One of my top 5, and Emmy, Oscar and every Best Actor drama category scenes of all time for tv or streaming series of all time! "Because some some roads you shouldn't go down, because maps used to say 'There be dragons here', now they don't...but that doesn't mean the dragons aren't there" - Billy Bob Thornton, Fargo Season 1
@@GoreSmasher That other people thinks he's evil doesn't mean he intends to be evil. "You spent your whole life thinking there were rules. There are no rules." This is basically the epitome of Malvo and of Anomie - or what you could call a gate into nihilism. He doesn't prey on anyone in particular. He kills crime syndicates, rich and influential people, cops, housewives - he does not care. As long as it serves him. YOU could call that evil, but you're missing the point of the character if you do.
Actually it's a child's fantasy of pwning their daddy. Just try putting it into practice outside the fantasy world of TV and... you'll remain as forgotten as your comment.
For anyone saying this wouldn’t work or doesn’t work Malvo would have instantly killed any cop he suspected of being capable. He smelled his weakness and for some reason decided to throw him back like a fish too small to eat.
@Bill Parrish Yet questioned it with reference to some alleged superpower Malvo apparently possesses. "Yeah, I know it seems like someone would have to have super-persuasion powers to make this work, but you _could_ also do it if you were a mind reader." Better explanation. Malvo doesn't really care. Malvo would rather not kill the cop than kill him - if only for the possible difficulty it might cause - so if the cop takes the warning and walks away, fine. If Malvo has to kill him, almost as fine. It's an illustration of just how little Malvo cares about whether or not the cop survives meeting him: not even enough to try to bullshit the cop. It's just, "Look. How about you just go away?" One assumes there's a trail of cops who _didn't_ make the smart choice stretching out behind Malvo for quite some distance.
C'mon guys it's really simple. Malvo tried his scare tactic because it's easier than getting out of the car etc, though if he /had/ to get out of the car then he'd kill the guy and then drive away. It simply saves him some time and he gets to freak people out like he loves. There's no magic belonging here lol.
Malvo was a predator. He could spot other predators easily. He knew Grimly wasn’t one of them. Grimly himself said he never planned on becoming a cop. Malvo knew if he wanted to end Grimly he easily could’ve. But he knew he didn’t need his weapons when his words and his look would be sufficient to scare a man who’d probably dealt exclusively with broken taillights and noise complaints his entire career. Grimly knew when the conversation started that he was out of his depth.
is it just me or is the new season kinda just not on the same level? seems like its trying but doesn't quite match the quality of the earlier seasons. chris rock jus dont do it for me
Not only the cold air illuminated by the red lights, but it also struck me (after viewing the scene several times) that Officer Grimley is almost hypnotized by Malvaux's voice - it is as if a snake is hypnotizing its prey.
the end where Gus just simply looks at Lorne in complete confusion and awe like a child and is only able to mutter "sir?" reminds me so much of the scene with Anton and the shop keeper in no country for old men, the shop keeper at one point has the literal exact same facial expression as Gus with the same line he just softly says "sir?" after Anton another grown man asked him what time he went to bed at. The realization the person you're talking to is genuinely evil or has serious malicious intent that they thought they would never have to deal with in their normal mundane lives.
@@dannythomas417 yeah but Tom Hanks is a world class star. It is not fair to ask him to be like his father. maybe one day he can be.He is also a great actor too.
Honestly that line kind of ruined the whole intimidation factor for me. If I was the cop I'd assume he was high as fuck and would have cut him off and wound up dead for sure.
There is something wrong with all the 4 seasons of Fargo. Once you start watching, no matter how hard you try, you cannot stop watching till the final episode. The world of Fargo traps you and there is no escape.
Malvo can tell a fake good guy looking for an excuse to be evil, and a truly good guy just trying to do what's right. One he can manipulate and corrupt, the other he can only move out of his way.
Billy Bob is great here yes. But let's not discount the contribution that Colin Hanks (Gus) has here. His ability to play off Billy Bob's energy here is not easy to do. Many actors would try to shine too hard: "Look how scare I'm supposed to be." Not Colin. His fear is apparent but doesn't overshadow his conflict and inner turmoil. I promise you this scene looks much different otherwise. Fantastic support. One of the best scenes in TV.
Very well said. Couldnt agree more. If it was a different actor rather than Colin, the scene would have felt much different, the fear would be so cliche and too obvious.
At the first, and last shot, you could say the car's light symbolizes a brighter side, while Lorne's car significantly covering the frame is just darkness. Pretty good frame.
Started this series last night and can't believe I didn't watch it sooner. This entire scene I was like "Please listen to him dude, just walk away" lol. You know the other cop getting killed with a baby on the way eliminates any bluffs or boundaries. They did a great job setting up this scene.
"that don't mean the dragons aren't there"... is when you walk back to your car, call for backup and cover the suspect with your shotgun until everyone arrives.
The whole point of the scene was that Gus was intimated, and him letting salvo go is one of the biggest regrets and motivations of his actions for the rest of the season,
This is a counterpoint to the scene in the original movie, when Steve Buscemi tries to bribe a cop in the middle of the night, with disastrous outcomes.
Some people, who are definitely more observant than many others wrote jokingly that they supposedly tried the same thing on some road with a police officer, and then they had some issues with their (broken, as I think) bones. That was exactly the point. The scene is the explanation that the person in the car is definitely evil and for some reason, he decided not to kill an officer. That's the point, the evil man didn't want to kill a young man, a teenager in his eyes. This is how we know that the person in the car is not devoid of mercy.
One of the best performances in a tv show. Fun fact: This scene was shoot on two different days, both actors did not even see each other for this scene. Billy Bob Thornton did it a week earlier in a studio and Colin Hanks did it on location.
It really makes me wonder though , if there's a possibility that incidents similar to this have happened before ...where a suspect told a cop straight up to get back in his patrol car and keep it moving , due to the suspect being a legit badass but yet a professional who only harms targets hes getting paid to hit and doesn't wanna harm an innocent cop , things similar to this must have happened before atleast a handful of times , we just dont see or hear about it because the cops it happens too never speak on it
Only a real killer, who has actually dispatched a lot of people, has that look in his eyes that can make a man see into the future with as few words as possible.. Nobody wants to see a tombstone with their name on it..
0:06 - the car exhaust emits two clouds of steam as cop approaches - like a man approaching a sleeping dragon. Also at 0:47 - more streams of steam. This man has wandered into dangerous territory. Best he not awaken the sleeping giants.
This DOES NOT WORK, on most cops. It takes a very special kind of night and a special kind of cop for this to work on. Which is what makes this scene so incredible! Is because Lorn read him like a book before they even talked. Normally, he would have killed the cop. Just like the killer in the movie, fargo. But Lorne saw his weakness, as well as his value for his family. He knew, this cop has too much to loose. I don't need to kill him. I just need to warn him. About who he's dealing with, and that this is not the man to cross. Some roads, you DON'T go down. I've learned this lesson the hard way.
people saying it wouldn't work if they tried it. It's about congruence. There are non-verbal cues that are most important in his line. When a true killer who really means 'there be dragons here' says it, we pick up all the non-verbal vibe from him and the threat is real.

