Previously on "Suits LA"...

I testify, I'm a dead man.

- I thought we were friends.
- We are friends, Billy.

Now, get back inside
before someone-

[explosion]

- What happened?
Are you all right?

I'm fine, Samantha.

And I'm still coming to
your client's thing tonight.

- I don't care
about that right now.

I think you do.

Billy didn't make it.

- I need you to get
in there and act

- like he's still fighting.
- You have one day.

- You better think
of a Hall of Fame move.

I am not losing this case.

- They're saying a lot
of very specific things

happened last night.

- What, that I killed
my partner in my own backyard?

Why would I do that?

- There's residue
on your hands.

Because we were shooting.

- Stuart lives for this.
He is the man for the job.

- I cannot go with someone
who doesn't believe me.

- The entire
25th floor is gone.

- You should back
out of the fight

for head of entertainment.

It gives us the best shot
at working together

after I get it.

- You pick a side before
you know who's going to win.

Until you figure that out,
you're nothing.

- Samantha, was it your idea
to cut me out of the new firm,

- or was it Stuart's?
- His.

- Lester,
he doesn't believe you.

- I do.
- My client pleads not guilty.

- You're both gonna
regret this.

- Lester won't, 'cause
I have never lost a case,

and I'm sure as hell
not gonna start now.

[upbeat music]

Just the woman I wanted to see.

- Oh, I was going to say
the same thing.

- To who?
- Your mom.

My mom passed away years ago.

- Way to suck the fun
out of the morning.

You here to tell me
I have a tumor?

- I wanted to talk
about Dylan Pryor.

- Give it to me.
- She's got two movies.

One's an indie, the other is
a potential action franchise.

I'm sure you can guess
what the priority is.

Of course.

Of course, I can.

- Erica?
- Yes?

- You have no idea
who Dylan Pryor is, do you?

You have no proof of that.

I could know.

Erica, who's Dylan Pryor?

I'll tell you who.

She is your client,
who we signed last week,

who you need me
to take care of, which I will.

That'll be all.

Are you dismissing me?

Can I?

Eh...remains to be seen.

Get out.

Did it work?

No. Okay.

Fun and games aside,
Stuart taking half the firm

is still the talk of the town.

Dylan Pryor is a new client.

You are the new head
of entertainment.

- Ted, I understand
what the stakes are,

and I know that you're focusing
on Lester's murder trial.

Whatever Dylan Pryor needs,
I'll get it done.

[bright music]

- Hi.
- Hey.

- What are you doing
on our floor?

It's lonely up there.

I'm the only one left
on the whole floor.

- Well, do you wanna come
down here?

You've got Stuart's office.

- Why would I do that?
I've got the floor to myself.

- Mm-hmm.

Hey, since you're down here,

what do you know about Hanrahan
in the DA's office?

Why?

Is Hanrahan prosecuting
your shady producer murderer?

- Those aren't the exact words
that I would use to describe

Lester, but you're-yeah.
Go on.

- Well, let me just say,
if I knew old man Hanrahan

would be
the one prosecuting me,

I'd rob a bank.
Client got lucky.

- I get the feeling you're
not the biggest fan of Lester.

I'm not a fan of people

buying their way out
of trouble.

- He's not buying me.
He's paying me.

And his only trouble
is being accused

of a murder he didn't commit.

Now, if you don't mind,
I'm gonna go interview

my shady producer murderer

and check in
on old man Hanrahan.

- Between us,
I don't think you should

be referring to your client
as a shady producer murderer.

It's counterproductive.

? ?

Are you kidding me?

Who drops a Good & Plenty
into the paper feeder?

Leah?

[printer parts clattering]

- Are you okay?
- [scoffs]

Why?
What happened?

Um, how can I help you?

- You like movies
and television, right?

Of course.

What kind of entertainment
lawyer wouldn't love-

you know, I'm more
of a book girl myself.

Why do you ask?

- What do you know
about Dylan Pryor?

Is this a trick question?

I've seen every movie
she's ever done.

There's nothing
I don't know about her.

- Great, then grab her file,
and come with me.

And don't eat that.

Of course, I won't.

[playful music]

? ?

Mm.
She was right.

- So you and Simon went
to your movie's premiere,

- everyone had a good time?
- Yeah, had a great time.

And you know, went back
to the house, did ecstasy.

- How many pills?
- We each took one.

It wasn't working fast enough,

but we didn't think
it was working at all,

so we split a third pill.

- Then the guns came out?
- Yep.

Simon took the Luger.
I took the Glock.

We set up the target.

- A picture of the head
of the studio.

