Original subtitles

Where have you been? I've been looking for you.

If you must know, I overslept.

I'd love to go out again. Is tonight too soon?

Let me check my calendar... Yep, I'm free.

You will not determine the type of lawyer I want to be.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means I'm willing to say I owe you one.

Make an enemy of me... or not.

That's the best you're going to get.

I never sent the documents over.

You shitting me? It's my fault.

I'll take the bullet. They're not gonna give a shit

whose fault this is. You must be out of your mind.

Scottie, I'm in trouble here.

I need you to help me. I'm sorry, Harvey,

but I've said yes to you to many times.

A year after I stopped with my therapist,

I started seeing her. I'm guessing

it didn't work out. It was complicated.

Did Donna have anything to do with that complication?

Still drinking sidewalk coffee, I see.

That's because it's the best in the city.

Don't know about that, but their croissants are good.

When do you cross town for a croissant?

I had a meeting nearby and wanted one.

I'd ask you how you are,

but I saw the announcement in the Journal.

Louis as Managing Partner. How?

If I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

Have anything to do with the two new names on the wall?

One I've never heard of before.

Just because you never heard of her

doesn't mean she's not a badass.

What's that mean? The type of work

that Samantha Wheeler did

before she got her name on the wall

didn't show up in the Journal.

Get to why you're here.

This is no chance encounter.

I had a meeting nearby. I think that meeting's with me

because I bet you have a case against us.

Well, I'm sorry, Scottie,

I'm not gonna let you get in my head.

We both know if I wanted to,

I could live in your head rent-free.

It makes you feel any better, I don't have a case against you.

Well, it's good to see you though.

Maybe next time it won't be by chance?

Katrina.

Samantha, are you having a nice...

Mind if we skip the chitchat?

I'd like nothing more. Great.

I need your help with something.

With what? With getting out of a deal

I negotiated for a mobile payment app

with our client's credit card provider.

But this is a three-year deal

and you're only three months in.

That's what makes it fun. Let me get this straight.

You want out of this contract,

you don't have any legal grounds to do it.

You think I can fix your problem for you?

If I can find a reason to pay into a trust

instead of to them directly, then we can squeeze,

make them take a buyout. If you already have that idea,

why come to me? I need precedent,

and legal minutia is one of your specialties.

In other words, I owe you. You sure do.

Better come up with something fast,

because I need something by noon. Noon? Why noon?

Because I already started paying into

that trust yesterday, and their douche bag attorney

moved the hearing up to today.

Unless you want to owe me twice,

stop asking me questions and start getting me some answers.

Harvey, you needed to see me?

I need to know what case I got

coming up against Scottie.

As far as I know, you don't have any cases

pending against Scottie. Then look again,

because I just ran into her at the coffee cart.

There's no way that was a coincidence.

I don't know, Harvey. The Scottie I remember

would never come at you from the side like that.

I thought the point was you two enjoyed

attacking each other directly.

Well, things change.

It looks like she's operating out of a new playbook.

If she is coming after us, we need to be prepared.

Why don't you drop what you're doing

and figure out what case she's got against us.

Consider it dropped.

Hey, Doc, listen, before we get going,

I may need an hour and 15...

Holy shit, what's wrong?

Nothing, Louis,

but I'm afraid I'm going to have to postpone our session.

Are you okay? If you need something,

there isn't anything I wouldn't...

I'm fine, Louis. It's a personal issue.

I would rather not discuss it.

I've known you years. I've never seen that look.

Me walking out without knowing

what's going on isn't gonna happen.

Then if you must know,

it's a legal matter.

What kind of legal matter?

I don't want to talk about it.

That's too bad. I can't represent you

if you don't tell me what happened.

Louis, it's out of the question.

My personal life has nothing to do with you.

Nothing to do... Stan, don't you get it?

I care about you. I'm a lawyer.

If you're in some trouble... Louis, please.

This is not that serious.

Just not every day I'm served with papers.

So if you will be so kind as to reschedule,

I would greatly appreciate it.

Okay, Stan.

I'll see you next week.

Mr. Kendrick, I'd like to thank you for sitting down with us.

Your situation's been difficult.

The situation is my wife died.

Difficult doesn't cover it. Of course not.

Can we just get on with it?

We made a few amendments to your offer.

As you can see, I've red-lined the sections...

Hang on. This says we admit it was our fault.

- It was your fault. - It wasn't.

