Rules Of The Game
Are you watching me? Do I look dashing? Nobody says "dashing.
" James Bond says "dashing.
" You think you're James Bond? I could be James Bond.
I've got Connery's swagger.
Definitely Daniel Craig's physique.
Lazenby's I have no idea what he's known for.
You okay? I had an interesting conversation with Louis last night.
He said I should be careful of you and Rachel.
Do I have anything to worry about? No.
He hates me.
And he's just trying to get to me through you.
So you never No.
You've got nothing to worry about.
She's just a friend.
Okay.
And I am late.
I'll call.
Okay.
We should go out.
I thought this is going out.
No, I mean, um You and me and Rachel should go on a double date.
Does she have a boyfriend? I don't know.
No.
I mean Going on a double date with somebody from work might be kind of Weird.
If I get to know her, then I won't worry.
It will be fun.
Just a couple of friends going out, right? Awesome.
A cab? Someone steal your bike? I have a lot on my mind.
It's a safety issue.
What are you talking about? Louis.
He told Jenny about Rachel and me.
It was one kiss, and she kissed me.
I Okay, Soap Opera, just give me my documents.
How the hell are you? It's good to see you.
Wow.
Too damn long.
Cameron Dennis, District Attorney.
Meet Mike Ross, my associate.
Hi.
I guess that makes you his Harvey.
Sorry? Harvey was my associate.
I taught him everything he knows.
Best ADA to come up since Me.
You taught him.
"Never go to court.
" That's me.
"It's not about caring, "it's about winning.
" Me.
No way.
Harvey's Harvey.
Yeah.
Exactly.
We should, uh, catch up.
Have lunch.
Hey, you know what? This is crazy.
I'm free for dinner tonight.
Just cancel whatever you have and tell Jessica I demanded that you clear your schedule.
Dinner it is.
It will be nice.
That's my boy.
All right.
You know where to find me.
8:00.
Glad I ran into you, Harvey.
It's pretty good work.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ross, you still work here? Funny.
You know, because I thought, after I beat you Yeah.
I got it.
Thanks for expediting.
Yeah.
Hi.
Hi.
Do you need something? Did you know that Harvey, uh, was a prosecutor? No, he wasn't.
Yeah.
He was.
I've read every bio at the firm.
People work for the DA's office, it's on their bio.
Well, we ran into Cameron Dennis this morning.
The DA? Yeah.
He says that Harvey's the best ADA he's ever had.
No.
Come here.
See? Nothing about being a prosecutor.
Yeah.
I need you to go on a double date with me and Jenny.
Yeah.
Not going to happen.
You have to.
Listen to me.
Louis warned her.
About you and me.
What How did he even get You know how.
Because he walked in right after you kissed me.
If you say no, she's going to think something is going on between us.
Okay.
I'll go.
Thank you.
Freaking Louis.
Oh Is this Harvey? Okay, you are definitely sending me that photo.
Westlaw lists him as prosecutor of record on pages and pages of cases.
I told you.
I don't get it.
Why wouldn't he have this on his bio? Because, maybe he has something to hide.
See the money, wanna stay for your meal Get another piece of pie for your wife Everybody wanna know how it feel Everybody wanna see what it's like I'll even eat a bean pie I don't mind Me and missy is so early Busy, busy making money All right! All step back I'm 'bout to dance The greenback boogie "It touches some idealistic core of your being "where even the greatest cynic has not given up hope.
"That's why we listen to music.
" Oh, that's beautiful, Louis.
Really.
And I think your decision to leave law to become a music critic is in everyone's best interest.
Okay.
I was quoting Peter Sellars.
I just got $1,000 a head tickets to Nixon in China.
Are you two dating now? Should I come back? Sit down, Harvey.
I love it when you talk to me like my third grade teacher, Mrs.
Coe.
Gentlemen.
Malcolm Price died last week.
Truly great loss for humanity.
You want to mock the dead? Fine.
But his tabloid, Nothing But The Truth, has made us a fortune.
Price has left his estate, including the tabloid, to his two daughters, Madison and Kelsey.
We have been asked to divide the assets up fairly.
And I'm here why? Because they hate each other.
Malcolm structured the will to bring them back together.
You have a knack for bringing parties together who don't see eye to eye.
So why is he here? Because Madison Price requested him.
You sure she's not mixing him up with me? Hardman had me do some contract work for her a couple of years back.
So I guess I made an impression.
Right.
So you each get a sister.
You think pitting us against each other is fair to Louis' client? Please.
Dividing financial assets? You couldn't shine my shoes.
Someone should.
Well, actually, I personally shine my own shoes.
So there you go.
Well, lucky them.
How come you always ask Donna, "Donna, by the way, "those are really nice shoes that Louis has on.
" Gentlemen.
We're on the same side.
And although I would not choose to have you both on this, that is how it fell.
So I expect you to put your differences aside and work together on this, so that everyone can be happy.
Can you manage that this time? She's always hated me.
Well, maybe this is a chance to put all that behind you.
I'd like that.
Really, I would.
But Maddie I don't think so.
Maybe she'll surprise you.
Kelsey's a bitch.
She doesn't deserve any of it.
Well, I'm afraid your father didn't share that point of view.
According to his will, we were meant To find a division of these companies that makes both of you happy.
But I want to make sure that That you're happy.
You want to know what will make me happy? Whatever makes her miserable.
It's simple.
I want Nothing But The Truth.
My father and I worked together on it for years and It made me crazy.
The two of them pretending that tabloid was literature.
It means everything to me.
All I want is To sell off that piece of garbage and for her to get as little as possible.
What made her so mad at you? She blames me for our dad leaving her mother and marrying mine.
How can she think that's your fault? Because her mother got pregnant, and used it to rope in my dad.
And then, little Kelsey became the center of his universe.
Do you know what's it's like to have someone hate you out of pure jealousy? We'll get you the paper.
Do you know what it's like? To watch someone else get all the attention, when you know that you're twice the person they are? She's not getting that paper.
Maddie.
Kelsey.
Louis.
Harvey.
Doctor.
Doctor.
Chevy.
Nice.
Good meeting? Yeah, we connected.
You? We're on the same page.
Hmm.
What was, uh, Kelsey looking for? I don't know.
Why don't you ask Jenny? You seem to like talking to her.
No, Mike, that's not distracting.
I was just waiting.
For what? To not be distracting.
How come Harvey doesn't talk about working for the DA's office? Who told you that? Cameron Dennis.
We ran into him this morning.
They're having dinner.
So, that's why he wouldn't tell me where he was going.
What's going on, Donna? Let it go.
Don't ask Harvey about this.
What's the big secret? It's no secret, just Don't.
And what are we talking about? The Price sisters.
Those girls.
Do we really have to play nice with Louis? I want to crush him.
You want to crush him? Get over to the paper, kick the tires, and figure out what it's worth.
I thought we were supposed to use the independent valuations.
What? You think he's going to play by the rules? I know he won't.
That's why you better be three steps ahead of him.
Because I can guarantee you, Louis will be two steps ahead of you.
Speak of the devil.
Her majesty's here to see you.
I heard that.
You were meant to.
Gentlemen.
Your highness.
Okay.
