Previously on "Suits"...

He's not just suing us.

He's trying to get
a guilty verdict

so he can use it
and come after my license.

What?

Donna was the one
who told you about Simon,

but I want you
to say it was me.

If you can't tell me
who you were to him,

maybe you can tell me
who he is to you.

I just know
that he's somebody

that I can't seem to figure out
how to cut out of me.

You knew because
Harvey Specter told you.

I knew because
Robert Zane told me.

Mr. Kessler, who was it?

All I know is that
Alex Williams informed me

of Pierpont's plan.

How could you take the fall
for something you didn't do?

How could you do that to me?

Because I did something else,

and I can't
live with it anymore.

What are you talking about?

That man that attacked you,

he was killed in his own cell,
and it's my fault.

What am I supposed to do

when I have a big victory
or a terrible loss

and the only person I want
to run and tell isn't there?

Samantha, I'm so sorry,
but I have to go.

Say it again.

I looked around,
and you weren't there.

I'm here now.

What?

I just wish I'd come
to my senses sooner.

It's okay.

I was worth the wait.

Donna...

I know.

We have to get some sleep.

Everything's changed.

I know.

Wheeler, phone call for you.

Says it's urgent.

This is Samantha Wheeler.

Samantha, it's Katrina.

I got in early this morning

because I figured we'd have
a lot to take care of

with the whole
Robert situation,

which is why I was here
when the call came in and--

Katrina, I'm in the middle
of a workout.

Can you just cut to it?

You need to get in here,

and you need
to get in here now.

Rachel, call me
as soon as you get this.

It happened.

And by "it," I mean--
oh, shit, I gotta go.

Who was that?

No one.

- Rachel.
- Told her, didn't you?

No. Yeah.

Well, in that case,
I hope she listens

to her messages before Mike,
'cause I just left him a doozy.

What?

I didn't authorize you
to do that.

Wait, seriously,
what did you tell him?

What'd you tell Rachel?

That you were better
the first time.

Good, 'cause that's exactly
what I told Mike about you.

No, you didn't.

And neither did I,
because you weren't.

Because more vigorous
isn't necessarily better.

- Neither is younger.
- Really?

12 hours in and you're gonna
trot that one out?

12 years in,
and, no, Donna, I'm not...

Because I am glad
I came over last night.

Me too.

You do know I'm coming over
again tonight, right?

Yeah, Harvey, I do know that.

There is one thing
that I don't know.

What exactly changed

to make you come over here?

- Are you expecting someone?
- No.

But I do know who it is,
and it's bad.

- How bad?
- Louis bad.

He just texted me.
He's right outside.

Holy shit.

- He cannot see me in here.
- What are we gonna do?

Well, I can't
climb out the window,

if that's what
you're suggesting.

- We're 12 stories up.
- You could stick the landing.

Louis: Donna, I know
you're in there.

- Shit.
- Wait a minute.

What are we so afraid of?

Harvey, are you saying
what I think you're saying?

I am.

Let's let him in.

All right, we need to talk,

and we need to talk
right now.

I went to Harvey's.

He didn't answer his door,
so now I'm here.

And you're here.

I am.

And you're in
the same exact clothes

you were in last night.

Guilty as charged.

Oh, my God.

I know exactly
what you two were doing.

Louis, before you jump--

You were up all night
trying to figure out

how you were gonna handle
the Zane situation.

- We were indeed.
- Up all night.

Thinking about the situation.

Well, I can't believe it.
You should have called me.

We could have done it together.

Could have, but it's
probably best that we didn't.

I don't know. They
do say the more the merrier.

Harvey.

You know what, I don't care
that you left me out.

The most important thing

is that you guys were
banging it out all night.

both: That we were.

So what'd you come up with?

Probably nothing as helpful
as what you've come up with.

Well, the only thing I know
is that we need

to put out a press release
as soon as possible.

Then you came
to the right place,

because Donna is top notch
at releases.

Why, thank you, Harvey.

You know,
you're not so bad yourself.

Will you please stop stroking
each other's egos?

I'm just as good at releasing
as either one of you.

In fact, I hammered one out
this morning.

Don't.

Louis, this is great.

It takes responsibility

while still standing
behind our partner.

So we are agreed.
We stand behind Robert.

We do.

