1
00:00:02,457 --> 00:00:04,918
I'm offering you a deal.
One for you, one for me.
2
00:00:05,043 --> 00:00:06,920
You are not getting my office.
Oh, yes, I am.
3
00:00:07,003 --> 00:00:08,046
Because she's gone, Harvey.
4
00:00:08,129 --> 00:00:09,881
It's time for you
to take the reins.
5
00:00:09,964 --> 00:00:10,965
I'm here to ask you out.
6
00:00:11,049 --> 00:00:13,051
As of this morning,
I'm the head of my firm.
7
00:00:13,134 --> 00:00:14,719
And when I thought of
sharing that with someone,
8
00:00:14,803 --> 00:00:15,970
I thought of you.
9
00:00:16,054 --> 00:00:17,138
One dinner.
10
00:00:17,222 --> 00:00:19,390
I figured out what I want,
and I want to be a partner at this firm.
11
00:00:19,474 --> 00:00:21,476
All I'm asking
is for a seat at the table.
12
00:00:21,559 --> 00:00:23,102
I'll have to ask
Louis about it.
13
00:00:23,186 --> 00:00:25,897
You're afraid to take
responsibility for this firm
14
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:27,148
and you won't
admit it to yourself.
15
00:00:27,232 --> 00:00:28,316
You told me that
you are now head of the firm.
16
00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:30,151
I am. I just
haven't told Louis yet.
17
00:00:30,235 --> 00:00:31,694
I think this may
have been a mistake.
18
00:00:31,778 --> 00:00:32,862
You don't think
I've had fantasies
19
00:00:32,946 --> 00:00:35,240
that one day you'd take me
in your arms and kiss me?
20
00:00:35,323 --> 00:00:36,574
Those fantasies
weren't of a man
21
00:00:36,658 --> 00:00:39,536
who's still too afraid to take control
of a firm that bears his name.
22
00:00:39,619 --> 00:00:42,038
I'm not giving up my associates!
That's enough.
23
00:00:42,121 --> 00:00:44,457
Donna asked for a seat at the table,
and I gave her one.
24
00:00:44,541 --> 00:00:46,167
You don't make her
goddamn senior partner.
25
00:00:46,251 --> 00:00:48,586
If Jessica were here,
she'd tell you to do the same exact thing.
26
00:00:48,670 --> 00:00:49,671
Jessica isn't here.
27
00:00:49,754 --> 00:00:51,256
But I am.
28
00:00:51,339 --> 00:00:53,091
I think I know
what you may need.
29
00:00:53,174 --> 00:00:54,717
If you're telling me
that I need to talk to Tara...
30
00:00:54,801 --> 00:00:56,135
You were going
to get married.
31
00:00:56,219 --> 00:00:59,180
That can't all end
over a voicemail.
32
00:00:59,264 --> 00:01:00,932
I know we haven't spoken.
33
00:01:01,432 --> 00:01:03,351
I just really need
to see you tonight.
34
00:01:29,127 --> 00:01:30,461
Oh, wow.
35
00:01:31,504 --> 00:01:33,798
The sunrise is beautiful
from up here.
36
00:01:33,882 --> 00:01:35,383
To be honest,
37
00:01:35,466 --> 00:01:36,926
I can't remember the last
time I saw the sunrise.
38
00:01:37,010 --> 00:01:38,136
Really?
39
00:01:39,637 --> 00:01:43,474
It takes something pretty special
to get me up before 7:00 a.m.
40
00:01:48,563 --> 00:01:51,983
As I recall, I was
pretty special last night.
41
00:01:52,317 --> 00:01:53,568
There.
42
00:01:53,651 --> 00:01:55,028
You surprised me again.
43
00:01:55,653 --> 00:01:58,907
You know, the truth is,
I'm a little surprised by all this myself.
44
00:01:59,115 --> 00:02:00,074
What do you mean?
45
00:02:00,158 --> 00:02:02,911
I mean, you disappear
for nearly a year,
46
00:02:02,994 --> 00:02:06,581
and then one day,
you suddenly show up in a '57 Chevy.
47
00:02:06,664 --> 00:02:07,874
'72 Ferrari.
48
00:02:07,957 --> 00:02:09,417
But, yeah.
49
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:11,336
And you sweep me
off my feet.
50
00:02:11,794 --> 00:02:13,296
And I liked it.
51
00:02:13,796 --> 00:02:16,424
That's good.
Because I wasn't sure you would.
52
00:02:16,507 --> 00:02:19,427
Of course, you weren't.
You don't really know me yet.
53
00:02:21,179 --> 00:02:24,182
Until yesterday,
we'd spent about 50 hours together,
54
00:02:24,265 --> 00:02:26,392
and we'd spent most of them
talking about you.
55
00:02:26,476 --> 00:02:28,937
I know. And that's what I
love about our relationship.
56
00:02:33,191 --> 00:02:34,651
Harvey.
Paula.
57
00:02:36,903 --> 00:02:39,906
Before you say what I think you're
going to say, let me say...
58
00:02:41,699 --> 00:02:43,618
You may know me
better than anyone.
59
00:02:43,701 --> 00:02:46,371
And now, I'd like
to get to know you, too.
60
00:02:46,454 --> 00:02:48,164
I'd like that.
61
00:02:56,381 --> 00:02:59,884
I guess what I'm trying to say is,
I acted irrationally.
62
00:02:59,968 --> 00:03:03,721
But, please, Tara,
if you could just give me another chance.
63
00:03:05,765 --> 00:03:09,268
I promise you that I will
never let you down again.
64
00:03:11,229 --> 00:03:13,189
You know you can't
say that, Louis.
65
00:03:13,272 --> 00:03:14,691
Wait, I'm sorry. What?
This is my role play.
66
00:03:14,774 --> 00:03:16,442
I can say
whatever the hell I want.
67
00:03:16,526 --> 00:03:17,610
And we've talked about you
68
00:03:17,694 --> 00:03:19,570
making bold proclamations
about your own behavior.
69
00:03:19,654 --> 00:03:20,655
What does that
have to do with this?
70
00:03:20,738 --> 00:03:23,908
You just promised to never
let Tara down again.
71
00:03:23,992 --> 00:03:25,618
That is unrealistic.
72
00:03:25,702 --> 00:03:28,079
What happens when you
inevitably break that promise?
73
00:03:28,162 --> 00:03:30,039
I'll apologize and promise
I'll never do it again.
74
00:03:30,748 --> 00:03:33,001
And you don't see a problem
with that pattern?
75
00:03:33,084 --> 00:03:36,004
What I see, Dr. Lipschitz,
is we're 46 minutes into this session
76
00:03:36,087 --> 00:03:37,755
and I haven't gotten
closure yet.
77
00:03:37,839 --> 00:03:39,549
Louis, we spent seven years
78
00:03:39,632 --> 00:03:42,760
on the fact that your mother made
you wear Esther's hand-me-ups.
79
00:03:43,845 --> 00:03:45,888
You are not getting closure
in 50 minutes.
80
00:03:45,972 --> 00:03:48,307
Well, then,
what the hell am I paying you for?
81
00:03:48,433 --> 00:03:51,019
Okay, Louis.
82
00:03:52,770 --> 00:03:54,480
What's really
going on here?
83
00:03:55,648 --> 00:03:57,775
It's not about Tara.
84
00:04:01,946 --> 00:04:03,656
It's about the baby.
85
00:04:05,992 --> 00:04:08,286
I'm just worried
I'll never be a father.
86
00:04:12,623 --> 00:04:17,045
I think that's a good place
for us to pick up next week.
87
00:04:17,128 --> 00:04:18,504
What the...
Louis, calm down.
88
00:04:18,588 --> 00:04:20,256
No. I just told
you my deepest fear
89
00:04:20,339 --> 00:04:21,799
is that my clock
is running out
90
00:04:21,883 --> 00:04:23,051
and all you care about
is your precious time?
91
00:04:23,134 --> 00:04:24,802
Has it ever occurred to you
92
00:04:24,886 --> 00:04:28,598
that you don't have a clock and can
have children whenever you want?
93
00:04:28,681 --> 00:04:29,724
Well, that sounds
like a load of crap
94
00:04:29,807 --> 00:04:31,726
coming from a guy
who's looking at his clock.
95
00:04:31,809 --> 00:04:34,520
What about your idol,
Tony Randall?
96
00:04:38,066 --> 00:04:39,275
Oh, my God.
97
00:04:39,984 --> 00:04:42,737
Tony Randall fathered
his first child at 77.
98
00:04:42,820 --> 00:04:44,530
Doc, this is fantastic.
99
00:04:44,614 --> 00:04:46,115
So, you're good
till next week.
100
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:47,492
What are you, nuts?
I'm teetering.
101
00:04:47,575 --> 00:04:48,826
Clear up tomorrow,
all afternoon.
102
00:04:52,955 --> 00:04:54,207
I was at work.
103
00:04:54,499 --> 00:04:56,334
It was the kids'
daycare calling.
104
00:04:57,460 --> 00:04:58,836
Shannon never showed up.
105
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,505
And then what happened?
106
00:05:00,797 --> 00:05:02,298
Then the police called.
107
00:05:03,341 --> 00:05:04,383
My world ended.
108
00:05:04,467 --> 00:05:07,929
And one month later,
I got a letter from the insurance company
109
00:05:08,012 --> 00:05:09,806
saying Shannon lied
on her application.
110
00:05:09,889 --> 00:05:11,015
About what?
111
00:05:12,016 --> 00:05:14,102
They're claiming
she was a smoker.
112
00:05:14,185 --> 00:05:15,561
Was she?
No.
113
00:05:15,645 --> 00:05:18,064
She quit five years ago.
And she was totally upfront about it.
114
00:05:18,147 --> 00:05:20,691
So, then, why would they think
she lied on her application?
115
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,528
Because of this.
116
00:05:26,197 --> 00:05:27,949
It's a picture of Shannon
at her cousin's wedding.
117
00:05:28,032 --> 00:05:30,368
They sent it to me
along with her denied claim.
