Previously, on
"Suits"...

My name
is Andrew Malik.

While you were kissing
Cameron Dennis's ass,

I was putting the real
criminals away.

You may not have remembered me
then,

but you're sure as hell
gonna remember me now.

I just got a visit
from Sean Cahill.

There's a way
he can get you out.

- What's the catch?
- He needs you to inform

on your cellmate.

I've been after Sutter
for three years now.

This guy is one slippery
son of a bitch.

You pulled every string
you have to make this happen.

- You're gonna pull out now?
- I am,

'cause I'm not gonna put myself
in position

- to collude with you.
- You filed a countersuit

against
my explicit instructions?

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

You set me up.

I'm gonna make sure
the world knows.

You can tell the world
anything you want, William,

but you got no proof.

Either way,
I suggest you sign this deal.

Damn it, you said
you were gonna defend him

to the best of your ability.

And I meant it, but I also
knew, if push came to shove,

I'd do what I had to
to get Mike out.

So let's just admit
that we're in this together

and get this thing done.

You son of a bitch.

You got nothing on me because
there's nothing to have.

The only question is,
which of the many times

that you've crossed the line
am I planning

on exposing
to the world?

Sean,
what are you doing here?

I thought you said you
never wanted to see me again.

Believe me, Harvey,
I wouldn't be here

if Andrew Malik
hadn't just had me arrested.

- What?
- He's claiming we conspired

to swap Mike Ross
for William Sutter.

I'm here to get
our stories straight.

You want
our stories straight?

I'm representing you
as of right now.

Representing me?
What are you talking about?

You wearing a wire, Sean?

You think I'm here
to entrap you?

Don't act like
that's not possible.

You had me wear a wire
to nail Charles Forstman,

and now you're coming to me
out of the blue,

accusing me
of colluding with you.

You know what, Harvey?
You want to pat me down?

Feel free if that's
what you think of me.

What I think, Sean, is you
need to take me up on my offer.

And how is that gonna look?

You repping me when we've
been accused of colluding?

I don't give a shit
what it looks like.

You hire me,
we can talk about anything

and it's not admissible.

All right, Harvey.
You're my lawyer.

Now let's talk about the story.

Partner's log,
stardate 2-0-1-9:

The search
for a baby name continues.

We have arrived
at the letter I,

where Sheila
has sent me an email

with her top three choices.

Levi Litt.

Great idea, Sheila.
Was "Jewwy Jewstein" taken?

Linus Litt, otherwise known
as "Linus Vaginus,

the kid who died a virgin."

Esther.

What are you doing here?

I know it's late, Louis,
but I was hoping we could talk.

Of course.

Is this about the merger you
wanted me to take a look at?

- It is.
- Oh, well, guess what?

I did.

And the deal is
as solid as a rock.

So there's no reason
for my board to turn it down?

No.
Not a one.

Shit.

Esther, what's going on?

Louis, I'm gonna
tell you something.

You have to promise me
you're not gonna tell anyone

and you're not gonna lose
your head over it.

Esther, I don't understand.

15 years ago,
Paul Richmond assaulted me.

What?

But you always said he was
your mentor.

He stopped being my mentor
that night, Louis.

We were at a conference
in Miami.

He asked me to his room.

The next thing I knew,
his hands were all over me.

And when I pushed him away
and told him to stop,

he got angry,
said I'd been leading him on.

He started forcing himself
on me.

Then what happened?

I ran out there as fast
as I could,

went to my room,
and threw up.

I can't have him
in my company, Louis.

No, you can't.

Which is why you're going
to go to the board right now

and tell them what
that mother... did.

No.
I am not doing that.

Why not?

Because it happened
15 years ago.

And in case you haven't
noticed,

women who come forward
get put through a meat grinder.

- I know that, Esther, but...
- Louis,

I just told you
what happened

and the first words
out of your mouth were,

"But he was your mentor."

You're my brother,
and you said that.

What do you think
everyone else will say?

Well, I just can't let him
get away with it!

Louis, I know you want
to rip his head off,

but what I need from you
is to make this deal go away.

Before you say anything,
I'm sorry that I took so long.

What happened?
Did you pick the grapes yourself?

The first place didn't have
the bottle I wanted.

Ooh, '85 Côtes du Rhône.

This is an outstanding
bottle of wine.

There's also no way
it's the reason you took so long.

Donna,
what are you getting at?

You care about whiskey,
Harvey.

You don't give a shit
about wine,

which means that something
stopped you.

And if you're hiding it from me,
it must be serious.

All right.

I went out,
and when I got back,

Cahill was waiting.

Malik's coming after him

for conspiring with me
two years ago.

Oh, my God.
This is about Mike.

- It is, but Donna...
- Don't "but Donna" me.

Harvey, Andy Malik
doesn't care about Sean Cahill.

