Suits (2011–…): Season 6, Episode 13 - Teeth, Nose, Teeth - full transcript

I'd like to give them something.

- You're gonna be the one
who gave him his last name.

- My little guy--he got asthma.

The window in the living room--

it's been broken
for seven months.

- His client hasn't paid
her rent in three months.

- She's had no heat,
and a broken window all winter

despite repeated
requests for repair.

- We don't have it in writing,

which is what
the court requires.

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



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

- We are requesting
permission to evict

if we don't have a check
by 10:00 A.M. tomorrow.

- $3,600.
- Should be enough

to cover your rent
for the last three months.

- This is a job offer.
- When you graduate,

you're gonna have to pass
the character of fitness test.

- And you think
working at your firm

looks better than
working at mine.

- You're gonna tell me
you had nothing to do

with Harvey asking me
to help you get a law license.

- I wasn't even on her radar.

I had one thing I wanted to do,
and you ruined it for me,

just because you can't
accept the fact



that I don't wanna
come back here.

I was trying to help you.
- I don't believe you.

Stop messing with my life!

- Hey. Mike,
what are you doing here?

- I came to apologize
for yelling at you

- You don't have to do that.
- Yes, I do.

I know you only had
my best interest at heart.

You always do, and...

I shouldn't have snapped at you.

- I shouldn't have gone to her
behind your back.

- That's okay.

It kinda worked out.

- Come on in.
Let's have a drink.

You can tell me all about it.

you kidding me?
A legal clinic?

- Mm-hmm.
- I thought Gibbs told you

she'd never let that happen.

- Yeah, by telling people
i was a fraud.

Turns out the one guy
who knew I was a fraud

from years ago
runs the clinic.

Not only was he
willing to hire me,

he was happy about it.

- Seems like crime does pay.

You bet your ass it does.

What?
- You're never gonna believe it,

but they have me supervising
this third-year law student.

- You mean you have a you.
- She is so much worse than me.

- Is she constantly
talking about

what a great memory she has?

Dresses shitty?
She have man purse?

- Are you done?

- Why? You have
someplace you gotta be?

- Actually,
i am supposed to stay away

from our apartment for awhile.

- So anyway, I said to Louis,
"i don't care

"if most of the associates
start in the bullpen.

I'm not giving up
my office."

- That's great, Rachel, but I'm
on my third glass of chardonnay,

and I don't think
you called me over here

to tell me you submitted
your application to the bar,

or that you're putting
your foot down with Louis.

You're right.

I called you over here
to tell you that...

I put my foot down with Mike.

- You finally told him to pick
a hairstyle and stick with it?

- No.

I finally told him

that he made me a promise
before he went away,

and now that he's back

and gainfully employed,

it's time for him to make
an honest woman of me.

- Rachel,
I'm so happy for you.

And the answer's yes.

- What answer?

I didn't ask you a question yet.
- Yes, you did,

and I'd be thrilled to be
your maid of honor.

- Thank you, Donna.

- Mike, that's great.

I'm happy for you.

- Still up for being
my best man?

- Wouldn't miss it
for the world.

We going back to the church?

- No, we're gonna do it
at our place this time.

- No, you can't do that.

- Yeah, we just wanna keep it
small, intimate.

- I understand, but what kinda
best man would I be

if I didn't offer for you
to have it here?

- Pretty shitty one
if you ask me.

- So basically
you came here to apologize,

so you didn't have to
get married

at your shitty
little apartment.

- You think that I'd ask you
to be my best man

if we had a better location?

Congratulations.

Thanks, Harvey.

you don't skip out on this one.
- Yeah, it's funny.

We also need to make sure
that you don't--

--Donna at the wedding.

- What did you just say?
- Huh?

- You got something
caught in your throat?

- No, I'm all good.

- What's this?

- We're celebrating.

- Louis, you know
i can't have champagne.

- I know, which is why
we're having

the best sparkling apple cider
money can buy.

- Well, in that case...

What are we celebrating?

- The fact that it's
your first sonogram this week.

- Louis, about the sonogram...

Joshua asked
if he could be there.

- What?
- He's the baby's father.

He wants to be in its life.

- Or wants to be in your life.

- Louis,
i chose you over him.

You don't have to be
worried about that.

And if you want me to say
he can't be there for this,

but he asked me, and I thought
it was a fair request,

so I'm asking you.

- Yeah, he can be there.

