Previously, on "Suits"...

You can't put the needs of our child

above your own.

- I'm not saying that. - Then what are you saying?

Because I may not be a mother yet,

but I know that's what parenthood means.

You wanna take me on, you go for it.

'Cause I didn't get where I am by letting

people like you push me around.

David Fox wants a fight,

and I'm gonna give him one.

Are you threatening my job?

I like you, always have.

But if you don't get yourself on the right of this thing

you're never gonna go further than you are right now.

I care about the kids this charity is supposed to serve.

But you wouldn't know that because I just don't...

- trust... - People.

Are you saying you took another job?

No, I'm saying I got someone else to take another job.

You still didn't do what I asked.

I signed a client that's gonna be worth

a huge amount to this firm.

I'm a hell of a goddamn lawyer.

You start paying those people what they're worth...

- And? - You get free legal services

from Harvey Specter himself

for the next year.

You didn't notice that one of your star attorneys

was thinking about leaving.

And now, thanks to me,

he's gonna stay.

- You're talking about Alex. - Sometimes, you need

to let us do what we do the way we do it.

Hello, stranger... seems the only thing

I see of you lately

- is your name on the wall. - That's because

I've been out of town a few days,

and I need your help.

- Give it to me. - I've got a legal situation,

- and it's personal. - Which means

you need me to send one of ours your way.

I was thinking Alex Williams.

Would you mind if I ask

why you didn't just call him yourself?

I was thinking about

a conversation we had a few weeks ago.

You helped me see some things about fostering firm harmony.

And if you called him directly,

you wouldn't have had a chance to tell me that.

Right again, Red.

I'm guessing firm harmony is also why

you want Alex and not Samantha.

A little bit of that,

and a little of the nature of the case.

Then why don't you tell me where you are,

what Alex needs to bring, and I will make sure

that he is on his way.

Harvey Specter.

David Fox.

To what do I owe the...

What's the opposite of pleasure?

I'm here 'cause of this. It's a deal.

It just needs a little taking care of.

Well, in that case, just go ahead

and throw it in the trash,

'cause I don't work for you and I'm never going to.

Uh, I don't think, you understand

- l'm not asking. - I'm assigning.

This is part of our deal.

I don't have any deal with you.

She didn't tell you, did she?

Who didn't tell me what?

Donna.

We made a deal where you're my lawyer.

I'm holding you both to it.

And if you got a problem with that...

Take it up with her.

Donna. What can I do for you?

You can get your ass into the limo

that's waiting for you downstairs.

- I didn't call a limo. - I know you didn't.

Robert Zane did.

And where exactly is Robert sending me?

Upstate New York.

He has some business he needs help with.

So whatever needs fixing, fix it fast.

Did you go through my underwear drawer?

As fun as that would have made my morning,

no, Alex, I didn't.

I bought a bag with exactly everything

you'll need for as long as you're gone.

And how could you possibly know

that's everything I'll need?

Because Robert needed me to.

And because I'm Donna.

Limo's not gonna wait all day, Alex.

Morning, Harvey. What can I do for you?

You can tell me David Fox isn't my client.

I'm sorry, I can't do that, because he is.

For a year. Free of charge.

How is that possible?

It's possible because you empowered me

to negotiate with him, and that's what

it took to get it done.

And when were you gonna tell me

- about this brilliant idea of yours? - I already did tell you

when I added him to your updated client roster.

You know damn well I don't read

- my updated client roster. - Okay.

You got me.

I just wanted to see the look on your face

when he came to you and you realized

you didn't have a choice.

And there it is.

- You think this is funny? - No, Harvey.

I don't.

And the real reason I didn't tell you

is because I knew you'd react like a child.

But I made a deal that you gave me

the authority to make because you knew

you couldn't come to one yourself,

so whatever it is you're feeling,

suck it up, take one for the team,

and get this thing done.

Sheila, I know we're trying to conceive,

but I can't have sex with you right now.

I just ate an onion bagel.

I'm not calling for that, Louis.

Well, then, why'd you call on the sex phone?

Because I knew you'd answer, and...

I just couldn't wait to tell u.

Louis...

We hit the jackpot.

What jackpot?

The jackpot.

- Publisher's Clearing House? - No.

I mean we don't need the sexphone anymore

because... well, Louis... you hit the bull's-eye.

Oh, my God! My boys can swim?

Yes, my king.

- Yes, they can. - Ohh,

th... Sheila, this is amazing! We need to tell my...

