All language subtitles for Suits.LA.S01E04.WEB

- You swore that you would
testify against Pellegrini,

who is the most brutal mob boss
that this city has ever seen.

- You're under arrest

for the murder
of Billy Esposito.

I got you now, Pellegrini.

- Did you know
my father made Stuart

the executor of his will?

- No, I didn't.

- When did Ted's father die?

- Two weeks ago.

- Did either of you know
what was happening

when you cut him
out of the merger?

No.

- I've got a 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.

- A few months ago,
I found out Simon had funneled

$1/2 million
out of the production

into his personal account.

Every time I submitted
the movie's expenses

to the studio, I kept some
receipts out of the stack.

- 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.

- What are you doing here,
Elizabeth?

- If you don't want to get your
bleeding heart broken again,

I suggest you not get involved
in the Lester Thompson case.

- Just the man I wanted to see.

- What do you need?

- Are you, by chance,
a "Veronica Mars" fan?

- Are you kidding me?

I've had a crush
on Kristen Bell since--

you don't need to know that.

Where were we?

- Well, the man
who plays her father--

- Oh, Enrico Colantoni.

"Galaxy Quest,"
"Just Shoot Me."

"English Teacher."
Need I go on?

- Please don't.

- Need me to get him
an audition?

- I need you to get him
out of jail.

- What'd he get arrested for,
being too awesome?

- He carved a sculpture
into his neighbor's hedge.

- That's a crime?

Oh.

Is that a--

- You know what it is.
- Indeed.

I do.

You know I'm not
a criminal attorney, right?

- You're not, but...

- Oh, I get it.

You want Stuart and I
to work on this together.

- I do.

Stuart's bedside manner
isn't the best.

Enrico is important to me.

He's particular.
- Particular?

- Let's just say he's not
the easygoing character

he plays on screen.

- He is versatile.

- See, I don't care if it's
Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling,

or the corpse of Ryan O'Neal.

You are not getting any of them
if you shoot this in Bulgaria.

And before you say Budapest,
it's the same thing.

Oh, new ride.

- Just a little
something-something.

- Yeah? I pay you too much.

- You pay you too much.

- What I pay me
is none of my business.

That's etched in stone.

- Words to live by.

But we have a problem.

- Did you make another
associate throw up?

- Hey, if you wanna get
paid a dollar a slice,

you better be able
to keep it down.

- I see you're really
growing as a leader.

- Ted, I'm not kidding.

I got a call this morning.

The studio is taking
Lester's name off his film.

- That doesn't sound
like a problem.

That sounds like
you need to tear

their general counsel
to shreds.

- That's the thing--they're not
using their in-house counsel.

- Well, who are they using?

Are they using Myman-Greenspan?

- Railsback-Lane.

- Rick or Samantha?

- Samantha.

- Okay, I will take care of it.

- Hold on there, tiger.

I didn't tell you so you
could take care of it.

I told you because I
figured you'd wanna know.

- But now I do know,
and I want in.

- Hey, you wanna ride shotgun,
fine by me.

But two conditions.

One, keep your mouth shut.

And two, keep your mouth shut.

- That's not two--

- Keep your mouth shut.

- No.

- What do you mean, no?

- You've got that "I want you
to do something for me"

look on your face.
- You didn't even look at me.

My client's been
arrested for vandalism.

- And my plate happens
to be full this morning.

- It's important to Samantha.

- Yet she sent you.

- Meaning?

- If you want me to do this,
I want something in return.

- Well, that doesn't
seem very fair.

- Nevertheless, any one
of 15 other lawyers here

can help you this, so you know
what it's gonna take.

- No.

Friday night "Dungeons and
Dinosaurs" at your house.

- For the hundredth time,
it's "Dungeons and Dragons."

How hard is that?

- For a 12-year-old,
it's not very hard.

- You want my help,
you'll be there.

- Am I supposed
to wear a costume?

'Cause I'm not doing that.
- Yeah, you are.

'Cause if you're gonna have
that kind of attitude,

you might as well
not even come.

- Fine.

Wizard's hat,
and I'm drawing the line.

- He sucks the joy
out of everything.

- Samantha, Erica Rollins.

Pleasure to finally meet you.

- Right back at you.

I've heard nothing
but great things.

Even if you did
turn down our offer.

- Okay, that's enough.

We know it was
your idea to take

Lester's name off the film.
- Really?

Four seconds in.
- You said hello.

I'm saying it my own way.

- And let me say top
of the morning to you.

- What's that?

- For the record,
it wasn't my idea.

