00:20I don't want any of you to go in.
00:30Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:33Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:55Come on, come on, come on.
00:58Gerald Tate's here. He wants to know what's happening to his deal.
01:00Go get Harvey.
01:02Trust me, I can handle Gerald Tate.
01:10I'm sorry, you say the bets to me?
01:14Harvey, when are you going to leave Pearson, work for a man?
01:16I'll leave Jessica any time you want.
01:18You just have to formally ask.
01:20And then after that, why don't you formally ask Santa Claus to bring you a pony?
01:24Because I'm not leaving Jessica.
01:25I check.
01:27Raise.
01:27$5,000.
01:31I'm all in.
01:42You can pay me later.
01:43I gotta go.
01:45Gentlemen.
01:49I'm paying you millions.
01:50And you're telling me I'm going to get screwed?
01:53Jessica, have I come in a bad time?
01:56Gerald, this is Harvey Spector.
01:59He's our best closer.
02:01Well, if you're the best closer, where the hell have you been for the last three hours?
02:04Well, Gerald, I specialize in troubled situations.
02:06And when I left here at 7 p.m., this deal wasn't in jeopardy.
02:09So I'm just trying to figure out what happened in the interim.
02:11We keep offering more money, they keep rejecting it.
02:14It's last-minute bad faith bullshit.
02:15It says here that Cooper won't be staying on as honorary vice president.
02:20That's right. I don't want him around.
02:21He wouldn't be around. It's an honorary position.
02:24I don't give a shit.
02:26Well, I think you do, because that's what's changed since I left,
02:29which means it's you who's been dealing in bad faith.
02:31Well, now that you've got a grasp on what's happened in the goddamn interim,
02:35what are you going to do about it?
02:37Because he's not getting that title.
02:39Well, let me make sure I understand this, okay?
02:42We negotiated a deal that gave you everything you wanted.
02:44Mr. Cooper signed it.
02:46And now you won't close until we take away the last shred of his dignity?
02:49Bingo.
02:50Well, that's not going to happen.
02:51And why the hell not?
02:52Because I like Mr. Cooper, and my firm doesn't operate in bad faith.
02:56Oh, I see how it is.
02:59Instead of working Cooper, you're working me.
03:03Well, why don't you take your pansy attitude back in there
03:06and make him sign my deal?
03:07Or I'll pay someone else your money to do it for me.
03:11Well, first of all, Gerald,
03:12if you think anyone's going to touch this deal after your bad faith,
03:15you're mistaken.
03:18Second, the way our agreement works is the minute Cooper signed the deal
03:22which gave you everything you wanted,
03:23our fee was due and payable, which is why it's 730.
03:26I received confirmation of a wire transfer from escrow
03:30indicating payment in full.
03:39So I'd say the ball's in your court,
03:40but the truth is your balls are in my fist.
03:43Now, I apologize if that image is too pansy for you,
03:46but I'm comfortable enough with my manhood to put it out there.
03:50Now get your ass in there and close the goddamn deal.
03:55You're going to let him talk to me like this?
03:57Harvey speaks for the firm.
04:12We got paid before Gerald signed the deal.
04:15What are you talking about?
04:16This is a memo about some fire drill on Tuesday.
04:18Huh.
04:19You're the blue team captain.
04:20You get to wear a fire hat.
04:36You get to wear a fire.
04:37You're my feet.
04:39You're the lawyers.
04:40You're the rules.
04:42You're right.
04:42You're right.
04:42Sorry.
04:42But there's violence factory.
04:46You're right.
04:47You're right.
04:48Let's go.
04:49Watch out you.
04:50Come class.
04:55Time's up. Pencils down.
04:59Excuse me. Do I know you from somewhere?
05:02I don't think so. It's a pretty good memory for faces.
05:05Uh-huh. So do I.
05:10Oops. Sorry.
05:12I got it.
05:25Hey! Hey! Stop! You and the cat!
05:51What? Hey! Get back!
05:52This is not...
05:56Come in.
06:02What did you get me?
06:03I said I was going to get you. A 158.
06:05I told you I wanted a 175.
06:07I told you only one out of 100 people can score that.
06:10You're a B-minus student. You got 1,000 on your SATs.
06:13If I get you a 175, they'll know you cheated.