118
00:05:30,451 --> 00:05:33,412
Please tell me this picture
is over five years old.
119
00:05:33,496 --> 00:05:35,164
It was taken
eight months ago.
120
00:05:35,748 --> 00:05:37,291
They must have gone
into her Facebook page.
121
00:05:37,375 --> 00:05:38,376
Shit.
122
00:05:38,918 --> 00:05:40,795
It was one cigarette,
and I gave her hell for it.
123
00:05:40,878 --> 00:05:42,964
It doesn't matter
if it was one or 100.
124
00:05:43,047 --> 00:05:45,716
It's enough for them to claim
her policy is null and void.
125
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,927
My wife died
in a car accident, Mr. Ross.
126
00:05:49,053 --> 00:05:51,305
She was a healthy
39-year-old woman.
127
00:05:51,389 --> 00:05:54,475
She died rushing from her job
to pick up our children.
128
00:05:55,101 --> 00:05:56,811
What the hell does any of this
have to do with smoking?
129
00:05:56,894 --> 00:05:59,105
It shouldn't have
anything to do with it.
130
00:05:59,647 --> 00:06:02,316
But this company is not in the
business of helping people.
131
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,860
It's in the business
of making money.
132
00:06:03,943 --> 00:06:05,486
So, if they can find
any reason
133
00:06:05,570 --> 00:06:08,239
not to honor a claim,
they'll take it.
134
00:06:10,283 --> 00:06:13,494
Without that insurance money,
we're going to lose our home.
135
00:06:14,662 --> 00:06:15,746
Please.
136
00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:18,374
My children
have lost enough.
137
00:06:22,253 --> 00:06:23,754
I'll find a way.
138
00:06:26,299 --> 00:06:29,552
See the money,
wanna stay for your meal
139
00:06:29,635 --> 00:06:32,972
Get another piece of pie
for your wife
140
00:06:33,097 --> 00:06:36,392
Everybody wanna know
how it feel
141
00:06:36,475 --> 00:06:39,854
Everybody wanna see
what it's like
142
00:06:39,937 --> 00:06:42,899
I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind
143
00:06:42,982 --> 00:06:44,817
Me and missy is so early
144
00:06:44,901 --> 00:06:46,861
Busy, busy making money
145
00:06:46,944 --> 00:06:48,196
All right!
146
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,783
All step back
I'm 'bout to dance
147
00:06:53,868 --> 00:06:55,828
The greenback boogie
148
00:07:04,003 --> 00:07:05,129
Hey.
149
00:07:05,504 --> 00:07:07,423
I didn't know anybody was moving in here.
It looks great.
150
00:07:07,506 --> 00:07:08,758
Well, as it turns out,
151
00:07:08,841 --> 00:07:10,593
we're getting ourselves
a new partner
152
00:07:10,676 --> 00:07:12,053
and they needed
a new office. So...
153
00:07:12,136 --> 00:07:13,387
New partner?
154
00:07:13,471 --> 00:07:15,723
That's fantastic.
Shows we're back on our feet.
155
00:07:15,806 --> 00:07:17,516
What firm are they from?
This one.
156
00:07:18,184 --> 00:07:19,769
I don't understand.
157
00:07:19,852 --> 00:07:21,270
That's because it hasn't been
announced yet,
158
00:07:21,354 --> 00:07:22,897
but you are looking
at the newest
159
00:07:22,980 --> 00:07:24,774
senior partner
at Pearson Specter Litt.
160
00:07:25,191 --> 00:07:26,400
Wow.
161
00:07:27,151 --> 00:07:29,570
Congratulations, Donna.
You must be thrilled.
162
00:07:29,654 --> 00:07:30,655
I am.
163
00:07:31,656 --> 00:07:32,740
And I know
what you're thinking.
164
00:07:32,823 --> 00:07:34,742
How can a secretary
be made a partner?
165
00:07:34,825 --> 00:07:36,494
But I...
I wasn't thinking that, Donna.
166
00:07:36,827 --> 00:07:38,246
I know how hard you work
167
00:07:38,329 --> 00:07:41,165
and how much you mean to this
firm and everyone in it.
168
00:07:41,832 --> 00:07:44,001
Thanks, Katrina.
You're welcome.
169
00:07:44,335 --> 00:07:46,170
I'll let you
get back to work.
170
00:07:51,425 --> 00:07:53,427
All I'm saying is,
I think you're rushing it.
171
00:07:53,511 --> 00:07:56,013
And I'm saying that when
you overthrow a dictator,
172
00:07:56,097 --> 00:07:58,140
you don't leave
their statue up in the square.
173
00:07:58,224 --> 00:07:59,809
You tear it the hell down.
174
00:07:59,892 --> 00:08:01,936
You don't think
that this sends a message
175
00:08:02,019 --> 00:08:03,521
that you have
something to prove?
176
00:08:04,897 --> 00:08:06,899
Harvey, do you remember
Arthur Reeves?
177
00:08:07,608 --> 00:08:09,402
You mean the guy
who played Superman?
178
00:08:09,485 --> 00:08:10,653
That was George Reeves.
179
00:08:10,736 --> 00:08:12,697
Arthur Reeves
founded this firm.
180
00:08:13,155 --> 00:08:15,700
And when Gordon,
Schmidt and Van Dyke ran him out of town,
181
00:08:15,783 --> 00:08:17,952
they didn't just tear
his name off the wall.
182
00:08:18,035 --> 00:08:19,537
They called
his biggest client
183
00:08:19,620 --> 00:08:22,373
and told them to pack up their
shit and find another firm.
184
00:08:23,374 --> 00:08:24,542
What's your point?
185
00:08:24,625 --> 00:08:27,003
My point is,
they wanted the world to know
186
00:08:27,086 --> 00:08:28,462
there was
a new sheriff in town.
187
00:08:28,546 --> 00:08:31,299
And the message that sends isn't
that you have something to prove,
188
00:08:31,382 --> 00:08:33,009
it's that you're in charge.
189
00:08:35,636 --> 00:08:37,555
And you're staying that way.
190
00:09:00,411 --> 00:09:03,205
I hope you don't mind.
I took the liberty of hanging that.
191
00:09:03,289 --> 00:09:04,332
Let me guess.
192
00:09:04,707 --> 00:09:06,834
It's your last official act
as my secretary.
193
00:09:07,626 --> 00:09:08,711
I told you once before
194
00:09:08,794 --> 00:09:10,379
I wouldn't leave you
high and dry.
195
00:09:11,672 --> 00:09:13,883
Thanks, Donna.
You're welcome, Harvey.
196
00:09:15,259 --> 00:09:18,763
And speaking of not being
your secretary anymore...
197
00:09:21,849 --> 00:09:24,185
This is a press release
announcing your partnership.
198
00:09:24,268 --> 00:09:25,436
It's more than
just a press release.
199
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:27,521
It's a statement
to the world.
200
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,275
I'll take
a look at it later.
201
00:09:33,069 --> 00:09:34,904
Do you mean later,
like, this afternoon
202
00:09:34,987 --> 00:09:37,323
or later, like,
after you go see Dr. Agard?
203
00:09:38,407 --> 00:09:39,575
What?
204
00:09:39,658 --> 00:09:41,285
Harvey,
the last time I stopped being your secretary,
205
00:09:41,369 --> 00:09:42,912
you started
having panic attacks.
206
00:09:42,995 --> 00:09:44,705
And I'm not saying
that's going to happen again.
207
00:09:44,789 --> 00:09:46,040
But you just got
a look on your face,
208
00:09:46,123 --> 00:09:47,917
and I want to make sure
you're okay with all of this.
209
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,752
I'm okay with it, Donna.
210
00:09:49,835 --> 00:09:51,545
I'll get you what you need
to issue that release.
211
00:09:51,629 --> 00:09:55,132
But right now,
I've got to make a statement of my own.
212
00:10:00,221 --> 00:10:01,597
What can I do for you,
Mr. Ross?
213
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:04,100
Well, you can start by writing
a check to Harry Kirst.
214
00:10:04,225 --> 00:10:06,268
You don't waste time, do you?
No, I don't.
215
00:10:06,352 --> 00:10:09,855
So, why don't you cut my
client a check for $300,000,
216
00:10:09,939 --> 00:10:12,691
and I'll withdraw this lawsuit
I haven't filed yet?
217
00:10:12,775 --> 00:10:16,737
Mr. Ross, I'm afraid there's been
a little misunderstanding here.
218
00:10:16,821 --> 00:10:17,822
We're not looking
to settle.
219
00:10:17,905 --> 00:10:19,490
Then why the hell
did you set this meeting?
220
00:10:19,615 --> 00:10:21,784
Because it's policy
to meet with our clients
221
00:10:21,867 --> 00:10:23,619
and try to resolve
their issues.
222
00:10:23,702 --> 00:10:26,163
Okay, well, my client's issue is
you're not honoring his claim.
223
00:10:26,247 --> 00:10:27,331
So, he can't
support his children.
224
00:10:27,415 --> 00:10:30,584
Yes, and I'm very sorry about that,
but my hands are tied.
225
00:10:32,670 --> 00:10:33,712
I get it.
226
00:10:34,338 --> 00:10:36,048
Your policy is
to give people the runaround
227
00:10:36,132 --> 00:10:37,925
so they get demoralized
and drop their case.
228
00:10:38,008 --> 00:10:39,176
No, Mr. Ross.
229
00:10:39,260 --> 00:10:41,053
Our policy is to follow
the letter of our contracts.
230
00:10:41,137 --> 00:10:42,763
And if we let
one person who lied
231
00:10:42,847 --> 00:10:44,390
on their application
get away with it,
232
00:10:44,473 --> 00:10:45,474
we wouldn't have
a business anymore.
233
00:10:45,558 --> 00:10:46,934
All right. Look at me.
234
00:10:48,018 --> 00:10:49,812
I'm not some personal injury lawyer,
all right?
235
00:10:49,895 --> 00:10:51,105
I work at
Pearson Specter Litt.
236
00:10:51,188 --> 00:10:52,773
I'm not going
to get worn down.
