[NARRATOR READS
ON-SCREEN TEXT]

It might be nice
to get to know each other.

What you mean
is you'd like

to impress
the new managing partner.

What if I did?
Wanna impress me?

Do it with a big client.
Zane promised Samantha

she'd be the next Name Partner.
You tell him

you made the same promise
to Alex?

No, I didn't.
You wanna take me on,

go for it.
I didn't get where I am

by letting people
push me.

David Fox wants a fight.

I'm gonna give him one.

A fight about what?

He doesn't wanna
pay overtime.

This isn't what we do.
Mike would have.

Mike's not here
because he came to terms

with the fact
this isn't what we do.

I'm not gonna
lose clients

because you decided
the staff

is more important
than this firm.

I didn't do anything
you didn't sign off on.

You don't go to war with the guy
that owns your house

over something like this.
End it, and end it today.

I wanna make
a perfect baby with you.

Are you sure?
Absolutely.

I don't wanna
just pull the goalie.

I wanna start trying.

I wanna
start trying now.

You promised Samantha her name
would go up next?
I did.

I made Alex the same promise.
I guess

there's only one thing to do.

Kick the can down the road.

You think we're in competition
for the same thing,

but we're not.
Robert Zane made me a promise.

The next name that goes up
on the wall is mine.

Bunny rabbit goes
around the tree once...

bunny rabbit goes
around the tree twice...

And I say bunny rabbit,
bunny rabbit, wanna play nice?

Sheila, what are you doing?
I'm hunting "wabbits."

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Not Fudd.

You know I can't resist
Elmer Fudd.

Why would you want to?
Oh, my God, Shelia,

I cannot right now.
Why not?

Because I have
a client meeting,

and it's not just me.
Zane's coming too.

So whatever you had in mind,
it's gonna have to wait.

All right.

I didn't wanna
have to do this, but...

I'm fertile...

and I am ripe
for the picking.

[♪♪♪]

So I don't care

whether you have
a meeting or not.

I'm gonna need
your Johnny Appleseed.

If there's one thing
that revs me up

more than Elmer Fudd
it's American folk heroes.

It's time for Paul Bunyan
to march across that forest

and take out his ax.
I'm gonna do more than that.

You wouldn't.
I would, because it's time

for John Henry to swing
the mighty hammer.
[GASPS]

♪ All night long ♪

Did you know?

Know what?
That Zane promised Samantha

she was
the next Name Partner.

Let's go back up
to my office.

You could use a drink.

What I could use
is some honesty.

Did you know?

Yeah, I knew.
Then why the hell

didn't you tell me?
Because no one's

deciding anything. I didn't
wanna upset you for no reason.

No reason? Zane promised--
I know what he promised.

But look, you got me,
and you got Louis.

That's two against one.

When the time's right,
we'll out-vote him.

When is the time
gonna be right?

Six months? A year?
Three years?
Alex--

I wanna know when you're
planning on getting the balls

to stand up to him and what I'm
supposed to do in the meantime.

I'll tell you. You're supposed
to have faith and sit tight.

If you were in my position,
would you sit tight?

It may not be easy,
but, yeah, I would.

That's funny,
because I recall you were in

a similar position years ago
with Jessica.

Instead of sitting tight,
you came to me

looking for another job.

Robert, how's Wayne?

ROBERT [ON PHONE]:
I'll tell you.

He's getting sued.
He wants to know

why his lawyer's not here.

Hold down the fort
for 10 minutes,

I'm almost there.
I didn't ask when.

I asked where you were.

That's kind of personal.
I feel kind of bad about that.

I've been standing with nothing
but my dick in my hand

the last 30 minutes.
If you wanna know, Sheila and I

are trying to have a baby.
She's not getting younger.

We're taking advantage
of any opportunity.

Why didn't you say so?
Get here as fast as you can.

Like I said,
I'll see you in 10.

MAN: Hey, buddy.
Yeah?

You know where a Rite Aid is?
I'm not from around here--

I don't give a shit
where you live.

Do what I say,
and you won't get shot.

You feel me?
Yeah, I feel you,

I feel you, I feel you.
Good, let's walk.

[♪♪♪]

[GUN COCKS]

Get on the ground, and don't
you fucking look at me.

Okay, okay.
Wallet and phone.

Where's the phone?
There's $1000 in there,

is that--
Is that not enough?

You think
we're negotiating, here?

No, there's pictures
on my phone I haven't backed up.

I don't give a shit!
[GROANS]

Here's my phone.

[GROANS]
Stay down.

Don't even move.

Shit...

Louis, aren't you supposed
to be out with Robert Zane?

