Suits (2011–…): Season 6, Episode 9 - The Hand That Feeds You - full transcript

Previous on "Suits"...

- I put Gallo away
for racketeering.

But that's not what
he really did.

- What are you talking about?

- We had him for conspiracy
to commit murder,

and the police let the tape

of that bastard admitting
that he did it

out of the chain of custody
for 20 minutes.

- You had an alibi witness,

and your public defender
let her get away?

- That's what I've been saying!



- I didn't have
an alibi witness.

I had a no-show who
vanished into thin air.

- Well, you could've
asked for postponement

to have time to find her.

- And I would have,
except for one thing:

when I pressed her as to what
the two of them were doing

at the time of those murders,

she admitted they
were both on meth.

- Gallo's filing came back,

and it needs to be filed by
his attorney of record.

- You want me to represent
that animal?

- Kind of funny, isn't it?

You fighting to get me out

when you fought so hard
to put me away.



- It makes me sick
to my stomach,

but you're gonna give me
something in return.

Not only are you gonna
keep your hands off Mike,

you're gonna be his
personal protector in here.

- You kept my wife
out of prison.

As far as I'm concerned,
that makes us square.

- Harvey and Mike did it,

which means Mike's coming home.

- Oh, my God.

- Joshua called.

He's coming to town tomorrow.

- Are you gonna
break up with him?

- I don't know.

[dramatic music]

- I really appreciate
you doing this.

If you weren't with me,

I can't imagine how I'd handle

whether or not Tara is
breaking up with Joshua.

Joshua--what is he?

Lord of the Kingdom
of Dicken-stein,

reigning over his subjects from
high atop Douche Mountain?

Anyway, thanks for being here.

Aside from Tara, you're the most
important woman

in my entire life.

- Oh, my God, Louis.

Mudding is...

amazing.

I actually just fell asleep
for the last half hour.

- Goddamn it, Donna.

I didn't bring you here
so you could fall asleep

while I'm pouring my heart out.

You're the most selfish
woman I ever met.

- I thought you just told me
I was the most important

non-Tara woman in your life.

- Wait a second.
I thought you just fell asleep.

- And for the last
thirty seconds,

have you been mad at me
or upset about Joshua?

- Holy shit, you're a genius.

- Which is why when we get
back to the office,

you're reconciling everyone's
billings for the last six weeks.

- Oh, Donna, that is
the worst form of torture

I can go through.

- No, Louis, the worst
form of torture

is what you'll do if you
don't have something

to occupy your mind.

- Oh, my God, you're right.

I don't care what the cost

or that I'm entirely naked
underneath this mud.

I'm getting us another hour.

- Louis, you are not moving
another centimeter

until Renaldo comes back in here

and puts that privacy curtain
back up.

[dramatic music]

- Oh, look who's here.

I'm not supposed to get out
till this afternoon,

but leave it to you to--

- Mike, sit down.

- Okay.

What's going on?

- Cahill called and said there
was a problem with your release.

It's not a big deal, but it's
just gonna take a little longer.

- How much longer?
- A few days.

- Harvey, I informed on someone.

If word gets out about that--

- You think I don't know that?

But he pulled your deal
then reinstated it.

It's gonna take a little time.

- Well, what the hell am I
supposed to do in the meantime?

- Sit tight, and keep
your wits about you.

You made it this long.

You can make it a few more days.

- Does Rachel know about this?

- Look, she didn't know it was
gonna take this long

in the first place,

and I didn't see the need
to tell her now.

- Do me a favor, and let's
keep it that way.

♪ ♪

- Rachel, good morning.

I was looking for you before.

I wanted to say congratulations
on getting Mike out.

- I appreciate that.

But we have some
other good news.

We may be on our way to getting
Leonard Bailey out too.

- Did you figure out a way
to reopen the trial?

- I did.

- Rachel, this is good
in theory,

but there's no precedent.

- Yes, there is.

Turner versus
the State of Michigan.

- How the hell did
you find that?

- It turns out being
a paralegal for so long

was a blessing in disguise,

because nobody is better
at research than me.

