Tess, there is such a thing
as right and wrong.

- You're married.
- What if I wasn't?

What you're doing,
it only ends one way.

I wasn't the only senior partner
who voted for hardman.

And I don't see you giving
anyone else shit the way you give me.

By the way, when the chips were down,
I backed you. I ousted him.

Tell yourself whatever you want, Louis.
But tell it to yourself.

I can't go away with you,
Harvey.

Why not?

The next time I have an option
to cross the line to save you,

I'll send you packing
and not think twice.

Now, get your shit together.

You need to go.
And I need to get my shit together.

How nice.
Greeting me at the door.

When are they going
to take that down?

Pearson...
Doesn't have the same ring.

Pearson paulsen sounds pretty good.

Okay, no, it doesn't.

- How's my day?
- How was your night?

And by night, I mean weekend.
And by weekend, I mean Zoe.

It was fine.

That's it? No fun banter?

No witty repartee?
And you're in the office at exactly 8:00.

Not early,
which would mean it went badly.

And not late,
which would mean it went great.

But exactly on time.
Which means...

You and Zoe never went away
for the weekend.

What happened?
Do you want to talk about it?

- I have ice cream.
- It's 8:00 am.

Which is why god made
chunky monkey.

It has chocolate and bananas.

Bananas are part
of a healthy breakfast.

And who cares about the bananas?
It has chocolate.

Okay, you caught me.
I don't even eat the bananas.

8:00 am. Means the business day
has already started.

I'd like to conduct
some business.

Well, in that case,
Trent Devon would like to see you.

So, schedule an appointment.

Okay. You have an 8:02
with Trent Devon.

I didn't meet you at the elevators
just to chat about your weekend.

Fine. Get Mike.

From home?

You've got to be kidding me.

My client is here?
And my associate is not?

- Well, I'm sure...
- Donna, I don't want to hear it.

The minute Mike Ross sets foot
in this building, I want to know.

I think it's a bad idea, Harvey.

We'll double the share price
by the end of the first quarter.

That's not what I meant.

I'm just... I'm not sure going public
is the best move right now.

That's why I'm here.

Trust me,
these aren't valid reservations.

- You're just getting cold feet.
- Harvey.

I'll have Donna send you some
fuzzy slippers. You'll be just fine.

Are fuzzy slippers going to stop
the title 16 ruling that came down Friday?

You don't even know
what that is, do you?

No, I don't.
But what I do know is,

it's not going to change
the value of your site.

You've tripled your reach
in the past 10 months.

Everyone is talking about you.

Now is the time.

Come on. We agreed on this.

What's this really about?

It's about the changes around here.

Nothing has changed. I'm here.

Harvey, I may be a tech head,
but I'm not oblivious.

This firm just went through a battle
and I know it.

Are you telling me that you don't trust me
to put your needs above the Finn's?

No. I've always
trusted you, Harvey.

I'm just saying I don't...

I think you might be too distracted
to give me the best advice.

- Trent.
- I have to consider my options.

About the ipo?
Or Pearson hardman?

Both.

Jessica: We have a problem.

Yeah?

Bernie carillo is thinking
of leaving us.

That's absolutely not true.
And I would know.

I have it on good authority.

So, let me guess. It's my fault.

Louis, I didn't come here
to blame you.

I came here
to give you a heads up.

You want to spit out
what you're chewing on?

Yeah. You ordered me to rescind an offer
due to a firrn-wide hiring freeze.

I staked my reputation on it.

Two minutes later,
you hire a fifth year.

You went back on your word
and you made me look like a fool.

I also gave you my word that there'd be
no coming back from your vote.

And I'm ready to go back on that.

We're losing clients, Louis,
and I can't have that.

So, today is day one
of the Louis litt rehabilitation program.

Take it. Move on.

It is time to heal the wounds.

I'll take care of carillo.

Come on!

- Out with it. What did you do?
- I think I put in too much toner.

With carillo, you imbecile.
He's considering a change of counsel.

