What is that?

A list of ethical violations
Samantha Wheeler engaged in

over the course of six
years as my attorney.

I'm not ruining Samantha's
career. This is not a suggestion.

It is an order, and if
you don't use this, I will,

and if I do it, Alex, I'll be
going straight to the bar.

So what'd you find? Nothing.

Bullshit. We've had
information that your firm...

I don't care what you've got,
and if you unseal my records,

the firm of rand kaldor Zane
will come after you

for malicious prosecution.

I noticed I had
a voice mail from Brian.

What did he say?

I deleted it
without even listening.

Katrina, that's amazing.

Thank you, Donna.

You bribed Charles hu
to say I contacted him

a year and a half ago.

Now I can't dispute it

because we're on record
saying this guy's a Saint.

Mike, I had nothing
to do with this.

Well, if itwasn't you,
then it was her.

You lied to me.

All I did was produce a piece of evidence
that proves exactly what we know he did.

You didn't produce it,
you fabricated it

because you can't stand
someone getting the better of you.

Well, I don't trust you anymore.

We were about to lose, and
evidence shows up that saves the day.

Harvey didn't do anything.
Then it was you.

As of this second, you're fired.

Hello?

Faye on phone: Did /
catch you at a bad time?

What is it, Faye?

I'm calling because I wanted you to
be the first to know I fired Samantha.

What?

I had reason to suspect she
crossed a line with Mike Ross.

Reason to suspect, or evidence?

I don't need evidence.
She all but admitted it.

Well, that doesn't sound
like something she'd admit to.

I didn't call to debate
my decision, Donna.

When I came here I laid down one
rule, play it straight or you're fired.

I'm sorry, but she had to go.

And why exactly are
you calling me with this?

Because you pride yourself
on keeping this place together,

and right now
your people need you.

You mean you want me
to stop them from retaliating

against your bullshit move.

Donna, you and I both know your
colleagues are going to act against me,

and it won't be through
proper channels.

And if you don't stop them from doing it,
I don't see this firm surviving the year.

Samantha, what are you doing...

Ljustgotfued, robefl.

I didn't know where else to go.

Okay, why don't you come in,
tell me what happened.

Well, I didn't come to
talk about what happened,

I came to talk about
what's going to happen.

Well, I can answer
that right now.

Nota damn thing.

Robert, she took my job.

If you think I'm just
gonna sit back and...

What I think is you
pulled some kind of shit

with your Mike Ross case.

That's right.
I heard what happened.

And I would bet my life
that Faye figured it out

and the chickens have
come home to roost.

So you're not gonna help me?

Of course I am.

But knowing your partners,

they're coming up with a
plan to get that woman out

on her ass right now.

So you are going to sit tight and
have faith in them to make it happen.

I'm not so sure they are
coming up with a plan.

Why not?

Because Harvey's the reason
I got fired in the first place.

Louis: Nice of you
to show up, Harvey.

Don't give me that shit, Louis.

I came as soon as I
heard. What are we doing?

I'll tell you what we're doing.
We're getting Samantha herjob back.

And like I was just saying,
Faye's never going to agree to that.

She will if we could find
something on her we could use.

Harvey, we try to play dirty, she
won't rollover, she'll expose us.

Well, how do you suggest
we get Samantha back?

Buy Faye a kitten?

I'm not saying we don't
look for something.

I'm saying when we find it,
we bring it to the bar

and we have them remove her.

And that's great, but they're not
just gonna give us the firm back.

They're gonna send in
a replacement.

So what? It can't
be worse than Faye.

Bullshit, it can't.

Am I the only one
who's seen Terminator 2?

You've seen Terminator 2?

I can't believe he's seen
Terminator 1.

I can't believe we're still up here
talking instead of executing a plan.

Speaking of which, what
exactly has Faye ever done

to make us think that
she's anything but ethical?

As far as I can tell,
her record is spotless.

Well, I don't care
what her record is.

Everybody's got something.
We just have to find it.

Then it's agreed.

We do whatever it takes to find
something to get her out that door.

Agreed.

Whatever it takes.

See the money,
wanna stay for your meal

get another piece of pie
for your wife

everybody wanna know how it feel

everybody wanna see
what it's like

I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind

me and missy is so early

busy, busy making money

all right!

All step back I'm 'bout to dance

the greenback boogie

you know, when I
took that bullet for you,

it was because I trusted that

you would watch out
for Samantha.

I am watching out for her,
Robert. We all are.

Then tell me what you're
doing to get her back.

