1

00:00:01,332 --> 00:00:02,652

I can't afford Zane's buy-in.

2
00:00:02,653 --> 00:00:04,886
I pay you out
of my own pocket

3
00:00:04,921 --> 00:00:07,926
and the partner's find out,
it will cost me millions.

4
00:00:07,927 --> 00:00:09,693
Jessica, I need this.

5
00:00:09,729 --> 00:00:11,295
I'm actually
loaning you this money,

6
00:00:11,490 --> 00:00:12,856
and you're gonna loan it
to him,

7
00:00:12,892 --> 00:00:15,292
and if nobody
ever repays anybody,

8
00:00:15,327 --> 00:00:17,728
nobody's gonna give a shit.
- Thank you.

9
00:00:17,763 --> 00:00:19,603
Harvey, it's time to take my
name off the wall.

10
00:00:19,645 --> 00:00:21,312
And what if I say
I accept it?

11
00:00:21,347 --> 00:00:22,791
Then you've got two things
to figure out.

12
00:00:22,815 --> 00:00:24,682
How much are you gonna spend
to buy me out,

13
00:00:24,717 --> 00:00:26,261
and how're you gonna
spin this thing?

14
00:00:26,262 --> 00:00:27,428
The second
we cut her a check,

15
00:00:27,463 --> 00:00:28,954
we don't have a leg
to stand on in court.

16
00:00:28,955 --> 00:00:30,171
It's a one-way ticket
to bankruptcy.

17
00:00:30,172 --> 00:00:31,857
Well, I'm not letting
that son of a bitch

18
00:00:31,858 --> 00:00:33,736
back into the
house Jessica took from him.

19
00:00:33,737 --> 00:00:35,854
Wait a second.
Stanley Gordon doesn't need money.

20
00:00:35,855 --> 00:00:38,033
He just wants the world to know
that Jessica's name's dog shit.

21
00:00:38,057 --> 00:00:39,390
If we put out
a public statement

22
00:00:39,425 --> 00:00:40,736
that throws Jessica
under the bus...

23
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,159
- No way.
- We do this,

24
00:00:42,195 --> 00:00:44,395
Jessica gets paid,
we are free and clear.
25
00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:46,688
I was just wondering
if there's a reason why

26
00:00:46,689 --> 00:00:47,833
I just got a new lease
on my desk

27
00:00:47,857 --> 00:00:49,590
that's 10% less
than our last one.

28
00:00:49,626 --> 00:00:51,594
I just wanted to thank you
for keeping me.

29
00:00:51,595 --> 00:00:52,794
Before you go.

30
00:00:52,830 --> 00:00:54,462
Do you want me
to pour us a drink?

31
00:00:54,498 --> 00:00:56,331
What do you say
we shake things up

32
00:00:56,366 --> 00:00:57,799
and make it two?

33
00:01:12,592 --> 00:01:15,092
Nathan, what are you
doing here?

34
00:01:15,128 --> 00:01:18,029
- Can I come in?
- Yeah, of course.

35
00:01:18,064 --> 00:01:18,863
- Thanks.
- Can I get you

36
00:01:18,898 --> 00:01:20,531
a coffee or something?

37
00:01:20,567 --> 00:01:25,036
- No, I'm, I'm good.
- What's going on?

38
00:01:25,479 --> 00:01:28,013
Well, I don't know
how to say this,

39
00:01:28,048 --> 00:01:29,948
so I'm just going to say it.

40
00:01:29,984 --> 00:01:32,985
I got into a case.
It started getting to me,

41
00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:37,255
and the next thing I knew,
it turned into a class action.

42
00:01:37,733 --> 00:01:38,810
Nathan, you don't
have the resources

43
00:01:38,834 --> 00:01:40,382
to take on a class action.

44
00:01:40,383 --> 00:01:42,316
That didn't stop you
from taking on

45
00:01:42,352 --> 00:01:43,629
those miners last year.
- No, it didn't.

46
00:01:43,653 --> 00:01:47,121
But I ended up needing to go
to Pearson Specter for help.

47
00:01:47,157 --> 00:01:49,257
Why do you think
I'm here now?

48
00:01:49,292 --> 00:01:51,626
You want me to ask my firm
to help you?

49
00:01:51,661 --> 00:01:54,595
I want your firm to make an
investment in the clinic.

50
00:01:54,631 --> 00:01:56,230
Nathan, that's never
going to happen.

51
00:01:56,266 --> 00:01:57,732
Well, I need
some kind of help.

52
00:01:57,767 --> 00:01:59,233
Because there are
a bunch of children

53
00:01:59,269 --> 00:02:00,713
who are never going
to live normal lives,

54
00:02:00,737 --> 00:02:02,170
and if I don't
think of something,

55
00:02:02,205 --> 00:02:03,482
I'm going to have to choose
between them,

56
00:02:03,506 --> 00:02:04,872
and keeping the clinic
in business.

57
00:02:04,908 --> 00:02:05,951
Wait, wait, wait,
what do you mean

58
00:02:05,975 --> 00:02:07,575
they're never going
to have normal lives?

59
00:02:07,610 --> 00:02:09,177
There's a school
in upstate New York.

60
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:11,531
About ten years ago,
Discharge Power started making

61
00:02:11,555 --> 00:02:13,440
batteries
a thousand yards away.

62
00:02:13,482 --> 00:02:16,749
Those kids started getting
lead poisoning.

63
00:02:16,785 --> 00:02:21,120
And they say it's not
from the plant, but it is.

64
00:02:21,156 --> 00:02:23,623
All right, I have an idea.

65
00:02:23,658 --> 00:02:25,024
But it's not giving you money,

66
00:02:25,060 --> 00:02:27,427
and it's not giving you
our associates.

67
00:02:31,099 --> 00:02:32,632
I know we drank a few
last night,

68
00:02:32,667 --> 00:02:35,268
but I'm pretty sure
you're in the wrong office.

69
00:02:35,303 --> 00:02:37,203
I was going to replace
the bottle we finished,

70
00:02:37,239 --> 00:02:39,172
but I can find it another home.

71
00:02:39,207 --> 00:02:41,207
What's that they say
about great minds?

72
00:02:43,612 --> 00:02:46,641
Seriously, Donna,
it was nice just to hang out,

73
00:02:46,642 --> 00:02:48,976
and enjoy each other's company.
74
00:02:49,011 --> 00:02:51,278
It sure was.

75
00:02:51,313 --> 00:02:54,848
So, things between us are--

76
00:02:54,884 --> 00:02:56,717
Back to normal?

77
00:02:56,752 --> 00:02:58,685
If they are for you,
they are for me.

78
00:02:58,721 --> 00:02:59,820
Good.

79
00:03:01,850 --> 00:03:04,751
I hope you two didn't break
out the scotch on my behalf.

80
00:03:04,786 --> 00:03:06,820
I don't imbibe this early
unless I'm on vacation.

81
00:03:07,169 --> 00:03:08,280
I know you're
getting old, Stanley,

82
00:03:08,304 --> 00:03:10,170
but you're on
permanent vacation.

83
00:03:10,205 --> 00:03:11,679
Well, I hate
to break it to you,

84
00:03:11,731 --> 00:03:13,164
but I'm stepping back
into the ring.

85
00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:15,013
That doesn't look like
a Christmas present.

86
00:03:15,014 --> 00:03:17,314
It's a lawsuit on behalf
of your former partners

87
00:03:17,349 --> 00:03:20,651
for damages incurred by the
criminal actions of this firm.

88
00:03:20,686 --> 00:03:22,286
What the hell
are you talking about?

89
00:03:22,321 --> 00:03:23,598
Every single partner
who left this firm

90
00:03:23,622 --> 00:03:26,256
after Mike Ross went to jail
is damaged goods.

91
00:03:26,316 --> 00:03:28,143
- Bullshit.
- It's not bullshit.

92
00:03:28,258 --> 00:03:29,736
And in case it hasn't
occurred to you,

93
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,971
once you put that statement out
about Jessica's disbarment,

94
00:03:31,995 --> 00:03:32,992
you made my case for me.

95
00:03:32,993 --> 00:03:36,627
Son of a--we issued
that statement to appease you.

96
00:03:36,663 --> 00:03:38,903
Hey, it wasn't my idea to
throw your mommy under the bus.

97
00:03:38,932 --> 00:03:40,498
It was your partner's.

98
00:03:40,533 --> 00:03:42,867
All I did was take advantage
of an opportunity.
99
00:03:42,902 --> 00:03:46,671
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a trial to prepare for.

100
00:03:55,195 --> 00:03:57,095
Harvey, we have a problem.

101
00:03:57,130 --> 00:03:58,508
Well, whatever it is,
it's going to have to wait.

102
00:03:58,532 --> 00:04:00,999
Because I just got a visit
from Stanley Gordon.

103
00:04:01,034 --> 00:04:02,779
- Me too, he's suing us.
- And what exactly are you

104
00:04:02,803 --> 00:04:04,102
planning to do about it?

105
00:04:04,137 --> 00:04:05,670
Because this whole thing
is your fault.

106
00:04:05,706 --> 00:04:07,272
My fault?
How is it my fault?

107
00:04:07,307 --> 00:04:09,185
You were the one who came up
with that idea to release

108
00:04:09,209 --> 00:04:11,187
that statement condemning
Jessica in the first place.

109
00:04:11,211 --> 00:04:13,678
Harvey, I am not the enemy
Stanley Gordon is.

110
00:04:13,714 --> 00:04:14,991
And I don't care
how he twisted it.
111
00:04:15,015 --> 00:04:16,181
It was a good idea.

112
00:04:16,216 --> 00:04:17,360
Well, we need
another good idea.

113
00:04:17,384 --> 00:04:19,651
Because he's suing
for the exact amount

114
00:04:19,686 --> 00:04:20,752
of their original buy-ins.

115
00:04:20,787 --> 00:04:22,654
Wait a second.

116
00:04:22,689 --> 00:04:23,955
This is about their buy-ins.

117
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:26,024
Of course it's about
their buy-ins.

118
00:04:26,059 --> 00:04:27,937
What difference does that make?
- If we can prove

119
00:04:27,961 --> 00:04:29,906
that this is just a back door
way of getting that money back,

120
00:04:29,930 --> 00:04:31,262
we can get this thing dismissed

121
00:04:31,298 --> 00:04:33,098
before it ever
gets off the ground.

122
00:04:33,133 --> 00:04:34,499
All right.

123
00:04:34,534 --> 00:04:36,501
You get to work
on drafting a motion,
124
00:04:36,536 --> 00:04:39,437
I'm going to try
and get us some proof.

125
00:04:39,473 --> 00:04:41,573
Harvey, you think we should
let Jessica know?

126
00:04:41,608 --> 00:04:43,375
No, Louis, I don't.

127
00:04:43,410 --> 00:04:45,110
Because I'm not about
to tell Jessica

128
00:04:45,145 --> 00:04:47,746
that we issued a statement
condemning her for nothing.

