What the hell did you do? >> This is a good deal. >> A good deal that costs every partner at this firm $100,000. >> Including me. You share the profits. You share the losses. >> There won't be a loss when I win this at trial. >> The only reason you weren't willing to settle was Harvey's disparment. That's gone. >> And I want to know how you made it go away. >> I found dirt on Tanner. >> What dirt? >> You blackmailed him into a settlement. >> I leveraged a deal that's good for the firm. >> I said what dirt? >> Not your concern. >> It's my concern. I don't want what you did biting me in the ass. >> You are already bitten. And the last time I crossed the line and you found out about it, it bit me in the ass. You cleared Harvey's name inside the firm. We both know that's what you wanted. Time to move on. Let's let the partners put this to a vote. [Music] Harbin got Tanner to settle. >> Are you kidding? >> It worked. >> So, it was your idea to use dirt to get a deal? >> No, it was my idea to use Tanner against Tanner. Box me. >> You're welcome. >> I didn't thank you. >> It's okay. You don't have to. And I'm not going to cuz we're not taking the deal [Music] because you don't trust Daniel. >> This isn't just about me. Every partner. >> Everybody is paying now. Do you have any idea why Donna showed up to testify? Because I convinced her to. >> What? >> Yeah. I made her do what I needed instead of what she wanted. I did what you do. And look where that's gotten us. You, me, Jessica, Lewis, everybody. Take the deal. Harvey, >> what did Hardman find in those files? >> I don't know. And I don't care because he just got every single one of us off the hook. >> He can't be trusted. And you should know that by now. >> What I know is that if you take this thing to trial, it's going to cost us all a hell of a lot more than money. And if you don't know that by now after all this, then I don't think I should be the one learning from you. [Music] This is your decision. So, by a show of hands, those in favor of settling. Thank you. Now, all those in favor of going to trial, split vote. And it appears we have a hold out. >> I vote. We settle. Let the record show we have settled. >> Thank you for your time. >> In light of recent events, there is one other issue I'd like to raise. This lawsuit has caused some of you to question Jessica's judgment and by extension her leadership. Allowing this kind of dissension to fester hurts the entire firm. Therefore, I am calling a partners meeting at which point we will vote. Either Jessica will retain her position as managing partner or I will resume control of Pearson Hartman. >> Follow the money. >> Let's hear it. >> Lewis Lit is the man we're looking for. Are you sure? >> I told you I followed the money, which by the way, he's been spending left and right. >> You're talking about the braces. >> $15,000. Not to mention the Hudson Racket Club. Who knows what else? >> That club cost $60,000 a year. >> What are you going to do? >> I'm going to break him down. I'm going to crack him open. >> Want to see me? >> I did. >> Well, if this is about Norma, truth be told, we can do a lot better. >> This isn't about Norma. Fretel, how can your newest junior partner be of service today? >> Fretel, you can pray. Tell me how the hell you got the nerve to stand in front of my face after what you did. >> I couldn't help it. All those late nights, your fibers are so tantalizing. What? >> I fell asleep on your couch just once because it's so damn soft. >> Not the topic of this conversation. >> Is this about my MySpace profile? Because I can take that down. >> Okay, fine. You got me. I've copied the complete works of Shakespeare and I charged to those bastards at CM. I regularly rate Harvey's liquor and I've taken every raspberry brand bar from the kitchen that we've ever bought. I need to know where Stanley gets them. enough. >> Well, should I just what? Pack my things. >> Not necessary. >> Thank you, Jessica. Thank you for your mercy, >> Louis. >> Yeah. >> You will replace every one of those goddamn brands. >> Yes. And I promise not to walk barefoot in the library ever again. Ouch. Okay. [Music] Next time you bring me a name, make goddamn sure it's the right one. >> I followed the money. >> You got lost on the way. >> You saying Lewis was framed? >> I'm saying you the bed. I gave you a job to do and you promptly asked for a seat at the table. You want to sit with the grown-ups? Do your job like a man? >> It's Daniel Hartman. >> What? >> He's been playing a shell game. He's moving money out of one account and into another for an entire year. Your partner sold you out. >> Daniel has never done anything unethical. And the fact that you don't like him isn't reason to falsely accuse him. I'm not. >> You falsely