Previously, on "Suits":

It was years ago,

and it was only one time,

but Donna and I slept together.

I understand why you go after

the unattainable woman.

You are titillated by
what you cannot have.

But I can have her, Doc.

The only circumstances

under which you can have her

are if you choose to be
the bad boy.

This is the second time

that you haven't told me
the full truth

in as many conversations,

and right now, what I need
is some time to myself.

- Paula, please--
- No.

If you can't put
my need to process

over your need to feel okay

about yourself,

then I'm afraid
we'll never get past this.

Louis.

What are you do--

We're going into
your building,

and we're going in there
right now.

I'm ready to be your bad boy.

It was 12 years ago.

I've come so far.

I made peace with my mom,

and you're the one
that helped me with that,

not Donna.

So, the question is,

you still want to come with me?

I do, Harvey.

Hey.

Hey.

Want a cup of coffee?

Is it the morning?

You know, for someone
who doesn't cook,

you make surprisingly good
coffee.

As I recall, I made you
a delicious steak dinner

not too long ago.

Yeah, and we both know

that grilling isn't cooking.

Obviously, you've never had

a double Whopper with cheese.

True, but I can't imagine

it has anything on this coffee.

Put something extra in it,
don't you?

Vanilla.

What?

Paula,

I know the last few days
have been rough,

but I promise you,
from now on,

I'm not gonna keep
something important from you

just because I'm scared.

Thank you, Harvey.

What do you say
we go out tonight,

have a nice dinner,

and remind ourselves

why we're together
in the first place?

Yeah, that'd be nice.
I'd like that.

Shit.

My cell's in the living room.

I know someone's there.

You should know,
I'm armed and dangerous,

so get out now
while you still can.

This is your last chance.

I have a gun,
and I'm ready to use it.

Good.

But that's not the gun
I'm here for.

So you better be
locked and loaded,

because your only choice now

is to fill me with lead.

Oh, my gosh,
this is so hot.

Louis, stay in character.

I'm the burglar.

I-I got it.

And you're about to be
stripped clean.

Yeah, I am.

What are you gonna
make off with, you thief?

My money?
My bonds? My jewels?

Oh,
I'm after your jewels.

And it looks like

I found them!
- Holy shit.

Sheila, I can't help it.

I love it when you--
- Ah, ah, ah.

Rule 29.

No L word.

I wasn't using it in--

We were very clear
on the rules, Louis.

We wrote the Bill of Badness.

It outlined your
lack of rights,

and you signed it.
- Sorry.

I don't know what came over me.

It's okay.
You're forgiven.

But do it again,

and next time,
we play prisoner... guard.

Well, then,
I will do it again.

Good,

'cause I already got my Taser.

Teddy, what are you
doing here?

I thought you were off
sailing around the world.

And I thought you were in
the office down the hall.

Then I guess the news
didn't make it to Macau.

Jessica's out.
I'm Managing Partner.

Louis is number two,
and Donna's our new COO.

Oh, glad to hear some people
still get rewarded

for loyalty and hard work.

- What does that mean?
- It means I got a call

from the crew captain
at my old factory.

Apparently, Adidas got an offer
they couldn't refuse,

sold the company to
Kurt Baxter.

Teddy, there's no way
that guy

keeps your company intact.

Why do you think I'm here?

Baxter's gonna ship
all the labor overseas,

which means my guys
are permanently out of work.

I get that you want to
stop this,

but you sold the company,

and they sold it
to someone else.

We don't have a legal leg
to stand on.

Harvey, I built my company
on those guys' backs.

I gave them my word
that they'd be protected.

If I let them get tossed out,

I'm as bad as Baxter.

Now, I know I'm asking for
the impossible, but...

isn't the impossible
what you do?

All right, Teddy.
I'll see what I can do.

Hey,
whatever you're working on,

what's the timeline?

Uh, it's not urgent,
if that's what you're asking.

So why are you asking?

Teddy Doyle just came
to see me.

I thought he retired.

He did, but

situation's come up,

and he asked for my help.

What kind of situation?

The kind that includes
Kurt Baxter

buying his old company

and laying off
the whole factory.

And if you're coming to me

to stop Baxter from doing that,

it must mean that there is
no way we can.

Just like there was no way
for you

to sue your own client
in a class action,

or get into
the New York State Bar

after going to prison.

You're right, I do leap
tall buildings

in a single bound.

Good call,
coming to me for help.

That's why I'm
Managing Partner.

Harvey, why doesn't Teddy
just buy his company

back from this bastard,
call it a day?

Because Teddy sold it
for 200,

Baxter wants 500,

and unless you got
an extra 300 mil laying around,

he doesn't have the money.
- Well, that's it.

