Donna.

You know, in all the years
that we worked together,

you've been over
to my place exactly twice.

The God-awful dinner party
and the other time.

I have been gone
three weeks

and you've been here
that many times.

- What?
- I had a good time at that dinner party.

Oh, my God.
It is just like you to make a joke.

And ignore the other time.

I brought you your bonus.

Really?

You thought that would
make it all better, handing me a check?

Look, I know
that you're pissed.

Oh, what gave it away?

- Donna.
- You just had to jump in there

at the trial,
didn't you?

You just had to fight
my battles for me.

Yeah, I did that because
the last time I saw you,

you were pissed
that I didn't fight for you.

Well, congratulations,
Harvey.

All you managed to do was make it
look like I love you.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Oh, my God.
You think I do.

Oh, yeah.

I have actually never met
such a self-important...

Donna, about that time,
you once told me...

I don't care
what I once told you.

That wasn't what
Louis was asking.

He was asking
if I love you.

And you wouldn't answer.

Because he was forcing
a yes or no answer

to a complicated question.

I am not in love
with you, Harvey.

I love you

like a brother or a cousin.

Somebody that you really,
really look forward

to seeing at Christmas, and then,
you're really, really glad to see leave.

And as far as you and I are concerned,
Christmas is over.

I didn't just come here
to give you a check.

I came here
to get you back.

What, Cameron
not working out?

I heard that little shit redid
my entire filing system.

Cameron's fine.
Look, I need you.

Need?

- Need.
- But what about Jessica?

- Already signed off.
- How did you get her to do that?

Because I told her
I can't be me

without you.

- No, you didn't.
- Well, I thought it.

And she knows it.

Okay, I will come back
on two conditions.

One is,

you replace
that check with a bigger one.

And the other?

Harold.

- Is that porn?
- No.

Well, yes. But that's not
what I'm using it for.

Okay, I'm about
150% percent sure

that I'm going
to regret this, but...

What are you using it for?

I'm looking at tattoos.

I told you, it's what
I'm getting with my first...

Bonus time,
boys and girls.

Too much.
Way too much.

Ooh! Multiply this by zero,
and it's still way too much.

O'Neil,
Racine, Sabbatini...

- No Ross.
- Very funny, Louis.

I'm not kidding.
Looks like you came up empty.

You have the file
for the Solis motion to dismiss?

Yep. All set.

The main citations
are tabbed.

Good. Go. I'm busy.

Okay, I was just...

Um, you know,
before you, um...

- Did you...
- Are you having a stroke?

- What?
- My bonus.

Louis didn't have it.

Well, at least he said that
he didn't have it.

So, I thought
that maybe you, uh...

Maybe Jessica thinks
you don't deserve one.

You know, because
you're not a lawyer.

Right. Right.

No, that's true.
So, um,

I guess these won't be doing
you any good. I'll just...

Jessica thinks
you're not a lawyer.

I don't think that.

Um. Wow.

Your Monica Eton
performance worked.

You switched Carson,
Gallo, and Fogerty.

Wait. Is that why
you're giving me so much?

- Yes. We're up one.
- You might want to hold onto it for a bit.

- Why?
- Hanson took a job

at the Justice Department.
Our lead is gone. Now, we're even.

Well,
the vote's in four days.

The tie goes to
the incumbent.

- So, we're good.
- Probably.

Nice.

Uh, you do realize that "hold
onto it for a bit" thing,

that's just a
figure of speech.

Yeah. Okay.
I'm just...

And that's it. Okay.

You wanted to see me?

I saw you handing out bonuses to
the associates earlier.

They must all
be feeling grateful.

The firm was
quite generous.

It's not just the associates
who should be rewarded.

Well, for me,
personally,

it's the satisfaction
of the work that drives me.

Although the money does
help keep score.

You misunderstand me.
I don't have a check for you, Louis.

I was hoping you
had one for me.

I'm sorry.
I'm confused.

Jessica is the one who handles
the bonuses for the partners.

I'm not talking
about a bonus check.

I'm talking about a buy-in check.
For senior partnership.

As founding partner,

I am entitled
to name one

new Senior Partner a year.

I'm naming you.

You're making...
You're...

You're making me...

Yes.

