[MAN READS ONSCREEN TEXT]

There's a whole life going on here

that you're not even a part of.

Think I don't know what I've missed?

I'm not just talking about birthdays.

I got sick again. What?

Why didn't you tell me?

Did you know? Know what?

Gavin Andrews was gonna ask

to launder money for him?

Help me get out of this. Please.

I should have listened, but I have a family.

I want to make a perfect baby with you.

Are you sure? Absolutely.

I don't wanna be pulling the goalie.

I wanna start trying, and I wanna start trying right now.

You think we're in competition for the same thing,

but we're not. Robert Zane made me a promise:

the next name that goes up on the wall is mine.

Why are you telling me?

We're never gonna trust each other

if you think I'm trying to get ahead.

I'm not, because I already am.

Sheila.

It's after 9. You're gonna be late.

I'll be late. There's something I need to ask you.

Yeah, of course. You can ask me anything.

Louis, have you ever gotten a woman pregnant before?

Okay, uh... Heh, heh.

Where is this going?

I'm asking because you haven't gotten this woman

pregnant yet either.

Sheila, we just started trying,

I think I've been more than meeting the standards.

Louis, you are an A/A-plus lover.

Everyone knows that. There's a slash?

That's not the point. The point is,

have you ever considered the possibility

you're shooting blanks? No more than I would consider

I don't have a face. I get that, Louis,

and you probably have the sperm of a thoroughbred,

but I'd like you to get yourself checked.

If you're asking what I think you are,

I don't wanna go to a place

where people do... that...

unless it's absolutely necessary.

I get that too, but the fact is,

I'm not getting younger, and we don't have time to waste.

So I'm getting myself checked. I'm asking you to do the same.

So here's the address.

You have an appointment today.

Okay, Sheila, I'll get it done.

Thank you.

LOUIS: Harvey, do you have a second?

Sure, what is it?

Did you ever have to test your sperm?

What? Sheila wants me to,

but I don't think I can in one of those places.

I don't wanna have this conversation.

It's bad enough we share the same dentist.

We're trying to have a baby, and I don't have anyone else

to talk to about this.

Okay, what-- what's your problem?

Problem is, I've never had to do it under duress before.

I don't know how. Well, why don't you do it

like everyone else does?

Use pictures. I don't use pictures.

I think of Sheila. I can't with strangers.

Before Sheila? I don't wanna talk about it.

I don't wanna talk about this. Harvey, come on.

[SIGHS] All right, look...

you can't use pictures, don't wanna to think about Sheila.

You'll have to think of something

that turns you on that isn't Sheila.

You mean think about an inanimate object.

Yes, Louis, that's what I mean.

Have you done that? Of course.

What do you use? I'm not telling you.

Harvey, please.

All right. You want the truth?

Sometimes...

I think about...

tomatoes.

Really? Well, if you think about it,

they're the most sensual fruit. I thought they were

a vegetable? I am opening my soul

to you here, don't criticize me.

I'm sorry, you're right.

Thank you, Harvey.

Good luck in there, buddy.

Yeah. Tomatoes, holy shit.

Never thought of that.

You wanna tell me what that was all about?

No, because I'm guessing you listened

to the entire conversation, which means you know

what it's about. In that case,

what I wanna know is: is it true about the tomatoes?

I think we both know it's not.

Just like we both know it's really strawberries

and whipped cream.

What, too soon? No.

This is an office, someone could overhear

and misunderstand that that was 13 years ago.

Really? 'Cause it feels like

12 and a half to me.

You're an idiot. No, Louis is an idiot.

because he believed I think about tomatoes.

If Sheila wants to get his swimmers checked,

we shouldn't mock that he has to do that...

in a cup...

thinking about tomatoes. You're absolutely right.

We should take it very seriously.

Tomatoes. Okay, you know what?

As much as I would love to do this all day,

I came in here to tell you you need to call Marcus.

Marcus? About what?

I don't know, but he left me a message

he wants you to call. If he wants me to call,

why would he leave a message for you?

Because when Marcus really needs you, he calls me.

He's only ever done that twice,

which means whatever it is he needs, it's important.

All right, Donna, I'll call him.

Today, Harvey.

Today.

[♪♪♪]

[VIBRATES]

Hey, Harvey.

