All language subtitles for Suits.s07e16.1080p_Track04

- 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.

He had nothing to do

with cutting the funding
for the clinic.

- Okay, we might not have a way
to get them on that,

but we know that they did this.

We need to find the connection

between
this beautification project

and Discharge Power,
and we need to find it now.

- I went to every single
meeting at the city council.

They promised
to build new apartments

before they tore
this place down.

I've got the contract
right here, see?

Memorandum of Agreement.

- And how did you feel
when you found out

a Memorandum of Agreement
isn't legally enforceable?

- I felt like a fool.
That's what I felt like.

That apartment is my home.

I've paid rent on it
for 51 years.

I live there with my daughter
and my grandchildren.

This is our community,
our home.

And we don't deserve
to be thrown out in the street

like dogs.
- No, Lillian, you don't.

But the developer's saying
there's other housing available

out there for you.
- Maybe.

But he didn't say none of that

when he asked us
to sign on that dotted line.

And a man who would lie like
that would...

sell his own mother
to make a dollar.

- Thank you.

- I'm glad you brought up
the question of character,

Ms. Cook, because I'd like
to ask you about yours.

- I don't have
anything to hide.

- Ms. Cook, are you related
to anyone in this courtroom?

- What?
- It's a simple question.

Are you a relative
of anyone in this room?

And I'd like to point out
you lie under oath,

the state penitentiary
will be your next home.

- Jessica Pearson is my niece.

- Well, isn't that
a small world?

- Relevance?
- The relevance is that

Jessica Pearson
is using her own aunt

to make a name for herself.
- That's not true.

My niece cares about the people
of my community.

- And after a lifetime
of no contact,

did she call you to offer help,
or did you call her?

- She called me,
but--

- So you're telling the court

she contacted you
out of nowhere

because she cares
about the people of Chicago?

- Your Honor,
Ms. Cook can't speak to that.

- No, she can't.
But somehow she has.

And, Your Honor, you said
if you found Jessica Pearson

to be using a straw man,

you would remove
her power of attorney.

If this isn't proof of that,
then I don't know what is.

- Your Honor--
- I agree.

Ms. Pearson,
you're no longer permitted

in my courtroom
on this matter.

As for the TRO,

you'll have my ruling
within 48 hours.

- What the hell?
- What the hell, what?

- When were you gonna tell me
who this woman was?

- I didn't keep it from you,
Harvey.

- Oh, bullshit.
I spent half the night

with her last night,
and there is no way

that doesn't come up
unless you hid it from me.

- What difference does it make

that I have a personal
connection to this case?

- The difference is,
they just blindsided me.

- Harvey, I--

- Look, I put my firm
in jeopardy for you.

You're playing me,
and I'm done with it.

- No, you can't be done.
I still need you.

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

I'm getting on the next plane.

You can finish
this thing yourself.

- What do you want me to say,
Harvey?

That my father grew up here?
And he was poor?

And I didn't live
on Park Avenue

for the first ten years
of my life?

'Cause I didn't.

- I didn't know that.

- Now you do.

- Well, what does all of that
have to do with this?

- My father died
eight weeks ago.

That woman is his sister.

And he turned his back on her
and everyone else here.

And it ate away at him
for his entire life.

- So you decided
to do something about it.

- Yes, I did.

- Okay.

- Okay, what?
- I know you have a plan.

Tell me what you need.

I'm trying to figure out
which costs more.

The King of the Jungle
up there

or putting the mayor in office.

- I put that thing down myself.

You know, and I'm trying to
figure out why you New Yorkers

don't know how
to make an appointment.

- What I know, Mr. McGann,
is how to make a deal.

- Yeah, well, after what
happened in court this morning,

I don't think I need to.

- If you think you got this
in the bag,

you are dead wrong.

But you are right
about one thing.

Jessica Pearson wants
to make a name for herself,

starting with a seat
on city council.

- And what does that have
to do with me?

