00:00Daddy, hey, look, I know you heard I changed my mind about testifying, but just let me
00:14explain.
00:15Billy, my father left when I was very young, and I never respected him.
00:19And even though you've murdered people, I always respected the fact that you were willing
00:23to risk your life for your daughter.
00:27What is this?
00:28The original arrest report on Tina.
00:30He swore he wouldn't do that.
00:31You swore that you would testify against Pellegrini, who's the most brutal mob boss that this
00:38city has ever seen.
00:40Daddy, she's just a kid.
00:42You know where they'll send her.
00:45They will tear her to pieces in there.
00:47She doesn't have to go anywhere if you would just do what you said you would.
00:53I testify I'm a dead man.
00:55That's what I'm talking about, the willingness to risk your life for her.
01:01Gotta go get a bite to eat.
01:03If I don't have word that you're gonna testify by the time I'm done, I will arrest your daughter.
01:15Daddy, I thought we were friends.
01:22We are friends, Billy, which is why I'm risking my life for you.
01:25Now, get back inside before someone...
01:28Hey, what...
01:31You were having a nightmare.
01:33It's two nights in a row.
01:35What's the matter?
01:36I can't stop thinking about that last year in New York.
01:39It's like I don't know when I'm dreaming and when I'm not.
01:43Well, you're not dreaming now.
01:44I don't care if I was.
01:45Stop.
01:46As long as they're up, you want me to make us some breakfast?
01:54That'd be nice.
01:55Maybe something reminding you of the old days.
01:58Maybe that's why you're having bad dreams.
02:00Pancakes.
02:01Come on.
02:08You got me feeling like I'm back home.
02:11Love me like we're still young.
02:13Lady luck don't lead me on.
02:15Can we bring those good times back?
02:24Morning.
02:25Whatever it is, I don't have time.
02:27Lester Thompson's just been arrested for murder.
02:29Cancel my morning and get me that arrest report.
02:32You have the partner's meeting in ten minutes.
02:34You think I don't know that?
02:35I got every partner from M&A to divorce
02:37wanting to know what's going on with the merger,
02:39and Ted hasn't responded yet.
02:40Then what do you want me to do?
02:41Tell the partners I'll know if we're a go or not by tonight.
02:44And get me that crisis manager from last year.
02:46Once the press finds out,
02:47this is gonna be O.J. Simpson all over again.
02:49Already done.
02:50Anything else?
02:51Yeah, call Lester's wife, Valerie.
02:52Tell her to meet me at the bank.
02:54Can we bring those good times back?
03:04So you're the mighty Ted Black.
03:07And you're Warner Brothers' newest action star.
03:10But they can't seem to find their checkbook.
03:12We're just gonna dive right in?
03:14Dylan, I took on the worst mobs in New York.
03:16I beat all of them, and I did it without batting an eye.
03:18If I can do that to them, imagine what I can do for you.
03:21But I need someone with confidence,
03:23and you just seem a little sheepish to me.
03:25Dylan, you play a badass in the movies.
03:27I'm a badass in real life,
03:28and I intend to prove it to you right now.
03:31Are we gonna fight?
03:32We're gonna dance.
03:35What's that?
03:36The new deal I got you from Warner Brothers.
03:38Got me?
03:39You don't represent me.
03:40They're under the impression that I do,
03:41so why don't you take a look at the number?
03:46How did you do this?
03:47That's what I do.
03:48What'd I miss?
03:49Dylan coming to the conclusion that she's our newest client.
03:51Oh.
03:53What happens tomorrow after your merger?
03:55You ever gonna have time for me again?
03:57You told her?
03:58Of course I did.
03:59We're open with our clients.
04:00You taught me that.
04:01If we're so open,
04:02did you tell her that I haven't agreed to the merger yet?
04:03Yes.
04:04But he also told me that you have the attention of a flea,
04:06and to get your word that you won't palm me off on anyone.
04:09One condition.
04:10You sign right now.
04:11Dad, she can't do that.
04:13She has meetings with five other law firms.
04:15I don't care what she has.
04:16This happens now or it doesn't happen.
04:18This isn't how we treat our clients.
04:21Dylan, I can walk away from any deal at any time,
04:24which is where the power in this world comes from.
04:27So, I'm gonna go to my office.
04:30When I get there, if this is signed,
04:32I will kill for you.
04:34For the rest of your life.
04:36If it isn't,
04:38I'll never think about you again.
04:42Wait here.
04:44Ted, you were late.
04:46By 30 seconds, somewhat.
04:47So, it doesn't work if you're not there
04:49when she asks me about the merger.
04:50Okay, I say that with respect.
04:51That was a really nice touch.
04:52Stop me from even putting the contract down.
04:54You don't think that was too much?