What do you got?

Baxter doesn't care
where he makes his money from.

He just cares that it's green.

So we need to figure out

how to make more money

keeping the factory open
than closed,

and those workers are safe.

And I might still have time
to fly around the city tonight.

You know I'm not just
gonna let you

keep calling yourself Superman
and get away with it, right?

Because that only leaves you
with Aquaman?

He can breathe underwater.

All right, fine, Harvey.
You can still be Batman.

Or Green Lantern,
or Wonder Woman.

I can just keep doing this.
How about Hawkman, huh?

Okay.
The Silent Man it is.

Gretchen.

What are you
bellowing about now?

Oh, I don't know.
Maybe the fact that

I'm sitting here with
a freshly blended prunie,

30 minutes to myself,
and no morning newspaper?

That's because when I went
to get you one, they were out.

Well, then,
why don't you go to

the newsstand down the street?

'Cause I'm your secretary,
Louis,

not the paper boy,
and that's that.

No, that is not that,
because a day hasn't gone by

that I haven't read
the newspaper since I was nine.

So if it's all the same to you,

I'll go out and
find one myself.

Louis, wait.
They had the paper.

I just didn't want you
to see it.

Why not?

Because there's an
announcement in there, Louis.

That Sazs woman's
getting married

in less than a week.

I know that, Gretchen,

and I appreciate your concern,

but I've accepted
that she is moving on,

and so am I.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna go downstairs

and get the newspaper.

You're still tapping that,
aren't you?

Say what?

Don't lie to me.
You got a big old grin

one second after mentioning
that woman moving on.

- It was not a grin.
- I don't care what it was.

You're dipping your pudding pop

in someone else's candy cane.

That doesn't even
make any sense.

Louis Jr.'s having himself
a slumber party.

Okay, please do not
call him that.

Johnny-ready-to-go's

snazzing round
the neighborhood.

All right, fine!
So what if I am?

So nothing.

So you're not gonna tell me
that this is a huge mistake?

It's a mistake, but since
you're already making it,

we might as well skip the part

where I tell you
that you're crazy

and get to the part
where disaster ensues.

It's not going to ensue,
Gretchen,

because I know what I'm doing

and I can live
with my decision.

You know, I don't even
need the newspaper anymore,

so if you don't mind,

I'm gonna finish up
my prunie

and I'm gonna make plans

for my slumber party
with my pudding pop.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Do you mind if I ask
what you're working on?

Uh, actually,
I'm in the middle of

doing the impossible
for Harvey.

But doing the impossible
is not gonna keep me out of

Father Walker's office
at 7:00 p.m. tonight,

which is exactly what you
came in here to remind me of.

You think you know me
so well, don't you?

Some might say better than
you know yourself.

Okay, then tell me,

what am I going to ask you
right now?

"How'd you get
so damn handsome?"

"Have you been working out?"

"Tell me the truth:
is it the working out

that's made you
so damn handsome?"

- Mike...
- You're about to ask me

if I've had time to get to
the questionnaire yet,

and I haven't,
but it is right... here.

- Mike, Father Walker said
it's important

for each of us to write down
what we want as a couple

and where we see
our lives going.

- I know,
which is why I promise

to have it filled out
by tonight.

- Thank you.

- Well?

- Well, what?

- You got something?

- Let me get this straight.

You asked me to do
the impossible,

and then 15 seconds later,

you just assume

I came up with
a brilliant idea?

- So you came
all the way down here

to tell me
you got nothing?

- Would I do that?
- You've done it before.

- And I'll do it again,
but not today.

- It's good, Mike.

Did you do it yet,
or did you just think of it?

- It's done.

- How'd you manage that?

- Well, I went back to
my roots.

People love Teddy.
They care about him.

I decided to use that
to our advantage.

- That's good.

It's what I'd do.

- Then why didn't you?

- And miss out on all of this?

- Yeah, this isn't so good,
you know.

- You say that now,
but someday,

you're gonna miss me, buddy.
Trust me.

- Am I?
- Nothing lasts forever.

Come on.

Let's go save some jobs.

- I love this part.

- Louis,

I thought we agreed
you can't call me here.

- I don't care
what we agreed on.

I want you, and I'm not
gonna be denied.

- What?

- You heard me.

My neighborhood watch
won't be on patrol

tomorrow night,

and I'm prime for
another break-in.

- Okay, Louis,

as much as your
lack of security excites me,

I can't tomorrow.

I have to work.

- Well, then watch out
for the janitor,

because he's coming
to clean your office,

and it's very, very dirty.

- Louis, I can't.

