Suits

Which one of my clients are you after?

Because we both know you can't have Pfizer.

- Yes, I can. - Then make me name partner.

You don't just slap somebody's name on the wall to get a client.

I'm not just slapping his name up, Louis. I'm making a move.

I'm not saying Donna doesn't deserve a promotion,

I'm just saying making partner means something.

And I'm concerned that being one here won't mean what it used to.

This is an amazing amount of work.

I stayed up all night doing it.

But I thought you take the night shift with your son.

I told my wife she'd have to take it last night.

I thought you might need a little relief.

You sure? Support his head.

There we go.

Holy shit. Gordon really doesn't wanna take over.

He just wants to orchestrate a deal where his guys come back,

they vote to merge with Zane, and we cease to exist.

I just found out that my two partners are willing to stab me in the back.

God damn it, Louis. I'm trying the best I can.

Well, then, try something else,

because giving you the reins a half hour before we drive off a cliff

isn't gonna do shit.

I just came to make sure that the paperwork was in order

for your clients to come over and join our new firm.

I went and saw Andy Forsyth today.

You went to see him about us moving to Seattle?

If we're ever gonna do something like this in our lives, now is the time.

- And what about the wedding? - We could move it up.

If I've learned one thing, it's that there is nothing that I can't handle

when I have you by my side.

You're the husband I've always wanted.

And I can't wait to begin our adventure together.

Rachel and I were offered a chance to run a firm in Seattle.

- Mike... - Harvey,

this is who I am. It's who I've always been.

It's time, Harvey.

I'll tell you what, Robert.

Your baby girl just got married, I'm gonna throw you a bone.

Your name goes first.

No. No.

You think I don't know what you're doing.

Then I owe you. Yours goes first.

You saying I owe you?

You do owe me. I saved your ass.

Well, you only did that because we put you in a terrible position.

Wait. That's against me.

Jesus Christ, what have I got myself into?

I'll tell you what.

You got yourself into Zane Specter Litt.

Or Specter Zane Litt.

Either way...

- Litt comes last. - Litt comes last.

Hey.

Wanna go out and get a burger?

I do. But it's 2:00 a.m.

If I go out for a burger right now, the only thing I'm getting is a divorce.

Copy that. I'll get you one from the kitchen.

Yeah, meet me downstairs.

Hide it in the gift bag or some shit.

- You're here early. - I am.

I know this is about the time you finish your morning run.

Look, Harvey. If this is about me getting into it with Louis

while you were gone...

It isn't. I didn't even know that happened.

Well, you might as well hear about it now.

I came to him with an idea to save the firm

that involved making me temporary managing partner, and he bit my head off.

Let me guess, he thought you were coming after me.

Harvey, I would never do that to you.

I know that, but that's not what I'm here to talk about.

I'm here to tell you that as of this morning we're merging with Robert Zane.

- What? - Alex...

I don't believe it.

When I came over you said my name would be the one to go up next.

I know that, but this was the only way to save the firm.

And you know as well as I do,

Zane has been a name partner longer than me and Louis combined.

All right, I get it.

But we had an agreement.

And I want your word right now you're gonna honor it.

You have my word. Your name goes up next.

All right.

One more thing.

Did Louis know about the merger before this morning?

Yeah, why?

Because if he didn't tell me about it, he must really not trust me.

Which means when it is time to put my name up there...

- Louis'll be fine, Alex. - And what if he's not?

Like I said, you have my word.

Of course, I would do that for you.

I would do anything for you because I love you.

I promise. I will never bring it up again. We never have to get a Maine coon.

- Sheila? - Yes.

Anyway, I brought you in because I want...

Katrina, what's on your mind?

Nothing. It's just, giving up cats?

Louis, after all she put you through, are you sure?

I am. And besides, she's still open to getting a short hair.

- Well, then I'm happy for you. - And I'm happy for you, too,

because today is the day that you get to make

your two greatest loves more efficient.

Don't tell me. We're merging with Zane,

we have more associates than we can handle and you need the one person

who worked at both firms to cull that herd.

Exactly. And now I need you to come up

with a list of the ten least-efficient associates

without telling me names or whether or not they come from Zane or us.

- Got it. - And, Katrina?

Thanks for your concern about Sheila and me.

Louis, you know I care for you deeply in a completely asexual manner.

And I too care for you deeply and see you neither as man nor woman.

Thank you, Louis.

Kinder words were never spoken.

I'll have my list for you by the end of the day.

I'm gonna miss her, too.

I'm not sure which is worse.

Finding out Mike was a fraud or that he's taking my daughter away.

Pretty sure it was the fraud thing.

You probably got a point.

Speaking of frauds and your daughter.

She left that for me?

A little welcome to the firm from your little girl.

By the way, Harvey wants to meet at 9:30 in the conference room.

So in the meantime, why don't you set yourself up in Mike's old office.

- Thank you, Donna. - It's nice to have you here, Robert.

Oh, we'll see how nice it is once I tell Harvey

it's not his old office that I'm looking to be in.

Claiming managing partner already.

Isn't that a bold statement for day one?

Let me tell you something, Red.

I've been making bold statements my entire career.

I'm sure as hell not about to stop now.

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.

All right, I think we all know who's gonna be managing partner

isn't something we're gonna decide overnight.

Therefore, for the sake of firm harmony,

I suggest we start with conflicts of interest.

- Fine with me. - Me too.

Great. As you can see,

I've taken the liberty of suggesting who drops which client.

And I am confident you will agree with all of my proposals

- with the exception... - I'm not dropping Dexterol.

And I'm not dropping Clavatin.

- Exactly. - Exactly what?

What do you mean, "Exactly what?"

I knew that neither of you would be willing

to give up those particular clients. Exactly that.

- You mean you don't have a suggestion? - I have a suggestion.

You drop yours, then the next time we have a major conflict I'll drop mine.

You sure about that? Because the next major conflict

we're gonna have is who's managing partner.

Then what exactly is your idea?

I say whoever's client billed the most hours last year stays.

Well, that's pretty damn convenient

because your client went through a merger so their billables are inflated.

You're saying that the sun got in your eyes

and that's why you dropped the big pass?

Wait a second, Harvey's right.

- Come again? - No, not about who to drop.

Your client did just go through a merger.

They're in a whole new line of business.

Most of which doesn't conflict with Clavatin anymore.

Where you going with this?

I'm saying if we can get either client

to drop the one division where they still overlap

you can keep them both.

Well, in that case I'll get my client to drop.

It's the least I can do.

Oh, no. I'll do the honors.

After all, you welcomed me into your home.

Why don't we make it a friendly wager.

We each get our client to drop.

First one who gets there wins.

Sure thing.

Don't do it.

Don't do what?

Don't try to get Zane's client to dump their division

after telling him you'd get your client to do it.

How do you even know that's what happened?

- I know because Louis told me. - What do you mean Louis told you?

The meeting just ended two seconds ago and I came right back here.

In that case, I mean, I heard Louis' voice on the recording device

that I had installed in the conference room.

You bugged the meeting?

Bugged is such a distasteful word.

- That's not an answer. - Okay.

You want an answer?

I have been listening to your conversations

since you were an associate, and I'm not about to stop now.

Now, do you want to quibble about my methods
