- I came to see what you think

about me coming with you
to Chicago.

- There's a school
in upstate New York.

Ten years ago Discharge Power
started making batteries,

and those kids started
getting lead poisoning.

And they say it's not
from the plant, but it is.

- This is a list of children
pulled from the school

within the first six months
of the plant opening.

The parents are all executives
at Discharge Power.

- 100,000 a family.

- It's a lawsuit on behalf
of your former partners

for damages incurred by the
criminal actions of this firm.

Give these guys
their jobs back,

this whole thing goes away.

- I got a job offer today.
It's in Seattle.

- What if I told you
I'd consider it?

- You told me they were
gonna offer me a job.

You gave me a reason
to take it,

and then when I didn't
jump on it,

you put people that I care
about out of work.

- Holy shit, Gordon
doesn't want to take over.

He just wants to orchestrate a
deal where his guys come back,

they vote to merge with Zane,
and we cease to exist.

- I just found out
that my two partners

are willing to stab me
in the back.

- I'm sorry I had to be the one
to break it to you, Robert,

but you better get
your house in order,

because now I have
to protect mine.

- I went out there
to make a difference,

so I decided
to go toe-to-toe

with the mayor's office
on a police brutality case.

Two weeks after
you put out that statement,

they came after my license.

- What exactly do you want
me to do about it?

- I want you to stand next to me
on the last case I'll ever have.

- You can have your pick
of the top guys out there.

- I don't need the top guy.

I need the best partner
I've ever had.

- Robert.

- Oh, you have got to be
shitting me.

This is the worst possible time
for you to be around here.

- I don't care.
I need your help with Gordon.

- What the hell
do you need help for?

All you have to do to get
out of this mess

is not bring those
partners back

and just fight this thing
on its merits.

- Yeah, if we fight this thing
on its own merits and lose,

we won't have a firm anymore.
- Well, that's not my problem.

And even if it was, what am I
supposed to do about it?

- You tell those partners
that you're not gonna waive

their non-competes,
and if they don't drop the case

you'll fire them.
- And if I did that,

they'd fire me.
- Bullshit.

You have bylaws to protect you.
- No, listen to me, God damn it.

I'm gonna tell you
the same thing I told Harvey.

I'm in this shitstorm

because of my chummy
relationship with your firm.

I do that,
bylaws or no,

I'm out on my ass.
- Robert, please.

We are talking
about your daughter's home.

- Don't you dare use my daughter
as a bargaining chip.

She's a grown-ass woman.
She can take care of herself.

So, like Harvey said,
you take care of your house

because I'm gonna take care
of mine.

What the hell?

- Hey, buddy,
you just walked into me.

- Are you kidding me?
You just walked through me

at 60 miles an hour.

- Well, then I would
keep my head up if I were you.

You're not in Kansas anymore.

- What'd you say to me?
- I said this is Chicago.

And you're not
in Kansas anymore.

- Well, it might as well
be Kansas to me,

because I'm from New York.

Now get the hell
out of my face.

- Oh, I know where you're from,
Mr. Specter.

And if you think you're gonna
stop Pat McGann

from doing what he does,
you might as well turn around,

check your little man purse,

and go back to wherever
the hell you came from.

- Where are you going,
young lady?

- To school.
- Not like that, you're not.

Your uniform's supposed
to be buttoned up all the way.

- I told you kids
make fun of me.

- And I told you that's
exactly why you do it.

You're at war,

and you don't let the world
see your weak spots.

- And who exactly
am I at war with?

- With the world.
'Cause if it was up to them,

you'd be living in poverty
your entire life like...

- Like who, Dad?

And what does it have to do
with how I dress?

- It has everything
to do with it.

Because if they see
one imperfection,

they're going to pull
on that string.

And the next thing you know,
you're going to be laid bare.

- Dad, I'm just a girl.

- And if you think like that,
Jessica Pearson,

that's all you'll ever be.

- You getting ready for
the hearing this morning?

- You know I am.

- Let me handle this for you,
Jessica.

- I told you,
I want Harvey on this.

- You did tell me that,

but I'm still a little hazy
as to why.

- For one thing,
you're a partner in a law firm.

- And so is Harvey.
- In New York, not Chicago.

