You're the manager.

Yes, you can help me, absolutely.

I very much need to get inside here.

So if you have a master key, you have a key, right?

Yeah, I have a key.

Look, the person who lives here, it's just very important for me to see him.

And you knocked, right?

Yeah.

He didn't answer, which means?

Look, I'm his father.

You're Mr. Jackson?

Yes, that's me.

Walt Jackson.

Mr. Jackson, I'm happy to let you use my phone.

Want to call him?

No. No. As I said, I would like to have you let me inside here so that I can check on my son's well-being.

You understand?

Whatever's going on between the two of you is family.

I don't get involved in family.

Jesse doesn't want you in, you're not getting in.

Period.

Sorry.

Come on in, Dad.

You okay?

Yeah.

Whatever, man.

Hey, give me my...

I will break this.

Damn druggy idiot.

Is this what you've been doing the whole time I've been trying to reach you?

What business?

What, you already forgot?

This business.

Is that a jog of memory?

Son of a bitch.

You didn't actually...

Hey, you said handle it, so...

You know what?

I handled it.

When I said handle it, I meant fear and intimidation.

I meant get your money back.

I certainly never meant for you to kill somebody.

Well, too late, you know, because dude's dead.

Oh, God.

All right?

Way dead.

Oh, God.

Oh, and hey, hey, hey.

Here.

Here's your money.

$4,660.

Your half.

Spend it in good health, you miserable son of a bitch.

I didn't say I killed him.

Tell me what happened.

Dude's wife crushed his head with an ATM machine.

Crushed his head?

Crushed his head with an ATM machine right in front of me.

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.