Well, then I'll put this out
right away.

And, Harvey, when you get in,
get together with Samantha

and make sure the two of you

lock up every last one
of Robert's clients.

I'm on it, Louis.

I don't get it.

How could he be
such a good lawyer

and not see what's right
in front of his face?

Well, to be fair,
you didn't see

what was right in front
of your face for 12 years.

Fair enough.

But it does beg the question--

Let's not tell Louis
or anybody else.

Why not?

Because Louis might be
clueless, but he's right.

There's gonna be a lot
of blowback from the hearing,

and I'd rather share our news
when the people we care about

are in the right frame of mind
to hear it.

About that news.

Before Louis got here,
you asked what had changed--

Harvey, I want
to know everything,

and when I do,
I want to be able

to hang on every last word,
but now's not the time.

So what do you say
that you go home

and you change into that armor
and you get ready to fight

for Robert's good name?

Alex Williams.

Depends who's asking.

My name is Steven Faulkner.

I'm with the New York Bar.

I wanted to talk about
what you did

at that hearing yesterday.

I did what
anybody would have done.

All the same,
you showed a lot of courage

exposing your partner.

Robert Zane's a legend.
That couldn't have been easy.

It wasn't.

Well, the Bar noticed,
which is why I'm here

to discuss the next step:

removing Zane's name
from your letterhead.

What?
Why do we do that?

Because the man
broke privilege,

and put your firm
in a position

to start hemorrhaging clients.

And since when
are our clients the business

of the state bar?

Your clients aren't,
but your firm's character is.

Look, I know what Robert did
was unethical,

but it was one mistake.

We're talking about
a man's legacy.

And leaving his name up

doesn't just hurt the legacy
of your firm.

It's hurting the integrity
of the Bar.

And what if I don't
see it that way?

More importantly,
what if my partners don't?

Because it's not my call.

Let's just say it would be
to everyone's benefit

if you and your partners
take that name down

of your own accord.

This is Thomas Kessler.
I'm not available right now.

Please leave a message.

Thomas, hey.

It's me.

Um...

I was just wondering

if you were free
for lunch today.

Give me a call when you can.

Samantha, whatever it is,
it'll have to wait.

We have to start locking up
Robert's clients before--

That's why I'm here.

Three of them have already put
their accounts up for review.

Son of a bitch.

The Bar just ruled
on Robert yesterday.

It gets worse.

I reached out to six more

and none of them
would take my call.

Which means six more
are about to go.

And the only way
that could happen this fast

is if somebody's
already poisoned the well.

You think Hardman's
still after us?

I did, until I saw

these notices were
dated two days ago.

And two days ago,
Hardman was gunning

to have me disbarred,
not Robert.

Exactly.

Then who the hell knew
to go after his clients?

The same man that tried
to blackmail Robert

into taking his name
off our wall.

Blackmail?
What are you talking about?

I'm talking about you and I
going to pay a visit

to Eric Kaldor.

Thomas.

What can I do for you?

Unfortunately, Alex,
I'm here to say

that there's no longer anything
you can do for me.

- You're putting us in review.
- Not in review.

I'm letting you go.

Thomas--

No, let--let me save you
whatever you're gonna say,

because I'm not interested
in your excuses.

You're my lawyer.

You knew something,
and you kept it from me.

We've been over this.
The reason I--

What we haven't been over

is that I was forced
to lie yesterday.

Thomas--

You can't
make this better, Alex.

Every time I come here
I'm gonna be thinking about

everything that happened.

I can't live that way.
I'm sorry.

Then let me
at least say this:

I appreciate what you did,

and I'm sorry
it turned out this way.

That makes two of us.

Harvey Specter and Samantha.

Wow.

I figured you guys
would be, uh, too busy

cleaning up Robert's mess
to come play hockey.

Cut the shit, Eric.

We know you're going after
Robert's clients.

It's funny,
when I first started whispering

that Robert was stepping down,
nobody believed me.

But now they think
I'm a regular Nostradamus.

And if you think
we're just gonna stand by

and let you raid our kitchen,

you've been checked
into the boards

one too many times.

I think I cannot believe
that she's fighting your fight.

It's not his fight, Eric.
It's all of ours.

Yeah, if you say so.

But if it wasn't
for old Harvey here,

Robert's clients would still be
at your firm.

