1
00:00:02,452 --> 00:00:05,955
I can't afford Zane's buy-in.
- I pay you out of my own pocket
2
00:00:06,039 --> 00:00:08,583
and the partners find out,
it will cost me millions.
3
00:00:08,667 --> 00:00:10,502
Jessica, I need this.
4
00:00:10,585 --> 00:00:12,295
I'm actually
loaning you this money,
5
00:00:12,379 --> 00:00:13,588
and you're gonna
loan it to him,
6
00:00:13,672 --> 00:00:16,257
and if nobody
ever repays anybody,
7
00:00:16,341 --> 00:00:18,802
nobody's gonna give a shit.
Thank you.
8
00:00:18,885 --> 00:00:20,679
Harvey, it's time to take
my name off the wall.
9
00:00:20,762 --> 00:00:22,472
And what if I say
I accept it?
10
00:00:22,555 --> 00:00:23,932
Then you've got two things
to figure out.
11
00:00:24,015 --> 00:00:25,767
How much are you gonna spend
to buy me out,
12
00:00:25,850 --> 00:00:27,394
and how're you gonna
spin this thing?
13
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:29,938
The second we cut her a check,
we don't have a leg to stand on in court.
14
00:00:30,021 --> 00:00:31,272
It's a one-way ticket
to bankruptcy.
15
00:00:31,356 --> 00:00:34,776
Well, I'm not letting that son of a bitch
back into the house Jessica took from him.
16
00:00:34,859 --> 00:00:36,903
Wait a second. Stanley Gordon
doesn't need money,
17
00:00:36,986 --> 00:00:38,822
he just wants the world to know
that Jessica's name's dog shit.
18
00:00:38,988 --> 00:00:40,532
If we put out
a public statement
19
00:00:40,615 --> 00:00:41,783
that throws Jessica
under the bus...
20
00:00:41,866 --> 00:00:43,034
No way.
We do this,
21
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,578
Jessica gets paid,
we are free and clear.
22
00:00:45,662 --> 00:00:47,706
I was just wondering
if there's a reason why
23
00:00:47,789 --> 00:00:49,416
I just got a new lease
on my desk
24
00:00:49,499 --> 00:00:50,709
that's 10% less
than our last one.
25
00:00:50,792 --> 00:00:52,544
I just wanted to thank you
for keeping me.
26
00:00:52,627 --> 00:00:53,670
Before you go,
27
00:00:53,753 --> 00:00:55,547
do you want me
to pour us a drink?
28
00:00:55,630 --> 00:00:58,883
What do you say we shake
things up and make it two?
29
00:01:13,732 --> 00:01:15,900
Nathan, what are you
doing here?
30
00:01:16,443 --> 00:01:19,195
Can I come in?
Yeah, of course.
31
00:01:19,487 --> 00:01:21,823
Thanks.
Can I get you a coffee or something?
32
00:01:21,906 --> 00:01:25,285
No, I'm good.
What's going on?
33
00:01:26,619 --> 00:01:29,080
Well, I don't know
how to say this,
34
00:01:29,164 --> 00:01:31,082
so I'm just going to say it.
35
00:01:31,166 --> 00:01:34,377
I got into a case.
It started getting to me,
36
00:01:34,461 --> 00:01:38,381
and the next thing I knew,
it turned into a class action.
37
00:01:39,007 --> 00:01:41,593
Nathan, you don't have the resources
to take on a class action.
38
00:01:41,676 --> 00:01:42,844
That didn't stop you
from taking on
39
00:01:42,927 --> 00:01:44,804
those miners last year.
No, it didn't.
40
00:01:44,888 --> 00:01:47,932
But I ended up needing to go
to Pearson Specter for help.
41
00:01:48,308 --> 00:01:49,768
Why do you think
I'm here now?
42
00:01:50,685 --> 00:01:52,687
You want me to ask my firm
to help you?
43
00:01:52,771 --> 00:01:55,690
I want your firm to make
an investment in the clinic.
44
00:01:55,774 --> 00:01:57,525
Nathan, that's never
going to happen.
45
00:01:57,609 --> 00:01:59,110
Well, I need
some kind of help.
46
00:01:59,486 --> 00:02:00,570
Because there are
a bunch of children
47
00:02:00,653 --> 00:02:01,821
who are never going
to live normal lives,
48
00:02:01,905 --> 00:02:03,114
and if I don't
think of something,
49
00:02:03,198 --> 00:02:05,450
I'm going to have to choose between them,
and keeping the clinic in business.
50
00:02:05,617 --> 00:02:08,161
Wait, wait, wait, what do you mean
they're never going to have normal lives?
51
00:02:08,828 --> 00:02:10,455
There's a school
in upstate New York.
52
00:02:10,622 --> 00:02:12,540
About 10 years ago,
Discharge Power started making
53
00:02:12,624 --> 00:02:14,292
batteries
a thousand yards away.
54
00:02:14,459 --> 00:02:16,586
Those kids started
getting lead poisoning.
55
00:02:17,504 --> 00:02:20,465
And they say it's not
from the plant, but it is.
56
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,510
All right, I have an idea.
57
00:02:24,594 --> 00:02:25,720
But it's not giving you money,
58
00:02:25,804 --> 00:02:27,806
and it's not giving you
our associates.
59
00:02:31,810 --> 00:02:33,561
I know we drank
a few last night,
60
00:02:33,645 --> 00:02:36,356
but I'm pretty sure
you're in the wrong office.
61
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:38,316
I was going to replace
the bottle we finished,
62
00:02:38,399 --> 00:02:40,360
but I can find it
another home.
63
00:02:40,443 --> 00:02:42,403
What's that they say
about great minds?
64
00:02:44,989 --> 00:02:47,033
Seriously, Donna,
it was nice just to hang out,
65
00:02:47,116 --> 00:02:49,160
and enjoy
each other's company.
66
00:02:49,494 --> 00:02:50,870
It sure was.
67
00:02:52,205 --> 00:02:55,667
So, things between us are...
68
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:57,210
Back to normal?
69
00:02:57,669 --> 00:02:59,504
If they are for you,
they are for me.
70
00:02:59,671 --> 00:03:00,713
Good.
71
00:03:02,674 --> 00:03:05,593
I hope you two didn't break
out the scotch on my behalf.
72
00:03:05,927 --> 00:03:08,263
I don't imbibe this early
unless I'm on vacation.
73
00:03:08,346 --> 00:03:10,098
I know
you're getting old, Stanley,
74
00:03:10,181 --> 00:03:11,391
but you're on
permanent vacation.
75
00:03:11,474 --> 00:03:12,767
Well, I hate
to break it to you,
76
00:03:12,851 --> 00:03:14,352
but I'm stepping back
into the ring.
77
00:03:14,477 --> 00:03:16,062
That doesn't look like
a Christmas present.
78
00:03:16,145 --> 00:03:17,939
It's a lawsuit on behalf
of your former partners
79
00:03:18,022 --> 00:03:21,025
for damages incurred by the
criminal actions of this firm.
80
00:03:21,442 --> 00:03:23,194
What the hell
are you talking about?
81
00:03:23,278 --> 00:03:24,779
Every single partner
who left this firm
82
00:03:24,863 --> 00:03:27,115
after Mike Ross went to jail
is damaged goods.
83
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,075
Bullshit.
It's not bullshit.
84
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,451
And in case
it hasn't occurred to you,
85
00:03:30,535 --> 00:03:32,453
once you put that statement out
about Jessica's disbarment,
86
00:03:32,537 --> 00:03:33,746
you made my case for me.
87
00:03:33,872 --> 00:03:37,083
Son of a... We issued
that statement to appease you.
88
00:03:37,166 --> 00:03:39,794
Hey, it wasn't my idea to throw
your mommy under the bus.
89
00:03:39,878 --> 00:03:41,129
It was your partner's.
90
00:03:41,212 --> 00:03:43,673
All I did was take advantage
of an opportunity.
91
00:03:43,756 --> 00:03:47,343
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a trial to prepare for.
92
00:03:56,394 --> 00:03:57,437
Harvey, we have a problem.
93
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,314
Well, whatever it is,
it's going to have to wait.
94
00:03:59,397 --> 00:04:01,399
Because I just got a visit
from Stanley Gordon.
95
00:04:01,482 --> 00:04:03,276
Me too, he's suing us.
And what exactly are you
96
00:04:03,359 --> 00:04:04,485
planning to do about it?
97
00:04:04,569 --> 00:04:06,237
Because this whole thing
is your fault.
98
00:04:06,321 --> 00:04:07,864
My fault?
How is it my fault?
99
00:04:07,947 --> 00:04:09,824
You were the one who came up
with that idea to release
100
00:04:09,908 --> 00:04:11,910
that statement condemning
Jessica in the first place.
101
00:04:11,993 --> 00:04:14,621
Harvey, I am not the enemy here.
Stanley Gordon is.
102
00:04:14,704 --> 00:04:16,998
And I don't care how he twisted it.
It was a good idea.
103
00:04:17,081 --> 00:04:18,666
Well, we need
another good idea.
104
00:04:18,750 --> 00:04:20,668
Because he's suing
for the exact amount
105
00:04:20,752 --> 00:04:23,087
of their original buy-ins.
Wait a second.
106
00:04:23,838 --> 00:04:25,256
This is about their buy-ins.
107
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:27,175
Of course
it's about their buy-ins.
108
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:29,052
What difference does that make?
If we can prove
109
00:04:29,135 --> 00:04:31,220
that this is just a back door
way of getting that money back,
110
00:04:31,304 --> 00:04:34,599
we can get this thing dismissed
before it ever gets off the ground.
111
00:04:34,682 --> 00:04:35,892
All right.
112
00:04:35,975 --> 00:04:37,936
You get to work
on drafting a motion,
113
00:04:38,019 --> 00:04:39,896
I'm going to try
and get us some proof.
114
00:04:41,022 --> 00:04:43,107
Harvey, you think we should
let Jessica know?
115
00:04:43,524 --> 00:04:44,901
No, Louis, I don't.
116
00:04:44,984 --> 00:04:46,778
Because I'm not about
to tell Jessica
117
00:04:46,861 --> 00:04:49,614
that we issued a statement
condemning her for nothing.
118
00:04:53,618 --> 00:04:57,497
See the money,
wanna stay for your meal
119
00:04:57,580 --> 00:05:00,750
Get another piece of pie
for your wife
120
00:05:00,833 --> 00:05:03,836
Everybody wanna know
how it feel
121
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,632
Everybody wanna see
what it's like
122
00:05:07,715 --> 00:05:10,551
I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind
123
00:05:10,635 --> 00:05:12,637
Me and missy is so early
124
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,472
Busy, busy making money
125
00:05:14,597 --> 00:05:16,391
All right!
