1
What happened with the witness?
2
Nothing.
3
Nothing happened.
4
I couldn't fix it. So you're gonna quit?
5
It's either that or have
6
Lewis Lit fire me.
7
What are you talking about?
8
My first day, Lewis fired Gary Lipsky for screwing up a case.
9
He said if I did the same thing, I'd be gone just as fast.
10
Will you go back to the witness's house and get her to testify again?
11
I tried.
12
There's no way.
13
There's always a way.
14
Then why don't you go and convince her?
15
Because you screwed it up.
16
Oh, and you don't give a damn about the client.
17
Right.
18
It's not my job.
19
Does your job include giving a damn about me
20
because the least you could do is offer to stand up to Lewis for me?
21
Stand up for you?
22
I put my ass on the line for you.
23
But it turns out you may have had the balls to get this job,
24
but you don't have the courage to stick it out when it gets tough.
25
That's not true.
26
Isn't it?
27
You've had one foot out the door since you got here.
28
What are you talking about?
29
I'm talking about that briefcase being locked in your desk.
30
Yeah, I saw it, and I know what it is.
31
It's your backup plan in case this doesn't work out.
32
You can make some quick cash and go right back to the life you told me you didn't want to lead.
33
So if you want to quit, go ahead.
34
But this isn't because of Lewis, and it isn't because of me.
35
It's because you're afraid you might have to admit that you're not as smart as you think you are.
36
You lied.
37
That other drug test you showed me was a fake.
38
How'd you figure that out?
39
Someone once told me I have an eye for detail when it comes to important paperwork.
40
Well, maybe you're not as good as you think you are, or you would have caught it sooner.
41
Okay, so this was all some sort of test?
42
You blackmail me, you jeopardize my job.
43
Mike, stop.
44
Stop.
45
We all came out ahead, didn't we?
46
That new client's gonna bring us millions.
47
Jessica knows your name now.
48
It's a win -win.
49
You're right.
50
She does know my name.
51
Which is why she'll listen when I tell her exactly what happened.
52
Okay, but before you do that, It is that time again, isn't it?
53
What time?
54
Pee -in -a -cup time.
55
And now you know I'd fail.
56
Of course you can run to Mommy, tell your story, and take your chances.
57
Or you can take the test and trust that I'll keep it to myself as my way of thanking you.
58
You know, I actually did some reading of the Pearson -Hardman drug policy as well.
59
Turns out that you have to wait three months before you can request another drug test.
60
It's a little detail you might have missed, so drink up.
61
Oh, and I spoke to Tom Keller.
62
He says that he feels he'd be best served with the combination of me and Harvey.
63
Oh, you brought a sack lunch.
64
We would have shared.
65
Amusing.
66
As was this, your little lawsuit.
67
Take your sack of presents and run, kid.
68
You're in way over your head.
69
Oh, I think he'll be just fine.
70
Hello, Vivian.
71
Hello.
72
So the rookie called in the veteran.
73
No, no, I'm just here to watch.
74
I love spectator sports.
75
You enjoy watching the Yankees destroy a little league team?
76
David and Goliath happens to be one of my favorite stories.
77
Okay.
78
I'll bite.
79
What's in the bag?
80
Uh -oh.
81
Hey, hey, what are you doing?
82
Oh, do you recognize this carpet?
83
Make him get that out of here.
84
This is your own carpet, Mr. Korinski.
85
It's from Frank Carvello's apartment.
86
Come on.
87
You feel the fibers, the texture?
88
It's almost alive.
89
You brought bed bugs in here.
90
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
91
That's vandalism.
92
Assault.
93
You know, I'm happy that you put it that way, because that's exactly what we're going to be charging your client with.
94
What are you talking about?
95
He didn't just fail to eradicate a bed bug infestation.
96
He actually created one.
97
Yeah, he pulled the carpet from one of his old buildings.
98
Carpet that was already infested, and then he reinstalled it in my client's apartment to drive him out.
99
That's crazy.
100
You might want to warn your client about perjury.
101
We've got sworn testimony from the installer.
102
And a picture of the same carpet from one of his old buildings before it was renovated.
103
By the way, my wife and I really love what you've done with the place.
104
So it looks like we're talking about, what? assault, violations of rental codes, health codes,
105
and you know just basic codes of human decency.
106
And if a jury in New York heard all that, wow imagine the damages.
107
Harvey, spectate, please.
108
Just get that carpet out of here.
109
So Vivian, how am I doing for my first time?
110
Yes?
111
Stud, you'd like to know your case, the pro bono?
112
I won.
113
How exciting for you.
114
Like I said, it's just a pro bono case.
115
It's not going to help your career.
116
I did also manage to sign 15 new clients who are all suing for the same harassment, and they will be paying,
117
so you can multiply this number.
