NARRATOR:

LOUIS:
Okay, people, listen up!

A new attorney has joined us.
Faye Richardson.

FAYE:
You want me gone, there's only
one way to make that happen.

Convince me you people
can be trusted to fly right.

I want you to find a loophole
in the Bar's bylaws

I can use to force them
to remove her.

I come here and give you
a chance to clean up your act,

but I find out the managing
partner wants me gone so badly,

he ordered someone to hack
the New York Bar.

You don't understand.
She knew before I even told her.

Bullshit!
You are fired.

You had no right
to ask him that. Right?

Right.

You're just agreeing
because you don't want her

to be mad at you
now you're in a relationship.

You may be special master,
but I'm managing partner.

That gives me
certain rights--

You're not managing partner
anymore.

Effective immediately.

You're stripped of
your title

and all the duties
that go with it.

Here. This might take
the edge off.

Okay, Sheila?
I just got demoted.

It's the worst thing
that's happened to me.

How is a cup of rooibos
going to take the edge off?

Just drink it.

Good. Now, I have to ask.

Is this really the worst thing
that's ever happened to you?

Because as I recall,
you didn't even want

managing partner
when Donna asked you.

Because she asked me
the night

I found out
you were pregnant.

It was the only time
in my life

I would've said
I didn't want the job.

Did you actually
enjoy it once you had it?

You know I did.
Really?

Trying to manage
your best friend,

accepting Brian Altman's
resignation,

taking Robert Zane's
name off the wall.

You said you fell
in love with me

because I was a lion.

Now I'm just a house cat
with his balls cut off.

Louis.
Hear what I said?
I'm a ball-less cat.

When are we getting
another cat?

I'll tell you when.
Never.

You said you'd be open
to a hairless.

That was said
in a vulnerable moment.

Louis, the point is,

it's not the end
of the world,

and this isn't going
to last forever.

Sheila, I know the job
wasn't sunshine and rainbows,

but I was getting
really good at it.

And I don't know how long

I can keep going to work,
not being in charge.

Hey.
Hey.

Couldn't help but notice
you didn't come over last night.

I know.
Did you also know
that's the first night

we haven't spent
together since--

I did.

Donna, what's going on?

I didn't know how to make sense
of you taking my side with Louis

when you didn't agree
with me.

I thought you would like that.
Well, I don't.

I don't want you saying things
that you don't believe.

And I wanna know
why you did it.

I guess because I was afraid
you'd be mad at me

Well, that's never stopped
you before.

Because before
we weren't together.

Oh, my God.

Of course, Harvey,
I'm not gonna leave you.

And I'm certainly not
gonna leave you

over something
that happens here.

I don't want something
that happens here

to be the reason we don't spend
the night together.

Neither do I.

I guess we're just gonna have
to figure out a way

to make sure that our work
doesn't intrude on our lives.

Well, what if I said

we could start by going out
one night a week, just us,

and talk about anything
but this place?

I'd say
that's a great idea.

What?

Where did you
get this idea

for the once-a-week-dinner
thing?

All right, look,
once in a while,

not on a regular basis,

I like to watch Oprah
in the mornings

No way.

It can't be that.
I'm not buying it.

I'm serious, Donna,

you'd be surprised
how common a problem it is

for couples to strike
the right work-life balance.

Who are you?
Look,

I know things about you too.

Does the word "Albuquerque"
mean anything to you?

I told you that
in confidence,

and for you to bring
that up now is--

You see, I got you.
I hate to interrupt, but you

need to drop what you're doing
and see Louis.

What is it,
Gretchen?

Faye stripped him
of managing partner last night.

Oh, my God.

We need to go to him
right now.

No, you go to him.

I need to go see Faye.

Isn't it enough
you took his firm?

You had to take
his title too?

I take it
you heard about Louis.

You're damn right,
and this isn't gonna stand.

It is because
he instructed a subordinate

to hack the New York Bar.

He said he didn't order
Benjamin to do that,

and I believe him.
I don't care.

He tried to fire the man
when he got caught,

that's unacceptable.

Damn it,
not everybody has to do

everything by your book.

And what you're still failing

to comprehend is that
if you choose

to disobey me,
there'll be consequences.

You want consequences,
I'll give you consequences.

What's that
supposed to mean?

It means Louis may not be
managing partner anymore,

but I'm sure as hell
not answering to you.

Louis, I just heard.

Good for you.
I don't wanna talk about it.

