Suits

It's a no.

- I thought you liked the idea. - That was before I realized

that it was nothing but sassy remarks.

- I thought you wanted our baby to have a relationship

with its biological father. - If you're gonna get

this worked up, it makes me think I don't really know you.

I might be able to give it the ability

to learn from your heart. - You really think

we could do that? - We can try.

- Rachel Zane deserves to be in the bar.

You're not only gonna stop blocking her,

you're gonna run interference for her if someone else does.

- And in return, you'll do what I want.

- No, but I'll do what you want for something else.

We need to come up with a lawsuit

against velocity data solutions. - No.

- What do you mean, "no"? - Fabricating a lawsuit

to manipulate a stock is illegal.

- It's not illegal if we find a legitimate suit.

Let's finish the job and get you back to being a lawyer.

- "Tenants are required to be notified

of all construction by certified letter."

Is this a certified letter or not?

This is the fraudulent attorney. - Open your mouth

in my courtroom again and you will be removed.

Mr. Grady, do you have an objection or not?

- I don't. - Then the court has no choice

but to dismiss this case with prejudice.

- The guy holding up your interview was trying

to get us to do something because he thought he could.

- Are you going to? - Yes.

He is. - Are you saying

what I think you're saying? - I'm in.

Okay, Rachel's gone.

I don't want any bullshit. You're telling me

that no matter what we do,

Rachel's getting into the bar?

- What I'm telling you is if she doesn't get in,

that asshole isn't gonna be the one that stopped her.

Okay. I'm in.

What do we have to do?

- I told you what we need to do. We need to make a dent

in velocity data's stock. - Harvey, that's no joke.

You realize how much we're gonna have to sue them for

to make their earnings take a hit?

You're damn right I do.

They're a huge company, which means

- I don't even know if that matters.

No matter what we sue them for,

- I know that. Which means we need to insist

on an admission of guilt.

I get it.

You want me to run this whole thing through the clinic.

- It's the only way to make it look legitimate.

- Harvey, I don't know if I can convince Nathan to do that.

- Well, you better, because if anyone figures out

that we're doing this for personal gain,

your chance of getting into the bar is gone.

- Wait, you were captain of the glee club?

- The official title is lieutenant colonel,

but that's cool you didn't know that.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, my god. You still had braces at 17.

- Actually, I had them again at 28.

Wow.

Between this, your nasal passages,

the skin tag epidemic and the foot surgeries,

you really had a lot of medical procedures.

- Tara, I know what you must be thinking

and I swear,

I will not pass any of my maladies onto our child.

Louis, I wasn't thinking that,

but you do understand that biologically

this isn't your child. - Of course I do.

Okay.

- But I was thinking we would have at least

one child of our own.

At least?

At least.

You were right, Louis.

Getting to know each other is fun.

- good, you're here. I need your help.

- Is this about the worker comp case from flushing?

- No, this is about velocity data solutions.

- What about them? - They're a dirty company.

They've been getting away with shit for years.

I could never go after them when I worked at Pearson specter

because we were always on the other side of these things,

but I can go after them now.

- Mike, if this is going to require me going to court...

it's not.

Look, Oliver, I know what happened the other day.

But you don't have to be a trial lawyer to be a great lawyer.

- What are you saying? - I'm saying that you have

skills that other lawyers don't have

and I'm gonna put those skills to use right now.

- What do you need? - You see those boxes?

That's every case that velocity has settled in the last 20 years

where the names of the plaintiffs have been sealed.

We need to figure out who those people are,

what they got paid not to say, and then we need

to get every damn one of them to come forward.

- Mike, what did these guys do to you?

I just don't like it when people think they can get away

with anything just because nobody is watching.

- That was fast. - What was fast?

- Well, I assume you're here to tell me

you filed suit against velocity.

- What I'm here to tell you, Craig,

is Mike Ross is gonna handle velocity.

- Then we have a problem, 'cause I didn't cut a deal

with Mike Ross. I cut a deal with you.

- And there's a reason you're an in-house counsel

and I'm not. - What are you talking about?

- Once we drop whatever bomb we're gonna drop,

they're gonna want to settle without an admission of guilt

and everyone knows settling is what I do.

- So Mike Ross is gonna take this to court?

He's not even a goddamn lawyer.

- Welcome to the conversation, Craig.

That's what I'm here to talk about.

You're gonna make Mike's hearing official.

- I can't do that, it's too soon.

You only said yes about Mike to get me to help you?

- Of course that's why I said yes.

And the hardest thing about getting him into the bar

is getting him a hearing when he hasn't even gone to law school.

- Which is why you're gonna sponsor him

based on his years of work at Pearson specter.

- You're talking about reading the law.

You're damn right I am.

There's precedent and you know it.

- Listen to me, I can influence the vote,

but I cannot sponsor someone I'm going to be voting on.

Because if you can't get him a hearing in the next week,

this thing is off.

And one more thing, Craig.

You and I won't be talking again

because in case you haven't figured it out yet,

this is a hell of a lot more serious

than cheating on your wife.

- What do you mean? It's an executive kitchen.

I'm an executive. - Yeah, but you're a bagel guy.

This place is like croissant central.

Then maybe I just came in here

hoping to spend some quality time with you.

- Are you saying you want to hear about my night with Tara?

Of course I do.

Right after we make friendship bracelets

and braid each other's hair.

- For your information, it was a magical evening,

but actually, I'm here to talk business.

- What business? - Couture apparel.

Jessica and I always gave their CEO an annual analysis

of their legal needs for the upcoming year...

- and now that she's gone, you want us to do it?

Exactly.

- It is more than that, Harvey. It is a show of force.

For one day, Carly Donahue needs to feel like

the most important client in the portfolio.

And having one partner go by himself

doesn't send that message. - Lewis, relax.

I'm happy to do it. - You are?

- Of course I am. I told you, we're partners.

- You know, Harvey, I always dreamed it could be like this.

Partners, confidantes, friends

- I had the exact same dream, Lewis.

- Really? - No, not really.

- Does that mean you're never gonna go mudding with me?

- Yes, Lewis, that's what it means.

- I'll give Donna the details on that meeting.

Hey, I hope you got a hammer,

'cause I just brought you some nails.

- You found something? - Yeah, I did.

- I already found six cases we can use,

So let's grab our coats and go kick velocity's ass

up and down the street. - Easy, Tyson.

You have to tell me what kind of suits these are.

- They're mining suits, which means health problems

or corporate negligence... - either way, the damages

could be through the roof.

Oliver, this is great.

- I know. And if you asked me to make an argument

about it in court, I'd probably shit the bed.

But, Mike, I'm telling you, there's something here.

- And I'm telling you, maybe one day you'll overcome

your court stuff, maybe you won't.

Either way, this proves that you're a hell of a lawyer.

- Yeah, thanks, Mike. I gotta admit,

it feels pretty good to know I can do what I just did.

'Cause after I get these people on board,

that's exactly what we're gonna have to do.

- Donna, you're never gonna believe

what Louis just asked me.

He wants to be you. He wants to look like you.

He wants to wear your skin as a body suit.

- Okay, did you just talk without saying anything?

The Donna: Good one, Donna. You're on fire today.

- Okay, what the hell's going on here?

- Oh, you mean the Donna? It's just a little product