If he's doing this,
he's coming after you.

You think
I don't know that?

I know you know it,

but you didn't want
to tell me about it,

and I want to know why.

Because
I didn't want you to worry.

You mean because
you're worried.

If Sean didn't just agree
to let me represent him,

I would be.

But he did. So we're good.

"Good"? You don't even know
what Malik has.

Donna, I know what
we're up against,

but I can't have you
doubting me on this.

I'm not doubting you,
Harvey.

It's just
this whole thing hinges

on you and Sean
sticking together.

Do you really think
we can trust him?

That's what
I'm telling you.

We don't have any other choice.

Episode Title: "Prisoner's Dilemma"

Your Honor,
this is outrageous.

Sean Cahill can't be
represented by Harvey Specter.

They're using
attorney-client privilege

to get away with
the conspiracy

they engaged in
in the first place.

Not engaged in,
are accused of engaging in.

And how is it any different
than a joint defense agreement?

I'll tell you
how it's different:

you're setting this thing up
for a mistrial.

Because when I win,
that's exactly what he'll ask for.

Your Honor, I will resign
as Mr. Cahill's attorney

right now if he hands
this case over to someone else,

but he won't, because no one
else will touch it.

I'm not walking away
from a case

that I've been building
for eight months.

And if you're so sure
we did this,

why aren't you coming
after me?

Because I focus on
the bigger fish.

That's a load of crap.
You're not charging me

because you know
it'll look like a vendetta.

All right. That's enough.

Are you willing
to waive your right

to a mistrial, Mr. Cahill?

I am.

Then I'm afraid
he has a right

to his counsel of choice,
Mr. Malik.

And I want discovery documents
in his offices in an hour.

Hey, you think
he's gonna get you out of this,

but he doesn't care about you.

He only cares about himself.

If we're supposed to be
sticking together in this,

what the hell are you doing
volunteering to drop me?

Sean, I did it
to make a point.

He was never gonna
take me up on it.

And if he did,
I'd be in this alone.

So next time
you feel like freelancing,

why don't you
run it by me first?

Okay. I will.

Now let's get back
to the office,

because if I know Malik,

there's gonna be some kind of
curveball in that discovery.

Whatever it is you're doing,

I got something
more important.

In that case, I'm all yours.
What do you need?

A legitimate reason
to stop a merger from happening.

This is Esther's company.

It is, and she used
to work for the man

that runs the other company,

and let's just say
they are like oil and water.

If that's true, why does
he even want to merge with her?

Because my sister's
a brilliant businesswoman

and the easiest way for a
scumbag like that to make money

is to leech off of her success.

Now, do you want to help me
solve this or not?

- Of course I do.
- Good,

because a lawsuit'll
gum up the works,

but I don't see any grounds.

- What about other suitors?
- Nope. Too late for that.

Her board just got
proposed to,

and no one's walking in
with a bigger diamond.

Louis,
when it comes to diamonds,

bigger isn't always better.

There is cut,
there is color...

And there's clarity,

which means that 30% premium
is compensating for something.

Therefore, if we want
to tank this deal,

we just have to figure out
what it is.

Faye, if you're here
to thank me

for letting you off
the hook with the Bar,

I've got my hands full
at the moment.

According
to Andrew Malik,

you should have plenty
of time.

I don't believe this.
He called you?

Yes, he did.

He wants you off this case,
and I agree with him.

Okay.

I know you're not
a real attorney,

I'm gonna spell it out for you.

He's using you because
he knows I'm gonna beat him.

I don't care what he's doing.
I don't want you handling this.

I just went to court
to be able to represent Sean.

I'm not going to turn around
and drop him.

And I'm not saying we should.
I'll represent him.

You?

I could have two hands tied
behind my back

and cinder blocks at my ankles,
and I'd be better than you.

No, you wouldn't because
you colluded with the man.

Your interests are
at odds with each other.

In other words,
you think I did this.

I don't think you did it.
I read you did it.

What the hell
are you talking about?

Malik has an affidavit
from Kevin Miller

swearing that you conspired
with Sean Cahill

to get him and Mike Ross
out of prison.

You once told me you got
Mr. Miller out of a jam.

Well, now I know
what that jam was

and what it took
to get him out of it.

Well, you know what?
I'm not on trial here; Sean is.

And if you want to file
a motion denying my client

his attorney of choice,
then go right ahead.

But until then,
I've got actual work to do.

Louis! What a pleasure to
finally meet Esther's brother

after all these years.

I understand you have some
questions regarding the merger.

I'm not here
to ask questions, Paul.

I'm here to tell you
this merger is not happening.

Well, that's certainly
news to me.

Just like it was news to us

that your supplier
is on the brink of bankruptcy.

You're looking for a lifeline,

and that's what
this is really about.