Okay, then why don't you
tell me what you're gonna do?

I got demoted, Donna,
there's nothing I can do.

And I'd rather not
dwell on it.

So unless you want
to get Harvey so you

can gang up on me again,

I would rather be alone.

Louis.

We didn't gang up on you.

What the hell
would you call it?

A mistake. If it makes
you feel any better,

I already spoke
to Harvey

because you weren't
the only one upset

about him siding with me.
Why would that upset you?

My sister turned every man she
was ever with into a doormat,

but that's not the point.
You have a sister?

Not the point either,
Louis.

She's older. I don't
wanna talk about her.

What I want to say is
that what happened

will never happen again.

I don't want our relationship
to affect how we treat you.

You really mean that?

I do.

And, Louis, if you ever
need me or Harvey

during any of this Faye
bullshit, we are here for you.

SAMANTHA:
Hey.

You hear about Louis?
Of course I did.

It's all over the firm.

Well?
Well, what?

What are we gonna do?

We're not gonna
do anything.

Because doing whatever you're
thinking of got us in this mess.

Are you trying
to put this on me?

I am aware that you are not
the reason she is here.

Now that she is,
I'm not gonna

make things worse by doing
more unethical shit.

What if we come up
with a way

to get her out
on the up and up?

What kind of way?

I don't know,
but we are lawyers.

We ought to come up
with something.

You're a lawyer? I thought
all you did was sashay in,

tell someone you got 'em
and make 'em do what you want.

Well, that was my major,

but I have been known
to open a book or two.

Look, Alex, I have grown
really fond of Louis.

He's gotta be hurting.

What do you say
we at least give it a try?

Okay, Samantha. I'm in.

Mr. Spector.

I agreed to meet with you,
but the last person

I need right now
is another lawyer.

Please, call me Harvey.

And the last person
you need is another asshole

whose agenda is at odds
with your own.

And what agenda is that?

Look, you didn't want
this takeover, but your board

used your own law firm
to push it through anyway.

How do you know that?
I know what it's like

to have the house you built
get handed over to someone else.

It just so happens
the people doing it to you

are related to the woman
doing it to me.

So you're saying don't hire you
because you care about me,

do it because we share
a common enemy?

You want your lawyer
to give you a hug

or to get the job done?

I want my goddamn
company back.

Then the first thing
we need to do

is put the brakes on this sale
by suing the board.

The CEO can't sue
his own company.

As CEO, no, he can't.

As a shareholder, he can.

Seems like you put
a lot of thought into this

before you came
to see me.

Think what I'll do
once you officially hire me.

What do you say?

I say start drafting
that suit.

Took care of that
before I got here too.

Dan, we do this,

they're not gonna take
it lying down.

I need to know
you're all in.

I'm already losing control
of my company,

what else
have I got to lose?

Katrina,
do you have a moment?

Actually, Susan,
this isn't a great time.

I'm neck deep in--

The VersaLife case.

I know.

Well, you probably don't know
that this firm

nearly lost VersaLife once
because of me,

and I'm not about
to let it happen again.

All the more reason
to let me help you.

Help me?

You've been
working without

an associate
ever since Brian resigned.

You thought if you
fill Brian's shoes,

I would take you
as my associate.

Something like that.

Well,
I appreciate you

putting yourself
out there,

but I've got this handled.

Look, in your discovery,

there's an e-mail
from your CEO

to his board about
their stock tanking.

I know that,

but it was after
it had already started.

The original date
was whited out.

See?

You can tell.

It's not a smoking gun--

We need to be able
to explain it.

Good find, Susan.

If you hadn't caught that,
we would have been in trouble.

We?

Does that mean
we're working together?

It means
I'm giving you a chance.

SAUL:
Louis.

I'm so glad you were able
to have the time to come out.

Honestly, Your Honor, I could
use the time out of the office.

Don't start with
the "Your Honor" crap, okay?

I'm here as your friend.

Okay, then, Saul,

old friend.

Let's get to it.
What kind of trouble you in?

Louis, I'm not here
about my troubles,

I'm here about yours.

What're you talking about?

You remember when we were back
at Harvard, and you, uh--

You charted out
your whole career?

Partner in a top law firm,
check.

Get my name on the wall,
check.

And then once
I've done all that...

become a judge.

But what does that
have to do with anything?

It has to do with the fact that
Amy Janon's seat is opening up,

and you'd be the perfect person
to replace her.

