"You lose, we don't merge." "You win, you get what you want." "You lose, you stay, you extend your non-compete, and you get a chance to earn your name on the door." "Because it's not going up there now." "There's no room for both of us." "Unless we made room for each other." "I put him on the list and I handed it in." "He didn't put you on his list." " I won't." " You will." "Harvey will never forgive me." "This is a letter to the District Attorney saying that you are breaking the law." "You file your motion." "I'll file mine." "You weren't there." "I didn't have to be." "Jessica..." "You don't work for Jessica." "You work for me." "You're fired." "No." "He's not." "You could have just told me that you didn't love me instead of selling me out." "I didn't sell you out, Scottie." "I just got fired." "Whatever she did, you wouldn't have this merger without her." "Would you have her work here or in London?" "You're going to stay here, be humble, and learn your goddamn place." "I never went to Harvard." "What?" "I'm a fraud." "I hope you Make it all right" "I hope you Make it all right" "Make your mind up." "Get right up" "And march to the mouth Of a meaningless life" "I hope you Make it all right" "I hope you Make it all right..." "Hey." "I got your message." "What's going on?" "Partners meeting." "Essential personnel only." "In the middle of the night?" "You afraid of the dark?" "I wouldn't be if I had my Cookie Monster with me." "Well, then, go get him, because we're finalizing the terms of the merger." "We?" "We." "So, I'm a partner now?" "Easy, Marcia Clark." "Jessica and I discussed it." "You're responsible for making this merger happen." "You deserve to be here." "So, Jessica and you talked?" "You forgave her?" "She won, I lost." "Nothing to forgive." "And me?" "You did what you had to do." "You have no idea how much I needed to hear that." "The merger is complete." "And we would like to assure everyone that the new Darby Pearson will be stronger, better connected..." "And most importantly, based on a foundation that is..." "Full of shit." "What the hell is going on?" "I told her." "Told her what?" "That Mike Ross is a fraud." "And I am not going to let him get away with it." "How could you do this?" "You did this to yourself." "How long are you going to keep staring at that offer?" "Until one of us blinks." "Deron signed it." "You said it was great." "I'm not interested in great." "I want it to know who its daddy is." "What is it, Donna?" "It's Sunday night." "Darby needs an answer." "London." "Send her to London." "Do you want to talk about it?" "Have Ray meet me downstairs." "And where should I say you're going?" "Brooklyn." "I hope you Make it all right" "I hope you Make it all right..." "I did not expect the great Harvey Specter to come all the way to Brooklyn just to deliver a contract." "That's good." "Because I came for the hot dogs." "I told you that was our final offer." "You did." "But the third quarter's about to end." "And if you want Deron Williams playing for you in the fourth..." "This is his number." "Even if you had another offer, which you don't, he can't leave in the middle of a game." "I was talking about the fourth quarter of game seven when you're looking to lock up a championship." "Because the question isn't do you want Deron or not." "It's do you want a ring or not." "You've got nothing." "And I told you that's my final offer." "I guess I'll just have to go bring Deron his new Mavs jersey then." "There's no way Mark Cuban pays that much." "Why don't you call and ask?" "Oh, wait, you can't." "Because he hates you." "Bullshit." "We may not be blood brothers, but he doesn't hate me." "Oh, he does now." "Evidently, he found out about that thing from last May." "How do you know that?" "Because I was there when I told him." "You have until 10 am, then I'm calling Dallas." "And Mark may not take your call, but he'll sure as hell take mine." "How do I know you're not going to turn around and get him to pay more?" "You don't." "But if you don't match this, you'll never find out." "My friends say It's just a matter Of time..." "Before you're leaving" "Before you're Leaving me behind" "I know you speak Just like a slippery stone But guess what..." "Jessica." "Harvey." "I don't recall giving you my key." "I don't recall authorizing you to negotiate behind Deron Williams' back." "His back is just fine." "And I'm standing right behind it." "Then, why is the contract he signed in my hand?" "How much did you ask for?" "Triple." "Are you out of your mind?" "We have leverage." "And what is that?" "It's complicated." "Simplify it for me." "I bluffed him." "That's not leverage." "It is if he believes it." "And if it fails, he fires us and takes ten other players with him." "Then, it better not fail." "You asked the man for triple." "If I had what I said I had, that's what I'd get." "I don't ask for triple, he knows