You know, there's got to be a story behind this key. Yeah. It's from one of your first cases. Or Mike, do me a favor, please. Just stop it, will you? Stop what? Stop asking questions and you already know the answers to just to stay here longer. Louis, I'm not You're not what? Examining me? Yes, you are. You're just making small talk while you look around the room to see if there are any sharp objects in the vicinity. That is not why I came here. Well, it wasn't to deliver a box of my [ __ ] Look, when I was drowning, you threw me a lifeline. Okay. Okay. Nice of you to say. And I appreciate you bringing over my things, but they're not exactly a lifeline. I heard about Boston. What'd you hear? That Harvey got you a job and you didn't even show up. Well, why would I when the love of my life rips out my heart and then stomps on it? Lewis, I'm just trying to help. Well, you can't. I told you you're too late to tell them an unemployed clown just sold them a pile of [ __ ] You mean the [ __ ] that you have to drop them as a client? The Fiser merger, FTC rule 10D6. They were not pleased that you kept them in the dark. You are a son of a [ __ ] Who's the clown now? You're a son of a [ __ ] I'm only taking one client that you're going to have to drop anyway. Least you could do is be a gentleman about it. A gentleman. I got you two jobs. Two jobs in Siberia. What a pity. I got you those jobs out of compassion. Just like when I fought for Jessica to not fire you in the first place. But when I take VersaLife back, it's going to be without any feeling for you at all. Well, good. I wanted to um thank you for setting up that meeting with Robert Zayn. I just hope you understand that if I had a choice, I never would have gone after Versal life, but I had no choice. Le took them back. What? But you had to drop them. Not anymore. We convinced them to sell their trial drug division. Of course, you drop a drain on their earnings, stock price goes right through the roof, and their market share falls below the threshold. But who the hell would buy it? Walter Gillis. Of [Music] course, Walter Gillis. Listen, listen. Mike, you won. You're a brilliant lawyer. You are a brilliant lawyer. I'm a brilliant lawyer who's never going to work again. Hey, stop. That is not true. [Music] Look, look, look at everything that you have. A Harvard law diploma, sumakum laudy, order of the qua. Those are the credentials of a Supreme Court justice. Yeah, adding two bucks will give me a seat on the subway. You know what, Lewis? It's been a long day. It's about to get longer. See, Mike asked me about this and I thought he was I thought he was trying to get my mind off of my problems, but then he did it again and it got me to thinking. Mike graduated magnaumi. He's in order of the qua, [Music] but he didn't recognize this. So, he forgot a stupid key. My Ross doesn't forget anything. See, the reason he didn't recognize this was because he never got one because he didn't go to Harvard. Lewis, we've been down this road before. Mike is in the Harvard database, but he's not in the yearbook. And according to his credit report, his address during his law school years was in New York. He even paid rent the first of the month in person. Well, I'm sure there's enough. Sit down. Last year, you told me not to tell Shill about Mike's file. You acted like you cared about me. You didn't give a [ __ ] about me. You cared about you and Harvey. No. And Mike and Jess. Louis, that's not true. Well, let's call Sheila right now. I know all of the numbers by heart. I mean, she may not be interested in me anymore, but she will definitely be interested in a fraud claiming that he went to Harvard. I'm sorry. [Music] You're sorry? You've been lying to me since the day Mike Ross arrived. [Music] I knew Harvey and Jessica never really accepted me, but I thought you were different. I thought you were my friend. I am your friend, Louis. No, you're not. And don't you ever say that to me again. Where are you going to see your friend Jessica? [Music] Lewis knows. [Music] Lewis, I know you're a stickler for the rules, so I figured I'd just come by to return my ID. You want an explanation? I want to see you per walk through the bullpen with your pretty little jacket draped over your handcuffs. But until then, yeah, I'll take an explanation. When I found out the truth about Mike Ross, it had already been done by Harvey right after he made senior partner over me. That's when he hired the fraud. That's the correct timeline, right? Yes. So instead of turning him in, you cover it up, Lewis. And the one time that I do something, you don't cover it up at all. You throw me to the wolves. I saved you from the wolves. I asked you for the smallest gesture just to allow my career to continue with dignity and you couldn't muster the tiniest shred of compassion. What do you want me to say? I want you to tell me you're a liar and a hypocrite. [Music] But I want you to say you're sorry. [Music] I am a liar [Music] and I am a hypocrite. But I will not say I'm sorry because I did what I did to protect this firm. Well, looks