NARRATOR:

Was this whole thing
designed to get

Restoration back to the table?

It was designed
to get them back

or take a chance
on an up-and-comer.

Thomas isn't gonna wanna be
in business with Simon

when he finds out.
He's not going to find out

because we're not
gonna tell him.

Get on the ground.
Wallet and phone!

The same thing that happened
to you happened to me.

The deal you made was a ploy

to get Restoration Hardware
to the table.

You know.
You're damn right I know.

I'm taking Glenn's offer
at the original rate.

I'm putting out
an announcement about it.

You cannot do what we did.
You'll regret it.

You didn't regret it.
You don't know what happens

over time when you
do something like that.

I'm upset
because I lost a client.

No. You're upset
because I chose Thomas over you.

Louis didn't get the wrong guy
and neither did you and I.

It's not about the wrong man.

It's about taking matters
into your own hands

and what happens
when you do.

You broke privilege,
and now I'm gonna make you pay.

[♪♪♪]

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

Thomas, hi.
THOMAS: Hey.

Are you busy tonight?

DONNA:
Actually, I think
I'm gonna work late.

Donna, you okay?
You sound upset.

I didn't know
you were gonna put out

a press release
when you took that offer.

The risk you run when
you're known as a nice guy,

is people think
they can push you around.

I had to show them
if you push me,

I'm gonna
push right back.

I'm sorry if that resulted
in your firm getting fired.

We're not just getting fired,
Thomas. We're getting sued.

Oh, shit.

Well, no wonder you're upset.

You guys are getting sued
because of me.

That's the thing.
It's not just because of you.

It's because of me.

[♪♪♪]

Robert.

If you're here for a drink,
I'd love to,

but I've had a long week,
and Rosalie's expecting me.

I'm not here for a drink.

What's on your mind?

That prison situation
you had a couple years back.

What about it?

Those men murdered
an innocent man,

you knew about it...

and you didn't do anything.

Are you here to make me feel
like shit or is there a point?

I'm not judging you, Alex.

I did something some years back
that I'm not proud of either.

And I guess I'm wondering...

how do you live with it?

At first, I tried
putting it out of my mind,

but then
it kept popping back up.

Then I thought about
doing something,

but anything I tried,
I'd end up in prison myself

for something
I didn't do.
Mm.

So I guess
the question is:

Can you do something
about what you did?

No, I can't.

Then all you can do
is try

and make up for it
somehow the rest of your life.

[DIALS, LINE OUT RINGING]

You stuck around
and ate the rest of my Chinese?

You think Laura's
gonna let me get

eggrolls
and fried rice at home?

[CHUCKLES]
ROBERT: I wanted to thank you

for staying late.
It means a lot.

Don't mention it, Robert.
Whatever you need, I'm here.

You know that.
I know this
sweet-and-sour chicken

isn't gonna eat itself.
No, it wo--

[GRUNTING]

Samantha, you still there?

Robert, call 911.
Samantha.

I'm at-- Unh!

Samantha, talk to me.

[LINE BUZZING]
Goddamn it.

[GRUNTS]

LOUIS:
Harvey.
What are you doing here?

We have a problem.

Come in.

What is it?

Long story short,
Simon Lowe

tried to screw over
Thomas Kessler.

You mean that lease deal
was bullshit?

Yes, that's what I mean.

Thomas is
one of my oldest clients,

but you can't tell him.
We're way past that.

Donna told him.

How could she even know?

'Cause I told her.

Why the hell
would you do that?

She knew
something was wrong,

and I didn't know
what else to do.

I told her to give me time
so I could fix it,

but before I could,
she told him.

Then Thomas bailed and Simon
suspected what happened.

Let me guess. He fired us.

He didn't just
fire us, Louis.

He hired Daniel Hardman
to sue us.

Say that again.

Simon hired--

No, tell me again
that Donna

put her goddamn
relationship above us,

and now Daniel fucking Hardman
is suing my firm?

You wanna get pissed off
at Donna, or figure this out?

[EXHALES]

I wanna figure this out.

I sure as shit know you
didn't come here without a plan.

So, what do you have?

As I see it,
we have two options.

The first of which involves
going to Robert.
Pass.

He's the only one of us
that gets along with Hardman.