- are you sure?
- No, I'm not,

but I know it's
the right thing to do.

- Thank you.

- um, excuse me,
i just need to--

- oh, hello, Benjamin.

Have you come to manipulate
my hard drive?

Debug my processor?

Reboot my motherboard?

- Please, I just need to
update your vox in peace.

- If I wanted my vox updated,
I'd be talking to someone

with a lot more
experience than you.

- Ms. paulsen,
i know you know this

but I will remind you
for the 37th time--

that vox is our computer's
operating system,

and it needs to be updated
once a quarter.

- Once a quarter?

What, are we married?

'Cause I got news for you.
This main frame

needs a new memory stick
a hell of a lot more than

once a quarter.
- That's it. I'm finished.

I would walk you through
the hard restart,

but I'm afraid you'd focused
on all the wrong words

in that sentence.
- No, right now

I'm just focused on the fact
that you're finished.

Now leave your money
on the table,

so I can watch you walk away.

Mmm!

- Mind telling me
what that was all about?

- You mean me making
sexually suggestive comments

to our it guy?
- He has a name, you know.

- I do, but I'd be shocked
if you knew what it was.

- That's not the point.

- No, Harvey,
the point is,

I'm not doing
anything to him,

I'm doing it for him.

- And how exactly
do you figure that?

- I figure that,
because Benjamin updates

everybody else's
computers remotely,

and once a quarter
he's down here,

pretending not to like my act,

so unless you want me to focus
my rapier-like wit on you,

I suggest you walk
your pretty little self

back into your office.

- Benjamin.
I knew it.

- No, you didn't.

- Mike, thank god you're here.

Sofia price just called.

She's been in the hospital
since last night with her son.

- Is he okay?
- I think so, for now.

It was an asthma attack, but
she wanted me to tell you that--

- she couldn't drop off
the check for her rent.

Damn it, um...

Call her back.
Tell her I'm on it.

- Mike, wait.

You covered what she owed
with your own money, didn't you?

- We can talk about
how awesome I am later.

Right now, I need to
make sure that Sofia's rent

is paid by 10:00.

- Louis,
can I talk to you?

- Of course.

- I--i don't even know
what to do.

My hands are shaking.
- Rachel, what's going on?

- I'm not getting into the bar.

- What? That's ridiculous.
- Read this.

- After careful
review of your application,

will not be granting you
an interview?

This is bullshit!
- I know,

because I knew I was gonna
have to defend myself,

but I didn't think
i wasn't even gonna have

the chance to defend myself.

- Okay, calm down.
- How can I calm down?

This is exactly
what my dad was afraid of.

He said that they'd hold
my relationship with Mike

against me.

- You don't know
this is about Mike.

- Of course it's about Mike.
What--

what else would it be about?
- It could be a mix-up,

some kind of clerical error.

You could've filled out
the paperwork wrong.

- I went over it ten times.

- Rachel, there is
an explanation for this,

and I'm gonna get to
the bottom of it.

- You don't know that.
- Look at me.

I promise you will get
your interview, okay?

- Okay.

- Harvey, we have a problem.

- What is it?

This is about Mike.
- Of course it's about Mike.

That's why I came
here the second

Rachel left my office.

- What'd you tell Rachel?
- What do you think I told her?

I told her that it must be
some kind of mistake,

but you and i
both knows it's not,

- Yeah, I do need to fix it,
and I will.

Normally,
instead of coming to me,

you'd go full steam ahead
and do something

that makes the situation
significantly worse.

- Possibly.
What are you getting at?

- Why did you come to me?

- Because we said
we'd run this firm together,

of what I'm good at
and what you're good at.

- And you know I'm better at
this kinda thing than you are?

- I do.

- Thank you, Harvey.
And it shows growth on your part

not to make light of the fact
that I just admitted

something that was...

Very difficult for me to admit.

- You mean that I'm better
at everything than you.

- That's not what I said.
- Too bad,

because that's what I heard.

- Okay, Harvey, seriously,

this is not about you
having fun with me.

This is about Rachel.

- I know it is,
and if I weren't confident

that I could take care of it,

I wouldn't be
giving you a hard time

for admitting
how much better I am

at everything than you.
- God damn it.

- Sorry, Louis, gotta go be
better at something.

See you later.

- can I help you?
- Yes, you can.

My name's Mike Ross.

I'm here on behalf of
Sofia price,

and this is every dime of rent
she owes your client.

