you have power of attorney and you're gonna accept this settlement two million dollars a plaintiff you're gonna take it and you and that shit eating grin are gonna fly back to boston and never come back to my town again。 曼哈顿顶级律师哈维向来是优雅与圣域的代名词,举手投足间都透着未尝一败的底 气。可谁能想到,这样一位顶尖高手竟会被对手牵着鼻子走,甚至不惜游走在规则边缘,雇下职业生涯最危险的赌局, 只为赢下一场关乎数百人命运的对决。打破哈维不败神话的挑战者,是来自波士顿的顶级律师特拉维斯坦纳。不同于哈维的凌厉张扬,坦纳低调神秘却以无底线的形式风格闻名, 胜率高的惊人,更是从未在集体诉讼中输过一场。当这两位顶尖高手狭路相逢,一场无关胜负只论荣誉的巅峰对决就此拉开序幕。一切的起因源于纽约郊区一所高中的悲剧,而这所学校的旧址 是艾默森石油公司的油井,居民们坚信是石油公司为完善处理油井导致有害物质泄露,才酿成了这场大规模的健康危机。黑姐律所受托发起集体诉讼事关重大,律所老板黑姐亲自挂帅,却没料到一场更大的风暴正在悄然降临。 that's for you larry trust me it's good use it how do you know my name it's all in there。 larry 坦纳正是艾莫森石油公司请来的救兵,他的登场极具挑衅性,无理闯入哈维的办公室,一开口就精准抛出原告代表肯尼的所有黑料,就连十年前的恶意诉讼记录都被他翻查殆尽。 not to mention the frivolous lawsuit he filed ten years ago against a shriver grocery chain it wasn't frivolous, i slipped and shivered my elbow。 他 用最直白的方式宣告哈维一方的底牌,他早已了如指掌,这场案子等于他志在必得,更狠的是,等于他故意揭开哈维心中的伤疤,提及他高中因肩部受伤挫十周锦标赛冠军的事情,随后更是点名要求哈维接手此案。 i know that you know who i am and i also know that during your senior year you missed out on playing in the state championship because of your shoulder you can't pitch with a bad shoulder and what do you know they won without you harvey now ask yourself something are you gonna let jessica pearson play the big game for you it's so funny i'm just thinking about how i'm gonna enjoy kicking your ass i'll see you in court。 坦纳语气里满是对弱对手的不屑。第一轮交锋,坦纳先发制人,哈维首次陷入被动局面。哈维立刻让麦克彻查坦纳的底细,而坦纳的履历让两人倍感震撼。 more importantly he was the youngest senior partner at clyde mcfay this guy's record is off the charts really he specializes in breaking class action lawsuits harris tobacco bel pesticide graph tech securities he broke them all how come i've never heard of him evidently he doesn't like to take public credit he stays off the radar he avoids the press and i only found this stuff by looking through court records。 哈维终于意识到自己面对的不是一个普通对手,而是一个棋逢对手,甚至行事比自己更诡异、更无底线的狠角色。坦纳的公式接踵而至,他主动提出与哈维见面。哈维特意将地点选在事发的高中,试图用案件的悲剧背景给坦纳施加心理压力,可坦纳却毫不在意。 