I'm bluffing." "Then, don't bluff in the first place." "I'm afraid that's what I do." "You know what I think?" "I think you want it to fail." "I think you're stuck with a merger you don't want and a non-compete you can't stand, and you're trying to get me to fire you." "I could bust that non-compete wide open." "But you gave me your word." "Which is why I'm staying." "Jessica, I've always operated this way." "It's what you hired me for, it's what you pay me for," "And it used to be what you valued me for." "I'm not going to fire you." "Neither is Deron Williams." "The Nets just caved." "So, unless you're looking to cook me breakfast tomorrow," "I'd say we're done." "My friends say It's just a matter of time..." "Before you're leaving Before you're leaving me behind" "I told you I needed time." "I know." "But it's been two days, and I can't take it anymore." "I had to see you." "I don't want any comments about how messy the place is." "Okay." "And what would clean look like?" "Don't even think about it." "I can't not think about it." "All right?" "It's all I've been able to think about for two days." "Mike, why are you here?" "Because that's not going to happen." "Now?" "Or ever?" "You lied to me about everything." "Rachel..." "Do you remember when I told you I needed time?" "That's what I needed it for." "To process this bomb that you dropped on me..." "I had a nightmare." "You asked why I'm here." "That's why." "You exposed me to the entire firm." "I would never do that." "I know." "And I woke up, and I realized that the real nightmare wouldn't even be that." "The real nightmare would be..." "Would be if you didn't want to be with me." "Do you really mean that?" "I meant it the first time I ever saw you." "Rachel." "I know that I'm not who you want me to be but you know what happened in that room." "You know what we both felt." "I..." "I don't want to lose that." "I just keep wishing you'd never told me." "But then, it never would have happened." "And it did." "And I'm..." "I'm really glad that it did." "I am, too." "But what happens if you get caught?" "Because what you had may have been a nightmare, Mike, but you can't tell me you're not afraid of being exposed." "Of course I am." "But there's nothing that I can do about it." "Well, maybe there is." "What are you saying?" "Quit." "Go in tomorrow and just quit." "See the money, wanna stay for your meal" "Get another piece of pie for your wife" "Everybody wanna know how it feel" "Everybody wanna see what it's like" "I'll even eat a bean pie I don't mind" "Me and Missy is so early" "Busy, busy making money" "All right!" "All step back I'm 'bout to dance" "The greenback boogie" "Falling for a guy" "Fell down from the sky" "Halo round his head" "Feathers in our bed In our bed" "In our bed" "Falling for a guy" "Fell down from the sky" "Halo round his head" "Feathers in our bed" "In our bed" "In our bed" "It's sacrilege, sacrilege Sacrilege, you say" "It's sacrilege, sacrilege Sacrilege, you say" "It's sacrilege, sacrilege Sacrilege, you say" "It's sacrilege, sacrilege Sacrilege, you say" "I need to talk to you." "You want to talk about how things played out." "But the place to do that is somewhere more private." "You didn't just come through on the merger." "You bluffed Hardman, turned Monica Eton and put us over the top on Folsom Foods." "That's a lot of coming through in the clutch." "And I wouldn't have saved your ass if I didn't think you deserved to be here." "I don't know what to say." "Well, the usual response is "Thank you"." "The usual road to getting here doesn't involve stabbing someone in the back." "Doesn't it?" "When I was 16," "I came home, my mother sat me down, and said my parents were separating." "Trial basis." "But the good news was, she was going to get me a car to help with my sister." "All my friends talked about how lucky I was to have it." "I hated that car." "Every time I got in it, I..." "Well, it just reminded me." "Why are you telling me this?" "Because five years later, that same car got me to Harvard, which led me here." "So, you can think of this office as a reminder of what you did to Harvey..." "Or as a symbol of what you can accomplish at the firm." "Now." "Do you still have something to say?" "No." "No, I don't." "They ever get back together?" "No." "No, they didn't." "Oh, God!" "Damn it!" "Louis, what happened?" "Oh." "I'll tell you what happened." "This stupid merger." "It's bad enough my vote is worth a third of what it was last week." "Now, our Uniballs?" "Gone." "Our..." "What?" "Pens, Donna." "The new Quartermaster, Barbara L. Tottingham, will not buy us any more Uniballs." "There's not one single Uniball in this entire firm." "Please stop saying Uniball." "No, I will not." "I'm stuck with these stupid plastic things that keep breaking." "So, buy your own pen." "Buy..." "Okay." "There are two things in this firm that I hold very sacred." "My