I swear,
if you canceled that dinner

because they ran out
of paprika like last time I--

Oh, my God.
What happened, Louis?

Nothing.
Nothing?

You look like you've been
hit by a car.

A guy took my wallet
and my phone.

I didn't know what to do,
so I-I came here.

All right, I'm calling Sheila
and then Robert and--

You're not calling anyone,
Gretchen.

I don't want Robert to know.

You have to tell him
what happened.
I can't.

Why not?
Because he's

my new managing partner.
I do not want him

to know that I am weak.
Louis, you are not weak.

It could have happened
to anybody.

It happened to me.

That's why I don't
wanna tell him.

What are you gonna do?
He's gonna wanna know

why you didn't show up.
I'm gonna let him

think what he already thinks.

We were trying to have a child,
it took longer--

Gretchen, I'm done
talking about this.

Can you just please
let me be?

Okay, Louis,
I won't tell anybody.

I'm not going anywhere
until we patch you up.

[♪♪♪]

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

If you're not careful,
the bagel guy's

gonna figure out
you're cheating on him.

Who says this isn't a bagel?
Same person who says

you've got the sense of humor
of a five-year-old.

I am so gonna pull
your pigtails at recess.

You wanna keep going,
or can I ask you

a serious question?

You want the truth?
No.

I wanna talk to you
about doing more pro bonos.

Donna.
Harvey, listen to me.

That cleaning woman's case
was good for you,

and even though
Mike's not here,

I think we should
keep doing them.

Donna, I might be missing Mike,
but I'm not Mike.

And I have a meeting
in an hour.

You wanna take on a pro bono,
knock yourself out.

I do, and if you
don't want it,

I'm just gonna go ask Alex.
Not Alex.

He's not in the mood.
Why not?

He found out about Zane
promising Samantha

Name Partner last night.
What did you say?

I told him to sit tight.

Did you when you
were in the same position?

That's what he said.
If you don't want him

doing what you did,
then I suggest you do something

that makes him wanna stay.

Now, I'm gonna go
ask Katrina

if she wants to do
a pro bono.

[♪♪♪]

I don't care what it takes.

Get him in front
of that judge,

I'll get him off the hook.

Good.

I need you to bump this class
action to the front of the line.

Class action?
Yeah, why?

You got a problem?
No problem,

but litigation
isn't my specialty,

and you know it.
So, what's going on?

What's going on is,
this was

Louis' case,
and now it's yours.

How does Louis
feel about that?

I don't give a shit
how he feels.

Well, I do.

I got on good footing
around here,

I'm not looking to undo it.
I got to--

Hold on, now.
You are my go-to.

Don't play
office politics on me.

Robert, I played
office politics for you

for years, in case you forgot.
I didn't, but the man pulled

a no-show to a meeting
with his own client,

and I need to send a message.
So are you in or out?

[♪♪♪]

Okay, Robert.
I'm in.

I'm sure whatever it is
is very important, Harvey,

but I'm a little busy
right now.

Alex, you were right.

Sitting tight wouldn't fly
with me either.

I thought about it,
and I got an idea.

If it isn't you
and Louis telling Zane

my number's next, I'm not sure
I'm gonna like it.

What it is
is you doing something

to put you on the map
with Zane.

Paxson BioScience.
They're big. They're juicy.

We got a meeting
in a half an hour.

We?
Yeah, we.

Then forget it,
because if I don't

sign them alone,
Robert's not gonna care.

I'm doing the best
I can right now.

They're expecting me.
I don't show up,

it's not gonna look right.
You've got an answer

for everything?
Let's go down

and lock these guys down.
After that,

you have my word.
You're the attorney of record.

All right, Harvey.
Let's go lock 'em down.

[♪♪♪]

Carrie, Harvey Specter.

This is my partner,
Alex Williams.

I'm sorry, I was thinking
it was just gonna be

the two of us.
HARVEY: It's okay.

Anything you can say
in front of me,

you can say to Alex.

In that case...

CrytoGen.
They're worth 80 million,

but they're sitting
on billions of undeveloped IP.

I've been trying to buy them
two years.

You've used every tactic in
the book to force them to sell.

You're looking
to try some

that aren't in the book.

Of the 15 companies

that specialize
in financing that industry,

14 have suddenly
found themselves out

of the CrytoGen business.

And isn't it
the strangest coincidence

that the 15th just so happens
to be one of our clients?

The Lord works
in mysterious ways.

Are you asking us
to pressure one of our clients

into cutting off
this company's lifeline?

That would be
illegal.

I'm not asking you
to do anything.

But were that to happen,

you'd find yourself
with a huge new client.