Tragic as this death was, we're under no obligation to pay.

- Why are you? - It doesn't matter.

I'm not admitting something that isn't true.

Tony... No, my machines regulate

insulin better than any human.

I've dedicated my life to helping people.

I'm not gonna let them say I didn't.

Well, I dedicated my life to caring for my wife.

She's dead now because of your machine.

There's no need for hostility,

so let's calm down, go back to the offer...

Think I care about your offer?

No amount is going to bring my wife back.

I care about preventing this from happening

to someone else, and that means

making you take responsibility. Mr. Kendrick...

That's enough. A woman is dead

because of your client's product.

If he won't admit it, we'll make a jury admit it for him.

This is our final offer. Take it.

Or we'll see you in court.

Ms. Wheeler, looks like you're going to get to pay

into that trust after all, because if they're not here

- in the next two minutes... - Sorry.

I had a last-minute snafu.

I thought Larry Samuels was on this.

He was, but Larry's who they call when they don't need me.

Dana Scott.

Heard a lot about you. Have you now?

I actually used to work at your firm

back when there were three names on the wall.

Now there's so many it's hard to keep track.

Well, after this, you'll keep track just fine.

Because you haven't lived up to your obligations,

and according to these six precedents,

we have the right to nullify this entire deal.

You don't have the right to do anything.

You're in violation.

Paying into a trust isn't a violation.

No, but meeting with the competition is.

Don't know what you're talking about.

You didn't know I'd find out.

That snafu, Your Honor, was waiting on confirmation

that Samantha Wheeler

has engaged in a pattern of dirty tricks,

unethical behavior, and borderline illegal activity

all in the name of "representing" her clients.

You're gonna say that about me,

better damn well be able to back it up,

which you can't.

Here are three of Ms. Wheeler's old cases,

and then you'll find payments forced,

settlements withheld, and meetings with the competition

just like she did last week.

How the hell did you get those?

Doesn't like you're denying.

Did you meet with the competition last week?

Your Honor, my past cases have no relevance here.

No, but your answers to my questions do.

Did you meet with them?

Yes, but...

You came into my chambers ready to lie

and cheat and God knows what else,

so you are going to dissolve that trust,

you're gonna pay her client the money you owe them,

and I don't ever want to see you

in my chambers on this case again.

All right, Tony, it's just you and me now.

Tell me you're 100 percent sure this wasn't your machine.

Have anyone in the world test my machines,

every reports gonna say the same thing.

That woman's death wasn't our fault.

Then what else could have caused it?

You heard that man. We're going to trial.

This doesn't have to go to trial, and you know it.

Just like we both know what caused her death.

Shit. Yeah, I know.

It was him, and we're gonna have to prove it.

The question is

when the time comes, are you gonna have the stomach

to do what needs to be done?

- No, not right now, Donna. - I'm in the middle of something.

I'm in the middle of something for Harvey.

These quarterly reports aren't gonna sign themselves.

Well, put them right over there.

"Boyd versus Lipschitz"?

Lipschitz as in Dr. Lipschitz? Yes.

He's being sued, and he tried to make it like it was nothing,

but I pulled his legal filing and...

It's not nothing. No, it's not.

One of his patients is a construction foreman,

had a meltdown at work, there was an accident,

put someone in a coma, and now he claims

it only happened because Lipschitz

prescribed the wrong meds. My God.

Gets worse. Instead of coming to me, he went to Dick Corman.

They lose this case, he could lose his license.

Are you talking about trying to convince Lipschitz

to let you represent him? Yes, you're gonna tell me

it's a bad idea. It's not.

If someone I cared about was in a similar situation,

wild horses wouldn't stop me from trying to protect them.

How could I not support you?

You mean that? Of course I do.

What do you say you help me figure out a way

to convince Stan to let me take his case.

Samantha, how'd it go? I'll tell you how it went.

I got my ass handed to me.

They found out about our meeting with their rival.

What meeting? You didn't tell me about any meeting.

I didn't tell anyone.

There's no way they could have found out

unless they put someone in their competitor's office.

I don't know. That sounds kind of extreme.

No, Katrina, it sounds shady, and in my experience,

the other side only does something like that

when they have done something even shadier.

They're hiding something, and you're gonna find it.

No, we're gonna find it. Because there's no way in hell

I'm gonna let Dana Scott get the better of me.

Wait, who? Dana Scott.

I know she used to work here or something.

