- Previously on "Suits"...

- You think that I don't know
that all your problems

are solved if I tell them
that Harvey did this?

- I would be lying if I said
it didn't cross my mind

that maybe Mike should think
about making a deal.

And now that they've taken in
your father, you can't tell me

that the thought
hasn't crossed yours too.

- Thinking about it and talking
about it aren't the same thing.

- I got a call about an article
on Mike Ross' meteoric rise

to Junior Partner.

The problem is
there is no Mike Ross.

- You reported it anonymously,

because you didn't want
to look bad.

- I reported it anonymously

because I was ashamed
that it happened on my watch.

- I loved you, and you let
some stupid secret

come between us because
you couldn't trust me with it.

- All you have to do
is admit what you did,

and all of this goes away.

- Sheila came forward.

She admitted she was the one
who wrote the e-mail.

- You and your partners
are hereby subpoenaed

to hand over every single
document in the entire firm.

- Harvey, I'm not sure
this is the best idea.

- We need to know what she has.
What's the downside?

- The downside is
that we move up the trial.

- Mike, this trial's coming,
whether we like it or not.

And the more time we have
knowing her game plan,

the better off we'll be.

- Holy shit.
- What?

- I took the LSATs
with this guy.

- So what?

- So he can give Gibbs something
she doesn't even have on me yet.

- Yes, but to do that, he'd
be ruining his whole career.

Which means, even
if he remembers you,

he's more afraid of you
than you are of him.

So calm the hell down.

- All right, let's make
this quick.

- Your Honor,
making it quick is exactly

what we're asking you to do.

She hasn't handed over
her discovery yet.

- I'm still building a case,

and we haven't even set
a date for the trial yet.

- And the check's in the mail,
and all the other things

people say when they don't wanna
do what they have to do.

- What I have to do
is protect the public

from the likes of you.
- All right, that's enough.

Get that discovery to them
by the end of the day.

- In that case, we'd like to ask
that the day of the trial

be set in the next two weeks.

- Objection, Your Honor,
she's had weeks to...

- You can't have it both ways,
Mr. Specter.

You can't demand discovery
and ask for more time.

Trial starts in two weeks.

- Jessica, we have a problem.

- Thanks for pointing
that out, Jack.

I had no idea.

- I'm not talking
about the trial.

I'm talking about this.

- What the hell is that?

- An Op-Ed in the Journal.

"There is no way
on God's green Earth

"that at least one
of the three name partners

"at Pearson Specter Litt

didn't know what was going on
under their own roof."

- "God's green Earth."
Who wrote it?

- A partner at Skaaden.

If it wasn't them,
it would've been someone else,

because they smell blood.
- I don't care what they smell.

I've given up everything
for this firm,

and if anybody tries
to take it from me,

they'll have to pry it
from my cold, dead hands.

- And what's your goddamn plan?
- Excuse me?

- Jessica, our reputation's
taking a beating.

We need to rehabilitate it.

That means pro bono,
and you know it.

- One free case is not going
to move the needle,

no matter how worthy it is.

- I'm not talking
about one case.

I'm talking about
a series of cases

for our clients'
most valued charities.

- Oh, this better not be
another scheme, Jack.

- You think this is a move?

- Now why would I ever
think that after you tried

to take my firm from me six
times in the last ten minutes?

- I did try
to take over from you.

But I've been at this firm
my entire career,

and I am fighting for it now.

- And you think I'm not?
- I'm sure you are.

But you're also the reason
I'm holding this indictment

of our firm in the first place,

because what they're
saying is true.

And don't you dare
try to tell me

you didn't know about Mike Ross,

because we both know you did.

- What the hell do you want?

- Oh, since you made me come
all the way down here,

I thought I'd save the taxpayers
some money on hiring a server.

- A server for what?

- For your fiancée. I'd like
to ask her some questions.

- Get the hell out of here.

You want to serve a subpoena,
you serve it to her.

- Well, then I wouldn't get
to see the look on your face.

Did you really think I wouldn't
hit you where it hurts?

I was saving
your weakest spot for last.

Have a nice day, gentlemen.

- What?
- You know what.

It's time we give that woman
a taste of her own medicine.

