Shadowing Practice: Season 3 Cold Opens That Meant Business | Suits - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
I told you that was our final offer.
2
You did, but the third quarter's about to end, and if you want Darren Williams playing for you in the fourth, this is his number.
3
Even if you had another offer, which you don't, you can't leave in the middle of a game.
4
I was talking about the fourth quarter of game seven when you're looking to lock up a championship, because the question isn't do you want Darren or not, it's do you want a ring or not?
5
You got nothing.
6
And I told you that's my final offer.
7
I guess he'll just have to go bring Darren his new Mavs jersey then.
8
There's no way Mark Cuban pays that much.
9
Why don't you call and ask?
10
Oh, wait.
11
He can't, because he hates you.
12
Bullshit.
13
We may not be blood brothers, but he doesn't hate me.
14
Oh, he does now.
15
Evidently, he found out about that thing from last May.
16
How do you know that?
17
Because I was there when I told him.
18
Yet until 10 a .m., then I'm calling Dallas.
19
And Mark may not take your call, but he'll sure as hell take mine.
20
How do I know you're not going to turn around and get him to pay more?
21
You don't.
22
But if you don't match this, you'll never find out.
23
My friends say it's just a matter of time.
24
Before you leave the hand, before you leave the hand, we leave behind.
25
Oh, no!
26
Using me just like a stone to forget it.
27
That's right.
28
Jessica.
29
Harvey.
30
I don't recall giving you my key.
31
I don't recall authorizing you to negotiate behind Darren Williams' back.
32
His back is just fine.
33
And I'm standing right behind it.
34
Then why is the contract he signed in my hand?
35
How much did you ask for?
36
Triple.
37
You out of your mind?
38
We have leverage.
39
And what is that?
40
It's complicated.
41
Simplify it for me.
42
I bluffed him.
43
That's not leverage.
44
It is if he believes it.
45
And if it fails, he fires us and takes ten other players with him.
46
Then it better not fail.
47
You asked the man for triple.
48
If I had what I said I had, that's what I'd get.
49
I don't ask for triple.
50
He knows I'm bluffing.
51
Then don't bluff in the first place.
52
I'm afraid that's what I do.
53
You know what I think?
54
I think you want it to fail.
55
I think you're stuck with a merger you don't want and a non -compete you can't stand, and you're trying to get me to fire you.
56
I could bust that non -compete wide open.
57
But you gave me your word.
58
Which is why I'm staying.
59
Jessica, I've always operated this way.
60
It's what you hired me for.
61
It's what you pay me for, and it used to be what you valued me for.
62
I'm not going to fire you.
63
Neither is Darren Williams.
64
Nets just caved.
65
So, unless you're looking to cook me breakfast tomorrow, I'd say we're done.
66
I told you I needed time.
67
I know, but it's been two days and I can't take it anymore.
68
I had to see you.
69
I don't want any comments about how messy the place is.
70
Okay, and what would clean look like?
71
Don't even think about it.
72
I can't not think about it, right?
73
It's all I've been able to think about for two days.
74
Mike, why are you here?
75
Because that's not gonna happen.
76
now or ever you lied to me about everything Rachel do you remember
77
when I told you I needed time that's what I needed it for to process this bomb
78
that you dropped on me I had a nightmare
79
you asked why I'm here that's why I
80
you exposed me to the entire firm I would never do that I know
81
but I woke up and I realized that the real nightmare wouldn't even be
82
that that the real nightmare would be if you didn't want to be with me.
83
Do you really mean that?
84
I meant it the first time I ever saw you.
85
Rachel, I know that I'm not who you want me to be, but you know what happened in that room.
86
You know what we both felt.
87
I don't want to lose that.
88
I just keep wishing you never told me.
89
But then it never would have happened. And it did. And I'm...
90
I'm really glad that it did.
91
I am, too.
92
But what happens if you get caught?
93
Because what you had may have been a nightmare, Mike, but you can't tell me you're not afraid of being exposed.
94
Of course I am.
95
But there's nothing that I can do about it.
96
Well, maybe there is.
97
What do you say?
98
Quit.