I can't wait
to tell everybody.

My mother, my father,
Rabbi Shimkoff...

Yes.

Oh, my God. The look on
Harvey's face.

Louis.

It's official
as of this moment.

But I think we should
make the actual announcement

at the next
Senior Partners' meeting.

Sure, the meeting where managing
partner will be voted on.

I believe that
is on the agenda.

Best to do these things
face to face.

Don't you agree?

It's our secret.

Tomorrow is just like
any other Tuesday.

Exactly.

Hey.

Congratulations.

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

Get out. And take your
color-coded filing system with you.

It's a system.
How do I...

I'm trying to give the moment
some dramatic flair.

Jeez. Now,
he ruined that, too.

God.

That's it? That was worth making
a whole condition?

I've never fired
anyone before.

You know he's a floating
temp, right?

I mean, he'll be on somebody else's desk
by the end of lunch.

Does everyone have to rain
on my parade?

First of all, you just have to look
at the statistics.

I mean, this guy, Solis,

could barely crack
20 homers a season a few years ago.

Now, he's banging out
over 40 a year.

What's that
supposed to be, the...

The wisdom of age?

And you don't even have to look
at what he's doing on the field

to wonder if
this guy is juicing.

Just take a look at him.

Now, look.
I might not be a scientist,

but I do have
common sense.

And it says this
guy is doping.

But hey, that's just...

One man's opinion.

Your Honor, if being an asshole
was a criminal offense

I'd say lock
Mr. Zielinski up.

In fact, if they want
to call him that, be my guest.

But they better use the word
"opinion" like he did.

Because unless
I woke up this morning

in Nazi Germany,
that's my client's right.

Nazi Germany?

I was making a point.

Ja, a good one.

Your Honor,
his client blatantly

declares his rants
are merely his opinions

for the sole purpose
of skirting libel law.

I drive 65 for the sole purpose
of avoiding a speeding ticket.

Doesn't make me
a criminal.

But Mr. Specter doesn't
have malice against other drivers.

- What does he have?
- I don't know.

Your Honor, we have a little recording
of Mr. Zielinski of our own.

This is what
Mr. Zielinski sounds like

when he doesn't know
the cameras are rolling.

Solis?

The guy is a
goddamn fraud.

He's juicing. I know it.

I don't care what evidence he or
the league claim to have.

When I say things,
people listen.

And I am going to run his ass
out of the game.

Your Honor, I...

Save it, Mr. Specter.

Case goes to trial.

You really
only drive 65?

In a school zone.

Solis doesn't need the money.
What do you want?

Three years' worth
of random tests by the league.

Plus independent tests
we had run to quash the rumors.

As you can see,
my client is clean.

Zielinski doesn't
have these.

Oh, he does.
And I know it

because we sent them
to him.

But he chooses
not to reveal them on his show.

What if I get him to air these results,
plus your side of the story?

Too late for that.

We want an apology
from your client.

In person?

Nice try.

We want an on-air,
complete retraction.

And that's
non-negotiable.

Louis.

- Hi, Donna. I heard you were back.
- I am.

Yeah, see that.

Look, you know,
I, um...

- I never... I never wanted to...
- To what?

I never wanted
to do what I did.

And I just don't
have the words.

Find them.

I'm sorry.

I'm so, so, sorry.

Then, let us never
speak of it again.

Mmm...
You're kidding, right?

Did you mean
what you just said?

And more.

Then, it's done.

- No, it isn't.
- Did you hear what I just...

Season pass.
Lincoln Center.

Front row, every show.

- Really? Do I have to go with you?
- Hell no.

Thank you, Louis.

You are welcome.

God, could this
day get any better?

Any better?

What was so good
about it before?

- Huh? What happened?
- Something.

Nothing. No. Can't I just be
glad you're back?

You look like you
have 80 teeth.

What kind of suit is that?

Brioni. Why?

Oh, shit.

Welcome back, Donna.

Thank you, but there's something
I need to tell you.

You don't need
to apologize.

Uh, that's not
what it is.

You're not getting
a raise.

Daniel just made Louis
Senior Partner.

How do you know?

Four years ago, Norma told me
that Louis had a suit

picked out for the day
he made Senior Partner.