00:05:26,135 --> 00:05:28,402
And he's going to be out
for a while.

142
00:05:28,437 --> 00:05:30,404
- What happened?
- We got hit with a lawsuit

143
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:32,172
from Stanley Gordon.

144
00:05:32,208 --> 00:05:33,752
The partners
are coming after their money,

145
00:05:33,776 --> 00:05:35,409
and they hired him to do it.
- Shit.

146
00:05:35,444 --> 00:05:37,277
If we lose that--
- I know.

147
00:05:37,313 --> 00:05:39,680

Is there something
I can help you with?

149
00:05:44,124 --> 00:05:46,525
Donna, the clinic's
in trouble.

150
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,161
Nathan came to me this morning
about asking Harvey for money,

151
00:05:49,196 --> 00:05:50,629
and--
- Mike, there's no way.

152
00:05:50,664 --> 00:05:52,264
I know, and that's
what I told Nathan.

153
00:05:52,299 --> 00:05:54,342
- Then what do you need?
- I need to pour everything

154
00:05:54,343 --> 00:05:56,310
I have into one of his cases
until we win.

155
00:05:56,345 --> 00:05:59,446
And I know Harvey and I had our
share of problems this year,

156
00:05:59,481 --> 00:06:01,114
and I don't want
to add to them.

157
00:06:01,291 --> 00:06:04,325
Well, if you're asking
for my blessing, you have it.

158
00:06:05,056 --> 00:06:07,756
Thanks, Donna.

159
00:06:08,027 --> 00:06:10,127
- Mike?
- Yeah?

160
00:06:10,162 --> 00:06:11,928
What's the case?

161
00:06:11,964 --> 00:06:14,965
Kids with lead poisoning.

162
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,600
Go get 'em.

163
00:06:24,588 --> 00:06:25,854
I was wondering
when you'd find me.

164
00:06:25,855 --> 00:06:28,612
What the hell is your name
doing on that suit?

165
00:06:28,613 --> 00:06:29,623
- Harvey--
- Because we both know

166
00:06:29,647 --> 00:06:31,147
Jessica made you whole.

167
00:06:31,182 --> 00:06:34,283
Which means you got no business
stabbing us in the back.

168
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:36,027
I'm not stabbing anyone,
Harvey.

169
00:06:36,028 --> 00:06:38,261
Not only are you
shoving the knife in,

170
00:06:38,297 --> 00:06:40,497
you're getting paid twice
in the process.

171
00:06:40,532 --> 00:06:42,332
Think it through, Harvey.

172
00:06:42,367 --> 00:06:44,301
You know Jessica
gave me the buy-in.
173
00:06:44,336 --> 00:06:46,169
None of them do.

174
00:06:46,205 --> 00:06:48,138
I refuse to sign on
to this thing,

175
00:06:48,173 --> 00:06:50,207
every one of them
figures out what happened,

176
00:06:50,242 --> 00:06:52,542
and it opens the floodgates
to them coming after

177
00:06:52,578 --> 00:06:53,578
their money legitimately,

178
00:06:53,612 --> 00:06:55,445
instead of
through the back door.

179
00:06:55,481 --> 00:06:56,791
So you're saying
I should thank you?

180
00:06:56,815 --> 00:06:59,282
I guess I am.
Not that you ever would.

181
00:06:59,318 --> 00:07:01,051
I'll thank you
when you get those clowns

182
00:07:01,086 --> 00:07:02,753
to back the hell off
this claim.

183
00:07:02,788 --> 00:07:04,654
- I can't do that.
- Sure you can.

184
00:07:04,690 --> 00:07:06,323
You've always been
the ringleader.

185
00:07:06,358 --> 00:07:08,391
You give them some line
about this opening them up

186
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:10,827
to countersuits
for breach of contract.

187
00:07:10,863 --> 00:07:12,529
They'll drop this
before the sun comes up.

188
00:07:12,564 --> 00:07:15,565
They're not idiots.
I try a stunt like that,

189
00:07:15,601 --> 00:07:18,335
I might as well have refused
to sign on in the first place.

190
00:07:18,370 --> 00:07:22,105
Jack, listen to me.

191
00:07:22,141 --> 00:07:24,141
This could put us under.

192
00:07:24,538 --> 00:07:26,805
Look, I'm no fan
of Stanley Gordon,

193
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,441
so if there's a way that I can
help that doesn't screw me,

194
00:07:29,476 --> 00:07:31,042
I will.

195
00:07:31,078 --> 00:07:32,978
But you did this,

196
00:07:33,013 --> 00:07:35,847
when you issued that statement
about Jessica.

197
00:07:35,883 --> 00:07:36,982
Now, if you'll excuse me,
198
00:07:37,017 --> 00:07:39,084
I'm not looking to be seen
talking to you.

199
00:07:44,517 --> 00:07:47,151
Hey, Mike.
What are you doing here?

200
00:07:47,186 --> 00:07:49,219
I just came to tell the king
of class action here

201
00:07:49,255 --> 00:07:50,354
that I'm in.

202
00:07:50,389 --> 00:07:52,356
You got me for as long
as you need me.

203
00:07:52,830 --> 00:07:53,996
Mike, that's great.
Thank you.

204
00:07:54,031 --> 00:07:55,765
Wait a second,
you're telling me you brought

205
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,496
this jerkoff onto our case?
- Excuse me.

206
00:07:57,497 --> 00:07:58,929
Mr. Jerkoff, please.
- Oh, yeah?

207
00:07:58,965 --> 00:08:01,766
How about Johnnie Dickface?
- How about Jonathan Dickface?

208
00:08:01,801 --> 00:08:03,445
Okay, are you two finished?
Because we actually

209
00:08:03,469 --> 00:08:05,002
have a case to prepare for.

210
00:08:05,037 --> 00:08:06,215
And they just filed
a motion to dismiss

211
00:08:06,239 --> 00:08:08,005
based on insufficient
class certification.

212
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,340
What?

213
00:08:09,375 --> 00:08:10,719
I filled out
that paperwork myself,

214
00:08:10,743 --> 00:08:13,244
and you filed it yesterday.
- No, you filed it.

215
00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:15,124
Because you said you were going
to take care of it yourself.

216
00:08:15,148 --> 00:08:17,181
And then you said you were
going down to the court.

217
00:08:17,216 --> 00:08:19,116
Shit.

218
00:08:19,152 --> 00:08:20,701
I got caught up.
- God damn it, Nathan.

219
00:08:20,702 --> 00:08:22,046
This ruins three months worth
of work.

220
00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:24,148
- You think I don't know that?
- I don't care whether

221
00:08:24,172 --> 00:08:25,133
you know it or not,
it was your idea to--

222
00:08:25,134 --> 00:08:26,766
All right, all right,
that's enough.

223
00:08:26,802 --> 00:08:29,102
Guys, pointing fingers isn't
going to get us anywhere.

224
00:08:29,137 --> 00:08:30,537
Mike's right.

225
00:08:30,572 --> 00:08:32,872
The question is,
what are we going to do?

226
00:08:32,908 --> 00:08:33,918
We're going to do what you do

227
00:08:33,942 --> 00:08:36,176
when the law
isn't on your side.

228
00:08:36,211 --> 00:08:37,588
We're going to tell the truth,
and hope to hell

229
00:08:37,612 --> 00:08:38,745
the judge sees it our way.

230
00:08:41,808 --> 00:08:43,508
Your Honor,
the law is clear on this.

231
00:08:43,543 --> 00:08:45,410
They missed the deadline,
and you are obligated

232
00:08:45,445 --> 00:08:46,918
to dismiss this case.
- He's right, Your Honor.

233
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:49,776
I missed the deadline,
but there are 150 children

234
00:08:49,777 --> 00:08:51,302
with elevated levels
of lead in their blood
235
00:08:51,303 --> 00:08:53,381
that shouldn't have to suffer
because I made a mistake.

236
00:08:53,405 --> 00:08:54,771
Well, that is a
wonderful story,

237
00:08:54,806 --> 00:08:56,406
but the truth is,
he doesn't care

238
00:08:56,441 --> 00:08:57,952
about these children
because this is a cash grab,

239
00:08:57,976 --> 00:09:00,043
plain and simple.
- Cash grab?

240
00:09:00,590 --> 00:09:02,390
Our fees are capped at $50,000.

241
00:09:02,425 --> 00:09:04,125
$50,000
keeps your clinic running

242
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,294
for a hell of a long time,
and I still haven't heard

243
00:09:06,329 --> 00:09:08,062
one piece of evidence
that we even knew

244
00:09:08,098 --> 00:09:10,231
about these lead levels.
- Your Honor, if I may,

245
00:09:10,266 --> 00:09:12,378
I have some evidence I'd like
to share with the court.

246
00:09:12,402 --> 00:09:14,402
- And you are?
- Mike Ross, Specter Litt,
247
00:09:14,437 --> 00:09:16,248
Your Honor, and I think
it might interest the court

248
00:09:16,272 --> 00:09:18,005
to know a little
of Mr. Collins' history

249
00:09:18,041 --> 00:09:20,274
with cases like this.
- What are you talking about?

250
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:22,343
Your last case
against a clinic.

251
00:09:22,794 --> 00:09:25,060
You created 16 situations
just like this,

252
00:09:25,096 --> 00:09:26,762
and then, on the 17th,
it got thrown out,

253
00:09:26,798 --> 00:09:28,838
because they finally
missed a deadline.

254
00:09:28,839 --> 00:09:30,883
That is a mischaracterization
of the facts, Your Honor.

255
00:09:30,907 --> 00:09:33,641
Whereas only 10%
of Nathan Krueger's cases

256
00:09:33,677 --> 00:09:36,344
even involve monetary damages,
because this man

257
00:09:36,380 --> 00:09:38,613
spends most of his time
trying to keep poor people

258
00:09:38,648 --> 00:09:40,749
in their homes and protecting
their civil rights.

259
00:09:40,784 --> 00:09:42,917
Well, then give him the
Congressional medal of honor

260
00:09:42,953 --> 00:09:45,687
and dismiss this case because
he still missed the deadline.

261
00:09:45,722 --> 00:09:48,455
And it's within my power
to extend it, Mr. Collins.

262
00:09:48,456 --> 00:09:50,735
So if your company
did nothing wrong,

263
00:09:50,736 --> 00:09:52,069
you have nothing
to worry about.

264
00:09:52,104 --> 00:09:53,937
Because this case
is moving to trial.

265
00:09:53,973 --> 00:09:56,040
Your Honor,
this action is nothing more

266
00:09:56,075 --> 00:09:58,020
than a backdoor attempt
to get our former partners

267
00:09:58,044 --> 00:09:59,677
their buy-ins back.
- Where's your proof?