You know what? That's exactly why I'm here.
To be mocked? No.
To set clear ground rules to keep the negotiation aboveboard.
Absolutely.
No kicking, no biting, and no rabbit punches.
And now, you're mocking the ground rules.
No, I'm just mocking you.
Point one.
We both agree to use the independent valuations.
Absolutely.
Good point.
Point two.
You do not call Jessica in to mediate.
This is you and me.
You afraid mom's going to take my side? No, I know mom's going to take your side.
Because I'd be right.
Point three.
Chinese wall.
You can't access any internal documents that I create.
Let's make Jessica proud.
We do this right, everyone walks away happy.
Wonderful.
Don't worry.
We'll still crush him.
I heard that.
You were meant to.
Care to make a wager? Our job is to make both sisters happy.
How do we know who wins? We'll know.
Usual amount? No.
I think we should change it up this time.
I win, I get Mike.
You can't bet me like I'm chattel, Louis.
It's not like he's going to win.
One month.
Ten days.
Harvey.
Two weeks.
Nine days.
Harvey! All right.
You know what? Fine.
Ten days.
And in return? Well, that's tough.
Because anything you have, I wouldn't want.
What, uh You're going to bet me for nothing? Harvey? Harvey Specter.
Alexandra Leeds.
I hear you're working for the Attorney General's office.
And you're fighting for the oppressive capitalists.
Winning for the oppressive capitalists.
Good for you.
We should have lunch.
Catch up.
Who told you I was coming here tonight? No one.
I haven't seen you in five years.
You want to catch up? You want something from me.
And it isn't lunch.
I want to talk about Cameron Dennis.
Six feet.
Pisces.
Wavy hair.
I'm serious.
I haven't worked for Cameron in over a decade.
What's there to talk about? The Attorney General's investigating allegations that he systematically buried evidence to get convictions.
So, talk to people who actually work with the guy.
Yeah, that's the problem.
He's still their boss.
Nobody is talking.
Neither am I.
Over lunch or anywhere else.
So, best of luck.
Harvey.
I was hoping for some lunch.
I'm having you subpoenaed.
To testify before a grand jury.
Enjoy your dinner.
Give Cameron my best.
Hey.
Harvey.
Glad you could make it.
How are you? Tell me about the bullshit run-in that you staged this morning.
How long did you have to wait so that you could pretend to be surprised to see me? Ten minutes.
You're never early, but I didn't want to cut it too close.
Well, I also just had another little run-in with Alexandra Leeds.
You really want to drag me into this? Calm down, Harvey.
I'm not dragging you into anything.
They're dragging me into this.
It's election year nonsense, and I wanted to warn you.
So you asked me here to warn me? Yeah, and to reassure myself that you've got my back.
How bad is it? It's nothing I can't handle, but I'm glad you're here.
Look, Harvey.
Whatever differences we had, we were a good team.
The truth is that, if anything taints the work that we did, it will be bad for both of us.
Is that a threat? Not at all.
It's just reality.
We put away bad people, Harvey.
We fought tough battles and we won.
I taught you how to win.
That's not exactly what you taught me, though.
I know that you didn't always approve of the means, but we both know that the end result was always right.
You're still the best smooth talker I know.
Use it now.
Talk your way out of this.
Settle.
Because if this goes to court, there are skeletons to be found.
They won't find them.
You want to bank on that? I have your back.
I am not volunteering anything.
But if push comes to shove, I won't perjure myself.
Not even for you.
How was dinner with the Antichrist? Subpoena came for you.
What are you going to do? What would you do? I'm sorry.
Are you feeling okay? You just asked my advice.
All these years? Yeah, that's a first.
You were there.
What would you do? I'd tell them everything.
I'd watch Cameron go down.
I'd throw a party, I'd drink champagne, I'd go to bed, and I'd sleep like a baby after I did it.
Really? Don't equivocate.
He's poison, Harvey.
Leaving there was huge.
You could have gone down a dark road.
And I am telling you, I would not have followed.
I just got back from the paper.
This place, it's a growing asset.
There's opportunity for expansion.
If we get this thing for Kelsey, I think she's set.
I saw Elvis there.
Great.
That's exciting.
Am I interrupting something? Dinner didn't go well? It was okay.
Old times.
If that's how you want to play it.
Let's talk about this proposal for Louis.
You know what? Why don't you take a run at it? Get the best deal you can.
You bet me, and now, you're hanging me out to dry? That's fine.
I'll do it.
And I'll win.
Oh, did you decide what you want him to pay you when I win? His tickets to Nixon in China.
You want to go to the opera? No, but Louis does.
And making him miss it will be amusing.
So you get nothing.
You are betting me for nothing.
Are you still talking? Right.
So, did you find a date for tonight? Yep.
And? And we'll see you there.
What? I thought that's what you said you wanted.
To sit with you and Jenny and have her seeing into my brain the whole time? Seeing what? You do remember that we kissed, right? I remember.
It will be okay.
Hi.
Uh, is this a good time to talk about division of assets? No.
Is there a better time, or Yes.
When Harvey's available.
Harvey asked me to handle it.
He thinks you can beat me? Prove him wrong.
What's there to lose? Except for Nixon in China, of course.
What do you have for me? Okay.
So, there are 10 companies.
We propose that Kelsey takes companies one, three, seven, and nine.
So that gives us Hmm.
Generous.
But, no.
Uh Alternatively, we propose that Kelsey takes companies one, two, four, and eight.
That gives you Do you have a counterproposal, or No.
Okay.
Uh, Kelsey takes companies one, seven, eight, and nine.
No.
Louis, that gives you Yes.
But, no.
What is it your client wants? Well, your offer makes it infinitely clear what your client wants.
The tabloid.
And what my client wants is for your client to not get what she wants.
So, you can't have the tabloid.
Period.
You are legally required to take these offers to your client.
So, bring me up on ethics charges.
Or report me to your supervisor.
Oh, wait.
Shit.
I am your supervisor.
Hold on one second.
Go ahead.
What are your complaints? Have any? No? Really? We're supposed to find a fair and equitable settlement, Louis.
Well, then, you go run and tell Jessica.
Oh, wait.
That would be breaking the rules.
And then you'd have to come work for me.
So why don't you run along now and get Harvey and tell him to get off his ass and join the negotiations.
Because you just failed.
When you left the DA's office, you said you were done.
You had learned enough.
And that you were ready to move on.
Was that just bullshit? You were the one who wanted me to have trial experience.
You said that Cameron was the only one that I should learn from.
And what exactly did he teach you? Harvey, why did you leave? He had a case.
I caught him burying a key piece of evidence he was obligated to turn over.
The guy was guilty.
The defense would have used it to let him walk.
All right.
What kind of exposure do you have? I told him no.
He didn't listen.
Then, you were obligated to report him.
Which is why I left.
Why didn't you tell me this at the time? Because you put me there, Jessica.
To be mentored.
Okay.
And it occurred to me, that might have been exactly what you wanted me to learn.
For the record, it wasn't.
I'm going to represent you at this deposition.
I'm going to try to keep you from talking.
But I think you should.
He was my mentor.
He is a public servant.
He was my mentor.
The standards are higher.
He was my mentor.
