Previously on "Suits"...

- What is that?
- A list of ethical violations

Samantha Wheeler engaged in
over the course of six years

as my attorney.
- I'm not ruining

Samantha's career.
- This is not a suggestion.

It is an order,
and if you don't use this,

I will, and if I do it, Alex,

I'll be going straight
to the Bar.

- So what'd you find?
- Nothing.

Bullshit. We've had
information that your firm--

I don't care what you've got,
and if you unseal my records,

the firm of Rand Kaldor Zane
will come after you

for malicious prosecution.

I noticed I had a voicemail
from Brian.

What did he say?

I deleted it without even
listening.

Katrina, that's amazing.

Thank you, Donna.

You bribed Charles Hu to say
I contacted him

a year and a half ago.
Now I can't dispute it,

because we're on record saying
this guy's a saint.

Mike, I had nothing to do
with this.

Well, if it wasn't you,
then it was her.

You lied to me.

All I did was produce a piece
of evidence

that proves exactly
what we know he did.

You didn't produce it.
You fabricated it

because you can't stand someone
getting the better of you.

Well, I don't trust you
anymore.

We were about to lose,

and evidence shows up
that saves the day.

- Harvey didn't do anything.
- Then it was you.

As of this second,

you're fired.

Hello?

Did I catch you
at a bad time?

What is it, Faye?

I'm calling because
I wanted you to be

the first to know
I fired Samantha.

What?

I had reason
to suspect she crossed

a line with Mike Ross.

Reason to suspect,
or evidence?

I don't need evidence.
She all but admitted it.

Well, that doesn't sound
like something she'd admit to.

I didn't call
to debate my decision, Donna.

When I came here
I laid down one rule,

play it straight
or you're fired.

I'm sorry,
but she had to go.

And why exactly are
you calling me with this?

Because you pride yourself
on keeping this place together,

and right now your
people need you.

You mean you want me
to stop them from retaliating

against your bullshit move.

Donna, you and I
both know your colleagues

are going to act against me,

and it won't be
through proper channels.

And if you don't
stop them from doing it,

I don't see this firm
surviving the year.

Samantha,
what are you doing--

I just got fired, Robert.

I didn't know where else to go.

Okay,

why don't you come in,
tell me what happened.

Well, I didn't come
to talk about what happened,

I came to talk about
what's going to happen.

Well, I can answer
that right now.

Not a damn thing.

Robert, she took my job.

If you think I'm just
gonna sit back and--

What I think is you
pulled some kind of shit

with your Mike Ross case.

That's right.
I heard what happened.

And I would bet my life
that Faye figured it out

and the chickens have
come home to roost.

So you're not gonna help me?

Of course I am.
But knowing your partners,

they're coming up with
a plan to get that woman out

on her ass right now.
So you are going to sit tight

and have faith in them
to make it happen.

I'm not so sure they are
coming up with a plan.

Why not?

Because Harvey's the reason
I got fired in the first place.

Nice of you
to show up, Harvey.

Don't give me
that shit, Louis.

I came as soon as I heard.
What are we doing?

I'll tell you
what we're doing.

We're getting
Samantha her job back.

And like I was just saying,

Faye's never going
to agree to that.

She will if we
could find something

on her we could use.

Harvey, we try to play dirty,

she won't roll over,
she'll expose us.

Well, how do you suggest
we get Samantha back?

Buy Faye a kitten?

I'm not saying we don't
look for something.

I'm saying when we find it,
we bring it to the Bar

and we have them remove her.
- And that's great,

but they're not just gonna
give us the firm back.

They're gonna send
in a replacement.

So what?
It can't be worse than Faye.

Bullshit, it can't.

Am I the only one
who's seen "Terminator 2"?

You've seen "Terminator 2"?

I can't believe he's
seen "Terminator" one.

I can't believe
we're still up here

talking instead
of executing a plan.

Speaking of which,
what exactly has Faye ever done

to make us think that
she's anything but ethical?

As far as I can tell,
her record is spotless.

Well, I don't care
what her record is.

Everybody's got something.
We just have to find it.

Then it's agreed.
We do whatever it takes

to find something
to get her out that door.

Agreed.

Whatever it takes.

You know, when I took
that bullet for you,

it was because I trusted that

you would watch
out for Samantha.

I am watching out
for her, Robert.

- We all are.
- Then tell me what you're

doing to get her back.

We're digging into Faye
and we're gonna force her out.

Well, that's a nice concept,
but what are the specifics?

- I'm working on it, Robert.
- I don't wanna hear

that you're working on it.

