Suits

Previously, on "Suits"...

I know why Brian really left.

Unless you want Faye Richardson

to suddenly be made aware of the situation,

you'll make me your associate by the end of the week.

I know where Gretchen is, Louis.

She's working for me on a temporary basis.

I'm sorry. Say that again,

because my ears are a little clogged with rage.

If you just calm down, I assure you,

once I get up and running, you can have her back.

Susan made a mistake and owned up to what she did.

- Is this true? - It is.

I made a terrible mistake.

It was a guard who was getting suspicious

of what was going on in there.

- They wanted me to put him down. - And then what happened?

I killed him.

They tied all my bonuses to all the key dates.

So you covered up a murder?

I had a wife and daughter. What was I supposed to do?

I let this shit go.

You're gonna sign something saying

I had nothing to do with this.

Inflating my assets to get a loan isn't shady.

- Everybody does it. - If you involve Donna

in this deal, I will pull every string I have

to tie your project up in court for the next 20 years.

Okay, see you soon.

Love you too.

Is that for me?

Why, yes, it is.

A handsome coffee for my handsome man.

What do you want?

Why do I have to want something to give you a compliment?

You don't, but you do.

You know you're not the only one who can do that.

You heard me on the phone with my father, didn't you?

Okay, you're the only one who can do that.

But if you're gonna ask me to come to breakfast,

I don't think it's a great idea.

But I wanna tell him about us,

and I thought we could do it together.

I get that, Donna, but in case you forgot,

the first time I met the man,

I told him if he took your money

I'd shut down his deal.

Harvey, that was a long time ago.

And it was not so long ago that he accused me

of putting you at risk over Mike.

Okay, maybe it is best if I tell him myself.

But you're the two most important men in my life,

and if I tell him that I choose you,

he's not gonna hold a grudge.

He's gonna be happy for us.

In other words,

next time, it's the three of us.

Mm-hmm, you bet your ass it is.

And he's in town for a week, so put your big boy pants on

and find us a restaurant, or my father won't be

the only Paulsen you have to worry about.

Katrina, can I have a moment?

Of course,

but if you're here about the Rose merger, you should...

I'm here about something else.

The other day, you brought Susan into my office,

and I want to know why.

I told you: because I thought

she deserved credit for owning up to her mistake.

And this isn't my first rodeo.

So why don't you tell me what really happened?

If it's not your first rodeo, then you know what happened.

She tried to pull something,

and I brought her to you to show her it wouldn't work.

And what you should have done is report her to me.

Why? So you could fire her?

I can't know what I would have done

if you don't tell me what she did.

Well, that's not going to happen, Faye,

because I believe she deserved a second chance

and that I handled the situation properly.

Good.

What do you mean, "good"?

You saw a problem,

and even though you took care of it

differently than I would have, you didn't let it slide,

which makes you the perfect woman for the job.

This is a code of conduct.

Which I want you to adapt for the firm.

I get it. The partners won't buy in

if it doesn't come from one of their own.

No, they won't.

Okay, I'll do it... On one condition.

I write the code as I see fit.

You accept it wholesale or not at all.

Another indication I made the right choice.

Tommy, what are you doing here so early?

Did something happen with the Cooper deposition?

Actually, Alex, I'm here because I know

how hard you've been working.

And I think it's time that you got a reward.

You're giving me Masterson Construction?

I am.

But I thought you were gonna give it to Craig.

The thing is Craig's not married.

What does that have to do with it?

A man with a wife and children truly understands

what it's like to be a member of a family.

So I get to jump him in line

because I was fortunate enough to fall in love?

That's how it works in corporate America, Alex.

Maybe it is, but I still don't want to do this to Craig.

Well, if it'll make you feel better,

whether you take Masterson or not,

Craig is not going to get them.

- Tommy... - Tell you what.

Just think about it. If you feel the same way

tomorrow, I'll, uh...

I'll get someone else.

Not bad...

If you're into million-dollar views, that is.

It's not much, but it's home.

Good to see you, Craig. You too, Alex.

Look, this isn't easy for me, so I'm just gonna say it.

I need a favor.

Anything. Just name it.

Your lawsuit against Panasonic.

Do you know it?

I've heard a few things,

but they're not my client.

Why?

Because they're my client.

There's an offer on the table,

and I need your firm to take it.

And if what I heard about that offer is true,

that's not a favor; that's tanking a case.

Are you really gonna make me say it?

You took my place in line, and I never recovered.

You owe me.

And whether you believe it or not, I don't owe you.

Here's what I have to say about that.

What is that?

That is Masterson Construction.

I know all about it, Alex.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Tommy Bratton may have chained me to a desk

for ten years,

but he left me with a parting gift.

I know you covered up a conspiracy.

And if you know all that, you know I was framed.

That doesn't mean that this can't hurt you,

especially in light of your firm's recent troubles.

I need this to close by the end of the week.

So get it done, or that gets out.

And then you can explain to everyone you know

what kind of man you really are.

All right, you sons of bitches.

- Excuse me? - Excuse yourself, asshole,

'cause you just had the B team.

Now you get the A team. You're gonna sue us?

You don't sue us. We sue you.

I'm gonna have your balls in a vise so tight,

you're gonna wish you were born without balls.

That's right, lady, I'm talking to you.

I'm gonna shove this lawsuit so far up your ass

you're gonna be the first lawyer in history

to die with a lawsuit in her ass.

I'm gonna burn you to the ground.

I'm gonna do a rain dance on your ashes.

Nobody messes with Louis Litt, least of all two slobs

from the firm Shitty & Shithead.

We're not lawyers.

- What happened? - We're Susan's parents.

She said we could visit.

She said the people here were so nice.

Well, of course you're Susan's parents.

You look exactly like her. Job well done.

She's very attractive.

Not in a cause-of-action type of way.

I'm just giving you a mock example

of how not to behave

when Susan's parents are in the conference room.

Holy shit. Carry on.

Oh, hey, if anybody asks,

my name really isn't Louis Litt.

It's Alex Williams.

Gretchen, I need you back.

Good morning to you too, Louis.

I don't have time for good mornings.

I just went to Conference Room C

and ripped them a new asshole.

Conference Room C?

Louis, those are Susan's parents.

I didn't know they were Susan's parents.

I was supposed to be in Conference Room A, not C.

Those letters have nothing to do with each other.

Then why'd you go to the wrong room?

Because Norma's granddaughter is temping on my desk.

You know what her name is? Norma III.