And in case you hadn't
noticed, so would Robert.

And you can try to drive a
wedge between us all you want.

It's not gonna work.

So why don't you go ahead
and tell us,

what's it gonna take for you
to back off Robert's clients?

Well, you know,
if I can't drive a wedge,

I can't drive a wedge.

But what it's gonna take for me
to back off your hero's clients

is for old Harvey here
to give me ten of his.

Ooh, look at that.

Maybe I did drive a wedge.

You keep hitching your wagon
to the wrong man, sweet pea.

You didn't drive a wedge
between anything,

you piece of shit.

Call me "sweet pea"
one more ----ing time.

You're probably gonna want
to think about my offer

before you say no.

But don't take too long,
all right?

And if you lay a hand on me
one more time,

I'll have you thrown out
of the Bar

faster than
your disgraced mentor.

Alex, hey, just the man
I was about to see.

Listen, Harvey and Samantha,
they're working

on keeping Robert's clients,
but they may need some back-up.

I want you to be ready.

Well, Louis, I don't know
how ready I'll be

when I can't even keep
my own clients.

- What?
- Kessler just left us.

Shit.

Well, this isn't over.
I'll just give him a call.

You're not gonna be able
to change his mind, Louis.

How do you know that?

Because Harvey used up
all of our goodwill

when he asked him
to goddamn lie for us.

Alex, I know you're upset
about losing a client,

but it's not exactly news
that Harvey did that.

That's what I'm trying
to tell you, Louis.

I got approached today
by the New York Bar.

It was off the record,
but the guy pretty much told me

if we don't
take Zane's name down,

they'll do it for us.

Bullshit, they don't have
the authority to do that.

And if you're suggesting
that we should do it anyway--

You think I want
to take his name down?

Well, then what are you
so worked up about, Alex?

Because in the past two hours
I've been punched

in the gut twice, and I want
to do something about it.

Well, I don't know
what to do about Thomas,

but I sure as hell know what
to do about the other thing.

What's that?

I wanna check to see
how bad our reputation is.

You're gonna make sure that
they don't have the authority

to take that name down,
and then we're gonna tell

the New York Bar
to go fuck themselves.

I've gotta say, I've never
seen you like that before.

I thought you were
gonna kill him.

If you hadn't been there,
I just might have.

Well, I appreciate you not
letting him drive that wedge.

I know you must have been
tempted by his offer

because of--

I wasn't tempted, Harvey.

If Robert taught me anything,

it's that when a teammate
is being attacked,

you don't leave their side.

No, you don't.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Depends on
what you're thinking.

I'm thinking that when
a teammate's under attack,

you don't just stand by them.

You turn the tables.

Because the best defense
is a good offense.

Exactly.

What?

I was just thinking,
I must have said that

to Mike Ross
about a thousand times.

Jesus, last night
it was Jessica,

tonight it's Mike Ross.

Am I gonna have to hear stories
about him now too?

What I meant was,
I keep getting reminded

of how alike we are.

Well, here's to going
on offense.

To going on offense.

- Speaking of last night...
- What about it?

I know I said I didn't need
you checking up on me,

but you did anyway.

And the truth is,
I appreciated it.

Because I was hurting.

But?

But then you just
up and left.

What happened?

I know how
that must have seemed,

but I was hurting too.

And then...

all of a sudden...

I get it.

You needed to be alone.

Yeah, I did.

But, Samantha, I'm sorry
if I left you in the lurch.

I understand.

It must have been tough,

knowing what Robert gave up
for you.

It was.

Which is why tomorrow,
you and I are gonna make sure

that the only person
giving anything up

is Eric Kaldor.

- Thomas, hi.
- Hey.

So I'm guessing
lunch today won't work.

I'm sorry I didn't
call you back earlier, Donna.

I had some business matters
to attend to.

You mean like firing us?

What happened with Alex
had nothing to do with us.

It was business.

Well, I wish
it hadn't come to that,

but I understand.

And I'm sorry...

- For everything.
- Please don't say it.

You said everything there is
to say yesterday.

The truth is, I--
I didn't call you back

because I just didn't
have it in me

to endure hearing the rest.

Thomas, listen to me,
you are such a good man--

You don't have
to soft-pedal it, Donna.