- And why exactly are you
bringing that to me?

- Because you're an attorney,
not a landlord,

and I don't want there to be
any misunderstandings.

- What I understand
is that it's 10:18,

and your client had till 10:00.

- You have got to be
shitting me.

- I most certainly am not,

and maybe your client
should have thought of that

before not paying her rent
all those months.

You're trying to get her out,
so that you can get this place

out from under rent control,

but I'm not gonna let you
get away with it.

is that my client is sick of
having a troublemaker,

who doesn't pay her rent,
as a tenant.

- Listen to me,
you cannot evict her now.

Her son is in the hospital.

- I have a job to do.

Now, I am sorry about
your client's son,

but the court was very clear,

and there's nothing more
that I can do.

- Mike, what happened?

- Got there 18 minutes late.

- What does it matter?
You had three months back rent.

- They wanna kick her out
to get out of rent control,

and now that we've missed
the deadline,

there's nothing
we can do about it.

- Wrong, there is.

I got to thinking--why would
they be in such a hurry

to evict somebody who can
actually come up with the money?

- They're not just trying to
get her out.

They're trying to
get everyone out.

- Exactly.

I was over there last night.
The workers were already there,

which means
they've already started.

- I get it. You wanna hit 'em
with a countersuit.

- I wanna nail their asses
to the wall.

I'm gonna go talk to Nathan
about stopping Sofia's eviction

from happening in the meantime.
- Mike.

You don't need to go to Nathan.
I can handle this.

- Listen, I appreciate that--
- I get it.

I shit the bed the other day.

- Oliver--
- look, Mike.

I admit, sometimes I get
flustered in court.

But the law's clear on this.
It's a layup.

If we have a pending lawsuit,
it puts an automatic hold

on the eviction.

I'm telling you
i can handle this.

Please, let me make up
for the other day.

- Well, what are you
waiting for?

Get your ass down to court.

Let me know
as soon as it's done.

What the hell did you do
to my computer?

- I didn't do anything to it,

- If that's your idea of
increasing performance,

then you ought to
rethink your career,

because that thing
has crashed more times

than Mel Gibson on his way home
from a Saturday night.

Wait a second,
are you smiling?

- Of course not.
You're yelling at me.

You're up to something, and you
better come clean right now.

- Okay.
I was hoping to do this

in a more formal
environment, but...

Allow me to introduce
the Donna.

- What the hell is that?

- It's a digital version of you,

with approximately
10,000 of your best quotes,

witticisms, and zingers,
packed into five gigahertz

of computing power.

- That's why you've been
personally updating my computer

and nobody else's?

for the better part of
two years.

- Two years?

- Because everyone always wishes
they could say the right thing

in the universe who says
the right thing every time.

the most amazing legal secretary
in the history of everything.

- Benjamin,
that's the sweetest thing

- Okay, but you said it
about yourself two weeks ago.

- That I did.
- In that case,

Donna paulsen,
i wasn't gonna ask you this

for another few weeks,
but how would you feel about

pursuing this with me
as a business opportunity?

- Let me think about it.

But first, let me borrow
that thing for a few days.

- wanna tell me
why you're playing games

with my associate's
admission to the bar?

- You're Harvey specter.
- In the flesh,

and if I don't walk out of here
with an appointment in my hand,

because Rachel Zane
deserves to make her case.

This is clearly
a scheduling error.

Sorry.
I will, uh,

set her interview for
two weeks from today.

- I'd say thank you,
but you should've done that

in the first place.

- I don't think
she's gonna pass, though.

- What'd you say?
- I just thought you should know

the vote has to be unanimous

among the members of
the committee,

and I have a sense that

at least one
isn't gonna say yes.

- Well, you could've
just rejected her,

but you went to the trouble
to get me down here,

so get to it.

- Well, I'm just saying...

That if someone were to, say,

sue my biggest competitor

for enough money so that
their stock price plummets,

perhaps Ms. Zane's chances would
take a turn for the better.

- Let me get this straight,

you're on the ethics committee,

and you're asking me to do
something illegal.

- It's not illegal
if you can find

a legitimate reason to sue them.

or you wouldn't be
calling me in here,

blackmailing me into doing this.

- The more to the story is,

you have a history of
ethical ambiguity,

and that's what this requires.

And you're either gonna do it,
or you're not.

Either way, like I said,

Ms. Zane's interview
is in two weeks.

