Kendall & Logan Roy || let me out

“Look whatever, payup and let me out. I don’t want to be you.“ Music by: - Max Richer: Never Goodbye - Max Richer: Appeasing the Chief - Max Richer: The Lord’s Rough Ways - Nicholas Britell: The Middle of the World All clips taken from Succession (seasons 1/2/3) Edited in my free time between work and dad life using 2019 (15 inch) MacBook Pro on Final Cut Pro. This show is in my top three of all times and wanted to put a video together showcasing Kendall and Logan’s troubled relationship. After three seasons of Kendall wanting the top job, he finally calls it quits but Logan won’t let him. The back drop is a specific conversation at dinner where Logan uses every tool in his arsenal to manipulate Ken into staying. It’s tragic and sad. A truely masterful piece of writing I wanted to explore visually. So, I just wanted to talk to you I suppose. My thing is, I want out. Did you ever think I could do it? The top job? Oh I don’t know, maybe. Yeah. Maybe, it will be him one day. It’s in his blood, he learnt it all from me. And maybe, maybe he’s the best one of all of them. You can say. You know you’re smart, you’re good. But I. I just don’t know. I have an announcement to make, about wrong doing at Waystar Royco, in advance of the upcoming shareholder meeting. Marcia and I used to read to each other. I’d read her history. The Incas in times of terrible crisis, would sacrifice a child to the sun. I said to her they were a bunch of fucking savages. Her thing was, what could you possibly kill that you love so much, it would make the sun rise again. And it has been suggested, I would be a suitable figure to absorb the anger and concern. She said that. Okay. You’re not a killer, you have to be a killer. I thought I had an out, I could see it. I could. I could see they way markers. The truth is, that my father is a malignant presence, a bully and a lier. And I thought I could, out of all our shit I thought I. This is the day, his rein ends. I think I thought I was a knight on horse back. Life’s not knights on horse backs. It’s a number on a piece of paper. It’s a fight for a knife in the mud. Like, I don’t really know where my life goes from here. Maybe I could, I don’t know. But I can’t do jack shit. You’ve got it all sorted. Don’t block your own escape. Just imagine getting out from under all this. You could take the money. Two-bill, I keep Fikret, Jess, and I’m gone. I’m a ghost, divested, off the board, complete disinheritance. And you can just get the fuck out. I won’t even speak at your memorial. We’re done. Well, I need to think about it. Well you, you already you offered at my birthday. He never saw anything he loved that he didn’t want to kick it, just to see if it would still come back. That was ah, for fun. Dad, I can’t. I tried. But I I thought that I could change things. But I’m not as. There’s things you’re able to do that I can’t maybe. My hunch is that you’re going to get fucked. Maybe. Because I’ve seen you get fucked a lot, and I’ve never seen Logan get fucked once. You’ve won. Because you’re corrupt and so is the world. I believe Logan Roy is a pernicious influence on our culture. He’s morally bankrupt, he’s a nothing man. Every institution is a shadow of a single man, at Waystar that man is Logan Roy isn’t he? Who may well be more personally responsible for the death of this planet than any other single human being. All of it hidden by coverups and corruption. He’s made a wasteland and calls it an empire. NRPI? Ah yeah. That’s ah, incident no real person involved. Exploitation is at the heart of your business model. I’m better than you. You’re. You know I, I hate to say this because I love you, but you’re kind of evil. Their surrogates called us cultural vandals and poison in the well of public discourse. No real person involved. I have burned villages and overthrown governments on your behalf. He will send men to kill your pets and fuck your wives and it will never be over, so. We have endless resources, we will destroy your life. Well I didn’t make human nature, but I do know what they read and what they watch. I make my nut off what people really want. Don’t tell me about people, I’d go flat broke in a week if I didn’t. But what you’ve done is you’ve you’ve you’ve monetised all the fucking the the American resentments of class and race. And I thought I was just telling folks the weather. You’ve turned black bile into silver dollars. Oh you’ve just noticed did you? Yeah maybe I did. Of fuck off. Look whatever, payup and let me out. I don’t want to be you. Bore on the floor! Bore on the floor! Oink for your sausages piggies! Don’t fuck with me! Hey hey no, don’t fucking touch him! I’m, a good guy. There’s a lot of mess to clean up Kendall but you can do it son. There are times to be someone, its high tide. How long was that kid alive before he started sucking in water? Couple minutes? Three, four, five? Long time two minutes.
