1
00:00:01,044 --> 00:00:02,212
(HARVEY READING)
2
00:00:02,295 --> 00:00:04,005
Tell Harvey how you feel.
What?
3
00:00:04,089 --> 00:00:05,590
If you don't
tell him that soon,
4
00:00:05,674 --> 00:00:07,258
you might lose the chance
to tell him at all.
5
00:00:07,425 --> 00:00:10,261
I understand why you go after
the unattainable woman.
6
00:00:10,345 --> 00:00:12,681
You are titillated
by what you cannot have.
7
00:00:12,764 --> 00:00:14,182
But I can have her, Doc.
8
00:00:14,265 --> 00:00:16,309
Only if you choose
to be the bad boy.
9
00:00:16,393 --> 00:00:18,019
What if I want to be
the bad boy?
10
00:00:18,103 --> 00:00:19,729
I am happy to say,
my friend,
11
00:00:19,813 --> 00:00:22,399
we both know that is not you.
12
00:00:22,482 --> 00:00:25,694
Paula said she doesn't think we'd survive
if you and I keep working together.
13
00:00:25,777 --> 00:00:28,071
I want to stay here in the
position that I fought to get
14
00:00:28,154 --> 00:00:30,448
and that I love
and that I know I deserve.
15
00:00:30,532 --> 00:00:32,617
You let Donna go.
She left her letter
16
00:00:32,701 --> 00:00:34,369
of resignation on my desk.
17
00:00:34,452 --> 00:00:36,413
I'm sorry, Harvey.
You didn't make me do it.
18
00:00:36,496 --> 00:00:39,499
I chose to, and now
I'm choosing to undo it.
19
00:00:39,582 --> 00:00:41,793
Are you okay?
Will you come back?
20
00:00:42,627 --> 00:00:44,838
Yes.
Then I'm okay.
21
00:00:44,921 --> 00:00:46,715
The Dean of Admissions is
coming to check on your work
22
00:00:46,798 --> 00:00:48,258
tomorrow night, Miss Sazs.
23
00:00:48,341 --> 00:00:50,301
You mean
Dean Hans von Schlongenhammer?
24
00:00:50,385 --> 00:00:51,845
You're going to
get the hammer
25
00:00:51,928 --> 00:00:54,431
from the schlongen.
Louis, this is my fiancé,
26
00:00:54,556 --> 00:00:56,224
Xander.
Hey.
27
00:00:57,475 --> 00:00:59,436
XANDER: What'd you see in him?
SHEILA: I know.
28
00:01:05,734 --> 00:01:08,361
Louis, we've been here
for 35 minutes,
29
00:01:08,445 --> 00:01:10,697
and you've barely
said a word.
30
00:01:10,780 --> 00:01:12,532
What's going on?
31
00:01:12,615 --> 00:01:14,743
All right, you want to
know the truth?
32
00:01:15,034 --> 00:01:17,454
Last time I saw you,
you said I'm not the bad boy.
33
00:01:18,747 --> 00:01:20,707
But I thought,
You know, why not?
34
00:01:21,291 --> 00:01:23,752
Why can't Louis Litt be the
bad boy just this once?
35
00:01:23,835 --> 00:01:26,546
I see, so you continued
your affair with Sheila.
36
00:01:26,629 --> 00:01:29,174
And it was great.
I mean, I had the girl.
37
00:01:29,257 --> 00:01:30,675
I had the confidence.
38
00:01:31,342 --> 00:01:33,178
But then
when I went to meet her...
39
00:01:34,596 --> 00:01:36,514
He was there.
He?
40
00:01:36,598 --> 00:01:38,850
The shithead that's she's marrying,
Xander Fuck Face.
41
00:01:38,933 --> 00:01:40,769
And how did seeing him
make you feel?
42
00:01:40,852 --> 00:01:42,479
How the hell do you think
it made me feel?
43
00:01:42,562 --> 00:01:43,897
It made me feel like someone
was ripping my heart out,
44
00:01:43,980 --> 00:01:47,275
shredding it to pieces,
and lighting it on fire right in front of me.
45
00:01:47,358 --> 00:01:49,110
Good.
"Good"?
46
00:01:49,194 --> 00:01:51,780
Did you not hear what I just said?
You want me to say it again in German?
47
00:01:51,863 --> 00:01:53,490
I heard you, Louis.
48
00:01:54,532 --> 00:01:55,784
I said "good"
49
00:01:55,867 --> 00:01:59,871
because you may have fooled yourself
into believing there was some future
50
00:01:59,954 --> 00:02:01,414
between you and Sheila.
51
00:02:01,498 --> 00:02:05,627
But coming face-to-face with this Xander
means you can now face the truth.
52
00:02:05,710 --> 00:02:08,421
What truth is that?
That if you do not end this,
53
00:02:08,505 --> 00:02:12,550
that terrible feeling you had last
night will only continue to grow.
54
00:02:13,426 --> 00:02:14,844
I know.
55
00:02:16,721 --> 00:02:18,348
You're right.
56
00:02:21,476 --> 00:02:23,061
It's time to let her go.
57
00:02:28,733 --> 00:02:31,152
Judge Ralls?
You remember me.
58
00:02:31,236 --> 00:02:32,445
Of course.
59
00:02:32,529 --> 00:02:34,322
You treated me fairly
during my trial.
60
00:02:34,405 --> 00:02:36,324
I'll never forget that.
Good.
61
00:02:36,407 --> 00:02:38,451
Because I'm not
just here by accident.
62
00:02:41,246 --> 00:02:44,332
You're being accused of overturning
a verdict for personal gain.
63
00:02:44,415 --> 00:02:46,876
And if I lose,
it could cost me my judgeship.
64
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,921
Forgive me for asking, but why exactly
are you coming to me with this?
65
00:02:50,004 --> 00:02:51,631
Because you're
a hell of a lawyer.
66
00:02:51,756 --> 00:02:53,633
And like you said,
I always treated you
67
00:02:53,716 --> 00:02:56,219
fairly during your trial.
Bullshit.
68
00:02:56,302 --> 00:02:58,763
How many other firms you
go to before coming to me?
69
00:03:00,723 --> 00:03:02,517
Seven.
That's what I thought.
70
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,352
So you're not coming to me
because I know you're fair.
71
00:03:04,435 --> 00:03:06,855
You picked me because
anyone who takes on this case
72
00:03:06,938 --> 00:03:08,773
is gonna have to drop
at least one client,
73
00:03:08,857 --> 00:03:12,443
and you thought you could come down
here and guilt me into doing that.
74
00:03:13,278 --> 00:03:14,904
No, thanks.
75
00:03:14,988 --> 00:03:16,823
And what if that's true?
76
00:03:16,906 --> 00:03:20,201
I can't ask my firm
to drop a client right now.
77
00:03:20,285 --> 00:03:21,619
I'm sorry.
78
00:03:21,703 --> 00:03:22,871
You're sorry?
79
00:03:22,954 --> 00:03:24,414
You stood in my courtroom,
80
00:03:24,497 --> 00:03:26,749
said you'd been given a gift
and you wasted it.
81
00:03:27,375 --> 00:03:28,668
I've served for 20 years.
82
00:03:28,751 --> 00:03:30,378
They're accusing me
of something I didn't do,
83
00:03:30,461 --> 00:03:31,629
and I lose this,
84
00:03:31,713 --> 00:03:33,840
I lose everything
I've ever worked for.
85
00:03:34,549 --> 00:03:37,802
So did you mean that shit
you said to the jury or not?
86
00:03:46,769 --> 00:03:48,354
LOUIS: Xander, what are you
doing here?
87
00:03:48,438 --> 00:03:51,399
Surprised to see someone someplace
they have no business being?
88
00:03:51,482 --> 00:03:55,236
I know the feeling because I felt
it last night in Sheila's office.
89
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,530
And again, I am sorry
for interrupting.
90
00:03:57,614 --> 00:03:59,866
But as anyone who knows me
will tell you,
91
00:03:59,949 --> 00:04:01,910
I take the recruitment of our
associates very seriously...
92
00:04:01,993 --> 00:04:04,245
Cut the bullshit.
93
00:04:04,329 --> 00:04:06,664
I know what you were
doing there last night.
94
00:04:06,748 --> 00:04:08,708
And I'm not gonna
let you keep doing it.
95
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:10,960
You're pretending
to recruit students
96
00:04:11,044 --> 00:04:12,545
so you can spend time with
her and win her back.
97
00:04:12,629 --> 00:04:13,713
And it's not gonna happen.
98
00:04:13,838 --> 00:04:15,924
That's not what I was doing there.
Well,
99
00:04:16,007 --> 00:04:18,760
you sure as hell weren't there
to recruit a bunch of associates
100
00:04:18,843 --> 00:04:20,845
for your shitty little firm.
101
00:04:21,888 --> 00:04:23,598
What'd you just say
about my firm?
102
00:04:23,681 --> 00:04:26,684
I said I work at Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
103
00:04:26,768 --> 00:04:29,771
We're better than you.
I'm better than you.
104
00:04:29,854 --> 00:04:31,564
And you better
start accepting that.
105
00:04:31,648 --> 00:04:34,400
You know what, Xander?
I wasn't there last night to get Sheila back,
106
00:04:34,484 --> 00:04:36,277
and you're goddamn lucky
I wasn't.
107
00:04:36,361 --> 00:04:38,279
Because if I wanted her back,
she'd be mine.
108
00:04:38,363 --> 00:04:39,739
That's a joke.
You're a joke.
109
00:04:39,822 --> 00:04:41,616
And I'll tell you
something else.
110
00:04:41,699 --> 00:04:44,494
My name is on my firm.
111
00:04:44,577 --> 00:04:47,789
I've never heard of you,
so back off,
112
