You walked out of our session
because you didn't want

totah 00:00:08,008
And you're a self-serving
narcissist who will do or say

anything to get what he wants.

It's my sister's company.
I'll give you her business.

All you have to do is
handle her divorce.

All right, I'll do it.

Promise me you won't
sleep with Esther.

The last thing I want to do
is sleep with your sister.

Would you like to take
me home tonight?

I would.

Jack soloff signed
Fletcher as a client.

And now I have to let
mckernon go.

I'm sorry you're in
this position right now.

I'm not the one who putyouinit

Jack soloff is.

This is your last
chance to work with me.

Take it, and you have a future.

Don't, and you can go ask
Daniel hardman for a job.

I'm ready to talk
about my mother.

Mom?

Mom?

Harvey.

What are you...
What are you doing here?

I got sent home from
school. I threw up.

Well, let's get you to...

Hey, lil, I was thinking that...

Who's that? Honey, uh,
you remember our cousin.

My cousin, Scott?

Hey. No.

Of course you do.
He's cousin Judy's brother.

Idontfeelgood.

Oh, yeah. You're burning up.

Let's get you to bed.

And let's not tell dad
about cousin Scott. Okay?

'Cause they don't get along.

Come on.

You poor thing.

"You poor thing."

That's what stuck with me.

She said, "you poor thing."

But she didn't give
a shit about me.

And did you know what you saw?

No, I just knew
something was wrong.

And you didn't tell your father.

She told me not to.

And you trusted her.

I did.

Harvey, I never thought I'd be
saying this to you, but I'm proud.

It took an amazing amount of
courage to tell me that.

We're not gonna hug,
are we? No, we're not.

But it does feel good
to end a session

on a positive note for once.

The Peterson case, huh?

I remember when I used to
handle that asshole.

That's funny. I don't remember
inviting you into my office.

Oh yeah, that's right.

It must be because it's
something that I would never do.

Listen, Mike, I know I pulled
some shit with you and Louis,

but I'm here to make things
right with you. Not interested.

Just hear me out.

What the hell is this?

A case that's tailor-made for
someone with a hedge fund background.

New York teacher's
pension fund just lost

30% of their annual income.

They put half their portfolio
in derivatives without hedging?

Not just derivatives.
Derivatives created and

marketed by straussbank to
increase their own revenue.

Sorry, Jack, I don't work with
people that I don't trust.

And I don't trust somebody
who comes to me saying

they're trying to make things
right without a good reason.

You want the reason?
Jessica told me to.

Yeah, well, she didn't tell me.

And until she does, you
can get out of my office.

The Simon brief is on your desk,

and I moved your Wednesday
noon meeting to 5:00.

Why did you do that?

Because Anthony kimball's more
honest with a drink in him.

And on top of that, I wouldn't
want you to have to work

too hard on your birthday.

What? It's not my birthday.

Oh, come on. You can tell me.

What is it, 48? 49?

The big 6-0?

A, I'm not the one pushing 60.

You better not be talking to me.

B, if itwere, I'd be
drinking with someone a lot

prettier than Anthony kimball.

Then why is Wednesday
night permanently

blocked out on your calendar?

Donna. Harvey.

You look busy.

I look busy because I am busy.

Too busy to join me at
del posto on Wednesday night?

Harvey, we don't need
to do that anymore.

Then why did you leave it
permanently blocked off on my calendar?

Because I did that
a long time ago,

and when I left your
desk, I forgot to undo it.

Then why don't we pretend that
you forgot to undo it on purpose?

I don't work for you anymore.
What would we be celebrating?

Instead of celebrating the
day you came to my desk,

how about we celebrate

two weeks of being
on decent terms?

It's only been a
week and a half.

Seriously, Donna.

I don't just want to
be on decent terms.

I want to get back
to being friends.

That's really nice, Harvey.

See you Wednesday night.

Thanks.

Jessica!

What a pleasant surprise.

I think we both know
that it isn't.

Pleasant, or asurpnse? Either.

Because we also both
know that Jack soloff

came to see you before I did.

Is there a problem
with that? There is,

ifyou're colluding
with one of my partners

to take over my firm.

Jack came to me

asking for advice about
how to land a new client.

He was so determined,

I was suddenly reminded
of Harvey's first client.

Mckernon motors.

The client he cared
so much about,

he gave up a promotion
just to keep his word.

It's hard to forget
a move like that.

It's also hard to
forget your history

of worming your way
back into my firm.

So, if you're looking for
someone to mentor, Daniel,

go find yourself an
after-school program.

