00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,179
Previously on "Suits"...
2
00:00:01,180 --> 00:00:02,698
I got approached today
by the New York Bar.
3
00:00:02,699 --> 00:00:03,773
The guy pretty much told me
4
00:00:03,774 --> 00:00:06,086
if we don't take Zane's name
down, they'll do it for us.
5
00:00:06,087 --> 00:00:07,821
If you can't tell me who you are to him,
6
00:00:07,822 --> 00:00:09,506
maybe you can tell me who he is to you.
7
00:00:09,507 --> 00:00:10,865
I just know that he's somebody
8
00:00:10,866 --> 00:00:13,077
that I can't seem to figure
out how to cut out of me.
9
00:00:13,078 --> 00:00:14,411
I know exactly what you two are doing.
10
00:00:14,412 --> 00:00:15,736
Louis, before you jump...
11
00:00:15,737 --> 00:00:16,905
You were up all night
trying to figure out
12
00:00:16,906 --> 00:00:18,072
how you were gonna
handle the Zane situation.
13
00:00:18,073 --> 00:00:20,308
You're my lawyer. You knew
something, and you kept it from me.
14
00:00:20,309 --> 00:00:21,495
We've been over this. The reason I...
15
00:00:21,496 --> 00:00:22,533
What we haven't been over
16
00:00:22,534 --> 00:00:23,980
is that I was forced to lie yesterday.
17
00:00:23,981 --> 00:00:25,597
The longer we leave his name up there,
18
00:00:25,598 --> 00:00:27,668
the more damage we inflict on ourselves.
19
00:00:27,669 --> 00:00:28,825
No, I'm not doing it.
20
00:00:28,826 --> 00:00:30,798
The Bar tried to get me to
take over as managing partner.
21
00:00:30,799 --> 00:00:32,014
You're here to tell
me you're taking over?
22
00:00:32,015 --> 00:00:33,072
I'm here to tell you
23
00:00:33,073 --> 00:00:34,850
that if they can do that,
what else can they do?
24
00:00:34,851 --> 00:00:35,999
We need to put an end to this.
25
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,068
What are you talking about?
26
00:00:37,069 --> 00:00:38,326
I'm talking about taking
Robert's name down.
27
00:00:38,327 --> 00:00:39,351
What's going on here?
28
00:00:39,352 --> 00:00:41,254
If we don't do this,
this firm has no future.
29
00:00:41,255 --> 00:00:42,639
If you do this, you'll be lucky
30
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,249
if I don't go to the Bar and
tell them what really happened.
31
00:00:45,250 --> 00:00:46,575
This is a court order
32
00:00:46,576 --> 00:00:48,396
granting me full
control of your law firm.
33
00:00:48,397 --> 00:00:51,157
You can refuse, in which
case the Bar will suspend
34
00:00:51,158 --> 00:00:53,392
every partner in this
firm for six months.
35
00:00:57,842 --> 00:00:59,274
You up for another round?
36
00:01:00,752 --> 00:01:02,186
You're probably the only one here
37
00:01:02,187 --> 00:01:03,254
who could give me a real fight,
38
00:01:03,255 --> 00:01:06,157
but I doubt a workout is why you texted.
39
00:01:06,158 --> 00:01:07,790
You always did call me on my shit.
40
00:01:08,693 --> 00:01:10,161
So what's going on, Lucas?
41
00:01:10,162 --> 00:01:11,575
To put it bluntly, I got fired.
42
00:01:11,576 --> 00:01:13,397
What? Last I heard the
job was going great.
43
00:01:13,398 --> 00:01:16,494
It was, but we just missed
out on a DOD contract.
44
00:01:16,495 --> 00:01:18,135
Which means they're letting guys go.
45
00:01:18,136 --> 00:01:19,470
But only one from my department.
46
00:01:19,471 --> 00:01:22,106
And the guy they're keeping
is the CEO's son-in-law.
47
00:01:22,107 --> 00:01:24,306
It's nepotism, no two ways about it.
48
00:01:24,307 --> 00:01:25,968
It's more than that. It's a lawsuit.
49
00:01:25,969 --> 00:01:27,159
I thought so too.
50
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,394
So you know any hotshot lawyers
51
00:01:28,395 --> 00:01:29,639
that might be interested in my case?
52
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,219
I might.
53
00:01:31,220 --> 00:01:33,178
Why don't we get breakfast?
You can fill me in.
54
00:01:33,179 --> 00:01:35,553
Okay, but if you're buying,
it better show up on my bill,
55
00:01:35,554 --> 00:01:37,121
because I didn't come
looking for charity.
56
00:01:37,122 --> 00:01:39,524
It's not charity. It's called pro bono.
57
00:01:39,525 --> 00:01:41,759
- Samantha...
- Lucas, we served together.
58
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,561
I'm not taking no for an answer.
59
00:01:47,643 --> 00:01:51,135
Harvey, Donna. What a pleasant surprise.
60
00:01:51,136 --> 00:01:53,340
Can I interest you in some Weetabix?
61
00:01:53,341 --> 00:01:55,169
Wow. What are you wearing?
62
00:01:55,170 --> 00:01:57,056
What do you mean, what
am I wearing? It's my mankini.
63
00:01:57,057 --> 00:01:58,768
- Your what now?
- It's a Speedo.
64
00:01:58,769 --> 00:02:00,035
I wear it instead of underwear.
65
00:02:00,036 --> 00:02:01,975
It's incredibly supportive.
Here, let me show you.
66
00:02:01,976 --> 00:02:03,810
- Donna?
- Louis, as much as we would
67
00:02:03,811 --> 00:02:06,613
love for you to show us how
supportive your underwear is,
68
00:02:06,614 --> 00:02:09,549
Harvey and I are here
to share some news...
69
00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:11,640
about why we were
together the other morning.
70
00:02:11,641 --> 00:02:13,599
Yeah, I know why you were together.
You were worried about the firm.
71
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,229
Except the firm isn't the reason why
72
00:02:15,230 --> 00:02:17,132
Harvey came over the
other night, and it's...
73
00:02:17,133 --> 00:02:19,100
definitely not why he stayed over.
74
00:02:19,583 --> 00:02:21,819
Wait, Harvey, you have a
problem with your plumbing?
75
00:02:21,820 --> 00:02:23,077
'Cause if you need to use my shower...
76
00:02:23,078 --> 00:02:24,868
That's not what she's
saying, Louis, and...
77
00:02:24,869 --> 00:02:26,391
I'm never gonna use your shower.
78
00:02:26,392 --> 00:02:27,559
It's got a steam feature!
79
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,395
- Come on upstairs. I'll show you.
- Louis!
80
00:02:30,396 --> 00:02:32,253
- Harvey and I are together.
- Yeah, I know you're together.
81
00:02:32,254 --> 00:02:33,489
You're standing right in front of me.
82
00:02:33,490 --> 00:02:34,856
See? This is what I'm talking about.
83
00:02:34,857 --> 00:02:36,558
I mean, like, how did even
make it through law school?
84
00:02:36,559 --> 00:02:40,094
No, no, no, no, no. Harvey
and I are in a relationship.
85
00:02:41,563 --> 00:02:44,466
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.
86
00:02:44,467 --> 00:02:45,768
And we didn't want to tell you before
87
00:02:45,769 --> 00:02:47,602
because it wasn't the right
time but we're telling you now
88
00:02:47,603 --> 00:02:48,660
because we're happy
89
00:02:48,661 --> 00:02:50,189
and we don't want to hide that anymore.
90
00:02:50,190 --> 00:02:51,923
Especially not from our partner
91
00:02:52,241 --> 00:02:53,575
and our friend.
92
00:02:53,576 --> 00:02:55,110
I really appreciate that, Harvey,
93
00:02:55,111 --> 00:02:57,145
and I am so happy for you both.
94
00:02:57,146 --> 00:02:58,546
But?
95
00:02:58,547 --> 00:03:00,248
A proper celebration's
gonna have to wait
96
00:03:00,249 --> 00:03:01,778
because I have some news too.
97
00:03:01,779 --> 00:03:03,418
What is it, Louis?
98
00:03:03,419 --> 00:03:05,453
We have a problem.
99
00:03:08,090 --> 00:03:10,782
- How long is she gonna be here?
- I don't know.
100
00:03:10,783 --> 00:03:12,925
Apparently, it's left
to the Bar's discretion.
101
00:03:12,926 --> 00:03:14,016
Bullshit!
102
00:03:14,017 --> 00:03:15,931
There's no way I'm letting the Bar
103
00:03:15,932 --> 00:03:18,887
move someone into my house
and tell me how to run it.
104
00:03:18,888 --> 00:03:20,961
- What?
- You know what.
105
00:03:20,962 --> 00:03:22,396
This never would've
happened if you just...
106
00:03:22,397 --> 00:03:23,428
Don't even say it.
107
00:03:23,429 --> 00:03:25,392
- You don't even know what I was going to say.
- I can take a guess.
108
00:03:25,393 --> 00:03:27,867
You were gonna say this all
happened because of what Robert did.
109
00:03:27,868 --> 00:03:30,571
It happened because of
your collective choices.
110
00:03:30,572 --> 00:03:32,238
This is a private meeting, Faye.
111
00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:34,179
Well, it's also the perfect opportunity
112
00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:36,976
for me to introduce myself
to the firm's leadership...
113
00:03:36,977 --> 00:03:38,378
such as it is.
114
00:03:38,379 --> 00:03:40,608
- Such as it is?
- Ms. Paulsen,
115
00:03:40,609 --> 00:03:43,250
when a firm's out of control,
that starts at the top.
116
00:03:43,251 --> 00:03:45,263
And if you think you
can waltz right in here
117
00:03:45,264 --> 00:03:47,109
and start throwing around accusations...
118
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:49,045
Then how about we
throw around some facts?
119
00:03:49,046 --> 00:03:50,680
You've had two managing partners
120
00:03:50,681 --> 00:03:52,281
disbarred in as many years,
121
00:03:52,282 --> 00:03:53,849
a junior partner go to prison,
122
00:03:53,850 --> 00:03:55,551
and if you think anybody believes
123
00:03:55,552 --> 00:03:57,586
that you weren't a party
to that fraud, think again.
124
00:03:57,587 --> 00:03:59,555
But...
125
00:03:59,556 --> 00:04:01,680
as of today...
126
00:04:01,681 --> 00:04:05,006
I'm wiping the slate clean of
everything you've ever done.
127
00:04:05,007 --> 00:04:06,842
You have no proof we've
ever done anything.
128
00:04:06,843 --> 00:04:08,610
I have experience.
129
00:04:08,611 --> 00:04:11,379
And when there's this much
smoke, there's always fire.
130
00:04:11,380 --> 00:04:12,748
So if you want me gone,
131
00:04:12,749 --> 00:04:14,483
there's only one way
to make that happen:
132
00:04:14,484 --> 00:04:17,119
convince me you people can
be trusted to fly right.
133
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,587
And if we don't?