- reckless endangerment?
Is this a joke?

- I guarantee you,
Sofia price isn't laughing.

- Well,
any judge in his right mind

is gonna laugh you out of court,

because you don't
understand the law.

- No, you're the one
that doesn't understand the law,

You started demolition with
tenants still in your building.

You sent a three-year-old
to the emergency room.

- You pursue this, I'm going
straight after the mother,

and I'll turn her into
the negligent party,

and she'll be lucky
to keep her son.

that you filed construction
plans with the city,

claiming that
the building was empty,

which is punishable
under the criminal code.

- No, Mr. Ross,
you won't show them anything.

He will.

Did you think I wouldn't
check up on you

when all of a sudden,
a queens legal clinic

starts acting like
a midtown law form.

Well, I did.

And if this goes to trial,

he's the one I'm up against,

and we all know
what happened last time.

- You wouldn't be here if that's
all you wanted to tell me.

- So why don't you
give me a number,

and I'll take it to my client.

- $10,000.
Not a penny more.

- You see, all my experience
at a midtown law firm

tells me you're authorized
to go to 20,

so let's say 25
and call it a day.

- $25,000?

- Criminal charges, Linda.

So if I were you,
I'd cut that check,

consider it a bargain,
and hope to hell

that little boy
doesn't get worse.

- hey, any luck?

- Depends on your
definition of the word.

I met with the asshole
that sent the letter to Rachel.

to give her an interview.
- No, I got her the interview,

but the vote has to unanimous,

and he's putting
a price on his vote.

- What does he want?

- He wants us
to fabricate a lawsuit

against his biggest competitor.
- Jesus Christ,

that's not an ask,
that's a criminal action.

- You think I don't know that?

- Okay, Harvey, if we find
a legitimate suit,

it doesn't have to be illegal,

which means,
under the circumstances,

maybe it's worth doing.
- I'm not doing shit

until I know
the full story on this guy.

- Harvey, this is Rachel's
future we're talking about.

- Yeah, I know it is,
but I'm telling you

this isn't all he wants,

and I'm not going to
agree to anything

until I know
what the hell it really is.

- Well, what are we gonna do?

- I'm not doing anything.
You are.

- I don't understand.

- Louis, you were man enough
to admit to me

that I'm better at
fixing things.

Well, you're better at
something than me,

and it's called
financial transactions.

- I appreciate that, Harvey,
but what does that matter?

- This guy's doing this
to drive down

someone's stock price,
and I wanna know why.

- I'll take care of it.

What do we tell Rachel?

- The truth--
that it was a mix-up,

but now she's got
a date on the books.

And you and I need to
fix this before then.

Sofia.

How is he?
- He's okay.

They said he should get out
in a couple of days.

I have some good news.

- We can stay in our place?

- No.

But you have a month
to find a new place,

and a check for $25,000
to help you find it.

Mr. Ross, I'm grateful for
everything you've done,

but Marissa told me that
if we could prove

what happened to aj
is their fault,

they'd have to pay.

- They are paying.

- Shouldn't they pay at least
enough for his treatment?

His injections
next year are gonna be

$25,000 right there.

- Sofia, going to court
is always risk.

- Our lives have been
one risk after another.

- This check isn't a risk.
This is real money.

- how much could we get
if we win?

- Absolute best case--
$500,000--

but I'm telling you--
- please, Mr. Ross.

They did this to him,

and if we have a chance
to change his life,

we need to take it.

- Okay.

- Louis, can I help you?

- I was just thinking about
when I stood here years ago,

and I had to tell you

that you weren't gonna
get into Harvard.

You thought you'd
never be a lawyer,

but I knew you'd find a way.

- You got me my interview.

- I did.

Turns out...

It was just a mix-up.

- Thank you, Louis.

Do you think I'm still gonna
have to defend myself

about my relationship with Mike?

- I don't know, Rachel,

but I do know we're gonna do
whatever it takes

to make sure
you become a lawyer.

- I'm seeing someone.

- These aren't for you.
They're for my fiancée.

But if it'll get you to close
this deal, you can keep 'em.

I'll just buy her
another bouquet.

- I already closed this deal.
- Turns out you didn't.

- That is bad faith.
- Circumstances changed.

- What the hell changed
between today and tonight?

- My client found out that
her son needs more treatment,

which means
she needs more money.

- I think what happened
is your client's seeing

an opportunity for
a bigger payday,

and you can't control her.