118
times 15.
119
It's not bad for Rookie League.
120
Our technical analysts predict stocks that are likely to have larger than expected volatility.
121
These predictions are handed out to our traders on a daily basis in the form of a tip sheet.
122
All these traders get the same tip sheet?
123
Exactly.
124
They're prints on a red paper so they can't be copied.
125
Every trader is responsible for returning their sheet at the end of the day so they can be shredded.
126
So no records exist?
127
We keep electronic copies.
128
I'll need to see those copies for the last year.
129
I thought you might.
130
I'm assuming you own a computer?
131
One more thing.
132
I'll need to see a list of all the trades Morello assets made in the last year.
133
Well, I can't give you that.
134
Why not?
135
Tip sheets have expired, but our current positions, that's proprietary information.
136
I can't release that on just your sake, so...
137
That's not a request.
138
We need to protect the company.
139
And we're covered under attorney -client privilege.
140
And I'm telling you, I'm not giving you s*.
141
You think I don't know what attorney -client privilege is?
142
You know, you corporate lawyers look down your noses at us because we didn't go to Ivy League schools.
143
Just because I don't have a fancy degree doesn't mean you get to come into my house and order me around.
144
And you go wine to Morello, and I'll knock you on your ass at the pussy you are.
145
Well, Sam, I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I've been working for your boss, Dean Morello, for a very long time.
146
And let me tell you something.
147
You try to stonewall me, you'll be out on the street in less than a week.
148
As for the other stuff, do I think that I'm smarter than you?
149
You're damn right I do.
150
But if you think that means that I can't kick your ass up and down this floor, take a swing and see what happens.
151
I didn't think so.
152
You were right.
153
We called every one of them.
154
You see the guy?
155
No. Start looking.
156
Hey, wait a minute.
157
Miss Williams.
158
Do you remember me?
159
I'm Mike Ross from the office.
160
I remember you.
161
Do you mind if I ask you what you're doing here today?
162
We were invited to come and hear a settlement offer.
163
Really?
164
Excuse me.
165
He came here himself.
166
Big mistake.
167
Sorry to ruin your little brunch, but I think you know damn well that you can't legally address my clients.
168
Hey, I just came for the juice.
169
Mmm.
170
I'm pulp free.
171
I know I can't talk to your clients directly, but thank God you're here, Harv, because what I can do is I can talk to you.
172
Harvey, Emerson Petroleum is offering $25 ,000 to each and every one of your clients.
173
They don't take that.
174
This trial stretches out for years.
175
Cross -examinations will be brutal.
176
They'll take our settlement, and this whole thing will be gone tomorrow.
177
Now, if any of your clients want to get in touch with me, here's my number.
178
Mr. Ross?
179
Harvey?
180
Erase that number.
181
You're not going to get away with what you're doing, you know that, right?
182
What?
183
I just addressed you with a raised voice.
184
Sometimes my ears aren't so good.
185
If other people heard me, I apologize, Harvey.
186
I'm just glad you were smart enough to figure out I booked the Waldorf.
187
Hmm.
188
I think I need to take this.
189
I'm guessing it's one of your clients wanting to take my settlement offer.
190
Hello.
191
Tanner, I'm coming after you.
192
Oh, I got your number.
193
Sorry to keep you waiting.
194
That's okay.
195
I got your email with a list of other law firms.
196
I respect your effort to make amends by referring new clients.
197
Oh, that wasn't a list for client referrals.
198
Those are firms you should consider for representation.
199
We're no longer your attorneys, Tori.
200
What?
201
We have no choice, really.
202
It would be impossible to represent you when we plan on suing you for every penny you've got.
203
Is this a joke?
204
Aberdeen Solutions.
205
Created in June of 2006.
206
Sold to Dryback 2010.
207
Dissolved two days ago.
208
Before that, it was Bolton Finances.
209
And before that, it was Norton Services, Littleton, LLC.
210
Where did you get those?
211
We know what you did, Tori.
212
You couldn't have subpoenaed these files.
213
And yet we have them.
214
Take a look.
215
They're all there.
216
And now we have proof.
217
Proof of what?
218
Those are all legitimate corporations used for...
219
Stealing money and lining your own pockets.
220
But don't take my word for it.
221
Guys?
222
Hello, Tori.
223
Yeah, we hired Stan to do a little independent consulting on our behalf, and he's come up with some very interesting connections.
224
It was easy.
225
even if I don't really have a degree.
226
There was that vacation you invited me on last year to your new house in the Bahamas.
227
A house you bought with money you stole from this firm.
228
My firm.
229
Jessica.
230
Jessica what?
231
You can't use any of this.
232
We have attorney -client privilege.
233
With Drybeck Accounting, yes.
234
With the shelf companies, no. Unfortunately for you, you're listed on the shelf companies.
