1
00:00:02,375 --> 00:00:04,085
Tell Harvey how you feel.
What?
2
00:00:04,169 --> 00:00:05,670
If you don't
tell him that soon,
3
00:00:05,754 --> 00:00:07,338
you might lose the chance
to tell him at all.
4
00:00:07,505 --> 00:00:10,341
I understand why you go after
the unattainable woman.
5
00:00:10,425 --> 00:00:12,761
You are titillated
by what you cannot have.
6
00:00:12,844 --> 00:00:14,262
But I can have her, Doc.
7
00:00:14,345 --> 00:00:16,389
Only if you choose
to be the bad boy.
8
00:00:16,473 --> 00:00:18,099
What if I want to be
the bad boy?
9
00:00:18,183 --> 00:00:19,809
I am happy to say,
my friend,
10
00:00:19,893 --> 00:00:22,479
we both know that is not you.
11
00:00:22,562 --> 00:00:25,774
Paula said she doesn't think we'd survive
if you and I keep working together.
12
00:00:25,857 --> 00:00:28,151
I want to stay here in the
position that I fought to get
13
00:00:28,234 --> 00:00:30,528
and that I love
and that I know I deserve.
14
00:00:30,612 --> 00:00:32,697
You let Donna go.
She left her letter
15
00:00:32,781 --> 00:00:34,449
of resignation on my desk.
16
00:00:34,532 --> 00:00:36,493
I'm sorry, Harvey.
You didn't make me do it.
17
00:00:36,576 --> 00:00:39,579
I chose to, and now
I'm choosing to undo it.
18
00:00:39,662 --> 00:00:41,873
Are you okay?
Will you come back?
19
00:00:42,707 --> 00:00:44,918
Yes.
Then I'm okay.
20
00:00:45,001 --> 00:00:46,795
The Dean of Admissions is
coming to check on your work
21
00:00:46,878 --> 00:00:48,338
tomorrow night, Miss Sazs.
22
00:00:48,421 --> 00:00:50,381
You mean
Dean Hans von Schlongenhammer?
23
00:00:50,465 --> 00:00:51,925
You're going to
get the hammer
24
00:00:52,008 --> 00:00:54,511
from the schlongen.
Louis, this is my fiancé,
25
00:00:54,636 --> 00:00:56,304
Xander.
Hey.
26
00:00:57,555 --> 00:00:59,516
- What'd you see in him?
- I know.
27
00:01:05,814 --> 00:01:08,441
Louis, we've been here
for 35 minutes,
28
00:01:08,525 --> 00:01:10,777
and you've barely
said a word.
29
00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:12,612
What's going on?
30
00:01:12,695 --> 00:01:14,823
All right, you want to
know the truth?
31
00:01:15,114 --> 00:01:17,534
Last time I saw you,
you said I'm not the bad boy.
32
00:01:18,827 --> 00:01:20,787
But I thought,
You know, why not?
33
00:01:21,371 --> 00:01:23,832
Why can't Louis Litt be the
bad boy just this once?
34
00:01:23,915 --> 00:01:26,626
I see, so you continued
your affair with Sheila.
35
00:01:26,709 --> 00:01:29,254
And it was great.
I mean, I had the girl.
36
00:01:29,337 --> 00:01:30,755
I had the confidence.
37
00:01:31,422 --> 00:01:33,258
But then
when I went to meet her...
38
00:01:34,676 --> 00:01:36,594
He was there.
He?
39
00:01:36,678 --> 00:01:38,930
The shithead that's she's marrying,
Xander Fuck Face.
40
00:01:39,013 --> 00:01:40,849
And how did seeing him
make you feel?
41
00:01:40,932 --> 00:01:42,559
How the hell do you think
it made me feel?
42
00:01:42,642 --> 00:01:43,977
It made me feel like someone
was ripping my heart out,
43
00:01:44,060 --> 00:01:47,355
shredding it to pieces,
and lighting it on fire right in front of me.
44
00:01:47,438 --> 00:01:49,190
Good.
"Good"?
45
00:01:49,274 --> 00:01:51,860
Did you not hear what I just said?
You want me to say it again in German?
46
00:01:51,943 --> 00:01:53,570
I heard you, Louis.
47
00:01:54,612 --> 00:01:55,864
I said "good"
48
00:01:55,947 --> 00:01:59,951
because you may have fooled yourself
into believing there was some future
49
00:02:00,034 --> 00:02:01,494
between you and Sheila.
50
00:02:01,578 --> 00:02:05,707
But coming face-to-face with this Xander
means you can now face the truth.
51
00:02:05,790 --> 00:02:08,501
What truth is that?
That if you do not end this,
52
00:02:08,585 --> 00:02:12,630
that terrible feeling you had last
night will only continue to grow.
53
00:02:13,506 --> 00:02:14,924
I know.
54
00:02:16,801 --> 00:02:18,428
You're right.
55
00:02:21,556 --> 00:02:23,141
It's time to let her go.
56
00:02:28,813 --> 00:02:31,232
Judge Ralls?
You remember me.
57
00:02:31,316 --> 00:02:32,525
Of course.
58
00:02:32,609 --> 00:02:34,402
You treated me fairly
during my trial.
59
00:02:34,485 --> 00:02:36,404
I'll never forget that.
Good.
60
00:02:36,487 --> 00:02:38,531
Because I'm not
just here by accident.
61
00:02:41,326 --> 00:02:44,412
You're being accused of overturning
a verdict for personal gain.
62
00:02:44,495 --> 00:02:46,956
And if I lose,
it could cost me my judgeship.
63
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,001
Forgive me for asking, but why exactly
are you coming to me with this?
64
00:02:50,084 --> 00:02:51,711
Because you're
a hell of a lawyer.
65
00:02:51,836 --> 00:02:53,713
And like you said,
I always treated you
66
00:02:53,796 --> 00:02:56,299
fairly during your trial.
Bullshit.
67
00:02:56,382 --> 00:02:58,843
How many other firms you
go to before coming to me?
68
00:03:00,803 --> 00:03:02,597
Seven.
That's what I thought.
69
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,432
So you're not coming to me
because I know you're fair.
70
00:03:04,515 --> 00:03:06,935
You picked me because
anyone who takes on this case
71
00:03:07,018 --> 00:03:08,853
is gonna have to drop
at least one client,
72
00:03:08,937 --> 00:03:12,523
and you thought you could come down
here and guilt me into doing that.
73
00:03:13,358 --> 00:03:14,984
No, thanks.
74
00:03:15,068 --> 00:03:16,903
And what if that's true?
75
00:03:16,986 --> 00:03:20,281
I can't ask my firm
to drop a client right now.
76
00:03:20,365 --> 00:03:21,699
I'm sorry.
77
00:03:21,783 --> 00:03:22,951
You're sorry?
78
00:03:23,034 --> 00:03:24,494
You stood in my courtroom,
79
00:03:24,577 --> 00:03:26,829
said you'd been given a gift
and you wasted it.
80
00:03:27,455 --> 00:03:28,748
I've served for 20 years.
81
00:03:28,831 --> 00:03:30,458
They're accusing me
of something I didn't do,
82
00:03:30,541 --> 00:03:31,709
and I lose this,
83
00:03:31,793 --> 00:03:33,920
I lose everything
I've ever worked for.
84
00:03:34,629 --> 00:03:37,882
So did you mean that shit
you said to the jury or not?
85
00:03:46,849 --> 00:03:48,434
Xander, what are you
doing here?
86
00:03:48,518 --> 00:03:51,479
Surprised to see someone someplace
they have no business being?
87
00:03:51,562 --> 00:03:55,316
I know the feeling because I felt
it last night in Sheila's office.
88
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,610
And again, I am sorry
for interrupting.
89
00:03:57,694 --> 00:03:59,946
But as anyone who knows me
will tell you,
90
00:04:00,029 --> 00:04:01,990
I take the recruitment of our
associates very seriously...
91
00:04:02,073 --> 00:04:04,325
Cut the bullshit.
92
00:04:04,409 --> 00:04:06,744
I know what you were
doing there last night.
93
00:04:06,828 --> 00:04:08,788
And I'm not gonna
let you keep doing it.
94
00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:11,040
You're pretending
to recruit students
95
00:04:11,124 --> 00:04:12,625
so you can spend time with
her and win her back.
96
00:04:12,709 --> 00:04:13,793
And it's not gonna happen.
97
00:04:13,918 --> 00:04:16,004
That's not what I was doing there.
Well,
98
00:04:16,087 --> 00:04:18,840
you sure as hell weren't there
to recruit a bunch of associates
99
00:04:18,923 --> 00:04:20,925
for your shitty little firm.
100
00:04:21,968 --> 00:04:23,678
What'd you just say
about my firm?
101
00:04:23,761 --> 00:04:26,764
I said I work at Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
102
00:04:26,848 --> 00:04:29,851
We're better than you.
I'm better than you.
103
00:04:29,934 --> 00:04:31,644
And you better
start accepting that.
104
00:04:31,728 --> 00:04:34,480
You know what, Xander?
I wasn't there last night to get Sheila back,
105
00:04:34,564 --> 00:04:36,357
and you're goddamn lucky
I wasn't.
106
00:04:36,441 --> 00:04:38,359
Because if I wanted her back,
she'd be mine.
107
00:04:38,443 --> 00:04:39,819
That's a joke.
You're a joke.
108
00:04:39,902 --> 00:04:41,696
And I'll tell you
something else.
109
00:04:41,779 --> 00:04:44,574
My name is on my firm.
110
00:04:44,657 --> 00:04:47,869
I've never heard of you,
so back off,
111
00:04:47,952 --> 00:04:50,705
or I'll take her from you.
I don't think so.
112
00:04:50,788 --> 00:04:52,582
Because she chose me.
113
00:04:52,665 --> 00:04:55,793
So get your associates from NYU
or some other shitty law school.
114
00:04:55,877 --> 00:04:58,046
I don't really care.
115
00:04:58,588 --> 00:05:01,424
But stay the hell away
from my fiancée.
116
00:05:07,722 --> 00:05:11,392
See the money,
wanna stay for your meal
117
00:05:11,476 --> 00:05:14,729
Get another piece of pie
for your wife
118
00:05:14,812 --> 00:05:17,899
Everybody wanna know
how it feel
119
00:05:17,982 --> 00:05:21,611
Everybody wanna see
what it's like
120
00:05:21,694 --> 00:05:24,572
I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind
121
00:05:24,655 --> 00:05:26,699
Me and missy is so early
122
00:05:26,783 --> 00:05:28,659
Busy, busy making money
123
00:05:28,743 --> 00:05:30,495
All right!
