Suits (2011–…): Season 9, Episode 5 - If the Shoe Fits - full transcript
Samantha finds herself caught in the middle of a tricky situation when Mike picks a fight with Harvey.
Previously on "Suits"...
Rachel and I were offered
a chance to run a firm
in Seattle.
It's a place
that only takes cases
against Fortune 500 companies.
If you want to do more
pro bono cases...
That's not the point, Harvey.
This is who I am.
Harvey gave his clients
to Eric?
He did, but he still has one
more to give up,
- Brick Street Athletics.
- Why?
- He wanted to make a gesture.
- The dean of a law school.
There's no way
you'll be able to do both.
I want this job,
and I want a baby,
and I don't see
why I can't have both.
You betrayed me.
You betrayed this firm.
- I tried to hide it, I swear.
- Get the hell out of my firm.
- You are fired.
- No, he's not.
This shows an utter lack
of judgment,
and I'm not letting it stand.
I can't work here anymore.
- Brian, please don't do this.
- It's gonna be okay.
No, it's not.
If you want me gone,
convince me
you people can be trusted
to fly right.
And if we don't?
If you continue
to cross lines,
then you'll be fired.
What do you mean,
"you can't come over tonight"?
I got pizza.
I even got those stupid
yellow tomatoes that you like.
Harvey, something came up
last-minute.
An old friend called me
out of the blue.
Well, then,
why don't you come by later?
I could reheat the pizza.
It'll be 40% worse,
but it's okay.
Why do I get the feeling
that this isn't about pizza?
All right, look,
it's not something I advertise,
but I watch "Survivor."
- You watch "Survivor"?
- I do.
You shouldn't admit that.
It's an underrated show
but I love it,
and I was hoping
to get you into it.
Okay, then what do you say
I take a rain check?
All right,
but it's under protest.
- Who's this old friend, anyway?
- "Survivor"?
- What are you, 1,000?
- I get it.
The plans weren't for you,
they were for me.
Have a great time, Harvey.
You know, just because
she gave you a key
doesn't mean
you're staying here.
Why would I stay here?
I've got my old apartment
that you're pretending
to rent for me.
"Rick Sorkin"?
You've gone soft.
I was using it
as a tax shelter.
And what's the name
of that tax shelter?
"I'm A Softie"?
Maybe I've always been
a softie.
What happened to, uh,
"caring makes you weak"?
I think
you're confusing "caring"
with "moving to Seattle."
Speaking of Seattle,
don't you have some old ladies
looking to sue
the condo association,
or whatever big case
you've got going these days?
Yes, I do, but those ladies
are gonna have to wait,
because I always have time
for an old friend.
It's good to see you, Harvey.
Great to see you, Mike.
- Is that Gionno's?
- It is.
You like yellow tomatoes?
And should the slipper fit,
I will know thee
to be yon fair maiden who
so enchanted me at the ball.
But, my prince,
I am not worthy of you.
Not in these dirty clothes.
You're mistaken,
for it is your dirtiness
that so attracts me.
- Is something wrong, My Lord?
- No, my Lady.
It's just...
It's just... maybe if I...
Shit, it doesn't fit,
does it?
Of course it fits.
You're my princess.
No, I'm that fat step-sister.
What... Sheila, don't say that.
You're just retaining
a little extra water.
"Water"?
Louis, my foot's the size
of Wisconsin.
And no one's arguing that,
but once you have the baby
it will shrink right back down.
- No, it won't.
- What are you talking about?
Louis, if your feet grow
when you're pregnant,
they don't get smaller again.
But these were $9,000.
That's what you're
upset about?
Well, what the hell else
would I be upset about?
You know what, maybe I'm
the one who should be upset
because I'm fat and stupid
and just cost us a lot of money
and I can't do anything right!
Whoa, Sheila.
You do everything right.
- No, I don't.
- What's going on?
Okay, I tried
not to think about it,
but I spent an entire meeting
this morning
calling one of our most
important donors
the wrong name.
He pulled his donation.
$50,000.
Hey, hey.
It's okay.
- It's just one donor.
- No, it's not just one donor.
It's... it's everything!
And I'm so tired and so foggy.
Yeah,
because you're pregnant.
And if I can't do my job
when I'm pregnant,
why should anyone think
I'll be able to do it
when I have a baby?
Sheila, you are being
way too hard on yourself.
No, you just don't get it,
so just leave me alone!
Let me get this straight:
I tell Donna to kiss you,
she does, and then,
as a result,
you ask another woman
to move in with you.
It was
a complicated situation.
Must have been, because then
Donna starts dating a client,
breaks privilege for him,
and then you two
end up together.
Didn't we already
discuss this on the phone
like a month ago?
Yeah, well, if it had been
on FaceTime, I'd let it go,
but a real friend needs
to enjoy the shame in person.
Well, while you're
doing that, let's have it.
- Have what?
- Why you're really here.
'Cause I'm not buying
you showed up unannounced
without a reason.
If you really must know,
I'm here on business.
The business of begging
for your old job back?
Because it's too late.
We've replaced you.
Yeah, but do they have
a law degree?
Shit, I knew there was
something I forgot to check.
You see,
if you had my memory,
you wouldn't forget things
like that.
No, I'd just forget to lock
my briefcase full of weed.
- The lock was broken.
- Your brain is broken.
Come on, give it to me.
Who's the asshole
you're going up against?
Actually, I think
you know him pretty well.
His name is Harvey Sphincter.
- He plays it real tight.
- You gotta be kidding me.
A five hour flight and all you
came up with was "sphincter"?
I stand by sphincter.
But you want something better?
How about this.
I represent Jeremy Wall,
and he wants out of his
contract with Brick Street.
- Wait a second, "out"?
- Mm-hmm.
Jeremy's deal stipulates
they do no harm to his image,
and exploiting overseas workers
is textbook harm.
Exploiting its workers?
Where's he getting that idea?
He went on a goodwill trip.
He saw the factory himself.
Well, if you want me
to sell them on this,
he's gonna have to give them
their money back.
Oh, he's not giving back
a dime.
He's not walking for free.
I figured you might say that,
so I brought
a little incentive.
Breach of contract.
I see what this is.
You don't want me
to convince Brick Street.
You wanna take me on.
I take you on, kick your ass.
I mean, what's the difference?
Well, in that case,
why don't you
and Jeremy pop by tomorrow?
And by "pop by," I mean sit
for a deposition.
Are you sure?
You're not worried about losing
to a lawyer in his prime?
I hate to break it to you,
Mike, but I was in my prime
before you were born,
and I'll be in it
long after you're dead.
You know that doesn't
make sense, right?
It will
when you're in your prime.
Then I guess
I'll see you tomorrow.
Oh, and Harvey,
to, um, put this in a way
that you might understand,
if this ends up going
to a jury
like they do in "Survivor,"
I'll be the last man standing.
I knew he watched "Survivor."
Alex, just the man
I wanted to see.
Um...
you survived two pregnancies
with Rosalie, right?
Yes, I did.
Why?
How'd you do it?
Right now I can't
do anything right.
No matter what I say, no matter
what I do, it upsets her.
I've read every book
that I can get my hands on.
but none of them talk about...
Her being crazy.
Louis, why did you
whisper that?
I don't know.
What is so funny?
I'm thinking about
how fucked you are.
God damn it, Alex,
I have no one else to turn to.
Brian left,
if Harvey has children,
he doesn't know about them,
and if you think
I'm gonna ask my sister
you're out
of your goddamn mind.
All right, listen, the answer
to your problem is simple.
Just do nothing.
What are you talking about?
Whatever's upsetting her,
don't try to solve it.
Don't tell her
it's gonna be okay.
Just listen and do nothing.
Nothing.
- That's right, nothing.
- Not even...
- Nope.
- What about...
- Uh-uh.
- Surely I can...
Louis, the reason I was
laughing was because I know
you're incapable
of doing nothing,
so if you must do something...
and I don't recommend this...
just tell her you love her.
I tried that.
She threw a shoe in my face.
So you feel me now?
Yeah, I do.
Thank you, Alex.
I'm going to go ahead
and do nothing.
He's totally fucked.
- Good morning, Katrina.
- Donna, what can I do for you?
I want to thank you
for protecting my vote
with that code of conduct.
It was nothing.
It was something,
and I wanna return the favor.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about Brian.
Katrina, you haven't picked
a new associate
and you haven't seemed
like yourself lately,
and it makes me think
that you haven't moved on.
Well, I appreciate
your concern, but I have.
Well, how about you give him
a call right now?
See?
Even the thought of it
makes you uncomfortable.
Okay, you're right.
I haven't picked
a new associate.
And with everything
that's been going on,
you can hardly blame me
for not seeming like myself.
But as far as Brian goes,
I'm doing just fine.
I understand.
And if you change your mind
and you wanna talk about it,
I'm here.
Benjamin,
do you have a second?
Actually, Louis, I don't.
I'm a little busy right now.
Unless you want
to fire me again.
Okay, I get it.
You are still upset about that.
"Upset"?
You asked me to do something
shady for you,
and then when I got caught,
instead of standing up for me,
you fired me.
And on top of all of that,
you don't even show your face
until you need something,
which is obvious
by that greasy bag of
delicious bacon in your hand.
Well, bacon is not gonna solve
your problem this time, a-hole.
Benjamin, I know
I have not been here,
and all I can say
about that is, I am ashamed.
You wanna know how
to make that shame go away?
How about saying, "I was wrong
and I'm sorry"?
I was wrong, and I am sorry.
And I am not just saying that
because I need your help.
But you are saying it
when you need help.
I am.
And if you don't wanna help,
you don't have to.
But it's not for me,
it's for Sheila.
- Sheila?
- She lost a huge donor.
She feels horrible,
and the only way I can think
of making the mother
of my unborn child feel better
is to replace his contribution.
- How much?
- $50,000.