But stay the hell
out of my house.

Jessica, I have no interest
in your shitty firm.

And I don't have to enter
your house to damage it.

You did that all by yourself

the second you let
Fletcher engines go.

Jack tell you that?

Fletcher engines
told everyone that.

And you told your entire firm

that you care more about Harvey
specter than you do about them.

Now, ifyou'ii excuse me, I
have a meeting in my new office.

It's so nice to be
back in the city.

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

Clean out your things

and get the hell out
of my firm. What?

You know, I gave you one
last chance to play nice

and you blew it.

How did I blow it?

Oh, you're going to
deny that you've been

spreading word around the office

that I told you to drop
Fletcher engines?

Yes. I'm gonna deny it,
because I didn't do it.

Then how the hell
does everybody know?

Because I told them
when I signed Fletcher.

Which iwouldn't have
done if I'd known

you were gonna drop them.

Because it made me
look like shit.

Well, it didn't make me come
out smelling like a Rose either.

And your mentor seems
to have known that.

He's not my mentor.

I went to him for advice

and all it got me was
almost getting fired.

But you said you'd give
me one more chance.

And I've been trying to take it.

Give me one good
example of that.

I approached Mike Ross to
work with me this morning.

And by the way,
he spat in my face.

Jessica,

you made your point
and I heard you.

If you're just gonna
fire me anyway

why give me the chance
in the first place?

A joke?

Uh, do you hear me laughing?

10% is 11%
more than you deserve.

I'll... what the hell?

This better be important.

I was just about
to close a deal.

I just heard a rumor
that Jack soloff

signed Fletcher engines.

That's ridiculous. Everyone
knows we can't sign Fletcher

if we represent mckernon.

I'll tell you what
everyone knows, Louis.

Jack signed Fletcher.

Jessica forced him to drop them.

And the only reason Jack
would have done that

in the first place is if you
were fired by mckernon.

Harvey, I can explain.

Goddamn it, I knew it.

Just wait a minute.
Harvey, listen to me.

Jack set us up.

He acted as if he
was cooperating

when all along he was
looking to blow up the deal.

Why the he” didn't you come
to me when it happened?

Because we wanted to
fix it ourselves.

Wanting to fix it yourself
is the cause of every problem

you and I have ever had.

And now you're teaching
that bullshit to Mike?

You know what? Mike and
I worked on that deal

together and we kicked ass.

I'm happy, Mike's happy,
Dominic's happy.

And I'll tell you why.

Because I'm a damn good
attorney and you know it.

So, if that's the only
thing you came in here for,

I would like to
close my deal now.

Mr. Specter,
Esther littjust called.

She has an urgent matter,
needs to see you right away.

Did she say what it was about?

Just not to tell her brother.

Oh, so this is where the
little people get their caffeine.

I'm guessing you're not here
to have a breakfast bar.

I've never had a
breakfast bar in my life.

I wanna thank you for
taking on that pension case

with Jack soloff.

I didn't take on the pension
case with Jack soloff.

Yes, you did. Jessica, no.

You can't make me
work with that man.

Oh, I can make you work with the
goddamn window washers if I want to.

And if you don't do this,

you might find yourself dangling
50 stories above the ground.

Because I asked Jack
to make peace.

And you're the one he
chose to reach out to.

So you're the one to do this.

I guess I meant, why
don't you just fire him?

If I fired every
ambitious attorney

that ever took me on,

there'd be nobody left here
but me and Harold gunderson.

Wait a second. You know who
Harold gunderson is?

I know who everybody is.

And before you say
one more word,

if I ever start handing out
pink slips for troublemakers...

You'd be the first in line.

Right.

I came here as soon as
I got your message.

I don't do that for most people.

So much for hard to get.

I think we're past that.

Did Jeffrey get greedy again?

No. A man named Kenneth Jackson

is claiming my nut-free muffins

put him in anaphylactic shock.

What happened? Too much gluten?

Not enough gluten?

Harvey, this isn't funny.

This is my company, and

my entire brand is
based on quality.

I'm sorry.
I'll take it seriously.

Thank you. Don't thank me.

Thank Louis, because he's
gonna handle this case.

What? This is a business matter,

not personal. And I'm not
stealing Louis' client.

You're not stealing me.

You already handled my divorce.

Are you gonna tell me that
Louis is a better lawyer than you?

No, I'm gonna tell you that
he's a damn good lawyer,

and he'd do anything
to protect you.

That's not the point.

I need this to go away quietly.

