U knew so something was not good when Happy said No. Dudes down for anything.

Chibs always voted the right way

The two things that killed Samcro: Maureen Ashby’s letters and this vote

Tig was as loyal to clay as anyone could be..until clay gave him no choice..

Chibs was always the smartest guy in the room

Watching Happy vote "No" after seeing him on Mayans explain why he patched into SAMCRO after the cartel hit makes this scene even better.

It all started to fall apart from here. This is what killed The Sons.

Kozik was essentially the deciding vote, and then he died almost immediately after it.

Beginning of the end for the Sons

Only 3 people at that table would live to the end of the series Only 1 of them voted yes on this vote

So many members signed their death certificates in this vote.

I love this scene so much. The table beeing so close to a split vote. Also the beginning of the decline for SAMCRO.

what is funny is that we tend to forget that this was THE vote who absolutely crushed the club from S4 to last season

SoA still, has one of the best soundtracks throughout the series. Seasons 1-4 were amazing.

This is the most important vote in the entire show. The club was dead once that gavel slammed.

My favourite scene in Soa. Everything perfect even the music. Beginning of the end.

Out of the 11, Clay is the only that wanted it. Jax did it to get out, Tig did it because he's clays right hand, Opie did it to back Jax which therefore made Miles vote that way and Kozik only voted yes because the P and VP did, pretty mental if you think about that way...

The moment it all changed.

Knowing Happy's backstory now makes this scene so much more potent

Many people saying this was the beginning of the end but truth be told, they were screwed when Clay was approached by the cartel. The cartel was working with the feds, so they were going to prison regardless.

This voting scene was great.

Mayans really adds a layer to Happy's vote, looking back

It's weird to hear happy say he's sorry. Interesting that his character never had any conversations with anyone that lasted no more than a few sentences.

Soooo epic music and the scene , couldnt stop re watching this What a great show

This show had its great episodes. The one when they kill Agent Stahl was one of the best episodes of any show I’ve ever seen. 10/10

The vote that destroyed the sons.

Opie was the saddest character ..... had a good heart but a broken soul

My girlfriend actually had tears in her eyes after this vote. When I asked why, she told me Sons are going to die because of this. How right she was

I love music in this scene the epicness of Clay& Jaxs being on same page

I have watch this series completely through many times and I still honestly believe that if it had been Jax and Opie sitting at the head of the table. Things would not have gone nearly as bad. Opie was always Jax’s counter balance, he would have helped steer him to do better.

Jax did all he could for the club to go legit, just to find out they’re still dealing guns after his death and dealt chucky away...

That look Opie gave Miles looks like it scared him into saying "Yay"

I like the mayhem votes...all in favor of clay morrow meeting mr mayhem.....chibs aye lol shows classic

