- IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE ENTIRE SEASON AND WANT NO SPOILERS DO NOT WATCH THIS SCENE. Noah Hawley did an exceptional job with Ole Munch's character arc and it pays off wonderfully in this scene. Munch is a rather minor but crucial character in this season who I'm glad to see gets a legitimately happy ending. We have Ole Munch (played impeccably by Sam Spruell) visiting The Tiger (or Dorothy "Dot" Lyon - played excellently by Juno Temple of Ted Lasso fame) at home with her husband Wayne Lyon (which David Rysdahl does a great job as) and their daughter Scotty Lyon (Sienna King in the real world). Munch has been the kind of character who you aren't ever really sure what to make of, but you're certain he can be lethal if he is inclined to be. The suspense in this scene is well executed and the wrap up is just great.
A single sequence that runs 17 minutes is an eternity by conventional broadcast TV standards. It can't be understated how baller FX is for letting Noah Hawley continuously defy such conventions. A man is grateful.
I thought the same. This was so different and could have backfired. Truly wonderful that they let this happen.
I'll be 70 this year and have seen many films and TV series during my life. This segment from the Fargo season 5 finale is the best treatment of forgiveness and redemption that I've ever seen.
I do agree. If you've not seen season 3 of Fargo, check it out. There's some theological stuff going on there too.
100%
Yeah i agree with this, when u saw him sitting there i knew it was an homage to no country for old men ending just hoped it didnt go the same way
Even better than Star wars??
@@theageofconversation Season 3 is freaking amazing and the tie-in with season 1 and 2 is FLAWLESS. Damn, Wrench is my fave character after Munch. But you need to watch them back-to-back to “get” the tie-in :D ITS SO GOOD
Just perfection. So pleased with this ending.
@@charlotte33072I wish I could hand you a biscuit, but please do go find something made with love and joy, and eat it, and be forgiven.
@@charlotte33072Ain’t no such thing, just your Anti-semitism. Don’t forget to kiss your poster of Hitler 3 times a day 😂.
Terrible season
@@Mr.Thomas_Anderson Why?
You’re nuts. It was a great season 😁
I died laughing when Ole took the drink and Wayne simply made a toast with him. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Impossible to not love Wayne.
You're not alone. It's the serious tone, Dot not blinking, Oola not taking his eyes off the tiger in the room & the orange soda coming out of left field "tink". Amazing
This! Yes!!
Yeah that was pretty cute. Lol.
He’s a lot more open and forgiving after the shock compare how to the show portrait him as the beginning
I think it has "Final Supper" over tones. "Drink this..." kind of vibes.
Probably one of the greatest endings to a TV series that I've seen.
Can't remember being this satisfied with a season ending of any show
Absolutely. Was crying for his happiness at the end. Spectacular.
Got to catch up on Leftovers
The ending with the Native American for season 2 was also badass because it ties season 1 and season 3 together FLAWLESSLY but most miss it! Fargo is freaking GENIUS
@@Daniel-qp8ro Mad Men season 3 finale!
A nice twist in Coen Bros. lore formula where the savage is not intruding on the banality as it usually does, but rather a wholesome banality intrudes and tames the savage.
Agreed. At first, very reminiscent of the ending of No Country For Old Men when Anton Chigurh shows up for unfinished business. But it turns into a very wholesome and lovely ending. Sometimes, decency prevails. Loved it!
Beautifully stated.
What do you think was up with all the woke nonsense in this season? I think the Coen Brothers were maybe trolling the audience but it made this season a little uncomfortable to get through. Very racist/sexist
@@Geojr815what woke nonsense? The themes are all very conservative. It ends with traditional family values, prayer, and forgiveness healing and saving an ancient evil. The most powerful person in the film is a selfish capitalist with very few morals. Ayn Rand would be proud of her. The protagonist is a housewife who's main goal is to continue being a stay at home mom who supports her husband's entrepreneurial business as an invisible partner. These traditional values are what defeats evil.
they werent the directors
One of the best endings ive ever seen. This season was superb
He lives there now
😂
I hope they made a trade.
A man is free in soul and will sleep again after that loving biscuit. He won’t stay.
poor munch never felt love his whole life
except when he ate the fleas off of rats. He loved them fleas.