I need to review
some application files

since I got to work late

this morning.

- You negligent hussy.

Sounds like someone
needs a spanking.

- Louis, this bad boy thing
is really working for you.

- Call me "Louis" again,

and I'm gonna smack that a--

- Oh, my God,

this is so powerful.

- In that case,
forget the janitor.

The Dean of Admissions

is coming to check on your work

tomorrow night, Miss Sazs.

- Ah.

You mean Dean Hans
Von Schlongenhammer?

I see you heard of me,

and those papers
better be in order, Miss Sazs,

or you're going to get a hammer
from the schlongen.

- Well, in that case,
I will be unprepared

for an inspection
at 8:30 sharp.

Wait, can we make it 7:30?

Because I have a prostate exam
in the morning.

- What do you think?

- It's a hell of a view.

- Better be.

Remember that building
on the corner of 57th?

It was blocking the park,

so I bought it,
then I tore it down.

- Is that what you
plan on doing

with Teddy Doyle's company?

- It's not Teddy Doyle's
company--it's mine.

Now what can I do
for you gentlemen?

- Actually,
it's more of an issue

of what we can do for you.

- Then get to the point.

- We know that
you're planning on

shipping those
manufacturing jobs overseas.

What if we told you that
instead of doing that,

we'd cut a deal
with Teddy's old suppliers

that would lower your costs
by 30%

in exchange for
a five-year contract?

- I'd say thanks,
but no thanks.

- Did you hear what I said?

That would increase
your cash flow by 80%.

- So what?

- Kurt, I understand you not
giving a shit about people

when it makes you money,

but not doing this
costs you money.

- No, it doesn't,

because I don't just want
more cash flow.

I wanna sell the company,

and China's not gonna buy it

unless those jobs
come along with it.

- Well, if you just
wanna sell,

then why the hell'd
we take this meeting?

- Because I didn't think
the mighty Harvey Specter's

going to come down here,
groveling for a few jobs.

I thought he was going to come
down here to match their price,

because I'll let you in
on a secret.

Paying me what I want

is the only way those jobs
are staying here.

Enjoy the view.

- Harvey, listen to me.
- No, you listen to me.

I'm not gonna stop because

some asshole with a view
wants a bidding war.

We'll find another way.

That was the other way.

Harvey, I know that
Teddy's your friend,

but he walked away.

And he wouldn't have
done that

if he'd known those workers

wouldn't be able to
feed their families.

You, of all people,
should relate to that.

And you, of all people,
know that emotion

shouldn't be mixed
with business.

You two want to let me in
on what's going on?

Donna, I don't have time to--

Teddy caught me up on
what's happening, Harvey,

including the fact that
he asked you to do something

you have no standing to do,

so I'm here to find out
what you're getting us into.

There's nothing
to get into, Donna,

because unless Teddy
suddenly finds enough money

to match the Chinese,
it's over.

Unless he doesn't need
more money.

What the hell
are you talking about?

I'm saying we push the price
back down

to what Teddy sold it for

and we get Stu Buzzini
to help us do it.

You're talking about
shorting his stock.

You think Baxter hasn't done

the same thing
a thousand times?

I don't care how many times
he's done it.

Putting downward pressure
on a stock

just to help a takeover attempt
is illegal.

We can't ask Stu to do that.

It's not illegal.
Nobody's going to jail.

It's a civil violation.

All we have to do
is convince Stu of that.

And how exactly
are we gonna do that?

We go to Louis.

Stu trusts him,
and he's an expert

on Securities Law.

Harvey, this isn't
a good idea.

You don't have to get Louis.
I'll do it.

- Donna--
- Harvey, I know Stu.

This isn't about convincing him

with legal arguments.

This is about
appealing to him personally,

and nobody here can do that
better than me.

Donna,

you sure you want to do this?

I'm sure I've seen
that look in Harvey's eye,

which means someone's gonna do
it, whether I like it or not,

and I'm also sure,

if anybody can convince Stu,

it's me.

Gretchen! Hi.

However long

300 collated copies

of Miller v. Georgia takes,

that's how long I'll be.

That's not what
I was going to ask.

I wanted to know
if Louis is seeing someone.

Say what now?

If he isn't seeing someone,

then I don't want to
make him feel badly

by including a plus-one,

but if he is seeing someone,

then I don't want to be rude

by not including a plus-one.

Oh, he's seeing someone,
all right.

What does that mean?

W-What now?
I forgot

your original question.
- No, no, no,

you just said
he's seeing someone

in a way that clearly means
you know something.

I'm sorry,
I can't hear you

over this rickety copier.

So that's how this
is gonna be, huh?

