I'm offering you a deal.
One for you, one for me.

You are not getting
my office. Oh, yes, I am.

Because she's gone, Harvey.

It's time for you
to take the reins.

I'm here to ask you out.

As of this morning,
I'm the head of my firm.

And when I thought of
sharing that with someone,

ithoughtofyou.

One dinner.

I figured out what I want, and I
want to be a partner at this firm.

All I'm asking
is for a seat at the table.

I'll have to ask Louis about it.

You're afraid to take
responsibility for this firm

and you won't
admit it to yourself.

You told me that
you are now head of the firm.

I am. I just
haven't told Louis yet.

I think this may
have been a mistake.

You don't think
I've had fantasies

that one day you'd take me
in your arms and kiss me?

Those fantasies weren't of a man

who's still too afraid to take
control of a firm that bears his name.

I'm not giving up my
associates! That's enough.

Donna asked for a seat at
the table, and I gave her one.

You don't make her
goddamn senior partner.

If Jessica were here, she'd tell
you to do the same exact thing.

Harvey: Jessica isn't here.

But I am.

I think I know
what you may need.

If you're telling me
that I need to talk to Tara...

You were going to get married.

That can't all end
over a voicemail.

I know we haven't spoken.

I just really need
to see you tonight.

Oh, wow.

The sunrise is beautiful
from up here.

To be honest,

I can't remember the
last time I saw the sunrise.

Really?

It takes something pretty special
to get me up before 7:00 am.

As I recall, I was
pretty special last night.

There.

You surprised me again.

You know, the truth is, I'm a
little surprised by all this myself.

What do you mean?

I mean, you disappear
for nearly a year,

and then one day, you
suddenly show up in a '57 Chevy.

'72 Ferrari.

But, yeah.

And you sweep me off my feet.

And I liked it.

That's good. Because I
wasn't sure you would.

Of course, you weren't.
You don't really know me yet.

Until yesterday, we'd spent
about 50 hours together,

and we'd spent most of them
talking about you.

I know. And that's what I
love about our relationship.

Harvey. Paula.

Before you say what I think
you're going to say, let me say...

You may know me
better than anyone.

And now, I'd like
to get to know you, too.

I'd like that.

Louis: I guess what I'm trying
to say is, I acted irrationally.

But, please, Tara, if you could
just give me another chance.

I promise you that I will
never let you down again.

You know you can't
say that, Louis.

Wait, I'm sorry. What?
This is my role play.

I can say
whatever the hell I want.

And we've talked about you

making bold proclamations
about your own behavior.

What does that
have to do with this?

You just promised to
never let Tara down again.

That is unrealistic.

What happens when you
inevitably break that promise?

I'll apologize and promise
I'll never do it again.

And you don't see a problem
with that pattern?

What I see, Dr. Lipschitz, is
we're 46 minutes into this session

and I haven't gotten
closure yet.

Louis, we spent seven years

on the fact that your mother made
you wear Esther's hand-me-ups.

You are not getting closure
in 50 minutes.

Well, then, what the
hell am I paying you for?

Okay, Louis.

What's really going on here?

It's not about Tara.

It's about the baby.

I'm just worried
I'll never be a father.

I think that's a good place
for us to pick up next week.

What the... Louis, calm down.

No. I just told
you my deepest fear

is that my clock is running out

and all you care about
is your precious time?

Has it ever occurred to you

that you don't have a clock and can
have children whenever you want?

Well, that sounds
like a load of crap

coming from a guy
who's looking at his clock.

What about your idol,
Tony Randall?

Oh, my god.

Tony Randall fathered
his first child at 77.

Doc, this is fantastic.

So, you're good till next week.

What are you, nuts?
I'm teetering.

Clear up tomorrow,
all afternoon.

I was at work.

It was the kids'
daycare calling.

Shannon never showed up.

And then what happened?

Then the police called.

My world ended.

And one month later, I got a
letter from the insurance company

saying Shannon lied
on her application.

About what?

They're claiming
she was a smoker.

Was she?

She quit five years ago. And
she was totally upfront about it.

So, then, why would they think
she lied on her application?

Because of this.

It's a picture of Shannon
at her cousin's wedding.