124
00:05:30,578 --> 00:05:35,583
All step back
I'm 'bout to dance
125
00:05:35,666 --> 00:05:37,210
The greenback boogie
126
00:05:42,131 --> 00:05:45,009
Mike, it's not even 9:00 yet.
I know.
127
00:05:45,093 --> 00:05:46,719
I was as surprised to find
you here as you were.
128
00:05:46,803 --> 00:05:48,513
Well, I meant
it's not even 9:00
129
00:05:48,596 --> 00:05:50,556
and you're already coming to me
with that look on your face.
130
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,808
What look on my face?
131
00:05:51,891 --> 00:05:55,061
The look that says you're about to ask
for something that I won't want to do.
132
00:05:56,521 --> 00:05:57,897
Judge Ralls
came to see me.
133
00:05:57,980 --> 00:05:59,774
You mean the judge
that oversaw your fraud case?
134
00:05:59,857 --> 00:06:01,442
She's been accused
of overturning a verdict
135
00:06:01,526 --> 00:06:03,653
for a company that
she has an interest in.
136
00:06:03,736 --> 00:06:05,113
No.
Harvey, I don't think
137
00:06:05,196 --> 00:06:07,657
she did it.
We're trying to sign Techron.
138
00:06:07,740 --> 00:06:09,742
They've got a case that could
end up in front of Ralls.
139
00:06:09,826 --> 00:06:11,702
The second we agree
to represent her,
140
00:06:11,828 --> 00:06:13,955
we can kiss them goodbye.
Okay, look, I...
141
00:06:14,038 --> 00:06:15,623
I don't want this to be
another prison case.
142
00:06:15,706 --> 00:06:17,166
So if you don't want to do it,
we won't,
143
00:06:17,250 --> 00:06:19,127
but we were just on the
right side with Teddy.
144
00:06:19,210 --> 00:06:21,003
I thought it'd be nice for us
to be on the right side again.
145
00:06:21,087 --> 00:06:22,672
What do you mean, "us"?
146
00:06:22,755 --> 00:06:24,507
Even if I said yes,
you don't need me to fight this.
147
00:06:24,590 --> 00:06:26,717
I heard about
what happened with Paula.
148
00:06:27,718 --> 00:06:29,428
I just thought that
if we did this thing together,
149
00:06:29,512 --> 00:06:31,305
maybe we could
have some fun.
150
00:06:32,849 --> 00:06:35,059
In that case,
get your shit.
151
00:06:35,143 --> 00:06:37,979
Brief me on the way.
152
00:06:38,062 --> 00:06:39,730
On our way where?
153
00:06:39,814 --> 00:06:42,441
If you know A Few Good Men
as well as you say you do,
154
00:06:42,525 --> 00:06:44,443
you'll be able to guess.
155
00:06:49,115 --> 00:06:50,741
- Thanks.
- Excuse me.
156
00:06:50,825 --> 00:06:52,660
Aren't you Donna Paulsen?
157
00:06:52,743 --> 00:06:55,746
I am, and who might you be?
158
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:57,206
David Fox.
159
00:06:57,290 --> 00:06:58,916
Fox Commercial Leasing.
160
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,543
Oh, I know who you are, Mr. Fox.
You own the building.
161
00:07:00,626 --> 00:07:01,836
Please, call me David.
162
00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:03,754
You know this isn't
the only building I own.
163
00:07:03,838 --> 00:07:05,548
Hmm. Exactly how many
do you own?
164
00:07:05,631 --> 00:07:06,883
Thirty-four.
165
00:07:06,966 --> 00:07:08,843
Well, David,
if you think telling me
166
00:07:08,926 --> 00:07:11,262
that you own 34 properties
is going to impress me,
167
00:07:11,345 --> 00:07:12,847
you just might be right.
168
00:07:12,930 --> 00:07:14,682
Well, I do love being right,
and you know what?
169
00:07:14,765 --> 00:07:17,518
I wish I could keep doing this all day,
but unfortunately,
170
00:07:17,602 --> 00:07:19,478
this isn't a social call.
171
00:07:20,229 --> 00:07:22,523
You want us to quadruple
our security deposit?
172
00:07:22,607 --> 00:07:25,026
You took Jessica Pearson's
name off the wall,
173
00:07:25,109 --> 00:07:27,987
and then you declared you
want nothing to do with her.
174
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:31,115
That is a material change
in your firm.
175
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:33,242
It could affect your ability
to make rent.
176
00:07:33,618 --> 00:07:34,744
Look.
177
00:07:34,869 --> 00:07:37,038
We did distance ourselves
from Jessica Pearson.
178
00:07:37,121 --> 00:07:38,456
But we also
restructured the firm,
179
00:07:38,539 --> 00:07:39,916
and we're stronger
than ever.
180
00:07:39,999 --> 00:07:41,584
And if you need me to show
you the books to prove it,
181
00:07:41,667 --> 00:07:42,668
I'm happy to do that.
182
00:07:42,752 --> 00:07:45,546
That's not gonna be necessary, Donna,
but look, I've got this board of directors
183
00:07:45,630 --> 00:07:47,882
that I have to contend with,
so if you could
184
00:07:47,965 --> 00:07:50,885
draft a letter documenting
exactly what you just told me
185
00:07:50,968 --> 00:07:54,013
and hand-deliver it
to my office,
186
00:07:54,597 --> 00:07:56,724
I just might able to
keep them at bay.
187
00:07:56,807 --> 00:07:58,226
You know, if you wanted me
to come to your office,
188
00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:59,602
you could have just asked.
189
00:07:59,977 --> 00:08:01,354
I thought I just did.
190
00:08:06,984 --> 00:08:08,653
Katrina,
drop what you're doing.
191
00:08:08,736 --> 00:08:10,238
I need my black swan.
192
00:08:10,321 --> 00:08:12,406
Let me guess.
Xander Epstein.
193
00:08:12,490 --> 00:08:14,075
What? How could you
know that?
194
00:08:14,158 --> 00:08:15,743
When I saw the announcement
about Sheila's wedding,
195
00:08:15,826 --> 00:08:17,536
I knew there'd
eventually be a duel.
196
00:08:17,620 --> 00:08:19,747
Which is why I already
started digging into him.
197
00:08:19,830 --> 00:08:21,249
Well, then tell me
what you got,
198
00:08:21,332 --> 00:08:22,959
because I need to beat this
clown 19 ways from Sunday,
199
00:08:23,042 --> 00:08:24,627
and I've never even
heard of him.
200
00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:26,295
The reason you haven't
heard of him is because
201
00:08:26,379 --> 00:08:29,590
he's an expert in a very small
subset of technology law.
202
00:08:29,674 --> 00:08:31,592
Well, shit. I don't know
anything about tech law.
203
00:08:31,676 --> 00:08:34,470
But what you do know about is
having a huge chip on your shoulder
204
00:08:34,553 --> 00:08:37,598
and using it to beat the shit out
of anyone who stands in your way.
205
00:08:37,682 --> 00:08:38,933
That I do.
206
00:08:39,684 --> 00:08:41,143
This is gonna be
one hell of a duel.
207
00:08:41,227 --> 00:08:43,938
I know. He's gonna be
the Burr to your Hamilton.
208
00:08:45,022 --> 00:08:46,023
But Hamilton dies.
209
00:08:46,107 --> 00:08:47,942
Not this time, Louis.
210
00:08:48,025 --> 00:08:49,235
Not this time.
211
00:08:53,864 --> 00:08:56,284
I don't get it.
How could I have guessed this?
212
00:08:56,367 --> 00:08:58,661
They didn't go to batting
cages in A Few Good Men.
213
00:08:58,744 --> 00:09:01,706
No, but Tom Cruise says he can
think better with his bat.
214
00:09:02,206 --> 00:09:04,375
There is no way
I could have guessed that.
215
00:09:05,126 --> 00:09:07,003
All right, give me
the CliffsNotes.
216
00:09:07,086 --> 00:09:10,006
Two months ago,
PolyCode v. K Systems.
217
00:09:10,089 --> 00:09:11,882
Jury ruled in favor
of PolyCode.
218
00:09:11,966 --> 00:09:15,219
Ralls overturned the case
on its merits.
219
00:09:15,303 --> 00:09:17,555
Let me guess.
Whoever's representing PolyCode
220
00:09:17,638 --> 00:09:20,182
found out that Ralls has a
ton of money in K Systems.
221
00:09:20,349 --> 00:09:21,892
Exactly.
222
00:09:21,976 --> 00:09:25,062
But I talked to her finance guy,
and he says it's in a trust,
223
00:09:25,146 --> 00:09:26,814
it's blind, and he's willing
to put it in writing.
224
00:09:26,897 --> 00:09:28,274
Who's repping PolyCode?
225
00:09:28,733 --> 00:09:30,026
Smith and Devane.
226
00:09:30,109 --> 00:09:31,902
Well, they're not idiots.
227
00:09:31,986 --> 00:09:34,071
They've got to figure that we
could find proof like that.
228
00:09:34,155 --> 00:09:35,865
Yeah, so the only question is,
229
00:09:35,948 --> 00:09:37,825
why do they think
they have a shot?
230
00:09:41,287 --> 00:09:44,248
Wait a second,
what if they don't think they have a shot?
231
00:09:44,332 --> 00:09:45,791
What are you talking about?
232
00:09:45,875 --> 00:09:47,960
You said you didn't
want to represent Ralls
233
00:09:48,044 --> 00:09:50,671
because it could affect
another case we might try.
234
00:09:50,755 --> 00:09:52,173
She gets put in review,
235
00:09:52,256 --> 00:09:53,966
she's gonna be kicked off
the bench for six months.
236
00:09:54,050 --> 00:09:56,135
Holy shit,
they want her off so she won't
237
00:09:56,218 --> 00:09:58,429
find against a different
client in an upcoming case.
238
00:09:58,512 --> 00:10:00,306
Which means if we can
get her to recuse herself
239
00:10:00,389 --> 00:10:02,350
from whatever the case is...
They'll drop this bullshit
240
00:10:02,433 --> 00:10:03,684
like a hot potato.
241
00:10:03,768 --> 00:10:06,228
Well, look at that.
I am having fun.
242
00:10:07,229 --> 00:10:08,856
Now I'm having
even more fun
243
00:10:08,939 --> 00:10:12,485
because you hit like a monkey
trying to have sex with a buffalo.
244
00:10:12,568 --> 00:10:15,071
What kind of nature films
did you watch as a kid?
245
00:10:15,154 --> 00:10:16,781
I didn't watch any.
246
00:10:16,864 --> 00:10:19,075
I was too busy learning
how to hit a baseball.
247
00:10:25,873 --> 00:10:27,458
What are you
doing here?
