Suits (2011–…): Season 9, Episode 7 - Scenic Route - full transcript

I'm managing partner
That gives me certain rights...

Not anymore.

Effective immediately,
you're stripped of your title

and all the duties
that go with it.

Her being here

might actually make you fight
fair for a change.

How fair do you want
this fight to be?

Anything that
could get us disbarred

or put in prison is off-limits.

You got yourself a deal.

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.

You lied to me.

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.

She is never gonna stop coming.

Zane's name, Louis's title,
Samantha's job.

I don't want to be a part of
doing this to someone's family.

Faye saw me yelling
at Samantha, Donna.

That's how she knew.

I just found out
where my biological father is.



And I was gonna go tomorrow,
but I don't want to go alone.

Well, I could certainly use
a break from Faye.

You'd really go with me?

I'll pick you up in the morning.

Here, I packed you some
breakfast for the road.

Thanks.

Listen, are you sure you're good

with me going on this trip?

Not a lot of women would
want their men doing this.

Harvey, I'm not a lot of women.

- No, you're not.
- And the truth is,

any one of us would be there
for her, but you're

the one who knows what
she's going through the most.

She was abandoned
by her parents.

- I wasn't.
- No, but when it came

to your mother,
you felt like you were.

And you were estranged
from her for a long time.

None of us knows
what that feels like.

Maybe I am
the best man for the job.

As far as I'm concerned,
you're the best man

for any job.

And I love you.

Thanks.

I love you, too.

You're an idiot.

Two full days.

He's gone two full days.

I can sit in his chair,
listen to his records.

I can finally be Harvey Specter,

and no one will ever know.

What the... is this place bugged?

Harvey can't possibly
know I'm in here.

Or can he?

- Hello?
- Hello, this Harvey Specter?

- Maybe. That depends.
- Who's calling?

Have you heard my voice before

or met me in any way,
shape, or form?

- No, but I was hoping to soon.
- This is Ted Tucker.

- The Ted Tucker?
- That's right.

Unless I'm mistaken,
you're the Harvey Specter.

- You bet your ass I am.
- What can I do for you, T-Dog?

As long as it's on the phone,
I'm good to go.

I was hoping that we could meet

on a very important matter.

, yeah. Let's set it up.

Any time after Friday.
I have a cold right now,

so my voice will
be different then, but...

Next week's not
gonna work for me Harvey.

I need to meet with you,
and I need it to be today.

Today? In person.

Uh, no, listen, Ted,
at the moment I'm a little...

- No "at the moment."
- I want to take you to lunch.

And I promise you it'll be
the best lunch you've ever had.

The...

Okay, Ted, can you just
hold on one second, please?

You know what, T-Dog?
I can't make that happen.

But what I can do is I can
send my partner, Louis Litt,

who happens to be an excellent
attorney in his own right.

In fact, when you meet him,
he'll sound just like me.

Harvey, I don't want to meet

with some schlub
I've never heard of.

Now, you want to have the best
lunch you've ever had or not?

Just tell me when and where,
and I'll be there.

What?

Nothing. It's just...

is this your car?

- No, I belong to a car club.
- Why?

It's just this particular car

brings up a lot
of memories for me.

Like what?

For starters, it's
the first car I ever drove.

Is that a good memory
or a bad one?

- Not great.
- You want me to take it back?

I know this trip's
important to you.

It'll only take an hour.

I appreciate the offer, Harvey,

but I just want to get
on the road.

- Let's go.
- Thanks.

- I didn't mean to do it.
- I just threw it over your head.

- You saw.
- I know, Adam.

- It wasn't your fault.
- What are we gonna do?

We're gonna tell him I did it.

- S-S-Samantha...
- Adam, he must've heard it.

He's gonna be down here
in about two seconds.

Just do what I say, okay?

Which one of you did this?

- I did.
- My new car.

My new... car!

Get in the house.

- I did it.
- Adam.

- What did you just say?
- It wasn't her. It was me.

- And it was an accident.
- Get inside.

- But...
- Now!

No. You want to hit someone,
hit me.

I'm the one who lied about it.

Get the hell inside, then.

And, you, if I ever see you
near this car again,

you're gonna wish
you'd never been born.

Living with you,
I bet he already does.

You don't think
I know what you're doing?

