00:00:00,891 --> 00:00:02,142
Previously, on "Suits"...
2
00:00:02,166 --> 00:00:03,800
Which one of my clients
are you after?
3
00:00:03,802 --> 00:00:06,236
Because we both know
you can't have Pfizer.
4
00:00:06,238 --> 00:00:07,505
- Yes, I can.
- Then make me name partner.
5
00:00:07,530 --> 00:00:09,029
You don't just slap
somebody's name on the wall
6
00:00:09,031 --> 00:00:10,050
to get a client.
7
00:00:10,051 --> 00:00:11,899
I'm not just slapping
his name up, Louis.
8
00:00:11,901 --> 00:00:13,334
I'm making a move.
9
00:00:13,334 --> 00:00:15,352
I'm not saying Donna doesn't
deserve a promotion;
10
00:00:15,377 --> 00:00:17,847
I'm just saying making partner
means something.
11
00:00:17,847 --> 00:00:20,031
And I'm concerned that being
one here
12
00:00:20,056 --> 00:00:22,089
won't mean what it used to.
13
00:00:22,091 --> 00:00:23,557
This is an amazing amount of work.
14
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:24,942
I stayed up all night doing it.
15
00:00:24,942 --> 00:00:26,448
But I thought you take the
night shift with your son.
16
00:00:26,448 --> 00:00:28,083
I told my wife she'd have
to take it last night.
17
00:00:28,108 --> 00:00:29,774
I thought you might
need a little relief.
18
00:00:29,776 --> 00:00:31,785
You sure? Support his head.
19
00:00:32,358 --> 00:00:33,133
There we go.
20
00:00:33,133 --> 00:00:35,066
Holy shit. Gordon doesn't
really wanna take over.
21
00:00:35,068 --> 00:00:36,650
He just wants to orchestrate a deal
22
00:00:36,675 --> 00:00:37,941

23
00:00:37,943 --> 00:00:39,343
they vote to merge with Zane,
24
00:00:39,345 --> 00:00:40,878
and we cease to exist.
25
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,356
I just found out
that my two partners
26
00:00:42,381 --> 00:00:44,382
are willing to stab me in the back.
27
00:00:44,382 --> 00:00:46,315
God damn it, Louis.
I'm trying the best I can.
28
00:00:46,317 --> 00:00:47,906
Well, then, try something else,
29
00:00:47,907 --> 00:00:49,937

the paperwork was in order

for your clients to come over
and join our new firm.
34
00:00:57,815 --> 00:00:59,815
I went and saw Andy Forsyth today.

You went to see him about us
moving to Seattle?

If we're ever gonna do

00:01:03,352 --> 00:01:05,497
something like this in our
lives, now is the time.
38
00:01:05,522 --> 00:01:06,880
And what about the wedding?
39
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,013
We could move it up.
40
00:01:08,015 --> 00:01:09,508
If I've learned one thing,
41
00:01:09,508 --> 00:01:11,693
it's that there is nothing
that I can't handle
42
00:01:11,718 --> 00:01:13,226
when I have you by my side.
43
00:01:13,226 --> 00:01:15,026
You're the husband I've
always wanted.
44
00:01:15,028 --> 00:01:17,428
And I can't wait to begin our
adventure together.
45
00:01:18,898 --> 00:01:20,352

00:01:20,377 --> 00:01:22,010

No. No. [laughs]

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

You do owe me. I saved your ass.

Well, you only did
that because we put you

in a terrible position.
61
00:01:51,237 --> 00:01:53,637

I'll tell you what.

Yeah, why?

Because if he didn't tell
me about it,

00:04:04,659 --> 00:04:06,290
he must really not trust me.

put my name up there...

more efficient.
130
00:04:50,406 --> 00:04:52,273
Don't tell me.
We're merging with Zane;

00:04:52,275 --> 00:04:53,374
We have more associates
than we can handle;
132
00:04:53,376 --> 00:04:55,353

who worked at both firms
to cull that herd.
134
00:04:57,690 --> 00:04:59,423

And now I need you to come up

Therefore,
for the sake of firm harmony,
185
00:07:13,842 --> 00:07:16,009
I suggest we start
with conflicts of interest.
186
00:07:16,011 --> 00:07:17,844
- Fine with me.
- Me too.
187
00:07:17,846 --> 00:07:19,994
Great. As you can see,
188
00:07:20,019 --> 00:07:23,284
I've taken
the liberty of suggesting
189
00:07:23,309 --> 00:07:24,724
who drops which client.
190
00:07:24,724 --> 00:07:27,558
And I am confident you'll agree
with all of my proposals
191
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,860
with the exception...
- I'm not dropping Dexterol.
192
00:07:29,862 --> 00:07:31,195
And I'm not dropping Clavatin.
193
00:07:31,197 --> 00:07:32,978
- Exactly.
- Exactly what?
194
00:07:33,131 --> 00:07:34,362
What do you mean, "Exactly what?"
195
00:07:34,362 --> 00:07:36,129
I knew that neither of you
would be willing
196
00:07:36,131 --> 00:07:38,631
to give up those particular
clients. Exactly that.
197
00:07:38,866 --> 00:07:40,452
You mean you don't have
a suggestion?
198
00:07:40,452 --> 00:07:41,752
I have a suggestion.
199
00:07:41,754 --> 00:07:43,507
You drop yours, then the next time
200
00:07:43,532 --> 00:07:45,205
we have a major conflict
I'll drop mine.
201
00:07:45,205 --> 00:07:47,039
You sure about that?
Because the next major conflict
202
00:07:47,041 --> 00:07:48,974
we're gonna have is
who's managing partner.
203
00:07:48,976 --> 00:07:50,575
Then what exactly is your idea?
204
00:07:50,577 --> 00:07:52,010
I say whoever's client billed
205
00:07:52,012 --> 00:07:53,512
the most hours last year stays.
206
00:07:53,514 --> 00:07:54,813
Well, that's pretty damn convenient
207
00:07:54,815 --> 00:07:57,149
because your client went
through a merger
208
00:07:57,151 --> 00:07:58,683
so their billables are inflated.
209
00:07:58,685 --> 00:08:00,352
You're saying
that the sun got in your eyes
210
00:08:00,354 --> 00:08:01,938
and that's why you dropped
the big pass?
211
00:08:01,963 --> 00:08:03,363
Wait a second, Harvey's right.
212
00:08:03,365 --> 00:08:04,964
- Come again?
- No, not about who to drop.
213
00:08:04,966 --> 00:08:06,766
Your client did just
go through a merger.
214
00:08:06,768 --> 00:08:08,567
They're in a whole new
line of business.
215
00:08:08,567 --> 00:08:11,945
Most of which doesn't conflict
with Clavatin anymore.
216
00:08:11,970 --> 00:08:13,092
Where you going with this?
217
00:08:13,092 --> 00:08:14,528
I'm saying if we can get
either client
218
00:08:14,528 --> 00:08:16,854
to drop the one division
where they still overlap
219
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:18,574
you can keep them both.
220
00:08:20,049 --> 00:08:22,949
Well, in that case
I'll get my client to drop.
221
00:08:22,951 --> 00:08:24,317
It's the least I can do.
222
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:26,053
Oh, no. I'll do the honors.
223
00:08:26,055 --> 00:08:27,954
After all, you welcomed me
into your home.
224
00:08:27,956 --> 00:08:29,890
Why don't we make it
a friendly wager.
225
00:08:29,892 --> 00:08:31,668
We each get our client to drop.
226
00:08:31,693 --> 00:08:33,093
First one who gets there wins.
227
00:08:33,095 --> 00:08:34,691
Sure thing.
228

Bugged is such a distasteful word.

about my methods

managing partner.

I know good
and well what he's after.
252
00:09:27,219 --> 00:09:28,952

him ammunition?

this is gonna be fun.

than you thought.
256
00:09:36,019 --> 00:09:37,619

you're just gonna prove

to be in your office than you.