Okay, well,
if you are willing
to part with that much money
to make Sheila feel better,
I'll help.
What do you need?
I need you to run a proxy
through a financial institution
to create the appearance
of an anonymous donation
from a tax sheltered company.
All right,
I am doing this for Sheila
and I will require the bacon,
but that is
the most romantic thing
I've ever heard in my life.
Thank you.
Harvey?
Samantha, I was just gonna
come see you.
No, you weren't.
You know how I know that?
Because my new client...
the one you gave me...
was served with a lawsuit
at your condo last night
and you didn't
tell me about it.
You heard about
Brick Street already?
- Did you think I wouldn't?
- Sure, it's possible.
You sometimes box
in the mornings.
Harvey...
Samantha, I'm not trying
to take them back.
It's just a little complicated.
What exactly
is complicated about it?
Hey, Jeremy's here.
Ready to go do this deposition?
"Jeremy"?
Let me get this straight:
not only did you take my client
without telling me,
you scheduled a deposition
with the other side?
- Wait, her client?
- Mike, meet Samantha Wheeler.
I gave her Brick Street
about a month ago.
I might have forgotten
to mention that
to you last night.
Samantha, meet Mike Ross.
Mm, the protégé.
Okay, why did she just
say it like that?
If I had to take a guess,
it's because she thought
you'd be taller.
- I'm the same height as you.
- The lies we tell ourselves.
It's because
I'm less concerned
with meeting you
than kicking your ass
since I'm the one you're gonna
be going up against, not him.
- Hang on, I didn't agree...
- Harvey, if I may?
Look, Samantha, I get it.
I've been where you are
right now a hundred times.
It's so frustrating,
but I think we all know
Harvey's gonna
take this client back
whether you like it or not,
so you might as well
just let him do it.
That's about as naive
as hoping we'll let Jeremy Wall
out of his contract.
Well, this isn't
really about hope.
It's about Bridge Street
doing right by its workers.
And if you think
that sob story
is gonna work here,
you're wrong.
Sob stories
are his specialty.
I prefer to call it
"appealing
to a jury's humanity."
Well, I call it "bringing
a violin to a gun fight."
Well, we'll see
what you call it when I'm done.
Anyway, I'll give you two
a minute to discuss
who's gonna take the loss.
Your protégé is a douche.
Not gonna argue
with you there.
Then how about not arguing
over whose client this is?
Because I got a deposition
to get to.
You don't even know
this case.
I know the client,
I know the contract...
- And I know the man.
- You think I can't beat him?
Samantha, he used to be
my guy.
He travelled across the country
to pick a fight with me.
He's never gonna let me
live it down if I duck him.
Then we're doing this
together,
because this is my client.
I'm not just handing them
over to you.
Okay, but don't
underestimate him.
Whatever else Mike Ross is,
he's just as good
as you and me.
This is stupid.
You're over him,
and someone who is over someone
should be able to call them
as a friend.
Hey, you've reached
Brian Altman.
Please leave a message
and have a great day.
Hey, Brian.
Just calling because you came
up in conversation today.
Apropos of nothing.
We certainly weren't
talking about
how I'm still not over you.
Oh, sweet Lord,
I just made it worse.
What do I do?
What do I...
If you are satisfied
with your message,
please press one.
To rerecord, press two.
Thank God.
Hey, Brian.
It's your buddy.
Your friend
with a capital "F."
Your F-buddy.
Hi, Katrina, it's Brian.
Shit.
B-dawg, it's Kitty Kat.
What?
Who are you?
Nope.
Ass.
Damn it.
Ball sack!
Fuck.
Mother of pearl!
Just tell her you love me
and that it's over!
That felt good.
Hello, Brian.
Today you came up
in a work-related discussion,
and I wanted to see
if there were any bespoke files
you had not yet received.
Cordially, Katrina Bennett.
Mr. Wall,
you claim to have seen
objectionable
factory conditions.
I'm not claiming anything.
I... I saw them.
Those people are miserable.
And misery isn't a violation
of international law.
Are they violating
international law?
I don't know.
No, you don't, because
you're a basketball player.
You're not a lawyer.
That doesn't mean
I can't tell
when something's not right.
And when exactly
did you start thinking
something wasn't right?
When I visited that factory
six months ago.
And yet, you're only
bringing this up now?
Why?
Because, like, you said,
I'm a basketball player.
I... I didn't know what to do
or who to go to.
No, you were afraid
you wouldn't be paid
your full contract.
Don't talk to my client
like that.
And you can't speak
to his motivations.
I don't care
about his motivations.
What I want to know
is why he lied
about being contacted by
an activist named Charles Hu.
I didn't lie about anything.
You said you didn't care
about the conditions
until six months ago.
He wrote you 18 months ago.
Sounds like a lie to me.
That letter got me
a little concerned,
but I didn't take it seriously
until I saw
the conditions myself.
And what you need
to take seriously
is that you had one year
to blow the whistle,
and you are six months
too late.
Bullshit, that letter
was unsolicited.
It... it didn't trigger
his awareness.
He just said it did.
He used the word "concern."
This is a technicality.
No, Mike, it's the terms
of his contract.
I think this case
is getting dismissed.
So you really gonna do this?
Mike, it's there
in black and white.
I don't care
what's in black and white.
He found out
about the conditions
6 months ago, not 18.
It's not a violation.
Well, you're gonna have
to explain that to a judge.
And even if you're successful,
he'll be on record
saying he didn't give a shit
about those people
for an entire year.
Harvey, they're exploiting
these people and you know it.
What I know is,
you're the same old Mike
playing that violin
to get me to help you.
I might be the same old Mike,
but you are not
the same old Harvey.
- What'd you just say?
- You heard me.
That's why you did this now.
You know Faye's breathing
down our necks
and I can't fight
at full strength.
That's one way to put it.
Another is that her being here
might actually make you
fight fair for a change.
You saying
you're gonna fight fair?
All of my bad habits
I learned from you.
I don't care
what rules we play by
as long as we're playing
by the same ones.
So, how fair do you want
this fight to be?
Anything that could
get us disbarred
or put in prison is off-limits.
You're still afraid
of prison?
- Frank Gallo's dead.
- Harvey, I'm serious.
All right,
you got yourself a deal.
But one thing:
no crying in your coffee.
We end this thing on good terms
no matter who wins.
You got it.
I'll make sure to accept
your loss gracefully.
You were right.
I'm not over him.
Dare I ask how exactly
you came to this conclusion?
I called him.
- Oh, no.
- It was a disaster, Donna.
I had to redo
a million messages.
I started out
calling him Katrina.
Oh, dear.
- My F-buddy.
- That's worse.
I finally had to write
a script for myself
just to get out of it.
- Is that it?
- No.
But I can't relive
the rest of it.
And I won't make you,
at least not until you have
a martini in you,
which by my calculations
should be in about five hours.
Are you saying
what I think you're saying?
I am.
You and I are hitting
the town tonight.
Donna, that's a great idea.
Thank you.
- Shit.
- Is everything okay?
Um...
it will be.
I just need to figure out
how I'm gonna handle something.
I'll meet you in the lobby
at 7:00.
There she is.
The wonderful,
beautiful love of my life.
What is this?
Took the afternoon off,
did some shoe shopping.
New glass slippers
for my princess.
Louis, that is so sweet,
but you didn't need to.
You're not gonna believe this,
but an anonymous
$50,000 donation
came in this morning.
That is fantastic.
I am popping
the sparkling cider right now.
And while you're at it,
why don't you take these
anonymous glass slippers
and shove them up your ass.
What now?
Is that the phone?
Save it, Louis.
I know it was you.
Anonymous donations
don't come in anonymously.
They just tell me
to keep their name out.
Well, then that's just
false advertising.
Damn it Louis, how could you
do this to me?
"To you"?
I was doing it for you.
When I saw how upset you were
I just couldn't stand it.
I told you to leave me alone,
and instead, you showed me
you think I'm incapable
of doing my job.
- Sheila, I spent $50,000.
- I don't care.
- It was selfish and cruel...
- Okay, you know what?
I have been trying
to get it right,
but no matter what I do you
just keep biting my head off.
That's because
you never just listen.
And the last time
I listened, you said,
"Why aren't you
saying anything?"
And now I'm saying,
how could you not think about
how this would make me feel?
All I have been
thinking about is how you feel.
And I have been walking
on eggshells this whole time
trying not to set off
the pregnant woman who...
- Oh, so now I'm crazy.
- Yes!
Well, then, maybe I should
just check myself
into a nuthouse
and stop making your life
so miserable.
No, Sheila, wait.
Maybe we both need
to check ourselves
into a nuthouse.
- What are you talking about?
- Lipschitz.
I'm talking about us
seeing Stan.
How is that going to help?
He hasn't made you
any less insane.
Oh, yes, he has.
You know he has.
So what do you say
we give it a try?
Because, Sheila, I don't know
what else to do.
Oh, I'm sorry, Donna.
I am right in the middle
of something.
And I'm on my way
to meet Katrina,
but this can't wait.
Where did you get this?
"The Journal's"
online edition.
Oh, goddamn Mike Ross.
It'll be on the front page
tomorrow.
Well, he's not
getting away with it.
That's the thing, Samantha.
What if he does?
Are you asking me
to let him tell the world
our client exploits people?
I'm asking you to cut a deal.
Samantha, you can still find
a compromise.
- Why would I want to do that?
- Because Mike Ross is family.
- He's not my family.
- Yes, he is.
He's Robert's family,
and so are you.
Donna, I can't
sell out our clients
just because Mike married
Robert's daughter.
I didn't say "sell out,"
I said "compromise."
And if you won't do it
because he's family,
then do it because this ad
is just the beginning.
I am telling you,
he is just like you and Harvey.
He will never stop,
and if you can't come up
with a win-win,
then I guarantee you,
we will end up
with a lose-lose.
The thing is, I didn't mean
to fall for Brian.