237
00:10:52,857 --> 00:10:55,484
So, I suggest you just
cut me a check.
238
00:10:56,110 --> 00:10:59,071
Save yourself the trouble of me
wiping the floor with you in court.
239
00:11:01,198 --> 00:11:02,783
As I said,
my hands are tied.
240
00:11:02,867 --> 00:11:04,743
But it won't be me you'll be
going up against in court,
241
00:11:04,827 --> 00:11:07,455
it will be our outside
counsel, Mr. Ackerman.
242
00:11:07,538 --> 00:11:08,956
And from what I've seen,
243
00:11:09,623 --> 00:11:12,084
nobody wipes the floor
with Mr. Ackerman.
244
00:11:18,215 --> 00:11:20,551
Nice office.
Mine's better.
245
00:11:21,343 --> 00:11:22,595
Isn't that the same line
you used
246
00:11:22,678 --> 00:11:24,472
when you thought your Ferrari
was better than my Cobra?
247
00:11:24,555 --> 00:11:25,806
It was better.
248
00:11:25,890 --> 00:11:27,516
And a good line
never gets old.
249
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,893
Tell that
to your hairline.
250
00:11:28,976 --> 00:11:30,352
Tell that your waistline.
251
00:11:32,229 --> 00:11:34,982
Good to see you, Harvey.
What brings you down?
252
00:11:35,065 --> 00:11:37,735
I'm here to finish a conversation
we started years ago.
253
00:11:38,569 --> 00:11:39,987
Well, I know you're not
coming over here,
254
00:11:40,070 --> 00:11:41,989
so you must be talking
about me working over there.
255
00:11:42,072 --> 00:11:43,032
What if I am?
256
00:11:43,115 --> 00:11:44,742
I'd say which one
of my clients are you after?
257
00:11:44,825 --> 00:11:46,494
Because we both know
you can't have Pfizer.
258
00:11:46,577 --> 00:11:47,620
Yes, I can.
259
00:11:49,121 --> 00:11:50,331
Are you telling
me you're ready
260
00:11:50,414 --> 00:11:52,333
to drop Jessica's
oldest client just to get me?
261
00:11:52,416 --> 00:11:53,751
That's what
I'm telling you.
262
00:11:54,084 --> 00:11:55,294
Uh-huh.
263
00:11:55,377 --> 00:11:56,378
Why now?
264
00:11:56,462 --> 00:11:59,507
Because Jessica's gone,
so now I can.
265
00:12:02,259 --> 00:12:03,677
Then make me name partner.
266
00:12:03,761 --> 00:12:04,803
What?
267
00:12:04,887 --> 00:12:06,972
This isn't about Jessica's
gone so now you can.
268
00:12:07,056 --> 00:12:08,307
This is about Jessica's gone
269
00:12:08,390 --> 00:12:10,518
so now you want to tell the
world that you're not her.
270
00:12:10,601 --> 00:12:12,269
And that's not
about hiring me,
271
00:12:12,353 --> 00:12:13,479
that's about
getting my client.
272
00:12:13,562 --> 00:12:14,980
Alex, this is a win-win.
273
00:12:15,064 --> 00:12:17,066
I don't poach,
you come over, we have fun.
274
00:12:17,149 --> 00:12:18,734
But I'm not going to just give
you the run of the place.
275
00:12:18,817 --> 00:12:19,818
Then I'm not coming,
276
00:12:19,902 --> 00:12:22,655
because my name is going up
on this wall within a year.
277
00:12:22,738 --> 00:12:24,532
And Pfizer's not leaving me.
Alex...
278
00:12:24,615 --> 00:12:26,867
You always say you're
the better poker player.
279
00:12:26,951 --> 00:12:27,993
Well, not today.
280
00:12:28,077 --> 00:12:30,204
Because I'm all in,
and you got nothing.
281
00:12:30,287 --> 00:12:32,623
So, either add my name
to your letterhead
282
00:12:33,499 --> 00:12:34,959
or take your chips
and go home.
283
00:12:37,628 --> 00:12:39,922
Your Honor,
they can dress this up all they want.
284
00:12:40,005 --> 00:12:43,384
But the fact is, the deceased
entered into a contract in bad faith
285
00:12:43,467 --> 00:12:45,219
by claiming
she was no longer a smoker.
286
00:12:45,302 --> 00:12:46,554
The only fact here
is that
287
00:12:46,637 --> 00:12:49,390
they're manufacturing a reason to
weasel out of a legitimate claim.
288
00:12:49,473 --> 00:12:51,350
Are you going to tell the
court that we manufactured
289
00:12:51,433 --> 00:12:53,936
this picture of your client
smoking eight months ago?
290
00:12:54,019 --> 00:12:57,231
I'm well aware of the photo that
you sent a grieving husband.
291
00:12:57,314 --> 00:12:59,108
But an image of a woman
not inhaling a cigarette
292
00:12:59,191 --> 00:13:00,401
doesn't prove anything.
293
00:13:00,484 --> 00:13:01,986
She lied
on her application.
294
00:13:02,069 --> 00:13:04,029
Which had nothing to do
with how she died.
295
00:13:04,113 --> 00:13:06,323
And manner of death isn't at issue here,
the contract is.
296
00:13:06,407 --> 00:13:07,575
He's got a point.
297
00:13:07,658 --> 00:13:09,368
Your Honor,
they're claiming that my client
298
00:13:09,451 --> 00:13:11,829
entered into a policy
in bad faith.
299
00:13:11,912 --> 00:13:12,955
Well, what kind
of faith is it
300
00:13:13,038 --> 00:13:15,749
when a company pores through a
woman's social media history
301
00:13:15,833 --> 00:13:18,794
just to stick it to her grieving
husband and three children?
302
00:13:18,877 --> 00:13:20,588
Better faith than a man that
pretended to be an attorney
303
00:13:20,671 --> 00:13:22,256
for the better part
of three years.
304
00:13:22,631 --> 00:13:24,383
What are you talking about?
305
00:13:24,466 --> 00:13:26,844
Your Honor,
this is Mr. Ross' Harvard diploma.
306
00:13:27,511 --> 00:13:31,515
The only problem is,
Mr. Ross never actually went to Harvard.
307
00:13:31,599 --> 00:13:35,185
The only place he did graduate
from is Danbury Federal Prison,
308
00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:38,105
where he spent time
for impersonating a lawyer.
309
00:13:38,188 --> 00:13:40,441
All right.
That is inadmissible and irrelevant.
310
00:13:40,524 --> 00:13:43,277
You're claiming bad faith.
Your whole life is bad faith.
311
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,945
I think a jury should have
a chance to hear that.
312
00:13:45,029 --> 00:13:46,071
Your Honor, this is...
313
00:13:46,155 --> 00:13:48,407
Your motion to dismiss is denied,
Mr. Ackerman.
314
00:13:48,490 --> 00:13:51,785
But, Mr. Ross,
I am inclined to agree
315
00:13:51,869 --> 00:13:53,746
that your history
is relevant to this case.
316
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:56,707
Which means if he wants
to bring it up at trial,
317
00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:59,168
I'm not stopping him.
318
00:14:03,714 --> 00:14:06,175
So, that's how you're going to play it?
Excuse me?
319
00:14:06,925 --> 00:14:09,470
You're not going to give me your
real settlement offer right now?
320
00:14:09,553 --> 00:14:11,972
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Bullshit.
321
00:14:12,056 --> 00:14:14,308
I knew there was a reason that woman
didn't give me an offer before.
322
00:14:14,391 --> 00:14:16,226
Now I know it's because
you wanted me to see that.
323
00:14:16,310 --> 00:14:17,311
Now that you mention it,
324
00:14:17,394 --> 00:14:20,439
I did take the liberty of whipping
up a little standard boilerplate.
325
00:14:20,522 --> 00:14:22,775
No admission of guilt,
you settle for pennies on the dollar,
326
00:14:22,858 --> 00:14:23,817
and that's take it
or leave it.
327
00:14:23,901 --> 00:14:25,736
Well, then, let me tell you right now.
We're leaving it.
328
00:14:25,819 --> 00:14:27,780
You're required to present
this to your client.
329
00:14:27,863 --> 00:14:30,115
Well, I'm also required
to give them my legal opinion,
330
00:14:30,199 --> 00:14:32,326
which is that you stand to
lose a lot more than that.
331
00:14:32,409 --> 00:14:34,662
Then maybe you missed
what just went on back there.
332
00:14:34,745 --> 00:14:37,289
What went on back there is
the judge ruled in my favor
333
00:14:37,373 --> 00:14:38,666
and you didn't get
your case dismissed.
334
00:14:38,749 --> 00:14:40,376
He also showed his hand.
335
00:14:40,459 --> 00:14:42,294
Now, how do you think
12 jurors are going to rule
336
00:14:42,378 --> 00:14:44,713
when it's plain as day
that the guy hearing the case
337
00:14:44,797 --> 00:14:46,632
doesn't even trust you?
338
00:14:56,767 --> 00:14:58,977
- Good, you're here.
- Of course, we are.
339
00:14:59,436 --> 00:15:00,896
When the managing partner
calls a meeting,
340
00:15:00,979 --> 00:15:02,064
the rest of the partners
show up.
341
00:15:02,147 --> 00:15:03,607
So, what did you
want to talk about?
342
00:15:04,191 --> 00:15:06,652
I want to talk about bringing
on Pfizer as a client.
343
00:15:06,735 --> 00:15:07,861
Harvey, I'm sure
you already know this.
344
00:15:07,945 --> 00:15:09,363
That would mean
dropping Jim Reynolds.
345
00:15:09,446 --> 00:15:10,489
I think that's the point.
346
00:15:10,572 --> 00:15:12,324
And I think
it's a great idea, Harvey.
347
00:15:12,408 --> 00:15:13,534
Pfizer's 10 times
the size of Jim Reynolds
348
00:15:13,617 --> 00:15:14,910
and Jessica has always
been stubborn about him.
