It is such a soul crushing line, and he delivers it so perfectly. It breaks my heart.

Punished Venom Kendall

Honestly my favorite moments in the whole show are when the siblings show genuine love for each other. Like this and the season 3 finale are such powerful moments.

I think this scene hits so hard and is punctuated by the fact that the first moment at the end of this season when Shiv should have protected him she didn't. The one thing he begged her to do at such a vulnerable moment 😔

One of the most beautiful scenes in the whole series. Kendall has to keep this “tough guy masculine” persona at all times to please his dad. This was his one vulnerable moment where he just wants to open and be vulnerable. Beautifully done.

oh my god that is tragic

That's the saddest aspect of the Roy family. The only people in the world who understand them are each other - but they have been destined to go down a path of always playing a conniving game of power, thus relegating them to never trust each other

I always thought it was him being worried that Shiv would call Logan out about using that against Kendall, which would make Logan pissed at Kendall and kick him to the curb

I wonder if she is going to use that card after her humiliating conspiracy was exposed

Turns out

There are no bad actors in this show

I know it’s insane

That moment is jaw dropping

i guess I am kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released tv shows online ?

@Archie Louis definitely, been using FlixZone for since april myself :)

Excellent observation!

Yeah, brilliant breakdown. I'd just like to add that the barriers were more likely installed since ATN employees had started shooting themselves due to the work culture.

@@cultofgaurav While it’s reasonable to assume the glasses went up after the guy shooting himself but I believe there is a reason there is a CCTV camera shot of Kendall going to the roof right at the beginning of the episode, it shows he’s being watched (by Logan likely) and like Krisitan said above notice how concerned Logan was about where Kendall was in the panic room? He definitely thought that could have been Kendall involved in the incident. Just goes to show Logan never has his eye off him.

Fucking amazing observation. Already one of my favourite episodes and that detail makes it even better. The CCTV camera shot at the start has more significance now aswell.

Although I definitely think practically this same thing, after a rewatch I wondered if Ken really wanted to kill himself because the glass barrier isn't that tall as to not be able to climb it up

STOP IT 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔

Because it wasn't a transactional admittance. It was just him needing someone to open up to if only for a minute, no second meaning, no ulterior motive. That genuine moment of vulnerability is what fucked her up.

Awesome catch.

Shows their shared emotional immaturity. Logan did the same mistake Tywin did. Built a good ship at the cost of his own children's lives.

What that's not ... Acting ... That's real?? Man It was really really moving

I actually think its a little more than that...Mixed with why Logan got all the kids in the divorce..Their whole lives have been just a testing field battleground...All of them being groomed in a dog eat dog way to see whos worthy in Logans eyes of being his successor...He raises them to always be in backstab mode...always be fake and deceptive...Killers...he changes his mind constantly about whos hes considering...then pulls back because one of them makes a mistake...He corrupted all of his children so the strongest one could lead the next generation..and when Ken does what he does in S2 finale...thats why u see the angry smile breakout on his face...He knows Ken is the one...but also knows that he has to put everything into destroying him now...Final test from master to would be apprentice..This is potentially the best TV series ever written..if it jeeps the moment going

callmecatalyst Hahaha I do

They both do. Like damn, is just such satisfying performances. This whole series is just top in performances for most of their characters, just incredible imo.

@@trollofjom watch predestination

She’s a fantastic actress. I love her

I mean, so did he

sengie enter a name that's it when you have an abusive parent and have a childhood with no love and no one to lean on emotionally! You become like Ken. He is the perfect example of the bad side of broken but wealthy families

CPTSD and severe trauma epitomized.

This scenne, this particular scenne is why, Strong deserved the Emmys.

the actor's delivery is phenomenal. i can just imagine other actors overplaying or underselling it--his is just pitch perfect

He straight up has nothing to live for in that moment. No identity of his own and just hanging around his father. So when he's useless to him, he wouldn't have anything to keep his mind busy. He knows he will get suicidal.

yea narcicisstic mothers are like that

@@betaririzqikaer2451 imagine growing up with two such horrible parents. It's really no surprise that they cannot form proper relationships, and be a family. A bit like Voldermort and his inablity to love.

