1
00:00:02,302 --> 00:00:03,884
Which one of my clients
are you after?
2
00:00:03,971 --> 00:00:05,573
Because we both know
you can't have Pfizer.
3
00:00:05,597 --> 00:00:07,634
- Yes, I can.
- Then make me name partner.
4
00:00:07,724 --> 00:00:10,078
You don't just slap somebody's name
on the wall to get a client.
5
00:00:10,102 --> 00:00:13,140
I'm not just slapping his name up, Louis.
I'm making a move.
6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,642
I'm not saying Donna doesn't
deserve a promotion,
7
00:00:15,732 --> 00:00:17,769
I'm just saying making partner
means something.
8
00:00:17,859 --> 00:00:21,978
And I'm concerned that being one
here won't mean what it used to.
9
00:00:22,447 --> 00:00:23,716
This is an amazing
amount of work.
10
00:00:23,740 --> 00:00:24,926
I stayed up
all night doing it.
11
00:00:24,950 --> 00:00:26,594
But I thought you take the
night shift with your son.
12
00:00:26,618 --> 00:00:28,179
I told my wife she'd have
to take it last night.
13
00:00:28,203 --> 00:00:29,819
I thought you might need a
little relief.
14
00:00:29,913 --> 00:00:31,745
You sure?
Support his head.
15
00:00:32,082 --> 00:00:33,198
There we go.
16
00:00:33,292 --> 00:00:35,249
Holy shit. Gordon really
doesn't wanna take over.
17
00:00:35,335 --> 00:00:37,827
He just wants to orchestrate
a deal where his guys come back,
18
00:00:37,921 --> 00:00:40,709
they vote to merge with Zane,
and we cease to exist.
19
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:44,383
I just found out that my two partners are
willing to stab me in the back.
20
00:00:44,511 --> 00:00:46,343
God damn it, Louis.
I'm trying the best I can.
21
00:00:46,430 --> 00:00:47,762
Well, then,
try something else,
22
00:00:47,848 --> 00:00:51,012
because giving you the reins
a half hour before we drive off a cliff
23
00:00:51,184 --> 00:00:52,550
isn't gonna do shit.
24
00:00:52,811 --> 00:00:55,269
I just came to make sure
that the paperwork was in order
25
00:00:55,355 --> 00:00:57,847
for your clients to come over
and join our new firm.
26
00:00:57,941 --> 00:00:59,978
I went and saw
Andy Forsyth today.
27
00:01:00,068 --> 00:01:02,355
You went to see him
about us moving to Seattle?
28
00:01:02,446 --> 00:01:05,564
If we're ever gonna do something like this
in our lives, now is the time.
29
00:01:05,657 --> 00:01:08,149
- And what about the wedding?
- We could move it up.
30
00:01:08,243 --> 00:01:11,862
If I've learned one thing, it's that
there is nothing that I can't handle
31
00:01:11,955 --> 00:01:13,287
when I have you by my side.
32
00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:15,133
You're the husband
I've always wanted.
33
00:01:15,208 --> 00:01:17,825
And I can't wait to begin our
adventure together.
34
00:01:18,837 --> 00:01:21,955
Rachel and I were offered
a chance to run a firm in Seattle.
35
00:01:22,049 --> 00:01:23,085
- Mike...
- Harvey,
36
00:01:23,175 --> 00:01:24,916
this is who I am.
It's who I've always been.
37
00:01:25,218 --> 00:01:26,504
It's time, Harvey.
38
00:01:32,643 --> 00:01:33,759
I'll tell you what, Robert.
39
00:01:34,478 --> 00:01:37,221
Your baby girl just got married,
I'm gonna throw you a bone.
40
00:01:37,689 --> 00:01:38,725
Your name goes first.
41
00:01:39,149 --> 00:01:40,310
No. No.
42
00:01:40,484 --> 00:01:42,444
You think I don't know
what you're doing.
43
00:01:42,736 --> 00:01:44,853
Then I owe you.
Yours goes first.
44
00:01:44,946 --> 00:01:45,982
You saying I owe you?
45
00:01:46,073 --> 00:01:48,030
You do owe me.
I saved your ass.
46
00:01:48,116 --> 00:01:51,075
Well, you only did that
because we put you in a terrible position.
47
00:01:51,286 --> 00:01:53,619
Wait. That's against me.
48
00:01:53,747 --> 00:01:56,160
Jesus Christ,
what have I got myself into?
49
00:01:56,249 --> 00:01:57,660
I'll tell you what.
50
00:01:57,751 --> 00:01:59,708
You got yourself into
Zane Specter Litt.
51
00:01:59,795 --> 00:02:02,333
Or Specter Zane Litt.
52
00:02:02,547 --> 00:02:03,788
Either way...
53
00:02:05,050 --> 00:02:06,490
- Litt comes last.
- Litt comes last.
54
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:14,136
Hey.
55
00:02:14,810 --> 00:02:15,971
Wanna go out
and get a burger?
56
00:02:16,228 --> 00:02:18,185
I do. But it's 2:00 a.m.
57
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,480
If I go out for a burger right now,
the only thing I'm getting is a divorce.
58
00:02:21,775 --> 00:02:23,767
Copy that. I'll get you
one from the kitchen.
59
00:02:23,860 --> 00:02:25,146
Yeah, meet me downstairs.
60
00:02:25,237 --> 00:02:26,728
Hide it in the gift bag
or some shit.
61
00:03:03,108 --> 00:03:04,940
- You're here early.
- I am.
62
00:03:05,402 --> 00:03:07,683
I know this is about the time you
finish your morning run.
63
00:03:07,738 --> 00:03:10,098
Look, Harvey. If this is
about me getting into it with Louis
64
00:03:10,157 --> 00:03:11,193
while you were gone...
65
00:03:11,283 --> 00:03:12,885
It isn't. I didn't even know
that happened.
66
00:03:12,909 --> 00:03:14,741
Well, you might as well
hear about it now.
67
00:03:14,828 --> 00:03:16,694
I came to him with an idea
to save the firm
68
00:03:16,788 --> 00:03:20,281
that involved making me temporary
managing partner, and he bit my head off.
69
00:03:20,375 --> 00:03:22,186
Let me guess, he thought
you were coming after me.
70
00:03:22,210 --> 00:03:23,563
Harvey, I would never do
that to you.
71
00:03:23,587 --> 00:03:26,045
I know that, but that's
not what I'm here to talk about.
72
00:03:26,131 --> 00:03:30,626
I'm here to tell you that as of this morning
we're merging with Robert Zane.
73
00:03:30,761 --> 00:03:31,922
- What?
- Alex...
74
00:03:32,012 --> 00:03:33,048
I don't believe it.
75
00:03:33,138 --> 00:03:36,097
When I came over you said my name
would be the one to go up next.
76
00:03:36,183 --> 00:03:39,267
I know that, but this was
the only way to save the firm.
77
00:03:39,352 --> 00:03:41,059
And you know
as well as I do,
78
00:03:41,146 --> 00:03:44,856
Zane has been a name partner
longer than me and Louis combined.
79
00:03:44,941 --> 00:03:46,807
All right, I get it.
80
00:03:46,902 --> 00:03:48,234
But we had an agreement.
81
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,903
And I want your word right now
you're gonna honor it.
82
00:03:50,989 --> 00:03:54,699
You have my word.
Your name goes up next.
83
00:03:55,869 --> 00:03:57,576
All right.
84
00:03:57,662 --> 00:03:59,324
One more thing.
85
00:03:59,414 --> 00:04:01,872
Did Louis know about the merger
before this morning?
86
00:04:01,958 --> 00:04:03,119
Yeah, why?
87
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:06,665
Because if he didn't tell me about it,
he must really not trust me.
88
00:04:06,755 --> 00:04:08,441
Which means when it is time
to put my name up there...
89
00:04:08,465 --> 00:04:10,627
- Louis'll be fine, Alex.
- And what if he's not?
90
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,709
Like I said, you have my word.
91
00:04:19,726 --> 00:04:21,037
Of course, I would
do that for you.
92
00:04:21,061 --> 00:04:24,020
I would do anything for you
because I love you.
93
00:04:24,105 --> 00:04:28,019
I promise. I will never bring it up again.
We never have to get a Maine coon.
94
00:04:29,736 --> 00:04:31,352
- Sheila?
- Yes.
95
00:04:31,446 --> 00:04:33,608
Anyway, I brought you in
because I want...
96
00:04:33,698 --> 00:04:35,530
Katrina, what's
on your mind?
97
00:04:35,617 --> 00:04:38,985
Nothing. It's just,
giving up cats?
98
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:41,412
Louis, after all she put
you through, are you sure?
99
00:04:41,498 --> 00:04:44,491
I am. And besides, she's still
open to getting a shorthair.
100
00:04:44,793 --> 00:04:47,456
- Well, then I'm happy for you.
- And I'm happy for you, too,
101
00:04:47,546 --> 00:04:48,981
because today is the day
that you get to make
102
00:04:49,005 --> 00:04:50,587
your two greatest loves
more efficient.
103
00:04:50,674 --> 00:04:52,540
Don't tell me. We're merging
with Zane,
104
00:04:52,634 --> 00:04:55,395
we have more associates than we can
handle and you need the one person
105
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:57,841
who worked at both firms
to cull that herd.
106
00:04:57,931 --> 00:04:59,422
Exactly. And now
I need you to come up
107
00:04:59,516 --> 00:05:01,369
with a list of the ten
least-efficient associates
108
00:05:01,393 --> 00:05:04,852
without telling me names or whether
or not they come from Zane or us.
109
00:05:04,938 --> 00:05:08,306
- Got it.
- And, Katrina?
110
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,733
Thanks for your concern
about Sheila and me.
111
00:05:10,819 --> 00:05:14,779
Louis, you know I care for you deeply
in a completely asexual manner.
112
00:05:14,865 --> 00:05:18,575
And I too care for you deeply
and see you neither as man nor woman.
