1
00:00:02,437 --> 00:00:03,957
I got approached today
by the New York Bar.
2
00:00:03,981 --> 00:00:05,061
The guy pretty much told me
3
00:00:05,107 --> 00:00:07,293
if we don't take Zane's name
down, they'll do it for us.
4
00:00:07,317 --> 00:00:09,183
If you can't tell me
who you are to him,
5
00:00:09,278 --> 00:00:10,860
maybe you can tell me
who he is to you.
6
00:00:10,946 --> 00:00:12,006
I just know that he's somebody
7
00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:14,147
that I can't seem to figure out
how to cut out of me.
8
00:00:14,283 --> 00:00:16,594
- I know exactly what you two are doing.
- Louis, before you jump...
9
00:00:16,618 --> 00:00:17,845
You were up all night
trying to figure out
10
00:00:17,869 --> 00:00:18,930
how you were gonna handle
the Zane situation.
11
00:00:18,954 --> 00:00:21,394
You're my lawyer. You knew something,
and you kept it from me.
12
00:00:21,456 --> 00:00:23,434
- We've been over this. The reason I...
- What we haven't been over
13
00:00:23,458 --> 00:00:25,199
is that I was forced
to lie yesterday.
14
00:00:25,294 --> 00:00:26,521
The longer we leave
his name up there,
15
00:00:26,545 --> 00:00:28,707
the more damage
we inflict on ourselves.
16
00:00:28,797 --> 00:00:29,878
No, I'm not doing it.
17
00:00:29,965 --> 00:00:31,943
The Bar tried to get me to take over
as managing partner.
18
00:00:31,967 --> 00:00:33,027
You're here to tell me
you're taking over.
19
00:00:33,051 --> 00:00:36,010
I'm here to tell you that if they can
do that, what else can they do?
20
00:00:36,096 --> 00:00:37,907
- We need to put an end to this.
- What are you talking about?
21
00:00:37,931 --> 00:00:39,284
I'm talking about
taking Robert's name down.
22
00:00:39,308 --> 00:00:40,344
What's going on here?
23
00:00:40,434 --> 00:00:42,221
If we don't do this,
this firm has no future.
24
00:00:42,311 --> 00:00:44,598
If you do this, you'll be lucky
if I don't go to the Bar
25
00:00:44,688 --> 00:00:46,350
and tell them
what really happened.
26
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,524
This is a court order granting me
full control of your law firm.
27
00:00:49,610 --> 00:00:51,101
You can refuse, in which case
28
00:00:51,194 --> 00:00:54,278
the Bar will suspend every partner
in this firm for six months.
29
00:00:59,077 --> 00:01:00,318
You up for another round?
30
00:01:01,663 --> 00:01:04,497
You're probably the only one here
who could give me a real fight,
31
00:01:04,583 --> 00:01:07,200
but I doubt a workout
is why you texted.
32
00:01:07,294 --> 00:01:09,035
You always did call me
on my shit.
33
00:01:09,796 --> 00:01:11,082
So what's going on, Lucas?
34
00:01:11,173 --> 00:01:12,755
To put it bluntly,
I got fired.
35
00:01:12,841 --> 00:01:14,548
What? Last I heard
the job was going great.
36
00:01:14,635 --> 00:01:17,548
It was, but we just
missed out on a DOD contract.
37
00:01:17,638 --> 00:01:19,425
Which means they're
letting guys go.
38
00:01:19,514 --> 00:01:21,096
But only one
from my department.
39
00:01:21,183 --> 00:01:23,223
And the guy they're keeping
is the CEO's son-in-law.
40
00:01:23,727 --> 00:01:25,309
It's nepotism,
no two ways about it.
41
00:01:25,437 --> 00:01:28,350
- It's more than that. It's a lawsuit.
- I thought so, too.
42
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,752
So you know any hotshot lawyers
that might be interested in my case?
43
00:01:30,776 --> 00:01:31,776
I might.
44
00:01:32,277 --> 00:01:34,394
Why don't we get breakfast?
You can fill me in.
45
00:01:34,488 --> 00:01:36,549
Okay, but if you're buying,
it better show up on my bill,
46
00:01:36,573 --> 00:01:38,213
because I didn't come
looking for charity.
47
00:01:38,241 --> 00:01:40,699
It's not charity.
It's called pro bono.
48
00:01:40,786 --> 00:01:42,823
- Samantha...
- Lucas, we served together.
49
00:01:42,913 --> 00:01:44,620
I'm not taking no
for an answer.
50
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,794
Harvey, Donna.
What a pleasant surprise.
51
00:01:52,506 --> 00:01:53,997
Can I interest you
in some Weetabix?
52
00:01:54,633 --> 00:01:56,499
Wow. What are you wearing?
53
00:01:56,593 --> 00:01:58,196
What do you mean, what am I
wearing? It's my mankini.
54
00:01:58,220 --> 00:01:59,836
- Your what now?
- It's a Speedo.
55
00:01:59,930 --> 00:02:01,171
I wear it
instead of underwear.
56
00:02:01,264 --> 00:02:03,224
It's incredibly supportive.
Here, let me show you.
57
00:02:03,266 --> 00:02:04,802
- Donna?
- Louis, as much as we would
58
00:02:04,893 --> 00:02:07,886
love for you to show us how
supportive your underwear is,
59
00:02:07,979 --> 00:02:11,017
Harvey and I are here
to share some news
60
00:02:11,108 --> 00:02:12,752
about why we were together
the other morning.
61
00:02:12,776 --> 00:02:14,671
Yeah, I know why you were together.
You were worried about the firm.
62
00:02:14,695 --> 00:02:17,483
Except the firm isn't the reason
why Harvey came over the other night,
63
00:02:17,572 --> 00:02:20,280
and it's definitely
not why he stayed over.
64
00:02:20,367 --> 00:02:22,905
Wait, Harvey, you have
a problem with your plumbing?
65
00:02:22,994 --> 00:02:24,222
'Cause if you need to
use my shower...
66
00:02:24,246 --> 00:02:26,203
That's not what she's saying,
Louis, and...
67
00:02:26,289 --> 00:02:27,530
I'm never gonna
use your shower.
68
00:02:27,624 --> 00:02:29,394
It's got a steam feature!
Come on upstairs. I'll show you.
69
00:02:29,418 --> 00:02:30,418
Louis!
70
00:02:31,586 --> 00:02:32,626
Harvey and I are together.
71
00:02:32,671 --> 00:02:34,232
Yeah, I know you're together.
You're standing right in front of me.
72
00:02:34,256 --> 00:02:35,918
See? This is what
I'm talking about.
73
00:02:36,007 --> 00:02:37,568
I mean, like, how did he even
make it through law school?
74
00:02:37,592 --> 00:02:41,176
No, no, no, no, no.
Harvey and I are in a relationship.
75
00:02:42,681 --> 00:02:45,389
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.
76
00:02:45,475 --> 00:02:47,620
And we didn't want to tell you before
because it wasn't the right time,
77
00:02:47,644 --> 00:02:49,510
but we're telling you now
because we're happy
78
00:02:49,604 --> 00:02:51,345
and we don't want to hide
that anymore.
79
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,808
Especially not from
our partner and our friend.
80
00:02:54,901 --> 00:02:58,394
I really appreciate that, Harvey,
and I am so happy for you both.
81
00:02:58,488 --> 00:02:59,488
But?
82
00:02:59,865 --> 00:03:02,903
A proper celebration's gonna have
to wait because I have some news, too.
83
00:03:02,993 --> 00:03:04,279
What is it, Louis?
84
00:03:05,078 --> 00:03:06,078
We have a problem.
85
00:03:09,624 --> 00:03:10,831
How long is she gonna be here?
86
00:03:10,917 --> 00:03:12,033
I don't know.
87
00:03:12,127 --> 00:03:13,855
Apparently, it's left to
the Bar's discretion.
88
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:15,120
Bullshit!
89
00:03:15,213 --> 00:03:16,704
There's no way
I'm letting the Bar
90
00:03:16,798 --> 00:03:19,381
move someone into my house
and tell me how to run it.
91
00:03:20,385 --> 00:03:21,921
- What?
- You know what.
92
00:03:22,012 --> 00:03:23,531
This never would've happened
if you just...
93
00:03:23,555 --> 00:03:24,555
Don't even say it.
94
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,700
You don't even know
what I was going to say.
95
00:03:25,724 --> 00:03:27,118
I can take a guess.
You were gonna say
96
00:03:27,142 --> 00:03:28,902
this all happened
because of what Robert did.
97
00:03:28,935 --> 00:03:31,518
It happened because
of your collective choices.
98
00:03:31,605 --> 00:03:33,346
This is a private
meeting, Faye.
99
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,227
Well, it's also
the perfect opportunity
100
00:03:35,317 --> 00:03:38,230
for me to introduce myself
to the firm's leadership,
101
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,320
such as it is.
102
00:03:39,446 --> 00:03:41,529
- Such as it is?
- Ms. Paulsen,
103
00:03:41,615 --> 00:03:44,232
when a firm's out of control,
that starts at the top.
104
00:03:44,326 --> 00:03:46,283
And if you think you can
waltz right in here
105
00:03:46,369 --> 00:03:48,076
and start throwing around
accusations...
106
00:03:48,163 --> 00:03:49,995
Then how about we throw
around some facts?
107
00:03:50,081 --> 00:03:53,290
You've had two managing partners
disbarred in as many years,
108
00:03:53,376 --> 00:03:54,867
a junior partner go to prison,
109
00:03:54,961 --> 00:03:56,623
and if you think
anybody believes
110
00:03:56,713 --> 00:03:58,921
that you weren't a party
to that fraud, think again.
111
00:03:59,007 --> 00:04:00,007
But,
112
00:04:01,009 --> 00:04:02,009
as of today,
113
00:04:03,011 --> 00:04:05,879
I'm wiping the slate clean
of everything you've ever done.
114
00:04:06,097 --> 00:04:07,804
You have no proof
we've ever done anything.
115
00:04:07,891 --> 00:04:09,632
I have experience.
116
00:04:09,726 --> 00:04:12,434
And when there's this much
smoke, there's always fire.
117
00:04:12,521 --> 00:04:15,730
So if you want me gone, there's
only one way to make that happen,
118
00:04:15,816 --> 00:04:18,308
convince me you people
can be trusted to fly right.
119
00:04:18,401 --> 00:04:19,812
And if we don't?