What this is about is
two companies that have synergy

utilizing
their respective resources.

Well, you're gonna have to go
after someone else's resources

because as of right now,
ours are off-limits.

And I informed your board
of the supplier situation,

which makes me think

you're not here
on behalf of your client.

You're here on behalf
of your sister.

You're damn right I am.

Well, then,
this is inappropriate.

- Excuse me?
- I assured the board

I won't let her go.

Anything beyond that
is between she and them.

Well, according
to company bylaws,

we have one day
to reject this offer,

and I'm triggering that
right now.

You can't do that
without board approval.

Well, then I'll find
some other loophole

because you're not getting
anywhere near

my sister's company.

Well, then as far as
I'm concerned,

it's not your sister's
company anymore.

It's mine.

You piece of shit!
I know what you did!

And if you don't back off,

so help me,
I will come right after you!

I have no idea
what you're referring to.

15 years ago, asshole!

Miami.
You attacked her.

You know you did.

That's why you went to her
board and not her...

Because you knew
she would never agree.

And if that were true,

why did she stay with
my company for five more years

and is only now fabricating
this whole thing?

I'll tell you why: because
she's looking to save her job.

So unless you want
to defend her from slander,

you'll drop this.

Now get out of my office
before I call security!

- We've got a problem.
- You're damn right we do.

Was Mike Ross
really dumb enough

to straight up tell
his cellmate what we did?

He wasn't dumb, Sean.
We needed Kevin to trust us.

And that's another thing you
should've run by me,

'cause now I have to go tell
that ex-con

if he doesn't recant,
I'm gonna slap him

with a parole violation
and he's going back to prison.

And you do that, Malik will
get you for witness tampering.

I'm not gonna sit on
my hands and just do nothing.

You're right.
You're not.

Malik went over my head.

I think it's time
we went over his.

Why don't you bring
some of that SEC pressure

- to bear on him?
- I get it.

This is a vendetta,
and when it goes south,

it's gonna look as bad
for Malik's superiors

as it does for him.

In the meantime, I'll keep
wading through this shit,

because something
doesn't smell right.

What do you mean?

I mean the Sutter case
was in the public record

and so was Mike's release.

So why is Malik bringing it up
years later?

I don't know,
but the person that can shed light

on that very question
is Kevin Miller.

Harvey.

I can't say I'm surprised
to see you.

I may not be surprising you,
Kevin,

but you sure as hell
surprised me.

Look, if you wanna
call me an asshole,

- you might as well get to it.
- I'm not here to yell at you.

I'm here to find out
what the hell are you doing

playing ball with Andy Malik.

Harvey,
he said if he convicted Cahill

and we didn't cooperate,
he'd void the deal we made,

Jill would go to prison,
and I'd go with her.

And let me guess:

he gave you immunity
in exchange for talking.

And he made it contingent
on me not warning you about it.

I'm sorry, Harvey,
but I was backed into a corner.

You should have come to me
anyway.

You owed me that much.

I know I owe you.

That's why I didn't give Malik
everything.

He has my affidavit,
but he doesn't have proof.

The recording I made
of Sutter.

I didn't tell him it exists
and I'm not going to.

But if you're here
to get me to change my story,

that's as far as
my owing you goes.

Then answer one question.
We did this years ago.

Why didn't Sutter go
to Malik until now?

That's the thing.

I don't know who went to Malik,
but it wasn't him.

How can you know that?

Because Sutter died
eight months ago.

Here's what I don't get:

Malik couldn't know
any of this without Sutter,

which means
Sutter must have

reached out
to him before he died.

But... that was close
to a year ago,

and there's no reason

Malik would sit on this
for that long.

Then he must have found out
from someone else,

because there's no record
of any conversation

between Malik and Sutter ever.

That doesn't mean
it didn't happen.

It means Malik's hiding it.

Harvey, why would he expose
himself like that?

The case could
get tossed on a technicality.

He's played fast
and loose before.

Maybe he's doing it again.

He might be,
but not about this.

The warrant that Malik used
to go after Kevin Miller

had to show
probable cause.

It turns out
it was a deathbed confession

by Sutter to an informant
whose name was redacted.

Under what grounds?

To protect him
against retribution in prison,

which is what I wanted
to show you,

because the name of the prison
is gonna ring a bell.

Holy shit.

Pat me on the back later,
Harvey.

It's what needed to be done.

Well, what needs to be done
right now

is for me to go see
an old friend.

What the hell did you do?

I came to you to find me
a way out of this,

and the next thing I know,

my own board triggered
my buyout clause.

Shit.

You **** told him,
didn't you?

Esther, you weren't there.

- I tried not to say anything, but...
- God damn it.

I told you I didn't want
anyone to know about this.