江一君 see all these power lines around here they crisscross the entire town, two miles down that road paint factory you got a microwave tower and all this grass that you see it's been treated with pesticide every week for 20 years you say it's our fault i say you're wrong。 随后,他抛出和解橄榄枝,可给出的赔偿金却少的可怜,两人不欢而散。哈维深知,对手的示弱往往藏着最致命的陷阱。果不其然,分开后坦然首席原告肯尼翻出所有原告的黑历史, 扬言若不接受和解,就将这些隐私公之于众。与此同时,肯尼分享了一个关键信息,坦娜将在和平酒店召集原告患者, 用每人两万五千美元的低价和解金作为诱饵,试图利用恐惧和利诱让原告们放弃诉讼。哈维以为抓住了坦娜的把柄,根据美国律师准则,律师不得绕过对方律师直接接触当事人。可当他和麦克匆匆赶到会场时,才发现自己早已踏入对方部下的圈套。坦娜装作与哈维偶遇,故意放大音量谈论和解条件。 i know i can't talk to your clients directly, but thank god you're here harvey because what i can do is i can talk to you harvey emerson petroleum is offering twenty five thousand dollars to each and every one of your clients they don't take that this trial stretches out for years cross examinations will be brutal we take our settlements this whole thing will be gone tomorrow。 表面上是与哈维沟通,实则让在场的原告们听得一清二楚。坦娜这一招着实聪明。哈维再次被坦娜牵着鼻子走,陷入了前所未有的抓狂与低谷之中。此时,麦克的一句话点醒了他, told me that you knew he'd go to kenny because that's what you'd do if you were willing to go out of bounds you anticipated him by thinking about what you'd do and and that's exactly what he's doing to you maybe the only way to get ahead of this guy is to well think about what you wouldn't。 瞬间顿悟的哈维做出了一件他平时绝不会做的事,布下了一个堵上自己职业生涯的险局。他从自己现人手中拿到一段非法窃听录音,内容正是坦纳 与石油公司高管商议如何恐吓原告的对话。这段录音在法庭上本无法律效力,可哈维却看到了逆转战局的希望。谈判桌上,哈维将一盘录音带推到坦纳面前,谎称是在家门口捡到的,故意伪造证据来源,让坦纳误以为这段录音有可能被法庭采纳。 shut up on my doorstep and i declared that in this aff 徒刑 which i'm about to send to court so you're gonna purge yourself just to win this case no, i'm not gonna purge myself even if i were it wouldn't be just to win this case be to get your ass thrown in jail see you have power of attorney and you're gonna accept this settlement two million dollars of plaintiff you're gonna take it and you and that shit eating grin are gonna fly back to boston and never come back to my town account。 最终,坦纳妥协了,他输不起,既不想坐牢,也摸不清哈维的后手。双方达成新的和解协议,每名原告获得两百万美元赔偿。