Nervous?

I'd be lying if I said no.

Well, I wouldn't want you to lie.

- She knows. She does.
- She can't.

What's holding on
my Swinton merger?

Are you kidding me?

We've been over this, okay?
If she knew, you'd know.

I do know.
The woman barely knows my name,

and she just summoned me
for dinner.

What is so funny?

Watson, Klyman, Gallo,
Goldberg, and Specter.

Why are you naming...

The last five senior partners?

Every one of us was taken to dinner
by Jessica as a first-year.

And now she's taking you,
which means...

This is a good thing.

Exactly.

Oh, God.

- What now?
- What do I wear?

What do I say?
What do I wear?

We can discuss the prom
at recess.

Tell me what the hell's
holding up my Swinton merger.

Oh, it's just a nuisance suit

that needs to be cleaned up
before we can clear escrow. I'm all over it.

Why wasn't that the first thing
you told me?

Uh, I thought
I was getting exposed.

This is
a little less important.

My merger, your panic attack.

Your compassion.
And I didn't have a panic attack.

I had a legitimate reason for concern.

Really? Why would she ask you to dinner
just to fire you?

I don't know.
A little movie called Goodfellas.

Did you see it?

Joe Pesci thought he was getting made,
he got dead.

That's your idea
of a legitimate reason?

"Karen!
Where's the money, Karen?

"Karen?"

They never checked.

What do you mean
"they never checked"?

The Internet was not
what it is today.

It was not so easy
to catch plagiarism.

God, that's awesome.

Wait a minute.

If you graduated college then,
then that... That would make you...

Old enough to run
my own law firm.

But you look so young.

- Well, you know what they say.
- Mmm-hmm.

- True beauty is ageless.
- Black don't crack.

That's what I meant to say.

Uh-huh.

Well, enough about me.
I want to hear about you.

What was Harvard like?

I was three when I realized

that I wasn't like
the other kids.

When school started,
it was like a joke.

I didn't take notes.
I never studied.

Every year people would tell me,

"Next year you won't get away with it."

Kept waiting for it
to get harder,

but it just never did.

And Harvard?

I knew it would end.
I mean, it had to.

I thought, "Yeah,"
I'd finally found a place

where I'd be, uh...

Exposed.

But it turns out,
even at the mighty Harvard Law...

You weren't the same
as the other kids.

I know it sounds cocky.

Not to me.

The fact is, you don't think
of yourself as smart.

You've always had your mind,
it just is what it is.

Yeah, that's exactly
what it is.

I don't think of myself
as smart, you know.

I just think
of everybody else as...

- Idiots.
- Not smart.

That's what I meant to say.

Why the law?

It's kind of, uh, personal.

Isn't that why we're here?

When I was 11,

my parents were
on their way home from dinner,

and they were involved
in a really horrible accident.

And, uh, they...

My grandmother took me in.

And it wasn't until
I was much older

that I realized
that we had a case.

See, it turns out
this restaurant,

they kept feeding this Mr. Fenton drinks
long after they knew...

Didn't matter.

I just...

I felt so helpless.

And I didn't want
to feel that way

ever again.

Harvey was right.

About what?

I hope you brought your checkbook.

Dinner's on you.

Wait.
What was Harvey right about?

How was dinner?

Free caviar.

What's not to love?

If you want to know
something about me,

you should have just
asked me.

Why can't I just be getting
to know Mr. Ross

the way I got to know you?

Because if you're just trying
to get to know him,

you would have told me
about the dinner.

Something's going on,
and I want to know what it is.

An allegation was made

that Mike Ross
never went to Harvard,

or any other law school
for that matter.

So I had him checked out.

Squeaky clean.

Graduated top of his class.

So I took him to dinner.

I wanted to see
what you saw in him

that makes him so special.

And?

I get it.

He's a total package.

Maybe even the best
of both of us.

I hope this doesn't mean you're gonna
put me in charge of recruiting.

Not to worry.
You are off the hook.

Harvey, one more thing.

He might have checked out clean,

but I know that kid's full of shit.

Because there may be a record of him
graduating from Harvard Law,

but there's no record
of him graduating

from any college anywhere
on the face of the earth.

So I'm gonna give you
the benefit of the doubt

that you didn't know.

Because I don't want to do
what I would do if you did.

And what you're going to do
is fire that goddamn kid.

