[NARRATOR READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]

Get on the ground. Wallet and phone!

[GRUNTING]

You weren't there!

You don't know the shit I went through.

The same thing that happened to you

happened to me.

Are you sure the two of us working

so closely together is a good idea?

It might get complicated.

It's not fair that my reputation

in this firm takes a hit when you were the one--

I was the one that what?

Where have you been? I've been looking for you.

If you must know, I overslept.

I'd love to go out again. Is tonight too soon?

Let me check my calendar-- Yep, I'm free.

I have an idea. If we work together for a year,

and it's successful, you'll be on the junior partner track.

That sounds like a plan.

Harvey, this is Thomas-- Kessler, we've met.

[♪♪♪]

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

There's another one. Oh.

Your grandmother did not wanna go to the beach in Nice,

but I insisted.

Oh, my God. Mom, you were hot.

Donna, please. I was smoking hot.

[LAUGHS]

Well, if you got it, admit it.

Sweetie, I really appreciate you indulging me.

It's always nice to look back at this trip,

but it's just so much more fun with you.

I'm not indulging you, Mom. I love it too.

Then what do you say we make an album of our own?

What do you mean? The last few years

have been tight, but I've been saving up.

And you and I are going to Paris for two weeks

right after you graduate.

You're kidding. I am 100 percent not kidding.

Mom, this is amazing. [CHUCKLING]

I wanna see it all.

Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the cafés.

Do you really think we can do all that?

We can do anything you want.

Because I finally understand

why that trip was so special for my mom.

And now I get to have all that with you.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, just the way you like it.

Vanilla with two splashes of "Why would anyone

want their coffee this sweet?"

You seem particularly happy this morning.

I am. Any reason?

Other than the fact you woke up

next to this 5-foot-9 stack of fantastic?

[CHUCKLES]

As a matter of fact, there is.

Um, do you remember that meeting

I had to leave early for the other day?

You mean after our first time,

when you snuck out like you robbed a bank?

You know, funny you should say that,

because I feel like I robbed a bank this morning.

What do you mean?

Well, we've been negotiating

to expand our retail presence.

We were at an impasse, and now...

we're full steam ahead.

Thomas, that's fantastic. It is.

It's gonna take us to a whole other level.

But the real reason I'm so happy

is that there isn't anyone

I'd rather share this with than you.

There he is. The man himself.

The Babe Ruth of the legal profession.

Flatter me all you want, Simon.

You got me over here at 8, and I don't like to be up at 8.

So, what do you got?

The answer to our tenant problems.

I assume you mean Restoration pulling out of the deal.

I do. I've invited someone else to take their seat.

Who's that? Thomas Kessler Furniture.

They're up-and-coming. They're about to sign a huge deal

with my major competitor, and I want them.

You gotta be kidding me. There a problem?

Simon, aside from the fact that we represent Kessler,

which is a conflict,

I can get Restoration back to the table.

I don't want them back at the table.

But I thought we-- Harvey, think about it.

They're a national chain, and they're flush with cash.

And we can only build so many malls.

If we're gonna increase our revenue going forward--

You need up-and-coming tenants

who will trade a piece of the upside

for a break on rent.

Welcome to the conversation.

Okay, Simon.

Yet I still feel you're checking your swing.

So, what's your concern?

No concern.

You want Kessler, you got him.

Louis, this is so much fun.

[IN SQUEAKY VOICE] I'm so glad we're finally doing this.

Of course. When I told you that

our baby comes first, I meant it.

And speaking of coming first...

Imagine our little love bug rolling

to the playground in this bad boy.

[NORMALLY] Wait. Is this--?

Yep. Paternity Magazine's top pick.

It is also $2,000.

Can we really ask people to buy this for us?

Let me explain something to you. All of our friends are rich.

As any rich person will tell you,

gifts are the truest form of love.

So, in other words, scan that mofo.

Scan the shit out of that bad boy.

[CELL PHONE BUZZES]

Hello? BUKOWSKI: Louis Litt?

Yeah, this is.

This is Detective Bukowski.

Was your wallet stolen recently?

Yeah. It was. How could you possibly know--?

We believe we just arrested the man who stole it.

[♪♪♪]

Oh, my God.

Would you be willing to come here

and identify him in a lineup?

Sir, I can assure you, he won't see you.