235
You stole from me.
236
You either come clean now, or the only time you'll see your children in the next decade will be during prison visiting hours.
237
Somebody call the police?
238
You.
239
What are you doing here?
240
Hey, Matt.
241
Relax.
242
The detective was across the street the whole time.
243
We knew Jason would send somebody.
244
What?
245
Who do you think told Jason you went to the police in the first place?
246
I did.
247
Harvey showed me the results of the DNA test.
248
Two splotches.
249
Jason Black's and yours.
250
Okay, um...
251
Uh, I want to file a report.
252
Oh.
253
Sure.
254
I'll take you downtown, you look through the books, maybe you find something.
255
Maybe you don't.
256
But your real problem isn't that guy.
257
It's Jason Black.
258
Somebody was gonna turn him in once before.
259
And I think you know the lengths he'll go to to shut somebody up.
260
No, I don't.
261
No, I don't.
262
We were here this time.
263
We won't be here next time.
264
What would happen if he would have killed me this time?
265
Well, you'd be dead and we'd have caught the guy and used him to put Jason away from murder.
266
We should have done that, don't we?
267
Harvey, behave.
268
What do you want?
269
What do you want from me?
270
What do you want from me?
271
Confess to the crime.
272
Turn in Jason Black.
273
No, I can't do that.
274
Yes, you can.
275
I'll tell you why.
276
You were 16.
277
A juvenile.
278
That's three years maximum.
279
Less if you're the one who comes forward.
280
We'll get you a deal.
281
You can't make that promise, you're not the DA.
282
You'd rather negotiate with Jason?
283
Because he'll kill you and you know it.
284
It was his idea.
285
I don't want to do it.
286
I didn't want to do it.
287
Okay.
288
Get dressed.
289
You come with me.
290
Go.
291
Hey, by the way, how'd you get that bruise?
292
Sometimes a good guy's got to do bad things to make the bad guys pay.
293
That's right.
294
I thought...
295
Harvey said he wanted to see me.
296
He said get your ass in here. Am I fired?
297
You should be. That implies I'm not?
298
Not necessarily.
299
However, if I'm going to accept this situation, that I want to know everything there is to know.
300
Okay. Where do I start?
301
Why don't you tell me how the hell you got Harvey to hire you in the first place?
302
Fire up that laptop and I'll show you.
303
Ask me anything there is to know about the law.
304
That's how you did it.
305
You beat him?
306
Well, I'm not Harvey.
307
I don't need a computer.
308
Marbita file.
309
Done.
310
Schofield subpoena.
311
Done.
312
Johnson strategy.
313
Written.
314
Every single one of your assignments was completed by me last night.
315
What else do we have left to do?
316
Filing?
317
Filing.
318
Doc review.
319
Spell check.
320
Grunt work?
321
Yes, grunt work.
322
Because that's your job.
323
Let it be known that I can do your work faster
324
and better than any one of you without shedding a tear or breaking a sweat,
325
but I don't because writing briefs and recommending arguments is how you learn.
326
You go out to any other firm right now at this stage of your career, you won't have this opportunity.
327
If you don't believe me, I will write you the best recommendation you have ever seen and you can find out for yourself.
328
Go ahead.
329
Any takers?
330
That's what I thought.
331
Now I have 10 new cases here.
332
Who wants in?
333
What do you guys waiting for?
334
Come and get him.
335
By the way, where'd you find that
336
Yard Drive anyway?
337
Ah, I pulled it out of the back of a photocopier.
338
Gentlemen, as you are now in control of the company, we thought it best to bring a problem to your attention.
339
I was helpless of you.
340
These are amended copies of the allegations against your company by the Jarvis Homeowners Association?
341
Nice try.
342
I looked into those allegations.
343
Not a single expert has backed one of their claims.
344
Oh, one has now.
345
Keith Hoyt.
346
Who better to speak to the harmful effects than the man who designed the wind farm himself?
347
No, no. If he goes through with this, that company goes out of business.
348
There's no way he kills his own company.
349
You're right.
350
He wouldn't, but I would.
351
And as you pointed out, Keith's judgment has been impaired lately.
352
So I convinced him to let me make the decisions going forward.
353
I now have power of attorney, and I'd rather see this company worth nothing than let you have it.
354
This is bullshit.
355
Let him finish.
356
Something's coming.
357
We have three choices here.
358
We move forward with the suit, lose -lose.
359
We can give you your money back, plus the $500 ,000, or you and I can play poker for it.
360
And I'm not giving you your money back.
361
Thank you, Daniel.
362
But I'm not here to dispute anything.
363
After all, I was high.
364
I was high because I was being forced to work for you.
365
A man who, it turns out, knew CM was negligent before I ever even took the case.
366
This is not the time.
367
Shut up, Lewis.