Now, I want to know
what you did,

or, more likely,
did not do to cause this.

I don't...

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

What a shocker.

If you want,
I can go back and I'll re-try to...

No, no, no.

What I want is for you
to finish drafting the contracts

and deliver them to Rachel Zane
by 8:00 am. Tomorrow morning.

Then, wait for further instruction
politely seated

with your hands crossed
on your lap.

And if anything goes wrong,
I swear to almighty god

that you are gonna rue the day
that you decided to become

the embarrassment of a lawyer
that you are.

Louis litt does not lose clients.

Is that clear?

Uh... about the carillo contracts
or the fact that you don't lose clients?

Get out.

Sorry.

Uh-oh. Wait a minute.
What is this?

Is that a triple,
nonfat, sugar-free mocha latte?

Oh, you sweet, sweet... wait a minute.
What did you do wrong?

Okay, I'm offended.
You're questioning my motives?

Actually, Mike...

It's okay. You haven't
had your second triple latte yet.

I forgive you
because I am in a forgiving mood.

Right, but Harvey's... not.

I love the smell of litigation
in the morning.

- It's 8:30.
- Yeah. In the morning.

It's 30 minutes past
when you are required to be here,

which means it's an hour past
when you should be here.

Okay. Since when
do we use a time clock?

What are the new
ftc title 16 requirements?

Oh, they're nothing.
It's a nuisance.

Trent Devon's worried about them.

Okay. Well, all it is
is another form to fill out.

So, if that's what you're worried about,
it's fine.

What I'm worried about is the fact
that I could have told him that

had you been at the meeting this morning.
At 8:00.

I checked the schedule.
There was nothing on it for this morning.

It happened spontaneously.
As things do.

And I was there.
You were not there.

Did you not hear me when I told you
to get your shit together?

No, I did hear you. And I did
get my shit together, by the way.

That's why I'm late this morning.

Deciding to be late to get your shit
together is not getting your shit together.

Get it through your head.

We just went through a civil war
and the world knows it.

We're weak.

And the law of the jungle says
the weak get eaten.

Okay. Harvey, I'm sorry.
But you need to ease up here.

Ease up?

You're telling me to ease up
when our clients are leaving?

That's right.
Trent Devon might leave.

People don't leave me.

- I... I just...
- Enough.

Your job is to help me,
not to screw me.

If I tell you you did that,
I don't want to hear that you didn't.

I should have fired you last week.

You know what?
I should fire you right now.

But I cut you slack
because your grandmother died.

Well, you've used up the rope.

You keep it up,
I will fire you tomorrow.

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

"People don't leave me?"

- Donna, I don't...
- I do.

He deserved it.

He deserved a slap.
You knocked him across the room.

What happened with Zoe?

She's leaving New York.

To take care of her niece
whose father is dying.

Oh, my god.

Harvey, I'm sorry.

Is there anything...

Just one thing.

I don't think kicking the dog
is going to help.

Jimmy: Wow. You look like hell.

Jimmy.

You here to pick a fight with me?
'Cause I'm really not in the mood.

No. No, Mike. It's...
It's not like that, man.

You're not still pissed at me?

You gave me an out.

I might not have respected it
at the time, but I do now.

As far as I'm concerned,
I owe you one.

- Okay.
- Yeah. Let me buy you a drink.

Two conditions.
One, you still owe me one.

Two, you still owe me one.

As long as I still don't owe you one.

Bartender.

- It's good to see you, man.
- You, too, buddy.

So what's going on?
You had a bad day?

Yeah.

Okay. So, give it to me.

Well, evidently, getting in
at 8:30 can only mean one thing.

Yeah, that you
had your head up your ass

from 7:00 to 8:15.

How'd you know?

Are you forgetting?
I used to work for Louis, too.

Unlike you, I didn't
have Harvey there to protect me.

Yeah. This was Harvey.

Whoa. Ain't that some shit.

Anyway. Here's to the wonderful world
of being an associate. Right?

Yeah. At Pearson hardman.

What does that mean?