- Hey, you know the man.
He's a bastard.

- Not in dispute.
- We start shooting.

That's when Simon starts
getting a little weird.

- Weird?
Weird how?

- He starts saying
he's a fraud.

No one really knows him.

I start to realize I'm-

I'm watching a man battle with
himself for his own sanity.

He starts getting
darker and darker,

saying he doesn't deserve
to be here.

That's what he said.
"I don't deserve to be here."

That's when it happened.

He raises a gun to his head.

I try to stop him,
but he snaps at me.

He is-he is fully crazy
at this point.

And I grab his arm, but-
I mean, Simon's, like,

a thousand times stronger
than me,

and the gun is now aimed
right at his head,

and I'm screaming at him,
"Please.

"Please, Simon.
Don't do it.

Don't do it, Simon."

And next thing I know, bang.

Simon is dead,

and I've got his blood
all over me,

and I don't know what to do.

Finally, I call 911.

I get there, and they
arrest me then and there.

My best friend of 20 years
is lying on the ground,

and they arrest me.

Okay, Lester.

Okay.

We got what we needed.

We've got a meeting
with the prosecutor later.

I'll give you a call
afterwards.

I'll let you know how it goes.

All right.

both:
All right.

[pensive music]

? ?

What's on your mind?

- Something's not right
about your boy.

I mean, he tells a good story,

but I know a liar
when I see one.

- Kevin,
it's different out here.

People lie.
They cheat.

They do whatever they can
to push their project through.

Would I trust Lester
with my girlfriend?

I would, but, you know,
look at me, and look at him.

I don't have anything
to worry about.

- If I'm her,
I'm going with him.

You're delusional.

- One word.
Jamie.

- Jamie was a one-time thing.

Kevin, seriously,
Lester's a lot of things.

He's not a murderer.

? ?

- Well, you didn't bring my ass
out here to believe him.

You brought me here to find out
anything they can use

against us, so I'ma do that.

But, Ted,
you better start wrapping

your mind around the fact
that he may have done this.

? ?

- ? 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,
it's so early ?

? Busy, busy making money ?

? All right ?

? Y'all step back ?

? I'm about to dance ?

? The greenback boogie ?

.

[phone buzzes]

- Dylan. Hey.
Good to hear from you.

- Who's Erica Rollins,
and why is she calling me?

- She is the new head
of entertainment

and an excellent attorney.

- An excellent attorney
that I have never even met.

- Look, Dylan-

- Rick, I knew Ted
was gonna pawn me off.

I just thought that
it was going to be you.

- It was going to be me,
but I left for another firm.

But trust me, Erica is fully
capable of taking care of you.

- Rick, look, I signed on
to do an indie movie

that my friend wrote,
but the schedule conflicts

with my Warner Brothers movie,

and I'm not letting
an indie movie

get in the way of my career.

- I get that,
but I can't represent you.

I am prohibited from poaching.

Then can't you convince Ted

to handle this for me
instead of Erica?

- I wish I could,
but to tell you the truth,

I don't think Ted would
take my call right now.

[solemn music]

Right on time.

I like that.

You're not old man Hanrahan.

- You think they'd send
a high-profile case

like this to Hanrahan?

He's who they send when
they don't care what happens.

I'm who they send when they do.

- I'm who they send
when they have no chance,

but they need a win anyway.

- Lester Thompson
needs a win, all right.

But this plea deal is
the closest he's gonna get.

- That's where
we're gonna start?

- Why not?
It's where we're gonna finish.

Then maybe you didn't hear,

but Lester pled not guilty
at his arraignment.

- Well, he should have
pled insanity

because I heard he dropped
one of the premier

defense attorneys in the nation
to put his life

in the hands of
a glorified black shirt,

no tie talent agent.

- You forgot former
federal prosecutor.

And I never did work
at the local level,

but unless whatever that is

says you're dropping
the charges,

I'll see you in court.

Okay, but you should know

I'm not three hours
into this thing,

and I've got the victim's blood
all over your client,

the coroner's report
inconsistent with suicide

and a line around
the block of people

begging to testify
that Lester Thompson's

love language is lying.

So you might wanna
run this bad boy

by your client just in case.

? ?

- Ted, you really
didn't have to come.

- Samantha, it's your
client's big night.

I told you I wouldn't miss it,
and I won't.

- I promise when this is over,
I'll make you feel better.

Come on.
He's about to go on.

- Please welcome to the stage,
Cameron Logsdon

as Mark Wahlberg,
Christopher Walken,

and Denzel Washington.

- Hey, New York.
How you doing, huh?

Feeling good?

A lot of beautiful ladies
in here, right?

