a romantic guy they hit it off so Barry completes his one last hit but Fuchs wants to keep making money with the chechins and volunteers buried to take out the whole Bolivian Stash House Now Barry's met up with a friend from the Marines who lives in La Chris and Chris introduces him to some other Marines including Taylor the crazy hot dad who instantly realizes Barry's real job and is like yo I want in Barry does need help taking out the stash house but Taylor literally Leroy Jenkins right in there takes him all out himself Barry's hope is to pass Taylor onto fuse so he can stop killing and focus on acting so Barry's actual final hits will be the Bolivian leader crystal ball now come to town but Taylor shows up with the whole car full of Marines including Chris who never saw combat and Taylor throws out Barry's plan decides to go with his own plan bum rush right at him which you know does not go well Taylor and the other guy are killed but Barry and Chris get away and Chris is freaking out we gotta go to the cops Barry's like hey man you gotta just chill but Chris makes it clear he'll never be able to keep this secret and it's an awful tense moment as Barry and Chris now realize Barry's gonna have to kill him and so Barry kills his friend Chris oh that's rough meanwhile Barry's been having trouble acting he's really not good Mr cousino's advice was to use his real life experience is to access these emotions and tonight after killing Chris he's swarming with emotions just in time to bring real deep sadness to his one big line oh man Barry just acted his great delivery set Sally up to give a knockout performance and the agent in the audience loved it wants to sign her which is a breakthrough for her trying to be an actress in La is a very hard but now Barry finally has it out with Fuchs I am done with killing starting now but crystal ball is still alive and turns out super nice guy but to kill him unfortunately it's War it was really Fuchs who instigated this the chechins are going to kill him and Barry but NoHo Hank gives Barry the heads up so Barry takes out the whole Chechen garage he hates Fuchs now but still had to save him he drives him to the airport I never want to see you again I'm done with this life starting now NoHo Hank now finds himself the leader of the Chechen mob and makes peace with crystal ball they joined forces to be a nice friendly gang together and the cops investigating through a series of coincidences blame everything on Taylor and Ryan Madison so a short time later berries live in the dream dating Sally acting's going great on a weekend getaway at Mr cousino's cabin but at dinner Mr Cousino mentions Barry's audition monologue about the Marine turned Hitman this prompts Janice to take another look at that photo and now that she knows him yeah it's definitely Barry Barry tries to talk to her look I was mixed up with some bad stuff but that's not my life anymore we can just ignore this but she's a good cop Barry I can't let that happen and so once again Barry has to kill her and he's like okay no more killing starting now so in Barry season two Mr Cousino is devastated by Janice's death and wants to shut down acting class but Barry can't have that acting class is the best thing in his life so he proposes they work out their feelings on stage he tells a story from back in the Marines the first person he ever killed which the whole class assumes was traumatic but was actually a really happy moment for him Mr Cousino loves this new idea so the class works on a Showcase of all their most dramatic memories most of which are more funny than tragic and NoHo Hank is living his dream the bolivians and chechnyans make a great team up and he and Cristobal are hitting it off but when crystal ball wants to bring in the Burmese led by Esther this ruins NoHo Hank's Vibe so Hank pays a visit to his old friend Barry who owes him one and forces him to do this one last job but when it comes to it Barry can't pull the trigger so he makes a deal to instead train the chechins to be an army so in the meantime Barry works on a scene and tries to figure out how to tell a war story that won't traumatize the whole class in private he tells Mr Cousino about the time he saved his friend Albert's life but that story ends with him going into Terminator mode and killing an obviously innocent person Mr Cousino understands tells Barry it's okay but yeah you absolutely shouldn't tell that story instead he is very focused on Sally's scene about your abusive ex-boyfriend which is awkward when he shows up in person he's acting all nice at first but it becomes clear he's still a terrible person just trying to convince her not to do the scene and Barry was gonna kill this guy but the timing doesn't work out and so acting out the scene Barry once again Taps into his awful memories and actually does an incredible powerful performance Sally's first draft was the empowering story of the night she finally told him off and left him but she soon has to admit to herself that's not how it happened she forgave him so she and Barry do the true version which is so much more heartbreaking but incredibly powerful Sally's agent came to this rehearsal and was like whoa that was really good and though Sally's career has been better than ever she's still being wasted on Tiny background roles but now they land her a leading role in a show about abuse unfortunately it's awful drivel and she has to turn it down very meanwhile waiting in the lobby to give her a ride the agent's like hey man you're pretty tall I've got an audition for you for a lead role in a feature film he's like wow this acting thing's easy now Barry has successfully trained the chechins and they've come to love and respect him NoHo Hank says goodbye gives Barry the pin the debt is paid but back in Cleveland Fuchs has continued doing hits with someone less professional and is instantly arrested and his DNA matches the mystery tooth they found in the Chechen garage so this guy puts it all together so a few swims back to LA to wear a wire against Barry but luckily Barry doesn't want to talk to him later though Barry's happy to see him because he's the only one he can talk to about his real life stuff at least you have a complicated love-hate relationship but in the end Barry does mention he killed Janice and so now Barry's caught but this detective doesn't arrest Barry he blackmails him into killing the guy his wife left him for turns out though this guy's a Taekwondo champion and it turns into a full episode long crazy fight scene they end up at a store where he kills this detective and then is shot so Barry walks out of there real casually after this week's tries to get Barry back in