Uniballs..." "Mmm." "And my raspberry bran bars." "And if I have to go out and buy them myself." "Well, then, this Barbara L. Tottingham has a message for me loud and clear." "And that's "Louis Litt, go screw yourself."" "Louis." "The ink on your face." "You've got just, like." "You've got, like, a little bit right there." "Where?" "Here?" "No, I think you've got to give it, like, a good..." "Okay, fine." "Gone?" "Thank you, Donna." "You're a true friend." "I got your back." "Hey, do you remember when you used to do those rotator cuff exercises?" "Oh, yeah." "What, are you kidding me?" "Of course." "Every day for, like, 18 months." "Why do you ask?" "No reason." "Edward." "Jessica, how lovely to see you." "I wanted to thank you." "Ah!" "You saw the sign." "Mmm-hmm." "You didn't have to do that." "Our agreement stipulates Darby Pearson." "Not Pearson Darby." "Our agreement also stipulates a 51-49% structure." "And this is your way of showing me that you think of it as 50-50." "Merely a gesture." "Ah." "Heck of a gesture." "How would you propose to a woman?" "A woman?" "I think we both know that I..." "Yes." "We do." "Anyway, it is shaping up to be a lovely day." "Well, I wish I could say the same." "I assume you know about the latest goings on with Hessington Oil?" "I wouldn't be much of a partner if I didn't." "Well, now, they have decided to take on Ava Hessington personally." "Who is "They"?" "The U.S. Government." "I've decided to let Harvey handle it." "Why?" "Why not?" "It's not a good time." "He's still digesting the merger." "Meaning?" "He's acting out." "Well, he may be acting out, but I understand he's just got his client triple the money." "By taking a huge risk he didn't have to." "This case, he may have to." "So, that's why Harvey." "And this case is more important to me than just money." "And why is that?" "Because it is." "What if I said no?" "I'm afraid that's not an option." "So, I guess that sign really doesn't mean 50-50 after all." "Well, I did say it was merely a gesture." "Mmm." "You keep showing up to surprise me, people are going to get the wrong idea." "People are going to think what they're going to think." "I'm here to bury the hatchet." "And what prompted that?" "Darby found out what you did with Deron Williams." "Don't tell me." "He was impressed." "He was pissed." "He thinks you're trying to get fired." "And you told him how smart he was." "I told him you said it wasn't true and that I believed you." "And then, I fought to give you a chance to prove it." "Ava Hessington." "I got you on it." "What does that matter to me?" "Harvey, I know you and I have had our problems." "But this is a chance for us to move past it." "Let's take it." "You really do want to make up." "I never wanted to be at odds in the first place." "Neither did I." "Are we good?" "Don't you want to tell me I better win this goddamn case?" "I didn't think I had to." "Never stopped you from saying it before." "Well, I'm learning to let go." "Oh, Harvey, there is one more thing." "You better win this goddamn case." "I know it's not my place, but you really suck at quitting." "I can explain." "No need." "It was just a suggestion." "Rachel, I tried to do it, but..." "But then, Jessica gave you this office to stay." "Actually, she gave me this office before I could even bring it up." "Well, aren't you just the luckiest person in the world." "Rachel." "You came to me." "You were petrified of being exposed." "And I gave you a way out." "And now, 12 hours later, you're in a brand new office with a diploma on the wall that, for all I know, came from Kinko's." "What do you want me to do?" "Everyone hangs one." "No, Mike." "Everyone doesn't just hang one." "So, that's what this is really about." "You're damn right it is." "I have been trying to earn one for as long as I can remember." "And you have one and everything that goes with it, and you didn't do a single thing to deserve it." "You have no idea what I have or haven't done to get where I am." "And that's the whole problem." "I have no idea who you are." "Harvey." "I'm just in the middle of a little afternoon crossword." "Are you a puzzler?" "Don't you have work to do?" "My dear fellow, if I have to do work, then I'm not doing my job." "What can I do for you?" "Jessica told me that you agreed to let me be lead on Ava Hessington." "I wanted to thank you." "You're welcome." "There's just one problem." "You didn't agree to anything." "You demanded it." "And you let Jessica play good cop because you didn't want to undermine the chain of command." "That's quite the conspiracy theory." "Well, here's the good news." "My plate's a little full right now." "And since you didn't want me on this case in the first place, why don't you let somebody else handle it?" "Good luck." "I hear it's a tough one." "What do you want?" "I want out." "I win this, you tear up my non-compete and you fire