Now I'm not only losing
my company,

but you gave the son of a bitch
responsible for it

the satisfaction of knowing
what it's done to me.

Esther,
I know I screwed up.

But I was in there
and he had us and he knew it,

and I just snapped.

But we can still get
this son of a bitch

if you just come forward.

What did you just say?

I should've insisted
this was the way

to handle this
in the first place.

You need to let the world know
what he did.

I told you
I am not doing that.

God damn it.

How could you give him
the satisfaction

of getting away with this?

Because he will get away
with it and I have children.

And what happens when they ask
why I went to his hotel room?

Why did you go
to his hotel room?

Because I'd known him
for years

and we've traveled together
50 times

and I never thought
he could do that.

Well, then say that.

How many times
do I have to tell you?

I don't want them
to twist what I say

and have it go in
the "Journal,"

and have to put my children
through that...

- Esther, don't...
- That's enough.

I came to you to protect me
like I protected you

a thousand times
when we were kids.

And I was dumb enough
to think that,

with a baby on the way,

you might finally understand

when something
matters to me.

But you don't.

So leave this alone
and leave me alone.

Harvey Specter.

Long time no see.

Sorry it's past your bedtime,
Charles.

Then again, beauty sleep
ain't fixing that.

What the hell
are you doing here?

You know why I'm here.
William Sutter.

- Never heard of him.
- Well, that's funny.

Because he transferred in here

the last six months
of his sentence

and then you became
an informant for Andrew Malik.

Oh, that William Sutter.

What about him?

I want you to admit
you set this whole thing up.

All right.

Nobody in prison
ever admits

to what they've
done,

but Sutter did.

- Because he knew he was dying.
- That's right.

He told me
some asshole sold him out.

And wouldn't you know it?

That asshole turned out
to be you.

Took me awhile to figure out

that you and Cahill were in on it,
but once I did,

I started looking around
for somebody

who hates you
as much as I do.

So yeah, I did this.

What you gonna do
about it?

Not a thing.

Because when I win,

whatever deal you cut
with Malik is gone.

Then again, if you said
you made this whole story up,

Cahill might just cut
your sentence in half.

So you need to ask yourself
who's coming out on top:

Malik or me?

The side I am on

is always gonna be
the side that's against you.

Louis.

- How much did you hear?
- Enough.

I wanted to tell you
what was really going on, Katrina.

I just couldn't.

I understand, Louis.

But what I think
what you may not be understanding

is that...
right now,

Esther
isn't just feeling angry.

She's feeling powerless
and ashamed.

- But she has the power.
- To do what?

She can't put him in prison.
It was too long ago.

Make him feel like
what he did was wrong?

That's never going to happen.

Louis, what Esther wants
is for us to find a way

to stop this
without telling anyone.

Well, then let's do that.

Faye won' let you take
your sister as a client.

Bullshit.
She's already a client.

No, the company
is our client,

and the board wants
this merger.

Esther doesn't.

Wh... What are you saying?

I'm saying
we need help.

Sean, tell me you got Malik's
boss to call off the dogs.

Call off the dogs?

I haven't even gotten
to him yet.

What are you waiting for?
An engraved invitation?

I just can't put pressure
on a man I haven't met with

without having someone
soften him up first.

And being under indictment

isn't the best time to be
calling in IOUs.

Screw the timing!

Sean, you need to have
those calls made tonight.

Harvey,
what happened with Forstman?

He didn't go for it,
and Kevin won't recant,

which means if you don't
make this thing go away,

we're going to trial
staring down the barrel

of a loaded shotgun.

So get it done.

All right, Sean,
what's this about?

Because you're on leave

and I shouldn't even
let you in here.

I need a favor.

If it has anything to do with
your case, I can't help you.

I need you to go
to Andrew Malik's boss's office

and read him the riot act
anyway.

- About what?
- Tell him it's nothing more

than a personal attack
against Harvey Specter.

And when he tells me I'm full
of shit and I've got no proof,

then what?
Tell him to check the record.

Malik hated Harvey.
He went after him three times.

And if that's not enough,
if Malik's not hiding a grudge,

why the hell didn't
he go after Harvey?

Okay, I'll do it.

But Sean, did it ever occur
to you that the person

who put you in this position
isn't Andrew Malik?

It's Harvey Specter.

Donna Paulsen.

I should have guessed Harvey
would send you here.

He didn't
send me anywhere.

In fact, I'm putting
my feelings about you aside

to try to end this thing.

Oh, this ought to be good.

Go ahead.
Give me your song and dance.

It's not a song and dance.

This thing that you have with
Harvey, it's consuming you.

And if you can't figure out
a way to let it go,

- it is not gonna end well.
- First a threat.

How about you move on
to begging?

I'm not threatening you,
Andy.

I'm warning you.

You've come after
Harvey twice before.

You lost and he let it go.

