the gloves and get in the ring.

You gonna let him push us
around like that?

5
00:00:08,342 --> 00:00:09,819
We go to court

Bring it on.

Andrew, this is between
you and me, not Jessica.

She admitted to being a party to fraud
in front of the New York State Bar.

- Son of a bitch.
- Uh-huh. That's the look I came here to see.

10
00:00:18,936 --> 00:00:20,538
The only thing better would be
if I could be there

11
00:00:20,562 --> 00:00:22,098
when you have to tell
Jessica Pearson

that you cost her
her license to practice law.

Harvey basically asked me
to impersonate Samantha Wheeler.

00:00:27,819 --> 00:00:29,902
If Harvey wants you to do this,
why not do it?

15

Other than not wanting to get
on Samantha's bad side,

16

Louis said that if too many
people got involved,

their fight could
tear the firm apart.

What is it gonna take for you
to get off the sidelines?

22
00:00:43,627 --> 00:00:45,271
Robert's about to tell Harvey
that he's gonna put up

23

Samantha's name
instead of Alex's.

If we don't do something,
we're not gonna have a firm tomorrow.

We're gonna have a war
on our hands.

Harvey and Robert would never vote
to make me managing partner.

You leave that to me.

You think you have
what it takes to run this firm?

I know I do,
and my first order of business

30

is promoting Alex and Samantha
at the same time.

31
00:00:59,768 --> 00:01:01,976
So what's it gonna be?
A split decision?

32
00:01:02,062 --> 00:01:03,702
Or are we gonna make
this thing unanimous?

oversleep today of all days?

I'll tell you how.

39
00:01:22,583 --> 00:01:25,371
I had a nightmare last night
that we made Louis managing partner,

40
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:26,854
and I couldn't get back
to sleep till dawn.

That wasn't a nightmare
and you know it.

And instead of showing up late,
what you should be doing

is asking Louis how
you can make his life easier.

- I didn't oversleep.

no one would appreciate you knocking down
Andrew Malik more than me,

52

but is day one of Louis' reign
really the best time?

53
00:01:55,282 --> 00:01:56,318
It's the perfect time.

54

by letting him figure out

but there's no way
Ricky faked going down.

Then why don't you stop telling me
something I already know

it's a weight
lifted off my shoulders.

154
00:06:27,721 --> 00:06:29,178
Doesn't look like
a weight off.

155
00:06:29,264 --> 00:06:31,506
Oh, you seriously gonna say
that to me today of all days?

156
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,387
Yeah, that's how strong
I think our bond is.

157
00:06:33,476 --> 00:06:36,237
Are you sure? Because I can make fun
of your physical appearance, too.

158
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:38,809
Really? Huh.
What would you say?

159
00:06:39,524 --> 00:06:40,560
Never mind.

160
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:44,815
Listen, I heard that you're taking on
that fixed fight case.

161
00:06:44,905 --> 00:06:46,237
- I want in.
- Robert...

162
00:06:46,323 --> 00:06:48,064
Ah, no buts, Harvey. I know.

163
00:06:48,158 --> 00:06:51,242
Jessica was your mentor,
but she was also my friend.

164
00:06:51,328 --> 00:06:55,322
And not to mention,
after 15 years as managing partner,

165
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:57,327
I'm dying to step back
in that ring.

166
00:06:57,417 --> 00:07:00,785
I get it, you don't want
to be ordered around by Louis either.

167
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:02,871
The man walks into my office
this morning

168
00:07:02,964 --> 00:07:04,921
and asks me about
turning the bathrooms coed.

169
00:07:05,008 --> 00:07:07,421
Look at me. Do I look like
I want coed bathrooms?

170
00:07:08,345 --> 00:07:10,758
All right, you're in.

171
00:07:10,847 --> 00:07:12,179
But let's be clear.

172
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:14,131
This isn't about
avoiding Louis.

173
00:07:14,225 --> 00:07:16,217
This is about handing
Andrew Malik,

174
00:07:16,311 --> 00:07:18,769
a big, fat public knockout.

175
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:21,389
- What do you think?
- I think

176
00:07:21,483 --> 00:07:23,770
that is something
I've waited a long time to see.

177
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:25,817
You have no idea.

178
00:07:25,904 --> 00:07:28,021
And what with you
overcoming the difficulties

179
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:29,400
of being white,

180
00:07:29,491 --> 00:07:31,051
you must've thought
you'd never make it.

181
00:07:31,117 --> 00:07:32,733
And you having to deal

182
00:07:32,827 --> 00:07:34,784
with the struggles
of being a man.

183
00:07:34,871 --> 00:07:37,113
It's a triumph
of the human spirit.

184
00:07:37,207 --> 00:07:38,684
Hmm. I have to say, though,
I'm surprised

185
00:07:38,708 --> 00:07:39,994
you went with
Wheeler Williams.

186
00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:41,371
Well, I thought about it,

187
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:43,578
and a name in the middle
might get lost,

188
00:07:43,672 --> 00:07:45,959
but a last name
sticks with people.

189
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,086
Has more power to it.

190
00:07:48,927 --> 00:07:49,963
Sure.

191
00:07:50,637 --> 00:07:55,132
Like Tonto,
Robin, Garfunkel.

192
00:07:56,184 --> 00:07:58,892
Shit, I may need
to rethink this.

193
00:07:58,979 --> 00:08:01,099
Well, while you're thinking
about it, how'd you do it?

194
00:08:01,147 --> 00:08:02,604
- Do what?
- You know what.

195
00:08:02,732 --> 00:08:04,644
- Get that evidence.
- Samantha,

196
00:08:04,734 --> 00:08:07,317
you made name partner.
I made name partner.

197
00:08:07,404 --> 00:08:08,565
Don't let something
eat you up

198
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:10,112
that doesn't even matter
anymore.

199
00:08:10,198 --> 00:08:11,234
Let it go.

200
00:08:17,455 --> 00:08:19,037
Thomas, Gretchen said
you were here.

201
00:08:19,124 --> 00:08:21,161
- You hear the news?
- I certainly did.

202
00:08:21,251 --> 00:08:22,651
Wish I was here
to congratulate you,

203
00:08:22,711 --> 00:08:24,418
but I've got a problem,
Louis.

204
00:08:25,046 --> 00:08:26,082
I had to fire Larry.

205
00:08:26,172 --> 00:08:29,165
What? Why?
He's been with you forever.

206
00:08:29,259 --> 00:08:30,545
I know that.

207
00:08:30,635 --> 00:08:32,488
We just signed this huge deal
with Winthrop Hotels,

208
00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:33,614
and he let them
slip something

209
00:08:33,638 --> 00:08:34,991
into the fine print
about volume discounts.

210
00:08:35,015 --> 00:08:37,723
I fulfill this order,
I go out of business.

211
00:08:37,809 --> 00:08:39,787
And if you don't, they sue you
for breach of contract.

212
00:08:39,811 --> 00:08:41,268
Shit, that is
a fireable offense.

213
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:42,994
I need you to get me
out of that contract.

214
00:08:44,899 --> 00:08:46,139
Of course.
I'll take care of it.

215
00:08:46,943 --> 00:08:49,401
One more thing,
I'm, uh...

216
00:08:49,487 --> 00:08:51,149
I'm gonna need
an interim general counsel.

217
00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:54,301
Well, look, you know
I want to say yes, but...

218
00:08:54,325 --> 00:08:55,861
Louis, I need this,

219
00:08:55,952 --> 00:08:58,615
just until I find
somebody else.

220
00:08:58,705 --> 00:09:00,558
Okay, I will handle things
for you in the interim

221
00:09:00,582 --> 00:09:01,809
and we'll find you
a new general counsel.

222
00:09:01,833 --> 00:09:04,917
Thank you, my friend.
Knew I could count on you.

223
00:09:11,384 --> 00:09:13,376
Nina, what are you
doing here?

224
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:15,507
I came by to say
it's not going to look very good

225
00:09:15,597 --> 00:09:17,158
if the same day
your name gets on the wall,

226
00:09:17,182 --> 00:09:18,468
you lose
a billion-dollar client.

227
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:20,424
- What?
- Don't "what" me.

228
00:09:20,518 --> 00:09:23,261
We lost $80 million,
and I want my money back.

229
00:09:23,354 --> 00:09:25,391
I'm a lawyer,
not a miracle worker.

230
00:09:25,482 --> 00:09:27,543
Well, unless you want the ethics board
looking into what you did,

231
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:29,420
I suggest you figure out a way
to become a miracle worker.

232
00:09:29,444 --> 00:09:32,562
- What do you mean, what I did?
- You know what.

233
00:09:32,655 --> 00:09:34,271
You went to my
records department,

234
00:09:34,365 --> 00:09:35,651
asked for a copy
of that report,

235
00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:36,927
and leaked it
to Alex Williams.

236
00:09:36,951 --> 00:09:39,534
Listen to me.
I never did that.

237
00:09:39,621 --> 00:09:42,113
Well, if it wasn't you,
it was someone else from your firm.

238
00:09:42,207 --> 00:09:43,809
Either way, you're gonna
get me my money back.

239
00:09:43,833 --> 00:09:45,324
There's no legal way
to do that.

240
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:46,520
Well, you didn't
have a problem

241
00:09:46,544 --> 00:09:48,501
breaking the law
to lose me $80 million.

242
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:51,547
Don't tell me you have a problem
breaking the law to get it back.

243
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:58,592
Harvey Specter,

244
00:09:58,681 --> 00:10:01,077
what are you doing in a place
where people with integrity work?

245
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:02,787
I came to tell you
you should've stayed down

246
00:10:02,811 --> 00:10:04,677
after I knocked you out
the last time,

247
00:10:04,771 --> 00:10:06,603
because I'm representing
Jim Allen.

248
00:10:06,689 --> 00:10:09,898
Well, what a surprise that you would
step into the ring with a fraud.