I tried this once but the cop tased me in the face and broke my legs with a baton.
lmao
lmao
Guess he was a dragon hunter :P
hahahahahha
its all in the eyes man. You need Billy Bobs death stare

One of the best villains in TV show history, pure evil
I just watched True Detective, that and Fargo have the evilest motherfuckers
He doesn't have evil intent. He just doesn't care. He is nihilism incarnate. His actions may be evil, but he is... nothing.
nah marlo snoop and chris

"We could do it that way..."
What a way to begin
See the intensity of a simple scene. Thats art.
It's beautiful

If Grimly did go down that certain road, Malvo would still be alive. Amazing.
Turns out Malvo was the one who chose the wrong path that lead to his death
"Maps use to say that there are dragons here now they don't" cold line!!!
Billy's Bob's "do you understand me" couldnt sound more ominous if he tried.
holy shit I have to rewatch this show
Lorne Malvo is one of the all time great antagonists, one of Billy Bob's very best performances.
oh yah you betcha there be dragons.
Billy Bob Thornton you are a class act.
Oh you betcha!
Billy Bob Thornton is excellent in this scene but also Colin Hanks is too. You can feel the fear in his eyes and hear in his voice when he said sir .
Colin is good, but he's definitely in a different league from his old man.
@@dannythomas417 yeah but Tom Hanks is a world class star. It is not fair to ask him to be like his father. maybe one day he can be.He is also a great actor too.
That felt like a genuine threat that would work irl, most threats made on tv shows or movies seem a little far fetched.
Or when somebody threatens you in the chat on CZcams.
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
me: That's nice let me know how it works out for you.
Because he shows no fear when saying it, which is a bad sign
"..cuz maps used to say THERE BE DRAGONS HERE now they don't..but that don't mean the dragons aren't there"
Honestly that line kind of ruined the whole intimidation factor for me. If I was the cop I'd assume he was high as fuck and would have cut him off and wound up dead for sure.
That line was scary as hell. He was pretty much saying im the wrong one to fuck with

