from beginning till 1:45

This series called «Suits» is set at a fictional New York City law firm, it follows Mike Ross, who
uses his eidetic memory to talk his way into a job as an associate working for successful closer
Harvey Specter, whom we just saw ,despite being a college dropout who never attended law
school.

Harvey is an attorney, and the self-made “best closer in New York city”. It’s undeniable that
Harvey is good at what he does. With raw talent, encyclopedic knowledge of the law, and
unorthodox methods of manipulating others Harvey always gets what he wants and never fails to
amaze. He can improvise where he needs to in order to achieve the desired goal in the future, and
even his working principle of “keep pressing till it hurts” isn’t industry-standard.

In this scene Harvey is checking out a Tesla when Laurence shows up, also wanting the Tesla.
The two decide to quiz each other about the car, and whoever knows more about it to see gets to
test drive it. Harvey wins but decides to let Lawrence get the car anyway. In reality, while
watching the series, we understand that Harvey owns much more rare and pricey models of
automobiles, for example Bentley, Aston Martin, Mercedes, Lexus, and even has a collection of
expensive vintage cars so this Tesla was probably not on his wish list and he lied about waiting
for it for months. When asked why he let him have it, Harvey says that it never hurts to have
man with a 2 billion hedge fund to owe you one, and that he merely competed with him first so
Lawrence would feel like he actually does owe Harvey one. Harvey then rents out a vintage car
instead, and we realize that at the begging he was fast to improvise and start his manipulation
even though he doesn’t even have an ultimate goal yet, he did it just in case for possible
forthcoming benefit.

I believe that it’s a clear example of manipulation based on principles of reciprocal/mutual

exchange. It should be noted that Harvey speaks clearly, quickly and confidently, pressing with
(pseudo)arguments, facts and amazing knowledge about this model of car, thus he stirs up more
interest and desire to have this car in another man. Then he pretends to make a great sacrifice by
denying himself this Tesla and giving it to Lawrence. This makes the victim feel very grateful
and since this car is not a cheap and serious purchase, he will not forget about this so-called
charitable gesture and kindness.

Immediately after this scene, Harvey is informed that Robert Stensland , the CEO of McKernon
Motors, the company from which Harvey is making additional profits through his connections,
decided to sell the factory land in the U.S. and move manufacturing overseas, saying that "the
real asset of McKernon Motors is the name". Harvey disagrees with him, thinking that the main
asset is the quality, but not saying it out loud to Robert. As a lawyer and a racing-junkie, Harvey
knows that these plans will jeopardize the company, which would in turn affect his personal
financial incomes he recieves from it.

Harvey tasks his associate Mike to find a flaw in the company's bylaw that will solve this
problem. It only takes him one all-nighter to discover that Robert Stensland is actually still only
the interim CEO of McKernon Motors and that he has to be officially voted in by the board in
order to move the factory. Mike and Harvey just have to find the right man to replace Stensland.
When Harvey hits a dead end with finding a replacement CEO, Mike suggests Dominic, the
engineer. This, though, proves to be difficult for Harvey to accept since he and Dominic are not
exactly on friendly terms.

But after some time , we realize that Harvey still intends on making Dominic the CEO of
McKernon Motors. He tries to convince him take up this powerful position but Dominic is
initially reluctant, saying he has stayed underground to run the factory all this time and stayed
away from his management rights because he hates boardroom politics.

When comes the time to introduce Dominic to the board as a contender for the position of CEO,
Harvey and Mike get their too late as somebody had already warned Robert, current CEO. He
moved the board meeting to an earlier time and was already voted in. The ratification of the sale
of the company will be on the next day, so Robert fires Dominic. But Harvey comes up with an
idea. He tells Dominic that it won't matter that Robert is still a CEO if they just buy the
company.

from 35:31 till 37:33

Here Harvey meets back with Laurence,that man whom he gave away Tesla and tells him that
the company is for sale. Harvey knows that this businessman will be more than eager to buy it
because of personal interest and gratitude for generousity back at car dealership. Harvey then
introduces Laurence to Dominic to increase his interest even further so this man invests his
millions in the case.

Later Harvey proceeds to interrupt the board meeting Robert has held, stating that Dominic can
petition the board because he is an original employee and he was never fired because he was not
given a three days notice. Harvey, with Dominic's permission to his petition rights, then tells the
board about the $250 million dollars Laurence is offering for the purchase of the company,
therefore kicking out this current CEO and thus, he achieves a hidden goal – not to lose great
financial earnings from this enterprise nobody knows about.
