1
How the hell did you know they were to the police?
2
I read this novel in elementary school.
3
Um, cops are staking out a hotel.
4
One of them dresses as a bellhop.
5
The other is a man in a suit.
6
And it was the exact same thing.
7
You read a novel in elementary school?
8
What?
9
I like to read.
10
And why'd you ask them what time it was?
11
Uh, throw them off.
12
I mean, what kind of drug dealer asks a cop what time it is
13
when he's got a briefcase full of pot, right?
14
We should hire you.
15
Jesus, I'd give you the 25 grand as a signing bonus.
16
I'll take it.
17
Unfortunately, we only hire from Harvard, and you not only did not go to Harvard Law School, you haven't even gone to any law school.
18
What if I told you that I consume knowledge like no one you've ever met, and I've actually passed the bar?
19
I'd say you're full of crap.
20
That's a Barbary legal handbook right there, right?
21
Open it up.
22
Read me something.
23
Anything.
24
Civil liability associated with agency is based on several factors, including the deviation of the agent from his path, the reasonable inference of agency on behalf of the plaintiff,
25
and the nature of the damages themselves.
26
How did you know that?
27
I learned it when I studied for the bar.
28
Okay, hot shot.
29
Fire up this laptop.
30
I'm gonna show you what a Harvard attorney can do.
31
Pick a topic.
32
Stock option backdating.
33
Although backdating options is legal, violations arise related to disclosures under IRC section 409A.
34
You forgot about Sarbanes -Oxley.
35
The statute of limitations renders Sarbanes -Oxley moot post -2007.
36
Well, not if you can find actions to cover up the violation as established in the Sixth Circuit, May 2008.
37
It's impressive, but you're sitting at a computer.
38
Playing hearts.
39
Sorry, if you want to beat me, you're gonna have to do it at something else.
40
How can you know all that?
41
I told you, I like to read.
42
And once I read something, I understand it.
43
And once I understand it, I never forget it.
44
Why take the bar?
45
This dickhead bet me I couldn't pass it without going to law school.
46
Okay, look, this is all pretty fascinating stuff, but I'm afraid I gotta get back to work.
47
I'll make sure that Serpico isn't around waiting for you.
48
You want this job so much, why don't you just go to law school?
49
When I was in college, it was my dream to be a lawyer.
50
I needed some money.
51
And Trevor convinced me to memorize this math test and sell it.
52
Turns out we sold it to the dean's daughter.
53
I lost my scholarship.
54
I got kicked out of school.
55
I...
56
I got knocked into a different life.
57
And I have been wishing for a way back ever since.
58
Let me tell you something.
59
This isn't elementary school.
60
This is hard work, long hours, high pressure.
61
I need a grown goddamn man.
62
You give me this, and I will work as hard as it takes to school those Harvard douches
63
and become the best lawyer you have ever seen.
64
I'm inclined to give you a shot, but what if I decide to go another way?
65
I'd say that's fair.
66
Sometimes I'd like to hang out with people who aren't that bright, you know, just to see how the other half lives.
67
Move over.
68
I'm emailing the firm I just found, our next associate.
69
And finally, this is where you'll live.
70
Wow.
71
I gave you that for a reason you haven't taken one note.
72
It's because...
73
Because you were too busy ogling me to listen to a word I've said.
74
Partners' offices anchor the wings.
75
Fifth floor is research.
76
Six is security.
77
All work gets billed, even if it's finding an address.
78
I answer to Harvey and Louis Litt, and judging by the way you responded to my questions, I should admire Harvey and I should fear Louis.
79
You have been here for five years, and just because I outrank you does not mean I have the authority to command your services.
80
Oh, it's also pretty clear that you think you're too smart to be a paralegal.
81
You know what nobody likes?
82
Nobody likes a show -off.
83
You used the word ogling.
84
I mean...
85
When do I get to see Harvey?
86
All right, hold on.
87
Bye.
88
I'll call you.