like the captain's about to go down with her ship. [ __ ] You want something? Oh, I told you. I want to see you in handcuffs. If that were true, the police would be here instead of you. No, you wanted to see me squirm before asking me for what you really want. [Music] I'm not going to give you the satisfaction, so you might as well spit it out. You asked me what I wanted once before and I told you. And then you told me that I couldn't have it, but now I can. [Music] Pearson Spectre Wit, I need a lawyer. Lewis's office is down the hall. I don't want Lewis. I want you. That's funny. The last time you saw me, you told me I wasn't fit to practice law in your ivory tower. What I told you was is that you'll sacrifice ethics for wins. And right now, I'm not in my ivory tower. And I need a win. I knew it. You're just like everybody else. The ends don't justify the means until it's your ass on the line. Do you think I like asking you for help? I think this Liberty Rail thing must have you by the balls. So, you know, I know after their train derailed, you were appointed to assess the victim's compensation formula. And I know after you did, some of those victims hired a lawyer and open an investigation. Then you also know they found nothing. Then the question is, why are you here? The TSA found $25,000 in my luggage the day I announced I was changing the formula. So now you're being accused of accepting a bribe, which I did not do. Well, good luck proving that, professor, because it won't be with my help. I was wrong about you, misters back there. I never thought that you wouldn't represent somebody just because you didn't like them. Well, you're wrong again. I don't like you, but I'm not representing you because you did something shady. And I'm not screwing over crash victims for the likes of you. You know I didn't do this. What I know is you showed yourself in, you could show yourself out. I agreed to meet. I was not just so you can tell me more about what a horrible person I am. I came here to tell you that I changed my mind. So, you admitted to yourself that I didn't do this? I've admitted to myself that you came to me because this case needs rule bending. And you're going to tell me why right now. The money. Yes, the money. If you aren't bribed, where the hell did you get that $25,000 from? You know where it came from. It's the same thing you tried to use to blackmail me last year. Let me get this straight. You have an explanation for the money that would get you out of this whole thing. But I can't use it. Where are you going? To get you out of this. Welcome to the real world, professor. We'll do it one more time, professor. How much money was in that pot? I'm tired of going over it. Why do we have to keep replaying every moment of this game? Because your entire case depends on it. My case depends on the fact that I won that money gambling, not whether I won it with a flush. Your case depends on the judge believing you. And if he finds any holes in your testimony that I gave you the names of everyone I knew at that game. But none of those men were there when you won that money. I can't help it if I didn't get the name of the guy I beat. Which is why your story needs to be rock solid. Okay, go ahead. So, I ask you again, professor, how much money was in the final pot? Roughly $12,000. And you won that hand. As I said before, I won and then I cashed out. And what did you have again? A queen high flush. And who did you beat? I told you I didn't get his name. Okay. So, what did he have? Two pair. Queens over sixes. Wait a second. You said before that the man next to you folded with two queens up and now this guy has two queens and you got a queen high flush. I said that the man next to me folded with two kings. No, you didn't. You heard me wrong. No, I didn't. Is this part of prepping me or are you accusing me of something? I'm trying to get your story to line up. My story does line up. Not to me it doesn't. Look, young man, if you're going to sit over there and call me a liar. I'm not calling you a liar, but if you say tomorrow what you said today, we're going to be in a lot of trouble because where I come from, there are only four queens in a deck. I said two kings, and I'm going to say that again tomorrow. So, you do your job and I'm going to do mine. [Music] He's lying. He's talking about Gerard's story about winning all that money playing poker is [ __ ] All right, slow down. What the hell happened? I did the math and the hands don't add up. What do you mean you did the math? I mean first he said that he drew a queen on Fort Street and then when I pressed him about it, he Wait a second. This conclusion is based on him recalling hands under cross-examination. Harvey, I got kicked out of Atlantic City for counting cards. I know this [ __ ] Doesn't mean he's lying. I got a little experience with that, too. And I'm telling you he was. Or maybe he's tired. Or maybe I'm right. Or maybe you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Why are you defending him? Because you asked me to. Look, Harvey, I'm not saying that he took