- What the hell is that
supposed to mean?

- It means we hire a lawyer
from an outside firm,

and we dig up dirt on someone
she cares about.

- Are you out of your mind?
- You saw what she did to Donna.

It's only a matter of time
before she tries to pull

the same shit with Rachel.
- Mike...

- Harvey, you're the one
that taught me that when someone

puts pressure on you,
you put it back on them.

- I also taught you if you're
gonna take a swing at someone,

you better knock them out,
and if we pull the shit

that you're talking about
and get caught,

all that happens is
I get thrown off this case,

and it's game over.

- Harvey, I can't stand by
and watch while the people

I care about get attacked,
and neither could you.

- Mike, I promise you,

I will be there for Rachel
every step of the way.

In the meantime,

I need you going through
every one of those boxes.

Because if that woman
is ready to go to trial,

she's got a lot more
than an e-mail

from Louis' girlfriend.

.

- Rachel Zane.
- Yes?

My name is Anita Gibbs.
I'm the...

- Yes, I know who you are.

I'm flattered you came
for me personally.

But we aren't supposed to talk
for another three days,

and I don't have my lawyer
with me, so...

- This isn't
a formal interrogation.

That won't be necessary.

- Then I'll tell you
what is necessary.

You're going to put in writing
that anything I say to you

is inadmissible.

- I suspected you'd
say that, which is why

I prepared this.

I understand if you'd prefer
to ask somebody who's actually

completed law school
if that's legally binding.

- I'm perfectly capable
of determining

if this is legally
binding or not.

And I'm not going to let you

bait me into saying
anything to you.

- Well, that's fine with me.

I'm not looking for you to talk.

I'm looking for you to listen.

- Well, it's official.

No matter what happens at trial,

this firm isn't surviving
Mike Ross.

- I know about
the editorial, Louis.

- What editorial?

I'm talking about the summer
associate applications.

- How bad is it?
- Three people.

Not just any three people,
the three people that never

should've made it to Harvard
in the first place.

- Goddamn it.

Sheila's sending us
the bottom of the barrel.

- She's giving us
the sludge that grows

at the bottom of the barrel.
- Then...

I think it might be time to
start looking beyond Harvard.

- Yeah, that's a great idea.
You know what?

We should start shitting
in the urinals

while we're at it.

- I'm not talking about

the University
of Arizona, Louis.

I'm talking about Columbia,
Yale, Stanford...

- And I'm talking
about appearances.

We break our rule and suddenly
hire outside of Harvard...

- We already broke our rule
for Rachel with Columbia.

- Please, that was different,
and you know it.

- No. It was because of Mike,

which makes it the same
goddamn thing.

One way or another, we are
going to keep this firm going.

So if you don't wanna go
outside of Harvard to do that,

then I suggest you go up
to Cambridge,

and convince Sheila
to start feeding us

some worthy goddamn applicants.

[dramatic music]

♪ ♪

- Okay. So first
you pick me up,

then you bring me
to my favorite café.

- What can I say?
I do my homework.

- As do I, Ms. Gibbs,
which is why I'm not falling

for you pretending
to be my friend.

- You're right.
I'm not your friend.

But I am willing
to pull some strings

to get the man you love
into Columbia Law School.

- And if you think that I'm
gonna buy that fairy tale,

the only strings you're trying
to pull are mine.

- The only fairy tale here
is the one where you believe

you get out
of this thing unscathed.

- Okay.
We're done here.

- Rachel, I'm just trying
to give you your options.

- I know my options.

- Then you know you have
no spousal privilege,

which means you're going to
have to tell the truth,

and put your fiancée away.

Or you're gonna have
to plead the Fifth.

- Or I can say that
he didn't do this.

- Perjuring yourself is
the same as taking the Fifth,

as far as your future
is concerned.

- What the hell does that mean?

- I'm saying that someday
you're going to face

the character and fitness
committee of the Bar,

and I seriously doubt they're
going to admit somebody

who did that.

- Are you trying to
intimidate a witness?

Because yes, someday
I will face that committee,

but tomorrow they're going
to be hearing about you.

- I'm your only way
out of this mess.