Nobody goes from spending their
nights together to lunch.

There are so many things
I want to say about you.

Maybe another time.

Take care, Thomas.

Good-bye, Donna.

There's my love.

I hope you're in the mood
for your favorite,

'cause this matzo's
about to get brei'd.

That sounds amazing.

Tough day?

Yeah, you could say that.

The Bar wants us
to take Robert's name down.

But before I tell them
to go to hell--

You need to know
if you can afford to.

That's why you're making
matzo brei.

You know.

How bad is it?

The students that were hoping
to interview with you this year

pulled their resumes back.

I overheard
some of them talking.

They said if you're not willing
to distance yourself

from someone
who's been disbarred,

then you don't care about
the reputation of your firm.

They said that?

Louis, maybe it's time
for you to consider--

No, I can't do it.

Why not?
You took Jessica's name down.

Yeah, that was different.
She knew about Mike.

She was guilty.

But Rob...

Robert, what?

What I'm about to tell you
stays between these walls.

It wasn't Robert.
It was Harvey.

More specifically,
it was Donna.

What?
Oh, my God.

Exactly.

The man took
a huge bullet for us, Sheila.

I'm not just gonna
rip his name down now.

Okay, Louis,
Harvey and Donna or not,

the world thinks it was Robert.

You don't have a choice.

Sheila, when our child
grows up and asks me

how to make decisions,
I'm not going to say,

"Take the way out
that protects your reputation

at the cost of your character."

And I understand all of that,

but you asked me
how bad it was,

and the truth is,
if I didn't know you

and I had heard
what had happened,

I'd be feeling the same way
my students do.

Donna: Hey.
- Hey.

Let me guess:
you can't come over tonight.

How'd you know?

Because I know
Robert's clients

haven't been locked down yet,

and I'm the one who told you
to put on your armor.

Have I ever told you how much
I love it when you do that?

No, but I knew it anyway.

See what I did there?

Hey, what's going on?

Samantha asked what happened
to me last night.

I didn't know what to say.

So what did you say?

She assumed I wanted
to be alone,

so I let her think that.

That's not true.

I didn't just let her
think that.

I lied to her.

I told her she was right.

Well, that's not ideal,

but I know what it's like to be
having a tough conversation

and not wanna say something

that's gonna hurt
the other person even more.

Did something happen?

Thomas and I
ended it tonight.

Oh, my God.

Donna, I didn't know that
you two were still together.

- I would never have--
- Listen to me.

It was already over,
and he knew it.

- Are you sure?
- I'm sure.

Harvey, you didn't
do anything wrong.

I swear.

Thanks.

All right, you ready
to do a deep dive

into Kaldor's clients?

Well, as long as we're
going after Kaldor's,

what do you say we also
go after Ellen Rand's?

What do you think
this pile is?

Louis.

- It's been too long.
- It has.

But I'm sorry to say, Henry,
this is not a social call.

I'm guessing this has
something to do

with Robert's disbarment.

I just discovered,
as of today,

we do not have
one single applicant

from any
of the top ten schools,

and I was hoping that
you could help us change that

by steering
some students our way.

Because, as you know,

if Harvard comes,
the rest follow.

Louis, I'm not a recruiter.

But when you
suggest something, Henry,

the students listen.

Except they don't come
to me for things like that.

That's fine,
I can come to them.

You have an ethics conference
coming up.

Let me be the keynote speaker.

Louis, the university
has approval of all speakers.

There's no way they're gonna
let you be keynote right now.

Professor, please, I...

I have nowhere else to turn.

I need your help.

All right, Louis.

I'll try.

But if I'm gonna vouch for you,

I want you to tell me
what happened.

Is Robert undercutting you
just to get even?

I don't buy it.

Well, if you could figure out
that Robert wouldn't do this,

you could figure out the truth
for yourself.

Harvey.

Louis...

how could this happen
on your watch?

You know what, Henry?

Shit's happened
on your watch too.

Shit that you did,

and we helped you
get out of it.

Louis, I'm not
criticizing you.

I'm concerned about you.

Well, then why don't you
concern yourself

with what I just asked of you?

And concern yourself with it
before the end of the week.

You won't just be signing

the best legal team
in the city.

You'll also be gaining access
to our network

of high-powered clients.