me." "You hate this merger that much." "I had an agreement with Jessica and I honored it." "Then, she accused me of trying to get fired." "Then, she lied to me by claiming that she fought for me to be on this case." "She really does want to make up with you, you know." "Funny way of showing it." "Ironic." "Her belief that you wanted to be fired led you to wanting to be fired." "Do we have a deal or not?" "It appears we do." "Oh." "Hey, uh..." "Go ahead." "No, it's alright." "You were here first." "Why are you being so polite?" "Come on." "You have one stupid copy." "You could have finished it already." "I'll do it for you." "Louis, I..." "Why?" "It's complicated." "Well, simplify it for me, Mike." "Harvey..." "He's the one who hired me, and now, he wants nothing to do with me." "What are you talking about?" "He just gave you a new office." "No." "Jessica gave me a new office." "If it was up to Harvey, I wouldn't even have a cubicle." "What happened?" "All that matters is that, uh, I can't fix it." "You know, when we were in the bullpen, Harvey was like Superman." "And then, one day, Hardman decided to just knock him down a peg." "Gave him this bullshit assignment." "Undoable workload, unwinnable case." "And I took it as a chance to break down his walls and offer my help." "And I just thought this just might be that chance that we could become..." "Friends." "Yeah." "And he looked at me." "How dare I." "I get it." "He's alone." "He always has been." "He always will be." "Always was." "Harvey is not Superman anymore." "He's Batman." "And Batman needs Robin." "And I just need to remind him of that." "What's the one thing that Harvey values over everything else?" "Winning." "Yeah." "You help him win." "He'll remember why he needs you." "I have to figure out what cases he's working on." "The IT department has access to every computer in the entire firm." "Syncs up every night." "So, all I have to do is get access to Harvey's hard drive." "That place is a fortress." "Benjamin." "It's you." "Oh, that's sweet." "You remember me." "Oh, yes." "I remember everyone who's ever bamboozled me into giving them a top of the line laptop." "Their names are Michael Ross..." "I didn't bamboozle you, Benjamin." "I won it fair and square." "And I've been tracking every internet move you've made for the past 10 months." "Waiting for the slip-up." "Bet you thought you had me at teenybikini." "Com." "No." "No, no." "Because I cross referenced that with your workplace harassment case, and I knew." "But don't think I'm not aware that you went home for dinner and used your personal computer to go back there." "Okay." "That's not actionable but hacking my personal computer is..." "Good luck proving that." "Now, what do you want?" "I want access to a hard drive." "No way." "Not only that." "I want you to give me what ever I want, whenever I want it, for the rest of your life." "And why would I do that?" "Oh, right." "Because I just recorded you admitting to violating the law." "The XJS 5000." "Mmm-hmm." "You set me up." "Yep." "You knew that I would track your home computer." "And after you've been convicted, you'll be lucky to be hired as a network administrator at a high school, in Jersey." "How long are you going to keep at this?" "Until I find out what I just got myself into." "I mean, look at this stack of papers." "It's one-fifth of the files we have on Ava Hessington." "You need a shortcut." "Well, I'm not going to Mike." "I'm not talking about him." "Ava Hessington started in the London office." "It's too late." "No, it's not." "You've got to be kidding me." "How did you get through security?" "Charm and this smile." "You bought a ticket, didn't you?" "Trinidad-Tobago." "First class." "You're not even going." "I prefer to not travel in style." "I would prefer to be alone right now." "Scottie." "I need your help." "I'm sorry." "I have a plane to catch." "A plane, by the way, that you put me on." "After I saved your job." "Which you accepted." "So, now, we're both working for the same firm." "Well, I guess, now, I'm just one of the many partners who gets to work with you, and yet, wants nothing to do with you." "Scottie." "Please." "You once helped me without me asking." "Well, now, I'm asking." "Then, tell me something." "Something what?" "Just..." "Something." "I remember the first time I ever saw you." "Con law?" "You threw me some line and I gave you shit about your hair." "No." "It was two weeks before that, outside Langdell." "You were wearing a blue dress." "The wind was blowing." "When I saw your face, it stopped me dead in my tracks." "That's not enough." "Well, I'm not finished." "The next time I saw you was Con law." "You answered the first question that Dyson asked, and I knew that, that face that blew me away was your second best asset." "Look, you mean something to me." "You've always meant something to me and you always will mean something