Suits s07e08 Episode Script

1 I'm here to tell you you're backing the hell off my firm.
You got to sign something saying that I had nothing to do with this.
- I already did.
- It's on you now.
You want to see a copy of the pictures your fiancée sent me? - She didn't send you anything.
I made copies, one for each guy in the joint.
Ah! Happy anniversary.
It's so nice to be with a man who's so thoughtful after spending all day with a man who doesn't even know what the word means.
Talking about Harvey.
If you can't even separate yourself from him when he's asking you to leave a job that you love, makes me wonder if it's really the job you love after all.
I was thinking maybe some of that money might go to your daughter.
I know you don't talk to her.
If you're playing with me on this thing-- I'm not playing you, Frank.
What the hell are you doing with Frank Gallo? Does Rachel know about this? - No.
- And you better hope Gallo doesn't leave her a message the same way he left me one.
Alex has a gun to his head.
I have a way out of it, but there's gonna be some consequences for Mike.
Harvey, is there any other way out of this mess? If there were, I wouldn't be standing here.
You think signing Reform Corps.
is gonna make this go away, they have something on him.
Why don't you take the night and decide if you trust me enough to keep working here or not.
The guard gave me a letter, and that guard was murdered by an inmate.
- You covered up a murder? - They set me up.
I'm not asking you to let it go; I'm telling you what would happen if you don't.
[phone line trilling.]
- I'm sorry, who's this? - I get it.
I haven't returned your calls for a few days.
- Now that you mention it-- - Listen, I'm sorry.
I've been totally under the gun at the office, but I think we're out of the woods.
Then how about you make it up to me by letting me take you out to dinner? Thursday night.
Let me get this straight.
I get caught up with work and my punishment is you taking me out.
I'm British, Harvey.
We do things differently across the pond.
Then I guess I'll see you Thursday.
I guess you will.
Good night, Harvey.
Good night, Paula.
[phone line trilling.]
- Hello? - Mark, hi.
It's Donna Paulson.
Donna.
Wow.
It's, uh good to hear from you.
It's been a long time.
Yeah.
I was, um-- I was just thinking about you and I decided to give you a call.
I'm--I'm glad you did.
You know, I think about you from time to time, too.
- This is weird.
- Oh, I don't know.
Ex-girlfriend calling, out of the blue, late night.
I think I've seen weirder.
- Oh, have you.
Well, nothing I can think of this second, but I'm sure I have.
Well, while you're thinking about it, why don't you check your calendar and see if you can squeeze me in for lunch sometime soon.
I don't have to check my calendar.
I'm pretty sure I can squeeze you in any time.
- Then how's tomorrow? - Tomorrow sounds good.
The, uh, place with the thing by the thing? The place with the thing by the thing sounds good.
See you there.
[sighs.]
What are you doing here? I told you to take the night.
I don't need to take the night.
I need to talk to you right now.
If you're here to tell me to drop Reform Corp.
, you've wasted a trip-- - I'm not here for that, Harvey.
Alex told me everything.
[dramatic music.]
Prove it.
I swear to God, if you're gonna use this against him-- I don't wanna use anything against him.
I wanna help him.
- Bullshit.
It's not bullshit.
I listened to his story.
Anyone could've found themselves in that position.
- So what are you saying? - I'm saying that you and I are supposed to be Batman and Robin, we-- If we can't stop these guys from getting away with it and save Alex in the meantime, then what the hell are we doing? I'm guessing you got a plan.
I'm guessing I do.
You think we need to find our Commissioner Gordon.
- How'd you know that? - Because I know Batman.
And I know that he needs someone on the inside who's working with him behind the scenes.
Look at you.
You do know Batman.
- You got someone in mind? - Of course I do.
Unless you're even dumber than you look, it's the same person you're thinking of.
Robert, you have a minute? I got a minute to find out how you got into my house.
Laura let me in.
Yeah, of course she did.
She's under the misguided impression that you're charming.
Now why don't you tell me what you got in that box.
Just some files.
We were running out of space over at my firm and I thought maybe I could just store them with you.
- [chuckles.]