事后,麦克忍不住问哈维,如果坦纳不肯认输,他真的会提交那段非法录音吗? i had no intention of submitting this epithet i'm not gonna perjure myself, but tanner doesn't know that and he never will how do you know because a man is willing to break the rules can't imagine someone else wouldn't you said that you took my advice and that you surprised。 哈维的回答揭露了这场博弈的核心,他从没想过真的提交录音,而这一点,坦纳永远不会 知道。习惯打破规则、不择手段的人永远无法理解。有些人即便伶俐,也始终坚守着自己的底线。哈维的赢,从来不是靠无底线的博弈,而是靠对坦纳内心的精准洞察。他吃透了坦纳的贪婪与胆怯,也守住了自己作为律师的底线。为了保护那些无辜的受害者,哪怕背负非议,他也在所不惜。

问大家个问题,当公司被当做反面教材登上了杂志,身为一名领导,你该如何紧急公关呢? annual survey of associates came out pierce and hardman ranked second to last in quality of life, harvard wants to resend our on campus recruiting privileges what? 金装律师作为一部在全球范围内斩获无数大奖,并在完结多年后依然打破顶流媒体收视记录的现象级律政神剧,他之所以能成为职场剧的教科书,就在于原著编剧阿伦科尔式将金融圈和顶级律所里那种弱肉强食、赢家通吃的丛林法则 毫无保留的移植到了剧本之中。这部剧表面上是在讲法律,但只要你参加工作后就会发现,这其实是一部硬核的成人职场突围指南。 有网友评论,第一次看金装律师时,都会幻想自己是那个穿着定制西装、走路带风,靠着天赋和魅力大杀四方的哈维。但等我们在社会的大熔炉里摸爬滚打了几年后,被现实按在地上反复摩擦,才猛然发现,其实我们大多数人都是那个并不讨喜、相貌平平, 只能靠着内卷在夹缝中求生存的路易斯。这句话不知道是否也引起了你的共鸣呢? 我们都知道皮尔逊哈德曼绿所在纽约市金字塔间的存在,而维持这座金字塔运行的,除了合伙人的呼风唤雨,更依赖于其苛刻的人才选拔机制。这家绿所只从哈佛法学院招收毕业生, 然而一份年度的全美绿所助理生活质量调查报告却将这座庞然大物推向了悬崖边缘。报告显示, 迪尔逊哈德曼律所在生活质量方面排名全美倒数第二,这意味着这里的初级律师们正在被压榨。这不仅让律所颜面扫地,哈佛法学院高层也对此很不满,甚至考虑单方面取消该律所的校园特招权。 wait pearson hardman is harvard harvard is pearson hardman one can't survive without the other there's no need for history onyx just yet history onyx this is the gravest day i've ever known jessica, let me handle this why do you think i'm here? 那 么,皮尔逊绿所为什么只招哈佛生呢?其他大学不行吗?其实这不仅仅是为了业务能力,更是为了阶层纯度和客户背书。在顶级商业博弈中, 名校的光环就是最珍贵的信誉担保。经过创始人多年的经营,皮尔逊哈德曼绿所已经发展成为了哈佛,就是这家绿所的书学期待。而皮尔逊哈德曼绿所则是哈佛学子们向往的名利场。如果绿所不能从哈佛招聘, 这意味着他在行业内将逐渐丧失竞争力,沦为二流机构,这是大老板杰西卡最不愿看到的。另外,在全美顶尖的白鞋所,初级律所的生活质量差简直是行业内公开的秘密, 原因就是令人窒息的计费制度,也就是我们所说的咨询费多少钱一分钟?顶级律所的初级律师拿着远超同龄人的百万年薪,代价是每天工作十四到十八个小时 随时待命,没有周末。这种制度本质上就是一种高薪买断你全部人生的合同。路易斯粗暴的压榨他们,在某种程度上正是在执行这种冷酷的行业规则。 那么,路易斯该如何解决这一矛盾呢?他跟其他领导一样,将所有助理律师都叫到了一起,严厉的提醒他们,家丑不可外扬。另外,他会重新请哈佛负责就业推荐的领导来律所,对就业环境重新评估,到时候大家只要体现出开心就行。 so you want us to lie no i want you to convince this woman that pearson hardman makes you shit rainbows exactly be sure。 