Huh? You know what they say
about beautiful ladies?

They like tough guys.
I mean, come on.

Look at this guy right here.

Looking good, brother. Huh?

Got into a bit of a scuffle?
That's all right.

You know what?
Just hit the gym.

Put up a little bit of weight.

Doesn't matter
what happened to you.

[laughter]

[as Christopher Walken]
Hey, you know, you don't get

beat up if you bring a gun.

[normally]
You know what?

I don't think
he got beat up, huh?

I think he had a run-in
with Plymouth Rock,

only he didn't land
on Plymouth Rock.

Plymouth Rock landed on him.
Huh?

[as Arnold Schwarzenegger]
You know, the next time

they swing on you,
you just need to duck...

? ?

[knock at door]

- You wanted to see me?
- Yes.

Please close the door.

We have something
to talk about.

HR sent this over.

- Rick's being made
head of entertainment.

What about it?

- Our agreement was,
you keep someone at Ted's

for six months,
and they keep an eye on him.

Then whoever it comes over
and gets this title.

- We had an opportunity
to weaken Ted out of the gate,

- and I took it.
- A call you made on your own.

I'm not signing off on this

without getting something
for it.

- I thought we were
gonna be partners.

- Stuart, you came to me
a week before we merged,

wanting to cut Ted out.

It was against
my better judgment,

but I went along with it.

Now you,
a criminal defense attorney,

are trying to dictate who I
name head of entertainment.

So who's not being
a good partner now?

- I'm gonna have
to double down here.

Bob the janitor is now
in charge of real estate.

- I appreciate you
accepting this.

Now, do you want to tell Rick,
or should I?

[upbeat music]

- Just to be clear, we're
entitled to Dylan's services

for six months, and we intend
to enforce those rights.

- We're all aware of that,
but it's a small role,

and Dylan's new Warner Brothers
deal can't kick in

until after she's released.

How is that my problem?

- Fred, I know you're
concerned about our rights,

but Dylan is my friend.

- And I'm the one
who's putting up

the money for this movie.

- I can have her out
in three months.

Give us another month
for safety,

and you can have
two months back.

- Fine.
- Excellent.

I'll draw up an amendment
and get it right to you.

- I just have to say,
I'm a huge fan,

and what you did
for Dylan was huge.

- Of course,
I would do it for her.

She's my friend.

- Anyway, I'm really excited
to see this movie.

You plus Dylan?

Fire.
[blows air]

both:
You do that too?

What?

I'm older, so I started it.

Okay, well, I better go.

Erica doesn't like it
when I'm...

anything.

- I got that.
It's okay.

You're doing great.

- Oh, my God.
Thank you.

It's a beautiful view.

- Well, I am head
of entertainment.

It's still a beautiful view.

- That better not mean
what it sounds like.

- Rick, the deal
was six months.

Entertainment is Samantha's
purview, not mine.

- And I made a deal
with you, not her.

- I don't like this
any more than you.

It doesn't make
either of us look good.

But I have a way that you
can still get that title.

Bring in a big client,
and the job is yours.

- Oh, that's a great idea,
Stuart.

But the only way I can do that
is with someone

I already have
a relationship with,

which means poaching from Ted,

and we are precluded
from doing this.

Do it anyway.

They're not gonna sue us
over one client.

I don't work that way.

- If the shoe were on the
other foot, Ted would poach,

- and you know it.
- I don't care.

I'm not Ted.

- I've got
my issues with the way

Ted operates more than anyone,

but if you want that promotion,
this is the way to get it.

[solemn music]

? ?

- You still think
he's just a flawed liar?

Hi, Kevin.

It's bank records.
It's nothing.

Are you kidding me?

Do you know what I had to do
to get these?

Look, the man was stealing
from his partner.

These are transactions.

There's a thousand
explanations.

It doesn't prove anything.

I'm not talking about proof.

We're talking about the truth,

something you used
to want to know.

- You think that I don't
want to know the truth?

- I don't know what you want,
but the Ted I used to run with

would know this is evidence.

And you know damn well,
if you were prosecuting this,

you'd be jumping for joy
to get your hands on it.

- I'm not prosecuting him.
- Well, someone is.

If she finds this, her opening
statement's gonna be,

"If Lester's
stealing money from Simon,

he'd damn sure kill him
if he found out."

God damn it.

Why are you trying to
convince me that he's guilty?

- I don't care
if he's guilty or not.

I'm following the trail so you
don't get blindsided at trial.

The question is,
why the hell are you trying

to convince yourself
he's innocent?

? ?

.

- This is not
what we discussed.

