Mike deals with the blow back on his prison case; Harvey tries to tell Donna about his relationship with Paula. Louis past behavior comes back to haunt him.

Previously on
"Suits"

When you work here,
you don't think about home

- and families and babies.
- That's not fair.

He couldn't have known he was
gonna have a baby a year...

Let me tell you something,
Stephanie.

Maybe you don't know
how babies are made,

because when people are trying,
they know they're trying!

And just because no one ever
wants to try with you

doesn't give you the right

to tell me
how to run my associates!

I got an offer for more money
than I'll see my whole life,



and you want me to turn it down
based on a feeling

that whatever happened to Chris
happened to other people?

You're dating your therapist.

I don't need a lecture
from you, Louis.

Does Donna have any idea
about the two of you?

No, she doesn't,

and for right now,
I'd like to keep it that way.

Harvey, is there something
that you're not telling me?

‘Cause it seems like you've been
different lately.

We win this, you're gonna be
Andy Dufresne

sitting on a beach in Mexico

with a bank account
full of cash.

I already make
a nice living in here.

I was thinking
maybe some of that money



might go to your daughter.

I wasn't lying about working
a case with Oliver.

I just didn't tell you
which one.

- The prison one?
- Yeah.

- This is a fireable offense.
- Harvey isn't gonna fire me.

Yeah, but maybe he should.
What is your word worth?

The way things are going,
it's not gonna be worth very much.

♪♪ Dramatic music...

Hey.

Hey.

How long have you been up?

A while.

I've been thinking about what
you said to me last night.

Mike, I didn't mean
to be so harsh.

No, you were right.

My word does mean
everything to me...

which is why I'm gonna keep
helping Oliver.

What?

When I gave my word
to Harvey, I meant it.

But before that, I gave
my word to Oscar Reyes.

And I'm sorry,
but I-I can't back out now.

Okay.

So you're just gonna live
your life keeping secrets again?

- This isn't like that.
- How is it not like that?

You're keeping this from Harvey.

And Harvey kept things
from Jessica.

Look at how that turned out.

I tell Harvey now, and it's
the same as if he catches me.

The case gets tossed,
and all of the people

we're trying to help
keep getting abused.

It's the same as before.

No, Rachel, this is not
the same as when I was a fraud.

And I'll tell you
something else...

I used to have trouble
sleeping at night,

but I sleep like a baby now

because I am helping
these people.

I'm sorry, but that's
the word that I'm keeping.

Good morning.

Hey.
Did you sleep well?

If you consider eight hours
of bliss sleeping well,

then, yes, I slept very well.

But now I have to go.

- Wait.
- Harvey, I have patients.

I know, but... I wanted to get
your opinion on something.

What have you done this time?

I haven't told Donna
we're seeing each other yet.

Why not?

Come on, you know
my history with her.

We're working together.
I just promoted her.

That's more an excuse
than a reason, isn't it?

I don't want to create
a problem when there isn't one.

And who says
there has to be one?

There doesn't
have to be one, but...

Harvey, first of all,
you may be underestimating her.

I mean, Donna's a big girl.
Paula...

And second of all,
if I'm wrong

and you're not
underestimating her,

then... you're only gonna
cause both of you

a lot more trouble down
the road when she finds out.

‘Cause, Harvey,
she is gonna find out.

So you're telling me
to tell her?

You already know
what you need to do.

You just asked me
because sometimes we need

to hear it from someone else.

♪♪

♪♪

They didn't tell me
you brought a sidekick.

Frank, this is Oliver Grady.

He's the one
that's trying the case.

Good for him.

I still don't know
what you're doing back here.

I already told you
everything I know.

Not everything. It's time you
gave us the name of your source.

Uh-uh.

The deal is that money
goes into my daughter's account,

then you get the name.

What the hell is this?
It's a down payment.

Down payment?
I don't think so.

I want the whole thing.
And if you think

we're giving you half a million
without a name,

then you're out of your mind.