And I am not going to be the one to expose him any more than I'd ever turn on you.
Worst dating story Identical twins.
I was a lab rat for their social experiment.
They were trying to prove that women were shallow and can't see beyond the surface.
And they wanted to get laid.
Yes.
That, too.
Good times.
So you slept with them both.
Almost.
Turns out they weren't identical after all.
Wow.
Excuse me.
I am just going to run to the ladies' room.
Oh, I'll go with you.
Okay.
What's wrong, Mikey? Tough day at the office? Didn't see you.
It could have been worse.
That's good.
So, you and Rachel.
How long have you guys been dating? You know how lawyers and clients grow close over the course of a trial.
When we kicked your ass in the mock trial, we, uh Bonded.
You know, in the real world, dating clients is a violation of ethics.
Right? Good thing it's not the real world.
Because I intend to violate those ethics all night.
You know the funny thing? I always thought you'd get there first.
I'll tell you how she is.
Shut up, Kyle.
Someone might think you're jealous.
Someone might think you're a dick.
Oh, wait.
Somebody already does.
That's good.
You should write that one down.
Do you keep a journal of these things? Just finish your tofu.
So, how did you two meet? Um I dated his best friend.
I know.
It's awful.
But he was a bad guy and I didn't see it.
Mike showed me.
The truth is, I I think there was always something there with us.
But nothing happened until Trevor and I were totally done.
Never? Well, we did kiss once.
Hey.
Having fun? Loads.
Right, Mike? I think we're going to go.
What? No.
We're having fun.
Come on.
Yeah.
I'm just tired.
Yeah.
Kyle, really.
Just Okay.
Kyle, just, you know What? What's your problem? Stop it.
She doesn't like it.
Oh, my God.
That guy is such a tool.
So what? He's not your date.
Yeah? Well, I have to work with him.
That's not why it bothers you.
It's because he's with Rachel and you know it.
Oh, my God.
Jenny, we've been over this.
I've seen the way you look at her.
I've seen it before.
It's the way you used to look at me when I was with Trevor.
Jenny, I I'm going home, Mike.
Decide what you want.
In or out.
I like you.
A lot.
But you can't have both.
I worked as an Assistant District Attorney for the County of New York for two years.
Tell me about your relationship with Cameron Dennis.
Vague.
Did you and District Attorney Cameron Dennis work closely together? He was my boss.
He supervised all my cases.
And were you personally close? Subjective.
A judge would allow it.
And yet, there's not one here.
Do you really think, by deposing him on the stand, you're going to intimidate him? I think deposing him here will let him know what it will be like if this evidence is brought forward at trial.
You're not getting to trial.
If your client doesn't perjure himself right now, I won't have to.
Were you and Cameron Dennis close? Personally? He was my mentor.
That's a hard relationship to define.
Moving on, Counselor.
All right.
We don't have to talk about Mr.
Dennis.
Let's talk about you, Mr.
Specter.
In two years, you handled 18,362 cases.
Thirty-six cases a day.
That's beyond impressive.
Thank you.
You took 147 to trial, winning them all.
Don't go to trial if you're not going to win.
Why did you leave? An attorney by the name of Jessica Pearson helped me get through law school.
And she felt that I could use trial experience.
But I always planned on ending up at her firm and paying her back by earning that firm outrageous settlements.
How am I doing? Could do better.
You two think that this is a joke.
Argumentative.
You're damn right it's argumentative.
Because he knows that laws have been broken, and he has an obligation to report it.
Miss Leeds But if this is the way you want to play it, the Attorney General has given me a broad mandate to uncover what went on.
And it need not be limited to Mr.
Dennis.
Were you part of the problem, Mr.
Specter? Vague.
I'll rephrase.
In your capacity as Assistant District Attorney in the County of New York, did you knowingly suppress evidence in violation of the ABA Rules of Conduct, the NDAA Standards, and the New York State Bar Rule 8.
4, Section C? My client would like to exercise his Fifth Amendment rights at this time.
I hear you botched the settlement by negotiating against yourself.
I didn't You let Louis know the one thing that was most important to our client.
Yes, I made a mistake.
But Louis made one, too.
Well, he didn't mention that.
Yes, he knows what our client wants.
But now, we know the one thing his client wants.
She doesn't care about winning, Harvey.
She just wants our client to lose.
Okay.
Well, that's good.
So what's next? We lose.
We give her the tabloid.
Well, how does that make our client happy? We let Madison have the paper.
And then, we take everyone who works there and we start a new one.
They all love Kelsey.
Nothing But The Truth is just a name.
We let Madison have it.
I have taught you a thing or two.
Well, I see that you're up to speed.
Well, as am I.
Um I noticed there were some employee issues at the tabloid.
You know, contracts about to expire.
So, I just want to let you guys know that I, uh, went ahead and locked up all the key employees.
Just to protect us.
Since we're all working on this together.
Right? Mmm-hmm.
Good.
He knows.
He can't.
He does.
I was careful.
I deleted every file from the server.
The only time any paper trail left my locked desk is when I faxed it to Kelsey.
Oh, you faxed it.
From the large machine that stores all the information you put in it to be printed back later by anyone who has your code? He can't do that.
We have a Chinese wall thingy.
Oh, God.
He's going to beat us, isn't he? Look.
He knows what we're up to, but he couldn't keep his tactics to himself.
So, we can use that against him.
And that's how we'll crush Louis.
Refresher course, Harvey.
You and Louis aren't opponents on this one.
You're working together.
Like Captain & Tennille? Well, if so, he's Tennille.
- Who? You need to come with me.
What, am I in trouble? Yeah, Harvey.
You are.
You going to buy me a drink before you screw me? Sit down, Harvey.
Listen to what she has to say.
You've got me trembling in my boots.
You're a small fish, and you don't even swim in the pond anymore.
But if I have to eat you alive to get to Cameron Dennis, I will.
This is my case against him.
Falsifying DNA tests.
Coerced confessions.
Testimony buried.
If you have all this, why do you need me? Because this is circumstantial.
You have the crimes, but you can't physically tie them to Cameron.
He's a dirty public servant.
And I think it's why you left.
Your record was too good to just walk away.
Maybe I got greedy.
Harvey.
I'm not testifying.
You're being stubborn.
And this isn't one where you get to make the call.
I'm sorry.
I've done all I can.
It wasn't just his cases he cheated on.
Hector Avila.
Take a look.
You think you were really that great? You think your great track record was because of your skill? I've got two theories here, Harvey.
Either you're wasting your time protecting a man who screwed you from the beginning, or you didn't just know he did this.
You participated.
In which case, I'll have you disbarred.
Come on.
Come on.
Damn it.
What are you doing? Uh, nothing.
I'm just sending some faxes.
Stand down.
They're stuck, Donna.
What are you going to do? I'm the fax whisperer.
Okay.
That's ridiculous, right? I've tried everything.
I hit I've already done that, and it didn't Whatever.
United International wants to buy the tabloid? Ah.
Whatever you do, don't say anything to Louis.
Kelsey Price does not want to sell.
Not a word.
Thanks.
Whoa.
Something explode in here? Just doing some research.
Yeah.
Because you always do your own research.
Okay.
