Severance - Helly Leaving Lumon Sequence - Continuous

** 1/15/2025 - Just wanted to add a few comments here. I didn't expect this video to get so many views, and I'm thrilled (BTW, I don't make a penny off of this video). I was a professional editor here in L.A. for many years (hence, my name "laeditor"), so this was just a fun thing for me to create. I absolutely loved the first season of Severance, thought it was brilliant, and have always been a fan of when a show revisits scenes from a different perspective. I didn't want to disrespect the original format, or risk losing the emotional impact that the creators intended by splitting the scenes into different episodes, but after reading all the comments, I do believe that most people have enjoyed seeing this scene play out continuously. Keep the comments coming, but please remember to be kind and respectful. It's what we can all easily do, for free, to make this crazy world a better place.

** Original Description: Just for fun, I decided to edit together the scenes from the AppleTV show "Severance", Episode 1 and 2, where Helly is attempting to leave Lumon shortly after her "inny" awakens.

I always thought it was weird how outie helly didn’t realize that something was wrong because her innie kept trying to leave, but knowing who she is now it makes sense

[AluminiumPanda]

That “it’s amazing what you’re doing” makes so much more sense now. Whoa.

[julianseguin]

“When we heard you were coming here, it was like a miracle.”

Now knowing who she is, it makes sense.

[MrXabungle]

When Outie Helly says "Where am I?" after the orientation, Milchick immediately switches from overly friendly to corporate, but he is completely in awe working directly with an Eagan.

[yam]

Never noticed that they both say “what the hell” on their second attempt

I caught this myself, but I think this is a really well-done and useful edit.

"Every time you find yourself here, it's because you chose to come back."

Her innie carries so much more tension in her shoulders and walk. It's really hard to tell until you see them side by side like this

[KaritKtana]

When Milchick says "you're learning that you do"
_SHUDDER_

Awesome edit. My wife gave me a blank stare after showing this to her because she forgot these weren’t from the same episode. Well done haha

[ActuallyAFungus]

Great edit! It feels realy satisfying to see these scenes all shown together in sequence.

[scaroian]

At first I thought that meant to trick them, that they were not actually leaving nor they ever had the choice to, just a mind trick. It hits harder knowing it was her outer self coming back in, damn

[jcapo]

Dam this show was perfect. All that mystery was built up and answered within a good amount of time. Unlike other shows where the mystery DRAGS ON and by the time the answers come, you don't care anymore.

[jcdent]

I need to re-watch. I had completely forgotten about the exchange in the stairwell and having seen the whole show, it completely changes it.

[jtw.]

I feel like if it weren’t for the risk of spoiling the twist, Milchick would’ve called her Helena and not Helly when she was out in the stairwell.

[aderonkesalisu]

Now I get this scene. The first time I watched it, I didn’t understand it. The inny was fighting against the outy. The outy wanted to stay in lumon to see the process through but the inny saw what it was like in there and wanted out.

[joelfenner]

I want to compliment you on such an amazing edit. It perfectly captures the confusing perspective of someone who has undergone severance.

[J.P.Robles]

The actor who played Mr Milchick did such an amazing job
Acting like the nice boss who wants everyone to be happy but in here it’s only because he didn’t want them protesting against Lumon
He knows that this is better than fear tactics because it makes the employees want to stay

[RikudoSennin]

Of course. Seen from the innys perspective its an infinite loop. Everytime she tries to open the door and get out, she comes back to the same place. Actually she succeded but has no memories of her outy coming back by her own. From the innys point of view, it all happens in an instant, just like when its time to go back home. They are going upstairs in the elevator and suddenly they are going down.

[DigiDestinedX]

Beautiful editing. The transitions are INCREDIBLY SEAMLESS! Well done! 😃

Thanks for putting this together. Can’t wait for season two!