Louis... I know you're gonna want to tell everyone,

but, before you do, I want you to promise

that we'll keep this between the two of us for a while.

Wait, so you mean not tell anyone?

Yeah, just for a while.

Okay, Sheila, can you hold on a sec?

I think I'm getting a call.

Oh. Ughm. Okay.

It was just a billing question.

- All taken care of. - You just jumped up and down

in your entirely glass office, didn't you?

Yes, but I stopped now.

Then I'll see you tonight.

And we can celebrate properly.

Ah, Gretchen. Good, you're here.

Listen, I need you to file...

Sheila's pregnant, isn't she?

Oh, shit, how could you know that?

Two minutes ago, you were on your sex phone.

Then you started dancing up and down like "Footloose,"

pointing to your nether regions.

- What else could it be? - Nothing else.

Gretchen.

I'm gonna have a baby.

I can't believe I'm saying this, Louis.

You're gonna be

- a world-class father. - That I am.

And I intend to be a part of every moment,

which is why I need you to look into what it takes

to get certified as a midwife.

If you think I'm gonna be midwife to your baby,

you got a whole nother thing coming.

No, not for you, for me.

- And I'm out. - What?

You think I couldn't do it?

- I know you couldn't. - Well, damn it, Gretchen.

Do you want to be a wet nurse too?

You know what? I would if I could.

And you just said that I would be a great father.

So are you gonna help me with this or not?

All right, Louis. I'll look into it.

But it's like I said before.

You're gonna be a great father.

Okay, David.

What exactly is it that you want?

Because you certainly don't need me to hold your hand

while you buy a building.

I do if that building's owner is my biggest rival.

And because that owner knows what an asshole you are,

you need to make sure he doesn't know

you're the one doing the buying.

See, this is why I'm paying you the big bucks.

Oh, wait, I'm not paying you anything.

Just so we're clear, you get one of those.

Because I may have to represent you,

but I don't have to tolerate your mouth.

And just so we're clear,

this guy's a douche, not an idiot.

He's gonna be looking for me to try to buy

that building, so I need you to be smart.

And that's the second time you've brought this up.

Which makes me wonder if there's something

going on here, because hiding a buyer

isn't illegal, but it sure as hell can be.

The only thing going on here is that John Billows has

a piece of candy and I want to take it from him.

One other thing.

This is my business.

So you take this on, you get it done,

or you don't take it on at all.

Robert. Good to see you.

Thanks for coming, Alex. How was the drive?

Scenic. Let me guess. The owner's our client.

The owner's me.

I gotta tell you, Robert, making wine's

not exactly the hobby I pictured for you.

It's not a hobby, it's an investment.

And right now, it's netting less than zero.

What can I do to help?

Why don't we first start with a little tour?

Samantha, can I talk to you for a second?

Sure, what's on your mind?

You and Alex and Robert and Harvey...

Harvey's got a case that he doesn't want,

but there's nothing that says that he can't

get a little outside help on it.

Don't tell me you're trying to give me a leg up

with Harvey, because you wouldn't do that

and I don't need it.

You're right. I wouldn't.

But sooner or later, it's gonna be

either you or Alex who go up on that wall next,

and no matter who goes up there first,

the other team isn't gonna be happy about it.

But the more we're bonded as a family

before that happens, the more likely

we'll stay a family after it does.

Then I just have one question.

When you said Harvey doesn't want

to take the case but he has to...

- I did. - Why?

Because I struck a deal with David Fox,

and Harvey can't stand him.

- Can you? - Not particularly.

Then why don't you get me up to speed

before I go pay a visit to this David Fox.

Well?

- I'm more of a craft brew... - Oh, save the bullshit.

I know. It tastes like ass. That's my problem.

So you want me to fire your winemaker?

No, I want you to go after the son of a bitch

who didn't deliver the barrels that I paid for.

Because I had to let my wine stay in these vats,

and it turned into that vinegar you're now holding.

And no one's interested in buying vinegar.

I lost my entire harvest!

Shit.

What did the guy say

when you called about the barrels?

That they'd be here tomorrow.

And tomorrow. And tomorrow.

And meanwhile, all my neighbors got their barrels just fine.

Which makes me think there's more going on here

than it looks like.

You think this is about race?

I think, between the looks I got at the bank

and the cold shoulder I got at the market

- and now this... - You've seen this movie before.

Different cast,

different location,

but the same damn script.