99
Go in tomorrow.
100
And just quit.
101
there's a harsh reality I need to inform you of
102
and it's a bitter pill to swallow
103
but the truth is a mistake was made fatal mistake
104
and as much as I hate to admit it our time together is done no more work no more laughter remember
105
no more mentorship and um no more anything see i reached too high
106
and i fell and my punishment is the end of my tenure as head of the associates
107
so i would like to leave you with the immortal sentiment of robin williams
108
there have been other associates before you they believed they were destined for great things just like you
109
if you just listen you can hear them whisper their legacy to you carpe diem
110
seize the day people make your legal lives extraordinary oh captain my captain
111
there's a time i would have been relieved to see that no more lewis it's just wrong
112
this whole merger is wrong how'd it go with harvey it didn't did you tell him about jessica yeah
113
he didn't care
114
what i just wish i could give you a hug right now
115
but i can't because we still want to keep us Quiet.
116
Come on.
117
You give me a hug.
118
Something could have happened.
119
Something bad.
120
Like a...
121
My dog could have died.
122
Oh, you have a dog now.
123
I was really close to this dog.
124
Well, the best way to get over the death of a dog is to get a new one.
125
Mm -mm.
126
No. I'm just too upset.
127
I don't know if I'm ready for a new fake dog right now.
128
Okay.
129
Yeah.
130
Just leave me like...
131
How did it go?
132
I don't know.
133
Awful.
134
Probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
135
Louis, we just merged, and I wish I could undo you losing the associates, but I can't.
136
What I can do is take what you've been giving to
137
so many for so long and have you channel it into one.
138
You mean...
139
I want you to mentor your own associate.
140
Finally, the D 'Artagnan to my Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.
141
All for one and one for all.
142
En garde!
143
Sorry.
144
Jessica, wait.
145
I can have anyone?
146
Louis, take your pick of the letter.
147
Good morning, Ms. Paulson.
148
Spit it out.
149
Is that any way to start the day?
150
You want something.
151
I need the 411 on the breakup.
152
Are we in high school?
153
Life is high school, and I need to know if the prom king and his boy Wonder are still an item.
154
What high school did you go to?
155
Donna, it's a simple question.
156
Did Mike and Harvey break a breakup, or did they take a timeout and, like, say to each other, hey, let's see other people and make sure that we're sure.
157
I see what's going on here.
158
Jessica feels sorry for you so she's given you your pick of the litter
159
And now you're sniffing around here trying to put the moves on Mike behind Harvey's back No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I would never do that No, that's why I'm here to ask permission So ask him Well,
160
I think it might go better coming from a different source You want me to ask him?
161
Yeah, would you please?
162
No Why?
163
Because it'll be so much more fun for me to listen to you ask him Well, let me get this straight You want my permission to take Mike and force him to be your associate No,
164
I would never force him to do anything It has to be consensual Not like Sally Jones at senior prom.
165
Wait a second.
166
Did you just admit to a crime?
167
No. A crime was committed upon me.
168
Okay, I don't want to, but I have to.
169
What crime?
170
My mom felt bad for Sally, so she forced me to take her.
171
What was so bad about her?
172
She had four nipples.
173
Okay, if that date was so bad, I mean, how did you find that out?
174
Okay, you know what, Harvey?
175
Do I have your blessing or not?
176
Knock yourself out Lewis see no no no no no no you're just saying
177
that because you think he's gonna say no Oh, I know he'll say no. Well, I know you're wrong So you better think about this very carefully because once permission is given you cannot go back
178
Speak now forever hold your peace Fine he's yours.
179
I'm sure you two will be very happy together good
180
Because when I'm done with him Mike Ross will be begging to be my associate I
181
Don't accept don't accept what whatever bull apology you're here to give me you gave me your word
182
and the second you found out
183
that mike was actually going to say yes you couldn't stand
184
it you sold me out i'm not here to give you
185
an apology i'm here to give you a case those are
186
the hessington oil files yeah you know what harvey i don't want your sloppy seconds
187
that takeover attempt's going to be dead in the water the second
188
that ava hessington settlement goes public tony giannopolis isn't going to just sell his shares
189
and go away no you're right you know what he's going to do he's going to leverage his position
190
and he's going to get as much green mail as he can which is exactly why i'm here
191
You're better suited to beat him back than I am.