I was just so comfortable
around him.
Of course, you were at work
in your element.
Have another.
Ooh.
Katrina, the way
to get over Brian
is to stop dwelling on him
and start having some fun.
What do you mean, "fun"?
I mean,
before Rachel was with Mike,
we used to go out
and assume the identities
of Harriet Specter
and Michelle Ross,
and we would convince
unsuspecting yet handsome men
to buy us drinks.
You mean,
you defrauded the public?
That's exactly what I mean.
And if I'm not mistaken,
I think Louise Litt
is still up for grabs.
So what do you say we go flank
that 6'2" hunk of gorgeous?
- Donna, I'm not...
- Copy that, too handsome.
What about Tom Hanks
over at 5:00?
- No, you're not...
- Got it.
He might as well be
Brian's brother.
What about...
Damn it, Donna,
I don't want anyone.
Katrina, what's going on?
I thought you wanted to talk
about how I was feeling,
not try to make me party
my way out of this.
Katrina, wait.
When's the last time you were
in a real relationship?
I don't feel comfortable
talking about that with you.
In other words,
you've only been in one
real relationship,
and you broke both your hearts
because you didn't
want anything to get in the way
of your career,
and I must be losing it
because I completely misread
the situation.
What do you mean?
Brian was your soul's way
of telling you
that there's more to life
than work,
and the person that you need
to develop a relationship with
is you.
How am I supposed to do that?
You are gonna start
by promising me
that one night a week
you're gonna do something
that's just for you.
I don't care
if it's a cooking class
or origami or just curling up
with your favorite book
as long as it has nothing
to do with work.
Or origami.
I promise.
And I'm going to start tonight
by having drinks with a friend.
That's what
I'm talking about.
- You're not Harvey.
- And you're not Jeremy Wall.
But you took an ad out
in his name defaming my client.
Are you here to shoot me?
I'm here to negotiate
with you.
Then come on in.
We took out that ad
because Brick Street
is exploiting its workers,
and we have every right
to say so.
Then let's get to it.
What's it gonna take
to make it all go away?
It's simple.
You stop making clothes
the way you do
or you let Jeremy out
of his contract with full pay.
Of course, you could do both,
but I'm a realist.
Look, Mike, I am trying
to find some common ground.
I've known
your father-in-law forever,
your wife since she was
a little girl.
Well, who's playing
the violin now?
Do you really expect me
to start tearing up
because you used
to babysit Rachel?
"Babysit her"?
I saved her father
from going to prison.
And what does that have to do
with the way your clients
treat its people?
You want the truth?
Nothing.
The only reason I'm here
talking to you
is because Donna begged me to.
Well, I don't really care
what Donna did.
I'm not handing Harvey a win,
and I'm certainly not
handing one
to his new second fiddle.
You're not handing anything
to anybody
because I have you
and your client dead to rights.
You're lucky I don't come
after you for slander.
Let me guess:
this is the part
where you slap me
with a defamation suit.
Well, I happen to have one
right here.
Well, then, you might as well
hand over that suit,
because I'm not
changing the offer
and we are definitely not
pulling that ad.
Faye, can I help you?
I hope so.
I was wondering
what you could tell me
about Mike Ross.
Easy, he's cocky, arrogant,
thinks he's the smartest guy
in the room.
And he's had my back
more than once,
so why don't you tell me
what you're doing here?
I'm here because Harvey
and Mr. Ross have history,
and when people have history,
they tend to do things
they shouldn't.
Not to mention
Samantha's now involved.
You've gotta be shitting me.
That's why you came in
all hat in hand?
- You want me to spy on them.
- Not spy, oversee.
Well, my answer's the same
either way.
I'm not a snitch
and I'm not a damn babysitter.
And I didn't come
hat in hand.
I came with respect, because
you're the only name partner
in this place
that hasn't come at me.
You want people to stop
coming at you, Faye,
stop doing shit where you show
you don't trust us
and we can't trust you.
You don't want to do this,
don't do it,
but there's a powder keg here
and I'm the only one trying
to keep it from exploding.
Harvey, good.
The deposition is tomorrow...
Did you go see Mike
behind my back?
- Yes, I did, but...
- Why?
Because Donna
practically begged me
to work things out with him.
Samantha, I didn't take
this case to lay down.
I took it to win.
Then what are you getting
so worked up about?
Because I didn't lay down.
I slapped them both
with a defamation suit,
which is exactly
what you would have done
if you had seen that ad.
It isn't
what I would have done
because I told you, I know him,
and he didn't fly
all the way out here
just to get slapped with a suit
he could have seen coming
a mile away.
You know what,
I'm getting a little tired
of you telling me
I can't handle this kid.
Well, that's too bad, because
until you filed the suit
the only questions
they could ask
were about Jeremy's contract.
Now, they get to ask about
our manufacturing conditions.
And that doesn't matter
because we didn't
do anything wrong.
Don't you get it?
We don't have
to have done anything wrong.
He just has to make it
look that way to a jury.
- Shit.
- That's right.
So you and I
are gonna stay here
for as long as it takes
to figure out
how to get out of this.
Wait a second.
If his goal is to play
his violin in front of a jury,
all we have to do is make sure
they never get to hear it.
Mind if the, uh, enemy
stops in?
I do,
but you're not the enemy.
I guess you haven't heard
about me and Harvey, then.
I've heard, but I stand
by my statement.
How have you been?
- How's Rachel?
- Good.
In fact,
if I told you how good,
you probably wouldn't
believe me.
- Please tell her I said hello.
- I will.
Speaking of good,
check out this office.
Shit.
- What's the matter?
- Nothing.
It's just, you should have been
senior partner first, not me.
Katrina, I am exactly
where I want to be.
I'll let you
get back to work.
Mike, I know
it's not my business,
but Samantha
is an excellent lawyer,
and deep down,
she's a good person.
- But?
- Don't push her.
I'm not trying
to do anything to her.
This is between me and Harvey.
As far as I'm concerned,
she's just along for the ride.
That's the thing
about Samantha.
She's never just along
for the ride.
Coming to beg for mercy
before I rip your guy apart?
No, I'm coming
to give formal notice
of our decision
to waive a jury trial.
What?
I'll use tiny words
so you'll understand.
This case is going to a judge
and only a judge.
This is bullshit.
What's bullshit is you're
gonna make it seem like
my client exploits his workers.
That's because he does.
Those working conditions
are miserable.
And that's exactly
the kind of sob story
you were gonna play
for a jury.
Well, we took that bullet out
of your chamber,
so why don't we call this off
and you don't have
to embarrass yourself in there?
No, we're not
calling anything off
because while a jury
might never hear it,
I'm gonna make that
motherfucker answer
for what he's doing.
Mr. Haskins,
how many people work
in your factories in China?
Approximately 2,000.
And are you aware
that those 2,000 people
work twice
what they're supposed to?
That's a fabrication
and there's no record of it.
You want a record?
These people make less
than 20 cents an hour.
You make $20 million a year.
How do you live with yourself?
Every company makes clothes
the same way.
Is it perfect?
No, but we can't compete
if we don't do the same thing.
And we're not violating
the terms of Jeremy's contract.
No, you're just
building an empire
on the backs
of women and children.
- Are you kidding me?
- Don't you say that.
- No children are involved.
- So it's just women, then?
You're twisting my words.
We break no local laws,
no international laws...
And yet, conditions
are so fucking bad
that two people
have killed themselves
in the last two years!
God damn it, I don't care
how many people
have killed themselves!
This has nothing
to do with my company!
We abide by the law.
Are you done?
Because you can get emotional
and he can get emotional
and you still have no evidence,
no jury, and no case.
And I don't have to remind you
that this testimony
is not to be revealed
outside this room.
And tomorrow morning,
we go to a judge,
and then I send you back
to wherever you came from
with nothing
but your crocodile tears
and a big fat loss.
Let me see
if I understand this correctly.
Louis, you fabricated
a $50,000 donation to Columbia
out of nothing but love
for your partner.
Exactly.
And Sheila, this same gesture
filled you with rage.
As it would anyone.
Then I believe I may have
a way to help you through this.
Does it include me
screaming into a pillow?
- Because I'm out 50 grand.
- Okay, you know what, Louis?
If I may.
I understand you two
have an interest in role-play.
- You told him about that?
- Of course I did.
It's therapy.
It's a passionate interest.
Okay, well, I'm not playing
Hansel and Gretel
with your Nazi therapist.
Sheila, as I've told Louis
no fewer than 65 times,
I am not a Nazi.
Secondly,
I am suggesting nothing
of the Hansel and Gretel sort.
Whoa, whoa, wait a second,
are you suggesting that we do
- what you had me and Harvey do?
- I am.
Well, then, I'm out,
because I have no interest
in me pretending to be Sheila
and her pretending to be me
because it's stupid and it's
not gonna lead to anything.
- Are you finished?
- Okay, let's try it.
What gave rise
to the initial incident?
Ironically, it happened
during role-play.
Ah, can you reenact it
for me?
No, I cannot,
because all I can remember
is I was getting ready to play
"Cinderella's dirty redemption"
and then the next thing I know,
she is yelling at me.
Because you made it clear
I was unattractive to you.
Sheila, that's just not true.
I don't care about your feet.
- You said they were fat.
- You said they were fat.
And instead of reassuring me,
all you focused on
was the money you were out.
- It was $9,000.
- Don't you get it?
- What if I can't pay it back?
- But you can pay it back.
That's the whole reason
I spent the $50,000...
to convince you
that you're good at your job.
No, you spent $50,000 to
make me feel trapped in my job.
What the hell
are you talking about?
- I thought you loved your job.
- So did I.
Sheila, I don't understand.
Louis, I never saw myself
having children.
But the more I embrace
becoming a mother...
the more I feel pulled
in two opposite directions.
And maybe I just want
to pick one.
Why didn't you tell me this?