Closed-door meeting with Donna, with Jessica Dinner with some DA you've never even mentioned before.
Is this All something Cameron Dennis taught you? Keep secrets from everyone because you're so good, you don't need anyone's help? There's an investigation into evidence tampering.
I've been asked to testify against my old boss.
Or face charges myself.
You could be disbarred? If I'm found guilty.
Are you guilty? Not of evidence tampering.
I would never do that.
Of anything else? Anything I ever did, you put me in front of an unbiased judge, I walk away clean.
You put me in a courtroom with a grand jury? Anything can happen.
So, are you going to testify? I'm not sure what choice I have.
Well, some dickhead once told me that, when they put a gun to your head, it's not just give in or be killed.
There are 146 other options.
You'll figure something out.
I'll have a proposal for you in the morning.
And I think we'll all be happy.
All right? Night.
He took the bait? Like shooting fish in a barrel.
Good work.
Where you going? I just might take your advice.
Well, the tides are turning.
Are you turning with them, Harvey? Did they turn you? Hector Avila.
You don't even know, do you? This is some old case? It's my old case.
And you buried evidence.
You wearing a wire, Harvey? No, you're not.
I can tell.
I'm not that easy to read anymore, Cameron.
You are to me.
Hector Avila.
Was he guilty, whoever he was? It was my case.
Guilty is guilty.
That's not the way the system works.
The system is broken and you know it.
It's not reasonable doubt.
Juries want to be sure without a shadow of a doubt.
It was my case.
You worked for me.
They were all my cases.
You're a disappointment.
No.
You're the disappointment.
You could have been DA yourself.
You are twice the lawyer than any of the pricks lined up to run against me.
But you sold out.
You help rich people keep their money.
That's all you do.
I stack my value to society against yours and I win by a mile.
So you're selling me out? We both know they don't want to put you in jail.
That's not what this is about.
Walk away, Cameron.
Make a deal.
Let someone else be DA, and all of this? It goes away.
Otherwise? You know what happens if you talk.
They start reopening cases.
Maybe Hector Avila walks away.
He murdered once.
He'll murder again.
You do remember him, don't you? Oh, I remember them all.
Maxwell Rankin? What was it, uh, Alberto Plank? You remember him? He burned his children alive? You'll open the floodgates, Harvey.
You want that on your conscience? Then, make a deal.
It's on you to keep them in jail.
Okay.
Okay, Harvey.
You win.
This isn't winning.
Good to see you, Harvey.
Let's do it again soon.
So your client is really willing to give Madison Nothing But The Truth? You made it clear it was non-negotiable.
I convinced my client to settle, and She wants to move on.
You sure there isn't anything that you want to, uh, disclose? Nope.
I think we're good.
Then, we're good.
Everybody's happy.
- Mmm-hmm.
As clams.
Thank you, Louis.
You, um Happy with the deal? Yeah.
As a matter of fact, I am.
You? You don't even know the half of it.
Don't I? Are you happy that your client got the paper or that you turned around and sold it? You didn't think I knew about that, did you? You want to know why I'm happy, Louis? I'm happy because when you read over that offer from United International, I wanted you to read that.
I wanted you to sell to them.
Because the thing you didn't know is that yesterday, Kelsey Price bought United International.
You shouldn't go behind people's backs, Louis.
You shouldn't try and access information that's none of your business.
It could backfire.
Mmm.
I think we need to talk to Harvey.
I'm sorry, Harvey.
You set me up.
No, Louis.
You set yourself up.
The sales offer was meaningless until you read it.
This is cheating.
You cheated, Louis.
You broke the rules, and you have to pay the price.
People may think that lawyers will do anything.
That they can do anything.
Now, I'm not willing to accept that.
Okay? You can't go skirting the rules and justify it because you think someone else broke the rules.
Okay? You cheated, and you lost.
End of story.
Harvey, I won.
His playacting by the fax machine? That was so obvious.
I found out Kelsey owned United International.
I thought, "If they wanted the paper so badly, how much would they overpay for it?" Harvey, you overpaid 50% for a business so buried in expenses from the employee deals that I made that it can barely stay afloat.
And then, all I had to do was convince Madison to sit back, have fun, watch her sister fail miserably.
I won.
Your client got what she wanted.
So did ours.
Jessica asked to make everyone happy.
Everyone's happy.
It's a draw.
Just hold on a second.
You tell me the truth right now.
Is this a win to you? Fine, Louis.
You win.
You were a step ahead.
You got Mike.
Ten days.
You think I want him now? I just wiped the floor with him.
How can I help you? I'm not going to let him take the fall for that asshole.
Have a seat.
Harvey didn't see it for a long time.
I mean, Cameron's good when he wants to be.
You know how I judge a man's character? Not by how he treats his equals, but by how he treats the underlings.
The lowest rungs on the ladder.
You always impressed me in that regard.
Thank you.
Harvey would never use that, and he'd kill me if he knew I had it.
But, can you help him? Can you use this to help him? Is Harvey punishing you for something? Louis.
No.
You lost? You have to work for him? I lost.
And then, he said he didn't want me.
He farmed me out.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Is there anything I can do to help? What? That.
What are you talking about? I wanted you for months, Rachel.
I flirted.
I I I made up some scheme where we were married.
And you made it clear.
You don't date anyone from the office.
Until I start seeing someone else Okay.
You're delusional.
Why did you bring Kyle on that date? Because it was last-minute and because you needed me to help convince your girlfriend that you don't like me.
You did it to get to me.
This is crazy.
It's just stupid.
You don't even like the guy, Rachel.
Jenny comes to drop off a suit at the office, and what do you do? You kissed me.
You know, I seem to recall you kissing me, too.
Yeah.
That's the problem.
I did and it was great.
But it's too late.
You were too late.
And I can't do any of this.
Do what? This.
This This You joking about your first time.
Or Or rubbing my shoulders or Or touching my arm.
You're playing with me and you know it.
What I know is, you're playing with me, too.
You kept flirting with me long after you started dating her.
Yeah, well, that's going to stop.
Good.
You know, and while you're at it, no more running to me for favors or asking me for help.
How about you find yourself some other paralegal? Because as far as I'm concerned, we're done.
Yeah, I forget what excuse he used this time.
I've heard them all before.
Uh, can you give us a minute? Wow.
Jessica.
I've spoken to Alexandra Leeds.
She told me about the deal you cut.
What do you want me to say? Hmm.
This is a copy.
I'm driving over to the Attorney General's office right now.
If she doesn't tell me you've cut a new deal by the time I get there, she gets the original.
And then, I give her the proof.
You don't have the proof.
Don't I? Cut a new deal.
And if you ever mess with one of mine again, Alexandra gets that anyway.
You don't have to testify.
They don't need you anymore.
Cameron made a deal? He made a deal.
To sell you out.
But I made my own deal.
He'll be stepping down.
Spending some quality time with his family.
How exactly did you manage that? Not your concern.
But you're in the clear, Harvey.
Some people would be happy with that news.
That son of a bitch.
Clifford Danner.
He was 18.
I put him in jail Kid's been rotting in prison his whole adult life.
And? He's innocent.
Cameron buried the evidence.
If I'd had it Do you have enough to overturn? I don't know.
