Previously on "Suits"...

I know why Brian really left.

Unless you want Faye Richardson

to suddenly be made aware
of the situation,

you'll make me your associate
by the end of the week.

I know where Gretchen is, Louis.

She's working for me
on a temporary basis.

I'm sorry. Say that again,

because my ears are
a little clogged with rage.

If you just calm down,
I assure you,

once I get up and running,
you can have her back.

Susan made a mistake
and owned up to what she did.

- Is this true?
- It is.

I made a terrible mistake.

It was a guard
who was getting suspicious

of what was going on in there.

They wanted me to put him down.
And then what happened?

I killed him.

They tied all my bonuses
to all the key dates.

So you covered up a murder?

I had a wife and daughter.
What was I supposed to do?

I let this shit go.

You're gonna sign something

saying I had nothing
to do with this.

Inflating my assets
to get a loan isn't shady.

Everybody does it.
If you involve Donna

in this deal, I will pull
every string I have

to tie your project up in court
for the next 20 years.

Okay, see you soon.

Love you too.

Is that for me?

Why, yes, it is.

A handsome coffee
for my handsome man.

What do you want?

Why do I have to want something

to give you a compliment?

You don't, but you do.

You know you're not
the only one who can do that.

You heard me on the phone
with my father, didn't you?

Okay, you're the only one
who can do that.

But if you're gonna ask me
to come to breakfast,

I don't think it's a great idea.

But I wanna tell him about us,

and I thought
we could do it together.

I get that, Donna,
but in case you forgot,

the first time I met the man,

I told him if he took your money

I'd shut down his deal.

Harvey, that was
a long time ago.

And it was not so long ago
that he accused me

of putting you at risk
over Mike.

Okay, maybe it is best
if I tell him myself.

But you're the two
most important men in my life,

and if I tell him
that I choose you,

he's not gonna hold a grudge.

He's gonna be happy for us.

In other words,

next time, it's the three of us.

You bet your ass it is.

And he's in town for a week,
so put your big boy pants on

and find us a restaurant,
or my father won't be

the only Paulsen
you have to worry about.

Katrina, can I have a moment?

Of course,

but if you're here about
the Rose merger, you should...

I'm here about something else.

The other day, you brought
Susan into my office,

and I want to know why.

Because I thought

she deserved credit
for owning up to her mistake.

And this isn't my first rodeo.

So why don't you tell me
what really happened?

If it's not your first rodeo,
then you know what happened.

She tried to pull something,

and I brought her to you
to show her it wouldn't work.

And what you should have done
is report her to me.

Why? So you could fire her?

I can't know
what I would have done

if you don't tell me
what she did.

Well, that's not going
to happen, Faye,

because I believe
she deserved a second chance

and that I handled
the situation properly.

Good.

What do you mean, "good"?

You saw a problem,

and even though
you took care of it

differently than I would have,
you didn't let it slide,

which makes you
the perfect woman for the job.

This is a code of conduct.

Which I want you to adapt
for the firm.

I get it.

The partners won't buy in

if it doesn't come
from one of their own.

No, they won't.

Okay, I'll do it...
On one condition.

I write the code as I see fit.

You accept it wholesale
or not at all.

Another indication
I made the right choice.

Tommy, what are you
doing here so early?

Did something happen
with the Cooper deposition?

Actually, Alex,
I'm here because I know

how hard you've been working.

And I think it's time
that you got a reward.

You're giving me
Masterson Construction?

I am.

But I thought you were
gonna give it to Craig.

The thing is
Craig's not married.

What does that have
to do with it?

A man with a wife
and children truly understands

what it's like to be
a member of a family.

So I get to jump him in line

because I was fortunate enough
to fall in love?

That's how it works
in corporate America, Alex.

Maybe it is, but I still
don't want to do this to Craig.

Well, if it'll
make you feel better,

whether you take
Masterson or not,

Craig is not going to get them.

- Tommy...
- Tell you what.

Just think about it.

If you feel the same way
tomorrow, I'll...

I'll get someone else.

Not bad...

If you're into
million-dollar views, that is.

It's not much, but it's home.

Good to see you, Craig.
You too, Alex.

Look, this isn't easy for me,
so I'm just gonna say it.

I need a favor.

Anything. Just name it.

Your lawsuit against Panasonic.

Do you know it?

I've heard a few things,

but they're not my client.

Why?

Because they're my client.

There's an offer on the table,

and I need your firm to take it.