Robert, if that's what's going on here,

I'm not sure a lawsuit is gonna get these guys to back off.

Look, I'm not saying they're wearing white robes.

I'm saying they're trying to keep me out of the country club.

- What do you want to do? - I want to send a message

that if they try this shit again,

there's not gonna be a country club.

The great Harvey Specter walking through my door.

Now I know I'm a big deal.

Not as big as the deal

I'm about to offer you, Mr. Billows.

Oh, I like you already.

Then you're really gonna love my client.

Santana Developers.

They're an up-and-coming real estate firm

from the southwest, and, fortunately for you,

they've taken an interest in your redevelopment project

on Liberty Avenue.

Have they, now?

Well, that's a shame, 'cause it's not for sale.

And there's no southwest firm that I've never heard of.

All right. You got me.

My client's associated closely with the government of Dubai.

A fact they'd rather not announce,

and, in exchange for that secrecy,

they're willing to offer you this.

Thank you for your time.

John, that's 25% over market value.

All cash.

And I told you, I'm not selling.

Least of all to David Fox.

All right, John, look...

All right, look, I'll give you credit.

I mean, you do live up to your reputation.

'Cause a fallback straw man

is something even I never thought of.

And if you really knew my reputation,

you'd know a straw man is just my first move.

You don't want to see what I'm gonna

come at you with next.

Well, I believe you'll try to cut off my financing.

But my partners are in China.

And I've been in bed with them for ten years.

They trust me implicitly.

Good day, Mr. Specter.

My regards to David Fox.

Louis, I can't believe

you got us a reservation here so quickly.

Sheila, you're gonna be the mother of my son.

I'm getting you in wherever you want to go.

- Son? - Or daughter.

Well, here's to watching either one of them

take ballet lessons and tap and learn to twirl the baton.

Oh, my God, I get to teach him the baton.

I can't wait. It's why I want to have a boy.

And I can't wait because we're gonna be a family.

And we're gonna do everything together.

We're gonna get ready in the morning together.

We're gonna go on vacations together.

We're gonna get to visit him at Camp Brucha

and see him come running out in his little...

Wait a second. Camp Brucha?

No, Sheila, I know I told you that the kids there

burned all my underwear, but

I'm telling you, it made me stronger.

Louis, your underwear isn't what I'm talking about.

I meant Brucha is a Jewish camp.

- Yeah, so what? - So it never occurred to me

that you'd want to raise our child Jewish.

Of course I do.

I thought it went without saying.

Just like I thought it went without saying

that we wouldn't raise them anything.

- Why would you think that? - Okay, Louis.

How would your parents feel if we said

we were gonna raise our child Catholic?

Exactly.

That's how my parents would feel

if we raised our child Jewish.

- Yeah, but it's different. - Not to me, it isn't.

- Sheila... - Louis, please.

This is supposed to be a celebration.

Can't you just let it go?

Of course, Sheila.

Consider it gone.

Miles Newton.

Yes?

My name is Alex Williams.

I represent Robert Zane.

- Represent? - That's right.

He's suing you for breach of contract.

This is ridiculous.

I told him it was a clerical error.

And that error cost him his yield for the season.

Look, I also told him that I'll comp him

all the barrels that he needs next year to make up for it.

There may not be a next year because you

cheated my client out of money, and now

you're gonna pay him back, plus his lost revenue,

and any other damages I can hang on you.

If I cheated him, then why would I give

the new guy in town, your guy, a cut-rate deal?

What are you talking about?

My other clients paid 5% more.

Your client was the one who actually got a break.

A 30% discount.

And did the other vintners know you were doing that?

We're a community up here, Mr. Williams.

We protect our own.

So they gave the new guy a break,

and they took the hit,

so you want to slap me with a lawsuit?

Go ahead, and we will just see who wins.

Look at you sweating it out in the law library

like a first-year.

I didn't know you could read.

I'm just looking at the pictures.

Then why don't you let me help you

figure out how to get that building.

Excuse me?

Donna thought you could use some backup

dealing with David Fox.

- Donna did, or you did? - What does that mean?

It means you want to impress me

so when the time comes, I'll vote for you.

Well, let me tell you something,

that's never gonna happen.

I know that. And I'm here

because I just might have a solution to your Fox problem.

So you can either trust me or you can figure out

how to get out of this yourself.

But for the record,

not everything I do comes with a price tag.

This was Donna's idea?

Yeah, it was.