I wanna hear that
you're doing it.

Unless there's some reason
that you don't want to do it.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- It means that

you read Samantha the riot act
for pulling the same shit

you've done
a thousand times,

only this time
it was against Mike!

Look, I came down on her
because she lied to my face.

And I'd do it again,
but that doesn't mean

I'm gonna let Faye
come after my family.

Well, I hate to break
it to you, Harvey,

but you're the reason
that Faye fired Samantha

in the first place.

That's right.
That thing you would do again,

you did in the middle
of Samantha's office

and Faye saw it.

Robert, I didn't know.

Well, now you do.

And I told Samantha that you
would move heaven and earth

to get her back,
so get upstairs

and start making it happen.

Brian.

What are you doing here?

Didn't you get my voicemail?

I got it.
I've just been...very busy.

Oh, that's too bad.

I was hoping you'd have
time to prepare yourself.

Prepare myself for what?

I'm representing
the founder of Curt's Coffee.

We believe he's entitled
to a piece of the company

he didn't receive when
his partners forced him out.

Curt wasn't forced
out of anything, Brian.

He chose to leave.
And he was fairly

compensated at the time.

He was ripped off, Katrina.

I see what this is.
You know the parties,

and you think I'll cut you
a check to go away.

No, I don't.
And even if you tried that,

I wouldn't take it.

And who's to say it
would be your choice?

What do you mean?

I mean, you have
a clear conflict.

You represented them
when you worked here.

So what's to stop me from
throwing you off the case?

Nothing.

Except I need this.

This move hasn't gone great,

so when the partners
brought me this case...

- You couldn't say no.
- I didn't want to say no.

Because taking on a lawyer
like you sends a message.

All right, Brian.
I won't throw you off the case,

but I will be filing
a motion to dismiss.

I'd expect nothing less.

It's good to see you, Katrina.

Louis, good.
Please tell me

you thought of a place
to start digging.

I did.
Faye's first day here.

Gretchen said the way
she got on the Bar's radar

in the first place was
by firing her husband

for doing something unethical.

Then this is it.

If anyone knows anything,
it'll be him.

There's just one problem.

What if he won't
talk shit about her?

Louis, there's no way
someone's married to that

woman for more than three days

and doesn't want
to talk shit about her.

That's not what I meant.

Their divorce settlement
was sealed.

So it's not that he won't
want to give us anything,

he may not be able to.

That's what I'm telling you.

Well, if he's not willing
to give us what we need,

then we're just gonna have
to make him.

- What's that?
- A lawsuit,

and you're the lead plaintiff.

You want me
to sue my own firm?

Not the firm.
Faye.

She clearly has a problem
with strong women.

- Alex...
- Think about it.

She tried to strip you
of your vote.

She took Gretchen
from Louis against her will

and now she fired
Samantha without proof.

That's a pattern,
and we can win.

I don't care
what you think we can do.

I am not gonna go after another
woman under false pretenses.

What's the matter with you?
We said whatever it takes.

Well, I didn't.

And in case it hasn't gotten
through your head yet,

shit like this is why
she's here in the first place.

God damn it.
You telling Thomas about

that deal is what got
her here in the first place.

I'm sorry, Donna.
I shouldn't have said that.

Alex, what's going on?

Faye asked me to spy on
Samantha because she suspected

Samantha might do
exactly what she did.

I could've warned her,
and I didn't.

Alex.

It's not exactly news that
Faye was keeping an eye on us.

She told us that three
seconds after she got here.

Samantha knew that, and she
chose to cross a line anyway.

And, come to think of it,

what do you think
she's doing right now?

- Probably nothing good.
- My thoughts exactly.

So instead of feeling badly
about not warning her,

I'd say you go stop her
from making things worse.

Appreciate you
meeting me, Tom.

- I wasn't sure you would.
- Neither was I.

But I figured if you had
the balls to call me,

I should at least hear you out.

Well...I can't say
I regret what I did,

but there may be a way
for us to work together now.

In other words,
you need something.

I do.

And I'd be willing
to owe you one in exchange.

First tell me what
it is you're looking for.

A lawyer named
Faye Richardson.

The Bar put her into our
firm and I want to give

them a reason to pull her out.

What makes you think
there's something to find?

No one gets through life
without doing something.

You want the FBI to go
on a fishing expedition?

I can make that happen.

But I'm not about
to get burned twice.

So this time,
before I deliver for you,

you're gonna deliver for me.

Gavin Andrews?

You want me to turn
in my own client?

Not your client.

A client of the firm
that just fired you.