And Louis doesn't do
anything quietly.

Then tell him that.
He never listens to me.

Then get him to listen or
get another law firm.

Because I'm not
taking this case.

Harvey, I don't need
another firm.

I need you.

You know what I think?

I think you wanna go
out with me again

and you came to me with this

because you were
afraid to say it to me.

I don't believe you!

You think I concocted a
lawsuit against my own company

just to tell a man I've already
been with that I like him?

Sure looks that way.

Inthatcase, I guess I do have
the wrong man for the job.

Thank you for taking the time.

Please let him know I'm here.

Esther.

What are you doing here?

I thought I was very
clear yesterday.

I'm not taking yourcase.
You were clear.

I'm here to see Louis.

But it's nice to see your
ego is as strong as ever.

I'm sorry.

And I didn't mean to be
such a dick yesterday.

It's okay, Harvey.

I know what you did.

You accused me of what
you accused me of

so I would go to Louis.

So, you're not mad at me?

It was actually sweet,

in a dick-ish sort of way.

That's my specialty.

Thanks, Harvey.

Hi, Esther, I'm Donna paulsen.

I'm Louis'...
I know who you are.

You're the best thing that's
ever happened to my brother.

Oh. Well, you don't
know the half of it.

Anyway, I hope I didn't put you to
too much trouble on short notice.

Oh, nonsense.

Louis was thrilled when he
heard you were coming in.

What was so goddamn important
that I had to cancel my entire morning?

I swear, he was happy to do it.

And you and I are
having lunch the second

whatever it is you're
here for is over.

You want a sip?
Is that a prunie?

No. I can't believe you
still drink that crap.

You know I've got grandma
gertie's spastic colon.

What the hell are
you doing here?

I'm being sued.

Holy shit.

Your shitty muffins really
did give someone salmonella.

It's not salmonella.

And Louis, this is
serious. It's my company.

All right, I'm sorry.

Well, does he have a leg
to stand on? Of course not.

I do an audit of every supplier
every three months. Are you sure?

Because ifwe're gonna go after
him with everything we've got...

Louis, we're not going
after him at all.

I want to settle this
quickly and quietly.

Esther.

You settle, you look guilty.

This is a shakedown,
pure and simple.

I know that, but I don't care.

This is a business decision.

And that's why I'm trying to stop
others from doing the same thing.

I'm telling you, I
know what I'm doing.

I didn't say you don't. No,
you'rejust telling me how to do my job.

Louis, I came to you
because you're my brother.

And I am telling you,
this is what I need.

All right, we'll settle.

Thank you, Louis.

No, thank you.

For what? For not
going to Harvey.

Once he handled your divorce,

I would have thought you'd
want him to handle everything.

Harvey. Make
yourself comfortable.

Canlgetyou ainunosa? No, thanks.

I just stopped by to
eat my morning bagel

and ask why Jack soloff

tried to sign Fletcher
engines and you didn't tell me.

I didn't tell you because
I was busy fixing it.

And did fixing it
involve figuring out

that he went to Daniel hardman?

As a matter of fact, it did.

You saw hardman.

I did. And it didn't take long

because he's back in New York.

Let me guess, he said he had
nothing to do with any of this.

Yep. He said he was just
giving Jack some helpful advice.

Well, I think it's time we gave
Jack some helpful advice of our own,

like, "get your ass
another job."

Now, Harvey, I met with Jack.

He says he's done
confiding in hardman.

And I've decided to
consider the matter closed.

You're telling me you
trust that clown?

Now, I may look damn
good for my age,

but I wasn't born yesterday.

You want to know how deep it goes
with him and hardman, don't you?

I sure as hell do.

Which is why I asked Mike to
work with Jack and play nice,

and you better not
get in the way.

This doesn't look like a

"forgive me for being
a dick" card. It's not.

It's a 28-page interrogatory
for straussbank.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

You told me you don't work
with people you don't trust.

Neither do I. You don't have
to trust me to understand

that the shady shit at
straussbank starts at the top.

All the way to the top?

There's a 50-50 chance
that the ceo knows.

The cfo had to know.

All we have to do is get
their emails. That's easy.

We agree not to pursue
criminal charges,

they'll hand emails
over right now.

We can't give up the
threat of going to prison.

That's what gives us leverage.
We have to go to court.

Going to court
will take forever.

I just went through this same
thing with Robert Zane. Okay?

Why don't you pick up the phone
and ask him who turned out to be right?

You know, I heard
you were cocky.

But I had no idea.