350
00:13:27,777 --> 00:13:29,353
Jeremy Stiller.
351
00:13:29,353 --> 00:13:31,387
- Who are you?
- I work for Robert Zane.
352
00:13:31,389 --> 00:13:33,871
Ah. Well, I'm sorry
Ms. Works for Robert Zane,
353
00:13:33,896 --> 00:13:35,095
but this is private property.
354
00:13:35,095 --> 00:13:36,661
I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
355
00:13:36,663 --> 00:13:38,797
I have to say,
it almost feels like you knew
356
00:13:38,799 --> 00:13:40,198
this encounter would happen.
357
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,967
That's because
Alex Williams told me
358
00:13:41,969 --> 00:13:43,735
a man named Sam Wheeler
would be coming.
359
00:13:43,737 --> 00:13:45,570
Which means he was
resourceful enough
360
00:13:45,572 --> 00:13:47,554
to find out my name but
didn't have enough imagination
361
00:13:47,579 --> 00:13:48,999
to think I might be a woman.
362
00:13:48,999 --> 00:13:49,968
Well, he had enough imagination
363
00:13:49,968 --> 00:13:51,268
to tell me not to take your call.
364
00:13:51,268 --> 00:13:52,567
And he only did that
because he's afraid
365
00:13:52,569 --> 00:13:53,768
you might like what I have to say.
366
00:13:53,770 --> 00:13:55,670
Well, I don't. Even if I did,
367
00:13:55,672 --> 00:13:56,838
I'm loyal to Specter Litt.
368
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,473
Look, I'm sorry.
369
00:13:58,475 --> 00:13:59,808
Clearly we got off
on the wrong foot, but I...
370
00:13:59,810 --> 00:14:01,336
We did. Now if you don't mind,
371
00:14:01,361 --> 00:14:02,958
I have work to do.
372
00:14:06,821 --> 00:14:08,366
I grew up poor.
373
00:14:08,523 --> 00:14:10,256
We lived on a farm
and my only chance
374
00:14:10,258 --> 00:14:11,958
of going to college
was to get a scholarship,
375
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,622
which I did.
376
00:14:13,962 --> 00:14:16,729
Sophomore year, the company
that funded my scholarship
377
00:14:16,731 --> 00:14:18,464
went out of business.
378
00:14:18,466 --> 00:14:20,095
So I had a choice.
379
00:14:20,401 --> 00:14:23,302
Do it myself,
or don't do it at all.
380
00:14:24,868 --> 00:14:28,391
Since then,
I have scratched and clawed
381
00:14:28,391 --> 00:14:30,616
for everything I have ever had.
382
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,760
Why are you telling me this?
383
00:14:32,762 --> 00:14:34,358
Because the details were different
384
00:14:34,383 --> 00:14:36,650
but I know the same thing
happened to you.
385
00:14:38,521 --> 00:14:39,948
Please.
386
00:14:40,356 --> 00:14:43,192
All I'm asking
is for you to hear me out.
387
00:14:45,595 --> 00:14:47,228
Okay, I'll hear you out.
388
00:14:47,318 --> 00:14:49,484
But there's no way
I'm dropping my business.
389
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:55,192
Donna, do you have a minute?
390
00:14:55,233 --> 00:14:56,460
Does this have to do
with the associates
391
00:14:56,460 --> 00:14:57,827
- we're letting go?
- It does.
392
00:14:57,829 --> 00:14:59,195
And since I understand
you'll be doing
393
00:14:59,197 --> 00:15:00,496
exit interviews with them,
394
00:15:00,498 --> 00:15:02,112
I thought you should know
who's going.
395
00:15:03,055 --> 00:15:04,400
That's funny.
396
00:15:04,502 --> 00:15:06,135
That's not what I thought
you'd be asking.
397
00:15:06,137 --> 00:15:07,312
What do you mean?
398
00:15:07,605 --> 00:15:09,876
Katrina, are you sure you're
going to be okay
399
00:15:09,901 --> 00:15:12,168
firing people you've worked
with for years?
400
00:15:12,170 --> 00:15:14,136
I mean, I know you value
you the firm, but this...
401
00:15:14,138 --> 00:15:15,834
I know it isn't going
to be easy, Donna.
402
00:15:15,834 --> 00:15:17,860
I was once let go from here too,
403
00:15:17,861 --> 00:15:20,119
but I'll tell you
what I told Louis.
404
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,920
That if I'm going
to grow in my role here
405
00:15:21,922 --> 00:15:23,788
this is something I'm going
to have to learn to do.
406
00:15:23,790 --> 00:15:25,381
Fair enough.
407
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,188
Hang on a second,
has Louis seen this list?
408
00:15:29,265 --> 00:15:30,146
No, why?
409
00:15:30,146 --> 00:15:31,479
There's a problem with
the first name.
410
00:15:31,481 --> 00:15:33,402
He's not gonna like it.
I know that.
411
00:15:33,427 --> 00:15:35,226
Then I suggest you let him know
412
00:15:35,228 --> 00:15:36,394
before you pull the trigger.
413
00:15:36,396 --> 00:15:38,852
- I can't do that.
- Why not?
414
00:15:38,877 --> 00:15:41,153
Because this process
is supposed to be impartial.
415
00:15:41,153 --> 00:15:42,786
And if I tell Louis
who I'm going to fire
416
00:15:42,788 --> 00:15:45,111
just because he won't like
one of the names on the list...
417
00:15:45,136 --> 00:15:46,542
What won't I like?
418
00:15:48,796 --> 00:15:51,694
Louis, Katrina was
just informing me
419
00:15:51,719 --> 00:15:53,234
that it's not a good idea for you...
420
00:15:53,235 --> 00:15:53,880
What name?
421
00:15:55,471 --> 00:15:56,355
- Brian.
- Nope.
422
00:15:56,355 --> 00:15:57,772
- Louis.
- Donna, this is between
423
00:15:57,797 --> 00:15:58,897
Katrina and me.
424
00:15:58,899 --> 00:16:00,098
No, Louis, it isn't.
425
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:02,333
This is about the firm
and its integrity.
426
00:16:02,335 --> 00:16:04,376
You asked me to come up with
an objective metric
427
00:16:04,401 --> 00:16:06,673
and by that metric,
Brian Altman has to go.
428
00:16:06,673 --> 00:16:08,350
- So change the metric.
- I can't do that.
429
00:16:08,350 --> 00:16:09,997
And even if I could
he'd be just as likely
430
00:16:10,022 --> 00:16:11,183
to go down as go up.
431
00:16:11,183 --> 00:16:12,689
I understand that,
but I don't give a shit.
432
00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:13,723
- Anyone but Brian.
- Louis...
433
00:16:13,725 --> 00:16:14,957
Katrina, listen to me.
434
00:16:14,959 --> 00:16:16,559
You asked for this responsibility
435
00:16:16,561 --> 00:16:18,361
so I gave it to you.
So now I am telling you
436
00:16:18,363 --> 00:16:20,060
to find a way to keep him.
437
00:16:21,406 --> 00:16:24,140
Okay, Louis.
I'll see what I can do.
438
00:16:30,968 --> 00:16:32,501
Harvey, we need to talk.
439
00:16:32,503 --> 00:16:33,636
Don't tell me, there's a problem.
440
00:16:33,638 --> 00:16:34,904
- There is.
- What is it now?
441
00:16:34,906 --> 00:16:36,265
It's not that big of a deal,
442
00:16:36,265 --> 00:16:38,233
but you're gonna have
to figure out what font to use
443
00:16:38,258 --> 00:16:39,613
to put my name on the letterhead.
444
00:16:39,613 --> 00:16:41,679
Because as of 2:00 p.m. today,
Robert Zane's client
445
00:16:41,681 --> 00:16:43,892
is officially dropping their
manufacturing division.
446
00:16:43,917 --> 00:16:44,928
You telling me you did it?
447
00:16:44,928 --> 00:16:46,427
Signed, sealed,
and delivered, my man.
448
00:16:46,429 --> 00:16:47,762
Now let's get down
to figuring out...
449
00:16:47,764 --> 00:16:50,859
- What?
- How to counter my last move?
450
00:16:51,062 --> 00:16:52,828
Because you may have
them signed and sealed
451
00:16:52,830 --> 00:16:54,230