Just give me the people who are
actually responsible for it,

and I'll see to it that both
you and Mike can practice law

for the rest of your lives.

- Please tell me
that's the last one.

- It is.

Except for the hundred
in the other conference room.

- Holy shit.
- Yeah.

Trial Strategy 101.

Bury the other side
in paperwork,

so they can't find
what they're looking for.

- And what are we looking for?

- Gibbs' trial strategy.

Somewhere in these boxes
are the pieces

that she is putting together
to make her case.

We find them,
we know specifically

what we have to fight.

- And what specifically might
those things look like?

- Witness lists, interviews,
anything to do with Lola Jensen,

utility bills from when I was
supposed to be at Harvard...

- Wait, wait, wait.
Slow down.

- Why are you writing this down?
- So I can remember it.

And because we need a system.

- And because you've never done
doc review before.

I don't believe it.

How you've been a legal
secretary this long,

and never have done doc review.
- I will tell you how.

Because I'm the best damn person
you've ever seen

at reading people,
anticipating needs,

and generally
dominating everything.

- So, in this situation,

you're going to be
absolutely no help at all.

- None whatsoever.
- I'm getting Rachel.

- What's that?

- What does it look like?

- It looks like something
I don't have time for.

- Well, make time.

- Jessica, we've got a thousand
boxes of shit to go through,

and I've got trial in two weeks.
- What?

- That's right.
The date's been set.

So I'm sorry that I can't have
a doughnut with you right now,

but I've got something a little
more important to deal with.

- Harvey, I understand, but
our clients are being circled.

Our reputation's getting tanked,

and we're getting sent
shit associates.

- And Mike Ross
is facing prison.

- And you're handling one thing,

while I'm handling
everything else.

- Jessica...
- No, never mind, Harvey.

It's clear that you
really don't care

about keeping
this firm together.

- I resigned to keep
this firm together.

- Well, it sure doesn't seem
to be working out that way,

does it?

- Great, I'll have my secretary
set up a meeting for Monday.

- If that meeting's about your
pro bono bullshit,

cancel it.
- What?

- You said it yourself, Jack.
Other firms smell blood.

Well, you don't get a shark
to back off by playing nice,

you do it by clubbing him
in the face.

- They come after our clients,
we go after theirs.

- Clients aren't the ones
writing editorials

for "The Wall Street
Journal", Jack.

- You want to poach an attorney.

- I wanna poach
a whole goddamn department.

- That is definitely
another way to go.

- It's the only way to go,

because if we didn't do what
we're saying we didn't do,

this is what we do.
- I get it.

You're trying to convince
the world we're innocent.

- Jack, I don't give a shit
if my enemies think

I'm innocent or not.

I give a shit whether they
think they can take me down,

which is why
I'm not going to cower

in some pro bono corner,
trying to convince them

that I'm friendly.

I'm going to kick some ass,

and remind them that I'm fierce.

[door opening and closing]

- There you are. I've been
looking everywhere for you.

Rachel, we need your help.
Where have you been?

- With Anita Gibbs.

- What? How did you
let that happen?

- Because she ambushed me
on the street,

with a document that said
our conversation

would be inadmissible.

- And if she did that
is because she didn't want

to talk to you, she wanted
to get in your head.

- Mike, I know what
she wanted to do.

- What did she say?

- She said that she could
get you into Columbia,

and that you could be a lawyer
after all this is over.

- Rachel, she's lying...

- You think I don't know that?

- Well, we've already
been over this.

The only way she is gonna help
us is if we help her

put Harvey and Jessica away.

- Yes, Mike, I know that,
but we didn't go over the part

where I don't get into the Bar
because I took the Fifth.

- Oh, goddamn it!

This is exactly why I wanted
Harvey to be there.

She got into your head.
- She didn't got into my head.

She dangled our dream
in front of me,

and I know
that we can't have that.

It doesn't mean
I can't handle this.

- It doesn't seem
like you're handling it.

- I am.
- You're crying.

- No. I'm releasing my emotions
so that I can persevere

instead of denying them
and losing my mind.

Which I can't do today,

because I have a meeting
with the dean.

