All language subtitles for Suits.S09E08.BDRip.x264

My name is Andrew Malik.

While you were kissing
Cameron Dennis' ass,

I was putting
the real criminals away.

You may not have
remembered me then,

but you're sure as hell
gonna remember me now.

I just got a visit
from Sean Cahill.

There's a way
he can get you out.

What's the catch?

He needs you to inform
on your cellmate.

I've been after sutter
for three years now.

This guy's one
slippery son of a bitch.

You pulled every string you
have to make this happen.

You're gonna pull out now?

I am, 'cause I'm not gonna put
myself in position to collude with you.

You filed a countersuit
against my explicit instructions?

I didn't ask you because
you wouldn't have listened.

You set me up.

I'm gonna make sure
the world knows.

You can tell the world
anything you want, William,

but you got no proof.

Either way, I suggest
you sign this deal.

Damn it, you said
you were gonna defend him

to the best of your ability.

And I meant it, but I also
knew, if push came to shove,

I'd do what I had to
to get Mike out.

So let's just admit

that we're in this together
and get this thing done.

You son of a bitch.

You got nothing on me because
there's nothing to have.

The only question is,

which of the many times
that you've crossed the line

am I planning on exposing
to the world?

Harvey: Sean,
what are you doing here?

I thought you said you
never wanted to see me again.

Believe me, Harvey,
I wouldn't be here

if Andrew Malik
hadn'tjust had me arrested.

What?

He's claiming we conspired to
swap Mike Ross for William sutter.

I'm here to get
our stories straight.

You want our stories straight?

I'm representing you
as of right now.

Representing me?
What are you talking about?

You wearing a wire, Sean?

You think I'm here
to entrap you?

Don't act like
that's not possible.

You had me wear a wire
to nail Charles forstman,

and now you're coming to me
out of the blue,

accusing me
of colluding with you.

You know what, Harvey?
You want to pat me down?

Feel free if that's
what you think of me.

What I think, Sean, is you
need to take me up on my offer.

And how is that gonna look?

You repping me when we've
been accused of colluding?

I don't give a shit
what it looks like.

You hire me,
we can talk about anything

and it's not admissible.

All right, Harvey.
You're my lawyer.

Now, let's talk about the story.

Partner's log, stardate 2-0-1-9.

The search
for a baby name continues.

We have arrived at the letter I,

where Sheila has sent me an
email with her top three choices.

Levi litt.

Great idea, Sheila.
Was "jewwy jewstein" taken?

Linus litt, otherwise
known as "Linus vaginus,

"the kid who died a virgin."

Esther. What are you doing here?

I know it's late, Louis, but
I was hoping we could talk.

Of course. Is this about the merger
you wanted me to take a look at?

It is. Oh. Well,
guess what? I did.

And the deal is
as solid as a rock.

So there's no reason for
my board to turn it down?

Shit. No. Not a one.

Esther, what's going on?

Louis, I'm gonna
tell you something.

You have to promise me
you're not gonna tell anyone

and you're not gonna
lose your head over it.

Esther, I don't understand.

Fifteen years ago,
Paul Richmond assaulted me.

What?

But you always said
he was your mentor.

He stopped being my mentor
that night, Louis.

We were at a conference
in Miami.

He asked me to his room.

The next thing I knew,
his hands were all over me.

And when I pushed him away
and told him to stop,

he got angry,
said I'd been leading him on.

He started forcing
himself on me.

Then what happened?

I ran out there
as fast as I could,

went to my room, and threw up.

I can't have him
in my company, Louis.

No, you can't.

Which is why you're going
to go to the board right now

and tell them what
that motherfucker did.

No. I am not doing that.

Why not?

Because it happened
15 years ago.

And in case you haven't noticed,

women who come forward
get put through a meat grinder.

I know that, Esther, but...

Louis, I just told you
what happened

and the first words
out of your mouth were,

"but he was your mentor."

You're my brother,
and you said that.

What do you think
everyone else will say?

Well, I just can't let him
get away with it!

Louis, I know you want
to rip his head off,

but what I need from you
is to make this deal go away.

Before you say anything,
I'm sorry that I took so long.

What happened? Did you
pick the grapes yourself?

The first place didn't
have the bottle I wanted.

Ooh, '85 gotes du rhone.

This is an outstanding
bottle of wine.

There's also no way it's
the reason you took so long.

Donna, what are you getting at?

You care about whiskey, Harvey.

You don't give a shit
about wine,

which means that
something stopped you.

And ifyou're hiding it
from me, it must be serious.

All right.

I went out, and when I got
back, Cahill was waiting.

Malik's coming after him for
conspiring with me two years ago.

Oh, my god. This is about Mike.

It is, but, Donna...
Don't "but Donna" me.

