Previously on "Suits"...

I'm here because
I want you to come home.

Back to the firm?

Yes, and not only that,

you can get the ten
best associates

from Robert Zane's
stable to come with you.

And what's in this for me?

I'll make sure that you are
the youngest senior partner

we've ever had.

As of this morning,
we're merging with Robert Zane.

When I came over,
you said my name

would be the
one to go up next.

You have my word.

Your name goes up next.

Alex, what are you doing?

I'm going through every one
of Samantha Wheeler's files,

'cause a fight's coming,
and I'm gonna be ready.

Katrina, are you sure
you're gonna be okay

firing people
you've worked with for years?

I'll tell you
what I told Louis,

that if I'm going to grow
in my role here,

this is something I'm going
to have to learn to do.

I gave you an order,
and you blatantly ignored me.

I did do what you
originally asked:

to objectively evaluate
the associates.

I don't care.
Brian is staying.

Gavin Andrews is a hell of a
lot more than meets the eye.

And a guy with your history
would want to be more careful

about who he gets
into bed with.

Tell me what
you're talking about,

or get out
of my goddamn office.

I admit I'm starting to see
what you see in her.

That's all I was hoping for.

Now I can tell you
why I was hoping it.

What haven't you told me?

Her name goes
up on the wall next.

I mean,
how was I supposed to know

she was married?
- I don't know,

maybe her wedding ring
could have tipped you off.

Mm.

I was 23, you know?

I wasn't looking
at no damn rings.

You really had some balls
when you were younger.

Still do,
thank you very much.

Now, why don't you get to it?

- Why don't I get to what?
- Harvey, you've got plenty

of friends to have drinks with,
most of them prettier than me.

You've got something
on your mind.

Let's hear it.
- Robert, do you remember

when you told me
you promised Samantha

her name would go up next?
- I do.

I made Alex the same promise.

- Why you telling me now?
- Because we're partners.

I don't want to keep
any secrets from my partner.

Then I guess there's only
one thing to do.

- What's that?
- Kick the can down the road.

Because there's no way
both of us are gonna be able

to keep that promise,
and for all we know,

one of them could get hit
by a bus before we have

to make that call.
- Then I guess

it's a good thing
both our names

are already up there.
- Sure is.

- Another drink?
- Yeah, make it a double.

And where are you going?

To make room for that double.

[sniffs]

Excuse me, would you mind
giving me a minute to...?

Oh, I'm so sorry, I--
I didn't hear you come in.

Um, I'll just go.
- Are you all right?

Uh, yeah.

I, um--I just got a phone call.

Um, it's not important.
[sniffles]

Excuse me.
- No, you stay.

I'll use the one downstairs.

Take as long as you need.

For what it's worth...

I hope everything's okay.

[sniffles]

Thank you.
[sniffles]

[dramatic music]

What are you doing
in my home?

I'm here because I have a way
to get your Renoir back,

but I'm gonna need something
from you.

- And what exactly is that?
- Give your ex the villa

in Bordeaux, and guarantee
she never pays a nickel

of upkeep.
- And why would I do that?

Because you asked me
to get that painting back

and this is the only way
that's gonna happen.

No, I mean
why would I do that

when your firm is about
to sign my biggest competitor?

- What are you talking about?
- I just learned

Samantha Wheeler's about
to sign Delta.

- God damn it.
- See, I thought

I made it clear
that if I sign with you

it is because I trust you.

Using me as a stalking horse
doesn't make me feel like

I can trust you.
- Gavin, that's not

what's going on here.
- I told you,

that painting
is personal to me.

I'm gonna tell you why.

My father was not
a wealthy man,

but he had an education.

If there's one thing
he appreciated

more than anything, it was art.

Every Sunday, we'd go
to a different gallery.

We'd walk through--
he would tell me

everything he knew
about every painting there was.

You know who
his favorite artist was?

Renoir.

I paid $8 million
for that painting.

