Premise

Cast and characters

Main

  • Bill Hader as Barry Berkman / Barry Block, a Marine turned hitman who finds himself drawn towards human connection among a community of aspiring actors. Barry longs to put his criminal history behind him to become a full-time performer, but can't seem to stop his bloody past from creeping into the new life he tries to build for himself.
  • Stephen Root as Monroe Fuches, an old family friend of Barry's who groomed him for a career as a hitman after Barry left the Marines. Fuches is cowardly and self-centered, often dragging Barry back into a life of crime to serve his own personal interest, be it money, power, or revenge.
  • Sarah Goldberg as Sally Reed, an aspiring actress in Barry's acting class. Sally is focused on becoming a famous actress.
  • Glenn Fleshler as Goran Pazar (season 1), the leader of the Chechen mafia who employs Barry to kill a man who has been sleeping with his wife.
  • Anthony Carrigan as NoHo Hank, an effusively positive and naive member of the Chechen mafia and Goran's right-hand man. He later becomes the leader of the Chechen mafia himself, but struggles with the responsibility of running an organized crime ring when he is not an inherently violent person.
  • Henry Winkler as Gene Cousineau, an acting coach and Barry's mentor. Cousineau serves as a father figure to Barry, helping him come to terms with some of the atrocities he has committed throughout his life. Cousineau is also incredibly self-obsessed, and rarely seems to help out his students unless there is something of value in it for him.

Barry Berkman, a Marine turned hitman, is sent by his handler, Monroe Fuches, to Los Angeles to perform a hit for Chechen mob boss Goran Pazar, who wants him to kill Ryan Madison, an aspiring actor having an affair with Goran's wife. Barry tracks the target to an acting class taught by famed coach and author Gene Cousineau. Ryan convinces Barry to perform a scene with him and, despite how poorly it goes, invites him to a bar with the other students where Barry takes an interest in actress Sally Reed. Barry drives a drunk Ryan home, which is witnessed by Noho Hank, the Chechen second-in-command. The next day Fuches arrives, and tells Barry that the Chechens will kill them both if Barry does not follow through with killing Ryan. That night Barry finds Gene, who tells Barry that he is a terrible actor. An impassioned Barry tells Gene that he is a hitman but wants a different life. Gene, believing the confession is an improvised performance, is impressed enough to give Barry another shot at his class. Barry decides to follow through on Ryan's hit, only to find Ryan already dead and the Chechens prepared to shoot him, too. Barry shoots the Chechens and flees the scene unaware that their lipstick camera has filmed the assassination. Shortly after, while hiding out at a nearby diner, Barry learns that the waitress is an actress, and he tells her he is also an actor.

Gene informs his class that Ryan has been murdered. Gene's students plan an on-stage memorial service for Ryan, where all members will perform a piece in his honor. Sally asks Barry to perform a scene from Doubt, the last piece she and Ryan performed together in the class. At the service, Gene has Ryan's father show up, who delivers an impassioned speech. The speech causes Barry significant distress because he has never before seen the grief and pain he has inflicted on people who knew Barry's victims. At the last minute Barry declines to perform the Doubt piece because he is still shaken from the encounter with Ryan's father. Barry walks Sally home at which time she expresses her desire to have sex with him. To Sally's surprise Barry declines her advances and rushes off. From afar, a Chechen takes photos of Sally.

Detectives Moss and Loach learn of Ryan Madison's connection to Pazar and question Gene and his students. Barry helps Sally prepare for an audition, where Sally learns the lead actress is a former friend she had worked with on a failed TV series. Sally is devastated by the other actress' success and cries during her audition. Barry prepares to take out Paco but is interrupted by a phone call from Sally, who vents about her problems and begs him to come over.

At the audition, Sally is told by the casting assistant that her agent does not represent her and is sent home; devastated, Sally cries in her car. Detective Moss meets with Gene at a restaurant, expecting pertinent information about the case; realizing it is actually a date, she stays anyway. Police techs manage to unlock the lipstick camera, revealing footage of a tall, unrecognizable figure who, unbeknownst to them, is Barry. At a party, Barry presents Sally with an expensive new laptop as a gift, but she is made uncomfortable by the extravagant gift from a man she barely knows. Barry invites Chris, who brings two other rowdy Marines, Vaughn and Taylor. Barry continues to misinterpret his relationship with Sally. He refers to her as his girlfriend when speaking with the Marines that Chris brought along and they tell him to assert himself and tell the man Sally is chatting with to back off. He does so, which angers Sally as she does not like being treated like property. After the party, Taylor finds Barry's intel on the stash house raid, and tells Barry he wants in.