Saul, are you offering
me a judgeship?

I am.

This has something to do with
Faye Richardson, doesn't it?

Damn it.
Louis.

Your ship is sinking.
You shouldn't go down with it.

Saul, that is bullshit.

I can weather this storm,
and I don't need your charity.

It's not charity.

You're the best lawyer
I ever worked with.

And normally, I'd say, "Don't
worry. It'll come around again."

But you come out on the
wrong side of this Faye thing,

and the only robe you're ever
gonna wear is the one

that's hanging
in your bathroom.

What the hell is this?

It's a recusal form
for you to sign.

It turns out I got a case

against your old firm
and make no mistake,

I'm taking it.
I get it.

You don't think I've embraced
this firm. Well, I have.

So as long as you conduct
yourself aboveboard,

I won't just sign.
I'll be rooting for you.

Bullshit. You'll root for people
who embraced your system,

but it won't matter,
because after I kick their ass,

the world's gonna know
my system's better.

And what system is that?

The one where you play

by whatever rules suit you?

If that's what
you're gonna use to win--

I'll tell you
what I'm gonna use.

Whatever
I fucking have to.

Then I'll be forced
to remind you,

you cross one line,
you'll be out on your ass.

I don't need to cross
any lines, Faye.

You de-balled
these guys so much,

all I had to do
was threaten a lawsuit,

and they're shaking
in their boots.

So unless you're here
to take my title

like you took Louis',
we're done.

I'll be watching you.

Enjoy the show.

LOUIS:
Sheila?

I wanna talk to you
about something.

You're probably
gonna hear it anyway,

but I want you
to hear it from me.

What is it, Louis?

I was offered a judgeship,
and I turned it down.

You turned down
a judgeship

without even discussing
it with me?

Louis, being a judge
has always been your dream.

I know that,

but a judge makes a fifth
of what I do,

and we have a child
on the way.

Not to mention
my firm is in trouble.

I don't wanna leave
my friends in the lurch.

If they were
your friends,

they wouldn't ask you
to turn this down.

They didn't ask me
because I didn't tell them.

You didn't tell
me about it either.

What is going on?
Where is this coming from?

I went to Saul, Louis.

You did what?

You said you didn't
know how long

you could keep going
not being in charge.

So you fabricated
a judgeship for me?

I didn't fabricate
anything.

Every time I see the man,
he says you belong on the bench.

When I went to him, Louis,

he was overjoyed.

He was?
He was.

Louis, Saul said
if things don't work out,

you will never
get this chance again.

All I'm asking is for you
to think about it.

Okay, Sheila,
I'll sleep on it.

Mm. I got it.
Then lay it on me.

We've been at this for hours,
and I'm about to give up.

Okay. Look here. If the
presence of a special master

causes significant harm to
a firm, they can be removed.

But she hasn't
caused any harm.

She hasn't caused
any harm yet.

But if all of a sudden
a client left,

said it was her fault,

then that started
an avalanche--

What are you
talking about?

I'm talking about
going to Gavin Andrews,

getting him to leave--
Are you crazy?

Just hear me out.
No.

Inducing a client to leave

isn't Faye causing us harm,

it's us causing us harm.

He'd come back.
I don't care.

This discussion is over.

It's one little thing
to get her out of our lives.

It's not a little thing,
it's conspiracy.

It sure isn't on the up and up
like you agreed to.

I don't believe it. When
did you become such a coward?

Excuse me?
You had
Katrina pretend to be me,

and you did that because
you had the balls to win.

And if I say yes because you
call me a coward, then I am one.

So do what you want,
but I'm not fuckin' doing it.

And neither should you.

I have to say, we may end up
getting totally screwed on this,

but...Susan, you have really
done your research.

Thank you.
That means a lot to me.

Can I ask your advice
on something?

It's kind of personal.

Of course, Susan,
what is it?

So there's this paralegal.

He's smart and funny,
and he and I just click.

I've certainly seen
that happen before.

I just-- I know how closely
you worked with Brian,

and I guess I wanna know how
you kept things professional.

I don't want to get into
me and Brian, Susan.

But if you want my advice,

I'd find
a different paralegal.

Thanks.

All right.
Let's get back to this.

Actually, I had an idea.

Lead counsel on the other side
is a longtime family friend.

What if I could
convince her to settle?

That's why you picked
this case, isn't it?

Because you thought
you could use

your connections
to impress me.