No, on what basis are you-

Okay.

Fine. Yeah.

I understand your position.

Leah, what did you do?

- About what?
- The Dylan Pryor agreement.

- I sent over the amendment
like you asked.

- Well, they're not
letting Dylan out.

Why would they
suddenly do that?

- All I did was specify
the end date of the indie

and the start date
of the Warner movie

so that they couldn't
wiggle out, like you said.

- I told you to put the date
of the Warner overall deal.

You told them she already
had an actual role.

- They already knew it.
It's public knowledge.

- The deal was
public knowledge.

That she had
a specific movie was not.

- I'm sorry.
I was just being thorough.

Never give the other side

more information
than they need.

You might as well have said
if Warner Brothers wants

to start their movie on time,
they either recast Dylan

or pay that clown
a small fortune.

- I get it,
but this is Dylan's friend.

- She agreed to be accommodating.
- Okay.

For future reference,
the writer is never

the one calling the shots.
The guy with the money is.

- Erica. Leah.
Trouble in paradise?

- Leah.
- I'm not here. Never was.

Hi, Rick.
We hate you.

- What are you
doing here, Rick?

Because I'm a little busy,
and you're a little

don't work here anymore.

- You know who wishes
I still worked here?

- Dylan Pryor.
- Excuse me?

She called me earlier.

Wanted to see if I could handle

the movie conflict
instead of you.

I told her I was prohibited
from signing her.

Which you are.

- And that you're
an excellent attorney.

Which I am.

- But then
she wanted me to get Ted

to handle it instead of you,
and I thought,

"Why get her Ted
when I can just give her me?"

So if you wouldn't mind
signing this simple waiver

allowing me
to represent Dylan...

- You think I'm gonna
give you the right

to poach my client
like I was born yesterday?

- I think I can fix
her problem, and you can't.

- Well, we're never gonna
find out

'cause I'm not getting drawn
into a contest with you

that I've already won.

- I thought I was talking
to the Erica Rollins

who always said
she's better than me.

I didn't realize I was talking
to the one who's afraid of me.

- You think saying
I'm afraid of you

is gonna get you what you want?

You know what I think?

You've been dying to go one
on one with me for a long time.

So let's get it on.

Give me the damn thing.

[upbeat music]

But, Ricky, when you lose,

I don't want you coming
back here crying

about how I kicked your ass.

[upbeat music]

It wasn't Hanrahan.

Who was it, Abrams or Brown?

Smith.

- Smith is no joke.
- Meaning?

- Let's just say
there's nothing

that woman won't do to win.

Listen, we both know
I overheard you downstairs.

Why is this case
so important to you?

- The people that we represent
aren't used to being told no.

And every so often,
they need a criminal attorney

to bail them out.

If I can't show the town
that my firm can still do that,

every client that I have
will eventually leave

and find someone who can.

- And that's why you need
Lester to be innocent.

You need a win.

And the idea of getting
a guilty man off

turns your stomach.

It's not just that.

Every instinct that I have
tells me that

Lester Thompson
is not a murderer.

And if I can't trust
my instincts-

- That's never
happened to you before.

It happened before.

When it did...

I lost everything.

- Ted, you've been moody
since he picked on you.

Admit it.
You're sensitive.

I'm not.

I'm not sensitive.

I just-I don't
like impersonators.

- I think you don't like him
because you think

he wants to sleep with me.

Samantha, if that were true,

I wouldn't like
any of your clients.

- You don't like
any of my clients.

- Didn't you say that
you were gonna make me

feel better after the show?

I did, in fact, say that.

When does that part start?

- Why don't you tell me
where it hurts?

- I mean, it hurts me
here all the way.

All the way down to there.

- How about I start
in the middle?

- No, I think it would be
a good idea

if you started it
in the middle.

[laughs]

Wait.

I can't believe
I'm gonna say this.

- I gotta go.
- What?

But we just got back.

- I know.
It can't wait.

- Teddy,
where the hell are you?

- I went to Samantha's
client's thing.

- Our back's against the wall,
and you're at a show?

- I thought that
we were dead in the water

and that I had nothing.

- All right, look, I'm pulling
the agents off right now.

Don't do that.

You told me that I needed
a Hall of Fame move.

I got one.

I want you to keep
the agents there

and gather up all the tapes
we have of Billy's confessions.

And one more thing.

Who would have planted
the bomb at Billy's?

I don't need proof.
I just need to know.

- It's gotta be
Jimmy Patriale.

- Okay. Gather those tapes.
I'll see you in the morning.

- Whoa, Teddy,
what are you gonna do?

Get us another witness.