113
00:05:18,660 --> 00:05:20,572
Thank you, Louis.
114
00:05:20,662 --> 00:05:22,324
Kinder words were
never spoken.
115
00:05:22,747 --> 00:05:25,239
I'll have my list for you
by the end of the day.
116
00:05:33,091 --> 00:05:34,923
I'm gonna miss her, too.
117
00:05:35,719 --> 00:05:37,631
I'm not sure
which is worse.
118
00:05:37,721 --> 00:05:41,806
Finding out Mike was a fraud
or that he's taking my daughter away.
119
00:05:42,475 --> 00:05:44,842
Pretty sure it was
the fraud thing.
120
00:05:44,936 --> 00:05:46,472
You probably got a point.
121
00:05:46,563 --> 00:05:49,931
Speaking of frauds
and your daughter.
122
00:05:56,948 --> 00:05:58,064
She left that for me?
123
00:05:58,158 --> 00:06:01,526
A little welcome to the firm
from your little girl.
124
00:06:02,662 --> 00:06:05,057
By the way, Harvey wants to meet
at 9:30 in the conference room.
125
00:06:05,081 --> 00:06:09,166
So in the meantime, why don't you
set yourself up in Mike's old office.
126
00:06:09,294 --> 00:06:11,627
- Thank you, Donna.
- It's nice to have you here, Robert.
127
00:06:11,713 --> 00:06:14,421
Oh, we'll see how nice
it is once I tell Harvey
128
00:06:14,507 --> 00:06:16,965
it's not his old office
that I'm looking to be in.
129
00:06:17,052 --> 00:06:19,590
Claiming managing partner
already.
130
00:06:19,679 --> 00:06:21,295
Isn't that a bold statement
for day one?
131
00:06:21,389 --> 00:06:22,596
Let me tell
you something, Red.
132
00:06:22,682 --> 00:06:25,265
I've been making bold
statements my entire career.
133
00:06:25,352 --> 00:06:27,469
I'm sure as hell not about
to stop now.
134
00:06:34,277 --> 00:06:37,520
See the money,
wanna stay for your meal
135
00:06:37,614 --> 00:06:40,732
Get another piece of pie
for your wife
136
00:06:40,825 --> 00:06:44,034
Everybody wanna know
how it feel
137
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,579
Everybody wanna see
what it's like
138
00:06:47,666 --> 00:06:50,579
I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind
139
00:06:50,669 --> 00:06:52,581
Me and missy is so early
140
00:06:52,671 --> 00:06:54,503
Busy, busy making money
141
00:06:54,589 --> 00:06:55,955
All right!
142
00:06:56,049 --> 00:06:59,383
All step back
I'm 'bout to dance
143
00:07:01,596 --> 00:07:03,588
The greenback boogie
144
00:07:08,144 --> 00:07:10,727
All right, I think we all know
who's gonna be managing partner
145
00:07:10,814 --> 00:07:12,333
isn't something we're gonna
decide overnight.
146
00:07:12,357 --> 00:07:14,940
Therefore, for the sake
of firm harmony,
147
00:07:15,026 --> 00:07:17,188
I suggest we start
with conflicts of interest.
148
00:07:17,278 --> 00:07:19,144
- Fine with me.
- Me too.
149
00:07:19,239 --> 00:07:21,196
Great. As you can see,
150
00:07:21,282 --> 00:07:25,777
I've taken the liberty of
suggesting who drops which client.
151
00:07:25,870 --> 00:07:28,783
And I am confident you will
agree with all of my proposals
152
00:07:28,873 --> 00:07:31,331
- with the exception...
- I'm not dropping Dexterol.
153
00:07:31,418 --> 00:07:32,954
And I'm not dropping Clavatin.
154
00:07:33,044 --> 00:07:34,205
- Exactly.
- Exactly what?
155
00:07:34,295 --> 00:07:35,398
What do you mean,
"Exactly what?"
156
00:07:35,422 --> 00:07:37,129
I knew that neither of you
would be willing
157
00:07:37,215 --> 00:07:39,332
to give up those particular
clients. Exactly that.
158
00:07:40,010 --> 00:07:42,923
- You mean you don't have a suggestion?
- I have a suggestion.
159
00:07:43,013 --> 00:07:46,256
You drop yours, then the next time
we have a major conflict I'll drop mine.
160
00:07:46,349 --> 00:07:48,244
You sure about that?
Because the next major conflict
161
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:50,055
we're gonna have is
who's managing partner.
162
00:07:50,145 --> 00:07:51,727
Then what exactly
is your idea?
163
00:07:51,813 --> 00:07:54,305
I say whoever's client billed
the most hours last year stays.
164
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:55,765
Well, that's pretty
damn convenient
165
00:07:55,859 --> 00:07:59,819
because your client went through
a merger so their billables are inflated.
166
00:07:59,904 --> 00:08:01,507
You're saying that the sun
got in your eyes
167
00:08:01,531 --> 00:08:03,009
and that's why you dropped the
big pass?
168
00:08:03,033 --> 00:08:04,444
Wait a second, Harvey's right.
169
00:08:04,576 --> 00:08:06,178
- Come again?
- No, not about who to drop.
170
00:08:06,202 --> 00:08:07,818
Your client did just go
through a merger.
171
00:08:07,912 --> 00:08:09,574
They're in a whole new line
of business.
172
00:08:09,664 --> 00:08:13,032
Most of which doesn't conflict
with Clavatin anymore.
173
00:08:13,126 --> 00:08:14,166
Where you going with this?
174
00:08:14,252 --> 00:08:15,521
I'm saying if we can
get either client
175
00:08:15,545 --> 00:08:17,832
to drop the one division
where they still overlap
176
00:08:17,922 --> 00:08:20,380
you can keep them both.
177
00:08:21,217 --> 00:08:24,176
Well, in that case
I'll get my client to drop.
178
00:08:24,262 --> 00:08:25,628
It's the least I can do.
179
00:08:25,722 --> 00:08:27,429
Oh, no. I'll do the honors.
180
00:08:27,515 --> 00:08:29,302
After all, you welcomed me
into your home.
181
00:08:29,392 --> 00:08:31,008
Why don't we make it
a friendly wager.
182
00:08:31,102 --> 00:08:32,638
We each get
our client to drop.
183
00:08:32,729 --> 00:08:34,140
First one who gets there wins.
184
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:35,391
Sure thing.
185
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,368
Don't do it.
186
00:08:49,746 --> 00:08:51,487
Don't do what?
187
00:08:51,581 --> 00:08:53,868
Don't try to get Zane's
client to dump their division
188
00:08:53,958 --> 00:08:55,915
after telling him you'd get
your client to do it.
189
00:08:56,002 --> 00:08:57,521
How do you even know
that's what happened?
190
00:08:57,545 --> 00:09:00,288
- I know because Louis told me.
- What do you mean Louis told you?
191
00:09:00,381 --> 00:09:03,089
The meeting just ended two seconds ago
and I came right back here.
192
00:09:03,176 --> 00:09:06,840
In that case, I mean, I heard
Louis' voice on the recording device
193
00:09:06,930 --> 00:09:08,650
that I had installed
in the conference room.
194
00:09:08,681 --> 00:09:09,967
You bugged the meeting?
195
00:09:10,058 --> 00:09:11,390
Bugged is such
a distasteful word.
196
00:09:11,476 --> 00:09:13,388
- That's not an answer.
- Okay.
197
00:09:13,478 --> 00:09:15,435
You want an answer?
198
00:09:15,522 --> 00:09:17,514
I have been listening
to your conversations
199
00:09:17,607 --> 00:09:19,835
since you were an associate,
and I'm not about to stop now.
200
00:09:19,859 --> 00:09:21,295
Now, do you want to quibble
about my methods
201
00:09:21,319 --> 00:09:23,422
or do you want to get the part
where I save you from yourself?
202
00:09:23,446 --> 00:09:24,857
- Donna.
- Harvey, you heard him.
203
00:09:24,948 --> 00:09:26,689
Zane's got his eye
on managing partner.
204
00:09:26,783 --> 00:09:28,094
I know good and well
what he's after.
205
00:09:28,118 --> 00:09:30,155
Then why would you give him
ammunition?
206
00:09:31,412 --> 00:09:33,369
Because you think
this is gonna be fun.
207
00:09:33,623 --> 00:09:35,034
But trust me, you go after him
208
00:09:35,125 --> 00:09:37,045
and it's gonna get
more serious than you thought.
209
00:09:37,085 --> 00:09:38,479
And in the end,
you're just gonna prove
210
00:09:38,503 --> 00:09:41,371
that he's better suited
to be in your office than you.
211
00:09:43,675 --> 00:09:45,382
Okay, Donna.
212
00:09:46,219 --> 00:09:48,802
Okay, you're not gonna pick
a fight with Robert Zane?
213
00:09:48,888 --> 00:09:52,222
No. Okay, I'm gonna find
someone else to do it for me.
214
00:09:57,939 --> 00:09:59,305
Thanks.
215
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:00,935
Twice in one day.
216
00:10:01,025 --> 00:10:02,482
To what do I owe
the pleasure now?
217
00:10:02,569 --> 00:10:05,482
I'm here to tell you, you want your name
on the door you got to earn it.
218
00:10:05,572 --> 00:10:06,733
I thought I already had.
219
00:10:06,823 --> 00:10:09,718
Maybe you have, maybe you haven't,
but I got something for you to do anyway.
220
00:10:09,742 --> 00:10:10,903
And what exactly is that?
221
00:10:10,994 --> 00:10:13,031
I need you to get
Robert Zane's biggest client
222
00:10:13,121 --> 00:10:14,737
to sell their
manufacturing division.
223
00:10:15,707 --> 00:10:19,200
Harvey, you point me up the hill,
I'm gonna kill whoever's at the top.
224
00:10:19,294 --> 00:10:20,626
- But?