Then we are at what
they call an impasse,

because I'm not giving you
that name without that money.

And there isn't
gonna be any money

if the judge
dismisses this case.

What the hell
is he talking about?

He's talking about the fact
that the other side

filed a motion
to dismiss this thing.

Goes to court tomorrow.

If you don't give me
the name of your source,

- it's gonna get tossed.
- Bullshit it's gonna get tossed.

I already admitted to you
I took part in it.

It's not enough.

Why is that not enough?
You got my word.

We got no corroboration
of your word.

What's to say you didn't
make up this whole thing

when I came in here?

Then go to
the goddamn prosecutor

I went to seven years ago.

She's got it all on record.

I thought she didn't
pursue this case.

Then you didn't hear me right.

She pursued it. She just
didn't want to see it through.

Ask her if I'm telling
the truth.

In the meantime,
keep your pocket change,

‘cause you're not getting
shit from me.

Title: "Home to Roost"

♪ The greenback boogie ♪

Hey, buddy.

Louis, I was just
making a cup of coffee.

I'm not taking
any time off, I swear.

Whoa, Brian, it's okay to
take a break every now and then.

- It is?
- Yeah, absolutely.

In fact, coffee preparation
is very important.

Yeah. Actually, making coffee
is one of my favorite hobb...

That's great. Listen to me,
I need to ask you something.

The other day when
I said those things to you

about taking time off,
I mean, I don't even know

- if you remember it.
- Like it was yesterday.

Well, in that case
I was just wondering...

how bad was I?

You weren't that bad.

Good.

Now, would you be willing
to swear to that in court?

- What? Why?
- No reason.

Truth is, my recollection is
exactly the same as yours.

You asked for a couple days off,
and I gave it to you.

See, I even wrote it
in my diary.

“Gave Brian two days off.
Felt good about it.”

It looks like you just
wrote that today.

- What makes you say that?
- It has today's date on top.

I just wrote that down to
remember today's conversation.

Can I go back to work now?

Yep, just make sure you have
the affidavit on my desk

as soon as possible.

Thanks for seeing us on such
short notice, Ms. Randolph.

I have to say, when I heard
the name Frank Gallo,

my interest was piqued.
What's this about?

We're representing
a class of prisoners

suing Reform Corporation
for abusive practices.

We're here to confirm that
Frank Gallo came to see you

seven years ago and admitted to
being involved in a conspiracy.

Yeah, he came to me offering
to be an informant

in exchange for protection from
what was going on in Lambert.

And did you believe
what he told you?

Of course I believed him.
He was beaten up,

and he'd been in the infirmary
for two goddamn weeks.

Well, if you believed him,

why the hell didn't you
pursue the case?

I did pursue it.
I ran it up the flagpole,

and it came back down
like a concrete block.

No one gives a shit
about prisoners

or the way they're treated.

So, instead, he offered to
inform on his fellow inmates,

and then he used that to get
himself transferred.

Exactly.
Now, if you don't mind.

Well, Danielle,
in fact, I do mind.

You see, I do give a shit
about how prisoners are treated,

which means you
are gonna tell the court

exactly what you just told us.

Did you not hear
what I just said?

It came back down on me
like a concrete block.

This is my career. I...

I am not gonna go on record
and jeopardize it.

Well, then this is gonna
go one of two ways.

You give us your records,
and we submit them quietly...

Or we subpoena your records

under the Freedom
of Information Act

and put you on the stand.

And seeing as you're afraid
of ruining your career,

I suggest you go with option A.

♪♪ Dramatic music...

You're a couple
of little shits.

Good, you're here.

Listen, there's something
I've been wanting

to talk to you about.

- Harvey, it's gonna have to wait.
- Donna, it's important.

Frank Gallo left a message
for you a few minutes ago.

- What did he say?
- He said you and Mike

better not be trying
to screw him over again,

or you're gonna regret it.