- Great. Write up a declaration,

and get it to me
as soon as you're done.

And I'll get this thing rolling.

- Jessica, I thought I'd
be the one to do it.

- Rachel, you're not
a lawyer yet.

- I don't need to be.

She's his public defender.
She'll do this for us.

- Listen to me--sometimes things
don't go exactly as planned.

And nobody is better
at research than you,

but nobody is better at dropping
the hammer than me.

- Listen to me, I'm gonna ask
you a question,

and I need to know the truth.

You know about this Cahill shit?

- What Cahill shit?

- Apparently Sutter wasn't
enough for that asshole,

because he's been seizing
our assets left and right.

- You really think they
were gonna let her

keep direct proceeds
from insider trading?

- I'm not talking
about direct proceeds.

I'm talking about
everything we have.

- What?
- Yeah,

including money she earned

before she ever got wrapped up
in that bullshit.

- They can't do that.

- Well, they're doing it.

And I don't care whether
you do something about it

from in here or when
you get out there,

but you're the one who convinced
us to take this deal, Mike,

so you better damn well
be the one to stop it.

- Hey, Counselor.

You didn't forget about me,
did you?

- Your hearing's
tomorrow at 2:00.

I sent you the paperwork.

- Right under the wire.

Cutting it close, huh?

- I said I'd get it done,
and it's done, Gallo.

Now I'm leaving.
- So soon?

I thought you might want
to meet and chat strategy.

- My strategy is for you to get
your parole tomorrow

and then burn your existence
from my brain.

- I don't think I like the way
you just spoke

to your own client, Harvey.

You better come through.

- I'll come through, Gallo,

but you better remember
your part of the deal.

- What, protecting Mike?

What does Mike need protecting
for if I'm cool with him?

- Save your bullshit.

I know you know
Mike was informing.

- Yeah, I also know William
Sutter's going away,

which means Mike's getting out.

- Well, he's not out yet,

so while you're both
still in there,

you don't take your
eyes off him.

- I'm nothing if not
a man of my word.

Oh, and Harvey,
I don't want to stand

of the parole board
wearing this,

so bring me something
nice to wear.

I was a 38 slim
when I came in.

Now I'm more like a 40 reg.

I'll leave it up to you;
you're the dandy.

♪ ♪

- This is Sean Cahill.

- Well, Sean, this is Mike Ross.

- What can I do for you, Mike?

- You can tell me why the hell
you're going after

Jill Miller's assets.

- I'm sorry, I wasn't aware
you were her accountant.

- Well, if you don't back off,

I'm about to become
her goddamn lawyer.

- Excuse me?
- That wasn't part of her deal.

- No, it wasn't, but I'm not
gonna let her keep

her money she made
committing a crime.

- You're not just taking money
she made from a crime.

You're taking
the salary she made

from working at that company
for years.

- Listen, that woman got out
of going to prison.

But every time they took
a position,

they sold the other side

to people who lost everything.

And I'll be damned if I
let her live high on the hog

while working people's
lives were ruined.

- Sean, I know about
your mother and Spain.

But Jill Miller didn't
take her money.

- I don't care.

I have the power to do this.

And this conversation is over.

[somber music]

♪ ♪

- Jessica Pierson.

My secretary should've told you
I'm not taking new clients.

- I take it you know
why I'm here.

- I tried to be polite when your
protégé accused me

of not doing my job
with Leonard Bailey.

But I'm not gonna be told by
someone who harbored a fraud

what a bad lawyer I am.

- I don't think you're
a bad lawyer, Georgina.

I think you're a good lawyer
that made a mistake.

And I'm here to give you
a chance to fix it.

- And how's that?

- Leonard Bailey's
alibi witness is dead.

That doesn't mean
her testimony is.

- You want me to testify
to what she told me?

That would be hearsay.

- It would be if she were alive.

But now that she's dead...

- She's an unavailable
declarant.

- Like I said,
you are a good lawyer.

- And I'm not pretending I let
a solid witness disappear

when that girl was a junkie

and her story was
inconsistent at best.

- And it still should've been
presented to a jury,

which is what we're
trying to fix.