- Because all you have to do
to make this thing to away

is give back enough units
to make it look like

she got a win.

Guarantee her aunt a spot
in the new building,

then back her when she runs.
- Anything else?

You want a park or a bridge
named after her?

- Yeah, there is
one more thing.

You're not just
gonna endorse her.

You're gonna make a donation.

Because without it,
everybody's gonna know

it's bullshit.
- You people.

You think I'm gonna
give that woman a dime?

- That's the beauty of it, Pat.

You don't have
to give her a penny.

- A million dollars.

- Cashier's check.
Untraceable.

All you're doing
is giving her own money back.

- Just so we're clear...

Your client's dealing her way
into office.

- That's the Chicago way,
isn't it?

- So is when she gets there,

she remembers
who did this for her.

- She wouldn't have it
any other way.

- Well?
- It didn't work.

- What the hell do you mean,
it didn't work?

- I mean I went back to Gould,

and he told me he doesn't care
what we have on those tapes.

He's not helping us
because Gordon's got worse.

- Well, then what the hell
do you suggest?

We can't go to court.

The second we sign those
partners back,

we're gonna be signing
our own death warrants.

- Not necessarily.

- What do you mean,
not necessarily?

- I mean if we make
the deal sweet enough,

when they come back over,
they'll forget all about

Rand and Kaldor's promises.

- And that would work

except for the fact that
there are years of bad blood

between me, Harvey,
and every one of those people.

They don't trust us.
- But maybe they'll trust me.

- What?
- I know this sounds crazy.

But if you make me Managing
Partner until we can--

- I don't believe this.

Harvey leaves for two days,
and you wanna throw his shit

into the street?
- I'm not saying that.

- Well, it sure as hell sounds
like you are.

- God damn it, Louis,
I'm trying the best I can.

- Well, then try something else.

Because giving you the reins

a half hour
before we drive off a cliff

isn't gonna do shit.

- Hey.
Uh, can I come in?

- It's late.
Everyone's sleeping.

- Please.
I'll only be a minute.

I'm sorry about what happened
this morning.

I know they used your mother

to try to paint me
as self-serving, but--

- Look, that's all well
and good, Jessica.

But right now, I'm wondering
if it's them using her or you.

- Angela, I'm not
using your mother.

- Then why did they give us
our choice of apartments

if she sells out
everyone around us?

- Who's they?
- That's all you have to say?

Who's they?

- No, I didn't mean it
that way.

- Look, "they" is the lady
you say is using us.

She told us all about the deal
your handsome friend is making.

- Angela, that woman
is not your friend.

She's trying to--

- I know
what she's trying to do.

I wanna know
what you're trying to do.

- I'm trying to reconnect
with my family.

And make things better
at the same time.

- I remember when you first
started coming around here.

My mother was so happy.
She just took you right in,

'cause that's all
she ever wanted.

And don't get me wrong,
I got nothing against you.

But your famous surgeon father,
he turned his back on us.

And from what I can tell,
you're no different.

- No, the difference is
I'm trying to get to know you.

- Well, if you knew us,
you'd know that selling out

the people around us
ain't gonna make things better.

Come here, baby.

- Wait a second.

When did you say
the beautification happened?

- They redid the entire grounds
six weeks after we filed suit.

- That doesn't make
any sense.

Six weeks is nothing.

Something like this doesn't
happen without planning.

- Which means they didn't just
know they had liability

after we brought the suit.

They knew they had it
long before that.

- Of course they knew.
The question is,

how do we prove it?

- No, I think
what Mike's saying is,

they knew they had liability.

So they must've had
liability insurance.

- They always do.
- Yeah, but when they know

they need it,
they get more.

I mean, think about it.

Collins offered us
100,000 a family

inside of 15 seconds.
- Okay, hold on.

I'm getting confused
about the math.

- Then how's this for math?

The settlement he offered
is exactly five times

what they're normally
insured for.