89
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
90
Nah.
91
It's okay.
92
You don't have to apologize.
93
I took care of it.
94
Patent claim.
95
I negotiated a deal to get it done.
96
What are you talking about?
97
Gregory.
98
He agreed to file it for me.
99
And all I have to do is proof his Bainbridge briefs.
100
Ah.
101
That explains why he said to give you this.
102
And why he called you a sucker.
103
You call me a what now?
104
Like Ross, allow me to introduce the Bainbridge briefs. Which deck?
105
All of them.
106
Wait a minute, are these all...
107
Still printing?
108
Yeah.
109
I give it about a half hour.
110
Oh.
111
It's six printers, 23 pages a minute, 30 minutes.
112
That's 4 ,140 pages.
113
Plus all of this, which means the next time you negotiate a deal, I would suggest to get your facts straight.
114
Uh...
115
I am a sucker. When did that happen?
116
You wanted to see me?
117
Sit down.
118
I looked for your work on the Bainbridge briefs.
119
Spectacular.
120
You caught the discrepancies between listed assets and potential assets.
121
That had a huge impact, Mike.
122
Yeah, I know.
123
Millions.
124
But anyone would have caught that, right?
125
Out of the 50 associates that are under my purview, not one of them would have caught that.
126
You just have this eye for detail, Mike.
127
I mean, I wonder why Harvey's so crazy about you.
128
It's amazing.
129
I mean, I really, really seriously appreciate that.
130
Hey, thank you, Louis.
131
That's nice.
132
You know that I pick a pony out of the herd every year, don't you?
133
A pony?
134
Oh, yeah.
135
Someone who shows potential.
136
Stamp my own little brand on him.
137
Mmm.
138
Are you that pony, Mike?
139
I work for Harvey. As you should.
140
Good.
141
Well, listen, I have some work to get to, so maybe we can, uh, meet for lunch tomorrow at the club, say, 1 p .m.?
142
Uh, you know, tomorrow...
143
I know I just posed that as a question, but I really didn't mean it that way.
144
Robert Stensland.
145
I'd like you to meet your new associate, Mike Ross.
146
We're not paying him what we pay you.
147
Nor should you, but I assure you he's highly effective.
148
Well, I'll believe it when I see it.
149
I had him read your corporate lease last week.
150
Ask him anything.
151
That's a 300 -page document.
152
Okay, what are the terms?
153
Okay, I have no idea what you're talking about.
154
And, let's see, was the parent company Glendon Enterprises?
155
35 ,000 square feet at 19 West 57th, $80 a foot.
156
Expires in six months with an option to extend.
157
Exercisable in 30 days. Who signed the lease?
158
You did.
159
What's my middle name?
160
The letter L.
161
What happens in the event the company no longer exists?
162
That wasn't in the lease.
163
How can you be sure?
164
Because the lease I read wasn't 300 pages it was $364, and I could tell you what's on any one of those pages, but I can't tell you that.
165
That's how I can be sure.
166
Excellent.
167
You can get them started on the new deal right away.
168
New deal?
169
Yeah.
170
I have found a buyer willing to spend $200 million for the ground underneath the flagship factory.
171
Where are you moving manufacturing?
172
Well, that's the beauty of it.
173
The real asset of McKernan Motors is the name.
174
We move overseas, we save ourselves a bundle.
175
A front payout while retaining the name and maintaining cash flow over time.
176
That's genius.
177
Exactly.
178
Yeah, we'll take care of everything, okay?
179
All right.
180
Thanks.
181
Oh, by the way, what was so important that you had to see Harvey before you came to see me?
182
Oh, this Harvey doesn't really like that.
183
Can we, can we just, can we just shut up?
184
Okay.
185
Let me just get something straight, okay?
186
When I ask you a question, I just expect an answer.
187
Uh...
188
McCurnan Motors.
189
I was working on the due diligence.
190
And why would that require you to look at the bylaws?
