[NARRATOR READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]

It was years ago,

and it was only one time,

but Donna and I slept together.

Why understand why you go

after the unattainable woman?

You're titilated

by what you cannot have.

But I can have her, doc.

The only circumstances

under which you can have her

are if you choose

to be the bad boy.

This is the second time you

haven't told me the full truth

in as many conversations,

and right now I need

some time to myself.

Paula, please--

No, if you can't put

my need to process over

your need to feel okay

about yourself,

then I'm afraid

we'll never get past this.

Lewis, what are you--

[♪♪♪]

We're going into your building

and we're going in right now.

I'm ready

to be a bad boy.

It was 12 years ago.

I've come so far.

I made peace with my mom,

and you're the one that helped

me with that, not Donna.

So the question is,

do you still wanna come with me?

I do, Harvey.

[♪♪♪]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

Hey.

Hey.

Want a cup of coffee?

Is it the morning?

You know, for someone

who doesn't cook,

you make surprisingly

good coffee.

As I recall, I made you

a delicious steak dinner

not too long ago.

Yeah, and we both know that

grilling isn't cooking.

Obviously, you've never had

a double Whopper with cheese.

True, but I can't imagine

it has anything on this coffee.

Put something extra in it,

don't you?

Vanilla.

What?

Paula, I know the last

few days have been rough,

but I promise you,

from now on,

I'm not gonna keep

something important from you

just because I'm scared.

Thank you, Harvey.

[♪♪♪]

What do you say

we go out tonight,

have a nice dinner,

and remind ourselves

why we're together

in the first place?

Yeah, that'd be nice.

I'd like that.

[CRASHING NOISE]

Shit.

My cell's in the living room.

I know someone's there.

You should know,

I'm armed and dangerous,

so get out now

while you still can.

This is your last chance.

I have a gun,

and I'm ready to use it.

WOMAN:

Good.

But that's not the gun

I'm here for.

So you better be

locked and loaded,

because your only choice now

is to fill me with lead.

Oh, my gosh,

this is so hot.

Louis, stay in character.

I'm the burglar.

I-I got it.

And you're about to be

stripped clean.

Yeah, I am.

What are you gonna

make off with, you thief?

My money?

My bonds? My jewels?

[LAUGHS]

Oh, I'm after your jewels.

And it looks like

I found them!

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Holy shit.

Sheila, I can't help it.

I love it when you--

Ah, ah, ah.

Rule 29.

No L word.

I wasn't using it in--

[♪♪♪]

We were very clear

on the rules, Louis.

We wrote the Bill of Badness.

It outlined your lack of rights,

and you signed it.

Sorry. I don't know

what came over me.

It's okay. You're forgiven.

But do it again,

and next time,

we play prisoner...guard.

Well then,

I will do it again.

Good,

'cause I already got my Taser.

Teddy, what are you

doing here?

I thought you were off

sailing around the world.

And I thought you were

in the office down the hall.

Then I guess the news

didn't make it to Macau.

Jessica's out.

I'm Managing Partner.

Louis is number two,

and Donna's our new COO.

Oh, glad to hear some people

still get rewarded

for loyalty and hard work.

What does that mean?

It means I got a call from the

crew captain at my old factory.

Apparently, Adidas got an offer,

sold the company to Kurt Baxter.

There's no way he

keeps your company intact.

Why do you think I'm here?

Baxter's gonna ship

all the labor overseas,

which means my guys

are permanently out of work.

I get you want to stop this,

but you sold the company,

and they sold it to

someone else.

We don't have a legal leg

to stand on.

Harvey, I built my company

on those guys' backs.

I gave them my word

that they'd be protected.

If I let them get tossed out,

I'm as bad as Baxter.

Now, I know I'm asking for

the impossible, but...

isn't the impossible

what you do?

All right, Teddy.

I'll see what I can do.

[♪♪♪]

♪ See the money

Wanna stay for your meal ♪

♪ Get another piece of pie

For your wife♪

♪ Everybody wanna know

How it feel♪

♪ Everybody wanna see

What it's like♪

♪ I'll even eat a bean pie

I don't mind ♪

♪ Me and Missy is so busy

Busy making money♪

♪ All right♪

♪ All step back

I'm 'bout to dance♪

♪ The greenback boogie ♪

Hey,

whatever you're working on,

what's the timeline?

Uh, it's not urgent,

if that's what you're asking.

So why are you asking?

Teddy Doyle just came

to see me.

I thought he retired.

He did,

but situation's come up,

and he asked for my help.

What kind of situation?

The kind that includes

Kurt Baxter

buying his old company

and laying off

the whole factory.