I'm glad you called.

I take it Donna gave you my message?

She did. What's going on?

I'm getting a divorce. What?

I know.

And I know it is a big ask,

but I was hoping that you could represent me.

Marcus, hold on. When did this happen?

Last time I was there everything seemed fine.

It's not fine, and as much as I hate it,

this is what she wants. If you want me to help,

I need to know more.

What do you want me to tell you?

That we grew apart?

Well, we did. Bullshit, I know you.

It's not the full story. You're right, it's not.

I'll tell you everything when you get here.

I didn't say I was coming.

I'm not going to unless you tell me

what's going on, now.

I slept with someone, all right?

You did what? I was stupid,

and I had an affair, and I know you want

to rip my head off right now-- Damn right, I do!

'Cause you know better than anyone

what that does to a family. Right now, I don't care.

What the hell did you just say?

You're always telling your clients

that your issues are your issues

and you don't judge people.

So right now I don't need to hear how I screwed up.

What I need to hear is you're on your way

to help make sure that I don't lose my kids.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about custody, Harvey,

because Katie hired a shark to represent her.

Which means even if you didn't want

a fight... I can't risk

not treating it like one. The best way I know

to avoid a fight is to show up with a howitzer--

and, Harvey...

the biggest howitzer I know is you.

All right, Marcus, I'll come up.

[SIGHS] These associates get younger

and angrier. That's not an associate,

that's my daughter. You think

I didn't know that?

I can spot a ninth-grade pushback

from a mile away.

Let me ask you something: how'd you manage your kids?

What do you mean? I mean, Joy got in trouble

at school, that's why she's here.

She may be a pain in the ass,

but she finishes her homework in 18 seconds

All I have today is paperwork. I got it.

Your daughter won't listen and you don't want

to talk to her. No, I just don't know

Sometimes there is no way to get them to hear you.

But they might hear someone else.

Someone-- Someone cool.

Someone like you? No, no, no.

Not me. Come on, Gretchen,

what's it gonna take? I'm not saying I won't.

I'm saying it won't work. Why not?

Because it can't be someone you think is cool...

It has to be someone she thinks is cool.

Well, look at that.

Maybe you're not doomed after all.

Now, move out of the way.

I gotta get me some of that almond milk.

Hello.

My name is Louis Litt, I'm here to, uh...

[LAUGHS JAUNTILY]

You know, make a deposit.

Ah, of course.

11:00, right on the dot. Well, punctuality helps me

get in the right head space. Take a look

at our preparatory materials-- And before you ask,

I promise, whatever you need, we've got you covered.

That's great. I'll take a look

at The Wall Street Journal. The what?

The Wall Street Journal.

What do you need that for?

What do you mean? I need it to conduct my business.

We don't conduct business.

Not that kind of business.

This kind of business. Are you--

I need a Wall Street Journal,

Forbes, Investor's Weekly--

anything of a fiscal nature.

We don't have those things. Who are you?

You said anything, you got me.

What is your problem?

It's not the clinic's, but...

I have the real estate section of the newspaper.

Give me that shit.

Standard, standard, standard, blah, blah, blah...

Holy shit, they want how much for a two bedroom--

Mm, Chubby Checker. That'll work.

Really? Yes, really.

I need a room now. I'll even share.

Come on, get the cup. All right...

This way.

♪ Get up for the down stroke Everybody get up ♪

Samantha, you got a second?

What I have is less than four hours

to find proof Insight Drugs has ripped off

our client's medication. That's too bad,

because I need help,

and you're the perfect person.

You're asking for my help? Yes, I am.

What's the case? Williams v. Williams,

and I'm losing big time. What, now?

My daughter. She's here for two days

because she got suspended, and worse, when I asked her

what happened, she lied to me.

You're coming to me because you don't think

she'll listen to you or your wife.

She's a smart kid, but right now

all she cares about is being cool,

so I need someone like you to show her

being smart is cool. So you're saying I'm cool.

To a 15-year-old who won't listen

to a word her father says, yes.

Maybe that's because she doesn't need

to listen right now, she needs to be heard.

I can tell you from experience,

being a teenage girl is pretty damn hard.

Does that mean you'll do it?

I guess it does.

Just don't make me regret this.