349
00:15:14,993 --> 00:15:16,578
Good. Because in order
to do that,
350
00:15:16,662 --> 00:15:18,956
we need to make Alex Williams
a name partner.
351
00:15:19,289 --> 00:15:20,290
What?
352
00:15:20,374 --> 00:15:22,710
Who do you think's bringing Pfizer over here,
in the first place?
353
00:15:22,793 --> 00:15:26,213
So, then,
give him a corner office with a killer view.
354
00:15:26,296 --> 00:15:27,464
Because I'm not going to do
something like that
355
00:15:27,548 --> 00:15:29,049
- for someone I barely know.
- Harvey...
356
00:15:29,133 --> 00:15:31,385
Well, I've known him for 15
years and I'm vouching for him.
357
00:15:31,468 --> 00:15:33,220
I don't care if you came
out of the womb with him.
358
00:15:33,303 --> 00:15:35,931
You don't just slap somebody's
name on the wall to get a client.
359
00:15:36,014 --> 00:15:38,726
I'm not just slapping his name up, Louis.
I'm making a move.
360
00:15:38,809 --> 00:15:39,852
Harvey.
That's enough.
361
00:15:39,935 --> 00:15:41,395
I asked you
last night if you had
362
00:15:41,478 --> 00:15:43,021
any problems with me
calling the shots,
363
00:15:43,105 --> 00:15:46,817
and you said you didn't.
Now, are you onboard with this or not?
364
00:15:48,569 --> 00:15:49,695
Okay, Harvey,
I'm onboard.
365
00:15:57,161 --> 00:15:58,912
Ah, there you are.
I need your help.
366
00:15:58,996 --> 00:16:02,750
And you can have it after I've
enjoyed my ham sandwich in peace.
367
00:16:02,833 --> 00:16:04,460
Nope, sorry.
That ham's going to have to wait.
368
00:16:04,543 --> 00:16:06,754
Harvey is about to make
some stranger name partner.
369
00:16:06,837 --> 00:16:09,798
What? Louis, you must have
misunderstood something.
370
00:16:09,882 --> 00:16:12,968
Gretchen. I heard him.
Clear as a frickin' bell.
371
00:16:13,051 --> 00:16:16,263
He wants one of the guy's clients,
name partnership is the price,
372
00:16:16,346 --> 00:16:17,639
and I think
it's a huge mistake.
373
00:16:17,723 --> 00:16:19,016
Well, did you tell him that?
374
00:16:19,099 --> 00:16:20,684
Yes, of course.
But he couldn't hear me.
375
00:16:20,768 --> 00:16:22,603
And I told him last night that
I would back his decisions.
376
00:16:22,686 --> 00:16:24,521
Which means
you want me to find out
377
00:16:24,605 --> 00:16:26,523
as much dirt as I can
on this sucker
378
00:16:26,607 --> 00:16:28,609
so you can convince Harvey
not to hire him.
379
00:16:28,692 --> 00:16:31,278
Exactly. So, let's move this
little piggy to the market and...
380
00:16:31,361 --> 00:16:32,404
Not going to happen, Louis.
381
00:16:32,488 --> 00:16:33,739
Gretchen, did you not
hear what I just said?
382
00:16:33,822 --> 00:16:34,782
I heard you.
383
00:16:34,865 --> 00:16:36,033
Have you never
heard the saying,
384
00:16:36,116 --> 00:16:37,451
"There's more than
one way to skin a cat"?
385
00:16:37,534 --> 00:16:38,535
You mean stuff a cat.
386
00:16:38,869 --> 00:16:40,996
Why would I mean
stuff a cat?
387
00:16:41,079 --> 00:16:42,289
Because they are
glorious creatures
388
00:16:42,372 --> 00:16:43,874
and only a barbarian
would skin one.
389
00:16:43,957 --> 00:16:46,627
Louis, your brain
is not right.
390
00:16:46,710 --> 00:16:50,130
My point is,
if Harvey wants this man's client,
391
00:16:50,214 --> 00:16:52,466
there has to be
another way to get them.
392
00:16:53,050 --> 00:16:54,676
Holy shit, you're right.
393
00:16:55,886 --> 00:16:57,262
If I can get Pfizer,
394
00:16:57,346 --> 00:16:59,932
Harvey doesn't even have to bring
this clown to the firm at all.
395
00:17:00,516 --> 00:17:01,767
Strap in, Gretchen.
396
00:17:01,850 --> 00:17:03,310
Because we're about
to get elbow deep
397
00:17:03,393 --> 00:17:05,145
into stuffing
the shit out of this cat.
398
00:17:05,229 --> 00:17:06,522
And I'm out.
399
00:17:11,652 --> 00:17:14,822
I don't understand that.
I mean, I get that the offer is horrible.
400
00:17:15,572 --> 00:17:17,241
But if the judge is letting
this thing go to trial,
401
00:17:17,324 --> 00:17:18,659
he must think
I have a case.
402
00:17:18,742 --> 00:17:20,744
You do have a case, Harry.
403
00:17:22,454 --> 00:17:24,706
But the lawyer on the other side
of this thing has made it clear
404
00:17:24,790 --> 00:17:27,835
that he is willing to pull out all
of the stops, no matter how low.
405
00:17:27,918 --> 00:17:30,504
They've already used the photo of Shannon.
What else do they have?
406
00:17:32,756 --> 00:17:33,924
Me.
407
00:17:34,007 --> 00:17:35,092
What are you talking about?
408
00:17:35,342 --> 00:17:37,845
Look, I am a fully licensed
member of the Bar now.
409
00:17:37,928 --> 00:17:39,555
But before I was, I...
410
00:17:41,557 --> 00:17:44,434
I was practicing law without
a license and I got caught.
411
00:17:44,518 --> 00:17:45,519
And you didn't think
I should know that?
412
00:17:45,602 --> 00:17:46,937
I didn't think
that it would be relevant.
413
00:17:47,020 --> 00:17:48,397
It sure as hell
seems relevant.
414
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,940
They are just trying to
prejudice the jury against me.
415
00:17:50,065 --> 00:17:51,650
They're going to be prejudiced against you.
I'd be.
416
00:17:51,733 --> 00:17:53,694
I'm telling you that
I can still win this.
417
00:17:53,777 --> 00:17:54,862
Still win?
418
00:17:54,945 --> 00:17:57,322
They're going to make it seem
like Shannon lied on purpose
419
00:17:57,406 --> 00:18:00,117
and then I went out and
hired a liar to cover it up.
420
00:18:05,205 --> 00:18:07,583
If you want someone else
to handle this,
421
00:18:08,959 --> 00:18:10,961
I completely understand.
422
00:18:11,461 --> 00:18:16,300
The only problem with that is,
I went to 15 firms before I came to you.
423
00:18:17,718 --> 00:18:21,221
And none of them would take my
case because of that photo.
424
00:18:23,015 --> 00:18:25,267
You were my last hope,
Mr. Ross.
425
00:18:25,642 --> 00:18:27,978
And now, you're telling me
we're going to lose.
426
00:18:28,061 --> 00:18:29,521
No, Harry.
427
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,943
I am promising you that I
will not cost you this case.
428
00:18:38,030 --> 00:18:40,073
Good, Donna, you're here.
429
00:18:40,157 --> 00:18:42,284
I'm going to need someone to draw
up a contract for Alex, and...
430
00:18:42,367 --> 00:18:43,785
Harvey, I don't think
we should drop Jim Reynolds.
431
00:18:43,869 --> 00:18:45,621
What?
I understand what you're doing,
432
00:18:45,704 --> 00:18:46,955
but I think that maybe
you're rushing into it.
433
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:49,583
I'm not rushing, Donna,
I'm being decisive.
434
00:18:50,834 --> 00:18:52,753
Then you need to tell Jessica
before you do it.
435
00:18:52,836 --> 00:18:54,129
Tell Jessica?
436
00:18:54,212 --> 00:18:57,591
I'm doing this to show people
that this is my firm now.
437
00:18:57,674 --> 00:19:00,010
Asking Mommy's permission
isn't part of the plan.
438
00:19:00,093 --> 00:19:01,511
Well, is it also
part of the plan
439
00:19:01,595 --> 00:19:03,388
that you signal to the rest
of our long-term clients
440
00:19:03,472 --> 00:19:05,140
that you'll just throw them
over for the next big thing?
441
00:19:05,223 --> 00:19:06,475
Where the hell
is this coming from?
442
00:19:06,558 --> 00:19:07,768
What do you mean,
where is this coming from?
443
00:19:07,851 --> 00:19:10,437
You made me a partner.
I'm saying my piece.
444
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:11,980
That's what
the meeting was for.
445
00:19:12,064 --> 00:19:13,315
Well, maybe
you didn't notice,
446
00:19:13,398 --> 00:19:15,567
but you and Louis
were having a private meeting.
447
00:19:15,651 --> 00:19:17,069
Well, you know what, Donna?
448
00:19:17,152 --> 00:19:18,445
You had the balls to ask
for a seat at the table.
449
00:19:18,528 --> 00:19:20,280
So, the next time
you have something to say,
450
00:19:20,364 --> 00:19:22,908
have the balls to say it
at the goddamn meeting.
451
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,505
Hey.
Hey.
452
00:19:36,588 --> 00:19:38,048
How did it go in court?
453
00:19:39,591 --> 00:19:41,343
Not great.
454
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,681
No. Don't tell me the judge
agreed to dismiss the case.
455
00:19:46,848 --> 00:19:50,143
The lawyer on the other side somehow
got a copy of my fake diploma.
456
00:19:50,227 --> 00:19:51,311
Mike, that's bullshit.
457
00:19:51,395 --> 00:19:53,230
Your history has nothing
to do with this case.
458
00:19:53,313 --> 00:19:56,108
I know that, but he got
the judge on his side.
459
00:19:56,191 --> 00:19:57,943
Now, he's going to try and do
the same thing with the jury.
460
00:19:58,026 --> 00:20:00,153
And my own client
barely trusts me.
461
00:20:00,237 --> 00:20:01,363
Okay.
462
00:20:01,822 --> 00:20:03,073
What are you going to do?