See the money,
wanna stay for your meal

Get another piece of pie
for your wife

Everybody wanna know
how it feel

Everybody wanna see
what it's like

I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind

Me and missy is so early

Busy, busy making money

All right!

All step back
I'm 'bout to dance

The greenback boogie

Donna, do me a favor
and get Mr. Sherman on the phone, please.

Thank you.

What was that?

Excuse me?

"Please," "do me a favor,"
and "thank you,"

all in the same sentence?

You think
I'm not gonna notice that?

- I don't have time for this.
- You got time.

You're gonna sit right there
while I figure out what the hell's going on.

Nothing's going on.

Dimple in your tie's
too far to the left.

That says that your mind
is on something else.

Mr. Sherman's called 136 times,
you've never called him back,

which means
you're feeling guilty

- and you're trying to compensate.
- I'm not trying to...

I didn't say overcompensate.

As long as we're clear.

The only time
I've ever seen you wear lavender

was when your brother
was in the hospital.

Whoa.

Either your mother's
somehow appeared in your life,

or Jessica found out about Mike.

Oh, my God.

Does he know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What's playing on that thing?

Uh, audiobook.
Fall of the Roman Empire.

So you're awfully chipper.

Maybe you got some good news?

Uh, yeah.

That led to an amazing dinner
with an incredible woman.

I'm really happy to hear
things are going well with you and Jenny.

Whoa, no. No, no, no.

I was out with Jessica last night.

Isn't she just
a little old for you?

Uh, I do okay with the cougars.

You realize you're talking
about the managing partner of the firm?

Please don't tell anyone
I said that.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna fire him.

What's up, mother fleckers?

Wow. Oh, my God.
That's a beautiful day.

What's wrong with you two?
Somebody die?

I'm gonna be outside.

"I'm gonna be outside.
I'm so serious. All the time."

- Mike?
- Uh-huh.

Sit down.

No can do.
I've got too much energy.

I just wanted to come and give you
an update on the Swinton merger.

Turns out this woman thinks

that publishing stole
one of her book ideas.

- Filed suit.
- Listen.

Normally,
I'd suggest that we settle.

But then I got to thinking.

W-W-H-D.

What would Harvey do?

- Steamroll her.
- Exactly.

Which is what I'm gonna do.

Myra Harrison is not gonna know
what hit her.

Why embrace my philosophy now?

Come on.
Your merger, Myra Harrison.

Mike.

Sit down.

You okay?

I can't talk right now.

Okay, just get it over with.
Tell me what happened.

It was the talk and the plan
and the whole "what I would do."

It's just... Whatever.

You couldn't do it.

I didn't do it.

You got overwhelmed with a wave of emotion
you didn't see coming.

- You cried, and you let him stay.
- No.

I thought of the amount of work
I would have to go through

to replace him
and decided against it.

Did you see the amount of work
through a pool of tears?

- Are you finished?
- Can I get you anything?

Tissue? Glass of water?
Tampon?

Okay, wait a second.

You listen
to all my private conversations.

- So?
- This time you didn't.

Yeah, I was busy.

Busy?

- That's what you're going with?
- Very busy.

You didn't listen
because you couldn't listen.

Because you were
too overwhelmed with emotion.

I am not
the topic of conversation here.

Can I get you anything?
Tissue? Water?

I got it.

Harvey,

you said if you didn't fire him,
Jessica would.

So what are you gonna do?

Buy us some time.

Hey.

If you didn't
tell him anything,

why was he so dazed
when he walked out of here?

I told him
I was proud of him.

You need to give that boy
more encouragement.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Could you tell me
where I could find a copy

of James Jenkins' latest book?

Um, right there in new releases.

Oh, that's funny.

'Cause I have
a complaint here that says

that you're claiming
to have written his newest book.

Sorry, who are you?

My name's Mike Ross.
I represent Drecker Publishing.

I want to tell you the story
of how your bullshit lawsuit pans out.

Best case, you prove
that they stole your idea.

You know what?
It doesn't matter.

Because you signed
an employment agreement

giving Drecker Publishing
the rights

to all work product
that you create.

Now lucky for you,
we happen to be in the middle of a merger,

and you're kind of being
an inconvenience.

So I get to be the good guy
who comes down here

and strongly advises you
to just go ahead and give up now

and save yourself
a whole lot of money.

Anyway, that's all.

Thank you so much for your time,
and have a nice day.

I bet your mother's proud of you.