- The only thing you're trying
to fix is your reputation.

And you're not doing it
by smearing mine.

- Georgina, a man's life
is on the line.

- And I did my best
to defend it,

but I have no obligation
to do it again.

- That's where you're wrong.

My protégé took the liberty of
drawing up a sworn affidavit

which states Maria Gomez
told you

Leonard Bailey couldn't have
murdered that couple

because he was with
her at the time.

Now you can either sign it,

or you lie under oath
that this isn't true.

And believe you me, you do not
want to be on that stand

lying to a jury
and have to face me.

[dramatic music]

♪ ♪

- Donna, cancel all
my meetings tomorrow,

and notify the parole board
that Gallo's ready.

- Harvey--
- I don't want to hear it.

- Listen to me.

I was there with you
when you put him away,

and I wouldn't be able
to live with myself

if I didn't remind you what you
said about him at the time.

- I don't need reminding.

- You said he was a sociopath

who took pleasure
from hurting people.

- Donna, I don't have a choice.

- That was before you knew
that Mike was getting out.

If you just string him along
for a couple more hours--

- Mike's not getting out today.

- What?

- Cahill called me.

The deal's gonna take a few
more days to go through.

And if Gallo even thinks that
I'm stringing him along,

Mike may never get out
of there at all.

- I'll clear your schedule.

- Hey, I need to talk to you.

- Before you do, I just
want to say

I didn't mean to put it
all on you earlier.

- No, that doesn't matter now.
Listen.

You said that when
you got arrested,

you turned down a deal
to turn on Sutter.

I need to know exactly
what they said.

- I don't understand what
that has to do with Jill.

- It doesn't.

It has to do with the fact that

I'm trying to get
you out of here.

- What?

- I might not be able
to do anything

about the money,
but maybe what I can do

is make it so that you
can be with your family.

- No.

- What do you mean, no?
- No.

They're already going
after our money.

I don't want to do anything

that's gonna mess
with Jill's deal.

- Listen to me.
That deal is as solid as a rock.

I wrote it myself;
they can't take it away from her

any more than they can take
my deal away from me.

But you need to tell me exactly
what Cahill said to you

when he told you
to turn on Sutter.

- Nothing.
He never said anything to me.

- What are you talking about?

- I'm telling you
I've never spoken

to Sean Cahill in my life.

♪ ♪

- All right, I'm here.

But I gave you seven days
to find that witness,

and then you went
behind my back,

so you better have a good reason
why you're in here

asking to reopen this case.

- We do, Your Honor.
We found Leonard Bailey's alibi.

- What they found is
nothing but hearsay.

- What is he talking about?

- He's talking about the fact
that our eyewitness

died three years ago,

and Mr. Bailey's
original attorney

is going to testify
on her behalf

under the Turner v. Michigan
exception to the hearsay rule.

- That exception involved
a written statement.

- It is a written statement,
and we have it right here.

- That is not
a written statement.

That is a bullshit affidavit she
cobbled together this morning.

- What did you just
accuse her of?

- I'm sorry, Your Honor, but I
find it decidedly convenient

that they don't have
the witness statement

written down on a notebook
or a scrap of paper

from the same decade
that it happened.

- Well, we happen to find it
decidedly inconvenient.

- And Georgina Casey didn't
write it down at the time

because she didn't do
an adequate job

representing her client.

- Are you now saying that this
case needs to be reopened

based on Leonard Bailey having
inadequate representation?

Because that is a serious
allegation to make

about a fellow attorney.

- That wasn't our plan.

But if that's what it takes
to give this man a chance

to prove his innocence,

then it sure as hell
is our plan now.

- This is ridiculous.

- It may sound ridiculous,
but if they were able to get

a successful attorney to admit
to a huge blunder,

then I'm ruling that this case
should be reopened after all.

you doing here?

- You know what I'm doing here.

Are you out of your goddamn mind

representing Frank Gallo?

- No, you listen to me.

That guy was a murdering
piece of shit

who should've been
put away for life,

and now you're trying
to get him out?

- He's in there with Mike Ross.

- I don't care.