- Well, what you think
doesn't really matter.

If you don't raise
your offer to $100,000,

we're going to court.
- Are you out of your mind?

This isn't wall street.

We don't give out
that kind of money.

a hell of a lot more than that.
- And if I agree to this,

you'll be right back here
tomorrow, asking for more.

- Look, I'm telling you,

I can get her to agree to this.

- And I am telling you,

you've had your offer.
That's all your gonna get,

and if you don't take it
right now, we're going to trial,

and I am gonna
wipe the floor with this kid.

- I wouldn't be
so sure about that.

- Listen to me,
if you think

you're gonna pull
some kind of trick

to get you to be able to

sit next to him
and hold his hand,

there's no way
that's gonna happen,

because you were deemed a fraud,

and no judge in the world
is gonna let you

turn his court into a joke.

- Jesus Christ,
Harvey's handwriting is so bad,

he makes my doctor
look like a calligrapher.

The Donna:
You're telling me, sister.

than Mel Gibson
on a Saturday night.

- Holy shit,
you can adjust my phrases

to the situation at hand?
The Donna: Of course I can.

As a matter of fact,
I just incorporated

"holy shit" into
my vocabulary right now.

- No way, that had to have
already been in there.

The Donna: Well, look who
finally showed up to the party.

"The party,"
written by, produced by,

and starring the Donna.

The Donna: Of course you do.
I'm you.

- And you know what you are?
Both: Awesome.

- Hey.

The Donna:
I think we've earned it.

- Yeah.
Me too.

The Donna:
And none of that keurig shit

that Gretchen likes.

Fresh brewed, or nothing.

- When did you get so sassy?

- Harvey, good, you're here.

- I got your message.
Did you find something?

- You tell me.

Explains a lot, doesn't it?
- It does.

Good work.
I'll take it from here.

- Wait, where are you going?
- Where do you think I'm going?

I'm gonna see that asshole
and set him straight.

Turkey, no Mayo, extra pickles,
like you like it.

- Do you want me to fix
Rachel's problem or not?

- I do.
It's just...

I thought we could talk.

- What do you mean talk?

- Harvey, please, I need to
talk to you man-to-man.

It's not about business.

- Did you really get me
extra pickles?

- Donna once told me
that's what you like.

- Okay, Louis,
i got a few minutes.

- you really can tell
if it's fresh brewed or not?

The Donna: Please,
this isn't my first rodeo.

You're telling me.

- Donna, could I talk to you
for a second?

The Donna: Of course you can.
What do you need, hot pants?

- What--what is that?

- It's a device
called the Donna

that Benjamin's working on,
and it's awesome.

Go ahead, ask it something.

- I don't wanna
ask it something.

I wanna ask you something.

The Donna: If by you, you mean
much better than you.

- See?
What did I tell you?

- Donna, I'm serious.

Look, this is
a really cute joke,

but can I please just have
a conversation with my friend?

The Donna: If by friend,
you mean--

- of course you can, Rachel.

What do you need?

- So let me
get this straight,

you're in love with a woman
that you've known

for about ten minutes.
She's having another man's baby,

and yet, you're gonna marry her,
and raise it as your own.

- In a nutshell.

- What exactly
do you want from me?

- I need your advice.

The guy's gonna be at
the sonogram tomorrow,

and I'm afraid
i may cause a scene.

- Louis, I don't understand
what you're coming to me for.

What do I know about--
- here, this is why.

Yeah, you get it?

This is why I'm coming to you.

- Oh, he's good-looking.

- He's not just good-looking.

He's a goddamn
renaissance statue.

And I need to know
what he's thinking.

- Louis, I don't speak
for all handsome men.

- What do you see
when you look at me?

Right now, be honest.
Say the first three things

- Teeth, nose, teeth.
- God damn it! Be serious.

- I am being serious.

- Well, you know what--

never mind.
I shouldn't have come to you.

- Louis, it doesn't
matter what I see.

What matters is
what this woman sees,

and she obviously
sees something,

or she wouldn't be with you.

- Look, I appreciate that,
Harvey, but you know me.

I'm gonna be in
the same room as him,

looking at an image of
what he made with her.

How do I not lose my shit?

- You're right.
It is his baby.

And you're gonna want it to have
as much love as it possibly can,

and that means having a good
relationship with its father,

because there's nothing
more important than family.

You're right.

Thank you, Harvey.

- Hey, Mike.
How's it going out there?