Poor Munch? Did we watch the same show? He was a caricature of the devil
@@gin.gefilmsI don’t think a caricature of the devil
He was a sinner because out of sheer desperation in an unforgiving world he was forced to be a sin eater.
@@Moscato_Moscato you're just using his words. Most characters in Fargo sin. Munch is on Malvo and VM Varga level evil
@@gin.gefilms, he was a victim of the devil.
He’s the Anakin/Vader of Fargo
I feel like Wayne and Scotty are an underappreciated part of this scene. The first thing we see in this season is a definition of “Minnesota nice” sprawled on the screen. Then in the last scene of the season, we are met with this incredibly tense situation where Dot’s life hangs in the balance. Maybe she could have talked her way out of it on her own, but having Wayne and Scotty there showing Munch nothing but kindness and hospitality, making small talk as though everything is normal despite whatever discomfort or fear they may feel set a perfect backdrop for Dot’s message to get across. “Minnesota nice” quite literally saving the day.
The way the whole family patiently and kindly listens to his story, they’re genuinely good people. This is the first season of Fargo I watched I hope the rest are just as good.
After this, Ole Munch enrolled in culinary school and became a professional baker. He’s still on close terms with Dorothy and is basically an uncle to Scotty.
He is really good at selling his cookies too!
"A man needs to bake cookies. And cookies needs to be eaten. Why ? Becase a man made the cookies, and if the mans cookies is not eaten. Then man has no purpose." "Ok, ok. I buy some, Ole."
"A man need to pay. If cookie is taken.."
"I know, I know Ole. Here's your money"
"A man is grateful"
"See you tomorrow Munch"
He runs a Flea free establishment
This scene started out like the end of No Country for Old Men”, and then did a 180 and had such a profound ending, it made me 😢
Interesting. The ending made me 🤗 and laugh out loud.
@@wendym1234 it was a happy cry.
"It feels like that. I know. What they do to us. Make us swallow. Like it's our fault.
But you wanna know the cure? You gotta eat something made with love and joy. And be forgiven."
What an incredible, unexpected final scene. At once absurd, hilarious and moving.
You said it best!
I laughed. I cried. I ate a biscuit.
It was a really big let down. Ron getting will makes no sense
My favorite line from the episode. Fantastic.
@@anarchopignut "I live here now!", is the best line.
This was just an amazing ending An amazing acting I've watched it more than once
Wayne clinking with bottle got me
Yes! That was a brilliant and clever addition!
Such a nice touch.
And that the shot was just of the second bottle coming in for the clink.
Lorraine’s power comes from refusing to forgive any debt no matter how much people beg her to, and Dot’s power is giving grace and forgiveness to people who desperately need but don’t know how to ask for them.
I like that take.
I only watch from clips. Mind telling me who is lorraine and her story?
@earthling123 mother in law, debt collector
One of the best endings in television history really ❤
A man ( me) shed some tears when mook takes a bite of the bisquet, closed his eyes, savors it, smiles and all was forgiven. 😢😂
Incredible dialogue by the way.
The ability to frame a scene that shows vengeance/redemption resolved in such a build up; where you watch all of the disdain of humanity slowly broken down by the simple acts of kindness and inclusion. This is beautiful film making.
I wholly agree! Have you seen the show Legion? It also is by Hawley and has some great storytelling and cinematography.
@@theageofconversation Yes, loved Legion and saw a lot of similarities! Check out the Zurich 23m trailers if you haven’t.
@@theageofconversation I did, and loved the way they made huge scenes on a budget yet powerful. But I do love that scene you're referring to especially as well!
First time in 500 years he experienced genuine purity.
This is one of the greatest cinematic pieces ever...THIS SCENE
Best ending ever for Fargo. BEST EVER!
That is such a powerful scene, it made me so happy to see Ole Munch smile and realize that someone actually cares about him.
Ole Munch was like a frightened kitten when Dot's family showed him kindness and generosity but they won him over. Munch washing his hands means that he has been baptized and cleansed of his sins and debt. As he happily eats the biscuit it shows that he been set free because they didn't ask anything in return.
They were showing him kindness because Wayne, Dot, and Scottie were all scared shitless 😂 the looks they give each other during this scene are hilarious
@@gin.gefilms Well a beta prey animal and redditor, as your appearance shows, would think that. Sometimes there is just good though..or decency. You know mostly the internet, not the world.
Hopefully TH-cam does not delete my response for being blunt.