It's worth twice that now,
but I would never sell it...

because every time
I look at it...

I think of him.

Gavin, I told you
I'll get that painting back

and I will.

And I'll tell you
something else--

There's no way
Samantha Wheeler's signing

Delta goddamn Airlines.

♪ ♪

Thanks.

Alex, what a pleasant surprise.

Cut the bullshit.

I just found out you're going
after Delta Airlines.

Not just going after,
it's practically a done deal.

That was fast,
since you only talked to Delta

after you found out
I was pursuing Gavin Andrews.

One had nothing
to do with the other.

And I said cut the bullshit.

You did this because you knew
you'd either sign Delta

and I'd be out in the cold,
or Gavin Andrews

would accuse me of using him
as a stalking horse

and I'd be out in the cold.
- If you're so sure of that,

then what are you doing
standing here

ruining my morning bagel?
- I'm here to tell you

to back the hell off.

Well, that's not
gonna happen.

Listen to me.

I don't know
how you did things before,

but around here,
we don't stab each other

in the back.
- Then what do you call

going after my old client
for the sole purpose

of making me look bad?

Because I'm not gonna
let that slide.

Not to mention I warned you

Gavin Andrews
isn't worth the trouble.

You don't want to look bad,

or the client's
too much trouble?

Which one is it?
- It's both,

and if you can't see that
then it's not my problem.

What I see is you standing
between me and a client,

and if I were you, I'd get
the hell out of the way.

Well, then you'd better
sign your guy fast,

because I'm already on
the one-yard line with mine

and I'm about to punch it in.

[groans]

Hey.

Good morning, Robert.
- It will be

once this damn hangover
wears off.

- Out late last night, yo?
- Uh, no, I was here

forgetting my age
and matching Harvey

drink for drink.

Now, what can I do for you?
- Robert, you know,

if you're hungover, I can whip
up my nana's special remedy.

I just need some sugar, tea,
a little steamed milk,

and, of course,
two of my cuticles.

Thanks, but I'd rather
have the hangover.

It's about the tea, isn't it?

Because she's from
the old country

and I can substitute--
- Louis.

What in God's name
did you come in here for?

Okay. Robert.

The other day
when I was feeling left out,

you and Harvey let me know
that you clocked me.

Well, I realized
that there's someone

that I haven't been clocking.

- What are you talking about?
- When I brought Katrina over

from you, I told her
that she was gonna be

the youngest senior partner
in firm history,

and I want
to fulfill that promise.

Now, let me
get this straight:

you're holding me
to a promise you made to her

so that you could steal her
from me.

Robert, that's not the point
and you know it.

Katrina is a great lawyer,
and it's time.

Maybe it is time,
but senior partner

isn't just "lawyering," Louis.

It's about managing people,
and I don't know

how good Katrina Bennett is
with people.

Well, then you tell me.

What can she do
to prove herself to you?

[knocking on glass]

Excuse me, Mr. Specter?

- I know you, you're--
- From last night.

I, uh...

wanted to return this.

You were very kind.
Thank you.

It's nothing.
I was just hoping

everything was okay.
- Actually,

that's the reason
that I'm here.

- What do you mean?
- I was upset last night

because I got a call
from my mother.

She needs an operation,
and I can't afford it.

What are you asking me?

I've worked
enough overtime hours

to make having
that operation possible,

but they won't pay me overtime
because my title

is Facilities Manager.

I don't manage anything.

I was hoping maybe...
- I'd be able

to get you your money.
- Yes.

- Listen, Miss...?
- Anna.

Anna Reed.
- Anna, your employer

is my landlord,
so if I get involved

things could get
very complicated.

But it's a simple matter
of paying me for my work.

If that were true,
why would he listen to me

when he didn't listen to you?

Because people like me
don't matter

to people like them.

I'm just the lady
that cleans their toilet.

Please, Mr. Specter.

I'm not proud
to ask you for this

but my mother needs this,
and when it comes

to taking care of people
we love,

pride has no place.