He won't even know who you are.

Yeah, I'll come right down.

Just let me know where you're at.

Thanks.

BUKOWSKI: All right, bring them in.

As I said, they won't be able to see us.

If you see the man who mugged you, just let me know.

[♪♪♪]

Get on the ground and don't you fucking look at me.

Mr. Litt, do you recognize anyone?

Number six.

Number six, step forward.

Are you sure? We need you to be sure.

Wallet and phone.

It's him. I'm sure.

Good. We appreciate the cooperation.

The DA's office will be in touch about testifying.

Testify? I thought I just had to identify him.

You also said you were assaulted.

Unless you wanna let him plead to a misdemeanor,

you need to appear in court.

Yeah, of course.

Take the rest of them out.

[♪♪♪]

Alex, you got a second?

I'm running a two-minute drill right now, so, no.

Well, I need you to take a look at this anyway.

What is it?

Simon Lowe wants Thomas Kessler

to be their anchor in 20 new malls.

Well, I'm sorry to say that's my two-minute drill.

I'm at the one-yard line

with another mall owner. So?

He doesn't like to deal in bad faith.

This isn't bad faith, Alex.

He didn't even know this deal was coming.

He sure as hell didn't know how good it would be.

Good or not, it's a conflict.

Look at the offer, then tell me he won't waive conflict.

Damn. A 50 percent haircut on a rent

for 10 percent of our gross?

These guys are serious. Beats whatever you got cooking.

How'd you come up with this? I didn't. My client did.

I been busting my ass for months on this,

and your client comes to you with this.

Shit falls out of the sky for you.

You don't wanna know how high school was.

No, sir, I do not.

All right, I'll take it to him.

But we better get them in a room fast.

Thomas won't pull out of his deal

without looking Simon in the eye and seeing he's for real.

You wanted to see me?

Yes.

In fact, I have a present for you.

Your first client. I don't understand.

If we're going to follow through on you being promoted

and working on your own, we need to do this. Right?

You're right. Who's the client?

Bespoke Handbags.

Landlord found out they use ammonia.

They never disclosed it. They're being

kicked out of the building. Bullshit.

This is just a ploy because they found a new tenant.

What are you gonna do? Because they have us

on a technicality, and they know it.

I'm gonna figure out who the new tenant is and try to stop it.

Proving yourself worthy of this client.

There are thousands of potential tenants.

How am I gonna figure out who it is?

That, good sir, is your problem.

No, it isn't. It's ours.

Brian, the whole point of this was--

Hear me out.

Remember that algorithm you used

to determine who should stay and who should be fired?

Of course. PATTIE.

Well, if you could use it for that...

I can alter it for this.

Okay. Though you realize this means we're working together.

With one key difference. You're working for me.

And I don't tolerate slackers.

So have that shit ready by 10 tomorrow.

I got a case to win.

[♪♪♪]

Donna.

Harvey. I wanna talk about last night.

You mean LeBron's game winner against the Knicks?

You know what I mean.

I wanna talk to you about me seeing Thomas.

And the truth is, I told Louis, and I meant to tell you--

You don't have to tell me every time you start seeing a client.

That's the thing. I don't just wanna tell you

because he's a client. I wanted to tell you

because even though it's really early on, I...

I really like him.

Donna, if you really like him, I am happy for you.

You're never gonna believe this, but...

[CHUCKLES]

I got a proposal for him from Simon Lowe.

They want him to be their home goods anchor.

Well, that's incredible, but-- The other deal, I know.

I spoke to Alex about it, and he agreed this one's better,

and we set up a meeting for them tonight.

Thank you, Harvey.

I wish I could take credit for it, but it wasn't my idea.

No. I mean, thank you for understanding.

And as far as the deal goes, credit or not,

Thomas' business means everything to him.

So I really appreciate it.

[♪♪♪]

All right, I got a situation.

I need to talk to you about it. What kind of situation?

That scumbag who mugged me? They just arrested him,

called me down to ID him, but that wasn't enough.

They want me to get on the stand

and point the finger at him.

You want me to go with you? I want you to tell me

that it's okay not to go.

I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

Why the hell not? Because.

I get that you're scared, but if you don't take the stand,

no amount of self-defense is gonna take that fear away.

The only thing that can is confronting him.

You don't understand. When I saw him,

I was right back in that alley.