- But in this case,
225
00:10:20,712 --> 00:10:22,078
the guy at the top is
on our side.
226
00:10:22,172 --> 00:10:23,652
- Is he?
- What are you talking about?
227
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,924
I'm telling you this is gonna
determine who runs the firm.
228
00:10:27,010 --> 00:10:28,421
Zane knows it and I know it.
229
00:10:28,511 --> 00:10:32,881
So if you want me to be able to live up
to that promise, I need you to do this.
230
00:10:32,974 --> 00:10:34,340
And I don't like
being threatened
231
00:10:34,434 --> 00:10:35,995
for you to uphold
a promise you already made.
232
00:10:36,019 --> 00:10:39,512
I don't either, but like it
or not, this benefits both of us.
233
00:10:39,814 --> 00:10:41,500
And I guarantee you right now,
Zane's going to
234
00:10:41,524 --> 00:10:43,561
his right-hand man
to ask the same thing.
235
00:10:43,651 --> 00:10:44,983
And who is his right hand?
236
00:10:45,069 --> 00:10:48,813
Your job isn't to ask who he is.
Your job is to kick his ass.
237
00:11:19,145 --> 00:11:22,513
You planning on making it
in to the new offices anytime soon?
238
00:11:22,607 --> 00:11:24,367
What for? Help you
pick out new lamps?
239
00:11:24,442 --> 00:11:25,774
What's that supposed to mean?
240
00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:27,180
It means I knew
you'd come in here
241
00:11:27,237 --> 00:11:29,173
and ask me to take care of
whatever needs taking care of
242
00:11:29,197 --> 00:11:30,733
whenever it needs
taking care of.
243
00:11:30,865 --> 00:11:33,027
So unless you want to step in
and take a beating,
244
00:11:33,117 --> 00:11:34,278
why don't you just get to it?
245
00:11:34,369 --> 00:11:35,655
You think I couldn't
handle you?
246
00:11:35,745 --> 00:11:38,078
I think if you took your tie
off, we could find out.
247
00:11:38,957 --> 00:11:40,698
Shit, I come up there
and get my ass kicked
248
00:11:40,792 --> 00:11:42,728
by a skinny white girl,
my life would never be the same.
249
00:11:42,752 --> 00:11:45,119
So what do we got?
A number two, a number six?
250
00:11:45,213 --> 00:11:46,624
Number 14 with a side of 11.
251
00:11:46,714 --> 00:11:48,314
Well, leave the file
and the particulars,
252
00:11:48,424 --> 00:11:50,507
- I'll get to it when I'm done.
- Samantha.
253
00:11:50,593 --> 00:11:52,550
I need you to come
through for me on this one.
254
00:11:52,637 --> 00:11:54,406
Come on, Robert, have I
ever let you down before?
255
00:11:54,430 --> 00:11:57,264
You've never lost, but you have
let me down a time or two.
256
00:11:58,393 --> 00:12:01,227
Well, then, I give you my word
this will not be one of those times.
257
00:12:08,069 --> 00:12:10,686
Damn, she could kick my ass.
258
00:12:23,251 --> 00:12:24,895
Katrina, what are you doing here?
I gave you an assignment...
259
00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:26,480
- I finished it.
- What do you mean you finished it?
260
00:12:26,504 --> 00:12:29,233
I asked you to evaluate 50 associates.
How could you have done that already?
261
00:12:29,257 --> 00:12:30,748
I didn't.
PATTIE did it for me.
262
00:12:30,842 --> 00:12:32,754
- Who the hell's Pattie?
- Not who, what.
263
00:12:32,844 --> 00:12:36,133
Personal Assessment Tallying
and Totalling Individual Efficiency.
264
00:12:36,222 --> 00:12:37,338
Say what now?
265
00:12:37,432 --> 00:12:39,298
I plugged in 16 parameters
and quantifiables,
266
00:12:39,392 --> 00:12:42,009
PATTIE popped out a list ranking
the associates from one to 50.
267
00:12:42,103 --> 00:12:43,139
Katrina, this is amazing.
268
00:12:43,229 --> 00:12:44,707
Not only that,
it's completely objective.
269
00:12:44,731 --> 00:12:46,768
The bottom ten are
the least efficient, period.
270
00:12:47,150 --> 00:12:48,910
Well, then I guess
all that's left is for you
271
00:12:48,943 --> 00:12:50,254
to tell me who they are
and for me to let them go.
272
00:12:50,278 --> 00:12:51,610
About that, Louis.
273
00:12:51,696 --> 00:12:53,437
I'd like to be the one
to do the letting go.
274
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:55,697
Katrina, I could never
ask you to do that.
275
00:12:55,783 --> 00:12:57,274
You're not asking, I am.
276
00:12:57,368 --> 00:12:58,762
I don't understand.
Why would you want to?
277
00:12:58,786 --> 00:13:00,848
Louis, you told me I could be
senior partner one day.
278
00:13:00,872 --> 00:13:03,285
Which means, I need
to be able to do things like this.
279
00:13:03,374 --> 00:13:05,115
- But...
- And as Ned Stark would say,
280
00:13:05,209 --> 00:13:07,747
"He who passes the sentence
should swing the sword."
281
00:13:08,087 --> 00:13:09,565
You know I can never argue
with Ned Stark.
282
00:13:09,589 --> 00:13:11,831
I do. Thank you.
283
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,592
Katrina.
284
00:13:16,554 --> 00:13:18,841
- Make them clean deaths.
- I will.
285
00:13:30,693 --> 00:13:32,309
Jeremy Stiller.
286
00:13:32,403 --> 00:13:34,440
- Who are you?
- I work for Robert Zane.
287
00:13:34,530 --> 00:13:36,863
Well, I'm sorry Ms. Works
for Robert Zane,
288
00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:39,657
but this is private property.
I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
289
00:13:39,744 --> 00:13:41,576
I have to say,
it almost feels like you knew
290
00:13:41,662 --> 00:13:42,903
this encounter would happen.
291
00:13:42,997 --> 00:13:44,613
That's because
Alex Williams told me
292
00:13:44,707 --> 00:13:46,699
a man named Sam Wheeler
would be coming.
293
00:13:46,793 --> 00:13:48,187
Which means he was
resourceful enough
294
00:13:48,211 --> 00:13:50,272
to find out my name but didn't
have enough imagination
295
00:13:50,296 --> 00:13:51,416
to think I might be a woman.
296
00:13:51,464 --> 00:13:53,776
Well, he had enough imagination
to tell me not to take your call.
297
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,760
And he only did that because he's afraid
you might like what I have to say.
298
00:13:56,803 --> 00:13:59,796
Well, I don't. Even if I did,
I'm loyal to Specter Litt.
299
00:13:59,889 --> 00:14:03,053
Look, I'm sorry. Clearly we got off
on the wrong foot, but I...
300
00:14:03,142 --> 00:14:06,055
We did. Now if you don't mind,
I have work to do.
301
00:14:09,565 --> 00:14:11,227
I grew up poor.
302
00:14:11,317 --> 00:14:13,650
We lived on a farm and my only chance
of going to college
303
00:14:13,736 --> 00:14:16,228
was to get a scholarship,
which I did.
304
00:14:16,906 --> 00:14:21,492
Sophomore year, the company that funded
my scholarship went out of business.
305
00:14:21,577 --> 00:14:23,443
So I had a choice.
306
00:14:23,538 --> 00:14:25,951
Do it myself, or don't
do it at all.
307
00:14:27,917 --> 00:14:32,787
Since then, I have scratched and clawed
for everything I have ever had.
308
00:14:34,382 --> 00:14:35,793
Why are you telling me this?
309
00:14:35,883 --> 00:14:39,718
Because the details were different,
but I know the same thing happened to you.
310
00:14:41,305 --> 00:14:42,887
Please.
311
00:14:43,474 --> 00:14:46,638
All I'm asking is for you
to hear me out.
312
00:14:48,771 --> 00:14:50,137
Okay, I'll hear you out.
313
00:14:50,231 --> 00:14:52,974
But there's no way
I'm dropping my business.
314
00:14:56,404 --> 00:14:57,815
Donna, do you have a minute?
315
00:14:57,905 --> 00:14:59,925
Does this have to do with the
associates we're letting go?
316
00:14:59,949 --> 00:15:00,985
It does.
317
00:15:01,075 --> 00:15:03,303
And since I understand you'll be doing
exit interviews with them,
318
00:15:03,327 --> 00:15:05,193
I thought you should know
who's going.
319
00:15:06,164 --> 00:15:07,371
That's funny.
320
00:15:07,457 --> 00:15:09,059
That's not what I thought
you'd be asking.
321
00:15:09,083 --> 00:15:10,574
What do you mean?
322
00:15:10,668 --> 00:15:12,580
Katrina, are you sure
you're going to be okay
323
00:15:12,670 --> 00:15:14,957
firing people you've
worked with for years?
324
00:15:15,047 --> 00:15:16,847
I mean, I know you value
the firm, but this...
325
00:15:16,924 --> 00:15:18,540
I know it isn't going
to be easy, Donna.
326
00:15:18,634 --> 00:15:22,878
I was once let go from here too,
but I'll tell you what I told Louis.
327
00:15:22,972 --> 00:15:24,634
That if I'm going
to grow in my role here
328
00:15:24,724 --> 00:15:26,660
this is something I'm going
to have to learn to do.
329
00:15:26,684 --> 00:15:27,925
Fair enough.
330
00:15:29,854 --> 00:15:31,811
Hang on a second,
has Louis seen this list?
331
00:15:31,898 --> 00:15:33,014
No, why?
332
00:15:33,107 --> 00:15:35,085
There's a problem with the first name.
He's not gonna like it.
333
00:15:35,109 --> 00:15:36,190
I know that.
334
00:15:36,277 --> 00:15:39,111
Then I suggest you let him know
before you pull the trigger.
335
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,567
- I can't do that.
- Why not?
