Previously, on "Suits":

- Tell Harvey how you feel.
- What?

If you don't tell him
that soon,

you might lose the chance
to tell him at all.

I understand why you go after
the unattainable woman.

You are titillated
by what you cannot have.

But I can have her, Doc.

Only if you choose
to be the bad boy.

What if I want to be
the bad boy?

I am happy to say,
my friend,

we both know that is not you.

Paula said she doesn't
think we'd survive

if you and I
keep working together.

I want to stay here in the
position that I fought to get

and that I love
and that I know I deserve.

- You let Donna go.
- She left her letter

of resignation on my desk.

- I'm sorry, Harvey.
- You didn't make me do it.

I chose to, and now
I'm choosing to undo it.

- Are you okay?
- Will you come back?

- Yes.
- Then I'm okay.

The Dean of Admissions
is coming to check on your work

tomorrow night, Miss Sazs.

You mean Dean Hans
Von Schlongenhammer?

[with German accent]
You're going to get a hammer

from the schlongen.
- Louis, this is my fiancé,

Zander.
- Hey.

- What'd you see in him?
- I know.

Louis, we've been here
for 35 minutes,

and you've barely said a word.

What's going on?

All right, you want
to know the truth?

Last time I saw you,
you said I'm not the bad boy.

But I thought,
"You know, why not?

Why can't Louis Litt be
the bad boy just this once?"

I see, so you continued
your affair with Sheila.

And it was great.
I mean, I had the girl.

I had the confidence.

But then when I went
to meet her...

He was there.
- He?

The shithead that's she's
marrying, Zander Fuck Face.

And how did seeing him
make you feel?

How the hell do you think
it made me feel?

It made me feel like someone
was ripping my heart out,

shredding it to pieces,
and lighting it on fire

right in front of me.

- Good.
- Good?

Did you not hear
what I just said?

You want me to say it
again in German?

I heard you, Louis.

I said good

because you may have
fooled yourself

into believing
there was some future

between you and Sheila.

But coming face-to-face
with this Zander

means you can now
face the truth.

What truth is that?

That if you do not end this,

that terrible feeling
you had last night

will only continue to grow.

I know.

You're right.

It's time to let her go.

- Judge Ralls?
- You remember me.

Of course.

You treated me fairly
during my trial.

I'll never forget that.
- Good.

Because I'm not just here
by accident.

You're being accused
of overturning a verdict

for personal gain.

And if I lose, it could
cost me my judgeship.

Forgive me for asking,
but why exactly

are you coming
to me with this?

Because you're a hell
of a lawyer.

And like you said,
I always treated you

fairly during your trial.
- Bullshit.

How many other firms
you go to before coming to me?

- Seven.
- That's what I thought.

So you're not coming to me
because I know you're fair.

You picked me because
anyone who takes on this case

is gonna have to drop
at least one client,

and you thought
you could come down here

and guilt me into doing that.

No, thanks.

And what if that's true?

I can't ask my firm
to drop a client right now.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

You stood in my courtroom,

said you'd been given a gift
and you wasted it.

I've served for 20 years.

They're accusing me
of something I didn't do,

and I lose this,

I lose everything
I've ever worked for.

So did you mean that shit
you said to the jury or not?

Zander, wh-what are you
doing here?

Surprised to see
someone someplace

they have no business being?

I know the feeling
because I felt it

last night
in Sheila's office.

And again, I am sorry
for interrupting.

But as anyone who knows me
will tell you,

I take the recruitment of
our associates very seriously--

Cut the bullshit.

I know what you were
doing there last night.

And I'm not gonna
let you keep doing it.

You're pretending
to recruit students

so you can spend time with her
and win her back.

And it's not gonna happen.

That's not
what I was doing there.

Well...

you sure as hell weren't there

to recruit a bunch
of associates

for your shitty little firm.

What'd you just say
about my firm?

I said I work at Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.

We're better than you.

I'm better than you.

And you better start
accepting that.

You know what, Zander?
I wasn't there

last night
to get Sheila back,

and you're goddamn lucky
I wasn't.

Because if I wanted her back,
she'd be mine.

- That's a joke.
- You're a joke.