Alex, if you don't know by now,

making people regret things is kind of what I do.

Then you and Joy are gonna get along just fine.

Thanks, Samantha.

[♪♪♪]

What is this? Sanitizer.

I heard you had a particularly dirty case on your hands.

Harvey told you.

This was the hardest case you ever had?

That the client was really jerking you around? That--

Are you finished? Are you finished?

Donna! I'm just asking as a friend.

Did you slay the dragon? Did you bop the potato?

Did you wallop the badinger? [STAMMERING]

"Wallop the badinger"? Yeah, I was on a roll.

Whatever-- no...

Louis, what's wrong?

I was just joking around.

Did it not go okay?

It's not that, Donna. Then what is it?

What if I can't have kids? Louis...

It is all I've ever wanted,

but it has never once occurred to me

that I might not be able to do it.

Has it occurred to you the reason

you were never worried is there's no reason to be?

Except Sheila is worried, and now it's in my head.

Donna, what if it is me? Louis, right now

we don't even know if there's a problem at all,

so I suggest you cross that bridge

when you come to it.

If you do, and you need someone

to talk about it with, I'll be here.

Thank you, Donna.

[♪♪♪]

Hey. Did you get a hold of Marcus?

I did. Then what's going on?

He's not sick again, is he? No, nothing like that,

but it's still not good. Then what is it?

He cheated on Katie.

She found out and now she wants a divorce.

Oh, my God.

Are you kidding me? No.

That's not all, he wants me to come

and represent him. What are you gonna do?

What do you think? I'm gonna help.

Okay, look, I have to ask--

Are you sure you want to do this?

I appreciate your concern, Donna, but it's my brother.

What am I supposed to do?

This could bring up shit for you.

And I don't disagree, but like I said,

it's my brother.

What am I supposed to do? Okay.

But before you go, after what just happened

I think you should tell Robert. I already did.

How did he take it?

I have to give him credit, he--

He didn't hesitate for a second.

He said, "Family comes first.

Always does, always will."

[♪♪♪]

You must be Joy.

That's the name they gave me.

I'm Samantha.

Your dad's gonna be stuck in meetings,

so he asked me to check in on you.

Samantha, is it?

He didn't ask you to check in on me.

He asked you to keep an eye on me

because you're the cool one.

Well, you might be cool to him,

but you're not cool to me.

Okay.

I see what this is.

I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.

Your what? My "why I got suspended."

You got suspended? Just once.

But from three different schools.

That's the football field.

I used industrial bleach.

That shit's not coming out for months.

Wow, that is some colorful language.

So what'd you do?

The worst one?

I boosted a car from the school parking lot.

You stole somebody's car. Not somebody's,

the principal's.

Turns out that is not a good idea.

Got it.

Don't steal the principal's car.

I'm not saying breaking the rules

is a bad thing.

I'm saying you just need to know which ones to break.

I don't think you're supposed to tell me that.

Maybe not, but if you're gonna help me

the next couple of days, you should know how I work.

Help you? Yeah.

I've got a deposition

and nothing to force the other guy's hand.

You in?

I'm in. Well, then, Joy,

you and I are gonna need some coffee.

[DOOR BELL CHIMING]

Harvey, what are you doing here?

I'm here because Marcus asked me to represent him.

Then you shouldn't be contacting me

without my lawyer. No, I shouldn't.

But I'm not here as a lawyer.

I'm here as your brother-in-law.

What does that mean? I know Marcus

still loves you, and...

I need to know if there isn't still a way

that you guys can work this out.

As much as I wish that, it's too late.

Look, Marcus told me what happened...

You're still standing here trying to defend him.

No, I'm not.

When he told me, believe me,

I wanted to lay him out myself.

I know what it feels like to have your family ripped apart,

and I don't wanna see that happen. Think I do?

No, I don't, but I'm telling you,

the second lawyers get involved...

it's gonna get messy.

It's already messy, Harvey.

And my lawyer's already involved,

so be Marcus' lawyer or don't,

but either way I can't talk to you anymore.

[♪♪♪]

No, no, you sit here.

Why? Those two over there

are opposing council and his client.

What does that have to do with where I sit?

It has to do with where I sit.

I don't understand. Let me explain.

