Previously on "Suits"...

I've been after Sutter for three years now.

This guy's one slippery son of a bitch.

Wait a second, William Sutter?

He came to me a week ago to take him on.

You cross one line that puts me in jeopardy, I'm gonna pull the plug on this whole thing.

I need a large, expensive home in the Hamptons.

Why are you buying a vacation home?

Because I told Tara Messer that I have a property out there, and I hired her to remodel it for me.

Damn it, Harvey, I'm not colluding on this, and you're in here trying to get me to bring an indictment against your own client.

Because when you bring that indictment, I'm gonna b*at it, and if you don't bring it, and continue investigating my client, I'm gonna sue you.

I think it's pretty g*dd*mn funny that you don't trust me, when you're the one that won't even tell me what you're in here for.

Okay. I'll do it.

Excuse me?

Your pro Bono.

Bring me the file tomorrow morning.

It was a good fix, Sean.

It was a good move, Harvey.

Want to get a drink?

Why don't we just have one here?

Why? As of right now, you have no action pending against my client.

But as of tomorrow, I do, 'cause those indictments are coming down in the morning.

Kevin, what did you do?

I got in a fight with my wife.

I got drunk. I got into my car, and I almost k*lled someone.

I'm missing 1,000 chances to hug my kids in the morning and kiss my wife good night, all because I couldn't control myself.

What were you fighting with your wife about?

I can't. I just can't.

[door buzzes]

Harvey. What are you doing here?

Mike, sit down. I need to tell you something.

What's going on?

I'm working on getting you out of here.

Yeah, I know you are.

I'm not talking about what we're doing for Cahill.

I'm talking about something else.

Harvey, we're in a room full of people.

You can't be talking about Cahill.

If Kevin finds out--

It doesn't matter if Kevin finds out now.

He's done.

What do you mean, "He's done?"

I mean Rachel's dead... and Kevin k*lled her.

[tense music]

What?

It's true.

You son of a bitch.

You're lying to me.

g*dd*mn it. He told you he did it.

Bullshit.

He got drunk.

He got in a car.

He m*rder*d the woman you love.

Stop saying that.

And now you're going to be stuck in here with him for the rest of your life.

Stop it. Kevin would never do that to me.

Mike, wake up.

No.

Mike.

No.

Wake up. Wake up.

No!

Mike, wake up.

No, no, no, no, no.

Mike, wake up.

[heavy breathing]

Hey, you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

You sure?

'Cause that was some dream you were having.

I'm fine.

Just going back to sleep.

[elevator dings]

Harvey, good, there you are.

What's going on?

Sutter just called.

Let me guess, the indictments came down?

He wants you in his office an hour ago.

I'll tell him you're on your way.

No. Tell him you couldn't reach me.

You want him to start sweating, but why?

Because when people start sweating, they start talking to their lawyer.

I'll tell Ray to be on hold.

No, tell him to pull around.

But you just said you weren't going to Sutter's.

I'm not. I'm going somewhere else.

♪ ♪

Oh, look who it is, the man of the hour.

Did you get my indictments?

I sure as hell did.

Now that the party's started, why don't you tell me what Kevin Miller knows?

What are you talking about?

You went after the guy to try to get him to flip on Sutter, so what'd you think he was gonna give you?

I'm not gonna tell you that.

Why not?

Because I told you when I started this thing, I'm not gonna collude.

We're not colluding.

It's called discovery.

So why don't you tell me what the hell Kevin Miller knows?

He developed the trading programs that Sutter claims to use to get his superior returns.

Then that program's got to be full of sh*t, because if it isn't--

Then Sutter's not inside trading, which he sure as sh*t is.

So you're looking to have Kevin testify that software is bullshit, and Sutter knows it.

Bingo.

Then let me ask you this, what exactly did you put Kevin away for?

And why do you need to know that?

Because it might help us figure out what his weak spot is.

We got him on vehicular as*ault while driving under the influence.

Are you kidding me?

Why didn't you think to tell us that?

Why would I?

Mike's parents were k*lled by a drunk driver.