That sounds
pretty interesting.

I say bullshit.
It's not gonna happen.

That's what it's gonna take
to get our business.

Why don't we listen--
I'm not looking to cross

the line for these guys.
I don't care if

they'll guarantee a year's
retainer in advance.

And what if I told you
that retainer

would match
your highest-billing client?

It's a mistake,
but if we're going do this,

we need to know
what we're getting involved in.

HARVEY:
He's right.
You want us to risk this,

we need to knew every source
of funding you choked off

and every other shady thing
you've done.

Like he said,
I need to know exactly

what I'm getting myself
involved in.

Then we'll have everything
over to you

by the end of the day.

Robert, got a sec?
No, Louis, I don't.

I know I said
that I'd be a little late--

Instead you decided
to tap your girlfriend

instead of doing
your job.

We're trying
to have children.

You also told me you were
on your way to the meeting.

I don't appreciate
being lied to.

Okay, listen to me.

I know I didn't show up,
but it doesn't matter.

Whatever their issue is
I can handle it.

You don't have to.
I already did.

What?
It means as of this morning,

Samantha Wheeler
is handling the matter.

You have plenty of time
for family planning.

I am Name Partner. This is
one of my oldest clients.

You can't do this to me.
I didn't do this to you.

You did it to yourself.

Robert, please.

You don't know
the whole story.

I know all I need to know.

Now get out of my office,
and don't ever lie to me again.

[♪♪♪]

I need you to get to the file
room right away and make

every document we have on
McKinley Outfitters disappear.

Can't do that.
I got instructions to send 'em

over to Samantha Wheeler's
office an hour ago.

How could you do that to me?

Robert Zane stood here
and gave me an order himself.

What choice did I have?
Goddamn it.

I didn't tell the man
what happened

because I promised I wouldn't.
But he's punishing you

for something
you don't deserve,

so why don't you
just tell him?

I'm not gonna look weak.

Him taking your client
because you don't

have the courage
to tell him the truth

doesn't
make you look strong.

Then I need
to take my client back.

How the hell
are you gonna do that?

She's a transactional woman.

I'll tell her
I owe her one.

You ask her
to go against Zane?

You might as well ask her
to set herself on fire.

If you'd help me instead
of telling me how weak I am,

we could
figure something out.

Louis, I am trying
to help you.

And if you can't see that,
then something's wrong.

Gretchen, please.
You're the only one who knows

that I had
my dignity taken last night.

I can't have it taken again.

[♪♪♪]

All right, Louis.

I help you with this,
I need to know

you're gonna be able
to keep it together.

All I need
is to take my client back.

That's all I need.
Okay.

As I see it,
you want McKinley back?

You need to put that woman
in a position

where she doesn't
have any choice.

[♪♪♪]

Sounds to me like the good folks
at Paxson BioScience

have been busy beavers.

You thinking
what I'm thinking?

I am.
If they're willing to do

this shady shit
because CrytoGen

has billions
in future revenue--

Why don't we skip
the shady shit,

represent CrytoGen now?

Exactly.
We got the road map

to keeping them
out of trouble.

Alex, you are
one devious motherfucker.

Thanks, I'll take that
as a compliment.

You're a real
asshole of a guy.

[LAUGHS]

Seriously, Harvey.

We're using information
they gave us

in the context
of a meeting.

That's a little shady itself.

You sure you're okay with it?
I am.

Besides,
what are they gonna do?

Tell the police they asked us
to rob a bank.

By the time they got there,
we moved all the money?

The only thing left to do
is close CrytoGen.

All right, I'll set it up.
No.

You needed to be
at that last meeting.

You don't this one.

Alex--
Let's not forget

why you came to me with this.

Let me bring this one home.

All right.
They're all yours.

[♪♪♪]

You wanted to see me?
I did.

Well, I'm glad you did,
because I heard

that you gave one
of Louis's clients to Samantha.

I don't wanna tell you
how to run the firm, Robert,

but I think
that's a bad idea.

Well, that's not exactly
what I wanted to talk about,

but I think
it's a good platform.

I don't follow.
I'm gonna tell you

how to do yours.
Excuse me?

Did you assign
Katrina Bennett

a pro bono
without running it by me?

I didn't know I needed
to run it by you.

You do when that client
happens to conflict

with someone
I'm trying to sign.

I didn't know they did.
Which is why you run it by me.

What is more important
is what is a COO of a law firm

doing handing out pro bonos?

I thought it was good--
It's a rhetorical question.

I don't care what you thought.
Understood.

Is that all?
No, it's not.

What a COO should be doing

is maximizing our revenue
per square foot,

which starts by an assessment
of our revenue per square foot.

