1
Jonathan, what are you doing here?
2
Forceman bought the Wexler shares.
3
What?
4
They went back in the market and he snatched them right up.
5
Holy shit.
6
We win.
7
We do?
8
Mm-hmm.
9
You do.
10
It's not over yet.
11
I want you to drop a tender offer right away.
12
Jonathan.
13
What?
14
I've been thinking about Forsman. And?
15
You know we wouldn't have been able to do this without him, right?
16
No shit.
17
So think about what else we could do with him.
18
You want to team up with him?
19
Well, you don't need to convince me, but how the hell are you going to convince him?
20
By giving him a discount on this deal.
21
How much of a discount?
22
Thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of...
23
100%.
24
What was so important you couldn't tell me over the phone?
25
I want to offer you something.
26
It's my lucky day.
27
Everyone's bearing gifts.
28
You want me to buy controlling interest in the Sidwell Investment Group?
29
I want you to buy it at an 80 million dollar discount.
30
The exact amount I was going to cut him out of. Was?
31
Did you change your mind?
32
You're not going to cut him out of Gillis?
33
Guess you haven't heard.
34
I'm done with Gillis.
35
I sold my interest to Logan Sanders.
36
What the hell are you talking about?
37
That wasn't our deal.
38
What can I tell you?
39
When you're the biggest bully in the yard, people give you their lunch money without you even asking for it.
40
Oh my God, you son of a bitch.
41
You promised me that I would control what happened to that company.
42
I promised you if we won.
43
We didn't.
44
You did.
45
Yes, I did.
46
Then our other deal is off the table.
47
You're gonna give Jonathan Sidwell his goddamn cut.
48
How about I give you something even better?
49
What the hell is this?
50
A job offer.
51
You gotta be kidding me.
52
What, you think I was gonna hang you out to dry?
53
I could use a smart son of a bitch like you're working for me.
54
You're the last person in the world I'd want to work for.
55
I'm the only person in the world you want to work for.
56
Why is that?
57
Because you're a nobody.
58
You're a former lawyer who's been an investment banker all of ten minutes
59
and is about to blow the biggest deal that ever came his way unless you come over to me.
60
Go to hell.
61
Mike, Mike, Sidwell wants to see you.
62
Don't tell me he...
63
He knows.
64
Shit.
65
You little piece of shit.
66
Jonathan, let me explain.
67
There's nothing to explain.
68
You sold me out the second you connected with Forstman.
69
No, I...
70
I thought I could get out of it, all right?
71
But then you took Forstman's money and I...
72
You're gonna put that on me?
73
I took his money because I thought we were partners.
74
I didn't know you were gonna stab me in the goddamn back.
75
Stab you in the back?
76
If I didn't make this deal happen, you said you were gonna fire me.
77
I don't give a shit what I said.
78
I took a chance on you.
79
You spat in my face.
80
Jonathan, I...
81
You stood right there, selling me on forcement to stop me from finding out you betrayed me.
82
No, I did that to stop me from having to betray you.
83
Jonathan, he still owes us money, all right?
84
We can still go after...
85
There isn't enough money in the world for me to ever trust you again.
86
Listen to me.
87
No, you listen to me!
88
There is no goddamn we.
89
You're fired.
90
Jonathan, we can still talk to forcemen, all right?
91
You think I didn't try that?
92
Who the hell do you think told me that you sold me out in the first place?
93
Here.
94
Put this on your mantle.
95
Remember me every time you goddamn look at it.
96
Rachel or Donna?
97
Who told you to check up on me?
98
You don't think I'd do that on my own?
99
No, I don't.
100
Well, I wouldn't have, because I didn't think you'd need it.
101
Then I found out you got fired. So what?
102
People lose their jobs every single day.
103
Yeah, not people like you.
104
Something's going on.
105
Why'd you get fired?
106
You mean other than the fact that I picked a fight, I couldn't win?
107
I don't care how it turned out.
108
You went 15 rounds on your first shot.