368
Don't do this.
369
If you go, I go.
370
Do you deny knowing about the defects?
371
Unequivocally.
372
And you deny writing this memo?
373
Sending it to Tanner, knowing that he would come after this entire firm?
374
That's why he settled because you told him it wouldn't hold up.
375
That's wild conjecture.
376
And it's bullshit.
377
Why'd he settle?
378
He settled because I did what I do.
379
That is not an answer.
380
Yes, it is.
381
This ends here.
382
The two of you have now slandered me, which violates the morality clause of the partner's agreement.
383
It's not slander if it's the truth.
384
Unfortunately, you don't have a shred of evidence because the evidence doesn't exist.
385
Actually, it does.
386
This is a partners only meeting.
387
So have Tanner sue me.
388
But in the meantime, I think the rest of the partners are going to want to see this.
389
It's a signed affidavit from Lawrence Kemp stating
390
that he told Daniel Hardman about the defects in the CM hood six years ago.
391
May 7th was the date of that meeting, per your calendar to be exact.
392
You just denied knowing anything about that, unequivocally.
393
I guess you were just lying to cover up the fact that you were behind this entire suit in the first place.
394
Is that the basis of this?
395
A coerced lie from a man trying to say, my lawyer made me do it.
396
No way that holds up in court.
397
Doesn't have to.
398
Just as to make these
399
Harvard -educated lawyers understand that you made each
400
and every one of them spend $100 ,000 of their own money to buy you control of my firm.
401
I think we've heard all we needed to hear.
402
Harvey has admitted to violating the drug policy.
403
All those in favor of his dismissal...
404
Looks like you lost.
405
I'm glad you brought up the bylaws.
406
Fraudulently suing your own firm is grounds for firing.
407
You have no proof of that?
408
All those in favor of Daniel Hardman's dismissal.
409
Hey, Harvey, I know I'm not a partner, but do you mind if I...
410
Go ahead.
411
Nice.
412
Daniel, that $3 million of our money you've spent on yourself, consider your partnership bought out.
413
Okay, look, Harvey...
414
Shut your mouth.
415
I risked everything for you.
416
Then I did it again and again.
417
Wait, you weren't there.
418
I didn't have to be.
419
Jessica?
420
You don't work for Jessica.
421
You work for me.
422
I know I do, but I was just trying to get you what you wanted.
423
Your name on the door.
424
No, you got Edward Darby's name on the door.
425
My part of the deal is gone.
426
What?
427
You never told me that.
428
I didn't think I needed to tell you that because I didn't think you would ever betray me.
429
Harvey, look at what we've done.
430
You and me.
431
You broke the Chinese wall.
432
I got information directly from Scotty.
433
That's two ethical violations that six weeks ago would have made your stomach turn.
434
That's not why you did it.
435
Fine, but look me in the eye and tell me it's not true anyway.
436
You know what?
437
It doesn't matter, because you don't get to make my decisions for me.
438
Isn't that what you were trying to do for me?
439
This is a private conversation.
440
You want to have it out.
441
Let's have it out.
442
Right now.
443
You might want to go.
444
Sorry.
445
You're back in the associate's pool.
446
Harvey, come on.
447
Turns out you're not the best lawyer I've ever seen.
448
In fact, you're fired.
449
No. He's not.
450
You're going to overrule me on that, too?
451
You can go.
452
I didn't overrule you on the other.
453
I beat you fair and square.
454
No, you didn't.
455
You're right.
456
I cheated like you.
457
You jumped to the other side.
458
You put me on the other side.
459
I had a deal that put your name right next to mine.
460
And it wasn't even up there yet, and you started acting like it was on top of mine.
461
To protect you.
462
Bullshit.
463
This wasn't about protecting me.
464
This was about advancing you and that's what this whole thing is about.
465
What?
466
Hartman said it.
467
I didn't think it was true.
468
He said, you don't trust me.
469
He meant, you're afraid of me.
470
Afraid of you?
471
Boy, I just kicked your ass.
472
And you didn't just want it.
473
You begged me for it.
474
So now, you're going to stay here, be humble, and learn your goddamn place.
475
How long have you been waiting here?
476
Since I found out what you need.
477
What I need is for you to leave me alone.
478
No, what you need is information on Ava Hesington.
479
Look, in 2008, her company tried to destroy evidence of...
480
An oil spill?
481
Okay, well, in 2010...
482
They bought off a whistleblower.
483
And if the next thing you're going to tell me is about an environmental impact study in 2006, don't.
484
You think you're not replaceable?
485
I got all that from an associate.
486
I picked at random.