She didn't just work here. What does that mean?

I'm not sure it's really my place to...

Katrina, do I have to say it again?

You owe me.

She and Harvey were together,

so if she knows things she shouldn't,

he's the first place I'd look.

Hey, Harvey.

Dick over any of your partners lately?

Nice weather we're having.

Did you hear what I said? I ignored it.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

The name Dana Scott ring any bells?

You just helped her make me look like a sleazebag

in front of a judge. Slow your roll, Tiger.

I didn't help her. All I said was

"You're a badass and sometimes..."

Sometimes what? I work in the gray?

Because she used that against me.

I did give her that, but I didn't do it to help her.

Well, whether you meant to help her or not, you did.

So how about leveling the field and helping the home team?

No way. I'm not getting involved.

Why not? It'll just make her

want to win all the more.

So you're that kind of guy.

What kind of guy?

Handsome, powerful men... Goes one of two ways.

You either want a woman who doesn't challenge you at all

or you want one who challenges you all the time.

I'm sorry, I stopped listening after

the handsome and powerful part.

The thing is, Harvey,

with someone who challenges you all the time,

there's always unfinished business.

This is your chance to finish it.

No, Samantha, this is just a chance to rip open an old scar,

and I'm not doing it.

Well, she just ripped me open,

and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to return the favor.

You don't want to help me, don't,

but you sure as hell better stop helping her.

Katrina. Harvey.

What are you doing in here? Just having a coffee.

No, you're here because you know

I'm working with Samantha in her office.

You don't want her to hear what you have to say.

What if I don't? You gonna tell her about this?

I guess that depends on exactly what it is you want.

I want to know if there's a deal to be had here.

I don't know. Right now, Samantha is so pissed.

Don't think she'd take anything less than an outright win.

Samantha won't stop looking for leverage

until she finds something that gives her the upper hand.

Pretty much, yeah.

Tell me this...

what would a compromise look like?

Louis, what are you doing?

I'm not leaving until you sign this engagement letter.

I told you, I have the matter handled.

By Dick Corman

who couldn't handle his way out of a paper bag.

You let me do this or you tell me what's going on,

but I'm a better lawyer than this guy.

Louis, please. Don't you believe

that I'm great at what I do?

If I thought you didn't think that,

I wouldn't have seen you all these years.

I do believe you're great at what you do,

but you overreact. Particularly when it involves

people you care about.

Damn it, Stan, your career is on the line.

You hire me, you have my word that won't happen.

I am well aware my career is on the line, Louis.

It is all I can think about.

Well, then think about this.

How many times have you told me that I get in my own way?

Well, now you're getting in yours,

because I am the best man for this job

and deep down you know it.

Okay, Louis, you can represent me,

but under one condition.

I just told you I'll keep myself in check.

No, Louis. One other condition.

Thanks, Bill. Who's Bill?

Just one of my many lovers calling to say hi.

Or your doorman calling to say he's got your dry cleaning.

Why can't he be both? Now why don't you tell me

what you're doing in enemy territory.

See, that's the thing, Scottie.

You're an opponent. You're not an enemy.

I don't want to see you get hurt.

What is that? A way out.

We buy your client at a fair price,

they make a fortune, everybody comes out ahead.

I win the championship.

You want me to share the trophy?

You didn't win anything yet,

and she's not letting this go. So what?

You two are on a collision course,

and it isn't gonna be pretty. I didn't pick this fight.

You escalated it by using information you got from me

to go personal against my partner.

I did what I had to do on behalf of my client.

Samantha's gonna do what she has to

and trust me, what she's willing to do

isn't something you want a piece of.

Does she even know about this?

I should have known. Get out of my office, Harvey.

I don't believe this.

You lie to my face about taking a case against me,

and now you're upset that I don't have.

Samantha's approval before coming over here?

I said I didn't have a case against you, not her.

Now you do have a case against me

whether you like it or not. I gave you that offer,

which means you have to present it to your client.

You are not one of the attorneys listed.

I do not have to present anything,

if I did, I can tell you what they'd say.

"Go to hell." Scottie...

Thank you for the warning, Harvey,

but I'm doing just fine.

Okay, have it your way, but don't come crying to me

when she figures out how to turn the tables.

Hello?

Samantha, it's Dana Scott.

Dana, to what do I owe the pleasure?

Look, we got off on the wrong foot today.

