Funny thing is Lorne wasn’t even bothering Lester, he hadn’t seen him for over a year and was quite content to let Lester just get on with his life but Lester had to keep poking the sleeping bear

When a man who ends people for both a living and his own amusement tells you "walk away" without smiling, you DO WHAT HE SAYS.

“Still, the look on his face, classic huh?” Lol

The "that's on you," absolutely kills me 😂😅

I always thought it was ridiculous knowing that this man is a killer, as soon as he acted like he didn’t know who you were wouldn’t you obviously know he’s pretending to be someone else and walk away, not keep nudging. Haha

one of the best TV scenes ever...for me

The blood splatters behind Malvo look like wings.

Lorne says he doesn't have friends and yet he shares the most bizarre friendship with Lester

Has anyone else noticed that it's almost as if Lorne has wings made of blood at 4:10? He really is the Angel of Death.

Lester feeling disrespected caused everyone’s death including his wife’s death.

Billy Bob's character is one of the best in all TV shows of all time

00:01 The VERY slightest look of panic flashes across Malvo's eyes. for the very first time in his life, he is caught off-guard

Lorne Malvo is legit terrifying in this scene . 2:07 -2:18 you can see he goes from annoyed to bubbling with anger . While Malvo has no qualms manipulating meek people and turning them into heinous pieces of work , he will not have those people defy him, and Lester giving him attitude is what really hits his nerve . The look he gives at 2:49 where he kills the people in the elevator is nightmare fuel right there. In that brief moment , he 's not an animal in human form , he's just an animal. Even more so when he kills them , he barely breaks eye contact with Lester ,staring at him the entire time as he does it.

"that's on you" is one of the greatest lines I've ever heard. And "grab the fat guy's feet, we'll throw him in the dumpster" isn't bad either.

Out of the dozens upon dozens of Coen Brothers references in this series, Stephen Root randomly showing up was always one of my favorites

the ending of this scene is ominous AF. BBT absolutely nailed this role.

Billy Bob always gets the babes

just noticed that malvo says "night guard" (phonetically almost identical to nygaard) in the conversations he's having as he walks away from the table

I NEED to see this show now

Freeman and Thornton are absolutely fantastic in this show, everyone is tbh but sometimes I forget about the two cop lead characters being in it because Lester and Malvo are just that great.

2:40 Anton Chigurh: Well done

I love how this scene mirrors the first scene in the hospital when Malvo asks him "yes or no" about killing Sam Hess.

I remember when this season was still airing, and there was a legitimate, popular theory that Lorne Malvo was the actual devil and that he was immortal. Moments like 4:10 really helped sell that

Lester shouldn’t have done that, that is all I’m gonna say

Malvo’s silhouette at 4:06 along with him saying “see you later Lester” was fucking horrifying

1:00 and 2:05 Billy Bob went from charming and normal guy to stone cold effortlessly, especially the stare when he said “is this what you want?” You can see how his eyes especially change

fargo season 1 will always be the best

Billy Bob Thornton is so good with some great support. The actor playing Wheezy is spot on.

Lorne Malvo is my favorite villain of all time. Billy bob thornton is so good

I like how Mulvo spent 6 months pretending to be a dentist, making friends with his target and also developing a love relationship with a beatifull woman just for 100k when he made a million like in 3 days lol

This was Lester's chance to level up again. It was clear that Lester has learnt the previous lesson well and now, the teacher was here again and the circumstances were right. He could have leveled up, instead he has just squandered the opportunity.

As much as people claim that Lesters pride is to blame for this… Lester simply wanted to show off his newfound confidence after all the events in Minnesota

The bloody wings at 4:07 look incredible. Lorne was truly lucifer incarnate

When Lorne says 'this is on you', the blood from the execution is literally on Lester. The depth of this show is insane.

I love this scene

That was the worlds longest elevator ride….

Aces.

Lester could've lived the rest of his life happily if he JUST WALKED AWAY.

he kills them with ZERO hesitation, to him they are just props in a fake life

The silencer was so good that the gun didn't even need to chamber a new round

I feel like Malvo kinda waiting for moment like this.

ridiculously good cast for this

Walk away...

Man, all he had to do was walk away

i think this is the first scene i ever saw of this series, glad i became a fan

Fuches is on the hunt for another hitman since losing Barry

cool scene

Lester assumed Malvo would kill him after they disposed of the other three.

