Waystar Royco gets raided by FBI (Episode Ending) | Succession Season 3, Episode 3

- Опубликовано: 31 окт 2021
- Logan tries to wiggle his way out of the DOJ investigation that's been coming, but he fails, and the FBI winds up pounding on the doors of Waystar HQ until Logan can do nothing but capitulate.
While Tom is in the middle of a pitch to advertisers, the building gets raided by FBI.
Gerri is taking the idea of being CEO a tiny bit more seriously than some may have anticipated. You can also see that she's more willing to play it straight with Logan than she has been in the past - for instance, she has no patience left for his "tell them to f*** off" attitude about federal law enforcement. "This is a show of resolve," she tells him. There is nothing they can do but open the doors. On the one hand, you could argue that Gerri standing for the idea of submitting to a perfectly meritorious FBI investigation is less evil than if she had suggested that they, for instance, bribe somebody. But that's not why she's doing it, and there's nothing good for Gerri - nothing - in getting deeper and deeper into running Waystar.

“Uh guys, little heads up: there are some agents of federal law enforcement raiding the premises… so if you see that. That’s what that is.” Lol Fucking love Tom.
Tom is the GOAT. That speech he did was great until the FBI crashed it.
There is a theory I’ve seen that says Tom is an informant. There’s a scene earlier in the episode where Tom makes a call to an attorney after he tests both Logan and Shiv about him being the scapegoat for everything, and both Logan and Shiv give no real assurances that he’ll be protected or that they care. Since the raid happens after that, the theory goes that Tom + Kendall might have been enough for the DOJ to execute a search warrant.
@@willmccormick8916 He basically said „our viewers fell out of the relevant advertisement age group decades ago“ though lmao
He’s the best
@@Citiprime wow I’m shook
The single best part of this scene is when Logan says “Why don’t we just ask if they can comeback tomorrow” 😂😂😂 Can you imagine the level of privilege to even consider that as an option. Best Show
Top one percent people
@@olivecbe9657 i don't think that's even 1 percent. Less than 0.5% i guess
Top 0.001%
Or that he thought calling the President's senior advisor again would help
Logan F-up he got no business talking to Michelle Ann the president special advisor while he's being investigated the old man is slipping
That fucking score is MAJESTIC
Agree. It’s my new favourite part of the score. Just gorgeous. I need a season 3 album fast.
Ikr, where do I find this seasons music with no dialogue. Can't find it anywhere, and the OST has been absolutely amazing so far
@@jordz2266 I assume the season 3 album will release after the season ends. I listen to 1 & 2 all the time.
The whole room went dark with the Cello....and it stayed dark and intense.....and moved into absolute dread....moving dread. Magnificent
It reminds me of the end of GoT S6 Wildfire.
"No these are the guys who don't fuck off" was intense man. Everyone nailed it...
You don't tell the FBI to F-off well said Gerri
Nicholas Britell KILLED IT scoring this scene. It feels like the end of the world
whats with the sarcasm?
@@damienspectre4231 no sarcasm, I meant that lol
right??? im trying to figure out which song this is titled on the official soundtrack. it had me floored
@@nectarineuroticism Is the official soundtrack out yet?? I thought they hadn't released it
@@gabet.1880 They hadn't.
Seeing Logan take the L here so so satisfying. And Ken’s smile at the end….man
Ken's smile, it gave me chills.
L to the O G
@@clifthanger6653 he did that L to the fuckin* OG😂
Logan 2.0 from season 2 finale.
What L ? The FBI dropped the case and he still ended up winning end of season 3
The fact Roman is complete silent, no banter, wisecracks, nothing, only underlines how serious this moment was.
Of course the moment is serious. Nice fucking observation. Roman’s behaviour is more relevant with respect to the dialogue he had with his father a few moments earlier. He had just decided not to sign the letter.
@@twoone5155 no need to be a dick about it
@@seanreidy2584 Right! Total overreaction.
roman also got ripped by his dad the scene before this one so i'm sure he was quite emotional from that as well.