Because being a warrior
is who I am.
And I if I change who I am...
What if Louis
won't want you anymore?
Sheila, look at me.
Being a warrior has nothing
to do with your job.
It's who you are.
And no matter what you choose
to do about your career,
I support it 1,000%.
I love you, Louis.
You look like you could
use this more than me.
I came in early today
because I couldn't sleep
and all of a sudden
it just hit me.
What, are you stressed out
about a client?
I was out late drinking
with Donna.
I feel that.
Katrina, you know about this
Mike, Harvey,
and Samantha thing?
I do. Why?
What if I told you
Faye came to me
to keep an eye on them
to make sure it doesn't get
out of control?
I'd say
it wouldn't surprise me,
but what you're really asking
is,
do I think
you should warn them?
Because I know
you didn't agree to spy.
I guess that is
what I'm asking.
- Don't do it.
- You mind if I ask why not?
Have you ever seen
either one of them react well
to an authority figure telling
them not to do something?
Shit, it'll just make them
more likely to do it.
Exactly.
Besides, I already told Mike
not to push Samantha.
With any luck,
we'll get out of this thing
without it blowing up
in any of our faces.
Harvey,
what are you doing here?
I'm here to talk about today.
Well, if you're looking
for a settlement,
our original offer stands.
"Original offer"?
Were you in there?
You got your ass kicked.
I'm just here to make sure
we're still good.
You haven't seen it,
have you?
Seen what?
Jeremy had a interview
scheduled for today,
but there was, uh...
well, there was
a last-minute wardrobe change.
Guess Russell Westbrook
isn't the only one
who can make
a fashion statement.
Damn it, Mike,
that deposition was under seal.
So sue me.
But, if you do, it won't be
a countersuit anymore,
which means there will be
a jury.
And if you think I won't
have you sanctioned for this...
Go ahead, 'cause this is
already going viral.
The more Brick Street tries
to stop it from getting out,
the more people
are gonna see it,
so I suggest, Harvey,
that you just tell them
to give us what we want.
I don't get it.
You went to all this trouble
just to get him out
so he would sign
with a competitor?
Well, I've got some news
for you, Harvey:
he's actually not looking
to sign with a competitor.
He's looking
to be the competitor.
He gets the money
from his contract
to put into his company...
Free advertising
from a public feud.
And maybe he changes the way
things get done in the process.
You helped him
plan this thing
from the beginning,
didn't you?
Well...
How the hell
did you pull that off?
It was easy.
You see, I knew
that you would play the man,
but the thing is,
the version of me
you thought you were playing,
he doesn't exist anymore.
The new Mike cares more
about the results
than he does
about playing the violin.
Gotta give you credit, Mike,
But you couldn't have done
any of this
if you hadn't learned so much
from me all those years.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
are you actually taking credit
for my win when you lost?
Let's be very clear
about something here, Harvey.
Right now, you are the governor
of Loserville,
and I am the mayor
of Winnertown.
You know mayor's
below governor, right?
Not in Winnertown, he isn't.
Mike, enjoy it
while it lasts.
Next time, you won't have
the element of surprise.
Who said there's gonna be
a next time?
What do you say
we get a drink?
You, me, and Donna?
Yeah, that sounds nice,
Harvey.
Donna, do you have a minute?
Of course.
Always.
I just wanted to tell you
that I signed up
for a dance class.
Ooh, I like it.
Tango? Salsa?
Ballet.
I was into it
when I was younger.
Of course you were.
- I'm so happy for you.
- That's not all.
Right after
I signed up for class,
I noticed I had a voicemail
from Brian.
- He called me back.
- What did he say?
That's just it...
I deleted it
without even listening.
Katrina, that's amazing.
Thank you, Donna.
Hey, Harvey and I
are supposed to get together
with Mike tonight.
- Do you want to join us?
- I can't.
Tonight's the first night
of class.
Oh, well, then,
prance on out of here.
- Did you see that video?
- I did.
That asshole set us up.
And you know it.
Well, I'm not letting him
get away with it.
Samantha, he beat us
fair and square.
Bullshit, he planned
this whole thing in advance.
A clear violation
of Jeremy's contract.
And knowing Mike,
we'll never prove it.
Careful, Harvey.
You're starting to sound
like you're proud of him.
And what if I am?
Then get off the field,
because one of us
isn't finished fighting.
I told you, there's no way
we'll prove it.
- Then I'll make proof.
- No, you won't.
Are you paying attention
to what's going on around here?
If you're talking about Faye,
Mike Ross isn't the only one
that can do things
without leaving a trace.
Samantha, I told him we
wouldn't do anything like this.
And you told me
you wanted to win.
- Get out of my way.
- No.
You're letting this go,
and that's an order.
- You don't give me orders.
- I do now.
You do this, you'll wish
you had problems with Faye.
Then you are
taking this loss, not me.
What's that?
Your new business cards.
This says my title
is "Vice President."
It does.
- You're giving me a promotion?
- And a 30% raise.
Is this because
I helped you out with Sheila?
It's because
you're a warrior.
You always have been,
and it's long past time
I let you know
how much I appreciate it.
Thank you, Louis.
No, Benjamin, thank you.
I've gotta say,
you were right.
This is much better
than going out.
Thanks.
Of course, when I suggested it,
I didn't mean
that I would be the one
to go to the grocery store
and the cheese shop
and the wine place.
To be fair, I do buy
my own toilet paper.
Which we would have had
to use as napkins
if I hadn't
also picked up napkins.
Thank God he's here.
Hey!
- You want some cheese?
- What the hell did you do?
What are you talking about?
I didn't do anything.
You bribed Charles Hu
to say I contacted him
a year and a half ago
with a scheme
to break up Jeremy's contract,
and I can't dispute it
because we're on the record
saying the guy's a saint.
Mike, listen to me, I had
nothing to do with this.
- Bullshit!
- It's not bullshit, Mike.
He's telling the truth.
Okay, well, if it wasn't you
then it was her.
So my question is,
what are you gonna do about it?
What the hell
can I do about it?
You can say she fabricated
evidence, like she did.
Are you out of your mind?
Do you know
what would happen to her?
I don't care!
She is cheating my client
out of a company
that could
change people's lives!
And I'm not gonna
sell her out!
Just like I'd do for you
if you were still here.
I don't believe this.
You're pissed that I left!
No, Mike,
I'm glad that you left,
and you could have come back
to visit any fucking time,
but you came back
to pick a fight with me
that you rigged six months ago.
Oh, so it's not that I left,
it's just that I beat you.
No, you almost did.
I was gonna let you get away
with it, but she didn't.
And I might want to kill her,
but I'm not gonna betray her.
I don't care about her!
I care about you.
You gave me your word,
and the Harvey I know
wouldn't break his word
and screw over
a bunch of innocent people
in the process.
You know,
you've lost yourself, Harvey,
and you know it.
Harvey...
No, you're gonna listen
to what I have to say,
because you lied to me.
I didn't lie,
I changed my mind.
- Bullshit.
- You're right.
It is bullshit, because I don't
take orders from you,
and I tried to tell you that
and you wouldn't listen.
So I did what needed
to be done.
And you put us both at risk,
because if Faye finds out...
She's not gonna find out.
All I did was produce
a piece of evidence
that proves exactly
what we know he did.
You didn't produce it,
you fabricated it
because you can't stand someone
getting the better of you.
I can't stand someone
ripping off my client.
So what are you really
upset about?
The fact that I crossed a line,
or that I beat
your little adopted son?
Samantha, Mike came at me
and I defended you,
because that's
what partners do.
Well, that's all over now,
because I don't
trust you anymore.
Louis.
- What are you doing here?
- Donna sent me.
Can I come in?
Why didn't Donna come
herself?
Well, she's with Harvey now.
She didn't want you
to hold it against her.
I'm not gonna hold anything
against her, Louis.
Well, I'm here to ask you
not to hold anything
against Harvey.
What do you want me to say?
She crossed the line,
he let her get away with it,
and then he tried
to defend it to me.
Mike, do you remember
the time I told you
Harvey and I
were like Ralph and Sam?
The sheep dog
and the wolf, yeah.
Of course I remember.
Well, the point of that story
was, we were rivals at work.
But no matter
how much we fought,
at the end of the day,
we didn't let it get in the way
of our friendship.
Mike, I'm not saying
you can't be furious.
I'm just saying,
don't let this be the end
of you and Harvey.
I got a plane
to catch, Louis.
Safe travels, Mike.
Louis, wait.
I never got a chance
to bring this by.
I was gonna mail it
when I got back,
but since you're here...
Oh, my God.
I gave one just like this
to Brian.
I had a bunch of these
I gave away.
I just couldn't find
the last one.
Rachel took it.
She was saving it for you.
I wanted to get one that said,
"Future Harvard Grad."
You know, 'cause I never
actually went to Harvard.
This one's perfect.
Tell Rachel I said
thank you, Mike.
I will.
Faye, if this could wait
until tomorrow,
I've had a long day.
I'm sure you did,
considering the impressive win
you and Harvey got
on behalf of your client.
Thank you, but like I said,
I've had a long day...
Here's the thing...
despite that win,
I was walking by earlier,
and it appeared
as if you and Harvey
were at each others' throats.
Harvey and I fight
about a lot of things.
So what?
So I think Harvey wanted
to beat his former protégé
so badly that he did something
he shouldn't have.
You don't know
what you're talking about.
We were about to lose,
and out of nowhere
evidence shows up
that saves the day.
I think
he created that evidence,
you got upset about it,
and if you don't stop
covering for him, instead
of handling it in-house,
I'll hand him over to the Bar.
Harvey didn't do anything,
and that is all
I'm going to say.
- Then it was you.
- I didn't say that.
It doesn't matter.
I warned you, I will not
tolerate unethical behavior.
You have no proof
I did anything.
I don't care,
because I know you did it.
- Now, pack up your things.