248
00:10:27,541 --> 00:10:30,336
You said you're the better lawyer.
I thought we'd put it to the test.
249
00:10:30,419 --> 00:10:31,879
You really want to
pick a fight
250
00:10:31,962 --> 00:10:34,048
with me in tech law?
I wrote the book on it.
251
00:10:34,131 --> 00:10:35,549
I don't care what
you wrote the book on.
252
00:10:35,633 --> 00:10:38,010
I just took my glove off and
slapped you in the face with it,
253
00:10:38,094 --> 00:10:39,428
so are you gonna run to
Mommy or pick up a pistol?
254
00:10:39,512 --> 00:10:41,055
You don't have the standing
to bring this suit.
255
00:10:41,138 --> 00:10:43,182
Yes, I do,
because one of the massive banks
256
00:10:43,265 --> 00:10:44,767
in the area
I wrote the book on
257
00:10:44,850 --> 00:10:47,395
has a 40% stake
in Office Warehouse.
258
00:10:47,478 --> 00:10:50,898
And the new microchips in your
printers lock out our ink cartridge.
259
00:10:50,981 --> 00:10:52,400
Oh, I get it.
260
00:10:52,483 --> 00:10:56,779
You don't like that we have the most
exquisite piece of equipment ever made
261
00:10:56,862 --> 00:10:59,323
and the only cartridge
that will ever get to fill it
262
00:10:59,407 --> 00:11:03,035
with the full range of
proprietary ink again is mine.
263
00:11:03,327 --> 00:11:05,329
How dare you talk about
Sheila like that?
264
00:11:05,413 --> 00:11:06,455
Sheila?
265
00:11:06,539 --> 00:11:08,457
I thought we were talking
about who's the better lawyer.
266
00:11:08,541 --> 00:11:10,209
Because let me assure you,
no matter where
267
00:11:10,292 --> 00:11:12,420
this little charade ends,
you're gonna be left standing
268
00:11:12,503 --> 00:11:16,132
alone with nothing but
your Dictaphone in your hand.
269
00:11:16,215 --> 00:11:17,508
She told you about
my Dictaphone?
270
00:11:17,591 --> 00:11:19,385
She told me everything.
271
00:11:20,010 --> 00:11:21,262
Now get out of my office.
272
00:11:21,345 --> 00:11:25,015
I have to call my fiancée and tell her
I have a nuisance suit to take care of.
273
00:11:30,688 --> 00:11:31,814
All right.
274
00:11:31,897 --> 00:11:33,065
Let's make this quick.
275
00:11:33,149 --> 00:11:34,900
I only have
a 15-minute recess.
276
00:11:35,401 --> 00:11:38,821
This won't take that much time as
long as you're willing to sign this.
277
00:11:38,946 --> 00:11:40,948
What is this?
It's you recusing yourself
278
00:11:41,031 --> 00:11:42,741
from any cases being tried
by Smith and Devane
279
00:11:42,825 --> 00:11:45,202
for the next three years.
And why would I agree to that?
280
00:11:45,286 --> 00:11:47,913
Because if you do,
this whole thing goes away.
281
00:11:47,997 --> 00:11:49,957
I don't care what happens
to this thing.
282
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,126
It's blackmail,
and I'm not giving in to it.
283
00:11:52,209 --> 00:11:54,712
Listen to me, this avoids
even the rumor of something
284
00:11:54,795 --> 00:11:56,172
that could destroy
your reputation.
285
00:11:56,255 --> 00:11:57,339
That's what
you came to me for.
286
00:11:57,423 --> 00:11:59,091
I came to you to defend me.
287
00:11:59,175 --> 00:12:02,178
We're offering you a way to
get out of needing a defense.
288
00:12:02,261 --> 00:12:05,139
What you're offering is a chance
to do something unethical.
289
00:12:05,806 --> 00:12:06,891
You don't do this,
290
00:12:06,974 --> 00:12:09,101
we have to argue this in front
of a judicial committee,
291
00:12:09,185 --> 00:12:11,729
which means all bets are off.
I know what it means.
292
00:12:11,854 --> 00:12:12,855
And I don't care.
293
00:12:12,938 --> 00:12:15,024
So instead of trying
to broker some backroom deal,
294
00:12:15,107 --> 00:12:17,193
why don't you try to figure
out how to clear my name?
295
00:12:17,276 --> 00:12:19,069
Because I recuse myself,
296
00:12:19,153 --> 00:12:20,988
I might as well have
gotten paid to overrule
297
00:12:21,071 --> 00:12:23,073
that verdict
in the first place.
298
00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:36,170
Is this a bad time?
299
00:12:36,253 --> 00:12:38,839
You know, I don't think it's possible
to have a bad time if you're around.
300
00:12:38,923 --> 00:12:41,425
Trust me, truer words
were never spoken.
301
00:12:41,509 --> 00:12:43,761
And just to make your day
a little bit brighter,
302
00:12:43,844 --> 00:12:45,221
I have the letter you needed.
303
00:12:45,304 --> 00:12:46,597
Excellent.
304
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:49,016
Now, I don't want you
to leave here empty-handed,
305
00:12:49,099 --> 00:12:50,684
so I got one for you too.
306
00:12:52,686 --> 00:12:53,896
Here you go.
307
00:12:55,105 --> 00:12:56,273
You're kicking us out?
308
00:12:56,524 --> 00:12:58,067
I'm giving you
90 days' notice.
309
00:12:58,150 --> 00:12:59,360
Then I'm kicking you out.
310
00:12:59,443 --> 00:13:01,070
That's a violation
of our lease.
311
00:13:01,570 --> 00:13:03,030
It would be
if you had a lease.
312
00:13:03,113 --> 00:13:04,573
It was rendered invalid
when you restructured,
313
00:13:04,657 --> 00:13:07,493
which, if I'm not mistaken,
you just gave me proof of right here.
314
00:13:07,576 --> 00:13:11,038
So all that concern about us not being
able to pay our rent was just...
315
00:13:11,121 --> 00:13:12,540
I believe they call it
a ploy.
316
00:13:12,623 --> 00:13:14,500
Yeah, and I think we know
what they call you.
317
00:13:14,583 --> 00:13:15,834
Why are you doing this?
318
00:13:16,126 --> 00:13:19,213
You guys have been carrying a
below-market lease for years.
319
00:13:19,296 --> 00:13:20,589
I saw the new girl
on the block
320
00:13:20,673 --> 00:13:22,424
get promoted to a job
she'd never done before.
321
00:13:22,508 --> 00:13:23,926
I took advantage.
322
00:13:24,218 --> 00:13:26,178
So all that flirting
was just bullshit?
323
00:13:26,262 --> 00:13:27,888
No, I never said that.
324
00:13:27,972 --> 00:13:29,682
This is business.
That was fun.
325
00:13:29,765 --> 00:13:31,350
Mmm, well,
I don't find it fun.
326
00:13:31,433 --> 00:13:33,102
'Cause I may be the new girl
on the block,
327
00:13:33,185 --> 00:13:35,354
but you just picked a fight with
the best lawyers in the city,
328
00:13:35,437 --> 00:13:38,065
and in case you haven't noticed,
they're on the block, too.
329
00:13:38,148 --> 00:13:39,900
You want to go tell
Harvey Specter and Louis Litt
330
00:13:39,984 --> 00:13:41,902
their new COO just got
served with that suit
331
00:13:41,986 --> 00:13:43,445
and cost them their home,
you go right ahead.
332
00:13:43,529 --> 00:13:46,657
Or you and I can
quietly amend the lease,
333
00:13:46,740 --> 00:13:49,577
the rent increases 100%
over three years,
334
00:13:49,660 --> 00:13:51,704
and no one
ever has to know.
335
00:13:52,329 --> 00:13:54,206
I'm not letting you
get away with this.
336
00:14:05,134 --> 00:14:06,635
Sheila, what are you
doing here?
337
00:14:06,719 --> 00:14:09,972
Yeah, I'm not here to answer questions,
Louis. I'm here to ask them.
338
00:14:11,181 --> 00:14:13,350
What the hell are you doing
suing Xander?
339
00:14:13,434 --> 00:14:15,311
What do you think I'm doing?
I'm protecting my honor.
340
00:14:15,394 --> 00:14:18,147
Louis, I know it upset you to
see us together at my office,
341
00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:21,442
but I never thought you'd
start something like this.
342
00:14:21,525 --> 00:14:23,193
You know what, Sheila?
As far as I'm concerned,
343
00:14:23,277 --> 00:14:24,612
I didn't start anything.
344
00:14:24,695 --> 00:14:26,614
You did.
What?
345
00:14:26,697 --> 00:14:28,240
I had nothing
to do with this.
346
00:14:28,324 --> 00:14:29,491
You have everything
to do with it.
347
00:14:29,575 --> 00:14:31,118
I was living my life.
348
00:14:31,201 --> 00:14:32,328
You know what?
349
00:14:32,411 --> 00:14:34,330
I was dumb enough
350
00:14:34,413 --> 00:14:37,082
to think that fate
finally got it right,
351
00:14:37,166 --> 00:14:39,293
that there was a reason that
you were back here in New York
352
00:14:39,376 --> 00:14:41,462
and that you would figure out
that that reason was me.
353
00:14:41,545 --> 00:14:43,088
But when I saw you with him,
when I heard you tell him
354
00:14:43,172 --> 00:14:45,466
that you just don't know
what you ever saw in me,
355
00:14:45,549 --> 00:14:49,428
and then that dick shows up at my office
to tell me to stay away from you.
356
00:14:49,511 --> 00:14:52,765
So you engineered a
lawsuit to get me back?
357
00:14:52,848 --> 00:14:54,808
Because, Louis,
that's not gonna happen.
358
00:14:54,892 --> 00:14:56,644
I know it's not gonna happen.
That's not what this is about.
359
00:14:56,727 --> 00:14:58,020
Then what is this about?
360
00:14:58,103 --> 00:14:59,605
I told you
what this is about.
361
00:14:59,688 --> 00:15:01,607
It's about my honor.
362
00:15:05,235 --> 00:15:07,029
I don't get the girl.
363
00:15:08,572 --> 00:15:10,532
I don't get to be happy.
364
00:15:12,242 --> 00:15:15,120
But at least I get to beat
this asshole into the ground.
365
00:15:17,289 --> 00:15:19,041
Louis, if you do this,
366
00:15:19,750 --> 00:15:21,877
he's going to find out
about us.
367
00:15:22,169 --> 00:15:24,421
And it's gonna
ruin my relationship...
368
00:15:25,631 --> 00:15:27,549
And ruin my life.
369
00:15:27,633 --> 00:15:29,426
Sheila, you have my word.