249
00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:11,316
Hey, speaking of frauds, uh,

250
00:10:11,402 --> 00:10:13,394
how's Jessica Pearson
enjoying the Windy City?

251
00:10:13,488 --> 00:10:15,070
She's doing just fine,

252
00:10:15,156 --> 00:10:16,842
but you're about to get
what's coming to you.

253
00:10:16,866 --> 00:10:18,323
Well, then you picked
the wrong case,

254
00:10:18,409 --> 00:10:20,241
because there's no way
a fighter in his prime

255
00:10:20,328 --> 00:10:21,910
loses to a middle-aged
has-been.

256
00:10:21,996 --> 00:10:23,658
And upsets
happen all the time.

257
00:10:23,748 --> 00:10:27,037
Broadway Joe, Miracle on Ice,
Eagles-Patriots last year.

258
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:29,335
What, you think
they were all crooked?

259
00:10:30,171 --> 00:10:32,003
Team sports, asshole.

260
00:10:32,090 --> 00:10:34,207
The easiest game
in the world to fix is boxing,

261
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:36,917
and everybody knows it.
So defend him all you want,

262
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:39,406
- but I'm not backing down.
- I don't think you understand.

263
00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:42,173
I'm not just defending him.
I'm coming after you.

264
00:10:42,267 --> 00:10:45,135
Because you'd rather trump up
a case against a promoter

265
00:10:45,228 --> 00:10:46,514
than go after a real criminal.

266
00:10:46,604 --> 00:10:48,220
Jim Allen is a real criminal.

267
00:10:48,314 --> 00:10:49,725
He is staining a sport
that I love,

268
00:10:49,816 --> 00:10:51,496
and I'm not gonna let him
get away with it.

269
00:10:51,568 --> 00:10:53,025
You love boxing?

270
00:10:53,111 --> 00:10:55,979
Middleweight champ,
Eastern Long Island two years in a row.

271
00:10:56,739 --> 00:10:59,218
Then what do you say we lace 'em up
and settle this in the ring?

272
00:10:59,242 --> 00:11:01,700
Spoken like a lawyer
with a guilty man for a client.

273
00:11:01,786 --> 00:11:04,199
Spoken like someone who's
as afraid of me in the gym

274
00:11:04,289 --> 00:11:06,121
as he should be
in the courtroom.

275
00:11:06,207 --> 00:11:07,243
You finished?

276
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:09,871
No. But you are.

277
00:11:09,961 --> 00:11:11,702
You just don't know it yet.

278
00:11:15,258 --> 00:11:18,626
Louis, what are you doing?
Are you hiding in here?

279
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,507
I am working on something.

280
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:23,881
Is that something doing work
for Thomas Kessler

281
00:11:23,975 --> 00:11:26,092
that should've been farmed out
to someone else?

282
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:27,913
Donna, he's one of
my oldest clients.

283
00:11:27,937 --> 00:11:29,039
He just lost
his general counsel.

284
00:11:29,063 --> 00:11:30,166
I'm not hanging him
out to dry.

285
00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:31,667
I'm not saying you should
hang him out to dry.

286
00:11:31,691 --> 00:11:33,523
I'm saying delegate.

287
00:11:33,610 --> 00:11:34,837
Because I got a stack
of things in my office

288
00:11:34,861 --> 00:11:36,046
that you haven't even
looked at yet.

289
00:11:36,070 --> 00:11:37,423
Well, then you handle them.
You're the COO.

290
00:11:37,447 --> 00:11:39,860
I can't. The bylaws
explicitly state

291
00:11:39,949 --> 00:11:41,594
they're the purview
of the managing partner.

292
00:11:41,618 --> 00:11:43,095
- Who the hell decided that?
- You did

293
00:11:43,119 --> 00:11:44,221
when you put it in the bylaws

294
00:11:44,245 --> 00:11:45,890
that they're the purview
of the managing partner.

295
00:11:45,914 --> 00:11:49,578
Donna, I cannot let my clients down.
It is just not in me.

296
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:50,769
You wouldn't be
letting him down.

297
00:11:50,793 --> 00:11:53,189
You'd be giving him to someone
who can handle him more closely.

298
00:11:53,213 --> 00:11:54,565
And what about finding
a replacement general counsel?

299
00:11:54,589 --> 00:11:55,625
Who's gonna do that?

300
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:57,568
Louis, I just found us
a new managing partner, I think

301
00:11:57,592 --> 00:12:00,505
I can handle finding Thomas Kessler
a new general counsel.

302
00:12:00,595 --> 00:12:02,507
Now, the better question is,

303
00:12:02,597 --> 00:12:05,135
can you handle this job
that you agreed to take?

304
00:12:16,236 --> 00:12:20,355
(IMITATES WINSTON CHURCHILL)

00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,449
"and to the side of them,
delegating greatly..."

307
00:12:27,538 --> 00:12:28,574
Are you having a stroke?

308
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:30,247
- I'm quoting Churchill.
- Really?

309
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:31,644
Because it sounds more like
you're quoting yourself.

310
00:12:31,668 --> 00:12:32,895
Well, Churchill, me,
same difference.

311
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:37,414
The point is, is that Thomas Kessler has
a contract that he needs to get out of

312
00:12:37,507 --> 00:12:38,964
and you are the best man
for the job.

313
00:12:39,050 --> 00:12:40,570
Donna told you to delegate,
didn't she?

314
00:12:40,635 --> 00:12:42,376
No, not... Maybe.
Yeah, she did.

315
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:45,258
The truth is, you are the best man
for the job,

316
00:12:45,348 --> 00:12:46,384
with the exception of me.

317
00:12:46,474 --> 00:12:47,660
Louis, if you don't want
to give me the...

318
00:12:47,684 --> 00:12:49,220
The reason I think
I'm better is,

319
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:51,848
Thomas Kessler is
one of my oldest clients.

320
00:12:51,938 --> 00:12:53,582
We don't get him out of this,
he goes out of business.

321
00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:55,222
If it were me,
there is nothing

322
00:12:55,316 --> 00:12:56,956
I wouldn't do
to keep that from happening.

323
00:12:56,985 --> 00:13:00,353
Louis, I hear you loud and clear.
I don't care what it takes.

324
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:02,028
This man is not
going out of business.

325
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:03,401
Thank you, Alex.

326
00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:13,495
Can I help you?

327
00:13:13,584 --> 00:13:15,371
Yes, I'm looking
for Thomas Kessler.

328
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:18,332
Congratulations,
you found him.

329
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:19,792
Oh.

330
00:13:20,425 --> 00:13:22,337
I'm Donna Paulsen.
I'm from Zane Specter...

331
00:13:22,427 --> 00:13:23,543
No, I know who you are.

332
00:13:24,929 --> 00:13:26,261
And what can I do for you,
Donna?

333
00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:28,027
Actually, I'm here
to do something for you.

334
00:13:28,099 --> 00:13:29,931
I'm gonna find you
a new general counsel.

335
00:13:30,018 --> 00:13:31,259
Well, I appreciate the offer,

336
00:13:31,352 --> 00:13:33,514
but I've already got
Korn Ferry working on that.

337
00:13:33,604 --> 00:13:35,749
And Louis Litt wants to make sure
that you feel taken care of,

338
00:13:35,773 --> 00:13:37,373
and it's my job
to see that that happens.

339
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,107
Well, listen,
no offense, Donna,

340
00:13:39,193 --> 00:13:40,671
but they're the best
headhunters in the world.

341
00:13:40,695 --> 00:13:42,061
What can you do
that they can't?

342
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:43,257
I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna get you

343
00:13:43,281 --> 00:13:45,398
the top 10 candidates
in the city by tomorrow.

344
00:13:45,491 --> 00:13:47,949
And trust me, when I'm done,
you're gonna want to hire me.

345
00:13:48,036 --> 00:13:50,264
(CHUCKLES) Bold statement from someone
who doesn't even know my business.

346
00:13:50,288 --> 00:13:53,076
Well, I can't design a lampshade
if that's what you're getting at,

347
00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:56,375
but I do know that
40% of your business is commercial

348
00:13:56,461 --> 00:13:58,498
and you passed on
a buyout last year

349
00:13:58,588 --> 00:14:01,046
because you wanted
to pursue this hotel deal,

350
00:14:01,132 --> 00:14:03,715
which is why you are now
looking for a new general counsel.

351
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:06,256
- I guess you do know my business.
- And for the record,

352
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:08,178
I can design a lampshade, too.

353
00:14:09,182 --> 00:14:12,846
But finding you the right general counsel
isn't just about knowing your business.

354
00:14:12,935 --> 00:14:14,676
No, it's about chemistry.

355
00:14:14,771 --> 00:14:16,262
- Yes, it is.
- Mmm-hmm.

356
00:14:16,981 --> 00:14:19,189
- How do you know my type?
- Well, let's see.

357
00:14:20,610 --> 00:14:22,004
You're wearing a suit
that's just nice enough

358
00:14:22,028 --> 00:14:24,862
to hide the fact that you don't really care
about the suit,

359
00:14:24,947 --> 00:14:26,508
(WHISPERING) and the reason
you don't care about it

360
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:27,926
is because you don't
want your employees

361
00:14:27,950 --> 00:14:29,191
thinking you're above them,

362
00:14:29,285 --> 00:14:30,971
which means you really
do care about the suit.

363
00:14:30,995 --> 00:14:34,409
But what you care about
even more is your people.

364
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:37,082
You're saying
my suit looks cheap?

365
00:14:37,168 --> 00:14:42,004
I am saying it looks sharp as hell,
but I'm also saying that you are a CEO

366
00:14:42,090 --> 00:14:44,207
who needs a GC
who understands your POV.

367
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:45,836
Yes, I DOO.

368
00:14:45,927 --> 00:14:47,007
That didn't come out right.

369
00:14:47,053 --> 00:14:48,589
Points for trying.

