Call me sentimental, but I seriously can't watch this clip. It'd be one thing if it was some okay-performing actress making me go: "Awww, that's sad," but this just... Touches you in such a deep spot, it's almost too much. Jennifer Carpenter is a goddess.
It makes me so sad that she is this good- because that's not acting, that's real. And that means she has been through something awful and was re-living it to do this scene. Watching her is like accidentally walking in on someone grieving- I feel almost guilty for seeing her in real-life pain :(
Its funny how some people think her acting here was too dramatic. It wasnt too dramatic at all. Think about it, she was in so much pain mentally and physically. She was shot and lost the person she loved. And I know i cant be the only one who has cried to the point where it was hard to breathe. Her acting here is so realistic, its incredible. Jennier is so underrated, she deserves to be more noticed.
When I saw this I was overcome with sadness for Debra Morgan and admiration for Jennifer Carpenter. She captures the uncontrollable weeping so perfectly that it struck a few cords with me.
never noticed this before, but Dexter's monologue after Rita's death is almost the same as this. "It doesn't matter what I do, or what I choose. I'm what's wrong." Such a powerful performance.
I want to feel some sympathy for Deb...but just like what I've done, the choices you make, you're gonna have to live with it...she chose Lundy and look what happened when she cheated on Anton...it was her decision...and I've had mine too. I feel her pain but I just wouldn't like her or sympathize with her in real life in any way. It's just her character, I don't know...I'm more in tune with Dexter. The show's not called Debra.
Why the fuck does Carpenter not have an Emmy or Golden Globe for this? This scene was perfect. The way she acted was so perfect and real. And I fucking hated that Lundy died. He and Deb would have made a great couple. Quinn is just too serious and lacks any emotion.
@Biddybalboa I can see why you think that. I will admit I did too think she was kind of a slutty bitch for the first 2 seasons, because I thought all she wanted to do was just get laid all the time and just beng selfish. But I think Season 3 really started to improve on her character. She does become a little stronger and we see just how caring and conflicted she is. She acts tough to try to take down any criminal while at the same time caring for Dexter and her colleagues.
Whoa. I never watched many episodes of Dexter and thought Jennifer Carpenter was an okay actress at best. However, I was somewhat moved by her performance in this scene. She did a great job.
Holy Shit. @ 1:58, possibly in an attempt to actually console Deb, Dexter tells her who/what he is. "No you're not [broken]. I AM." This is just an all-around moving scene.
Seriously SO real, so perfect. The heaving is so real and so often skipped in bad performances... This ISN'T what they teach in shitty acting classes, this is what you learn from experiencing life.
even my mom, who has never watched this show...was taken aback by this scene she was like "damn she is having a mental breakdown." Jennifer Carpenter should definitely win an award of some kind.

Dexter looks embarrassed for her. You all have got to be joking. If she was 11 I'd say it was good acting. She's pathetic. I'm betting all the likes for this video are over-emotional, broken women too who identify with her. Sucks for ya'll.

