|
What do you need |
|
my help for? |
|
- Wait. Can I just... |
|
- No. Give me an update. |
|
Uh, you know, |
|
she's a nice woman. |
|
- She, uh... |
|
- On the case. |
|
I don't get emotionally attached |
|
to the clients. |
|
This woman had her life ripped apart. |
|
You don't even care? |
|
I'm not about caring. |
|
I'm about winning. |
|
Why can't you |
|
be about both? |
|
I'd explain it to you but then I'd have |
|
to care about you. |
|
Right. |
|
What are you doing? |
|
Don't touch that. |
|
I'm just checking |
|
my lock. |
|
You ride your bike to... |
|
It's locked, okay? |
|
Come on. |
|
Taxi! |
|
Defense sent over |
|
the investigation files as a courtesy. |
|
No, they didn't. Nobody does anything |
|
as a courtesy. |
|
They sent those files |
|
because that's where they want |
|
you to look. |
|
Listen, being a lawyer |
|
is like being a doctor. |
|
You mean how you don't get emotional |
|
about the client? |
|
No. I mean, you keep pressing |
|
until it hurts, |
|
then you know |
|
where to look. |
|
Forget about impeaching |
|
the investigation. |
|
It won't lead anywhere. No employee |
|
is going to testify |
|
against their own CEO. |
|
Okay. So, what do |
|
you suggest I do? |
|
Think. If this guy's |
|
done this once... |
|
MIKE: He's done it before. |
|
And if the people who work for him now |
|
won't testify against him... |
|
Someone who used to |
|
work for him might. |
|
You know what? |
|
I'd subpoena the personnel records |
|
of every woman |
|
who's left the firm |
|
during this guy's tenure. |
|
That's funny. That's exactly |
|
what I thought. |
|
Then what do you |
|
need my help for? |
|
I don't know how to fill out |
|
a subpoena. |
|
By the way, did you get her to sign |
|
the engagement letter? |
|
(LAUGHS) Yeah. |
|
What's an |
|
engagement letter? |
|
It's a piece of paper that keeps her |
|
from being able to sue us. |
|
Oh. |
|
Uh, hey. Donna, can you show me how to |
|
fill out a subpoena? |
|
Absolutely. And after that, |
|
you want me to show you |
|
how to wipe your ass? |
|
It's funny, because you |
|
should already know |
|
how to do |
|
both those things. |
|
Ah, yeah. |
|
That's hilarious. |
|
What's that? |
|
That's my suit guy. |
|
Go in, tell him I sent you, |
|
and spend some money. |
|
What does it matter how much money |
|
I spend on suits? |
|
People respond to |
|
how we're dressed. |
|
So, like it or not, this is what |
|
you have to do. |
|
Oh, that's weird. |
|
You're giving me advice? |
|
It sounds like you actually |
|
care about me. |
|
I don't. |
|
You're a reflection of me, |
|
and I absolutely |
|
care about me. |
|
So get your skinny tie out of my face |
|
and get to work. |
|
That was a little harsh. |
|
- Really? |
|
- Yeah. |
|
Mike. Where are you going? |
|
It's 6:30. |
|
I'm going home. |
|
(LAUGHS) |
|
Okay. What's so funny? |
|
You're a rookie associate. |
|
If you go home before 9:00 |
|
on your first week, |
|
you're not going to make it through |
|
your first month. |
|
- Oh. |
|
- And Louis Litt wants to see you. |
|
- Hey. Can I ask you something? |
|
- Mmm-hmm. |
|
This tie, |
|
is it too skinny? |
|
Yeah. |
|
All right. |
|
(SIGHS) |
|
I know |
|
you had orientation from Rachel, |
|
but I wanted to give |
|
you a special welcome from me. |
|
Um, amongst other things, |
|
I'm sort |
|
of the disciplinarian of the associates. |
|
You wanted |
|
to see me? |
|
Yes. Gary, please come in. |
|
Mike, this is Gary Lipsky. |
|
Gary's one of our most |
|
promising associates from last year. |
|
Hi. |
|
Gary, Ms. Pearson |
|
wanted me to ask, |
|
have you completed |
|
the Petramco filing? |
|
Uh, well, my brother |
|
was in over the weekend, |
|
so I didn't |
|
really get to it. |
|
Gary, come on. This is, |
|
like, the third time I've had to ask. |
|
I'll get right on it. |
|
Don't bother. |
|
You're fired. |
|
What? You... |
|
You can't fire me. |
|
Oh, yes, I can. |
|
And I just did. |
|
Go pack up |
|
your things. |
|
Don't you ever show your face |
|
in this place again. |
|
See, I arranged |
|
for you to see that |
|
because we pay |
|
our associates very well |