So, what are you going to do? I'm going to get him out.
" James Bond says "dashing.
" You think you're James Bond? I could be James Bond.
I've got Connery's swagger.
Definitely Daniel Craig's physique.
Lazenby's I have no idea what he's known for.
You okay? I had an interesting conversation with Louis last night.
He said I should be careful of you and Rachel.
Do I have anything to worry about? No.
He hates me.
And he's just trying to get to me through you.
So you never No.
You've got nothing to worry about.
She's just a friend.
Okay.
And I am late.
I'll call.
Okay.
We should go out.
I thought this is going out.
No, I mean, um You and me and Rachel should go on a double date.
Does she have a boyfriend? I don't know.
No.
I mean Going on a double date with somebody from work might be kind of Weird.
If I get to know her, then I won't worry.
It will be fun.
Just a couple of friends going out, right? Awesome.
A cab? Someone steal your bike? I have a lot on my mind.
It's a safety issue.
What are you talking about? Louis.
He told Jenny about Rachel and me.
It was one kiss, and she kissed me.
I Okay, Soap Opera, just give me my documents.
How the hell are you? It's good to see you.
Wow.
Too damn long.
Cameron Dennis, District Attorney.
Meet Mike Ross, my associate.
Hi.
I guess that makes you his Harvey.
Sorry? Harvey was my associate.
I taught him everything he knows.
Best ADA to come up since Me.
You taught him.
"Never go to court.
" That's me.
"It's not about caring, "it's about winning.
" Me.
No way.
Harvey's Harvey.
Yeah.
Exactly.
We should, uh, catch up.
Have lunch.
Hey, you know what? This is crazy.
I'm free for dinner tonight.
Just cancel whatever you have and tell Jessica I demanded that you clear your schedule.
Dinner it is.
It will be nice.
That's my boy.
All right.
You know where to find me.
8:00.
Glad I ran into you, Harvey.
It's pretty good work.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ross, you still work here? Funny.
You know, because I thought, after I beat you Yeah.
I got it.
Thanks for expediting.
Yeah.
Hi.
Hi.
Do you need something? Did you know that Harvey, uh, was a prosecutor? No, he wasn't.
Yeah.
He was.
I've read every bio at the firm.
People work for the DA's office, it's on their bio.
Well, we ran into Cameron Dennis this morning.
The DA? Yeah.
He says that Harvey's the best ADA he's ever had.
No.
Come here.
See? Nothing about being a prosecutor.
Yeah.
I need you to go on a double date with me and Jenny.
Yeah.
Not going to happen.
You have to.
Listen to me.
Louis warned her.
About you and me.
What How did he even get You know how.
Because he walked in right after you kissed me.
If you say no, she's going to think something is going on between us.
Okay.
I'll go.
Thank you.
Freaking Louis.
Oh Is this Harvey? Okay, you are definitely sending me that photo.
Westlaw lists him as prosecutor of record on pages and pages of cases.
I told you.
I don't get it.
Why wouldn't he have this on his bio? Because, maybe he has something to hide.
See the money, wanna stay for your meal Get another piece of pie for your wife Everybody wanna know how it feel Everybody wanna see what it's like I'll even eat a bean pie I don't mind Me and missy is so early Busy, busy making money All right! All step back I'm 'bout to dance The greenback boogie "It touches some idealistic core of your being "where even the greatest cynic has not given up hope.
"That's why we listen to music.
" Oh, that's beautiful, Louis.
Really.
And I think your decision to leave law to become a music critic is in everyone's best interest.
Okay.
I was quoting Peter Sellars.
I just got $1,000 a head tickets to Nixon in China.
Are you two dating now? Should I come back? Sit down, Harvey.
I love it when you talk to me like my third grade teacher, Mrs.
Coe.
Gentlemen.
Malcolm Price died last week.
Truly great loss for humanity.
You want to mock the dead? Fine.
But his tabloid, Nothing But The Truth, has made us a fortune.
Price has left his estate, including the tabloid, to his two daughters, Madison and Kelsey.
We have been asked to divide the assets up fairly.
And I'm here why? Because they hate each other.
Malcolm structured the will to bring them back together.
You have a knack for bringing parties together who don't see eye to eye.
So why is he here? Because Madison Price requested him.
You sure she's not mixing him up with me? Hardman had me do some contract work for her a couple of years back.
So I guess I made an impression.
Right.
So you each get a sister.
You think pitting us against each other is fair to Louis' client? Please.
Dividing financial assets? You couldn't shine my shoes.
Someone should.
Well, actually, I personally shine my own shoes.
So there you go.
Well, lucky them.
How come you always ask Donna, "Donna, by the way, "those are really nice shoes that Louis has on.
" Gentlemen.
We're on the same side.
And although I would not choose to have you both on this, that is how it fell.
So I expect you to put your differences aside and work together on this, so that everyone can be happy.
Can you manage that this time? She's always hated me.
Well, maybe this is a chance to put all that behind you.
I'd like that.
Really, I would.
But Maddie I don't think so.
Maybe she'll surprise you.
Kelsey's a bitch.
She doesn't deserve any of it.
Well, I'm afraid your father didn't share that point of view.
According to his will, we were meant To find a division of these companies that makes both of you happy.
But I want to make sure that That you're happy.
You want to know what will make me happy? Whatever makes her miserable.
It's simple.
I want Nothing But The Truth.
My father and I worked together on it for years and It made me crazy.
The two of them pretending that tabloid was literature.
It means everything to me.
All I want is To sell off that piece of garbage and for her to get as little as possible.
What made her so mad at you? She blames me for our dad leaving her mother and marrying mine.
How can she think that's your fault? Because her mother got pregnant, and used it to rope in my dad.
And then, little Kelsey became the center of his universe.
Do you know what's it's like to have someone hate you out of pure jealousy? We'll get you the paper.
Do you know what it's like? To watch someone else get all the attention, when you know that you're twice the person they are? She's not getting that paper.
Maddie.
Kelsey.
Louis.
Harvey.
Doctor.
Doctor.
Chevy.
Nice.
Good meeting? Yeah, we connected.
You? We're on the same page.
Hmm.
What was, uh, Kelsey looking for? I don't know.
Why don't you ask Jenny? You seem to like talking to her.
No, Mike, that's not distracting.
I was just waiting.
For what? To not be distracting.
How come Harvey doesn't talk about working for the DA's office? Who told you that? Cameron Dennis.
We ran into him this morning.
They're having dinner.
So, that's why he wouldn't tell me where he was going.
What's going on, Donna? Let it go.
Don't ask Harvey about this.
What's the big secret? It's no secret, just Don't.
And what are we talking about? The Price sisters.
Those girls.
Do we really have to play nice with Louis? I want to crush him.
You want to crush him? Get over to the paper, kick the tires, and figure out what it's worth.
I thought we were supposed to use the independent valuations.
What? You think he's going to play by the rules? I know he won't.
That's why you better be three steps ahead of him.
Because I can guarantee you, Louis will be two steps ahead of you.
Speak of the devil.
Her majesty's here to see you.
I heard that.
You were meant to.
Gentlemen.
Your highness.
Okay.
You know what? That's exactly why I'm here.
To be mocked? No.
