Cooper signed it and now you all closed until we take away the last shred of his dignity bingo well that's not gonna happen and why the hell not because I like mr. Cooper and my firm doesn't operate in bad faith oh I see I see how it is instead of working Cooper you're working me well why don't you take your pansy attitude back in there and make him sign my deal or I'll pay someone else your money to do it for me well first of all Gerald if you think anyone is going to touch this deal after your bad faith you're miss taken second the way our agreement works is the minute coupe this feels like I'm deplaning that same way that we did so real it's okay we just like kind of like turning on identities like they're pretty shocked then let's give it a shot okay like you talk like this whole time like a second all the way our agreement works is the Mini Cooper signed the deal would get you everything you wanted our fee was doing payable which is why at 7:30 I received confirmation of a wire transfer from escrow indicating payment in full he removes the back now it's men's mariah's go get it going everyone gonna be sorry so I paid the balls in your court but the truth is your balls are in my fist I love them now I apologize if that image is too pansy for you but I'm comfortable enough with my manhood to put it out there now Harper holds out the fact that Gerald dumbstruck you know get your ass in there and close the goddamn deal you let him talk to me like this Harvey speaks to the phone Gerald exits Jessica leaned tender Harvey we got paid before Gerald signed the deal look what are you talking about this is a memo from some fire drill on Tuesday you're the blue team captain you get to wear a fur hat and we meet Harvey and Jessica for the first time all right we were in an elf that testing facility a large room filled with college students furiously racing to finish the test until we find one who seems unfazed Mike Ross kick-ass man of suits not norrrreeeeen sign of directions I'm poorly improvising anyway Mike notices a proctor walked by looking at him curiously turns a test over and pretend to nervously work on a blue speed up time until finally the proctor yells time's up pencils down Mike tosses his test on the pile as he does excuse me going to know you from somewhere uh I don't think so I have a pretty good memory for faces so do I the proctor sets mic test down on the side of the pile as this happens and other girls test falls to the floor Proctor bends down to pick it up Mike picks his test up puts it in the middle of pile runs away the proctor notices it and hey hey stop you and the cap or we all know what happens here Mike runs out of the room everybody knows you've all seen it he runs out he bursts through the door the Proctor's chasing and Mike doesn't know what to do he turns lefty turns right he runs into the bathroom he takes his shirt off he takes his glasses off he's about to take the cap off but he doesn't throw it in the trash can to get that in the room take the pants off take his underwear off the silencer is everything Procter burst out of the door as he's about to turn around and see Mike Mike sees a person coming towards him who happens to conveniently be wearing a shirt that's just like the one Mike threw away all right maybe it's bad writing I don't know Mike died as he walked away to proctors about the turn Mike walks into the camera and we meet him for the first time Mike got them raw interior small apartment later that day Mike bangs on the door young man opens it this young man looked a lot like some of the the Proctor and Gerald Tate I don't know why and the [ __ ] would you get me what I said I was going to get here for 158 I told you I wanted a 175 and I told you that only one out of a hundred people could score that you're a b-minus student you've got a thousand on your SATs if I get you a 175 they'll know you cheated so only a genius loser can get a 175 actually no I would get a 180 now can I have my money please he produces a wad of cash thank you that's right whoa this is only half then why don't you go call the police the young man slammed the

Sorkin you're five minutes late is there a reason why I should let you in uh look I'm just trying to ditch the cops okay I don't really care if you let me in or not Harvey opens the door finally we get a wink from Donna they found the guy mr. Specter we'll be right back with you can I get you anything coffee bottled water we are cutting inside Mike and Harvey shake hands hi Rick Sorkin hi respector nice to meet you don't you have a seat here as they shake the briefcase bursts open huge bunch of weed drums out Wow was this holy [ __ ] it's a little later Mike's obviously told the story of the weed in his hole practically his whole life I don't know how we did that but go and how the hell did they know and how the hell did you know they were the police I read this novel in elementary school is the exact same thing you read a novel in elementary school what I like to read and and why did you ask him what time it was to throw them off I mean what kind of drug dealer asked a cop what time it is when he's got a briefcase full of pot right Harvey shakes his head no we should hire you jeez I'd give you a 25 grand as a signing bonus I'll take it unfortunately we only hire from Harvard and you not only did not go to Harvard Law School you haven't even gone to any law school what if I told you I consume knowledge like no one you've ever met and I've actually passed the bar let's say you're full of crap Mike point to the book sticking out of barberry legal handbook right there okay open it up read me something anything are we done civil liability associated with the agency associated with the agency is based on several factors including the deviation of the agent from his past a reasonable inference of agency on behalf of the plaintiff and the nature of the damages themselves how did you know that I learned it when I studied for the bar okay hotshot fire up this laptop I'm going to show you what a Harvard attorney can do pick a topic stock option backdating although back dating options is legal violations arise related disclosures under IRC section 409 and you forgot about sarbanes-oxley you know statute of limitations renders sarbanes-oxley moot moot post 2007 but not if you can find actions to cover up the violation is established in the Sixth Circuit May 2008 you know that's impressive but you're sitting at a computer playing hearts oh [ __ ] sorry do you want to be me you're going to have to do it something else how can you know that I told you I like to read and once I read something I understand it and once I understand it I never