这典型的就是有问题不去解决,而是去解决发现问题的人。这群初级律师虽然心中憋屈,但在权力的威压下也只能憋着。 而路易斯作为一个长期处于哈维阴影下的忠诚管理者,他的内心充满了不安全感。他缺乏哈维那种通过个人魅力让人心甘情愿追随的能力,因此他只能依赖组织赋予他的权力,通过高压恐吓管理来确保威信。 这就导致了当员工不在他的权力范围内时,非常容易反水,这也是这件事能上报刊的核心原因。 不久后,哈佛评估代表希拉塞斯如约而至,他行事雷厉风行,简直就是女版的路易斯。为了应对审查,路易斯开始了他拙劣的表演。他用心介绍每一位助理的情况,尽可能体现出公司对他们的人文关怀。然而,这种拙劣的表演自然逃不过阅人无数希拉的眼睛, 但他并没有因此而生气,因为希拉也叫不出自己二十名手下的名字。为了找到真实的原因,希拉随意挑选了一个人进行一对一谈话。 that one 这个要求彻底打乱了路易斯的阵脚,因为他知道,一旦失去了自己的监管,那些满怀冤屈的愤青们指定会乱说一通。果然,在与助理们单独交谈之后,希拉告诉路易斯,助理们普遍认为路易斯工作不如他们卖力,甚至经常打酱油。 your associates don't respect you they think you don't work as hard as they do what they think you make them do your work。 没想到这位一心一意铺在绿锁上的人竟然被自己手下的菜鸟们看作是一个投机取巧的懒汉。 深夜的办公室里,路易斯独自留在助理办公区,他的内心充满了被冤枉的屈辱和下属的背叛。而就在这时,损友哈维破天荒的出现在了他的办公室。他本想调侃路易斯,却看到路易斯脸上一脸认真。 得知原委后,哈维并没有像往常那样冷嘲热讽,反而回忆起了他们当年作为助理时被前任老板痛骂的时光。哈维甚至承认,当年路易斯被冤枉弄丢了圈中,其实是自己为了捉弄他而偷偷藏起来的。 i knew it i knew it i had to work forty eight hours straight just to recreate it yeah, but we killed it a trial if that had happened now we wouldn't hear the end of it i know god forbid they have to pull one all night or let alone too it's like they think there's this law against working more than twenty hours a day well, there isn't premagenes。 这场深夜的谈话是哈维与路易斯关系的一次破冰。哈维用一种笨拙的方式向路易斯表达了一种战友般的理解和支持。 这里,路易斯与哈维对助理律师们的失望,其实是对现在年轻人娇生惯养的失望。老一辈们当年也是被辱骂,依然觉得熬夜通宵是理所应当,而现在的助理们稍微加点班就觉得是被剥削,这种两代人之间的巨大鸿沟,注定他们在工作中会产生矛盾。 第二天清晨,当那群初级律师们打着哈欠来到办公室时,迎接他们的是一场工作能力的降维打击。路易斯精神抖擞的站在办公区中央,宣布他已经将二十个助理一天的工作量完成了。这下助理们傻眼了,他们本以为路易斯只是个草包,只会压榨他们,没想到工作能力竟这么抗打。 而路易斯之所以不亲自做那些繁杂基础的工作,不是因为他懒,而是因为写案件摘要、做文件检阅。这些看似粗活累活的工作,恰恰是他们这些新人学习和成长的唯一机会。 从人物心理来看,路易斯的这场爆发是长期压抑后的自我证明。在过去,他是一个典型的控制型领导,通过制定规则和制造恐慌来确保任务的完成,但这种方式却无法赢得下属的内心认同。 而在这场危机中,他被迫向负能型领导转变。他让助理们明白,自己的工作是有价值的,是成长路径上不可或缺的一环。剧情的结尾,路易斯的管理理念起到了立竿见影的效果,助理们不再抱怨,而是主动接手新的案件。 希拉也认可了路易斯的能力。皮尔逊哈德曼律师保住了哈佛校园特招全 i heard your speech to the associates i just wanted to tell you how impressed i was thank you if you really heard me in there you'd know that i give him the chance to rise to the occasion, and i just wish every once in a while you might maybe do the same for me。 有 网友说,在精装律师的前三季,他极其讨厌路易斯,觉得他是个心胸狭隘、嫉妒心强的跳梁小丑。但当自己在职场里摸爬滚打了五年后,再看,路易斯 却忍不住红了眼眶。因为他发现自己没有哈维的天赋和后台,没有麦克的过目不忘。路易斯在职场里所有的生存技巧,都是像这群助理一样,靠着无数个熬红了双眼的深夜,靠着把一本本枯燥的文件啃透,一点一点深深抠出来的路。 朱一思深知,如果没有当初老板哈德曼的怒骂,没有那些堆积如山的看似永无止境的案卷,就不会有今天的他。他知道,在通往精英的路上没有捷径,只有无尽的付出、忍耐和汗水、眼泪和抱怨,在这里是最廉价也是最无用的东西。我是莹莹说电影我们下期见!