to me." "You're such a dick." "What do you need, Harvey?" "Ava Hessington." "Well, this is going to take a while." "So, you're going to buy me a drink and I'm going to take that ticket to Trinidad-Tobago." "Okay, Norma, it's been 24 hours." "If you can't get me Barbara L. Tottingham on the phone, well, then, guess what." "You don't get..." "Oh." "It's you." "Well, you tell Norma if I don't have a package of Uniballs on my desk by noon, she can kiss her trip to Dollywood goodbye." "Now, why don't you get the hell out of here so I can fix myself a raspberry bran bar in peace." "What are you looking at?" "Looking for this?" "It's the last one." "Not today." "You're Barbara L. Tottingham." "I hardly made it difficult to figure out." "Barbara L. Tottingham." "B.L.T. Which is a sandwich." "And what does one put on a B.L.T?" "Mayonnaise, invented by the French." "Which points directly to another French sandwich." "Of course, the Monte Cristo." "As in The Count of Monte Cristo." "How did I not see that?" "It was staring me right in the face." "Indeed, it was." "The Count returned from the dead, as I am now returned from the banishment to which you sentenced me." "As Quartermaster." "I would ask you how you did it, but I know you wouldn't tell me because I wouldn't tell you." "What I will tell you is that during my time in the wilderness." "It was three days." "And nights." "I endeavored to discover what perquisites you value most in this firm." "Your beloved bran bars." "You're never going to have them." "I can buy them myself." "Even if you were willing to buy them yourself, which we both know you aren't, you'll never eat them on Pearson Darby grounds." "You didn't." "I did." "They're banned." "Wait a second." "You're telling me that Barbara L. Tottingham is Nigel?" "Stay with me." "B.L.T., mayonnaise, Monte Cristo sandwich." "Oh, my God, I'm so hungry." "Donna." "What?" "What do you want from me, Louis?" "I'm busy." "So, you can't have your pens or your bran bars." "Big deal." "Donna, listen." "When I was in ninth grade, there was this wrestler, Randy Cusumano." "And one day after school in the locker room, he pinned me down and he taped my butt cheeks together." "Wait a second." "Is this the story from The Breakfast Club?" "I'm not familiar with that song." "Never mind." "Look." "I swore that I would get him back, no matter what it took." "What did it take?" "Uh, you don't really want to know." "Thank you." "The point is, if I'm Nigel and Nigel's me, he's not going to stop at bran bars and pens." "I've got to take care of Nigel once and for all." "You need to get rid of him as Quartermaster." "Miss Hessington." "First of all, I want you to familiarize yourself with this man." "U.S. Attorney, Richard Jensen." "He's one of the best there is, and he's who we'll be going up against." "Well, that's all well and good, Mr. Specter, but I have one question." "Why should I hire you?" "Because you trust Edward Darby." "I'm afraid that only gets you in the room." "This civil servant seems to have a personal vendetta against me, and I don't even know why." "Well, I do." "He needs a head on a platter." "Why mine?" "You've been skirting environmental laws for a decade." "He's got a chance to nail you, and he's going to take it." "This isn't an environmental allegation." "No, it's a bribery charge." "It's got teeth." "It's coming your way." "Don't sugar coat it, Mr. Specter." "Give it to me straight." "Okay, I will." "Because when he digs a little deeper, he's going to find evidence of the spill your company covered up in 2008, the whistle blower you bought off in 2010, and the environmental impact study you doctored in 2006." "So, it's not going to be hard to convince a jury that you're guilty of bribing a foreign government to get your pipeline." "And what are you going to do to stop him?" "Bury evidence, contact witnesses, or sleep with your rival pitcher's girlfriend the night before the big game?" "The heart wants what the heart wants." "I got it." "I looked into you." "You looked into me." "I actually prefer it that way." "And why is that?" "Because you know what I'll do to win." "Saves me the trouble of explaining it to you." "And I won't have to explain to you what I did to win that pipeline." "You bribed them." "Guilty as charged." "And I don't care what Richard Jensen says." "Every company with a pipeline over there did the same thing." "Is that your defense?" "It's the truth." "It would be nice if we only found oil under Texas ranchers or north sea fishermen." "But in the real world, we find it in nasty places under nasty people." "And any executive worth a damn does what's needed or goes out of business." "Good." "We're done." "Excuse me?" "I just needed to know what I was dealing with before I make my next move." "And what is that?" "I'll let you know." "I haven't officially hired you yet." "Yes, you have." "How long you been