00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:02,162
(HARVEY READING)
2
00:00:02,252 --> 00:00:03,834
Which one of my clients
are you after?
3
00:00:03,921 --> 00:00:05,523
Because we both know
you can't have Pfizer.
4
00:00:05,547 --> 00:00:07,584
- Yes, I can.
- Then make me name partner.
5
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:10,028
You don't just slap somebody's name
on the wall to get a client.
6
00:00:10,052 --> 00:00:13,090
I'm not just slapping his name up, Louis.
I'm making a move.
7
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:15,592
I'm not saying Donna doesn't
deserve a promotion,
8
00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:17,719
I'm just saying making partner
means something.
9
00:00:17,809 --> 00:00:21,928
And I'm concerned that being one
here won't mean what it used to.
10
00:00:22,397 --> 00:00:23,666
This is an amazing
amount of work.
11
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:24,876
I stayed up
all night doing it.
12
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:26,544
But I thought you take the
night shift with your son.
13
00:00:26,568 --> 00:00:28,129
I told my wife she'd have
to take it last night.
14
00:00:28,153 --> 00:00:29,769
I thought you might need a
little relief.
15
00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:31,695
You sure?
Support his head.
16
00:00:32,032 --> 00:00:33,148
There we go.
17
00:00:33,242 --> 00:00:35,199
Holy shit. Gordon really
doesn't wanna take over.
18
00:00:35,285 --> 00:00:37,777
He just wants to orchestrate
a deal where his guys come back,
19
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:40,659
they vote to merge with Zane,
and we cease to exist.
20
00:00:40,749 --> 00:00:44,333
I just found out that my two partners are
willing to stab me in the back.
21
00:00:44,461 --> 00:00:46,293
God damn it, Louis.
I'm trying the best I can.
22
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:47,712
Well, then,
try something else,
23
00:00:47,798 --> 00:00:50,962
because giving you the reins
a half hour before we drive off a cliff
24
00:00:51,134 --> 00:00:52,500
isn't gonna do shit.
25
00:00:52,761 --> 00:00:55,219
I just came to make sure
that the paperwork was in order
26
00:00:55,305 --> 00:00:57,797
for your clients to come over
and join our new firm.
27
00:00:57,891 --> 00:00:59,928
I went and saw
Andy Forsyth today.
28
00:01:00,018 --> 00:01:02,305
You went to see him
about us moving to Seattle?
29
00:01:02,396 --> 00:01:05,514
If we're ever gonna do something like this
in our lives, now is the time.
30
00:01:05,607 --> 00:01:08,099
- And what about the wedding?
- We could move it up.
31
00:01:08,193 --> 00:01:11,812
MIKE:If I've learned one thing, it's that
there is nothing that I can't handle
32
00:01:11,905 --> 00:01:13,237
when I have you by my side.
33
00:01:13,323 --> 00:01:15,083
RACHEL:You're the husband
I've always wanted.
34
00:01:15,158 --> 00:01:17,775
And I can't wait to begin our
adventure together.
35
00:01:18,787 --> 00:01:21,905
Rachel and I were offered
a chance to run a firm in Seattle.
36
00:01:21,999 --> 00:01:23,035
- Mike...
- Harvey,
37
00:01:23,125 --> 00:01:24,866
this is who I am.
It's who I've always been.
38
00:01:25,168 --> 00:01:26,454
It's time, Harvey.
39
00:01:32,593 --> 00:01:33,709
I'll tell you what, Robert.
40
00:01:34,428 --> 00:01:37,171
Your baby girl just got married,
I'm gonna throw you a bone.
41
00:01:37,639 --> 00:01:38,675
Your name goes first.
42
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:40,260
No. No.
43
00:01:40,434 --> 00:01:42,394
(LAUGHS) You think I don't know
what you're doing.
44
00:01:42,686 --> 00:01:44,803
Then I owe you.
Yours goes first.
45
00:01:44,896 --> 00:01:45,932
You saying I owe you?
46
00:01:46,023 --> 00:01:47,980
You do owe me.
I saved your ass.
47
00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:51,025
Well, you only did that
because we put you in a terrible position.
48
00:01:51,236 --> 00:01:53,569
Wait. That's against me.
49
00:01:53,697 --> 00:01:56,110
Jesus Christ,
what have I got myself into?
50
00:01:56,199 --> 00:01:57,610
I'll tell you what.
51
00:01:57,701 --> 00:01:59,658
You got yourself into
Zane Specter Litt.
52
00:01:59,745 --> 00:02:02,283
Or Specter Zane Litt.
53
00:02:02,497 --> 00:02:03,738
Either way...
54
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,440
- Litt comes last.
- Litt comes last.
55
00:02:07,169 --> 00:02:08,205
(GLASSES CLINKING)
56
00:02:08,295 --> 00:02:09,831
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
57
00:02:13,050 --> 00:02:14,086
Hey.
58
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,921
Wanna go out
and get a burger?
59
00:02:16,178 --> 00:02:18,135
I do. But it's 2:00 a.m.
60
00:02:18,430 --> 00:02:21,430
If I go out for a burger right now,
the only thing I'm getting is a divorce.
61
00:02:21,725 --> 00:02:23,717
Copy that. I'll get you
one from the kitchen.
62
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:25,096
Yeah, meet me downstairs.
63
00:02:25,187 --> 00:02:26,678
Hide it in the gift bag
or some shit.
64
00:03:03,058 --> 00:03:04,890
- You're here early.
- I am.
65
00:03:05,352 --> 00:03:07,633
I know this is about the time you
finish your morning run.
66
00:03:07,688 --> 00:03:10,048
Look, Harvey. If this is
about me getting into it with Louis
67
00:03:10,107 --> 00:03:11,143
while you were gone...
68
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:12,835
It isn't. I didn't even know
that happened.
69
00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:14,691
Well, you might as well
hear about it now.
70
00:03:14,778 --> 00:03:16,644
I came to him with an idea
to save the firm
71
00:03:16,738 --> 00:03:20,231
that involved making me temporary
managing partner, and he bit my head off.
72
00:03:20,325 --> 00:03:22,136
Let me guess, he thought
you were coming after me.
73
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,513
Harvey, I would never do
that to you.
74
00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:25,995
I know that, but that's
not what I'm here to talk about.
75
00:03:26,081 --> 00:03:30,576
I'm here to tell you that as of this morning
we're merging with Robert Zane.
76
00:03:30,711 --> 00:03:31,872
- What?
- Alex...
77
00:03:31,962 --> 00:03:32,998
I don't believe it.
78
00:03:33,088 --> 00:03:36,047
When I came over you said my name
would be the one to go up next.
79
00:03:36,133 --> 00:03:39,217
I know that, but this was
the only way to save the firm.
80
00:03:39,302 --> 00:03:41,009
And you know
as well as I do,
81
00:03:41,096 --> 00:03:44,806
Zane has been a name partner
longer than me and Louis combined.
82
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:46,757
All right, I get it.
83
00:03:46,852 --> 00:03:48,184
But we had an agreement.
84
00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:50,853
And I want your word right now
you're gonna honor it.
85
00:03:50,939 --> 00:03:54,649
You have my word.
Your name goes up next.
86
00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:57,526
All right.
87
00:03:57,612 --> 00:03:59,274
One more thing.
88
00:03:59,364 --> 00:04:01,822
Did Louis know about the merger
before this morning?
89
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:03,069
Yeah, why?
90
00:04:03,326 --> 00:04:06,615
Because if he didn't tell me about it,
he must really not trust me.
91
00:04:06,705 --> 00:04:08,391
Which means when it is time
to put my name up there...
92
00:04:08,415 --> 00:04:10,577
- Louis'll be fine, Alex.
- And what if he's not?
93
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:12,659
Like I said, you have my word.
94
00:04:19,676 --> 00:04:20,987
Of course, I would
do that for you.
95
00:04:21,011 --> 00:04:23,970
I would do anything for you
because I love you.
96
00:04:24,055 --> 00:04:27,969
I promise. I will never bring it up again.
We never have to get a Maine coon.
97
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:31,302
- Sheila?
- Yes.
98
00:04:31,396 --> 00:04:33,558
Anyway, I brought you in
because I want...
99
00:04:33,648 --> 00:04:35,480
Katrina, what's
on your mind?
100
00:04:35,567 --> 00:04:38,935
Nothing. It's just,
giving up cats?
101
00:04:39,029 --> 00:04:41,362
Louis, after all she put
you through, are you sure?
102
00:04:41,448 --> 00:04:44,441
I am. And besides, she's still
open to getting a shorthair.
103
00:04:44,743 --> 00:04:47,406
- Well, then I'm happy for you.
- And I'm happy for you, too,
104
00:04:47,496 --> 00:04:48,931
because today is the day
that you get to make
105
00:04:48,955 --> 00:04:50,537
your two greatest loves
more efficient.
106
00:04:50,624 --> 00:04:52,490
Don't tell me. We're merging
with Zane,
107
00:04:52,584 --> 00:04:55,345
we have more associates than we can
handle and you need the one person
108
00:04:55,378 --> 00:04:57,791
who worked at both firms
to cull that herd.
109
00:04:57,881 --> 00:04:59,372
Exactly. And now
I need you to come up
110
00:04:59,466 --> 00:05:01,319
with a list of the ten
least-efficient associates
111
00:05:01,343 --> 00:05:04,802
without telling me names or whether
or not they come from Zane or us.
112
00:05:04,888 --> 00:05:08,256
- Got it.
- And, Katrina?
113
00:05:08,350 --> 00:05:10,683
Thanks for your concern
about Sheila and me.