And I'll tell you
something else.

My name is on my firm.

I've never heard of you,
so back off,

or I'll take her from you.

I don't think so.

Because she chose me.

So get your associates from NYU

or some other
shitty law school.

I don't really care.

But stay the hell away
from my fiancée.

- Mike, it's not even 9:00 yet.
- I know.

I was as surprised
to find you here as you were.

Well, I meant
it's not even 9:00

and you're already coming to me
with that look on your face.

What look on my face?

The look that says
you're about to ask

for something
that I won't want to do.

[chuckles]

Judge Ralls came to see me.

You mean the judge
that oversaw your fraud case?

She's been accused
of overturning a verdict

for a company
that she has an interest in.

- No.
- Harvey, I don't think

she did it.
- We're trying to sign Techron.

They've got a case that could
end up in front of Ralls.

The second we agree
to represent her,

we can kiss them good-bye.
- Okay, look, I...

I don't want this to be
another prison case.

So if you don't want
to do it, we won't, but...

we were just on the right side
with Teddy.

I thought it'd be nice for us
to be on the right side again.

What do you mean us?

Even if I said yes, you don't
need me to fight this.

I heard about what happened
with Paula.

I just thought that if we did
this thing together,

maybe we could have some fun.

In that case, get your shit.

Brief me on the way.

On our way where?

If you know "A Few Good Men"
as well as you say you do,

you'll be able to guess.

- Thanks.
- Excuse me.

Aren't you Donna Paulsen?

I am, and who might you be?

David Fox.

Fox Commercial Leasing.
- Oh.

I know who you are, Mr. Fox.
You own the building.

Please, call me David.

You know this isn't
the only building I own.

Hmm, exactly how many
do you own?

34.

Well, David, if you think
telling me

that you own 34 properties
is going to impress me,

you just might be right.

Well, I do love being right,
and you know what?

I wish I could keep doing this
all day, but unfortunately,

this isn't a social call.

You want us to quadruple
our security deposit?

You took Jessica Pearson's
name off the wall,

and then you declared you want
nothing to do with her.

That is a material change
in your firm.

It could affect
your ability to make rent.

Look.

We did distance ourselves
from Jessica Pearson.

But we also restructured
the firm,

and we're stronger than ever.

And if you need me
to show you the books

to prove it,
I'm happy to do that.

That's not gonna be
necessary, Donna,

but look, I've got
this board of directors

that I have to contend with,
so if you could

draft a letter documenting
exactly what you just told me

and hand-deliver it
to my office,

I just might able
to keep them at bay.

You know, if you wanted me
to come to your office,

you could have just asked.

I thought I just did.

Katrina,
drop what you're doing.

I need my black swan.

Let me guess.
Zander Epstein.

What?
How could you know that?

When I saw the announcement
about Sheila's wedding,

I knew there'd eventually
be a duel.

Which is why I already started
digging into him.

Well, then tell me
what you got,

because I need to beat
this clown 19 ways from Sunday,

and I've never even
heard of him.

The reason you haven't
heard of him is because

he's an expert in a very small
subset of technology law.

Well, shit. I don't know
anything about tech law.

But what you do know about
is having a huge chip

on your shoulder
and using it to beat

the shit out of anyone
who stands in your way.

That I do.

This is gonna be
one hell of a duel.

I know. He's gonna be
the Burr to your Hamilton.

But Hamilton dies.

Not this time, Louis.

Not this time.

I don't get it.
How could I have guessed this?

They didn't go to batting cages
in "A Few Good Men."

No, but Tom Cruise says he
can think better with his bat.

There is no way I could have
guessed that.

All right, give me
the Cliff Notes.

Two months ago,
PolyCode versus K Systems.

Jury ruled in favor
of PolyCode.

Ralls overturned the case
on its merits.

Let me guess.
Whoever's representing PolyCode

found out that Ralls has a ton
of money in K Systems.

[grunts] Exactly.

But I talked
to her finance guy,

and he says it's in a trust,

it's blind, and he's willing
to put it in writing.

Who's repping PolyCode?

[grunts] Smith and Devane.

Well, they're not idiots.

They've got to figure that
we could find proof like that.