Clients like this one,

who would love to finance
your Singapore expansion.

Ms. Wheeler, I didn't get
to where I am today

by turning down a free lunch,

but I'm starting to think
that you're wasting my time.

How so?

By not acknowledging your
firm's Robert Zane problem.

What Robert Zane problem?

Look, I like Robert,
but I can't sell this move.

To my board,
Zane is a four-letter word.

Robert's disbarment
doesn't reflect

the culture at our firm.

Then why aren't you
taking his name down?

Because, you gotta understand
the history.

The only thing
I have to understand

is that keeping Zane's name up
sends the signal

that you stand by what he did.

We do stand by him.

He was a great lawyer
and an even better man,

and the Bar's decision
doesn't change that.

Then I'll be blunt.
His name is only half of it.

It's also a matter
of his people.

What do you mean,
"his people"?

One of your partners came

from the Robert Zane
coaching tree.

And you know what they say

about trees and apples
and all that shit.

- What are you trying to say?
- I'm saying--

That the only way
we'd ever consider signing

is if you were to
let Ms. Wheeler go as well.

Well, that's not
gonna happen.

- I'm not going anywhere.
- Then I wish you luck.

But there is no way

we're leaving Rand Kaldor
to sign with you.

And if you think
anyone else will,

you're not the lawyer
I've always heard you were.

Harvey, where are you?
I struck out.

If we don't come up
with something,

we might as well give Eric
the keys to Robert's house,

because he sure as hell
is gonna end up

with all of his clients.

Samantha.

How's it going
with Zane's roster?

At the moment,
it's not going at all.

All right, listen to me.
Our reputation took a hit.

But if the clients
people most expect to leave

decide to stay, it's gonna
send a message to the world

that we can still be trusted.

I don't know
what to tell you, Louis.

We had a plan to go on offense

and it's not working out
on my end.

- What about Harvey?
- I don't know.

What do you mean,
you don't know?

I mean, I have been breaking
my back to get this done

and I can't even reach Harvey,
which makes me wonder

if he even gives a shit
about this at all.

Don't you say that.

The night it happened,
he did not sleep a wink

because he was up
all night at Donna's

trying to figure out
what to do.

- Was he, now?
- Yeah, he was.

Well, that is good to know.

In fact, you might have just
given me an idea

about how we can keep
Robert's clients after all.

- Hello?
- Alex.

Steven Faulkner.
How are you?

To tell you the truth,
Steven,

better than I was yesterday.

Because I looked into
whether you had precedent

to make us remove
Robert's name,

and what do you know?

- You don't.
- Is that a fact?

It is.

Seven years ago, another firm
had a partner disbarred

and you didn't just let them
leave up his name.

You let them leave up
his bio too.

Since we're talking
about bios,

let's talk about yours.

Because I'm not just calling
to check in.

I'm calling
to make you an offer.

Become managing partner.

- What?
- That's right.

We may not have authority
to make you change your name,

but we do have authority
to make changes

to a firm's leadership
when it fails.

- Bullshit.
- Don't believe me?

Look it up.
You seem to like doing that.

What I like are my partners,
and there's no way

I would ever betray Louis Litt.

Alex, if you don't
take action,

there will be consequences.

There have already been
consequences, Steve.

And you came to me
with two proposals,

so let me give you
my two answers.

Go to hell
and go fuck yourself.

- You get my message?
- Yeah, I did.

Good.
So nice of you to return.

I didn't return your call
because I've been a little busy

trying to come back
with some good news.

And?

- Look, Samantha--
- That's what I thought.

Well, it doesn't matter anyway,

because we're gonna give Eric
what he wants.

Robert's clients?
We can't do that.

Not his clients, Harvey.
Yours.

What happened
to "teammates don't do that"?

- Things change.
- Like what?

Why don't you ask
your girlfriend?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Like hell you don't.

You didn't leave
the other night to go be alone.

You left to be with Donna.

And Louis might buy
that bullshit

about you being up all night
talking about what to do,

but I know talking
is not what you were up to.

Samantha, listen to me--

Why don't we skip the part
where you try to explain

why you lied to me
and get to the part

where you give Eric
your clients?

First of all,
you have no idea

what happened between me
and Donna the other night.

Second of all, I don't believe

you're asking me
to give up my clients

because you're, what, jealous?