@@gin.gefilmsSadly TH-cam did delete my honesty, but I pointed out that you know reddit, not the world, and things are not always as seen through the eyes of prey. I implied you are prey, your appearance looking as it does, not to be regarded I mean.
You completely misunderstood the scene. They weren’t scared at all. Just showing kindness to an oddball man. They looked to Dorothy and saw that she trusted he could be won over.
This might just be the best scene in all of fargo tv show
That smile of ecstasy at the very end hits me hard every time. And Dot was so beautiful and glowing with love.
I just saw this today. When he washes his hands and starts talkin bout a man's code and the dark music starts playing but he gets stopped every time by the family is freakin hilarious. Then he makes biscuits lmao
And this is what the tiger fought for
This might be the finest scene in the entire five seasons. What a script.
That is a truly fabulous scene.
Genius and beyond ... These 15 mins of the finale seas 5
Not only did Dot survive Jon Hamms character, but she managed to make a cursed man feel loved for the first time in 500 years. She is the GOAT of the season no question. A total opposite of Lester
This season was a nice change of pace from the earlier seasons' storytelling. The average joe protagonist is already content with the life they have; the cop is the main villain; and the usual hitman finds peace.
@@themaestro2572Also Wayne started as someone who likes Lester , but turns out to be a wonderful human being
Y u compare this lion to rat lester lol
Give Noah Hawley and Juno Temple special Emmys just for this scene- it's as good as it gets.
It's fun to wonder how the simple power of "it's a school night so do it or help with dinner" might play against other Fargo antagonists. Varga would probably find the experience bizarre and uncomfortable to the extreme. Milligan may join in out of philosophical curiosity while waxing on the duality of domestic versus wild. We could imagine Fadda becoming subdued in the presence of a strong maternal figure preparing food in her home. Malvo's chaotic nature makes him is the most likely to go a violent route but even then...
perfect so I can rewatch it on demand no matter where in the world I am. And I'm not that type of person who goes to crazy for a show or series either. I bing and watch them and they are gone next day frim my memory. Munch is one of my fav tv characters of all time
Mine too
Experiencing love and kindness for the first time in hundreds of years
I loved season 5 and I thought this ending was as good as it gets. Pillsbury should sign Ole up to start endorsing their biscuits. His smile after a bite of one was epic.
He truly convinced me that was the first good meal he's had for 500 years
Who else found this entire scene hilarious 😂😂😂 “a man has a code and the code -“ “you’re in the way” 😂😂😂😂
Gets interrupted "Sigh....." "The code it..." "There you go!" (hands Ole a beer)
@@Daniel-qp8ro *hands the 500 year old assassin an orange soda* “a man is grateful 😤” 😂😂😂😂
The dialog of Wayne and Scottie held the import of distraction and the result was Dorothy found the perfect PATH and WORDS that Herr Munch needed for him to obtain his SALVATION!
@@Daniel-qp8roprecious and perfection
@@davidbuchanan3738Wayne and Scottie were following VERY, VERY closely Dorothy as she spoke, and Ole as he spoke.
Even the dialogue in what most may brush off to be a funny moment was a hidden message. "A man has a code." "You're in the way.." That small moment to me felt like a statement that this unforgiving hard way of collecting debt from people who can't afford it or this eye for an eye way of thinking is in the way of progress and how things should be at least for honest good people who just want to live a good life. And it fits well being followed up with the dialogue on choice and being mad at the risk being Dot. Even though Dot choose to fight back creating this perceived debt, she didn't have any say in the villains trying to do her harm. Her actions are simply the consequence of their actions. And now Munch has a choice to either collect the debt and create more hate and anger or forgive all debts creating love and peace. Munch has been in his own way for years.
Unbelievable ending. Maybe the best in the show's run.
I love Fargo but Noah Hawley generally sucks at ending his stories. Season 1s ending is great but with a few weak points. Season 2s ending is good not great. 3s ending is bad. 4s ending is mixed. Then season 5s ending is just one of the best things I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
@@syntheticreality549 I completely disagree - season 3's ending is maybe the best in the entire show (in competition with 5's at this point). I think every season has had a great ending except for season 4.
Fargo Season 5 delivers on the "sucker punch" ending the series is known for. I highly anticipate how the plots twist crime and supernatural into a meaningful intersection. I hope more is coming in the future.
