It's crazy to think Noho Hank was supposed to be a one-off character that died way back in episode 1. It really shows, every actor, even ones picked for small parts, can be incredible. And a random comic-relief valley girl chechen mobster can have incredible growth and emotional depth. This show is insane.
Ditto Jeese in Breaking Bad. He was supposed to die in Season 1, but there was a writers strike or something that delayed the writing of the second half of the season and by the time the strike was over, Gilligan realized Jesse (Aaron Paul) was as crucial as any other BB character.
The sound design this entire scene, the panther maulings, Barry on the beach, and throughout this season was phenomenal. Literally some of the best I've ever heard.
I have an Atmos 7.2 system and I'm amazed how this show sound design takes advantage of it. Even when they apprehended Barry. I could her the team shouting from many locations, clear and distinctively. Fucking amazing.
There was also the bike chase scene. They perfected the sound of passing cars with different conversations and music. If you listen with the split audio it’s even more impressive. It was a good choice to not use music in that chase scene
How you know it was a panther? I love that part because it's up to your imagination, and whatever you decide it's terrifying. The truth is, it doesn't matter what it was, and showing it would be derivative, because no matter what, it is a horrible way to die. Bill Hader is a freaking genius.
0:16 I love how the camera blur distorts the silhouette of the dancer to make him look monstrous and unnatural. Like they show not what he is, but what he represents
I think the “represents” part is reaching - its just meant to make you say “what’s going on” but then it cuts to the electrode therapy and you understand immediately
hanks facial expressions in this whole scene were the true showing of the absolute horror he was experiencing, through the whole of the animal attack and that long walk in the hallway especially 0.44, just complete shock and terror, literally nothing I've ever seen has had acting this intense
I read an interview earlier today (Vulture) with Hader saying that there was no soundtrack when recording, and that Anthony Carrigan delivered that performance just based on verbal direction. Absolutely insane the amount of talent that must have taken.
@@JonathanYarnall yea for him to go from the comic relief acting hes done up to this point to one of the best most dramatic performances of emotion in the whole show is incredibly impressive
Goes to show the difference in being terrified as an actor and terrified in real life. That one scene the man really sold the notion that he was in sheer terror. What sold it even more was the total silence and the only sounds were the blood curtailing screams of the prisons next door being mauled and eaten by the big cat. You can tell the man did actual research in what a man's reaction will be when faced with horror.
The Cristobal Hank fell in love with is no longer the same person after this I’d imagine. I can’t imagine how traumatizing this was for him. Kudos to the actors and directors for this scene. This scene could have been silly but everyone played it so good.
From the look on Hank’s face after seeing that family portrait I think he had only seconds to process that maybe Cristobal was never the man he thought he was if he could keep such a big thing a secret from him. Yet he still chose to save him in the hopes that the part of him he fell in love with would still be the same, only to realize that man may be gone too. Again, it was written all over his face after he hugged him. Brilliant acting from Anthony Carrigan
Did they show a panther? In the HBO SE Asia airing I watched, it was only gruesome sounds while we're looking at a wall. But HBO SE Asia censors stuff so I don't know if they changed it from the original.
@@rabd3721 apparently Bill Hader confirmed it was a panther in an interview. Which fits in line with the season of Fuches sending a group of 'panthers' after Barry
The psychological damage some of these characters do to each other is fucking insane, bill hader and Alec berg are fucking amazing storytellers. The use of positive and negative reinforcement with the piano and her visual stimulation tactics and her pain over trying to change him, the scene before this with the panther. They really understand how to keep the viewer tied in and entertained and in dread. I really respect bill hader for keeping the continuity going and not really giving any of its characters the easy way out.
It would actually be positive reinforcement and positive punishment, since the addition of the piano is reinforcing the behavior of heterosexuality and the addition of the electric shocks is meant to be punishing the behavior of homosexuality
Well, he obviously was normal at some point. It's fucked up he did that to her, embracing that life style of disease & promiscuity puts her at risk. sure it's messed up she's shocking him but they're all terrible people.