You're the one who came to
me looking to make peace.

You wanna make peace or not?

All right, we'll
try it your way.

Rachel, what can I do for you?

I heard about Esther.

And I was hoping I could help.

I appreciate the
offer, but I'm gonna

take care of this one myself.

And I'm not trying to interfere,

I just thought itwould be
nice to learn from the most

talented, diligent, and respected
partner that we have here.

Yeah, you're just trying to
butter me up. Is it working?

Handsome.

Listen to me.

She's my sister.
She's being sued.

Last time she had a
problem, she went to Harvey.

But this time,
she's coming to me.

And I'm not gonna
farm any of it out.

Can you understand that?

The reason I want on this case is
that I admire Esther and her company.

And if someone's coming at her
with a frivolous lawsuit, then

I don't care how little I do.

I just wanna help you.

Paperwork's right here.

Jack: Your honor,
as you can see,

there's been clear
negligence at best,

deliberate deception at worst...

Mike: Not to mention
a breach of fiduciary duty.

I'm inclined to agree.

Your honor, the only thing
that's clear is his clients

chose a risky investment.

That's not deception
on our part.

The deception is he
created those derivatives,

he knew how risky they were,

and he sold them to us anyway.

I have $2 billion
in investment funds.

You think I review
every investment?

I don't know, but you sure
as hell reviewed this one.

And where's your proof?
We don't have any. Yet.

Which is why we're requesting
access to these emails.

This isn't about getting
their emails.

This is about determining
if trial's moving forward.

And it is.

I'll set the email discovery
hearing for three weeks.

Three weeks? Uh, your honor,
my wife has surgery in three weeks.

I'd like to request an
additional month.

Bullshit, she has surgery.

Scheduled c-section at
Columbia presbyterian.

Then put someone else
on the case.

That's not how it works.

If I may... if we agree

not to pursue criminal
charges in this matter,

will you give us the
emails within the week?

You agree to that right here,

I'll give 'em to you tomorrow.

Then we have a deal.

You wanna tell me what kind
of kickback you're getting?

Excuse me?

You went behind my back.

I didn't do anything
behind your back.

I did it in front of your
face. You know what I mean.

You gave up our leverage by
handing him a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Which means you're either in
their pocket or you're using

this case so that you can
sign them once it's over.

What did you just say
to me? You heard me.

You shook that guy's hand like
you were his goddamn cousin.

You listen to me.

If they wanted to be my
client, I'd take them.

But I didn't do that
to kiss his ass,

I did it to get what we needed.

We already had what we needed.

No, we didn't. We had a
hearing on it in seven weeks.

And that c-section bullshit
was just the tip of the iceberg.

Between now and then,
they'd have figured out a way

to put it off for
another two years.

You don't know that. Yes, I do.

I said I would try it your way

and it didn't work.

Well, now those
emails are coming.

Are you gonna help me or not?

Louis, I need to talk you.
We have a problem.

What's wrong?

What's wrong is
Kenneth Jackson's lawyer.

Her name is lisbeth wexler,

and this isn't her
first frivolous suit.

Well, it never is
with these people.

That doesn't mean
we can't settle.

Okay, you don't understand.

I went through
dozens of her cases.

Every time she gets an offer,

she threatens to
go public with it.

Shit. What?

That's exactly what
I was afraid of.

Okay, well, then you know it's
not a big deal. We can handle it.

But we can't give them an offer.

No, you don't understand.
I tried to tell Esther this

might happen, but then she
made me promise that I would

make this thing go away
without any trouble.

Okay. Well, if we don't do
something other than settle,

she's in for a hell
of a lot more trouble.

Harvey: He didn't
really say that.

Oh, not only did he say it,

but I had to transcribe
it word for word

off his dictaphone.

What?

I just realized I
haven't thought about

Jack soloff and his
bullshit for two hours.

I'm glad we did this, Harvey.

Me too. We should
do it more often.

Well, I'm not sure how
Mitchell would feel about that.

Who's Mitchell?

He's the man that I've been
seeing for the last six weeks.

He's...

He's smart and he's funny. And

best of all, he has nothing
to do with the practice of law.

I'm happy for you, Donna.

Thanks.

And the reason I told you is

so that you'll know that
I'm notjealous when I say

you need to tell Louis you've
been sleeping with Esther.

What? Oh, please.

It took me all of two seconds
to put it together after I saw

you two mooning over
each other this morning.

It's not what you think.

We bonded together during
her divorce proceedings.

Harvey, you said you
wanted to be friends.

This is me being your friend.