What can I do for you?

- I want you to take
a look at this.

- Let me get this straight,

you want Oliver
to petition the court

to let Marissa argue his case.
- Yes, I do.

- Well, that's not gonna happen.
- Why not?

- 'Cause he's
a full-fledged attorney,

and she's a third-year
law student.

- He gets flustered in court.

- I'm telling you that I don't
think that he can handle this.

She can, and this woman's
future is on the line.

- Then convince her
to take the deal.

- She doesn't want the deal.

- Putting me in a hell of
a spot here, Mike.

- Nathan, you hired me
for a reason.

You told me to run
the associates,

Now, are you gonna let me
do that or not?

- You're gonna do it, do it,

but you're gonna be
the one to tell Oliver.

- You wanted to see me?

- Yeah, I, uh--i did.
Come in.

I want to talk to you about
the, uh, Sofia price case.

five similar cases in New Jersey
that won huge settlements.

- That's good work,
and we can use that.

But listen, I need you
to do something for me.

- You want Marissa
to be first chair.

- I think it's for the best.

- Mike, I know why you think
this is the right choice,

but I can do this.
- I'm sorry, Oliver,

but at this point
in your career,

I don't think you can.

you said it yourself--
you get flustered in court.

- I know that, but if
I'm going to be a real lawyer,

I have to get better in trial,
and the only way to do that

is to get back on the horse.
- And I'm telling you

that when the right case
comes along,

I promise
i will let you do that,

but this is not the case.

This one's Marissa's,

and I need to know
you have her back.

- I do.

- Good.

- I'll go tell her.

- You don't have to
do that, Oliver.

- Yes, I do.

if she thinks I have
confidence in her,

not that you don't have
confidence in me.

- you're back.
- You better believe I'm back,

because I looked into
what you're doing

- There's really not much
to find, Mr. specter.

- Well, let me
lay it out for you.

Velocity data solutions
stole your technology,

and they're
rushing it to market,

so you want to
orchestrate a takeover

and get back what's yours.
That sound about right?

- My company is gonna go under,
because of what they did.

People are gonna
lose their jobs.

- Then go to the FBI.

- I can't.
- Why not?

- Because I can't.

- Yeah, I'll tell ya
why you can't.

Because a squeaky
clean guy like you

doesn't come to a guy like me
unless he's got no choice,

and you need me
a hell of a lot more

than I need you,
so why don't you give me a call

when you're ready
to tell the truth.

They got it from me.

- I'm listening.

- I had an affair.

I was stupid and careless,
and she got access to my laptop.

and your wife
can't find out about it,

and that's why
you can't go to the FBI.

- There, now you know.

- What I know is Rachel Zane
deserves to be in the bar,

so you're not only gonna
stop blocking her,

you're gonna run
interference for her

if someone else does.

- Bullshit.
You had the power to stop it,

and you better believe
that you can turn it

the other direction.

- And in return,
you'll do what I want.

- No.

You're gonna do it, because it's
the right thing to do.

But I'll do what you want
for something else.

- I need to talk to you.

- Oliver just gave me
all the case files for Sofia.

He said I'm the one
who should bring this home.

- Yeah, I know.

We talked about it,
and I agree with him.

- Mike, I know this wasn't
Oliver's idea.

It was yours.

'Cause you don't
think he's ready.

Which is why I'm coming to you.

- Marissa, you can handle this.
- I know I can,

but the problem is
i can't do it.

- What are you talking about?

- Um, my father's been sick,

and I haven't talked about it,
because I don't like to...

But now he needs surgery,

and I put in for
the time off weeks ago,

and I have to be there for him,

but now that
I'm telling you this,

I'm thinking maybe I could
fly back a few days early,

or I could get there
a day later--

- stop, stop, stop.

It's okay.

- I wanna help Sofia, Mike.
- I know you do.

But you need to be
with your father.

- what are you gonna do?

- I'll figure something out.

- Donna, hey,
how did you like the--

- it's a no.

- What do you mean it's a no?

- I mean it's a cute joke,
but I'm not interested

in pursuing it as
a business opportunity.

- I don't understand.
I thought you liked the idea.

- I did, but that was
before I realized

that it was nothing but
quippy lines and sassy remarks.

- But that's who you are.

- No, Benjamin.

That's part of who I am,

but that's because we don't
really know each other.

