1
The End Well, if it is a Mike Ross.
2
I take it you're not here selling Girl Scout cookies, but if you are, I'll take two boxes and go fuck yourself.
3
Just sit down, Gallow.
4
I don't want to be here any more than you do, but I need your help.
5
Last time I helped you, I got five years from my trouble.
6
Well, maybe we can do something about that.
7
What the hell is this?
8
That is a lawsuit.
9
against your former prison for starting fights with inmates so that they could extend their sentences.
10
I want you to be an expert witness.
11
You gotta be shitting me.
12
Frank.
13
Save your breath.
14
There's not a chance in how I'm doing this.
15
What if I told you I could make it worth your while?
16
It doesn't matter because I don't know what the hell you're talking about anyway.
17
Bullshit.
18
You expect me to believe that you own all the guards in here?
19
You didn't know about a conspiracy at your last prison?
20
Sounds like you know a whole hell of a lot.
21
What do you need me for?
22
I need somebody to tell me everything.
23
And in exchange, I am willing to- I'll tell you what you're willing to do.
24
What you promised to do in the first place.
25
You're gonna get me out of here.
26
You know I can't do that.
27
Bullshit.
28
That Cahill guy owes you big time.
29
Mark those pretty little feet in there and say what has to be said.
30
Or you won't know anything about anything.
31
While you're at it, next time you're here, bring me a goddamn cookie.
32
Where the hell have you been all morning?
33
I went to see Sean Cahill at the SEC.
34
I hate to break it to you Mike, but the SEC doesn't have jurisdiction over private prisons.
35
I know that.
36
I was trying to cut Frank Gallo a deal.
37
Oh, he said he'll testify.
38
Not unless he gets parole.
39
Cahill said no, which means we need to go through Gallo's files, see if we can find another way to get him released.
40
Mike, Mike, hold it up a second.
41
Gallo's files said he got an extra five years for assault with a deadly weapon while he was at Danbury. So?
42
So that was pretty damn close to when you got out of there.
43
Mike.
44
Is this the guy who tried to kill you?
45
Oliver, it's...
46
Jesus, Mike, we can't put a guy like that out on the street.
47
I'm not trying to get him out now.
48
I'm gonna get him out two years early, which is still five years from now.
49
In the meantime, if I don't do that, how many guys are gonna end up just like Chris Reyes?
50
Right now, I'm worried about you ending up like Chris Reyes.
51
If Gallo is gonna come after me, it doesn't matter if it's in five years or seven.
52
We only have so long before me working on this becomes too risky, which means this is the only way.
53
Okay.
54
But I've seen you do things no other lawyer could.
55
You're sure as shit smart enough to convince this guy to take something besides parole.
56
You don't know Frank Gallo.
57
What I know is what you taught me.
58
Everybody has something they want, which means all you have to do is find out whatever else Gallo wants and give it to him.
59
Mr. Ross, we are prepared to hear your final statement.
60
Before we do, I have one last question.
61
Mr. Ross, you say you're a changed man and you care about the truth, but I want to know if you're capable of telling the truth.
62
So I'm going to ask you a question, and I suggest that you consider your answer very carefully, because as far as I'm concerned, your answer will determine whether or not you become a lawyer.
63
During your time at Pearson Specter Lit, did anyone there have knowledge of the fact that you were a fraud?
64
Mr. Ross, did anyone else know?
65
I knew.
66
And if you're looking for a scalp, you can have mine.
67
But I was under the impression that this hearing was not about my old firm, but whether or not Mr. Ross should be a lawyer.
68
I say he should.
69
It doesn't matter what you say.
70
He's already had someone testify for him.
71
I'm not here to talk about him.
72
I'm here to talk about someone else.
73
Someone else has nothing to do with this.
74
I'd like to hear this.
75
15 years ago, a young woman was arrested for illegally obtaining prescription drugs.
76
Turns out she had chronic pain and didn't want to drop out of med school, possibly never to return.
77
So she stole a couple of prescription pads from the hospital where she was interning.
78
A crime with a mandatory sentence of seven years.
79
But instead of throwing the book at her, the prosecuting attorney showed mercy.