You obviously don't want to be in business with us anymore,

so I came up with a compromise. I'm listening.

You honor your contract for the next 18 months

and reduce your fees every quarter after that,

and we won't enforce our exclusivity clause.

I get it. You get to keep your revenue stream

so your earnings don't take a hit,

and we get to quietly pursue a new partnership.

Plus, you save the backlash from me telling the judge

that you're still working on this, like I know you are.

I gotta say... it's a pretty good move.

And under other circumstances, you'd have yourself a deal.

What other circumstances? One where there wasn't

more going on than meets the eye.

There's nothing else going on here.

Save it. You're coming to me

with a compromise when you have me?

You did something here, and I'm gonna find it.

What makes you think I won't find more?

It took me barely an hour to find what I already did.

I think playing dirty isn't your specialty.

You took a walk on the wild side,

and turns out you fucked with the wrong marine.

Listen to me... Sorry, Dana.

I'm done listening

because I got to get back to looking.

Gretchen, need something?

The report on that diabetes machine came in.

Why are you bringing me this?

I know you're gonna use it to attack that husband.

If you're here to tell me not to go after him,

I'm already twisted up about it.

As someone whose husband died of diabetes,

I'm telling you do what you have to do.

Your husband died of diabetes?

He did. And that man is grieving.

He's looking for an answer, and I can't blame him,

but without machines like that one,

my Carl wouldn't have lived as long as he did.

Hey, how did you even know about this case?

Well, we never really discussed the client you lost

because of me. We didn't need to.

They never should have asked me to let you go,

and I never would have done it.

All the same, I never thanked you

'cause I didn't know how.

So you were keeping tabs on my cases

waiting for a way to help.

I know it really isn't helping, but...

You just showed me it was okay to do something

I never thought I'd have to do.

If that isn't help, I don't know what is.

Thanks, Alex.

All right, we've been at this for hours.

It's getting us nowhere.

We need to shake down some employees.

That's well and good, but if we don't know

what to ask, we're not going to get answers. Yes, we will.

They don't know what we don't know.

They don't know what we don't know.

Yeah, that's what I just said.

No, I'm saying according to this report

their accounts are growing by 200 percent a month.

Wait a second, if that's true, why are they

clinging to this deal like a life raft?

Maybe they're not really growing by 200 percent a month.

Look.

February...

5 million new users,

but 60 percent didn't meet the transaction threshold,

parsing a likelihood of the fact...

Katrina, English.

Sixty percent of these card holders

don't even seem to know they have the cards.

Holy shit.

The people are real, but the accounts are fake.

This isn't just shady, this is the type of shit

that lands someone in prison.

Wait till the judge sees this. The judge?

Why don't you just leverage them into letting us out?

I have the upper hand now.

I'm not giving her a chance to get it back.

If she has anything to do with this, it would ruin her.

If she didn't want to be ruined,

she shouldn't have gotten involved in this,

and she damn sure shouldn't have fucked with me.

I want everything you have ready for court in 36 hours.

Scottie, what are you doing here?

I need to know if Samantha Wheeler

is really the attack dog Harvey says she is.

I heard about you tricking Harvey

into giving you information.

I'm not gonna let you do the same to me.

This is not about tricking you.

This is about me staying out of prison.

What?

Please.

My clients have been creating fake accounts.

I found out, and I've been helping them cover it up.

How could you... I know.

I put a stop to it, but if I can buy them some time,

they can dig themselves out,

and hundreds of good people can keep their jobs.

Scottie, what exactly are you here to ask me?

I want you to convince Harvey

to make Samantha honor that contract.

Are you crazy?

With a company that's committed fraud?

They're making up for the fake accounts,

but they lose their contract, they go under,

and everything comes out.

Okay, let's say that I believe you.

Why are you coming to me and not Harvey?

He came to me with a deal.

I told him to go to hell. Why?

If we take that deal, they open up the books

and everything comes out.

Harvey's gonna find out one way or the other,

and you want me to tell him

instead of telling him yourself.

What the hell is really going on?

Okay, fine, you want the truth?

I'm ashamed of what I did,

and maybe I wouldn't have done it

if it didn't save those jobs, but maybe I would have...

because I signed that company.

I put my ass on the line for them,

and I wasn't going to let them fail.

If that's the case, Harvey would definitely understand.

He's done the same thing himself.

Maybe he would, but I need him to do this,

and let's face it. For a long time,

you've had a lot more sway over him than me.