Worst cop ever. All she does is cry and look funny and freak out. I just watch her run from the scene of a shooting. You guys must be high. She looks like a boy and is the absolute worst character in this show. I wish The Ice Truck Killer had stabbed her.
God. The acting in this scene is beyond powerful. It's very easy to relate to what Deb is going through due to how she portrays how she's feeling.
She had her entire world one day...just to see it destroyed and blown up before her eyes. Like any person who has lost an ex, or a husband, or a family member leave them. It's tragic...as though the entire world has collapsed...and you can't exist.
I love Dexter for this reason. The characters are all human, all very lovable with their flaws.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I dont think shes that good, she always does scary movies and I always dislike her roles cause all she does is swear and scream and cry and get possessed by the devil. But thats just me lol
A lot of actors have difficulties about doing good cry jobs, but this was outstanding! It was hard not to cry with her, it was really really good performance. And the sort of person she plays still stunns me - so tough but yet so sensitive.
Just one relationship after another ends for Debra. It's so sad. I watched all the seasons over the course of like a week, and I feel so bad for her. And I can even relate... with my own relationship troubles. I know just how this woman feels.
This is honestly, without a doubt, the best single piece of acting i have ever seen in my life. It's so ridiculously real, so raw and believable. I've watched it a dozen times and still my eyes swell with tears because it is just that good.
This is an absolutely fantastic performance, I cried when I saw this scene, it's very powerful. And I have to disagree with those who think that the piano theme is overused, although it's sometimes being played in some scenes where it does'nt fit in my opinion. This scene is just so beautiful in it's own heartbreaking way.
I remember being very impressed with her performance right here as well. The only thing I don't like about this part and many others is that they keep using the same music for different scenes. Like the piano theme right here, it's overused so much for the entire series and that bothers me a lot
Every boyfriend of Deb ends up dead besides Anton which almost did, I think it's an amazing serie I really do but it has some moments that don't feel right
Everytime I hear her say "I'm broken," that's when I start welling up with tears :'[ She is SO talented, I don't understand how Jen isn't recognized when people like Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox are getting so much attention -_-
The first time I saw this, I immediately thought how amazing it was that she was able to act this convincingly. I didn't think other people would have even given it a second thought.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
So annoyingly overplayed. Can't feel for her at all.
Why is it that only 'BIG' scenes seem to impress the ignorant? Even when it comes to MCH, who's king of subtlety and arguably possesses the most expressive face on TV(him and Bryan Cranston), his most talked about stuff almost always tends to be scenes where Dex loses control. There's a lot more to acting than crying or raging, people. Any actor worth his salt will tell you high-charged scenes like those are the easiest to pull off.
@SPMJ if you don't notice that is REAL crying right there
it's easy to fake cry, but if you've ever been in a situation where all you can do is cry
and not the sulky crying, the heart torn crying, then you would see just how real this moment is.
because when you REALLY cry, you don't scream, or wail loudly. you want to, but you can't. the sobs are just too strong. you can't breathe, because every time you inhale there's this painful sob blocking your airway. it's horrible, not beautiful
i remember the first time i watched this scene, it made me sob. literally. first, she's so beautiful. a lot of people are rude about her body, but beauty isn't defined by the size of someone's jeans. she's gorgeous. and most importantly, she did an outstanding job in this scene, not to mention the entire show. she's by far my favourite actress.
Doakes shouldn't have died; Lundy shouldn't have died; Rita shouldn't have died. The writers seem to love killing off the best characters. Deb annoys me at times, but I really identified with her here. This scene is heartwrenching.
She is a very underrated actress. She really puts her best effort into all her roles. She was even awesome in Quarantine, in that she acts exactly like a naive teenager and in this she acts as a broken grown woman. She really should be recognized more.
It makes me SO mad that she is never ever nominated and people like elizabeth moss or january jones are alway nominated when I have, not even once, for a second been even half as impressed with a single line or scene that they've ever done. It shocks me that they would be nominated and Jennifer wouldn't It's ridiculous.
AH MA GAWD!!! This scene is so crazily sad!!!!!!! Jennifer C., high five on that awesomely outstanding performance!! makes me cry everytime i watch it.. ;( I miss lundy too..

Jesus Christ, how did she cry like that? It's so real. Like perfect. I've cried like that before where you're getting short on breath, and you feel like something is stuck in your throat. She's one of the best actors when it comes to crying
@Janetvdl Right? I've cried like that too in a very emotional situation that has caused me to lose my breath... How can you pull that off without anything real happening?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
she always fucking cries! and she's a detective? she's too emotional, and over a 80 year? seriously the biggest slut on a tv show. funny dexter is married to her.
somethinmes she can be a bit stale, but sometimes, like THIS... she is such an amazing actor, some sort of reward should be given for this and after what she did in season 1 after she was allmost killed by the ice truck killer... on the way to the hospital!
"It doesn't matter what I do, what I choose . . . I'm what's wrong . . ." Note that Dexter says the same thing in episode 12. Brothers and sisters truly do have a bond as deep as blood.
I could be majorly reading into this (and as an English major, I tend to do that) but I think that Michael C. Hall was diagnosed with Hodgkins somewhere in the filming of this season. It makes me wonder, at certain points in the dialogue, if the secret of his illness was fueling the sadness of this scene. Like when Debra says, "I'm broken." And Dex replies, "No. I am."
@RevolutionaryTea I think its like a window into Dexter's developing "feelings", like Debra says how she respects him and longs to have a life like that (loving wife, kids), while Dexter lets his guard down for a second replying "No, you are the one with the kindness of heart, I wish I was more like you". But who knows, thats what I read.
Anyway, heartbreaking scene and outstanding series
i remember the first time i saw this part i almost couldnt watch it cuz she was so convincing, and made me feel for her =( she really is an awesome actress
I was here on Sunday! The Marina Del Rey Hotel. This was also the hotel room where the Ice truck killer poured blood all over a hotel room. Right across the way was the Miami Metro Police station. It was fucking awesome.
amazing , powerful acting and guess what ?only a " few" people will see it
seems a shame that around only 2.5 MM watched the season 4 finale and there only 2800 views here... I don't this level of acting ANYWHERE else on regular tv
She seems to be on the edge of tears every fucking scene