If you're coming to me

to stop Baxter,

it must mean that there is

no way we can.

Just like there

was no way for you

to sue your own client

in a class action,

or get into the New York

State Bar after going to prison.

You're right, I leap tall

buildings in a single bound.

Good call, coming to me.

That's why I'm Managing Partner.

Why doesn't he buy his company

back, call it a day?

Because Teddy sold it

for 200, Baxter wants 5,

and unless you got an extra

300 mil laying around,

he doesn't have the money.

Well that's it.

What do you got?

Baxter doesn't care

where he makes his money from.

He just cares that it's green.

So we need to figure out

how to make more money keeping

the factory open than closed,

and those workers are safe.

And I might have time

to fly around the city tonight.

You know I'm not gonna let you

keep calling yourself Superman?

Because that only leaves you

with Aquaman?

He can breathe underwater.

All right, fine, Harvey.

You can still be Batman.

Or Green Lantern,

or Wonder Woman.

I can just keep doing this.

How about Hawkman, huh?

Okay.

The Silent Man it is.

[♪♪♪]

Gretchen.

What are you

bellowing about now?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe the fact that

I'm sitting with

a freshly blended prunie,

30 minutes to myself,

and no morning newspaper?

Because when I went to get one,

they were out.

Then why don't you go to

the newsstand down the street?

I'm your secretary not

the paper boy, and that's that.

No, that is not that.

A day hasn't gone by

that I haven't read

the newspaper since I was 9.

If it's all the same to you,

I'll go find one myself.

Wait. They had the paper I

just didn't want you to see it.

Why not?

There's an announcement

in there, Louis.

That Sazs woman's getting

married in less than a week.

I know that, Gretchen,

and I appreciate your concern,

but I've accepted

she is moving on, and so am I.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm gonna go downstairs

and get the newspaper.

You're still tapping that,

aren't you?

Say what?

Don't lie to me.

You got a big old grin

one second after mentioning

that woman moving on.

It was not a grin.

I don't care.

You're dipping your pudding pop

in someone else's candy cane.

That doesn't make sense.

Louis Jr.'s having himself

a slumber party.

Please do not call him that.

Johnny-ready-to-go's

snazzing round

the neighborhood.

All right, fine!

So what if I am?

So nothing.

You're not gonna tell me

this is a mistake?

It is, but since you're already

making it, might as well skip

the part where I tell you

you're crazy and get

to where disaster ensues.

It's not going to ensue,

'cause I know what I'm doing

and I can live with my decision.

I don't even need

the newspaper anymore,

so if you don't mind,

I'm gonna finish up my prunie

and I'm make plans

for my slumber party

with my pudding pop.

[♪♪♪]

Hey.

Hey.

Mind if I ask

what you're working on?

Uh, actually,

I'm in the middle of

doing the impossible

for Harvey.

But doing the impossible

is not gonna keep me out of

Father Walker's office

at 7:00 p.m. tonight,

which is what you came in here

to remind me of.

You think you know me

so well, don't you?

Some might say better than

you know yourself.

Then tell me, what am I

going to ask you right now?

"How'd you get

so damn handsome?"

[LAUGHS]

"Have you been working out?"

"Tell me the truth:

is it the working out

that's made you so handsome?"

Mike...

You're about to ask me

if I've had time

to get to the questionnaire yet,

and I haven't,

but it is right...here.

Mike, Father Walker said

it's important

for each of us to write down

what we want as a couple

and where

we see our lives going.

I know,

which is why I promise

to have it filled out

by tonight.

Thank you.

[♪♪♪]

Well?

Well what?

You got something?

Let me get this straight.

You asked me to do

the impossible,

then 15 seconds later you

assume I came up with an idea?

So you came all the way here

to tell me you got nothing?

Would I do that?

You've done it before.

And I'll do it again,

but not today.

[CLEARS THROAT]

It's good, Mike.

Did you do it yet,

or did you just think of it?

It's done.

How'd you manage that?

I went back to my roots.

People love Teddy.

They care about him.

I decided to use that

to our advantage.

That's good.

It's what I'd do.

Then why didn't you?

And miss out on all of this?

Yeah, this isn't so good,

you know.

You say that now,

but someday,

you're gonna miss me,

buddy. Trust me.

Am I?

Nothing lasts forever.

Come on.

Let's go save some jobs.

I love this part.

[♪♪♪]

[LINE RINGING]

Louis, I thought we agreed

you can't call me here.

LOUIS [ON PHONE]:

I don't care

what we agreed on.

I want you, and I'm not

gonna be denied.

What?

