You heard her.

She said the fact is, is that
I'm not a goddamn lawyer.

Well, the only way
to change that fact

is for a jury to see me be

Harvey can get you
out of this.

And from what
she told me,

Gibbs can get you
out of this.

She offered you a deal that can
make this whole thing stop.

Now, instead of telling me
not to testify against you,

why don't you think about
testifying against Harvey?

Because unlike you, I would
never do that to a friend!

Yeah, well, unlike you,

Thank you.

There he is.

Harold.

What are you doing here?

I know what's
going on, okay?

I know about the trial
coming up.

Then you know I'm
pretty busy right now.

Right, which is why
I wanted to talk to you.

Listen, you're gonna need
someone to testify

that you went to Harvard.

I want to be that guy.

Harold,
that's an amazing offer, but--

Mike, come on, man.

We both know that you
didn't go to Harvard.

But honestly, if anyone

would have asked me
up until this point,

I would have sworn
that you did.

I would have sworn
that I saw you

at that--that
party with Gilcrest

or those pizza nights
at Pinocchio's

or pretty much any other memory
I have of that time,

which means, if they put me
up there on that stand,

I'd basically be
telling the truth.

I can't tell you how much that
means to me, Harold, but...

Mike, I want to
do this for you, please.

I know you do.

But I got myself
into this mess,

and I got to get
myself out of it.

Okay.

But listen,
if you change your mind,

you know where to find me.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

you're gonna be
hearing a lot of things

over the next
several days,

but the truth is,
this case is about

nothing more
than cold, hard--

Innuendo.

And the fact is, I'm capable
of reciting every element

of jurisprudence
in the state of New York.

And yet despite that,
the prosecution is gonna

try to convince you
that I am a--

Fraud, who not only
didn't pass the bar or go

to law school, he didn't
even graduate college.

There isn't one piece
of hard evidence

proving that I didn't go
to Harvard Law.

There's no record
of tuition being paid.

No record
of a Boston address.

There isn't even a simple
picture in the yearbook.

Let's talk about
the yearbook.

As he told you,
I'm not in the yearbook.

Where is Mike Ross?

Though what he didn't
tell you is that

25 other students
are also not in this yearbook.

Are those other students
being charged with fraud?

Of course not, because
we don't put people on trial

for being sick on picture day,
and no matter--

What he says, the fact is,
Mike Ross is not a lawyer.

He's a fraud.

And we will prove that
beyond a shadow of a doubt.

The defense would like
to call its first witness.

Right there--
he's such a non-lawyer,

he doesn't even know
the prosecution goes first.

And you obviously don't know

Jarvis v. the State of New York,
1937,

when calling
of the first witness

is of such special nature
as to disrupt

the flow of the trial
once it's started.

What the hell special nature
are you talking about?

When the defense
wants to call the prosecutor

as its first witness.

Harvey, unless you have
something to overturn this,

I'm gonna need you
to have a seat.

Mr. Specter, you said
there's no record of me

ever having an apartment
in Boston.

Can you explain to the jury
why there's no record

of you ever having
lived there?

I'm not the one
on trial here.

No, you're not.

You're the one in that chair,

so why don't you answer
the question,

or we can stop this whole thing
right now.

There's no record
of me living there

because I sublet up there
when I had my place down here.

So it is possible

that a person not have
a Boston address

without it meaning that
they didn't attend Harvard.

Great.
Thank you so much.

This witness is excused.

And what, exactly,
is your reason

for not having
an address up there?

Unless you're too afraid
to answer my questions.

No, I'm not afraid
of you at all.

My reason is that I chose
to live with my friend

Trevor during that time.

The only problem
with that is,

your friend Trevor has lived
in Brooklyn his entire life.

Exactly a 3 hour and 20 minute
drive from Harvard.

So you're saying
you made that drive every day?

No,
I only went up for tests

because that's
all I had to do.

I guess you needed
some extra tutoring, huh?

You expect these people
to believe that you graduated

from the most competitive
law school in the world

without ever going to class?

See, that's funny,
because you actually

expect these people
to believe

that I never went
to law school at all

and yet still somehow
managed to convince

the smartest lawyers
in the world

to make me their
youngest partner ever.

Whose story is looking
more far-fetched now?

Oh, no answer?
Great.

No more questions,

Gibbs is gonna prove
you're not married,

and Rachel's gonna
go to jail for perjury.

He's right; you better know
what the hell you're doing.

Who said that I was gonna
use this in the real trial?

I get it.
This is a fake, just like you.

I said keep
your goddamn voice down.

This is as real
as that affidavit was, okay?

Now, you wanted to rattle me;
I've rattled you.