We're digging into Faye
and we're gonna force her out.

Well, that's a nice concept,
but what are the specifics?

I'm working on it, Robert.

I don't wanna hear
that you're working on it.

I wanna hear that
you're doing it.

Unless there's some reason
that you don't want to do it.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that you read Samantha
the riot act for pulling the same shit

you've done a thousand times,
only this time it was against Mike!

Look, I came down on her
because she lied to my face.

And I'd do it again, but that doesn't mean
I'm gonna let Faye come after my family.

Well, I hate to
break it to you, Harvey,

but you're the reason that Faye
fired Samantha in the first place.

That's right.

That thing you would do again,

you did in the middle of
Samantha's office and Faye saw it.

Robert, I didn't know.

Well, now you do.

And I told Samantha that you
would move heaven and earth

to get her back, so get upstairs
and start making it happen.

Katrina: Brian.

What are you doing here?

Didn't you get my voice mail?

I got it. I've just
been very busy.

Well, that's too bad.

I was hoping you'd have
time to prepare yourself.

Prepare myself for what?

I'm representing the
founder of curt's coffee.

We believe he's entitled
to a piece of the company

he didn't receive when
his partners forced him out.

Curt wasn't forced
out of anything, Brian.

He chose to leave.

And he was fairly
compensated at the time.

He was ripped off, Katrina.

I see what this is.

You know the parties,

and you think I'll cut you
a check to go away.

No, I don't.

And even if you tried
that, I wouldn't take it.

And who's to say
it would be your choice?

What do you mean?

I mean, you have
a clear conflict.

You represented them
when you worked here.

So what's to stop me from
throwing you off the case?

Nothing.

Except I need this.

This move hasn't gone great,

so when the partners
brought me this case...

You couldn't say no.

I didn't want to say no.

Because taking on a lawyer
like you sends a message.

All right, Brian.

I won't throw you off the case, but
I will be filing a motion to dismiss.

I'd expect nothing less.

It's good to see you, Katrina.

Harvey: Louis, good.

Please tell me you thought
of a place to start digging.

I did. Faye's first day here.

Gretchen said the way she got
on the bar's radar in the first place

was by firing her husband
for doing something unethical.

Then this is it.

If anyone knows anything,
it'll be him.

There's just one problem.

What if he won't
talk shit about her?

Louis, there's no way
someone's married to that woman

for more than three days and
doesn't want to talk shit about her.

That's not what I meant.

Their divorce settlement
was sealed.

So it's not that he won't
want to give us anything,

he may not be able to.

That's what I'm telling you.

Well, if he's not willing
to give us what we need,

then we're just gonna
have to make him.

What's that?

A lawsuit, and you're
the lead plaintiff.

You want me to sue my own firm?

Not the firm. Faye.

She clearly has a problem
with strong women.

Alex... think about it.

She tried to strip you
of your vote.

She took Gretchen
from Louis against her will

and now she fired
Samantha without proof.

That's a pattern,
and we can win.

I don't care what
you think we can do.

I am not gonna go after another
woman under false pretenses.

What's the matter with you?
We said "whatever it takes."

Well, ldidn't.

And in case it hasn't gotten
through your head yet,

shit like this is why she's
here in the first place.

God damn it.

You telling Thomas about that deal
is what got her here in the first place.

I'm sorry, Donna. I
shouldn't have said that.

Alex, what's going on?

Faye asked me to spy on Samantha

because she suspected Samantha
might do exactly what she did.

I could've warned her,
and I didn't.

Alex.

It's not exactly news that
Faye was keeping an eye on us.

She told us that three
seconds after she got here.

Samantha knew that, and she
chose to cross a line anyway.

And, come to think of it, what do
you think she's doing right now?

Probably nothing good.

My thoughts exactly.

So instead of feeling badly
about not warning her,

I'd say you go stop her
from making things worse.

Appreciate you meeting me, Tom.

I wasn't sure you would.

Neither was I.

But I figured if you had
the balls to call me,

I should at least hear you out.

Well, I can't say
I regret what I did,

but there may be a way
for us to work together now.

In other words,
you need something.

I do.

And I'd be willing
to owe you one in exchange.

First, tell me what it
is you're looking for.

A lawyer named Faye Richardson.

The bar put her into our firm

and I want to give them
a reason to pull her out.

What makes you think
there's something to find?

No one gets through life
without doing something.

You want the FBI to go
on a fishing expedition?

I can make that happen.

But I'm not about
to get burned twice.