You heard me.

My neighborhood watch won't

be on patrol tomorrow night,

and I'm prime

for another break-in.

Okay, Louis,

as much as your

lack of security excites me,

I can't tomorrow.

I have to work.

Then watch out

for the janitor,

because he's coming

to clean your office,

and it's very, very dirty.

Louis, I can't.

I need to review

some application files

since I got to work late

this morning.

You negligent hussy.

Sounds like someone

needs a spanking.

Louis, this bad boy thing

is working for you.

Call me "Louis" again,

and I'm gonna smack--

Oh, my God,

this is so powerful.

In that case,

forget the janitor.

The Dean of Admissions

is coming to check your work

tomorrow night, Miss Sazs.

Ah.

You mean Dean Hans

von Schlongenhammer?

[GERMAN ACCENT]

I see you heard of me,

and those papers

better be in order, Miss Sazs,

or you're going to get a hammer

from the schlongen.

Well in that case,

I will be unprepared

for an inspection

at 8:30 sharp.

[NORMAL VOICE]

Wait, can we make it 7:30?

I have a prostate exam

in the morning.

MAN:

What do you think?

It's a hell of a view.

Better be.

Remember that building

on the corner of 57th?

It was blocking the park,

so I bought it,

then I tore it down.

Is that what you

plan on doing

with Teddy Doyle's company?

It's not Doyle's company,

it's mine.

What can I do

for you gentlemen?

Actually, it's more of

what we can do for you.

Then get to the point.

We know you're planning

on shipping

those manufacturing jobs

overseas.

What if we told you that

instead of doing that,

we'd cut a deal

with Teddy's old suppliers

that would lower your costs

by 30 percent

in exchange for

a five-year contract?

I'd say thanks,

but no thanks.

Did you hear what I said?

That would increase

your cash flow by 80 percent.

So what?

Kurt,

I understand you not

giving a shit about people

when it makes money,

but not doing this costs money.

No, it doesn't,

because I don't just want

more cash flow.

I wanna sell the company,

and China's not gonna buy it

unless jobs come with it.

Well if you just wanna sell,

then why the hell'd

we take this meeting?

'Cause I didn't think

the mighty Harvey Specter's

going to come down here,

groveling for a few jobs.

I thought he was going

to match their price,

because I'll let you in

on a secret.

Paying me is the only way

those jobs are staying here.

Enjoy the view.

[♪♪♪]

Harvey, listen to me.

No, you listen to me.

I'm not gonna stop because

some asshole with a view

wants a bidding war.

We'll find another way.

That was the other way.

I know that Teddy's your friend,

but he walked away.

He wouldn't have done that

if he'd known those workers

wouldn't be able

to feed their families.

You, of all people,

should relate to that.

And you know emotion

shouldn't mix with business.

You two want to let me in

on what's going on?

Donna, I don't have time--

Teddy caught me up,

including the fact that

he asked you to do something

you have no standing to do.

I'm here to find out what it is.

There's nothing to get into.

Unless Teddy

suddenly finds enough money

to match the Chinese,

it's over.

Unless he doesn't

need more money.

What the hell

are you talking about?

I'm saying we push

the price back

to what Teddy sold it for

and we get Stu Buzzini

to help us.

You're talking about

shorting his stock.

You think Baxter hasn't done

the same a thousand times?

I don't care how many

times he's done it.

Putting downward

pressure on a stock

just to help a takeover

attempt is illegal.

We can't ask Stu to do that.

It's not illegal.

It's a civil violation.

All we have to do

is convince Stu of that.

And how are we gonna do that?

We go to Louis.

Stu trusts him,

and he's an expert

on Securities Law.

This isn't a good idea.

You don't have to get Louis.

I'll do it.

Donna--

Harvey, I know Stu.

This isn't about convincing him

with legal arguments.

This is about

appealing personally,

and nobody can do that

better than me.

Donna, you sure

you want to do this?

I'm sure I've seen

that look in Harvey's eye,

which means someone's gonna do

it, whether I like it or not,

and I'm sure if anybody

can convince Stu, it's me.

[♪♪♪]

WOMAN:

Gretchen! Hi.

However long 300 collated copies

of Miller v. Georgia takes,

that's how long I'll be.

That's not what

I was going to ask.

I wanted to know

if Louis is seeing someone.

Say what now?

If he isn't seeing someone,

then I don't want to

make him feel badly

by including a plus-one,

but if he is seeing someone,

then I don't want to be rude

by not including a plus-one.

Oh, he's seeing someone,

all right.

What does that mean?

W-What now? I forgot

your original question.

