You hung me out to dry.
How exactly did I do that?
By making it seem like I'm the one
that's taking away your dream wedding.
You are the one taking away my dream wedding!
We're getting married,
and it can be as small as possible
with just our close friends, okay?
I think we should consider promoting Jack Soloff
to name partner. Are you crazy?
Hardman's got something on him.
If Hardman has something on him,
then we need to have it on him, too.
You want me gone, call for a vote,
'cause we know what's going on with Daniel's investor,
and Harvey's about to put a stop to it right now.
Why should I believe you would even live up to
your end of the bargain?
Because I don't give a shit
about your war with Daniel Hardman.
All I want to do is see you get down on your knees
and say, "I quit."
You're breaking the law every day.
Oh, so now I shouldn't get married?
I'm saying you should quit.
The longer you go,
the less the money matters.
You almost got caught, didn't you?
I went to talk to someone.
Who?
You know who.
Mom? Dad!
Grammy, what are you doing here?
Where's mom? I want to give her a hug.
Dad, too.
What?
You told me not to be mad at them last night, remember?
You said once they got home I should tell them I was sorry
and give them a hug.
But they didn't wake me up, so I didn't get to,
and I want to.
Michael, I have to tell you something.
What is it?
Your--your parents,
last night they were in a car accident.
But they're gonna be okay, right?
Michael, they passed away.
What?
No.
No, they can't be.
You're wrong!
[cries]
I wish I were, baby.
I wish I...
Why didn't you wake me up?
I could have gone to the hospital.
I could have seen them!
They didn't make it to the hospital, sweetheart,
and--and I didn't want to tell you until I had to.
How could you do this to me?
How could you not wake me up?

Did you reconsider my offer?
About resigning?
Yeah, no, not a chance.

Yes.
Well, you're shitty at math, Jack,
because even if we lost McKernon,
one client is not enough to turn the partners against me.
Check your calculator, Jessica,
because you only had half the partners,
and every single one of them is about to lose

Bobby, get--get out.

Listen, Harvey to me.
No, you don't know what you're doing.

Harvey, think about what it would do to your father.

You said that once before and you'd never do this again.
I know what I said.

Don't tear us all to pieces.
Don't destroy your family.
Don't you dare put this shit on me.
[door slams]
Harvey?
Where did you just go?
I'm sorry.
I was just thinking about the time I had to decide
whether or not I should tell my father
that my mother was cheating on him.
And maybe we should talk about that.
I didn't come here to talk about that.
I came here to figure out whether or not I should resign.
And then you started thinking about your mother.
And if your brain went to the one,
then it's connecting it to the other,
and the best thing we can do right now
is to try and figure out why.
I don't have time for that.
Harvey, you asked me to block out the day
for an emergency session, and I did.
We have time.
The white ones are best.
You're just here to make me go in.
I am.
Because sometimes we make choices
we're not old enough to make,
and then we regret them.
I don't want that to happen to you.
Why would I regret not going into that place?
'Cause it's a chance to say good-bye to your parents.
I already missed that.

I do love seeing my boy in the crowd.
Actually, Dad, there's something
I wanted to talk to you about.
I got something for you, too. It's important.
The band's splitting up.
What?
Lenny says he wants to spend his golden years with Marge,
and Dave's wrist isn't getting any better, so--
Well, what about Harry?
Harry's already got an offer from another group.
Well, if they'll take him, they'll take you.