- And if a bus driver takes out
a policy for $10 million

and his wife runs him over
with a bus,

that's not a coincidence.
- Mike, I need to talk to you.

- Donna, what is it?
- It's Louis.

- What about him?
I just talked to him earlier.

He was fine.
- He's not fine.

He needs your help,
and I'm here to make sure

that he gets it.

- Donna, this--
- Mike, Harvey said something

like this might happen.
You gave him your word.

- Let's go.
- Mike.

We got this.

- How did you get in here?

- What the hell's
wrong with you?

You had no goddamn business
calling my aunt.

- Sorry to disappoint you,

but we're not entering
into an agreement

without making sure all of
the parties are on board.

- And it's up to me
to deliver her.

- Did you really think
that we weren't gonna do

our due diligence?
I know you think Harvard

is the only law school
in the country,

but we have a pretty good one
here too,

and I was president
of its law review.

- I don't give a shit
if you're the Sultan of Brunei.

You're gonna set up
that meeting

between me and the mayor.

- And I don't know how many
times I have to tell you this.

That's not gonna happen.

And I know what you're
gonna ask him,

and the answer's no.
He's never gonna cut me loose.

- Now, why would
I ask him that?

- Because we both
know you're right.

I was the one who went
after your license.

But if you think he's gonna get
rid of me for that...

You don't understand the way
thing work around here.

- Oh, I understand
how things work.

And it's been going on
since the beginning of time.

- He keeps me around
because I do what it takes

without having to be asked.

I don't complain about it

and it never comes back on him.

So you get your aunt on board
or don't.

But don't ever come in here
thinking the mayor is gonna be

the answer to your
problems again.

- I don't need the mayor, Keri.

Because I have the man you said

was the real player here
in the first place.

So if I were you,

I'd start brushing up
on my résumé.

- How'd it go?
- Change of plans.

You're calling Pat McGann
and telling him

it's me or her.

- Jessica, they don't know you.
You can't ask that much.

- Yes, I can.
- I'm telling you,

it's a bad idea.

- And I need you
to do it anyway.

- Need a lift?
- I have a car coming.

Thanks.
- You sure?

Beautiful woman downtown
all alone middle of the night.

It isn't safe.

- And isn't your usual route
the airport?

- My work takes me
all kinds of places.

- And what exactly
is your work?

- I make problems go away.
And I love my job.

- You think you can scare me
with your threats?

- Lady, if all I did
were make threats,

then I wouldn't
even have a job.

Looks like your ride's here
after all.

You have a safe night.

- Where the hell were you?
- The police came.

They told me I couldn't
stay here.

I had to drive
around the block.

- Next time, goddamn text me.

- Ma'am, are you okay?

- Just take me home.

- Louis,
are you working in here?

- Sometimes I like
to sit at my old desk

after everyone's gone.

What are you doing here?

- I, uh, thought maybe you
could use some help

on the Gordon lawsuit.
- What about the clinic?

You said you were
in the middle of it.

- Ah, that's okay.

Rachel and Oliver
are working on it.

- Donna told you,
didn't she?

- Yeah, she did.
- God damn it.

- She was just
doing her job, Louis.

- It's not her job to get you
to bail me out, Mike.

- Louis...

It's not your fault.
- That statement was my idea.

I went to Gordon with it
in the first place.

And we can pretend that

it's not what got us here,
but it is.

- Well, right now, I'm less
concerned with what got us here

than what's gonna get us out.
- You have an idea?

- I do.

They want us to offer them
partnerships here.

So what if we do that

but we also ask Zane
to come over

and to bring enough people
so that we can outvote them?

- Zane would never go for it.

We've asked him
a thousand times.

- Have we ever asked him
right after Rand and Kaldor

cut his legs out?

What about Harvey?
He comes back to find out

we've merged--
- He trusted us enough

to take care of this.

If this is what we have to do,

then this is
what we have to do.

You make sure they get
the offer in the morning.