It's our only chance
of getting him to be reasonable.

You and I both know
there isn't

a frozen dick's
chance in hell

that rat is
gonna be reasonable.

Then tomorrow morning,
you and I need to go in there

with an offer so good
Simon has choice but to take it,

and Daniel's left with nothing
but a frozen dick in his hand.

[♪♪♪]

[HEART MONITOR BEEPING]

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

Robert,
what are you doing here?

I came as soon as I found out
where they took you.

My purse had, um--

Don't worry about it.

The important thing
is you're here.

I am so sorry, Samantha.

I never should have
kept you so late.

[SIGHS]
It's not your fault, Robert.

If anything,
I should've had my guard up.

This isn't on you.

This is on the piece of shit
who did this to you.

You're right.

We need to get
to the police station.

I wanna make a statement.
Tomorrow. You need to rest.

If I have any chance of catching
this guy, the first 24 hours--

Whatever we have to do to make
this right, I'm right with you.

But tonight, you're staying put
and getting better.

Okay.

[♪♪♪]

Thanks for being here, Robert.

I'll always
be here for you, Samantha.

Robert.

You need something?
Yeah.

You hear about this
Hardman-Pierpont Malls thing?

I did. Alex told me.
What did he say?

He wasn't too happy
with Donna making him

look like shit
with his own client.

Can't blame the man for that.
No, you can't.

Robert, are you okay?

Because ever since
that thing with Louis--

I'm fine, Samantha.
Do me a favor.

Get to know everything
there is to know

about this whole
Hardman situation.

You never know
how it's gonna shake out.

Harvey, Louis,
good of you to come.

Can I offer you
a beverage?

I'll take a nice tall glass
of suck a bag of dicks.

This thing's ending right now.
What is that?

We're doubling the money you
lost when Kessler backed out.

This says Kessler found out
about the Restoration deal

because of a clerical error.

That's right.
Information was included

on certain deal memos
that were just--

Bullshit.
You told Alex Williams.

An error won't cut it
with his board.

They need a head to roll.

Louis is too stupid
to understand that.

You son of a bitch.
You always underestimated me.

And you're
underestimating me.

If I'd wanted
to settle with you,

I wouldn't have called
Daniel Hardman.

I thought
you said you called him.

Did I? I must have
made a clerical error.

Regardless, it's Louis'
firm now, not yours.

Louis, we go to court,
the world's gonna discover

that your firm
can't be trusted,

and then you will be
the king of nothing.

But if you admit Harvey broke
privilege, this can all go away.

I see what this is.
You wanna use that admission

to come after
Harvey's license.

[♪♪♪]

Look at that.
I didn't think

you had it in you
to figure it out.

Let me tell you something
you will never figure out.

Leaders never
betray their partners.

Let's save
the betrayal talk

for Harvey's ethics hearing,
shall we?

I can win this, and have it
scheduled by end of the month.

You do this, it'll be
the biggest regret of your life.

No, Harvey.
My biggest regret is

I wasn't the one to rip
Jessica's name off the wall.

I'll have to settle
for ripping yours off instead.

Good day, gentlemen.

Harvey?
How did it go with Hardman?

It didn't.
What does that mean?

It means
he's not just suing us.

He's trying to get
a guilty verdict

so he can come after
my license.

What? No, he can't do that.

He can, Donna, because I broke
privilege, and he knows it.

You didn't break privilege.
I'm the one who told Thomas.

I told Alex, and that's how
they think Thomas knows.

So, what are we gonna do?
We aren't doing anything.

Louis and I are handling this.
If I told them it was me--

You'd make it worse. We told
them it was a clerical error,

and you'd be proving we did
what they're accusing us of.

Harvey, I'm responsible
for this. I wanna help.

I'm sorry, Donna, but--

I get it.

If I really wanted to help,

I never would've told Thomas
in the first place.

I was gonna say
the genie's out of the bottle,

and we can't put it back in.

But what you can do
is let Louis and I

do what we have to,
to get us out of this.

Samantha. How you doing?

Physically, I'm fine. Mentally,
I am pissed the fuck off.

You wanna talk about it?
We can get you counseling.

I got mugged, like
30 other people that night.

The police aren't gonna
do anything, and you know it.

What are you getting at?

I want the name
of your investigator

and a few days off
to handle this.