Well, then, why don't you sit down,

and I'll bring you up to speed.

I have a better idea.

Why don't I sit down and tell you

how we're gonna get that building.

How did it go?

Exactly as planned.

In that case, why don't we have a drink to celebrate,

and then we'll take care of everything tomorrow.

As long as you have a beer or some scotch,

because I'm not drinking any more of that vinegar shit.

Don't worry.

Neither am I.

Robert, I gotta ask.

You're a scotch guy. You're a lawyer.

Why come up here to buy a vineyard?

My sister.

She died years ago.

We used to drink wine together,

and we didn't know shit about vintage or tannins.

We just knew what we liked.

And when I drink wine, I think about her.

I didn't know you had a sister.

Well, now you do.

I worked a case with Rachel last year,

got me thinking about her even more.

And I realized...

I like thinking about her even more.

Then here's to making sure you're thinking of her

till you're old and gray.

Got that right.

Ohhh, thanks for making time for me, Esther.

I really appreciate it.

I have to tell you, Louis,

I haven't stopped smiling since you told me the news.

Have you told Mom and Dad?

Actually, that's the reason I wanted to talk to you.

- Okay. - Sheila and I were talking.

We're not raising the baby Jewish.

I need you to help me explain that to Mom and Dad,

and I need to know how upset you think they'll be.

How much would it upset you

to be ostracized by them for the rest of your life?

Tell you the truth, I could think of worse things.

Louis. I-It...

It would crush them, and you know it.

You're Jewish.

You should raise your children Jewish.

Wait a second, wait a second.

You feel the same way too?

I think this is between you and Sheila.

It's not up to me.

But if you want the truth, I always thought

if you ever had kids, that they would go to Camp Brucha

like mine did, like you and I did.

I know. I do too. Remember?

♪ Because... ♪

- ♪ We're all mishpucha ♪ - ♪ We're all mishpucha ♪

- ♪ Here at Camp Brucha ♪ - ♪ Here at Camp Brucha ♪

Anyway, that's not gonna happen, because

the way this whole thing started,

when I brought up Brucha to Sheila,

she nearly choked on her water.

Wait a second, she's driving this?

Of course she is. You think I want this?

I just said the goddamn camp pledge.

Then you need to tell her how you're feeling.

I tried talking to her about it.

She made it clear she didn't want to,

and here we are.

Louis, I want to talk to you about Jeffrey.

Jeffrey's an asshole.

No, he's not, Louis.

He's the father of my children,

and the reason our marriage fell apart

wasn't because of what he did to me

but because of what he didn't do with me.

Express how he felt about you being the breadwinner.

Yes.

So if you want me to help you break the news

to Mom and Dad, I will, but I'm not gonna do it

until you tell Sheila how you're feeling.

All right, what do we have here?

I'll tell you what we have.

I got a building; I don't want to sell it;

and these two are in here crying to you.

You don't have a lawyer?

I don't need a goddamn lawyer.

We're not crying.

We are representing the community.

Because that building was built in 1896,

and all we're asking for is a TRO

until the landmark commission

- can make a decision. - Give me a break.

They're not representing the community.

They're representing David Fox.

I did not say he was my client.

And even if he did, that doesn't mean

this is connected to that.

How about the fact that Mr. Fox has been shoveling

my biggest tenant tens of thousands of dollars

a month to stay in his lease so I couldn't kick him out?

Is that connected?

- What? - Your Honor.

Those payments are repayments for an unrelated debt.

Bullshit. Peter Minto doesn't have

two pennies to rub together,

much less tens of thousands to loan David Fox.

And the details of someone's personal financial arrangements

- are not your business. - That's enough.

You two want to push this up the hill

with the landmark commission, be my guest,

but I see no reason to stop this man

from making a living in the meantime.

Your restraining order is denied.

Okay, what we need to do...

How the hell did you find out

about those payments?

I'll tell you how.

You went to Fox behind my back.

No. I had your back.

You had nothing. I brought you something.

Well, that something just blew up in our faces,

because he's been using those payments

to launder money, peddle influence,

- or God knows what other crime - And that is exactly

why I didn't tell you, because Donna told me

- you don't trust him. - You're damn right

I don't trust him.

Because when a man like that hides money,

it's not because he's secretly donating to Goodwill.

Harvey, he is our client.

No. He's not.

- You can't just drop him. - Yes, I can.

Because I don't give a shit about Donna's deal.

I'm not representing a client that lies to my face!