@@idea1istic yeah I like how the show gives us little bits like that which shows how fraught their relationship is (when Logan slaps Roman in season 2 also comes to mind)
Gerri, so often the punching bag, being the first person throughout the series to truly stand up to Logan and force him to do something he didn't wanna do is NOT something I could have ever foreseen. Such a great moment.
Bbbbjjio
Gerri for the win 👌
Gerri is the type of women you need by your side
Gerri Alert!🚨 Gerri Alert! 🚨
Gerri is the smartest so I wasn't surprised.
The sigh of relief when Logan says “cooperate”
The power at display and the acting is just staggering.
You don't make more believable as a mogul than Logan Roy played by Brian Cox. Cinema is make believe, you're supposed to believe said character is a very powerful man, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and rarely does it work as well as with the Roys. When I watch it, I believe I'm following some of the wealthiest persons on earth, because the writing, the acting, the directing, the music (Nicholas Britell reaaaaaaaaally helps ^^;), everything is grandiose. Logan is closer to a roman emperor than anything else.
Roman learned his lesson the last time. Don't say a dam thing
The juxtaposition with Kendall abandoning the show while Logan was ready to face up to his Demons just further highlighted how different Ken and Logan are
That room is arguably more powerful than the Oval office. The Oval office acts on policy, both domestic and foreign that very likely originated, and later shaped, moulded, and eventually fed to American voters originating from that room.
Watching Logan have NO moves and have to take the beating was SOOOOO satisfying.
The weakest he's looked since getting sick in the first season
And yet he still looks so much more powerful than kendall. It's crazy how he is never completely breaking down. Logan is truly fascinating and he kind of illustrates the difference between someone who came from nothing and clawed his way up and his children who were born with all the privilege in the world yet haven't achieved anything by themselves.
Right?
@@user-lr2iy7mc7w this is the best kendall we have seem
@@user-lr2iy7mc7w There's no way Kendall develops the kind of thick skin and resilience Logan has developed throughout his childhood and years in the business.
3:14
How Nicholas Britell manages to throw it back to the main theme or motif every time is just astonishing.
WOW didn’t even notice the transition back to the main theme!!!
1:53 the way Tom speaks is so articulate and so cool
It helps that he didn't actually think of that on the spot.
@@ytchannel6569 LMAO
"Gerri gets it, she's not afraid of the dark ." - Tom Wambsgans, CEO of Waystar Royco.
The best episode of succession yet. This could have ended a season. Yet it was only the 3rd episode.
I know. The new music too. It’s breathtaking
Ok I wouldn’t say this tops the s1 or s2 finale though 🧐
I don't know if it was the best one for me but like top 3 easily. Absolutely amazing.
Definitely best of the last 3 episodes (s3 ep 1- 3)
cathy yan KILLED it
That score is "Light of The Seven" perfection including the perfect end buildup before the credits!!
"light of the seven" is from game of thrones, when cersei blows up the sept
@@amanuel221 exactly! This ending score is at the same level as Light of the Seven! That’s what he is also saying :)
THANK YOU!!!! It's amazingly suitable and perfect for this scene.
King in the north and warrior of light are the best
The way the score picks up in intensity when the FBI is walking in and continues to after the credits start, oh my god. I’ve gotten chills like three times watching this, what an amazing sequence
Tom being informed of the raid mid-speech gave me very "Bush on 9/11" vibes.
😲 Wow!
Nice catch.
Matthew Macfayden consistently blows me away with his ability to emote in incredibly subtle ways. Magnificent actor .
And then continues to read "My Pet Goat" 🐐
Nicholas Britell is a genius. Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong are geniuses. Everybody involved in the making of that show are fucking geniuses.
Agree. I have been a fan of Jeremy since I saw The Big Short.
A good amount of the cast and crew attended Ivy League or Top 20 schools (for Fine Arts)...and it shows.
@@complicatedairflow3385 “says you”
@@vaughnamir.6457 Ivy League schools have nothing to do with it, no offense
@@coldblackice sure it was pure talent, and they learned nothing from their classes, born with the knowledge of writing, cinematography, camera placement, what angles help show and exaggerate the emotions, Nicholas Britell was a savant and knew everything about music at birth. Yeah they learned nothing from going to classes. Im sure they have talent and ideas of their own, but spending all that money for top schools and getting nothing, not learning anything to improve their ideas and talent? Ok.