04:55I think that she saw you fight for her,
04:57and getting you instead of me
04:59is the best decision she'll ever make.
05:00You got that right.
05:01Exactly.
05:02Wait a minute.
05:03What did you just say?
05:04I just said what you just said.
05:06What did you say?
05:07You know exactly what I said.
05:08I do.
05:13Did you cut the air in the room?
05:14Second-year hand at the door.
05:16You're a machine.
05:17Damn right.
05:19Wow.
05:20I cut my left ball off
05:21if she isn't signing right now.
05:22You're a class act.
05:23You know that?
05:24Did you close Huffman last night?
05:25Of course I did.
05:26It's what I do.
05:27Speaking of which...
05:28No.
05:29Ted, I want...
05:30Erica, we have been over this.
05:31Rick gets the bump.
05:32Rick shines my shoes.
05:33Okay, he's as good a lawyer as you,
05:34and he's a better manager.
05:35I'm better in a room,
05:36and you know it.
05:37And the day that matters,
05:38I will make you head of a department.
05:39If I were a man,
05:40would you be saying the same thing?
05:42How can I possibly know that?
05:44I don't know.
05:45Maybe 30 seconds of self-reflection?
05:46I didn't really see that happening.
05:47I hate to interrupt,
05:49but Dylan Pryor just signed.
05:50And there you have it.
05:51My left ball lives
05:52to fight another day.
05:53Ted, this isn't over, Ted.
05:54Hey, John.
05:55We didn't have anything on the books.
05:56You want me to grab Ted?
05:57No.
05:58Rosalind said he's not to be disturbed.
05:59Besides,
06:00I want to talk to you alone.
06:01Okay.
06:02What can I do for you?
06:03You guys represent Hypnotic, right?
06:04If this is going where I think it is,
06:05that part is 15 years behind us.
06:06I don't know what you're talking about.
06:07I don't know what you're talking about.
06:08I don't know what you're talking about.
06:09I don't know what you're talking about.
06:10I don't know what you're talking about.
06:11I don't know what you're talking about.
06:12You guys represent Hypnotic, right?
06:15If this is going where I think it is,
06:17that part is 15 years younger than you are.
06:19That's why I want you and not Ted.
06:22I need you to get me an audition.
06:24That's not gonna happen.
06:25And may I ask, why not?
06:27First of all, we're lawyers.
06:28We're not agents.
06:29You're telling me you pick up the phone,
06:31I don't get an audition?
06:32You know as well as I do
06:33that Ted thinks once you start begging for work,
06:35you're not gonna get a job again.
06:37Hey, buddy.
06:38I am not begging for anything.
06:40I just want a chance
06:41to show I can still get the job done.
06:46You gotta take it up with Ted.
06:48I can't go behind his back.
06:50Rick, please.
06:51I know he's looking out for me.
06:53And I'm 84.
06:54And I would rather go down swinging
06:58than waiting for the damn phone to ring.
07:02I'll talk to him.
07:03I wanna know why it was you
07:05who came down here and not Ted.
07:06Because I handle criminal defense,
07:08whereas Ted handles your producing deals.
07:09Yeah, I know what Ted does.
07:10He's been my lawyer for 12 years, all right?
07:12Lester, let me explain something to you.
07:14They're saying a lot of very specific things
07:15happened last night.
07:16What?
07:17That I killed my partner in my own backyard?
07:18Why would I do that?
07:19I know.
07:20You were celebrating your big opening.
07:21You started doing ecstasy and shooting into the hills.
07:24Like we've done 50 times before.
07:25And all of a sudden, he shoots himself.
07:27That's what you're saying, right?
07:28I am not saying it.
07:30That is exactly what happened.
07:32There's residue on your hands.
07:34Because we were shooting.
07:35No one's gonna buy that.
07:36Somebody must have seen it.
07:37You live in the middle of nowhere.
07:39You're trying to conjure me a goddamn witness.
07:41Lester, I know that you're scared.
07:45But go with self-defense.
07:47The odds of acquittal are 80%.
07:48I didn't get where I am settling for 80.
07:50So find me a witness.
07:52Because I didn't do this.
08:04Finding a way, as usual, Rick?
08:07I don't just find people, Erica.
08:08I actually do work for them.
08:09I thought the work was signing them.
08:11Not that it's work for me.
08:14Well, I guess we'll see where we both are in 10 years.
08:17I'm more concerned with where we're both gonna be this time next week.
08:20You.
08:21Me.
08:22You being on top of me?
08:23That's a fantasy that's never gonna happen.
08:25We'll see about that, Ricky.
08:32Hey.
08:33There's something else I didn't want to say anything before in front of Erica.
08:37Your father's in hospice.
08:39He has three days to live.
08:40I know.
08:41They've called me six times.