Trust me, no one gets that more than me.

But I promise, if you do this,

I will be with you every step of the way.

[♪♪♪]

HARVEY: Alex, this is Simon Lowe.

And, of course, Simon... Thomas Kessler.

I've been a fan of yours for a long time.

I recognize that table.

And I hope to have more just like that

anchoring my malls. Shall we?

Look, I won't lie, I'm intrigued by your offer,

but you're asking me to back out of a deal at the eleventh hour.

I need to know I'm not just a backup plan.

SIMON: Well, then I won't lie either.

If another deal hadn't run into trouble, you wouldn't be here.

There were 15 companies I could've gone to

that weren't about to close a deal with someone else,

but I chose you, 'cause I believe in you.

I don't take your relationship with our firm lightly.

Believe me when I tell you this is a good offer,

and I stand behind it.

Then I'd say we have ourselves a deal.

With one stipulation. When my client commits, he commits.

We need to know you're gonna follow through.

We had a feeling you'd say something like that,

which is why we're prepared to issue a press release

tomorrow morning announcing the whole thing.

You would do that? Before we ironed out the fine print?

Well, that stuff's for the lawyers, huh?

We're businessmen.

And if you're who I think you are,

a handshake is enough for me.

[♪♪♪]

Let's try this again.

What happened that night?

He pulled a gun on me, forced me into the alley,

then stole my wallet and my phone.

Did he hurt you?

Yes. The assailant hurt me.

Louis, we have been over this.

Facts don't affect juries the way feelings do.

You have to share your pain with them.

I can't. I know you think that--

You don't know. You've never had to let someone see

what he did to you. How he made you helpless

and scared like a child.

Have you ever asked one of your clients to hide their pain?

Of course not, this is different.

Only difference is you're the client.

Goddamn it, don't you think I know that?

All right, that's enough.

Look at me. If you don't put him away,

he will haunt you for the rest of your life.

You are doing this

so you won't ever have to be afraid again.

So do not be afraid of your emotions now.

When he pointed the gun at me...

[♪♪♪]

it was...

I'd never been more afraid in my life.

And then he forced me into the alley.

And then he made me get on the ground.

Then he pressed the gun in the back of my head.

He demanded my wallet and my phone.

But I only gave him my wallet, because my phone had--

[INHALES DEEPLY] --pictures of my fiancée on it.

So, I--

I begged him to let me keep it.

I mean, there was $1,000 in the wallet.

Wasn't that enough?

But he said that he would say when it was enough.

Then he kicked me. And all I could think about

was the woman I love and the baby we'd never have

because I was gonna die in that alley.

Mr. Litt, is the man who did that to you

in this room right now?

Yeah, he's sitting right there.

Thank you, Mr. Litt.

Your cross.

We have no need to cross,

because everything Mr. Litt just said is irrelevant.

What?

DEFENDER: The date on the warrant

doesn't match the date of the search,

therefore, all evidence against my client

is inadmissible.

I move for charges to be dismissed.

What? You can't do that. He's guilty.

JUDGE: Mr. Litt, I'm sorry.

The search was illegal.

By order of the court, the defendant is free to go.

[GAVEL BANGS]

[♪♪♪]

Harvey, I gotta say,

that was an impressive display last night.

HARVEY: Damn straight it was.

Listen, you get the paperwork I sent over this morning?

SIMON: Yeah, I did. I hate to waste everyone's time,

but I won't be signing it. Why the hell not?

Well, it turns out Restoration came back to the table.

When exactly did that happen?

SIMON: About an hour ago.

Simon, I'm only gonna ask you this once.

Was this whole thing designed

to get Restoration back to the table?

It was designed to either get them back

or to take a chance on an up-and-comer.

Either way, my malls don't sit empty.

Simon, you said you were doing this deal.

You used me to help sell him on it.

Then you shook his hand and lied to his face.

I said what I needed to to make a deal happen.

I don't need to justify myself to my own goddamn lawyer.

Now, this is happening.

And I need Restoration to think

that the Thomas deal is still on.

I know how negotiations work, Simon.

And I know how privilege works,

so if you tell anyone about this,

be it Thomas or Alex or the queen of England,

we'll be done.

[♪♪♪]

All right, that should be the last variable.

What's it say? Hold on, it's calculating.