|
and we provide the opportunity for |
|
unlimited advancement. |
|
But in return, |
|
we expect results. |
|
Have I made myself clear? |
|
Yeah. |
|
Great. |
|
Welcome to |
|
Pearson Hardman. |
|
Feel free to |
|
go back to work. |
|
Harvey. |
|
Okay, I have |
|
two words for you. |
|
Absolutely beautiful. |
|
You think you're the only one who can |
|
charm a client? |
|
Categorically stunning. |
|
How's the new kid |
|
working out? |
|
Really hot. |
|
You're an idiot. |
|
Jessica Pearson. |
|
Good night, Harvey. |
|
Goodnight. |
|
ANNOUNCER ON TV: |
|
Sunday's big game finds Washington |
|
traveling to Philadelphia. |
|
What are you |
|
doing here? |
|
Watching SportsCenter. |
|
Boo-yah! |
|
You won't return |
|
my phone calls. |
|
Uh, yeah, because |
|
you set me up. |
|
- You remember that? |
|
- You think I knew about that? |
|
(LAUGHS) Here we go. |
|
Round 50 of "I get the shaft because you |
|
didn't know the whole story." |
|
You knew there were risks when you |
|
quoted that crap from that book. Okay? |
|
You needed money, and I came through |
|
with an opportunity like always. |
|
Besides, you weren't the only |
|
one who got screwed. |
|
They pulled |
|
a gun on me. |
|
Oh, really? |
|
And why did they do that? |
|
To keep me from |
|
warning you. |
|
So, you did know. |
|
Well, not until after |
|
it was too late. |
|
Well, it's too late now. |
|
Look, let me |
|
make it up to you. |
|
Oh, you want to |
|
make it up to me? |
|
Give me my key back. |
|
Michael. Come on. |
|
You know I don't want to live in a world |
|
where we're not tight. |
|
Then kill yourself. |
|
Get out. |
|
Get the hell out. |
|
Donna, I need the... Oh, also, I didn't |
|
have a chance to... |
|
- Marry me? |
|
- I took care of that, too. |
|
We've been married |
|
for the last seven years. |
|
Excellent. |
|
Um, Devlin McGreggor is fighting |
|
the subpoena. |
|
They filed a motion |
|
to dismiss the case |
|
- based on our lack of evidence. |
|
- Good. |
|
Good... Wait. What do you |
|
mean "good"? |
|
They don't want to hand over |
|
the files. |
|
You pressed |
|
where it hurt. |
|
You're looking |
|
in the right place. |
|
Did you think they |
|
wouldn't fight back? |
|
Well, I... |
|
Now that you mention it. |
|
Oh. My bad. |
|
I keep forgetting |
|
you don't actually know anything. |
|
(LAUGHS MOCKINGLY) |
|
The idea is you make a move, |
|
they make a move. |
|
You go back and forth |
|
until one of you wins. |
|
Okay. What if they |
|
win the motion |
|
and the case |
|
gets dismissed? |
|
Then you're not as good |
|
as you think you are. |
|
Harvey! What a coincidence. |
|
I was wondering |
|
how the pro bono was coming. |
|
- I'm all over it. |
|
- That makes me very happy. |
|
Because if I were to find out |
|
that you weren't |
|
putting in your |
|
full effort, |
|
- I would be very upset. |
|
- No worries. |
|
We're all good. |
|
Rachel. Rachel, |
|
Rachel, Rachel. |
|
I need your help. There's a hearing |
|
on my subpoena. |
|
I've got three cases |
|
in front of yours. |
|
You're going to |
|
have to wait in line. |
|
Wait. No. No, no, no. |
|
My hearing is tomorrow. |
|
So, why are you |
|
coming to me? |
|
Because Donna says you're the best |
|
researcher in the firm. |
|
Hmm. Let me see |
|
the motion. |
|
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. |
|
You have an office? |
|
How do you have an office |
|
and I have a cubicle? |
|
Like you said, I'm the best |
|
researcher in the firm. |
|
Really? Well, |
|
I just made that up. |
|
I didn't even have |
|
time to talk to Donna. |
|
Is this all |
|
a joke to you? |
|
Because I take |
|
my job seriously. |
|
No, I'm... I'm sorry. |
|
Look, I was... |
|
Look, you |
|
weren't there. |
|
Okay? I care |
|
about this woman. |
|
She's got nowhere |
|
else to turn and... |
|
And you can't |
|
help her by yourself. |
|
I can. |
|
I just prefer not to. |
|
Okay. |
|
You're asking to |
|
look at private files |
|
without any evidence |
|
of your assertion. |
|
Yeah. But the only way that we can |
|
find the evidence |
|
is to look |
|
at those files. |
|