But that's not gonna
stop me from doing

what my client wants.

- I don't care what
your client wants.

This is Lester's film.

- It was until he violated
his morality clause when he--

what was it he did again?

Oh, yeah, when he shot
the other producer in the head.

- Put an allegedly on
the end of that sentence,

or you are
slandering my client.

- And try to invoke
this clause,

by the time that
we are done suing you,

Lester will own
the whole damn movie.

- You're right.
If we go to court, you'll win.

But you know what else
is going to happen?

Every skeleton
in Lester's closet

will come out right
before his murder trial.

And what do you think that's
gonna do to your jury pool?

- All right, Mr. Colantoni,

let's see what
we're dealing with here.

This is what they
arrested you for?

I have to say,
it's well-proportioned.

- If I had done it,
I'd take that as a compliment.

But this whole charge is
concocted by my neighbor,

who's been making my life hell
ever since his stupid

TikTok video blew up and gets
himself a streaming show,

and all of a sudden,
he's got enough money

to buy himself a mansion.

Took me two hit shows
to make that kind of money.

So the only question is,
is what are you

gonna do about it, beard boy?

- Listen, asswipe, I'm not your
entertainment lawyer,

I'm not your servant
or your friend.

I'm here to get your sorry ass
out of hot water.

- How dare you talk
to me like that?

I was in "Galaxy Quest."

- Yeah, so was
Sigourney Weaver.

- Oh, please.
She had one job to do.

Did she have to play an alien?
No.

- She was possessed
in "Ghostbusters"!

- Okay, she was good.

She was good in that.

- She's not sitting here
right now.

You are because
you carved a penis

into your neighbor's
rhododendron.

- First of all,
it wasn't just a penis.

It was the full package.

Second of all, it was petunias.

And most importantly,
I told you, I didn't do this.

- Let's you and I
drop the pretense.

You did this.

And it should be
a vandalism charge.

But since you were dumb enough
to use a chainsaw,

it's criminal trespassing,
which puts you

behind bars for three years.

So you're gonna come clean
with me right now.

- Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I told you, I--

I know what it looks like.

But I didn't do this.

- I believe you.

- Hey, what kind of place
is this?

I still got a quarter of a bite
left of my pastrami on rye.

- Take care of this
mess then, pal.

I'm busy here.

I love when we do that.

- Look at this.

Small world.

Teddy Black, friendly
neighborhood prosecutor,

as I live and breathe.

- Eddie, why don't you go
clock out, buddy?

What in the hell do you think
that you're doing here,

threatening my brother?

- Relax, Teddy.
We don't go after family.

You know that.

- No, you just bribed
my father to get him

to offer me a job.

- I was doing you a favor,
and you should have taken it.

Corporate law, a lot safer.

- If you think
that intimidation

is gonna stop me
from putting you away,

you have no idea
who you're dealing with.

- If you think
you're putting me anywhere,

you're the one who doesn't know
who they're dealing with.

- Teddy, I want to go.

- Looks like
your brother's upset.

By the way,
shame about Billy Esposito.

Terrible way to go.

You two boys have yourselves
a nice day.

- What's that?

- Oh, it's, uh, nothing.

What do you need?

- Lester Thompson's
coming in at 2:00.

You think of what you're
gonna tell him yet?

- I thought this
was your matter.

I was supposed to
keep my mouth shut.

- And I was supposed
to be 5'8".

But you can't keep your mouth
shut, and I'm only 5'5".

So you're it.

- Listen, the only way to
get Lester to take his name

off this movie is to
put him into a corner

and then show him the way out.

So one of us needs to
push him into a corner,

and the other one needs
to show him the way out.

- Ooh, are you talking
good cop, bad cop?

- I wouldn't exactly
call it that.

- Call it that,
or I'm not doing it.

- No.
- Then I'm not doing it.

- Good cop, bad cop, it is.
- Yes.

Then Lester Thompson
better watch out

'cause he's about
to get Terica'd.

- Nuh-uh.

Hey, we're not doing that.

We're not doing that.

- One question,
one question only.

Did you know?

- Did I know what?

- What Rico Colantoni
carved into that hedge?

- I have no idea.

What did he carve?

Banana?

- You think this is funny?

- Yeah, I think it's funny.
I worked all morning on this.

Yeah, right.

It's hysterical.

But in the future,
don't send me in

without all the information.
- Copy that.

Next time, I'll make sure
you have the full package.

- Just to be clear,
this is the full package.

- Well, this isn't good.
- No, it isn't.

I knew he was lying
about doing it.

Now he's gonna lie
about why he did it.