134
00:04:18,588 --> 00:04:22,013
You mean if you continue to cross lines?
135
00:04:22,014 --> 00:04:23,654
Then you'll be fired.
136
00:04:23,655 --> 00:04:25,247
You don't have the authority to do that.
137
00:04:25,248 --> 00:04:26,466
Yes, I do.
138
00:04:26,467 --> 00:04:29,106
As I have the authority
to approve new cases,
139
00:04:29,107 --> 00:04:32,100
allocate resources, and just
about anything else I see fit.
140
00:04:32,101 --> 00:04:33,502
And the first order of business
141
00:04:33,503 --> 00:04:35,036
is doing what you all should have:
142
00:04:35,037 --> 00:04:36,905
taking Robert Zane's name off that wall.
143
00:04:36,906 --> 00:04:38,807
No. That is not happening.
144
00:04:38,808 --> 00:04:40,642
If you think you have
a say in the matter,
145
00:04:40,643 --> 00:04:42,611
you haven't grasped the situation.
146
00:04:42,612 --> 00:04:44,646
If you so much as reach for that name,
147
00:04:44,647 --> 00:04:48,427
you haven't grasped that I
will find something on you.
148
00:04:48,428 --> 00:04:52,398
And that mentality perfectly
underlines why I am here.
149
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:54,888
And leaving that name up
sends the wrong message.
150
00:04:54,889 --> 00:04:56,022
It sends the message
151
00:04:56,023 --> 00:04:58,092
that we don't throw our
friends to the wolves.
152
00:04:58,093 --> 00:05:00,427
You want to throw your
friend a retirement party
153
00:05:00,428 --> 00:05:01,995
or help him launch a
charter boat company
154
00:05:01,996 --> 00:05:04,198
to show your support, be my guest.
155
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:07,667
But that name comes down today.
156
00:05:09,437 --> 00:05:10,938
I don't believe this.
157
00:05:10,939 --> 00:05:12,473
You're just gonna let her do this?
158
00:05:12,474 --> 00:05:13,807
Samantha, it's not our decision.
159
00:05:13,808 --> 00:05:15,576
Well, whether I stay here or not is.
160
00:05:15,577 --> 00:05:17,277
So you can go to hell.
161
00:05:19,747 --> 00:05:22,234
Fortunately, I'm used
to reactions like that.
162
00:05:22,235 --> 00:05:26,384
So as I said to Louis
when he signed off on this,
163
00:05:26,385 --> 00:05:28,743
I suggest you start getting
used to doing things my way,
164
00:05:28,744 --> 00:05:30,679
because this isn't the Wild West.
165
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,180
And your days of operating
166
00:05:32,181 --> 00:05:35,707
however the hell you want are over.

00:06:13,488 --> 00:06:15,046
Don't bother, Harvey. I'm outta here.
169
00:06:15,047 --> 00:06:16,337
This place is not for me.
170
00:06:16,338 --> 00:06:18,963
Samantha, you can't quit. We need you.
171
00:06:18,964 --> 00:06:20,198
Well, she doesn't need me,
172
00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:21,362
and she's the one calling the shots.
173
00:06:21,363 --> 00:06:22,454
And if you think just because
174
00:06:22,455 --> 00:06:23,660
you gave me a client
I'm going to stay here...
175
00:06:23,661 --> 00:06:26,902
Samantha, like it or not, the
world thinks Robert is dirty.
176
00:06:26,903 --> 00:06:28,182
People also think that
177
00:06:28,183 --> 00:06:30,751
the apple doesn't fall far from tree.
178
00:06:30,752 --> 00:06:33,020
So if you leave, it's not
gonna look like a protest.
179
00:06:33,021 --> 00:06:34,821
It'll look like what
they all think is true.
180
00:06:37,559 --> 00:06:39,827
I just don't have it in me
to roll over to her, Harvey.
181
00:06:39,828 --> 00:06:41,252
I'm not asking you to roll over.
182
00:06:41,253 --> 00:06:42,636
I'm asking you to wait this thing out.
183
00:06:42,637 --> 00:06:43,737
Because the second she leaves,
184
00:06:43,738 --> 00:06:46,340
we're gonna put his name
right back on that wall.
185
00:06:46,341 --> 00:06:47,398
And what about the fact
186
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:49,510
she gets approval over all new cases?
187
00:06:49,511 --> 00:06:51,471
Because I met with an
old friend this morning.
188
00:06:51,472 --> 00:06:55,360
He can't afford us, and there
is no way I'm not helping him.
189
00:06:55,361 --> 00:06:57,796
Then as far as I'm concerned,
you met with him last night,
190
00:06:57,797 --> 00:06:59,431
which means it's not a new case.
191
00:06:59,432 --> 00:07:01,732
She has a problem with that,
she can take it up with me.
192
00:07:05,191 --> 00:07:07,359
- Louis, we need to talk.
- What is it?
193
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,395
You didn't mention that you
signed off on this whole thing.
194
00:07:09,396 --> 00:07:10,929
What difference does it
make? I didn't have a choice.
195
00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:12,880
Yes, you did. You could've used her
196
00:07:12,881 --> 00:07:14,444
to convince Harvey to
take that name down.
197
00:07:14,445 --> 00:07:15,579
Which, thanks to you,
is happening anyway.
198
00:07:15,580 --> 00:07:17,582
- Thanks to me?
- I don't see anybody else in this room.
199
00:07:17,583 --> 00:07:19,774
You weren't there last night, Alex.
200
00:07:19,775 --> 00:07:22,018
If I had refused, they would've
suspended everybody's license
201
00:07:22,019 --> 00:07:23,576
for six months right then and there.
202
00:07:23,577 --> 00:07:25,088
So do you want to keep
fighting with each other,
203
00:07:25,089 --> 00:07:26,222
or do you want to start fighting her?
204
00:07:26,223 --> 00:07:27,991
There is no fighting her.
205
00:07:27,992 --> 00:07:29,663
Gretchen, please, this
doesn't involve you.
206
00:07:29,664 --> 00:07:30,961
Well, maybe it should.
207
00:07:30,962 --> 00:07:33,247
Since I'm the only one
who knows Faye Richardson.
208
00:07:33,248 --> 00:07:35,816
- You know her?
- Worked in her firm years ago.
209
00:07:35,817 --> 00:07:39,020
Back before she became
the Bar's special asshole.
210
00:07:39,021 --> 00:07:41,522
Word was when she was managing partner,
211
00:07:41,523 --> 00:07:44,625
she found out her husband
crossed some kind of line.
212
00:07:44,626 --> 00:07:47,528
She stripped his name off
the wall and fired him.
213
00:07:47,529 --> 00:07:48,930
Damn.
214
00:07:48,931 --> 00:07:50,755
A woman who could do
that to her own husband
215
00:07:50,756 --> 00:07:51,957
isn't going to care what we do to her.
216
00:07:51,958 --> 00:07:54,526
But she'll care what the Bar does.
217
00:07:54,527 --> 00:07:56,695
You got something?
218
00:07:56,696 --> 00:07:58,630
I might.
219
00:07:58,631 --> 00:08:01,136
And just how long is this
woman going to be here?
220
00:08:01,137 --> 00:08:05,637
Well, according to her, as
long as she deems it necessary.
221
00:08:05,638 --> 00:08:07,706
What is it, Katrina?
222
00:08:07,707 --> 00:08:09,274
This is exactly why
223
00:08:09,275 --> 00:08:11,191
I went to Alex to take
Robert's name down.
224
00:08:11,192 --> 00:08:13,078
Something like this was bound to happen.
225
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:15,087
Well, I can understand
how you feel that way,
226
00:08:15,088 --> 00:08:17,056
but at the time, standing by Robert
227
00:08:17,057 --> 00:08:19,024
felt like the right thing to do.
228
00:08:19,711 --> 00:08:23,036
- Am I interrupting?
- I was actually heading out.
229
00:08:23,037 --> 00:08:24,846
- Katrina Bennett.
- Faye Richardson.
230
00:08:24,847 --> 00:08:27,014
Pleasure to meet you.
231
00:08:28,861 --> 00:08:31,323
Ms. Richardson. Is
there something you need?
232
00:08:31,324 --> 00:08:32,397
Please, call me Faye.
233
00:08:32,398 --> 00:08:34,232
I may be here as a special master,
234
00:08:34,233 --> 00:08:36,698
but it doesn't mean we can't
be on a first name basis.
235
00:08:36,699 --> 00:08:38,967
Well, is there something
that I can do for you, Faye?
236
00:08:38,968 --> 00:08:40,312
I understand as COO
237
00:08:40,313 --> 00:08:43,067
you handle administrative coordination?
238
00:08:43,068 --> 00:08:44,158
That's right.
239
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:45,561
Are you looking to
get a secretary, or...
240
00:08:45,562 --> 00:08:47,037
I'm looking to schedule
an exit interview
241
00:08:47,038 --> 00:08:48,562
with Thomas Kessler.
242
00:08:48,563 --> 00:08:50,823
And why would you want
to meet with Mr. Kessler?
243
00:08:50,824 --> 00:08:54,293
Because this firm's
troubles started when it put
244
00:08:54,294 --> 00:08:56,362
Mr. Kessler's interests
above another client's.
245
00:08:56,363 --> 00:08:58,998
I don't understand why
someone they did that for
246
00:08:58,999 --> 00:09:00,666
would suddenly leave.
247
00:09:00,667 --> 00:09:02,034
And you think his reasons
248
00:09:02,035 --> 00:09:04,103
might indicate an underlying problem?
249
00:09:04,104 --> 00:09:05,905
Do you think there's
an underlying problem?
250
00:09:05,906 --> 00:09:07,507
I get the feeling you're really asking
251
00:09:07,508 --> 00:09:10,476
whether I'd tell you
if I thought there was.
252
00:09:10,477 --> 00:09:12,778
And what if I were?
253
00:09:12,779 --> 00:09:15,758
Faye, if you know anything
about me, you'd know that
254
00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:19,317
I have a reputation for solving
problems, not hiding them.
255
00:09:20,153 --> 00:09:23,078
Which is why I already sent
Mr. Kessler our exit survey,
256
00:09:23,079 --> 00:09:25,637
so when I get his responses,
I will forward them to you.
257
00:09:25,638 --> 00:09:26,662
Oh, please do.
258
00:09:26,663 --> 00:09:30,385
In the meantime, I'd appreciate
you setting up that interview.
259
00:09:30,386 --> 00:09:32,154
- I just explained...
- I know.
260
00:09:32,155 --> 00:09:35,891
I just find face-to-face
meetings much more informative,
261
00:09:35,892 --> 00:09:37,826
don't you?
262
00:09:37,827 --> 00:09:40,462
I certainly do.
263
00:09:40,463 --> 00:09:42,766
- I'll set that up.
- Wonderful.
264
00:09:42,767 --> 00:09:44,422
Anytime tomorrow should be fine.
265
00:09:49,295 --> 00:09:52,460
- Harvey, we need to talk.