80
Had the charges knocked down to a misdemeanor, recommended probation, and sealed the records.
81
That's a touching story, but I don't see what a random attorney has to do with these proceedings.
82
She's not talking about a random attorney, she's talking about me.
83
Just because I showed compassion once doesn't mean he deserves it now.
84
Maybe he doesn't.
85
But that young woman is now an ER doctor.
86
She saves lives.
87
And the world's a better place because you saved hers.
88
Thank you, Ms. Pearson.
89
Mr. Ross.
90
I don't think I can add anything to that.
91
I've made my case.
92
I leave the choice to you.
93
Then this hearing has concluded.
94
We will deliberate and let you know our decision by day's end.
95
Thank you.
96
So what do we do now?
97
They said they would let us know by the end of the day.
98
So we'd wait.
99
Well, it is the end of the day, which means...
100
It doesn't mean anything, Louis.
101
Whatever's going on in there, Seidel's gonna fight like hell.
102
It's not gonna make a difference.
103
She's never gonna change her mind.
104
I think she will.
105
What do you mean?
106
I mean that story wasn't any old story, and that woman wasn't really a woman, it was a man named Joseph O'Neil.
107
And it was Walter Sampson's godson.
108
So she did call in a favor?
109
Yeah, she did.
110
Then we need to get her kicked off that board.
111
No, Harvey, we don't.
112
Because I didn't fly all the way down here to strong arm that woman.
113
And I know the story of the wind and the sun.
114
What the hell are you talking about?
115
She's talking about Aesop's fable, which basically says that if you want a man to take off his coat, you don't blow it off.
116
You make him feel warm and he'll take it off on his own.
117
That's not a strategy, it's a prayer.
118
Luis, I already admitted that I knew about Mike, and I reminded her of her own compassion.
119
That's the best we're going to do.
120
You know they could disbar you for that.
121
In New York, they might.
122
In Chicago, nobody's gonna care.
123
Thank you, Jessica.
124
Don't thank me.
125
Thank Harvey.
126
He's the one that called me.
127
Seidel.
128
Hello.
129
Y'all tell them.
130
Thanks for calling.
131
You're in.
132
Oh my God, it happened.
133
I need to go get us some champagne.
134
Thank you so much.
135
Thank you for flying in.
136
How would I miss this with the world?
137
Mr. Cahill, you better have a compelling reason why I shouldn't grant Mr. Spector a dismissal
138
Or this thing is gonna be over before it gets started Oh, I have the most compelling reason of all.
139
A copy of Mr. Sutter's trading program.
140
Bullsh.
141
He was in here trying to subpoena this thing last week and now it miraculously falls in his lap?
142
What are you implying?
143
I'm implying I don't know what you did, but Santa sure as hell didn't put that thing under your tree last night.
144
Well, unless you have proof that I did something wrong, you can shut the hell up.
145
All right, that's enough.
146
Now, assuming this thing is legitimate, what's it gonna show me?
147
It's gonna show you it's responsible for 95% of Mr. Sutter's trades over five years.
148
Are you trying to win this case for me?
149
Because my entire defense is that my client makes his trades using that program.
150
Exactly.
151
It's not the 95% I'm concerned with, it's the other five.
152
Those are the ones he made billions of dollars on.
153
The only way he could have done that by trading on inside information.
154
Motion for dismissal denied.
155
Gentlemen, we're going to trial.
156
But Mr. Cahill, if it comes to light that you obtain this program illegally, not only am I going to toss this case, you're going to be faced with a charge of malicious prosecution.
157
Here's what we're going to do.
158
I don't give a what we're going to do.
159
I don't know where the hell he got that thing.
160
I don't know, but that's not the only question we need to answer.
161
What other question is there?
162
William, I don't know if you've noticed, but you've got an employee that's looking to take you down, and we need to figure out who it is.
163
How exactly are we gonna do that?
164
We're gonna start conducting interviews with every employee you have, but before we do that, I'm gonna make sure Sean Cahill isn't hiding anything else from us in Discovery.
165
So, if you'll excuse me, I need to handle this myself.
166
What are you coming to me here for, Harvey?
167
Sutter's 30 feet away.
168
Relax.