- How do you know?

- Because people who
commit crimes always lie.

There's something
at the root of this,

and the only way to
get to it is to bully him

into admitting it.

- Are you saying what
I think you're saying?

- Yes.

Good cop.
- Bad cop.

This is awesome.
Can I be bad cop?

- No.
- Why not?

- Because you don't
have the apples.

You know, I'm sorry,
I thought I could do this.

I can't.

- I can.

No, I can't. That is terrible.

- I am not taking my name
off this film.

I want you to fight this.

- If we take this to court,
your chances of being convicted

go through the roof.

- What are you talking about?
- It's a morality clause.

Things that are inadmissible
in a murder trial

will be put on display here.

If we fight this, every shady
thing that you've ever done

can be used against you
in the Simon trial.

- This is a crock.

- You're right, Lester, it is.

But I have an idea.

We move your murder trial up.

We get you exonerated.

- Erica, that's insane.

- We're gonna make this
whole name off your--

- Erica. Erica!
- What?

- Lester will go to prison.

We don't know what they have,
and we sure as hell

aren't ready to
defend against it.

- He's right.
Lester, it was a bad idea.

- You know what?

Move up the trial.

- Lester, were you listening?
It's not worth the risk.

- It is to me.

When I was a kid,
people picked on me.

And when I would
go to the movies,

it was the only place
where I could feel

like I was part of something
without being made

to feel different.

I was right there with Indiana
Jones, Han Solo, and Rocky.

These guys were
not only my heroes,

but they were my friends.

I'm one of the most successful
producers around.

Not one of my movies is
worthy of 14-year-old me.

Until now.

This film is the only thing
I've ever done

that I am proud of.

I did not murder Simon.

And I am not going to let
a false accusation

take it from me.

- Lester, I understand, but--

- Erica.

- Oh, there he is.

Ready?
- Let's rock it.

- Rico, nice to meet you.

I'm Rick Dodson,
head of entertainment.

- I don't see why I had to come
all the way down here

just for him
to make this thing go away.

- You live four minutes
from here.

- It's not the point.

I don't wanna
establish a pattern.

- Actually, Rico, the reason
we called you down here

is because we're both
new to representing you,

and we wanted you to know that
we're big fans of your work.

- Well, that's more like it.

- I've got something
to show you.

- Yeah?

What is it, the torture scene
in "Galaxy Quest"?

'Cause I improv-ed
most of that scene.

- This happens to be some
of your more recent work.

- Oh, yeah? "English Teacher"?
Yeah.

That's great.
So they--they caught the guy.

- This is my favorite part.
- Mm.

I don't care. That's not me.

- Are you actually going--
- Okay, I did it. I did it.

- Yeah, we know you did it,
Chainsaw Charlie.

We're trying to figure out why.

- What do you mean, why?

His stupid petunias
are on my property.

- Uh-uh. You lied before.
You're lying now.

I will not have a client
who lies to me.

- Why are you doing this to me?
- We're just here to help.

- We can't do that if you don't
tell us the goddamn truth.

- I don't want him
on my team anymore.

- Well, moron, you should have
thought about that

before you--
- Stuart, that is enough!

He won't say another word
if you just tell us the truth.

- All right.

It wasn't about the petunias.

That TikToker made me
look like a fool.

One day, I parked 2 inches
inside his driveway

for like 15 minutes to rush in
and use the facilities.

I have a sensitive colon.

- Sorry to hear that.

- I gotta go,
the clock is ticking.

Anyway, that night I got
a call from the police

saying I needed to come down
and get a ticket,

or I was gonna be arrested.

- For a parking violation?
- They would never do that.

- Well, I realize that now,

but he kept me on the phone
for half an hour.

He put me through the wringer,
and it wasn't until I got down

to the police station and I was
asking for an Officer McCracken

that I realized--

- You were an idiot.
- It was very convincing.

Anyway, that night I got home,

and there was a package
on my doorstep.

And he had--he had
recorded the whole call

so I wouldn't forget.

So, you know, petunia payback.
So.

- Okay, we are gonna need
to hear that tape.

- I'd prefer you not.

- Jail time or your dignity.

One or the other.

- All right, I'll get it.

I'm only four minutes away.
I'll be right back.

- What are you doing here?

- You come to my meetings,
I come to your meetings.

Besides, I've never actually
been in a courtroom before.

Don't tell my boss.

Am I supposed to do this?

- Couldn't hurt.

- All right, let's get to it.

Mr. Black, I understand
you have a motion.