but I'm here to tell you
your delivery
452
00:16:54,232 --> 00:16:55,618
got lost on the way.
453
00:16:55,618 --> 00:16:57,645
- Who the hell are you?
- Her name is Sam Wheeler.
454
00:16:57,645 --> 00:16:59,498
Truth be told, Alex,
I prefer Samantha.
455
00:16:59,594 --> 00:17:00,884
You two know each other?
456
00:17:00,884 --> 00:17:02,584
No, but it doesn't
take a genius to figure
457
00:17:02,586 --> 00:17:04,119
- out she's Zane's guy.
- He didn't figure it out.
458
00:17:04,121 --> 00:17:06,588
What I figured out is,
whoever you are,
459
00:17:06,590 --> 00:17:08,323
if you think you can waltz
into my office...
460
00:17:08,325 --> 00:17:09,758
- Harvey, I got it.
- Do you?
461
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,216
Because unless
I'm misreading the situation,
462
00:17:12,241 --> 00:17:13,814
- she's saying you don't.
- Harvey.
463
00:17:13,814 --> 00:17:16,862
You know what, you two are
obviously having some trouble.
464
00:17:16,887 --> 00:17:18,590
The good news is
you'll have plenty of time
465
00:17:18,590 --> 00:17:21,357
to work it out because
as of end of business today,
466
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,394
your client is dropping
their manufacturing division.
467
00:17:24,396 --> 00:17:25,895
And we can get back
to the business of running
468
00:17:25,897 --> 00:17:28,698
this firm under
the direction of Robert Zane.
469
00:17:28,975 --> 00:17:32,176
You two have a nice... [scoffs]
You know I don't mean it.
470
00:17:35,665 --> 00:17:36,775
No.
471
00:17:37,609 --> 00:17:39,576
- What do you mean, no?
- I mean this is my fight.
472
00:17:39,578 --> 00:17:41,443
You asked me to fight it,
and I'm not gonna
473
00:17:41,443 --> 00:17:42,776
let you step into
the middle of round two.
474
00:17:42,778 --> 00:17:44,411
It may be the middle of round two,
475
00:17:44,413 --> 00:17:46,546
but you just told me you got
a first round knock-out.
476
00:17:46,548 --> 00:17:48,615
Well, I was wrong.
But I'm still in the ring,
477
00:17:48,617 --> 00:17:50,693
my partnership's on the line,
and I'm not getting out.
478
00:17:50,718 --> 00:17:53,358
- Then you better win.
- Where you going?
479
00:17:53,721 --> 00:17:56,359
To pick a fight
in my own weight class.
480
00:18:00,988 --> 00:18:03,488
Robert, how are you?
Settling in all right?
481
00:18:03,490 --> 00:18:05,457
Doing just fine, thanks for asking.
482
00:18:05,459 --> 00:18:06,825
What can I do for you?
483
00:18:06,827 --> 00:18:08,594
I just dropped by to tell you I had
484
00:18:08,596 --> 00:18:10,462
an interesting conversation
with your girl, Sam.
485
00:18:10,464 --> 00:18:12,865
[laughs] She's kicking
your ass, isn't she?
486
00:18:13,070 --> 00:18:14,702
Not mine. Since neither of you
487
00:18:14,704 --> 00:18:16,290
had the balls to invite
me into the ring.
488
00:18:16,315 --> 00:18:17,719
Just like you didn't invite me.
489
00:18:17,719 --> 00:18:20,231
And don't give me any of this
nonsense about we had a deal.
490
00:18:20,232 --> 00:18:21,998
Because you broke it
just as fast as I did.
491
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,632
I did, but my issue isn't
492
00:18:23,632 --> 00:18:25,099
that she's fighting
your battles for you.
493
00:18:25,101 --> 00:18:26,767
It's that she walked
into my office like
494
00:18:26,769 --> 00:18:29,007
I wasn't the managing partner
of this firm.
495
00:18:29,077 --> 00:18:30,743
And I didn't like
the way she introduced herself
496
00:18:30,745 --> 00:18:32,045
to me either.
497
00:18:32,047 --> 00:18:33,980
But that's not what your issue is.
498
00:18:33,982 --> 00:18:34,973
You're pissed.
499
00:18:35,254 --> 00:18:37,488
Because I didn't get in
the ring myself.
500
00:18:37,731 --> 00:18:39,772
Because if I'm not in there,
you're not in there.
501
00:18:39,797 --> 00:18:41,624
And you can't stand not
being in there.
502
00:18:41,624 --> 00:18:43,554
Are you saying
I always have to shoot?
503
00:18:43,579 --> 00:18:45,079
Because I'm fine passing the ball.
504
00:18:45,081 --> 00:18:46,614
I'm talking about being a coach.
505
00:18:46,616 --> 00:18:48,649
And if you were one,
you wouldn't mind
506
00:18:48,651 --> 00:18:50,484
just sitting back and watching
Samantha Wheeler
507
00:18:50,486 --> 00:18:51,886
eat your boy for breakfast.
508
00:18:51,888 --> 00:18:53,053
And if you think
that's gonna happen,
509
00:18:53,055 --> 00:18:54,655
you don't know Alex Williams.
510
00:18:54,657 --> 00:18:56,361
Oh, I know that's what's
gonna happen.
511
00:18:56,911 --> 00:18:59,245
And the person you don't know
is Harvey Specter.
512
00:18:59,247 --> 00:19:00,580
I know myself just fine.
513
00:19:00,580 --> 00:19:02,347
Then tell me you'll stay
the hell out of this.
514
00:19:02,349 --> 00:19:05,246
No problem, I just gave
Alex my word I'd stay out.
515
00:19:05,247 --> 00:19:06,980
And what kind of
managing partner would I be
516
00:19:06,982 --> 00:19:08,181
if I couldn't live up to my word.
517
00:19:08,183 --> 00:19:09,718
Because,
just so we're clear, Robert,
518
00:19:09,718 --> 00:19:12,473
- I am managing partner.
- Whatever you say, Harvey.
519
00:19:12,613 --> 00:19:14,127
But remember, you didn't only
520
00:19:14,127 --> 00:19:16,160
give your word
to Alex Williams anymore.
521
00:19:16,162 --> 00:19:18,763
You just gave your word to me.
522
00:19:26,660 --> 00:19:28,961
And the next thing I knew...
523
00:19:30,266 --> 00:19:32,166
There were peas everywhere!
524
00:19:32,168 --> 00:19:36,370
On me, on the wall,
everywhere but in his mouth.
525
00:19:36,372 --> 00:19:39,006
- I'm telling you, it was...
- Disgusting.
526
00:19:40,076 --> 00:19:42,143
I was gonna say adorable, but...
527
00:19:42,145 --> 00:19:43,644
[scoffs]
528
00:19:43,646 --> 00:19:45,213
Anyway, this is nice.
529
00:19:45,215 --> 00:19:47,148
Katrina, I'm glad
you suggested lunch.
530
00:19:47,150 --> 00:19:49,955
So tell me, Brian.
531
00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:52,047
Do you think that having a baby
532
00:19:52,049 --> 00:19:54,130
has made you more productive
in the workplace?
533
00:19:54,244 --> 00:19:56,039
- Are you kidding me?
- I see.
534
00:19:56,039 --> 00:19:57,684
Then what about your efficiency?
535
00:19:57,684 --> 00:20:00,552
I understand children
sometimes necessitate
536
00:20:00,577 --> 00:20:02,026
better time management skills.
537
00:20:02,026 --> 00:20:03,626
For my wife, maybe.
But to tell you the truth,
538
00:20:03,628 --> 00:20:05,128
I'm all over the place.
539
00:20:05,314 --> 00:20:06,430
Then what would you say
540
00:20:06,430 --> 00:20:08,196
are the areas where you do excel?
541
00:20:08,198 --> 00:20:11,066
- With my son?
- No, Brian. At work.
542
00:20:11,869 --> 00:20:13,235
Oh, my God. Am I getting fired?
543
00:20:13,237 --> 00:20:14,970
What? No.
544
00:20:14,972 --> 00:20:16,772
We were just talking about babies,
545
00:20:16,774 --> 00:20:18,040
and it got me thinking...
546
00:20:18,042 --> 00:20:19,975
About my time management skills?
547
00:20:20,107 --> 00:20:22,374
Katrina, don't lie to me.
I've heard the rumors.
548
00:20:22,399 --> 00:20:24,475
Am I one of the ones
being let go from the merger?
549
00:20:24,616 --> 00:20:27,610
You heard right, Brian.
We are making some cuts.