waiting here?" "Since I found out what you need." "What I need is for you to leave me alone." "No, what you need is information on Ava Hessington." "Look." "In 2008, her company tried to destroy evidence of..." "An oil spill?" "Okay." "Well, in 2010..." "They bought off a whistle blower." "And if the next thing you're going to tell me is about an environmental impact study in 2006, don't." "You think you're not replaceable?" "I got all that from an associate I picked at random." "I've been doing this before I met you, and I'll be doing it long after I've forgotten all about you." "You had enough?" "No, you know what?" "I haven't." "Because you haven't." "Excuse me?" "You haven't said whatever you have to say to rip me to shreds enough so that you can start to forgive me." "So, go ahead." "Whatever it takes." "I can take it." "Go." "Harvey, I am sorry." "All right?" "But I need you to listen to me now." "Listen to you?" "You know when I would have listened to you?" "That night." "Jessica threatened me." "I don't care." "Anyone comes at you with any threat at all, you come to me." "I don't give a shit if it's the Queen of England." "You come to me." "You tell me." "You tell me everything." "That's what goddamn loyalty is." "Okay." "You're right." "You don't know who I am or what I've done to deserve anything." "So, here's what's going to happen." "I am going to tell you." "I am going to tell you everything." "And when we're done, either we're going to be finished or we're going to go back there and we're going to do exactly what we should have done the other night." "Okay." "Okay." "One more time." "I'm going to show you." "Are you ready?" "Yes." "Are you sure?" "Okay." "Mm-hmm." "So, I was here." "Mm-hmm." "Yeah?" "And I was running down here." "And the cops, they were back here." "So, I am running." "Let's see." "Where is it?" "Oh, yeah, it's here." "And I run into here." "And then, Donna, she was right here." "Okay." "So, she let me in here." "And then, Harvey, he was right..." "No." "What?" "Harvey is not getting anywhere near there." "Oh, no one is ever getting anywhere near there." "Oh, you think you're that good, do you?" "It's one of my many gifts." "Being that good or thinking you're that good?" "Do you want a replay?" "Because I will go right now." "Like you could." "I could." "Soon-ish." "Do you have, like, an energy drink or something..." "Oh." "What?" "Come on." "We were up all night." "You kept me up all night." "You kept me up all night." "I can't tell you how it feels." "That you know." "Mmm." "Well." "Who knew that honesty was the best policy?" "Oh, wait." "Everyone knew that." "I'm going down." "Can I help you?" "Louis Litt." "Oh, I know who you are." "Freshly minted Senior Partner, expert in matters of corporate finance, and the man responsible for the superb training of the associates." "You've looked into me." "Mmm-hmm." "I've looked into you." "Tarte au chocolat, from Cafe Pouchkine." "The best patisserie in Paris." "A steeping cup of DA Hong Pao." "The most expensive tea in the world." "Two of my favorite things." "What better to enjoy after signing this order making me Quartermaster?" "Pity you don't have a Montblanc pen for me to sign it with." "With cobalt ink." "We already have a Quartermaster." "Sir, I know that this is Nigel's position, and him losing it would not be easy for him." "But let me just assure you." "I'm not just prepared for this position." "I was born for it." "I have Ph.D.'s in chemical engineering and petroleum exploration." "I've made it to the top in a field dominated by men, and I'm facing a prison sentence for an allegation which any man in my position would be fined for." "Every similar case has been settled with a fine, not prison." "That's what we're proposing." "There's just one problem." "I'm not charging you because you're a woman." "I'm charging you because you're the one I caught." "Ava, can you give us a minute?" "Okay." "She's going to write you a check." "Let's talk about how much." "I'm sorry, Harvey." "Not this time." "Is that what I said to you on Hazelton?" "That was a long time ago." "We're not at the DA's office anymore." "I didn't realize our bond had an expiration date." "It doesn't but..." "But you want to deal on this, I need jail time." "You're running for office?" "What if I am?" "You need a scalp." "I can think of four people off the top of my head that make her look like Mother Theresa." "Harvey, I can't afford to horse trade on this." "You've done it before." "And I'll do it again." "But not today." "Richard, you are singling out this woman and it's wrong." "That's not my problem." "What if I told you I need this one?" "Then, I'd have to tell you," "I'm sorry." "I'm not going to forget this." "Harvey, look." "If our bond can't survive me telling you no, then it didn't mean much to begin with." "Hey, Rach." "No time." "Code two." "Richard Gere's in the