Now, I came in here to be alone

so I can deal with my shit,

so if you don't mind,
I would like to be alone

so I can deal with my shit.

.

- Hey, did you find something
in the discovery?

- Yeah, sure as hell did.

I just discovered that Gibbs
picked up Rachel.

- What?
She arrested her?

- No, she pulled up to the curb
with some document.

- I don't give a shit what she
pulled up with.

Rachel should know
not to go with her.

- Yeah, and that would've been
an excellent thing

for her lawyer to tell her,
except her lawyer wasn't there.

- Excuse me?
- You promised me

that you would be with her
every step of the way.

- I promised I'd represent her
at a deposition,

not babysit her 24 hours a day.

- Maybe instead of getting mad
at Rachel, it is time for us

to figure out
how to go after Gibbs.

- This again.
- Yes, this again.

I told you she was gonna go
after Rachel, and now she has.

- And I told you if you're
gonna go after someone,

you better knock them out.

- Then you better figure out
a way to knock Gibbs out soon,

because if you don't, I will.

- Louis.

What are you doing here?
- What?

You thought you could lie to
my face and get away with it?

- I never lied to you.
- Really?

Because you swore
you wouldn't come forward

about that e-mail,
but you did.

And you you're pulling
this associate shit.

- I didn't come forward.
They found me.

And I'm not pulling
any associate shit.

- Then what do you call
this pathetic excuse

of a candidates list?
- I call it inevitable.

Because our students can read.

- The editorial.
- Yes.

The editorial.

- So you're not
sending us sludge.

- Louis, I'm not doing anything.

Your firm is being investigated
by the U.S. Attorney's office.

And no one is going to risk
their career on a place

that may not even exist
in a month.

- They might,
if you convince them to.

- Louis, I can't do that.
- Sheila, please.

I came here once before,
hoping for a second chance

and you wouldn't give it to me.

- What does that
have to do with this?

- Because if we'd gotten
back together then,

I wouldn't even be
at the firm now,

but I am.

And it's all I have.

I understand you not giving
me a second chance then.

But I'm begging you...

give my firm one now.

- Louis, even if I wanted to,
it won't work.

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

Because they're going to ask me
if I think it's a good idea

for them to work at Pearson
Specter Litt, and I don't.

- Sheila...
- Louis.

Please don't ask me
to lie to them.

- What are you doing?

- I'm just wondering
if you're gonna stay in here

going over stuff all day.

- What else would I be doing?
Going to the ball game?

- I don't know, Harvey,

I thought maybe you'd be doing
something to get Anita Gibbs

to back off Rachel.

- Donna, she threatened
to go to the Bar.

It's a bullshit hypothetical
that she couldn't do

until after Rachel testified.

Which is after the trial starts,

and that's what I'm
goddamn working on.

- Harvey, all I'm saying is

that when Mike gets worked up
about something,

he doesn't tend to make
the best decisions.

- Well, if he doesn't work
on the discovery,

he's gonna go to jail, so...

what do you want me to do?
- I don't know, Harvey.

But you better at least
go talk to Anita Gibbs,

because Mike gave you
a warning loud and clear.

If you don't do something,
he will.

- Jack, I don't often come
outside for my coffee,

but when I do is because
I'm feeling the need

for a little alone time.

- Well, I came out here because
I knew you wouldn't want

anyone hearing
what I have to say.

- Are you here to tell me
you can get the job done?

- No, I'm here to tell you
if you want me to get it done,

you're going to have
to open your wallet.

- I'm not paying you more money,

just to get you to
poach a department.

- I'm not talking about me.

I'm talking the real estate
division of Baker Hostetler.

- How much do they want?
- Double what they're making.

- Are you insane? That's what
broke Dewey Ballantine.

You can't have two classes
of partners.

- Then we can't poach
a department,

because they're the only ones
even willing to come here,

considering what's going on.

- Then make the offer.

And let me have
my goddamn coffee in peace.

- Ms. Scott,

there's a Harvey Specter
here to see you.

He says it's urgent.

- Send him in.

I don't believe it.

You have some balls pretending
to be Harvey to get in here.

- Well, you did call me
"Baby Harvey" once.

- I don't give a shit
what I called you.