169
He thinks I'm making sure that you didn't pull out a fast one with Discovery.
170
So as long as it looks like we're arguing, we're fine.
171
That's not gonna be a problem, because I got some news.
172
What are you talking about?
173
Two seconds after you left, she put us on the docket.
174
We got a trial in five days, and right now I don't have .
175
What do you want me to say, Sean?
176
I'm already using what we did to shake the trees with his employees.
177
That's not good enough.
178
So you need to go back to that prison and tell Mike that he better get me something, get it fast, because I didn't sell my soul last night to watch that bastard right off into the sunset.
179
Lewis, whatever you're doing, I need you to put it down.
180
Not now, Harvey.
181
I'm planning the ultimate day This is the ultimate date for the love of my life.
182
This is for Mike.
183
All right, what do you need me to do?
184
This is every big money trade William Sutter's made in the last five years.
185
I need you to go through it, reverse engineer it, and find any evidence you can of insider trading.
186
That would be a lot easier if I had access to Sutter's files.
187
Well, I can't get that to you right now.
188
Why not?
189
Because he can't know we're doing this.
190
Okay, Harvey, last week you told me that you were protecting me by not telling me what's going on.
191
Stop protecting me.
192
What the hell is going on?
193
I cut a deal with Sean Cahill.
194
Sutter goes down, Mike gets out.
195
Holy shit.
196
I know.
197
And don't tell me Mike still doesn't have anything for you.
198
No, he doesn't.
199
This trial starts in five days.
200
Well, I better get on it.
201
Thank you, Louis.
202
Hey, there you are.
203
I've been looking for you all morning.
204
I had something important to do, Louis, and now I have actual work to catch up on, so I can't really talk to you about your date right now.
205
No, no, no. It's not about my date.
206
It's about Harvey's case, and I know it's from Mike.
207
What is it?
208
Harvey wants me to reverse engineer Sutter's trades, but I can't do that without access to a trading database.
209
And we can't ask the SEC because they're supposed to be on the other side.
210
So why are you coming to me?
211
Because Stu Dickface Bazzini has a database.
212
And he's the last person in the world who would help you.
213
Donna, please, I would not be coming to you if there was another way, but I have been up all night, and there is no other way.
214
I'll take care of it, Louis. Have a seat, Brian.
215
I just have a few questions and you can be on your way.
216
What exactly is this about?
217
You don't know?
218
No. I talked to ten people here, and no one will tell me a thing, except that this isn't gonna be easy.
219
That's because the SEC got an anonymous copy of William Sutter's trading program, and I want to find the son of a bitch who leaked it.
220
Well, I can tell you it wasn't me.
221
Which is exactly what those ten other clowns just said, and I'll tell you what I told them.
222
It didn't magically appear on their doorstep.
223
I don't care how they got it.
224
And if that's your only question, I need to get back to work.
225
You'll leave when I say you can leave.
226
What did you say?
227
I said, sit the hell down.
228
You've been a VP for five years, but you took meetings at Goldman and Morgan last summer.
229
Which I disclosed to Mr. Sutter.
230
I don't care.
231
You didn't get those jobs because they didn't want you.
232
And now you're pissed off that people under you are making twice your salary, so you went running to the SEC.
233
I already told you I didn't do that.
234
Where were you three nights ago?
235
It was at dinner.
236
You can check.
237
Was it with your old buddy Henry Reese who just happens to play rec league basketball with five SEC lawyers?
238
I haven't seen Henry in six months and I'm getting a little sick and tired of this interrogation.
239
Well, I'm getting sick and tired of assholes like you not taking this thing seriously.
240
What?
241
I didn't say I wasn't taking it seriously.
242
Yeah, I don't give a shit what you said.
243
I give a shit that you start listening to what I'm goddamn telling you
244
because when the SEC gets you on the stand, they're gonna go through your life with a fine-tooth comb.
245
And if you got something to hide, they're gonna find it.
246
I'm sorry.
247
Good.
248
Get the hell out of my sight and send the next asshole in. Have a seat, Jennifer.
249
I just have a few questions, then you can be on your way.
250
I think I'll stand.
251
You're not Jennifer.
252
No, I'm not.