What's the matter, Mr. Newton?

- You don't look happy to be here. - I'm not.

I don't appreciate being subpoenaed.

Well, if you don't appreciate that,

you're definitely not gonna appreciate this.

You're accusing my client of intent to defraud?

That's what he did, isn't it?

I didn't do anything

except be a little bit late with your barrels.

What you did was entice my client

with a discount, then sabotage his yield

because you knew the other vintners

would make you whole.

- My client did no such thing. - Yes, he did.

He admitted it to my face last night, and now,

instead of a lawsuit,

you're looking at criminal charges.

Criminal charges? Are you out of your mind?

They can't do this to me, can they?

Look at his face.

It says we can.

It should be more than that, you son of a bitch.

What the hell is your problem?

You know what my problem is?

The oldest problem in the book for a man like me.

And I'm putting a stop to it right now.

Race? Race, is that what you think this is about?

I know that's what this is about.

- Oh, you pompous piece of shit. - Miles.

No, no. I am not gonna sit here

and let him accuse me of that.

You want to know why you didn't get your barrels?

Because you don't deserve them.

- And there it is. - No, no, no, no.

See, our families have worked

those vineyards for generations,

and you just come waltzing in here

with your Wall Street money, acting like you own the place,

and you've been here for, what, ten minutes?

We've been here our whole lives.

You bought out that man before you

after he had one down year.

And we're not gonna let you get away with it.

You tell yourself whatever you want.

But you're right about one thing.

I'm a big, bad motherfucker,

and I'm here to drink your goddamn milkshake.

Let me guess, Samantha told you

- what I'm about to do. - Yeah, she did.

Oh, so she keeps shit from me

- but shares it with you. - Don't make this about her.

She does what she wants, just like you do.

- You're taking her side? - I'm taking my side.

Because you may be done with this case,

but she's gonna keep working on it

because, unlike you, she cares about my reputation.

You think I don't care about you?

You're in your position because I put you there.

No, Harvey, I'm in my position

because I fucking earned it!

Now, if you want to talk about things you did,

you authorized me to negotiate this deal,

and if you don't honor it, Fox is gonna tell the world,

and how's that gonna go the next time

I try to come to an agreement with anyone?

It'll go fine because he has no integrity.

- Nobody will believe him. - Okay.

Let me put this in words that you'll understand.

I have integrity.

You let him go, you're making me a liar.

You want to talk about a liar?

He lied to my face.

And so have a thousand other clients.

You were just waiting for an opportunity

- to let him go. - Because we never

should've taken him on in the first place.

Well, we did, and like I said,

you drop him, you're making me a liar.

And I don't care if the rest of the world knows it or not.

You'll know it, and I'll know it.

Now, you go ahead and do what you want.

You always do anyway.

Louis, what a surprise. I was just reading.

Listen. Sheila... we need to talk.

About what?

I want to raise our child Jewish.

Louis, I thought we talked about this.

No, Sheila, we didn't,

because we were celebrating, and you told me to let it go.

And I tried to let it go,

but then I talked to Esther.

- And now I can't. - Okay, so you talked to Esther

after you said we wouldn't tell anyone yet?

Yes, I did, because she's my family.

I get it, so you and your sister

have a long conversation about Sheila, the shiksa.

Sheila, it's not like that.

Esther helped me realize that I don't care

what my parents think.

I don't care what your parents think.

It's what's important to me.

And how about what's important to me?

That's why I want to talk this out.

Because I don't want to end up resenting you for this.

And I don't want to resent you either,

so why don't you tell me why this is so important to you.

What's so important is that it's a part of who I am.

And being Catholic is a part of who I am.

But you said you were not religious.

And so did you.

That's what I am trying to explain to you.

Being Jewish isn't just a religion to me.

It's in my blood.

And you don't think it's the same for me?

- No, I don't. - Then you don't get it.

Because when I said my parents wouldn't like this,

what I meant was, the people who raised me,

who are my blood, have had a hard enough time

accepting the fact that I don't practice anymore.

And I don't want to separate myself from them

by telling them that my child

is going to be different than all of us.

Sheila, I can't just rip this out of me.

Louis, I'm not asking you to rip it out of you.

I just don't want to raise our child one way or another.

You know what, to me, it's the same damn thing.

Then I don't know what to tell you.

Neither do I.

Neither do I.

Samantha, can I talk to you for a minute?

Looks like you need more than that.