forget it okay look this is all pretty fascinating stuff but I'm afraid I got to get back to work I'll make sure that Serpico isn't around waiting for you Harvey looks outside sees five guys that are not what he's looking for and he knows mike is the guy if you want this job so much wanting to just go to law school when I was in college it was my dream to be a lawyer I needed some money and Trevor convinced me to memorize this math test and sell it and it turns out we sold it to the Dean's daughter I lost my scholarship I got kicked out of school I got knocked into a different life and I have been wishing for a way back ever since let me tell you something [Music] this isn't elementary school this is hard work long hours high pressure I need a grown goddamn man you give me this and I will work as hard as it takes to school those Harvard douches to become the best lawyer you have ever seen whoo I'm good I'm inclined to give you a shot Jessica will kill me you'll be fine with it in the end zone yeah there aren't going to be any consequences they'll never get caught don't worry because I'm inclined to give you a shot but what if I decide to go another way I'd say that's fair and sometimes I like to hang out with people that aren't that bright too I'm just anxious to see how the other half lives move over I'm emailing the firm I found our next associate Mike smiles is Harvey Kate all right you're gonna start a week from Monday here's what you're going to do first you want to say this montage how we see a montage right Deena Deena first no more pot we drug test stop smoking now you'll be fine I assume that velvet drugs we do how'd you know that because you read books I read people and pothead smoked pot that's what they do well it's not all I do I mean I have interests yeah your Albert

get to that briefcase and you're going to get on a plane to Harvard and you're gonna learn everything there is about going to law school there did you buy that suit yeah well let's buy some new ones oh yeah Mike goes to Harvard talked his way in we did cut a few scenes for time on this so we're going to jump ahead exterior Street Manhattan Mike comes up from the subway carrying his bike where we established that Mike I'd like to work it's different than a lot of other people he walks into the firm he's stunned it's amazing he can't believe it all of a sudden out of nowhere Mike Ross he turns around he's been hit by a bolt of lightning because he's met Rachel Zane hi I'm Rachel Zane I'll be giving you your orientation wow you're pretty okay good good you've hit on me we can get out of the way that I'm not interested know what no I'm sorry I wasn't hitting on you trust me I've given dozens of these and without fail whatever new hotshot it is things that because I'm just a paralegal then I will somehow be blown away by his dazzling degree but let me assure you I won't take notes nothing repeat myself she walks away we're now in the hallway Rachel continues a tour the firm operates on a chain of command model Harvey's your commanding officer however Louis litt he oversees all associates oh you'll also answer to him what do you think about Harvey people are in all of him they say he's the best closer there is but I have very little contact with him so I don't know and what about this Louis litt no let's continue Harvey arrives strutting through the halls cockier than usual hey Becky you are glowing wonder why that is oh yeah it's the day they announced my promotion Jimmy have you lost weight whoa Steve Oh looking TiVo sloppy and unkempt like a guy who came to word Harvey approaches his door senior partner newly stenciled on it he notices a man is scratching the senior off excuse me why are you scratching off the senior off my door I got a work order to take it off who issued the work order goddamn it my supervisor why did he issue the work order if I knew that I'd be his supervisor you seem to be enjoying yourself I haven't enjoyed myself since 2004 Oh baby Donna shows up Donna someone's trying to have a little fun with me here Jessica wants to see you in our office now holy [ __ ] we are back Rachel arrives with Michaels cubicle finishing the tour and finally this is where you'll live Wow I'm sorry what's wrong with you I gave you that notepad for a reason you haven't taken one note oh yes it's because I said you were too busy ogling me to listen to word up said partners offices anchor the wings v boards research six of security all work gets billed even if it's finding an address I answered the Harvey and Lois lid and judging by the way you responded to my questions I should admire Harvey in fear Louis you've been here for five years and just because I outrank you does not mean I have the authority to command your services oh and it's also pretty clear that you can kick you smart to be a paralegal and she is too smart to be a bear thanks Aaron ah you know what nobody likes nobody likes to show off you used the word ugly she heads off where are you going hey when do I get to see Harvey cut - Harvey Jessica in Jessica's office Gerald Tate fired the firm so you're taking my promotion away you know most firms would put you in front of the bar and have your license stripped you lied to a client and he figured it out I lied to him to get to him to get him to do the right thing an honor is goddamn contract and you didn't seem to mind so much when you thought I got away with it but you didn't get away with it and I can't justify handing you a promotion on the same day that you lose a huge client one client doesn't make a firm I don't know if you've noticed but we're in the middle of an economic meltdown companies aren't exactly lining up to spend money on attorneys right now and you know Gerald might have forgiven the line had you not humiliated him but you did and you need to accept that Jessica if you hadn't done as much for me as you have I'd be heading for the door if I hadn't done as much for you as I have I'd be throwing you out the window I'm sorry not even if Harvey were only that easy no more shenanigans you do one more thing that isn't straight as an arrow and instead of covering your ass I'll put you in front of the bar myself we're back in Harvey's office he comes in doesn't see Mike sit in there Mike hey who's ready for a great first day I'm gonna have to let you go what just got reamed for lying to a client and if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard they'll take my they'll take away my license you what not not now Donna look I have to put my own interests above yours it's nothing personal but you're fired woo-wit MIT so you're worried that if I stay then they might find out that you lied