I come back to this scene often. Mags presented one of the greatest antagonists of the series, between Mags and Boyd this is what made Justified the greatest show on screen. Beautiful performances.
Mags was easily one of the most important characters of the entire series. And she is so perfect for her role. She can command a scene without over acting. Her performance leaves a memory even if she herself does not. I bet she has been a great mother in real life.
I don't know. Season 2 is great because of the Bennett storyline, but Season 3 was so much fun with Quarrels, and Season 4 with the Drew Thompson mystery, and then Season 6 with the Markham showdown. I just don't know...too much great came from this series! It's one of those that you wished never ended but you're glad it ended when it did!
"It was already in the glass, not in the jar" Mags was my second favorite antagonist next to Boyd. She was so well written and Ms Martindale was perfect for the role.
I like to think she remembers her conversation with Helen about ending the fight between their families too. I never thought she'd actually poison Raylan out of pure respect.
Quite possibly one of the most underrated actresses in American culture. Brilliant and menacing in almost everything she does. Mags and the Bennets were a great bunch of characters in the Justified universe and everyone played their part to absolute perfection.
A great cop show requires great bad guys, and Justified had some of the best. the Bennett boys, Wynn Duffy, Nicki Augustine, Arlo, Robert Quarles, Limehouse, and of course, Boyd Crowder. And Margo just killed it in every scene she was ever in. God I loved this show.
Part of what I liked is the complexity and variety of the bad guys. Limehouse and Quarles are both criminals, but...I mean, give me Limehouse every day, you know?
Got damn, this show was so good. Dialogue, story, pacing, cast, music, oh my. The younger folk may not realize it, but it is a rare thing indeed to have a show be this f'n good from the first episode to the final one. A lot of shows start off hot for the first few seasons, and then they fizzle out. Justafied didn't drag on too long, and it didn't rush to finish. There was never, and I mean never, a bad episode. There wasn't one episode that didn't drive the story forward. Even with all the sub-plots orbiting around the central story, Justified never got off track or lost sight of itself. Loose ends? Not one. Everything was buttoned up, and you got that wonderful satisfaction that comes once in a blue moon. Justified achieved something that all shows should aspire to obtain. Perfection. If you haven't watched this show, please go and check it out. You will not be disappointed. The only thing you will be is sad when you realize it has to end.
I loved that no matter how adversarial their relationship was Rylan always treated Mags respectfully and appeared to try and put her best interest at heart when he spoke to her. Maybe that's why she chose to end her life in his presence. To, in some way pay, him back for all the kindness her offered her. Raylan was a Givens but Mags could see he wasn't part of the feud that existed between her and his kin. I think she really cared for Loretta and knew that Raylan would take care of her.
Am from Ethiopia and & Mags Bennett is one of my best characters in history of TV. That tells you what kind of excellent writing this is, they created a character as universal and as relatable from Kentucky to Ethiopia. 👌👌👌
Boardwalk Empire is a lot of fun (very heavy on nudity and sex, though), and more recently, Succession is amazing. Also, a good overlooked show is Chuck.
i wanna go home 😢 but, there's no going back. that place, was a field of clover so sweet you could eat it & so soft to lay in and we would walk the creek searching for crawdads & mudpuppies. buttermilk soaked cornbread & jowl bacon to start the day catching fireflies at night while the grown folks sat on the porch hardly saying a word.
The thing about this moment...you don't know if Mags is MORE homicidal or suicidal. Probably both. Ultimately, with the 2 kids she mostly cared about dying, and what she did to Loretta, she was primarily suicidal. But when this came out, it wasn''t clear that Raylan wasn't being given a fatal dose.
She could have just as easily taken them both out. She clearly had more cups lines with poison but she specifically took one from below the Cunard and one upside down above the table.
true detective s1, fargo s1, mr robot S4-5 beats it the shield S5 and S7 (the final 4 eps beats anything in this season of justified) attack on titan S3, Person of interest S3, Bojack horseman season 6, Narcos S1 and S2, 12 monkeys S3 and S4 ALL beat this season
She could have ended Raylan just as easily, but she knew her ambitions were over and she wasn't petty. Maybe the best "Girl Boss" character ever made. Ruthless, strong, intelligent, even noble. Just a great character, also a great feminist character if you give a crap about that.
This is what people don't understand. This is the clash of two different rules. Harlan's and The law. they all might be criminals but they all follow the rule of Harlan. Remember, Loretta said she teamed up with Boyd towards the end. and reminded him he is an upstanding member of Harlan.
Wrong. She wasn't eyeing it to be sure which one it was. The one with the poison already in it is the one she kept sitting upright in the lower cabinet that she took out and kept in her left hand, then set in front of her. The glass she gave Raylan was the one kept upside down on the shelf to keep the inside clean that she had in her right hand and set in front of him. She was just pausing for her "this is it" moment to think about how what she was about to do to herself was what she had done to so many others and to make her final decision to end herself.
@@shadopard7527 No. If you listen at the end she reassured Raylan that the poison was just in the glass not the jar so he didn't have to worry, and then said "Put an end to my troubles. Get to see my boys. Get to know the mystery.", because her family was nearly all dead or all would be soon when the last one went in to prison (because he couldn't survive in there) and she wanted to see heaven and the mystery of what comes next since there was nothing left for her here on earth.
@@kevinfleming9919 I got all that. Suicide is still a big step. And she could have given him it then taken it herself if she still wanted out. She could have planned to take herself out and been secondguessing. Could also have thought about taking Raylan out and reconsidered. Murdersuicides are a thing when people feel trapped at the end of their rope.
@@shadopard7527 she didn't want to kill him, just herself. They were friends before he became a Marshall and even after he did were never true enemies. She WASN'T considering giving him the poisoned glass. As she stated, she ONLY wanted to end her life. Get a transcript of the show that will detail it, and what she is supposed to be thinking in her head during the scene, better for you if you can't follow the show and it's history.
@@ColoniaCroisant On watching it more closely, you are exactly correct. A little earlier in the scene, when Loretta is still in the room, she gets a small glass that has flowers painted on it (I think) but never uses it; it's not included in this clip, but I think it was from the upper shelf, and we'll never know if that glass was poisoned or not. When she offers Raylan a drink, she gets a glass out of the cabinet in her left hand (0:46), and takes one off the upper shelf with her right (0:49); she goes over to the table and sets down the shelf glass in her right hand closer to Raylan's side (0:58, we hear the glass hit the table and just get a glimpse of it as Raylan walks towards her), and she still has the cabinet glass in her left hand as she sits down (1:00).
@@MacDavies01 Thanks so much for catching my error! Yes they are both wonderful, and either way people should watch the Left Overs, it's an amazing series, that went way to far below the radar. If you're a fan of shows like Lost, you'll really dig it.
Mags Bennet was my favorite female villain on here. Smart, devious, and deadly. Too bad her boys were such idiots. It would have been interesting to see them as smart and cunning as Mags going head to head with Boyd and Raylan.
One of the best series in modern tv history. Hard to beat Timothy's acting. I was always hoping Raylan's character would be in a major motion picture directed by Mike Mann. A real shoot 'em up. The sequel Tim was in was very disappointing.
When I got laid off back in 2014 I had lot's of time on my hands for a while. Sending out applications but no interviews. Watched this whole show. And yes, this plot was the best. Some of the others, meh. Except for Dewy. He was fantastic.
Wait, isn’t it the same way this actress died on Dexter??? Pretty sure she ate a poison cake to help her pass from lung cancer.. Too bad the riders couldn’t come up with a new way 🤷🏻♂️
She was just beat. Broken down by her own choices. Ruined her empire, turned against the community, now universally hated and only feared and not respected. Throw in one boy killed, the other in jail, and the law closing in on her... Her race was run. Actually, it strikes me as very fitting that she'd go out solely on her own terms. Not let anyone else have a say in what she would be. Mags was one of so many great characters in that show.