In many ways, this 4- minute scene tells you everything you need to know about the series and its main characters. Beginning with Gemma The manipulitve reigning queen SAMCRO, seen here uncharacteristically objecting to Clay’s decision to go down this path on what appears to be on the grounds of moral outrage and going against everything her club stands for. However, in a slightly less nuanced fashion is hypocritically stunned that Clay kept this from her believing that her role in the club extends beyond being just an old lady. In a sense Clay’s response to her is, in its own right, justified. Not only is she not a member, but has zero right to tell anyone about honesty or the sanctity of the monster she herself help create and the beast she continues to nurture- through violence, deception, and cold-heartedness under the guise of motherhood. Believe it or not, the actual votes on the other hand are not as complicated to access. Clay, the show’s eventual primary antagonist alongside Gemma, votee Yei out of shear greed and purely in the interest of his own financial welfare upon his eventual departure as President. Jax’s Yei vote stems what he believes is the best course for his family, but knows that, to Bobby’s earlier warning, it would kill SAMCRO. Believing Jax’s vote to be justified evil, at the beginning of the scene he manipulates his best friend into believing this is nothing more than means to a new beginning for SAMCRO. Which brings us to Opie. Like his father and best friend, Opie is smart and holds very similar moral convictions as to what he believes is right for his club and his family. But appears to see a much greater picture in spite of his confident, but naive vision that he and Jax will soon run the Club as JT envisioned that he and Jax will soon take over. Tig, who basically always voted unrepentantly in favor of Clay, does so here but in an almost contemptuous, borderline disgusted way. He is confident in his YES vote, but as we ultimately begin to see the human side of Tig Traeger, we are given a glimpse in this moment that he is more than just a loyal righthand to Clay. Chibs, on the other hand, plainly states his feelings of distrust toward Galendo and blankly votes NO, not necessarily due to his love for the club, but his natural instinct and intelligence that associating with a drug cartel is nothing but bad news. Bobby’s NO vote aligns similar to that of Chib’s; only we all know from the very beginning that his measured, “brains before bullets” mentality comes from the love for his Club. Happy is depraved, violent, and downright crazy but in this instance, you see him wanting to vote YES but apologetically votes NO, giving us an insight as to why he was ultimately better suited to be the SA over Tig. Miles’s vote is pretty predictable. The newest member and protege to Opie, votes Yes in favor of his sponsor. You can almost see the anger and resentment in Piney’s NO vote because like Bobby, knows that the Club he founded is heading down its darkest path yet. Although Juice’s NO vote is the right one, he casts it strictly out of fear as he is the Club’s undisputed coward. Cozich’s YES vote, which could have split the ranks and resulted in a majority rule deciding against the cartel, is probably the most surprising- he is a recovering drug addict but nonetheless is willing to stand behind Club’s highest ranking officers. The tension of in the room is undeniable, from the dimly lit atmosphere to the tragic requiem heard in the music, making this SAMCRO’s most consequential vote to date and arguably the most pivotal scene in the series.

Man.. this was such a good fucking show!!!!

Definitely needs a rewatch from start to finish👌🏻. Addictive show. I loved Ryan Hurst as Alison's brother on Medium but as Opie on SOA.....legendary.

opie - its you and me sitting at the head of that table oh the ending we all wish we got. but too happy, too perfect, too unrealistic. RIP all our outlaw brothers and sisters we lost in the struggle

It's insane how one could miss a show so much..

Tig was the only person to vote Yay and live to the end of the series. (Jax doesn’t count because he _does_ die)

Opie was Jax's center and calm. Once he died, Jax died and destroyed everyone who had anything to do with Opie's death.

Song:Shooter Jennings-All of this

The vote that began the downfall of SAMCRO and the only reason it passed is because Jax thought it would get him out in the end. If only he knew...

All those faces and acting!! This scene is EPIC!!! My favourite lines : "I dont trust them... No!!" / "Six to five, Passes" 🙌🙌🙌 and Jax's nervous fingerplay!!!👏👏 Well done boys! Well done

Hard to believe that Opie is Bertier from Remember the Titans...

Ope should've been Jax' s V.P

Chibs is my favorite character in SOA

The most powerful/decision making factor of a motorcycle club. The voting poll! Very inspirational. This is what democracy is all about.

You can’t openly vote like that around a table and not have hard feelings for each other

Chibs was the one who played by the club's rules every single time.

When happy said no he knew the cartel were around the corner after what he did to EZ and angels mom makes sense now, I’ve watched SOA 6 times it’s that good 👍🏽

Of all the shows I've ever watched from week to week, this one was hands down the most captivating.

So dumb, sure it passed, but only cuz Jax convinced Op and Kozik to flip, and the new guy being unable to really make his own choice, so it was really 7-3 against.

Tara is so beautiful in season 4

Ron Pearlman acting circles around everybody

In the later seasons especially getting the club to mule coke for the cartel Clay was going full blown gangster

That table was full only 3 survived

The way Bobby walks out of the club disappointed af. The walk and his face says how he feels about the outcome.

The King made the wrong decision. If only you could turn back time,this the time you change that.

any type of organized crime is the worst thing anyone could get involved with, it puts everyone you love at risk & u stay involved long enough your bound to pay the price, so yeah this was the beginning of the end for samcro.