00:04:47,872 --> 00:04:50,625
or I'll take her from you.
I don't think so.
113
00:04:50,708 --> 00:04:52,502
Because she chose me.
114
00:04:52,585 --> 00:04:55,713
So get your associates from NYU
or some other shitty law school.
115
00:04:55,797 --> 00:04:57,966
I don't really care.
116
00:04:58,508 --> 00:05:01,344
But stay the hell away
from my fiancée.
117
00:05:07,642 --> 00:05:11,312
(SINGING) See the money,
wanna stay for your meal
118
00:05:11,396 --> 00:05:14,649
Get another piece of pie
for your wife
119
00:05:14,732 --> 00:05:17,819
Everybody wanna know
how it feel
120
00:05:17,902 --> 00:05:21,531
Everybody wanna see
what it's like
121
00:05:21,614 --> 00:05:24,492
I'll even eat a bean pie
I don't mind
122
00:05:24,575 --> 00:05:26,619
Me and missy is so early
123
00:05:26,703 --> 00:05:28,579
Busy, busy making money
124
00:05:28,663 --> 00:05:30,415
All right!
125
00:05:30,498 --> 00:05:35,503
All step back
I'm 'bout to dance
126
00:05:35,586 --> 00:05:37,130
The greenback boogie
127
00:05:42,051 --> 00:05:44,929
Mike, it's not even 9:00 yet.
I know.
128
00:05:45,013 --> 00:05:46,639
I was as surprised to find
you here as you were.
129
00:05:46,723 --> 00:05:48,433
Well, I meant
it's not even 9:00
130
00:05:48,516 --> 00:05:50,476
and you're already coming to me
with that look on your face.
131
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,728
What look on my face?
132
00:05:51,811 --> 00:05:54,981
The look that says you're about to ask
for something that I won't want to do.
133
00:05:55,064 --> 00:05:56,357
(CHUCKLES)
134
00:05:56,441 --> 00:05:57,817
Judge Ralls
came to see me.
135
00:05:57,900 --> 00:05:59,694
You mean the judge
that oversaw your fraud case?
136
00:05:59,777 --> 00:06:01,362
She's been accused
of overturning a verdict
137
00:06:01,446 --> 00:06:03,573
for a company that
she has an interest in.
138
00:06:03,656 --> 00:06:05,033
No.
Harvey, I don't think
139
00:06:05,116 --> 00:06:07,577
she did it.
We're trying to sign Techron.
140
00:06:07,660 --> 00:06:09,662
They've got a case that could
end up in front of Ralls.
141
00:06:09,746 --> 00:06:11,622
The second we agree
to represent her,
142
00:06:11,748 --> 00:06:13,875
we can kiss them goodbye.
Okay, look, I...
143
00:06:13,958 --> 00:06:15,543
I don't want this to be
another prison case.
144
00:06:15,626 --> 00:06:17,086
So if you don't want to do it,
we won't,
145
00:06:17,170 --> 00:06:19,047
but we were just on the
right side with Teddy.
146
00:06:19,130 --> 00:06:20,923
I thought it'd be nice for us
to be on the right side again.
147
00:06:21,007 --> 00:06:22,592
What do you mean, "us"?
148
00:06:22,675 --> 00:06:24,427
Even if I said yes,
you don't need me to fight this.
149
00:06:24,510 --> 00:06:26,637
I heard about
what happened with Paula.
150
00:06:27,638 --> 00:06:29,348
I just thought that
if we did this thing together,
151
00:06:29,432 --> 00:06:31,225
maybe we could
have some fun.
152
00:06:32,769 --> 00:06:34,979
In that case,
get your shit.
153
00:06:35,063 --> 00:06:37,899
Brief me on the way.
154
00:06:37,982 --> 00:06:39,650
On our way where?
155
00:06:39,734 --> 00:06:42,361
If you know A Few Good Men
as well as you say you do,
156
00:06:42,445 --> 00:06:44,363
you'll be able to guess.
157
00:06:49,035 --> 00:06:50,661
Thanks.
FOX: Excuse me.
158
00:06:50,745 --> 00:06:52,580
Aren't you Donna Paulsen?
159
00:06:52,663 --> 00:06:55,666
I am, and who might you be?
160
00:06:55,750 --> 00:06:57,126
David Fox.
161
00:06:57,210 --> 00:06:58,836
Fox Commercial Leasing.
162
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,463
Oh, I know who you are, Mr. Fox.
You own the building.
163
00:07:00,546 --> 00:07:01,756
Please, call me David.
164
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,674
You know this isn't
the only building I own.
165
00:07:03,758 --> 00:07:05,468
Hmm. Exactly how many
do you own?
166
00:07:05,551 --> 00:07:06,803
Thirty-four.
167
00:07:06,886 --> 00:07:08,763
(INHALES SHARPLY) Well, David,
if you think telling me
168
00:07:08,846 --> 00:07:11,182
that you own 34 properties
is going to impress me,
169
00:07:11,265 --> 00:07:12,767
you just might be right.
170
00:07:12,850 --> 00:07:14,602
Well, I do love being right,
and you know what?
171
00:07:14,685 --> 00:07:17,438
I wish I could keep doing this all day,
but unfortunately,
172
00:07:17,522 --> 00:07:19,398
this isn't a social call.
173
00:07:20,149 --> 00:07:22,443
You want us to quadruple
our security deposit?
174
00:07:22,527 --> 00:07:24,946
You took Jessica Pearson's
name off the wall,
175
00:07:25,029 --> 00:07:27,907
and then you declared you
want nothing to do with her.
176
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:31,035
That is a material change
in your firm.
177
00:07:31,119 --> 00:07:33,162
It could affect your ability
to make rent.
178
00:07:33,538 --> 00:07:34,664
Look.
179
00:07:34,789 --> 00:07:36,958
We did distance ourselves
from Jessica Pearson.
180
00:07:37,041 --> 00:07:38,376
But we also
restructured the firm,
181
00:07:38,459 --> 00:07:39,836
and we're stronger
than ever.
182
00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:41,504
And if you need me to show
you the books to prove it,
183
00:07:41,587 --> 00:07:42,588
I'm happy to do that.
184
00:07:42,672 --> 00:07:45,466
That's not gonna be necessary, Donna,
but look, I've got this board of directors
185
00:07:45,550 --> 00:07:47,802
that I have to contend with,
so if you could
186
00:07:47,885 --> 00:07:50,805
draft a letter documenting
exactly what you just told me
187
00:07:50,888 --> 00:07:53,933
and hand-deliver it
to my office,
188
00:07:54,517 --> 00:07:56,644
I just might able to
keep them at bay.
189
00:07:56,727 --> 00:07:58,146
You know, if you wanted me
to come to your office,
190
00:07:58,229 --> 00:07:59,522
you could have just asked.
191
00:07:59,897 --> 00:08:01,274
I thought I just did.
192
00:08:06,904 --> 00:08:08,573
Katrina,
drop what you're doing.
193
00:08:08,656 --> 00:08:10,158
I need my black swan.
194
00:08:10,241 --> 00:08:12,326
Let me guess.
Xander Epstein.
195
00:08:12,410 --> 00:08:13,995
What? How could you
know that?
196
00:08:14,078 --> 00:08:15,663
When I saw the announcement
about Sheila's wedding,
197
00:08:15,746 --> 00:08:17,456
I knew there'd
eventually be a duel.
198
00:08:17,540 --> 00:08:19,667
Which is why I already
started digging into him.
199
00:08:19,750 --> 00:08:21,169
Well, then tell me
what you got,
200
00:08:21,252 --> 00:08:22,879
because I need to beat this
clown 19 ways from Sunday,
201
00:08:22,962 --> 00:08:24,547
and I've never even
heard of him.
202
00:08:24,630 --> 00:08:26,215
The reason you haven't
heard of him is because
203
00:08:26,299 --> 00:08:29,510
he's an expert in a very small
subset of technology law.
204
00:08:29,594 --> 00:08:31,512
Well, shit. I don't know
anything about tech law.
205
00:08:31,596 --> 00:08:34,390
But what you do know about is
having a huge chip on your shoulder
206
00:08:34,473 --> 00:08:37,518
and using it to beat the shit out
of anyone who stands in your way.
207
00:08:37,602 --> 00:08:38,853
That I do.
208
00:08:39,604 --> 00:08:41,063
This is gonna be
one hell of a duel.
209
00:08:41,147 --> 00:08:43,858
I know. He's gonna be
the Burr to your Hamilton.
210
00:08:44,942 --> 00:08:45,943
But Hamilton dies.
211
00:08:46,027 --> 00:08:47,862
Not this time, Louis.
212
00:08:47,945 --> 00:08:49,155
Not this time.
213
00:08:53,784 --> 00:08:56,204
I don't get it.
How could I have guessed this?
214
00:08:56,287 --> 00:08:58,581
They didn't go to batting
cages in A Few Good Men.
215
00:08:58,664 --> 00:09:01,626
No, but Tom Cruise says he can
think better with his bat.
216
00:09:02,126 --> 00:09:04,295
There is no way
I could have guessed that.
217
00:09:05,046 --> 00:09:06,923
All right, give me
the CliffsNotes.
218
00:09:07,006 --> 00:09:09,926
Two months ago,
PolyCode v. K Systems.
219
00:09:10,009 --> 00:09:11,802
Jury ruled in favor
of PolyCode.
220
00:09:11,886 --> 00:09:15,139
Ralls overturned the case
on its merits.
221
00:09:15,223 --> 00:09:17,475
Let me guess.
Whoever's representing PolyCode
222
00:09:17,558 --> 00:09:20,102
found out that Ralls has a
ton of money in K Systems.
223