Okay.

I can't promise anything,
but I'll try.

Thank you.

I knew you were kind.

Don't tell me you're dating
the cleaning woman now.

- And what if I was?
- I'd say congratulations.

But why don't you tell me
why she was here.

I ran into her
in the bathroom last night.

She was crying.

The building isn't paying her
what she's owed,

and she asked me
to look into it.

You mean, she asked you
to pick a fight

with our landlord,
who I shouldn't have

to tell you
is a mean son of a bitch,

and this is a bad idea.
- Robert, I'm not an idiot,

and I'm not picking any fights
with David Fox.

I'm gonna talk to the man
for two minutes.

If he doesn't see it my way,
that's it.

Trust me.

Okay, Harvey.

I trust you.

♪ ♪

There you are.
Been looking all over for you.

Louis, if there's any chance
whatever it is can wait...

It can't.
I need you to supervise

Brian Altman.
- What?

Louis, I am in the middle
of a case,

and there is a huge meeting
in an hour.

Well, then have him
help you with it.

I don't need any help,
and I can't

be mentoring someone right now.

It's not mentoring;
it's managing.

Then have someone else
manage him.

Damn it, Katrina,
this is your chance

to be senior partner.

- Oh, my God.
- That's right.

I just talked to Robert Zane
about making good

on my promise to you.
and I shouldn't even

be telling you this--
no one can know.

He's on board
as long as you can show

that you are a manager.

Okay, uh...

Look, then just do me a favor.

Please just tell Brian
to familiarize himself

with Bigelow Textiles
and meet me

in the conference room
in 45 minutes.

Katrina,
is something going on?

Why would something
be going on?

I don't know,
'cause I just told you

that your dreams
are coming true

and it looks like
you ate a bad clam.

I'm sorry, Louis.

This is amazing news.
I'm just crunched for time.

So, please, just tell Brian
to be there

and I will handle him
from here on out.

Okay, I'll let him know.

[contemplative music]

♪ ♪

David Fox.

I'm Harvey Specter.

Of, uh, Something,
Something, Specter Litt?

Don't tell me
us changing our name

is gonna be an issue again.
- No, it's not.

Donna Paulsen saw to that
in your new lease.

Well, Donna has a way
of getting what she wants.

Speaking of what people want,
why don't you tell me

why you're here.
- I need your help.

There's a cleaning woman
on our floor

who can't afford to pay
her mother's medical bills.

Turns out technically
she's a facilities manager,

which means she's not eligible
to make overtime.

A maid
with a manager's title.

I mean, sounds to me
like she's being empowered.

You and I both know
that title is just a way

to get around paying
what she's earned.

- I don't know any such thing.
- Oh, bullshit.

She's your employee.
- Wrong.

I contract
all my cleaning services out

to another company,
a company I don't run.

You're gonna tell me
that company is anything more

than a piece of paper
and a PO Box?

Why don't you pay them
a visit and find out?

Listen, David,
all I'm asking

is do the right thing.

Pay her for her work.
- You know,

why don't you reach
into your own pocket?

'Cause that's what
you're asking me to do.

And I do this for her,
I gotta do it for everyone.

And if you don't
do it for her,

you will have to do it
for everyone.

You'd better watch
what you say to me,

'cause in case you forgot,
you're still living

under my roof.
- And if you don't back off,

I'll take that roof
and everything else you have,

because you just violated
half-a-dozen laws

by threatening a tenant.
- You want to take me on,

you go for it,
'cause I didn't get where I am

by letting people like you
push me around.

Last time,
Donna kicked your ass.

Well, I'm not Donna,

so you pay my client
what you owe her.

[tense music]

- Alex.
- We need to talk

about Samantha Wheeler.

- What does that mean?
- It means she's making a play

for Delta Airlines,
and I want you to stop her.

Delta would be a huge client;
why would I want to stop her?

Because she only went
after them to stop me

from signing Gavin Andrews,
and team mates

don't do that to each other.