- Yes, Your Honor,
we would like to move

for an expedited trial
and start as soon as possible.

- What?

- My client's been accused
of a heinous crime

that's not only damaged
his reputation,

but it's affecting
his livelihood.

- Are you sure this motion is
in your client's best interest?

- Can I take this?
- All yours.

- None of this is in our
client's interest, Your Honor.

His entire life has just
been turned upside down.

But he is willing to risk
his freedom to clear his name

and protect his legacy.

Very nice.

- That's a pretty speech,

but we haven't had time
to build our case.

- You had time to arrest him.
You had time to arraign him.

- Your Honor, the state needs
at least a week to respond.

- She means to delay.

- I'm not gonna have
my integrity questioned

by an entertainment lawyer
who decided

to masquerade as
a criminal defense attorney.

- That's enough.

Ms. Smith,
you have until tomorrow.

- You're not gonna
get away with this.

If you're filing this motion,

it's because you're
hiding something.

And I'm going to find out
what that is.

- I don't have
the lease agreement with me,

but I'm pretty sure this
isn't the office you rented.

- Evidently the previous
occupant of this office

left in the middle of the night
without my landlord realizing.

So I thought I'd borrow it

because he's too stupid
to notice.

Too soon?
- Maybe.

But I'd be willing to let it go
if you'd do something for me.

I filed a motion
to expedite Lester's trial.

- Why would you do that?
You can't possibly be ready.

- I'm not, but my client
wants his name cleared,

even if that means
rushing to trial.

- And let me guess,
Elizabeth Smith

thinks that if you want it,

there must be
something else going on.

- That's what I came
to talk to you about.

You know her.

You know what she'll
come at me with.

And I need your help
to stop her.

- I'd love to help,
but as I mentioned before,

getting producers
out of trouble

isn't exactly my cup of tea.

- Maybe not, but I did overhear
your conversation with Smith,

and I believe that
the exact quote was,

"If he asks,
I'll come running."

It's time to come running.

- In that case,

let me lace up my track shoes.

- Officer, I swear--
I swear, it was an emergency.

The mess was everywhere.

I didn't even make it
to the toilet.

- Sir, I've told you
several times

the law makes no exceptions...

For bowel movements.

- You can hear him laughing.

- Well, they should because it
was an absolute crime scene.

- Sir, either you're here
in 20 minutes,

or we're sending
a patrol car to arrest you.

- 20 minutes, 20 minutes.
Yes, I can do it.

Thank you for your kindness,
Officer McCracken.

- He says McCracken.

How does he not know?

- Oh, man.

I gotta say, I get why
Rico hates the guy,

but that was genius.

- Oh, it was.

Just one thing, though.

- He shouldn't have gloated.
- No, he should not have.

And now we know
what we have to do.

- Indeed, we do.

- Hey, Rick, I need
to ask you something.

Were you
good copping me earlier

with the "that's enough"?

- Yes and no.

Stuart, when you're
dealing with actors,

there's a line you can't cross.

- Ted crossed that line plenty.

- Ted crossed that line
on behalf of his clients,

not with his clients.
- Don't give me that.

I know the man.

- Well, then you know
where it got him.

Stuart, I told you this before,
I am not Ted,

but I am the head
of entertainment.

You gotta hear
what I'm telling you.

- Erica.

- Amanda.

- What ya got there?

- Just a little
something-something.

- Do I smell moo shu chicken?

- You might be catching
a hint of Beijing beef too.

- That's a lot of food
for a young woman.

- Oh, I'm not gonna
eat all this myself.

I hate moo shu chicken.

- Do you know anyone
who really loves it?

- I believe I do, actually,
but she's,

you know, busy helping Ted.

So I'm gonna have to
share it with you.

- You know, there's a rule,
you can't eat moo shu chicken

without an egg roll.

Yes.

- You know, Amanda,
I keep doing this

because I feel like I haven't
thanked you enough

for getting me out
of that jam last year.

- Erica, you've done this,
what, ten times?

Believe me, I feel appreciated.

- Good.

- Pay up in moo shu.
That's what I say.

- Amanda, the hearing
is about to begin.

Where are you?

- All right, Ms. Smith,
I read Mr. Black's motion,

and I'm inclined
to start trial Monday

unless you can give me
a compelling reason not to.

- Your Honor, the truth is,
I had no compelling reason

until last night.

The state discovered
a potential witness,

and we need time to
verify their testimony.

- How much time?

- Normally, I'd say a month,

but I'd be willing
to get it done in a week.

- Your Honor, this is
incredibly convenient.