114
00:05:10,769 --> 00:05:14,729
Louis, you know I care for you deeply
in a completely asexual manner.
115
00:05:14,815 --> 00:05:18,525
And I too care for you deeply
and see you neither as man nor woman.
116
00:05:18,610 --> 00:05:20,522
Thank you, Louis.
117
00:05:20,612 --> 00:05:22,274
Kinder words were
never spoken.
118
00:05:22,697 --> 00:05:25,189
I'll have my list for you
by the end of the day.
119
00:05:33,041 --> 00:05:34,873
I'm gonna miss her, too.
120
00:05:35,669 --> 00:05:37,581
I'm not sure
which is worse.
121
00:05:37,671 --> 00:05:41,756
Finding out Mike was a fraud
or that he's taking my daughter away.
122
00:05:42,425 --> 00:05:44,792
Pretty sure it was
the fraud thing.
123
00:05:44,886 --> 00:05:46,422
You probably got a point.
124
00:05:46,513 --> 00:05:49,881
Speaking of frauds
and your daughter.
125
00:05:56,898 --> 00:05:58,014
She left that for me?
126
00:05:58,108 --> 00:06:01,476
A little welcome to the firm
from your little girl.
127
00:06:02,612 --> 00:06:05,007
By the way, Harvey wants to meet
at 9:30 in the conference room.
128
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:09,116
So in the meantime, why don't you
set yourself up in Mike's old office.
129
00:06:09,244 --> 00:06:11,577
- Thank you, Donna.
- It's nice to have you here, Robert.
130
00:06:11,663 --> 00:06:14,371
Oh, we'll see how nice
it is once I tell Harvey
131
00:06:14,457 --> 00:06:16,915
it's not his old office
that I'm looking to be in.
132
00:06:17,002 --> 00:06:19,540
Claiming managing partner
already.
133
00:06:19,629 --> 00:06:21,245
Isn't that a bold statement
for day one?
134
00:06:21,339 --> 00:06:22,546
Let me tell
you something, Red.
135
00:06:22,632 --> 00:06:25,215
I've been making bold
statements my entire career.
136
00:06:25,302 --> 00:06:27,419
I'm sure as hell not about
to stop now.
137
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:37,470
(SINGING) See the money,
wanna stay for your meal
138
00:06:37,564 --> 00:06:40,682
Get another piece of pie
for your wife
139
00:06:40,775 --> 00:06:43,984
Everybody wanna know
how it feel
140
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:47,529
Everybody wanna see
what it's like
141
00:06:47,616 --> 00:06:50,529
I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind
142
00:06:50,619 --> 00:06:52,531
Me and missy is so early
143
00:06:52,621 --> 00:06:54,453
Busy, busy making money
144
00:06:54,539 --> 00:06:55,905
All right!
145
00:06:55,999 --> 00:06:59,333
All step back
I'm 'bout to dance
146
00:07:01,546 --> 00:07:03,538
The greenback boogie
147
00:07:08,094 --> 00:07:10,677
All right, I think we all know
who's gonna be managing partner
148
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:12,283
isn't something we're gonna
decide overnight.
149
00:07:12,307 --> 00:07:14,890
Therefore, for the sake
of firm harmony,
150
00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:17,138
I suggest we start
with conflicts of interest.
151
00:07:17,228 --> 00:07:19,094
- Fine with me.
- Me too.
152
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:21,146
Great. As you can see,
153
00:07:21,232 --> 00:07:25,727
I've taken the liberty of
suggesting who drops which client.
154
00:07:25,820 --> 00:07:28,733
And I am confident you will
agree with all of my proposals
155
00:07:28,823 --> 00:07:31,281
- with the exception...
- I'm not dropping Dexterol.
156
00:07:31,368 --> 00:07:32,904
And I'm not dropping Clavatin.
157
00:07:32,994 --> 00:07:34,155
- Exactly.
- Exactly what?
158
00:07:34,245 --> 00:07:35,348
What do you mean,
"Exactly what?"
159
00:07:35,372 --> 00:07:37,079
I knew that neither of you
would be willing
160
00:07:37,165 --> 00:07:39,282
to give up those particular
clients. Exactly that.
161
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,873
- You mean you don't have a suggestion?
- I have a suggestion.
162
00:07:42,963 --> 00:07:46,206
You drop yours, then the next time
we have a major conflict I'll drop mine.
163
00:07:46,299 --> 00:07:48,194
You sure about that?
Because the next major conflict
164
00:07:48,218 --> 00:07:50,005
we're gonna have is
who's managing partner.
165
00:07:50,095 --> 00:07:51,677
Then what exactly
is your idea?
166
00:07:51,763 --> 00:07:54,255
I say whoever's client billed
the most hours last year stays.
167
00:07:54,349 --> 00:07:55,715
Well, that's pretty
damn convenient
168
00:07:55,809 --> 00:07:59,769
because your client went through
a merger so their billables are inflated.
169
00:07:59,854 --> 00:08:01,457
You're saying that the sun
got in your eyes
170
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:02,959
and that's why you dropped the
big pass?
171
00:08:02,983 --> 00:08:04,394
Wait a second, Harvey's right.
172
00:08:04,526 --> 00:08:06,128
- Come again?
- No, not about who to drop.
173
00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:07,768
Your client did just go
through a merger.
174
00:08:07,862 --> 00:08:09,524
They're in a whole new line
of business.
175
00:08:09,614 --> 00:08:12,982
Most of which doesn't conflict
with Clavatin anymore.
176
00:08:13,076 --> 00:08:14,116
Where you going with this?
177
00:08:14,202 --> 00:08:15,471
I'm saying if we can
get either client
178
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:17,782
to drop the one division
where they still overlap
179
00:08:17,872 --> 00:08:20,330
you can keep them both.
180
00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:24,126
Well, in that case
I'll get my client to drop.
181
00:08:24,212 --> 00:08:25,578
It's the least I can do.
182
00:08:25,672 --> 00:08:27,379
Oh, no. I'll do the honors.
183
00:08:27,465 --> 00:08:29,252
After all, you welcomed me
into your home.
184
00:08:29,342 --> 00:08:30,958
Why don't we make it
a friendly wager.
185
00:08:31,052 --> 00:08:32,588
We each get
our client to drop.
186
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,090
First one who gets there wins.
187
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:35,341
Sure thing.
188
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:49,318
DONNA: Don't do it.
189
00:08:49,696 --> 00:08:51,437
Don't do what?
190
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:53,818
Don't try to get Zane's
client to dump their division
191
00:08:53,908 --> 00:08:55,865
after telling him you'd get
your client to do it.
192
00:08:55,952 --> 00:08:57,471
How do you even know
that's what happened?
193
00:08:57,495 --> 00:09:00,238
- I know because Louis told me.
- What do you mean Louis told you?
194
00:09:00,331 --> 00:09:03,039
The meeting just ended two seconds ago
and I came right back here.
195
00:09:03,126 --> 00:09:06,790
In that case, I mean, I heard
Louis' voice on the recording device
196
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,600
that I had installed
in the conference room.
197
00:09:08,631 --> 00:09:09,917
You bugged the meeting?
198
00:09:10,008 --> 00:09:11,340
Bugged is such
a distasteful word.
199
00:09:11,426 --> 00:09:13,338
- That's not an answer.
- Okay.
200
00:09:13,428 --> 00:09:15,385
You want an answer?
201
00:09:15,472 --> 00:09:17,464
I have been listening
to your conversations
202
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,785
since you were an associate,
and I'm not about to stop now.
203
00:09:19,809 --> 00:09:21,245
Now, do you want to quibble
about my methods
204
00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:23,372
or do you want to get the part
where I save you from yourself?
205
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:24,807
- Donna.
- Harvey, you heard him.
206
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:26,639
Zane's got his eye
on managing partner.
207
00:09:26,733 --> 00:09:28,044
I know good and well
what he's after.
208
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:30,105
Then why would you give him
ammunition?
209
00:09:31,362 --> 00:09:33,319
Because you think
this is gonna be fun.
210
00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:34,984
But trust me, you go after him
211
00:09:35,075 --> 00:09:36,995
and it's gonna get
more serious than you thought.
212
00:09:37,035 --> 00:09:38,429
And in the end,
you're just gonna prove
213
00:09:38,453 --> 00:09:41,321
that he's better suited
to be in your office than you.
214
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:45,332
Okay, Donna.
215
00:09:46,169 --> 00:09:48,752
Okay, you're not gonna pick
a fight with Robert Zane?
216
00:09:48,838 --> 00:09:52,172
No. Okay, I'm gonna find
someone else to do it for me.
217
00:09:57,889 --> 00:09:59,255
Thanks.
218
00:09:59,349 --> 00:10:00,885
Twice in one day.
219
00:10:00,975 --> 00:10:02,432
To what do I owe
the pleasure now?
220
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:05,432
I'm here to tell you, you want your name
on the door you got to earn it.
221
00:10:05,522 --> 00:10:06,683
I thought I already had.
222
00:10:06,773 --> 00:10:09,668
Maybe you have, maybe you haven't,
but I got something for you to do anyway.
223
00:10:09,692 --> 00:10:10,853
And what exactly is that?
224
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:12,981
I need you to get
Robert Zane's biggest client
225
00:10:13,071 --> 00:10:14,687
to sell their
manufacturing division.
226
00:10:15,657 --> 00:10:19,150
Harvey, you point me up the hill,
I'm gonna kill whoever's at the top.
227
00:10:19,244 --> 00:10:20,576
- But?