253
I'm not saying another person in here until you tell me what the hell you're doing.
254
I'm doing what I said I was going to do.
255
You said you were going to shake the trees, not burn down the whole forest.
256
Listen to me.
257
No, you listen to me.
258
You're driving my people away, and that ends now.
259
William, I don't think you understand.
260
The sooner the son of a bitch who leaked this thing stops helping them, the better for us.
261
What makes you think whoever it is is going to stop helping them?
262
Look, they handed it in anonymously, which means whoever this asshole is, the one thing they showed us is he's a coward.
263
And the only way to stop a coward is to scare the shit out of him.
264
Well, if winning my case means losing all my employees, then forget about the whole thing.
265
William, we can't stop...
266
That's enough.
267
Instead of looking for someone who did something they already did, you're gonna get back to preparing my defense.
268
And the next time I see you, you'd better be giving the most kick-ass opening statement the world's ever seen.
269
Donna, where the hell is Lewis?
270
He's working on what you wanted.
271
Well, find him, because I need him.
272
Harvey, what's the matter?
273
What's the matter is I just spent the whole day at Sutter's trying to flush out whoever's in on this with him, and I got nowhere.
274
I don't understand.
275
It's gonna take time.
276
This was only one day.
277
Which would be true, except Sutter shut me down, and I don't have another day.
278
And like I said, while I was there, I didn't see a guilty look on a single person's face.
279
Because the person you're looking for doesn't work for William Sutter.
280
Holy .
281
You found him?
282
Didn't just find him.
283
I got backup.
284
The one commonality on all the trades Sutter made money on was they proceeded some sort of transaction involving an investment bank.
285
I know that, but there were 50 different trades with 20 different banks.
286
20 different agent banks.
287
What the hell other kind of bank is there?
288
The kind of bank you hire to give you a second opinion.
289
Holy .
290
The consulting banks.
291
Exactly.
292
Which, by the way, are not required to be disclosed.
293
How many different banks were there?
294
Just one. And
295
that bank's consulting division happens to be run by a man whose first job on Wall Street was working for William Sutter.
296
Sorry to be showing up at your place again, Sean, but this can't wait.
297
That's okay, Harvey.
298
You caught me in a good mood.
299
Well, I'm about to make it better because we found the guy who's been feeding Sutter his information.
300
His name is...
301
Philip Allen.
302
I know.
303
How do you know?
304
He came by to cut a deal two hours ago, so I gave him one.
305
No, you goddamn didn't.
306
What's your problem?
307
My problem is I drove him to you. So what?
308
We're at the finish line, Harvey.
309
This is what we've been after the whole time.
310
This is what you've been after this whole time.
311
What I've been after is getting Mike out.
312
So if you think you can weasel out of this deal after...
313
Harvey.
314
Relax.
315
As far as the SEC is concerned, Mike led directly to the witness who's gonna put that piece of shit away for the rest of his miserable life.
316
So Mike's deal is still intact?
317
Rock solid.
318
We got him, Harvey.
319
The good guys won.
320
Then I guess the next time you see me, I'm gonna be pretending to be outraged that you hadn't notified us of your new witness.
321
And I'll be pretending to be outraged at whatever bullsh you try to hold.
322
Well, I'll try not to be too outrageous.
323
You do that.
324
Thanks, Sean.
325
You're welcome, Harvey.
326
So how does this usually work?
327
Uh, well, usually the trial starts and there's a judge and then, you know, people say things.
328
You've never done this before, have you?
329
Well, I never drove a car before the first time I drove one and I'm still here, aren't I?
330
Oh, this is your first time?
331
I'm your first?
332
No worry, I promise not to be gentle.
333
Frank, it's nice to see you.
334
One last time.
335
Um, if it pleases the court...
336
It pleases the court to decide who speaks and when.
337
Oh, sit down.
338
We're talking about $4,000 in withheld rent payments?
339
Uh, yes, Your Honor, but we have receipts for repairs, lost clothing, as well as...
340
$4,000, yes, Your Honor.
341
Just talking to me.
342
Uh...
343
Why hasn't he paid, counselor?
344
Uh, that one was for you.
345
Uh, bed bugs, Your Honor.