you all litigate me into sleeping with you i'm gonna need you right where you're dying to go how long do we land long enough? 作为曼哈顿一名最顶级的律师,他们在法庭上针锋相对,恨不得将对方千刀万剐,然而私底下却又过度亲密,妥妥就是法律界的史密斯夫妇。 现在,他们又因为一桩共同的官司而走到了一起。我们都知道,皮尔逊哈德曼律所刚刚经历了一场惊心动魄的内部夺权大战。 虽然大当家杰西卡和哈维联手击退了二当家哈德曼,成功保住了律所的控制权,但这场战争却令他们元气大伤。 二当家哈德曼阵营的合伙人纷纷跳槽,助理律师被敌人挖墙角,现在公司财务状况更是捉襟见肘,甚至连一个私人调查员都请不起。 i need 40 more contract lawyers a dozen paralegals and mike ross just told me he couldn't even hire an investigator that's right, he can't we have to no and then we took a hit from monica eden and hired the contract lawyers we are out of money use the line of credit it's gone what? 更严重的是,此刻的二当家哈德曼犹如一条阴魂不散的毒蛇,联合敌人利用分散在几十个城市的四十五桩官事对律所进行疯狂的围搅。 不仅仅是法律专业层面上的较量,更是一场残酷的消耗战。绿所的资金链正在被急剧抽干,如果没有外部资金的强力注入,这家在纽约呼风唤雨的顶级绿所极有可能在短时间内走向破产。此时的皮尔逊哈德曼绿所,就像一艘在狂风暴雨中艰难航行的巨轮,急需寻找一个避风港。 他叫爱德华达比,是法国一家顶级律所的老板,也是杰西卡的老朋友。开始杰西卡的意思是请他帮忙处理一半的官司,而收益自然也归对方,是一种共赢的合作。由于达比也想开展跨国业务,此次合作自然就是水到渠成,对方老板先派了两个马前卒过来洽谈案子。 一位是哈维的同学加前女友斯科特,当年哈佛学习成绩他第一,哈维第五,在法庭上能和哈维硬刚,私下里也能将他耍的团团转。这是秘书唐纳最担心的一点。 just don't screw with him don't screw with him or don't screw him are you able to do one without the other the other? what i'll leave you to the business? 另一位是路易斯的老冤家内特比斯,与路易斯一样擅长金融学,这不,两人刚见面就开始斗嘴皮子。 i've taken mud in more places than your snooty little mind can fathom calais sedona isle of white joshua tree dalion button button。 哈维与前女友斯科特难得重新站在了统一战线,他们一连转了好几个城市,白天一起处理案件,收集线索。经过几天的相处,两人竟然又旧情复燃了,这才出现了开头的一幕。 哈维开始也以为这是一场双赢的合作,然而事情却慢慢脱离了他的掌控。老板杰西卡一开始就有事情瞒着他,让哈维这个习惯了掌控一切的男人,即将迎来他职业生涯中最愤怒也最无力的一次危机。 几天后,法国达比国际律所的老板爱德华达比清零曼哈顿,他要来这看看自己投入一千两百万的资金到底值不值。另一个最重要的是,他与杰西卡还有一项秘密交易, our books from the last five years if we're going to do this i want you to know exactly what it is you're getting yourself into now start at the beginning that's a great read。 