You're not listening, Harvey.
I don't want them to take me.
I want to come home.
Dad, music is your life.
Look, Harvey, I'm the same age your grandfather was
when he died,
and I've already spent way too much of my life
away from my family.
Don't start that. You've been a great father.
Maybe the cool father, but...not a great one.
And now, I know it's too late to make that up to you.
I'm just hoping it's not too late to make it up to Marcus.
Anyway, that's my news.
What--what did you want to talk about?
Nothing. I met a girl.
Great. What's her name?
Scottie.
I'm just trying to figure out the long distance thing.
All I can tell you there is, if she's the one,
you'll know, just like with me and your mother.
So you didn't tell him?
No, I didn't.
But you said that was the night you decided to tell him.
That was the night I decided.
No, you said it as though it was all one night.
I told you it was all one night
because I'm so used to lying whenever I tell this story.
My age--
Why do you lie?
Because I was a grown man when it happened,
and grown men keep their words
when they say they're gonna do something,
not give in to weakness.
But it wasn't weakness that made you break your word.
It was love for your father.
Then aren't I an asshole?
Because I ended up ruining everything two weeks later.
Louis, I need to talk to you for a minute.
About what?
Jack Soloff is calling for a vote
to remove me as managing partner today.
What?
Why the hell would he do that
after you offered to make him name partner?
Because I didn't offer to make him name partner.
I told him to resign.
What happened to our plan?
It wasn't our plan, Louis.
It was your insane idea,
and I was never going to do it.
Jessica--
No, you listen to me.
The matter at hand is
making sure that we have more people on our side
than he and Daniel have on theirs.
What am I supposed to do now?
You are going to do exactly what I told you to do
in the first place.
You're gonna find out what Daniel has
on that weaselly son of a bitch, and do it before 7:00 tonight.
Because if I can't get enough votes before then,
the only way we win is to make this whole thing go away.
[dramatic music]
Cancel my day.
We have to talk.
I'm studying, Grammy.
I don't care what you say you're doing.
What I say I'm doing?
Father Walker called me.
He said you've been acting out.
Father Walker's a priest.
He thinks you're acting out if you're chewing gum.
Well, I agree with him.
Yeah, and you're not at school and all I do is get As.
I don't care what you're getting.
I found these in the trash.
-So what. -So what?
"The Little Prince," "James and the Giant Peach,"
Michael, you love these books.
Yeah, when I was a kid.
Those books were your connection to your mother
and father.
Yeah, well, I don't want them anymore.
You don't want this one either?
Your mother and I didn't always get along,
but I know that she read this to you every night
when you were little because she told me.
And I also know that you'd never let me read it to you
because you said it was so special.
Like I said, I'm not a kid anymore.
Michael, I'm worried about you.
Father Walker is worried.
I don't care what Father Walker thinks,
and I don't care about these stupid books.
Well, I do care,
and I think you'd better go talk to Father Walker tomorrow
because you're not getting all As.
He's giving you an F on your history paper.
Louis, what are you doing here?
How did you get past Stacy?
I walked right by her.
Well, in that case, what can I do for you?
I want to know what the hell you have on Jack Soloff.
I have nothing on Jack other than his trust
and confidence that I'm a better attorney than Jessica.
Shut your mouth.
You're not fit to lick her boots.
Good, because that's your job, Louis, not mine.
Listen to me.
Remember when I told you I'd kill you
if you so much as tell me the incorrect time?
Tell me what you have on Jack right now
or you're dead in 15 seconds.
I remember when you did that, Louis.
And right after that, I went straight to my attorneys
and told them you had threatened my life.
And now, you've come into my office and done it again
in front of a witness.
What witness?
Stacy, did you get that?
I got it.
So as I see it,
security will be here in about 60 seconds.
So if you want to kill me,
now is your chance.
I swear to God, I will find out
what you're holding over Jack's head.
I doubt that,
and I certainly doubt that you'll find it by 7:00.
So instead of me telling you what I have on Jack,
let me tell you what I have on you.
You vote with me today
and your sister's company lives.
-What? -Oh, it turns out
my client is looking to get into the muffin business.
You leave my sister out of this.
Sure thing.
As long as you vote to remove Jessica.
I can't do that.
Then I'm not only gonna buy it,
I'm gonna rip that company of hers apart.
You son of a bitch! She never did anything to you.
No.
But you did.
And Jessica did.
And Harvey did.
So you have a choice,
your firm or your family.
Michael?
It's been a long time.
People have been calling me that a lot lately.
Maybe it's a sign.
How can I help you?
I need to talk to someone.
I was hoping to do it under the confessional.
How long has it been since your last confession?
Aren't you supposed to ask me that after we started?
We have started.
