[MAN READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]

I want you to come home.

Back to the firm? Yes, and not only that,

you get the 10 best associates from Robert Zane to come.

What's in this for me? I'll make sure

you are the youngest senior partner we've had.

As of this morning, we're merging with Robert Zane.

You said my name would be the one to go up next.

You have my word. Your name goes up next.

Alex, what are you doing?

I'm going through Samantha Wheeler's files,

A fight's coming. I'm gonna be ready.

Are you sure you're gonna be okay

firing people you've worked with for years?

I'll tell you what I told Louis,

if I'm going to grow in my role,

this is something I have to learn.

I gave you an order. You blatantly ignored me.

I did do what you originally asked:

to objectively evaluate the associates.

I don't care. Brian is staying.

Gavin Andrews is a hell of a lot more than meets the eye.

A guy with your history would want to be more careful

about who he gets into bed with.

Tell me what you're talking about, or get out of my office.

I admit I'm starting to see what you see in her.

That's all I was hoping.

Now I can tell you why I was hoping.

What haven't you told me?

Her name goes up on the wall next.

I mean, how was I supposed to know she was married?

Maybe her wedding ring could have tipped you off.

Mm.

I was 23, you know?

I wasn't looking at no damn rings.

You really had some balls when you were younger.

Still do, thank you very much.

Now, why don't you get to it?

Why don't I get to what? Harvey, you've got plenty

of friends to have drinks with, most of them prettier than me.

You've got something on your mind. Let's hear it.

Do you remember when you told me you promised Samantha

her name would go up next? I do.

I made Alex the same promise.

Why you telling me now? Because we're partners.

I don't wanna keep any secrets from my partner.

Then I guess there's only one thing to do.

What's that? Kick the can down the road.

There's no way both of us are gonna be able

to keep that promise, and for all we know,

one of them could get hit by a bus before we have

to make that call. Then I guess

it's a good thing both our names are already up there.

Sure is.

Another drink? Yeah, make it a double.

And where are you going?

To make room for that double.

[SNIFFS]

Excuse me, would you mind...?

Oh, I'm so sorry, I-- I didn't hear you come in.

Um, I'll just go. Are you all right?

Uh, yeah.

I, um-- I just got a phone call. Um, it's not important.

[SNIFFLES]

Excuse me. No, you stay.

I'll use the one downstairs.

Take as long as you need.

For what it's worth...

I hope everything's okay.

[SNIFFLES] Thank you.

[SNIFFLES]

[♪♪♪]

What are you doing in my home?

I'm here because I have a way to get your Renoir back,

but I'm gonna need something.

What exactly is that? Give your ex the villa

in Bordeaux, and guarantee she never pays a nickel of upkeep.

And why would I do that?

You asked me to get that painting back

This is the only way.

No, I mean why would I do that

when your firm is about to sign my biggest competitor?

What are you talking about? I just learned

Samantha Wheeler's about to sign Delta.

Goddamn it. See, I thought

I made it clear if I sign with you

it is because I trust you. Using me as a stalking horse

doesn't make me trust you.

Gavin, that's not what's going on here.

I told you, that painting is personal to me.

I'm gonna tell you why.

My father was not a wealthy man,

but he had an education.

If there's one thing he appreciated

more than anything, it was art.

Every Sunday, we'd go to a different gallery.

We'd walk through-- he would tell me

everything he knew about every painting there was.

You know who his favorite artist was?

Renoir.

I paid $8 million for that painting.

It's worth twice that now, but I would never sell it...

because every time I look at it...

I think of him.

Gavin, I told you I'll get that painting back, and I will.

And I'll tell you something else--

There's no way Samantha's signing Delta goddamn Airlines.

[♪♪♪]

Thanks.

Alex, what a pleasant surprise. Cut the bullshit.

I found out you're going after Delta Airlines.

It's practically a done deal.

That was fast, since you only talked to Delta

after you found out I was pursuing Gavin.

One had nothing to do with the other.

I said cut the bullshit.

You did this because you knew you'd either sign Delta,

and I'd be out in the cold. Or Gavin would accuse me

of using him as a stalking horse.

I'd be out in the cold. If you're sure,

what are you doing here, ruining my morning bagel?

I'm here to tell you to back off.