487
I've been doing this before I met you and I'll be doing it long after I've forgotten all about you
488
You had enough no no, you know what I haven't because you haven't
489
Excuse me you haven't said whatever you have to say to rip me to shreds enough
490
so that you can start to forgive me
491
So go ahead
492
Whatever it takes I can take it go Harvey I am sorry all right, but I need you to listen to me now listen to you
493
You know when I would have listened to you that night Jessica threatened me.
494
I don't care
495
Anyone comes at you with any threat at all, you come to me.
496
I don't give a shit if it's the Queen of England.
497
You come to me.
498
You tell me.
499
You tell me everything.
500
That's what goddamn loyalty is.
501
Well, look who it is.
502
The ghost of Christmas past Harvey Reginald Specter.
503
Speaking of the past, eh, Elliot?
504
FDR called.
505
He wants his bow tie back.
506
Oh, if you'd had rebuttals like that, maybe you would have gotten past me in moot court just once.
507
Trust me, Archibald.
508
I'm way past you.
509
Oh, I guess you are.
510
Look at you, huh?
511
Tom Ford suit, $1 ,000 hairdo.
512
What happened to the skirt -chasing degenerate I knew back at Harvard?
513
Oh, him?
514
He's a named partner at a firm ten times bigger than yours.
515
Bigger?
516
Sounds like somebody's trying to compensate for three huge losses.
517
Or somebody's living in the past and too afraid to take me on in the present.
518
You're the one who's afraid.
519
I think you've got a little PTSD, post -traumatic stemple disorder.
520
Why don't we go head -to -head right now?
521
Oh, I'd love to, but unfortunately my case is up on the docket.
522
But let's do this again really soon, okay?
523
AYZ Technologies versus Janus Microprocessors.
524
Mike Ross for the plaintiff, Your Honor.
525
A. Elliot Stemple for the defense.
526
What are you doing here?
527
Oh, I'm sorry.
528
Did I forget to put the name of my firm on the complaint?
529
I work at Pierce Inspector.
530
That's Spectre, as in Harvey Reginald Spectre.
531
I'm ready to hear pretrial motions.
532
Motion to substitute counsel, Your Honor.
533
On what grounds?
534
On the grounds that he's a pussy.
535
What's that, Mr. Spector?
536
I was just wondering if he has a copy of his motion, because we never got one.
537
Not with me, Your Honor.
538
Something suddenly came up.
539
My niece, she took ill.
540
Well, when your family is sick, you have to tend to them.
541
Your Honor, Mr. Stemple may not have a copy of his motion, but we do have a copy of his family tree.
542
He has no nieces.
543
I meant niece figuratively.
544
She is actually my goddaughter.
545
And what exactly is her name?
546
Sandra Silverstein.
547
Your Honor, that's the same fictitious goddaughter that's taken ill every time Mr. Stemple's needed a continuance in the last five years.
548
Sounds serious.
549
Have you tried acupuncture?
550
They are completely out of line, Your Honor.
551
The only thing out of line is you.
552
Mr. Stemple, not only will you not be replacing yourself, you'll be paying the court a $2 ,000 fine.
553
Hmm.
554
Well, look who it is.
555
Bonnie and Clyde.
556
Just the people I wanted to see.
557
What do you want, Sean?
558
To serve you with this.
559
What the hell is that?
560
He wants all files relating to the Gillis Industries takeover.
561
Oh, I don't want the files.
562
I'm taking them.
563
Bullshit.
564
We have 60 days to fight that or comply.
565
You want to tell him or should I?
566
It's not a subpoena, Harvey.
567
It's a search warrant.
568
So you're gonna give me all the files or you're gonna head downtown with these two fine gentlemen.
569
Okay, Sean Have it your way.
570
You're going to take that haul.
571
You're going to run into what appears to be the mummified remains of a legal secretary.
572
Her name is Norma.
573
She's going to limp you up to the 60th floor,
574
where you will find 30 years worth of files that haven't been sorted since the Reagan administration.
575
Where's it the 56th floor?
576
It could be the 35th floor for all I know.
577
Point is, while you're trying to find the Ark of the Covenant, we'll be downtown in front of a judge blocking this bullshit.
578
Do you think the threat of you getting to a judge before
579
I find what I want is going to get me to leave?
580
Then stay.
581
Hey, but who do you think is gonna get the job done faster?
582
You and those two windbreakers or Bonnie and Clyde?
583
Lewis.
584
I know you're a stickler for the rules, so I figured I'd just come by to return my ID.
585
You want an explanation?
586
I want to see you perp walk through the bullpen with your pretty little jacket draped over your handcuffs.
587
But until then, yeah, I'll take an explanation.
588
When I found out the truth about Mike Ross, it had already been done. By Harvey.
589
Right after he made senior partner over me, that's when he hired the fraud.
590
That's the correct timeline, right?
591
Yes.
592
So instead of turning him in, you cover it up.
593
Lewis.
594
And the one time that I do something, you don't cover it up at all.