I'm at Bratton gould, my man.

And I'm happy.

No. Associates don't
get to be happy, Jimmy.

No, you do at Bratton gould.

I got an office.

Shoot me now. That's great.

Listen, Mike. When I said
that I owe you one, I mean it.

Okay, you didn't hear it from me,
but we're expanding.

So, if you want to jump,
just let me know.

- I'll put in a word for you.
- I can't leave Harvey.

Screw Harvey.
I mean, what's he done for you?

More than you know.

Okay, maybe.

But a year under Harvey specter,
they would kill to have you.

You wouldn't be the only one.

There are people from Pearson hardman
going to Bratton gould? Who?

I can't tell you that.

Jimmy, you have to tell me that.

Mike, come on.
If they knew it came from me...

They won't.

I saw Clark and Owens
meeting with our partners.

If you're here to give me
your letter of resignation,

I'll accept it in the morning.

Oh, that's ironic.
I was offered a job tonight.

- Congratulations.
- I passed.

You want credit for that?

No. I want to do the job
I already have.

Apology accepted.

Bratton gould is poaching our associates.
Clark. Owens.

- But he's also coming after...
- Our clients.

Trent Devon.

Someone's whispering in his ear.

Allison holt.

She was brought in
about a month ago.

She was ready to throw you
under the bus.

And Jessica threw her out.

So, you think she's in this
for revenge?

Maybe. But we both know
who brought her in.

Hardman.

You think this is him?

Jessica: Hell of a view.

Clark and Owens don't deserve this.

Which one is Owens, by the way?
The redhead?

You don't even know
who your associates are,

but you're here to complain
about losing them?

You bitter because you were fired?

I'm not bitter, Harvey.

Unlike you,
I don't take things personally.

And, by the way, I was right.
I advised you to settle and you settled.

Your advice was for us to settle
and I lose my law license.

And my question is, was taking that deal
your idea or Daniel hardman's?

You think Daniel's behind this.

You met with him six days ago.

I'm not even going to ask
how you know that.

I told you before, Jessica.
I'm a straight shooter.

Daniel wasn't dictating my actions then,
and he's not now.

Either way, we are filing a claim
for tortious interference.

You're using privileged information
to target our clients.

You really want to cry foul
to the ref?

You know who went to the ref
more than anyone?

Michael Jordan.
He did it quietly and he got six rings.

And he's my client.

Maybe I should call him, too.

You're not getting Trent Devon.

You can't keep people
who want to leave, Harvey.

Everybody knows
about your civil war.

Pearson hardman is falling apart.

And I'm telling you,

the avalanche has already started.

The carillo contracts.
They should be signed and on my desk.

- I know.
- Well, since you're so in the know,

perhaps you can tell me
why I don't have them yet.

Because they're not signed.

- Not signed?
- I called earlier to have them messengered.

- This story's already taking too long.
- And they said they didn't need to see them.

Still waiting.

They said they're
no longer a client.

Harold.

No. Harold didn't... Louis.
Harold didn't do anything.

Harold never does anything.

He got me the contracts
first thing this morning.

He worked all night. They were
really quite... they were really quite...

Quite what?

- Good, actually.
- Uh-huh.

- And how many citations did you correct?
- None.

- You're lying.
- No, I'm not.

I don't care.

Wow. Yeah, that is a tattoo.

It's cool, right? Yeah.

A manatee.
The slow, gentle cow of the sea.

No, it's a shark, actually.

Totally. No. Yes. That is... that's a
shark. That is a big, wide, fat shark.

- You're fired.
- Oh.

You can't fire Mike.

You, you moron.
You can't even get your firing right.

- I'm fired?
- Louis, come on. It's...

Pack up your things and go. Now.

But I did everything you asked.
I delivered the carillo contracts.

I don't care. The client fired us,
and now I'm firing you.

Times are tough, people.

We can't afford mistakes.
We can't afford incompetence.

You can't cut it, get out.

There is no place for mediocrity
here at Pearson hardman.