And I'm still
covered by privilege

for anything I knew
before yesterday.

Then get some shit
on him starting today.

I can't.
He doesn't trust me anymore.

Then this meeting is over.

Damn it,
there's gotta be something--

There is.
This.

You want my help,
this is the price.

And it's not negotiable.

Sorry to keep you
gentlemen waiting.

Had to gather these up and--

All right.
What's going on here?

What are you talking about?

Well, I was told you
two were here looking

to buy a term life policy.

But there's no way
he is marrying you.

You know what,
I have a lot of great qualities

and you don't know a God damn--
- Louis!

Look, you're right.

We're not here
to buy insurance.

We're here because your
ex-wife is overseeing our firm.

Let me just
venture a guess here.

You two are not thrilled
with the way things are going,

and you're looking to dig
up some dirt on her.

But first we need to know
why you left the law.

Well I was just like you two,
a big-time corporate attorney.

But I wasn't very happy
grinding out deals,

so I took up high-profile
litigation.

Class action.

And class action
requires money.

Money those people didn't have.

- So what'd you do?
- I overbilled our

three biggest clients
and I shifted the money around

to finance
the contingency cases.

And you got caught
when you lost.

I never lost.
Faye figured it out.

She fired me on the spot
and then she ratted me out

to the Ethics Board
the very next day.

15 years of marriage,

and she turned on me
like it was nothing.

Well, she might not
be wife of the year,

but she's not exactly
looking like the bad guy here.

Not to mention, you never
got your license taken away.

Did I say that was
the end of the story?

Faye used the threat
of losing my license

as leverage in the divorce.

And once she squeezed
the last nickel out of me,

she called off the dogs.

You're saying she
turned you over to the Bar,

then undid the whole thing
just for money?

You don't believe me?
Take a look at the terms

of the divorce settlement.

The fact that they never took
my license and then you tell me

that Faye didn't manipulate
the whole God damn thing.

Are you willing
to show us that settlement

even though it's sealed?

She already took me
to the cleaners once.

What's she gonna do,
do it again?

I'll be done
in a minute, Susan.

I'm not here for
the copy machine.

I wanted to talk to you.

I couldn't help but notice
Brian here earlier today.

Whatever it is,
Susan, get to it.

Because if you're here
to blackmail me again...

I'm not here
to blackmail you.

I'm here to help you.

I know how good Brian is
and I can imagine going up

against him isn't going
to be easy for you.

I'm a senior partner, Susan.
I'm more than capable

of handling myself
in a court of law.

I meant, if for some reason
things got personal between

the two of you,
I already know what happened

and I can be there
to support you.

I don't know that you're
capable of supporting me.

Katrina, you let me
off the hook for a reason.

If you won't give me
a second chance,

why didn't you just turn me
in to Faye in the first place?

I'm filing a motion
to dismiss tomorrow.

I want to be armed
to the teeth with case law.

Consider it done.

Hey, what's going on?

Copies of that divorce
settlement came through.

- And?
- His story looks legit.

She cleaned him out.

Harvey, you know,
I gotta tell ya,

I don't trust this guy.

I mean, maybe she did clean
him out, but think about it.

Does doing something for
money really sound like Faye?

No, it doesn't,
but he crossed a line,

he didn't get disbarred,
and she got paid.

So how else do you explain it?

Wait a second.
Maybe the Faye we know

needed a little
help getting there.

- Meaning?
- It's easy to not care

about money after
you already have it.

Are you saying she
took his money so she

could become a Special Master?

Look at the timeline.
Right after the incident,

she leaves corporate law,
takes a huge pay cut to start

working for the Bar and all
of sudden it doesn't matter

because she's got
a pile of money.

Then the question is
how do we prove it?

Because this clown's
word isn't enough.

Well, I'm not sure
if it'll prove it,

but I know where to start.

If you're picturing
Faye's face on that bag,

you're not the only one.

What are you
doing here, Alex?

I'm here because knowing you,
you're not just working

on your left cross.
And I'm here to help.

You're right, I'm not
just hitting the bag.

But what I need to do, you're
not gonna want any part of.

Try me.

I have to deliver
Gavin Andrews to the FBI.

What?

They know he's corrupt;
they just can't prove it.

Well, now I know I was
right to come here because

you're out of
your ------- mind.

- Alex...
- Have you forgotten

the list of shit he has on you?
You do this,

he'll figure it out,
and you won't just be fired,

you'll end up in prison.

Well, that's a risk
I'm willing to take.

Samantha, it's just a job.
It's not worth it.