- We sure do.
266
00:09:52,461 --> 00:09:54,095
And I'm sorry, Donna.
I know you're gonna
267
00:09:54,096 --> 00:09:56,030
- disagree with me, but...
- That woman needs to go.
268
00:09:56,031 --> 00:09:57,208
- Now.
- What?
269
00:09:57,209 --> 00:09:58,266
What do you mean, what?
270
00:09:58,267 --> 00:10:00,135
- That's what I was gonna say.
- So?
271
00:10:00,136 --> 00:10:01,920
So you're not gonna try
and talk me out of it.
272
00:10:01,921 --> 00:10:03,560
That's so unlike you.
273
00:10:03,561 --> 00:10:06,296
Hmm. That is unlike me.
274
00:10:06,297 --> 00:10:08,165
Maybe you're not going to
try and talk me out of it
275
00:10:08,166 --> 00:10:09,900
because you're less
uptight since we, uh...
276
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,269
Since we... what?
277
00:10:12,270 --> 00:10:14,418
Nothing. Since we nothing.
278
00:10:14,419 --> 00:10:15,476
That's right.
279
00:10:15,477 --> 00:10:17,080
Because if anybody was
uptight, it was you.
280
00:10:17,081 --> 00:10:18,615
But I'm the one acting consistently.
281
00:10:18,616 --> 00:10:19,984
Okay, maybe I was uptight.
282
00:10:19,985 --> 00:10:22,352
Or maybe I've had it
with Faye's bullshit.
283
00:10:22,353 --> 00:10:23,868
I prefer my own take here.
284
00:10:23,869 --> 00:10:25,743
Well, I prefer that
Faye not find out that
285
00:10:25,744 --> 00:10:28,231
it wasn't Robert who
broke privilege; it was us.
286
00:10:28,232 --> 00:10:29,423
Wait, what are you talking about?
287
00:10:29,424 --> 00:10:32,035
She just asked me to schedule
an exit interview with Thomas.
288
00:10:32,036 --> 00:10:33,370
Donna, we can't let that happen.
289
00:10:33,371 --> 00:10:35,505
- Thomas won't lie for us again.
- I know!
290
00:10:35,506 --> 00:10:37,274
So the question is, how do we stop it?
291
00:10:39,143 --> 00:10:41,011
Well, if we can't ask
Thomas to lie again,
292
00:10:41,012 --> 00:10:42,813
there's only one way out.
293
00:10:42,814 --> 00:10:45,815
Make it so he doesn't
have to talk to her at all.
294
00:10:48,653 --> 00:10:51,588
Sorry to keep you waiting, Ms. Wheeler.
295
00:10:51,589 --> 00:10:54,156
- Now, what's this about?
- Let's see.
296
00:10:54,157 --> 00:10:58,395
How about nepotism and
wrongful termination?
297
00:10:58,396 --> 00:11:01,504
You're here about Lucas Hodges.
298
00:11:01,505 --> 00:11:02,642
That was fast.
299
00:11:02,643 --> 00:11:05,217
Well, he's the only person
we've let go recently
300
00:11:05,218 --> 00:11:07,848
and we were perfectly
justified in our decision.
301
00:11:07,849 --> 00:11:09,749
Why don't we let a judge decide that?
302
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:12,152
You might want to get
your facts straight first.
303
00:11:12,153 --> 00:11:14,488
The facts are you needed
to cut someone loose
304
00:11:14,489 --> 00:11:16,323
and you chose to keep your son-in-law
305
00:11:16,324 --> 00:11:17,827
over a more qualified employee
306
00:11:17,828 --> 00:11:19,458
who happens to be a two-tour veteran.
307
00:11:19,459 --> 00:11:21,467
- I know what he is.
- Then you should know
308
00:11:21,468 --> 00:11:22,758
if you don't reinstate him,
309
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:24,049
I'm gonna wrap Lucas up in a flag,
310
00:11:24,050 --> 00:11:25,885
put him in front of a
jury, and then we'll see
311
00:11:25,886 --> 00:11:28,268
exactly how many government
contracts you get.
312
00:11:28,269 --> 00:11:30,070
Then we'll wrap you in time cards
313
00:11:30,071 --> 00:11:32,385
and the medical bills we footed
314
00:11:32,386 --> 00:11:34,253
for an employee that Lucas injured.
315
00:11:34,254 --> 00:11:36,255
- What?
- Lucas was...
316
00:11:36,256 --> 00:11:38,457
far from perfect, Ms. Wheeler.
317
00:11:38,458 --> 00:11:41,961
He missed work at crunch time.
He didn't always even call in.
318
00:11:41,962 --> 00:11:43,496
Says the man trying to
get out of a lawsuit.
319
00:11:43,497 --> 00:11:46,712
You don't have a lawsuit
because we had cause.
320
00:11:46,713 --> 00:11:48,080
And if you don't believe me,
321
00:11:48,081 --> 00:11:49,581
ask my secretary for his records.
322
00:11:49,582 --> 00:11:51,383
They'll show that he was erratic;
323
00:11:51,384 --> 00:11:53,419
he was impossible to work with.
324
00:11:53,420 --> 00:11:55,558
For God's sakes, one
day someone startled him,
325
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:56,879
he practically attacked the man.
326
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,581
And if that's true,
327
00:11:58,582 --> 00:12:00,382
why didn't you bring this
up when you let him go?
328
00:12:00,383 --> 00:12:03,252
Because I like Lucas, so we said
329
00:12:03,253 --> 00:12:05,588
it was because of that contract
to give him a soft landing.
330
00:12:05,589 --> 00:12:08,390
But the truth is, we were
gonna fire him no matter what.
331
00:12:08,391 --> 00:12:11,727
So I'm sorry that he lied to you,
332
00:12:11,728 --> 00:12:14,296
but the suit has no merit.
333
00:12:14,297 --> 00:12:17,266
You can show yourself out.
334
00:12:27,848 --> 00:12:28,973
Louis, if you're here
335
00:12:28,974 --> 00:12:31,410
about changing our default
font back to Helvetica,
336
00:12:31,411 --> 00:12:32,638
I already told you...
337
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:33,913
I'm not here about that, Benjamin.
338
00:12:33,914 --> 00:12:36,148
I'm here because of Faye Richardson.
339
00:12:36,149 --> 00:12:37,750
I just set up her firewall this morning.
340
00:12:37,751 --> 00:12:39,385
- What about her?
- She's an intruder.
341
00:12:39,386 --> 00:12:42,455
And she just fired a shot
across our beloved bow.
342
00:12:42,456 --> 00:12:44,490
- Give me an order, Captain.
- It's Admiral.
343
00:12:44,491 --> 00:12:46,692
And I want you to find a
loophole in the Bar's bylaws
344
00:12:46,693 --> 00:12:48,828
that I can use to force
them to remove her.
345
00:12:48,829 --> 00:12:51,415
But the Bar's bylaws are,
like, 1,000 pages long.
346
00:12:51,416 --> 00:12:52,789
3,000.
347
00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:54,274
And somewhere in there is a technicality
348
00:12:54,275 --> 00:12:55,442
that'll get rid of that woman,
349
00:12:55,443 --> 00:12:57,455
and you're going to build
a program to find it.
350
00:12:57,456 --> 00:12:59,793
Louis, I don't know if I can do that.
351
00:12:59,794 --> 00:13:01,325
Benjamin...
352
00:13:01,326 --> 00:13:03,928
our home is under attack,
and I can't defend it alone.
353
00:13:03,929 --> 00:13:05,830
I need you to do this, and
I need you to do it quietly.
354
00:13:05,831 --> 00:13:07,965
Now, can I count on you or not, sailor?
355
00:13:07,966 --> 00:13:09,567
- Aye-aye, Captain.
- It's Admiral.
356
00:13:09,568 --> 00:13:10,968
- Admiral, whatever.
- That's right.
357
00:13:14,549 --> 00:13:17,174
I can't believe they're using
those days I missed against me.
358
00:13:17,175 --> 00:13:19,109
They're using them because
they constitute cause.
359
00:13:19,110 --> 00:13:20,611
The question is, why didn't you tell me?
360
00:13:20,612 --> 00:13:22,179
It was a couple days here and there.
361
00:13:22,180 --> 00:13:24,248
Lucas, I never saw you
be late to one exercise,
362
00:13:24,249 --> 00:13:26,083
- one training session...
- So what?
363
00:13:26,084 --> 00:13:28,770
So you know what. The
absences, the aggression...
364
00:13:28,771 --> 00:13:30,427
all worse during high-stress periods.
365
00:13:30,428 --> 00:13:32,462
- Samantha.
- You have PTSD, don't you?
366
00:13:32,463 --> 00:13:34,487
No, I do not.
367
00:13:34,488 --> 00:13:36,870
Check my medical records.
There's nothing in them.
368
00:13:36,871 --> 00:13:38,228
Because you never saw a doctor?
369
00:13:38,229 --> 00:13:40,407
- Of course I saw a doctor.
- And why was that?
370
00:13:40,408 --> 00:13:42,008
Because I had trouble sleeping.
371
00:13:42,009 --> 00:13:43,967
Because of nightmares, flashbacks?
372
00:13:43,968 --> 00:13:45,037
I don't wanna talk about this.
373
00:13:45,038 --> 00:13:46,597
Well, we're gonna talk about it
374
00:13:46,598 --> 00:13:48,022
because I can't defend you
375
00:13:48,023 --> 00:13:49,419
if you're not being honest with me.
376
00:13:49,420 --> 00:13:51,278
Honest about what?
377
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:53,316
About how there are nights
I'm afraid to close my eyes
378
00:13:53,317 --> 00:13:56,085
and days I never get out of bed?
379
00:13:57,511 --> 00:13:59,468
Listen to me.
380
00:13:59,469 --> 00:14:03,128
You have nothing to be ashamed of.
381
00:14:03,129 --> 00:14:04,919
There are literally thousands of people
382
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,584
going through the exact same thing
383
00:14:06,585 --> 00:14:08,019
and once we get you diagnosed, we can...
384
00:14:08,020 --> 00:14:09,554
I'm not getting diagnosed.
385
00:14:09,555 --> 00:14:11,155
- Lucas, it'll protect you.
- Samantha, I told them
386
00:14:11,156 --> 00:14:12,581
I didn't want to be diagnosed back then.
387
00:14:12,582 --> 00:14:14,006
I'm not getting reclassified now.
388
00:14:14,007 --> 00:14:15,097
That's the end of it.
389
00:14:15,098 --> 00:14:17,523
Wait a minute, you told them?
You told your psychiatrist?
390
00:14:17,524 --> 00:14:18,580
I didn't go to a psychiatrist.
391
00:14:18,581 --> 00:14:19,892
I went to an MD.
392
00:14:19,893 --> 00:14:21,771
I begged him not to put it in my record.
393
00:14:21,772 --> 00:14:24,297
He put it down as
anxiety and gave me pills.