That's a rickety argument. |
|
But is there precedent? |
|
Let's go see |
|
if we can find one. |
|
Research is as much |
|
art as science. |
|
So, we're going to look at privacy |
|
and harassment law. |
|
See if we can find a combination of |
|
cases to make an argument. |
|
I'll take privacy. |
|
I'll take harassment law. |
|
This will take |
|
a while. |
|
We're going to need dinner. |
|
Chinese. |
|
No. I can afford |
|
Chinese on my own. |
|
- This is on the firm. I want sushi. |
|
- Ooh |
|
(LAUGHS) |
|
HARVEY: So, they told me to put my top |
|
investigator on it. |
|
What did you do? |
|
What could I do? You were out of |
|
the country. |
|
I gave them Luderman. |
|
(LAUGHS) |
|
Harvey, this has |
|
been lovely, |
|
but I believe |
|
you know what I want. |
|
I think I've got |
|
what you want. |
|
Well... |
|
By the way, |
|
that dress... |
|
What, this old thing? |
|
Come on. |
|
Beautiful. Why don't we |
|
do this more often? |
|
Because it always |
|
ends the same way. |
|
Then why are we |
|
doing it now? |
|
Because you're paying me. |
|
Vanessa, really. |
|
How come you |
|
and I never... |
|
Harvey, I don't |
|
sleep around. |
|
And I could never be |
|
in a relationship with you. |
|
All you ever think |
|
about is yourself. |
|
I'm thinking about |
|
you and me right now. |
|
(SIGHS) |
|
Let me get this. |
|
But I'm a gentleman. |
|
But if you get it, you might think |
|
I'll change my mind someday. |
|
I already do. |
|
For the record, |
|
I am not selfish everywhere. |
|
Neither am I. |
|
Mr. Dockery, |
|
you naughty, naughty boy. |
|
(LAUGHING) |
|
Remember when I said you thought |
|
you were too smart |
|
- to be a paralegal? |
|
- Mmm-hmm. |
|
- Why... |
|
- Aren't I a lawyer? |
|
I don't test well. |
|
- What? |
|
- I... I'm smart. |
|
And I know I'd be |
|
a good lawyer. |
|
I just... I don't know what it is. |
|
I can't take tests. |
|
And I bombed |
|
the LSATs. |
|
And even if I could |
|
get into a law school, |
|
there's just no way |
|
I'd pass the bar. |
|
So, if only |
|
there were someone |
|
who could take |
|
the tests for me. |
|
Yeah, if only |
|
there were. |
|
Yeah. |
|
Mike, where are you at with the research |
|
for tomorrow's hearing? |
|
Uh, nothing yet. |
|
You say you care |
|
about the client, |
|
but if you keep playing footsie instead |
|
of finding me an argument, |
|
the client's |
|
going to lose. |
|
I don't want |
|
to lose. |
|
(EXHALES DEEPLY) |
|
(GROANS) |
|
Look, it's no use, okay? |
|
Their investigation |
|
is by the book. |
|
We look like |
|
the bad guys coming in, |
|
putting them |
|
under duress. |
|
What did you just say? |
|
I said we look |
|
like the bad guys. |
|
No. You said they |
|
did it by the book, |
|
and we're putting them |
|
under duress. |
|
Yeah? |
|
Look. |
|
Hmm. |
|
This is good. We're going to |
|
have some fun. |
|
We? I get to go? |
|
You didn't think I would let you |
|
come along? |
|
- No. |
|
- Good instinct. |
|
I wasn't. But then, I thought it |
|
would be cruel |
|
not to let you |
|
witness my greatness. |
|
Okay. Can I go |
|
get my bag? |
|
No. |
|
- You're a true giver. |
|
- Other side. |
|
Okay. |
|
Your Honor, this case |
|
should be thrown out. |
|
Other than her story, the plaintiff |
|
doesn't have one piece of evidence. |
|
Because the evidence |
|
lies within their personnel files, |
|
which they're conveniently |
|
refusing to hand over. |
|
Those files contain |
|
sensitive information. |
|
He's fishing at the expense |
|
of our employees' right to privacy. |
|
Please. |
|
He doesn't give a rat's ass |
|
about his employees' right to privacy. |
|
Sorry. That's actually |
|
unfair to rats' asses. |
|
Your Honor, Mr. Specter's claim that we |
|
don't care about our employees, |
|
though belittling, doesn't carry any |
|
weight as a rule of law. |
|
True. But what does carry weight is that |
|
an investigation of |
|
sexual harassment must be conducted |
|
without any duress. |
|
Your point? |
|
The investigator and every person |
|
being interviewed |
|
answers to the CEO |
|
they're investigating. |
|
That is the definition |