595
You throw me to the wolves.
596
I saved you from the wolves.
597
I'll ask you for the smallest gesture just to allow my career to continue with dignity
598
and you couldn't muster the tiniest shred of compassion.
599
What do you want me to say?
600
I want you to tell me you're a liar! And a hypocrite!
601
I want you to say you're sorry.
602
I am a liar.
603
And I am a hypocrite.
604
But I will not say I'm sorry.
605
because I did what I did to protect this firm.
606
Well, looks like the captain's about to go down with their ship.
607
Bullshit.
608
You want something?
609
Oh, I told you.
610
I want to see you in... In handcuffs?
611
If that were true, the police would be here instead of you.
612
No. You wanted to see me squirm before asking me for what you really want.
613
I'm not gonna give you the satisfaction.
614
So you might as well spit it out.
615
You asked me what I wanted once before, and I told you, and then you told me that I couldn't have it. But now I can.
616
Pearson.
617
Spectre.
618
Wit.
619
Harvey, you're just in time.
620
Jessica's on her way down with the partnership agreement.
621
Are you here to be my witness?
622
He's here to keep me from ripping your face off.
623
Oh, I see.
624
Now the big brother's here.
625
Okay, that's enough.
626
Lewis, you got everything you wanted and you are done taking it out on him.
627
Because no matter what you do, I'm not letting him quit.
628
Then I'll just fire him.
629
You can't.
630
I can.
631
And I will.
632
Because Jessica would rather he be fired than you all go to jail.
633
No one's going to jail.
634
See?
635
She knows what's what.
636
I sign the agreement.
637
He's done and then I hire Katrina back as my associate.
638
And that's not going to happen.
639
What are you talking about?
640
Lewis, I'm afraid you've made your last dick take to me as named partner.
641
I'm not going to let you take this away from me.
642
I'm not taking anything away from you.
643
You are still named partner right after you sign this.
644
I added a little something extra after you finished drafting it.
645
This says I'm co -conspirator hiring a fraud.
646
You are.
647
You became one the second you used him to get your name on the door.
648
I know I'm not a real lawyer, but that sounds like he is to me.
649
I am a real lawyer.
650
He is.
651
I'm not signing him.
652
Lewis, here's the thing.
653
I told you not to tell anybody about this, and then you went and you shouted it to Robert Zane,
654
and then you made me tell the partners.
655
And the capper is there are about 100 people waiting to greet you after the unveiling you arranged, which won't happen if you don't sign that.
656
I can still go to the police.
657
Yeah, you could, but you won't.
658
because you used that little secret to get where you are right now.
659
It was the only bullet in your chamber, and I am taking your gun away.
660
You set me up.
661
You set yourself up, just like you did with Charles Forsman.
662
And what I learned from him was once you get something that you want, you will do whatever it takes to keep it.
663
So why don't you go ahead and sign so that we can get out to your goddamn party.
664
What are you doing here, Louis?
665
I noticed you didn't come to the vote this morning.
666
No, I didn't.
667
I was busy closing a deal for my client.
668
Let me guess, you had him backdate your sale to yesterday so it falls under your old pay structure?
669
No, Louis, that's something you would do because unlike you, I don't actually care about the money.
670
Expect me to believe that?
671
I don't care whether you believe it or not.
672
My compensation package was about recognizing what I do.
673
Money was just a consequence.
674
That's why I didn't mind sharing it with Donna.
675
Now, get out.
676
No, you did care about the money because it was the last thing you had that separated you from me.
677
Excuse me?
678
I got named partner, I got
679
Donna, and that drove you nuts.
680
So you shed me at the meeting and then you pretended to apologize.
681
I did apologize, Lewis.
682
I came to you like a man and then when I gave you the chance to make it up to me,
683
you choked like you always do.
684
Well, how you like me now.
685
Because the only thing you had left was that you made more, and now you don't, and I win.
686
You didn't win anything.
687
What are you talking about?
688
I'm talking about the fact that no matter what you get, you're always wanting more.
689
And the problem with always wanting more is that the second you get it, it can always be taken away.
690
You're not reversing that vote.
691
I'm not talking about the vote.
692
I'm talking about what you value most.
693
That's right.
694
might not happen today or tomorrow, but it's going to happen because I'm going to make it happen.
695
One day you're going to walk into your office and she's going to be gone.
696
Mr. Spector, you said there's no record of me ever having an apartment in Boston.
697
Can you explain to the jury why there's no record of you ever having lived there?
698
I'm not the one on trial here.
699
No, you're not.
700
You're the one in that chair.
701
So why don't you answer the question or we can stop this whole thing right now.
702
There's no record of me living there because I sublet up there when I had my place down here.
703
So it is possible that a person not have a Boston address without it meaning that they didn't attend Harvard.