哈威的直觉向来精准的可怕,他很快就从种种蛛丝马迹中拼凑出了一个事实,杰西卡正在与爱德华秘密推进两家律所的合并计划,而杰西卡竟然在完全没有指挥他的情况下,就已经将律所最核心最机密的五年财务账目 向这个英国人全盘托出。此刻的哈维异常愤怒,因为他感到了双重的背叛,一个是来自他最敬重的导师兼老板杰西卡,另一个是那个刚刚还沉浸在重逢喜悦中的旧情人斯科特。面对哈维的指责,斯科特只能解释这是老板的决定,在事情没有最终敲定之前,他需要保密。 而如果成功,斯科特将晋升为这家律所的合伙人。他试图让哈维明白,这场合并并非针对他个人, 而是一个关乎两家律所未来的宏大的商业战略。另外,在哈德曼离开后,他一直被压制,而达比的到来正是他摆脱杰西卡控制,获得更大权力的机会。然而,在哈维看来,皮尔逊律所是他和杰西卡浴血奋战打下的江山,而现在,他和他的老板 却想以一种联姻的方式兵不血刃的夺走一半。最重要的是,一旦合并成功,律所的权力架构将彻底重组,哈维头上将永远压着一个爱德华,他想成为掌权者的梦想将被无限期搁置,这是他绝对不允许的。 而事实也正如杰西卡预料的一样,在爱德华的帮助下,二当家哈德曼被打的节节败退,完全没有了一开始时的嚣张气焰。 杰西卡为了能顺利推进合并,竟然又筹画了一场晚宴。面对杰西卡做出的决定,哈维知道自己无法说服老板,他只能凭着一己之力想要搅黄这场跨国合并。 哈维主动找到爱德华,他拿着麦克收集到的针对爱德华客户的三项诉讼材料,当众下达了足克令,让爱德华能混到今天,这地位明显不是吓大的。在他眼中,哈维只是个年轻气盛的精英律师,根本不足以阻挡合并的步伐。他还提出,如果是在法庭上自己能将哈维玩死, 这谁能受得了?就这样,一场关乎律所生死存亡的赌局展开了。 are you suggesting a wager? you lose we don't merge i've heard your terms you win i go care to hear mine don't need to cause you're never gonna win。 哈维的强硬态度让杰西卡陷入两难境地,他看中哈维的能力,不想失去这位核心战力,又无法放弃合并带来的巨大利益。作为律所的女王,他看到的是局的生存。 哈德曼大规模反攻已经让律所入不敷出,信用额度被彻底刷爆。如果没有爱德华那高达一千两百万英镑的资金注入和庞大律师团队的资源,他们根本撑不过这个冬天。他直言不讳地指出,如果只靠他们自己,最多只能打赢几场官司, 却永远无法成为律师界最大最强的霸主。杰西卡破天荒的同意了这份赌约,另外他还要加注,如果哈维输了,他除了要全身心的支持这次合并外,他那份敬业协议将会再次延长,资深合伙人的职位也别想了。 you win, you get what you want, you lose, you stay, you extend your non compete。 杰西卡的目的是律所合并后让哈维当一个纯纯的牛马,既不能辞职又不能晋升。然而,杰西卡为什么就笃定他们一定会赢呢? 第一回合很快开始,爱德华做伦敦老牌律师率先出手,他直接向法院申请冻结哈维客户的资产。在英国的法律中,只要提前告知,这完全是合法的。而哈维要做的就是让客户赶紧将钱转走,不然律师费都没钱交。爱德华将此举形容为猎人狩猎,钱 通常会让猎物先跑一段距离,这样猎杀才刺激。 one doesn't hunt the fox, while it's still in its den one sounds the horn allows the poor creature a head start before giving chase you think i'm the fox think it the only one who doesn't know that is you? 哈为什么受过这种气?然而他不知道的是,这完全是爱德华给他们设下的一个圈套。 其实,爱德华早就通过和皮尔逊律所交换的合并信息,掌握了哈维客户公司的一些财务漏洞或敏感信息。这些信息本来受保密协议保护,爱德华不能直接公开使用,但他没有遵守规则, 而是利用这些信息冻结资产。哈维一旦想要反击解冻,根本没有证据向法官解释爱德华是如何拿到这些高度保密的信息。哈维此刻感觉被推到了墙角, 与他有同样遭遇的还有另一个人,路易斯。他发现奈杰尔在各个方面似乎都是自己的加强版,他不仅学历更高,见识更广, 甚至连路易斯引以为傲的爱好都在对方面前显得不值一提。如果律所合并后,他必定会被踢开。路易斯第一次感到了恐惧,他破天荒的找到了哈维,让他务必要赢下这场与英国人的战争。而哈维现在最需要的就是拖延时间。听到这,路易斯有了计划,他正好在负责推进合并,示意 手里握着大量合并内部保密资料,里面正好藏着爱德华客户的软肋,他完全可以利用这些保密信息为自己争取时间。 