really underrated this episode, this told us why ray respects gary so much and puts up with his weird shit so often, he might be a fuckwit day to day but when shit goes down, he’s there before anyone else and he doesn’t hesitate one fucking bit.
I love how Gary’s the kind of goofy screwball type of friend with his home sex video biz ideas and all, but when it comes to serious business he immediately turns into hard-boiled professional that always has Ray’s back.

You fail to act like a Human then you're out of the fucking club as for as I'm concerned. That means you're membership is revoked and everything else with it.
When people wonder why it might be good to have “friends in low places” this is hands down the best example. Plus this was probably one of the best feel good episodes because no matter what Ray, Gary or the random guy Pidgy may have done (buying drugs, violence, degenerate behavior, etc.)….they all still maintain the good conscience to either stay FAR AWAY from or properly deal with those that deals in the activities like the kidnappers did. Gives me hope that many people in our society today will still stand up for what is right and protect those who should NEVER have any harm befall them (kids).
A lot of the most violent criminals have kids, and while their empathy may be limited in general, a lot of them have juuuust enough to generalize from hurting *a* kid to hurting *their* kid. Being labeled a skinner in prison is not, to put it mildly, a good thing.
Im not sure where to start pointing out both the holes in the plot here and the holes in your argument - but keep living in imagination land if it helps you - I guess.
That store clerk was actually great. Very helpful, very professional, tried to keep the other little girl calm, tried to go through possible solutions with Ray
I also thought it was a very realistic way to portray a Muslim woman. Islam has fairly strict roles for woman for better or for worse, but they take those roles seriously. A missing child would be the first priority for the average Muslim woman she’d absolutely drop what she was doing to help find that child.
That's what made this show so good, the realism. The way she says to his little girl, " I like your sneakers," to keep her mind off the devastation happening.
were i used to go to school in a rather excessively rough district we had quite a few minorities and i can say rather safely if someone found out you did anything to harm a kid you would not be leaving said district i remember one of the local Mosques gave 3 schools a tour and informational session their mosque also is open to the public Muslim and non Muslim and the gentlemen who gave the tour i can safely say was one of the most well spoken people iv met but they do take their rules very seriously. @@dommyboysmith
The thought of someone like Ray 'taking care' of people like that is more satisfying than the idea of feeding them into a wood chipper. This is why they cut away as soon as he goes into the room with them, lets our imagination fill in the rest.
I also love the way Maddy’s face lights up as soon as Gary mentions that her uncle sent him, and immediately she trusts him and believes that he will take her to her mom. She obviously knows that her uncle would be there for her.
@@xfatoushe-6908 I'm not sure if sarcastic or not, so I will say, as a near 7 foot tall, overgrown shaved gorilla, I can do damage if I want to, but I would rather smell the flowers that cause violence. When it comes to those I care about, I let nothing get in my way, not even my conscience.
Ain't no way he was like"we didn't do anything we just sell em" like that makes it better Edit: felt like this needed clarification, i mean that they say it like what they do is nothing small,
Probably one of the best episodes of television from the past decade. Once Maddy is missing, its non stop, tension building, pieces coming together, great resolution. Ray and Gaz are trains, plowing through whatever means to find the kid. Truly great characters.
You never mess with the kids! Deep down we all agree that this is the way you deal with pedophiles and rapist. Ensuring that they never have the chance to do it again.
Its always when Gary finds maddy, and he doesn't yank her up the stairs, he calmly and in a low voice says he is there to get her to safety and he was sent by Ray and lets her choose to go to him. That I almost start tearing up. that level of not trying to scare her more, letting her know she is going to be okay. that and knowing those kiddy-nappers are about to get a hammer caved intotheir skull.
Gaz is a proper good one he's straight in without any questions or hesitation. Just like Ray does for him early on in the series. Its rare to find someone who has your back like they do for each other these days
@@sean7221 Oh you guys have the same problem too! There is still no definite info on what happened to the 1500+ children that disappeared in Hawaii. Or the 100,000++ from our southern border issue.
Props to the security guard who monitored the CCTV also, he was mad but once he heard a girl was missing he knew to shut up and get to it with helping. I also like to think that also after ray told them to not call the police the security guard said “Jesus Christ” because he probably understood that whatever was coming the criminals way would make getting caught by the police & convicted look like a trip to the beach 😅
he should have been doing his job in the first place, not yappin away on a phone. He's lucky he didn't get hurt by a more emotional parent. THe reality is most security are similar to him, complacent and inattentive
@@jackclayton8792 IRL the guard's reaction would have been different and th kid likely would not have been found and Ray would not have been able to get that photo. An old man got lost and died in a Sydney shopping centre a few years back because the guards 'looked at' the footage and 'couldn't find' the old man who was in fact seen on cameras to have walked into the service tunnels.
Because now she knows, that she's safe. When kids put that kind of trust in you- if you are "normal" in the head, you will sooner rot in Hell, than betray that trust
For me - this sealed idea that Gary was a military friend of Rays. His ability on a rifle as well. Gary had ‘niche’ sexual interests. A bit of a degenerate. But when the job was on he was absolutely focused and dependable. Would die to protect his mates. 100% those two served in a tight nit specialist unit together in the military.