Detective Moss returns to the acting class and re-interviews three men, including Barry, who could match the photo of the tall, unrecognizable figure from the lipstick camera. Barry provides an alibi with the help of Fuches, who tells him to kill Taylor once the raid is done; Barry reluctantly agrees despite his qualms about killing a fellow Marine. The acting class discusses the morality of Macbeth and Barry, feeling the moral weight of his profession, has an emotional outburst, yelling at the class, "I've killed people. I should just go blow my brains out?" The class assumes this is about the time that he served in the Marines. Gene replies, "If you kill outside of war, you're a fucking psycho. Then you're irredeemable." That night, Barry and Taylor successfully raid the stash house, killing several men, with Taylor doing most of the killing as well as saving Barry's life. The next morning, Barry meets with Fuches, who is happy to see Barry alive. Taylor soon joins, revealing Barry did not follow Fuches' advice.

Barry and Chris are the only survivors of the bum-rush. After Chris kills a Bolivian gang member, the two escape the airfield and return to Los Angeles. Going immediately to rehearsal, Barry gives poor line delivery and is berated by Sally and Gene. The Chechens receive a call from their Bolivian assassination target, Cristobal Sifuentes, who says that there was no need for violence as he would have gladly shared the stash house with them, and declares war on the Chechens. Pazar, furious with Fuches and believing Barry dead, orders NoHo Hank to kill Fuches. Moss learns that there were Marines involved with the hit on the Bolivians and realizes that Barry is her mystery suspect, despite coincidental evidence that convinces the police otherwise. Chris, visibly shaken after the morning's events, tells Barry that he intends to go to the police to clear his conscience. Finding this unacceptable, Barry kills Chris and begins to suffer an emotional breakdown. Arriving late to the class' Shakespeare night, Barry delivers his single line with such emotional intensity that the audience becomes captivated and Sally gets a confidence boost, impressing an agent she had invited.

Barry takes his share of the money from Fuches before assaulting him and telling him that he's done with his life of crime. Fuches tells Pazar that Barry is alive and should be killed, but Pazar prepares to kill Fuches instead. NoHo Hank alerts Barry, who promptly kills Pazar and his gang, and forces Fuches out of Los Angeles. Hank takes over leadership of the Chechens and organizes with the Bolivians. Moss discovers Ryan's copy of Gene's book in Taylor's apartment, believing the two had teamed up to bait the Chechens and Bolivians into war. The LAPD discover Barry's massacre and conclude the Bolivians were responsible, closing the case and posthumously staining Ryan's reputation. Barry rejoins the acting class, and starts a relationship with Sally. A few weeks later, Gene invites Barry, Sally and Moss to his country home, where Moss becomes suspicious of Barry after learning he goes by his stage name "Barry Block". Her suspicion is further propelled when Gene tells Moss of the monologue Barry gave about being a hitman – and confirmed when she discovers a link between Barry, Chris, and Taylor on Facebook. Barry begs her not to pursue things further. When she refuses, Barry retrieves a hidden gun and shots ring out; it is unclear whether Moss survived. Barry returns to the still-sleeping Sally, and declares, yet again, that his criminal life is over.

However, his sniper misses several times and is shot in the shoulder by Barry, who is furious that they attacked his apartment while Sally was there. Hank, terrified of being sent back to Chechnya, urges Barry to just kill him. However, Barry offers instead to train the Chechen men so that Hank can take down the Burmese himself and return to his partnership with Cristobal while Barry's debt to Hank is paid.

Barry and Sally go to dinner with Sam, where Barry is barely able to contain his rage towards the other man while Sally awkwardly tries to keep things civil. Barry later asks Sally why she was so welcoming to Sam, and she breaks down in his arms as she acknowledges that her scene is a lie and she didn't stand up to him, instead leaving him in the dead of night while he was asleep. Sally is distraught about potentially telling the truth about her relationship with Sam onstage, and Barry assures her that it's sometimes okay to keep secrets. Later, Barry sees that Sam has snuck into the theatre and witnessed Sally rehearsing the scene. Barry chases Sam back to his car, where a furious Sam insults Sally and drives away. Sally later gets a call from Sam, inviting her to come to his hotel so he can give her a gift. Against her better thoughts, she goes. Once there, Sam's nice-guy persona slowly breaks apart and he demands that Sally not do her scene in order to keep him from appearing in a bad light.