- Excuse me?
- You heard me.

Standing there in your fancy suit
calling my story bullshit?

You don't even know
what it is.

Miss Harrison,
it's not my job to...

To what?
To care?

To be a human being?
To listen for two seconds?

I was an assistant
at Drecker for five years,

and I finally got an idea
for my own book.

And my boss,
who I thought was my friend,

encouraged me
to pitch my idea to her.

So I did.
And she took that idea,

served it up to James Jenkins,
and completely shut me out.

Myra...

What are you looking for here?

These ideas aren't easy to come by.

I might not have another one
in my entire life.

I just want to be paid
for my idea.

Finally get your big promotion
to file clerk?

For your information,
I happen to be compiling a redundancy list

for the Swinton merger.

Well, while you're at it,
why don't you compile

a redundancy list
for the Swinton merger?

Instead of trying to be hilarious,

maybe you can just close the deal,

so then I can do my job

and determine which departments
get bashed in the head.

What, are you killing seals?

Would that it were.

Rodents of the sea.

Listen, I need you to lay off
Mike Ross for a while.

Oh, do you now?

Because he may be your associate,

but as I've told you,
like, I don't know, a million times,

I run the associates.

I'm not disputing that.

It's just with Jessica's
new interest in him...

- What interest?
- Hadn't you heard?

- Heard what?
- Never mind.

No, tell me.
Tell me now.

Jessica took Mike to dinner last night.
lago's.

la...

That's where she took me.

Really? Oh.

Anyway, I'd consider it
a personal favor

if you'd just lay off Mike
for a few days,

but it's your call.

Hey. Thanks.

What are you doing here?

Right now, I want to know what's going on
with you and Rachel.

- Nothing.
- Nothing?

Jenny, how many times
do I have to answer this?

Excuse me?

Every day it's a new time
you don't trust me.

No, everyday it's the same
"I don't trust you."

You kissed her.

Tell me that's not true.

I... I didn't kiss her.
She kissed me.

- Like that makes a difference.
- It does, all right?

It happened,
but I didn't follow up on it.

And what you're leaving out
is that even after all that happened,

you asked me to choose,
and I chose you.

I asked you
if anything ever happened

between the two of you,
and you lied.

When you asked me that, you weren't asking
about a kiss, and you know it.

I didn't lie, I just answered the question
that you really asked.

Oh, you are such a goddamn lawyer.

Oh, wait, that's right,
you're not.

All right,
if kissing someone else is so awful,

then what about you?

I seem to remember you kissing me
when you were still with Trevor.

When I kissed you,
it was because you were the person

that I wanted to be with.

Obviously,
that's how you feel about Rachel.

That wasn't true!

Wasn't?

Well, I hope

that you two
are really happy together.

I'm sorry.

You know,
you didn't ask me how I knew.

- Trevor told me.
- What?

Two days ago.

Right before he told me

that he was gonna tell Jessica Pearson
you're a fraud.

Well, if it isn't the anointed one.

Where the hell you been?

- Well, I'm not feeling very well.
- I don't really care.

And I also don't care
how special Jessica thinks you are.

Because you still answer to me.

And you're gonna do
every piece of work

that I assign to you
until you don't.

Yeah, um,
I just have to see Harvey first.

Oh, no, no, no.
Harvey can't help you.

Now I want
the detailed listing

of every redundant position
in the Swinton merger.

And I want it yesterday,
capisce?

And get a mint,
because your breath is disgusting.

You drunk dialed him?

I didn't drunk dial him.
I called him.

Yeah, I left the room
for two minutes,

and you called him
after a glass of whiskey.

- What would you call it?
- Stupid.

So what did you say
on the message?

I said that I couldn't stop thinking
about our kiss.

- You kissed him?
- Yes.

- Where?
- On the mouth.

Where did it happen?

In the library.

The Pearson Hardman library?

No, the Library of Congress.

- Was John Boehner there?
- Are you gonna help me?

Or are you gonna
amuse yourself?

I can multitask.

Oh.

So what's the problem?

The problem is
I left him that message

three nights ago,
and he hasn't said anything.

I don't know what to do.

Well, when a person
gets a message like that,

and they act like they didn't,
it's one of two things.

Either they got the message,
and they don't feel the same way,

or they didn't get the message.

And who doesn't get
their messages?

He made his choice.

- Whoa.
- What?

I got to go.

Okay.