Well, he's not gonna
let it go this time.

- I'm not gonna lose.
- Yes, you are,

because you're not just
fighting Harvey.

You're fighting all of us.

I appreciate the warning.

But you go home
and you tell Harvey

that he better sleep well
while he can.

You're gonna have
to tell him that yourself.

I'm not gonna
see Harvey tonight.

He's too busy kicking your ass.

Samantha.
Glad you could make it.

- How you doing?
- I'm okay, Louis.

But you sounded upset
on the phone,

and I'm sure you didn't bring
me here to talk about me.

So, what's going on?

It's my sister.

She's being forced
out of her own company

by the man who assaulted her.

And she begged me
not to confront him with it,

but, of course, I did.

Let me guess:
he's denying it.

He is.

And sure as we're sitting here,
if you go after him,

he'll admit it happened
but say it was her.

- How do you know that?
- Because I've see

this movie before,

which is why I know
he's made this movie before.

Well, let me tell you
the movie I've seen.

What you and I
did to my mugger.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that
I don't care

if this guy has a family
or not, Samantha.

You do whatever you it takes to
take this piece of shit down.

Can I come in?

I always forget what
beautiful taste you have.

- Can I get you...
- I'm sorry, Esther.

You trusted me.
I didn't contain myself.

And I am sorry.

Thank you, Louis.

Thing is...

you hear about this kind
of thing happening

and you know it does,

but you always think
it happens to other people,

not the people that you love.

And I do love you, Esther.

I know that, Louis.

I love you too.

It's funny;
it seems like you hear

about this kind of thing now.

But back then,
you didn't.

And you wondered,
was it your fault?

Was it something
you did or said?

It wasn't.

I just wished
you had told me at the time.

Maybe I should have.

The truth was...
You were feeling ashamed.

Listen,
I didn't just come here to apologize.

I know you said
to leave this alone,

and I'll call it off
if you want me to,

but I went to get us
some help.

Thank you, Louis.

You think you can
go over my head

and there won't
be any consequences?

I think you wouldn't be here

if your boss hadn't put
the screws to you

- for coming after me.
- You're right.

He called me at midnight
in my home

and said that if I had
nothing to hide,

why the hell
didn't I come after you?

Well, you wanted it?
You got it.

You are under arrest

for conspiring
with a federal prosecutor.

You're making a mistake,
Malik.

What do you think the judge
is gonna say when he finds out

you arrested
your opposing counsel?

He's gonna say,
"Guilty as charged,"

because I'm not just
gonna disbar you.

I'm putting you away.

I wanna call my lawyer.

Officer Haskins
has butter fingers.

I'll see you down there.

We'll try to reach out
to your lawyer on the way.

You hungry, Harvey?

After I picked you up,

I realized that you may not
have had breakfast yet.

Well, since you're asking,
I'll have two eggs, a coffee,

and a side of kiss my ass.

Swagger, huh?

But you're not fooling anyone

because I know exactly
how screwed you are.

What I know is
I asked for my attorney;

you smashed my phone,

which means I could tell you
I killed Kennedy,

and it wouldn't be admissible.

Well, if you won't talk to me,
maybe Sean will.

You know, we picked him up
right after you.

You can't do that.
He's already been arrested.

Not for obstruction,
he hasn't,

which is exactly what happened
when his boss went to my boss.

Oh, I get it.

You concocted this little
prisoner's dilemma

to get us to cave.

Well, if you think
it's going to break us,

you're wasting your time.

I think Sean Cahill has
one chance to save his career,

and all he has to do
is turn on you.

Or you could turn first.

Be my guest.

In the meantime,

I'm gonna go and see
if Sean feels any different.

Alex, I need to talk to you.

Harvey and Sean were supposed
to talk strategy this morning,

but they're not in his office.

You checked
the conference room?

I did, and after that,
reception,

and it turns out neither
of them showed up.

And when I call Harvey,
it goes straight to voicemail.

Donna, they probably had
the meeting over coffee

and didn't wanna be disturbed.

Alex, I don't get
this feeling very often,

and you don't know
Andy Malik like I do.

I'm telling you
something's wrong.

All right.
Let's get to it, Sean.

I know you did this.
I know why.

You owed
Harvey Specter your career.

- The hell I do.
- Oh.

You're gonna tell me that he
didn't take down Eric Woodall,

which puts you in your job

and that's why he got
his buddy out of prison?

- Those things are unrelated.
- Wow.

That'd be
the first time in history

that both hands are clean
and one didn't wash the other.

You need to get
your facts straight,

because the deal that I made
to take down William Sutter...

Was with Mike Ross,
not me.

Then why did you pursue
Sutter as a client?

His son-in-law, Kevin Miller,
got Mike Ross out of a jam.

I owed him one.

And Kevin Miller
says that's a lie.