I tried to talk Harvey out of dropping Fox,

but I'm not sure I convinced him.

- And? - I told him you said

you'd keep working on the case anyway.

That's funny, because I didn't say that.

No. You didn't.

But the reason I told him you did is...

Because you gave Fox your word.

And even if Harvey doesn't live up to it, I can.

Exactly.

It looks like I've got some more work to do.

Because I'm not gonna make a liar out of you.

- Thank you, Samantha. - No need to thank me, Donna.

I'm sure you'd do the same for me.

Louis, what's going on?

It's not usual for you to come in so many times in one week.

What did Harvey get into now?

This isn't about Harvey. It's about Sheila.

I need you to convince her to raise our children Jewish.

Louis, I'm not going to do that.

Why not? I know,

she came to see you that time.

Did you think I wouldn't find out about that one?

No, I assumed you would find out

when I explicitly told her to tell you about it.

Well, if you can order her to do that,

why can't you order her to raise our children Jewish?

What kind of therapist are you?

Louis.

I know I've told you this before,

and I know you refuse to believe me,

but my parents were Jews in Nazi Germany,

and there was a point for them

where they discussed renouncing their Judaism

for a chance to save their lives.

They didn't.

So... I understand as much as anyone

the value of maintaining a Jewish identity.

- But? - But, to me,

the heart of Judaism is family.

What're you saying?

I'm saying, if you can't be on

the same page about how to raise your children,

maybe you should discuss not having them.

It's too late for that.

Ah.

Then, Louis,

I would say it's more important

that you make a decision together

than what that decision is.

Thanks, Stan.

You're welcome, Louis.

And there's just one more small matter before we move on.

What's that?

Mazel tov, my friend.

Mazel tov.

Where have you been?

I gave you a chance to calm down.

Because, Robert, we need to talk.

We do.

About how we're gonna make them pay.

That's the thing.

I think we should try to work this out.

Are you goddamn kidding me?

Robert, he admitted to a crime

to convince us he was telling us the truth.

Because he probably believes his own bullshit.

Well, I don't care what he believes.

There's no way, if I'm white,

we're in this situation right now.

I'm not gonna tell you you're wrong.

But you are wrong about how to handle this situation.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means we take him at his word.

Okay.

Let's say that you're right

and this is more about my money than the color of my skin.

I'm not gonna let that son of a bitch

push me out no matter what the reason.

I've been putting up with this shit

for more years than you've been on this earth,

and I've accepted that the way to deal with it

is to bury a part of myself.

Well, I don't have to do that anymore,

and you're gonna do what I say.

No, sir, I'm not,

because the world's a shitty place

and I'm not gonna make it worse.

And I don't give a shit if you're my boss.

I'm your goddamn lawyer.

And you're either gonna take my advice

or you can hire someone else.

Then call yourself a car, and get the hell out of here.

I'll handle it myself.

I hope you're here to tell me you got it done.

I'm here to give you one last chance.

'Cause I know about the payments

to Peter Minto, and so does Billows.

Shit.

Well, how much does he know?

I'm not here about what he knows.

I'm here about what I don't, because I asked you

if something shady is going on, you lied to my face,

and the only reason I haven't dropped you yet

is Donna gave you her word.

You know what, you wouldn't understand.

I understand money laundering,

and, knowing the kind of man you are,

it's exactly what's going on here.

You know, you don't know shit about the kind of man I am.

Then tell me right now.

What the hell is Peter Minto giving you

in exchange for $10,000 a month?

It was nice representing you, David.

It's not what he's giving me.

It's what he gave me.

What does that mean?

I was 13 years old. I didn't have any money.

I needed a pack of cigarettes.

So I took one from Minto's Market.

And then I thought, you know, while I'm at it,

I might as well take a bunch of other shit.

- He didn't press charges. - No, he didn't.

But he did make me work it off.

Next thing I knew, he took me under his wing.

Look, I gave him that money because if I didn't,

he'd go out of business, and if I can't get this building,

he's gonna go out of business anyway.

Why didn't you just tell me this in the first place?

For the same reason I don't want anyone to know it.

All right, I need people to believe that I'm ruthless.

Well, wouldn't you rather have people know you're loyal

than have them think you're an asshole?

Look, Peter Minto taught me how to do business

as a gentleman, but there's a reason

he can't keep his business alive and I can.

Well...

I can't say I agree with you...

but I'll get you your building.

Donna. You're up late.