But if we did, you'd know that
what really makes me special

is my intuition and my empathy

and my heart,

and this doesn't have
any of that, so...

I'm sorry,
but it's a no.

- Mike.

I'd love to chat right now,
but I can't.

I'm actually going to a movie
for a change.

- Yeah, I just need a second.

- What's up?

- I need you to argue
the price case tomorrow.

- What'd you just ask me?
Because it sounded like

you want me to take the case
that you begged me

to give to Marissa.
- I did give it to her,

but you didn't tell me
that her father had surgery.

- Because I didn't know
her father had surgery.

- She put in for it.

Give it back to Oliver.
- I told you he'll lose.

- Then he'll lose.
Now I'm sorry, but I have to go.

- God damn it,
this is a woman's life,

and you're going to
a goddamn movie.

What the hell is wrong with you?

- Are you f--

listen, we work in a clinic.

Every one of our client's lives
is hanging by a thread,

and if they lose,
they're out on the street,

they don't get the surgery,
or they get deported.

And I haven't had a life
in five years,

which is why I hired you,

so don't you ever
say that to me again.

Look, Oliver's the kind of
lawyer we get here.

If he can't handle it,
he can't handle it.

That's how it goes.

- Then I wanna
petition the court

to sit at the table with him.

- No.

- We can ask for
a special exemption, and--

- and I said no, all right?

They will not Grant it,
and that is not your place here.

- Then at least I can
sit near him, and I can--

- you hear me right now!

I gave you a chance,
because I needed it,

but if you risk
the reputation of this clinic

over one housing case,
i will fire you

and make sure that
you are banned from

ever sitting foot
in a courtroom again.

Is that clear?

is that clear?
- Yes.

It's clear.

- this is a nice place
you got here.

- What are you
doing here, Harvey?

- I need to talk to you.

- Now's not a good time.
I gotta figure out how--

- what if I told you
i have a way

to get you into the bar?

- What?

- Someone came to us
trying to play games

with Rachel's character
and fitness interview and--

- wait, what--what the hell
are you talking about?

- Relax, I handled it,

but now we have a chance
to get you in.

- What's the catch?

- Harvey, there are
no free lunches.

What's the catch?

- We need to come up
with a lawsuit against

velocity data solutions
to drive their stock price down.

- Are you kidding me?
No.

- What do you mean no?
What--what's wrong with you?

- What's wrong with me is
i don't particularly feel like

going back to prison,
and the last time I checked,

fabricating a lawsuit to
manipulate a stock is illegal.

- It's not illegal
if we find a legitimate suit.

that we'd just be
telling ourselves that,

just like we told
ourselves we weren't

colluding with Cahill.

- And that got you
out of prison,

- Harvey, I'm more a lawyer now
than I ever was.

- Oh, bullshit, you're
a babysitter and you know it.

- Hey, I'm doing what I wanted,
and I'm helping people,

so if you wanna
call me a babysitter,

you go right ahead, but
right now the house is on fire,

the kids are in the bedroom,

and I'm about to
goddamn save them.

- Mike, we have
an opportunity right now.

It's not gonna
present itself again.

- I appreciate that, Harvey.

I do.

But I'm telling you,
my answer is no.

- Hey, what's going on?

What's the emergency?
Where's Marissa?

- Marissa's gone.

- What do you mean gone?

- I mean that you're
first chair tomorrow,

and we need to get you ready.

- Oliver, it's not a big deal.
- Not a big deal?

We can't risk having me
mess up in court again.

This case is too important.
You know how I know that?

Because you told me.
- I know what I said.

But we don't have time
to find anyone else.

Now, are we gonna
do this thing or not?

- It happened at
my first mock trial.

I was so prepared.

and the other side
threw a wrinkle in.

And I thought I could
think on my feet,

but all of a sudden,
i felt everyone watching me,

and my mouth went dry,
and my mind went blank,

and I froze.

- Oliver...

- Except now you told me
i can't handle it,

and that's gonna be
boring a hole in my brain,

making this thing
a thousand times harder.

- Well, I can't
take back what I said,

but what I can do
is stay here all night

to make sure you prove me wrong.

- I don't know.

- Yes, you do.

I want you to say it.

We're gonna win this.

- We're going to win this.

- Say it again.

- We're going to win this.

- One more time,

but this time mean it.

- We are going to win this.

is file a motion to dismiss.
- Actually, they already did.

- good.
Let's work on that.

- hey.
Sorry I'm late.

