1
00:00:02,462 --> 00:00:05,965
I can't afford Zane's buy-in.
- I pay you out of my own pocket
2
00:00:06,049 --> 00:00:08,593
and the partners find out,
it will cost me millions.
3
00:00:08,677 --> 00:00:10,512
Jessica, I need this.
4
00:00:10,595 --> 00:00:12,305
I'm actually
loaning you this money,
5
00:00:12,389 --> 00:00:13,598
and you're gonna
loan it to him,
6
00:00:13,682 --> 00:00:16,267
and if nobody
ever repays anybody,
7
00:00:16,351 --> 00:00:18,812
nobody's gonna give a shit.
Thank you.
8
00:00:18,895 --> 00:00:20,689
Harvey, it's time to take
my name off the wall.
9
00:00:20,772 --> 00:00:22,482
And what if I say
I accept it?
10
00:00:22,565 --> 00:00:23,942
Then you've got two things
to figure out.
11
00:00:24,025 --> 00:00:25,777
How much are you gonna spend
to buy me out,
12
00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:27,404
and how're you gonna
spin this thing?
13
00:00:27,529 --> 00:00:29,948
The second we cut her a check,
we don't have a leg to stand on in court.
14
00:00:30,031 --> 00:00:31,282
It's a one-way ticket
to bankruptcy.
15
00:00:31,366 --> 00:00:34,786
Well, I'm not letting that son of a bitch
back into the house Jessica took from him.
16
00:00:34,869 --> 00:00:36,913
Wait a second. Stanley Gordon
doesn't need money,
17
00:00:36,996 --> 00:00:38,832
he just wants the world to know
that Jessica's name's dog shit.
18
00:00:38,998 --> 00:00:40,542
If we put out
a public statement
19
00:00:40,625 --> 00:00:41,793
that throws Jessica
under the bus...
20
00:00:41,876 --> 00:00:43,044
No way.
We do this,
21
00:00:43,169 --> 00:00:45,588
Jessica gets paid,
we are free and clear.
22
00:00:45,672 --> 00:00:47,716
I was just wondering
if there's a reason why
23
00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:49,426
I just got a new lease
on my desk
24
00:00:49,509 --> 00:00:50,719
that's 10% less
than our last one.
25
00:00:50,802 --> 00:00:52,554
I just wanted to thank you
for keeping me.
26
00:00:52,637 --> 00:00:53,680
Before you go,
27
00:00:53,763 --> 00:00:55,557
do you want me
to pour us a drink?
28
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,893
What do you say we shake
things up and make it two?
29
00:01:13,742 --> 00:01:15,910
Nathan, what are you
doing here?
30
00:01:16,453 --> 00:01:19,205
Can I come in?
Yeah, of course.
31
00:01:19,497 --> 00:01:21,833
Thanks.
Can I get you a coffee or something?
32
00:01:21,916 --> 00:01:25,295
No, I'm good.
What's going on?
33
00:01:26,629 --> 00:01:29,090
Well, I don't know
how to say this,
34
00:01:29,174 --> 00:01:31,092
so I'm just going to say it.
35
00:01:31,176 --> 00:01:34,387
I got into a case.
It started getting to me,
36
00:01:34,471 --> 00:01:38,391
and the next thing I knew,
it turned into a class action.
37
00:01:39,017 --> 00:01:41,603
Nathan, you don't have the resources
to take on a class action.
38
00:01:41,686 --> 00:01:42,854
That didn't stop you
from taking on
39
00:01:42,937 --> 00:01:44,814
those miners last year.
No, it didn't.
40
00:01:44,898 --> 00:01:47,942
But I ended up needing to go
to Pearson Specter for help.
41
00:01:48,318 --> 00:01:49,778
Why do you think
I'm here now?
42
00:01:50,695 --> 00:01:52,697
You want me to ask my firm
to help you?
43
00:01:52,781 --> 00:01:55,700
I want your firm to make
an investment in the clinic.
44
00:01:55,784 --> 00:01:57,535
Nathan, that's never
going to happen.
45
00:01:57,619 --> 00:01:59,120
Well, I need
some kind of help.
46
00:01:59,496 --> 00:02:00,580
Because there are
a bunch of children
47
00:02:00,663 --> 00:02:01,831
who are never going
to live normal lives,
48
00:02:01,915 --> 00:02:03,124
and if I don't
think of something,
49
00:02:03,208 --> 00:02:05,460
I'm going to have to choose between them,
and keeping the clinic in business.
50
00:02:05,627 --> 00:02:08,171
Wait, wait, wait, what do you mean
they're never going to have normal lives?
51
00:02:08,838 --> 00:02:10,465
There's a school
in upstate New York.
52
00:02:10,632 --> 00:02:12,550
About 10 years ago,
Discharge Power started making
53
00:02:12,634 --> 00:02:14,302
batteries
a thousand yards away.
54
00:02:14,469 --> 00:02:16,596
Those kids started
getting lead poisoning.
55
00:02:17,514 --> 00:02:20,475
And they say it's not
from the plant, but it is.
56
00:02:21,810 --> 00:02:23,520
All right, I have an idea.
57
00:02:24,604 --> 00:02:25,730
But it's not giving you money,
58
00:02:25,814 --> 00:02:27,816
and it's not giving you
our associates.
59
00:02:31,820 --> 00:02:33,571
I know we drank
a few last night,
60
00:02:33,655 --> 00:02:36,366
but I'm pretty sure
you're in the wrong office.
61
00:02:36,449 --> 00:02:38,326
I was going to replace
the bottle we finished,
62
00:02:38,409 --> 00:02:40,370
but I can find it
another home.
63
00:02:40,453 --> 00:02:42,413
What's that they say
about great minds?
64
00:02:44,999 --> 00:02:47,043
Seriously, Donna,
it was nice just to hang out,
65
00:02:47,126 --> 00:02:49,170
and enjoy
each other's company.
66
00:02:49,504 --> 00:02:50,880
It sure was.
67
00:02:52,215 --> 00:02:55,677
So, things between us are...
68
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,220
Back to normal?
69
00:02:57,679 --> 00:02:59,514
If they are for you,
they are for me.
70
00:02:59,681 --> 00:03:00,723
Good.
71
00:03:02,684 --> 00:03:05,603
I hope you two didn't break
out the scotch on my behalf.
72
00:03:05,937 --> 00:03:08,273
I don't imbibe this early
unless I'm on vacation.
73
00:03:08,356 --> 00:03:10,108
I know
you're getting old, Stanley,
74
00:03:10,191 --> 00:03:11,401
but you're on
permanent vacation.
75
00:03:11,484 --> 00:03:12,777
Well, I hate
to break it to you,
76
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,362
but I'm stepping back
into the ring.
77
00:03:14,487 --> 00:03:16,072
That doesn't look like
a Christmas present.
78
00:03:16,155 --> 00:03:17,949
It's a lawsuit on behalf
of your former partners
79
00:03:18,032 --> 00:03:21,035
for damages incurred by the
criminal actions of this firm.
80
00:03:21,452 --> 00:03:23,204
What the hell
are you talking about?
81
00:03:23,288 --> 00:03:24,789
Every single partner
who left this firm
82
00:03:24,873 --> 00:03:27,125
after Mike Ross went to jail
is damaged goods.
83
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:29,085
Bullshit.
It's not bullshit.
84
00:03:29,210 --> 00:03:30,461
And in case
it hasn't occurred to you,
85
00:03:30,545 --> 00:03:32,463
once you put that statement out
about Jessica's disbarment,
86
00:03:32,547 --> 00:03:33,756
you made my case for me.
87
00:03:33,882 --> 00:03:37,093
Son of a... We issued
that statement to appease you.
88
00:03:37,176 --> 00:03:39,804
Hey, it wasn't my idea to throw
your mommy under the bus.
89
00:03:39,888 --> 00:03:41,139
It was your partner's.
90
00:03:41,222 --> 00:03:43,683
All I did was take advantage
of an opportunity.
91
00:03:43,766 --> 00:03:47,353
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a trial to prepare for.
92
00:03:56,404 --> 00:03:57,447
Harvey, we have a problem.
93
00:03:57,530 --> 00:03:59,324
Well, whatever it is,
it's going to have to wait.
94
00:03:59,407 --> 00:04:01,409
Because I just got a visit
from Stanley Gordon.
95
00:04:01,492 --> 00:04:03,286
Me too, he's suing us.
And what exactly are you
96
00:04:03,369 --> 00:04:04,495
planning to do about it?
97
00:04:04,579 --> 00:04:06,247
Because this whole thing
is your fault.
98
00:04:06,331 --> 00:04:07,874
My fault?
How is it my fault?
99
00:04:07,957 --> 00:04:09,834
You were the one who came up
with that idea to release
100
00:04:09,918 --> 00:04:11,920
that statement condemning
Jessica in the first place.
101
00:04:12,003 --> 00:04:14,631
Harvey, I am not the enemy here.
Stanley Gordon is.
102
00:04:14,714 --> 00:04:17,008
And I don't care how he twisted it.
It was a good idea.
103
00:04:17,091 --> 00:04:18,676
Well, we need
another good idea.
104
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,678
Because he's suing
for the exact amount
105
00:04:20,762 --> 00:04:23,097
of their original buy-ins.
Wait a second.
106
00:04:23,848 --> 00:04:25,266
This is about their buy-ins.
107
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,185
Of course
it's about their buy-ins.
108
00:04:27,310 --> 00:04:29,062
What difference does that make?
If we can prove
109
00:04:29,145 --> 00:04:31,230
that this is just a back door
way of getting that money back,
110
00:04:31,314 --> 00:04:34,609
we can get this thing dismissed
before it ever gets off the ground.
111
00:04:34,692 --> 00:04:35,902
All right.
112
00:04:35,985 --> 00:04:37,946
You get to work
on drafting a motion,
113
00:04:38,029 --> 00:04:39,906
I'm going to try
and get us some proof.
114
00:04:41,032 --> 00:04:43,117
Harvey, you think we should
let Jessica know?
115
00:04:43,534 --> 00:04:44,911
No, Louis, I don't.
116
00:04:44,994 --> 00:04:46,788
Because I'm not about
to tell Jessica
117
00:04:46,871 --> 00:04:49,624
that we issued a statement
condemning her for nothing.
118
00:04:53,628 --> 00:04:57,507
See the money,
wanna stay for your meal
119
00:04:57,590 --> 00:05:00,760
Get another piece of pie
for your wife
120
00:05:00,843 --> 00:05:03,846
Everybody wanna know
how it feel
121
00:05:03,930 --> 00:05:07,642
Everybody wanna see
what it's like
122
00:05:07,725 --> 00:05:10,561
I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind
123
00:05:10,645 --> 00:05:12,647
Me and missy is so early
124
00:05:12,730 --> 00:05:14,482
Busy, busy making money
125
00:05:14,607 --> 00:05:16,401
All right!