That's not really
what I do.

It is now.
I want a report on my desk

by end of day tomorrow.

Does this have anything
to do with Louis?

I don't think--
It has to do with Louis lying,

and Harvey getting into it
with the landlord,

and now you,
which all adds up

to this firm not operating
the way it should

and me getting
a little tired of it.

Now, that's all.

[♪♪♪]

Ah, Samantha.
You look nice this evening.

Don't give me that shit.
You wanna tell me

why you set
a motion to dismiss on a case

I just got
three hours ago?

I was just doing you a favor.

But if you wanna cancel it,
you go right ahead.

It's your case.
What do you mean "a favor"?

We have two weeks
to get this suit thrown out.

The faster we file it, the
more serious they know we are.

Now that you've said it,
if I delay it,

I look unprepared.
Which you are,

you haven't been their attorney
for the last 13 years.

I get it. If I tell Robert
what you did, I look weak.

But if you let me help you,
we both look strong.

Why didn't you
just come to me,

and ask me to be
let in on this?

We both know
that you would have said no.

[CHUCKLES]

I have to admit,
if I didn't know any better

I'd say you're a badass.
You think I'm a badass now,

wait until we get
that lead plaintiff

in front of the judge
tomorrow.

[♪♪♪]

Hey.
Don't "hey" me.

Did you sign 'em?
Sure did, but get this.

These guys aren't exactly
Little Red Riding Hood

running away
from the Big Bad Wolf.

What?
Our first assignment,

is to trick
their best employee

into a lifetime
of servitude.

Don't tell me you're pulling
a Mike Ross and having

second thoughts on me.
I'm just saying,

there aren't any saints
in this situation.

But you know what, brother?

That's why we make
the big bucks.

Well then,
pour us a couple of drinks,

and I'll fax the cease
and desist order right away.

ROBERT:
You're not faxing shit.

Think you can take a meeting
with a prospective client,

try to screw them,
they wouldn't catch wind?

I don't care.

Nothing they
can do about it.

Bullshit, they can let
every major player know

we don't deal
in good faith.

They have the decency
to give us a chance

to make it right,
and you're gonna take it.

If you're saying
what I think--

I'm saying
drop the small potato,

and sign Paxson
like you said you would.

You wanna talk bad faith?
We went in there,

and they all but asked us
to commit a crime.

Then don't sign 'em.
But what you don't do

is use the information
you got from them

to sign a guy
they were going after.

Last time I checked,
I can sign

whoever the hell
I wanna sign.

I cut you some slack
on that landlord thing.

But I'm running this firm,
not you.

You're gonna do
what I tell you.

You gonna tell me what suit
to wear?
Listen.

Tomorrow morning, I come in,
Paxson's our client.

And I'm done discussing
this topic.

[♪♪♪]

Harvey,
maybe it isn't worth it.

Relax, he'll calm down
once he realizes

that small potato
is not so small.

Are you crazy?
This is about chain of command.

The reason
we signed those guys

was to impress him.

You were the one
who wanted me

to have the balls
to stand up to him.

I don't give a shit
what the chain of command is.

No way
I'm backing down now.

I told you, it's not like
these guys are saints.

What they're having me do--
Alex, that's enough.

I'm not interested
in you second-guessing me,

and I'm not interested in you
doing it on Zane's behalf.

So you wanna have a drink

and celebrate
signing a new client or not?

[♪♪♪]

[PHONE RINGING]

Robert,
what are you doing here?

I'm here because
it's tomorrow morning,

and you didn't
sign Paxson yet.

Look, Robert,

this is between
you and Harvey.

I'm making it
between you and me.

What are you saying?

I'm saying you're
a smart guy.

We both know what
your endgame is at this firm.

If you want that game to be
a reality, you do what I need.

You threatening my job?
I'm telling you how it is.

You dealt with that client
in bad faith,

and I'm dealing with you
in good faith.

Doesn't feel like it.
Didn't say I was giving you

kid gloves, I said I was
playing you straight.

The truth is I like you,
always have.

But if you don't get yourself
on the right of this thing,

you're never gonna go further
than you are now.

Robert--
Drop 'em!

I don't wanna hear another
goddamn thing about it.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, what's our plan?

Okay, listen up.
They don't know it,

but we're gonna file
a change of venue

in addition
to our motion to dismiss.

Changing the venue to Omaha
doesn't help us.

The laws are harsher.

Doesn't matter,
the jury won't be.

What do you mean?

This lawsuit
wasn't just filed

by a random bunch
of disgruntled backpackers.

It was orchestrated.
By who?