Goddamn it. It only narrowed the list down to 800.

Well, that's a lot lower than what we started with.

So, maybe we can--

What, get it down to 300?

What difference will it make? We have less than a day.

What do you want me to say? It was an idea.

I didn't know the program wouldn't work.

I know, Brian. I'm sorry. I'm just...

Wait a second.

The program didn't work this time,

but the program didn't work last time either.

It said other people were more valuable than you.

While I love being reminded of that,

I don't see how-- Think about it. PATTIE was wrong

because she didn't take into account your intangibles.

I had to be convinced to keep you.

We need to convince that property owner

that our client is more valuable

than whoever they wanna replace us with.

Exactly.

Samantha, whatever it is--

I wanna talk about what happened today.

Doesn't matter what happened because it's over.

I'm here because it doesn't have to be.

You-- Are you--? No. I'm not breaking the law.

Louis, he assaulted you.

You cannot let him get away with it.

He did get away with it, Samantha.

He walked away.

And now I'm gonna do the same thing.

Don't you get it? You can't do that. Not with him out there.

Damn it, you don't think I know how dangerous he is?

He fucking knows where I live. I'm not gonna risk it.

Louis, he's a bully.

Bullies only have power if you let them.

No. Bullies only have power

because they have guns and knives

and nothing to lose, but I do.

The only reason that criminal knows I have a family

because I let you convince me to do this.

I'm not making that mistake again.

What I'm gonna do is let it go,

and I don't wanna hear another word about it.

[♪♪♪]

Harvey, what's the story? You guys sign that deal yet?

We can talk about the deal in a minute.

I need to ask you something.

It's hypothetical, but-- What's going on?

You got two clients, both in a deal together.

One bills seven figures, the other five.

They both waive conflict, then you find out

the big one is planning to screw over the little one.

Son of a bitch. This isn't hypothetical.

This is Simon Lowe and Thomas Kessler.

Answer the question. You stick with the bigger fish.

Doesn't matter who's bigger. You can't break privilege.

I know. Why are you telling me?

Because I don't like it. We may not have to tell Thomas,

but that doesn't mean we can't do something about it.

Since I'm not supposed to know,

you're not supposed to undercut your client,

what are we supposed to do?

Simon will stick with Thomas

if Restoration falls out again.

So we're gonna make that happen. Are you crazy?

In what world does that not get back to Simon?

One where I can get someone to do it for us.

Then what do you need me for? The backup plan.

Which is to get Thomas' original landlord

to beat Simon's deal.

They won't even take my call.

One of us is gonna get this thing done.

But we don't have much time. So are you in or out?

[♪♪♪]

[FLOORBOARD CREAKING]

[♪♪♪]

I can get to you anytime.

No. No.

[♪♪♪]

I'm in.

Are you sure? I'm sure.

Just tell me what I have to do. Nothing.

Consider the matter handled.

What--? How are you gonna--?

Louis, just let me do what I do.

No. I'm not gonna just sit on the sidelines.

I wanna be a part of it.

That's not a good idea. Samantha,

I'm not gonna live in fear my whole life. You said it.

The only way that's gonna happen is if I stand up to him.

Then be prepared to testify again.

I have a feeling new evidence is gonna come to light

that links him to that mugging.

I'll be ready.

Damn it, I don't care if your firm has conflict.

I need this.

Yeah? Well, I'll remember that

the next time you come to me for a favor.

Harvey?

Do you have a second?

Of course, Donna. What do you need?

Well, it's just...

Thomas is so excited about this deal,

I wanna take him out to celebrate.

I'm wondering, do you think it's gonna close tonight

or tomorrow night? It won't be tonight.

We still need to get approval from Simon's board.

Wouldn't they approve it before approaching him?

Well, they did, in concept.

Now they just need to approve the actual deal,

which takes a beat.

I get it.

This is about Elaine Phillips.

She's in Norway, you don't know when she'll be back,

and you don't want me to have to keep this from Thomas.

That's right. You got me.

No. Harvey.

There is no Elaine Phillips.

When I asked about this deal closing,

you got a look on your face. I wanna know why.

We are not having this conversation.

Yes, we are. I can't make sense of why you're acting like this

other than Thomas' deal is in trouble.

I'm not gonna tell you what's going on.

And I'm not leaving till you do.