(GRUNTS) Exactly.
224
00:09:21,896 --> 00:09:24,982
But I talked to her finance guy,
and he says it's in a trust,
225
00:09:25,066 --> 00:09:26,734
it's blind, and he's willing
to put it in writing.
226
00:09:26,817 --> 00:09:28,194
Who's repping PolyCode?
227
00:09:28,653 --> 00:09:29,946
(GRUNTS)
Smith and Devane.
228
00:09:30,029 --> 00:09:31,822
Well, they're not idiots.
229
00:09:31,906 --> 00:09:33,991
They've got to figure that we
could find proof like that.
230
00:09:34,075 --> 00:09:35,785
Yeah, so the only question is,
231
00:09:35,868 --> 00:09:37,745
why do they think
they have a shot?

(BALL LAUNCHES)
233
00:09:41,207 --> 00:09:44,168
Wait a second,
what if they don't think they have a shot?
234
00:09:44,252 --> 00:09:45,711
What are you talking about?
235
00:09:45,795 --> 00:09:47,880
You said you didn't
want to represent Ralls
236
00:09:47,964 --> 00:09:50,591
because it could affect
another case we might try.
237
00:09:50,675 --> 00:09:52,093
She gets put in review,
238
00:09:52,176 --> 00:09:53,886
she's gonna be kicked off
the bench for six months.
239
00:09:53,970 --> 00:09:56,055
Holy shit,
they want her off so she won't
240
00:09:56,138 --> 00:09:58,349
find against a different
client in an upcoming case.
241
00:09:58,432 --> 00:10:00,226

get her to recuse herself

Well, look at that.
I am having fun.

Now I'm having
even more fun

What kind of nature films
did you watch as a kid?
248
00:10:15,074 --> 00:10:16,701
I didn't watch any.

how to hit a baseball.

You said you're the better lawyer.
I thought we'd put it to the test.
253

You really want to
pick a fight
254
00:10:31,882 --> 00:10:33,968
with me in tech law?
I wrote the book on it.
255

I don't care what
you wrote the book on.
256
00:10:35,553 --> 00:10:37,930
I just took my glove off and
slapped you in the face with it,

Mommy or pick up a pistol?

You don't have the standing
to bring this suit.
259
00:10:41,058 --> 00:10:43,102
Yes, I do,
because one of the massive banks

Oh, I get it.

You don't like that we have the most
exquisite piece of equipment ever made

and the only cartridge
that will ever get to fill it

with the full range of
proprietary ink again is mine.

about who's the better lawyer.

Because let me assure you,
no matter where

this little charade ends,
you're gonna be left standing

long as you're willing to sign this.

from any cases being tried
by Smith and Devane
283
00:11:42,745 --> 00:11:45,122
for the next three years.
And why would I agree to that?
284
00:11:45,206 --> 00:11:47,833
Because if you do,
this whole thing goes away.

00:11:47,917 --> 00:11:49,877
I don't care what happens
to this thing.
286
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,046
It's blackmail,
and I'm not giving in to it.
287
00:11:52,129 --> 00:11:54,632
Listen to me, this avoids
even the rumor of something
288
00:11:54,715 --> 00:11:56,092
that could destroy
your reputation.
289
00:11:56,175 --> 00:11:57,259
That's what
you came to me for.
290
00:11:57,343 --> 00:11:59,011
I came to you to defend me.
291
00:11:59,095 --> 00:12:02,098
We're offering you a way to
get out of needing a defense.
292
00:12:02,181 --> 00:12:05,059
What you're offering is a chance
to do something unethical.
293
00:12:05,726 --> 00:12:06,811
You don't do this,
294
00:12:06,894 --> 00:12:09,021
we have to argue this in front
of a judicial committee,

And I don't care.

So instead of trying
to broker some backroom deal,
298
00:12:15,027 --> 00:12:17,113
why don't you try to figure
out how to clear my name?
299
00:12:17,196 --> 00:12:18,989
Because I recuse myself,
300
00:12:19,073 --> 00:12:20,908

gotten paid to overrule
301
00:12:20,991 --> 00:12:22,993

Now, I don't want you
to leave here empty-handed,

I'm giving you
90 days' notice.
314
00:12:58,070 --> 00:12:59,280
Then I'm kicking you out.
315
00:12:59,363 --> 00:13:00,990
That's a violation
of our lease.
316
00:13:01,490 --> 00:13:02,950
It would be
if you had a lease.
317
00:13:03,033 --> 00:13:04,493
It was rendered invalid
when you restructured,
318
00:13:04,577 --> 00:13:07,413
which, if I'm not mistaken,
you just gave me proof of right here.
319
00:13:07,496 --> 00:13:10,958
So all that concern about us not being
able to pay our rent was just...
320
00:13:11,041 --> 00:13:12,460
I believe they call it
a ploy.

00:13:12,543 --> 00:13:14,420
Yeah, and I think we know
what they call you.

she'd never done before.
326
00:13:22,428 --> 00:13:23,846
I took advantage.

00:13:24,138 --> 00:13:26,098
So all that flirting
was just bullshit?

00:13:26,182 --> 00:13:27,808
No, I never said that.