120
00:04:19,903 --> 00:04:21,815
You mean if you continue
to cross lines?
121
00:04:23,573 --> 00:04:24,814
Then you'll be fired.
122
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:27,442
- You don't have the authority to do that.
- Yes, I do.
123
00:04:27,536 --> 00:04:29,949
As I have the authority
to approve new cases,
124
00:04:30,038 --> 00:04:33,156
allocate resources, and just
about anything else I see fit.
125
00:04:33,250 --> 00:04:36,118
And the first order of business is doing
what you all should have.
126
00:04:36,211 --> 00:04:37,827
Taking Robert Zane's name
off that wall.
127
00:04:37,921 --> 00:04:39,958
No. That is not happening.
128
00:04:40,048 --> 00:04:43,712
If you think you have a say in the matter,
you haven't grasped the situation.
129
00:04:43,802 --> 00:04:46,135
If you so much as reach
for that name,
130
00:04:46,221 --> 00:04:49,385
you haven't grasped that
I will find something on you.
131
00:04:49,474 --> 00:04:53,434
And that mentality perfectly
underlines why I am here.
132
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,728
And leaving that name up
sends the wrong message.
133
00:04:55,814 --> 00:04:56,975
It sends the message
134
00:04:57,065 --> 00:04:59,057
that we don't throw our friends
to the wolves.
135
00:04:59,150 --> 00:05:01,358
You want to throw your friend
a retirement party
136
00:05:01,444 --> 00:05:04,937
or help him launch a charter boat company
to show your support, be my guest.
137
00:05:05,407 --> 00:05:09,026
But that name
comes down today.
138
00:05:10,704 --> 00:05:13,697
I don't believe this.
You're just gonna let her do this?
139
00:05:13,790 --> 00:05:15,076
Samantha,
it's not our decision.
140
00:05:15,166 --> 00:05:16,998
Well, whether I stay
here or not is.
141
00:05:17,085 --> 00:05:18,621
So you can go to hell.
142
00:05:21,423 --> 00:05:23,183
Fortunately, I'm used
to reactions like that.
143
00:05:23,592 --> 00:05:27,381
So as I said to Louis
when he signed off on this,
144
00:05:27,470 --> 00:05:29,803
I suggest you start getting used
to doing things my way,
145
00:05:30,015 --> 00:05:31,802
because this isn't
the Wild West.
146
00:05:31,892 --> 00:05:35,306
And your days of operating
however the hell you want are over.
147
00:05:42,903 --> 00:05:46,146
See the money,
wanna stay for your meal
148
00:05:46,239 --> 00:05:49,277
Get another piece of pie
for your wife
149
00:05:49,367 --> 00:05:52,826
Everybody wanna know
how it feel
150
00:05:52,913 --> 00:05:56,202
Everybody wanna see
what it's like
151
00:05:56,291 --> 00:05:59,455
I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind
152
00:05:59,544 --> 00:06:01,285
Me and missy is so early
153
00:06:01,379 --> 00:06:03,041
Busy, busy making money
154
00:06:03,131 --> 00:06:04,131
All right!
155
00:06:04,215 --> 00:06:09,756
All step back
I'm 'bout to dance
156
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:12,380
The greenback boogie
157
00:06:15,727 --> 00:06:18,219
Don't bother, Harvey. I'm outta here.
This place is not for me.
158
00:06:18,313 --> 00:06:20,851
Samantha, you can't quit.
We need you.
159
00:06:20,941 --> 00:06:23,421
Well, she doesn't need me,
and she's the one calling the shots.
160
00:06:23,485 --> 00:06:25,504
And if you think just because you gave me
a client I'm going to stay here...
161
00:06:25,528 --> 00:06:28,862
Samantha, like it or not,
the world thinks Robert is dirty.
162
00:06:28,949 --> 00:06:32,533
People also think that the apple doesn't
fall far from the tree.
163
00:06:32,619 --> 00:06:34,861
So if you leave,
it's not gonna look like a protest.
164
00:06:34,955 --> 00:06:36,867
It'll look like
what they all think is true.
165
00:06:39,626 --> 00:06:41,868
I just don't have it in me
to roll over to her, Harvey.
166
00:06:41,962 --> 00:06:43,064
I'm not asking you
to roll over.
167
00:06:43,088 --> 00:06:44,670
I'm asking you
to wait this thing out.
168
00:06:44,756 --> 00:06:45,956
Because the second she leaves,
169
00:06:46,007 --> 00:06:47,927
we're gonna put his name
right back on that wall.
170
00:06:48,593 --> 00:06:51,461
And what about the fact she gets
approval over all new cases?
171
00:06:51,554 --> 00:06:53,282
Because I met with
an old friend this morning.
172
00:06:53,306 --> 00:06:57,300
He can't afford us, and there is
no way I'm not helping him.
173
00:06:57,394 --> 00:06:59,622
Then as far as I'm concerned,
you met with him last night,
174
00:06:59,646 --> 00:07:01,182
which means
it's not a new case.
175
00:07:01,272 --> 00:07:03,685
She has a problem with that,
she can take it up with me.
176
00:07:07,112 --> 00:07:09,274
- Louis, we need to talk.
- What is it?
177
00:07:09,364 --> 00:07:11,592
You didn't mention that you signed off
on this whole thing.
178
00:07:11,616 --> 00:07:13,094
What difference does it make?
I didn't have a choice.
179
00:07:13,118 --> 00:07:14,780
Yes, you did.
You could've used her
180
00:07:14,869 --> 00:07:17,348
to convince Harvey to take that name down.
Which, thanks to you, is happening anyway.
181
00:07:17,372 --> 00:07:18,372
Thanks to me?
182
00:07:18,456 --> 00:07:19,809
I don't see anybody else
in this room.
183
00:07:19,833 --> 00:07:21,353
And you weren't there
last night, Alex.
184
00:07:21,793 --> 00:07:23,813
If I had refused, they would've
suspended everybody's license
185
00:07:23,837 --> 00:07:25,453
for six months
right then and there.
186
00:07:25,547 --> 00:07:26,983
So do you want to keep
fighting with each other,
187
00:07:27,007 --> 00:07:28,275
or do you want to
start fighting her?
188
00:07:28,299 --> 00:07:30,086
There is no fighting her.
189
00:07:30,176 --> 00:07:31,570
Gretchen, please,
this doesn't involve you.
190
00:07:31,594 --> 00:07:32,960
Well, maybe it should.
191
00:07:33,054 --> 00:07:35,216
Since I'm the only one
who knows Faye Richardson.
192
00:07:35,348 --> 00:07:37,931
- You know her?
- Worked in her firm years ago.
193
00:07:38,018 --> 00:07:41,102
Back before she became
the Bar's special asshole.
194
00:07:41,187 --> 00:07:43,600
Word was when she was
managing partner,
195
00:07:43,690 --> 00:07:46,933
she found out her husband
crossed some kind of line.
196
00:07:47,027 --> 00:07:49,815
She stripped his name
off the wall and fired him.
197
00:07:49,904 --> 00:07:51,111
Damn.
198
00:07:51,197 --> 00:07:52,758
A woman who could do that
to her own husband
199
00:07:52,782 --> 00:07:54,135
isn't going to care
what we do to her.
200
00:07:54,159 --> 00:07:56,071
But she'll care about
what the Bar does.
201
00:07:56,661 --> 00:07:57,742
You got something?
202
00:07:59,247 --> 00:08:00,247
I might.
203
00:08:00,832 --> 00:08:02,915
And just how long is this woman
going to be here?
204
00:08:03,001 --> 00:08:06,665
Well, according to her,
as long as she deems it necessary.
205
00:08:08,256 --> 00:08:09,838
What is it, Katrina?
206
00:08:09,924 --> 00:08:13,008
This is exactly why I went
to Alex to take Robert's name down.
207
00:08:13,094 --> 00:08:15,051
Something like this
was bound to happen.
208
00:08:15,138 --> 00:08:16,866
Well, I can understand
how you feel that way,
209
00:08:16,890 --> 00:08:20,383
but at the time, standing by Robert
felt like the right thing to do.
210
00:08:21,644 --> 00:08:24,933
- Am I interrupting?
- I was actually heading out.
211
00:08:25,065 --> 00:08:27,808
- Katrina Bennett.
- Faye Richardson. Pleasure to meet you.
212
00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:33,146
Ms. Richardson.
Is there something you need?
213
00:08:33,239 --> 00:08:34,525
Please, call me Faye.
214
00:08:34,616 --> 00:08:36,699
I may be here
as a special master,
215
00:08:36,785 --> 00:08:38,596
but it doesn't mean we can't be
on a first name basis.
216
00:08:38,620 --> 00:08:40,953
Well, is there something
that I can do for you, Faye?
217
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:44,874
I understand as COO you handle
administrative coordination?
218
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:47,104
That's right. Are you looking
to get a secretary, or...
219
00:08:47,128 --> 00:08:50,212
I'm looking to schedule an exit
interview with Thomas Kessler.
220
00:08:50,298 --> 00:08:52,540
And why would you
want to meet with Mr. Kessler?
221
00:08:52,634 --> 00:08:55,047
Because this firm's
troubles started
222
00:08:55,136 --> 00:08:58,425
when it put Mr. Kessler's
interests above another client's.
223
00:08:58,515 --> 00:09:01,132
I don't understand
why someone they did that for
224
00:09:01,226 --> 00:09:02,433
would suddenly leave.
225
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:05,933
And you think his reasons might
indicate an underlying problem?
226
00:09:06,022 --> 00:09:08,184
Do you think there's
an underlying problem?
227
00:09:08,274 --> 00:09:09,710
I get the feeling
you're really asking
228
00:09:09,734 --> 00:09:11,771
whether I'd tell you
if I thought there was.
229
00:09:12,821 --> 00:09:13,937
And what if I were?
230
00:09:15,198 --> 00:09:17,656
Faye, if you know anything
about me, you'd know that
231
00:09:17,742 --> 00:09:21,201
I have a reputation for solving problems,
not hiding them.
232
00:09:21,913 --> 00:09:25,031
Which is why I already sent
Mr. Kessler our exit survey,
233
00:09:25,125 --> 00:09:27,788
so when I get his responses,
I will forward them to you.
234
00:09:27,877 --> 00:09:29,077
Oh, please do.
In the meantime,
235
00:09:29,129 --> 00:09:32,122
I'd appreciate you
setting up that interview.