268
00:09:59,712 --> 00:10:01,679
I'll tell you where.
You helped us rewrite

269
00:10:01,714 --> 00:10:04,648
our bylaws to stop this claim.
Now, you're using the statement

270
00:10:04,684 --> 00:10:07,840
you made us issue to revive
that very same claim.

271
00:10:08,038 --> 00:10:09,316
Every one of these
former partners

272
00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:10,672
suffered damage
to their career

273
00:10:10,708 --> 00:10:12,908
due to their association
with a firm that hired a fraud,

274
00:10:12,943 --> 00:10:14,509
and you know it.
- Wow, Stanley.

275
00:10:14,545 --> 00:10:16,456
Isn't it convenient that all
you have to back that up

276
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:17,490
is the word
of the very same partners

277
00:10:17,514 --> 00:10:18,280
that'll say anything
they have to

278
00:10:18,315 --> 00:10:20,501
to get their money back?

279
00:10:20,502 --> 00:10:21,546
I'm glad
you brought that up, Louis.

280
00:10:21,570 --> 00:10:23,670
Because I happen
to have the statement

281
00:10:23,705 --> 00:10:25,683
of a former partner who's not
a part of this lawsuit at all.

282
00:10:25,707 --> 00:10:26,884
What the hell
are you talking about?

283
00:10:26,908 --> 00:10:29,108
Your Honor,
this is a court transcript

284
00:10:29,144 --> 00:10:31,455
of a case tried by Dana Scott,
former partner of their firm.

285
00:10:31,479 --> 00:10:32,590
I'd like to draw your attention
to the section

286
00:10:32,614 --> 00:10:34,380
where Ms. Scott talks about
having

287
00:10:34,416 --> 00:10:36,382
her credibility questioned
as a direct result

288
00:10:36,418 --> 00:10:38,184
of working at Pearson Specter.

289
00:10:38,219 --> 00:10:40,328
Your Honor, there must be
some other explanation for--

290
00:10:40,329 --> 00:10:41,606
Then get her ass
in here to give it.

291
00:10:41,630 --> 00:10:43,497
- Watch your mouth!
- That's enough.

292
00:10:43,532 --> 00:10:45,599
He's right.
If you can't get Ms. Scott

293
00:10:45,634 --> 00:10:47,301
to refute this testimony
by tomorrow,

294
00:10:47,336 --> 00:10:49,036
then this trial
is moving forward.

295
00:10:58,243 --> 00:10:59,810
Mr. Ross!

296
00:11:01,539 --> 00:11:02,783
If you've got anything
to say to us,

297
00:11:02,807 --> 00:11:03,951
you're going to have to say it
to Nathan, too.

298
00:11:03,975 --> 00:11:06,109
I get it, you're the guy
from the big firm

299
00:11:06,144 --> 00:11:07,622
who comes in to finish
what they couldn't.

300
00:11:07,646 --> 00:11:09,123
But as soon as you get bored
and walk away,

301
00:11:09,147 --> 00:11:10,224
I'm going to
litigate circles around them.

302
00:11:10,248 --> 00:11:11,258
Go ahead and give it a shot.

303
00:11:11,282 --> 00:11:12,515
Here's the thing,
Mr. Collins.

304
00:11:12,550 --> 00:11:15,218
I don't get bored,
and I'm not going anywhere.

305
00:11:15,253 --> 00:11:17,320
You couldn't even make it
to court on time.

306
00:11:17,355 --> 00:11:18,866
You're serving your annual
pro Bono sentence.

307
00:11:18,890 --> 00:11:20,101
You can't wait
for this to be over.

308
00:11:20,125 --> 00:11:22,191
You don't know shit about me.

309
00:11:22,227 --> 00:11:23,827
These guys were there
when I needed them,

310
00:11:23,862 --> 00:11:26,095
which means I'm going
to stick with them forever.

311
00:11:26,131 --> 00:11:28,364
Then what do you say
we settle this thing right now?

312
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,766
Not interested.

313
00:11:29,801 --> 00:11:31,300
Come on, there's got to be
a number.

314
00:11:31,336 --> 00:11:33,291
I'm sure there is,
and when you find it,

315
00:11:33,292 --> 00:11:35,459
you can bring it
to us tomorrow.

316
00:11:35,494 --> 00:11:38,261
But in the meantime, we've got
a class action to prepare for.

317
00:11:38,297 --> 00:11:39,830
Fine.

318
00:11:39,865 --> 00:11:41,443
I'll meet you at your office
tomorrow at 10.
319
00:11:41,467 --> 00:11:43,867
Make it 9, and at the clinic.

320
00:11:43,902 --> 00:11:46,503
Oh, and Mr. Collins,
you better be on time,

321
00:11:46,538 --> 00:11:47,804
and it better be good.

322
00:11:50,542 --> 00:11:53,310
Mike, what are you doing
playing chicken with this guy?

323
00:11:53,345 --> 00:11:55,712
He's ready to settle.
- You know what I'm doing.

324
00:11:56,269 --> 00:11:58,080
The less interested he thinks
we are in settling,

325
00:11:58,104 --> 00:11:59,414
the higher the number goes.
- Then why didn't you at least

326
00:11:59,438 --> 00:12:00,449
let him meet you
at your office?

327
00:12:00,473 --> 00:12:01,839
Use the big guns
to intimidate him.

328
00:12:01,874 --> 00:12:04,875
Because he knows we'll never
throw our resources at this.

329
00:12:04,911 --> 00:12:06,355
Well, in case you haven't
been paying attention,

330
00:12:06,379 --> 00:12:07,779
we don't have
the resources, either.

331
00:12:07,813 --> 00:12:09,947
I know that, Oliver.
He doesn't.

332
00:12:11,551 --> 00:12:13,317
Now, come on,
here's what I need you to do.

333
00:12:15,955 --> 00:12:18,689
Hey, you have a minute?

334
00:12:18,724 --> 00:12:20,824
Not really,
because I know why you're here.

335
00:12:20,860 --> 00:12:22,226
No, you don't.

336
00:12:22,261 --> 00:12:23,794
You're here
because Louis sent you

337
00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:26,297
to get me to make Scottie
retract that statement.

338
00:12:26,332 --> 00:12:28,065
Okay, maybe you do know
why I'm here.

339
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:29,733
But Louis
didn't send me, Harvey.

340
00:12:29,769 --> 00:12:31,535
I volunteered.
- Donna.

341
00:12:31,924 --> 00:12:34,124
Nothing I say is going
to make her take it back.

342
00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:35,659
You don't know that.

343
00:12:35,694 --> 00:12:37,827
And if anybody
can make her do it, it's you.

344
00:12:37,863 --> 00:12:39,796
Why, because I have
history with her?

345
00:12:39,831 --> 00:12:41,409
Of course because
you have history with her.

346
00:12:41,433 --> 00:12:42,766
Well, maybe I don't
want it to be

347
00:12:42,801 --> 00:12:44,757
that every time
I have to go to Scottie,

348
00:12:44,758 --> 00:12:46,858
it's to use our history
to get her to do something

349
00:12:46,893 --> 00:12:48,426
that she's not going
to want to do.

350
00:12:48,462 --> 00:12:50,595
Harvey, Scottie's
not the only person who

351
00:12:50,630 --> 00:12:52,731
every time you go to her,
you need something.

352
00:12:53,191 --> 00:12:55,236
She's just the only one who
makes you feel bad about it.

353
00:12:55,260 --> 00:12:57,004
Why the hell do you think
I don't want to go over there?

354
00:12:57,028 --> 00:12:59,139
To tell you the truth,
I don't really care why.

355
00:12:59,140 --> 00:13:00,573
Because this isn't
just about you.

356
00:13:00,608 --> 00:13:02,375
This is about
keeping this place alive.

357
00:13:02,410 --> 00:13:05,044
- You think I don't know that?
- I think you do know that.

358
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,920
And I think you also know
if you don't do this,

359
00:13:06,948 --> 00:13:10,483
we're going to trial,
and we may not win.

360
00:13:10,518 --> 00:13:13,152
And by the way, if you didn't
have a history with Scottie,

361
00:13:13,188 --> 00:13:15,054
she never would have put us
in this position

362
00:13:15,090 --> 00:13:16,355
in the first place.

363
00:13:25,215 --> 00:13:29,351
Can't say I know many lawyers
who bike to work.

364
00:13:29,386 --> 00:13:31,186
Old habit.

365
00:13:31,221 --> 00:13:33,522
Helps me clear my head
before I start a new trial.

366
00:13:33,557 --> 00:13:36,525
Whatever it does,
I'd say it's working.

367
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:38,393
You were in the courtroom.
368
00:13:38,429 --> 00:13:40,762
Six rows back, three seats in.
- I was.

369
00:13:40,798 --> 00:13:42,297
Andy Forsyth.

370
00:13:42,332 --> 00:13:43,732
- Mike Ross.
- I know.

371
00:13:43,767 --> 00:13:46,701
In fact, you're the reason
I took a red-eye from Seattle.

372
00:13:46,737 --> 00:13:48,448
- Why'd you do that?
- Because I'm about to take on

373
00:13:48,472 --> 00:13:52,365
the largest health insurer
on the west coast,

374
00:13:52,366 --> 00:13:54,099
and I'm building
a firm of my own.

375
00:13:54,135 --> 00:13:56,313
And from that Times article,
you sound like the kind of guy

376
00:13:56,337 --> 00:13:57,603
I want as a partner.

377
00:13:57,638 --> 00:13:59,238
Well, if you really
read that article,

378
00:13:59,273 --> 00:14:01,240
you'd know I already
have a job.

379
00:14:01,275 --> 00:14:03,642
Not really looking to leave.
- Yeah, not yet.
380
00:14:04,079 --> 00:14:06,746
But it's inevitable.
- How is it inevitable?

381
00:14:06,781 --> 00:14:08,948
Because eventually, you're
going to be in a position

382
00:14:08,984 --> 00:14:11,484
where it's your job
to defend the indefensible.

383
00:14:11,749 --> 00:14:13,950
Look, I'm flattered,
but I'm in the middle

384
00:14:13,985 --> 00:14:15,563
of a case right now,
and the clinic that I'm

385
00:14:15,587 --> 00:14:17,853
partnered up with does not
have the resources.

386
00:14:17,889 --> 00:14:19,300
I'm sorry, but I'm not just
going to abandon them.

387
00:14:19,324 --> 00:14:20,923
You won't have to.

388
00:14:20,959 --> 00:14:22,843
You just put the fear of God
in the other side.

389
00:14:22,844 --> 00:14:24,154
They're going to want to settle
this thing by tomorrow.

390
00:14:24,178 --> 00:14:26,242
- And if they don't?
- Let me lay this out for you.

391
00:14:26,243 --> 00:14:28,811
I'm looking to start a firm
that takes on the big guys
392
00:14:28,846 --> 00:14:30,612
without relying on funding
from anyone.

393
00:14:30,648 --> 00:14:32,881
This is the case that's going
to make that happen.