You think I didn't hear about that class action? Just about cracked your firm in two? Why the hell would I touch that with a ten foot pole? Robert, I don't have a leg to stand on other than to say that Mike took this on and found some bad shit.
I'm giving you an opportunity to right some wrongs, make a shitload of money and all you have to do is show up for one meeting.
I think I might have some extra storage space here.
But, Harvey, if you leave that thing with me, the case is mine and I run it how I see fit.
- Is that a threat? - Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
But once we step into that ring, I don't give a shit who you are, I'm not pulling my punches.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
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 busy, busy making money All right All step back, I'm 'bout to dance Suits 7x08 The greenback boogie What the hell? I thought you were on my side.
- I am on your side.
- Then why did Robert Zane just come out of nowhere and all of a sudden reopen that God damn case? - Alex, relax.
He didn't open it up against your client; he opened it up against Harvey's.
What good does that do? They're in this thing together and so am I.
Listen to me.
You've trusted me with the truth.
I gave you my word that I wouldn't let you go down for something you didn't do.
- Well I guess your word is shit because the second this trial starts, it's only a matter of time till I've got a bull's-eye on my back.
- Well, then I guess it's a good thing there isn't gonna be a trial.
What are you talking about? I can't tell you everything that's going on, but all you need to do is make sure Masterson Construction stands down.
After that, you just sit back and watch this whole thing go away.
God damn it! God damn it, Gretchen, I asked you for those applications to replace Stephanie days ago.
Where the hell-- - I have them right here.
Well, why didn't you give them to me? Because there was a problem-- Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second.
This doesn't feel right.
- How can you know that? Because when it comes to applications, I'm like Rain Man and this pile feels one applicant light.
That's because Columbia University chose not to send an applicant.
Well, why the hell didn't you tell me? Because it's one position.
We have applications from 19 of the top 20 schools, you fool.
- Did you just call me a fool? - I call 'em like I see 'em.
Well, I don't give a shit about the other 19 if there's even one that thinks we're still not good enough after Mike Ross.
I'm not gonna let it stand.
Louis, if you go over there and make trouble, it won't only be Columbia withholding lawyers from us, it'll be every damn school in the country.
Gretchen, if you're gonna keep talking, you might as well say it to my ass 'cause I'm going over there right now to let them know who's too good for who.
[sighs.]
- Roger.
- What the hell? - What the hell, what? - Don't give me that.
I did a little digging.
Robert Zane is about to be Mike Ross' father-in-law and I don't think it's a coincidence that all of a sudden, he's coming after us on the exact same case.
Roger, I'll take care of it.
You better take care of it, Harvey.
Because I only signed with you because you promised to stop Mike Ross, and I don't think I have to remind you that if Reform Corp.
goes down, Alex Williams goes down and he takes your whole damn firm with him.
I told you.
I'll take care of it.
But you're gonna need to do something for me.
- And what is that? - Open your God damn checkbook.
Robert, there's no cause for you to talk to my client like that.
- Well, if you want me to invite him to afternoon tea, I will.
But if he wants this case to go away, this is how much he's gonna have to pay.
Are you out of your mind? Robert, this isn't a settlement offer.
This is a declaration of war.
Then let's go to war.
You think I'm afraid to put this in front of a jury? You won't get near a jury 'cause I'm gonna make sure they know Mike Ross handed you this case on a silver platter.
And you don't have the proof of that or you wouldn't be at a settlement meeting.
But I do have the proof that you not only schemed to extend sentences, but murdered someone to cover it up.
- What are you talking about? - I'm talking about the fact that I have an eyewitness in prison who'll testify in court.
And who is this witness? You know who he is.
And he knows who you are.
And unless you take my deal, you're gonna end up behind bars yourself.
I am not paying that kind of money and I am not admitting to anything.
Roger, you heard him.
He has a witness.
Then you better make sure Frank Gallo doesn't testify, Harvey.
Or I'll find somebody who can.
I wanna speak to whoever the hell's in charge of recruiting and I wanna speak to them now.
Well, I'm afraid that's not possible.
What do you mean it's not possible? I mean you'll have to make an appointment.
We don't take in walk-ins.
Well, I'm not a walk-in.
My name is Louis Litt, from the firm Pearson Specter Litt.
- Wait, you can't go in there.