00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:49,497
the rent increases 100%
over three years,
339
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:51,624
and no one
ever has to know.
340
00:13:52,249 --> 00:13:54,126
I'm not letting you
get away with this.
341
00:14:05,054 --> 00:14:06,555
Sheila, what are you
doing here?
342
00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:09,892
Yeah, I'm not here to answer questions,
Louis. I'm here to ask them.
343
00:14:11,101 --> 00:14:13,270
What the hell are you doing
suing Xander?
344
00:14:13,354 --> 00:14:15,231
What do you think I'm doing?
I'm protecting my honor.
345
00:14:15,314 --> 00:14:18,067
Louis, I know it upset you to
see us together at my office,
346
00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:21,362
but I never thought you'd
start something like this.
347
00:14:21,445 --> 00:14:23,113
You know what, Sheila?
As far as I'm concerned,
348
00:14:23,197 --> 00:14:24,532
I didn't start anything.
349
00:14:24,615 --> 00:14:26,534
You did.
What?
350
00:14:26,617 --> 00:14:28,160
I had nothing
to do with this.
351
00:14:28,244 --> 00:14:29,411
You have everything
to do with it.
352
00:14:29,495 --> 00:14:31,038
I was living my life.
353
00:14:31,121 --> 00:14:32,248
You know what?
354
00:14:32,331 --> 00:14:34,250
I was dumb enough
355
00:14:34,333 --> 00:14:37,002
to think that fate
finally got it right,
356
00:14:37,086 --> 00:14:39,213
that there was a reason that
you were back here in New York
357
00:14:39,296 --> 00:14:41,382
and that you would figure out
that that reason was me.
358
00:14:41,465 --> 00:14:43,008
But when I saw you with him,
when I heard you tell him
359
00:14:43,092 --> 00:14:45,386
that you just don't know
what you ever saw in me,
360
00:14:45,469 --> 00:14:49,348
and then that dick shows up at my office
to tell me to stay away from you.
361
00:14:49,431 --> 00:14:52,685
So you engineered a
lawsuit to get me back?
362
00:14:52,768 --> 00:14:54,728
Because, Louis,
that's not gonna happen.
363
00:14:54,812 --> 00:14:56,564
I know it's not gonna happen.
That's not what this is about.
364
00:14:56,647 --> 00:14:57,940
Then what is this about?
365
00:14:58,023 --> 00:14:59,525
I told you
what this is about.
366
00:14:59,608 --> 00:15:01,527
It's about my honor.
367
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:06,949
I don't get the girl.
368
00:15:08,492 --> 00:15:10,452
I don't get to be happy.
369
00:15:12,162 --> 00:15:15,040
But at least I get to beat
this asshole into the ground.
370
00:15:17,209 --> 00:15:18,961
Louis, if you do this,
371
00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:21,797
he's going to find out
about us.
372
00:15:22,089 --> 00:15:24,341
(VOICE BREAKING) And it's
gonna ruin my relationship...
373
00:15:25,551 --> 00:15:27,469
And ruin my life.
374
00:15:27,553 --> 00:15:29,346
Sheila, you have my word.
375
00:15:29,888 --> 00:15:31,849
I won't let that happen
no matter what.
376
00:15:32,516 --> 00:15:33,809
Okay, Louis.
377
00:15:34,351 --> 00:15:36,353
I just hope you know
what you're doing.
378
00:15:44,737 --> 00:15:47,281
Rachel, I need you to drop
whatever it is you're doing
379
00:15:47,364 --> 00:15:49,366
and come up with a lawsuit
that sends the son of a bitch
380
00:15:49,450 --> 00:15:50,618
who owns this building
to prison
381
00:15:50,743 --> 00:15:53,287
for the rest of his miserable life.
Okay, calm down.
382
00:15:53,370 --> 00:15:55,039
I have no idea
what you're talking about.
383
00:15:55,122 --> 00:15:58,334
(SIGHS) Our landlord tricked me into
admitting that we restructured the firm,
384
00:15:58,417 --> 00:16:01,086
and now he's filed suit
to evict us in 90 days.
385
00:16:01,170 --> 00:16:02,338
Donna, this is bad.
386
00:16:02,421 --> 00:16:04,465
You have to get
Harvey and Louis involved.
387
00:16:04,548 --> 00:16:06,634
Rachel, I can't go to Harvey
with this right now.
388
00:16:06,717 --> 00:16:08,385
I just... I can't.
389
00:16:09,011 --> 00:16:10,638
Donna, what's going on?
390
00:16:15,517 --> 00:16:17,561
I kissed him.
What?
391
00:16:17,645 --> 00:16:19,313
I knew things were getting
serious with Paula,
392
00:16:19,396 --> 00:16:20,898
and I just... I had to know.
393
00:16:21,523 --> 00:16:23,150
Donna, that's huge.
394
00:16:23,233 --> 00:16:24,610
That's not
the point, Rachel.
395
00:16:24,693 --> 00:16:26,904
But I feel
terrible because...
396
00:16:27,738 --> 00:16:29,698
(SIGHING) Harvey and Paula
aren't together anymore.
397
00:16:29,782 --> 00:16:31,659
And there's no way you're
gonna be responsible for that
398
00:16:31,742 --> 00:16:33,494
and for the firm
losing its home.
399
00:16:33,577 --> 00:16:35,245
No, there's not.
400
00:16:35,329 --> 00:16:38,248
Okay, we might be able to
find a way to fix this thing,
401
00:16:38,332 --> 00:16:41,001
but it can't be bullshit.
402
00:16:41,085 --> 00:16:43,754
Then let's come up with
something that's not bullshit.
403
00:16:46,715 --> 00:16:48,509
(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)
404
00:16:48,592 --> 00:16:50,177
You were right, Mike.
405
00:16:50,260 --> 00:16:52,054
I needed the distraction.
406
00:16:52,763 --> 00:16:53,847
Thanks.
407
00:16:56,350 --> 00:16:58,185
Harvey, I know
it's none of my business
408
00:16:58,268 --> 00:17:00,604
and you probably don't want
to talk about it, but...
409
00:17:02,106 --> 00:17:03,774
What happened with Paula?
410
00:17:06,777 --> 00:17:07,778
(EXHALES)
411
00:17:10,781 --> 00:17:12,324
Donna kissed me.
412
00:17:14,493 --> 00:17:15,577
What?
413
00:17:18,789 --> 00:17:23,001
It was after Malik was over,
and out of the clear blue sky,
414
00:17:23,085 --> 00:17:24,753
Donna kissed me.
415
00:17:24,837 --> 00:17:27,089
Look, it's a long story,
but it led me to realize
416
00:17:27,172 --> 00:17:29,133
that Paula's not the one.
417
00:17:30,509 --> 00:17:31,719
Because Donna is?
418
00:17:31,802 --> 00:17:33,345
That's not what I'm saying.
419
00:17:33,429 --> 00:17:34,763
Then what are you saying?
420
00:17:35,681 --> 00:17:38,559
I'm saying that you should
know better than anyone
421
00:17:38,642 --> 00:17:41,562
that sometimes shit happens
you couldn't see coming.
422
00:17:42,312 --> 00:17:44,273
It knocks you
into a different life,
423
00:17:44,356 --> 00:17:46,483
and this is
one of those times.
424
00:17:48,485 --> 00:17:50,779
Maybe you couldn't have
seen it coming, but...
425
00:17:52,322 --> 00:17:53,824
I think I should have.
426
00:17:54,825 --> 00:17:56,368
What are you talking about?
427
00:17:58,203 --> 00:17:59,788
You're gonna be pissed.
428
00:18:01,248 --> 00:18:03,208
That night before
we went to see Malik,
429
00:18:03,292 --> 00:18:07,171
I kind of told Donna that
if she had feelings for you
430
00:18:07,254 --> 00:18:10,632
that she better tell you
before it was too late.
431
00:18:12,259 --> 00:18:14,511
(SIGHS) Look, I didn't think
she was gonna kiss you.
432
00:18:15,429 --> 00:18:16,972
It's okay, Mike.
433
00:18:17,598 --> 00:18:19,808
You couldn't have known
she was gonna do that.
434
00:18:23,479 --> 00:18:25,522
Wait a second.
You couldn't have known.
435
00:18:26,190 --> 00:18:27,357
What?
436
00:18:28,108 --> 00:18:31,069
We couldn't have known that
Ralls wouldn't recuse herself,
437
00:18:31,153 --> 00:18:33,405
which means they won't
know she didn't.
438
00:18:35,324 --> 00:18:37,367
Are you talking about
forging her signature?
439
00:18:37,451 --> 00:18:38,827
Yeah, I am.
440
00:18:38,911 --> 00:18:41,789
We get Smith and Devane
to sign off in writing,
441
00:18:41,872 --> 00:18:43,499
that's as good as
them admitting
442
00:18:43,582 --> 00:18:45,375
that they fabricated
this whole thing.
443
00:18:45,459 --> 00:18:47,377
I don't know how I feel
about crossing that line.
444
00:18:47,461 --> 00:18:50,214
Mike, we've done a lot worse for
people that deserve a lot less.
445
00:18:50,297 --> 00:18:52,257
You yourself said that
she deserves this.
446
00:18:56,178 --> 00:18:57,304
Okay.
447
00:19:00,682 --> 00:19:02,434
Okay, let's do it.
448
00:19:08,273 --> 00:19:11,109
I hope you're ready, Epstein.
Oh, I'm ready, Litt.
449
00:19:11,193 --> 00:19:12,569
You sure? Because I have a
little precedent in my pocket
450
00:19:12,653 --> 00:19:14,154
by the name of
Jenkins v. Sanders.
451
00:19:14,238 --> 00:19:16,073
Which might frighten me
if Howell v. Munley
452
00:19:16,156 --> 00:19:17,825
didn't trump Sanders
in 2010.
453
00:19:17,908 --> 00:19:19,493
Well, then it's a good thing
that I brought a little vixen
454
00:19:19,576 --> 00:19:21,578
to the party by the name of
U.S. v. Xerox.
455
00:19:21,745 --> 00:19:23,330
Oh, I guess someone
didn't hear the news.
456
00:19:23,413 --> 00:19:24,832
Xerox was overturned
last week.
457
00:19:24,915 --> 00:19:26,667
Bullshit.
Okay.
458
00:19:26,750 --> 00:19:29,127
It is bullshit.
But it doesn't matter.
459
00:19:29,211 --> 00:19:31,338
Because that only applies
to analog technology,
460
00:19:31,421 --> 00:19:34,341
which hasn't been relevant
in, mmm, 40 years.
461
00:19:34,424 --> 00:19:36,176
And whatever else you have
doesn't matter either
462
00:19:36,260 --> 00:19:37,845
because I've got
a stack of precedents
463
00:19:37,928 --> 00:19:41,515
up to your fat face that'll
crush anything you bring up.
464
00:19:41,723 --> 00:19:42,891
(CHUCKLES)
465
00:19:46,353 --> 00:19:47,437
Okay, change of plans.
466
00:19:47,521 --> 00:19:48,772
We need to file a motion
to delete
467
00:19:48,856 --> 00:19:50,357
this motherfucker's products
from our store.
468
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,775
Louis, you can't do that.
469
00:19:51,859 --> 00:19:53,527
Yes, I can,
and I'm going to.
470
00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:55,696
What is wrong with you?
We have a solid plan.
471
00:19:55,779 --> 00:19:57,531
Don't you get it?
We picked a fight beyond our depth.
472
00:19:57,614 --> 00:19:58,866
He's gonna kills us
unless I do this.
473
00:19:58,949 --> 00:20:02,369
Louis, if we pull a product from
one of our biggest client's shelves
474
00:20:02,452 --> 00:20:04,288
without their permission,
they will go ape-shit.
475
00:20:04,371 --> 00:20:06,832
I don't care.
Well, I do.
476
00:20:06,915 --> 00:20:08,417
And I'm not gonna
let you do it.
477
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:09,751
JUDGE: All right,
what are we doing here?
478
00:20:09,835 --> 00:20:11,378
Time-out.
479
00:20:11,461 --> 00:20:13,755
What?
A postponement, Your Honor.
480
00:20:13,881 --> 00:20:16,383
I request a postponement.
XANDER: On what grounds?
481
00:20:16,466 --> 00:20:19,303
One minute ago, he was ready
to go toe-to-toe with me.
482
00:20:19,386 --> 00:20:20,637
I...
483
00:20:21,388 --> 00:20:22,389
I, um...
484
00:20:22,472 --> 00:20:23,807
It's my fault,
Your Honor.
485
00:20:23,891 --> 00:20:26,310
I brought the wrong
case files to court.
486
00:20:26,393 --> 00:20:30,397
Please don't punish Mr.
Litt for my incompetence.
487
00:20:32,733 --> 00:20:35,861
All right, we will postpone
until tomorrow.
488
00:20:35,944 --> 00:20:37,696
But you two better
get your act together.
489
00:20:37,779 --> 00:20:40,908
This court does not appreciate
having its time wasted.
490
00:20:40,991 --> 00:20:42,910
Thank you, Your Honor.
491
00:20:42,993 --> 00:20:44,953
Look, I'm sorry, Louis,
but if I didn't do that,
492
00:20:45,037 --> 00:20:46,580
we'd lose this client.
XANDER: It's okay.
493
00:20:46,663 --> 00:20:47,748
Louis is used to
losing things.
494
00:20:47,831 --> 00:20:49,583
Cases. Women.
495
00:20:49,666 --> 00:20:50,959
You smug dick.
496
00:20:51,043 --> 00:20:52,878
You think I'm the one
losing Sheila?
497
00:20:52,961 --> 00:20:54,546
I think you lost her
a long time ago,
498
00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:56,298
and now you're showing
everyone why.
499
00:20:56,381 --> 00:20:58,675
Well, you're showing everybody that
you're the most pathetic piece of shit
500
00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:00,385
that ever lived.
Yeah? And why is that?
501
00:21:00,469 --> 00:21:01,845
Because I'm the one
screwing your fiancée
502
00:21:01,929 --> 00:21:04,765
behind your back
and in front of it, too.
503
00:21:04,848 --> 00:21:06,433
What?
Oh, yeah, last Tuesday,