08:42Well, they want you to fly back and spend some time.
08:44Tell him to call me when he's dead.
08:45Dead?
08:48I know what he did.
08:51But if you don't forgive him...
08:52Rosalyn, I don't want to hear it.
08:55And I've got a very big day, so no interruptions.
09:07What are you doing here?
09:10My son gets blown up, you think I'm not gonna come running?
09:13I'm not here to weasel your way back into my life.
09:15Right now, I need to make sure that my witness is still alive.
09:18I'm here to offer you a job.
09:21Let's assume for a second that I would ever forgive you for abandoning us.
09:26I'm not you.
09:27Teddy, you could have died today.
09:29I don't want to lose my son.
09:30Until I graduated law school, you wouldn't have noticed.
09:32I say you went to law school to make me notice!
09:36And I did.
09:38Look, I know you've been putting in your time here, but I will make you a partner on day one.
09:42You can skip right to the front of the line.
09:44Get this through your head.
09:45I wouldn't have kids and then decide to trade up.
09:48I don't sell my soul defending criminals.
09:50And I don't want you to skip to the front of the goddamn line.
10:00You're right.
10:01I shouldn't have left you to your mother.
10:03Made you weak.
10:04Ted.
10:06Ted, got a minute?
10:08It's kind of important.
10:10Um, this is about the promotion I told you not before we merged.
10:13And I told you that I've given my life to this firm.
10:15And you want to be the fastest ever to be head of entertainment.
10:17I know.
10:18You say that like it's a weight around your neck instead of me earning it.
10:21This isn't about timing.
10:22You're scared of Erica.
10:24Should I be?
10:25I told you that she's better in the room than you are,
10:27but I also told you that's not what being the head of entertainment is about now.
10:31Do you trust me or not?
10:33I do.
10:34But things you said would happen haven't happened yet.
10:36Not everybody gets the toy that they want for their birthday.
10:38This isn't a toy.
10:39I earned it.
10:40You do not get to skip to the front of the goddamn line.
10:47John Amos was in here before.
10:49I told him if you wouldn't get him an audition, I would.
10:56Stewart wants to see you.
10:57About the merger.
10:58I know.
10:59It's decision day.
11:00I take it you also know that John Amos is waiting on a call from you.
11:03Tell him that I'm up to my eyeballs.
11:04He's been with us since the beginning.
11:06He'll understand.
11:08Anything else?
11:09Yes.
11:11Take it easy on Rick.
11:18Stewart!
11:20I haven't seen you all week.
11:21Well, it's a big decision.
11:22I know you don't like to be rushed.
11:24Didn't stop me from waiting till the last minute, though, did it?
11:26I had a mild stroke about an hour ago, but I don't really use my left hand anymore, so...
11:32What are you gonna do?
11:33I'm all in on the merger.
11:34You sure?
11:35Yes.
11:36And I want you to know why.
11:37Come on, Ted.
11:38You don't have to.
11:39We went at it pretty hard at the beginning of the negotiation,
11:41and I said some crappy things about criminal defense.
11:44This is how I want to make it up to you.
11:46Hey.
11:47You apologized.
11:48Something you rarely do, so when you do do it, it means everything.
11:52Stewart, you said doo-doo.
11:53Did I?
11:55What I meant to say is we're about to be the largest firm in the city.
11:58You got that right.
12:00You ready to sign this bad boy?
12:03You know what I just realized today is?
12:05Of course.
12:06It's 15 years to the day since I came out here and moved in with you.
12:09And 12 years since we started this whole thing together.
12:11Well, enjoy the quiet, my friend, because in two weeks,
12:14Samantha's entire firm is moving in.
12:17Hey, what do you say we go out and celebrate this thing tonight?
12:22Waldorf at 8.
12:23Done.
12:24Put the reservation under your name?
12:26Yeah.
12:27Pet Idiot?
12:28Stu Pet Idiot?
12:41Hi, Rick.
12:44Do you see what I'm doing?
12:45Is it something I could help you with?
12:47Because that's actually why I'm here.
12:48Leah, fancy football.
12:50It's the one thing I do for myself.
12:52I spend exactly 15 minutes a week on it.
12:54Now is that time.
12:56And you should know this because there's a huge sign on the door that says it.
12:59The sign says, knock, I'm available?
13:02Henderson is such a douche.
13:03Should I come back or...
13:05Never gonna make the playoffs anyway.
13:06Sorry.
13:08What's up?
13:09I'd like to work for you.
13:11And before you ask, it's not because you're getting the promotion.
13:13I just think that your leadership style is...
13:15Yeah, I'm gonna have to stop you right there.
13:17Okay.
13:18You work with Erica?
13:19I work for Erica.
13:20But she has no interest in teaching and she takes me for granted.