- Oh, yes I can.
If you people think you can dismiss our firm, you have another thing com-- Sheila.
- Louis.
What are you doing here? Um, uh--well, I've worked at Columbia for the past six months.
But you said you would never leave Harvard.
I did, Louis.
But-- - But what? My fiancé lives in the city and I wanted to be with him.
- Fiancé.
- Yes.
We're getting married in two weeks.
I'm sorry, Louis.
- You don't need to be sorry.
And I understand why you didn't send the applications over.
You didn't want me to be hurt.
- I didn't.
But now that you know, there's no reason to punish you or the firm.
I guess not.
I'll send over our best and our brightest and make sure they understand it's an opportunity to learn at the foot of a master.
It's good to see you, Sheila.
Good to see you too, Louis.
Harvey, what happened? They go for it? What happened was your backstabbing father-in-law blew up the settlement.
- What? Why? - 'Cause he's an asshole.
Now I gotta stop Gallo from testifying.
What the hell are you talking about? I'm talking about going to the prison and convincing that psychopath not to talk.
- Harvey, that's a bad idea.
- Don't you get it? He talks, Alex goes down.
That's the whole thing we're trying to avoid.
I'm not saying it's a bad idea to shut Gallo down.
I'm saying that you are not the one to do it.
- Are you out of your mind? You're not supposed to be anywhere near this case.
Reform Corp.
gets wind of this-- - And what, Harvey? I shut down the star witness on the other side.
They're not gonna be pissed.
They're gonna give me a medal.
What makes you think you're gonna be better at that than me? - Because I might've been the one who kept him there longer, but you-- you're the one who put him there in the first place.
Mm, what are you doing here? I thought you were off the case.
- I was.
Now I'm back on.
'Cause I need to give you something.
Yeah, what's this? It's a hell of a lot more than whatever Robert Zane is paying you to testify.
It's on top of whatever settlement your daughter is still gonna get.
All you have to do is keep your mouth shut.
Yeah, I'm not interested in your money.
No, Gallo, you're not getting me, this-- You're not getting me.
I don't give a God damn about your money.
Robert Zane already told me you'd be in here trying to screw me over.
- I'm not trying to screw you over.
- Then why have you been trying to get me to do the exact opposite thing for the last month? - Because-- Because the two of you don't give a shit about anything but yourselves.
The situation has changed.
You know what hasn't changed? Denise.
What she thinks of me.
- Frank, that's-- - See, you came in here trying to get me to buy her love back.
I almost did it.
But I can't get anything from her with just money.
I need her to see me get up on that stand admit what I did and ask for forgiveness.
Robert Zane understands that because he's got a daughter.
- I understand that-- - No, you don't.
I need her to see me do this.
And nothing you or Harvey can say is gonna change that.
[both laughing.]
- And then you said, "It's Mr.
Dipshit, thank you very much.
" Well, if he's gonna be a stickler about what name is on the reservation, [laughs.]
And then for the rest of the weekend, we didn't have to pay for a single drink.
Which was a good thing because you ordered tequila shots for everyone in the restaurant.
- It was Cinco de Mayo.
It was August 9th.
[both laugh.]
I can't believe you still remember that.
I remember a lot of things about those days.
Which is why I can't believe that there's not a, uh, a Mr.
Donna Paulson yet.
- Well.
You know I have my standards.
Well, I'm glad to see you haven't lowered them.
To tell you the truth, I actually raised them.
At least professionally.
You mean you finally stopped working for Harvey? Yes and no.
I still work at the firm, but I'm COO now.
- Donna, that is fantastic.
- It is.
So what about you? No Mrs.
Meadows yet? Um, actually, I-- I got married about three years ago.
Mark, if you're married, why did you agree to have lunch with me? Because you called and you invited me and--and I thought it's just lunch, and-- This hasn't felt like just lunch and you know it.
No, it hasn't.
To tell you the truth, I think about you all the time.
[sighs.]
And my wife and I have been at each other's throats for months.
And then you called and I thought that I would meet you and just see what happened.
Well, I can tell you what's not gonna happen.
I'm not gonna be the answer to your problems.
Well, I'm--I'm so sorry.