And if what I heard
about that offer is true,

that's not a favor;
That's tanking a case.

Are you really gonna
make me say it?

You took my place in line,
and I never recovered.

You owe me.

And whether you believe it
or not, I don't owe you.

Here's what I have
to say about that.

What is that?

That is Masterson Construction.

I know all about it, Alex.

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

You know exactly
what I'm talking about.

Tommy Bratton may have
chained me to a desk

for ten years,

but he left me
with a parting gift.

I know you covered up
a conspiracy.

And if you know all that,
you know I was framed.

That doesn't mean
that this can't hurt you,

especially in light
of your firm's recent troubles.

I need this to close
by the end of the week.

So get it done,
or that gets out.

And then you can explain
to everyone you know

what kind of man you really are.

All right, you sons of bitches.

- Excuse me?
- Excuse yourself, asshole,

'cause you just had the B team.

Now you get the A team.
You're gonna sue us?

You don't sue us. We sue you.

I'm gonna have your balls
in a vise so tight,

you're gonna wish
you were born without balls.

That's right, lady,
I'm talking to you.

I'm gonna shove this lawsuit
so far up your ass

you're gonna be
the first lawyer in history

to die with a lawsuit
in her ass.

I'm gonna burn you
to the ground.

I'm gonna do a rain dance
on your ashes.

Nobody messes with Louis Litt,
least of all two slobs

from the firm Shitty & Shithead.

We're not lawyers.

- What happened?
- We're Susan's parents.

She said we could visit.

She said the people here
were so nice.

Well, of course
you're Susan's parents.

You look exactly like her.
Job well done.

She's very attractive.

Not in a cause-of-action
type of way.

I'm just giving you
a mock example

of how not to behave

when Susan's parents
are in the conference room.

Holy shit. Carry on.

Hey, if anybody asks,

my name really isn't Louis Litt.

It's Alex Williams.

Gretchen, I need you back.

Good morning to you too, Louis.

I don't have time
for good mornings.

I just went to Conference Room C

and ripped them a new asshole.

Conference Room C?

Louis, those are
Susan's parents.

I didn't know
they were Susan's parents.

I was supposed to be
in Conference Room A, not C.

Those letters have nothing
to do with each other.

Then why'd you go
to the wrong room?

Because Norma's granddaughter
is temping on my desk.

You know what her name is?
Norma III.

Who does that?

On top of which, she has all
of her grandmother's body odor

and none of her competence.

I'd be better off with the urn.
Louis.

Gretchen, I cannot take it.

I need to know how long
Faye's gonna keep you.

Louis, there's only one way
I can think

to get an answer on that,

but that's gonna require
huge amounts of time

and effort on your part.

What is it?

Go to her goddamn office
and ask her.

Well, in that case,
I need some time to regather.

- Hi, Dad.
- Good to see you, sweetheart.

You too.

Thank you for making time
for breakfast.

Of course.

Actually, your timing is perfect

because I have some news,

and it is so much better
in person.

This is exciting.
Don't keep me in suspense.

Harvey and I
have started seeing each other.

Congratulations, Donna.

That's great news.

All right, let's get it out.

Let's hear your misgivings.
Who says I have misgivings?

Your face, your body language,

the way you said
"congratulations"

as if I had
just put my dog down.

All right.

Donna, from everything
you've told me over the years,

the man can be selfish.

Dad, if this has to do
with Mike Ross,

Harvey would throw himself
in front of a train for me.

And I don't doubt that.

I just think you deserve
to be with somebody

who can put your needs
above his own

not only when it comes
to matters of life and death.

You know, I told Harvey
that when you heard the news,

you'd be happy for me...

That he just didn't know you.

Sweetheart, you're one
of the smartest women I know.

I trust your judgment.

If you're happy,
I'm happy for you.

Well, it doesn't feel that way.

Then I'm sorry.

Can we start
this breakfast over?

Sure, Dad.

Sure.

What the...?

You're taking Masterson?

Craig, before you say anything,

I tried to say no.

And that's the kind of thing
that someone says

when they didn't try at all.

I thought we were friends.
We are.

And I'm telling you, he wasn't
gonna give them to you anyway.

- Why not?
- According to Bratton,

it's because
I have a wife and kids.

That is bullshit.

And I'm not the one
who said it; He is.

But put yourself in my shoes.
What would you do?

I would have gone to you
and told you

before you heard it
through the grapevine.