lobby?" "Leaving now." "Let's go." "Relax." "We have trained for this." "Okay." "Wait." "Congratulations." "Your writing implements and nourishment of choice." "Mmm." "Yeah, I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not." "Please don't do this." "No, no, no, no, no." "You're not going to trick me into letting you stay Quartermaster just so you can take away what's most dear to me little by little." "Then, I'm afraid I'm going to have to take it away all at once." "What are you talking about?" "I took you for a bylaws man." "It seems I was wrong." "At Darby International, one cannot be in charge of both the animate and the inanimate at the same time." "Your beloved associates are mine." "You set me up." "What better way to catch a rat than with Quartermaster cheese?" "What are you going to do?" "Beg Darby to undo what you just begged him to do?" "Hold on." "Nigel, the associates are my life." "So, please don't do this." "When I was at preparatory school, like you, I was bullied again and again." "It was painful, but I always saw them coming." "But with you, I didn't." "So, it wasn't a stab in the back." "It was a stab in the heart." "And I gave you the opportunity to take it back, and you passed." "So, no, Quartermaster Litt, I won't forgive you." "Nice office." "Thanks." "Do you mind if I ask you a favor?" "Yeah, anything." "I have a ton of old files that I need organized and shipped to storage, and I was wondering if you could maybe do that for me." "I..." "Because I figured if you were suddenly doing things for people that they don't need you to do, didn't ask you to do, and don't want you to do, then, maybe I'd get in on that." "I put that on Harvey's desk for him." "Not you." "Maybe." "But I know what you don't seem to get." "Harvey didn't value you for your help on cases." "He valued you for your loyalty." "Which he told you last night." "Yeah." "I know that." "And I'm trying to get it back." "And this is the only way I know how." "By sending Rachel to distract me and sneaking into his office?" "Oh, by the way." "You think I don't know about you two?" "Took me one look." "Donna, come on." "You want to know how to get Harvey's loyalty back?" "Get in a time machine and undo what you did with Jessica." "Oh, shoot, you can't do that." "You know what?" "I figured you'd bring this file back." "There's also one in your bottom drawer." "You might want to grab that, too." "And just in case of that, I put seven other copies in his office." "Because whether he forgives me or not, he's still going to need it." "Some random associate gave him all that information on Ava Hessington?" "No way." "It was Scottie." "Yeah." "I found the ticket to Trinidad-Tobago." "It's not a giant leap." "The only problem is, Scottie's not here." "She's in London." "And Harvey?" "He is still going to need this." "This file doesn't lead to Harvey forgiving you." "Donna." "Please, could you just separate our relationship from yours and his for just one second?" "Are you kidding me?" "Do you think I'm mad just because of him?" "You did this to me, too." "And whether you appreciate it or not," "I have had your back since the day that you got here." "Yes." "Yes, you have." "But what about last year?" "When I had your back, you ignored me, and it almost cost him his license." "The difference is I did what I did for him, not for me." "And I didn't get a brand new office for it." "I got fired." "Yum." "What?" "What do you want, Michael?" "Please?" "I'm just trying to eat my Egg McMuffin while I'm still off-line." "Okay?" "I thought you were never off-line." "Five minutes a day." "Listen, Benjamin." "I don't want to hold what's on this Dictaphone over you for the rest of your life." "Why not?" "I don't need any more enemies." "I'd rather have a friend." "But I do need a favor." "If I don't give it to you, then what do you do with the Dictaphone?" "That's the only copy there is." "Go on." "Erase it." "Then, I'll ask you my favor." "How do I know that this is the only copy?" "Because I'm giving you my word." "What do you need?" "I need you to build me a time machine." "And a bite of the sandwich." "Come on." "That's not sanitary, Michael." "Come on." "Just a little." "You can have the rest." "How did it go with Richard?" "It didn't." "He didn't budge." "Why not?" "Says he's running for office." "But it doesn't make sense." "Yeah, it does." "Son of a bitch." "He looks me in the eye and he feeds me a bullshit sandwich." "Well, he's obviously not the same man he used to be." "Yeah, well, I am." "Wait a second." "Let me guess." "Mike?" "Just because you use it, doesn't mean you have to forgive him." "You're right." "I know." "Harvey." "What are you doing here?" "Hessington Oil's number one competitor also happens to be your biggest campaign contributor?" "Which has nothing to do with the fact that your client broke the law." "You don't want a deal." "What you