"Get it verified by the labs at Quantico." "All it's gonna prove is that Alyssa Lang had no legal capacity to sign." "It doesn't matter how old she was when she signed it." "It was ten years ago."

"You didn't tell us because you wanted to blindside us in court." "Hey, you're the one who turned out the lights out on Alyssa's business while I was extending an olive branch." "Bullshit again." "We both know that settlement offer was nothing but a distraction." "You want a distraction?" "That is a draft of Alyssa Lang's sexual harassment complaint against your client." "As far as our offer goes, it wasn't a distraction because we haven't filed that yet and our offer's still on the table." "I advise you to take it." "You didn't believe the sexual harassment allegation?" " Not a chance." " Why not?" "Well, for starters, it came out of Tanner's mouth." "And I know Tim Petroff, and he didn't cheat on his wife." "And you're angry at him for that?" "You're damn right I am!" "There are some things you just don't do." "Like lie?" "Like threaten to rip a man's family apart." "Hmm." "What?" "I just find it interesting that you talk about family as if it were sacred, yet you've never married." "You've never had a family of your own." "I don't see any macaroni paintings or school pictures in here either." "And my personal life is not the topic here." "So why don't we get back to what is?" "If it was such a good idea to pick a fight with Tanner, why were you so angry at him for doing exactly what you knew he would do?" "You're the doctor." "You tell me." "Okay, maybe because getting angry at someone is a way to avoid facing what's going on with yourself." "[elevator bell rings]" "Oh, good, you're back." "Can't be good if you're out here." "Oh, I didn't want you to get ambushed." "There's a" "Tim Petroff of BetaSoft in my office." "He's been wearing out your carpet for half an hour." "Tanner must have sent him a copy of the complaint."

"It hasn't been filed yet." "And that's supposed to make me feel better?" "It's a goddamn lie." "I have never done anything remotely resembling harassing anyone." " Tim, calm down." " I'm not going to calm down." "This is a complete twisting of who I am." "I want this woman destroyed." "It's not her." "It's her lawyer." "I don't care who it is." "I have a wife and children, and I want this thing gone." "Then you should know there's a settlement on the table." "Mike!" "Not now." "What settlement?" "A 15% stake in her venture." "Are you out of your mind?" "You think I'm gonna settle with these people based on blackmail?" "No one's settling." "Yeah, you're damn right no one's settling." "Now earn your money and blow this woman out of the water." "You heard him." "Figure out a way to put the screws to her once and for all." "Harvey." "And I don't want to hear any shit about my state of mind." "I'm not gonna say anything about that, but what I will say is that if Tanner's willing to make her do this, what's to say he's not willing to make her do something worse?" "What do you want to do, Mike?" "You want to back down?" "No, I want to get Tanner fired." "It's not legal for us to talk to her." "There's no law against me running into her by accident."

"If Jack thinks I signed Dellmore, and I tell him I'll give him a piece, he'll know it's worth a fortune to him and he'll overturn the vote." "And what are you gonna do when he finds out the whole thing was a lie?" "He won't." "I'll make up some sob story about how Dellmore made up with his wife and we'll live to fight another day." "He's never gonna believe that." "Rachel, Katrina would have been on board with this from day one." "Okay, Louis, I'm sorry." "I am not trying to rain on your parade, but when Jack finds out, he's going to hate you forever." "Well, I made a promise to Harvey."

"It's got everything to do with why we're here, because I knew that you would never believe that I could close Dellmore." "You're right." "If I hadn't seen it myself, I never would have believed it." "And why is that?" "Because I'm a grinder?" "Here's the thing, Jack."

"And when I win, and you're out of money, you're gonna tell me the truth." "And what do I get when you're out of money?" "It doesn't matter 'cause it's never gonna happen." " Hey." " Hey." "I need to talk to you about something." "What's going on?" "I just got a call from Travis Tanner." "He wants me to meet him in half an hour." "Well, you have to tell Harvey." "I left him two messages." "He hasn't gotten back to me, but even if he does, he's gonna tell me not to go." "Well, then don't go." "You can't go behind Harvey's back." "That's the thing." "What if going to see Tanner is more like having Harvey's back?" "What are you talking about?" "The client on the other side of our case made a fake ID ten years ago and now Harvey's ready to send her to prison for it, and he's only doing it because of Tanner." "Okay, but it's still Harvey's call." "And if he makes that call in his current state of mind, he might regret it for the rest of his life." "What do you mean, his current state of mind?" "A couple of weeks ago, I walked into Harvey's office and he was having a panic attack." "Oh, my God." "And on top of that, yesterday, the two of them got into a yelling match that ended with Harvey punching Tanner." "Okay, look." "Do whatever you have to do." "Have Harvey's back." "Where is he?" " I don't know." " Bullshit, you don't know." "Jessica, I swear I haven't seen him since last night." "Then I need to know, did he lie to me?" "Donna..." "I've always trusted you." "Now I need you to trust me." "Did he do some underhanded shit to fool Jack and it backfired?" "Yes." "That's exactly what he did." "Then find him." "And tell him to come see me." "What can I say?" "Kings full of 6s." "[scoffs]" "All right, Harvey, you won." "What do you want?" "Can't I take a minute to enjoy my win?" "You can." "But once our time's up, I'm done granting wishes." "Well, in that case, I want you to tell me the worst mistake you ever made as a therapist." "That wasn't part of the deal." "No, no, no, no." "You didn't make a deal with me because you were so sure you were gonna beat me." "Well, you didn't, and it's time to pay the piper." "Well, I'm not going to do it." "Look who's deflecting now." "Look, I get it, okay?" "You're here because your fears are affecting your work, and now you're trying to find a time where I failed at my job so that you can lash out at me." "And I'm not gonna let you do it." "No, I just want you to know what it feels like to be me in here with you, and if you're not willing to do that, then what the hell good are you?" "I killed someone." "What?" "I do a lot of work as an expert witness in corporate competency situations." " You mean substance abuse?" " Yes." "And usually it's high-powered people looking to keep their jobs." "But this time it was different." "A client needed someone to get his son out of rehab so that he could attend his mother's funeral." "I knew it was a mistake to even get involved because he wanted it so badly, but he was a long-time client and I cared about him, so I did it." "I evaluated his son." "And I knew--I knew deep down inside he wasn't ready, but I gave the go-ahead anyway, and the night of the funeral, he overdosed and died." " I'm so sorry." " Hmm." "Well, I don't want you to be sorry." "I want you to sit your ass down and tell me the truth about the dream." "I told you before." "I'm telling you the truth." "I don't know who this woman was." "You know what, I just opened myself up to you to show you that I know what it's like to be you, but I don't." "Because I know that the only way to come to terms with what's inside is to let it out."

"And what makes you think we're going to accept the same deal that you brought us before?" "Because I've sat across from you, and I know that you care about more than just the fight." "Well, I'm sorry, but that fight's gonna end with Alyssa Lang going to prison." "Yeah, but it doesn't have to." "And the only reason it's gonna end that way is because that deal is coming from me." "How the hell am I supposed to believe a word you say?" "What do you want me to say, huh?" "That I got tired of playing the goon?" "Because I did."
