Nancy?

Mike?

Yeah, hi.

You're a kid.

No, I'm a grown man.

You're so skinny.

Do they feed you?

Here, have a break.

Thank you.

Why don't you tell me your story?

It started, uh, two years ago.

I was a stay-at-home mom to my son, Freddie.

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 like that.

I'm so sorry.

I did the best I could.

I got myself a job as a secretary at Devlin McGregor, 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, ordering dinners together, stuff like that.

One night, he says that if I sleep with him, he's gonna take care of me in the firm.

And if I don't, he's gonna 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?

Uh, yes.

Yes, I can.

Your Honor, this case should be thrown out.

Other than her story, the plaintiff doesn't have one piece of evidence.

Because the evidence lies within their personnel files, which they're conveniently refusing to hand over.

Those files contain sensitive information.

He's phishing at the expense of our employees' right to privacy.

Please.

They don't give a rat's ass about his employees' right to privacy.

Sorry, that's actually unfair to rats' asses.

Your Honor, Mr. Spector's claim that we don't care about our employees, though belittling doesn't carry any weight as a rule of law.

True, but what does carry weight is that an investigation of sexual harassment must be conducted without any duress.

Your point?

The investigator and every person being interviewed answers to the same they're investigating.

That is the definition of duress.

It'd be as if your bailiff accused you of sexual harassment, and you assigned your stenographer to investigate.

Now, how likely would it be that this investigation yielded 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 it even got to an investigation.

I saw that.

That should be stricken.

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 a little of me?

I wouldn't trust you as far as I can throw you, Your Honor.

Hand over the files today.

That's it.

They're trying to bury you in paperwork.

Well, they picked the wrong guy.

If they didn't, I did.

Get it done by the end of the week.

I gotta run and try my new client.

I know where they don't want us to look.

Did you get through all those files in one night?

I would have done it faster, but I ordered a pizza.

Speaking of which, have you ever had the cheese in the crust?

Because it blew my mind.

What'd you find?

There was a dismissal on March 12, 2005, but the file with the employee name on it is missing.

It's our woman.

I know it is.

I'm moving to slap sanctions on their attorney, possible jail time.

Guy's not gonna know what hit him.

Dennis, Harvey Specter, did you have anything to do with the March 12, 2005 files left out of Discovery?

If they're here by noon, I'll believe you.

If not, we're filing for sanctions.

Threat of sanctions is better than filing for sanctions.

That's what I meant.

Threaten, not file.

Who would mean that?

Shave.

Mr. Ross, what happened to me happened six years ago.

It was horrible, and there was a reason I didn't know and there was a reason I didn't do anything about it.

They'll put me on that stand and attack me, and I don't want that.

Ms. Webster, Joanna, this man is a predator.

And if you don't help stop him, he will do it again.

All you have to do is give a deposition of your...

I'm sorry.

I can't do it.

What happened with the witness?

I failed. To not be awesome.

I got her to testify.

100

You should have seen me.

101

I tried everything.

102

He'd do it again.

103

I'd be with her every step of the way.

104

I'd be with her every step of the way.

105

Nothing worked.

106

And then it hit me.

107

I asked her, what if it was her daughter that he did this to?

108

She melted.

109

Oh, and you know how I came up with that little gem?

110

I cared about her.

111

Oh.

112

Thank you.

113

I'm glad to see that staying up all night doesn't make you act like a complete idiot.

114

Now go home and get some sleep.

115

I don't want you waving that thing around during tomorrow's deposition.

116

Ms. Webster, would you say that you're a truthful person?

117

Yes.

118

Yeah.

119

So when you said earlier that you had never been arrested for a crime, you were, uh, you were speaking the truth.

120

Yes.

121

Yes.

122

So in 1993, then, you were not arrested for stealing $1,000 worth of jewelry from the Willow Grove Mall in Pennsylvania.

123

I was 17.

124

That was one mistake.

125

Those records were supposed to be sealed.

126

Oh, so when you say those records were sealed, what you mean to say is you thought you could get away with a lie.

127

No, that's not it.

128

You're making it seem different than it is.

129

I'm sorry.

130

You were arrested in your past, and you lied about it here under oath.

131

Is that making it seem different than what it is?

132

No answer.

133

All right.

134

Um, let me ask you this.

135

Since you've lied here once, what's to make us believe you're not lying about Mr. Hunt?

136

Well...

137

Joanna, wait, please!

138

This is why I didn't want to testify.

139

They twist something from 100 years ago and make me look like a liar.

140

They make it sound like what he did to me didn't happen.

141

Look, it doesn't matter, all right?

142

I just, I need you to testify on Friday and keep this case alive.

143

We don't have time to find anyone else before.

144

Would you please wait?

145

No, I'm not waiting.

146

You promised this wouldn't happen, and it did.

147

You never told me you were arrested.

148

Don't contact me again, please.

149

What happened with the witness?