504
00:21:06,516 --> 00:21:08,977
we played cops and robbers,
and I vandalized her all night long.
505
00:21:09,061 --> 00:21:10,604
No, that can't be true.
Oh, it's true.
506
00:21:10,687 --> 00:21:12,272
Because you may be
the one she wants,
507
00:21:12,356 --> 00:21:14,232
but I'm the one she needs.
508
00:21:18,779 --> 00:21:21,448
Louis, please tell me
you didn't say that to him.
509
00:21:21,531 --> 00:21:22,950
No, I didn't,
but I wanted to.
510
00:21:23,033 --> 00:21:24,534
And I have to, I will.
511
00:21:24,618 --> 00:21:26,453
Louis, you can't do that.
512
00:21:26,536 --> 00:21:27,788
You gave Sheila your word.
513
00:21:27,871 --> 00:21:29,623
I don't care.
I need to win this case.
514
00:21:29,706 --> 00:21:31,750
And if you use your affair
to do that,
515
00:21:31,833 --> 00:21:33,794
you will regret it
the rest of your life.
516
00:21:33,877 --> 00:21:35,796
But if I lose, I'll have to
live the rest of my life
517
00:21:35,879 --> 00:21:37,881
knowing that he got the
better of me in everything.
518
00:21:37,965 --> 00:21:40,759
Then find a way to win
without using that tactic.
519
00:21:42,052 --> 00:21:43,929
Because if you
can't do that,
520
00:21:44,012 --> 00:21:46,139
I believe we must
stop seeing each other.
521
00:21:47,015 --> 00:21:48,892
What?
Louis,
522
00:21:48,976 --> 00:21:51,353
I don't say it lightly,
but I have taken an oath
523
00:21:51,436 --> 00:21:52,896
to do no harm.
524
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,650
And lately
I have been feeling
525
00:21:56,775 --> 00:21:58,902
our relationship is doing harm.
How could you say that?
526
00:21:58,986 --> 00:22:00,487
You said that you would
never leave me.
527
00:22:00,570 --> 00:22:01,863
I know.
528
00:22:01,947 --> 00:22:04,032
And it would cause me
great pain.
529
00:22:04,825 --> 00:22:09,454
But my oath to my profession is
greater than my words to you.
530
00:22:09,538 --> 00:22:12,666
And if my willing to leave
you does not prevent you
531
00:22:12,749 --> 00:22:14,960
from hurting the woman
you claim to love,
532
00:22:16,628 --> 00:22:19,381
then what we are doing here
is not working.
533
00:22:32,269 --> 00:22:34,021
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
534
00:22:34,104 --> 00:22:35,397
Donna.
535
00:22:35,605 --> 00:22:38,734
To what do I owe the pleasure?
Got a present for you.
536
00:22:41,111 --> 00:22:42,821
All right,
let me get this straight.
537
00:22:42,904 --> 00:22:44,364
You're trying to use a statute
meant to protect squatters
538
00:22:44,448 --> 00:22:46,533
to keep your lease?
Not trying.
539
00:22:46,616 --> 00:22:48,702
Doing, and that suit's
already been filed.
540
00:22:48,785 --> 00:22:51,997
So you can either spend more in legal fees
than you'll make increasing our rent,
541
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,623
or you can drop
this whole thing.
542
00:22:53,790 --> 00:22:56,460
(STAMMERS) I got to admit,
this is very impressive.
543
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,004
Except for one little thing.
What's that?
544
00:22:59,087 --> 00:23:01,506
The clause in your lease
which states
545
00:23:01,590 --> 00:23:04,885
if the tenant initiates a lawsuit
prior to engaging in arbitration,
546
00:23:04,968 --> 00:23:07,637
I have the right to terminate
your lease within 30 days.
547
00:23:07,721 --> 00:23:09,431
We didn't initiate
the lawsuit. You did.
548
00:23:09,514 --> 00:23:10,849
Did I?
549
00:23:10,932 --> 00:23:12,392
That lawsuit
was never filed.
550
00:23:12,476 --> 00:23:14,394
(CHUCKLES) Wow.
You son of a bitch.
551
00:23:14,478 --> 00:23:17,981
You have so little respect for me that
you would deal in bad faith twice?
552
00:23:18,065 --> 00:23:20,734
Hey, look, I did what
I had to do, all right?
553
00:23:20,817 --> 00:23:22,569
And look,
this isn't personal.
554
00:23:22,652 --> 00:23:25,072
Donna, I told you I own
buildings all over the city.
555
00:23:25,155 --> 00:23:27,991
Right? I wouldn't be able to do that if
I didn't know how to get what I want.
556
00:23:28,075 --> 00:23:30,911
And when word gets out that you
treat your tenants like this,
557
00:23:30,994 --> 00:23:32,454
those buildings aren't
gonna be worth shit.
558
00:23:32,537 --> 00:23:33,997
Trust me, when you
got views like mine
559
00:23:34,081 --> 00:23:36,917
from Central Park
to Battery Park,
560
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,835
people don't care
how they're treated.
561
00:23:38,919 --> 00:23:40,504
They just want in.
562
00:23:40,587 --> 00:23:41,755
As a matter of fact,
I might have something
563
00:23:41,838 --> 00:23:44,174
for you on the other side of town.
I think you guys are gonna love it,
564
00:23:44,257 --> 00:23:45,967
'cause now that
you've filed this,
565
00:23:46,051 --> 00:23:48,512
you're gonna be moving
sooner than you thought.
566
00:23:54,101 --> 00:23:55,519
Ms. Shear?
567
00:23:55,602 --> 00:23:57,479
Mike Ross.
This is Harvey Specter.
568
00:23:57,562 --> 00:23:59,731
I'm sorry. Do I have a case
against you I don't know about?
569
00:23:59,815 --> 00:24:02,109
We're representing
Judge Sandra Ralls.
570
00:24:02,192 --> 00:24:03,485
(SIGHING) Then I guess I do.
571
00:24:03,568 --> 00:24:06,613
Unless, of course, you want to
withdraw your complaint against her.
572
00:24:06,696 --> 00:24:07,864
And why would I do that?
573
00:24:07,948 --> 00:24:11,952
Because we have a signed agreement
saying she'll recuse herself
574
00:24:12,035 --> 00:24:14,788
from Exodyne v. The State
of New York.
575
00:24:16,164 --> 00:24:17,874
I'm afraid
that's not good enough.
576
00:24:17,958 --> 00:24:19,167
Are you kidding me?
577
00:24:19,251 --> 00:24:21,044
She's stepping down
from a huge case
578
00:24:21,128 --> 00:24:22,963
that you have pending with her
which we all know
579
00:24:23,046 --> 00:24:24,464
is what this is really about.
580
00:24:24,548 --> 00:24:26,800
What this is really about,
Mr. Ross,
581
00:24:26,883 --> 00:24:28,635
is removing a judge
from the bench
582
00:24:28,718 --> 00:24:30,804
who's demonstrated an
inability to follow the law.
583
00:24:30,887 --> 00:24:32,806
Bullshit. She followed
the law in your case.
584
00:24:32,889 --> 00:24:34,558
You just didn't like
the result.
585
00:24:34,641 --> 00:24:36,017
Then why don't you ask her
if she followed the law
586
00:24:36,101 --> 00:24:37,602
in the Sullivan case
12 years ago?
587
00:24:37,686 --> 00:24:39,146
What the hell are you
talking about?
588
00:24:39,229 --> 00:24:41,815
Your client takes matters
into her own hands.
589
00:24:41,898 --> 00:24:45,068
She did it 12 years ago.
She did it two months ago.
590
00:24:45,152 --> 00:24:47,404
God knows how many times
she's done it in between.
591
00:24:47,487 --> 00:24:49,239
But she's never
going to do it again.
592
00:24:49,322 --> 00:24:51,616
That woman has more integrity
in her little finger
593
00:24:51,741 --> 00:24:53,076
than you have in your entire...
Mike, that's enough.
594
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,246
You make an accusation like that,
you better damn well have proof.
595
00:24:56,329 --> 00:24:58,206
Because if you smear
this woman's reputation
596
00:24:58,290 --> 00:25:02,002
without cause,
I will make it my life's mission to bury you.
597
00:25:02,085 --> 00:25:05,463
Then instead of coming
at me with empty threats,
598
00:25:05,547 --> 00:25:08,049
why don't you ask
your client what she did?
599
00:25:13,763 --> 00:25:16,057
What are you doing
bursting in here unannounced?
600
00:25:16,141 --> 00:25:18,185
We just came
from Smith and Devane.
601
00:25:18,268 --> 00:25:19,978
They're throwing around
some Sullivan case
602
00:25:20,061 --> 00:25:21,938
like it means something,
and you better tell us
603
00:25:22,022 --> 00:25:24,107
what they're talking about
right now, or we're gone.
604
00:25:24,649 --> 00:25:25,901
(SIGHS)
605
00:25:26,693 --> 00:25:28,612
It was 12 years ago.
606
00:25:28,695 --> 00:25:30,739
I was a new judge.
607
00:25:30,822 --> 00:25:33,825
And there was a 16-year-old kid
with the worst public defender
608
00:25:33,909 --> 00:25:35,118
I've ever seen.
609
00:25:35,702 --> 00:25:38,747
It was bad enough I had to
rule in favor of this boy
610
00:25:38,830 --> 00:25:40,790
being tried as an adult,
611
00:25:41,583 --> 00:25:44,502
but when he was offered a
plea deal and this moron
612
00:25:44,586 --> 00:25:46,338
wanted to take it to trial,
613
00:25:46,963 --> 00:25:49,174
I couldn't sit by and watch.
614
00:25:49,257 --> 00:25:51,968
I don't understand.
Why not just declare a mistrial?
615
00:25:52,052 --> 00:25:55,180
Because having a shitty lawyer
isn't grounds for that.
616
00:25:55,263 --> 00:25:56,848
So instead you had
direct contact
617
00:25:56,932 --> 00:25:58,600
with the defendant?
Harvey, take it easy.
618
00:25:58,683 --> 00:26:00,060
She was just trying
to help a kid.
619
00:26:00,143 --> 00:26:02,020
I don't give a shit if
she's trying to cure cancer.
620
00:26:02,103 --> 00:26:04,064
It's illegal. She didn't
tell us about it.
621
00:26:04,147 --> 00:26:05,899
I'm not losing a client
for a judge
622
00:26:05,982 --> 00:26:08,652
who can't even tell
her own lawyers the truth.
623
00:26:08,777 --> 00:26:11,446
You want to know
what kind of judge I am?
624
00:26:12,155 --> 00:26:14,824
Anita Gibbs came to me
to wiretap your phones
625
00:26:14,908 --> 00:26:16,493
because she knew in her gut
626
00:26:16,576 --> 00:26:18,578
he was a fraud
and you were in on it.
627
00:26:18,662 --> 00:26:20,622
She had everyone
from the Attorney General
628
00:26:20,705 --> 00:26:22,707
to the Governor's office
call to make me do it,
629
00:26:22,791 --> 00:26:23,959
and I said no
630
00:26:24,042 --> 00:26:25,961
because they didn't have
probable cause.
631
00:26:26,044 --> 00:26:27,796
Are you saying I owe you?
632
00:26:27,879 --> 00:26:31,883
I'm saying I made one
mistake 12 years ago,
633
00:26:32,634 --> 00:26:34,261
and our system relies
634
00:26:34,344 --> 00:26:37,389
on having people like me
up on that bench
635
00:26:38,181 --> 00:26:41,059
so that when people like you
get in front of us,
636
00:26:41,142 --> 00:26:43,687
you don't go
straight to prison.
637
00:26:50,860 --> 00:26:52,070
Katrina, if you're here
to tell me we've got nothing,
638
00:26:52,153 --> 00:26:53,613
it's gonna have to wait
because...
639
00:26:53,697 --> 00:26:55,115
I'm not here
to tell you that, Louis.
640
00:26:55,198 --> 00:26:57,075
I'm here to tell you
we have everything.
641
00:26:57,158 --> 00:26:58,618
What?
I heard him talk
642
00:26:58,702 --> 00:27:01,579
about digital versus analog,
which got me thinking.
643
00:27:01,955 --> 00:27:04,749
Tech law has its basis
in copyright law,
644
00:27:04,833 --> 00:27:06,209
which means...
Holy shit.
645
00:27:06,293 --> 00:27:07,669
Xerox applies after all.
646
00:27:07,752 --> 00:27:09,045
Exactly.
647
00:27:09,129 --> 00:27:10,797
We got him.
648
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,257
All you have to do
is show him this,
649
00:27:12,340 --> 00:27:14,968
and he will collapse
like a premature soufflé.
650
00:27:17,304 --> 00:27:19,097
You do it.
651
00:27:19,180 --> 00:27:20,640
Louis, I can't.
Why not?
652
00:27:20,724 --> 00:27:22,142
Because the whole reason
we're doing this
653
00:27:22,225 --> 00:27:24,978
is to give you the satisfaction of
seeing that bastard humiliated.
654
00:27:25,061 --> 00:27:26,771
Katrina,
don't you understand?
655
00:27:26,855 --> 00:27:28,189
If that happens,
he's gonna say something horrible,
656
00:27:28,273 --> 00:27:29,941
then I'm gonna say
something horrible back,
657
00:27:30,025 --> 00:27:32,360
and then I'm gonna
be tempted to tell him that...
658
00:27:33,194 --> 00:27:34,904
Tell him what?
659
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:36,990
Never mind. I can handle it.
660
00:27:37,073 --> 00:27:38,700
Louis, what's going on?
661
00:27:38,783 --> 00:27:40,243
What's going on is,
I do not want to sully you
662
00:27:40,327 --> 00:27:41,745
with my sordid personal life.
663
00:27:41,828 --> 00:27:43,330
I got myself
into this mess,
664
00:27:43,413 --> 00:27:46,082
and you did everything you can
to get me out of it.
665
00:27:46,166 --> 00:27:48,793
The rest I have to do myself,
so thank you.