This team mate talk
sounds great,

but you just went after
one of her old clients.

I didn't choose Gavin
because he was hers.

I chose Gavin because
he was the most valuable client

to Robert Zane.

The fact that he was hers
just wasn't gonna stop me.

Wasn't gonna stop you,
or was icing on the cake?

What difference
does that make?

Well, considering
what you're asking me to do,

it makes all the difference.
- Louis, after Zane ended up

as managing partner
I wanted to take her on,

but you said I should make
a friend of Zane instead.

So I went after Gavin
to impress Robert,

and if you're not
gonna stop her, I might as well

just have gone after her
in the first place.

All right, Alex, okay.

But giving up a client
with eight-figure billables

is going out on one hell
of a limb, so I do this,

you better deliver
Gavin Andrews.

I will, Louis.

You have my word.

Samantha Wheeler.

You and I need
to have a little chat.

Louis Litt.
To what do I owe the pleasure?

- Oh, you know who I am.
- Well, a man like yourself

needs no introduction.
- That is very kind of you,

but I'm not here for you
to blow smoke up my ass.

Let me guess:
Alex realized

he wasn't gonna stop me
on his own.

He realized
that you were trying

to undermine him, which is why
I'm here to tell you

that you're gonna stop
pursuing Delta.

I don't believe this.

Are you seriously
coming in here to tell me

I can't sign one of the world's
biggest airlines?

Yeah, I am.

And this isn't a discussion;
it's an order.

I hope you've had a chance

to think long

and hard about this.

Because I'd be careful
what you wish for.

You trying to intimidate me?

Just giving you
a little advice.

Well, listen here,
sweet face.

I get it.

You're the it girl.

Well, you know who I am?

I'm Litt man.

And you can try to sashay
your six-foot frame around here

like you're Brigitte Nielsen
in 1985--

turn me into a puddle,
get me to capitulate.

Well, I got news for you:
it's not gonna happen.

All right.

I'll drop Delta.

I knew you'd see things
my way.

But someday...

you're gonna come asking
for a favor.

Might not be today,
might not be tomorrow,

but it's gonna happen...

and when it does...

I'm gonna remember
this conversation.

And Louis?

If you think I couldn't
turn you into a puddle,

you are wildly mistaken.

So we're clear.
You'll drop the client.

I have to go somewhere now.
- Mm.

I'm sure you do.

Brian.

What's going on?
You look lost.

I'm not lost.
I'm just under the gun.

Have you seen Katrina?
- No, why?

Bigelow Textiles
is in the conference room

and the meeting was scheduled
for five minutes ago.

I don't know what to do.
- Easy.

Katrina's never missed
a meeting in her life.

If she's not there,
she will be.

Just go ahead and start.
- Thing is, I just got

the case an hour ago.

I'm hazy on the particulars
at best.

I think I should cancel.
- I don't think

that's a good idea.
- But what happens

if I start the meeting
and she doesn't show up at all?

And what happens
when you cancel the meeting

and she shows up
three minutes later?

- Donna--
- Brian, look.

I know your value,
and I believe

that Katrina knows your value,
but the truth is,

not too long ago,
you were on the chopping block.

If you've been invited in
on this case,

you're being offered
another chance.

And canceling a meeting
that Katrina's running

a little late to isn't the way
to prove myself.

No, it's not.

[sighs]

You're right.

I'll get it going.

[mellow piano music]

Harvey.

Is there a reason
why the 49th floor toilets

have been backed up?
- Why would I know that?

Because when I called
to have it fixed, they said

they couldn't get to it
for another four hours

and in the mean time,
maybe you could

take a look at it.

Son of a bitch.

You, you, you.

Drop what you're doing
and meet me

in the conference room.
- We're working on something...

I don't give a shit
what you're working on.

Conference room, five minutes.

Harvey.

Donna, I'm in the middle
of something.

I can see that.
Do you mind telling me

what that something has to do
with those toilets?