13:23I get it.
13:24Erica is personality challenged, shall we say.
13:28Right?
13:29But I'm not stealing you.
13:30If you have a problem with her, the place to go is to her.
13:32She won't listen.
13:33Maybe she won't.
13:34But making people listen when they don't want to, that's part of being a lawyer.
13:37And if you can't have a difficult conversation with your own team,
13:40how are you gonna have one with an adversary?
13:44So, no?
13:45No.
13:48Do me a favor?
13:49Can you take that sign down and give it to Anderson, please?
13:51Yeah.
14:00Are you kidding me?
14:01Right now?
14:02Lester?
14:03I am not putting my life in that man's hands.
14:05You are taking my case.
14:06I don't want to hear another word about it.
14:08You think because he wants you to plead self-defense, he thinks you did it.
14:11I don't think anything, Ted.
14:13I know it.
14:14It's like I know if I admit pulling that trigger, they're gonna bite with self-defense.
14:16Lester, I am wired to put people in prison.
14:19I hate the idea of getting them out.
14:21Please, Ted.
14:22Come on, man.
14:23I am begging you.
14:24Stuart lives for this.
14:25He is the man for the job.
14:26I cannot go with someone who doesn't believe me.
14:28Listen to me.
14:30Stuart Lane is the best defense attorney in the country.
14:34Now, do you trust me or not?
14:37All right, Ted.
14:40I trust you.
14:49What do you mean?
14:51What do you mean?
14:52I came up with it.
14:53It was your idea.
14:54You're the one who sent the pictures to the paper.
14:56I didn't say that I wasn't involved.
15:01Oh, no.
15:02No, no, no, no, no.
15:03It's Clooney.
15:04He's getting him to leave.
15:05I don't believe it.
15:06You never apologized to him.
15:07Discuss it later.
15:08Is he gone?
15:09Wait a second.
15:10He just dropped a billion dollars.
15:11It's taking a minute to pick up.
15:13Is he gone?
15:14Wait a second.
15:16He's starting another non-profit.
15:19Ha, ha, ha.
15:22Stuart, this was really fun.
15:25I needed it.
15:28I gotta swing back by the office.
15:30Oh, come on, Ted.
15:31We haven't done this in forever.
15:33Let's go to Jones.
15:34One drink at the old hangout.
15:35It depends.
15:37How much money you got?
15:38Tens of dollars.
15:40Come on.
15:41Yeah.
15:43Yes.
15:45Yes.
15:46Check.
15:49Oh, man.
15:50Clooney's back.
15:56It's good to see you, Eddie.
15:58Come on.
15:59I'll help.
16:00Are you drunk?
16:01Very.
16:02I haven't had fun with Stuart in a really long time.
16:07Were you celebrating?
16:08I wanted to go out and take my mind off that last year in New York,
16:13but I can't stop thinking about it.
16:16I miss Samantha, the way she was.
16:20And Kevin.
16:22Why, do you miss New York?
16:24I'm sorry I didn't call, Eddie.
16:26I should have called.
16:32Ted, what happened?
16:33Are you all right?
16:34I'm fine.
16:35It's nothing.
16:36It doesn't look like nothing.
16:37Samantha, I was near an explosion, but it looks a lot worse than it is.
16:40I'm fine, and I'm still coming to your class thing tonight.
16:43I don't care about that right now.
16:45You don't?
16:46I think you do.
16:48Let me talk to Kevin.
16:49I'll see you tonight.
16:50Okay.
16:51Okay.
16:57Listen, we gotta talk about how to handle it if Billy doesn't make it.
17:00Handle what?
17:01I stuck my neck out for this case, and if Billy doesn't make it,
17:05I might as well break up with Samantha and become a D.A. in Scranton.
17:10What?
17:11Nothing.
17:13I'm from Scranton.
17:14Well, I'm sorry.
17:15I don't mean to crap on where you're from.
17:16Well, thanks.
17:17Because you know I do have hometown pride.
17:19No, you shouldn't.
17:20Scranton's a suck-hole.
17:21You're a suck-hole.
17:23Mr. Black?
17:25I'm afraid the shock was too much for him.
17:27Billy didn't make it.
17:30All right, look, Teddy.
17:31Would you shut up?
17:32I need to think.
17:33About what?
17:34He's dead.
17:35Look, the case is already gone.
17:36How many people know he's dead?
17:37Three of us.
17:38Two nurses in the room.
17:39But what does that have to do with...
17:40I need you to get in there and act like he's still fighting.
17:43What?
17:44I can't do that.
17:45Listen to me.
17:47I spent a year of my life trying to put away the man
17:49who murdered the patient you just lost.
17:52If you don't get back in there,
17:53there's gonna be a hundred more just like him.
