Original subtitles

Previously on "Suits LA"...

If you're gonna have a career as a writer,

it's dedicating your life to it.

Yeah?

We were approached by a writer for representation.

We have a conflict. - Ezra Bridger.

If your friend is hiding behind a pen name,

deep down, he knows he doesn't have what it takes.

It was the Yankees game.

It was the greatest day of his life.

He even took a picture of us and added a frame.

His father's on trial and he doesn't know?

He got convicted.

- I missed you. - I missed you too.

I wanna be with you.

If you don't wanna be with me,

I think we just need to stay away from each other.

When you told me about Adam Driver,

the vet had just called and told me they put Katniss down.

So you could've come with me?

A person can't just turn off their feelings, Erica.

No, you don't turn them off, you put them on hold,

and you get the job done.

She wants you to take an anger management course.

But Bowie threatened my family.

I need your help. I don't know what to do.

I got you.

Stuart's struggling.

He needs some time off.

You still think of him as a brother, don't you?

Turns out I do.

Rick?

Why are you calling me at... 6:00 in the morning?

I had some work to catch up on,

so I came to the office early.

Look, I read one of the scripts you gave me.

Gotta say, it's pretty damn good.

One of which scripts?

Ezra Bridger's.

You thought it was good?

Wha--I don't understand.

You said Ezra didn't have what it takes.

I know what I said. Just do me a favor.

Tell him I'd like to meet with him.

Let me reach out to him and get back to you.

Oh.

What brings you here this hour of the morning?

Well, I have a 7:00 a.m. call, and I remembered you said

you get in early, so, you know, took a chance you'd be here.

Did you wanna discuss

your upcoming press dates?

I'd rather discuss your "Footloose" dance.

What dance?

I wasn't dancing. I wasn't even here.

I'm not even here right now.

No, seriously.

It must be important if you're here this early.

I wanna talk about what's next after my Warner Brothers deal.

I already know what's next.

You wanna use your new profile

to go after projects you've been

wanting to do your whole life.

How can you know that?

It's my job to know that.

Well, I hope you're ready

because I'm about to show you the real me.

Larry McMurtry.

Most people are surprised that I'm a fan.

But my mom and I used to read it together, and I--

I fell in love.

Strong woman living on the Western frontier,

making her way against all odds?

You think it's a stretch for me?

I think it is you.

Well, I just found out that there's a script in the works,

and the producer is already looking for a director.

Well, I'm gonna make their day,

because they might be looking for a director,

but I just found their star.

Thanks, Rick.

You know, in "Footloose," he actually takes

his shirt off to do the barn dance.

Then I guess I'll never do the "Footloose" barn dance.

Too bad.

You know what today is?

Of course.

How could I forget?

It was the best day of your life.

You, me, and Dad.

Yankees even won.

I wish we could do that again.

Samantha.

What are those?

Soft pretzels.

You remembered.

Of course I did.

He talked about that day so much,

you'd have thought it was his birthday.

It's how birthdays should be.

I guess that's why he always wanted to celebrate it.

He'd be 45 now.

I miss him too.

Come on.

Stop right there, cowboy. This cart is mine.

I don't see how it could be because my hand is on it.

My suitcase is about to be.

Put your suitcase there, we're gonna have a problem.

Here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna wait here.

You're gonna get yourself a fruity little welcome drink.

I'm gonna go to my room, and I'll send this back your way.

You're not sending anything my way

because I was here first, and I'm taking it.

No, sir, you are not.

Get the hell out of my face.

I am not in your face.

But I can definitely put something there,

something hard, thick, and hairy.

You better not be saying what I think you are.

I sure as hell am.

My Little Louis is coming your way.

I don't know what's worse, that you call your penis

Little Louis or that you think I'm gonna

let you put it in my face.

I was talking about my fist, dumbass.

Who would call their penis Little Louis?

Angry Sylvester would be furious.

Who the hell is Angry Sylvester?

My penis! Keep up!

I don't want to!

And you so much as shove a pinkie in my face,

I will sue your ass into the ground!

Well, you picked the wrong guy for that, bucko,

because I happen to be one of the best

lawyers in the country.

Oh, which country would that be, Fantasyland?

Because I'm one of the best lawyers in the country,

and I have no idea who you are.

Oh, well, I'll be happy to tell you who I am.