192
You think I don't know that?
193
I know you know it.
194
I want you to know I know it.
195
Leave the box.
196
Lewis, have you given any thought to a rebound associate?
197
Harvey, come on.
198
You know I'm not that kind of guy.
199
Come on.
200
Have him file a few interrogatories, Maybe pick up your dry cleaning, and then you cut them loose.
201
Like no strings attached?
202
Better men than you have done it.
203
Now, yep. Who, Baird?
204
A week -long fling I ended six days too late.
205
Yeah, but Harvey, I don't just want a superficial relationship, you know?
206
I want a true mentee.
207
Someone I could take to the gun club or mudding or to the origami festival.
208
Lewis, you're gonna find the right one.
209
Origami festival?
210
Oh, my God.
211
Respect yourself!
212
I need to respect yourself!
213
Well, this is a surprise.
214
What?
215
I just never thought I'd see the great Harriet Spector making her own copies.
216
Is that what this thing does?
217
You've never made a copy in your life before, have you?
218
Of course not.
219
I'm too busy being a badass.
220
I'm worrying about my hair.
221
And your brilliant associate, Michelle Ross, does all the hard work for you anyway.
222
You're goddamn right she does.
223
I'm really sorry for what I said about having a life.
224
I know. So we're good?
225
We're good.
226
And you and Mike, you're good?
227
Do you really think that Harvey had an emotional epiphany on his own?
228
So you did forgive him?
229
Yes.
230
But he doesn't know that.
231
Which is why I have a triple whip, double fat, extra shot mocha latte. With caramel.
232
Fair enough.
233
But maybe it's time you told him.
234
So you've decided not to go back to London?
235
Well, we have someone finished business to discuss, and I thought it best to do it in person.
236
The takeover attempt.
237
Tony Gianopolis.
238
Well, I've assigned it to another attorney, but before you express any concern, he's excellent.
239
Well, not only do I not have concerns, I'm glad you've handed it off.
240
And why is that?
241
Because that way I know you'll trust the man you're overseeing when you come and work for me.
242
I have to say I'm flattered.
243
I don't want you to be flattered.
244
I want you to say yes.
245
As much success as I've had with that line myself, I'm afraid I'm not an oil man.
246
The oil business is about oil as much as you being a lawyer is about the law.
247
Every day is a knife fight in a prison yard, and something tells me you like a good knife fight.
248
No rules in a knife fight.
249
Harvey, I've just lost my number two.
250
I can't think of anyone better to replace him.
251
Ava.
252
I'm a woman who gets what I want, and I am willing to pay for it.
253
Don't get me wrong.
254
I'm happy to harm myself out.
255
I just prefer to have more than one client.
256
Harvey, what a coincidence.
257
Cameron, I'm surprised you can afford this place now that you're unemployed again.
258
Well, my temporary gig isn't over just yet.
259
You may think you have them fooled Cameron, but they'll figure you out eventually.
260
You didn't.
261
What are you talking about?
262
Ava Hessington, you're under arrest.
263
What?
264
On what charge?
265
Conspiracy to commit murder.
266
This is bullshit, Cameron.
267
We had a deal.
268
A deal where your client admitted to bribing a foreign official.
269
That colonel that she paid off?
270
After that, six people were killed by his troops.
271
I give my driver a tip, and then he runs over someone.
272
Doesn't mean I had anything to do with it.
273
But if the person he hit was me, sure would look like that.
274
What the hell are you talking about?
275
All six people did whatever they could to stop your client from getting her pipeline.
276
If that's all you got, you don't have shit.
277
She did this, Harvey.
278
You don't know her.
279
Yeah, but I know you.
280
You don't give a damn about murder in some foreign country.
281
You took this case to stick it to me.
282
And I did.
283
She admitted that was a bribe because she never thought we would tie her to those deaths, and now I got her.
284
And you didn't see it coming?
285
There's nothing you can do about it.