336
00:15:41,657 --> 00:15:43,899
Because this process
is supposed to be impartial.
337
00:15:43,993 --> 00:15:45,593
And if I tell Louis
who I'm going to fire
338
00:15:45,620 --> 00:15:47,848
just because he won't
like one of the names on the list...
339
00:15:47,872 --> 00:15:49,955
What won't I like?
340
00:15:51,834 --> 00:15:55,748
Louis, Katrina was just informing me
that it's not a good idea for you...
341
00:15:55,838 --> 00:15:57,750
What name?
342
00:15:58,090 --> 00:15:59,251
- Brian.
- Nope.
343
00:15:59,383 --> 00:16:01,716
- Louis.
- Donna, this is between Katrina and me.
344
00:16:01,802 --> 00:16:02,963
No, Louis, it isn't.
345
00:16:03,054 --> 00:16:05,046
This is about the firm
and its integrity.
346
00:16:05,139 --> 00:16:07,051
You asked me to come up
with an objective metric
347
00:16:07,141 --> 00:16:09,474
and by that metric,
Brain Altman has to go.
348
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,200
- So change the metric.
- I can't do that.
349
00:16:11,229 --> 00:16:13,721
And even if I could he'd be
just as likely to go down as go up.
350
00:16:13,814 --> 00:16:15,375
I understand that,
but I don't give a shit.
351
00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:16,560
- Anyone but Brian.
- Louis...
352
00:16:16,651 --> 00:16:18,859
Katrina, listen to me.
You asked for this responsibility
353
00:16:18,945 --> 00:16:20,982
so I gave it to you.
So now I am telling you
354
00:16:21,072 --> 00:16:23,439
to find a way to keep him.
355
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:27,568
Okay, Louis. I'll see
what I can do.
356
00:16:34,001 --> 00:16:35,208
Harvey, we need to talk.
357
00:16:35,294 --> 00:16:36,480
Don't tell me,
there's a problem.
358
00:16:36,504 --> 00:16:37,745
- There is.
- What is it now?
359
00:16:37,838 --> 00:16:39,045
It's not that big of a deal,
360
00:16:39,131 --> 00:16:40,859
but you're gonna have to figure out
what font to use
361
00:16:40,883 --> 00:16:42,249
to put my name
on the letterhead.
362
00:16:42,343 --> 00:16:44,426
Because as of 2:00 p.m. today,
Robert Zane's client
363
00:16:44,512 --> 00:16:46,674
is officially dropping
their manufacturing division.
364
00:16:46,764 --> 00:16:47,845
You telling me you did it?
365
00:16:47,932 --> 00:16:49,284
Signed, sealed,
and delivered, my man.
366
00:16:49,308 --> 00:16:50,702
Now let's get down
to figuring out...
367
00:16:50,726 --> 00:16:53,218
What? How to counter
my last move?
368
00:16:53,980 --> 00:16:55,499
Because you may have
them signed and sealed
369
00:16:55,523 --> 00:16:58,061
but I'm here to tell you your
delivery got lost on the way.
370
00:16:58,484 --> 00:17:00,521
- Who the hell are you?
- Her name is Sam Wheeler.
371
00:17:00,611 --> 00:17:02,147
Truth be told, Alex,
I prefer Samantha.
372
00:17:02,238 --> 00:17:03,399
You two know each other?
373
00:17:03,489 --> 00:17:05,050
No, but it doesn't
take a genius to figure out
374
00:17:05,074 --> 00:17:07,031
- she's Zane's guy.
- He didn't figure it out.
375
00:17:07,118 --> 00:17:09,451
What I figured out is,
whoever you are,
376
00:17:09,537 --> 00:17:11,324
if you think you can waltz
into my office...
377
00:17:11,414 --> 00:17:12,700
- Harvey, I got it.
- Do you?
378
00:17:12,790 --> 00:17:14,907
Because unless I'm
misreading the situation,
379
00:17:15,001 --> 00:17:16,663
- she's saying you don't.
- Harvey.
380
00:17:16,752 --> 00:17:19,620
You know what, you two are
obviously having some trouble.
381
00:17:19,714 --> 00:17:21,316
The good news is
you'll have plenty of time
382
00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:24,174
to work it out because
as of end of business today,
383
00:17:24,260 --> 00:17:27,094
your client is dropping
their manufacturing division.
384
00:17:27,179 --> 00:17:28,991
And we can get back to the
business of running this firm
385
00:17:29,015 --> 00:17:30,756
under the direction
of Robert Zane.
386
00:17:32,018 --> 00:17:34,761
You two have a nice...
You know I don't mean it.
387
00:17:38,357 --> 00:17:39,939
No.
388
00:17:40,151 --> 00:17:42,143
- What do you mean, no?
- I mean this is my fight.
389
00:17:42,236 --> 00:17:44,273
You asked me to fight it,
and I'm not gonna
390
00:17:44,363 --> 00:17:45,632
let you step into the middle
of Round 2.
391
00:17:45,656 --> 00:17:47,067
It may be the middle
of Round 2,
392
00:17:47,158 --> 00:17:49,320
but you just told me you got
a first round knock-out.
393
00:17:49,410 --> 00:17:51,242
Well, I was wrong.
But I'm still in the ring,
394
00:17:51,329 --> 00:17:53,390
my partnership's on the line,
and I'm not getting out.
395
00:17:53,414 --> 00:17:56,452
- Then you better win.
- Where you going?
396
00:17:57,001 --> 00:17:59,243
To pick a fight in my
own weight class.
397
00:18:03,883 --> 00:18:06,216
Robert, how are you?
Settling in all right?
398
00:18:06,302 --> 00:18:08,259
Doing just fine,
thanks for asking.
399
00:18:08,346 --> 00:18:09,632
What can I do for you?
400
00:18:09,722 --> 00:18:11,258
I just dropped by
to tell you I had
401
00:18:11,349 --> 00:18:13,261
an interesting conversation
with your girl, Sam.
402
00:18:13,351 --> 00:18:16,014
She's kicking
your ass, isn't she?
403
00:18:16,103 --> 00:18:17,514
Not mine.
Since neither of you
404
00:18:17,605 --> 00:18:19,205
had the balls to invite me
into the ring.
405
00:18:19,231 --> 00:18:20,517
Just like you didn't
invite me.
406
00:18:20,608 --> 00:18:23,066
And don't give me any of this
nonsense about we had a deal.
407
00:18:23,152 --> 00:18:24,939
Because you broke it
just as fast as I did.
408
00:18:25,029 --> 00:18:27,863
I did, but my issue isn't that
she's fighting your battles for you.
409
00:18:27,948 --> 00:18:31,783
It's that she walked into my office like
I wasn't the managing partner of this firm.
410
00:18:32,036 --> 00:18:34,949
And I didn't like the way
she introduced herself to me either.
411
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:38,203
But that's not what your issue is.
You're pissed.
412
00:18:38,292 --> 00:18:40,625
Because I didn't get
in the ring myself.
413
00:18:40,711 --> 00:18:42,481
Because if I'm not in there,
you're not in there.
414
00:18:42,505 --> 00:18:44,246
And you can't stand not
being in there.
415
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:47,674
Are you saying I always have to shoot?
Because I'm fine passing the ball.
416
00:18:47,802 --> 00:18:49,134
I'm talking about
being a coach.
417
00:18:49,220 --> 00:18:51,428
And if you were one, you
wouldn't mind
418
00:18:51,514 --> 00:18:53,354
just sitting back
and watching Samantha Wheeler
419
00:18:53,391 --> 00:18:54,507
eat your boy for breakfast.
420
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,434
And if you think that's gonna happen,
you don't know Alex Williams.
421
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,557
Oh, I know that's what's
gonna happen.
422
00:18:59,647 --> 00:19:01,934
And the person you don't know
is Harvey Specter.
423
00:19:02,024 --> 00:19:03,435
I know myself just fine.
424
00:19:03,526 --> 00:19:05,326
Then tell me you'll stay
the hell out of this.
425
00:19:05,361 --> 00:19:08,195
No problem, I just gave
Alex my word I'd stay out.
426
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,259
And what kind of managing partner
would I be if I couldn't live up to my word.
427
00:19:11,283 --> 00:19:12,636
Because, just so
we're clear, Robert,
428
00:19:12,660 --> 00:19:15,152
- I am managing partner.
- Whatever you say, Harvey.
429
00:19:15,246 --> 00:19:18,865
But remember, you didn't only give your
word to Alex Williams anymore.
430
00:19:18,958 --> 00:19:21,075
You just gave your word to me.
431
00:19:30,636 --> 00:19:35,802
And the next thing I knew,
there were peas everywhere!
432
00:19:36,225 --> 00:19:40,094
On me, on the wall,
everywhere but in his mouth.
433
00:19:40,187 --> 00:19:43,146
- I'm telling you, it was...
- Disgusting.
434
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:46,437
I was gonna say adorable,
but...
435
00:19:47,528 --> 00:19:49,144
Anyway, this is nice.
436
00:19:49,238 --> 00:19:51,150
Katrina, I'm glad
you suggested lunch.
437
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,323
So tell me, Brian.
438
00:19:53,409 --> 00:19:55,867
Do you think that
having a baby
439
00:19:55,953 --> 00:19:57,865
has made you more productive
in the workplace?
440
00:19:57,955 --> 00:19:59,912
- Are you kidding me?
- I see.
441
00:19:59,999 --> 00:20:01,740
Then what
about your efficiency?
442
00:20:01,834 --> 00:20:04,292
I understand children
sometimes necessitate
443
00:20:04,378 --> 00:20:05,744
better time management skills.
444
00:20:05,838 --> 00:20:07,524
For my wife, maybe.
But to tell you the truth,
445
00:20:07,548 --> 00:20:09,039
I'm all over the place.
446
00:20:09,133 --> 00:20:11,716
Then what would you say
are the areas where you do excel?
447
00:20:12,094 --> 00:20:15,303
- With my son?