What are you not telling me?

Louis is sleeping with
Sheila Sazs

behind her fiancé's back.

I told him he was crazy.

God only knows what goes on

in that man's soul.

Now can you plug that thing
back in, please?

I got copying to do.

Didn't anyone ever tell you

that staring at screens
is bad for the eyes?

Didn't anyone ever tell you

that you're good for the eyes?

Only every day.

It's good to see you, Donna.
To what do I owe the pleasure?

I'm here to discuss
a business opportunity.

Then I'm all ears,
because the last time

you came to me with
one of those, I made a killing.

Well, then get ready
to make another one

by shorting Doyle Shoes.

Doyle Shoes is about
to be sold at

an 80% premium.

Is it?

Okay, what's going on here,
Donna?

What do you know that I don't?

I know that if you short
that stock,

you'll make a fortune,

and a good man
will get his company back.

And driving a stock price
down to help with a takeover

is an SEC violation.

It's a risk to make money.
It's what you do.

Not that kind of risk.
Not my license.

And keeping your license

won't stop you

from being dethroned.

You say my guys
are coming after me?

Look around.

Every single one of these guys

is a young you,
looking to take you down.

Traders are gunslingers, Stu,

and gunslingers
don't follow people

who never sling a gun.

You guarantee I'm gonna make
a ton of money on this

and not get caught?
- I'm not gonna lie to you.

You might lose your license,

but like I said,

you're not in this
for the money,

and sooner or later,
you stop taking risks,

you're not gonna
be king anymore.

Mom, hey.

Am I interrupting?

No, I'm just doing some work.

Well, I'm just getting ready
to come down there.

You coming to the city?

Yeah, just for tonight.

I know it's last-minute,

but I was hoping you might be
available for dinner.

Dinner?

Yeah, you know,

the meal people usually eat in
the evening?

Yeah, I know what dinner is,
Mom.

Would you like to have some?

Of course I would.
It's just that

I have plans tonight with
the woman I've been seeing,

and we've just gone through
a little something,

and I--
- Say no more, Harvey.

Just tell me her name
in case I talk to Marcus.

It'll be fun to have the scoop
on him.

Her name's Paula, Mom.

Why don't you join us?

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'd love to have you,

and uh, I'm sure she would,
too.

Then I'd love to.

Just tell me where and when.

Louis.

Do you have a minute?

For you, Rachel,

always.
What's on your mind?

Well, I was just
on my way out,

and I don't really know
how to say this,

but--
- Rachel, what's going on?

Okay, look.

I don't know if

you're seeing anyone right now,
or not,

but I just wanted you
to know that

no matter who it is,

if they make you happy,

then they are more than welcome

to come to our wedding.

Gretchen told you,
didn't she?

Yeah, she may have told me.

But Louis, you were the one
that told me

that Sheila came to you
in the first place,

and I told you then

that no matter
what you decided,

it wasn't going to change
the way I feel about you,

and I just want you to know
that it hasn't.

Um, Rachel,
I appreciate that,

but Sheila and I
can't be seen in public,

and to tell you the truth,

I wouldn't change that.

- You wouldn't?
- No.

In fact, for the first time
in my life,

I have confidence.

I feel like a king.

Well...

Louis, it is my pleasure
to inform you

that I officially rescind

your plus-one.

Thank you, Rachel.

I appreciate you understanding.

Well, hello, you.

- Am I interrupting?
- No.

I was just finishing up
my notes for the night.

Good, because
there's something

I want to ask you.

What is it?

I know that tonight

was supposed to be
just for us,

but my mom's gonna be in town
for the night,

and I was hoping that
maybe she could join us.

Harvey, I'd love to
just say yes, but...

What is it?

Well, having dinner
with your mother

would be a big thing,

and we just went through
a big thing.

That thing
wasn't a good thing.

This would be.
- I know--it's just,

are you sure this is
the perfect time?

Paula, I may not have

a lot of experience
in this arena,

but is there such a thing
as a perfect time

to meet someone's mother?

No, you're right.

Of course she can join us.

Now I have to go.

I need to figure out
what I'm gonna wear.

Wear the dress
with the thing.

She'll love it.

How do you know?

Because I love it.

I'm looking forward to it,
Harvey.

I'll pick you up at 8:00.

Harvey.

Baxter's on the phone,
line two.

What do you mean,
line two?

What are you,
my secretary now?

He called me.
I transferred it to you.

I thought we could
do this together.

You know how to transfer?

How'd they teach you that?

I always drop the call.

Okay, well,
he's gonna drop the call

if you don't pick up line two.

Kurt, it's Harvey Specter.