about me and you lose your license but if you fire me then I could tell them that you lied about me and then you would definitely lose your life are you telling me that if I throw you under the bus you're going to drag me with you what made you put your interests above mine I'm just putting mine back up next to yours and big error of judgment right here you're rehired okay so should i okay all right Harvey walks right back into Jessica's office okay here's what's going to happen you're going to give me back my promotion and that's the last we're going to talk about this and why is that because if you don't I'm going to go across town enjoying Rick Peterson I'm going to I'm going to approach every client I've ever closed and I'm going to take them with me oh you do that you'll force me to put you in front of that you do that you'll force me to put you in front of the Ethics Board I don't think you will and why not because you are obligated to notify them the second I lied to Gerald but you didn't you put me if you put me in front of that board right now I'll put you right up there with me Jessica turns her back to Harvey we should see a smile across her face this is her plan she turns back feigning defeat I'll give you your promotion but you have to do something for me anything a pro bono she Oldham a file anything but that Harvey pro bono cases are how we as a firm show that we care about more than just ourselves I'm not saying we shouldn't do them I'm saying I shouldn't do them and it's how you can show me that you care about more than just yourself you'll handle this yourself you will not pass it off absolutely she taught some violet flies in the air and lands in Mike's laps your first case awesome what is it pro bono sexual harassment don't tell anyone that later it off on you and don't screw it up got it you can't handle it I'll knock it out of the park e-easy cleaners Congress just go meet the client hey didn't I tell you to get some better suits I spent $500 for how many suits five what might go to the park approaches of client her son Freddie riding the bike in the background Nancy Mike yeah hi you're a kid I mean no I'm a grown man you're so skinny have a grape yeah it takes a bunch of grapes thank you why did you tell me your story it started two years ago I was a stay-at-home mom to my son Freddie and one day we were at Little League freddie was five he really hated that he couldn't play with the older kids it was the third inning and I got a phone call my husband had been in a car accident and he was gone just again I'm so sorry I did the best I could I got myself a job as a secretariat a devil MacGregor and I even got promoted to Secretary of the president Charles Hunt and that's when it all changed it's okay tell me what happened he started asking me to stay late order and dinner and see other stuff like that one night he says that if I sleep with him he's going to take care of me in the firm and if I don't he's going to fire me so what did you do I went to human resources they said they investigated couldn't find anything to support my claim two months later I was fired for poor job performance they wouldn't let me say goodbye to anybody they wouldn't write me a letter of recommendation I wasn't looking for a payoff all I wanted was for it to stop can you help me yes yes I can because Mike Ross cares Harvey hotdogs fan takes two hotdogs from vendor as Mike approaches what do you need my help for wait can I just buy a good hot dog glam doll is it okay give me an update okay you know she she's been nice to see the nice woman she on the case I don't get emotionally attached to the clients but this woman had her life ripped apart you don't even care I'm not about caring I'm about winning why can't you be about both well I'd explain it to you but then I'd have to care about you right check it my bike walk what are you doing don't I'm sad I'm just checking my lock but you run you ride your bike too it's locked okay come on they go in defense sent over the investigation files as a courtesy no they didn't nobody does anything as a courtesy they sent those files because that's where they want you to look listen being a lawyer is like being a doctor you mean how you don't get emotional about the client no I mean you kept Brett you keep pressing until it hurts then you know where to lurk look look forget about impeaching the investigation it won't lead anywhere no employees going to testify against her own CEO okay okay so what do you suggest I do think if this guy's done this once he's done it before and if the people who work for him now won't testify against him someone who used to work for a Mike you know what I to Pina the personal records if everyone was left the firm during this guy's tenure oh that's funny because that's exactly what I thought what do you need my help for I don't know how to fill out a subpoena figure it out yourself they arrived at Donna's desk hey Donna can you show me how to fill out a subpoena absolutely and after that do you want me to

Harvey yeah all right Mike you're sitting across from Louis at his death I know you had a Napoleon tation from Rachel but I wanted to give you special welcome for me amongst other things I'm sort of the disciplinarian of the associate Sophie it appears this is or you want us to uh yeah Gary please come in Mike this is Gary Lipsky Gary's one of our most promising associates from last year oh hey hey man hey Gary miss Pearson we wanted me to ask have completed the petramco filing it well my brother was in over the weekend so I didn't really get to it Gary come on this is this is like a third time I've had to ask I'll get right on it well don't bother you're fired what you can't fire Moe yes I can and I just did so go pack up your [ __ ] and don't ever show your face in this place again Gary exits done Lois turn to Mike see I am I arranged for you to see that because we pay our associates very well and we provide the opportunity for unlimited advancement but in return we expect results have I made myself clear oh yeah great okay here's an application I don't feel free to go back to work we are back in Mike's apartment he comes home to find Trevor on his couch watching TV what are you doing here hold on Trevor looks a lot like Gary what are you doing here you won't return my phone calls yeah because you set me up do you remember that you think I knew about that oh here we go round 50 of I get the shaft because you didn't know the whole story hey you knew there were risks when you quoted the correct that crap from that book okay you needed money and I came through with an opportunity like always besides you weren't the only one who's