Harvey, what's he talking about?

I don't know, but I'm sure
as hell gonna find out.

♪♪

What the hell are you
doing with Frank Gallo?

Harvey...

Don't pretend
like you don't know.

He just left me a message
asking me to make sure

that you don't fu... him over.

I told you, I'm working on a
Brooklyn Housing Authority case.

Gallo is from Brooklyn.
He knows people.

And don't tell me he's making
you pay for his information.

Yes, he is,
and I'm gonna pay him.

Mike, odds are
he doesn't know jack shit

and he's just using you
to get money.

No, I looked into it,
all right?

What he told me checks out. He's
on the right side of this thing.

You're telling me he's
all of a sudden Mother Teresa?

- This guy tried to kill you!
- I know that.

Look,
I'm not saying he's a saint.

I'm saying that I know
what I'm doing.

Don't you get it?

A guy like Gallo finds people
to get revenge on.

He thinks about it
and thinks about it,

and the only way to survive that

is to stay out of his mind
and let him find someone else.

Maybe you're right,
but I already promised him

something for his information,
and if I back out of that now,

I'm gonna end up
on the top of his list.

Does Rachel know about this?

♪♪

- No.
- Then you better hope

Gallo doesn't leave
her a message

the same way he left me one.

♪♪

♪♪

Staring out the window, Louis?

That's a sign that
something's going on.

Nothing's going on, Rachel.

Then why exactly
did you make Brian Altman

relive that horrible day?

- Which horrible day?
- The one where you

treated him like shit because
you were losing your mind.

That day.

You want to know
what's going on?

I'm being sued.
That's what's going on.

- By Brian?
- No, by Stephanie.

For sexual harassment?
Louis, this is bad.

- I know what it is, Rachel.
- Well, then we need to talk

about how
you're gonna handle it.

No, we need to talk about
how you're gonna handle it.

Louis, that's not a good idea.

It's the only good idea.

You need to go over there right
now and put an end to this.

- I can't do that.
- Why not?

Because I had a run-in
with Stephanie after you did,

and then I had another run-in
with her after Donna fired her.

She's not gonna listen to me.

It is sexual harassment,
Rachel.

I cannot have it on my record.

Someone needs to convince her
to let this go,

and it needs to be
a lawyer I can trust,

but it also needs to be someone
who's close to her level,

or she's gonna feel attacked.

Then I think I have
the perfect choice.

Katrina.

I take it Louis got my lawsuit.

He did, and I'm here to ask
why you're bringing it now.

Because the things
you're alleging he said...

Alleging he said?

Wow. I guess it's lawyer first,
friend second.

That's not fair. I'm only
here because we're friends.

And because you wanted
to convince me to forget

that Pearson Specter Litt
ruined my career.

Stephanie,
I know you got fired,

but... this lawsuit
could destroy Louis.

Let me get this straight.

The woman who convinced me
to leave a good job

for one where I was
treated terribly,

sexually harassed,
and then fired

is now asking me
for a personal favor?

Yes, I am.

♪♪

Well, I'm not in the mood
to grant one.

So you can tell Louis
I will see him in court.

Stephanie, the woman I knew

at Rand Kaldor Zane
wouldn't do this.

Please...

tell me what's going on
so I can help.

♪♪

I heard people here talking,

and they said that I got fired
because I couldn't hack it.

Well, that's not true,

and I won't have them
thinking it is.

Then close that door
and sit down,

because I'm betting that
we can work out a deal

right now
that shows anyone

who's ever underestimated you
just how strong you are.

Alex, have you seen Donna
by any chance?

- What?
- Donna. Have you seen her?

I need to tell her something.
I don't know, Harvey.

I don't have time to track
your former secretary's

every damn move.

What the hell's
wrong with you?

I'll tell you
what's wrong with me.

Masterson Construction's
pissed about this prison case.

Still? You handed it off
like they asked.