- I'm not packing anything.
Then I'll have them
packed for you,
because as of this second...
you're fired.
Rachel and I were offered
a chance to run a firm
in Seattle.
It's a place
that only takes cases
against Fortune 500 companies.
If you want to do more
pro bono cases...
That's not the point, Harvey.
This is who I am.
Harvey gave his clients
to Eric?
He did, but he still has one
more to give up,
- Brick Street Athletics.
- Why?
- He wanted to make a gesture.
- The dean of a law school.
There's no way
you'll be able to do both.
I want this job,
and I want a baby,
and I don't see
why I can't have both.
You betrayed me.
You betrayed this firm.
- I tried to hide it, I swear.
- Get the hell out of my firm.
- You are fired.
- No, he's not.
This shows an utter lack
of judgment,
and I'm not letting it stand.
I can't work here anymore.
- Brian, please don't do this.
- It's gonna be okay.
No, it's not.
If you want me gone,
convince me
you people can be trusted
to fly right.
And if we don't?
If you continue
to cross lines,
then you'll be fired.
What do you mean,
"you can't come over tonight"?
I got pizza.
I even got those stupid
yellow tomatoes that you like.
Harvey, something came up
last-minute.
An old friend called me
out of the blue.
Well, then,
why don't you come by later?
I could reheat the pizza.
It'll be 40% worse,
but it's okay.
Why do I get the feeling
that this isn't about pizza?
All right, look,
it's not something I advertise,
but I watch "Survivor."
- You watch "Survivor"?
- I do.
You shouldn't admit that.
It's an underrated show
but I love it,
and I was hoping
to get you into it.
Okay, then what do you say
I take a rain check?
All right,
but it's under protest.
- Who's this old friend, anyway?
- "Survivor"?
- What are you, 1,000?
- I get it.
The plans weren't for you,
they were for me.
Have a great time, Harvey.
You know, just because
she gave you a key
doesn't mean
you're staying here.
Why would I stay here?
I've got my old apartment
that you're pretending
to rent for me.
"Rick Sorkin"?
You've gone soft.
I was using it
as a tax shelter.
And what's the name
of that tax shelter?
"I'm A Softie"?
Maybe I've always been
a softie.
What happened to, uh,
"caring makes you weak"?
I think
you're confusing "caring"
with "moving to Seattle."
Speaking of Seattle,
don't you have some old ladies
looking to sue
the condo association,
or whatever big case
you've got going these days?
Yes, I do, but those ladies
are gonna have to wait,
because I always have time
for an old friend.
It's good to see you, Harvey.
Great to see you, Mike.
- Is that Gionno's?
- It is.
You like yellow tomatoes?
And should the slipper fit,
I will know thee
to be yon fair maiden who
so enchanted me at the ball.
But, my prince,
I am not worthy of you.
Not in these dirty clothes.
You're mistaken,
for it is your dirtiness
that so attracts me.
- Is something wrong, My Lord?
- No, my Lady.
It's just...
It's just... maybe if I...
Shit, it doesn't fit,
does it?
Of course it fits.
You're my princess.
No, I'm that fat step-sister.
What... Sheila, don't say that.
You're just retaining
a little extra water.
"Water"?
Louis, my foot's the size
of Wisconsin.
And no one's arguing that,
but once you have the baby
it will shrink right back down.
- No, it won't.
- What are you talking about?
Louis, if your feet grow
when you're pregnant,
they don't get smaller again.
But these were $9,000.
That's what you're
upset about?
Well, what the hell else
would I be upset about?
You know what, maybe I'm
the one who should be upset
because I'm fat and stupid
and just cost us a lot of money
and I can't do anything right!
Whoa, Sheila.
You do everything right.
- No, I don't.
- What's going on?
Okay, I tried
not to think about it,
but I spent an entire meeting
this morning
calling one of our most
important donors
the wrong name.
He pulled his donation.
$50,000.
Hey, hey.
It's okay.
- It's just one donor.
- No, it's not just one donor.
It's... it's everything!
And I'm so tired and so foggy.
Yeah,
because you're pregnant.
And if I can't do my job
when I'm pregnant,
why should anyone think
I'll be able to do it
when I have a baby?
Sheila, you are being
way too hard on yourself.
No, you just don't get it,
so just leave me alone!
Let me get this straight:
I tell Donna to kiss you,
she does, and then,
as a result,
you ask another woman
to move in with you.
It was
a complicated situation.
Must have been, because then
Donna starts dating a client,
breaks privilege for him,
and then you two
end up together.
Didn't we already
discuss this on the phone
like a month ago?
Yeah, well, if it had been
on FaceTime, I'd let it go,
but a real friend needs
to enjoy the shame in person.
Well, while you're
doing that, let's have it.
- Have what?
- Why you're really here.
'Cause I'm not buying
you showed up unannounced
without a reason.
If you really must know,
I'm here on business.
The business of begging
for your old job back?
Because it's too late.
We've replaced you.
Yeah, but do they have
a law degree?
Shit, I knew there was
something I forgot to check.
You see,
if you had my memory,
you wouldn't forget things
like that.
No, I'd just forget to lock
my briefcase full of weed.
- The lock was broken.
- Your brain is broken.
Come on, give it to me.
Who's the asshole
you're going up against?
Actually, I think
you know him pretty well.
His name is Harvey Sphincter.
- He plays it real tight.
- You gotta be kidding me.
A five hour flight and all you
came up with was "sphincter"?
I stand by sphincter.
But you want something better?
How about this.
I represent Jeremy Wall,
and he wants out of his
contract with Brick Street.
- Wait a second, "out"?
- Mm-hmm.
Jeremy's deal stipulates
they do no harm to his image,
and exploiting overseas workers
is textbook harm.
Exploiting its workers?
Where's he getting that idea?
He went on a goodwill trip.
He saw the factory himself.
Well, if you want me
to sell them on this,
he's gonna have to give them
their money back.
Oh, he's not giving back
a dime.
He's not walking for free.
I figured you might say that,
so I brought
a little incentive.
Breach of contract.
I see what this is.
You don't want me
to convince Brick Street.
You wanna take me on.
I take you on, kick your ass.
I mean, what's the difference?
Well, in that case,
why don't you
and Jeremy pop by tomorrow?
And by "pop by," I mean sit
for a deposition.
Are you sure?
You're not worried about losing
to a lawyer in his prime?
I hate to break it to you,
Mike, but I was in my prime
before you were born,
and I'll be in it
long after you're dead.
You know that doesn't
make sense, right?
It will
when you're in your prime.
Then I guess
I'll see you tomorrow.
Oh, and Harvey,
to, um, put this in a way
that you might understand,
if this ends up going
to a jury
like they do in "Survivor,"
I'll be the last man standing.
I knew he watched "Survivor."
Alex, just the man
I wanted to see.
Um...
you survived two pregnancies
with Rosalie, right?
Yes, I did.
Why?
How'd you do it?
Right now I can't
do anything right.
No matter what I say, no matter
what I do, it upsets her.
I've read every book
that I can get my hands on.
but none of them talk about...
Her being crazy.
Louis, why did you
whisper that?
I don't know.
What is so funny?
I'm thinking about
how fucked you are.
God damn it, Alex,
I have no one else to turn to.
Brian left,
if Harvey has children,
he doesn't know about them,
and if you think
I'm gonna ask my sister
you're out
of your goddamn mind.
All right, listen, the answer
to your problem is simple.
Just do nothing.
What are you talking about?
Whatever's upsetting her,
don't try to solve it.
Don't tell her
it's gonna be okay.
Just listen and do nothing.
Nothing.
- That's right, nothing.
- Not even...
- Nope.
- What about...
- Uh-uh.
- Surely I can...
Louis, the reason I was
laughing was because I know
you're incapable
of doing nothing,
so if you must do something...
and I don't recommend this...
just tell her you love her.
I tried that.
She threw a shoe in my face.
So you feel me now?
Yeah, I do.
Thank you, Alex.
I'm going to go ahead
and do nothing.
He's totally fucked.
- Good morning, Katrina.
- Donna, what can I do for you?
I want to thank you
for protecting my vote
with that code of conduct.
It was nothing.
It was something,
and I wanna return the favor.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about Brian.
Katrina, you haven't picked
a new associate
and you haven't seemed
like yourself lately,
and it makes me think
that you haven't moved on.
Well, I appreciate
your concern, but I have.
Well, how about you give him
a call right now?
See?
Even the thought of it
makes you uncomfortable.
Okay, you're right.
I haven't picked
a new associate.
And with everything
that's been going on,
you can hardly blame me
for not seeming like myself.
But as far as Brian goes,
I'm doing just fine.
I understand.
And if you change your mind
and you wanna talk about it,
I'm here.
Benjamin,
do you have a second?
Actually, Louis, I don't.
I'm a little busy right now.
Unless you want
to fire me again.
Okay, I get it.
You are still upset about that.
"Upset"?
You asked me to do something
shady for you,
and then when I got caught,
instead of standing up for me,
you fired me.
And on top of all of that,
you don't even show your face
until you need something,
which is obvious
by that greasy bag of
delicious bacon in your hand.
Well, bacon is not gonna solve
your problem this time, a-hole.
Benjamin, I know
I have not been here,
and all I can say
about that is, I am ashamed.
You wanna know how
to make that shame go away?
How about saying, "I was wrong
and I'm sorry"?
I was wrong, and I am sorry.
And I am not just saying that
because I need your help.
But you are saying it
when you need help.
I am.
And if you don't wanna help,
you don't have to.
But it's not for me,
it's for Sheila.
- Sheila?
- She lost a huge donor.
She feels horrible,
and the only way I can think
of making the mother
of my unborn child feel better
is to replace his contribution.
- How much?
- $50,000.
Okay, well,
if you are willing
to part with that much money
to make Sheila feel better,
I'll help.
What do you need?