Leave the rest to me.

- First Louis, then Rachel.

My money was
on Harvey being next.

- He's in Chicago
helping Jessica.

- He's in Chicago?

When his firm is
in an all out war?

- We're a family, Robert.
We told him we'd have his back.

- Uh-huh.

Then get to it.

The world thinks my heart lies
with you, anyway.

So you might as well
tell me what you need.

- Right, I don't know
how to say this,

so I'm just gonna say it.

We need you to come over
and join the firm.

- What?
- You come over,

you bring 20 people
who are loyal to you,

and we will have enough votes
to still keep control.

- Okay, let me
get this straight.

You want me to sneak out
of my own house

in the middle of the night?

You're talking about a place
I built with my own two hands.

- A place that we both know
isn't yours anymore.

- How is this even
supposed to work?

Whose name comes first?
Who's the managing partner?

- We can work it out later.

- No, we're gonna work this out
goddamn now.

- Well, I can't do that.
- Are you shitting me?

Does Harvey
even know you're here?

- No, but he told us
to do whatever it takes

to save the firm,
and as far as I can tell,

this is the best way
to save both our asses.

- Would you leave your home?

Would Jessica?

Would Harvey?
Because I don't think so.

- Maybe not.
But like you said,

the world thinks your heart
lies with us, anyway.

Maybe it really does.

Hey, how did it go
with Oliver?

- He got a lead
on the policies,

but he can't get to them
till the morning.

- Good.

- Well?
- Well, what?

- Did you talk to my dad?

Louis told me.

- He said he'd think about it.

- So basically if my dad
doesn't come around by tomorrow,

Specter Litt
could cease to exist.

- Which, ironically, means
the only way we still have jobs

is if we're both working
for your dad.

- Unless we aren't.

- What are you talking about?
- Mike, I went and saw

Andy Forsyth today.

That job still exists.

- Wait a second,
you went to see him

about us moving to Seattle?
- I asked you what you would

think if I said
I'd consider it.

- Rachel--
- Just hear me out.

And if you don't wanna do it,
we won't do it.

But, Mike, we're young
and we don't have any kids yet.

And if we're ever gonna
do something like this

in our lives...

now is the time.

- If we do this,
we'd have to leave within days.

- I know.
- And what about the wedding?

- What about it?
- We're not gonna fly back here

in six weeks to have it.
- We could delay it.

- I don't wanna delay it.
- We could move it up.

- Then let's move it up.

I'm serious.
We can make that happen.

Whoever can make it makes it.
Whoever can't can't.

- Wait, do you really wanna
take this job?

- I don't know if I wanna take
this job or not.

But what I do know is that
I've wanted to marry you

from the second I met you,
and I am tired of waiting.

So tomorrow Oliver's gonna find
the answer or not.

Either way...

we should do this.

I can't believe it.

It's so exciting.

- Oh, Jesus Christ.
What is it now?

- It's nothing bad,
but it is urgent.

- What's going on?
- I don't wanna get into why,

but Mike and I decided

to move up the wedding.

And we need a miracle worker
to make it happen.

- Holy shit, are you sure?
- I'm not just sure.

I'm excited.

- Then I just have
three questions for you.

Band or DJ?
What kind of food?

And rustic chic
or glam all the way?

- And if I thought you didn't
already have the answer

to all those questions,
I wouldn't have come to you

in the first place.

- I love you, Rachel.
- I love you too, Donna.

One more thing.

You can't tell Harvey
or Jessica.

- Rachel--
- Please.

Mike and I don't want the start
of our new life to ruin theirs.

- Okay.

- Ms. Pearson.
- Aren't you a gentleman.

- Well, I was taught
to stand for a lady.

- Whoever taught you
taught you well.

I'm glad you decided to call.

What's good here?

- I don't give a shit
what's good here.

I just came to give you this.

- I'm not used to being stuck
with the check.

- And I'm not used
to being played

by two assholes
from out of town.