126
00:05:16,484 --> 00:05:20,822
All step back,
I'm 'bout to dance
127
00:05:21,948 --> 00:05:23,449
The greenback boogie
128
00:05:26,828 --> 00:05:28,371
Donna, have you seen Harvey?
129
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:31,666
He's out, Mike.
And he's going to be out for a while.
130
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,960
What happened?
We got hit with a lawsuit
131
00:05:34,043 --> 00:05:35,044
from Stanley Gordon.
132
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,588
The partners are coming
after their money,
133
00:05:37,672 --> 00:05:39,382
and they hired him to do it.
Shit.
134
00:05:39,507 --> 00:05:41,134
If we lose that...
I know.
135
00:05:41,217 --> 00:05:43,720
But it's Harvey and Louis, so
we don't need to go there yet.
136
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,598
Is there something
I can help you with?
137
00:05:47,682 --> 00:05:49,934
Donna,
the clinic's in trouble.
138
00:05:50,018 --> 00:05:52,729
Nathan came to me this morning
about asking Harvey for money,
139
00:05:52,812 --> 00:05:54,439
and...
Mike, there's no way.
140
00:05:54,522 --> 00:05:55,857
I know, and that's what
I told Nathan.
141
00:05:55,940 --> 00:05:56,941
Then what do you need?
142
00:05:57,025 --> 00:05:58,192
I need to pour
everything I have
143
00:05:58,276 --> 00:06:00,153
into one of his cases
until we win.
144
00:06:00,278 --> 00:06:03,114
And I know Harvey and I had our
share of problems this year,
145
00:06:03,197 --> 00:06:04,782
and I don't want
to add to them.
146
00:06:04,866 --> 00:06:07,869
Well, if you're asking
for my blessing, you have it.
147
00:06:09,037 --> 00:06:10,329
Thanks, Donna.
148
00:06:11,414 --> 00:06:13,082
Mike?
Yeah?
149
00:06:13,374 --> 00:06:14,751
What's the case?
150
00:06:15,209 --> 00:06:16,502
Kids with lead poisoning.
151
00:06:18,254 --> 00:06:19,630
Go get 'em.
152
00:06:28,222 --> 00:06:29,599
I was wondering
when you'd find me.
153
00:06:29,682 --> 00:06:31,100
What the hell is your name
doing on that suit?
154
00:06:31,184 --> 00:06:33,144
Harvey...
Because we both know
155
00:06:33,227 --> 00:06:34,270
Jessica made you whole.
156
00:06:34,353 --> 00:06:36,981
Which means you got no business
stabbing us in the back.
157
00:06:37,065 --> 00:06:38,566
I'm not stabbing
anyone, Harvey.
158
00:06:38,649 --> 00:06:40,860
Not only are you shoving
the knife in,
159
00:06:40,943 --> 00:06:43,029
you're getting paid twice
in the process.
160
00:06:43,112 --> 00:06:44,655
Think it through, Harvey.
161
00:06:45,406 --> 00:06:47,116
You know Jessica
gave me the buy-in.
162
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,035
None of them do.
163
00:06:49,118 --> 00:06:50,995
I refuse to sign on
to this thing,
164
00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:53,122
every one of them
figures out what happened,
165
00:06:53,206 --> 00:06:55,458
and it opens the floodgates
to them coming after
166
00:06:55,541 --> 00:06:56,959
their money legitimately,
167
00:06:57,043 --> 00:06:58,377
instead of through
the back door.
168
00:06:58,461 --> 00:07:00,171
So you're saying
I should thank you?
169
00:07:00,254 --> 00:07:02,298
I guess I am.
Not that you ever would.
170
00:07:02,381 --> 00:07:05,843
I'll thank you when you get those
clowns to back the hell off this claim.
171
00:07:06,094 --> 00:07:07,970
I can't do that.
Sure you can.
172
00:07:08,054 --> 00:07:09,472
You've always been
the ringleader.
173
00:07:09,555 --> 00:07:11,474
You give them some line
about this opening them up
174
00:07:11,557 --> 00:07:13,976
to countersuits
for breach of contract.
175
00:07:14,060 --> 00:07:15,770
They'll drop this
before the sun comes up.
176
00:07:15,937 --> 00:07:18,981
They're not idiots.
I try a stunt like that,
177
00:07:19,065 --> 00:07:21,818
I might as well have refused
to sign on in the first place.
178
00:07:21,943 --> 00:07:24,278
Jack, listen to me.
179
00:07:25,863 --> 00:07:27,115
This could put us under.
180
00:07:28,407 --> 00:07:30,076
Look, I'm no fan
of Stanley Gordon,
181
00:07:30,159 --> 00:07:32,912
so if there's a way that I can
help that doesn't screw me,
182
00:07:32,995 --> 00:07:33,996
I will.
183
00:07:34,413 --> 00:07:36,290
But you did this,
184
00:07:36,374 --> 00:07:39,252
when you issued that statement
about Jessica.
185
00:07:39,335 --> 00:07:40,878
Now, if you'll excuse me,
186
00:07:40,962 --> 00:07:43,297
I'm not looking to be seen
talking to you.
187
00:07:48,094 --> 00:07:50,888
Hey, Mike.
What are you doing here?
188
00:07:50,972 --> 00:07:52,932
I just came to tell the king
of class action here
189
00:07:53,015 --> 00:07:54,225
that I'm in.
190
00:07:54,308 --> 00:07:56,060
You got me
for as long as you need me.
191
00:07:56,144 --> 00:07:57,562
Mike, that's great. Thank you.
192
00:07:57,645 --> 00:07:59,105
Wait a second,
you're telling me you brought
193
00:07:59,188 --> 00:08:00,815
this jerkoff onto our case?
Excuse me.
194
00:08:00,898 --> 00:08:02,692
Mr. Jerkoff, please.
Oh, yeah?
195
00:08:02,775 --> 00:08:05,027
How about Johnnie Dickface?
How about Jonathan Dickface?
196
00:08:05,111 --> 00:08:06,696
Okay, are you two finished?
Because we actually
197
00:08:06,779 --> 00:08:08,114
have a case to prepare for.
198
00:08:08,197 --> 00:08:09,323
And they just filed
a motion to dismiss
199
00:08:09,448 --> 00:08:11,242
based on insufficient
class certification.
200
00:08:11,325 --> 00:08:12,493
What?
201
00:08:12,577 --> 00:08:14,036
I filled out
that paperwork myself,
202
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,205
and you filed it yesterday.
No, you filed it.
203
00:08:16,289 --> 00:08:18,040
Because you said you were going
to take care of it yourself.
204
00:08:18,166 --> 00:08:20,126
And then you said you were
going down to the court.
205
00:08:20,293 --> 00:08:21,294
Shit.
206
00:08:22,503 --> 00:08:24,380
- I got caught up.
- Goddamn it, Nathan.
207
00:08:24,463 --> 00:08:25,965
This ruins three months'
worth of work.
208
00:08:26,048 --> 00:08:27,425
You think I don't know that?
I don't care whether
209
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:28,634
you know it or not,
it was your idea to...
210
00:08:28,718 --> 00:08:29,927
All right, all right,
that's enough.
211
00:08:30,011 --> 00:08:32,346
Guys, pointing fingers isn't
going to get us anywhere.
212
00:08:32,847 --> 00:08:33,848
Mike's right.
213
00:08:34,098 --> 00:08:35,516
The question is,
what are we going to do?
214
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:39,061
We're going to do what you do
when the law isn't on your side.
215
00:08:39,812 --> 00:08:41,397
We're going to tell the truth,
and hope to hell
216
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,732
the judge sees it our way.
217
00:08:45,026 --> 00:08:46,819
Your Honor,
the law is clear on this.
218
00:08:46,903 --> 00:08:48,821
They missed the deadline,
and you are obligated
219
00:08:48,905 --> 00:08:50,573
to dismiss this case.
He's right, Your Honor.
220
00:08:50,656 --> 00:08:53,242
I missed the deadline,
but there are 150 children
221
00:08:53,326 --> 00:08:54,702
with elevated levels
of lead in their blood
222
00:08:54,785 --> 00:08:56,829
that shouldn't have to suffer
because I made a mistake.
223
00:08:56,913 --> 00:08:58,039
Well, that is
a wonderful story,
224
00:08:58,122 --> 00:09:00,291
but the truth is, he doesn't
care about these children
225
00:09:00,374 --> 00:09:01,459
because this is a cash grab,
226
00:09:01,584 --> 00:09:03,586
plain and simple.
Cash grab?
227
00:09:04,086 --> 00:09:05,963
Our fees
are capped at $50,000.
228
00:09:06,047 --> 00:09:08,799
$50,000 keeps your clinic running
for a hell of a long time,
229
00:09:08,883 --> 00:09:11,636
and I still haven't heard one piece
of evidence that we even knew
230
00:09:11,719 --> 00:09:13,971
about these lead levels.
Your Honor, if I may,
231
00:09:14,055 --> 00:09:16,140
I have some evidence I'd like
to share with the court.
232
00:09:16,224 --> 00:09:18,184
And you are?
Mike Ross, Specter Litt,
233
00:09:18,267 --> 00:09:20,144
Your Honor, and I think
it might interest the court
234
00:09:20,228 --> 00:09:21,979
to know a little
of Mr. Collins' history
235
00:09:22,063 --> 00:09:24,190
with cases like this.
What are you talking about?
236
00:09:24,273 --> 00:09:25,900
Your last case
against a clinic.
237
00:09:26,359 --> 00:09:28,486
You created 16 situations
just like this,
238
00:09:28,569 --> 00:09:30,321
and then, on the 17th,
it got thrown out,
239
00:09:30,404 --> 00:09:32,281
because they finally
missed a deadline.
240
00:09:32,365 --> 00:09:34,325
That is a mischaracterization
of the facts, Your Honor.
241
00:09:34,408 --> 00:09:37,286
Whereas only 10%
of Nathan Krueger's cases
242
00:09:37,370 --> 00:09:40,122
even involve monetary damages,
because this man
243
00:09:40,206 --> 00:09:42,375
spends most of his time
trying to keep poor people
244
00:09:42,458 --> 00:09:44,752
in their homes and protecting
their civil rights.
245
00:09:44,835 --> 00:09:46,754
Well, then give him the
Congressional Medal of Honor
246
00:09:46,837 --> 00:09:49,548
and dismiss this case because
he still missed the deadline.