286
What is she doing here?
287
She's my new associate.
288
So that's why you made the video.
289
You seem upset that she led you to believe
290
that she was trying to befriend you when it turned out she was going to betray you.
291
Lewis.
292
You got a problem with that?
293
No, no problem.
294
Not as long as your daddy's here.
295
Do I have to have another talk with you?
296
You had a talk with you?
297
Yes, but I didn't feel the need to run to you to protect me.
298
Second choice never does.
299
I can't believe it's up to me to be the adult in the room.
300
Maybe it's time we get down to business.
301
Good, because the first order of business is discussing what to do following Ava's statement.
302
She's not making a statement.
303
Yes, she is.
304
Ava makes a statement.
305
Cameron's going to be all over it.
306
Cameron Dennis isn't the problem right now.
307
The problem is Ava Hessington isn't a credible CEO.
308
The problem is she's on trial for murder.
309
And public perception says that she's as guilty as Jean Valjean with a loaf of bread in his pants.
310
And in case you're not up on current events, we're facing a vote for control of her company in two days.
311
Talking under threat makes her look desperate.
312
And not talking makes her look either guilty or incompetent.
313
We need to send the message to Wall Street that she's in control and she's got nothing to hide.
314
This is a meeting about how to keep Ava's company without endangering her murder defense.
315
Did it ever occur to you that if she's cold enough to kill off opposition to her pipeline, she's cold enough to pull offline to the press?
316
I mean, we all know she did this, right?
317
This isn't open for discussion.
318
She's not saying a word.
319
I'm afraid it's too late.
320
What did you do?
321
She's on her way to an interview right now.
322
It'll run in the journal and it'll blow Giannopolis and his takeover attempt out of the water.
323
Connolly.
324
Mr. Connolly, I do apologize, but I'm afraid we have to change the location of our interview.
325
Who is this?
326
Miss Hessington's assistant.
327
Well, I spoke to her assistant this morning.
328
Yes, Rebecca handles Miss Hessington's schedule.
329
I handle her life.
330
Why, so I'm supposed to traipse all over town because of what she prefer?
331
Not prefer, insist.
332
Insist?
333
I'm giving her a forum to tell her side of the story.
334
An exclusive forum, which needn't be the case.
335
Now, make no mistake, Mr. Connolly, Miss Hessington is the one doing the favor here.
336
So if you'd like to speak with her, my driver here would be more than happy to take you to her.
337
Or if you would prefer to call Rebecca, I'm sure she'll be able to set something up for you sometime, say, next December.
338
Go ahead and order.
339
Connelly's running a little late.
340
He should get here at 10 past.
341
You're not giving an interview.
342
I wasn't trying to keep this from you.
343
He didn't exactly CC me on the memo.
344
Very well.
345
You want the truth?
346
I don't particularly appreciate being muzzled.
347
I suggest you don't think of it as muzzled
348
so much as keeping you out of jail for the rest of your life.
349
And what would you have me do, Harvey?
350
Take a week in St. Bart's?
351
Because that is not going to happen.
352
No, that's not gonna happen.
353
You're on trial for murder.
354
And because of that, a tender offer has been made on a company with my family name.
355
And with all that going on, the fact that I haven't made a statement defending myself is bullshit.
356
It's not bullshit.
357
It's smart.
358
Of course you see it that way.
359
You think I'm guilty.
360
I've told you before, it doesn't matter what I think.
361
But if you think saying you're innocent is going to make people believe you, it won't.
362
Because you know who says they're innocent?
363
Everybody.
364
Every day I keep my mouth shut, our stock takes a dive.
365
And that makes me vulnerable.
366
I get it.
367
You want to convince the world you're not responsible for these murders so you can keep control of your big oil company.
368
That is not what I said.
369
Well, that's how Cameron Dennis is gonna make it sound.
370
Ava, you're on trial for your life.
371
This company is my life.
372
And that's exactly what it's gonna look like.
373
A greedy oil exec clinging to her money factory with her blood -stained hands.
374
Very well.
375
You've made your point.