And that's the coerced
testimony of a convicted felon.

You think that's all I got?

Phone records.

Two dozen conversations

between you and Sean
during that time.

How do you explain that?

Frank Gallo was in there.

He was a danger to Mike Ross,
so I called Sean.

Bullshit. You want
to get an inmate moved,

you talk to the warden,
not an SEC prosecutor.

Mike's life was threatened.

I was talking to anyone
who'd listen.

Bullshit again.
Mike Ross was in danger.

You couldn't get Gallo moved.

So you had to get Mike
out of there, and that's when

you went to your buddy Sean
and made a deal,

which he took
because he owed you.

- I didn't **** deal.
- Yes, you did!

I know the whole story.

I can tell it, I can prove it,
and a jury's gonna believe it.

The real question is,

which one of you two is gonna
figure that out first?

Not me.

Look at his track record.

Mike Ross went
to prison for him.

Jessica Pearson lost
her license for him.

He manipulates people!

I didn't manipulate anyone.

You manipulated the law!

You crossed the line
at every turn!

You think the rules
don't apply to you.

- I'm good with who I am.
- That's the ♪♪♪♪ problem.

You pursued a client
with the sole purpose

of putting him away.

You did it, you know it,
and you don't even care.

Sean,

do you know what happens to
prosecutors who go to prison?

This is your last chance.

Now you won't go to trial.
You won't lose your job.

All you have to do
is admit the truth

and this will all be over.

It is over, Malik.

My clients are done
answering questions.

Yeah, well, I'm done asking.

Oh, and you don't have clients,
Mr. Williams.

You just have him.
What the hell does that mean?

It means Sean Cahill asked
for new representation.

- Who?
- Faye Richardson.

She advised her client
to take my deal, and he agreed.

First Harvey,
then Louis.

I'm seeing you people
more than I did

when I was at the firm.

Speaking of the firm,

I know Louis came to you
for help with Esther.

Whatever you're doing,
I want in.

Katrina, don't take this
the wrong way,

but go back to work.

I'm not going anywhere.

Then don't, but the reason he
came to me

is because
I am doing things you can't.

Samantha, I was a prosecutor
for six years

before I got to the firm.

One day, a woman came in,

said she'd been assaulted
by her boss.

Let me guess:
nobody believed her.

No.
Everyone believed her.

I threw everything
I had at this guy.

I put her on the stand,
she told her story,

and then I had to watch
as 12 jurors

exonerated that bastard.

So if you're going
after this guy,

you're not doing it
without me.

Harvey,
before you say anything...

**** you and the horse
you rode in on!

Oh, you son of a bitch.

He had us.
We were gonna lose.

We were both gonna go to
prison, and I cut us a deal

so neither of us
would have to.

What do you want, Sean?

Do you want me to throw you
a ticker-tape parade?

I don't give a shit
what you throw me.

You did what he said.

You went after a guy,
made him trust you,

and you threw him in prison
for the rest of his life

and you didn't lose
a minute's sleep over it.

Yeah, he threw that
at me too.

I'm just a piece of shit
who only cares about himself.

And yeah, I colluded.

But I did it to get a man
who never hurt a soul

away from a convicted murderer
who was gonna kill him.

- That doesn't change the...
- No, let me tell you something else.

My whole life,
I've done what I think was right,

but there's always someone
somewhere who hates me for it

because they think
I'm breaking the rules.

Well, rules aren't
right or wrong.

Every line I've ever crossed,
I'd do it again

because I am fine
with what's in my soul.

Look, Harvey,
I didn't say you were the bad guy.

I just said he had us.

Well, you know what, Sean?
Now he only has me.

How could you do it?

How could you betray Harvey
like that?

- I didn't betray anyone.
- Bullshit!

You went to Sean
and you helped him cut a deal

to get Harvey disbarred.

He decided to take a deal,
Donna,

and when he did,
Andrew Malik recommended me

because Sean had a right
to an attorney

who was looking out
for his best interests.

That right there.
That's what you do.

You hide behind morality

when the truth is
you just can't stand Harvey.

I don't hate Harvey.

In fact, I believe,
in his heart,

he thinks he's a good man.

That's why he won't change

and why
he's a cancer to this firm.

You call him a cancer?

Well, unlike you, Faye,
people love him.

Which makes
the problem worse

because you all
follow him anywhere.

And if you think,
you'll always be able

to make him do
what's right,

- you're kidding yourself.
- Well, you know what, Faye?

It was his moral code that kept
him from turning you over

to the Bar
when he had the chance.

So next time you wanna talk
shit about who he is,

you think about that.

Six women over ten years.

The problem is none of them
are willing to talk.

I can see why.

Violating those NDAs is a
one-way ticket to bankruptcy.

Only in civil court.

The NDAs don't apply
if it's criminal.