And how the hell was I supposed to know that?

I don't know.

It would have been nice to know what this assh*le did, before we sent Mike back into a cell with him.

♪ ♪

Hey, what happened to you this morning?

What do you mean?

You skipped breakfast.

I wasn't hungry.

That all it was?

What are you talking about?

Come on, Mike, you had a nightmare last night.

You've been avoiding me all morning, and you're acting weird right now--what's going on?

Nothing's going on.

Then why the hell were you in a cold sweat, muttering something about someone not finding out, and then calling out my name?

♪ ♪

All right, Kevin, you want to know what's going on?

I had a dream that you k*lled Rachel in a car accident.

That's probably why I don't particularly feel like hanging out with you this morning.

Because of what you told me about your parents, Mike, I'm really sorry.

Are you?

What--what's that supposed to mean?

I mean, last night you told me you almost k*lled someone.

Are you sorry about that?

You got to be kidding me.

You have a dream, and now you're questioning if I feel bad about what I did that night?

You still haven't answered whether or not you do.

You know what? You need to be pissed off at me to deal with your sh*t, you go right ahead.

But I feel horrible about what happened that night, and for your information, the guy that I hit is fully recovered right now, and I'm still in here paying for this sh*t.

Break out the champagne, Louis.

That house in the Hamptons is gonna be yours in 60 to 90 days.

They accepted my offer?

That they did.

Well, then I have something much better than champagne...

Wood.

I don't really see how that's better than champagne.

Of course you don't.

Because you don't know that I'm having a replica of my house made for Tara, so she can see her designs come to life.

Louis, that's actually really sweet.

I know.

Now, all I need to do is pick the perfect wood.

I don't follow.

Donna, the kind of wood you get says everything you need to know about what kind of man you are.

How hard or soft it is.

How much it bends when you're working it.

How firm it is compared--

I got the picture, Louis.

No, I don't think you do.

Making Tara love my wood is the first step toward making her love me.

Okay, Louis, calm down.

No.

I don't really want to calm down, because all I can think about my wood.

So tell me, exactly how many different kinds of wood have you sampled in your day?

All of them.

Mahogany, chestnut, walnut, all the nuts.

Ebony?

Don't even get me started on ebony.

When I see ebony, all I want to do is put my hands all over it.

Oh, God.

I want to live in it.

I want to smack it and hit it, rub it down.

I just want to eat it.

What's so funny?

Nothing.

Um... I just think that a man needs to follow his heart and choose the wood that just feels right.

Feels right.

Yeah.

That's it.

Donna...

I need you to help me feel my wood.

Oh, dear God.

[playful music]

God damn it, Julie, call his office again, and this time tell him to find--

If you're talking about my office, there's no need.

I'm right here.

What the hell took you so long?

I was unavailable.

Well, I just got indicted, so from now on you make yourself available.

I get it.

This all just got real for you, so why don't you tell me right now, how real is the rest of it?

What are you saying?

I'm saying, Cahill claims that you can't make the returns you do.

You say you can, and I want to know how you do it.

We use a proprietary trading algorithm.

Developed by who?

My son-in-law.

Good, then we can give it to Cahill, 'cause he just subpoenaed it.

No, we can't.

Why the hell not?

Because the trades on which I make the most money have nothing to do with that program.

Are you kidding me?

You're admitting to inside trading?

I'm not admitting to anything, except that sometimes I trade with my gut.

Well, I got news for you, William.

To a jury, that's gonna sound like you're full of sh*t.

Okay, smart guy, pick up that journal.

Give me a stock.

NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange, I don't give a sh*t.

Just pick one.

All right, Computech.

Computech.

1.59 billion shares outstanding.

Yesterday's close, 32, flat.

Today's opening, 33 1/4.

P/E's at 17.

Earnings expected to grow at 2% a year.

What it doesn't say in there, is that the earnings aren't gonna grow, because the CEO doesn't give a sh*t, which makes it a value trap dressed up like a princess, and I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.

That's a pretty neat trick, William, but it isn't gonna stop this subpoena.

It's not a trick. It's what I do.