Which means anything I ask him
to do won't backfire onto you.

- Jessica,
I'm not worried about me.

- Jeff, we've talked
about this.

I can handle myself.

- And I'm sure
that's exactly what

the original plaintiff thought
right before he turned up dead.

- Come on.

Do you know how many people
have been shot

in that neighborhood
over the past ten years?

One has nothing
to do with the other.

- All I'm saying is that
you've been through something.

And apart from
the loss of a child,

it's--it's the biggest thing
that you could ever go through.

- And I love that you're
looking out for me.

But that thing is exactly why
I'm taking on this fight.

- I know.

And I just wanna make sure that
when you march into battle,

you've got your eyes open.

- Jeff, I'm taking on
the city of Chicago.

Believe me,

my eyes are wide
goddamn open.

- Ladies and gentlemen,
I appreciate you coming today.

I know your time is valuable,
so I'll just cut to the chase.

School.

It's where our kids
are taught and nurtured.

And it's supposed to be
their safest place.

But for the families
of Treetop Elementary,

Discharge Power
took that safety away

when they built
a battery plant

1,000 yards away
from their playground.

Now, they're gonna say they
took the proper precautions.

They didn't.

And now hundreds of innocent
children are suffering

the devastating effects
of lead poisoning,

and they will never
be the same.

One of the first things
we all learned in school

was to treat others as we
would be treated ourselves.

But, ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

you and I together are going
to teach Discharge Power

the lesson
they should have learned

when they were five years old.

- How'd it go with Zane?
- I'll tell you how it went.

I got a big fat bowl of,
"You're on your own."

- You told him how serious
this was?

- Yes, and he already knew.

- What about appealing
to the father in him?

- I'm not an idiot, Donna.
I tried that.

And the second I did,
he bit my head off.

- Okay, well, we have to think
of something.

- I know that, and right now,
the only thing

I can think of is letting
the partners come back,

because I cannot find
a way to prove

that they weren't harmed
by what we did.

- I might have a way.

- No time for guessing games,
Alex.

What do you got?
- Think about it.

What is Gordon offering
these guys if they come back?

- They vote us out and they
merge with Zane,

which means he offering them
better jobs and more money.

- And what if we got them
all that somewhere else?

We'd not only get rid of them;
we'd proved they weren't harmed

by you, Harvey,
or anyone else.

- Well, that's a great idea,
Alex, but where the hell

are we gonna find someone
to give 25 partners

raises and promotions
at some other major law firm?

- I'll tell them where
we're gonna find them, Louis.

Where I left them.

Right inside your
motherfu--ing Dictaphone.

- You look determined.
- I am.

You double-check that power
of attorney I sent you?

- I did.
- And how about

your application
to practice in Illinois?

It needs to be airtight.

- I'm good to practice here
for a month.

I had Donna file it herself.
- Good.

- Jessica...

what have we gotten ourselves
into here?

- What do you mean?

- I mean someone was waiting
for me at the airport,

and it wasn't a town car.

- Harvey, I told you.

These people here
are no joke.

They're trying
to run me out of town.

- Well, they're not too happy
about me being here, either.

- Then let's get in there
and get this damn thing done.

- Hey, I was looking
for you earlier.

How'd it go?

- Far as the opening statements
went, it was good.

But then
the judge got pulled away,

which means we lost momentum,
and then on top of that,

I just found out
that the soil samples

that we were supposed
to have last night got delayed.

- You don't think
Discharge Power

had anything to do with it,
do you?

- I didn't until
you just said that.

- I'm just saying,
look at what they already did.

They offered you a fake job,
and then the same guy

had your donor shut down
the whole clinic.

I mean, Mike, if they're
willing to do that--

- Shit.

If we don't get those samples,
we are in trouble.

- Maybe we don't need them.

If we can prove
they did all that,

it's obstruction.

- We prove that,
we don't need any soil samples.

- What can I do?

- You work on finding out
the connection

between Andy Forsyth
and the donors.

I'm gonna figure out what to do
if those samples do show up.

- Your Honor, Harvey Specter.

I'm representing the residents

of the North Park
Housing Project.

- Great.
All we need is Ms. Allen,

and we can actually
accomplish something.