gonna get screwed it was a gun on me oh really and why they do that to keep me from warning you so you did know well not until after it was too late well it's too late now I called floors and for Trevor to leave look let me make it up to you oh you want to make it up to me how much you give me my key back Mike come on sometimes I don't want to live in a world where we're not tight well then kill yourself oh it's so tense over-reaction get out get the hell out Trevor leaves we're into act for Harvey leaves his office and pest is not on the way out and stressed to go outside this is a scene a lot of people like we're going to skip it no we're not we can it's okay we get it we don't need this one Donna I need the Cheeseman envelope full of cash Oh also I didn't have a chance she gave him a coffee marry me I took care of that too we've been married for the last seven years by the way this is season seven that's not a foreshadow pointing that out excellent Devon McGregor is fighting the subpoena they filed a motion to dismiss the case based on our lack of evidence good good what do you mean good they don't want you to hand over the files you press where it hurt you're looking in the right place did you think they wouldn't fire pipe back well now that you mention it oh my bad I keep forgetting you don't actually know anything ha ha ha ha ha the idea is you make you make a move they make a move you go back and forth until one of you win ok so what if they win the motion in the case gets dismissed then you're not as good as you think you are they run into Jessica Harvey what a coincidence I was wondering how the pro-bono was coming ooh where are we and okay yeah hey I'm all over it it was bit a bit far down on the page but when we had just been so welcome to our world that makes me very aware because if I were to find out that you weren't putting in your full effort I'd be very upset no worries man hey we're all good party remains cool as a cucumber Mike approaches Rachel and follows her back to her off Rachel hey I need your help there's a hearing on my subpoena I've got three cases in front of yours waiting line wait no no no my hearing it's tomorrow so why are you coming to me because Donna says that you're the best researcher in the firm life your emotion he answered to it whoa whoa wait what you have an office what how why do you have an office and I have a cubicle well like you said I'm the best researcher in the firm oh really I just made that part up I didn't even have time to talk to Donna is this a joke to you because Mike I take my job seriously no I'm sorry look you weren't there okay I I care about this woman she's got nowhere else to turn and I can't help provide yourself I can I just I prefer not to okay you're asking to look the private files without any evidence of your assertion yeah but the only way that we can find the evidence is to look at those files that's a rickety argument but is there precedent well let's go see if we can find them we pick them up in the library okay research is as much art as science so we're going to look at privacy and harassment law and see if we can find a combination of cases to make an argument I'll take privacy I'll take restaurant this is going to take a while we're going to need dinner Chinese no I can afford Chinese on my own this is on the firm I want sushi we cut to later in the evening they're finishing their sushi remember when I said you thought you were too smart to be a paralegal why aren't I a lawyer look I don't test well I think this is my audition see ya I am smart and I know I'd be a good lawyer but I don't know what it is I can't take tests and I bombed the LSAT and even if I could get into law school there's just no way I passed the bar so way there was someone who could take the test for me yeah oh yeah well if only there were yeah it's an awkward moment Harvey walks in hey where are you at with the research for tomorrow's hearing nothing yet you say you care about the client but if you keep look you say you here we go so I'll change Donnie now it's blue whoa man my good would change who was highlighted my experience everyone else's lines of [ __ ] I don't do that when I work okay here we go we're all together humble they tell you not to highlight the script that's acting okay sorry I'm Leslie you say you care about the client but if you keep playing footsie instead of finding finding me an argument the clients going to lose I don't want to lose look it's no use okay their investigation is by the book and we look like the bad guys coming in putting them under duress wait wait what do you what did you just say I said we look like the bad guy no you said they did it by the book and we're putting them under duress yeah look we cut outside the next morning Harvey leaves on a town car as Mike approaches that's the first time I'm on the town car let's go okay this is good we're gonna have some fun wait we I get to go what you didn't think I'd let you come along no good instinct that wasn't then I thought it would be cruel not to let you witness my greatness cool okay can I go get my back no okay here in the courtroom the Harvey bailiffs judge mic stenographer GUP Your Honor mr. specters claim that we don't care about our employees no belittling doesn't carry in a weight as a rule of law true but what does Carrie wait is that an investigation of sexual harassment must be conducted without any direct your hold on the investigator what happened did I change the pronunciation of Haris man okay Carnegie Mellon drama oh here we go iris told it's not harassment in harassment its aluminium $40,000 a year for alright but it works that's weird we did a lot of Shakespeare at Yale tomorrow and tomorrow and 152 the place okay why don't we go back to the page right hey Cruz Williams secretary anyway here we go the investigator and every person being interviewed answers to the CEO they're investigating that is the definition of duress it'd be as if your bailiff accused you of sexual harassment haha and you assigned your stenographer to investigate now how likely would it be that this investigation yields is any fruit you honestly think I would harass Herman well I don't know your honor some people have a thing for the uniform I'd like to think Herman would come to me before I even got to an investigation well what if Herman did come to you your honor and you betrayed his trust by firing him under false pretenses you really think that little of me I wouldn't trust you as far as I can throw you your honor and over the files today that's it Herman I'd like to speak to you in chambers and they win Mike turns to Harvey that was awesome look he's your argument