Well, I got news for you.

You're not always gonna
be around to protect him.

What's that supposed to mean?

I was gonna save it
so you wouldn't cause

any more trouble, but you're
being reassigned next week.

Now get inside before I give
him what's coming to him.

You ready?

Yeah, let's go.

Donna, I need to know
every piece of business

we have on Reed Communications,

and I need it as
soon as possible.

Louis,
I would love to help you out,

but right now I'm in
the middle of... Oh, my God, wig!

- Donna.
- Louis, what the hell

is on your head?

- This is my Harvey wig.
- Your what, what?

- I'm going to lunch.
- I need to pretend to be Harvey.

This is my wig.
What's the problem?

Countless things, but, Louis,
I'm gonna need you to back up.

Well, how far back
do you need me to go?

Everyone knows Harvey
has great hair.

If I'm gonna pretend to be him,
I need the wig.

Further back than that, Louis.

Like, how about all the way back

to why you need to pretend to
be Harvey in the first place?

- All right.
- I answered Harvey's phone.

And as a prank, for a second,
I pretended to be him.

But, Donna, it ended up being
Ted Tucker on the other end.

He wanted to meet Harvey
for lunch to convince him

to sign him,
and he's only in town one day.

There was nothing I could do.

There was plenty you could do,
like tell him you're not Harvey.

What would be the point of that?

- Louis, look at me.
- You cannot sign him.

The first time he
comes to the office,

- he's gonna figure it out.
- I know that, Donna.

That's why I need
the Reed Communications stuff.

- What are you talking about?
- It is a conflict of interest.

I'm just gonna go to lunch,
show him Reed's agreement,

and explain that
we can't sign him.

Louis,
this is a really bad idea.

Donna, I was Harvey
for two seconds,

and it made me feel like
I have never felt before.

Harvey gets to feel that way
every day of his life.

I just want to feel
that way for one lunch.

Okay, Louis, I will let this go.

But one lunch
and one lunch only.

Oh, and one more thing.

You want me to get rid
of the wig, don't you?

More than anything I've
ever wanted in my entire life.

Mm-mm.

Mr. Specter.

Mr. Specter.

Mr. Specter.

All right.

Mr. Specter.

Harvey Specter in the flesh.

All this for just the two of us?

Well, I didn't know
what you liked,

so I just ordered
the entire menu.

- Of course you did.
- And we can get you anything

you'd like from anywhere
in the state.

- Anything?
- Anything.

Well, that won't be necessary.

I'll just take
the nine most difficult

to find items in Manhattan.

Excellent choices.

And, uh, Mr. Specter, I'm sorry,

but we only have three
of the four most expensive

bottles of champagne
that money can buy.

We, uh, failed
to procure the fourth.

Well, I guess we'll just
have to settle for three.

So I said, "Life is like this."

I like this."

- I'll bet you did.
- Then what happened?

He totally caved,
like they always do.

Oh. Ha ha! Of course he did.

Snails.

- I hear you love basketball.
- Yes, I do.

- Want to talk a little LeBron?
- No, I do not.

Whatever that is.

Like I don't know. Up top!

More champagne, sir?

- Are you out of your.
- Mind, Jeeves?

More everything!

All right, all right, so...

so the next thing I know,

Mike comes out of prison
without a scratch on him,

and I am waiting there
with a limo and his woman.

I mean, who does that?

I do!

Wait a second. Wait a second.

Seriously, Harvey,
I've heard the stories,

but I have just one question.

When you hired Mike Ross,
did you know he was a fraud?

You really want
to know the truth?

You know I do.

You can't handle the truth!

- That's my favorite movie!
- Of course it is, Tucker.

I'm Harvey Specter. Whoo!

What were the other memories?

What?

You were saying this car
brings back a lot of memories.

I'm just wondering
what those memories were.

Let's just say
you're not the only one

who belongs to that car club.

What are you talking about?

Kaldor... he used to drive this
car all the time.

Thought he was so cool.

Why didn't you tell me that?

Now I want to take it back.

I don't want to look
anything like that douche.

- Don't worry, Harvey.
- You do make it look cool.

Besides, I never
actually got to ride in it.

I always wanted to.

Hey, hey, Adam, wake up.

What? What is it...

- Shh, okay.
- We're getting away from here.