394
00:14:32,917 --> 00:14:35,517
And when it's over, I want
someone to run the place.

395
00:14:35,553 --> 00:14:38,987
And that person is you.
And before you say anything,

396
00:14:39,023 --> 00:14:42,091
Rachel Zane can run it
right by your side.

397
00:14:44,295 --> 00:14:46,829
But I need a yes, soon.

398
00:14:46,864 --> 00:14:50,032
Or I need to move on.

399
00:14:50,249 --> 00:14:53,917
I'm staying at the Carlyle.
You have 48 hours.

400
00:14:58,522 --> 00:15:00,889
Hell of a view.

401
00:15:00,924 --> 00:15:02,424
Hard to believe working for me

402
00:15:02,459 --> 00:15:03,925
almost kept you
from getting it.

403
00:15:03,961 --> 00:15:05,760
Hello to you too, Harvey.

404
00:15:05,796 --> 00:15:08,296
If you're here in person,
Stanley Gordon must really
405
00:15:08,332 --> 00:15:10,098
have you by the balls.

406
00:15:10,323 --> 00:15:12,791
- You know about the suit.
- He called looking to get me

407
00:15:12,826 --> 00:15:13,903
to throw you under the bus
three weeks ago.

408
00:15:13,927 --> 00:15:16,376
I told him I didn't have
anything to say.

409
00:15:16,377 --> 00:15:18,010
That's funny,
because he's using you

410
00:15:18,046 --> 00:15:21,047
to make his case anyway.
- What are you talking about?

411
00:15:21,082 --> 00:15:22,681
I'm talking about
a closing statement

412
00:15:22,717 --> 00:15:25,551
you made in court
six months ago.

413
00:15:31,954 --> 00:15:33,253
Well, shit.

414
00:15:33,289 --> 00:15:34,821
Scottie, why would
you say that?

415
00:15:34,857 --> 00:15:36,468
The other side was attacking
my credibility,

416
00:15:36,492 --> 00:15:38,292
and I had to appeal
to the jury.
417
00:15:38,327 --> 00:15:39,738
And I'm not going
to apologize for it.

418
00:15:39,762 --> 00:15:41,295
Apologize for it?
It's not even true.

419
00:15:41,330 --> 00:15:42,596
Yes it is.

420
00:15:43,051 --> 00:15:44,651
How the hell
were you damaged?

421
00:15:44,686 --> 00:15:46,431
You're a name partner here.
- That doesn't mean

422
00:15:46,455 --> 00:15:48,688
that I haven't suffered from
my association with you.

423
00:15:48,724 --> 00:15:50,590
Oh, bullshit.
I know you.

424
00:15:50,625 --> 00:15:52,492
I know you'll say anything
you have to to win,

425
00:15:52,527 --> 00:15:55,128
and that's what you did.
- So what if I did?

426
00:15:55,163 --> 00:15:58,031
You know what.

427
00:15:58,066 --> 00:16:00,400
No, I don't.

428
00:16:00,435 --> 00:16:03,516
Because if you are asking me
to get up on a stand

429
00:16:03,517 --> 00:16:04,828
and tell a jury
that when I try a case,

430
00:16:04,852 --> 00:16:07,352
I am full of shit, then must
you be out of your mind.

431
00:16:07,388 --> 00:16:08,820
Scottie,
I am in trouble here.

432
00:16:08,856 --> 00:16:11,957
I need you to help me.
It is my firm now.

433
00:16:11,992 --> 00:16:14,059
If it goes down
after I took it over--

434
00:16:14,094 --> 00:16:15,894
I understand that, Harvey.

435
00:16:15,929 --> 00:16:17,929
But I didn't get you
into this mess, you did.

436
00:16:17,965 --> 00:16:19,642
And I'm not going to put
my career on the line

437
00:16:19,666 --> 00:16:21,767
to get you out of it.
- Scottie--

438
00:16:21,802 --> 00:16:23,435
I'm sorry, Harvey.

439
00:16:23,470 --> 00:16:26,171
But I've said yes to you
too many times.

440
00:16:28,175 --> 00:16:30,041
You know what?
I'm sorry I asked.

441
00:16:35,491 --> 00:16:36,790
Hey.
442
00:16:36,825 --> 00:16:38,625
Hey.

443
00:16:38,660 --> 00:16:40,494
Want to go out
and grab a bite to eat?

444
00:16:40,529 --> 00:16:42,963
Oh, I can't.
I got to prepare

445
00:16:42,998 --> 00:16:44,898
for this settlement meeting
in the morning.

446
00:16:44,933 --> 00:16:46,867
For the class action?
Wait, that's great.

447
00:16:46,902 --> 00:16:48,902
Nothing about this case
is great.

448
00:16:52,207 --> 00:16:56,042
Look at these kids, Rachel.

449
00:16:56,078 --> 00:17:00,347
It's just one after another.

450
00:17:00,382 --> 00:17:03,116
Aw, she's just a baby.

451
00:17:03,152 --> 00:17:05,752
She's three.

452
00:17:05,787 --> 00:17:09,489
They already know she's got
cognitive damage from the lead.

453
00:17:09,525 --> 00:17:13,460
- This is heartbreaking.
- It's so unfair.

454
00:17:13,495 --> 00:17:16,363
The worst part is,
even if we win,

455
00:17:16,398 --> 00:17:18,532
money's not going to cure her.

456
00:17:18,567 --> 00:17:20,800
Or any of these other kids.

457
00:17:20,836 --> 00:17:24,237
Well, you're helping them
the best way that you can.

458
00:17:24,761 --> 00:17:27,662
Am I?

459
00:17:27,697 --> 00:17:30,498
Hey.

460
00:17:30,533 --> 00:17:32,700
What's going on?

461
00:17:32,735 --> 00:17:35,569
I got a job offer today.

462
00:17:35,605 --> 00:17:37,104
Okay.

463
00:17:37,140 --> 00:17:40,975
What does that have to do
with any of this?

464
00:17:41,010 --> 00:17:43,444
The guy who offered it to me
is opening up a practice

465
00:17:43,479 --> 00:17:46,447
dedicated to doing
this kind of work.

466
00:17:46,482 --> 00:17:49,517
It's like a clinic,
but with big firm money.

467
00:17:49,552 --> 00:17:51,686
Hmm.
468
00:17:51,721 --> 00:17:54,288
And he wants us to run it.

469
00:17:55,825 --> 00:17:59,293
Us?
He asked for us to do it?

470
00:17:59,328 --> 00:18:00,828
Yeah.

471
00:18:03,266 --> 00:18:06,901
Well, what if I told you
I'd consider it?

472
00:18:06,936 --> 00:18:08,335
That's...

473
00:18:08,371 --> 00:18:11,372
No, that's not the point.
It's in Seattle.

474
00:18:11,407 --> 00:18:12,773
He wants an answer
in two days.

475
00:18:12,809 --> 00:18:14,842
We can't do it.

476
00:18:14,877 --> 00:18:17,578
It just got to me, that's all.

477
00:18:20,238 --> 00:18:22,972
Then go in there tomorrow

478
00:18:24,411 --> 00:18:26,912
and use whatever
this did to you

479
00:18:26,947 --> 00:18:30,582
to get those families the most
that you possibly can.

480
00:18:30,617 --> 00:18:33,418
Because, Mike, we're going
to have children someday.
481
00:18:33,454 --> 00:18:35,187
And I don't want them
to live in a world

482
00:18:35,222 --> 00:18:36,722
where things like this happen.

483
00:18:44,197 --> 00:18:46,665
Make yourself at home.

484
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:47,733
What'd she say?

485
00:18:47,768 --> 00:18:49,935
She said she's not going
to testify for us.

486
00:18:49,970 --> 00:18:53,572
So you mean they get
to enter that statement

487
00:18:53,607 --> 00:18:54,539
she made in court,
and there's nothing

488
00:18:54,575 --> 00:18:56,541
we can do to counter it?
- Yeah.

489
00:18:56,577 --> 00:19:01,079
That's what I mean.
- Well then, we're fucked.

490
00:19:01,115 --> 00:19:03,448
Because that right there
is proof that

491
00:19:03,484 --> 00:19:05,951
they were damaged by our firm.
- Louis--

492
00:19:05,986 --> 00:19:07,719
She was a partner
just as much as they were,

493
00:19:07,755 --> 00:19:09,032
and there's nothing
that we can say

494
00:19:09,056 --> 00:19:13,391
that's going to change that.

495
00:19:14,365 --> 00:19:17,066
- No, she wasn't.
- What are you talking about?

496
00:19:17,101 --> 00:19:21,170
Louis, Scottie wasn't a
partner as much as they were.

497
00:19:21,205 --> 00:19:22,571
She's not part of the class,

498
00:19:22,606 --> 00:19:24,840
and she left
way before any of them.

499
00:19:24,875 --> 00:19:27,476
And even if we stipulate
that she was hurt by us,

500
00:19:27,511 --> 00:19:29,411
that doesn't prove they were.
- I get it.

501
00:19:30,156 --> 00:19:33,257
We need to show if these guys
aren't succeeding,

502
00:19:33,292 --> 00:19:34,925
it's not our fault.
It's theirs.

503
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,360
Exactly.

504
00:19:36,395 --> 00:19:38,829
And I know just the man
to help us do it.

505
00:19:45,553 --> 00:19:48,722
I hope you don't mind.
Sylvia told me I could come in.
506
00:19:49,108 --> 00:19:50,507
I assume you're here
to ask me

507
00:19:50,542 --> 00:19:52,909
about your old partners
suing you.

508
00:19:52,945 --> 00:19:54,144
You know the whole story?

509
00:19:54,179 --> 00:19:56,680
I know they're looking
for their share of the pie,

510
00:19:56,715 --> 00:19:58,526
and I know you're not here
to get me to try to stop them,

511
00:19:58,550 --> 00:20:00,070
because I can't.
- I know that, Robert.

512
00:20:00,531 --> 00:20:02,064
But--
- I don't think you do.

513
00:20:02,099 --> 00:20:04,166
I don't think you understand
what's happened

514
00:20:04,201 --> 00:20:06,602
to my reputation here.
- What are you talking about?

515
00:20:06,637 --> 00:20:09,438
I bailed you out
with Bratton Gould,

516
00:20:09,473 --> 00:20:11,173
and then again
on that prison case.

517
00:20:11,208 --> 00:20:14,410
I help you out with this, well,
I might as well just move in.
518
00:20:14,445 --> 00:20:16,879
Because no one here
will ever trust me again.

519
00:20:16,914 --> 00:20:20,049
All I need is access
to their performance reviews.

520
00:20:20,084 --> 00:20:23,285
Are you out of your mind?
Those are confidential.

521
00:20:23,321 --> 00:20:26,288
And we both know I can have
them subpoenaed if I have to.