370
00:14:49,097 --> 00:14:52,431
So, Thomas,
do I have the job or not?

371
00:14:53,351 --> 00:14:56,594
Well, listen, if Louis wants me
to be taken care of,

372
00:14:56,687 --> 00:14:57,723
then who am I to say...

373
00:14:57,814 --> 00:14:59,574
I'll have the candidates
for you by tomorrow.

374
00:15:04,028 --> 00:15:06,736
I would've thought,
given your time at Rand Kaldor,

375
00:15:06,823 --> 00:15:08,759
you would've learned better
than to tangle with me.

376
00:15:08,783 --> 00:15:11,261
I did learn that, and I have
no intention of tangling with you.

377
00:15:11,285 --> 00:15:13,117
Then let me tell you a story.

378
00:15:13,204 --> 00:15:15,321
I just lost a huge case
for my client.

379
00:15:15,456 --> 00:15:17,789
- Dexhart.
- I like to think of my client as Nina

380
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:20,913
because that's the woman
I have always been loyal to.

381
00:15:21,003 --> 00:15:24,212
So when Nina accused me of betraying her,
I knew something was wrong.

382
00:15:24,298 --> 00:15:28,008
Turns out, a blonde woman came
in asking for their files.

383
00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:31,132
She didn't say her name,
just that she was a senior partner.

384
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:32,825
- Samantha...
- Which means it was a smart move,

385
00:15:32,849 --> 00:15:35,762
because it didn't break the law,
but it was also dumb,

386
00:15:35,852 --> 00:15:38,185
because it wasn't hard
to figure out who it was.

387
00:15:39,522 --> 00:15:41,309
I know
what you're thinking.

388
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:43,982
You didn't do this on your own.
You were given an order.

389
00:15:44,068 --> 00:15:45,104
And if you're thinking

390
00:15:45,194 --> 00:15:46,296
I'm going to tell you
who gave me that order...

391
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,186
I don't care who gave it.
What I care about is,

392
00:15:48,281 --> 00:15:50,694
now you're going
to take an order from me.

393
00:15:51,242 --> 00:15:52,323
What are you talking about?

394
00:15:52,410 --> 00:15:54,823
Your client Kappa Financial
is right now negotiating

395
00:15:54,912 --> 00:15:59,703
a $70 million settlement with the SEC
that Dexhart is on the hook for.

396
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:02,910
You're gonna get them off the hook
by getting Kappa to admit fault.

397
00:16:03,004 --> 00:16:04,524
- They'll never do that.
- Then I guess

398
00:16:04,589 --> 00:16:07,269
someone's gonna have to slip it
into the deal without them noticing.

399
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:09,625
And you said it yourself,
I didn't break the law.

400
00:16:09,719 --> 00:16:11,176
There's nothing
you can do to me.

401
00:16:11,262 --> 00:16:14,005
And you said it yourself,
you didn't want to tangle with me.

402
00:16:14,098 --> 00:16:16,215
And if you think I can't
find something in your life

403
00:16:16,309 --> 00:16:19,393
where you did
cross the line,

404
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:22,017
well, then you haven't
been paying attention.

405
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:25,562
JUDGE: All right,
I understand we're here

406
00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:26,937
because of a motion
to dismiss?

407
00:16:27,028 --> 00:16:28,394
That's right, Your Honor.

408
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:30,855
He has no proof my client ever
defrauded anyone.

409
00:16:30,948 --> 00:16:33,782
Never? Then what do you
call rigging a scale before a fight?

410
00:16:33,868 --> 00:16:36,076
If you're talking about
the Watkins-Lopez fight,

411
00:16:36,162 --> 00:16:37,744
that was 15 years ago,

412
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:40,948
and Omar Watkins was a kid
that made a five-pound mistake.

413
00:16:41,042 --> 00:16:43,955
Or Jim Allen's a promoter who let
an overweight fighter break the rules

414
00:16:44,045 --> 00:16:46,287
and then paid him $50,000
to lie about it.

415
00:16:47,381 --> 00:16:49,794
Alonzo, I'm Robert Zane.

416
00:16:49,884 --> 00:16:51,716
Been a fan for a long time.
Have a seat.

417
00:16:51,802 --> 00:16:54,198
Look, I'll have a seat, mister,
but let me save you some time.

418
00:16:54,222 --> 00:16:55,429
Ricky didn't take a dive.

419
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:56,551
You sound pretty sure.

420
00:16:56,641 --> 00:16:59,099
I'm sure because I felt
my glove smash his face.

421
00:16:59,185 --> 00:17:00,721
Defense is right,
Mr. Malik.

422
00:17:00,811 --> 00:17:03,474
Circumstantial evidence
from 15 years ago isn't enough.

423
00:17:03,564 --> 00:17:05,524
Then how about the fact
that a huge bet was placed

424
00:17:05,566 --> 00:17:06,602
right before this fight?

425
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:08,854
A lot of bets were placed
before this fight.

426
00:17:08,945 --> 00:17:11,608
Not $100,000 on the underdog
at the last second.

427
00:17:11,697 --> 00:17:13,814
You know everybody
counted me out?

428
00:17:13,908 --> 00:17:16,366
Now the only thing
they're counting to is to 10

429
00:17:16,452 --> 00:17:19,035
because I dropped that chump,
plain and simple.

430
00:17:19,121 --> 00:17:21,033
- $100,000?
- That's right, Your Honor.

431
00:17:21,123 --> 00:17:23,456
- All in increments of $9,900.
- Increments?

432
00:17:23,543 --> 00:17:25,705
Then you don't know
it was the same person at all.

433
00:17:25,795 --> 00:17:30,165
Not to mention the fact that $9,900 is
under the legal reporting requirements.

434
00:17:30,258 --> 00:17:33,376
By $100, which is awfully convenient
if you're trying to break the law

435
00:17:33,469 --> 00:17:36,086
and not draw attention to it,
like Jim Allen did.

436
00:17:36,180 --> 00:17:37,762
Jim Allen's not dirty.

437
00:17:37,848 --> 00:17:39,885
I don't care
what that lawyer says.

438
00:17:39,976 --> 00:17:41,387
I didn't take a dive.

439
00:17:41,477 --> 00:17:42,663
And I'll tell you
something else.

440
00:17:42,687 --> 00:17:44,644
I get a rematch
with that piece of shit,

441
00:17:44,730 --> 00:17:47,063
I'm gonna drop him
like a stone.

442
00:17:47,149 --> 00:17:49,186
The fact is, you only found
something suspicious

443
00:17:49,277 --> 00:17:50,893
by doing something suspicious.

444
00:17:50,987 --> 00:17:52,023
I was doing my job.

445
00:17:52,113 --> 00:17:54,196
Your job isn't to look
at bets under $10,000.

446
00:17:54,282 --> 00:17:57,242
Hey, I'll look at whatever I want,
and when I find out who made those bets,

447
00:17:57,326 --> 00:17:59,283
I'll have your fraudulent client
dead to rights.

448
00:17:59,370 --> 00:18:01,862
That's enough.
The evidence is sufficient to move forward.

449
00:18:01,956 --> 00:18:03,788
- Your Honor...
- Enough, Mr. Specter.

450
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:06,036
This case is going to trial.

451
00:18:16,012 --> 00:18:18,282
I'm guessing by that look on your face,
we're going to trial.

452
00:18:18,306 --> 00:18:19,342
We are.

453
00:18:19,432 --> 00:18:22,425
The judge denied our motion
because Malik made Jim look guilty.

454
00:18:22,518 --> 00:18:24,180
- You think he is?
- No.

455
00:18:24,270 --> 00:18:26,227
He looked me in the eye,
told me he was innocent,

456
00:18:26,314 --> 00:18:27,430
and I believe him.

457
00:18:27,523 --> 00:18:29,810
I feel the same way
about those fighters.

458
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:31,641
Well, the next thing
we need to do...

459
00:18:31,736 --> 00:18:35,320
Harvey, the next thing we need
to do is tell Louis what's going on.

460
00:18:35,406 --> 00:18:38,194
If there's any chance
that we could lose this thing,

461
00:18:38,284 --> 00:18:39,445
he deserves to know.

462
00:18:39,535 --> 00:18:41,822
I tell him that, he's gonna tell me
to drop this thing,

463
00:18:41,912 --> 00:18:43,028
which I am not gonna do,

464
00:18:43,122 --> 00:18:44,954
and how is that gonna
make him feel?

465
00:18:45,041 --> 00:18:47,704
I'll tell you how,
like a managing partner,

466
00:18:47,793 --> 00:18:49,580
because Louis is running
this firm now.

467
00:18:49,670 --> 00:18:52,504
And we need to respect him
enough to tell him to his face.

468
00:18:52,590 --> 00:18:56,174
So, if you're not gonna tell him
what's going on with this,

469
00:18:56,260 --> 00:18:57,296
I will.

470
00:18:58,304 --> 00:18:59,465
All right, I'll tell him.

471
00:19:02,350 --> 00:19:03,966
Louis, can I talk to you
for a second?

472
00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:05,221
Yeah, of course, Harvey.

473
00:19:05,353 --> 00:19:07,811
- You know my door's always open to you.
- Good.

474
00:19:07,897 --> 00:19:10,856
Robert and I are taking a case
that you might not like,

475
00:19:10,941 --> 00:19:12,557
and since you're
managing partner now...

476
00:19:12,652 --> 00:19:14,439
Well, Harvey,
let me stop you right there.

477
00:19:14,528 --> 00:19:15,769
Already?

478
00:19:15,863 --> 00:19:18,446
Yeah, I don't need to hear any more.
Good luck with your case.

479
00:19:18,532 --> 00:19:21,445
So you don't even want to hear
what it is before saying

480
00:19:21,535 --> 00:19:22,638
you're good with me
taking it?

481
00:19:22,662 --> 00:19:24,995
No, I don't, because you're good
with you taking it.