You think I'll let you
track down this guy yourself?

Listen to me.
No. Let's say you find him.

What happens then?
You hear of an eye for an eye?

That's what happens.

Look, if someone attacks you,
they attack me.

So we're gonna go to my guy
and find this son of a bitch.

But when we do,
we turn him over to the DA

and let them
do what they do.

No, that won't work.
I'm not asking, I'm telling.

If you want justice,
you're gonna get it,

but that's the only way
this happens.

Okay.

We'll do it your way.

Just give me the name
of your investigator.

Harvey.
What an unpleasant surprise.

Well, it's about
to get more unpleasant,

because I got to thinking,
if Simon was willing

to double-deal
behind Thomas' back,

what's to stop him from doing it
with someone else?

That is evidence
of an off-the-books meeting

between two of the largest
mall owners in America,

divvying up retailers
and colluding on rents.

So I'm giving you
a one-time opportunity

to save Simon
an investigation.

Well, Harvey, you're right.

Simon did get into
a room with Westhaven,

and it was off-the-books.

But it wasn't colluding.
They discussed a merger.

Bullshit.
I represented him.

He never said
anything about this.

I'd be happy to show you
the offer we made them.

And I assure you, they have
a copy in their files right now.

Because you went back
and created a paper trail.

Which means all
you have on Simon

are a couple dates
on a calendar.

All you have on me is conjecture
about what I may have done.

No, Harvey. I have a phone call
you made to Travis Tanner

the night before
Restoration backed out.

Turns out Travis
just happens to represent

the competitor of Simon's
who was drawing up an offer

to Restoration
when Kessler backed out.

Do you think Tanner
will protect you

when I get him on the stand?
You son of a bitch.

Now, now. Name-calling
won't get us anywhere.

Or maybe it will.

Because I'm willing
to drop this whole thing

if you will do me
the simple courtesy

of putting my name
back up on your wall.

You would have
to resign, of course.

But at least
you'd be able to slink away

and start up somewhere else,

like you did to me.

You think I'm gonna let you
get away with this, don't you?

I think you did what
I'm accusing you of,

and the chickens
are coming home to roost.

[♪♪♪]

ROBERT:
Are you up to speed on Hardman?

[SIGHS]
I am.

Robert,
he's not gonna give up.

If this plays out
the way it's headed--

I know. That's why
I came up with this.

[SCOFFS]

Are you crazy?
No, I'm not.

I need you to make that happen.

Think of something else.

I'll never be able to
convince him to do this.

You have convinced people
of a lot more than this.

I could get to them.
He won't take my call.

He sure as shit not gonna take
mine. Use his hatred of me--

Won't make a difference.
He hates us both.

If we don't do this--
I know what's at stake.

I need you to get this done.

Because I agree,
if this thing plays out

the way that it's headed...

All right.
I'll make it happen.

[♪♪♪]

THOMAS:
Louis.

This is only the second time
you've ever come to my home.

First time I was here, I told
you that I got you out of a jam.

This time, I'm asking you
to get me out of one.

If you're talking about
Simon Lowe

suing your firm,
I heard. I'm sorry.

He's not just
suing the firm, Thomas.

His lawyer's using the suit to
come after my partner's license.

You mean Harvey Specter.
Yes, I do.

So as your first lawyer
and your friend,

I'm asking you to help me.

Help you how?

Simon's lawyer is trying to
prove Harvey broke privilege.

The only people they can go
after are Harvey, Alex, Donna--

And me.
That's right.

Hardman hasn't
subpoenaed you yet,

but it's a matter of time.

You want me to what?
Leave town? Or worse yet--?

No, Thomas--
No, no. I don't believe this.

The guy helped Simon Lowe
try to screw me over,

and you want me
to cover for him.

Listen, I know you
value honesty,

so I'm gonna be honest
with you.

Simon was a bigger client,

and Harvey
should've sided with him.

But he tried to
protect you anyway.

You don't cover for him,
all it's gonna do

is take down a good man
who I care about.

I'm sorry, Louis.

If this Daniel Hardman
subpoenas me,

I won't perjure myself.

[♪♪♪]

I assume
you're here to discuss

my pending action
against your firm.

I am.
I'm also here to drink

this 30-year Scotch
with an old friend.