Yeah, so the only
question is,

why do they think
they have a shot?

[ball clatters against fence]

Wait a second, what if they
don't think they have a shot?

What are you talking about?

You said you didn't want
to represent Ralls

because it could affect
another case we might try.

She gets put in review,

she's gonna be kicked off
the bench for six months.

Holy shit, they want
her off so she won't

find against a different client
in an upcoming case.

Which means if we can
get her to recuse herself

from whatever the case is--
- They'll drop this bullshit

like a hot potato.

Well, look at that.

I am having fun.

Now I'm having even more fun

because you hit like a monkey

trying to have sex
with a buffalo.

What kind of nature films
did you watch as a kid?

I didn't watch any.

I was too busy learning
how to hit a baseball.

[bat thwacks]

Ugh, what are you doing here?

You said you're
the better lawyer.

I thought we'd
put it to the test.

You really want
to pick a fight

with me in tech law?
I wrote the book on it.

I don't care what
you wrote the book on.

I just took my glove off
and slapped you

in the face with it,
so are you gonna

run to Mommy
or pick up a pistol?

You don't have the standing
to bring this suit.

Yes, I do, because one
of the massive banks

in the area
I wrote the book on

has a 40% stake
in Office Warehouse.

And the new microchips
in your printers

lock out our ink cartridge.

Oh, I get it.

You don't like
that we have the most exquisite

piece of equipment ever made

and the only cartridge
that will ever get to fill it

with the full range of
proprietary ink again is mine.

How dare you talk
about Sheila like that?

Sheila?

I thought we were talking
about who's the better lawyer.

Because let me assure you,
no matter where

this little charade ends,
you're gonna be left standing

alone with nothing but
your Dictaphone in your hand.

She told you
about my Dictaphone?

She told me everything.

Now get out of my office.

I have to call my fiancée
and tell her

I have a nuisance suit
to take care of.

[fraught synth music]

♪
♪

All right.

Let's make this quick.

I only have a 15-minute recess.

This won't take
that much time

as long as you're willing
to sign this.

- What is this?
- You're recusing yourself

from any cases being tried
by Smith and Devane

for the next three years.

And why would I agree
to that?

Because if you do,

this whole thing goes away.

I don't care what happens
to this thing.

It's blackmail,
and I'm not giving in to it.

Listen to me, this avoids
even the rumor of something

that could destroy
your reputation.

That's what you came to me for.

I came to you to defend me.

We're offering you a way

to get out
of needing a defense.

What you're offering
is a chance

to do something unethical.

You don't do this,

we have to argue this in front
of a judicial committee,

which means all bets are off.
- I know what it means.

And I don't care.

So instead of trying
to broker some backroom deal,

why don't you try to figure out
how to clear my name?

Because I recuse myself,

I might as well have
gotten paid to overrule

that verdict
in the first place.

Is this a bad time?

You know, I don't think
it's possible

to have a bad time
if you're around.

Trust me, truer words

were never spoken.

And just to make your day
a little bit brighter,

I have the letter you needed.

Excellent.

Now, I don't want you
to leave here empty-handed,

so I got one for you too.

[sighs] Here you go.

You're kicking us out?

I'm giving you
90 days' notice.

Then I'm kicking you out.

That's a violation
of our lease.

It would be
if you had a lease.

It was rendered invalid
when you restructured,

which, if I'm not mistaken,
you just gave me

proof of right here.

So all that concern
about us

not being able to pay
our rent was just...

I believe they call it
a ploy.

Yeah, and I think we know
what they call you.

Why are you doing this?

You guys have been carrying

a below-market lease for years.

I saw the new girl
on the block

get promoted to a job
she'd never done before.

I took advantage.

So all that flirting
was just bullshit?

No, I never said that.

This is business.
That was fun.

Mm, well, I don't
find it fun.

'Cause I may be the new girl
on the block,

but you just picked a fight
with the best lawyers

in the city, and in case
you haven't noticed,

they're on the block too.

You want to go tell
Harvey Specter and Louis Litt

their new COO just got
served with that suit

and cost them their home,
you go right ahead.

Or you and I can quietly
amend the lease,

the rent increases 100%
over three years,

and no one ever has to know.