394
00:14:24,298 --> 00:14:25,830
And they kept me going through my tour.
395
00:14:25,831 --> 00:14:26,887
And once you got out?
396
00:14:26,888 --> 00:14:29,045
I thought it would get better.
397
00:14:29,046 --> 00:14:31,838
- But it didn't.
- No.
398
00:14:31,839 --> 00:14:34,697
- It got worse.
- Well...
399
00:14:34,698 --> 00:14:38,166
if your employer won't pay,
maybe someone else will.
400
00:14:42,992 --> 00:14:44,282
Harvey.
401
00:14:44,283 --> 00:14:46,351
Thomas, do you mind if I come in?
402
00:14:46,352 --> 00:14:48,309
I really don't think we
have much to talk about.
403
00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:50,178
Well, unfortunately, we do.
404
00:14:50,179 --> 00:14:54,716
Because as a result of that hearing,
405
00:14:54,717 --> 00:14:57,752
the Bar installed someone
to watch every move we make.
406
00:14:57,753 --> 00:15:00,855
And now she wants to ask
you why you're leaving.
407
00:15:00,856 --> 00:15:02,680
And you know I'm not gonna lie again.
408
00:15:02,681 --> 00:15:05,683
Which is why I'm here
to ask you not to leave.
409
00:15:05,684 --> 00:15:07,284
You've gotta be joking.
410
00:15:07,285 --> 00:15:09,453
Just hear me out, please.
411
00:15:09,454 --> 00:15:10,984
You've been with us a long time.
412
00:15:10,985 --> 00:15:13,877
And in that time we've
tripled your business,
413
00:15:13,878 --> 00:15:15,002
we've taken you public...
414
00:15:15,003 --> 00:15:16,289
And completely betrayed my trust.
415
00:15:16,290 --> 00:15:17,347
No.
416
00:15:17,348 --> 00:15:19,672
I betrayed my own client for you.
417
00:15:19,673 --> 00:15:23,732
I lost my friend and my partner for you.
418
00:15:23,733 --> 00:15:28,093
And if I'd done the
technically right thing,
419
00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:29,603
you'd have lost your expansion.
420
00:15:29,604 --> 00:15:32,005
Now, I'm not saying we
didn't make mistakes,
421
00:15:32,006 --> 00:15:34,908
and I know I need to
earn back your trust.
422
00:15:34,909 --> 00:15:38,679
I'm just asking you to
give us a chance to do that.
423
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,113
Let me ask you this.
424
00:15:44,986 --> 00:15:46,686
Who is Donna to you?
425
00:15:48,967 --> 00:15:52,592
She's the most important
person in my life, Thomas.
426
00:15:52,593 --> 00:15:54,493
And she knows it.
427
00:15:57,553 --> 00:15:59,711
When?
428
00:15:59,712 --> 00:16:01,278
The night I was cleared.
429
00:16:02,773 --> 00:16:04,273
Okay.
430
00:16:05,740 --> 00:16:07,607
Okay.
431
00:16:07,608 --> 00:16:11,510
I'll stay with your
firm on one condition.
432
00:16:12,704 --> 00:16:14,671
From now on you're my lawyer, not Alex.
433
00:16:14,672 --> 00:16:16,540
Thomas, I'm not sure
that's the best idea.
434
00:16:16,541 --> 00:16:17,908
Well, it's the only one
that's gonna work for me
435
00:16:17,909 --> 00:16:20,210
because I don't trust him anymore.
436
00:16:20,211 --> 00:16:21,278
And you were just honest with me
437
00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:24,381
about the most difficult
question I'll ever ask.
438
00:16:24,382 --> 00:16:27,151
And you didn't flinch.
439
00:16:27,152 --> 00:16:30,120
Okay... but now that
you know the truth...
440
00:16:30,121 --> 00:16:32,055
I can get past all that.
441
00:16:32,056 --> 00:16:34,391
Are you sure?
442
00:16:34,392 --> 00:16:36,426
Yeah, I'm sure.
443
00:16:50,922 --> 00:16:53,046
Samantha, there you are.
444
00:16:53,047 --> 00:16:54,816
Whatever it is, the answer is no.
445
00:16:54,817 --> 00:16:56,074
Well, that's too bad,
446
00:16:56,075 --> 00:16:58,335
because I just heard
you assigned an associate
447
00:16:58,336 --> 00:17:01,022
to subpoena military
records for a new case.
448
00:17:01,023 --> 00:17:05,249
- So what if I did?
- So... I want you to drop it.
449
00:17:05,250 --> 00:17:07,514
- Excuse me?
- As I mentioned this morning,
450
00:17:07,515 --> 00:17:09,482
I have approval over all new matters,
451
00:17:09,483 --> 00:17:10,917
and this one has red flags all over it.
452
00:17:10,918 --> 00:17:12,519
Well, I don't see any red flags,
453
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,809
and I'm not hanging
my friend out to dry.
454
00:17:13,810 --> 00:17:16,590
The fact that he's a
friend is the red flag,
455
00:17:16,591 --> 00:17:18,425
because if you start to lose,
456
00:17:18,426 --> 00:17:20,026
you may not fight the right way.
457
00:17:20,027 --> 00:17:21,628
That's the dumbest
thing I've ever heard.
458
00:17:21,629 --> 00:17:23,575
But it doesn't matter,
because this case isn't new.
459
00:17:23,576 --> 00:17:25,254
I took it last night.
460
00:17:25,255 --> 00:17:27,980
You don't think I know a
cover story when I hear one?
461
00:17:27,981 --> 00:17:29,615
I don't care what you think you know.
462
00:17:29,616 --> 00:17:31,550
I told Harvey about
the case when I took it,
463
00:17:31,551 --> 00:17:33,386
which means, according
to your own rules,
464
00:17:33,387 --> 00:17:36,155
you don't get a say as to
whether I drop this or not.
465
00:17:36,156 --> 00:17:38,862
Well, I do get a say in
the use of firm resources,
466
00:17:38,863 --> 00:17:41,255
in particular on the
cases that pay us nothing.
467
00:17:41,256 --> 00:17:42,790
So if you pursue this,
468
00:17:42,791 --> 00:17:44,291
you do this without
your expense account,
469
00:17:44,292 --> 00:17:46,160
our associates, and anything else.
470
00:17:46,161 --> 00:17:50,164
And if I find out otherwise,
I'll drop the client myself.
471
00:17:55,570 --> 00:17:56,804
Let me get this straight.
472
00:17:56,805 --> 00:17:59,351
You want my help to
go after the military?
473
00:17:59,352 --> 00:18:02,044
Yes, but first I need access
to your expense account.
474
00:18:02,045 --> 00:18:03,171
Why?
475
00:18:03,172 --> 00:18:04,673
Because if I'm gonna get them to settle,
476
00:18:04,674 --> 00:18:06,429
I need to hire PIs, expert witnesses...
477
00:18:06,430 --> 00:18:08,121
No, I mean why do you need my account?
478
00:18:08,122 --> 00:18:11,915
Because Faye banned me
from using firm resources.
479
00:18:11,916 --> 00:18:14,522
So you don't just want my help,
480
00:18:14,523 --> 00:18:16,714
you want me to defy a direct order?
481
00:18:16,715 --> 00:18:18,039
If we do it right, she'll never know.
482
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,557
Samantha, it's the military.
483
00:18:19,558 --> 00:18:21,915
There's no way they'll ever
give in before Faye finds out.
484
00:18:21,916 --> 00:18:23,884
Fine, I will use my
own money for expenses,
485
00:18:23,885 --> 00:18:25,652
but I can't do it all on my own.
486
00:18:25,653 --> 00:18:27,572
I'm working without an
associate myself right now.
487
00:18:27,573 --> 00:18:30,159
Katrina, it's not easy
for me to ask for this.
488
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,829
And it's not easy for me to say no.
489
00:18:32,830 --> 00:18:34,796
Don't you get it? I cannot let him down.
490
00:18:38,335 --> 00:18:41,437
Lucas and I didn't just train together.
491
00:18:41,438 --> 00:18:44,240
We served together.
492
00:18:44,241 --> 00:18:49,078
And after my four years, he
asked me to stay, but I didn't.
493
00:18:49,079 --> 00:18:52,515
I got out. He did two more tours.
494
00:18:52,516 --> 00:18:55,084
And in his head, he is still there
495
00:18:55,085 --> 00:19:00,857
while I wear $2,000 dresses and
negotiate million dollar deals.
496
00:19:00,858 --> 00:19:04,227
All right. I'll help you.
497
00:19:04,228 --> 00:19:06,585
On two conditions:
498
00:19:06,586 --> 00:19:09,211
we do it on the up-and-up,
499
00:19:09,212 --> 00:19:11,283
and we pick a fight we can win.
500
00:19:18,225 --> 00:19:19,590
I know things are rough, Harvey,
501
00:19:19,591 --> 00:19:21,716
but shots for breakfast with my Scotch?
502
00:19:21,717 --> 00:19:23,574
One of them is for you.
503
00:19:23,575 --> 00:19:26,388
And they're not because of
bad news, but because of good.
504
00:19:26,389 --> 00:19:27,609
Then lay it on me.
505
00:19:27,610 --> 00:19:29,558
Because it is past time
I heard something good.
506
00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:31,393
I got Kessler to stay.
507
00:19:31,394 --> 00:19:33,757
He's gonna come in today and
sign a new engagement letter.
508
00:19:33,758 --> 00:19:35,711
No shit. That is good.
509
00:19:35,712 --> 00:19:37,045
I'll call him right now,
set up a meeting.
510
00:19:37,046 --> 00:19:38,347
That's the thing, Alex.
511
00:19:38,348 --> 00:19:40,782
He wants me to represent him.
512
00:19:40,783 --> 00:19:42,517
- You?
- Yes.
513
00:19:42,518 --> 00:19:45,663
And before you say it, I
was surprised as anyone.
514
00:19:45,664 --> 00:19:48,155
Harvey, surprised is what
you feel when you come home
515
00:19:48,156 --> 00:19:49,726
and your friends are
there for your birthday,
516
00:19:49,727 --> 00:19:51,594
not when you find out your
partner's taking your client.
517
00:19:51,595 --> 00:19:54,025
Look, I know it's not ideal,
but what do you want me to say?
518
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:55,693
This is his condition for staying.
519
00:19:55,694 --> 00:19:57,094
I don't want you to say anything,
520
00:19:57,095 --> 00:19:58,329
but I also don't want
you to come in here
521
00:19:58,330 --> 00:19:59,730
and try to tell me
this is a celebration.
522
00:19:59,731 --> 00:20:00,764
You're right.
523
00:20:00,765 --> 00:20:02,123
It's not a celebration.
524
00:20:02,124 --> 00:20:03,868
But Faye wanted to ask him why he left,
525
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:05,736
and we can't have that.
526
00:20:09,808 --> 00:20:11,522
Ms. Bennett...
527
00:20:11,523 --> 00:20:15,834
I'm not one for small
talk, so I'll jump right in.