To set clear ground rules to keep the negotiation aboveboard.
Absolutely.
No kicking, no biting, and no rabbit punches.
And now, you're mocking the ground rules.
No, I'm just mocking you.
Point one.
We both agree to use the independent valuations.
Absolutely.
Good point.
Point two.
You do not call Jessica in to mediate.
This is you and me.
You afraid mom's going to take my side? No, I know mom's going to take your side.
Because I'd be right.
Point three.
Chinese wall.
You can't access any internal documents that I create.
Let's make Jessica proud.
We do this right, everyone walks away happy.
Wonderful.
Don't worry.
We'll still crush him.
I heard that.
You were meant to.
Care to make a wager? Our job is to make both sisters happy.
How do we know who wins? We'll know.
Usual amount? No.
I think we should change it up this time.
I win, I get Mike.
You can't bet me like I'm chattel, Louis.
It's not like he's going to win.
One month.
Ten days.
Harvey.
Two weeks.
Nine days.
Harvey! All right.
You know what? Fine.
Ten days.
And in return? Well, that's tough.
Because anything you have, I wouldn't want.
What, uh You're going to bet me for nothing? Harvey? Harvey Specter.
Alexandra Leeds.
I hear you're working for the Attorney General's office.
And you're fighting for the oppressive capitalists.
Winning for the oppressive capitalists.
Good for you.
We should have lunch.
Catch up.
Who told you I was coming here tonight? No one.
I haven't seen you in five years.
You want to catch up? You want something from me.
And it isn't lunch.
I want to talk about Cameron Dennis.
Six feet.
Pisces.
Wavy hair.
I'm serious.
I haven't worked for Cameron in over a decade.
What's there to talk about? The Attorney General's investigating allegations that he systematically buried evidence to get convictions.
So, talk to people who actually work with the guy.
Yeah, that's the problem.
He's still their boss.
Nobody is talking.
Neither am I.
Over lunch or anywhere else.
So, best of luck.
Harvey.
I was hoping for some lunch.
I'm having you subpoenaed.
To testify before a grand jury.
Enjoy your dinner.
Give Cameron my best.
Hey.
Harvey.
Glad you could make it.
How are you? Tell me about the bullshit run-in that you staged this morning.
How long did you have to wait so that you could pretend to be surprised to see me? Ten minutes.
You're never early, but I didn't want to cut it too close.
Well, I also just had another little run-in with Alexandra Leeds.
You really want to drag me into this? Calm down, Harvey.
I'm not dragging you into anything.
They're dragging me into this.
It's election year nonsense, and I wanted to warn you.
So you asked me here to warn me? Yeah, and to reassure myself that you've got my back.
How bad is it? It's nothing I can't handle, but I'm glad you're here.
Look, Harvey.
Whatever differences we had, we were a good team.
The truth is that, if anything taints the work that we did, it will be bad for both of us.
Is that a threat? Not at all.
It's just reality.
We put away bad people, Harvey.
We fought tough battles and we won.
I taught you how to win.
That's not exactly what you taught me, though.
I know that you didn't always approve of the means, but we both know that the end result was always right.
You're still the best smooth talker I know.
Use it now.
Talk your way out of this.
Settle.
Because if this goes to court, there are skeletons to be found.
They won't find them.
You want to bank on that? I have your back.
I am not volunteering anything.
But if push comes to shove, I won't perjure myself.
Not even for you.
How was dinner with the Antichrist? Subpoena came for you.
What are you going to do? What would you do? I'm sorry.
Are you feeling okay? You just asked my advice.
All these years? Yeah, that's a first.
You were there.
What would you do? I'd tell them everything.
I'd watch Cameron go down.
I'd throw a party, I'd drink champagne, I'd go to bed, and I'd sleep like a baby after I did it.
Really? Don't equivocate.
He's poison, Harvey.
Leaving there was huge.
You could have gone down a dark road.
And I am telling you, I would not have followed.
I just got back from the paper.
This place, it's a growing asset.
There's opportunity for expansion.
If we get this thing for Kelsey, I think she's set.
I saw Elvis there.
Great.
That's exciting.
Am I interrupting something? Dinner didn't go well? It was okay.
Old times.
If that's how you want to play it.
Let's talk about this proposal for Louis.
You know what? Why don't you take a run at it? Get the best deal you can.
You bet me, and now, you're hanging me out to dry? That's fine.
I'll do it.
And I'll win.
Oh, did you decide what you want him to pay you when I win? His tickets to Nixon in China.
You want to go to the opera? No, but Louis does.
And making him miss it will be amusing.
So you get nothing.
You are betting me for nothing.
Are you still talking? Right.
So, did you find a date for tonight? Yep.
And? And we'll see you there.
What? I thought that's what you said you wanted.
To sit with you and Jenny and have her seeing into my brain the whole time? Seeing what? You do remember that we kissed, right? I remember.
It will be okay.
Hi.
Uh, is this a good time to talk about division of assets? No.
Is there a better time, or Yes.
When Harvey's available.
Harvey asked me to handle it.
He thinks you can beat me? Prove him wrong.
What's there to lose? Except for Nixon in China, of course.
What do you have for me? Okay.
So, there are 10 companies.
We propose that Kelsey takes companies one, three, seven, and nine.
So that gives us Hmm.
Generous.
But, no.
Uh Alternatively, we propose that Kelsey takes companies one, two, four, and eight.
That gives you Do you have a counterproposal, or No.
Okay.
Uh, Kelsey takes companies one, seven, eight, and nine.
No.
Louis, that gives you Yes.
But, no.
What is it your client wants? Well, your offer makes it infinitely clear what your client wants.
The tabloid.
And what my client wants is for your client to not get what she wants.
So, you can't have the tabloid.
Period.
You are legally required to take these offers to your client.
So, bring me up on ethics charges.
Or report me to your supervisor.
Oh, wait.
Shit.
I am your supervisor.
Hold on one second.
Go ahead.
What are your complaints? Have any? No? Really? We're supposed to find a fair and equitable settlement, Louis.
Well, then, you go run and tell Jessica.
Oh, wait.
That would be breaking the rules.
And then you'd have to come work for me.
So why don't you run along now and get Harvey and tell him to get off his ass and join the negotiations.
Because you just failed.
When you left the DA's office, you said you were done.
You had learned enough.
And that you were ready to move on.
Was that just bullshit? You were the one who wanted me to have trial experience.
You said that Cameron was the only one that I should learn from.
And what exactly did he teach you? Harvey, why did you leave? He had a case.
I caught him burying a key piece of evidence he was obligated to turn over.
The guy was guilty.
The defense would have used it to let him walk.
All right.
What kind of exposure do you have? I told him no.
He didn't listen.
Then, you were obligated to report him.
Which is why I left.
Why didn't you tell me this at the time? Because you put me there, Jessica.
To be mentored.
Okay.
And it occurred to me, that might have been exactly what you wanted me to learn.
For the record, it wasn't.
I'm going to represent you at this deposition.
I'm going to try to keep you from talking.
But I think you should.
He was my mentor.
He is a public servant.
He was my mentor.
The standards are higher.
He was my mentor.
And I am not going to be the one to expose him any more than I'd ever turn on you.