i remember the first time i watched this scene, it made me sob. literally. first, she's so beautiful. a lot of people are rude about her body, but beauty isn't defined by the size of someone's jeans. she's gorgeous. and most importantly, she did an outstanding job in this scene, not to mention the entire show. she's by far my favourite actress.
<3 you jen.

Doakes shouldn't have died; Lundy shouldn't have died; Rita shouldn't have died. The writers seem to love killing off the best characters. Deb annoys me at times, but I really identified with her here. This scene is heartwrenching.

@lak12111 If they dint die, the show would have sucked. It's all the deaths and emotions that WE as an audience make the show good.

She is a very underrated actress. She really puts her best effort into all her roles. She was even awesome in Quarantine, in that she acts exactly like a naive teenager and in this she acts as a broken grown woman. She really should be recognized more.

I love the fioreshadowing in it. Dexters last lines in S4 after finding out Rita is dead, is EXACTLY the same.

Man, you´re right. That´s pretty much what Dexter says at the end of the last episode.
Nice detail.
i cannot wait for the next episode. What the hell is going to happen?

It makes me SO mad that she is never ever nominated and people like elizabeth moss or january jones are alway nominated when I have, not even once, for a second been even half as impressed with a single line or scene that they've ever done. It shocks me that they would be nominated and Jennifer wouldn't It's ridiculous.

Jesus Christ, how did she cry like that? It's so real. Like perfect. I've cried like that before where you're getting short on breath, and you feel like something is stuck in your throat. She's one of the best actors when it comes to crying

@Janetvdl Right? I've cried like that too in a very emotional situation that has caused me to lose my breath... How can you pull that off without anything real happening?

I have seen MANY crying scenes. This one actually brought a tear to my eye because it felt so REAL.

she always fucking cries! and she's a detective? she's too emotional, and over a 80 year? seriously the biggest slut on a tv show. funny dexter is married to her.

I dunno why but scenes like this where we see a strong character completely broken always seem to get to me. Brilliant acting by Jen Carpenter.

eerie-Deb had the same dialouge as Dexter did when he found Rita
wmdude102086 1 year ago
somethinmes she can be a bit stale, but sometimes, like THIS... she is such an amazing actor, some sort of reward should be given for this and after what she did in season 1 after she was allmost killed by the ice truck killer... on the way to the hospital!

"It doesn't matter what I do, what I choose . . . I'm what's wrong . . ." Note that Dexter says the same thing in episode 12. Brothers and sisters truly do have a bond as deep as blood.

I could be majorly reading into this (and as an English major, I tend to do that) but I think that Michael C. Hall was diagnosed with Hodgkins somewhere in the filming of this season. It makes me wonder, at certain points in the dialogue, if the secret of his illness was fueling the sadness of this scene. Like when Debra says, "I'm broken." And Dex replies, "No. I am."
RevolutionaryTea 1 year ago 5
@RevolutionaryTea I think its like a window into Dexter's developing "feelings", like Debra says how she respects him and longs to have a life like that (loving wife, kids), while Dexter lets his guard down for a second replying "No, you are the one with the kindness of heart, I wish I was more like you". But who knows, thats what I read.
Anyway, heartbreaking scene and outstanding series

I was here on Sunday! The Marina Del Rey Hotel. This was also the hotel room where the Ice truck killer poured blood all over a hotel room. Right across the way was the Miami Metro Police station. It was fucking awesome.

amazing , powerful acting and guess what ?only a " few" people will see it
seems a shame that around only 2.5 MM watched the season 4 finale and there only 2800 views here... I don't this level of acting ANYWHERE else on regular tv
Hall is letting her shine -it's her scene