Harvey, Andy Malik doesn't
care about Sean Cahill.

If he's doing this,
he's coming after you.

You think I don't know that?

I know you know it,

but you didn't want to tell me
about it, and I want to know why.

Because I didn't
want you to worry.

You mean,
because you're worried.

If Sean didn't just agree
to let me represent him,

I would be.

But he did. So we're good.

"Good"? You don't even know
what Malik has.

Donna, I know
what we're up against,

but I can't have you
doubting me on this.

I'm not doubting you, Harvey.

It's just this whole thing hinges
on you and Sean sticking together.

Do you really think
we can trust him?

That's what I'm telling you.

We don't have any other choice.

See the money
wanna stay for your meal

get another piece of pie
for your wife

everybody wanna know how it feel

everybody wanna see
what it's like

I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind

me and missy is so early

busy, busy making money

all right!

All step back I'm 'bout to dance

the greenback boogie

your honor, this is outrageous.

Sean Cahill can't be
represented by Harvey specter.

They're using
attorney-client privilege

to get away with the conspiracy
they engaged in in the first place.

Not engaged in,
are accused of engaging in.

And how is it any different
than a joint defense agreement?

I'll tell you
how it's different,

you're setting this thing up
for a mistrial.

Because when I win, that's
exactly what he'll ask for.

Your honor, I will resign

as Mr. Cahill's attorney

right now if he hands this

case over to someone else,

but he won't, because
no one else will touch it.

I'm not walking away

from a case that I've been
building for eight months.

And if you're so sure
we did this,

why aren't you coming after me?

Because I focus
on the bigger fish.

That's a load of crap.

You're not charging me

because you know
it'll look like a vendetta.

All right. That's enough.

Are you willing to waive your
right to a mistrial, Mr. Cahill?

I am.

Well, then I'm afraid he has a right
to his counsel of choice, Mr. Malik.

And I want discovery documents
in his offices in an hour.

Hey, you think he's
gonna get you out of this,

but he doesn't care about you.

He only cares about himself.

Ifwe're supposed to be
sticking together in this,

what the hell are you doing
volunteering to drop me?

Sean, I did it to make a point.

He was never gonna
take me up on it.

And if he did,
I'd be in this alone.

So next time
you feel like freelancing,

why don't you
run it by me first?

Okay. I will.

Now let's get back
to the office,

because if I know Malik,

there's gonna be some kind
of curveball in that discovery.

Whatever it is you're doing,

I got something more important.

Inthatcase, I'm all
yours. What do you need?

A legitimate reason to stop
a merger from happening.

This is Esther's company.

It is, and she used to

work for the man
that runs the other company,

and let's just say
they are like oil and water.

If that's true, why does he
even want to merge with her?

Because my sister's
a brilliant businesswoman,

and the easiest way for a
scumbag like that to make money

is to leech off of her success.

Now, do you want to
help me solve this or not?

Of course I do. Good,

because a lawsuit
will gum up the works,

but I don't see any grounds.

What about other suitors?
Nope. Too late for that.

Her board just got proposed to,

and no one's walking in
with a bigger diamond.

Louis, when it comes to
diamonds, bigger isn't always better.

There is cut, there is color...

And there's clarity,

which means that 30% premium
is compensating for something.

Therefore, if we want
to tank this deal,

we just have to
figure out what it is.

Faye, ifyou're here to thank me for
letting you off the hook with the bar,

I've got my hands full
at the moment.

According to Andrew Malik,
you should have plenty of time.

I don't believe this.
He called you?

Yes, he did.

He wants you off this case,
and I agree with him.

Okay.

I know you're not
a real attorney,

so I'm gonna
spell it out for you.

He's using you because he
knows I'm gonna beat him.

I don't care what he's doing.
I don't want you handling this.

I just went to court
to be able to represent Sean.

I'm not going to
turn around and drop him.

And I'm not saying we should.
I'll represent him.

You?

I could have two hands
tied behind my back

and cinder blocks at my
ankles, and I'd be better than you.

No, you wouldn't, because
you colluded with the man.

Your interests are
at odds with each other.

In other words,
you think I did this.

I don't think you did it.
I read you did it.

What the hell
are you talking about?

Malik has an affidavit
from Kevin Miller

swearing that you conspired
with Sean Cahill

to get him and Mike Ross
out of prison.

You once told me you
got Mr. Miller out of a jam.

Well, now I know
what thatjam was

and what it took
to get him out of it.

Well, you know what? I'm not
the one on trial here. Sean is.

And if you want to file
a motion denying my client

his attorney of choice,
then go right ahead.

But until then,
I've got actual work to do.

Louis! What a pleasure to
finally meet Esther's brother

after all these years.

I understand you have some
questions regarding the merger.