528
00:20:15,835 --> 00:20:18,979
I saw you added yourself
as attorney of record
529
00:20:18,980 --> 00:20:21,573
- on Ms. Wheeler's case.
- I did.
530
00:20:21,574 --> 00:20:23,032
And did she inform you
531
00:20:23,033 --> 00:20:27,143
that I specifically forbade
her from using firm resources?
532
00:20:27,144 --> 00:20:28,480
Yes, she did.
533
00:20:28,481 --> 00:20:31,305
Which is why I worked on my own time,
534
00:20:31,306 --> 00:20:34,557
and I won't be attending a
deposition scheduled for today.
535
00:20:34,558 --> 00:20:35,939
I respect that.
536
00:20:35,940 --> 00:20:38,813
It shows a willingness
to work within the rules.
537
00:20:38,814 --> 00:20:40,543
But I'd like to explain why
538
00:20:40,544 --> 00:20:42,553
I didn't want her to take that case.
539
00:20:42,554 --> 00:20:45,615
Because she's emotionally invested.
540
00:20:45,616 --> 00:20:47,117
And you're worried she'll be tempted
541
00:20:47,118 --> 00:20:48,952
to do something that she shouldn't.
542
00:20:48,953 --> 00:20:51,788
And if you understand that,
I'm sure you'll understand
543
00:20:51,789 --> 00:20:53,906
if you really want to help Ms. Wheeler,
544
00:20:53,907 --> 00:20:57,127
you'll help her avoid doing just that.
545
00:21:01,711 --> 00:21:03,635
How did Alex take it?
546
00:21:03,636 --> 00:21:06,060
He didn't love it,
but he'll live with it.
547
00:21:06,061 --> 00:21:09,030
So... Thomas is coming here today?
548
00:21:09,031 --> 00:21:11,199
Because Faye's gonna be
asking about that interview,
549
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,501
and we need him to have
signed that engagement letter.
550
00:21:13,502 --> 00:21:14,836
Donna, he gave me his word.
551
00:21:14,837 --> 00:21:18,973
Great, then that means
that he'll be here.
552
00:21:18,974 --> 00:21:20,909
What's going on?
553
00:21:20,910 --> 00:21:24,179
Are you sure this is the best idea?
554
00:21:24,180 --> 00:21:25,914
You representing him?
555
00:21:25,915 --> 00:21:28,291
I mean, what happens the first
time he doesn't like something
556
00:21:28,292 --> 00:21:30,727
that you've done, or you think
that he's being short-sighted?
557
00:21:30,728 --> 00:21:33,063
How long before one of you
brings up what happened?
558
00:21:33,064 --> 00:21:37,033
Donna... he's a grown
man. It was his idea.
559
00:21:37,034 --> 00:21:39,391
If he thinks he can make it work,
560
00:21:39,392 --> 00:21:41,486
I'm gonna trust him.
561
00:21:41,487 --> 00:21:43,244
How is it that you always
562
00:21:43,245 --> 00:21:45,542
make it feel like
everything's gonna be okay?
563
00:21:45,543 --> 00:21:47,311
Because I'm Superman.
564
00:21:47,312 --> 00:21:48,669
No, you're supposed to say,
565
00:21:48,670 --> 00:21:50,305
"I was just thinking the
same thing about you."
566
00:21:50,306 --> 00:21:52,182
But Superman wouldn't
say something like that.
567
00:21:52,183 --> 00:21:54,017
He'd just expect Lana Lang to get it.
568
00:21:54,018 --> 00:21:55,919
Well, in case you haven't
noticed, I'm not Lana Lang.
569
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,206
I'm Lois Lane.
570
00:21:57,207 --> 00:21:59,790
You have the best of both
because Lana was a redhead.
571
00:21:59,791 --> 00:22:01,124
Is that mushy enough for you?
572
00:22:01,125 --> 00:22:02,859
'Cause I've got to go save Metropolis.
573
00:22:04,963 --> 00:22:06,863
Save Metropolis.
574
00:22:06,864 --> 00:22:09,332
You don't even know
your own phone number.
575
00:22:10,735 --> 00:22:13,102
Okay, people! Listen up.
576
00:22:13,715 --> 00:22:17,499
As you may know a new attorney
has joined us, Faye Richardson.
577
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:20,301
And I would like you
all to give her a very,
578
00:22:20,302 --> 00:22:23,071
very warm welcome, but don't bother her.
579
00:22:23,072 --> 00:22:25,974
Just give her a wide
berth. Any questions?
580
00:22:25,975 --> 00:22:27,246
Yes.
581
00:22:27,247 --> 00:22:30,468
You want us to make her
feel welcome by avoiding her?
582
00:22:30,469 --> 00:22:32,103
Excellent question, Susan.
583
00:22:32,104 --> 00:22:34,172
The answer is yes. Yes, I do.
584
00:22:34,173 --> 00:22:36,708
Um, why?
585
00:22:36,709 --> 00:22:38,610
Another good question, Susan.
586
00:22:38,611 --> 00:22:42,126
Because as your leader,
I know what's best...
587
00:22:42,127 --> 00:22:45,062
and make no mistake, I am your leader.
588
00:22:45,063 --> 00:22:47,731
- Um, okay, but...
- No one likes a talker, Susan.
589
00:22:47,732 --> 00:22:49,748
Any other questions? No?
590
00:22:49,749 --> 00:22:51,802
- Great.
- I have a question.
591
00:22:51,803 --> 00:22:53,170
Why is she here?
592
00:22:53,171 --> 00:22:54,972
Is she heading up a new
division or something?
593
00:22:54,973 --> 00:22:56,140
Sort of.
594
00:22:56,141 --> 00:22:58,609
She's actually an ethics expert.
595
00:22:58,610 --> 00:23:00,611
In light of recent events,
I thought it would be wise
596
00:23:00,612 --> 00:23:03,946
to bring someone in to
buttress the firm's reputation.
597
00:23:04,822 --> 00:23:08,821
Actually, truth is, she
was reluctant to come...
598
00:23:08,822 --> 00:23:11,418
Oh, don't let me interrupt, Louis.
599
00:23:11,419 --> 00:23:14,021
You were saying I was
reluctant to come here.
600
00:23:14,022 --> 00:23:16,557
- Maybe not reluctant...
- But it was your idea.
601
00:23:16,558 --> 00:23:18,359
Isn't that what you said?
602
00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:20,427
And you would never lie to
your associates, would you?
603
00:23:20,428 --> 00:23:23,330
Framing things in
context isn't lying, Faye.
604
00:23:23,331 --> 00:23:26,166
Then let me ask a question
that needs no context.
605
00:23:26,167 --> 00:23:28,702
The Bar's leadership had doubts
606
00:23:28,703 --> 00:23:30,673
about your ability to follow the law,
607
00:23:30,674 --> 00:23:32,506
and that's why I'm here.
608
00:23:32,507 --> 00:23:35,776
Isn't that the case?
609
00:23:35,777 --> 00:23:38,645
Yes.
610
00:23:38,646 --> 00:23:40,414
Thank you for helping me
611
00:23:40,415 --> 00:23:42,616
get off on the right foot
with the associates, Louis.
612
00:23:42,617 --> 00:23:44,685
I appreciate it.
613
00:23:52,810 --> 00:23:55,067
- Alex, not now.
- Yes, now,
614
00:23:55,068 --> 00:23:57,170
because Bromwell just told
me they're being sued again.
615
00:23:57,171 --> 00:23:59,204
- Shit, we just got them off.
- I know that.
616
00:23:59,205 --> 00:24:01,306
And to make matters worse,
we drew Judge Dorsey.
617
00:24:01,307 --> 00:24:03,976
Goddamn it! What?
618
00:24:03,977 --> 00:24:05,508
Louis, do you have a minute?
619
00:24:05,509 --> 00:24:09,030
Because I've hit a snag with
our new... server problem.
620
00:24:09,031 --> 00:24:10,865
Cut the code. Alex is on our side.
621
00:24:10,866 --> 00:24:12,701
In that case, I need a digital copy
622
00:24:12,702 --> 00:24:14,922
of the Bar's bylaws, but
they're password protected.
623
00:24:14,923 --> 00:24:17,191
- Scan the ones I gave you.
- I tried that, but...
624
00:24:17,192 --> 00:24:18,595
Are you shitting me?
625
00:24:18,596 --> 00:24:20,990
You can't even scan a simple
document without screwing up?
626
00:24:20,991 --> 00:24:22,272
It wasn't my fault.
627
00:24:22,273 --> 00:24:24,293
Well, it isn't my fault
that we're in this situation,
628
00:24:24,294 --> 00:24:27,478
but here I am, busting my
ass, getting humiliated.
629
00:24:27,479 --> 00:24:29,380
And the one person that I ask to help me
630
00:24:29,381 --> 00:24:31,637
can't even tie his own goddamn shoes.
631
00:24:31,638 --> 00:24:35,286
So I don't care what it takes,
get that copy and get it today.
632
00:24:35,287 --> 00:24:36,720
- But...
- Benjamin...
633
00:24:36,721 --> 00:24:39,122
give us a few minutes.
634
00:24:40,541 --> 00:24:43,032
Okay, Louis. What's going on?
635
00:24:43,033 --> 00:24:45,301
- You know what's going on.
- Yeah, I do.
636
00:24:45,302 --> 00:24:47,069
Because I bit my own
secretary's head off
637
00:24:47,070 --> 00:24:49,105
three seconds after getting
off the phone with Bromwell.
638
00:24:49,106 --> 00:24:51,197
- Not to mention...
- Not to mention what?
639
00:24:51,198 --> 00:24:53,161
Nothing. It's not important.
640
00:24:53,162 --> 00:24:55,545
What is important is
you and I are going out,
641
00:24:55,546 --> 00:24:56,702
and we're going out right now.
642
00:24:56,703 --> 00:24:57,859
Alex, I don't need to...
643
00:24:57,860 --> 00:24:59,461
Yes, you do, and so do I.
644
00:24:59,462 --> 00:25:00,596
Because if we don't blow off some steam,
645
00:25:00,597 --> 00:25:02,054
one of us is gonna kill someone.
646
00:25:02,055 --> 00:25:03,145
Well, then, what do you suggest?
647
00:25:03,146 --> 00:25:04,447
Because there's no opera today.
648
00:25:04,448 --> 00:25:06,568
I have not gotten my mud
membership card back yet.
649
00:25:06,569 --> 00:25:09,104
And unless there's a cat
fair that I don't know about,
650
00:25:09,105 --> 00:25:11,840
we have got nothing.
651
00:25:11,841 --> 00:25:15,000
I have just the thing.
652
00:25:15,001 --> 00:25:17,846
Mr. Daly, how many of your
employees are veterans?
653
00:25:17,847 --> 00:25:21,031
I'm proud to say
anywhere from 30% to 40%
654
00:25:21,032 --> 00:25:22,437
at any given time.