376
Now, I suggest you find a way to get me out of both situations
377
because I am not losing control of my company to Tony Giannopolis.
378
Please tell me you're calling me because you've been kidnapped.
379
I'm not the one who disappeared.
380
I told you, I had a thing. At 1.
381
It's 1 .45.
382
And it's called a lunch hour, Harvey.
383
60 whole minutes, which my teeth deserve.
384
You fit the dentist in at lunch?
385
He can be surprisingly quick, yet remarkably thorough.
386
Donna, Judge Atkins is ready to hear my motion for summary judgment, which she won't do if there aren't two copies of that motion in my hands in ten minutes.
387
All right, here's what you're going to do.
388
Go to my computer and press print.
389
Pick the motions up off the printer, then walk over to the corner, throw everything in the trash because there's already two copies on your desk at this very moment.
390
So, the trash can's in the corner then.
391
Bye.
392
You had a thing.
393
Well, two things.
394
But who's counting?
395
What did he want, anyway?
396
I thought we agreed not to talk about work at lunch.
397
Yeah, we did, but we also agreed to have lunch at lunch.
398
Yeah, you're right.
399
It's just that I've always made it my business, knowing about things.
400
And you're good at your business?
401
Mm, business is good.
402
Oh, some might say booming.
403
Listen, we've only got 15 minutes left, If so, I'll endeavor to be surprisingly quick.
404
As long as you continue to be remarkably thorough.
405
Your Honor, you said you would dismiss this case if he couldn't produce evidence beyond the bribery tape.
406
Well, he couldn't.
407
We found five witnesses that tie the man that Ava Hessinkin bribed on that tape to the murders.
408
And those witnesses refuse to come forward.
409
If we can't confront them, then their statements are inadmissible.
410
Just because they won't come forward doesn't mean they don't exist.
411
He's right.
412
Their statements may be inadmissible, but I can't ignore the fact that they were made.
413
Well, in that case, we move for an expedited trial.
414
Ten seconds ago, he was moving for a dismissal.
415
And in the ten seconds since, public opinion of my client has gone down even further.
416
She's a murderer.
417
How much lower can it go?
418
Well, you tell me.
419
You leaked evidence to Tony Giannopoulos that lost her her company.
420
You might leak it to anyone.
421
Your Honor, we've been down this road before.
422
It's called bullsh highway.
423
All dragging this out does is delay Ava Hessington the opportunity to vindicate herself.
424
It also conveniently gives me less time to build my case.
425
The case you just argued was solid enough to go to trial?
426
You're letting your mini -me make your arguments for you now?
427
You're letting your mustache...
428
Enough.
429
The trial starts a week from Monday.
430
Get out.
431
You still haven't told Harvey about Stephen?
432
I went to tell him, but he was in a bad mood, and then somehow I ended up telling him that I made some copies for Stephen, and he got really pissed.
433
I mean, what's he gonna do when he finds out about this?
434
Oh, but I thought you said that you two had never... So?
435
So I get why he doesn't want to share you.
436
You hear yours everything here.
437
But what you're doing with Stephen isn't here.
438
It's there.
439
Two completely different things.
440
Then why did you tell me I had to tell him?
441
To let him know that you are there and his here can coexist in the same place.
442
I liked it better when we talked about you and Mike.
443
I'm sure you did.
444
So, are you two going to keep?
445
Yes.
446
It is some of the best damn yoga I've had in a long time.
447
Well, sooner or later he's going to find out because it is all over your face.
448
Oh, please.
449
You're a woman.
450
Men are oblivious.
451
Something different about you.