I'm not here
to ask questions, Paul.

I'm here to tell you
this merger is not happening.

Well, that's certainly
news to me.

Justhke it was news to us

that your supplier
is on the brink of bankruptcy.

You're looking for a lifeline,
and that's what this is really about.

What this is about is two
companies that have synergy

utilizing their
respective resources.

Well, you're gonna have to go
after someone else's resources

because as of right now,
ours are off-limits.

And I informed your board
of the supplier situation,

which makes me think you're
not here on behalf of your client.

You're here
on behalf of your sister.

You're damn right I am.

Well, then,
this is inappropriate.

Excuse me? I assured the board

I won't let her go.

Anything beyond that
is between she and them.

Well, according to
company bylaws,

we have one day
to reject this offer,

and I'm triggering that
right now.

You can't do that
without board approval.

Well, then I'll find
some other loophole,

because you're not getting
anywhere near my sister's company.

Well, then as far
as I'm concerned,

it's not your
sister's company anymore.

It's mine.

You piece of shit!
I know what you did.

And if you don't back off,

so help me,
I will come right after you.

I have no idea
what you're referring to.

Fifteen years ago, asshole!

Miami. You attacked her.
You know you did.

That's why you went
to her board and not her.

Because you knew
she would never agree.

And if that were true,

why did she stay with my
company for five more years

and is only now fabricating
this whole thing?

I'll tell you why, because
she's looking to save herjob.

So unless you want
to defend her from slander,

you'll drop this.

Now get out of my office
before I call security.

We've got a problem.
Sean: You're damn right we do.

Was Mike Ross really dumb enough

to straight up tell his
cellmate what we did?

He wasn't dumb, Sean.
We needed Kevin to trust us.

And that's another thing
you should've run by me,

'cause now I have to go tell
that ex-con if he doesn't recant,

I'm gonna slap him with a parole
violation and he's going back to prison.

And you do that, Malik will
get you for witness tampering.

I'm not gonna sit on my
hands and just do nothing.

Harvey: You're right.
You're not.

Malik went over my head.

I think it's time
we went over his.

Why don't you bring some of
that sec pressure to bear on him?

I get it.

This is a vendetta,
and when it goes south,

it's gonna look as bad for
Malik's superiors as it does for him.

In the meantime, I'll keep
wading through this shit,

because something
doesn't smell right.

What do you mean?

I mean, the sutter case
was in the public record,

and so was Mike's release.

So why is Malik
bringing it up years later?

I don't know, but the
person that can shed light

on that very question
is Kevin Miller.

Kevin: Harvey.

I can't say I'm surprised
to see you.

I may not be surprising you,
Kevin,

but you sure as hell
surprised me.

Look, if you wanna call me an
asshole, you might as well get to it.

I'm not here to yell at you.

I'm here to find out
what the hell are you doing

playing ball with Andy Malik?

Harvey, he said
if he convicted Cahill

and we didn't cooperate,
he'd void the deal we made,

Jill would go to prison,
and I'd go with her.

And let me guess,

he gave you immunity
in exchange for talking.

And he made it contingent
on me not warning you about it.

I'm sorry, Harvey, but I
was backed into a corner.

You should have
come to me anyway.

You owed me that much.

I know I owe you.

That's why I didn't
give Malik everything.

He has my affidavit,
but he doesn't have proof.

The recording I made of sutter.

I didn't tell him it exists,
and I'm not going to.

But if you're here to get me
to change my story,

that's as far as
my owing you goes.

Then answer one question.
We did this years ago.

Why didn't sutter
go to Malik until now?

That's the thing.

I don't know who went
to Malik, but it wasn't him.

How can you know that?

Because sutter died
eight months ago.

Here's what I don't get.

Malik couldn't know
any of this without sutter,

which means sutter must have
reached out to him before he died.

But that was
close to a year ago,

and there's no reason Malik
would sit on this for that long.

Then he must have found out
from someone else,

because there's no record
of any conversation

between Malik and sutter ever.

That doesn't mean
it didn't happen.

It means Malik's hiding it.

Harvey, why would he
expose himself like that?

The case could get tossed
on a technicality.

He's played fast
and loose before.

Maybe he's doing it again.

Donna: He might be,
but not about this.

The warrant that Malik used
to go after Kevin Miller

had to show probable cause.

It turns out it was
a deathbed confession

by sutter to an informant
whose name was redacted.

Under what grounds?

To protect him against
retribution in prison,

which is what
I wanted to show you,

because the name of the
prison is gonna ring a bell.

Holy shit.

Pat me on the back later,
Harvey.

It's what needed to be done.

What needs to be done right now

is for me to go
see an old friend.

What the hell did you do?

I came to you to find me a way
out of this, and the next thing I know,

my own board
triggered my buyout clause.