Our biggest competitor.

And it just so happens Omaha
used to be their headquarters.

Which is now a ghost town.
We go after them in Omaha,

they're gonna get
their asses kicked.

They'll have no grounds to fight
the change of venue,

because it's against
our interests.

Exactly.
Louis, this is genius.

Yeah, I know.
But like I said,

you think I'm a genius now,
you just wait.

By the end of today,
they're gonna be paying us.

[PHONE VIBRATES]
BAILIFF: All rise.

Oh, shit, I have an emergency
with my oldest client.

Sure you got this?
Oh, I got this.

I feel bad because
you're not gonna get to see it.

Hm.

All right.

We're here for a motion
to dismiss.

Mr. Litt,
do you have your paperwork?

Your Honor, I'm sorry,
but due to recent information

coming to light,
we need to alter our motion

to change of venue.
LAWYER: What?

They have-- They have
no basis for that.

We believe we do, Your Honor.
Which is why we'd like to call

their lead plaintiff
to the stand.

[♪♪♪]

Mind if I cut in?
That depends, is it urgent?

To tell you the truth, it is.

Zane already thinks
I overstep my bounds.

I don't need him
to think

I can't hand in
my homework on time.

If that's what
he thinks about you,

you can have the copier,

and Robert Zane
can go fuck himself.

Hey.
Everything okay?

Never been better.
Alex.

I'm really
not in the mood.

Yeah, I can see that,
and I don't care.

What's going on?
All right, you want to know?

First thing this morning,
Zane tells me

unless I sign Paxson, my name's
never going up on that wall.

What? Have you told Harvey?
What good would it do?

He's the one who put me
in this situation.

I thought you were on board
with going after CrytoGen.

I don't give a shit.

Zane didn't wanna,
I was ready to back off.

Then back off.
And I do that,

I kiss my chances
at Name Partner goodbye,

You're not giving
Harvey enough credit.

He said, and I quote:

"I'm not interested

in you second-guessing me
on Robert Zane's behalf."

Good.
What do you mean, "good"?

I mean you're in a
Kobayashi Maru.

What does sushi
have to do with this?

It's not sushi,
it's from Star Trek,

and Harvey's been talking
about it for a hundred years.

I always thought it was
bullshit, but maybe it's not.

What do you mean?
I mean, sooner or later,

everyone finds themselves
walled into a no-win situation.

This one's yours,
and the way to prove yourself

to both Harvey and Zane
is to find a way out anyway.

Well, thanks, Donna.
Here I thought going to Harvard

was the way to get ahead,
when really,

I should have just been
watching old Star Treks.

I didn't.
Unless the answer

is in an episode
of Cagney & Lacey--

I'm trying to help you.

I'm not in the goddamn mood.

Then let me
put it another way.

Unless you can get your name
on the wall someplace else,

I suggest you stop worrying
and start finding the solution.

If you can't find a way to get
yourself out of this situation,

maybe you don't deserve to be
Name Partner after all.

[♪♪♪]

So Mr. Larson, when did you
decide to file this lawsuit?

About a week
after I found out

hackers stole
my information.

So you were upset, and then
you contacted a lawyer.

Actually, my attorney
reached out to me.

Wasn't that convenient?

Soliciting clients
isn't a crime.

It's not relevant
to change of venue.

Isn't it?
When your lawyer approached,

what was the fee
you were quoted?

Ten percent,
contingent on winning.

And are you aware
that the normal fee

for this type of case is
three times that?

I'm not one
to say no to a bargain.

The bargain where my client's
biggest competitor

was paying your lawyers?
What?

Objection, speculative.

It won't be
when he answers.

Where is this going?

I'll tell you
where it's going.

It's going to
conspiracy charges

because he approached him

to put my client
out of business.

I didn't--

I don't--
Answer the question.

I didn't ask how my lawyer
makes his ends meet,

because I'm focused on mine.
LOUIS: Let's focus on yours.

Because if I find out
that you knew they were driving

this lawsuit,
and you lied,

oh, I'm gonna come
for your house.

I'm gonna come
for your pension--

Objection.
Your daughter's piggy bank.

Badgering.
I'm not doing anything

a federal prosecutor won't do

if he doesn't tell the truth.
You are.

You are pointing a gun
at my client's head.

I'm sure you wouldn't like it
if I pointed a gun at yours.

[♪♪♪]

JUDGE:
Mr. Litt?

[SLOWLY]
Mr. Litt?

Lay down and shut up.

And this time,
you don't give me your wallet

and give me your phone,
and keep your mouth shut,

I won't just kick you.

I'll pull this trigger,

and you'll never see anyone
you care about ever again.