150

Nothing.

151

Nothing happened.

152

I couldn't fix it.

153

So you're gonna quit?

154

It's either that or have Lewis Lipp fire me.

155

What are you talking about?

156

My first day, Lewis fired Gary Lipsky for screwing up a case.

157

He said if I did the same thing, I'd be gone just as fast.

158

Will you go back to the witness's house and get her to testify again?

159

I tried.

160

There's no way.

161

I tried.

162

There's no way and get her to testify again.

163

I tried.

164

There's no way.

165

There's always a way.

166

Then why don't you go and convince her?

167

Because you screwed it up.

168

Oh, and you don't give a damn about the client.

169

Right.

170

It's not my job.

171

Does your job include giving a damn about me

172

because the least you could do is offer to stand up to Louis for me?

173

Stand up for you?

174

I put my ass on the line for you.

175

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.

176

That's not true.

177

Isn't it?

178

You've had one foot out the door since you got here.

179

What are you talking about?

180

I'm talking about that briefcase being locked in your desk.

181

Yeah, I saw it, and I know what it is.

182

It's your backup plan in case this doesn't work out.

183

You can make some quick cash and go right back to the life you told me you didn't want to lead.

184

So if you want to quit, go ahead.

185

But this isn't because of Lewis, and it isn't because of me.

186

It's because you're afraid you might have to admit that you're not as smart as you think you are.

187

If you're here in the morning, I'll know I still have an associate.

188

You can save your breath.

189

There's no way I'm testifying at the hearing tomorrow.

190

That's not why I'm here.

191

I know what you did.

192

What are you talking about?

193

You never worked for Devlin McGregor.

194

And you were never harassed by Mr. Hunt.

195

That's a lot of- Look, I could tell you that I've got the cancelled checks or the wire transfer or whatever smoking gun that exists.

196

I don't.

197

But I will, and when I do, you'll be going to jail, unless you tell me what happened right now.

198

I'm the guy you tell.

199

All I had to do was waste your time until tomorrow, after the hearing.

200

Please, I just needed the money.

201

I don't want to go to jail.

202

Here's what you're gonna do.

203

She came to work today.

204

Nice suit.

205

It was a barter transaction.

206

I got six of them for one little briefcase.

207

Listen, uh...

208

I'm sorry, and...

209

Forget it.

210

When I first started, Jessica wrote me so hard, I quit once a month.

211

I just told you what you needed to hear.

212

That's just it.

213

I've only ever had one person who told me what I needed to hear.

214

Maybe it's time I started trusting somebody else.

215

Merry Christmas. Is this for real?

216

You know what to do.

217

Press until it hurts.

218

Harassment is a civil violation and the penalty is money, but witness tampering, that's a crime.

219

And you will go to prison, where I guarantee you'll learn more about unwanted sexual advances that you can possibly imagine.

220

Do you think this is going to intimidate me?

221

Even if this evidence was credible, who are you going to get to prosecute a small-time witness tampering charge, huh?

222

Harvey, didn't you graduate law school with the current U.S attorney in New York?

223

In fact, I did.

224

And I think he might even be interested in pursuing a case like this.

225

Wait, are you two still clubs?

226

Well, I was the best man at his wedding.

227

Wow.

228

No, you weren't.

229

You're bluffing.

230

No. I think I've got some pictures of us at the ceremony.

231

Let's see.

232

Yeah, here we are.

233

Must admit, I look very dashing.

234

This is me and his mother.

235

The woman adores me.

236

Here we are at his bachelor party.

237

There's no strippers.

238

He's lame.

239

But he can't put guys like you away for sexual harassment and then go to strip clubs now, can't he?

240

All right.

241

What do you want?

242

An admission of guilt and a guarantee that you'll obtain treatment before working again.

243

And Nancy gets reinstated with back pay.

244

Fine.

245

And a raise.

246

Oh, okay.

247

All right. Are we done?

248

The kid should be able to grow up without the burden of tuition hanging over his head, don't you think?

249

Which is why you're also gonna pay Nancy an extra $250,000.

250

Charles.

251

Gentlemen.

252

Thank you for everything.

253

You're welcome.

254

Not bad.

255

Well done.

256

Okay, so just one question.

257

Why'd you go to Joanna's house?

258

Because I figured it out.

259

I object.

260

I think you did it because you care.

261

I did it because it's my job.

262

Do admit it, you care about me.

263

I saw you smile when I showed up for work this morning.

264

I didn't smile.

265

I was thinking of a funny joke.

266

Look, we start on this tomorrow.

267

Does this mean we're officially a team now?

268

I wouldn't move your things into Wayne Manor used to.

269

So now you're Batman.

270

Closer to him than Clemenza.

271

Oh, yeah, Kilmer.

272

Clooney.

273

Keaton.

274

Did you really quit when you first started?

275

Of course not.

276

I'm not a wolf.

277

Thank you.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