So this time, before
I deliver for you,

you're gonna deliver for me.

Gavin Andrews?

You want me to
turn on my own client?

Not your client. A client of
the firm that just fired you.

And I'm still covered by privilege
for anything I knew before yesterday.

Then get some shit
on him starting today.

I can't. He doesn't
trust me anymore.

Then this meeting is over.

Damn it, there's
gotta be something...

There is. This.

You want my help,
this is the price.

And it's not negotiable.

Sorry to keep you
gentlemen waiting.

Had to gather these up and...

All right.

What's going on here?

What are you talking about?

Well, I was told you two were
looking to buy a term life policy.

But there's no way
he is marrying you.

You know what, I have
a lot of great qualities

and you don't know
a goddamn... Louis!

Look, you're right.

We're not here to buy insurance.

We're here because your
ex-wife is overseeing our firm.

Let me just venture
a guess here.

You two are not thrilled
with the way things are going,

and you're looking to dig up
some dirt on her.

But first we need to know
why you left the law.

Well, I was just like you two,
a big-time corporate attorney.

But I wasn't very happy
grinding out deals,

so I took up
high-profile litigation.

Class action.

And class action requires money.

Money those people didn't have.

So what'd you do?

I overbilled our three biggest
clients and I shifted the money around

to finance
the contingency cases.

And you got caught
when you lost.

I never lost.

Faye figured it out.

She fired me on the spot
and then she ratted me out

to the ethics board
the very next day.

Fifteen years of marriage, and
she turned on me like it was nothing.

Well, she might not be
wife of the year,

but she's not exactly
looking like the bad guy here.

Not to mention, you never
got your license taken away.

Did I say that was
the end of the story?

Faye used the threat of losing my
license as leverage in the divorce.

And once she squeezed
the last nickel out of me,

she called off the dogs.

You're saying she
turned you over to the bar,

then undid the whole thing
just for money?

If you don't believe me,

take a look at the terms
of the divorce settlement.

The fact that they never took
my license and then you tell me

that Faye didn't manipulate
the whole goddamn thing.

Are you willing to show us that
settlement even though it's sealed?

She already took me
to the cleaners once.

What's she gonna do,
do it again?

I'll be done in a minute, Susan.

I'm not here
for the copy machine.

I wanted to talk to you.

I couldn't help but notice
Brian here earlier today.

Whatever it is,
Susan, get to it.

Because ifyou're here
to blackmail me again...

I'm not here to blackmail you.

I'm here to help you.

I know how good Brian is and I
can imagine going up against him

isn't going to be easyforyou.

I'm a senior partner, Susan.

I'm more than capable of
handling myself in a court of law.

I meant, if for some
reason things got personal

between the two of you, I
already know what happened

and I can be there
to support you.

I don't know that you're
capable of supporting me.

Katrina, you let me
off the hook for a reason.

If you won't give me
a second chance,

why didn't you just turn me
in to Faye in the first place?

I'm filing a motion
to dismiss tomorrow.

I want to be armed to
the teeth with case law.

Consider it done.

Hey, what's going on?

Copies of that divorce
settlement came through.

And? His story looks legit.

She cleaned him out.

Harvey, you know, I gotta
tell ya, I don't trust this guy.

I mean, maybe she did clean
him out, but think about it.

Does doing something for
money really sound like Faye?

No, it doesn't,
but he crossed a line,

he didn't get disbarred,
and she got paid.

So how else do you explain it?

Wait a second.

Maybe the Faye we know needed
a little help getting there.

Meaning?

It's easy to not care about
money after you already have it.

Are you saying she took his money
so she could become a special master?

Look at the timeline.

Right after the incident,
she leaves corporate law,

takes a huge pay out to
start working for the bar

and all of sudden it doesn't matter
because she's got a pile of money.

Then the question is,
how do we prove it?

Because this clown's word
isn't enough.

Well, I'm not sure if it'll prove
it, but I know where to start.

If you're picturing
Faye's face on that bag,

you're not the only one.

What are you doing here, Alex?

I'm here because knowing you,

you're not just working
on your left cross.

And I'm here to help.

You're right, I'm not
just hitting the bag.

But what I need to do, you're
not gonna want any part of.

Try me.

I have to deliver
Gavin Andrews to the FBI.

What?

They know he's corrupt,
they just can't prove it.

Well, now I know I
was right to come here

because you're out of
your fucking mind.

Alex... have you forgotten

the list of shit he has on you?