That's not gonna happen. Listen to me.

I don't know how you did things before,

but around here, we don't stab each other

in the back. What do you call

going after my old client for the sole purpose

of making me look bad?

Because I'm not gonna let that slide.

Not to mention I warned you Gavin isn't worth the trouble.

You don't want to look bad, or the client's trouble?

Which one is it? It's both,

if you can't see that, not my problem.

What I see is you standing between me and a client.

And if I were you, I'd get the hell out of the way.

Then you'd better sign your guy fast,

I'm already on the one-yard line with mine.

I'm about to punch it in.

[GROANS]

Hey.

Good morning, Robert. It will be

once this damn hangover wears off.

Out late last night, yo? Uh, no, I was here

forgetting my age and matching Harvey

drink for drink. What can I do for you?

Robert, if you're hungover,

I can whip up nana's special remedy.

I need sugar, tea, a little steamed milk,

and two of my cuticles.

I'd rather have the hangover.

It's about the tea, isn't it?

She's from the old country. I can substitute--

Louis. What in God's name did you come in here for?

Okay. Robert.

The other day when I was feeling left out,

you and Harvey let me know that you clocked me.

Well, I realized that there's someone

that I haven't been clocking.

What are you talking about? When I brought Katrina over,

I told her she was gonna be

the youngest senior partner in firm history,

I wanna fulfill that promise.

Let me get this straight:

you're holding me to a promise you made to her

so you could steal her from me.

That's not the point. You know it.

Katrina is a great lawyer, and it's time.

Maybe it is time, but senior partner

isn't just "lawyering," Louis.

It's about managing people, and I don't know

how good Katrina is with people.

Well, then you tell me.

What can she do to prove herself to you?

[KNOCKING ON GLASS]

Excuse me, Mr. Specter?

I know you, you're-- From last night.

I, uh...

wanted to return this.

You were very kind. Thank you.

It's nothing. I was just hoping

everything was okay. Actually,

that's the reason that I'm here.

What do you mean? I was upset last night

because I got a call from my mother.

She needs an operation, and I can't afford it.

What are you asking?

I've worked enough overtime hours

to make having that operation possible,

but they won't pay me overtime because my title

is Facilities Manager.

I don't manage anything.

I was hoping maybe... I'd be able

to get you your money. Yes.

Listen, Miss...? Anna.

Anna Reed. Anna, your employer

is my landlord, so if I get involved

things could get very complicated.

But it's a simple matter of paying me for my work.

If that were true, why would he listen to me

when he didn't listen to you?

Because people like me don't matter

to people like them.

I'm just the lady that cleans their toilet.

Please, Mr. Specter.

I'm not proud to ask you for this,

but my mother needs this. And when it comes

to taking care of people we love,

pride has no place.

Okay. Look...

I can't promise anything, but I'll try.

Thank you.

I knew you were kind.

Don't tell me, you're dating the cleaning woman now.

And what if I was? I'd say congratulations.

Tell me why she was here.

I ran into her in the bathroom last night. She was crying.

The building isn't paying her what she's owed,

and she asked me to look into it.

She asked you to pick a fight with our landlord,

who is a mean son of a bitch, and this is a bad idea.

I'm not an idiot, and I'm not picking fights with David Fox.

I'm gonna talk to the man for two minutes.

If he doesn't see it my way, that's it.

Trust me.

Okay, Harvey.

I trust you.

[♪♪♪]

There you are. Been looking all over for you.

If there's any chance whatever it is can wait...

It can't. I need you to supervise Brian Altman.

What?

I am in the middle of a case.

There is a huge meeting in an hour.

Have him help you. I don't need any help,

and I can't be mentoring someone now.

It's not mentoring, it's managing.

Then have someone else manage him.

Damn it, Katrina, this is your chance to be senior partner.

Oh, my God. That's right.

I talked to Robert about making good

on my promise to you. I shouldn't

be telling you-- No one can know.

He's on board if you can show you are a manager.

Okay, uh...

Look, then just do me a favor.

Please tell Brian to familiarize himself

with Bigelow Textiles and meet me

in the conference room in 45 minutes.

Katrina, is something going on?

Why would something be going on?

I just told you your dreams are coming true,

and it looks like you ate a bad clam.