I noticed how different Geri’s tone is since she’s been put in charge (on paper). Instead of deference to Logan, she’s almost barking at him in this scene. Almost as if she’s very close to being done with his bullshit. If she decides to make a move against Logan, either to save herself or just to solidify her position with the company at Logan’s expense, I could see Roman going with her over his family.
I think the framing of Roman standing right behind Gerri as she yells at Logan definitely hints to that
@@socrappyicoulddie Im just happy a TV show is so good it has us wondering about the spacing of the characters again
Definitely. This is the season where the “peasants” outplay the rich.
Well remember, Logan might be the one making decisions but it's Gerri who is the one taking responsibility for them. Ultimately she would be the one liable for playing hardball with armed FBI agents. So she's essentially fighting for her life in this scene. She needs to somehow get it through to Logan that there aren't any other moves left. That's what fuels her anger and her confidence and ultimately allows her to find the right sequence of words to make the old guy get it.
In fairness, she's the company's legal counsel and Logan's been stalling for days. She knows the legal significance of the FBI as a _lawyer_ in a way that wealthy billionaires who think they're above the law, like Logan, don't.
One thing I'm really pleased about is how they haven't saturated the show with lots of new faces as a result of the investigation opening up. Had they gone down the route of introducing a load of FBI characters investigating the corruption, it would've really taken away from the central focus of the show. Imagine all the work being done behind the scenes to bring the Roy family down, and we just have no knowledge of it. It's best they keep it that way.
Really good point, the quality of production, writing and overall flow of the story needs to be appreciated, this is one of those shows where everyone involved really come together as a strong team to create an incredible series
Agreed, but at this point I have so much trust in Jesse Armstrong and the writers that I’m sure they’d make an excellent job of it too.
Well the whole thing ended up being a slap on the wrist anyway so no point introducing FBI characters
@@Mopark25 yeah, which would probably be true to the real world lol
I never really paid attention to how much we get to live in the little elite bubble with the Roys. The rocket explosion was barely a c-plot here where in other shows (not in an insulting way, it works when that's the show) it could've been a season-long central theme. I'm pretty sure Roman and Gerri were the only characters to even think twice about it, so we drop it completely too.
Edit: I know it frustrates some people that that's the show, because it comes across as low-stakes, but it's right up my alley lol
100% rooting for Gerri winning. She got to the top all on her own due to her own character and skill all while navigating the monster that is Logan. Deserves it and would do it better than any of Logan's kids.
Amen
Me too but I'm worried they won't because she's old:(
I'm worried because she's not a Roy and ultimately this show is about the Roys :( I think she's gonna get thrown under the bus
She's a million years old
@@socrappyicoulddie she's smarter than all of them combined if she goes down she would bring them down with her.
Matthew's performance is on a whole other level! And his American accents is brilliant🏆🔥
Roman's reaction throughout the scene and 1:23 in particular really illustrates the gravity of the moment. Silent, without humor, resigned and observant. He understands how serious this is.
It's not the first time he's like that, though.
@@SCharlesDennicon doesn't make it any less of a serious situation. Which it is and the scene portrayed it as such!
I just comment about that, I like to watch his reactions, say a lot what is going on (and because I have a huge crush on Kirean Culkin)
That glimmer of hope that's reflected in Kendall's eyes at end of episode is something very strong. After being humiliated by his own sister he is finding strength to fight back. Amazing scene..literal chills ❤️
He likely has immunity. Remember he was the one that asked for the raid to begin with. They couldn't yet get approved. They got it approved.
It was satisfying, especially after that low blow from his sister
Love it when the FBI actually does their job like this and goes after the white collar psychos.
The Roys are a bit more than white collar psychos.
Well, this result in nothing. Like we say in Brazil, it ended with pizza.
Well, it is a work of fiction
"What a season huh?
Lemon it's the 3rd episode."
God damn this show just gets better and better! This feels like it could've been a finale and we're not even halfway through yet lmao
Omg i know. Like wtf is this season, like it’s getting better and better. Just full beast. The music the story acting everything is perfect and what I wanted.
