Suits

He's not just suing us.

He's trying to get a guilty verdict

so he can use it and come after my license.

What?

Donna was the one who told you about Simon,

but I want you to say it was me.

If you can't tell me who you were to him,

maybe you can tell me who he is to you.

I just know that he's somebody

that I can't seem to figure out how to cut out of me.

You knew because Harvey Specter told you.

I knew because Robert Zane told me.

Mr. Kessler, who was it?

All I know is that Alex Williams informed me of Pierpont's plan.

How could you take the fall for something you didn't do?

How could you do that to me?

Because I did something else, and I can't live with it anymore.

What are you talking about?

That man that attacked you,

he was killed in his own cell, and it's my fault.

What am I supposed to do when I have a big victory or a terrible loss

and the only person I want to run and tell isn't there?

Samantha, I'm so sorry, but I have to go.

Say it again.

I looked around, and you weren't there.

I'm here now.

What?

I just wish I'd come to my senses sooner.

It's okay.

I was worth the wait.

Donna...

I know.

We have to get some sleep.

Everything's changed.

I know.

Wheeler, phone call for you.

Says it's urgent.

This is Samantha Wheeler.

Samantha, it's Katrina.

I got in early this morning, because I figured we'd have

a lot to take care of with the whole Robert situation,

which is why I was here when the call came in and...

Katrina, I'm in the middle of a workout. Can you just cut to it?

You need to get in here, and you need to get in here now.

Rachel, call me as soon as you get this.

It happened.

And by "it," I mean... Oh, shit, I gotta go.

Who was that?

No one.

- Rachel. - Told her, didn't you?

No. Yeah.

Well, in that case, I hope she listens to her messages before Mike,

'cause I just left him a doozy.

What? I didn't authorize you to do that.

Wait, seriously, what did you tell him?

- What'd you tell Rachel? - That you were better the first time.

Good, 'cause that's exactly what I told Mike about you.

No, you didn't. And neither did I, because you weren't.

Because more vigorous isn't necessarily better.

- Neither is younger. - Really?

Twelve hours in and you're gonna trot that one out?

Twelve years in, and, no, Donna, I'm not...

Because I am glad I came over last night.

Me, too.

You do know I'm coming over again tonight, right?

Yeah, Harvey, I do know that.

There is one thing that I don't know.

What exactly changed to make you come over here?

- Are you expecting someone? - No.

But I do know who it is, and it's bad.

- How bad? - Louis bad.

- He just texted me. He's right outside. - Holy shit.

- He cannot see me in here. - What are we gonna do?

Well, I can't climb out the window, if that's what you're suggesting.

- We're 12 stories up. - You could stick the landing.

- Donna, I know you're in there. - Shit.

Wait a minute. What are we so afraid of?

Harvey, are you saying what I think you're saying?

I am. Let's let him in.

All right, we need to talk, and we need to talk right now.

I went to Harvey's. He didn't answer his door,

so now I'm here.

And you're here.

I am.

And you're in the same exact clothes you were in last night.

Guilty as charged.

Oh, my God.

I know exactly what you two were doing.

Louis, before you jump...

You were up all night trying to figure out

how you were gonna handle the Zane situation.

- We were indeed. - Up all night.

Thinking about the situation.

Well, I can't believe it. You should have called me.

We could have done it together.

Could have, but it's probably best that we didn't.

I don't know. They do say the more the merrier.

Harvey.

You know what, I don't care that you left me out.

The most important thing is that you guys were banging it out all night.

- That we were. - That we were.

So what'd you come up with?

Probably nothing as helpful as what you've come up with.

Well, the only thing I know is that we need to put out

a press release as soon as possible.

Then you came to the right place,

because Donna is top notch at releases.

Why, thank you, Harvey. You know, you're not so bad yourself.

Will you please stop stroking each other's egos?

I'm just as good at releasing as either one of you.

In fact, I hammered one out this morning.

Don't.

Louis, this is great.

It takes responsibility while still standing behind our partner.

So we are agreed. We stand behind Robert.

- We do. - Well, then I'll put this out right away.

And, Harvey, when you get in, get together with Samantha

and make sure the two of you lock up every last one of Robert's clients.

I'm on it, Louis.

I don't get it.

How could he be such a good lawyer

and not see what's right in front of his face?

Well, to be fair, you didn't see

what was right in front of your face for 12 years.

Fair enough.

But it does beg the question...

Let's not tell Louis or anybody else.

Why not?

Because Louis might be clueless, but he's right.

There's gonna be a lot of blowback from the hearing,

and I'd rather share our news when the people we care about

are in the right frame of mind to hear it.

About that news.

Before Louis got here, you asked what had changed.

Harvey, I want to know everything, and when I do, I want to be able to

hang on every last word, but now's not the time.

So what do you say that you go home

and you change into that armor and you get ready to fight

for Robert's good name?

See the money, wanna stay for your meal.

Get another piece of pie for your wife.

Everybody wanna know how it feel.

Everybody wanna see what it's like

I'll even eat a bean pie I don't mind.

Me and missy is so early.

Busy, busy making money.

All right!

All step back I'm 'bout to dance.

The greenback boogie.

Alex Williams.

Depends who's asking.

My name is Stephen Faulkner. I'm with the New York Bar.

I wanted to talk about what you did at that hearing yesterday.

I did what anybody would have done.

All the same, you showed a lot of courage exposing your partner.

Robert Zane's a legend. That couldn't have been easy.

It wasn't.

Well, the Bar noticed, which is why I'm here

to discuss the next step,

removing Zane's name from your letterhead.

What? Why do we do that?

Because the man broke privilege, and put your firm in a position

to start hemorrhaging clients.

And since when are our clients the business of the state bar?

Your clients aren't, but your firm's character is.

Look,

I know what Robert did was unethical,

but it was one mistake. We're talking about a man's legacy.

And leaving his name up doesn't just hurt the legacy of your firm.

It's hurting the integrity of the Bar.

And what if I don't see it that way?

More importantly, what if my partners don't?

Because it's not my call.

Let's just say it would be to everyone's benefit

if you and your partners take that name down

of your own accord.

This is Thomas Kessler. I'm not available right now.

Please leave a message.

Thomas, hey. It's me.

Um...

I was just wondering if you were free for lunch today.

Give me a call when you can.

Samantha, whatever it is, it'll have to wait.

We have to start locking up Robert's clients before...

That's why I'm here.

Three of them have already put their accounts up for review.

Son of a bitch. The Bar just ruled on Robert yesterday.

It gets worse.

I reached out to six more and none of them would take my call.

Which means six more are about to go.

And the only way that could happen this fast

is if somebody's already poisoned the well.

- You think Hardman's still after us? - I did,

until I saw these notices were dated two days ago.

And two days ago, Hardman was gunning to have me disbarred, not Robert.

Exactly.

Then who the hell knew to go after his clients?

The same man that tried to blackmail Robert

into taking his name off our wall.

Blackmail? What are you talking about?