247
00:09:49,632 --> 00:09:52,176
And it's within my power
to extend it, Mr. Collins.
248
00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:55,429
So, if your company did nothing wrong,
you have nothing to worry about.
249
00:09:55,513 --> 00:09:57,390
Because this case
is moving to trial.
250
00:09:57,598 --> 00:09:59,475
Your Honor, this action
is nothing more
251
00:09:59,558 --> 00:10:01,477
than a backdoor attempt
to get our former partners
252
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:03,312
their buy-ins back.
Where's your proof?
253
00:10:03,396 --> 00:10:06,190
I'll tell you where.
You helped us rewrite our bylaws
254
00:10:06,274 --> 00:10:08,776
to stop this claim.
Now, you're using the statement
255
00:10:08,859 --> 00:10:11,320
you made us issue to revive
that very same claim.
256
00:10:11,404 --> 00:10:14,365
Every one of these former partners
suffered damage to their career
257
00:10:14,448 --> 00:10:16,284
due to their association with
a firm that hired a fraud,
258
00:10:16,409 --> 00:10:17,910
and you know it.
Wow, Stanley.
259
00:10:17,994 --> 00:10:20,037
Isn't it convenient that all
you have to back that up
260
00:10:20,121 --> 00:10:21,289
is the word
of the very same partners
261
00:10:21,372 --> 00:10:23,916
that'll say anything they have
to to get their money back?
262
00:10:24,041 --> 00:10:26,627
I'm glad you brought that up, Louis.
Because I happen to have the statement
263
00:10:26,711 --> 00:10:29,046
of a former partner who's not
a part of this lawsuit at all.
264
00:10:29,130 --> 00:10:30,506
What the hell
are you talking about?
265
00:10:30,589 --> 00:10:32,508
Your Honor,
this is a court transcript
266
00:10:32,591 --> 00:10:34,927
of a case tried by Dana Scott,
former partner of their firm.
267
00:10:35,011 --> 00:10:36,178
I'd like to draw
your attention to the section
268
00:10:36,304 --> 00:10:38,681
where Ms. Scott talks about
having her credibility questioned
269
00:10:38,764 --> 00:10:41,475
as a direct result
of working at Pearson Specter.
270
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,602
Your Honor, there must be
some other explanation for...
271
00:10:43,686 --> 00:10:44,979
Then get her ass in here
to give it.
272
00:10:45,062 --> 00:10:46,856
- Watch your mouth!
- That's enough.
273
00:10:47,064 --> 00:10:50,693
He's right. If you can't get Ms. Scott
to refute this testimony by tomorrow,
274
00:10:50,776 --> 00:10:52,403
then this trial
is moving forward.
275
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:06,250
Mr. Ross!
276
00:11:08,169 --> 00:11:09,253
If you've got anything
to say to us,
277
00:11:09,337 --> 00:11:10,588
you're going to have to say it
to Nathan, too.
278
00:11:10,671 --> 00:11:12,381
I get it, you're the guy
from the big firm
279
00:11:12,465 --> 00:11:14,258
who comes in to finish
what they couldn't.
280
00:11:14,342 --> 00:11:15,426
But as soon as you get bored
and walk away,
281
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:17,261
I'm going to litigate circles
around them.
282
00:11:17,345 --> 00:11:18,346
Go ahead and give it a shot.
283
00:11:18,429 --> 00:11:19,472
Here's the thing,
Mr. Collins.
284
00:11:19,555 --> 00:11:21,599
I don't get bored,
and I'm not going anywhere.
285
00:11:21,682 --> 00:11:23,851
You couldn't even make it
to court on time.
286
00:11:23,934 --> 00:11:25,436
You're serving your annual
pro bono sentence.
287
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:26,604
You can't wait for this
to be over.
288
00:11:26,687 --> 00:11:28,064
You don't know shit about me.
289
00:11:29,190 --> 00:11:30,524
These guys were there
when I needed them,
290
00:11:30,608 --> 00:11:32,777
which means I'm going
to stick with them forever.
291
00:11:32,943 --> 00:11:35,279
Then what do you say we
settle this thing right now?
292
00:11:35,363 --> 00:11:36,572
Not interested.
293
00:11:36,655 --> 00:11:38,366
Come on, there's got
to be a number.
294
00:11:38,449 --> 00:11:41,494
I'm sure there is, and when you find it,
you can bring it to us tomorrow.
295
00:11:41,577 --> 00:11:44,455
But in the meantime, we've got
a class action to prepare for.
296
00:11:44,538 --> 00:11:45,539
Fine.
297
00:11:46,207 --> 00:11:47,875
I'll meet you at your office
tomorrow at 10:00.
298
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,543
Make it 9:00,
and at the clinic.
299
00:11:50,378 --> 00:11:52,755
Oh, and Mr. Collins,
you better be on time,
300
00:11:52,838 --> 00:11:54,382
and it better be good.
301
00:11:57,176 --> 00:11:59,762
Mike, what are you doing
playing chicken with this guy?
302
00:12:00,054 --> 00:12:02,348
He's ready to settle.
You know what I'm doing.
303
00:12:02,848 --> 00:12:04,975
The less interested he thinks
we are in settling,
304
00:12:05,059 --> 00:12:06,477
the higher the number goes.
Then why didn't you at least
305
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:07,561
let him meet you
at your office?
306
00:12:07,645 --> 00:12:08,646
Use the big guns
to intimidate him.
307
00:12:08,729 --> 00:12:11,273
Because he knows we'll never
throw our resources at this.
308
00:12:11,357 --> 00:12:12,650
Well, in case you haven't
been paying attention,
309
00:12:12,733 --> 00:12:14,276
we don't have
the resources, either.
310
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,445
I know that, Oliver.
He doesn't.
311
00:12:18,114 --> 00:12:20,241
Now, come on,
here's what I need you to do.
312
00:12:22,576 --> 00:12:24,745
Hey, you have a minute?
313
00:12:25,413 --> 00:12:27,498
Not really,
because I know why you're here.
314
00:12:28,082 --> 00:12:29,125
No, you don't.
315
00:12:29,375 --> 00:12:30,418
You're here because
Louis sent you
316
00:12:30,501 --> 00:12:32,962
to get me to make Scottie
retract that statement.
317
00:12:33,337 --> 00:12:35,131
Okay, maybe you do know
why I'm here.
318
00:12:35,214 --> 00:12:36,590
But Louis
didn't send me, Harvey.
319
00:12:36,674 --> 00:12:38,509
I volunteered.
Donna.
320
00:12:38,592 --> 00:12:41,137
Nothing I say is going
to make her take it back.
321
00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:42,430
You don't know that.
322
00:12:42,513 --> 00:12:44,598
And if anybody
can make her do it, it's you.
323
00:12:44,682 --> 00:12:46,600
Why, because I have
history with her?
324
00:12:46,684 --> 00:12:48,352
Of course because
you have history with her.
325
00:12:48,436 --> 00:12:49,645
Well, maybe
I don't want it to be
326
00:12:49,728 --> 00:12:51,689
that every time I have
to go to Scottie,
327
00:12:51,772 --> 00:12:53,691
it's to use our history
to get her to do something
328
00:12:53,774 --> 00:12:55,234
that she's not going
to want to do.
329
00:12:55,317 --> 00:12:57,403
Harvey, Scottie's not
the only person who
330
00:12:57,486 --> 00:12:59,572
every time you go to her,
you need something.
331
00:12:59,780 --> 00:13:01,907
She's just the only one who
makes you feel bad about it.
332
00:13:01,991 --> 00:13:03,576
Why the hell do you think
I don't want to go over there?
333
00:13:03,659 --> 00:13:05,619
To tell you the truth,
I don't really care why.
334
00:13:05,703 --> 00:13:06,704
Because this isn't
just about you.
335
00:13:06,787 --> 00:13:08,581
This is about
keeping this place alive.
336
00:13:08,664 --> 00:13:11,125
You think I don't know that?
I think you do know that.
337
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:13,043
And I think you also know
if you don't do this,
338
00:13:13,127 --> 00:13:16,422
we're going to trial,
and we may not win.
339
00:13:16,964 --> 00:13:19,383
And by the way, if you didn't
have a history with Scottie,
340
00:13:19,467 --> 00:13:21,385
she never would have put us
in this position
341
00:13:21,469 --> 00:13:22,636
in the first place.
342
00:13:31,479 --> 00:13:34,482
Can't say I know many lawyers
who bike to work.
343
00:13:36,066 --> 00:13:37,151
Old habit.
344
00:13:37,943 --> 00:13:40,279
Helps me clear my head
before I start a new trial.
345
00:13:40,488 --> 00:13:42,490
Whatever it does,
I'd say it's working.
346
00:13:43,282 --> 00:13:44,909
You were in the courtroom.
347
00:13:45,201 --> 00:13:47,828
Six rows back, three seats in.
I was.
348
00:13:48,162 --> 00:13:49,163
Andy Forsyth.
349
00:13:49,246 --> 00:13:51,081
Mike Ross.
I know.
350
00:13:51,165 --> 00:13:54,001
In fact, you're the reason
I took a red-eye from Seattle.
351
00:13:54,418 --> 00:13:56,837
Why'd you do that?
Because I'm about to take on
352
00:13:56,921 --> 00:13:59,089
the largest health insurer
on the west coast,
353
00:13:59,173 --> 00:14:00,758
and I'm building a firm
of my own.
354
00:14:00,841 --> 00:14:03,052
And from that Times article,
you sound like the kind of guy
355
00:14:03,135 --> 00:14:04,261
I want as a partner.
356
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,098
Well, if you really read that article,
you'd know I already have a job.
357
00:14:08,182 --> 00:14:10,392
Not really looking to leave.
Not yet.
358
00:14:11,018 --> 00:14:13,270
But it's inevitable.
How is it inevitable?
359
00:14:13,604 --> 00:14:15,439
Because eventually, you're
going to be in a position
360
00:14:15,523 --> 00:14:18,192
where it's your job
to defend the indefensible.
361
00:14:18,275 --> 00:14:21,487
Look, I'm flattered,
but I'm in the middle of a case right now,
362
00:14:21,570 --> 00:14:24,782
and the clinic that I'm partnered up
with does not have the resources.
363
00:14:24,865 --> 00:14:26,825
I'm sorry, but I'm not just
going to abandon them.
364
00:14:26,909 --> 00:14:27,910
You won't have to.
365
00:14:27,993 --> 00:14:29,411
You just put the fear of God
in the other side.
366
00:14:29,495 --> 00:14:30,829
They're going to want to
settle this thing by tomorrow.