[♪♪♪]

Mr. Litt, for the last time,
do you have anything further?

[♪♪♪]

Motions to dismiss
and change of venue are denied.

[GAVEL BANGS]

[♪♪♪]

You and I need to talk,
and we need to talk right now.

No, we don't. If you know what's
good for you, you'll get out.

I'm not going anywhere
until you explain to me

how one minute, you're ready to
book one-way tickets to Omaha,

and the next minute,
I find out we've all but lost.

You weren't there.
You don't know what happened.

I know that.
That's what I'm doing here.

And I told you to get out.
And I told you

I'm not going anywhere until
you tell me what happened.

Listen to me.
I did the best I could,

and I do not want to
talk about this anymore.

The best you could?

You're not some
first-year associate.

You're a goddamn
Name Partner,

who bullied his way
onto my case.

Next thing I know,
you've laid down like a dog,

let yourself get kicked--
You weren't there!

You weren't there.

You don't know
the shit I went through.

You never will.

Now back the hell off,

and get the hell
out of my office.

[♪♪♪]

Louis, relax.
I was just trying to--

Get the hell out!

Harvey, can I talk to you
for a second?

Sure,
what's on your mind?

I just got a call
from Holly Cromwell.

Don't tell me,
she's got another firm

wanting to recruit you, and
you're looking to leverage us.

Harvey, this is serious.
What is it?

She told me that
Alex Williams called

to see what he could get
in the marketplace.

Bullshit.
It's not bullshit.

He wants to know
the odds

of getting his name
on the wall elsewhere.

I don't believe it.
How could he do this to me?

Instead of thinking
about how he could,

you might want
to think about why.

I don't care why.
You should.

You made it personal
between you and Zane.

Alex became
an afterthought.

How do you even know
about this?

Because before he talked
to Holly, he talked to me.

Which is why I know
that Zane went to Alex

this morning and told him
if he didn't sign Paxson,

he'd never make Name Partner
here at all.

Where is he?

Harvey,
if you confront Zane,

it'll just
make things worse.

I don't care.
I am not going to let him

bully my guy
into submission.

[♪♪♪]

Hang up the phone
right the hell now.

Don't walk into my office
and tell me that.

So I can't,
but you can walk into

my guy's office
and threaten his career?

I didn't threaten his career.
I told him like it was.

That's not your call.
Bullshit, it's not.

I gave you an order.
If you're not gonna follow it,

I'm going to
the next man down.

If he doesn't listen,
he never gets my vote.

So he's got to listen to you,
but not to me?

What the hell do you think
Managing Partner means?

Well, if this
is what it means,

then maybe
I made a bad call

in being gracious
and letting you have it.

You weren't gracious.
You were recognizing reality.

Which is that I'm better
at this than you.

And what
you're better at

is doing whatever you feel
at any goddamn minute.

What I feel like saying
right now is,

Alex is my guy.

He does what I say,
and that's final.

That's too bad. I didn't do
what either of you said,

and it's too late
to take it back.

I don't
believe this.

Are you saying
you took another job?

No, I got someone else
to take another job.

What are you talking about?
CrytoGen wanted me

to trick their biggest asset
into a lifetime of servitude.

I informed him of his right
to go on his own

and signed him
as our newest client.

Are you out of your mind?
I told you to sign Paxson.

The reason was
you didn't want us

dealing with them
in bad faith.

Now we didn't.
All we did

was take a meeting
and not sign them.

You still didn't do
what I asked.

You didn't do
what I asked, either.

Right, I didn't.
If all you want

is a yes-man,
then what am I doing?

Listen to me.
No, listen to me.

I signed a client
that'll be worth

a huge amount
to this firm.

I'm a hell
of a goddamn lawyer,

and if you can't see that,

I don't want my name
next to yours.

Alex--
No, I said what I had to say.

As far as I'm concerned, you
two need to work your shit out.

[♪♪♪]

I don't know about you,

but I like the guy
when he's angry.

Yeah, you would.
That's the same flavor

of bullshit
you served Jessica.

What now?

I need to talk to you
about your partner.

You mean Robert?
I mean Louis Litt.

What about him?
Something's wrong with him.

Before you tell me
I don't know him,

I'm telling you,
this isn't normal behavior.

Even for a man
with his reputation.

How can you know?
How about I start by saying

he stood up his own clients
at a meeting with Robert Zane?

And then somehow
shit the bed in court

on a case
he had in the bank.

I'm not even
gonna get into

how he treated me when
I tried to ask about it.

Does anyone else
know about this?

Judging by the look I saw
on his secretary's face,

I'd say she does.