- But in this case,
228
00:10:20,662 --> 00:10:22,028
the guy at the top is
on our side.
229
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:23,602
- Is he?
- What are you talking about?
230
00:10:23,790 --> 00:10:26,874
I'm telling you this is gonna
determine who runs the firm.
231
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,371
Zane knows it and I know it.
232
00:10:28,461 --> 00:10:32,831
So if you want me to be able to live up
to that promise, I need you to do this.
233
00:10:32,924 --> 00:10:34,290
And I don't like
being threatened
234
00:10:34,384 --> 00:10:35,945
for you to uphold
a promise you already made.
235
00:10:35,969 --> 00:10:39,462
I don't either, but like it
or not, this benefits both of us.
236
00:10:39,764 --> 00:10:41,450
And I guarantee you right now,
Zane's going to
237
00:10:41,474 --> 00:10:43,511
his right-hand man
to ask the same thing.
238
00:10:43,601 --> 00:10:44,933
And who is his right hand?
239
00:10:45,019 --> 00:10:48,763
Your job isn't to ask who he is.
Your job is to kick his ass.
240
00:11:19,095 --> 00:11:22,463
You planning on making it
in to the new offices anytime soon?
241
00:11:22,557 --> 00:11:24,317
(PANTS)What for? Help you
pick out new lamps?
242
00:11:24,392 --> 00:11:25,724
What's that supposed to mean?
243
00:11:25,810 --> 00:11:27,130
It means I knew
you'd come in here
244
00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:29,123
and ask me to take care of
whatever needs taking care of
245
00:11:29,147 --> 00:11:30,683
whenever it needs
taking care of.
246
00:11:30,815 --> 00:11:32,977
So unless you want to step in
and take a beating,
247
00:11:33,067 --> 00:11:34,228
why don't you just get to it?
248
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:35,605
You think I couldn't
handle you?
249
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:38,028
I think if you took your tie
off, we could find out.
250
00:11:38,907 --> 00:11:40,648
Shit, I come up there
and get my ass kicked
251
00:11:40,742 --> 00:11:42,678
by a skinny white girl,
my life would never be the same.
252
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:45,069
So what do we got?
A number two, a number six?
253
00:11:45,163 --> 00:11:46,574
Number 14 with a side of 11.
254
00:11:46,664 --> 00:11:48,264
Well, leave the file
and the particulars,
255
00:11:48,374 --> 00:11:50,457
- I'll get to it when I'm done.
- Samantha.
256
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:52,500
I need you to come
through for me on this one.
257
00:11:52,587 --> 00:11:54,356
Come on, Robert, have I
ever let you down before?
258
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:57,214
You've never lost, but you have
let me down a time or two.
259
00:11:58,343 --> 00:12:01,177
Well, then, I give you my word
this will not be one of those times.
260
00:12:08,019 --> 00:12:10,636
Damn, she could kick my ass.
261
00:12:23,201 --> 00:12:24,845
Katrina, what are you doing here?
I gave you an assignment...
262
00:12:24,869 --> 00:12:26,430
- I finished it.
- What do you mean you finished it?
263
00:12:26,454 --> 00:12:29,183
I asked you to evaluate 50 associates.
How could you have done that already?
264
00:12:29,207 --> 00:12:30,698
I didn't.
PATTIE did it for me.
265
00:12:30,792 --> 00:12:32,704
- Who the hell's Pattie?
- Not who, what.
266
00:12:32,794 --> 00:12:36,083
Personal Assessment Tallying
and Totalling Individual Efficiency.
267
00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:37,288
Say what now?
268
00:12:37,382 --> 00:12:39,248
I plugged in 16 parameters
and quantifiables,
269
00:12:39,342 --> 00:12:41,959
PATTIE popped out a list ranking
the associates from one to 50.
270
00:12:42,053 --> 00:12:43,089
Katrina, this is amazing.
271
00:12:43,179 --> 00:12:44,657
Not only that,
it's completely objective.
272
00:12:44,681 --> 00:12:46,718
The bottom ten are
the least efficient, period.
273
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:48,860
Well, then I guess
all that's left is for you
274
00:12:48,893 --> 00:12:50,204
to tell me who they are
and for me to let them go.
275
00:12:50,228 --> 00:12:51,560
About that, Louis.
276
00:12:51,646 --> 00:12:53,387
I'd like to be the one
to do the letting go.
277
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:55,647
Katrina, I could never
ask you to do that.
278
00:12:55,733 --> 00:12:57,224
You're not asking, I am.
279
00:12:57,318 --> 00:12:58,712
I don't understand.
Why would you want to?
280
00:12:58,736 --> 00:13:00,798
Louis, you told me I could be
senior partner one day.
281
00:13:00,822 --> 00:13:03,235
Which means, I need
to be able to do things like this.
282
00:13:03,324 --> 00:13:05,065
- But...
- And as Ned Stark would say,
283
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:07,697
"He who passes the sentence
should swing the sword."
284
00:13:08,037 --> 00:13:09,515
You know I can never argue
with Ned Stark.
285
00:13:09,539 --> 00:13:11,781
I do. Thank you.
286
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:15,542
Katrina.
287
00:13:16,504 --> 00:13:18,791
- Make them clean deaths.
- I will.
288
00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:32,259
Jeremy Stiller.
289
00:13:32,353 --> 00:13:34,390
- Who are you?
- I work for Robert Zane.
290
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,813
Well, I'm sorry Ms. Works
for Robert Zane,
291
00:13:36,899 --> 00:13:39,607
but this is private property.
I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
292
00:13:39,694 --> 00:13:41,526
I have to say,
it almost feels like you knew
293
00:13:41,612 --> 00:13:42,853
this encounter would happen.
294
00:13:42,947 --> 00:13:44,563
That's because
Alex Williams told me
295
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:46,649
a man named Sam Wheeler
would be coming.
296
00:13:46,743 --> 00:13:48,137
Which means he was
resourceful enough
297
00:13:48,161 --> 00:13:50,222
to find out my name but didn't
have enough imagination
298
00:13:50,246 --> 00:13:51,366
to think I might be a woman.
299
00:13:51,414 --> 00:13:53,726
Well, he had enough imagination
to tell me not to take your call.
300
00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:56,710
And he only did that because he's afraid
you might like what I have to say.
301
00:13:56,753 --> 00:13:59,746
Well, I don't. Even if I did,
I'm loyal to Specter Litt.
302
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:03,003
Look, I'm sorry. Clearly we got off
on the wrong foot, but I...
303
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:06,005
We did. Now if you don't mind,
I have work to do.
304
00:14:09,515 --> 00:14:11,177
I grew up poor.
305
00:14:11,267 --> 00:14:13,600
We lived on a farm and my only chance
of going to college
306
00:14:13,686 --> 00:14:16,178
was to get a scholarship,
which I did.
307
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:21,442
Sophomore year, the company that funded
my scholarship went out of business.
308
00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:23,393
So I had a choice.
309
00:14:23,488 --> 00:14:25,901
Do it myself, or don't
do it at all.
310
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:32,737
Since then, I have scratched and clawed
for everything I have ever had.
311
00:14:34,332 --> 00:14:35,743
Why are you telling me this?
312
00:14:35,833 --> 00:14:39,668
Because the details were different,
but I know the same thing happened to you.
313
00:14:41,255 --> 00:14:42,837
Please.
314
00:14:43,424 --> 00:14:46,588
All I'm asking is for you
to hear me out.
315
00:14:48,721 --> 00:14:50,087
Okay, I'll hear you out.
316
00:14:50,181 --> 00:14:52,924
But there's no way
I'm dropping my business.
317
00:14:56,354 --> 00:14:57,765
Donna, do you have a minute?
318
00:14:57,855 --> 00:14:59,875
Does this have to do with the
associates we're letting go?
319
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:00,935
It does.
320
00:15:01,025 --> 00:15:03,253
And since I understand you'll be doing
exit interviews with them,
321
00:15:03,277 --> 00:15:05,143
I thought you should know
who's going.
322
00:15:06,114 --> 00:15:07,321
That's funny.
323
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:09,009
That's not what I thought
you'd be asking.
324
00:15:09,033 --> 00:15:10,524
What do you mean?
325
00:15:10,618 --> 00:15:12,530
Katrina, are you sure
you're going to be okay
326
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:14,907
firing people you've
worked with for years?
327
00:15:14,997 --> 00:15:16,797
I mean, I know you value
the firm, but this...
328
00:15:16,874 --> 00:15:18,490
I know it isn't going
to be easy, Donna.
329
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:22,828
I was once let go from here too,
but I'll tell you what I told Louis.
330
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:24,584
That if I'm going
to grow in my role here
331
00:15:24,674 --> 00:15:26,610
this is something I'm going
to have to learn to do.
332
00:15:26,634 --> 00:15:27,875
Fair enough.
333
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:31,761
Hang on a second,
has Louis seen this list?
334
00:15:31,848 --> 00:15:32,964
No, why?
335
00:15:33,057 --> 00:15:35,035
There's a problem with the first name.
He's not gonna like it.
336
00:15:35,059 --> 00:15:36,140
I know that.
337
00:15:36,227 --> 00:15:39,061
Then I suggest you let him know
before you pull the trigger.
338
00:15:39,230 --> 00:15:41,517
- I can't do that.
- Why not?
339
00:15:41,607 --> 00:15:43,849
Because this process
is supposed to be impartial.
340
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:45,543
And if I tell Louis
who I'm going to fire
341
00:15:45,570 --> 00:15:47,798
just because he won't
like one of the names on the list...