It's worth it to me.
Because I can't wake up

feeling this way every day.

I didn't have a family, Alex.

And I'd get placed somewhere,

and just when I was
finally feeling safe,

the bottom would drop out
and they'd send me away.

I didn't have
a say in anything.

And I promised myself I would
never be that powerless again.

Okay, we'll go after him.

But we have to make sure
he doesn't know it's you,

which is gonna be tough
because he doesn't trust you.

Well, he'll have to trust me
if he thinks there's someone

he can trust even less.
Which there is.

- What are you talking about?
- His niece.

The one I gave you.

I did tell her
Gavin used her name

in that tax-evasion racket.

Which means she owes us one.

And Gavin won't be
thinking about the gun he's got

to your head if
he's got one to his.

Exactly.

In that case,
I'll say good night.

There's a phone call
I need to make.

Gretchen, we have a situation
and we need your help.

You two coming to see
me at the same time.

Whatever it is,
must be serious.

- It is.
- Louis and I have reason

to believe that Faye
manipulated the Ethics Board

for personal gain 15 years ago.

We can use it to get rid
of her, but we'll need proof.

And we're here to ask you
to reach out to anyone you know

at your old firm,
give you anything you can.

But, Gretchen, if Faye finds
out, she could fire you.

Okay, I'll do it
on one condition.

Name it.

Harvey throws
you a baby shower.

- What?
- That's a great idea.

No, it's not.
First of all, you're not

the one who's pregnant.
Second of all,

men don't throw baby showers.
- Times have changed, Harvey,

and it just so happens I have
thoughts on a color scheme.

Color scheme?
Oh, would you like me to be

- Sheila's midwife, too?
- Now that you mention it,

we could really
use a friendly--

All right, this is bullshit.
We came to you

with a serious request.

You turned it into a joke,
so you know what--

You think I'm joking here?

I know how goddamn
serious this is.

Louis said himself,
Faye catches wind of this,

I'm out on my ass.

And baby showers
aren't bullshit.

It's what people who love
each other do for each other.

Gretchen...

he doesn't need...
- Yes, he does.

You see how much
it would mean to him.

Why can't you just do it?

I'll throw you
a baby shower, Louis.

I'll get you what you need.

Thank you.

Katrina,

you were supposed
to be here 15 minutes ago.

They're in the
judge's chambers.

I know.
I got caught up.

- Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm fine,

Susan.
Let's just get in there.

Your Honor, Curt Lassiter
founded a company.

He was happy.
There was no reason

for him to leave except one.

His partners forced his hand.

That's ridiculous,
Your Honor.

Mr. Lassiter forfeited any
future claims to Curt's Coffee.

He signed the agreement.

Except that agreement is
invalid because Curt was told

if he didn't sign,
his shares would be diluted.

So he did what anyone
under duress would do.

He took what he could get.

- And you have proof of that?
- Those threats weren't

put on paper, which is why
I need to compel testimony.

So you can make
a mockery of the facts

and paint Curt as a victim?

He is a victim, Katrina.

This wasn't what he wanted.

Your Honor...

case law on this
matter is clear.

There has to be evidence
of duress to move forward.

Do you have any
precedent for that,

Ms. Bennett?

Ms. Bennett?

Do you have a rebuttal?

Yes, Your Honor.
Klein versus Bartis

shows there has to be evidence
of duress to move forward.

And we need subpoena
power to get that evidence.

Ms. Bennett, do you
have anything to say?

As you're having your
associate speak for you,

it seems like you're not
taking this matter seriously.

I take it seriously,
Your Honor, I--

Your Honor, I'd like
to ask for a continuance.

Klein versus Bartis
is a complicated ruling

and I'll need time to rebut.

That is kind of you
to say, Mr. Altman,

but I'm not hearing
anything from them to make me

dismiss this case.
And I would suggest

the next time you come
before me, Ms. Bennett,

that you come prepared.

What are you
doing here, Donna?

'Cause if you're looking
to reenact "Top Gun,"

I'm all for it.

This is serious, Harvey.

I wanna talk about our plan.

What about it?

Louis told me that
you went to see Faye's ex.

And I know that you
don't want to hear this,

but I think that's
a bad road to go down.

Well then he didn't
tell you the full story

because it's leading somewhere.

That's not what I meant.
Faye called me the other night.

- She knows we're coming at her.
- So what?

So you're digging
into her personal life.

She's gonna find out.

I don't give a shit
if she finds out about it.

She made it personal
when she fired Samantha.

Harvey, you're not
hearing me.