00:28:03,975 --> 00:28:05,685
RACHEL: Donna,
can I talk to you for a second?
668
00:28:05,769 --> 00:28:08,188
No, Rachel,
you can't because I'm too busy freaking out.
669
00:28:08,271 --> 00:28:09,981
Freaking out about what?
We had him.
670
00:28:10,065 --> 00:28:11,274
It didn't work.
671
00:28:11,358 --> 00:28:12,817
There's a clause
in our lease that says
672
00:28:12,901 --> 00:28:15,320
if we skip arbitration,
he can kick us out in 30 days, not 90.
673
00:28:15,403 --> 00:28:18,156
No, that's only if we
started the litigation.
674
00:28:18,239 --> 00:28:19,657
We didn't. He sued us.
675
00:28:19,741 --> 00:28:21,785
Not officially.
What?
676
00:28:22,077 --> 00:28:25,330
You told me that...
I didn't understand when I told you.
677
00:28:25,997 --> 00:28:27,123
Donna, you have to
tell Harvey.
678
00:28:27,207 --> 00:28:29,376
I can't.
Okay, then you have to tell Louis.
679
00:28:29,459 --> 00:28:31,503
Paula wanted Harvey
to get rid of me.
680
00:28:32,337 --> 00:28:33,380
(STUTTERS)
681
00:28:33,463 --> 00:28:35,215
What are you talking about?
682
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,926
I didn't tell you
the whole story.
683
00:28:38,301 --> 00:28:40,261
She wanted me gone,
and Harvey didn't want to fire me,
684
00:28:40,345 --> 00:28:42,847
so he went to Stu Buzzini
and got him to offer me a job.
685
00:28:42,931 --> 00:28:44,724
And I was gonna to take it,
but then at the last minute,
686
00:28:44,808 --> 00:28:46,267
Harvey changed his mind.
687
00:28:48,353 --> 00:28:50,230
He chose me over her.
688
00:28:51,815 --> 00:28:54,234
And it was only a few days ago,
and I can't be responsible
689
00:28:54,317 --> 00:28:58,113
for losing the only home
that this firm has ever had.
690
00:28:58,196 --> 00:29:00,073
Donna, I understand
all of that.
691
00:29:00,156 --> 00:29:02,867
But if you let
your guilt keep you
692
00:29:02,951 --> 00:29:06,621
from giving him a chance to fix
this thing before it's too late,
693
00:29:07,122 --> 00:29:09,290
he's gonna wish
you took that job.
694
00:29:09,958 --> 00:29:11,167
Okay.
695
00:29:12,752 --> 00:29:13,962
I'll tell him.
696
00:29:14,838 --> 00:29:17,257
Harvey. I've gone through the
files on the Sullivan case.
697
00:29:17,340 --> 00:29:18,883
You did what?
698
00:29:18,967 --> 00:29:20,218
Why would you do that?
699
00:29:20,301 --> 00:29:22,011
Because the panel's
in two days.
700
00:29:22,595 --> 00:29:24,764
We need to be prepared for whatever
they're gonna throw at Ralls.
701
00:29:24,848 --> 00:29:27,308
No, we don't, because I'm not risking
having to drop another client
702
00:29:27,392 --> 00:29:28,810
for someone
who lied to my face.
703
00:29:28,893 --> 00:29:30,895
I'm sorry,
were you in that room?
704
00:29:31,271 --> 00:29:33,440
If she hadn't denied that wiretap,
I wouldn't have been
705
00:29:33,523 --> 00:29:35,358
the only one in prison,
and you know that.
706
00:29:35,442 --> 00:29:37,360
Okay, why do you think she
brought that up to you, Mike?
707
00:29:37,444 --> 00:29:39,279
I don't know.
Maybe to show us why she deserves
708
00:29:39,362 --> 00:29:41,114
to be on the bench.
Bullshit.
709
00:29:41,197 --> 00:29:42,907
She did it to make you feel
like you owe her something,
710
00:29:42,991 --> 00:29:45,034
which is why she came to you
in the first place.
711
00:29:45,118 --> 00:29:46,369
It's because you're a sucker.
712
00:29:47,954 --> 00:29:49,873
Okay. Well, you know what,
Harvey?
713
00:29:49,956 --> 00:29:51,374
I'd rather be a sucker
than someone
714
00:29:51,458 --> 00:29:54,294
who refuses to sacrifice
anything for anyone else.
715
00:29:54,377 --> 00:29:55,920
What the fuck
did you just say to me?
716
00:29:56,004 --> 00:29:59,048
I said I don't give a shit
what we lose.
717
00:29:59,132 --> 00:30:01,092
This woman did us a favor,
718
00:30:01,176 --> 00:30:02,927
and I'm not gonna hang her
out to dry just because
719
00:30:03,011 --> 00:30:04,888
you don't want to sacrifice
a piece of business.
720
00:30:04,971 --> 00:30:07,348
I sacrificed more than
just business this week
721
00:30:07,432 --> 00:30:09,476
all because you couldn't
keep your mouth shut.
722
00:30:09,559 --> 00:30:12,854
Are you... Are you really making
this about Donna right now
723
00:30:12,979 --> 00:30:15,440
when we got a woman's future on the line?
Don't give me that shit.
724
00:30:15,523 --> 00:30:18,776
You made it about Donna when
you said I couldn't sacrifice.
725
00:30:18,860 --> 00:30:20,778
I sacrificed everything.
726
00:30:20,862 --> 00:30:22,572
Harvey...
Enough.
727
00:30:22,864 --> 00:30:24,532
You said you didn't want this
to be another prison case.
728
00:30:24,616 --> 00:30:26,409
Well, it is another
prison case,
729
00:30:26,493 --> 00:30:28,870
and I'm saying
we're dropping it.
730
00:30:30,914 --> 00:30:32,874
Okay, well, as long as
we're talking about sacrifice
731
00:30:32,957 --> 00:30:36,002
and prison, one of us went
to prison for the other one,
732
00:30:36,085 --> 00:30:38,213
and the woman
you're about to cut loose?
733
00:30:38,296 --> 00:30:40,089
She's the reason
that was possible.
734
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:53,770
XANDER: Thanks.
735
00:30:59,442 --> 00:31:01,027
Did you come to
drop this thing in person?
736
00:31:01,110 --> 00:31:02,529
Because if you're nice,
737
00:31:02,612 --> 00:31:04,572
I might let you avoid
being humiliated in court.
738
00:31:04,656 --> 00:31:07,325
You're the one who's gonna be
humiliated if this goes to court.
739
00:31:07,408 --> 00:31:09,244
Oh, good playground
retort, Litt.
740
00:31:09,327 --> 00:31:11,538
Then again, I guess a loser
like you had a lot of practice.
741
00:31:11,996 --> 00:31:14,624
How's this
for a retort, Xander?
742
00:31:16,417 --> 00:31:18,962
We go to court,
that's what everyone's gonna see.
743
00:31:23,466 --> 00:31:25,218
What do you want?
$30 million.
744
00:31:25,301 --> 00:31:26,803
And I want it written
in the settlement
745
00:31:26,886 --> 00:31:28,012
that Louis Litt
is a superior lawyer
746
00:31:28,096 --> 00:31:29,097
to Xander Epstein.
747
00:31:29,180 --> 00:31:30,557
No way.
Yeah way.
748
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,392
You're really that petty?
You can bury it
749
00:31:32,475 --> 00:31:34,227
in the fine print
if you want.
750
00:31:35,103 --> 00:31:36,896
You can put it in Latin
if you want.
751
00:31:36,980 --> 00:31:38,398
But it's going in there,
752
00:31:38,481 --> 00:31:40,817
and you're always gonna know
it's there.
753
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:42,652
Okay.
754
00:31:42,735 --> 00:31:44,946
If that's what it takes
to make you whole,
755
00:31:46,155 --> 00:31:48,616
then we have a deal,
but one thing.
756
00:31:49,284 --> 00:31:52,245
When I get home tonight,
remember who's waiting for me.
757
00:31:52,328 --> 00:31:55,248
And she's gonna cook me dinner,
she's gonna rub my feet,
758
00:31:55,331 --> 00:31:56,916
she's gonna tell me
she loves me,
759
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,502
and we are never
gonna think of you again.
760
00:31:59,586 --> 00:32:01,921
Well, maybe on our
50th wedding anniversary,
761
00:32:02,005 --> 00:32:05,341
we'll laugh about the guy
she almost ended up with,
762
00:32:05,425 --> 00:32:07,427
if we can even
remember your name.
763
00:32:10,430 --> 00:32:12,098
Now it's $50 million.
764
00:32:12,682 --> 00:32:14,475
And that's take it
or leave it.
765
00:32:27,322 --> 00:32:28,531
MIKE: Look, whatever it is,
766
00:32:28,615 --> 00:32:30,158
I'm kind of in
the middle of something.
767
00:32:30,241 --> 00:32:31,618
Well, I hope you're
in the middle of keeping
768
00:32:31,701 --> 00:32:33,703
Ralls on the bench.
Maybe.
769
00:32:35,204 --> 00:32:36,956
Mike, I'm sorry
about last night.
770
00:32:37,540 --> 00:32:39,459
Truth is, it's been
an emotional week,
771
00:32:39,542 --> 00:32:42,086
and when you accused me
of never sacrificing...
772
00:32:42,170 --> 00:32:43,713
I shouldn't have said that.
773
00:32:44,631 --> 00:32:47,467
You've sacrificed for me
hundreds of times.
774
00:32:47,759 --> 00:32:50,011
I know that.
More like thousands.
775
00:32:50,803 --> 00:32:51,929