How are you?
What can I do for you?

What the hell
do you think you're doing?

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Bullshit.
You're trying to tank my stock

and make my sale go away.

Kurt, Mike Ross again.

Listen, we have no knowledge
of that, but if we did,

I think we'd just be
taking a page

from the Kurt Baxter playbook.

You really think this is

gonna work on me, huh?

What I think is,
you're a smart man

who knows when
to cut his losses

and take the deal
that's on the table.

And what the hell deal
is that?

As I see it,
you got two deals.

You could take
the supplier deal

Mike and I made for you

and put a small fortune
in your pocket...

- Or.
- Or you can take

the $200 million

that our client
is prepared to offer

for controlling interest
in his company,

and you can keep the 30%.

You sons of bitches.

That is blackmail,

and I'm not gonna let you
get away with it.

And if you want the SEC

to go through your books
with a fine-toothed comb

to make your case,

you go right ahead,

but this offer
isn't gonna last forever,

so in the meantime,

my client's got financing
to arrange.

All right, Baxter's gonna
have to

wait till tomorrow.
I've got plans.

Uh, me too.
What do you have going on?

You're never gonna
believe this.

I've got dinner with
my mother and Paula.

- Oh.
- How about you?

I have a sit-down with Rachel
and Father Walker.

You wanna trade places?

You do mine, I'll do yours.

Tell you the truth,
I'm looking forward to mine.

Wow, you are so not the guy

that I said would never have

a lasting relationship
of any kind.

You say that
like it's a bad thing.

Kind of is.

Ah, you miss your buddy.

- Ha, ha.
- Is that what this is?

Shut up.
Go to your stupid dinner.

So I know that they said

we shouldn't
look at each other's answers

until Father Walker's here,

but I'll show you mine

if you show me yours.

Rachel, I didn't fill it out.

What do you mean,
you didn't fill it out?

I mean, I read it
and I thought about it

like I said I would, but when
I tried to fill it out--

Mike, what's the matter
with you

that you can't take the time
to fill out a form?

It wasn't about the time.

I didn't fill it out because
I can't answer

questions about the future

because... I don't know

what I want.
I'm not a planner.

Well, I am,

and when I looked at it,

I realized that I have spent

so much time worrying about

trying to
keep you out of prison

and how to get into the Bar

that I never stopped to wonder

if we really want
the same thing.

Okay, so then what if I say

I want whatever you want?

I'd say if you
really wanted that,

you would have put it
on the form.

Did I interrupt something?

Would you like me
to give you a few minutes?

No.

I'd say we're here
for counseling,

it looks like
we could use some.

Let me guess.

You two don't want

exactly the same things
out of life.

Worse than that,
we don't know what we want

because Mike didn't fill out
the form.

And why is that?

Because answering questions
about the future

makes me feel locked in.

Okay, but see, this is what
I don't understand.

You're locked into me.

And I love
being locked into you.

All I'm saying is,

why can't we just
live our lives

for a while
and see what happens?

Good.

What do you mean, good?

I mean, there's a reason

we start with
these questionnaires,

and the truth is,

the couples that
I worry about the most

are the ones that seem to have
the same answers

to every single question.

So you're saying we win
because we fight?

No, I'm saying you win

because you're honest
with each other.

And I think we're done
for the night.

But we've barely
done anything.

Rachel, he's letting us
out of school.

Don't ask for homework.

Ah, I didn't say
there wouldn't be

any homework, Michael,

and before next time,

I hope you find some ways

to talk about the future

without feeling

locked into an outcome.

And then,

he just climbed up on the piano

and started singing.
- No, no.

Yeah. Six years old.

Right in the middle
of the dinner party.

My goodness.
What did you do?

Well, the only thing
we could do.

Gordon grabbed his sax

and gave him some backup.

You never told me
you could sing.

Because he can't.

Aw.

For the record,

that question
was directed at me.

And somehow, I'm confident
it was answered correctly.

Thanks, Mom.

Anyway,

as much as I would love

to keep embarrassing Harvey,

I should get back.

Paula, thank you so much

for letting me intrude
on your evening.

It has been a pleasure.

No, Lily,
the pleasure was all mine.

I can't tell you how happy I am

to have finally met you.
- Me too,

especially since I have you
to thank for this evening.

Oh, no, well, tonight
was actually Harvey's idea.

I think what my mom meant was

that you were gracious enough

to let her come to dinner
tonight.

No, I meant

when you and I
mended our fences,

you said the only reason
you did it

was because someone special
in your life

encouraged you to.

Well, it's obvious
that someone was Paula.

I just put my foot
in my mouth somehow, didn't I?