[suspenseful music]

- Mr. Dodson,
I don't have much time, so-

You sure don't.

You managed to threaten
Dylan Pryor's career

and hold Warner Brothers
hostage all in one day.

- I thought Erica Rollins
was handling Dylan.

- She thinks she is,
but I'm here to tell you

you're gonna release Dylan
after four months.

- Why would I do that
when I need her for six?

- Because you made
a promise to Dylan.

And I'm not afraid to sue you
to enforce that promise.

You'll lose that lawsuit.

- Maybe I will,
but the headline will read

you deal in bad faith.

How many movies are you
gonna get made after that?

- You're accusing me
of dealing in bad faith?

- You are the definition
of bad faith.

There is no justification
to hold Dylan for six months

to shoot five scenes.

Oh, you haven't heard.

Since you brought me
something to read,

I have something for you.

You see, we had Tina do
a final pass on the script,

and it ended up pushing Dylan's
scene count from 5 to 40.

Makes it a much better movie,
if you ask me.

But, you know,
I'm just a money guy.

[dramatic music]

? ?

- Erica, can I talk to you?
- What is it, Leah?

I'm thinking something through.

- Rick just sent over
a new script for Dylan's film.

- I know.
He sent it to me too.

It's very aboveboard of him.

Dylan's scene count
skyrocketed,

and now we're screwed.

- Well, did you read
the script?

Because I think there's a way
we can work with Fred

and everyone can get
what they want.

- What Fred wants us
to hold Dylan hostage

so Warner Brothers
pays him to let her go,

which they'll never do.

So what are we gonna do?

We're not gonna do anything.

You're gonna set me
a dinner with Fred,

pick a nice place
with a lot of people,

and tell them I have an offer
from Warner Brothers.

- But you just said
they won't pay.

They won't.

Sometimes you gotta say

whatever it takes
to get 'em in a room.

.

- So she says,
I'm gonna meet you at the bar,

- and I'll wait for you there.
- FBI!

FBI!
Don't move!

- Jimmy Patriale,
you're under arrest

for the murder
of Billy Esposito.

[suspenseful music]

I got you now, Pellegrini.

You're going down.

[dramatic music]

- Call Sapperstein.
Get him down there.

? ?

- Jimmy, we know you
set the bomb off.

We got three witnesses.
They all put you there.

I was in the neighborhood.

A bomb went off, so I left.
End of story.

- Say we don't get you
on the bomb.

We're gonna get you
on the bomb.

Say that we don't.

Billy Esposito says that you're
Pellegrini's go-to hit man.

He has direct knowledge
of you killing five guys.

That's life.

- Anything you had went away
when Billy went away.

You can't use it.
Ain't that right?

- 100%.
- One problem.

Billy is right over there.

- No way.
I saw that explosion.

Billy's dead.

Is that a fact?

[tense music]

? ?

- Jimmy Patriale, that scumbag.
Let me in there.

- I'll show him how dead I am.
- Relax, Billy.

We're not gonna let you
kill a witness.

Besides,
you're busted up head to toe.

- Let me in there
for ten minutes.

We'll see who comes out.

- Just tell us what hits
you did together,

and he'll get
what's coming to him.

- All right, the first hit
I remember was August '98.

It was hot as hell.
He comes down in a sweatshirt.

I tell him he might
as well have a sign,

I got a gun under here.

Here's the deal, Jimmy.

I arrested you right
in front of Pellegrini.

He's gonna think
that you talked.

Whether you do
or whether you don't

makes you a dead man.

Or I put you in
federal protective custody.

- Jimmy,
don't say another word.

I can get you out of here.

- What happens
when you get out of here?

Because do not think
for one second

that he is here for you.

Get the hell out of here.

- Jimmy, think about what you-
- Now.

[soft dramatic music]

? ?

What do you need me to do?

? ?

- Can I come in,
or you still hate me?

Can it be both?

- Sorry for coming
at you so hard.

- I'm sorry for
putting up a wall.

- You were kind of
being an ass.

I had to do something.

You were coming at me
like a bull.

- Didn't I just apologize
for that?

- I don't know,
I wasn't listening.

Kevin, I didn't wanna hear
what you had to say

because I was afraid
you might be right.

- Well,
since we're coming clean,

I wasn't exactly truthful
when I said I was okay

keeping a guilty man
out of prison.

- Because you were built
to put them away.

Yeah, I was.

Tell you what.

Comes right down to it,
and you are sure

that he did it,
I will let you walk away.

- What about you?
You're gonna walk away?

- I'll drive off that bridge
when I get to it.

For now, it's time
for Lester to tell us

what the hell is going on
with these bank records.