They sent it to me
along with her denied claim.

Please tell me this picture
is over five years old.

It was taken eight months ago.

They must have gone
into her Facebook page.

Shit.

It was one cigarette,
and I gave her hell for it.

It doesn't matter
if it was one or 100.

It's enough for them to claim
her policy is null and void.

My wife died
in a car accident, Mr. Ross.

She was a healthy
39-year-old woman.

She died rushing from herjob
to pick up our children.

What the hell does any of this
have to do with smoking?

It shouldn't have
anything to do with it.

But this company is not in
the business of helping people.

It's in the business
of making money.

So, if they can find any reason

not to honor a claim,
they'll take it.

Without that insurance money,
we're going to lose our home.

Please.

My children have lost enough.

I'll find a way.

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

Hey.

I didn't know anybody was
moving in here. It looks great.

Well, as it turns out,

we're getting ourselves
a new partner

and they needed
a new office. So...

New partner?

That's fantastic.
Shows we're back on our feet.

What firm are they from?
This one.

I don't understand.

That's because it hasn't been
announced yet,

but you are looking
at the newest

senior partner
at Pearson specter litt.

Wow.

Congratulations, Donna.
You must be thrilled.

I am.

And I know what you're thinking.

How can a secretary
be made a partner?

But I...
I wasn't thinking that, Donna.

I know how hard you work

and how much you mean
to this firm and everyone in it.

Thanks, Katrina. You're welcome.

If iletyou get back to work.

All I'm saying is,
I think you're rushing it.

And I'm saying that when
you overthrow a dictator,

you don't leave
their statue up in the square.

You tear it the hell down.

You don't think
that this sends a message

that you have
something to prove?

Harvey, do you remember
Arthur Reeves?

You mean the guy
who played Superman?

That was George Reeves.

Arthur Reeves founded this firm.

And when Gordon, schmidt
and Van dyke ran him out of town,

they didn't just tear
his name off the wall.

They called his biggest client

and told them to pack up
their shit and find another firm.

What's your point?

My point is,
they wanted the world to know

there was a new sheriff in town.

And the message that sends isn't
that you have something to prove,

it's that you're in charge.

And you're staying that way.

I hope you don't mind. I
took the Liberty of hanging that.

Let me guess.

It's your last official act
as my secretary.

I told you once before

I wouldn't leave you
high and dry.

Thanks, Donna.
You're welcome, Harvey.

And speaking of not being
your secretary anymore...

This is a press release
announcing your partnership.

It's more than
just a press release.

It's a statement to the world.

I'll take a look at it later.

Do you mean later,
like, this afternoon

or later, like,
after you go see Dr. Agard?

What?

Harvey, the last time I
stopped being your secretary,

you started
having panic attacks.

And I'm not saying
that's going to happen again.

But you just got
a look on your face,

and I want to make sure
you're okay with all of this.

I'm okay with it, Donna.

I'll get you what you need
to issue that release.

But right now, I've got to
make a statement of my own.

What can I do for you, Mr. Ross?

Well, you can start by
writing a check to Harry kirst.

You don't waste time,
do you? No, I don't.

So, why don't you cut my
client a check for $300,000,

and I'll withdraw this lawsuit
I haven't filed yet?

Mr. Ross, I'm afraid there's been
a little misunderstanding here.

We're not looking to settle.

Then why the hell
did you set this meeting?

Because it's policy
to meet with our clients

and try to resolve their issues.

Okay, well, my client's issue
is you're not honoring his claim.

So, he can't
support his children.

Yes, and I'm very sorry about
that, but my hands are tied.

I get it.

Your policy is
to give people the runaround

so they get demoralized
and drop their case.

No, Mr. Ross.

Our policy is to follow
the letter of our contracts.

And if we let
one person who lied

on their application
get away with it,

we wouldn't have
a business anymore.

All right. Look at me.

I'm not some personal
injury lawyer, all right?

I work at Pearson specter litt.

I'm not going to get worn down.

So, I suggest you just
cut me a check.

Save yourself the trouble of me
wiping the floor with you in court.

As I said, my hands are tied.

But it won't be me you'll
be going up against in court,

it will be our outside
counsel, Mr. Ackerman.