This is why she got the emmy

You know the series is great when accomplished, known actors hound their agents for a spot on that show. Look how many outstanding guests they had.
I think I love Margo Martindale in EVERY role I've ever seen her in. An amazing actress.
A series were the baddies are also loveable. Well most of them anyway.
Mags was easily one of the most important characters of the entire series. And she is so perfect for her role. She can command a scene without over acting. Her performance leaves a memory even if she herself does not. I bet she has been a great mother in real life.
Best villain of the show, besides Boyd I guess.
@@vanillabadboy4469 Antagonist, but not a villain.
She was really good in the Americans too
Fine actress and series.
She got a career boost of Mags Bennett
Mags Bennett. Truly an amazing villain.
I have watched this entire series twice. When it starts to fade from my memory, I'll watch it again.
I’ve watched it at least three times now. I couldn’t even watch the sequel once. What a disappointment.
The bennet family storyline was def the height of the series of course thanks to margos portrayal of a ruthless momma….it felt so epic
I don't know. Season 2 is great because of the Bennett storyline, but Season 3 was so much fun with Quarrels, and Season 4 with the Drew Thompson mystery, and then Season 6 with the Markham showdown.

A magnificent character played by a superb actress.
Her performance was one of the best I've seen on TV or movies.
The actress who played Mags was OUTSTANDING.
Well she is renowned character actress Margo Martindale
She’s amazing.
"It was already in the glass, not in the jar"
Mags was my second favorite antagonist next to Boyd. She was so well written and Ms Martindale was perfect for the role.
She'd never dream of spoiling the Whiskey in the Jar...'Apple Pie'...
One of my favorite characters in the whole show. Hands down. Just loved her through n through

She was great in The Americans.
Margo won a Best Supporting Actress Emmy for this role. Maybe before Justified, but hardly 'underrated' since.
She's not underrated though.
Do you not know what the word "underrated" means? She's quite well-known and acclaimed.