There's nothing wrong with

taking advantage
of an opportunity

No. You're right.
There isn't.

But...in this
particular instance,

what you're proposing
isn't going to work.

But how do you know?

Because I know.

But--
Susan.

Being an associate means
knowing when to drop it.

Show me you can do that.

If it pleases the court,
I would like to tell a story

about a noble ship's captain,

a villainous pirate
by the name of Faye Pooperson,

and a foul miscarriage
of justice.

Objection. Your Honor,
he's testifying.

And my name
isn't Pooperson.

Richardson, Pooperson.
What's the difference?

It's unorthodox,
but I'll allow it.

You're just him
in a wig.

A wig, if I may say,
you are rocking, Your Honor.

If I weren't married,
I'd be all over that.

I bet he's so much
better than Harvey.

I am. Please proceed.

Paragraph five
of the nautical code states

that a captain shall not
relinquish command

to a party of pirates.

If anyone here is a pirate,
it's him.

And I am the British navy
in this situation.

Objection,
she's hijacking my metaphor.

Sustained. Ms. Pooperson,

this is your only warning.

He hasn't even
called a witness.

She does have a point.

I don't need a witness
to prove my case

to this jury
of my peers.

Did he say peers?

I know. Can you
believe this guy?

I think we've heard enough.

Mr. Forman, has the jury
reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

We find the defendant
guilty on all charges.

As if there was any question.

Mrs. Richardson,

I hereby sentence you to death.

Death? I don't even know
what I'm on trial for.

And that's the beauty
of this whole thing.

Bailiff, take her away.

With pleasure.

Well done.
Well done.

For the record,
I meant what I said

about him being
better than Harvey.

BOTH:
That's so true.
That's so true.

So true. So true.

There were really 12 Harveys?

I know, right?
It was fantastic.

Maybe Sheila's right.

Maybe I should say yes.

I'd be in charge, and no one'd
ever push me around.

True, but--
Stan, a jury of Harveys

found in my favor. Don't tell me
you're gonna shit on this.

Louis.

I'm sorry.

But I must point out

that your dream was filled
with the people you work with.

You are envisioning yourself
in a fantasy world

still surrounded by them.

What's your point?

My point is

if you take the job,

they will not
be there with you.

Oh, God.

This whole time,
I was worried about

what they'd
do without me.

I hadn't thought about what
I'd do without them.

And if you do think
about that?

I think
they're everything to me,

and I don't
wanna go anywhere.

Donna, good.
I was hoping you were in,

because I need
a little help.

Sure, Faye, with what?

You want me
to tell Alex

he's an associate now?

I take it you
don't like

my decision
regarding Louis.

Dislike is
one of the ways

of describing
my feelings for you.

I doubt you want to hear others.
Then I'll get to it.

Whether you like it or not,
I am acting manager partner,

which means I have
a full plate and no help.

I need a secretary.

You want me
to be your secretary?

I need you to help me
get through the next few days,

and according to everyone,
you were the best secretary

this firm ever had.

I was the best secretary
any firm ever had,

which is one of the reasons
I am now COO.

I know you think
this is below your pay grade--

It is below my pay grade,

but more importantly,
it sends a message

that I am more valuable
as your lackey

than in my real position.

I've had it with
talking about messages.

The only message
I'm getting is "Go to hell."

So if you're as loyal
to this firm as you say you are,

then accept
I need you to do this.

And if I don't?

Are you going to demote me

like you did to Louis?

Louis used his position

to coerce borderline
illegal behavior.

I'm asking you
to manage some files.

I can demote, if you refuse.

Does it really need
to come to that?

You'll have your files taken
care of by the end of the day.

Thank you.

Hey.

Can I come in?

If I say no, you gonna say

it's because I'm a coward?

Alex.

I am so sorry.

I should not have said
what I said.

I know
it's not an excuse,

but I just have really been
off-kilter since Robert left.

It might not be an excuse,
but it's an explanation.

And I hope
I'm not overstepping,

but I think I know
what you need right now.

What do you mean?

If things aren't going well

in one part of my life,
I try to look to another.

Usually, that other part
is family.

Are you trying
to adopt me?

Let's take it one step
at a time.

Why don't you come over
to the house for dinner?

It may not be the answer
to your problems,

but Rosalie's
been asking about you.

Joy loves you.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I think
it'll be fun for you.

Though if it goes like
our lunch with Rosalie,

it sure as shit
won't be fun for me.

You know what I meant.