367
00:14:30,913 --> 00:14:32,706
And if they don't?
Let me lay this out for you.
368
00:14:32,873 --> 00:14:34,833
I'm looking to start a firm
that takes on the big guys
369
00:14:34,917 --> 00:14:37,127
without relying
on funding from anyone.
370
00:14:37,211 --> 00:14:39,296
This is the case that's going
to make that happen.
371
00:14:39,380 --> 00:14:41,966
And when it's over, I want
someone to run the place.
372
00:14:42,049 --> 00:14:45,594
And that person is you.
And before you say anything,
373
00:14:45,678 --> 00:14:48,305
Rachel Zane can run it
right by your side.
374
00:14:51,225 --> 00:14:53,227
But I need a yes, soon.
375
00:14:53,811 --> 00:14:56,230
Or I need to move on.
376
00:14:57,314 --> 00:15:00,442
I'm staying at the Carlyle.
You have 48 hours.
377
00:15:05,364 --> 00:15:06,782
Hell of a view.
378
00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:10,744
Hard to believe working for me
almost kept you from getting it.
379
00:15:10,828 --> 00:15:12,246
Hello to you too, Harvey.
380
00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:14,415
If you're here in person,
Stanley Gordon
381
00:15:14,498 --> 00:15:16,417
must really have you
by the balls.
382
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:19,044
You know about the suit.
He called looking to get me
383
00:15:19,128 --> 00:15:21,005
to throw you under the bus
three weeks ago.
384
00:15:21,088 --> 00:15:23,007
I told him I didn't have
anything to say.
385
00:15:23,090 --> 00:15:25,926
That's funny, because he's using
you to make his case anyway.
386
00:15:26,510 --> 00:15:27,761
What are you talking about?
387
00:15:27,845 --> 00:15:31,682
I'm talking about a closing statement
you made in court six months ago.
388
00:15:38,564 --> 00:15:39,565
Well, shit.
389
00:15:39,857 --> 00:15:41,317
Scottie, why would
you say that?
390
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,527
The other side was attacking
my credibility,
391
00:15:43,611 --> 00:15:44,862
I had to appeal to the jury.
392
00:15:44,945 --> 00:15:46,363
And I'm not going
to apologize for it.
393
00:15:46,447 --> 00:15:48,574
Apologize for it?
It's not even true.
394
00:15:48,657 --> 00:15:49,658
Yes, it is.
395
00:15:49,742 --> 00:15:51,118
How the hell
were you damaged?
396
00:15:51,201 --> 00:15:53,245
You're a name partner here.
That doesn't mean
397
00:15:53,329 --> 00:15:55,289
that I haven't suffered
from my association with you.
398
00:15:55,372 --> 00:15:57,207
Oh, bullshit. I know you.
399
00:15:57,291 --> 00:15:59,209
I know you'll say anything
you have to to win,
400
00:15:59,293 --> 00:16:01,629
and that's what you did.
So what if I did?
401
00:16:02,254 --> 00:16:03,547
You know what.
402
00:16:05,299 --> 00:16:06,467
No, I don't.
403
00:16:07,301 --> 00:16:09,845
Because if you are asking me
to get up on a stand
404
00:16:09,928 --> 00:16:11,513
and tell a jury that
when I try a case,
405
00:16:11,597 --> 00:16:14,099
I am full of shit,
then you must be out of your mind.
406
00:16:14,183 --> 00:16:15,392
Scottie, I am in trouble here.
407
00:16:15,476 --> 00:16:18,854
I need you to help me.
It is my firm now.
408
00:16:18,937 --> 00:16:20,814
If it goes down
after I took it over...
409
00:16:20,898 --> 00:16:22,733
I understand that, Harvey.
410
00:16:22,816 --> 00:16:24,985
But I didn't get you
into this mess, you did.
411
00:16:25,069 --> 00:16:26,654
And I'm not going to put
my career on the line
412
00:16:26,737 --> 00:16:28,781
to get you out of it.
Scottie...
413
00:16:28,864 --> 00:16:30,324
I'm sorry, Harvey.
414
00:16:30,699 --> 00:16:33,285
But I've said yes to you
too many times.
415
00:16:35,537 --> 00:16:37,456
You know what?
I'm sorry I asked.
416
00:16:41,835 --> 00:16:43,003
Hey.
417
00:16:43,128 --> 00:16:44,171
Hey.
418
00:16:44,963 --> 00:16:46,799
Want to go out
and grab a bite to eat?
419
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:48,759
No, I can't. I got to prepare
420
00:16:48,842 --> 00:16:50,761
for this settlement meeting
in the morning.
421
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:52,805
For the class action?
Mike, that's great.
422
00:16:52,888 --> 00:16:54,932
Nothing about this case
is great.
423
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,563
Look at these kids, Rachel.
424
00:17:02,523 --> 00:17:04,817
It's just one after another.
425
00:17:07,361 --> 00:17:09,571
Oh. She's just a baby.
426
00:17:10,364 --> 00:17:11,907
She's three.
427
00:17:12,991 --> 00:17:15,911
They already know she's got
cognitive damage from the lead.
428
00:17:17,162 --> 00:17:19,540
This is heartbreaking.
It's so unfair.
429
00:17:20,374 --> 00:17:22,626
The worst part is,
even if we win,
430
00:17:23,377 --> 00:17:25,087
money's not going
to cure her.
431
00:17:26,046 --> 00:17:27,506
Or any of these other kids.
432
00:17:27,756 --> 00:17:30,718
Well, you're helping them
the best way that you can.
433
00:17:31,885 --> 00:17:33,262
Am I?
434
00:17:34,805 --> 00:17:36,223
Hey.
435
00:17:37,891 --> 00:17:39,393
What's going on?
436
00:17:40,352 --> 00:17:42,187
I got a job offer today.
437
00:17:43,147 --> 00:17:44,481
Okay.
438
00:17:45,023 --> 00:17:47,317
What does that have to do
with any of this?
439
00:17:48,569 --> 00:17:50,571
The guy who offered it to me
is opening up a practice
440
00:17:50,654 --> 00:17:52,698
dedicated to doing
this kind of work.
441
00:17:53,699 --> 00:17:56,744
It's like a clinic,
but with big firm money.
442
00:17:56,827 --> 00:17:57,828
Hmm.
443
00:17:58,954 --> 00:18:00,998
And he wants us to run it.
444
00:18:03,709 --> 00:18:06,712
Us? He asked for us
to do it?
445
00:18:07,588 --> 00:18:08,589
Yeah.
446
00:18:11,425 --> 00:18:13,761
Well, what if I told you
I'd consider it?
447
00:18:15,429 --> 00:18:16,513
That's...
448
00:18:16,597 --> 00:18:19,141
No, that's not the point.
It's in Seattle.
449
00:18:19,224 --> 00:18:20,601
He wants an answer
in two days.
450
00:18:20,684 --> 00:18:21,727
We can't do it.
451
00:18:22,770 --> 00:18:24,646
It just got to me,
that's all.
452
00:18:27,775 --> 00:18:30,360
Then go in there tomorrow
453
00:18:31,028 --> 00:18:32,988
and use whatever
this did to you
454
00:18:33,614 --> 00:18:36,658
to get those families the most
that you possibly can.
455
00:18:36,909 --> 00:18:39,495
Because, Mike, we're going
to have children someday.
456
00:18:39,828 --> 00:18:43,165
And I don't want them to live in a
world where things like this happen.
457
00:18:50,964 --> 00:18:52,382
Make yourself at home.
458
00:18:53,759 --> 00:18:54,760
What'd she say?
459
00:18:54,843 --> 00:18:57,137
She said she's not going
to testify for us.
460
00:18:57,805 --> 00:19:00,599
So you mean they get
to enter that statement
461
00:19:00,682 --> 00:19:01,767
she made in court,
and there's nothing
462
00:19:01,850 --> 00:19:04,394
we can do to counter it?
Yeah.
463
00:19:04,478 --> 00:19:07,481
That's what I mean.
Well then, we're fucked.
464
00:19:08,482 --> 00:19:10,567
Because that right there
is proof that
465
00:19:10,692 --> 00:19:13,153
they were damaged by our firm.
Louis...
466
00:19:13,237 --> 00:19:14,905
She was a partner
just as much as they were,
467
00:19:14,988 --> 00:19:18,033
and there's nothing that we can
say that's going to change that.
468
00:19:20,828 --> 00:19:23,664
No, she wasn't.
What are you talking about?
469
00:19:23,747 --> 00:19:27,751
Louis, Scottie wasn't a
partner as much as they were.
470
00:19:27,835 --> 00:19:29,378
She's not part of the class,
471
00:19:29,461 --> 00:19:31,588
and she left way before
any of them.
472
00:19:31,672 --> 00:19:34,383
And even if we stipulate
that she was hurt by us,
473
00:19:34,508 --> 00:19:36,760
that doesn't prove they were.
I get it.
474
00:19:36,844 --> 00:19:39,596
We need to show if these guys
aren't succeeding,
475
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,431
it's not our fault.
It's theirs.
476
00:19:41,515 --> 00:19:42,724
Exactly.
477
00:19:42,808 --> 00:19:45,477
And I know just the man
to help us do it.
478
00:19:55,237 --> 00:19:57,656
I hope you don't mind.
Sylvia told me I could come in.
479
00:19:58,574 --> 00:20:00,200
I assume
you're here to ask me
480
00:20:00,284 --> 00:20:02,536
about your old partners
suing you.
481
00:20:02,619 --> 00:20:03,912
You know the whole story?
482
00:20:03,996 --> 00:20:06,248
I know they're looking
for their share of the pie,
483
00:20:06,331 --> 00:20:07,958
and I know you're not here
to get me to try to stop them,
484
00:20:08,041 --> 00:20:09,626
because I can't.
I know that, Robert.
485
00:20:09,710 --> 00:20:11,128
But...
I don't think you do.
486
00:20:11,420 --> 00:20:13,463
I don't think you understand
what's happened
487
00:20:13,547 --> 00:20:15,799
to my reputation here.
What are you talking about?
488
00:20:15,883 --> 00:20:18,719
I bailed you out
with Bratton Gould,
489
00:20:18,802 --> 00:20:20,596
and then again
on that prison case.
490
00:20:20,679 --> 00:20:23,807
I help you out with this, well,
I might as well just move in.
491
00:20:23,891 --> 00:20:26,518
Because no one here
will ever trust me again.
492
00:20:26,602 --> 00:20:29,688
All I need is access
to their performance reviews.
493
00:20:29,771 --> 00:20:32,941
Are you out of your mind?
Those are confidential.