My name is Louis goddamn Litt.

And you're about to get Litt the hell--

Excuse me.

Are you gentlemen by any chance here

for the hostility mitigation program?

- What happened? - Why do you ask?

Just a hunch.

But since you seem to be getting along so well,

I'll be placing you both in my session

for the rest of your stay.

Wouldn't have it any other way.

Sounds lovely.

both: That one's yours.

No!

You're in later than usual.

I had a little something to take care of.

But if you're here about your bonus recommendations,

I approved all of them except for one,

because I don't recall asking you for a recommendation

for yourself.

Well, I figured if I was going to do the rest,

I might as well sit down with myself,

review myself, and decide that I'm killing it.

That, you are. So I added 20%.

- Thank you, Ted. - You deserve it.

Well, if I didn't then, I definitely do now

'cause I am about to sign a big new client.

See, now you're talking my language.

Who is it? - Nicole Kidman.

That's Samantha's client.

For now.

But she's been quietly looking around,

and tonight yours truly is going to seal the deal.

Erica, we are finally back on good terms with Railsback Lane,

and if we poach one of their clients,

it's back to square one.

It's not poaching if the client

was on her way out anyway.

I don't care.

I don't wanna play the game that way.

It's not a game, Ted. This is my job.

You want me to pass on this so you can play nice

with the firm that screwed us over?

It's more complicated than that.

I know you and Stuart go way back.

I know you miss being on good terms with Rick.

But there is personal, and there's business.

Erica, I'm asking you not to do this.

And I'm answering.

Rick Dodson on a studio lot--

that doesn't happen every day.

Well, when Melissa Johnson is in production,

I know the only place to find her is on set.

- What brings you here? - The McMurtry adaptation.

Your lead role has Dylan Pryor written all over it.

In what language?

McMurtry is a period Western,

and Dylan's never done anything like it.

Well, I thought you, of all people,

would sympathize with being denied your shot

because of preconceived notions.

Don't play that card with me.

I am not handing out starring roles to unproven people.

I give you my word.

She'll crush this.

Oh, then let me throw out every instinct

I have based on your word.

Forget my word, then.

She just finished Tina Liu's latest indie.

Do you know how many indie films

I slept through this year?

Melissa, come on.

Rick, she's a pretty girl who can run and jump,

but she doesn't have what it takes.

Then let her audition, and give her

a chance to prove you wrong.

She can audition till she's blue in the face.

As long as I am producing this movie,

she's not getting that part.

I'd like to start by saying

we're all here because we've had trouble

mitigating our hostility.

For God's sake, can we just call it anger management

one damn time? - Peter.

All I'm saying is, how many times do I have to hear

"hostility mitigation"?

How many times have you heard it?

Peter has been with us for six years.

I don't think it's working.

Finally, something we can agree on.

Well, you two clowns can kiss my--

Peter!

As I was saying, we're here to get to the root of our anger.

And I'm looking for a brave volunteer

to say where they think their hostility comes from.

Pass.

My hostility stems from the fact

that the entire time we worked together,

the man who was supposed to be my best friend

and partner in my law firm treated me like dirt.

All I ever wanted was his respect,

but he belittled everything I did at every turn and--

- Cry me a river. - What did you just say?

I said if you think you've been made fun of

by your best friend/law partner more than me,

you're out of your freakin' mind.

Mine punched me in the face.

Mine threw me into a table.

Mine made my future wife cry.

Mine slept with my superhot sister.

Are we talking a nine or ten? both: Stay out of it!

Called me a flea in front of the collective leadership

of two firms.

Peed in my ficus tree 16 times.

Shaved half my beard while I was sleeping.

- Made fun of my mankini. - What the hell is a mankini?

- Wouldn't you like to know? - No, I wouldn't.

It's where Angry Sylvester hangs out with his buddies.

You disgusting son of a bitch.

That's enough!

Last week, I ran a session

with first responders from the LA fires

angry at the world for not appreciating what they have

when families lost everything.

I told them they were wrong,

but I was the one who was wrong.

And you two, with your pettiness and your spite,

make me sick!

And who the hell wears a suit to hostility mitigation?

- Good, you're here. - I am.

I got my bonus check today.

I know.

I saw the number.

I thought it was pretty good.

I thought so, too,

until Henderson told me what his was.

Henderson should not have done that.