I'm not letting you
get away with this.

[dramatic music]

♪
♪

Sheila, what are
you doing here?

Yeah, I'm not here
to answer questions, Louis.

I'm here to ask them.

What the hell are you doing
suing Zander?

What do you think I'm doing?
I'm protecting my honor.

Louis, I know it upset you to
see us together at my office,

but I never thought you'd start
something like this.

You know what, Sheila?
As far as I'm concerned,

I didn't start anything.

You did.
- What?

I had nothing to do with this.

You have everything
to do with it.

I was living my life.

You know what?

I was dumb enough

to think that fate
finally got it right,

that there was a reason that
you were back here in New York

and that you would figure out
that that reason was me.

But when I saw you with him,
when I heard you tell him

that you just don't know
what you ever saw in me,

and then that dick
shows up at my office

to tell me to stay away
from you.

So you engineered a lawsuit
to get me back?

Because, Louis,
that's not gonna happen.

I know it's not gonna
happen.

That's not what this is about.

Then what is this about?

I told you
what this is about.

It's about my honor.

I don't get the girl.

I don't get to be happy.

But at least I get to beat
this asshole into the ground.

Louis, if you do this,

he's going to find out
about us.

And it's gonna ruin
my relationship...

And ruin my life.

Sheila, you have my word.

I won't let that happen
no matter what.

Okay, Louis.

I just hope you know
what you're doing.

♪
♪

Rachel, I need you to drop
whatever it is you're doing

and come up with a lawsuit
that sends the son of a bitch

who owns this building
to prison

for the rest
of his miserable life.

Okay, calm down.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Our landlord tricked me
into admitting

that we restructured the firm,

and now he's filed suit
to evict us in 90 days.

Donna, this is bad.

You have to get Harvey
and Louis involved.

Rachel, I can't go to Harvey
with this right now.

I just--I can't.

Donna, what's going on?

- I kissed him.
- What?

I knew things were getting
serious with Paula,

and I just--I had to know.

Donna, that's huge.

That's not the point, Rachel.

But I feel terrible because...

Harvey and Paula
aren't together anymore.

And there's no way you're
gonna be responsible for that

and for the firm
losing its home.

No, there's not.

Okay, we might be able to
find a way to fix this thing,

but it can't be bullshit.

Then let's come up with
something that's not bullshit.

You were right, Mike.

I needed the distraction.

Thanks.

Harvey, I know it's
none of my business

and you probably don't want
to talk about it, but...

What happened with Paula?

Donna kissed me.

What?

It was after Malik was over,

and out of the clear blue sky,

Donna kissed me.

Look, it's a long story,
but it led me to realize

that Paula's not the one.

Because Donna is?

That's not what I'm saying.

Then what are you saying?

I'm saying that you should
know better than anyone

that sometimes shit happens
you couldn't see coming.

It knocks you
into a different life,

and this is one of those times.

Maybe you couldn't have
seen it coming, but...

I think I should have.

What are you talking about?

You're gonna be pissed.

That night before
we went to see Malik,

I kind of told Donna that
if she had feelings for you

that she better tell you
before it was too late.

Look, I didn't think
she was gonna kiss you.

It's okay, Mike.

You couldn't have known
she was gonna do that.

Wait a second.
You couldn't have known.

What?

We couldn't have
known that Ralls

wouldn't recuse herself,

which means they won't know
she didn't.

Are you talking
about forging her signature?

Yeah, I am.

We get Smith and Devane
to sign off in writing,

that's as good
as them admitting

that they fabricated
this whole thing.

I don't know how I feel
about crossing that line.

Mike, we've done a lot worse

for people
that deserve a lot less.

You yourself said
that she deserves this.

Okay.

Okay, let's do it.

- I hope you're ready, Epstein.
- Oh, I'm ready, Litt.

You sure? Because I have
a little precedent in my pocket

by the name
of Jenkins v. Sanders.

Which might frighten me
if Howell v. Munley

didn't trump Sanders in 2010.

Well, then it's a good thing
that I brought a little vixen

to the party by the name
of U.S. v. Xerox.

Oh, I guess someone
didn't hear the news.