Look, I'm not gonna lie and say that I don't think about you, too, from time to time.
I do.
But this can't be the way that things start up again with us.
So if at some point, you call and you say that things are over between you and your wife and you wanna go out with me, I'd be open to that.
But I'm not open to this.
I understand.
[sighs.]
It was good to see you, Mark.
It's good to see you too, Donna.
Rachel.
Hey.
You are a sight for sore eyes.
- Am I? Whoa, what's going on? Did you have a bad day? - I was actually having a great day until I found out that the witness in the murder case is Frank Gallo.
- Rachel, I was gonna-- - Gonna tell me? When, exactly? When the whole thing was over? Because I also found out that you and Harvey went to my dad to keep this thing alive.
- Rachel-- - How many times do I have to tell you I can take care of myself? What did you want me to say? That I shouldn't have gone to Gallo? Or that I shouldn't have taken this whole thing on in the first place? Because I am never gonna say that.
This has nothing to do with any of that.
This has to do with you respecting me as a lawyer.
So you're telling me that if I had let you in on the plan, you would've been good with all of it.
I don't know if I would've been good with any of it.
What I do know is that you need to get through your head that I am a grown woman and that I am not a damsel in distress that needs protecting.
Whatever it is, Donna, I don't have it in me.
It's okay, Louis.
I didn't even know you were up here.
If you wanna be alone, I can-- - Sheila's getting married.
I'm so sorry.
She didn't wanna tell me because she thought I couldn't handle it.
I get it.
Maybe.
But what you don't get is what it's like to find out twice in one year that the person you thought was the love of your life doesn't want you.
I understand that more than you think.
What do you mean? I had lunch with an ex-boyfriend today.
Someone I cared a lot about.
I looked him up, wondering if there was still something there and while we were eating, he told me he was married.
Why'd he have lunch with you? Because, Louis.
People are more complicated than you think.
Well, it's not complicated for Sheila.
She's found her man, and that is that.
Louis, I'm not sure I feel comfortable leaving you up here all alone.
It's okay, Donna.
I'm not gonna jump.
Unless you can guarantee me I can land on Sheila's fiancé.
[chuckles.]
Okay.
You're gonna be all right.
But I'm still not leaving you up here all alone.
Whatever it is, I don't need to hear it because I already know what you're gonna say.
Well, I'm gonna say it anyway.
I didn't bring you this case to take you to court.
I brought it to you so you could give these people justice.
Bullshit.
You brought it to me to get you out of hot water.
And I like I already told you, this is my case.
Don't you dare tell me how to run it.
I know that Robert, but look, if you dig too deep, it's gonna end up putting one of my own behind bars for a crime he didn't commit.
Well, it doesn't take too much for me to guess who that is.
And I don't give a shit about Alex Williams.
You know what I do give a shit about? The United States is 5% of the world's population.
But it's got 25% of its prisoners.
But that's not something you white guys want to talk about.
- Robert-- - I grew up in the roughest part of Harlem there is.
Nine out of ten kids on my block ended up in places like that.
And every day of my life, I think there but by the grace of God.
And they're taking these kids-- like the ones I knew- and they're extending their sentences and murdering some of them.
So no matter what you do or what you say, they're going to take my offer or we're going to trial.
Either way, they're gonna pay.
[dramatic music.]
Harvey.
I was just about to call you.
Since you didn't already, I'm guessing you couldn't convince Gallo not to testify.
He doesn't want our money, Harvey.
He wants his daughter's forgiveness and thinks the only way he's gonna get it is by testifying.
- Bullshit.
He wants something.
We just need to find out what it is.
Listen to me.
I was in the room with him.
This thing with his daughter is real.
He's not gonna back down.
- Son of a bitch.
- What are we gonna do now? - I hate to say it.
We may need to find some dirt on Zane.
Harvey, I'm not gonna blackmail my future father-in-law about a case that we gave him to begin with.
You didn't give it to him.
I did.
And I did it to make sure two things happened, and one was saving Alex Williams.
So if you don't wanna find something on Zane, I will.
Neither one of you has to.
- Rachel-- - Harvey, I know how things work.
I meant, you don't have to find dirt on my father because I know how to stop Frank Gallo from testifying.