I'd also say she's not
gonna tell me a thing.

Why are you telling me
about this, and not Robert?

Because I may be new here,

but I know what friendship
looks like.

And right now, I'm telling you.
Louis Litt needs a friend.

[♪♪♪]

Harvey.
Louis.

You got
any plans tonight?

I was thinking we could
go out for dinner.

Oh, that's not
gonna work for me.

I have to get home to Sheila.
Come on.

We've got some stuff
to catch up on.

What stuff?
From what I hear,

you've had
a rough couple days.

It's all good, Harvey.
Nothing to worry about.

All good?
Come on.

I ask you to dinner
once in a blue moon,

and whenever I do,
you drop everything.

I used to,
but I have Sheila now,

so if you'll
excuse me.

You're not leaving
until I get an answer.

Don't hide
behind Sheila.

Get the hell off me!

What's going on, Louis?

Nothing.
You can talk to me.

About what, there's nothing--
Why'd you roll over in court?

Why'd you no-show at dinner?
Please stop.

Why do you need me
to stop, Louis?

What are you so scared of?
Goddamn it, I was mugged.

I was mugged, and I thought
I was gonna die, okay?

He had a gun...

that he had pressed
to the back of my head.

I can still feel it.

Is that what you wanna hear?
Because that's what's going on.

It's okay, buddy.
You're okay.

But it's not okay, Harvey.
It's not. I'm a mess.

I'd be a mess too.
Anyone would.

[♪♪♪]

What if it doesn't go away?
It will.

I don't know
how long it will take,

or when it'll happen,
but I know one thing.

It won't go away
if you don't talk about it,

and I don't just mean therapy.
Harvey--

Look, you have people here
who care about you.

Don't hide it from them.
I'm not telling Robert.

Why not?
Because you're my friend,

and he's my boss.
And he just got here,

and I cannot have him
see me as weak.

He won't think you're weak.

He'll think you're strong
for telling him.

But I won't be strong.
I'm gonna turn into this.

Look at me, Harvey.
Look at me.

[SNIFFS]

I can't have him
see me like this.

Why don't I tell him for you?

We've got some things
to work out between us anyway.

Thank you, Harvey.
That would be nice.

[SNIFFS]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

What is it, Donna?
DONNA: I have your report.

But before you read it,
I need to tell you

what I told you before.

This isn't really
what I do.

Why bring it to me at all?
You asked for it.

More importantly, what I do
is what you need right now.

So let me
get this straight.

You're gonna come here
with a half-assed

excuse for a report,
and tell me what I need?

I am, because
while you wanted me

to spend my time
on something you could've

hired an accounting firm for,
I was busy working my ass off

maximizing revenue per square
foot the old fashioned way.

By keeping this place together.
What?

Between picking a fight
with Harvey,

taking a client
from Louis,

and whatever
you've been up to,

you didn't notice
one of your attorneys

was thinking about
leaving.

Now, thanks to me,
he's gonna stay.

You're talking
about Alex?

Yes, of course
I'm talking about Alex.

Then Donna, I appreciate
what you did.

But if he left, he left.
So be it.

Because if I'm gonna
lead this firm,

people need to follow
my orders.

Maybe the problem isn't
with the orders, Robert.

Maybe it's with the man
who's giving them.

You may not wanna hear this,
but I'm gonna say it anyway.

You think that the reason
Rand and Kaldor turned on you

is because you had
a soft spot for us.

I think it's because you didn't
have a soft spot for them.

And if you treat us
the way you treated them,

the same thing's
gonna happen here.

I can't just let everyone
do what they want.

It's not in me.

I'm just saying, sometimes
we need to be smacked in line,

and sometimes,
you need to let us do

what we do
the way we do it.

[♪♪♪]

I'm going to farm out
this revenue per square foot

to an accounting firm.

Thanks, Robert.

[LAUGHS]

What?

I knew you did this
whisperer shit with Harvey,

but I didn't think
you'd ever do it to me.

I'm gonna let you in
on a little secret, Zane.

I do it to everybody.

[LAUGHS]

Alex,
you got a second?

ALEX:
That depends on
what you're here to say.

I'm here to say
I'm sorry.

I put you in a position
that I shouldn't have,

but I also want to say

you didn't have to talk
to that headhunter.

Yeah, Harvey, I did.
Why?

You wanna know
the truth?

I had to know what kind
of leverage I had.

It turns out, there wasn't
anybody willing

to put my name on the wall
any faster than you.

Which left me open
to hear Donna's bullshit.

"Bullshit"?
It's really your bullshit.

She said I was in
a no-win situation.