Get out! Now!
- Scottie, Scottie, please.

Listen, I knew you would
never agree to see me,

and I need to talk to you.

- About what?

- I need someone
to bring an action

against Anita Gibbs' sister.
- Are you insane?

- Listen to me.
She's not just coming after me.

She's coming after my fiancée.
- I don't care.

If I do that, I might as well
call the woman up,

and tell her that I'm in
on your whole bullshit too.

- We get someone
from your firm...

- Not to mention I told Harvey
that I never

even wanted to hear
your name again.

- [sighs]

- He didn't tell you
about that, did he?

[scoffs]

Well, I guess he hasn't changed,

because he didn't
tell me about you

until it was too late either.

So I am sorry
about your fiancée,

but I need you to go now.

- Scottie, this woman
is not gonna stop

until she gets what she wants.

And what she wants is Harvey.

So I'm not asking you to do
this for me and Rachel.

I'm asking you to do it for him.

- Is that an invitation
to your bar mitzvah?

Because I'm busy that day.

- It's a motion
to have you sanctioned

for improperly
contacting a witness.

- I didn't improperly
contact anyone.

- Oh, bullshit.

You got Rachel Zane alone
so you could offer her

a deal to turn on me.

- And there's nothing wrong
with that.

- You listen to me.

You've been pulling shit
like this

from the second
this thing started.

You denied my client access
to his attorney,

you fabricated charges
against Donna,

and now you're tampering
with a witness.

- And all witness tampering
would do is hurt my own case,

and why on God's green Earth
would I do that?

[dramatic music]

- Why did you just say?

- I said you're insane
if you think that...

- No, you said,
"on God's green Earth,"

which is exactly
what that editorial said.

I remember because I thought,

"What person under 80
uses that phrase?"

Well, looks like I found her.

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

- You sure as hell do, because
you planted that goddamn thing.

- You have any proof?
No, you don't.

But even if I did plant that,
it would only have been

because there's no way
that one of you

did not know what was going on.

And until one of you
admits that,

I'm going to take apart your
firm brick by brick.

So you want to file that thing?
You go ahead.

It's not going to stop me
for one second.

.

[knocking]

- Rachel, please.

Have a seat.
- Thank you, Dean.

I have to say I've
so been looking forward

to my first student review.

- And ever since
your first interview here,

you've done nothing
but impress me.

Which is why I'm sorry
to have to bring this up now.

- Bring what up?

- The fact that your last LSAT
score was significantly higher

than your previous ones.

- That is because I studied
incredibly hard the last time.

- Did you study hard? Or did
your fiancée study hard for you?

- You think Mike took
the LSAT for me?

- I think he's been indicted

for more serious crimes
than that.

And now there are allegations

that he's taken the LSATs
for people.

- I can't believe this.
I took that test myself.

- And I have a responsibility
to protect the reputation

of this university.

- And how exactly
are you proposing

to protect that reputation?

- By expelling
any dangers to it.

Unless, of course,
for some reason

these allegations against him
are dropped.

- Anita Gibbs called you,
didn't she?

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

I'm simply giving you
the courtesy

of letting you know
that if I have to choose

between your future
and this university's,

I'm not choosing you.

- Well, then, please,
tell Ms. Gibbs

thank you for the courtesy.

- Scottie, what are you
doing here?

- I can't believe
you sent him to me.

- Sent who?
- Oh, don't give me that.

The last time you came to me,

you said it was
because Mike made you.

Well, this time, you made him.

- I didn't made him do anything.

- Well, then, you taught him
well, because he came to me

and pulled on my heart strings

to get me to do
something for you,

but this time the answer is no.

I am not going after
Anita Gibbs.

- Scottie, I would never ask you
to do something like that.

- That's funny, because you
asked me to throw a case

to keep Mike
from getting caught.

- Throwing a case doesn't put
a target on your back.

- If you really wanted to keep
a target off my back,

you never would've told me
about Mike in the first place.

- Scottie, I didn't tell him
to do that.

- Well, then, I guess you two
are having the same problem

we did: You don't talk
to each other.

Since you chose him over me
it's not my problem anymore.