It's not about Henderson.

I was bothered by the number because it reflects

what Erica thinks of me.

I thought I was doing better than pretty good,

and I wanna tell her.

But you've been giving me great advice,

and if you think I'm out of line, I want you to tell me.

My advice would be not to say anything to Erica.

If you don't think she values you enough,

let that light a fire under you.

But I already had a fire lit under me.

And this bonus doesn't show that.

And then this morning, I got a call that--

Leah, what's going on?

Nothing.

I don't need to tell Erica anything.

This is where I wanna be, and I know that.

Let me start by saying

I'm sorry I lost my composure.

I'm hoping what happened doesn't stop you all

from sharing what's going on inside you.

I was lying.

I'm here because a man threatened my family.

I didn't wanna talk about it.

But I'm afraid of losing my wife, of losing my children.

And I feel alone.

And I feel like I'm going to explode.

I have everything I've ever wanted.

I am running my own law firm.

I have the most beautiful wife and two children

that I would do anything for.

But no matter what I do, it's never enough.

I could be at home, I could be at work.

I get four hours of sleep at night.

And whichever thing I'm tending to,

it feels like I'm letting the other one down.

And that's why I'm here. I, uh...

a lawyer made fun of my family,

and I just snapped.

I don't believe this.

I open up to you, and you're laughing?

I'm not laughing.

I'm understanding.

How old are your kids?

What the hell does that have to do with it?

I'm guessing they're about five and two.

How'd you know that?

Because I felt the exact same way

when I was running my firm and my kids were that age.

Does it get better?

It does.

The truth is, the fact you feel that way

means you're not letting them down.

And I'm sure you're a wonderful father.

Thank you.

Might I ask what it is exactly you did when you

snapped at that other lawyer?

What anyone in my position would do.

I shoved my Little Louis down his throat.

You put your penis in his--

He means he punched him.

But I understand the misinterpretation.

What is there to misinterpret?

Little Louis-- small, thick, and hairy.

1 plus 1 equals 2.

- That tracks to me. - Peter gets it.

I think that's a great place to end the session.

I think there were better places to end the session.

Samantha, is everything okay?

Not a lot of people know this.

I had auditory processing issues as a child.

I didn't learn the same way as other kids.

So I got where I am by working harder than anyone.

And I'm not looking to give up an inch.

Why are you telling me this?

I just found out that Nicole Kidman is in play.

Erica Rollins is my main competition.

It's not like Erica to let someone see her coming.

If you're asking how I found out,

that's not the point.

The point is, you two were competitors.

And you wanna know how to beat her.

Erica can make you feel like you're the only person

in the world that matters.

She can do it like no one else.

That's why she can close like no one else.

You're saying if Erica gets Nicole in a room

before I talk to her, she's as good as gone?

I'm saying, if you wanna keep Nicole,

don't let Erica get in a room with her at all.

- Thanks, Rick. - Mm-hmm.

Leah, I was just about to call you.

Well, before you tell me why--

I have an idea.

If Ezra Bridger's script can be reworked

into a female lead Western, I can get--

Rick, Ezra's not looking for representation.

Please stop asking.

You figured out a way around your conflict

and signed him yourself.

- That's not-- - Leah, it's okay.

You believed in him before anyone else.

And the only way you can fight for someone

is if you really believe in them.

Rick...

I'm Ezra Bridger.

I used a fake name because I didn't

want you to know it was me.

But it turns out, I don't wanna be a writer.

And why are you telling me now?

Because you just talked about believing in someone

and fighting for them.

And I just realized the person I believe in

and wanna fight for is me.

Dylan, hey.

Thanks for coming in.

Can I get you anything? Water, coffee?

Rick, I can tell you're sugarcoating.

Just tell me.

I spoke with Melissa Johnson.

She said you can audition, but...

you're not getting the part.

Let me guess.

She said that I don't have what it takes.

Believe me, I did everything I could to try to convince her.

But she thinks I can't carry the weight.

Excuse me, Rick...

Your food's here.

They set it up in the small conference room.

Thanks, Sydney.

I have to work late tonight.

I ordered in.

What do you say we have dinner and figure out

what we're gonna do next?

Sure. Why not?

Rosalyn, do you need something?

Where'd you go earlier?

- For a walk. - You didn't go very far.