And from what I've seen,

nobody wipes the floor
with Mr. Ackerman.

Harvey: Nice office.
Mine's better.

Isn't that the same line
you used

when you thought your Ferrari
was better than my cobra?

It was better.

And a good line never gets old.

Tell that to your hairline.

Tell that your waistline.

Good to see you, Harvey.
What brings you down?

I'm here to finish a conversation
we started years ago.

Well, I know you're not
coming over here,

so you must be talking
about me working over there.

What if I am?

I'd say which one
of my clients are you after?

Because we both know
you can't have pfizer.

Yes, I can.

Are you telling me you're ready

to drop Jessica's
oldest client just to get me?

That's what I'm telling you.

Uh-huh.

Why now?

Because Jessica's gone,
so now I can.

Then make me name partner.

What?

This isn't about Jessica's
gone so now you can.

This is about Jessica's gone

so now you want to tell
the world that you're not her.

And that's not about hiring me,

that's about getting my client.

Alex, this is a win-win.

I don't poach,
you come over, we have fun.

But I'm not going to just
give you the run of the place.

Then I'm not coming,

because my name is going
up on this wall within a year.

And pfizer's not
leaving me. Alex...

You always say you're
the better poker player.

Well, not today.

Because I'm all in,
and you got nothing.

So, either add my name
to your letterhead

or take your chips and go home.

Ackerman: Your honor, they
can dress this up all they want.

But the fact is, the deceased
entered into a contract in bad faith

by claiming
she was no longer a smoker.

The only fact here is that

they're manufacturing a reason
to weasel out of a legitimate claim.

Are you going to tell the
court that we manufactured

this picture of your client
smoking eight months ago?

I'm well aware of the photo
that you sent a grieving husband.

But an image of a woman
not inhaling a cigarette

doesn't prove anything.

She lied on her application.

Which had nothing to do
with how she died.

And manner of death isn't
at issue here, the contract is.

He's got a point.

Your honor, they're
claiming that my client

entered into a policy
in bad faith.

Well, what kind of faith is it

when a company pores through
a woman's social media history

just to stick it to her grieving
husband and three children?

Better faith than a man that
pretended to be an attorney

for the better part
of three years.

What are you talking about?

Your honor, this is
Mr. Ross' Harvard diploma.

The only problem is, Mr. Ross
never actually went to Harvard.

The only place he did graduate
from is danbury federal prison,

where he spent time
for impersonating a lawyer.

All right. That is
inadmissible and irrelevant.

You're claiming bad faith.
Your whole life is bad faith.

I think a jury should have
a chance to hear that.

Your honor, this is...

Your motion to dismiss
is denied, Mr. Ackerman.

But, Mr. Ross,
I am inclined to agree

that your history
is relevant to this case.

Which means if he
wants to bring it up at trial,

I'm not stopping him.

So, that's how you're
going to play it? Excuse me?

You're not going to give me your
real settlement offer right now?

I have no idea what you're
talking about. Bullshit.

I knew there was a reason that
woman didn't give me an offer before.

Now I know it's because
you wanted me to see that.

Now that you mention it,

I did take the Liberty of whipping
up a little standard boilerplate.

No admission of guilt, you
settle for pennies on the dollar,

and that's take it or leave it.

Well, then, let me tell you
right now. We're leaving it.

You're required to
present this to your client.

Well, I'm also required
to give them my legal opinion,

which is that you stand
to lose a lot more than that.

Then maybe you missed
what just went on back there.

What went on back there
isthejudge ruled in my favor

and you didn't get
your case dismissed.

He also showed his hand.

Now, how do you think
12 jurors are going to rule

when it's plain as day
that the guy hearing the case

doesn't even trust you?

Good, you're here.
Donna: Of course, we are.

When the managing partner
calls a meeting,

the rest of the partners
show up.

So, what did you
want to talk about?

I want to talk about
bringing on pfizer as a client.

Donna: Harvey, I'm sure
you already know this.

That would mean
dropping Jim Reynolds.

I think that's the point.

And I think
it's a great idea, Harvey.

Pfizer's 10 times
the size of Jim Reynolds

and Jessica has always
been stubborn about him.