494
00:20:33,025 --> 00:20:35,986
And we both know I can have
them subpoenaed if I have to.
495
00:20:36,069 --> 00:20:37,404
Well then, do that.
I can't afford
496
00:20:37,571 --> 00:20:40,574
to look complicit with you,
no matter how much you play that tiny violin.
497
00:20:40,908 --> 00:20:42,826
This isn't
a tiny violin, Robert.
498
00:20:43,452 --> 00:20:46,038
This lawsuit could burn
my firm to the ground.
499
00:20:50,375 --> 00:20:51,376
All right.
500
00:20:53,754 --> 00:20:55,255
There is one way.
501
00:20:55,505 --> 00:20:57,007
But it needs
to happen tonight,
502
00:20:57,090 --> 00:20:59,217
while I'm having dinner
with Rand and Kaldor.
503
00:20:59,718 --> 00:21:00,761
What is it?
504
00:21:05,724 --> 00:21:08,602
Mr. Collins.
We appreciate the punctuality.
505
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:10,020
What are all these people
doing here?
506
00:21:10,103 --> 00:21:12,022
This is supposed to be
a settlement meeting.
507
00:21:12,105 --> 00:21:13,899
Well, we thought before
we heard your offer,
508
00:21:13,982 --> 00:21:15,609
we'd show you
what you're up against.
509
00:21:16,401 --> 00:21:17,986
And you don't think
Discharge Power
510
00:21:18,111 --> 00:21:20,906
can afford an army of its own?
No, I'm sure they can.
511
00:21:20,989 --> 00:21:22,699
But unlike yours,
every one of my people
512
00:21:22,783 --> 00:21:24,785
is prepared to shed blood
for this case.
513
00:21:26,411 --> 00:21:29,915
Then maybe this will keep them
from shedding anything at all.
514
00:21:38,173 --> 00:21:39,549
What the hell are you doing?
515
00:21:39,633 --> 00:21:42,052
This is less
than $60,000 per family.
516
00:21:42,135 --> 00:21:44,721
Which is a hell of a lot of money for
lead poisoning we knew nothing about.
517
00:21:44,805 --> 00:21:46,807
Bullshit, your people knew
what was going on here.
518
00:21:46,890 --> 00:21:48,350
And you have no proof of that.
519
00:21:48,475 --> 00:21:50,560
This is a list of children
pulled from the school
520
00:21:50,644 --> 00:21:52,980
within the first six months
of the plant opening.
521
00:21:54,022 --> 00:21:56,149
You want to take a guess
what they have in common?
522
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,027
Their parents are all
executives at Discharge Power.
523
00:21:59,277 --> 00:22:01,238
So don't try to tell us
that no one knew.
524
00:22:01,697 --> 00:22:02,906
Where did you get that?
525
00:22:03,699 --> 00:22:06,326
Is that how you're going
to counter in front of a jury?
526
00:22:08,662 --> 00:22:10,580
$100,000 a family,
that's the best you're going to do.
527
00:22:10,664 --> 00:22:11,707
No, it isn't.
Mike...
528
00:22:11,790 --> 00:22:13,500
No, these are children.
529
00:22:13,583 --> 00:22:15,836
We have the resources,
and this isn't going to go down like this,
530
00:22:15,919 --> 00:22:18,213
so why don't you go back to
your masters and tell them
531
00:22:18,296 --> 00:22:20,507
that unless they want
to be exposed to the world,
532
00:22:20,590 --> 00:22:22,634
they're going to need
to add some more zeroes.
533
00:22:23,010 --> 00:22:25,679
We're never going to do that.
You can, and you will.
534
00:22:27,139 --> 00:22:28,473
Now get out of my face.
535
00:22:34,521 --> 00:22:36,148
My office, now.
536
00:22:45,073 --> 00:22:47,743
Goddamn it.
What the hell did you do?
537
00:22:48,035 --> 00:22:49,536
What do you mean,
what did I do?
538
00:22:49,619 --> 00:22:50,954
It was a good cop, bad cop.
That was the plan.
539
00:22:51,038 --> 00:22:53,123
No, the plan was to close
in the room.
540
00:22:53,206 --> 00:22:54,541
Not blow the whole thing up
for some number
541
00:22:54,666 --> 00:22:56,626
they're never going to go for.
Nathan, they'll come back.
542
00:22:56,710 --> 00:22:57,711
What the hell
is wrong with you?
543
00:22:57,794 --> 00:22:58,920
What's wrong with me?
544
00:22:59,004 --> 00:23:00,714
Those kids are going
to be fucked up
545
00:23:00,797 --> 00:23:02,591
for the rest of their lives,
and you seem to care more
546
00:23:02,674 --> 00:23:04,676
about closing in the room than
getting them the best deal.
547
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,678
Did you not hear me
when I first came to you?
548
00:23:06,762 --> 00:23:08,805
I needed money,
because if this goes to trial,
549
00:23:08,889 --> 00:23:10,724
we are out of business.
Nathan, it's not going
550
00:23:10,807 --> 00:23:12,184
to go to trial.
551
00:23:12,684 --> 00:23:14,269
And the only thing
that's going to stop this guy
552
00:23:14,352 --> 00:23:16,688
from tripling that offer
is if you don't have the balls
553
00:23:16,772 --> 00:23:18,190
to wait it out.
554
00:23:20,067 --> 00:23:23,779
Nathan, look, I know you got into this
because you care about these people,
555
00:23:23,862 --> 00:23:25,530
and you're a good man
for doing it.
556
00:23:25,614 --> 00:23:28,575
But you need to trust me.
I know what I'm doing.
557
00:23:29,409 --> 00:23:32,245
All I'm asking is that
you just wait one day.
558
00:23:34,790 --> 00:23:36,041
Okay, Mike.
559
00:23:37,501 --> 00:23:38,585
One day.
560
00:23:43,673 --> 00:23:45,008
Harvey, if this is about
the Bartlett case,
561
00:23:45,092 --> 00:23:47,260
I have already made plans
to work late.
562
00:23:47,385 --> 00:23:48,845
I'm here to tell you
to leave early
563
00:23:48,929 --> 00:23:51,807
to get to your parent's house
for your mom's chicken piccata.
564
00:23:52,432 --> 00:23:54,351
It's Wednesday.
My mom makes lasagna.
565
00:23:54,434 --> 00:23:56,645
I don't care if she's making
cow-shit soufflé.
566
00:23:56,728 --> 00:23:58,438
I need you to get
to that dinner,
567
00:23:58,522 --> 00:24:00,357
and look through
your father's files.
568
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,651
With all due respect,
I'm not in the habit
569
00:24:02,734 --> 00:24:04,736
of going through my father's
things without him knowing.
570
00:24:04,861 --> 00:24:07,280
Then you don't have to worry,
because he does know.
571
00:24:08,073 --> 00:24:09,324
Harvey, what's going on?
572
00:24:10,117 --> 00:24:12,869
Stanley Gordon's suing us
on behalf of our ex-partners,
573
00:24:12,953 --> 00:24:14,830
claiming that their time
at Pearson Specter
574
00:24:14,913 --> 00:24:16,373
hurt their careers.
I get it.
575
00:24:16,456 --> 00:24:18,041
And some of those partners
work for my dad,
576
00:24:18,125 --> 00:24:20,001
and he wants to help us prove
that it's not true,
577
00:24:20,085 --> 00:24:22,295
but he doesn't want
to be seen doing it.
578
00:24:22,504 --> 00:24:25,465
Which is why he's going to leave
their performance reviews out.
579
00:24:25,549 --> 00:24:27,592
And you're going to tell me
exactly what they say.
580
00:24:27,676 --> 00:24:28,885
Well then,
I'd better get going.
581
00:24:28,969 --> 00:24:30,971
Because you might not care,
but my mom's lasagna?
582
00:24:31,054 --> 00:24:32,681
It's the best
you've ever had.
583
00:24:37,477 --> 00:24:39,187
Hey, what's going on?
Oliver told me to come in,
584
00:24:39,271 --> 00:24:40,772
but he didn't
give me a reason.
585
00:24:43,316 --> 00:24:45,443
Where is everyone?
I sent them home.
586
00:24:45,819 --> 00:24:47,028
What? Why?
587
00:24:47,821 --> 00:24:48,905
We lost our funding.
588
00:24:49,447 --> 00:24:50,657
What the hell
are you talking about?
589
00:24:50,991 --> 00:24:53,243
Discharge Power called our
five biggest angel investors,
590
00:24:53,326 --> 00:24:55,537
and got them
to pull their funding.
591
00:24:55,662 --> 00:24:57,164
So we're shut down.
They can't do that.
592
00:24:57,414 --> 00:24:58,498
They just did it.
593
00:25:01,209 --> 00:25:02,794
Oh, my God.
I don't believe this.
594
00:25:02,878 --> 00:25:06,131
Well, you should believe it,
because it's game over.
595
00:25:06,673 --> 00:25:08,258
The clinic, the case,
everything.
596
00:25:08,341 --> 00:25:10,051
Nathan, you can't just
roll over.
597
00:25:10,135 --> 00:25:11,636
As long as your lights are on,
I'm sure you've got people
598
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,721
who are willing
to work on this...
599
00:25:12,804 --> 00:25:14,306
Our charter
doesn't allow it, okay?
600
00:25:14,431 --> 00:25:16,474
And you can't work here,
either, so just go.
601
00:25:16,558 --> 00:25:18,935
Go back to PSL, or SL,
or whatever the hell
602
00:25:19,019 --> 00:25:20,312
you call the place that
teaches you to turn down
603
00:25:20,395 --> 00:25:23,148
multi-million dollar offers.
You think this is my fault?
604
00:25:23,315 --> 00:25:26,318
It's not, Nathan, it's theirs,
and that monster of a lawyer
605
00:25:26,443 --> 00:25:28,695
that they've got...
I don't care whose fault it is.
606
00:25:28,778 --> 00:25:31,114
If that offer is still on the table,
I am taking it.
607
00:25:31,198 --> 00:25:32,866
Because it's the only way
that we're going to be able
608
00:25:32,949 --> 00:25:34,618
to get our funding back.
Nathan, you go back
609
00:25:34,701 --> 00:25:36,161
to Collins now,
you're going to be lucky to get
610
00:25:36,244 --> 00:25:37,579
10 cents on the dollar.
611
00:25:37,662 --> 00:25:38,955
Then I'll get 10 cents
on the dollar.
612
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:40,248
Would you wait a minute
and listen to me?
613
00:25:40,332 --> 00:25:42,792
Because I am trying to help...
I am done listening to you!
614
00:25:43,418 --> 00:25:44,544
Go!