346
I have receipts that show my client's financial outlay to rectify the problem far exceeds the amount.
347
Housing department certified the presence of bed bugs?
348
Uh, yes, Your Honor.
349
Batement.
350
Excuse me.
351
Oh, damn.
352
Yep.
353
Your Honor, this is an eviction hearing.
354
The pertinent question is not habitability, but whether or not rent has been paid.
355
Actually, city code states that rent may be withheld if the warranty of habitability is breached.
356
In that case, we request to see the checks Mr. Ross's client has placed in escrow.
357
The...the...
358
Checks. In escrow.
359
Pending the outcome of a rent abatement hearing?
360
That's not in the code.
361
It is the accepted practice.
362
And therefore binding in this courtroom.
363
Your client did put money in escrow, I assume.
364
I didn't have any money left.
365
I had to pay for him.
366
Your Honor, eviction upheld.
367
But your Honor, he...
368
Did you see me bang the gavel?
369
That means step aside.
370
Next case.
371
You never forget your first.
372
You know what happens to pitchers when they get shelled in rookie league, Mike?
373
Do you think they make it to the bigs?
374
Or do they just end up on some sad American Legion team of has-beens?
375
I get it.
376
I lost.
377
I'm sorry.
378
Well, you're sorry.
379
In that case...
380
I am sorry.
381
Right now I have some research to do for Harvey, so if you'll excuse me.
382
Remember when you stole that client I had you bring in?
383
That was a good time for you, wasn't it?
384
See, I gave you a nothing case so that when you did win, it would still do nothing for your career.
385
But I still expected you to win.
386
So yeah, I guess, go back to your research.
387
Maybe that is your niche.
388
Maybe it is.
389
Karinsky owns five buildings and they all used to be rent controlled
390
but now we go for a million and a half a unit.
391
Nice profit margin.
392
I went to look for housing department complaints in the year prior to his remodel
393
and each one of them tenants who couldn't buy into the conversion ended up with some complaint.
394
Garbage, heat, air, all of them one by one.
395
Karinsky drove them out.
396
You couldn't get their names from housing complaints?
397
No he gave me some names but I need to make this bigger than just his building.
398
Look, I only get one hour off a day for lunch and I never take it.
399
Do you really need me for this?
400
See these people are leaving the building?
401
Mm-hmm.
402
The entire building looks like them.
403
I know I clean up okay, but...
404
Mm, you need me to class you up a bit.
405
Not class, but...
406
Class.
407
Whatever gets you through the door.
408
You ready?
409
Yeah.
410
Hi there.
411
My wife and I are here to see some of the new units.
412
Isn't that right, honey?
413
Mm-hmm.
414
So, Oh, what do you think, sweetheart?
415
It's fine, but I like the place on 52nd better.
416
52nd?
417
That's awful close to your mother.
418
No, no, no. We're not talking about my mother.
419
Look, it doesn't matter to me.
420
I mean, I love being with your mother.
421
I love your mother.
422
So why don't you tell us something about your little building?
423
Well, I think you'll find that not only are the amenities top quality, so are the tenants.
424
That's good to hear.
425
You know, because we're not just looking at buying square footage, but they put down some roots roots.
426
That is such the right way to look at it. Is it?
427
Yes, and I think you'll also find that the people who've bought here, they're like you.
428
They're young, ambitious.
429
Is there a problem?
430
Any other questions I can answer?
431
I'm sorry.
432
My wife here, my beautiful wife, just gets a little paranoid sometimes.
433
You wouldn't believe how long it took her to just go out with me in the first place.
434
Forever.
435
Are there any other tenants who have been here for a while?
436
You know, they might You might be able to show us the ins and outs of the place, the neighborhood.
437
Well, the building was totally renovated two years ago, so most of our tenants are newer.
438
We only reopened in January.
439
But I think there are some of the old tenants who bought in.
440
You think that we might be able to speak to them?
441
Just to be sure.
442
It would really make us feel more comfortable.
443
Ow!
444
This is feisty. So in love.
445
Yes, we are.
446
So in love.
447
Oh, you brought a sack lunch.
448
We would have shared.
449
Amusing.