And we're getting away from him.

- What?
- What are you talking about?

- We can't just run away.
- We won't be running.

- We'll be driving.
- You took his keys?

He's passed out downstairs.

We'll be miles away before
he even knows what happened.

Samantha, we can't
just steal his car.

Where are we gonna go?

You see this?
It's coming your way.

And the longer we spend
talking about this,

the more time we lose.

It's now or never.

So grab a bag, and let's go.

- So you just stole a car?
- Yeah.

We would've gotten away with it
if we hadn't been pulled over.

What, he woke up
and called the cops?

No, we got pulled over for
the goddamn broken taillight.

Oh, jeez.

It could've been worse.

I ended up with a new family,

and neither of us
had to go back to Ron.

What happened to the little boy?

I don't know.

- You know how it is.
- No, I don't.

And I'm really
sorry that you do.

Well, I have plenty of other
stories for another time.

- Another time?
- Why not right now?

Because I don't love talking
about my childhood.

I can't believe I even
told you this story.

I'm glad you did.

I never actually knew there
was a caring side to you, Eric.

Yeah, it's there.

You just have to get
to know me a little bit.

Truth be told...

as much as, uh, we've gotten
to know each other on this case,

I really wouldn't mind
getting to know you better.

How about you just concentrate
on getting to know those files?

I'll do my best, but, uh...

I'm having trouble concentrating
on anything right about now.

Okay...

I think it's time we talk
about the elephant in the room.

You mean you getting
fired because of me?

I mean why I fabricated that
evidence in the first place.

- I know why you did it.
- You can't stand to lose.

Well, if you know that

and you're always saying
how much alike we are,

I don't understand
why you got so mad at me.

Because I told Mike
we wouldn't cross any lines.

And I know you didn't
make that promise,

and I know our client
wasn't breaking any laws

with the way they
treated those workers.

It's just... What?

Mike's always on me about
about doing the right thing,

and now he's out there
walking the walk,

and the least I owe him

is to think about right
and wrong once in a while.

You really admire him,
don't you?

I don't just
admire him, Samantha.

He went to prison for me.

Talk about somebody
who's got your back.

I get it. I'm sorry.

It's just...

when I went to see him,
he called me "second fiddle."

After that,
all I could see was red.

I shouldn't have
fabricated that evidence.

If I could go back and do it
all over again, I wouldn't.

Okay, then.

So we're good?

We're good.

Louis, what the hell happened?

I just got an engagement
letter from Ted Tucker.

What happened was

it was the greatest
lunch of my life.

I mean, it went perfectly...

right up until I told him we
couldn't sign him as a client

because we had a conflict.

- And then what happened?
- He waived conflict.

- Louis, he can't do that.
- It's not up to him.

- It's up to Reed Communications.
- Not anymore.

- What are you talking about?
- He bought them, Donna.

I was sitting right there.
Pulls out his phone.

Next thing I know,
he buys a Fortune 500 company

just as easy as ordering chicken
pot pie, which he also did.

I mean, they didn't even have
chicken pot pie,

but they brought it to us,

along with nine other
impossible to find things.

You want to know why?
Because I'm Harvey Specter.

But, Louis,
you aren't Harvey Specter,

and you could've told
him that at any time.

Did you hear what I just said?

They brought us chicken pot pie.

Well, now I am bringing
you something else.

The name of Reed Communications'

in-house counsel,
Harold Gunderson.

And he just called me
to set up a meeting with Harvey.

He wants to set up
a late lunch right away.

But I'm stuffed.

How does he eat so much
and stay so thin?

I need a... nap. Louis, focus!

You cannot keep
this charade up any longer.

Harold knows that
you're not Harvey.

So you better think of something
before this whole thing

gets more out of control
than it already is.

Okay.

I think I know
what I'm gonna do.

What?

Thinking like Louis
got me into this.

Thinking like Harvey
is gonna get me out.

Well?

- What do you think?
- Are you serious?

Eric, I told you that
was not a great night for me.

I know, but I...

I thought we could take
a bad memory

and, you know, turn it
into a good one.

- You know what?
- This is a bad idea.

- No, wait.
- Come on, please, please, don't.

S-Samantha, come on, it's our
six-month anniversary, you know?

Please, don't... don't let
whatever car I chose ruin that.