370
00:15:29,968 --> 00:15:31,929
I won't let that happen
no matter what.
371
00:15:32,596 --> 00:15:33,889
Okay, Louis.
372
00:15:34,431 --> 00:15:36,433
I just hope you know
what you're doing.
373
00:15:44,817 --> 00:15:47,361
Rachel, I need you to drop
whatever it is you're doing
374
00:15:47,444 --> 00:15:49,446
and come up with a lawsuit
that sends the son of a bitch
375
00:15:49,530 --> 00:15:50,698
who owns this building
to prison
376
00:15:50,823 --> 00:15:53,367
for the rest of his miserable life.
Okay, calm down.
377
00:15:53,450 --> 00:15:55,119
I have no idea
what you're talking about.
378
00:15:55,202 --> 00:15:58,414
Our landlord tricked me into admitting
that we restructured the firm,
379
00:15:58,497 --> 00:16:01,166
and now he's filed suit
to evict us in 90 days.
380
00:16:01,250 --> 00:16:02,418
Donna, this is bad.
381
00:16:02,501 --> 00:16:04,545
You have to get
Harvey and Louis involved.
382
00:16:04,628 --> 00:16:06,714
Rachel, I can't go to Harvey
with this right now.
383
00:16:06,797 --> 00:16:08,465
I just... I can't.
384
00:16:09,091 --> 00:16:10,718
Donna, what's going on?
385
00:16:15,597 --> 00:16:17,641
I kissed him.
What?
386
00:16:17,725 --> 00:16:19,393
I knew things were getting
serious with Paula,
387
00:16:19,476 --> 00:16:20,978
and I just... I had to know.
388
00:16:21,603 --> 00:16:23,230
Donna, that's huge.
389
00:16:23,313 --> 00:16:24,690
That's not
the point, Rachel.
390
00:16:24,773 --> 00:16:26,984
But I feel
terrible because...
391
00:16:27,818 --> 00:16:29,778
Harvey and Paula
aren't together anymore.
392
00:16:29,862 --> 00:16:31,739
And there's no way you're
gonna be responsible for that
393
00:16:31,822 --> 00:16:33,574
and for the firm
losing its home.
394
00:16:33,657 --> 00:16:35,325
No, there's not.
395
00:16:35,409 --> 00:16:38,328
Okay, we might be able to
find a way to fix this thing,
396
00:16:38,412 --> 00:16:41,081
but it can't be bullshit.
397
00:16:41,165 --> 00:16:43,834
Then let's come up with
something that's not bullshit.
398
00:16:48,672 --> 00:16:50,257
You were right, Mike.
399
00:16:50,340 --> 00:16:52,134
I needed the distraction.
400
00:16:52,843 --> 00:16:53,927
Thanks.
401
00:16:56,430 --> 00:16:58,265
Harvey, I know
it's none of my business
402
00:16:58,348 --> 00:17:00,684
and you probably don't want
to talk about it, but...
403
00:17:02,186 --> 00:17:03,854
What happened with Paula?
404
00:17:10,861 --> 00:17:12,404
Donna kissed me.
405
00:17:14,573 --> 00:17:15,657
What?
406
00:17:18,869 --> 00:17:23,081
It was after Malik was over,
and out of the clear blue sky,
407
00:17:23,165 --> 00:17:24,833
Donna kissed me.
408
00:17:24,917 --> 00:17:27,169
Look, it's a long story,
but it led me to realize
409
00:17:27,252 --> 00:17:29,213
that Paula's not the one.
410
00:17:30,589 --> 00:17:31,799
Because Donna is?
411
00:17:31,882 --> 00:17:33,425
That's not what I'm saying.
412
00:17:33,509 --> 00:17:34,843
Then what are you saying?
413
00:17:35,761 --> 00:17:38,639
I'm saying that you should
know better than anyone
414
00:17:38,722 --> 00:17:41,642
that sometimes shit happens
you couldn't see coming.
415
00:17:42,392 --> 00:17:44,353
It knocks you
into a different life,
416
00:17:44,436 --> 00:17:46,563
and this is
one of those times.
417
00:17:48,565 --> 00:17:50,859
Maybe you couldn't have
seen it coming, but...
418
00:17:52,402 --> 00:17:53,904
I think I should have.
419
00:17:54,905 --> 00:17:56,448
What are you talking about?
420
00:17:58,283 --> 00:17:59,868
You're gonna be pissed.
421
00:18:01,328 --> 00:18:03,288
That night before
we went to see Malik,
422
00:18:03,372 --> 00:18:07,251
I kind of told Donna that
if she had feelings for you
423
00:18:07,334 --> 00:18:10,712
that she better tell you
before it was too late.
424
00:18:12,339 --> 00:18:14,591
Look, I didn't think
she was gonna kiss you.
425
00:18:15,509 --> 00:18:17,052
It's okay, Mike.
426
00:18:17,678 --> 00:18:19,888
You couldn't have known
she was gonna do that.
427
00:18:23,559 --> 00:18:25,602
Wait a second.
You couldn't have known.
428
00:18:26,270 --> 00:18:27,437
What?
429
00:18:28,188 --> 00:18:31,149
We couldn't have known that
Ralls wouldn't recuse herself,
430
00:18:31,233 --> 00:18:33,485
which means they won't
know she didn't.
431
00:18:35,404 --> 00:18:37,447
Are you talking about
forging her signature?
432
00:18:37,531 --> 00:18:38,907
Yeah, I am.
433
00:18:38,991 --> 00:18:41,869
We get Smith and Devane
to sign off in writing,
434
00:18:41,952 --> 00:18:43,579
that's as good as
them admitting
435
00:18:43,662 --> 00:18:45,455
that they fabricated
this whole thing.
436
00:18:45,539 --> 00:18:47,457
I don't know how I feel
about crossing that line.
437
00:18:47,541 --> 00:18:50,294
Mike, we've done a lot worse for
people that deserve a lot less.
438
00:18:50,377 --> 00:18:52,337
You yourself said that
she deserves this.
439
00:18:56,258 --> 00:18:57,384
Okay.
440
00:19:00,762 --> 00:19:02,514
Okay, let's do it.
441
00:19:08,353 --> 00:19:11,189
I hope you're ready, Epstein.
Oh, I'm ready, Litt.
442
00:19:11,273 --> 00:19:12,649
You sure? Because I have a
little precedent in my pocket
443
00:19:12,733 --> 00:19:14,234
by the name of
Jenkins v. Sanders.
444
00:19:14,318 --> 00:19:16,153
Which might frighten me
if Howell v. Munley
445
00:19:16,236 --> 00:19:17,905
didn't trump Sanders
in 2010.
446
00:19:17,988 --> 00:19:19,573
Well, then it's a good thing
that I brought a little vixen
447
00:19:19,656 --> 00:19:21,658
to the party by the name of
U.S. v. Xerox.
448
00:19:21,825 --> 00:19:23,410
Oh, I guess someone
didn't hear the news.
449
00:19:23,493 --> 00:19:24,912
Xerox was overturned
last week.
450
00:19:24,995 --> 00:19:26,747
Bullshit.
Okay.
451
00:19:26,830 --> 00:19:29,207
It is bullshit.
But it doesn't matter.
452
00:19:29,291 --> 00:19:31,418
Because that only applies
to analog technology,
453
00:19:31,501 --> 00:19:34,421
which hasn't been relevant
in, mmm, 40 years.
454
00:19:34,504 --> 00:19:36,256
And whatever else you have
doesn't matter either
455
00:19:36,340 --> 00:19:37,925
because I've got
a stack of precedents
456
00:19:38,008 --> 00:19:41,595
up to your fat face that'll
crush anything you bring up.
457
00:19:46,433 --> 00:19:47,517
Okay, change of plans.
458
00:19:47,601 --> 00:19:48,852
We need to file a motion
to delete
459
00:19:48,936 --> 00:19:50,437
this motherfucker's products
from our store.
460
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,855
Louis, you can't do that.
461
00:19:51,939 --> 00:19:53,607
Yes, I can,
and I'm going to.
462
00:19:53,690 --> 00:19:55,776
What is wrong with you?
We have a solid plan.
463
00:19:55,859 --> 00:19:57,611
Don't you get it?
We picked a fight beyond our depth.
464
00:19:57,694 --> 00:19:58,946
He's gonna kills us
unless I do this.
465
00:19:59,029 --> 00:20:02,449
Louis, if we pull a product from
one of our biggest client's shelves
466
00:20:02,532 --> 00:20:04,368
without their permission,
they will go ape-shit.
467
00:20:04,451 --> 00:20:06,912
I don't care.
Well, I do.
468
00:20:06,995 --> 00:20:08,497
And I'm not gonna
let you do it.
469
00:20:08,580 --> 00:20:09,831
All right,
what are we doing here?
470
00:20:09,915 --> 00:20:11,458
Time-out.
471
00:20:11,541 --> 00:20:13,835
What?
A postponement, Your Honor.
472
00:20:13,961 --> 00:20:16,463
- I request a postponement.
- On what grounds?
473
00:20:16,546 --> 00:20:19,383
One minute ago, he was ready
to go toe-to-toe with me.
474
00:20:19,466 --> 00:20:20,717
I...
475
00:20:21,468 --> 00:20:22,469
I, um...
476
00:20:22,552 --> 00:20:23,887
It's my fault,
Your Honor.
477
00:20:23,971 --> 00:20:26,390
I brought the wrong
case files to court.
478
00:20:26,473 --> 00:20:30,477
Please don't punish Mr.
Litt for my incompetence.
479
00:20:32,813 --> 00:20:35,941
All right, we will postpone
until tomorrow.
480
00:20:36,024 --> 00:20:37,776
But you two better
get your act together.
481
00:20:37,859 --> 00:20:40,988
This court does not appreciate
having its time wasted.
482
00:20:41,071 --> 00:20:42,990
Thank you, Your Honor.
483
00:20:43,073 --> 00:20:45,033
Look, I'm sorry, Louis,
but if I didn't do that,
484
00:20:45,117 --> 00:20:46,660
- we'd lose this client.
- It's okay.
485
00:20:46,743 --> 00:20:47,828
Louis is used to
losing things.
486
00:20:47,911 --> 00:20:49,663
Cases. Women.
487
00:20:49,746 --> 00:20:51,039
You smug dick.
488
00:20:51,123 --> 00:20:52,958
You think I'm the one
losing Sheila?
489
00:20:53,041 --> 00:20:54,626
I think you lost her
a long time ago,
490
00:20:54,710 --> 00:20:56,378
and now you're showing
everyone why.
491
00:20:56,461 --> 00:20:58,755
Well, you're showing everybody that
you're the most pathetic piece of shit
492
00:20:58,839 --> 00:21:00,465
that ever lived.