236
00:09:32,215 --> 00:09:34,047
- I just explained...
- I know.
237
00:09:34,134 --> 00:09:38,469
I just find face-to-face
meetings much more informative,
238
00:09:38,555 --> 00:09:39,555
don't you?
239
00:09:40,348 --> 00:09:41,348
I certainly do.
240
00:09:42,934 --> 00:09:44,596
- I'll set that up.
- Wonderful.
241
00:09:44,686 --> 00:09:46,222
Anytime tomorrow
should be fine.
242
00:09:51,901 --> 00:09:54,359
- Harvey, we need to talk.
- We sure do.
243
00:09:54,445 --> 00:09:56,590
And I'm sorry, Donna. I know you're gonna
disagree with me, but...
244
00:09:56,614 --> 00:09:59,322
- That woman needs to go. Now.
- What?
245
00:09:59,409 --> 00:10:00,409
What do you mean, what?
246
00:10:00,493 --> 00:10:01,904
- That's what I was gonna say.
- So?
247
00:10:01,995 --> 00:10:03,861
So you're not gonna
try and talk me out of it.
248
00:10:03,955 --> 00:10:05,446
That's so unlike you.
249
00:10:05,707 --> 00:10:06,707
- Huh.
- Mmm.
250
00:10:07,083 --> 00:10:08,290
That is unlike me.
251
00:10:08,376 --> 00:10:10,062
Maybe you're not going to
try and talk me out of it
252
00:10:10,086 --> 00:10:11,873
because you're less
uptight since we, uh...
253
00:10:11,963 --> 00:10:13,579
Since we, what?
254
00:10:14,507 --> 00:10:16,123
Nothing. Since we nothing.
255
00:10:16,217 --> 00:10:17,217
That's right.
256
00:10:17,302 --> 00:10:19,043
Because if anybody
was uptight, it was you.
257
00:10:19,137 --> 00:10:20,447
But I'm the one
acting consistently.
258
00:10:20,471 --> 00:10:21,882
Okay, maybe I was uptight.
259
00:10:21,973 --> 00:10:24,056
Or maybe I've had it
with Faye's bullshit.
260
00:10:24,142 --> 00:10:25,724
I prefer my uptight theory.
261
00:10:25,810 --> 00:10:27,597
Well, I prefer that Faye
not find out that
262
00:10:27,687 --> 00:10:29,895
it wasn't Robert who broke
privilege, it was us.
263
00:10:29,981 --> 00:10:31,208
Wait, what are you
talking about?
264
00:10:31,232 --> 00:10:33,724
She just asked me to schedule
an exit interview with Thomas.
265
00:10:33,818 --> 00:10:35,104
Donna, we can't
let that happen.
266
00:10:35,195 --> 00:10:37,278
- Thomas won't lie for us again.
- I know!
267
00:10:37,363 --> 00:10:39,446
So the question is,
how do we stop it?
268
00:10:41,117 --> 00:10:44,360
Well, if we can't ask Thomas to lie again,
there's only one way out.
269
00:10:44,996 --> 00:10:47,955
Make it so he doesn't
have to talk to her at all.
270
00:10:50,877 --> 00:10:52,869
Sorry to keep you
waiting, Ms. Wheeler.
271
00:10:53,922 --> 00:10:56,460
- Now, what's this about?
- Let's see.
272
00:10:56,549 --> 00:10:59,462
How about nepotism
and wrongful termination?
273
00:11:00,887 --> 00:11:03,345
You're here
about Lucas Hodges.
274
00:11:03,431 --> 00:11:04,967
That was fast.
275
00:11:05,058 --> 00:11:07,015
Well, he's the only person
we've let go recently
276
00:11:07,101 --> 00:11:09,559
and we were perfectly justified
in our decision.
277
00:11:09,646 --> 00:11:11,558
Why don't we let
a judge decide that?
278
00:11:11,648 --> 00:11:13,856
You might want to
get your facts straight first.
279
00:11:13,942 --> 00:11:16,480
The facts are you needed
to cut someone loose
280
00:11:16,569 --> 00:11:19,733
and you chose to keep your son-in-law
over a more qualified employee
281
00:11:19,822 --> 00:11:21,313
who happens to be
a two-tour veteran.
282
00:11:21,407 --> 00:11:22,488
I know what he is.
283
00:11:22,575 --> 00:11:24,487
Then you should know
if you don't reinstate him,
284
00:11:24,577 --> 00:11:26,034
I'm gonna wrap Lucas
up in a flag,
285
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,032
put him in front of a jury,
and then we'll see
286
00:11:28,122 --> 00:11:30,239
exactly how many
government contracts you get.
287
00:11:30,333 --> 00:11:31,995
Then we'll wrap you
in time cards
288
00:11:32,085 --> 00:11:36,045
and the medical bills we footed
for an employee that Lucas injured.
289
00:11:36,172 --> 00:11:40,291
- What?
- Lucas was far from perfect, Ms. Wheeler.
290
00:11:40,385 --> 00:11:44,004
He missed work at crunch time.
He didn't always even call in.
291
00:11:44,097 --> 00:11:45,574
Says the man trying to
get out of a lawsuit.
292
00:11:45,598 --> 00:11:48,762
You don't have a lawsuit
because we had cause.
293
00:11:48,851 --> 00:11:51,343
And if you don't believe me,
ask my secretary for his records.
294
00:11:51,437 --> 00:11:55,306
They'll show that he was erratic,
he was impossible to work with.
295
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,312
For God's sakes,
one day someone startled him,
296
00:11:57,402 --> 00:11:58,643
he practically
attacked the man.
297
00:11:58,736 --> 00:12:00,193
And if that's true,
298
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,174
why didn't you bring this up
when you let him go?
299
00:12:02,198 --> 00:12:05,157
Because I like Lucas,
so we said
300
00:12:05,243 --> 00:12:07,429
it was because of that contract
to give him a soft landing.
301
00:12:07,453 --> 00:12:10,446
But the truth is, we were gonna
fire him no matter what.
302
00:12:10,540 --> 00:12:13,783
So I'm sorry
that he lied to you,
303
00:12:13,876 --> 00:12:15,583
but the suit has no merit.
304
00:12:16,421 --> 00:12:19,630
You can show yourself out.
305
00:12:31,102 --> 00:12:34,220
Louis, if you're here about changing
our default font back to Helvetica,
306
00:12:34,314 --> 00:12:35,430
I already told you...
307
00:12:35,523 --> 00:12:38,391
I'm not here about that, Benjamin.
I'm here because of Faye Richardson.
308
00:12:38,985 --> 00:12:41,185
I just set up her firewall this morning.
What about her?
309
00:12:41,237 --> 00:12:42,237
She's an intruder.
310
00:12:42,322 --> 00:12:44,655
And she just fired a shot
across our beloved bow.
311
00:12:45,616 --> 00:12:47,573
- Give me an order, Captain.
- It's Admiral.
312
00:12:47,660 --> 00:12:49,777
And I want you to find
a loophole in the Bar's bylaws
313
00:12:49,871 --> 00:12:51,828
that I can use
to force them to remove her.
314
00:12:51,914 --> 00:12:54,406
But the Bar's bylaws are,
like, 1,000 pages long.
315
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:55,707
3,000.
316
00:12:55,793 --> 00:12:58,188
And somewhere in there is a technicality
that'll get rid of that woman,
317
00:12:58,212 --> 00:13:00,704
and you're going to build
a program to find it.
318
00:13:00,798 --> 00:13:02,710
Louis, I don't know
if I can do that.
319
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,416
Benjamin,
320
00:13:04,510 --> 00:13:07,093
our home is under attack,
and I can't defend it alone.
321
00:13:07,180 --> 00:13:09,074
I need you to do this,
and I need you to do it quietly.
322
00:13:09,098 --> 00:13:10,839
Now, can I count on you
or not, sailor?
323
00:13:11,267 --> 00:13:12,849
- Aye-aye, Captain.
- It's Admiral.
324
00:13:12,935 --> 00:13:14,517
- Admiral, whatever.
- That's right.
325
00:13:17,523 --> 00:13:19,981
I can't believe they're using those days
I missed against me.
326
00:13:20,068 --> 00:13:21,988
They're using them
because they constitute cause.
327
00:13:22,028 --> 00:13:23,547
The question is,
why didn't you tell me?
328
00:13:23,571 --> 00:13:24,798
It was a couple days
here and there.
329
00:13:24,822 --> 00:13:27,280
Lucas, I never saw you
be late to one exercise,
330
00:13:27,367 --> 00:13:28,949
- one training session...
- So what?
331
00:13:29,035 --> 00:13:31,698
So you know what.
The absences, the aggression,
332
00:13:31,788 --> 00:13:33,654
all worse during
high-stress periods.
333
00:13:33,748 --> 00:13:35,588
- Look, Samantha...
- You have PTSD, don't you?
334
00:13:35,666 --> 00:13:37,123
No, I do not.
335
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,897
Check my medical records.
There's nothing in them.
336
00:13:39,921 --> 00:13:41,207
Because you never
saw a doctor?
337
00:13:41,297 --> 00:13:43,539
- Of course I saw a doctor.
- And why was that?
338
00:13:43,633 --> 00:13:44,874
Because I had
trouble sleeping.
339
00:13:44,967 --> 00:13:47,004
Because of nightmares,
flashbacks?
340
00:13:47,178 --> 00:13:48,322
I don't wanna talk about this.
341
00:13:48,346 --> 00:13:49,712
Well, we're gonna
talk about it
342
00:13:49,806 --> 00:13:52,242
because I can't defend you
if you're not being honest with me.
343
00:13:52,266 --> 00:13:53,266
Honest about what?
344
00:13:54,185 --> 00:13:56,246
About how there are nights
I'm afraid to close my eyes
345
00:13:56,270 --> 00:13:58,102
and days I never
get out of bed?
346
00:14:00,441 --> 00:14:01,602
Listen to me.
347
00:14:02,443 --> 00:14:05,311
You have nothing
to be ashamed of.
348
00:14:06,197 --> 00:14:09,486
There are literally thousands of people
going through the exact same thing
349
00:14:09,575 --> 00:14:11,011
and once we get you
diagnosed, we can...
350
00:14:11,035 --> 00:14:13,235
- I'm not getting diagnosed.
- Lucas, it'll protect you.