I had to stop off
and get Joshua a present,

'cause I wanted to welcome him
into the family.

- Louis, that is so sweet,

but it turns out
Joshua can't make it.

- What do you mean
he can't make it?

- He was gonna fly in,
but something came up with work,

so he canceled his flight.

- What the hell
kind of father is that?

- Louis--
- this is bullshit.

and if he's gonna be father,
he needs to be a father.

- What are you talking about?

You didn't even want him
to be here in the first place.

- Well, I want him here now.

- Louis, I thought you were

a more forgiving
person than this.

- And I thought you wanted
our baby to have a relationship

with its biological father.

- And he's going to.

But if you're gonna get
this worked up

about something like this,

it makes me think
i don't really know you.

Louis, can you honestly tell me
that you really know me?

- Are we ready
to take a picture?

- no, I don't.

And now I feel like
I'm ruining this, so...

If you don't want me
to come in with you, I won't.

- Maybe it's best
if I just do this myself.

- your honor, this incident
occurred three nights ago,

yet the boy has
a history of asthma,

proving one has nothing
to do with the other.

- These hospital records show

friable construction
material in his lungs.

How did it get there?
- It could have gotten there

from a hundred different places.

This case is based
entirely on speculation,

- This case is based on
the fact that your client

started construction
while tenants

- And what if I told you
Ms. price signed off this?

- I'd say that's not possible,
because she didn't.

- Well, you've got documents,

and I have one too.

This is a copy of
a certified letter

from my client
to the remaining tenants

three weeks ago,

stating that
construction will begin,

giving fair warning
to the occupants.

- Your honor, my client's
never seen that.

- Well, she might not
have seen it,

but she got it.
- It doesn't mean she opened it,

- According to the city,
that doesn't matter.

Building code 305-a:

"Tenants are required
to be notified

of all construction
by certified letter."

Is this a certified letter
or not?

- God damn it,
Oliver, say it's inadmissible.

- Yes, it is, but--

and therefore my client should
be absolved of all liability.

- I--i don't--i--

- Your honor, this is
the fraudulent attorney

I spoke with you about
before trial.

We ask that he either
refrain from speaking,

or be removed from the court

with an immediate ruling
for the defense.

- Request granted.

Sir, open your mouth
in my courtroom again,

and you will be removed,
and this case will be dismissed.

Mr. Grady,
do you have an objection

to Ms. Johnson's
statement or not?

- I don't.
I'm sorry, I don't.

- Then the court has no choice

but to dismiss this case
with prejudice.

- Benjamin, before you ask,
i already told you--

- what if I could make it
more like you?

is your intuition, your empathy,
and your heart.

What if I could
make it have that?

- How could you
possibly do that?

to learn from your quips,
i might be able to give it

the ability to learn
from your heart,

but it would require your help.

- You really think
we could do that?

- I don't know,
but I know we can try.

- Well, then the first thing
that you need to learn

is never, ever, ever
sit in my chair.

- Relax, Benjamin,
I'm just messing with you.

- Oh.
- But get out of my chair.

- Yeah.

- Louis, what--
what are you doing here?

- I need to bring you
a few things.

- What is all that?

- High school yearbooks,
childhood photo albums,

and six out of seven
of the highlight reels

my mother shot of us growing up.

- What happened to the seventh?

- Oh...
Summer of d&d.

And if it's all the same to you,

I would like to still
be able to have sex again.

Louis--
- you were right.

We don't know everything
about each other,

but that just means we need to
get to know each other better,

and what better way
to get to know each other

then by preparing to bring
our child into the world?

- Louis, if this is
your reaction

to what we went through today,

I feel like I know you
better already.

- Speaking of what
we went through today,

how'd it go?

- Why don't you take me home,

and I'll tell you all about it.

- Harvey, can I talk to you
for a second?

- Sure, Rachel.
What's going on?

- It's about my interview with

the character
and fitness committee.

- What about it?
- Louis tried to lie to me.

He said it was
some sort of mix-up,

but when I asked Donna about it,

she told me that
you were the one

who went to see that man for me,
not Louis.

Look, Harvey, it's okay,
you can tell me.

It was about Mike,
wasn't it?

- No, it was about leverage.

- What do you mean?

- The guy holding up
your interview

was trying to get us
to do something,

because he thought he could.

- Are you going to?

- Yes.
He is.

- Are you saying
what I think you're saying?

I'm in.