550
00:20:27,610 --> 00:20:29,643
But you should know
the decisions were based
551
00:20:29,645 --> 00:20:31,545
on completely objective data.
552
00:20:31,547 --> 00:20:32,780
Completely objective?
553
00:20:32,782 --> 00:20:34,461
I work my ass off for this firm.
554
00:20:34,486 --> 00:20:36,069
Well, your numbers certainly
don't show that.
555
00:20:36,069 --> 00:20:37,702
- My numbers?
- Yes, your numbers.
556
00:20:37,704 --> 00:20:39,203
The thing that indicates
how hard you work.
557
00:20:39,205 --> 00:20:40,620
I don't believe this.
558
00:20:40,620 --> 00:20:42,984
You know what, maybe people
were right about you.
559
00:20:43,163 --> 00:20:44,396
What does that mean?
560
00:20:44,398 --> 00:20:45,930
It means they say you're cold
561
00:20:45,932 --> 00:20:47,766
and all you care about is your job.
562
00:20:47,768 --> 00:20:50,268
Well, maybe they're right.
Maybe you are a robot.
563
00:20:50,270 --> 00:20:51,903
How dare you say that to me.
564
00:20:51,905 --> 00:20:53,671
How dare I say that to you?
565
00:20:53,673 --> 00:20:55,774
I've been showing you pictures
of my child
566
00:20:55,776 --> 00:20:58,265
and the whole time you've just
been waiting to fire me.
567
00:20:58,290 --> 00:20:59,562
What kind of person would do that?
568
00:20:59,562 --> 00:21:01,829
You know what, the kind of person
569
00:21:01,831 --> 00:21:05,533
who's been trying to figure out
how to save your job.
570
00:21:05,918 --> 00:21:08,051
But I haven't heard one thing
that I can use
571
00:21:08,053 --> 00:21:09,719
to justify keeping you.
572
00:21:09,721 --> 00:21:13,056
So as far as I'm concerned,
you're fired.
573
00:21:19,179 --> 00:21:21,343
Louis,
Can I talk to you for second?
574
00:21:21,468 --> 00:21:22,608
Course, what do you need?
575
00:21:22,608 --> 00:21:23,840
I have something I want
to run by you.
576
00:21:23,842 --> 00:21:25,253
I need to know if you think
it'll work.
577
00:21:25,278 --> 00:21:26,125
What's going on?
578
00:21:26,125 --> 00:21:27,257
Harvey's trying
to get Zane's client
579
00:21:27,259 --> 00:21:28,392
to drop their division, not ours.
580
00:21:28,394 --> 00:21:29,739
And Zane's doing the same thing.
581
00:21:29,739 --> 00:21:31,592
Let me guess,
you're on team Harvey.
582
00:21:31,617 --> 00:21:33,617
- Exactly.
- What's your plan?
583
00:21:46,486 --> 00:21:47,554
Well?
584
00:21:49,293 --> 00:21:50,095
I love it.
585
00:21:50,095 --> 00:21:51,429
You don't think there's an
end around for her
586
00:21:51,429 --> 00:21:52,812
- with an injunction?
- The only way she could do
587
00:21:52,837 --> 00:21:54,203
that if she filed
an ex-parte motion.
588
00:21:54,205 --> 00:21:55,634
Which she can't do retroactively.
589
00:21:55,659 --> 00:21:57,359
Alex, this is brilliant.
590
00:21:57,361 --> 00:22:00,152
- Do you need help filing it?
- No, Louis. I already did.
591
00:22:00,177 --> 00:22:02,552
I was checking to make sure
I didn't miss anything.
592
00:22:03,113 --> 00:22:04,913
Hey, Alex.
593
00:22:04,915 --> 00:22:07,278
Harvey told me that you thought
I was still mad at you
594
00:22:07,303 --> 00:22:09,170
because I didn't come
to you about Zane.
595
00:22:09,172 --> 00:22:11,172
That's not true.
As far as I'm concerned,
596
00:22:11,174 --> 00:22:13,174
you are on our side.
You always will be.
597
00:22:13,176 --> 00:22:16,410
When the time comes,
I'll back you as name partner.
598
00:22:16,824 --> 00:22:18,568
I appreciate that, Louis.
599
00:22:18,903 --> 00:22:20,200
Go get 'em.
600
00:22:29,137 --> 00:22:30,831
Hey, Brian, I was just
about to come...
601
00:22:30,856 --> 00:22:33,190
- See me? Bullshit.
- What do you mean bullshit?
602
00:22:33,192 --> 00:22:35,829
I mean there's no way you
were gonna come see me
603
00:22:35,854 --> 00:22:36,933
because you didn't even
have the balls
604
00:22:36,933 --> 00:22:38,266
to fire me to my face.
605
00:22:38,268 --> 00:22:39,811
What? Brian, nobody's firing you.
606
00:22:39,836 --> 00:22:40,963
You're gonna look me in the eye
607
00:22:40,963 --> 00:22:43,474
and tell me that Katrina
didn't run her numbers
608
00:22:43,499 --> 00:22:46,199
and determine that I don't work
hard enough to serve this firm?
609
00:22:46,201 --> 00:22:47,501
- No, that's not...
- You know what?
610
00:22:47,503 --> 00:22:49,236
If you'd at least come
and told me yourself,
611
00:22:49,238 --> 00:22:51,104
but why should I expect
something like that?
612
00:22:51,106 --> 00:22:53,340
After all, it's not like you
ever held my newborn son.
613
00:22:53,342 --> 00:22:55,776
Brian, please wait.
614
00:22:56,945 --> 00:22:59,746
I told Katrina to find
a way to keep you
615
00:22:59,748 --> 00:23:01,493
because I believe that you
616
00:23:01,493 --> 00:23:03,484
are more than worthy
of serving this firm.
617
00:23:03,607 --> 00:23:06,752
And I do care about you
and that is the truth.
618
00:23:06,752 --> 00:23:08,392
Yeah, well, maybe you did
tell her all that,
619
00:23:08,392 --> 00:23:10,699
but it didn't stop her
from firing me anyway.
620
00:23:10,724 --> 00:23:11,864
- Brian...
- You know what, Louis?
621
00:23:11,864 --> 00:23:13,347
If you need me, I'll be
spending the next two days
622
00:23:13,372 --> 00:23:14,759
getting my files in order.
623
00:23:14,759 --> 00:23:16,992
Because contrary
to Katrina's analysis,
624
00:23:16,994 --> 00:23:20,374
I care about my clients,
and I'm a damn good lawyer.
625
00:23:31,230 --> 00:23:32,426
Louis, before you say...
626
00:23:32,426 --> 00:23:33,899
What the fuck is your problem?
627
00:23:34,105 --> 00:23:36,607
I gave you an order
and you blatantly ignored me.
628
00:23:36,632 --> 00:23:37,471
I didn't ignore you.
629
00:23:37,471 --> 00:23:39,104
Then what do you call firing Brian
630
00:23:39,106 --> 00:23:40,739
when I specifically
told you not to?
631
00:23:40,741 --> 00:23:42,975
Listen to me,
I tried not to fire him.
632
00:23:42,977 --> 00:23:45,577
- I took him to lunch, and we...
- Oh, good, lunch.
633
00:23:45,579 --> 00:23:47,091
I hope the chicken potpie
was delicious.
634
00:23:47,116 --> 00:23:48,382
You still didn't do what I asked.
635
00:23:48,384 --> 00:23:49,551
You know what?
636
00:23:49,743 --> 00:23:51,709
I did do what you originally asked.
637
00:23:51,711 --> 00:23:54,265
To objectively evaluate
the associates.
638
00:23:54,290 --> 00:23:55,560
Not coddle your teacher's pet.
639
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,168
Screw what I originally asked.
640
00:23:57,193 --> 00:23:59,120
I told you to rejigger the metrics
641
00:23:59,145 --> 00:24:00,802
to keep a valued associate.
642
00:24:00,802 --> 00:24:02,890
You think fudging the numbers
wasn't the first thing I tried?
643
00:24:02,915 --> 00:24:04,042
It didn't work.
644
00:24:04,042 --> 00:24:06,575
- He always came out too low.
- I don't care.
645
00:24:06,577 --> 00:24:08,751
Well, I do.
Because I care about this firm.
646
00:24:08,776 --> 00:24:11,091
And what kind of message does
rejiggering the metrics
647
00:24:11,116 --> 00:24:13,950
send to the associates
who work 100 hours a week,
648
00:24:13,952 --> 00:24:16,019
who eat dinner here every night,
649
00:24:16,021 --> 00:24:18,958
who don't even go on dates,
let alone have a baby.
650
00:24:18,958 --> 00:24:21,634
I don't care what message