I have nothing on this asshole, but I know he's lying.

So I'm going to bluff him in an hour,

and this is where that bluff starts.

You're just gonna stare at him?

No, I'm also going to laugh

and drink my coffee and show him

how incredibly confident I am.

I get it. You're trying to get in their heads.

Not trying, doing. Awesome.

I'll get us some drinks. You're buying?

My dad's buying. In that case,

I will take a dozen bagels, seven donuts, and...

one of those fancy espresso machines over there.

[♪♪♪]

Don't tell me-- the results are in.

They are. And?

They want me to meet the doctor in person.

And? I want you to come with me.

Louis, I--

I don't mean to sound insensitive,

but I really think that you should do this on your own.

Donna...they said "in person." That can't be good.

Don't they do that for everyone? Maybe,

but I don't want to be alone.

I understand that, but I'm not the woman

you should be asking.

Sheila. She's your partner in this.

I know that, but what if...

What if what? Donna, if I'm the reason

we can't have kids, I wanna be the one to tell her.

Not some guy in a lab coat.

And if you really want me to go with you, I will, but...

if I were Sheila, I wouldn't want

to be the second woman in your life to find that out.

You're right, Donna.

Don't tell me they ran out of coffee.

No, I got something better than coffee.

I didn't know what to do, so I just hit "record."

Does it help? It sure as shit doesn't hurt.

Huh. Does that mean you don't have

to sit here and smile at them?

No, it just means it's gonna be

a hell of a lot more fun.

[♪♪♪]

[LAUGHS]

Harvey.

You were supposed to be here an hour ago.

Something I had to do first.

I know what you had to do, and I wish you hadn't.

Listen... You said you were gonna come

and help, not stir things up with Katie.

You said you wanted peace, so I tried

to make peace. Yeah, well, what you did

was make it worse.

Shit. What does that mean,

"You've been sanctioned"?

Look, it's a fine

for contacting her without her lawyer.

It's nothing. No, I know you,

and there's something else.

[SIGHS]

If I file some kind of motion and it's a coin toss,

the judge probably rules in their favor.

Are you kidding me? Marcus, I am sorry.

You asked me to come up here,

and like it or not...

This is tough for me too, so I tried with Katie.

Okay, Harvey, I get it.

I wish there was a chance in hell

that it would've worked.

So what are we gonna do now?

I'll tell you what.

You want a peaceful settlement,

we're gonna get you a peaceful settlement.

Mr. Litt. Yes.

Please, have a seat. Oh, my God,

it's worse than I thought. I have no sperm at all.

[LAUGHS] Of course not.

In fact, I'm happy to inform you

that your sperm count is perfectly fine.

I see no reason why you can't make

any healthy woman pregnant. Great, fantastic.

There is one thing, however.

One thing. I noticed

on the lifestyle section of our form,

you put down "mudding." Yeah.

[LAUGHS] Yes, it relaxes and soothes me.

Come to think of it, that's the reason

why my count is so robust. You'll have to give it up.

What now? Your count is fine,

but due to your partner's age-- if you give up mudding,

your chances of conceiving go up significantly.

Define significantly. Eighty percent.

Holy shit, 80 percent?

There's gotta be another way! There isn't.

What if I put everything in but my balls?

I don't... Scratch that,

defeats the purpose.

What if I cut down? I cut it in half,

improves our chances 40 percent. It doesn't work that way.

What are you telling me? I'm telling you

if you want to have the best chance at having a child,

you'll give up mudding for the foreseeable future.

[♪♪♪]

Excuse me. What's she doing here?

It's "go to work with your parent" day.

She's your daughter?

Something like that. Of course,

if you're too afraid... Fine with me if she stays,

since this is gonna be the world's shortest deposition

You're ready to admit you infringed

on my client's patent to create your generic?

Because, my company developed that drug

from scratch, and your client has no proof we didn't.

We do have proof, we're not gonna use it.

You're not gonna use it because it doesn't exist.

I'm not gonna use it because I'd like you to lie to my face.

And why is that? So when I reveal what we know

in open court, you not only lose this case,

you get charged with perjury.

Can't you get sent to jail for that?

Why, yes, Joy, you can.

You'd probably go bankrupt trying to fight it.

BOTH: Hmm.