I can’t really call Limehouse a bad guy. He’s certainly a criminal, but no more than Raylan.
Neal McDonough as Quarles had one of my favorite lines of the show.
"Oh shit, it's a piggy bank!!"
@@dwells37 McDonough is so great as a villain. He's the only reason "Red 2" and "Yellowstone Season 2" were as enjoyable as they were!

Season 2 of Justified has the best writing & acting I've seen on television. Just great stuff...
might not be fo me but i couldbt be bothered after season 2 i just watched fullmetal alchemist instead
When I can't find a show that catches me, this, The Sopranos and the shield are three I always find myself wandering back to.
boardwalk empire
I just got done Sopranos and started this and its great
Boardwalk Empire is a lot of fun (very heavy on nudity and sex, though), and more recently, Succession is amazing. Also, a good overlooked show is Chuck.

She’s a wonderful actress. I was so sorry when her character died.
Loved her in The Americans, just as good in Justified. Bojack really nailed her being a legendary character actress.

I never usually comment or ask creators for anything, but please keep the justified content coming!
Yes, give us all the Justified clips!
Gotta love character actress Margo Martindale
I never noticed that she grabs the glasses from two separate places before
You never keep the glass you laced with poison in the same place you keep your drinking glasses.
noticed it here, because when we were first watching, we didn't know what to look for.
@@theo-jamesmoulton2000 God forbid someone is visiting and gets thirsty...
She’ll never leave Harlin alive.
Seriously the fact raylan and Boyd both ain't dead at the end was amazing to me. But that's why I loved the show
As Boyd says... no one but Raylan ever seems able to...
They just dont make em' like they used too... this show was phenomenal
I love how they did this that for a few moments you know one of them was poisoned, but you dunno who!
I thought that her and the actress that played the young girl were both brilliant in this series
The young actress was phenomenal. She's almost as good on the sitcom with Tim Allen.
Loretta was perfect. an it all comes full circle, and she will be the new Mags.
She is an excellent actress. Strange how Rayland didn’t notice how she got the glasses from different places but then he did have a bullet in him.
Damn what a series. To bad what they did to the 'new' one.
It was already in the glass...
Great actress, broke my heart when were the millers got canceled.
This season and the one with the quareles character the best of the entire show
That is a great scene!!
Two serious gun shot wounds and they both walk around like it's nothing. Hogwash, bullets hurt.
This actress was fantastic.
Great actress so diverse
All she needed was the perfect key lime to go with it
Anyone ever hear of Phelps Ky ? Where my Moma was from, her Daddy died in a mine cave-in in 1955 across the Tug River in Freeburn WVA in 1955.
That was an awesome scene…might have to look this show up
Damn this show was amazing.
After all that, this is how the Bennett/Givens War ended.
Mags lost Doyle and Coover, she most likely didn't want to see her shit turned upside down.
I love the theme song....
Yes She was 😎💯
"Oh no! Ya done gone smell blind!"
couldn't finish the damn song?
Does she get the apple pie out of that lower cabinet? Or is that the special glass, and a clean one off the upper shelf for Raylan?
Poison glass was kept hiddin in the cabinet, regular glasses kept in sight on the upper shelf

Brad Paisley - you'll never leave Harlan alive
Patty Loveless’s rendition is haunting and beautiful ❤❤❤
Darrell Scott's is the best
Season 2 was the best.
I would so be onboard for a show where Margo Martindale was a crime boss. They need to make that.
She died by poison in Dexter as well.
Deep dark hills of Eastern Kentucky
Great story, but it hurt my soul...

I dont understand her glass looked empty, what is in the glass that poisons her? Wouldnt we see the powder. Im just wondering.
Because of the ending of City Primeval, I’m thinking they’re going to bring it back to let Raylon and Boyd end it.
What was the poison? I imagine it's hemlock and belladonna.
One of the best series in modern tv history. Hard to beat Timothy's acting. I was always hoping Raylan's character would be in a major motion picture directed by Mike Mann. A real shoot 'em up.

The TV kind.
I thinks it actually mentioned I just can't for the life of me remember
Hemlock
@matthewannehummel4599 hemlock , is very deadly
Am I the only one who's surprised she wouldn't have poisoned Raylan at this same time, as revenge for Dale and Coover?
I'm not surprised. She knew they went out for good reason. She's bad but she's not evil, that would be a curveball for her character.

My thought was that she left Raylan with his closest brush with death - and his fate was in her hands. That thought would haunt anyone.
@@bootsnthejeep don't forget raylan also killed her other son, coover. raylan survived that day only by the will of mags bennett.
@@donkeyears4704 AND this was right after Loretta found out Mags had killed her dad and Raylan had to talk her out of killing her for it.