- What are you getting at? - You know what I'm getting at.

You walked across the courtyard

to warn Samantha about Nicole Kidman.

All I did was level the playing field.

That's lovely, except your job

is to tilt the field in our direction.

- Look, you don't understand. - Ted, I know your history.

And if you think I'm opposed to you making peace with Samantha,

I'm not.

Then what's the problem?

It's one thing to make peace

and another to undermine your own people.

And I'm getting tired of watching you

shoot yourself in the foot and pretending

like you're not the one holding the gun.

Hey, Eddie, why don't you grab a seat over there?

I didn't think you'd come.

I'm here for Eddie.

Because you're using him to get a lighter sentence.

And having the son that you abandoned

speak on your behalf is a new low, even for you.

He wanted to do it.

Because you asked him to.

But he doesn't know what kind of man you really are.

- Teddy. - Right there.

Calling me Teddy.

You named your firstborn son Edward Brooks,

and you wanted them to call him Teddy,

like they called you Teddy.

But you were ashamed of him.

Then I came along, and you named me Theodore

so they could call me Teddy.

You took his name away from him.

Eddie doesn't know that.

But I do.

You mind if I join you?

Please, sit.

I wanted to say I'm sorry.

Me too.

Can I ask you what'd the guy say about your family

that made you snap?

He called Alice a name.

I can't even tell you what-- it's too disturbing.

You'll never get it anyway.

It rhymes with "runt."

He did what? No wonder you punched him.

I'd have been furious if someone

called my daughter that.

Oh, Alice isn't my daughter.

Alice is my cat.

Well, that's a... slightly different situation.

How so?

Not important.

Hey, you wanna go grab a drink?

You wanna have a drink with me?

I do.

I have a better idea.

You and I are going to take mud together.

What do you mean, take mud?

There is nothing to be afraid of.

You simply let the mud seep into every orifice

of your body except your mouth, nose, and ears

but those too.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Well, unless you wanna take about 87 steps backwards,

we are doing this.

Taking mud it is.

Bathing suits are optional.

No, they're not.

I gotta know, where'd the name Angry Sylvester come from?

Ah, it's a long story,

but it was either that or Shivering Larry,

and Shivering Larry was taken.

By who?

My friend, Shivering Larry.

Can you help me name my penis?

Yeah, sure. I would say that it's a...

Smooth Bob.

Hey, I've been meaning to talk to you.

About what?

That Nicole Kidman had two feet out the door,

I tell you that, and all of a sudden,

she's staying with Samantha Railsback?

All I did was tell Samantha that Nicole was looking around.

What the hell is wrong with you?

The woman stole half your firm.

I did something to her years ago, and I still owe her.

And you didn't think that was something I needed to know?

No, I didn't, because it's personal.

Well, I've chosen this firm over my personal life

for years.

I didn't tell you to do that.

Don't you say that to me.

You told me to put the professional over personal

a thousand times in a million different ways.

Erica, what do you want me to say?

There's law, and there's life.

We were supposed to be partners.

We are partners. Come on.

No. No, we are not partners.

Partners share things with each other.

All you did was change the title on my business card.

And if you don't see that,

you might as well change it back.

You're not alone.

A few years ago, I was mugged at gunpoint.

Even worse, he then threatened my fiancée.

So I understand how you feel.

How'd you deal with it?

At first, I didn't know what to do.

In the end, there were two people

that got me through it.

But the one I went to when I first had to tell someone--

Your old partner.

- Yeah. - It's funny.

My old partner is the one I went to about this.

And he not only set this week up...

he saved my life from the guy who came after me.

Sounds like a hell of a friend.

He is.

Where you going? I thought we were mudding.

We'll mud later.

I want to call Harvey and tell him I miss him.

Wait. Is your guy Harvey Specter?

- Yes. - I know that guy.

- Don't say it. - He's a legend.

Son of a bitch.

Is there no place that I can get away from him?

You were just gonna go call him.

That's not the point.

All I'm saying is, my guy and your guy go way back.

And my guy thinks your guy's a superhero.

I need a day.

That guy needs more help than me.

Wait a second.

I thought your parents were wealthy.

No, my dad worked two jobs,

and my mom picked up shifts at a diner to help out.

And when they were home, they pretty much just fought.

And that's how I ended up in theater.

It was basically like after-school daycare.