You noticed it was
our six-month anniversary.

Of course I did.

It's been one of the best
six months of my entire life.

- You're such a bullshitter.
- I am, but not about this.

Want me to get a different car?
I'll get a different car.

- You'd really exchange it?
- Yeah, I would.

Go upstairs.
I'll be back in an hour.

- Hey, see that billboard?
- Best burgers in 50 miles.

- Every billboard says that.
- Come on.

Nothing like a good burger
on a road trip.

- It'll take too long.
- I want to get there before dark.

What, do you turn
into a werewolf?

I just want to
get there, Harvey.

All right.

Next gas station we'll fill up,

and I'll get some M&M'S
or something.

That's what you like? M&M'S?

No, I like burgers.

So are you gonna
let me have one,

or are you gonna
give me shit about M&M'S?

Louis, what are you doing here?

Where's Harvey?
I've been calling him all day.

Harvey's not coming,
Harold... I am.

And here's what's gonna happen.

You and I are gonna figure out
a way to tank this deal.

What? Why would we do that?

Because Harvey
doesn't want it anymore.

But he just had lunch
with Ted, like, three hours ago

when they came up
with this whole thing.

Why would he change his mind?

I'll tell you why.

Because Harvey wasn't feeling
himself today.

So what, I'm supposed
to just roll over for a man

who doesn't even have the
courtesy to come see me himself?

- God damn it, Harold.
- I don't like this either.

He clearly thinks so little
of you that you're not

worth his time,
but thinks so little of me

that you are worth my time.

Wait, did that track?
Yeah, it does.

Well, if you're so pissed
about it, then why'd you come?

What are you, an asshole?

No one says no
to Harvey Specter,

least of all you, and don't you
dare show your face

in our offices today
looking for him,

or by God,
he will have me throw you out.

Louis, what happened
to you, man?

Are you his partner
or his lackey?

You know what, Harold?

As far as you're concerned, I'm
not his partner or his lackey.

I am Harvey Specter.

So you sign this cancellation,

you get it back
to us by tomorrow,

or I will take
that gun from your bluff,

or I will call your hand,

or I will take 146 other guns,

and I will fire
them at your face.

Nailed that shit.

- Alex, do you have a second?
- Of course.

- What can I do for you?
- It's about Gavin Andrews.

Donna, as far as I know,

Gavin Andrews is in
a federal courthouse right now,

largely because of me.

I don't think I'm gonna
be able to get a hold of him.

Then it's a good thing
I don't need Gavin.

I need whoever does his
dirty work in the art world.

Am I gonna have
to guess what this is about,

- or are you gonna tell me?
- I need one of these.

And I need it to be perfect.

Donna, if you're asking
what I think you're asking,

- is this legal?
- It is.

Well, it may be legal,
but it isn't gonna be easy.

Tell you one thing, it's
gonna be a hell of a lot easier

than what I'm gonna
do with it once I get it.

Oh, and did I mention that
I need it done in 24 hours?

24 hours?

Good Lord, woman.
Do I look like a wizard to you?

A wizard in a very fine suit.

Come on, Alex. I'll owe you one.

An all-access favor
from Donna Paulsen.

- Tough to turn down.
- Excellent.

But I'm gonna go ahead
and ask for two.

Nobody gets two.

- Okay, I'll give you two.
- Look at that.

I am a wizard.
I turned one favor into two.

Just get it done, Gandalf.

- You know who Gandalf is?
- I know who everybody is.

Hello?

Harvey, it's Harold Gunderson.

Harold who?

Gunderson.

How many Harold's do you know?

I didn't think I knew any.

I worked at your firm
for three years?

- Uh-huh.
- Let me ask you something.

How'd you get
my personal number?

Doesn't matter, Harvey.

What matters
is you're running scared,

and I'm telling you it's time
to face up like a man.

- I'm sorry.
- What did you just say?

I know you sent Louis
to run interference on me

because you think Ted Tucker's
overpaying for us.

Back up a second, Harold.

It sounds like
you're a little mixed up.

Am I? I know you had lunch
with Tucker today.

Louis admitted as much
when he came to me

and said as far as I'm
concerned, he's you.

- He said what?
- He said he was you.

But I don't care about him.
I care about you.

And what you're going to do
is go back to your office

so we can settle this.