- And once again, my integrity
is being called into question

by the Hollywood hotshot.

- Mr. Black, unless you have
evidence she's stalling,

I'm inclined to
give her the week.

- Your Honor,
Amanda Stevens for the defense.

I'm sorry I'm late, but you
don't need to catch me up.

I'm pretty sure
I know what happened.

Ms. Smith needs another week
for a mysterious

last-second witness.

The reason I am certain of this
is because

she pulled the same stunt
on this case.

And this case and this case.

Yet none of these witnesses
ever materialized.

- Your Honor, I assure you,
this is a real witness.

- Then I'm sure the prosecution
will have no problem

disclosing this
person's identity.

- I can't do that until
we're locked down.

- Then disclose it
to the judge.

If it doesn't pan out,
no one will ever know.

- Ms. Smith, do you care
to privately disclose

the identity of this witness?

- Do you?

- Not at this time, Your Honor.

- Then we start trial
on Monday.

- Did that really require
a last-minute entrance?

- Well, it's just
more fun that way.

Told you I'd come running.

- Let me remind you,
the last time you came running,

you ran into a buzz saw.

I might have lost this round.

But the sooner we go to trial,

the sooner your client
goes to prison.

- Hey, you.

Everything okay?

- Yeah, no, I'm just in a--

I'm in a hurry
to get to my game.

- Your game doesn't start
for an hour.

What's going on?

- Um, yeah, I don't--

I wasn't going
through your stuff,

but I saw there was
an offer letter from a firm

in California, and I was
just wondering

when you were gonna
tell me about that.

- I was never
going to tell you

because I get those
all the time.

- Do you?

- I also get asked out
at the gym all the time.

Those, sometimes I say yes to.

- Okay.

- Ted, I love my life here.

I love you.

I'm not going anywhere.

But there is something
I wanna talk to you about.

- Is it switching gyms?

Because I would be good with
that if you wanted to switch.

- Eddie talked to me about
what happened at the diner.

- He talked to you about that?

- Of course.

We talk about a lot of things.

Ted, he was scared,
and he didn't know

exactly what happened,
but I'm pretty sure I do.

- Samantha, it's--

- I understand your job
involves some risk.

I just wanna make sure you're
not putting Eddie in danger.

- That man was not
there for Eddie.

That man was there for me.

You have nothing
to worry about.

- Ted, to what do I
owe the pleasure?

- I have a present for you.

- I hope you know
I'm still a size four.

- It's a little smaller
than that.

This is an injunction

preventing you from removing
Lester's name from his movie

until after his case
is decided.

- You got his trial
moved up, didn't you?

- Starts Monday.

- Well, I hope
you're prepared to lose

because we just completed
an audit, and it turns out

Lester was stealing
from his own movie.

You knew.
- It's not what you think.

Simon was stealing
from the movie.

Lester was trying
to pay it back.

- That's even worse
for his trial.

- Samantha, I'm telling you
that Lester is not a murderer.

- That's not my concern.

My client wants your client
to take his name off the movie.

You do that,
I'll see what I can do

about keeping this quiet.

- Pickleball Nation,
I'm taking over.

Watch it. Come on.
Hit me. Whoo!

I'm just a natural at this.
Come on, now.

See, I'm the king of this.

I've only been playing
for a minute.

Let's go, baby. Come on.

Hit me. Hit me.
No, no, a little higher, dude.

No.

That's on you, man. Hey!

I don't wanna sign
autographs while I'm working.

It's a pickleball court.
Have a little respect, please.

- For the game or for you?

- What's going on here, boomer?

- Oh.
- Boomer?

We're here to let you know
you're gonna drop the charges

against Enrico Colantoni.

- Am I also gonna cure cancer?

'Cause I'm not doing
either one.

- Well, if you don't
drop the charges,

you're gonna end up in prison.

- For what?

That clown and I
have had beef for a year,

and nothing that I did
was as bad as vandalism.

- I think you're forgetting you
impersonated a police officer.

- Officer McCracken
in particular.

- Are you kidding me?

What are you gonna put me
away for, being hilarious?

- See, that's exactly
what Rico said

when you had them arrest him.

- If he's getting charged,
so are you.

- Or did you forget you
hand-delivered him a recording?

- You can't use that.
I gave that to him voluntarily.

- It doesn't make any
difference, you moron.

So what's it gonna be?

- Yeah,
they'll drop the charges.

Damn it.

- And the racket.

- You three, get a real job.

- Ted, I got notification the
studio is auditing the film.

Now, is there anything in there
I should know about?

The audit's already done.