109
No way Jonathan Sidwell lets you go after that.
110
It was Forsman, wasn't it?
111
I only got his money if I agreed to cut Sidwell out of the deal. And Sidwell found out?
112
He didn't just find out.
113
Forsman told him.
114
Son of a bitch.
115
Yeah, there's more.
116
That son of a bitch has offered me a job.
117
Mike, you can't do it, and you know it.
118
What choice do I have?
119
I was an investment banker for ten minutes, and I blew the only deal I'm ever gonna get near.
120
Well, that sounds exactly like the kind of bullshit Forsman tells people to wrap them around his finger.
121
Doesn't mean it's not true.
122
Yes, it does.
123
I could get you five interviews before tomorrow.
124
But how are you gonna do that?
125
By making five goddamn phone calls.
126
And what are you gonna say when they answer?
127
You're gonna tell them I was a Harvard-educated lawyer working for you?
128
Because you do that, I might as well go back to being a fraud.
129
What if I can get Jessica to take you back?
130
What if you could bring my parents back to life?
131
Because both those things have about the same chance of happening.
132
Mike, I'm trying to help you.
133
And I appreciate that, but I only have two references, Harvey who has to lie for me
134
and Jonathan who wants to kill me.
135
Mike.
136
Arvie, it's enough.
137
As much as you want to help me, you have no idea what it is to have been a fraud and have to start all over.
138
You want to see me?
139
You don't seem in a good mood.
140
I'm not.
141
We can talk about it later.
142
I walked all the way down here.
143
We can talk about it now.
144
I was just gonna ask how Lewis' talk went.
145
Bullshit.
146
That is not an I have to come talk to you conversation.
147
I want to bring Mike back.
148
That is not a conversation I ever want to have.
149
Jessica.
150
Harvey, I haven't slept better since his last night, except for every night since.
151
And I'm not going back.
152
In case you really were wondering, Lewis took his thank you like a dick.
153
And if that's all, I'm going home.
154
Mike, what are you doing here?
155
What are you doing here?
156
You know what?
157
It doesn't matter.
158
I'm here to take a job.
159
Wait, what?
160
No, you can't do that.
161
What do you care?
162
Mike, listen to me.
163
I know I'm mad at you about Sheila, but I don't care about that right now.
164
You cannot take a job with that man.
165
I don't have any other options, Lewis.
166
And I'm in this position because you paid that man Greenmail
167
because you paid that man Greenmail to walk away from my deal in the first place.
168
Believe me, I wish I hadn't.
169
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
170
Mike.
171
You know what?
172
It doesn't matter.
173
None of it matters.
174
This is about Rachel, isn't it?
175
She told me she hurt you.
176
Believe me, I understand.
177
But you cannot do this because of that.
178
This is a job, Louis, all right?
179
I'm not robbing a bank.
180
It's not a job.
181
It's a decision.
182
And I'm not going to let you make it.
183
Yeah?
184
What are you going to do about it?
185
Anything I have to.
186
You wanted to see me?
187
I thought you wanted to see me.
188
I wanted to see you both.
189
Lewis, is this about implementing your request with Sheila?
190
It's about retracting my request with Sheila.
191
What happened?
192
I thought...
193
Nothing happened.
194
I hired Mike Ross back at the firm.
195
What?
196
If Sheila and I are meant to be, we'll make that work.
197
But Mike was going to do something that I could not let him do.
198
So I'm using my reward on him.
199
Okay, Louis, I...
200
It's a great choice.
201
I'm proud of you.
202
Why don't you give me a minute with Jessica and see if we can't get him in office?
203
Thank you, Harvey.
204
Thank you both. Is that it?
205
I'd still like to be able to take Rosh Hashanah off, if that's okay.
206
I think we can work something out.
207
No way.
208
Jessica.
209
Mike Ross is not coming back to this firm.
210
You heard Louis.
211
He already gave him the job.
212
He can ungive him the job.
213
It's too late for that, and you know it.
214
Well, it damn sure didn't help when you jumped on in there and told him it was a great choice.