"but still... the look on his face when i pull a gun.. classic, huh." When I first saw the ad for Fargo I had never seen the movie but a friend told me to check out the show. I gotta say... Casting Billy Bob Thornton in this role as the main antagonist of the first season was BRILLIANT. He is just the embodiment of Chaos. When he tells the guy at the motel to stick up for himself then calls his mom on him. When he tricks the Supermarket owner into thinking some supernatural plague type shit is happening to him. DUCT taping Dennis from Sunny to an exercise bike and causing him to get mowed down by swat. I could go on and on but I'd have to ice my damn fingers afterwards.

Funny how Lester says his name two separate times at 0:08 and 1:43 and then acts like he caught Lorne at 1:52 with the line "oh so now you do know me" when Lorne says/repeats his name for the first time. Only thing Malvo apparently did wrong was showing dominance in telling him to walk away, but the guy was high off some personal accomplishment and not disposed to taking a hint. Doesn't Lorne strike you as a professional? Maybe he's working ...

Most chilling line in any film or series Lester... is this what you want?

In a way it kinda was on Lester xDDD his pride killed them even if Malvo pulled the trigger. He should of known by now what he was capable of.

Lester " hey look at this, salesman of the year " 🤣 wtf wud that impress the devil incarnate Malvo !! Brilliant best series ever 👏 👌 BBT 👑

The music! 🙌

When a wild dog confronts a tiger for feeling disrespected!

one of the iconic scenes of tv history

2:51

I’ve always loved the blazer Lorne is wearing in this scene.

he gave up 100k just so he didn't have to say "hello"? He went from a smart villain to an absolute moron, just to finish a story

Walk away... awesome

"see you soon"

I just have one question I'd ask 'Back in the elevator when you killed that fat guy and those two girls, were you going to kill me as well after I helped you deal with the bodies?'

Milton upgraded his swing line stapler ❤

"classic, eh?"

Billie bobs expression when Lester walks into the elevator is perfect

I love the callback to the hospital scene. Yes or no?

Thus is fucking chilling.... Also, bro REALY needed to take the fucking hint. Who wouldn't?

Lester didnt know when to stop and thats what caused his demise 🤦🏾‍♂️

Oh geez

Loved the show. Loved it even more when I thought it was based on a true story. Still don't get why Lester wanted to push Lorne though. I get he had a new found confidence and wanted Lorne to acknowledge it but not at the expense of risking his new life.

I always never fully understood the relationship with him and lester

Anyone know where i can fond the elevator scene and when Lester is running theme for this scene? Been searching.

The best is how he flinches ever so slightly when he kills his girl, like on some miniscule level he does actually feel it

Fits the trope "Bully the Dragon"

"Shit, Lester." 😅

Anyone know the OST that plays when lester runs away

"The look on his face when I pull the gun" And he shoots the other two without looking. He only looked at him for the reaction

The look on his face when I pulled the gun? Classic, huh?

"See you later Lester! See you soon..."

Lol @ how chill and calm he said "grab the fat guys feet, we'll throw him in the dumpster."

Funny how Lester walked into that elevator after reaching the peak of his life that same evening

See you later Lester!!!......See you soon!!!

just noticed he said “night guard” and lester’s name is nygaard. shrug.

'Aces!'

Lester missed his chance. If he grabbed the fat guy's feet he'd still be alive. Malvo was looking to make a fellow assassin.

‘See you later Lester… see you soon’ If ever there was a bigger sign he was satin in the flesh.

He had to have known what Lorne was going to do

Lorne's woman is wearing the hell out of that dress. Damn.

It really was on Lester haha

He's just a wolf hunting and eating

I love how it came back to yes or no ..is this what you want?

"That's on you" 😏

Maaaan.... if he didn’t get shot... he could’ve burned this whole place to the ground.

I agree, as others mentioned; Lester was partially to blame. The way I see it; Lester was the catalyst “the match that lit the fuse” so to speak. That’s why I put 1% more moral blame on Lester because he consciously put those other peoples lives in jeopardy. Why? Just to show how big his ego grew. Textbook big thinking beta nice guy powers up on Alpha/psychopath; gets everyone in the room killed. Runs away… 🏃‍♀️💨 In the real world everyone in that elevator was a victim. The person who pulled the trigger is 100% criminally responsible for the murders.

Classic huh

It’s the new sig sauer zero recoil

Can anyone help me understand what the "this" would be in the scenario?

Aces 😉👉👉

That blonde OMG

Makes me wonder, what if Lester had said no?
