Suits (2011–…): Season 6, Episode 12 - The Painting - full transcript

Previously on "Suits"...

You made a fool out of Dad
for the last time.

- Harvey--
- Stop it.

You get the hell
out of my father's house.

I am walking out of here

with that thing in my hands,

or I am putting your firm
in the ground.

- Take the painting.
- You told me that painting

was the one happy memory
you had of your mother.

Every application
I filled out today

asked if I was
a convicted felon.



None of these places are gonna
hire me after I check that box.

A legal clinic isn't the only
way to get back.

Are you offering me
a teaching job?

- I am.
- You think this is funny?

Cracks me up that our teacher
was in prison last week.

All you care about
is proving to me

that you should be
managing partner,

when everyone in the world knows
that you shouldn't.

So, if you think I'm gonna let
you be managing partner,

you're out of your
goddamn mind!

One of the students told his
parents that you were in prison.

I tried to explain the situation
to them, but...

I'm sorry, Mike.

They're all leaving,
Donna--



first Jessica and now Mike.

They're family.

You always talk like
we're your only family.

You need to go make things right
with your mother.

[cup clatters]

Mike, what are
you doing here?

I thought school started
at 7:00.

It does.
I just don't work there anymore.

What?

What happened?

One of the students told their
parents I was a criminal.

They went
to the archdiocese, and...

you know, Father Walker
had no choice.

Why didn't you tell me this
last night?

'Cause I didn't want to step
on your moment.

You were so happy
about Louis' offer.

So what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna take the day
to enjoy my life as a free man.

And then tomorrow...

I'm gonna start all over again.

Hey.

Ray's downstairs
waiting for you.

I didn't call him.

I did.

He's got your black suit
and an overnight bag,

and he's taking you
to the train station.

Donna...

You need to go to your
father's funeral, Harvey.

I can't.
There's too much going on here.

Listen to me--you just
suffered a huge loss,

and you're acting like
it's business as usual.

I'm acting like I've got
a job to do.

Harvey, if you don't
grieve him--

I will grieve my father
in my own way.

No, you won't.

You'll bottle it up,
and you'll try to move on, but--

She's gonna be there, Donna.

I know she is.

But this funeral
isn't about her.

And it's not about you.

It's about your dad...

the man you love more than
anyone in the entire world.

And if you don't
say good-bye to him,

you're gonna regret that
for the rest of your life.

[sighs]

[knock at door]

Donna, what are you doing here?

The question is,
what are you still doing here?

I made you an 8:00 reservation
to Boston,

which means you should be
halfway there by now.

I missed my flight.

Harvey, you never
miss your flight.

And the last time
you said you did,

you were lying
to me then, too.

- Donna...
- Please tell me

you didn't change your mind
about seeing her.

I didn't.

Then what's the problem?

I haven't seen the woman
in seven years.

The last time I did--

I know what happened
the last time you did.

Listen to me.

Every day you go out
in the world,

and you find a way to win.

It's who you are.
It's what you do.

Donna, this isn't
about winning.

Yes, it is.

But it's not just one person
in this case, it's two,

and right now
you're both losing.

What if I can't do it?

Then don't get on that plane.

But that bag
sitting over there

tells me that you're ready
to forgive her.

And if you are, then that's
all you need to do.

[knock at door]

- Nathan.
- You remember me.

I remember everyone.
What are you doing here?

I'm here because I may not
have been there

when you dropped off
your résumé,

but I still run that clinic.

I'm here to offer you a job.

- I don't understand.
- Hector Suarez.

I'm assuming you remember him,
too, right?

- What about him?
- Well, after you left,

I picked up your file.

Don't tell me--you kept him
in the country.

No, Mike. You did.

I thought, "Maybe this guy
will become a lawyer someday."

And then I read about you
in the paper last year

and found out you never did.

So you knew that I faked
being a lawyer twice,

and you're still here
to offer me a job?

I wouldn't be,
except for this.

You told the truth.

As far as I'm concerned,
that means

you're worth
taking a chance on.

Wow, you really are
a do-gooder.

I'm not here to do good
for you.

I'm here to do good
for my clinic,

because I'm hiring
a partner-level attorney

from one of the top firms
in the city

for the price of the kid
who gets me my coffee.

You have a kid
who gets you coffee?

No, we can't afford that.

But if we could, I'd pay him
what I'm gonna pay you.

So are you in or not?

When do I start?

I don't think I've ever seen
you in a suit before.

Harvey, you made it.

I wouldn't miss it
for the world.

[sighs, chuckles]

Harvey, listen, um--

You don't have to say it.
I know.

She's here.
It's not just that.

She asked if she could say
a few words about Dad.

And what,
you're gonna let her?

- Harvey--
- She is not saying

a single word
as long as I'm here.