If I do leave, I'm just gonna call him

and tell him that something's going on. So--

Okay. Pfft. You know what?

All right, you wanna know?

Simon was using Thomas as a stalking horse.

I don't believe this.

Donna, we can fix it.

Fix it? There is no fixing it.

Thomas isn't gonna want to be in business with Simon

when he finds out. No matter what you do.

He's not gonna find out about it.

Because if we tell him, we've betrayed our other client.

What about this client? I'll tell you about this client.

I went to Alex to get us out of this.

He's gonna try and get Thomas' original mall owner

to sweeten the deal. And what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna try to get Restoration to back out.

And either of these things can work,

but only if we don't tell Thomas.

You are putting me in a really shitty position.

No, Donna. Simon put us all in a shitty position.

I'm busting my ass to get us out of this.

I just need you to trust me.

[♪♪♪]

Wanna tell me what's going on with you and Louis?

What are you talking about?

I heard what happened in court yesterday.

And I know you. You're not about to let this lie.

So what if I'm not? I want you not to do

whatever it is I know you're going to.

Look. If this is about plausible deniability,

don't worry. Consider yourself out of it.

It has nothing to do with plau--

Samantha, you cannot do what we did.

I'm telling you, you'll regret it.

Bullshit.

You didn't regret it.

Yes, I did.

And since when is that?

Last time we talked about it, you were right as rain.

Last time we talked about it was eight years ago.

And you don't know what happens over time

when you do something like that.

[♪♪♪]

He's hurting, Robert.

Louis is hurting.

You saw what he was like when it happened.

You saw what I was like when it happened to me.

So what am I supposed to do?

I want you to promise me you'll find another way.

[BUZZES]

Donna. I was just thinking about you.

I was thinking about you too, Mom. Funny how that happens.

What's on your mind, honey?

Do you remember my senior year, when we were gonna go to Paris?

Of course I remember. Why?

DONNA: Well, I have a decision to make.

One side is work

and the other side is someone I care about.

Actually, both sides involve someone I care about.

MOTHER: I bet I can guess who the work side involves.

But what does that have to do with Paris?

Do you regret giving Dad the money?

No, I don't.

DONNA: Even though it didn't work out?

MOTHER: Well, how could I have known that?

Because Dad let you down before.

Donna, your father has never let me down.

Not in the ways that matter.

What do you mean?

MOTHER: Your father is the kindest, gentlest,

most loving man I have ever met.

And if I hadn't shown faith in him,

it would've eaten away at him for the rest of his life.

So...

if you had it all to do over again,

would you make the same choice?

MOTHER: I can't tell you that.

But what I do regret is we never took that trip.

So go with your gut,

but don't let the once-in-a-lifetime chances

pass you by.

Hey, Mom.

What do you say we go to Paris next year?

I say yes.

BRIAN: Mr. Barrow, this isn't about amounts of ammonia

so small they're a technical violation of our lease.

This is about you having another tenant willing to pay more.

Who I may or may not have doesn't matter.

It should. Because we're willing to offer you

something they're not.

Ten percent equity in the company.

A fledgling company with unproven revenue.

BRIAN: No, Morgan. They're more than that.

When you look at our client, you see

a naïve, young entrepreneur and not much else.

And on paper, that's exactly what she is.

But sometimes who someone is on paper isn't who they are at all.

My client may be young, but she's brilliant.

And hardworking.

And most importantly, passionate.

That's why I'm proud to work with her.

And why, if you get in on the ground floor right now,

you won't need to worry about leases or any of that anymore.

Because you'll be on an island somewhere sipping piña coladas

paid for by the brilliant decision you made today.

The only thing I'd be paying for

is some snake oil and a silver tongue.

Because that's the biggest load

of sappy bullshit from-- Shut your mouth.

This man is defending his client's honor.

He's doing it by offering something

you don't deserve, and I've had it.

Katrina. You think I don't know

who your mysterious other tenant is?

I do. And if a food distribution company

rents space that's been exposed

to significant amounts of ammonia

without you disclosing it,

you'll go to prison.

You can't do this.

Yes, we can, you piece of shit.

In fact, that offer just went away.

So keep us in or kick us out,

but your next tenant isn't gonna be

the goddamn one you had in mind.

[♪♪♪]

I've never seen you like that. Where did that come from?