She finds out about this,
she's gonna go ballistic.

Damn it, Donna,
whose side are you on?

Faye's or Samantha's?

I'm on the side
of all of us, Harvey.

Because we may
need to get Faye out,

but if this thing goes too far,

we may not have a firm
for Samantha to come back to.

Gavin,
what can I do for you?

We've got a problem,
and her name is Darlene.

What's the problem?

The problem is
she's developed some expensive

tastes.
And thanks to you,

she's figured out
she's got a rich uncle that

she's decided to use as an ATM.

You're saying
she's blackmailing you.

Yes, Alex, I am.
And I need you

to make her go away.

What exactly are you asking
me to do here, Gavin?

Because if it's illegal,
I'm not doing it.

Don't give me
that Boy Scout shit.

You're the reason she knows
about my tax management

strategy in the first place.

You mean your money
laundering scheme that

you were using her and me
to help you get away with.

- Alex...
- Gavin, I told you once,

I'll tell you again.
I don't do shit like this.

But you're in luck because
Samantha Wheeler doesn't

work here anymore.
And if you want to go to her,

not as your lawyer,
but as a private citizen,

then I strongly
advise against it.

She won't do this for me.
She can't stand me.

No, she can't.
But she just lost her job,

so as long as
the price is right,

I bet she'll do
whatever needs doing.

Katrina, if this
is about court tomorrow.

Susan already contacted me.

It's not about that, Brian.
I'm calling to tell you

you didn't need
to do that today.

Yes, I did.
You weren't providing

effective counsel.
And when I win this thing,

I don't want it appealed.

Come on, Brian.
You did that because you

saw that I was
having a migraine.

Okay, I did.

But as long as we're being
honest, you were having that

migraine because of me.
I know you're conflicted

about going against me
on this and the reason

I know that is because
I'm conflicted, too.

That doesn't mean
you have to prop me up.

Maybe not, but you
could've had me thrown off

this case and you didn't.

The least I could do
was return the favor.

Okay, but I don't want you
thinking that I need charity

or that I can't handle you.

- I don't think that.
- Then thank you.

And you're right,
I am conflicted,

because I've never been
involved in a case with you

where I wasn't rooting for you.

Well, there's no rule
that says just because

you're going against me
you can't still root for me.

Actually, Brian,
there is a rule

and that's exactly
what it says.

Good night, Katrina.

See you in court, Brian.

30 pounds overweight and this
is what you do for dinner?

Faye, I didn't know
you cared.

The only thing
I care about is that you

keep making bad decisions.

Such as?

Such as talking
to Harvey Specter

or whoever else came to you.

- I didn't talk to anybody.
- Bullshit, George.

Bernice called me,
said someone was looking into

my communications from
back then, and it took about

five seconds
for me to figure out who

pointed them in that direction.

God damn Bernice.

Let's skip the part
where you blame someone else

and get to the part where
you tell me what you told them.

Nothing that wasn't true.

I seriously doubt that.

Well, come to think of it,
I may have left out

a few details, but those
two didn't seem particularly

interested in nuance.
So I drew them a map

and I showed them
exactly where to go.

- The Ethics Board.
- That's right.

You're a Grade A
son of a bitch.

And you're
a Grade A hypocrite.

Walking around like
you never crossed a line.

Well, you did.
And when this is over,

you're gonna be out on your ass

and I'll have done to you
exactly what you did to me.

Susan, good.
What have you got?

I think I know how we can go
after Curt Lassiter tomorrow.

He says he never
wanted to leave his firm,

but that's what
he's saying now.

We need to know
what he was saying then.

You want to get access
to his personal email account.

Mm-hmm.
All we need is one email

where he says he's happy with
his payout and we've got him.

It's a good idea,
Susan, but it won't work.

There's no way Brian would
ever allow personal emails

to be part of this case.

He will if you force him to.

And how on earth
would I do that?

By using your history
with Brian to show

there's no difference between

the personal
and the professional.

Susan, you're suggesting
exposing intimate details

of Brian's life when
we don't even know

if we'll find anything.

But we might.
And the jury is always

going to sympathize with
a founder who got booted

from his own company.

Is this because you still
have feelings for Brian?

It's because I was
having a migraine today

and he tried to let me
off the hook.

Something was going on,
that much was obvious.

But, Katrina, just because
you're his soft spot

doesn't mean
he has to be yours.

Okay, you got me here.
This better be good.

My niece is coming after me.

So what?
Why aren't you calling

Alex Williams
with this instead of me?

'Cause you've always been
willing to do things he won't.

What specifically
is she coming after you for?