Well, it's not your fault,

but I think it just so happens

I am not the special person

that Harvey was talking about.

Thought you could use a snack.

You know me so well.

Some may say,
better than you know yourself.

Rachel, about tonight...

- Bullshit.
- What?

I thought you liked
Father Walker.

I'm not saying that
his advice was bullshit.

I'm saying, my parents
have a word they use

when they want to talk about
the future in a safe way.

If they say "bullshit,"
then they both know

that anything
they say afterwards

is... hypothetical,

and they won't be
locked into it.

Your parents have
the same problem we do?

You should've seen
how they used to fight about

where to go on vacation,

let alone what to do
with their money.

Do you want to try it now?

No, I don't,

because I just don't want

to get into
another fight with you.

To tell you the truth,

I kind of love it
when we fight.

- Do you?
- Not while it's happening,

but Rachel,

we don't fight about things

like who didn't take
the garbage out

or who forgot
to turn the lights off.

We fight about things like
whether or not

I should take a case
to protect prisoners

at the expense of my
relationship with Harvey,

and the only reason we do that

is because you love me

and you care about me,
and yes,

maybe you do know me
better than I know myself.

Wow, maybe we should
try this now.

No, you were right.

Think we've done enough growing
for one night.

Paula,

about what my mom said--

you were right.

I wasn't talking about you

when I told her that, but...

you... are the special woman
in my life now, and--

I know that, Harvey, but--

But what?

I know you know
that Jacob cheated on me,

but what you don't know is

it happened with a woman

that he worked with.

They worked at clinic together,

and they became close friends.

So that's why Donna
bothers you so much.

I know that I told you that

I could handle you having her
in your life,

but I don't think I can.

- But I told you, I--
- Please, Harvey.

I hate that I feel this way.

I hate that I feel weak,

and insecure,

and that my last relationship

is affecting this one,

but most of all,

I hate that I am about to say

what I told myself I wouldn't.

What is it?

When I took the time
to process what you told me,

I did a role-play in therapy,

and when I did,

I told you that I'm afraid

if you keep working with Donna,

we won't survive.

Are you asking me
to fire her?

I don't know what I'm asking,

but it feels like there are
three people

in this relationship,

and the last time it felt
that way, there were.

- Paula--
- I'm sorry, Harvey.

I just can't do that again.

You calling with another
stock tip?

Because it looks like
that last one's

about to make me a fortune.

I'm calling you to tell you
to get out.

We're about to make a deal,

and it's gonna turn around.

Message received.
Hey, do me a favor.

Tell Donna
the gunslinger's back.

I don't get it.

She'll know what it means,
and not for nothing.

Promoting her
was a brilliant move.

What makes you say that?

Are you kidding me?
She could

talk the stripes off a zebra,

she's loyal,
and she knows the big picture

about keeping people happy.

If I were you,

I'd hold on tight.

Thanks, Stu.

Thanks again for the tip,
Harvey.

You ready to do this?

Yeah.

Let's go.

All right, Baxter, we're here.

So you want to sign this thing
with your pen or mine?

You can keep your shitty pen,

just like you can keep
your shitty deal.

If you think you could
call us here

to renegotiate
a price last-minute--

I didn't call to renegotiate.

I called to see if you'd come
at my command,

and here you are.

- All right, listen to me.
- No, you listen to me.

Sale's not happening.

Wait, you're passing
on Teddy's offer?

I'd sooner wipe my ass
with Teddy's offer.

Bullshit.
You turn him down,

you're turning down hundreds
of millions of dollars,

and you're not in the business
of losing money.

I'm also not in the business
of letting assholes

get the better of me,

so I'm gonna hold on
to my company,

I'm gonna ship those jobs
overseas,

and I don't give a shit
if I take a bath doing it.

You're really
that vindictive?

Nice to meet you.
Name's Kurt Baxter.

But I'm not doing this
out of spite.

I'm doing this because
when word hits the street

that I'm willing to lose
200 mil

just to stick it to some guys

who are trying to stick it
to me, the next guy--

We're not trying to
stick it to you.

We're trying to make a deal,

and we put two of Th the t,

so if you don't want to sell--

I'm not taking
door number two,

but if you're serious
about coming to terms,

I just might be open
to renegotiating after all.

Son of a bitch.

That's what you really
called us to say, isn't it?

Teddy Doyle wants my company,

he doesn't just match
the Chinese.

He beats them by 25%,
'cause my rules are,

you come to play,
hard,

and if you don't like it,
get the hell off my court.

- Hello.
- Oh, I'm glad you picked up,

Harvey.

I wanted to apologize.

Mom, you don't have to
do that.