Harold, I do things
on my schedule.

So I'll be back when I'm back.

And unless you want that
to happen six months from now,

you're gonna tell me everything
that Louis said,

and you're not gonna leave out
one word.

You look happy.

They must've had
plain and peanut M&M'S.

I just got the strangest call.

What?

I think Louis
is pretending to be me.

- You're kidding.
- I'm not.

In fact, I don't just think it.

He is 100% running around town
pretending to be me.

And how does that make you feel?

To tell you the truth,
it might be one

of the funniest things
I've ever heard.

What is it with you two?

When I found out Katrina
was pretending to be me,

I wanted to kill her.

You look like you want
to give him an Emmy.

Believe me...
There have been plenty of times

I wanted to kill Louis.

I put him through
a table a few years ago.

You did? Why?

- I don't want to get into it.
- Oh, come on.

He found out
I slept with his sister.

You slept with Louis's sister?

She doesn't look
anything like him, I swear.

Wait, let me get this straight.

Not only did you sleep with
his sister,

you beat him up because you
slept with his sister?

It's complicated math,
but it adds up... trust me.

Well, as I see it, Louis is
jealous of you,

in love with you,
and intimidated by you

all at the same time.

Well, there's
a headline from 1996.

Well, here's a headline
maybe you don't know.

When I first met you,
I was intimidated by you.

- You're kidding.
- No.

You're a legend, Harvey.
I'm not.

I thought maybe I was as good
as you, but I didn't know.

Well, I'm not gonna admit
that you're as good as me,

but I'm not gonna
say you're not.

So... what are you
gonna do about Louis?

What you do say
we have some fun?

Okay.

Okay, I took care of Harold.

Now, what would Harvey do?
What would Harvey do?

What would Harvey do?

Oh, God. Maybe it's a sign.

- Hello?
- Is this Harvey Specter?

I need to speak
to him immediately.

- Yeah, this is Harvey.
- Is this something for Ted?

- No, sir.
- I work for Harold Gunderson.

I just wanted to let you
know he's on his way over.

- Here?
- Yes, to your offices.

He's actually getting
off the elevator.

Well, he can't see me in here.

In fact, I'm not here.

I don't know what
that means, sir,

but he's walking towards
your offices as we speak.

Well, I know I said I'm not
here, but I can't see him.

I don't know
what to tell you, sir.

He's ten feet from you.
Five feet, three feet.

He's right outside your door.

- How can you know that?
- Oh, I'm sorry.

He's on the wrong floor.

Oh, thank God.

- Nope, wrong again.
- Headed straight for you.

God damn it, make up your mind.

Should we let him off the hook?

- Hello?
- Oh, my God, we better.

I could see Louis
jumping out the window.

I thought
our windows didn't open.

That won't stop him.

He's got super strength
when he's cornered.

- Hello?
- Have you ever seen

a badger fight a tiger?

Has a badger
ever fought a tiger?

I'll tell you that in a minute.

What are you guys doing...
Making sandwiches?

- Louis, it's Harvey.
- Harold's not coming over there.

- He's not?
- He's not.

What the... are you
doing with his secretary?

- That wasn't his secretary.
- That was Samantha.

She was pretending
to be his secretary,

just like you've been
pretending to be me.

Where would you get that idea?

- Louis, come on.
- All right, Harvey.

I'm sorry.
I should not have done it.

I mean, one thing
led to another.

Now I don't have a way out.

- Louis, whoever it is...
- you just got to come clean.

Okay, Harvey, I will.

That was pretty kind of you...

I mean, after we almost caused
the poor man to have a stroke.

Hey, if you can't do something

to cause Louis to have a stroke
once in a while,

what's the purpose of living?

Hey, look at that...
Scenic route.

What do you say we take it
to the next exit?

I'd really rather not, Harvey.

Oh, come on, it'll be fun.

Okay, one exit.

Katrina... Good. You're here.

I need to know what
kind of connections you have

in the art world
because mine just dried up.

And what makes
you think I even have

connections in the art world?

Because you have
clients in fashion

and friends in ballet.

Art didn't seem
like much of a stretch.

Okay, fine. I just didn't want
to be pigeon-holed.

What do you need?

I need a perfect copy of this,

and I need it
in less than a day.