- I had no idea. - Yeah, that's okay.

And it turned out, from that first rehearsal, I was hooked.

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.

What was the part?

Oliver Twist.

- Okay. - Mm-hmm.

That's what gets me.

You know, Melissa thinks that if I haven't lived it

that I can't do it.

Well, I was a 12-year-old girl from Florida

playing an orphaned boy in London,

and I knew nothing about his life.

But I knew what it was like to feel abandoned.

Okay, that's it.

You're auditioning for the McMurtry movie.

I thought Melissa said I would never get the part.

That's why you're gonna audition for somebody else.

Oh, really? Who?

That's a question for tomorrow.

Today's question is,

who gets the strawberry cupcake and who gets the red velvet?

No, I have always been a red velvet girl.

I guess that means I'll settle for the strawberry.

Wait a second.

You ordered two desserts?

Rick, did you plan this?

I did.

Why?

Because you're my client. You had a rough day.

And I want you to know that someone's on your side.

Erica, can I talk to you for a second?

Leah, I had a really long day.

I wanna just sit here and--

I'm sorry, but this can't wait.

We represent Tina Liu because of me.

We kept Brian Baumgartner because of me.

And you said it yourself,

we'd still have Dylan Pryor if you'd listened to me.

And my bonus doesn't reflect that.

I'm not changing your bonus, Leah.

- I don't want you to. - Then what do you want?

I want you to see me as a partner.

But you're not my partner,

because I give everything to this place, and you don't.

You're still not over me choosing

Katniss over Adam Driver.

It's not about you choosing Katniss over Adam Driver.

It is about you choosing Katniss over me.

I'm the only one who dedicates herself.

Well, maybe if you were a little more like me,

you'd be a little happier.

And for the record, you're not the only one

who chooses this firm over other things.

Other things like what?

Like letting go of my dream.

Because Rick offered to sign me as a writer,

but I turned him down because I'd rather be here.

And for what? I don't have an office.

I never interact with Ted.

I'm sick of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin.

And you say one thing about valuing me

but show me another, so--

Leah, if you wanna go be a writer,

then please just go be a writer.

I don't wanna be a writer.

I just needed to say all this to you.

And it would be nice if you actually heard it.

- Ted. - I want to apologize

for all the years that I demeaned what you did.

And I'm sorry that I called you a flea

in front of both of our firms.

We were--we're supposed to be partners, Stuart,

and partners don't do that to each other.

Well, I've been thinking all that means nothing

compared to you being there for me with Bowie.

Well, we're not just partners, Stuart.

We're brothers.

Ted...

Please tell me everything's gonna be okay with Bowie.

It is.

We have guns to each other's heads.

He'd be crazy to do anything.

He's violent, but he's not stupid.

I see it.

Thanks, Ted.

Come back soon, you idiot.

Hey, I'm using your credit card for incidentals.

Hello?

Edward Black, I understand you have a statement

you'd like to make on behalf of your father.

I do, Your Honor.

My dad hasn't always been the best dad.

But I know he loves me and my little brother.

Even though we're grown up now, we still need a dad.

He's sorry for what he did.

So please don't take my dad away for too long.

Mr. Brooks.

My son is right, Your Honor.

I haven't always been the best father.

But I do love both of my children.

And whatever sentence you see fit to give me here today,

when I get out, I'm gonna try to be the father

that my sons deserve.

In light of that and considering

your son's statement,

Edward Brooks, I sentence you

to three years in prison for stock manipulation.

You are to surrender yourself at noon on Thursday.

Got your message.

You wanted to see me? - I did.

Maybe you were right that I shouldn't have

spoken to Samantha.

But you were definitely right that I should have let you in.

I'm listening.

You don't know this,

but I had a brother

named Eddie.

And I loved him more than I can say.

Samantha loved him too.

You and Samantha were--

We were.

And our relationship ended

because I became

obsessed with a case.

And I got one of her clients killed.

And, um...

And I got my brother killed too.

Yesterday was-- it was the anniversary

of a very special day with Eddie,

and Samantha remembered.

And then I told you about Nicole Kidman,

and you couldn't let that happen

because there's work, and there's life.

I made the wrong choice back then, but--

You can learn from your mistakes.

What?

It's just, the universe has been trying

to get me to prioritize the personal.

And it's been two unexpected people delivering the message.