Xerox was overturned last week.

- Bullshit.
- Okay.

It is bullshit.
But it doesn't matter.

Because that only applies
to analog technology,

which hasn't been relevant
in, mm, 40 years.

And whatever else you have
doesn't matter either

because I've got a stack
of precedents

up to your fat face that'll
crush anything you bring up.

[chuckles]

Okay, change of plans.

We need to file
a motion to delete

this motherfucker's products
from our store.

Louis, you can't do that.

Yes, I can,
and I'm going to.

What is wrong with you?
We have a solid plan.

Don't you get it? We picked
a fight beyond our depth.

He's gonna kills us
unless I do this.

Louis, if we pull a product

from one of our biggest
client's shelves

without their permission,
they will go ape-shit.

I don't care.

Well, I do.

And I'm not gonna
let you do it.

All right,
what are we doing here?

Time-out.

- What?
- A postponement, Your Honor.

I request a postponement.
- On what grounds?

One minute ago, he was ready
to go toe-to-toe with me.

I...

I, um...

It's my fault, Your Honor.

I brought the wrong case files
to court.

Please don't punish Mr. Litt
for my incompetence.

All right, we will postpone
until tomorrow.

But you two better get
your act together.

This court does not appreciate
having its time wasted.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Look, I'm sorry, Louis,
but if I didn't do that,

we'd lose this client.
- It's okay.

Louis is used to losing things.

Cases. Women.

You smug dick.

You think I'm the one
losing Sheila?

I think you lost her
a long time ago,

and now you're showing
everyone why.

Well, you're
showing everybody

that you're the most
pathetic piece of shit

that ever lived.
- Yeah? And why is that?

Because I'm the one
screwing your fiancée

behind your back
and in front of it too.

- What?
- Oh, yeah, last Tuesday,

we played cops and robbers,
and I vandalized her

all night long.

- No, that can't be true.
- Oh, it's true.

Because you may be
the one she wants,

but I'm the one she needs.

[tense music]

Louis, please tell me
you didn't say that to him.

No, I didn't,
but I wanted to.

And I have to, I will.

Louis, you can't do that.

You gave Sheila your word.

I don't care.
I need to win this case.

And if you use your affair
to do that,

you will regret it
the rest of your life.

But if I lose, I'll have
to live the rest of my life

knowing that he got the better
of me in everything.

Then find a way to win
without using that tactic.

Because if you can't do that,

I believe we must stop
seeing each other.

- What?
- Louis,

I don't say it lightly,
but I have taken an oath

to do no harm.

And lately I have been feeling

our relationship is doing harm.
- How could you say that?

You said that you would
never leave me.

I know.

And it would cause me
great pain.

But my oath to my profession is
greater than my words to you.

And if my willing to leave you
does not prevent you

from hurting the woman
you claim to love,

then what we are doing here
is not working.

[melancholy music]

♪
♪

[indistinct chatter]

Donna.

To what do I owe the pleasure?
- Got a present for you.

All right, let me
get this straight.

You're trying to use a statute
meant to protect squatters

to keep your lease?
- Not trying.

Doing, and that suit's
already been filed.

So you can either
spend more in legal fees

than you'll make
increasing our rent,

or you can drop
this whole thing.

I-I got to admit, this is--
this is very impressive.

Except for one little thing.
- What's that?

The clause in your lease
which states

if the tenant
initiates a lawsuit

prior to engaging
in arbitration,

I have the right to terminate
your lease within 30 days.

We didn't initiate
the lawsuit. You did.

Did I?

That lawsuit was never filed.

Wow, you son of a bitch.

You have so little respect
for me

that you would deal
in bad faith twice?

Hey, look, I did
what I had to do, all right?

And look, this isn't personal.

Donna, I told you I own
buildings all over the city.

Right? I wouldn't
be able to do that

if I didn't know how to get
what I want.

And when word gets out

that you treat your tenants
like this,

those buildings aren't
gonna be worth shit.

Trust me, when you got
views like mine

from Central Park
to Battery Park,

people don't care
how they're treated.

They just want in.

As a matter of fact,
I might have something

for you on the other side
of town.

