All language subtitles for Suits - 07x13

Previously, on "Suits":

It was years ago,

and it was only one time,

but Donna and I slept together.

I understand why you go after

the unattainable woman.

You are titillated by
what you cannot have.

But I can have her, Doc.

The only circumstances

under which you can have her

are if you choose to be
the bad boy.

This is the second time

that you haven't told me
the full truth

in as many conversations,

and right now, what I need
is some time to myself.

- Paula, please--
- No.

If you can't put
my need to process

over your need to feel okay

about yourself,

then I'm afraid
we'll never get past this.

Louis.

What are you do--

[melancholy music]

We're going into
your building,

and we're going in there
right now.

I'm ready to be your bad boy.

It was 12 years ago.

I've come so far.

I made peace with my mom,

and you're the one
that helped me with that,

not Donna.

So, the question is,

you still want to come with me?

I do, Harvey.

[footsteps]

Hey.

Hey.

Want a cup of coffee?

Is it the morning?

You know, for someone
who doesn't cook,

you make surprisingly good
coffee.

As I recall, I made you
a delicious steak dinner

not too long ago.

Yeah, and we both know

that grilling isn't cooking.

Obviously, you've never had

a double Whopper with cheese.

True, but I can't imagine

it has anything on this coffee.

Put something extra in it,
don't you?

Vanilla.

What?

Paula,

I know the last few days
have been rough,

but I promise you,
from now on,

I'm not gonna keep
something important from you

just because I'm scared.

Thank you, Harvey.

[somber music]

What do you say
we go out tonight,

have a nice dinner,

and remind ourselves

why we're together
in the first place?

Yeah, that'd be nice.
I'd like that.

Shit.

My cell's in the living room.

I know someone's there.

You should know,
I'm armed and dangerous,

so get out now
while you still can.

This is your last chance.

I have a gun,
and I'm ready to use it.

Good.

But that's not the gun
I'm here for.

So you better be
locked and loaded,

because your only choice now

is to fill me with lead.

Oh, my gosh,
this is so hot.

Louis, stay in character.

I'm the burglar.

I-I got it.

And you're about to be
stripped clean.

Yeah, I am.

What are you gonna
make off with, you thief?

My money?
My bonds? My jewels?

[laughs] Oh,
I'm after your jewels.

I found them!

Teddy, what are you
doing here?

I thought you were off
sailing around the world.

And I thought you were in
the office down the hall.

Then I guess the news
didn't make it to Macau.

Jessica's out.
I'm Managing Partner.

Louis is number two,
and Donna's our new COO.

Oh, glad to hear some people
still get rewarded

for loyalty and hard work.

- What does that mean?
- It means I got a call

from the crew captain
at my old factory.

Apparently, Adidas got an offer
they couldn't refuse,

sold the company to
Kurt Baxter.

Teddy, there's no way
that guy

keeps your company intact.

Why do you think I'm here?

Baxter's gonna ship
all the labor overseas,

which means my guys
are permanently out of work.

I get that you want to
stop this,

but you sold the company,

and they sold it
to someone else.

We don't have a legal leg
to stand on.

Harvey, I built my company
on those guys' backs.

I gave them my word
that they'd be protected.

If I let them get tossed out,

I'm as bad as Baxter.

Now, I know I'm asking for
the impossible, but...

isn't the impossible
what you do?

All right, Teddy.
I'll see what I can do.

Hey,
whatever you're working on,

what's the timeline?

Uh, it's not urgent,
if that's what you're asking.

So why are you asking?

Teddy Doyle just came
to see me.

I thought he retired.

He did, but

situation's come up,

and he asked for my help.

What kind of situation?

The kind that includes
Kurt Baxter

buying his old company

and laying off
the whole factory.

And if you're coming to me

to stop Baxter from doing that,

it must mean that there is
no way we can.

Just like there was no way
for you

to sue your own client
in a class action,

or get into
the New York State Bar

after going to prison.