I just framed it in a way that humanized situation and brightened all of our afternoon I feel like Michael Corleone and that scene where the fat guy teaches him how to shoot that gun mm-hmm are you saying that I'm the fat guy because I am NOT the fat guy you know his name was yeah cordosa Clemenza I knew that I knew that I was just testing to see if you knew that yet and I knew that you knew that I knew we're back in Rachel's office she's at her desk Mike enters excited Hey so the files are on their way we won that's fantastic so we we have a week to corroborate Nancy's story listen I I couldn't have done it without you you wouldn't have even known where to look without me hey you know what nobody likes nobody likes a show-off she smiles her intercom buzzes hello yeah he's here okay thank you files are in conference room speed why wouldn't they bring them to my cubicle cut to a conference room huge amount of oxy because they're trying to bury you in paperwork well I picked the wrong guy Harvey's office next morning Harvey enters to find Mike on the couch been up all night I know where they don't want us to look did you get through all those files in one night well I mean I would have done it faster but I ordered a pizza speaking of which have you ever had the cheese in the in the cross because it blew my mind what'd you find there was a dismissal March 12 2005 but the file with the employee meat pony name on it is missing that's our woman I know it I'm going to move to slap sanctions on their attorney possible jail time and the guy is not going to know what hit them Harvey thousands found Dennis entire sector did you have anything to do with the March 12th 2005 files left out of discovery if they're here by noon I'll believe you if not we're filing for sanctions he hangs up threat of sanctions is better than filing for sanctions yeah that's what I meant you know threatened sits not file why would then why would I mean that why would not be that exterior apartment building Mike's on the steps of a brownstone is Joanna Webster approaches Joanna Webster can I help you hi my name is

background for anything they might use against her you got it got it make her tell you everything everything everything everything everything okay we're in the deposition everybody's in there Harvey Mike Dennis Joanna Charles hunt sonographer I've been working in six months when mr. hunt started asking me to work more order dinner one night late he tried to have sex with me no it's not just ran here you think I out it's also fun to watch him do it the next day I requested a change an assignment two months later it was fired for having a bad attitude this is ridiculous wait that's mark off your face supposed to be here mr. Hahn has every right to be here now mrs. Webster after working for Devlin McGreggor you then went on to waitress at Hooters right yes I did a place that advertises the sexuality of its waitstaff correct you'll have to ask them them I'm asking you and she's not answering move on miss Webster would you say that you're a truthful person yes so when you said earlier that you had never been arrested for a crime you were speaking the truth yes yes so in 1993 then you were not arrested for stealing a thousand dollars worth of jewelry from the Willow Grove mall in Pennsylvania I was 17 that was one mistake those records were supposed to be sealed so when you say those records were sealed what do you mean to say is you thought you could get away with a lie no that's not it you're making it seem different than it is I'm sorry you were arrested in your past and you lied about it here under oath is that what making it seem different than what it is no answer all right let me ask you this since you've lied here once what's to make us leave you're not lying about mr. hunt Lana run Ted the room Mike gets up to go after Harvey policy how the hell did you miss that arrest no I did every background check we have did you grill her like I told you it was a sealed record car dammit I knew it fix it Mike runs after Joanna outside Joanna wait wait this is why I didn't want to testify they twist something from a hundred years ago and make me look like the liar they make it sound like what what he did to me didn't happen it doesn't matter all right I just I need you to testify on Friday to keep this case alive we don't have time to find anyone else before then would you please no I'm not waiting you promised this wouldn't happened and it did you never told me that you don't have contact me again holy [ __ ] later that night Mike's at his desk it takes a briefcase weed out drops the security tag off the desk walks out as he goes harvey catches up with them in the lobby what happened with the witness nothing nothing happened I couldn't fix it so you're gonna quit with either that or have Louis lit fire me what are you talking about my first day Lewis fired Gary Lipsky for screwing up a case he said if I did the same thing I'd be gone just as fast well you go back to your witnesses house and you get her to testify again I tried there's no way there's always a way then why don't you go and convince her because you screwed it up oh and you don't give a damn about the client right that's not my job is your job including giving a damn about me because the least you could do is offer to stand up to Lewis for me stand up for you I put my ass on the line for you but it turns out you may have had the ball okay but it turns out you may have had the balls to get this job but you don't have the courage to stick it out when it gets tough it's not true isn't it you've had one foot out the door since we got here what are you talking about I'm talking about that briefcase being locked in your desk yeah I saw it and I know what it is to back up the plan in case this doesn't work out you can make some quick cash and go right back to the life you told me you didn't want to leave so you want to quit go ahead but this isn't because of Lewis and it isn't because of me because you're afraid you might have to admit you're not as smart as you think you are if you're here in the morning although I still have an associate Harvey walks off Mike ride through the city trying to figure out what he's going to do he gets home he pulls out his old pipe to take the pot out like to match before he can take the hit he puts down in his custom runs out of the apartment meanwhile back at the firm Lewis washes his hands in the men's room Harvey storms in hey I get that you were upset because I was promoted before you but if you ever threaten to fire one of my guys again I am kick your ass what are you talking about don't play dumb with me all right you fired Gary