I think you guys
are gonna love it,

'cause now that you've
filed this,

you're gonna be moving
sooner than you thought.

[tense piano music]

Ms. Shear?

Mike Ross.
This is Harvey Specter.

I'm sorry. Do I have a case
against you I don't know about?

We're representing
Judge Sandra Ralls.

Then I guess I do.

Unless, of course,
you want to

withdraw your complaint
against her.

And why would I do that?

Because we have
a signed agreement

saying she'll recuse herself

from Exodyne versus
the State of New York.

I'm afraid
that's not good enough.

Are you kidding me?

She's stepping down
from a huge case

that you have pending with her
which we all know

is what this
is really about.

What this is really about,
Mr. Ross,

is removing a judge
from the bench

who's demonstrated an inability
to follow the law.

Bullshit. She followed
the law in your case.

You just didn't like
the result.

Then why don't you ask her
if she followed the law

in the Sullivan case
12 years ago?

What the hell
are you talking about?

Your client takes matters
into her own hands.

She did it 12 years ago.
She did it two months ago.

God knows how many times
she's done it in between.

But she's never going
to do it again.

That woman has more integrity
in her little finger

than you have in your entire--
- Mike, that's enough.

You make an accusation
like that,

you better
damn well have proof.

Because if you smear
this woman's reputation

without cause, I will make it
my life's mission to bury you.

Then instead of coming
at me with empty threats,

why don't you ask
your client what she did?

What are you doing
bursting in here unannounced?

We just came
from Smith and Devane.

They're throwing around
some Sullivan case

like it means something,
and you better tell us

what they're talking about
right now, or we're gone.

It was 12 years ago.

I was a new judge.

And there was a 16-year-old kid
with the worst public defender

I've ever seen.

It was bad enough I had
to rule in favor of this boy

being tried as an adult,

but when he was offered
a plea deal and this moron

wanted to take it to trial,

I couldn't sit by
and watch.

I don't understand. Why not
just declare a mistrial?

Because having
a shitty lawyer

isn't grounds for that.

So instead
you had direct contact

with the defendant?
- Harvey, take it easy.

She was just trying
to help a kid.

I don't give a shit if
she's trying to cure cancer.

It's illegal.
She didn't tell us about it.

I'm not losing a client
for a judge

who can't even tell
her own lawyers the truth.

You want to know what kind
of judge I am?

Anita Gibbs came to me
to wiretap your phones

because she knew in her gut

he was a fraud
and you were in on it.

She had everyone
from the attorney general

to the governor's office call
to make me do it,

I said no

because they didn't have
probable cause.

Are you saying I owe you?

I'm saying I made one mistake

12 years ago,

and our system relies

on having people like me
up on that bench

so that when people like you
get in front of us,

you don't go straight
to prison.

- What?

Tech law has its basis

Exactly.

We got him.

Tell him what?

Never mind.

Donna, can I talk to you
for a second?

No, Rachel, you can't because
I'm too busy freaking out.

Freaking out about what?
We had him.

It didn't work.

There's a clause
in our lease that says

if we skip arbitration,
he can kick us out

in 30 days, not 90.

No, that's only if we

started the litigation.

We didn't.
He sued us.

You told me that--
- I didn't understand

when I told you.

Donna, you have
to tell Harvey.

- I can't.
- Okay, then

you have to tell Louis.

Paula wanted Harvey
to get rid of me.

What--

what are you talking about?

I didn't tell you
the whole story.

She wanted me gone, and Harvey
didn't want to fire me,

so he went to Stu Buzzini
and got him to offer me a job.

And I was gonna to take it,
but then at the last minute,

Harvey changed his mind.

He chose me over her.

And it was only a few days ago,
and I can't be responsible

for losing the only home
that this firm has ever had.

Donna, I understand
all of that.

But if you let your guilt
keep you

from giving him a chance
to fix this thing

before it's too late,

he's gonna wish
you took that job.

Okay.

I'll tell him.

Harvey. I've gone through
the files on the Sullivan case.

You did what?

Why would you do that?

Because the panel's
in two days.

We need to be prepared
for whatever

they're gonna throw at Ralls.

