Previously on "Suits"...

Your execution date has been set.

When?

30 days.

You said you were gonna find Maria.

You have one week to find a witness.

After that, his execution date is set in stone.

We found the guy who's been feeding Sutter his information.

Phillip Allen. I know.

He came by to cut a deal two hours ago, so I gave him one.

No you g*dd*mn didn't.

Relax.

As far as the SEC is concerned, Mike lead directly to the witness who's gonna put that piece of sh*t away for the rest of his life.

You have a small window to come clean with the SEC and save yourself.

I would never turn on my own father.

I didn't take this deal for that son of a bitch.

I took it for my wife.

And if you ever contact her again without my blessing, I swear to God, I will b*at the sh*t out of you.

Jim Rogers found your missing witness.

She d*ed three years ago.

You're informing on your roommate.

I know it, and if you don't get me out of here soon, your bunkmate's gonna know it, too.

They pulled Mike's deal.

g*dd*mn it, I drove that guy to you!

If I tell them that, they're gonna know what we did.

Sean, please, there's got to be another way to make this happen.

I'm sorry, Harvey, there isn't.

Jessica, can I talk to you for a second?

Harvey, can it wait?

I just got some bad news about our death row case.

No, it can't.

Cahill just pulled Mike's deal.

What?

I thought he was a man of his word.

He's saying it wasn't him.

It was his superiors, but what difference does it make?

It makes all the difference in the world, because if it's him, you can go over his head.

I go over his head, everybody knows we're in on this thing together.

So what you're telling me is, not only are they pulling Mike's deal, but you're going to lose this case for nothing?

Yeah.

I guess that's what I'm telling you.

Then you're not gonna like what I have to say.

[tense music]

But if Mike's not getting out, you might as well win.

What?

Harvey, we're in the middle of building ourselves back up.

You lose this case, we take it in the knee.

Jessica, the guy is guilty.

And you're his g*dd*mn lawyer.

And you took this case.

And I never would have taken it if it wasn't to get Mike out.

Well, you did take it.

And if it's just gonna kick us back down the mountain, then I don't care what it takes.

You win that g*dd*mn case.

♪ ♪

We're gathered to hear the United States versus William Sutter on the charges of insider trading.


Is the prosecution prepared to deliver its opening statement?

We are, Your Honor.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, William Sutter has been earning outrageous returns for decades.

Now, I'm sure the defense is going to try to convince you Mr. Sutter trades with his gut or his instinct or some mysterious explanation that is impossible to verify.

But that isn't how he makes his money.

And we can prove it.

We have a witness that can document giving inside information to William Sutter time and time again over the last ten years.

And when we present that witness to you, you'll be leaping out of your chair to convict that man beyond a reasonable doubt.

Mr. Specter.

What the hell witness is he talking about?

Didn't it have to be in discovery?

It sure as hell did.

What're you gonna do about it?

I'm gonna stop it dead in its tracks.

Mr. Specter, is the defense ready to deliver its opening statement?

No, Your Honor, but we are ready to request an immediate three-day delay of these proceedings.

On what grounds?

The prosecution knows what grounds, because he just violated the rules of discovery.

Your Honor, I have absolutely no idea what he's talking about.

Yes, you do because you just introduced a witness into your opening statement and this is the first I'm hearing about it.

It's the first you're hearing about it because the witness just came forward yesterday.

I'm sorry, did the Internet go down?

Did you go over the limit on your friends and family plan?

Because we're required to be notified and I don't even know what this person's name is.

His name is Phillip Allen and he's prepared to put that man behind bars where he belongs.

Mr. Cahill, that's enough.

Your Honor, we need three days to depose this witness.

This is ridiculous.

They've lost, they know it, and they're just trying to stall.

Then you should have thought of that before you decided to drop this b*mb in my courtroom.

Mr. Specter, you have three days.

♪ ♪

I wasn't expecting you so soon.

We have some news we wanted to give you in person.

We found Maria Gomez.

Leonard, she d*ed three years ago.

What does that mean?

It means that we have five more days to find something we can use to get your case re-opened.

That sounds like a polite way of telling me that in 30 days, I'm gone.

And what if there was a way to get us more than five days?

Let's take it.

You have the right to have a family member present at your execution.

If you have a relative that's sick, who needs time to get better to travel, we can petition the court for a delay and they have to grant it.

The woman who raised me, my Aunt Harriet.

She has MS.

But that's not gonna do us any good, because she doesn't want anything to do with me.

She never came to visit you?

She thinks I'm guilty.

Says I brought shame on the family.

Even if you did, you need her now.

She has to see that.

I reached out to her, Rachel, a thousand times my first years here.

I wrote her that there's nothing I needed more than to know that I had her support.

She didn't give it to me then, and... she's not gonna give it to me now.

Well, maybe if she could see that two women like us believe in you, then she'll be able to believe in you, too.

If you can make that happen, that would mean the world to me.

Then we'll make that happen.

♪ ♪

That was nice work in there.

Think it was good enough to get us a mistrial?

Mistrial? You're lucky they didn't find you guilty after that.

What the hell are you talking about?

Enough bullshit, William.

This isn't the SEC asking anymore, this is me.

Who the hell is Phillip Allen and what the hell is he gonna tell them?

He's an investment banker, used to work for me.

He's not gonna tell them sh*t about me because he doesn't know sh*t about me.

Then why were you so surprised when they said they had him?

Because he can tell them about my daughter.

I get it.

He gives inside information to her, so if this goes down, she goes down instead of you.

No one's going down.

'Cause they can't prove she told me what he told her.

Which means, if you do your job, we both get off.

William, you're taking a huge risk.

What the hell you think I hired a gunslinger like you for?

So stop telling me I can't win and go ahead and start winning.

Excuse me, sir, is everything okay?

No, everything is not okay, this assh*le gave away my table.

Hey, man, it's all good. I'll get you another table.

"Hey, man," it's all bad.

I want you to give me authorization to cut you both a deal.

You turn yourself in, you get maybe three years, and you keep her out.

Why the hell would I do that?

Because if she turns on you, you're gonna be getting a hell of a lot more.

I'm not cutting a deal.

Jill's a young woman, I'm an old man.

She does a few years, it hardly makes a dent.

When she gets out, she can still play tennis and go to Pilates and do all the things I always gave her the money to do.

You knew it might come to this, didn't you?
