Fuches admits that he has been lying to himself in different ways for a long time, and even acknowledges that the only thing that will make you forget the awful things you’ve done is “by being someone else.” Hank understands exactly what Fuches is saying, and he knows what a good deal he is being offered. So rather than seek vengeance, Fuches offers Hank an out: if Hank can stop his own current performance and admit that he played a role in Cristobal’s death, Fuches will walk away and never trouble him again. Fuches has spent the last few episodes giving the most extreme performance of them all as the Raven, but the news that Barry has a son, coupled with the guilt he still feels about being such a terrible father figure to Barry, has ever so slightly snapped him back to reality. Barry is en route to confront Hank and kill anyone who stands between himself and Sally and John(*), but in the meantime, we see Hank’s men and the Raven’s flock squaring off in the lobby of NoHoBal’s corporate headquarters. And Barry Berkman keeps telling himself that he is a good person, in spite of the trail of bodies in his wake.Īll of this comes to a head in a sequence not featuring the title character at all. NoHo Hank styles himself as a slick operator to cover for the fact that he’s afraid to do all of the brutal things required of a master criminal.
Sally Reed misrepresents the story of her abusive relationship in Joplin because she’s ashamed of what she actually did.
So Gene Cousineau positions himself as a great actor wronged by the system, rather than as a jerk nobody wanted to work with. Over time, though, it became about a different kind of performance: the ones we do for ourselves, rather than for each other, in an attempt to push away the truths we don’t want to have to confront.
TAKE AS NEEDED FOR PAIN HANK 3 SERIES
The series began as a Hollywood satire, illustrating the thin line that exists between killing on stage and killing in real life.
This line by Monroe Fuches is perhaps the most important sentiment expressed at any point during these four seasons of Barry. This post contains spoilers for the Barry series finale, “Wow.”