- No, Brian. At work.
448
00:20:15,848 --> 00:20:17,464
Oh, my God.
Am I getting fired?
449
00:20:17,558 --> 00:20:18,799
What? No.
450
00:20:18,893 --> 00:20:21,886
We were just talking about babies,
and it got me thinking...
451
00:20:21,979 --> 00:20:23,936
About my time
management skills?
452
00:20:24,023 --> 00:20:26,060
Katrina, don't lie to me.
I've heard the rumors.
453
00:20:26,150 --> 00:20:28,608
Am I one of the ones
being let go from the merger?
454
00:20:28,694 --> 00:20:31,402
You heard right, Brian.
We are making some cuts.
455
00:20:31,489 --> 00:20:33,230
But you should know
the decisions were based
456
00:20:33,365 --> 00:20:35,106
on completely objective data.
457
00:20:35,201 --> 00:20:37,944
Completely objective?
I work my ass off for this firm.
458
00:20:38,204 --> 00:20:39,681
Well, your numbers certainly
don't show that.
459
00:20:39,705 --> 00:20:41,321
- My numbers?
- Yes, your numbers.
460
00:20:41,415 --> 00:20:43,122
The thing that indicates
how hard you work.
461
00:20:43,209 --> 00:20:44,495
I don't believe this.
462
00:20:44,585 --> 00:20:47,077
You know what, maybe people
were right about you.
463
00:20:47,171 --> 00:20:48,287
What does that mean?
464
00:20:48,380 --> 00:20:51,589
It means they say you're cold
and all you care about is your job.
465
00:20:51,675 --> 00:20:54,463
Well, maybe they're right.
Maybe you are a robot.
466
00:20:54,553 --> 00:20:57,421
- How dare you say that to me.
- How dare I say that to you?
467
00:20:57,515 --> 00:20:59,598
I've been showing you
pictures of my child,
468
00:20:59,683 --> 00:21:02,096
and the whole time you've
just been waiting to fire me.
469
00:21:02,186 --> 00:21:03,413
What kind of person
would do that?
470
00:21:03,437 --> 00:21:05,599
You know what,
the kind of person
471
00:21:05,689 --> 00:21:09,558
who's been trying
to figure out how to save your job.
472
00:21:09,902 --> 00:21:13,612
But I haven't heard one thing
that I can use to justify keeping you.
473
00:21:13,697 --> 00:21:16,280
So as far as I'm concerned,
you're fired.
474
00:21:23,123 --> 00:21:24,989
Louis, can I talk to you
for second?
475
00:21:25,084 --> 00:21:26,370
Course, what do you need?
476
00:21:26,460 --> 00:21:27,729
I have something I want
to run by you.
477
00:21:27,753 --> 00:21:29,022
I need to know if you think
it'll work.
478
00:21:29,046 --> 00:21:30,082
What's going on?
479
00:21:30,172 --> 00:21:32,317
Harvey's trying to get Zane's client
to drop their division, not ours.
480
00:21:32,341 --> 00:21:33,581
And Zane's doing
the same thing.
481
00:21:33,634 --> 00:21:35,466
Let me guess, you're
on Team Harvey.
482
00:21:35,553 --> 00:21:37,761
- Exactly.
- What's your plan?
483
00:21:50,276 --> 00:21:51,392
Well?
484
00:21:52,444 --> 00:21:53,810
I love it.
485
00:21:53,904 --> 00:21:55,131
You don't think there's
an end around for her
486
00:21:55,155 --> 00:21:56,800
- with an injunction?
- The only way she could do
487
00:21:56,824 --> 00:21:58,009
that if she filed
an ex-parte motion.
488
00:21:58,033 --> 00:21:59,302
Which she can't do
retroactively.
489
00:21:59,326 --> 00:22:00,988
Alex, this is brilliant.
490
00:22:01,078 --> 00:22:03,786
- Do you need help filing it?
- No, Louis. I already did.
491
00:22:03,998 --> 00:22:07,036
I was checking to make sure
I didn't miss anything.
492
00:22:07,126 --> 00:22:08,583
Hey, Alex.
493
00:22:08,669 --> 00:22:11,127
Harvey told me that
you thought I was still mad at you
494
00:22:11,213 --> 00:22:13,125
because I didn't come to you
about Zane.
495
00:22:13,215 --> 00:22:16,959
That's not true. As far as I'm concerned,
you are on our side. You always will be.
496
00:22:17,052 --> 00:22:20,295
When the time comes,
I'll back you as name partner.
497
00:22:20,681 --> 00:22:22,468
I appreciate that, Louis.
498
00:22:22,558 --> 00:22:23,639
Go get'em.
499
00:22:33,027 --> 00:22:34,547
Hey, Brian, I was just
about to come...
500
00:22:34,612 --> 00:22:36,854
- See me? Bullshit.
- What do you mean bullshit?
501
00:22:36,947 --> 00:22:39,314
I mean there's no way
you were gonna come see me
502
00:22:39,408 --> 00:22:41,720
because you didn't even have
the balls to fire me to my face.
503
00:22:41,744 --> 00:22:43,485
What? Brian,
nobody's firing you.
504
00:22:43,579 --> 00:22:44,820
You're gonna look me
in the eye
505
00:22:44,914 --> 00:22:47,201
and tell me that Katrina
didn't run her numbers
506
00:22:47,291 --> 00:22:50,034
and determine that I don't work
hard enough to serve this firm?
507
00:22:50,127 --> 00:22:51,354
- No, that's not...
- You know what?
508
00:22:51,378 --> 00:22:53,098
If you'd at least come
and told me yourself,
509
00:22:53,172 --> 00:22:54,774
but why should I expect
something like that?
510
00:22:54,798 --> 00:22:57,381
After all, it's not like you
ever held my newborn son.
511
00:22:57,468 --> 00:23:00,051
Brian, please wait.
512
00:23:01,180 --> 00:23:03,672
I told Katrina to find
a way to keep you
513
00:23:03,766 --> 00:23:07,305
because I believe that you are
more than worthy of serving this firm.
514
00:23:07,478 --> 00:23:10,266
And I do care about you
and that is the truth.
515
00:23:10,356 --> 00:23:12,222
Yeah, well, maybe you did
tell her all that,
516
00:23:12,316 --> 00:23:14,273
but it didn't stop her
from firing me anyway.
517
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:15,680
- Brian...
- You know what, Louis?
518
00:23:15,736 --> 00:23:18,506
If you need me, I'll be spending
the next two days getting my files in order.
519
00:23:18,530 --> 00:23:20,647
Because contrary to
Katrina's analysis,
520
00:23:20,866 --> 00:23:23,734
I care about my clients,
and I'm a damn good lawyer.
521
00:23:34,964 --> 00:23:37,957
- Louis, before you say...
- What the fuck is your problem?
522
00:23:38,050 --> 00:23:40,167
I gave you an order
and you blatantly ignored me.
523
00:23:40,260 --> 00:23:41,296
I didn't ignore you.
524
00:23:41,387 --> 00:23:44,551
Then what do you call firing Brian
when I specifically told you not to?
525
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,882
Listen to me, I tried
not to fire him.
526
00:23:47,142 --> 00:23:49,384
- I took him to lunch, and we...
- Oh, good, lunch.
527
00:23:49,478 --> 00:23:50,956
I hope the chicken potpie
was delicious.
528
00:23:50,980 --> 00:23:53,688
- You still didn't do what I asked.
- You know what?
529
00:23:53,774 --> 00:23:55,766
I did do what you
originally asked.
530
00:23:55,859 --> 00:23:59,523
To objectively evaluate the associates.
Not coddle your teacher's pet.
531
00:23:59,613 --> 00:24:00,854
Screw what I originally asked.
532
00:24:00,948 --> 00:24:04,567
I told you to rejigger the metrics
to keep a valued associate.
533
00:24:04,660 --> 00:24:07,949
You think fudging the numbers wasn't
the first thing I tried? It didn't work.
534
00:24:08,038 --> 00:24:10,405
- He always came out too low.
- I don't care.
535
00:24:10,499 --> 00:24:12,536
Well, I do.
Because I care about this firm.
536
00:24:12,626 --> 00:24:14,788
And what kind of message
does rejiggering the metrics
537
00:24:14,878 --> 00:24:17,791
send to the associates
who work 100 hours a week,
538
00:24:17,881 --> 00:24:19,873
who eat dinner here
every night,
539
00:24:19,967 --> 00:24:22,801
who don't even go on dates,
let alone have a baby.
540
00:24:22,886 --> 00:24:25,253
I don't care what message
it sends, Katrina.
541
00:24:25,347 --> 00:24:27,134
Brian is staying.
542
00:24:27,224 --> 00:24:29,307
Then you figure out
who goes instead.
543
00:24:29,393 --> 00:24:31,393
Because I'm not doing something
I don't believe in.
544
00:24:31,437 --> 00:24:35,021
No, Katrina. I told you once
and I'm telling you again.
545
00:24:35,107 --> 00:24:37,645
You asked for this job,
you are doing it.
546
00:24:50,789 --> 00:24:53,372
Harvey. You need
to take a look at this.
547
00:24:53,459 --> 00:24:54,995
- What is it?
- It just came in.
548
00:24:55,085 --> 00:24:57,045
It's a proposed contract
of sale for Clavatin's...
549
00:24:57,087 --> 00:24:59,204
Manufacturing division.
Son of a bitch.
550
00:24:59,298 --> 00:25:02,791
I need to find out where Judge Thomas is,
and I need to find out now.
551
00:25:02,885 --> 00:25:05,005
Harvey, you can't do this
without Alex. It's his case.
552
00:25:05,095 --> 00:25:07,712
Then why the hell are you
the one telling me this and not him?
553
00:25:07,806 --> 00:25:10,618
Because he's probably out there fighting
because he thinks he can still win.
554
00:25:10,642 --> 00:25:13,976
Well, he's got one thing right.