Good. Because in order
to do that,

we need to make Alex Williams
a name partner.

What?

Who do you think's bringing
pfizer over here, in the first place?

So, then, give him a corner
office with a killer view.

Because I'm not going to do
something like that

for someone I barely know.
Donna: Harvey...

Well, I've known him for 15
years and I'm vouching for him.

I don't care if you came
out of the womb with him.

You don't just slap somebody's
name on the wall to get a client.

I'm not just slapping his name
up, Louis. I'm making a move.

Harvey. That's enough.

I asked you
last night if you had

any problems with me
calling the shots,

and you said you didn't. Now,
are you on board with this or not?

Okay, Harvey, I'm on board.

Ah, there you are.
I need your help.

And you can have it after I've
enjoyed my ham sandwich in peace.

Nope, sorry. That ham's
going to have to wait.

Harvey is about to make
some stranger name partner.

What? Louis, you must have
misunderstood something.

Gretchen. I heard him.
Clear as a frickin' bell.

He wants one of the guy's clients,
name partnership is the price,

and I think it's a huge mistake.

Well, did you tell him that?

Yes, of course.
But he couldn't hear me.

And I told him last night that
I would back his decisions.

Which means
you want me to find out

as much dirt as I can
on this sucker

so you can convince Harvey
not to hire him.

Exactly. So, let's move this
little piggy to the market and...

Not going to happen, Louis.

Gretchen, did you not
hear what I just said?

I heard you.

Have you never heard the saying,

"there's more than
one way to skin a cat"?

You mean stuff a cat.

Why would I mean stuff a cat?

Because they are
glorious creatures

and only a barbarian
would skin one.

Louis, your brain is not right.

My point is, if Harvey
wants this man's client,

there has to be
another way to get them.

Holy shit, you're right.

If I can get pfizer,

Harvey doesn't even have to
bring this clown to the firm at all.

Strap in, Gretchen.

Because we're about
to get elbow deep

into stuffing
the shit out of this cat.

And I'm out.

I don't understand that. I mean,
I get that the offer is horrible.

But if the judge is letting
this thing go to trial,

he must think I have a case.

You do have a case, Harry.

But the lawyer on the other
side of this thing has made it clear

that he is willing to pull out all
of the stops, no matter how low.

They've already used the photo of
Shannon. What else do they have?

What are you talking about?

Look, I am a fully licensed
member of the bar now.

But before I was, I...

I was practicing law without
a license and I got caught.

And you didn't think
I should know that?

I didn't think
that it would be relevant.

It sure as hell seems relevant.

They are just trying to
prejudice the jury against me.

They're going to be
prejudiced against you. I'd be.

I'm telling you that
I can still win this.

Still win?

They're going to make it seem
like Shannon lied on purpose

and then iwent out and
hired a liar to cover it up.

If you want someone else
to handle this,

I completely understand.

The only problem with that is,
iwent to 15 firms before I came to you.

And none of them would take
my case because of that photo.

You were my last hope, Mr. Ross.

And now, you're telling me
we're going to lose.

No, Harry.

I am promising you that I
will not cost you this case.

Good, Donna, you're here.

I'm going to need someone to
draw up a contract for Alex, and...

Harvey, I don't think
we should drop Jim Reynolds.

I understand what
you're doing, what?

But I think that maybe
you're rushing into it.

I'm not rushing, Donna,
I'm being decisive.

Then you need to tell Jessica
before you do it.

Tell Jessica?

I'm doing this to show people
that this is my firm now.

Asking mommy's permission
isn't part of the plan.

Well, is it also
part of the plan

that you signal to the rest
of our long-term clients

that you'll just throw them
over for the next big thing?

Where the hell
is this coming from?

What do you mean,
where is this coming from?

You made me a partner.
I'm saying my piece.

That's what the meeting was for.

Well, maybe you didn't notice,

but you and Louis
were having a private meeting.

Well, you know what, Donna?

You had the balls to
ask for a seat at the table.

So, the next time
you have something to say,

have the balls to say it
at the goddamn meeting.

Hey. Hey.

How did it go in court?

Not great.

No. Don't tell me the judge
agreed to dismiss the case.