463
00:20:03,156 --> 00:20:06,660
I was wondering if you would
take over the case for me.
464
00:20:08,078 --> 00:20:11,248
If that's what you want,
then I would be honored to.
465
00:20:19,881 --> 00:20:22,217
Alex, I'm glad you called.
466
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:23,510
We're still working out
the paperwork.
467
00:20:23,593 --> 00:20:24,636
If you're still
working on the paperwork,
468
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,763
how come I just found out you're
trying to poach my client?
469
00:20:26,847 --> 00:20:28,765
What?
Don't bullshit me.
470
00:20:28,849 --> 00:20:31,518
Kevin Bauer told me that P.S.L.
called to set an appointment,
471
00:20:31,601 --> 00:20:33,645
and it sure as hell
wasn't to tell my own client
472
00:20:33,729 --> 00:20:35,522
that I'm going to be name
partner at your firm.
473
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,524
God damn it.
474
00:20:37,607 --> 00:20:39,067
You telling me you had
nothing to do with this?
475
00:20:39,151 --> 00:20:40,944
That's exactly
what I'm telling you.
476
00:20:41,028 --> 00:20:43,739
Then get your shit together,
and either make this thing happen or not.
477
00:20:43,822 --> 00:20:45,615
Because I went out on a limb
for you once before.
478
00:20:45,699 --> 00:20:47,951
I'm not about to let the
same thing happen again.
479
00:20:52,706 --> 00:20:54,207
Did you set
a meeting with Pfizer?
480
00:20:54,416 --> 00:20:55,417
Harvey,
you don't understand.
481
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:59,087
What I understand is you were
onboard with bringing Alex over,
482
00:20:59,171 --> 00:21:00,630
and then you tried
to poach his client.
483
00:21:00,714 --> 00:21:01,715
It's not like that.
484
00:21:01,798 --> 00:21:04,384
I knew what you really wanted was Pfizer,
so I tried to make it happen.
485
00:21:04,468 --> 00:21:05,719
No, Louis.
486
00:21:05,802 --> 00:21:08,138
What I really wanted
was to bring over my friend
487
00:21:08,221 --> 00:21:10,348
who I've known
for the last 15 years.
488
00:21:10,432 --> 00:21:12,142
Yeah? Well, what about
what this friend thinks?
489
00:21:12,225 --> 00:21:13,393
We already had
that discussion,
490
00:21:13,477 --> 00:21:14,978
and then you went
behind my back.
491
00:21:15,062 --> 00:21:16,229
Maybe because
it was stupid of you
492
00:21:16,313 --> 00:21:19,232
to offer your friend name
partner in the first place.
493
00:21:19,316 --> 00:21:20,358
Excuse me?
494
00:21:20,442 --> 00:21:23,904
What kind of genius negotiator gives
away the house from the start?
495
00:21:23,987 --> 00:21:25,155
Louis.
No.
496
00:21:25,655 --> 00:21:28,283
You want Pfizer?
You go get Pfizer.
497
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:30,744
But don't you bring in
some Johnny-come-lately
498
00:21:30,827 --> 00:21:32,412
and water down
the name of this firm.
499
00:21:32,496 --> 00:21:34,915
You don't give a shit
about watering down this firm.
500
00:21:34,998 --> 00:21:37,667
You're scared of watering down
your place in it.
501
00:21:37,793 --> 00:21:39,544
I'm not afraid of a third-rate lawyer.
Bullshit.
502
00:21:39,628 --> 00:21:41,421
You're afraid
and you're jealous.
503
00:21:41,505 --> 00:21:42,964
And this entire firm
knows it.
504
00:21:43,048 --> 00:21:45,425
No, there's no need to be jealous,
because he's not coming here.
505
00:21:45,509 --> 00:21:46,927
Yes, he is.
506
00:21:47,010 --> 00:21:49,221
Well, then, why don't you try
reading the by-laws?
507
00:21:49,304 --> 00:21:51,681
Because in order to make
someone name partner,
508
00:21:51,765 --> 00:21:54,309
you need my vote
or Jessica's vote.
509
00:21:54,392 --> 00:21:56,853
And if you think she is going
to ditch her oldest client
510
00:21:56,937 --> 00:21:58,438
to bring in someone
she doesn't even know,
511
00:21:58,522 --> 00:22:00,190
you're out of
your goddamn mind.
512
00:22:05,195 --> 00:22:06,571
Harvey, do you have a minute?
513
00:22:06,655 --> 00:22:07,948
That's about all I have.
514
00:22:08,156 --> 00:22:09,783
Okay. I was wondering
515
00:22:09,866 --> 00:22:13,078
if it would be okay if I took
over Mike's pro bono case.
516
00:22:14,579 --> 00:22:15,622
What?
517
00:22:16,039 --> 00:22:18,458
Something came up.
He asked me if I could do it.
518
00:22:18,542 --> 00:22:20,794
I wanted to get
your permission first.
519
00:22:20,877 --> 00:22:21,878
No.
520
00:22:21,962 --> 00:22:23,380
Why not?
521
00:22:24,047 --> 00:22:25,757
Because I made a deal
with Mike, not you.
522
00:22:25,841 --> 00:22:28,301
Now, you want to tell me
what's really going on here?
523
00:22:28,385 --> 00:22:31,888
Because Mike's not giving away his
first case unless he's in a coma.
524
00:22:32,889 --> 00:22:35,058
The lawyer on the other side
outed Mike as a fraud.
525
00:22:35,559 --> 00:22:37,519
Meaning?
He brought out Mike's Harvard diploma
526
00:22:37,602 --> 00:22:38,979
and he prejudiced
the judge.
527
00:22:39,062 --> 00:22:40,730
So,
Mike thinks if he hands the case over to you,
528
00:22:40,814 --> 00:22:42,482
he takes that weapon out of their hands.
Yes.
529
00:22:42,566 --> 00:22:43,900
Well, now,
it's a definite no.
530
00:22:44,401 --> 00:22:45,777
Why does that make it
a definite no?
531
00:22:45,861 --> 00:22:47,112
Because I said so.
532
00:22:47,195 --> 00:22:48,405
Harvey, can you
at least talk to Mike?
533
00:22:48,488 --> 00:22:50,073
No, I can't.
Why not?
534
00:22:50,157 --> 00:22:52,159
Because I've got
a plane to catch.
535
00:22:55,495 --> 00:22:57,289
- You wanted to talk to me?
- What gave it away?
536
00:22:57,372 --> 00:22:59,040
The nine texts
or the 16 messages?
537
00:22:59,124 --> 00:23:00,667
I was on a plane.
538
00:23:00,750 --> 00:23:01,960
Yeah, well,
I'm in your old office
539
00:23:02,043 --> 00:23:03,170
wondering why
you even gave it to me
540
00:23:03,253 --> 00:23:05,297
if you're not going to let me
make simple personnel decisions.
541
00:23:05,380 --> 00:23:07,174
Mike. If you let
this asshole bully you,
542
00:23:07,257 --> 00:23:09,092
you're going to be backing down
for the rest of your life.
543
00:23:09,176 --> 00:23:10,760
I'm not backing down.
544
00:23:10,844 --> 00:23:11,845
I am buying time
545
00:23:11,928 --> 00:23:14,639
so that I can stop this bullshit
from ever happening again.
546
00:23:14,723 --> 00:23:17,267
You don't need time.
I have a way.
547
00:23:17,350 --> 00:23:19,519
Stop apologizing
and start intimidating.
548
00:23:19,603 --> 00:23:20,979
Well, that's a hell
of a slogan, Harvey.
549
00:23:21,062 --> 00:23:22,689
But what does it
actually mean?
550
00:23:22,772 --> 00:23:24,858
It means you go out,
you find a reporter,
551
00:23:24,941 --> 00:23:26,443
and you take control
of the narrative.
552
00:23:26,526 --> 00:23:29,946
Instead of a lying fraud,
you're a hero fighting for redemption.
553
00:23:30,030 --> 00:23:32,282
I don't have time
to change my image.
554
00:23:32,741 --> 00:23:35,785
Look, if I lose this case,
the only article that's going to get written
555
00:23:35,869 --> 00:23:37,078
is that I never
should have been
556
00:23:37,162 --> 00:23:38,330
able to practice law
in the first place.
557
00:23:38,413 --> 00:23:40,248
Yeah, well,
if you can't figure out
558
00:23:40,332 --> 00:23:41,917
a way to win
without Rachel's help,
559
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,002
then maybe I shouldn't have brought
you back in the first place.
560
00:23:44,085 --> 00:23:45,962
Because I've had about enough
561
00:23:46,046 --> 00:23:48,089
of having
every employee I have
562
00:23:48,173 --> 00:23:50,467
question every decision
I make.
563
00:23:56,723 --> 00:23:58,892
I thought we were going
to meet at the restaurant.
564
00:23:58,975 --> 00:24:00,227
I got down here early.
565
00:24:01,394 --> 00:24:03,480
Manhattan doesn't have
views like this.
566
00:24:04,231 --> 00:24:06,775
Thanks for making the time
to see me, Jessica.
567
00:24:07,275 --> 00:24:09,653
I will always make time
to see you, Harvey.
568
00:24:10,612 --> 00:24:13,281
Especially after you've flown all the
way out here to put the screws to me.
569
00:24:13,365 --> 00:24:14,366
Louis called you, didn't he?
570
00:24:14,449 --> 00:24:16,451
About an hour after
your plane took off.
571
00:24:16,534 --> 00:24:18,328
Then you've already heard
his side of the story.
572
00:24:18,411 --> 00:24:19,871
And I don't need
to hear yours.
573
00:24:20,205 --> 00:24:21,414
Jessica...
Harvey.
574
00:24:21,498 --> 00:24:23,750
I understand wanting
to make a statement.
575
00:24:23,833 --> 00:24:25,335
But you rush into this,
576
00:24:25,418 --> 00:24:27,754
the only statement you're making
is that you're not ready.
577
00:24:27,837 --> 00:24:29,547
I can't believe this.