What you're gonna do, is stop that son of a bitch from getting his hands on my program.

Rachel, whatever it is, it's going to have to wait.

Okay, but you told me to bring you everything I have on the Bailey case this morning.

Great. Leave it on my desk and I'll get to it sometime this week.

Oh, I'm sorry, Jessica, I was really hoping that we could go over it today.

I was hoping to be out the door by now.

Look, I know that I said this wouldn't take up too much of your time, but--

Rachel, I said I would do this, and I will, but you just have to be patient.

I understand.

It's just, Leonard Bailey's been patient for 12 years.

And I have sympathy for the man, but today's not the day.

[dramatic music]

[indistinct chatter]

Don't bother with another menu. I'll just have a Cobb salad.

What do you think you're doing?

What does it look like I'm doing?

I'm having lunch with a client to discuss his investment business.

You don't represent my investment business.

Which is exactly why we need to have lunch.

No, we don't need to have anything, 'cause the deal was Harvey gets me cleared of criminal charges, then you get the rest of my business.

I don't care what the deal was, William.

I care what the deal is.

Because now that that indictment's come down, Harvey is going to be spending all of his time on you.

That's not my problem.

I'm making it your problem.

We get all of your business, or we handle none of it.

Bullshit.

You quit, you lose billables you can't afford to lose.

We quit, and it looks like we realized your case was a loser and wanted distance from it, which you can't afford.

You really want to start a business relationship this way?

I don't give a sh*t how it starts, William.

I give a sh*t how it looks.

Oh, that's why you did this here.

You want it to look like you already represent my firm.

Well, look at that.

Looks like I'm worth hiring after all.

So are we actually going to talk business, or am I just gonna bill you for the pleasure of my company?

[dramatic music]

Mike, what can I do for you?

You can tell me if you do straight-up therapy or not.

What's on your mind?

You didn't answer my question.

I didn't think I needed to, since we've been doing straight-up therapy since you got here.

So, you want to tell me what you're here for?

My parents were k*lled by a drunk driver when I was 11, and yesterday I found out that Kevin almost k*lled someone drunk driving.

So I need you to help me act normal around him, so that I can get what I need, so I can get out of here.

Oh, well, that's gonna be a problem.

Because the goal of therapy is not to act normal, it's to be normal.

Yeah, well, I'll be normal when I'm home with the woman I love instead of dreaming that the guy I'm sharing a cell with k*lled her.

What?

I had a dream last night that I didn't have to inform on Kevin anymore, because he k*lled Rachel in an accident.

And I must have been talking about it in my sleep, because he asked me about it today, so I told him the accident part, and then we got in a fight.

Fight about what?

I asked him if he even felt bad about the guy he hit.

So you turned it back on him?

What is that even supposed to mean?

It means that I think you picked a fight with Kevin because you didn't want to think about why you had that dream.

I know why I had the dream.

It's because he almost k*lled someone the same way my parents were k*lled.

No, you had the dream, because you don't want to deal with what you're doing to your friend.

Oh, this again.

Yes, this again.

Mike, why do you think part of the dream was finding out that you didn't have to inform on him anymore?

God damn it, I did not come here to second guess my decision.

Do you know what? I don't care.

Because I wouldn't be doing my job, if I didn't inform you that actions have consequences, and you seem to think that the only consequence of what you're doing is getting out of here early, but it's not.

I think you don't know sh*t about what I've been through.

It's a mistake coming to you for help.

And this is the fifth bedroom, and I'm completely open to you knocking down walls or removing windows, by the way.

No, I love the windows.

They let in so much light.

I agree.

We should add a wall of glass.

What do I think the place is beautiful, and I appreciate you bringing these photos over, but when can we go see it in person?

In person?

Yes, of course.

I need to see the space before I can start drafting anything.

I was just thinking we could work closer together for the next 60 to 90 days before you started that.

That wouldn't be productive.

But I couldn't possibly make it out there in less than seven to ten business days.

That's too bad.

I was gonna be out there the day after tomorrow.

I was thinking we could see the space, and then maybe go have lunch.