This isn't going to be easy.

- I know, but it's personal.
- It's for Donna.

And the fact that she's willing
to give me two favors for it

means it's important.

- Hold on.
- Donna gave you two favors?

She did.

Well, if I help you,
I want one of those favors.

I'll give you half of one,
and that's my final offer.

You can split a favor in half.

Sure I can. I'm Gandalf.

- What's a "Dandalf"?
- With a G.

You've never heard of Gandalf?

Alex, you know
I'm not a sports fan.

Now, why don't
we stop wasting time

and get to figuring out
how to make this happen?

Maybe we should stop somewhere.

No, I want to get as far
away from him as possible.

But you've been driving
for two hours,

and we left in the middle
of the night.

And I'm going to keep driving
until we get to the next state.

Oh, shit.

What are we gonna do?

Whatever story I say,
just follow it.

I'm scared.

It'll be okay.

- Oh, damn.
- What the hell was that?

I think we hit
some kind of hole.

God damn it.

- How bad is it?
- It's not good.

The tire's done.

Oh, shit.

What now?

There's no jack.

Son of a bitch!

- It's all right.
- I'll text Triple-A.

They'll be here within an hour.

Okay, but the next time I say

I don't want to take
the scenic route,

we're not taking
the... scenic route.

Louis, what are you doing here?

I'm here to come clean.

Let me guess...
You're pretending to be Harvey

and Ted Tucker doesn't know it?

How did you know?

After I talked to Harvey,

something just
didn't seem to add up,

so I called Tucker's office,

and I asked him
to describe Harvey.

And unless he shrunk
5 inches, put on 20 pounds,

and his teeth doubled
in size, it was you.

What I want to know is, why?

Harold...

If you found a million dollars
in a duffle bag,

would you do the right thing,
or would you take it and run?

A chance to be Harvey Specter
fell in my lap, and I took it.

But I can't let Tucker find out,

which is why I'm asking you

to play along
for just one meeting.

Why should I?

- Because you owe me.
- I got you out of prison.

You did that for Mike just as
much as you did that for me.

Well, then I'll owe you one.

- Not good enough.
- God damn it, Harold.

In the last six months,
Robert Zane's name came down,

I have a special master
installed in my firm,

and I lost managing partner.

All I wanted was to get
out of my own life

and enjoy myself for one day.

Please, Harold.

I need this.

Okay, fine.

I'll go along with it,
but you owe me one.

All right, all right, all right.

I got us some new...
Some new fresh wine,

'cause that old wine...
I hated that old stuff.

It was... it's from the Jerk.

- You're a jerk.
- Yes, I am.

But I'm your jerk, baby.

Mm...

I want to, uh,
talk to you about something.

What?

Oh... I'm done.

- What?
- I want to leave my wife.

What about your children?

Because if you think
you can leave and it's not

gonna mess them up
for the rest of their lives,

then you don't know anything.

Wait, if you didn't think
I was gonna leave,

what have we been doing
this whole time?

I guess I'd have to say

we've been making
a huge mistake.

What did you think would happen?

I didn't think that far.

But you want to break up
your family over this?

What kind of a man would do that
to his own kids?

You're just as much a part
of this as I am, all right?

So, you know,
what kind of woman would?

I don't know.

Whatever kind it is,
I'm not gonna do it anymore.

- Oh, Samantha, whoa, whoa.
- Come on.

Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Come on, God damn it.

I planned this entire
weekend, all right?

I-if you don't to do this,
it's fine, all right?

That doesn't mean it has to end.

Yes, Eric, it does.

Wait, come on, Samantha.

- Please.
- Don't! Don't touch me!

This was always a fling for me,
and now it is over.

All right,
I see what's going on here.

This is not about me
being a bad father to my kids.

This is about me
being a bad father to you.

What did you say?

You've been using me to be
the daddy that you never had,

but now that
I'm not living up to it...

- Get the hell out.
- Is Robert next?

Or has that happened already?

If you don't leave
in five seconds,

somebody's gonna get hurt,
and it's not gonna be me.

Yeah, good luck
getting a ride home.

I can't believe this.

I never should've agreed
to come in this car.

First Kaldor tries to get me
to go with him in it, now you.

Wait a second.

What do you mean he tried
to get you to go with him?