Hey, wait a second.
How was it?

The kiss?

Good enough to make me
drunk dial him.

Well,
what are we talking about?

Jeremy Lin?
Yeah, I can make that happen.

- You knew.
- I got to go.

- When?
- Last night.

What are we gonna do?

We've got no choice.

- We have to leave the country.
- What?

I can get us two tickets
to Buenos Aires

and have the chopper
on the helipad in 10 minutes.

Wait. She knows?
And you know she knows?

And you're joking
about my life?

What the hell
is wrong with you?

- Are you mad at me?
- No, I want to kill you!

Good, because if you're mad,
that means you're not panicking.

Now calm the hell down.

Okay, what did she say?

- She told me to fire you.
- That's not calming me down.

Haven't I taught you
that there's more than one response

when someone has a gun
to your head?

Right now
there's not even a gun in here.

No, no.
It's not in here.

It's out there
roaming the halls.

And when it sees me,
it's gonna start shooting.

Weren't you supposed
to give that plaintiff

- the Harvey Specter treatment?
- Yes.

- Did you wrap it up?
- I'm working on it.

That means you didn't give her
the Harvey Specter treatment.

So why don't you go do your job
and have some goddamn faith

that I'll do mine?
Donna, not now.

Oh, you're gonna
want to hear this.

What?

Alicia Hardman died
last night.

Hard as in
Pearson Hardman?

- Wife. Is it public yet?
- No.

When were you going to tell me she knew,
Harvey?

I wasn't.

- Jessica.
- Louis.

- How are you?
- Never better. You?

Top of the world.

- Did you need me?
- No.

But I do have something
that will make you happy.

Oh. Fire away.

Well, as you know,
I've been compiling a list

of redundant departments
for the Swinton merger.

You should also think
about compiling a list

of redundant departments
for the Swinton merger.

That is awesome.

Anyway, I thought
you'd be happy to know

that I assigned it
to Mike Ross.

Excellent. When?

Just now.

Harvey mentioned your dinner,
and I knew

that was an indicator
of you being very fond...

Louis, it's one of the things
I love about you.

- You get me.
- I do.

Yes.

Oh, I forgot something.
You go ahead, all right?

And Louis, thank you.

Sure.

What the hell
is wrong with you?

Not here.

No.

You think I don't know
what you're doing?

I know you know what I did.

You baited Louis
into working with Ross,

so if he leaves abruptly,

Louis will
start asking questions.

I said I knew you knew.
Now you're just showing off.

You think I'm gonna
let you get away with it?

I think we've got
bigger fish to fry.

Alicia Hardman's dead.

Which means
Daniel Hardman's coming back.

You don't know that.

Yes, I do.
And so do you.

No, you're just using this situation

to get Mike Ross
out of the crosshairs.

Need I remind you
that the only reason we were able

to get rid of the other half
of Pearson Hardman

in the first place
was by threatening

to tell her
about his affair?

That was the means,
not the end.

We had a good reason,
and you know that.

That's not my point.

Alicia's dead.
Our leverage is gone.

That was five years ago.

A lot can happen
in five years.

And what Daniel Hardman's been doing
for the last five years

is dreaming of the day
he comes back

and screws us both
out of our jobs.

There's an easy way
to find out.

Then let's do it.

'Cause I can tell you this,
that asshole's coming back.

And he isn't coming
because he wants to be number two.

I got to say,
he looks good.

Being a prick
keeps you handsome.

Are you saying
that I'm handsome?

The fact that you think
that comment was directed at you

makes you self-centered
and vain at the same time.

Doesn't mean
it wasn't directed at me.

It was.

Which means
I'm also omniscient.

And handsome.

You left out arrogant.

You know, you and Daniel
are cut from the same cloth.

That's why
I don't like him.

"There can be only one."

We're at a funeral,
and you're quoting Highlander?

Yeah,
a lot of people die in it.

Seems appropriate.

You know the one key difference
between the two of us?

He's a lying snake
in the grass

who'll say or do anything.

Mr. Ross, the truth is
I don't remember

where the James Jenkins pitch came from.

Then it could have come
from Myra.

Well, it could have,
but it doesn't matter.

Even if I had stolen it,
she signed the employee agreement.

Which gives Drecker Publishing the rights
to her work product. Yes, I know.

Well, then you also know
I'm not going to taint

my company's reputation
by giving Myra credit.