No, they wanted the thing
gone, not handed off,

and now it's turned
into a class action,

and it's going
to trial tomorrow.

Listen to me, it's not your
job to make this thing go away.

Harvey, I'm their attorney.
They had a problem,

they wanted it fixed,
and I didn't fix it.

Bullshit, you got
Pearson Specter to drop it

like a hot potato.
That's all you could've done.

No, what I could have done
was kill the whole damn thing.

And since I didn't, they found
some inmate at another prison

to break the case wide open,

which is why I just had
to eat a ton of shit.

- What did you just say?
- I said they found a witness

at another prison, and now I'm
gonna lost my goddamn client.

Where you going?

Like I said,
I need to find Donna.

♪♪

I want to know right now,
do you know where Mike is?

- No, I don't.
- You don't know where,

or you don't know
what case he's working on?

I don't know either one,
but if you calm down,

then maybe I can help you
find him.

No, Rachel, I don't want
help finding him

In fact, I don't want you
telling him

I was looking for him at all.

♪♪

- Oscar Reyes?
- Yes.

My name is Harvey Specter.
It's come to my attention

that you're filing
a class-action lawsuit.

We are.
How can I help you?

Our pro bono work
means a lot to us.

We take it very seriously,

and I have a very difficult
question to ask you.

- What is it?
- I need to know

if you're happy with the way
your case is being handled,

because if Mike Ross
isn't doing everything he can

to help you...
Stop right there.

Mr. Ross has dedicated himself

to finding justice for my son.

And not only that,
when I was offered a settlement,

he convinced me to turn it down
and find out the real truth,

so you tell whoever's in charge
that I don't want anyone else

working on this case
other than Mike and Oliver.

Thank you.

♪♪ Dramatic music...

You gave me your word
you'd stay the hell

out of that prison case.

- Harvey, I...
- You're gonna stand there

and tell me
you're not working on it?

Because Oscar Reyes
told me you deserve a medal

for what you're doing for him.

Harvey, I meant to let
the clinic handle it, okay?

It just turned out
that this thing

was bigger than we thought.
I don't give a shit

if it turned into
the trial of the century.

We had an agreement.

No, you had an agreement
with Alex,

and then I agreed
to sign a document,

but as it turns out,
stopping corruption

is more important to me
than some client's bottom line.

Then grow the hell up,
because that ends now.

Harvey, I have
to see this through.

See this through?
Are you out of your mind?

You think I don't know this is
what Gallo was helping you with?

I told you, Gallo is not
gonna be a problem.

And I told you guys like Gallo
are always a problem.

Yeah, and what about
what I told you happens

if I go back on my word
with him now?

Or what you said about what
happens if he calls Rachel.

Were you lying
when you said you'd pay him

- if he came through for you?
- No, I wasn't.

Then pay him right now.

You can take it out of my
pocket, but you're done.

- Harvey, it's not...
- No, listen to me because

I don't want there to be
any misunderstanding.

You spend one more minute
on this case,

other than telling
Oliver it's his,

- I'm shutting you down.
- What the hell does that mean?

It means I'm going
to the hearing tomorrow

and telling them that
you broke your agreement.

And I don't care
who the judge is,

they'll toss the clinic
off the case,

and your friend Oscar
won't get a dime.

♪♪

Louis, stop blending!
I have news.

Katrina,
thank God you're back.

Here, have a prunie.

Exactly how many prunies
did you make?

I don't know.
I'm stress blending.

If I don't hear
some good news soon,

there's gonna be
an international prune shortage.

So please tell me
that you talked Stephanie

out of this bullshit.

Louis, I couldn't
talk her out of it,

but I did manage to
talk her into this.

Okay, well, I can live
with this amount.

But this says that I admit
to sexually harassing her.

- You did sexually harass her.
- Oh, that's a load of crap.

I never hit on Stephanie Patel.

And that's not the definition
of harassment, and you know it.