Then they'd have
to take the stand,

and if Esther won't do it,
why would they?

They won't.
Damn it.

All we need is one.

Wait a second.

What if we're looking
at this the wrong way?

What do you mean?

We can't ask any
of these women

to risk their life savings
to come forward,

but the people
who arranged those NDAs

are a different story.

They already risked
their life savings

because they took part
in a cover-up.

Katrina,
they're Paul's lawyers.

They have attorney-client
privilege.

That's the thing, Samantha.

Their client
isn't Paul Richmond.

It's the company.

And if they took action which
gives their company exposure...

They have liability too.

It's a stretch.

Whoever it is won't just cave.

Unless there's more than one,
in which case...

We pit one
against the other.

Ms. Bennett, you said
you wanted to talk about

- a business opportunity?
- That's right.

I'm offering you a chance
to cut ties with Paul Richmond

before it's too late.

Why would I cut ties
with Paul?

You know why.

Because you were party
to buying the silence

of the women
he assaulted.

If Paul Richmond assaulted
anyone, I never heard about it.

You never heard of Maya Perez
or Janet Tundermann

or any of these other women?

I deal with hundreds
of employees, Ms. Wheeler.

- I don't remember every one.
- Then let me jog your memory.

You cut them bonus checks

worth ten times
what they were earning.

Not only that,
every single one of those deals

came with strings attached,

and we know
what they are:

NDAs.

Because those payouts
weren't released

until the truth was buried,

and you're one of the people
holding the shovel.

- This conversation is over.
- Maybe it is.

But you might want to check
your contract.

It says you work
for the company, not Paul.

Which means any arrangements
you made

against Mayfield's interests
are not protected...

..by attorney-client
privilege.

So the question is,
who's going to talk first?

Were you gonna
tell me about Cahill

or was I supposed to read
about it in the "Journal"?

I'm sorry, Donna,

I didn't have it in me
to tell you.

I get it.

You were loyal to Sean,

and it was a gut punch.

And now Malik's finally
gonna get what he wants.

Cahill and Faye
are taking that plea deal,

and I'm gonna lose my license.

And the Harvey I know
wouldn't give up

until they yanked him
out of here.

And that's gonna
happen tomorrow

because as soon as Cahill
signs that thing,

Malik's got me.

No, he doesn't.

And if I'm right,
he's not going to.

What are you saying?

After I bailed Harvey out,

I pulled the arrest warrant.

Turns out, the time on it
was 9:00 p.m.,

two hours before Cahill's boss
went to Malik's.

And exactly one hour
after I saw Forstman.

Shit, he didn't arrest me

because Cahill
went over his head.

He did it because he knew

I was getting close
to something.

Which leads me to this.
Sutter's autopsy.

He didn't know he was dying.

He died of a heart attack
on the spot.

Which means Forstman
wasn't telling the truth.

But he was telling the truth.

He had to have gotten
the story from Sutter.

Otherwise,
how did he know?

See, that's the thing.

He wasn't lying about
what Sutter told him.

He was lying about when.

Malik's whole case hinges
on Forstman's testimony.

And in order for it
to be admissible,

it had to be
a deathbed confession.

And you can't give
a deathbed confession

without a deathbed.

Which means Sutter
must've told Forstman,

but Forstman didn't put
it together about Cahill

- until it was too late.
- So this means you're off the hook.

We've got proof.

Maybe, but I don't
just want proof

that Forstman was lying.

- I want proof that Malik knew.
- How are we gonna get that?

By giving Sean Cahill
a chance to make things right.

Samantha.

I hope you don't mind.
Sheila let me in.

No, of course not.
What do you got?

Good news and bad news,
Louis.

We have a road map
to every time

Paul has done this before

and the settlements
he's paid.

The thing is,
we still don't have a plaintiff.

And without a plaintiff,
the best I can do is bluff.

That's what I'm here to say.

You'll have to convince
your sister to come forward.

No.
Samantha, I can't.

She doesn't want to do it,
and I can't ask her again.

Then I think I know who can.

Katrina?

I got your message.
I came as soon as I could.

Esther, please sit.

I know we've only met once
or twice,

but I'm going to have
to redirect

because we don't
have much time.

We were able to find
a substantial amount

of evidence against Paul
throughout his career.

But?

But without someone willing
to come forward,

you're going to lose
your company

and he's going
to keep doing this.

I see.

Before you say anything,
I want you to know two things.

I once took up this fight
for someone in your situation.

And we lost.

I called her today,

asked if she regretted
coming forward,

and she said that, while living
with that verdict was hard,

not having said anything
would have been harder.

And the other thing?

That case was nine years ago,

and Esther,
times have changed.

I'm not so sure they have.

Obviously,
this is your decision.

But, as I said,
we don't have much time.