342
00:15:47,822 --> 00:15:49,905
What won't I like?
343
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:55,698
Louis, Katrina was just informing me
that it's not a good idea for you...
344
00:15:55,788 --> 00:15:57,700
What name?
345
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,201
- Brian.
- Nope.
346
00:15:59,333 --> 00:16:01,666
- Louis.
- Donna, this is between Katrina and me.
347
00:16:01,752 --> 00:16:02,913
No, Louis, it isn't.
348
00:16:03,004 --> 00:16:04,996
This is about the firm
and its integrity.
349
00:16:05,089 --> 00:16:07,001
You asked me to come up
with an objective metric
350
00:16:07,091 --> 00:16:09,424
and by that metric,
Brain Altman has to go.
351
00:16:09,510 --> 00:16:11,150
- So change the metric.
- I can't do that.
352
00:16:11,179 --> 00:16:13,671
And even if I could he'd be
just as likely to go down as go up.
353
00:16:13,764 --> 00:16:15,325
I understand that,
but I don't give a shit.
354
00:16:15,349 --> 00:16:16,510
- Anyone but Brian.
- Louis...
355
00:16:16,601 --> 00:16:18,809
Katrina, listen to me.
You asked for this responsibility
356
00:16:18,895 --> 00:16:20,932
so I gave it to you.
So now I am telling you
357
00:16:21,022 --> 00:16:23,389
to find a way to keep him.
358
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,518
Okay, Louis. I'll see
what I can do.
359
00:16:33,951 --> 00:16:35,158
Harvey, we need to talk.
360
00:16:35,244 --> 00:16:36,430
Don't tell me,
there's a problem.
361
00:16:36,454 --> 00:16:37,695
- There is.
- What is it now?
362
00:16:37,788 --> 00:16:38,995
It's not that big of a deal,
363
00:16:39,081 --> 00:16:40,809
but you're gonna have to figure out
what font to use
364
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:42,199
to put my name
on the letterhead.
365
00:16:42,293 --> 00:16:44,376
Because as of 2:00 p.m. today,
Robert Zane's client
366
00:16:44,462 --> 00:16:46,624
is officially dropping
their manufacturing division.
367
00:16:46,714 --> 00:16:47,795
You telling me you did it?
368
00:16:47,882 --> 00:16:49,234
Signed, sealed,
and delivered, my man.
369
00:16:49,258 --> 00:16:50,652
Now let's get down
to figuring out...
370
00:16:50,676 --> 00:16:53,168
What? How to counter
my last move?
371
00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:55,449
Because you may have
them signed and sealed
372
00:16:55,473 --> 00:16:58,011
but I'm here to tell you your
delivery got lost on the way.
373
00:16:58,434 --> 00:17:00,471
- Who the hell are you?
- Her name is Sam Wheeler.
374
00:17:00,561 --> 00:17:02,097
Truth be told, Alex,
I prefer Samantha.
375
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:03,349
You two know each other?
376
00:17:03,439 --> 00:17:05,000
No, but it doesn't
take a genius to figure out
377
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:06,981
- she's Zane's guy.
- He didn't figure it out.
378
00:17:07,068 --> 00:17:09,401
What I figured out is,
whoever you are,
379
00:17:09,487 --> 00:17:11,274
if you think you can waltz
into my office...
380
00:17:11,364 --> 00:17:12,650
- Harvey, I got it.
- Do you?
381
00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:14,857
Because unless I'm
misreading the situation,
382
00:17:14,951 --> 00:17:16,613
- she's saying you don't.
- Harvey.
383
00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:19,570
You know what, you two are
obviously having some trouble.
384
00:17:19,664 --> 00:17:21,266
The good news is
you'll have plenty of time
385
00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:24,124
to work it out because
as of end of business today,
386
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:27,044
your client is dropping
their manufacturing division.
387
00:17:27,129 --> 00:17:28,941
And we can get back to the
business of running this firm
388
00:17:28,965 --> 00:17:30,706
under the direction
of Robert Zane.
389
00:17:31,968 --> 00:17:34,711
You two have a nice...
You know I don't mean it.
390
00:17:38,307 --> 00:17:39,889
No.
391
00:17:40,101 --> 00:17:42,093
- What do you mean, no?
- I mean this is my fight.
392
00:17:42,186 --> 00:17:44,223
You asked me to fight it,
and I'm not gonna
393
00:17:44,313 --> 00:17:45,582
let you step into the middle
of Round 2.
394
00:17:45,606 --> 00:17:47,017
It may be the middle
of Round 2,
395
00:17:47,108 --> 00:17:49,270
but you just told me you got
a first round knock-out.
396
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:51,192
Well, I was wrong.
But I'm still in the ring,
397
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:53,340
my partnership's on the line,
and I'm not getting out.
398
00:17:53,364 --> 00:17:56,402
- Then you better win.
- Where you going?
399
00:17:56,951 --> 00:17:59,193
To pick a fight in my
own weight class.
400
00:18:03,833 --> 00:18:06,166
Robert, how are you?
Settling in all right?
401
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:08,209
Doing just fine,
thanks for asking.
402
00:18:08,296 --> 00:18:09,582
What can I do for you?
403
00:18:09,672 --> 00:18:11,208
I just dropped by
to tell you I had
404
00:18:11,299 --> 00:18:13,211
an interesting conversation
with your girl, Sam.
405
00:18:13,301 --> 00:18:15,964
(LAUGHS) She's kicking
your ass, isn't she?
406
00:18:16,053 --> 00:18:17,464
Not mine.
Since neither of you
407
00:18:17,555 --> 00:18:19,155
had the balls to invite me
into the ring.
408
00:18:19,181 --> 00:18:20,467
Just like you didn't
invite me.
409
00:18:20,558 --> 00:18:23,016
And don't give me any of this
nonsense about we had a deal.
410
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:24,889
Because you broke it
just as fast as I did.
411
00:18:24,979 --> 00:18:27,813
I did, but my issue isn't that
she's fighting your battles for you.
412
00:18:27,898 --> 00:18:31,733
It's that she walked into my office like
I wasn't the managing partner of this firm.
413
00:18:31,986 --> 00:18:34,899
And I didn't like the way
she introduced herself to me either.
414
00:18:34,989 --> 00:18:38,153
But that's not what your issue is.
You're pissed.
415
00:18:38,242 --> 00:18:40,575
Because I didn't get
in the ring myself.
416
00:18:40,661 --> 00:18:42,431
Because if I'm not in there,
you're not in there.
417
00:18:42,455 --> 00:18:44,196
And you can't stand not
being in there.
418
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:47,624
Are you saying I always have to shoot?
Because I'm fine passing the ball.
419
00:18:47,752 --> 00:18:49,084
I'm talking about
being a coach.
420
00:18:49,170 --> 00:18:51,378
And if you were one, you
wouldn't mind
421
00:18:51,464 --> 00:18:53,304
just sitting back
and watching Samantha Wheeler
422
00:18:53,341 --> 00:18:54,457
eat your boy for breakfast.
423
00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:57,384
And if you think that's gonna happen,
you don't know Alex Williams.
424
00:18:57,470 --> 00:18:59,507
Oh, I know that's what's
gonna happen.
425
00:18:59,597 --> 00:19:01,884
And the person you don't know
is Harvey Specter.
426
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:03,385
I know myself just fine.
427
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:05,276
Then tell me you'll stay
the hell out of this.
428
00:19:05,311 --> 00:19:08,145
No problem, I just gave
Alex my word I'd stay out.
429
00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:11,209
And what kind of managing partner
would I be if I couldn't live up to my word.
430
00:19:11,233 --> 00:19:12,586
Because, just so
we're clear, Robert,
431
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:15,102
- I am managing partner.
- Whatever you say, Harvey.
432
00:19:15,196 --> 00:19:18,815
But remember, you didn't only give your
word to Alex Williams anymore.
433
00:19:18,908 --> 00:19:21,025
You just gave your word to me.
434
00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:35,752
And the next thing I knew,
there were peas everywhere!
435
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:40,044
On me, on the wall,
everywhere but in his mouth.
436
00:19:40,137 --> 00:19:43,096
- I'm telling you, it was...
- Disgusting.
437
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,387
I was gonna say adorable,
but...
438
00:19:47,478 --> 00:19:49,094
Anyway, this is nice.
439
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:51,100
Katrina, I'm glad
you suggested lunch.
440
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:53,273
So tell me, Brian.
441
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,817
Do you think that
having a baby
442
00:19:55,903 --> 00:19:57,815
has made you more productive
in the workplace?
443
00:19:57,905 --> 00:19:59,862
- Are you kidding me?
- I see.
444
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:01,690
Then what
about your efficiency?
445
00:20:01,784 --> 00:20:04,242
I understand children
sometimes necessitate
446
00:20:04,328 --> 00:20:05,694
better time management skills.
447
00:20:05,788 --> 00:20:07,474
For my wife, maybe.
But to tell you the truth,
448
00:20:07,498 --> 00:20:08,989
I'm all over the place.
449
00:20:09,083 --> 00:20:11,666
Then what would you say
are the areas where you do excel?
450
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:15,253
- With my son?
- No, Brian. At work.
451
00:20:15,798 --> 00:20:17,414
Oh, my God.
Am I getting fired?
452
00:20:17,508 --> 00:20:18,749
What? No.
453
00:20:18,843 --> 00:20:21,836
We were just talking about babies,
and it got me thinking...
454
00:20:21,929 --> 00:20:23,886
About my time
management skills?
455
00:20:23,973 --> 00:20:26,010
Katrina, don't lie to me.
I've heard the rumors.