She wants $10 million,
or she's threatening

to come forward
with everything she has

on my money
laundering operations.

And exactly how
much does she know?

Enough to put me away
for a long time.

Okay, give the money
to me and I'll give it to her.

No one ever has to know,
but I'll record her

accepting a bribe.
And if she ever comes

calling again, we have her.

So I'm supposed to just
give her the money?

Short of killing her,
I don't see any other way

out of this.
And, Gavin, I'm not doing that.

And how do I know
you're not just gonna keep

the money for yourself?

Because you're gonna
pay me 5 million

for doing this damn thing.

You want half
of what I'm giving her

just to record someone?

It's not just
recording someone, asshole.

It's taking part
in covering up a crime.

And, Gavin, you don't get
someone to do this for you,

10 million is a drop
in the bucket.

She'll take you for
another 50 and you know it.

There's my girl.

I gotta say, you're a lot
more fun to work with

than Saint Alex of Midtown.
I've missed this.

Well, I haven't.

Get me the money,
and I'll get you your tape.

Ms. Bennett,
I see you're here

with another motion.

I hope it's more cogent
than your last one.

It is, Your Honor.
I would like to expand

discovery to include
Curt Lassiter's

personal emails during
the period in question.

Your Honor,
that's an invasion of privacy

and not at all
pertinent to the case.

Isn't it?
Mr. Altman's own argument

is that Curt was forced out

through unofficial
conversations.

That's no reason to dig into
my client's private life.

What precedent are
you citing, Ms. Bennett?

My precedent
isn't legal, Your Honor.

It's how life is.

When you work with
people for a long time,

relationships become
personal and lines get blurred.

Objection, Your Honor.
That's speculation.

No, Brian.
It isn't.

You used to be
my associate, correct?

I did.

And isn't it true we
had personal conversations

inside the office
and work conversations outside?

That's true,
but don't see how...

But nothing.
At some point,

you stopped thinking
of me as your superior,

and we became more
than co-workers, didn't we?

Yes, we did.

Then I have every right
to your client's emails.

But what if they reveal
things having nothing

to do with this case that
he doesn't want in the world?

Do you think
I'm the kind of lawyer

who would smear
a man's character?

I think you have
more integrity

than any lawyer I've ever met.

That doesn't sound like much
of an objection, Mr. Altman.

You'll hand over
those emails immediately.

Harvey, can I
have a word with you?

Sorry, Faye.
My days of talking

to you are over.

I know you went
to see George.

So what?

So I wanna know
what he told you.

The truth.
That you leveraged him

to get money after you found
out he was committing a crime.

Well, I hate to tell you
this, but that's not the truth.

You gonna say you didn't keep
him from being investigated

by the Bar and then
he didn't miraculously agree

to give you all his money
in the divorce settlement?

That's the thing
George is good at.

Twisting details to sound true.

I did keep them from
investigating him and I made

him give me that money.
But what he left out was,

I stayed there three more years
and didn't take a salary,

so I could make
his clients whole.

Bullshit.
Why would you do that

if you hated the man?

Because I have a daughter.

And I didn't want her
to grow up knowing

that her father was a criminal.

There it is.
There's the truth.

So you can expose me,
but you'll be shattering

my daughter's conception
of her father.

Well, here's what
we're gonna do.

You're gonna hire
Samantha back.

Then you're gonna resign.

And we're gonna call it even.

- I can't do that.
- I'm sorry, what did you say?

I can't horse trade
my way out of this.

I don't believe this.
You let this piece of shit off

scot-free, but you won't
bring her back for

something you don't
even have proof of?

I have all
the goddamn proof I need.

Because just three days ago,
you were in that office

yelling at her for this
and I saw you.

Well, you might as well
start packing your shit, Faye,

because as soon as I find
proof of what you did...

you're gone.

I crossed one line
in my career.

I hated doing it, but I did it.

For my child.

Samantha did what she did
to win a case.

That's not the same thing.

Katrina, I found something.

What is it?

An email chain from
Lassiter to his best friend

bragging about the yacht
he was about to buy

with the proceeds
from his awesome deal.

Susan, this is great.

We can use it to force
a settlement.

Settlement?
We don't need to settle.

This is proof they're lying.

And didn't you say
Brian refused to even

consider a settlement?

Yes, but now
we have leverage.

This isn't leverage,
this is an outright dismissal.

You don't know that.

And any time you move
forward with litigation,

anything can happen.

I know what is happening.

You're trying to give
him a way out.

And don't tell me I'm wrong.