191
State law requires a summary be prepared in the event of a sale.
192
Privately held corporations are exempted.
193
Not if the sale exceeds $150 million.
194
According to who?
195
The state's website.
196
I like to be thorough.
197
Well, put it there, buddy.
198
It's serious.
199
It's embarrassing.
200
Nice of you to finally make it.
201
Why does everybody keep saying that?
202
Because you're supposed to be here when you're supposed to be here.
203
Doesn't seem to apply to you.
204
I'm not the topic of this conversation.
205
Now, where'd you find me on McKernan Motors?
206
The board can't vote for at least 24 hours after the CEO presents a deal involving the sale of company land.
207
But Stensland already presented it to the board.
208
Right, but Stensland isn't CEO.
209
I wrote those bylaws myself.
210
He's CEO.
211
Hmm.
212
Page 238, Clause 137 states, If the CEO dies, an interim CEO will be appointed until the board convenes an election vote,
213
which can't be called till the next fiscal quarter, in this case, next Thursday.
214
So they can't vote him in until Thursday?
215
Thursday.
216
Okay.
217
Well, prepare the due diligence for me to take to Stensland, but I don't want anything ready to sign.
218
Where are you going?
219
Out.
220
I have until Thursday to find a new CEO.
221
Huh.
222
What?
223
Oh, nothing.
224
Uh, it's just six hours, is 1 ,500 pages, and I, uh, found your mistake.
225
Yeah, you found the one mistake I made
226
while drafting those bylaws a dozen years ago when I was two years younger than you.
227
A mistake, by the way, that's gonna help me get rid of Stensland.
228
Mistake.
229
What are you doing?
230
Uh, I'm looking for a restaurant.
231
Where did you go for your rookie dinner?
232
I came into the league a sophomore, and you better not be prioritizing that of McKernan Motors.
233
I still need something to stall Sten's limits.
234
It's right here.
235
What are you so irritated about?
236
I spent a day with a top headhunter I know who couldn't produce one legitimate CEO candidate by Thursday.
237
What about that Dominic Barone guy who runs production?
238
He said he was responsible for the engines and clearly cares about the workers.
239
Oh, he's not the guy.
240
Uh, you're scared you can't convince him because he hates you.
241
I get it.
242
Nice try.
243
So how do we get an offer to the board before they vote to ratify the deal tomorrow?
244
You're gonna go through those bylaws and you're gonna figure something out.
245
I don't have to look through them to figure it out because I just did.
246
But what took you so long?
247
Are you trying to look like me?
248
Harvard trivia, the lightning round.
249
Go.
250
Pulitzer Prizes?
251
46. Nobel Peace Prizes?
252
Five.
253
What is the oldest book in the Harvard Library collection?
254
The Bible.
255
Wrong.
256
The Gutenberg Bible.
257
Everyone knows it's the Gutenberg Bible.
258
Yes, but you didn't say it.
259
The rules dictate you must be precise, as the law is a very precise endeavor.
260
How many U .S pre...
261
Nate, that's not fair.
262
You didn't even finish the question.
263
And yet it's right.
264
The question was going to be how many U .S presidents have attended Harvard.
265
You want names?
266
No, we get it.
267
Final round.
268
Ross is ahead by one.
269
One question each.
270
Points are double.
271
Double because he wants to keep you in the game, Seth.
272
Bring it on, Ross.
273
I bleed crimson.
274
Oh, venomous banter.
275
This is adorable.
276
I love it.
277
Ross, square pizza.
278
Where do you get it? Are you kidding?
279
Any self -respecting Harvard alumnus would know the answer to that.
280
Late night studying, you want square pizza, where do you go?
281
Um, you know, I'm more of a burger guy.
282
I study better on protein.
283
That's pathetic.
284
It's Pinocchio's.
285
I answer mine.
286
I win.
287
Yeah, I know.
288
How many current US Supreme Court justices are from our alma mater.
289
Five.