- No one's playing anybody,
Pat.

This is a simple
business transaction.

- Well, I don't do business
with people

who force me
to fire my friends.

- Listen to me.
This doesn't have to--

- Enjoy your meal.
It's on me.

- Then I guess I'll see you
in court.

- Maybe.
But you're gonna have to have

someone else handle
your case for you.

- What did you do?
- I didn't do anything.

See, apparently Mr. Slick
didn't follow all

the procedures
for filing out of state.

Turns out Judge Merrick's
a real stickler

about these things.
But don't worry.

I'm sure your boy's gonna
be able to reapply

in another 12 months.

- God damn it, Mike,
Gordon's about to get here,

and I have to make a decision.

I have not heard from you
and I have not heard from Zane.

Please call me back
as soon as you get this.

- Okay, Louis.
I'm here.

Court's starting
in ten minutes.

So what is it?
We going to trial,

or are you gonna take on
these partners?

What the hell's going on?
Are we doing this or not?

- All right, Stanley, you win.

Give me the agreement.

- Signed and ready to go.

- Stanley.

- Robert, what the hell
are you doing here?

- I just came to make sure
that the paperwork

was in order
for your clients to come over

and join our new firm.

And before you can say
your little army can block it,

it already happened this
morning while you were in here.

- You son of a bitch.
I always knew you had a thing

for Jessica Pearson.
- You watch your mouth.

- Robert.
I got this.

Stanley, why don't you move
your fat face away from mine?

Because I need to talk
to my new partner.

Sparky.
- This isn't over.

- Why the hell did you not
tell me about all of this?

- Because if there's one thing
I know about my new partner,

if he would have known
what we were up to,

he would have found a way
to shit it up.

One other thing.

When Harvey gets back,
you tell him...

my name goes up there first.

- What's going on?
Did the judge make a ruling?

- More like a statement.

McGann had you
kicked off the case.

- What?
Bullshit.

He can't get away with that.
- He can.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

I got this.
- Jessica, these people aren't

messing around.
They do this to me,

you don't know what else
they'll do.

- And my record is as good
on the road as it is at home.

I'm sticking to the plan.

- Then I'm riding
shotgun with you.

- The hell you are.
You're going home.

- I'm not going anywhere.

- Harvey, when were you gonna
tell me Mike and Rachel

moved up their wedding?
- When you were out of trouble,

that's when.

I didn't know myself
until an hour ago.

- Well, now you know.

You're the closest thing
that kid has to family.

If you're not there for him,
you're gonna regret it

for the rest of your life.
- Jessica.

- Harvey.
This is my family here.

I denied they existed
for too long,

and I'm going
to take care of them.

Now you need to go.

Take care of yours.

- Be careful with these people.

- I will.

- Before I ask you my question,

I wanna make sure
you understand

what the penalty
for perjury is.

- I know what perjury is.
- And you also know that

20 of your executives
pulled their kids

from Treetop Elementary School
within the first six months

of the plant opening.
- Objection.

Relevance?
- The relevance is that

they knew what they were doing.

That's why they pulled
their kids from school,

pulled soil from the ground.

- You have no proof of that.

- No, but I do have proof
that your client increased

the insurance policy
on that plant to $15 million--

the exact amount of
the settlement you offered us,

and five times the amount
you have on any other plant.

- That was
a very generous offer.

- No, it's what you've been
prepared to pay

for almost a year.
- That's not true.

- Which part isn't true?

The insurance policy?
Because I have that right here.

- Objection, badgering.
- Overruled.

- Mr. Evans,
I am asking you under oath,

why is one plant insured for so
much more than all the others?

- I'm not in charge
of our insurance policies.

- Your name's on the policy.
Isn't that right?

I remind you, Mr. Evans,
you're under oath.

- I'd like a moment
with my client.

- And I'd like him to answer
the goddamn question.

- The witness will answer
the question.

- Why so much insurance?
- What do you want me to say?