It came from knowing this is your first client,

and I wasn't gonna let them beat you.

Like you've done for me countless times.

How did you even know what company it was?

I didn't.

But 50 percent of PATTIE's predictions

were food companies, so I bluffed.

If it had turned out they made clocks,

we would have been in big trouble.

What?

You continue to surprise me.

Because I never saw you as someone

who'd take a chance on a fifty-fifty bet.

I wouldn't have before I met you.

I guess I've made you a better lawyer.

I meant, in my mind it was fifty-fifty

if keeping you on was going to work out.

I don't believe it. Gambling, making jokes. Who are you?

I'll tell you who I am.

I am the person who is proud to officially give you

your first solo client.

Thanks, Katrina.

I really appreciate it.

I can't wait to go home and share the news.

[♪♪♪]

What's going on? Did you take care of it?

Change of plans.

What do you mean? I didn't know

what the plan was in the first place.

You did. I was gonna do something illegal,

and I'm not gonna do that anymore.

What's the new plan?

You talking about leveraging? Yes, I am.

Samantha, this is a child. I know what it is.

You, of all people, coming from where you come from,

should know that doing this could ruin her life.

Only if it doesn't work. Which is why we'll make it work.

No, we're not. I'll do it alone.

I don't think you heard me.

You said you don't wanna live in fear.

No, I said I wanna go after him.

This is going after him.

Goddamn it, it's his family.

It's a family.

[♪♪♪]

I know it is, Louis.

But it's your family too.

So, what do you wanna do?

THOMAS: All I'm saying is, would it be terrible

if Thomas Kessler became

the official furniture of the United Nations?

Am I going on too much about this expansion?

We can go out right now, don't have to talk about it at all.

No, no, it's not that. It's just...

I haven't been feeling well.

I had that same feeling earlier today.

How so?

My original mall owner called me.

He wants me back. Even offered a much better deal than Simon.

Thomas, that's fantastic. Why would that make you feel bad?

I already have a deal in place with Simon Lowe.

It was hard to tell him you're backing out.

No, it was hard to tell Glen that I was passing.

What?

You passed on a better deal?

Not formally. But when I told him,

Glen gave me up until 10 tomorrow to decide, and...

I'll take it as a courtesy, but I really don't need to.

I shook Simon's hand. He's my guy.

[♪♪♪]

What?

Nothing.

It's one of the things that I admire about you.

You're a man of your word.

But speaking of not feeling well,

I think I'm just gonna... go get some ginger ale.

Donna, come on, don't be silly.

Let me get it for you. No. Actually...

I think I need some fresh air.

You stay here. I'll be back in 10 minutes.

You sure? I'm sure.

[PHONE BUZZES]

Hello? DONNA: What's going on

with getting Restoration to back out?

Thomas didn't tell you?

Alex got his old landlord to crush Simon's offer.

He did tell me. He also told me that he's not taking it.

And it disappears tomorrow.

Shit.

Look, we can still fix it.

How are we gonna fix it?

I can get Restoration to back out.

What if you don't? Thomas will lose his expansion,

and I'm not gonna let that happen.

Neither am I, Donna. This thing isn't over.

I just need you to have faith.

I'll text you in the morning.

Please, don't do anything until you hear from me.

Okay, Harvey.

I'll wait to hear from you.

What are you doing here? We know the mother of your child

is the recipient of Section 8 Housing benefits.

She's in danger of losing them. What?

That assistance can't go to someone with a criminal history.

She doesn't have a criminal history.

But you do. I don't live there.

Oh? You said you did when you got arrested.

I have a gas bill with your name on it.

We go to the Housing Authority, you'll lose your daughter.

Bullshit. No, not bullshit, Maurice.

You're getting evicted.

You think Family Services

will let your little girl be homeless?

What do you want from me? Your money back?

'Cause that ain't happening.

Turn yourself in, admit what you did.

You think that's what's happening here?

I know that's what's happening. Nah, you ain't doing that.

Why you think I picked you?

I could've taken 10 people into that alley,

but the second I saw you, I knew you were my guy.

Motherfucker. When you held that gun to my head,

told me not to look at you, I was afraid.

Do I seem afraid now?

Only one person is making a call tonight.

You're turning yourself in

or I'm calling the Housing Authority.

No way you put a woman and child on the street.