615
00:25:45,337 --> 00:25:47,047
And stay the hell
out of this case.
616
00:26:04,022 --> 00:26:05,815
Mike, hey, this is great.
I didn't think I'd see you...
617
00:26:05,899 --> 00:26:07,234
What the fuck did you do?
618
00:26:08,151 --> 00:26:09,152
What the hell
are you talking about?
619
00:26:09,236 --> 00:26:10,570
I didn't do anything.
Bullshit.
620
00:26:10,654 --> 00:26:11,863
You cut
the clinic's funding off
621
00:26:11,947 --> 00:26:13,823
because I told you they
didn't have the resources.
622
00:26:13,907 --> 00:26:15,242
I have no idea
what you're talking about.
623
00:26:15,325 --> 00:26:17,160
You're going to deny
that up until nine months ago,
624
00:26:17,244 --> 00:26:19,162
you worked for the firm that
represented the parent company
625
00:26:19,246 --> 00:26:20,914
of that battery plant?
I worked there,
626
00:26:20,997 --> 00:26:22,540
and I hated it.
It's why I left.
627
00:26:22,624 --> 00:26:24,167
And if that were the truth,
you would have said something
628
00:26:24,251 --> 00:26:26,378
the first time we met,
but you didn't.
629
00:26:26,461 --> 00:26:28,380
No, you told me they were
going to offer me a job.
630
00:26:28,463 --> 00:26:29,965
You gave me
a reason to take it,
631
00:26:30,048 --> 00:26:31,174
and then when I didn't
jump on it,
632
00:26:31,258 --> 00:26:33,051
you put people that I
care about out of work.
633
00:26:33,134 --> 00:26:35,011
I didn't do shit
to that clinic.
634
00:26:35,095 --> 00:26:36,554
You're being paranoid.
I'm being paranoid, really?
635
00:26:36,638 --> 00:26:38,598
And what's more likely?
That I'm being paranoid,
636
00:26:38,682 --> 00:26:40,100
or that you appeared
out of nowhere
637
00:26:40,183 --> 00:26:42,310
to offer me
some magical opportunity
638
00:26:42,394 --> 00:26:44,688
the day before
we lose our funding?
639
00:26:45,146 --> 00:26:46,356
You are making a big mistake.
640
00:26:46,439 --> 00:26:48,441
I need you to stay
the hell away from me,
641
00:26:48,525 --> 00:26:50,277
the clinic,
and this case.
642
00:27:07,085 --> 00:27:09,045
Harvey, what are you
doing here?
643
00:27:09,129 --> 00:27:10,588
I'm here to give you
your performance review.
644
00:27:10,672 --> 00:27:13,049
I don't work for you.
No, but you're going to
645
00:27:13,133 --> 00:27:15,093
answer to me when I put you
on the stand.
646
00:27:17,012 --> 00:27:18,138
Read it.
647
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:24,394
When I read it, I don't
see a man that was held back
648
00:27:24,477 --> 00:27:26,855
because his old firm
had a bad reputation.
649
00:27:27,147 --> 00:27:29,691
I see a man
that reached his limitation.
650
00:27:29,774 --> 00:27:31,401
Everyone knew it,
except for him,
651
00:27:31,484 --> 00:27:33,194
and now, he's looking
for someone to blame.
652
00:27:33,445 --> 00:27:35,572
I didn't bring this suit.
I don't care,
653
00:27:35,655 --> 00:27:36,740
because as far
as they're concerned,
654
00:27:36,823 --> 00:27:38,074
you're the leader
of the band.
655
00:27:38,158 --> 00:27:39,951
Which means
you're the first one up.
656
00:27:40,035 --> 00:27:41,411
You must want something.
657
00:27:41,703 --> 00:27:43,246
Because you didn't
come all the way down here
658
00:27:43,330 --> 00:27:44,998
just to tell me
you're going to humiliate me.
659
00:27:45,081 --> 00:27:46,833
I'm here
to give you a chance.
660
00:27:47,208 --> 00:27:50,003
Get Gordon and the rest
of them to back off,
661
00:27:50,086 --> 00:27:51,963
and this never sees
the light of day.
662
00:27:52,047 --> 00:27:54,299
If not, you're going
on the stand tomorrow,
663
00:27:54,382 --> 00:27:55,550
because I'm telling you,
664
00:27:55,633 --> 00:27:58,970
there's no way I am letting
them use you or Scottie
665
00:27:59,054 --> 00:28:01,389
or anybody else
to take my firm from me.
666
00:28:08,021 --> 00:28:09,898
Please tell me you didn't
go back to see Collins.
667
00:28:10,148 --> 00:28:11,149
You know, I tried.
668
00:28:11,232 --> 00:28:13,193
He wouldn't give me
the time of day.
669
00:28:13,818 --> 00:28:14,861
Good.
670
00:28:15,362 --> 00:28:17,322
Good?
671
00:28:17,822 --> 00:28:19,657
My only chance
to keep this place alive
672
00:28:19,741 --> 00:28:22,786
is to dump this thing,
beg our donors to come back,
673
00:28:22,869 --> 00:28:24,245
and accept that these kids
get nothing.
674
00:28:24,329 --> 00:28:27,207
No, it isn't.
What are you talking about?
675
00:28:29,084 --> 00:28:30,960
I got a job offer yesterday.
676
00:28:31,669 --> 00:28:33,463
This guy said
he's starting a firm
677
00:28:33,546 --> 00:28:36,049
dedicated to doing
the kinds of cases we do now.
678
00:28:36,758 --> 00:28:38,802
Well, if you came to me
for advice, I'd say take it.
679
00:28:38,885 --> 00:28:40,053
It's not about...
680
00:28:41,763 --> 00:28:44,349
Nathan, he's the one that
got the donors to pull out.
681
00:28:44,891 --> 00:28:47,435
What?
He used to work for Porter Lofton,
682
00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:49,145
and this whole thing
was a ploy.
683
00:28:49,229 --> 00:28:50,939
So you're here to tell me
you got played?
684
00:28:51,022 --> 00:28:53,400
No, I'm here to tell you that even
though that job was bullshit,
685
00:28:53,483 --> 00:28:55,235
the idea is a good one.
686
00:28:56,027 --> 00:28:57,195
You want to start
a firm like that?
687
00:28:57,278 --> 00:28:59,197
I want you to start
a firm like that.
688
00:28:59,531 --> 00:29:02,158
Instead of begging donors
to keep you alive,
689
00:29:02,242 --> 00:29:03,993
just let your non-profit
status go.
690
00:29:04,077 --> 00:29:05,995
Why would I do that?
Because then, you'd have
691
00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:07,330
no cap on your fees.
692
00:29:07,664 --> 00:29:09,249
You could make enough
from this one case
693
00:29:09,332 --> 00:29:10,458
to get these families
what they deserve,
694
00:29:10,542 --> 00:29:12,502
and keep yourself
running for years.
695
00:29:12,585 --> 00:29:15,380
Mike, this clinic
has meant everything to me.
696
00:29:15,463 --> 00:29:18,258
I spent 11 years running it.
I'm not about to let it die
697
00:29:18,383 --> 00:29:21,344
based on a gamble.
It's not a gamble if you win.
698
00:29:22,262 --> 00:29:24,722
I will help you.
Oliver will help you.
699
00:29:24,806 --> 00:29:27,142
And then, when it's over,
nobody will ever be able
700
00:29:27,225 --> 00:29:28,435
to force you
to abandon a client
701
00:29:28,518 --> 00:29:30,437
by cutting off your wallet
ever again.
702
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,772
Even if I could say yes,
you're forgetting the reason
703
00:29:32,856 --> 00:29:34,441
I came to you
in the first place.
704
00:29:35,650 --> 00:29:36,734
You need money.
705
00:29:36,818 --> 00:29:39,946
We don't have anywhere near
enough to even see this to trial.
706
00:29:40,113 --> 00:29:41,406
How much do you need?
707
00:29:41,823 --> 00:29:43,408
To float the whole firm?
Yes.
708
00:29:43,783 --> 00:29:45,076
Half a million dollars.
709
00:29:47,162 --> 00:29:48,288
I'll get you the money.
710
00:29:52,333 --> 00:29:55,253
Scottie, if you're here because
you've been subpoenaed,
711
00:29:55,336 --> 00:29:56,463
I've got something
in the works.
712
00:29:56,546 --> 00:29:57,630
I haven't been
subpoenaed, Harvey.
713
00:29:57,797 --> 00:29:59,090
That's not why I'm here.
714
00:29:59,716 --> 00:30:00,800
Then why are you here?
715
00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:03,219
To say that I'm sorry.
716
00:30:05,221 --> 00:30:08,266
I don't want to see you
lose your firm, Harvey.
717
00:30:08,349 --> 00:30:09,851
I care about you.
718
00:30:10,310 --> 00:30:13,813
I always have, I always will.
And I just wanted to say that.
719
00:30:15,815 --> 00:30:17,025
And?
720
00:30:17,859 --> 00:30:19,152
And what?
721
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,155
You didn't come all the way
down here just to tell me that.
722
00:30:24,324 --> 00:30:26,159
You don't make it easy,
do you?
723
00:30:28,786 --> 00:30:31,122
The last time
that we saw each other,
724
00:30:31,206 --> 00:30:34,584
you told me that you were
seeing someone about yourself.
725
00:30:35,376 --> 00:30:37,504
And you asked
if when you were done,
726
00:30:38,671 --> 00:30:39,839
could you call me.
727
00:30:41,007 --> 00:30:44,177
I remember.
Well, are you done?
728
00:30:45,136 --> 00:30:48,223
Did you fix yourself?
729
00:30:48,681 --> 00:30:51,684
Let's just say
I'm a work in progress.
730
00:30:52,685 --> 00:30:54,020
What does that mean?
731
00:30:56,272 --> 00:30:59,526
You want the truth?
Yes.
732
00:31:00,610 --> 00:31:03,530
A year after I stopped
with my therapist,
733
00:31:04,447 --> 00:31:06,199
I started seeing her.
734
00:31:06,950 --> 00:31:09,369
A year?
A year and three weeks.
735
00:31:13,122 --> 00:31:15,124
Three weeks longer
than the waiting period.
736
00:31:15,291 --> 00:31:17,085
I am a lawyer, after all.
737
00:31:17,835 --> 00:31:20,004
I'm guessing
it didn't work out.
738
00:31:21,214 --> 00:31:23,716
It didn't.
It was complicated.
739
00:31:24,509 --> 00:31:27,095
Did Donna have anything to do
with that complication?
740
00:31:27,387 --> 00:31:28,888
Why do you ask?