The lawyer on the other side
somehow got a copy of my fake diploma.

Mike, that's bullshit.

Your history has nothing
to do with this case.

I know that, but he got
the judge on his side.

Now, he's going to try and
do the same thing with the jury.

And my own client
barely trusts me.

Okay.

What are you going to do?

I was wondering if you would
take over the case for me.

If that's what you want,
then I would be honored to.

Alex, I'm glad you called.

We're still working out
the papen/vork.

If you're still
working on the paperwork,

how come I just found out
you're trying to poach my client?

What? Don't bullshit me.

Kevin Bauer told me that p.S.L.
Called to set an appointment,

and it sure as hell
wasn't to tell my own client

that I'm going to be
name partner at your firm.

God damn it.

You telling me you had
nothing to do with this?

That's exactly
what I'm telling you.

Then get your shit together, and
either make this thing happen or not.

Because I went out on a limb
for you once before.

I'm not about to let the
same thing happen again.

Did you set
a meeting with pfizer?

Harvey, you don't understand.

What I understand is you were
on board with bringing Alex over,

and then you tried
to poach his client.

It's not like that.

I knew what you really wanted was
pfizer, so I tried to make it happen.

No, Louis.

What I really wanted
was to bring over my friend

who I've known
for the last 15 years.

Yeah? Well, what about
what this friend thinks?

We already had that discussion,

and then you went
behind my back.

Maybe because
it was stupid of you

to offer your friend name
partner in the first place.

Excuse me?

What kind of genius negotiator
gives away the house from the start?

Louis. No.

You want pfizer?
You go get pfizer.

But don't you bring in
some Johnny-come-lately

and water down
the name of this firm.

You don't give a shit
about watering down this firm.

You're scared of watering down
your place in it.

I'm not afraid of a
third-rate lawyer. Bullshit.

You're afraid
and you're jealous.

And this entire firm knows it.

No, there's no need to bejealous,
because he's not coming here.

Yes, he is.

Well, then, why don't you try
reading the by-laws?

Because in order to make
someone name partner,

you need my vote
or Jessica's vote.

And if you think she is
going to ditch her oldest client

to bring in someone
she doesn't even know,

you're out of your goddamn mind.

Harvey, do you have a minute?

That's about all I have.

Okay. I was wondering

if it would be okay if I took
over Mike's pro bono case.

What?

Something came up.
He asked me if I could do it.

I wanted to get
your permission first.

Why not?

Because I made a deal
with Mike, not you.

Now, you want to tell me
what's really going on here?

Because Mike's not giving away
his first case unless he's in a coma.

The lawyer on the other side
outed Mike as a fraud.

Meaning? He brought
out Mike's Harvard diploma

and he prejudiced the judge.

So, Mike thinks if he
hands the case over to you,

he takes that weapon
out of their hands. Yes.

Well, now, it's a definite no.

Why does that make it
a definite no?

Because I said so.

Harvey, can you
at least talk to Mike?

No, I can't. Why not?

Because I've got
a plane to catch.

You wanted to talk to me? Mike:
What gave it away?

The nine texts
or the 16 messages?

I was on a plane.

Yeah, well,
I'm in your old office

wondering why
you even gave it to me

ifyou're not going to let me
make simple personnel decisions.

Mike. If you let
this asshole bully you,

you're going to be backing
down for the rest of your life.

I'm not backing down.

I am buying time

so that I can stop this bullshit
from ever happening again.

You don't need time.
I have a way.

Stop apologizing
and start intimidating.

Well, that's a hell
of a slogan, Harvey.

But what does it actually mean?

It means you go out,
you find a reporter,

and you take control
of the narrative.

Instead of a lying fraud, you're
a hero fighting for redemption.

I don't have time
to change my image.

Look, if I lose this case, the only
article that's going to get written

isthatlnever should have been

able to practice law
in the first place.

Yeah, well,
if you can't figure out

a way to win
without Rachel's help,

then maybe I shouldn't have
brought you back in the first place.

Because I've had about enough

of having every employee I have

question every decision I make.

I thought we were going
to meet at the restaurant.

I got down here early.

Manhattan doesn't have
views like this.

Thanks for making the time
to see me, Jessica.