450
As was this, your little lawsuit.
451
Take your sack of presents and run, kid.
452
You're in way over your head.
453
Oh, I think he'll be just fine.
454
Hello, Vivian.
455
Hello.
456
So the rookie called in the veteran.
457
No, no, I'm just here to watch.
458
I love spectator sports.
459
You enjoy watching the Yankees destroy a little league team?
460
David and Goliath happens to be one of my favorite stories.
461
Okay.
462
I'll bite.
463
What's in the bag?
464
Uh-um.
465
Hey, hey, what are you doing?
466
Oh, do you recognize this carpet?
467
Make him get that out of here.
468
This is your own carpet, Mr. Korinski.
469
It's from Frank Carvello's apartment.
470
Come on.
471
You feel the fibers, the texture?
472
It's almost alive.
473
You brought bed bugs in here.
474
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
475
That's vandalism.
476
Assault.
477
You know, I'm happy that you put it that way, because that's exactly what we're gonna be charging your client with.
478
What are you talking about?
479
He didn't just fail to eradicate a bedbuck infestation.
480
He actually created one.
481
Yeah, he pulled the carpet from one of his old buildings, carpet that was already infested, and then he reinstalled it in my client's apartment to drive him out.
482
That's crazy.
483
You might want to warn your client about perjury.
484
We've got sworn testimony from the installer.
485
And a picture of the same carpet from one of his old buildings before it was renovated.
486
By the way, my wife and I really love what you've done with the place.
487
So it looks like we're talking about, what, assault?
488
Violations of rental codes, health codes, and, you know, just basic codes of human decency.
489
And if a jury in New York hurt all that?
490
Wow, imagine the damages.
491
Harvey, spectate, please.
492
Just get that carpet out of here.
493
So, Vivian, how am I doing for my first time?
494
This still counts as my first time, doesn't it?
495
The fact is, Your Honor, she has no grounds to even issue these things in the first place.
496
What is he even doing here?
497
I'm here because I'm a lawyer and I'm innocent until proven guilty.
498
And those subpoenas aren't about coming after me.
499
They're about coming after him.
500
You're damn right they are, because there's no way he didn't know you're a fraud.
501
Where exactly is your evidence of either one of those things?
502
I see.
503
They're not trying to fight these subpoenas.
504
They're trying to get me to turn over whatever evidence I have, which I don't have to do, for another three weeks.
505
You'll do whatever I say you have to do.
506
Now, I want to know what started this whole thing.
507
We received an anonymous email from a reputable source.
508
Yeah.
509
And a stranger called me the other day saying you killed six people.
510
Can I speak into her bank records?
511
You think this is a joke?
512
You're damn right this isn't a joke.
513
I'm being accused of a crime based on some bullshit email no one's even seen.
514
I'd ask if you have that email on you, Miss Gibbs, but I wouldn't want to put you in the position of lying to me.
515
So let's have it.
516
This is from a general Harvard faculty address.
517
It is.
518
We are working on tracking down the sender.
519
You'd better find them.
520
Because without corroborating testimony, I'll not only quash these subpoenas, I'll toss the entire case.
521
Son of a bitch.
522
It's Henry Girard.
523
Harvey, if Girard was gonna say something, why would he wait until now?
524
I don't know, but it's the only goddamn person it could be.
525
All right, then I'm gonna go and see him.
526
And do what?
527
And do what?
528
You're gonna get to him before Gibbs does get him to recant.
529
This isn't testimony.
530
It's a tip to a crime you actually committed.
531
I don't care.
532
We have leverage on Gerard.
533
Were you in there?
534
This woman has her sights on both of us.
535
You go up to Boston and she's gonna have people crawling all over Harvard
536
and you're gonna be the one who led her to Gerard.
537
I can't just sit here and wait for the sword to drop.
538
Wait a second.
539
You can't go there.
540
I can't go there.
541
But I know someone who can.
542
Rachel, what's going on?
543
I just got a call.
544
They took Donna down to the U.S.
545
Attorney's Office.
546
We have to get down there right now.
547
No, we don't.
548
I'm gonna take care of her.
549
You go ahead and do what we were gonna do together.