- Sorry I'm late, Your Honor.

I had to put my contacts in
to make sure I was actually

seeing Jessica Pearson
in your chambers.

- And why wouldn't I be here?
- Because this is

a lawyers-only meeting,
and you're not licensed

to practice law in this state.
- And the last time I checked,

I don't need a license
to be the plaintiff.

- No, but you do need to live
in public housing,

which generally requires
not wearing $3,000 shoes.

- Power of attorney signed
by Lillian Cook

to Jessica Pearson, Your Honor.

She's a plaintiff
under the law.

- Your Honor, I don't care
what that thing says.

This project's been in
the works for three years,

and they are just stepping in
at the last minute

to get publicity.

- We're stepping in because the
wrecking ball is about to fly,

and you are not living up
to your end of the bargain.

- If you're referring
to the percentage

of low-income housing,

some minor adjustments
were made.

- Minor? You stood
in front of city council

and gave your word
that 35% of this development

would be reserved
for public housing.

The latest plans show
only 5% are going there,

and to hell with everyone else.
- Where did you get that?

That is not part
of the public record.

- Well, neither is the fact
that a shady developer

is ripping off the poor
to line his own pockets,

and you're helping him.
- Don't you say that to me.

I don't represent Pat McGann.

I represent the city
I've lived in my whole life.

And all you care about
is making a name for yourself

by using some poor woman.
- I'm not using anyone.

And you can--
- Okay, that's enough.

Ms. Pearson,
if I deem you to be

manipulating this Lillian Cook
for your own purposes,

I will shut
this thing down myself.

- Your Honor,
how can my client prove to you

what's in her heart?

- I don't care
what's in her heart.

I want to hear from this woman,

and I want to hear from her
tomorrow.

- Eli, I'm glad I caught you.
You got a minute?

- Actually, Alex,
I've got a lunch, so--

- That wasn't a question.
It was a statement.

- Let me guess.
This is about that lawsuit

Stanley Gordon filed
on behalf of your ex-partners.

Well, you can just turn
yourself right around,

because my heart isn't exactly
bleeding for you.

- I don't give a shit
what your heart is doing, Eli.

'Cause I'm not here
for your sympathy.

I'm here 'cause you're gonna
give every one of those

bastards a job.
- You son of a bitch.

- Don't give me that.

Your partner set me up
for murder,

and you didn't bat an eye.

- So I make offers to more
than 15 of those guys.

They won't take those jobs
anyway because we don't have

that kind of money,
and everybody knows it.

So it's either 15
or put me away.

'Cause that's the best
you're gonna get.

- 15.

Raises and promotions
for every goddamn one of them.

- You know, the architecture
here is stunning.

If I worked here,
I'd be in a much better mood

than you seem to be.

- I have nothing to say to you
outside of court.

- I'm trying to avoid
court altogether.

- What do you want,
Ms. Pearson?

- I want a sit-down
with the mayor.

Well, that's not gonna happen.

- You're his right hand.
You can walk right into

his office and make it happen.
- I'm not his right hand.

I'm the City Attorney,
and I don't have time

to arrange courtesy meetings
for people who go after

our civil servants.
- Look, I know there's

bad blood with
the 13th precinct situation.

I'm just looking for
some sort of accommodation.

- And what makes you think
I have the power to do that?

All I do is represent
the city's interest

without passion or prejudice.

- And which one was it without
when you came for my license?

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

- And what about the mayor?
Does he know?

Or is that why you don't want
me talking to him?

Because if I did,
I'd tell him he's up

for reelection in six months,

and this project
doesn't look good for him.

- Whatever it is
you think you know--

if there's any understanding
to be had on this project,

you're gonna have to come
to it with Pat McGann.

Not me, and not the mayor.

And let me give you
a free piece of advice.

This is Chicago.
If you wanna get something done,

you're gonna need more than
your Louboutins

and your holier-than-thou
attitude.

- 11, okay?

And don't let them skimp
on any of the materials--

- Patrick McGann?

- Give us a minute, will you?

You must be Jessica Pearson.
- You know who I am.

- Well, I've never
seen your picture,

but there aren't a lot of women
that match your description.

Now, what can I do for you,
Jessica?