452
what is it yes please tell the man what it is nothing lewis i've just been doing some yoga no
453
that's not it you're practically glowing tell me your secret i i don't think
454

456
myself lewis okay well promise me you keep doing whatever it is you're doing i think she can do
457
that no i'm serious donna morning noon and night five times a day if necessary i will do my best
458
well we did our best our best wait a minute you never expected this case to get dismissed
459
why would i ask for it
460
because she was more likely to grant an expedited trial after
461
saying no to a dismissal now cameron's got a case to
462
try with no evidence in less than two weeks to get anymore wait a second what
463
if they didn't just have to scramble for new evidence what
464
if they had to scramble for a whole new lawyer any
465
lawyer who got assigned this case with only two weeks to
466
go would drop the whole thing unless they had a personal beef with you
467
which they wouldn't there's only one way to get Cameron thrown
468
off this case Ruby colluded with Giannopolis turn bullshit highway into
469
fact highway fact highway yeah you know it's right next to
470
I don't want to talk about this anymore Lane we're gonna have to talk about how to prove they colluded
471
because we have a chance to get rid of this murder charge once
472
and for all you look happy do i why i don't
473
know donna it's hard to explain all right i'll tell you mccano finally slept in my bed last night and
474
when i woke up this morning it felt like the whole
475
world was hugging me i lost nine ounces my teeth whiteners
476

477
and to top it all off i just found out Not that Esther broke her foot in three places.
478
Your sister?
479
Yeah, crutches for seven months.
480
Serves her right.
481
Dad's favorite.
482
Hmm.
483
I need a day.
484
Don Perignon's on ice and Bloomberg's closing Broadway for the ticker tape parade.
485
You saw the sign?
486
Yeah.
487
Dream come true for any lawyer.
488
I don't have dreams.
489
I have goals.
490
Now it's on to the next one.
491
when did you find out last night why didn't you tell
492
me i shouldn't have to meaning meaning your focus hasn't been where it usually is okay meaning
493
that my focus has been on steven
494
if that's what you mean then just say it just admit
495
that it bothers you about me and him i'm not admitting anything
496
because there's nothing to admit and steven
497
or not you know as well as i do i've never had to tell you a thing.
498
You've always just known.
499
You've had too much coffee.
500
What are you talking about?
501
After two cups, your signature slants.
502
After three, it scrawls.
503
And after four, it's chicken scratch.
504
They're not going to accept these.
505
You're crazy.
506
How many cups have you had today?
507
Five.
508
How'd you do that?
509
It's what I do.
510
I read.
511
I analyze.
512
I fix.
513
Bullshit.
514
You're wearing a blue shirt, which means you won You missed a spot shaving, which means you had less than five hours of sleep,
515
and your left wrist, which you claim you sprained playing basketball, still hasn't healed because your loud tie is hanging ever so slightly to the left.
516
Loud, by the way, because you won big in poker last night.
517
For your information, I didn't lose sleep just because of poker.
518
Yeah, you did.
519
Melanie's not in the picture anymore.
520
You knew about Melanie? And Charlotte. And Nadia.
521
I don't want you working for me anymore.
522
Harvey, stop playing footsie with your secretary.
523
The McKenzie brothers are here.
524
We need to get these assholes to cave.
525
I had an idea.
526
Night owl murders.
527
We're not using an idea you got from L .A.
528
Confidential.
529
How is that different from you shooting a dead guy just because Sean Connery did it in The Untouchables?
530
What are you prepared to do?
531
Is this supposed to be Sean Connery?
532
Don't even think that you can do Connery better than me.
533
Junior.
534
He's a lying member of an old good race.
535
He's up, James Bond.
536
So, you gonna come out and say it?
537
Say what?
538
All those observations.
539
You're into me.
540
I'm not into you.
541
I'm Donna.
542
What's that supposed to mean?
543
It means I could do the same thing with Bertha that I did with you.
544
All that means is that you're into Bertha, too.
545
What if I am?
546
We can have a threesome.
547
Trust me, if you were ever lucky enough to have me, you wouldn't want to share.
548
Dude, are you going to share that shit with me or what?
549
Negatory.
550
Mm -hmm.
551
All right, you can have some, but take it easy.
552
It's going to last until tomorrow.
553
I thought you had three ounces.
554
I sold it.
555
Daddy's got to eat.
556
Wait a minute, you're dealing now?
557
We're friends and family, asshole.
558
What are you, AT &T?
559
What are you, the FCC?
560
You don't even know what that is.
561
Yes, I do.
562
Really?
563
Tell me what they do.
564
I'll give you $500.
565
You're a dick.
566
A dick who just got a hundred on his calc midterm.