Craig, I was working
on something.

Well, you're too late,
because now I gotta go

figure out some other way
to make my bonus this year.

Listen to me.

What I was working on
was getting the go-ahead

to split Mayfield Foods
with you.

We can share them.

Mayfield Foods is a tenth
the size of Masterson.

So keep your bullshit gestures
to yourself, okay?

Because I don't need
any phony friends

looking out for me.

Samantha, do you have a minute?

Depends. How important is it?

Important.
Craig Cameron came to see me.

He's an old friend,
and he needs a favor.

Well, that favor better have
nothing to do with Panasonic.

Look, I know there's a deal
on the table, Samantha,

and I need you to take it.

This guy isn't your friend.

He's got something on you,
doesn't he?

- I didn't say that.
- You didn't have to.

And you didn't come in here
to get me to take the deal.

You came here to get me
to bury your secret.

I came here because I thought

this goddamn thing
had gone away.

This is the prison thing
with Bratton, isn't it?

- You know.
- Alex, I was Robert's fixer.

Of course I know.

Then take the deal
that's on the table.

- I can't.
- Why not?

Because it's a shitty deal
and everyone knows it,

including Faye,
which means if I take it,

sooner or later,
she's gonna figure out why.

God damn it, Samantha,
I covered up a crime.

- Because you were framed.
- It doesn't matter.

Why not?

Because I let them
get away with it.

I may have been framed,

but I let them
get away with murder.

Samantha, I have two daughters.

I don't want them
going through life

knowing that about their father.

What about Rosalie?
What does she think?

She doesn't know, does she?

No.

Then you are gonna
go home tonight

and tell your wife
the whole story.

What are you doing
in my office, Faye?

I'm here because
it's come to my attention

that you and Harvey Specter
are in a relationship.

And how exactly did that come
to your attention?

The question is, what are we
going to do about it?

Are you asking if we're
planning on getting married?

'Cause I'm sorry to tell you
you're not on the guest list.

And our relationship
is none of your business.

Donna, when two of the five
members of management

have undue influence
over each other,

something needs to be done.

What exactly are you trying
to tell me, Faye?

That you have
to give up your vote.

- Excuse me?
- It's a clear conflict.

No law firm
would allow this to stand.

Okay, let's just
put aside the fact

that I think that's bullshit.

Are you saying
that Harvey's vote

is more important than mine?

Yes, I am.

He's a senior partner

and a former managing partner.

I see what this is.

You keep trying
to diminish my role here.

Last week, it was trying
to make me a secretary again.

Now you're trying
to make me nothing.

I'm trying to preserve
the interests of this law firm.

And if you want
to take it up with Harvey

and he thinks your value here
is higher than his,

he can certainly give up
his vote instead of you.

But as of right now,
the next time there's a vote,

only one of you
is going to have one.

I've been looking all over
for you.

Actually, I am
in the middle of something,

so if you don't mind...

I got it. You're busy.

I just wanted to know
how your breakfast went.

It wasn't great, Harvey.

He said if I'm happy,
he's happy,

but if the two of you
can't figure out a way

to share a meal together,

then what the hell are we doing?

Whoa, hold a second.
"What are we doing?"

Are you saying
you want to end this?

No, Harvey, I am saying
that I want a relationship

with someone who, at some point,

will get along with my father.

Donna, he said
he was happy for you.

It's not the biggest deal
in the world

if we don't get along.

You mean like the way
you didn't get along

with your mother
for most of your life?

That has nothing
to do with this.

Doesn't it?

Have you even told
your mother about us?

Donna...

Well, I will take that as a no.

I didn't tell her
because I didn't think to.

And you didn't think to

because your mother hasn't been
a regular part of your life.

But my father's been
a regular part of mine,

and I shouldn't have
to give up something

that's important to me

just because I'm in
a relationship with you.

Donna, isis there
something else going on?

Isn't my father enough, Harvey?

He said that
you wouldn't put me first.

Well, putting me first

would mean fixing
your relationship with him.

So...

if you can't figure out a way
to do that,

then maybe he's right.

There she is.
There's my black swan.

Louis, this is the women's room.

- Why do you think I'm in here?
- I don't...

Are you writing
a code of conduct for Faye?

Yes. How did you know that?

Because I found this draft
on her desk

with your name on it.

You went through her things?

No, I went in there to ask

when I could have Gretchen back,

but now I don't have to ask

because you're gonna
get her back for me.