I'm sorry, Louis.

This is amazing news. I'm just crunched for time.

So, please, just tell Brian to be there,

and I will handle him from here on out.

Okay, I'll let him know.

[♪♪♪]

David Fox. I'm Harvey Specter.

Of, uh-- Something, Something, Specter Litt?

Don't tell me us changing our name

is gonna be an issue again. No, it's not.

Donna Paulsen saw to that in your new lease.

Donna has a way of getting what she wants.

Why don't you tell me why you're here.

I need your help. There's a cleaning woman on our floor

who can't afford her mother's medical bills.

Turns out, technically, she's a facilities manager,

which means she's not eligible to make overtime.

A maid with a manager's title.

Sounds to me like she's being empowered.

You and I know that title is just a way

to get around paying what she's earned.

I don't know any thing. Bullshit.

She's your employee. Wrong.

I contract my cleaning services

to another company, a company I don't run.

That company is more than a piece of paper and a P.O. Box?

Why don't you pay them a visit?

Listen, David, all I'm asking

is do the right thing.

Pay her for her work.

Why don't you reach into your own pocket?

That's what you're asking me.

I do this for her, I gotta do it for everyone.

If you don't do it for her,

you will have to do it for everyone.

You'd better watch what you say to me,

in case you forgot, you're living under my roof.

If you don't back off, I'll take that roof

and everything else,

You violated half-a-dozen laws threatening a tenant.

You wanna take me on, you go for it,

I didn't get where I am

by letting people push me around.

Last time, Donna kicked your ass.

Well, I'm not Donna,

so you pay my client what you owe her.

[♪♪♪]

Alex. We need to talk

about Samantha Wheeler.

What does that mean? It means she's making a play

for Delta Airlines. I want you to stop her.

Why would I want to stop her?

She went after them to stop me

from signing Gavin, and team mates

don't do that to each other.

This team mate talk sounds great,

but you went after one of her old clients.

I didn't choose Gavin because he was hers.

He was the most valuable client to Robert Zane.

The fact he was hers wasn't gonna stop me.

Wasn't gonna stop you, or icing on the cake?

What difference does that make? What you're asking me?

It makes all the difference. After Zane ended up

as managing partner I wanted to take her on.

You said I should make a friend of Zane.

I went after Gavin to impress Robert,

if you're not gonna stop her,

I might as well have gone after her.

All right. Giving up a client with eight-figure billables

is going out on a limb, so I do this,

you better deliver Gavin Andrews.

I will, Louis.

You have my word.

Samantha Wheeler.

You and I need to have a little chat.

Louis Litt. To what do I owe the pleasure?

Oh, you know who I am. A man like yourself

needs no introduction. That is very kind of you.

I'm not here for you to blow smoke up my ass.

Let me guess: Alex realized he wasn't gonna stop me on his own.

You were trying to undermine him. I'm here to tell you

you're gonna stop pursuing Delta.

I don't believe this.

Are you seriously coming in here to tell me

I can't sign one of the world's biggest airlines?

Yeah, I am.

This isn't a discussion, it's an order.

I hope you've had a chance to think long and hard about this.

Because I'd be careful what you wish for.

You trying to intimidate me?

Just giving you a little advice.

Well, listen here, sweet face.

I get it.

You're the it girl.

Well, you know who I am?

I'm Litt man. You can try to sashay

your six-foot frame around here

like you're Brigitte Nielsen in 1985--

Turn me into a puddle, get me to capitulate.

Well, I got news for you: it's not gonna happen.

All right.

I'll drop Delta.

I knew you'd see things my way.

But someday...

you're gonna come asking for a favor.

Might not be today, might not be tomorrow,

but it's gonna happen...

And when it does...

I'm gonna remember this conversation.

And Louis?

If you think I couldn't turn you into a puddle,

you are wildly mistaken.

So we're clear. You'll drop the client.

I have to go somewhere now. Mm.

I'm sure you do.

Brian.

What's going on? You look lost.

I'm not lost. I'm just under the gun.

Have you seen Katrina? No, why?

Bigelow Textiles is in the conference room.

The meeting was scheduled five minutes ago.

I don't know what to do. Easy.

Katrina's never missed a meeting.