it sends, Katrina.
651
00:24:21,635 --> 00:24:23,602
Brian is staying.
652
00:24:23,604 --> 00:24:25,637
Then you figure out
who goes instead.
653
00:24:25,639 --> 00:24:27,539
Because I'm not doing something
I don't believe in.
654
00:24:27,541 --> 00:24:31,043
No, Katrina. I told you once
and I'm telling you again.
655
00:24:31,045 --> 00:24:33,979
You asked for this job;
You are doing it.
656
00:24:47,047 --> 00:24:47,973
Harvey.
657
00:24:48,448 --> 00:24:49,714
You need to take a look at this.
658
00:24:49,716 --> 00:24:51,249
- What is it?
- It just came in.
659
00:24:51,251 --> 00:24:53,384
It's a proposed contract
of sale for Clavatin's...
660
00:24:53,386 --> 00:24:55,587
Manufacturing division.
Son of a bitch.
661
00:24:55,589 --> 00:24:56,772
I need to find out where
662
00:24:56,772 --> 00:24:58,879
Judge Thomas is and I
need to find out now.
663
00:24:58,904 --> 00:25:01,202
Harvey, you can't do this
without Alex. It's his case.
664
00:25:01,227 --> 00:25:02,389
Then why the hell are you
665
00:25:02,389 --> 00:25:03,855
the one telling me this
and not him?
666
00:25:03,857 --> 00:25:05,321
Because he's probably out
there fighting
667
00:25:05,346 --> 00:25:06,852
because he thinks he can still win.
668
00:25:06,852 --> 00:25:08,359
Well, he's got one thing right.
669
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,225
We can still win. But he can't.
670
00:25:10,227 --> 00:25:12,227
And if you cut him out,
you won't win either.
671
00:25:12,229 --> 00:25:13,629
You think I can't take
Samantha Wheeler?
672
00:25:13,631 --> 00:25:15,330
I think you said
you'd stay out of it.
673
00:25:15,332 --> 00:25:17,966
And if you take over now
without even telling Alex,
674
00:25:17,968 --> 00:25:20,112
then you can find out where
Judge Thomas is yourself.
675
00:25:20,112 --> 00:25:22,344
Because I'm not gonna help you
tell your own team
676
00:25:22,369 --> 00:25:23,502
that you'll cut them
out just to get
677
00:25:23,504 --> 00:25:25,003
the better of Samantha Wheeler.
678
00:25:25,005 --> 00:25:26,972
Look, you want
to tell Alex what I'm doing?
679
00:25:26,974 --> 00:25:29,408
Go ahead. I am not
about to sit on the sidelines
680
00:25:29,410 --> 00:25:31,410
and watch us lose.
681
00:25:33,002 --> 00:25:34,214
Harvey.
682
00:25:36,299 --> 00:25:38,832
I'm only gonna ask you this once.
683
00:25:40,651 --> 00:25:42,217
Is there a chance you're
that overreacting
684
00:25:42,219 --> 00:25:43,969
to Mike having just left?
685
00:25:44,395 --> 00:25:45,630
I don't know, Donna.
686
00:25:45,630 --> 00:25:47,854
But to tell you the truth,
I don't care.
687
00:25:50,302 --> 00:25:51,416
Okay.
688
00:25:52,103 --> 00:25:53,247
You win.
689
00:25:55,263 --> 00:25:57,730
I'll find out
where Judge Thomas is.
690
00:26:09,209 --> 00:26:10,882
Heavy is the head.
691
00:26:11,746 --> 00:26:14,880
Especially when what has
to be done is unjust.
692
00:26:15,057 --> 00:26:16,223
You still don't think that Brian
693
00:26:16,225 --> 00:26:17,650
deserves to stay, do you?
694
00:26:17,675 --> 00:26:19,175
No, I don't.
695
00:26:19,177 --> 00:26:20,709
And when I told Louis
that it would send
696
00:26:20,711 --> 00:26:22,818
the wrong kind of message
to the people who work
697
00:26:22,819 --> 00:26:25,999
their asses off for this firm
a lot more than Brian,
698
00:26:26,441 --> 00:26:28,175
he said he didn't give a shit.
699
00:26:28,544 --> 00:26:29,542
I see.
700
00:26:30,262 --> 00:26:32,095
And what Louis
didn't understand was
701
00:26:32,097 --> 00:26:34,754
that the people you're talking
about weren't just people.
702
00:26:35,202 --> 00:26:37,246
- It was you.
- How could you...
703
00:26:37,246 --> 00:26:39,179
Because I know what
it's like to give everything
704
00:26:39,181 --> 00:26:40,547
and still be taken for granted.
705
00:26:40,549 --> 00:26:42,249
And for what it's worth,
I think Louis
706
00:26:42,251 --> 00:26:44,234
was wrong to say what he did.
707
00:26:45,257 --> 00:26:47,118
But he isn't wrong about Brian.
708
00:26:47,660 --> 00:26:49,760
- Well, I don't agree.
- I understand that.
709
00:26:49,762 --> 00:26:51,762
Probably has something to do
with why you told Harvey
710
00:26:51,764 --> 00:26:53,597
that I shouldn't
be made partner last year.
711
00:26:53,599 --> 00:26:56,066
- You knew about that?
- I do now.
712
00:26:57,002 --> 00:26:58,368
- Donna, it wasn't...
- Tell me.
713
00:26:58,370 --> 00:27:00,103
You ran all the numbers for Louis,
714
00:27:00,105 --> 00:27:02,661
who are the top five most
efficient associates?
715
00:27:03,507 --> 00:27:07,643
Jesse, Sarah, Ryan, Carl, and Gina.
716
00:27:07,940 --> 00:27:10,104
- Where does Brian sit?
- Right here.
717
00:27:10,104 --> 00:27:12,211
Right here in the center of
those five people?
718
00:27:13,344 --> 00:27:15,354
Do you think that's a coincidence?
719
00:27:16,594 --> 00:27:17,922
- I had...
- Katrina.
720
00:27:17,922 --> 00:27:20,522
What you have yet to learn
is that there are players
721
00:27:20,524 --> 00:27:22,893
who never put up great stats,
but you keep them
722
00:27:22,918 --> 00:27:25,798
around because they make
the people around them better.
723
00:27:25,798 --> 00:27:28,331
Are you talking about Brian or you?
724
00:27:28,333 --> 00:27:30,049
I'm talking about both.
725
00:27:30,636 --> 00:27:32,369
So what do I do?
726
00:27:32,371 --> 00:27:33,678
You do what you said you'd do.
727
00:27:33,678 --> 00:27:35,839
You evaluate the associates.
728
00:27:36,347 --> 00:27:38,857
Only this time, do it better.
729
00:27:41,947 --> 00:27:44,014
I'm sorry, Donna.
730
00:27:46,685 --> 00:27:48,585
I shouldn't have gone to Harvey.
731
00:27:48,587 --> 00:27:50,250
It's okay, Katrina.
732
00:27:50,756 --> 00:27:53,624
COO is where I'm meant to be.
733
00:27:58,814 --> 00:28:00,647
- Harvey.
- Alex,
734
00:28:00,647 --> 00:28:02,901
- before you say anything...
- No, you gave me your word
735
00:28:02,901 --> 00:28:04,321
that you were gonna
stay out of this.
736
00:28:04,321 --> 00:28:06,076
The next thing I know,
you're having a meeting
737
00:28:06,101 --> 00:28:07,187
about my client without me.
738
00:28:07,187 --> 00:28:09,296
- First of all, it's my client.
- And it's my case.
739
00:28:09,321 --> 00:28:10,854
Which you were about to lose.
740
00:28:10,856 --> 00:28:12,227
- It was a setback.
- Bullshit.
741
00:28:12,227 --> 00:28:13,609
You were getting your ass kicked.
742
00:28:13,609 --> 00:28:15,242
- And don't tell me you weren't.
- God damn it, Harvey.
743
00:28:15,244 --> 00:28:17,344
Listen to me, Alex.
This woman is no joke.
744
00:28:17,346 --> 00:28:18,671
You saying I am?
745
00:28:19,081 --> 00:28:21,715
I'm saying I just met with
Judge Thomas,
746
00:28:21,740 --> 00:28:24,457
so I know exactly what
it's gonna take to beat her.
747
00:28:24,457 --> 00:28:27,192
So the hell what? I can play
dirty just as well as you.
748
00:28:27,194 --> 00:28:28,726
Maybe you can,
but I gave you a promise
749
00:28:28,728 --> 00:28:30,461
to put your name on the wall.
750
00:28:30,463 --> 00:28:33,308
And if you play dirty to beat
Robert Zane's right hand,
751
00:28:33,333 --> 00:28:35,266
- it isn't gonna happen.
- You know what I think?
752
00:28:35,268 --> 00:28:36,868
That sounds like some bullshit