17:58You have one day.
18:00All right.
18:01What the hell did you just do?
18:02Didn't you keep the agency ready?
18:04This is a career-ending move if it doesn't land you in prison.
18:07I'm not gonna have Billy die for nothing.
18:09Well, you better think of a Hall of Fame move.
18:12Because in 24 hours, I am not losing this case.
18:28Ted?
18:29What's going on?
18:30You better get in here.
18:31The entire 25th floor is gone.
18:38It was Stuart, wasn't it?
18:40He couldn't have seen it coming.
18:42Who did we lose?
18:43Every senior member of every department
18:45except sports and entertainment.
18:46Look, Ted, give me a minute to think.
18:48What is there to think about?
18:49We need to file an injunction.
18:50If we do that, the entire town will know we're weak.
18:52We will be dead in a year.
18:53And if we can't stop the bleeding,
18:54we'll be dead in a month.
18:55I'm not losing my firm.
19:01Okay.
19:02Who left whose clients we absolutely cannot afford to lose?
19:05Easy.
19:06Lithvac, Johnson, and Riley.
19:08Okay.
19:09I want signed contracts from every client
19:11by the end of the day.
19:12And you call Erica,
19:13tell her to get in here,
19:14and start helping.
19:16Where are you going?
19:17To get Lithvac, Johnson, and Riley back
19:19before the entire town knows they're gone.
19:21Amanda, what are you doing here?
19:22I thought you left with Stuart.
19:24Stuart left.
19:26Bon Voyage Stuart.
19:27I'm sorry.
19:28Do you work here?
19:29Because I don't know who you are.
19:30Amanda Stevens.
19:31I've been handling pro bono for the past two years.
19:35Rick will catch you up.
19:36Today, you're helping us close clients.
19:37Sorry. Can't do it.
19:38You'll do it, or I will fire you on the spot.
19:40Easy, tiger.
19:42Here's the thing.
19:43I run an office here
19:44so that I can have a nice address,
19:46and you can pretend
19:47you actually serve your community.
19:49I don't actually work for you,
19:50so you can't fire me.
19:55I will give you $100,000.
19:57I don't need your money.
19:58Everyone needs money.
19:59They do,
20:00but my family owns half of the apartments
20:01on the west side,
20:02so I happen to be worth
20:03an ungodly amount of money
20:04between us.
20:05Between us.
20:07You don't dress like it.
20:09I think we're done here.
20:11What?
20:12I love you.
20:16Son of a bitch.
20:17You set me up to get me out of the office.
20:19Now you know what it felt like
20:20last year when you hung me out to dry.
20:21Hung you?
20:22I have been bringing you along
20:23for the ride
20:24for ten years.
20:25You said you were a lion,
20:27and I was a flea
20:28in front of everyone.
20:29It was a negotiating tactic
20:30to get more...
20:31This firm would be nothing without me!
20:34We started with two pillars,
20:35entertainment, law,
20:36and criminal defense,
20:37and everything else
20:38came from there.
20:39But you think
20:40it all comes from you
20:41because you don't
20:42respect what I do.
20:45Well, we'll see who's
20:46more important
20:47because you signed an agreement
20:48giving me the right
20:49to take everyone with me.
20:50I'm gonna tie you up
20:51in court for years.
20:52Yeah, if you were gonna sue,
20:53you'd be here with papers
20:54right now.
20:55What is it you really want?
20:56Litvak, Johnson, and Riley.
20:57Hell no.
20:58Stuart.
20:59You know what I think
21:00of Litvak, Johnson, and Riley?
21:01If they ever left
21:02and started their own firm,
21:03it'd be called Lazy Factory.
21:04I know I'm stupid.
21:05If I could fire them today,
21:06I would,
21:07but I need their clients.
21:08Those were your words
21:09six months ago.
21:10Well, now,
21:11I need their clients,
21:12so go ahead.
21:13Sue.
21:15But I know the real reason
21:16you left New York.
21:17And if you sue,
21:18the whole thing comes out.
21:19Now get out of my face.
21:20I got work to do.
21:26You know what I think
21:27of Litvak, Johnson, and Riley?
21:28If they ever left
21:29and started their own firm,
21:30it'd be called Lazy Factory.
21:31You know what I think
21:32of Litvak, Johnson, and Riley?
21:33I know I'm stupid.
21:34If I could fire them today,
21:35I would,
21:36but I need their clients.
21:37Ted,
21:38I don't know what to say.
21:39You don't need
21:40to say anything.
21:41Get Johnson and Riley
21:42to the clients on board
21:43and sign papers with us
21:44by the end of the day.
21:45Okay.
21:50Leah,
21:51give me Angela Perkins
21:52in two minutes.
21:53Tell her it's important.