I need you to run a proxy
through a financial institution
to create the appearance
of an anonymous donation
from a tax sheltered company.
All right,
I am doing this for Sheila
and I will require the bacon,
but that is
the most romantic thing
I've ever heard in my life.
Thank you.
Harvey?
Samantha, I was just gonna
come see you.
No, you weren't.
You know how I know that?
Because my new client...
the one you gave me...
was served with a lawsuit
at your condo last night
and you didn't
tell me about it.
You heard about
Brick Street already?
- Did you think I wouldn't?
- Sure, it's possible.
You sometimes box
in the mornings.
Harvey...
Samantha, I'm not trying
to take them back.
It's just a little complicated.
What exactly
is complicated about it?
Hey, Jeremy's here.
Ready to go do this deposition?
"Jeremy"?
Let me get this straight:
not only did you take my client
without telling me,
you scheduled a deposition
with the other side?
- Wait, her client?
- Mike, meet Samantha Wheeler.
I gave her Brick Street
about a month ago.
I might have forgotten
to mention that
to you last night.
Samantha, meet Mike Ross.
Mm, the protégé.
Okay, why did she just
say it like that?
If I had to take a guess,
it's because she thought
you'd be taller.
- I'm the same height as you.
- The lies we tell ourselves.
It's because
I'm less concerned
with meeting you
than kicking your ass
since I'm the one you're gonna
be going up against, not him.
- Hang on, I didn't agree...
- Harvey, if I may?
Look, Samantha, I get it.
I've been where you are
right now a hundred times.
It's so frustrating,
but I think we all know
Harvey's gonna
take this client back
whether you like it or not,
so you might as well
just let him do it.
That's about as naive
as hoping we'll let Jeremy Wall
out of his contract.
Well, this isn't
really about hope.
It's about Bridge Street
doing right by its workers.
And if you think
that sob story
is gonna work here,
you're wrong.
Sob stories
are his specialty.
I prefer to call it
"appealing
to a jury's humanity."
Well, I call it "bringing
a violin to a gun fight."
Well, we'll see
what you call it when I'm done.
Anyway, I'll give you two
a minute to discuss
who's gonna take the loss.
Your protégé is a douche.
Not gonna argue
with you there.
Then how about not arguing
over whose client this is?
Because I got a deposition
to get to.
You don't even know
this case.
I know the client,
I know the contract...
- And I know the man.
- You think I can't beat him?
Samantha, he used to be
my guy.
He travelled across the country
to pick a fight with me.
He's never gonna let me
live it down if I duck him.
Then we're doing this
together,
because this is my client.
I'm not just handing them
over to you.
Okay, but don't
underestimate him.
Whatever else Mike Ross is,
he's just as good
as you and me.
This is stupid.
You're over him,
and someone who is over someone
should be able to call them
as a friend.
Hey, you've reached
Brian Altman.
Please leave a message
and have a great day.
Hey, Brian.
Just calling because you came
up in conversation today.
Apropos of nothing.
We certainly weren't
talking about
how I'm still not over you.
Oh, sweet Lord,
I just made it worse.
What do I do?
What do I...
If you are satisfied
with your message,
please press one.
To rerecord, press two.
Thank God.
Hey, Brian.
It's your buddy.
Your friend
with a capital "F."
Your F-buddy.
Hi, Katrina, it's Brian.
Shit.
B-dawg, it's Kitty Kat.
What?
Who are you?
Nope.
Ass.
Damn it.
Ball sack!
Fuck.
Mother of pearl!
Just tell her you love me
and that it's over!
That felt good.
Hello, Brian.
Today you came up
in a work-related discussion,
and I wanted to see
if there were any bespoke files
you had not yet received.
Cordially, Katrina Bennett.
Mr. Wall,
you claim to have seen
objectionable
factory conditions.
I'm not claiming anything.
I... I saw them.
Those people are miserable.
And misery isn't a violation
of international law.
Are they violating
international law?
I don't know.
No, you don't, because
you're a basketball player.
You're not a lawyer.
That doesn't mean
I can't tell
when something's not right.
And when exactly
did you start thinking
something wasn't right?
When I visited that factory
six months ago.
And yet, you're only
bringing this up now?
Why?
Because, like, you said,
I'm a basketball player.
I... I didn't know what to do
or who to go to.
No, you were afraid
you wouldn't be paid
your full contract.
Don't talk to my client
like that.
And you can't speak
to his motivations.
I don't care
about his motivations.
What I want to know
is why he lied
about being contacted by
an activist named Charles Hu.
I didn't lie about anything.
You said you didn't care
about the conditions
until six months ago.
He wrote you 18 months ago.
Sounds like a lie to me.
That letter got me
a little concerned,
but I didn't take it seriously
until I saw
the conditions myself.
And what you need
to take seriously
is that you had one year
to blow the whistle,
and you are six months
too late.
Bullshit, that letter
was unsolicited.
It... it didn't trigger
his awareness.
He just said it did.
He used the word "concern."
This is a technicality.
No, Mike, it's the terms
of his contract.
I think this case
is getting dismissed.
So you really gonna do this?
Mike, it's there
in black and white.
I don't care
what's in black and white.
He found out
about the conditions
6 months ago, not 18.
It's not a violation.
Well, you're gonna have
to explain that to a judge.
And even if you're successful,
he'll be on record
saying he didn't give a shit
about those people
for an entire year.
Harvey, they're exploiting
these people and you know it.
What I know is,
you're the same old Mike
playing that violin
to get me to help you.
I might be the same old Mike,
but you are not
the same old Harvey.
- What'd you just say?
- You heard me.
That's why you did this now.
You know Faye's breathing
down our necks
and I can't fight
at full strength.
That's one way to put it.
Another is that her being here
might actually make you
fight fair for a change.
You saying
you're gonna fight fair?
All of my bad habits
I learned from you.
I don't care
what rules we play by
as long as we're playing
by the same ones.
So, how fair do you want
this fight to be?
Anything that could
get us disbarred
or put in prison is off-limits.
You're still afraid
of prison?
- Frank Gallo's dead.
- Harvey, I'm serious.
All right,
you got yourself a deal.
But one thing:
no crying in your coffee.
We end this thing on good terms
no matter who wins.
You got it.
I'll make sure to accept
your loss gracefully.
You were right.
I'm not over him.
Dare I ask how exactly
you came to this conclusion?
I called him.
- Oh, no.
- It was a disaster, Donna.
I had to redo
a million messages.
I started out
calling him Katrina.
Oh, dear.
- My F-buddy.
- That's worse.
I finally had to write
a script for myself
just to get out of it.
- Is that it?
- No.
But I can't relive
the rest of it.
And I won't make you,
at least not until you have
a martini in you,
which by my calculations
should be in about five hours.
Are you saying
what I think you're saying?
I am.
You and I are hitting
the town tonight.
Donna, that's a great idea.
Thank you.
- Shit.
- Is everything okay?
Um...
it will be.
I just need to figure out
how I'm gonna handle something.
I'll meet you in the lobby
at 7:00.
There she is.
The wonderful,
beautiful love of my life.
What is this?
Took the afternoon off,
did some shoe shopping.
New glass slippers
for my princess.
Louis, that is so sweet,
but you didn't need to.
You're not gonna believe this,
but an anonymous
$50,000 donation
came in this morning.
That is fantastic.
I am popping
the sparkling cider right now.
And while you're at it,
why don't you take these
anonymous glass slippers
and shove them up your ass.
What now?
Is that the phone?
Save it, Louis.
I know it was you.
Anonymous donations
don't come in anonymously.
They just tell me
to keep their name out.
Well, then that's just
false advertising.
Damn it Louis, how could you
do this to me?
"To you"?
I was doing it for you.
When I saw how upset you were
I just couldn't stand it.
I told you to leave me alone,
and instead, you showed me
you think I'm incapable
of doing my job.
- Sheila, I spent $50,000.
- I don't care.
- It was selfish and cruel...
- Okay, you know what?
I have been trying
to get it right,
but no matter what I do you
just keep biting my head off.
That's because
you never just listen.
And the last time
I listened, you said,
"Why aren't you
saying anything?"
And now I'm saying,
how could you not think about
how this would make me feel?
All I have been
thinking about is how you feel.
And I have been walking
on eggshells this whole time
trying not to set off
the pregnant woman who...
- Oh, so now I'm crazy.
- Yes!
Well, then, maybe I should
just check myself
into a nuthouse
and stop making your life
so miserable.
No, Sheila, wait.
Maybe we both need
to check ourselves
into a nuthouse.
- What are you talking about?
- Lipschitz.
I'm talking about us
seeing Stan.
How is that going to help?
He hasn't made you
any less insane.
Oh, yes, he has.
You know he has.
So what do you say
we give it a try?
Because, Sheila, I don't know
what else to do.
Oh, I'm sorry, Donna.
I am right in the middle
of something.
And I'm on my way
to meet Katrina,
but this can't wait.
Where did you get this?
"The Journal's"
online edition.
Oh, goddamn Mike Ross.
It'll be on the front page
tomorrow.
Well, he's not
getting away with it.
That's the thing, Samantha.
What if he does?
Are you asking me
to let him tell the world
our client exploits people?
I'm asking you to cut a deal.
Samantha, you can still find
a compromise.
- Why would I want to do that?
- Because Mike Ross is family.
- He's not my family.
- Yes, he is.
He's Robert's family,
and so are you.
Donna, I can't
sell out our clients
just because Mike married
Robert's daughter.
I didn't say "sell out,"
I said "compromise."
And if you won't do it
because he's family,
then do it because this ad
is just the beginning.
I am telling you,
he is just like you and Harvey.
He will never stop,
and if you can't come up
with a win-win,
then I guarantee you,
we will end up
with a lose-lose.
The thing is, I didn't mean
to fall for Brian.
I was just so comfortable
around him.
Of course, you were at work
in your element.
Have another.