I appreciate that, Robert.

But what's the saying?

"Never trust
Greeks bearing gifts"?

I look Greek to you?

You look like a man trying
to have it both ways.

You look like one who's letting
a vendetta cloud his judgment.

They took my firm. That's not
a judgment. That's a fact.

You all but handed it to them
with your indiscretions.

If you're here to
litigate the past--

Fuck the past, Daniel.

I'm here to
work something out.

What will it take
for you to drop this?

I said what it'd take.

My old firm back and
Harvey Specter's resignation.

Now, you know I can't do that.
Why not?

Because Rachel
married his protégé?

Because you and Jessica broke
the glass ceiling together?

We were friends
before any of that.

We talked about
starting a firm together.

I know that we did.
Why are you siding with them?

They stole everything
I built, Robert,

forced me out in disgrace,

and I've been
in the wilderness ever since.

And until my name
is up on that wall,

I'm not dropping this.

[♪♪♪]

Then what if I can get
your name up somewhere else?

You mean Rand Kaldor?

Ever since I left the firm,
they've been one man down.

You could come in and--
And what?

They hate you as much as
I hate Harvey.

Why would they
throw you a lifeline?

Because you're
Daniel goddamn Hardman,

that's why.

Okay, Robert.

You get Eric and Ellen to go in
on this, I will let this go.

But if you can't...

our friendship isn't gonna
stop me from taking Harvey down.

So?

How'd it go with Daniel?
It didn't.

What do you mean, it didn't?
He already backdated an excuse.

Not only that,
he found out

I went to Tanner
behind Simon's back.

Wait. You did what?

I was trying to save Thomas'
deal without telling him.

Never mind. I don't give a shit.
We need to figure something out.

This is my firm.
I'm not gonna let

that son of a bitch
take it from me.

Louis.
Why'd you have to tell her?

That's what
I don't get. Why?

He was my client for 13 years.
I wouldn't have told her.

Yes, Louis,
you would have.

Last year, you came to me about
putting Sheila over the firm.

And I told you, as managing
partner, I wouldn't do it.

But as your friend,
I would.

If I had asked you
about telling Donna,

you would've done
the same thing.

You're right.

I would.

Goddamn it.
What's going on, Louis?

Thomas said that
he wouldn't help us.

You mean
he wouldn't help me.

Yeah, I guess
that's what I mean.

Why couldn't Donna
just wait for you?

I don't know, Louis.

I really don't know.

You think you would've
come through if she had?

Well, I'd like to think so.

Yeah, well, I do too.

Let's face it,
you pretty much always do.

You're right, Louis. I do.

Right now, I think I can.

What do you got?

They said a head
needs to roll on this.

What if, instead of one head
rolling, we give them two?

Good, you're here.

I was going over
my testimony

and could use
another set of eyes.

I don't know
how to tell you this.

I talked to Cameron Dennis.

The guy's friends put him
at a different location--

Don't you fucking say it.

Samantha, I'm sorry.

I never should've
listened to you.

Look, I know you're upset.

Save it. I've got something
to take care of.

You gonna hire someone
to break his legs?

Goddamn it.

You told me that
if we did this right,

there'd be justice.
Where's the justice?

That son of a bitch gets off,

do you know what
that makes me? A victim.

I am not a victim, Robert.

One of my foster parents
would hit me.

It's why I joined
the service.

It's why I learned
self-defense.

I can't be a victim again,
Robert. I just...

...can't.

[♪♪♪]

All right, then.

We'll go the other way.

What are you talking about?

Cameron Dennis said that if
any new evidence came to light,

he'll prosecute.

Let's get to doing that then.

No.

You took a risk
once to get me this firm.

It's time
I took a risk for you.

Goddamn it, Ellen. There's
gotta be something you'd ag--

[SIGHS]
Well, in that case, go to hell.

Well, how much?
What's the bastard's price?

There is no price, Robert.

He said no amount of money
would make up

for seeing his firm
get torn apart.

What about Ellen?

You try horse-trading with her?

I did.
I struck out there too.

Goddamn it, Samantha.
I got Daniel to agree.

He thought I came up
with Rand Kaldor on the fly.

What do you want me to say?

I want you to tell me
exactly what happened.