|
of duress. |
|
It would be as if your bailiff accused |
|
you of sexual harassment, |
|
and you assigned your stenographer |
|
to investigate. |
|
Now, how likely would it be that this |
|
investigation yielded any fruit? |
|
You honestly think |
|
I would harass Herman? |
|
Well, I don't know, |
|
Your Honor. |
|
Some people have a thing |
|
for the uniform. |
|
Uh, I'd like to think |
|
Herman would come to me |
|
before it even got |
|
to an investigation. |
|
I saw that. |
|
That should be stricken. |
|
But what if Herman did |
|
come to you, Your Honor? |
|
And you betrayed his trust by firing him |
|
under false pretenses? |
|
You really think |
|
that little of me? |
|
I wouldn't trust you |
|
as far as I can throw you, Your Honor. |
|
- Hand over the files. |
|
- Oh, my... |
|
Today. |
|
(BANGS GAVEL) |
|
That's it. |
|
Herman? |
|
I'd like to speak |
|
to you in chambers. |
|
That was awesome. |
|
It was your argument. |
|
I just framed it in a way |
|
that humanized the situation and |
|
brightened all of our afternoons. |
|
I feel like |
|
Michael Corleone in that scene |
|
where that fat guy teaches him how |
|
to shoot that gun. |
|
Are you saying that |
|
I'm the fat guy? |
|
Because I'm not |
|
the fat guy. |
|
Mmm. |
|
Do you know what |
|
his name was? |
|
- Yeah. |
|
- Cardoza. |
|
- Clemenza. |
|
- I knew that. |
|
I was just testing |
|
to see if you knew it. |
|
I knew that you |
|
knew that I knew. |
|
Train wreck. |
|
Hey. I'm looking |
|
for Rene? |
|
I'm Rene. |
|
I'm sorry. |
|
We don't sell skinny |
|
jeans at this location. |
|
(SIGHS) |
|
Did Harvey tell you |
|
I was coming, or... |
|
Harvey Specter sent you? |
|
That's another story. |
|
Do you know your inseam? |
|
I don't. |
|
It's probably a medium. |
|
Why don't you |
|
browse for a while? |
|
These are the most exclusive, |
|
and we move down in price as you head to |
|
the door. |
|
Oh! |
|
Okay. |
|
(CLEARS THROAT) |
|
Large? |
|
(LAUGHS) |
|
That's not how it works. |
|
Huh. |
|
(POP SONG PLAYING) |
|
(CELL PHONE RINGING) |
|
So, Trevor's getting you to do his dirty |
|
work for him, huh? |
|
All I know is you aren't talking |
|
to each other. |
|
I miss you. I want things to go back |
|
to the way they were. |
|
I miss you, too. |
|
But I'm not sure things are ever going |
|
back to the way they were. |
|
I've got to go. |
|
What did he say? |
|
He said things aren't ever going back to |
|
the way they were. |
|
What did you do? |
|
I don't know. |
|
Hey! |
|
So the files |
|
are on their way. |
|
We won? |
|
That's fantastic. |
|
So we have a week to corroborate |
|
Nancy's story. |
|
Listen, I couldn't have |
|
done it without you. |
|
You wouldn't even know |
|
where to look without me. |
|
- You know what nobody likes? |
|
- Hmm? |
|
Nobody likes a show-off. |
|
(PHONE RINGING) |
|
(LAUGHS) |
|
Hello? Yeah, he's here. |
|
Okay, thank you. |
|
The files are in |
|
conference room C. |
|
Why wouldn't they |
|
bring them to my cubicle? |
|
They're trying to |
|
bury you in paperwork. |
|
Well, they picked |
|
the wrong guy. |
|
If they didn't, I did. |
|
Get it done by the end of the week. |
|
I've got to run and |
|
charm a new client. |
|
(SIGHING) |
|
Nice to finally meet you. |
|
Jessica says you're going to |
|
sweep me off my feet. |
|
I'll do my best, |
|
Mr. Dockery. |
|
You've got a nice |
|
serve there. |
|
Working on it. |
|
What the hell is this? |
|
It's you having sex with a woman who |
|
isn't Mrs. Dockery. |
|
Are you trying |
|
to blackmail me? |
|
You asked my firm where you're |
|
vulnerable to corporate take-over. |
|
- That's it, right there. |
|
- What are you pulling here? |
|
Your wife owns |
|
10% of the company's voting shares. |
|
You've been seeing this woman and |
|
several others for quite some time. |
|
How do you think your wife's going to |
|
vote after she finds out? |
|
Who says she |
|
has to find out? |
|
My investigator got |
|
these within a week. |
|
What do you think a motivated competitor |
|
is going to dig up in a year? |
|
I have a solution. |
|
Trade her your |
|
preferred shares, |