Ooh.
Katrina, the way
to get over Brian
is to stop dwelling on him
and start having some fun.
What do you mean, "fun"?
I mean,
before Rachel was with Mike,
we used to go out
and assume the identities
of Harriet Specter
and Michelle Ross,
and we would convince
unsuspecting yet handsome men
to buy us drinks.
You mean,
you defrauded the public?
That's exactly what I mean.
And if I'm not mistaken,
I think Louise Litt
is still up for grabs.
So what do you say we go flank
that 6'2" hunk of gorgeous?
- Donna, I'm not...
- Copy that, too handsome.
What about Tom Hanks
over at 5:00?
- No, you're not...
- Got it.
He might as well be
Brian's brother.
What about...
Damn it, Donna,
I don't want anyone.
Katrina, what's going on?
I thought you wanted to talk
about how I was feeling,
not try to make me party
my way out of this.
Katrina, wait.
When's the last time you were
in a real relationship?
I don't feel comfortable
talking about that with you.
In other words,
you've only been in one
real relationship,
and you broke both your hearts
because you didn't
want anything to get in the way
of your career,
and I must be losing it
because I completely misread
the situation.
What do you mean?
Brian was your soul's way
of telling you
that there's more to life
than work,
and the person that you need
to develop a relationship with
is you.
How am I supposed to do that?
You are gonna start
by promising me
that one night a week
you're gonna do something
that's just for you.
I don't care
if it's a cooking class
or origami or just curling up
with your favorite book
as long as it has nothing
to do with work.
Or origami.
I promise.
And I'm going to start tonight
by having drinks with a friend.
That's what
I'm talking about.
- You're not Harvey.
- And you're not Jeremy Wall.
But you took an ad out
in his name defaming my client.
Are you here to shoot me?
I'm here to negotiate
with you.
Then come on in.
We took out that ad
because Brick Street
is exploiting its workers,
and we have every right
to say so.
Then let's get to it.
What's it gonna take
to make it all go away?
It's simple.
You stop making clothes
the way you do
or you let Jeremy out
of his contract with full pay.
Of course, you could do both,
but I'm a realist.
Look, Mike, I am trying
to find some common ground.
I've known
your father-in-law forever,
your wife since she was
a little girl.
Well, who's playing
the violin now?
Do you really expect me
to start tearing up
because you used
to babysit Rachel?
"Babysit her"?
I saved her father
from going to prison.
And what does that have to do
with the way your clients
treat its people?
You want the truth?
Nothing.
The only reason I'm here
talking to you
is because Donna begged me to.
Well, I don't really care
what Donna did.
I'm not handing Harvey a win,
and I'm certainly not
handing one
to his new second fiddle.
You're not handing anything
to anybody
because I have you
and your client dead to rights.
You're lucky I don't come
after you for slander.
Let me guess:
this is the part
where you slap me
with a defamation suit.
Well, I happen to have one
right here.
Well, then, you might as well
hand over that suit,
because I'm not
changing the offer
and we are definitely not
pulling that ad.
Faye, can I help you?
I hope so.
I was wondering
what you could tell me
about Mike Ross.
Easy, he's cocky, arrogant,
thinks he's the smartest guy
in the room.
And he's had my back
more than once,
so why don't you tell me
what you're doing here?
I'm here because Harvey
and Mr. Ross have history,
and when people have history,
they tend to do things
they shouldn't.
Not to mention
Samantha's now involved.
You've gotta be shitting me.
That's why you came in
all hat in hand?
- You want me to spy on them.
- Not spy, oversee.
Well, my answer's the same
either way.
I'm not a snitch
and I'm not a damn babysitter.
And I didn't come
hat in hand.
I came with respect, because
you're the only name partner
in this place
that hasn't come at me.
You want people to stop
coming at you, Faye,
stop doing shit where you show
you don't trust us
and we can't trust you.
You don't want to do this,
don't do it,
but there's a powder keg here
and I'm the only one trying
to keep it from exploding.
Harvey, good.
The deposition is tomorrow...
Did you go see Mike
behind my back?
- Yes, I did, but...
- Why?
Because Donna
practically begged me
to work things out with him.
Samantha, I didn't take
this case to lay down.
I took it to win.
Then what are you getting
so worked up about?
Because I didn't lay down.
I slapped them both
with a defamation suit,
which is exactly
what you would have done
if you had seen that ad.
It isn't
what I would have done
because I told you, I know him,
and he didn't fly
all the way out here
just to get slapped with a suit
he could have seen coming
a mile away.
You know what,
I'm getting a little tired
of you telling me
I can't handle this kid.
Well, that's too bad, because
until you filed the suit
the only questions
they could ask
were about Jeremy's contract.
Now, they get to ask about
our manufacturing conditions.
And that doesn't matter
because we didn't
do anything wrong.
Don't you get it?
We don't have
to have done anything wrong.
He just has to make it
look that way to a jury.
- Shit.
- That's right.
So you and I
are gonna stay here
for as long as it takes
to figure out
how to get out of this.
Wait a second.
If his goal is to play
his violin in front of a jury,
all we have to do is make sure
they never get to hear it.
Mind if the, uh, enemy
stops in?
I do,
but you're not the enemy.
I guess you haven't heard
about me and Harvey, then.
I've heard, but I stand
by my statement.
How have you been?
- How's Rachel?
- Good.
In fact,
if I told you how good,
you probably wouldn't
believe me.
- Please tell her I said hello.
- I will.
Speaking of good,
check out this office.
Shit.
- What's the matter?
- Nothing.
It's just, you should have been
senior partner first, not me.
Katrina, I am exactly
where I want to be.
I'll let you
get back to work.
Mike, I know
it's not my business,
but Samantha
is an excellent lawyer,
and deep down,
she's a good person.
- But?
- Don't push her.
I'm not trying
to do anything to her.
This is between me and Harvey.
As far as I'm concerned,
she's just along for the ride.
That's the thing
about Samantha.
She's never just along
for the ride.
Coming to beg for mercy
before I rip your guy apart?
No, I'm coming
to give formal notice
of our decision
to waive a jury trial.
What?
I'll use tiny words
so you'll understand.
This case is going to a judge
and only a judge.
This is bullshit.
What's bullshit is you're
gonna make it seem like
my client exploits his workers.
That's because he does.
Those working conditions
are miserable.
And that's exactly
the kind of sob story
you were gonna play
for a jury.
Well, we took that bullet out
of your chamber,
so why don't we call this off
and you don't have
to embarrass yourself in there?
No, we're not
calling anything off
because while a jury
might never hear it,
I'm gonna make that
motherfucker answer
for what he's doing.
Mr. Haskins,
how many people work
in your factories in China?
Approximately 2,000.
And are you aware
that those 2,000 people
work twice
what they're supposed to?
That's a fabrication
and there's no record of it.
You want a record?
These people make less
than 20 cents an hour.
You make $20 million a year.
How do you live with yourself?
Every company makes clothes
the same way.
Is it perfect?
No, but we can't compete
if we don't do the same thing.
And we're not violating
the terms of Jeremy's contract.
No, you're just
building an empire
on the backs
of women and children.
- Are you kidding me?
- Don't you say that.
- No children are involved.
- So it's just women, then?
You're twisting my words.
We break no local laws,
no international laws...
And yet, conditions
are so fucking bad
that two people
have killed themselves
in the last two years!
God damn it, I don't care
how many people
have killed themselves!
This has nothing
to do with my company!
We abide by the law.
Are you done?
Because you can get emotional
and he can get emotional
and you still have no evidence,
no jury, and no case.
And I don't have to remind you
that this testimony
is not to be revealed
outside this room.
And tomorrow morning,
we go to a judge,
and then I send you back
to wherever you came from
with nothing
but your crocodile tears
and a big fat loss.
Let me see
if I understand this correctly.
Louis, you fabricated
a $50,000 donation to Columbia
out of nothing but love
for your partner.
Exactly.
And Sheila, this same gesture
filled you with rage.
As it would anyone.
Then I believe I may have
a way to help you through this.
Does it include me
screaming into a pillow?
- Because I'm out 50 grand.
- Okay, you know what, Louis?
If I may.
I understand you two
have an interest in role-play.
- You told him about that?
- Of course I did.
It's therapy.
It's a passionate interest.
Okay, well, I'm not playing
Hansel and Gretel
with your Nazi therapist.
Sheila, as I've told Louis
no fewer than 65 times,
I am not a Nazi.
Secondly,
I am suggesting nothing
of the Hansel and Gretel sort.
Whoa, whoa, wait a second,
are you suggesting that we do
- what you had me and Harvey do?
- I am.
Well, then, I'm out,
because I have no interest
in me pretending to be Sheila
and her pretending to be me
because it's stupid and it's
not gonna lead to anything.
- Are you finished?
- Okay, let's try it.
What gave rise
to the initial incident?
Ironically, it happened
during role-play.
Ah, can you reenact it
for me?
No, I cannot,
because all I can remember
is I was getting ready to play
"Cinderella's dirty redemption"
and then the next thing I know,
she is yelling at me.
Because you made it clear
I was unattractive to you.
Sheila, that's just not true.
I don't care about your feet.
- You said they were fat.
- You said they were fat.
And instead of reassuring me,
all you focused on
was the money you were out.
- It was $9,000.
- Don't you get it?
- What if I can't pay it back?
- But you can pay it back.
That's the whole reason
I spent the $50,000...
to convince you
that you're good at your job.
No, you spent $50,000 to
make me feel trapped in my job.
What the hell
are you talking about?
- I thought you loved your job.
- So did I.
Sheila, I don't understand.
Louis, I never saw myself
having children.
But the more I embrace
becoming a mother...
the more I feel pulled
in two opposite directions.
And maybe I just want
to pick one.
Why didn't you tell me this?
Because being a warrior
is who I am.
And I if I change who I am...
What if Louis
won't want you anymore?