Love how this is especially true for season 4
One of the best episodes of the show so far. Fucking incredible
The music in this scene and throughout the entire show is phenomenal. It sets the tone for what's happening perfectly.
Tom trying to subtly explain it is too funny 😂😂😂
I love that Ken smile mirrors that of Logan in the end of season two. Just awesome.
Gerri absolutely bodied this scene
I would love to have Gerri as my second in command like Picard to Riker on star trek
Gosh the collective relief at 1:02 when he says “we’ll cooperate”
This is probably one the most iconic original score for a series ever made. What a great fuckin chapter finale 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The music is just out of this world! 💯💯💯
There needs to be an awards show made just for handing out trophies to everyone involved in Succession
There is no other woman that could work at the top with Logan. Gerri might seem nice and loyal but to be next to Logan she has to be an absolute beast and the actress displayed it perfectly here.
Tom was mad calm. Psycho calm even, when breaking the FBI news to the ATN team.
Nick Brittell channeling Phillip Glass, this score felt so damn cinematic
This scene captured genuine fear: Geri mad, Logan knowing there was no way out, Roman's silent, and then finally uttering the words you never thought you would hear Logan speak, "cooperate". So big, so vital, so awesome.
My absolute favorite thing about this scene is the dramatic, sweeping build of the new music in the credits, until it fades into a softer simple piano version of the main title theme. It's like Nicholas Britell is reminding us what we're watching, what's really happening, the tragic grandeur of all the preceding events leading to one simple reality: succession. This titan of industry is eventually going down, everybody's gunning for his throne, and the stakes are rising. It's a mixture of inevitability and challenge. Love it
Mar-a... oh forget it.
The music 🔥🔥🔥
is this released, or will this be in the season 3 ost?
@@amanuel221 season 3 ost
Nicholas Britell 💙☺️
Absolutely, what a powerful OST
Gerri is the best consultant, she knows when to speak up and when to keep quiet.
The music is so dramatic and I love it
I love how Logan briefly hesitates and moans before that "can we call Southern District?". He didn't see this one coming.
I came here for the ending score! this piece in this season is just amazing, makes you really feel how serious the situation is.
This soundtrack is pure magic ✨✨
Incredible music
Key change at 2:13 is incredible. Britell truely is on another level.
I remember when I watched this for the first time and the music reached its climax....one of the best musical moments on succession for sure.
Incredible score on this scene. First show in forever where I can't wait for Sundays.
By far one of my favourite scenes ever from this show
This show is so well done like I’m actually speechless, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any show on that level before.
"These are the ones who don't fuck off."
Gerri's best scene.
This show is so phenomenally detailed. We all expected Logan to throw some tirade and antagonize the FBI to the bitter end, but instead we see him slowly, painfully realize he's been cornered and concede defeat. Logan may be a brute, but in a true crisis he stops, thinks, and acts in the best way to minimize damage. It's what made him such an effective CEO.
He knew even he couldn't push against this one.
This moment, this scene, is what roman meant when he says "we're bullshit" to kendall in the series finale. He didn't even said a thing in the entire scene, just standing there like a statue because he knew that he's just bullshit and don't know shit about managing a company. Bravo writers, Bravo.
Kieran Culkin's nuanced silent performance here tells you everything Roman is thinking.
1. You go, girl! Blast that old man.
2. Oh, shit. I'm going to be eating Alpo out of the can next week.
The MUSIC man !!!! Its incredible.
Chills. That music. Holy crap.
This fucking score makes me cry everytime I can't explain why but just the weight and dread it carries.
1:23 and the build up from 2:28 especially, with the FBI rushing into the building and then with Ken just staring into his phone. Just. So. Good. So good I want to listen to it all the time but it makes me also very unproductive, I feel too emotional.
.
.
Britell is a genius.
RIGHT??
I am right there with you, one of the biggest reasons this scene hits as hard as it does
I KNOW!!!!! The score is amazing every single minute of the show. It's perfection. I love every note.
"tell em to fuck off" had me scream laughing
the music is a masterpiece
This scenes score needs to be taught in music schools, the complexity and power it had is astonishing. I am blown away by this series.