I'm not putting them there, Mo.

You are. Watch.

Nah, you ain't doing that. I know where you live.

MAN: You've reached the New York Housing Authority.

Hi, I'd like to report a Section 8 violation.

Put the phone down.

There's a woman living with a criminal,

and she's leaving his name off the lease.

I said put it down. You can call Family Services.

The woman's name-- You motherf--

[GRUNTS]

What's it gonna be? Because in another two seconds,

they'll have your name.

Okay, I'll make the call.

I just made it for you. 911. Say hi.

WOMAN: 911. What's your emergency?

I wanna report a crime.

WOMAN: Sir, what did you witness?

I ain't a witness. I'm the one who did it.

[♪♪♪]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Am I interrupting?

No. I was just reading.

Tennessee Williams.

I know it might cost more,

but if anyone's doing one of his plays when we're in Paris--

Actually, honey, that's what I wanted

to talk to you about. Paris. What about it?

Your dad has a building he wants to buy.

And in order to secure the loan, we're gonna--

He needs our Paris money.

Honey, it doesn't mean we're not gonna go.

It just means we can't go this year.

But you saved for so long.

And if you use the money for this--

It's not like that.

In two years, we're gonna have our money back plus more.

And then we're gonna be able to go for a month

instead of two weeks.

You're not sure this is gonna work, are you?

I forgot you can do that.

Donna, I promise you.

We are going to Paris.

I understand.

Another year.

You know, I gotta say, I may be coming around

to your way of making coffee after all.

Thomas?

Simon Lowe was using you as a stalking horse.

The deal you made was a ploy

to get Restoration Hardware to the table.

You're a backup plan. It's why your deal hasn't closed yet.

[SCOFFS]

Why are you the one telling me and not my lawyer?

Because Alex is trying to fix it.

So is Harvey. But I don't know

that they're gonna be able to fix it.

And your other offer expires this morning,

and I don't wanna be responsible.

Donna, you are not responsible for anything. Okay?

So, what are you gonna do?

I'll tell you what I'm not gonna do.

Let the company that I've spent my life nurturing

get taken out at the knees just when it's starting to walk.

[♪♪♪]

Thomas. I didn't see we had a meeting on the books.

We didn't. But this won't take long.

I'm going with Glen.

[CHUCKLES]

Thomas, that's great. I'll get on it right away.

Listen, first things first.

I wanna issue a press release.

I don't want the world to think we're going with Pierpont.

Listen-- Unless there's some reason

you wouldn't want me to announce I'm pulling out.

You know.

You're damn right I know. Donna told me,

and she wouldn't have had to if you hadn't kept this from me.

I kept it because I shouldn't have known.

You got the deal because I made it happen.

You leverage him into a better deal based on Pierpont's offer,

something I never would've wanted.

Which is why I'm taking Glen's offer at the original rate

and putting out an announcement.

You do that, it screws over the guy who told us about this.

I'm sorry, Alex.

This is my business and my reputation.

I'm putting out a message I'm not gonna act in bad faith

or be treated in bad faith.

So either you put out that press release

or I'm gonna do it myself.

[♪♪♪]

Brian. How are you are this bright morning?

I'm okay, Katrina,

but there's something I have to tell you.

By all means, go right ahead.

Last night, I was having dinner with Julie...

and I started telling her about us and the case

and what we did for Bespoke.

Where are you going with this?

The whole time I was talking,

I wasn't talking about the case or the client.

I was talking about you.

And Julie said you sound so great,

we should have you over for dinner.

And then she saw a look on my face.

Brian.

She asked if anything had ever happened

between us, and I said no.

And nothing ever will. Even if it doesn't,

I can't feel this way about someone who isn't Julie.

Brian, what are you saying?

I can't work here anymore.

What?

No, you can't-- I have to.

Then I'll go to Louis right now,

and you can be someone else's associate.

Stop.

Brian, please don't do this.

It's gonna be okay.

I promise.

No, it's not.

[♪♪♪]

But I respect your decision.

Goodbye, Katrina.

Harvey, where have you been?

I've been texting you for two hours.

I know. We're running out of time.

I think I've got a way to get Restoration to drop out.

Too late. Your problem's gonna be keeping Restoration in.

What are you talking about? Donna told Thomas everything.

That's-- No. How could she do that?

