    Mary McDonnell has always been one of the most intelligent actors working, and she absolutely kills it in this scene. She gets a tremendous piece of writing to work with and she plays it to the hilt. And kudos to the screenwriter for calling out everything wrong with American society in 2-1/2 minutes. The sad thing is that very few people will listen and take it to heart.

    Madeline Usher affirming that she and her brother are in fact the problem. Don't abuse Ligodone? Maybe be honest about what abusing it means.
    Also when Rodricks wife and daughter in law get a fortune and they both found and support charities with their wealth rather than ruthlessly accruing more.

      It's no one's responsibility but your own to make your own choices. Yeah, sure, they lied, but in the first place you should have done your own goddman research. 5 minutes of research, even back then, would have shown you the potential abuse for these drugs. But people just blindly believed them BECAUSE IT MADE THEM FEEL BETTER. Take some fucking accountability in your life for once.

    I have to say, this speech makes me respect the hell out of Madeline.
    Most people who make devil deals, have no regrets until the payment comes due. Then sudenly they are overwhelmed with regret, and compassion and charity etc etc.
    They suddenly become better people now that they have to pay for their crimes.
    Madeline does not do this.
    She admits what she did and she will pay what is owed. Whatever her other crimes, she cannot be called a hypocrite.

    The reality of the situation is that all of this is true. We as the American consumers want to point blame for corporations taking advantage of us yet we do nothing to change.
    There's no level of personal accountability anymore. Thats no excuse for corporations to exploit people, but we also need to realize we have a lot more power than what we realize, and that power is calling voting with your dollar.
    The only way to expect change is by playing the same game and flipping the script.

      'what do WE teach THEM to want'
      She is contradicting herself, raging against finally getting her comeuppance, she wants to blame the consumer after admitting that they created us, an impoverished workforce taught what to want. Do you come out of the womb wanting McDonald's or are your desires programmed by billion dollar ad campaigns? Look outside, advertisements everywhere, advertisements inside your home every 15 minutes. Brands upon brands upon brands.
      Who really has autonomy? The impoverished workforce who can't afford homes or education? Personal responsibility is a rich man's idea of a poor man's game, when you are poor you are wholly beholden to forces outside your control, you must appeal to and do anything you can to survive.

      ​@gonerewilding7176 I'm disappointed so many of the comments are just letting Madeline off the hook and taking everything she says at face value. And somehow construing it to reinforce anti-vaccine beliefs?
      It's no different than the Opium Wars, and it's clear from the lemon speech earlier in the show that it was the Ushers who FORCED their poison on the rest of society. Everything she said here is just cope "it's not me, all of society is evil!"

      This isn't Mike's World View though, Mads has always monologued like this when confronted with her poor choices, she did it at the beginning of the flashbacks with Roderick, with Annabelle and with Verna repeatedly, she's deflecting.
      This isn't Mike using a character for a soap box, she's 100% in the wrong here, conveniently forgetting that the opiods crisis is partially caused by injured civilians being given these high doses against their will and gaining an addiction, they speak about this in the 2nd episode. Madeline's 100% in the wrong and blaming everybody else but herself because she thought she "played the game" right and now she's going to die, when her true goal was to live forever. This is the ramblings of a woman so far deep in denial she's already a part of Ancient Egypt.