704
Great.
705
Thank you so much.
706
This witness is excused.
707
What exactly is your reason for not having an address up there?
708
Unless you're too afraid to answer my questions.
709
No, I'm not afraid of you at all.
710
My reason is that I chose to live with my friend Trevor during that time.
711
The only problem with that is your friend Trevor has lived in Brooklyn his entire life.
712
Exactly.
713
A three hour and twenty minute drive from Harvard.
714
So you say you made that drive every day?
715
No, I only went up for tests because that's all I had to do.
716
I guess you needed some extra tutoring, huh?
717
You expect these people to believe
718
that you graduated from the most competitive law school in the world without ever going to class?
719
See, that's funny because you actually expect these people to believe
720
that I never went to law school at all
721
and yet still somehow managed to convince the smartest lawyers in the world to make me their youngest partner ever.
722
Whose story is looking more far -fetched now?
723
Oh, no answer?
724
Great.
725
No more questions, Your Honor.
726
I don't know if you've noticed this or not, but he's kicking your ass.
727
And I'm about to kick back.
728
Are you two discussing something that defense should be made aware of?
729
Just talking about the Knicks.
730
Now is the prosecution ready to call their first witness?
731
The prosecution's first witness is this affidavit from every single member of the defendant's supposed graduating class.
732
Objection, Your Honor.
733
I haven't seen that.
734
Well, then let me read it to you.
735
We collectively come forward to swear the following regarding Michael James Ross.
736
We never saw him.
737
We never knew him.
738
We never heard of him.
739
And it makes us sick that he's taking the good name of Harvard Law School and throwing it down the toilet.
740
Please find him guilty on all counts.
741
Your Honor, I move to strike that document right now.
742
On what grounds?
743
On the grounds that it's completely fabricated.
744
Where's your proof?
745
Besides the fact that I actually went to Harvard, there's no way you could have contacted all of those people since last night.
746
Then I suggest you call every one of these people and put them on the stand.
747
But when you do, every single one of them is going to look you in the eye and say, who the hell are you?
748
What?
749
No snappy comeback?
750
You can try to trick these people all you want.
751
But the fact is, you didn't go to Harvard, and this proves it.
752
Objection, he's testifying.
753
What I'm doing is winning.
754
All right, that's enough.
755
I think this is a good time to take a break.
756
You here to bring me bread and water?
757
If it was up to me, I'd let you starve.
758
Let me guess.
759
You're here to tell me how much time they're tacking onto my sentence.
760
Well, it doesn't matter how much.
761
Because I'm gonna get to him.
762
And I'm gonna get to you.
763
Sorry, Frank, but you're not getting anything tacked onto your sentence.
764
Your parting gift is going back to the maximum security hellhole you came from.
765
No way.
766
You don't have the power to make that happen.
767
You're right.
768
I don't.
769
But my friend at the SEC sure does.
770
Why are you so upset, Frank?
771
Does it have anything to do with the fact
772
that every inmate in there knows that you're an informant and you'd be lucky to make it through your first night?
773
You think I'm afraid?
774
I think you're shing in your pants right now, which is why I think you'd be interested in what's behind door number two.
775
Stay here at Danbury.
776
You do five more years.
777
And if Mike so much as gets a pebble in his shoe, you go back to door number one.
778
I'll take that hatred in your face as a yes.
779
Because it's the same luck you had the last time I put you away.
780
Mr. Forrest, so many lives were ruined that night.
781
Your daughters, her boyfriends, yours.
782
Is there a question?
783
Someone had to pay for that, didn't they?
784
Yeah, they sure as hell did.
785
Is that why you paid for Maria Gomez to go to rehab?
786
To keep her from testifying at Mr. Bailey's trial?
787
What?
788
Objection, Your Honor.
789
She's putting the victim on trial.
790
My client is the victim here.
791
Ms. Pearson, you better back this up fast.
792
Then ask the witness to answer my question.
793
I never even heard of that woman until yesterday.
794
Your Honor, the defense would like to admit into evidence the admissions form
795
for an Allison Dobson into the Pathways Rehabilitation Center from 12 years ago.
796
Who is that?
797
She was Maria Gomez's roommate, and I'm going to put her on the stand.
798
No, that can't be.
799
No, you can't do that.
800
And she's going to say that
801
Maria told her that she felt terrible about abandoning her friend.
802
Objection, hearsay.
803
No, she won't.
804
Overruled.
805
And she's going to testify that you paid for Maria to be there.
806
That had nothing to do with anything.
807
That's not what she's going to say.
808
I don't care.
809
She's lying.
810
Why would she lie?
811
She just wants to put the record straight.
812
The record is straight.
813
Not according to her roommate.
814
She's lying.
815
Objection badgering.
816
How could you know?