482
00:19:25,081 --> 00:19:26,447
Louis, if this is some kind

483
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:29,078
of Jedi mind trick
that Lipschitz taught you...

484
00:19:29,168 --> 00:19:31,730
I don't even know who Jed Mindtrick is,
but what I do know is that

485
00:19:31,754 --> 00:19:34,542
I intend to be the world's best delegator,
and if I'm gonna do that,

486
00:19:34,632 --> 00:19:36,464
there is no way
I can try to tame you.

487
00:19:36,550 --> 00:19:38,111
- Well, in that case...
- And what I definitely can't do

488
00:19:38,135 --> 00:19:40,455
is put a saddle on you, much less
try to ride you bareback.

489
00:19:41,347 --> 00:19:43,964
- Ride me what, now?
- Bareback.

490
00:19:44,058 --> 00:19:47,142
I said ride you bareback.

491
00:19:47,228 --> 00:19:49,060
Please don't...

492
00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:50,262
Don't say "bareback" again.

493
00:19:50,356 --> 00:19:51,892
Why not? Harvey...

494
00:19:55,903 --> 00:19:56,939
Listen to me.

495
00:19:57,988 --> 00:20:00,605
You are a wild stallion,

496
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:03,192
and wild stallions
have to run free.

497
00:20:03,285 --> 00:20:04,776
Louis, I'm really
not comfortable

498
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:06,782
with where
this conversation's going.

499
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:08,283
No, no. (SHUSHING)

500
00:20:10,793 --> 00:20:14,753
All I'm saying is that
you're a magnificent steed

501
00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:17,877
that gallops wherever
the wind takes him,

502
00:20:17,967 --> 00:20:19,629
and I'm not
gonna ride you hard

503
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:23,338
until, you know, you're able to start
bucking underneath me.

504
00:20:23,431 --> 00:20:26,515
Now, you tell me, how is that
possibly uncomfortable?

505
00:20:27,143 --> 00:20:29,601
Nothing, Louis.
Nothing is uncomfortable.

506
00:20:29,687 --> 00:20:31,178
(SLAPS ON BACK)
Then giddyup, Harvey.

507
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,556
Giddyup.

508
00:20:37,194 --> 00:20:38,230
Hiyah!

509
00:20:41,115 --> 00:20:42,902
Katrina, it's after 10:00.

510
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:44,407
What are you
doing in here?

511
00:20:44,493 --> 00:20:46,280
I just got promoted, Donna.

512
00:20:46,370 --> 00:20:47,890
I'm not gonna take
my foot off the gas.

513
00:20:47,955 --> 00:20:49,366
I wouldn't expect you to.

514
00:20:50,332 --> 00:20:51,618
So whose tab
are you running up?

515
00:20:52,835 --> 00:20:53,871
What?

516
00:20:54,503 --> 00:20:55,539
Who's the client?

517
00:20:56,589 --> 00:20:57,705
Kappa Financial.

518
00:20:57,798 --> 00:21:00,791
I thought that settlement was
locked for closing tomorrow.

519
00:21:00,885 --> 00:21:02,672
Just making some
last-minute tweaks.

520
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:06,713
Katrina, what's going on?

521
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:09,327
Why would something
be going on?

522
00:21:09,351 --> 00:21:11,351
Because if you were just making
last-minute tweaks,

523
00:21:11,395 --> 00:21:15,264
then either Brian would be doing it,
or some paralegal would.

524
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:19,317
Samantha wants me to make good
on what I did for Alex.

525
00:21:19,987 --> 00:21:22,424
You mean what Harvey asked you
to do and what I advised you to do

526
00:21:22,448 --> 00:21:23,800
even though you didn't
want to do it?

527
00:21:23,824 --> 00:21:25,531
That's what I mean.

528
00:21:25,618 --> 00:21:28,110
And don't tell me,
it's not exactly ethical.

529
00:21:28,204 --> 00:21:31,447
No, it's not,
but if I do it right,

530
00:21:31,540 --> 00:21:34,533
the worst that'll happen is,
we'll lose a client.

531
00:21:34,627 --> 00:21:36,387
And if you do it wrong,
you'll get disbarred.

532
00:21:36,462 --> 00:21:38,545
What difference does it make?
I don't have a choice.

533
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:41,169
It won't make any difference
if you refuse to do it.

534
00:21:41,550 --> 00:21:43,166
Have you met
Samantha Wheeler?

535
00:21:44,261 --> 00:21:46,002
I'm not going to make
an enemy out of her.

536
00:21:46,096 --> 00:21:48,179
I have met her,
and I can talk to her about...

537
00:21:48,265 --> 00:21:50,145
And I don't want you
fighting my battles for me.

538
00:21:50,226 --> 00:21:53,219
Then fight them yourself,
because you're a senior partner now,

539
00:21:53,312 --> 00:21:55,593
and you need to decide
what kind of lawyer you want to be.

540
00:21:56,023 --> 00:21:59,107
I want to be the kind of lawyer
who runs her own firm.

541
00:21:59,860 --> 00:22:03,729
And look at the ones who have,
Jessica, Robert, Harvey.

542
00:22:03,823 --> 00:22:05,189
They all do shit like this.

543
00:22:06,492 --> 00:22:08,609
Maybe they do,

544
00:22:08,702 --> 00:22:10,694
but you know what else
they all have in common?

545
00:22:12,164 --> 00:22:13,871
None of them are pushovers.

546
00:22:19,797 --> 00:22:22,255
ANNOUNCER: (ON TV)
<i>Four clean strikes in a row.</i>

547
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:24,458
<i>Crosby doesn't look swayed.</i>

548
00:22:24,552 --> 00:22:26,293
- Talk to Louis?
- I did.

549
00:22:26,387 --> 00:22:27,628
And?

550
00:22:27,721 --> 00:22:30,805
Evidently, I'm a wild stallion
who needs to run free.

551
00:22:30,891 --> 00:22:33,099
In other words, we're being
managed by a crazy person.

552
00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:35,580
Speaking of being managed,
it's nice to see that I can count on you

553
00:22:35,604 --> 00:22:37,846
to roll up your sleeves
in my absence.

554
00:22:37,940 --> 00:22:40,001
You think I'm watching this
thing for my own amusement?

555
00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:41,920
I sure don't think you're planning
on making a comeback.

556
00:22:41,944 --> 00:22:43,901
I was watching it to see
if I got played.

557
00:22:43,988 --> 00:22:45,320
What are you talking about?

558
00:22:45,406 --> 00:22:48,570
I'm talking about all those last-minute
bets just shy of the limit.

559
00:22:48,659 --> 00:22:51,367
That couldn't have been just coincidence,
so I called in a favor,

560
00:22:51,453 --> 00:22:52,739
and I got some specifics.

561
00:22:52,830 --> 00:22:54,349
You mean Samantha
called in a favor for you?

562
00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:55,955
Me, Samantha,
doesn't matter.

563
00:22:56,292 --> 00:22:58,534
I found out
who placed those bets,

564
00:22:58,627 --> 00:23:01,040
and each and every one of those people
are connected to Jim.

565
00:23:01,130 --> 00:23:03,090
Robert, I told you,
I looked the man in the eye...

566
00:23:03,132 --> 00:23:04,168
Let me finish.

567
00:23:04,258 --> 00:23:06,750
The total winnings
of those long shots

568
00:23:06,844 --> 00:23:08,710
was $2 million,
and we both know

569
00:23:08,804 --> 00:23:11,342
Jim Allen would be a dumbass
if he risked his empire

570
00:23:11,432 --> 00:23:12,548
for a payout that small.

571
00:23:12,641 --> 00:23:15,634
And Jim Allen's no dumbass,
which puts us back to square one.

572
00:23:15,728 --> 00:23:17,560
No, Harvey,

573
00:23:17,646 --> 00:23:19,478
it puts us right back
in the ring.

574
00:23:19,565 --> 00:23:21,727
Because if all of those people
are in Jim's orbit...

575
00:23:21,817 --> 00:23:23,558
They're in Ricky Crosby's
orbit, too.

576
00:23:23,652 --> 00:23:25,644
And it only takes one man
to throw a fight.

577
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:26,979
You think he played you.

578
00:23:28,324 --> 00:23:30,156
I think there's only
one way to find out.

579
00:23:30,701 --> 00:23:32,442
And for the record,

580
00:23:32,536 --> 00:23:35,620
my playbook is a lot deeper
than just Samantha Wheeler.

581
00:23:36,790 --> 00:23:37,893
So she did it for you, then.

582
00:23:37,917 --> 00:23:39,374
Yeah, that's exactly
what I'm saying.

583
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:42,373
Alex, where you been?

584
00:23:42,379 --> 00:23:44,024
- I've been looking for you all day.
- I'll tell you where I've been.

585
00:23:44,048 --> 00:23:45,768
I was out getting screwed
by Winthrop Hotels

586
00:23:45,841 --> 00:23:47,152
and figuring out
what to do about it.

587
00:23:47,176 --> 00:23:48,278
What do you mean,
getting screwed?

588
00:23:48,302 --> 00:23:50,669
I mean, I went in there
with a dozen win-win offers

589
00:23:50,763 --> 00:23:52,004
and they shot down every one.

590
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:53,554
Well, did you threaten
litigation?

591
00:23:53,641 --> 00:23:55,577
I threatened them with everything
but the kitchen sink.

592
00:23:55,601 --> 00:23:58,014
But the fact is, this contract's airtight,
and they know it.

593
00:23:58,103 --> 00:23:59,372
And what exactly
are you gonna do about it?

594
00:23:59,396 --> 00:24:02,639
Because if Thomas has to honor
that contract, he's out of business.

595
00:24:02,733 --> 00:24:04,975
No, Louis, he's not.

596
00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:07,944
- What are you talking about?
- I'm talking about slicing and dicing.