522
00:20:26,324 --> 00:20:27,856
Well then, do that.
I can't afford

523
00:20:27,892 --> 00:20:29,503
to look complicit with you,
no matter how much

524
00:20:29,527 --> 00:20:30,893
you play that tiny violin.

525
00:20:30,928 --> 00:20:33,495
This isn't
a tiny violin, Robert.

526
00:20:33,531 --> 00:20:36,231
This lawsuit could burn my firm
to the ground.

527
00:20:40,204 --> 00:20:43,372
All right.

528
00:20:43,407 --> 00:20:45,240
There is one way.

529
00:20:45,774 --> 00:20:47,273
But it needs to happen tonight,

530
00:20:47,309 --> 00:20:49,642
while I'm having dinner
with Rand and Kaldor.

531
00:20:49,678 --> 00:20:51,377
What is it?

532
00:20:55,717 --> 00:20:58,551
Mr. Collins.
We appreciate the punctuality.

533
00:20:58,587 --> 00:21:00,086
What are all these people
doing here?

534
00:21:00,122 --> 00:21:01,955
This is supposed to be
a settlement meeting.

535
00:21:01,990 --> 00:21:03,790
Well, we thought before
we heard your offer,

536
00:21:03,825 --> 00:21:06,025
we'd show you
what you up against.

537
00:21:06,061 --> 00:21:07,827
And you don't think
Discharge Power

538
00:21:07,863 --> 00:21:10,630
can afford an army of its own?
- No, I'm sure they can.

539
00:21:11,068 --> 00:21:12,635
But unlike yours,
every one of my people

540
00:21:12,670 --> 00:21:16,272
is prepared to shed blood
for this case.

541
00:21:16,307 --> 00:21:17,907
Then maybe this
will keep them

542
00:21:17,942 --> 00:21:20,442
from shedding anything at all.

543
00:21:28,209 --> 00:21:29,642
What the hell are you doing?

544
00:21:29,677 --> 00:21:32,368
This is less than $60,000
per family.

545
00:21:32,369 --> 00:21:33,836
Which is a hell
of a lot of money

546
00:21:33,871 --> 00:21:35,537
for lead poisoning
we knew nothing about.

547
00:21:35,573 --> 00:21:37,539
Bullshit, your people knew
what was going on here.

548
00:21:37,575 --> 00:21:39,274
And you have
no proof of that.

549
00:21:39,310 --> 00:21:41,221
This is a list of children
pulled from the school

550
00:21:41,245 --> 00:21:44,479
within the first six months
of the plant opening.

551
00:21:44,515 --> 00:21:46,748
You want to take a guess
what they have in common?

552
00:21:46,784 --> 00:21:49,685
Their parents are all
executives at Discharge Power.

553
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,687
So don't try to tell us
that no one knew.

554
00:21:51,722 --> 00:21:54,056
Where did you get that?
555
00:21:54,091 --> 00:21:58,527
Is that how you're going
to counter in front of a jury?

556
00:21:58,562 --> 00:22:00,863
$100,000 a family, that's the
best you're going to do.

557
00:22:00,898 --> 00:22:01,930
- No, it isn't.
- Mike--

558
00:22:01,966 --> 00:22:03,532
No, these are children.

559
00:22:03,567 --> 00:22:05,033
We have the resources,
and this isn't

560
00:22:05,069 --> 00:22:06,246
going to go down like this,
so why don't you

561
00:22:06,270 --> 00:22:08,303
go back to your masters
and tell them

562
00:22:08,339 --> 00:22:10,372
that unless they want
to be exposed to the world,

563
00:22:10,407 --> 00:22:12,541
they're going to need
to add some more zeroes.

564
00:22:12,576 --> 00:22:16,578
- We're never going to do that.
- You can, and you will.

565
00:22:16,614 --> 00:22:18,847
Now get out of my face.

566
00:22:24,497 --> 00:22:26,597
My office, now.

567
00:22:35,541 --> 00:22:38,142
God damn it.
What the hell did you do?

568
00:22:38,177 --> 00:22:39,677
What do you mean,
what did I do?

569
00:22:39,712 --> 00:22:41,719
It was a good cop, bad cop.
That was the plan.

570
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,219
No, the plan was to close
in the room.

571
00:22:43,254 --> 00:22:45,088
Not blow the whole thing up
for some number

572
00:22:45,123 --> 00:22:47,134
they're never going to go for.
- Nathan, they'll come back.

573
00:22:47,158 --> 00:22:47,924
What the hell
is wrong with you?

574
00:22:47,959 --> 00:22:49,459
What's wrong with me?

575
00:22:49,494 --> 00:22:51,127
Those kids are going
to be fucked up

576
00:22:51,162 --> 00:22:52,973
for the rest of their lives,
and you seem to care more

577
00:22:52,997 --> 00:22:55,009
about closing in the room than
getting them the best deal.

578
00:22:55,033 --> 00:22:56,999
Did you not hear me
when I first came to you?

579
00:22:57,035 --> 00:22:59,135
I needed money,
because if this goes to trial,

580
00:22:59,170 --> 00:23:00,981
we are out of business.
- Nathan, it's not going

581
00:23:01,005 --> 00:23:02,638
to go to trial.

582
00:23:02,674 --> 00:23:04,452
And the only thing
that's going to stop this guy

583
00:23:04,476 --> 00:23:06,554
from tripling that offer
is if you don't have the balls

584
00:23:06,578 --> 00:23:09,912
to wait it out.

585
00:23:10,591 --> 00:23:12,657
Nathan, look,
I know you got into this

586
00:23:12,693 --> 00:23:14,326
because you care
about these people,

587
00:23:14,361 --> 00:23:15,927
and you're a good man
for doing it.

588
00:23:15,963 --> 00:23:19,131
But you need to trust me.
I know what I'm doing.

589
00:23:19,166 --> 00:23:22,501
All I'm asking is that you
just wait one day.

590
00:23:24,938 --> 00:23:27,572
Okay, Mike.

591
00:23:27,608 --> 00:23:29,141
One day.
592
00:23:34,201 --> 00:23:35,778
Harvey, if this is about
the Bartlett case,

593
00:23:35,802 --> 00:23:37,569
I have already made plans
to work late.

594
00:23:37,604 --> 00:23:39,437
I'm here to tell you
to leave early

595
00:23:39,473 --> 00:23:42,307
to get to your parent's house
for your mom's chicken piccata.

596
00:23:42,342 --> 00:23:44,609
It's Wednesday.
My mom makes lasagna.

597
00:23:44,644 --> 00:23:46,911
I don't care if she's making
cow-shit soufflé.

598
00:23:46,947 --> 00:23:48,613
I need you
to get to that dinner,

599
00:23:48,648 --> 00:23:50,482
and look through
your father's files.

600
00:23:50,942 --> 00:23:53,309
With all due respect,
I'm not in the habit

601
00:23:53,344 --> 00:23:55,356
of going through my father's
things without him knowing.

602
00:23:55,380 --> 00:23:58,214
Then you don't have to worry,
because he does know.

603
00:23:58,249 --> 00:24:00,149
Harvey, what's going on?
604
00:24:00,185 --> 00:24:03,286
Stanley Gordon's suing us
on behalf of our ex-partners

605
00:24:03,321 --> 00:24:05,154
claiming that their time
at Pearson Specter

606
00:24:05,190 --> 00:24:06,722
hurt their careers.
- I get it.

607
00:24:06,758 --> 00:24:08,726
And some of those partners
work for my dad,

608
00:24:08,727 --> 00:24:10,539
and he wants to help us prove
that it's not true,

609
00:24:10,563 --> 00:24:12,563
but he doesn't want
to be seen doing it.

610
00:24:12,904 --> 00:24:14,014
Which is why
he's going to leave

611
00:24:14,038 --> 00:24:15,972
their performance reviews out.

612
00:24:16,007 --> 00:24:17,785
And you're going to tell me
exactly what they say.

613
00:24:17,809 --> 00:24:19,108
Well then,
I'd better get going.

614
00:24:19,144 --> 00:24:21,511
Because you might not care,
but my mom's lasagna?

615
00:24:21,546 --> 00:24:23,012
It's the best you've ever had.
616
00:24:27,619 --> 00:24:29,585
Hey, what's going on?
Oliver told me to come in,

617
00:24:29,621 --> 00:24:31,154
but he didn't give me a reason.

618
00:24:33,158 --> 00:24:35,658
Where is everyone?
- I sent them home.

619
00:24:35,693 --> 00:24:37,293
What?
Why?

620
00:24:37,328 --> 00:24:38,861
We lost our funding.

621
00:24:38,897 --> 00:24:40,897
What the hell
are you talking about?

622
00:24:40,932 --> 00:24:43,166
Discharge Power called our
five biggest angel investors,

623
00:24:43,201 --> 00:24:45,301
and got them
to pull their funding.

624
00:24:46,131 --> 00:24:47,931
So we're shut down.
- They can't do that.

625
00:24:47,967 --> 00:24:49,933
They just did it.

626
00:24:51,570 --> 00:24:53,270
Oh, my God.
I don't believe this.

627
00:24:53,305 --> 00:24:56,673
Well, you should believe it,
because it's game over.

628
00:24:57,049 --> 00:24:58,381
The clinic, the case,
everything.

629
00:24:58,709 --> 00:25:00,308
Nathan, you can't
just roll over.

630
00:25:00,344 --> 00:25:01,888
As long as your lights are on,
I'm sure you've got people

631
00:25:01,912 --> 00:25:03,311
who are willing
to work on this--

632
00:25:03,347 --> 00:25:04,980
Our charter
doesn't allow it, okay?

633
00:25:05,015 --> 00:25:07,182
And you can't work here,
either, so just go.

634
00:25:07,217 --> 00:25:09,050
Go back to PSL, or SL,
or whatever the hell

635
00:25:09,086 --> 00:25:10,897
you call the place
that teaches you to turn down

636
00:25:10,921 --> 00:25:13,099
multi-million dollar offers.
- You think this is my fault?

637
00:25:13,123 --> 00:25:16,024
It's not, Nathan, it's theirs,
and that monster of a lawyer

638
00:25:16,059 --> 00:25:17,325
that they've got--

639
00:25:17,361 --> 00:25:18,994
I don't care
whose fault it is.

640
00:25:19,029 --> 00:25:21,563
If that offer is still
on the table, I am taking it.

641
00:25:21,564 --> 00:25:23,008
Because it's the only way
that we're going to be able

642
00:25:23,032 --> 00:25:25,058
to get our funding back.
- Nathan, you go back

643
00:25:25,059 --> 00:25:25,992
to Collins now,
you're going to be lucky to get

644
00:25:26,027 --> 00:25:27,960
ten cents on the dollar.

645
00:25:27,996 --> 00:25:29,073
Then I'll get ten cents
on the dollar.

646
00:25:29,097 --> 00:25:31,230
Would you wait a minute
and listen to me?