What the hell is this?
Where's Faye?

Faye's not coming

'cause Sean is not signing
your deal.

Well, then, I guess
we're going to court.

No, Malik.
You're going to court

because we didn't conspire with
a convicted felon,

You did.

The hell are you talking
about?

He's talking about the fact
that Charles Forstman

lied about the timing
of Sutter's confession.

And you're the one
who told him to do it.

I can't believe this.

You can't see
what happening here?

He's spinning you.
That's what he does.

You call this spin, Andy?
I call it evidence.

You pulled my records,
I pulled yours.

All your contacts
with Charles Forstman.

Every single one,

including the phone call
he made to you

five minutes
after I left him,

warning you
we were getting close.

Not to mention the deal that
you cut with him

three months
after Sutter died.

And there is no record
of any contact

between you and
Charles Forstman before that.

You think you can intimidate
me into dropping this?

No, Andy, I don't.
And we're not intimidating.

We're arresting.

You're hereby charged
with fabricating evidence

in a criminal case.

The hell I am!

I'm the goddamn
state's attorney!

No, you're not.

See, Donna told you
this would happen,

and now it is.

Remember what you said
about prosecutors

who go to prison, Andy?

Well, you're about
to find out.

You're not going
to get away with this.

We just did.

That was close.

I guess it's a good thing
we stuck together till the end.

Sean, I understand
why you did what you did.

You do?

I'm always saying loyalty
is a two-way street.

If I can't see that you were
trying to do the best

for both of us,
then I'm an asshole.

You said it, not me.

Bet you know what
I'm gonna say now, huh?

Something about you never
wanting to see my face again?

Something like that.
Wanna grab a beer?

Let me take a rain check.

I've got a little errand
to run.

Go get him, Harvey.

I assume you're here
to sign the deal

on behalf of your client?

I'm here to end this thing.

And what are you going
to accuse me of this time?

Hmm?
Robbing Fort Knox?

Here's the thing, Paul.

We went to two of your people,

gave them the choice
between saving your ass

or saving themselves.

Take a guess whose ass
they didn't save.

Every NDA, every dirty deal,
every single cover-up.

This is nothing but,
uh, proof that these women

signed
confidentiality agreements.

Doesn't mean what
they're saying is true.

We'll see what your board
has to say about that.

I don't think the board's
gonna say anything.

You know why they won't?

'Cause Esther won't
come forward.

No one comes forward;
you got nothing.

No, Paul.

He has everything.

You know why I wasn't
gonna come forward?

Because I didn't think
people would believe me.

But when I tell my story,

you can bet your ass

I am gonna
make them believe me.

Even if they do,

it's long past
the statute of limitations.

Not to sue your ass,
it isn't.

Which is why
you're gonna resign.

And if you don't,
I am gonna tell the world

how, when I was 28 years old,

you lured me to your room,
put your hands all over me,

and when I resisted,
you overpowered me.

And when I finally got away,

you told me
if I ever said a word,

that I would never work again.

And when she's done,
they're not gonna throw you in prison,

but they're gonna take away
every penny you have.

Sign!

Now get the... out of here
before we change our minds.

You okay?

I... I am.

I didn't know
you were gonna show up.

Neither did I.

Oh, I couldn't have done
that without you.

If you're here
to up your offer,

save yourself the trouble.

I'm not cutting a deal
with Sean Cahill.

I'm not here for that,
Charles.

I'm here to tell you
that we know you lied,

and we know
Malik was in on it.

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

Then ask him,
because my guess is

he'll be joining you here
in six months.

I'll be out in two years.

We'll see what happens then.

There isn't going
to be a then.

You perjured yourself...

which means your time here
isn't going down.

- It's going up.
- Don't worry.

The guy who decides
how much

is Sean Cahill.

I'm sure he'll take it
real easy on you.

Hey. How did it go?

Well, we didn't convict him,

but short of that,
it went as well as possible.

Ah, that's great, Louis.

It feels weird to say
that I'm happy

in a situation like this.

But I am.

I'll call Esther tomorrow.

That would be nice.

- Hey, are you okay?
- I am.

It's just...

Sheila, I've been thinking
about family...

How important it is to me,
how important it is to you.

What's going on, Louis?

Well, I know
you're far along,

and I know it may not be
how we would have planned it,

but...

I want to get married
before we have the baby.

Are you serious?
Louis, I look like a house.

I do not care
what you look like.

I want us to be a family.

And I never gave you a ring.

And I know
we're already engaged.

Sheila...

Will you marry me before
you give birth to our child?

Yes, I will.

It's done.

You should have seen
the look on Forstman's face.

In fact, I don't know
which was better...

His or Malik's.

Harvey, I need to tell you
something.

What is it, Donna?
What's wrong?

You mother had
a heart attack.

She's gone.