"Personnel reassignments
are the sole purview

of the name partners."

Louis, that isn't
a code of conduct.

That belongs in the bylaws.
Doesn't matter where it goes.

You put it in there,
I get Gretchen back.

Louis, I don't feel good

about sneaking something in
like this.

Katrina, please.

This woman has taken everything
from me.

I need this, and I need you.

Okay, Louis.

I'll see what I can do.

Harvey.

What a pleasant surprise.
Hey, Mom.

Do you remember when I told you
about a very special person

who was responsible
for us reconciling?

I do.

I also remember
putting my foot in my mouth

when I thought
that person was Paula.

Well, her name is Donna.

We've been seeing each other,

and I haven't exactly
told her yet, but...

She's the one.

Harvey, that's fantastic.

I have been rooting for you

and Donna to get together
for years.

What?

How do you even know who she is?

Because you have a brother

who's as big a fan of hers
as I am.

I am so happy for you, Harvey.

Thanks, Mom.

Why do I get the sense
there's something else?

Nothing.

It's just, her father
and I have some history,

and he's not exactly
crazy about me.

I'm not sure
what to do about it.

Harvey, you may rub
some people the wrong way,

but you have a generous heart.

Go to him.
Make some kind of gesture.

I'm sure it'll work out.

- And what if it doesn't?
- Then you have him call me.

I'll tell him
my unbiased opinion

about what an amazing man
my son is.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You look like you had
a rough day.

- I did.
- Then come here.

I wanna show you something.

You're such a big girl.

You got it.

Holy shit.

She did it.

She walked.
She didn't just walk.

She sauntered.
Look at that again.

Alex, what's going on?

A few weeks ago, I visited
one of Masterson's sites

and a guard slipped me a note.

It said an inmate died
when a scaffolding broke

and the prison has been
covering it up.

My God.

I started looking into it.

Then, today, when I tried
to call the guard at home,

his wife said he had been
killed by an inmate.

So are you saying
they're connected?

'Cause it's one thing
to hide an accidental death,

but it's a whole other thing

to orchestrate
the murder of a guard.

I know.

But either way, I'm gonna
get to the bottom of it.

You are a good man,
Alex Williams.

But, hey, email that video,
will you?

Already did.

Hey, you hungry?

I ate at the office.

Wanted to make sure the girls
were asleep before I got home.

Well, I don't like
the sound of that.

What's going on?

Do you remember when
I was at Bratton Gould

and I found out
that guard had been killed?

Yeah, of course.

Well, I didn't tell you
the whole story.

They were extending
prisoner sentences for profit,

and...

they killed that guard
to cover it up.

What? Wait, but you told me...

I know what I told you, Rosalie.

I lied...

because when I went
to Tommy Bratton,

I found out he was in on it,

and he made it look
like I was in on it too.

Why are you telling me this now?

Because a former colleague
of mine found out,

and if Samantha doesn't
tank a case against him,

he's going to expose me.

So let me get this straight:

You left me out of this
back then,

and you only telling me now
because you got caught?

I left you out to protect you.

No, you left me out
because you knew

I would have told you
to come forward.

They framed me, Rosalie.

If I came forward,
I was going to prison too.

And for what?

It wasn't gonna bring
those two people back.

You said they were
extending sentences.

People of color.

It's what we talked about
back in law school,

and you just let them
keep right on doing it?

You think it didn't kill me
to do that?

I wouldn't know
what it did to you

because you didn't bother
to tell me.

- Rosalie...
- Look, sorry, Alex,

but forgive me
if I need a minute to process

that not only were you involved
in something like this,

but you didn't trust me enough
to tell me about it.

- Faye, do you have a minute?
- Of course.

Did you think about
our conversation yesterday?

As a matter of fact, I did,

and I decided
to take you at your word.

How's that?

That you're serving
the interests of the firm.

So I'm here to explain
how Harvey and I

both having a vote
serves the firm.

Donna...

We don't just influence
each other,

we balance each other.

We make each other consider
opposing points of view,

and then, in the end,
we do what we think

will make the firm stronger,

whether we're
in agreement or not.

And I don't doubt that's true,

but your individual
circumstances don't matter.

Okay, let's just get to it.

Is this because of you
and your ex-husband?

Excuse me?

You act like this isn't
personal, but I think it is.

You don't know anything
about my ex-husband.

I know that you had
a conflict at work

and he ended up getting fired.

But Harvey and I aren't you,

and I don't appreciate you
making us into you.