No, we don't,
because I'm not risking

having to drop another client

for someone
who lied to my face.

I'm sorry,
were you in that room?

If she hadn't denied that
wiretap, I wouldn't have been

the only one in prison,
and you know that.

Okay, why do you think she
brought that up to you, Mike?

I don't know. Maybe
to show us why she deserves

to be on the bench.
- Bullshit.

She did it to make you feel
like you owe her something,

which is why she came to you
in the first place.

It's because you're a sucker.

Okay.
Well, you know what, Harvey?

I'd rather be a sucker
than someone

who refuses to sacrifice
anything for anyone else.

What the fuck did you
just say to me?

I said I don't give a shit
what we lose.

This woman did us a favor,

and I'm not gonna hang her
out to dry just because

you don't want to sacrifice
a piece of business.

I sacrificed more
than just business this week

all because you couldn't keep
your mouth shut.

Are you ser--
Are you really

making this
about Donna right now

when we got a woman's future
on the line?

Don't give me that shit.

You made it about Donna

when you said
I couldn't sacrifice.

I sacrificed everything.

- Harvey--
- Enough.

You said you didn't want this
to be another prison case.

Well, it is
another prison case,

and I'm saying
we're dropping it.

Okay, well, as long as we're
talking about sacrifice

Oh, good playground retort,
Litt.

Then again, I guess a loser

How's this for a retort,
Zander?

We go to court, that's
what everyone's gonna see.

in the settlement

that Louis Litt
is a superior lawyer

to Zander Epstein.

You can put it in Latin

Okay.

If that's what it takes

When I get home tonight,
remember who's waiting for me.

And she's gonna cook me dinner,
she's gonna rub my feet,

think of you again.

Well, maybe on

Mike, I'm sorry
about last night.

Truth is, it's been
an emotional week,

and when you accused me
of never sacrificing--

I shouldn't have said that.

You've sacrificed for me
hundreds of times.

I know that.
- More like thousands.

[chuckles]

Now, what do you got?

Well, I got to thinking,

how the hell did
that woman even know

about what Ralls
did with Sullivan?

I'm guessing
you've got an answer.

Turns out that shitty
public defender--

Smith and Devane hired him
six months ago.

But the thing is,
six months ago,

her docket hadn't been set
that far in the future.

Which means this whole thing
was a setup

for a case
that already happened.

Think about it.
She gets thrown off the bench,

every one of her rulings
for the last seven years

is automatically subject
to appeal.

Mike, this is great.
We got 'em.

The only problem is,
I can't figure out which case

because Smith and Devane didn't

represent anyone
she ruled against.

Well, what kind of cases did
she hear during that period?

Mostly federal antitrust.

Then I know who can help us.

Sheila.

What are you doing here?

I talked to Zander earlier,
and he told me

you two had
a settlement meeting.

[scoffs]
Is that what he said?

I would describe it as more
of a beatdown, but whatever.

- Thank you, Louis.
- Why are you thanking me?

- For not telling him about us.
- Never crossed my mind.

You asked me not to,
so I didn't.

And now I have to ask you
for one more thing.

Please let this case go.

- What?
- Give him a way to save face,

and let this thing go.

I gave him a way.
It's called a settlement.

No, you jacked up
the settlement

and added in some nonsense

about admitting
you're the better man.

I am the better man.

Then prove it
by being the bigger man.

- Sheila--
- Louis,

I'm getting married
in a few days,

You won.

Louis, my feelings

I'm not gonna judge you

Let me guess. You got here

No, we got here early

And once again,
why would I do that?

Because you hired
a shitty defense attorney

for the sole purpose of getting
dirt on an outstanding judge.

Hiring a shitty lawyer
isn't against the law.

No, but doing it so you can
set up a merger factory is.

That's a great theory,
but you have no proof.

Yes, we do.
Right here.

You signed all six of these
companies within the last year.

And we've got
signed affidavits

from each one of them
saying that you

approached them with an offer
to get their mergers through

if they signed with you
in advance.

Wasn't hard once
they realized

this could rise to the level
of a criminal offense.

And conspiracy
to alter judicial rulings

is most definitely
a criminal offense.

you'll end up in prison.