But my dad isn't gonna be the only one who doesn't like it.
You two aren't gonna like it either.
- Why not? - Because it involves impugning his integrity and doing it through me.
If you're saying what I think you're saying, that's playing with fire.
And I already told you I don't have a problem playing with fire.
My problem is being left out of the game.
So if my dad has an issue with it, you tell him to take it up with me.
Lewis, that woman from Columbia University's on the line again.
She'd like to know what you thought about her candidate.
Tell her we already filled the position.
Lewis, tell me what's going on.
You went all the way over there to get them on board and now you're asking me to lie to this woman.
What's going on is I don't wanna see her, I don't wanna talk to her, I don't wanna hear her name.
So if you don't wanna lie, then don't.
But I am not taking that call.
Look, Mike, Rachel's plan could work, but it's gonna piss Zane off and you know it.
Not to mention what it's gonna do to Gallo.
Rachel and I can take care of the fallout, trust me.
Before you got there last night, she made it clear that she can handle herself.
Yeah, I don't care what she thinks she can handle.
I'm not doing it.
- Then what exactly is your plan, because the hearing's in five minutes and we don't have another way to stop Gallo from testifying.
What the hell are you doing here, Bratton? I'm to make sure you're doing your job.
Bullshit, I don't work for you.
I didn't say you did.
But if you can't make this thing go away, you're not gonna be working for Reform Corp.
or Masterson Construction either.
- Is that a fact? - Sure as hell is.
You don't stop our prison friend from testifying, I'm gonna take this thing over and the first thing I'm going to do is offer up a sacrificial lamb named Alex Williams.
How do you feel about Rachel's plan now? Gentlemen, this is the second time the issue of Frank Gallo's come up in this case.
What is it this time? - What it is, Your Honor, is Mr.
Specter knows Mr.
Gallo is gonna take him out at the knees and he's gonna do anything he can to stop him.
I'll do anything I can because Frank Gallo is about to commit perjury and Robert Zane knows it.
You accuse someone of something like that in an open court, you better damn well have proof.
Mr.
Zane, watch yourself.
And Mr.
Specter, he's right.
I know that, Your Honor.
Which is why I have proof right here.
And what is that? Pictures of Rachel Zane sent by Frank Gallo designed to intimidate her father into suborning perjury.
That is a lie! Whatever's in that envelope is bullshit.
Mr.
Zane, I'm going to let that language go and I don't want to accuse you of anything, but these photos do indicate that a known criminal is threatening your daughter.
I don't give a shit what they indicate.
I've never seen them before in my life and I don't suborn perjury.
- That's enough.
- I don't know what's going on here, but until I get to the bottom of this, Frank Gallo is not testifying.
You son of a bitch.
You used my daughter against me.
I'm gonna God damn knock you out.
Robert, don't you come at me.
You don't want me coming at you because you know once I got my hands on you you're done! Which is why I'll drop you before you do.
- Go ahead and drop me! - Robert.
You're not gonna throw a punch because you know you're wrong.
Robert, Robert! Hey, Robert, Robert! Stop! It was Rachel's idea.
- What did you just say? - Harvey didn't even wanna do it.
- Bullshit, it was her idea.
Robert, she's a grown woman, she made a decision.
You don't believe me, you can ask her yourself.
But I'm telling you, you wanna be angry at someone, do not take it out on Harvey.
- I don't care whose idea it was.
You used her to slander me! In open court! You should be ashamed of yourself.
And you--you tell your Reform Corp.
buddies that Frank Gallo is gonna take that stand one way or another.
And there's nothing they can do to stop it.
[tense music.]
[phone buzzing.]
- Mark, hi.
- Hey, um, I hope I'm not interrupting.
No, actually, I'm just, um-- I'm just finishing up for the night.
Are you still there? Yeah, um-- Sorry, um, I'm just-- - Mark.
- Hold on, please, Donna.
Let me just-- let me just get this out.
Seeing you the other day brought up a lot of feelings.
It did for me, too.
But you're married.
- Not happily.
- Mark-- The thing is, I walked away from you once before.
And ever since I--I wonder what would've happened if I hadn't-- I just--I can't walk away from you again.