I convince him to help you.

From now on, you steer clear of our firm.

You mean steer clear of Harvey.

I said what I meant, Scottie.

Yes or no?

Mr. Grant, you have a moment? Actually, no.

I don't care. My name is Louis Litt,

and I'm representing Dr. Stanley Lipschitz.

I thought Dick... You thought you got lucky

and Dick was handling this.

The big dogs are here.

They better be here with a big, fat settlement.

My client lost his livelihood due to your client's mistake.

Your client lost his livelihood

because he had a manic episode.

I have 50 years of precedent that says you cannot blame

a doctor for reasonably prescribing medication.

Normally, I would walk in and say

I've got you by the balls, squeeze tighter

until you beg for mercy, but I'm not gonna do that.

No? No. I'm gonna offer you

a reasonable settlement you're gonna take.

There's not one person on the planet

that believes my client was at fault here.

Actually, there is one person.

And he just happens to be the leading expert in the field.

You're gonna take whatever you're offer was

and add two more zeroes, because I got you, asshole,

and that testimony proves it. It proves nothing.

When I get through with your so-called expert,

the jury's gonna see a quack who is willing

to sell his testimony to the highest bidder.

I'll see you in court.

Mr. Kendrick, did your wife

manage her insulin levels all by herself?

No, her doctor set her base levels,

and I monitored her daily needs.

Isn't it true you recently changed

the brand of cartridge you used? Yes.

We tried the newest one,

that your machine said it would accommodate.

It does, but it also requires

the overnight dosage time to be manually set by the user.

Who did that? I did.

I set the machine for 2 a.m. like always.

Why did the machine not deliver the dosage

until 3 a.m.? I don't know.

Why don't you ask your client? I have.

I've also asked an expert third party to check the machine.

They both said it was working fine,

yet that dose wasn't delivered until 3.

Is there a question? Yes.

Is it possible, Mr. Kendrick,

that you set the machine for 3 a.m.?

No, absolutely not. How can you be sure?

Because I double-checked the time.

I always double-check. It said 2.

When did you double-check? Right before bed.

What time was that? I don't remember...

You don't remember the time,

but you remember checking the machine.

Yes, I do, and it was probably around 10.

So it was late. You were tired.

That doesn't mean... You could make a mistake?

Why not? Because you're perfect?

You're a computer? A machine?

That's not fair! No, what's not fair

is you blaming my client for your mistake.

There are only two factors here...

That machine and you.

When I present all this plus the fact

there is no instance of our machine ever failing,

if the jury finds in your favor,

the judge will throw it out as a matter of law.

I checked that time. I see it in my mind,

and you are never going to tell me different.

How low can you be to pin this on him?

Don't give me that. My client started this company

because his own family needed it.

The world's a better place because he did.

We gave you an offer. It still stands.

I'd advise your client to take it.

Harvey, we need to talk about Scottie.

No, we don't. Yeah, we do,

because this isn't just the usual case of you two

screwing each other over for fun. She's... I know.

She's involved in some shady shit.

You know? How?

Doesn't matter how.

What are you gonna do about it?

I'm not gonna do anything about it.

She had every chance to ask for help,

she didn't, and when I came to her with a deal,

she told me to go to hell.

If she took that deal, it would all come out.

Well, it's all gonna come out now anyway.

I don't believe this.

What is wrong with you?

She's only in this mess because

she tried to save people's jobs,

and you might have done the same thing.

Why are you even defending her?

Why shouldn't I? You've always been...

Been what?

Afraid to say it?

Yeah, that's not a surprise.

Well, Harvey, believe it or not,

I care about her.

Every time we've ever needed her she's been there for us.

Not last year with Stanley Gordon.

Maybe not every time,

but when it was you on the line or Mike,

she was there. In case you forgot,

you did the same thing with Teddy Doyle,

and not a week ago you came to me to save your ass

just like she did this morning.

You two are peas in a pod, you always have been.

And for a guy who says loyalty is a two-way street...

you sure as hell aren't acting like it.

Because we aren't two peas in a pod.

She's supposed to be better than me.

Harvey. Donna, she did this.

She didn't even tell me about it.

I'm supposed to make my new partner,

who I unknowingly sold out,

take it easy... on the person I sold her out to.

And I understand all that, but if it were me,

I'd get Samantha to back off anyway.

Gretchen, can I talk to you for a second?

About what?