647
00:25:31,266 --> 00:25:34,066
Because I am trying to help--
- I am done listening to you!

648
00:25:34,102 --> 00:25:36,068
Go!

649
00:25:36,104 --> 00:25:37,670
And stay the hell
out of this case.

650
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:52,893
Mike, hey, this is great.
I didn't think I'd see you--

651
00:25:52,917 --> 00:25:54,183
What the fuck did you do?

652
00:25:55,109 --> 00:25:56,153
What the hell
are you talking about?
653
00:25:56,177 --> 00:25:57,556
I didn't do anything.
- Bullshit.

654
00:25:57,557 --> 00:25:58,813
You cut the clinic's
funding off

655
00:25:58,814 --> 00:26:00,659
because I told you
they didn't have the resources.

656
00:26:00,683 --> 00:26:02,309
I have no idea
what you're talking about.

657
00:26:02,310 --> 00:26:04,163
You're going to deny
that up until nine months ago,

658
00:26:04,164 --> 00:26:06,764
you worked for the firm that
represented the parent company

659
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,310
of that battery plant?
- I worked there,

660
00:26:08,334 --> 00:26:10,068
and I hated it.
It's why I left.

661
00:26:10,103 --> 00:26:11,681
And if that were the truth,
you would have said something

662
00:26:11,705 --> 00:26:13,938
the first time we met,
but you didn't.

663
00:26:13,973 --> 00:26:15,518
No, you told me they were
going to offer me a job.

664
00:26:15,542 --> 00:26:16,619
You gave me a reason
to take it,

665
00:26:16,643 --> 00:26:18,376
and then when I
didn't jump on it,

666
00:26:18,411 --> 00:26:20,278
you put people that I
care about out of work.

667
00:26:20,313 --> 00:26:22,080
I didn't do shit
to that clinic.

668
00:26:22,115 --> 00:26:23,726
You're being paranoid.
- I'm being paranoid, really?

669
00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:25,494
And what's more likely?
That I'm being paranoid,

670
00:26:25,518 --> 00:26:27,118
or that you appeared
out of nowhere

671
00:26:27,153 --> 00:26:29,387
to offer me
some magical opportunity

672
00:26:29,422 --> 00:26:31,856
the day before
we lose our funding?

673
00:26:31,891 --> 00:26:33,035
You are making a big mistake.

674
00:26:33,059 --> 00:26:34,625
I need you
to stay the hell away

675
00:26:34,661 --> 00:26:37,361
from me, the clinic,
and this case.

676
00:26:53,969 --> 00:26:56,002
Harvey,
what are you doing here?

677
00:26:56,037 --> 00:26:57,582
I'm here to give you
your performance review.

678
00:26:57,606 --> 00:26:59,839
- I don't work for you.
- No, but you're going to

679
00:26:59,875 --> 00:27:03,576
answer to me when
I put you on the stand.

680
00:27:03,612 --> 00:27:05,412
Read it.

681
00:27:08,150 --> 00:27:11,050
When I read it, I don't
see a man that was held back

682
00:27:11,086 --> 00:27:13,453
because his old firm
had a bad reputation.

683
00:27:13,488 --> 00:27:16,156
I see a man that
reached his limitation.

684
00:27:16,191 --> 00:27:17,924
Everyone knew it,
except for him,

685
00:27:17,959 --> 00:27:20,236
and now, he's looking
for someone to blame.

686
00:27:20,237 --> 00:27:22,737
- I didn't bring this suit.
- I don't care, because as far

687
00:27:22,772 --> 00:27:25,044
as they're concerned,
you're the leader of the band.

688
00:27:25,045 --> 00:27:26,845
Which means
you're the first one up.

689
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,580
You must want something.

690
00:27:28,615 --> 00:27:30,193
Because you didn't
come all the way down here

691
00:27:30,217 --> 00:27:31,761
just to tell me
you're going to humiliate me.

692
00:27:31,785 --> 00:27:33,885
I'm here to
give you a chance.

693
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,554
Get Gordon and the rest of them
to back off,

694
00:27:36,590 --> 00:27:38,835
and this never sees
the light of day.

695
00:27:38,836 --> 00:27:41,270
If not, you're going
on the stand tomorrow,

696
00:27:41,305 --> 00:27:43,138
because I'm telling you,
there's no way

697
00:27:43,174 --> 00:27:46,408
I am letting them use you
or Scottie or anybody else

698
00:27:46,444 --> 00:27:48,377
to take my firm from me.

699
00:27:55,060 --> 00:27:56,938
Please tell me you didn't
go back to see Collins.

700
00:27:56,962 --> 00:27:58,294
You know, I tried.
701
00:27:58,330 --> 00:28:00,597
He wouldn't give me the
time of day.

702
00:28:00,632 --> 00:28:02,065
Good.

703
00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:04,500
Good?

704
00:28:04,536 --> 00:28:05,947
My only chance
to keep this place alive

705
00:28:05,971 --> 00:28:09,372
is to dump this thing,
beg our donors to come back,

706
00:28:09,407 --> 00:28:10,974
and accept that
these kids get nothing.

707
00:28:11,009 --> 00:28:14,010
- No, it isn't.
- What are you talking about?

708
00:28:15,580 --> 00:28:17,814
I got a job offer yesterday.

709
00:28:18,208 --> 00:28:20,041
This guy said
he's starting a firm

710
00:28:20,077 --> 00:28:23,511
dedicated to doing
the kinds of cases we do now.

711
00:28:23,547 --> 00:28:25,425
Well, if you came to me
for advice, I'd say take it.

712
00:28:25,449 --> 00:28:28,249
It's not about...

713
00:28:28,285 --> 00:28:30,986
Nathan, he's the one that
got the donors to pull out.

714
00:28:31,021 --> 00:28:32,687
- What?
- He used to work

715
00:28:32,723 --> 00:28:35,490
for Porter Lofton, and
this whole thing was a ploy.

716
00:28:36,424 --> 00:28:37,835
So you're here to tell me
you got played?

717
00:28:37,859 --> 00:28:39,403
No, I'm here to tell you
that even though

718
00:28:39,427 --> 00:28:42,862
that job was bullshit,
the idea is a good one.

719
00:28:42,898 --> 00:28:43,975
You want to
start a firm like that?

720
00:28:43,999 --> 00:28:46,299
I want you
to start a firm like that.

721
00:28:46,334 --> 00:28:49,068
Instead of begging donors
to keep you alive,

722
00:28:49,104 --> 00:28:50,937
just let your
non-profit status go.

723
00:28:50,972 --> 00:28:52,850
- Why would I do that?
- Because then, you'd have

724
00:28:52,874 --> 00:28:54,007
no cap on your fees.

725
00:28:54,042 --> 00:28:56,142
You could make enough
from this one case

726
00:28:56,177 --> 00:28:57,188
to get these families
what they deserve,

727
00:28:57,212 --> 00:28:59,445
and keep yourself
running for years.

728
00:28:59,481 --> 00:29:02,215
Mike, this clinic
has meant everything to me.

729
00:29:02,398 --> 00:29:05,132
I spent 11 years running it.
I'm not about to let it die

730
00:29:05,168 --> 00:29:08,536
based on a gamble.
- It's not a gamble if you win.

731
00:29:08,896 --> 00:29:11,697
I will help you.
Oliver will help you.

732
00:29:11,732 --> 00:29:13,899
And then, when it's over,
nobody will ever be able

733
00:29:13,934 --> 00:29:15,334
to force you
to abandon a client

734
00:29:15,369 --> 00:29:17,302
by cutting off your wallet
ever again.

735
00:29:17,493 --> 00:29:19,471
Even if I could say yes,
you're forgetting the reason

736
00:29:19,495 --> 00:29:21,361
I came to you
in the first place.

737
00:29:21,397 --> 00:29:23,297
You need money.

738
00:29:23,332 --> 00:29:24,965
We don't have anywhere
near enough

739
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,600
to even see this to trial.

740
00:29:26,635 --> 00:29:28,268
How much do you need?

741
00:29:28,304 --> 00:29:30,037
- To float the whole firm?
- Yes.

742
00:29:30,072 --> 00:29:33,440
Half a million dollars.

743
00:29:34,236 --> 00:29:35,202
I'll get you the money.

744
00:29:39,344 --> 00:29:41,577
Scottie, if you're here
because you've been subpoenaed,

745
00:29:41,612 --> 00:29:42,945
I've got something
in the works.

746
00:29:42,981 --> 00:29:44,714
I haven't been subpoenaed,
Harvey.

747
00:29:44,749 --> 00:29:48,317
That's not why I'm here.
- Then why are you here?

748
00:29:48,353 --> 00:29:51,787
To say that I'm sorry.

749
00:29:51,823 --> 00:29:54,890
I don't want to see you
lose your firm, Harvey.

750
00:29:55,602 --> 00:29:57,468
I care about you.

751
00:29:57,504 --> 00:30:02,507
I always have, I always will.
And I just wanted to say that.

752
00:30:02,542 --> 00:30:04,342
And?

753
00:30:04,377 --> 00:30:06,277
And what?

754
00:30:06,312 --> 00:30:10,081
You didn't come all the way
down here just to tell me that.

755
00:30:11,117 --> 00:30:13,384
You don't make it easy,
do you?

756
00:30:15,422 --> 00:30:17,722
The last time
that we saw each other,

757
00:30:17,757 --> 00:30:21,859
you told me that you were
seeing someone about yourself.

758
00:30:21,895 --> 00:30:25,229
And you asked
if when you were done,

759
00:30:25,265 --> 00:30:26,998
could you call me.

760
00:30:27,033 --> 00:30:31,202
- I remember.
- Well, are you done?

761
00:30:31,237 --> 00:30:35,006
Did you fix yourself?

762
00:30:35,041 --> 00:30:38,309
Let's just say
I'm a work in progress.

763
00:30:39,286 --> 00:30:41,453
What does that mean?

764
00:30:43,090 --> 00:30:47,459
- You want the truth?
- Yes.

765
00:30:47,495 --> 00:30:51,130
A year after I stopped
with my therapist,

766
00:30:51,165 --> 00:30:53,666
I started seeing her.

767
00:30:53,701 --> 00:30:55,801
- A year?
- A year and three weeks.

768
00:30:59,407 --> 00:31:01,674
Three weeks longer
than the waiting period.

769
00:31:01,709 --> 00:31:04,276
I am a lawyer, after all.

770
00:31:04,311 --> 00:31:07,346
I'm guessing
it didn't work out.

771
00:31:07,381 --> 00:31:10,716
It didn't.
It was complicated.

772
00:31:10,751 --> 00:31:13,452
Did Donna have anything to do
with that complication?

773
00:31:13,487 --> 00:31:16,021
Why do you ask?

774
00:31:16,057 --> 00:31:18,223
That's all I needed to know.