@@zurzakne-etra7069 I mean their mum went through some trauma as well. After the divorce all 3 of her children went to their father for his money and betrayed her and not only that they didn't even meet her regularly. So just like everyone in this family she is extremely traumatised too

@@aviralsatija6395 that sounds like an excuse

@@aviralsatija6395 The way their Mum's scenes are written in my experience points to a narcissistic mother, and with their father they got a raw deal altogether. As it has been said numerous times, SUCCESSION is quite Shakespearean.

My favorite part!!!

...................

@callmecatalyst Well that took a turn 🤣

Hurts even more now, huh😶

She is corrupted... But tbh anybody would be feeling insecure and frustrated in her position

This is absolutely true but what makes it even more affecting is that the three younger siblings are possibly the only people in the world capable of eliciting that response from each other. The only reason they're "corrupted" that way to begin with is the way they were raised (and abused, mainly psychologically but in various ways by Logan), and only each other can understand the unique pain of that and what it does to a person. They live the game all the time 24/7 but only ever stop when one of them actually shows how much they're hurting or how much trouble they're in (same as Roman picking up Kendall in New Mexico).

None of them ever think each other is sincere

@@torrhenstark5876 It's heartbreaking

What really burns me is when Kendall tried to ask for help from his own mother and she blew him off. He plays haunted better than anyone I've ever seen.

That single moment was the crux of this scene. It felt so real.

Why? Do you want to talk about stuff? Do you want to share feelings? We don't have feelings

John R ops, that’s right... I always forget the other one...

Lol funny to see Connor forgotten again

@@tus2521 I wonder what's his play in all of this? Seems like his presidential campaign was building up to something big but now that's scrapped... so is Willa going to get big in S03? 🤔

Any idea about the soundtrack at the end of this episode ?

I hope you’re doing good

@@estherleclaire2626 Thank you, I am. Happy Holidays! I hope you're doing well physically and mentally.

For me was when He an addict showed up to family therapy drunk and high... And they took that with a hugest grain of salt and did jack shit...

It be like that

It foreshadows shivs lack of love for her brother when he places her hand over his heart

@@billyobfas6962 Kendall is the only one who had a heart and a conscience

I think the glass was a direct response to Kendall climbing up on the ledge earlier in the episode. That's also why when they heard somebody killed them self, Logan was so worried about where Kendall was. Logan has his eye on Kendall.

they didnt show videos of Kendall going up just for nothing... his father realized the atmosphere and put glass there so he can't kill himself

Kendall was probably planning on jumping and couldn't because of that glass. Logan's first reaction was to ask if Kendall was ok. Everyone knows Kendall was hanging on by a thread at that point.

Rams4life94 thankyou! I missed that reference. God the life of these (fictional) billionaires bastards

Wow , how did I miss that. His head against the glass because he has no outlet or escape.

Facts

True...

sarah snook is a great actress

All her micro-expressions throughout the entire series are a thing to behold.

I hate her though

Yeah, I really wanted him to become ceo but I don't see a path forward for it anymore. I think its interesting what the writers are doing by leading it more towards all the siblings owning the company rather than just Kendall but I just wish it was him.

That’s so fucked! It’s terrible that it is true

he was pretending to be broken all through the season. DARM!!

I don't think so. His so called olanned only came later. See this episode for itself. See the title ('safe room'), on the rooftop scene (change in the last after the suicide.

Whilst the OP did a commendable job[ that's why so many "upvotes", I see], unfortunately I've to be "that guy" and spell it out: Alas, the respondent commenters couldn't just have impulse-control and BEHAVE...! These spoilsters: Never gonna repair themselves, are they?°

Damola Yusuf no man, i think Kendall would have taken the fall. I think Logan knew it was over, the board of directors wanted him to step down. The changing

Yes. I think Shiv knew what Kendall was planning on doing. She was able to protect Kendall and Tom in one wack.

I think its possible that it was Kendall who ordered the glass to be installed himself.

@@sweetcell8767 no he’s definitely surprised by it

@@sweetcell8767 No he looks around and is clearly surprised by it. Definitely Logan. Also I don't think all of them are sadistic, Connor definitely has a heart.