And this isn't a negotiation.

This is a conflict of interest,
and I will not be cajoled,

threatened, or coerced
into thinking it's not.

As I said, who gives up
their vote is your call,

but make a decision by tomorrow

or I'll make one for you.

Next thing you know,
she won the whole thing.

Wow.

I didn't know she skied,
much less competitively.

Well, once she got serious
about theater,

she gave it up
and never looked back.

James, I appreciate
you seeing me,

and I love these stories,
but I also know

that you have concerns
about me...

and I wanted you to know
that I've taken some steps

to alleviate them.

I appreciate that, Harvey,
and I have to say,

inviting me to talk
man-to-man is a great start.

Well, if you like that,
then you're gonna love this.

I know you're in town for a deal

and you haven't gotten
any bites yet.

Well, that's not just a bite.

It's a meal.

What?

I pulled some strings,
but it's everything you need.

I don't believe this.

You dug into my business
without asking me?

James, I'm just trying to help.

And if I did the same thing
to you, would you think

it was because
I was trying to help

or trying to buy your approval?

I'm not trying to buy anything.

No, you're just giving me
a bunch of money

and asking me to like you.

James, it was a gesture.

And I know what you think of me,

but you're overreacting.

You know what, Harvey?

Instead of focusing
on what I'm doing,

why don't you give some thought
to who you are?

And if that's too much,

at least treat my daughter
better than you treat me.

- Well?
- I'm sorry, Louis.

I can't do it. Why the hell not?

Because I decided
I don't want to violate

the spirit of what I'm trying
to do with this code.

I don't believe this.
Whose goddamn side are you on?

Don't you say that to me.

There's a reason
we got saddled with Faye

in the first place, and we keep
doing shit like this?

We will never be rid of her.

Well, isn't that the pot
calling the kettle black?

Because that's exactly
the type of thing

that you used
to be on board with.

Yes, Louis. "Used to."

Because I've come to terms
with the kind of lawyer

I want to be, and it isn't this.

God damn it, Katrina,
don't you get it?

She took Gretchen.

We don't put a stop to her now

and we won't even have a say

over what kind
of pencils we use.

I don't want her
to have Gretchen

any more than you do, Louis,

but don't you ever
use our friendship

to try to get me to do
something like this again.

Tommy, I need to talk
about Masterson,

and it can't wait.

I'm sorry, Alex.

I'm just heading home,
and I'm in a hurry.

Catch me tomorrow.

I just told you this can't wait.

- What?
- A guard gave that to me.

The next day,
I called Pat Krueger,

and now that guard is dead.

This whole thing
is a conspiracy.

They've been using inmates
and extending sentences,

and we need to stop it.

No, we don't.
We're their lawyers, Alex.

And they're breaking the law.

And do you have proof of that?

I have that letter.

The one that you had for weeks

and you didn't take
to the authorities?

Are you saying I have
something to do with this?

You're the one that got them
to sign off on the waiver

allowing the inmates to do
Masterson's construction.

Which, as I recall,
you got a big, fat bonus for.

- You gave me that bonus.
- It didn't come from me.

It came from Masterson,

as did the one I believe
you just got yesterday,

exactly five days
after that guard died.

I didn't get any bonus
yesterday.

Well, it seems you haven't
checked your account yet.

Trust me, it's there.

I get it.

You didn't give Masterson to me

because I'm more stable
than Craig.

You gave it to me because
I'm more vulnerable than Craig.

I have no idea
what you're talking about,

but you'd better think
very carefully

about coming forward,

because a murder
was committed here

and you do have a family.

So I trust you're gonna
do the right thing, Alex.

Rosalie.

What are you doing here?
You know what I'm doing here.

- Alex told you.
- He did.

I don't like that it took him
eight years to do it,

but now that he has...

You need someone
to talk to about it.

No, I need
to do something about it.

Look, I understand
that you're upset,

but Alex had his reasons.

And if you think I'm here
to figure out what to do

with my husband,
then you don't know me.

Nobody threatens my man
and gets away with it.

Rosalie, what exactly
do you want from me?

I want your help figuring out

how to get something
on this guy.

I respect your point of view,
but there's another way.

- Okay, what way?
- Call his bluff.

He may not follow through,
and even if he does...

Are you kidding me?
Alex could lose everything.

I can't take that kind of risk.

And there's
a different kind of risk

to what you're talking about.

- I don't care.
- You can't do this.