You're right, I do leap
tall buildings

in a single bound.

Good call,
coming to me for help.

That's why I'm
Managing Partner.

Harvey, why doesn't Teddy
just buy his company

back from this bastard,
call it a day?

Because Teddy sold it
for 200,

Baxter wants 500,

and unless you got
an extra 300 mil laying around,

he doesn't have the money.
- Well, that's it.

What do you got?

Baxter doesn't care
where he makes his money from.

He just cares that it's green.

So we need to figure out

how to make more money

keeping the factory open
than closed,

and those workers are safe.

And I might still have time
to fly around the city tonight.

You know I'm not just
gonna let you

keep calling yourself Superman
and get away with it, right?

Because that only leaves you
with Aquaman?

He can breathe underwater.

All right, fine, Harvey.
You can still be Batman.

Or Green Lantern,
or Wonder Woman.

I can just keep doing this.
How about Hawkman, huh?

[tranquil music]

Okay.
The Silent Man it is.

♪ ♪

Gretchen.

What are you
bellowing about now?

Oh, I don't know.
Maybe the fact that

I'm sitting here with
a freshly blended prunie,

30 minutes to myself,
and no morning newspaper?

That's because when I went
to get you one, they were out.

Well, then,
why don't you go to

the newsstand down the street?

'Cause I'm your secretary,
Louis,

not the paper boy,
and that's that.

No, that is not that,
because a day hasn't gone by

that I haven't read
the newspaper since I was nine.

So if it's all the same to you,

I'll go out and
find one myself.

Louis, wait.
They had the paper.

I just didn't want you
to see it.

Why not?

Because there's an
announcement in there, Louis.

That Sazs woman's
getting married

in less than a week.

I know that, Gretchen,

and I appreciate your concern,

but I've accepted
that she is moving on,

and so am I.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna go downstairs

and get the newspaper.

You're still tapping that,
aren't you?

Say what?

Don't lie to me.
You got a big old grin

one second after mentioning
that woman moving on.

- It was not a grin.
- I don't care what it was.

You're dipping your pudding pop

in someone else's candy cane.

That doesn't even
make any sense.

Louis Jr.'s having himself
a slumber party.

Okay, please do not
call him that.

Johnny-ready-to-go's

snazzing round
the neighborhood.

All right, fine!
So what if I am?

So nothing.

So you're not gonna tell me
that this is a huge mistake?

It's a mistake, but since
you're already making it,

we might as well skip the part

where I tell you
that you're crazy

and get to the part
where disaster ensues.

It's not going to ensue,
Gretchen,

because I know what I'm doing

and I can live
with my decision.

You know, I don't even
need the newspaper anymore,

so if you don't mind,

I'm gonna finish up
my prunie

and I'm gonna make plans

for my slumber party
with my pudding pop.

- Hey.

Do you mind if I ask
what you're working on?

Father Walker's office
at 7:00 p.m. tonight,

- You heard me.

My neighborhood watch
won't be on patrol

tomorrow night,

and I'm prime for
another break-in.

- Okay, Louis,

as much as your
lack of security excites me,

I can't tomorrow.

I have to work.

- Well, then watch out
for the janitor,

because he's coming
to clean your office,

and it's very, very dirty.

- Louis, I can't.

I need to review
some application files

since I got to work late

this morning.

Sounds like someone
needs a spanking.

- Louis, this bad boy thing
is really working for you.

You mean Dean Hans
Von Schlongenhammer?

I see you heard of me,

better be in order, Miss Sazs,

or you're going to get a hammer
from the schlongen.

Wait, can we make it 7:30?

Because I have a prostate exam
in the morning.

- What do you think?

- It's a hell of a view.

- Better be.

Remember that building
on the corner of 57th?

It was blocking the park,

so I bought it,
then I tore it down.

- Is that what you
plan on doing

with Teddy Doyle's company?

- It's not Teddy Doyle's
company--it's mine.

Now what can I do
for you gentlemen?