Sheila, look at me.
Being a warrior has nothing
to do with your job.
It's who you are.
And no matter what you choose
to do about your career,
I support it 1,000%.
I love you, Louis.
You look like you could
use this more than me.
I came in early today
because I couldn't sleep
and all of a sudden
it just hit me.
What, are you stressed out
about a client?
I was out late drinking
with Donna.
I feel that.
Katrina, you know about this
Mike, Harvey,
and Samantha thing?
I do. Why?
What if I told you
Faye came to me
to keep an eye on them
to make sure it doesn't get
out of control?
I'd say
it wouldn't surprise me,
but what you're really asking
is,
do I think
you should warn them?
Because I know
you didn't agree to spy.
I guess that is
what I'm asking.
- Don't do it.
- You mind if I ask why not?
Have you ever seen
either one of them react well
to an authority figure telling
them not to do something?
Shit, it'll just make them
more likely to do it.
Exactly.
Besides, I already told Mike
not to push Samantha.
With any luck,
we'll get out of this thing
without it blowing up
in any of our faces.
Harvey,
what are you doing here?
I'm here to talk about today.
Well, if you're looking
for a settlement,
our original offer stands.
"Original offer"?
Were you in there?
You got your ass kicked.
I'm just here to make sure
we're still good.
You haven't seen it,
have you?
Seen what?
Jeremy had a interview
scheduled for today,
but there was, uh...
well, there was
a last-minute wardrobe change.
Guess Russell Westbrook
isn't the only one
who can make
a fashion statement.
Damn it, Mike,
that deposition was under seal.
So sue me.
But, if you do, it won't be
a countersuit anymore,
which means there will be
a jury.
And if you think I won't
have you sanctioned for this...
Go ahead, 'cause this is
already going viral.
The more Brick Street tries
to stop it from getting out,
the more people
are gonna see it,
so I suggest, Harvey,
that you just tell them
to give us what we want.
I don't get it.
You went to all this trouble
just to get him out
so he would sign
with a competitor?
Well, I've got some news
for you, Harvey:
he's actually not looking
to sign with a competitor.
He's looking
to be the competitor.
He gets the money
from his contract
to put into his company...
Free advertising
from a public feud.
And maybe he changes the way
things get done in the process.
You helped him
plan this thing
from the beginning,
didn't you?
Well...
How the hell
did you pull that off?
It was easy.
You see, I knew
that you would play the man,
but the thing is,
the version of me
you thought you were playing,
he doesn't exist anymore.
The new Mike cares more
about the results
than he does
about playing the violin.
Gotta give you credit, Mike,
But you couldn't have done
any of this
if you hadn't learned so much
from me all those years.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
are you actually taking credit
for my win when you lost?
Let's be very clear
about something here, Harvey.
Right now, you are the governor
of Loserville,
and I am the mayor
of Winnertown.
You know mayor's
below governor, right?
Not in Winnertown, he isn't.
Mike, enjoy it
while it lasts.
Next time, you won't have
the element of surprise.
Who said there's gonna be
a next time?
What do you say
we get a drink?
You, me, and Donna?
Yeah, that sounds nice,
Harvey.
Donna, do you have a minute?
Of course.
Always.
I just wanted to tell you
that I signed up
for a dance class.
Ooh, I like it.
Tango? Salsa?
Ballet.
I was into it
when I was younger.
Of course you were.
- I'm so happy for you.
- That's not all.
Right after
I signed up for class,
I noticed I had a voicemail
from Brian.
- He called me back.
- What did he say?
That's just it...
I deleted it
without even listening.
Katrina, that's amazing.
Thank you, Donna.
Hey, Harvey and I
are supposed to get together
with Mike tonight.
- Do you want to join us?
- I can't.
Tonight's the first night
of class.
Oh, well, then,
prance on out of here.
- Did you see that video?
- I did.
That asshole set us up.
And you know it.
Well, I'm not letting him
get away with it.
Samantha, he beat us
fair and square.
Bullshit, he planned
this whole thing in advance.
A clear violation
of Jeremy's contract.
And knowing Mike,
we'll never prove it.
Careful, Harvey.
You're starting to sound
like you're proud of him.
And what if I am?
Then get off the field,
because one of us
isn't finished fighting.
I told you, there's no way
we'll prove it.
- Then I'll make proof.
- No, you won't.
Are you paying attention
to what's going on around here?
If you're talking about Faye,
Mike Ross isn't the only one
that can do things
without leaving a trace.
Samantha, I told him we
wouldn't do anything like this.
And you told me
you wanted to win.
- Get out of my way.
- No.
You're letting this go,
and that's an order.
- You don't give me orders.
- I do now.
You do this, you'll wish
you had problems with Faye.
Then you are
taking this loss, not me.
What's that?
Your new business cards.
This says my title
is "Vice President."
It does.
- You're giving me a promotion?
- And a 30% raise.
Is this because
I helped you out with Sheila?
It's because
you're a warrior.
You always have been,
and it's long past time
I let you know
how much I appreciate it.
Thank you, Louis.
No, Benjamin, thank you.
I've gotta say,
you were right.
This is much better
than going out.
Thanks.
Of course, when I suggested it,
I didn't mean
that I would be the one
to go to the grocery store
and the cheese shop
and the wine place.
To be fair, I do buy
my own toilet paper.
Which we would have had
to use as napkins
if I hadn't
also picked up napkins.
Thank God he's here.
Hey!
- You want some cheese?
- What the hell did you do?
What are you talking about?
I didn't do anything.
You bribed Charles Hu
to say I contacted him
a year and a half ago
with a scheme
to break up Jeremy's contract,
and I can't dispute it
because we're on the record
saying the guy's a saint.
Mike, listen to me, I had
nothing to do with this.
- Bullshit!
- It's not bullshit, Mike.
He's telling the truth.
Okay, well, if it wasn't you
then it was her.
So my question is,
what are you gonna do about it?
What the hell
can I do about it?
You can say she fabricated
evidence, like she did.
Are you out of your mind?
Do you know
what would happen to her?
I don't care!
She is cheating my client
out of a company
that could
change people's lives!
And I'm not gonna
sell her out!
Just like I'd do for you
if you were still here.
I don't believe this.
You're pissed that I left!
No, Mike,
I'm glad that you left,
and you could have come back
to visit any fucking time,
but you came back
to pick a fight with me
that you rigged six months ago.
Oh, so it's not that I left,
it's just that I beat you.
No, you almost did.
I was gonna let you get away
with it, but she didn't.
And I might want to kill her,
but I'm not gonna betray her.
I don't care about her!
I care about you.
You gave me your word,
and the Harvey I know
wouldn't break his word
and screw over
a bunch of innocent people
in the process.
You know,
you've lost yourself, Harvey,
and you know it.
Harvey...
No, you're gonna listen
to what I have to say,
because you lied to me.
I didn't lie,
I changed my mind.
- Bullshit.
- You're right.
It is bullshit, because I don't
take orders from you,
and I tried to tell you that
and you wouldn't listen.
So I did what needed
to be done.
And you put us both at risk,
because if Faye finds out...
She's not gonna find out.
All I did was produce
a piece of evidence
that proves exactly
what we know he did.
You didn't produce it,
you fabricated it
because you can't stand someone
getting the better of you.
I can't stand someone
ripping off my client.
So what are you really
upset about?
The fact that I crossed a line,
or that I beat
your little adopted son?
Samantha, Mike came at me
and I defended you,
because that's
what partners do.
Well, that's all over now,
because I don't
trust you anymore.
Louis.
- What are you doing here?
- Donna sent me.
Can I come in?
Why didn't Donna come
herself?
Well, she's with Harvey now.
She didn't want you
to hold it against her.
I'm not gonna hold anything
against her, Louis.
Well, I'm here to ask you
not to hold anything
against Harvey.
What do you want me to say?
She crossed the line,
he let her get away with it,
and then he tried
to defend it to me.
Mike, do you remember
the time I told you
Harvey and I
were like Ralph and Sam?
The sheep dog
and the wolf, yeah.
Of course I remember.
Well, the point of that story
was, we were rivals at work.
But no matter
how much we fought,
at the end of the day,
we didn't let it get in the way
of our friendship.
Mike, I'm not saying
you can't be furious.
I'm just saying,
don't let this be the end
of you and Harvey.
I got a plane
to catch, Louis.
Safe travels, Mike.
Louis, wait.
I never got a chance
to bring this by.
I was gonna mail it
when I got back,
but since you're here...
Oh, my God.
I gave one just like this
to Brian.
I had a bunch of these
I gave away.
I just couldn't find
the last one.
Rachel took it.
She was saving it for you.
I wanted to get one that said,
"Future Harvard Grad."
You know, 'cause I never
actually went to Harvard.
This one's perfect.
Tell Rachel I said
thank you, Mike.
I will.
Faye, if this could wait
until tomorrow,
I've had a long day.
I'm sure you did,
considering the impressive win
you and Harvey got
on behalf of your client.
Thank you, but like I said,
I've had a long day...
Here's the thing...
despite that win,
I was walking by earlier,
and it appeared
as if you and Harvey
were at each others' throats.
Harvey and I fight
about a lot of things.
So what?
So I think Harvey wanted
to beat his former protégé
so badly that he did something
he shouldn't have.
You don't know
what you're talking about.
We were about to lose,
and out of nowhere
evidence shows up
that saves the day.
I think
he created that evidence,
you got upset about it,
and if you don't stop
covering for him, instead
of handling it in-house,
I'll hand him over to the Bar.
Harvey didn't do anything,
and that is all
I'm going to say.
- Then it was you.
- I didn't say that.
It doesn't matter.
I warned you, I will not
tolerate unethical behavior.
You have no proof
I did anything.
I don't care,
because I know you did it.
- Now, pack up your things.
- I'm not packing anything.
Then I'll have them
packed for you,
because as of this second...
you're fired.