351
00:14:13,287 --> 00:14:15,391
Samantha, I told them I didn't want
to be diagnosed back then.
352
00:14:15,415 --> 00:14:17,748
I'm not getting reclassified
now. That's the end of it.
353
00:14:17,834 --> 00:14:20,201
Wait a minute, you told them?
You told your psychiatrist?
354
00:14:20,294 --> 00:14:23,082
I didn't go to a psychiatrist.
I went to an MD.
355
00:14:23,172 --> 00:14:24,566
I begged him not to
put it in my record.
356
00:14:24,590 --> 00:14:27,128
He put it down as anxiety
and gave me pills.
357
00:14:27,218 --> 00:14:28,570
And they kept me
going through my tour.
358
00:14:28,594 --> 00:14:29,594
And once you got out?
359
00:14:29,679 --> 00:14:30,879
I thought it would get better.
360
00:14:32,265 --> 00:14:34,302
- But it didn't.
- No.
361
00:14:35,143 --> 00:14:36,805
- It got worse.
- Well,
362
00:14:38,062 --> 00:14:41,021
if your employer won't pay,
maybe someone else will.
363
00:14:46,404 --> 00:14:47,565
Harvey.
364
00:14:47,655 --> 00:14:49,442
Thomas, do you mind
if I come in?
365
00:14:49,532 --> 00:14:51,343
I really don't think
we have much to talk about.
366
00:14:51,367 --> 00:14:53,199
Well, unfortunately, we do.
367
00:14:53,286 --> 00:14:57,906
Because, as a result
of that hearing,
368
00:14:57,999 --> 00:15:00,958
the Bar installed someone
to watch every move we make.
369
00:15:01,043 --> 00:15:03,660
And now she wants
to ask you why you're leaving.
370
00:15:04,213 --> 00:15:05,649
And you know
I'm not gonna lie again.
371
00:15:05,673 --> 00:15:08,381
Which is why I'm here
to ask you not to leave.
372
00:15:08,468 --> 00:15:10,004
You've gotta be joking.
373
00:15:10,887 --> 00:15:12,253
Just hear me out, please.
374
00:15:12,597 --> 00:15:14,008
You've been with us
a long time.
375
00:15:14,098 --> 00:15:16,761
And in that time
we've tripled your business,
376
00:15:16,851 --> 00:15:17,932
we've taken you public...
377
00:15:18,019 --> 00:15:20,227
- And completely betrayed my trust.
- No.
378
00:15:20,313 --> 00:15:22,350
I betrayed my own
client for you.
379
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,558
I lost my friend
and my partner for you.
380
00:15:26,777 --> 00:15:31,021
And if I'd done
the technically right thing,
381
00:15:31,115 --> 00:15:32,481
you'd have lost
your expansion.
382
00:15:32,742 --> 00:15:34,950
Now, I'm not saying
we didn't make mistakes,
383
00:15:35,036 --> 00:15:37,369
and I know I need to
earn back your trust.
384
00:15:38,206 --> 00:15:40,698
I'm just asking you to give us
a chance to do that.
385
00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:43,917
Let me ask you this.
386
00:15:48,424 --> 00:15:50,006
Who is Donna to you?
387
00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:55,087
She's the most important
person in my life, Thomas.
388
00:15:56,432 --> 00:15:57,673
And she knows it.
389
00:16:00,895 --> 00:16:01,895
When?
390
00:16:02,980 --> 00:16:04,437
The night I was cleared.
391
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:06,900
Okay.
392
00:16:09,779 --> 00:16:10,779
Okay.
393
00:16:11,531 --> 00:16:14,069
I'll stay with your firm
on one condition.
394
00:16:15,618 --> 00:16:17,575
From now on you're
my lawyer, not Alex.
395
00:16:17,662 --> 00:16:19,369
Thomas, I'm not sure
that's the best idea.
396
00:16:19,455 --> 00:16:20,849
Well, it's the only one
that's gonna work for me
397
00:16:20,873 --> 00:16:22,455
because I don't trust
him anymore.
398
00:16:23,209 --> 00:16:24,450
And you were just
honest with me
399
00:16:24,544 --> 00:16:27,252
about the most difficult
question I'll ever ask.
400
00:16:27,964 --> 00:16:29,205
And you didn't flinch.
401
00:16:30,550 --> 00:16:33,293
Okay, but now that you
know the truth...
402
00:16:33,386 --> 00:16:34,627
I can get past all that.
403
00:16:35,555 --> 00:16:36,555
Are you sure?
404
00:16:38,140 --> 00:16:39,631
Yeah, I'm sure.
405
00:16:54,156 --> 00:16:56,022
Samantha, there you are.
406
00:16:56,117 --> 00:16:57,699
Whatever it is,
the answer is no.
407
00:16:57,785 --> 00:16:59,151
Well, that's too bad,
408
00:16:59,245 --> 00:17:01,202
because I just heard
you assigned an associate
409
00:17:01,289 --> 00:17:04,032
to subpoena military records
for a new case.
410
00:17:04,125 --> 00:17:07,038
- So what if I did?
- So, I want you to drop it.
411
00:17:08,212 --> 00:17:10,374
- Excuse me?
- As I mentioned this morning,
412
00:17:10,464 --> 00:17:12,205
I have approval
over all new matters,
413
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:13,735
and this one has red flags
all over it.
414
00:17:13,759 --> 00:17:16,679
Well, I don't see any red flags,
and I'm not hanging my friend out to dry.
415
00:17:16,762 --> 00:17:19,505
The fact that he's a friend
is the red flag,
416
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:23,058
because if you start to lose,
you may not fight the right way.
417
00:17:23,144 --> 00:17:24,705
That's the dumbest thing
I've ever heard.
418
00:17:24,729 --> 00:17:26,415
But it doesn't matter,
because this case isn't new.
419
00:17:26,439 --> 00:17:27,520
I took it last night.
420
00:17:28,733 --> 00:17:31,020
You don't think I know
a cover story when I hear one?
421
00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:32,546
I don't care
what you think you know.
422
00:17:32,570 --> 00:17:34,482
I told Harvey about the case
when I took it,
423
00:17:34,572 --> 00:17:36,564
which means,
according to your own rules,
424
00:17:36,657 --> 00:17:39,149
you don't get a say as
to whether I drop this or not.
425
00:17:39,243 --> 00:17:41,610
Well, I do get a say
on the use of firm resources,
426
00:17:41,704 --> 00:17:44,196
in particular on the cases
that pay us nothing.
427
00:17:44,290 --> 00:17:45,656
So if you pursue this,
428
00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:47,350
you do this without
your expense account,
429
00:17:47,418 --> 00:17:49,080
our associates,
and anything else.
430
00:17:49,170 --> 00:17:52,379
And if I find out otherwise,
I'll drop the client myself.
431
00:17:58,888 --> 00:18:02,177
Let me get this straight. You want
my help to go after the military?
432
00:18:02,266 --> 00:18:05,100
Yes, but first I need access
to your expense account.
433
00:18:05,186 --> 00:18:06,186
Why?
434
00:18:06,270 --> 00:18:09,333
Because if I'm gonna get them to settle,
I need to hire PIs, expert witnesses...
435
00:18:09,357 --> 00:18:11,019
No, I mean why do you
need my account?
436
00:18:11,108 --> 00:18:14,351
Because Faye banned me
from using firm resources.
437
00:18:15,571 --> 00:18:19,690
So you don't just want my help,
you want me to defy a direct order?
438
00:18:19,784 --> 00:18:21,366
If we do it right,
she'll never know.
439
00:18:21,452 --> 00:18:22,572
Samantha, it's the military.
440
00:18:22,620 --> 00:18:24,901
There's no way they'll ever give in
before Faye finds out.
441
00:18:24,955 --> 00:18:26,912
Fine, I will use
my own money for expenses,
442
00:18:26,999 --> 00:18:28,706
but I can't do it
all on my own.
443
00:18:28,793 --> 00:18:30,604
I'm working without
an associate myself right now.
444
00:18:30,628 --> 00:18:32,836
Katrina, it's not easy
for me to ask for this.
445
00:18:32,922 --> 00:18:35,585
And it's not easy
for me to say no.
446
00:18:35,675 --> 00:18:37,667
Don't you get it?
I cannot let him down.
447
00:18:41,347 --> 00:18:43,760
Lucas and I didn't
just train together.
448
00:18:44,475 --> 00:18:46,091
We served together.
449
00:18:47,353 --> 00:18:51,723
And after my four years,
he asked me to stay, but I didn't.
450
00:18:52,316 --> 00:18:55,400
I got out.
He did two more tours.
451
00:18:56,195 --> 00:18:58,403
And in his head,
he is still there
452
00:18:58,489 --> 00:19:03,109
while I wear $2,000 dresses
and negotiate million-dollar deals.
453
00:19:04,704 --> 00:19:07,196
All right. I'll help you.
454
00:19:07,832 --> 00:19:09,664
On two conditions.
455
00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:11,332
We do it on the up-and-up,
456
00:19:12,461 --> 00:19:14,327
and we pick a fight
we can win.
457
00:19:22,012 --> 00:19:25,551
I know things are rough, Harvey,
but shots for breakfast with my Scotch?
458
00:19:25,975 --> 00:19:27,682
One of them is for you.
459
00:19:27,768 --> 00:19:30,181
And they're not because of bad news,
but because of good.
460
00:19:30,271 --> 00:19:31,271
Then lay it on me.
461
00:19:31,355 --> 00:19:33,517
Because it is past time
I heard something good.
462
00:19:33,607 --> 00:19:34,973
I got Kessler to stay.
463
00:19:35,067 --> 00:19:37,434
He's gonna come in today
and sign a new engagement letter.
464
00:19:37,528 --> 00:19:40,521
No shit. That is good. I'll call him
right now, set up a meeting.
465
00:19:40,614 --> 00:19:44,358
That's the thing, Alex.
He wants me to represent him.
466
00:19:44,869 --> 00:19:46,531
- You?
- Yes.
467
00:19:46,620 --> 00:19:49,237
And before you say it,
I was as surprised as anyone.
468
00:19:49,331 --> 00:19:51,823
Harvey, surprised is what you
feel when you come home
469
00:19:51,917 --> 00:19:53,603
and your friends are there
for your birthday,
470
00:19:53,627 --> 00:19:55,564
not when you find out your
partner's taking your client.
471
00:19:55,588 --> 00:19:57,691
Look, I know it's not ideal,
but what do you want me to say?