126
00:05:16,474 --> 00:05:20,812
All step back,
I'm 'bout to dance
127
00:05:21,938 --> 00:05:23,439
The greenback boogie
128
00:05:26,818 --> 00:05:28,361
Donna, have you seen Harvey?
129
00:05:28,569 --> 00:05:31,656
He's out, Mike.
And he's going to be out for a while.
130
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:33,950
What happened?
We got hit with a lawsuit
131
00:05:34,033 --> 00:05:35,034
from Stanley Gordon.
132
00:05:35,910 --> 00:05:37,578
The partners are coming
after their money,
133
00:05:37,662 --> 00:05:39,372
and they hired him to do it.
Shit.
134
00:05:39,497 --> 00:05:41,124
If we lose that...
I know.
135
00:05:41,207 --> 00:05:43,710
But it's Harvey and Louis, so
we don't need to go there yet.
136
00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:47,588
Is there something
I can help you with?
137
00:05:47,672 --> 00:05:49,924
Donna,
the clinic's in trouble.
138
00:05:50,008 --> 00:05:52,719
Nathan came to me this morning
about asking Harvey for money,
139
00:05:52,802 --> 00:05:54,429
and...
Mike, there's no way.
140
00:05:54,512 --> 00:05:55,847
I know, and that's what
I told Nathan.
141
00:05:55,930 --> 00:05:56,931
Then what do you need?
142
00:05:57,015 --> 00:05:58,182
I need to pour
everything I have
143
00:05:58,266 --> 00:06:00,143
into one of his cases
until we win.
144
00:06:00,268 --> 00:06:03,104
And I know Harvey and I had our
share of problems this year,
145
00:06:03,187 --> 00:06:04,772
and I don't want
to add to them.
146
00:06:04,856 --> 00:06:07,859
Well, if you're asking
for my blessing, you have it.
147
00:06:09,027 --> 00:06:10,319
Thanks, Donna.
148
00:06:11,404 --> 00:06:13,072
Mike?
Yeah?
149
00:06:13,364 --> 00:06:14,741
What's the case?
150
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:16,492
Kids with lead poisoning.
151
00:06:18,244 --> 00:06:19,620
Go get 'em.
152
00:06:28,212 --> 00:06:29,589
I was wondering
when you'd find me.
153
00:06:29,672 --> 00:06:31,090
What the hell is your name
doing on that suit?
154
00:06:31,174 --> 00:06:33,134
Harvey...
Because we both know
155
00:06:33,217 --> 00:06:34,260
Jessica made you whole.
156
00:06:34,343 --> 00:06:36,971
Which means you got no business
stabbing us in the back.
157
00:06:37,055 --> 00:06:38,556
I'm not stabbing
anyone, Harvey.
158
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:40,850
Not only are you shoving
the knife in,
159
00:06:40,933 --> 00:06:43,019
you're getting paid twice
in the process.
160
00:06:43,102 --> 00:06:44,645
Think it through, Harvey.
161
00:06:45,396 --> 00:06:47,106
You know Jessica
gave me the buy-in.
162
00:06:47,190 --> 00:06:49,025
None of them do.
163
00:06:49,108 --> 00:06:50,985
I refuse to sign on
to this thing,
164
00:06:51,069 --> 00:06:53,112
every one of them
figures out what happened,
165
00:06:53,196 --> 00:06:55,448
and it opens the floodgates
to them coming after
166
00:06:55,531 --> 00:06:56,949
their money legitimately,
167
00:06:57,033 --> 00:06:58,367
instead of through
the back door.
168
00:06:58,451 --> 00:07:00,161
So you're saying
I should thank you?
169
00:07:00,244 --> 00:07:02,288
I guess I am.
Not that you ever would.
170
00:07:02,371 --> 00:07:05,833
I'll thank you when you get those
clowns to back the hell off this claim.
171
00:07:06,084 --> 00:07:07,960
I can't do that.
Sure you can.
172
00:07:08,044 --> 00:07:09,462
You've always been
the ringleader.
173
00:07:09,545 --> 00:07:11,464
You give them some line
about this opening them up
174
00:07:11,547 --> 00:07:13,966
to countersuits
for breach of contract.
175
00:07:14,050 --> 00:07:15,760
They'll drop this
before the sun comes up.
176
00:07:15,927 --> 00:07:18,971
They're not idiots.
I try a stunt like that,
177
00:07:19,055 --> 00:07:21,808
I might as well have refused
to sign on in the first place.
178
00:07:21,933 --> 00:07:24,268
Jack, listen to me.
179
00:07:25,853 --> 00:07:27,105
This could put us under.
180
00:07:28,397 --> 00:07:30,066
Look, I'm no fan
of Stanley Gordon,
181
00:07:30,149 --> 00:07:32,902
so if there's a way that I can
help that doesn't screw me,
182
00:07:32,985 --> 00:07:33,986
I will.
183
00:07:34,403 --> 00:07:36,280
But you did this,
184
00:07:36,364 --> 00:07:39,242
when you issued that statement
about Jessica.
185
00:07:39,325 --> 00:07:40,868
Now, if you'll excuse me,
186
00:07:40,952 --> 00:07:43,287
I'm not looking to be seen
talking to you.
187
00:07:48,084 --> 00:07:50,878
Hey, Mike.
What are you doing here?
188
00:07:50,962 --> 00:07:52,922
I just came to tell the king
of class action here
189
00:07:53,005 --> 00:07:54,215
that I'm in.
190
00:07:54,298 --> 00:07:56,050
You got me
for as long as you need me.
191
00:07:56,134 --> 00:07:57,552
Mike, that's great. Thank you.
192
00:07:57,635 --> 00:07:59,095
Wait a second,
you're telling me you brought
193
00:07:59,178 --> 00:08:00,805
this jerkoff onto our case?
Excuse me.
194
00:08:00,888 --> 00:08:02,682
Mr. Jerkoff, please.
Oh, yeah?
195
00:08:02,765 --> 00:08:05,017
How about Johnnie Dickface?
How about Jonathan Dickface?
196
00:08:05,101 --> 00:08:06,686
Okay, are you two finished?
Because we actually
197
00:08:06,769 --> 00:08:08,104
have a case to prepare for.
198
00:08:08,187 --> 00:08:09,313
And they just filed
a motion to dismiss
199
00:08:09,438 --> 00:08:11,232
based on insufficient
class certification.
200
00:08:11,315 --> 00:08:12,483
What?
201
00:08:12,567 --> 00:08:14,026
I filled out
that paperwork myself,
202
00:08:14,110 --> 00:08:16,195
and you filed it yesterday.
No, you filed it.
203
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:18,030
Because you said you were going
to take care of it yourself.
204
00:08:18,156 --> 00:08:20,116
And then you said you were
going down to the court.
205
00:08:20,283 --> 00:08:21,284
Shit.
206
00:08:22,493 --> 00:08:24,370
- I got caught up.
- Goddamn it, Nathan.
207
00:08:24,453 --> 00:08:25,955
This ruins three months'
worth of work.
208
00:08:26,038 --> 00:08:27,415
You think I don't know that?
I don't care whether
209
00:08:27,498 --> 00:08:28,624
you know it or not,
it was your idea to...
210
00:08:28,708 --> 00:08:29,917
All right, all right,
that's enough.
211
00:08:30,001 --> 00:08:32,336
Guys, pointing fingers isn't
going to get us anywhere.
212
00:08:32,837 --> 00:08:33,838
Mike's right.
213
00:08:34,088 --> 00:08:35,506
The question is,
what are we going to do?
214
00:08:36,340 --> 00:08:39,051
We're going to do what you do
when the law isn't on your side.
215
00:08:39,802 --> 00:08:41,387
We're going to tell the truth,
and hope to hell
216
00:08:41,470 --> 00:08:42,722
the judge sees it our way.
217
00:08:45,016 --> 00:08:46,809
Your Honor,
the law is clear on this.
218
00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:48,811
They missed the deadline,
and you are obligated
219
00:08:48,895 --> 00:08:50,563
to dismiss this case.
He's right, Your Honor.
220
00:08:50,646 --> 00:08:53,232
I missed the deadline,
but there are 150 children
221
00:08:53,316 --> 00:08:54,692
with elevated levels
of lead in their blood
222
00:08:54,775 --> 00:08:56,819
that shouldn't have to suffer
because I made a mistake.
223
00:08:56,903 --> 00:08:58,029
Well, that is
a wonderful story,
224
00:08:58,112 --> 00:09:00,281
but the truth is, he doesn't
care about these children
225
00:09:00,364 --> 00:09:01,449
because this is a cash grab,
226
00:09:01,574 --> 00:09:03,576
plain and simple.
Cash grab?
227
00:09:04,076 --> 00:09:05,953
Our fees
are capped at $50,000.
228
00:09:06,037 --> 00:09:08,789
$50,000 keeps your clinic running
for a hell of a long time,
229
00:09:08,873 --> 00:09:11,626
and I still haven't heard one piece
of evidence that we even knew
230
00:09:11,709 --> 00:09:13,961
about these lead levels.
Your Honor, if I may,
231
00:09:14,045 --> 00:09:16,130
I have some evidence I'd like
to share with the court.
232
00:09:16,214 --> 00:09:18,174
And you are?
Mike Ross, Specter Litt,
233
00:09:18,257 --> 00:09:20,134
Your Honor, and I think
it might interest the court
234
00:09:20,218 --> 00:09:21,969
to know a little
of Mr. Collins' history
235
00:09:22,053 --> 00:09:24,180
with cases like this.
What are you talking about?
236
00:09:24,263 --> 00:09:25,890
Your last case
against a clinic.
237
00:09:26,349 --> 00:09:28,476
You created 16 situations
just like this,
238
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,311
and then, on the 17th,
it got thrown out,
239
00:09:30,394 --> 00:09:32,271
because they finally
missed a deadline.
240
00:09:32,355 --> 00:09:34,315
That is a mischaracterization
of the facts, Your Honor.
241
00:09:34,398 --> 00:09:37,276
Whereas only 10%
of Nathan Krueger's cases
242
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,112
even involve monetary damages,
because this man
243
00:09:40,196 --> 00:09:42,365
spends most of his time
trying to keep poor people
244
00:09:42,448 --> 00:09:44,742
in their homes and protecting
their civil rights.
245
00:09:44,825 --> 00:09:46,744
Well, then give him the
Congressional Medal of Honor
246
00:09:46,827 --> 00:09:49,538
and dismiss this case because
he still missed the deadline.