You think this is because
I'm jealous?

Then what the hell
is it about?

I lost everything that night.

Robert was everything to me,

and the person I lost him for
was you.

And instead of feeling bad
about it like you said you did,

you were off having
a little romp

with person whose fault
it really was.

So give up your clients
or don't,

but if your answer is no,

I'm gonna put you
through that wall.

- Yes, may I help you?
- Katrina Bennett.

- I'm Sheila Sazs.
- Sheila.

Yes, we meet at last.

Indeed we do.

- And I must say, it is--
- Save it.

You don't like me.
I don't like you.

But we both would kill
for Louis, and I respect that.

I'm listening.

This firm's in trouble,
and I won't let it go down

while my captain
is at its helm.

You're talking about
the ramifications

of Robert leaving.

I'm talking about
no one trusting you

while his name is on that wall.

I always admired Robert.

But if I'm being honest,

I had my doubts
about leaving his name up.

Then I was right
to come to you.

And you think he'll hear it
better if it comes from me?

I don't care how he hears it.
It just needs to get done.

- Then it will.
- Good.

But don't mention
my coming here.

I told him
I had book club tonight.

- What are you saying you read?
- "Eat Pray Love."

Good choice, except that is
the kind of thing

he'll want to read with you,

assuming he hasn't
read it already.

- Oh, God, you're right.
- I suggest "Amazons."

It's about hockey.
He'll never pick it up.

Perhaps I might like you
after all.

I have to admit,
when I look at you

I see myself.

Though, more attractive

with far less sexual magnetism.

Why would you say that to me?

Because I'm starting
to care about you,

and truth be told,
your beauty's a turn-off.

Friendly advice:

you might want
to frump it up a bit.

Remember that thing
about not telling anyone?

Samantha knows.

And from that look
on your face,

she's not taking it well.

She's not
taking anything well.

Let me guess, she just lost
the most important person

in her life,
and then she finds out

that the night it happened
we're off having a party.

Yeah, something like that.

Well, you can't really
blame her for that, can you?

No, not for that.

But I can sure as hell blame
her for the things she said.

- How bad?
- Bad.

I'm telling you,
if she weren't a woman--

Harvey, if there is one thing
I know about Samantha,

it's that she wouldn't want you
to treat her differently

because she's a woman.

What are you saying?

I'm saying it sounds like
she's spoiling for a fight.

And sometimes
when somebody wants a fight,

you have no choice
but to give it to them.

I am not getting
in the ring with Samantha.

Yes, you are.

She boxes every morning.

You go in there tomorrow,

you let her get it out
of her system.

Are you nuts?
I'm not hitting a woman.

If I were you,
I'd be more worried

about losing to that woman.

I am not losing to anyone!

Harvey, she has
military training.

Louis said that
she put down his mugger

in about five seconds flat,

and from what I know
about fighting,

the more pissed off person
usually wins.

Harvey, listen to me.

She needs this
just like you would.

So if you're not willing
to give it to her,

that's not looking out for her.

That's just disrespecting her.

Whatever it is,
I am tired of talking.

We're not talking.
We're going right now.

- I'm not fighting you.
- Yeah, you are.

You've been talking about it
since the day you got here.

Now you're pissed,

and you said you wanted
to put me through a wall.

Well, here I am.

You're damn right, I want
to put you through a wall,

but not today.

You feel awful
about what you did,

and I don't want any excuses
when I kick your ass.

There aren't gonna be
any excuses

because I'm not
gonna need them.

- Get out of my face.
- I'm not going anywhere.

Watch yourself.

You're in the ring
with the man who's responsible

for disbarring your mentor.

I'm warning you.

The man who put his needs
in front of yours.

You don't want to do this.

The man who decided his love
life was more import--

- I guess it's on.
- Yes, it is.

Ready to be done?

Oh, I'm just
getting started.

Katrina, what are you
doing here so early?

I need to talk to you,
and I need it to be

before this place
is crawling with people.

Okay, what is it?

It's what everyone in this
firm knows has to be done

and no one seems willing
to tell Louis.

You mean
taking Zane's name down?

- Yes, that's what I mean.
- He's not gonna want to do it.

You think I do?

But the longer we leave
his name up there,

the more damage we inflict
on ourselves.

See that right there?