456
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:28,558
Am I one of the ones
being let go from the merger?
457
00:20:28,644 --> 00:20:31,352
You heard right, Brian.
We are making some cuts.
458
00:20:31,439 --> 00:20:33,180
But you should know
the decisions were based
459
00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:35,056
on completely objective data.
460
00:20:35,151 --> 00:20:37,894
Completely objective?
I work my ass off for this firm.
461
00:20:38,154 --> 00:20:39,631
Well, your numbers certainly
don't show that.
462
00:20:39,655 --> 00:20:41,271
- My numbers?
- Yes, your numbers.
463
00:20:41,365 --> 00:20:43,072
The thing that indicates
how hard you work.
464
00:20:43,159 --> 00:20:44,445
I don't believe this.
465
00:20:44,535 --> 00:20:47,027
You know what, maybe people
were right about you.
466
00:20:47,121 --> 00:20:48,237
What does that mean?
467
00:20:48,330 --> 00:20:51,539
It means they say you're cold
and all you care about is your job.
468
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:54,413
Well, maybe they're right.
Maybe you are a robot.
469
00:20:54,503 --> 00:20:57,371
- How dare you say that to me.
- How dare I say that to you?
470
00:20:57,465 --> 00:20:59,548
I've been showing you
pictures of my child,
471
00:20:59,633 --> 00:21:02,046
and the whole time you've
just been waiting to fire me.
472
00:21:02,136 --> 00:21:03,363
What kind of person
would do that?
473
00:21:03,387 --> 00:21:05,549
You know what,
the kind of person
474
00:21:05,639 --> 00:21:09,508
who's been trying
to figure out how to save your job.
475
00:21:09,852 --> 00:21:13,562
But I haven't heard one thing
that I can use to justify keeping you.
476
00:21:13,647 --> 00:21:16,230
So as far as I'm concerned,
you're fired.
477
00:21:23,073 --> 00:21:24,939
Louis, can I talk to you
for second?
478
00:21:25,034 --> 00:21:26,320
Course, what do you need?
479
00:21:26,410 --> 00:21:27,679
I have something I want
to run by you.
480
00:21:27,703 --> 00:21:28,972
I need to know if you think
it'll work.
481
00:21:28,996 --> 00:21:30,032
What's going on?
482
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:32,267
Harvey's trying to get Zane's client
to drop their division, not ours.
483
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:33,531
And Zane's doing
the same thing.
484
00:21:33,584 --> 00:21:35,416
Let me guess, you're
on Team Harvey.
485
00:21:35,503 --> 00:21:37,711
- Exactly.
- What's your plan?
486
00:21:50,226 --> 00:21:51,342
Well?
487
00:21:52,394 --> 00:21:53,760
I love it.
488
00:21:53,854 --> 00:21:55,081
You don't think there's
an end around for her
489
00:21:55,105 --> 00:21:56,750
- with an injunction?
- The only way she could do
490
00:21:56,774 --> 00:21:57,959
that if she filed
an ex-parte motion.
491
00:21:57,983 --> 00:21:59,252
Which she can't do
retroactively.
492
00:21:59,276 --> 00:22:00,938
Alex, this is brilliant.
493
00:22:01,028 --> 00:22:03,736
- Do you need help filing it?
- No, Louis. I already did.
494
00:22:03,948 --> 00:22:06,986
I was checking to make sure
I didn't miss anything.
495
00:22:07,076 --> 00:22:08,533
Hey, Alex.
496
00:22:08,619 --> 00:22:11,077
Harvey told me that
you thought I was still mad at you
497
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,075
because I didn't come to you
about Zane.
498
00:22:13,165 --> 00:22:16,909
That's not true. As far as I'm concerned,
you are on our side. You always will be.
499
00:22:17,002 --> 00:22:20,245
When the time comes,
I'll back you as name partner.
500
00:22:20,631 --> 00:22:22,418
I appreciate that, Louis.
501
00:22:22,508 --> 00:22:23,589
Go get'em.
502
00:22:32,977 --> 00:22:34,497
Hey, Brian, I was just
about to come...
503
00:22:34,562 --> 00:22:36,804
- See me? Bullshit.
- What do you mean bullshit?
504
00:22:36,897 --> 00:22:39,264
I mean there's no way
you were gonna come see me
505
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:41,670
because you didn't even have
the balls to fire me to my face.
506
00:22:41,694 --> 00:22:43,435
What? Brian,
nobody's firing you.
507
00:22:43,529 --> 00:22:44,770
You're gonna look me
in the eye
508
00:22:44,864 --> 00:22:47,151
and tell me that Katrina
didn't run her numbers
509
00:22:47,241 --> 00:22:49,984
and determine that I don't work
hard enough to serve this firm?
510
00:22:50,077 --> 00:22:51,304
- No, that's not...
- You know what?
511
00:22:51,328 --> 00:22:53,048
If you'd at least come
and told me yourself,
512
00:22:53,122 --> 00:22:54,724
but why should I expect
something like that?
513
00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:57,331
After all, it's not like you
ever held my newborn son.
514
00:22:57,418 --> 00:23:00,001
Brian, please wait.
515
00:23:01,130 --> 00:23:03,622
I told Katrina to find
a way to keep you
516
00:23:03,716 --> 00:23:07,255
because I believe that you are
more than worthy of serving this firm.
517
00:23:07,428 --> 00:23:10,216
And I do care about you
and that is the truth.
518
00:23:10,306 --> 00:23:12,172
Yeah, well, maybe you did
tell her all that,
519
00:23:12,266 --> 00:23:14,223
but it didn't stop her
from firing me anyway.
520
00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:15,630
- Brian...
- You know what, Louis?
521
00:23:15,686 --> 00:23:18,456
If you need me, I'll be spending
the next two days getting my files in order.
522
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,597
Because contrary to
Katrina's analysis,
523
00:23:20,816 --> 00:23:23,684
I care about my clients,
and I'm a damn good lawyer.
524
00:23:34,914 --> 00:23:37,907
- Louis, before you say...
- What the fuck is your problem?
525
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,117
I gave you an order
and you blatantly ignored me.
526
00:23:40,210 --> 00:23:41,246
I didn't ignore you.
527
00:23:41,337 --> 00:23:44,501
Then what do you call firing Brian
when I specifically told you not to?
528
00:23:44,590 --> 00:23:46,832
Listen to me, I tried
not to fire him.
529
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:49,334
- I took him to lunch, and we...
- Oh, good, lunch.
530
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:50,906
I hope the chicken potpie
was delicious.
531
00:23:50,930 --> 00:23:53,638
- You still didn't do what I asked.
- You know what?
532
00:23:53,724 --> 00:23:55,716
I did do what you
originally asked.
533
00:23:55,809 --> 00:23:59,473
To objectively evaluate the associates.
Not coddle your teacher's pet.
534
00:23:59,563 --> 00:24:00,804
Screw what I originally asked.
535
00:24:00,898 --> 00:24:04,517
I told you to rejigger the metrics
to keep a valued associate.
536
00:24:04,610 --> 00:24:07,899
You think fudging the numbers wasn't
the first thing I tried? It didn't work.
537
00:24:07,988 --> 00:24:10,355
- He always came out too low.
- I don't care.
538
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:12,486
Well, I do.
Because I care about this firm.
539
00:24:12,576 --> 00:24:14,738
And what kind of message
does rejiggering the metrics
540
00:24:14,828 --> 00:24:17,741
send to the associates
who work 100 hours a week,
541
00:24:17,831 --> 00:24:19,823
who eat dinner here
every night,
542
00:24:19,917 --> 00:24:22,751
who don't even go on dates,
let alone have a baby.
543
00:24:22,836 --> 00:24:25,203
I don't care what message
it sends, Katrina.
544
00:24:25,297 --> 00:24:27,084
Brian is staying.
545
00:24:27,174 --> 00:24:29,257
Then you figure out
who goes instead.
546
00:24:29,343 --> 00:24:31,343
Because I'm not doing something
I don't believe in.
547
00:24:31,387 --> 00:24:34,971
No, Katrina. I told you once
and I'm telling you again.
548
00:24:35,057 --> 00:24:37,595
You asked for this job,
you are doing it.
549
00:24:43,774 --> 00:24:44,810
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
550
00:24:50,739 --> 00:24:53,322
Harvey. You need
to take a look at this.
551
00:24:53,409 --> 00:24:54,945
- What is it?
- It just came in.
552
00:24:55,035 --> 00:24:56,995
It's a proposed contract
of sale for Clavatin's...
553
00:24:57,037 --> 00:24:59,154
Manufacturing division.
Son of a bitch.
554
00:24:59,248 --> 00:25:02,741
I need to find out where Judge Thomas is,
and I need to find out now.
555
00:25:02,835 --> 00:25:04,955
Harvey, you can't do this
without Alex. It's his case.
556
00:25:05,045 --> 00:25:07,662
Then why the hell are you
the one telling me this and not him?
557
00:25:07,756 --> 00:25:10,568
Because he's probably out there fighting
because he thinks he can still win.
558
00:25:10,592 --> 00:25:13,926
Well, he's got one thing right.
We can still win. But he can't.
559
00:25:14,013 --> 00:25:15,845
And if you cut him out,
you won't win either.
560
00:25:15,931 --> 00:25:17,450
You think I can't take
Samantha Wheeler?
561
00:25:17,474 --> 00:25:19,181
I think you said you'd stay
out of it.
562
00:25:19,268 --> 00:25:21,681
And if you take over now
without even telling Alex,
563
00:25:21,770 --> 00:25:23,832
then you can find out where
Judge Thomas is yourself.