I easily stopped watching Season 3. It was fucking awful
@@JoeSmith-dl9ok with all it's obvious problemas, season 3 is still my favorite (all of them are great tho)
@@firstpcf There was always something off for me with season 3. Can you elaborate on what your points were?
The city is the same way.
This is when I knew I was sold, definitely.
Lorne Malvo sensed the officer wasn't a tough one from the first impression, long before his daughter called on the radio.
Malvo can tell a fake good guy looking for an excuse to be evil, and a truly good guy just trying to do what's right. One he can manipulate and corrupt, the other he can only move out of his way.
I love the lighting from the cars, the exhaust fumes pluming through the stiff cold air. It’s like you’re really there.
these are not the droids you are looking for
Does anyone else get serious Anton Chigurh vibes from Malvo?
DUH
Woah holy shit how did you make that connection? Wow dude you should be a movie critic WOAH really made my neural synapses fire there mate. Fuck.
Malvo is cooler I think.
nope, Anton was far scarier
magesticmaniacc No, he's being a 100% serious.
I tried this when I got pulled over for speeding. I should be getting the leg cast off soon
Lacking charisma points
This is how you put the fear of God into someone. Pure greatness.
Exactly u get it
Billy Bob Thornton is a fantastic actor🐺👍

I’ve never come across a movie that I haven’t watched but just satisfied watching one scene over and over again
"that don't mean the dragons aren't there"... is when you walk back to your car, call for backup and cover the suspect with your shotgun until everyone arrives.
and then he does nothing and gets let go free and you lose your job
@@Jellyman916 He's in a car stolen from a crime scene with a dead chief of police and women, and her unconscious husband.

@@RedRabbitEntertainment yeah, but the policeman doesn't know that
I saw this scene when it was first aired back in the day. This one bone chilling scene has always stuck with me. Totally unforgettable. 2me
This is a counterpoint to the scene in the original movie, when Steve Buscemi tries to bribe a cop in the middle of the night, with disastrous outcomes.
first time I saw this scene i had chills.
👍Pure Genius Billy Bob! 🍄🔑🧩🧠
This shows Malvo has some compassion... which makes him complex and fascinating.
After i saw Sling Blade I knew BBT was a great actor. But he became one of the greats after Fargo. He was masterful in this series! Perfection.
He's also great in Monsters Ball,an underrated movie.
The end where Malvo says "I'm rolling up my window" always cracks me up for some reason 🤣.So random.
He is Perfect actor
The machine noises and the bleak cold amplifies how alone that officer is.
nice observation right there, damn.
They say that most psychopaths know exactly when they're going to die. Until that moment, they fear absolutely nothing.
Wow, I'm sure a police officer somewhere in the middle of nowhere had this kind of encounter with a spooky character before
Maybe but most criminals are shit for brains morons.
Well it's a true story so... Chances are high lol, though i don't know for this exact scene but I wouldn't be surprised if it was real
My favorite scene from all of the series.

He is the devil. He turned the guy into someone that kills in cold blood. He won
@@missythestaffy9785 lol how did he win? If he didn't kill Malvo, he would have escaped line before. Killing him was not cold blooded. It was Justice.

my favorite scene of the show.
Mine too. When I first watched this opening scene when it was originally shown on C4 I was hooked.
TRUE MASTERPIECE ♥
In his arrogance, Malvo didn't realise that this is the road he shouldn't be going down.
It really makes me wonder though , if there's a possibility that incidents similar to this have happened before ...where a suspect told a cop straight up to get back in his patrol car and keep it moving , due to the suspect being a legit badass but yet a professional who only harms targets hes getting paid to hit and doesn't wanna harm an innocent cop , things similar to this must have happened before atleast a handful of times , we just dont see or hear about it because the cops it happens too never speak on it
I've done it
The "you understand me?" was so menacing
What an epic scene
Best season ever
"On some level food knows its food."
Only a real killer, who has actually dispatched a lot of people, has that look in his eyes that can make a man see into the future with as few words as possible..

0:06 - the car exhaust emits two clouds of steam as cop approaches - like a man approaching a sleeping dragon. Also at 0:47 - more streams of steam. This man has wandered into dangerous territory. Best he not awaken the sleeping giants.
it's not a threat or a warning, Lorn Malvo just6 delivers a message.
In my mind one time, I said "better not look in there" and they didn't.
Lorne Malvo meeting his fate ...
You are justified to shoot someone when they start talking about "dragons"
This DOES NOT WORK, on most cops. It takes a very special kind of night and a special kind of cop for this to work on. Which is what makes this scene so incredible! Is because Lorn read him like a book before they even talked. Normally, he would have killed the cop. Just like the killer in the movie, fargo. But Lorne saw his weakness, as well as his value for his family. He knew, this cop has too much to loose. I don't need to kill him. I just need to warn him. About who he's dealing with, and that this is not the man to cross. Some roads, you DON'T go down. I've learned this lesson the hard way.
Killer scene.
Bro did him a solid 💯
people saying it wouldn't work if they tried it. It's about congruence. There are non-verbal cues that are most important in his line. When a true killer who really means 'there be dragons here' says it, we pick up all the non-verbal vibe from him and the threat is real. When you who has never been in a fight or swatted anything more than a fly, say it, we don't get those non-verbal cues from you and the whole thing is not congruent, sounds weak and falls apart. He's an actor who knows what to mimic and there are probably several takes so it works here.
Such a Bad Ass!!