I don't know. He dropped out,

and he's taking out a full-page ad in the Journal to say it.

Fuck. All right.

Right now, I gotta call Simon

and tell him to close that Restoration deal

as soon as possible.

SIMON: It's too late for that. They called and demanded

a 30 percent reduction, or they're gone.

It's a setback, but Thomas isn't the only stalking horse

out there. I can find--

You're not gonna find me anything

until you can tell me you're not behind this.

Simon, I didn't tell Thomas a thing.

He didn't either? When the two of you

are standing here talking about my deal?

I don't know what you're talking about. My client dropped out.

I was doing your attorney a solid by informing him.

Bullshit.

Someone let Thomas know.

Since you're the only person with the full story,

it had to be you.

And yet here you are, lying right to my face.

Simon--

Save it, Harvey.

You're fired.

[♪♪♪]

What the hell did you do?

[SIGHS] I did what I said I was gonna do.

You said you were gonna find another way.

I did find another way.

Bullshit. A man up and confesses to a crime?

You blackmailed him. No.

I used something he did to get him to confess

to something else he did. That is not blackmail.

It's messing with shit you shouldn't mess with.

It has unintended consequences. Robert, I've had about enough

of your unintended-consequences bullshit.

So either tell me what you are talking about,

or shut the fuck up.

Because Louis didn't get the wrong guy

and neither did you and I. Don't you tell me we did.

Don't you see? It's not about the wrong man.

It's about taking matters into your own hands

and what happens when you do that.

[♪♪♪]

You know, Robert, I just don't get it.

Louis is safe now.

How can you not see that as a good thing?

I know it's a good thing for Louis.

What I'm afraid of is it's gonna become a bad thing for you.

[♪♪♪]

Can I talk to you for a second?

Of course, Brian. But if this is about Bespoke Handbags,

I already approved you as their lead counsel.

Actually, that is why I'm here.

I can't be their lead counsel. Yes, you can, Brian.

Because you deserve them,

which is why I want you to take them with you.

But before I let you go, I wanna know

if this is about what's going on between you and Katrina.

What? How could you--?

I suspected a few weeks ago,

and then she told me.

Then all I can say is it's about doing

what I have to, to protect my family.

Then I say I want you to take Bespoke with you.

Because you've earned them.

I don't know what to say. You don't have to say anything.

Because as big as this city is, Brian, it is a very small world.

We're gonna see you in court someday.

And when we do-- I won't go easy on you.

Good man. Are you sure about all this?

Come on, Brian.

You're doing this for your family.

Trust me, no one understands sacrificing for their family

more than me.

I'm proud of you.

Whatever it is, I don't wanna hear it. So turn around--

Harvey. Donna, Simon fired me...

As he had every right to do

because I trusted you to keep your mouth shut and you didn't.

Because I couldn't. What does that mean?

Means I wasn't gonna let someone I care about get screwed

when I had the power to stop it.

In other words, you chose him over the firm.

Yeah, I did.

And I'm not gonna feel bad about it,

because I always put the firm first.

Whether it's Mike's secret or Coastal Motors

or a thousand other things.

Then don't feel bad about it, Donna. But get out of my office.

[SCOFFS] Okay, I see what this is.

I see what you're really upset about.

I'm upset because I lost a client.

No. You're upset I chose Thomas over you.

That's what you think? Yeah, it is.

Then you don't know anything.

The only reason I was breaking my back to save his deal

is because I know how much he means to you.

If it was anyone else, I never would've

told you or Alex in the first place.

Then what are you mad about?

You didn't give me a chance to fix it

when you said you would.

You lost faith in me.

For all the time we have been together,

that has never happened.

Harvey, if there's anyone in the world

[CHOKING UP] I have faith in...

it's you.

But the clock was striking midnight.

And I had to make a choice. It's just a client.

Can't you understand that?

DANIEL: Am I interrupting?

What are you doing here, Daniel?

I'm here because Simon Lowe hired me

as outside counsel for Pierpont Malls.

All the lawyers in the world and he called you?

No, Donna, I called him.

When I offered my services free of charge, he accepted.

And what services would those be?

Embezzling? Extortion?

Suing this firm on behalf of my new client.

You're a glutton for punishment, Daniel. You know that, right?

Talk tough all you want, but you broke privilege.

And now...

I'm gonna make you pay.