06:15So only a genius loser can get a 175?
06:19Actually, no. I would get a 180.
06:21I can have my money, please.
06:29Whoa. This is only half.
06:32Then why don't you go call the police?
06:34Yeah.
06:56I got to get my shit together.
06:59It's the best cheeseburger I've had in my life.
07:01It's from Monday, Trevor.
07:04Look, man, I'm serious.
07:06I almost got caught today.
07:07I've got to stop getting stoned.
07:09I've got to get my act together.
07:10Dude, look at me.
07:12You can burn Bud and still be a success.
07:14You sell pot for a living.
07:16It still saps the motivation.
07:18All I'm saying is, you want in, you are in.
07:22You know, that is word for word your offer
07:25before I got caught cheating on your math test in the third grade.
07:29Goddamn memory.
07:30Stop.
07:31Look, no one's going to suspect you're a dealer.
07:33I mean, look at me.
07:34This is a $2,000 suit, Mike.
07:36Got like 12 of them.
07:38I take on real software projects.
07:39I have clients who bring me briefcases filled with cash,
07:44and I hand them identical briefcases with vacuum-sealed Bud.
07:47I'm telling you, man.
07:49I had in plain sight.
07:50Okay, so what do you need me for?
07:52Well, I have a client coming in from out of town,
07:55and I can't meet him,
07:56and I need someone I can trust to make the drop.
08:00It's totally safe.
08:02Come on.
08:04Help a brother out.
08:06Trevor, a person is more likely to die while dealing drugs
08:08than they would be on death row in Texas.
08:11Wait, what are you talking about?
08:13It's from Freakonomics.
08:14Do you read anything that I give you?
08:16It doesn't matter, because you have to find somebody else.
08:19I'm not interested.
08:20Not interested in what?
08:22What are you doing here?
08:23You said you were going to stay at your place tonight.
08:25Hi, sweetie.
08:26What a pleasant surprise.
08:27I'm so glad you stopped by.
08:29No, we're in the middle of something.
08:30What are you in the middle of?
08:34Trevor's trying to set me up.
08:35That's terrific.
08:37Uh, who's the lucky girl?
08:39I'm trying to get him to work for me.
08:41That's a great idea.
08:42We'll take some stress off Trevor,
08:44and you'll pick up writing code like you do everything else.
08:47All right, I gotta go.
08:48I gotta get up early to see my grandmother
08:50and pay them another month.
08:52Oh.
08:52Oh.
08:53Oh.
08:55Bye.
08:55Bye.
08:59How did you know Gerald wouldn't look at that memo?
09:01Because the charging bull always looks at the red cape,
09:04not at the man with the sword.
09:06By the way, I've set up a meeting for you and John Dockery next week.
09:10Dockery?
09:10He's Scatton's biggest clan.
09:11Not anymore.
09:12He's looking around.
09:14He wants us to assess where he's vulnerable to a takeover.
09:17Plays tennis.
09:18I want you to close him.
09:19Consider it done.
09:21Then you are officially dismissed for the evening.
09:25Cheers.
09:26Well, you two seem to be celebrating something.
09:28Mm-hmm.
09:29We are.
09:29In fact, you are looking at the best closer this city has ever seen.
09:33Closer, huh?
09:34Baseball?
09:35Attorney.
09:36I close situations.
09:37Hmm.
09:37So you only care about money.
09:39Truth is, I do it for the children.
09:41Hmm.
09:43I'm Lisa.
09:45Harvey.
09:46Lisa, I don't normally do this, but since we are celebrating,
09:50what time do you get off tonight?
09:52Glad you asked.
09:54I get off at ten past.
09:56I'm never going out with you.
10:01I guess so.
10:03You're not the best closer this city's ever seen.
10:46Good morning.
10:49Lisa, this was lovely, but I'm afraid it's time to go.
10:53Aw, can't we hang out? I can make you breakfast.
10:56I hate to miss a workout, and I really need to be in the office by 7.30.
11:01Hmm, that's too bad.
11:03Because I was kind of thinking maybe you could eat it off my stomach.
11:10I guess if I skip the gym, I can still get in by 9.
11:26I hear someone's not taking their pills.
11:30Because they're trying to poison me.