I'm not asking you
to give her credit.

I'm asking you
to give her compensation

in exchange
for a confidential settlement agreement,

which protects your reputation.

That sounds like blackmail.

Miss Beckman.

This lawsuit is the only thing
holding up a billion-dollar merger.

And every day
that it drags on,

it's costing your company
more money.

What I'm talking about

is giving Myra Harrison
a crumb of a crumb.

So stop worrying about what it sounds like,
and start writing a check.

How much is it gonna cost?

That's what
I want to hear.

Just look at 'em.

Sycophants.
It makes me sick.

I'm not gonna stand in line
for the privilege

of kissing Daniel Hardman's ass,
and neither are you.

It's a funeral.

The man was a slave driver.

All he ever did
was shit on me

and make me work long hours
for him.

I mean,
where was the kind word?

You know, the tiny gesture?
Yeah, I don't think so.

- To be fair, it's not...
- Zip it, I'm talking.

And then he just ups and leaves,
you know?

To take care
of his dying wife.

So?
I'm not waiting in line, okay?

I'm not gonna give the guy
the satisfaction.

What I meant was
now that she's dead,

does that mean
that he's coming back?

Actually, this line looks
like it's flowing.

And you're not... No.
What is that?

That's my, uh, cancer ribbon.

No, I know what it is.
Why are you wearing it?

Well, I wanted to show
my support for Mrs. Hardman.

It's what she died of, and I...
I also had this aunt

that, um, she...

$30,000.

- That is a lot of money.
- Yeah, it is.

It's as much as they've ever paid
for a freelance pitch.

But those people
also got credit,

which helped them sell
their next idea for more.

I thought you said
you were worried

you'd never have
another good idea.

Myra, this is...

This is the best deal
you're going to get.

I'm not exactly sure
that's true.

No, trust me, it is.

You said
you're in the middle of a merger

and that I'm an inconvenience.

I did my research.
It's a huge merger.

I told you that to help you.

You told me that to bully me.

You only tried to help later.

And I succeeded.

Which is why you have a check
for $30,000 in your hands.

Do you believe
that was my idea?

I know you do.
That's why you agreed to help.

- What's your point?
- My point is,

Lesley was my boss,
but I thought we were friends.

So when she asked me
to trust her, I did.

And she betrayed me.

Can you imagine
what that would be like?

Got to say, up close,
I feel bad for him.

Just don't forget
why we're here.

Daniel.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Harvey.

My condolences.

Doesn't sound the same,
coming from you.

You have my sympathy
for your wife,

but I don't pretend
this is page one of the story.

You must think I hate you both.

Well, that might have something to do
with the fact

that I was listening
the last time you spoke to me.

I was pissed, wasn't I?

You threw your phone
at my head.

I did miss though.

That's because
you throw like a girl.

You're still angry, Harvey,
and I don't blame you.

But what you don't understand

is the last five years
have changed everything for me.

How so?

I reconnected with Alicia.

I cared for her.

I know you can't get back
lost time with your family,

but you can make up for it.

Look at Sarah.

I never really knew her,
and now I do.

Last time I saw her,
she was a little girl.

She just graduated high school.

Going to Harvard, this fall.

The truth is,

what you did to me

was the best thing
anyone could have done for me.

That mean you're coming back?

It's my wife's funeral, Harvey.

I haven't given it
any real thought yet.

I am a changed man, Jessica.

And I have you
to thank for it.

You actually buying
that pious bullshit?

Not for a second.

He's coming for us.

I can stop him
before he even gets through the door.

I don't see
how you're gonna be able to do that.

I'll have extra motivation.

You want the kid to stay.

Yes.

Like I said,
cut from the same cloth.

Make it happen.

You've got yourself a deal.

Why haven't I been notified
that my merger's closing?

Uh, the plaintiff's refusing
to settle without credit.

What happened
to steamrolling her?

She realized that she's in a unique position
to hold up the merger.

How the hell
did she realize that?

Oh, no, wait.
Don't tell me.

You fell in love with her,
and then you told her.

No, I did not fall
in love with her,

but, yeah, I believe her.

- You're kidding me.
- What?

I'm fighting for your job,

and you're gonna screw up
this merger?

- Are you?
- Am I what?

Fighting for my job.

Because if you're not,
this is gonna be my last case,

and I'm not sure
I want to go down

fighting for the wrong side.

What makes you think
I'm not fighting for you?