564
00:25:23,856 --> 00:25:27,099
Because I'm not gonna help you
tell your own team that you'll cut them out
565
00:25:27,192 --> 00:25:28,545
just to get the better
of Samantha Wheeler.
566
00:25:28,569 --> 00:25:30,561
Look, you want to tell Alex
what I'm doing?
567
00:25:30,654 --> 00:25:35,024
Go ahead. I am not about to sit
on the sidelines and watch us lose.
568
00:25:36,618 --> 00:25:38,109
Harvey.
569
00:25:39,872 --> 00:25:42,239
I'm only gonna ask you
this once.
570
00:25:44,460 --> 00:25:48,124
Is there a chance that you're overreacting
to Mike having just left?
571
00:25:48,213 --> 00:25:52,583
I don't know, Donna.
But to tell you the truth, I don't care.
572
00:25:53,969 --> 00:25:55,756
Okay.
573
00:25:55,846 --> 00:25:57,337
You win.
574
00:25:59,183 --> 00:26:01,140
I'll find out where
Judge Thomas is.
575
00:26:14,073 --> 00:26:16,315
Heavy is the head.
576
00:26:16,825 --> 00:26:19,317
Especially when
what has to be done is unjust.
577
00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:22,533
You still don't think that
Brian deserves to stay, do you?
578
00:26:22,623 --> 00:26:23,864
No, I don't.
579
00:26:23,957 --> 00:26:25,517
And when I told Louis
that it would send
580
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:27,541
the wrong kind of message
to the people who work
581
00:26:27,628 --> 00:26:31,338
their asses off for this firm
a lot more than Brian,
582
00:26:31,423 --> 00:26:33,164
he said he didn't give a shit.
583
00:26:33,258 --> 00:26:34,465
I see.
584
00:26:35,219 --> 00:26:36,835
And what Louis didn't
understand was
585
00:26:36,929 --> 00:26:39,763
that the people you're talking
about weren't just people.
586
00:26:39,890 --> 00:26:41,927
- It was you.
- How could you...
587
00:26:42,017 --> 00:26:43,929
Because I know what it's like
to give everything
588
00:26:44,019 --> 00:26:45,430
and still be taken
for granted.
589
00:26:45,521 --> 00:26:49,515
And for what it's worth, I think
Louis was wrong to say what he did.
590
00:26:50,025 --> 00:26:52,233
But he isn't wrong
about Brian.
591
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,481
- Well, I don't agree.
- I understand that.
592
00:26:54,571 --> 00:26:56,633
Probably has something to do
with why you told Harvey
593
00:26:56,657 --> 00:26:58,364
that I shouldn't
be made partner last year.
594
00:26:58,450 --> 00:27:00,988
- You knew about that?
- I do now.
595
00:27:01,578 --> 00:27:03,285
- Donna, it wasn't...
- Tell me.
596
00:27:03,372 --> 00:27:04,783
You ran all the numbers
for Louis,
597
00:27:04,873 --> 00:27:07,581
who are the top five most
efficient associates?
598
00:27:08,210 --> 00:27:12,454
Jesse, Sarah, Ryan, Carl,
and Gina.
599
00:27:12,631 --> 00:27:14,714
- Where does Brian sit?
- Right here.
600
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,089
Right here in the center
of those five people?
601
00:27:18,178 --> 00:27:20,215
Do you think that's a
coincidence?
602
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:22,088
- I had...
- Katrina.
603
00:27:22,182 --> 00:27:24,720
What you have yet to learn
is that there are players
604
00:27:24,810 --> 00:27:27,974
who never put up great stats,
but you keep them around
605
00:27:28,063 --> 00:27:30,521
because they make
the people around them better.
606
00:27:30,607 --> 00:27:33,190
Are you talking about
Brian or you?
607
00:27:33,277 --> 00:27:35,610
I'm talking about both.
608
00:27:35,696 --> 00:27:38,313
- So what do I do?
- You do what you said you'd do.
609
00:27:38,407 --> 00:27:41,195
You evaluate the associates.
610
00:27:41,285 --> 00:27:43,652
Only this time, do it better.
611
00:27:46,790 --> 00:27:48,952
I'm sorry, Donna.
612
00:27:51,587 --> 00:27:53,123
I shouldn't have gone
to Harvey.
613
00:27:53,213 --> 00:27:55,205
It's okay, Katrina.
614
00:27:55,465 --> 00:27:57,548
COO is where I'm meant to be.
615
00:28:03,182 --> 00:28:05,219
- Harvey.
- Alex,
616
00:28:05,309 --> 00:28:07,509
- before you say anything...
- No, you gave me your word
617
00:28:07,561 --> 00:28:09,052
that you were gonna stay
out of this.
618
00:28:09,146 --> 00:28:10,582
The next thing I know,
you're having a meeting
619
00:28:10,606 --> 00:28:11,813
about my client without me.
620
00:28:11,899 --> 00:28:13,936
- First of all, it's my client.
- And it's my case.
621
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:15,517
Which you were about to lose.
622
00:28:15,611 --> 00:28:17,147
- It was a setback.
- Bullshit.
623
00:28:17,237 --> 00:28:18,506
You were getting your ass
kicked.
624
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:20,133
- And don't tell me you weren't.
- God damn it, Harvey.
625
00:28:20,157 --> 00:28:22,069
Listen to me, Alex.
This woman is no joke.
626
00:28:22,159 --> 00:28:23,650
You saying I am?
627
00:28:23,911 --> 00:28:26,574
I'm saying I just met
with Judge Thomas,
628
00:28:26,663 --> 00:28:29,246
so I know exactly what it's
gonna take to beat her.
629
00:28:29,333 --> 00:28:31,871
So the hell what? I can play
dirty just as well as you.
630
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,872
Maybe you can,
but I gave you a promise
631
00:28:33,962 --> 00:28:35,169
to put your name on the wall.
632
00:28:35,255 --> 00:28:37,963
And if you play dirty to beat
Robert Zane's right hand,
633
00:28:38,050 --> 00:28:39,903
- it isn't gonna happen.
- You know what I think?
634
00:28:39,927 --> 00:28:41,634
That sounds like
some bullshit by a guy
635
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,840
who's just gonna do what
he wants like he always does.
636
00:28:43,889 --> 00:28:47,223
What I want, Alex,
is to stay managing partner.
637
00:28:47,309 --> 00:28:48,411
This is the way
that's gonna happen.
638
00:28:48,435 --> 00:28:49,926
- Harvey, I...
- That's enough.
639
00:28:50,020 --> 00:28:52,603
I'm taking it from here.
It's done.
640
00:29:06,245 --> 00:29:08,202
Katrina, I've got a lot
on my plate this morning.
641
00:29:08,288 --> 00:29:09,324
So if you don't mind...
642
00:29:09,414 --> 00:29:12,031
You just want your morning
coffee, I know.
643
00:29:12,834 --> 00:29:15,247
Was that part of your
efficiency evaluations?
644
00:29:15,337 --> 00:29:17,454
People's coffee consumption?
645
00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:20,415
Look, Brian, I was wrong
about you.
646
00:29:20,509 --> 00:29:24,674
I understand what you do for the firm
and I'm sorry for the things I said.
647
00:29:24,930 --> 00:29:27,513
Well, I appreciate that,
but if you're just saying this
648
00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:30,012
- because Louis told you to...
- No, I'm not.
649
00:29:30,352 --> 00:29:32,184
And he didn't.
650
00:29:33,939 --> 00:29:35,726
Then why are
you saying it?
651
00:29:35,816 --> 00:29:38,900
Because I took this assignment
hoping that it would help me grow.
652
00:29:38,986 --> 00:29:41,353
And if I can't ask for help
when I need it,
653
00:29:41,446 --> 00:29:44,189
then I have even more growing
to do than I thought.
654
00:29:44,491 --> 00:29:45,823
What do you mean ask for help?
655
00:29:45,909 --> 00:29:48,117
My evaluation of
the associates was flawed.
656
00:29:48,203 --> 00:29:50,911
It didn't take into account
intangibles,
657
00:29:51,248 --> 00:29:53,456
and I was hoping
you could help me fix that.
658
00:29:53,542 --> 00:29:55,144
You mean you want me
to help you figure out
659
00:29:55,168 --> 00:29:56,750
who to fire instead of me.
660
00:29:56,837 --> 00:29:58,064
No, Brian, that's not
what I meant.
661
00:29:58,088 --> 00:29:59,420
Yes, it is.
And I'm sure firing
662
00:29:59,506 --> 00:30:01,748
my fellow associates
is a value to the firm,
663
00:30:01,842 --> 00:30:03,674
but I'm not gonna
help you do it.
664
00:30:11,685 --> 00:30:14,723
- What the hell did you do?
- I didn't do anything.
665
00:30:14,813 --> 00:30:16,679
Well, except for the thing
that I did.
666
00:30:16,773 --> 00:30:17,933
You mean going
to Judge Thomas
667
00:30:17,983 --> 00:30:21,602
and having him allow fabricated testimony
to overrule my motion.
668
00:30:21,695 --> 00:30:24,733
It wasn't fabricated,
but it sure as hell was allowed.
669
00:30:24,823 --> 00:30:26,426
And how exactly
did you get him to do that?
670
00:30:26,450 --> 00:30:28,487
You know how I did it,
or you don't.
671
00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:30,697
And if you don't, well,
I'm not about
672
00:30:30,787 --> 00:30:32,278
to open up my playbook
and show you.