597
00:24:08,072 --> 00:24:09,925
- You want to run that by me again?
- Slicing and dicing is...

598
00:24:09,949 --> 00:24:11,941
You know, I know what
slicing and dicing is, Alex.

599
00:24:12,034 --> 00:24:13,178
Are you telling me
that your big idea

600
00:24:13,202 --> 00:24:15,285
is to split his commercial
division from his retail?

601
00:24:15,371 --> 00:24:17,766
Because I told you the survival
of his company was important to me.

602
00:24:17,790 --> 00:24:19,710
I know that, Louis,
but this is the only way out.

603
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:21,579
Cutting someone's arm off
is not a way out.

604
00:24:21,669 --> 00:24:23,376
It is if their life
depends on it.

605
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:25,565
And this way, we have a chance
to get Winthrop back to the table

606
00:24:25,589 --> 00:24:28,002
- before we cut anything off.
- Alex, listen to me.

607
00:24:28,092 --> 00:24:29,879
We are not going back
to Thomas saying,

608
00:24:29,969 --> 00:24:32,461
"Congratulations, now you're
a three-legged dog."

609
00:24:32,554 --> 00:24:34,762
And I'm telling you
this is the only play.

610
00:24:34,848 --> 00:24:36,214
You're... (SMACKS LIPS)

611
00:24:36,642 --> 00:24:37,758
You know what?

612
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,721
This was a mistake.

613
00:24:40,479 --> 00:24:41,936
I take full responsibility
for it.

614
00:24:42,022 --> 00:24:44,125
Things were fine the way they were,
and I do not want them to change.

615
00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:46,349
Louis, it doesn't matter
whether you handle this or I...

616
00:24:46,402 --> 00:24:48,519
God damn it, Alex,

617
00:24:48,612 --> 00:24:50,069
it may be the only play
for you,

618
00:24:50,155 --> 00:24:51,566
but it is not for me!

619
00:24:52,282 --> 00:24:55,491
Now, I told you I would do anything
to keep him alive,

620
00:24:55,577 --> 00:24:58,069
and it's gonna start with me
taking back this case.

621
00:25:05,212 --> 00:25:06,373
- Louis...
- Gretchen,

622
00:25:06,463 --> 00:25:09,627
whatever it is, I don't have time 'cause
Alex shit the bed with Thomas

623
00:25:09,717 --> 00:25:11,879
- and I need to fix it.
- Well, you better make time,

624
00:25:11,969 --> 00:25:15,258
because Andrew Malik just trashed
this firm in the <i>Journal.</i>

625
00:25:16,473 --> 00:25:18,089
Shit, so that's
what he's up to.

626
00:25:18,225 --> 00:25:20,057
- You want me to get Harvey in here?
- No.

627
00:25:20,894 --> 00:25:22,580
It's his case.
I don't want to get involved.

628
00:25:22,604 --> 00:25:25,768
Well, if you ask me, you need
to let Alex handle his business

629
00:25:25,858 --> 00:25:28,441
and start making sure
Harvey isn't ruining yours.

630
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:30,564
Gretchen, I appreciate you
bringing me this,

631
00:25:30,654 --> 00:25:33,567
but what I need is to run my firm
how I feel it should be run,

632
00:25:33,657 --> 00:25:35,497
and right now, that means
taking care of Thomas

633
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:38,026
and trusting that Harvey
will take care of himself.

634
00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:40,320
You're the boss.

635
00:25:48,088 --> 00:25:50,956
- Well, that was fast.
- Told you, I'm good at what I do.

636
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,666
These are the top three
candidates in the city.

637
00:25:53,761 --> 00:25:57,129
You are not gonna find
a more qualified lawyer anywhere.

638
00:25:57,222 --> 00:25:59,009
- Oh, okay.
- But you should hire this one.

639
00:26:02,227 --> 00:26:04,685
I'm sorry, you want me
to pass on these superheroes

640
00:26:04,772 --> 00:26:09,016
for a guy who graduated middle
of his class from SUNY Buffalo?

641
00:26:09,109 --> 00:26:11,029
Did you check to see
whether my nana's available?

642
00:26:11,153 --> 00:26:13,110
Thomas,
he didn't go to Harvard

643
00:26:13,197 --> 00:26:16,406
and he graduated the middle
of his class for the same reason.

644
00:26:16,492 --> 00:26:18,734
He was working full-time
to put himself through school.

645
00:26:18,827 --> 00:26:21,865
And if you give him a shot, he will
go to the ends of the earth for you.

646
00:26:23,457 --> 00:26:25,897
And on top of that, you're gonna love him.
He's just like you.

647
00:26:26,085 --> 00:26:27,576
- Handsome.
- Stupid.

648
00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:28,830
But is he funny?

649
00:26:28,921 --> 00:26:30,378
Because he can't be
funnier than me.

650
00:26:30,464 --> 00:26:32,501
We can't have that here.
It's bad for morale.

651
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,151
Not so much other people's, just mine,
but still, it... You know?

652
00:26:35,677 --> 00:26:36,758
Can I go now?

653
00:26:37,179 --> 00:26:38,886
- Yes, you can.
- (CHUCKLES)

654
00:26:39,098 --> 00:26:40,839
And listen,
thank you for this.

655
00:26:40,933 --> 00:26:42,035
Um, I'm gonna meet
with Brendon

656
00:26:42,059 --> 00:26:43,339
- just as soon as I can.
- Great.

657
00:26:43,393 --> 00:26:45,663
Oh, and would you tell Louis that
I'm gonna send those contracts over

658
00:26:45,687 --> 00:26:46,723
at the end of the day?

659
00:26:47,106 --> 00:26:48,392
- Louis?
- Yeah.

660
00:26:48,482 --> 00:26:49,959
I gotta say, I really
appreciate the fact

661
00:26:49,983 --> 00:26:52,441
that he hasn't just
handed me off to somebody else.

662
00:26:52,528 --> 00:26:53,630
I didn't think
that he would keep me,

663
00:26:53,654 --> 00:26:55,298
considering he's got
an entire firm to run now,

664
00:26:55,322 --> 00:26:57,188
but pretty amazing guy.

665
00:26:57,658 --> 00:26:58,739
Yes, he is.

666
00:27:01,161 --> 00:27:02,430
Let me know
how it goes with Brendon.

667
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:03,570
Will do.

668
00:27:05,791 --> 00:27:07,157
(GRUNTING)

669
00:27:07,376 --> 00:27:08,492
(PANTING)

670
00:27:08,836 --> 00:27:09,917
I'm done, baby.

671
00:27:10,671 --> 00:27:13,288
Looking good, champ.
Getting ready for a rematch?

672
00:27:13,382 --> 00:27:15,248
- You're Jim's lawyer, right?
- I am.

673
00:27:15,342 --> 00:27:16,694
I'm gonna need your help
with his defense,

674
00:27:16,718 --> 00:27:19,085
but I gotta tell you,
I've been boxing for 30 years,

675
00:27:19,179 --> 00:27:22,013
and it's not often you get
to come face-to-face with the likes of you.

676
00:27:22,099 --> 00:27:24,136
You looking to test yourself,
that's a bad idea.

677
00:27:24,226 --> 00:27:26,468
I'm just here to pick your brain.
The guy I spar with,

678
00:27:26,562 --> 00:27:27,723
whenever he throws me a hook,

679
00:27:27,813 --> 00:27:29,374
- I never see it coming.
- See, here's the thing.

680
00:27:29,398 --> 00:27:31,936
You don't have to see it coming
as long as you move inside.

681
00:27:32,067 --> 00:27:34,980
- You're saying work the body?
- I'm saying you... (GRUNTS)

682
00:27:35,070 --> 00:27:37,423
That right kidney enough times,
he ain't throwing that hook.

683
00:27:37,447 --> 00:27:39,592
Yeah, but you go to the body too often.
What about the uppercut?

684
00:27:39,616 --> 00:27:41,482
Yeah, that's why
you gotta stick and move.

685
00:27:41,827 --> 00:27:44,740
But if you stick and move, you could
walk right into that left cross.

686
00:27:44,830 --> 00:27:46,992
That can't hurt you as long
as you keep your hands up.

687
00:27:47,082 --> 00:27:48,618
Then let me ask you
something, Ricky.

688
00:27:48,709 --> 00:27:50,990
Why the hell didn't you keep
your hands up against Alonzo?

689
00:27:51,253 --> 00:27:53,336
- What?
- You dropped your hands against Alonzo,

690
00:27:53,422 --> 00:27:54,458
and I know why.

691
00:27:54,548 --> 00:27:56,255
You took a dive.

692
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:58,799
Yo, what the fuck
you just say to me, man?

693
00:27:58,886 --> 00:28:01,030
'Cause anyone that knows me
knows I would never do that.

694
00:28:01,054 --> 00:28:03,592
Really? Because I have a whole list
of people that know you,

695
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:05,594
and if I have to put them
on the witness stand,

696
00:28:05,684 --> 00:28:08,267
they're gonna testify that you
told them to bet against you.

697
00:28:08,353 --> 00:28:10,393
So unless you're telling me
that Jim was in on it...

698
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,766
Jim had nothing to do with it.

699
00:28:11,857 --> 00:28:14,190
Then you better call a lawyer
and you better call one fast.

700
00:28:14,276 --> 00:28:15,392
Wait, stop!

701
00:28:16,528 --> 00:28:19,362
I would've killed
to be in your shoes.

702
00:28:19,448 --> 00:28:21,485
You had your whole career
ahead of you.

703
00:28:21,575 --> 00:28:23,942
I didn't have shit
ahead of me!

704
00:28:24,036 --> 00:28:25,527
What are you
talking about?

705
00:28:28,290 --> 00:28:30,407
Three months ago,
I went to go pick up

706
00:28:30,500 --> 00:28:32,537
my daughter from
kindergarten, all right?