a bribe. I'm just saying that he didn't get that money playing poker. Well, unless he admitted that, he's testifying tomorrow. Since when do you stick your head in the sand? Did he admit it? No, he didn't. But he screwed up the details and he shouldn't have because people who are telling the truth get it right and you know it. [Music] [Music] What's that? Jacks full of fours. I can see that. But why? Why is it staring you in the face? It's what I threw down the last time I won a huge hand. It was six weeks ago. And I can remember every hand that every player at that table had. Now, if you won money the other night, you'd remember it, too. I do remember. And as I explained to your associate, yeah, stop bullshitting me. Where the hell did that money really come from? Cuz if you don't tell me the truth, I'm canceling that hearing right now. It came from a student of mine. For what? In exchange for changing his grade. Jesus Christ. for $25,000. He was going to fail my class and that would have stopped him from getting an offer from You goddamn hypocrite. You preach about ethics and you do this. This is about ethics and you don't have any idea why I did it. I don't care why you did it. I care about what you're making me do because I'm not supporting perjury. Well, you tell me that you've never done anything worse. I knew it. You would do it for someone else, but not for me. You know what, professor? There's a small part of me that actually thought that you came to me because you thought I'm the best. But you just think I'll do whatever it takes to win. Isn't that what makes you the best? Get someone else to do your dirty work because I'm not supporting perjury. Louis, I got your note and I know that Norma's still out, but I really don't have time to. Norma's dead. What? She died this morning taking care of her sister. Oh, Louis, I'm so sorry. I You don't need to fake it, Donna. I'm not faking it. She was a sweet woman. She was a freaking battle axe is what she was. There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't want to rip out one of her varicose veins and strangle her with it. Okay. I don't think you're in touch with how you're really feeling right now. How I'm feeling is that she left me high and dry just like she always did. You expect her to keep working? Look at this. It's her entire estate laid out on paper. She could have managed my calendar, but this crapfest she plans within an inch of her life. And you want me to make sure these things are bequeathed properly. You could stuff them in a giant piñata for all I care. I have to go find the perfect earn to throw her ashes off the top of a building. She requested that? No, she wanted them to be in here with me. But like hell, I'm going to do that. Okay, Louis, I will take care of this for you, but you're not throwing her ashes anywhere without me. Okay, fine. Do you want me to smooth things over with Harvey for you? No. Harvey will be just fine on his own. You wanted to see me? Yes. Where have you been all day? Why? Is there something you want to talk about? Yeah. Where you've been. Sean Cahill was at my door last night. Norma passed away. I've been helping Lewis. Norma died. That's terrible. Thought you couldn't stand her. I couldn't. But I assumed Lewis loved her. So do what you need to do. Oh, because she was a secretary, he must have loved her. That's not what I meant. But it is what you said. Okay, Donna. What's wrong? How about we start with the fact that I have been wondering for the last 10 hours if you're going to acknowledge what happened last night, but you're you, so of course you're not. I'm not going to acknowledge it because nothing happened last night. Why? And don't tell me I know why. Because it would have been a mistake and you know it. What I know is something happened and you ran away, but not before you told me you love me. I did that because I wanted to make you feel better. What did you just say to me? That's not what I meant. I didn't say that. Because you pity me. Yeah, you did. No, I said it because I love you and I wanted you to know it. Love me how? Why does that have to come? Love me how? That's what I thought. You either can't answer or you won't, which is [ __ ] Because obviously you don't just look at me this way. You're capable of looking at me that way. But you don't want to let those worlds collide because you're afraid to risk anything because we have everything. No, Harvey, you have everything. So, you're saying you want everything? I don't know, Harvey. But what I do know is I don't want your pity. [Music] Lewis, I got your message. What's going on? What's going on is they're trying to screw me. I need you to be bad cop. What? Have you made a decision, sir? No, I haven't made a decision. You shyer dealer of death. Okay. I think maybe we're going to need another minute. No, we don't. I don't need another minute to see that this looks like a pot from Home Depot. This looks like a lab from Motel 6. And this looks like a goddamn Howitzer shell. You are lucky that I don't take this mockery of a final resting place and shove it