Lipsky in front of Mike Ross what's so funny Gary lives he works in the mailroom what I didn't fire anyone that's how I let the new associates know what's expected of them you plant a fake employee to manipulate the attorney that's it what back in Mike's grandmother's room Mike enters the room grandmother's asleep she wakes up he sits down Michael I want to quit come here when your parents died I lost my son and my daughter-in-law I was scared alone and I was too old to radio but I had no choice because who else was going to take care of my grandson you made me a promise before you're in the door promise me now the only way you leave is if they rip you out well Harvey shows up at Joanna's department he knocks on the door she opens it you can save your breath there's no way I'm testifying at the hearing tomorrow that's not why I'm here I know what you did what are you talking about you never worked at Devlin MacGregor and you never and you were never Harris no she wasn't I'm sorry Harris what is Hera you are never Harris bye Mike bye mr. hunt that is a lie look I could tell you that I've got the canceled checks or the wire transfer or whatever smoking gun that exists I don't but I will and when I do you'll be going to jail unless you tell me what happened right now I'm the guy you tell all I had to do is waste your time until after the hearing tomorrow please I just needed the money I don't want to go to jail okay here's what you're gonna do Mike storms and Trevor's to find Trevor and Jenny hey I'm not I'm not giving it to you because you need it I'm giving it to you because I don't and I don't know if I'm ready to forgive you or not yet or not but I do know we're even wait a second he goes into the room comes out with a bunch of suits and opens briefcase showing Jenny to weep now we're even she got him back are we that at death next morning Mike comes in she came to work today nice suit it was a barter transaction got six of them for one little briefcase hey listen I'm sorry and forget it when I first started Jessica wrote me so hard [Music] and I think we're done thanks for coming everybody Morrie later um I have let's do it again alright forget it when I first started Jessica rode me so hard good a second tactic I quit once a month I just look I just told you what you needed to hear no that's just it I've only ever had one person who told me what I needed to hear maybe it's time I started trusting somebody else he tosses microphone can I go back and just say this porch forget it okay Merry Christmas this is for real you know what to do press until it hurts we're in the court Mike found a piece of paper wire transfer from your account to Joanna Webster's phone records prior to her testimony and an affidavit city you paid miss Webster to falsely testify Mr Hunt harassment is a civil violation as is Harrison harassment the penalty is money but with a witness tampering that's a crime and you will go to prison what where where I guarantee you'll learn more about unwanted sexual advances than you could possibly imagine you think that this is going to intimidate me even if this evidence was credible who are you going to get the prosecuted small-time witness tampering charge Harvey didn't you graduate law school with the current US Attorney of New York in fact I did and I think he might even be interested in pursuing a case like this wait are you are you still close well I was the best man at his wedding Wow no you weren't you're bluffing Harvey show some pictures you know I think I got some pictures of us at the ceremony well let's see yeah yeah here we are look I must admit I look very dashing this is me and his mother wanted doors me here we are does bachelor party yet no strippers yes pretty lame but can't put guys like that away for sexual harassment and then go to strip clubs now Kenny alright what do you want admission of guilt and I guarantee that you'll obtain treatment before working again and Nancy gets reinstated with back pay fine in a raise okay all right are we done kid should be able to grow up without the burden of tuition hanging over his head don't you think which is why you're also going to pay Nancy an extra two hundred and fifty thousand dollars [ __ ] no it's not Charles were agreeing to this gentleman we're done oh ho [ __ ] victory Harvey and Mike walk out of the courthouse so just one question why'd you go to Joanna's house because I figured it out I object I think you did it because you care I did it because it's my job would you admit it you care about me I saw you smile when I showed up for work this morning I didn't smile I was thinking of a funny joke look we start on this tomorrow wait did this mean we're officially a team then I wouldn't move your things in the Wayne Manor just oh so now so now you're Batman closer to him than Clemenza oh yeah Kilmer West Cluny Eden did you really quit when you first started of course not know what as they walk off that is suits ladies and gentlemen before we have time for a quick Q&A reading those lines it brings back memories of shooting the pilot I have to run with thanks guys you love whatever I think it's the bathroom no we'll wait I do have to thank you guys too much actors very good writer Aaron so awesome yeah it's not back a lot of memories for me makes me think about that time there's a lot of kissing going on up here huh I didn't remember half of that yeah that was a trip like a specific memory yeah during the pilot you met my first impressions of meeting each other I just remember it being like shooting like a sometimes work can feel like work from this felt like play the whole time I thought it was like Aaron's first show on his everyone just had this feeling of like it was a first flush of we all just wanted to figure it out we're having a great time out of people on here had been on many series before for me it was the first thing I had ever really done of this size and it just felt like everybody was in it together and we were like we would stay longer than you would normally stay to make the scene work and make each other laugh and so much of what was going on between Gabriel and I think was just how could we like take the piss out of each other even more and more and more and keep each other awake in the late nights and just make everybody behind video village laugh and I just remember it being like they didn't feel like a job it felt like we were left of our own devices which is rare - everything we had that group email the other day and I was saying we had all lived in the same corporate housing yeah so on top of working together we were all living together yeah which makes a whole different dynamic I think we just