Barry, ashamed and enraged at himself, goes to Gene's house and begs him for help. Barry opens up to Gene about Korengal, where he reveals that he unknowingly killed an innocent civilian instead of the gunman who shot his friend. Gene, shaken by Barry's confession, urges him not to repeat the story to the acting class and reassures him that people can change their nature, giving Barry hope for his future.

Ronny's daughter Lily, also proficient in Taekwondo, comes home and viciously attacks Barry before fleeing. Barry urges Fuches to drive him to a hospital to treat the stab wound Lily had inflicted on his back, but Fuches instead takes him to a drugstore and stitches Barry up himself, albeit poorly. Fuches, furious that Barry left Lily alive, drives around the neighborhood looking for her, but Barry refuses to kill her once they find her. Fuches attempts to kill her himself, but concludes that she can't be human after seeing her climb a tree and sit perched for hours on top of a roof. That night, Lily has still not descended from the roof and Fuches is getting impatient. Barry, who has been drifting in and out of consciousness throughout the day, awakens and immediately rips his stitches, causing Fuches to pour superglue in his wound. While this is happening, Lily sneaks into the backseat of the car and bites Fuches in the cheek. Fuches, unable to fight her off because he's glued his hands to the steering wheel, is forced to let her take a chunk out of his cheek and run off.

Barry asks for Gene's help, requesting that Gene help him perform well in Sally's scene in lieu of writing his own. Gene tells Barry to use his own story to find the emotion in Sally's. Onstage, Barry taps into his trauma over killing Detective Moss and delivers a spectacular performance, much to Gene's satisfaction. Lindsay, having witnessed the entire performance, offers to help Sally use it to branch out in her career. Meanwhile, Barry has finished training the Chechens, and Hank gives Barry a pin as a gift for having repaid his debt. Mayrbeck, a young Chechen, thanks Barry for giving him purpose and showing him how to be useful as a soldier. As Hank prepares to ambush Esther, he is surprised to find that his whole army has been captured after an accordion player he had previously insulted sold them out to Esther and Cristobal. Fuches, furious at Barry, begins to comb through the woods near Gene's cabin and eventually finds the car containing Moss's body.
157"The Audition"Alec BergLiz SarnoffMay 12, 2019 (2019-05-12)1.87[22]
Sally turns down the supposedly empowering TV role she is offered involving abused women killing their husbands that is little more than revenge porn. She is jealous when Barry, after being spotted in her agent's lobby, lands an audition for a lead role in a major feature film. While Barry gets acting advice from Gene, Lindsay offers Sally the opportunity to have the acting class perform their scenes on a large stage in order to get Sally's story out into the world. After Hank's men escape a burning bus and a shootout with the Bolivians and Burmese, they abandon him due to his poor leadership choices and turn to Mayrbeck as a leader. When Gene does not show up for Barry's audition, Barry discovers that Fuches is posing as a private detective to lead Gene to Detective Moss's body. Barry underperforms in his audition, much to the intrigue of the director, and leaves in a hurry. After hearing Gene explain how Barry was lost until he came to his class, an infuriated Fuches leads him to Moss's car. After popping the trunk and showing Moss's body to the distraught Gene, Fuches calls the police and confesses to murdering her, pretending to be Gene. Fuches then raises a gun to Gene's head while Barry races through the forest.

Sally changes her scene with Barry mid-performance, declaring to Sam, played by Barry, that they are finished before Sam can choke her, as originally scripted. Sally's performance is met with acclaim from the audience and Lindsay's colleagues, though the two of them are dismayed that they are getting attention from telling a lie. Meanwhile, NoHo Hank and the Chechens move into the Buddhist monastery, previously held by the Burmese mob, and arm themselves for an imminent fight with the Bolivians and the Burmese. Hank reaches out to Barry for help, but Barry refuses to come. Fuches, seeking protection from Barry, brokers a peace between all three gangs, bringing Hank and Cristobal back together in a tearful reunion. The police release Gene to Leo, his son, after finding Hank's Chechen pin near Moss's body, planted there by Barry.

Barry tells Leo that his dad was right, and people really can change their nature. However, Barry gets a text from Hank almost immediately afterwards revealing Fuches's location. Barry travels to the monastery and kills nearly all of the gang members, including Esther and Mayrbeck, as he pursues Fuches, who successfully escapes. NoHo Hank's successor Batir, sent from Chechnya, finds Hank alive at the temple, and is pleased with him for killing Esther. Later, Gene remembers something Fuches whispered to him before he left Gene with Moss's body: "Barry Berkman did this."