707
00:28:32,628 --> 00:28:36,542
At a certain point, I didn't remember
why I was in my car or where I was going.

708
00:28:36,632 --> 00:28:40,626
Drove around an hour,
trying to remember,

709
00:28:40,719 --> 00:28:43,052
till the school
finally called me.

710
00:28:43,138 --> 00:28:46,256
Yo, I'm 35 years old, man.
You know how messed up that is?

711
00:28:46,350 --> 00:28:47,466
I know how messed up it is

712
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:50,302
to let Jim go on trial
for a crime you committed.

713
00:28:50,395 --> 00:28:52,432
Well, Jim hadn't been
getting his head bashed in

714
00:28:52,522 --> 00:28:54,479
since he was 15, all right?

715
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:56,933
And I need to provide
for my family.

716
00:28:57,027 --> 00:28:59,690
'Cause where am I gonna be
in 10 years, huh?

717
00:28:59,780 --> 00:29:02,272
Am I gonna be able
to hold down a job?

718
00:29:02,366 --> 00:29:04,983
Am I gonna need somebody
to wipe my ass?

719
00:29:05,077 --> 00:29:06,613
I don't know, Ricky.

720
00:29:06,703 --> 00:29:08,990
All I know is,
Jim is innocent.

721
00:29:09,081 --> 00:29:11,539
And it's my job to make sure
the world knows it.

722
00:29:16,546 --> 00:29:18,208
Louis?
I just talked to Thomas,

723
00:29:18,298 --> 00:29:20,290
and he said you took
the case back from Alex.

724
00:29:20,384 --> 00:29:22,403
Yeah, I did, because he wanted
to mutilate the man's company,

725
00:29:22,427 --> 00:29:23,529
and I'm not gonna
let him do that.

726
00:29:23,553 --> 00:29:24,589
What about your company?

727
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,360
Because I'm willing to bet
my entire salary

728
00:29:26,390 --> 00:29:28,701
that you haven't even looked
at the stack of files that I left you.

729
00:29:28,725 --> 00:29:30,261
I was working on it, Donna.

730
00:29:30,352 --> 00:29:32,059
Then Gretchen walked in
with...

731
00:29:33,272 --> 00:29:34,308
With what?

732
00:29:39,528 --> 00:29:40,648
I don't believe this.

733
00:29:40,654 --> 00:29:42,882
- What are you gonna do about that?
- I'm not gonna do anything.

734
00:29:42,906 --> 00:29:44,133
Malik's making us
look like shit,

735
00:29:44,157 --> 00:29:46,365
and you're gonna at least
talk to Harvey about it?

736
00:29:46,451 --> 00:29:49,194
No, I'm not. And I'm gonna tell you
exactly what I told Gretchen.

737
00:29:49,288 --> 00:29:51,530
I am managing this firm
as I see fit.

738
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:54,115
Then I'll tell you
what Gretchen should have.

739
00:29:54,209 --> 00:29:55,249
You're doing a shitty job.

740
00:29:55,335 --> 00:29:56,701
Excuse me?

741
00:29:56,795 --> 00:29:58,189
You're doing a shitty job
as managing partner,

742
00:29:58,213 --> 00:29:59,941
and I'm not gonna let that
happen for another second.

743
00:29:59,965 --> 00:30:02,002
You're not gonna let this...
I'm your goddamn boss!

744
00:30:02,092 --> 00:30:05,631
- Yeah, because I put you there!
- No, you didn't put me shit!

745
00:30:05,721 --> 00:30:07,963
You begged me
to save this firm, and I did.

746
00:30:08,056 --> 00:30:10,343
Then while we're talking
about this firm and bosses,

747
00:30:10,434 --> 00:30:12,801
you're also Harvey's boss
and you're Robert's boss,

748
00:30:12,894 --> 00:30:14,289
and you haven't been
overseeing them.

749
00:30:14,313 --> 00:30:16,555
You said to delegate,
and that is exactly what I did.

750
00:30:16,648 --> 00:30:19,061
You weren't delegating, Louis.
You were abdicating.

751
00:30:20,610 --> 00:30:22,067
And you're using
Thomas' case

752
00:30:22,154 --> 00:30:23,715
to stay in your
comfort zone rather than...

753
00:30:23,739 --> 00:30:25,901
I am not giving up my clients.

754
00:30:28,035 --> 00:30:29,776
Well, I'm sorry
to tell you this, Louis,

755
00:30:29,870 --> 00:30:31,532
but what you want
doesn't matter anymore.

756
00:30:31,997 --> 00:30:33,224
And I'll tell you
something else.

757
00:30:33,248 --> 00:30:35,331
It's not about your clients
anymore either.

758
00:30:35,417 --> 00:30:38,160
It is about steering the ship.

759
00:30:39,755 --> 00:30:41,337
And you haven't been
steering anything.

760
00:30:49,222 --> 00:30:52,056
Katrina. Funny, I was just
coming to see you.

761
00:30:52,142 --> 00:30:53,383
Well, that won't
be necessary.

762
00:30:53,685 --> 00:30:55,551
I assume that means
you've done what I asked.

763
00:30:55,645 --> 00:30:57,887
No. I did what Donna asked.

764
00:30:57,981 --> 00:31:00,473
She figured out what was going on
and wanted to step in.

765
00:31:00,567 --> 00:31:02,980
And let me guess, you said
you'd rather handle me yourself.

766
00:31:03,779 --> 00:31:05,361
I did.

767
00:31:05,447 --> 00:31:07,484
And like I said,

768
00:31:07,574 --> 00:31:09,031
this isn't what
you asked me to do.

769
00:31:09,618 --> 00:31:10,654
Then what is it?

770
00:31:10,744 --> 00:31:13,828
I went through Dexhart's files
and found $10 million in savings

771
00:31:13,914 --> 00:31:16,031
by closing loopholes
in their policy exclusions.

772
00:31:16,124 --> 00:31:17,740
They lost $80 million.

773
00:31:17,834 --> 00:31:19,826
And if you can't
explain to them

774
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,272
that this is just
the tip of the iceberg

775
00:31:21,296 --> 00:31:23,879
in making them whole,
that's on you.

776
00:31:24,591 --> 00:31:28,551
What's on me is to say
that you will not determine

777
00:31:28,637 --> 00:31:30,424
the type of lawyer
I want to be.

778
00:31:31,098 --> 00:31:32,589
What is that supposed to mean?

779
00:31:32,682 --> 00:31:35,971
It means I looked into those
details like Louis would.

780
00:31:36,061 --> 00:31:37,848
I found another way
like Harvey would.

781
00:31:37,938 --> 00:31:43,479
And you want me to accept it
like who would?

782
00:31:43,568 --> 00:31:45,901
Because you left out Robert.

783
00:31:45,987 --> 00:31:48,980
And I don't think, if you did to him
what you did to me, he'd accept it.

784
00:31:49,074 --> 00:31:52,533
And I don't think Robert would've done
what you did to me in the first place.

785
00:31:53,829 --> 00:31:57,368
But in addition to this,
I'm willing to say I owe you one.

786
00:31:57,457 --> 00:32:00,245
So make an enemy of me,
or not.

787
00:32:00,335 --> 00:32:01,735
That's the best
you're going to get.

788
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:08,416
- Well?
- "Well," what?

789
00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:10,797
I just got a call from Ricky
telling me what happened

790
00:32:10,887 --> 00:32:12,073
and asking me
what we're gonna do.

791
00:32:12,097 --> 00:32:13,199
What do you think
we're gonna do?

792
00:32:13,223 --> 00:32:15,034
We're gonna wait for Malik
to make a fool of himself

793
00:32:15,058 --> 00:32:16,661
and then show the world
he got the wrong guy.

794
00:32:16,685 --> 00:32:18,551
In other words,
throw Ricky under the bus.

795
00:32:18,645 --> 00:32:21,604
Not in other words,
in those exact words.

796
00:32:21,690 --> 00:32:23,727
Harvey, the man
has brain damage.

797
00:32:23,817 --> 00:32:25,479
I don't give a shit
what he has.

798
00:32:25,569 --> 00:32:27,561
He was gonna let his
mentor go to prison.

799
00:32:27,654 --> 00:32:30,021
You don't know what he would've done
if it had come to that.

800
00:32:30,115 --> 00:32:32,232
I know that he threw a fight
in the sport I love

801
00:32:32,325 --> 00:32:34,487
and what happens to him
isn't my problem.

802
00:32:34,578 --> 00:32:36,865
You must live in a damn nice
glass house,

803
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:38,724
because I know for a fact
that you threw a fight

804
00:32:38,748 --> 00:32:40,101
on behalf of
one of your own clients.

805
00:32:40,125 --> 00:32:41,561
If you're talking about
Reform Corp...

806
00:32:41,585 --> 00:32:43,292
I'm talking about
William Sutter.

807
00:32:44,087 --> 00:32:45,749
You think Rachel
never told me about that?

808
00:32:45,839 --> 00:32:47,375
That was to get Mike
out of prison.

809
00:32:47,466 --> 00:32:50,049
And Ricky threw a fight
to take care of his family.

810
00:32:50,135 --> 00:32:52,843
Look, if you're so sure of yourself,
what do you think we should do?

811
00:32:52,929 --> 00:32:54,824
We should go to Malik,
tell him he has the wrong guy,

812
00:32:54,848 --> 00:32:56,555
and cut the best deal
we can for Ricky.

813
00:32:56,641 --> 00:32:57,677
Are you out of your mind?

814
00:32:57,767 --> 00:33:00,100
We took this thing
to get payback for Jessica.

815
00:33:00,187 --> 00:33:02,019
Ricky is our trump card.

816
00:33:02,105 --> 00:33:05,143
Now, if you're not okay with this,
the door is right there.

817
00:33:05,233 --> 00:33:08,476
I'm not going anywhere, and this case is
as much mine as it is yours.

818
00:33:08,570 --> 00:33:10,562
It's not either
one of yours. It's mine.