- You can hire me
to find another location

for your project
that doesn't throw people

out of their homes.

- As much as I'd like to spend
time getting to know you,

there's no way you and I
working together

is in our future.

- And what if I told you you'd
regret making that decision?

- Well, I'd say that you can
stop trying to get to the mayor

because he's not taking
a meeting with you.

And you can take that
to the bank.

Because I'm the one
that makes the decisions here.

- Is that really something you
want to be saying to me?

- You think he doesn't know
how it works?

- I think it's not legal
to trade money for influence.

And you should be careful
who you say that to.

- Every nickel
I've ever given Bobby Novak

is aboveboard.

So why don't you just
go put that woman

on the stand tomorrow
and be done with it?

Because I guarantee you,
when this is over,

my building's going up.

- Lillian Cook?

- Could be.
Who are you?

- My name is Harvey Specter.

I'm here to prepare you
for court.

- What do you mean, court?

- I mean if you want
to stay in your home,

you're gonna have to testify.
And it's gonna be tomorrow.

- No.
Uh-uh.

Jessica Pearson's
handling that.

- She sent me here to help.

- Well, you tell her
I don't need help from someone

who doesn't know me
and, from the looks of him,

thinks this whole place
is a piece of garbage.

- What I think is you lived
here most of your life,

and now you're gonna get kicked
into the street

because they didn't live up
to their end of the bargain.

- You a coffee man,
or are you one of them

chai latte drinking
pretty boys?

- Both.

I'm a coffee man
through and through,

but there's no denying
I'm pretty.

- Not as pretty as a young
Denzel, but you'll do.

- Where's Harvey?

- Oh, you don't need to worry
about where Harvey is, Stanley.

I'm handling this negotiation.
- Oh, I get it.

He didn't have the balls
to face me,

so he dumped it on you.
- He didn't dump anything.

I wanted to be here.
- Well, Sparky,

unless you also
wanna be in court,

you better have those job
offers for my clients.

- Your clients want jobs?
Here they are.

- You're telling me Eli Gould
wants to hire them?

- Yes, he does, because your
clients are not damaged goods.

They are hot commodities.
And these offers are the proof.

- Spare me the bullshit.
- You don't like bullshit?

Then why don't you admit the
second we hire those partners,

they vote us out,

sell the firm
to Rand Kaldor Zane,

and you make a seven-figure
finder's fee?

- You're right.
That's the plan.

I gotta admit, I didn't think
you'd figure it out.

- And you can take that plan
and shove it up your asshole,

because there's not gonna be
any settlement.

- Then you've got a problem.

Because you may have found
something on Eli.

But turns out...

I got more.

- Bullshit, you're bluffing.
- Pick up the phone.

Ask Eli if those offers
are still valid.

They're not.
And not only that,

we go to trial, he writes me
an affidavit saying

you extorted him
to employ those partners

after he told you
there's no way

he'd ever hire a single lawyer
that came from your firm.

- What do you want?
- You know what I want.

But I'll tell you what.
Since Harvey's not here,

you take my offer right now,

I might even leave your name up
on the new firm.

- Get out of my sight,
you smug piece of shit.

- It's your funeral.

See you in court, Sparky.

- Hey, what's going on?
I got your message.

- We just blew a small fortune
on jack shit.

- Don't tell me the soil
reports still didn't come in.

- Worse.
Those samples came back.

And they're all negative.
- Negative?

No, there's no way.
- It's right here, Mike.

- Then they must not have
tested deep enough to--

- They took samples
down to 10 feet.

There isn't enough lead
in there to fill a pencil.

- Oh, my God.
I don't believe this.

They fixed the results.
- They did,

but not how you think.

Six months ago,
the school got

an anonymous donation
to redo its grounds.

They called it
a beautification project.

- And let me guess.
They beautified

every inch of soil
down to 10 feet.

- Yeah, and I didn't think
anything of it at the time

because the plans just said
it was adding new trees.

- Oh, God.
Those fu--ers.

They knew this was coming.

And then they got rid
of the evidence.

- Mike.
- Rachel, please tell me

you found something.
- I did, but it's not good.

- What now?
- I did some checking.

Mike, Andy Forsyth's been
in Seattle for the past year

opening his own firm.

The job was real.