817
Because Maria Gomez didn't have a roommate.
818
What did you just say?
819
Yes.
820
I paid for her.
821
Because she's a junkie who'd say anything to get him out of what he did.
822
So I got her out of the way because he did it.
823
Mr. Forrest...
824
He did it!
825
Your Honor, the defense asks that Mr. Bailey be exonerated and his sentence be commuted immediately.
826
Mr. Marsden?
827
We have no objections, Your Honor.
828
Then the jury may be excused.
829
And Mr. Bailey, you're free.
830
I can't believe it.
831
We did it.
832
We did it.
833
I can't thank you enough.
834
You don't have to thank me, Leonard.
835
You just have to walk out that door.
836
That was one hell of a cross.
837
Well, I'd like to say it was no big deal,
838
but I'd be lying if I didn't say it was the most satisfying woman of my entire career.
839
What's this?
840
Got a call from Jim Reynolds.
841
He said that if you didn't show today, they were going to sign with me.
842
And we both know you didn't show.
843
Do you want to merge?
844
I said all that stuff about rivals because I didn't want to say this in front of Harvey.
845
But I know you tanked the Sutter case for Mike.
846
and I can see what you've been doing for Rachel.
847
So this isn't just professional. For me, it's personal.
848
Robert.
849
Jessica, you got knocked down the mountain.
850
Without help, you're not gonna be able to get back up.
851
Please, take my hand.
852
I appreciate your offer more than you know, Robert.
853
But I've had my name versed for too long.
854
I can't go back to having it last.
855
Jessica, if you don't do this, you're not gonna have it anywhere.
856
That's so be it.
857
Besides, we both know lawyers are nothing but power -hungry bottom -feeders anyway.
858
As of this moment, you're no longer in charge of the associates.
859
Says you in what army?
860
I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.
861
I said you can't do that.
862
Oh, yes, I can.
863
Because even though Harvey clearly didn't tell you, as of last night, I'm a senior partner.
864
You're what?
865
That's right.
866
I gave Harvey a check for half a million dollars.
867
I'm a partner now, Lewis.
868
Which means your whole you're up here and I'm down here, bullsh, not anymore.
869
Partner?
870
You're not even a lawyer.
871
Neither are the chief operating officers of four of the top nine firms in the world.
872
This is bullsh.
873
I didn't agree to any of this.
874
I don't care whether you agreed to it or not.
875
You're going to live with it.
876
And I don't give a sh.
877
What your supposed title is.
878
I'm not giving up my associates.
879
And if you think you're going to leave this bathroom without giving me the respect I deserve...
880
I'm not giving up my associates!
881
That's enough!
882
Harvey, what the hell kind of s* did you pull?
883
Shut up and listen, Lewis.
884
Donna asked for a seat at the table, and I gave her one.
885
Because when she worked for me, she had my back and would kill anyone coming for me.
886
And when she worked for you, she did the same exact thing.
887
Not to mention, if she left tomorrow, this firm would be a pile of rubble within 15 minutes.
888
So then give her a raise.
889
You don't make her goddamn senior partner.
890
If Jessica were here, she'd tell you to do the same exact thing.
891
Well, Lewis, Jessica isn't here.
892
But I am.
893
Thank you, Harvey.
894
Don't thank me yet.
895
You ask for a vote, you got it.
896
But the person who's gonna decide when that vote is, is me.
897
And I say our first order of business is putting out word that Harvey Specter is the new managing partner.
898
Now, you want to vote on that?
899
Let's do it.
900
But if it's not unanimous, we're gonna have a big problem.
901
No problem here.
902
What about you, Lewis?

No problem.
906
You're managing partner.
907
Good.
908
Then I suggest the two of you get your shit together before tomorrow, because right now I got some things to take care of.
909
Let me get this straight.
910
You'll come at me for Jim Allen's losses if I prosecute Ricky Crosby, who you know is guilty and wasn't even your client until today?
911
What he was isn't important.
912
What he is is getting a deal.
913
So take your medicine and count yourself lucky that we're willing to horse trade.
914
Because if we weren't, you'd be f*ed right now.
915
Which you are anyway, because you're going to be issuing a public apology for going after an innocent man.
916
No way.
917
I admit that.
918
It ruins me for higher office.
919
What do you think I'm here for?

921
I will issue an apology first thing tomorrow.
922
No, you will issue one now.
923
Because we're not giving you a chance to weasel out of this.
924
We even did you a sob and brought one up for you.

After he signs this, there's going to be a 13th.
927
Malick.
928
You know, you think this is funny.
929
But sob story or not, a crime was committed here.
930
And you are using it to ruin my career. So you...
931
You better watch your backs.
932
Tomorrow's gonna be what tomorrow's gonna be, Andy.
933
But for today, Jessica Pearson sends her regards.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