- I want you to admit that
you knew the plant was toxic

and you covered it up.
- All right, we knew.

We took precautions,
but they didn't work.

And the plant was
already open.

So we offered
to make things right.

What else do you want?

- What I want is for those kids
to have never gotten sick

in the first place.

But that's not
gonna happen now,

thanks to you.

You can't make this right.

But you sure as hell
can do better

than say each of these
innocent children's lives

is only worth $100,000.

- What's it gonna take?

- A million dollars a family.

Right now.
Take it or leave it.

- Done.

- I know you prefer
appointments,

but you left something
at the restaurant.

- I didn't leave anything.

- You left your leverage.
- What is this?

- It's a photo shoot starring
you giving me a cashier's check

for $1 million.

Not ten minutes before removing
my lawyer from the case

and one day before I withdraw
my suit to shut you down.

- Which would mean I paid
you off to drop this thing.

- It sure does look that way,
doesn't it?

- You're willing to make it
look like you're that corrupt?

- Your people did that
when they took away my license.

And now that I'm not
an attorney anymore,

it's not illegal
for me to drop this thing.

But for you to pay me
to drop it,

that's a crime.
- I didn't pay you.

- Good luck convincing
a jury of that.

- I will.

Because that was
a cashier's check.

It didn't come from me.

- And all you'd have to do
to prove that

is to open up
your bank account.

I didn't think so.

And, Pat, this is
a federal housing project,

so in case you're thinking
of trying anything funny,

the judge, the jury,
and the prosecution

will not be from Chicago.

Have a good night.

- How's your night going?

- My night is just fine.

And you can tell your boss
if he's still trying

to intimidate me,
he's wasting his time.

- Or you can tell him yourself.
- I just did.

- I'm not talking
about Patrick McGann.

I'm talking about Mayor Novak.

- You work for the mayor?
- Yeah, I do.

And he would like to see you
right now.

- And how do I know you're not
gonna take me somewhere

and drop me off the roof
of a building?

- 'Cause that's a city car,
I'm on duty,

and we both know the man who
took your little photo shoot

with Mr. McGann is camped out
across the street.

- Then let's go.
- One condition.

The paparazzi stays here.

- This is pretty far
out of the way.

I'm not even sure
we're in Chicago anymore.

- I usually try
to meet blackmailers

outside the office.
- Just for the record,

I'm not the one
who started this throwdown.

- It doesn't matter
who started it.

We're here to finish it.
- What'd you have in mind?

Guns or knives?
- I was thinking more along

the lines of an embrace.

Here's the thing, Ms. Pearson.

Your little stunt

could cost me the election,
no doubt about it.

But if you pull the pin
on that grenade,

I guarantee
the least that happens

is your hand gets
blown off too.

- I'm waiting for
the embrace part.

- Well, here it is.
You're a formidable woman.

Instead of creating problems
for me,

you should be fixing them.

- Are you offering me a job?

- I'm offering you
an opportunity.

- What the hell does Pat McGann
have on you?

- We're not talking
about Pat.

We're talking about you.
- Okay.

Let's talk about me.

Why the hell should I get
into bed with a man like you?

- Because you ran one of the
best law firms in New York.

You had money, you had power,
you had influence.

- And you're gonna have to do
a hell of a lot better

than that
because I left it all behind

to make a difference.
- And how's that going?

You're not even
a lawyer anymore.

You really wanna
make a difference?

Take this job.
Do things from the inside.

- It sounds like you want me
to clean up your messes.

Not make a difference.
- I'm not a charity.

I'm a politician.

And you can't have one
without the other.

- Well, tell me this,
Mr. Mayor.

How's your current number two
going to feel

if I replace her?
Because if I come work for you,

it's not gonna be
as number three.

- That's between you and her.

The only thing
I give a shit about

is that you drop that lawsuit

and never mention the North Park
Housing Project again.

- What?
- Did you really think

you were gonna get something
for nothing here?