No, no, no,

you just said

he's seeing someone

in a way that clearly means

you know something.

[LOUDLY]

I'm sorry,

I can't hear you

over this rickety copier.

[CLEARS THROAT]

So that's how this

is gonna be, huh?

What are you not telling me?

Louis is sleeping

with Sheila Sazs

behind her fiancé's back.

I told him he was crazy.

God only knows what goes on

in that man's soul.

Now can you plug that thing

back in, please?

I got copying to do.

[♪♪♪]

WOMAN:

Didn't anyone ever tell you

that staring at screens

is bad for the eyes?

Didn't anyone ever tell you

you're good for the eyes?

Only every day.

It's good to see you, Donna.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

I'm here to discuss

a business opportunity.

I'm all ears. The last time

you came to me with

one of those, I made a killing.

Then get ready

to make another one

by shorting Doyle Shoes.

Doyle Shoes is about to be sold

at an 80 percent premium.

Is it?

Okay, what's going on here,

Donna?

What do you know that I don't?

I know that if you short

that stock you'll make a fortune

and a good man will get

his company back.

And driving stock price down

to help a takeover

is an SEC violation.

It's a risk to make money.

It's what you do.

Not that kind of risk.

Not my license.

Keeping your license won't

stop you from being dethroned.

You say my guys

are coming after me?

Look around. Every single

one of these guys

is a young you,

looking to take you down.

Traders are gunslingers, Stu,

and gunslingers

don't follow people

who never sling a gun.

You guarantee I'm gonna make

a ton of money on this

and not get caught?

I'm not gonna lie,

you might lose your license,

but like I said,

you're not in this

for the money,

and sooner or later,

you stop taking risks,

you're not gonna

be king anymore.

[♪♪♪]

[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]

Mom, hey.

MOM [ON PHONE]:

Am I interrupting?

No, I'm just doing some work.

I'm just getting ready

to come down there.

You coming to the city?

Yeah, just for tonight.

I know it's last-minute,

but I was hoping you might be

available for dinner.

Dinner?

Yeah, you know,

the meal people usually

eat in the evening?

Yeah, I know what dinner

is, Mom.

[LAUGHS]

Would you like to have some?

Of course I would.

It's just, I have plans tonight

with the woman

I've been seeing,

and we've just gone through

a little something, and I--

Say no more.

Just tell me her name

in case I talk to Marcus.

It'll be fun to have

the scoop on him.

Her name's Paula, Mom.

[♪♪♪]

Why don't you join us?

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'd love to have you,

and uh, I'm sure

she would, too.

Then I'd love to.

Just tell me where and when.

Louis.

Do you have a minute?

For you, Rachel, always.

What's on your mind?

I was just

on my way out,

and I don't really know

how to say this,

but--

Rachel, what's going on?

Okay, look.

I don't know if

you're seeing anyone

right now, or not,

but I just wanted you

to know that

no matter who it is,

if they make you happy,

then they are more than welcome

to come to our wedding.

Gretchen told you,

didn't she?

Yeah, she may have told me.

But Louis, you were the one

that told me

that Sheila came to you

in the first place,

and I told you that no matter

what you decided,

it wasn't going to change

the way I feel about you,

and I just want you to know

that it hasn't.

Um, Rachel,

I appreciate that,

but Sheila and I

can't be seen in public,

and to tell you the truth,

I wouldn't change that.

You wouldn't?

No.

In fact, for the first

time in my life,

I have confidence.

I feel like a king.

Well...

Louis, it is my pleasure

to inform you

that I officially rescind

your plus-one.

Thank you, Rachel.

I appreciate you understanding.

[♪♪♪]

Well hello, you.

HARVEY: Am I interrupting?

No.

I was just finishing up

my notes for the night.

Good, because there's

something I want to ask you.

What is it?

I know that tonight

was supposed to be

just for us,

but my mom's gonna be in town

for the night,

and I was hoping that

maybe she could join us.

Harvey, I'd love to

just say yes, but...

What is it?

Having dinner with your mother

would be a big thing,

and we just went through

a big thing.

That thing

wasn't a good thing.

This would be.

I know-- it's just,

are you sure this is

the perfect time?

Paula, I may not have a lot

of experience in this arena,

but is there such a thing

as a perfect time

to meet someone's mother?

No, you're right.

Of course she can join us.

Now I have to go.

I need to figure out

what I'm gonna wear.

Wear the dress with the thing.

She'll love it.

How do you know?

Because I love it.

I'm looking forward to it,

Harvey.

I'll pick you up at 8:00.

Harvey. Baxter's

on the phone, line two.