|
which have no voting rights, |
|
for her common shares, which do. |
|
The preferred shares |
|
are worth $2,000,000 more. |
|
A fraction of what you'll lose if you |
|
get voted out of your company. |
|
John, I don't care if you sleep with |
|
every woman in the Hamptons. |
|
Just give her |
|
the preferred shares. |
|
Jessica said you were going to charm me |
|
to get my business. |
|
I'm not interested in |
|
getting your business. |
|
I'm interested |
|
in keeping it. |
|
Now, shall we play? I'm not going |
|
to let you win. |
|
(SIGHING) I know where they |
|
don't want us to look. |
|
Did you get through |
|
all those files in one night? |
|
I would have done it faster, |
|
but I ordered a pizza. |
|
Speaking of which, have you ever had |
|
the cheese in the crust? |
|
Because it blew my mind. |
|
What did you find? |
|
There was a dismissal |
|
on March 12th, 2005. |
|
But the file with the employee name |
|
on it is missing. |
|
That's our woman. |
|
I know it is. |
|
I'm moving to slap sanctions on their |
|
attorney, possible jail time. |
|
The guy is not going |
|
to know what hit him. |
|
Dennis, it's Harvey Specter. |
|
Did you have anything to do with |
|
the March 12th, 2005, |
|
files left out of discovery? |
|
(SNIFFS) |
|
If they're here by noon, I'll believe |
|
you. If not, we're filing for sanctions. |
|
Threat of sanctions is better than |
|
filing for sanctions. |
|
That's what I meant. Threaten, not file. |
|
Who would mean that? |
|
Shave. |
|
Have you ever heard of this woman? |
|
Joanna Webster? |
|
No. Why? |
|
The company has |
|
tried to hide her from us. |
|
She met with personnel |
|
over work-related issues in 2005. |
|
And then, they fired her |
|
two months later. |
|
You think Hunt did |
|
the same thing to her that he did to me? |
|
Yes, I do. |
|
Then you have to make her come |
|
forward and say so. |
|
Yeah. That's the plan. |
|
Okay. |
|
Um... Uh, actually, |
|
before you go, |
|
can I get you to sign |
|
this engagement letter? |
|
Evidently, it's something |
|
you're supposed to do |
|
at the beginning. |
|
(BOTH CHUCKLE) |
|
Perfect. |
|
- Thank you. |
|
- Thank you. |
|
(YAWNS) |
|
Joanna Webster? |
|
Can I help you? |
|
Hi, uh, my name is Mike Ross. |
|
I'm a lawyer. |
|
I have some questions for you about your |
|
time at Devlin McGreggor. |
|
Uh, please! Look... |
|
Just let me tell you a story about |
|
my client, okay? |
|
I've got to get these |
|
in the fridge |
|
It will just |
|
take a second. |
|
Fine. |
|
Look, all I need you to do |
|
is to tell your story. |
|
If you corroborate with... |
|
Mr. Ross, what happened to me |
|
happened six years ago. |
|
It was horrible |
|
and there was a reason |
|
I didn't do |
|
anything about it. |
|
They'll put me on that stand and attack |
|
me, and I don't want that. |
|
Ms. Webster. |
|
Joanna. (CHUCKLES) |
|
This man is a predator. |
|
And if you don't help stop him, |
|
he will do it again. |
|
All you have to do |
|
is give a deposition... |
|
I'm sorry. |
|
I can't do it. |
|
(EXHALES) |
|
What happened |
|
with the witness? |
|
I failed. |
|
To not be awesome. |
|
I got her to testify. |
|
You should have seen me. |
|
I tried everything. |
|
He'd do it again. |
|
I'd be with her |
|
every step of the way. |
|
Nothing worked. |
|
And then, it hit me. |
|
I asked her, what if it was her daughter |
|
that he did this to? |
|
She melted. |
|
Oh, and you know how I came up |
|
with that little gem? |
|
I cared about her. |
|
(INHALES SHARPLY) Oh! |
|
(MIMICKING GUNSHOT) |
|
(BLOWS) |
|
Yeah. Thank you. |
|
I'm glad to see that staying up all |
|
night |
|
doesn't make you |
|
act like a complete idiot. |
|
(SCATTING MOCKINGLY) |
|
Now, go home and get some sleep. |
|
I don't want you waving that thing |
|
around during tomorrow's deposition. |
|
(CLEARING THROAT) |
|
Harvey. |
|
How's the pro bono going? |
|
Great! I just talked |
|
a witness into testifying. |
|
Really? |
|
What's the witness' name? |
|
I'm not an idiot. |
|
Don't treat me like one. |
|
You pawned off the case. |
|
Jessica, I've got higher |
|
