I can't afford Zane's buy-in.

00:00:03,653 --> 00:00:05,886
I pay you out
of my own pocket
3
00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:08,926
and the partner's find out,
it will cost me millions.
4
00:00:08,927 --> 00:00:10,693
Jessica, I need this.
5
00:00:10,729 --> 00:00:12,295
I'm actually
loaning you this money,
6
00:00:12,490 --> 00:00:13,856
and you're gonna loan it
to him,
7
00:00:13,892 --> 00:00:16,292
and if nobody
ever repays anybody,
8
00:00:16,327 --> 00:00:18,728
nobody's gonna give a shit.
- Thank you.

00:00:18,763 --> 00:00:20,603
Harvey, it's time to take my
name off the wall.
10
00:00:20,645 --> 00:00:22,312
And what if I say
I accept it?
11
00:00:22,347 --> 00:00:23,791
Then you've got two things
to figure out.
12
00:00:23,815 --> 00:00:25,682
How much are you gonna spend
to buy me out,
13
00:00:25,717 --> 00:00:27,261
and how're you gonna
spin this thing?
14
00:00:27,262 --> 00:00:28,428
The second
we cut her a check,
15
00:00:28,463 --> 00:00:29,954
we don't have a leg
to stand on in court.
16
00:00:29,955 --> 00:00:31,171
It's a one-way ticket
to bankruptcy.
17
00:00:31,172 --> 00:00:32,857
Well, I'm not letting
that son of a bitch
18
00:00:32,858 --> 00:00:34,736
back into the
house Jessica took from him.
19
00:00:34,737 --> 00:00:36,854
Wait a second.
Stanley Gordon doesn't need money.
20
00:00:36,855 --> 00:00:39,033
He just wants the world to know
that Jessica's name's dog shit.
21
00:00:39,057 --> 00:00:40,390
If we put out
a public statement
22
00:00:40,425 --> 00:00:41,736
that throws Jessica
under the bus--
23
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,159
- No way.
- We do this,
24
00:00:43,195 --> 00:00:45,395
Jessica gets paid,
we are free and clear.
25
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:47,688
I was just wondering
if there's a reason why
26
00:00:47,689 --> 00:00:48,833
I just got a new lease
on my desk
27
00:00:48,857 --> 00:00:50,590
that's 10% less
than our last one.
28
00:00:50,626 --> 00:00:52,594
I just wanted to thank you
for keeping me.
29
00:00:52,595 --> 00:00:53,794
Before you go.
30
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:55,462
Do you want me
to pour us a drink?
31
00:00:55,498 --> 00:00:57,331
What do you say
we shake things up
32
00:00:57,366 --> 00:00:58,799

37
00:01:19,898 --> 00:01:21,531

38
00:01:21,567 --> 00:01:26,036
- No, I'm, I'm good.
- What's going on?
39
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:29,013
Well, I don't know
how to say this,
40
00:01:29,048 --> 00:01:30,948
so I'm just going to say it.
41
00:01:30,984 --> 00:01:33,985
I got into a case.
It started getting to me,
42
00:01:34,020 --> 00:01:38,255
and the next thing I knew,
it turned into a class action.
43
00:01:38,733 --> 00:01:39,810
Nathan, you don't
have the resources
44
00:01:39,834 --> 00:01:41,382
to take on a class action.
45
00:01:41,383 --> 00:01:43,316
That didn't stop you
from taking on
46
00:01:43,352 --> 00:01:44,629
those miners last year.
- No, it didn't.
47
00:01:44,653 --> 00:01:48,121
But I ended up needing to go
to Pearson Specter for help.
48
00:01:48,157 --> 00:01:50,257
Why do you think
I'm here now?
49
00:01:50,292 --> 00:01:52,626
You want me to ask my firm
to help you?
50
00:01:52,661 --> 00:01:55,595
I want your firm to make an
investment in the clinic.
51
00:01:55,631 --> 00:01:57,230
Nathan, that's never
going to happen.
52
00:01:57,266 --> 00:01:58,732
Well, I need
some kind of help.
53
00:01:58,767 --> 00:02:00,233
Because there are
a bunch of children
54
00:02:00,269 --> 00:02:01,713
who are never going
to live normal lives,
55
00:02:01,737 --> 00:02:03,170
and if I don't
think of something,
56
00:02:03,205 --> 00:02:04,482
I'm going to have to choose
between them,
57
00:02:04,506 --> 00:02:05,872
and keeping the clinic
in business.
58

they're never going
to have normal lives?
60
00:02:08,610 --> 00:02:10,177
There's a school
in upstate New York.
61
00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:12,531
About ten years ago,
Discharge Power started making

a thousand yards away.
63
00:02:14,482 --> 00:02:17,749
Those kids started getting
lead poisoning.
64
00:02:17,785 --> 00:02:22,120
And they say it's not
from the plant, but it is.
65
00:02:22,156 --> 00:02:24,623
All right, I have an idea.
66
00:02:24,658 --> 00:02:26,024
But it's not giving you money,
67
00:02:26,060 --> 00:02:28,427
and it's not giving you
our associates.

- Sure you can.

You've always been
the ringleader.

- And you are?
- Mike Ross, Specter Litt,

it might interest the court

of Mr. Collins' history

You created 16 situations
just like this,

and then, on the 17th,
it got thrown out,

missed a deadline.

That is a mischaracterization
of the facts, Your Honor.

Whereas only 10%
of Nathan Krueger's cases

trying to keep poor people

in their homes and protecting
their civil rights.

and dismiss this case because
he still missed the deadline.

to extend it, Mr. Collins.