11:32Grammy, that's crazy.
11:34Dr. Schrager gave me her word she wouldn't poison you until January.
11:38If she does it before then, she can't count it towards next year's quota.
11:44Oh, what did I teach you?
11:51Michael, I'm not going to be around forever,
11:53and I want you to stop with that stuff.
12:00What stuff?
12:01I may be old, but I'm not an idiot.
12:05I know life has been hard for you, but you're not a kid anymore.
12:09And I want you to promise you're going to start living up to your potential.
12:19I promise.
12:24I'm not saying that I haven't been charmed by Harvey,
12:26but it's just so patronizing when you say that he can handle those things,
12:29and, Lewis, you can only handle this.
12:31Jessica, I could have handled Gerald Tate.
12:33And I told you I disagree.
12:34Why?
12:35Because...
12:35You put two bullies in the same room together.
12:37Things generally don't go so well.
12:39It's 9.30.
12:40Nice of you to show up two hours after we open for business.
12:42And I see that you're also trying to look like a pimp.
12:45My bad, Lewis.
12:46I was out late last night,
12:47and when I woke up, this is the suit your wife picked out for me.
12:49And that would be funny if I'd actually been married.
12:52Moving along.
12:53You're not married?
12:54Recruiting.
12:55Harvey, your interviews are set up for tomorrow.
12:57What?
12:58Why don't we just hire the Harvard Summer Associate douche?
13:01I think if you listen to the phrasing of that question,
13:03you'll come up with an answer.
13:04We need people who think on their feet,
13:06not another clone with a rod of pizzazz.
13:08Harvey, the fact that we only hire from Harvard
13:10gives us a cachet that's a little more valuable
13:12than hiring a kid from Rutgers.
13:16You went to Harvard Law.
13:18I'm an exception.
13:19Find me another one.
13:21Can we please skip the recruiting?
13:23I work better alone anyway.
13:25Well, I would, Harvey,
13:26except all senior partners get an associate.
13:28It's just a rule.
13:31I'm sorry, what?
13:33Jessica, I deserve that promotion.
13:35My billables destroy his.
13:37And I'm here night and day doing whatever's needed
13:39instead of swanning in and out of here whenever I please.
13:42I must admit, he does make me sound very swan-like.
13:45Harvey, shut up.
13:49Lewis, this is how it is.
13:52Right now, you two make nice.
13:54Lewis, I apologize.
13:56I was out of line.
13:57Now, if you'll just let me text your pretend wife
14:00that I just made senior partner,
14:02I... what?
14:04Too far?
14:05Come on, she doesn't even exist.
14:07How is that nice?
14:08It's not mean.
14:09Lewis, come on.
14:10Lewis, just messing around with you.
14:13Your grandmother's getting worse.
14:15I need to move her to full care
14:17or I'll have to transfer her to the state facility.
14:19I won't put her in the state facility.
14:21Then I'm afraid you'll have to come up with $25,000.
14:26Then I will.
14:41Trevor, I'm in.
14:42One-time deal.
14:43I want $25,000.
14:44Take it or leave it.
14:45I'll take it.
14:46There's a briefcase in my room.
14:48Pick it up tomorrow and take it to room 2412.
14:50The Children Hotel on Park Avenue.
14:52Now, you can't go to a luxury hotel
14:53looking like a delivery guy,
14:55so shave, comb your hair.
14:56Buy a suit.
14:57That's a hell of a lot to ask, man.
14:59Well, I'm not asking you.
15:00I'm paying you $25,000.
15:02Okay.
15:05Donna, clear my schedule tomorrow.
15:07You and I are hiring a new associate.
15:09Done.
15:10Tell me, does this suit make me look like a pep?
15:15Yeah, a little bit.
15:20Yeah, he's in.
15:21I'll take it.
15:22Good.
15:24You can go take a piss.
15:32Key.
15:3324 hours, we'll know if this new buyer's account.
15:36Why didn't you tell Trevor you might be sending this guy into a setup?
15:39Same reason why I don't tell Gina I'm banging her sister.
15:41It only caused trouble.
15:44What's up?
15:46I'm just going to take off.
15:49I don't think you should.
15:50Why don't you stay with us until tomorrow?
