Suits

Previously on... Suits

Katrina Bennett said she'd put the deal through

if you offered her a job.

You bribed her.

You bet your ass I did.

I decided to farm out the case.

Let me guess-- Daniel Hardman.

He's baiting you into breaching confidentiality.

And I'm ready to bite down and drag him in with me.

She was younger than you, prettier than you,

and of child-bearing age--

all of the things you are not, and you fired her for it.

You can't be the named defendant

on a gender-discrimination case

while we're suing Folsom Foods for the same thing.

I am not capitulating to that man.

You have 45 cases you can't afford.

Any way you slice it, I'm going to bleed you dry.

I put my reputation on the line to close Maria.

- Sheila, please. - I think you should go.

Meet Ms. Dana Scott.

- Scottie. - Harvey.

Oh, you two know each other?

We went to Harvard Law together.

I've been here longer than 75% of our associates,

and I love it,

and that's what I told them in my essay.

I'm going to Harvard.

When I get back to London, I'm getting married, Harvey.

What would you like me to say?

I'm Hanley Folsom, President of Folsom Foods.

Recently we've been victim to terrible allegations

that we've been discriminating against women.

We're in places like Marysville,

places where women want more than just jobs.

They want homes, families, and we support that.

And if they want advancement, we support that too.

Got to give it to him.

His food might suck,

but he makes a mean bullshit pie.

Okay, please don't put that image in my mind.

I'm eating. Thank you.

What've you got there-- vomit bagel...

Feces pancakes?

Look, I don't care what he says.

This is a man who won't promote women.

I want to steal a page from your book.

I already checked. There's no hot-mic footage from this.

Then interview the cameraman

or the sound guy, whatever it takes.

We need to catch this guy in a lie.

I already tried to hire an investigator.

The authorization got kicked back.

Do it anyway. I'll take care of it.

We need to talk about resources.

We do.

I hear clients' calls aren't being returned.

Hardman put seven cases on the fast track.

The rest have to take a backseat.

We can't just hang our clients out to dry.

We won't.

At 10:00 a.m., the library will be packed.

Instead of returning 113 calls,

I'm going to take an hour

and give them the state of the union.

- Oh, good. - Not good enough.

I need 40 more contract lawyers,

a dozen paralegals,

and Mike Ross just told me

he couldn't even hire an investigator.

That's right. He can't.

- We have to. - No.

- We need to invest in this. - Did you hear me?

We bit this off. We need to chew.

You're like a toddler. No.

All of these are bills.

We knew what we were getting into.

And then we took a hit from Monica Eton

and hired the contract lawyers.

We are out of money.

Use the line of credit.

It's gone.

What?

They have evaluated the situation,

and they know we're bleeding.

So we've got seven cases in seven cities

over the next two months.

So what are you proposing I do?

Okay, what do you have for me?

Rachel.

Rachel?

What's going on? What are you doing?

- I'm working. - On what?

One of the seven cases is in Massapequa,

so I'm seeing if one of the cities nearby

might have a private investigator.

Okay, so that's a map of Boston.

You're on what we commonly refer to as the Internet.

And then, up here,

you would just write "private investigator."

But then I wouldn't be able to see

what part of town I want to live in

when I go to Harvard.

Okay, so basically you haven't been working

for the last, what, 15 minutes?

Half hour...

45 minutes.

- Come on. - I am sorry.

I don't deal well with waiting.

You've done everything that you can do, all right?

You killed the LSATs.

You had a great interview. You're a legacy.

You're smoking hot.

They don't let people in because they're hot.

I would.

You do realize we're working on a gender-discrimination case.

That's what I'm doing-- working.

And hopefully that's what you'll be doing now too.

Change of plans.

Welcome to the team, hottie.

We're consolidating resources.

Jessica didn't approve the investigator?

Jessica approved anything we want,

for one case.

What? No, we have to fight them all.

And we will.

By letting six of them go?

Do you know how we won World War II?

Yeah, of course. Spock didn't let Kirk save Joan Collins

from getting hit by that car.

Wrong. We'd already won.

Kirk just would have changed the course of history.

I accept that.

Eisenhower had 156,000 men

for 8 possible invasion points, which means--

- 19,500 men per point. - Otherwise known as nothing.

He had to put everything that he had into one attack...

Normandy.

So the question is, where the hell is our Normandy?

That's easy. Bakersfield.

Lowest percentage of female promotions--

Highest percentage of female applicants.

And Hanley Folsom's brother-in-law runs the plant.

Exactly.

You want to launch an attack, you launch it from Bakersfield.

Hey, am I Spock or Kirk?

Uhura.

Walked right into it.

I got you an espresso, quad shot.

- I don't need coffee. - You might.

I'm fine.

What?

Oh, your suit's a little--

It's a client meeting, not a bachelor auction.

Yeah, about that--

What, are there too many clients to fit in the library?

We're using the conference room.

- They won't all fit. - They will.

There's been a slight complication.

Donna--

You will understand when you get there.

Now you're ready.

Donna.

Scottie? Harvey.

- How's married life? - I wouldn't know.

Divorced so soon?

I never took the plunge.

Oh, get over yourself.

I know I came here last time with cold feet

and blubbered over you like a 15-year-old,

but it wasn't about you.

It was about me.

So what's it about this time?

Bakersfield.

You are not taking my clients, Scottie.

We already did.

Like taking candy from a little Harvard baby.

You just said it wasn't about me.

Harvey, Bakersfield is everything,

and I've got them.

I've also got appointments with the rest.

So I can spend time going after them and get 20 more,

or you could let me have 10 and we call it a day.

Well, why don't I just give it all to you?

My cases, office, my wallet, my keys--

It's not personal. It's just business.

- Yeah, my business. - Good business.

The answer is no.

Well, there's no harm in asking.

It's good to see you, though.

You look great.

A bit overworked, but...

Not bad for a guy your age.

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

You've got to be kidding me. She took Bakersfield?

And she's looking for ten more.

A woman that goes after what she wants.

- You sound impressed. - You don't.

I already work with a woman like that every day.

Maybe I should have hired her when I had the chance.