@@Nozverah2nevermind just saw your other comments, it's clear you're not a fan of homosexuals and you see them as promiscuous and unatural. I'm going to say is what business of it is yours what people do in their personal and private time it's not hurting anyone. I have to wonder if homosexuality wasn't so prosecuted and shamed in some parts of the world maybe people would be more willing to be open about how they really feel and not lead to situations where someone is cheating on the other because they feel like they can't be themself in public. Also one could argue that human civilization is unnatural as humans have turned their back on the way humans had lived for hundreds of thousands of years as hunter-gatherers. So I feel like that kind of makes your unatural argument moot.
Anyone notice the *winds* the same *winds* Barry has when he's reliving his PTSD. Sadly I think Hank's rescuing of his Prince Cristolbal has cost him something mentally.
The only friends he had left from the chechen mafia got mauled to death virtually in front of him. Barry is probably dead somewhere, Fuches is also god-knows where. The only person left in Hank's life is Cristobal and they were both mentally and physically tortured. Cristobal doesn't even have his family anymore. They have each other but that's all they have left.
Is no one going to mention the piano key noise when Hank shoots the dancer. 🤣 One of the many reasons why this show is brilliant. I can’t think of any other show that combines humor and tragedy so seamlessly.
Poor Cristobal. I never could’ve foreseen these two falling in love when they were first introduced, and I didn’t know just how much I’d care about them. The ‘conversion therapy’ scene is the most disturbing for me out of the whole episode
It's not so disturbing after realizing there's some people who do stuff like this for fun... and they run the world. I bet Klaus Schwab and Yuval Noah Harari shock each other's balls to get off. Germany purposely placed children with pedophiles as an adoption experiment for decades. This is just a show, the real world is worse.
The Hank/Bolivia part of this episode was the most twisted and terrifying thing this show has ever produced. They really made it feel like a horror you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.
@@TheeKittyPie for real. Felt like I was watching under the skin again. I swear the first time I watched it, it felt 30 seconds longer than the actual scene lmao.
What's amazing about this scene is that going straight from the animal attack, we get horror movie vibes at 0:20 with a strange alien creature in the distance and the lights flashing. When it cuts to inside the room, we find what's going on to be more grotesque... because conversion therapy is a real thing.
Ive been re-watching this scene since the last episode came out trying to figure out why i find it so disturbing, nothing of a graphic nature even happens in it, i finally figured it out, Noho-hank this character of levity and comedy for 2 seasons straight who's provided so many laughs even in dire situations like being burnt alive on a bus, he seems so broken here. Like he's finally been through to much and the mask dropped.
I totally agree, felt like he finally crashed to the earth for the first time. That's actually shocking when you think about all this man endured leading up to it like the bus or Barry about to kill him on the roof. Hank has actually proven to be pretty unshakable, so the fact he's so disturbed makes this scene EXTREMELY chilling.
It's a teqnique used to make horror more effective by showing less. So with this scene they choose specici info to relay like the sounds of the violence, a man throwing up to indicate how horrible the sight of what's going on is, but your imagination fills in the rest in a more disturbing way than a camera ever could.
i can’t believe some people watched this and thought cristobal died at the end??? the man just got saved and is relaxing into an embrace after being held captive and tortured for days. hank’s expression shifting like that is the gravity of what he just did finally sinking in for him.
@@jamesbaker3153 and you’re literally wrong lmao bill hader even addressed this in an interview saying that is not what happened…….you vs. word of god bro
I thought it might of been that Cristobal was hard after No Ho shoots those people. During the long embrace, No Ho's face goes from relief to concerned to horrified. I think it shows how much Cristobal has been damaged by her torture (and I *love* that they show her being genuinely concerned for Cristobals life, because that's what so many family members and people in positions of power do: they think they have morality on their side "correcting a 'wrong' (LGBQI+)" but they are just torturing their family members into conformity and suppression, his queerness having nothing to do with her own sexuality or self-worth). Her conditional love is nuanced, accurate and even more hurtful.