profile cases. I... |
|
Need I remind you that when we first |
|
met, you were a screw-up? |
|
I gave you a shot at the mail room, |
|
led you up the ranks, |
|
and then paid for you |
|
to go to Harvard, |
|
where, by the way, you jerked off the |
|
entire time you were there. |
|
And I still hired you. |
|
And you've benefited |
|
from that ever since. |
|
Look, I closed |
|
the Dockery case, okay? |
|
You made |
|
a promise to me. |
|
You broke it, and then |
|
you lied to my face. |
|
So let me be clear. |
|
This isn't professional. |
|
This is personal. |
|
And I'll tell you |
|
something else, |
|
you made your bet, |
|
you better goddamn win. |
|
What the hell |
|
is wrong with you? |
|
I need the briefcase back. |
|
Oh, so that's what this |
|
has been about, huh? |
|
You don't care about |
|
our friendship at all. |
|
You're my oldest friend |
|
and you know it. |
|
But you don't seem to |
|
care about that anymore. |
|
And, yeah, I need |
|
the briefcase back. |
|
And I'm going |
|
to find it, Mike. |
|
Well, I ditched it when I was running |
|
away from the cops |
|
that you sent me into. |
|
Mike? |
|
Where are you going? |
|
To my cubicle. |
|
No. You're not. |
|
It's pee-in-a-cup time. |
|
I'm sorry. What? |
|
Drug test. Follow me. |
|
Uh, I'm just going to |
|
put my stuff back... |
|
Now. |
|
Oh, by the way, um, |
|
my cousin was your year at Harvard, |
|
and I asked him |
|
if he knew you. |
|
(LAUGHS) |
|
It's so funny. He didn't. |
|
- Well, what's his name? |
|
- Mitch Samberg. |
|
Yeah. Don't know him. |
|
It's a big school. |
|
Not really. |
|
We get 7,000 |
|
applications a year. |
|
You think you can just |
|
walk in and take a tour? |
|
Oh! Mitchell. |
|
With the slicked |
|
back hair? |
|
Graduated seventh |
|
in the class. |
|
Sure. Yeah. |
|
I remember him. |
|
Time to face the music. |
|
DONNA: Yeah. What's up? |
|
I've got to get to the Kendrick filing. |
|
Where the hell is Mike? |
|
I don't know. |
|
Leave the cup |
|
on the counter. |
|
Oh, you'll have to |
|
leave that out here. |
|
Why? |
|
If you take it |
|
in there with you, |
|
I have to check to make sure you don't |
|
have another urine sample. |
|
(LAUGHS) Oh, you... |
|
(SIGHS) |
|
- Where have you been? |
|
- Hi! Um... |
|
Getting drug |
|
tested, actually. |
|
The deposition |
|
is this afternoon. |
|
Before they get here, |
|
I want you to grill this woman about |
|
her background |
|
for anything they might use against her. |
|
You got it? |
|
- Got it. |
|
- Make her tell you everything. |
|
- Everything. |
|
- Everything. |
|
- Everything. |
|
- Okay. |
|
Okay. |
|
I'd been working six months when Mr. |
|
Hunt started asking me to work more. |
|
Order dinner. |
|
One night, late, |
|
he tried to have |
|
sex with me. |
|
The next day, I requested |
|
a change in assignment. |
|
Two months later, I was fired for having |
|
a bad attitude. |
|
This is ridiculous. |
|
Wipe that smirk |
|
off your face. |
|
You're not even |
|
supposed to be here. |
|
Mr. Hunt has every |
|
right to be here. |
|
Now, Ms. Webster, after working for |
|
Devlin McGreggor, |
|
you then went on to waitress |
|
at Hooters, right? |
|
Yes, I did. |
|
A place that advertises the sexuality |
|
of its wait-staff, correct? |
|
You'll have to |
|
ask them that. |
|
I'm asking you. |
|
And she's not answering. |
|
Move on. |
|
Ms. Webster, would you say that |
|
you're a truthful person? |
|
Yes. |
|
Yeah. So, when you said earlier that you |
|
had never been arrested for a crime, |
|
you were, uh, |
|
speaking the truth? |
|
- Yes. |
|
- Yes. |
|
So, in 1993, then, |
|
you were not arrested for stealing |
|
$1,000 worth of jewelry from the Willow |
|
Grove Mall in Pennsylvania. |
|
I was 17! |
|
That was one mistake. Those records were |
|
supposed to be sealed. |
|
So when you say those records were |
|
sealed, what you mean to say |
|
is you thought you could get |
|
away with a lie. |
|
No, that's not it. You're making it |
|
seem different than it is. |
|
I'm sorry. You were arrested in your |
|
past |
|
and you lied about it here under oath. |
|