Friends don't accuse
each other of things.

I'm not accusing you,
I'm looking out for you.

How is that looking out for me?

Because like I said,
you need to tell him.

Well, you know what?
I don't need to do that.

Because for once,
your radar is off.

We haven't been
sleeping together.

We slept together one time.

What difference does that make?

You promised him
you wouldn't do it at all.

Donna, Louis isn't
rational on his best days

with issues that
don't involve his sister.

Now, how is he gonna take
it if I do what you're asking?

And how do you think he's
gonna react when he finds out

you kept this from him?
He's not gonna find out.

Yes, he is.

Because I didn't have to be me to see
the way you two looked at each other.

And someday, Louis is
gonna see that, too.

Donna, I appreciate you
telling me this, as a friend.

Now, as a friend,
I'm telling you

to mind your own business.

I was right.

You cut them some side deal.

What the hell are
you talking about?

I went through all their
emails and I found nothing

tying them to anything.

Which means you knew they
would leave some emails out

and you let it go to get
something out of it.

I didn't know they would
leave anything out,

but I thought they might.

And I am gonna get something
out of it, but it's not what you think.

What are you talking about?

Your idea of threatening
prison was right.

But nobody ever went to jail
for selling shitty securities.

They go to jail for
destroying evidence.

So, instead of proving to some
jury that doesn't understand

securities law that these guys
knew the risks of their investments...

All we have to do is prove
they deleted some emails.

I'm sorry.

Take a seat.

You know, that's the
second time in two days

that you jumped right to
me being the bad guy.

Well, you have to admit,
my experience with how you

treated me and Louis was
you being the bad guy.

Fair enough.

But were you there when
Louis lied to my face

about backing me in a meeting?

When he told Jessica that
I did something awful

that he, in fact, did?

No, iwasn't.

But you do know him,
and what he's capable of.

And you're somehow on
good terms with him.

I'm on good terms with him
because I've seen other sides of him.

Well, I have other sides, too.

I may have done some
office backstabbing,

but I have never
done anything to indicate

to you that I would
do something illegal.

Which is what you came
in here accusing me of.

Okay, Jack.

You can have a chance to show
me another side of yourself, too.

I told you to settle this thing.

And I'm trying to.

Then why did I just get a
notice that the fda

is investigating my company?

What?

What did you do?

I was gonna settle, but
then Rachel found out

their lawyer has a history
of blackmailing companies.

So our only option
was to counter-sue.

You filed a counter-suit
against my explicit instructions?

You know what, Esther?
You came to me for help.

I don't tell you
how to bake your muffins.

Because you don't know the
first thing about my business.

And you don't know the
fustflflngaboutnflne I don't have to.

I know you.

And you've got a chip on your
shoulder the size of Montana.

And when it comes out, you
make everything worse.

You know what, Esther?
I was right to do what I did!

And for once, I'm not gonna let
you treat me like I'm less than you.

Less than me?

Yes, less than you.

I'm always your buffoon brother.

Well, not this time.

You had no right to do
this without asking me.

I didn't ask you because
you wouldn't have listened.

No, you never listen,

which is why I wanted to
go to Harvey in the first place!

What? You heard me.

How could you betray
me like that?

I wasn't betraying you.

I was looking out for myself.

If you were looking
out for yourself,

then why did you lie
to me about going to him?

Because you're always jealous

whenever I ask anyone
else to do anything.

You're my brother, Louis,
not my boyfriend.

If you wanted Harvey so much,
why don't you go to him right now?

I can't.

Because when I went to him,

he told me I should trust you.

He really said that?
He didn't just say that.

He said you were a
damn good lawyer.

I am a damn good lawyer.

But I should have told you.

Well,

what are we gonna do now?

Depends.

If you think you
can trust me or not.

I can.

Morning, Louis. Good morning.

Where the hell were you?
I texted you, like, 18 times.

Yes. And if it had
been an emergency,

I would have called you
back. It was an emergency.

Louis, running out of
paperclips is not an emergency.

I know. It's just
that I needed you

and I couldn't reach you and
that's never happened before.

I was having dinner with Harvey.

Harvey. Yes.

We're trying to stay friends.

Friends. Yes, friends.

I'm not going
back to him, Louis.

What? I know that.

How'd it go?

It was fine.

He didn't happen to
bring up Esther, did he?

What? Why would he do that?

Because apparently, she went
to him before she came to me.

Well, he did handle her divorce.

I know. It's just...

You don't think
it's possible that

anything happened
between them, do you?