247
00:09:49,622 --> 00:09:52,166
And it's within my power
to extend it, Mr. Collins.
248
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:55,419
So, if your company did nothing wrong,
you have nothing to worry about.
249
00:09:55,503 --> 00:09:57,380
Because this case
is moving to trial.
250
00:09:57,588 --> 00:09:59,465
Your Honor, this action
is nothing more
251
00:09:59,548 --> 00:10:01,467
than a backdoor attempt
to get our former partners
252
00:10:01,550 --> 00:10:03,302
their buy-ins back.
Where's your proof?
253
00:10:03,386 --> 00:10:06,180
I'll tell you where.
You helped us rewrite our bylaws
254
00:10:06,264 --> 00:10:08,766
to stop this claim.
Now, you're using the statement
255
00:10:08,849 --> 00:10:11,310
you made us issue to revive
that very same claim.
256
00:10:11,394 --> 00:10:14,355
Every one of these former partners
suffered damage to their career
257
00:10:14,438 --> 00:10:16,274
due to their association with
a firm that hired a fraud,
258
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:17,900
and you know it.
Wow, Stanley.
259
00:10:17,984 --> 00:10:20,027
Isn't it convenient that all
you have to back that up
260
00:10:20,111 --> 00:10:21,279
is the word
of the very same partners
261
00:10:21,362 --> 00:10:23,906
that'll say anything they have
to to get their money back?
262
00:10:24,031 --> 00:10:26,617
I'm glad you brought that up, Louis.
Because I happen to have the statement
263
00:10:26,701 --> 00:10:29,036
of a former partner who's not
a part of this lawsuit at all.
264
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,496
What the hell
are you talking about?
265
00:10:30,579 --> 00:10:32,498
Your Honor,
this is a court transcript
266
00:10:32,581 --> 00:10:34,917
of a case tried by Dana Scott,
former partner of their firm.
267
00:10:35,001 --> 00:10:36,168
I'd like to draw
your attention to the section
268
00:10:36,294 --> 00:10:38,671
where Ms. Scott talks about
having her credibility questioned
269
00:10:38,754 --> 00:10:41,465
as a direct result
of working at Pearson Specter.
270
00:10:41,549 --> 00:10:43,592
Your Honor, there must be
some other explanation for...
271
00:10:43,676 --> 00:10:44,969
Then get her ass in here
to give it.
272
00:10:45,052 --> 00:10:46,846
- Watch your mouth!
- That's enough.
273
00:10:47,054 --> 00:10:50,683
He's right. If you can't get Ms. Scott
to refute this testimony by tomorrow,
274
00:10:50,766 --> 00:10:52,393
then this trial
is moving forward.
275
00:11:04,780 --> 00:11:06,240
Mr. Ross!
276
00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:09,243
If you've got anything
to say to us,
277
00:11:09,327 --> 00:11:10,578
you're going to have to say it
to Nathan, too.
278
00:11:10,661 --> 00:11:12,371
I get it, you're the guy
from the big firm
279
00:11:12,455 --> 00:11:14,248
who comes in to finish
what they couldn't.
280
00:11:14,332 --> 00:11:15,416
But as soon as you get bored
and walk away,
281
00:11:15,499 --> 00:11:17,251
I'm going to litigate circles
around them.
282
00:11:17,335 --> 00:11:18,336
Go ahead and give it a shot.
283
00:11:18,419 --> 00:11:19,462
Here's the thing,
Mr. Collins.
284
00:11:19,545 --> 00:11:21,589
I don't get bored,
and I'm not going anywhere.
285
00:11:21,672 --> 00:11:23,841
You couldn't even make it
to court on time.
286
00:11:23,924 --> 00:11:25,426
You're serving your annual
pro bono sentence.
287
00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:26,594
You can't wait for this
to be over.
288
00:11:26,677 --> 00:11:28,054
You don't know shit about me.
289
00:11:29,180 --> 00:11:30,514
These guys were there
when I needed them,
290
00:11:30,598 --> 00:11:32,767
which means I'm going
to stick with them forever.
291
00:11:32,933 --> 00:11:35,269
Then what do you say we
settle this thing right now?
292
00:11:35,353 --> 00:11:36,562
Not interested.
293
00:11:36,645 --> 00:11:38,356
Come on, there's got
to be a number.
294
00:11:38,439 --> 00:11:41,484
I'm sure there is, and when you find it,
you can bring it to us tomorrow.
295
00:11:41,567 --> 00:11:44,445
But in the meantime, we've got
a class action to prepare for.
296
00:11:44,528 --> 00:11:45,529
Fine.
297
00:11:46,197 --> 00:11:47,865
I'll meet you at your office
tomorrow at 10:00.
298
00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:49,533
Make it 9:00,
and at the clinic.
299
00:11:50,368 --> 00:11:52,745
Oh, and Mr. Collins,
you better be on time,
300
00:11:52,828 --> 00:11:54,372
and it better be good.
301
00:11:57,166 --> 00:11:59,752
Mike, what are you doing
playing chicken with this guy?
302
00:12:00,044 --> 00:12:02,338
He's ready to settle.
You know what I'm doing.
303
00:12:02,838 --> 00:12:04,965
The less interested he thinks
we are in settling,
304
00:12:05,049 --> 00:12:06,467
the higher the number goes.
Then why didn't you at least
305
00:12:06,550 --> 00:12:07,551
let him meet you
at your office?
306
00:12:07,635 --> 00:12:08,636
Use the big guns
to intimidate him.
307
00:12:08,719 --> 00:12:11,263
Because he knows we'll never
throw our resources at this.
308
00:12:11,347 --> 00:12:12,640
Well, in case you haven't
been paying attention,
309
00:12:12,723 --> 00:12:14,266
we don't have
the resources, either.
310
00:12:14,350 --> 00:12:16,435
I know that, Oliver.
He doesn't.
311
00:12:18,104 --> 00:12:20,231
Now, come on,
here's what I need you to do.
312
00:12:22,566 --> 00:12:24,735
Hey, you have a minute?
313
00:12:25,403 --> 00:12:27,488
Not really,
because I know why you're here.
314
00:12:28,072 --> 00:12:29,115
No, you don't.
315
00:12:29,365 --> 00:12:30,408
You're here because
Louis sent you
316
00:12:30,491 --> 00:12:32,952
to get me to make Scottie
retract that statement.
317
00:12:33,327 --> 00:12:35,121
Okay, maybe you do know
why I'm here.
318
00:12:35,204 --> 00:12:36,580
But Louis
didn't send me, Harvey.
319
00:12:36,664 --> 00:12:38,499
I volunteered.
Donna.
320
00:12:38,582 --> 00:12:41,127
Nothing I say is going
to make her take it back.
321
00:12:41,210 --> 00:12:42,420
You don't know that.
322
00:12:42,503 --> 00:12:44,588
And if anybody
can make her do it, it's you.
323
00:12:44,672 --> 00:12:46,590
Why, because I have
history with her?
324
00:12:46,674 --> 00:12:48,342
Of course because
you have history with her.
325
00:12:48,426 --> 00:12:49,635
Well, maybe
I don't want it to be
326
00:12:49,718 --> 00:12:51,679
that every time I have
to go to Scottie,
327
00:12:51,762 --> 00:12:53,681
it's to use our history
to get her to do something
328
00:12:53,764 --> 00:12:55,224
that she's not going
to want to do.
329
00:12:55,307 --> 00:12:57,393
Harvey, Scottie's not
the only person who
330
00:12:57,476 --> 00:12:59,562
every time you go to her,
you need something.
331
00:12:59,770 --> 00:13:01,897
She's just the only one who
makes you feel bad about it.
332
00:13:01,981 --> 00:13:03,566
Why the hell do you think
I don't want to go over there?
333
00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:05,609
To tell you the truth,
I don't really care why.
334
00:13:05,693 --> 00:13:06,694
Because this isn't
just about you.
335
00:13:06,777 --> 00:13:08,571
This is about
keeping this place alive.
336
00:13:08,654 --> 00:13:11,115
You think I don't know that?
I think you do know that.
337
00:13:11,198 --> 00:13:13,033
And I think you also know
if you don't do this,
338
00:13:13,117 --> 00:13:16,412
we're going to trial,
and we may not win.
339
00:13:16,954 --> 00:13:19,373
And by the way, if you didn't
have a history with Scottie,
340
00:13:19,457 --> 00:13:21,375
she never would have put us
in this position
341
00:13:21,459 --> 00:13:22,626
in the first place.
342
00:13:31,469 --> 00:13:34,472
Can't say I know many lawyers
who bike to work.
343
00:13:36,056 --> 00:13:37,141
Old habit.
344
00:13:37,933 --> 00:13:40,269
Helps me clear my head
before I start a new trial.
345
00:13:40,478 --> 00:13:42,480
Whatever it does,
I'd say it's working.
346
00:13:43,272 --> 00:13:44,899
You were in the courtroom.
347
00:13:45,191 --> 00:13:47,818
Six rows back, three seats in.
I was.
348
00:13:48,152 --> 00:13:49,153
Andy Forsyth.
349
00:13:49,236 --> 00:13:51,071
Mike Ross.
I know.
350
00:13:51,155 --> 00:13:53,991
In fact, you're the reason
I took a red-eye from Seattle.
351
00:13:54,408 --> 00:13:56,827
Why'd you do that?
Because I'm about to take on
352
00:13:56,911 --> 00:13:59,079
the largest health insurer
on the west coast,
353
00:13:59,163 --> 00:14:00,748
and I'm building a firm
of my own.
354
00:14:00,831 --> 00:14:03,042
And from that Times article,
you sound like the kind of guy
355
00:14:03,125 --> 00:14:04,251
I want as a partner.
356
00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:08,088
Well, if you really read that article,
you'd know I already have a job.
357
00:14:08,172 --> 00:14:10,382
Not really looking to leave.
Not yet.
358
00:14:11,008 --> 00:14:13,260
But it's inevitable.
How is it inevitable?
359
00:14:13,594 --> 00:14:15,429
Because eventually, you're
going to be in a position
360
00:14:15,513 --> 00:14:18,182
where it's your job
to defend the indefensible.
361
00:14:18,265 --> 00:14:21,477
Look, I'm flattered,
but I'm in the middle of a case right now,
362
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,772
and the clinic that I'm partnered up
with does not have the resources.
363
00:14:24,855 --> 00:14:26,815
I'm sorry, but I'm not just
going to abandon them.
364
00:14:26,899 --> 00:14:27,900
You won't have to.
365
00:14:27,983 --> 00:14:29,401
You just put the fear of God
in the other side.
366
00:14:29,485 --> 00:14:30,819
They're going to want to
settle this thing by tomorrow.