15:52Now, give me your cell phone.
15:54Give me your phone.
15:55Yeah, all right.
15:57And don't even think about warning your boy.
15:59Because if these guys are cops,
16:01whoever's holding that weed is going to jail for a long time.
16:14Hey.
16:15Hey.
16:15You scared the hell out of me.
16:17Sorry.
16:19Look at you.
16:21You look great.
16:23Thanks.
16:24Tell me you decided to work with Trevor.
16:26Yeah.
16:27Trial basis.
16:28Yeah.
16:29Good.
16:30What are you doing here?
16:32My mom's coming by my place later.
16:34And I don't want to mess it up.
16:36So, hang in here.
16:38That's not so bad?
16:39That's not the ridiculous part.
16:41After I finish scouring the place for her visit,
16:43I sprinkle a teeny bit of crumbs around.
16:49I gotta go.
16:50Hey.
16:51Come here.
16:57You want to look perfect on your first day.
17:00Yeah.
17:06I've gotta go.
17:10Mm-hmm.
17:26Great, thanks.
17:27Okay.
17:29Don, we're gonna need to streamline this.
17:32Give each guy a hard time.
17:33Before you send them back,
17:35give me a wink if they say something clever.
17:37Cool.
17:37Okay.
17:38What are you looking for?
17:41Another me.
17:42Got it.
17:43Arrogant, self-absorbed, blowhard.
17:46Thinks he's the smartest one in the room.
17:47That's why I love you.
17:49You get me.
17:51The point is,
17:52I can see myself stepping down
17:54as managing partner in ten years.
17:57I will have accomplished everything that I wanted
17:59and still be young enough
18:00to start an entirely new chapter.
18:03Seems like it's only been ten minutes
18:05since I handed the reins to you.
18:06No, it hasn't.
18:08And time just moves a lot faster when you're 160.
18:11Yeah, but how good do I look?
18:16What's going on with you?
18:18Oh.
18:21Phillip, how did you know I was your successor?
18:24My gut.
18:25See, I was afraid you were gonna say that.
18:27My gut tells me it's Harvey.
18:29My heart says he's not ready.
18:31What's the problem?
18:32He's the problem.
18:34If the leader of a firm doesn't care
18:35about the people who work for him,
18:37there's not gonna be much of a firm left to lead.
18:39So what are you gonna do about it?
18:42What would you do about it?
18:46The man's missing compassion?
18:47Mm-hmm.
18:48Let's shove it down his throat.
18:51Smoke salmon.
19:02Oh, It's a good continuation.
19:14I guess he's been scared.
19:16Oh, yeah.
19:18Oh, yeah.
19:19Oh, yeah.

22:57can i help you
23:00No.
23:08Excuse me, Mr. Tate.
23:10Who are you?
23:11My name's Louis Slit. I work for Pearson Hartley.
23:13I have some information that I think will lead you to the conclusion
23:16that you're better served than Pearson with me as your lead counsel.
23:21I'm listening.
23:25How the hell did you know they were to the police?
23:27I read this novel in elementary school.
23:31Cops are staking out a hotel.
23:32One of them dresses as a bellhop.
23:34The other is a man in a suit.
23:35And it was the exact same thing.
23:37You read a novel in elementary school?
23:40What? I like to read.
23:42And why'd you ask them what time it was?
23:45Throw them off.
23:46What kind of drug dealer asks a cop what time it is
23:48when he's got a briefcase full of pot, right?
23:51We should hire you.
23:53Jesus, I'd give you the 25 grand as a signing bonus.
23:56I'll take it.
23:58Unfortunately, we only hire from Harvard.
24:00And you not only did not go to Harvard Law School,
24:04you haven't even gone to any law school.
24:07What if I told you that I consume knowledge like no one you've ever met
24:10and I've actually passed the bar?
24:12I'd say you're full of crap.
24:15That's a Barbary legal handbook right there, right?
24:18Open it up. Read me something.
24:20Anything.
24:26Civil liability associated with agency is based on several factors,
24:30including the deviation of the agent from his path,
24:33the reasonable inference of agency on behalf of the plaintiff,
24:36and the nature of the damages themselves.
24:39How did you know that?
24:41I learned it when I studied for the bar.
24:46Okay, hotshot.