- Actually,
it's more of an issue

of what we can do for you.

- Then get to the point.

- We know that
you're planning on

shipping those
manufacturing jobs overseas.

What if we told you that
instead of doing that,

we'd cut a deal
with Teddy's old suppliers

that would lower your costs
by 30%

in exchange for
a five-year contract?

- I'd say thanks,
but no thanks.

- Did you hear what I said?

That would increase
your cash flow by 80%.

- So what?

- Kurt, I understand you not
giving a shit about people

when it makes you money,

but not doing this
costs you money.

- No, it doesn't,

because I don't just want
more cash flow.

I wanna sell the company,

and China's not gonna buy it

unless those jobs
come along with it.

- Well, if you just
wanna sell,

then why the hell'd
we take this meeting?

- Because I didn't think
the mighty Harvey Specter's

going to come down here,
groveling for a few jobs.

I thought he was going to come
down here to match their price,

because I'll let you in
on a secret.

Paying me what I want

is the only way those jobs
are staying here.

I'm not gonna stop because

some asshole with a view
wants a bidding war.

We'll find another way.

That was the other way.

Harvey, I know that
Teddy's your friend,

but he walked away.

And he wouldn't have
done that

if he'd known those workers

wouldn't be able to
feed their families.

You, of all people,
should relate to that.

And you, of all people,
know that emotion

shouldn't be mixed
with business.

You two want to let me in
on what's going on?

Donna, I don't have time to--

Teddy caught me up on
what's happening, Harvey,

including the fact that
he asked you to do something

you have no standing to do,

so I'm here to find out
what you're getting us into.

There's nothing
to get into, Donna,

because unless Teddy
suddenly finds enough money

to match the Chinese,
it's over.

Unless he doesn't need
more money.

What the hell
are you talking about?

I'm saying we push the price
back down

to what Teddy sold it for

and we get Stu Buzzini
to help us do it.

You're talking about
shorting his stock.

You think Baxter hasn't done

the same thing
a thousand times?

I don't care how many times
he's done it.

Putting downward pressure
on a stock

just to help a takeover attempt
is illegal.

We can't ask Stu to do that.

It's not illegal.
Nobody's going to jail.

It's a civil violation.

All we have to do
is convince Stu of that.

And how exactly
are we gonna do that?

We go to Louis.

Stu trusts him,
and he's an expert

on Securities Law.

Harvey, this isn't
a good idea.

You don't have to get Louis.
I'll do it.

- Donna--
- Harvey, I know Stu.

This isn't about convincing him

with legal arguments.

This is about
appealing to him personally,

and nobody here can do that
better than me.

Donna,

you sure you want to do this?

I'm sure I've seen
that look in Harvey's eye,

which means someone's gonna do
it, whether I like it or not,

and I'm also sure,

if anybody can convince Stu,

it's me.

Okay, what's going on here,
Donna?

What do you know that I don't?

I know that if you short
that stock,

you'll make a fortune,

and a good man
will get his company back.

And driving a stock price
down to help with a takeover

is an SEC violation.

It's a risk to make money.
It's what you do.

Not that kind of risk.
Not my license.

And keeping your license

won't stop you

from being dethroned.

You say my guys
are coming after me?

Look around.

Every single one of these guys

is a young you,
looking to take you down.

Traders are gunslingers, Stu,

and gunslingers
don't follow people

who never sling a gun.

You guarantee I'm gonna make
a ton of money on this

and not get caught?
- I'm not gonna lie to you.

You might lose your license,

you're not in this

is that?

As I see it,
you got two deals.

You could take
the supplier deal

Mike and I made for you

and put a small fortune
in your pocket...

- Or.
- Or you can take

the $200 million

that our client
is prepared to offer

for controlling interest
in his company,

and you can keep the 30%.

You sons of bitches.

That is blackmail,

and I'm not gonna let you
get away with it.

And if you want the SEC

to go through your books
with a fine-toothed comb

to make your case,

you go right ahead,