Shit.

You fucking told him,
didn't you?

Esther, you weren't there. I
tried not to say anything, but...

God damn it. I told you I didn't
want anyone to know about this.

Now I'm not only
losing my company,

but you gave the son of
a bitch responsible for it

the satisfaction of knowing
what it's done to me.

Esther, I know I screwed up.

But I was in there and
he had us and he knew it,

andljustsnapped.

Butwe can still get this son of
a bitch if you just come forward.

What did you just say?

I should've insisted this was the
way to handle this in the first place.

You need to let
the world know what he did.

I told you I am not doing that.

God damn it. How could
you give him the satisfaction

of getting away with this?

Because he will get away
with it, and I have children.

And what happens when they
ask why I went to his hotel room?

Why did you go
to his hotel room?

Because I'd known him for years,
and we'd traveled together 50 times,

and I never thought
he could do that.

Well, then say that.

How many times
do I have to tell you?

I don't want them
to twist what I say

and have it go in the journal,

and have to put
my children through that...

Esther, don't... that's enough.

I came to you to protect me,
like I protected you

a thousand times
when we were kids.

And I was dumb enough to think
that, with a baby on the way,

you might finally understand
when something matters to me.

But you don't.

So leave this alone
and leave me alone.

Charles: Harvey specter.

Long time no see.

Sorry it's past
your bedtime, Charles.

Then again, beauty sleep
ain't fixing that.

What the hell
are you doing here?

You know why I'm here.
William sutter.

Never heard of him.
That's funny.

Because he transferred in here
the last six months of his sentence,

and then you became
an informant for Andrew Malik.

Oh, that William sutter.

What about him?

I want you to admit
you set this whole thing up.

All right.

Nobody in prison ever admits
to what they've done,

but sutter did.

Because he knew he was dying.
That's right.

He told me some asshole
sold him out.

And wouldn't you know it?

That asshole
turned out to be you.

Took me awhile to figure out

that you and Cahill were
in on it, but once I did...

I started looking around
for somebody

who hates you as much as I do.

So, yeah, I did this.

What you gonna do about it?

Nota thing.

Because when I win,

whatever deal you cut
with Malik is gone.

Then again, if you said
you made this whole story up,

Cahill mightjust cut
your sentence in half.

So you need to ask yourself
who's coming out on top,

Malik or me?

The side that I am on

is always gonna be
the side that's against you.

Louis.

How much did you hear? Enough.

I wanted to tell you what was
really going on, Katrina. I just couldn't.

I understand, Louis.

But what I think
you may not be understanding

is that right now, Esther
isn't just feeling angry.

She's feeling powerless
and ashamed.

But she has the power.
To do what?

She can't put him in prison.
It was too long ago.

Make him feel like
what he did was wrong?

That's never going to happen.

Louis, what Esther wants
is for us to find a way

to stop this
without telling anyone.

Well, then let's do that.

Faye won't let you take
your sister as a client.

Bullshit.
She's already a client.

No, the company is our client,

and the board wants this merger.

Esther doesn't.

What are you saying?

I'm saying we need help.

Sean, tell me you got Malik's
boss to call off the dogs.

Call off the dogs? I haven't
even gotten to him yet.

What are you waiting for?
An engraved invitation?

I can't just put pressure
on a man I haven't met with

without having someone
soften him up first.

And being under indictment isn't
the best time to be calling in ious.

Screw the timing.

Sean, you need to have
those calls made tonight.

Harvey, what happened
with forstman?

He didn't go for it,
and Kevin won't recant,

which means if you don't
make this thing go away,

we're going to trial staring down
the barrel of a loaded shotgun.

So get it done.

All right, Sean,
what's this about?

Because you're on leave,

and I shouldn't
even let you in here.

I need a favor.

If it has anything to do with
your case, I can't help you.

I need you to go to
Andrew Malik's boss's office

and read him
the riot act anyway.

About what?
Tell him it's nothing more

than a personal attack
against Harvey specter.

And when he tells me I'm full of
shit and I've got no proof, then what?

Tell him to check the record.

Malik hated Harvey. He
went after him three times.

And if that's not enough, if
Malik's not hiding a grudge,

why the hell
didn't he go after Harvey?

Okay, I'll do it.

But, Sean, did it ever
occur to you that the person

who put you in this position
isn't Andrew Malik?

It's Harvey specter.

Donna paulsen.

I should have guessed Harvey
would send you here.

He didn't send me anywhere.

In fact, I'm putting my feelings
about you aside to try to end this thing.

Oh, this ought to be good.

Go ahead. Give me
your song and dance.

It's not a song and dance.

This thing that you have with
Harvey, it's consuming you.

And if you don't figure out a way
to let it go, it is not gonna end well.