Yeah? And why is that?
493
00:21:00,549 --> 00:21:01,925
Because I'm the one
screwing your fiancée
494
00:21:02,009 --> 00:21:04,845
behind your back
and in front of it, too.
495
00:21:04,928 --> 00:21:06,513
What?
Oh, yeah, last Tuesday,
496
00:21:06,596 --> 00:21:09,057
we played cops and robbers,
and I vandalized her all night long.
497
00:21:09,141 --> 00:21:10,684
No, that can't be true.
Oh, it's true.
498
00:21:10,767 --> 00:21:12,352
Because you may be
the one she wants,
499
00:21:12,436 --> 00:21:14,312
but I'm the one she needs.
500
00:21:18,859 --> 00:21:21,528
Louis, please tell me
you didn't say that to him.
501
00:21:21,611 --> 00:21:23,030
No, I didn't,
but I wanted to.
502
00:21:23,113 --> 00:21:24,614
And I have to, I will.
503
00:21:24,698 --> 00:21:26,533
Louis, you can't do that.
504
00:21:26,616 --> 00:21:27,868
You gave Sheila your word.
505
00:21:27,951 --> 00:21:29,703
I don't care.
I need to win this case.
506
00:21:29,786 --> 00:21:31,830
And if you use your affair
to do that,
507
00:21:31,913 --> 00:21:33,874
you will regret it
the rest of your life.
508
00:21:33,957 --> 00:21:35,876
But if I lose, I'll have to
live the rest of my life
509
00:21:35,959 --> 00:21:37,961
knowing that he got the
better of me in everything.
510
00:21:38,045 --> 00:21:40,839
Then find a way to win
without using that tactic.
511
00:21:42,132 --> 00:21:44,009
Because if you
can't do that,
512
00:21:44,092 --> 00:21:46,219
I believe we must
stop seeing each other.
513
00:21:47,095 --> 00:21:48,972
What?
Louis,
514
00:21:49,056 --> 00:21:51,433
I don't say it lightly,
but I have taken an oath
515
00:21:51,516 --> 00:21:52,976
to do no harm.
516
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,730
And lately
I have been feeling
517
00:21:56,855 --> 00:21:58,982
our relationship is doing harm.
How could you say that?
518
00:21:59,066 --> 00:22:00,567
You said that you would
never leave me.
519
00:22:00,650 --> 00:22:01,943
I know.
520
00:22:02,027 --> 00:22:04,112
And it would cause me
great pain.
521
00:22:04,905 --> 00:22:09,534
But my oath to my profession is
greater than my words to you.
522
00:22:09,618 --> 00:22:12,746
And if my willing to leave
you does not prevent you
523
00:22:12,829 --> 00:22:15,040
from hurting the woman
you claim to love,
524
00:22:16,708 --> 00:22:19,461
then what we are doing here
is not working.
525
00:22:34,184 --> 00:22:35,477
Donna.
526
00:22:35,685 --> 00:22:38,814
To what do I owe the pleasure?
Got a present for you.
527
00:22:41,191 --> 00:22:42,901
All right,
let me get this straight.
528
00:22:42,984 --> 00:22:44,444
You're trying to use a statute
meant to protect squatters
529
00:22:44,528 --> 00:22:46,613
to keep your lease?
Not trying.
530
00:22:46,696 --> 00:22:48,782
Doing, and that suit's
already been filed.
531
00:22:48,865 --> 00:22:52,077
So you can either spend more in legal fees
than you'll make increasing our rent,
532
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,703
or you can drop
this whole thing.
533
00:22:53,870 --> 00:22:56,540
I got to admit,
this is very impressive.
534
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,084
Except for one little thing.
What's that?
535
00:22:59,167 --> 00:23:01,586
The clause in your lease
which states
536
00:23:01,670 --> 00:23:04,965
if the tenant initiates a lawsuit
prior to engaging in arbitration,
537
00:23:05,048 --> 00:23:07,717
I have the right to terminate
your lease within 30 days.
538
00:23:07,801 --> 00:23:09,511
We didn't initiate
the lawsuit. You did.
539
00:23:09,594 --> 00:23:10,929
Did I?
540
00:23:11,012 --> 00:23:12,472
That lawsuit
was never filed.
541
00:23:12,556 --> 00:23:14,474
Wow.
You son of a bitch.
542
00:23:14,558 --> 00:23:18,061
You have so little respect for me that
you would deal in bad faith twice?
543
00:23:18,145 --> 00:23:20,814
Hey, look, I did what
I had to do, all right?
544
00:23:20,897 --> 00:23:22,649
And look,
this isn't personal.
545
00:23:22,732 --> 00:23:25,152
Donna, I told you I own
buildings all over the city.
546
00:23:25,235 --> 00:23:28,071
Right? I wouldn't be able to do that if
I didn't know how to get what I want.
547
00:23:28,155 --> 00:23:30,991
And when word gets out that you
treat your tenants like this,
548
00:23:31,074 --> 00:23:32,534
those buildings aren't
gonna be worth shit.
549
00:23:32,617 --> 00:23:34,077
Trust me, when you
got views like mine
550
00:23:34,161 --> 00:23:36,997
from Central Park
to Battery Park,
551
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,915
people don't care
how they're treated.
552
00:23:38,999 --> 00:23:40,584
They just want in.
553
00:23:40,667 --> 00:23:41,835
As a matter of fact,
I might have something
554
00:23:41,918 --> 00:23:44,254
for you on the other side of town.
I think you guys are gonna love it,
555
00:23:44,337 --> 00:23:46,047
'cause now that
you've filed this,
556
00:23:46,131 --> 00:23:48,592
you're gonna be moving
sooner than you thought.
557
00:23:54,181 --> 00:23:55,599
Ms. Shear?
558
00:23:55,682 --> 00:23:57,559
Mike Ross.
This is Harvey Specter.
559
00:23:57,642 --> 00:23:59,811
I'm sorry. Do I have a case
against you I don't know about?
560
00:23:59,895 --> 00:24:02,189
We're representing
Judge Sandra Ralls.
561
00:24:02,272 --> 00:24:03,565
Then I guess I do.
562
00:24:03,648 --> 00:24:06,693
Unless, of course, you want to
withdraw your complaint against her.
563
00:24:06,776 --> 00:24:07,944
And why would I do that?
564
00:24:08,028 --> 00:24:12,032
Because we have a signed agreement
saying she'll recuse herself
565
00:24:12,115 --> 00:24:14,868
from Exodyne v. The State
of New York.
566
00:24:16,244 --> 00:24:17,954
I'm afraid
that's not good enough.
567
00:24:18,038 --> 00:24:19,247
Are you kidding me?
568
00:24:19,331 --> 00:24:21,124
She's stepping down
from a huge case
569
00:24:21,208 --> 00:24:23,043
that you have pending with her
which we all know
570
00:24:23,126 --> 00:24:24,544
is what this is really about.
571
00:24:24,628 --> 00:24:26,880
What this is really about,
Mr. Ross,
572
00:24:26,963 --> 00:24:28,715
is removing a judge
from the bench
573
00:24:28,798 --> 00:24:30,884
who's demonstrated an
inability to follow the law.
574
00:24:30,967 --> 00:24:32,886
Bullshit. She followed
the law in your case.
575
00:24:32,969 --> 00:24:34,638
You just didn't like
the result.
576
00:24:34,721 --> 00:24:36,097
Then why don't you ask her
if she followed the law
577
00:24:36,181 --> 00:24:37,682
in the Sullivan case
12 years ago?
578
00:24:37,766 --> 00:24:39,226
What the hell are you
talking about?
579
00:24:39,309 --> 00:24:41,895
Your client takes matters
into her own hands.
580
00:24:41,978 --> 00:24:45,148
She did it 12 years ago.
She did it two months ago.
581
00:24:45,232 --> 00:24:47,484
God knows how many times
she's done it in between.
582
00:24:47,567 --> 00:24:49,319
But she's never
going to do it again.
583
00:24:49,402 --> 00:24:51,696
That woman has more integrity
in her little finger
584
00:24:51,821 --> 00:24:53,156
than you have in your entire...
Mike, that's enough.
585
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,326
You make an accusation like that,
you better damn well have proof.
586
00:24:56,409 --> 00:24:58,286
Because if you smear
this woman's reputation
587
00:24:58,370 --> 00:25:02,082
without cause,
I will make it my life's mission to bury you.
588
00:25:02,165 --> 00:25:05,543
Then instead of coming
at me with empty threats,
589
00:25:05,627 --> 00:25:08,129
why don't you ask
your client what she did?
590
00:25:13,843 --> 00:25:16,137
What are you doing
bursting in here unannounced?
591
00:25:16,221 --> 00:25:18,265
We just came
from Smith and Devane.
592
00:25:18,348 --> 00:25:20,058
They're throwing around
some Sullivan case
593
00:25:20,141 --> 00:25:22,018
like it means something,
and you better tell us
594
00:25:22,102 --> 00:25:24,187
what they're talking about
right now, or we're gone.
595
00:25:26,773 --> 00:25:28,692
It was 12 years ago.
596
00:25:28,775 --> 00:25:30,819
I was a new judge.
597
00:25:30,902 --> 00:25:33,905
And there was a 16-year-old kid
with the worst public defender
598
00:25:33,989 --> 00:25:35,198
I've ever seen.
599
00:25:35,782 --> 00:25:38,827
It was bad enough I had to
rule in favor of this boy
600
00:25:38,910 --> 00:25:40,870
being tried as an adult,
601
00:25:41,663 --> 00:25:44,582
but when he was offered a
plea deal and this moron
602
00:25:44,666 --> 00:25:46,418
wanted to take it to trial,
603
00:25:47,043 --> 00:25:49,254
I couldn't sit by and watch.
604
00:25:49,337 --> 00:25:52,048
I don't understand.
Why not just declare a mistrial?
605
00:25:52,132 --> 00:25:55,260
Because having a shitty lawyer
isn't grounds for that.
606
00:25:55,343 --> 00:25:56,928
So instead you had
direct contact
607
00:25:57,012 --> 00:25:58,680
with the defendant?
Harvey, take it easy.
608
00:25:58,763 --> 00:26:00,140
She was just trying
to help a kid.
609
00:26:00,223 --> 00:26:02,100
I don't give a shit if
she's trying to cure cancer.
610
00:26:02,183 --> 00:26:04,144
It's illegal. She didn't
tell us about it.
611
00:26:04,227 --> 00:26:05,979
I'm not losing a client
for a judge
612
00:26:06,062 --> 00:26:08,732
who can't even tell
her own lawyers the truth.