虽然他清楚的知道这一行为违反了保密规则,一旦被发现不仅会输掉诉讼,还会身败名裂。但在哈维看来,比起律所被吞并个人的名誉,风险微不足道。不过就在此刻,还有一个人的内心也在遭受煎熬。 斯克特千方百计回到曼哈顿,来到哈维身边,如果计划顺利,他与哈维将在一家律所共事,同样能成为高级合伙人。但没想到哈维就是一头倔驴, 他不知道此刻自己该如何选择,只要自己老板正常发挥,他必定会眼睁睁看着哈维身败名裂,这并不是他想要的结果,而秘书唐纳的一番话让他做出了个决定。 i'm major walk away from my name on the door if you want him to hear you, you're gonna have to make a sacrifice so i just risk everything with no guarantee that's what sacrifice is。 于是,斯科特背着自己的老板私下截住了麦克,将一份足以改变官司结果的机密文件交给了他。而因为之前他欺骗过哈维,现在哈维根本不信任他,因此他只能让麦克去说服哈维。 果然,哈维知道这份文件的来源是前女友斯科特后,感到非常愤怒,他始终认定斯科特是个骗子, 另外他也不需要女人的帮助。还好唐娜将这件事看得门清,向哈维保证斯科特是出于爱才干冒被开除的风险泄露情报的。最终,哈维被说服,指示麦克利用这份资料去提交动议,准备给爱德华致命一击。 give him a file what do you think i did four hours ago? 然而这时候又出漏子了。就在麦克准备去提交动议打赢这场官司时,杰西卡察觉到了他们的动作。他深知自己的合并计划要泡汤,于是他将麦克叫到了办公室,用手中的权力 指此压住迈克的行为。杰西卡让他现在立刻马上下班回家关机睡觉,无论谁的电话都不能接。但这很明显不是迈克的作风。杰西卡见迈克不从,直接记出了他贯穿整部剧的终极秘密。 you don't do this who's to say you don't end up in a cell for practicing law without a degree and who's to say you don't share that cell with me for knowing about it the whole time you don't want to take that tack i didn't start it i will beat you mike 只是个小员工,并不理会杰西卡的威胁,甚至反将一军,老板作为知情人也会与他一同进监狱。然而,杰西卡这只老狐狸早已留有后手。 the stakes are everything this is a letter to the district attorney saying that it's come to my attention that you are breaking the law i believe you've met him not the type to let it slide you file your motion i'll file mine。 影片的最后,麦克还是没有向法庭提交那份足以改变官司的文件。哈维输掉了官司,与爱德华打比的对赌协议也正式生效。 哈维在得知是爱徒在最后关头背叛了自己后,感到极度愤怒和痛心。尽管麦克试图解释自己是被杰西卡用假学历威胁, 但哈维认为背叛就是背叛,准备毫不留情的将麦克开除,好在杰西卡出面保下了他。但哈维和麦克的师徒关系因为此事件的影响在很长一段时间内降到了冰点。 最后哈维还是愿赌服输,主动履行自己的承诺,欢迎爱德华的到来。但他还是最后提出了一个要求,将已经被解雇的斯科特重新雇佣回来。 what would you have me do give her her job back? what reason would i have to do that whatever she did you wouldn't have this merger without her fair enough would you have her work here or in london? 哈维这个神一样的男人,以为凭借自己无懈可击的业务能力就可以去撼动老板的最高决策,却头一次被虐到体无完肤。女友斯科特在这一集中也显得尤为悲情, 他为了爱情不惜违背职业道德背叛自己的律所。他的牺牲并没有换来哈维的完全接纳,反而让自己陷入了尴尬的境地。而杰西卡才是那个真正下棋的人, 他就像拥有上帝视角,每一步都恰到好处,不仅敲打了哈维,还将绿索带出泥潭,与国际接轨。我是冰冰解说,我们下期见。