They just sent this over
to remind me of their threat.

- What threat?

- Simon was stealing
from the movie.

Lester found out.

And if that comes out at trial,
it will look like

Lester killed him in a rage.

- How do you know all this?

- Because I went over there
to tell Samantha we had him,

and she dropped this on me.

- You went without me?

Ted, I know we were joking
earlier, but this is my case.

- The studio part of it is.

But this was potentially
affecting his trial,

and I made a call.

Look, we can discuss
my methods later.

Right now,
I could use your help.

- I'll help you.

But next time,
keep me in the loop.

- Noted.

- Now, what do you got?

- I've been thinking
about how Amanda

outplayed Elizabeth Smith.

She knew her playbook,
and she used it against her.

- And you wanna use Samantha's
playbook against her?

- Right, but I haven't
found an opening.

- Well, maybe you have
the right idea.

You're just looking
in the wrong place.

- How do you mean?

- Well, I don't know
Samantha's playbook,

but I definitely know
the studio's.

- Bill!
- Ted.

- I haven't seen you
since the Denzel negotiations.

- Oh, that wasn't
a negotiation.

That was me
cleaning your clock.

Well, he's worth every penny.

But you didn't have to come all
the way down here

just to hand me
Lester's signature.

- Well, there's just something
about being on a studio lot.

- Oh, I get it.
Magic of the movies.

- Nope, it reminds me
of the mountain of money

that you're sitting on

that you do not wanna share
with anybody.

- What's going on here?

- We're not here to take
Lester's name off his movie.

We're here to tell you
what's gonna happen

if you go down this road.

- Because there's
nothing a studio wants less

than someone auditing
one of their pictures.

- And it just so happens
if you release

an audit of this movie...

- It triggers our ability
to audit

every one of Lester's movies
he's ever made with you.

That mountain of money
goes from your bank account

straight into Lester's.

- Okay, Bill and I
need a minute to digest this.

- I don't need to digest
a goddamn thing.

'Cause here's the deal--

Lester Thompson
is a slimy piece of crap.

He's cheated me on
every film we've ever made,

and I've always hated him.

So you win.

We won't release our audit.

And he could keep his name
on his little movie,

but it'll never see
the light of day

'cause I'd rather
cut my arm off

than see that picture released
with his name on it.

- Bill.
- I'll take the write-off.

It won't even hurt
my bottom line.

- Are you kidding me?

What happened to your
whole magic of movies bull?

- Erica, Bill has made
his position clear.

- No, we can't just sit by
and let him get away with this.

- I think what Ted's
trying to tell you is,

you don't have
any other choice.

- Take the base!

I got to go talk to my pitcher.

- Looks like his shortstop's
got that handled.

- You got to be kidding me.

- Listen, playoff's
are on the line.

I'm my usual three for three.

You want to tell me
what's going on with you?

- Nothing is going on.
- Really?

Because you're the closest
thing to Batman

besides me that I've ever seen.

And he's the second batter
you've hit this inning.

- First of all,
you're the closest thing

to Batman that
I've ever seen besides me.

- Batman doesn't say
things like that.

- And second, Klepper
was crowding the plate,

and Reynolds had it coming.

- If the plan is to throw at
everyone who's had it coming,

then I'm gonna sit back,
and you can knock 'em down

one by one, but that's not
what's going on right now.

- Hey, we gonna play
sometime this week?

Shut up, Reynolds!

- Next time, do us all a favor
and hit him in the mouth.

- I'm a little frustrated.
- What's going on?

- Pellegrini came
to Eddie's diner.

Eddie told Samantha.
They're both scared.

And I'm on tilt
because this scumbag

has gotten under their skin.

- I get it, but Pellegrini's
not here right now,

and we have a game to win,
so get him out of your head.

After this is over,
I'll buy you a couple drinks,

we'll talk this thing through.

- Thanks, Harvey.
- Go get 'em, Batman.

- Batman.

- Whatever it is, Bill is not
going to change his mind.

- Maybe not, but what Bill said
did get me thinking.

He's always hated Lester,
but every actor that has ever

worked with Lester loves him,

including some
of my biggest clients.

- Ted, be careful what
you're about to say.

- Denzel loves him.

Matt loves him.

Leo--
- Get to it.

- Not only do they
love Lester,

they hate the idea of a studio
head burying a huge movie

out of spite because they know
if it could happen to Lester,

it could happen to them.

- You're bluffing.

And I'm not taking
an empty threat to my client.

- If Bill buries
Lester's movie,

not one A-list client
will ever work with him again.