Eric and Ellen are two of
the greediest people I know.

If you try to tell me
they're standing on principle,

I'm calling bullshit.
It's pretty clear what happened.

Eric tried to force something
down your throat,

and you let your pride
get in the way, like always.

Robert, I offered him
half your client list,

a dividend stream
from your equity share,

a no-poaching commitment--

If the carrot doesn't work,
you use the stick.

Threaten him with what?
We took

half the firm from him.
There's nothing left.

[♪♪♪]

I'm sorry, Robert.

I did everything I could.
We have to find another way.

You have five minutes
to make your case.

You don't, this'll be
the shortest lunch in history.

Then I'll get to it.

We offered Simon Lowe
a settlement

no reasonable CEO
would refuse.

So we wanna see
if cooler heads can prevail.

This isn't about
cooler heads.

This is about
driving a wedge

between me and my CEO,
and that's not gonna happen.

There's no need to
drive a wedge,

because it already exists.

That is
an e-mail chain between

me and Simon
from 18 months ago.

As you can see,
he was looking to

relieve you of your duties
as chairwoman.

I don't know about you,
but if someone did that to me,

their ass would be on
the sidewalk 10 seconds later.

If this is true, why didn't you
bring it to my attention?

Because unlike Simon, I'm loyal
to the guy who writes my checks.

There's no two ways
about it.

Simon's a threat to you,
Daniel's a threat to us.

You wanna neutralize
those threats

or sit there and eat salad
while they neutralize you?

Gentlemen, I'll bring
this to the board

and see if
we can't reach a deal.

Just so we're clear,
this settlement

doesn't close
if you only let Simon go.

Believe me, when the board
hears about all of this,

you don't have to
worry about Simon

or Daniel Hardman
ever again.

Robert.

Long time no chat.

To be honest, I wasn't sure
they were gonna let me in.

[CHUCKLES]

I take it this means
you're accepting my offer.

Well, I don't accept
opening bids,

but if you wanna tell me
what you need--

Goddamn it.
She didn't tell you, did she?

Eric--
No, don't.

We worked together 20 years.
I know when you're stalling.

Samantha didn't tell you,
and now you're covering for her

like you always do.

All right, she didn't.

So, what, you wanna mock me,

or you wanna tell me
what it's gonna take?

It's simple, really.

Daniel Hardman's name
for yours.

Excuse me?

I said you retire,
I take Daniel on as a partner,

and that is
take it or leave it.

[♪♪♪]

All right.

Let's get to it.

What is your problem with me?
My problem?

Yeah. Why'd you take
my firm from me?

See, that. That right there.
That's my problem.

All we ever heard is
that was your firm,

your name, your reputation.

We had something to do
with it as well.

You think
I didn't know that?

You think
I never gave you credit?

You never let us forget that
you got our names on the wall.

I did put your names
on the wall.

If you were more focused
on the big picture

than getting
a pat on your back--

Had no problem
giving a pat to your protégé.

Don't talk about her.
We'd have never

gotten this place
if it wasn't for Samantha.

So you always say, although
you never quite say how.

But if I had to
venture a guess--

Not another word, Eric.

If that's how you really feel
about me, the answer is no.

I'll take my chances
with my friend.

If you're talking about Ellen,
Ellen's not your friend.

I'm talking about
Daniel Hardman.

Mark my words, we'll come
to some accommodation,

and then you and Ellen Rand
can kiss my black ass.

[♪♪♪]

Well, I don't know about you,
I think we've earned a drink.

I'd pour you one, but I'm
fresh out of Peachtree Schnapps.

All right, enough messing
around. What's the big news?

We got the suit dismissed,

and Daniel Hardman
is out of the picture.

Louis, that's great news.

I wish
I could see his face

when he finds out
we got the better of him.

You didn't get
the better of anybody.

LOUIS:
What are you doing here?

More importantly,
what are you talking about?

I knew what
you were up against,

so I went to Daniel
and offered him a deal.

What kind of deal?

There's only one thing
that son of a bitch

would trade
taking me down for,

and he told me what it is.

His name on our wall.
I would never give him that.

It doesn't matter now,
because when Daniel heard

that Simon got fired,
he thought I was playing him,

and pulled the trigger
on an Ethics hearing.

What the shit
did you just say?