We can still win. But he can't.
555
00:25:14,063 --> 00:25:15,895
And if you cut him out,
you won't win either.
556
00:25:15,981 --> 00:25:17,500
You think I can't take
Samantha Wheeler?
557
00:25:17,524 --> 00:25:19,231
I think you said you'd stay
out of it.
558
00:25:19,318 --> 00:25:21,731
And if you take over now
without even telling Alex,
559
00:25:21,820 --> 00:25:23,882
then you can find out where
Judge Thomas is yourself.
560
00:25:23,906 --> 00:25:27,149
Because I'm not gonna help you
tell your own team that you'll cut them out
561
00:25:27,242 --> 00:25:28,595
just to get the better
of Samantha Wheeler.
562
00:25:28,619 --> 00:25:30,611
Look, you want to tell Alex
what I'm doing?
563
00:25:30,704 --> 00:25:35,074
Go ahead. I am not about to sit
on the sidelines and watch us lose.
564
00:25:36,668 --> 00:25:38,159
Harvey.
565
00:25:39,922 --> 00:25:42,289
I'm only gonna ask you
this once.
566
00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:48,174
Is there a chance that you're overreacting
to Mike having just left?
567
00:25:48,263 --> 00:25:52,633
I don't know, Donna.
But to tell you the truth, I don't care.
568
00:25:54,019 --> 00:25:55,806
Okay.
569
00:25:55,896 --> 00:25:57,387
You win.
570
00:25:59,233 --> 00:26:01,190
I'll find out where
Judge Thomas is.
571
00:26:14,123 --> 00:26:16,365
Heavy is the head.
572
00:26:16,875 --> 00:26:19,367
Especially when
what has to be done is unjust.
573
00:26:19,670 --> 00:26:22,583
You still don't think that
Brian deserves to stay, do you?
574
00:26:22,673 --> 00:26:23,914
No, I don't.
575
00:26:24,007 --> 00:26:25,567
And when I told Louis
that it would send
576
00:26:25,634 --> 00:26:27,591
the wrong kind of message
to the people who work
577
00:26:27,678 --> 00:26:31,388
their asses off for this firm
a lot more than Brian,
578
00:26:31,473 --> 00:26:33,214
he said he didn't give a shit.
579
00:26:33,308 --> 00:26:34,515
I see.
580
00:26:35,269 --> 00:26:36,885
And what Louis didn't
understand was
581
00:26:36,979 --> 00:26:39,813
that the people you're talking
about weren't just people.
582
00:26:39,940 --> 00:26:41,977
- It was you.
- How could you...
583
00:26:42,067 --> 00:26:43,979
Because I know what it's like
to give everything
584
00:26:44,069 --> 00:26:45,480
and still be taken
for granted.
585
00:26:45,571 --> 00:26:49,565
And for what it's worth, I think
Louis was wrong to say what he did.
586
00:26:50,075 --> 00:26:52,283
But he isn't wrong
about Brian.
587
00:26:52,369 --> 00:26:54,531
- Well, I don't agree.
- I understand that.
588
00:26:54,621 --> 00:26:56,683
Probably has something to do
with why you told Harvey
589
00:26:56,707 --> 00:26:58,414
that I shouldn't
be made partner last year.
590
00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:01,038
- You knew about that?
- I do now.
591
00:27:01,628 --> 00:27:03,335
- Donna, it wasn't...
- Tell me.
592
00:27:03,422 --> 00:27:04,833
You ran all the numbers
for Louis,
593
00:27:04,923 --> 00:27:07,631
who are the top five most
efficient associates?
594
00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:12,504
Jesse, Sarah, Ryan, Carl,
and Gina.
595
00:27:12,681 --> 00:27:14,764
- Where does Brian sit?
- Right here.
596
00:27:14,850 --> 00:27:18,139
Right here in the center
of those five people?
597
00:27:18,228 --> 00:27:20,265
Do you think that's a
coincidence?
598
00:27:20,522 --> 00:27:22,138
- I had...
- Katrina.
599
00:27:22,232 --> 00:27:24,770
What you have yet to learn
is that there are players
600
00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:28,024
who never put up great stats,
but you keep them around
601
00:27:28,113 --> 00:27:30,571
because they make
the people around them better.
602
00:27:30,657 --> 00:27:33,240
Are you talking about
Brian or you?
603
00:27:33,327 --> 00:27:35,660
I'm talking about both.
604
00:27:35,746 --> 00:27:38,363
- So what do I do?
- You do what you said you'd do.
605
00:27:38,457 --> 00:27:41,245
You evaluate the associates.
606
00:27:41,335 --> 00:27:43,702
Only this time, do it better.
607
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,002
I'm sorry, Donna.
608
00:27:51,637 --> 00:27:53,173
I shouldn't have gone
to Harvey.
609
00:27:53,263 --> 00:27:55,255
It's okay, Katrina.
610
00:27:55,515 --> 00:27:57,598
COO is where I'm meant to be.
611
00:28:03,232 --> 00:28:05,269
- Harvey.
- Alex,
612
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,559
- before you say anything...
- No, you gave me your word
613
00:28:07,611 --> 00:28:09,102
that you were gonna stay
out of this.
614
00:28:09,196 --> 00:28:10,632
The next thing I know,
you're having a meeting
615
00:28:10,656 --> 00:28:11,863
about my client without me.
616
00:28:11,949 --> 00:28:13,986
- First of all, it's my client.
- And it's my case.
617
00:28:14,076 --> 00:28:15,567
Which you were about to lose.
618
00:28:15,661 --> 00:28:17,197
- It was a setback.
- Bullshit.
619
00:28:17,287 --> 00:28:18,556
You were getting your ass
kicked.
620
00:28:18,580 --> 00:28:20,183
- And don't tell me you weren't.
- God damn it, Harvey.
621
00:28:20,207 --> 00:28:22,119
Listen to me, Alex.
This woman is no joke.
622
00:28:22,209 --> 00:28:23,700
You saying I am?
623
00:28:23,961 --> 00:28:26,624
I'm saying I just met
with Judge Thomas,
624
00:28:26,713 --> 00:28:29,296
so I know exactly what it's
gonna take to beat her.
625
00:28:29,383 --> 00:28:31,921
So the hell what? I can play
dirty just as well as you.
626
00:28:32,010 --> 00:28:33,922
Maybe you can,
but I gave you a promise
627
00:28:34,012 --> 00:28:35,219
to put your name on the wall.
628
00:28:35,305 --> 00:28:38,013
And if you play dirty to beat
Robert Zane's right hand,
629
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:39,953
- it isn't gonna happen.
- You know what I think?
630
00:28:39,977 --> 00:28:41,684
That sounds like
some bullshit by a guy
631
00:28:41,770 --> 00:28:43,890
who's just gonna do what
he wants like he always does.
632
00:28:43,939 --> 00:28:47,273
What I want, Alex,
is to stay managing partner.
633
00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:48,461
This is the way
that's gonna happen.
634
00:28:48,485 --> 00:28:49,976
- Harvey, I...
- That's enough.
635
00:28:50,070 --> 00:28:52,653
I'm taking it from here.
It's done.
636
00:29:06,295 --> 00:29:08,252
Katrina, I've got a lot
on my plate this morning.
637
00:29:08,338 --> 00:29:09,374
So if you don't mind...
638
00:29:09,464 --> 00:29:12,081
You just want your morning
coffee, I know.
639
00:29:12,884 --> 00:29:15,297
Was that part of your
efficiency evaluations?
640
00:29:15,387 --> 00:29:17,504
People's coffee consumption?
641
00:29:17,597 --> 00:29:20,465
Look, Brian, I was wrong
about you.
642
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:24,724
I understand what you do for the firm
and I'm sorry for the things I said.
643
00:29:24,980 --> 00:29:27,563
Well, I appreciate that,
but if you're just saying this
644
00:29:27,649 --> 00:29:30,062
- because Louis told you to...
- No, I'm not.
645
00:29:30,402 --> 00:29:32,234
And he didn't.
646
00:29:33,989 --> 00:29:35,776
Then why are
you saying it?
647
00:29:35,866 --> 00:29:38,950
Because I took this assignment
hoping that it would help me grow.
648
00:29:39,036 --> 00:29:41,403
And if I can't ask for help
when I need it,
649
00:29:41,496 --> 00:29:44,239
then I have even more growing
to do than I thought.
650
00:29:44,541 --> 00:29:45,873
What do you mean ask for help?
651
00:29:45,959 --> 00:29:48,167
My evaluation of
the associates was flawed.
652
00:29:48,253 --> 00:29:50,961
It didn't take into account
intangibles,
653
00:29:51,298 --> 00:29:53,506
and I was hoping
you could help me fix that.
654
00:29:53,592 --> 00:29:55,194
You mean you want me
to help you figure out
655
00:29:55,218 --> 00:29:56,800
who to fire instead of me.
656
00:29:56,887 --> 00:29:58,114
No, Brian, that's not
what I meant.
657
00:29:58,138 --> 00:29:59,470
Yes, it is.
And I'm sure firing
658
00:29:59,556 --> 00:30:01,798
my fellow associates
is a value to the firm,
659
00:30:01,892 --> 00:30:03,724
but I'm not gonna
help you do it.
660
00:30:11,735 --> 00:30:14,773
- What the hell did you do?
- I didn't do anything.
661
00:30:14,863 --> 00:30:16,729
Well, except for the thing
that I did.
662
00:30:16,823 --> 00:30:17,983
You mean going
to Judge Thomas
663
00:30:18,033 --> 00:30:21,652
and having him allow fabricated testimony
to overrule my motion.
664
00:30:21,745 --> 00:30:24,783
It wasn't fabricated,
but it sure as hell was allowed.
665
00:30:24,873 --> 00:30:26,476
And how exactly
did you get him to do that?
666
00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:28,537
You know how I did it,
or you don't.