367
00:14:30,903 --> 00:14:32,696
And if they don't?
Let me lay this out for you.
368
00:14:32,863 --> 00:14:34,823
I'm looking to start a firm
that takes on the big guys
369
00:14:34,907 --> 00:14:37,117
without relying
on funding from anyone.
370
00:14:37,201 --> 00:14:39,286
This is the case that's going
to make that happen.
371
00:14:39,370 --> 00:14:41,956
And when it's over, I want
someone to run the place.
372
00:14:42,039 --> 00:14:45,584
And that person is you.
And before you say anything,
373
00:14:45,668 --> 00:14:48,295
Rachel Zane can run it
right by your side.
374
00:14:51,215 --> 00:14:53,217
But I need a yes, soon.
375
00:14:53,801 --> 00:14:56,220
Or I need to move on.
376
00:14:57,304 --> 00:15:00,432
I'm staying at the Carlyle.
You have 48 hours.
377
00:15:05,354 --> 00:15:06,772
Hell of a view.
378
00:15:07,690 --> 00:15:10,734
Hard to believe working for me
almost kept you from getting it.
379
00:15:10,818 --> 00:15:12,236
Hello to you too, Harvey.
380
00:15:12,570 --> 00:15:14,405
If you're here in person,
Stanley Gordon
381
00:15:14,488 --> 00:15:16,407
must really have you
by the balls.
382
00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:19,034
You know about the suit.
He called looking to get me
383
00:15:19,118 --> 00:15:20,995
to throw you under the bus
three weeks ago.
384
00:15:21,078 --> 00:15:22,997
I told him I didn't have
anything to say.
385
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,916
That's funny, because he's using
you to make his case anyway.
386
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:27,751
What are you talking about?
387
00:15:27,835 --> 00:15:31,672
I'm talking about a closing statement
you made in court six months ago.
388
00:15:38,554 --> 00:15:39,555
Well, shit.
389
00:15:39,847 --> 00:15:41,307
Scottie, why would
you say that?
390
00:15:41,390 --> 00:15:43,517
The other side was attacking
my credibility,
391
00:15:43,601 --> 00:15:44,852
I had to appeal to the jury.
392
00:15:44,935 --> 00:15:46,353
And I'm not going
to apologize for it.
393
00:15:46,437 --> 00:15:48,564
Apologize for it?
It's not even true.
394
00:15:48,647 --> 00:15:49,648
Yes, it is.
395
00:15:49,732 --> 00:15:51,108
How the hell
were you damaged?
396
00:15:51,191 --> 00:15:53,235
You're a name partner here.
That doesn't mean
397
00:15:53,319 --> 00:15:55,279
that I haven't suffered
from my association with you.
398
00:15:55,362 --> 00:15:57,197
Oh, bullshit. I know you.
399
00:15:57,281 --> 00:15:59,199
I know you'll say anything
you have to to win,
400
00:15:59,283 --> 00:16:01,619
and that's what you did.
So what if I did?
401
00:16:02,244 --> 00:16:03,537
You know what.
402
00:16:05,289 --> 00:16:06,457
No, I don't.
403
00:16:07,291 --> 00:16:09,835
Because if you are asking me
to get up on a stand
404
00:16:09,918 --> 00:16:11,503
and tell a jury that
when I try a case,
405
00:16:11,587 --> 00:16:14,089
I am full of shit,
then you must be out of your mind.
406
00:16:14,173 --> 00:16:15,382
Scottie, I am in trouble here.
407
00:16:15,466 --> 00:16:18,844
I need you to help me.
It is my firm now.
408
00:16:18,927 --> 00:16:20,804
If it goes down
after I took it over...
409
00:16:20,888 --> 00:16:22,723
I understand that, Harvey.
410
00:16:22,806 --> 00:16:24,975
But I didn't get you
into this mess, you did.
411
00:16:25,059 --> 00:16:26,644
And I'm not going to put
my career on the line
412
00:16:26,727 --> 00:16:28,771
to get you out of it.
Scottie...
413
00:16:28,854 --> 00:16:30,314
I'm sorry, Harvey.
414
00:16:30,689 --> 00:16:33,275
But I've said yes to you
too many times.
415
00:16:35,527 --> 00:16:37,446
You know what?
I'm sorry I asked.
416
00:16:41,825 --> 00:16:42,993
Hey.
417
00:16:43,118 --> 00:16:44,161
Hey.
418
00:16:44,953 --> 00:16:46,789
Want to go out
and grab a bite to eat?
419
00:16:46,997 --> 00:16:48,749
No, I can't. I got to prepare
420
00:16:48,832 --> 00:16:50,751
for this settlement meeting
in the morning.
421
00:16:50,834 --> 00:16:52,795
For the class action?
Mike, that's great.
422
00:16:52,878 --> 00:16:54,922
Nothing about this case
is great.
423
00:16:59,510 --> 00:17:01,553
Look at these kids, Rachel.
424
00:17:02,513 --> 00:17:04,807
It's just one after another.
425
00:17:07,351 --> 00:17:09,561
Oh. She's just a baby.
426
00:17:10,354 --> 00:17:11,897
She's three.
427
00:17:12,981 --> 00:17:15,901
They already know she's got
cognitive damage from the lead.
428
00:17:17,152 --> 00:17:19,530
This is heartbreaking.
It's so unfair.
429
00:17:20,364 --> 00:17:22,616
The worst part is,
even if we win,
430
00:17:23,367 --> 00:17:25,077
money's not going
to cure her.
431
00:17:26,036 --> 00:17:27,496
Or any of these other kids.
432
00:17:27,746 --> 00:17:30,708
Well, you're helping them
the best way that you can.
433
00:17:31,875 --> 00:17:33,252
Am I?
434
00:17:34,795 --> 00:17:36,213
Hey.
435
00:17:37,881 --> 00:17:39,383
What's going on?
436
00:17:40,342 --> 00:17:42,177
I got a job offer today.
437
00:17:43,137 --> 00:17:44,471
Okay.
438
00:17:45,013 --> 00:17:47,307
What does that have to do
with any of this?
439
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:50,561
The guy who offered it to me
is opening up a practice
440
00:17:50,644 --> 00:17:52,688
dedicated to doing
this kind of work.
441
00:17:53,689 --> 00:17:56,734
It's like a clinic,
but with big firm money.
442
00:17:56,817 --> 00:17:57,818
Hmm.
443
00:17:58,944 --> 00:18:00,988
And he wants us to run it.
444
00:18:03,699 --> 00:18:06,702
Us? He asked for us
to do it?
445
00:18:07,578 --> 00:18:08,579
Yeah.
446
00:18:11,415 --> 00:18:13,751
Well, what if I told you
I'd consider it?
447
00:18:15,419 --> 00:18:16,503
That's...
448
00:18:16,587 --> 00:18:19,131
No, that's not the point.
It's in Seattle.
449
00:18:19,214 --> 00:18:20,591
He wants an answer
in two days.
450
00:18:20,674 --> 00:18:21,717
We can't do it.
451
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,636
It just got to me,
that's all.
452
00:18:27,765 --> 00:18:30,350
Then go in there tomorrow
453
00:18:31,018 --> 00:18:32,978
and use whatever
this did to you
454
00:18:33,604 --> 00:18:36,648
to get those families the most
that you possibly can.
455
00:18:36,899 --> 00:18:39,485
Because, Mike, we're going
to have children someday.
456
00:18:39,818 --> 00:18:43,155
And I don't want them to live in a
world where things like this happen.
457
00:18:50,954 --> 00:18:52,372
Make yourself at home.
458
00:18:53,749 --> 00:18:54,750
What'd she say?
459
00:18:54,833 --> 00:18:57,127
She said she's not going
to testify for us.
460
00:18:57,795 --> 00:19:00,589
So you mean they get
to enter that statement
461
00:19:00,672 --> 00:19:01,757
she made in court,
and there's nothing
462
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,384
we can do to counter it?
Yeah.
463
00:19:04,468 --> 00:19:07,471
That's what I mean.
Well then, we're fucked.
464
00:19:08,472 --> 00:19:10,557
Because that right there
is proof that
465
00:19:10,682 --> 00:19:13,143
they were damaged by our firm.
Louis...
466
00:19:13,227 --> 00:19:14,895
She was a partner
just as much as they were,
467
00:19:14,978 --> 00:19:18,023
and there's nothing that we can
say that's going to change that.
468
00:19:20,818 --> 00:19:23,654
No, she wasn't.
What are you talking about?
469
00:19:23,737 --> 00:19:27,741
Louis, Scottie wasn't a
partner as much as they were.
470
00:19:27,825 --> 00:19:29,368
She's not part of the class,
471
00:19:29,451 --> 00:19:31,578
and she left way before
any of them.
472
00:19:31,662 --> 00:19:34,373
And even if we stipulate
that she was hurt by us,
473
00:19:34,498 --> 00:19:36,750
that doesn't prove they were.
I get it.
474
00:19:36,834 --> 00:19:39,586
We need to show if these guys
aren't succeeding,
475
00:19:39,670 --> 00:19:41,421
it's not our fault.
It's theirs.
476
00:19:41,505 --> 00:19:42,714
Exactly.
477
00:19:42,798 --> 00:19:45,467
And I know just the man
to help us do it.
478
00:19:55,227 --> 00:19:57,646
I hope you don't mind.
Sylvia told me I could come in.
479
00:19:58,564 --> 00:20:00,190
I assume
you're here to ask me
480
00:20:00,274 --> 00:20:02,526
about your old partners
suing you.
481
00:20:02,609 --> 00:20:03,902
You know the whole story?
482
00:20:03,986 --> 00:20:06,238
I know they're looking
for their share of the pie,
483
00:20:06,321 --> 00:20:07,948
and I know you're not here
to get me to try to stop them,
484
00:20:08,031 --> 00:20:09,616
because I can't.
I know that, Robert.
485
00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:11,118
But...
I don't think you do.
486
00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:13,453
I don't think you understand
what's happened
487
00:20:13,537 --> 00:20:15,789
to my reputation here.
What are you talking about?
488
00:20:15,873 --> 00:20:18,709
I bailed you out
with Bratton Gould,
489
00:20:18,792 --> 00:20:20,586
and then again
on that prison case.
490
00:20:20,669 --> 00:20:23,797
I help you out with this, well,
I might as well just move in.
491
00:20:23,881 --> 00:20:26,508
Because no one here
will ever trust me again.
492
00:20:26,592 --> 00:20:29,678
All I need is access
to their performance reviews.
493
00:20:29,761 --> 00:20:32,931
Are you out of your mind?
Those are confidential.