What are you saying? My office is hosting a conference this week and everyone's staying in the city, so I'm not going back to Connecticut until Saturday.
I'd like to see you before I do.
What am I supposed to say to that? You don't have to say anything.
But I just wanted you to know that I'll be staying at the Carlyle for the next two nights.
Room 508.
What about your wife? I don't know how I'm gonna handle that.
And I definitely won't be able to handle it by tomorrow.
So if you don't wanna see me, I'll understand.
But I had to call.
Good night, Donna.
Good night, Mark.
[phone ringing.]
Gretchen, I told you I'm not taking any calls.
Louis? Sheila.
You called my private line.
Is this a bad time? I wouldn't say it's a great time.
Louis, I lied when I said I didn't tell you about being at Columbia because I didn't wanna hurt you.
Well, then why didn't you tell me? Because I haven't gotten you out of my system.
And when I say that, what I'm really saying is, Louis, I want your body one last time before I walk down that aisle.
Say what, now? I wanna devour every inch of your flesh.
I want you to rock my world six ways from Sunday.
I want to-- I think I get the-- Do not interrupt me! Because I demand a travel to the moon and back seven to nine more times in one life-shattering 12-36 hour period.
- Oh, my God.
- That's when I plan on making you scream until you can't scream anymore.
Sheila, where is this coming from? You know exactly where it's coming from.
It started the second you strutted into my office like a Viking god, ready to pillage a helpless maiden.
I was just coming in to check on the candidates.
I didn't even know that you were-- That's what makes it so hot.
Shirley, even though this image is making my Viking mast unfurl to full sail, I don't think what you're suggesting is a good idea.
Well, that's because I haven't told you that I'm finally gonna let you do that thing that you always wanted to do.
- Even the-- - Yes.
- And with the-- - Yes.
And what about the accent? Oh, with all the accents, Louis.
With all the accents.
- What about the lisp? - No.
Ahh! Sheila, I can't! I respect your integrity, Louis.
But not enough to stop me from waiting for you tomorrow night in our old hotel suite.
The War Room? The very one.
Ah.
Louis, you've gotta come down to the bullpen for a second.
You're not gonna believe what Brian cooked up for the Langston settlement.
- I can't right now, Rachel.
- Why not? It's only going to take a second.
Because I'm not getting up right now, Rachel, and there's nothing you can say to change that.
Louis, what's going on? Just got off the phone with Sheila.
She's getting married and she wants to have one last fling before she goes down the aisle.
And you don't wanna do that because you don't wanna be that kind of person.
- No, I don't.
- So then what's the problem? The problem is--is I haven't had anything go my way in so long, I can't even remember what that's like.
And I could really use a night where I can forget my pain and feel good about myself.
Louis, I can't tell you what the answer is because it's not a small thing to do something like that.
But if it helps, I know you have a good heart.
So whatever you decide, it's not gonna change how I feel about you.
Thanks, Rachel.
[somber music.]
What are you doing here, Counselor? I'm here because I have relevant information on the Reform Corp.
matter.
- And if that's the case, you should be doing it in chambers and Robert Zane should be there.
- Your Honor, Robert Zane's not in his right mind.
You saw what happened to him yesterday and that's why before you rule on Frank Gallo-- - Stop right there, Mr.
Specter.
- No, I'm not gonna stop there.
- Yes, you are.
- Your Honor-- Frank Gallo is dead.
- What? - He was murdered in his cell last night.
So whatever it was that you were going to say about him is irrelevant.
The man can't testify.
So I think it's time to let him rest in peace.
Donna.
How long have you been standing there? I was just walking by and I didn't recognize you.
And you thought, who is that strange woman in Harvey's office? That's not what I thought.
Have you seen Harvey, by any chance? He's actually out for the rest of the day.
That's okay.
I'll just see him tonight.
Oh, I get it.
You stopped by to surprise him because it's your two month anniversary.
- How can you know that? - Because I care about him.
And you coming into his life is a memorable event.
Well, it was good to see you, Donna.
[sighs.]
Carbone.
I'm sorry.
It's a hole in the wall, but it's one of Harvey's favorite places.
So if you're looking for a reservation-- Actually, I already have one.