accused Lewis. >> I stake my career on this. >> You are. >> He did it. >> He did. >> You have to go to the DA. >> I'm going to Daniel. >> Who's not doing their job like a man now? >> I'm giving him the courtesy of explaining himself. >> You shouldn't. >> What would you do if it were me? >> Something I can help you with. >> You can help me understand why you've been stealing from our clients. Jessica, I can >> Oh, god damn it, Daniel. >> It was for Alicia. She's dying. >> What? >> Breast cancer. Stage four. >> Why didn't you say anything? >> She found a lump a year ago. Was the worst day of our lives. I have no words. >> I thought I could handle it myself. [Music] >> And the money. >> Treatments not covered by insurance. >> Why not? >> They're not in the books. But I don't care. She's not dying because I didn't spend the money. >> You stole half a million dollars. I don't expect you to forgive me. >> What do you expect? >> I honestly don't know. >> Are you crazy? >> Did you hear me? His wife's dying of cancer. >> So, you're going to let him walk? >> No. Nobody's walking. The firm's taking out a loan against its assets. Daniel will pay it back. >> Great. My dad has gout. Can I have a million dollars? Oh, >> you cold-hearted son of a You know those Tuesday lunches at the Harvard club? He's taking Alicia to chemo. >> He stole from our clients, which means he's stealing from us. When it was Lewis, you were ready to break him down and crack him open. >> Daniel is the reason why I'm here. He plucked me from the bullpen when I didn't know my ass from my elbow. >> He saw a star to hitch his wagon to. >> This is Manhattan, Harvey. How many black women do you see with their name on the door? >> You know what? He was smart to put your name first. That way, you might not notice that you'd always be number two. >> Careful, Harvey. Well, then again, maybe you're okay staying number two. Scotty Pippen, >> don't pull that on me. >> We made a deal and I honored it. It's time for you to honor it. >> Wow. Man's wife's dying and the first words out of your mouth are, "You owe me." Who's the bad guy now? [Music] Who is it? >> Rub service. >> What are you doing here? >> Delivering champagne. I see you can afford it since the money you've been stealing from our clients hasn't been going to your wife's cancer treatments. Hey, Monica. How's it going? >> Harvey. >> Daniel and I need a minute. Letter of resignation. You're going to sign it, then name Jessica as your successor. >> I don't think so. >> Unflinching in the face of defeat. >> It's not defeat. >> You come after me for embezzlement, every Pearson Hardman client you've got is gone. >> Which is why Jessica won't let me do that. >> Then why are you here? >> Waiting for your wife. >> What are you talking about? >> She's invited to a fundraiser. She'll be at the front desk in 3 minutes. You don't sign, they'll send her up to this room. You do sign, they'll send her to another room. >> You dragged a woman racked with cancer here to blackmail me. >> You think it's me she's going to have issue with? >> You goddamn bastard. >> Says the man cheating on his dying wife. >> You don't know anything. >> I do. I've seen you with her and I know you love her. And this has nothing to do with that. I also know that you don't want the rest of Alicia's life spent picturing this. Now, if she wasn't sick, she could probably get over it. She's not getting any better, Daniel. You have two minutes. It's your call. Was a saxophone player. He sat in with everybody because everybody loved him. He believed in love at first sight. Unfortunately, his first sight was a groupy, your mother. I was 16 when I caught her cheating. I knew if I told my dad he'd next two years went by, I didn't say a thing and she went right on just making him a fool. Look, this is all to say that I lived in a house surrounded by family, but I know what it's like to be totally alone. Wow. Your stoned is depressing. You should never share your feelings ever again. But not with me. >> Can I say it's been a tough week for both of us? >> Hard moon. >> Oh, what I wouldn't give to piss in that bastard's office. >> It's pretty quick off the tongue. >> I've done it before to Lewis. >> No way. Way. >> Wait a minute. If you've done that before, why not do it again? >> Okay, let's go. >> No, no, no, no. >> It's not right. >> It's not right. I drank three Gatorades on the way here. I'm going to pee orange. It's right. >> No. What? >> If we're going to do something, it needs to be original. >> Orange. You know what? I know what we're going to do. >> I'm going to get the can opener. >> Are you serious right now? You're not messing with me. You're finally going to tell me what you do with that can opener. >> Do I look serious? >> You look stoned. >> I