What do you mean, line two?

What are you, my secretary now?

He called, I transferred to you

so we could do this together.

You know how to transfer?

They teach you that?

I always drop the call.

He's gonna drop the call

if you don't pick up line two.

Kurt, it's Harvey Specter.

How are you?

What can I do for you?

What the hell

do you think you're doing?

I have no idea

what you're talking about.

Bullshit. You're trying

to tank my stock

and make my sale go away.

Kurt, Mike Ross again.

Listen, we have no knowledge

of that, but if we did,

I think we'd just be

taking a page

from the Kurt Baxter playbook.

You really think this is

gonna work on me, huh?

What I think is,

you're a smart man

who knows when to cut his losses

and take the deal

that's on the table.

And what the hell deal

is that?

As I see it,

you got two deals.

Take the supplier deal

Mike and I made for you

and put a small fortune

in your pocket...

Or.

Or you can take

the $200 million that our client

is prepared to offer

for controlling interest

in his company,

and you keep the 30 percent.

You sons of bitches.

That is blackmail, and I'm not

gonna let you get away with it.

And if you want the SEC

to go through your books

to make your case,

you go right ahead,

but this offer

isn't gonna last forever,

so in the meantime, my client's

got financing to arrange.

All right,

Baxter's gonna have

to wait till tomorrow.

I've got plans.

Me too.

What do you have going on?

You're never gonna

believe this.

I've got dinner with

my mother and Paula.

Oh.

How about you?

I have a sit-down with

Rachel and Father Walker.

You wanna trade places?

You do mine, I'll do yours.

Tell you the truth,

I'm looking forward to mine.

You are so not the guy

that I said would never have

a lasting relationship.

You say that

like it's a bad thing.

Kind of is.

Ah, you miss your buddy.

Ha, ha.

Is that what this is?

Shut up.

Go to your stupid dinner.

So I know that they said

we shouldn't look at

each other's answers

until Father Walker's here,

but I'll show you mine

if you show me yours.

Rachel, I didn't fill it out.

What do you mean,

you didn't fill it out?

I read it

and I thought about it

but when

I tried to fill it out--

Mike, you can't take the time

to fill out a form?

It wasn't about the time.

I didn't fill it out because

I can't answer

questions about the future

because...I don't know

what I want.

I'm not a planner.

Well I am,

and when I looked at it,

I realized that I have spent

so much time worrying about

trying to keep

you out of prison

and how to get into the Bar

that I never stopped to wonder

if we want the same thing.

Okay, so what if I say

I want whatever you want?

I'd say if you wanted that,

you would have put it

on the form.

[KNOCKING]

Did I interrupt

something?

Would you like me

to give you a few minutes?

No.

I'd say we're here

for counseling,

it looks like

we could use some.

Let me guess.

You two don't want

exactly the same things

out of life.

Worse than that,

we don't know what we want

because Mike didn't

fill out the form.

And why is that?

Because answering questions

about the future

makes me feel locked in.

But this is what

I don't understand.

You're locked into me.

I love being locked into you.

All I'm saying is,

why can't we just

live our lives for a while

and see what happens?

Good.

What do you mean,

good?

I mean,

there's a reason

we start with

these questionnaires,

and the truth is,

the couples that

I worry about the most

are the ones that have

the same answers

to every single question.

So you're saying we win

because we fight?

No, I'm saying you win

because you're honest

with each other.

[♪♪♪]

And I think we're done

for the night.

But we've barely

done anything.

Rachel, he's letting us

out of school.

Don't ask for homework.

I didn't say there wouldn't

be homework, Michael,

and before next time,

I hope you find some ways

to talk about the future

without feeling

locked into an outcome.

[♪♪♪]

[LAUGHS]

And then, he just

climbed up on the piano

and started singing.

No, no.

Yeah, 6 years old.

Right in the middle

of the dinner party.

My goodness.

What did you do?

The only thing we could do.

Gordon grabbed his sax

and gave him some backup.

[LAUGHS]

You never told me

you could sing.

Because he can't.

Aw.

[BOTH LAUGH]

For the record, that question

was directed at me.

And somehow, I'm confident

it was answered correctly.

Thanks, Mom.

Anyway,

as much as I would love

to keep embarrassing Harvey,

I should get back.

Paula, thank you so much

for letting me intrude

on your evening.

It has been a pleasure.

No, Lily,

the pleasure was all mine.

I can't tell you how happy I am

to have finally met you.

Me too,

especially since I have you

to thank for this evening.

Oh, no, well, tonight

was actually Harvey's idea.

I think what my mom meant was

that you were gracious enough

to let her come to dinner

tonight.