I will always make time
to see you, Harvey.

Especially after you've flown all the
way out here to put the screws to me.

Louis called you, didn't he?

About an hour after
your plane took off.

Then you've already heard
his side of the story.

And I don't need to hear yours.

Jessica... Harvey.

I understand wanting
to make a statement.

But you rush into this,

the only statement you're
making is that you're not ready.

I can't believe this.

My first act
as managing partner,

and you're cutting
my legs out from under me.

I'm not cutting anything out.
I'm trying to help you.

You can't give out name
partner like it's Halloween candy.

That doesn't sound like help.
It sounds like I'm a child who...

Harvey. You do this,

what's going to happen
the next time

you want to bring someone over?

I'll tell you what happens.

You're going to get rolled because
you haven't thought this through.

You know what I think?

I think this has nothing
to do with my decision.

You're pissed I'm dumping
your client for a better one.

No, Harvey.

That's something
you'd be pissed about

because you've never been
able to look at the big picture.

Well, how's this for big picture?
I think you want it both ways.

And what the hell
is that supposed to mean?

It means you want to live here
and keep your name on my wall

because you're not ready
to let go of my firm.

Well, if that's how
you really feel,

then take my name
off your goddamn wall.

And then, you can do
whatever the hell you want.

Hey.

I hope you don't think
I forgot about our dinner.

I don't. But I'm afraid
I have to reschedule.

Sure. Any time is good for me.

Thanks for being understanding.

And for the record,

I was really looking forward to
getting to know each other better.

So was I.

But the truth is, I guess
I'm glad we're rescheduling.

I didn't want to end up focusing
on myself like I did the last time.

Why, is something going on?

It's not a big deal.

Harvey, you can
talk to me about it.

But you said before...

I know what I said before.

But this is different.

How?

Because you heard me
and you respected my wishes.

Which means instead of me
listening to you as your therapist,

you know I'll be
listening to you as your...

Not therapist. Yes.

Look at that.

Even when we cancel, I feel
like I'm getting to know you better.

Me, too.

So, are you going
to tell me what's going on?

You know what?

Now that I just talked to you,

I feel like I can
work it through myself.

Good.

Good night, Harvey.

Rachel: Hey. Hey.

You busy? You know I am,

which means you wouldn't
be here if it wasn't important.

You're right.
I talked to Harvey.

He changed his mind?

No. No.

He told me if I run from this,
I'll be running forever.

Look, I hate to say it,
but he might have a point.

He does.

So, then, why are you here?

Because he got me thinking.

The woman I first met over there

said they couldn't let
people like Harry and his wife

get away with lying
on their application

because they wouldn't
have a business anymore.

Right. But they didn't
lie on their application.

No, they didn't.

But a company that
thinks like that...

Might have a policy of trying
to not pay their claims at all.

Exactly.

So, if we can prove

that that's the company's
real policy, we got them.

Right. Mike, we can get all
the subpoenas in the world,

but they're never going to hand
over a smoking gun like that.

No, they won't.

But I think you know someone
who can get it for us

without issuing
any subpoena at all.

Ms. Cromwell.

Remember me?

Yes, unfortunately.

Ifyou'll excuse me.

We have a job
we'd like to offer you.

Not interested.

You haven't even
heard what it is.

Well, I don't need
to know what it is.

I don't do business
with people I don't trust.

You're a corporate spy.
Not anymore.

Because the last mystery man
she brought me

said word wouldn't get out
about our little arrangement.

Well, it did.

So, now, I'm trying to make it
as a legitimate headhunter,

which pays about 10%
of what I made before.

So, ifyou'll excuse me,

I'm meeting with an actual
client in a few minutes.

Ms. Cromwell, please.

A mother of three
was killed in a car accident.

Now, she was 39 years old.

Now, her husband
can't support his children

because acumen insurance is
trying to scam him out of their claim.

What am I supposed
to do about that?

This can't be the first time
they've done this.

And we're betting that there
isn't a major corporation in this city

that you don't have accessto.

Please.

You can help these people.

I don't give a shit
about helping people.

I give a shit about helping me.

Which is why I want $50,000.

What? I just told you,
you cost me millions.