Have a seat.
Here?
Why not?
Confession's meant to be good for the soul
and no one's ever said anything about it having to be done
in a little dark box.
Please.
You gave that paper an F?
It deserves an A.
What about the fact that you cut the entire afternoon last Tuesday?
-I had a doctor's appointment. -You even had a note from your grandmother.
That's right, I did.
The problem is, Michael,
your grandmother wrote me a note yesterday
thanking me for letting her book club use the library.
And those two signatures,
they don't look the same at all.
Okay, well, if you're so sure I did this,
then why are you only giving me an F
and not suspending me?
Because I don't think it's a coincidence that
you chose to cut class on parent-teacher conference day.
That had nothing to do with it.
Mike, your grandmother told me about the books you threw out.
Every parent in the world is obsessed
with their kid cleaning their room.
I actually do it,
and the two of you make a federal case out of it.
You didn't throw out those books to clean.
You did it because you saw those kids out there
with their parents
and you just couldn't deal with that pain.
So you cut class, you went home,
and you threw away the books.
You don't know what I did.
What I do know is that your parents came here every Sunday
and donated money to pay for that uniform
because they wanted you to be here getting an education
and not cutting class.
I've gotten a perfect grade on every assignment
I've ever gotten, all right?
And I don't need to go to your stupid class to do it.
I could have suspended you,
and that would have been much worse than an F.
But you're getting one or you're getting the other.
So why don't you take one night off from blaming me,
and you decided what it is that you're gonna do?
Harvey,
what are you doing here?
I wanted to ask you something.
I was wondering if I could stay with you
while I do my clerkship.
You want to stay with me for the summer?
I promise you won't even know I'm there.
Are you crazy?
Do you have any idea what the people around here would think
if they found out?
Who says they're gonna find out?
I mean, no one knows anything about your personal life anyway.
Harvey, what's going on?
Things aren't good at home.
Your brother?
It's my parents.
Listen, Harvey, I know what it's like
to be living in a home that's not right,
and I also know that you might be tempted to fix things.
But it's not up to the children to fix things.
What if it was?
Then there's something wrong with those two people.
No, there isn't.
There's something wrong with one of them,
and I don't know whether to tell the other one or not.
Look, Harvey, I can't tell you what you should do.
But I can tell you if you come work for me,
you're gonna have to have some difficult conversations.
That's work, this is family.
There are no more difficult conversations than that.
But for the record,
if you do come work here,
we're gonna be family, too.
Hey there.
Your father and Marcus will be here any minute,
and, oh, I made your favorite, chicken parm.
I'm glad they're not here.
It'll give me a chance to tell you that
I'll pretend when they're here,
but I am not gonna pretend when we're alone.
Harvey, please, I'm still your mother.
No, you're not.
Hey, hey, hey, look who's here.
I thought you were working late tonight.
What's up, douche nozzle?
You remember Bobby from down at the shop, don't you, Harvey?
He's helping us get the old Mustang up and running.
That's right, Harvey, I'm getting the Mustang.
And if you think you're ever getting behind the wheel
of that car--
I'm never gonna get behind the wheel of that car.
Because you're jealous.
Because that car's a piece of shit.
Harvey, watch your mouth.
Lil, do we have enough for an extra plate?
Sure. How you doing, Bobby?
I'll be good as soon as I get this grease off my hands.
Where's the bathroom again?
It's down the hall, Bobby.
You know what?
We don't need an extra plate 'cause I'm not eating.
What are you talking about? You're home early.
Your mother made chicken parm.
Well, why don't you eat it?
Because I can't stand chicken parm anymore.
Where you going? Harvey!
This is still my house, you know.
Is it?
So other people know about you?
Not everyone knows everything, but...
people know that I don't have a law degree.
You say that as though it were just a technicality.
And you say that as if you're judging me.
Isn't that what you came here for?
I came here for advice.
You said you came here to confess.
But it doesn't matter, because if--
well, if you're looking for absolution,
I can't give it to you.
Why not?
Because absolution requires contrition,
and I'm not hearing that you even think
you've done anything wrong.
Because using my brain to help people
isn't doing anything wrong.
You're not using your brain to help people.
You're using it to fool people,
and you want me to tell you that you're a good person for it.
I am a good person.
You're a person that wants to have their cake
and eat it, too.
And I'm afraid that I'm all out of cake with you.
What is that supposed to mean?
It means that I've often wondered
whether or not I did the right thing
by not having you arrested that day.
That would have completely screwed up my life.
Oh, and look at how not screwed up it is right now.