And when that story gets out,

how long do you think
that Bill will last

as the head of the studio?

- You're telling me
he's dropping everything,

all the charges?

- You are 100% off the hook.

- And yet I'm not satisfied.

- What are you talking about?

- We both dropped the charges.
It's a draw.

It's time for the kill shot.
Pow!

- Rico, you were
going to go to prison.

- Yeah, but now I'm not,
and I want more.

I want more.

- What's really going on here?

- What are you talking about?

- Listen, if I'm gonna
represent you, I need you--

can you stop?

If I'm gonna represent you,

I need you to feel comfortable
telling me the truth.

What is at the heart
of this beef?

- My kids like him
more than they like me.

They watch his stream,
and they can't stop laughing.

And they used to laugh
like that watching me.

Now I'm like just a joke.

- What if you were
a guest on his stream?

Then your kids would see
a different side of you.

- Yeah, no. He hates my guts.

- You let me worry about that.

If I can't make this
happen for you,

I don't deserve
to represent you.

- Okay.

- Good.

- By the way,
where's beard boy?

- Yeah, you'll never
have to see him again.

- I don't understand.

- Well, you said you don't
want him on your team,

and I pride myself
on hearing my clients.

- You know, Rick, we just met.

But I think I love you.

- Rico, we did just meet.

And you do love me.

I do.

- Hey, Lester, I'm with Erica.

We got an update for you.

- The studio is
gonna bury the film

if you insist on
keeping your name on it.

- God damn it.
- Hang on, there's more.

I told them
if they bury the movie

that no A-list piece of talent
that you've worked with

will ever do another movie
with them again.

- You got all those people
to stand up for me?

- No, I did try,
and they love you,

but you know
how this town works.

- So you bluffed?

- Yeah, and if it
doesn't work,

you're gonna have
a decision to make.

- Don't you get it, Ted?

I am losing my reputation.

If this trial doesn't go my
way, I'll lose my freedom.

And now they're saying unless
I don't take credit for it,

the most important thing
I've ever done

will never see
the light of day.

- Lester, I haven't
known you very long,

but I wanna say something.

Sometimes I get pissed at Ted.

He cuts me out of meetings,
and he swoops in

and takes credit
for things I've done.

But it doesn't matter, 'cause
I don't do this for credit.

I do this because
I love what I do.

I guess what
I'm trying to say is,

anyone who counts knows
that this is your baby.

- Hmm.

Well, you better hope
your bluff works.

But if it doesn't, I want
my baby out in this world.

- I didn't know
you felt that way.

- You think you're the only one
who knows how to tell a client

what they need to hear?
- Oh, no.

- Truth is, you give me credit.

But you cut me out
of meetings sometimes too.

- Now that I know that it leads
to you kicking so much ass,

I'm gonna do it more often.

Well, I'd say my performance
deserves a drink.

- Erica, I really do feel like
the work is its own reward.

- Lester Thompson got Terica'd.

No.

- What'll it be, boys?

- We're gonna have two Guinness
and, Eddie, whatever you want.

- No, we're not gonna drink
that cheap crap that you like.

We're here to celebrate
you getting your head

out of your ass and pitching us
into the playoffs.

- I feel like I just got
insulted and complimented

at the same time.

- Harvey Specter,
nice to meet you.

- Macallan 25, three of them.

- Hey, Eddie doesn't need that.
- Yes, he does.

Eddie, it is
the smoothest drink

you'll ever taste.

- Harvey, he'd be happy
with a pineapple juice

from across the street.

- Uh-uh, I want the smoothest
drink you ever taste.

- See? Eddie gets it.

- Eddie, you don't
even like beer.

- Just relax, buddy boy.
- Yeah, buddy boy.

- God damn it, Harvey.

You lied. This is awful.

I'm getting a pineapple juice.

- I mean, money well spent.

Harvey, I really
appreciated this.

I need to get my mind
off things.

- Ted, I'm gonna
tell you something,

and you didn't hear it from me,
but I called my people

at the DA's office,
and word is,

Pellegrini has someone
in your office.

- That's how they found Billy.

Harvey, do I need
to be worried?

- No, right now, it's you
against Pellegrini.

Even he knows,
he gets rid of you,

they'll send an army after him.

Thanks, Harvey.

How long are you gonna play
for the prosecutors league?

You left the DA
like five years ago.

- You want to play
for a championship with me?

Or would you like to play
for a championship against me?

- Oh, you think
I couldn't take you.

- There's only one Batman.
- I know.

You just bought him a drink.
- I know.

I bought myself a drink,
and I'm Batman.