So, if you want my help...
Okay. Never mind.

Mike, I knew this was
a bad idea. We'll pay it.

Mike.

Rachel, if she can get us
something we can use, it's worth it.

It will come out
of the settlement offer.

Uh-uh. I want it up front.

And how do we know
that you won't take the money

and say that
you couldn't find anything?

You don't.

But given the fact
that you're still here,

it doesn't look like
you have much of a choice.

So. How are you, Louis?

Want to know how I'm doing?
I'll tell you how I'm doing.

I tried focusing on my professional
life instead of my personal one,

and it's been
a goddamn disaster.

I take it thoughts of Tara have
been getting in the way of work.

What? No. I'm over her.
She's yesterday's news.

Your words
make me think otherwise.

Well, how about
you listen to these words?

Harvey's making his friend
name partner,

he's accused me of being
jealous, and I don't know what to do.

Are you jealous?

Of course, I'm goddamn jealous!

Louis, it's natural
for you to feel that way.

You've worked hard
to get where you are

and a new person threatens
your position in the firm.

That's not...

That's not it.

The one silver lining
of Jessica leaving

was that I thought
that Harvey would

finally turn to me
not only as his partner,

but as his friend.

That's not happening now

because I'm being replaced.

And you're scared
of losing your friend.

What do I do?

I can't tell you that, Louis.

But I can tell you it was your
behavior that drove Tara away.

And if you keep letting your
emotions dictate your behavior,

you won't need to worry
about being replaced.

You'll drive Harvey away
all by yourself.

Katrina: I'm not sure I've
ever seen you here this late.

New office, new hours.

I guess so.

Katrina, whatever's
on your mind,

I recommend you just say it.

As you know, I am on track
to be a senior partner here.

In fact, it's one of the main
reasons I agreed to come back.

I know.

I'm not saying Donna
doesn't deserve a promotion.

I know what she does
as much as anyone.

I'm just saying making
partner means something.

And I'm concerned that being
one here won't mean what it used to.

What would you have me do?

I don't know.

I just thought
if I was thinking it,

it occurred to me
that others might be, too.

And I thought
you should know that.

Katrina, being a partner here
will mean as much as it always has.

I'll make sure of it.

I hope you came here to tell me

you got everything
straightened out.

I came here to tell you
that the deal's off the table.

What?

Name partner means something,

and I can't just give it away
to make a statement.

I never should have offered
it to you in the first place.

God damn it, Harvey.

This is the second time
you've done this.

And I'm sorry, Alex, but this
is a take it or leave it offer.

You can let me know
in the morning.

I'll take it.

I wasn't really going to make
name partner in a year.

Maybe not ever.

I know.

How?

Because if they were
really going to do it in a year,

you would have leveraged them
to move it up

the second I left your office.

So, why didn't you call me
on that before? I don't know.

Maybe it's because
I felt like I owe you,

or maybe because I wanted to
prove to the world that I'm not Jessica.

Or maybe it's because
I wanted to work together.

I'll see you Monday, Harvey.

See you Monday.

Mike: I'll get that.

Keep your money, Mr. Ross.
You're going to need it.

I think after you see this,

you're going to want to save
every nickel you have.

Thanks.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong,
but I believe that's a memo

between acumen's senior
management and their sales force

outlining their policy

of doing whatever it takes
to avoid paying claims.

Wow. This thing can be
interpreted a dozen different ways.

It doesn't prove a thing.

It proves that we're not just
talking about my client anymore.

You're looking
at a class action.

And if there's one thing a jury
hates more than a fake lawyer,

it's an insurance company that
rips off widowers and children.

What do you want?

Fifty million.
With an admission of guilt.

No way. They won't go
for admission.

Okay. Then, here's what
you're going to do instead.

A reporter's going to call you.

And when he does, you're
going to tell him the story of

how you thought you
were going to wipe the floor

with this fraudulent attorney,

but instead,
you ended up praying

that you never go up
against him again.

You knew they wouldn't go
for admission. You set me up.

Well, now that
you mention it, I did.

And that's take it or leave it.

Then, I guess I'll take it
and leave out the part

where you traded
admission of guilt

in exchange for self-promotion.

Don't you dare say that to me.