by a guy
753
00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:39,118
who's just gonna do what
he wants like he always does.
754
00:28:39,118 --> 00:28:42,369
What I want, Alex,
is to stay managing partner.
755
00:28:42,369 --> 00:28:43,735
This is the way
that's gonna happen.
756
00:28:43,737 --> 00:28:45,203
- Harvey, I...
- That's enough.
757
00:28:45,205 --> 00:28:46,950
I'm taking it from here.
758
00:28:47,307 --> 00:28:48,806
It's done.
759
00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:03,526
Katrina, I've got a lot
on my plate this morning.
760
00:29:03,528 --> 00:29:04,528
So if you don't mind...
761
00:29:04,528 --> 00:29:06,762
You just want your morning
coffee, I know.
762
00:29:07,779 --> 00:29:10,318
Was that part of
your efficiency evaluations?
763
00:29:10,343 --> 00:29:11,891
People's coffee consumption?
764
00:29:12,488 --> 00:29:15,389
Look, Brian, I was wrong about you.
765
00:29:15,391 --> 00:29:17,461
I understand what you do
for the firm
766
00:29:17,486 --> 00:29:19,550
and I'm sorry for
the things I said.
767
00:29:19,988 --> 00:29:22,989
Well, I appreciate that,
but if you're just saying this
768
00:29:22,991 --> 00:29:24,994
- because Louis told you to...
- No, I'm not.
769
00:29:25,394 --> 00:29:27,144
And he didn't.
770
00:29:28,964 --> 00:29:30,509
Then why are you saying it?
771
00:29:30,899 --> 00:29:32,805
Because I took
this assignment hoping
772
00:29:32,830 --> 00:29:34,183
that it would help me grow.
773
00:29:34,183 --> 00:29:36,751
And if I can't ask for help
when I need it,
774
00:29:36,776 --> 00:29:39,477
then I have even more growing
to do than I thought.
775
00:29:39,666 --> 00:29:41,086
What do you mean ask for help?
776
00:29:41,086 --> 00:29:43,219
My evaluation
of the associates was flawed.
777
00:29:43,221 --> 00:29:46,523
It didn't take into
account intangibles, and...
778
00:29:46,525 --> 00:29:48,424
I was hoping you could help
me fix that.
779
00:29:48,426 --> 00:29:50,408
You mean you want me
to help you figure out
780
00:29:50,433 --> 00:29:52,137
who to fire instead of me.
781
00:29:52,137 --> 00:29:53,436
No, Brian, that's not what I meant.
782
00:29:53,438 --> 00:29:54,927
Yes, it is. And I'm sure firing
783
00:29:54,927 --> 00:29:57,077
my fellow associates is
a value to the firm,
784
00:29:57,102 --> 00:29:58,635
but I'm not gonna help you do it.
785
00:30:07,027 --> 00:30:09,853
- What the hell did you do?
- I didn't do anything.
786
00:30:10,031 --> 00:30:12,365
Well, except for
the thing that I did.
787
00:30:12,367 --> 00:30:13,472
You mean going to Judge Thomas
788
00:30:13,472 --> 00:30:15,572
and having him allow
fabricated testimony
789
00:30:15,574 --> 00:30:17,307
to overrule my motion.
790
00:30:17,309 --> 00:30:20,144
It wasn't fabricated, but
it sure as hell was allowed.
791
00:30:20,146 --> 00:30:21,512
And how exactly did you get
him to do that?
792
00:30:21,514 --> 00:30:24,114
You know how I did it,
or you don't.
793
00:30:24,116 --> 00:30:26,116
And if you don't,
well, I'm not about
794
00:30:26,118 --> 00:30:27,603
to open up my playbook
and show you.
795
00:30:27,604 --> 00:30:29,304
Well, Mr. Slick,
I don't give a shit
796
00:30:29,306 --> 00:30:31,005
how you did it.
I'm going to undo it
797
00:30:31,007 --> 00:30:32,488
because this is isn't over.
798
00:30:32,489 --> 00:30:34,155
- Yes, it is.
- We'll see about that.
799
00:30:34,157 --> 00:30:35,490
No, we won't.
800
00:30:35,492 --> 00:30:37,292
Because I'm giving you
a direct order.
801
00:30:37,294 --> 00:30:39,094
You are not to take any action
802
00:30:39,096 --> 00:30:41,129
to affect the outcome
of this situation.
803
00:30:41,131 --> 00:30:43,164
And you can give me all
the orders you want.
804
00:30:43,166 --> 00:30:46,067
The only person I answer to
is Robert Zane.
805
00:30:46,069 --> 00:30:48,136
So if you want to stop
what I'm about to do,
806
00:30:48,138 --> 00:30:51,106
you better talk to him
before I god damn do it.
807
00:30:51,108 --> 00:30:54,442
- Don't you walk away from me.
- Kiss my ass.
808
00:30:58,303 --> 00:31:00,303
All right, Robert.
I have been patient,
809
00:31:00,305 --> 00:31:01,671
but it's over, and I've won.
810
00:31:01,673 --> 00:31:03,205
Call off the dogs.
811
00:31:03,207 --> 00:31:04,807
What the hell
did you just say to me?
812
00:31:04,809 --> 00:31:06,718
I said call off the dogs.
I'm not gonna have someone
813
00:31:06,718 --> 00:31:09,085
inside my own firm who
doesn't know when she's lost.
814
00:31:09,087 --> 00:31:10,553
The only one in here
who doesn't know
815
00:31:10,555 --> 00:31:12,054
that they've lost is you.
816
00:31:12,056 --> 00:31:13,723
I didn't lose shit.
817
00:31:13,725 --> 00:31:15,658
And if you think I might,
why don't you pick up the phone
818
00:31:15,660 --> 00:31:17,609
and call Judge Thomas right now?
819
00:31:17,634 --> 00:31:18,967
I'm not talking about Judge Thomas.
820
00:31:18,969 --> 00:31:20,056
Then what the hell
are you talking about?
821
00:31:20,056 --> 00:31:21,566
I'm talking about the fact
that you stood right here
822
00:31:21,591 --> 00:31:23,424
and gave your word
that you would stay
823
00:31:23,426 --> 00:31:25,393
out of this thing.
And not only did you break it,
824
00:31:25,395 --> 00:31:27,395
now you're in here trying
to drag me into it.
825
00:31:28,788 --> 00:31:30,822
Nothing to say? That's right.
826
00:31:30,824 --> 00:31:33,224
You may have won the battle,
but you lost the goddamn war.
827
00:31:33,226 --> 00:31:34,978
Because you just showed
this entire firm
828
00:31:34,978 --> 00:31:37,011
only one of us is
managing partner material.
829
00:31:37,013 --> 00:31:38,280
And it isn't you.
830
00:31:39,566 --> 00:31:41,026
This is my firm,
831
00:31:41,026 --> 00:31:42,559
and I'm not gonna let you take it.
832
00:31:42,561 --> 00:31:45,295
I'm gonna let you in
on a little secret, Harvey.
833
00:31:45,297 --> 00:31:47,297
I already have.
834
00:31:47,900 --> 00:31:49,967
Now, why don't you let
that rattle around
835
00:31:49,969 --> 00:31:51,775
for a little while,
and then come back
836
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,800
when you're ready
to tell me that I'm right.
837
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,381
You can come in, you know.
838
00:32:08,381 --> 00:32:10,348
- Sorry, I didn't mean to...
- Yes, you did.
839
00:32:10,350 --> 00:32:11,483
You just wanted to let me finish
840
00:32:11,485 --> 00:32:13,084
whatever I was in the middle of.
841
00:32:13,086 --> 00:32:14,202
Not bad.
842
00:32:14,775 --> 00:32:16,436
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
843
00:32:16,461 --> 00:32:17,584
No, I mean, thanks
844
00:32:17,584 --> 00:32:19,151
for sticking up
for me with Katrina.
845
00:32:19,153 --> 00:32:21,286
- You figured it out.
- I did.
846
00:32:22,623 --> 00:32:24,524
I was right about you.
847
00:32:24,858 --> 00:32:26,057
Aren't you right about everybody?
848
00:32:26,059 --> 00:32:27,959
Yeah, pretty much.
849
00:32:28,573 --> 00:32:30,966
And now I have something else
to be right about.
850
00:32:32,924 --> 00:32:34,757
Katrina needs your help.
851
00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:36,425
Maybe she does, but if I'd thought
852
00:32:36,427 --> 00:32:38,160