Gerri has always been a voice of reason and she is on fire here. She also seems pretty fed up with all the bullshit that is going on. I fckin love Gerri!
0:28 you tell him Gerri
This series is something else and its even more scary when you realise that this happens in reality. There is always someone like Roys who are controlling your life without you knowing.
I loved how table turns and kendall's mood changed from sad to hopeful :D
"That's what that is". Love Tom.
Who is here because of Mar-a-Lago raid by the feds?
This score is absolutely brilliant, I was watching this scene with literal chills. Seeing Logan have nowhere to run was just pure poetry. He knows he lost.
And now he's dead!
Literally Mar a Lago rn 💀
Anyone wants to talk about the music? It's epic I have goosebumps every time
1:21 Love that line. Hahah I totally forgot about images burning into the screen. Leave a game on pause and come back 4-5 hours later and your TV is fucked, possibly permanently.
I think this was a nod to Fox News. I heard they had to change their logo because of this. not sure if it happened with anything back then though.
I watched this scene 6 times and i got chills every single time
Tom is speaking of the company's values when he gets, then announces, the news of the FBI raid. Such great writing!
We forget the brilliance of the soundtrack while seeing the brilliance of the scene.
The greatest show of all time
I have seen it like a hundred times. It's like Armageddon. Superb writing, acting and editing!!
Can we talk about how we haven't seen music this profound in film or television since, say, Godfather??
Thrones
You need to watch better content my guy.
@@universalpower419 Music hipster has entered the chat...
“The FBI is downstairs”
“Tell them to fuck off!”
“Yeah these are the ones who don’t fuck off”
😂😂😂😂
Why does this scene and this soundtrack remind me of the light of the seven, and I’m not complaining. What a masterpiece
Get Leo, GET GET GET GET!
Britell please release that score 😫
I don't want this to ruin the evening, but agents of Federal Law Enforcement are currently raiding Mar-a-Lago... :D
"..These are the one that don't f*ck off" best line
That ending music tho 😍
Writing, Acting, Directing, Editing, Music, everything about the episode's climax was amazing
I absolutely loved this scene. The one time on the show where Logan is completely backed into a corner with no viable options. The change from the tough bravado to the quiet humility (however short it was) was so well done by Cox. I also love that Gerri makes Logan repeat "We're cooperating" as final confirmation to ensure this wasn't he wasn't just having a fleeting moment of panic and might change his mind.
best show on tv
And that's why Gerri was chosen to be CEO
Chills....literal chills
“They are coming up, and if you don’t open the door they will kick it in, and if you don’t open the filing cabinet they will pull out a crowbar”
I just love how Gerri is demonstrating how powerless they are at the moment.
Soo many emotions soo many memorable moments crammed into a short but amazing climax, gerri standing up to Logan, Roman silenced and terrified, Logan finally relenting, the exceptional score from Britell, and Kendall’s smirk, this feels like the ending of a grand arc in Shakespeare.
Logan's ready to use the big guns. You might think he's lost here but remember he still has something on Kendall.
In the second episode, Marcia hints to Logan about the dirt he has on Kendall and to use it to stop him. But Logan replies “ You drop some bombs, you get burned too, you know?” So he be hesitant because he’ll implicate himself as well.
@@ILoveFortnite1239 I was thinking the same thing. Logan helps his son to hide a murder so he becamed his accomplice and now, Logan has much more to loose than Ken
@@gonzalosaavedraalban the thing I don't understand though, that wasn't a murder. The guy took the wheel from Kendall and caused the car to crash into the lake, none of that was Kendall's fault.
@@verbalkint4258 That is true, maybe it is by reputation
kendall drived while high on potenuse and a guy died without kendall even announcing the police. These are the facts. Of course he broke the law
Tom definitely struck a deal with the FBI.
Disagree here
@@Shonuf023 I think you’re right given the trajectory of the season
The fact that even Shiv is watching PGN for actual news says a lot about ATN
She does keep saying how buying out Pierce would mean she can't get actual news about what happened where and who wore a hat so Shiv really hates ATN. I love that consistent detail.
Thank you for including the credits
Man, the score to all of this unfolding is just incredible
The music to this show is absolutely phenomenal
Damn I already miss that show so much