550
Harvey, Donna getting taken in changes everything.
551
It changes nothing.
552
So stop talking to me and do what you have to do.
553
It was Henry Gerard.
554
What?
555
The person who handed me in was Henry Gerard.
556
It was an anonymous email.
557
No way.
558
How would he even know that you're not a lawyer?
559
That case we took last year, he figured it out.
560
Well, then why would he wait to turn you in now?
561
I don't know.
562
What I do know is you need to get up there, and you need to get him to take it back.
563
How the hell am I supposed to do that?
564
That's what you and I are going to figure out right now.
565
Wait a second.
566
Where's Harvey?
567
He's got an important meeting.
568
What could be more important than that?
569
Lewis, it's a personal matter.
570
Where is he?
571
They brought Donna in for questioning.
572
God damn it.
573
This is what I was afraid of.
574
I'm heading down there right now.
575
Lewis, listen to me.
576
They're going to try and put pressure on Donna to turn on Harvey.
577
And the best way to make that pressure go away is to make Gerard go away, which can make this whole case go away.
578
Give me the goddamn email.
579
Now, before you go up there, we're gonna...
580
I'm sorry, wait a second.
581
Why would someone who knows you're guilty call you a potential fraud?
582
I don't know.
583
He's trying to cover his ass somewhere.
584
A potential fraud.
585
Bessmirching the sacrosanct name of hallowed Harvard University.
586
Lewis, we really don't have time for this.
587
Please.
588
Like I know who wrote this email.
589
It's not Henry Gerard.
590
Louis.
591
What are you doing here?
592
You know I'm here.
593
I'm here because of this.
594
I don't know what that is.
595
Please, your language is all over it.
596
You might as well have signed your name.
597
What I want to know is why.
598
I got a call about an article on Mike Ross' meteoric rise to junior partner.
599
Problem is, I remember every student that's ever gone here.
600
And there is no Mike Ross.
601
So I double-checked my file room, and then I sent this.
602
Sheila, you're messing with my firm.
603
Why didn't you come to me first?
604
Because it didn't occur to me that I had to.
605
That is bullshit.
606
You reported it anonymously because you didn't want to look bad.
607
You didn't trust me to keep you out of it.
608
No, I reported it anonymously because I was ashamed that it happened on my watch.
609
But I'm not going to stand by while somebody besmirches the good name of Harvard University.
610
You have no proof that Mike Ross besmirched anything.
611
Why are you defending this low life?
612
Because if you'd come to me first, I could have stopped this whole thing from happening.
613
Oh, my God.
614
You knew.
615
Sheila, please.
616
You don't know him like I know him.
617
What exactly are you doing here, Lewis?
618
I want you to retract that email.
619
Tell him that you made a mistake, you found the file.
620
I can't do that.
621
Sheila, please.
622
When we broke up, I forced myself to accept it because ultimately I knew we wanted different things.
623
But it killed me because I also knew that we were soulmates.
624
But the fact that you're asking me to do this...
625
We are not soulmates.
626
I'm begging you.
627
At least don't come forward.
628
I never was gonna come forward, Louis.
629
Now leave me alone.
630
Lewis, what the hell?
631
I've been looking for you all morning.
632
What happened?
633
It was her. And?
634
She's not going to retract the email.
635
Shit.
636
What did she say?
637
What the hell do you think she said?
638
She said she knows you're a fraud.
639
She's not going to take it back.
640
And now that she's figured out that I've been a part of it, she can't stand the sight of me.
641
All right, then we need to think of something else.
642
Oh, did you just hear what I just said?
643
She can't stand the sight of me.
644
Lewis, I know you're feeling bad, but right now Donna is under the gun.
645
What do you want me to do about that?
646
I don't know, but if she doesn't retract that email and they find her...
647
No, they're not gonna find her.
648
Because she sent it from a general faculty email because she's ashamed of herself.
649
Like she's ashamed of me.
650
And this is all your fault, so get the hell out of my office instead of trying to figure out a way to cover your goddamn ass!
651
You can believe this or not, Lewis, but right this second, I'm actually looking out for Donna.
652
I'm sorry Mike.
653
Right this second I cannot help you.
654
What are you doing here?