Is that making it seem |
|
different than what it is? |
|
No answer. |
|
Hmm. All right. |
|
Um, let me ask you this, |
|
since you've lied here once, |
|
what's to make us believe you're not |
|
lying about Mr. Hunt? |
|
Well, thank you. |
|
How the hell did you |
|
miss that arrest? |
|
No. I did every |
|
background check we have. |
|
Did you grill her |
|
like I told you to? |
|
It was |
|
a sealed record, Harvey. |
|
God damn it, |
|
I knew it. Fix it. |
|
Joanna! Wait! Please! |
|
This is why I didn't |
|
want to testify. |
|
They twist something from a hundred |
|
years ago and make me look like a liar. |
|
They make it sound like what he did |
|
to me didn't happen. |
|
Look, it doesn't matter. |
|
All right? |
|
I need you to testify on Friday and |
|
keep this case alive. |
|
We don't have time to find anyone else |
|
before then. Would you please wait? |
|
No! I'm not waiting. You promised this |
|
wouldn't happen, and it did. |
|
You never told me |
|
you were arrested. |
|
Don't contact |
|
me again. Please? |
|
(ELEVATOR DINGS) |
|
What happened |
|
with the witness? |
|
Nothing. Nothing happened. |
|
I couldn't fix it. |
|
So you're going to quit? |
|
It's either that or have Louis Litt |
|
fire me. |
|
What are you |
|
talking about? |
|
My first day, Louis fired Gary Lipsky |
|
for screwing up a case. |
|
He said if I did the same thing, |
|
I'd be gone just as fast. |
|
Well, you go back |
|
to the witness' house |
|
and you get her |
|
to testify again. |
|
I tried. |
|
There's no way. |
|
There's always a way. |
|
Then why don't you go |
|
and convince her? |
|
Because you screwed it up. |
|
Oh, and you don't give a damn about |
|
the client. Right. |
|
That's not my job. |
|
Does your job include |
|
giving a damn about me? |
|
Because the least you could do is offer |
|
to stand up to Louis for me. |
|
Stand up for you? I put my ass on |
|
the line for you. |
|
But it turns out you may have had |
|
the balls to get this job, |
|
but you don't have the courage to stick |
|
it out when it gets tough. |
|
- That's not true. |
|
- Isn't it? |
|
You've had one foot out the door |
|
since you got here. |
|
What are you |
|
talking about? |
|
I'm talking about that briefcase being |
|
locked in your desk. |
|
Yeah, I saw it. |
|
And I know what it is. |
|
It's your backup plan |
|
in case this doesn't work out. |
|
You can make some quick cash and go |
|
right back to the life you told me |
|
you didn't |
|
want to lead. |
|
So, if you want |
|
to quit, go ahead. |
|
But this isn't because of Louis and it |
|
isn't because of me. |
|
It's because you're afraid you might |
|
have to admit |
|
that you're not as smart as you |
|
think you are. |
|
If you're here in the morning, I'll know |
|
I still have an associate. |
|
(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING) |
|
Hey, I get that you were upset that I |
|
was promoted before you, |
|
but if you ever threaten to fire one of |
|
my guys again, |
|
I am going to kick your ass. |
|
Hmm. What are you |
|
talking about? |
|
Don't play dumb |
|
with me, all right? |
|
You fired Gary Lipsky |
|
in front of Mike Ross. |
|
What's so funny? |
|
Gary Lipsky works |
|
in the mail room. |
|
What? |
|
I didn't fire anyone. |
|
That's how I let the new associates know |
|
what's expected of them. |
|
You plant a fake |
|
employee to manipulate the associ... |
|
That's it. |
|
What? |
|
Mike! |
|
I wanna quit. |
|
Come here. |
|
When your parents died, |
|
I lost my son, |
|
my daughter-in-law. |
|
I was scared, |
|
alone, and I was |
|
too old to raise you. |
|
But I had no choice, because who else |
|
was going to take care of my grandson? |
|
You made me |
|
a promise before. |
|
You're in the door. |
|
Promise me now the only way you'll leave |
|
is if they rip you out. |
|
You can save your breath. There's no way |
|
I'm testifying at the hearing tomorrow. |
|
That's not why I'm here. |
|
I know what you did. |
|
What are you |
|
talking about? |
|
You never worked |
|
for Devlin McGreggor. |
|
And you were never |
|
harassed by Mr. Hunt. |
|
- That's a lie. |
|