Yes, I do.

We finally made peace,

and I go and do
something like that.

Listen to me.

Paula said it, and I agree,

it's not your fault.
You couldn't have known.

It is my fault.

It's the kind of stupid thing

stupid mothers do.

Mom, don't worry about it.

I'm gonna be fine.

Please tell Paula again

how much I enjoyed
meeting her.

She's a keeper.

I gotta go, Mom.

I love you, Harvey.

I love you, too.

Hey,for a second?

We need to tell Stu,

and we need to tell Teddy.

I talked to Stu

before we went over there.
He's out.

And Teddy?

Take the day.

Think of anything you can.

If not, I'll tell him tomorrow.

Hey, I need to meet you.

I need a favor,
and I need it soon.

Hey, Red.
Nice digs.

Stu, what are you
doing here?

I came to thank you
for what you did.

It actually got me thinking,

my office could use
someone like you.

Mm, couldn't everyone?

But as you know,
use of The Donna

is limited to
this office alone.

I wasn't talking about
The Donna.

I was talking about Donna.

- This is a job offer.
- It is,

and I think the numbers on it

will show you that I'm serious.

Stu, I would be lying
if I said this offer

wasn't flattering, but--
- Then take it.

I don't live under a rock,
Donna.

I heard about Andrew Malik
saying that

you don't deserve a job
like this.

I don't care what
that son of a bitch said.

I deserve everything I have.

Then come over to me
and prove that to the world.

I don't know anything
about the world of finance.

You didn't know anything
about the legal world

when you started, either,

but I'm not hiring you
to make trades.

I'm hiring you to do
what you do

better than anyone
on the planet,

because, like I told Harvey
to tell you,

the gunslinger's back.

He didn't tell me that.

Well, he is,

and he needs someone
watching his flank.

I'll think about it.

That's all I can ask.

You better be ready,
Miss Sazs,

'cause I'm ready to--

Louis.

What are you doing here?

I came to discuss
the recruits

that we talked about earlier.
I'm sorry.

I didn't know that
you had company.

Of course.
Louis, this is my fiancé,

Zander.
Zander, Louis.

Hey.

Zander, is it?
- Yeah.

Like I said, I was excited
about the recruits

that we spoke about earlier.

I didn't want to let any
of them get snapped up, s--

but I can see you're busy.

Of course.
We can talk about it

on the phone... tomorrow.

Tomorrow it is.

Sorry to interrupt.

It's nice meeting you.
- Likewise.

That was weird.

Not at all what I imagined.

I mean, with the jacket...

And the glasses
and that bow tie.

I mean, what'd you see in him?
- I know.

What do you say
we get some Chinese?

Sounds good.

I'm starving.

Donna, whatever it is,
can it wait?

Because I need--
- No, it can't wait, Harvey,

because Stu Buzzini
just offered me a job.

- He what?
- You know what.

You can skip the part
where you pretend

you weren't the one
who asked him

to make that offer
in the first place.

How'd you know?

'Cause he gave me
some bullshit

about what Andrew Malik
did to me,

and there's no way
he'd know that

if you didn't tell him.

Does Stu know you know?

I don't want to answer
questions anymore, Harvey.

I want to know why you did it.

Because Paula said
she doesn't think we'd survive

if you and I
keep working together.

Thought we were over that.

Well, she's not.

Then why didn't you
come to me

and explain the situation?

Or even have the balls
just to fire me?

I could never fire you.

Well, this doesn't feel
any different, Harvey,

'cause I don't want
to go work with Stu.

I want to stay here
in the position

that I fought to get
and that I love

and that I know I deserve.

I know you do, too.

Then why didn't you
stand up for me?

Because you put me
in this position.

It was one mistake, Harvey.

One...

in 13 years.

Now I'm gonna lose my job
because of it?

Donna, what do you want me
to say?

I would've wanted you
to tell her

that after everything
we've been through,

making me leave isn't fair.

I would've wanted you
to come to me,

instead of going to Stu
behind my back,

but most of all, I want you
to be there for me now,

like I've been there for you
every single day.

Do you think
I don't hate this?

I do you think I haven't
wracked my brain,

trying to figure
some other way out of it?

Because I have, Donna,

but I don't see one.

Maybe I do.

Come in.

I hope you don't mind.
Harvey told me that you had

a half-hour break
at this time of night.

- I do, but--
- Please.

Paula, just hear me out.

Okay.

I'm sorry I did what I did.

I made a terrible mistake,

and... I apologized to Harvey,

but I didn't apologize to you.

I'm sorry, Paula.

I'm so sorry.