775
00:31:21,237 --> 00:31:22,314
Sorry to interrupt,
but Harvey,
776
00:31:22,338 --> 00:31:24,171
Stanley Gordon's
in the conference room.

777
00:31:24,207 --> 00:31:25,639
He wants to see us both.

778
00:31:25,675 --> 00:31:28,442
Hi, Scottie.
- Louis.

779
00:31:31,514 --> 00:31:33,247
Good luck, Harvey.

780
00:31:39,683 --> 00:31:41,483
You know, I never liked
this conference room.

781
00:31:41,518 --> 00:31:43,785
Too much glass.
- What do you want, Stanley?

782
00:31:43,820 --> 00:31:45,787
We've got a trial
to prepare for.

783
00:31:45,822 --> 00:31:47,756
Nice job getting Soloff
to drop out.

784
00:31:47,791 --> 00:31:49,635
We did it with him,
we can do it with all of them.

785
00:31:49,659 --> 00:31:51,159
Maybe you can,
maybe you can't.

786
00:31:51,194 --> 00:31:52,372
One thing's for sure.
You don't have to.

787
00:31:52,396 --> 00:31:54,729
- Why not?
- Give them their jobs back.

788
00:31:54,765 --> 00:31:56,275
That's all they wanted
in the first place.

789
00:31:56,299 --> 00:31:57,732
- What?
- Give these guys

790
00:31:57,768 --> 00:31:59,934
their jobs back,
this whole thing goes away.

791
00:32:00,529 --> 00:32:02,362
- Bullshit.
- It's not bullshit.

792
00:32:02,397 --> 00:32:04,564
It's what they want.
- And what about what you want?

793
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,033
This whole thing was a setup
for you to get

794
00:32:07,069 --> 00:32:09,002
back behind the wheel
of Jessica's car.

795
00:32:09,037 --> 00:32:10,704
It's not Jessica's
goddamn car.

796
00:32:10,739 --> 00:32:12,038
it's mine.

797
00:32:12,543 --> 00:32:14,109
But that's not
what this is about.

798
00:32:14,144 --> 00:32:15,658
- I don't believe you.
- I don't care whether

799
00:32:15,659 --> 00:32:17,165
you believe me or not,
because that's the deal

800
00:32:17,166 --> 00:32:19,133
that's on the table.

801
00:32:19,168 --> 00:32:20,868
So you can
take your chances in court,

802
00:32:20,903 --> 00:32:22,347
or you can put this
in the rearview mirror

803
00:32:22,371 --> 00:32:23,849
right the hell now.
- Never going to happen.

804
00:32:23,873 --> 00:32:25,456
If it'll sweeten the deal
any, I'll put it in writing.

805
00:32:25,457 --> 00:32:28,124
Anyone tries to make me
a partner in the new firm,

806
00:32:28,159 --> 00:32:30,960
the deal's off,
and we walk away with nothing.

807
00:32:30,996 --> 00:32:33,663
Didn't expect that, did you?
I'm not like Jessica.

808
00:32:33,698 --> 00:32:36,332
I actually care about
the people I left behind.

809
00:32:36,368 --> 00:32:40,236
So take the deal, or don't.

810
00:32:40,271 --> 00:32:42,238
But with or without
Jack Soloff,

811
00:32:42,273 --> 00:32:43,539
we're going to trial.

812
00:32:56,660 --> 00:32:58,326
You look tired.
813
00:32:59,630 --> 00:33:02,130
Look, Donna, I don't want
to ask what I'm about to ask,

814
00:33:02,165 --> 00:33:04,232
but--

815
00:33:04,267 --> 00:33:07,202
I've got nowhere else to go.

816
00:33:07,237 --> 00:33:09,971
That doesn't sound good.

817
00:33:10,264 --> 00:33:12,664
I need you to back my request
for the firm to loan

818
00:33:12,699 --> 00:33:15,233
the clinic money against
its fee on my case.

819
00:33:15,269 --> 00:33:17,202
How much?

820
00:33:17,237 --> 00:33:19,804
- 500,000.
- What?

821
00:33:19,984 --> 00:33:21,850
Mike, that is never
going to fly with Harvey.

822
00:33:21,886 --> 00:33:24,353
I know that, which is why
I need you to make it fly.

823
00:33:24,388 --> 00:33:26,466
And I already helped you
by saying okay to this case

824
00:33:26,490 --> 00:33:28,728
when Harvey wasn't here.
I'm not going to double down

825
00:33:28,729 --> 00:33:30,697
on that by saying
we should give the clinic money

826
00:33:30,698 --> 00:33:32,031
at the worst possible time.

827
00:33:32,066 --> 00:33:33,210
Well, when exactly
is a good time?

828
00:33:33,234 --> 00:33:36,101
Never, because
we're a corporate law firm.

829
00:33:36,137 --> 00:33:37,748
We give them money, we might
as well tell our clients

830
00:33:37,772 --> 00:33:39,338
that they're
our second priority.

831
00:33:39,373 --> 00:33:41,206
I'm not talking
about an investment, Donna.

832
00:33:41,242 --> 00:33:43,342
I'm talking about a loan.
- And if you can't see

833
00:33:43,377 --> 00:33:46,912
that to the rest of the world,
there's no difference, then...

834
00:33:46,948 --> 00:33:50,516
- Then what?
- Then nothing.

835
00:33:50,551 --> 00:33:54,119
Does this have something
to do with me not being ready?

836
00:33:54,632 --> 00:33:56,765
- What?
- Harvey said I wasn't ready

837
00:33:56,801 --> 00:33:59,268
to be senior partner, but he
doesn't come to a conclusion

838
00:33:59,303 --> 00:34:02,571
like that without
running it by you first.

839
00:34:02,606 --> 00:34:04,406
Okay.

840
00:34:06,811 --> 00:34:08,911
Then yes, Mike.

841
00:34:09,413 --> 00:34:11,680
You not being able
to accept something like this

842
00:34:11,715 --> 00:34:14,550
is exactly what I meant
about you not being ready.

843
00:34:14,585 --> 00:34:16,385
I understand.

844
00:34:16,420 --> 00:34:19,855
And I know if Gordon wins,
then we might not even survive.

845
00:34:19,890 --> 00:34:23,258
But Donna, what is the point
of trying to survive

846
00:34:23,294 --> 00:34:25,761
if we can't
do something like this?

847
00:34:28,678 --> 00:34:30,556
I'm telling you, I've gone
through his financials,

848
00:34:30,580 --> 00:34:32,513
the partner's financials,
the by-laws.

849
00:34:32,549 --> 00:34:34,109
I haven't found
a goddamn thing.
850
00:34:34,110 --> 00:34:35,816
Then we keep looking
until we do.

851
00:34:35,817 --> 00:34:37,328
Harvey, has it
occurred to you it's possible

852
00:34:37,329 --> 00:34:38,539
that this isn't
the worst outcome in the world?

853
00:34:38,563 --> 00:34:42,232
Yeah, and I could also
get shot in the face.

854
00:34:42,267 --> 00:34:43,511
But that's not what
we're talking about right now.

855
00:34:43,535 --> 00:34:45,735
I'm saying, let Gordon think
he pressured us

856
00:34:45,770 --> 00:34:47,648
into taking those partners
back, because the truth is,

857
00:34:47,672 --> 00:34:49,117
we're a more powerful firm
if they're here.

858
00:34:49,141 --> 00:34:53,009
And you and I both know if
Stanley Gordon wants them back,

859
00:34:53,044 --> 00:34:55,078
he wants it for a reason,
and it sure as hell

860
00:34:55,113 --> 00:34:57,013
isn't to help us out.
- I have some information,

861
00:34:57,048 --> 00:34:58,214
but I don't know if it has
862
00:34:58,250 --> 00:34:59,649
anything to do
with this or not.

863
00:34:59,684 --> 00:35:00,850
What is it?

864
00:35:00,886 --> 00:35:03,253
Last week, when we
almost lost our lease,

865
00:35:03,288 --> 00:35:05,522
I did some checking
in case we had to move, and--

866
00:35:05,557 --> 00:35:07,457
Hold on, I'm sorry.
We almost lost our lease?

867
00:35:07,492 --> 00:35:08,736
That's not the point, Louis.
I took care of it.

868
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,760
The point is
there were three floors

869
00:35:10,795 --> 00:35:12,827
in Robert Zane's building
listed as vacant,

870
00:35:12,828 --> 00:35:14,795
but when I looked
into renting them,

871
00:35:14,830 --> 00:35:17,698
they were no longer available,
because as it turns out,

872
00:35:17,733 --> 00:35:19,700
Rand Kaldor Zane is expanding.

873
00:35:19,735 --> 00:35:21,134
- That can't be.
- Harvey's right.
874
00:35:21,170 --> 00:35:22,314
For those partners
to come back here,

875
00:35:22,338 --> 00:35:25,272
Zane would need
to waive their non-competes.

876
00:35:25,307 --> 00:35:27,441
Why would he do that at the
same time he's expanding?

877
00:35:27,476 --> 00:35:29,176
I don't know,
but three floors

878
00:35:29,211 --> 00:35:32,112
is exactly
how much space we use.

879
00:35:32,147 --> 00:35:33,280
Holy shit.

880
00:35:33,315 --> 00:35:35,449
Gordon really doesn't
want to take over.

881
00:35:35,484 --> 00:35:38,051
He just wants to orchestrate a
deal where his guys come back,

882
00:35:38,087 --> 00:35:40,954
they vote to merge with Zane,
and we cease to exist.

883
00:35:40,990 --> 00:35:43,557
That's not possible.
Our by-laws prevent that.

884
00:35:43,592 --> 00:35:45,325
No, Harvey, they don't.

885
00:35:45,361 --> 00:35:47,160
And I've been focusing
on the wrong thing.

886
00:35:47,196 --> 00:35:48,795
He doesn't need
to be managing partner

887
00:35:48,831 --> 00:35:50,964
for them to outvote us on this.

888
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,200
Harvey, if that's true,

889
00:35:53,235 --> 00:35:56,103
Zane would have to be in on it.

890
00:35:56,138 --> 00:35:57,871
Then I'm going
to go and find out.

891
00:36:00,708 --> 00:36:03,909
- Good work, Donna.
- Thanks, Louis.

892
00:36:04,879 --> 00:36:07,913
Listen, while we're here,
I have something

893
00:36:07,949 --> 00:36:09,548
I need to talk to you about.

894
00:36:17,858 --> 00:36:20,525
You must have known
I'd find out sooner or later.

895
00:36:20,999 --> 00:36:22,209
What the hell
are you talking about?

896
00:36:22,233 --> 00:36:23,544
I'm talking about your plan
to swallow us up,

897
00:36:23,568 --> 00:36:25,901
and you not being man enough
to do it in the open.

898
00:36:25,937 --> 00:36:27,503
You better
start making sense,
899
00:36:27,538 --> 00:36:29,116
or I'm going to drive you
to Bellevue myself.