567
You got the results back already?
568
No, but trust me, a hundred.
569
You know who else thinks you're a dick?
570
That math test.
571
Well, that's fine, because I just made it my bitch.
572
Up top, motherfucker!
573
Whoa, you gonna leave me hanging?
574
Like you're gonna leave me hanging?
575
You got a Harvard dickhead.
576
They accepted my transfer.
577
Yeah, they did.
578
You goddamn shit.
579
Wait a minute.
580
You read my mail?
581
What's the point of going through it if I'm not going to read it?
582
I hate you.
583
Holy shit, dude.
584
We gotta celebrate.
585
Yeah.
586
Those douchebags over at AE Pie are having a party.
587
It's on.
588
It's still on.
589
There's a reason Cameron hasn't raised the white flag with Ava yet.
590
What is it?
591
I was filing our motion to dismiss when I noticed his office faxed the court from the Waldorf Astoria.
592
He's been booking rooms all over Manhattan, and turns out two days ago, he also called in the U .S.
593
Marshals.
594
Protective custody.
595
20 men strong.
596
Shit.
597
This case isn't over.
598
He's got another goddamn witness.
599
You know, you might just be the perfect man.
600
He's just coming to realize I know.
601
Donna, I need a minute alone with Steven.
602
Is it just a minute or do I need to get a cab?
603
It won't take long, but the rest is up to you.
604
Well, I'm guessing you're not here to join us for dessert.
605
You called Colonel Wariga.
606
Yeah.
607
I called him.
608
call him to find out what Cameron Dennis had offered him and to suggest that he could do better.
609
You mean you called him to offer him a bribe?
610
Doesn't matter.
611
Dennis was bluffing.
612
He never had him in the first place.
613
He didn't, but he does now because of you.
614
You're saying he traced my call?
615
You're damn right I am.
616
And you're angry with me.
617
You're supposed to be looking out for Ava.
618
If I didn't know any better, I'd think that you were working for Cameron Dennis.
619
And by the way, the man is in hiding.
620
His own country can't find him.
621
How the hell did you?
622
Same way you would.
623
You know people here.
624
I know people everywhere.
625
Well, calling those people just screwed us.
626
I called them Harvey because you were doing nothing.
627
I was doing nothing because he had nothing.
628
And then I had the tape thrown out, and he had less than nothing.
629
Then he threw a Hail Mary, and you just caught it.
630
If he found Mariga by tapping my phones, the judge will throw him out.
631
You think we're going to be able to prove that that's how he found him?
632
You want to carry on yelling at me, or should we fix this?
633
You know, I've had about enough of your fixer crap, okay?
634
You didn't fix st.
635
You broke it wide open.
636
Then what the hell are you doing here?
637
I'm here to tell you that if I hear your name around my case again, I am going to beat the shit out of you.
638
You told him you were going to beat the shit out of him?
639
Yeah, and that's the last time I'm going to tell him anything.
640
What?
641
You think I wouldn't do it?
642
No, I'm not sure you could do it.
643
What, is he going to hit me with his ascot?
644
Harvey, the man plays rugby.
645
That's no joke.
646
How do you even know that?
647
It's on the Derby International website.
648
Oh, I don't give you enough work.
649
And I'm going to change that right now.
650
Cameron's not denying us access to Moriga, which means he's going to sing any song Cameron wants to avoid a firing squad.
651
I need to find anything I can to take Moriga apart.
652
What the hell is this?
653
I'll tell you what it is.
654
It's a witness list from Cameron Dennis with Colonel Moriga on it.
655
And he's giving us access, which means he's not bluffing.
656
I know.
657
You told me he didn't have him.
658
He didn't.
659
Then how the hell did he get him?
660
Stephen.
661
He was trying to fix it.
662
Are you telling me you let Stephen Huntley lead Cameron directly to the Star Witness?
663
I didn't let Stephen do shit.
664
He did it on his own.
665
He's your guy.
666
You aligned with him.
667
I did not.
668
Okay, he's Edward Darby's guy.
669
You made a deal with Darby that makes him your guy.
670
You really want to do this right now?