I felt that scene was so unnecessary and completely out of now where. If Barry is trying to be dark then they need to commit to it and not pussy foot around it like the first 2 seasons.
@@lazlo686 I disagree . it's supposed to show how hardcore those other men are. Showing it would have been too much but just hearing it I think was perfect
Who would have guessed you'd be rooting for these two drug lords and their romance. Heart wrenching when he frees him and comforts him after what he went through😭❤
I just love the off screen noise of the man falling dead onto the piano. Perfect bit of comedy to lighten up the mood with all the horrific shit going around.
What Elena did here was evil. And even then, I feel like she’s a victim in all this too. Like Cristobal lied to her, essentially got her father killed, and she had to find all this out by going to his house and seeing the picture of him and Hank. And she’s distraught when she sees it. Hank did what he had to do, as he should have, but nobody was ever winning in this situation.
This whole sequence starting from the basement to here is crazy and disturbing as hell just hearing the chaos that was going on the other side of the wall and the psychotic laugh
Honestly, this is the best tv series episode I’ve ever seen. The way the men screams when they were dying, how the stripper looked from afar, he looked like a demon. This show is art.
That’s exactly what I was thinking! The way he’s out of focus, in profile in the distance makes him look inhuman, like his silhouette looks like some surreal ghostly figure
I really love psychological aspect of this series how they gave each of the main characters a trait of sympathy and understanding and yeah its pretty hard to forgive them and thats why this series like bojack horseman are meant to show damage, reaction and consequence, these people are damaged and didnt receive the proper tools and channels to be overcome their rooted problems, its just tragic seeing and knowing they could have had a much better life if they just had the proper help they clearly and dearly needed.
@@Tripindica I agree Bill Hader is a genius all of these characters are so damaged and so human but despite that Cristobal is the only character I can't root for and I kind of get surprised when I see so many people go poor cristobal lol I think Cristobal needs psychological help for not feeling a thing about his children nor his wife or maybe we could get a backstory on why Cristobal acts like a sociopath and if his family didn't treat him better or smth.
@@NotRyanGosling0_o Yeah maybe we'll get some sort of backstory for him in the future, needless to say I believe this sort of conversations are what the writers intended to have there is no right answer is just like the classic debate of " Is man good or evil" the more you think about it the more it isnt as easy to answer uwu
It’s crazy how good the direction and acting is in this scene. Strange how someone who was doing something as horrifying as Elena 1 minute can still convey such heartbreak and how you can still have even a tinge of sympathy for her. Doesn’t excuse shock therapy ever though.
*The elders must’ve saw something in Hank* for him to be put in charge of LA… for 3 seasons we didn’t know why they trusted him - - but this showed why - Hank is an absolute demon (as proven by Season 4 too)
Anthony Carrigan deserves an award for best supporting actor or something. Hell, every character in this show did it justice. It's definitely one of my favorites. The comic relief mixed with gritty seriousness, it almost reminds me of BB, but it's so unique from it. Bill Hader's directing style is AWESOME. If anyone who worked on the show sees this. Thank you!
That long shot of the guy dancing out of focus down the hallway to distorted music made me think of Linda from the first Evil Dead dancing through the woods as a deadite, scared me shitless before they revealed what it actually was.
Thats what people who support and practice conversion therapy don’t understand. You’re not changing anyones nature just giving them tons of unecessary trauma
Starting at 0:59. I’m not fluent but understanding made it so funny with how insane they are Elana: Look at him dance. Look at him, my love. Those muscles... Look at them Cristobal. KEEP LOOKING AT HIM. TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT HIM. YOU LIKE THAT, YEAH? YOU LIKE THAT STUFF. You want more. *Cristobal goes quiet after being shocked.* Elana: Gustavo! Piano! Gustavo: Open your eyes~~! Elana: SHUT THE FUCK UP. Stand up baby. Cristobal look. Look at my lips. Look at my neck... hm..? Cristobal. Look at me. Baby please, touch me. Don't you like it? Caress my body... Caress... NoHo Hank kills Elana and Gustavo, the Piano Goblin. The part where Gustavo is hunched over saying "open your eyes" always gets me.
the spanish dialogue, as someone who understands most of it, is so fucking funny while also being terrifying. much of this scene is so hilarious but also terrifying. why is the muscular dude all hunched over like a little goblin henchman when playing the music meanwhile this lady is straight evil LMAO my breath was held but only slipped when something got ridiculous, then caught in my throat again. barry is so good

The part where Gustavo is hunched over saying "open your eyes" always gets me.