Kozik flipped the numbers here. And he was immediately killed in the mine field. These votes are my favorite part of the series. It's like watching Survivor, Kozik gave Jax and Clay the number they needed and bam he's gone. His only purpose in the series was that number, they even edited in some Kozik/Tig beef about some dog no one cared about to try to make the audience care. Lmao

Damn I miss this show!

I think this scene was when Piney made a decision: he would take Clay down or die trying. And we all know how that turned out

Chibs & Tig are the only two surviving members of Samcro now

THis was a monumental vote for this show. Really set up the whole last few seasons.

Fiction being as it may. Clay Morrow would knife his own mother in her back to get what he wants. The Club should have seen this with Clay long ago. Clay was against ever going legit, even in the early 90s when JT was boss and Jax and Ope were shorties.

Biggest mistake Clay made thought Jax wouldn't kill him

Goosebumps listening to opie talk about the future with Jax

This song is fucking amazing. If you have not yet, listen to "Black Ribbons" By Shooter Jennings. Concept album, and it is SO DAMN GOOD. Seriously one of my favorite albums ever.

The beginning of the end for SAMCRO

I liked Clay. He was just trying to hold the club together.

this is where it all went down hill

Its weird seeing this, now knowing that only Tig, Chibs, and Happy lived till the end. At the time, my guess would have easily been that Jax and Opey would be the ones to survive. Who knew that the 2 most ruthless and dangerous members would be 2 of the last 3 standing (Tig and Happy)

If Kozik said NO,all the tragedy could have been avoided! Kozik's vote meant the beginning of the end for SAMCRO!

my favorite song as soundtrack. All of this could have been yours...

Kozik killed the Sons before getting himself killed the irony

I wish opie would've been able to sit at the head of the table

Clay was always the least loyal of them all, he always only thought about himself

Best sound track for a show hands down...

1:23 is the first time we see Jax's "President" face that he would wear for 3 seasons afterwards.

President Jax Teller, V. President Opie, Sgt. at Arms Chibs, and all it will be a good end for SAMCRO

I miss that show

Clay turned into a son of a bitch in season 4

And all the lies, all the bad moves and the distrust would become bigger and bigger after this.

Now i know why Happy said no. He killed EZ's mom for the Gallindos and knew that might blow back on him.

this was almost like modern day red dead redemption

The was the death of the Clay era of Samcrow. Where everything would start to fall apart for him.

Season 3 they were a family, loved eachother, went to belfast looking for Jax's son because they all loved him and again eachother, season 4 this vote shattered and poisoned SAMCRO and everything got worse and worse and wors as the episodes and seasons gone by

"All Of This Should Have Been, All This Could Been Ours" sooo fucking true! :(

The way Clay snarls “6-5” 👹

Every comment so far has already gave every reason why this scene is awesome. I've only got one more to add... This is the ONLY scene in the SERIES I can think of where Mr. Ron Perlman used the EXACT voice he used for Slade from Teen Titans (while threatening Piny). And it was awesome to hear 'Slade' use R-rated dialogue.

Piney hated this version of SOA in.He only was still there because of Opie his son.

this is where the sons died

Wow wild how the version of the cartel we hear about in this scene was established in myans mc show makes this show even better

Clay was so damn powerful back then!

Jax and clay were wrong for pushing this vote on the club and it was for they’re own personal reasons and the club never stopped suffering since

When it comes to the Cartel they expand NOT you.

Bobby was the realest one hands down

Love opie, chibs and piney. Opie was one of the sweetest guys on the show, someone i would always stand back to back with. Jax and opie would have been the best pres, and v.p. thier could have been.

the truth is I'm never able to finish the last couple episodes of season 4..shyt breaks my heart how it all goes down. seasons 1-3 are a thrill for me with clay at the helm and then by season 4's end..its all sad faces for me...mid way through season 4 i just skip to season 5..watching clay beat in gemmas face and then gemma completely turning her back on clay, and then watching clay turn into a complete simp and losing the gavel..just erks me.

Kozik was such a cool character his death was so unfair