819
00:33:10,655 --> 00:33:13,022
- Excuse me?
- I said it is mine.

820
00:33:13,116 --> 00:33:15,733
I'm not gonna let you jeopardize
this firm with some vendetta.

821
00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:18,285
What happened to me
being a wild stallion?

822
00:33:18,371 --> 00:33:21,614
What happened is,
I was afraid to tell you the truth.

823
00:33:21,708 --> 00:33:23,950
And the truth is,
I am running this place,

824
00:33:24,044 --> 00:33:25,563
and we all need
to get on board with that,

825
00:33:25,587 --> 00:33:27,829
and it starts with you
reading me in.

826
00:33:28,798 --> 00:33:30,664
Okay, Louis.
We'll read you in.

827
00:33:30,759 --> 00:33:33,797
But there is no way
I am letting Malik off the hook.

828
00:33:38,433 --> 00:33:40,265
Look, we've been
over this all night.

829
00:33:40,352 --> 00:33:43,390
It comes down to a choice
between cutting Ricky a deal

830
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,813
and payback with Malik,
and I am not going to...

831
00:33:45,899 --> 00:33:48,232
Wait a second.
Payback. That's it.

832
00:33:48,318 --> 00:33:51,561
What's "it," Louis?
Where are you going with this?

833
00:33:51,655 --> 00:33:54,050
How much revenue has Jim lost
since these charges were brought?

834
00:33:54,074 --> 00:33:55,986
I don't know.
His license is suspended.

835
00:33:56,076 --> 00:33:57,178
He hasn't been able
to book a fight.

836
00:33:57,202 --> 00:33:58,238
Why, what's your point?

837
00:33:58,328 --> 00:34:00,115
My point is, once we show
that he's innocent,

838
00:34:00,205 --> 00:34:01,974
someone needs to pay back
all the revenue he's lost.

839
00:34:01,998 --> 00:34:03,489
That someone is Andrew Malik.

840
00:34:03,583 --> 00:34:06,303
Louis, I don't want to take his money.
I want to ruin his reputation.

841
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:09,337
What Louis is saying
is that Malik won't pay it.

842
00:34:09,422 --> 00:34:10,538
The state will.

843
00:34:10,632 --> 00:34:12,248
Which means the voters will.

844
00:34:12,342 --> 00:34:14,379
Are you talking about
suing him for compensation

845
00:34:14,469 --> 00:34:16,176
under the Wrongful
Prosecution Act?

846
00:34:16,263 --> 00:34:17,970
You bet your sweet
hindquarters I am.

847
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:19,763
Which means he either
cuts Ricky a deal,

848
00:34:19,849 --> 00:34:22,933
or any higher-office aspirations he has,
they're done.

849
00:34:23,019 --> 00:34:26,103
You think Jim Allen will forgo a lawsuit
just to get Ricky a better deal?

850
00:34:26,189 --> 00:34:28,977
Once he finds out why Ricky did it,
yeah, he will.

851
00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:32,185
Wait, Harvey, there's only one problem.
You wanted to ruin Malik's reputation.

852
00:34:32,279 --> 00:34:33,395
This deal won't do that.

853
00:34:33,822 --> 00:34:35,529
You leave that to me.

854
00:34:35,615 --> 00:34:37,447
And, Louis,

855
00:34:37,534 --> 00:34:38,775
you're a genius.

856
00:34:39,244 --> 00:34:41,281
No, Harvey. I'm just...

857
00:34:43,248 --> 00:34:44,614
I'm managing partner.

858
00:34:50,589 --> 00:34:51,750
What's that for?

859
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,423
Your wife told me you were here.
I wanted to pick up the check.

860
00:34:55,468 --> 00:34:57,255
I'm sorry, Alex.

861
00:34:57,345 --> 00:34:59,257
I gave you the case,
and I need to trust

862
00:34:59,347 --> 00:35:01,227
that you're gonna bring it home
how you see fit.

863
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:02,841
Well, I'm sorry too.

864
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:04,453
- What do you mean?
- I gave up too quickly.

865
00:35:04,477 --> 00:35:05,580
If it weren't for you
pushing me,

866
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:07,039
I wouldn't have figured
the way out of this thing.

867
00:35:07,063 --> 00:35:09,680
- The way out?
- Yes, Louis, the way out.

868
00:35:09,774 --> 00:35:10,855
Because I got to thinking.

869
00:35:10,942 --> 00:35:12,478
Larry didn't just
make one mistake.

870
00:35:12,569 --> 00:35:14,185
He made two.

871
00:35:14,279 --> 00:35:15,941
He never ran
the final contract by you.

872
00:35:16,031 --> 00:35:18,391
Holy shit, he didn't. And he always does
because he knows...

873
00:35:18,450 --> 00:35:19,782
That you'll catch
any mistake.

874
00:35:19,868 --> 00:35:21,095
Which means
he didn't make a mistake.

875
00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:22,906
No, Louis,
it was on purpose.

876
00:35:22,996 --> 00:35:25,534
And isn't it a coincidence
that Larry just signed a contract

877
00:35:25,624 --> 00:35:27,081
to work at a subsidiary
of Winthrop?

878
00:35:27,834 --> 00:35:29,041
Alex, this is brilliant.

879
00:35:29,127 --> 00:35:30,563
We need to get them
on the phone right now.

880
00:35:30,587 --> 00:35:31,794
Already taken care of, Louis.

881
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,462
Contract is back
exactly the way it was.

882
00:35:33,548 --> 00:35:37,588
Well, with a 25% increase,
and by 25%, I mean 40%.

883
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:39,377
(CHUCKLES)

884
00:35:39,638 --> 00:35:40,674
Nice work, Alex.

885
00:35:40,764 --> 00:35:42,300
Right back at you, Louis.

886
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,354
Let me get this straight.
You'll come at me for Jim Allen's losses

887
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,978
if I prosecute Ricky Crosby,
who you know is guilty

888
00:35:53,068 --> 00:35:54,628
and wasn't even your client
until today?

889
00:35:54,694 --> 00:35:56,105
What he was isn't important.

890
00:35:56,196 --> 00:35:57,903
What he is,
is getting a deal.

891
00:35:57,989 --> 00:36:00,106
So take your medicine
and count yourself lucky

892
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,736
that we're willing
to horse-trade.

893
00:36:01,826 --> 00:36:03,679
Because if we weren't,
you'd be fucked right now.

894
00:36:03,703 --> 00:36:06,116
Which you are anyway
because you're gonna be issuing

895
00:36:06,206 --> 00:36:08,619
a public apology for going
after an innocent man.

896
00:36:08,708 --> 00:36:09,744
No way.

897
00:36:09,834 --> 00:36:11,917
I admit that, it ruins me
for higher office.

898
00:36:12,003 --> 00:36:13,147
What do you think
I'm here for?

899
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:14,398
You wouldn't be
in this position

900
00:36:14,422 --> 00:36:16,703
if you didn't go after
an innocent man in the first place.

901
00:36:19,010 --> 00:36:22,174
I will issue an apology
first thing tomorrow.

902
00:36:22,263 --> 00:36:24,346
No, you will issue one now.

903
00:36:24,432 --> 00:36:26,452
'Cause we're not giving you
a chance to weasel out of this.

904
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:29,184
We even did you a solid
and wrote one up for you.

905
00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:31,762
Robert, did you know
there are 12 different synonyms

906
00:36:31,856 --> 00:36:32,972
for the word "incompetent"?

907
00:36:33,066 --> 00:36:35,934
After he signs this,
there's gonna be a 13th,

908
00:36:36,027 --> 00:36:37,063
"Malik."

909
00:36:39,114 --> 00:36:40,525
You know,
you think this is funny.

910
00:36:40,615 --> 00:36:42,982
But sob story or not,
a crime was committed here,

911
00:36:43,076 --> 00:36:46,490
and you are using it
to ruin my career.

912
00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:48,992
So you...

913
00:36:50,625 --> 00:36:52,036
You better watch your backs.

914
00:36:53,336 --> 00:36:55,874
Tomorrow's gonna be
what tomorrow's gonna be, Andy.

915
00:36:55,964 --> 00:36:57,751
But for today,

916
00:36:57,841 --> 00:37:00,049
Jessica Pearson
sends her regards.

917
00:37:11,646 --> 00:37:14,389
Katrina. I was just on my way out
to meet my wife for dinner.

918
00:37:14,482 --> 00:37:16,419
Then you're going to have
to push that reservation, Alex,

919
00:37:16,443 --> 00:37:18,462
because I'm not going to sit
on this for another minute.

920
00:37:18,486 --> 00:37:21,103
- Sit on what?
- The fact that you sold me out.

921
00:37:21,197 --> 00:37:23,359
- I did no such thing.
- Yes, you did.

922
00:37:23,450 --> 00:37:26,614
Because when you signed Gavin Andrews,
I specifically asked you

923
00:37:26,703 --> 00:37:29,181
to make sure that Samantha
never found out I gave you his name.

924
00:37:29,205 --> 00:37:30,946
And she never did
because I never told her.

925
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,999
Well, you might as well have.
Because two days ago, she came at me

926
00:37:34,085 --> 00:37:36,577
saying that she knew I was the one
who got those files for you

927
00:37:36,671 --> 00:37:38,628
and unless I did
some shady shit for her...

928
00:37:38,715 --> 00:37:39,751
Shit.

929
00:37:39,841 --> 00:37:42,027
Katrina, I'm gonna go tell her
right now to back the hell off.

930
00:37:42,051 --> 00:37:45,044
You're not gonna tell her
anything. I handled it.

931
00:37:45,138 --> 00:37:46,240
Then why are you
coming to me?

932
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:48,130
Because the silver lining
of this whole thing

933
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:51,808
is that it gave me a chance to figure out
what kind of lawyer I want to be.