- With him where?
- Nothing, never mind.

No, something's up with you two.

Whenever we go up against him,
you are hell-bent on winning.

I'm always hell-bent on winning.

You said it yourself.

Well, I also know
when someone's not telling me

the full story, and...

It's happening right now.

- We were together, okay?
- What do you mean "together"?

One-time thing?

No, Harvey,
not a one-time thing.

And he had a family, and...

I have a terrible history
with men.

Of course you do...
'cause of your childhood.

What are you talking about?

Deep down, for years,

I knew I wanted to be
with Donna.

Just couldn't access it.

Why not?

Because of the shit that comes

from having a... up childhood.

What happened to you?

My mom cheated on my dad
for most of my life.

I knew it, and I kept
it a secret from him.

Jesus, that might be worse
than having no parents at all.

- Thanks.
- I didn't mean it that way.

I know.

Shit.

What?

Text didn't go through.

Are you shitting me?

There's not a good signal here.

I'm just gonna walk up the road.

- You ready?
- I am.

Good. All you have to do...

You go in there,
you refuse to come to terms,

and it'll all be over.

That's not what
I'm ready for, Louis.

You see, I realized
that a favor from Harvey

is definitely better
than a favor from you.

What do you want?

I want an all-purpose IOU
from him,

good any minute of any day.

I can't promise you
he'll do that.

Well, then you better get him
on the phone,

because in two minutes,
I tell Tucker the truth.

- Then do it.
- What?

You heard me. This is enough.

I did what I did,
and I am not ashamed.

So you go in there
and you tell him, or you don't,

but I'm not gonna be bullied
by the likes of you, Harold.

Okay, fine,
I'll go along with it,

but under one condition.

- I want to come home.
- What do you mean "home"?

I don't even know
where you're from.

- Yes, you do. I'm from here.
- I want to come back.

Is this a trick?

You gonna change
your mind again?

No, Louis, I won't,

because I've never been happier
than when I was here.

I'll think about it, Harold.

But what I got to do right now

is go in there and end
this thing once and for all.

Hey.

- Hey, how's it going?
- How's the trip?

Well, at the moment,

Samantha's about 50 yards
down the road.

We're stopped with a flat tire,

and we're waiting
for Triple-A to come.

- You're kidding me.
- I'm not.

And on top of that,
she thinks it's my fault.

- Is it?
- Yes, but you know

I don't like being held
accountable for my actions.

I'm sorry it's not
going great, Harvey.

The truth is,
it hasn't been easy, but...

it's been good.

Good.

I miss you.

I miss you, too.

Well, what'd they say?

Holy shit, I forgot to call.

Are you... kidding me?

I was about to call,
but then Donna called me,

and I was telling her what
a good time we were having.

- Damn it, Harvey.
- This isn't a good time.

This is a mission,

and I don't want to stop
for burgers,

and I don't want to take
the scenic route.

And now we're stuck
in the middle of nowhere

because you made us
do all of that.

And instead of getting us
out of here

so I can be there tonight,
you're doing... nothing!

Samantha...

I'm afraid, Harvey.

I'm afraid to see him,
and now I...

now I just want to go home.

Of course you're afraid.

You don't know
what he'll be like.

No.

I'm afraid
because I know what he did.

He gave me up.

And the childhood I had...

I wouldn't wish
on my worst enemy.

Samantha...

you said that you'd be
better off with no parent

than one like my mom,
but you're wrong,

because I forgave her and I'm
better for it and so is she.

And you owe it...
I don't owe him anything.

I was gonna say
you owe it to yourself.

This isn't about him.

This is about you.

I used to tell myself
that he had to give me up,

that if he could,
he would've kept me.

That he wanted to,
he just couldn't.

What if that wasn't true then
and it isn't true now?

Then you'll know.

But right now we're gonna
call Triple-A together,

and we're gonna drive
as long as it takes

to get there because...

I'm not letting you down.

You ready?

I'm ready.

I'll be right here.

- Jeff Gardner?
- Yeah?

My name is Samantha Wheeler.

I'm your daughter.

Samantha,
my name is Judy O'Brien.

Please... have a seat.

- Let me guess.
- You're here to reassign us.

I don't work
for Protective Services.

I'm a foster parent,
and I promise...

if you come stay with me,
you'll be glad you did.