655
00:25:22,438 --> 00:25:23,724
So it's safe to say
656
00:25:23,725 --> 00:25:25,867
you're familiar with the struggles
many veterans face.
657
00:25:25,868 --> 00:25:28,228
I'm afraid you'll have
to be more specific.
658
00:25:28,229 --> 00:25:29,919
Post traumatic stress disorder.
659
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,480
Is that specific enough?
660
00:25:31,481 --> 00:25:33,974
Yes, I'm familiar,
but what's your point?
661
00:25:33,975 --> 00:25:37,664
My point is, do you think
Lucas Hodges suffers from PTSD?
662
00:25:37,665 --> 00:25:39,333
My client's not a psychiatrist.
663
00:25:39,334 --> 00:25:40,934
He's the one who said
he's familiar with it.
664
00:25:40,935 --> 00:25:42,569
That doesn't necessarily mean...
665
00:25:42,570 --> 00:25:44,505
You had his office furniture rearranged
666
00:25:44,506 --> 00:25:46,807
so his back wouldn't face the door, Tom.
667
00:25:46,808 --> 00:25:48,372
And the only reason you
would do something like that
668
00:25:48,373 --> 00:25:49,777
is if you suspected the truth.
669
00:25:49,778 --> 00:25:52,112
- Suspicion is not knowing.
- Answer the question.
670
00:25:52,113 --> 00:25:55,481
Did you or did you not suspect PTSD?
671
00:26:01,019 --> 00:26:03,768
Are you sure you want me
to answer that question?
672
00:26:03,769 --> 00:26:06,592
Because if you do, I'm
going to say, "Yes, I did."
673
00:26:07,352 --> 00:26:09,342
And then I'm gonna demand proof
674
00:26:09,343 --> 00:26:11,960
that he is a member
of a protected class,
675
00:26:11,961 --> 00:26:13,748
which means an official diagnosis
676
00:26:13,749 --> 00:26:15,983
on his permanent record.
677
00:26:15,984 --> 00:26:19,252
Is that really what your
client wants, Ms. Wheeler?
678
00:26:21,089 --> 00:26:23,157
We didn't think so.
679
00:26:23,158 --> 00:26:24,759
Which is why we're prepared
680
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,994
to offer a sealed settlement of $25,000.
681
00:26:26,995 --> 00:26:28,729
That isn't even a third
682
00:26:28,730 --> 00:26:30,297
of what he was gonna make this year.
683
00:26:30,298 --> 00:26:32,967
That's the best you're gonna get.
684
00:26:32,968 --> 00:26:35,136
Take the deal, and
let everyone walk away,
685
00:26:35,137 --> 00:26:38,272
or he can turn the camera back
on and answer your question.
686
00:26:42,144 --> 00:26:44,612
Our offer stands for 24 hours.
687
00:26:58,505 --> 00:27:00,639
All right, so what, I just
roll this thing down there
688
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,297
and knock over the sticks?
689
00:27:02,298 --> 00:27:04,180
Pins. How have you never bowled before?
690
00:27:04,181 --> 00:27:05,882
Fourth grade,
691
00:27:05,883 --> 00:27:07,984
Joshua Hirshheiser had
a bowling birthday party.
692
00:27:07,985 --> 00:27:11,052
Before we even started, I got
my fingers stuck in the ball.
693
00:27:11,053 --> 00:27:13,088
They called me sausage
fingers till eighth grade.
694
00:27:13,089 --> 00:27:14,355
So what do I do?
695
00:27:14,356 --> 00:27:15,990
I just throw... how do I throw it?
696
00:27:15,991 --> 00:27:17,825
Just walk to the line, release it.
697
00:27:27,036 --> 00:27:29,838
That's okay. Happens to everyone.
698
00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:32,643
Just... try to keep your arm straight.
699
00:27:32,644 --> 00:27:34,044
Oh.
700
00:27:40,603 --> 00:27:41,603
Shit!
701
00:27:43,577 --> 00:27:44,844
Maybe we should try some bumpers.
702
00:27:44,845 --> 00:27:46,545
No! This is so stupid.
703
00:27:46,546 --> 00:27:47,803
If it weren't for the shoes,
704
00:27:47,804 --> 00:27:49,285
nobody would play this
ridiculous game at all.
705
00:27:49,286 --> 00:27:51,753
Okay, let's try granny style.
706
00:27:52,819 --> 00:27:54,320
Oh. Okay, yeah.
707
00:27:54,321 --> 00:27:56,087
No problem.
708
00:28:02,448 --> 00:28:03,705
Goddamn it!
709
00:28:03,706 --> 00:28:04,973
This is worse than when I lost
710
00:28:04,974 --> 00:28:06,339
the junior wrestling championship!
711
00:28:06,340 --> 00:28:07,463
- You wrestled?
- I don't know if
712
00:28:07,464 --> 00:28:09,228
you know this about me, Alex,
but I have a lot of rage.
713
00:28:09,229 --> 00:28:12,287
Wait a second. Rage. That's it.
714
00:28:12,288 --> 00:28:15,150
Louis, I want you to imagine Faye's face
715
00:28:15,151 --> 00:28:16,785
on all those pins.
716
00:28:16,786 --> 00:28:19,587
Imagine she's taking your
firm and laughing at you.
717
00:28:21,809 --> 00:28:23,530
Of course I'm taking your firm, Louis.
718
00:28:23,531 --> 00:28:25,565
Because you're weak and ineffectual,
719
00:28:25,566 --> 00:28:27,200
and you don't deserve it.
720
00:28:27,201 --> 00:28:28,969
Because you're nothing.
721
00:28:28,970 --> 00:28:31,705
You're a sausage-fingered failure!
722
00:29:04,012 --> 00:29:05,913
Excuse me, miss,
723
00:29:05,914 --> 00:29:07,414
I'm here to sign an engagement letter.
724
00:29:07,415 --> 00:29:08,572
Perhaps you could help me?
725
00:29:08,573 --> 00:29:10,641
Thomas! Right on time.
726
00:29:10,642 --> 00:29:12,253
What can I say? I'm
nothing if not punctual.
727
00:29:12,254 --> 00:29:13,644
Well, Louis always did say
728
00:29:13,645 --> 00:29:15,089
that it was one of your
many stellar qualities.
729
00:29:15,090 --> 00:29:17,458
Oh, really? And what were
some of my others?
730
00:29:17,459 --> 00:29:18,926
Loyalty.
731
00:29:18,927 --> 00:29:20,494
Integrity. Height.
732
00:29:20,495 --> 00:29:21,624
Height?
733
00:29:21,625 --> 00:29:23,882
What can I say? Louis
prizes what he doesn't have
734
00:29:23,883 --> 00:29:25,851
and the fact that you've
got that full head of hair?
735
00:29:25,852 --> 00:29:27,785
That makes you practically a god.
736
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,167
Well, as much as I could talk
737
00:29:32,168 --> 00:29:34,003
about my stellar
qualities all day, um...
738
00:29:34,004 --> 00:29:35,170
If we do that,
739
00:29:35,171 --> 00:29:37,406
then this engagement
letter won't sign itself.
740
00:29:37,407 --> 00:29:40,074
No, it won't.
741
00:29:40,488 --> 00:29:42,979
Well, all you have to do is sign it,
742
00:29:42,980 --> 00:29:45,549
and I will make sure that
Harvey gets it right away.
743
00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:47,492
Oh, it's okay, Donna. I can drop it off.
744
00:29:47,493 --> 00:29:50,628
He and I have some
business to discuss, anyway.
745
00:29:51,122 --> 00:29:53,390
It was good to see you, Thomas.
746
00:29:53,391 --> 00:29:55,524
It was good to see you too.
747
00:30:01,433 --> 00:30:03,768
I can't believe you
bowled a perfect game!
748
00:30:03,769 --> 00:30:05,403
I can't believe they didn't have rosé.
749
00:30:05,404 --> 00:30:07,238
So I see you went with
piña colada instead.
750
00:30:07,239 --> 00:30:08,606
Never disappoints.
751
00:30:08,607 --> 00:30:11,009
Thanks for bringing me here, Alex.
752
00:30:11,010 --> 00:30:14,468
I haven't felt this relaxed in days.
753
00:30:14,469 --> 00:30:16,838
It's like ever since you got here,
754
00:30:16,839 --> 00:30:18,607
I've been on the outside of my own firm.
755
00:30:18,608 --> 00:30:21,543
Believe it or not, Louis,
I know exactly how you feel.
756
00:30:21,544 --> 00:30:23,812
When I first got to the
firm, I thought Harvey and I
757
00:30:23,813 --> 00:30:26,181
we're going to be like
Stockton and Malone.
758
00:30:26,182 --> 00:30:29,184
But, for whatever reason,
that didn't happen.
759
00:30:29,185 --> 00:30:31,186
Then I thought I was
getting my name on the wall,
760
00:30:31,187 --> 00:30:33,054
and I found myself in a death match
761
00:30:33,055 --> 00:30:34,689
with Samantha instead.
762
00:30:34,690 --> 00:30:37,792
- I was no picnic either.
- Mm-hmm.
763
00:30:37,793 --> 00:30:39,327
No, you were not.
764
00:30:39,328 --> 00:30:40,929
But the thing is,
765
00:30:40,930 --> 00:30:42,731
all that happened,
and I'm still standing.
766
00:30:42,732 --> 00:30:47,002
And, Louis, when this is
done, you'll be standing too.
767
00:30:47,003 --> 00:30:49,604
We'll be standing.
768
00:30:49,605 --> 00:30:51,032
So...
769
00:30:53,488 --> 00:30:55,910
about this wrestling thing.
770
00:30:56,992 --> 00:30:58,349
Not many people know.
771
00:30:58,350 --> 00:31:01,919
When I told Harvey, he got
me a onesie for my birthday.
772
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,689
You ever wear it?
773
00:31:04,690 --> 00:31:06,424
That's not the point.
774
00:31:06,425 --> 00:31:08,192
Well...
775
00:31:08,193 --> 00:31:10,695
since we're talking about
things people don't know...
776
00:31:10,696 --> 00:31:12,063
I tap.
777
00:31:12,064 --> 00:31:13,930
No way.
778
00:31:19,343 --> 00:31:23,355
Holy shit! How? When?
779
00:31:24,405 --> 00:31:26,029
My mom made me take
lessons when I was a kid.
780
00:31:26,030 --> 00:31:29,322
I don't believe it. You
have cats, you dance.
781
00:31:29,323 --> 00:31:30,810
You might be the manliest
man I've ever met.
782
00:31:30,811 --> 00:31:33,745
Well, what do you say we
keep my manliness between us?
783
00:31:33,746 --> 00:31:35,203
Oh, please, say no more.
784
00:31:35,204 --> 00:31:36,636
I've had to downplay my masculinity
785
00:31:36,637 --> 00:31:38,294
in front of Harvey for years.
786
00:31:38,295 --> 00:31:41,263
I'm sure you have,
Louis. I'm sure you have.