- Look, I could tell you |
|
that I've got |
|
the canceled checks |
|
or the wire transfer |
|
or whatever smoking gun that exists. |
|
I don't. But I will. And when I do, |
|
you'll be going to jail. |
|
Unless you tell me |
|
what happened, right now. |
|
I'm the guy you tell. |
|
All I had to do was waste your time |
|
until tomorrow after the hearing. |
|
Please. I just |
|
needed the money. |
|
I don't want to go to jail. |
|
Here's what |
|
you're going to do. |
|
What's with the attitude? |
|
That's just really, uh... |
|
- Mike! |
|
- Hey! |
|
I'm not giving this to |
|
you because you need it. |
|
I'm giving it to you |
|
because I don't. |
|
And I don't know if I'm ready to forgive |
|
you yet or not, |
|
but I do know we're even. |
|
Wait a second. |
|
I didn't... |
|
I don't... |
|
Don't. |
|
Now we're even. |
|
Huh. |
|
I see you came |
|
to work today. |
|
Nice suit. |
|
It was |
|
a barter transaction. |
|
I got six of them for |
|
one little briefcase. |
|
Listen, uh, |
|
I'm sorry and... |
|
Forget it. |
|
When I first started, Jessica rode me so |
|
hard, I quit once a month. |
|
I just told you what |
|
you needed to hear. |
|
That's just it. |
|
I've only ever had one person who told |
|
me what I needed to hear. |
|
(SIGHS) Maybe it's time |
|
I started trusting somebody else. |
|
Merry Christmas. |
|
Is this for real? |
|
You know what to do. |
|
Press until it hurts. |
|
MIKE: Wire transfer from your account |
|
to Joanna Webster's. |
|
Phone records with Joanna Webster prior |
|
to her testimony. |
|
And an affidavit stating you paid |
|
Ms. Webster to falsely testify. |
|
Mr. Hunt, harassment is |
|
a civil violation. |
|
The penalty is money. |
|
But witness tampering, that's a crime, |
|
and you will go to prison, |
|
where, I guarantee, |
|
you'll learn more about unwanted |
|
sexual advances than you can |
|
possibly imagine. |
|
Do you think this is |
|
going to intimidate me? |
|
Even if this evidence |
|
was credible, who are you going to get |
|
to prosecute a small-time witness |
|
tampering charge, huh? |
|
Harvey, didn't you |
|
graduate law school |
|
with the current |
|
U.S. Attorney in New York? |
|
In fact, I did. |
|
And I think he might even be interested |
|
in pursuing a case like this. |
|
Wait, are you |
|
two still close? |
|
Well, I was the best man |
|
at his wedding. |
|
Wow. |
|
No, you weren't. |
|
You're bluffing. |
|
No. I think I've got some pictures of us |
|
at the ceremony. |
|
Let's see. |
|
Yeah. Here we are. |
|
I must admit, |
|
I look very dashing. |
|
This is me and his mother. |
|
The woman adores me. |
|
Here we are at |
|
his bachelor party. |
|
There's no strippers. |
|
He's lame. |
|
But he can't put guys like you away |
|
for sexual harassment |
|
and then go to strip |
|
clubs now, can he? |
|
All right, |
|
what do you want? |
|
An admission of guilt |
|
and a guarantee that you'll obtain |
|
treatment before working again. |
|
And Nancy gets |
|
reinstated with back pay. |
|
Fine. |
|
- And a raise. |
|
- Okay. All right. Are we done? |
|
The kid should be able to grow up |
|
without the burden |
|
of tuition hanging over his head. |
|
Don't you think? |
|
Which is why you're also going to pay |
|
Nancy an extra $250,000. |
|
Charles. |
|
Gentlemen. |
|
(CHUCKLES) |
|
Thank you for everything. |
|
You're welcome. |
|
Not bad. |
|
Well done. |
|
Okay, so just one question. |
|
Why did you go to Joanna's house? |
|
Because I figured it out. |
|
I object. I think you |
|
did it because you care. |
|
I did it because |
|
it's my job. |
|
Would you admit it? |
|
You care about me. |
|
I saw you smile when I showed up |
|
for work this morning. |
|
I didn't smile. I was thinking |
|
of a funny joke. |
|
Look, we start |
|
on this tomorrow. |
|
Does this mean |
|
we're officially a team now? |
|
I wouldn't move your things into |
|
Wayne Manor just yet. |
|
So, now you're Batman. |
|
Closer to him |
|
than Clemenza. |
|
Oh, yeah. Kilmer. |
|
Clooney. |
|
Keaton. |
|
Did you really quit when you |
|
first started? |
|
Of course not. |
|
I'm not a wuss. |
|