First a threat.

How about you
move on to begging?

I'm not threatening you, Andy.
I'm warning you.

You've come after Harvey
twice before.

You lost and he let it go.

Well, he's not gonna
let it go this time.

I'm not gonna lose.
Yes, you are,

because you're not just fighting
Harvey. You're fighting all of us.

I appreciate the warning.

But you go home and you tell Harvey
that he better sleep well while he can.

You're gonna have
to tell him that yourself.

I'm not gonna
see Harvey tonight.

He's too busy kicking your ass.

Samantha.
Glad you could make it.

How you doing?

I'm okay, Louis.

But you sounded upset
on the phone,

and I'm sure you didn't bring
me here to talk about me.

So, what's going on?

It's my sister.

She's being forced out of her own
company by the man who assaulted her.

And she begged me not
to confront him with it,

but, of course, I did.

Let me guess, he's denying it.

He is.

And sure as we're sitting
here, if you go after him,

he'll admit it happened,
but say it was her.

How do you know that?

Because I've seen
this movie before,

which is why I know
he's made this movie before.

Well, let me tell you
the movie I've seen.

What you and I did to my mugger.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that I don't care

if this guy has a family
or not, Samantha.

You do whatever it takes to
take this piece of shit down.

Can I come in?

I always forget what
beautiful taste you have.

Can I get you...
I'm sorry, Esther.

You trusted me,
I didn't contain myself,

and I am sorry.

Thank you, Louis.

Thing is,

you hear about
this kind of thing happening,

you know it does,

but you always think
it happens to other people,

not the people thatyoulove.

And I do love you, Esther.

I know that, Louis.

I love you, too.

It's funny, it seems like you
hear about this kind of thing now,

but back then, you didn't.

And you wondered,
was it your fault?

Was it something
you did or said?

It wasn't.

I just wish you had
told me at the time.

Maybe I should have.

The truth was...
You were feeling ashamed.

Listen, I didn't just
come here to apologize.

I know you said
to leave this alone,

and I'll call it off
if you want me to,

but I went to get us some help.

Thank you, Louis.

You think you can go over my head
and there won't be any consequences?

I think you wouldn't be here ifyour
boss hadn't put the screws to you

for coming after me.
You're right.

He called me at midnight
in my home

and said that if I had nothing to hide,
why the hell didn't I come after you?

Well, you wanted it? You got it.

You are under arrest for
conspiring with a federal prosecutor.

You're making a mistake, Malik.

What do you think the judge
is gonna say when he finds out

you arrested
your opposing counsel?

He's gonna say,
"guilty as charged,"

because I'm not just gonna
disbar you. I'm putting you away.

I wanna call my lawyer.

Officer haskins
has butter fingers.

I'll see you down there.

We'll try to reach out
to your lawyer on the way.

Andrew: You hungry, Harvey?

After I picked you up,

I realized that you may
not have had breakfast yet.

Well, since you're asking,
I'll have two eggs, a coffee,

and a side of kiss my ass.

Swagger, huh?

But you're not fooling anyone

because I know exactly
how screwed you are.

What I know is,
I asked for my attorney,

you smashed my phone,

which means I could tell you
I killed Kennedy,

and it wouldn't be admissible.

Well, if you won't talk
to me, maybe Sean will.

You know, we picked him up
right after you.

You can't do that.
He's already been arrested.

Not for obstruction, he hasn't,

which is exactly what happened
when his boss went to my boss.

Oh, I get it.

You concocted this little
prisoner's dilemma to get us to cave.

Well, if you think
that's going to break us,

you're wasting your time.

I think Sean Cahill has one
chance to save his career,

and all he has to do
is turn on you.

Or you could turn first.

Be my guest.

In the meantime,

I'm gonna go and see
if Sean feels any different.

Alex, I need to talk to you.

Harvey and Sean were supposed
to talk strategy this morning,

but they're not in his office.

You checked the conference room?

I did, and after that,
reception,

and it turns out neither
of them showed up.

And when I call Harvey, it
goes straight to voice mail.

Donna, they probably
had the meeting over coffee

and didn't wanna be disturbed.

Alex, I don't get
this feeling very often,

and you don't know Andy Malik
like I do.

I'm telling you
something's wrong.

All right,
let's get to it, Sean.

I know you did this. I know why.

You owed Harvey specter
your career.

The hell I do.

You're gonna tell me that he
didn't take down Eric woodall,

which put you in your job,

and that's why he got
his buddy out of prison?

Those things are unrelated. Wow.

That'd be the first time in
history that both hands are clean

and one didn't wash the other.

You need to
get your facts straight,

because the deal that I made
to take down William sutter...

Was with Mike Ross, not me.

Then why did you pursue
sutter as a client?