And there is certainly
no place for someone like you.

Everyone else, get back to work.

You know, I didn't just do
what he asked for carillo.

I went way beyond.

I didn't make any mistakes, and I know
they're not leaving because of me.

So, why didn't you
say that to him?

Because he makes me freeze.

You know, sometimes, I wish we would
have known each other at Harvard.

Yeah. Yeah. Harvard.

You probably hung out
with Duncan and those guys.

I hung out with the library.

I am such a loser.

No, you're not, Harold.
And for the record,

Duncan was a douche.

- He was a douche.
- Totally.

Like, a douchy douche.

Do you remember that thing
that he used to do?

- I... I know.
- You know what I mean?

See, that's what I mean.
If you would have known me there,

then at least someone here would know
that I wasn't always like this.

People used to come to me
for help on their essays.

We'd sit in the quiet of my apartment
where no one was yelling at me

and I could think.

And write.

Really?

Yeah. Here.

This is the first essay
I wrote in law school.

Look at the professor's comments.

Holy shit.

Louis is right.
I don't belong here.

No, he's not.

- Thomas?
- Poconos weekend.

- With the girlfriend.
- Which one?

- Doesn't matter.
- Done.

- Winters.
- Lunch with the mayor.

- Campos?
- Lunch with me.

Lunch with me.

- Benson?
- Box at the garden.

Have lundqvist meet him pre-game.

- Does the king do that?
- He does for me.

- Siebertz.
- Tickets.

- Super bowl.
- Broadway.

Really? Beneath that lumberjack chest
beats the heart of a songbird.

Fine. Anything but cats.

Cats closed over a decade ago.

What took them so long?

That's it, then. We're done.

Closed them all.

That's just foreplay.
We didn't close shit.

I want to have talked to every one
of my clients by the end of the day.

You stay on Trent Devon
until he takes the call.

I will. And Harvey?

No one is leaving you.

Okay. Harold is totally freaked out.

I think he's going to have an ulcer,
but the good news is

he'll never disappoint you again.
So,

you can go
and magnanimously hire him back now.

Why would I do that?

Um, I don't know.
Because you made your point?

You think that was a show?

Look. I know Harold can be...

Harold.

He's an idiot savant
minus the savant.

He tries hard.
He's a good person.

Yeah. Well, then,
tell him to join the peace corps.

Why don't you just give him
a second chance?

I did, Mike.
It was called his second day.

You realize you need cause, right?

You want a cause?

He left a zero off
the Hopkins settlement,

which cost the client $360,000.

He filed a motion with the appeals court
instead of the superior court,

which accidentally triggered
a death penalty review.

And then, the one and only time
that I take him to court with me,

his fly was down
and he called the judge "your owner."

You know
why he does those things, right?

Because you intimidate him.
You... you brutalize him.

You're always talking
about how great you are at grooming us?

Well, you are not great
at grooming him.

If he can't take a drill sergeant
yelling at him,

how can he handle
people shooting at him?

People don't shoot at us, Louis.

Don't they?

Okay. You know what?
You want him to stay...

Fine. He can stay.

Thank you.

One condition.
You personally guarantee

every piece of work product
that Harold sends out of this office.

Just like I have.

You check everything he does.

You cross every "t",
dot every "I",

and still do everything
you have to for Harvey.

People may not be shooting at us,
but we are at war.

So, how does that work for you?

Do we have a deal?

Harold.

I was just coming by
to wish you well.

Thanks, Rachel,
but I think it's going to be okay.

Mike's talking to Louis right now.

Really? That's great.

Well?

There was nothing I could do.

It's okay.
I know you tried, Mike.

If it will make you feel better, you're not
the only person being let go this week.

Well,

Clark and Owens are only getting let go
because someone found out

that they're moving to Bratton gould
with mckinney and kline.

- They are?
- Yeah, I overheard it.

I guess some people
will choose any port in a storm.

Harold. Good luck.

You, too.

- This sucks.
- It does.

He didn't deserve that.

Allison's not done.