And I could bitch
about it,

or I could get out
of it myself.

Kobayashi Maru.
Yep.

Yeah, well, you got yourself
out pretty damn well,

and I'm not the only one
who thinks so.

Zane was
pretty impressed too.

Then I guess
I got the job done.

And maybe I should have
watched a little Star Trek

growing up after all.
What?

How could you never
watch it?

It's a stupid show
with shitty effects.

You realize I love that show.
I don't care.

It's a stupid show
with shitty effects.

You may be
a hell of a lawyer,

but if you can't
appreciate Star Trek,

you're nothing.
Captain Kirk is

the best television
character ever.

I've got two words for you,
motherfucker.

Magnum, P.I.

Those are fighting words,
you know.

They're not fighting words,
they're drinking words.

So sit on down,
and let's hash this out

like two people who can
both appreciate M.A.S.H.

Sounds good to me.

[♪♪♪]

[KNOCKS]

Robert.
Before you say anything,

let me just say that
I'm sorry for what happened,

and I'm more sorry
for how I treated you.

I appreciate that,
Robert.

But this was my fault,
not yours.

Louis, this is not
your fault.

And I want you to know
you could have come to me.

I just felt
so powerless.

Of course you did.
You were a victim.

But that doesn't mean
you have to feel like one.

How can I not feel like one?

Louis, I'm gonna tell you
something nobody knows.

I grew up in a rough place
with rough people.

Don't tell me you know
what it's like to get mugged?

What I'm trying to tell you
is I know what it's like

to be on the other end of it.
What?

I was 14 years old.

My friends were all I knew,
and I loved them.

But they were messed up.

And one night,
they get it in their heads

that they were gonna
roll somebody,

and I got caught up in it.

The guy fought back.
We had no choice.

We beat him good,
put him in the hospital.

Jesus.
I know.

And I only did it once,

and it's haunted me
my whole life.

It still does.

Are you saying
I should feel sorry

for the man who mugged me?

No, no, no,
I'm not saying that, Louis.

I'm saying that someday,

he's gonna have to
face up to who he is,

and he'll carry that shame
for a lifetime.

But you don't have to,
because this doesn't have

a single thing to do
with who you are.

You hearing me?
I'm hearing you.

Good, and Louis,
we are a family here.

So from now on,
I want you to remember

you can share things
with your family.

Okay.
I mean, for God's sake.

You didn't think twice
about telling me

you were tapping your woman.

That's a fair point.
Mm-hm.

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTS SOFTLY]

Uh, okay. Good man.

You heading home
for the night?

DONNA: I was, why?
I just wanted to let you know

I talked to Alex,
and it's all good.

That's great, Harvey.
Just one thing.

Turns out that he didn't
call Holly Cromwell.

She called him.
So?

So if she called him,
why would she then call you

and say he called her?
I guess she wouldn't.

I guess I must have called her,
and told her to call him.

Mind if I ask why?
Because, Harvey.

Sometimes people just need
to know where they stand.

What if he'd been able
to leverage himself

into Name Partner
somewhere else?

Then you and Robert Zane
would learn

that if you can't
figure shit out,

the only people who are
gonna get hurt are you.

[♪♪♪]

Samantha,
what are you doing here?

I wanna talk
to you.

Look, if this
is about earlier--

It is about earlier,
but not how you think.

I came here to tell you
that the same thing

that happened to you
happened to me.

Robert told you, didn't he?
He did.

And when it happened,
he was there for me.

So now I'm gonna
be there for you.

What do you mean
"he was there"?

That's not important.
What is important

is you're gonna start
learning self-defense.

And you're gonna start
right now.

I really appreciate
you coming by, okay?

But I'm gonna go inside.

Tell me
the truth.

When you saw me there,
and couldn't make out

whether it was me or not,
you were scared, right?

I don't wanna learn
self-defense.

Do me a favor.
Try to hit me.

I'm not gonna hit you.
Try to hit me.

Okay.

Ready? Boop.

That's crazy, right--
Would you just

try to hit me?
All right, fine.

All right, mother--

Oh, my God.

You could kill someone,
couldn't you?

Probably, but the point is,
they couldn't kill me.

Now, get up, it's time
for your first lesson.

First things first, you got to
be aware of your surroundings,

and you got to learn
how to stand.

[♪♪♪]

Okay.

Show me.
Okay.

You want to
stabilize your core,

so one foot slightly
behind the other,

about hip-width
apart.

See how it stabilizes?
The core.

Yeah.
So how many calories

have I burned
just now?

Three.

Just because
you're talking so much.

Right, okay.
Yeah.

All right.
Uh--

Now smack me.