613
00:26:08,857 --> 00:26:11,526
You want to know
what kind of judge I am?
614
00:26:12,235 --> 00:26:14,904
Anita Gibbs came to me
to wiretap your phones
615
00:26:14,988 --> 00:26:16,573
because she knew in her gut
616
00:26:16,656 --> 00:26:18,658
he was a fraud
and you were in on it.
617
00:26:18,742 --> 00:26:20,702
She had everyone
from the Attorney General
618
00:26:20,785 --> 00:26:22,787
to the Governor's office
call to make me do it,
619
00:26:22,871 --> 00:26:24,039
and I said no
620
00:26:24,122 --> 00:26:26,041
because they didn't have
probable cause.
621
00:26:26,124 --> 00:26:27,876
Are you saying I owe you?
622
00:26:27,959 --> 00:26:31,963
I'm saying I made one
mistake 12 years ago,
623
00:26:32,714 --> 00:26:34,341
and our system relies
624
00:26:34,424 --> 00:26:37,469
on having people like me
up on that bench
625
00:26:38,261 --> 00:26:41,139
so that when people like you
get in front of us,
626
00:26:41,222 --> 00:26:43,767
you don't go
straight to prison.
627
00:26:50,940 --> 00:26:52,150
Katrina, if you're here
to tell me we've got nothing,
628
00:26:52,233 --> 00:26:53,693
it's gonna have to wait
because...
629
00:26:53,777 --> 00:26:55,195
I'm not here
to tell you that, Louis.
630
00:26:55,278 --> 00:26:57,155
I'm here to tell you
we have everything.
631
00:26:57,238 --> 00:26:58,698
What?
I heard him talk
632
00:26:58,782 --> 00:27:01,659
about digital versus analog,
which got me thinking.
633
00:27:02,035 --> 00:27:04,829
Tech law has its basis
in copyright law,
634
00:27:04,913 --> 00:27:06,289
which means...
Holy shit.
635
00:27:06,373 --> 00:27:07,749
Xerox applies after all.
636
00:27:07,832 --> 00:27:09,125
Exactly.
637
00:27:09,209 --> 00:27:10,877
We got him.
638
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,337
All you have to do
is show him this,
639
00:27:12,420 --> 00:27:15,048
and he will collapse
like a premature soufflé.
640
00:27:17,384 --> 00:27:19,177
You do it.
641
00:27:19,260 --> 00:27:20,720
Louis, I can't.
Why not?
642
00:27:20,804 --> 00:27:22,222
Because the whole reason
we're doing this
643
00:27:22,305 --> 00:27:25,058
is to give you the satisfaction of
seeing that bastard humiliated.
644
00:27:25,141 --> 00:27:26,851
Katrina,
don't you understand?
645
00:27:26,935 --> 00:27:28,269
If that happens,
he's gonna say something horrible,
646
00:27:28,353 --> 00:27:30,021
then I'm gonna say
something horrible back,
647
00:27:30,105 --> 00:27:32,440
and then I'm gonna
be tempted to tell him that...
648
00:27:33,274 --> 00:27:34,984
Tell him what?
649
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:37,070
Never mind. I can handle it.
650
00:27:37,153 --> 00:27:38,780
Louis, what's going on?
651
00:27:38,863 --> 00:27:40,323
What's going on is,
I do not want to sully you
652
00:27:40,407 --> 00:27:41,825
with my sordid personal life.
653
00:27:41,908 --> 00:27:43,410
I got myself
into this mess,
654
00:27:43,493 --> 00:27:46,162
and you did everything you can
to get me out of it.
655
00:27:46,246 --> 00:27:48,873
The rest I have to do myself,
so thank you.
656
00:28:04,055 --> 00:28:05,765
Donna,
can I talk to you for a second?
657
00:28:05,849 --> 00:28:08,268
No, Rachel,
you can't because I'm too busy freaking out.
658
00:28:08,351 --> 00:28:10,061
Freaking out about what?
We had him.
659
00:28:10,145 --> 00:28:11,354
It didn't work.
660
00:28:11,438 --> 00:28:12,897
There's a clause
in our lease that says
661
00:28:12,981 --> 00:28:15,400
if we skip arbitration,
he can kick us out in 30 days, not 90.
662
00:28:15,483 --> 00:28:18,236
No, that's only if we
started the litigation.
663
00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:19,737
We didn't. He sued us.
664
00:28:19,821 --> 00:28:21,865
Not officially.
What?
665
00:28:22,157 --> 00:28:25,410
You told me that...
I didn't understand when I told you.
666
00:28:26,077 --> 00:28:27,203
Donna, you have to
tell Harvey.
667
00:28:27,287 --> 00:28:29,456
I can't.
Okay, then you have to tell Louis.
668
00:28:29,539 --> 00:28:31,583
Paula wanted Harvey
to get rid of me.
669
00:28:33,543 --> 00:28:35,295
What are you talking about?
670
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,006
I didn't tell you
the whole story.
671
00:28:38,381 --> 00:28:40,341
She wanted me gone,
and Harvey didn't want to fire me,
672
00:28:40,425 --> 00:28:42,927
so he went to Stu Buzzini
and got him to offer me a job.
673
00:28:43,011 --> 00:28:44,804
And I was gonna to take it,
but then at the last minute,
674
00:28:44,888 --> 00:28:46,347
Harvey changed his mind.
675
00:28:48,433 --> 00:28:50,310
He chose me over her.
676
00:28:51,895 --> 00:28:54,314
And it was only a few days ago,
and I can't be responsible
677
00:28:54,397 --> 00:28:58,193
for losing the only home
that this firm has ever had.
678
00:28:58,276 --> 00:29:00,153
Donna, I understand
all of that.
679
00:29:00,236 --> 00:29:02,947
But if you let
your guilt keep you
680
00:29:03,031 --> 00:29:06,701
from giving him a chance to fix
this thing before it's too late,
681
00:29:07,202 --> 00:29:09,370
he's gonna wish
you took that job.
682
00:29:10,038 --> 00:29:11,247
Okay.
683
00:29:12,832 --> 00:29:14,042
I'll tell him.
684
00:29:14,918 --> 00:29:17,337
Harvey. I've gone through the
files on the Sullivan case.
685
00:29:17,420 --> 00:29:18,963
You did what?
686
00:29:19,047 --> 00:29:20,298
Why would you do that?
687
00:29:20,381 --> 00:29:22,091
Because the panel's
in two days.
688
00:29:22,675 --> 00:29:24,844
We need to be prepared for whatever
they're gonna throw at Ralls.
689
00:29:24,928 --> 00:29:27,388
No, we don't, because I'm not risking
having to drop another client
690
00:29:27,472 --> 00:29:28,890
for someone
who lied to my face.
691
00:29:28,973 --> 00:29:30,975
I'm sorry,
were you in that room?
692
00:29:31,351 --> 00:29:33,520
If she hadn't denied that wiretap,
I wouldn't have been
693
00:29:33,603 --> 00:29:35,438
the only one in prison,
and you know that.
694
00:29:35,522 --> 00:29:37,440
Okay, why do you think she
brought that up to you, Mike?
695
00:29:37,524 --> 00:29:39,359
I don't know.
Maybe to show us why she deserves
696
00:29:39,442 --> 00:29:41,194
to be on the bench.
Bullshit.
697
00:29:41,277 --> 00:29:42,987
She did it to make you feel
like you owe her something,
698
00:29:43,071 --> 00:29:45,114
which is why she came to you
in the first place.
699
00:29:45,198 --> 00:29:46,449
It's because you're a sucker.
700
00:29:48,034 --> 00:29:49,953
Okay. Well, you know what,
Harvey?
701
00:29:50,036 --> 00:29:51,454
I'd rather be a sucker
than someone
702
00:29:51,538 --> 00:29:54,374
who refuses to sacrifice
anything for anyone else.
703
00:29:54,457 --> 00:29:56,000
What the fuck
did you just say to me?
704
00:29:56,084 --> 00:29:59,128
I said I don't give a shit
what we lose.
705
00:29:59,212 --> 00:30:01,172
This woman did us a favor,
706
00:30:01,256 --> 00:30:03,007
and I'm not gonna hang her
out to dry just because
707
00:30:03,091 --> 00:30:04,968
you don't want to sacrifice
a piece of business.
708
00:30:05,051 --> 00:30:07,428
I sacrificed more than
just business this week
709
00:30:07,512 --> 00:30:09,556
all because you couldn't
keep your mouth shut.
710
00:30:09,639 --> 00:30:12,934
Are you... Are you really making
this about Donna right now
711
00:30:13,059 --> 00:30:15,520
when we got a woman's future on the line?
Don't give me that shit.
712
00:30:15,603 --> 00:30:18,856
You made it about Donna when
you said I couldn't sacrifice.
713
00:30:18,940 --> 00:30:20,858
I sacrificed everything.
714
00:30:20,942 --> 00:30:22,652
Harvey...
Enough.
715
00:30:22,944 --> 00:30:24,612
You said you didn't want this
to be another prison case.
716
00:30:24,696 --> 00:30:26,489
Well, it is another
prison case,
717
00:30:26,573 --> 00:30:28,950
and I'm saying
we're dropping it.
718
00:30:30,994 --> 00:30:32,954
Okay, well, as long as
we're talking about sacrifice
719
00:30:33,037 --> 00:30:36,082
and prison, one of us went
to prison for the other one,
720
00:30:36,165 --> 00:30:38,293
and the woman
you're about to cut loose?
721
00:30:38,376 --> 00:30:40,169
She's the reason
that was possible.
722
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:53,850
Thanks.
723
00:30:59,522 --> 00:31:01,107
Did you come to
drop this thing in person?
724
00:31:01,190 --> 00:31:02,609
Because if you're nice,
725
00:31:02,692 --> 00:31:04,652
I might let you avoid
being humiliated in court.
726
00:31:04,736 --> 00:31:07,405
You're the one who's gonna be
humiliated if this goes to court.
727
00:31:07,488 --> 00:31:09,324
Oh, good playground
retort, Litt.
728
00:31:09,407 --> 00:31:11,618
Then again, I guess a loser
like you had a lot of practice.
729
00:31:12,076 --> 00:31:14,704
How's this
for a retort, Xander?
730
00:31:16,497 --> 00:31:19,042
We go to court,
that's what everyone's gonna see.
731
00:31:23,546 --> 00:31:25,298
What do you want?
$30 million.
732
00:31:25,381 --> 00:31:26,883
And I want it written
in the settlement
733
00:31:26,966 --> 00:31:28,092
that Louis Litt
is a superior lawyer
734
00:31:28,176 --> 00:31:29,177
to Xander Epstein.
735
00:31:29,260 --> 00:31:30,637
No way.