You can be Robin.

- I'm Superman.
- That's cheating.

- That's exactly what Batman
would say to Superman.

You're Batman.
I'm Superman.

No takebacks.

- Said Robin. I win.

- Agree to disagree.
Don't say anything else.

- That is kryptonite,
by the way.

- Doesn't matter.
I'm Robin.

- Now?
- Yeah.

- To Robin.

- Hey.

- Hey.
What are you guys watching?

- What we're always watching,
our favorite.

- "Friends."
- Oh, okay.

Scoot over.
I've had a long day.

- Easy, cowboy.

I'm sitting here.
- What?

That's my spot, man.

- Bring it on.

- This is my spot.

- Apparently,
it's not your spot tonight.

- Okay, well, I'm gonna
make us some popcorn.

- How long have you
been standing there?

- Not long.

You just looked so peaceful.

I didn't wanna ruin it
by telling you

Bill doesn't care
about your threat.

He's burying the film anyway.

- Is he?

- No, I was just bluffing.

Like I know you were
with Denzel, Damon, and Leo.

But Bill didn't want
to risk his job,

so I'm here to tell you,

Lester's film is
officially getting released

with his name on it.

- Care to put that in writing?

How did you know that
I was hypothetically bluffing?

- I can tell when
you're bluffing, Ted.

I've seen all your faces.

We were on the phone.

- I was speaking
metaphorically.

- I knew that.

I knew it.

- It's funny.

There was a time
you mocked what I did.

You wouldn't give a man
like Lester the time of day,

and you sure as hell
wouldn't defend

someone accused of murder.

You are not the same man
you were when we were together.

- Is that a good thing
or a bad thing?

- I like it.

- I'm not the only one
that's not the same.

- How am I different?

- You're stronger.

- You mean colder?

- No, Samantha, I don't.

Listen, did it
ever occur to you

that you could have partnered
with me instead of Stuart?

- It did.

But the fact is, you still
put Ted Black's needs

above everyone else's.

Just because it doesn't
get anyone killed anymore

doesn't make it okay.

- You still blame me
for Cameron.

- You still think
that's why I left.

It's not.

It's that you were
more concerned

with getting Pellegrini back
than with what I needed.

- I was doing that for you.

- I know you believe that.

- If you had gone with me
instead of Stuart,

we could have made
a heck of a team.

- Hypothetically.

- Who was that?

- Samantha Railsback.

- The woman who
gutted your firm?

- The very one.

But I don't wanna talk
about her.

I'd like to talk about you.
Did you get my note?

- You mean this eviction
notice written in crayon?

- I didn't want you
to think it was real.

- What did you
want me to think?

- Come with me.

- Are you asking me
to move in with you?

- Well, it's--
it's lonely up there.

- You mean you're
lonely down here?

- Amanda, I saw the look
in your eyes

when you took down Smith.

I'm going to trial next week,

and I might need
your help again.

- Just to be clear, as long as
that's a possibility,

I'd consider us
to be working together.

So you might wanna think
about that.

- Duly noted.

What do you think about this?

- I--I have no choice.

I've been evicted by crayon.

- I know a good pro bono lawyer
that might be able

to get you out of it.
- What's her name?

Maybe I can pawn off
this stupid murder trial

I just got saddled with.

- Idiot McGee.

- Capital M, capital G or--

- She doesn't know
because she's--she's--

- She's a--
- She's an idiot, yeah.

- Only one man I know
would send that.

I guess he wanted to
acknowledge my promotion.

- I think it's
a little more than that.

Hey, I just wanted to stop by
and see how it went with Rico.

- We worked it out.

I even got him a guest spot
on the TikToker's show.

McCracken.

- I think you mean
Officer McCracken.

- Hmm.

Hey, about our
conversation earlier,

I've never had
the best bedside manner.

I just always thought
if I got the job done,

what did it matter?

- You mean, what does it matter
to treat people with kindness?

- Yeah, about that.

One of the reasons
I left Ted is,

we didn't always bring out
the best in each other.

And I'm hoping I can reset
that dynamic here with you.

I appreciate you
keeping me honest.

- I'll try and keep it up.

- Oh, you know, Rick?
- Yeah?

- You don't have to play "D&D"
on Friday night anymore.

- Oh, my God, that's great,
'cause I had this--

- I'm just kidding.
6:00 p.m. sharp.

And you're not wearing
that wizard hat,

you can start looking
for a new job.

Incremental growth.

- I'm not wearing that hat.

I quit.

I didn't come this far
to come this far.

- Aaron. Aaron!