494
00:20:33,015 --> 00:20:35,976
And we both know I can have
them subpoenaed if I have to.
495
00:20:36,059 --> 00:20:37,394
Well then, do that.
I can't afford
496
00:20:37,561 --> 00:20:40,564
to look complicit with you,
no matter how much you play that tiny violin.
497
00:20:40,898 --> 00:20:42,816
This isn't
a tiny violin, Robert.
498
00:20:43,442 --> 00:20:46,028
This lawsuit could burn
my firm to the ground.
499
00:20:50,365 --> 00:20:51,366
All right.
500
00:20:53,744 --> 00:20:55,245
There is one way.
501
00:20:55,495 --> 00:20:56,997
But it needs
to happen tonight,
502
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,207
while I'm having dinner
with Rand and Kaldor.
503
00:20:59,708 --> 00:21:00,751
What is it?
504
00:21:05,714 --> 00:21:08,592
Mr. Collins.
We appreciate the punctuality.
505
00:21:08,759 --> 00:21:10,010
What are all these people
doing here?
506
00:21:10,093 --> 00:21:12,012
This is supposed to be
a settlement meeting.
507
00:21:12,095 --> 00:21:13,889
Well, we thought before
we heard your offer,
508
00:21:13,972 --> 00:21:15,599
we'd show you
what you're up against.
509
00:21:16,391 --> 00:21:17,976
And you don't think
Discharge Power
510
00:21:18,101 --> 00:21:20,896
can afford an army of its own?
No, I'm sure they can.
511
00:21:20,979 --> 00:21:22,689
But unlike yours,
every one of my people
512
00:21:22,773 --> 00:21:24,775
is prepared to shed blood
for this case.
513
00:21:26,401 --> 00:21:29,905
Then maybe this will keep them
from shedding anything at all.
514
00:21:38,163 --> 00:21:39,539
What the hell are you doing?
515
00:21:39,623 --> 00:21:42,042
This is less
than $60,000 per family.
516
00:21:42,125 --> 00:21:44,711
Which is a hell of a lot of money for
lead poisoning we knew nothing about.
517
00:21:44,795 --> 00:21:46,797
Bullshit, your people knew
what was going on here.
518
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,340
And you have no proof of that.
519
00:21:48,465 --> 00:21:50,550
This is a list of children
pulled from the school
520
00:21:50,634 --> 00:21:52,970
within the first six months
of the plant opening.
521
00:21:54,012 --> 00:21:56,139
You want to take a guess
what they have in common?
522
00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:59,017
Their parents are all
executives at Discharge Power.
523
00:21:59,267 --> 00:22:01,228
So don't try to tell us
that no one knew.
524
00:22:01,687 --> 00:22:02,896
Where did you get that?
525
00:22:03,689 --> 00:22:06,316
Is that how you're going
to counter in front of a jury?
526
00:22:08,652 --> 00:22:10,570
$100,000 a family,
that's the best you're going to do.
527
00:22:10,654 --> 00:22:11,697
No, it isn't.
Mike...
528
00:22:11,780 --> 00:22:13,490
No, these are children.
529
00:22:13,573 --> 00:22:15,826
We have the resources,
and this isn't going to go down like this,
530
00:22:15,909 --> 00:22:18,203
so why don't you go back to
your masters and tell them
531
00:22:18,286 --> 00:22:20,497
that unless they want
to be exposed to the world,
532
00:22:20,580 --> 00:22:22,624
they're going to need
to add some more zeroes.
533
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,669
We're never going to do that.
You can, and you will.
534
00:22:27,129 --> 00:22:28,463
Now get out of my face.
535
00:22:34,511 --> 00:22:36,138
My office, now.
536
00:22:45,063 --> 00:22:47,733
Goddamn it.
What the hell did you do?
537
00:22:48,025 --> 00:22:49,526
What do you mean,
what did I do?
538
00:22:49,609 --> 00:22:50,944
It was a good cop, bad cop.
That was the plan.
539
00:22:51,028 --> 00:22:53,113
No, the plan was to close
in the room.
540
00:22:53,196 --> 00:22:54,531
Not blow the whole thing up
for some number
541
00:22:54,656 --> 00:22:56,616
they're never going to go for.
Nathan, they'll come back.
542
00:22:56,700 --> 00:22:57,701
What the hell
is wrong with you?
543
00:22:57,784 --> 00:22:58,910
What's wrong with me?
544
00:22:58,994 --> 00:23:00,704
Those kids are going
to be fucked up
545
00:23:00,787 --> 00:23:02,581
for the rest of their lives,
and you seem to care more
546
00:23:02,664 --> 00:23:04,666
about closing in the room than
getting them the best deal.
547
00:23:04,750 --> 00:23:06,668
Did you not hear me
when I first came to you?
548
00:23:06,752 --> 00:23:08,795
I needed money,
because if this goes to trial,
549
00:23:08,879 --> 00:23:10,714
we are out of business.
Nathan, it's not going
550
00:23:10,797 --> 00:23:12,174
to go to trial.
551
00:23:12,674 --> 00:23:14,259
And the only thing
that's going to stop this guy
552
00:23:14,342 --> 00:23:16,678
from tripling that offer
is if you don't have the balls
553
00:23:16,762 --> 00:23:18,180
to wait it out.
554
00:23:20,057 --> 00:23:23,769
Nathan, look, I know you got into this
because you care about these people,
555
00:23:23,852 --> 00:23:25,520
and you're a good man
for doing it.
556
00:23:25,604 --> 00:23:28,565
But you need to trust me.
I know what I'm doing.
557
00:23:29,399 --> 00:23:32,235
All I'm asking is that
you just wait one day.
558
00:23:34,780 --> 00:23:36,031
Okay, Mike.
559
00:23:37,491 --> 00:23:38,575
One day.
560
00:23:43,663 --> 00:23:44,998
Harvey, if this is about
the Bartlett case,
561
00:23:45,082 --> 00:23:47,250
I have already made plans
to work late.
562
00:23:47,375 --> 00:23:48,835
I'm here to tell you
to leave early
563
00:23:48,919 --> 00:23:51,797
to get to your parent's house
for your mom's chicken piccata.
564
00:23:52,422 --> 00:23:54,341
It's Wednesday.
My mom makes lasagna.
565
00:23:54,424 --> 00:23:56,635
I don't care if she's making
cow-shit soufflé.
566
00:23:56,718 --> 00:23:58,428
I need you to get
to that dinner,
567
00:23:58,512 --> 00:24:00,347
and look through
your father's files.
568
00:24:00,430 --> 00:24:02,641
With all due respect,
I'm not in the habit
569
00:24:02,724 --> 00:24:04,726
of going through my father's
things without him knowing.
570
00:24:04,851 --> 00:24:07,270
Then you don't have to worry,
because he does know.
571
00:24:08,063 --> 00:24:09,314
Harvey, what's going on?
572
00:24:10,107 --> 00:24:12,859
Stanley Gordon's suing us
on behalf of our ex-partners,
573
00:24:12,943 --> 00:24:14,820
claiming that their time
at Pearson Specter
574
00:24:14,903 --> 00:24:16,363
hurt their careers.
I get it.
575
00:24:16,446 --> 00:24:18,031
And some of those partners
work for my dad,
576
00:24:18,115 --> 00:24:19,991
and he wants to help us prove
that it's not true,
577
00:24:20,075 --> 00:24:22,285
but he doesn't want
to be seen doing it.
578
00:24:22,494 --> 00:24:25,455
Which is why he's going to leave
their performance reviews out.
579
00:24:25,539 --> 00:24:27,582
And you're going to tell me
exactly what they say.
580
00:24:27,666 --> 00:24:28,875
Well then,
I'd better get going.
581
00:24:28,959 --> 00:24:30,961
Because you might not care,
but my mom's lasagna?
582
00:24:31,044 --> 00:24:32,671
It's the best
you've ever had.
583
00:24:37,467 --> 00:24:39,177
Hey, what's going on?
Oliver told me to come in,
584
00:24:39,261 --> 00:24:40,762
but he didn't
give me a reason.
585
00:24:43,306 --> 00:24:45,433
Where is everyone?
I sent them home.
586
00:24:45,809 --> 00:24:47,018
What? Why?
587
00:24:47,811 --> 00:24:48,895
We lost our funding.
588
00:24:49,437 --> 00:24:50,647
What the hell
are you talking about?
589
00:24:50,981 --> 00:24:53,233
Discharge Power called our
five biggest angel investors,
590
00:24:53,316 --> 00:24:55,527
and got them
to pull their funding.
591
00:24:55,652 --> 00:24:57,154
So we're shut down.
They can't do that.
592
00:24:57,404 --> 00:24:58,488
They just did it.
593
00:25:01,199 --> 00:25:02,784
Oh, my God.
I don't believe this.
594
00:25:02,868 --> 00:25:06,121
Well, you should believe it,
because it's game over.
595
00:25:06,663 --> 00:25:08,248
The clinic, the case,
everything.
596
00:25:08,331 --> 00:25:10,041
Nathan, you can't just
roll over.
597
00:25:10,125 --> 00:25:11,626
As long as your lights are on,
I'm sure you've got people
598
00:25:11,710 --> 00:25:12,711
who are willing
to work on this...
599
00:25:12,794 --> 00:25:14,296
Our charter
doesn't allow it, okay?
600
00:25:14,421 --> 00:25:16,464
And you can't work here,
either, so just go.
601
00:25:16,548 --> 00:25:18,925
Go back to PSL, or SL,
or whatever the hell
602
00:25:19,009 --> 00:25:20,302
you call the place that
teaches you to turn down
603
00:25:20,385 --> 00:25:23,138
multi-million dollar offers.
You think this is my fault?
604
00:25:23,305 --> 00:25:26,308
It's not, Nathan, it's theirs,
and that monster of a lawyer
605
00:25:26,433 --> 00:25:28,685
that they've got...
I don't care whose fault it is.
606
00:25:28,768 --> 00:25:31,104
If that offer is still on the table,
I am taking it.
607
00:25:31,188 --> 00:25:32,856
Because it's the only way
that we're going to be able
608
00:25:32,939 --> 00:25:34,608
to get our funding back.
Nathan, you go back
609
00:25:34,691 --> 00:25:36,151
to Collins now,
you're going to be lucky to get
610
00:25:36,234 --> 00:25:37,569
10 cents on the dollar.
611
00:25:37,652 --> 00:25:38,945
Then I'll get 10 cents
on the dollar.
612
00:25:39,029 --> 00:25:40,238
Would you wait a minute
and listen to me?
613
00:25:40,322 --> 00:25:42,782
Because I am trying to help...
I am done listening to you!