- Yeah.

That's what I mean.
- Well then, we're fucked.
514
00:19:05,915 --> 00:19:08,248
Because that right there
is proof that
515
00:19:08,284 --> 00:19:10,751
they were damaged by our firm.
- Louis--
516
00:19:10,786 --> 00:19:12,519
She was a partner
just as much as they were,
517
00:19:12,555 --> 00:19:13,832
and there's nothing
that we can say
518
00:19:13,856 --> 00:19:18,191

519

- No, she wasn't.
- What are you talking about?
520
00:19:21,901 --> 00:19:25,970
Louis, Scottie wasn't a
partner as much as they were.
521
00:19:26,005 --> 00:19:27,371
She's not part of the class,
522
00:19:27,406 --> 00:19:29,640
and she left
way before any of them.
523
00:19:29,675 --> 00:19:32,276
And even if we stipulate
that she was hurt by us,
524
00:19:32,311 --> 00:19:34,211
that doesn't prove they were.
- I get it.
525
00:19:34,956 --> 00:19:38,057
We need to show if these guys
aren't succeeding,
526
00:19:38,092 --> 00:19:39,725
it's not our fault.
It's theirs.
527
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,160
Exactly.
528

suing you.

and then again
on that prison case.

Those are confidential.

them subpoenaed if I have to.

That's not the point, Louis.

912
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,360

to waive their non-competes.

00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,133
But I need a favor.
1017
00:39:45,169 --> 00:39:47,602
- What kind of favor?
- You remember that thing
1018
00:39:47,638 --> 00:39:49,971
I said wouldn't
follow me to Chicago?
1019
00:39:50,732 --> 00:39:53,366
Well, it did.
- Aw, shit.
1020
00:39:53,401 --> 00:39:54,767
They're coming after
your license?
1021
00:39:54,802 --> 00:39:56,536
They already took it.
1022
00:39:56,571 --> 00:39:58,905
I'm here because I need you
to fly out there tomorrow
1023
00:39:58,940 --> 00:40:01,040
and file a TRO or 500 people
1024
00:40:01,075 --> 00:40:02,742
aren't going
to have a place to live.
1025
00:40:02,777 --> 00:40:05,545
You want me to file a TRO
for a housing project?
1026
00:40:05,580 --> 00:40:07,813
I am in the middle of a fight
for this firm's life.
1027
00:40:07,849 --> 00:40:09,426
I don't care what
you're in the middle of.
1028
00:40:09,450 --> 00:40:11,918
You owe me, because along
with about 100 other things,
1029
00:40:11,953 --> 00:40:14,253
you threw me under the bus.
- And as I recall,
1030
00:40:14,289 --> 00:40:15,922
you said you were okay with it.
1031
00:40:15,957 --> 00:40:18,891
And now, I need
a goddamn favor.
1032
00:40:19,709 --> 00:40:21,909
Okay, you want my help?
1033
00:40:21,944 --> 00:40:23,477
You tell me what the hell
is going on.
1034
00:40:23,512 --> 00:40:26,847
Okay, Harvey.
Here it is.
1035
00:40:26,882 --> 00:40:29,950
I went out there
to make a difference
1036
00:40:29,986 --> 00:40:32,319
and all I was doing
was scratching the surface,
1037
00:40:32,355 --> 00:40:34,154
one pro Bono at a time.
1038
00:40:34,190 --> 00:40:37,124
So I decided
to go toe-to-toe
1039
00:40:37,159 --> 00:40:41,161
with the mayor's office
on a police brutality case.
1040
00:40:41,197 --> 00:40:43,764
I got a $4 million settlement.
1041
00:40:43,799 --> 00:40:46,815
And two weeks after
you put out that statement,
1042
00:40:46,816 --> 00:40:48,916
they came after my license.
1043
00:40:48,952 --> 00:40:50,229
So you're saying
this is payback?
1044
00:40:50,253 --> 00:40:52,587
I'm saying they're trying
to run me out of town.
1045
00:40:52,622 --> 00:40:54,922
What exactly do you want me
to do about it?
1046
00:40:54,958 --> 00:40:57,458
I want you to stand
next to me on the last case
1047
00:40:57,494 --> 00:41:00,595
I'll ever have, because
I'm not going out like this.
1048
00:41:00,630 --> 00:41:02,830
Jessica, if all you need
is a lawyer,
1049
00:41:02,866 --> 00:41:04,799
you can have your pick
of the top guys out there.
1050
00:41:04,834 --> 00:41:07,602
Harvey,
you're not hearing me.
1051
00:41:08,142 --> 00:41:11,243
I am going to war with the
people that took my license.
1052
00:41:11,279 --> 00:41:14,380
I don't need the top guy.
1053
00:41:14,415 --> 00:41:17,316
I need the best partner
I've ever had.
1054
00:41:17,351 --> 00:41:19,718
And I need him to have my back.
1055

Jessica told us
what's going on, Harvey,
1062
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:41,753
Whatever it is
she needs you for,
1063
00:41:41,788 --> 00:41:43,232
we came here to tell you
that we'll take care
1064
00:41:43,256 --> 00:41:45,423
of things back here.
- You sure about that?
1065
00:41:45,458 --> 00:41:47,792
Because I'm not.
- The one thing I'm sure of
1066

is that none of us
would be here without Jessica.

You don't think,
how can I get out of this,

how can I pawn this off,
or anything else.

You drop it
inside of two seconds,
