You may be wondering, what's the connection between complacency and arrogance?
68
They don't sound like they're closely related, but they are.

They're not siblings, they're cousins.

Do you know why that is, H?
71
I don't know.

Success breeds complacency, complacency breeds hubris, hubris breeds arrogance.

Come on, Richie, you know that you can't just summon the governor's grandson like that.
84
If you make things difficult for me, it won't end well for you, Harry.
85
Richie...
86

87
That's why you both put 50 grand in the pot.

89
So before you blow your jets, let me save you that 50k.
90
And, uh, no more threats.
91
This is about my fucking boy, Moody.
92
Not a kilo of chop or some brass that's taken a slap.
93
This is my fucking blood.
94
Now, either I talk with Eddie Arrigan or there will be a fucking drama.

You're emotional, I get that.
97
You know, he's just got his simmer in here.
98
Tell you what I can do, what?
99
I will personally speak to Eddie and we will get to the bottom of this.
100
When was the last time you saw Archie Hammond?

You're not being charged or anything, Harry?
104

117
Casualty -wise.
118
Do you want to go outside and have a think about it?
119
You know, maybe come back in and give this all and have a go.
120
His brief's here.
121
Fisk, please start by telling me why you broke into my client's home in front of his family
122
and dragged him down here.
123
We believe your client can help us with an investigation concerning Archie Hammond. Who?
124
Your other client, Conrad Harrigan's lifelong associate, Hammond, Archie Hammond.
125
What's the nature of your investigation?
126
Well, right now, simply to find out when your client last saw Mr. Hammond.
127
And why is this important?
128
We want to talk to him.
129
So phone him up.
130
Yeah, we did, but he didn't answer.
131
This is bullshit.
132
I need to get out of here.
133
Now, yeah?
134
I'm taking my client home right now, back to his family.
135
All right.
136
Have a think about what I said, Harry.
137
The net is closing.
138
You know it is, Conrad.
139
You may not, but you do.
140
Don't you, mate?
141
Where's Tommy?
142

147
I'm sorry, what'd you say?
148
I'll show you to him.
149
Right.
150
Well, come on in, let's go.
151
There's nothing in there but a fucking box.
152
Hold me up. Did you do that?
153
Hmm.
154
All on your own.
155
How long did that take?
156
About three hours.
157
No. Mm -hmm.
158
But that was a butcher. Can you go?
159
Have a look, lad.
160
Do you want me to translate that?
161
I bet he said something about the size of his cock.
162
Harry?
163
Drive the car.
164
Good morning, lads.
165
What are we doing?
166
I see.
167
Is that for me?
168
We're shooting families now as well.
169
I couldn't give a fuck about your family.
170
Richie's kid's missing, so it's an eye for a fucking eye.
171
All right.
172
I can't let you hide my family.
173
Hey, stop fucking about, mate!
174
I don't even want to be here.
175
This is for the rap.
176
You don't even fucking carry it.
177
Oh, you're all right, I'm not. But...
178
I do have the ears.
179
Can you hear me, Conrad?
180
Loud and clear, Harry.
181
Loud and clear.
182
Yeah, think about it.
183
She can pull that check out.
184
We can do this, right?
185
But I guarantee you, by the time you get home, your girlfriend, Sonia, you'll be pulling her out of Thames tonight.
186
In your long -term living, common -law, partner, what's -her -name, Precious, you'll be lucky if you find a single hair,
187
bit of gristle, tooth.
188
Yeah?
189
By tomorrow, your mums, dads, dogs, cats, fucking goldfish, whatever you keep.
190
That's actually what I fucking said.
191
Shut the fuck up!
192
I mean, alternatively, you can just call Richie, right?
193
You tell him you come round there, he didn't see no -one.
194
If you want, talk to the fucking Gav.
195
In your own time, boys.
196
In your own time.
197