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
776
00:32:52,221 --> 00:32:53,473
Now, what do you got?
777
00:32:54,265 --> 00:32:56,643
Well, I got to thinking,
778
00:32:56,726 --> 00:33:00,146
how the hell did that woman even know
about what Ralls did with Sullivan?
779
00:33:00,229 --> 00:33:02,148
I'm guessing
you've got an answer.
780
00:33:02,231 --> 00:33:04,901
Turns out that
shitty public defender...
781
00:33:04,984 --> 00:33:07,236
Smith and Devane hired him
six months ago.
782
00:33:07,612 --> 00:33:09,489
But the thing is,
six months ago,
783
00:33:09,572 --> 00:33:11,491
her docket hadn't been set
that far in the future.
784
00:33:11,574 --> 00:33:15,328
Which means this whole thing was a
setup for a case that already happened.
785
00:33:15,411 --> 00:33:17,664
Think about it.
She gets thrown off the bench,
786
00:33:17,747 --> 00:33:19,957
every one of her rulings
for the last seven years
787
00:33:20,041 --> 00:33:21,542
is automatically
subject to appeal.
788
00:33:21,626 --> 00:33:23,670
Mike, this is great.
We got 'em.
789
00:33:23,753 --> 00:33:27,340
The only problem is,
I can't figure out which case
790
00:33:27,423 --> 00:33:30,343
because Smith and Devane didn't
represent anyone she ruled against.
791
00:33:30,426 --> 00:33:32,595
Well, what kind of cases did
she hear during that period?
792
00:33:32,679 --> 00:33:34,597
Mostly federal antitrust.
793
00:33:36,015 --> 00:33:38,101
Then I know who can help us.
794
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:46,693
Sheila.
795
00:33:47,110 --> 00:33:48,528
What are you doing here?
796
00:33:48,611 --> 00:33:51,781
I talked to Xander earlier, and he told
me you two had a settlement meeting.
797
00:33:52,281 --> 00:33:53,449
(SCOFFS)
Is that what he said?
798
00:33:53,825 --> 00:33:56,536
I would describe it as more
of a beatdown, but whatever.
799
00:33:57,870 --> 00:34:00,289
Thank you, Louis.
Why are you thanking me?
800
00:34:01,499 --> 00:34:04,127
For not telling him about us.
Never crossed my mind.
801
00:34:04,210 --> 00:34:05,878
You asked me not to,
so I didn't.
802
00:34:05,962 --> 00:34:08,589
And now I have to ask you
for one more thing.
803
00:34:10,216 --> 00:34:11,509
Please let this case go.
804
00:34:11,801 --> 00:34:14,345
What?
Give him a way to save face,
805
00:34:14,429 --> 00:34:16,097
and let this thing go.
806
00:34:16,180 --> 00:34:17,974
I gave him a way.
It's called a settlement.
807
00:34:18,057 --> 00:34:21,144
No, you jacked up the settlement
and added in some nonsense
808
00:34:21,227 --> 00:34:22,562
about admitting
you're the better man.
809
00:34:22,645 --> 00:34:24,564
I am the better man.
810
00:34:24,647 --> 00:34:27,233
Then prove it by being
the bigger man.
811
00:34:27,316 --> 00:34:28,568
Sheila...
Louis,
812
00:34:28,651 --> 00:34:30,570
I'm getting married
in a few days,
813
00:34:30,653 --> 00:34:33,281
and all my fiancé
can think about is you.
814
00:34:33,656 --> 00:34:35,032
You won.
815
00:34:35,867 --> 00:34:38,453
You beat him,
and he knows it.
816
00:34:39,203 --> 00:34:40,955
Please do this for me.
817
00:34:41,539 --> 00:34:42,999
Because if you don't,
818
00:34:43,541 --> 00:34:46,294
you might as well have just told
him about us in the first place.
819
00:34:58,681 --> 00:35:00,308
Rachel, we need to talk.
820
00:35:00,391 --> 00:35:02,894
What did Harvey say?
I didn't go to Harvey.
821
00:35:02,977 --> 00:35:04,437
Donna, why not?
822
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,564
Because he was busy
with something else,
823
00:35:06,647 --> 00:35:10,234
and I remembered one of the reasons
he promoted me in the first place.
824
00:35:10,818 --> 00:35:12,278
I don't understand.
825
00:35:12,361 --> 00:35:13,988
Rachel, I know people.
826
00:35:14,197 --> 00:35:15,782
I know what makes them tick,
and I need you to pull
827
00:35:15,865 --> 00:35:17,784
another all-nighter and
help me make that asshole
828
00:35:17,867 --> 00:35:19,452
back the hell off.
829
00:35:20,578 --> 00:35:21,871
Okay.
830
00:35:25,541 --> 00:35:27,168
Louis, is this a bad time?
831
00:35:27,251 --> 00:35:28,669
What?
832
00:35:28,753 --> 00:35:30,421
No. What's going on?
833
00:35:30,505 --> 00:35:32,548
Smith and Devane's
trying to get rid of a judge
834
00:35:32,632 --> 00:35:34,884
to overturn a past ruling.
835
00:35:34,967 --> 00:35:37,303
Mike and I are trying to figure
out which case is big enough
836
00:35:37,386 --> 00:35:38,930
to be worth the risk.
837
00:35:39,806 --> 00:35:41,641
Glazer Bank
v. Risa Ventures.
838
00:35:41,724 --> 00:35:43,267
You didn't even
look at the rest of the list.
839
00:35:43,351 --> 00:35:44,811
Oh, I didn't need to.
840
00:35:44,894 --> 00:35:46,646
Smith and Devane represent
Pomaville Industries.
841
00:35:46,729 --> 00:35:48,648
They've been wanting to merge
with Condor for two years.
842
00:35:48,731 --> 00:35:50,566
You overturn that precedent...
Every dickhead on Wall Street
843
00:35:50,650 --> 00:35:52,527
would be swinging
from the chandeliers.
844
00:35:52,610 --> 00:35:53,736
Clear as day.
845
00:35:55,238 --> 00:35:57,240
You really are a maestro
with this stuff, aren't you?
846
00:35:57,323 --> 00:35:58,616
Thanks, Harvey.
847
00:35:59,784 --> 00:36:01,285
Night, Louis.
848
00:36:03,287 --> 00:36:04,705
Harvey, uh, wait.
849
00:36:05,581 --> 00:36:06,916
I, uh...
850
00:36:07,208 --> 00:36:09,836
I could really use your
advice on something personal.
851
00:36:09,919 --> 00:36:13,214
But I know how you feel
about infidelity, and...
852
00:36:13,881 --> 00:36:17,343
Louis, my feelings about that
have to do with me and me alone.
853
00:36:17,426 --> 00:36:19,178
I'm not gonna judge you
for making a different choice
854
00:36:19,262 --> 00:36:20,721
than I would.
I appreciate that.
855
00:36:23,641 --> 00:36:25,518
Because I had an affair
with Sheila.
856
00:36:26,269 --> 00:36:28,229
Somehow things
got out of control,
857
00:36:28,312 --> 00:36:31,357
and found myself in a fight
with her fiancé.
858
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,317
I went after his client,
859
00:36:33,401 --> 00:36:35,403
and I was about to
put him away.
860
00:36:37,405 --> 00:36:39,448
And now Sheila wants me
to tank it.
861
00:36:39,782 --> 00:36:42,493
Well, if you're asking
as managing partner,
862
00:36:42,577 --> 00:36:45,830
I'd say you better not tank a case
for a woman you're sleeping with.
863
00:36:45,913 --> 00:36:47,957
I'm not asking you as managing partner,
Harvey.
864
00:36:49,792 --> 00:36:51,460
I'm asking you as my friend.
865
00:36:52,461 --> 00:36:54,964
Then, my friend,
866
00:36:56,340 --> 00:36:59,427
I say sometimes we have
to sacrifice our business
867
00:36:59,510 --> 00:37:01,053
for the people we care about.
868
00:37:05,850 --> 00:37:07,602
Thanks for this.
869
00:37:17,486 --> 00:37:20,406
Let me guess.
You got here early to inform the panel
870
00:37:20,489 --> 00:37:22,241
you're removing yourselves
from the case.
871
00:37:22,325 --> 00:37:24,911
No, we got here early
to inform you that you are.
872
00:37:24,994 --> 00:37:26,537
And once again,
why would I do that?
873
00:37:26,621 --> 00:37:28,497
Because you hired
a shitty defense attorney
874
00:37:28,581 --> 00:37:31,417
for the sole purpose of getting
dirt on an outstanding judge.
875
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:33,294
Hiring a shitty lawyer
isn't against the law.
876
00:37:33,377 --> 00:37:36,547
No, but doing it so you can
set up a merger factory is.
877
00:37:36,631 --> 00:37:39,383
That's a great theory,
but you have no proof.
878
00:37:39,467 --> 00:37:41,344
Yes, we do. Right here.
879
00:37:41,427 --> 00:37:43,429
You signed all six of these
companies within the last year.
880
00:37:43,512 --> 00:37:46,641
And we've got signed affidavits from
each one of them saying that you
881
00:37:46,724 --> 00:37:49,602
approached them with an offer
to get their mergers through
882
00:37:49,685 --> 00:37:50,937
if they signed with you
in advance.
883
00:37:51,020 --> 00:37:52,688
HARVEY: Wasn't hard
once they realized
884
00:37:52,772 --> 00:37:54,774
this could rise to the level
of a criminal offense.
885
00:37:54,857 --> 00:37:57,276