You're bluffing.

You don't have shit on him.

There's only one way to find out.

So Mr. Coleman, did you or did you not

rip off our patent to create your bullshit new drug?

And before you answer,

I'd like you to think back to that decaf latte

you were drinking before coming up here.

And, more specifically, to the person waiting in line

by your table...

while you were trying so hard not to look at me.

That's what she's doing here.

You set us up. You set yourself up

because you went to a public place

and discussed a case loud enough

for a 15-year-old girl who just happened

to be recording the coffee shop to pick you up on tape.

Now, for the last time...

Where'd your new drug come from?

[♪♪♪]

[SIGHS]

All right.

How much do you want?

Gentlemen, sorry to keep you waiting.

My client and I were just discussing

a few last matters. Not a problem.

Now that you're ready, I suggest we start

with division of property. We'd like to start

with the most important issue...

Our kids. Exactly.

Because we're seeking sole custody.

What? We-- we didn't talk about that.

What was or wasn't previously discussed

is irrelevant. That's bull--

Marcus, let me handle this.

They don't want sole custody, they want to start

on one end. They're expecting us to start on the other.

We don't wanna fight. Why don't we just all start

in the middle? I'll tell you why--

We're not moving on this at all.

Excuse me? Katie, don't do this.

You did this to yourself, Marcus.

No, he didn't. He may have screwed up,

but you don't have the grounds to take the kids.

Actually, we do. HARVEY: Bullshit.

I'm not gonna let you play games like you did

with those sanctions. What sanctions?

You know what sanctions.

The ones you had your lawyer slap me with

for coming to talk to you. I didn't authorize anything.

You didn't need to. After you told me he approached you...

You thought it was a good idea to use that to bias the judge.

It would be a good idea to protect my client.

Those kids aren't just your client's interests.

They're my brother's children--

Maybe he should have cared enough

to put their needs ahead of his own.

He may not have been a perfect husband,

I'm not gonna let you say he's not a good father.

How would you know what kind of a father he is?

I'll tell you. Every time I've seen them

with him, every time he has told me about them...

What about what he told you about why we're splitting up?

He slept with someone else,

doesn't mean he's not a good--

Slept with someone else?

Oh, my God.

He didn't tell you what happened, did he?

Katie...

Marcus, what's she talking about?

You can have that conversation

on your own time, 'cause I'm not gonna

let you tell me this is all my fault

when you don't even know the whole story.

Let me be clear: I'm taking the kids

because that is what is best for them.

If you have a problem with that,

you can take it up with the man sitting next to you,

'cause I'm done defending myself.

[♪♪♪]

Katie!

Okay, you tell me and you tell me now.

What was that all about?

I was gambling again. I don't believe this...

It was just a few weeks, almost a year ago,

and I've been in a program ever since.

You didn't tell Katie, just like you didn't tell me.

I was going to. When?

After the judge took your kids?

Because they're right, Marcus.

They do have the grounds,

and you gave it to them. There's gotta be

something you can do. Not when I don't have the facts!

I point-blank asked you what happened, and you said

it was because of an affair.

Look, I know I should have told you,

but I'm telling you now.

Tell me, right now, anything else

I should know, and I mean anything.

[♪♪♪]

Haley caught me making a bet.

And I told her that I was just playing a game,

and it could be our little secret.

Are you kidding? Where you going?

Back to New York. No, please, you can't--

These are my kids!

Your kids that you asked to lie for you.

which makes you no different than Mom.

No, that is not fair.

What Mom did is nothing like this.

You asked your kids to keep your secrets.

How is that different? It was one time

and Haley had no idea what I was doing was wrong.

You know what? Tell yourself

what you want about what kind of man you are.

You're not just a shitty husband,

you're a shitty brother, and I'm done here.

[♪♪♪]

[LAUGHS] What's this for?

[LAUGHS] Well, I know it was a stressful day,

I thought you deserved something with a little umbrella.

[LAUGHS] You have no idea. Mm.

So how did it go?

It was great. Really?

What did he say? Mm.

I should have no issue getting you pregnant,

and nothing else. Nothing else?

[SWALLOWS] Absolutely not one thing else.

That's funny, because I was told

you have to give up mudding. What?

How'd you know? They called me

after they saw you. I don't believe this.