about the fact
that me staying would mean
853
00:32:38,162 --> 00:32:40,400
someone I care about might
get fired...
854
00:32:41,032 --> 00:32:43,099
I wouldn't have gone to Louis
in the first place.
855
00:32:43,124 --> 00:32:45,091
And that, right there,
is the reason we were right
856
00:32:45,093 --> 00:32:47,329
to keep you. And as I see it...
857
00:32:47,672 --> 00:32:49,972
You can either help Katrina
make the right decision,
858
00:32:49,974 --> 00:32:53,075
or live with the fact that
she might make the wrong one.
859
00:32:53,077 --> 00:32:55,471
Like she almost did with you.
860
00:33:10,996 --> 00:33:12,562
Harvey, what can I do for you?
861
00:33:12,564 --> 00:33:14,297
I'll tell you what
you should have done for me.
862
00:33:14,299 --> 00:33:16,299
Stop me from taking
the case from Alex.
863
00:33:16,301 --> 00:33:17,900
And if you recall,
that's what I tried to do.
864
00:33:17,902 --> 00:33:19,235
And then you changed your mind.
865
00:33:19,237 --> 00:33:20,503
Because I listened to you.
866
00:33:20,505 --> 00:33:22,265
Oh, well,
you picked a hell of a time
867
00:33:22,290 --> 00:33:24,224
to start doing that
because Zane set me up.
868
00:33:24,226 --> 00:33:25,415
I don't care what Zane did,
869
00:33:25,415 --> 00:33:27,108
you went after her
because it's who you are.
870
00:33:27,133 --> 00:33:29,293
And you're supposed to be
saving me from myself.
871
00:33:29,293 --> 00:33:30,692
Which is exactly what I did.
872
00:33:30,694 --> 00:33:32,085
How the hell do you figure that?
873
00:33:32,110 --> 00:33:33,842
Harvey, Mike left.
874
00:33:33,891 --> 00:33:35,254
What does that have to do
with this?
875
00:33:35,254 --> 00:33:36,553
It has everything to do with it.
876
00:33:36,555 --> 00:33:38,188
Because the reason
he left is because
877
00:33:38,190 --> 00:33:41,358
he finally came to terms
with who he is.
878
00:33:41,672 --> 00:33:43,167
And now that he's gone,
879
00:33:43,167 --> 00:33:45,901
who you are is a man
who wants back in the game.
880
00:33:45,903 --> 00:33:48,804
Don't you see, you've been
to the top of the mountain.
881
00:33:48,806 --> 00:33:50,573
You've proved you can
do it, and you may not
882
00:33:50,575 --> 00:33:52,528
want to admit it, but...
883
00:33:53,444 --> 00:33:55,077
you're getting tired
of just sitting up there,
884
00:33:55,079 --> 00:33:56,544
enjoying the view.
885
00:33:58,032 --> 00:33:59,404
Donna, how's it gonna look
886
00:33:59,404 --> 00:34:01,471
to the rest of the world
if I step down?
887
00:34:01,473 --> 00:34:02,864
I'll tell you how.
888
00:34:03,341 --> 00:34:05,241
Like no other firm can touch us.
889
00:34:05,243 --> 00:34:07,510
Not with you and Robert
doing what everybody knows
890
00:34:07,512 --> 00:34:09,174
you were meant to do.
891
00:34:10,315 --> 00:34:11,844
And by that...
892
00:34:12,850 --> 00:34:14,405
I mean pulling off the kind of shit
893
00:34:14,430 --> 00:34:16,764
that only Harvey Specter can do.
894
00:34:31,291 --> 00:34:32,388
Katrina.
895
00:34:32,994 --> 00:34:34,827
- You wanted to see me?
- Yes.
896
00:34:34,829 --> 00:34:36,562
Bridget, please sit down.
897
00:34:44,731 --> 00:34:46,339
Am I getting fired?
898
00:34:47,131 --> 00:34:49,665
Yes. I'm afraid you are.
899
00:34:49,667 --> 00:34:51,302
Katrina, I know we merged,
900
00:34:51,327 --> 00:34:54,093
but I have a ton of student debt.
901
00:34:54,348 --> 00:34:57,787
My landlord just raised my
rent, and...
902
00:34:59,234 --> 00:35:01,734
I promised to pay for
my nephew's daycare
903
00:35:01,736 --> 00:35:04,552
so my sister could go back
to school.
904
00:35:04,839 --> 00:35:06,594
Please.
905
00:35:06,794 --> 00:35:08,394
There's got
to be something I can do
906
00:35:08,396 --> 00:35:10,490
to get a second chance.
907
00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:16,442
I'm sorry, Bridget,
908
00:35:16,442 --> 00:35:19,243
but the decision's
already been made.
909
00:35:20,868 --> 00:35:22,774
I do wish you the best of luck.
910
00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:47,771
You know, life was simpler
when this was my office.
911
00:35:47,773 --> 00:35:49,973
As I understand,
when you were in this office
912
00:35:49,975 --> 00:35:52,876
you almost went to
prison for Mike Ross.
913
00:35:54,796 --> 00:35:57,030
I don't see what
was simpler about that.
914
00:35:57,401 --> 00:35:58,672
Yeah, you do.
915
00:36:00,465 --> 00:36:02,432
Robert, you said
that I should come back
916
00:36:02,434 --> 00:36:05,106
when I was ready to admit
that you were right.
917
00:36:06,238 --> 00:36:08,906
Well, I'm back.
918
00:36:08,908 --> 00:36:12,442
Takes a big man
to admit that, Harvey.
919
00:36:12,981 --> 00:36:14,268
I appreciate it.
920
00:36:14,757 --> 00:36:16,723
You're not gonna try
to hug me, are you?
921
00:36:16,725 --> 00:36:18,258
I don't know what goes on
between you and Louis,
922
00:36:18,260 --> 00:36:19,785
but I'll pass.
923
00:36:21,540 --> 00:36:23,841
Then I guess this is
the part where I make
924
00:36:23,843 --> 00:36:27,020
my first humble request
to my fearless leader.
925
00:36:27,021 --> 00:36:30,489
[laughs]
That took about two seconds.
926
00:36:30,491 --> 00:36:31,653
Let's hear it.
927
00:36:32,493 --> 00:36:34,040
My office.
928
00:36:35,029 --> 00:36:38,330
- What about it?
- I want it back.
929
00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:42,334
In that case, your fearless leader
930
00:36:42,336 --> 00:36:44,536
is happy to comply.
931
00:36:51,866 --> 00:36:54,018
What do you say we go out
and grab those burgers?
932
00:36:54,043 --> 00:36:56,042
Not tonight, but we will.
933
00:36:56,335 --> 00:36:59,670
I still have something I have
to take care of.
934
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,647
[door knocks]
935
00:37:09,649 --> 00:37:11,871
- You were right.
- About what?
936
00:37:12,245 --> 00:37:14,980
It wasn't easy firing those people.
937
00:37:16,047 --> 00:37:18,321
- So it's done?
- It's done.
938
00:37:19,509 --> 00:37:21,302
You mind if I ask if Brian ended up
939
00:37:21,327 --> 00:37:22,582
helping with this list?
940
00:37:22,582 --> 00:37:23,452
He did.
941
00:37:23,850 --> 00:37:25,778
And you were right about him too.
942
00:37:26,453 --> 00:37:30,113
Well, as long as we're
handing out "You were rights,"
943
00:37:30,724 --> 00:37:33,320
You were right about being
the one to let those people go.
944
00:37:33,345 --> 00:37:34,593
You mean it's good for my growth.
945
00:37:34,593 --> 00:37:37,661
No, I mean, I'm glad I didn't
have to do it. It sucks.
946
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,607
Hey, you want to grab
a drink or something?
947
00:37:44,151 --> 00:37:46,383
- I'd love to.
- Katrina.
948
00:37:46,815 --> 00:37:48,098
Robert.
949
00:37:48,584 --> 00:37:50,450
Give me a second with
Red here, will you?
950
00:37:50,452 --> 00:37:52,698
Of course. I'll be in my office.
951
00:37:53,389 --> 00:37:55,314
Am I in trouble?
952
00:37:55,624 --> 00:37:57,257
Why, you do something wrong?
953
00:37:57,493 --> 00:38:00,711
I guess that depends on what
you mean by wrong.
954
00:38:00,736 --> 00:38:02,422
I'm not here
because you're in trouble.
955
00:38:02,871 --> 00:38:06,072
I'm here because Harvey