MIKE: And conspiracy
to alter judicial rulings
886
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,779
is most definitely
a criminal offense.
887
00:37:59,862 --> 00:38:03,616
Which means if you don't
drop this thing right now,
888
00:38:03,699 --> 00:38:04,909
you'll end up in prison.
889
00:38:04,992 --> 00:38:06,410
MIKE: It's up to you.
890
00:38:06,494 --> 00:38:07,870
They're gonna be here
in five minutes.
891
00:38:15,419 --> 00:38:17,838
Louis,
what the hell is this?
892
00:38:18,297 --> 00:38:19,382
What does it look like?
893
00:38:19,465 --> 00:38:21,300
It looks like you let
this guy off the hook
894
00:38:21,425 --> 00:38:23,761
when you had him by the throat.
It's a fair deal, Katrina.
895
00:38:24,261 --> 00:38:25,388
Our client's
gonna be thrilled
896
00:38:25,471 --> 00:38:26,472
that they get paid
for an issue
897
00:38:26,555 --> 00:38:28,307
that they never even knew
existed in the first place.
898
00:38:28,391 --> 00:38:29,850
We didn't take this on
for the client.
899
00:38:29,934 --> 00:38:32,395
We did this for you.
Well, then do this for me.
900
00:38:32,478 --> 00:38:34,397
Louis.
God damn it, just do it!
901
00:38:35,940 --> 00:38:36,941
Oh.
902
00:38:38,943 --> 00:38:41,362
She asked you to do this,
didn't she?
903
00:38:41,445 --> 00:38:43,406
I can't say no to her,
Katrina.
904
00:38:45,533 --> 00:38:46,701
I just can't.
905
00:38:46,784 --> 00:38:48,619
You're a good man,
Louis Litt.
906
00:38:50,871 --> 00:38:54,417
And someday you will find
someone who appreciates that.
907
00:39:11,017 --> 00:39:12,518
I see you've brought along
a friend this time.
908
00:39:12,601 --> 00:39:14,020
Oh, she's not
just my friend.
909
00:39:14,103 --> 00:39:15,730
She's my lawyer.
Hmm. Let me guess.
910
00:39:15,813 --> 00:39:17,398
You brought her along
to withdraw your suit
911
00:39:17,481 --> 00:39:20,026
'cause you've finally figured out there's
no way to outsmart a man like me.
912
00:39:20,109 --> 00:39:23,029
No, she finally figured out
what makes a man like you tick.
913
00:39:23,112 --> 00:39:24,905
And what makes you tick
is being able to say
914
00:39:24,989 --> 00:39:26,907
to every woman you meet that
you own the best buildings
915
00:39:26,991 --> 00:39:28,951
in the cities
with the best views.
916
00:39:29,035 --> 00:39:30,870
Mmm. Because
if you can't say that,
917
00:39:30,953 --> 00:39:32,913
then people might notice
that you're really just
918
00:39:32,997 --> 00:39:34,749
an insecure little man
who builds buildings
919
00:39:34,832 --> 00:39:37,460
to cover up
his weaknesses.
920
00:39:38,669 --> 00:39:39,795
Get out of my office.
921
00:39:39,879 --> 00:39:41,672
Oh, we will, but if we do,
922
00:39:41,756 --> 00:39:43,466
those views that you covet,
they're going away.
923
00:39:43,549 --> 00:39:45,384
What are you talking about?
Oh, did you think
924
00:39:45,468 --> 00:39:47,094
I just came here to tell you
I know what makes you tick?
925
00:39:47,178 --> 00:39:48,888
We now control
the air rights
926
00:39:48,971 --> 00:39:51,682
across from six of your
most prominent properties.
927
00:39:51,766 --> 00:39:55,019
So instead of their
unobstructed views of the park,
928
00:39:55,102 --> 00:39:57,521
your top-floor tenants
will now be looking out
929
00:39:57,605 --> 00:40:00,483
at a 40-foot-high
box of tampons.
930
00:40:00,566 --> 00:40:01,859
What do you want?
931
00:40:01,942 --> 00:40:03,778
I think you know
what we want.
932
00:40:03,861 --> 00:40:06,489
You keep your lease as is.
DONNA: Not quite.
933
00:40:06,572 --> 00:40:08,908
We're gonna need you to reimburse
the cost of the air rights.
934
00:40:08,991 --> 00:40:10,910
And we'll take a 10% haircut
on our lease.
935
00:40:10,993 --> 00:40:12,536
I'd call you a name right now,
but I'm guessing
936
00:40:12,661 --> 00:40:13,704
you'd sue me.
DONNA: David, I really don't care
937
00:40:13,788 --> 00:40:15,164
what you call me right now
938
00:40:15,247 --> 00:40:16,916
because, like you said,
this isn't personal.
939
00:40:16,999 --> 00:40:18,084
It's just business.
940
00:40:20,002 --> 00:40:21,670
Here's our amended lease.
941
00:40:34,183 --> 00:40:36,102
Hey, how's it going?
942
00:40:36,185 --> 00:40:39,480
I just stopped by to tell
you that Judge Ralls called.
943
00:40:39,939 --> 00:40:41,941
She wanted to thank me.
That's great.
944
00:40:42,024 --> 00:40:45,152
Only problem with that is,
she called me five minutes ago
945
00:40:45,236 --> 00:40:47,655
and told me
the exact same thing.
946
00:40:49,698 --> 00:40:52,034
Want to tell me
what you're really doing here?
947
00:40:52,243 --> 00:40:54,161
Why'd you say
that stuff to Donna?
948
00:40:54,954 --> 00:40:56,622
Because I care about her.
949
00:40:58,207 --> 00:41:00,042
I didn't want her to go
through life not knowing.
950
00:41:01,877 --> 00:41:03,963
What about me?
What about you?
951
00:41:04,046 --> 00:41:06,173
Did you think what it would
do to my relationship?
952
00:41:06,257 --> 00:41:08,425
I guess I thought that if you
were that solid with Paula,
953
00:41:08,509 --> 00:41:09,510
it wouldn't matter.
954
00:41:09,593 --> 00:41:12,513
What if I went to Logan Sanders and
told him to go for it with Rachel?
955
00:41:14,223 --> 00:41:15,724
Here's the difference.
956
00:41:16,308 --> 00:41:18,185
I would hope that you wouldn't
be rooting for Rachel
957
00:41:18,269 --> 00:41:21,564
to be with him,
and you can get mad at me or not, but...
958
00:41:22,231 --> 00:41:25,401
Yeah, I guess maybe I was rooting
for Donna to be with you.
959
00:41:27,736 --> 00:41:29,155
Fair enough.
960
00:41:29,238 --> 00:41:32,616
I guess the truth is, right now,
I'm not looking to be with anyone.
961
00:41:41,083 --> 00:41:42,543
Donna, are you busy?
962
00:41:42,626 --> 00:41:44,920
I was actually just getting
ready to go home for the night.
963
00:41:46,172 --> 00:41:48,382
I was just wondering
if there's a reason why
964
00:41:48,465 --> 00:41:49,884
I just got a new lease
on my desk
965
00:41:49,967 --> 00:41:51,969
that's 10% less
than our last one.
966
00:41:53,137 --> 00:41:55,723
I just wanted to thank you
for keeping me.
967
00:41:57,808 --> 00:41:59,768
(CHUCKLES) What?
If I knew it'd make you
968
00:41:59,852 --> 00:42:01,020
do stuff like that,
969
00:42:01,103 --> 00:42:02,897
I'd consider firing you
more often.
970
00:42:02,980 --> 00:42:05,608
Well, then let's just consider
this a one-time thing.
971
00:42:09,570 --> 00:42:11,447
Before you go,
972
00:42:11,822 --> 00:42:13,532
want me to pour us a drink?
973
00:42:13,616 --> 00:42:16,702
What do you say we shake
things up and make it two?
974
00:42:42,937 --> 00:42:44,897
Sheila, what are you
doing here?
975
00:42:44,980 --> 00:42:46,732
I left Xander.
976
00:42:48,692 --> 00:42:49,860
What?
977
00:42:50,110 --> 00:42:52,279
I realized he's not
the one for me.
978
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,574
But I thought you loved him.
I don't.
979
00:42:55,658 --> 00:42:57,326
I love you.
980
00:42:58,327 --> 00:43:00,537
And I may have
forgotten it for a while.
981
00:43:00,788 --> 00:43:04,750
But in these last two weeks,
you've excited me,
982
00:43:04,833 --> 00:43:06,961
you've gone
to battle for me,
983
00:43:07,044 --> 00:43:09,296
and then
you sacrificed for me.
984
00:43:09,380 --> 00:43:11,173
But what about children?
985
00:43:12,174 --> 00:43:13,759
You think I can't
live without children...
986
00:43:13,842 --> 00:43:15,844
No, I didn't,
but then I thought,
987
00:43:16,220 --> 00:43:17,805
fate brought us
together, Louis.
988
00:43:17,888 --> 00:43:22,101
Why don't we let fate decide
whether or not we have children?
989
00:43:22,184 --> 00:43:24,103
I don't understand.
Louis,
990
00:43:24,186 --> 00:43:26,313
I threw away my diaphragm.
991
00:43:31,026 --> 00:43:32,152
You're pulling the goalie?
992
00:43:32,236 --> 00:43:34,488
(CHUCKLES)
Yes, Louis. I am.
993
00:43:36,448 --> 00:43:38,367
And I don't want to
role-play tonight.
994
00:43:38,450 --> 00:43:42,705
I just want to be Sheila
Sazs and Louis Litt.
995
00:43:44,039 --> 00:43:45,207
(CHUCKLES)
996
00:43:47,835 --> 00:43:49,295
Well, come on.
997
00:43:52,047 --> 00:43:53,382
Let's go inside.