MOM:

No, I meant when you and I

mended our fences,

you said the only reason

you did it

was because someone special

in your life

encouraged you to.

Well it's obvious

that someone was Paula.

[♪♪♪]

I just put my foot

in my mouth somehow, didn't I?

Well it's not your fault,

but I think it just so happens

I am not the special person

that Harvey was talking about.

[♪♪♪]

[SIGHS]

Thought you

could use a snack.

You know me so well.

[CHUCKLES]

Some may say,

better than you know yourself.

Rachel, about tonight...

Bullshit.

What?

I thought you liked

Father Walker.

I'm not saying that

his advice was bullshit.

I'm saying, my parents

have a word they use

when they want to talk about

the future in a safe way.

If they say "bullshit,"

then they both know

that anything

they say afterwards

is...hypothetical,

and they won't be

locked into it.

Your parents have

the same problem we do?

You should've seen

how they used to fight about

where to go on vacation,

let alone what to do

with their money.

Do you want to try it now?

No, I don't,

because I just don't want

to get into

another fight with you.

To tell you the truth,

I kind of love it

when we fight.

Do you?

Not while it's happening,

but Rachel,

we don't fight about things

like who didn't take

the garbage out

or who forgot

to turn the lights off.

We fight about things like

whether or not

I should take a case

to protect prisoners

at the expense of my

relationship with Harvey,

and the only reason we do that

is because you love me

and you care about me,

and yes,

maybe you do know me

better than I know myself.

[♪♪♪]

Wow, maybe we should

try this now.

No, you were right.

Think we've done enough growing

for one night.

[♪♪♪]

Paula,

about what my mom said--

you were right.

I wasn't talking about you

when I told her that, but...

you...are the special woman

in my life now, and--

I know that, Harvey,

but--

But what?

I know you know

that Jacob cheated on me,

but what you don't know is

it happened with a woman

that he worked with.

They worked at clinic together,

and they became close friends.

So that's why Donna

bothers you so much.

I know that I told you that

I could handle you having her

in your life,

but I don't think I can.

But I told you, I--

Please, Harvey.

I hate that I feel this way.

I hate that I feel weak,

and insecure,

and that my last relationship

is affecting this one,

but most of all,

I hate that I am about to say

what I told myself I wouldn't.

What is it?

When I took the time

to process what you told me,

I did a role-play

in therapy,

and when I did,

I told you that I'm afraid

if you keep working with Donna,

we won't survive.

Are you asking me

to fire her?

I don't know what I'm asking,

but it feels like there are

three people

in this relationship,

and the last time it felt

that way, there were.

Paula--

I'm sorry, Harvey.

I just can't do that again.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[LINE RINGING]

MAN [ON PHONE]:

You calling with another

stock tip?

It looks like that last one's

about to make me a fortune.

I'm calling

to tell you to get out.

We're about to make a deal,

and it's gonna turn around.

Message received.

Hey, do me a favor.

Tell Donna

the gunslinger's back.

I don't get it.

She knows what it means,

and not for nothing.

Promoting her

was a brilliant move.

What makes you say that?

Are you kidding me?

She could

talk the stripes off a zebra,

she's loyal,

and she knows

about keeping people happy.

If I were you,

I'd hold on tight.

Thanks, Stu.

Thanks again for the tip,

Harvey.

[♪♪♪]

You ready to do this?

Yeah.

Let's go.

HARVEY:

All right, Baxter, we're here.

You want to sign this thing

with your pen or mine?

You can keep your shitty pen,

just like you can keep

your shitty deal.

If you think you could

call us here

to renegotiate

a price last-minute--

I didn't call

to renegotiate.

I called to see if you'd come

at my command,

and here you are.

All right, listen to me.

No, you listen to me.

Sale's not happening.

You're passing

on Teddy's offer?

I'd sooner wipe my ass

with Teddy's offer.

Bullshit. You turn him down,

you're turning down millions,

and you're not in the business

of losing money.

I'm also not in the business

of letting assholes

get the better of me,

so I'm holding on to my company,

I'm gonna ship jobs overseas,

and I don't give a shit

if I take a bath doing it.

You're really that vindictive?

Nice to meet you.

Name's Kurt Baxter.

But I'm not doing this

out of spite.

I'm doing this because

when word hits the street

that I'm willing to lose

200 mil to stick it to some guys

trying to stick it to me,

the next guy--

We're not trying to stick it

to you, we're

trying to make a deal,

and we put two on the table,

so if you don't want to sell--

I'm not taking door two,

but if you're serious

about coming to terms,

I just might be open

to renegotiating after all.