Me and who else?

The other form the universe chose

was none other than Leah Power.

Where's this going?

You know how you asked me to keep her over there?

No.

That ends today.

It can't.

I have a root canal today. - Ted.

Which reminds me, can you have Rosalyn schedule

a root canal for me today?

Whatever it is, I'll do it.

Three years is a long time.

It's actually on the lighter side for what Dad did.

Are you mad at me for helping Dad?

Eddie, I could never be mad at you.

Dad.

Eddie, thank you.

I like it when we're all together.

Yeah, so do I.

It reminds me of the day we went to the baseball game.

Yeah, well, when I get back, we can do it again.

Eddie, I'm gonna talk to Dad for a second, okay?

I'll meet you outside.

All right, look, I know what you're gonna say,

but please just...

Listen, hmm?

I know you hate me, but don't you wish I could change?

Of course I do.

Then give me a second chance.

I've been giving you second chances

since I was ten.

Teddy, facing prison changes you.

I have no one that cares about me in my life.

I don't wanna have no one when I get out.

I have tried to convince myself you could change

so many times.

And I'm just--

I'm out of times.

Wait. You're--you're right.

I was ashamed of Eddie.

I wish I hadn't been.

But that's the man my father taught me to be.

He was a hard man, and I felt about him

the way that you feel about me.

You're trying to be different from me.

Maybe you can help me be different from him.

What do you want from me?

I wanna take you and Eddie out to dinner one time

before I go away.

Okay.

One dinner.

Oh, sorry.

I--I didn't mean to interrupt.

I was--I was told to be here at this time.

You're not interrupting, Leah.

You were asked to be here

because this is your new office.

Am I dreaming?

No, I can't be,

because if I were dreaming, then I'd be naked,

this would be a meadow, and you'd be a different person.

I should have gotten that root canal.

- What? - You're not dreaming.

I know. We just went over that.

You made an impression on Erica.

She made an impression on me.

And this space is now yours.

What? - Nothing.

It's just that the windows are nicer

at the main part of the firm.

Are you kidding?

Of course. Of course I'm kidding.

I love small windows.

- Good. - Just one thing--

Leah, say another word and you will not have a desk.

Oh. - I love it.

Great. And I'm--I'm glad that I...

will know where to find you.

You're--you're gonna find me?

No.

He's totally gonna find me.

Rick, what's going on?

Samantha asked for my advice on how to beat Erica.

Wasn't hard to figure out you tipped her off

about Nicole Kidman.

Please don't tell me you have a problem with that too.

I don't.

In fact, I like the idea of us working together more.

You want me to do something for you, don't you?

I want you to do something for the both of us.

I hear you're about to attach Sean Baker to direct

the McMurtry adaptation.

And how exactly do you know that?

Oh, please.

Think I forgot all it takes to bribe Rosalyn

is a spa day at the Peninsula?

The woman has no willpower.

Ted, Dylan Pryor was born to star in this movie.

I need you to get her in front of Sean Baker.

Why aren't you asking me to get her

in front of Melissa Johnson?

Because you're the one that taught me

when you run into a roadblock, the only thing to do

is knock it off the goddamn road.

I did.

I did, in fact, teach you that.

I'm quite the mentor when you think about it.

Ted, if Sean sparks to her audition, we all win.

If not, I owe you one.

Yeah.

So will you do it?

No. We'll do it.

Rick, twice in two days.

And I see this time, you brought backup.

I'm not backup, Melissa.

I'm a Sherman tank, and you know it.

I don't care what you are.

I'm not casting Dylan Pryor in my movie.

Then it's not gonna be your movie much longer.

Get off my set.

We totally can, but...

maybe you forgot that Ted represents Sean Baker.

And what do you think is gonna happen when we tell

the studio that the guy who just won four Oscars

wants off this movie

because he's not getting what he wants?

And what he wants is Dylan Pryor.

Train is leaving the station, Melissa, so get on board

or get run over.

Fine.

If Sean wants her, he can have her.

That was kind of fun.

Vanquishing a foe is always fun.

Vanquishing?

- It means winning. - Yeah, I know what it means.

I also know you miss this.

- You know what I don't miss? - Hmm?

The sneakers and suit look.

What are you, 12?

I'm old enough to know that Grandpa Walton

wants his suspenders back.