I don't know, Louis. I mean...

Look, I do know that we talked
about a lot of things last night,

and Esther wasn't one of them.

You're right.

Harvey would never make a promise
like that to me and then break it.

I'm glad you had a
nice dinner, though.

What the hell is this?

It's the stack of
emails they left out.

How did you get them?

It doesn't matter how I got
them, it matters that I got them.

It does matter. Becauseifyou
got them illegally,

we can't use them
and you know it.

I didn't get them illegally.

Then why won't you tell me
where you got them?

Because there are some things
I like to keep to myself.

And didn't you give me a
speech about getting to know

different sides of you?

Well, this is a
different side of me.

Are you gonna trust it or not?

Gentlemen. So glad you could
see us on such short notice.

Well, you scratched our backs,

I think we can scratch yours.

What kind of settlement
are you looking for?

We're not looking
for a settlement.

We're looking for you
to give up your ceo.

What? He's not giving anyone up.

You waived your rights to
criminal charges in this matter.

We're not talking about this matter, we're
talking about conspiracy to hide evidence.

That's 200 emails
from your analysts

laughing about the suckers
that you all ripped off.

Shit.

Relax, there's no way
he got those legally.

You're right, we didn't. What?

Goddamn it, you told me...

I know what I told you, Jack.

But you wouldn't have let me
come here if I told you the truth.

And the truth

is that we also
got this one illegally.

That's your ceo

saying that if push comes to shove,
he's gonna throw you under the bus.

Now, do you really wanna
take the chance that we won't

figure out a way to find
these others legally?

You've got 200 people
in your firm.

We're gonna offer every
single one of them immunity

to admit they exist.

And when they do, either
your ceo is going down...

Or you are.

Lisbeth: Glad you came to
your senses and called us to settle.

Well, clearly, Mr. Jackson has
suffered great physical harm.

I just don't want anyone
else to be hurt.

Yeah, that would be a shame.

Then who would you have to sue?

Excuserne? Shdown!

Now, we're here because my
sister wanted to give you

$50,000 to
make this thing go away.

But I didn't listen to her, so
I'm gonna throw in an extra

$50,000 of my own.

It doesn't matter.
Because if you think that

we're gonna settle for $100,000,

you're wasting our time.

$100,000 isn't to settle this.

It's to have your client
admit that you approached him

after he had a public episode

and then instructed him to
say that it was within

five minutes of eating
one of our muffins.

You have no proof of that.
Louis: No, we don't.

But he's on record for
making a false statement

to a federal agency,

which means when we
do have proof,

you're gonna be in prison
for a very, very long time.

$100,000? Kenneth,

you'll get 20 times that
when we win.

Maybe this will help
you decide, Kenneth.

What's that?

It's a list of all of the other
people you've done this with.

Oh, did you think you
were her first? What?

You were not.

Whoever rolls over first
gets the money.

Then the rest get to line
up for orange jumpsuits.

That's enough. We're leaving.

What do I have to do?

Esther, what are you doing here?

I came to give you this.

It's a $100,000 check.

It's for Kenneth Jackson.

We're splitting this.
No, we're not.

You were right. Inever

should have tried to settle
with them in the first place.

You saved me more than that.

I don't know what to say.

Say you'll forgive me?

I don't think you're a
buffoon, Louis,

and I never have.

But I didn't realize

how good a lawyer you were

until I saw it myself.

I appreciate that.

But I know how hard you worked
to make your business happen.

And I know what you gave up.

And there wasn't a snowball's
chance in hell that I was

gonna let someone take
advantage of you.

Thanks, lous. Thank you.

Hey...

Do you want to
get dinner tonight?

I can't tonight.
How about tomorrow night?

Tomorrow night is perfect.

What do you say we
also invite Donna?

That would be really nice.

You come by just to tell me
how impressive I was today?

I came by to ask you why
you still don't trust me.

Who says I don't trust you?

You didn't tell me that
evidence was obtained illegally.

Jack, I told you the truth.

Those emails weren't
obtained illegally

becausethey weren't even real.

What?

Look. I know how traders talk.

I know exactly
what they'd say. So,

I just wrote them myself.

Are you shitting me?

Take a look.

I lied to you because to get
them to believe they were illegal,

I had to get them to
believe they were real.

And you needed me to be
pissed to help you do that.

Told you to trust me.

You know what?

I do.

So, I'll tell you the truth.

When we started this thing, I
was just doing it to kiss your ass

so Jessica would forgive me.

But...

You're the real deal.