Worst dating story Identical twins.
I was a lab rat for their social experiment.
They were trying to prove that women were shallow and can't see beyond the surface.
And they wanted to get laid.
Yes.
That, too.
Good times.
So you slept with them both.
Almost.
Turns out they weren't identical after all.
Wow.
Excuse me.
I am just going to run to the ladies' room.
Oh, I'll go with you.
Okay.
What's wrong, Mikey? Tough day at the office? Didn't see you.
It could have been worse.
That's good.
So, you and Rachel.
How long have you guys been dating? You know how lawyers and clients grow close over the course of a trial.
When we kicked your ass in the mock trial, we, uh Bonded.
You know, in the real world, dating clients is a violation of ethics.
Right? Good thing it's not the real world.
Because I intend to violate those ethics all night.
You know the funny thing? I always thought you'd get there first.
I'll tell you how she is.
Shut up, Kyle.
Someone might think you're jealous.
Someone might think you're a dick.
Oh, wait.
Somebody already does.
That's good.
You should write that one down.
Do you keep a journal of these things? Just finish your tofu.
So, how did you two meet? Um I dated his best friend.
I know.
It's awful.
But he was a bad guy and I didn't see it.
Mike showed me.
The truth is, I I think there was always something there with us.
But nothing happened until Trevor and I were totally done.
Never? Well, we did kiss once.
Hey.
Having fun? Loads.
Right, Mike? I think we're going to go.
What? No.
We're having fun.
Come on.
Yeah.
I'm just tired.
Yeah.
Kyle, really.
Just Okay.
Kyle, just, you know What? What's your problem? Stop it.
She doesn't like it.
Oh, my God.
That guy is such a tool.
So what? He's not your date.
Yeah? Well, I have to work with him.
That's not why it bothers you.
It's because he's with Rachel and you know it.
Oh, my God.
Jenny, we've been over this.
I've seen the way you look at her.
I've seen it before.
It's the way you used to look at me when I was with Trevor.
Jenny, I I'm going home, Mike.
Decide what you want.
In or out.
I like you.
A lot.
But you can't have both.
I worked as an Assistant District Attorney for the County of New York for two years.
Tell me about your relationship with Cameron Dennis.
Vague.
Did you and District Attorney Cameron Dennis work closely together? He was my boss.
He supervised all my cases.
And were you personally close? Subjective.
A judge would allow it.
And yet, there's not one here.
Do you really think, by deposing him on the stand, you're going to intimidate him? I think deposing him here will let him know what it will be like if this evidence is brought forward at trial.
You're not getting to trial.
If your client doesn't perjure himself right now, I won't have to.
Were you and Cameron Dennis close? Personally? He was my mentor.
That's a hard relationship to define.
Moving on, Counselor.
All right.
We don't have to talk about Mr.
Dennis.
Let's talk about you, Mr.
Specter.
In two years, you handled 18,362 cases.
Thirty-six cases a day.
That's beyond impressive.
Thank you.
You took 147 to trial, winning them all.
Don't go to trial if you're not going to win.
Why did you leave? An attorney by the name of Jessica Pearson helped me get through law school.
And she felt that I could use trial experience.
But I always planned on ending up at her firm and paying her back by earning that firm outrageous settlements.
How am I doing? Could do better.
You two think that this is a joke.
Argumentative.
You're damn right it's argumentative.
Because he knows that laws have been broken, and he has an obligation to report it.
Miss Leeds But if this is the way you want to play it, the Attorney General has given me a broad mandate to uncover what went on.
And it need not be limited to Mr.
Dennis.
Were you part of the problem, Mr.
Specter? Vague.
I'll rephrase.
In your capacity as Assistant District Attorney in the County of New York, did you knowingly suppress evidence in violation of the ABA Rules of Conduct, the NDAA Standards, and the New York State Bar Rule 8.
4, Section C? My client would like to exercise his Fifth Amendment rights at this time.
I hear you botched the settlement by negotiating against yourself.
I didn't You let Louis know the one thing that was most important to our client.
Yes, I made a mistake.
But Louis made one, too.
Well, he didn't mention that.
Yes, he knows what our client wants.
But now, we know the one thing his client wants.
She doesn't care about winning, Harvey.
She just wants our client to lose.
Okay.
Well, that's good.
So what's next? We lose.
We give her the tabloid.
Well, how does that make our client happy? We let Madison have the paper.
And then, we take everyone who works there and we start a new one.
They all love Kelsey.
Nothing But The Truth is just a name.
We let Madison have it.
I have taught you a thing or two.
Well, I see that you're up to speed.
Well, as am I.
Um I noticed there were some employee issues at the tabloid.
You know, contracts about to expire.
So, I just want to let you guys know that I, uh, went ahead and locked up all the key employees.
Just to protect us.
Since we're all working on this together.
Right? Mmm-hmm.
Good.
He knows.
He can't.
He does.
I was careful.
I deleted every file from the server.
The only time any paper trail left my locked desk is when I faxed it to Kelsey.
Oh, you faxed it.
From the large machine that stores all the information you put in it to be printed back later by anyone who has your code? He can't do that.
We have a Chinese wall thingy.
Oh, God.
He's going to beat us, isn't he? Look.
He knows what we're up to, but he couldn't keep his tactics to himself.
So, we can use that against him.
And that's how we'll crush Louis.
Refresher course, Harvey.
You and Louis aren't opponents on this one.
You're working together.
Like Captain & Tennille? Well, if so, he's Tennille.
- Who? You need to come with me.
What, am I in trouble? Yeah, Harvey.
You are.
You going to buy me a drink before you screw me? Sit down, Harvey.
Listen to what she has to say.
You've got me trembling in my boots.
You're a small fish, and you don't even swim in the pond anymore.
But if I have to eat you alive to get to Cameron Dennis, I will.
This is my case against him.
Falsifying DNA tests.
Coerced confessions.
Testimony buried.
If you have all this, why do you need me? Because this is circumstantial.
You have the crimes, but you can't physically tie them to Cameron.
He's a dirty public servant.
And I think it's why you left.
Your record was too good to just walk away.
Maybe I got greedy.
Harvey.
I'm not testifying.
You're being stubborn.
And this isn't one where you get to make the call.
I'm sorry.
I've done all I can.
It wasn't just his cases he cheated on.
Hector Avila.
Take a look.
You think you were really that great? You think your great track record was because of your skill? I've got two theories here, Harvey.
Either you're wasting your time protecting a man who screwed you from the beginning, or you didn't just know he did this.
You participated.
In which case, I'll have you disbarred.
Come on.
Come on.
Damn it.
What are you doing? Uh, nothing.
I'm just sending some faxes.
Stand down.
They're stuck, Donna.
What are you going to do? I'm the fax whisperer.
Okay.
That's ridiculous, right? I've tried everything.
I hit I've already done that, and it didn't Whatever.
United International wants to buy the tabloid? Ah.
Whatever you do, don't say anything to Louis.
Kelsey Price does not want to sell.
Not a word.
Thanks.
Whoa.
Something explode in here? Just doing some research.
Yeah.
Because you always do your own research.
Okay.
Closed-door meeting with Donna, with Jessica Dinner with some DA you've never even mentioned before.