Son of a bitch.

That's what you really

called us to say, isn't it?

If Teddy Doyle wants my company,

he doesn't match the Chinese.

He beats them by 25 percent,

'cause my rules are,

you come to play,

you come to play hard,

and if you don't like it,

get the hell off my court.

[♪♪♪]

[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]

Hello.

MOM [ON PHONE]:

Oh, I'm glad you

picked up, Harvey.

I wanted to apologize.

Mom, you don't have to do that.

Yes, I do.

We finally made peace,

and I go and do

something like that.

Listen to me.

Paula said it, and I agree,

it's not your fault.

You couldn't have known.

It is my fault.

It's the kind of stupid thing

stupid mothers do.

Mom, don't worry about it.

I'm gonna be fine.

Please tell Paula again

how much I enjoyed

meeting her.

She's a keeper.

I gotta go, Mom.

I love you, Harvey.

I love you, too.

Hey, can I talk to you

for a second?

We need to tell Stu,

and we need to tell Teddy.

I talked to Stu

before we went over there.

He's out.

And Teddy?

Take the day.

Think of anything you can.

If not, I'll tell him tomorrow.

[♪♪♪]

[LINE RINGING]

Hey, I need to meet you.

I need a favor,

and I need it soon.

[♪♪♪]

[KNOCKING]

Hey, Red.

Nice digs.

Stu, what are you

doing here?

I came to thank you

for what you did.

It actually got me thinking,

my office could use

someone like you.

Mm, couldn't everyone?

But as you know,

use of The Donna is limited

to this office alone.

I wasn't talking about

The Donna.

I was talking about Donna.

This is a job offer.

It is,

and I think the numbers on it

will show you that I'm serious.

Stu, I would be lying

if I said this offer

wasn't flattering, but--

Then take it.

I don't live under a rock.

I heard about Andrew Malik

saying you don't deserve

a job like this.

I don't care what he said,

I deserve everything I have.

Then come to me and prove that

to the world.

I don't know anything

about finance.

You didn't know anything

about the legal world

when you started, either,

but I'm not hiring you

to make trades.

I'm hiring you to do

what you do better than anyone,

because, like I told Harvey

to tell you,

the gunslinger's back.

He didn't tell me that.

Well he is, and he needs

someone watching his flank.

[♪♪♪]

I'll think about it.

That's all I can ask.

[♪♪♪]

You better be ready,

Miss Sazs,

'cause I'm ready to--

Louis. What are you doing here?

I came to discuss

the recruits

that we talked about earlier.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know

you had company.

Of course.

Louis, this is my fiancé,

Zander.

Zander, Louis.

Hey.

Zander, is it?

Yeah.

LOUIS:

Like I said, I was excited

about the recruits

we spoke about. I didn't want

any of them get snapped up, s--

but I can see you're busy.

Of course,

we can talk about it

on the phone...tomorrow.

Tomorrow it is.

Sorry to interrupt.

It's nice meeting you.

Likewise.

[♪♪♪]

ZANDER:

That was weird.

Not at all what I imagined.

I mean, with the jacket...

[LAUGHS]

And the glasses

and that bow tie.

I mean, what'd you see in him?

SHEILA: I know.

ZANDER:

What do you say

we get some Chinese?

SHEILA:

Sounds good.

I'm starving.

[♪♪♪]

Donna, whatever it is,

can it wait?

Because I need--

No, it can't wait, Harvey,

because Stu Buzzini

just offered me a job.

He what?

You know what.

You can skip the part

where you pretend

you weren't the one who

asked him to make that offer.

How'd you know?

'Cause he gave me some bullshit

about what Andrew Malik

did to me, and there's no way

he'd know if you

didn't tell him.

Does Stu know you know?

I don't want to answer

questions anymore, Harvey.

I want to know why you did it.

Because Paula said

she doesn't think we'd survive

if you and I

keep working together.

Thought we were over that.

Well she's not.

Then why didn't you

come to me

and explain the situation?

Or even have the balls

just to fire me?

I could never fire you.

Well this doesn't feel

any different, Harvey,

'cause I don't want

to work with Stu.

I want to stay here

in the position

that I fought to get

and that I love

and that I know I deserve.

I know you do too.

Then why didn't you

stand up for me?

Because you put me

in this position.

It was one mistake, Harvey.

One...

in 13 years.

Now I'm gonna lose my job

because of it?

Donna, what do you

want me to say?

I would've wanted you

to tell her

that after everything

we've been through,

making me leave isn't fair.

I would've wanted you

to come to me,

instead of going to Stu

behind my back,

but most of all,

I want you to be there for me,

like I've been there

every single day.