You do this,
he'll figure it out,

and you won'tjust be fired,
you'll end up in prison.

Well, that's a risk
I'm willing to take.

Samantha, it's just
a job. It's not worth it.

It's worth it to me.

Because I can't wake up
feeling this way every day.

I didn't have a family, Alex.

And I'd get placed somewhere, and
just when I was finally feeling safe,

the bottom would drop out
and they'd send me away.

I didn't have a say in anything.

And I promised myself I would
never be that powerless again.

Okay, we'll go after him.

But we have to make sure
he doesn't know it's you,

which is gonna be tough
because he doesn't trust you.

Well, he'll have to trust me
if he thinks there's someone

he can trust even less.

Which there is.

What are you talking
about? His niece.

The one I gave you.

I did tell her Gavin used her
name in that tax evasion racket.

Which means she owes us one.

And Gavin won't be thinking
about the gun he's got to your head

if he's got one to his.

Exactly.

Inthatcase, I'll say good night.

There's a phone call
I need to make.

Gretchen, we have a
situation and we need your help.

You two coming to see me
at the same time.

Whatever it is, must be serious.

It is.

Louis and I have
reason to believe

that Faye manipulated
the ethics board

for personal gain 15 years ago.

We can use it to get rid
of her, but we'll need proof.

And we're here to ask you to
reach out to anyone you know

at your old firm, give
you anything you can.

But, Gretchen, if Faye
finds out, she could fire you.

Okay, I'll do it
on one condition.

Name it.

Harvey throws you a baby shower.

What? That's a great idea.

No, it's not.

First of all, you're not
the one who's pregnant.

Second of all, men
don't throw baby showers.

Times have changed, Harvey,

and it just so happens I have
thoughts on a color scheme.

Harvey: Color scheme?

Would you like me
to be Sheila's midwife, too?

Now that you mention it, we
could really use a friendly...

All right, this is bullshit.

We came to you with
a serious request.

You turned it into a joke,
so you know what...

You think I'm joking here?

I know how
goddamn serious this is.

Louis said himself,
Faye catches wind of this,

I'm out on my ass.

And baby showers
aren't bullshit.

It's what people who love
each other do for each other.

Gretchen, he doesn't need...

Yes, he does.

You see how much
itwould mean to him.

Why can't you just do it?

I'll throw you
a baby shower, Louis.

I'll get you what you need.

Thank you.

Katrina, you were supposed
to be here 15 minutes ago.

They're in the judge's chambers.

I know. I got caught up.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine, Susan.
Let's just get in there.

Brian: Your honor, curt
lassiter founded a company.

He was happy.

There was no reason for
him to leave, except one.

His partners forced his hand.

That's ridiculous, your honor.

Mr. Lassiter forfeited any
future claims to curt's coffee.

He signed the agreement.

Except that agreement is
invalid because curt was told

if he didn't sign,
his shares would be diluted.

So he did what anyone
under duress would do.

He took what he could get.

And you have proof of that?

Those threats weren't put on paper,
which is why I need to compel testimony.

So you can make a mockery of
the facts and paint curt as a victim?

He is a victim, Katrina.

This wasn't what he wanted.

Your honor, case law
on this matter is clear.

There has to be evidence
of duress to move fonivard.

Do you have any precedent
forthat, Ms. Bennett?

Ms. Bennett?

Do you have a rebuttal?

Yes, your honor.

Klein v. Bartis shows there needs to
be evidence of duress to move forward.

And we need subpoena power
to get that evidence.

Ms. Bennett, do you have
anything to say?

As you're having
your associate speak for you,

it seems like you're not
taking this matter seriously.

I take it seriously,
your honor, I...

Your honor, I'd like to
ask for a continuance.

Klein v. Bart/s is
a complicated ruling

and I'll need time to rebut.

That is kind of you to say,
Mr. Altman,

but I'm not hearing anything from
them to make me dismiss this case.

And I would suggest the next time
you come before me, Ms. Bennett,

that you come prepared.

What are you doing here, Donna?

'Cause ifyou're looking to
reenact top gun, I'm all for it.

This is serious, Harvey.

I wanna talk about our plan.

What about it?

Louis told me that
you went to see Faye's ex.

And I know that you
don't want to hear this,

but I think that's
a bad road to go down.

Well, then, he didn't
tell you the full story

becauseits leading somewhere.

That's not what I meant.

Faye called me the other night.

She knows we're coming at her.

So what?

So you're digging into her
personal life. She's gonna find out.