614
00:25:43,408 --> 00:25:44,534
Go!
615
00:25:45,327 --> 00:25:47,037
And stay the hell
out of this case.
616
00:26:04,012 --> 00:26:05,805
Mike, hey, this is great.
I didn't think I'd see you...
617
00:26:05,889 --> 00:26:07,224
What the fuck did you do?
618
00:26:08,141 --> 00:26:09,142
What the hell
are you talking about?
619
00:26:09,226 --> 00:26:10,560
I didn't do anything.
Bullshit.
620
00:26:10,644 --> 00:26:11,853
You cut
the clinic's funding off
621
00:26:11,937 --> 00:26:13,813
because I told you they
didn't have the resources.
622
00:26:13,897 --> 00:26:15,232
I have no idea
what you're talking about.
623
00:26:15,315 --> 00:26:17,150
You're going to deny
that up until nine months ago,
624
00:26:17,234 --> 00:26:19,152
you worked for the firm that
represented the parent company
625
00:26:19,236 --> 00:26:20,904
of that battery plant?
I worked there,
626
00:26:20,987 --> 00:26:22,530
and I hated it.
It's why I left.
627
00:26:22,614 --> 00:26:24,157
And if that were the truth,
you would have said something
628
00:26:24,241 --> 00:26:26,368
the first time we met,
but you didn't.
629
00:26:26,451 --> 00:26:28,370
No, you told me they were
going to offer me a job.
630
00:26:28,453 --> 00:26:29,955
You gave me
a reason to take it,
631
00:26:30,038 --> 00:26:31,164
and then when I didn't
jump on it,
632
00:26:31,248 --> 00:26:33,041
you put people that I
care about out of work.
633
00:26:33,124 --> 00:26:35,001
I didn't do shit
to that clinic.
634
00:26:35,085 --> 00:26:36,544
You're being paranoid.
I'm being paranoid, really?
635
00:26:36,628 --> 00:26:38,588
And what's more likely?
That I'm being paranoid,
636
00:26:38,672 --> 00:26:40,090
or that you appeared
out of nowhere
637
00:26:40,173 --> 00:26:42,300
to offer me
some magical opportunity
638
00:26:42,384 --> 00:26:44,678
the day before
we lose our funding?
639
00:26:45,136 --> 00:26:46,346
You are making a big mistake.
640
00:26:46,429 --> 00:26:48,431
I need you to stay
the hell away from me,
641
00:26:48,515 --> 00:26:50,267
the clinic,
and this case.
642
00:27:07,075 --> 00:27:09,035
Harvey, what are you
doing here?
643
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,578
I'm here to give you
your performance review.
644
00:27:10,662 --> 00:27:13,039
I don't work for you.
No, but you're going to
645
00:27:13,123 --> 00:27:15,083
answer to me when I put you
on the stand.
646
00:27:17,002 --> 00:27:18,128
Read it.
647
00:27:21,589 --> 00:27:24,384
When I read it, I don't
see a man that was held back
648
00:27:24,467 --> 00:27:26,845
because his old firm
had a bad reputation.
649
00:27:27,137 --> 00:27:29,681
I see a man
that reached his limitation.
650
00:27:29,764 --> 00:27:31,391
Everyone knew it,
except for him,
651
00:27:31,474 --> 00:27:33,184
and now, he's looking
for someone to blame.
652
00:27:33,435 --> 00:27:35,562
I didn't bring this suit.
I don't care,
653
00:27:35,645 --> 00:27:36,730
because as far
as they're concerned,
654
00:27:36,813 --> 00:27:38,064
you're the leader
of the band.
655
00:27:38,148 --> 00:27:39,941
Which means
you're the first one up.
656
00:27:40,025 --> 00:27:41,401
You must want something.
657
00:27:41,693 --> 00:27:43,236
Because you didn't
come all the way down here
658
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,988
just to tell me
you're going to humiliate me.
659
00:27:45,071 --> 00:27:46,823
I'm here
to give you a chance.
660
00:27:47,198 --> 00:27:49,993
Get Gordon and the rest
of them to back off,
661
00:27:50,076 --> 00:27:51,953
and this never sees
the light of day.
662
00:27:52,037 --> 00:27:54,289
If not, you're going
on the stand tomorrow,
663
00:27:54,372 --> 00:27:55,540
because I'm telling you,
664
00:27:55,623 --> 00:27:58,960
there's no way I am letting
them use you or Scottie
665
00:27:59,044 --> 00:28:01,379
or anybody else
to take my firm from me.
666
00:28:08,011 --> 00:28:09,888
Please tell me you didn't
go back to see Collins.
667
00:28:10,138 --> 00:28:11,139
You know, I tried.
668
00:28:11,222 --> 00:28:13,183
He wouldn't give me
the time of day.
669
00:28:13,808 --> 00:28:14,851
Good.
670
00:28:15,352 --> 00:28:17,312
Good?
671
00:28:17,812 --> 00:28:19,647
My only chance
to keep this place alive
672
00:28:19,731 --> 00:28:22,776
is to dump this thing,
beg our donors to come back,
673
00:28:22,859 --> 00:28:24,235
and accept that these kids
get nothing.
674
00:28:24,319 --> 00:28:27,197
No, it isn't.
What are you talking about?
675
00:28:29,074 --> 00:28:30,950
I got a job offer yesterday.
676
00:28:31,659 --> 00:28:33,453
This guy said
he's starting a firm
677
00:28:33,536 --> 00:28:36,039
dedicated to doing
the kinds of cases we do now.
678
00:28:36,748 --> 00:28:38,792
Well, if you came to me
for advice, I'd say take it.
679
00:28:38,875 --> 00:28:40,043
It's not about...
680
00:28:41,753 --> 00:28:44,339
Nathan, he's the one that
got the donors to pull out.
681
00:28:44,881 --> 00:28:47,425
What?
He used to work for Porter Lofton,
682
00:28:47,509 --> 00:28:49,135
and this whole thing
was a ploy.
683
00:28:49,219 --> 00:28:50,929
So you're here to tell me
you got played?
684
00:28:51,012 --> 00:28:53,390
No, I'm here to tell you that even
though that job was bullshit,
685
00:28:53,473 --> 00:28:55,225
the idea is a good one.
686
00:28:56,017 --> 00:28:57,185
You want to start
a firm like that?
687
00:28:57,268 --> 00:28:59,187
I want you to start
a firm like that.
688
00:28:59,521 --> 00:29:02,148
Instead of begging donors
to keep you alive,
689
00:29:02,232 --> 00:29:03,983
just let your non-profit
status go.
690
00:29:04,067 --> 00:29:05,985
Why would I do that?
Because then, you'd have
691
00:29:06,069 --> 00:29:07,320
no cap on your fees.
692
00:29:07,654 --> 00:29:09,239
You could make enough
from this one case
693
00:29:09,322 --> 00:29:10,448
to get these families
what they deserve,
694
00:29:10,532 --> 00:29:12,492
and keep yourself
running for years.
695
00:29:12,575 --> 00:29:15,370
Mike, this clinic
has meant everything to me.
696
00:29:15,453 --> 00:29:18,248
I spent 11 years running it.
I'm not about to let it die
697
00:29:18,373 --> 00:29:21,334
based on a gamble.
It's not a gamble if you win.
698
00:29:22,252 --> 00:29:24,712
I will help you.
Oliver will help you.
699
00:29:24,796 --> 00:29:27,132
And then, when it's over,
nobody will ever be able
700
00:29:27,215 --> 00:29:28,425
to force you
to abandon a client
701
00:29:28,508 --> 00:29:30,427
by cutting off your wallet
ever again.
702
00:29:30,510 --> 00:29:32,762
Even if I could say yes,
you're forgetting the reason
703
00:29:32,846 --> 00:29:34,431
I came to you
in the first place.
704
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,724
You need money.
705
00:29:36,808 --> 00:29:39,936
We don't have anywhere near
enough to even see this to trial.
706
00:29:40,103 --> 00:29:41,396
How much do you need?
707
00:29:41,813 --> 00:29:43,398
To float the whole firm?
Yes.
708
00:29:43,773 --> 00:29:45,066
Half a million dollars.
709
00:29:47,152 --> 00:29:48,278
I'll get you the money.
710
00:29:52,323 --> 00:29:55,243
Scottie, if you're here because
you've been subpoenaed,
711
00:29:55,326 --> 00:29:56,453
I've got something
in the works.
712
00:29:56,536 --> 00:29:57,620
I haven't been
subpoenaed, Harvey.
713
00:29:57,787 --> 00:29:59,080
That's not why I'm here.
714
00:29:59,706 --> 00:30:00,790
Then why are you here?
715
00:30:01,749 --> 00:30:03,209
To say that I'm sorry.
716
00:30:05,211 --> 00:30:08,256
I don't want to see you
lose your firm, Harvey.
717
00:30:08,339 --> 00:30:09,841
I care about you.
718
00:30:10,300 --> 00:30:13,803
I always have, I always will.
And I just wanted to say that.
719
00:30:15,805 --> 00:30:17,015
And?
720
00:30:17,849 --> 00:30:19,142
And what?
721
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:22,145
You didn't come all the way
down here just to tell me that.
722
00:30:24,314 --> 00:30:26,149
You don't make it easy,
do you?
723
00:30:28,776 --> 00:30:31,112
The last time
that we saw each other,
724
00:30:31,196 --> 00:30:34,574
you told me that you were
seeing someone about yourself.
725
00:30:35,366 --> 00:30:37,494
And you asked
if when you were done,
726
00:30:38,661 --> 00:30:39,829
could you call me.
727
00:30:40,997 --> 00:30:44,167
I remember.
Well, are you done?
728
00:30:45,126 --> 00:30:48,213
Did you fix yourself?
729
00:30:48,671 --> 00:30:51,674
Let's just say
I'm a work in progress.
730
00:30:52,675 --> 00:30:54,010
What does that mean?
731
00:30:56,262 --> 00:30:59,516
You want the truth?
Yes.
732
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,520
A year after I stopped
with my therapist,
733
00:31:04,437 --> 00:31:06,189
I started seeing her.
734
00:31:06,940 --> 00:31:09,359
A year?
A year and three weeks.
735
00:31:13,112 --> 00:31:15,114
Three weeks longer
than the waiting period.
736
00:31:15,281 --> 00:31:17,075
I am a lawyer, after all.
737
00:31:17,825 --> 00:31:19,994
I'm guessing
it didn't work out.
738
00:31:21,204 --> 00:31:23,706
It didn't.
It was complicated.
739
00:31:24,499 --> 00:31:27,085
Did Donna have anything to do
with that complication?
740
00:31:27,377 --> 00:31:28,878
Why do you ask?