became this little family right out of the gate yeah that was really sweet there was there was an instant level of comfort and and there was chemistry that's only grown and when you have that it's it's safe it's safe to play it safe to explore it's safe to you know take chances and and I think it's for - we didn't really get to see it in this episode but there is nothing I love more than a Rachel Donna scene as I'm sure everyone here does do you have a favorite team that you guys have done together oh I mean the shell Rollins you Michelle Ross I'm Harriet Specter it was the best when they go to the bar and they take on these different personas and we you know we just sort of played around with that again recently no it's great all the themes are good and what was the one we're in the bath my favorite when I've ever liked Michael your nose with a brush and I got to watch Megan's nose like moved like I don't even know how you do that what's been do it for everybody no it's like that'll be which twitch right yeah cranking out so I do it so I I think we did it a few extra times good-natured fun Aaron which character do you think has changed the most since this first eyelid oh wow a good question I'm you know while they were reading this I was like it they're they've changed a lot they've obviously changed tremendous amount but they're the same the dynamics are very much the same they they progress they've evolved but I feel like in many ways they're the same I don't know how to answer whose change the most could be Lewis to be Harvey to be done it could be Mike I think I'd say so us there there you go that's what I think I'm seeing a change I mean like finally a lawyer now how does it feel heading into the next season I mean it's cool it's cool to see the beginning of like I'm going to vote that line I'm going to be the best goddamn lawyer you've ever seen and to think now what we're shooting is he is the best you know the better under this guy the best goddamn boy in this lady very gay it's maybe not the best yet it's going to be a thing yeah it's funny you know we began a story with this pilot of somebody hiding it's great secret and it carried so much of the show for so long that it's interesting to be shooting a show now that isn't isn't it still infected by those years but informed by those years but it's not under the weight of all of that it's pretty cool you guys are going to hit 100 episodes very soon when the season comes back first any surprises that you like plan and Pat Reardon direct I am I'm directing yeah yeah so far after this read-through learning I also want to say Rick Meraki one of our writers that's been with the show since day one is going to be writing 100th episode I want to give them a shout out I also want to thank Jay partisan gene Klein my producing partners that are here I can't see them because it's dark but they've been there since the beginning of 2008 we started this thing you know look the hundredth episode here's the funny thing we haven't even really finished writing it yet we're going to shoot it in about two weeks that's the way it goes I'm totally sorry to say so we have built two what we hope will be an awesome episode we try to you know build a story that's really satisfying and really good and hopefully it'll be another good episode okay we have a question from B Quinn for the win on Twitter the what of the cast you think would be most likely to make it as a real lawyer yeah dr. Harris me not Rick Hockman Rick do you have a rebuttal to that if the material was written I'd be an amazing cross examiner ever ever but it has to be written I came in I can't do it myself I'm going to go out I'm gonna say Patrick Patrick who pull it off it's what my mom would say to them I just I just you said I just argue everything all the time until people it's like flying that's yeah I'm sorry I have to ask there was a finale line you said to Harvey I'm sure everyone wants to know about that could be left sort of open for interpretation what do you think she meant I think she meant everything that everybody in this room is thinking she meant I think I think it was loaded I think it was like she said she wanted more is that one yep she wants more she wanted more and then he said what do you mean more and she said I don't know I'm gonna have to figure that out and I think she's in process we have another question from Twitter who's the prankster in the cast Gabriel someone become a prankster please well I mean it's not we don't it's not like we're like oh my god Rick put a spider in my it's not like that no Gabriel did do that slap joke though from the yeah the bloopers yeah I mean like if he will Gabriel thinks is funny I don't you know it was like hey um he gave me like a knock-knock joke and the surprise of the knock-knock joke was wrapping his open hand across my face and he was hysterical it's on the blooper erock Ashley for the first season he still thinks it's funny to this day and I'm going to get anybody to everybody but the guy he just got slapped in the face I mean but it just wasn't like it was like a record the entire me who choked in Austin Texas and that makes it all get it I fell off my plastic chair on my back laughing my head on this guy couldn't find the humor in it you should used to tell it one more time just to see if he gets that the second time go ahead yeah now he gets read do you just keep complaining about the highlighted script you're reading and barri harvey and lewis or nothing like Gabriel and actually pens is true we are I got to just say being here today for this is you know hundred episodes and you guys sitting here in front of us this is this is truly like winning not one lottery ticket but three because it takes one lottery ticket to actually get a pilot it takes another lottery ticket to have a show that not only is picked up but actually lasts and has legs but to sit here for 100 episodes with my cast members who we all still like can actually look at each other and work together and like you know it's been six years and still have great quality of writing and it's it's it's it's it's impossible and to be here in front of you I can't thank you guys enough for being here to support this show and actually sit through the pilot read I mean I just all I got to say is thank you and I'll never I'll never forget it kena I think everyone here was really excited to see you return in the finale so I think we're hoping that you haven't closed the door and stepping Jackson's and Jessica's shoes again we might see your whole body went to that door open on my way I've got a Louboutin right yes in the door at all times yes do you have a favorite moment of