am, but I never joke about the can opener. >> Come on. >> Let's go. Let's go. Come on. Okay. Go. Go. All right. >> Harvey Spectre has refused to take a mandatory drug test, leaving me no choice but to terminate his employment. As is his right, he's requested a hearing to dispute this. >> Thank you, Daniel. But I'm not here to dispute anything. After all, I was high. I was high because I was being forced to work for you. >> A man who, it turns out, knew CM was negligent before I ever even took the case. >> Uh, this is not the time. >> Shut up, Louis. >> Don't do this. If you go, I go. >> Do you deny knowing about the defects >> unequivocally? >> And you deny writing this memo, sending it to Tanner, knowing that he would come after this entire firm? That's why he settled because you told him it wouldn't hold up. >> Well, it's wild conjecture and it's >> Why'd he settle? >> He settled because I did what I do. >> That is not an answer. >> Yes, it is. This ends here. The two of you have now slandered me, which violates the morality clause of the partner's agreement. >> It's not slander if it's the truth. >> Unfortunately, you don't have a shred of evidence because the evidence doesn't exist. >> Well, actually, it does. This is a partners only meeting. >> So, have Tanner sue me. But in the meantime, I think the rest of the partners are going to want to see this. It's a signed affidavit from Lawrence Kemp stating that he told Daniel Hardman about the defects in the CM Hood 6 years ago. May 7th was the date of that meeting per your calendar to be exact. You just denied knowing anything about that unequivocally. I guess you were just lying to cover up the fact that you were behind this entire suit in the first place. >> Is that the basis of this? A coerced lie from a man trying to say, "My lawyer made me do it." >> No way that holds up in court. >> Doesn't have to. >> Just has to make these Harvard educated lawyers understand that you made each and every one of them spend $100,000 of their own money to buy you control of my firm. >> I think we've heard all we needed to hear. Harvey has admitted to violating the drug policy. All those in favor of his dismissal. Looks like you lost. I'm glad you brought up the bylaws. Fraudulently suing your own firm is grounds for firing. >> You have no proof of that. >> All those in favor of Daniel Hardman's dismissal. Hey, Harvey. I know I'm not a partner, but do you mind if I go ahead? Nice. >> Daniel, that $3 million of our money you've spent on yourself. Consider your partnership bought out. >> What was really on that affidavit anyway? >> What I said was on it. >> You realize it's a felony to sign someone else's name to a sworn document. >> I didn't sign someone else's name. I signed my own name. I mean, seriously, how often do you really look at a man's shoes? [Music] To the firm of Pearson and kiss my ass. >> I told you we'd be killing him off the wall. >> You go, I go. >> He goes. [Music] >> I already went and came back. You're married. >> I am. And you called me anyway. >> I did. So, we're clear. I don't consider anything bought out. >> Too bad, cuz the only way you're getting another penny is through litigation. We may not have proof now, but we will. This comes out at trial. You'll never practice again. >> Sign this confidentiality agreement. I'll wave my claim. One time off for a ticket or leave it. >> For the record, I wasn't the one who made the first move. Harvey was. >> Yeah, you made your first move 5 years ago. >> Maybe. But someday he'll make the first move on you. >> Goodbye, Daniel. [Music] You're going to throw something at me? I'll go. [Music] >> Don't kid yourself that this is the last page of the story. [Music] >> Monica deserve to get fired. >> The eight women I'm going to stack the jury with might disagree with that. >> Not once they learn she was sleeping with you while you were embezzling from this firm. >> And how exactly are they going to learn that? >> One of the three people in this room is going to tell them. I'm guessing it won't be you. >> I'm afraid it won't be one of you either. >> You going to kill us? Oh, I won't need to. You're bound by the confidentiality agreement Jessica signed the night I left. >> All knowledge of any activity of Daniel Hart. >> I know what it godamn says. >> You signed it so quickly I wasn't sure. >> Fine. I know a shakedown when I see one. What do you want? >> It's not what I want. It's what Monica wants. >> And what is that? >> Payback. You see, when Mike Ross brought that trumped up suit to her, she was very upset. It brought back the memory of what you did to her. I didn't do to her. >> That wasn't how she saw it. >> Yet, you didn't lift a finger to help her. >> I wanted to at the time, but I couldn't very well