It has to do with the fact
that David Fox wants a fight

and I'm gonna give him one.
- A fight about what?

He doesn't want to pay
our cleaning woman overtime.

Hang on, so you're pulling
the associates

off the Vistech merger
to help her?

Fine, you want me to use
different associates?

I will.
- I don't care

what associates you're using;
I want to explain to you

that David Fox is no joke.

And as noble as it sounds,
you don't want

to get in a fight with him
over something like this.

I know that, Donna.
That's what I said to Zane.

- But...
- But what?

Harvey, this isn't what we do.
- Mike would have done it.

And Mike's not here anymore
because he finally came

came to terms with the fact
that this isn't what we do.

Look, if you told Zane
you knew this wasn't worth it,

then you already know
I'm right.

[somber music]

Okay, Donna.
You're right.

Tell those associates
to get back to whatever

they were working on.

♪ ♪

[breathing heavily]
Mr. Bigelow, nice to meet you.

I'm sorry we're running
a little late.

I'm Brian Altman.
- Where the hell's Katrina?

I'm sure
she'll be right here.

In the mean time,
can I offer you--

No, no, no.
I don't have time

for the meantime.

If Ms. Bennett can't bother
showing up on time,

she can play catch-up
when she gets here.

Okay, I see you're
in a hurry.

Let's go through the report
from the top.

I don't need you
to read me the damn report.

What I need are some answers.

Um, all right.
What do you want to know?

What kind of exposure
are we looking at, here?

Well, Kineserve claims
you improperly broke

your contract,
but the board minutes

don't indicate any bad faith
on your part.

That's the good news.
- And the bad news?

The minutes don't show
any discussion of good cause

for terminating
the contract, either.

No good cause?

Did you see
the delivery manifests?

Um, I'd have to take
another look at them

before weighing in.
- Another look?

What about
the stress test results?

Right.

Let me just find that.
- You haven't even read

all the goddamn minutes,
have you?

I must have
just missed that part.

If you'd just let me find it...

I can see
what's going on, here.

Katrina didn't think
I was worthy of her attention,

so she pawned me off
on some incompetent,

second-rate associate.
- Mr. Bigelow, I can assure you

that is not the case.

Katrina values your business
very much,

and I am
a fully capable attorney.

Not from what I see.

And if I can't be handled
by a competent attorney,

I don't see why I should
be handled by this firm at all.

Please, Mr. Bigelow.

Um, if we could just reset,
I think we got off

on the wrong foot.
- You wanna reset?

Get your shit together,
'cause I'm not about

to sit here and watch you
bumble your way

through something you're
clearly not prepared for.

And the next time
you call me in for a meeting

without Katrina Bennett,
don't bother

calling me in at all.

[tense music]

I don't believe this.

- Brian...
- No, you sent me in

to a meeting by myself,
and you're, what?

Out taking a stroll
around the park?

- Please, not now.
- Yes, now, because I just got

my ass handed to me
by your client.

I wasn't taking a stroll;
I was in the bathroom

in a stall
because it's the only place

in this entire building
that's dark and quiet.

- What are you talking about?
- I had a migraine.

One of the worst I've ever had.

And when it was time
for the meeting

I opened the door,
but even with the sunglasses

the light made it feel
like there were icicles

in my head,
and I couldn't leave.

Brian, I'm so sorry.

I had no idea
you get migraines.

I haven't had one
since high school.

They're triggered by stress.
- You mean like the stress

of having to fire
a bunch of associates.

They started the day after.

- You need to tell Louis.
- No.

Louis is the last person
who can know about this.

Why would you want
to hide this from him?

Because you don't get
nine shots at senior partner;

you get one.

You're up
for senior partner.

I am.

No one is supposed to know
about this, not even me.

And if suddenly I start
getting migraines

that make it seem
like I can't handle the job...

No one's gonna find out
anything from me.