Suspenders are classic, Rick.

If you were born in the 1800s.

Fine, I'm 1,000 and you're a toddler.

Do you churn your own butter?

Every damn day.

I have to say, it's everything

you said it would be.

And the prunie?

Working its magic as we speak.

One more thing, have you relaxed your rectum?

- My what, now? - Your rectum.

People with as much anger as us

tend to hold it in their rectum.

And it's imperative that you relax the rectum

so the mud can do its work.

Because as Mahatma Gandhi once said...

Whatever you're about to say, I'm 100% sure

Gandhi never said it.

True happiness springs from the rectum.

Please stop saying "rectum."

Well, I can stop saying it, but if you don't open

the basement door, your house of cards

will simply blow away in the earthquake.

What in God's name are you talking about?

Just do it.

I get it.

I knew you would.

Listen, I wanna tell you something.

Back in high school, I used to hear the popular kids

talk about being Federale friends.

What's that?

If you were ever thrown into a Mexican prison,

it's the kind of friend that you'd call

who'd drop everything to get you out.

I've only ever had one of those.

Harvey.

I'd like you to be the other.

But don't take it lightly.

If you accept, we are Federale friends for life.

I'd be honored.

Me too.

Gracias, mijo.

I don't speak French.

Hey, if Harvey's your Federale friend,

why did you get so upset

when I said he was friends with Ted?

Because I hit him.

I get it.

I have to say, this is beautiful,

even with your tiny windows.

Ted told you?

We're gonna have to work on how you interact with Ted.

Right.

Thank you so much, Erica.

You really heard me.

Leah, what did you mean when you said

you were sick of being uncomfortable in your own skin?

Well, for one, I couldn't even put my own name

on the scripts I gave to Rick.

I--I was afraid of what he'd say.

So I hid who I was.

And it's been going on too long.

What do you--

Leah Power is not the name I was born with.

When I was little, kids would make fun of me

because my last name was different.

And that became how I saw myself.

So as soon as I turned 18, I changed my name to Power.

Because you wanted to feel strong.

Because I wanted to fit in.

My parents used to watch old episodes of this show

called "Hart to Hart," and my favorite character

was Jennifer Hart.

She was an American queen,

and I wanted to be just like her.

And the woman who played her was Stefanie Powers.

Powers?

Oh, I didn't like the S. Let it go.

Anyway, I thought I was over all that.

But then when I went to put Leah Power on my scripts,

Ezra Bridger came out.

And I don't wanna be afraid of being myself anymore.

Well, for what it's worth, I don't see you that way.

Well, what the hell do you know?

I was trying something. - No.

Anyways, what do you say

we have a drink in my new office?

Why don't you go ahead and pour?

Leah, what is your real last name, anyway?

Ho. Leah Ho.

Tough name for the middle school years.

You have no idea.

You looking to change it back?

Not at this time.

To Leah Ho.

I said not at this time.

Did you give Leah the office?

I did.

Was it fun?

It was.

Don't tell her.

- Thank you. - For what?

For always looking out for me with everyone around here.

Well, you've always looked out for me.

Aren't I supposed to do the same?

You are.

And you do.

Is that for me?

Depends.

Do I get an office too?

You know, I wasn't really thirsty anyway.

Oh, you.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I had my audition with Sean Baker.

Knocked it out of the park.

He wants to cast me.

Dylan, that is so awesome.

I knew you could do it. I knew it.

Thank you.

But I never would have had the chance

if it wasn't for you.

Well, let's face it.

I am the best.

We have a problem.

What's the problem?

I came here because two seconds

after Sean told me that I was his choice,

I wanted to celebrate.

Okay.

And the person that I wanna celebrate with is you.

Me?

I mean, I like celebrating.

Some of my best friends are celebrations.

Did you have a place in mind that--

♪ When there's no one to hold you ♪

♪ I will still hold you down

Dylan, I--

♪ Be the last ones dancing

♪ In the faceless crowd

Sorry, I can't.

♪ When there's no one to hold you ♪

♪ I will still hold you down

♪ I'll hold you down

♪ Any time that you will fall ♪

♪ I'll be there to pick you up ♪

♪ Yeah, I'll hold you down

♪ We'll be the last ones dancing ♪

♪ When the lights go out

♪ When there's no one to hold you ♪

Aaron. Aaron!