I don't give a shit
if she finds out about it.

She made it personal
when she fired Samantha.

Harvey, you're not hearing me.

She finds out about this,
she's gonna go ballistic.

Damn it, Donna,
whose side are you on?

Faye's or Samantha's?

I'm on the side of
all of us, Harvey.

Because we may need to get
Faye out, but if this thing goes too far,

we may not have a firm
for Samantha to come back to.

Gavin, what can I do for you?

We've got a problem,
and her name is Darlene.

What's the problem?

The problem is, she's
developed some expensive tastes.

And thanks to you,

she's figured out she's got a rich uncle
that she's decided to use as an atm.

You're saying she's
blackmailing you.

Yes, Alex, I am.

And I need you
to make her go away.

What exactly are you
asking me to do here, Gavin?

Because if it's illegal,
I'm not doing it.

Don't give me that
boy scout shit.

You're the reason
she knows about

my tax management strategy
in the first place.

You mean your money
laundering scheme

that you were using her and me
to help you get away with.

Alex... Gavin, I told you once,

I'll tell you again,
I don't do shit like this.

But you're in luck

because Samantha Wheeler
doesn't work here anymore.

And if you want to go to her,

not as your lawyer,
but as a private citizen,

then I strongly
advise against it.

She won't do this for me.
She can't stand me.

No, she can't.

But she just lost herjob, so,
as long as the price is right,

ibetshewido
whatever needs doing.

Katrina, if this is about court
tomorrow, Susan already contacted me.

It's not about that, Brian.

I'm calling to tell you you
didn't need to do that today.

Yes, I did. You weren't
providing effective counsel.

And when iwin this thing, I don't
want it appealed. Come on, Brian.

You did that because you saw
that I was having a migraine.

Okay, I did.

But as long as
we're being honest,

you were having that migraine
because of me.

I know you're conflicted
about going against me on this

and the reason I know that
is because I'm conflicted, too.

That doesn't mean
you have to prop me up.

Maybe not, but you could've
had me thrown off this case

and you didn't.

The least I could do
was return the favor.

Okay, but I don't want you
thinking that I need charity

or that I can't handle you.

I don't think that.

Then thank you.

And you're right,
I am conflicted,

because I've never been
involved in a case with you

where I wasn't rooting for you.

Well, there's no rule that says just
because you're going against me

you can't still root for me.

Actually, Brian, there is a rule
and that's exactly what it says.

Good night, Katrina.

See you in court, Brian.

Thirty pounds overweight and
this is what you do for dinner?

Faye, I didn't know you cared.

The only thing I care about is
that you keep making bad decisions.

Such as?

Such as talking
to Harvey specter

or whoever else came to you.

I didn't talk to anybody.

Bullshit, George.

Bernice called me,

said someone was looking into
my communications from back then,

and it took about five seconds
for me to figure out

who pointed them
in that direction.

Goddamn bernice.

Let's skip the part
where you blame someone else

and get to the part where
you tell me what you told them.

Nothing that wasn't true.

I seriously doubt that.

Well, come to think of it, I
may have left out a few details,

but those two didn't seem to be
particularly interested in nuance.

So I drew them a map and I
showed them exactly where to go.

The ethics board.

That's right.

You're a grade a son of a bitch.

And you're a grade a hypocrite.

Walking around like
you never crossed a line.

Well, you did.

And when this is over, you're
gonna be out on your ass

and I'll have done to you
exactly what you did to me.

Susan, good. What have you got?

I think I know how we can go
after curt lassiter tomorrow.

He says he never
wanted to leave his firm,

but that's what he's saying now.

We need to know what
he was saying then.

You want to get access
to his personal email account.

Mmm-hmm. All we
need is one email

where he says he's happy with
his payout and we've got him.

It's a good idea,
Susan, but itwon't work.

There's no way Brian would
ever allow personal emails

to be part of this case.

He will if you force him to.

And how on earth
would I do that?

By using your history
with Brian to show

there's no difference between
the personal and the professional.

Susan, you're suggesting exposing
intimate details of Brian's life

when we don't even know
if we'll find anything.

Butwe might.

And the jury is always
going to sympathize

with a founder who got
booted from his own company.

Is this because you still
have feelings for Brian?

It's because I was having a migraine
today and he tried to let me off the hook.

Something was going on,
that much was obvious.

But, Katrina, just
because you're his soft spot

doesn't mean he has to be yours.

Okay, you got me here.

This better be good.

My niece is coming after me.

So what?

