1
Jessica, I need to talk to you.
2
Harvey, before you ask whatever you're about to ask, I'm not in the mood.
3
Well, that's not gonna cut it.
4
I need you to waive our non-competes for Evan Smith.
5
Is this a joke?
6
It's the only way to keep Mike out of prison.
7
There is no way to keep Mike out of prison.
8
Yes, there is.
9
We give Evan people who already want to go, and I give Anita Gibbs murderers in exchange for Mike.
10
And I've just spent the last 24 hours fighting to keep our non-competes.
11
Jessica!
12
No, he cut a deal to save this firm.
13
He cut a deal to keep us from going to prison prison and you know it.
14
You know, I don't give a what he thought when he made that deal.
15
He was gonna be found innocent.
16
What?
17
I went to see the foreman.
18
The verdict was gonna be not guilty.
19
Then let me see your deal with Gibson.
20
I don't have it yet.
21
Are you crazy?
22
You're asking me to decimate my firm for a deal you don't even know she'll take?
23
I'll make her take the deal.
24
You don't know that.
25
Yes, I do.
26
Jessica, we have a chance to save Mike and let the people who want to go, go.
27
And what if it doesn't work and we lose everything?
28
Then we do.
29
Jessica, Harvey's right.
30
Mike's family.
31
Even if we lose half the firm, if we don't try to save him, who are we?
32
Make the deal.
33
What are you doing?
34
Sometimes I like to come and just watch.
35
See how far you've come?
36
Something like that.
37
Gibbs didn't take the deal, Jessica.
38
I'm sorry, I was wrong.
39
No, Louis, you were right.
40
He's family and we had to try.
41
And whoever's left will be stronger.
42
Even if we're smaller.
43
How'd you know?
44
I knew.
45
And there's no way I'm letting you do this alone.
46
Oh, father, tell me Do we get what we deserve?
47
Oh, we get what we deserve And way down we go
48
And way down we go
49
So way down we go Way down we go Oh,
50
you let your feet run wild Time has come as we all fall,
51
go down Yeah, but for the fall,
52
ooh, my heart Do you dare to look my right in the eyes,
53
yeah Oh, cause they will run you down, down to the dark Yeah,
54
Sunday will run you down, down till you fall Oh, and they will run you down,
55
down till you go Yeah,
56
till you can't crawl no more And where are we going?
57
They're all gone.
58
Oh, oh, oh, without me, oh.
59
Harvey, what are you doing here?
60
I came to let you know that I dropped him off.
61
And, uh, he looks as good as he could look.
62
And I think he's gonna be okay.
63
I appreciate that.
64
But you could have told me that over the phone.
65
So what are you really doing here?
66
I miss him.
67
I miss him, too.
68
Where the hell are you going?
69
Where do you think I'm going?
70
Going home, Louis.
71
Don't you get it?
72
They're all gone.
73
Every single one of them.
74
Yeah, well, we knew that already.
75
No, no, I don't think you understand.
76
I'm not just talking about the partners.
77
I'm talking about everyone from the accountants to the secretaries to the guy who shines my shoes, Donna.
78
All of them, gone.
79
And what exactly do you want me to do about it?
80
I want you to get Harvey on the goddamn phone.
81
Well, I'm not gonna do that.
82
Why not?
83
Because tonight's not the night to call Harvey.
84
Why? Because Mike?
85
I don't know if you've noticed, but Mike is gone, along with everybody else.
86
And if we don't figure something out by tonight, We are gonna be left with nothing.
87
I didn't say we weren't gonna figure something out, Lewis.
88
I said we're not calling Harvey.
89
Well, then what the hell are we gonna do?
90
Right now, I'm gonna go to my office and fix myself a goddamn drink.
91
The first time I met him?
92
What do you think I thought?
93
I...
94
I thought he was an idiot.
95
Imagine how I felt when a bunch of weed spilled out of his briefcase ten seconds after he walked into his interview.
96
I know.
97
You were so horrified.
98
You got on the phone and you called the police.
99
No, wait, you didn't do that.
100
You offered the idiot a job.
101
That's because after I heard his story, I knew he wasn't an idiot after all.
102
And I knew by the end of that first morning that he wasn't like anyone I'd ever met.
103
And that if I wasn't careful, I was gonna be in trouble. To trouble. To trouble.
104
Look at that.
105
Lewis left me a voicemail.
106
I don't understand.
107
You seem happy about that.
108
That's because one of my favorite pastimes is to listen to one of Lewis' messages.
109
What if he's upset about something?
110
He's always upset about something.
111
That's why one of my favorite pastimes is to listen to one of Lewis' messages.
112
Damn it, Harvey.
113
Pick up the goddamn phone.
114
Because this entire firm is a ghost town, and I'm sorry Mike's in prison, but if we don't figure something out, what you and your little sidekick did is gonna be the end of us.
115
And don't give give me some about tonight isn't the time
116
because i gotta go yeah i know i'm coming with you
117
wait until you heard what i said it's gonna be a
118
rough night you need to stay here harvey it's gonna be a rough night no matter where i am
119
and at least if i'm with you there's a chance
120
that i could be of some use you better get your coat
121
because we're too much time would you like some more drinks
122
can i offer you an appetizer maybe some truffle fries or are we allowed to talk business now All right, Louis.
123
What do you think we should do, since it was your recommendation that landed us in this mess in the first place?
124
I recommended that because it was a last-ditch effort to get Mike out of prison.
125
And you also said we'd only lose 50% of our partners to Evan Smith.
126
How could I have known that she had the capacity to bring on more than that?
127
Don't you get it?
128
The rest didn't go to Evan Smith.
129
They just walked the hell out and went somewhere else.
130
Then we could sue their asses.
131
With what lawyers, what resources, and what money?
132
Because I don't know if you've noticed, but this firm has been gutted because of your recommendation.
133
No, Jessica, it was gutted because of mine.
134
Damn it, Louis, I told you not to call him.
135
Well, I did, because he's a partner, and like he just said, he was the one who wanted to sever the non-competes in the first place.
136
You're right, Louis, I did.
137
But I didn't come down here to play pin the blame on the Harvey.
138
I came down here to figure out what the hell we're gonna do.
139
Then let's get to it. May I help you?
140
Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt, but there was no one at reception, and I have your order here.
141
You gotta be kidding me.
142
You call me down here for an emergency, and then you take the time to order Chinese food?
143
I didn't order anything, asshole, so crouch your tiger, hide your dragon, or I'm gonna wang-chung your ass outta here.
144
Lewis, calm down.
145
Clearly, there's some mistake.
146
No one at this firm has ordered any food.
147
Well, I'm pretty sure this is the right place, because the name on your door is Jessica Pearson, and this order is for Jessica Pearson.
148
Yeah, this is Jessica Pearson.
149
Lewis!
150
What?
151
They know I'm not really here to bring you an egg roll, asshole.
152
I'm here to serve you with this.
153
What is that?
154
It's a class action.
155
We're being sued for every case Mike Ross has ever touched.

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.