215
It was a great choice, and if I hadn't jumped in and let you speak your mind, you know what he would have heard?
216
Something's wrong with Mike Ross.
217
You don't know that.
218
Yes, I do, and so do you.
219
This is Louis we're talking about.
220
And you rejected his first request.
221
Because it was unreasonable.
222
And the only way you're gonna convince him that this is unreasonable is to tell him why.
223
Harvey?
224
Jessica, the only way to make him take that offer back is to force him to do it, because he's gonna ask you why again, again and again and no matter what you say he's gonna know you're foolish.
225
And then how long do you think it's gonna take him to remember
226
that last year he wondered if Mike even went to Harvard?
227
You could at least pretend to hide how happy you are.
228
I may be happy about it but you know I'm right
229
and the truth is I never should have let him go in the first place.
230
Welcome home, sailor.
231
You were out to sea a long time.
232
I was, but now I'm back.
233
This place hasn't changed a bit.
234
Maybe it has.
235
Is this a new Spinners album?
236
No. And you know it's not new.
237
You and Harvey joked about it.
238
I could have sworn that was a different one.
239
Said the man with the photographic memory.
240
Okay, that doesn't mean I've seen every album.
241
You have no idea where to go, do you?
242
Not a clue.
243
Come with me.
244
Donna, I went to the bullpen and some guy with a soul patch was sitting at my desk.
245
That's because it's not your desk anymore, and you're not cool enough to pull off a soul patch.
246
I dispute that.
247
Are you even capable of growing a soul patch?
248
I had a goatee my sophomore year of never.
249
Look, it's not your desk anymore because you're on the other side of the bullpen now.
250
Which other side?
251
The other side.
252
Like, not the side that you were on.
253
Towards the door or away from the door?
254
Which door are you talking about?
255
Which door are you talking about?
256
You know what?
257
Just shut up and keep walking.
258
You're not here five minutes, and you're already a pain in my ass.
259
This is the other side of the bullpen. Are you serious?
260
I know.
261
I fought a tooth and nail.
262
I mean, if it were up to me, you'd be setting up shop in the file room.
263
You did this, didn't you?
264
Well, I did not do it.
265
Thanks, Tom.
266
It's good to have you back, Mike.
267
Well, some of us have work to do.
268
And of course, by some of us, I mean you.
269
As soon as word got out that you were coming back, the partners started taking numbers to give the boy wonder their work.
270
Thanks, Donna.
271
You already thanked me.
272
Not for that. For not mentioning Rachel.
273
Mike.
274
Come on, you expect me to believe you don't know what's going on.
275
I know enough to know that it's between you and her.
276
So you got yourself an office.
277
That's not as nice as the one I had, but...
278
It's still a step up.
279
You mean because it's smaller or because the view is worse?
280
I mean because it's my old office.
281
You're shitting me.
282
Look in the top left drawer.
283
You're serious?
284
I am.
285
Donna said she did this.
286
She had the idea to give you an office.
287
It was my idea to give you this office.
288
And it just happened to be empty?
289
Something like that.
290
Right.
291
It's good to have you back where you belong.
292
Okay, enough fun.
293
Sean Cahill's trying to go through every file we have on the takeover.
294
You in?
295
Sure as hell don't want to do an amicus brief for Paul Porter.
296
Good.
297
Then figure out a way to keep Cahill from getting his hands on our documents.
298
And do it fast because we don't have much time.
299
Harvey, have you considered the fact that he's been going after us for collusion and we didn't collude?
300
What are you getting at?
301
Why don't we just give him all the files?
302
We have nothing to hide and fighting him makes it look like we do.
303
That's what I said to Jessica.
304
You know what she said to me?
305
A cop follows a car long enough, he's gonna find a busted tail light.
306
And even if he doesn't, he's gonna bust it himself.
307
Speaking of Jessica, you never told me how she felt about me coming back.
308
Find a way to beat Cahill, and then ask me that again.
309
Thank you.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