900
00:36:29,140 --> 00:36:30,618
You're telling me you had
nothing to do with this?

901
00:36:30,642 --> 00:36:32,174
I don't goddamn
know what this is.

902
00:36:32,210 --> 00:36:34,844
Okay, I'll lay it out
for you.

903
00:36:34,879 --> 00:36:37,213
The second we released
that statement about Jessica,

904
00:36:37,248 --> 00:36:40,216
Stanley Gordon contacted you
with a side deal.

905
00:36:40,251 --> 00:36:42,018
He whipped up a lawsuit
to get his clients

906
00:36:42,053 --> 00:36:44,627
back into our house
so they can vote in favor

907
00:36:44,628 --> 00:36:45,894
of selling out to you.

908
00:36:45,930 --> 00:36:47,329
If I wanted
to swallow you up,

909
00:36:47,364 --> 00:36:50,165
I wouldn't just be man enough
to tell you to your face.

910
00:36:50,201 --> 00:36:52,134
I would be jumping out
of this chair to do it.
911
00:36:52,169 --> 00:36:54,336
Then why did you lock down
a five year lease

912
00:36:54,371 --> 00:36:57,806
on the three floors below you?

913
00:36:57,842 --> 00:37:00,209
That's your signature,
isn't it?

914
00:37:03,180 --> 00:37:05,280
God damn it.

915
00:37:05,659 --> 00:37:07,725
Did you know about this
and keep it from me?

916
00:37:07,761 --> 00:37:11,663
No, they kept it from me.

917
00:37:11,918 --> 00:37:15,787
- Who's they?
- Eric Kaldor and Ellen Rand.

918
00:37:15,822 --> 00:37:18,222
I just found out
that my two partners,

919
00:37:18,258 --> 00:37:20,091
who I've worked with
for 26 years,

920
00:37:20,126 --> 00:37:23,227
are willing
to stab me in the back.

921
00:37:23,263 --> 00:37:24,962
Look, I am sorry
I had to be the one

922
00:37:24,998 --> 00:37:27,965
to break it to you, Robert.

923
00:37:28,001 --> 00:37:30,368
But you better
get your house in order.

924
00:37:30,403 --> 00:37:33,104
Because now,
I have to protect mine.

925
00:37:42,763 --> 00:37:44,530
Bullshit.

926
00:37:44,565 --> 00:37:48,434
- What?
- Bullshit.

927
00:37:48,469 --> 00:37:50,536
I want to talk
about the job offer,

928
00:37:50,571 --> 00:37:52,671
and what it means
if we take it.

929
00:37:55,409 --> 00:37:57,643
Well, I don't know
what to say, Rachel,

930
00:37:57,678 --> 00:38:00,112
because it turns out
that offer was bullshit.

931
00:38:00,147 --> 00:38:02,548
What?
What are you talking about?

932
00:38:02,583 --> 00:38:05,317
There was no job.

933
00:38:05,352 --> 00:38:07,286
He was just trying to get me
to drop the case.

934
00:38:07,321 --> 00:38:10,422
- Oh, Mike, I'm so sorry.
- It's even worse.

935
00:38:11,077 --> 00:38:13,444
I told him that the clinic
had limited resources,

936
00:38:13,479 --> 00:38:15,590
and he used that information
to strong-arm the donors,

937
00:38:15,614 --> 00:38:17,915
and get them to pull the plug.

938
00:38:17,950 --> 00:38:20,050
Well, he didn't contact me.

939
00:38:20,086 --> 00:38:22,119
Louis,
now is not a good time.

940
00:38:22,154 --> 00:38:23,732
Well, that's where
you're wrong, my friend.

941
00:38:23,756 --> 00:38:24,833
Because it's always a good time

942
00:38:24,857 --> 00:38:27,658
to get a half a million
dollar donation.

943
00:38:32,972 --> 00:38:34,416
I thought the firm
couldn't do this.

944
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,274
Well, the firm can't.

945
00:38:36,309 --> 00:38:39,377
It's an anonymous gift, from me
to the Eastside Legal Clinic.

946
00:38:39,412 --> 00:38:41,913
I don't ever need it back,
and no one ever needs to know.

947
00:38:44,551 --> 00:38:46,684
Was this your idea,
or Donna's?

948
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,686
Team effort.

949
00:38:48,721 --> 00:38:50,721
- I don't know what to say.
- Say thank you.

950
00:38:50,757 --> 00:38:53,357
- Thank you.
- No, Mike, thank you.

951
00:38:53,393 --> 00:38:54,158
Because you've been
doing the right thing

952
00:38:54,194 --> 00:38:56,027
ever since you got here.

953
00:38:56,062 --> 00:38:58,563
The world could use
a lot more people like you.

954
00:38:58,598 --> 00:39:00,898
I couldn't agree more.

955
00:39:08,441 --> 00:39:10,441
What?

956
00:39:15,149 --> 00:39:16,682
Can't say
that the place looks nicer

957
00:39:16,717 --> 00:39:18,350
since I've been gone.

958
00:39:18,386 --> 00:39:20,853
- You don't like it?
- It's fine.

959
00:39:20,888 --> 00:39:22,555
If you don't care
about color or texture.

960
00:39:22,590 --> 00:39:23,689
Fair enough.

961
00:39:23,724 --> 00:39:25,591
Now tell me why
you're really here,

962
00:39:25,626 --> 00:39:27,259
because it sure as hell
isn't to tell me

963
00:39:27,295 --> 00:39:29,895
what a shitty job I did
decorating your office.

964
00:39:29,931 --> 00:39:32,965
Harvey, I know what's going
on with Stanley Gordon.

965
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,533
But I need a favor.

966
00:39:34,569 --> 00:39:37,002
- What kind of favor?
- You remember that thing

967
00:39:37,038 --> 00:39:39,371
I said wouldn't
follow me to Chicago?

968
00:39:40,132 --> 00:39:42,766
Well, it did.
- Aw, shit.

969
00:39:42,801 --> 00:39:44,167
They're coming after
your license?

970
00:39:44,202 --> 00:39:45,936
They already took it.

971
00:39:45,971 --> 00:39:48,305
I'm here because I need you
to fly out there tomorrow

972
00:39:48,340 --> 00:39:50,440
and file a TRO or 500 people

973
00:39:50,475 --> 00:39:52,142
aren't going
to have a place to live.

974
00:39:52,177 --> 00:39:54,945
You want me to file a TRO
for a housing project?

975
00:39:54,980 --> 00:39:57,213
I am in the middle of a fight
for this firm's life.

976
00:39:57,249 --> 00:39:58,826
I don't care what
you're in the middle of.

977
00:39:58,850 --> 00:40:01,318
You owe me, because along
with about 100 other things,

978
00:40:01,353 --> 00:40:03,653
you threw me under the bus.
- And as I recall,

979
00:40:03,689 --> 00:40:05,322
you said you were okay with it.

980
00:40:05,357 --> 00:40:08,291
And now, I need
a goddamn favor.

981
00:40:09,109 --> 00:40:11,309
Okay, you want my help?

982
00:40:11,344 --> 00:40:12,877
You tell me what the hell
is going on.

983
00:40:12,912 --> 00:40:16,247
Okay, Harvey.
Here it is.

984
00:40:16,282 --> 00:40:19,350
I went out there
to make a difference

985
00:40:19,386 --> 00:40:21,719
and all I was doing
was scratching the surface,
986
00:40:21,755 --> 00:40:23,554
one pro Bono at a time.

987
00:40:23,590 --> 00:40:26,524
So I decided
to go toe-to-toe

988
00:40:26,559 --> 00:40:30,561
with the mayor's office
on a police brutality case.

989
00:40:30,597 --> 00:40:33,164
I got a $4 million settlement.

990
00:40:33,199 --> 00:40:36,215
And two weeks after
you put out that statement,

991
00:40:36,216 --> 00:40:38,316
they came after my license.

992
00:40:38,352 --> 00:40:39,629
So you're saying
this is payback?

993
00:40:39,653 --> 00:40:41,987
I'm saying they're trying
to run me out of town.

994
00:40:42,022 --> 00:40:44,322
What exactly do you want me
to do about it?

995
00:40:44,358 --> 00:40:46,858
I want you to stand
next to me on the last case

996
00:40:46,894 --> 00:40:49,995
I'll ever have, because
I'm not going out like this.

997
00:40:50,030 --> 00:40:52,230
Jessica, if all you need
is a lawyer,

998
00:40:52,266 --> 00:40:54,199
you can have your pick
of the top guys out there.

999
00:40:54,234 --> 00:40:57,002
Harvey,
you're not hearing me.

1000
00:40:57,542 --> 00:41:00,643
I am going to war with the
people that took my license.

1001
00:41:00,679 --> 00:41:03,780
I don't need the top guy.

1002
00:41:03,815 --> 00:41:06,716
I need the best partner
I've ever had.

1003
00:41:06,751 --> 00:41:09,118
And I need him to have my back.

1006
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,147
Is this an intervention?
Because if it is,

1007
00:41:25,182 --> 00:41:27,849
you might want
to put those drinks away.

1008
00:41:27,885 --> 00:41:29,685
Jessica told us
what's going on, Harvey,

1009
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:31,153
Whatever it is
she needs you for,

1010
00:41:31,188 --> 00:41:32,632
we came here to tell you
that we'll take care
1011
00:41:32,656 --> 00:41:34,823
of things back here.
- You sure about that?

1012
00:41:34,858 --> 00:41:37,192
Because I'm not.
- The one thing I'm sure of

1013
00:41:37,228 --> 00:41:39,361
is that none of us
would be here without Jessica.

1014
00:41:39,396 --> 00:41:41,730
And we're willing to do
whatever it takes to help her.

1015
00:41:41,765 --> 00:41:45,434
- Whatever it takes?
- Yes.

1016
00:41:46,199 --> 00:41:48,533
Then I want your word
right now.

1017
00:41:48,568 --> 00:41:50,768
If you have to choose between
the clinic and the firm,

1018
00:41:50,804 --> 00:41:52,170
you drop the clinic.

1019
00:41:52,205 --> 00:41:53,849
You don't think,
how can I get out of this,

1020
00:41:53,873 --> 00:41:56,007
how can I pawn this off,
or anything else.

1021
00:41:56,042 --> 00:41:58,009
You drop it
inside of two seconds,

1022
00:41:58,044 --> 00:42:00,345
and you help Louis
with whatever he needs.
1023
00:42:00,380 --> 00:42:03,381
- Done.
- They're right, Harvey.

1024
00:42:03,416 --> 00:42:06,017
Jessica sacrificed everything
for us.

1025
00:42:06,052 --> 00:42:08,219
We'll have your back.

1026
00:42:08,838 --> 00:42:10,605
Just get on the plane.

1027
00:42:16,813 --> 00:42:18,551
Well, then...

1028
00:42:18,575 --> 00:42:20,512
Hope to God you guys are right.