But Bigelow is pretty pissed.
- Well, Bigelow isn't going

to be at the motion
to dismiss tomorrow,

so as long as I win that,
we'll be fine.

In the meantime, I'd better
go face the music with Louis.

Brian, you don't have
to do that.

If I don't,
he's gonna find out

about your migraines.

[sighs]
Be direct.

Tell him you're sorry.

He might not be happy,
but he'll respect you.

Brian.

If ever there were any doubt

about you being
a valuable associate...

there isn't anymore.

- Anna, it's Harvey Specter.
- Mr. Specter.

I didn't expect
to hear from you so soon.

Does this mean that--
- I'm afraid

it's not gonna work.
- What?

I tried talking to them,
and there's nothing I can do.

You mean you don't want
to make a problem

for your firm.
- No.

Anna...

there's another firm out there
I can recommend to you.

I can't afford
to pay another firm.

You wouldn't have to.

Look, the guy who used
to do cases like this

doesn't work here anymore,
but he used to work

at a clinic, and I'm talking
about setting you up there.

[sighs]
I should have known

you'd pawn me off.
- I'm not pawning you off.

I promise, I will go down there
and make sure one

of the two lawyers I know
handles this personally.

Okay.

If you trust this firm,
then I trust you.

I'll be in touch.

[somber music]

Yes, absolutely.

I agree 100%.

Never again.

Hey, Louis, can I talk
to you for a second?

Sure as hell can,
'cause I wanna know

what the ---- happened
in that meeting.

- That's what I came--
- You know what, never mind.

I don't need to hear it,
because I just got

off the phone
with John Bigelow,

and he tells me
that you couldn't answer

a goddamn question.
- I know that, and I just--

He also says, and I quote,
"I never want

to be in another meeting
with Brian Altman again."

I--I'm sorry, Louis.
I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

That's all you have
to say for yourself?

Because you just
let down Katrina.

Do you understand
what I'm saying to you?

- I do.
- I do not think that you do.

Hi, can I help you?

Nathan's in Philadelphia

No, thanks.

Can I tell them
who stopped by?

It's okay; I've taken enough
of your time.

[contemplative music]

- Is that what I think it is?
- Renoir.

Signed, sealed, and delivered.

Mind telling me
how you pulled it off?

Absolutely, as soon
as you hand me

a signed engagement letter.

You know what,
I'm gonna do you one better.

Why don't you take out
your phone and check out

the latest edition
of the "Journal."

I don't believe it.

You issued an announcement

saying we're
your new attorneys.

I told you, you're my guy,
and I don't mind

the world knowing it.

- So where do you want this?
- I don't give a shit,

'cause it's not
gonna be here long.

What?

I'm shipping it
to the Cayman Islands

where a certain
airline company's

gonna pay me $55 million
for it.

I thought you said
it was only worth 16,

and that you'd never sell it.

Well, that's the thing
about art:

the value is in the eye
of the beholder.

I want you to behold this.

You want me on-shore
55 million from a blind trust

in the Caymans?

Gavin, I have to tell you,
this looks a hell of lot

like laundering money.
- Well, then it's a good thing

you don't know that for sure,
because if you don't know it

you can do it,
and you're going to do it.

I get it.

You gave me a bullshit story
about this thing

having sentimental value
to rope me in.

then you put out
an announcement saying

we're your attorneys.

And now, if I don't do this,

you drop us
and the world thinks

we shit the bed
inside of a day.

You catch on quick.

- I'm not doing it.
- Maybe you will,

maybe you won't.

But you'd better think about
how you're gonna explain

to Robert Zane
how you signed me and lost me

inside of two days.

[tense music]

There you are.
I've been waiting for you

to give me something to do.

There isn't much left to do,
so I'm handling it myself.

Katrina, come on,
there's a ton of work left.

I can see you're still in pain.

There must be something
I can do.

I'll be fine.

What if I turned
all the lights on?

Would you be fine then?

Katrina, 'cause that's
what it's gonna be like

in court tomorrow.
- Brian.