Do you think

I don't hate this?

I do you think I haven't

wracked my brain,

trying to figure

some other way out of it?

Because I have, Donna,

but I don't see one.

Maybe I do.

[♪♪♪]

[KNOCKING]

Come in.

DONNA:

I hope you don't mind.

Harvey told me that you had

a half-hour break at this time.

I do, but--

Please.

Paula, just hear me out.

Okay.

I'm sorry I did what I did.

I made a terrible mistake,

and...I apologized to Harvey,

but I didn't apologize to you.

I'm sorry, Paula.

I'm so sorry.

I appreciate your apology,

Donna,

but if you're asking me

to change my mind--

I'm asking you

not to put me in a position

to leave the job that I love,

a job that feels like

I've worked my whole life

to get.

I'm asking you as a woman

and as a professional,

please don't do that.

I want to say yes to you,

but can you swear to me

that nothing like that

will ever happen again?

[♪♪♪]

That.

That right there is why

I said what I said to Harvey

in the first place.

I'm sorry, Donna.

I wish it weren't so,

but it is.

[♪♪♪]

Can I come in?

Depends.

You only come in person

when it's really good news

or really bad.

So which is it?

Why don't you pour me

a cup of coffee,

and I'll tell you inside?

HARVEY:

I can't fix it, Teddy.

I'm sorry.

Look, if you want,

I'll call your guy

at the factory

and I'll tell him myself.

No, I'll tell him.

It was my word I gave,

not yours.

This isn't your fault.

You can't blame yourself.

[SIGHS]

Those guys had bled for me,

Harvey.

All they did wrong

was be loyal to me.

I know how you feel.

No offense, Harvey,

but I don't think you do.

Teddy, I never told you this,

but a few years ago,

there was a case

against the firm.

Donna did something

to protect me,

and...it looked like

it might be illegal,

and Jessica had to

fire her for it.

Well it turned out,

it wasn't illegal,

and we got the whole thing

straightened out, but...

while she was gone...

[♪♪♪]

So maybe you do know

how it feels.

But you were able

to make it right.

First chance you got,

you made Donna COO,

a real partner.

I-- that means something.

Wait, what did you just say?

I said it means something.

No, you said

I made her a partner.

So?

So, I think we may

have a way to fix this thing.

[♪♪♪]

Hey, how'd it go?

Do you think we could

still get that deal

from Teddy's suppliers?

Yeah, but why would

we want to do that?

We'd only be

helping out Baxter.

No, we'd be

helping out Teddy.

What did you do?

I convinced him

to buy his company back

based on your suggestion

in the first place.

I thought you said

he didn't have enough capital.

He didn't, but when you

offer equity partnership

to your employees, it's amazing

how much you raise.

The pension fund.

The pension fund.

And if we get the deal

with the suppliers,

that makes the company worth

the markup that Baxter wants.

Exactly.

I'll get on it.

[CHUCKLES]

What?

Nothing.

It's just-- it's nice

to be on the right side

of a corporate case

for a change.

Sure is, Mike.

Sure is.

[♪♪♪]

San Diego.

What?

Bullshit.

I want to live in San Diego.

[LAUGHS]

By the beach,

or in the mountains?

See, this is the problem.

I don't know,

and I don't want

to get locked in.

Mike, bullshit can't

get you out of

locking yourself in.

Then I don't want to play.

Yes, you do.

All right.

We live in San Diego.

Mm-hm.

I'll get a job

running a clinic,

like Oliver and Nathan.

We surf every morning,

work two hours a day,

and love each other

all night.

Well you catch on quickly.

Your turn.

Iceland.

Why would you want

to live in Iceland?

Did I do that to you?

Yes, you did.

You asked me about

the beach and the mountains.

No, those were

all positive things.

And I'm positive I don't want

to live in Iceland.

Okay, what if

I told you that...

I've been there before,

it is one of

the most beautiful places

in the world,

and living there together

for a year would be

the adventure of a lifetime?

God, you're good.

Oh, you have no idea.

Yeah, Rachel, I do.

[♪♪♪]

DONNA:

"Dear Harvey,

"effective immediately,

"I, Donna Paulsen,

hereby resign from the firm."

[♪♪♪]

"Make no mistake,

I wish I could stay,

"but I know that I can't.

"Therefore, I thank you

for giving me the chance

"to be your

"I hope I proved myself

worthy of the title.

"Unfortunately, I didn't

"I put myself first.

"Therefore, it's time

working with you,

"and everyone at the firm,

"Good-bye, Harvey.