If she's not there, she will be. Go ahead.

Thing is, I just got the case an hour ago.

I'm hazy on the particulars at best.

I should cancel. I don't think

that's a good idea. What happens if I start,

and she doesn't show up?

What happens when you cancel,

and she shows up? Donna--

Brian, look.

I know your value, and I believe

Katrina knows your value, but the truth is,

you were on the chopping block.

If you've been invited in on this case,

you're being offered another chance.

Canceling a meeting Katrina's running

late to isn't the way to prove myself.

No, it's not.

[SIGHS]

You're right.

I'll get it going.

[♪♪♪]

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Harvey.

There a reason 49th floor toilets suddenly backed up?

Why would I know that? When I called

to have it fixed, they couldn't get to it for four hours.

And in the meantime, maybe you could

take a look at it.

Son of a bitch.

You, you, you.

Drop what you're doing and meet me

in the conference room. We're working--

I don't give a shit. Conference room, five minutes.

DONNA: Harvey.

I'm in the middle of something.

I can see that. Do you mind telling me

what that has to do with those toilets?

It has to do with the fact that David Fox wants a fight,

and I'm gonna give him one. A fight about what?

He doesn't want to pay our cleaning woman overtime.

Hang on, so you're pulling the associates

off the Vistech merger to help her?

You want me to use different associates?

I don't care what associates

you're using, I want to explain to you

that David Fox is no joke.

As noble as it sounds, you don't want

to get in a fight with him over something like this.

I know that. That's what I said to Zane.

But... But what?

Harvey, this isn't what we do. Mike would have done it.

Mike's not here because he finally came

to terms with the fact that this isn't what we do.

Look, if you told Zane you knew this wasn't worth it,

then you already know I'm right.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, Donna. You're right.

Tell those associates to get back

to what they were working on.

[♪♪♪]

[BREATHING HEAVILY] Mr. Bigelow, nice to meet you.

I'm sorry we're running late. I'm Brian Altman.

Where the hell's Katrina?

I'm sure she'll be right here.

Can I offer you-- No, no, no. I don't have time.

If Ms. Bennett can't bother showing up on time,

she can play catch-up when she gets here.

Okay, I see you're in a hurry.

Let's go through the report from the top.

I don't need you to read me the damn report.

What I need are some answers.

Um, all right. What do you want to know?

What kind of exposure are we looking at?

Well, Kineserve claims you improperly broke

your contract, but the board minutes

don't indicate any bad faith on your part.

That's the good news. And the bad news?

The minutes don't show any discussion of good cause

for terminating the contract, either.

No good cause?

Did you see the delivery manifests?

Um, I'd have to take another look at them

before weighing in. Another look?

What about the stress test results?

Right.

Let me just find that. You haven't even read

all the goddamn minutes, have you?

I must have just missed that part.

If you'd let me find it...

I can see what's going on.

Katrina didn't think I was worthy of her attention,

so she pawned me off on some incompetent,

second-rate associate. I can assure you

that is not the case. Katrina values your business very much,

and I am a fully capable attorney.

Not from what I see.

If I can't be handled by a competent attorney,

I don't see why I should be handled by this firm.

Please, Mr. Bigelow.

If we could reset, I think we got off on the wrong foot.

Get your shit together. I'm not about to watch you

bumble through something you're not prepared for.

Next time you call me for a meeting without Katrina,

don't bother calling me in at all.

[♪♪♪]

[GASPS]

I don't believe this.

Brian... No, you sent me in

to a meeting by myself, and you're, what?

Out taking a stroll around the park?

Not now. Yes, now, I just got

my ass handed to me by your client.

I wasn't taking a stroll, I was in the bathroom.

It's the only place in this building that's dark and quiet.

What are you talking about? I had a migraine.

One of the worst ever.

When it was time for the meeting I opened the door,

but even with the sunglasses the light made it feel

like there were icicles in my head, and I couldn't leave.

Brian, I'm so sorry.

I had no idea you get migraines.

I haven't had one since high school.

They're triggered by stress. You mean like the stress

of having to fire a bunch of associates.

They started the day after.

You need to tell Louis.

No, Louis is the last person who can know.

Why would you wanna hide this? You don't get nine shots

at senior partner, you get one.