want is a long, drawn out trial that puts our stock in the toilet." "You think I wasn't going to find that out?" "I mean, I've got to hand it to you." "You set it up perfectly to shield yourself from prosecution." "To shield myself from breaking the law." "Richard Jensen." "Prosecuting the competition." "Hell of a campaign slogan." "Harvey, your client did this." "I'm not going after an innocent person." "And you know that if I win this election, I will do good things." "You know what?" "You sound just like Cameron Dennis." "Remember?" "Always a reason." "Always out for the greater good, but in the end, it's all about him." "Look." "I've never claimed to be out for the greater good." "So, cut me a deal and find yourself another donor." "Harvey, it's too late." "Please." "I need this." "Well, that's not my problem." "Send Carolyn my love." "You wanted to see me?" "I know why you care so much about Ava Hessington." "Well, it's no secret." "Her father was my first client." "I think he was a little bit more than that." "It was a different time." "Does she know?" "Well, she knows that I care about her." "I'm sorry." "Was there something else you wanted?" "Just to let you know that if I could figure that out," "Harvey can figure that out." "And why would that be a problem?" "Because it's one thing for Harvey to know that this case is important to you." "Another, to know how important." "Are you telling me you don't trust him?" "I told you he's having a difficult time digesting this merger." "I don't want him using this as leverage to leave." "At the end of the day," "I don't believe Harvey really wants to leave." "Harvey." "What a coincidence." "Cameron." "You grew the mustache back." "I'll let you in on a little secret." "It wasn't a success the first time." "What are you doing here?" "Yeah, Richard told me that you mentioned me at your last meeting." "It's funny, because he called me after your first meeting." "Wanted my advice." "So, I guess you're here to tell me he's not going to give me a deal." "I'm here to tell you he's recusing himself from the case." "He didn't want the appearance of a conflict that damaged the workings of justice." "So, he appointed a special prosecutor." "Lucky for me, I've always been special." "No, you've always been a corrupt prick." "It just took me a while to realize it." "It took me a while to realize that you don't have a speck of loyalty in your entire body." "Loyalty is a two-way street, and you ran me off the road." "So, what are you going to do?" "Are you going to let Jessica fight your fight like you did last time?" "Or are you going to run away like you did you left the DA's office?" "Neither one, Cameron." "But thank you." "For what?" "For reminding me that I don't run from a fight." "What was so important that I had to come down here right away?" "Don't tell me you want a bigger office." "You told me that I can think of this office as a reminder of what I did to Harvey or as a symbol of what I can do at this firm." "But the thing is, I don't want to be here if I'm not solid with Harvey." "Well, that's between you and Harvey." "It's between you and me." "You put yourself between us when you blackmailed me." "Well, the word you're looking for is "Extortion", not "Blackmail"." "And I'm not going to comment on that accusation." "But as for your choices, you made those all by yourself." "So, don't come crying to me." "This is a copy of the letter you wrote to the District Attorney, when you threatened to expose me." "Expose you for what?" "I never wrote a letter like that." "I'm not recording you." "I don't need to record you." "This letter was printed from your hard drive, which has your computer's digital signature." "What do you want?" "I want to know if you had the chance, would you have traded that car to get your parents back together?" "That's a stupid goddamn question and you know it." "I never had that chance." "So, what does it matter?" "Because I do." "What do I want?" "I want to give this office back." "I didn't earn it." "I don't want it." "And if there's a chance it will help Harvey forgive me," "I'm going to take it." "Oh." "And, uh..." "If you ever do send that letter, you're in the same boat as me." "Harvey, you're looking determined." "I am." "What can I do for you?" "Look." "I know we had an arrangement, but I came here to change it." "Change it?" "But you might not even win." "I've just heard about this new special prosecutor." "Relax." "The case was always going to be hard." "It just got a little harder." "Because you made it that way." "That's my problem." "And now, you're using that increased difficulty to renegotiate our deal." "That's your problem." "We both know how important Ava is to you." "What do you want?" "I don't want to run from a fight." "Meaning?" "I win, you don't fire me." "You back me for Managing Partner." "You want to take down Jessica?" "Yes." "I do."