213
You've probably not done this before, yeah?
214
But I have.
215
Let me tell you how it goes, yeah?
216
Normally, I'll take a blunt object, right?
217
I'll smash your fucking teeth out.
218
And I'll break your ribs, I'll break your legs, your forearm, yeah?
219
Take your fucking kneecaps off and smash both your feet.
220
So why don't you save yourself a week in intensive care and just give me what I want?
221
Yeah.
222
Thank you.
223
Can I have the copy, please?
224

230
Keep the stick, but this deal goes ahead.
231
Step back and...
232
This is yours.
233
Fucking hell, how much is that?
234
It's 40 ,000.
235
40 ,000?
236
That's my mortgage, that, mate.
237
We've always really flashed, That'd be like a couple of weeks in the Maldives for that.
238
Wow.
239
What would you choose?
240
Mortgage and Maldives, mate.
241
Well...
242
I'm not here for bribes.
243
I'm here to get assurances. That is yours.
244
Yeah?
245
Hey!
246
Can I speak to where it's to work you for, please?
247
I don't know if I don't know who that is.
248
Hmm.
249
Well, how about the, uh, the recently deleted yet unforgettable Urinal Cake Liquor 2?
250
Ring any bell?
251
You know, I don't need your permission to show some choice photography to your wife or your little boy, Alphonse, who's only five.
252
That's awkward.
253
Actually, I'm not interested in you at all, Alphonse.
254
I'm looking for, um...
255
I'm looking for this person here, Serafina Harrigan.
256
I need to find her.
257
I believe she's staying here right now.
258
I need to get access to her room urgently. Can you help? Can I help you?
259
Just for the pictures we are...
260
Thank you.
261
Bye -bye.
262
Harry, can I have a quick word?
263
Just going to go upstairs and blow my fucking brains out.
264
It's an Ocroker at London for a meeting.
265
But I, um, I just spoke to Conrad and he's finding us a safe house.
266
Funny, as soon as you put the word safe in front of house, it doesn't feel very safe, Harry.
267
What was it?
268
What was what?
269
A quick word.
270
Oh.
271
Gina's tagging Eddie.
272
There is nothing in the world that is more precious to a father than his child.
273
Now, Gina is the most beautiful,
274
most precious, funny, brilliant, brightest person in the whole world.
275
And because she is such a bright girl, I trust her.
276
And if she decides that she wants to be with somebody, then as far as I'm concerned, that's.. that's her choice.
277
All I can reasonably ask...
278
is that you be kind to each other.
279
And if you can promise me that, that you will show her respect, kindness, well, then you have my blessing.
280
Thank you.
281
I'm glad we had a check.
282
Just to say, you're right.
283
You are the future, mate.
284
And whatever comes, I will be right by your side as you ascend.
285
And one day when you're at the top and you're looking down over all of this, I'll be right there with you, mate.
286
Right by your side.
287
And I'll push you off.
288
Afternoon, Freddie.
289
I'll make this quick.
290
Fentanyl.
291
Tell me everything, you know.
292
You don't owe me, not any more.
293
Wait, do you mean Ron?
294
Because if you do, yeah, Ron is dead, but your photos, yeah, are on my person.
295
And Richie is still very much alive, mate.
296
I'm getting out.
297
What are you talking about?
298
I mean, I'm out.
299
Out or getting out?
300
Listen, if you're out, Freddie, then what are you doing here?
301
See, my experience, son, people who are out, they don't tend to show up at six with the enemy to answer all the questions about whether they're out or not.
302
This choice is extremely impractical.
303
If you shoot me now, your car becomes a crime scene.
304
So you'll have to get rid of me and my body, but before you do that, you have to somehow get off this roof.
305
And Kiko and Zoja are downstairs right now waiting for me.
306
So, unless your car is the Bat Copter, you ain't getting out of here.
307
And while you process that, think about this.
308