I appreciate your apology,
Donna,

but if you're asking me
to change my mind--

I'm asking you

not to put me in a position

to leave the job that I love,

a job that feels like

I've worked my whole life
to get.

I'm asking you as a woman

and as a professional,

please don't do that.

I want to say yes to you,
but can you swear to me

that nothing like that
will ever happen again?

That.

That right there is why
I said what I said to Harvey

in the first place.

I'm sorry, Donna.
I wish it weren't so,

but it is.

Can I come in?

Depends.
You only come in person

when it's really good news
or really bad.

So which is it?

Why don't you pour me
a cup of coffee,

and I'll tell you inside?

I can't fix it, Teddy.
I'm sorry.

Look, if you want,

I'll call your guy
at the factory

and I'll tell him myself.

No, I'll tell him.

It was my word I gave,
not yours.

This isn't your fault.

You can't blame yourself.

Those guys had bled for me,
Harvey.

All they did wrong
was be loyal to me.

I know how you feel.

No offense, Harvey,
but I don't think you do.

Teddy, I never told you this,
but a few years ago,

there was a case
against the firm.

Donna did something
to protect me,

and... it looked like
it might be illegal,

and Jessica had to
fire her for it.

Well, it turned out,
it wasn't illegal,

and we got the whole thing
straightened out, but...

while she was gone...

So, maybe you do know
how it feels.

But you were able
to make it right.

First chance you got,
you made Donna COO,

a real partner.

I--that means something.

Wait, what did you just say?

I said it means something.

No, you said
I made her a partner.

So?

So, I think we may

have a way to fix this thing.

- Hey, how'd it go?
- Do you think we could

still get that deal
from Teddy's suppliers?

Yeah, but why would
we want to do that?

We'd only be
helping out Baxter.

No, we'd be
helping out Teddy.

What did you do?

I convinced him
to buy his company back

based on your suggestion
in the first place.

I thought you said
he didn't have enough capital.

He didn't,
but when you're willing

to offer equity partnership
to your employees,

it's amazing how much
you can raise.

The pension fund.

The pension fund.

And if we get the deal
with the suppliers,

that makes the company worth
the markup that Baxter wants.

- Exactly.
- I'll get on it.

What?

Nothing.
It's just--it's nice

to be on the right side
of a corporate case

for a change.

Sure is, Mike.

Sure is.

San Diego.

What?

Bullshit.

I want to live in San Diego.

By the beach,
or in the mountains?

See, this is the problem.
I don't know,

and I don't want
to get locked in.

Mike, bullshit can't
get you out of

locking yourself in.

Then I don't want to play.

Yes, you do.

All right.

We live in San Diego.

Mm-hm.

I'll get a job
running a clinic,

like Oliver and Nathan.

We surf every morning,

work two hours a day,

and love each other
all night.

Well, you catch on quickly.

Your turn.

Iceland.

Why would you want
to live in Iceland?

- Did I do that to you?
- Yes, you did.

You asked me about
the beach and the mountains.

No, no, no,
those were all positive things.

And I'm positive I don't want
to live in Iceland.

Okay, what if
I told you that...

I've been there before,

it is one of
the most beautiful places

in the world,

and living there together

for a year would be

the adventure of a lifetime?

God, you're good.

Oh, you have no idea.

Yeah, Rachel, I do.

"Dear Harvey,

"effective immediately,

"I, Donna Paulsen,

hereby resign from the firm."

"Make no mistake,
I wish I could stay,

but I know that I can't."

"Therefore, I thank you
for giving me the chance

"to be your
Chief Operating Officer.

I hope I proved myself
worthy of the title."

"Unfortunately, I didn't
prove myself worthy

"as your friend.

"I put myself first.

"Therefore, it's time
for me to go,

"though I will miss
working with you,

"and everyone at the firm,

more than I can say."

"Good-bye, Harvey.

Please consider this
my formal resignation."

Hey.

I didn't know
you were coming over.

I didn't know I was, either,

but I got in a cab,
and I ended up here.

You let Donna go.

She left her letter
of resignation on my desk.

I am sorry, Harvey.

You didn't make me do it.
I chose to.

And now,
I'm choosing to undo it.

I'm sorry, Paula.

I wanted this to work
more than you know,

but--

but I can't give you
what you need.

I hope you find someone
that deserves you.

Good-bye, Paula.

Good-bye, Harvey.

Harvey, what are you
doing here?

I came here to give you this.

Are you sure?

I am.

Does she know?

She does.

It's over.

Are you okay?

Will you come back?

Yes.

Then I'm okay.

See you tomorrow.

Do you want to come in?

Not tonight. No.

Harvey.

Thank you.