I see what Harvey sees in you.

Thanks, Jack.

Maybe now you can give Harvey
a second chance, too.

It's just, everything
comes so easy to him.

Jessica plucks him
from the mailroom,

youngest senior partner ever.

Well, I've been busting my
ass for 20 years

and nobody ever does
anything like that for me.

Well, I'll tell you
something, Jack.

He's got his own problems
just like everyone else.

And if you wanna
get along with me...

You better figure out
a way to get along with him.

Gretchen, where are we at
with the cabrillo claim?

I have to go. I'm not Gretchen

and that's too bad for you, because she's
still in the habit of covering for you.

Covering for me for what?

I told you Louis was gonna
find out about Esther.

And I told you it's
none of your business.

Well, it became my business

when Louis asked me
about it yesterday.

And I had to lie to his face
just to get him to leave it alone.

I didn't ask you to do that.

Yes, you did, and you know it.

Donna, I don't have time for
this. I have an appointment...

What appointment?

I checked with Gretchen so you couldn't
get out of this with some made-up thing.

Your calendar's empty.
You know what, Donna?

One thing I learned the hard way

is not to tell your
secretary everything.

Well, be careful, Harvey.

Because you're about
to learn the hard way

that I might have lied to
Louis about this once,

but I am never, never
gonna do it again.

Harvey?

Harvey, where have you been
for the last 40 minutes?

What are you talking about?

I mean, you scheduled a session
so that we could explore your mother.

And you've been telling me
some meaningless story about

when you got stung by a bee.

I got in a fight with Donna.

A fight about what?

She wants me to tell Louis
that I slept with his sister.

And why exactly does she
want you to do that?

Because I promised
Louis I wouldn't,

and she thinks he's
gonna find out.

Why would you make a
promise like that to Louis

if you had no
intention of keeping it?

I had every intention
of keeping it.

It's Louis' sister.

But then I met her, and...

Ithappened.

Well, why don't
you just tell him that?

Because he's like a 4-year-old.

And on top of that,
he doesn't own her.

She's his sister.

But this isn't about his
relationship with his sister.

It's about his
relationship with you.

You made him a promise.

Yeah. And as long as
he doesn't find out

I broke it, it doesn't matter.

And in light of the story
you told me the other day,

that's probably what someone
you know very well said to herself.

Are you shitting me?

You're comparing me to
her? I most certainly am.

Right down to you putting Donna
in a position not to say anything.

Donna is not an 8-year-old boy.

And I'm not cheating on my wife.

No, but you're putting two
people you care about

in positions to feel betrayed.

Betrayed? Yes.

Like when someone has an
affair with someone else.

Okay. You don't get
to say that to me.

It's my job to say
things like that to you.

Then you don't know what
you're talking about,

because I have lived
my whole life

not to be her.

And when people do that,
they very often become

that very thing in
a different way.

Well, I'm not goddamn her!

Well, then, you'd better
take a look in the mirror.

Because you made a promise,

snuck behind someone's
back to break it,

and when confronted with that
fact, you're denying all responsibility.

That sounds like
an affair to me.

Mike: You wanted to see me?

Do you how hard I worked to
get a view like this?

Full scholarship to vassar.

Three years Harvard law.

And one year as the
first black woman

to clerk in the third circuit.

And I'm not going to
waste all that hard work

just to let someone
take everything away.

Jessica, as far as I can tell,

Jack soloff is holding up
his end of the bargain.

He's doing more than that.

He just sent out an email
nominating you forjunior partner.

And you're gonna figure
out a way to turn it down.

Go ahead, take a minute. What?

Congratulations,
you've earned it.

You are the best associate
I have ever seen.

Now, these are your options.

Medical issues,
family emergency,

you're just not ready.

Whatever it is, you simply

cannot accept a junior
partnership at this time.

Jessica, no one
turns down partner.

Well, they do now.

Because I'm not sending
out a press release

announcing Mike Ross of
Harvard just got promoted.

Then don't send one out.
You're not hearing me.

No, you're not hearing me.

What do you think is gonna
happen when word gets out

that I was offered the one thing

that every associate dreams
of and I turned it down?

Nothing's going to happen.

Because you're going
to put your mind

to finding a good reason
with as much enthusiasm

as you did bullshitting your
way into this job in the first place.

What is this?
You know what it is.

A portfolio of business

I want you to take to
Pearson specter for me.

I'm not doing it.

This is an opportunity
for you, Jack.

No, Daniel, it's an
opportunity for you,

and I'm not interested
in carrying your water.