472
00:19:57,715 --> 00:19:59,297
This is his condition
for staying.
473
00:19:59,383 --> 00:20:00,715
I don't want you
to say anything,
474
00:20:00,801 --> 00:20:03,613
but I also don't want you to come in here
and try to tell me this is a celebration.
475
00:20:03,637 --> 00:20:05,799
You're right.
It's not a celebration.
476
00:20:05,890 --> 00:20:09,008
But Faye wanted to ask him why he left,
and we can't have that.
477
00:20:13,856 --> 00:20:15,097
Ms. Bennett,
478
00:20:15,775 --> 00:20:19,769
I'm not one for small talk,
so I'll jump right in.
479
00:20:19,862 --> 00:20:22,605
I saw you added yourself
as attorney of record
480
00:20:22,698 --> 00:20:25,566
- on Ms. Wheeler's case.
- I did.
481
00:20:25,910 --> 00:20:29,153
And did she inform you that
I specifically forbade her
482
00:20:29,246 --> 00:20:30,953
from using firm resources?
483
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,702
Yes, she did.
484
00:20:32,792 --> 00:20:34,909
Which is why I worked
on my own time,
485
00:20:35,002 --> 00:20:38,336
and I won't be attending
a deposition scheduled for today.
486
00:20:38,422 --> 00:20:39,879
I respect that.
487
00:20:39,965 --> 00:20:42,298
It shows a willingness
to work within the rules.
488
00:20:42,384 --> 00:20:46,298
But I'd like to explain why I didn't
want her to take that case.
489
00:20:47,139 --> 00:20:48,880
Because she's
emotionally invested.
490
00:20:49,767 --> 00:20:52,607
And you're worried she'll be tempted
to do something that she shouldn't.
491
00:20:52,686 --> 00:20:54,598
And if you understand that,
492
00:20:54,688 --> 00:20:58,307
I'm sure you'll understand
if you really want to help Ms. Wheeler,
493
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,392
you'll help her avoid
doing just that.
494
00:21:05,741 --> 00:21:07,403
How did Alex take it?
495
00:21:07,493 --> 00:21:09,359
He didn't love it,
but he'll live with it.
496
00:21:09,995 --> 00:21:12,738
So Thomas is coming
here today?
497
00:21:13,249 --> 00:21:15,018
Because Faye's gonna be asking
about that interview,
498
00:21:15,042 --> 00:21:17,375
and we need him to have signed
that engagement letter.
499
00:21:17,461 --> 00:21:18,793
Donna, he gave me his word.
500
00:21:18,879 --> 00:21:21,166
Great, then that means
that he'll be here.
501
00:21:22,466 --> 00:21:24,458
Hey, what's going on?
502
00:21:25,010 --> 00:21:27,343
Are you sure
this is the best idea?
503
00:21:28,430 --> 00:21:29,546
You representing him?
504
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,951
I mean, what happens
the first time
505
00:21:30,975 --> 00:21:32,577
he doesn't like
something that you've done,
506
00:21:32,601 --> 00:21:34,281
or you think that
he's being short-sighted?
507
00:21:34,353 --> 00:21:36,766
How long before one of you
brings up what happened?
508
00:21:37,273 --> 00:21:40,983
Donna, he's a grown man.
It was his idea.
509
00:21:41,068 --> 00:21:44,436
If he thinks he can make it
work, I'm gonna trust him.
510
00:21:45,364 --> 00:21:46,946
How is it that you always
511
00:21:47,032 --> 00:21:49,399
make it feel like
everything's gonna be okay?
512
00:21:49,493 --> 00:21:50,904
Because I'm Superman.
513
00:21:50,995 --> 00:21:52,406
No, you're supposed to say,
514
00:21:52,496 --> 00:21:54,099
"I was just thinking
the same thing about you."
515
00:21:54,123 --> 00:21:56,035
But Superman wouldn't say
something like that.
516
00:21:56,125 --> 00:21:57,787
He'd just expect
Lana Lang to get it.
517
00:21:57,877 --> 00:21:59,855
Well, in case you haven't
noticed, I'm not Lana Lang.
518
00:21:59,879 --> 00:22:01,086
I'm Lois Lane.
519
00:22:01,171 --> 00:22:03,333
You have the best of both
because Lana was a redhead.
520
00:22:03,424 --> 00:22:06,337
Is that mushy enough for you?
'Cause I've got to go save Metropolis.
521
00:22:09,221 --> 00:22:10,462
Save Metropolis.
522
00:22:11,307 --> 00:22:13,014
You don't even know
your own phone number.
523
00:22:15,060 --> 00:22:16,847
Okay, people! Listen up.
524
00:22:17,563 --> 00:22:21,056
As you may know a new attorney
has joined us, Faye Richardson.
525
00:22:21,150 --> 00:22:24,234
And I would like you all
to give her a very,
526
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,812
very warm welcome,
but don't bother her.
527
00:22:26,906 --> 00:22:29,774
Just give her a wide berth.
Any questions?
528
00:22:29,867 --> 00:22:31,028
Yes.
529
00:22:31,118 --> 00:22:34,361
You want us to make her
feel welcome by avoiding her?
530
00:22:34,455 --> 00:22:35,991
Excellent question, Susan.
531
00:22:36,081 --> 00:22:38,118
The answer is yes. Yes, I do.
532
00:22:38,417 --> 00:22:39,417
Um...
533
00:22:39,501 --> 00:22:40,501
Why?
534
00:22:41,211 --> 00:22:42,668
Another good question, Susan.
535
00:22:42,755 --> 00:22:45,919
Because as your leader,
I know what's best,
536
00:22:46,008 --> 00:22:49,001
and make no mistake,
I am your leader.
537
00:22:49,094 --> 00:22:51,507
- Okay, but...
- No one likes a talker, Susan.
538
00:22:51,597 --> 00:22:53,384
Any other questions? No?
539
00:22:53,474 --> 00:22:55,306
- Great.
- I have a question.
540
00:22:55,768 --> 00:22:56,768
Why is she here?
541
00:22:56,852 --> 00:22:58,652
Is she heading up
a new division or something?
542
00:22:59,146 --> 00:23:00,146
Sort of.
543
00:23:00,230 --> 00:23:02,096
She's actually
an ethics expert.
544
00:23:03,067 --> 00:23:04,794
In light of recent events,
I thought it would be wise
545
00:23:04,818 --> 00:23:07,356
to bring someone in to buttress
the firm's reputation.
546
00:23:08,572 --> 00:23:11,940
Actually, truth is,
she was reluctant to come...
547
00:23:12,743 --> 00:23:14,860
Oh. Don't let me
interrupt, Louis.
548
00:23:14,954 --> 00:23:17,537
You were saying
I was reluctant to come here.
549
00:23:17,623 --> 00:23:20,366
- Maybe not reluctant...
- But it was your idea.
550
00:23:20,459 --> 00:23:21,995
Isn't that what you said?
551
00:23:22,086 --> 00:23:24,294
And you would never lie
to your associates, would you?
552
00:23:24,380 --> 00:23:27,088
Framing things in context
isn't lying, Faye.
553
00:23:27,174 --> 00:23:30,008
Then let me ask a question
that needs no context.
554
00:23:30,094 --> 00:23:34,134
The Bar's leadership had doubts
about your ability to follow the law,
555
00:23:34,556 --> 00:23:35,797
and that's why I'm here.
556
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,932
Isn't that the case?
557
00:23:39,979 --> 00:23:40,979
Yes.
558
00:23:42,898 --> 00:23:44,184
Thank you for helping me
559
00:23:44,274 --> 00:23:46,891
get off on the right foot
with the associates, Louis.
560
00:23:46,986 --> 00:23:48,318
I appreciate it.
561
00:23:56,537 --> 00:23:58,779
- Alex, not now.
- Yes, now,
562
00:23:58,872 --> 00:24:00,976
because Bromwell just told me
they're being sued again.
563
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,957
- Shit, we just got them off.
- I know that.
564
00:24:03,043 --> 00:24:05,501
And to make matters worse,
we drew Judge Dorsey.
565
00:24:05,587 --> 00:24:07,920
God damn it! What?
566
00:24:08,007 --> 00:24:09,464
Louis, do you have a minute?
567
00:24:09,550 --> 00:24:12,918
Because I've hit a snag
with our new server problem.
568
00:24:13,012 --> 00:24:14,674
Cut the code.
Alex is on our side.
569
00:24:14,763 --> 00:24:16,595
In that case,
I need a digital copy
570
00:24:16,682 --> 00:24:18,924
of the Bar's bylaws,
but they're password protected.
571
00:24:19,018 --> 00:24:20,662
- Scan the ones I gave you.
- I tried that, but...
572
00:24:20,686 --> 00:24:22,393
Are you shitting me?
573
00:24:22,479 --> 00:24:24,846
You can't even scan a simple
document without screwing up?
574
00:24:24,940 --> 00:24:26,226
It wasn't my fault.
575
00:24:26,316 --> 00:24:28,003
Well, it isn't my fault
that we're in this situation,
576
00:24:28,027 --> 00:24:31,316
but here I am, busting my ass,
getting humiliated.
577
00:24:31,405 --> 00:24:35,194
And the one person that I ask to help me
can't even tie his own goddamn shoes.
578
00:24:35,284 --> 00:24:39,028
So I don't care what it takes,
get that copy and get it today.
579
00:24:39,163 --> 00:24:41,655
- But...
- Benjamin, give us a few minutes.
580
00:24:44,418 --> 00:24:46,785
Okay, Louis. What's going on?
581
00:24:46,879 --> 00:24:49,121
- You know what's going on.
- Yeah, I do.
582
00:24:49,214 --> 00:24:50,955
Because I bit my own
secretary's head off
583
00:24:51,050 --> 00:24:53,250
three seconds after getting
off the phone with Bromwell.
584
00:24:53,510 --> 00:24:55,172
- Not to mention...
- Not to mention what?
585
00:24:55,262 --> 00:24:56,798
Nothing. It's not important.
586
00:24:56,889 --> 00:24:59,176
What is important
is you and I are going out,
587
00:24:59,266 --> 00:25:00,677
and we're going out right now.
588
00:25:00,768 --> 00:25:03,260
- Alex, I don't need to...
- Yes, you do, and so do I.
589
00:25:03,353 --> 00:25:06,082
Because if we don't blow off some steam,
one of us is gonna kill someone.