- You know what I mean.
- So what if I do?

Why are you coming to me
and not Harvey or Donna?

Because it's going
to come down to a vote,

and without you and Louis
pushing the others,

it's never going to happen.

And if that's not good enough,
because you owe me.

No, you're not calling
that in for this.

Did you think I was gonna
ask you to wash my car?

Alex, you know this is
the right thing to do.

What the hell is stopping you?

He didn't do it, Katrina.

Robert didn't do it.

For what it's worth,
I didn't think he did.

But that doesn't matter,

because he said he did.

All right.

I'll get Louis to agree.

I'm surprised you have
the strength to pick that up.

Me?

I'm surprised you can sit
after I kicked your ass.

You didn't kick anything,
but I'll admit,

you did pretty good
for a guy in his 70s.

Hey, those are
fighting words.

- You wanna go again?
- No.

Me neither.

Look, if you want me

to give up my clients
to Kaldor, I will.

But is that
what Robert would want?

No.

It's not what I want, either.

Then what is?

We fight for his clients.

We keep who we can keep,

but his name stays up
no matter what.

I can live with that.

So can I.

- Louis.
- Henry, hi.

Thanks for getting back to me
so soon.

Listen, I--
about what I said earlier--

Don't give it
another thought.

I understand you're under
a lot of stress.

And I'm sorry to say
I'm about to add to it.

Don't tell me, they said

I'm not welcome
as keynote speaker.

Even if they didn't, Louis,

Harvard students are not
going to be fooled

by some speech.

They're going to respond
to your actions.

Oh, damn it, I'm taking
every action I can think of.

No, Louis,
you're bending over backwards

to avoid taking
the one action you should.

Thanks for trying, Henry.

Take care, Louis.

You look like you just got
some bad news.

I did.

This thing...

our reputation,
it's worse than I thought.

Actually...

that's what I'm here
to talk to you about.

No, I'm not doing it.

Louis, even Katrina knows
it's the right thing.

She went to you
behind my back?

She would have come in here
and told you that to your face,

but I didn't give her
the chance.

Why not?

Because I didn't want her
to hear that the Bar tried

to get me to take over
as managing partner.

- What? They can't do that.
- They can, and they have.

In '97, they got a name partner
to step in as managing partner

in exactly the same situation.

You're here to tell me
you're taking over.

I'm here to tell you
that if they can do that,

what else can they do?

- I don't know.
- And I don't want to find out.

- It's gonna require a vote.
- And we have two right here.

We need three.

You know that Samantha
will not say yes.

And neither will Donna,

since this whole thing
started with her.

- Harvey.
- He's our only chance.

- I say we go see him right now.
- No.

I went to him with something
like this before.

He didn't like it then

and he certainly won't
like it now.

And I'm telling you,
the only chance we have

of him saying yes
is if I go to see him alone.

Gina, I know Kaldor said

that if you went
with them, they'd--

Look...

If it's your final decision,

there's nothing left
for me to say.

That was one
of Robert's clients, wasn't it?

What can I say?
You win some. You lose some.

That's why I'm here, Harvey.

Been losing too many,

and we need
to put an end to this.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about
taking Robert's name down.

- Not gonna happen.
- Harvey--

Damn it, Louis,
I gave Samantha my word!

- You said--
- I know what I said.

But since then,
the Bar has been up our asses,

clients have been dropping
like flies,

and we are not gonna have
any associates next year

if we do not do this.

Now, Alex is with me.
That's two votes.

- Your vote makes it happen.
- Makes what happen, Louis?

Samantha, I was just
explaining to Harvey--

You weren't explaining shit.

You were going behind my back

trying to pull
Robert's name down,

and over my dead body
is that gonna happen.

Well, it is not only
up to you.

You gave me your word
that Robert's name stays up.

- Did you tell him that?
- Yes, I did.

Then what the fuck
is going on here?

What's going is,
if we don't do this,

this firm has no future.

Then let me be clear:
if you do this, I'm gone,

and you'll be lucky
if I don't go to the Bar

and tell them
what really happened.

You really think she's gonna
go to the Bar?

I don't know.

Well, God damn it, Harvey,
his name stays up

and his clients go, we might as
well just close up shop.

Then we'll just have
to make sure his clients stay.

What the hell does that mean?