Why would you want a kid like me

who just stole a car
and kidnapped another kid?

Because there's always a reason.

Tell me why you ran away.

No.

This is a trap.
I'm not falling for it.

Listen to me.

I've seen kids like you.

Half of them make it.

Half of them don't.

But the ones that don't
didn't trust anyone.

This is your chance, Samantha.

Please take it.

So how'd it go?

He never even knew I existed.

- How is that possible?
- It was a fling.

He and my mother knew each
other for all of a few months.

She left the state and never
even told him she was pregnant.

How did he react to the news
that he had a daughter?

He said he doesn't know what
he would've done at the time,

but he wishes he would've known.

And your mom?

Evidently she was strong-willed,

didn't take shit from anybody...

and for better or worse,
she did things her own way.

Sure doesn't sound
like anybody I know.

I guess that means
he doesn't know

where she is now.

She passed away when I was two.

That was the last
he heard of her.

They must've taken me
when she died.

Which means nobody
gave you up at all.

No, they didn't,
but I still have all this anger

inside of me
and nowhere to put it.

Maybe you don't have
to put it anywhere.

Maybe you can just let it go.

Would you have
been able to do that?

I don't know.

In my situation...

I didn't think
I could until I did.

Excuse me.

I have a delivery
for one Donna Paulsen.

Thank you, Alex.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I got to go do my thing.

Before you do, do you mind
if I ask why you're doing this?

Among other things,
Harvey's been out of town,

and it just made me appreciate

how much I love it
when he's here.

You wanted to get him something.

- Exactly.
- And believe me, this...

is what you give the man
who has everything.

Louis, I was just
looking for you.

Is there a reason

we're offering
Harold Gunderson a job again?

Yes, there is.

It's complicated,

and I don't feel like going
into it right now.

Does it have something to do
with the fact

that you had to hire him
because you've been pretending

to be Harvey?

- How did you know?
- I have my sources.

Well, it does have to do
with that, and it doesn't.

What does that mean?

It means I didn't hire him

to get out of it,
but I did get out of it.

You mind if I ask how?

By doing what I should've
done in the first place.

I told Tucker that I am not
Harvey Specter, I am Louis Litt,

and I got him a better deal
than Harvey ever could have,

because Harvey may be
the best closer in the city...

but I'm the best
everything else.

- What did he say to that?
- He said he'd sign.

That's pretty good.

I just had to realize that
it's great being Harvey, but...

I'd rather be me.

- You're home.
- I am.

Good.

- I got you a present.
- Wait a second.

Aren't I the one that's supposed
to bring you something?

- Did you?
- No.

Carry on.

It's okay.

What I got us is as much
for me as it is for you

because I get to see
the look on your face.

I don't understand.

How?

Let's just say
Alex found a forger.

- The forger is perfect.
- I mean, this is perfect.

You're perfect.

I'm better than perfect...

because I didn't give
you the forgery, Harvey.

It's hanging
in Elliott Stemple's office

as we speak.

- You're kidding.
- Nope.

I "Thomas Crown Affair" -ed
that shit.

Or did I?

Seriously, Donna, is this it?

Yes. Or is it?

Stop it.

I love you, Harvey.

You're the real thing.

And so is this.

What's going on?

Nothing. I just need to call.

- I know who you need to call.
- I'll be in the bedroom.

Hello?

Mom, it's me.

- What's going on?
- It's late. Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.
- I was just thinking about you.

Do you remember the time we won
the Little League championship?

Of course I do.

You pitched five innings,
played shortstop,

and hit two doubles.

A mother remembers these things.

Then I'm sure you'll
remember I walked off the field,

and it was supposed
to be you and Dad, and...

He wasn't there.

I was so mad at you
for telling me he'd be there.

You didn't say a thing
except to defend him.

You know,
it never occurred to me

that it was actually his fault.

He wasn't perfect, Harvey,
and neither was I.

But I never held
a grudge against him.

I'm sorry it took me so long
to forgive you.

I let it cover up
any good memories,

and then I wouldn't let us
make any new ones.

- It's okay.
- You're my son, Harvey.

I never stopped loving you.

I love you, Mom.

I love you, too, Harvey.

You still there?
Want to keep talking?

What do you say we just
sit together for a while?

That'd be nice.