business but Barry tells him off again I have a new Mentor now Mr Cousino so if he exposes his private investigator Kenneth Goulet goes to threaten Mr Cousino soberry blows his big audition and walks out of there which ironically makes him like him even more Fuchs LED Cousino to Janice's car and is going to frame him for her murder Barry gets there just in time to think quick and drop the Chechen pin in the trunk the debt is paid oh yeah this was the chechens and naturally Tonight is their big performance but Sally's been having second thoughts about doing such a personal thing in front of so many people so she goes back to the original version where she tells him off which is not true but hugely popular and tonight's the night that NoHo Hank is going to lead his new Army against the Burmese unfortunately they're caught and and things look Bleak Blackberry trained these guys real well and they get out of it it's about to be an all-out gang war but Fuchs is still trying to get in with this crew manage just a broker a piece with himself at the center but when Barry learns that Fuchs is there he goes into murder mode shoots everyone in the building trying to get the Fuchs which horribly includes all these Chechen kids he just trained that look up to him it's only after futes gets away that Barry realizes what he's just done and has a bit of a mental break and Barry doesn't know the worst thing Fuchs did because he did tell kusuno it was Barry who killed Janus so in Barry season 3 Sally's career is taking off she's the lead and writer of a show Joplin about her hometown and abusive relationships Barry is a supportive boyfriend but he's a walking shell right now in the midst of a psychotic break it gets worse when Mr Cousino finally confronts Barry he's got him at gunpoint gonna force him to turn himself in unfortunately his gun falls apart so now it's Barry who has him at gunpoint but Barry really doesn't want to kill his mentor Mr Cousino and so he comes up with a brilliant idea if he can land in Mr Cousino an acting job that'll make up for killing his girlfriend he asks Sally to get Mr kuzno a job on her show unfortunately that's not how it works and Barry flips out goes absolutely crazy starts yelling at her which is super awkward in front of her co-workers on a show about abusive relationships so instead Barry goes to the casting director he knows who has infinite roles for a tall brooding white guys but she's got nothing from Mr Cousino he burned all his bridges in the industry but had his audition Barry makes an impassion case that Mr Cousino deserves another chance and so they give him a little roll and so Barry got him a small part like Hey we're even now but Mr Cousino breaks character to punch Barry in the face until him off which ironically was perfect for the scene they want to bring him back in a recurring role and so from a combination of fear for his family and not wanting to upset his new better life he decides to let Perry go Sally's career is fantastic too the critics love her new show but when a co-worker points out what Barry did was not okay Sally finally realizes that and breaks up with him so Joplin's released on the front page but it's almost immediately replaced turns out the algorithm doesn't like it so they're not gonna promote it Barry was just moving out so he's there to comfort Sally he's like hey I could break into that producer's house and you know take pictures of her sleeping to freak around and stuff but that's not the comfort Sally was looking for she's like no no we're still breaking up so Barry goes for relationship advice from NoHo Hank who is happily dating crystal ball it's a little awkward that Barry went crazy and murdered all of their friends but you know bygones be bygones now the cops investigated the monastery shooting but NoHo Hank spun a great tale for him blamed it all on the mystery man Fuchs whose real identity is the legendary Chechen assassin The Raven and they've got him tucked away in chechnya as a future scapegoat just in case so Hank and crystal ball are free to live a happy life together until Crystal Ball's boss comes to town to get Vengeance on the chechens and so Hank recruits Barry to take these new bolivians out with a sketchy bomb he bought on eBay and the app doesn't work so Barry's Gotta Wait on customer service still finally boom but now the boss's daughter comes to town to take Vengeance for her father and they instantly raid the Chechen operation but now the cops rate the chechins at the same time so it turns into an epic mess but the bolivians also come to NoHo Hank's house and kidnap crystal ball turns out the boss's daughter is his wife meanwhile Fuchs is living the dream in chechnya thanks in part to his hot Chechen Handler she tells him the folk tale of the Thousand ghost Panthers and how you gotta let go of Vengeance but he takes the opposite lesson from it comes back to the States as Kenneth Goulet goes to all the people that Barry's killed over the years tells them Barry did it hoping one of them might take Vengeance his best bet is the Marine Taylor's sister but she's in a real hardcore Motocross gang who instantly shoots him but he survives and is Nurse to health once again by a beautiful young woman so when Barry gets a call from Chris's wife inviting him to dinner bury his head Nova there only to find himself randomly ambushed by a Motocross gang it's another crazy extended action sequence where things get way out of hand but Barry makes it to dinner but Kenneth Goulet was here yeah told her Barry killed Chris and she poisoned him so Barry is dying and has a vision in the afterlife where he's reunited with all the people he's killed who are not happy to see him but in the end he's found by Ryan Madison's father who instead drives Barry to the hospital and kills himself so Barry survives and he comes home to find Sally waiting for him Sally took a job as a writer on a bad show but the show next door's new showrunner is Natalie their friend from the acting class who Sally brought along as her assistant and seeing her success after Sally's own failure she snaps and yells at her with an unhinged rant which unfortunately she she recorded and now Sally's career is all the way done so now Sally is ready for Revenge Hey Barry you want to break into your house and stuff just as Barry's trying to talk her out of it the last Motocross guy comes and starts a fight he's gonna kill Sally but she gets the upper hand and oh she kills this guy Sally is horribly in shock but he's like it's gonna be okay but Sally decides it's time to leave down for a bit meanwhile NoHo Hank has gone down to Bolivia to rescue crystal ball where he's instantly captured and it's a