741
00:31:29,796 --> 00:31:31,422
That's all I needed to know.
742
00:31:34,342 --> 00:31:35,593
Sorry to interrupt,
but, Harvey,
743
00:31:35,677 --> 00:31:36,970
Stanley Gordon's
in the conference room.
744
00:31:37,053 --> 00:31:38,346
He wants to see us both.
745
00:31:38,555 --> 00:31:40,807
Hi, Scottie.
Louis.
746
00:31:44,686 --> 00:31:46,229
Good luck, Harvey.
747
00:31:52,735 --> 00:31:54,612
You know, I never liked
this conference room.
748
00:31:54,737 --> 00:31:56,906
Too much glass.
What do you want, Stanley?
749
00:31:56,990 --> 00:31:58,866
We've got a trial
to prepare for.
750
00:31:59,325 --> 00:32:01,286
Nice job getting Soloff
to drop out.
751
00:32:01,369 --> 00:32:03,079
We did it with him,
we can do it with all of them.
752
00:32:03,162 --> 00:32:04,497
Maybe you can,
maybe you can't.
753
00:32:04,581 --> 00:32:06,207
One thing's for sure.
You don't have to.
754
00:32:06,291 --> 00:32:08,293
Why not?
Give them their jobs back.
755
00:32:08,376 --> 00:32:09,669
That's all they wanted
in the first place.
756
00:32:09,752 --> 00:32:11,337
What?
Give these guys
757
00:32:11,421 --> 00:32:13,506
their jobs back,
this whole thing goes away.
758
00:32:13,590 --> 00:32:15,466
Bullshit.
It's not bullshit.
759
00:32:15,592 --> 00:32:17,635
It's what they want.
- And what about what you want?
760
00:32:18,052 --> 00:32:20,221
This whole thing was a setup
for you to get
761
00:32:20,305 --> 00:32:22,265
back behind the wheel
of Jessica's car.
762
00:32:22,348 --> 00:32:24,142
It's not Jessica's
goddamn car,
763
00:32:24,225 --> 00:32:25,393
it's mine.
764
00:32:25,518 --> 00:32:26,894
But that's not
what this is about.
765
00:32:27,312 --> 00:32:28,646
I don't believe you.
I don't care whether
766
00:32:28,730 --> 00:32:30,273
you believe me or not,
because that's the deal
767
00:32:30,356 --> 00:32:31,441
that's on the table.
768
00:32:31,608 --> 00:32:33,443
So you can take
your chances in court,
769
00:32:33,526 --> 00:32:34,736
or you can put this
in the rear view mirror
770
00:32:34,819 --> 00:32:36,696
right the hell now.
Never going to happen.
771
00:32:36,779 --> 00:32:38,531
If it'll sweeten the deal any,
I'll put it in writing.
772
00:32:38,615 --> 00:32:40,533
Anyone tries to make me
a partner in the new firm,
773
00:32:40,617 --> 00:32:42,827
the deal's off,
and we walk away with nothing.
774
00:32:43,578 --> 00:32:46,122
Didn't expect that, did you?
I'm not like Jessica.
775
00:32:46,205 --> 00:32:48,458
I actually care about
the people I left behind.
776
00:32:49,125 --> 00:32:50,835
So take the deal, or don't.
777
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,090
But with or without Jack Soloff,
we're going to trial.
778
00:33:12,315 --> 00:33:13,316
You look tired.
779
00:33:15,485 --> 00:33:18,446
Look, Donna, I don't want to ask
what I'm about to ask, but...
780
00:33:19,822 --> 00:33:21,616
I've got nowhere else to go.
781
00:33:23,368 --> 00:33:24,786
That doesn't sound good.
782
00:33:25,828 --> 00:33:28,998
I need you to back my request for
the firm to loan the clinic money
783
00:33:29,082 --> 00:33:30,750
against its fee on my case.
784
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,335
How much?
785
00:33:33,127 --> 00:33:35,171
$500,000.
What?
786
00:33:35,588 --> 00:33:37,674
Mike, that is never
going to fly with Harvey.
787
00:33:37,757 --> 00:33:40,176
I know that, which is why
I need you to make it fly.
788
00:33:40,259 --> 00:33:42,553
And I already helped you
by saying okay to this case
789
00:33:42,637 --> 00:33:44,972
when Harvey wasn't here.
I'm not going to double down on that
790
00:33:45,056 --> 00:33:47,767
by saying we should give the clinic
money at the worst possible time.
791
00:33:47,850 --> 00:33:49,435
Well, when exactly
is a good time?
792
00:33:49,519 --> 00:33:51,938
Never, because we're
a corporate law firm.
793
00:33:52,021 --> 00:33:53,940
We give them money, we might
as well tell our clients
794
00:33:54,023 --> 00:33:55,149
that they're
our second priority.
795
00:33:55,233 --> 00:33:57,276
I'm not talking
about an investment, Donna.
796
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,195
I'm talking about a loan.
And if you can't see
797
00:33:59,278 --> 00:34:02,156
that to the rest of the world,
there's no difference, then...
798
00:34:03,032 --> 00:34:05,702
Then what?
Then nothing.
799
00:34:06,744 --> 00:34:09,163
Does this have something
to do with me not being ready?
800
00:34:10,540 --> 00:34:12,625
What?
Harvey said I wasn't ready
801
00:34:12,709 --> 00:34:15,294
to be senior partner, but he
doesn't come to a conclusion
802
00:34:15,378 --> 00:34:17,380
like that without running it
by you first.
803
00:34:18,715 --> 00:34:19,966
Okay.
804
00:34:23,136 --> 00:34:24,762
Then yes, Mike.
805
00:34:25,096 --> 00:34:27,473
You not being able
to accept something like this
806
00:34:27,557 --> 00:34:30,435
is exactly what I meant
about you not being ready.
807
00:34:30,518 --> 00:34:31,978
I understand.
808
00:34:32,478 --> 00:34:35,773
And I know if Gordon wins,
then we might not even survive.
809
00:34:35,857 --> 00:34:39,444
But, Donna, what is the point
of trying to survive
810
00:34:39,527 --> 00:34:41,821
if we can't do
something like this?
811
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,492
I'm telling you, I've gone
through his financials,
812
00:34:46,576 --> 00:34:48,494
the partners' financials,
the by-laws.
813
00:34:48,578 --> 00:34:50,121
I haven't found
a goddamn thing.
814
00:34:50,204 --> 00:34:51,539
Then we keep looking
until we do.
815
00:34:51,622 --> 00:34:52,915
Harvey, has it
occurred to you it's possible
816
00:34:52,999 --> 00:34:54,667
that this isn't the worst
outcome in the world?
817
00:34:54,751 --> 00:34:57,336
Yeah, and I could also
get shot in the face.
818
00:34:57,420 --> 00:34:58,755
But that's not what we're
talking about right now.
819
00:34:58,838 --> 00:35:00,757
I'm saying, let Gordon think
he pressured us
820
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,759
into taking those partners back,
because the truth is,
821
00:35:02,842 --> 00:35:04,635
we're a more powerful firm
if they're here.
822
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,014
And you and I both know if
Stanley Gordon wants them back,
823
00:35:08,431 --> 00:35:09,807
he wants it for a reason,
824
00:35:09,891 --> 00:35:11,809
and it sure as hell
isn't to help us out.
825
00:35:11,893 --> 00:35:13,519
I have some information,
but I don't know if it has
826
00:35:13,603 --> 00:35:14,854
anything to do
with this or not.
827
00:35:15,104 --> 00:35:16,105
What is it?
828
00:35:16,689 --> 00:35:18,691
Last week, when we almost
lost our lease,
829
00:35:18,775 --> 00:35:21,068
I did some checking
in case we had to move, and...
830
00:35:21,152 --> 00:35:22,904
Hold on, I'm sorry.
We almost lost our lease?
831
00:35:22,987 --> 00:35:24,697
That's not the point, Louis.
I took care of it.
832
00:35:24,781 --> 00:35:26,532
The point is
there were three floors
833
00:35:26,616 --> 00:35:28,659
in Robert Zane's building
listed as vacant,
834
00:35:28,743 --> 00:35:29,827
but when I looked
into renting them,
835
00:35:29,911 --> 00:35:32,538
they were no longer available,
because as it turns out,
836
00:35:32,872 --> 00:35:34,874
Rand Kaldor Zane is expanding.
837
00:35:35,374 --> 00:35:36,959
- That can't be.
- Harvey's right.
838
00:35:37,043 --> 00:35:38,294
For those partners
to come back here,
839
00:35:38,377 --> 00:35:40,546
Zane would need
to waive their non-competes.
840
00:35:40,630 --> 00:35:43,090
Why would he do that at the
same time he's expanding?
841
00:35:43,174 --> 00:35:46,677
I don't know, but three floors is
exactly how much space we use.
842
00:35:47,970 --> 00:35:49,013
Holy shit.
843
00:35:49,430 --> 00:35:50,807
Gordon really doesn't
want to take over.
844
00:35:50,890 --> 00:35:53,559
He just wants to orchestrate a
deal where his guys come back,
845
00:35:53,643 --> 00:35:56,562
they vote to merge with Zane,
and we cease to exist.
846
00:35:56,646 --> 00:35:59,398
That's not possible.
Our by-laws prevent that.
847
00:35:59,482 --> 00:36:01,234
No, Harvey, they don't.
848
00:36:01,317 --> 00:36:03,152
And I've been focusing
on the wrong thing.
849
00:36:03,569 --> 00:36:06,322
He doesn't need to be managing partner
for them to outvote us on this.
850
00:36:07,281 --> 00:36:09,283
Harvey, if that's true,
851
00:36:09,367 --> 00:36:10,868
Zane would have
to be in on it.
852
00:36:12,578 --> 00:36:14,205
Then I'm going to go
and find out.
853
00:36:16,791 --> 00:36:19,168
Good work, Donna.
Thanks, Louis.
854
00:36:21,003 --> 00:36:23,714
Listen, while we're here,
855
00:36:23,798 --> 00:36:25,341
I have something
I need to talk to you about.
856
00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:36,435
You must have known
I'd find out sooner or later.
857
00:36:36,519 --> 00:36:37,770
What the hell
are you talking about?
858
00:36:37,854 --> 00:36:39,605
I'm talking about your plan
to swallow us up,
859
00:36:39,689 --> 00:36:41,440
and you not being man enough
to do it in the open.
860
00:36:41,524 --> 00:36:42,859
You better start
making sense,
861
00:36:42,942 --> 00:36:44,610
or I'm going to drive you
to Bellevue myself.