- Well, I do, because
like you just said,

he is a murdering piece of shit.

But what you don't know is,
I made a deal with him,

and I'm not gonna break it.

- Then I will.
- It's not up to you.

- Well, it will be

when I play this for
the parole board.

- What is that?

- It's the tape we had
of him admitting

that he murdered that man
that you shit the bed with

and got excluded from evidence.

- I didn't shit the bed with
anything, and you know it.

You try to bring that bullshit
to his hearing,

I'll march you out of there
before you get to hit play,

'cause it wasn't
admissible in court,

and it's not admissible there.

- You tell yourself
whatever you want,

but I'm gonna do whatever
I need to do

to keep that bastard
behind bars.

.

- Talk to you a second?

- Of course.

- You were right.

The whole time I was working,

I didn't worry about what
Tara was doing with...

him, which meant the first
time in my life,

I finished the billables
in record time.

- And now you're
afraid to go home.

- I can't help wondering
what's happening.

- Louis, have you ever
heard of a jack story?

- No.
- Well, it's time you did.

A man gets a flat tire
on a country road.

He sees a house in the distance.

He walks up to the house,
and along the way,

he starts thinking, "What if
they don't have a jack?

"What if they have a jack,

"but they want to charge me
for it, and if they do,

"how much would they charge?

$100, $200, $1,000?"

- That's bullshit.
- Exactly.

So by the time the man
gets to the house,

rings the bell, and they
answer the door,

he tells them, "You know what?

Keep your goddamn jack."

- That's brilliant.
- So you get my point.

- No.

- Louis, you have no idea
what's going on in Tara's mind,

so the best thing you can do
is trust her.

Because if you don't,
I'm telling you,

you're gonna do something
that you'll regret

for the rest of your life.

- All right, Donna.

I'll wait for Tara to call.

- Okay.

- Can I help you?

- Help me what, rat?

- What did you just say?

- I said you ratted
on your own roommate.

Word's spreading, and there's
going to come a time when

you need my protection,
and I won't be there.

- Hey, what's going on here?

- Nothing.

- It's not nothing.
You were threatening him.

You ever do it again
without my say so,

you'll regret the day
you met me.

- Sorry, Frank.

- Don't worry about it, kid.
I got your back.

- No, you don't.

Everyone knows guards
are the last one

to find out anything.

So if word were spreading,

I wouldn't be finding out
about it from him.

He just did that because
you told him to,

because you want to remind me
of what's gonna happen

if Harvey lets you down.

- Well, then, I guess you got
the message loud and clear.

Good luck to me on my
hearing tomorrow.

doing here?

- You let me worry about him.

- Mr. Specter, please proceed.

- Ladies and gentlemen
of the board,

Mr. Gallo has served 12 years

as an exemplary inmate.

We ask that you release him so
he can continue to live his life

outside these walls.

But before you decide on that,

we think it's best if you
hear from him in his own words.

- You son of a bitch,
what the hell is this?

- It's an action on behalf
of my client, Kevin Miller.

You abused your power when you
went after him last year.

- I didn't abuse shit.

- I beg to differ.

'Cause not only does Kevin
live in New Jersey,

but his accident was there too,

were means you were outside
of your jurisdiction.

- You better rescind this suit,
because if they come after me--

- They're not gonna come after
you, Sean, because I haven't

filed it yet.

And I'm not going to, as long as
you agree to get Kevin out.

- [laughing] Are you crazy?

I'm not gonna do that.
- Why not?

- 'Cause I'm not gonna
get held hostage

by the likes of you.

- I guess what I'm
trying to say is,

I'm not denying
the person I was

or the things I did,

because I did those things.

If I could go back
and change what I did,

I would, but I can't.

What I can do is swear to you

that I will never go back
to being that person again.

- You crossed the line when
you took Jill's money.

- No, Mike, I didn't,
but I'm about to cross it now.

You want to see abuse of power?
Your deal is gone.

- If there are no
other statements--

- Matter of fact, I would, uh,
like to say a few words.

- And you are?
- Cameron Dennis.

I was the district attorney at
the time of Mr. Gallo's trial.