You're up for senior partner.

I am.

No one is supposed to know about this, not even me.

And if suddenly I start getting migraines

that make it seem like I can't handle the job...

No one's gonna find out anything from me.

But Bigelow is pretty pissed. Well, Bigelow isn't going

to be at the motion to dismiss tomorrow,

so as long as I win that, we'll be fine.

In the meantime, I'd better go face the music with Louis.

Brian, you don't have to do that.

If I don't, he's gonna find out

about your migraines.

[SIGHS] Be direct.

Tell him you're sorry.

He might not be happy, but he'll respect you.

Brian.

If ever there were any doubt

about you being a valuable associate...

there isn't anymore.

Anna, it's Harvey Specter. ANNA: Mr. Specter.

I didn't expect to hear from you so soon.

Does this mean that-- I'm afraid

it's not gonna work. What?

SPECTER: I tried talking to them.

There's nothing I can do.

You mean you don't want to make a problem

for your firm. SPECTER: No.

Anna...

there's another firm I can recommend.

I can't afford to pay another firm.

SPECTER: You wouldn't have to.

Look, the guy who used to do cases like this

doesn't work here anymore, but he used to work

at a clinic, and I'm talking about setting you up.

ANNA [SIGHS]: I should have known

you'd pawn me off.

I'm not pawning you off. I promise,

I will go down there and make sure one

of the two lawyers I know handles this personally.

Okay.

If you trust this firm, then I trust you.

I'll be in touch.

[♪♪♪]

Yes, absolutely.

I agree 100 percent.

Never again.

Can I talk to you? Sure as hell can,

'cause I wanna know what the fuck happened.

That's what I came-- I don't need to hear it,

because I got off the phone with Bigelow,

and he tells me you couldn't answer

a goddamn question. I know that, and I just--

He also says, and I quote, "I never wanna

be in another meeting with Brian Altman again."

I-- I'm sorry, Louis. I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

That's all you have to say?

Because you just let down Katrina.

Do you understand what I'm saying to you?

I do. I do not think that you do.

Because she wanted to fire you, Brian, and I wouldn't let her.

She gives you a second chance,

and you do this?

What the hell is your excuse, Brian?

Do you just suck at your job, or are you actively trying

to undermine a direct supervisor?

I guess I suck at my job. Something like this

ever happens again, forget about being fired.

You're gonna wish you were never born.

Get out, because right now John Bigelow isn't the only one

who never wants to see your face again.

[♪♪♪]

Hi, can I help you?

Is Nathan Krueger here?

Nathan's in Philadelphia on a case.

How about Oliver Grady? Oliver's out with a client.

Is there something I can help you with?

No, thanks.

Can I tell them who stopped by?

It's okay, I've taken enough of your time.

[♪♪♪]

Is that what I think it is? Renoir.

Signed, sealed, and delivered.

Mind telling me how you pulled it off?

Absolutely, as soon as you hand me

a signed engagement letter.

I'm gonna do you one better.

Take out your phone and check out

the latest edition of the Journal.

I don't believe it.

You issued an announcement saying we're your new attorneys.

I told you, you're my guy.

I don't mind the world knowing it.

So where do you want this?

I don't give a shit, 'cause it's not gonna be here long.

What?

I'm shipping it to the Cayman Islands

where a certain airline company's

gonna pay me $55 million for it.

I thought you said it was only worth 16,

and that you'd never sell it.

Well, that's the thing about art:

the value is in the eye of the beholder.

I want you to behold this.

You want me to on-shore 55 million

from a blind trust in the Caymans?

I have to tell you, this looks a hell of lot

like laundering money. It's a good thing

you don't know, because if you don't know,

you can do it, and you're going to do it.

I get it.

You gave me a bullshit story

about this having sentimental value.

You put out an announcement saying

we're your attorneys.

And now, if I don't do this,

you drop us, and the world thinks

we shit the bed inside of a day.

You catch on quick.

I'm not doing it.

Maybe you will, maybe you won't.

You'd better think about how you're gonna explain

to Robert Zane how you signed me

and lost me inside of two days.

[♪♪♪]

There you are. I've been waiting for you

to give me something to do.

There isn't much left, so I'm handling it myself.