655
It's a long story but I ended up getting out early.
656
What?
657
What's on your mind?
658
I'm out job hunting all day.
659
Nice.
660
What kind of work?
661
What kind of work?
662
Uh, legal clinics.
663
I want to find a way to get back.
664
Oh, you didn't come here just to tell me that?
665
I came to tell you that every application I filled out today asked if I was a convicted felon.
666
Michael, please tell me that you're not thinking about lying again.
667
No, I'm not.
668
I just don't know what to do.
669
You know, I know that none of these places are going to hire me after seeing I checked that box.
670
You don't know that, Michael.
671
It's the first day.
672
I know I saw 30 different looks on 30 different faces and they all said the same thing.
673
Well, what if I told you I know a place where they won't give you that look?
674
You offering me a teaching job?
675
Yeah.
676
I am.
677
I mean, a legal clinic isn't the only way to get back.
678
Father, I'm not sure if you heard me.
679
I'm a convicted felon.
680
Michael, you came from here.
681
And if we can't offer redemption to one of our own, then...
682
What kind of church are we?
683
I don't know, Father.
684
Father Conroy's going on vacation for two weeks.
685
Just take his classes.
686
See what it's like.
687
The worst thing is you'll realize that this isn't right for you.
688
Hey, everyone.
689
Morning.
690
Most of you are aware Father Conroy is on a well-deserved vacation.
691
I should know.
692
I don't think he's had one since I had him here 15 years ago.
693
I get it.
694
I wouldn't be impressed by me either.
695
I don't know if you guys like movies, but every movie I've ever seen starts with a sub writing his name on the board
696
and kids can throw something at him, so let me get that part out of the way right now.
697
I have a short name, so I'll take my time.
698
Mr. Ross.
699
You guys can call me Mike.
700
Okay, what did you guys come up with?
701
Who did this?
702
Team effort.
703
You think this is funny?
704
No, I sure do.
705
How about you, Chris?
706
Cracks me up that the teacher was in prison last week.
707
Alright, well, now that we've all had our fun, We open up our textbooks.
708
Chapter 7, Battle of Appomattox.
709
You did that yesterday.
710
No, you didn't.
711
Father Walker gave me your syllabus.
712
This is what we're covering today.
713
Come on.
714
Yeah, well, we all forgot our books.
715
Well, then I guess we have no choice but for you to read from mine.
716
I just have one question before I read.
717
You ever drop the soap in the shower?

What You'll Learn from This Sharp Dialogue
This video’s tense conversation is perfect for boosting your english speaking practice. You’ll pick up how to deliver urgent, direct requests—like Mike’s push to get Frank’s help—with confidence. You’ll also learn to navigate tricky negotiations, using phrases like “What if I told you…” to pivot a conversation. Plus, the back-and-forth teaches you to respond to skepticism (“Bullshit”) naturally, a skill that’s key for real-world interactions.
Listen For These Connected Sounds
Native speakers rarely pronounce every word clearly—listen closely for these common reductions and links. In “I take it you're not here,” the “t” in “take it” softens, making it sound like “taykit.” Notice how “got five years” becomes “gotta five years” with a quick link between “got” and “five.” Also, “I don't want to be here” shortens to “I don’t wanna be here,” a classic reduction of “want to” to “wanna.” These small changes make your speech flow like a native’s.
Say It Like a Native: Rhythm and Stress
To master the dialogue’s intensity, focus on shadow speech—repeat the lines aloud right after the speakers, mimicking their rhythm and stress. When Frank says, “You gotta be shitting me,” stress “shitting” to show disbelief. Mike’s urgent “I need your help” puts weight on “need” and “help” to convey desperation. Practice this shadowspeak technique daily, and you’ll start to feel how stress and pauses shape meaning. Remember, the goal isn’t just to copy words—it’s to capture the emotion behind them. Whether you’re practicing alone or with a partner, shadow speak (or shadowspeaks) is a powerful way to make your English sound more natural and confident.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — an action that started earlier and is still going on | I've been looking · who's been feeding |
| Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its result | if you are, I'll take |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | I've seen · I've made · has concluded |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | be said · was arrested · be faced |
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.