590
00:25:06,106 --> 00:25:08,293
Well, then, what do you suggest?
Because there's no opera today.
591
00:25:08,317 --> 00:25:10,604
I have not gotten my mud
membership card back yet.
592
00:25:10,694 --> 00:25:12,814
And unless there's a cat fair
that I don't know about,
593
00:25:12,905 --> 00:25:14,191
we have got nothing.
594
00:25:15,783 --> 00:25:17,615
I have just the thing.
595
00:25:19,244 --> 00:25:21,782
Mr. Daly, how many
of your employees are veterans?
596
00:25:21,872 --> 00:25:26,162
I'm proud to say anywhere from
30% to 40% at any given time.
597
00:25:26,251 --> 00:25:27,662
So it's safe to say
598
00:25:27,753 --> 00:25:29,915
you're familiar with the struggles
many veterans face.
599
00:25:30,005 --> 00:25:32,122
I'm afraid you'll have
to be more specific.
600
00:25:32,216 --> 00:25:35,175
Post-traumatic stress disorder.
Is that specific enough?
601
00:25:35,260 --> 00:25:37,593
Yes, I'm familiar,
but what's your point?
602
00:25:37,679 --> 00:25:41,514
My point is, do you think
Lucas Hodges suffers from PTSD?
603
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,011
My client's
not a psychiatrist.
604
00:25:43,102 --> 00:25:44,822
He's the one who said
he's familiar with it.
605
00:25:44,853 --> 00:25:46,344
That doesn't
necessarily mean...
606
00:25:46,438 --> 00:25:50,682
You had his office furniture rearranged
so his back wouldn't face the door, Tom.
607
00:25:50,776 --> 00:25:52,212
And the only reason you would
do something like that
608
00:25:52,236 --> 00:25:53,727
is if you suspected the truth.
609
00:25:53,821 --> 00:25:56,234
- Suspicion is not knowing.
- Answer the question.
610
00:25:56,323 --> 00:25:59,316
Did you or did you
not suspect PTSD?
611
00:26:04,873 --> 00:26:07,365
Are you sure you want me
to answer that question?
612
00:26:07,459 --> 00:26:10,293
Because if you do,
I'm going to say, "Yes, I did."
613
00:26:11,130 --> 00:26:15,795
And then I'm gonna demand proof
that he is a member of a protected class,
614
00:26:15,884 --> 00:26:18,922
which means an official diagnosis
on his permanent record.
615
00:26:19,805 --> 00:26:23,173
Is that really what
your client wants, Ms. Wheeler?
616
00:26:25,060 --> 00:26:26,301
We didn't think so.
617
00:26:27,146 --> 00:26:31,140
Which is why we're prepared to offer
a sealed settlement of $25,000.
618
00:26:31,233 --> 00:26:34,067
That isn't even a third of
what he was gonna make this year.
619
00:26:34,194 --> 00:26:35,560
That's the best
you're gonna get.
620
00:26:36,822 --> 00:26:39,235
Take the deal,
and let everyone walk away,
621
00:26:39,324 --> 00:26:42,158
or he can turn the camera back
on and answer your question.
622
00:26:46,456 --> 00:26:48,869
Our offer stands for 24 hours.
623
00:27:03,473 --> 00:27:04,473
All right, so what,
624
00:27:04,558 --> 00:27:06,828
I just roll this thing down there
and knock over the sticks?
625
00:27:06,852 --> 00:27:07,852
Pins.
626
00:27:07,936 --> 00:27:09,205
How have you never
bowled before?
627
00:27:09,229 --> 00:27:13,348
Fourth grade, Joshua Hirshheiser had
a birthday bowling party.
628
00:27:13,442 --> 00:27:15,809
Before we even started,
I got my fingers stuck in the ball.
629
00:27:15,903 --> 00:27:17,895
They called me sausage fingers
till eighth grade.
630
00:27:17,988 --> 00:27:20,776
So what do I do?
I just throw... How do I throw it?
631
00:27:20,866 --> 00:27:22,732
Just walk to the line,
release it.
632
00:27:32,419 --> 00:27:35,002
That's okay.
Happens to everyone.
633
00:27:35,088 --> 00:27:37,296
Just try to keep
your arm straight.
634
00:27:37,382 --> 00:27:38,382
Ah!
635
00:27:45,557 --> 00:27:46,557
Shit!
636
00:27:48,310 --> 00:27:49,537
Maybe we should
try some bumpers.
637
00:27:49,561 --> 00:27:51,223
No! This is so stupid.
638
00:27:51,313 --> 00:27:52,373
If it weren't for the shoes,
639
00:27:52,397 --> 00:27:54,125
nobody would play
this ridiculous game at all.
640
00:27:54,149 --> 00:27:56,482
Okay, let's try granny style.
641
00:27:57,903 --> 00:28:00,316
Oh. Okay, yeah. No problem.
642
00:28:07,079 --> 00:28:08,286
God damn it!
643
00:28:08,372 --> 00:28:11,115
This is worse than when I lost
the junior wrestling championship!
644
00:28:11,208 --> 00:28:12,208
You wrestled?
645
00:28:12,292 --> 00:28:14,270
I don't know if you know this about me,
Alex, but I have a lot of rage.
646
00:28:14,294 --> 00:28:17,162
Wait a second.
Rage. That's it.
647
00:28:17,256 --> 00:28:21,000
Louis, I want you to imagine
Faye's face on all those pins.
648
00:28:21,969 --> 00:28:24,552
Imagine she's taking your firm
and laughing at you.
649
00:28:26,556 --> 00:28:28,343
Of course I'm taking
your firm, Louis.
650
00:28:28,433 --> 00:28:31,642
Because you're weak and ineffectual,
and you don't deserve it.
651
00:28:32,229 --> 00:28:33,470
Because you're nothing.
652
00:28:34,022 --> 00:28:36,355
You're a
sausage-fingered failure!
653
00:29:09,933 --> 00:29:12,093
Excuse me, miss, I'm here to
sign an engagement letter.
654
00:29:12,144 --> 00:29:13,430
Perhaps you could help me?
655
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,512
Thomas! Right on time.
656
00:29:15,605 --> 00:29:17,125
What can I say?
I'm nothing if not punctual.
657
00:29:17,149 --> 00:29:18,356
Well, Louis always did say
658
00:29:18,442 --> 00:29:19,919
that it was one of your
many stellar qualities.
659
00:29:19,943 --> 00:29:22,356
Oh, really? And what were
some of my others?
660
00:29:22,446 --> 00:29:23,857
Loyalty.
661
00:29:23,947 --> 00:29:26,439
- Integrity. Height.
- Height?
662
00:29:26,533 --> 00:29:28,775
What can I say? Louis prizes
what he doesn't have
663
00:29:28,869 --> 00:29:30,722
and the fact that you've got
that full head of hair?
664
00:29:30,746 --> 00:29:32,738
That makes you
practically a god.
665
00:29:35,375 --> 00:29:38,914
Well, as much as I could talk
about my stellar qualities all day...
666
00:29:39,004 --> 00:29:42,042
If we do that, then this
engagement letter won't sign itself.
667
00:29:42,758 --> 00:29:44,044
No, it won't.
668
00:29:45,552 --> 00:29:47,919
Well, all you have to
do is sign it,
669
00:29:48,013 --> 00:29:50,380
and I will make sure
that Harvey gets it right away.
670
00:29:50,474 --> 00:29:52,261
Oh, it's okay, Donna.
I can drop it off.
671
00:29:52,351 --> 00:29:55,389
He and I have some business
to discuss, anyway.
672
00:29:56,104 --> 00:29:57,936
It was good
to see you, Thomas.
673
00:29:58,940 --> 00:30:00,272
It was good to see you too.
674
00:30:06,323 --> 00:30:08,485
I can't believe you bowled
a perfect game!
675
00:30:08,575 --> 00:30:10,237
I can't believe
they didn't have rosé.
676
00:30:10,327 --> 00:30:12,068
So I see you went with piña
colada instead.
677
00:30:12,162 --> 00:30:13,448
Never disappoints.
678
00:30:13,789 --> 00:30:15,109
Thanks for bringing
me here, Alex.
679
00:30:16,041 --> 00:30:18,875
I haven't felt this
relaxed in days.
680
00:30:19,628 --> 00:30:23,247
It's like ever since she got here,
I've been on the outside of my own firm.
681
00:30:23,340 --> 00:30:26,174
Believe it or not, Louis,
I know exactly how you feel.
682
00:30:26,259 --> 00:30:27,419
When I first got to the firm,
683
00:30:27,469 --> 00:30:30,257
I thought Harvey and I were going
to be like Stockton and Malone.
684
00:30:30,972 --> 00:30:33,965
But, for whatever reason,
that didn't happen.
685
00:30:34,059 --> 00:30:36,016
Then I thought I was
getting my name on the wall,
686
00:30:36,103 --> 00:30:39,312
and I found myself in a death
match with Samantha instead.
687
00:30:40,273 --> 00:30:42,356
- I was no picnic either.
- Mmm.
688
00:30:42,943 --> 00:30:44,150
No, you were not.
689
00:30:44,486 --> 00:30:47,570
But the thing is, all that happened,
and I'm still standing.
690
00:30:47,989 --> 00:30:52,074
And, Louis, when this is done,
you'll be standing, too.
691
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,492
We'll be standing.
692
00:30:55,122 --> 00:30:56,122
So,
693
00:30:58,500 --> 00:30:59,991
about this wrestling thing.
694
00:31:02,003 --> 00:31:03,210
Not many people know.
695
00:31:03,463 --> 00:31:06,501
When I told Harvey, he got me
a onesie for my birthday.
696
00:31:08,343 --> 00:31:09,459
You ever wear it?
697
00:31:09,553 --> 00:31:10,794
That's not the point.
698
00:31:10,887 --> 00:31:11,887
Well,
699
00:31:13,056 --> 00:31:15,514
since we're talking about
things people don't know,
700
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:16,600
I tap.
701
00:31:17,018 --> 00:31:18,018
No way.
702
00:31:24,067 --> 00:31:28,437
Holy shit! How? When?
703
00:31:29,239 --> 00:31:30,925
My mom made me take lessons
when I was a kid.
704
00:31:30,949 --> 00:31:33,987
I don't believe it.
You have cats, you dance.
705
00:31:34,077 --> 00:31:35,797
You might be the manliest man
I've ever met.