- I didn't chose him over you.

- Yes, you did.

And whether you choose
to admit it or not,

it was Mike's secret

that broke us up
in the first place.

- You let her in here
without telling me?

- I was in the conference room,
going over discovery.

What are you going to do?

- I don't know what I'm gonna
do, but whatever it is,

I'm gonna do it right now.
- Harvey, calm down.

- I'm not gonna calm down,
you told me to go after Gibbs

to stop Mike from doing
something stupid,

and I did, and all that did
was waste our time

like I said it would.
- Harvey.

Gibbs is attacking Rachel,
the woman he loves.

You of all people should be
able to understand that.

- I don't give a shit.

He had no right to go after
someone I love.

- Okay, you know what, Harvey?

Mike is the one on trial here,
not Scottie.

And all he did was ask her
to do something.

So maybe the thing that you're
really upset about

is that she was right.

- Well, how did it go?

- [sighs] We've known
each other a long time, Jack,

and I'd really like to help,
but it's not gonna happen.

You said if I could
get them double...

- I said it would take at least
double just to get me to ask.

I did, and they laughed me
out of the room.

- What if I could get you more?

- There's no number that's
going to get them to come

to Pearson Specter because they

a firm to come to.

- Because after I asked them
about your offer,

I asked them about mine.

fraternity brother of mine,

who happens to be
a kick-ass lawyer

might be looking for a change.

You've taken on an ocean.

Why the hell would

Because if that ship sinks,
I'll find myself another job.

But if it doesn't,

As my friend, tell me I'm wrong.

Once word got out about Mike
this was bound to happen.

- What I learned
from hiring Mike

was that not all great lawyers
went to Harvard.

- What are you saying?

- I contacted Stanford,
Yale, Columbia, Penn,

and all the rest...
Top 20 law schools.

I officially opened up the doors
to Pearson Specter Litt.

- I know how much you hated
to do that, Louis,

but sometimes we need to do
what we have to...

to survive.

- Is there anything else
I can do?

- No, there isn't.

Right now, we just need to
get through this trial,

and pray to God that Harvey gets

Mike goddamn Ross off the hook.

.

[water running]

- Hey.

- Hi.

- You're doing dishes.

- So?

- So you hate doing dishes,

which means something's wrong.

- Nothing's wrong.

[faucet closes]
- What's going on?

- I don't even know
if I should say it,

because the last time I did
you got so mad.

You thought I was
gonna leave you.

And you say you want me
to share things with you,

but I don't know if you do,
because when I do

you seem to get so upset
that I...

- I get it. You want to talk
about making a deal.

- I don't know what I wanna do.

I just...

She said that she could
get you into Columbia,

and you're right.

It got into my head.

- Rachel, we've been over this.

She was lying.

- That was before I knew she
was able to get to the dean.

- What are you talking about?

- I had my meeting
with him today,

and I thought he was
going to tell me

how well I've been doing,
and instead...

he threatened to expel me.

- [sighs]

Okay.

Okay, that... that doesn't mean
that it was Gibbs.

- You weren't there.
- No, I wasn't there, all right?

But it's not crazy to assume
that they would question

whether or not you knew about me
without talking to Gibbs.

- Is it crazy for them
to mention a crime

you haven't even been accused of
without talking to Gibbs?

- What?
- They said there are rumors

of you taking the LSATs
for people

and they're accusing you
of doing that for me.

- Well... at least now
I know what I need to do.

- Harvey.

I know how we can stop Gibbs
from pressuring Rachel.

- Does it involve going
to Scottie without telling me?

- Harvey.
- Goddamn it, you had no right.

- I had every right,
because I knew Gibson

would keep crossing lines,
and that's exactly what she did.

- What are you talking about?

- She manipulated
the Dean of Columbia

into threatening
to expel Rachel.

- Where's your proof?

- They accused her of having me
take the LSATs for her,

and the only problem is,
there's no record of me

ever having
being accused of that.

- The guy you saw in court.
- Yes, his name is David Green.

He must've told Gibbs about me,
and then she used that

to get the dean
to strong-arm Rachel.

That's abuse of power.

- I told you, the only problem
with that theory is,

David Green tells Gibbs
about you,

and his career is done.