I did.

You in?

I'd love to.

Thank you, Alex.

Dan, hey.
Did you see the--?

DAN :
What the hell
have you been doing?

What we said I'd do.

Suing them is one thing,

but you took out
a full-page ad

saying they're endangering the
entire future of the company.

Dan, you said you'd stick
with the plan.

If a thing like this
is gonna rattle you--

DAN:
It didn't rattle me.

It rattled them.
It's a little difficult

to stick it out
when I've been fired.

What? They can't do that
in the middle of litigation.

Well, they did.
Even if I win this thing,

I won't get my company back.

Listen to me.
It's not over, I can fix it.

DAN:
Fix it, because if I lose
everything from all this,

instead of suing the board,
I'll be suing you.

HARVEY:
You're not gonna
believe this shit.

Harvey--
I got a call from Dan Foley.

They fired him. And now
he's threatening to sue me.

And I'm sorry,
but now I don't have time.

I just told you
I almost got--

But you didn't,
and you aren't the only one

sick of that woman.
What?

She had the nerve
to ask me to be her secretary.

So I'm sorry your case
isn't going well,

but I don't--
Where are you going?

I'm gonna go and tell her

she can do her own work.
You're not her servant.

I don't need you
to fight my battles for me.

And you said
we shouldn't let

what happens here
come between us.

It's coming between us,
and I'm gonna put a stop to it.

You're right.
I did say that.

The way to keep Faye
from coming between us

isn't fighting her.

It's using your idea.

What're you talking about?

We're gonna go out
for dinner,

and we're gonna talk about
anything but this place.

Donna, my client
just got fired.

And he's still gonna
be fired in three hours,

but if I know you,
if you clear your head,

he might not
be fired in four.

So, what do you say?

I say I'm in the mood
for Italian.

Absolutely. Thank you.

Katrina,
you wanted to see me?

I didn't just wanna
see you, Susan.

I want to know why
you willfully

disregarded me by contacting
your family friend.

I know you
asked me not to--

No, Susan.

I told you not to.

Because not only
is it unprofessional,

it's as much as telling
them they have us.

I'm sorry, I was
only trying to help us win.

No, you were trying
to help yourself,

and that is the last thing
I need in an associate.

You're off this case.

I think
you should reconsider.

And why would
I ever do that?

Because I know why
Brian really left.

What did you just say to me?

I said a senior partner
and a married associate

were working closely together,
working nights together,

until suddenly he up and left
with no explanation.

No job lined up.

Susan, you do not
want to do this.
Do what?

Point out things went too far,
and you bought his silence

by giving him one
of your clients?

Brian Altman left
because he decided

it was best for his family.

Yeah, I bet he did.

Well, unless you want
Faye Richardson

to suddenly be made aware
of the situation,

you'll make me your associate
by the end of the week.

Donna, there you are.

No, Gretchen, there I go,
because I'm just on my way out.

You might want to stop
by Faye's office first,

she's looking for you.

Listen, do me a favor,

and don't tell her
you ran into me.

What's going on, Red?

She asked me to do
some secretarial work for her,

and I didn't finish it.

I have a dinner
at Quattro Gatti,

and I absolutely
cannot move it.

Which means you need somebody
to run interference

while you and Harvey
get your smush face on.

That's right. I said it.

Wait, you know
about me and Harvey?

Please, you think Louis
can keep his mouth shut?

I asked him what
he wanted for lunch,

and he blurted out,
"Harvey and Donna did it."

Did he really do that?

Might as well have.

I'm happy for you, Donna.

So you go on
out to dinner.

I'll take care of whatever
Miss High-and-Mighty needs.

No, I couldn't ask you
to do that for me.

You're not asking,
I'm telling.

Don't worry.

I'll be so good
to that woman,

she won't even think
to ask where you are.

Thank you, Gretchen.

I owe you one.

Hey, you.
Girl with coffee.

Any idea where Gretchen is?
I'm sorry. I don't.

If you see her, tell her
I've been looking for her.

I know where she is.
Jesus Christ.

I've been looking for you.

She's working for me
on a temporary basis.

Say that again
because my ears

are a little
clogged with rage.

She did some work for me.
It was excellent.

Clone her because you're not
taking my secretary.

I didn't want
your secretary, Louis.

I asked Donna
to handle my work,

but she pawned it off
on Gretchen, and here we are.

I don't care what Donna did,
you have no right to do this.

