Damn!
2
Don't say a word to the customer.
3
I don't know, Brian.
4
It wouldn't drive a mile after living here.
5
That's the plan, Tommy.
6
We'll charge you another 300 bucks.
7
No, man.
8
I used to work honestly.
9
Oh, you are honest?
10
You?
11
Who served a five -year -old in jail?
12
The main thing is that our boss doesn't know.
13
You're an asshole, Ben.
14
Yeah.
15
Yeah.
16
Give this kiss to the customer if you don't want this asshole to take your job.
17
Oh, thank you.
18
You are my savior.
19
Really, thank you.
20
How much do I owe you?
21
300. Really, if it wasn't for you, I have to pick up my mother from a hospital in another city, and if I don't get there on time,
22
her insurance will expire, and we would owe thousands.
23
That health system will reach you with money faster than scammers.
24
Thank you!
25
Thank you!
26
Yeah, madame, actually...
27
The oil...
28
Oil is dripping.
29
What? But...
30
You said everything was okay with my car.
31
I think I understand.
32
Sorry, man, that was a small oversight by us.
33
Your repair will be for free.
34
Give our best mechanic half an hour and everything will be in tip -top shape.
35
Brian, get to work. Of course.
36
And you.. to my office.
37
But why I...
38
I should...
39
NOW!
40
Mr. Lucas, sir, I...
41
Shut up, Tommy!
42
You're fired.
43
But.. give me another chance, sir, I beg you.
44
For what, Tommy?
45
You wanted to gouge our client for cash, like a criminal.
46
I'm sorry sir, this would never happen again.
47
I promise you.
48
Okay, but only because you confessed to her.
49
Give me your keys.
50
Thank you sir, I won't let you down.
51
I am putting you on probation and you are demoted to junior mechanic.
52
Is that clear?
53
Clear.
54
So get back to work.
55
- Oh.
56
Brian!
57
That's a customer's watch!
58
It was.
59
Until he left it in the glove box.
60
I had enough, Brian.
61
I'm telling the boss everything.
62
Were you a rat in prison too?
63
Go to hell, Brian.
64
Mr. Lucas, I want to...
65
Brian, I am appointing you as head of your shift.
66
Oh, thank you, sir.
67
Keep an eye on him.
68
If you notice something suspicious, let me know. Is that so?
69
Then I'd like to say something about him right away.
70
I'm listening.
71
He always takes the last bottle of beer from the fridge.
72
I don't have time for your stupid jokes, Brian.
73
I have to go.
74
I'm meeting my daughter at the airport.
75
I haven't seen her in three years.
76
Get back to work.
77
Yes, sir!
78
- Thank you. Did you hear that?
79
I'm your new boss.
80
Now take care of the wheelbarrow while I drink a beer.
81
And wait for the boss's beautiful daughter.
82
Tommy, why are you poking your nose everywhere?
83
Does the shops profit for this month?
84
Come on.
85
Old Lucas always under bezels.
86
Take it.
87
Man, there will be cops here tomorrow. So what?

Tommy was in prison. Is that true, Tommy?

You can save your stupid words for the cops!

Have you seen the time?

119
I was the light.
120
Tough day.
121
One of our mechanics almost trapped me.
122
- That can be true.
123
- But it is.
124
to be a seasoned criminal who hid his past.
125
Here.
126
I asked Mr. Frank from the police to look at his criminal record.
127
Check this out. Did you read it?
128
Read what?
129
Thomas Fox was sentenced to five years in prison.
130
Read on.
131
for committing an assault on a person on the night of November 27th, at the corner of 83rd and Caldwell Avenue.
132
That's the day you were attacked on the street.
133
That very place.
134
Someone tried to rob me.
135
A random passerby stood up for me and I was able to escape.
136
So this scam also attacked you?
137
It's him!
138
He's one who stood up for me.
139
Did the cops arrest him after?
140
Yes.
141
So it turns out that...
142
He saved me.
143
And I didn't let him say a word.
144
We have to go to the police urgently.
145
They have him now.
146
What's going on?
147
Don't worry, Brian.
148
The police are conducting an investigation to collect all of evidence against this scoundrel.
149
Oh, okay.
150
I was worried that...
151
That's right.
152
That's what he needs.
153
By the way, do you remember exactly how you caught Tommy yesterday?
154
Sure.
155
Yeah.
156
I was passing by your office and so it was open.
157
And I looked in. And...
158
And there he was, Tommy, opening the drawer and taking out money.
159
That's what I thought.
160
Yeah.
161
Well, then this criminal needs to be punished.
162
Take him.
163
What are you doing?
164
I think you are the only criminal here.
165
There are no signs of lock being broken.
166
The door and drawer were opened with the keys.
167
With that keys.
168
Take him away.
169
Come on!
170
Eh!
171
Brian knew about my jail time, so...
172
blackmailed me and, uh...
173
He was trying to get money of that customer.
174
But why were you afraid to tell the truth?
175
I was afraid that you would fire me, sir.
176
Tommy, you can always tell me the truth.
177
Thank you, sir.
178
There is one person who wants to talk to you.
179
Sophie?
180
I just remember you.
181
Thank you.
182
If I had known that they would put everything on you.
183
That's.. it's alright.
184
I think it belongs to you.
185
And what about a beer?
186
Really?
187
So Brian lied about this too?
188
What a jerk!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