They set the date, Louis.
When?

Harvey, before--
When, Alex?

This says
the hearing's tomorrow.

They're summoning you, me,
Simon, Thomas, and Donna.

We have less than 24 hours
to get our story straight,

convince Thomas
to corroborate it,

and get Donna out of town.

It's not gonna work.
Leave me alone, all of you.

I need time to think.
Harvey.

HARVEY:
I don't wanna talk about it.

I don't care
if one day they get me

on any of the other shit
that I've done.

But to go down for this?
To go down to him?

We can still--
No. He's got me dead to rights.

Mike was dead to rights.
Look what happened to him.

This isn't a jury.
It's an ethics board.

And I did what he said I did.

Harvey.
Motherfucker!

[GLASS SHATTERS]

[♪♪♪]

I said, leave me alone.

I know I'm interrupting,
but can I come in?

Why not?

Sitting by myself doesn't seem
to be getting me anywhere.

Well...maybe this will.

Technically...

you did not break privilege
when you told Donna.

In other words, I could
throw Donna under the bus.

I know you won't do it,
but it had to be said.

Then it's been said.

[CHUCKLES]

What?

If this were another firm,

she wouldn't even
still be working here.

You saying
we should fire her?

If you're asking me as
a name partner, I would say yes.

If you're asking me
as her friend, I would say

there's no way in hell
I am ever letting that woman go.

Never thought in a million years
something like that

could come out of your mouth.

Well, maybe this place
is rubbing off on me.

You are all crazy.

[CHUCKLES]

But maybe that's what
I love about it here.

[♪♪♪]

He's gonna lose everything
because of me.

Donna, you never know
how these hearings will go.

You know...

the worst part is I don't even
know why I did it anymore.

I didn't sleep that night.

I just wondered, "What if
Harvey can't get it done?"

Then I'd tell myself,
"He always gets it done."

Then it was morning,
and I hadn't heard from him,

and Thomas' business
was at stake--

You told him
because you love him.

Love him?

We just started
seeing each other.

I'm not talking
about Thomas.

Third year of law school,
Rosalie went behind my back

about a pro bono
we were doing.

We got in a huge fight,
and it broke us up.

I thought she betrayed me.

She thought I thought
I was a better lawyer.

But she didn't betray me,
and I didn't think I was better.

None of that had anything
to do with it, anyway.

What does this
have to do with me?

I was afraid
of committing.

Deep down, she knew it,
so she closed the window.

And it made me
realize I didn't like

being on the other side
of the glass.

I didn't do what I did
to make Harvey realize anything.

Neither did Rosalie.

She did it
so she could move on.

[♪♪♪]

HARVEY:
I appreciate you seeing me
on such short notice.

You said it was about Donna,
so of course I'll see you.

What's going on?
It's simple.

Donna was the one
who told you about Simon...

but I want you to say
it was me.

You want me to lie.

Look, I know
you're a man of your word,

but she risked all this
because she knows

how much your business
means to you.

Well, she worked her entire life
to get to where she is.

If the truth comes out,
she'll be barred

from working at a law firm
for the rest of her life.

What am I not seeing here,
Harvey?

How does all this
protect you?

It doesn't.
I just don't see why

she has to stand in front
of that firing squad too.

All I'm asking you to do
is protect her.

Like she protected you.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Oh, no, no, no.

You were the first one
to take an offer.

Yeah, but then you went
to another firm.

Back then, they weren't
gonna hire a man like me.

No matter
what school I went to.

I could have got you in.

They hired Jessica.

Years later.
I couldn't wait for that.

I still think we would've
made a great firm.

Zane Hardman.

Wait, why is your name first?

Well, you let
Jessica go first.

You let Rand and Kaldor.

You're right.
I don't have to go first.

I know where I stand.

Go ahead, take it.
Hardman Zane.

No. I don't want it now.

[CELL PHONE BUZZES]
Excuse me one moment, Daniel.

Cameron?

Robert, I have some news,

and I thought
I owed it to you to call.

[♪♪♪]

Please, don't tell her.

Robert, whatever it is,
I have to testify this morning.

I know.

Then what is it?

Remember when I said I couldn't
make up for what I did?

I think I can.

But I'm gonna need
your help,

and you might not like what
I need it for.