Katrina, come on, there's a ton of work left.

I can see you're still in pain.

There must be something.

I'll be fine.

What if I turned all the lights on?

Would you be fine then?

'Cause that's what it's gonna be like

in court tomorrow. Brian.

I heard what happened with Louis,

and I'm not going to let that happen again.

Listen to me.

I knew what I signed up for when I said I'd keep

your situation a secret. And I appreciate it.

Now I'm going to go into court tomorrow

and do the best I can.

Katrina, you gave me a second chance,

and when you did, you admitted you were wrong.

Not everyone would do that.

Someone that would is exactly the kind of person

I want to have leading me as a senior partner.

So if you won't let me do this for you,

at least let's do it together.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, Brian. We'll do it together.

Whatever it is, I'm meeting a client for dinner.

That's okay, I just have one question.

Did you know? Know what?

That Gavin Andrews was gonna ask me

to launder money for him.

I don't believe it. You knew it the whole time.

No, I didn't.

I knew he was gonna ask you to do something.

You and I are gonna go upstairs

and figure out how to get out of this.

Are you out of your mind?

I'm not going near that man's account.

You are, because you knew my history

and you let me sign him anyway.

Are you kidding me? I brought up your history.

I was in no position to trust you.

What I was I supposed to do?

You could have given me specifics.

No way you didn't have something

that would've convinced me you're telling the truth.

How was I to trust you wouldn't use

that against me? I wouldn't.

Oh? If I had said, "Don't sign this guy.

He's gonna ask you to cover a murder."

You weren't gonna use it? That what he asked you to do?

This conversation is over.

You made your bed. Don't cry

because the sheets are dirty. I'm not gonna cry to anyone.

I'm gonna tell Zane what this man

is about, and we'll see what happens

when he finds out whatever shit you did.

You don't think Robert knew?

Why do you think he didn't fight

for Gavin's business when we left Rand Kaldor?

You're saying Zane knows you did illegal shit?

I'm saying, Robert Zane knew what kind of a client

Gavin Andrews was, that I knew how to handle him,

and that I stopped wanting to.

Then help me get out of this.

Why should I? Because we're on

the same team. That's supposed

to mean something, especially when it's about

breaking the law.

Please, Samantha.

I should have listened to you, but I have a family.

I can't afford to do something that'll hurt them.

[SIGHS] Okay, Alex.

You are a family man.

He is not. What are you saying?

I'm saying, you're the kind of man

that would go to any length to protect your family.

Gavin Andrews is the kind of man

that would go to any length to protect himself.

[♪♪♪]

So all we need to do is open with material breach,

show severability doesn't apply, then close

with impossibility of performance.

We do all that, it'll drive the stake

right through their claim.

We?

Yes, we.

Although I'm feeling better,

you did this as much as I did, which means

we should do it together.

You sure?

I'm sure.

I do believe that's the first time

I've seen you smile since we started

this whole thing.

I was just thinking about my senior year of high school.

This is how I used to do my homework.

You had an associate write your papers for you

in high school? I had a study partner.

He was my best friend.

We used to write our papers together by flash light.

Never thought I'd be doing the same thing years later.

You in touch with him?

No.

But I feel like I am after tonight.

Now you're smiling. I know it sounds cheesy.

No, I was just thinking about where we were a week ago

when I thought you were cold and heartless.

I went from that to being your best friend

in record time. I wouldn't say best friends.

You can only say stuff like that to me

because we're, like, best friends.

Well, I don't know about that.

But we are close enough for me to tell you

that you're going to go to court

by yourself tomorrow.

I thought you said you were feeling better.

I am, but you did all this to help prove

that I could manage people,

and what kind of manager would I be

if I didn't give you a chance to prove yourself to John Bigelow?

You sure?

I'm sure.

[♪♪♪]

You gotta go down to Central? How long's that gonna take?

Take as long as it takes.

What the hell is going on here?

You all right? You look like hell.

The elevator wouldn't stop here.

Had to get off at 45 and hike here.

You gotta keep in shape.

That was only five floors. Is that the problem

we need to talk about? No.

An hour ago, the elevators

weren't working at all. Shit.

Now this ass clown says that he needs

to have approval to order a fuse.

What? I said that he's--

I know. I wanna hear it from him.