Yeah way.
736
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,472
You're really that petty?
You can bury it
737
00:31:32,555 --> 00:31:34,307
in the fine print
if you want.
738
00:31:35,183 --> 00:31:36,976
You can put it in Latin
if you want.
739
00:31:37,060 --> 00:31:38,478
But it's going in there,
740
00:31:38,561 --> 00:31:40,897
and you're always gonna know
it's there.
741
00:31:41,397 --> 00:31:42,732
Okay.
742
00:31:42,815 --> 00:31:45,026
If that's what it takes
to make you whole,
743
00:31:46,235 --> 00:31:48,696
then we have a deal,
but one thing.
744
00:31:49,364 --> 00:31:52,325
When I get home tonight,
remember who's waiting for me.
745
00:31:52,408 --> 00:31:55,328
And she's gonna cook me dinner,
she's gonna rub my feet,
746
00:31:55,411 --> 00:31:56,996
she's gonna tell me
she loves me,
747
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,582
and we are never
gonna think of you again.
748
00:31:59,666 --> 00:32:02,001
Well, maybe on our
50th wedding anniversary,
749
00:32:02,085 --> 00:32:05,421
we'll laugh about the guy
she almost ended up with,
750
00:32:05,505 --> 00:32:07,507
if we can even
remember your name.
751
00:32:10,510 --> 00:32:12,178
Now it's $50 million.
752
00:32:12,762 --> 00:32:14,555
And that's take it
or leave it.
753
00:32:27,402 --> 00:32:28,611
Look, whatever it is,
754
00:32:28,695 --> 00:32:30,238
I'm kind of in
the middle of something.
755
00:32:30,321 --> 00:32:31,698
Well, I hope you're
in the middle of keeping
756
00:32:31,781 --> 00:32:33,783
Ralls on the bench.
Maybe.
757
00:32:35,284 --> 00:32:37,036
Mike, I'm sorry
about last night.
758
00:32:37,620 --> 00:32:39,539
Truth is, it's been
an emotional week,
759
00:32:39,622 --> 00:32:42,166
and when you accused me
of never sacrificing...
760
00:32:42,250 --> 00:32:43,793
I shouldn't have said that.
761
00:32:44,711 --> 00:32:47,547
You've sacrificed for me
hundreds of times.
762
00:32:47,839 --> 00:32:50,091
I know that.
More like thousands.
763
00:32:52,301 --> 00:32:53,553
Now, what do you got?
764
00:32:54,345 --> 00:32:56,723
Well, I got to thinking,
765
00:32:56,806 --> 00:33:00,226
how the hell did that woman even know
about what Ralls did with Sullivan?
766
00:33:00,309 --> 00:33:02,228
I'm guessing
you've got an answer.
767
00:33:02,311 --> 00:33:04,981
Turns out that
shitty public defender...
768
00:33:05,064 --> 00:33:07,316
Smith and Devane hired him
six months ago.
769
00:33:07,692 --> 00:33:09,569
But the thing is,
six months ago,
770
00:33:09,652 --> 00:33:11,571
her docket hadn't been set
that far in the future.
771
00:33:11,654 --> 00:33:15,408
Which means this whole thing was a
setup for a case that already happened.
772
00:33:15,491 --> 00:33:17,744
Think about it.
She gets thrown off the bench,
773
00:33:17,827 --> 00:33:20,037
every one of her rulings
for the last seven years
774
00:33:20,121 --> 00:33:21,622
is automatically
subject to appeal.
775
00:33:21,706 --> 00:33:23,750
Mike, this is great.
We got 'em.
776
00:33:23,833 --> 00:33:27,420
The only problem is,
I can't figure out which case
777
00:33:27,503 --> 00:33:30,423
because Smith and Devane didn't
represent anyone she ruled against.
778
00:33:30,506 --> 00:33:32,675
Well, what kind of cases did
she hear during that period?
779
00:33:32,759 --> 00:33:34,677
Mostly federal antitrust.
780
00:33:36,095 --> 00:33:38,181
Then I know who can help us.
781
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,773
Sheila.
782
00:33:47,190 --> 00:33:48,608
What are you doing here?
783
00:33:48,691 --> 00:33:51,861
I talked to Xander earlier, and he told
me you two had a settlement meeting.
784
00:33:52,361 --> 00:33:53,529
Is that what he said?
785
00:33:53,905 --> 00:33:56,616
I would describe it as more
of a beatdown, but whatever.
786
00:33:57,950 --> 00:34:00,369
Thank you, Louis.
Why are you thanking me?
787
00:34:01,579 --> 00:34:04,207
For not telling him about us.
Never crossed my mind.
788
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,958
You asked me not to,
so I didn't.
789
00:34:06,042 --> 00:34:08,669
And now I have to ask you
for one more thing.
790
00:34:10,296 --> 00:34:11,589
Please let this case go.
791
00:34:11,881 --> 00:34:14,425
What?
Give him a way to save face,
792
00:34:14,509 --> 00:34:16,177
and let this thing go.
793
00:34:16,260 --> 00:34:18,054
I gave him a way.
It's called a settlement.
794
00:34:18,137 --> 00:34:21,224
No, you jacked up the settlement
and added in some nonsense
795
00:34:21,307 --> 00:34:22,642
about admitting
you're the better man.
796
00:34:22,725 --> 00:34:24,644
I am the better man.
797
00:34:24,727 --> 00:34:27,313
Then prove it by being
the bigger man.
798
00:34:27,396 --> 00:34:28,648
Sheila...
Louis,
799
00:34:28,731 --> 00:34:30,650
I'm getting married
in a few days,
800
00:34:30,733 --> 00:34:33,361
and all my fiancé
can think about is you.
801
00:34:33,736 --> 00:34:35,112
You won.
802
00:34:35,947 --> 00:34:38,533
You beat him,
and he knows it.
803
00:34:39,283 --> 00:34:41,035
Please do this for me.
804
00:34:41,619 --> 00:34:43,079
Because if you don't,
805
00:34:43,621 --> 00:34:46,374
you might as well have just told
him about us in the first place.
806
00:34:58,761 --> 00:35:00,388
Rachel, we need to talk.
807
00:35:00,471 --> 00:35:02,974
What did Harvey say?
I didn't go to Harvey.
808
00:35:03,057 --> 00:35:04,517
Donna, why not?
809
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,644
Because he was busy
with something else,
810
00:35:06,727 --> 00:35:10,314
and I remembered one of the reasons
he promoted me in the first place.
811
00:35:10,898 --> 00:35:12,358
I don't understand.
812
00:35:12,441 --> 00:35:14,068
Rachel, I know people.
813
00:35:14,277 --> 00:35:15,862
I know what makes them tick,
and I need you to pull
814
00:35:15,945 --> 00:35:17,864
another all-nighter and
help me make that asshole
815
00:35:17,947 --> 00:35:19,532
back the hell off.
816
00:35:20,658 --> 00:35:21,951
Okay.
817
00:35:25,621 --> 00:35:27,248
Louis, is this a bad time?
818
00:35:27,331 --> 00:35:28,749
What?
819
00:35:28,833 --> 00:35:30,501
No. What's going on?
820
00:35:30,585 --> 00:35:32,628
Smith and Devane's
trying to get rid of a judge
821
00:35:32,712 --> 00:35:34,964
to overturn a past ruling.
822
00:35:35,047 --> 00:35:37,383
Mike and I are trying to figure
out which case is big enough
823
00:35:37,466 --> 00:35:39,010
to be worth the risk.
824
00:35:39,886 --> 00:35:41,721
Glazer Bank
v. Risa Ventures.
825
00:35:41,804 --> 00:35:43,347
You didn't even
look at the rest of the list.
826
00:35:43,431 --> 00:35:44,891
Oh, I didn't need to.
827
00:35:44,974 --> 00:35:46,726
Smith and Devane represent
Pomaville Industries.
828
00:35:46,809 --> 00:35:48,728
They've been wanting to merge
with Condor for two years.
829
00:35:48,811 --> 00:35:50,646
You overturn that precedent...
Every dickhead on Wall Street
830
00:35:50,730 --> 00:35:52,607
would be swinging
from the chandeliers.
831
00:35:52,690 --> 00:35:53,816
Clear as day.
832
00:35:55,318 --> 00:35:57,320
You really are a maestro
with this stuff, aren't you?
833
00:35:57,403 --> 00:35:58,696
Thanks, Harvey.
834
00:35:59,864 --> 00:36:01,365
Night, Louis.
835
00:36:03,367 --> 00:36:04,785
Harvey, uh, wait.
836
00:36:05,661 --> 00:36:06,996
I, uh...
837
00:36:07,288 --> 00:36:09,916
I could really use your
advice on something personal.
838
00:36:09,999 --> 00:36:13,294
But I know how you feel
about infidelity, and...
839
00:36:13,961 --> 00:36:17,423
Louis, my feelings about that
have to do with me and me alone.
840
00:36:17,506 --> 00:36:19,258
I'm not gonna judge you
for making a different choice
841
00:36:19,342 --> 00:36:20,801
than I would.
I appreciate that.
842
00:36:23,721 --> 00:36:25,598
Because I had an affair
with Sheila.
843
00:36:26,349 --> 00:36:28,309
Somehow things
got out of control,
844
00:36:28,392 --> 00:36:31,437
and found myself in a fight
with her fiancé.
845
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,397
I went after his client,
846
00:36:33,481 --> 00:36:35,483
and I was about to
put him away.
847
00:36:37,485 --> 00:36:39,528
And now Sheila wants me
to tank it.
848
00:36:39,862 --> 00:36:42,573
Well, if you're asking
as managing partner,
849
00:36:42,657 --> 00:36:45,910
I'd say you better not tank a case
for a woman you're sleeping with.
850
00:36:45,993 --> 00:36:48,037
I'm not asking you as managing partner,
Harvey.
851
00:36:49,872 --> 00:36:51,540
I'm asking you as my friend.
852
00:36:52,541 --> 00:36:55,044
Then, my friend,
853
00:36:56,420 --> 00:36:59,507
I say sometimes we have
to sacrifice our business
854
00:36:59,590 --> 00:37:01,133
for the people we care about.
855
00:37:05,930 --> 00:37:07,682
Thanks for this.
856
00:37:17,566 --> 00:37:20,486
Let me guess.
You got here early to inform the panel
857
00:37:20,569 --> 00:37:22,321
you're removing yourselves
from the case.
858
00:37:22,405 --> 00:37:24,991
No, we got here early
to inform you that you are.
859
00:37:25,074 --> 00:37:26,617
And once again,
why would I do that?