His son-in-law, Kevin Miller,
got Mike Ross out of a jam.

I owed him one.

And Kevin Miller
says that's a lie.

And that's the coerced
testimony of a convicted felon.

You think that's all I got?

Phone records.

Two dozen conversations between
you and Sean during that time.

How do you explain that?

Frank gallo was in there.

He was a danger to Mike
Ross, so I called Sean.

Bullshit. You want to
get an inmate moved,

you talk to the warden,
not an sec prosecutor.

Mike's life was threatened.

I was talking to anyone
who'd listen.

Bullshit again.
Mike Ross was in danger,

you couldn't get gallo moved, so
you had to get Mike out of there.

And that's when you went to
your buddy Sean and made a deal,

which he took
because he owed you.

I didn't fucking deal.
Yes, you did.

I know the whole story.

I can tell it, I can prove it,
and a jury's gonna believe it.

The real question is,

which one of you two is
gonna figure that out first?

Not me.

Look at his track record.

Mike Ross went to prison
for him.

Jessica Pearson
lost her license for him.

He manipulates people.

I didn't manipulate anyone.

You manipulated the law.

You crossed the line
at every turn.

You think the rules
don't apply to you.

I'm good with who I am.

That's the fucking problem.

You pursued a client
with the sole purpose

of putting him away.

You did it, you know it,
and you don't even care.

Sean,

do you know what happens to
prosecutors who go to prison?

This is your last chance.

Now you won't go to trial.
You won't lose your job.

All you have to do
is admit the truth

and this will all be over.

It is over, Malik.

My clients are done
answering questions.

Yeah, well, I'm done asking.

Oh, and you don't have clients,
Mr. Williams. You just have him.

What the hell does that mean?

It means Sean Cahill asked
for new representation.

Faye Richardson. Who?

She advised her client
to take my deal,

and he agreed.

First Harvey, then Louis.

I'm seeing you people more
than I did when I was at the firm.

Speaking of the firm,

I know Louis came to you
for help with Esther.

Whatever you're doing,
I want in.

Katrina, don't take this
the wrong way,

but go back to work.

I'm not going anywhere.

Then don't, but the reason
he came to me

is because I am doing things
you can't.

Samantha, I was a prosecutor
for six years before I got to the firm.

One day, a woman came in,

said she'd been assaulted
by her boss.

Let me guess,
nobody believed her.

No. Everyone believed her.

I threw everything I had
at this guy.

I put her on the stand,
she told her story,

and then I had to watch as 12
jurors exonerated that bastard.

So ifyou're going
after this guy,

you're not doing it without me.

Harvey, before
you say anything...

Fuck you and the horse
you rode in on.

You son of a bitch.

He had us. We were gonna lose.

We were both gonna go
to prison, and I cut us a deal

so neither of us would have to.

What do you want, Sean?

Do you want me to throw
you a ticker-tape parade?

I don't give a shit what you
throw me. You did what he said.

You went after a guy,
made him trust you,

and you threw him in prison
for the rest of his life,

and you didn't lose
a minute's sleep over it.

Yeah, he threw that at me, too.

I'm just a piece of shit
who only cares about himself.

And, yeah, I colluded.

But I did it to get a man
who never hurt a soul

away from a convicted murderer
who was gonna kill him.

That doesn't change the... no,
let me tell you something else.

My whole life, I have done
what I think is right,

but there's always someone
somewhere who hates me for it

because they think
I'm breaking the rules.

Well, rules aren't
right or wrong.

Every line I've ever crossed,
I'd do it again

because I am fine
with what's in my soul.

Look, Harvey, I didn't say
you were the bad guy.

I just said he had us.

Well, you know what, Sean?
Now he only has me.

How could you do it?

How could you
betray Harvey like that?

I didn't betray anyone.
Bullshit!

You went to Sean

and you helped him out a deal
to get Harvey disbarred.

He decided
to take a deal, Donna,

and when he did,
Andrew Malik recommended me

because Sean had a right
to an attorney

who was looking out
for his best interests.

That, right there.
That's what you do.

You hide behind morality

when the truth is,
you just can't stand Harvey.

I don't hate Harvey.

In fact, I believe, in his heart,
he thinks he's a good man.

That's why he won't change,

and why he's a cancer
to this firm.

You call him a cancer?

Well, unlike you, Faye,
people love him.

Which makes the problem worse

because you all
follow him anywhere.

And if you think

you'll always be able
to make him do what's right,

you're kidding yourself.

Well, you know what, Faye?
It was his moral code

that kept him from
turning you over to the bar

when he had the chance.

So next time you wanna
talk shit about who he is,

you think about that.

Six women over 10 years.

The problem is none of
them are willing to talk.

I can see why.

Violating those ndas is a
one-way ticket to bankruptcy.