21:54Look who put
21:55his big boy pants on.
21:56I have a proposition
21:57for you.
21:58I need someone
21:59on the inside
22:00to feed me information
22:01for six months,
22:02then I name you
22:03head of entertainment.
22:04Who says I won't be
22:05head of entertainment
22:06over here?
22:07That voice inside you
22:08that knows Ted
22:09will never promote you
22:10over Rick.
22:11But what you can't do
22:12right now
22:13is panic.
22:14Ted has been loyal
22:15to you for ten years.
22:16You can't just...
22:17Damn it.
22:18What can I do
22:19for you, Erica?
22:20I came to say
22:21you should back out
22:22of the fight
22:23for head of entertainment.
22:24It gives us
22:25the best shot
22:26at working together
22:27after I get it.
22:28Get the hell
22:29out of my office.
22:30I can't talk about it now
22:31because there was an earthquake
22:32that happened here
22:33this morning
22:34and Ted doesn't need
22:35long-term thinkers anymore.
22:36He needs
22:37first responders.
22:38Oh, you want to have it out?
22:39You bet your ass I do.
22:40All right, strap in.
22:41So you think
22:42you're in a fight
22:43between your skills
22:44and mine,
22:45but the fight
22:46is between
22:47what's in your heart
22:48and mine
22:49and you don't
22:50stand a chance.
22:51I have as much
22:52passion in my pinky
22:53as you do
22:54in your entire body.
22:55Yeah, for yourself.
22:56I want to let you
22:57in on a little secret.
22:58Most people know
23:00that if they figure that out
23:01you're nothing.
23:04You will never
23:05be him, Rick.
23:09You don't have
23:10what it takes
23:11and this whole damn
23:12office knows it.
23:18They'll never trust you
23:21and you know it.
23:30Where have you
23:31been all morning?
23:32Locking down my clients.
23:33Good.
23:34Now I need you
23:35to lock down
23:36everyone else's.
23:37Come again?
23:38I don't care
23:39if you step on toes.
23:40I need you to lock down
23:41as many clients
23:42as you can
23:43whether they're
23:44yours or not.
23:45Even Rick's?
23:46Even Rick's.
23:47Hmm.
23:48What's on your mind, Erica?
23:49You know what's
23:50on my mind.
23:51How many times
23:52do I have to tell you this?
23:53I promised the job
23:54to Rick.
23:55You mean the man
23:56whose clients
23:57you just asked me
23:58to shore up?
23:59I work every morning
24:00and because of that
24:01we still have a firm.
24:02Meanwhile,
24:03your primary concern
24:04seems to be leveraging
24:05me into a promotion.
24:06Don't give me that
24:07because you would do
24:08the same thing
24:09and you know it.
24:10So what's it gonna be?
24:11Yes or no?
24:12No.
24:13In one of these days
24:14I promise you
24:15will learn that
24:16closing clients
24:17isn't everything.
24:23I don't care
24:24what happened.
24:25I just wasted
24:26two hours waiting
24:27for your ADA
24:28You did have a thing.
24:30Did you think
24:31I was just being cute?
24:32No.
24:33I think that you
24:34enjoyed saying no to me.
24:35What can I say?
24:36Watching a man
24:37like you realize
24:38that you have nothing
24:39I need does come
24:40with a certain
24:41deep satisfaction.
24:42May I ask you something?
24:44What sort of cases
24:45do you primarily handle?
24:46Mostly criminal defense.
24:48How do you do it?
24:50How do you live
24:51with yourself
24:52knowing that
24:53whoever it is
24:54is guilty
24:55of whatever
24:56they're accused of doing?
24:57Because everyone
24:58deserves someone
24:59to fight for them.
25:00Even some kid
25:01who broke into a house
25:02because he doesn't
25:03know any other way.
25:04I've heard
25:05what's going on
25:06between you and Stewart
25:07and I know
25:08what you're thinking
25:09of doing.
25:10Once you do it
25:11there's no going back.
25:12Any other
25:13unsolicited pieces
25:14of advice?
25:15Sure.
25:20I dress
25:21this way
25:23so no one
25:24sees me coming.
25:25Outside of work,
25:26however,
25:28it's another story.
25:29Do I need to tell HR
25:30about this conversation?
25:31You would
25:32except you keep
25:33forgetting
25:34I don't work for you.
25:41She doesn't work
25:42for me.
25:45I don't know
25:46how you did it
25:47but let back
25:48Johnson and Riley
25:49are back in the fold
25:50and grateful as hell.
25:51Rick, about yesterday
25:52I shouldn't have
25:53spoken to you
25:55that way.
25:57I was out of line.
26:00We good?
26:01We're good.
26:02Good.
26:03Because I had
26:04made a decision.