Why aren't you calling Alex
Williams with this instead of me?

'Cause you've always been
willing to do things he won't.

What specifically is
she coming after you for?

She wants $10 million,
or she's threatening

to come fonnard
with everything she has

on my money
laundering operations.

And exactly how much
does she know?

Enough to put me away
for a long time.

Okay, give the money to me
and I'll give it to her.

No one ever has to know, but
I'll record her accepting a bribe.

And if she ever comes
calling again, we have her.

So I'm supposed to just
give her the money?

Short of killing her, I don't
see any other way out of this.

And, Gavin, I'm not doing that.

And how do I know you're not just
gonna keep the money for yourself?

Because you're gonna pay me
$5 million for doing this damn thing.

You want half of what I'm
giving herjust to record someone?

It's not just recording
someone, asshole.

It's taking part
in covering up a crime.

And, Gavin, if you don't get
someone to do this for you,

$10 million is a drop
in the bucket.

She'll take you for
another 50 and you know it.

There's my girl.

I gotta say, you're a
lot more fun to work with

than Saint Alex of midtown.

I've missed this.

Well, I haven't.

Get me the money,
andl1lgetyou your tape.

Ms. Bennett, I see you're
here with another motion.

I hope it's more cogent
than your last one.

It is, your honor.

I would like to expand discovery

to include curt lassiter's personal
emails during the period in question.

Your honor, that's
an invasion of privacy

and not at all
pertinent to the case.

Isn't it?

Mr. Altman's own argument
is that curt was forced out

through unofficial
conversations.

That's no reason to dig
into my client's private life.

What precedent are
you citing, Ms. Bennett?

My precedent
isntlegal your honor.

It's how life is.

When you work with
people for a long time,

relationships become personal
and lines get blurred.

Objection, your honor.
That's speculation.

No, Brian. It isn't.

You used to be
my associate, correct?

I did.

And isn't it true we had
personal conversations

inside the office and work
conversations outside?

That's true, but I don't
see how... but nothing.

At some point, you stopped
thinking of me as your superior,

and we became more
than coworkers, didn't we?

Yes, we did.

Then I have every right
to your client's emails.

But what if they reveal things
having nothing to do with this case

that he doesn't want
in the world?

Do you think I'm the kind of lawyer
who would smear a man's character?

I think you have more integrity
than any lawyer I've ever met.

Judge: That doesn't sound like
much of an objection, Mr. Altman.

You'll hand over those
emails immediately.

Harvey, can I have
a word with you?

Sorry, Faye. My days
of talking to you are over.

I know you went to see George.

So what?

So I wanna know
what he told you.

The truth.

That you leveraged him
to get money

after you found out
he was committing a crime.

Well, I hate to tell you
this, but that's not the truth.

You gonna say you didn't keep
him from being investigated by the bar

and then he didn't
miraculously agree

to give you all his money
in the divorce settlement?

That's the thing
George is good at.

Twisting details to sound true.

I did keep them from
investigating him

and I made him give me
the money.

But what he left out was,

I stayed there three more
years and didn't take a salary

so I could make
his clients whole.

Bullshit. Why would you
do that if you hated the man?

Because I have a daughter.

And I didn't want her to grow up
knowing that her father was a criminal.

There it is.

There's the truth.

So you can expose me,
but you'll be shattering

my daughter's conception
of her father.

Well, here's what
we're gonna do.

You're gonna hire Samantha back.

Then you're gonna resign.

And we're gonna call it even.

I can't do that.

I'm sorry, what did you say?

I can't horse trade
my way out of this.

I don't believe this.

You let this piece of shit off
scot-free, but you won't bring her back

for something you
don't even have proof of?

I have all the
goddamn proofl need.

Because just three days ago,
you were in that office

yelling at her for this
and I saw you.

Well, you might as well
start packing yourshh, Faye,

because as soon as I find proof
of what you did, you're gone.

I crossed one line in my career.

I hated doing it, but I did it.

For my child.

Samantha did what
she did to win a case.

That's not the same thing.

Katrina, I found something.

What is it?

An email chain from
lassiter to his best friend

bragging about the yacht
he was about to buy

with the proceeds
from his awesome deal.

Susan, this is great.

We can use it to force
a settlement.

Settlement? We don't
need to settle.

This is proof they're lying.

And didn't you say Brian refused
to even consider a settlement?

Yes, but now we have leverage.

This isn't leverage, this
is an outright dismissal.

You don't know that.

And any time you move
fonnard with litigation,

anything can happen.