290
Woo!
291
Yes!
292
Five!
293
Got anything to say, Ross?
294
No, just that the answer is wrong.
295
Scalia, Roberts, Kennedy, Breyer, Kagan.
296
Ginsburg.
297
Ruth Bader Ginsburg went to Columbia.
298
She graduated from Columbia after she attended Harvard for two years.
299
The question was phrased, how many justices were from Harvard?
300
Well, she was on the Harvard Law Review.
301
When she arrived to Columbia as a transfer, she was from Harvard.
302
The rules dictate that you must be precise, as the law is a precise endeavor.
303
Congratulations.
304
That's what you get for second place.
305
To the victor belongs the spoils.
306
A case.
307
Pro bono.
308
One of your very own.
309
Congratulations.
310
Enjoy.
311
Seriously?
312
It could be much lower.
313
It could be much higher.
314
Let's pretend it's just right.
315
My clients' lives are being cut short, and according to accepted calculations,
316
the current value of a life is $7 .9 million.
317
You're not even offering pennies on that.
318
Those happen to be EPA calculations
319
based on a full life expectancy adjusted for plaintiffs whose expectancy
320
is just a fragment of this yields a value of a hundred
321
and forty three thousand four hundred and twenty seven dollars approximately we need more how are we gonna get more
322
Mike?
323
Is this the building we were in yesterday?
324
No rents, no apartment.
325
That's my code.
326
Yeah.
327
Before and after.
328
We need to go carpet shopping.
329
You want to see me?
330
Did you go see Joy after I told you not to?
331
How did you know?
332
I didn't until now I told you a puppy can't clean
333
up its own mess yes all I did was tell her
334
about my grandmother your job is to make my life easier if you can't understand that why did I hire you
335
police report summarized traffic signal analysis medallion bids attendees and results that's why I don't feel sorry for Gabby Stone at all. Because?
336
I found her.
337
I was her immediate supervisor.
338
I nurtured her.
339
Then she tries to cheat and give us a bad name.
340
How commonplace would you say cheating is here?
341
It's not.
342
It's not the kind of shop we run.
343
So when Miss Stone made the trade and the investment tripled in value, you weren't suspicious?
344
My job's not to worry about the traders that are making money.
345
My job's to worry about the traders who aren't.
346
I don't know.
347
Hello?
348
You figure out how to get the most profitable trades yet, Mike?
349
The Morello brokers hang out at a bar called The Closing Bell.
350
I'm on my way now.
351
Just remember, you're working.
352
I'll talk to you later.
353
Let's go, sir.
354
Get a beer?
355
OK.
356
Thank you.
357
Hey, hey, hey, what's up?
358
Tool locks?
359
Oh, man.
360
You drink that beer any slower, I'm gonna have to get you a nipple.
361
Dwight.
362
No humor.
363
Vince Landis.
364
Morello assets.
365
Yeah.
366
That's me.
367
Yeah.
368
Russell Ginther.
369
The Gin.
370
The Ginthicizer.
371
Come on.
372
Gurvich Investments, man.
373
We got shithouse here a couple weeks ago.
374
No idea what you're talking about.
375
You, me, Pepeole, Coswell, Williamson.
376
That guy dicked.
377
Still owe me 20 bucks.
378
Yeah, right.
379
Russell.
380
Right, right.
381
Still begging for scraps over there at Gervin's, or what?
382
Wish.
383
I need a shot.
384
What is this?
385
No, drink mine, please.
386
Baker?
387
You're better than that, man.
388
Money!
389
Woo!
390
Woo!
391
God, you guys are a bunch of pussies.
392
I guarantee you, my biggest trades kick the ass out of your biggest trades.
393
I don't think so, brother.
394
Last month, I made $2 million on Cahill Metals in one hour.
395
$2 million?
396
I made $4 million off of Montrolux back in February.
397
That stock tripled overnight.
398
What's up?
399
$4 million?