0:40 I feel like this is important. Why would Bill show us a picture of Cristobal’s kids if they weren’t gonna be important, later on? Also, notice that Cristobal’s kids appear to be in their late teens, meaning that they could reasonably run his business without being castigated for being children. My prediction for Season Four will be that Cristobal’s kids will take over Elena’s operation, and they’ll be wanting revenge on Hank for killing their mother. Someone’s gotta be next in line to run his business, and with him (presumably) fleeing back to L.A. to be with Hank, someone’s gotta take over.
I think it's meant to mean Hank is doubting if he's making the right decision. Mitch talked about Hank missing obvious red flags, Cristobal has an entire family and life he was just ready to give up. Hank saw so many terrible things in order to reach this man. What's to say it won't be a massive mistake?
I don’t think it will go that far. We still need to know if Cristobal’s brain is fried. Noho Hank will probably have to leave him somewhere or even kill him if he doesn’t even remember him after the torture he just went through.
So eerie , gruesome, hilarious , tragic , desperate and romantic all in one. U feel disgust and pity for all the characters in this scene. That’s brilliant writing
Just finished watching this episode. The entire thing had me a wreck and I'm still recovering. Cristobal's wife doomed him to a fate far, far worse than death. This show quickly went from a dark comedy to just very, very, very disturbing and dark. I CANT WAIT FOR SEASON 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's definitely the cruel matriarch her father made her. Glad to see her shot dead. The whole conversion therapy and how she desperately tries to force Cristobal to love her like she thought he used to right after horrifically torturing him for his homosexuality (which offends her more than his infidelity btw )is a masterclass in direction and acting from the actress and Hader.
This scene really reminds me of Breaking Bad, when we see Jesse Pinkman lose it. It is so disturbing when the character we trust to always make us laugh makes us cry. This is what happens when amazing writers combine with amazing actors.
bill hader said in an interview that hank’s expression at the end is meant to show the audience that hank is changed now, in the same way sally has been permanently changed: they both have killed now. they are both like barry now.
You have to feel for the dancer. I doubt the guy was in the game. Probably just got hired, thinking he was gonna dance at a cartel party, but he gets roped into this half assed conversion therapy thing and winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time when Hank comes in armed.
We now live in a world where filmmakers created one of the most disturbing, most brutal, most anxiety inducing 'monster' scenes using nothing but a fucking wall and a gallon of fake blood.
Anyone else get serious "justify my love" vibes from the silhouette of the guy dancing early in the clip? Maybe more specifically, the Wayne's world parody where Garth dances in the black body suit.

Same with Darryl in the walking dead
Same with Boyd crowder in justified
I love the flickering lights and how the man looks from a distance dancing, it feels so eerie and otherworldly

@@Taylored13 This was EXACTLY what I thought of. And the panther mauling felt a lot like the bear scene.

Man this scene hurts even more after the newest episode
I just love the off screen noise of the man falling dead onto the piano. Perfect bit of comedy to lighten up the mood with all the horrific shit going around.
What Elena did here was evil. And even then, I feel like she’s a victim in all this too. Like Cristobal lied to her, essentially got her father killed, and she had to find all this out by going to his house and seeing the picture of him and Hank. And she’s distraught when she sees it. Hank did what he had to do, as he should have, but nobody was ever winning in this situation.
Damn and then Hank found out they had kids together from looking at a picture
Yes.It was not the case of she got.married after Hank came in their lives.She got cheated.
@@vickybuddy16 that doesn’t justify conversion therapy. What if my wife cheated on me with a woman? Should I convert her through electric means?