Conrad, he's not running things anymore.
309
Maeve is.
310
And Maeve is dangerous.
311
lunatic the king is dead so Kevin and I are taking over
312
and we're doing Richie too we plan to take over the fire
313
and to do that we need you is this even a conversation you are interested in entertaining
314
yes you sure you don't want to think about it no I mean yes I want in my All right, excellent.
315
All right.
316
So, first things first, to take over fentanyl, we need details.
317
The numbers, volume...
318
It's 15 grand a kilo.
319
45, 50 on the street.
320
Good.
321
What else?
322
Comes in from Holland twice a month.
323
Was Archie Hammond in on the fire with Richie?
324
No. No, I didn't think so.
325
Hmm.
326
But one of your lot is. Who? Who is it, Freddie?
327
Fuck this.
328
We should go up there.
329
Harry told us to wait here.
330
Fuck it.
331
Let's go.
332
Tosha, change of plan.
333
Yeah, we know.
334
30 seconds, 30 seconds.
335
Alice came because Conrad invited her.
336
Now, that's the real question, isn't it?
337
Why.. why did you invite Alice, Conrad?
338
Sure there's hardly room for another notch on the bed up there.
339
Excuse me.
340
Number ones are number twos, Alice.
341
Can I break in your bag, please?
342
Before you do anything, I should warn you, there's a tactical patrol coming through that door.
343
How long?
344
One minute.
345
Cunt.
346
So that's the plan, is it?
347
Planned DNA.
348
Ironic, isn't it?
349
After everything Conrad Harrigan's done, he's going away forever for something he didn't do.
350
Oh, don't look at me like that, you smug -arsed, cross -eyed, wrong -side -of -the -sheets, bitch -bastard!
351
You were made in a toilet, and that's where you belong!
352
Carl.
353
No. Harry.
354
Cat.
355
Take a seat.
356
Thank you.
357
I hear Richie's dead.
358
Yeah, well, Richie, uh...
359
Richie wasn't as smart as he thought he was.
360
And he always got emotional.
361
Mm.
362
And so you use that against him, and now Conrad is king of the castle, despite his current inconvenience.
363
And meanwhile, Kevin is probably thinking about making his move, and so is the half -sister.
364
Uh, what's her name?
365
Seraphina.
366
Yeah.
367
I'm told she's smart.
368
Got balls. So...
369
I need to know what is the quickest and most efficient way of taking them all out.
370
Scooping up the marbles.
371
And nobody knows how to do that better than you.
372
What do you mean?
373
I am talking about the future, and I am making you an offer.
374
Right.
375
Well, um...
376
I just wanted to say thank you. But no thank you.
377
I work for the Harrigans.
378
Now, let me get this straight.
379
You live in a world where you can ask Kat McAllister for favors and then tell her to go fuck herself.
380
No. No, I'm asking you to respect my loyalty.
381
Harry, the ship is going down.
382
I am giving you a chance.
383
The plane is going down.
384
Ship or plane?
385
Are you fucking with me, Harry?
386
Because whichever way you cut it, I am taking the Harrogans out.
387
Now, you can either help me, you could become my friend, and you could get very, very rich and very, very powerful, or you don't, in which case...
388
you become my enemy. So make a call.
389
Um, listen, Kat, we've both been at this a while, so I'll save us some time here.
390
Um...
391
I understand.. what you're saying, but Kevin is my friend.
392
And, yeah, Conrad and Maeve are Conrad and Maeve, but we can handle that,
393
so I'm afraid the answer is no. Harry, this isn't just about you.
394
It's about your family.
395
My family?
396
Mm -hmm. Which family?
397
Arrogance, Jim, Gina, everyone you love, they're all right here.
398
Come on, Harry.
399
This is the game.
400
It always was.
401
It always will be.
402
So make a call.
403
Are you with me?
404
you know that world you were talking about where i tell you to go and fuck yourself
405
yeah that world is this world big mistake we will see
406
Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