going to jail and when he learns they think he's this legendary Chechen assassin he goes with it yeah call me the Raven so as Barry's bearing Motocross guy his friend Albert tracks him down and Barry's having a full breakdown Albert's like look man you saved my life I'm not going to turn you in but the killing has to stop right now meanwhile Mr cousino's career is having a Resurgence but now

close but crystal ball survives he's like oh I'm so sorry you weren't supposed to be in there see Hank was approached by his old employers the Chechen mob who are like you absolutely can't run your

which has previously been the setting for Barry's dream sequences but this isn't a Dream It's really happening we got a 10-year time Jump Barry and Sally are living the quiet life in the middle of nowhere with her new son John Barry's in full dad mode trying to be a good father to make up for his questionable past meanwhile Sally is working at a diner and spends her time off binge drinking and

Janice Moss's father's been hunting him all this time he works his interrogation Magic on Barry and finds out about the big bag of cash he gave to Cousino that Cousino never mentioned so in a fake meeting with Daniel Day-Lewis they lure Cousino into an ambush because with the info they have looking at it from the wrong angle it looks like Barry was working for Cousino the whole time and killed Janice moss on his orders they don't know about Barry's real boss Fuchs who was beaten real bad after Barry's Escape but he never talked and gave Barry up because he didn't actually know anything but the other prisoners don't know that so it earns Fuchs a ton of street cred and now that Fuchs is released from prison he's undergone an epic transformation he's fully become his fake Alter Ego The Raven he goes to work for no ho Hank who's transitioned into a wildly successful legitimate business but of course there's still the criminal underbelly so he sets Fuchs in his gang up in a nice new house but at dinner when Fuchs congratulates him for being bloodthirsty and killing crystal ball Hank freaks out it seems like he's fully repressed that and he's like oh Fuchs This Means War it's

reasonably normal life but tonight's her son John goes over to a friend's house to watch the movie they made about his dad Barry it is a hilarious dramatization that gets everything totally wrong it