741
00:31:29,806 --> 00:31:31,432
That's all I needed to know.
742
00:31:34,352 --> 00:31:35,603
Sorry to interrupt,
but, Harvey,
743
00:31:35,687 --> 00:31:36,980
Stanley Gordon's
in the conference room.
744
00:31:37,063 --> 00:31:38,356
He wants to see us both.
745
00:31:38,565 --> 00:31:40,817
Hi, Scottie.
Louis.
746
00:31:44,696 --> 00:31:46,239
Good luck, Harvey.
747
00:31:52,745 --> 00:31:54,622
You know, I never liked
this conference room.
748
00:31:54,747 --> 00:31:56,916
Too much glass.
What do you want, Stanley?
749
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,876
We've got a trial
to prepare for.
750
00:31:59,335 --> 00:32:01,296
Nice job getting Soloff
to drop out.
751
00:32:01,379 --> 00:32:03,089
We did it with him,
we can do it with all of them.
752
00:32:03,172 --> 00:32:04,507
Maybe you can,
maybe you can't.
753
00:32:04,591 --> 00:32:06,217
One thing's for sure.
You don't have to.
754
00:32:06,301 --> 00:32:08,303
Why not?
Give them their jobs back.
755
00:32:08,386 --> 00:32:09,679
That's all they wanted
in the first place.
756
00:32:09,762 --> 00:32:11,347
What?
Give these guys
757
00:32:11,431 --> 00:32:13,516
their jobs back,
this whole thing goes away.
758
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,476
Bullshit.
It's not bullshit.
759
00:32:15,602 --> 00:32:17,645
It's what they want.
- And what about what you want?
760
00:32:18,062 --> 00:32:20,231
This whole thing was a setup
for you to get
761
00:32:20,315 --> 00:32:22,275
back behind the wheel
of Jessica's car.
762
00:32:22,358 --> 00:32:24,152
It's not Jessica's
goddamn car,
763
00:32:24,235 --> 00:32:25,403
it's mine.
764
00:32:25,528 --> 00:32:26,904
But that's not
what this is about.
765
00:32:27,322 --> 00:32:28,656
I don't believe you.
I don't care whether
766
00:32:28,740 --> 00:32:30,283
you believe me or not,
because that's the deal
767
00:32:30,366 --> 00:32:31,451
that's on the table.
768
00:32:31,618 --> 00:32:33,453
So you can take
your chances in court,
769
00:32:33,536 --> 00:32:34,746
or you can put this
in the rear view mirror
770
00:32:34,829 --> 00:32:36,706
right the hell now.
Never going to happen.
771
00:32:36,789 --> 00:32:38,541
If it'll sweeten the deal any,
I'll put it in writing.
772
00:32:38,625 --> 00:32:40,543
Anyone tries to make me
a partner in the new firm,
773
00:32:40,627 --> 00:32:42,837
the deal's off,
and we walk away with nothing.
774
00:32:43,588 --> 00:32:46,132
Didn't expect that, did you?
I'm not like Jessica.
775
00:32:46,215 --> 00:32:48,468
I actually care about
the people I left behind.
776
00:32:49,135 --> 00:32:50,845
So take the deal, or don't.
777
00:32:52,930 --> 00:32:56,100
But with or without Jack Soloff,
we're going to trial.
778
00:33:12,325 --> 00:33:13,326
You look tired.
779
00:33:15,495 --> 00:33:18,456
Look, Donna, I don't want to ask
what I'm about to ask, but...
780
00:33:19,832 --> 00:33:21,626
I've got nowhere else to go.
781
00:33:23,378 --> 00:33:24,796
That doesn't sound good.
782
00:33:25,838 --> 00:33:29,008
I need you to back my request for
the firm to loan the clinic money
783
00:33:29,092 --> 00:33:30,760
against its fee on my case.
784
00:33:31,010 --> 00:33:32,345
How much?
785
00:33:33,137 --> 00:33:35,181
$500,000.
What?
786
00:33:35,598 --> 00:33:37,684
Mike, that is never
going to fly with Harvey.
787
00:33:37,767 --> 00:33:40,186
I know that, which is why
I need you to make it fly.
788
00:33:40,269 --> 00:33:42,563
And I already helped you
by saying okay to this case
789
00:33:42,647 --> 00:33:44,982
when Harvey wasn't here.
I'm not going to double down on that
790
00:33:45,066 --> 00:33:47,777
by saying we should give the clinic
money at the worst possible time.
791
00:33:47,860 --> 00:33:49,445
Well, when exactly
is a good time?
792
00:33:49,529 --> 00:33:51,948
Never, because we're
a corporate law firm.
793
00:33:52,031 --> 00:33:53,950
We give them money, we might
as well tell our clients
794
00:33:54,033 --> 00:33:55,159
that they're
our second priority.
795
00:33:55,243 --> 00:33:57,286
I'm not talking
about an investment, Donna.
796
00:33:57,370 --> 00:33:59,205
I'm talking about a loan.
And if you can't see
797
00:33:59,288 --> 00:34:02,166
that to the rest of the world,
there's no difference, then...
798
00:34:03,042 --> 00:34:05,712
Then what?
Then nothing.
799
00:34:06,754 --> 00:34:09,173
Does this have something
to do with me not being ready?
800
00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:12,635
What?
Harvey said I wasn't ready
801
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,304
to be senior partner, but he
doesn't come to a conclusion
802
00:34:15,388 --> 00:34:17,390
like that without running it
by you first.
803
00:34:18,725 --> 00:34:19,976
Okay.
804
00:34:23,146 --> 00:34:24,772
Then yes, Mike.
805
00:34:25,106 --> 00:34:27,483
You not being able
to accept something like this
806
00:34:27,567 --> 00:34:30,445
is exactly what I meant
about you not being ready.
807
00:34:30,528 --> 00:34:31,988
I understand.
808
00:34:32,488 --> 00:34:35,783
And I know if Gordon wins,
then we might not even survive.
809
00:34:35,867 --> 00:34:39,454
But, Donna, what is the point
of trying to survive
810
00:34:39,537 --> 00:34:41,831
if we can't do
something like this?
811
00:34:44,625 --> 00:34:46,502
I'm telling you, I've gone
through his financials,
812
00:34:46,586 --> 00:34:48,504
the partners' financials,
the by-laws.
813
00:34:48,588 --> 00:34:50,131
I haven't found
a goddamn thing.
814
00:34:50,214 --> 00:34:51,549
Then we keep looking
until we do.
815
00:34:51,632 --> 00:34:52,925
Harvey, has it
occurred to you it's possible
816
00:34:53,009 --> 00:34:54,677
that this isn't the worst
outcome in the world?
817
00:34:54,761 --> 00:34:57,346
Yeah, and I could also
get shot in the face.
818
00:34:57,430 --> 00:34:58,765
But that's not what we're
talking about right now.
819
00:34:58,848 --> 00:35:00,767
I'm saying, let Gordon think
he pressured us
820
00:35:00,850 --> 00:35:02,769
into taking those partners back,
because the truth is,
821
00:35:02,852 --> 00:35:04,645
we're a more powerful firm
if they're here.
822
00:35:04,729 --> 00:35:08,024
And you and I both know if
Stanley Gordon wants them back,
823
00:35:08,441 --> 00:35:09,817
he wants it for a reason,
824
00:35:09,901 --> 00:35:11,819
and it sure as hell
isn't to help us out.
825
00:35:11,903 --> 00:35:13,529
I have some information,
but I don't know if it has
826
00:35:13,613 --> 00:35:14,864
anything to do
with this or not.
827
00:35:15,114 --> 00:35:16,115
What is it?
828
00:35:16,699 --> 00:35:18,701
Last week, when we almost
lost our lease,
829
00:35:18,785 --> 00:35:21,078
I did some checking
in case we had to move, and...
830
00:35:21,162 --> 00:35:22,914
Hold on, I'm sorry.
We almost lost our lease?
831
00:35:22,997 --> 00:35:24,707
That's not the point, Louis.
I took care of it.
832
00:35:24,791 --> 00:35:26,542
The point is
there were three floors
833
00:35:26,626 --> 00:35:28,669
in Robert Zane's building
listed as vacant,
834
00:35:28,753 --> 00:35:29,837
but when I looked
into renting them,
835
00:35:29,921 --> 00:35:32,548
they were no longer available,
because as it turns out,
836
00:35:32,882 --> 00:35:34,884
Rand Kaldor Zane is expanding.
837
00:35:35,384 --> 00:35:36,969
- That can't be.
- Harvey's right.
838
00:35:37,053 --> 00:35:38,304
For those partners
to come back here,
839
00:35:38,387 --> 00:35:40,556
Zane would need
to waive their non-competes.
840
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,100
Why would he do that at the
same time he's expanding?
841
00:35:43,184 --> 00:35:46,687
I don't know, but three floors is
exactly how much space we use.
842
00:35:47,980 --> 00:35:49,023
Holy shit.
843
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,817
Gordon really doesn't
want to take over.
844
00:35:50,900 --> 00:35:53,569
He just wants to orchestrate a
deal where his guys come back,
845
00:35:53,653 --> 00:35:56,572
they vote to merge with Zane,
and we cease to exist.
846
00:35:56,656 --> 00:35:59,408
That's not possible.
Our by-laws prevent that.
847
00:35:59,492 --> 00:36:01,244
No, Harvey, they don't.
848
00:36:01,327 --> 00:36:03,162
And I've been focusing
on the wrong thing.
849
00:36:03,579 --> 00:36:06,332
He doesn't need to be managing partner
for them to outvote us on this.
850
00:36:07,291 --> 00:36:09,293
Harvey, if that's true,
851
00:36:09,377 --> 00:36:10,878
Zane would have
to be in on it.
852
00:36:12,588 --> 00:36:14,215
Then I'm going to go
and find out.
853
00:36:16,801 --> 00:36:19,178
Good work, Donna.
Thanks, Louis.
854
00:36:21,013 --> 00:36:23,724
Listen, while we're here,
855
00:36:23,808 --> 00:36:25,351
I have something
I need to talk to you about.
856
00:36:33,609 --> 00:36:36,445
You must have known
I'd find out sooner or later.
857
00:36:36,529 --> 00:36:37,780
What the hell
are you talking about?
858
00:36:37,864 --> 00:36:39,615
I'm talking about your plan
to swallow us up,
859
00:36:39,699 --> 00:36:41,450
and you not being man enough
to do it in the open.
860
00:36:41,534 --> 00:36:42,869
You better start
making sense,
861
00:36:42,952 --> 00:36:44,620
or I'm going to drive you
to Bellevue myself.