Louis, if you just
calm down, I assure you

once I get up and running,
you can have her back.

And if I don't calm down?

You know, I hear that a lot,
"And if I don't?"

Well, not everything's
a threat, Louis,

but if you insist
on making it one,

I promise you'll find
what you're looking for.

Oh, isn't this nice?

Where the hell is Donna?

Calm down. I'm not gonna
be here forever.

You're not gonna be here at all.
It doesn't take a genius

to figure out she went
for a tryst.

You got stuck
holding the ball,

I'm getting her back
in here.

It wasn't a tryst,
and I didn't get stuck.

I volunteered.
Why the hell would you do that?

They're starting
a new relationship.

If you cared about them,
you'd leave them alone.

Are you telling me
they couldn't pick up the phone?

They probably didn't even see
the call. They're out together.

Can't you understand that?

Gretchen, I have endured more
humiliation in the last week

than I ever thought
was possible.

Donna specifically
told me that

she would not let her
relationship

get in the way
if I needed support.

On a scale
from one to 10,

how much support
do you think I need now?

Okay, Louis, I'm gonna tell
you where they are.

But I think you should
let it go until tomorrow.

The thing that really sets me
off is her holier-than-thou act.

I mean, nobody is that
goody two shoes.

Yeah, well,
what if she is?

What if Bill Buckner
would've fielded that ball?

Okay. I don't know
who that is,

but it is time
we change the subject.

We said no work talk, and we
spent half a bottle of wine

on Faye Richardson.
You're right.

Let's talk about something else.
Anything else.

Water's pretty good.
Yeah. It's wet.

It's-- It's very wet.

So have you read
any good books lately?

Books?

That's the best you've got?
Water and books?

Hey, I don't see you
holding up your end.

"Water is wet"?

Who says that?
I know. I got flustered.

And I mean, who wouldn't?

We have spent
almost every minute

of every day together
for 15 years,

and now we can't think
of a single thing to say.

What if that's it?

What if we're all out of things
to say to each other?

That's what you say to me

when I'm worried
we have nothing to say?

What is wrong with you?

Oh, my God.
What?

You reminded me of
Ricky Garfield's mom.

He was new in town.
I was 16 years old.

I went over his house,
and there she was.

Beautiful redhead.

Had a crush on her
from the second I saw her.

I just realized you've
always reminded me of her.

What?

It's nice to know
that there are

still things
I get to find out about you.

I like that.

How about you
tell me something

I don't know about you?

Alex, thank you
for inviting me to your home.

This is exactly
what I needed.

I sure as hell
couldn't take you

bowling like
I did with Louis.

You took Louis bowling?
How did that go?

You'd be surprised.

He bowled
a perfect game.

Get out.
I shit you not.

All I had to do was
help tap into his rage.

I can see that. A few months ago
we confronted his mugger.

He turned into
a wild animal.

Well, look who decided
to show up.

And perfect timing.
I've got Chinese.

Samantha,
you can have Debbie's seat.

She's got tap tonight.

I was looking forward
to meeting her.

Because if she's half

as cool as her sister--
She's not.

Nothing like the love
of a sibling.

Hey, babe,
I saw your bumper.

Want me to take
your car in tomorrow?

What are you
talking about?

Have you not seen
the back of your car?

Looks like you hit
a yellow water buffalo.

Well, that's interesting.

Because the last person
to drive the car was Joy.

Don't look at me.
Maybe somebody backed into you.

Joy, what happened?

Fine. I hit a pole
in the parking garage.

It's not a big deal.

The big deal
is you hoping

we wouldn't notice until

long after
you'd driven the car.

I-- I wasn't thinking that.

I didn't want you
to be mad.

And we wouldn't have been,
but we are now.

You have two choices.
You pay for it

or you're not driving
anywhere for a month.

That's so unfair.

Fair or not,

that's the way
it's gonna be.

Now, let's all sit down

and try to still
have a pleasant evening.

I'm just saying, it's not
unusual for a person

to think that
after they've had one.

You thought you'd been poisoned
by a peppercorn.

A Szechuan peppercorn.

And I didn't think
that it poisoned me,

I thought someone
had poisoned me.

Haven't you had one?
The pertinent question

isn't whether I've had them.

It's what did you do
to deserve getting poisoned?

Well, that is neither
here nor there.

I knew it.
You're a black widow.

If I was a black widow,

I'd be the one
doing the poisoning.

You know too much about this.
I'm breaking up with you.