Is this All something Cameron Dennis taught you? Keep secrets from everyone because you're so good, you don't need anyone's help? There's an investigation into evidence tampering.
I've been asked to testify against my old boss.
Or face charges myself.
You could be disbarred? If I'm found guilty.
Are you guilty? Not of evidence tampering.
I would never do that.
Of anything else? Anything I ever did, you put me in front of an unbiased judge, I walk away clean.
You put me in a courtroom with a grand jury? Anything can happen.
So, are you going to testify? I'm not sure what choice I have.
Well, some dickhead once told me that, when they put a gun to your head, it's not just give in or be killed.
There are 146 other options.
You'll figure something out.
I'll have a proposal for you in the morning.
And I think we'll all be happy.
All right? Night.
He took the bait? Like shooting fish in a barrel.
Good work.
Where you going? I just might take your advice.
Well, the tides are turning.
Are you turning with them, Harvey? Did they turn you? Hector Avila.
You don't even know, do you? This is some old case? It's my old case.
And you buried evidence.
You wearing a wire, Harvey? No, you're not.
I can tell.
I'm not that easy to read anymore, Cameron.
You are to me.
Hector Avila.
Was he guilty, whoever he was? It was my case.
Guilty is guilty.
That's not the way the system works.
The system is broken and you know it.
It's not reasonable doubt.
Juries want to be sure without a shadow of a doubt.
It was my case.
You worked for me.
They were all my cases.
You're a disappointment.
No.
You're the disappointment.
You could have been DA yourself.
You are twice the lawyer than any of the pricks lined up to run against me.
But you sold out.
You help rich people keep their money.
That's all you do.
I stack my value to society against yours and I win by a mile.
So you're selling me out? We both know they don't want to put you in jail.
That's not what this is about.
Walk away, Cameron.
Make a deal.
Let someone else be DA, and all of this? It goes away.
Otherwise? You know what happens if you talk.
They start reopening cases.
Maybe Hector Avila walks away.
He murdered once.
He'll murder again.
You do remember him, don't you? Oh, I remember them all.
Maxwell Rankin? What was it, uh, Alberto Plank? You remember him? He burned his children alive? You'll open the floodgates, Harvey.
You want that on your conscience? Then, make a deal.
It's on you to keep them in jail.
Okay.
Okay, Harvey.
You win.
This isn't winning.
Good to see you, Harvey.
Let's do it again soon.
So your client is really willing to give Madison Nothing But The Truth? You made it clear it was non-negotiable.
I convinced my client to settle, and She wants to move on.
You sure there isn't anything that you want to, uh, disclose? Nope.
I think we're good.
Then, we're good.
Everybody's happy.
- Mmm-hmm.
As clams.
Thank you, Louis.
You, um Happy with the deal? Yeah.
As a matter of fact, I am.
You? You don't even know the half of it.
Don't I? Are you happy that your client got the paper or that you turned around and sold it? You didn't think I knew about that, did you? You want to know why I'm happy, Louis? I'm happy because when you read over that offer from United International, I wanted you to read that.
I wanted you to sell to them.
Because the thing you didn't know is that yesterday, Kelsey Price bought United International.
You shouldn't go behind people's backs, Louis.
You shouldn't try and access information that's none of your business.
It could backfire.
Mmm.
I think we need to talk to Harvey.
I'm sorry, Harvey.
You set me up.
No, Louis.
You set yourself up.
The sales offer was meaningless until you read it.
This is cheating.
You cheated, Louis.
You broke the rules, and you have to pay the price.
People may think that lawyers will do anything.
That they can do anything.
Now, I'm not willing to accept that.
Okay? You can't go skirting the rules and justify it because you think someone else broke the rules.
Okay? You cheated, and you lost.
End of story.
Harvey, I won.
His playacting by the fax machine? That was so obvious.
I found out Kelsey owned United International.
I thought, "If they wanted the paper so badly, how much would they overpay for it?" Harvey, you overpaid 50% for a business so buried in expenses from the employee deals that I made that it can barely stay afloat.
And then, all I had to do was convince Madison to sit back, have fun, watch her sister fail miserably.
I won.
Your client got what she wanted.
So did ours.
Jessica asked to make everyone happy.
Everyone's happy.
It's a draw.
Just hold on a second.
You tell me the truth right now.
Is this a win to you? Fine, Louis.
You win.
You were a step ahead.
You got Mike.
Ten days.
You think I want him now? I just wiped the floor with him.
How can I help you? I'm not going to let him take the fall for that asshole.
Have a seat.
Harvey didn't see it for a long time.
I mean, Cameron's good when he wants to be.
You know how I judge a man's character? Not by how he treats his equals, but by how he treats the underlings.
The lowest rungs on the ladder.
You always impressed me in that regard.
Thank you.
Harvey would never use that, and he'd kill me if he knew I had it.
But, can you help him? Can you use this to help him? Is Harvey punishing you for something? Louis.
No.
You lost? You have to work for him? I lost.
And then, he said he didn't want me.
He farmed me out.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Is there anything I can do to help? What? That.
What are you talking about? I wanted you for months, Rachel.
I flirted.
I I I made up some scheme where we were married.
And you made it clear.
You don't date anyone from the office.
Until I start seeing someone else Okay.
You're delusional.
Why did you bring Kyle on that date? Because it was last-minute and because you needed me to help convince your girlfriend that you don't like me.
You did it to get to me.
This is crazy.
It's just stupid.
You don't even like the guy, Rachel.
Jenny comes to drop off a suit at the office, and what do you do? You kissed me.
You know, I seem to recall you kissing me, too.
Yeah.
That's the problem.
I did and it was great.
But it's too late.
You were too late.
And I can't do any of this.
Do what? This.
This This You joking about your first time.
Or Or rubbing my shoulders or Or touching my arm.
You're playing with me and you know it.
What I know is, you're playing with me, too.
You kept flirting with me long after you started dating her.
Yeah, well, that's going to stop.
Good.
You know, and while you're at it, no more running to me for favors or asking me for help.
How about you find yourself some other paralegal? Because as far as I'm concerned, we're done.
Yeah, I forget what excuse he used this time.
I've heard them all before.
Uh, can you give us a minute? Wow.
Jessica.
I've spoken to Alexandra Leeds.
She told me about the deal you cut.
What do you want me to say? Hmm.
This is a copy.
I'm driving over to the Attorney General's office right now.
If she doesn't tell me you've cut a new deal by the time I get there, she gets the original.
And then, I give her the proof.
You don't have the proof.
Don't I? Cut a new deal.
And if you ever mess with one of mine again, Alexandra gets that anyway.
You don't have to testify.
They don't need you anymore.
Cameron made a deal? He made a deal.
To sell you out.
But I made my own deal.
He'll be stepping down.
Spending some quality time with his family.
How exactly did you manage that? Not your concern.
But you're in the clear, Harvey.
Some people would be happy with that news.
That son of a bitch.
Clifford Danner.
He was 18.
I put him in jail Kid's been rotting in prison his whole adult life.
And? He's innocent.
Cameron buried the evidence.
If I'd had it Do you have enough to overturn? I don't know.
So, what are you going to do? I'm going to get him out.