up your ass. Louis, that's enough. No, it's not enough. I've been handling this [ __ ] for 2 days for a woman who's supposed to be handling things for me. Louis, this isn't about the earn. Oh, please don't give me that touchyfey [ __ ] And why the hell are you not being bad cop? Because that's not what's needed. Oh, [ __ ] It's not what's needed. Lewis, you don't care about me. You never cared about me. All you care about is yourself and your stupid sister and your humble figurines and your murder she wrote rerun. Yes, I'm not Norma. She's gone and it's going to be okay. She was a battle axe. She was my battle axe. I know. She didn't just leave me high and dry. She left me for good. I'm so sorry. It's okay. A lot of you don't know this, but the truth is I hated Norma. I hated her clogs, her mustache, her stupid seasonal sweaters. But the thing I hated most about her was her favorite story about how Apota asked her to marry him in 1975. I mean, we get it. You were hot. You turned him down. And it was the biggest regret of your life. And like everything you've ever said, I couldn't stand it at the time. But now that you're gone, I understand what you meant. Don't let the moment pass. Don't let the people you love walk by you without letting them know how you feel about them, because life slips by and then it's over. And I'm not going to let another minute pass me by without letting you know how much you mean to me. [Music] I love you, Norma. Thank you, Louis. It was a lovely ceremony. [Music] That was beautiful. Louis couldn't have done it without you. No, that's not true. Yeah, it is. I couldn't even see how I felt without you showing me. And the truth is, Donna, you know me better than I know myself. Like I said, Harvey has no idea how lucky he is to have you. [Music] Hey, just the person I was looking for. You heard? I heard that I just booked the plane ticket to Boston to surprise Sheila and I need you to cover the McBain hearing tomorrow. Louis, the McFane hearing is the least of our worries. What do you mean? Harvey went to court this morning and agreed to hand over every single document on the Gillis takeover, including Forceman. What? Why? Because he thinks we have nothing to hide. [ __ ] Then it's only a matter of time before I'm marched out of here in handcuffs. I'm not going to let it come to that. Oh, how the hell are you going to stop it? By replacing one document with another. I am not framing Harvey. This isn't framing Harvey. It's freeing you. What are you talking about? This makes it look like Forceman's payment never went to any offshore accounts and that you never took a piece of it. No, that's forgery, which is less of a crime than what you did. [Music] I didn't ask you to do this. Then don't use it. But you're the one who said that if we give them those files, it's only a matter of time. Louis Cahill's looking for dirt on Harvey and Mike, not you and Forceman. He won't even give this a second glance. But if he does, it puts Harvey in jeopardy, and I might as well have framed him, just like Forceman wanted me to. Then you have a decision to make because they're turning everything over first thing tomorrow. [Music] [Music] What's wrong with you? You look like you just saw a ghost. I feel like I did. I think we have a problem. What do you mean? We just took step number one to finally putting this Kahill [ __ ] behind us. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't think it is behind us. What? I don't know what Lewis did, but I think he did something wrong. What are you talking about? When he came to me yesterday, he was chomping at the bit to help fight Cahill. That's Lewis. He take a bullet for this firm. You know that. Then why did he immediately change his tune after I told him that Logan was only releasing our communications? He seemed relieved. He seemed ecstatic. And before that, he was pissed that I was working on your stuff until he found out it was to fight Cahill. What exactly are you thinking he might have done? I don't know exactly, but I think he cut some sort of deal with Forceman. He did cut a deal with Forceman. I'm talking about an illegal deal. Mike, I know Forceman's a snake, but this is Lewis you're talking about. Yeah, I know. But you weren't there when he made me that offer. I'd never seen him like that. He was desperate to keep me from working for that man. And then on top of that, I found out what he gave up to get me back here, Sheila. But why would he care about us handing over everything if he didn't care about the communications between us? Because if he did make a dirty deal with Forceman, it wouldn't have been in those documents. It would have been in the other documents. the documents we just told the court we're happy to turn over. What are you going to do? I'm going to find out what the hell Lewis did. Go home. Mike, what's going on? Lewis, I want you to tell Harvey exactly what you just told me or I will. He doesn't have to. He made a dirty deal with Forceman. Harvey, I can explain. Explain what? Did you put the firm in jeopardy all because you had to be the hero? I