This is a total violation of the doctor-patient...

Cut the bullshit, Louis. You signed the form.

The question is, can you do this?

Of course I can do it. Are you sure?

You couldn't even admit it to me.

I didn't wanna talk about it. It's difficult,

but I can handle it. Nothing means more

than having a family. I do know that,

I also know how your brain works, and you're gonna try

to figure out a way to convince yourself that you can have both.

Okay. I am a grown man, and I am telling you,

if a doctor tells me I have to give up mudding,

then I will give it up. Promise me.

I promise.

[♪♪♪]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[SIGHS] Mom, if you're here

to talk about Marcus... Of course I'm here

to talk about Marcus.

Question is, are you going to let me in or not?

Then go ahead and say your piece,

but it's not gonna change my mind.

Well, I don't know if it will or it won't...

but I came to tell you you're right.

What Marcus did was horrible,

and I understand you being furious,

but Haley's in fifth grade.

She barely knows what gambling is.

She knows what lying is.

She knows her father asked her to do it.

Marcus feels terrible about that.

Yeah, that's what all addicts say.

And your brother has never been as strong as you are,

but that doesn't mean-- This isn't about strength.

No, it's about forgiveness.

And Marcus forgave me, even when I failed you both,

and then he forgave you when you walked away.

Are you saying I owe him?

I'm saying people make mistakes.

Harvey, I know how angry you are...

but you can't let him lose his children.

Because I can tell you from personal experience

there is nothing worse for the parent or the child.

What am I supposed to say to that?

How about if I say what we both know is true?

This is all my fault.

I modeled all of this behavior

for both of you, but please, Harvey,

don't make him pay for my mistakes.

Okay, I'll see what I can do.

But I'm gonna need to ask you some questions.

So make yourself comfortable,

because we're gonna be here for a while.

[♪♪♪]

Thought you were done with me.

I'm your brother.

I'm never gonna be done with you.

You talked to Mom. I did.

She basically said it was all her fault.

Well, it wasn't. I know.

But if I can forgive her, I should be able

to forgive you too.

I figured out a way to get you shared custody.

But I am putting in the agreement,

you ever gamble again, she gets the kids.

You don't live up to that, I don't care what the law says,

I'll represent her to make sure that's what happens.

Okay. Okay.

[SIGHS]

Um...

this claims that Katie's an unfit mother.

You were traveling for work,

and Haley broke her arm at the playground.

Where was Katie? She was in a meeting.

Her phone was off. So you'd think

she'd be more mindful in the future,

but when her son wandered off from camp two years later,

she didn't even bother calling them back

for three hours. She didn't get the message!

When you got the message, you drove there

like a rocket to go find him. Harvey, you're twisting

the facts here. No. I am getting your children.

Not this way, you're not.

I know this doesn't feel good,

but you said it: we need a howitzer.

This is it. I don't care.

Marcus... Katie is a good mother.

She loves those kids. I'm not gonna

let you say these things.

Damn it, Marcus, there's no other way.

You're the best goddamn closer in New York.

Isn't that what you always say?

Well, the best goddamn closer would find another way.

Hey, Dad.

Got you some churros.

Thanks, but I gotta say,

I thought you'd be here an hour ago begging to go home.

Samantha and I went to Otto's Tacos to celebrate.

Celebrate what? Her destroying this dude

in a deposition all because of what I gave her.

She said I did great. What do you mean,

"what you gave her"? I overheard this guy

telling his lawyer they stole our drug formula,

and then I just... Wait a second,

you overheard this? I didn't just overhear it,

I recorded it. Then Samantha used it in a deposition.

Well, she didn't really use it,

she just threatened, which I thought was badass.

I want you to stay the hell away from that woman. What?

You heard me. Aren't you the one

who wanted us to work together?

Not to work together, keep an eye on you,

and definitely not use you. She didn't.

I volunteered. You don't know

because you're 15 years old. Well, I may only be 15,

but I actually came in here to admit I was wrong

for not wanting to come into work.

I can't wait until tomorrow.

Tomorrow's not gonna be like today,

because you're gonna stay away from that woman.

You can't make me! You'd better believe I can.

[♪♪♪]

You really are a piece of work, aren't you?