All right, you're not wrong.

Brian needs this not
to be a total annihilation.

I thought you said
you don't care about him.

I don't, not in that way.

Then what way?
Because you're putting his

interests over our client's,
and that's not right.

Don't you talk to me
about what is right.

I have been doing
what is right.

I cut Brian out of my life,
but he's still a friend

and I don't want
to do this to him.

Katrina, I hear you.

But if this case was
against any other lawyer,

we'd be out
celebrating right now.

But it's your call.

- Good, you're here.
- What is it, Louis?

Gretchen came through.
Two emails from Faye Richardson

to members of the Bar
specifically asking to quash

any investigation
into her husband.

It's all there
in black and white, Harvey.

We got her.

All right.

- Let's do this.
- Hold on a second.

- What's going on?
- Nothing's going on, Louis.

Harvey, I've seen you win
enough times to know that this

is not what you look like.
What is it?

You were right,
that son of a bitch lied.

She didn't take him
to the cleaners

just so she could
have the money.

She did it to cover
up his crime,

so her daughter
would never know.

But that means if this
comes out, it'll destroy

that girl's vision
of her father.

Not to mention her mother
who's kept it from her.

She's a grown woman.
She can handle it.

Handle what?
You painting her as

a liar and a cheat?

I'm not painting her
as anything.

She did this.
And we said we'd get

Samantha back,
whatever it takes.

So this is what
it's gonna take.

What if there
was another way?

What other way?

Alex and Samantha
are working on something.

What if whatever they
find gets her out without

doing something
like this to a family?

One day.
They have one day.

Then I'm pulling the trigger
whether you like it or not.

Since when did you start
working bankers' hours?

Robert.
What are you doing here?

I'm here to see you.

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

- Joy has a piano recital and...
- Bullshit, she does.

You're getting in that car
to meet Samantha.

All right, you got me.

She cut a deal with the FBI,
and I'm helping her.

Helping her how?

We're giving
them Gavin Andrews

in exchange for dirt on Faye.

Gavin Andrews?
Are you out of your damn mind?

He's got information on her,
and if he finds out...

It doesn't matter.
The way we're doing it,

- Gavin will never know...
- Says every inmate sitting

in prison that thought they
committed the perfect crime.

- Robert...
- Alex, listen to me.

I know you're trying
to do right by her,

but even if Gavin doesn't
figure out what she's up to,

she has a history with the FBI.

What kind of history?

The kind that could come
back and bite her in the ass.

I appreciate that, Robert,

but the train
has left the station.

Then do me one favor.

Let me get in that
car instead of you.

Robert, what are
you doing here?

I'm here to help you.

- Help me or stop me?
- Both.

Because if you do
what you're about to,

the FBI is going
to have something over you

for the rest of your life.

I'm not giving up the plan.

I'm not asking you to.
I'm asking you to be quiet

and let me be
a lawyer one last time.

What's going on here?

We were supposed
to meet alone.

Well, my client
and I had other ideas.

She's not gonna give you
anything until you sign this.

Blanket immunity
for anything you've ever done.

I don't think so.

Not anything she's ever done.

Anything she's ever done
for the man she's giving you.

I don't have
authority to sign this.

Bullshit, you don't.
This is a one-time offer

good for 30 seconds.
Take it or leave it.

- Robert.
- Samantha, I'm handling this.

Jesus, you are Robert Zane.

You're not even a lawyer.

I don't have to be
a goddamn lawyer

for this to be
legally binding.

So sign it or not,

because you're not getting
what she has without it.

Look at that,
you came through.

I did.
Now you're giving me

everything you got on Faye.

Not a goddamn thing.

Turns out I couldn't find
anything on the woman.

Just like you couldn't
find anything way back when.

- We had a deal.
- What deal?

You might have
immunity on paper,

but that's all
you have on paper.

Don't ever call me again.

You son of a bitch.

Whatever it is you're
thinking about doing,

it isn't gonna happen.

Because I'm not
getting out of this booth

until we talk
this thing through.

Katrina, what
are you doing here?

We found his emails.
Curt lied about being

forced out.
I'm here to end this.

And I wanted
to do it in person.

- What about settling?
- It's too late for that.

Unless you drop
this by tomorrow,

we're going
to countersue for slander.

I'm sorry, Brian.

You can't blame
him for trying.

What do you mean?

Curt wasn't entirely lying.

He may not have
been forced out,

but he regretted leaving.

Are you talking
about him or you?

Can it be both?

Your partners didn't assign
you this case, did they?

- You took it.
- I did.