I know what it's like
to live with

a weight on your shoulders.

If I could help you
take it off,

why don't you go ahead
and tell me what you need?

[♪♪♪]

Thomas.
Can I come in?

Of course.

I was just getting ready
for this morning.

I know, that's what
I want to talk about.

If this is about
Louis coming to see you,

if I had known
he was gonna do that--

It's not about
Louis coming to me.

It's about Harvey Specter
coming to me.

Harvey came to you?
Last night.

What did he say?

Pretty much said he was about
to lay himself down

on the train tracks for you,
and he wanted me

to help tie him down.

[SCOFFS]
I-I don't know exactly
what that means--

Who are you to him?

I don't know
how to answer that.

I got it when
Louis came to me.

This comes out, it hurts
his firm, hurts his partner.

He wouldn't wanna
see that happen.

But then Harvey
came to me, and...

all he seemed to
care about is you.

So if you can't tell me
who you are to him, maybe...

you can tell me
who he is to you.

I don't know who he is,
Thomas.

[♪♪♪]

I just know
he's somebody that

I can't seem to figure out
how to cut out of me.

But I want to.

And I have wanted to.

And apparently, I tried to when
I told you what was going on.

But the truth is I don't know
if I'll ever be able to.

Thomas Kessler shook my hand
and said yes to a deal.

He had no reason
in the world to back out,

until Harvey Specter
gave him one.

When you confronted him with
this allegation, what did he do?

Paid off my board
and got me fired.

It wasn't a payoff. It was a
settlement we offered you first.

With a fabricated explanation
about Kessler

finding out
due to clerical error.

The contents of that offer
are not admissible here.

In other words, you're preparing
to change your story?

As far as I'm concerned, it's
time to get to the main course.

I call Harvey Specter.

[♪♪♪]

Where is she?

She said she didn't care
if she's summoned or not,

she couldn't watch.
What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

HARDMAN:
Shortly after
Simon Lowe told you

he was using
Thomas Kessler as a pawn,

Kessler pulled out
of their deal. Why was that?

If you're asking
if I told him

about my client's plans,
I didn't.

How did he find out?

Don't know. Maybe
Restoration clued him in.

Maybe he overheard
someone at dinner.

Maybe it was
the clerical-error nonsense

you tried to pull before?

What's nonsense is
I did not share

my client's privileged
information with another client.

Yet, he brought
this complaint anyway.

He did it because he knew
Pierpont Malls was about

to drop their suit against
my firm because it had no merit.

They dropped it
because you paid them to.

Mr. Hardman has a point.

I find it hard to believe
Thomas Kessler

wasn't informed by
your office.

So I ask you,
do you stand by your answer?

I stand by the fact that
he has to prove what I did.

I don't have to prove
what I didn't.

Then I say it's time
we ask someone else.

Mr. Williams, did you or did you
not inform Thomas Kessler

that his firm was being used
as a stalking horse?

No, I did not.

Then is it true Mr. Kessler
knew he was being used?

I can't speak to what
my client did or didn't know.

Let's talk about
what you knew.

You got his landlord
to make him a better offer?

Yes, I did. Nothing wrong
with using Pierpont's offer

to get a better deal.
That's what they did to us.

The difference is
when he got the offer,

he turned it down.
Why would he do that?

Because--
Because what?

Why would a man turn down
a better offer

then take out an ad
in the Journal

pronouncing the value
of integrity over profits?

It's because he knew

what Simon Lowe was doing,
and you knew he knew.

I will call Thomas Kessler,
and he will tell me the truth,

because he is
a man of integrity.

All right, I knew.

And I told my client,
which was my obligation.

HARDMAN:
Finally.

You knew because
Harvey Specter told you.

No. I knew because
Robert Zane told me.

What?
The hell I did.

I can't cover for you.
You're not covering.

I had no reason
to break privilege.

You saw a way to get back
at Harvey and Louis

for taking you down
as managing partner.

If you broke privilege,
he would take the hit,

and you would take
the firm back.

That is a fabrication.
This is obviously

a hit job on
an innocent man.

Then why do I have an e-mail
from Robert Zane

informing me of
Simon Lowe's duplicity?

What?

You're in on this?
MAN: Mr. Zane...

is this true?

It is.