Lunch? Together?

Well, I wasn't thinking of eating in separate restaurants.

Ha! Of course you weren't.

Day after tomorrow's perfect.

But I thought you couldn't--

I can, and I will, and I will meet you at my ancestral home, that I've owned for quite some time, day after tomorrow.

Except when that bat is the reason you hit all those homers, because the second he gets it, everyone in the world's gonna know what's in it.

And my client might as well go out of business right now.

That is a ridiculous supposition without a shred of proof to back it up.

How's this for proof?

Your Honor, six years ago, Mr. Cahill went on a fishing expedition just like this one.

That has nothing to do with this.

Oh, doesn't it?

He subpoenaed a proprietary trading program from Kessler Capital.

It proved no wrongdoing, and ten months later they were out of business.

That has nothing to do with my subpoena.

And I have an affidavit here from Mr. Kessler saying it was directly because of your subpoena.

Mr. Cahill, is what he's saying true?

Did you go after Kessler in the same manner, and did he go under ten months later?

All right, I dragged this out as long as I can, but I'm pretty much done drafting this motion.

So I'll need you to proof it--

Harvey, before I do that, I think you should take a look at these.

What is it?

Cahill issued subpoenas to deposition William Sutter and Kevin Miller.

That sneaky son of a bitch.

Why are you smiling?

Because last night I went to Cahill and tried to give him Sutter's trading program.

You did what?

It was the only way I could see to stop the case from getting dismissed, but he wouldn't take it.

And this buys you time.

It does, if the judge waits to rule on our motion until after Cahill conducts these depositions.

Harvey, even if that works, what if Cahill doesn't get enough from the depositions to keep the case alive?

Then Mike's chance of getting out of prison is gone, which means Cahill's not the only one that needs to use this to try and get something.

I have to admit, Ms. Zane, when you said you were looking into the Bailey case, my interest was piqued.

That was a long time ago.

Well, you've obviously come a long way since your public defender days.

You don't exactly see the best of humanity at that job, which makes it one you can only do for so long.

But you didn't come here to be my therapist.

No, I came to talk about Maria Gomez.

What about her?

I'm curious as to how you can have an alibi witness on a m*rder case, and your client ends up on death row.

Because I didn't have an alibi witness.

I had a no-show who vanished into thin air, and I didn't have the resources to find her.

And you didn't think to ask the police at trial why they didn't follow up on Leonard's alibi?

I did think of it, and they would have said what they always say, "Every m*rder*r claims to have an alibi," and if I couldn't produce her, why should they?

Well, you could have at least asked for postponement, to have time to find her.

And I would have, except for one thing.

I wasn't sure a drug addict with a prior conviction would have done Leonard Bailey much good.

That's about her character, not the facts of the case.

Her character is a fact of the case, and when I pressed her as to what the two of them were doing at the time of those murders, she admitted they were both on meth, and it wasn't the first time.

Which, by the way, might have something to do with why she never showed up at trial.

So you can try to reopen this case if you want, Ms. Zane, but I am telling you, you're wasting your time.

What's going on?

What's going on is, the clock's ticking.

Sutter wants me to get the case dismissed.

What? If that happens, I'll--

I know.

Now, listen to me.

I bought us a little time, but I need you to do something.

Okay.

What is it?

Sutter doesn't know this yet, but he and I are gonna be here tomorrow to have a practice deposition with Kevin.

So I need you to do the best Sean Cahill you have to get them talking.

You want me in the room?

I don't think that's a good idea.

Didn't you hear me? We're running out of time.

I heard you, but I don't think it's a good idea for me to be in the same room as Kevin right now.

The drunk driving.

You knew?

I just found out.

Well, then you also know it's probably not the best time for me to chum up to him.

I'm not asking you to chum up to him.

I'm asking you to piss him off.

What are you talking about?

Kevin knows something, and he's not talking.

So we could sit around here for the next two years waiting for him to tell you, or we can light a fire under his ass by reminding him that Sutter's out there, while he's in here.

Now, are you with me or not?

I'm with you.

I take it you're here to give me the good news.