I know what is happening.

You're trying to
give him a way out.

And don't tell me I'm wrong.

All right, you're not wrong.

Brian needs this not to be
a total annihilation.

I thought you said
you don't care about him.

I don't, not in that way.

Then what way?

Because you're putting his interests
over our client's, and that's not right.

Don't you talk to me
about what is right.

I have been doing what is right.

I cut Brian out of my life,
but he's still a friend

and I don't want
to do this to him.

Katrina, I hear you.

But if this case was
against any other lawyer,

we'd be out
celebrating right now.

But it's your call.

Good, you're here.

What is it, Louis?

Gretchen came through.

Two emails from Faye Richardson

to members of the bar
specifically asking to quash

any investigation
into her husband.

It's all there in black
and white, Harvey.

We got her.

All right.

Let's do this. Hold on a second.

What's going on?

Nothing's going on, Louis.

Harvey, I've seen you
win enough times

to know that this is
not what you look like.

What is it?

You were right,
that son of a bitch lied.

She didn't take him to the cleaners
just so she could have the money.

She did it to cover up his crime,
so her daughter would never know.

But that means
if this comes out,

it'll destroy that girl's
vision of her father.

Not to mention her mother
who's kept it from her.

She's a grown woman.
She can handle it.

Handle what? You painting
her as a liar and a cheat?

I'm not painting her as
anything. She did this.

And we said we'd get
Samantha back, whatever it takes.

So this is what it's gonna take.

What if there was another way?

What other way?

Alex and Samantha
are working on something.

What if whatever
they find gets her out

without doing something
like this to a family?

One day. They have one day.

Then I'm pulling the trigger
whether you like it or not.

Since when did you start
working bankers' hours?

Robert. What are you doing here?

I'm here to see you.

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

Joy has a piano recital and...

Bullshit, she does.

You're getting in that car
to meet Samantha.

All right, you got me.

She cut a deal with the
FBI, and I'm helping her.

Helping her how?

We're giving them Gavin Andrews
in exchange for dirt on Faye.

Gavin Andrews? Are you
out of your damn mind?

He's got information on her,
and if he finds out...

It doesn't matter.

The way we're doing it,
Gavin will never know...

Says every inmate
sitting in prison

that thought they
committed the perfect crime.

Robefl_. Alex, listen to me.

I know you're trying
to do right by her,

but even if Gavin doesn't
figure out what she's up to,

she has a history with the FBI.

What kind of history?

The kind that could come
back and bite her in the ass.

I appreciate that, Robert, but
the train has left the station.

Then do me one favor.

Let me get in that car
instead of you.

Robert, what are you doing here?

I'm here to help you.

Both. Help me or stop me?

Because if you do
what you're about to,

the FBI is going to
have something overyou

for the rest of your life.

I'm not giving up the plan.

I'm not asking you to.

I'm asking you to be quiet and
let me be a lawyer one last time.

What's going on here?

We were supposed to meet alone.

Well, my client and I
had other ideas.

She's not gonna give you
anything until you sign this.

Blanket immunity for
anything you've everdone.

I don't think so.

Not anything she's ever done.

Anything she's ever done
for the man she's giving you.

I don't have authority
to sign this.

Bullshit, you don't.

This is a onetime offer
good for 30 seconds.

Take it or leave it.

Robefl. Samantha, pnihandhngths.

Jesus, you are Robert Zane.

You're not even a lawyer.

I don't have to be a goddamn
lawyer for this to be legally binding.

So sign it or not,

because you're not getting
what she has without it.

Look at that, you came through.

I did.

Now you're giving me
everything you got on Faye.

Not a goddamn thing.

Turns out I couldn't find
anything on the woman.

Just like you couldn't
find anything way back when.

We had a deal. What deal?

You might have immunity on
paper, but that's all you have on paper.

Don't ever call me again.

You son of a bitch.

Whatever it is
you're thinking about doing,

it isn't gonna happen.

Because I'm not getting out of this
booth until we talk this thing through.

Katrina, what are
you doing here?

We found his emails.

Curt lied about
being forced out.

I'm here to end this.

And I wanted to do it in person.

What about settling?

It's too late for that.

Unless you drop this by tomorrow,
we're going to countersue for slander.

I'm sorry, Brian.

You can't blame him for trying.

What do you mean?

Curt wasn't entirely lying.

He may not have been forced
out, but he regretted leaving.

Are you talking
about him or you?

Can it be both?

Your partners didn't assign
you this case, did they?