- He is wearing it.
- Son of a bitch.

Hardman bought
another vote.

- What are you going to do about it?
- Get it back.

Donna?

- Yes.
- How did the suit look?

Dated.

Thank you.

I can't believe that asshole
put us in this pickle.

I'd think you'd admire him.
He's cleaning up the game you love.

He's been throwing
accusations around with no proof,

and I've had about
enough of that lately.

Well, proof or no proof, anybody
can see that Solis is juicing.

That's not what
those tests say.

People can find ways
to pass tests, trust me.

Michael.

Grammy? Rachel.

Oh, no. Um,

- Harvey, this...
- Is this your famous grandmother?

Oh, you were right.
He is sharp.

What are you doing here?

Mr. Specter,
pleasure to meet you.

Your grandson says
nice things about you.

Oh, he tells me
you're quite the hard-ass.

Can be a hard-ass.

Hard-ass isn't really
the word he uses. It's...

- Hey, Grammy...
- I see lip runs in the family.

It's nice meeting you.

Um, what are
you doing here?

And why are you in Rachel's office?

Oh, we bumped into each other
downstairs in the lobby.

I thought we could eat.

You might as well have brought it
to me in a Star Wars lunchbox.

- But, uh...
- Don't give me lip, Michael.

It's been two months.

I thought maybe you'd want to see
I was still alive.

She's got a point.

Michael.

Plus, I wanted to meet
the people you work with.

Like Rachel.

She's even more lovely
than you said.

- Lovely?
- Okay, we're done here.

Bye, dear.
I hope to see you again soon.

Me, too.
It was lovely to meet you.

Okay. Did you really have to tell Rachel
that I said she was hot?

Fine. Just let me meet
that Harold clown and I'll go.

You planned this whole thing
from the beginning, didn't you?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

You got Hanson
that job at Justice.

It's a loss for us,
but a gain for Justice.

Don't you think?

And making Louis Litt
a Senior Partner behind my back...

Is that all part of
the new Daniel Hardman era of transparency?

It was within my rights.
According to the bylaws you wrote.

Ah. Yes.

And how much did buying
his vote cost you?

Cost me?

It was earned years ago.

And your failure to promote him
is a perfect example

of how your judgment
has harmed this firm.

My judgment
and my discretion

are the only reasons your ass
didn't end up in jail five years ago.

It wasn't discretion.
It was self-interest.

You ousted me
and got the firm.

I saved you
and got the firm.

You did.

But you didn't
steal the ball from me five years ago.

I dropped it.

My lieutenant was
all you were ever meant to be.

I'm going to
offer you a deal.

Take Porter, Feldman, Gallagher.
I'll let you walk away.

Set up shop
wherever you like.

I'll waive the non-compete.

You don't have the votes.

I put you out once.

When I beat you this time,

they're going to have
to peel you off the wall.

It's nice to see you
doing your own dirty work for a change.

Unfortunately, this time,

you can't have Harvey
threaten to

tell my dying wife or my teenage daughter
about my indiscretions.

You didn't even know
about Sarah, did you?

He did what I
told him to do.

No.

You can't even control your
own attack dog.

Well, get this.

I wasn't even planning on coming back
after Alicia died.

Then, you sent him,
and I had no choice.

Bullshit.

You do what you want to do.
You always have, and you always will.

Well.
Water under the bridge.

We are where we are.

And I like where I am.

And we'll see who
peels whom off the wall.

Let me get this straight.

You realized that Daniel was pulling a move
and you confronted him?

How many times have you told me
not to poke the bear?

I didn't just poke.

- I made him an offer.
- Which he refused.

And now, he knows
we're onto Louis.

If I lose this thing
because of Louis Litt...

We are not losing.

You have a card to play
that Hardman doesn't have.

- No. No.
- Yes.

Partner bonuses
haven't gone out yet.

I'm not using
the bonuses to buy people off.

You might be
ethically against playing politics

with our firm's money,
but he isn't.

This isn't about ethics.

If I give Louis
an extra hundred thousand,

how is that going to play with
Gallo, Klyman, Reeger?

Then, do what Daniel did.
Make another Senior Partner.

We get one each per year.

I named you.

Read the bylaws,
will you?