Only in civil court. The ndas
don't apply if it's criminal.

Then they'd have
to take the stand,

and if Esther won't do it,
why would they?

They won't. Damn it.

All we need is one.

Wait a second.

What ifwe're looking at this
the wrong way?

What do you mean?

We can't ask any of these women

to risk their life savings
to come forward,

but the people who arranged
those ndas are a different story.

They already risked
their life savings

because they took part
in a cover-up.

Katrina, they're Paul's lawyers.
They have attorney-client privilege.

That's the thing, Samantha.

Their client
isn't Paul Richmond.

It's the company.

And if they took action which
gives their company exposure...

They have liability, too.

It's a stretch.

Whoever it is won't just cave.

Unless there's more than one,
in which case...

We pit one against the other.

Ms. Bennett, you said
you wanted to talk about

a business opportunity?
That's right.

I'm offering you a chance to
cut ties with Paul Richmond

before it's too late.

Why would I cut ties
with Paul? You know why.

Because you were party
to buying the silence

of the women he assaulted.

If Paul Richmond assaulted
anyone, I never heard about it.

You never heard of Maya Perez
or Janet tundermann

or any of these other women?

I deal with hundreds of
employees, Ms. Wheeler.

I don't remember every one.

Then let me jog your memory.

You cut them bonus checks worth
10 times what they were earning.

Not only that, every single
one of those deals

came with strings attached,
and we know what they are.

Ndas.

Because those payouts weren't
released until the truth was buried,

and you're one of the people
holding the shovel.

This conversation is over.
Samantha: Maybe it is.

But you mightwant to
check your contract.

It says you work for
the company, not Paul.

Which means any arrangements
you made against Mayfield's interests

are not protected...

Katrina:
By attorney-client privilege.

So the question is,
who's going to talk first?

Were you gonna
tell me about Cahill?

Or was I supposed to read
about it in the journal?

I'm sorry, Donna, I didn't
have it in me to tell you.

I get it.

You were loyal to Sean,

and it was a gut punch.

Now Malik's finally
gonna get what he wants.

Cahill and Faye
are taking that plea deal,

and I'm gonna lose my license.

And the Harvey I know wouldn't give
up until they yanked him out of here.

And that's gonna happen tomorrow

because as soon as
Cahill signs that thing,

Malik's got me.

Alex: No, he doesn't.

And if I'm right,
he's not going to.

What are you saying?

After I bailed Harvey out,
I pulled the arrest warrant.

Turns out, the time on it
was 9:00 pm,

two hours before
Cahill's boss went to Malik's.

And exactly one hour
after I saw forstman.

Shit, he didn't arrest me
because Cahill went over his head.

He did it because he knew I
was getting close to something.

Which leads me to this.
Sutter's autopsy.

He didn't know he was dying.

He died of a heart attack
on the spot.

Which means forstman
wasn't telling the truth.

But he was telling the truth.

He had to have gotten
the story from sutter.

Otherwise, how did he know?

See, that's the thing.

He wasn't lying about
what sutter told him.

He was lying about when.

Malik's whole case hinges
on forstman's testimony.

And in order for it
to be admissible,

it had to be
a deathbed confession.

And you can't give a deathbed
confession without a deathbed.

Which means sutter
must've told forstman,

but forstman didn't put it
together about Cahill

until it was too late.

So this means
you're off the hook.

We've got proof.

Maybe, but I don't just want
proof that forstman was lying.

I want proof that Malik knew.

How are we gonna get that?

By giving Sean Cahill
a chance to make things right.

Samantha.

I hope you don't mind.
Sheila let me in.

No, of course not.
What do you got?

Good news and bad news, Louis.

We have a road map to every
time Paul has done this before

and the settlements he's paid.

The thing is, we still
don't have a plaintiff.

And without a plaintiff,
the best I can do is bluff.

That's what I'm here to say.

You'll have to convince
your sister to come forward.

No, Samantha, I can't.

She doesn't want to do it,
and I can't ask her again.

Then I think I know who can.

Esther: Katrina?

I got your message.
I came as soon as I could.

Esther, please sit.

I know we've only met
once or twice,

but I'm going to have to be direct
because we don't have much time.

We were able to find
a substantial amount

of evidence against Paul
throughout his career.

But without someone
willing to come forward,

you're going to
lose your company

and he's going to
keep doing this.

I see.

Before you say anything,
I want you to know two things.

I once took up this fight for
someone in your situation.

And we lost.

I called her today, asked if
she regretted coming forward,

and she said that,

while living with
that verdict was hard,

not having said anything
would have been harder.

And the other thing?

That case was nine years ago,

and, Esther, times have changed.

I'm not so sure they have.

Obviously, this is
your decision.