I'm up late because you said

this thing would be done by now,

and I haven't heard from you,

which makes me wonder... how's it going?

I'll tell you how it's going.

Instead of getting closer with Alex,

I had to send him packing.

What? How did that happen?

It happened because I'm his client

and he wouldn't listen to a word I said.

Look, I want to say something,

but I'm hesitant to say it because it's not something

I would normally say to a managing partner.

- Speak your mind. - Well, I don't know

what the issue is, but I do know

when a lawyer and a client have a falling out,

more often than not, it's because

the client wouldn't listen to the lawyer,

not the other way around.

In particular, when that lawyer

is Alex Williams.

- Is that all? - That's it.

I hope you get whatever it is taken care of, Robert.

Are you still working the Fox case?

I believe Donna told you I was,

and Donna's no liar, why?

Because I'm back in.

- What changed your mind? - Fox did.

Turns out those payments were because Peter Minto

was Fox's mentor.

He wasn't laundering anything.

He was trying to save that market.

So he was basically donating to Goodwill after all.

I guess he was.

Wait a minute.

Goodwill.

- Public good. - What do you got?

There's a public good requirement for any project.

Yeah, and this one has it covered

with the subsidized housing.

Because that way,

his Chinese investors have to cover it.

- How do you know that? - Because I got a copy of their agreement,

and if that good

is residential, they take the hit.

If it's commercial, Billows does,

and Minto's Market is a commercial public good.

Which means all we need to do is tell those Chinese investors

their trusted partner's been screwing them.

And Billows either loses his partners

or foots the bill himself.

Which puts him between a rock and a hard place.

And his only way out is to sell to David Fox.

Look at that.

We make a pretty good team, don't we?

Maybe.

But the only problem is,

it makes this whole project a money loser for Fox.

So what? He said he's been subsidizing Minto anyway.

Privately. This is in the public eye,

which means everyone's gonna think

he's either soft or stupid, and I'm telling you,

it's that man's worst nightmare.

What do you want to do?

- Can you get to the Chinese? - I can.

You handle them, and I'll handle David Fox.

Sounds like a plan.

Are you sure you can handle them?

Ni gan dadu wo keyi.

Yeah, but can you handle them?

- What now? - I'm calling to say I'm sorry.

I lost my shit.

Truth is,

if I was in your position,

I'd probably feel the same way.

Well, you're not in my position.

You're my lawyer. And if I'm not gonna listen to you

and go ahead and handle this thing myself...

You've got a fool for a client.

Something like that.

Anyway, I think I may have a way through this.

- What you got? - You said that you wanted

to take them at their word.

If we did that, the problem is,

we're dealing with a community that feels threatened.

So I was thinking,

insurance covers my losses this year.

Next year, my barrels are free,

and then I can build a community tasting room

that we all can share.

That's very generous of you, Robert.

Mind if I ask you what brought you around?

Two things. A conversation with a friend.

And?

Where I grew up, community was everything.

We were tight and close,

mistrusting of outsiders, and...

if someone had come in and done what I did to them...

The community wouldn't have taken too kindly to it,

no matter what the color of their skin.

So I thought maybe we're not so different after all.

Copy that.

So you're gonna propose all of that to them tomorrow.

Robert, I think

if you're gonna be a part of this community,

we ought to propose it to them together.

So get your ass back up here then.

And Alex... don't ever call me a fool again.

Welcome home, Louis.

Is that...

Yes, it is.

Your mother's kugel.

How did you...

- Your sister called. - Don't tell me.

She tried to convince you to see it my way.

No, Louis, she called

to tell me, whatever happens,

she loves me

and wants to welcome me to the family.

So why the kugel?

Because my sister never would have done that for me.

Louis, I may not be ready

to make this decision right now,

but what we were really struggling with

was how to blend our identities.

So I thought, what better way to do that

than by starting with kugel?

Well, if we're gonna be doing that,

I don't see why we can't also have

a Christmas tree this year.

- You'd be open to that? - Yes, I would.

Because I saw Dr. Lipschitz today.

Sheila, he reminded me

that the foundation of everything is family.

So I've been thinking...

Stop right there. I've been thinking too.

You asked me last time.

I'd like to ask you this time.

Louis Marlowe Litt...

Will you marry me?

Yes, Sheila, I will.

Morning.

I was just thinking about our wedding.

Louis...

I was thinking maybe we can make it a destination.

I don't want to talk about our wedding right now.

Why not?

