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.