Am I mistaken or did we
not have this discussion?

We discussed it once.

I remember. Itwas during
that same conversation

we had when you
came to me for advice

on the best way to stab
Harvey in the back.

Uh, I get it.

You did me a favor,
but I'm finished.

I don't want your advice or
your shortcuts anymore.

Because all it did was
almost get me fired.

So, please, just take this.

Well, you've always
been a grinder, Jack.

What's that supposed to mean?

Iadmire it.

But you're not just a grinder,

you have a chip
on your shoulder.

And the thing I've
noticed about people with

chips on their shoulder

is that somewhere along the way,

they went to great
lengths to get 'em off.

I got the chip off my shoulder.

I got Jessica's respect.

She doesn't respect you.

And that's not the
chip I'm talking about.

Don't call me again.

Esther, what are you doing here?

I'm actually going out to
dinner with Louis and Donna.

Well, thanks for the invitation,
but that's the last thing

in the world I want
to do right now.

That's not why I'm here.

I was thinking about

what you said about why
I called you first.

And then, about how
you handled it.

And I thought

maybe you might want to
take me out this weekend.

Esther, what do you think's
going on between us?

I don't know, I just...
You don't know?

Well, I'll tell you.

We had a moment. It was nice.

But I'm not interested
in sneaking around.

Who said anything about
sneaking around?

I did. And you just
got divorced,

and you're a mother of two,

and I'm not gonna
be the reason that...

That what?

That nothing.

Why don't you just go
out to your dinner?

Harvey, tell me what's going on.

What's going on is, you
asked me out and I said no.

So, please, just leave me alone.

Harvey... I said leave me alone.

Did you make the
reservation at sarabeth's?

For the seventh time, yes.

And why was it so important
that it be there anyway?

Because their muffins are 10
times better than Esther's

and I just want her to know it.

I thought you two made progress.

Well, she's still my sister.

And I can't let her think that
she's the best at something.

Okay. Hey.

Wait, what's wrong?
You look upset.

Nothing's wrong. I, I'm
just not feeling very well.

It looks like tonight's not
a good night after all.

No, no, no, no. You're upset.

It's not that, Louis.
I just don't feel well.

Please, let's just reschedule.

I'm gonnajust call
the restaurant and...

Wait a second, wait a
second, wait a second.

She came all the way
down here just to cancel?

I don't know, Louis. I mean, maybe she
was already on her way over here and...

Did she just come
from Harvey's office?

Because that's the direction
she came from, not the elevators.

I don't know, Louis.
What do you want me to say?

"I don't know"

is exactly what you said
when I asked you if you thought

there was anything going on
between Harvey and Esther.

And now, you're saying it again.

But you're Donna
and you know everything.

I'm sorry, Louis. I do know.

What are you gonna do?
None of your business.

Stay out of it.
You've done enough.

Yes, you know,
and he stormed away...

You and I are gonna
have a talk right now.

Okay. Whatever it is,
it can wait.

I need to tell you something.

Does it have something to do
with why my sister

just left here too upset to
go out to dinner?

You piece of shit. I knew it.

What did you do to her now?

I didn't do
anything to her, Louis.

And when I say now,

I mean as opposed to before
when you slept with her!

That's right.

Donna, the one you tried to
steal from me at dinner

the other night,
told me. Calm down.

I didn't try to steal anyone.
You made a promise to me!

And even after I told you

aboutwhen Esther and iwere
kids and the boys used me

to get to her, you still went
ahead and betrayed me.

Louis, it had already happened.

And I was just now
about to tell you.

Bullshit. You were never
gonna tell me.

You were gonna keep it to
yourself to the day you die.

Louis, you have to believe me.

I swear I was just
about to tell you.

What you're about to do
is get your ass kicked!

All right, watch yourself.

Don't threaten something
you can't handle.

You don't think I
can handle you?

You also thought I was
too stupid to find out.

But I did find out.

I found out that you're
nothing but a lying, cheating...

I didn't cheat with Esther.

It was two grown people making a
goddamn decision for themselves.

Well, that decision ended with
her walking out of here

near tears because she
didn't have all the facts.

Like the fact that you're
a serial womanizer

who can't stand when
anyone else has...

Shut the hell up!

So, he takes
whatever woman's in sight.

I'm telling you...
Because he's so messed up

from whatever goddamn thing

happened to him in his
pathetic childhood that...

Shut the hell up!

He can't...

Harvey.

Get away from me.

You get the hell out of here.

But they told you, convinced
you that I'd play...