We know.
We're working all the clients.

No, it's more than that.
She's taking mckinney and kline.

It's just two more associates.

No. It's more than that.

I tell you the rats arejumping ship
and you say it's fine,

but Donna nods
and you're busting out life jackets?

You have a history of panicking.

He's not panicking.

Clark, Owens, mckinney, kline.
These aren't just fifth-years.

- They're the best fifth-years.
- They're Louis' first class of associates.

He gave her a report card?

Harvey. You do not know that.

Well,
I'm going to goddamn find out.

Stop. Just...

Cut it out.
All right, I'll talk to you later.

I never liked you, Louis.

You're a vindictive, sniveling rat. But I
never thought you'd betray your own firm.

I've never betrayed this firm.

What do you call helping Allison holt
poach our associates?

I had nothing to do with that.

I love this firm, Harvey.

You were a traitor
when you voted for hardman,

and you're a traitor now.

Like I've told you before, I'm not the only
one in this firm who voted for hardman.

And I voted to oust him once I knew.

Once you knew
you had to save your own ass.

All right.
You know what, Harvey? Just get out.

Get out.

I did nothing wrong.

Jesus.

You bugged my office.

You ran to hardman
about the cm. Lawsuit.

You sold your soul
for a senior partnership.

And once you got it,
you created a drug policy

with the sole purpose
of firing me.

- I did it for hardman.
- Maybe hardman wanted me dead.

But you're the one
who went out, got the gun,

aimed it, and fired it at my head.

And it blew up in my face.

And what would have happened
if it didn't?

I was under orders.

Were you also under orders
when you ran to hardman about Monica eton?

How do you know it was me?

Because I set it up!

Because I know who you are.

Are you still going to tell me
you're not helping Allison?

Harvey. I swear to god.
I did not do this.

Maybe not. But now that you've done
what you've done,

I will never trust you.

Pearson hardman is my life.

Well, here's what's going to happen
from now on.

You and I?

We're done.

Don't drop by my office.

Don't ask Donna for information.

You're the guy that nobody wants,
but we can't get rid of.

But I'm senior partner.

So, I can't make you leave.

But as far as I'm concerned,

you don't even work here anymore.

That glass does not look half full.

You're cherry-picking
Pearson hardman associates.

I only want the best cherries.

Then, why not go after
the gardener who grew them?

You want to leave Pearson hardman.

I'm a proven commodity
who delivers outstanding billables.

With an unparalleled
knowledge of finance.

Yeah, I'm well aware
of who you are, Louis.

But how do I know that Harvey specter
didn't just send you here?

Because I'm the last person
that Harvey specter would trust.

Just ask Daniel hardman.

I did. He said you betrayed him.

Like I said,
I am well aware of who you are.

Well, if you spoke with Daniel,
then you would know

that he lost Pearson hardman not because
of my betrayal, but because of his own.

My loyalty
does not sway with the wind.

I'm leaving Pearson hardman because
there's no room for me there anymore.

- You could go anywhere.
- Yeah, well, I've done my homework.

You guys are expanding.
You are hiring well.

You're going to have a young staff
that needs guidance.

You know that I'm the right fit
and I want to move now.

You have a non-compete clause.

Jessica is going to waive the non-compete
as long as I don't take clients.

- I wouldn't if I were her.
- Well, you're not.

Harvey wants me gone. And he has a way
of getting what he wants, so...

There might be a partnership
position for you.

Senior partnership.

That, you're going to have to earn.

I have earned it.

And I'm not giving up
what I've worked for my whole life.

Louis, you've made a tactical error.

You've shown me all your cards.
You can't offer any clients,

and you're being forced to leave a place
that doesn't want you.

You are a very good fit for us.

But if you want to join us, you're going
to have to prove how much you want it.

- Please don't do this.
- Do what? I'm just negotiating.

You have an empty title.

If you come with us, I promise

that you will be truly valued.

Well, that's it. I've talked
to every client except Trent Devon.

Well, I know why he's
returning Allison's calls instead of yours.