Samantha, he is the father
of my children.

I can't let this happen to him.

All right.

I'll help you find
something on this guy.

Can I get you a cup of coffee,

or are you all coffee'd out?

- Donna...
- I can't believe it.

You went and you stuck
your nose into his deal.

Because I was trying
to make up with him,

like you asked me.

Harvey, don't you get it?

Your history
is you making it clear to him

that you think
he's a bad businessman.

I was just giving him some help.

No, you showed him
that you don't respect him,

that you think
you're better than him.

And as far as I'm concerned,

you think you're better than me.

Donna, what's going on?

Because maybe I messed up,

but you know I don't think
I'm better than you.

Maybe you don't, Harvey,
but Faye does.

What are you talking about?

She said that
since we're together,

one of us has
to give up their vote,

and that one of us is me.

What? Why didn't you tell me?

Because I didn't want
to hear you say

that your vote
is more important than mine.

I wouldn't have said that.

I would have put a stop to it,
which I'm gonna do right now.

- Good, you're both here.
- What is it now, Louis?

We need to do something
about Faye.

She took Gretchen and now she's
turned Katrina against me.

Well, I'm sorry, Louis,

but right now
we have bigger fish to fry,

because Faye said Donna has
to lose her vote

because we're seeing each other.

That's bullshit.
She can't do that.

Which is what I'm about
to tell her.

- No, you're not.
- Well, then,

I'm coming with you.
We'll kill two birds

with one stone.
You're not coming anywhere.

We only have so much leverage.

Donna losing her vote trumps
you getting Gretchen back,

and we have to pick our battles.

And what a surprise; The
battle we're picking is yours.

Well, I'm not having it.

I say we go in there
as a united front

and get it all back at once.

And I say we wouldn't have
to go in there at all

if you hadn't have let her into
our house in the first place.

- Harvey.
- What'd you just say to me?

You heard me.

You let her in here,
and you didn't even put up

an ounce of resistance.

Are you... kidding me?

She's here because Robert Zane
fell on his sword for you.

And let's just go back
a little further.

She also wouldn't be here if
Jessica hadn't been disbarred,

which only happened
because you hired Mike Ross.

So if you want to blame someone
for Faye being here,

look in the goddamn mirror!

Let him go.

And while you're at it,
let this whole Faye thing go.

- Donna...
- Harvey, look at us.

We are at each other's throats
over this woman,

and it's just not worth it.

- I know that, but...
- No "buts."

My vote is important to me,

but this woman
isn't gonna be here forever.

And what's more important
than any of this

is our relationships
with each other.

How'd you know where to find me?

'Cause I know you, Louis.

When we fight
and you bring up Jessica,

you're coming right back
to where it all started.

I didn't mean to say
those things to you, Harvey.

- I'm sorry.
- It's okay, Louis.

I already let it go 'cause
I know why you said them.

You do?

Before you came in,
Donna and I were arguing.

She made me see

that I wasn't treating
her father with respect.

And then I did
the same thing to you,

and that's why you lashed out.

I guess it is.

The thing is, Louis,

we haven't been treating
each other with respect

because Faye hasn't been

treating any of us with respect.

But I think I know
how to stop it.

How?

By doing what you suggested
in the first place.

You're such a big girl.
You got it.

You got it! Yay!

Hi, baby.

Eat without me.
I'm gonna be late again.

This is five nights in a row.

Does it have something
to do with that guard?

No, I'm just busy.

Turns out
it was just a coincidence.

One had nothing
to do with the other.

Well, it's nice to know
that if something was going on,

my man would have
put a stop to it.

Baby, I gotta go.

Joy just dropped the potatoes,
I think.

What can I do for you, Craig?

Look, Alex, II know
I bit your head off,

but I have a favor to ask.

You offered
to share a client with me?

Absolutely, Mayfield Foods.
Let's split it.

I need you to give me half
of Masterson instead.

What?

Masterson has the new
Reform Corp project.

They have a huge amount
of business.

They can handle two lawyers. No.

You said
you'd give me something.

Yeah, Mayfield Foods.

And I told you
they're not big enough.

I need this, or I'm not gonna
make my quarter.

I'll never move up.

And I'm telling you,
you don't want Masterson.

That's bullshit!

I've wanted Masterson
for a year and a half.

Are you really that greedy
that you can't share

a tiny piece
of your success with me?

God damn it, Craig,

I told you,
it's Mayfield or nothing.