You've got to
be kidding me.

Louis is going to be
the deciding vote.

And he better vote for me.

- No. No.
- Yes.

Harvey.
This is your chance

to prove you learned something
from that mess you made with Paul Porter.

I have nothing
to offer him.

Harvey, you've treated that man
like shit at every turn.

You are
the thorn in his side.

It is time that you
pull that thorn out.

- Here are your interrogatories.
- Ah. Thank you.

Oh, and, um,
remember, Michael.

You have to finish your homework
before you can watch TV.

Oh, right. Because my grandmother
brought me lunch,

- that makes me...
- A little boy.

And this is really
fun for you.

It really kind of is.

Are you thinking
about moving?

Uh, no. Actually, I was looking
into getting a place

in Manhattan
for my lunch lady.

And you'd really
do that for her?

I am doing it.

And it doesn't even come close
to paying her back

for everything
she's done for me.

That's, um...

That's really amazing, Mike.

- You want to know what's amazing?
- What?

This place. Right here.
Check it out.

It's pretty sweet, right?

- Off Tenth Avenue.
- Mmm-hmm.

Does it comes with
a bulletproof vest?

Um... Okay.

Uh...

There.
How about this one?

- A sixth floor walk-up.
- Great views.

Move over.

Okay.

- Wait a minute.
- Yeah.

You set all this up
so I'd help, didn't you?

Oh, I may be a little boy, but I'm
not a stupid little boy.

You're a sneaky little boy.

Show me how it goes.

Partner.
Senior Partner.

It all sounds
the same to me.

No. Mom, how many times
do I have to tell you?

Senior Partner
is the inner circle.

- It just makes you sound like an old man.
- Stop it.

And what would
you know about it, Dad?

Well, you are losing
your hair.

It's the cut.

It is not the cut.

It's the cut.

And by the way, Dad,
if you're not going to bother

to figure out where
the camera is,

maybe you should put
some freaking pants on.

I know where the camera is.
I'm not ashamed of my body.

If you felt the same way,
maybe there would be a Mrs. Litt.

Louie, I don't want to die
before I see my grandchildren.

Mom, you have
two grandchildren.

Esther's children
are not Litts.

Is that your
Mom and Dad on there?

Get out, Harvey.
I'm Skyping.

Is that Harvey Specter?

Let me speak to him. It is about time
I met your best friend.

- Was that your mom and dad?
- What's that? No.

What's this?

The address of my tailor.
Donna said you asked for it.

And what would really happen to me
if I show up at that address?

You'd get a nice suit.
One that you could wear tonight,

when I take you
out to dinner.

Donna.

What's the fun of being
Senior Partner

if you have to
keep it a secret?

And why exactly
should I dine with you?

Because you've been
waiting a long time for this.

And I want
to congratulate you.

You want to congratulate
me on becoming your peer.

- Yes.
- Say it. I'm your peer.

- You're my peer.
- We're exactly the same.

- We're exactly the same.
- Two girls saw us walking down the street,

they'd say, "Hey, those guys are twins.
Identical."

- Okay. I'm canceling.
- Okay, no, I'm in. I'm in.

I'm in. What time?

7:30.

Are you going
to be there at 7:30?

Okay. 8:00.

So, Donna tells the woman,
"I don't care who you are.

"You're not getting
my grapefruit."

- Then, what did you do?
- What could I do?

I gave her
my grapefruit.

- Thank you.
- Mmm-hmm.

This is great, Harvey.
We're like two fingers on the same hand.

As long as I'm the index.

I'm serious. This is nice. You know?
Colleagues. Equals.

- Friends.
- Well, as a friend,

I want you to
see something.

What have you got?

Five years ago, I asked you for help
to look into another firm's books.

Well, they were our books.

I helped you prove
Hardman was embezzling.

He also tried to set up
a fall guy.

Me.

A "schmuck," I believe,
was the term you used at the time.

This was five years ago,

and you're just getting
around to telling me now?

I wonder why that is.

I didn't see
the need for you to be hurt.

Right.
Because I'm your friend.

A friend tells you
the truth.

And the truth is,
Hardman used you

to hide his embezzling,
and he's using you again.

And how exactly is that different from
what you're doing right now?