@@rayzala1393 I mean, he was okay with purchasing a human being and shacking her up in he middle of nowhere. So not too much of heart.

Incredible line.

😢😢

The broken* you

Exactly.

was that before or after this. christ, i've just watched it and it all runs together.

justgivemethetruth finale

When did roman besides the board meeting 🤔?

@@garvitgarg709 always in front of everyone. He belittles him any chance he gets

@@garvitgarg709 he attempted to lie and say kendall was the rat during the hunting trip when it was him

@@costellomhor i disagree

I dunno, I think if he had of been honest with Shiv in this moment her natural instincts as a sister would've been to protect her brother. To keep his secret for the time being, but, ultimately help him some way. Maybe. I only say that because of the look of genuine concern in her face when he started to cry

To you, what does he mean by that line? I’ve been trying to come up with an answer, but I can’t. He’s not gonna be the one to tell?

@@graceedits3118 he's not going to be the one to take over from Logan.

@@El-jefe-darkness In response to your additional, non-solicited response: By “last episode”, you meant the latest episode i.e. exactly the one this clip is extracted from? 🤔

Well he won this year

He didn't win the GG, but won the Emmy. Him and Brian deserve all the awards they got.

WHAT????????? 😱

@@toladep ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Actually, Shiv doesn't care about anybody. She was nearly first one who support that Tom should be victim. Also, the only reason she asked Logan not to choose Tom was because he felt bad that Tom was right in what he said about their marriage. but again she didn't think about who was going to be victim after Tom. And i think she wasn't upset for Kendall. Poor Ken..

She didn't choose Tom, she for the first time realized how much of a shitty person she was towards him and was so guilt ridden which made her help Tom. Even then she made that choice after being convinced she would be on Logan's good side.

Y’all judging way to soon

i think ewan was bankrolling the cruise ship whistleblower

@@alsage9992 you’re being waaay too kind on her. The only reason she protected Tom, is because she didn’t want to face a world where even Tom would leave her, and wash his hands with her. She chose him precisely because she could have him eat out of the palm of her hand at any moment. For this reason, she chose to be with an opportunistic, unprincipled, cowardly, babbling-baboon semblance of a man. And to have this insult to manhood and masculinity reject her, would be too much for her to face. So to avoid dealing with her own demons, she’s okay to sacrifice someone else, anyone else. She is only motivated by herself here. She, to me, is the most despicable character out of the 3 siblings. The most selfish, and definitely “feminism gone rogue” because of what must have been a shitty childhood.

He just won it!

Agreed - so many outstanding moments but their acting here is achingly real and vulnerable. Master class in how you have us feel the intimacy of these siblings.

To think he does a kinda badass broker in The Big Short and then seeing him like this. He has destroyed performances these last years.

kasnif pierre same

Me too

"active shooter" scare* There! FTFY ☺️

supposedly Logan had someone tailing Kendall and monitoring him for a while, including following him up to the roof the first time-presumably they assumed he was thinking about jumping off

Yep. Suicide barriers were in place by episode end. In a way, it's like a prison for Kendall with this family.

You seem fun.

It was put there for safety reasons because that person committed suicide during the episode.I do not think it was put in place for Kendal specifically

Sarah S how did she betray him? She didn't choose Kendall to be the sacrifice. She just said not Tom.

Isn't it obvious that she wouldn't choose her husband???

I'm sure she didn't want it to be Ken either

@@smarkslowplay3512 That's what I mean. She just said she didn't want to choose but all she said was that she didn't want it to be her husband. I don't think she picked Kendall.

Wasn't Kendall involved in the cover up as well?

So true! Excellent observation; that never occurred to me.

And he doesn't know that she's part of the reason their father chose to sacrifice him at the end of season 2 It came down to Ken or Tom and Shiv chose the husband that she didn't even love and who actually did share some guilt over her brother. I have hated Shiv since then and have never recovered from that

Enter bran stark. Uggggghhhhhhh makes me sick just thinking about it

@@chevon7665 Same. I was absolutely irate and fuming!

Or because an employee did commit suicide violently in the building so they were implementing anti-suicide barrier glass as a general measure.