I offered it to you once.
I'm offering it to you again.

So take it or... leave it,

but leave me the hell alone!

Why do I get the feeling
you're not here

to sell me Girl Scout cookies?

She came to see you, didn't she?

How do you know?

Because I know my wife,

and she may have been
pissed at me,

but no one protects their own
more than her.

No, I'd say they don't.

Then tell me
what she's gonna do.

Without any more help from me
she's not gonna do anything

because the map I gave her
stops halfway through.

Then I have a request.

Give me the map instead of her.
Alex-

- Samantha, please.
This thing is my mess.

I can't let her put herself
at risk for me.

Good, you're both here.
Saves me a trip.

Harvey, what's going on?

A lot of things,
some of which you know,

some of which you don't.

But I'm gonna tell you
what they are,

and then tomorrow morning
we're gonna put a stop to them.

Can I talk to you a sec?

What is it now, Louis?

You want me to knock over
a liquor store?

I want you to accept my apology.

- I'm listening.
- You were right.

I should never have
used our friendship

to ask you to do something that
you were uncomfortable with,

and I'm sorry.

But?

I still wanna know
if you're willing

to put something
in the code of conduct.

How is that any different
from before?

Because before I was trying
to sneak it by Faye.

But if you're willing to,

this time we're gonna
ram it down her throat.

- You ready?
- I'm ready.

Let's go.

Hey, did you tell
Susan's parents

you were me the other day?

The other day?

No, I was in Cairo
the other day.

- Louis...
- Alex, now's not the time.

Did I miss the memo where
someone called for a meeting?

Donna's not losing her vote.

I assume that means
you're giving up yours.

We're not giving up
another goddamn thing.

It's not giving something up.
It's avoiding a conflict.

Harvey and I came up
in the bullpen together.

Does that mean
we have a conflict?

And I taught Louis how
to fight after he got mugged.

What about us?

And Samantha had dinner
at my home the other night,

and that's not gonna stop.

While we're at it,
I'm asking Donna

to be my child's godmother,

because that's who we are
at this firm, Faye.

Friendship is different
from a romantic entanglement,

and you all know it.

We also all trust each other.

Which is why we all waived
your so-called conflict,

so there isn't
a problem anymore.

Says who?

Says this clause
that we just added

to your shiny new
code of conduct.

I have done nothing
but try to help this firm,

and you people
have resisted me from day one.

Because since day one
you've done nothing

but dictate to us and treat us
with open disrespect.

Well, that stops right now.

And if you don't like it,
we'll all resign,

and you'll have to explain
to the Bar

why every name partner left
because you wouldn't accept

their legal right
to waive conflict.

So you can either kiss our ass

or kiss our asses good-bye,

but we're not
hanging Donna out to dry.

On? I told you to call me Faye.

I know you did.

Did you tell Donna Paulsen
the details of my divorce?

Did you find out
about Donna and Harvey

by snooping on me?

Because if the answer
to my question is yes,

I really don't care
to answer yours.

I'm not here to scold, Gretchen.

I'm here to tell you
that it was very painful

to have that thrown in my face.

Well, it was also painful
to be taken from Louis,

not to mention
for Donna to be treated

the way you treated her.

Which is exactly why
I just told her

she's keeping her vote.

- You did that?
- I did.

Maybe we all have things
we can learn from each other.

Maybe we do.

Then how about you
teach me something right now?

Would Louis prefer to hear
that he's getting you back

from me or from you?

I think,
under the circumstances,

he'd like to hear it from you.

Thank you, Gretchen.

What's that?

It's the deal
I'm willing to offer you

to make it all go away.

This isn't what Alex
and I talked about.

It's the best you're gonna do.

Then I might well just send
everything I have

down to the
U.S. Attorney's Office,

because this doesn't help me.

I don't think
you're gonna do that.

- Why not?
- Because I also have this.

I get it.

Mutually assured destruction.

It's not mutual anything

because you have a peashooter
and I have a howitzer.

That's bullshit.
I come forward...

You come forward,
it might not go well for Alex,

but he's not gonna end up
in prison.

I come forward...

and you will.

All right.

I'll take your deal.
It's too late for that.

I was willing to compromise,

but now you've made me
leverage you

and I'm not gonna do two
dirty things in one trip,

especially when we still have
a chance to do none.

What are you talking about?

We're gonna act like
your peashooter

and my howitzer never existed.