787
00:31:43,624 --> 00:31:45,858
- Well?
- Well, what?
788
00:31:45,859 --> 00:31:48,428
- How did it go?
- Shitty.
789
00:31:48,429 --> 00:31:51,230
They offered us $25,000 and
then said if we want more,
790
00:31:51,231 --> 00:31:53,829
we'll have to go on record
with an official diagnosis.
791
00:31:53,830 --> 00:31:56,407
Okay, if they're offering that,
792
00:31:56,408 --> 00:31:58,428
we can probably get them up another 25.
793
00:31:58,429 --> 00:32:00,930
$50,000 isn't enough. I want 500.
794
00:32:00,931 --> 00:32:02,832
Samantha, that's never going to happen.
795
00:32:02,833 --> 00:32:04,700
- We have no leverage.
- So we'll get some.
796
00:32:04,701 --> 00:32:06,169
You're going to blackmail him?
797
00:32:06,170 --> 00:32:07,715
I'm gonna do right by my client.
798
00:32:07,716 --> 00:32:09,440
And if you think extorting a settlement
799
00:32:09,441 --> 00:32:11,357
is doing right by your client, then...
800
00:32:12,922 --> 00:32:14,822
Faye was right; you shouldn't
have taken this case.
801
00:32:14,823 --> 00:32:16,658
I don't believe this.
802
00:32:16,659 --> 00:32:19,827
- She got to you.
- No, Samantha, I got to me.
803
00:32:19,828 --> 00:32:22,664
And what you're talking about
is exactly the type of thing
804
00:32:22,665 --> 00:32:24,766
that got us handcuffed
to her in the first place.
805
00:32:24,767 --> 00:32:26,401
And if you think I asked for your help
806
00:32:26,402 --> 00:32:27,769
so you could be little
Sally Girl Scout...
807
00:32:27,770 --> 00:32:30,204
I think you're letting
your guilt blind you
808
00:32:30,205 --> 00:32:32,073
to what Lucas really needs,
809
00:32:32,074 --> 00:32:34,676
which is treatment for his condition.
810
00:32:34,677 --> 00:32:36,934
You don't think I know that?
811
00:32:36,935 --> 00:32:40,395
I tried, but I can't make him get help
812
00:32:40,396 --> 00:32:42,250
any more than I could...
813
00:32:42,251 --> 00:32:44,919
Samantha, I understand
what you're feeling.
814
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,156
But this isn't the way
to help your friend.
815
00:32:58,369 --> 00:33:01,327
Donna, there you are. I was
looking all over for you.
816
00:33:01,328 --> 00:33:03,562
Listen, I wanted to tell you
817
00:33:03,563 --> 00:33:06,365
how sorry I am about the other morning.
818
00:33:06,366 --> 00:33:07,565
Am I missing something?
819
00:33:08,203 --> 00:33:09,837
What do you have to be sorry about?
820
00:33:09,838 --> 00:33:12,673
Well, you and Harvey came
to me with wonderful news,
821
00:33:12,674 --> 00:33:15,542
and I got so caught up with the
firm situation, that I really
822
00:33:15,543 --> 00:33:17,544
didn't get a chance to
say how happy I am for you.
823
00:33:17,545 --> 00:33:19,012
Oh, that's really
thoughtful of you, Louis,
824
00:33:19,013 --> 00:33:20,414
but I completely understood.
825
00:33:20,415 --> 00:33:21,849
All the same. You're my friend.
826
00:33:21,850 --> 00:33:25,152
Monumental thing
happened for you, and...
827
00:33:25,153 --> 00:33:26,553
I want to hear all about it.
828
00:33:26,554 --> 00:33:29,312
- You mean girl talk?
- You know it.
829
00:33:29,313 --> 00:33:30,923
Which means I want to hear
830
00:33:30,924 --> 00:33:32,384
- how it happened.
- I will tell you.
831
00:33:32,385 --> 00:33:33,962
- When it happened.
- All the details.
832
00:33:33,963 --> 00:33:35,832
- What was it like?
- Okay, I'm shutting this down right now.
833
00:33:35,833 --> 00:33:37,724
No, Donna, I don't mean like that.
834
00:33:37,725 --> 00:33:39,635
I just want to do a
side-by-side comparison
835
00:33:39,636 --> 00:33:41,804
of Harvey's style to mine.
836
00:33:41,805 --> 00:33:44,406
- What is wrong with you?
- Okay, fine.
837
00:33:44,407 --> 00:33:45,841
I'm sorry.
838
00:33:45,842 --> 00:33:47,376
What I mean to say is...
839
00:33:47,377 --> 00:33:49,711
I'm thrilled for you.
840
00:33:49,712 --> 00:33:53,107
- I'm even happier for Harvey.
- Oh, really?
841
00:33:53,108 --> 00:33:54,149
And why is that?
842
00:33:54,150 --> 00:33:56,448
Because you're the best thing
that's ever happened to him.
843
00:33:58,197 --> 00:34:00,531
And he finally knows it.
844
00:34:01,710 --> 00:34:03,645
That's the sweetest thing
you've ever said to me.
845
00:34:03,646 --> 00:34:04,880
Does this mean you'll reconsider
846
00:34:04,881 --> 00:34:06,321
describing Harvey's technique to me?
847
00:34:07,845 --> 00:34:09,778
All right, then we'll do it later.
848
00:34:11,898 --> 00:34:14,700
You are not gonna believe
what Louis just tried to...
849
00:34:14,701 --> 00:34:16,567
Thomas backed out, Donna.
850
00:34:17,641 --> 00:34:18,764
What?
851
00:34:18,765 --> 00:34:20,513
He said he thought he could handle it,
852
00:34:20,514 --> 00:34:21,597
but he couldn't.
853
00:34:21,598 --> 00:34:24,785
Harvey, I... I told Faye
that he was signing with us.
854
00:34:24,786 --> 00:34:27,546
- This means that he's gonna...
- I know what it means.
855
00:34:27,547 --> 00:34:30,616
She's gonna want to go
back to interviewing him.
856
00:34:30,617 --> 00:34:34,320
No. She won't.
857
00:34:34,321 --> 00:34:36,888
'Cause I'm gonna tell her the truth.
858
00:34:43,860 --> 00:34:46,686
Donna, what can I do for you?
859
00:34:46,687 --> 00:34:49,612
You can listen.
860
00:34:49,613 --> 00:34:52,347
And hopefully understand.
861
00:34:52,807 --> 00:34:54,130
Understand what?
862
00:34:54,131 --> 00:34:56,589
Why Thomas Kessler left.
863
00:34:56,590 --> 00:34:59,261
I was under the
impression it didn't matter
864
00:34:59,262 --> 00:35:00,996
when you told me he was coming back.
865
00:35:00,997 --> 00:35:02,297
He's not.
866
00:35:02,298 --> 00:35:04,565
And the reason he's not
is the same reason he left.
867
00:35:06,430 --> 00:35:08,198
Thomas wasn't just a client.
868
00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:10,300
He and I were in a relationship.
869
00:35:10,301 --> 00:35:12,202
- Were?
- Yes.
870
00:35:12,203 --> 00:35:13,736
We ended it a few days ago,
871
00:35:13,737 --> 00:35:15,412
and you can ask him about it yourself,
872
00:35:15,413 --> 00:35:17,937
but you would just be
making him reopen a wound
873
00:35:17,938 --> 00:35:19,835
that he is trying to close.
874
00:35:19,836 --> 00:35:21,804
Why didn't you tell me this before?
875
00:35:21,805 --> 00:35:23,394
Have you ever been in a relationship
876
00:35:23,395 --> 00:35:25,575
that you thought would last but didn't,
877
00:35:25,576 --> 00:35:29,345
and when it ended there
was collateral damage
878
00:35:29,346 --> 00:35:32,355
that you never could've
anticipated, but...
879
00:35:32,356 --> 00:35:34,383
still felt responsible for?
880
00:35:39,923 --> 00:35:42,325
That's why.
881
00:35:42,326 --> 00:35:46,095
You can cancel the interview, Donna.
882
00:35:46,096 --> 00:35:49,498
And thank you for telling me the truth.
883
00:35:56,388 --> 00:35:58,478
What's that?
884
00:35:58,479 --> 00:36:01,737
It's a settlement offer for $25,000.
885
00:36:01,738 --> 00:36:03,862
I don't want a settlement.
I want my job back!
886
00:36:03,863 --> 00:36:06,097
Lucas, listen to me.
887
00:36:06,529 --> 00:36:10,286
It took me a long time to admit
that sometimes I need help.
888
00:36:10,287 --> 00:36:13,312
And right now you
need professional help.
889
00:36:13,313 --> 00:36:15,147
You're not gonna get out
of this hole without...
890
00:36:15,148 --> 00:36:18,850
- Damn it, I told you!
- I know what you told me.
891
00:36:18,851 --> 00:36:19,985
But you're my friend.
892
00:36:19,986 --> 00:36:21,653
You're still living back there,
893
00:36:21,654 --> 00:36:22,978
and I am not gonna leave you behind.
894
00:36:22,979 --> 00:36:24,692
What do you know about
this? You weren't even there!
895
00:36:24,693 --> 00:36:27,694
And I will feel guilty about
that for the rest of my life.
896
00:36:28,228 --> 00:36:29,995
But what I'm not gonna do
897
00:36:29,996 --> 00:36:34,765
is let you leave here without
signing this job offer.
898
00:36:35,361 --> 00:36:37,118
What? I thought you couldn't...
899
00:36:37,119 --> 00:36:39,521
I can't.
900
00:36:39,522 --> 00:36:42,223
I created a corporation.
901
00:36:42,224 --> 00:36:45,794
That is a contract between
you and SW Industries.
902
00:36:45,795 --> 00:36:47,729
To the world, you have a job.
903
00:36:47,730 --> 00:36:50,030
One year, the pay is $100,000.
904
00:36:51,967 --> 00:36:54,068
I can't take your money.
905
00:36:54,069 --> 00:36:55,703
It's not charity.
906
00:36:55,704 --> 00:36:57,672
If you don't get the help you need,
907
00:36:57,673 --> 00:37:00,440
that contract is null and void.
908
00:37:02,870 --> 00:37:07,439
Lucas, I have only ever
told one other person this...
909
00:37:10,150 --> 00:37:12,586
I was beaten as a kid.
910
00:37:13,567 --> 00:37:16,559
And it took admitting that
I needed professional help
911
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,093
to get over it.
912
00:37:19,295 --> 00:37:21,796
You've been to war.
913
00:37:30,050 --> 00:37:32,408
I told myself I could handle it.
914
00:37:32,409 --> 00:37:33,682
You can.
915
00:37:35,717 --> 00:37:38,084
You just can't do it alone.
916
00:37:43,525 --> 00:37:47,094
Mmm, that looks delicious.
Mind if I have some?
917
00:37:47,095 --> 00:37:48,930
- You want some prunie?
- I would.