About how it went with our plaintiff today.

Of course, what happened?

I hammered him again and again.

It didn't matter. He stuck to his story,

said he didn't care what I said

or the machine or that report said.

He checked the time, and it was 2 a.m.

What are you looking for me to tell you?

You made a mistake with me

you never thought you could make.

I guess I'm looking for you to say

the same thing must have happened here.

I can't tell you that. Why not?

Because I never followed up with that messenger.

That was my mistake, never following up.

But he's saying that he did follow up,

and if that's the case,

you painted that man as guilty when he wasn't.

And all that bullshit I said

about it being worth it goes out the window.

All right.

I need some time to think. No.

You need someone to help you sort through this mess

and figure out what's going on here.

Alex, what are you doing?

Couldn't wait till tomorrow to bill me?

I wish that's why I was here, Tony.

But something James said didn't sit right with me,

so... I went back through everything,

and I found this. What is that?

Turns out the software update on those new cartridges,

the ones James used...

Glitched for exactly 12 minutes between 943 and 955.

The exact window which I suspect

Anne Kendrick's machine reset.

Fuck.

Tony, I've got to ask. Did you know about this?

You know me a long time, Alex.

How can you accuse me of that?

I'm not accusing you of anything,

but I need the truth. The truth is I didn't know about

this until eight second ago.

If you hadn't looked where you shouldn't,

you wouldn't. What does that mean?

I need you to pretend you never saw this.

Tony, a woman is dead.

This isn't gonna bring her back,

and she was the only person harmed.

No. Her husband lost his wife.

I told him he killed her, so you can keep making this machine.

I don't keep making this machine,

how many people are gonna die?

I shouldn't have to remind you

we don't make sunglasses.

It's my duty to hand this over.

Then back up a truck full of documents and bury it,

because your duty doesn't include your guilt

putting my company out of business.

So you're telling me they did not accept our settlement?

Yes, and before you ask, I did not overreact.

They bought themselves a so-called expert that's saying

you should have known better

than to change that prescription.

What? Stan, trust me.

It happens all the time. Now the next step...

Who do they have?

Some joker named Paul Baxter,

I'll admit his credentials look good on paper,

but when I get him on the stand...

Louis, I know this man.

His opinion is not for sale,

and I will not let you ruin his reputation,

because if he's saying I caused this...

He's not saying it. They're pushing him to say it.

And I just told you

they couldn't push him to say anything.

What if I misprescribed, Louis?

What if I am truly responsible for my own patient's breakdown?

And if a jury decides that, so be it.

You're the one who told me a thousand times

it's not an exact science, right?

Craig Boyd is unstable. Could have had a bad day

or a fight with his mother or a thousand other things

that could have caused this,

but we are not going down without a fight.

Okay, Louis.

Do what you must. Put Dr. Baxter on the stand.

Good, and I'm putting Craig Boyd up there too.

What? Louis, you can't do that. He's my patient.

If we don't get you out of this,

no one's gonna be your patient.

Louis, let's say you're correct.

That he broke down for another reason.

What do you think will happen

when you go after him on the stand?

Hopefully, he'll have a breakdown

which will show the first one

had nothing to do with medication.

That is not something I can hope for.

I did what you asked with his lawyer.

I wasn't myself.

But you can't ask me to not do everything I can

to get you out of this. It's him or you.

Then let it be him

because if he were to hurt himself or,

God forbid, worse, I could not live with that.

Stan... Louis, this is my final word.

So if you insist on going after Craig,

I will find another lawyer.

Harvey, whatever it is, it'll have to wait.

I'm busy preparing. I know what you're preparing.

And I know instead of going to the judge,

you could go to Scottie with this.

She came to you, didn't she?

Because she was in on this thing.

I didn't say that. You didn't have to.

The settlement says it loud and clear.

Look... No.

I've got proof of fraud.

You're here to get me to let them off the hook.

I'm here to get you to let her off the hook.

Why should I do that? Because you used to sleep with her?

She did it for the right reasons

just like when you buried evidence.

You said you did it for the right reasons,

You told me you'd do it again.

That was to save an innocent woman's life.

This is to save innocent peoples' jobs.

I'm not gonna let you do this to Scottie.

This is my case.

You told me you didn't want anything to do with it.

You want me to sell my client down the river.

I'm not asking you to sell anyone down the river.

I'm asking you to have her back.

This isn't about me having her back.