26:05You're making
26:06Eric and me co-heads
26:07of entertainment.
26:08How'd you know?
26:09Because if I were you
26:10I'd do the same thing.
26:11In that case
26:12what else would you do
26:13if you were me?
26:14I would get familiar
26:15with Liv Vax's clients
26:16because as soon as
26:17we lock them down
26:18you're letting him go.
26:19On his lazy
26:20stupid ass.
26:25I haven't told Erica
26:26about the promotion yet
26:27I was waiting to
26:28let you wrap your head
26:29around it.
26:32Hey, you think about
26:33John Amos?
26:34How could I not?
26:35He called me three times
26:36today.
26:37Let's call him
26:38tomorrow morning
26:39together.
26:48I want to do more.
26:49Excuse me?
26:50You have me set up
26:51the meetings
26:52and do the work
26:53with the clients
26:54without a lawyer
26:55which I am.
26:56Leah
26:58today
26:59is not the day.
27:00Erica
27:01I'm tired of
27:02making you look good
27:03so either put me up
27:04for senior associate
27:05or I'll find
27:06someone here who will.
27:08Close the door.
27:10Why?
27:11Because I am
27:12willing to go to bat
27:13for you
27:14but I need you to
27:15understand why
27:16I can't do it
27:17for another six months.
27:24Why are you
27:25making the most
27:26of your situation?
27:27Can't leave the city
27:28don't want to work
27:29with me but
27:30at least I have this.
27:31I need you to
27:32drop Stewart
27:33and hire me.
27:35You kidding me?
27:36I begged you
27:38to take my case
27:39and you said you
27:40hated the idea
27:41of keeping people
27:42out of prison.
27:43And you said
27:44Stewart Lane lives
27:45for this
27:46he's the better
27:47man for the job
27:48you said he was
27:49the best criminal
27:50defense attorney
27:51in the country.
27:52Did you believe me?
27:53I think I'm
27:54better than him
27:55and if you did
27:56then I can
27:57convince anyone
27:58of anything
27:59because there is
28:00nothing
28:01in this world
28:02Stewart Lane
28:03is better at
28:04than me.
28:05Lester
28:06he doesn't
28:07believe you.
28:09I do.
28:10And you
28:11said it yourself
28:12if you admit
28:13that you shot
28:14Simon
28:15they will
28:16never buy
28:17self defense.
28:18Look man
28:19I want to go
28:20with you
28:21I do
28:22It's the fourth
28:23quarter
28:24you need to
28:25touch down
28:26you can go with
28:27Kirk Cousins
28:28or Patrick Mahomes
28:29who's it going to be?
28:36You ever
28:37going to call
28:38John Amos back?
28:39I told Rick
28:40that we would
28:41call him tomorrow
28:42morning together
28:43may I go to
28:44my office?
28:45Yes
28:46but Leah Power
28:47is in there
28:48Who's Leah Power?
28:49She works for
28:50Erica
28:51Leah
28:52You
28:53know who I am?
28:54Of course I do
28:55but I've had
28:56a very long day so
28:57I have
28:58information that
28:59in the current
29:00environment
29:01I think
29:02We don't want for it
29:03I want to be
29:04a senior associate
29:05Well then
29:06it better be good
29:07Erica's secretly
29:08working for Stewart
29:17Get out
29:18of my office
29:19This is my
29:21office
29:22I'll sit down
29:23I beg your pardon?
29:24You think if I
29:25was going to leave
29:26I'd trust anyone
29:27with that information
29:28let alone Leah?
29:29You set her up
29:30No, I don't believe you
29:31Why would you do that?
29:32To find out if I could
29:33trust her
29:34and if you trust me
29:35Or you're playing
29:36both ways until you
29:37find out which way
29:38the wind is blowing
29:39Erica
29:40I've been busting
29:41my ass for you
29:42when you don't
29:43even see it
29:44and I haven't
29:45gone to Stewart
29:46but I should
29:47and in case
29:48it hasn't
29:49sunk in for you yet
29:50I'm going to break
29:59Ted
30:00I know this isn't
30:01going to be easy for you
30:05It's not because
30:06of Erica's promotion
30:09When I said
30:10you were going to
30:11fire Greg Litvak
30:12you got a look of glee
30:16The man left
30:17to provide for his family
30:18not to screw you
30:19The bra that broke
30:20the back
30:21Lester
30:24You're taking on
30:25something you despise
30:26just to save your firm
30:31I used to think
30:32I wanted to be
30:33I don't anymore
30:34and I have to leave
30:35before I forget that
30:37This is what
30:38I was afraid of
30:41Listen
30:42John
30:43I know that you spoke
30:44to Rick about the audition
30:45I can still make that happen
30:46You think I'm here
30:47about that?