Absolutely LOVED this season of Fargo---
At the table...Dorothy says theres a cure, and as she is handing the biscuit to Ole. Scottie grabs her spoon to get a bit of chili...BUT she stops...its like even a child is realizing the moment is SACRED, and STILLNESS all around is required.
Then Ole with fear, anxiety, and trepidation he bites just a small edge of the biscuit:
Slowly his demeanor is transformed in to one of joy, redemption, atonement, and heavenly ecstacy.
Lovely
I'm so happy for Munch. My favorite character. I knew he was really a sweetheart inside. I just wanted him to smile. 🥲
Wouldn’t call him a sweetheart 😂
@@catherinebreitfeller669 lol he really is though. I wish he'd live with me now. He is for real a teddy bear
@@catherinebreitfeller669 literally dude is actually the devil
This scene was perfect. It was great dialog and acting.
The little girl and the overall kindness threw him for a loop. Excellent scene.
Brilliant, so touching and so deeply wise.
The biscuit represents communion, and Ole Munch represents the Old Testament. The cold, unforgiving, eye for an eye way of living gives way to love and forgiveness, providing juxtaposition to Roy's evil, twisted perspective on Christianity.
So glad that we got more than the "Christians bad because America" shtick, because there's not much new that even a great writer can bring to the table there.
You'd love Mike Flannigan's work. Especially Midnight Mass
@Colin-kh6kp It's definitely on my list. Might have to check it out now
I think Dot's is a Lutheran.
"Inb4" the reddit atheists drink soy and get bitchy
I also experience this as a kind of sacramental "Holy Communion" Thanks for mentioning this.
Hopefully, this SEason will make the big wigs see the benifit in releasing season four and then this season 5 on phyical media! I'm a collector, and DVDs and BlueRay disc are the best way to watch these! Commercial free.
This scene and entire season were brilliant!
Amazing ending and great writing. Everything comes full circle. We started with munch coming to dots house and end with munch paying a visit-his change of heart in terms of the code he abides by to was earned in this scene.
I really enjoy reading interpretations that differ from mine. For me this was a rejection of religion (at least western ones). Religion creates sin and shame then sells you a wafer to eat for forgiveness. We blame ourselves for something done to us and we never grow old because we are in a constant state of child-like fear.
Love and joy and sharing are the antithesis of this. The spell is broken.
Yes - now I’ll have this scene to rewatch whenever I wish 😊
You wish. We all wish. Knowing how awesome clips disappear off the internet over time, enjoy it now like it were a poem written on frosted glass.
I'm very glad to hear you liked the clip. I too thought it was great and that, of course, is why I clipped it. It's fun and pretty easy to do so keep an eye out for more and thank you for watching and commenting!
I saved it so I hope it stays. Whatever
The husband was so funny during this scene 😂
A 500+ year old immortal, brutal killer waiting for you in your own living room. Best TV show I've seen in a long time. This man is grateful.
I love this ending
I'd love to see Ole Munch and Rust Cohle have a conversation.
This part's a cup
Thank you!
This was a risk and the more I think of it afterwards, it was a challenge I accepted then embraced long after watching. There is forgiveness? Bloody bold. Congratulations.
Yes the world could learn from this brilliant writing.
Something about him taking a bite of that biscuit and then smiling as his eyes water up really gets me crying too. I was a little mixed on this season. Thought it was mostly alright but the ending really stands out (like honestly does anybody remember how the other seasons end?).
Good segment , im starting to appreciate this series . Thank you .
The way they weave comedy and tension here is so good. Being kind to Munch is totally throwing him off script. His subtle little head shake to the chimpanzee driving question is hilarious.
I like to think he became kind of a strange family friend after this.
Oles character and his backstory man so cool was always wondering when he would pop up next in the show
I can see a season set in 1800s and Munch is there lol
Dot is tied with Peggy for my favorite character in the series. Such a satisfying ending
This is the greatest scene in all of Fargodom, IMHO. The character redemption of Ole Munch is mesmerizing and makes your heart swell. Such beautiful acting by all four actors, but especially by Sam Spruell as Ole Munch and Juno Temple as Dorothy “Dot” Lyon.
i was very plesantly surprised by this scene and so happy for Ole!
I was iffy on this season during the second half but this ending was absolutely sublime.