Well, I don't care.
I can't accept it.

- Why not?
- Because I've been sued

for sexual harassment before,
and I can't have it look

like a pattern.

I didn't know.

It was before your time,
and it was a bullshit suit

concocted by Daniel Hardman.

I can't have
a reputation for this.

I understand that, Louis,
but Stephanie is worried

people think
she can't hack it as a lawyer,

and making you admit
to what you did

is the only way she sees
to make them think otherwise.

I'm sorry.
I can't sign it.

Louis, I know
this isn't what you wanted,

but in my professional opinion,

this is the best
you're going to do.

At least take a day
to think about it.

And, Louis,
this goes without saying,

but however tempted you are,
don't go see Stephanie.

He didn't tell me anything.

He asked me where you were

put in that position again.

So it's up to you.

at the clinic or you stay
at Pearson Specter,

I'm sorry.

Does this have something
to do with how it went

when you told Donna about us?

What? No.

I didn't even get
a chance to tell her.

Well, what does that mean,
you didn't get the chance?

It means I went to tell her,
but something came up.

What exactly came up?

What does it matter
what came up?

Well, I'm just wondering
what was so important

that you couldn't find the time
to tell her the entire day.

Well, if you really
need to know,

a murderer turns out
to be working with Mike

on a case he swore to me
he wouldn't be working on.

I spent the entire day
trying to fix it.

And I thought
it was more important

than telling Donna
about my love life.

I'm sorry I asked.

Look, I didn't mean
to overreact.

I've just had a hell of a day,

and I'll tell her tomorrow,
I promise.

Harvey, you don't
need to promise me anything.

In fact, I'd like to stay
out of it entirely,

if you don't mind.

- Paula...
- No, it's fine.

Because, you know, I'm not
the one that brought it up.

And, frankly, I don't
like you behaving as though

I'm the one making you do this.

What's going on here?

What's going on here
is you're rather keen

on keeping our relationship
a secret from Donna...

when you clearly had
no trouble telling Louis.

Are you worried that
I have feelings for her?

Of course you have
feelings for her.

You started having panic attacks
after she left you.

We wouldn't even know
each other

if it weren't
for those feelings.

- Then what are you saying?
- I don't know.

Maybe you don't want to
tell her because you like being

the object of her
attention and affection,

and you're worried
this will change that.

Her attention and affection?

Would you like me
to say it, Harvey?

She loves you.

At least part of her does,

and maybe part of you likes it
and doesn't want it to stop.

And we wouldn't
even be discussing this

if you had the courage
to tell Donna the truth

and let her move on.
You know, for someone

who didn't want to be
involved in this anymore,

you sure have
a hell of a lot to say.

Then I'll say one more thing.

If what I'm saying is wrong,
then you won't have any trouble

telling Donna in the morning.

Why the hell not?

‘Cause Harvey found out.

Shit, are you...

that if I spent
another second on this case

that he'll pull the plug
on the whole damn thing.

helping me to prepare.

- Son of a bitch, Mike!

You know what happens to me!

It happened last time, and now
it's gonna happen tomorrow

because you're goddamn
hanging me out to dry!

You know what, Oliver?
I have had it up to here

with you blaming me
for every choice that you make.

You knew there would come
a time when you'd be up there

by yourself when you
agreed to take this case.

Now, last time we were
in this situation,

I coddled you all night, and you
still dropped the goddamn ball.

So, this time, we're gonna
prepare by me telling you

to stop acting like
a little boy,

start acting like a man,
and get the goddamn job done!

Because if you don't,
Oscar and those prisoners,

they're gonna be left
with nothing.

Stephanie.

What are you doing here?

I've been thinking

and I'm willing to sign
whatever you want.

I'm willing to pay
whatever you want.

I just... can't admit that I...

Did exactly what you did.

Too bad.

I'll make a jury
admit it for you.