Because he thinks we're not focused.

That's not enough. Come on.

You taught me to always ask...

What's in it for him?

If we're looking to expand our reach,
then Trent Devon's data platform

provides the perfect symbiosis
with our search algorithms.

Page 23.

The ceo of flash-start.

Allison doesn't represent them.

Google bought meebo for $100 million.

Allison is trying to do the same thing
with flash-start.

Allison doesn't represent them.

Pretend she does.

Trent gets $100 million,

but his company gets swallowed up,
and that's not what he wants.

Well, what if they let him run
both companies?

That's too good to be true.

It's happened before.

So, if that's true,
all we need to do

is figure out a way
to beat that deal.

We can't beat that deal.

Okay. So, what do we do?

Harvey: Why didn't you just tell me?

Allison said you had a history
and that it might

get in the way
of what she was offering.

- Flash-start.
- Very good.

But Allison doesn't represent them.

No, but she does represent a hedge fund
that's about to buy a controlling interest.

And let me guess.
They want you to run the whole thing.

We'll take on Google.

And let me guess.
You're here to try and beat it.

No. I'm here to tell you
to take it.

If I were you, I would. And I would hire
the lawyer who brought it to me.

- Thanks, Harvey.
- You're welcome.

There's just one thing.

- I wonder what's in it for her.
- What are you implying?

Let me look over the deal.
My own time.

If it is what she says it is,
I'll tell you.

If it's not,
you'll want to know.

Harvey, I already told you I...

Look.
You said we weren't focused,

and I'm not here to try to convince you
that we were.

But you also said
you've always trusted me.

And I'm telling you,
trust me one more time.

Louis. Do you need something?

Actually, yes.

I need you to waive my non-compete
so I can take a position at another firm.

Bratton gould.

I had nothing to do
with Allison holt's poaching.

What did she offer you?

I went to her.

Why?

Yeah, I...

I got Harvey's message.

What message?

You don't know?

Doesn't matter.
This is what he wants.

And this is what you want.

You know you can't take clients.

Oh, I wouldn't even if I could.

I have no desire to hurt our firm.
Your firm.

Do you know why I instituted
the Louis litt rehabilitation program?

Because I was seduced
by Daniel hardman once, too.

He made me feel special,

and smart,

and valued.

The problem was,
he really didn't give a shit about me.

But I will give him one thing.

He was right about you.

You deserve a senior partnership.

I'm going to let you go, Louis.

But just for the record,
I am not on the same page as Harvey.

I don't want you to go.

What?

Were we really quitting? Or was that
just a move to get to the contracts?

You don't think I have
his best interests at heart?

That's not what I asked.

If it's a good deal,
he should take it.

But you said
it's too good to be true.

What else did I say?

- That it's my job to help you.
- So, what are you going to do?

I'm going to go find out
what's too good about it.

Goodbye, Mike.

Hey. You can quit all you want,
but Trent Devon is not leaving.

Okay. Good talk.

Yeah.

You know who I am, asshole.

I'm sorry. Okay? I...

For what, sleeping with my wife?

You didn't do it on purpose?

It's over, okay? I swear to god.

You think it's that easy?

Keep your goddamn apology.
And stay the hell away from Tess.

Oh, my god.
What the hell happened to you?

Oh. I don't
want to talk about it.

- Ow.
- With me. Now.

This isn't the first aid kit
from the, uh, kitchen.

Use other people's antibacterial cream?

Please. I might as well
give myself a staph infection.

It's antibacterial.

That's what they want you to believe.

But you're using it.

Shh.

Looks like it's going to bruise.

Uh, I'm...
I'm sure it's going to be fine. It's...

How do you know how to do this?

Bruno used to get into these fights
with this Maine coon

on the thirty-seventh floor.

Pumpkin.

- No, I don't need...
- Here you go.

- I don't need tissues.
- Are you sure?

Put them down.

Are you going to tell me
what happened?

- It's New York. I got jumped.
- Did you call 911?