671
Are you telling me he doesn't know?
672
You know I know.
673
You and I had this conversation once and you know where my loyalties lie.
674
And as for your point, Steven is only here at all because you made a deal with Darby in the first place.
675
And I told you, I don't want mine anymore.
676
Then I guess I'm still in charge.
677
And since I've now been drafted onto this case, no one tells Edward Darby or Steven Huntley a goddamn thing.
678
Does anyone in this room have a problem with that?
679
Tell me he looks worse.
680
He does. Are you hurt?
681
No, I'm fine.
682
I hope you didn't do that because of me.
683
It was a fight, Donna, not a duel.
684
How could I not have...
685
Listen to me.
686
Steven betrayed us all.
687
No, you don't understand, Harvey.
688
I was with him.
689
And he was capable of something like that, and I didn't even see it.
690
You know, I'm supposed to...
691
Donna!
692
It's okay.
693
Just tell me you're gonna make him pay.
694
He'll pay.
695
Let's not talk about it.
696
Talk about what?
697
What do you need me to do?
698
I need you to keep going with everything you have to impeach Marika's testimony.
699
What about the stuff on Steven?
700
Not yet.
701
Why not?
702
Because we don't have proof.
703
The trial's in two days.
704
We should bring Ava in and tell her.
705
Not yet.
706
Why not?
707
Because we don't have proof.
708
Harvey, we have to do something.
709
And how would that conversation go?
710
Hi, Ava.
711
Turns out one of the lawyers from our firm is trying to frame you for a crime he committed.
712
But right now, we're not sure we can do anything about it.
713
What are you going to do?
714
I'm going to go home, get a good night's sleep, and then tomorrow I'm going to find out what the whole story is.
715
Ari, Stephen isn't going to tell you what the whole story is.
716
No, but there's someone else who can.
717
You knew this case was heading your way before you ever came after us.
718
That's why you wanted to merge.
719
Yes, it is, and I regret this situation as much as you do, but what's done is done.
720
Is that what you told Stephen when you found out he did it?
721
Found out?
722
How did we know he didn't order it?
723
Because I am giving you my word.
724
Why should we trust a man who sent Steven over here to cover his ass?
725
I sent Steven over here because I care about Ava.
726
which is why I sent him to the EIR in the first place.
727
I had no idea he would do what he did, and I have been trying to fix it ever since.
728
Then fix it right now.
729
And how exactly can I do that?
730
By stating in court Stephen acted alone without Ava's knowledge.
731
I can't.
732
Why not?
733
Because he never told me.
734
And you never asked because you never wanted to know.
735
You piece of sh.
736
You care about Ava so much.
737
How could you do this to her?
738
I wasn't doing anything to her.
739
I was trying to do something for her.
740
Remind me never to ask you for any favors.
741
Well, I'm not asking for a favor.
742
But you are going to agree to do something right now.
743
And what is that?
744
It's not going to work.
745
I cut you off to get your attention.
746
Well, you have it.
747
Good.
748
Because I just have one question for you.
749
How can you live with yourself?
750
What?
751
You know what?
752
I don't have any questions for you.
753
I just came in here to let you know that you make me sick.
754
Obviously, I hurt you, Donna, and I never meant to do that.
755
Oh, you didn't hurt me.
756
You just made me somebody who slept with a murderer.
757
Murderer?
758
I don't know what you think, you know, but those people that were killed were terrorists.
759
They were people who lived on top of something that you wanted.
760
People who had guns, murderers, Donna.
761
Now, if you're so appalled by how business is done, may I suggest that you return all of your designer clothes that you look so ravishing in?
762
Because they're paid for by the dirty work this firm does.
763
We don't kill people.
764
You mean chemical companies that Harvey represents or car companies that Harvey defends?
765
How about insurance providers whose claims he helps deny?
766
Don't bring him into this.
767
He's always been in this.
768
You know what?
769
I've had enough of this.
770
I didn't really cut off your shit to get your attention.
771
I cut it off because you don't need it anymore.
772
You're fired.
773
Darby would never allow that.
774
Edward Darby signed your pink slip an hour ago.
775
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.