I knew they were going after
you and then you called and...

- And what?
- I missed you.

So I took the case...

Because I wanted
to spend time with you.

I can't believe you.

That's why you wouldn't settle?
To spend more time with me?

- Katrina...
- No.

What did you think
would happen when we

spent that time together?

I thought we would
see each other and talk

and be in each other's
lives like we used to.

- And then?
- I don't know.

Well, what I know is that

I wanted to keep
working together as friends.

You couldn't do it.
You left.

God damn it,
there's nothing wrong

with missing someone, Katrina.

There is for me.
Because I have to move on.

And so do you.

So that's it?
We just--

we just never
see each other again?

You have our terms.
You can pursue this case

or don't, but if you don't
drop this case by tomorrow,

Brian, I will have you removed.

Can I talk to
you for a second?

I just got off
the phone with Samantha.

Their plan didn't work.

That settles it, then.

That's what I'm here
to talk about, Harvey.

I don't think it does.

I don't believe this.
So you're taking Louis's side?

Yes, I am.
And quite frankly,

I don't understand
why you're not.

Well, let's see.
We all wanted her gone,

this is a one-way ticket out

and what the ---- else
is there to talk about?

- Harvey.
- What is it with all of you?

Don't you get it?
She is never

gonna stop coming.

Zane's name, Louis's title,
Samantha's job....

This isn't about her.

I don't want to be
a part of doing this

to someone's family.

What about what
she did to our family?

She didn't kill
anyone, Harvey.

She was just doing her job.

And I'm the reason
she ------- did it.

Faye saw me yelling
at Samantha, Donna.

- That's how she knew.
- Oh, my God.

We could've had
this fight anywhere.

The roof, the street,
the file room...

none of this would've happened.

But instead,
I chose to have it right

in the middle of the office,
where anyone could see it.

I get it now.

Harvey, if there is one
thing that I love about you,

it's your sense of loyalty.
But when you add

guilt on top of that...

What are you saying?

Imagine you could go
back in time and not know

about your mother
what you knew.

Wouldn't you do
that for yourself?

- It was my fault, Donna.
- I know that.

But doing this...

It's not the man
I want you to be.

And I know it's not
the man you want to be.

What's that?

Just came in.
They're dropping the case.

Why are you
giving this to me?

Susan, what I did for Louis
when I was his associate

and Brian did for me
was about more than just

legal brilliance.

It was also about having

the person's back.

And just as important...

telling them
when they're wrong.

Are you...thanking me for
telling you, you were wrong?

I'm explaining why
I'm giving this to you.

Because I like my associates
to keep a record of their wins.

Are you saying
you're making me your...

Yes, Susan, I am.
Unless you keep asking

questions, in which case,
you're not.

- I won't let you down.
- I know you won't.

Now go home.
Not having a life

is what got me into trouble
with Brian in the first place.

Faye.

What can I do for you?

It's been enough time
that if Harvey were going

to go to the Bar,
he would've already.

And it doesn't take
Einstein to figure out

who convinced him not to.

You asked me
to keep the firm together.

That's what I did.

How'd you do it?

How'd you get him to back off?

I thought what if
you were my mother

and you'd done that for me.

The rest just came out.

Thank you, Donna.

Faye, for the record,

we didn't do this
for self-preservation.

Because no matter what
you may think of us...

There are some
lines we won't cross.

Okay, what was so important
that I needed to come over

at this time of night?

I wanted to say I'm sorry.

Because we both know
you'd still be at the firm

if it wasn't for me yelling
at you like an idiot.

It's okay, Harvey.

I'm the one who
crossed the line.

It's not just that, Samantha.

We found a way to get Faye out.

I didn't take it.

And I wanted you
to hear that from me.

Donna already
told me, Harvey.

And for what it's worth,

I think you
did the right thing.

You're the last person I
would expect to hear that from.

Well, if you'd asked me an
hour ago, you wouldn't have.

But she watched
out for her child

and I wish I had
a parent like that.

Samantha, what's going on?

A few weeks ago,
I hired an investigator

and I just found out
where my biological father is.

Pittsburgh.

- Pittsburgh.
- Yeah.

And I was gonna go
tomorrow but,

Robert's going
to visit Rachel and...

they can't cancel.

Samantha, what is it?

I don't wanna go alone.

Well, if I'm not
too deep in your doghouse,

I certainly could
use a break from Faye.

You'd really go with me?

I would.

Well, in that case,
you are not too deep

in my doghouse.

Okay, then.

I'll pick you up
in the morning.

Okay.
Thank you, Harvey.