Have the police come
and ask a million questions

about a guy they're never going to catch?
No, thanks.

You knew him.

Let's just say
that actions have consequences.

Okay. I get it.

Yeah, I get that.

We going to talk about
that box you were carrying?

Oh, man. What box?

The box full of personal things

from your office.

Like you said.
Actions have consequences.

- Jessica fired you.
- Uh-uh.

- She asked me to stay.
- She did?

Yeah. Because she knows
that I would never sell out this firm.

- Then, I don't understand.
- Do I have to spell it out for you?

You're Harvey's right hand.
He hates me.

So? Jessica's the boss.

Come on.
Harvey's always hated you.

No, actually.
Harvey hasn't always hated me.

We were never Elmer and bugs.

We were Ralph and Sam.

- Who?
- Ralph wolf and Sam sheepdog.

The cartoon characters?

Yeah. They came to the Meadow
every day to work.

Friendly. But then,
when they punched in the time clock,

Ralph would try to steal the sheep
and Sam would stop him.

I mean, it was brutal.

And then they'd punch out again.
Fflends.

And that was me and Harvey.

Harvey's not punching out anymore.

And I can't walk in here every day knowing
that I'm going to be working side-by-side

next to someone who despises me.
I just...

Mike, I can't.

Louis.
If actions have consequences, then

maybe actions can redeem you.

No, it's too late for that.

The die has already been cast.

Here. You can send me a new tube
of arnica at your convenience.

You don't have to stay, but

I have some merger projections
that I have to go through for Harvey.

And I'm pretty sure
I'm going to be out of my depth.

Morning.

Thought I'd get in early
and destroy Allison holt.

How's that going?

It's a work in progress.

Mmm-hmm.

Louis' letter of resignation.
I found it on my desk this morning.

- Good.

Not good, Harvey.

We can agree to disagree.

We're not agreeing on anything.

You pushed Louis out the door.

It was not your call to make.

Louis may or may not
have helped Allison.

But he has betrayed you, me,
and this entire firm.

We're better off.

If you really believe that,
then something's got you off your game.

- Jessica, I'm not off...
- No.

Not you. Me.

Your job is to help me.

And when I say you are off your game,
you say, "how do I get it back?"

I went to Louis
to get him back on board,

and you made an end run around me.

When does it stop?

We can't let Trent go with Allison.
He's gonna...

Get screwed.

I... I'm sorry.

It's nothing.
Uh, it's just some stairs. So...

Oh, god.

I'm so sorry.
I... I didn't see her there.

- Who did this to you?
- I'm fine.

You're not.

And after I'm done kicking his ass, the
guy who did it isn't going to be, either.

- Harvey, just let it go.
- That's not who I am.

I deserved it.

What did you do?

I don't want to tell you.

I wouldn't call this
"getting your shit together."

I don't want to tell you
because of the story

you told me
about your mom and your dad.

You got off easy.

I know.

It's a bad deal.

What? You reading between the lines? Because
I couldn't find anything in the contract.

Because the problem's not
in the contract.

You said it yourself.
The deal's too good to be true.

The financials don't support it.

What, you get your mba overnight?

You went to Louis?

We worked all night. He didn't betray us,
Harvey. He found the problem.

They never wanted
anything to do with Trent's company.

After the deal, they're just going
to sell it off for spare parts.

That won't get them
what they paid for it.

But it will get them
what they wanted.

- Trent.
- Exactly.

Louis figured this out?

Trent's contract
has the same problem as Louis'.

He's got a non-compete.
They couldn't get him

to run the company
unless they bought his.

Now, Louis wants back in.

No, he doesn't. This is just his way
of saying he's sorry.

It's not on the menu, but might I suggest
the "I got my ass kicked" Martini?

It goes well with
the "second-tier law firm" potato skins.

Those come with bacon?

I don't know. Never had them.

I take it
my client's not coming.

He was your client. But then,
you offered him a deal too good to be true.

You got the papenlvork.

Because he trusted me.

Well played, Harvey.

No. Here's the play.