I'm not doing this for myself.

I'm doing it so that
pieces of shit like you

never try to use my history
against my clients again.

Louis,
before you say anything...

Harvey, before you say anything,
I just want to say I'm sorry.

You were right.

I was jealous ofalex
coming over here.

But not because I'm afraid
of another lawyer.

I don't understand.

See, Harvey, I know you
like to make fun of me.

And I know I might not mean as
much to you as you mean to me,

but you're my friend.

And because I don't have many,
that friendship is important to me.

You don't have to worry
about that, Louis.

But I don't want my behavior
to drive a wedge between us.

Which means I accept Alex
as name partner.

About that, Louis...

I mean, it's just
going to have to be like

when LeBron James
joined the Miami heat.

When he and d-Wade
worked it out with Chris bosh.

I thought you didn't know
anything about sports.

I stayed up all night trying to
come up with the right analogy.

And if I'm not mistaken,
they went on to win

back-to-back super bowls.

That they did.

Louis, for what it's worth,

Alex is still coming,
but not as name partner.

Really? Yeah.

You were right.

We can't water down
the firm like that.

You've never knocked before.

You've never had a door before.

I know. And it's a good thing
I do because...

You can't be a partner, Donna.

What?

You can't do that.

Ihaveto. I made a mistake.

Bullshit. I...

I paid you $500,000.

You haven't signed
the partnership agreement yet.

So, I can refund
your money and...

I don't want a refund.
I want what we agreed to.

I can't do that.

You are not a lawyer.

And being partner at a law firm,

it means something,
inside the firm and out.

Which is why I wrote
up a new release for you.

This says director of personnel.

Everybody knows you're great
with people, so it will play out there.

But between you and me...

No, Harvey,
I didn't ask for partner

just so I can keep being a
superwoman behind closed doors,

but to the rest of the world,
be a glorified office manager.

Partner is off the table, Donna.

Then keep my buy-in
and make me coo.

I can't do that. That's the
same as a partner. No, it isn't.

Skadden and Zane and
Bratton gould all have coos

and none of them are lawyers.

How do you know that?

Because I never thought you'd
make me partner in the first place.

Okay, it's a deal.

And I keep my vote.

Donna...

Within these walls, I have a
seat at the table, take it or leave it.

I'll take it.

Thanks, Harvey.

You're going to make
a hell of a c00.

And? How did it go?

Out of the park.

Got everything we wanted.

What do you say we go
out and celebrate tonight?

Well, we're celebrating,
but we're not going out.

What do you mean?

A reporter from the times is
going to be here in five minutes.

Okay.

We are doing an interview.

The redemption
of a fraudulent lawyer.

Well, that is
the best news I've heard

since finding out
you got into the bar.

Thank you.

But I think you should do it
without me.

Rachel, I...

I couldn't have done
any of this without you.

And that may be true.

But this is your story and
you should be the one to tell it.

I'll see you at home.

Mike. Yeah.

David gruen. Good to meet you.

Where do you want to do this? I
was thinking maybe your new office.

Uh, yeah. We could end up there.

But I was thinking maybe we'd
start out where I started out.

Where's that?

In the bullpen.

What is it now, Harvey?

You want to put the janitor
in charge of bankruptcy?

Or the guard downstairs
could be head of litigation.

You finished?

That depends on
what you say next.

I'm sorry I said
those things about you.

And I want you to know
I didn't mean any of them.

I'm sorry, too, Harvey.

Jessica, you don't
need to apologize for...

Yes, I do.

You were just
tearing the statue down.

Just like you saw me do
all those years ago.

And I didn't like it.

Because the statue was me.

Well, if it's the same to you,
I'd like the statue to stay.

Sounds good to me.

There's one more thing.

There always is.

I'm still bringing Alex over,
only not as a name partner.

But pfizer's still insisting
we drop Jim Reynolds.

And you want to know
if I'm okay with it.

No. I'm letting him go.

I'm just calling you
to tell you before I tell him,

like I should have done
in the first place.

I was wrong when I said
you weren't ready, Harvey.

No, you weren't.

But you are now.

Good night, closer.

Good night, Jessica.

And take your feet off my desk.

Not a chance.