yours from playing character over the years there's so many I have to say some of my favorite scenes are are with Lois I mean she thank you know you and I have our thing but what Lois brings out in Jessica is you see how she can manage absurdity you know I kind of straightforward with with Harvey and I and it's and it's charged so charged but then you see this other side and and it's sort of brilliant how it's when you see her deal with Harvey it's one thing when you see her deal with Lewis then you really see why she has that corner office and why it's all it all works together because she can do both and she can inspire them to do whatever she wants them to do and that's and so that's great for any of you was there a scene over the years that was particularly really challenging and tough mud - annex in the file room was weird BAM was wait yeah of course that was a little strange I mean I only episode was hard yeah yeah that was fun Rick you had such an emotional scene in the finale and thought Lewis got his heart broken yet again uh yeah I mean get that if that's also something it's unbelievably scary like you know that particular scene that I had with Rachel's List last season and then the one in in the episode this is Rome with Jessica when Lewis finds out Mike's lie those are all like the most scary moments when I read in the script you know oh my god how the hell if you know it's just those are challenging those are like but beyond like it's just an unbelievable you know I just hope you know I just hope each time that it comes out the way Aaron earn and whoever else and the viewers want it to Aaron usually calls me when it doesn't tell me that I suck and when it's awesome no no no but um and when he's fired and when I fired Rick 43 or 45 minutes or less I wouldn't know what to do without the firing hey I don't want to say because I'm thinking about this as these guys are here we write these things and you know we're in a room we're sitting we read them out loud and we feel like they can do this it's no problem it's so hard to be an actor it is unbelievably hard and the things they do they're always game for it they always give it a 150 percent and we're asking them to do things that are emotional vulnerable cry be funny sometimes in the same scene and they're amazing we would not be here I said this at the beginning who said again if it weren't for these six people right here you would not be here we have another question from Facebook for everyone who is your favorite guest star on the show so far you had so many really great one Abigale spend all the roles so lucky with it I mean how many would we like choosing a favorite child Wendell Pierce we all like obviously my wife my wife our wives our wives my beautiful wife my my father Steven Mata that was a cool terrific that's been amazed my own parents who can actually ride yeah a couple times on skype when do we say Wendell yeah we said okay unless I'd loved our British Invasion though Conliffe come on please now fairly actually with our Irish invasion era clothes pretty great Tanner uh-huh Christina Cole Gary Cole Gary Cole Eric Roberts Robert I don't know man Dashiell a man Amanda we get very very lucky those are those are really I mean power Lemax top ones all hair oh yeah those are hard those are hard jobs to come in and kill it with a character we only get a couple of teams to do it we've been so blessed with all of our guest cast thank you is there anyone you'd love to bring back that maybe you haven't been able to for various reasons but you're hoping to get them back in a Charles Barkley I'd like to work with ya that was great that was great day well we owe in the writers room we have sort of a bunch of cards with all the guest stars with the characters names that we've worked with over the years to remind us of them and then what will happen is when we're breaking a story and we're trying to think of something the character that is right to come back sort of emerges oftentimes three or four the writers will all think of that character at the same time because we know it's time for that person to come back david costabile brilliant oh um who plays Hartman so there's just so many I mean I want them all to come back and we can't see them all again but I hope to see many of them again season seven is just around the corner we already touched on it but it's a bit of a reset and we're seeing some people in certain new situations Rachel also is finally going to be a lawyer does that reinvigorate you to sort of reset and see your characters in a little bit of a different situation are you Megan oh I mean of course I'm so I'm so happy that especially reading the pilot again you get to see where she started even saying you know talking about Harvey Specter and saying but I don't really know him or work with them and to watch that progression she's worked so hard and I love that as a role model how she's been crafted to balance it all but yeah and now have this place at the firm where she really knows her standing and her office isn't just because she's a good researcher it's because she's an associate she's really earned that spot and Patrick here finally I know you were away for so long and you didn't get to be in the office and you're in jail and you're just off on your own all over the place so now you're gonna the dream team is back as the new promo yeah that's cool it's like they're back but it's also you know it's a little different Jessica leaving I think a big hole in the firm and it sort of puts this guy in the position where he's got to change how he operates and everyone has to kind of change how they do things because Jessica was such an important part of the of the firm's the daily running of the firm and for Mike I think you know he figured out what kind of work he wants to do and then Harvey pulled him in and convinced him that you know this is a place where he can do a little bit of both and this season's really fun to watch Mike you know it's fun to read the script and see the seeds of that Mike that's like oh I guess I help people that's the drug that's the fix he got at the beginning I actually changed a woman's life and and did something great for her and that's kind of means something to him but it's not as meaningful to him in that pilot and it sets the pace of this character that still to this day is reaching to keep changing people's lives as much as he can but he's got to balance it with you know working at a corporate law firm so it feels like we're finally that is coming to an absolute head now that having to choose between those two worlds well on that note suit season 7 premieres Wednesday July 12 on USA and