30:48I thought this would
30:49happen after
30:50After what?
30:51Rosalind told you
30:52Didn't she?
30:53Of course she did
30:54She knows you're
30:55off your game
30:56because your father's dying
30:57I'm not off anything
30:58Ted
30:59What's done is done
31:00You need to see
31:01your father
31:02and forgive him
31:03What I need to do
31:04is get my game face
31:05on and destroy
31:06these mother...
31:07Do I need to
31:08spell it out for you?
31:09You created the
31:10dynamic you had
31:11with your father
31:12at work
31:13You did it
31:14with Stewart
31:15You did it
31:16with Rick
31:17You're taking
31:18even one acting class
31:20You think you know me
31:21because you took
31:22a few acting classes
31:23I took 84 years
31:24of life
31:25sonny boy
31:27and you don't make it right
31:28He does not get
31:29to be forgiven
31:30You're not doing it
31:31for him
31:32You're doing it
31:33for yourself
31:44I was wondering
31:45how long it would
31:47Samantha
31:49My father's dying
31:53Wait let me get this
31:54straight
31:55You told Leah
31:56you were leaving
31:57to test Ted
31:58I know you value
31:59honesty but
32:00Oh sweet Jesus
32:01You really are
32:02smarter than all of them
32:03I might be smarter
32:04than them
32:05but I am
32:06not wiser than you
32:07Oh you want to know
32:08which horse
32:09I think you should
32:10Of course I do
32:11that's why I'm here
32:12You're not here
32:13for that
32:14You are here
32:15for me to remind you
32:16that you are
32:17Rawlins
32:18You have worked
32:19harder to get
32:20where you are
32:21than anyone else
32:22and you don't owe
32:23either one of these
32:24two a damn thing
32:30Tell me one thing
32:32Was it your idea
32:33to cut me out
32:34of the new firm
32:35or was it Stewart's
32:36His
32:37He's been gunning
32:38for you since you
32:39called him a flea
32:40in the negotiations
32:41I mean what did
32:42you think he was
32:43going to do
32:44once you signed
32:45I understand
32:46in my heart
32:47we're brothers
32:48and you don't
32:49betray your brother
32:50You can't just
32:51treat people
32:52how you do
32:53and think they'll
32:54see deep down
32:55you're this noble
32:56creature
32:57You do
33:03Not enough
33:04to jeopardize
33:05my firm
33:08I'm going to
33:09come after you
33:10with everything
33:11I've got
33:12Then come
33:13and get it
33:15This is about
33:16New York
33:17No Ted
33:18It's about you
33:19because what your
33:20father did
33:21it broke you
33:22and given that
33:23you're here
33:24instead of on a plane
33:25you still don't
33:26seem like you
33:27want to fix it
33:33Okay
33:34I'm here
33:35It's late
33:36What is it
33:37I want to know
33:38why you stuck with
33:39me instead of
33:40going with Stewart
33:41The main reason
33:42about a month
33:43into my time here
33:44I overheard
33:45a conversation
33:46between you and
33:47Stewart
33:48He wanted to
33:49only give me
33:50diverse clients
33:51but you said
33:52well if I knew
33:53she could only
33:54close people of
33:55color
33:56I never would
33:57have hired her
33:58Throw her in
33:59the deep end
34:00she sinks
34:01or swims
34:02But then
34:03you said
34:04Lay a hundred
34:05to water
34:06This one swims
34:07No
34:08I don't
34:09want to
34:11And I do it
34:12seven days a week
34:15Twice on Sunday
34:17You have
34:18a lot of flaws
34:20Ted
34:24But you see me
34:25for who I am
34:26Good
34:28Because
34:30starting Monday
34:31you're the new head
34:32of entertainment
34:33You think it was
34:34going to be that easy
34:35I was hoping
34:36You were dreaming
34:37Okay well then
34:38let's get to it
34:39because I have
34:40I don't just want
34:41a title
34:42I want to be partner
34:43That's a lot to ask
34:44You're about to
34:45have your hands
34:46full with a murder
34:47case which means
34:48you need me to
34:49take all of your
34:50clients so
34:51I don't think
34:52that's much
34:53to ask at all
34:54Partner it is
34:55I have another
34:56question
34:57If you could
34:58still have Rick
34:59here instead
35:00of me
35:01Would you
35:02I would
35:04Then I guess
35:05I'll have to
35:06change your mind
35:08You said the story
35:09about the reason
35:10you stayed
35:11What was the other one
35:12Someone
35:13once said that
35:14sometimes you have
35:15to pick a side
35:16before you know
35:17who's going to win
35:18and if I'm picking
35:19between you
35:20and Stuart Blaine
35:22I'm picking you
35:23Ted
35:257 days a week
35:26and
35:27twice on Sunday