I heard what happened
with Louis,

and I'm not going
to let that happen again.

Listen to me.

I knew what I signed up for
when I said I'd keep

your situation a secret.
- And I appreciate it.

And now I'm going
to go into court tomorrow

and do the best I can.

Katrina, you gave me
a second chance,

you admitted you were wrong.

Not everyone would do that.

And someone that would

I want to have leading me

So if you won't let me
do this for you,

at least let's do it together.

[quiet dramatic music]

Okay, Brian.
We'll do it together.

Alex, whatever it is,
I'm meeting a client

for dinner.
- That's okay,

I just have one question.

Did you know?
- Know what?

That Gavin Andrews
was gonna ask me

to launder money for him.

I don't believe it.
You knew it the whole time.

No, I didn't.

But I knew he was gonna
ask you to do something.

Then you and I
are gonna go upstairs

and figure out how
to get out of this, right now.

Are you out of your mind?

I'm not going anywhere near
that man's account.

Yes, you are,
because you knew my history

and you let me
sign him anyway.

Are you fucking kidding me?
I brought up your history.

And you knew I was
in no position to trust you.

And what I was I supposed
to do about that?

You could have given me
some goddamn specifics.

'Cause there's no way
you didn't have something

that would have convinced me
you were telling the truth.

And how was I supposed
to trust you wouldn't use

whatever I said against me?
- I wouldn't do that.

Oh?
So if I had said,

"Hey, Alex,
don't sign this guy.

He's gonna ask you
to cover up a murder."

You weren't gonna use that?

Is that what he asked you
to do?

This conversation is over.

You made your bed.
Don't come crying to me

because the sheets are dirty.
- I'm not gonna cry to anyone.

I'm gonna tell Zane
exactly what this man

is all about,
and we'll see what happens

when he finds out
whatever shit you did.

You don't think Robert knew?

Why do you think
he didn't fight

for Gavin's business
when we left Rand Kaldor?

You're saying Zane knows
you did illegal shit?

I'm saying, Robert Zane knew
what kind of a client

Gavin Andrews was,
that I knew how to handle him,

and that I stopped wanting to.

Then help me get out of this.

- Why should I?
- Because we're on

the same team,
and that's supposed

to mean something,
especially when it's about

breaking the law.

Please, Samantha.

I should have listened to you,
but I have a family.

I can't afford to do something
that'll hurt them.

[sighs]
Okay, Alex.

You are a family man.

He is not.
- What are you saying?

I'm saying,
you're the kind of man

that would go to any length
to protect your family.

Gavin Andrews
is the kind of man

that would go to any length
to protect himself.

[tense music]

So all we need to do
is open with material breach,

show severability
doesn't apply, then close

with impossibility
of performance.

We do all that,
it'll drive the stake

right through their claim.

We?

Yes, we.

Because although
I'm feeling better,

you did this as much as I did,
which means

we should do it together.

You sure?

I'm sure.

I do believe
that's the first time

I've seen you smile
since we started

this whole thing.

I was just thinking
about my senior year

of high school.

This is how I used
to do my homework.

You had an associate
write your papers for you

in high school?
- I had a study partner.

He was my best friend.

We used to write our papers
together by flash light.

Never thought I'd be doing
the same thing years later.

You in touch with him?

No.

But I feel like I am
after tonight.

Now you're smiling.
I know it sounds cheesy.

No, I was just thinking
about where we were a week ago

when I thought
you were cold and heartless.

And I went from that
to being your best friend

in record time.
- I wouldn't say best friends.

Well, you can only say stuff
like that to me

because we're, like,
best friends.

Well, I don't know
about that.

But we are close enough
for me to tell you

that you're going
to go to court

by yourself tomorrow.

But I thought you said
you were feeling better.

I am, but you did all this
to help prove

that I could manage people,

and what kind of manager
would I be

if I didn't give you a chance
to prove yourself

to John Bigelow?

You sure?

I'm sure.