I got my period. I'm not pregnant.

- But the test said that you... - It was a false positive.

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.

You know what this is?

It's just a bump in the road.

That's all this is.

Just a pause.

And sweetie, there's a bright side.

Because it gave us a chance

to have really tough conversations.

And that way, when we do get pregnant,

and we will get pregnant,

we'll be ready in a way that we weren't ready before.

Are you okay?

I will be.

Please tell me you didn't tell anyone other than Esther.

I told Gretchen.

You need to untell her that.

Hello, Robert.

I assume you're calling me with good news.

How do you know that?

Don't you know by now I have a sense for these things?

I just wanted to call and say thank you, Donna.

We worked it out.

You and Alex?

Me, Alex, everybody up here.

And it wouldn't have happened

without you calling me on my shit.

You know how they say doctors make the worst patients?

Same goes for lawyers?

No. Lawyers are much worse.

I guess they are.

Which is why I'm glad I have someone like you.

Wow... calling to thank me,

valuing my leadership, and giving me

an endearing nickname... Robert, if we're not careful,

we could become full-blown friends.

Oh, that's a chance I'm willing to take.

See you soon, Pops.

Right back at you, Red.

Let me get this straight, you're telling me

you can get me the building, but it's gonna

cost me more to keep Peter in business

than I was paying in the first place?

And on top of that,

the whole world's gonna know about it,

because Billows is gonna make sure they know it.

Are you trying to stick it to me even more?

I want you to know the cost of this thing

before you make a decision.

- This is bullshit. God damn it. - David.

You could have done better.

And you could've told me the full fucking story

before I only had two days to stop it.

So either I look like a sucker

or I let the guy who gave me my start go out of business.

Helping Peter Minto stay in business

doesn't make you a sucker.

It does to the world.

David, the deal is what it is.

If I could make it any better, I would, but I can't.

What would you do?

As your lawyer, I'd tell you

get your emotions in check.

It's a shitty deal and a stupid move.

But if I were in your shoes, I'd take it.

Take it.

You know, I never thought I'd be saying this,

but... you earned my respect.

Well, don't you look like the cat that ate the canary.

I do. And that canary's name is Robert Zane.

Let me guess.

He called you and started unleashing compliments

like you were his family.

How'd you know?

He gets like that sometimes.

Well, I was thinking that I wanted

to treat him like family right back,

and maybe you could give me some advice

on getting him a gift.

Oh, no, Donna. You don't want to do that.

What? Why not?

He's a terrible gift receiver.

You're kidding.

I once gave him vintage copies

of "Inherit the Wind," "To Kill a Mockingbird,"

and "Twelve Angry Men" for his birthday.

The next year, I found them in his drawer

with the bow still tied on.

He's a lawyer. They're books about the law.

- Did you say something? - No.

I just took them back. He didn't even notice.

I'm gonna regift it to him when he retires.

- What? - Harvey's the opposite.

- Great gift receiver. - Awful gift giver.

Heart's in the right place, but two weeks in,

I realized if I ever really wanted

to enjoy my birthday present,

I was gonna have to buy it myself.

Do you still?

Got these for the last one.

32, if you're wondering.

Speak of the devil.

Look who's walking in empty-handed.

- What are you talking about? - Nothing, Harvey.

Well, as long as you're both here,

you weren't just right about Fox.

You were right about taking him on in the first place,

and you were also right about getting her to help me.

If I didn't know any better, Donna,

I'd say he's apologizing to you.

That's funny, I was thinking he was apologizing to you.

Well, I can understand why we're both confused.

It's a pretty weak apology.

He didn't even use the word "sorry."

I don't even think he knows the word "sorry."

- Are you two finished? - We're just getting started.

- Take a chair, Harvey. - And pour us a couple

of drinks while you're at it.

If I'd known this was gonna happen,

I wouldn't have said anything, much less "I'm sorry."

Ooh, look at that. He does know the word.

- Yeah, just not how to use it. - Mm-hmm.

Louis, where have you been all day?

I needed to spend some time with Sheila.

Well, I've got good news.

I found a midwife class for you.

Turns out, you're not the only mid-aged white man

that wants to be Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.

That's great.

But I'm gonna need you to cancel it.

Louis, what's wrong?

It was a false positive.

We're not gonna have a baby.

I'm so sorry.

But that doesn't mean that she...

I know that, Gretchen.

I just need a little time to myself.

Of course.

You don't have to be strong for me, Louis.