Mmm, I don't know.
Your career, my... Anything.

Oh, you got a lot of nerve.

You have no idea
what I've been doing for you.

Maybe.
But you and I both know

you were gonna fire me
the other day, don't we?

Don't answer that.
I can see the look on your face.

It's the same look
I can see in here,

from that morning,
clear as a bell.

What I was going to do
and what I did aren't the same thing.

Like the first day I met you,

when you were gonna deal drugs
and you didn't.

Look, I can't tell you everything
that's going on here, all right?

You have to trust me.

You are not getting fired
on my watch.

Hey, Rachel,
do you have a minute?

- I need to...
- No, I don't.

I got your message
loud and clear.

Wait. What?

Look, I'm not mad.

I'm just in the middle
of a lot of work right now.

So if you're looking
for a friend, I...

I just really don't
have the time. Sorry.

What message?

You must really be
needing some love.

Why do you say that?

Those cookies are from
the Eisenhower administration.

You know,

sometimes,

sometimes I wish
I could go back.

To when?

Before.

It.

When I was little,
I used to sit with my grandmother

whenever I was upset.

A mother loves you,
but a grandmother...

Always on your side.

Do you remember
that time that I

ran away to your place?

You were so mad
they wouldn't let you stay up

to watch The Cosby Show.

I know.
It's so unreasonable, right?

But you were six.

You took me in,
told me that story,

the time you ran away
from your parents.

Yeah, I ended up getting
found by some dock workers

- three miles from the house.
- Yeah, that's the one.

- Never happened.
- What?

I just wanted to make you
miss your mom and dad.

I basically told you
Hansel and Gretel.

What? No.
It ends so differently.

I added some touches.

You wouldn't have bought

me getting eaten
by the dock workers.

You were six,
you weren't an imbecile.

There is nothing new...

Under the sun.

What?

I suddenly feel so much better.

Thank you.

Hi. Harvey Specter.

I'm Sarah.

Um, I saw you talking
to my father at the service.

We used to work together.

Did you know my mom?

Not as well
as I would have liked.

Um, I was just going out.

I need a walk.

Dad's just over there.

I'm sure he'll be happy
to see you.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Harvey?

You brought food.

New York's finest.

You didn't want to come empty-handed.

I didn't want to come here at all.

But you want to make sure
I don't come back.

When we found out
about your little scam,

I wanted to go public.
Jessica said no.

Didn't want to damage
the firm's reputation.

She always was
a strategic thinker.

But you've been gone
a long time.

Now when we tell everyone
what you were up to,

our reputation will be fine,
yours won't.

As I said before,

I haven't decided
what the future holds for me.

And all your little threat
is doing is

making me want to come back.

When I was growing up,
I had a friend who found out

that his mother
never loved his father.

She cheated on him their whole marriage,
then left him.

He never forgave her.

If you come back,
here's what's gonna happen.

Your daughter's gonna find out
what kind of man her father is.

Everything.

You think I won't do that?

I will.

Why are you doing this?

To protect my own.

Do us all a favor
and set up shop somewhere else.

I think I figured out
a way to get everybody what they want.

Well, that's good.

What's she doing here?

Well, she's here
to get what she wants.

Which is what, exactly?

Credit.
That's all Myra's looking for.

So just admit
that you remember the pitch

and that you know
what you did.

I have no intention of doing that
because it's not true.

So you'd be willing to take
a lie-detector test to that effect, then?

I most certainly will not.

Well, the thing is, Lesley,
that Myra's not the only one

who signed an agreement
with Drecker Publishing.

So did you.

And that agreement
gives them the right

to terminate you
if you refuse to submit to a polygraph.

And I happen to represent them,
not you.

I took it.

- Hmm.
- I was under the gun.

I was entitled to it,
so I took it.

You offered me advice,
and I trusted you.

She's threatened by you, Myra.

Not a good choice of mentor.

Now look,
you got the credit you wanted,

so sign the deal.

No, I want public credit.
Not credit in here.

I thought you might say that.

Which is why I have spent
the last 24 hours

scanning the entire
Drecker Publishing catalog.

Robert Fallow,

Jonathan Daken,

and, my personal favorite,
Lester Collins.

Any one of them could have been written
on the basis of your pitch.

But they weren't
because they were written years before it.

Are you saying
I plagiarized them?

I'm... I'm saying
there's nothing new under the sun.