didn't do it to be the hero. I didn't even know I was going to do it at all. What? The deal was closed and you were so happy we won. Then I went back that night. Forceman said if I didn't funnel the money overseas, the deal was off. So I did it. There's more. How do you know there's more? Because with Forceman, there's always more. [Music] He made me take a million dollars out of the deal so I couldn't turn on him later. Jesus Christ. I had no choice. [ __ ] You had no choice. You could have said no at any goddamn point along the way. But you didn't because all you cared about was yourself. Okay. If I care about myself so much, how come I'm in here telling you that I'm going to confess? You want to confess? Be my guest. Harvey, that's enough. Lewis, the problem with that is that we're innocent. Cahill's plan is to throw mud against the wall and see what sticks. You tell him about what you did and all of a sudden everything sticks. Okay. But I have to do something to help. You will when the time comes. Right now, I need to talk to Harvey. I can't believe you're taking this as well as you are. I'm not taking this well at all. Then what the hell are you being so nice to him for? Did you hear? He was going to confess. I had to calm him down. So, you're not going to stand by him? Stand by him? The second this thing is over, I'm going to fire his goddamn ass. What happened? Thought you had a date. I canceled it and I asked you a question. I don't want to talk about it because I know what you're going to say. Harvey, I don't even know what exactly Lewis did. He broke the law to close forcemen. He broke it or Forceman made him break it. What's the goddamn difference? You don't have to say it, Donna. I've heard it a thousand times. Lewis only did this to get my approval. And you know what? I don't give a [ __ ] that I agreed to be his best man. He put you, me, and every one of us in jeopardy to get what he wanted. Well, I was going to say that, but instead I'll say this. You put us all in jeopardy, too. When the hell did I do that? The day you hired Mike. And by the way, I'm guessing he wouldn't even be back here if Lewis hadn't done what he did. Then tell that to Jessica, cuz when it's over, she's going to fire him. [Music] They keep this place open late for you. Ownership has its privileges. What do you want, Harvey? I want you to undo the dirty deal you made with Lewis Lit. Dirty deal doesn't sound like me at all. How does prison sound? Because the SEC is going to get a record of the [ __ ] you pulled tomorrow morning. There is no record cuz I didn't do anything. Lewis Lip came to me and he's the one who embezzled mine. And your grudge isn't with Lewis, it's with me. So let him go. Live to fight me another day. If I let him off, I let you off. And I don't think I want to do that. Then you're forcing me to turn you in for what you did 12 years ago. No way. You're not going to do that because you did it, too, pal. But if you did it to Lewis and you did it to me, you did it to a hundred others. And if you don't do what I'm asking, I'll just have to find the one in a hundred that's in a position to turn on you. I'll take my chances, Harvey. Now, get out of my face. Let me finish my cigar in peace. Lewis, where the hell have you been? Those documents are on their way over. Katrina, relax. Relax? The last time I saw you, you were worried about going to prison. What did you decide to do? I went to Harvey and Jessica and I told him everything. What? Jessica said that I made a mistake and they're working on a way out. Louis, have you seen any mafia movie ever made? I mean, I'm not really a fan of the genre. I find it to be a little offensive to Italian. Shut up and listen. She's telling you to your face she'll let you live, but behind your back she's making plans to whack you. Holy [ __ ] I'm letting them borrow time. Unless you fix this. Because if you don't, even if Jessica manages to keep you out of prison, she'll be coming to fire you. Usually people don't start by washing their hands. Usually people aren't here to talk about Lewis. Donna, Jessica, he made a mistake. Mistake implies that he did something by accident. Lewis made a choice. And you're making the choice to fire him when this is over. And how the hell is that any of your business? I just thought if Lewis could help get you out of it. Help get me out of it. He's the one that got me into it. And if this were Harvey, you'd let him try to make up for it. And if this were Harvey, I'd have the confidence that he would. Jessica, Lewis did all of this because he is dying for your approval. You never have confidence in him, and you never treat him the way you treat Harvey. So this is my fault. I'm saying Harvey's made mistakes and you've forgiven him. I've made mistakes and you've forgiven me. You're right, Donna. You did make a mistake once and I did forgive you. But first, I fired you. And if you don't back off me right now, I will do it again. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a deposition to get to. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music]