Good. I think this whole thing
has run its course.

Holy shit.

Clearing my head
really did help.

And I think I know
why they fired Dan.

And I think I know what
I'm gonna do about it.

Then let's go do it.

No. Not until tomorrow.

Tonight is for us.

You know, I think
you might be

getting the hang
of this whole dinner thing.

Telling me old stories.

Making me feel...

Oh, shoot. It's Louis.
Maybe I should get it.

Donna, the whole point
of tonight was just us.

I know, but after
the whole Faye thing,

I promised
we'd be there for him.

If there's an emergency,
he'll leave a voicemail.

You can call him right back.

Good. Now, we are gonna
pay the check,

and then I'm gonna go home,
and I'm gonna be young Harvey,

and you are gonna
be Ricky Garfield's mom.

You're in early.

I usually am.

What can I do for you?

I had dinner last night
with Alex and his family.

And it reminded me

the closest
I have to family

are the people
at this firm.

I never thanked you

for standing up to me
with Lucas. So...

thank you.

Speaking of standing up,

I stood up to you
more than once.

How did you know when

to give in to me
and when not to?

Every time you stood
up to me, I backed down.

Because you were
in the right.

So I guess the question is,
are you in the right?

I am in the right.

The problem is,
the person standing up to me

has information
I don't want coming out.

Well, I can't tell you
the answer, Katrina.

But I can tell you,
whoever it is,

if you give them an inch,
they will take a mile.

You fired him,
didn't you?

What?

You ran Johnson and Powell

when Dan Foley's contract
was written.

There was a clause
that allowed them

to fire him
during litigation.

You had them pull the trigger.
Are you out of your mind?

You didn't have a conversation
with them about me?

Excuse me?
Right there.

A 15-minute call with you
and Johnson and Powell,

not two hours
after you and I spoke.

You dug into
my phone records?

Answer my question,
or we'll do it in a deposition.

Did you talk
to them about me?

I have a subpoena
right here.

And Faye,
it isn't gonna look good

having an ethics expert
lie under oath.

Okay, you're right,
you got to me.

You pissed me off so much,

I was rooting
for you to lose.

But unlike you,
I wouldn't act on that.

Then how do you explain
the call?
Easily.

I didn't call them,
they called me.

And the reason they did was
to say what an asshole you were.

It was a 15-minute
phone call.

They had plenty
to say on the matter.

But what they didn't do
was ask for my help.

Because if they had,
my next call would have

been to the New York Bar.
Bullshit.

Then subpoena me.

I'll be happy to say
all that under oath.

And while you're at it,
subpoena Johnson and Powell.

They'll say the same thing.
And then, maybe you'll realize

all you accomplished
by taking this case

was getting Dan Foley fired.

Susan, do you mind
coming with me?

I take it you thought about
what we discussed?

I did.

If you're going
to be my associate,

you'll need an office.

We just need
to get it approved.

Katrina.
I've had a bit of long morning,

so whatever it is--

This will just
take a minute.

I know you run
a tight ethical ship.

And Susan has something

she would like to bring
to your attention.

I'm listening.

Susan's too modest
to toot her own horn,

so I will.

We were working
on the VersaLife case together

when Susan made a mistake.

Doesn't sound like something
to toot your horn about.

It wasn't the mistake,
it's what she did afterwards.

Susan came to me
and owned up to what she did.

Is this true?

Yes. It is.

Then it's nice to know
the culture here

hasn't corrupted everyone.

Was there something else?

Susan?

No, nothing else.

Then keep up
the good work.

Louis, whatever it is,
now is not a great time.

I'm sure.
It never seems to be.

I thought you should
be first to know.

Know what?

I'm leaving.

To take a judgeship.

Now? You're leaving now?

It's not great timing--
Are you kidding me?

How could you
do this to us?

We're in the middle of a war.

A war that has cost me
my title and my dignity.

And I keep waiting for
the shoes to finish dropping,

but they keep raining down.

Then let it rain.
You can fight this.

Don't you get it?
I'm not you.

I'm not the guy
it works out for.

You don't need to be me.
No, I don't.

But I don't even have you

in my goddamn corner anymore.

Louis.
You know what? Fine.

You want the truth?

I can take every
last humiliation

that woman can dish out.

But the thing
that I can't take is

you and Donna
laughing at me.

What are you talking about?
I saw you.

I went to your restaurant
last night.

I saw you see it was me calling,
you sent it to voicemail,

and you started laughing.