Oh, let me guess.
At Carbone.
- Yes.
Well, I'm sure you'll have a great time.
Thank you for the recommendation, Donna.
There you are.
I've been looking all over for you.
- What is it, Rachel? - Okay, I was thinking, we never got to have those drinks we talked about and, Donna, I know you've been going through a lot of stuff, lately.
So I thought maybe you could use a night where you just lose your troubles and just feel good about yourself.
- I could.
- So, what do you say? Is Harriet Specter available to go out with Michelle Ross tonight? I can't tonight, Rachel; I have plans.
That's mysterious.
What do you have, a hot date? Yeah.
Something like that.
- Is he in? - Yes, but you can't go in there.
- Try and stop me.
- Wait a second.
- You son of a bitch.
You murdered Frank Gallo.
Ashley, I'll handle this.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Bullshit! You said if I couldn't stop him from testifying, you'd find someone who could.
I meant I'd get Thomas Bratton involved.
I didn't mean I'd kill a man.
And you did stop Gallo from testifying, so why would it matter? Because he wanted to make sure that Robert Zane didn't reverse it, so you had him murdered.
And how exactly did I arrange this supposed murder? The same damn way you killed that guard and covered it up.
Once again, Harvey, I have no idea what you're talking about.
And you can accuse me of anything you want, but that man was a hardened criminal who could've been killed by anyone for anything.
And I am not gonna lose a second of sleep over it.
I beg to differ.
- Robert.
- What the hell is going on here? - I'll tell you what's going on.
I got something for you to see.
And it's not on Netflix.
Frank Gallo, prisoner 09842.
Danbury Federal Prison.
All right.
Enough bullshit.
I'm your lawyer.
None of this is admissible.
Now tell me the truth, so I know what I'm dealing with.
All right, you want the truth, let's just get to it.
There was a guard, sent a letter to some lawyer on the outside who was getting suspicious of what was going on in there.
They wanted me to remind him of where he was in the food chain.
- And you were happy to do it.
- No, I wasn't.
We were hard men in there.
Tough guys, murderers.
That guard was just a sweet, old man.
Never hurt a soul in all his years.
And you expect me to believe all that.
You can believe it or not, it's the truth.
So I told them I wouldn't do it until whoever was running the show came to me directly.
And they made that happen.
They had no choice.
Next day, the guy showed up right in my God damn cell like he owned the place, which he did.
- And who exactly was that? Roger Shapiro.
CEO of Reform Corp.
And then what happened? I, uh-- I got him alone that night in the mess hall.
Wouldn't you know, the old man still had some fight in him.
Next thing I knew, it was him or me, so-- I had to put him down.
You killed him.
Yeah.
I killed him.
And then what did you do? I told them I was done, out, no more.
Next night, Roger Shapiro sent five of my friends to do the same thing to me.
Looks like you're in some deep shit, Roger.
I don't believe it.
So you two were in on this together.
- To quote you, I have no idea what you're talking about.
I certainly didn't go to Robert's house this morning and tell him that I think that you had Frank Gallo murdered So he wouldn't be able to testify.
And I certainly didn't say if you had, you made a huge mistake because now this tape is a death bed confession and by law is admissible.
And all that bullshit I came up with, about Robert being intimidated by Frank Gallo, well, that doesn't apply anymore because Frank Gallo's dead.
- So what do you want? - What I want is for you to go away for murder.
But that's not gonna happen so I'll settle for the number I wanted in the first place.
But you're never gonna pull this shit again on prisoners because if you do, I don't care about Alex Williams.
This tape goes to the Department of Justice and you are headed to one of your own prisons, five seconds later.
I think that's something that I could work with.
Now, if there's nothing else, I'd like you both to leave.
Oh, we're not done with you yet.
- What now? - I'll tell you what now, you're gonna write up something for me and you're not gonna like it.
But if you wanna stay out of prison, you're gonna make damn sure it says exactly what I need it to.
What the hell is this? Tommy.
You mind telling me how the hell you got in here? People like me here, Tommy.
That's how I got in.
But the question you should be asking is why I'm here.
I don't give a shit why you're here.
I want my God damn affidavit back.
Sure thing.