But, as I said,

we don't have much time.

Andrew: What the hell is this?

Where's Faye? Faye's not coming

'cause Sean's
not signing your deal.

Well, then, I guess
we're going to court.

No, Malik, you're going to court

because we didn't conspire
with a convicted felon,

you did.

The hell are you talking about?

He's talking about the fact
that Charles forstman

lied about the timing
of sutter's confession.

And you're the one
who told him to do it.

I can't believe this.

You can't see
what's happening here?

He's spinning you.
That's what he does.

You call this spin, Andy?

I call it evidence.

You pulled my records,
I pulled yours.

All your contacts
with Charles forstman.

Every single one.

Including the phone call
he made to you

five minutes after I left him,

warning you
we were getting close.

Not to mention the deal
that you cut with him

three months after sutter died.

Harvey: And there is no record
of any contact

between you and Charles
forstman before that.

You think you can intimidate
me into dropping this?

No, Andy, I don't.

And we're not intimidating.

Sean: We're arresting.

You're hereby charged
with fabricating evidence

in a criminal case.

The hell I am. I'm the
goddamn state's attorney.

No, you're not.

See, Donna told you this
would happen, and now it is.

Remember what you said about
prosecutors who go to prison, Andy?

Well, you're about to find out.

You're not going to
get away with this.

Wejustdid.

That was close.

I guess it's a good thing
we stuck together till the end.

Sean, I understand
why you did what you did.

You do?

I'm always saying
loyalty is a two-way street.

If I can't see that you
were trying to do the best

for both of us,
then I'm an asshole.

You said it, not me.

Bet you know what
I'm gonna say now, huh?

Something about you never
wanting to see my face again?

Something like that.

Wanna grab a beer?

Let me take a rain check.

I've got a little errand to run.

Go get him, Harvey.

I assume you're here to sign
the deal on behalf of your client?

I'm here to end this thing.

And what are you going to
accuse me of this time, hmm?

Robbing fort Knox?

Here's the thing, Paul.

We went to two of your people,

gave them the choice
between saving your ass

or saving themselves.

Take a guess
whose ass they didn't save.

Every nda, every dirty
deal, every single cover-up.

This is nothing but proof that these
women signed confidentiality agreements.

Doesn't mean
what they're saying is true.

We'll see what your board
has to say about that.

I don't think the board's
gonna say anything.

You know why they won't?

'Cause Esther
won't come forward.

No one comes forward,
you got nothing.

Esther: No, Paul.

He has everything.

You know why I wasn't
gonna come forward?

Because I didn't think
people would believe me.

Butwhen I tell my story,

you can bet your ass

I am gonna make them believe me.

Even if they do, it's long
past the statute of limitations.

Not to sue your ass, it isn't.

Which is why
you're gonna resign.

And if you don't,
I am gonna tell the world

how, when I was 28 years old,

you lured me to your room,
put your hands all over me,

and when I resisted,
you overpowered me.

And when I finally got away,

you told me
if I ever said a word,

that I would never work again.

And when she's done, they're
not gonna throw you in prison,

but they're gonna take away
every penny you have.

Sign.

Now get the fuck out of here
before we change our minds.

You okay?

I am.

I didn't know
you were gonna show up.

Neither did I.

I couldn't have done that
without you.

If you're here to up your offer,

save yourself the trouble.

I'm not cutting a deal
with Sean Cahill.

I'm not here for that, Charles.

I'm here to tell you
that we know you lied,

and we know Malik was in on it.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Then ask him,
because my guess is

he'll bejoining you here
in six months.

I'll be out in two years.

We'll see what happens then.

There isn't going to be athen.

You perjured yourself,

which means your time here
isn't going down, it's going up.

Don't worry. The guy
who decides how much

is Sean Cahill.

I'm sure he'll take it
real easy on you.

Hey, how did it go?

Well, we didn't convict him,

but short of that,
it went as well as possible.

That's great, Louis.

It feels weird to say that I'm
happy in a situation like this.

But I am.

I'll call Esther tomorrow.

That would be nice.

Hey, you okay? I am.

It's just...

Sheila, I've been thinking.

About family.

How important it is to me.
How important it is to you.

What's going on, Louis?

Well, I know you're far along,

and I know it may not be how
we would have planned it, but...

I want to get married
before we have the baby.

Are you serious?
Louis, I look like a house.

I do not care
what you look like.

I want us to be a family.

And I never gave you a ring.

And I know
we're already engaged.

Sheila...

Will you marry me before
you give birth to our child?

Yes, iwill.

It's done.

You should have seen
the look on forstman's face.

In fact, I don't know which
was better, his or Malik's.

Harvey, I need to
tell you something.

What is it, Donna? What's wrong?

Your mother had a heart attack.

She's gone.