24:49Fire up this laptop.
24:51I'm going to show you what a Harvard attorney can do.
24:56Pick a topic.
25:26Stock option backdating.
25:27For the hearts.
25:30Sorry, if you want to beat me, you're going to have to do it as something else.
25:33How can you know all that?
25:35I told you, I like to read.
25:37And once I read something, I understand it.
25:39And once I understand it,
25:41I never forget it.
25:43Why take the bar?
25:46This dickhead bet me I couldn't pass it without going to Washington.
25:53Okay, look, this is all pretty fascinating stuff,
25:56but I'm afraid I gotta get back to work.
25:59I'll make sure that Serpico isn't around waiting for you.
26:17You want this job so much, why don't you just go to law school?
26:22When I was in college, it was my dream to be a lawyer.
26:25I needed some money,
26:26and Trevor convinced me to memorize this math test and sell it.
26:34Turns out we sold it to the dean's daughter.
26:36I lost my scholarship, I got kicked out of school, I...
26:44I got knocked into a different life.
26:47And I have been wishing for a way back ever since.
26:54Let me tell you something.
26:56This isn't elementary school.
26:58This is hard work, long hours, high pressure.
27:01I need a grown goddamn man.
27:04You give me this,
27:05and I will work as hard as it takes to school those Harvard douches
27:09and become the best lawyer you have ever seen.
27:11I'm inclined to give you a shot,
27:13but what if I decide to go another way?
27:15I'd say that's fair.
27:17And sometimes I like to hang out with people who aren't that bright.
27:20You know, just to see how the other half lives.
27:22Move over.
27:24I'm emailing the firm I just found, our next associate.
27:32All right.
27:33You're going to start a week from Monday.
27:34Here's what you're going to do.
27:36First, no more pot.
27:37We drug test.
27:38Stop smoking now, you'll be fine.
27:40I assume that's all the drugs you do.
27:41How do you know that?
27:42You read books, I read people.
27:44Potheads smoke pot.
27:45That's what they do.
27:45That's not all I do.
27:46I have interest.
27:47You're Albert friggin' Einstein,
27:49and you couldn't manage to get into law school.
27:50You think that's not from smoking weed?
27:51Trevor got...
27:52That's another thing.
27:52You're never going to talk to Trevor again.
27:55You're going to dish that briefcase,
27:56and you're going to get on a plane to Harvard,
27:57and you're going to learn everything there is
27:59about going to law school there.
28:00Did you buy that suit?
28:01Yeah.
28:02Let's buy some new ones.
28:18Hi.
28:18Uh, how do I sign up for today's law school tour?
28:22You go back in time six weeks,
28:24because that's when it booked up.
28:27Um...
28:27This is Harvard law.
28:29We get over 7,000 applications a year.
28:32You think you can just walk in and take a tour?
28:38Uh, Eduardo Fernandez,
28:40who first of all looks like works at the public pool or something,
28:44and he comes up to me the other day,
28:46and I completely know he's a freshman.
28:47He looks at me and goes,
28:48where's the public health school?
28:50Which is right around the corner.
28:51You know what I tell him?
28:52Clifford Watkins?
28:53Excuse me.
28:54Can I help you?
28:56Jonathan Atwater.
28:57I work for Dean Wormer in the admissions office.
28:59Yes, of course.
29:00And what can I do for you?
29:01Well, the dean personally sent me down here
29:03to invite you to a small cocktail hour
29:05for some of our, uh,
29:07more realistic candidates.
29:09And we'd like to keep this sort of thing discreet,
29:11so if you'd subtly hand me your name tag,
29:14then you can proceed directly to the dean's office.
29:18Congratulations.
29:23Harvard Law is the oldest law school in the country
29:26and boasts the most successful graduates in the world.
29:30Currently, we are six of nine Supreme Court justices
29:32and, of course, the president to be the United States.
29:43All these things that you say
29:45like I forget about the mind-loving games that you play.
29:50I am urgent, I'll pay for every life, every time,
29:55every bit, every time.
29:57And then you feed me some light.
29:59I won't hear what my word am I changing, changing.
30:04Guess what?
30:05I am the same man, same man, same man I've always been.