- You can't trust him.
- But I can trust you?

- Yes, you can.
- Oh, please.

Did I tell Jessica about
your little Dictaphone maneuver?

No. You know
what you did?

You lorded it over
my head, said that I'd owe you,

and now,
you've come to collect.

Well, you know what?
Go ahead. Run to Mommy. Tattle.

I mean,
this was about my vote.

If I do vote for Daniel,

what is Jessica
going to do about it?

I found this one
that faces away from Lex

so she won't get
all that street noise.

And I checked
into the doormen.

Raul's been
here 14 years,

and Jimbo 17.

Jimbo?

People open up to me.

So, what do you think?

I think...

Grammy's going to love it when I tell her
she has a new place to live tonight.

Come on. You haven't even seen
the bedroom yet.

Holy shit.

I know.
It's perfect, right?

All you need
are some new curtains right here.

Yeah, the first thing
I would do is put down a nice rug.

You want to cover
the hardwood?

- Not all of it.
- So, you mean an area rug.

No. I mean cover an area
of the hardwood with a rug.

I can live with that.
Like an eight by ten sisal?

- A what-sal?
- The beige, scratchy kind.

A scratchy rug
defeats its own purpose.

It wasn't my idea
in the first place.

Fair enough.
But the bed...

The bed goes here.

Oh, my God.
You're such a guy.

If the bed
doesn't go here,

then what's the point
of even having a window?

Yeah, but your curtains
cover up the light, anyway.

No, that would be shades.
Which this room will never, ever have.

Look, just...
Come right here.

See what I mean?

Beautiful.

- I should go meet Harvey.
- It's really hot...

- Yeah.
- In here.

Nice of you to make it.

Sorry, I had this thing
with Rachel.

Oh, a date.

Isn't that special?

Not as special
as your date last night.

So, how is Louis?
What did he wear?

- Did you get any?
- Shut me down.

What? This is serious.
What are we going to do?

I don't know.
But I'll tell you one thing.

I'm not taking no
for an answer.

No way. You want me to
apologize on the air?

Why don't I just
drop my pants

and paint "clown"
on my ass?

Save that for sweeps.

I have a reputation,
Mr. Specter.

And by the way, I don't appreciate you
bashing it in court.

Look. I went to court
to win the case.

Not protect
your reputation.

Yeah. Well, it turns out
you didn't do either one.

Here's
a suggestion.

Next time, make sure
you're actually off the air

before shooting
your mouth off.

I stand by what I said.
Solis is doping.

Roger Maris got
an asterisk next to his name.

This guy deserves
an asterisk next to his name.

And I want him out
of the league.

You're not
the Commissioner of baseball.

Yeah, well, the Commissioner
could never get my ratings.

Okay, Mr. Zielinski...

Finally, someone who
treats me with respect.

We can't claim that you're just offering up
opinions anymore.

If you don't apologize,

we have to show that you have a factual
basis for accusing Solis of doping.

- Of course I did.
- Then, give us your source.

What kind of career do you think I'd have
if I give that up?

I'll tell you what.
Non-existent.

- Exactly like your source.
- Harvey, please.

Okay, that's it.
Instead of bugging me

to give up my guy
after I already told you no,

why don't you do your damn job
and win this case?

Well. Looks like
good cop-bad cop didn't work.

Actually, it did.
On me.

What are you
talking about?

If he's full of shit

and has no source,

he knows this eventually
goes against him in court.

I think Solis is doping.

Welcome to the party.

And Zielinski may
have some integrity.

I thought you said
he was a dick.

If he's actually
protecting his source,

he's a dick with a code.

His code is our problem.

If we can't find that source,
we can't fix it.

Well, forget the source.

We need to figure out how Solis
passed those tests.

How are we supposed
to do that?

Not us. You.

I'm like Zielinski?
You're like Solis.

- An All-Star.
- A cheater.

You're not going to tell
the bar association

that I deserve an asterisk,
are you?

You just gave me
a good idea.

I hope it doesn't involve you telling
the bar association

I deserve an asterisk.

Oh, a bat.

What, are you going to hit me
if I don't vote for Jessica?

No, I just wanted you to hear a story
before you decided.

Ah.