Gotta love bein aussie sometimes, we've got some goodies when it comes to tv or film. I've never seen a series take the angle that Mr Inbetween did. Feels like I'm watching a mate's life story on tv.
exactly! it's his life story with comedy and drama and he happens to be a criminal for hire with INTENSE episodes like this in between 😂 i love it so much
I never saw this show but just from seeing this scene made me feel like I swallowed my heart. I don't know what the man did to these perpetrators but I believe in karma!
This needs to happen more in real life. I'm sure there are parents of abused children that would love to be in a room with a shovel and the perv that hurt their baby.
I remember that episode . I was glued to the screen . This reminds me of one of their episodes where he helps a man track down the remains of his daughter and Ray leaves the dude in a cave, and let the father deal with the man who killed his daughter years before.. I think when he went to go pay, Ray said he doesn’t want his money. Mr. Inbetween was a ridiculously amazing show. I don’t think I saw a single episode that I didn’t love..
They ended it after 3 seasons cause it was agreed upon prior, they didn’t want it to peter out into shit or make a season ‘not up to par’ with the others But I do reccomend watching the Magician, it’s actually the precursor to Mr Inbetween, it’s a mockumentary movie following around Ray as a younger man
Weird reverse episode here. Ray was the guy freaking out and chasing dead ends while Gary was being some kind of hard boiled defective tracking down the missing girl.
I know nothing about this show but I already love it. Feel like equalizer and punisher all at the same time. this guy seems like Australian Mike Ehrmantraut.
Theres a punisher comic where theres a couple abusing their kids and one day they open the door and all you see in the door frame is Frank and the punisher logo…its basically this but with a dude the size of the guy from Reacher
Yep his work ethic, morality wise he is very similar to Ehrmantraut. I saw few parallel scenes with them, his talk on good violence and bad violence was similar to good criminals and bad criminals talk by mike.
When my eldest son was about a year and a half some crazy woman tried to steal him while my partner was at the super market......genuine crazy person. Then again about a year later but different woman, cold and calculated again from my partner while she and both my boys were in a shopping mall. All within an area of 10km of each site. He is a genuinely cute kid with a natural smile. Mum and I debate the genetic inheritance thing. The first time the crazy botch waited for my partner to look down and then bam he was gone but partner somehow stopped her. Heard that she had mental issues and had taken kids before. No harm other than scaring the kids. The second time was way worse and was told it was possibly some network but cops didn't go any further. I wish I had friends like Ray and Gary to go an hunt these kind of people. These abusers of children represent something beyond evil and they exist seemingly in the shadows everywhere. Even in my pretty peaceful country. The only thing wrong here is Ray killed these fictional ones before stripping them of parts to learn more about the people they sell to and finding those people. That would be the morally correct thing to do. But watch your kids like a hawk. These evil bastards are out there.
@@Miamiflow885 Like just say husband or wife or boyfriend or girlfriend lmao, even subconsciously so many of them just *have* to let the world know about their sexuality it's genuinely weird, and vehemently cringie.
Just think literally hundreds of thousands of children go missing every year just in America, granted I'm sure at least 20% of them are divorced parents trying to 'take' their kid back, but tens of thousands are being taken by predatory SCUM that literally deserve nothing less than pain/suffering and death. Rapists in general deserve a swift ending, but child molesters are a whole different level of pure evil, it's as abhorrent and 'unnatural' as it would be to punch a baby in the face (for normal human beings) or to kick a puppy. And to think, we actually live in a time where there's groups of people defending pedophiles, because "love is love," and "they can't help it," even the "pride flag" has a color strip specifically for kiddie diddlers and it's maddening.
Sad to say but this shit is real. It may only be a TV show but Gary is the greatest. Like a blood hound tracking the bad guys. He found the little girl far quicker than the police would have.
That's how you handle this kind of shit. That's the way it was in my old neighborhood, everyone kept an eye on each other's wives and kids. There were more than a few people found beaten to within an inch of their life on occasion, that's the way we all covered each other.
one of, if not the best, crime series you will see anywhere. I am a huge fan of The Sopranos and The Wire, but in my humble opinion, this can stand beside those series. Great script, great characters, great acting, and like the other two series, moments of great comedy in amongst the gore. Love this show.
You might be a criminal, that doesn't mean you don't have certain standards. Hurting adults is nothing compared to hurting minors. "We just sell 'em" so happy Ray got em.
Showcased the duality of man. Guy was a bumbling, creepy 'harmless' comic relief but in this episode, he showed what he also was. Cold n calm while others were loosing their heads. Also, that final look as the girl goes home, he's seen n done alot of ugliness in the world but just once he did something good.
Go to town .... yeah but often the buyers are wealthy, influential people. You'd want to deal with those people personally rather than go through the courts.
Ray was at his most destructive here. For those three a walking nightmare coming. Not flashy like a John Wick just straight up menacing and lethal in a back alley street fighter way.
Ray and Gary aren't just best mates because they make each other laugh. Gary might seem like a goof, and well he is, but regardless when he needs to go to work he really goes to work. How Mr Inbetween wasn't more popular just baffles me.