860
00:37:26,701 --> 00:37:28,577
Because you hired
a shitty defense attorney
861
00:37:28,661 --> 00:37:31,497
for the sole purpose of getting
dirt on an outstanding judge.
862
00:37:31,580 --> 00:37:33,374
Hiring a shitty lawyer
isn't against the law.
863
00:37:33,457 --> 00:37:36,627
No, but doing it so you can
set up a merger factory is.
864
00:37:36,711 --> 00:37:39,463
That's a great theory,
but you have no proof.
865
00:37:39,547 --> 00:37:41,424
Yes, we do. Right here.
866
00:37:41,507 --> 00:37:43,509
You signed all six of these
companies within the last year.
867
00:37:43,592 --> 00:37:46,721
And we've got signed affidavits from
each one of them saying that you
868
00:37:46,804 --> 00:37:49,682
approached them with an offer
to get their mergers through
869
00:37:49,765 --> 00:37:51,017
if they signed with you
in advance.
870
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:52,768
Wasn't hard
once they realized
871
00:37:52,852 --> 00:37:54,854
this could rise to the level
of a criminal offense.
872
00:37:54,937 --> 00:37:57,356
And conspiracy
to alter judicial rulings
873
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,859
is most definitely
a criminal offense.
874
00:37:59,942 --> 00:38:03,696
Which means if you don't
drop this thing right now,
875
00:38:03,779 --> 00:38:04,989
you'll end up in prison.
876
00:38:05,072 --> 00:38:06,490
It's up to you.
877
00:38:06,574 --> 00:38:07,950
They're gonna be here
in five minutes.
878
00:38:15,499 --> 00:38:17,918
Louis,
what the hell is this?
879
00:38:18,377 --> 00:38:19,462
What does it look like?
880
00:38:19,545 --> 00:38:21,380
It looks like you let
this guy off the hook
881
00:38:21,505 --> 00:38:23,841
when you had him by the throat.
It's a fair deal, Katrina.
882
00:38:24,341 --> 00:38:25,468
Our client's
gonna be thrilled
883
00:38:25,551 --> 00:38:26,552
that they get paid
for an issue
884
00:38:26,635 --> 00:38:28,387
that they never even knew
existed in the first place.
885
00:38:28,471 --> 00:38:29,930
We didn't take this on
for the client.
886
00:38:30,014 --> 00:38:32,475
We did this for you.
Well, then do this for me.
887
00:38:32,558 --> 00:38:34,477
Louis.
God damn it, just do it!
888
00:38:36,020 --> 00:38:37,021
Oh.
889
00:38:39,023 --> 00:38:41,442
She asked you to do this,
didn't she?
890
00:38:41,525 --> 00:38:43,486
I can't say no to her,
Katrina.
891
00:38:45,613 --> 00:38:46,781
I just can't.
892
00:38:46,864 --> 00:38:48,699
You're a good man,
Louis Litt.
893
00:38:50,951 --> 00:38:54,497
And someday you will find
someone who appreciates that.
894
00:39:11,097 --> 00:39:12,598
I see you've brought along
a friend this time.
895
00:39:12,681 --> 00:39:14,100
Oh, she's not
just my friend.
896
00:39:14,183 --> 00:39:15,810
She's my lawyer.
Hmm. Let me guess.
897
00:39:15,893 --> 00:39:17,478
You brought her along
to withdraw your suit
898
00:39:17,561 --> 00:39:20,106
'cause you've finally figured out there's
no way to outsmart a man like me.
899
00:39:20,189 --> 00:39:23,109
No, she finally figured out
what makes a man like you tick.
900
00:39:23,192 --> 00:39:24,985
And what makes you tick
is being able to say
901
00:39:25,069 --> 00:39:26,987
to every woman you meet that
you own the best buildings
902
00:39:27,071 --> 00:39:29,031
in the cities
with the best views.
903
00:39:29,115 --> 00:39:30,950
Mmm. Because
if you can't say that,
904
00:39:31,033 --> 00:39:32,993
then people might notice
that you're really just
905
00:39:33,077 --> 00:39:34,829
an insecure little man
who builds buildings
906
00:39:34,912 --> 00:39:37,540
to cover up
his weaknesses.
907
00:39:38,749 --> 00:39:39,875
Get out of my office.
908
00:39:39,959 --> 00:39:41,752
Oh, we will, but if we do,
909
00:39:41,836 --> 00:39:43,546
those views that you covet,
they're going away.
910
00:39:43,629 --> 00:39:45,464
What are you talking about?
Oh, did you think
911
00:39:45,548 --> 00:39:47,174
I just came here to tell you
I know what makes you tick?
912
00:39:47,258 --> 00:39:48,968
We now control
the air rights
913
00:39:49,051 --> 00:39:51,762
across from six of your
most prominent properties.
914
00:39:51,846 --> 00:39:55,099
So instead of their
unobstructed views of the park,
915
00:39:55,182 --> 00:39:57,601
your top-floor tenants
will now be looking out
916
00:39:57,685 --> 00:40:00,563
at a 40-foot-high
box of tampons.
917
00:40:00,646 --> 00:40:01,939
What do you want?
918
00:40:02,022 --> 00:40:03,858
I think you know
what we want.
919
00:40:03,941 --> 00:40:06,569
- You keep your lease as is.
- Not quite.
920
00:40:06,652 --> 00:40:08,988
We're gonna need you to reimburse
the cost of the air rights.
921
00:40:09,071 --> 00:40:10,990
And we'll take a 10% haircut
on our lease.
922
00:40:11,073 --> 00:40:12,616
I'd call you a name right now,
but I'm guessing
923
00:40:12,741 --> 00:40:13,784
you'd sue me.
- David, I really don't care
924
00:40:13,868 --> 00:40:15,244
what you call me right now
925
00:40:15,327 --> 00:40:16,996
because, like you said,
this isn't personal.
926
00:40:17,079 --> 00:40:18,164
It's just business.
927
00:40:20,082 --> 00:40:21,750
Here's our amended lease.
928
00:40:34,263 --> 00:40:36,182
Hey, how's it going?
929
00:40:36,265 --> 00:40:39,560
I just stopped by to tell
you that Judge Ralls called.
930
00:40:40,019 --> 00:40:42,021
She wanted to thank me.
That's great.
931
00:40:42,104 --> 00:40:45,232
Only problem with that is,
she called me five minutes ago
932
00:40:45,316 --> 00:40:47,735
and told me
the exact same thing.
933
00:40:49,778 --> 00:40:52,114
Want to tell me
what you're really doing here?
934
00:40:52,323 --> 00:40:54,241
Why'd you say
that stuff to Donna?
935
00:40:55,034 --> 00:40:56,702
Because I care about her.
936
00:40:58,287 --> 00:41:00,122
I didn't want her to go
through life not knowing.
937
00:41:01,957 --> 00:41:04,043
What about me?
What about you?
938
00:41:04,126 --> 00:41:06,253
Did you think what it would
do to my relationship?
939
00:41:06,337 --> 00:41:08,505
I guess I thought that if you
were that solid with Paula,
940
00:41:08,589 --> 00:41:09,590
it wouldn't matter.
941
00:41:09,673 --> 00:41:12,593
What if I went to Logan Sanders and
told him to go for it with Rachel?
942
00:41:14,303 --> 00:41:15,804
Here's the difference.
943
00:41:16,388 --> 00:41:18,265
I would hope that you wouldn't
be rooting for Rachel
944
00:41:18,349 --> 00:41:21,644
to be with him,
and you can get mad at me or not, but...
945
00:41:22,311 --> 00:41:25,481
Yeah, I guess maybe I was rooting
for Donna to be with you.
946
00:41:27,816 --> 00:41:29,235
Fair enough.
947
00:41:29,318 --> 00:41:32,696
I guess the truth is, right now,
I'm not looking to be with anyone.
948
00:41:41,163 --> 00:41:42,623
Donna, are you busy?
949
00:41:42,706 --> 00:41:45,000
I was actually just getting
ready to go home for the night.
950
00:41:46,252 --> 00:41:48,462
I was just wondering
if there's a reason why
951
00:41:48,545 --> 00:41:49,964
I just got a new lease
on my desk
952
00:41:50,047 --> 00:41:52,049
that's 10% less
than our last one.
953
00:41:53,217 --> 00:41:55,803
I just wanted to thank you
for keeping me.
954
00:41:57,888 --> 00:41:59,848
What?
If I knew it'd make you
955
00:41:59,932 --> 00:42:01,100
do stuff like that,
956
00:42:01,183 --> 00:42:02,977
I'd consider firing you
more often.
957
00:42:03,060 --> 00:42:05,688
Well, then let's just consider
this a one-time thing.
958
00:42:09,650 --> 00:42:11,527
Before you go,
959
00:42:11,902 --> 00:42:13,612
want me to pour us a drink?
960
00:42:13,696 --> 00:42:16,782
What do you say we shake
things up and make it two?
961
00:42:43,017 --> 00:42:44,977
Sheila, what are you
doing here?
962
00:42:45,060 --> 00:42:46,812
I left Xander.
963
00:42:48,772 --> 00:42:49,940
What?
964
00:42:50,190 --> 00:42:52,359
I realized he's not
the one for me.
965
00:42:53,319 --> 00:42:55,654
But I thought you loved him.
I don't.
966
00:42:55,738 --> 00:42:57,406
I love you.
967
00:42:58,407 --> 00:43:00,617
And I may have
forgotten it for a while.
968
00:43:00,868 --> 00:43:04,830
But in these last two weeks,
you've excited me,
969
00:43:04,913 --> 00:43:07,041
you've gone
to battle for me,
970
00:43:07,124 --> 00:43:09,376
and then
you sacrificed for me.
971
00:43:09,460 --> 00:43:11,253
But what about children?
972
00:43:12,254 --> 00:43:13,839
You think I can't
live without children...
973
00:43:13,922 --> 00:43:15,924
No, I didn't,
but then I thought,
974
00:43:16,300 --> 00:43:17,885
fate brought us
together, Louis.
975
00:43:17,968 --> 00:43:22,181
Why don't we let fate decide
whether or not we have children?
976
00:43:22,264 --> 00:43:24,183
I don't understand.
Louis,
977
00:43:24,266 --> 00:43:26,393
I threw away my diaphragm.
978
00:43:31,106 --> 00:43:32,232
You're pulling the goalie?
979
00:43:32,316 --> 00:43:34,568
Yes, Louis. I am.
980
00:43:36,528 --> 00:43:38,447
And I don't want to
role-play tonight.
981
00:43:38,530 --> 00:43:42,785
I just want to be Sheila
Sazs and Louis Litt.
982
00:43:47,915 --> 00:43:49,375
Well, come on.
983
00:43:52,127 --> 00:43:53,462
Let's go inside.