673
00:30:32,372 --> 00:30:35,740
Well, Mr. Slick, I don't give a shit
how you did it. I'm going to undo it
674
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:37,166
because this is isn't over.
675
00:30:37,252 --> 00:30:38,692
- Yes, it is.
- We'll see about that.
676
00:30:38,754 --> 00:30:41,622
No, we won't. Because I'm
giving you a direct order.
677
00:30:42,007 --> 00:30:45,751
You are not to take any action to affect
the outcome of this situation.
678
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:47,585
And you can give me
all the orders you want.
679
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:50,888
The only person I answer
to is Robert Zane.
680
00:30:50,974 --> 00:30:52,966
So if you want to stop
what I'm about to do,
681
00:30:53,060 --> 00:30:55,393
you better talk to him
before I goddamn do it.
682
00:30:55,896 --> 00:30:58,980
- Don't you walk away from me.
- Kiss my ass.
683
00:31:02,986 --> 00:31:06,696
All right, Robert. I have been patient,
but it's over, and I've won.
684
00:31:06,782 --> 00:31:08,114
Call off the dogs.
685
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,510
What the hell did you
just say to me?
686
00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:11,346
I said call off the dogs.
I'm not gonna have someone
687
00:31:11,370 --> 00:31:13,410
inside my own firm who
doesn't know when she's lost.
688
00:31:13,455 --> 00:31:16,664
The only one in here who doesn't know
that they've lost is you.
689
00:31:16,792 --> 00:31:18,499
I didn't lose shit.
690
00:31:18,585 --> 00:31:20,605
And if you think I might,
why don't you pick up the phone
691
00:31:20,629 --> 00:31:22,291
and call Judge Thomas
right now?
692
00:31:22,381 --> 00:31:23,566
I'm not talking
about Judge Thomas.
693
00:31:23,590 --> 00:31:24,817
Then what the hell
are you talking about?
694
00:31:24,841 --> 00:31:26,319
I'm talking about the fact
that you stood right here
695
00:31:26,343 --> 00:31:29,006
and gave your word that you
would stay out of this thing.
696
00:31:29,262 --> 00:31:30,548
And not only did you break it,
697
00:31:30,639 --> 00:31:32,972
now you're in here
trying to drag me into it.
698
00:31:33,266 --> 00:31:35,349
Nothing to say? That's right.
699
00:31:35,435 --> 00:31:37,705
You may have won the battle,
but you lost the goddamn war.
700
00:31:37,729 --> 00:31:39,721
Because you just showed
this entire firm
701
00:31:39,815 --> 00:31:41,556
only one of us is managing
partner material.
702
00:31:41,650 --> 00:31:43,312
And it isn't you.
703
00:31:44,277 --> 00:31:47,486
This is my firm, and I'm not gonna
let you take it.
704
00:31:47,572 --> 00:31:50,406
I'm gonna let you in
on a little secret, Harvey.
705
00:31:50,492 --> 00:31:51,653
I already have.
706
00:31:52,244 --> 00:31:55,658
Now, why don't you let
that rattle around for a little while,
707
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:58,865
and then come back when
you're ready to tell me that I'm right.
708
00:32:11,471 --> 00:32:13,212
You can come in, you know.
709
00:32:13,306 --> 00:32:15,138
- Sorry, I didn't mean to...
- Yes, you did.
710
00:32:15,225 --> 00:32:17,785
You just wanted to let me
finish whatever I was in the middle of.
711
00:32:18,061 --> 00:32:19,393
Not bad.
712
00:32:19,479 --> 00:32:21,015
Thank you.
You're welcome.
713
00:32:21,231 --> 00:32:24,099
No, I mean, thanks for sticking
up for me with Katrina.
714
00:32:24,192 --> 00:32:26,650
- You figured it out.
- I did.
715
00:32:27,904 --> 00:32:29,736
I was right about you.
716
00:32:29,823 --> 00:32:30,925
Aren't you right
about everybody?
717
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:33,407
Yeah, pretty much.
718
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:36,986
And now I have something
else to be right about.
719
00:32:37,956 --> 00:32:39,618
Katrina needs your help.
720
00:32:39,708 --> 00:32:41,415
Maybe she does,
but if I'd thought
721
00:32:41,501 --> 00:32:45,415
about the fact that me staying would mean
someone I care about might get fired,
722
00:32:45,505 --> 00:32:47,918
I wouldn't have gone
to Louis in the first place.
723
00:32:48,008 --> 00:32:50,546
And that, right there, is the reason
we were right to keep you.
724
00:32:50,635 --> 00:32:52,592
And as I see it,
725
00:32:52,679 --> 00:32:55,342
you can either help Katrina
make the right decision,
726
00:32:55,432 --> 00:32:58,266
or live with the fact that
she might make the wrong one.
727
00:32:58,351 --> 00:33:00,013
Like she almost did
with you.
728
00:33:15,911 --> 00:33:17,197
Harvey, what can I do for you?
729
00:33:17,287 --> 00:33:19,056
I'll tell you what
you should have done for me.
730
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,037
Stop me from taking
the case from Alex.
731
00:33:21,124 --> 00:33:22,911
And if you recall,
that's what I tried to do.
732
00:33:23,043 --> 00:33:25,354
- And then you changed your mind.
- Because I listened to you.
733
00:33:25,378 --> 00:33:27,870
Well, you picked a hell of
a time to start doing that
734
00:33:27,964 --> 00:33:29,125
because Zane set me up.
735
00:33:29,216 --> 00:33:30,296
I don't care what Zane did,
736
00:33:30,342 --> 00:33:31,819
you went after her
because it's who you are.
737
00:33:31,843 --> 00:33:33,880
And you're supposed to be
saving me from myself.
738
00:33:34,012 --> 00:33:36,675
- Which is exactly what I did.
- How the hell do you figure that?
739
00:33:36,806 --> 00:33:39,674
- Harvey, Mike left.
- What does that have to do with this?
740
00:33:39,768 --> 00:33:42,852
It has everything to do with it.
Because the reason he left is
741
00:33:42,938 --> 00:33:45,351
because he finally
came to terms with who he is.
742
00:33:46,358 --> 00:33:47,894
And now that he's gone,
743
00:33:47,984 --> 00:33:50,442
who you are is a man
who wants back in the game.
744
00:33:50,904 --> 00:33:53,897
Don't you see, you've been
to the top of the mountain.
745
00:33:53,990 --> 00:33:58,325
You've proved you can do it,
and you may not want to admit it,
746
00:33:58,620 --> 00:34:02,830
but you're getting tired of
just sitting up there, enjoying the view.
747
00:34:02,916 --> 00:34:06,500
Donna, how's it gonna look to
the rest of the world if I step down?
748
00:34:06,586 --> 00:34:10,125
I'll tell you how.
Like no other firm can touch us.
749
00:34:10,215 --> 00:34:15,427
Not with you and Robert doing what
everybody knows you were meant to do.
750
00:34:15,512 --> 00:34:17,629
And by that...
751
00:34:17,722 --> 00:34:21,841
I mean pulling off the kind of shit that
only Harvey Specter can do.
752
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,568
- Katrina. You wanted to see me?
- Yes.
753
00:34:40,662 --> 00:34:42,699
Bridget, please sit down.
754
00:34:50,672 --> 00:34:52,959
Am I getting fired?
755
00:34:53,049 --> 00:34:55,587
Yes. I'm afraid you are.
756
00:34:55,677 --> 00:35:00,138
Katrina, I know we merged,
but I have a ton of student debt.
757
00:35:00,223 --> 00:35:04,934
My landlord just
raised my rent,
758
00:35:05,020 --> 00:35:07,763
and I promised to pay for
my nephew's daycare
759
00:35:07,856 --> 00:35:10,348
so my sister could go back
to school.
760
00:35:10,442 --> 00:35:12,399
Please.
761
00:35:12,485 --> 00:35:17,105
There's got to be something I
can do to get a second chance.
762
00:35:20,702 --> 00:35:23,945
I'm sorry, Bridget, but the
decision's already been made.
763
00:35:26,833 --> 00:35:28,745
I do wish you
the best of luck.
764
00:35:50,774 --> 00:35:53,767
You know, life was simpler
when this was my office.
765
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:56,068
As I understand,
when you were in this office
766
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:59,443
you almost went to prison
for Mike Ross.
767
00:36:00,617 --> 00:36:03,075
I don't see what was
simpler about that.
768
00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:05,153
Yeah, you do.
769
00:36:06,539 --> 00:36:08,576
Robert, you said
that I should come back
770
00:36:08,667 --> 00:36:11,626
when I was ready to admit
that you were right.
771
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:14,708
Well, I'm back.
772
00:36:14,798 --> 00:36:18,792
Takes a big man to admit that,
Harvey.
773
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:20,626
I appreciate it.
774
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:22,712
You're not gonna
try to hug me, are you?
775
00:36:22,806 --> 00:36:26,345
I don't know what goes on between you
and Louis, but I'll pass.
776
00:36:27,602 --> 00:36:29,764
Then I guess this is
the part where I make
777
00:36:29,854 --> 00:36:32,972
my first humble request
to my fearless leader.
778
00:36:33,483 --> 00:36:37,102
That took about two seconds.
Let's hear it.
779
00:36:38,405 --> 00:36:40,522
My office.
780
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:44,363
- What about it?
- I want it back.
781
00:36:45,870 --> 00:36:50,990
In that case, your
fearless leader is happy to comply.
782
00:36:57,173 --> 00:36:59,790
What do you say we go out
and grab those burgers?
783
00:36:59,884 --> 00:37:01,876
Not tonight,
but we will.