934
00:37:51,895 --> 00:37:53,477
And the kind of lawyer
I want to be

935
00:37:53,563 --> 00:37:58,149
is one who tells you to never
put me in this position again.

936
00:37:59,444 --> 00:38:01,686
- Fair enough.
- Good.

937
00:38:02,113 --> 00:38:03,354
- Is that all?
- No.

938
00:38:03,448 --> 00:38:05,030
It's not.

939
00:38:05,116 --> 00:38:07,654
Because I also want to be
the kind who tells you...

940
00:38:09,037 --> 00:38:10,198
You owe me one.

942
00:38:20,715 --> 00:38:21,751
Hello, stupid.

943
00:38:21,841 --> 00:38:23,778
<i>Are you calling to tell me
how a certain interview went?</i>

944
00:38:23,802 --> 00:38:28,638
I am. Met with Brendon.
It went great. Hired him on the spot.

945
00:38:28,723 --> 00:38:31,591
- In other words, I'm amazing.
<i>- You are.</i>

946
00:38:31,684 --> 00:38:33,550
<i>Which brings me
to why I'm really calling.</i>

947
00:38:35,146 --> 00:38:37,466
I don't think Brendon's the only one
I have chemistry with.

948
00:38:39,859 --> 00:38:41,316
- Thomas...
- Have dinner with me.

949
00:38:41,402 --> 00:38:44,486
Thomas, I'm flattered,
but you're a client, and...

950
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:45,758
Before you finish,
let me just ask you this.

951
00:38:45,782 --> 00:38:47,648
If I wasn't a client,
what would you say?

952
00:38:49,369 --> 00:38:52,282
- I'd say yes.
<i>- Okay, then. Here's what I'm gonna do.</i>

953
00:38:52,956 --> 00:38:56,165
I'm gonna give you a bit of time,
I'm gonna ask you once more,

954
00:38:56,251 --> 00:39:00,040
and if you still feel the same way,
then I promise I will never ask again.

955
00:39:00,755 --> 00:39:01,962
<i>Fair?</i>

956
00:39:02,048 --> 00:39:03,960
- Fair.
<i>- Good.</i>

957
00:39:04,759 --> 00:39:06,716
And listen, Donna, either way,

958
00:39:06,803 --> 00:39:08,965
thank you for keeping
my business going.

959
00:39:13,434 --> 00:39:14,515
Donna?

960
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:17,970
- Can I talk to you for a minute?
- About what?

961
00:39:18,064 --> 00:39:19,475
About Katrina.

962
00:39:19,566 --> 00:39:21,148
Samantha, before you jump
all over me...

963
00:39:21,234 --> 00:39:24,272
I'm here to say
I shouldn't have done what I did.

964
00:39:25,530 --> 00:39:27,146
- But?
- But...

965
00:39:27,615 --> 00:39:29,415
You could have come
and told me that yourself.

966
00:39:29,450 --> 00:39:30,611
Maybe.

967
00:39:31,661 --> 00:39:33,994
But the more I do this,
the more I realize that sometimes

968
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,823
people just need to learn
things on their own.

969
00:39:37,876 --> 00:39:39,556
I guess I did need
to learn that on my own.

970
00:39:39,627 --> 00:39:40,913
No, I was talking
about Katrina.

971
00:39:41,004 --> 00:39:42,290
What about me?

972
00:39:42,797 --> 00:39:45,289
We were just saying
what a great lawyer you're gonna be.

973
00:39:45,383 --> 00:39:50,003
That's funny, because I was just coming
by to tell Donna what a great COO she is.

974
00:39:50,096 --> 00:39:53,760
Well, since we're passing out compliments,
what do you say we do it over drinks?

975
00:39:53,850 --> 00:39:55,637
- Fine by me.
- Me, too.

976
00:39:55,727 --> 00:39:57,413
How about we meet
in the lobby in 20 minutes?

977
00:39:57,437 --> 00:39:58,956
I've got something
I need to take care of.

978
00:39:58,980 --> 00:40:00,972
And if you run into Gretchen,

979
00:40:01,065 --> 00:40:02,931
I guarantee you,
we'll have a much better time.

980
00:40:06,321 --> 00:40:09,359
- Hey. Do you have a minute?
- LOUIS: Of course.

981
00:40:09,449 --> 00:40:12,738
I was actually just about
to get to the stack of things you left.

982
00:40:12,827 --> 00:40:14,534
- Listen, Louis...
- Donna, I'm sorry.

983
00:40:15,538 --> 00:40:17,404
Everything you said was right.

984
00:40:17,498 --> 00:40:19,285
I was avoiding the job.

985
00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:21,332
And if it hadn't been for you,

986
00:40:21,419 --> 00:40:23,126
I would've gone
right on avoiding it.

987
00:40:23,212 --> 00:40:25,875
I take it this means
you and Alex worked it out.

988
00:40:25,965 --> 00:40:29,174
- We did.
- Well, I'm sorry, too.

989
00:40:30,345 --> 00:40:33,053
I said terrible things to you,
and I didn't mean them,

990
00:40:33,139 --> 00:40:35,096
- and I shouldn't have said them, and...
- Donna.

991
00:40:35,183 --> 00:40:38,017
I know I didn't make you
managing partner, Louis.

992
00:40:39,395 --> 00:40:44,311
But I was a part of it,
and I felt responsible for it, and...

993
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,232
You didn't want to regret
making it happen.

994
00:40:46,319 --> 00:40:49,528
If I'm being really honest,
yeah.

995
00:40:51,658 --> 00:40:55,242
But the truth is, we all need
to learn in our own time,

996
00:40:55,370 --> 00:40:58,454
- and I just found out I'm no different.
- I'll tell you what.

997
00:40:58,790 --> 00:41:02,784
If I'm keeping score, I would say
we're both doing a pretty good job.

998
00:41:02,877 --> 00:41:06,461
And even if you didn't
put me here,

999
00:41:06,547 --> 00:41:08,880
Donna, I wouldn't be here
if it weren't for you.

1000
00:41:10,677 --> 00:41:14,136
So, co-managing partners?

1001
00:41:14,222 --> 00:41:17,306
- Let's not get carried away.
- Okay.

1002
00:41:17,392 --> 00:41:19,475
- Thank you, Donna.
- Thanks, Louis.

1003
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,678
Come on, Red.
Train's leaving the station. Let's go.

1004
00:41:23,439 --> 00:41:25,396
- So you're in.
- You kidding?

1005
00:41:25,483 --> 00:41:29,352
You think I'm gonna stay here and listen
to Louis' ideas on coed bathrooms

1006
00:41:29,445 --> 00:41:32,358
while you fools go out drinking,
you got another thing coming.

1007
00:41:32,448 --> 00:41:34,259
Wait a second. Are you guys going out?
Can I come?

1008
00:41:34,283 --> 00:41:35,319
- No.
- No.

1009
00:41:35,410 --> 00:41:36,762
That's fine. You guys just go out
and have a good time.

1010
00:41:36,786 --> 00:41:38,368
I got some cool shit
I gotta do.

1011
00:41:39,872 --> 00:41:43,206
I gotta hand it to you, Robert.
You really came through.

1012
00:41:43,292 --> 00:41:47,002
Right back at you, Harvey.
I'd say we did our girl proud.

1013
00:41:47,463 --> 00:41:49,204
- To Jessica.
- To Jessica.

1014
00:41:50,967 --> 00:41:52,111
- What?
- You know, I was just thinking.

1015
00:41:52,135 --> 00:41:55,503
I sold Jim that this case was <i>Rocky IV,</i>
but it turned out to be <i>Rocky III.</i>

1016
00:41:55,596 --> 00:41:58,930
You mean the one where Apollo
and Rocky come together to beat Mr. T?

1017
00:41:59,017 --> 00:42:00,977
Well, I sure as hell wasn't talking
about <i>Rocky V.</i>

1018
00:42:01,060 --> 00:42:02,955
Well, you know what happens
at the end of <i>Rocky III.</i>

1019
00:42:02,979 --> 00:42:05,312
Yeah, Rocky and Apollo
go toe-to-toe.

1020
00:42:05,398 --> 00:42:07,960
Let me guess, you're wondering
what would happen if we went toe-to-toe.

1021
00:42:07,984 --> 00:42:10,101
I don't need to wonder.
I know what'd happen.

1022
00:42:10,194 --> 00:42:11,230
I'd win.

1023
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:12,856
Whatever gets you
through the day.

1024
00:42:12,947 --> 00:42:14,904
- Holy shit.
- What?

1025
00:42:14,991 --> 00:42:18,610
We're in here arguing about
who's better between you and me.

1026
00:42:18,703 --> 00:42:22,287
What if Louis turns out to be a better
managing partner than both of us?

1027
00:42:22,373 --> 00:42:24,226
Jesus Christ, that would be
the worst <i>Rocky</i> ever.

1028
00:42:24,250 --> 00:42:26,788
No, <i>Rocky V</i> is still
the worst <i>Rocky</i> ever.

1029
00:42:26,878 --> 00:42:28,585
Finally, something
we can agree on.

1030
00:42:28,671 --> 00:42:30,754
Truth be told,
I never even saw <i>Rocky VI.</i>

1031
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,547
Neither did anybody else,
Robert.

1032
00:42:32,633 --> 00:42:36,377
You know, that new <i>Creed</i> franchise,
oh, that's quite a little something.

1033
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,507
- Really?
- Mmm-hmm.

1034
00:42:37,597 --> 00:42:39,533
Maybe I should watch it tonight.
Want to come over?

1035
00:42:39,557 --> 00:42:41,535
Do I look like I don't have
nothing to do but to come

1036
00:42:41,559 --> 00:42:43,516
and watch <i>Rocky VII</i>
with your lonely ass?

1037
00:42:43,603 --> 00:42:44,719
But I got popcorn.

1038
00:42:46,022 --> 00:42:47,058
I'll call Laura.