More dirt on Hardman?

The story's about
Roger Maris.

Yeah? What,
did he work for Hardman?

He used to play
for the Yankees.

He beat Babe Ruth's
home run record

with this bat.

You brought a prop.
That's really cute.

Maris did it
in a longer season.

So, no one really
gave him credit for it.

And it went down in people's minds
with an asterisk.

I see. So, it's a parable.
How literary of you.

Becoming Senior Partner
is your life's work, Louis.

You really want to buy it
with your vote?

Daniel did not condition
my partnership on anything.

Maybe. But it will
always have an asterisk.

You know what? It's like you
just can't fathom

that I actually
earned it.

Whether you earned
it or not, that's not the point.

- It's everything.
- All I am saying is...

You vote for Hardman,

everyone will see this as
quid pro quo.

Yeah. Because
you're going to tell them.

No, I won't tell them.

They'll wonder about it
all on their own.

Just like you will.

Do me a favor right now.

Take your bat and go.

Go.

Louis?

You were right at dinner.

I was using you.
And I was wrong.

But this decision...

It isn't about me.

You came up under Hardman.

You hated him.

You always hated him.

Don't let him
do this to you.

What's my alternative,
Harvey?

Jessica didn't even have
the courtesy to court my vote herself.

So, she sends you.

Well, guess what.
You failed.

So, go back right now.
You tell her.

Harvey Specter, the great closer...
Couldn't close me.

Aren't you supposed
to be off accepting the award

for world's
best grandson?

Uh... I had to cancel.

Weren't you taking
her to dinner

to tell her about the apartment
you bought for her

to make up for the fact that you don't have
time to take her to dinner anymore?

For your information,

she was happy when I called
to reschedule.

Happy to be stood up.

Happy that I have
a job that fully engages me.

There was a time she was worried
that wouldn't happen.

Despite Harvard
Law School?

No, I mean when
I was younger.

She's right that
you're really lucky

you get to do something
that challenges you.

I hope I have
that someday.

Rachel, I told you.
Whenever you want help with...

Holy shit.

You took the LSAT.
You took the LSATs?

I did.

How did you do?

Um... I don't know.

Well, Rachel, you already
did the hard part.

You took the test.
Opening the envelope is easy.

No, every other time
I've had to open the envelope.

This isn't
every other time.

Do you want me to open it?

- No.
- Yes, you do.

Okay. Um...

If I scored below 160,
then I just want you to throw it away.

And don't tell me.
I don't want to know. Okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Um... Rachel, I...

Okay.

One seventy-two.

- One seventy-two.
- You got a 172.

- Oh, my... I did. That's...
- Yes.

- Awesome.
- Oh, my God!

Oh, my... Don't you ever
do that to me again.

Rachel. You're going
to be a lawyer.

- Look. Look at it.
- Oh, my God.

Oh.

Bam.

I got it. Yeah.

I'm going to be
out of a job.

Harvey. I think
I found something.

By something, I assume you mean
how Solis was cheating.

Um... Maybe.

But I definitely figured out who
Zielinski's source is.

Well, that counts
as something.

They used a hot mic.
I used a hot mic.

What are you
talking about?

I found some footage
from a segment

that Zielinski taped
at spring training.

Now, the crew is setting up.

He's in the background
having a very intense conversation

with Ruben Hernandez.

Mediocre catcher. So?

Zielinski's a sportscaster.

Talking to athletes
is what he does all day.

This conversation
took place at Winter Park.

Hernandez should have been practicing
with his team in...

St. Pete. He never should
have been there.

And then, I remembered the roster of
every single team Solis ever played on.

- They never played together.
- Wrong. They did.

Ten games,
three years ago.

Hernandez's rookie year.

So, he got Hernandez
to take the tests for him.

Or at least
approached him.

Because Zielinski's
accusations

began one week after that tape
that I watched.

Enough time for Zielinksi to look into
whatever Hernandez told him.

And call him six times
from a company-issued cell phone.

Boom.

Look at you. Hot mic.

Using their tricks
against them.

Yeah, it's what we do.
No big deal.

Remind me to stop
teaching you my tricks.

Well, you're going
to need one of your tricks.

Because what good
does Zielinski's source do us

if he's not going
to let us go public?