I can't hide it anymore.

Oh, no.

They orchestrated this
whole thing. Ask Kessler.

Mr. Kessler, who was it,
Robert Zane or Harvey Specter?

[♪♪♪]

All I know is that Alex Williams
informed me of Pierpont's plan.

I can't speak to who told him.
No.

Travis Tanner admitted Harvey
called him the night before.

Then why isn't he here?
Obviously because he got to him.

Robert, as this is
a disbarrable offense,

may I ask you again,
under oath...

is this e-mail real?
Did you do this?

I did.

Do you have anything to say
in your defense?

Only that I did what I felt
was right at the time.

I didn't regret it then,

but I do now.

Robert,
why are you doing this?

I'm making up
for what I did wrong.

Well, I'm sorry to say
that that's not enough.

You hereby forfeit
your license to practice law.

This matter is now closed.
[GAVEL BANGS]

How could you do it?
Samantha--

You've been working
your whole life for this.

How could you throw it away?

I didn't.
I need you to understand.

Well, I don't understand it.

How could you take the fall
for something you didn't do?

How could you
do that to me?

I did something else
I can't live with.

What are you talking about?

That man that attacked you.

The one that we put away?

That's why you did this?

Robert,
he got what he deserved.

He was killed, Samantha.

Murdered in his own cell.

And it's my fault.

He may have been
a piece of shit,

but he was someone's son.

He wouldn't have been in there
if it weren't for me.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because it wasn't
your burden to bear.

But I am telling you now because
I need you to understand.

[♪♪♪]

This is redemption for me.

What am I gonna do
without you?

You got your name on the wall.
You don't need me anymore.

[SIGHS]

The truth is...

you haven't needed me
for a long time.

I don't wanna be alone.

You're not gonna
be alone here.

You've got Louis
and Donna and Alex.

It's not the same thing.

You wanna talk the same? I've
seen you and Harvey together.

You're peas in a pod.

[CHUCKLES]

Go to him, seek him out.

And who knows?
Over time, you might even...

Might even what?

Nothing.

[WOMAN VOCALIZING]

Come over here
and give an old man a hug.

You looking for him too?

I went to call Donna
after the hearing.

She didn't answer.

When I came back,
all you guys were gone.

There wasn't really
a reason to stay.

Alex, if you'd have told me
you were gonna do that--

That's why Robert
wouldn't let me tell you.

Well, I know I need
to thank him--

But you need to know why.

Yeah, I do.

Sometimes people
are carrying around a burden

they need to put down
that has nothing to do with you.

What burden?

ROBERT:
None of your goddamn business.

Stop moping around
my office.

I'm retired,
I'm not dead.

And, Harvey...

I knew what I was doing.
I'm good with it.

Well, if it's
all right with you,

what do you say
to celebrate your retirement,

I finally take you out
for that burger?

You got it.

But not tonight.

When something
like this happens,

it makes you know
what's really important.

And for me, it's Laura.

[♪♪♪]

Hey.

Sure you don't wanna tell me
what that burden was?

Isn't it enough I saved
your sorry ass?

And by the way,
most people get a gold watch.

I get a goddamn burger.

Why you gotta push it?
Now we gotta get him a watch.

Hey, do you wanna
get a burger?

Sorry, Harvey.

Robert's right.

I need to get home
to the woman I love.

[♪♪♪]

Shouldn't you
be out celebrating?

You'd think so,
but losing Robert

kind of takes the charm
off the victory.

Listen, Harvey.

I appreciate this, but...

I don't need you
checking up on me.

Where else
do I have to be?

You know,
I lost my mentor too.

Jessica Pearson.

Robert used to talk about her
all the time.

What was she like?

Let's just say she was to me
what he is to you.

It was hard losing her,
but it gets easier.

He believed in me.

He was the only one
who ever did that.

The only one
who saw who I was.

All my baggage,
all my flaws.

And he accepted you anyway.

He didn't just accept me.

He loved me.

Not easy to find someone
like that in this world.

No, it's not.

I mean, what am I
supposed to do when

I have a big victory
or a terrible loss,

and the only person I wanna
run and tell isn't there?

What am I supposed to do?

[♪♪♪]

Samantha, I'm so sorry,
but I have to go.

Where?

I just have to.