It's about you having mine.

And you didn't when you told her about me,

you didn't when I came to you for help,

and you don't have it right now.

Maybe I didn't have your back,

but on this one I can't.

Guess I'm saying if you're not willing to have her back,

think of it as having mine.

Donna, can I talk to you a second?

Does this have something to do with Lipschitz?

Yeah.

I have an idea, but it involves

going to his patient behind his back,

threatening to put him on the stand.

Why can't you put him on the stand?

Lipschitz won't let me,

and if he found out I even met with him,

could ruin our relationship.

Then don't do it. But if I don't, Donna,

then he'll probably lose his license.

And as hard as that is to accept,

it's his choice.

So I say if you really care about him,

you need to stop representing him and start being his friend.

I'm not sure if I can do that.

I hope you can.

Louis. Yeah.

As long as we're talking about mixing the personal

with the professional, there's...

something that's been on my mind,

and I haven't told you and it's time that I did.

What is it?

Thomas Kessler and I have been seeing each other,

and I know he's a client... Say no more, Donna.

Thomas is a good man, and as far as I'm concerned,

if you two are okay with seeing each other

while he's a client, then I'm okay too.

Thanks, Louis. Of course, Donna.

I just have one question.

Have you told Harvey yet?

No, I haven't,

but I will.

I should've known.

You did all this. You went to him, didn't you?

Yes, I did. Goddamn it.

I came to you to help me.

You came to me because I kick ass as an attorney.

In case you didn't notice, you wouldn't be

making a decision if it weren't for me.

In case you didn't notice,

I have already made my decision.

I don't give a shit what Harvey says.

We're in the fourth quarter, up by 10,

I am not taking my foot off the gas.

What the hell is wrong with you?

You have a chance to let someone keep their life

and still get a win.

Is revenge that important? It's not revenge.

It's protection. From what?

She went after me in public.

Tried to expose me as... As what?

Exactly who you are? Well, here's a thought.

If you don't want to be exposed at that,

maybe try not being that in the first place.

I can't change who I was. No, but you can start

turning it around right now.

And at the same time, you'll have Harvey owe you

and Scottie owe you.

What good does it do to have those people owe me

if they're just gonna be like you

and not pay up when the time comes?

I am paid up.

You just don't get that because owing you

doesn't mean doing whatever you say.

I am a senior partner, and I have done everything I can

to help you come out a winner in this.

If you can't see that, that's on you.

I'll just say you're welcome and leave it at that.

Gretchen, not now.

Yes, now.

You put in a request for 50,000 documents

to be delivered tonight. I don't wanna talk about it.

Yes, you do or you wouldn't have had

the request specifically take priority over...

I didn't... Don't bullshit me.

You did that because you don't like what's going on

and you wanted me to talk you out of it.

There is no talking me out of it.

We'll just have to see about that.

It doesn't take a genius to guess

you don't need that many copies

unless you're trying to hide something.

Maybe I wanted you to talk me out of it.

It's too late. They're already gone.

They may be gone, but it's never too late.

Gretchen... No, imagine it was me.

Imagine you were letting me think I killed my Carl.

Would it still be too late then?

Can I help you? Hi, I'm Louis Litt.

I'm... I know who are you.

You're the guy representing Dr. Lipschitz,

which means you can't see me without my lawyer here.

Except I'm not here as his attorney.

I'm here as one of his patients.

What? Yeah.

I've been seeing Stan for a very long time,

which is why I know how valuable

having someone like him in the world is

and how much he's probably helped you.

You don't know nothing about me. No, I don't.

But I know about me and the thing about me

is I'd do anything to blame others before I blame myself.

And if you think that's what I'm doing,

then you can go to hell... What I think

is you're protecting yourself, but what you don't know is

Stanley Lipschitz is protecting you too.

What?

I could put you on the stand now

and I can break you. Look at me.

I can do it in a heartbeat, but he won't let me do that

because of what it would do to you

even if it means losing his ability to help others.

Isn't that proof enough that the world's a better place

with Dr. Stanley Lipschitz doing what he does best?

I lost everything. I have no job.

If I walk away from this, what am I gonna do?

Two things. First, you meet me in my office tomorrow.

I represent the top construction firms

in the country, and we will find you another job.

And then? You call Dr. Lipschitz.

You set up an appointment,

and you start talking this through...

because you need him now more than ever.

Get the hell off my driveway. I get it.

