Reminder that this actor was actually fucking dying from stomach cancer while filming this scene. Dude literally used his terminal illness to enhance his final few roles before he passed. If that isn't fucking badass then I don't know what is. RIP Julian Beck, you were a real one.
Julian Beck could play the best villains with just a look. He was criminally underrated as an actor. Sad he was going through cancer treatments that would eventually kill him while filming this. In Poltergeist II he was even more sinister and that ended up being his final film role.
Love how Tubbs describes exactly the way the banker will have the two of them offed if they interfere with his business - and his only response is "that door leads to the outer hallway"
Someone said that the banker explained in the most simplest terms how the world really works. After watching this video, I definitly agree with that person.
Welcome to the new world order kiddies. It goes by many different names, but today, let's just call it "Bidenomics" and its theme song is "Sympathy for the Devil." And it's coming faster than you know.
Back in 1988 my college Econ professor asked me in front of the class, to what I thought America’s role in the economy was. I remembered this episode from Miami Vice and quoted the banker and said “When America sneezes, everyone catches cold.” Man you could have heard a pin drop.
I was 21 when i watched this episode. This scene was the most memorable for me. It explained how the world really works, and its still the same nearly 40 years later
The actor playing the businessman does a top -notch job. He never raises his voice or curses, yet you can feel the evil and power eminating from him as he speaks.
This scene encapsulates everything that Miami Vice was about. From lowly drug dealers to corrupt billion dollar bankers. One crook always ready to take the place of the last. It's so very true to life. Miami Vice was the BEST!
I watched this episode when it first came on back in the 80's..one of the most realist breakdowns on any show anywhere. Michael Mann was beaming a message to us through that show and this one was as real as any message could be..even to this very day.
This was his last acting job He had cancer while shooting this and everyone was supporting him on the set He was struggling Just to shot this scene I read he was suppose to stand for his lines but they had him sit down to complete his lines He didn't want to be a bother they said He passed shortly and never got to see this episode Excellent actor
@@ExJWCriticalThinker I think the change from standing to sitting (also from Crockett and Tubbs) even improved the scene, the persons showing a more natural behaviour (even dramatic in the case of the banker).

Party Favors At its core , it's way beyond that , see Alex Jones , Steve Quayle.,and Joseph P. Farrell and the history of the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
This just goes to show that Miami Vice was more reality TV then what they call reality TV today. We just didn't know how corrupt things were back then and how far it actually went
@@fastingislife3766 Dixie mafia ran drugs for the cartels across the Gulf of Mexico really they still do but in the 80s the process was a bit easier a low flying plane would land in areas from the gulf all the way to the center of Dixie including a family of dealers not but a few miles from my grandmothers house on the old highway interstate system which was still an unfinished dirt road in 1985, the south was slow to rebuild from the civil war after all. But many teenagers who wandered off to the wrong area of the woods would be found face down and shot in the back of the head in the water and any mention of that was scrubbed from the news, like it never happened, the DEA even had to give the murderers a public apology. They were too big, alot of pure goes through them before it gets reprocessed and even today in 2024 they keep the old highway blocked with a truck to let the little people know not to wander that way.
He Summed up the whole show. You can't stop crime, but you can slow it down. Even today, the way banks work it's very scary and true how banks and drugs go hand in hand. And politicians get involved it makes scary sense.
America was so greatly committed to it's war on drugs, "Just Say No". That noble cause ran its course but didn't last long considering now that the U.S. outsourced the core of it's industry over seas to China. When the money dried up, states like California and Colorado legalized Marijuana for recreational use in defiance of it being still a felony. How did America loose its way?
Beck as the villain was great here. He's one of the only ones who never shot or even held a gun yet posed perhaps the biggest threat to Crockett and Tubbs.
The best scene of one of the best episodes on the whole series. It's easy now, but back in 1985, for someone to know your exact credit amount, bank balances, took a lot of power. And this guy just oozes corrupt power. And I'm pretty sure he was the template for the Simpsons Mr. Burns lol I love this scene...
This is yet another amazing example of the supporting cast of actors in Miami Vice. This actor had not only perfect timing and tone but also perfect delivery of a very long passage of monologue. It is simply a brilliant scene where the detectives can barely save face in front of this banker with ties to the underworld. This guy loans and launders more than a chain of dry cleaners.
Hi John, yes correct. Mr Beck has a wonderful way of speaking, dare I say a technique. This is why he is effective in his acting in a menacing tone. He speaks in a broken pace or rhythm. This makes the environment unsetteling to the other actors. Another classically trained actor also does this. Mr. Christopher Walken.
"Banker with ties to the underground." Appropriate choice of word. Despite the address on the business card Margaret gives them, the establishing shot clearly shows the Chrysler Building for this scene. As song says, "Where the underworld can meet the elite - 42nd Street."

If you think his performance gives you chills in this program. Check him out in poltergeist 2 where he was a lot creepier in that movie than he is here. 😨
Sometime, somewhere there was some sort of paradox that has funneled from 1913 when the Fed was created to become the crisis we are witnessing today, everything is backwards, nothing seems to make sense......this particular episode was a warning.....
This scene reminds me of the Clinton's . Everyone knows they are crooked even they know they are. Yet the power these people weild is scary and so far no one has been able to bring them down . Crockett tried his best to save face but the old man is so powerful sonny realizes there isn't anything he can do to touch him. Once that old man pointed his bony finger at Crockett it was a sign that he was in charge and it was going to be done his way and not according to the law. It was a bitter humbling experience and pill for sonny to swallow but he had to. So he took his parting shot by saying. I can't touch you I know that but you are dirty ace and I'm patient. To which the old just didn't give a hoot. Goes to show unbridled power always becomes corrupt.
Julian Becks acting is impeccable
He was dying at the time I think
Mr. Burns?

See how the banker dismisses the Black guy.
Much like a banker back in the eighties would have done. This scene was played out perfectly from start to finish.