30:12And days pass, turn into weeks
30:15when we don't even speak
30:18like I'm something you want.
30:20I am the same man, same man, same man.
31:09Mike Ross?
31:11Hi.
31:12I'm Rachel Zane. I'll be giving you your orientation.
31:14Wow, you're pretty.
31:16Good. You hit on me.
31:17We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.
31:19No, I'm sorry. I wasn't hitting on you.
31:21Trust me. I've given dozens of these, and without fail,
31:24whatever new hot shot it is thinks that because I'm just a paralegal
31:27that I will somehow be blown away by his dazzling degree.
31:30Let me assure you, I won't.
31:33I was.
31:34Mm-hmm.
31:35I was hitting on you.
31:36You were.
31:37Take notes. I'm not going to repeat myself.
31:40I love you.
31:42Each bank of offices specializes in its own arena of the law
31:46and is anchored by a department head on either end.
31:48So on our left, mergers and acquisitions.
31:50On the opposite side, high net worth divorce.
31:53Nice. Mergers across from divorce. Symmetry.
31:58Ah, yeah, I should just listen.
32:00The firm operates on a chain of command model.
32:03Harvey's your commanding officer.
32:04However, Louis Slit, he oversees all associates,
32:07so you'll also answer to him.
32:08What do you think about Harvey?
32:10People are in awe of him.
32:12They say he's the best closer there is,
32:13but I have very little contact with him, so I don't know.
32:16What about Louis Slit?
32:19Let's continue with your tour.
32:23Hey, Becky. You are glowing.
32:26I wonder why that is. Oh, yeah.
32:27It's the day they announce my promotion.
32:30Jimmy, have you lost weight?
32:32Steve-o.
32:33Hey, Harvey.
32:34Looking like a guy who came to work.
32:36Excuse me.
32:37Why are you scratching off the senior off my door?
32:40I got a work order to take it off.
32:41Who issued the work order?
32:42My supervisor?
32:44Why did he issue the work order?
32:46I knew then I'd be his supervisor.
32:48You seem to be enjoying yourself.
32:50I have enjoyed myself since 2004.
32:53Donna?
32:54Someone's trying to have a little fun with me here.
32:57Jessica wants to see you in her office.
32:59Now.
33:02And finally, this is where you'll live.
33:08Wow.
33:09I gave you that for a reason you haven't taken one note.
33:11It's because...
33:12Because you were too busy ogling me to listen to a word I've said.
33:18Partners' offices anchor the wings.
33:20Fifth floor is research.
33:21Six is security.
33:22All work gets built, even if it's finding an address.
33:25I answer to Harvey and Louis Slit,
33:27and judging by the way you responded to my questions,
33:30I should admire Harvey and I should fear Louis.
33:33You have been here for five years,
33:34and just because I outrank you
33:36does not mean I have the authority to command your services.
33:38Oh, it's also pretty clear
33:40that you think you're too smart to be a paralegal.
33:43You know what nobody likes?
33:44Nobody likes a show-off.
33:46You used the word ogling.
33:48I mean...
33:50When do I get to see Harvey?
33:52All right, hold on.
33:53Bye.
33:54Thanks for holding.
33:56Gerald Tate fired the firm.
33:58So you're taking my promotion away?
34:00You know, most firms would put you in front of the bar
34:03and have your license stripped.
34:04You lied to a client, and he figured it out.
34:06I lied to him to get him to do the right thing
34:08and honor his goddamn contract,
34:10and you didn't seem to mind so much
34:12when you thought I got away with it.
34:13But you didn't get away with it.
34:15And I can't justify handing you a promotion
34:17on the same day that you lose a huge client.
34:19One client doesn't make a firm.
34:22I don't know if you've noticed,
34:23but we're in the middle of an economic meltdown.
34:25Companies aren't exactly lining up
34:27to spend money on attorneys right now.
34:29And, you know, Gerald might have forgiven the lying
34:32had you not humiliated him.
34:34But you did, and you need to accept that.
34:40Jessica, if you hadn't done as much for me as you have,
34:43I'd be heading for the door.
34:45If I hadn't done as much for you as I have,
34:47I'd be throwing you out the window.
34:50But, Harvey, no more shenanigans.