The lawsuit disappears.

That is nonnegotiable.

- No way.
- What choice do you have?

Your sidekick's gone.
You're off the case.

- Bullshit.
- It's over anyway.

- Nothing is over.
I'll find a way.

- What the hell are you
fighting for?

- I made a promise
to my family.

- We'll take care
of your family.

- They don't want
taken care of.

They want their community
taken care of.

- So figure out
how to do it working for me.

'Cause I don't care what you
think you have on Pat McGann.

That project's going up.

And I need an answer
by tomorrow.

- I can't believe
you actually pulled this off.

- Mm, yeah, you can.

- You told him.
- Yeah, Mike, I did.

'Cause Rachel trusted me
to put this wedding together,

and it...wouldn't have felt
like a celebration

without Harvey.

- Thanks, Donna.

- See you up there.
- Yeah.

Just in time.

I didn't think you were gonna
be able to make it.

- What can I say?
I like to make an entrance.

- It's gonna be awkward
when my real best man shows up.

- Oh, I think it's clear
who the best man is.

- Mm, okay, maybe.

Good.

Not the best.

- Hey, you ready for this?

- Yeah, I am.

- I think you are too.

- From the first
second I met you,

I knew I wanted to be here
with you someday.

Walking down the aisle
arm in arm.

- I know that
I fought it at first,

but now, Mike, I can't imagine
living alongside anyone else

for the rest of my life.

- If I've learned one thing,

it's that we never know
what the future holds.

And that could be
a scary thing.

But I know that there
is nothing that I can't handle

when I have you by my side.

- You are the strongest man
I've ever met.

And you make me stronger.

You're the husband
I've always wanted.

And I can't wait to begin
our adventure together.

- Do you, Michael James Ross,

take Rachel Elizabeth Zane

to be your lawfully
wedded wife?

- I do.

- And do you, Rachel,
take Michael

to be your
lawfully wedded husband?

- I do.

- Then I now pronounce you
man and wife.

- Cheers.

- I gotta say, Mike,
those were some beautiful vows.

Especially the part
about family.

- Thanks, Harvey.

And I didn't get
to say it before,

but I'm really glad
you made it.

- Me too.
But I should be the one

who's saying thank you.
You saved the firm.

- Harvey--
- And before you say anything,

let me just say I was wrong.

You're senior partner material.
You are ready.

And when you come back
from your honeymoon--

- We're not coming back,
Harvey.

Rachel and I
were offered a chance

to run a firm in Seattle.

It's a--it's a place that
only takes class action cases

against "Fortune" 500 companies,
and...

Well, we decided to go for it.
- Mike--

- Harvey,
when Donna came to me,

told me the firm
was in trouble,

I did exactly
what I told you I would,

but I don't ever wanna have

to make a choice
like that again.

- You don't have to.

If you wanna do more
pro bono cases--

- That's not the point, Harvey,
and you know it.

This is who I am.

It's who I've always been.

It's time, Harvey.

It's time.

- Jessica, good.
I'm glad you're here.

I need to talk to you.
- I need to talk to you first.

- What is it?
- Starting on Monday,

I'm working for the mayor.
- What?

- Jeff--
- You sold out your family?

- I didn't sell them out.
He's giving me an opportunity

to change things
from the inside,

and I'm taking it.

- Jessica, you're making
a mistake.

- I told you.
I can take care of myself.

- And what if you can't?

- What is that
supposed to mean?

- I talked to my friend
over at Justice.

They're looking
at your new friends

for the murder
of that original plaintiff.

Which means if you get
into bed with them,

you either end up
like that plaintiff,

or you end up like them.

- What makes you think
I can't handle

a local politician and
a shady real estate developer?

- So you've already
made up your mind?

- Yes.

I have.

- Well...

I just hope that you're
the first person in the world

who can lie down with dogs
and not come up with fleas.

- Hey.

- What do you say?

- I don't mind if I do.
