1
If you're here to find out if Trevor's testifying, he is.
2
I can handle Trevor.
3
Harvey, we've been over this.
4
And I said we're not done being over it.
5
Listen to me.
6
I know that fool for a client bullshit, but the thing I'm being accused of is not being a lawyer.
7
So if I represent myself every second I'm up there, they're gonna see me as a lawyer.
8
And if she rattles you for one of those goddamn seconds, they're gonna see you as a fraud, and they're never gonna see you as anything else.
9
Okay.
10
I got it.
11
You said your piece.
12
It's my call.
13
I'm done talking about it.
14
Then we'll do a trial run to get you ready. Are you crazy?
15
You waste my time?
16
Not to mention air our dirty laundry in front of the whole firm?
17
Mike, in a week and a half, our dirty laundry is gonna be aired in front of the whole world.
18
And Gibbs is gonna come at you in ways you've never even thought about.
19
Oh, so I get it.
20
You don't want a trial run to get me ready.
21
You want a trial run to show me that I'm outmatched.
22
You are outmatched by me and Gibbs, and you're afraid to find out.
23
I am not afraid of Gibbs, and I am not afraid of you.
24
Then you won't mind agreeing.
25
If I beat you, you let me represent you in court.
26
Okay, Harvey, you want to go?
27
Let's go.
28
But you better bring your A game, because you might be the best closer in the city, but I'm the one fighting for my life.
29
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you're going to be hearing a lot of things over the next several days, but the truth is, this case is about nothing more than cold, hard innuendo.
30
And the fact is, I'm capable of reciting every element of jurisprudence in the state of New York.
31
And yet, despite that, the prosecution is going to try to convince you that I am a fraud.
32
Who not only didn't pass the bar or go to law school, he didn't even graduate college.
33
There isn't one piece of hard evidence proving that I didn't go to Harvard Law.
34
There's no record of tuition being paid.
35
No record of a Boston address.
36
There isn't even a simple picture in the yearbook.
37
Let's talk about the yearbook.
38
As he told you, I'm not in the yearbook.
39
Where is Mike Ross?
40
Now what he didn't tell you is that 25 other students are also not in this yearbook.
41
Now are those other students being charged with fraud?
42
Of course not, because we don't put people on trial for being sick on picture day.
43
And no matter what he says, the fact is, Mike Ross is not a lawyer.
44
He's a fraud.
45
And we will prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
46
The defense would like to call its first witness.
47
Right there.
48
He's such a non-lawyer, he doesn't even know the prosecution goes first.
49
And you obviously don't know Jarvis v.
50
The State of New York, 1937, when calling of the first witness is of such special nature as to disrupt the flow of the trial once it's started.
51
What the hell special nature are you talking about?
52
When the defense wants to call the prosecutor as its first witness.
53
Harvey, unless you have something to overturn this, I'm gonna need you to have a seat.
54
Mr. Spector, you said there's no record of me ever having an apartment in Boston.
55
Can you explain to the jury why there's no record of you ever having lived there?
56
I'm not the one on trial here.
57
No, you're not.
58
You're the one in that chair.
59
So why don't you answer the question or we can stop this whole thing right now.
60
There's no record of me living there because I sublet up there when I have my place down here.
61
So it is possible that a person not have a Boston address without it meaning that they didn't attend Harvard.
62
Great.
63
Thank you so much.
64
This witness is excused.
65
What exactly is your reason for not having an address up there?
66
Unless you're too afraid to answer my questions.
67
No, I'm not afraid of you at all.
68
My reason is that I chose to live with my friend Trevor during that time.
69
The only problem with that is your friend Trevor has lived in Brooklyn his entire life.
70
Exactly, a three hour and 20 minute drive from Harvard.
71
So you say you made that drive every day?
72
No, I only went up for tests because that's all I had to do.
73
I guess you needed some extra tutoring, huh?
74
You expect these people to believe
75
that you graduated from the most competitive law school in the world without ever going to class?
76
See, that's funny because you actually expect these people to believe
77
that I never went to law school at all
78
and yet still somehow managed to convince the smartest lawyers in the world to make me their youngest partner ever.
79
Whose story is looking more far-fetched now?
80
Oh, no answer?
81
Great.
82
No more questions, Your Honor.
83
I don't know if you've noticed this or not, but he's kicking your ass.
84
And I'm about to kick back.
85
Are you two discussing something that defense should be made aware of?
86
Just talking about the Knicks.
87
Now is the prosecution ready to call their first witness?
88
The prosecution's first witness is this affidavit from every single member of the defendant's supposed graduating class.
89
Objection, Your Honor.
90
I haven't seen that.
91
Well, then let me read it to you.
92
We collectively come forward to swear the following regarding Michael James Ross.
93
We never saw him.
94
We never knew him.
95
We never heard of him.