Idm. You took it.

I knew they were going after
you and then you called and...

And what? I missed you.

So I took the case...

Because I wanted
to spend time with you.

I can't believe you.

That's why you wouldn't settle?
To spend more time with me?

Katrina... no.

What did you think would happen
when we spent that time together?

I thought we would
see each other and talk

and be in each other's
lives like we used to.

And then? I don't know.

Well, what I know is that

I wanted to keep working
together as friends.

You couldn't do it. You left.

God damn it, there's nothing
wrong with missing someone, Katrina.

There is for me.
Because I have to move on.

And so do you.

So that's it?

We just never
see each other again?

You have our terms.

You can pursue
this case or don't,

but if you don't drop
this case by tomorrow,

Brian, I will have you removed.

Donna: Can I talk to you
for a second?

I just got off the phone
with Samantha.

Their plan didn't work.

That settles it, then.

That's what I'm here
to talk about, Harvey.

I don't think it does.

I don't believe this. So
you're taking Louis's side?

Yes, I am.

And quite frankly, I don't
understand why you're not.

Well, let's see.

We all wanted her gone,
this is a one-way ticket out

and what the fuck else
is there to talk about?

Harvey. What is
it with all of you?

Don't you get it? She is
never gonna stop coming.

Zane's name, Louis's
title, Samantha's job...

This isn't about her.

I don't want to be a part of
doing this to someone's family.

What about what
she did to our family?

She didn't kill anyone, Harvey.

She was just doing herjob.

And I'm the reason
she fucking did it.

Faye saw me yelling
at Samantha, Donna.

That's how she knew.

Oh, my god.

We could've had
this fight anywhere.

The roof, the street,
the file room...

None of this would've happened.

But instead, I chose to have it

right in the middle of the
office, where anyone could see it.

I get it now.

Harvey, if there is one thing
that I love about you,

it's your sense of loyalty. But
when you add guilt on top of that...

What are you saying?

Imagine you could
go back in time

and not know about your
mother what you knew.

Wouldn't you do that
for yourself?

It was my fault, Donna.
I know that.

But doing this...

It's not the man
I want you to be.

And I know it's not
the man you want to be.

What's that?

Just came in.

They're dropping the case.

Why are you giving this to me?

Susan, what I did for Louis
when I was his associate

and Brian did for me was about
more than just legal brilliance.

It was also about
having the person's back.

And just as important, telling
them when they're wrong.

Are you thanking me for
telling you you were wrong?

I'm explaining why
I'm giving this to you.

Because I like my associates
to keep a record of their wins.

Are you saying
you're making me your...

Yes, Susan, I am.

Unless you keep asking
questions, in which case, you're not.

I won't let you down.

I know you won't.

Now go home.

Not having a life

is what got me into trouble
with Brian in the first place.

Faye.

What can I do for you?

It's been enough time that if
Harvey were going to go to the bar,

he would've already.

And it doesn't take Einstein to
figure out who convinced him not to.

You asked me to keep
the firm together.

That's what I did.

How'd you do it?

How'd you get him to back off?

I thought what if you were my
mother and you'd done that for me.

The restjust came out.

Thank you, Donna.

Faye, for the record, we didn't
do this for self-preservation.

Because no matter
what you may think of us...

There are some lines
we won't cross.

Okay, what was so important
that I needed to come over

at this time of night?

I wanted to say I'm sorry.

Because we both know
you'd still be at the firm

if it wasn't for me
yelling at you like an idiot.

It's okay, Harvey.

I'm the one who
crossed the line.

It's not just that, Samantha.

We found a way to get Faye out.

I didn't take it.

And I wanted you
to hear that from me.

Donna already told me, Harvey.

And for what it's worth, I
think you did the right thing.

You're the last person I
would expect to hear that from.

Well, if you'd asked me an
hour ago, you wouldn't have.

But she watched out for her child
and I wish I had a parent like that.

Samantha, what's going on?

A few weeks ago,
I hired an investigator

and I just found out
where my biological father is.

Pittsburgh.

Yeah. Pittsburgh.

And I was gonna go tomorrow
but Robert's going to visit Rachel

and they can't cancel.

Samantha, what is it?

I don't wanna go alone.

Well, if I'm not too
deep in yourdoghouse,

I certainly could use
a break from Faye.

You'd really go with me?

I would.

Well, in that case, you are
not too deep in my doghouse.

Okay, then.

I'll pick you up in the morning.

Okay.

Thank you, Harvey.