What are you gonna
do about it?

Prosecution calls
Rachel Zane to the stand.

Objection.
We just went over this.

When spousal privilege
is invoked in the moment,

prosecution has
the right to challenge

the validity of the marriage.

- This is ridiculous.
- Objection overruled.

Ms. Zane,
take the stand.

We can skip swearing her in

since she's just gonna
lie about it, anyway.

Objection!

Ms. Zane, if you got married
six weeks after dating

the defendant, why are you
engaged to him right now?

Because we did it on a whim.

And we had planned
to have an annulment,

but once we fell more in love,
we thought that it

might be wonderful
to reveal it to our families

after we were married again.

And how, exactly,
did it go

when you got married
the first time?

We were in Las Vegas--

Yeah, yeah, I don't
give a shit where you were.

What color was your dress?
What color was the cake?

- Objection.
- Who was there?

Were there any witnesses?
Your Honor, he's badgering--

Who were the witnesses?
And what goddamn time was it?

Your Honor,
get him off of her!

- Harvey...
- Tell me right now.

Let the witness answer.

The dress was white.

And the cake was vanilla
with a buttercream frosting.

It was a small ceremony
at around 10:00 p.m.

And I remember
the man who married us

like it was yesterday

because it was the most
special day of my life.

And when you came up
with this story,

did Mr. Ross at least
give you the courtesy of

letting you make up
your own memories

of your supposedly
sacred day?

Objection.

Since, if he represents
himself at trial,

you won't have a real wedding
for at least two to five years.

Harvey.

And I've got
one more question:

did you vow to remain
faithful to Mr. Ross

throughout your marriage?

Yes, I did.

Yeah, then I guess
when you cheated on him

with Logan Sanders,
it means you lied to him

at that non-existent ceremony,

just like you're lying
to all of us right now.

That's enough.

If you want to bring more
outside information

to dispute this marriage,
feel free, but for right now...

this witness is excused.

[gavel thuds]

[dramatic music]

Louis, whatever it is,
it's going to have to wait.

No, it's not gonna wait,
because you said

you'd take care of Gibbs.

I did take care of Gibbs.

Well, then why the hell
did someone from her office

contact Sheila in Argentina?

Louis, they're just
trying to scare you.

And even if she tells them
everything,

you did nothing wrong
with Sheila.

What about what
we did with Mike?

The only proof they'll ever
have that we knew about Mike

is if we tell them.

And when they ask me,
I'm going to take the Fifth,

and you are going to do
the same thing.

That is not good enough.

I don't want
to take the Fifth.

- Excuse me?
- You heard me.

You get called first,
you get up there,

and you look them
straight in the eye,

and you tell them
Mike went to Harvard.

It was your decision
to hire him,

and you stand by it 100%.

What's going on?

What's going on is that
Jessica's happy asking me

to witness tamper,
but when it comes to her

getting on the stand,
she won't--

Witness tamper?
What did you have him do?

She had me move Sheila
out of the country.

Are you crazy?

Look, I did
what I had to do.

Then why won't you do
what you have to do for me?

Because if I did that,
it would open me up to perjury.

If Mike gets convicted,
what does it matter

if you perjure yourself?

Both of you be quiet.

Look who's coming.

Look who it is.
The Three Musketeers.

And we happen to be
in the middle of a meeting.

That's okay; I just
dropped by to let you know

it looks like the trial's
been moved up till tomorrow.

What the hell
did you do?

I went to the judge,
and I said, "Your Honor,

"I'd like to start
this thing before

every single witness
I have disappears."

No way she granted this
without us present.

Oh, you can fight it,
if you want.

We'll wait for Ms. Sazs
to finish her trip.

Oh, Mr. Litt seems
upset about that.

Looks like the wedge
I'm driving between you

is starting to work.

Your wedge hasn't
done shit.

[dramatic music]

And I'm gonna tell you
something else.

You put me on that stand,

and I will look the jury
straight in the eye

and tell them that
Mike Ross is the best

goddamn Harvard-educated
attorney I have ever met.

I hired him.

It was my decision,
and I stand by it 100%.

And everyone that
comes after me

will say the same thing.

did he pay his rent?

He worked as a bike messenger

Oh, wait, I'm confused.

Why would he

Well, when I first met Mike,

Cockiest son of a bitch
I ever saw.

Mike when we were arguing

over an ethics question
in Professor Gerard's class.

Should a lawyer
who's crossed a line

be given a second chance?

I didn't think so,
but Mike did,

and that's when I realized that
Mike Ross has more integrity

and compassion
in his little finger

than any other lawyer
I've ever met.

So Trevor Evans could lie