Yes, she is,
and if you make a scene

in front of my kids

on the day that we put
our dad into the ground,

I swear to God, I will beat
the shit out of you,

because she's my mother, and
I'm gonna let her say her piece.

Hey.

Harvey...
It's good to see you.

Wish I could say
the same thing, Lily, but...

I'd be lying if I did.

Well, I'm sorry
you feel that way.

And whether you believe it
or not, I loved your father.

And I am sad to see him go.

Yeah, well,
I don't believe it,

and I didn't come here
to see you.

I came here to honor my father,

so get up there,
say what you're gonna say,

and let's get this over with.

♪ ♪

Harvey.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to talk to you.

I can't believe it.
This is wonderful.

I thought maybe you wanted
to get dinner tonight.

There is nothing
I would rather do

than get dinner with you,
but I can't tonight.

I wish
you would have called.

I would have,
but, uh...

You didn't have
my phone number.

No, I didn't.

How about tomorrow night?

I wasn't really planning
on being here two nights.

My firm is in a...

vulnerable spot right now.

Harvey, it's the kids'
art show.

It's once a year.
I can't cancel it.

You know what?
This is silly.

You flew
all the way up here.

No.

We can do it
tomorrow night.

Don't tell me.
You took the job.

Actually, until this morning,
I didn't think

there was a chance in hell
I was getting this job.

Sounds to me like you had
a friend at the front desk

who put your résumé
at the top of the pile.

Sounds to me like I owe
that person a beer.

Just so we're clear--
I'm that guy.

I get the picture.

- Welcome to the clinic, Mike.
- Thanks, Oliver.

- I see you met Oliver here.
- I did.

We got along right away.
Good, good.

Well, you're off
to a good start.

I guess the only thing left

is for you to show me
where my desk is.

Right. It's, uh, right inside
that office right there.

I didn't think
I was getting an office.

Look, just because
I'm paying you dick

doesn't mean I'm not gonna
give you the tools for the job.

What exactly is my job?
'Cause as far as I can tell,

I'm the only one here
with an office.

Everybody listen up.

You have a new supervisor
starting today.

His name is Mike Ross.

Mike is from
Pearson Specter Litt,

and he knows more about law
than all of you combined.

So, if Mike tells you to do
something, you do it.

I don't mean to question
the new world order,

but what is his title?

Great question, Marissa.
Um...

senior individual
in charge of you?

Any more queries?
I didn't think so.

All right, back to work.
Let's go.

You really weren't kidding

when you said you were
doing this for you.

No, I wasn't.

I've been trying to get somebody
in this position

for this money
for the last ten years,

and now that I have...

I'm gonna take
full advantage of it.

Then why don't you go back
to wherever your office is

and stay there for the rest
of the year?

'Cause I'll be busy
kicking ass out here.

That's what I like to hear.

Hey, who do you have to know
around here to get a good table?

Jesus Christ.

Do my eyes deceive me,

or do you look
just like my big brother,

only older, fatter,
and douchier?

I appreciate you noticing.
I put in a lot of effort.

Seriously, Harvey,
why are you here?

I thought it was time
to, uh, make my peace with Mom.

Harvey, that's great.

But, uh, a lot has been said
over the years.

You can't just show up
on Mom's door.

Actually, I already did.

What? When?

I went over to the college.

She's having an art opening
tonight for her students,

so we're gonna have dinner
here tomorrow night.

Well, then
I will get you a table.

And what you're going to do

is cancel whatever fancy
bullshit hotel you booked,

and you're going to stay
the night with us.

Marcus, come on, I'm at the
Ambassador Suite at the Ritz.

Don't think of saying no

because I'm going to tell Katie
and the kids that you're here.

You guys offer
room service?

If by "room service,"

you mean string cheese
and Triscuits,

oh, yeah,
we've got room service.

All right,
well, then count me in.

Marissa, right?
Mike.

I know. The new boss.

- [chuckles]
- What?

It's nothing--
it's just where I come from,

the, uh--the bosses
don't bike to work.

I guess this is
no Pearson Specter Litt.

No, it's not, which is
actually why I came here.

I'm glad, because there are
a lot of people here

who could really use your help,
but I'm not one of them.

Aren't you still
a law student?

A law student
who's won every case I've had

since I've been here.
Great, so I guess that means

you have everything
under control

on the Price case, then?

You just got here.

How did you--
I'm a fast reader.

Marissa, I'm not trying
to throw my weight around here

on the first day,
but according to her file,

Miss Price missed
her court date,

which means I need to know
what your plan is.

My plan is
to have Miss Price

explain that she is
a single mother

living in an apartment
with a broken window

and no heat for months, and
they're trying to kick her out.

And if all you're gonna do
is tell the judge

that it's not fair,
you're gonna lose.

You need legal foundation.
I have legal foundation.