What do you want me to say? I got orders from my supervisor.

No new parts without Mr. Fox's specific approval.

I know what's going on here.

What are you talking about? About the fact

that this is no goddamn coincidence.

[♪♪♪]

Anna, it's Harvey Specter.

I've got good news: I've decided

to take care of you myself. [STAMMERING]

Because I showed up to work this morning

and they told me I was fired, and that I shouldn't bother

applying to any... Anna, I got something

I can't reschedule right this second.

I'm gonna have to-- Please.

I was in horrible shape before, now I don't know what to do.

I'll tell you what: I'm gonna call you back

in five minutes, you'll tell me what happened.

I'm not gonna let them get away with this.

What the hell is going on with that cleaning woman?

You weren't gonna pick a fight, and you did.

Our elevators aren't working.

You wanna know what's going on?

David Fox just retaliated against Anna by firing her,

and I'm about to knock his teeth out.

You will do no such thing. Relax, Robert.

We can handle a clogged toilet.

Did you hear what I said?

Not talking about toilets.

The man shut down our elevators.

I'm not gonna lose clients

because you decided the cleaning staff

is more important than this firm.

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

You said that you were

gonna have a two-minute conversation,

and if that's all you did

he wouldn't be sabotaging us.

You know what? I don't care

what he's doing to us. I care what he's doing to her.

What did you just say? I don't care

what he's doing to us. Well, I do.

Excuse me? You heard me, Harvey.

I don't know what you're doing,

but it needs to stop. I don't believe it.

You're siding with him. Yes, I am.

You're not gonna want to hear this,

but I am too. If you keep escalating this,

it's not just gonna be broken elevators.

He's gonna find a way to kick us out.

You aren't gonna wanna hear this,

but I don't give a shit whether he kicks us out or not.

That's enough. You don't go to war with the guy

that owns your house.

End it, and end it today.

[♪♪♪]

[COPY MACHINE HUMMING]

DONNA: May I join you?

You don't usually ask that.

You haven't made your own copies

since we were at the DA's office.

I guess I haven't.

Harvey, I thought that you were gonna

take this thing to the clinic.

That's what I did, Donna.

But Nathan and Oliver weren't there,

there were cases piled high on every desk,

and nobody there would care about her

the way I needed them to, so...

I turned around and I walked right out.

I see. How did I get here, Donna?

I'm at odds with Robert and Louis, and now even you,

over something two months ago shouldn't have even shown up

on my radar.

I'll tell you how you got here...

and I can't believe I didn't see this

the second you started this thing.

Harvey, you're missing Mike.

What are you talking about? Don't you see?

This case has Mike Ross written all over it.

You didn't walk out because Nathan and Oliver weren't there,

you did because Mike wasn't there.

What am I supposed to do about that?

This woman needs help, and I am not gonna throw her

out on the street. Tell you what I'd do.

I'd call Mike.

If anyone's been in a situation

like this before, it's him,

and he's the best person to figure a way out.

But you've got to do it soon,

because Robert and Louis are right.

You have to let this thing go.

[♪♪♪]

Is it done? It is done.

Good.

Wasn't so hard, was it? Not for me.

What's this?

The hell did you do with my money?

I found you a legitimate business opportunity.

In the goddamn Cayman Islands?

Funny thing: most people want

to repatriate their money, which means you can make

a sweet deal by investing locally instead.

You can't do this. You don't have the authority.

I do now, because you're looking

at the new trustee of your account.

That's impossible. Is it?

Pretty smart making your niece trustee

to insulate yourself.

When I told her you set her up

to take the fall if authorities found out

where your money came from, she was happy

to sign over control to me. I don't believe you.

Pick up the phone and call her.

She's kind of pissed at you.

Thanksgiving might be weird this year.

You son of a bitch. You sold me out.

No, Gavin, I didn't.

I did what's in your best interest,

regardless of the fact that you're too stupid to see it.

You're fired. I don't think so.

Because if I can do this to you,

imagine what I can do for you.

But if you ever ask me to do anything like this

ever again, I won't just turn you in.

I'll sign over every nickel of this trust to your niece,

and every other relative you've ever screwed over.

Are we clear?

We're clear.