578
00:24:29,631 --> 00:24:31,591
My first act
as managing partner,
579
00:24:31,675 --> 00:24:33,593
and you're cutting
my legs out from under me.
580
00:24:33,677 --> 00:24:36,179
I'm not cutting anything out.
I'm trying to help you.
581
00:24:36,263 --> 00:24:39,057
You can't give out name partner
like it's Halloween candy.
582
00:24:39,140 --> 00:24:41,685
That doesn't sound like help.
It sounds like I'm a child who...
583
00:24:41,768 --> 00:24:43,979
Harvey. You do this,
584
00:24:44,062 --> 00:24:45,105
what's going to happen
the next time
585
00:24:45,188 --> 00:24:46,398
you want to bring
someone over?
586
00:24:46,481 --> 00:24:48,024
I'll tell you
what happens.
587
00:24:48,108 --> 00:24:51,069
You're going to get rolled because
you haven't thought this through.
588
00:24:51,778 --> 00:24:52,779
You know what I think?
589
00:24:52,862 --> 00:24:55,699
I think this has nothing
to do with my decision.
590
00:24:55,782 --> 00:24:57,784
You're pissed I'm dumping
your client for a better one.
591
00:24:57,867 --> 00:24:59,452
No, Harvey.
592
00:24:59,536 --> 00:25:01,121
That's something
you'd be pissed about
593
00:25:01,204 --> 00:25:03,540
because you've never been able
to look at the big picture.
594
00:25:03,623 --> 00:25:05,834
Well, how's this for big picture?
I think you want it both ways.
595
00:25:06,293 --> 00:25:07,377
And what the hell
is that supposed to mean?
596
00:25:07,460 --> 00:25:10,505
It means you want to live here
and keep your name on my wall
597
00:25:10,588 --> 00:25:13,300
because you're not ready
to let go of my firm.
598
00:25:13,383 --> 00:25:15,218
Well, if that's how
you really feel,
599
00:25:15,302 --> 00:25:18,179
then take my name
off your goddamn wall.
600
00:25:18,263 --> 00:25:21,516
And then, you can do
whatever the hell you want.
601
00:25:39,576 --> 00:25:40,577
Hey.
602
00:25:40,660 --> 00:25:42,996
I hope you don't think
I forgot about our dinner.
603
00:25:43,079 --> 00:25:46,291
I don't. But I'm afraid
I have to reschedule.
604
00:25:46,583 --> 00:25:48,835
Sure. Any time
is good for me.
605
00:25:49,085 --> 00:25:50,462
Thanks for being
understanding.
606
00:25:51,421 --> 00:25:52,464
And for the record,
607
00:25:52,547 --> 00:25:55,759
I was really looking forward to
getting to know each other better.
608
00:25:56,134 --> 00:25:57,302
So was I.
609
00:25:58,845 --> 00:26:01,348
But the truth is,
I guess I'm glad we're rescheduling.
610
00:26:01,431 --> 00:26:04,517
I didn't want to end up focusing on
myself like I did the last time.
611
00:26:05,643 --> 00:26:06,853
Why, is something going on?
612
00:26:06,936 --> 00:26:07,937
It's not a big deal.
613
00:26:08,563 --> 00:26:10,315
Harvey, you can
talk to me about it.
614
00:26:10,398 --> 00:26:11,399
But you said before...
615
00:26:11,483 --> 00:26:13,276
I know what I said before.
616
00:26:13,651 --> 00:26:14,694
But this is different.
617
00:26:14,778 --> 00:26:15,862
How?
618
00:26:15,945 --> 00:26:19,115
Because you heard me
and you respected my wishes.
619
00:26:19,199 --> 00:26:20,992
Which means instead of me listening
to you as your therapist,
620
00:26:21,076 --> 00:26:23,286
you know I'll be
listening to you as your...
621
00:26:24,204 --> 00:26:26,456
Not therapist.
Yes.
622
00:26:26,581 --> 00:26:28,666
Look at that.
623
00:26:29,125 --> 00:26:31,544
Even when we cancel,
I feel like I'm getting to know you better.
624
00:26:31,628 --> 00:26:33,046
Me, too.
625
00:26:35,256 --> 00:26:37,217
So, are you going
to tell me what's going on?
626
00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:38,510
You know what?
627
00:26:39,969 --> 00:26:41,805
Now that
I just talked to you,
628
00:26:42,597 --> 00:26:44,724
I feel like I can
work it through myself.
629
00:26:44,808 --> 00:26:45,975
Good.
630
00:26:47,644 --> 00:26:49,020
Good night, Harvey.
631
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,108
- Hey.
- Hey.
632
00:26:53,191 --> 00:26:55,151
You busy?
You know I am,
633
00:26:55,235 --> 00:26:57,779
which means you wouldn't be
here if it wasn't important.
634
00:26:57,862 --> 00:27:00,198
You're right.
I talked to Harvey.
635
00:27:00,615 --> 00:27:02,075
He changed his mind?
636
00:27:02,158 --> 00:27:04,202
No. No.
637
00:27:04,869 --> 00:27:07,539
He told me if I run from this,
I'll be running forever.
638
00:27:07,956 --> 00:27:10,708
Look, I hate to say it,
but he might have a point.
639
00:27:10,792 --> 00:27:12,168
He does.
640
00:27:12,252 --> 00:27:13,711
So, then,
why are you here?
641
00:27:13,795 --> 00:27:14,879
Because he got me thinking.
642
00:27:14,963 --> 00:27:16,256
The woman I first met
over there
643
00:27:16,339 --> 00:27:18,591
said they couldn't let
people like Harry and his wife
644
00:27:18,675 --> 00:27:20,593
get away with lying
on their application
645
00:27:20,677 --> 00:27:22,095
because they wouldn't
have a business anymore.
646
00:27:22,178 --> 00:27:24,264
Right. But they didn't
lie on their application.
647
00:27:24,347 --> 00:27:25,807
No, they didn't.
648
00:27:25,890 --> 00:27:27,600
But a company that
thinks like that...
649
00:27:27,684 --> 00:27:31,896
Might have a policy of trying
to not pay their claims at all.
650
00:27:31,980 --> 00:27:33,189
Exactly.
651
00:27:33,815 --> 00:27:34,858
So, if we can prove
652
00:27:34,941 --> 00:27:36,776
that that's the company's
real policy, we got them.
653
00:27:36,860 --> 00:27:38,778
Right. Mike,
we can get all the subpoenas in the world,
654
00:27:38,862 --> 00:27:41,573
but they're never going to hand
over a smoking gun like that.
655
00:27:41,656 --> 00:27:42,699
No, they won't.
656
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,827
But I think you know someone
who can get it for us
657
00:27:45,910 --> 00:27:48,204
without issuing
any subpoena at all.
658
00:27:53,501 --> 00:27:55,044
Ms. Cromwell.
659
00:27:55,128 --> 00:27:56,463
Remember me?
660
00:27:56,546 --> 00:27:58,339
Yes, unfortunately.
661
00:27:58,590 --> 00:27:59,716
If you'll excuse me.
662
00:27:59,799 --> 00:28:01,468
We have a job
we'd like to offer you.
663
00:28:02,552 --> 00:28:03,803
Not interested.
664
00:28:03,887 --> 00:28:05,763
You haven't even
heard what it is.
665
00:28:05,847 --> 00:28:07,348
Well, I don't need
to know what it is.
666
00:28:07,432 --> 00:28:09,684
I don't do business
with people I don't trust.
667
00:28:09,851 --> 00:28:12,187
You're a corporate spy.
Not anymore.
668
00:28:12,270 --> 00:28:13,646
Because the last mystery man
she brought me
669
00:28:13,730 --> 00:28:16,107
said word wouldn't get out
about our little arrangement.
670
00:28:16,191 --> 00:28:17,358
Well, it did.
671
00:28:17,442 --> 00:28:19,986
So, now, I'm trying to make it
as a legitimate headhunter,
672
00:28:20,069 --> 00:28:22,530
which pays about 10%
of what I made before.
673
00:28:23,198 --> 00:28:24,199
So, if you'll excuse me,
674
00:28:24,282 --> 00:28:26,493
I'm meeting with an actual
client in a few minutes.
675
00:28:26,576 --> 00:28:27,619
Ms. Cromwell, please.
676
00:28:27,702 --> 00:28:29,829
A mother of three
was killed in a car accident.
677
00:28:29,913 --> 00:28:31,706
Now, she was 39 years old.
678
00:28:31,789 --> 00:28:34,000
Now, her husband
can't support his children
679
00:28:34,083 --> 00:28:37,003
because Acumen Insurance is trying
to scam him out of their claim.
680
00:28:37,086 --> 00:28:38,838
What am I supposed
to do about that?
681
00:28:38,922 --> 00:28:40,256
This can't be the first time
they've done this.
682
00:28:40,340 --> 00:28:43,301
And we're betting that there isn't
a major corporation in this city
683
00:28:43,384 --> 00:28:44,552
that you don't have
access to.
684
00:28:44,844 --> 00:28:46,221
Please.
685
00:28:46,804 --> 00:28:48,264
You can help these people.
686
00:28:48,348 --> 00:28:50,183
I don't give a shit
about helping people.
687
00:28:50,266 --> 00:28:52,060
I give a shit
about helping me.
688
00:28:53,561 --> 00:28:55,563
Which is why
I want $50,000.
689
00:28:55,647 --> 00:28:58,358
What?
I just told you, you cost me millions.
690
00:28:58,441 --> 00:29:00,360
So, if you want my help...
Okay. Never mind.
691
00:29:00,485 --> 00:29:02,028
Mike, I knew this was a bad idea.
We'll pay it.
692
00:29:02,111 --> 00:29:03,071
Mike.
693
00:29:03,154 --> 00:29:05,740
Rachel, if she can get us something
we can use, it's worth it.
694
00:29:05,823 --> 00:29:07,742
It will come out
of the settlement offer.
695
00:29:07,825 --> 00:29:09,869
Uh-uh.
I want it up front.