Berger v. Chozick--

tenants are permitted to seek
injunctive relief

if vital repair requests
have gone unanswered.

Then I hope you have backup,
'cause the attorneys

representing the other side
have kicked out

300 tenants
in the past six years,

which means
they are not messing around.

I'm not either,
which is why I have

Miss Price coming in
at 3:00 tomorrow.

So is there anything else
I can help you with?

Or maybe
you can spend some time

on some of the other people's
cases around here.

♪ ♪

Louis, I need your help.

- Of course. What is it?
- Teddy Doyle just called.

He has an emergency.

So you mean Harvey
needs my help.

- Louis--
- Donna, give me

one good reason
why I should help him.

You're not helping
Harvey, Louis.

You're helping the firm.
Teddy is a client of all of us.

No, Harvey made it clear
that there is no us.

Louis, Harvey's going
through something right now.

His outburst
wasn't about you.

You can believe
whatever you want,

but Harvey lashed out at me,
and now he's not even man enough

to come to me to ask me
for help himself?

Why should I even lift a finger
to help him?

Because he went to go make
things right with his mother.

And he did it because of how he
felt after he lashed out at you.

Otherwise, he'd be taking care
of Teddy himself.

So you want
to help him or not?

What do you need me to do?

Mike?
What's going on?

Rachel. I thought you weren't
getting home till 8:00.

- It's 8:30.
- I guess I lost track of time.

I have just been buried
in this paperwork.

Yeah, I can see that.
Are we being audited?

I got a job.

And I would have called you
right away,

but I've been swamped from the
minute I walked into the clinic.

You got a job
at a legal clinic?

Mike, that's amazing.
Yeah, it is.

- Um...
- Yes, they know about me.

In fact, it's the reason
I got hired.

Let me guess--they were
smart enough to appreciate

they can get someone
with your experience

for ten cents on the dollar.

You got it.

$35,000 a year
to be exact.

Mm!
Which means...

we should probably start
packing up the place now,

'cause we definitely cannot
afford to live here anymore.

I would live
in a shoebox with you

if it meant you were happy.

Aw, I think you meant that you
would live in a shoebox

as long as the Thai place
still delivered.

- And the sushi place.
- Of course.

- Want one?

Half hour ago.

so I called her in at 2:30

because I knew you wouldn't
give me the chance to meet her,

just like I know
the other side

is gonna approach her
when you're not there.

- They can't do that.
- Why? Because it's unfair?

- Because it's illegal.

he got asthma.

The doctor said that we need
to keep all of the windows shut,

keep out the pollution,

but the window
in the living room--

it's been broken
for seven months.

My son is only
three years old.

The sound of him wheezing
at night...

not knowing if he's gonna
wake up in the morning...

So I thought, "Since that
slumlord only cares about money,

"I'm not gonna pay rent

until he fixes the window
and turns on the heat."

I'm so sorry, Sofia.

That sounds terrible.
It is.

And no one should have
to live like that.

But by violating your lease,
he has grounds to evict you,

to give him a check

I came here to tell you

I've never seen your mother
more excited

than when she was heading out
to have dinner with you.

She was finally gonna get

And then you pulled the rug out
from underneath her.

You took that excitement away.

Yeah, but we can't prove it.

Phone records aren't proof

No, but the only people

three times a week

are people who have a problem
that needs fixing.

Then we enter
the motel receipts

and the receipts
for the space heaters

as substitution for rent paid.

And not only
can he not evict her,

she doesn't have to pay
back rent.

Your Honor, my client is
a single mother

with two small children.

And my dog is
a Labrador retriever.

But the only thing
that's relevant here

is that his client hasn't paid
her rent in three months.

And the reason she hasn't paid
it is because she's had no heat

and a broken window
all winter,

despite repeated requests
for repairs.

There's absolutely
no documentation

of any such request.
That's not true.

My client called her landlord

20 times over the course
of two months,

as you can see
from her phone records.

That's not proof
of anything.

It's proof your client
spoke to mine

for an average
of two minutes per call,

and it wasn't to talk
about the weather.

Your Honor,
Mr. Grady gave me

a copy of this nonsense
20 minutes ago,

and he specifically agreed
it wasn't relevant.

That--that is a lie.

Really?
Because I have a phone record

of a two-minute call
that I made to you

ten minutes ago.

You may have called me,
but we didn't talk about that.

That's right.
Just because I called you

doesn't mean I can prove
what we talked about.

Your Honor,
she called 20 times.

Yeah, probably to say
why her rent was late,

because she never paid it.

But we won't know that

because we don't have it
in writing,

which is what
the court requires.

Your Honor, I need...

I'd like to request time
to confer with my supervisor.

His supervisor?
He's a lawyer.

- You have to help him.
- I can't.

I just need a minute

didn't pay her rent.