@@vickybuddy16 he upgraded. It's not his fault that he woke up and realized he was wasting his life on her.
This whole sequence starting from the basement to here is crazy and disturbing as hell just hearing the chaos that was going on the other side of the wall and the psychotic laugh
Noho Hank was always one of the best characters on the show, but he may be shooting up to one of the best characters of all time.
Honestly, this is the best tv series episode I’ve ever seen. The way the men screams when they were dying, how the stripper looked from afar, he looked like a demon.
This show is art.
Dude this scenes feels like it came from a horror movie
You can tell that by the end, this is not the same Hank that was cheerfully sending bullets through DHL.
Forget black mirror. This was Only episode of a tv show to ever give me nightmares consecutive nights.
0:29 the dance here looks like a creature from a horror movie
That’s exactly what I was thinking! The way he’s out of focus, in profile in the distance makes him look inhuman, like his silhouette looks like some surreal ghostly figure
@@zleep9182 agree
Insidious comes to mind
You mean like a Rocky Horror Show.
Looks like the dancing alien meme
I hope the damage wasn't too much to Cristobal brain
I think it was, he Will never be the same
@@NotRyanGosling0_o does that justify him being tortured to the point of becoming brain dead?? this one of the dumbest comments i’ve seen😭
I really love psychological aspect of this series how they gave each of the main characters a trait of sympathy and understanding and yeah its pretty hard to forgive them and thats why this series like bojack horseman are meant to show damage, reaction and consequence, these people are damaged and didnt receive the proper tools and channels to be overcome their rooted problems, its just tragic seeing and knowing they could have had a much better life if they just had the proper help they clearly and dearly needed.
@@Tripindica I agree Bill Hader is a genius all of these characters are so damaged and so human but despite that Cristobal is the only character I can't root for and I kind of get surprised when I see so many people go poor cristobal lol I think Cristobal needs psychological help for not feeling a thing about his children nor his wife or maybe we could get a backstory on why Cristobal acts like a sociopath and if his family didn't treat him better or smth.
@@NotRyanGosling0_o Yeah maybe we'll get some sort of backstory for him in the future, needless to say I believe this sort of conversations are what the writers intended to have there is no right answer is just like the classic debate of " Is man good or evil" the more you think about it the more it isnt as easy to answer uwu
It’s crazy how good the direction and acting is in this scene. Strange how someone who was doing something as horrifying as Elena 1 minute can still convey such heartbreak and how you can still have even a tinge of sympathy for her. Doesn’t excuse shock therapy ever though.
This scene was horrifying, heck the entire finale was like a horror/thriller
The fact that they was draining the power from the house is a scary image when doing this scary shit
*The elders must’ve saw something in Hank* for him to be put in charge of LA… for 3 seasons we didn’t know why they trusted him - - but this showed why - Hank is an absolute demon (as proven by Season 4 too)
Cristobal has suffered so much this season. I’m so scared he’s going to resent Hank next season. Especially now that the mother of his kids are dead.
It's his fault because he failed to keep his secret. And of all the men, he had to fuck the rival gang leader?
“He killed all my boys and now my girl”
I hate to be a Debby downer, but isn't it implied that Cristobal died in Hank's arms at the end of this clip, right after Hank's eyes widen?
@@thebigshep That was my first thought as well. We'll have to wait until next season to find out. ):
I think this scene kind of implied that Kristobal is dead. The look on Hank's face suggests that.
the shot of the silhouetted man dancing is so insane.
Anthony Carrigan deserves an award for best supporting actor or something. Hell, every character in this show did it justice. It's definitely one of my favorites. The comic relief mixed with gritty seriousness, it almost reminds me of BB, but it's so unique from it. Bill Hader's directing style is AWESOME. If anyone who worked on the show sees this. Thank you!
That long shot of the guy dancing out of focus down the hallway to distorted music made me think of Linda from the first Evil Dead dancing through the woods as a deadite, scared me shitless before they revealed what it actually was.
This show operates at the highest levels. So next level, it deserves it's own category for story telling. The sound edits alone are super brilliant.