667
00:30:28,710 --> 00:30:30,747
And if you don't, well,
I'm not about
668
00:30:30,837 --> 00:30:32,328
to open up my playbook
and show you.
669
00:30:32,422 --> 00:30:35,790
Well, Mr. Slick, I don't give a shit
how you did it. I'm going to undo it
670
00:30:35,884 --> 00:30:37,216
because this is isn't over.
671
00:30:37,302 --> 00:30:38,742
- Yes, it is.
- We'll see about that.
672
00:30:38,804 --> 00:30:41,672
No, we won't. Because I'm
giving you a direct order.
673
00:30:42,057 --> 00:30:45,801
You are not to take any action to affect
the outcome of this situation.
674
00:30:45,894 --> 00:30:47,635
And you can give me
all the orders you want.
675
00:30:47,729 --> 00:30:50,938
The only person I answer
to is Robert Zane.
676
00:30:51,024 --> 00:30:53,016
So if you want to stop
what I'm about to do,
677
00:30:53,110 --> 00:30:55,443
you better talk to him
before I goddamn do it.
678
00:30:55,946 --> 00:30:59,030
- Don't you walk away from me.
- Kiss my ass.
679
00:31:03,036 --> 00:31:06,746
All right, Robert. I have been patient,
but it's over, and I've won.
680
00:31:06,832 --> 00:31:08,164
Call off the dogs.
681
00:31:08,250 --> 00:31:09,560
What the hell did you
just say to me?
682
00:31:09,584 --> 00:31:11,396
I said call off the dogs.
I'm not gonna have someone
683
00:31:11,420 --> 00:31:13,460
inside my own firm who
doesn't know when she's lost.
684
00:31:13,505 --> 00:31:16,714
The only one in here who doesn't know
that they've lost is you.
685
00:31:16,842 --> 00:31:18,549
I didn't lose shit.
686
00:31:18,635 --> 00:31:20,655
And if you think I might,
why don't you pick up the phone
687
00:31:20,679 --> 00:31:22,341
and call Judge Thomas
right now?
688
00:31:22,431 --> 00:31:23,616
I'm not talking
about Judge Thomas.
689
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:24,867
Then what the hell
are you talking about?
690
00:31:24,891 --> 00:31:26,369
I'm talking about the fact
that you stood right here
691
00:31:26,393 --> 00:31:29,056
and gave your word that you
would stay out of this thing.
692
00:31:29,312 --> 00:31:30,598
And not only did you break it,
693
00:31:30,689 --> 00:31:33,022
now you're in here
trying to drag me into it.
694
00:31:33,316 --> 00:31:35,399
Nothing to say? That's right.
695
00:31:35,485 --> 00:31:37,755
You may have won the battle,
but you lost the goddamn war.
696
00:31:37,779 --> 00:31:39,771
Because you just showed
this entire firm
697
00:31:39,865 --> 00:31:41,606
only one of us is managing
partner material.
698
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:43,362
And it isn't you.
699
00:31:44,327 --> 00:31:47,536
This is my firm, and I'm not gonna
let you take it.
700
00:31:47,622 --> 00:31:50,456
I'm gonna let you in
on a little secret, Harvey.
701
00:31:50,542 --> 00:31:51,703
I already have.
702
00:31:52,294 --> 00:31:55,708
Now, why don't you let
that rattle around for a little while,
703
00:31:55,797 --> 00:31:58,915
and then come back when
you're ready to tell me that I'm right.
704
00:32:11,521 --> 00:32:13,262
You can come in, you know.
705
00:32:13,356 --> 00:32:15,188
- Sorry, I didn't mean to...
- Yes, you did.
706
00:32:15,275 --> 00:32:17,835
You just wanted to let me
finish whatever I was in the middle of.
707
00:32:18,111 --> 00:32:19,443
Not bad.
708
00:32:19,529 --> 00:32:21,065
Thank you.
You're welcome.
709
00:32:21,281 --> 00:32:24,149
No, I mean, thanks for sticking
up for me with Katrina.
710
00:32:24,242 --> 00:32:26,700
- You figured it out.
- I did.
711
00:32:27,954 --> 00:32:29,786
I was right about you.
712
00:32:29,873 --> 00:32:30,975
Aren't you right
about everybody?
713
00:32:30,999 --> 00:32:33,457
Yeah, pretty much.
714
00:32:33,543 --> 00:32:37,036
And now I have something
else to be right about.
715
00:32:38,006 --> 00:32:39,668
Katrina needs your help.
716
00:32:39,758 --> 00:32:41,465
Maybe she does,
but if I'd thought
717
00:32:41,551 --> 00:32:45,465
about the fact that me staying would mean
someone I care about might get fired,
718
00:32:45,555 --> 00:32:47,968
I wouldn't have gone
to Louis in the first place.
719
00:32:48,058 --> 00:32:50,596
And that, right there, is the reason
we were right to keep you.
720
00:32:50,685 --> 00:32:52,642
And as I see it,
721
00:32:52,729 --> 00:32:55,392
you can either help Katrina
make the right decision,
722
00:32:55,482 --> 00:32:58,316
or live with the fact that
she might make the wrong one.
723
00:32:58,401 --> 00:33:00,063
Like she almost did
with you.
724
00:33:15,961 --> 00:33:17,247
Harvey, what can I do for you?
725
00:33:17,337 --> 00:33:19,106
I'll tell you what
you should have done for me.
726
00:33:19,130 --> 00:33:21,087
Stop me from taking
the case from Alex.
727
00:33:21,174 --> 00:33:22,961
And if you recall,
that's what I tried to do.
728
00:33:23,093 --> 00:33:25,404
- And then you changed your mind.
- Because I listened to you.
729
00:33:25,428 --> 00:33:27,920
Well, you picked a hell of
a time to start doing that
730
00:33:28,014 --> 00:33:29,175
because Zane set me up.
731
00:33:29,266 --> 00:33:30,346
I don't care what Zane did,
732
00:33:30,392 --> 00:33:31,869
you went after her
because it's who you are.
733
00:33:31,893 --> 00:33:33,930
And you're supposed to be
saving me from myself.
734
00:33:34,062 --> 00:33:36,725
- Which is exactly what I did.
- How the hell do you figure that?
735
00:33:36,856 --> 00:33:39,724
- Harvey, Mike left.
- What does that have to do with this?
736
00:33:39,818 --> 00:33:42,902
It has everything to do with it.
Because the reason he left is
737
00:33:42,988 --> 00:33:45,401
because he finally
came to terms with who he is.
738
00:33:46,408 --> 00:33:47,944
And now that he's gone,
739
00:33:48,034 --> 00:33:50,492
who you are is a man
who wants back in the game.
740
00:33:50,954 --> 00:33:53,947
Don't you see, you've been
to the top of the mountain.
741
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:58,375
You've proved you can do it,
and you may not want to admit it,
742
00:33:58,670 --> 00:34:02,880
but you're getting tired of
just sitting up there, enjoying the view.
743
00:34:02,966 --> 00:34:06,550
Donna, how's it gonna look to
the rest of the world if I step down?
744
00:34:06,636 --> 00:34:10,175
I'll tell you how.
Like no other firm can touch us.
745
00:34:10,265 --> 00:34:15,477
Not with you and Robert doing what
everybody knows you were meant to do.
746
00:34:15,562 --> 00:34:17,679
And by that...
747
00:34:17,772 --> 00:34:21,891
I mean pulling off the kind of shit that
only Harvey Specter can do.
748
00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:40,618
- Katrina. You wanted to see me?
- Yes.
749
00:34:40,712 --> 00:34:42,749
Bridget, please sit down.
750
00:34:50,722 --> 00:34:53,009
Am I getting fired?
751
00:34:53,099 --> 00:34:55,637
Yes. I'm afraid you are.
752
00:34:55,727 --> 00:35:00,188
Katrina, I know we merged,
but I have a ton of student debt.
753
00:35:00,273 --> 00:35:04,984
My landlord just
raised my rent,
754
00:35:05,070 --> 00:35:07,813
and I promised to pay for
my nephew's daycare
755
00:35:07,906 --> 00:35:10,398
so my sister could go back
to school.
756
00:35:10,492 --> 00:35:12,449
Please.
757
00:35:12,535 --> 00:35:17,155
There's got to be something I
can do to get a second chance.
758
00:35:20,752 --> 00:35:23,995
I'm sorry, Bridget, but the
decision's already been made.
759
00:35:26,883 --> 00:35:28,795
I do wish you
the best of luck.
760
00:35:50,824 --> 00:35:53,817
You know, life was simpler
when this was my office.
761
00:35:53,910 --> 00:35:56,118
As I understand,
when you were in this office
762
00:35:56,204 --> 00:35:59,493
you almost went to prison
for Mike Ross.
763
00:36:00,667 --> 00:36:03,125
I don't see what was
simpler about that.
764
00:36:03,211 --> 00:36:05,203
Yeah, you do.
765
00:36:06,589 --> 00:36:08,626
Robert, you said
that I should come back
766
00:36:08,717 --> 00:36:11,676
when I was ready to admit
that you were right.
767
00:36:12,220 --> 00:36:14,758
Well, I'm back.
768
00:36:14,848 --> 00:36:18,842
Takes a big man to admit that,
Harvey.
769
00:36:18,935 --> 00:36:20,676
I appreciate it.
770
00:36:20,770 --> 00:36:22,762
You're not gonna
try to hug me, are you?
771
00:36:22,856 --> 00:36:26,395
I don't know what goes on between you
and Louis, but I'll pass.
772
00:36:27,652 --> 00:36:29,814
Then I guess this is
the part where I make
773
00:36:29,904 --> 00:36:33,022
my first humble request
to my fearless leader.
774
00:36:33,533 --> 00:36:37,152
That took about two seconds.
Let's hear it.
775
00:36:38,455 --> 00:36:40,572
My office.
776
00:36:41,249 --> 00:36:44,413
- What about it?
- I want it back.