The “Thank you” and shosh away gesture when Munch is holding the measuring cup cracks me up every time! 😂
Watching all of their reactions to his description of his life I'm curious if they don't believe some of what he's saying, if the don't understand, or if they're just accepting it all at face value.
It also occurs to me that it's possible the biscuit might be the only thing Ole has eaten since the sin meal that actually tastes like food.
Perfect way to bid farewell to a character like munch😭
Most definitely!
@@Darius-_I think that was the point though. He'd been an efficient but miserable killer and now he doesn't have to be
@@Darius-_why is “being menacing” good though? He finally found the freedom he’s sought for centuries and hopefully can now die in peace. Dot shows him debts can be forgiven and lifts the horrible burden he’s been carrying for so long with an act of pure love, not tied down by any ulterior motive.
@@Darius-_but it's an ending and his character needed an arc. I think this was much, much more interesting than just leaving him to be this intense force. I found it to be incredibly satisfying, and it makes sense for his character.
Thats the whole point @@Darius-_
Thank you for sharing this incredible ending
Glad you enjoyed it! We'll be adding more from various movies and shows.
5:20 I know we got a lot off of Munch in this scene, but what about Dot.
This shows dialogue shows why she had trouble getting along with Lorraine, their beliefs were very different. But Lorraine put her beliefs aside for Dot because it was the right thing to do. I know people that this seasons’s political undertones (me included) but Dot and Lorraine’s relationship has a much deeper message about reaching “across the isle”.
I love that we get a second helping of Den Bortkomne Sauen in Season 5
The sound editing with the kitchenware is unreal!
Welcome to Cooking with Dot and Munch! On today’s show, Quick Drop Biscuits!
When Dot left for the kitchen I though surely Ole was going to attack - the look on his face 😊
This was a sharp rebuke to the ending of No Country for Old Men. Her kindness and compassion overcame the ages old trauma and violence. A perfect ending to a nearly perfect season.
When they use the music from the film on the TV series. Cool.
That house is a classic Canadian home from the
50s. Looks like Broadview and Danforth, Toronto.
Absolutely no situational awareness.
Ole: A man has a CODE.
Small child: you’re in the way.
When Dot first walks in, dude, Munch is ready to POP OFF
Coen Brothers...please...MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THE LIFE(MANY?) OF OLE MUNCH!!!!!
Gotta love the creepy music that plays in the background when we first see Ole
Sam Spruell deserves an Emmy
I would be down for a spinoff or Christmas special that centers around how Ole becomes acclimatized to his new way of life, with help from Dotty and her family. They see him as that eccentric family member who is always saying weird stuff but they love him anyway.
This was the best sequence in the entire season. The ending made us laugh out loud but also was satisfying.
Anything else like Fargo as of late?
Perfect!) Very strong scene!)
Munch a truly epic character
Me going to other kids' homes and realizing not everyone lives like Lord of the Flies
"well game's on at seven, probably time to make the biscuits!"
Oh man, what a pimp.
This show had alot to do with debt
It doesn't have to be a bloodbath to the finish, it just has to be worth watching. It's not easy to put these four characters in a room and produce such a funny/terrific conclusion. The cheers from Wayne with the pops was hilarious. Also, not once have I ever had chili with biscuits, where in the hell did that come from?
It hurts my soul to see the end of this series.
Is there not going to be another season? I'd haven't heard nor looked into it. I certainly hope there is. If you haven't seen it and have an appetite for Noah Hawley's work, I suggest Legion. It's from comic book characters (and ones I cared nothing about) but Hawley did a great job with it.
I hate everyone who hasnt warched Fargo yet because of how fucking amazing and icon scenes.
A warning to not go down certain roads.
The elevator.
Just wanting a glass of water.
Mike Miligans birth.
This scene and so many others.
We can all resonate with munch because at our core we want to be set free from our sins. Seeing him feel freedom was joyful for us. We can have this in real life through Jesus. All you have to do is confess with your lips and ask forgiveness. Just like taking the bite of the biscuit was a simple act. Repent to Jesus so our hearts may be restored.
I'd rather have dinner with Dot and the family.
Ole Munch and Anton Chigur need to get together for a coin toss.
How is this on this website? It's like half the episode
Just watch first season again. Lorne Malvo talks about how he tastes sins in food also.
For Fargo, a very optimistic ending. I love the communion imagery-- eat something made with love and your sins will be forgiven.