No, Stephanie, the only thing
you're gonna prove is that

you're the pathetic loser

with someone who is way
out of your league!

What delusional reality
are you living in?

The one where I make it
crystal clear at trial

that you were fired for cause

and concocted this lawsuit
out of spite.

I didn't concoct

before midnight.

There's something
I need to tell you.

Harvey, what's going on?

I've been seeing Paula Agard.

And not as my therapist anymore.

We've been seeing each other.

What?
What do you mean what?

I'm just amused
that you think I didn't know.

Donna.

The day you made
managing partner,

you drove yourself to work,
not in the red car,

but in the black
Ferrari Daytona.

And on top of that,
you told me and Louis

that you had things
to take care of that night,

but I know your schedule,

and I know what happened
was you drove yourself

straight home from the office,
you changed into whatever outfit

you thought would impress
her the most,

and then you went right over
to her house,

and you swept her off her feet.

But you just asked me
the other night if something

was going on because
I've been acting different.

‘Cause I was trying
to get you to open up,

but you missed the signal,

so I figured I'd just keep on
waiting, and here you are,

more or less right on time.

- More or less?
- Well, I was giving you

until tomorrow, so you're
actually ahead of schedule.

Well, that was Paula's doing.

I'm happy for you, Harvey,
and I want to hear all about it,

but like I said,
I've got a ton of work to do,

and I want to get home
before midnight, so...

Go on, finish.
We'll talk later.

I'm glad you finally told me.

Thanks, Donna.
Me too.

Your Honor, this suit hinges
on the testimony

of a convicted felon,

not to mention the entire class
is made up of felons

looking for a chance
to stick it to the prisons

that did their duty
by incarcerating them.

Your Honor,
this case doesn't hinge

on the word of Frank Gallo.

It hinges on the word
of a U.S. Attorney

who had reason to suspect
abuses were taking place

at these supposedly
upstanding prisons.

Your Honor,
that file is inadmissible.

We weren't presented with it
during discovery.

Mr. Grady, if this
is some sort of end-around...

Your Honor,
if you'll look at the file,

you can see it was delivered
to me yesterday.

So, unless opposing counsel
feels the U.S. Attorney

was fabricating that date,
that file is admissible.

Ms. Sterling,
unless you have another reason

as to why this case
shouldn't move forward,

I'm inclined to allow it.

I have a compelling reason,
Your Honor.

- And who are you?
- My name is Alex Williams.

Your Honor, this man
has no standing in this case.

I beg to differ, because
I have a binding agreement

signing by his legal clinic
stating they would have

no outside help
from Pearson Specter Litt

on this case, yet they did.
You have no proof of that.

Then how about I put you
on the stand, swear you in,

- and ask you myself?
- There is no basis

for you doing that, there is
no precedent for you doing that,

and I'm not gonna get bullied
to getting up on the stand.

And for the record, Your Honor,
the court cannot make

any inferences based on me
choosing not to go up there.

Then how about I put
Mike Ross on the stand?

I notice he's sitting
right over there.

I don't have a subpoena for him,

but I'm sure we can whip one up.

And when he gets up there,

we'll see if he tells
the truth or not.

- Your Honor...
- That's enough.

Your Honor,
I violated the agreement.

Then I have no other choice
but to dismiss this case.

you to drop it.

one more second working on it,

My problem is he just
showed up to the courtroom

and blew up the case.

He embarrassed us,
he embarrassed me,

and he did it
in front of everyone.

The courtroom? I thought
you said you weren't involved.

I was sitting

you went from A to Z

would he know?

business how I knew.

No, no, this is

Wrong, this is
between me and you

agreement with my client.

I don't care what I did.
You didn't have to do that publicly.

I didn't make that decision.

- He's right.
- What?

Alex is right,
you gave him no choice.

God damn it, Harvey, that
prison is doing shady shit.

His client doesn't care because
all they care about is money.

And you knew that
when you handed it off

- and said you'd live by it.