We weren't laughing at you.

We agreed not
to let work intrude.

So we didn't answer,

and then I made a joke
about something else.

Swear to me that's true.
I swear.

Louis.

I'm in your corner.

But you didn't even
come see me.

Because I've been
fighting for you.

I get that, Harvey.

But the truth is...

I'd rather you just
come sit with me

than go tilting
at windmills.

Windmills?
What are you talking about?

It's Man of La Mancha--
Why do I even?

I should have come to you,
Louis.

I just didn't know what to say,
because I couldn't stand

what she was doing
to my friend.

So if you wanna become
a judge, I understand.

It's just we've been through
so much together.

Please, don't let me
tilting at wind chimes

be the thing
that pulls us apart.

It's windmills.

Windmills. Whatever.

I was wondering
when you'd show up.

How did you know I wouldn't tell
Faye about you and Brian?

I didn't.

I just knew I'd rather
you tell her

than find out what
you'd be like in six months.

Then why not
just turn me in?

Because I was ambitious
when I first got here too.

And ambition
isn't a bad thing, Susan.

But it can't be
all you have.

Alex, do you have a sec?

Yes. And before
you say anything,

I'm sorry about last night.
It's not what I had in mind.

Actually...

I came here
to thank you for it.

Come on, Samantha.

I know my daughter.

It was terrible.
It wasn't terrible.

It was family, and it was
exactly what I needed.

Well, if that's what
you needed,

you're in worse shape
than I thought.

I decided to find out who
my biological parents are.

What?

I wasn't gonna tell you.

But you're being
such a dipshit,

I thought you should know.

Even watching you fight

made me appreciate what
a wonderful family you have.

And then I got to
thinking how Joy

is so much a cross
between you and Rosalie.

And I thought...

I have to know.

So all I have to do
is be a dipshit

and you'll show me
your soft side?

Worked for Robert.

Thank you for trusting me
with that, Samantha.

It means a lot.

Means a lot to me too.

Thanks for having me over.

DONNA:
Okay, wait.
Let me get this straight.

His mankini was your idea?

SHEILA:
You'd be surprised
how constriction

increases virility
in the bedroom.

That is an unwanted fact.

Donna.

What are you doing here?
She came over to say how much

she wants you
to stay at the firm.

I'll admit, at first,
I wasn't in favor.

But then I told her that Harvey
and I would never leave you.

Then I guess it's a good thing
I already decided to stay.

You did?

I did.

Well, now that I
don't have to spend

the rest of my night
begging,

there really is just
one thing for us to do.

Are you saying
what I think you're saying?

I am.

Girl's night.

Oh, my God.
It's really happening.

Are we watching Dirty Dancing?
Or start with I Never?

Doesn't matter to me.
Just choose fast.

I go to bed early, and I'll pee
10 times between now and then.

Including in about
five seconds.

Go.
It's your call, Louis.

Because tonight,
you are the most

important woman
in the room.

Donna, that is the nicest thing
you've ever said to me.

Dirty Dancing it is.

Faye, funny running
into you.

You appear to be
in fine spirits.

That's because someone
recently reminded me

I'm the guy
it always works out for.

Your modesty
is astounding.

It isn't about modesty,
it's about character.

You see, Faye, the reason
things always work out for me

isn't that I sometimes
cross lines.

It's the relationship
I have with people.

What did you do?

I went to Kevin Miller.
He's an old friend of mine.

I told him he'd be a fool
to pass up

an opportunity
to buy SensaTech.

I also told him he'd be a fool
not to hire back the man that

built that company
from scratch.

And what exactly
did you do

for Mr. Miller
to become his friend?

I got him out of a jam.

Like the way I'm willing
to let you out of one.

Excuse me?

Johnson and Powell
remain SensaTech's counsel.

You save face.
All you have to do

is give Gretchen
back to Louis.

I don't believe it.

You're leveraging a client

for your own purposes.

My client is fine
with it.

I came through for him.

I'm not fine with it.

I don't play
by your rules.

What if Gretchen isn't fine
working for you?

I told him
it was temporary.

But if you think
you're going

to extort me
into getting her back early,

you can hand
in your resignation.

This isn't your firm, Faye.

It's mine.

And I'm not going
anywhere.

Neither am I.
And for the record,

you said you'd do anything
to win this.

But you haven't crossed
a single line.

So as far as
I'm concerned,

I'm doing my job.