706
00:31:35,829 --> 00:31:38,537
Well, what do you say we keep
my manliness between us?
707
00:31:38,623 --> 00:31:39,909
Oh, please, say no more.
708
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,038
I've had to downplay my masculinity
in front of Harvey for years.
709
00:31:43,128 --> 00:31:46,041
I'm sure you have, Louis.
I'm sure you have.
710
00:31:46,131 --> 00:31:47,131
Hmm.
711
00:31:48,592 --> 00:31:50,629
- Well?
- Well, what?
712
00:31:50,719 --> 00:31:53,257
- How did it go?
- Shitty.
713
00:31:53,346 --> 00:31:56,214
They offered us $25,000
and said if we want more,
714
00:31:56,308 --> 00:31:58,516
we'll have to go on record
with an official diagnosis.
715
00:31:59,269 --> 00:32:03,058
Okay, if they're offering that,
we can probably get them up another 25.
716
00:32:03,148 --> 00:32:05,891
$50,000 isn't enough.
I want 500.
717
00:32:05,984 --> 00:32:08,254
Samantha, that's never going to happen.
We have no leverage.
718
00:32:08,278 --> 00:32:09,278
So we'll get some.
719
00:32:09,362 --> 00:32:10,898
You're going to blackmail him?
720
00:32:10,989 --> 00:32:12,651
I'm gonna do right
by my client.
721
00:32:12,741 --> 00:32:16,280
And if you think extorting a settlement
is doing right by your client, then...
722
00:32:17,829 --> 00:32:19,474
Faye was right, you shouldn't
have taken this case.
723
00:32:19,498 --> 00:32:20,864
I don't believe this.
724
00:32:21,416 --> 00:32:24,534
- She got to you.
- No, Samantha, I got to me.
725
00:32:24,628 --> 00:32:27,416
And what you're talking about
is exactly the type of thing
726
00:32:27,506 --> 00:32:29,589
that got us handcuffed to her
in the first place.
727
00:32:29,674 --> 00:32:32,737
And if you think I asked for your help
so you could be little Sally Girl Scout...
728
00:32:32,761 --> 00:32:35,174
I think you're letting
your guilt blind you
729
00:32:35,263 --> 00:32:37,095
to what Lucas really needs,
730
00:32:37,182 --> 00:32:39,765
which is treatment
for his condition.
731
00:32:40,519 --> 00:32:42,135
You don't think I know that?
732
00:32:42,229 --> 00:32:46,439
I tried, but I can't make him
get help any more than I could...
733
00:32:47,317 --> 00:32:50,810
Samantha, I understand
what you're feeling.
734
00:32:50,904 --> 00:32:53,863
But this isn't the way
to help your friend.
735
00:33:03,291 --> 00:33:06,204
Donna, there you are.
I was looking all over for you.
736
00:33:06,670 --> 00:33:11,381
Listen, I wanted to tell you how sorry
I am about the other morning.
737
00:33:11,466 --> 00:33:12,627
Am I missing something?
738
00:33:13,176 --> 00:33:14,362
What do you have to
be sorry about?
739
00:33:14,386 --> 00:33:17,254
Well, you and Harvey came to me
with wonderful news,
740
00:33:17,347 --> 00:33:19,930
and I got so caught up
with the firm situation,
741
00:33:20,016 --> 00:33:22,328
that I really didn't get a chance
to say how happy I am for you.
742
00:33:22,352 --> 00:33:23,829
That's really thoughtful
of you, Louis,
743
00:33:23,853 --> 00:33:25,185
but I completely understood.
744
00:33:25,272 --> 00:33:26,638
All the same.
You're my friend.
745
00:33:26,731 --> 00:33:29,018
Monumental thing happened
for you, and...
746
00:33:30,151 --> 00:33:31,483
I want to hear all about it.
747
00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:33,986
- You mean girl talk?
- You know it.
748
00:33:34,406 --> 00:33:36,113
Which means I want to hear
how it happened.
749
00:33:36,199 --> 00:33:37,199
I will tell you.
750
00:33:37,284 --> 00:33:38,553
- When it happened.
- All the details.
751
00:33:38,577 --> 00:33:40,680
- What was it like?
- Okay, I'm shutting this down right now.
752
00:33:40,704 --> 00:33:42,024
No, Donna, I don't
mean like that.
753
00:33:42,872 --> 00:33:44,392
I just want to do
a side-by-side comparison
754
00:33:44,416 --> 00:33:45,623
of Harvey's style to mine.
755
00:33:46,918 --> 00:33:49,205
- What is wrong with you?
- Okay, fine.
756
00:33:49,671 --> 00:33:50,671
I'm sorry.
757
00:33:50,755 --> 00:33:52,291
What I mean to say is...
758
00:33:52,382 --> 00:33:53,623
I'm thrilled for you.
759
00:33:54,926 --> 00:33:58,966
- I'm even happier for Harvey.
- Oh! Really? And why is that?
760
00:33:59,055 --> 00:34:02,093
Because you're the best thing
that's ever happened to him.
761
00:34:03,018 --> 00:34:04,975
And he finally knows it.
762
00:34:06,646 --> 00:34:08,566
That's the sweetest thing
you've ever said to me.
763
00:34:08,607 --> 00:34:11,941
Does this mean you'll reconsider
describing Harvey's technique to me?
764
00:34:12,736 --> 00:34:14,398
All right, then we'll
do it later.
765
00:34:16,823 --> 00:34:19,566
You are not gonna believe
what Louis just tried to...
766
00:34:19,659 --> 00:34:21,275
Thomas backed out, Donna.
767
00:34:22,704 --> 00:34:23,704
What?
768
00:34:23,788 --> 00:34:26,622
He said he thought he could
handle it, but he couldn't.
769
00:34:26,708 --> 00:34:29,496
Harvey, I told Faye
that he was signing with us.
770
00:34:29,586 --> 00:34:31,746
- This means that he's gonna...
- I know what it means.
771
00:34:32,756 --> 00:34:34,918
She's gonna want to
go back to interviewing him.
772
00:34:36,051 --> 00:34:38,088
No. She won't.
773
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:41,511
'Cause I'm gonna tell
her the truth.
774
00:34:49,564 --> 00:34:51,601
Donna, what can I do for you?
775
00:34:52,984 --> 00:34:54,395
You can listen.
776
00:34:55,862 --> 00:34:57,694
And hopefully understand.
777
00:34:58,698 --> 00:34:59,734
Understand what?
778
00:34:59,824 --> 00:35:01,656
Why Thomas Kessler left.
779
00:35:02,661 --> 00:35:04,698
I was under the impression
it didn't matter
780
00:35:04,788 --> 00:35:06,495
when you told me
he was coming back.
781
00:35:06,581 --> 00:35:07,947
He's not.
782
00:35:08,041 --> 00:35:10,158
And the reason he's not
is the same reason he left.
783
00:35:12,128 --> 00:35:15,712
Thomas wasn't just a client.
He and I were in a relationship.
784
00:35:15,799 --> 00:35:17,665
- Were?
- Yes.
785
00:35:17,759 --> 00:35:20,797
We ended it a few days ago,
and you can ask him about it yourself,
786
00:35:20,887 --> 00:35:23,425
but you would just be
making him reopen a wound
787
00:35:23,515 --> 00:35:24,756
that he is trying to close.
788
00:35:25,350 --> 00:35:27,433
Why didn't you
tell me this before?
789
00:35:27,519 --> 00:35:31,433
Have you ever been in a relationship
that you thought would last but didn't,
790
00:35:31,523 --> 00:35:33,310
and when it ended,
791
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,895
there was collateral damage
that you never could've anticipated,
792
00:35:37,987 --> 00:35:39,694
but still felt
responsible for?
793
00:35:45,453 --> 00:35:46,660
That's why.
794
00:35:48,123 --> 00:35:50,365
You can cancel
the interview, Donna.
795
00:35:51,793 --> 00:35:54,456
And thank you
for telling me the truth.
796
00:36:02,220 --> 00:36:03,220
What's that?
797
00:36:03,888 --> 00:36:07,177
It's a settlement offer
for $25,000.
798
00:36:07,267 --> 00:36:09,384
I don't want a settlement.
I want my job back!
799
00:36:09,477 --> 00:36:11,013
Lucas, listen to me.
800
00:36:12,188 --> 00:36:15,477
It took me a long time
to admit that sometimes I need help.
801
00:36:15,567 --> 00:36:18,685
And right now you need
professional help.
802
00:36:18,820 --> 00:36:20,798
You're not gonna get out
of this hole without...
803
00:36:20,822 --> 00:36:23,656
- Damn it, I told you!
- I know what you told me.
804
00:36:24,367 --> 00:36:25,528
But you're my friend.
805
00:36:25,618 --> 00:36:28,611
You're still living back there,
and I am not gonna leave you behind.
806
00:36:28,705 --> 00:36:30,391
What do you know about this?
You weren't even there!
807
00:36:30,415 --> 00:36:32,907
And I will feel guilty about
that for the rest of my life.
808
00:36:34,169 --> 00:36:35,751
But what I'm not gonna do
809
00:36:35,837 --> 00:36:40,582
is let you leave here
without signing this job offer.
810
00:36:40,717 --> 00:36:43,551
- What? I thought you couldn't...
- I can't.
811
00:36:45,013 --> 00:36:47,676
I created a corporation.
812
00:36:47,766 --> 00:36:50,634
That is a contract
between you and SW Industries.
813
00:36:51,686 --> 00:36:55,350
To the world, you have a job.
One year, the pay is $100,000.
814
00:36:57,776 --> 00:36:59,142
I can't take your money.
815
00:36:59,694 --> 00:37:01,526
It's not charity.
816
00:37:01,613 --> 00:37:05,983
If you don't get the help you need,
that contract is null and void.
817
00:37:08,495 --> 00:37:12,785
Lucas, I have only ever told
one other person this.
818
00:37:15,627 --> 00:37:17,869
I was beaten as a kid.
819
00:37:19,422 --> 00:37:21,960
And it took admitting
that I needed professional help
820
00:37:22,050 --> 00:37:23,211
to get over it.
821
00:37:25,804 --> 00:37:27,591
You've been to war.
822
00:37:35,897 --> 00:37:37,729
I told myself
I could handle it.
823
00:37:37,816 --> 00:37:38,932
You can.
824
00:37:41,110 --> 00:37:43,227
You just can't
do it alone.