- ? Headed by the winds
in this desolate place ?

? I'm driving
against the ice ?

? That whips across my face ?

Sorry I'm late.

Had a call to make.

- So I heard you convinced
Warner Brothers

to make accommodations
simply by throwing

a little money at the problem.

- Oh, I convinced them
to throw money at the problem,

all right, just not
in your direction.

[chuckles]

You said you had
an offer for me.

- I do-find a new star
for your movie

because Dylan is out.

- No, she's not.
We have an agreement.

- Oh.
Now you care about agreements.

- Look, if you're about to say
that I'm dealing in bad faith,

Rick Dodson already tried that.

- Let me tell you something,
friend.

I ain't no Rick Dodson.

Dylan's original deal prohibits
her from making another movie

while under contract to you,

but there's nothing
stopping her

from performing promotions

for the new
Warner Brothers franchise.

- They can't make her
promote a movie

she's not even gonna be in.

- Here's
a preliminary schedule.

As you can see, the dates
mildly overlap with yours.

This is our entire shoot.

- Really?
Let me see.

No. No.
See, here's a day.

And then here's
another two days,

and then, of course,
if you want her

to work on Thanksgiving, we can
make her available for that,

although her mother's
pumpkin pie is fantastic.

- You're not gonna
get away with this.

We'll sue you.

- Do what you gotta do, Fred,
but that phone call

was Warner Brothers confirming
that they'll back up

the money truck to
litigate you into the ground.

- ? Won't you help me
make a change? ?

- Ten years?
Are you kidding me?

- You're lucky the DA
is willing to offer you this

because your story
doesn't add up.

- I didn't murder Simon,
and I'm not taking any deal

that puts me in prison.

Lester, I'm looking at a man

whose bank records show
that he was stealing money

from his own partner.

- All right, th-
this isn't what it looks like.

- No, it looks like
after you stole his money,

he wound up dead
in your backyard

from a gun that you own.

- I explained that
to you already.

- That's not good enough.
- What do you want me to say?

- How about the truth,
you lying sack of-

hey, don't look at him.
You're a cold-blooded murderer.

And you've been giving us
the runaround, and I'm sick-

All right, I stole the money!

All right, look,
a few months ago, I found out

Simon had funneled
half a million dollars

out of the production
into his personal account,

so I started taking the money
out of his account

and putting it into mine.

Lester...

why are you
just telling us this?

- Because I knew
you would react

exactly the way you are
right now.

- I'm not buying any of this.
- Neither will a jury.

- What about the fact that
I started paying it back?

- There's no record of that.
- There is.

Every time I submitted the
movie's expenses to the studio,

I kept some receipts
out of the stack.

- So the studio got paid back
by reimbursing you

less money than what they owed?

- I was trying to do
the right thing.

- I guess Robin Hood
is the good guy.

- Robin Hood
didn't kill Little John.

[tense music]

- Lester, if there
is anything else

that you would like to tell us,

now would be the time.

- Simon didn't start losing it
that night out of nowhere.

I told him I was on to him,

and he thought that if I could
find out, the studio would,

and it was only
a matter of time

before he ended up in prison.

So that's when
he lost his mind.

But I swear to you,
I did not murder him.

[soft tense music]

- You good?
- Not yet.

But it's a start.

? ?

.

Dylan. Hey.

Look, I know we've had
a minor setback, but I-

Rick, it's okay.

I just came by to tell you
in-person that-

- You're staying with Erica,
aren't you?

I am.

She put Fred in his place
and got me out of the indie.

Look, I just wanted to say
that I would have

really liked working together.

My first meeting with you
wasn't like my first meeting

with any other lawyer.

You-you really cared
about what matters to me.

- Well, you're not
so bad yourself.

Not a lot of actresses
would come here

to tell me that in person.

Well, I was just at Erica's,

and you're both
in Century City,

so it was, like,
a two-minute walk.

You probably didn't
need to hear that.

See, this is why I'm better
when other people

write my dialogue.

[both chuckle]

- It was good.
You're a good writer.

It's like a romantic comedy
with a tragic ending.

- Okay, well-
- Yeah.

Actually, Dylan, before you go,

did you take a look
at that rewrite?

Because I might have an idea.

[soft dramatic pop music]

? ?

- Did you use my client
to trick one of your suspects?

? ?

- Samantha, he wanted to do it.
- Of course, he did.

He doesn't know what
he's getting himself into.

You do?

- I know you were
in an explosion the other day,

and you won't tell me
what happened.

- You know what?
I did what I had to do,

and I'm not
gonna apologize for it.