You also want me to sign over the deed to my house in the Hamptons, while I'm at it? You can keep your shitty house.
Because you're gonna need someplace to go after you resign.
- What did you just say to me? He said he's here for his affidavit and your resignation, you smug piece of shit.
[laughs.]
What you guys, plan on beating it out of me? Because that's the only way you'd get it.
We don't need to beat up an old man, Tommy.
We just need to show you this.
- What's that? - That's a signed confession from Robert Shapiro, say he entered into a conspiracy with Masterson Construction to defraud the United States government.
And that that conspiracy was arranged by you.
No way.
Roger would never do that.
Oh, he did it.
For the same reason you're gonna give us what we want.
We had him by the balls.
Just like I got you right now, Tommy.
So you can pick up the phone and call him, or you can look at my face and see I'm not lying.
But either way, we're not leaving here without getting what we want.
[laughs.]
I'm not going to stand here and write my resignation letter in front of you two, okay? Then it's a good thing we wrote one up for you.
[dramatic music.]
By the way, remember when I told you you owed me? I'd pretty much say we're even.
I don't think this word even means what you think it means.
Oh, well, is that a fact? You're damn right it is.
I turned down a job offer.
You were gonna go to prison.
You owe me for the rest of your life.
Got it.
Me and you, square.
Once again, I don't think the word square means what you think it means.
- You're right.
We still gotta go eat on you.
Sorry, can't tonight, Alex.
I got other plans.
What are you doing here? I came to apologize for what I did.
I thought you said it was Rachel's idea.
It was, but you said I should've stopped it in its tracks and you were right.
Robert, I'm sorry.
I love Rachel.
I would never do anything to hurt her.
But I should've known to never do anything to hurt you.
It takes a big man to say that, Mike.
I appreciate it.
And I'd be lying if I didn't admit it worked out for everybody in the end.
Yeah, not everybody.
I'm not losing any sleep over that son of a bitch.
He may not have threatened Rachel to me, but he sure as hell threatened her to you.
I know.
And I know he was a murderer.
But Harvey showed me that tape.
You can see how much he cared about his daughter.
Fact of the matter is, they're never gonna see each other again.
Then to Frank Gallo.
May he rest in peace.
I told them I was done.
No more, out.
Next night, Roger Shapiro sent five of my friends to do the same thing to me.
You're willing to testify to that in court.
No way, I tell them that, they'll put me away for murder.
- You're already away.
- Yeah, for seven more years.
I tell them this, they'll put me away for life.
What if I can get you immunity? - You can't promise me that.
- No, I can't.
But if you did this for me, there's no way I'm gonna let them convict you for murder.
Why should I believe you? For the same reason you need to take that stand.
I know what it's like to have a daughter.
And I know you cut that deal with Mike Ross so that she'd forgive you.
But she needs more than that to forgive you.
She needs to know her father is a good man.
- I'm not a good man.
- Yeah, maybe not.
But if you got up there and told the world what you did, and stopped these monsters from ever doing it again-- you let her see that-- she'll forgive you.
And I swear on my own daughter, I will not let you go down for it.
Okay.
I'll do it.
Denise Gallo? Who are you? Someone who knew your father.
He, uh, wanted you to have this.
I want you to know, he was a decent man.
I believe I just figured out why you fancy this place so much.
- Why's that? - Colors and the candle light.
They make you look tremendously handsome.
Dr.
Agard, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were hitting on me.
If you didn't know better, I never would've gotten the chance.
- What's that? - It's just a little something I saw that made me think of you.
And-- - And what? It's our two month anniversary.
I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
And I certainly don't expect you to to have remembered, but-- - Paula, of course I remembered.
Why do you think I got you this? That's the key to your apartment.
Yes, it is.
This is incredibly sweet.
But it isn't gonna fool me into believing that you had the faintest notion it was our two month anniversary.
You're right.
I didn't.
But I was gonna give you these tonight, anyway.
Which, if you think about it, makes it even more special.
Happy anniversary, Paula.
Happy anniversary, Harvey.
[phone buzzing.]
I--I didn't know if you'd come.
I'm sorry, Mark.
I can't do this.
[knocking at door.]
I didn't know if you'd come.
How could I not?