So two weeks later I got a place in the city,
I moved out, and I never went back.
You left your brother and your father alone
after all that?
I didn't want to.
Then why did you?
Because I couldn't take knowing that
I was the one that tore everything to pieces.
And you think you'll be doing that again if you resign?
I will be doing that again if I resign.
Well, I think stepping down
isn't tearing everything to pieces.
I think it's a chance to keep everything together.
She gave me my start.
Harvey, I once commented that Jessica sounds like
a hell of a woman,
and you said, "What does it matter?"
Well, you're the one who led me to believe
she's a hell of a woman.
Maybe you did it for a reason.
What reason?
For me to suggest that maybe she'll understand
that you leaving doesn't mean that you don't care about her.
It means that you do.
And what if that's not why I told you all this?
What if you're wrong?
Then I'll be wrong.
And you'll be able to handle that.
I spent a lot of time here.
You remember this place?
I remember everything.
I know you do, Michael.
I was always aware of what a special child you were.
Hasn't changed a bit.
Hasn't it?
What are you talking about?
Michael, I think you came to see me
because when people are in crisis
they're searching for something more,
usually something they've lost.
I lost my parents, and I'm not getting them back.
No, Michael, you lost your faith.

I was just...
Where is he?
Where is who?
Harvey.
Please, it's an emergency.
Well, I'm sorry, he's not here,
and I'm afraid I don't know where he went.
I'm sorry, I just...
Do you mind if I just sit here for a minute?
Of course.
[sighs]
You probably know more about what's going on that I do,
don't you?
I'm sorry, I can't respond to that.
As long as I'm here...
thank you.
For what?
A few weeks ago Harvey finally forgave me
for going to Louis.
And I know he never would have done that
if he hadn't come to see you.
I'm sorry, I can't respond to that either.
You just did.
And thank you again for what you're thinking.
And what is that?
That he never would have come to see you
if it hadn't been for me.
You really can do that.
Yeah, I can.
In fact, I can tell you what you're thinking right now.
What is that?
You're thinking two things, actually.
One, this woman would make an excellent therapist.
And two...
Harvey has no idea what he's missing.

Well, it seems Harvey won't be joining us,
so we may as well get started.
We're here because there's a concern
that I no longer have the best interests of the firm at heart
but am instead focused on the selfish interests
of certain individuals.
For those of you who feel that way,
there's not much I could do
at this point to change your minds.
So...I'll say...
I hope it remains my pleasure to serve this firm.
I think it's time we vote.
Well, if you're not gonna say anything to change their mind,
then I will.
You made it.
Wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Okay, fine, you're here,
but there's nothing that says you can plead her case.
And there's nothing that says he can't,
so why don't you sit your ass down?
Go ahead, then, get your speech over with
so we can get to the vote.
No speech, just this.
A termination letter.
As of now, the company that's been targeting our clients
is no longer represented by Daniel Hardman.
-Bullshit. -Go ahead, call him.
Of course, it might take a while
since you've got to go through the prison switchboard
to get ahold of him.
Yep, that's right.
That's the kind of man Jack Soloff and Daniel Hardman
do business with, one who's already behind bars.
Look, let me be clear.
The attack on this firm was an attack on me.
Daniel blamed me for having to leave this firm,
so he was trying to hit me where it hurt the most,
namely this firm
and my partners and my friends.
But that's over.
He has no more money,
no more power, no more friends.
All of you, you're about to vote on whether
Jessica should continue running this firm.
Now, I know some of you think that she's turned a blind eye
to my behavior and--and the risks I've taken,
but for you to remove her would be the greatest risk of all.
Because if there's one thing I know,
it's that Jessica Pearson cares about this firm
and everyone in it.
Because to her, we're not just colleagues
or even friends,
we're family.
[tense music]
Thank you, Harvey.
Let's vote.
Jessica, I don't think we're gonna be needing the ballots.
I think everybody knows where they stand.
All in favor of Jessica staying.

I'm glad you're here. I need to tell you something.
Whatever it is, it might not matter
after I give you this.
What is it?
Harvey, you didn't just give me my dream.
You gave me a family.
But I'm gonna have a family of my own someday,
and I can't have all of this hanging over their heads.
You're resigning.
I am.
You know, you once asked me why I hired you,
and I told you it was because life is like this
and I like this.
Harvey, please, you can't convince me--
Let me finish.
It was like this
not because of the risk we're taking.
It's because of who you are.
So you're not disappointed?
Are you kidding me?
After that speech, if you hadn't done this,
I'd be kicking you out.
And for the record,
you're not the only one who got more family out of this deal.