Well, there's a shocker.

You know what your problem is?

You think just because
you put bad guys away,

you can take advantage in every
other aspect of your life.

- I agree with everything
that you just said,

except for the part
where that's a problem.

- Don't use one of
my clients again.

- Okay.
You know what the truth is?

That I do think
all those things.

I also think that
you went to law school,

and instead of using it,
you're a glorified salesman.

- You think
you're not a salesman?

You sell people all day long.

- Yeah, I do it to put
the bad guys behind bars.

- You know, you're really
not that different

from your father after all.

- That's-that's not fair.

- He uses people
for personal gain.

You use them
for the greater good,

but you still use them.

There has to be somebody
you don't use, Ted.

I don't use you.

- You did today.
And you know what?

I'm proud of being
an entertainment lawyer.

I make people's
dreams come true,

and if you don't respect it,
you can kiss my perfect ass.

I was wrong.

I will not do it again.

I'm sorry.

You bet you're sorry.

What would I do without you?

You'd be lost.

Don't you ever forget it.

? ?

? Let you down ?

? Working for you ?

Hey.

Looks like Lester's records
check out.

He put most of the money back.

I'm not saying it's proof,
but it's not nothing.

- Kevin, if this prosecutor
finds out

that he was stealing money,
she is not going to care

if he put some of it back
or not.

- So what you're saying, um,
you wanna cover it up?

- No.
- Then what?

- We'll drive off that bridge
when we get there.

- You sure got us driving off
a lot of bridges.

Yeah, just like the old days.

I remember this guy.

Great ballplayer.

What's his name?
Harry-something like that.

- Harvey.
You know that.

- I know I never liked him.
- Why not?

- Because he's the only person
I knew cockier than you.

- That's funny.
That's exactly why I liked him.

- Yeah, plus,
he was too pretty.

Can't trust them pretty ones.

- Are you saying
I'm not pretty?

If you gotta ask...

- Can't argue with you there.
- I don't see why not.

You've been arguing with me

about every other
damn thing today.

- Don't say it.
- No, I haven't.

[chuckles]

[bright music]

? ?

- Uh-uh.

The deal was,
you don't come back crying.

That was the deal if I lost.

This is my firm's
new agreement with Dylan.

- I don't understand.
I got her what she wanted.

- No, Erica, you got her
what she thought she wanted.

Movies like this rewrite,
that's where Dylan came from,

and I knew that
because I listened to her.

So after you took Fred
to the woodshed,

I convinced Dylan
to let me go back to him

and make it
so she could do both.

- So you came here
to rub my nose in it?

You know I wouldn't do that.

Erica, the reason we stopped
doing what we used to do

is because you never respected
the way I work.

Caring about my clients
does not make me

less of a killer than you.

It might even make me
more of one.

Maybe you're right.

But, Rick, you have no idea
why we stopped

doing what we used to do.

What?

- I can't tell if you're
lying to me or yourself.

[solemn music]

? ?

Stuart, you were right.

I'm right about everything.

Can you be more specific?

- I guess you are willing
to poach.

- No, I said
I didn't work that way,

and I don't.
Erica signed a waiver.

- You gave her an excuse
to go head-to-head, didn't you?

- How did you know that?
- Are you kidding?

I worked on the same floor
as you two for years.

Eventually, you were gonna do
one of two things.

They both begin with F.
I put my money on fight.

- Nothing gets past you,
Stuart.

What was the other one?

- Philander.
- Huh.

- Technically, it's a P-H,
but it still has the F sound.

[upbeat music]

Hey, if I wasn't right
about the poaching,

what was I right about?

- If I can't deliver
a big client,

I don't deserve that promotion.

- That's not what I said.
- I know.

That's what you meant.

? ?

What you doing up here?

- Since everyone left,
I like to come up here

when I wanna be alone.

- So I hear we no longer
represent Dylan Pryor.

Care to explain that one?

- Rick beat me straight up
after I let him bait me

into a fight
I didn't need to have.

- Erica, losing Dylan hurts us,
especially right now,

and I'm not gonna sit here
and pretend

like I'm not pissed.

Is there a but in there,

or are you just gonna
leave it at that?

- Have you seen the picture
of me and Denzel in my office?

- The one at the Lakers game?
Everyone's seen it, Ted.

Isn't that the point?

I was born a Knicks fan.

And I-I never thought that

anything would change that.

Kobe Bryant changed that.

Sometimes he won.
Sometimes he lost.

When the kid was a rookie,

he shot four air balls
in a row.

- But he never backed down
from a fight.