696
00:29:09,953 --> 00:29:11,579
And how do we know
that you won't take the money
697
00:29:11,663 --> 00:29:13,498
and say that
you couldn't find anything?
698
00:29:13,581 --> 00:29:14,624
You don't.
699
00:29:14,749 --> 00:29:16,292
But given the fact
that you're still here,
700
00:29:16,376 --> 00:29:18,628
it doesn't look like
you have much of a choice.
701
00:29:20,838 --> 00:29:22,549
So. How are you, Louis?
702
00:29:23,466 --> 00:29:25,218
Want to know how I'm doing?
I'll tell you how I'm doing.
703
00:29:25,301 --> 00:29:27,720
I tried focusing on my professional
life instead of my personal one,
704
00:29:27,804 --> 00:29:30,181
and it's been
a goddamn disaster.
705
00:29:30,265 --> 00:29:32,517
I take it thoughts of Tara have
been getting in the way of work.
706
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,478
What? No. I'm over her.
She's yesterday's news.
707
00:29:35,562 --> 00:29:36,980
Your words
make me think otherwise.
708
00:29:37,063 --> 00:29:38,690
Well, how about
you listen to these words?
709
00:29:38,773 --> 00:29:40,817
Harvey's making his friend
name partner,
710
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:43,236
he's accused me of being jealous,
and I don't know what to do.
711
00:29:43,319 --> 00:29:44,404
Are you jealous?
712
00:29:44,487 --> 00:29:46,864
Of course,
I'm goddamn jealous!
713
00:29:47,490 --> 00:29:50,076
Louis, it's natural
for you to feel that way.
714
00:29:50,660 --> 00:29:52,453
You've worked hard
to get where you are
715
00:29:52,537 --> 00:29:55,164
and a new person threatens
your position in the firm.
716
00:29:55,248 --> 00:29:56,499
That's not...
717
00:29:57,041 --> 00:29:58,251
That's not it.
718
00:30:00,587 --> 00:30:03,047
The one silver lining
of Jessica leaving
719
00:30:03,965 --> 00:30:06,175
was that I thought
that Harvey would
720
00:30:06,259 --> 00:30:09,262
finally turn to me
not only as his partner,
721
00:30:09,345 --> 00:30:11,264
but as his friend.
722
00:30:11,973 --> 00:30:13,266
That's not happening now
723
00:30:13,349 --> 00:30:15,351
because I'm being replaced.
724
00:30:15,435 --> 00:30:17,604
And you're scared
of losing your friend.
725
00:30:19,814 --> 00:30:21,107
What do I do?
726
00:30:22,859 --> 00:30:25,111
I can't tell you that, Louis.
727
00:30:25,194 --> 00:30:30,241
But I can tell you it was your
behavior that drove Tara away.
728
00:30:30,325 --> 00:30:33,786
And if you keep letting your
emotions dictate your behavior,
729
00:30:33,870 --> 00:30:36,331
you won't need to worry
about being replaced.
730
00:30:37,415 --> 00:30:40,918
You'll drive Harvey away
all by yourself.
731
00:30:49,510 --> 00:30:51,429
I'm not sure I've ever
seen you here this late.
732
00:30:52,013 --> 00:30:53,890
New office, new hours.
733
00:30:56,267 --> 00:30:57,602
I guess so.
734
00:30:59,228 --> 00:31:01,147
Katrina, whatever's
on your mind,
735
00:31:01,230 --> 00:31:03,399
I recommend you just say it.
736
00:31:04,317 --> 00:31:07,654
As you know, I am on track
to be a senior partner here.
737
00:31:07,737 --> 00:31:09,739
In fact, it's one of the main
reasons I agreed to come back.
738
00:31:09,822 --> 00:31:10,823
I know.
739
00:31:11,741 --> 00:31:13,701
I'm not saying Donna
doesn't deserve a promotion.
740
00:31:13,785 --> 00:31:16,663
I know what she does
as much as anyone.
741
00:31:17,747 --> 00:31:20,708
I'm just saying making
partner means something.
742
00:31:20,792 --> 00:31:25,797
And I'm concerned that being one
here won't mean what it used to.
743
00:31:28,758 --> 00:31:30,593
What would you
have me do?
744
00:31:31,219 --> 00:31:32,428
I don't know.
745
00:31:32,512 --> 00:31:34,639
I just thought
if I was thinking it,
746
00:31:34,722 --> 00:31:36,683
it occurred to me
that others might be, too.
747
00:31:36,766 --> 00:31:39,435
And I thought
you should know that.
748
00:31:40,895 --> 00:31:45,316
Katrina, being a partner here will
mean as much as it always has.
749
00:31:46,943 --> 00:31:48,611
I'll make sure of it.
750
00:32:07,964 --> 00:32:09,090
I hope you came here
to tell me
751
00:32:09,173 --> 00:32:10,216
you got everything
straightened out.
752
00:32:10,299 --> 00:32:13,302
I came here to tell you
that the deal's off the table.
753
00:32:13,845 --> 00:32:14,929
What?
754
00:32:15,471 --> 00:32:16,931
Name partner
means something,
755
00:32:17,014 --> 00:32:20,059
and I can't just give it away
to make a statement.
756
00:32:20,143 --> 00:32:21,853
I never should have offered
it to you in the first place.
757
00:32:21,936 --> 00:32:23,479
God damn it, Harvey.
758
00:32:23,563 --> 00:32:25,106
This is the second time
you've done this.
759
00:32:25,189 --> 00:32:28,693
And I'm sorry, Alex,
but this is a take it or leave it offer.
760
00:32:30,528 --> 00:32:32,447
You can let me know
in the morning.
761
00:32:36,159 --> 00:32:37,660
I'll take it.
762
00:32:41,664 --> 00:32:44,292
I wasn't really going to make
name partner in a year.
763
00:32:45,626 --> 00:32:46,919
Maybe not ever.
764
00:32:48,171 --> 00:32:49,422
I know.
765
00:32:50,381 --> 00:32:51,591
How?
766
00:32:51,924 --> 00:32:53,843
Because if they were really
going to do it in a year,
767
00:32:54,093 --> 00:32:55,595
you would have leveraged them
to move it up
768
00:32:55,678 --> 00:32:57,305
the second I left
your office.
769
00:32:57,346 --> 00:32:59,766
So, why didn't you call me on that before?
I don't know.
770
00:32:59,849 --> 00:33:02,727
Maybe it's because
I felt like I owe you,
771
00:33:02,810 --> 00:33:05,480
or maybe because I wanted to prove
to the world that I'm not Jessica.
772
00:33:06,397 --> 00:33:09,066
Or maybe it's because
I wanted to work together.
773
00:33:10,610 --> 00:33:12,403
I'll see you Monday, Harvey.
774
00:33:12,528 --> 00:33:14,739
See you Monday.
775
00:33:19,535 --> 00:33:20,912
I'll get that.
776
00:33:20,995 --> 00:33:23,289
Keep your money, Mr. Ross.
You're going to need it.
777
00:33:23,372 --> 00:33:24,582
I think after you see this,
778
00:33:24,665 --> 00:33:27,126
you're going to want to save
every nickel you have.
779
00:33:28,878 --> 00:33:30,296
Thanks.
780
00:33:32,757 --> 00:33:35,426
Now, correct me if I'm wrong,
but I believe that's a memo
781
00:33:35,510 --> 00:33:38,596
between Acumen's senior
management and their sales force
782
00:33:38,679 --> 00:33:40,807
outlining their policy
783
00:33:40,890 --> 00:33:43,017
of doing whatever it takes
to avoid paying claims.
784
00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:45,228
Wow. This thing can be interpreted
a dozen different ways.
785
00:33:45,311 --> 00:33:46,604
It doesn't prove a thing.
786
00:33:46,687 --> 00:33:48,981
It proves that we're not just
talking about my client anymore.
787
00:33:49,065 --> 00:33:50,525
You're looking
at a class action.
788
00:33:50,608 --> 00:33:53,528
And if there's one thing a jury
hates more than a fake lawyer,
789
00:33:53,611 --> 00:33:56,572
it's an insurance company that
rips off widowers and children.
790
00:33:58,324 --> 00:33:59,325
What do you want?
791
00:33:59,408 --> 00:34:01,619
Fifty million.
With an admission of guilt.
792
00:34:01,702 --> 00:34:03,746
No way. They won't go
for admission.
793
00:34:03,830 --> 00:34:06,541
Okay. Then, here's what
you're going to do instead.
794
00:34:07,917 --> 00:34:09,377
A reporter's
going to call you.
795
00:34:09,627 --> 00:34:12,129
And when he does,
you're going to tell him the story of
796
00:34:12,213 --> 00:34:14,006
how you thought you were
going to wipe the floor
797
00:34:14,090 --> 00:34:15,383
with this
fraudulent attorney,
798
00:34:15,466 --> 00:34:16,759
but instead,
you ended up praying
799
00:34:16,843 --> 00:34:18,970
that you never go up
against him again.
800
00:34:20,346 --> 00:34:22,849
You knew they wouldn't go for admission.
You set me up.
801
00:34:22,932 --> 00:34:24,934
Well, now that
you mention it, I did.
802
00:34:27,270 --> 00:34:28,813
And that's take it
or leave it.
803
00:34:28,896 --> 00:34:31,524
Then, I guess I'll take it
and leave out the part
804
00:34:31,607 --> 00:34:33,276
where you traded
admission of guilt
805
00:34:33,359 --> 00:34:34,861
in exchange
for self-promotion.
806
00:34:34,944 --> 00:34:36,612
Don't you dare
say that to me.
807
00:34:38,281 --> 00:34:39,740
I'm not doing this for myself.
808
00:34:39,824 --> 00:34:42,702
I'm doing it so that
pieces of shit like you
809
00:34:42,785 --> 00:34:45,830
never try to use my history
against my clients again.
810
00:34:53,421 --> 00:34:55,506
Louis,
before you say anything...
811
00:34:55,590 --> 00:34:58,301
Harvey, before you say anything,
I just want to say I'm sorry.
812
00:34:59,135 --> 00:35:00,428
You were right.