It means we don't need
to take Robert's name down.

We just have
to keep his clients.

Well, we aren't
keeping his clients.

We haven't been, Louis,
but we can.

And I know just where to start.

Well, look what the cat
dragged in.

You're backing off,
and you're backing off now.

Whose am I getting,
Robert's or yours?

Wait, don't tell me,
don't tell me.

I wanna guess this one.

They're mine.

Wow, I would have
totally gotten that wrong.

You must really be
hating this right now.

What did she do
to convince you?

Why don't you just take
your win and go home, Eric?

It's no fun winning
if you can't rub it in.

I mean, I knew she had Zane

wrapped around her
little finger, I just didn't--

Finish that sentence, Eric.
Go ahead, finish that sentence.

- I'll treat 'em well.
- You do that.

And don't you ever say another
word about Robert again.

You trying to decide if
you're gonna kill Louis or not?

It's 50/50.

Well, if it makes
any difference,

Rand Kaldor
officially backed off.

Harvey gave his clients
to Eric?

He did.

But he still has one more
to give up,

and it's one of his favorites.

Brick Street Athletics.

- Why?
- He wanted to make a gesture.

He did, or you did?

He did, Samantha.

It was 100% his idea.

I just asked if I could be
the one to tell you

because it would give me
a chance to say something

that I need to say.

Donna, you don't have to.

I put myself over the firm,
and it cost you dearly.

And if I'm being honest,
if I could somehow go back

and take it all away,
I don't know if I would.

But I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

Donna...

he didn't just leave
because of you.

What?

He did something years ago...

for me.

It had been eating him up,
and I didn't know about it.

When he left, he told me,
and ever since then--

No wonder you were so upset.

You felt responsible.

He's gone, Donna.

I know.

But for what it's worth,

we're here
to pick up the slack.

I imagine you heard about
Zane's name staying up.

I did.

Look, I know it goes
without saying,

but I'm gonna say it anyway.

- I still owe you.
- No.

I asked you to convince Louis,
and you did that.

You don't owe me anything.

Well, I might not owe you,

but that doesn't mean
you can't still come knocking.

I guess this means
we're rolling the dice

that keeping Zane's clients
will be enough.

I guess it does.

Alex, I don't mean to pry,

but do you know something
I don't?

Nothing worth telling.

Night, Katrina.

I've got to admit,

I never thought
I'd see this place again.

Even with the furniture,
it's not the same without...

Harvey, why did you want me
to meet you here?

Mike asked me to rent it out
for them when they left.

I never did.

Well, it must have
cost them a fortune.

Didn't cost them a thing.

I created a fake tenant.

I've been paying rent
ever since.

In case they came back.

- I know it sounds crazy, but--
- It's not crazy.

You know, I'm glad
that Louis interrupted us

the other morning.

- You are?
- Yeah.

Gave me time to realize
I have more to tell you.

Like, about this apartment?

It used to remind me
of all the things I've lost.

But now it reminds me

of all the things...

you've helped me accept.

What do you mean?

I mean, a week ago
I never would have come over

knowing that you were
still with Thomas.

But that night,
I didn't even think about it,

because once it hit me
that we should be together,

it felt like
we've always been together.

Uh-oh, you're gonna
make me cry.

I'm just getting started.

I thought I was gonna lose
everything at that hearing,

and then I didn't.

But I felt empty.

And then I won...

and you weren't there.

What I'm trying to say
is that that night,

everything finally made sense.

I'm finally where
I'm supposed to be.

We both are.

What?

Guess whose name I put
on the fake lease?

Rick Sorkin.

Oh, my God, that's the kid
who didn't show up

for his interview
the day you hired Mike.

See?
That's what I love about you.

You get me.

"Love about me"?

Love about you.

- Louis Litt?
- Yeah.

My name is Faye Richardson.

I'm here on behalf of
the New York Bar Association.

Here to do what?

This is a court order
granting me full control

of your law firm

under the Bar's special
master provision.

No.

You can't do this.

You're correct.
You do have a choice.

You can refuse, in which case
tomorrow morning

the Bar will suspend
every partner in this firm

from practicing law
for six months.

You do that,
you might as well

take us apart brick by brick.

Be that as it may,

the only way
to avoid that outcome

is for you to sign
that document right now.