- You got baited
into signing a waiver

because you are a competitor,

and I would rather you get
baited into a fight

than back down from one.

In fact, I wouldn't
have it any other way.

- Are you saying
I'm Black Mamba 2.0?

Easy does it.

Erica, you have to learn
from your mistakes.

And what we learned today
is that we will...

- Never underestimate
Rick Dodson again.

Hey, how did you hear
about Dylan so fast, anyway?

I saw Rick, and I asked Leah

what he was doing
in the office.

Hey, by the way, we gotta keep
Leah away from me, okay?

- She's very-
- I know.

I'm working on it.

She's not that bad
once you get to know her.

Yeah, I'll never know.

? ?

.

Erica, I'm so sorry.

Did you need the room?
I was just leaving.

- Why did you ask if I read
the Dylan script earlier?

Because it was great,

and I messed up earlier,

and I was looking
for a way to fix it,

and the rewrite
was the kind of movie

that put Dylan on the map
in the first place,

so I thought we could get
everyone what they wanted.

- Like you said before.
- It was naive.

I won't suggest something
like that again.

- Maybe it was naive,
but if I'd listened to you,

then we'd still have Dylan
as a client.

Is this real?

Are you complimenting me?

I feel like hugging you.

It's getting stronger.

Oh. Leah, don't.

- Oh, my God.
- Please don't.

- It's happening.
It happened.

OK, that wasn't that bad.

- All right, well, I'm gonna
leave while I'm ahead.

- How did you know
that the script was good?

- What do you mean?
I read it.

- Um, I'm gonna
tell you something,

and I don't need it
leaving this room.

- You can't tell if a script
is good or bad

because you're not a fan
of movies or TV.

Then why become
an entertainment lawyer?

'Cause if you wanna be

part of the action
in this town,

this is the business
you need to be in.

- The way I can tell something
is good is probably because

I always wanted
to write movies.

- Oh.
Well, then why-

- Because when you're
a first-generation

Korean American,
you become a lawyer

or a doctor, not a writer.

- I'll tell you what,
I'll teach you to do what I do,

and you teach me
about movies and TV.

How would you say deal?

I'd just say deal.

- Well, we gotta jazz that up.
It's kind of-

On your own time.

Oh, yeah.

Deal.

It's a deal.
Deal.

Dealio.
Yeah, that's the one.

- Am I interrupting?
- No.

- Did you happen to see
we have a new client?

- A new star client
signed by Rick Dodson.

You want me to give him
the title now, don't you?

- The man did earn it.
- He did.

You wanna give him
the good news, or should I?

Why don't you do it?

- You mind if I ask
why so generous?

Two reasons.

One, like you said,
entertainment is what you do.

- And two?
- You were right.

Cutting Ted out
was a huge thing.

I dropped it on you
at the last minute,

and I never expressed
how much I appreciate

you taking my side,
given your history.

Hey, you want a drink?

- It's why I got into law-
drinks at work.

It's funny.

Here you are fighting for Rick
when, at the time,

you wanted it to be
Erica Rollins that came over,

not him.

- What can I say?
He killed it with Dylan Pryor.

Did you tell him that?

- He's getting
head of entertainment.

I'm not gonna glaze him
on top of it.

What the hell is glazing?

- It's an expression
from my son.

Basically, every time
I give someone a compliment,

he uses it to make me
feel bad about myself.

To be honest, I'm not even sure
I'm using it right.

[playful music]

Probably not.

? ?

- I have to say, you have
done well for yourself

in the private sector.

- You looking
to make a change?

We could use
some bodies around here.

Pass.

- Then let me give you
what you came here for.

I took that sorry plea offer
to my client.

- Pass.
- Good.

That deal's
off the table anyway.

- You came all the way here
to tell me that?

- I came to get a jump
on my discovery obligations.

Turns out your client's wife

was sleeping with the man
he murdered.

[inhales sharply]

I don't know what
you used to call it,

but down here
at the local level,

we call it motive.

[soft dramatic music]

? ?

- What are you doing here,
Elizabeth?

- Amanda.
So nice to see you.

I forgot you work here.

I was just delivering
a little message to Mr. Black.

- In-person?

As I recall, you only do that
when you're gloating.

- You are still sore
about what happened

to that client of yours.
What was his name again?

- You know damn well
his name was Dante Everson.

You killed him.

Just as much as if
you shivved him yourself.

- Well, if you don't want to
get your bleeding heart

broken again, I suggest
you not get involved

in the Lester Thompson case.

- It's a loser.
- Oh, I had no such intention.

But now that
I see your smug face,

if Ted ever asks for my help,

I am gonna come running.

[tense music]