400
Oh, that's adorable.
401
How about the $6 million I just cleared on ripy and micro devices?
402
Oh, yeah?
403
What do you think my boy here made on Piper Webb Systems?
404
What, this guy?
405
Right here.
406
Uh -huh.
407
Uh, I don't know, a pack of chewing gum in your sister's panties?
408
Oh, it's on.
409
Whoa!
410
Miss Landis!
411
$7 million off of Drogon Limited.
412
$8 million off of Epling RTX.
413
$9 million off of RMA Integrated Products.
414
Well, gentlemen, Creed is good.
415
And so does his sister, right?
416
Come on, man, that's his sister.
417
That's not cool.
418
Dude, you just made, like, the same joke.
419
Hey, Bradley's finally here.
420
Uh, alright ladies, listen, I gotta split.
421
It's been real.
422
I'll get drinks next time, alright?
423
Right.
424
Make money, money, make money!
425
I don't hate you, I don't hate you, I don't hate you, I don't hate you, I don't hate you, I don't hate you, I don't hate you, I don't hate you, I don't hate you, I don't hate you,
426
I don't hate you, I don't hate you,
427
I don't hate you, I don't hate you, I don't hate you.
428
Six months ago, I was at Connolly White, the network went haywire and we were in a breach of contract litigation worth $400 million.
429
They needed it fixed in an hour, no one thought it could be done.
430
I had the network up and running again in 23 minutes.
431
Is that dramatic enough for you?
432
Wow, you're like a regular Zuckerberg.
433
Z -Zuckerberg?
434
Zuckerberg couldn't code his way out of a paper bag.
435
You called about the employee codes, you're a first year, you can't have one, sorry.
436
Okay, well, I don't need one.
437
I just want to know if it's possible for someone to gain access to somebody else's code.
438
Sure.
439
For one person, me.
440
I have access to all of the codes.
441
Okay, so in your short tenure here, has anyone ever asked you for access to someone else's code?
442
Once.
443
Last week. Who?
444
I can't tell you that.
445
Why not?
446
IT officer -client privilege.
447
Does that even exist, Ben?
448
It does in here.
449
All right, Ben, why don't we make a bet?
450
I think you mean a wager, Michael?
451
Yeah, sure.
452
I'm gonna tell you every single number on this piece of paper, and you're gonna give me that name. And if you can't?
453
Then I'm gonna give you this check for 10 grand.
454
You get one number, one comma, one decimal point wrong, and that money is mine.
455
Oh, and when I win, I'll also take one of those computers.
456
And for the record, there's not a single comma on there.
457
You ready?
458
Rachel, it's Mike.
459
I figured out who leaked the list to Wakefield Katie.
460
It was Lewis.
461
Call me back.
462
Yeah, I can barely keep my eyes open myself.
463
Filing briefs.
464
Sucks.
465
Do I really need to pay you back?
466
Let's start with an explanation.
467
You said I needed to find evidence, so I went to find some.
468
By breaking into another law firm?
469
Is that really worse than paying off a security guard?
470
Okay, first of all, I didn't pay him off.
471
Second of all, if I hadn't paid him off, he'd be in jail right now.
472
You think I might be right about Stan?
473
No, he never said you were wrong.
474
I said we needed evidence.
475
Wait, did you find something?
476
Dravik bought a shelf company 13 months ago.

What's a shelf company?

It's a corporation that exists only on paper so its owners can hide their assets.
479
Isn't that a shell company?
480
No, it's a shelf company.
481
Okay.
482
Take a shell company, give it a bank account, credit history, tax returns, and let it season for years on a shelf.

490
When we get back to the office, I want you to find legal precedent that will allow us to subpoena those records.
491
Okay, on it.
492
So what do you need?
493
I need a legal reason to get those files without saying I saw those files.
494
You need them for court or you just need them?
495
Why?
496
Well, you said you read them, right?
497
Yeah.
498

What?

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