Now I suggest you sign that deal
and go home.

Otherwise we're gonna countersue

for plagiarizing your pitch
from our previous works.

But it's not true.

It's no less legitimate than claiming

we stole something
you gave us the rights to.

Myra.

You want to be writer?

Then write.

But don't ever threaten me
or my firm again.

- You look happy.
- I am happy.

Anything I should know?

Welcome to Pearson Hardman.

Anything I should know?

Settled the case.

Merger paperwork's on the way.

You slammed the plaintiff?

- Oh, I slammed everybody.
- That's what I like to hear.

When I ran Pearson Hardman,

I was charming,
witty and adorable.

I was also unscrupulous,

power-hungry and greedy.

I thought I could
get away with anything.

And that's exactly
what I tried to do.

I risked
the firm's reputation

and the careers
of everyone in it.

These last few years
have humbled me.

And I've decided to come back

and show that we can be
a successful law firm

without breaking the rules.

Unfortunately,
the only way that I can do that

is by coming clean
about my past.

Because if we are busy hiding
what we have done,

it leaves us vulnerable

to anyone
who discovers our secrets.

And we become so consumed
with keeping them,

that it is a slippery slope
to doing even worse things.

While I was
head of this firm,

I borrowed funds
from various escrow accounts.

The clients never found out about it.
I paid back every cent.

But make no mistake,

I could have been convicted of theft,
plain and simple.

I want everyone here
to know the kind of man I was.

And the kind of man I am.

Thank you.

Go home now.

Don't come back.

You and I
are gonna have a talk.

I understand
why you had Harvey do what he did.

But I'm not the same person.

I told my daughter everything.

I hope we can figure out
a way to work together.

Didn't think you'd have the guts
to show up.

- What do you want?
- What do I want?

I want to know how my best friend
could do this to me.

Do what to you? Huh?

Betray you?
Go behind your back?

I stood there joking with you,
my friend, my buddy.

And my girlfriend was in your shower,
three feet away.

Hope you two
had a good laugh about that.

- I was gonna tell you, Trevor.
- But you didn't.

And I wasn't gonna
tell Jenny about Rachel, but I did.

How'd you even know
about me and Rachel?

You know what?
You're so smart, you figure it out.

Okay, yeah, you got me.
Jenny broke up with me.

But you went to my boss.
You tried to ruin my life.

We're even.

990-36-7249.

It's your social security number,
right?

I saw it on your dad's desk
when we were in the sixth grade.

See, you think
that you can mess with my life,

and I can't mess with yours,
but I can.

The only thing
that's stopped me until now

is the fact
that I actually cared about you.

But now, after this,
I really don't give a shit about you anymore.

You might not have my memory,
but you better remember that.

What the hell
did you say to Daniel?

Does it matter?

What matters
is I don't ever want

to see Mike Ross
in this office again.

Well, that's not gonna happen.

Excuse me?

I'm not firing him.

Then I'll fire him.

No, you won't.

You said you gave me
the benefit of the doubt

that I didn't know about Mike,
otherwise you'd fire me too.

Well, I knew.

You trying to force my hand?

I'm trying to stay your hand.

He goes, I go.

Pack up your things.
You're done.

There's only one problem with that.

Daniel's coming for your job.

If I leave now,

he'll smell something's wrong,
he'll figure out what it is.

You'll look reckless

for letting me hire a kid
without a degree,

or foolish
for not knowing I did it.

Neither quality being an asset
in a managing partner.

Which makes you vulnerable.

All because you hired the goddamn kid
in the first place.

Be that as it may,
he'll use it against you.

You need me.

And I'm not staying without Mike.

Hey, Mike, it's Rachel.

I know I shouldn't
be doing this,

and I...
I know you're seeing Jenny,

but I can't stop thinking
about the kiss.

And... I can't go back.

- Hello...
- Get your ass in here.

On my way.

I thought...

Harvey said he wanted to see me.

He said,
"Get your ass in here."

Am I fired?

You should be.

That imply that I'm not?

Not necessarily.

However, if I'm going
to accept this situation,

then I want to know
everything there is to know.

Okay.

Where do I start?

Why don't you tell me
how the hell

you got Harvey to hire you
in the first place.

Fire up that laptop
and I'll show you.

Ask me anything there is
to know about the law.

That's how you did it?

You beat him?

Well, I'm not Harvey.

I don't need a computer.