825
00:37:48,993 --> 00:37:51,827
Mmm. That looks delicious.
Mind if I have some?
826
00:37:52,747 --> 00:37:54,454
- You want some prunie?
- I would.
827
00:37:54,541 --> 00:37:57,750
In fact, why don't you pour another glass
and we could take it down to Benjamin?
828
00:37:57,836 --> 00:37:59,452
He's been working so hard.
829
00:37:59,546 --> 00:38:00,912
- Benjamin?
- Mmm-hmm.
830
00:38:01,005 --> 00:38:02,965
Yeah, I was having
a little trouble with my email,
831
00:38:03,049 --> 00:38:04,961
so I went to get him,
and wouldn't you know it,
832
00:38:05,051 --> 00:38:07,259
I found him hip deep
in the Bar's bylaws.
833
00:38:07,345 --> 00:38:08,906
Well, you know,
Benjamin is an avid reader.
834
00:38:08,930 --> 00:38:13,140
Especially when he's given
an assignment by the managing partner.
835
00:38:14,018 --> 00:38:15,259
I don't believe it.
He told you.
836
00:38:15,353 --> 00:38:18,016
That's what you're
concerned about?
837
00:38:18,106 --> 00:38:19,642
You people!
838
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,893
I come here and give you
a chance to clean up your act,
839
00:38:23,987 --> 00:38:25,353
and inside of two days,
840
00:38:25,446 --> 00:38:27,483
not only am I openly defied
left and right,
841
00:38:27,574 --> 00:38:30,317
but I find out the managing partner
wants me gone so badly,
842
00:38:30,410 --> 00:38:32,130
he ordered someone
to hack the New York Bar!
843
00:38:32,161 --> 00:38:33,921
Bullshit, I didn't order
Benjamin to do that!
844
00:38:33,955 --> 00:38:35,617
Are you saying
he's lying to me now?
845
00:38:35,707 --> 00:38:38,620
I'm saying I told him that
I didn't give a shit what it took.
846
00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:40,793
I wanted the bylaws.
I didn't mean for him to...
847
00:38:40,879 --> 00:38:42,086
To hack them?
848
00:38:42,171 --> 00:38:45,039
Well, that's what he took it to mean.
Because you gave him an order.
849
00:38:45,133 --> 00:38:46,853
Said you didn't care
how he accomplished it.
850
00:38:46,885 --> 00:38:48,717
And you know what?
As far as I'm concerned,
851
00:38:48,803 --> 00:38:50,920
you're lucky I'm not
letting you go right now.
852
00:38:51,014 --> 00:38:52,425
You can't talk
to me like that.
853
00:38:52,515 --> 00:38:54,222
That's the problem
with this place.
854
00:38:54,309 --> 00:38:56,301
You're a bunch of wild dogs
running around,
855
00:38:56,394 --> 00:38:59,228
defecating all over the legal
standards you swore to uphold.
856
00:38:59,314 --> 00:39:03,729
And you can bet your ass I'm gonna put
a leash on every one of you.
857
00:39:14,245 --> 00:39:15,861
- Well?
- It's done.
858
00:39:16,748 --> 00:39:17,909
We're off the hook.
859
00:39:19,167 --> 00:39:20,328
Then she bought it.
860
00:39:20,418 --> 00:39:22,876
It was the truth, Harvey.
There was nothing to buy.
861
00:39:23,838 --> 00:39:27,002
Hey, what do you say
we break out the can opener?
862
00:39:27,467 --> 00:39:28,467
Whoa.
863
00:39:28,551 --> 00:39:31,635
That is a pretrial thing, not
a we-just-got-out-of-trouble thing.
864
00:39:31,721 --> 00:39:33,007
Who says it can't be both?
865
00:39:33,097 --> 00:39:36,590
The can opener says it can't be both.
You can't argue with the can opener.
866
00:39:36,684 --> 00:39:38,787
- Hey, I'm not the bad guy here.
- You might not be the bad guy,
867
00:39:38,811 --> 00:39:40,456
- but that doesn't mean that...
- I hate to interrupt,
868
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,689
but you need to get yourselves over to IT,
and you need to do it right now.
869
00:39:49,155 --> 00:39:50,521
What the fuck did you do?
870
00:39:50,615 --> 00:39:52,843
Louis, you don't understand.
She knew before I even told her.
871
00:39:52,867 --> 00:39:56,577
Bullshit. She knew because you told her.
You betrayed me. You betrayed this firm...
872
00:39:56,663 --> 00:39:58,074
I tried to hide it, I swear.
873
00:39:58,164 --> 00:39:59,975
Save your pathetic excuses,
and get the hell out of my firm.
874
00:39:59,999 --> 00:40:01,206
You are fired.
875
00:40:01,292 --> 00:40:03,079
- Louis, stop!
- Stay out of this.
876
00:40:03,169 --> 00:40:04,730
She's not staying out of it,
and neither am I.
877
00:40:04,754 --> 00:40:05,814
What the hell
is going on here?
878
00:40:05,838 --> 00:40:07,718
I asked this traitor
to help us get rid of Faye.
879
00:40:07,757 --> 00:40:09,373
Instead of doing it,
he ratted me out.
880
00:40:09,467 --> 00:40:11,820
Louis, what was I supposed to do?
She found out about the hack.
881
00:40:11,844 --> 00:40:12,844
What hack?
882
00:40:12,929 --> 00:40:14,889
He asked me to find
a loophole in the Bar's bylaws
883
00:40:14,973 --> 00:40:16,464
that he could use
to get Faye out.
884
00:40:16,557 --> 00:40:18,389
Louis, you had no right
to ask him that.
885
00:40:18,476 --> 00:40:20,684
Bullshit, I had every right!
I'm the managing partner.
886
00:40:20,770 --> 00:40:22,122
Just like I have
the right to fire him.
887
00:40:22,146 --> 00:40:26,060
No, you don't. There's three of us here.
I'm calling it to a vote. I'm against.
888
00:40:26,150 --> 00:40:29,063
You can't do that. He's support staff.
It's not subject to a vote.
889
00:40:29,153 --> 00:40:31,145
The hell it isn't!
Right, Harvey?
890
00:40:32,073 --> 00:40:33,564
Right. Louis...
891
00:40:33,658 --> 00:40:35,594
Okay, this is horseshit.
You're just agreeing with Donna
892
00:40:35,618 --> 00:40:37,298
because you don't want her
to be mad at you
893
00:40:37,328 --> 00:40:38,389
now that you're
in a relationship.
894
00:40:38,413 --> 00:40:39,494
Louis, that's ridiculous.
895
00:40:39,580 --> 00:40:42,072
Harvey would never side with me
just because of that.
896
00:40:43,543 --> 00:40:47,583
Yeah, I knew it. Which means
it's my call. Benjamin's gone.
897
00:40:47,672 --> 00:40:49,083
No, he's not.
898
00:40:49,173 --> 00:40:51,756
Because this shows
an utter lack of judgment.
899
00:40:51,843 --> 00:40:53,175
And I'm not letting it stand.
900
00:40:53,261 --> 00:40:54,655
No, you're just going
to come in here
901
00:40:54,679 --> 00:40:57,074
and publicly humiliate me
for the third time in as many days.
902
00:40:57,098 --> 00:40:58,098
Well, forgive me
903
00:40:58,182 --> 00:41:00,265
if I don't feel like
sticking around for your party.
904
00:41:04,605 --> 00:41:05,605
Bowling?
905
00:41:07,108 --> 00:41:08,690
He's already telling people?
906
00:41:08,776 --> 00:41:10,233
No, I went
by his office earlier
907
00:41:10,319 --> 00:41:13,687
to see how he's doing
with the whole Faye thing,
908
00:41:13,781 --> 00:41:15,341
and Gretchen told me
where you two were.
909
00:41:15,408 --> 00:41:17,650
Well, if you want to know
how it went,
910
00:41:17,744 --> 00:41:19,201
the man's actually a natural.
911
00:41:19,787 --> 00:41:20,787
I'm not surprised.
912
00:41:21,622 --> 00:41:24,581
- You aren't?
- No, once he puts his mind to things,
913
00:41:24,667 --> 00:41:26,909
Louis is an incredibly
quick study.
914
00:41:27,003 --> 00:41:29,290
- You really do know him.
- I do.
915
00:41:29,839 --> 00:41:31,000
Which is why I know
916
00:41:31,090 --> 00:41:34,049
he's going to need his friends
now more than ever.
917
00:41:34,135 --> 00:41:36,878
You were there for him today,
and I appreciate that.
918
00:41:36,971 --> 00:41:39,133
Well, I'll be there
for him tomorrow, too.
919
00:41:39,223 --> 00:41:40,555
We all will.
920
00:41:54,989 --> 00:41:56,196
What are you doing here?
921
00:41:56,282 --> 00:41:58,114
I heard what you said
about humiliating you,
922
00:41:58,201 --> 00:42:00,818
so I'm coming to you in private
to say what I have to say.
923
00:42:01,287 --> 00:42:02,287
What is it?
924
00:42:02,371 --> 00:42:03,891
Well, for starters,
Benjamin is staying
925
00:42:03,956 --> 00:42:07,290
because he doesn't deserve to be punished
for doing something you made him do.
926
00:42:07,376 --> 00:42:08,687
I told you, I didn't
make him do anything...
927
00:42:08,711 --> 00:42:09,711
And Wells Fargo
928
00:42:09,796 --> 00:42:12,880
didn't make its employees
open those fake accounts.
929
00:42:12,965 --> 00:42:15,673
But pressure from the top
is hard to withstand.
930
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,821
Well, then why don't you have that
engraved on a paperweight?
931
00:42:17,845 --> 00:42:20,804
Because you may be special master,
but I'm managing partner.
932
00:42:20,932 --> 00:42:23,970
- That gives me certain rights...
- Not anymore.
933
00:42:24,060 --> 00:42:25,060
What?
934
00:42:25,144 --> 00:42:27,206
Because I went after your bylaws,
you think you can go after mine?
935
00:42:27,230 --> 00:42:29,347
Good luck. They're airtight.
936
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,478
I meant you're not
managing partner anymore.
937
00:42:33,611 --> 00:42:35,318
Effective immediately.
938
00:42:35,404 --> 00:42:38,363
You're stripped of your title
and all the duties that go with it.
939
00:42:38,449 --> 00:42:41,362
You can either accept
this or resign.