We're gonna negotiate
this thing one on one,

and I'm gonna crush you
the old-fashioned way:

By being a better lawyer.

Thanks for coming, James.

You invited me to your home
to make peace, Harvey.

I couldn't exactly refuse.

Not just to make peace.

I wanted to show
what I hadn't shown you before:

Respect.

Not sure I understand
where you're going with this.

I like to think I'm a smart guy,

but sometimes I don't see

what's right in front
of my face.

I thought
I was showing you I cared,

but instead, maybe it seemed
like I don't respect you.

Donna told you that, didn't she?

She did, and if you're
anything like me,

you might not have been aware

that that's what was going on
for you.

Sounds like you two are a lot
like me and her mother.

James, you have
an amazing marriage.

You've raised
a wonderful daughter,

and you've had love
in your life all this time.

If that's not something
to respect,

then I don't know what is.

And Donna once told me

about when you and her mother
were separated

and what you did
to get her back.

That's the most romantic thing
I've ever heard.

I wouldn't have taken you
for the romantic type.

That's because
I've never shown you I was.

I'm sorry
if I overreacted, Harvey.

And maybe I am something
like you, because...

I didn't see it
for what it was either.

And since you shared with me,
I'll share with you.

I'm up against it
with this deal,

and if it's not too late...

I could really use your help.

It's not too late, James.

Thank you, Harvey.

Samantha.

Rosalie.

You went to see Craig,
didn't you?

And what if I did?

I'd like to know why,
because I thought

I made it clear
I wanted to do it myself.

There were a lot of reasons,
Rosalie, not the least of which

is the two of you were too
emotional to see it clearly.

The two of us?

Yes, the two of you,
because Alex figured out

you came to me,
and he wanted to save you

as much as you wanted
to save him.

But I knew if I was the one
to put that gun on the table,

we might just get away
with not having to fire it.

- Why not?
- Because I've done it before.

And what were the others?

- "The others"?
- The other reasons.

You welcomed me
into your home the other night

and I saw what you had...

What you had to lose.

I've never had that.

I wanted to protect it.

You are one hell of a woman,
Samantha Wheeler.

Well, I don't know about that.

Well, I do.

Thank you, Samantha.

From the both of us.

You are both welcome.

What do you say
you come over to our house

for a late-night game
of Settlers of Catan?

What the hell is that?

Just some good family fun.

Well, maybe you should spend
the evening with your family.

Who's to say we wouldn't be?

Anyway, we haven't talked
recently as much as I'd like,

and I guess I was just
missing my friend.

Give me a call when you can.

I love you, Rachel. Bye.

Hey.

Where've you been?

I went to go thank you
for taking care of me with Faye

but you were gone.

I had to take care
of something else.

Why are you smiling?

Because your dad loves me.

- You made it right with him?
- I did.

And before you tell me
how happy you are with me,

I have something to say.

You said I needed to share
when I disagree with you,

but if we're gonna
make this work,

you also have to come to me

when something is going wrong
in your life.

You're talking about Faye.

You can't keep things

like her going after
your vote from me.

Even if you don't want me
to do anything about it,

you need to trust me with it.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I'll try.

Come here.

Wait a second.

What do you mean
"if" this is gonna work?

Donna, you know we're gonna
be together forever, right?

Well, not if that's how
you're gonna ask me.

- Doesn't matter how I ask you.
- Why not?

Because we both know
however I ask

it won't be exactly the way

you would have
instructed me to ask,

so might as well ask you
any way I want.

Well...

- Thatl...
- Go ahead.

- Okay...
- Keep stumbling.

That's only the second time

I've ever seen you
at a loss for words.

So, we're engaged, then?

Well, I...

- No, it's...
- Look who's stumbling now.

No, it's justl never
considered marriage part of...

Part of what?
Being together forever?

Sweet baby Jesus.

I never thought I'd say this,
but thank God

my mom is calling.

Mom, how can I help you?

Maybe you need me
to come up there a few days?

I just wanted to see
how it turned out

with Donna's dad.

It went great.

In fact, there's someone here
I'd like to introduce you to.

Mom, meet Donna.

Donna, meet Lily.

Lily, you have no idea

how long I have been wanting
to meet you.

Probably just as long

as I've been wanting
to meet you.

Well, now that
the two of you have met...

Mom, I'll give you call...
No, no, no.

You're not gonna get off
that easy.

Hey, Lily,

listen to what your son
just tried to pull off.

I'm all ears.