Shouldn't you be coming in here to thank me

for taking care of your daughter?

You think what you did is what "taking care of" means,

I hope you never get a house plant,

let alone a child. Excuse me?

Joy told me about the stunt you pulled,

and how you told her she did a great job.

Did you tell her it's illegal to record

someone else's conversation? It is not illegal

to record sound in a public space.

That's not what happened.

It doesn't matter, I didn't use

the recording.

I know that, if you had,

we'd have another set of problems.

What would those be?

Because was I did was completely within

the bounds of the law. You don't get it.

I trusted you with my daughter

who's getting in trouble,

then she does something like this.

Instead telling her it was wrong,

you gave her a cookie. What I did was treat her

like an adult and show her how the world works.

She's not an adult. She can learn

how the world works when you and I did, and that's not 15.

Some of us learned a lot younger.

You must have had a shitty upbringing.

A parent's job isn't to teach their kids how the world is.

A parent's job is to teach them how the world should be.

Her parent asked me to get through to her

in the first place because he couldn't do it himself.

Well... that's on me to grapple with.

In the meantime, stay the hell away from my daughter.

[♪♪♪]

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Good morning, Gretchen. How are you--

I'm busy, just like you'd better get.

Which is what I'm doing here. Wait.

What are you talking about? The Nielson depo

got moved up to tomorrow. Tomorrow?

Yes, Joan Walsh wants her quarterly update yesterday.

There are 16 other things waiting for you.

You got lunch with Sheila. I don't know what--

Stop. You need to reschedule half of those things.

Brings me to the last thing: I gotta go to the dentist.

What? Gretchen, no, you can't leave me like this.

Did you hear me?

I got a hole in my tooth the size of Colorado.

And before you ask me to call Lipschitz

because you can't handle the pressure,

he's out of town till next week. Good luck.

[♪♪♪]

Good mudding, Louis.

Good mudding, Louis. Hey, Louis, good mudding.

And good mudding to you. Top of the mudding to you.

Good mudding. Good mudding.

WOMAN [ECHOING]: Good mudding.

MAN: Good mudding.

Mudding...mudding... mudding...

[♪♪♪]

So what's on the agenda for today?

Nothing.

After last night's lecture, I didn't think

I'd be seeing you today. My dad told me

to stay away from you, but he doesn't know anything.

That's not true. Yes, it is.

He's an asshole. Don't say that.

Why not? It's the truth.

I learned more from you than any adult ever,

so if he wants me to stay away from you,

he's wrong. No...

Joy, he's not.

I'm the one who was wrong.

That car I boosted when I was 14?

I didn't tell you the other half of it.

I didn't just get suspended, I got expelled.

Holy shit. Yeah.

After that, I had a choice: either get my shit together

or get nowhere in life.

So by the time I was a senior, I got a scholarship and...

that's how I was able to go to college in the first place.

I don't need a scholarship. My dad's rich.

And if you think that's your father's value,

you don't know anything.

Whether you see it or not, he is looking out for you.

He doesn't look out for me. He tells me what to do.

Telling you what to do is looking out for you.

As someone who didn't have anyone telling me

what to do when I could have really used it...

you have no idea how lucky you are.

So whether you want to listen to him or not, I do,

and we're not working together anymore.

I didn't think you'd take his side.

What can I say, turns out your father's pretty smart.

You should listen to him sometime.

Maybe I will.

He was right about one thing this week...

Yeah? What's that?

You are the cool one.

Joy, what I'm trying to tell you...

is I think maybe your dad is the cool one.

[♪♪♪]

Mind if I sit? Harvey, I told you,

I'm not talking to you without my lawyer.

And I tried to tell you that lawyers

only make things ugly.

Here's proof.

What is this? It's a list of all the times

you put those kids at risk.

This is bullshit. Maybe, but it's the kind

of bullshit that works in court.

You wouldn't do this to me. You'd better believe,

because I care about those kids,

and I know they both need you and Marcus in their lives.

Maybe Marcus should've thought about that

before he did what he did. Yeah, he should have.

But he's thinking about it now,

which is why as much as I'd like to use this...

He won't let me.

What?

I told him this was the only way.

He told me to find another. He doesn't want

to hurt you any more than he already has.