He's going to take his company public
like I told him to months ago.

A deal my new client, a certain hedge fund,
just agreed to underwrite.

You know edelson investments,
don't you?

I do.
Apparently, I used to represent them.

Ah. You're taking this well.

What do you want me to do, cry?

Harvey, we play the game.
Sometimes, we win. Sometimes, we lose.

Not me.

Which brings me
to a suggestion of my own.

Come work for Bratton gould.

- Come work for you?
- With me.

Did you not hear what I said
about the potato skins?

You're second tier.

What about you?

There's blood in the water, Harvey.

You may have fended off this attack,
but we're not the only ones circling.

We fended you off,
we'll fend off the rest.

With who?

I got all your best senior associates.
Your future.

And I'm not done.

We'll see about that.

Lunch is on us.

After all, we just landed
a huge new client.

You say "we", but...
I don't see your name on the door.

Mike. Mike. Mike.
I got your call.

You said you owed me one, right?

Yeah, and I meant it, too.

So, you're going to pay me back.

Happy to. Listen to me.

When I bring you in and you kick ass,

- I look kick-ass.
- Wow.

- You got your resume?
- Right there.

You've got to be kidding me.

You didn't think it was going to be easy
to pay me back, did you?

Harold?

I'm not going to look kick-ass.
I'm going to look ass-kicked.

Look at how he did.

- Are you kidding me?
- You keep saying that.

- Are we talking about the same Harold?
- I know.

Seriously, Mike. If this doesn't work,
I'm going to look like shit.

Jimmy. He needs a second chance.

Just like you did.

All right. All right.

You won't regret it.

Harold's great.
You're going to love his new tattoo.

He's here, isn't he?

Right over there.

Jessica: Not only do you
retain one client, you landed another.

I knew there was a reason
why I kept you around.

And a reason Allison holt's
trying to steal me away.

Congratulations.
I'm sure you'll be very happy.

What could possibly go wrong?

"Congratulations."
that's what I said to Mike.

Him, too? She's after everyone.

Don't worry. He's staying.
Loyal as a basset hound.

Oh. Are they particularly loyal?

I turned her down.

But?

I want my name on the door.

I don't want to end
around you anymore.

I want to discuss things with you.
As an equal.

It's a little late for that,
don't you think?

How long are we going to walk
by his name on the wall? Huh?

They're coming after us, and they're not
going to stop until we send them a message

that we are whole.

I'm not going to just slap
someone else's name up there, Harvey.

Someone?

I told you once, you don't make decisions
when you're reeling from a loss.

And your response was,
"let's quit today."

Not quit. Fight.

Without any thought
for the consequences.

With my gut,
which serves me well.

As a closer. Not a leader.

Jessica.

Watson, klyman, gallo,
goldberg, specter.

The first five senior partners you named.

The first five major moves I made.

All success stories.

Last week, you had me
steal someone from the da's office

for reasons you won't say.

We won't even go into
what you did to Louis.

- And then, there's the cherry on top.
- Mike.

Who showed up this
morning beaten to a pulp.

He also beat hardman to a pulp.

And one day, what he is isn't going
to be enough to make up for what he isn't.

Which is how you feel about me.

Harvey, what was Michael Jordan's record
on the bulls?

664 wins, 285 losses.

More than twice as many wins as losses.

Do you know what his record was
in the front office?

- No.
- 185 to 291.

Almost twice as many losses as wins.

You know how I know that?

Because you knew one day,
I'd come in here asking for this.

Because I look at the future
like an adult.

Are you saying it's a no?

I'm saying I'm not rushing this decision.

And that your judgment
that day was wrong.

Thank you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I thought you'd like to know
that, uh,

Harold got a job at another firm.

Good.

Look, Rachel...

He found out, didn't he?

I just want you to know that it was after
I ended things with Tess.

I want you to know
that I just don't give a shit.

I'm on my way

I'm on my way

I'm on my way

I'm on my way home

I'm on my way

I'm on my way

I'm on my way

I'm on my way home