777
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:51,040
In that case, your
fearless leader is happy to comply.
778
00:36:57,223 --> 00:36:59,840
What do you say we go out
and grab those burgers?
779
00:36:59,934 --> 00:37:01,926
Not tonight,
but we will.
780
00:37:02,020 --> 00:37:04,979
I still have something
I have to take care of.
781
00:37:15,492 --> 00:37:18,155
- You were right.
- About what?
782
00:37:18,244 --> 00:37:21,237
It wasn't easy firing
those people.
783
00:37:21,331 --> 00:37:24,745
- So it's done?
- It's done.
784
00:37:24,959 --> 00:37:28,293
You mind if I ask if Brian ended
up helping with this list?
785
00:37:28,379 --> 00:37:29,665
He did.
786
00:37:29,756 --> 00:37:32,214
And you were right
about him, too.
787
00:37:32,300 --> 00:37:35,964
Well, as long as we're
handing out "you were rights,"
788
00:37:36,054 --> 00:37:39,092
you were right about being
the one to let those people go.
789
00:37:39,182 --> 00:37:40,451
You mean it's good
for my growth.
790
00:37:40,475 --> 00:37:43,263
No, I mean, I'm glad I didn't
have to do it. It sucks.
791
00:37:47,190 --> 00:37:50,058
Hey, you want to grab
a drink or something?
792
00:37:50,151 --> 00:37:52,393
- I'd love to.
- Katrina.
793
00:37:52,570 --> 00:37:54,186
Robert.
794
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,317
Give me a second with Red here,
will you?
795
00:37:56,407 --> 00:37:59,445
Of course. I'll be
in my office.
796
00:37:59,536 --> 00:38:01,277
Am I in trouble?
797
00:38:01,371 --> 00:38:03,078
Why, you do something wrong?
798
00:38:03,164 --> 00:38:06,373
I guess that depends
on what you mean by wrong.
799
00:38:06,459 --> 00:38:08,667
I'm not here because
you're in trouble.
800
00:38:08,753 --> 00:38:12,042
I'm here because Harvey
just asked me to swap offices,
801
00:38:12,131 --> 00:38:15,420
and then he told I was right.
802
00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:18,719
And I doubt those words have
ever come out of that man's mouth
803
00:38:18,805 --> 00:38:21,092
without first having
a conversation with you.
804
00:38:21,182 --> 00:38:22,284
You sound pretty sure
of yourself
805
00:38:22,308 --> 00:38:24,119
for a man who's only been here
about ten minutes.
806
00:38:24,143 --> 00:38:27,636
You think Rachel didn't tell her father
about the mighty Donna Paulsen?
807
00:38:29,065 --> 00:38:32,274
Guess I never thought of her
as much of a chatterbox.
808
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,478
Then again, she did tell me
about the time that you took...
809
00:38:35,572 --> 00:38:37,780
I, I... Whatever it is.
Just remember,
810
00:38:37,866 --> 00:38:39,198
once you say it out loud,
811
00:38:39,284 --> 00:38:41,004
we can never pretend
that you don't know it.
812
00:38:41,077 --> 00:38:46,197
And that, Robert Lucas Zane,
is why you are managing partner.
813
00:38:47,250 --> 00:38:50,584
- Good night, Donna.
- Good night, Robert.
814
00:38:55,383 --> 00:38:58,467
You really have no concept
of boundaries, do you?
815
00:38:58,803 --> 00:39:01,170
You know, most people
would be here to tell you
816
00:39:01,264 --> 00:39:03,347
they think we got off
on the wrong foot.
817
00:39:03,433 --> 00:39:06,551
But I'm here to say
we got off on the right one.
818
00:39:06,644 --> 00:39:08,135
And what foot is that?
819
00:39:08,229 --> 00:39:10,165
The one where you and I discover
we're not so different after all.
820
00:39:10,189 --> 00:39:12,055
I don't think I'm anything
like you.
821
00:39:12,150 --> 00:39:13,766
You are. Right down
to the fact
822
00:39:13,860 --> 00:39:16,068
that we both grew up in
Riverside, New York.
823
00:39:16,154 --> 00:39:18,646
Which is why we'll both
always feel like outsiders
824
00:39:18,740 --> 00:39:20,823
no matter how much
we earn their respect.
825
00:39:20,909 --> 00:39:24,949
- How do you know that about me?
- Because I do my homework.
826
00:39:25,038 --> 00:39:27,530
Maybe we are alike.
827
00:39:27,624 --> 00:39:29,115
That's all I wanted to say.
828
00:39:29,208 --> 00:39:30,699
Except for one thing.
829
00:39:30,793 --> 00:39:33,501
You told Jeremy Stiller
that you grew up on a farm,
830
00:39:33,588 --> 00:39:37,047
and last I checked
there aren't any farms in Riverside.
831
00:39:37,133 --> 00:39:41,503
And that little observation is the reason
we got off on the right foot.
832
00:39:41,596 --> 00:39:42,632
I don't follow.
833
00:39:42,722 --> 00:39:43,908
There are three things
that happen
834
00:39:43,932 --> 00:39:45,844
when I tell different people
different stories.
835
00:39:45,934 --> 00:39:48,176
One, they don't recognize it.
836
00:39:48,269 --> 00:39:50,352
Which means I don't need
to worry about them.
837
00:39:50,438 --> 00:39:52,145
Two, they know I did it,
838
00:39:52,231 --> 00:39:53,792
but don't have the balls
to say anything.
839
00:39:53,816 --> 00:39:56,149
Which means I need to worry
about them even less.
840
00:39:56,235 --> 00:39:59,194
Or three, they call me on it.
841
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,897
And believe me,
three is my kind of guy.
842
00:40:03,326 --> 00:40:06,490
Well, in that case,
welcome to the firm.
843
00:40:07,121 --> 00:40:08,828
Glad to be here.
844
00:40:08,998 --> 00:40:11,832
Oh. And by the way,
I would have won.
845
00:40:27,058 --> 00:40:28,265
Alex.
846
00:40:28,351 --> 00:40:30,092
It's 10:00 at night,
what are you doing?
847
00:40:30,186 --> 00:40:32,289
I'm going through every one
of Samantha Wheeler's files.
848
00:40:32,313 --> 00:40:34,646
'Cause a fight's coming,
and I'm gonna be ready.
849
00:40:34,941 --> 00:40:36,773
Okay, listen to me.
850
00:40:37,151 --> 00:40:40,690
Because, believe me,
I've been where you are before.
851
00:40:41,447 --> 00:40:43,404
Don't start something
that you'll regret later.
852
00:40:43,491 --> 00:40:44,777
Then what am I supposed to do?
853
00:40:44,867 --> 00:40:47,985
How about you make a friend now
that you'll be happy about later.
854
00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:50,241
Are you crazy?
She's not looking to make friends.
855
00:40:50,331 --> 00:40:51,697
Maybe not, but, Alex,
listen to me.
856
00:40:51,791 --> 00:40:53,551
In the long run,
this woman is going nowhere.
857
00:40:53,751 --> 00:40:56,459
You got Harvey and me on your side.
You get the trifecta,
858
00:40:56,546 --> 00:40:59,209
I don't care what she does.
Never gonna beat you again.
859
00:40:59,298 --> 00:41:01,506
Are you suggesting
I kiss Robert Zane's ass?
860
00:41:01,592 --> 00:41:03,424
- 'Cause I'm not gonna do that.
- No, Alex.
861
00:41:03,511 --> 00:41:05,753
I'm just saying get
to know the man.
862
00:41:05,847 --> 00:41:08,305
And how exactly would you
suggest I do that?
863
00:41:08,391 --> 00:41:11,975
That's up to you. I happen to know
the man plays golf. So do you.
864
00:41:12,061 --> 00:41:15,554
If it were up to me,
I would start right there.
865
00:41:31,372 --> 00:41:33,329
Make yourself at home.
866
00:41:33,416 --> 00:41:35,453
Don't mind if I do.
867
00:41:36,544 --> 00:41:38,911
Well, as long as you're here.
868
00:41:39,005 --> 00:41:41,247
You came through, like always.
869
00:41:41,340 --> 00:41:43,047
- Thanks, Samantha.
- Like always.
870
00:41:43,134 --> 00:41:45,672
What happened to,
"You let me down a time or two"?
871
00:41:45,762 --> 00:41:48,721
Come on, you know
I get like that sometimes.
872
00:41:48,806 --> 00:41:50,889
What's going on?
Something on your mind?
873
00:41:50,975 --> 00:41:53,137
Yeah, there is. I did
what you asked
874
00:41:53,269 --> 00:41:55,556
- and now I have something to ask.
- What's that?
875
00:41:55,646 --> 00:41:58,059
I don't want to just be
your Michael Clayton.
876
00:41:58,149 --> 00:41:59,765
I want more.
877
00:42:00,234 --> 00:42:03,022
- I'm married.
- Come on, Robert.
878
00:42:03,112 --> 00:42:05,320
You know what I want,
and it's time.
879
00:42:05,406 --> 00:42:06,988
Samantha, we've been
over this.
880
00:42:07,075 --> 00:42:09,738
You get name partner,
and you're not going to be able
881
00:42:09,827 --> 00:42:11,568
to operate the way
you always have.
882
00:42:11,662 --> 00:42:13,390
You mean I won't be able
to clean up your messes.
883
00:42:13,414 --> 00:42:15,656
My messes aren't
the only ones you clean up.
884
00:42:15,750 --> 00:42:17,644
I believe you spend half the
time cleaning up your own.
885
00:42:17,668 --> 00:42:19,751
Is that what I spent
the last few days doing?
886
00:42:19,837 --> 00:42:21,794
- Samantha?
- Robert, I want name partner.
887
00:42:21,881 --> 00:42:23,747
And I want it before
the year is out.
888
00:42:23,841 --> 00:42:25,252
Or what?
889
00:42:25,843 --> 00:42:28,301
Before the year
is out, Robert.