1:06 I cant help but notice how smoothly he turns around. It almost looks like CGI.
Professional dancers move like that
Here after the new episode
Rest in peace cristobal man, no more 50/50
Hank is a POS. Deeply abusive and psychopathic. It explains how he sees all his dead friends in the first season and says “Barry!” All excited.
Understanding Spanish just adds a whole nother layer of f**ked up to this scene
Mind translating?
why was the dancer getting so into it had my me dying and then when he gets on the piano and start singing i lost it🤣
cocainum
If you aren't attracted to a woman built like that, ain't no amount of electricity going to change that.
That's a FACT FACT. Personally, I would never leave her side lmao.
Yea man she was definitely a smoke show.
Thats what people who support and practice conversion therapy don’t understand.
You’re not changing anyones nature just giving them tons of unecessary trauma
@@Kessekom cause she doesn't have testicles
And now the LBGTQ community says otherwise. Gender and sex are just constructs. And people can switch however.
That little, high piano note after Noho Hank shoots the naked guy! 👌😅
This season of television featured some of the best acting ever produced in one program.
Starting at 0:59. I’m not fluent but understanding made it so funny with how insane they are
Elana: Look at him dance. Look at him, my love. Those muscles... Look at them Cristobal. KEEP LOOKING AT HIM. TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT HIM. YOU LIKE THAT, YEAH? YOU LIKE THAT STUFF. You want more.
*Cristobal goes quiet after being shocked.*
Elana: Gustavo! Piano!
Gustavo: Open your eyes~~!
Elana: SHUT THE FUCK UP. Stand up baby. Cristobal look. Look at my lips. Look at my neck... hm..? Cristobal. Look at me. Baby please, touch me. Don't you like it? Caress my body... Caress...
NoHo Hank kills Elana and Gustavo, the Piano Goblin.
The part where Gustavo is hunched over saying "open your eyes" always gets me.
the spanish dialogue, as someone who understands most of it, is so fucking funny while also being terrifying. much of this scene is so hilarious but also terrifying. why is the muscular dude all hunched over like a little goblin henchman when playing the music meanwhile this lady is straight evil LMAO my breath was held but only slipped when something got ridiculous, then caught in my throat again. barry is so good
Can you give us an overview of what they were saying please?
You can't just write this comment and then not explain it like come the fuck on

Watching a gay conversion via electroshock made me feel physically ill…I was scared Elena would get up for one last scare
This scene is so terrifying, and being from Bolivia I appreciate la Cumbia Boliviana jaja
0:40 I feel like this is important. Why would Bill show us a picture of Cristobal’s kids if they weren’t gonna be important, later on? Also, notice that Cristobal’s kids appear to be in their late teens, meaning that they could reasonably run his business without being castigated for being children. My prediction for Season Four will be that Cristobal’s kids will take over Elena’s operation, and they’ll be wanting revenge on Hank for killing their mother. Someone’s gotta be next in line to run his business, and with him (presumably) fleeing back to L.A. to be with Hank, someone’s gotta take over.
I think it's meant to mean Hank is doubting if he's making the right decision. Mitch talked about Hank missing obvious red flags, Cristobal has an entire family and life he was just ready to give up. Hank saw so many terrible things in order to reach this man. What's to say it won't be a massive mistake?
I don’t think it will go that far. We still need to know if Cristobal’s brain is fried. Noho Hank will probably have to leave him somewhere or even kill him if he doesn’t even remember him after the torture he just went through.
@@jordanloux3883 And it almost got him killed.
This whole episode had a horror vibe that I loved.
I love how when the dancing henchman starts to play piano, he starts singing only for Elena to yell at him to shut up 😂
So eerie , gruesome, hilarious , tragic , desperate and romantic all in one. U feel disgust and pity for all the characters in this scene. That’s brilliant writing
Just finished watching this episode. The entire thing had me a wreck and I'm still recovering. Cristobal's wife doomed him to a fate far, far worse than death. This show quickly went from a dark comedy to just very, very, very disturbing and dark. I CANT WAIT FOR SEASON 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His wife was definitely hot.