96
And it makes us sick that he's taking the good name of Harvard Law School and throwing it down the toilet.
97
Please find him guilty on all counts.
98
Your Honor, I move to strike that document right now.
99
On what grounds?
100
On the grounds that it's completely fabricated.
101
Where's your proof?
102
Besides the fact that I actually went to Harvard, there's no way you could have contacted all of those people since last night.
103
Then I suggest you call every one of these people and put them on the stand.
104
But when you do, every single one of them is gonna look you in the eye and say, who the hell are you?
105
What?
106
What?
107
No snappy comeback?
108
You can try to trick these people all you want, but the fact is, you didn't go to Harvard, and this proves it.
109
Objection, he's testifying.
110
What I'm doing is winning.
111
Alright, that's enough.
112
I think this is a good time to take a break.
113
You son of a bitch!
114
This isn't real.
115
I don't give a shit whether it's real or not.
116
You think Gibbs isn't gonna do things like that?
117
She is not gonna enter false evidence and you know it.
118
But she is gonna set up traps for you to bungle into like I just did.
119
This is such bullshit.
120
You were just pissed because I was kicking your ass, so now you're cheating.
121
Me?
122
You're the one who testified in your opening statement and every chance he gets.
123
Because that's exactly what me being my own lawyer gives us.
124
I don't care.
125
If I represent you and it turns out that you need to testify, we can call you up to the stand.
126
And if we do that, then Gibbs gets to cross-examine me and make me look like a liar.
127
Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but you're looking like a liar right now and I'm trying to keep you from looking like a fool.
128
You know what, I'm getting pretty tired of you using that word with me.
129
Too bad, because for all your bullshit up there, you still can't produce one person who remembers you from Harvard.
130
So, if you want to have a chance of representing yourself, get out of my face and go work on your defense, because I got a lot more where that came from.
131
Is the prosecution ready to call its next witness?
132
Prosecution calls Rachel Zane.
133
Objection.
134
Your Honor, the witness cannot object to testifying simply because she intends to take the first.
135
The witness doesn't have to testify because she's my wife.
136
What?
137
I have a marriage certificate here from the state of Nevada showing
138
that the witness and I were married in Las Vegas six weeks after we started dating.
139
Both of you up here now.
140
Where the hell did you get that?
141
What do you mean?
142
You didn't marry her and you know it.
143
Then why do I have everything I need proving I did?
144
Because you did some bullshit to get out of this.
145
Oh, look who's crying about it now.
146
Keep your voices down.
147
You think this is a joke?
148
You try this in court, Gibbs is gonna prove you're not married, And Rachel's gonna go to jail for perjury.
149
He's right.
150
You better know what the hell you're doing.
151
Who said that I was gonna use this in the real trial?
152
I get it.
153
This is a fake, just like you.
154
I said keep your goddamn voice down.
155
This is as real as that affidavit was, okay?
156
Now, you wanted to rattle me?
157
I've rattled you.
158
What are you gonna do about it?
159
Prosecution calls Rachel Zane to the stand.
160
Objection!
161
We just went over this.
162
When spousal privilege is invoked in the moment, prosecution has the right to challenge the validity of the marriage.
163
This is ridiculous.
164
Objection overruled.
165
Ms. Zane, take the stand.
166
We can skip swearing her in since she's just gonna lie about it anyway.
167
Objection.
168
Ms. Zane, if you got married six weeks after dating the defendant, why are you engaged to him right now?
169
Because we did it on a whim.
170
And we'd planned to have an annulment, but once we fell more in love, we thought that it might be wonderful to reveal it to our families after we were married again.
171
And how exactly did it go when you got married the first time?
172
We were in Las Vegas.
173
Yeah, yeah, I don't give a shit where you were.
174
What color was your dress?
175
What color was the cape?
176
Objection.
177
Who was there?
178
Were there any witnesses?
179
Your Honor, he's badgering her.
180
Come on.
181
Your Honor, get him off of her.
182
Tell me right now.
183
Let the witness answer.
184
The dress was white.
185
And the cake was vanilla with a buttercream frosting.
186
It was a small ceremony at around 10 p.m.
187
And I remember the man who married us like it was yesterday because it was the most special day of my life.
188
And when you came up with this story, did Mr. Ross at least give you the courtesy of letting you make up your own memories of your supposedly sacred day?
189
Objection.
190
Since if he represents himself at trial, you won't have a real wedding for at least two to five years.
191
Harvey.
192
And I've got one more question.
193
Did you vow to remain faithful to Mr. Ross throughout your marriage?
194
Yes, I did.
195
Yeah, then I guess when you cheated on him with Logan Sanders, it means you lied to him at that nonexistent ceremony, just like you're lying to all of us right now.
196
That's enough.
197
If you want to bring more outside information to dispute this marriage, feel free.
198
But for right now, this witness is excused.
199
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.