862
00:36:44,704 --> 00:36:46,372
You're telling me you had
nothing to do with this?
863
00:36:46,455 --> 00:36:47,748
I don't goddamn know
what this is.
864
00:36:47,832 --> 00:36:49,750
Okay, I'll lay it out
for you.
865
00:36:50,668 --> 00:36:52,837
The second we released
that statement about Jessica,
866
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,631
Stanley Gordon contacted you
with a side deal.
867
00:36:56,382 --> 00:36:59,135
He whipped up a lawsuit to get
his clients back into our house
868
00:36:59,218 --> 00:37:01,971
so they can vote in favor
of selling out to you.
869
00:37:02,054 --> 00:37:03,472
If I wanted
to swallow you up,
870
00:37:03,556 --> 00:37:06,058
I wouldn't just be man enough
to tell you to your face.
871
00:37:06,142 --> 00:37:07,935
I would be jumping out
of this chair to do it.
872
00:37:08,019 --> 00:37:09,395
Then why did you lock down
a five-year lease
873
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,689
on the three floors
below you?
874
00:37:13,983 --> 00:37:15,693
That's your signature,
isn't it?
875
00:37:19,322 --> 00:37:20,823
Goddamn it.
876
00:37:21,490 --> 00:37:23,409
Did you know about this
and keep it from me?
877
00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:26,662
No, they kept it from me.
878
00:37:27,914 --> 00:37:29,165
Who's they?
879
00:37:29,290 --> 00:37:31,751
Eric Kaldor and Ellen Rand.
880
00:37:32,376 --> 00:37:34,337
I just found out
that my two partners,
881
00:37:34,420 --> 00:37:35,922
who I've worked with
for 26 years,
882
00:37:36,047 --> 00:37:38,341
are willing to stab me
in the back.
883
00:37:39,425 --> 00:37:42,470
Look, I am sorry I had to be the
one to break it to you, Robert.
884
00:37:44,305 --> 00:37:46,182
But you better
get your house in order.
885
00:37:46,849 --> 00:37:49,018
Because now,
I have to protect mine.
886
00:37:58,611 --> 00:37:59,862
Bullshit.
887
00:38:00,655 --> 00:38:03,115
What?
Bullshit.
888
00:38:04,283 --> 00:38:06,494
I want to talk
about the job offer,
889
00:38:06,577 --> 00:38:08,371
and what it means
if we take it.
890
00:38:11,207 --> 00:38:13,042
Well, I don't know
what to say, Rachel,
891
00:38:13,125 --> 00:38:15,461
because it turns out
that offer was bullshit.
892
00:38:16,128 --> 00:38:18,130
What?
What are you talking about?
893
00:38:18,756 --> 00:38:20,132
There was no job.
894
00:38:21,634 --> 00:38:23,386
He was just trying to get me
to drop the case.
895
00:38:23,469 --> 00:38:26,722
Oh, Mike, I'm so sorry.
It's even worse.
896
00:38:26,806 --> 00:38:29,225
I told him that the clinic
had limited resources,
897
00:38:29,308 --> 00:38:31,435
and he used that information
to strong-arm the donors,
898
00:38:31,519 --> 00:38:33,187
and get them
to pull the plug.
899
00:38:33,771 --> 00:38:35,314
Well, he didn't contact me.
900
00:38:35,982 --> 00:38:37,441
Louis, now is not
a good time.
901
00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:39,568
Well, that's where
you're wrong, my friend.
902
00:38:39,652 --> 00:38:41,278
Because it's always
a good time
903
00:38:41,362 --> 00:38:43,489
to get a half
a million dollar donation.
904
00:38:48,536 --> 00:38:49,787
I thought the firm
couldn't do this.
905
00:38:49,870 --> 00:38:51,163
Well, the firm can't.
906
00:38:51,831 --> 00:38:54,750
It's an anonymous gift,
from me to the Eastside Legal Clinic.
907
00:38:55,001 --> 00:38:57,670
I don't ever need it back,
and no one ever needs to know.
908
00:39:00,464 --> 00:39:02,174
Was this your idea,
or Donna's?
909
00:39:02,425 --> 00:39:03,634
Team effort.
910
00:39:04,677 --> 00:39:06,595
I don't know what to say.
Say thank you.
911
00:39:06,679 --> 00:39:09,181
Thank you.
No, Mike, thank you.
912
00:39:09,265 --> 00:39:11,934
Because you've been doing the right
thing ever since you got here.
913
00:39:12,018 --> 00:39:14,687
The world could use
a lot more people like you.
914
00:39:15,146 --> 00:39:16,647
I couldn't agree more.
915
00:39:24,780 --> 00:39:26,407
What?
916
00:39:30,745 --> 00:39:33,539
Can't say that the place looks
nicer since I've been gone.
917
00:39:34,165 --> 00:39:36,625
You don't like it?
It's fine.
918
00:39:36,876 --> 00:39:38,586
If you don't care
about color or texture.
919
00:39:38,878 --> 00:39:39,879
Fair enough.
920
00:39:40,004 --> 00:39:41,505
Now tell me
why you're really here,
921
00:39:41,589 --> 00:39:42,965
because it sure as hell
isn't to tell me
922
00:39:43,049 --> 00:39:45,801
what a shitty job I did
decorating your office.
923
00:39:45,885 --> 00:39:48,888
Harvey,
I know what's going on with Stanley Gordon.
924
00:39:49,263 --> 00:39:50,556
But I need a favor.
925
00:39:50,848 --> 00:39:53,392
What kind of favor?
You remember that thing
926
00:39:53,476 --> 00:39:55,269
I said wouldn't follow me
to Chicago?
927
00:39:55,728 --> 00:39:58,105
Well, it did.
Aw, shit.
928
00:39:58,689 --> 00:39:59,732
They're coming
after your license?
929
00:39:59,815 --> 00:40:01,025
They already took it.
930
00:40:01,734 --> 00:40:03,903
I'm here because I need you
to fly out there tomorrow
931
00:40:03,986 --> 00:40:05,988
and file a TRO or 500 people
932
00:40:06,072 --> 00:40:07,865
aren't going to have
a place to live.
933
00:40:07,948 --> 00:40:10,785
You want me to file a TRO
for a housing project?
934
00:40:10,868 --> 00:40:13,621
I am in the middle of a fight
for this firm's life.
935
00:40:13,704 --> 00:40:14,789
I don't care what you're
in the middle of.
936
00:40:14,872 --> 00:40:17,500
You owe me, because along
with about 100 other things,
937
00:40:17,583 --> 00:40:19,835
you threw me under the bus.
And as I recall,
938
00:40:19,919 --> 00:40:21,587
you said
you were okay with it.
939
00:40:21,670 --> 00:40:23,964
And now,
I need a goddamn favor.
940
00:40:24,757 --> 00:40:26,801
Okay, you want my help?
941
00:40:27,259 --> 00:40:28,636
You tell me what's going on.
942
00:40:29,136 --> 00:40:31,597
Okay, Harvey. Here it is.
943
00:40:32,223 --> 00:40:35,017
I went out there
to make a difference
944
00:40:35,101 --> 00:40:37,645
and all I was doing
was scratching the surface,
945
00:40:37,728 --> 00:40:39,355
one pro bono at a time.
946
00:40:39,647 --> 00:40:42,358
So I decided
to go toe-to-toe
947
00:40:42,441 --> 00:40:45,945
with the mayor's office
on a police brutality case.
948
00:40:46,779 --> 00:40:48,614
I got
a $4 million settlement.
949
00:40:49,532 --> 00:40:51,700
And two weeks after
you put out that statement,
950
00:40:51,784 --> 00:40:53,869
they came after my license.
951
00:40:53,953 --> 00:40:55,538
So you're saying
this is payback?
952
00:40:55,621 --> 00:40:57,873
I'm saying they're trying
to run me out of town.
953
00:40:57,957 --> 00:40:59,959
What exactly do you want me
to do about it?
954
00:41:00,042 --> 00:41:02,711
I want you to stand
next to me on the last case
955
00:41:02,795 --> 00:41:05,798
I'll ever have,
because I'm not going out like this.
956
00:41:05,881 --> 00:41:07,925
Jessica, if all you need
is a lawyer,
957
00:41:08,008 --> 00:41:09,969
you can have your pick
of the top guys out there.
958
00:41:10,052 --> 00:41:12,304
Harvey,
you're not hearing me.
959
00:41:13,222 --> 00:41:16,058
I am going to war with the
people that took my license.
960
00:41:16,142 --> 00:41:18,477
I don't need the top guy.
961
00:41:19,645 --> 00:41:22,231
I need the best partner
I've ever had.
962
00:41:22,648 --> 00:41:24,525
And I need him
to have my back.
963
00:41:38,831 --> 00:41:40,875
Is this an intervention?
Because if it is,
964
00:41:40,958 --> 00:41:43,043
you might want to put
those drinks away.
965
00:41:44,086 --> 00:41:45,421
Jessica told us
what's going on, Harvey,
966
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,464
Whatever it is
she needs you for,
967
00:41:47,548 --> 00:41:49,425
we came here to tell you that we'll
take care of things back here.
968
00:41:49,508 --> 00:41:50,801
You sure about that?
969
00:41:50,885 --> 00:41:53,762
Because I'm not.
The one thing I'm sure of
970
00:41:53,846 --> 00:41:55,514
is that none of us
would be here without Jessica.
971
00:41:55,598 --> 00:41:57,641
And we're willing to do
whatever it takes to help her.
972
00:41:58,350 --> 00:42:00,561
Whatever it takes?
Yes.
973
00:42:02,188 --> 00:42:04,315
Then I want your word
right now.
974
00:42:04,398 --> 00:42:06,483
If you have to choose between
the clinic and the firm,
975
00:42:06,567 --> 00:42:08,152
you drop the clinic.
976
00:42:08,235 --> 00:42:09,778
You don't think,
how can I get out of this,
977
00:42:09,862 --> 00:42:12,114
how can I pawn this off,
or anything else.
978
00:42:12,198 --> 00:42:14,116
You drop it inside
of two seconds,
979
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,202
and you help Louis
with whatever he needs.
980
00:42:16,994 --> 00:42:19,413
- Done.
- They're right, Harvey.
981
00:42:19,830 --> 00:42:21,874
Jessica sacrificed
everything for us.
982
00:42:22,583 --> 00:42:24,043
We'll have your back.
983
00:42:24,919 --> 00:42:26,420
Just get on the plane.
984
00:42:32,468 --> 00:42:34,053
Well, then...
985
00:42:34,553 --> 00:42:36,472
Hope to God
you guys are right.