[♪♪♪]

[KNOCKING ON GLASS]

Louis, can I talk to you for a minute?

Of course. But first, I understand

congratulations are in order.

I heard you won in court today.

That's the thing.

It wasn't me who won, Louis, it was Brian.

What? Just let me explain.

Explain what? They said "no Brian," you didn't listen?

I don't care what the client said

because two years ago, a client said,

"no Katrina" and "no Rachel,"

and you told them to go to hell.

So why should I be any different

as a manager than you? Because, Katrina,

the situation was different.

You didn't shit the bed, Brian did.

No, Louis, he didn't.

I did.

What are you talking about?

I've been getting migraines, Louis.

I used to get them as a kid, and ever since I had

to fire those associates, I started getting them again.

And you were afraid to tell me

because of senior partner.

Yes, and I was supposed to be in that meeting

and Brian didn't tell you about it

because he was protecting me.

So it wasn't Brian's fault, it was yours.

It was.

And I know you're gonna have to tell Robert everything,

and I know that probably means I won't be senior partner,

but I can't let Brian hurt his career for me.

Katrina, the only thing I'm gonna be telling Robert

is that you're gonna make one hell of a senior partner.

[♪♪♪]

Is that what I think it is? If you think it's the plan

to put this Fox thing to bed, then yes.

[CHUCKLES]

This is good.

Mike's a pretty smart guy. It is good,

but Mike didn't come up with it.

I did. Well,

now that you mention it, I do see a bunch of flaws.

Seriously, Harvey, this is great, but...

why didn't you talk to Mike?

Because I thought instead of calling and asking

for a solution, I'd rather call and tell him a story

with a happy ending. And you don't send in

the puppy to clean up the dog's mess.

Something like that. In that case,

you're gonna need this back. No, I'm not,

because you're gonna be the one to give it to David Fox.

Why me? Because we still need

to get him to agree, and we can either do it

with a sledgehammer or a velvet glove.

I get it.

You're saying I'm a sledgehammer.

Something like that.

Listen, Harvey, if you're gonna send me in there

to negotiate this, I need to know

that I have carte blanche to do what it takes

to close him. I know.

You do.

Hey.

How'd you think of this?

Easy.

I just thought, "What would Mike do?"

[♪♪♪]

Donna Paulsen.

David Fox. You know, if you're here

to harass me about this cleaning lady,

then you can just turn right around.

I'm here because of this.

[♪♪♪]

You're filing a class-action lawsuit?

We're not, East Side Legal Clinic is.

Which means that no matter what you do to us,

it's not going away.

And if you try to fire anybody else,

you'll be getting another one of those.

It won't be for overtime, it'll be for retaliation.

You'll be in court for the rest of your life.

Why are you here instead of Harvey Specter?

Because if Harvey were here, he'd drop that down,

walk out, and go to war with you.

I, on the other hand, have a compromise.

Which is? Give Anna Reed her job back,

you start paying those people what they're worth...

And? You get free legal services

from Harvey Specter for the next year.

Oh, come on. Bullshit.

There's no way he agrees to that.

He'll agree to it, all right.

You mean he doesn't know.

No, he doesn't.

He gave me the authority to close this.

That's what I've determined it's gonna take

because neither one of you is gonna compromise

unless you know the other one is getting shafted.

One condition.

Nope. This is take it or leave it.

You won't even hear it.

No, because I have no interest

in going to dinner with you to close this.

So what's it gonna be?

War or win-win?

You set up the paperwork in the morning, we got a deal.

I'll do you one better.

I'll send it down in the morning.

I got better things to do with my time.

[♪♪♪]

What's this?

Floor-level tickets for the UFC at Barclays.

You did your homework. I did.

Like you told me I should have done

with Andrews in the first place.

That means you took care of him?

And the horse he rode in on.

Anyway, I know we'll probably end up

going toe-to-toe plenty of more times

before it's all over, but for now, good night.

You're more than meets the eye.

Alex.

I know you think we're in competition

for the same thing, but we're not.

What are you talking about?

Robert Zane made me a promise.

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

Why are you telling me this?

We're never going to trust each other

if you think I'm trying to get ahead.

I'm not.

Because I already am.

[♪♪♪]

Good night, Samantha. Good night, Alex.