You hate me, but I was doing my job.

It wasn't personal.

You accused me of killing my wife.

Felt pretty goddamn personal to me.

Tell me what the hell you're doing here.

There's a truckload of files on the way to your lawyer.

I was just gonna let them go and... needle in a haystack,

but I couldn't.

So I made a second copy of one file,

and I'm here to give it to you.

Why are you giving it to me and not my lawyer?

This is the one that says

there was a problem with our software.

So you lied to my face.

We didn't lie. We didn't know.

Bullshit. It's not bullshit.

Tony offered that deal when he believed

his company had nothing to do with this.

You're not here to give me this.

You're here to ask me to go easy on him.

No, James. I'm here because in my heart.

You had nothing to do with your wife's death,

and I'm sorry I ever said otherwise.

What happened was one in a million thing,

and I also know if this comes out,

more people are going to die, not less.

I know you're a good man.

Please don't put an end to this company.

Scottie, please tell me it all worked out.

It did.

Samantha came to me with a deal,

nothing comes out, we all live to fight another day.

Well, that's great news.

Listen, if I came across as judging you, I...

You didn't. You came through for me, so...

thank you.

But?

Why did you do it?

Why did you help me?

There are a lot of things that we're at odds

with each other about, Scottie, but...

the one thing we've always had in common

is that we both care about him.

And you've always protected him.

That means something.

I called to tell you that

I'm going to live up to my agreement.

From now on, I'll stay away from him.

I told you that's not what I meant.

I know, but I'm going to anyway.

And, Donna... I hope someday he sees what everyone sees.

I'm guessing somebody got a call from Craig.

I did, Louis. Going to him

as a patient instead of as my attorney

was a wonderful idea.

I can't thank you enough.

However, there is still one thing we must discuss.

Yeah, if this is about payment,

you can reinstate my weekend texting privileges

and we'll call it even. You know that's not

what I was going to say.

You agreed that once this was over,

I would no longer be your therapist.

I am calling to discuss our transition.

No, I don't accept that.

Louis, you know too much

for me to effectively continue as your therapist.

Well, pardon my French, Stan, but that is bullshit.

Our best breakthroughs were made

by you sharing your personal life with me.

And those were wonderful sessions,

but, Louis, you agreed. No, I don't care.

Louis. Stan,

Even three years ago,

I would have gone behind your back,

threatened to put Craig on the stand,

and God knows what he might have done to himself,

but because of you I went to him with compassion.

If that isn't proof showing me your human side is effective,

Stan, I don't know what is.

Weekend texting will never return,

but I can try to answer your e-mails

in a more timely fashion.

Thank you, Stan. No, Louis, thank you.

Well?

He asked for twice the money so he can set up

a foundation in his wife's name,

but he agreed to keep the settlement sealed.

What about Tony? He figure out what you did?

He did. What'd you tell him?

What I should have told him in the first place.

That what he asked wasn't right by me, James, or anyone else,

and if you ever ask me to do anything like it again,

he can find himself another lawyer.

He's lucky to have you.

And I'm lucky to have you.

Are you hitting on me? No,

but I am inviting you to dinner tomorrow night.

I could invite my father-in-law too.

He's a widower.

Not bad-looking... if you ask him.

And I will tell you what I told Carl.

After he's gone, there won't be any other men.

He didn't believe me either.

See you tomorrow night. Invite Pops.

We'll see what happens.

Hey.

Hey.

I just wanted you to know...

Scottie called to thank me, Harvey.

That's funny. She just called me.

Well, I guess she's grateful to both of us.

I guess so.

Um...

did she say something to you about...

About what?

Perfect timing. Thomas.

I thought we were meeting downstairs.

I got here a little early. I thought I'd come meet you.

Harvey, this is Thomas... Kessler, we've met.

Nice to see you again. You too.

Louis always spoke very highly of you.

You too.

Well, shall we? Of course.

Good night, Harvey. Good night.

You look lost.

I was just, um...

I'm sorry I didn't say yes sooner.

She pushed a button.

I let my competitive nature get the better of me.

She does that. She sure does.

Hey, I was gonna go to my office and get a drink,

but now I'm thinking I want to go out.

You care to join me? Why not?

But you're buying,

'cause after all, I had your back.

I am never gonna hear the end of this, am I?

No, sir, you are not.

You got any more ex-girlfriend lawyers I should know about?

I'll send you a list.