Katie...

he loves you...

and whether or not you're willing

to give the marriage another chance...

he deserves another chance as a father.

I never thought I'd hear something like that

from Harvey Specter.

Well, if there's one thing I've come around on,

when it comes to family, forgiveness

is a hell of a lot better than anger.

I'll think about it.

That's the most I can ask.

[♪♪♪]

Hey. Louis, it's past 3.

We were supposed to go to lunch two hours ago.

I know. Work was a shit-show

so I-- I got you these

to say I'm sorry. Oh...

they're beautiful.

I have a gift for you. Oh, yeah?

What kind of gift? The best kind.

You don't have to give up mudding

because I've decided to get my tubes tied.

What? Why would you...?

Clearly mudding is more important to you

than having a baby, so I thought:

"Why not make it easier?"

That's not... You're gonna tell me

that's not mud under your fingernails?

All right, it is-- but it was just one last time.

How can I trust that's true?

Because I just told you,

work was fucking crazy.

Gretchen was coming at me with 1000 things.

You don't understand. I do understand,

because I'm the one who asked her to come at you.

So let me just get this straight:

you didn't trust me, so you did this to me.

No, I didn't do anything to you.

You made me a promise.

All you had to do was let go of one thing,

and you couldn't. It was a big thing,

and I don't know if it's the only thing.

Now, let me get this straight:

you can't put the needs of our child...

above your own. I'm not saying that.

Then what are you saying?

I may not be a mother, but I know

that's what parenthood means-- So do I.

What happens the first time he's sick

when we have tickets to the ballet?

Or there's a deposition at the same time

as a parent-teacher conference?

Those are different. How?

I would be giving those things up for him,

not for... For me.

No, you're not giving any of it up for me.

You're giving these things up to have a child.

You wanna know what I'm giving up?

Coffee...

and drinking...

and cheese, and my hair color--

not to mention the pain of pushing another human being

out of my body.

If you're not ready to make this sacrifice,

then you're not ready... to have a child.

[♪♪♪]

Sheila, I'm sorry.

I wasn't thinking, and I won't-- I won't--

I'll just get rid of my membership today.

No, you don't have to give up your membership, Louis.

You just have to stop till we get pregnant.

Don't you see?

If I keep it...

I'll be tempted.

Sheila, having a family is far more important to me

than going mudding.

Okay, good.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

Let me guess: you fixed everything,

and you're calling me to tell Robert

you'll be back in the morning.

HARVEY: Okay, mind reader.

What do I have to say to that?

I don't know, Harvey, but...

I'm glad you went.

To tell you the truth...

it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.

I swear it took a piece of me, Donna.

Well, you could look at it that way,

or you could look at it like you chose

to give a piece of yourself.

That's pretty good.

You should be a philosopher.

And who's to say I'm not?

Oh, now, if you'll excuse me, I need to give a piece

of something to someone else.

Thank you, Donna.

♪ ...praise you like I should ♪

♪ I have to praise you... ♪

Donna, no offense, but a cup of coffee

is the last thing I need right now.

Among other things, I'm trying to give up caffeine.

I know that, Louis...

and that's not coffee.

Oh, my God, don't tell me it's...

Iron-rich Peruvian ground silt heated

to the recommended temperature

of 102.68 degrees Fahrenheit. Sheila told you

I sold my membership?

She did. I have to say that's

the most romantic thing I've ever heard.

Thanks, Donna.

And thanks for this.

One more thing.

Something tells me that you're gonna need this

for coffee sooner than you think.

Good night, Louis.

You have a minute?

Depends on what it's for. I shouldn't have said

what I said about your upbringing.

And? Whatever you said to Joy...

I appreciate it. I'm glad.

Is it true, what you told her about family?

I don't want to talk to you about my childhood, Alex.

What is true is you're a good father.

I overstepped my bounds. I'm sorry.

Aww, shit...

What? I told you I'm trying

to teach Joy to do the right thing,

but I haven't done right by you.

You told me Zane promised your name would be next

but I didn't tell you Harvey promised me the same thing.

[SCOFFS]

Well...

now that you have, you wanna give it up?

No. You? No.

You wanna share it?

No. Me either.

I guess there's only one thing left to say.

I guess there is.

When the time comes... May the best woman win.