918
00:37:48,931 --> 00:37:50,832
In fact, why don't
you pour another glass
919
00:37:50,833 --> 00:37:52,347
and we could take it down to Benjamin?
920
00:37:52,348 --> 00:37:53,615
He's been working so hard.
921
00:37:53,616 --> 00:37:55,550
- Benjamin?
- Mm-hmm.
922
00:37:55,551 --> 00:37:57,485
Yeah, I was having a little
trouble with my email,
923
00:37:57,486 --> 00:37:59,326
so I went to get him,
and wouldn't you know it,
924
00:37:59,575 --> 00:38:01,832
I found him hip deep
in the Bar's bylaws.
925
00:38:01,833 --> 00:38:03,567
Well, you know, Benjamin
is an avid reader.
926
00:38:03,568 --> 00:38:05,735
Especially when he's
given an assignment...
927
00:38:05,736 --> 00:38:08,071
by the managing partner.
928
00:38:08,072 --> 00:38:09,639
I don't believe it. He told you.
929
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,409
That's what you're concerned about?
930
00:38:12,410 --> 00:38:14,734
You people!
931
00:38:14,735 --> 00:38:18,285
I come here and give you a
chance to clean up your act,
932
00:38:18,286 --> 00:38:19,920
and inside of two days,
933
00:38:19,921 --> 00:38:21,922
not only am I openly
defied left and right,
934
00:38:21,923 --> 00:38:24,758
but I find out the managing
partner wants me gone so badly,
935
00:38:24,759 --> 00:38:26,722
he ordered someone to
hack the New York Bar!
936
00:38:26,723 --> 00:38:28,424
Bullshit, I didn't order
Benjamin to do that!
937
00:38:28,425 --> 00:38:30,159
Are you saying he's lying to me now?
938
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,427
I'm saying I told him
939
00:38:31,428 --> 00:38:33,095
that I didn't give a shit what it took.
940
00:38:33,096 --> 00:38:35,311
I wanted the bylaws. I
didn't mean for him to...
941
00:38:35,312 --> 00:38:36,531
To hack them?
942
00:38:36,532 --> 00:38:37,971
Well, that's what he took it to mean.
943
00:38:37,972 --> 00:38:39,335
Because you gave him an order.
944
00:38:39,336 --> 00:38:41,289
Said you didn't care
how he accomplished it.
945
00:38:41,290 --> 00:38:43,229
And you know what? As
far as I'm concerned,
946
00:38:43,230 --> 00:38:45,364
you're lucky I'm not
letting you go right now.
947
00:38:45,365 --> 00:38:46,899
You can't talk to me like that.
948
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:48,660
That's the problem with this place.
949
00:38:48,661 --> 00:38:50,728
You're a bunch of wild
dogs running around,
950
00:38:50,729 --> 00:38:53,698
defecating all over the legal
standards you swore to uphold.
951
00:38:53,699 --> 00:38:55,266
You can bet your ass
952
00:38:55,267 --> 00:38:58,870
I'm gonna put a leash
on every one of you.
953
00:39:08,746 --> 00:39:10,748
- Well?
- It's done.
954
00:39:10,749 --> 00:39:12,849
We're off the hook.
955
00:39:13,601 --> 00:39:15,780
- Then she bought it.
- It was the truth, Harvey.
956
00:39:15,781 --> 00:39:17,198
There was nothing to buy.
957
00:39:18,378 --> 00:39:21,980
Hey, what do you say we
break out the can opener?
958
00:39:21,981 --> 00:39:24,750
Whoa, that is a pretrial thing,
959
00:39:24,751 --> 00:39:26,342
not a we-just-got-out-
of-trouble thing.
960
00:39:26,343 --> 00:39:27,448
Who says it can't be both?
961
00:39:27,449 --> 00:39:29,127
The can opener says it can't be both.
962
00:39:29,128 --> 00:39:31,019
You can't argue with the can opener.
963
00:39:31,020 --> 00:39:33,392
- Hey, I'm not the bad guy here.
- You might not be the bad guy,
964
00:39:33,393 --> 00:39:35,026
- but that doesn't mean that...
- I hate to interrupt,
965
00:39:35,027 --> 00:39:36,795
but you need to get
yourselves over to IT,
966
00:39:36,796 --> 00:39:38,263
and you need to do it right now.
967
00:39:43,599 --> 00:39:44,923
What the fuck did you do?
968
00:39:44,924 --> 00:39:46,066
Louis, you don't understand.
969
00:39:46,067 --> 00:39:47,239
She knew before I even told her.
970
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:48,997
Bullshit. She knew because you told her.
971
00:39:48,998 --> 00:39:51,165
You betrayed me. You
betrayed this firm...
972
00:39:51,166 --> 00:39:52,634
I tried to hide it, I swear.
973
00:39:52,635 --> 00:39:54,703
Save your pathetic excuses,
and get the hell out of my firm.
974
00:39:54,704 --> 00:39:55,869
You are fired.
975
00:39:55,870 --> 00:39:57,842
- Louis, stop!
- Stay out of this.
976
00:39:57,843 --> 00:39:59,278
She's not staying out
of it, and neither am I.
977
00:39:59,279 --> 00:40:00,469
What the hell is going on here?
978
00:40:00,470 --> 00:40:02,251
I asked this traitor to
help us get rid of Faye.
979
00:40:02,252 --> 00:40:03,942
Instead of doing it, he ratted me out.
980
00:40:03,943 --> 00:40:05,311
Louis, what was I supposed to do?
981
00:40:05,312 --> 00:40:06,999
- She found out about the hack.
- What hack?
982
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,429
He asked me to find a
loophole in the Bar's bylaws
983
00:40:09,430 --> 00:40:10,997
that he could use to get Faye out.
984
00:40:10,998 --> 00:40:12,833
Louis, you had no right to ask him that.
985
00:40:12,834 --> 00:40:15,349
Bullshit, I had every right!
I'm the managing partner.
986
00:40:15,350 --> 00:40:16,650
Just like I have the right to fire him.
987
00:40:16,651 --> 00:40:18,753
No, you don't. There's three of us here.
988
00:40:18,754 --> 00:40:20,554
I'm calling it to a vote. I'm against.
989
00:40:20,555 --> 00:40:22,289
You can't do that. He's support staff.
990
00:40:22,290 --> 00:40:23,491
It's not subject to a vote.
991
00:40:23,492 --> 00:40:24,787
The hell it isn't!
992
00:40:24,788 --> 00:40:26,293
Right, Harvey?
993
00:40:26,294 --> 00:40:28,195
Right. Louis...
994
00:40:28,196 --> 00:40:30,012
Okay, this is horseshit.
You're just agreeing with Donna
995
00:40:30,013 --> 00:40:31,848
because you don't want
her to be mad at you
996
00:40:31,849 --> 00:40:32,883
now that you're in a relationship.
997
00:40:32,884 --> 00:40:34,041
Louis, that's ridiculous.
998
00:40:34,042 --> 00:40:37,344
Harvey would never side
with me just because of that.
999
00:40:37,989 --> 00:40:40,791
Yeah, I knew it. Which
means it's my call.
1000
00:40:40,792 --> 00:40:42,078
Benjamin's gone.
1001
00:40:42,079 --> 00:40:43,560
No, he's not.
1002
00:40:43,561 --> 00:40:46,163
Because this shows an
utter lack of judgment.
1003
00:40:46,164 --> 00:40:47,888
And I'm not letting it stand.
1004
00:40:47,889 --> 00:40:49,177
No, you're just going to come in here
1005
00:40:49,178 --> 00:40:51,755
and publicly humiliate me for
the third time in as many days.
1006
00:40:51,756 --> 00:40:54,477
Well, forgive me if I don't feel
like sticking around for your party.
1007
00:40:58,962 --> 00:41:00,352
Bowling?
1008
00:41:00,353 --> 00:41:03,010
He's already telling people?
1009
00:41:03,011 --> 00:41:04,872
No, I went by his office earlier
1010
00:41:04,873 --> 00:41:08,175
to see how he's doing
with the whole Faye thing,
1011
00:41:08,176 --> 00:41:09,743
and Gretchen told me where you two were.
1012
00:41:09,744 --> 00:41:12,079
Well, if you want to know how it went,
1013
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,081
the man's actually a natural.
1014
00:41:14,082 --> 00:41:16,658
- I'm not surprised.
- You aren't?
1015
00:41:16,659 --> 00:41:18,852
No, once he puts his mind to things,
1016
00:41:18,853 --> 00:41:21,121
Louis is an incredibly quick study.
1017
00:41:21,122 --> 00:41:23,857
- You really do know him.
- I do...
1018
00:41:23,858 --> 00:41:25,592
which is why I know
1019
00:41:25,593 --> 00:41:28,027
he's going to need his
friends now more than ever.
1020
00:41:28,769 --> 00:41:31,327
You were there for him
today, and I appreciate that.
1021
00:41:31,328 --> 00:41:33,519
Well, I'll be there
for him tomorrow too.
1022
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:34,920
We all will.
1023
00:41:49,122 --> 00:41:50,544
What are you doing here?
1024
00:41:50,545 --> 00:41:52,587
I heard what you said
about humiliating you,
1025
00:41:52,588 --> 00:41:55,390
so I'm coming to you in private
to say what I have to say.
1026
00:41:55,391 --> 00:41:56,614
What is it?
1027
00:41:56,615 --> 00:41:58,359
Well, for starters, Benjamin is staying
1028
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,228
because he doesn't
deserve to be punished
1029
00:42:00,229 --> 00:42:01,696
for doing something you made him do.
1030
00:42:01,697 --> 00:42:02,897
I told you, I didn't
make him do anything...
1031
00:42:02,898 --> 00:42:04,088
And Wells Fargo
1032
00:42:04,089 --> 00:42:07,124
didn't make its employees
open those fake accounts.
1033
00:42:07,125 --> 00:42:10,232
But pressure from the
top is hard to withstand.
1034
00:42:10,233 --> 00:42:12,267
Well, then why don't you have
that engraved on a paperweight?
1035
00:42:12,268 --> 00:42:13,863
Because you may be special master,
1036
00:42:13,864 --> 00:42:15,270
but I'm managing partner.
1037
00:42:15,271 --> 00:42:18,178
- That gives me certain rights...
- Not anymore.
1038
00:42:18,179 --> 00:42:19,301
What?
1039
00:42:19,302 --> 00:42:20,503
Because I went after your bylaws,
1040
00:42:20,504 --> 00:42:21,603
you think you can go after mine?
1041
00:42:21,604 --> 00:42:23,937
Good luck. They're airtight.
1042
00:42:23,938 --> 00:42:27,831
I meant you're not
managing partner anymore.
1043
00:42:27,832 --> 00:42:29,954
Effective immediately.
1044
00:42:29,955 --> 00:42:31,456
You're stripped of your title
1045
00:42:31,457 --> 00:42:32,924
and all the duties that go with it.
1046
00:42:32,925 --> 00:42:36,194
You can either accept this or resign.