I'm afraid not.

I thought I made myself clear.

If you don't make a motion to dismiss this--

I did file a motion to dismiss, but it doesn't matter, because Cahill filed subpoenas to depose you and your son-in-law first, and until those depositions happen, the court won't file on the motion.

g*dd*mn it.

How the hell did he know to do that when we're about to have the case thrown out?

I don't know, but that's not what I came here to talk about, because we need to get you and Kevin Miller in a room to prepare you for your deposition.

You want us to go to prison?

I don't see any other choice, so you should call whoever it is you were gonna meet this morning and tell them you can't make it, because you and I are going to Danbury.

Were you really serious about wanting to help me?

Why do I get the feeling that's not a simple question?

Because I want to know if you're willing to give me access to certain records.

I'm sorry, Mike, I cannot give information on other inmates.

Oh, that's okay, because those aren't the records I'm looking for.

Did you find Maria?

You know, I haven't even started looking for her yet, because you lied to me.

What?

I didn't lie to you about sh*t.

Well, you certainly didn't tell me that you and Maria were high the night of those murders.

Who told you that?

Georgina Casey.

You went to see my old lawyer?

Yes, I did.

And now you sitting over there looking at me like, "You know, maybe he could have k*lled those people after all."

Leonard, when I went into that meeting, I was on your side.

And you came out of it off it.

No, when I came out of it, I had questions.

Okay, ask them. I got nothing to hide.

Really? Because you hid something from me the last time.

That was different.

No, it's relevant.

No, it isn't.

You were high the night of the murders, and you lied to me about it.

Because I'm ashamed of how I used to be.

I was a high school dropout on my way nowhere, so, yeah, I looked for an escape when I could afford one.

I'm not saying I didn't make some mistakes or maybe even commit a few crimes, but k*lling those kids was not one of them.

♪ ♪

And that's the truth, but I guess it doesn't matter, because if you don't find Maria, someday they're gonna walk me down that hall and put me to death.

Then I guess I better get back to finding her.

But, Leonard, I'm telling you, if you're not straight with me, this isn't gonna work.

Then I won't ever leave anything out again.

This is ridiculous. This kid's no Sean Cahill.

Okay, then why don't you tell me this, what's the best thing about having so much money?

What?

You heard me.

You got the penthouse in Manhattan.

You got the villa in the south of France. You get two yachts--

So what?

So I wouldn't want to give all of that up.

Would you, Mr. Miller?

Yeah, you.

I mean, you had use of all of these places too, until you threw it all away driving drunk, that is.

What?

Objection.

Irrelevant.

I think it's very relevant.

For all I know, Kevin could be somehow involved.

That's insane.

That's insane?

You're the developer of the trading software.

And I'm not the one who's on trial here.

Then let's talk about the one who is.

How do you feel about the fact that your father-in-law never came to visit you in prison?

Excuse me?

You heard me.

He hasn't come to see you once. How does that make you feel?

It doesn't matter to me.

[chuckles]

He could be lying on a beach in the French Riviera, while you can barely see your wife and kids, and that doesn't matter to you?

Mr. Miller's family has nothing to do with this investigation. Mr. Miller's family is the subject of this investigation, and his father in law clearly doesn't give a sh*t--

I'm grateful for everything Kevin's done for me, and he knows it.

Yeah, right.

I'm sorry, what was that?

Are you disputing the fact that he's grateful to you?

I'm not answering that question.

This isn't getting us anywhere.

He's getting you ready for Cahill.

I wouldn't have to get ready for Cahill if you did your g*dd*mn job and got this case dismissed.

That's right, get someone else to cover up your mess like you always do.

You got something you want to say to me?

I got something I want to do to you.

You better remember who you're talking to.

I know exactly who I'm talking to, the guy who doesn't give a sh*t about anyone else other than himself.

It means his daughter married a criminal.

You had to turn them down.

He didn't do it.

No, I had to turn them down, because he's not the only one involved.

You asked me why I was drinking that night.

It was because I found out the thing that I worked so hard on to get that prick's approval was nothing but a lie.