attack my own firm, now could I? >> Never stopped you before. >> Touche, but you can't mention that either. >> We're done. Harvey, will you escort this piece of filth out of the building? Make sure he doesn't commit any crimes on the way out. >> You said my client's dismissal was due to a variety of factors, and then you said it wasn't the affair. All right. It wasn't job performance. So, I ask you, what was it? Is it a personal dislike? Are you jealous of her? >> Or do you just hate other women? >> Tread lightly, Daniel. >> Let's try some questions your client can answer. Were you in a relationship at the time of my client's dismissal? >> Excuse me. >> Jessica Pearson's personal life is not an issue here. >> I beg to differ. And since your client can't seem to find her words today, I for one can testify that she was not in a relationship at the time. She's always been married to her job and she wants her female associates to be equally committed so that as soon as they have anything else in their lives, in other words, sex, she cuts them loose. >> This is bull. >> Then tell me differently. >> We're done here. >> The truth is Monica was younger than you, prettier than you, sexually active, and of childbearing age. All of the things you are not, and you fired her for it. There's been a lot of talk about the affair you had while at Pearson Hardman. I have just one question. Who is that affair with? >> I never said I had an affair. >> Your lawyer said you did. >> Your people said it was irrelevant. >> I didn't. And it's not. And I have a lot of questions about it. >> Which we won't be answering. >> Well, you'll have to in court. >> We're not in court. >> No, but you are on the record. But since you don't want to answer the question, let me ask you another question. If you didn't have an affair, then what reason could there possibly be for you to be fired? >> Because I was being harassed, and I made it clear I didn't like it. >> Harassed by who? >> Don't answer that. >> Oh, no. My client is going to answer the question that your associate asked, and we're going to get some things on the record right here. >> We're done. >> I was being harassed by Louisis Lit. >> What? >> Go on, Monica. He asked me out repeatedly after I rebuffed him again and again. He would stare at me, wait at the elevator, outside my office, the diner, everywhere. >> Anything else? >> Yes, he was a partner and I had to say no to him and it made me feel disgusting every single day. >> Would people corroborate your account? >> It was common knowledge within the firm. Any number of people knew, including him. >> Let the record show that my client indicated Harvey Spectre. Monica, I have one more question for you. To whom did Jessica tell you to hand in your resignation? >> Lewis Lit. >> So, in conclusion, you were being sexually harassed. It was well known. Jessica Pearson dismissed you and you were actually told to hand in your resignation to the very man who did the harassing. >> Yes, that statement is entirely true. >> Thank you, Monica. Gentlemen, [Music] rebuffed again and again. [Music] She felt disgusted. Common knowledge, >> Louis, >> she pointed at you. >> That doesn't mean No, no, no, no. You used to tease me about her. Remember how I used to stare at her? I was teasing. This is They're twisting everything. >> They are. >> He is. Drink your drink. I just wanted to apologize to you both for yesterday. >> It was a good idea. Just didn't have the right execution. >> What are you saying? >> I'm saying it was a good idea, but the questions were being asked of the wrong person. >> There's no court reporter here. >> I thought you might want to talk off the record. >> If you ask me anything about embezzlement, I'll deny it. If you bring any proof forward, it's a violation of our non-disclosure. That's why we won't be asking you about your investment. We'll be asking you about your affair with Monica. >> And if you lie about that, we won't be the ones who need to come forward with proof >> because we found six people working at the hotel who are willing to provide it. >> No, you didn't. >> Room service, concierge, housekeeping. >> It really should tip better, Daniel. >> Maybe you want a cigarette. Reminds you of the woman you cheated on. Go ahead. Ask your questions. >> Did you have an affair with Monica Eaton while you were employed at Pearson Hardman? >> Yes, I did. Any other questions? >> I think we're good. >> Yeah, you got me to embarrass myself. But you already did that the day you told everyone in the office about my affair with Monica. You and you. Yeah, I know what you told Monica about Jessica not knowing, but take a good look. She was behind it. Who needs a cigarette now? [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music]