Who says we have to go public?
Here's what I need you to do.

I couldn't close him.

Are you trying to tell me you couldn't
be nice to Louis even for this?

No, I'm not.

You said I'm
the thorn in his side.

I tried to take it out.
But you're the one who's had

what he's wanted
all these years

and didn't
give it to him.

Senior partnership.

You need to tell him
he deserves it.

That's what
I sent you to do.

He needs to hear
it from you.

You know, I send you
to do this one thing,

and you can't even...

Fine. I'll talk to him.

Wait a minute.

You know him.

You knew this.

This is where it
always ended up.

- You got me.
- Why send me first?

Because if Louis
didn't have to work to get me there,

he wouldn't believe me
when I went.

You're playing chess while everybody else
is playing checkers.

Are you just getting that?

Mr. "I'm the best closer
this city's ever seen"?

Hey, you're the one who always
calls me that.

Well, maybe
I shouldn't.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have to tell Louis
he deserves to be Senior Partner.

You know what? I am the best closer
this city's ever seen.

And I didn't even
make a dent.

Do you have a point?

He needs more
than just words.

I told you.
I'm not bribing him.

That's not what I meant.

His anger is deep.

He wants us to feel pain.

How?

Give him my office.

You're willing to do that?

Remember
when you questioned

if I could put
your needs above mine?

Here's your answer.

- Thanks.
- There you go.

Mr. Solis, big fan.
Can I get an autograph?

Sure, buddy.

Can you just sign it
"Roberto Solis, steroid user"?

What?

I represent
Tony Zielinski.

You can't talk to me
without my lawyer.

No, you're right.
I can't.

Go ahead
and turn me in.

And when you do, I'll tell them all about
Zielinski's source

- inside your clubhouse.
- Bullshit.

Baseball's a brotherhood.

Nobody on my team
would go public against me.

Ruben Hernandez
isn't on your team anymore.

Ruben tries ratting out
a former teammate,

no ball club in this league
will forgive him.

He might not
have a choice when we subpoena him.

No, no way.

If Zielinski is giving up Ruben,
he would have done it already.

He might not,
but I will.

You're in a run down,
Roberto.

Drop the suit and announce
your retirement from baseball.

Are you out of your mind?

You do it, Zielinski will never mention
your name on air again.

You don't?

Hernandez outs you and the whole world
knows who you are.

Louis. Got a minute?

I'm a little busy,
but sure.

I deserve that.

A little payback among
Senior Partners is fair play.

I'm listening.

I'm not going
to insult you

by beating around the bush. So, let's talk
about the elephant in the room.

What's it going to take?

My dedication to this
firm knows no limits.

And what I ask
in return...

All I ask in return
is to be valued.

For someone
to make me believe that they think

that I'm great
at what I do.

Then, we're all set.

Because I've always
felt that way.

That's not the way you made it seem
to everyone at Harvey's trial.

Louis, we were at trial.

I was trying to make my case,
same as you.

Well, you did a good job.

Because that Jessica,
I got no trouble believing.

But the Jessica that kept
stringing me along,

telling me one day,
my time would come?

Her, I've come to doubt.

I've always been straight
with you, Louis.

My message
has never wavered.

Does that include the message that you
sent to me through Harvey?

Harvey came to you first

because I wanted you to know that you are
valuable to both of us.

No. There's only an "us"
when you want something from me.

The rest of the time,
it's me on the outside looking in.

Well, you're
a Senior Partner now.

You're as on the inside
as it gets.

That's right.
Thanks to Hardman.

You think
he's valuing you.

He's buying you.

With this one thing
at this convenient time.

You don't get it.
Hardman actually sees me.

With you, I'll always
be this mushroom

in the shadow
of Harvey's tree.

What are you saying,
Louis?

I'm saying it's time
you put Harvey in my shadow.

And how exactly
would you like me to do that?

You know, I don't know.
You figure it out.

Otherwise, maybe one
of these days,

you'll see what it's like
to be in someone's shadow for a while.

You know what, Louis?

Harvey told me that
I should give you his office.

And I came in here
prepared to do just that.

But I don't
respond to threats.

And I'm not going
to buy your vote.

Because that's not
who I am.