- Then he must've told her
anonymously.

- Which doesn't help us,
'cause we still don't have

any proof that she
contacted the dean.

- No, we don't, but it wouldn't
be that hard for me to get.

- No, it could be a setup.
It's too risky.

- This whole goddamn thing
is too risky,

but right now Rachel's future
is in jeopardy,

and if I have to risk tacking on
a few years to save her,

is not even a close call.

- All right.
Do what you have to do.

Just don't get caught.

[knocking]

- You're knocking.

That means it's either bad news
or you want something.

- I couldn't get the department.
- Don't tell me.

They said we're in no position
to poach anybody.

- That's exactly what they said,

right before they
offered me a job.

- So you're here to tell me
you took it.

- I'm here to ask you
if you want me to take it.

- What the hell difference
does it make what I want?

- Jessica, when I left Boston,
people said I was a traitor

and that I thought I was
too good for my own hometown.

Well, it wasn't true.

But I knew the real test for me

wasn't making it
in my own hometown.

It was making it
in the toughest city

in the world, and as far
as I'm concerned,

I haven't done that yet.

- You want to be made
name partner.

- I wanna know if it'll ever
even be on the table.

- I could say yes
to that right now,

but how would you know
you could trust me?

- I have no other choice.

[dramatic music]

- And how do I know
I can trust you?

What's this?
- You know what it is.

- It's what Daniel Hardman
has on you.

- Now you have it too.

- David Green.

- What are you doing here?

- So you do remember me.

- Of course I do.

You're the guy
we're prosecuting.

The fake lawyer.

- Oh, I'm more than that
and you know it.

- What are you talking about?

- You hired me
because I'm smart.

What you don't know is that
I have a photographic memory,

which means I have
your drivers license number

from seven years ago memorized.

Not that it matters, because
I also made a copy.

Like I made a copy of all
my clients' licenses.

- That doesn't prove anything.

- Maybe not, but I also remember
every answer I put down

on a 104 question test.

If that's not proof,
I don't know what is.

- What do you want?

- I want proof that Anita Gibbs'
pressuring the Dean of Columbia

to expel Rachel Zane.

- I can't do that.
- Yes, you can.

- Okay, they went
to law school together.

There's your connection.

- Circumstantial public record
not good enough.

- I do what you're asking
and get caught,

and my career at the U.S.
Attorney's office is over.

- I give what I have
to the D.A.,

and your career as a lawyer
is over.

- If you do that, you only
implicate yourself.

- Yeah, maybe
you didn't notice, asshole,

but I'm already on trial,
and now you're coming

after the woman I love.

And the truth is you don't
deserve to practice law.

Maybe I don't either,
but she does.

And, believe me,
when it comes to this,

I really don't give a shit
about me or you.

- And what if I can't find
what you're looking for?

- You know what, David?

You might not have been smart
enough to get 178 on the LSATs,

but I'm pretty damn sure
you're smart enough to do that.

- What's this?

- That's what you're gonna sign.

- This says you're dropping
a charge

of malicious prosecution
in exchange for me admitting

a sanctionable offense.

- And for backing the hell off
going after Rachel Zane.

- Is this a joke?
- No.

And neither is getting
the Dean of Columbia Law

to do your dirty work.

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

- You know exactly
what we're talking about.

And unless you want us
to tell the world

that you intimidated a witness

by colluding with your old
law school buddy,

you're going to sign that.

- You don't have
a shred of proof

that I had anyone do anything.

- I have a copy of an anonymous
tip sent to you,

saying I took the LSATs
for people,

and a record of a phone call
from your office

to the Dean of Columbia
ten minutes later.

- That's no proof of anything.

- It's proof enough for us
to sue Dean Herrick

for every penny he's ever made.

You think when we get him
in a deposition

he isn't gonna crack?

- You think you're pretty smart,
don't you?

- Smart enough to outwit
a U .S. Attorney.

- And if we can do it here,
what makes you think

we won't be able to do it
in court?

- Because court is not about
bullshit like this.

It's about facts.

And the fact is, you're not
a goddamn lawyer.

You got it done.

And relax,