784
00:37:01,970 --> 00:37:04,929
I still have something
I have to take care of.
785
00:37:15,442 --> 00:37:18,105
- You were right.
- About what?
786
00:37:18,194 --> 00:37:21,187
It wasn't easy firing
those people.
787
00:37:21,281 --> 00:37:24,695
- So it's done?
- It's done.
788
00:37:24,909 --> 00:37:28,243
You mind if I ask if Brian ended
up helping with this list?
789
00:37:28,329 --> 00:37:29,615
He did.
790
00:37:29,706 --> 00:37:32,164
And you were right
about him, too.
791
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:35,914
Well, as long as we're
handing out "you were rights,"
792
00:37:36,004 --> 00:37:39,042
you were right about being
the one to let those people go.
793
00:37:39,132 --> 00:37:40,401
You mean it's good
for my growth.
794
00:37:40,425 --> 00:37:43,213
No, I mean, I'm glad I didn't
have to do it. It sucks.
795
00:37:47,140 --> 00:37:50,008
Hey, you want to grab
a drink or something?
796
00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:52,343
- I'd love to.
- Katrina.
797
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,136
Robert.
798
00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:56,267
Give me a second with Red here,
will you?
799
00:37:56,357 --> 00:37:59,395
Of course. I'll be
in my office.
800
00:37:59,486 --> 00:38:01,227
Am I in trouble?
801
00:38:01,321 --> 00:38:03,028
Why, you do something wrong?
802
00:38:03,114 --> 00:38:06,323
(SIGHS) I guess that depends
on what you mean by wrong.
803
00:38:06,409 --> 00:38:08,617
I'm not here because
you're in trouble.
804
00:38:08,703 --> 00:38:11,992
I'm here because Harvey
just asked me to swap offices,
805
00:38:12,081 --> 00:38:15,370
and then he told I was right.
806
00:38:15,460 --> 00:38:18,669
And I doubt those words have
ever come out of that man's mouth
807
00:38:18,755 --> 00:38:21,042
without first having
a conversation with you.
808
00:38:21,132 --> 00:38:22,234
You sound pretty sure
of yourself
809
00:38:22,258 --> 00:38:24,069
for a man who's only been here
about ten minutes.
810
00:38:24,093 --> 00:38:27,586
You think Rachel didn't tell her father
about the mighty Donna Paulsen?
811
00:38:29,015 --> 00:38:32,224
Guess I never thought of her
as much of a chatterbox.
812
00:38:32,310 --> 00:38:35,428
Then again, she did tell me
about the time that you took...
813
00:38:35,522 --> 00:38:37,730
I, I... Whatever it is.
Just remember,
814
00:38:37,816 --> 00:38:39,148
once you say it out loud,
815
00:38:39,234 --> 00:38:40,954
we can never pretend
that you don't know it.
816
00:38:41,027 --> 00:38:46,147
And that, Robert Lucas Zane,
is why you are managing partner.
817
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,534
- Good night, Donna.
- Good night, Robert.
818
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:58,417
You really have no concept
of boundaries, do you?
819
00:38:58,753 --> 00:39:01,120
You know, most people
would be here to tell you
820
00:39:01,214 --> 00:39:03,297
they think we got off
on the wrong foot.
821
00:39:03,383 --> 00:39:06,501
But I'm here to say
we got off on the right one.
822
00:39:06,594 --> 00:39:08,085
And what foot is that?
823
00:39:08,179 --> 00:39:10,115
The one where you and I discover
we're not so different after all.
824
00:39:10,139 --> 00:39:12,005
I don't think I'm anything
like you.
825
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:13,716
You are. Right down
to the fact
826
00:39:13,810 --> 00:39:16,018
that we both grew up in
Riverside, New York.
827
00:39:16,104 --> 00:39:18,596
Which is why we'll both
always feel like outsiders
828
00:39:18,690 --> 00:39:20,773
no matter how much
we earn their respect.
829
00:39:20,859 --> 00:39:24,899
- How do you know that about me?
- Because I do my homework.
830
00:39:24,988 --> 00:39:27,480
Maybe we are alike.
831
00:39:27,574 --> 00:39:29,065
That's all I wanted to say.
832
00:39:29,158 --> 00:39:30,649
Except for one thing.
833
00:39:30,743 --> 00:39:33,451
You told Jeremy Stiller
that you grew up on a farm,
834
00:39:33,538 --> 00:39:36,997
and last I checked
there aren't any farms in Riverside.
835
00:39:37,083 --> 00:39:41,453
And that little observation is the reason
we got off on the right foot.
836
00:39:41,546 --> 00:39:42,582
I don't follow.
837
00:39:42,672 --> 00:39:43,858
There are three things
that happen
838
00:39:43,882 --> 00:39:45,794
when I tell different people
different stories.
839
00:39:45,884 --> 00:39:48,126
One, they don't recognize it.
840
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:50,302
Which means I don't need
to worry about them.
841
00:39:50,388 --> 00:39:52,095
Two, they know I did it,
842
00:39:52,181 --> 00:39:53,742
but don't have the balls
to say anything.
843
00:39:53,766 --> 00:39:56,099
Which means I need to worry
about them even less.
844
00:39:56,185 --> 00:39:59,144
Or three, they call me on it.
845
00:39:59,230 --> 00:40:01,847
And believe me,
three is my kind of guy.
846
00:40:03,276 --> 00:40:06,440
Well, in that case,
welcome to the firm.
847
00:40:07,071 --> 00:40:08,778
Glad to be here.
848
00:40:08,948 --> 00:40:11,782
Oh. And by the way,
I would have won.
849
00:40:18,416 --> 00:40:19,452
(DOOR CLOSES)
850
00:40:27,008 --> 00:40:28,215
Alex.
851
00:40:28,301 --> 00:40:30,042
It's 10:00 at night,
what are you doing?
852
00:40:30,136 --> 00:40:32,239
I'm going through every one
of Samantha Wheeler's files.
853
00:40:32,263 --> 00:40:34,596
'Cause a fight's coming,
and I'm gonna be ready.
854
00:40:34,891 --> 00:40:36,723
Okay, listen to me.
855
00:40:37,101 --> 00:40:40,640
Because, believe me,
I've been where you are before.
856
00:40:41,397 --> 00:40:43,354
Don't start something
that you'll regret later.
857
00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:44,727
Then what am I supposed to do?
858
00:40:44,817 --> 00:40:47,935
How about you make a friend now
that you'll be happy about later.
859
00:40:48,029 --> 00:40:50,191
Are you crazy?
She's not looking to make friends.
860
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:51,647
Maybe not, but, Alex,
listen to me.
861
00:40:51,741 --> 00:40:53,501
In the long run,
this woman is going nowhere.
862
00:40:53,701 --> 00:40:56,409
You got Harvey and me on your side.
You get the trifecta,
863
00:40:56,496 --> 00:40:59,159
I don't care what she does.
Never gonna beat you again.
864
00:40:59,248 --> 00:41:01,456
Are you suggesting
I kiss Robert Zane's ass?
865
00:41:01,542 --> 00:41:03,374
- 'Cause I'm not gonna do that.
- No, Alex.
866
00:41:03,461 --> 00:41:05,703
I'm just saying get
to know the man.
867
00:41:05,797 --> 00:41:08,255
And how exactly would you
suggest I do that?
868
00:41:08,341 --> 00:41:11,925
That's up to you. I happen to know
the man plays golf. So do you.
869
00:41:12,011 --> 00:41:15,504
If it were up to me,
I would start right there.
870
00:41:31,322 --> 00:41:33,279
Make yourself at home.
871
00:41:33,366 --> 00:41:35,403
Don't mind if I do.
872
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:38,861
Well, as long as you're here.
873
00:41:38,955 --> 00:41:41,197
You came through, like always.
874
00:41:41,290 --> 00:41:42,997
- Thanks, Samantha.
- Like always.
875
00:41:43,084 --> 00:41:45,622
What happened to,
"You let me down a time or two"?
876
00:41:45,712 --> 00:41:48,671
Come on, you know
I get like that sometimes.
877
00:41:48,756 --> 00:41:50,839
What's going on?
Something on your mind?
878
00:41:50,925 --> 00:41:53,087
Yeah, there is. I did
what you asked
879
00:41:53,219 --> 00:41:55,506
- and now I have something to ask.
- What's that?
880
00:41:55,596 --> 00:41:58,009
I don't want to just be
your Michael Clayton.
881
00:41:58,099 --> 00:41:59,715
I want more.
882
00:42:00,184 --> 00:42:02,972
- I'm married.
- Come on, Robert.
883
00:42:03,062 --> 00:42:05,270
You know what I want,
and it's time.
884
00:42:05,356 --> 00:42:06,938
Samantha, we've been
over this.
885
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:09,688
You get name partner,
and you're not going to be able
886
00:42:09,777 --> 00:42:11,518
to operate the way
you always have.
887
00:42:11,612 --> 00:42:13,340
You mean I won't be able
to clean up your messes.
888
00:42:13,364 --> 00:42:15,606
My messes aren't
the only ones you clean up.
889
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:17,594
I believe you spend half the
time cleaning up your own.
890
00:42:17,618 --> 00:42:19,701
Is that what I spent
the last few days doing?
891
00:42:19,787 --> 00:42:21,744
- Samantha?
- Robert, I want name partner.
892
00:42:21,831 --> 00:42:23,697
And I want it before
the year is out.
893
00:42:23,791 --> 00:42:25,202
Or what?
894
00:42:25,793 --> 00:42:28,251
Before the year
is out, Robert.