813
00:35:01,220 --> 00:35:03,097
I was jealous of Alex
coming over here.
814
00:35:03,180 --> 00:35:05,808
But not because I'm afraid
of another lawyer.
815
00:35:05,892 --> 00:35:07,059
I don't understand.
816
00:35:07,143 --> 00:35:08,728
See, Harvey, I know you
like to make fun of me.
817
00:35:08,811 --> 00:35:13,190
And I know I might not mean as
much to you as you mean to me,
818
00:35:13,274 --> 00:35:14,942
but you're my friend.
819
00:35:15,026 --> 00:35:18,821
And because I don't have many,
that friendship is important to me.
820
00:35:19,155 --> 00:35:20,615
You don't have to worry
about that, Louis.
821
00:35:20,698 --> 00:35:24,577
But I don't want my behavior
to drive a wedge between us.
822
00:35:24,660 --> 00:35:28,497
Which means I accept Alex
as name partner.
823
00:35:29,415 --> 00:35:30,583
About that, Louis...
824
00:35:30,666 --> 00:35:31,834
I mean, it's just
going to have to be like
825
00:35:31,918 --> 00:35:33,669
when LeBron James
joined the Miami Heat.
826
00:35:34,128 --> 00:35:36,881
When he and D-Wade
worked it out with Chris Bosh.
827
00:35:36,964 --> 00:35:38,841
I thought you didn't know
anything about sports.
828
00:35:39,383 --> 00:35:41,719
I stayed up all night trying to
come up with the right analogy.
829
00:35:43,179 --> 00:35:44,513
And if I'm not mistaken,
they went on to win
830
00:35:44,597 --> 00:35:46,474
back-to-back Super Bowls.
831
00:35:47,725 --> 00:35:48,851
That they did.
832
00:35:50,019 --> 00:35:51,187
Louis, for what it's worth,
833
00:35:51,270 --> 00:35:53,272
Alex is still coming,
but not as name partner.
834
00:35:53,356 --> 00:35:54,857
Really?
Yeah.
835
00:35:54,941 --> 00:35:56,025
You were right.
836
00:35:57,109 --> 00:35:59,695
We can't water down
the firm like that.
837
00:36:08,579 --> 00:36:10,498
You've never knocked before.
838
00:36:10,873 --> 00:36:12,917
You've never had
a door before.
839
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,294
I know. And it's a good thing
I do because...
840
00:36:15,378 --> 00:36:16,629
You can't be
a partner, Donna.
841
00:36:16,712 --> 00:36:17,797
What?
842
00:36:19,465 --> 00:36:20,633
You can't do that.
843
00:36:20,716 --> 00:36:22,134
I have to.
I made a mistake.
844
00:36:22,218 --> 00:36:23,260
Bullshit. I...
845
00:36:24,053 --> 00:36:25,805
I paid you $500,000.
846
00:36:25,888 --> 00:36:28,349
You haven't signed
the partnership agreement yet.
847
00:36:28,432 --> 00:36:29,976
So, I can refund
your money and...
848
00:36:30,059 --> 00:36:32,395
I don't want a refund.
I want what we agreed to.
849
00:36:32,478 --> 00:36:33,980
I can't do that.
850
00:36:34,063 --> 00:36:35,356
You are not a lawyer.
851
00:36:36,148 --> 00:36:37,942
And being partner
at a law firm,
852
00:36:38,275 --> 00:36:42,154
it means something,
inside the firm and out.
853
00:36:42,238 --> 00:36:44,532
Which is why I wrote up
a new release for you.
854
00:36:49,620 --> 00:36:51,330
This says
director of personnel.
855
00:36:51,414 --> 00:36:53,624
Everybody knows you're great with people,
so it will play out there.
856
00:36:53,708 --> 00:36:55,001
But between you and me...
857
00:36:55,084 --> 00:36:56,627
No, Harvey,
I didn't ask for partner
858
00:36:56,711 --> 00:36:59,505
just so I can keep being a
superwoman behind closed doors,
859
00:36:59,588 --> 00:37:03,009
but to the rest of the world,
be a glorified office manager.
860
00:37:03,092 --> 00:37:05,594
Partner is off
the table, Donna.
861
00:37:06,762 --> 00:37:08,806
Then keep my buy-in
and make me COO.
862
00:37:09,098 --> 00:37:11,851
I can't do that.
That's the same as a partner. No, it isn't.
863
00:37:11,934 --> 00:37:15,146
Skadden and Zane and
Bratton Gould all have COOs
864
00:37:15,229 --> 00:37:16,564
and none of them
are lawyers.
865
00:37:17,106 --> 00:37:18,149
How do you know that?
866
00:37:18,441 --> 00:37:21,110
Because I never thought you'd make
me partner in the first place.
867
00:37:25,072 --> 00:37:26,073
Okay, it's a deal.
868
00:37:26,157 --> 00:37:27,408
And I keep my vote.
869
00:37:28,075 --> 00:37:29,035
Donna...
870
00:37:29,118 --> 00:37:32,621
Within these walls, I have a seat
at the table, take it or leave it.
871
00:37:34,373 --> 00:37:35,416
I'll take it.
872
00:37:41,922 --> 00:37:43,924
Thanks, Harvey.
873
00:37:44,133 --> 00:37:46,427
You're going to make
a hell of a COO.
874
00:37:54,769 --> 00:37:56,771
And? How did it go?
875
00:37:57,688 --> 00:37:59,065
Out of the park.
876
00:38:00,066 --> 00:38:01,734
Got everything we wanted.
877
00:38:03,235 --> 00:38:05,988
What do you say we go out
and celebrate tonight?
878
00:38:06,989 --> 00:38:10,743
Well, we're celebrating,
but we're not going out.
879
00:38:10,826 --> 00:38:11,994
What do you mean?
880
00:38:13,454 --> 00:38:16,082
A reporter from the Times is
going to be here in five minutes.
881
00:38:16,165 --> 00:38:17,208
Okay.
882
00:38:17,291 --> 00:38:19,627
We are doing an interview.
883
00:38:20,377 --> 00:38:23,297
The redemption
of a fraudulent lawyer.
884
00:38:27,009 --> 00:38:28,761
Well, that is
the best news I've heard
885
00:38:28,844 --> 00:38:30,471
since finding out
you got into the Bar.
886
00:38:30,554 --> 00:38:31,680
Thank you.
887
00:38:33,182 --> 00:38:35,142
But I think you should do it
without me.
888
00:38:35,226 --> 00:38:36,393
Rachel, I...
889
00:38:36,852 --> 00:38:38,771
I couldn't have done
any of this without you.
890
00:38:38,854 --> 00:38:39,855
And that may be true.
891
00:38:39,939 --> 00:38:43,317
But this is your story and you
should be the one to tell it.
892
00:38:50,908 --> 00:38:52,368
Go.
893
00:38:53,035 --> 00:38:54,495
I'll see you at home.
894
00:39:13,764 --> 00:39:15,474
Mike.
Yeah.
895
00:39:15,558 --> 00:39:16,725
David Gruen.
Good to meet you.
896
00:39:17,518 --> 00:39:21,021
Where do you want to do this?
I was thinking maybe your new office.
897
00:39:21,105 --> 00:39:23,607
Uh, yeah.
We could end up there.
898
00:39:23,691 --> 00:39:25,734
But I was thinking maybe we'd
start out where I started out.
899
00:39:25,818 --> 00:39:27,194
Where's that?
900
00:39:27,278 --> 00:39:28,737
In the bullpen.
901
00:39:44,253 --> 00:39:45,462
What is it now, Harvey?
902
00:39:45,546 --> 00:39:47,923
You want to put the janitor
in charge of bankruptcy?
903
00:39:48,007 --> 00:39:52,094
Or the guard downstairs
could be head of litigation.
904
00:39:52,178 --> 00:39:53,179
You finished?
905
00:39:53,262 --> 00:39:54,847
That depends on
what you say next.
906
00:39:54,930 --> 00:39:56,724
I'm sorry I said
those things about you.
907
00:39:56,807 --> 00:39:58,642
And I want you to know
I didn't mean any of them.
908
00:40:00,436 --> 00:40:02,021
I'm sorry, too, Harvey.
909
00:40:02,104 --> 00:40:04,106
Jessica, you don't
need to apologize for...
910
00:40:04,190 --> 00:40:05,858
Yes, I do.
911
00:40:06,567 --> 00:40:09,361
You were just
tearing the statue down.
912
00:40:09,945 --> 00:40:12,531
Just like you saw me do
all those years ago.
913
00:40:12,615 --> 00:40:14,158
And I didn't like it.
914
00:40:15,117 --> 00:40:16,702
Because the statue was me.
915
00:40:17,578 --> 00:40:21,665
Well, if it's the same to you,
I'd like the statue to stay.
916
00:40:22,082 --> 00:40:23,542
Sounds good to me.
917
00:40:23,626 --> 00:40:24,877
There's one more thing.
918
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,128
There always is.
919
00:40:27,546 --> 00:40:31,800
I'm still bringing Alex over,
only not as a name partner.
920
00:40:31,884 --> 00:40:35,638
But Pfizer's still insisting
we drop Jim Reynolds.
921
00:40:36,096 --> 00:40:37,973
And you want to know
if I'm okay with it.
922
00:40:38,599 --> 00:40:40,893
No. I'm letting him go.
923
00:40:42,061 --> 00:40:44,396
I'm just calling you
to tell you before I tell him,
924
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,607
like I should have done
in the first place.
925
00:40:47,733 --> 00:40:49,526
I was wrong when I said
you weren't ready, Harvey.
926
00:40:50,653 --> 00:40:51,987
No, you weren't.
927
00:40:52,655 --> 00:40:53,906
But you are now.
928
00:40:54,281 --> 00:40:55,741
Good night, closer.
929
00:40:56,533 --> 00:40:57,743
Good night, Jessica.
930
00:40:58,369 --> 00:41:00,496
And take your feet
off my desk.
931
00:41:00,621 --> 00:41:02,122
Not a chance.