just asked me to swap offices
956
00:38:06,074 --> 00:38:09,008
and then he told I was right.
957
00:38:09,998 --> 00:38:11,977
And I doubt those words
have ever come out
958
00:38:11,977 --> 00:38:13,736
of that man's mouth
without first having
959
00:38:13,761 --> 00:38:15,301
a conversation with you.
960
00:38:15,301 --> 00:38:16,945
You sound pretty sure
of yourself for a man
961
00:38:16,970 --> 00:38:18,336
who's only been here
about ten minutes.
962
00:38:18,338 --> 00:38:19,871
You think Rachel
didn't tell her father
963
00:38:19,873 --> 00:38:22,010
about the mighty Donna Paulsen?
964
00:38:23,076 --> 00:38:26,244
Guess I never thought of her
as much of a chatterbox.
965
00:38:27,237 --> 00:38:29,614
Then again, she did tell me
about the time that you took...
966
00:38:29,616 --> 00:38:31,861
Whatever it is. Just remember,
967
00:38:32,117 --> 00:38:33,348
once you say it out loud,
968
00:38:33,348 --> 00:38:35,114
we can never pretend
that you don't know it.
969
00:38:35,116 --> 00:38:37,249
And that, Robert Lucas Zane,
970
00:38:37,251 --> 00:38:39,719
is why you are managing partner.
971
00:38:41,155 --> 00:38:44,557
- Good night, Donna.
- Good night, Robert.
972
00:38:49,378 --> 00:38:52,765
You really have no concept
of boundaries, do you?
973
00:38:52,767 --> 00:38:55,190
You know, most people would be here
974
00:38:55,215 --> 00:38:57,424
to tell you they think
we got off on the wrong foot.
975
00:38:57,449 --> 00:39:00,415
But I'm here to say
we got off on the right one,
976
00:39:00,685 --> 00:39:01,995
And what foot is that?
977
00:39:01,995 --> 00:39:03,495
The one where you and I discover
978
00:39:03,497 --> 00:39:04,763
we're not so different after all.
979
00:39:04,765 --> 00:39:06,097
I don't think
I'm anything like you.
980
00:39:06,099 --> 00:39:07,699
You are. Right down to the fact
981
00:39:07,701 --> 00:39:10,068
that we both grew up in
Riverside, New York.
982
00:39:10,278 --> 00:39:12,578
Which is why we'll both
always feel like outsiders
983
00:39:12,580 --> 00:39:14,580
no matter how much we earn
their respect.
984
00:39:14,908 --> 00:39:16,293
How do you know that about me?
985
00:39:16,293 --> 00:39:18,100
Because I do my homework.
986
00:39:19,458 --> 00:39:21,279
Maybe we are alike.
987
00:39:21,860 --> 00:39:23,393
That's all I wanted to say.
988
00:39:23,395 --> 00:39:24,861
Except for one thing.
989
00:39:24,863 --> 00:39:27,686
You told Jeremy Stiller
that you grew up on a farm,
990
00:39:27,711 --> 00:39:30,812
and last I checked there aren't
any farms in Riverside.
991
00:39:31,055 --> 00:39:33,898
And that little observation
is the reason
992
00:39:33,898 --> 00:39:35,512
we got off on the right foot.
993
00:39:35,699 --> 00:39:36,583
I don't follow.
994
00:39:36,583 --> 00:39:37,982
There are three things that happen
995
00:39:37,984 --> 00:39:39,784
when I tell different people
different stories.
996
00:39:39,786 --> 00:39:42,554
One, they don't recognize it.
997
00:39:42,556 --> 00:39:44,322
Which means I don't need
to worry about them.
998
00:39:44,324 --> 00:39:46,406
Two, they know I did it,
999
00:39:46,453 --> 00:39:48,013
but don't have the balls
to say anything.
1000
00:39:48,013 --> 00:39:50,142
Which means I need to worry
about them even less.
1001
00:39:50,382 --> 00:39:53,071
Or three, they call me on it.
1002
00:39:53,521 --> 00:39:56,155
And believe me,
three is my kind of guy.
1003
00:39:57,492 --> 00:40:00,860
Well, in that case,
welcome to the firm.
1004
00:40:01,438 --> 00:40:02,647
Glad to be here.
1005
00:40:02,886 --> 00:40:06,584
Oh, and by the way,
I would have won.
1006
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,234
[drawer rattles]
1007
00:40:18,139 --> 00:40:19,906
[drawer clanks]
1008
00:40:21,176 --> 00:40:22,775
Alex.
1009
00:40:22,777 --> 00:40:24,377
It's 10:00 at night;
What are you doing?
1010
00:40:24,379 --> 00:40:26,179
I'm going through every one
of Samantha Wheeler's files.
1011
00:40:26,181 --> 00:40:29,015
'Cause a fight's coming,
and I'm gonna be ready.
1012
00:40:29,017 --> 00:40:30,688
Okay, listen to me.
1013
00:40:31,186 --> 00:40:35,450
Because, believe me,
I've been where you are before.
1014
00:40:35,934 --> 00:40:37,800
Don't start something
that you'll regret later.
1015
00:40:37,802 --> 00:40:38,901
Then what am I supposed to do?
1016
00:40:38,903 --> 00:40:40,649
How 'bout you make a friend now
1017
00:40:40,674 --> 00:40:42,106
that you'll be happy about later.
1018
00:40:42,108 --> 00:40:44,308
Are you crazy? She's not
looking to make friends.
1019
00:40:44,310 --> 00:40:45,910
Maybe not, but, Alex, listen to me.
1020
00:40:45,912 --> 00:40:47,945
In the long run,
this woman is going nowhere.
1021
00:40:47,947 --> 00:40:50,548
Got Harvey and me on your side.
You get the trifecta,
1022
00:40:50,550 --> 00:40:53,217
I don't care what she does.
Never gonna beat you again.
1023
00:40:53,219 --> 00:40:55,620
Are you suggesting I kiss
Robert Zane's ass?
1024
00:40:55,622 --> 00:40:57,588
- 'Cause I'm not gonna do that.
- No, Alex.
1025
00:40:57,590 --> 00:41:00,193
I'm just saying
get to know the man.
1026
00:41:00,193 --> 00:41:02,550
And how exactly would you
suggest I do that?
1027
00:41:02,575 --> 00:41:04,185
That's up to you. I happen to know
1028
00:41:04,185 --> 00:41:05,985
the man plays golf. So do you.
1029
00:41:05,987 --> 00:41:09,722
If it were up to me,
I would start right there.
1030
00:41:25,208 --> 00:41:27,141
Make yourself at home.
1031
00:41:27,380 --> 00:41:29,313
Don't mind if I do.
1032
00:41:30,350 --> 00:41:32,661
Well, as long as you're here.
1033
00:41:32,919 --> 00:41:35,286
You came through, like always.
1034
00:41:35,342 --> 00:41:37,362
- Thanks, Samantha.
- Like always.
1035
00:41:37,387 --> 00:41:39,735
What happened to, "You let me
down a time or two"?
1036
00:41:39,735 --> 00:41:42,168
Come on, you know I get like
that sometimes.
1037
00:41:43,238 --> 00:41:45,247
What's going on?
Something on your mind?
1038
00:41:45,272 --> 00:41:47,473
Yeah, there is.
I did what you asked and
1039
00:41:47,475 --> 00:41:49,965
- now I have something to ask.
- What's that?
1040
00:41:49,965 --> 00:41:51,935
I don't want to just be
your Michael Clayton.
1041
00:41:52,168 --> 00:41:53,427
I want more.
1042
00:41:54,462 --> 00:41:57,129
- I'm married.
- Come on, Robert.
1043
00:41:57,131 --> 00:41:59,482
You know what I want,
and it's time.
1044
00:41:59,507 --> 00:42:01,173
Samantha, we've been over this.
1045
00:42:01,175 --> 00:42:04,109
You get name partner, and
you're not going to be able
1046
00:42:04,111 --> 00:42:05,811
to operate the way you always have.
1047
00:42:05,813 --> 00:42:07,607
You mean I won't be able
to clean up your messes.
1048
00:42:07,608 --> 00:42:10,042
My messes aren't
the only ones you clean up.
1049
00:42:10,044 --> 00:42:11,844
I believe you spend half
the time cleaning up your own.
1050
00:42:11,846 --> 00:42:14,146
Oh, is that what I spent
the last few days doing?
1051
00:42:14,148 --> 00:42:16,115
- Samantha?
- Robert, I want name partner.
1052
00:42:16,117 --> 00:42:18,083
And I want it before
the year is out.
1053
00:42:18,085 --> 00:42:19,332
Or what?
1054
00:42:19,954 --> 00:42:22,054
Before the year is out, Robert.
1055
00:42:23,014 --> 00:42:30,014
