I want those names, Mike.
186
You owe me that much.
187
I don't owe you a damn thing.
188
All of this, falling apart like this, is on you.
189
Wow.
190
Wow!
191
Oh, that's some kind of logic right there, Mike.
192
You screw up, get yourself followed by the DEA, and now suddenly this is all my fault.
193
Why don't you walk me through this, Mike?
194
We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch.
195
We had Fring.
196
We had a lab.
197
We had everything we needed.
198
It all ran like clockwork.
199
You could have shut your mouth, cooked, and made as much money as you ever needed.
200
It was perfect, but no, you just had to blow it up.
201
Shut up, you and your pride and your ego.
202
You just had to be the man.
203
If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now.
204
I'm sorry.
205
I'm sorry.
206
I'm sorry.
207
I just
208
realized that Lydia has the names I can get them from.
209
I'm sorry, Mike.
210
This whole thing could have been avoided.
211
Shut the fuck up.
212
Let me die in peace.
213
Hank, nothing can change what just happened,
214
But you can walk out of here alive if you just promise us that you'll let this go.
215
Yeah, I thought as much.
216
Sorry, man.
217
Just no scenario where this guy lives.
218
No, no, no, listen!
219
I have money!
220
I have money!
221
It's buried down here.
222
It's...
223
It's $80 million.
224
80 million.
225
So that's what got this party started, huh?
226
But this money of yours won't do me much good in prison.
227
You can go anywhere.
228
You can do anything.
229
Think about it.
230
You can have any future that you want.
231
Jack.
232
80. Million!
233
And all you've got to do...
234
is let him go.
235
That's a hell of an offer.
236
What do you think, Fed?
237
Would you take that deal?
238
It's Hank.
239
His name is Hank.
240
How about it, Hank?
241
Should I let you go?
242
My name is Asak Schrader.
243
You can go fuck yourself.
244
Hank, listen to me.
245
You gotta tell him.
246
You gotta tell him now that we can work this out.
247
Please.
248
Please.
249
What?
250
You want me to beg?
251
You're the smartest guy I ever met.
252
And you're too stupid to see.
253
He made up his mind ten minutes ago.
254
Do what you're gonna do.

Step-by-Step Shadowing Guide for This Video

Shadow speech (or shadow speak) is a proven technique to improve English pronunciation and fluency, and this video’s dynamic dialogue is ideal for practice. Here’s how to tackle it:

  1. Listen and Analyze: Watch the video once to grasp the context and emotion. Note pauses, volume changes, and stress on words like "Rata" or "Hank"—these convey meaning beyond the text.
  2. Break It Down: Split the dialogue into 5-10 second clips. Use a shadowing app to replay each segment, pausing to mimic the speaker’s rhythm and intonation. Focus on short phrases like "Oh, shit" to master natural delivery.
  3. Repeat with Purpose: Shadow each clip 3-5 times, prioritizing accuracy over speed. Pay attention to connected speech, such as "What a reputation" (where "what a" blends into "whata").
  4. Record and Compare: Record your shadowing and compare it to the original. Notice differences in stress or pacing—this helps refine pronunciation for IELTS speaking practice or real-world interactions.
  5. Integrate into Daily Use: Take the phrases you’ve learned and use them in role-plays or casual conversations. This bridges the gap between practice and real communication.

By focusing on these steps, you’ll not only improve your pronunciation but also learn to convey emotion and intent—skills that set confident speakers apart.

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.