She looks fine
She's definitely the cruel matriarch her father made her. Glad to see her shot dead. The whole conversion therapy and how she desperately tries to force Cristobal to love her like she thought he used to right after horrifically torturing him for his homosexuality (which offends her more than his infidelity btw )is a masterclass in direction and acting from the actress and Hader.
There's nothing I love more than a hot red flag of a woman lol.
You know the show is getting dark when even NOHO HANK is traumatized.
One of the best HBO shows since The Wire and Game of Thrones.
This scene really reminds me of Breaking Bad, when we see Jesse Pinkman lose it. It is so disturbing when the character we trust to always make us laugh makes us cry. This is what happens when amazing writers combine with amazing actors.
bill hader said in an interview that hank’s expression at the end is meant to show the audience that hank is changed now, in the same way sally has been permanently changed: they both have killed now. they are both like barry now.
Anyone else notice the way Hank hugs Cristobal is the same as in season 4? Devastating.
You have to feel for the dancer. I doubt the guy was in the game. Probably just got hired, thinking he was gonna dance at a cartel party, but he gets roped into this half assed conversion therapy thing and winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time when Hank comes in armed.
just like the contractors on the death star right?
Now this is my Heartstopper
Hank to cristobal:”Your girlfriend killed all my buddies”
We now live in a world where filmmakers created one of the most disturbing, most brutal, most anxiety inducing 'monster' scenes using nothing but a fucking wall and a gallon of fake blood.
Anyone else get serious "justify my love" vibes from the silhouette of the guy dancing early in the clip? Maybe more specifically, the Wayne's world parody where Garth dances in the black body suit.
TBF the dancer is very artistic and talented 🤣🤣🤣 The discipline it takes to build that physique, learn to dance, and play the piano well is no joke!
I think Hank’s change of expression at the end is because he’s realized that now both he and Cristobal have no buddies.
i thought this was a fever dream and hank was actually still in the cell at first.
Cristobal's utter lack of reaction after his wife is shot...that man is CHECKED OUT!
Whe he starts playing the piano 😂😂😂😂
Hank had one of the most traumatic character development arcs
I hope these two can be happy together
Pretty sure he's dead. if you watch again, he stops breathing. The next scene with Barry burying the dead guy symbolises he's demise.
Hank narrative wasn't part of Barry main arc which I didn't expect.
Still has a hard time believing that the Mayan bishop actor is playing a sensitive gay guy
lmao yeah especially considering his stance against gays on the Mayans show
It's like a 007 mission except for nothing like that
I'm pretty sure I barely took a breathe during this whole episode, it left me feeling crippled with anxiety 😆
okay but the way Cristobal didn't even flinched hearing two shots is
This entire sequence was so well done you kinda feel bad for wverybody!
This scene was so powerfull. In my heart I'd like to believe that this is actually the end of their story.
This was one of the best 30 minute episodes in tv history
3:12 was he looking at us?
Thats something very beautifull and gruesome.
This is television at its finest.
I really thought cris would have been a vegetable after this, what actually happened was just as bad
What is that song???? That music he dances to?
In latinoamerica we dance all kind of things , the song is call : the cumbia boliviana from bonny lovy .
Is kinda a catchy

Cristóbal it is never going to be the same again
I haven't felt this confused since I saw Brad Pitt as Achilles in Troy.
Lmao Micheal ibry so good at being Cristobol I can't take him serious in the Mayans series at all
And season 4 happened
My guess is either he stabbed Hank for killing his wife or he saw more guards behind Cristobal or perhaps the rest of his family is there
I gotta be honest with y'all i actually cried watching that it was so cathartic, can't wait for s4
😭
Season 4 is worse 😭
@@alyssalouard8549 no shit, i was crying even harder at ep 4
Glad I watch this comedy so my anxiety gets a break from life..... oh
To watch him as Bishop on the mayans then see him on Barry. They couldn't be more different characters lol
She went full Mike Pence mode.