862
00:36:44,694 --> 00:36:46,362
You're telling me you had
nothing to do with this?
863
00:36:46,445 --> 00:36:47,738
I don't goddamn know
what this is.
864
00:36:47,822 --> 00:36:49,740
Okay, I'll lay it out
for you.
865
00:36:50,658 --> 00:36:52,827
The second we released
that statement about Jessica,
866
00:36:52,910 --> 00:36:55,621
Stanley Gordon contacted you
with a side deal.
867
00:36:56,372 --> 00:36:59,125
He whipped up a lawsuit to get
his clients back into our house
868
00:36:59,208 --> 00:37:01,961
so they can vote in favor
of selling out to you.
869
00:37:02,044 --> 00:37:03,462
If I wanted
to swallow you up,
870
00:37:03,546 --> 00:37:06,048
I wouldn't just be man enough
to tell you to your face.
871
00:37:06,132 --> 00:37:07,925
I would be jumping out
of this chair to do it.
872
00:37:08,009 --> 00:37:09,385
Then why did you lock down
a five-year lease
873
00:37:09,510 --> 00:37:11,679
on the three floors
below you?
874
00:37:13,973 --> 00:37:15,683
That's your signature,
isn't it?
875
00:37:19,312 --> 00:37:20,813
Goddamn it.
876
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,399
Did you know about this
and keep it from me?
877
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:26,652
No, they kept it from me.
878
00:37:27,904 --> 00:37:29,155
Who's they?
879
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,741
Eric Kaldor and Ellen Rand.
880
00:37:32,366 --> 00:37:34,327
I just found out
that my two partners,
881
00:37:34,410 --> 00:37:35,912
who I've worked with
for 26 years,
882
00:37:36,037 --> 00:37:38,331
are willing to stab me
in the back.
883
00:37:39,415 --> 00:37:42,460
Look, I am sorry I had to be the
one to break it to you, Robert.
884
00:37:44,295 --> 00:37:46,172
But you better
get your house in order.
885
00:37:46,839 --> 00:37:49,008
Because now,
I have to protect mine.
886
00:37:58,601 --> 00:37:59,852
Bullshit.
887
00:38:00,645 --> 00:38:03,105
What?
Bullshit.
888
00:38:04,273 --> 00:38:06,484
I want to talk
about the job offer,
889
00:38:06,567 --> 00:38:08,361
and what it means
if we take it.
890
00:38:11,197 --> 00:38:13,032
Well, I don't know
what to say, Rachel,
891
00:38:13,115 --> 00:38:15,451
because it turns out
that offer was bullshit.
892
00:38:16,118 --> 00:38:18,120
What?
What are you talking about?
893
00:38:18,746 --> 00:38:20,122
There was no job.
894
00:38:21,624 --> 00:38:23,376
He was just trying to get me
to drop the case.
895
00:38:23,459 --> 00:38:26,712
Oh, Mike, I'm so sorry.
It's even worse.
896
00:38:26,796 --> 00:38:29,215
I told him that the clinic
had limited resources,
897
00:38:29,298 --> 00:38:31,425
and he used that information
to strong-arm the donors,
898
00:38:31,509 --> 00:38:33,177
and get them
to pull the plug.
899
00:38:33,761 --> 00:38:35,304
Well, he didn't contact me.
900
00:38:35,972 --> 00:38:37,431
Louis, now is not
a good time.
901
00:38:38,140 --> 00:38:39,558
Well, that's where
you're wrong, my friend.
902
00:38:39,642 --> 00:38:41,268
Because it's always
a good time
903
00:38:41,352 --> 00:38:43,479
to get a half
a million dollar donation.
904
00:38:48,526 --> 00:38:49,777
I thought the firm
couldn't do this.
905
00:38:49,860 --> 00:38:51,153
Well, the firm can't.
906
00:38:51,821 --> 00:38:54,740
It's an anonymous gift,
from me to the Eastside Legal Clinic.
907
00:38:54,991 --> 00:38:57,660
I don't ever need it back,
and no one ever needs to know.
908
00:39:00,454 --> 00:39:02,164
Was this your idea,
or Donna's?
909
00:39:02,415 --> 00:39:03,624
Team effort.
910
00:39:04,667 --> 00:39:06,585
I don't know what to say.
Say thank you.
911
00:39:06,669 --> 00:39:09,171
Thank you.
No, Mike, thank you.
912
00:39:09,255 --> 00:39:11,924
Because you've been doing the right
thing ever since you got here.
913
00:39:12,008 --> 00:39:14,677
The world could use
a lot more people like you.
914
00:39:15,136 --> 00:39:16,637
I couldn't agree more.
915
00:39:24,770 --> 00:39:26,397
What?
916
00:39:30,735 --> 00:39:33,529
Can't say that the place looks
nicer since I've been gone.
917
00:39:34,155 --> 00:39:36,615
You don't like it?
It's fine.
918
00:39:36,866 --> 00:39:38,576
If you don't care
about color or texture.
919
00:39:38,868 --> 00:39:39,869
Fair enough.
920
00:39:39,994 --> 00:39:41,495
Now tell me
why you're really here,
921
00:39:41,579 --> 00:39:42,955
because it sure as hell
isn't to tell me
922
00:39:43,039 --> 00:39:45,791
what a shitty job I did
decorating your office.
923
00:39:45,875 --> 00:39:48,878
Harvey,
I know what's going on with Stanley Gordon.
924
00:39:49,253 --> 00:39:50,546
But I need a favor.
925
00:39:50,838 --> 00:39:53,382
What kind of favor?
You remember that thing
926
00:39:53,466 --> 00:39:55,259
I said wouldn't follow me
to Chicago?
927
00:39:55,718 --> 00:39:58,095
Well, it did.
Aw, shit.
928
00:39:58,679 --> 00:39:59,722
They're coming
after your license?
929
00:39:59,805 --> 00:40:01,015
They already took it.
930
00:40:01,724 --> 00:40:03,893
I'm here because I need you
to fly out there tomorrow
931
00:40:03,976 --> 00:40:05,978
and file a TRO or 500 people
932
00:40:06,062 --> 00:40:07,855
aren't going to have
a place to live.
933
00:40:07,938 --> 00:40:10,775
You want me to file a TRO
for a housing project?
934
00:40:10,858 --> 00:40:13,611
I am in the middle of a fight
for this firm's life.
935
00:40:13,694 --> 00:40:14,779
I don't care what you're
in the middle of.
936
00:40:14,862 --> 00:40:17,490
You owe me, because along
with about 100 other things,
937
00:40:17,573 --> 00:40:19,825
you threw me under the bus.
And as I recall,
938
00:40:19,909 --> 00:40:21,577
you said
you were okay with it.
939
00:40:21,660 --> 00:40:23,954
And now,
I need a goddamn favor.
940
00:40:24,747 --> 00:40:26,791
Okay, you want my help?
941
00:40:27,249 --> 00:40:28,626
You tell me what's going on.
942
00:40:29,126 --> 00:40:31,587
Okay, Harvey. Here it is.
943
00:40:32,213 --> 00:40:35,007
I went out there
to make a difference
944
00:40:35,091 --> 00:40:37,635
and all I was doing
was scratching the surface,
945
00:40:37,718 --> 00:40:39,345
one pro bono at a time.
946
00:40:39,637 --> 00:40:42,348
So I decided
to go toe-to-toe
947
00:40:42,431 --> 00:40:45,935
with the mayor's office
on a police brutality case.
948
00:40:46,769 --> 00:40:48,604
I got
a $4 million settlement.
949
00:40:49,522 --> 00:40:51,690
And two weeks after
you put out that statement,
950
00:40:51,774 --> 00:40:53,859
they came after my license.
951
00:40:53,943 --> 00:40:55,528
So you're saying
this is payback?
952
00:40:55,611 --> 00:40:57,863
I'm saying they're trying
to run me out of town.
953
00:40:57,947 --> 00:40:59,949
What exactly do you want me
to do about it?
954
00:41:00,032 --> 00:41:02,701
I want you to stand
next to me on the last case
955
00:41:02,785 --> 00:41:05,788
I'll ever have,
because I'm not going out like this.
956
00:41:05,871 --> 00:41:07,915
Jessica, if all you need
is a lawyer,
957
00:41:07,998 --> 00:41:09,959
you can have your pick
of the top guys out there.
958
00:41:10,042 --> 00:41:12,294
Harvey,
you're not hearing me.
959
00:41:13,212 --> 00:41:16,048
I am going to war with the
people that took my license.
960
00:41:16,132 --> 00:41:18,467
I don't need the top guy.
961
00:41:19,635 --> 00:41:22,221
I need the best partner
I've ever had.
962
00:41:22,638 --> 00:41:24,515
And I need him
to have my back.
963
00:41:38,821 --> 00:41:40,865
Is this an intervention?
Because if it is,
964
00:41:40,948 --> 00:41:43,033
you might want to put
those drinks away.
965
00:41:44,076 --> 00:41:45,411
Jessica told us
what's going on, Harvey,
966
00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:47,454
Whatever it is
she needs you for,
967
00:41:47,538 --> 00:41:49,415
we came here to tell you that we'll
take care of things back here.
968
00:41:49,498 --> 00:41:50,791
You sure about that?
969
00:41:50,875 --> 00:41:53,752
Because I'm not.
The one thing I'm sure of
970
00:41:53,836 --> 00:41:55,504
is that none of us
would be here without Jessica.
971
00:41:55,588 --> 00:41:57,631
And we're willing to do
whatever it takes to help her.
972
00:41:58,340 --> 00:42:00,551
Whatever it takes?
Yes.
973
00:42:02,178 --> 00:42:04,305
Then I want your word
right now.
974
00:42:04,388 --> 00:42:06,473
If you have to choose between
the clinic and the firm,
975
00:42:06,557 --> 00:42:08,142
you drop the clinic.
976
00:42:08,225 --> 00:42:09,768
You don't think,
how can I get out of this,
977
00:42:09,852 --> 00:42:12,104
how can I pawn this off,
or anything else.
978
00:42:12,188 --> 00:42:14,106
You drop it inside
of two seconds,
979
00:42:14,190 --> 00:42:16,192
and you help Louis
with whatever he needs.
980
00:42:16,984 --> 00:42:19,403
- Done.
- They're right, Harvey.
981
00:42:19,820 --> 00:42:21,864
Jessica sacrificed
everything for us.
982
00:42:22,573 --> 00:42:24,033
We'll have your back.
983
00:42:24,909 --> 00:42:26,410
Just get on the plane.
984
00:42:32,458 --> 00:42:34,043
Well, then...
985
00:42:34,543 --> 00:42:36,462
Hope to God
you guys are right.