- Mr. Chairman, Mr. Dennis
is about to play a tape

from the original trial.

It wasn't admissible then,

and it's not admissible now.

- No, Harvey, I'm going
to read the transcript

of your own words from
Mr. Gallo's sentencing hearing.

"Frank Gallo is the scum
of the Earth.

"He's a sociopath
who has no remorse

"for the things he's done,
and he is an animal

who deserves to be locked up for
the rest of his miserable life."

- I gave you immunity
for crimes you committed

before you got caught.

But your plea agreement says
you'll never practice law again

without a license.

You've been practicing
law in here,

which means that's a crime

that happened after
you got caught.

- Bullshit.

Kevin and Jill both know
that I'm not a lawyer.

- You know that
and I know that,

but if you fight it,
I will argue it in court

for the next two years.

And if you don't
drop this thing, you'll be lucky

if they let you out a day before

you were supposed
to get out anyway.

- Mr. Chairman,
I'm telling you,

Frank Gallo has changed.

- And I'm telling the board
he hasn't changed.

He's just trying
to blackmail you.

- That's a lie.

- Then take the stand
and swear it's not true.

- That's enough.

Mr. Specter, this is a parole
hearing, not a court of law,

but if there's any truth
to what he's saying,

we need to know.

- It's not true.

- Unfortunately, this body
doesn't have the authority

to swear you in,
but I'm going to make sure

that we will tomorrow.

I'd like you to think
long and hard about

what you're gonna say then,

because you'll be
saying it under oath.

.

- Mike, I need to tell you
what just happened.

- I need to tell you
what happened first.

- Abuse of power?
Are you nuts?

- It's the only play I have.

- Your only play is
to walk out of here

when your release comes through,

not threaten the guy
who made that happen.

- Listen to me.

Cahill is seizing
their personal assets.

- Yeah, I don't care if he
takes their house apart

brick by brick.

- Harvey, Kevin wouldn't even
be in here in the first place

if it weren't for Cahill.

- No, Mike, Kevin wouldn't
be here if he had chosen

to roll over on Sutter
in the first place.

And it's a good thing he didn't,

because you'd be stuck in here
with Gallo

for the next two years.

- I don't care about Gallo.

- Well, you should,
because he's not out yet,

and if it's up
to Cameron Dennis,

he's not getting out.

- What?

- Cameron got wind that I'm
trying to get Gallo parole.

And now I got to think
of something

or perjure myself tomorrow,

or he's gonna end up
right back in here.

- Well, that's even more reason
why we can't leave Kevin behind.

If Gallo doesn't get out
and I do,

the first person he's gonna
go after is Kevin.

And I didn't sign on
to get someone killed.

- No, you signed on
to get yourself out.

Now if you don't drop this suit,

Cahill's gonna threaten
to pull your deal.

[tense music]

What?

- He already did.

- Then why are we still
having this conversation?

- 'Cause like I said,
this is the only card

I have left to play.

So if you want me
to drop this,

you get Cahill to do the right
thing and get Kevin out.

I just wanted to get the place
ready for when Mike gets home.

- Then I won't take up

They offered Leonard Bailey
a deal.

- How long?
- Seven years.

But I can probably get them
down to five.

- Five more years for a crime
he didn't commit

doesn't seem really fair.

- And losing a retrial
and dying in prison

doesn't seem fair either.

- But we're not gonna lose.
- That's not true.

There's a good chance we will.

Juries are unpredictable.

convicted before.

This is a chance at getting
his life back.

are we talking about?

He's still going to be seen
as a murderer

even by the closest thing
he has to a mother.

- I'm not gonna let him die
for a crime he didn't commit.

die either.

I want to fight

Mike out in the first place.

Now Mike's been playing
chicken with them,

You want me to perjure myself

so you can put this
monster on the street

because your sidekick wants
to fight The Man?

- Don't play that shit with me.

You've been crossing
lines for years,

to put guys like Gallo away,

with a Polaroid

is gonna keep him from
murdering somebody else.

was gonna be murdering was me?

me to trust him,

he told me that he had been