34:53You do one more thing that isn't straight as an arrow,
34:56and instead of covering your ass,
34:58I will put you in front of the bar myself.
35:07Mike.
35:08Hey!
35:09Who's ready for a great first day?
35:11I'm gonna have to let you go.
35:12What?
35:13I just got reamed for lying to a client,
35:15and if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard,
35:18they'll take away my license.
35:19You what?
35:20Not now, Donna.
35:22Look, I have to put my own interests above yours.
35:25It's nothing personal.
35:26You're fired.
35:28Wait, so you're worried that if I stay,
35:31then they might find out that you lied about me,
35:34and you'll lose your license?
35:37But if you fire me,
35:38then I could tell them that you lied about me,
35:40and you'd definitely lose your license.
35:44Are you telling me that if I throw you under the bus,
35:46you're gonna drag me with you?
35:48You put your interests above mine,
35:50and I'm just putting mine back up next to yours.
35:55You're rehired.
35:59Okay, so should I...
36:00All right.
36:01Here's what's gonna happen.
36:03You're gonna give me back my promotion,
36:04and that's the last we're gonna talk about this.
36:07And why is that?
36:08Because if you don't,
36:09I'm gonna go across town and join Rick Peterson.
36:11I'm gonna approach every client I've ever closed,
36:14and I'm gonna take them with me.
36:16You do that,
36:17and you'll force me to put you in front of the ethics board.
36:19I don't think you will.
36:20And why not?
36:21Because you were obligated to notify them
36:22the second I lied to Gerald,
36:24but you didn't.
36:25You put me in front of the board right now,
36:26I'll put you right up there with me.
36:36I'll, um...
36:36I'll give you your promotion.
36:39But you have to do something for me.
36:40Anything.
36:42Um, pro bono.
36:44Anything but that.
36:45Harvey, pro bono cases are how we as a firm
36:47show that we care about more than just ourselves.
36:50I'm not saying we shouldn't do them.
36:52I'm saying I shouldn't do them.
36:53And it's how you can show me
36:55that you care about more than just yourself.
36:59You'll handle this yourself.
37:00You will not pass it off.
37:02Absolutely.
37:07Your first case.
37:09Awesome.
37:09What is it?
37:10Pro bono.
37:11Sexual harassment.
37:13Don't tell anyone I laid it off on you
37:14and don't screw it up.
37:16Got it.
37:16You can't handle it?
37:18I'll knock it out of the park.
37:20Easy, Clarence Thomas.
37:20Just go meet the client.
37:22Hey.
37:22Didn't I tell you to get some better suits?
37:25I spent $500.
37:27For how many suits?
37:29Five.
37:31What?
37:39Nancy?
37:42Mike?
37:43Yeah, hi.
37:46You're a kid.
37:48No, I'm a grown man.
37:50You're so skinny.
37:52Do they feed you?
37:54Here, have a great.
37:58Why don't you tell me your story?
38:00It started two years ago.
38:02I was a stay-at-home mom to my son, Freddy.
38:05And one day we were at Little League.
38:07Freddy was five.
38:08He really hated that he couldn't play with the older kids.
38:11It was the third inning, and I got a phone call.
38:13Well, my husband had been in a car accident, and he was gone.
38:18Just like that.
38:20I'm so sorry.
38:22I did the best I could.
38:24I got myself a job as a secretary at Devlin McGregor, and I even got promoted to secretary of the
38:29president, Charles Hunt.
38:32And that's when it all changed.
38:35It's okay.
38:36Tell me what happened.
38:38He started asking me to stay late, ordering dinners together, stuff like that.
38:43One night, he says that if I sleep with him, he's going to take care of me in the firm.
38:48And if I don't, he's going to fire me.
38:50So what did you do?
38:52I went to Human Resources.
38:53They said they investigated, couldn't find anything to support my claim.
38:57Two months later, I was fired for poor job performance.
39:01They wouldn't let me say goodbye to anybody.
39:02They wouldn't write me a letter of recommendation.
39:05I wasn't looking for a payoff.
39:07All I wanted was for it to stop.
39:10Can you help me?
39:13Uh, yes.
39:15Yes, I can.
39:21Uh, yes.
39:50Uh, yes.
39:52Yes, I can.
39:52Yes, I can.
39:52You