But know this.

I will win.

And tomorrow,
after the vote,

if you are on
the wrong side,

there will be
no coming back.

When you stole from this firm,
did you do anything to cover your tracks?

I should have known they
had this in their pocket.

So, you don't deny it.

I wouldn't insult
your intelligence.

I'm sure they came
to you armed with proof.

And you followed
the numbers better than I ever could.

Why?

The best I can offer you
is that it wasn't personal.

It was just that,
given your financial expertise,

I thought you
would seem plausible.

Plausible.

Obviously, my plan
was that nobody would notice

the money was missing
in the first place.

So, I was plan "B."

I suppose so, Louis.
I'm sorry.

You're sorry.

Do you realize you could have destroyed
my entire career?

Maybe even sent me
to prison.

And you know what?

I didn't care.

That's the truth.

And you want me
to vote for you?

Did you like me
back then?

I didn't.

The man I was five years ago
shouldn't be Managing Partner.

He shouldn't even
work here.

But I'm not that man.

If you think otherwise,
don't vote for me.

Right.

And if I don't support you,
what happens to my senior partnership?

Do you think my making you
Senior Partner

is conditioned on
my having your vote?

- Wasn't it?
- Louis, I'm disappointed.

I'm disappointed you think
so little of yourself.

I saw the way you
dominated Jessica

at Harvey's trial
and lost because of some trick.

You thought I dominated?

I offered you what
I thought you deserved.

No more, no less.

I asked for nothing in return
but that you vote your conscience.

Louis.
Don't doubt yourself.

I've got good news.

Solis has not only agreed
to drop the suit,

but to retire from
the game, as well.

Well, maybe you're not the asshole
I thought you were.

I'm not done yet.

In return,

you're never going to talk about him
again on the air.

So, he walks away
with his reputation intact?

That's the deal.

No, no, no, no.
You know I'm right.

And you want me to step off the gas
right when I've got him?

Screw that.

You want to know
how I know you're right?

Mike?

I believe you know
Ruben Hernandez.

You said you wouldn't tell anyone
I was your source.

- I didn't tell them. I didn't.
- Bullshit.

Mike,
get him out of here.

I promise we'll fix this.
Come on.

You son of a bitch. You're supposed
to be on my side.

This is me being
on your side.

You make me win
this in court,

I'll have to do it
by making Ruben testify.

So, the cost of ruining
Solis' reputation

will be that kid's career.

And by the way, everyone will think
the same as he does.

You gave him up
to save your own ass.

- That's a lie.
- Doesn't matter.

They'll think it anyway.

But hey, that's just
one man's opinion.

You want to
protect your source?

Take the deal.

- So?
- He took the deal.

We're done
with that asshole.

Asshole? Come on.

He was just protecting
the Church of Baseball.

- You going Bull Durham on me?
- Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I'm Tim Robbins,

the hotshot pitcher
who's destined for the majors.

And you're that old man
who never really made it there.

You know Robbins wore women's underwear
in that movie, right?

Yeah. After he slept
with Susan Sarandon.

Good one.

But if you ever call
Kevin Costner an old man again,

- you won't get another bonus.
- Okay.

Whoa, my God. Bonus.

Harvey, I'm sorry.
I've got to go see my grandmother.

Fine. Go.

I wouldn't want her to
think I was a hard-ass.

Did you get rid
of that libel case?

Score one for a free press.

Good to see you
back in stride.

When was I ever off?

Jessica,
do you have a moment?

Of course, Louis.

Harvey,
will you give us a sec?

Oh, please.
What, are you kidding?

Not like there's any secrets
between you two.

Well. We're listening.

I'm presenting
my partnership buy-in check

to you in your current capacity
as Managing Partner.

Current?

Oh, is that your cryptic
way of asking about my vote?

You kept me waiting
five years.

You can wait
another 24 hours.

Surprise.

Rachel.

Hey. What are you doing here?
Come in.

Mike?

Someone kept
calling the office for you.

It was the nursing home,
and...

I guess... I guess that's
the emergency number they had.

Um, what?

It's your grandma.

She passed away.

No. No, she's...

I'm so sorry.

She didn't even
get to see... To see...

I know. I'm...
I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.
