Who is Elliot n You Season 4? Meeting Joe Goldberg can be fun or dangerous. We discuss Elliot and his role in the fourth season.
The first five episodes of you season 4 went out on netflix. The latest episode finds a beloved psychopath Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) living under a new identity as a professor of literature in London.
You Season 3 ended with Joe killing his wife, Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti), setting fire to their idyllic suburban home and faking his death in the process. He then crossed the Atlantic in search of his one true love, Mariene (Tati Gabrielle)who desperately tried to put an entire ocean between them.
How did Joe end up working as a beloved professor at a London university? The answer is one very lucky meeting with a man named Elliot Tannenberg. In this article, we are going to explore the character of Elliot and his role in the fourth season of You.
Who is Elliot in You Season 4?
During the season’s opening flashback scenes, we first spot the mysterious man following Joe from afar when he’s too busy chasing Marriene to notice. Later, the man catches up with a heartbroken Joe in a pub, sits in the chair in front of him, and introduces himself as Elliot Tannenberg and his employer as Ray Quinn alias. Love is the rich dad. Turns out the little murder frame job Joe did at the end of Season 3 failed to convince the bereaved father, leading the Quinn family’s fixer Elliot to track him down. across the ocean. Not that anyone can blame Ray for wanting revenge, considering Joe is now responsible for the deaths of his two children.
During seasons 2 and 3 of You, it was heavily implied that Patriarch Quinn had people like Elliot on the payroll. And in You love Me, third novel in the series by Caroline Kepnes, Joe has several interactions with one of these fixers, named Oliver. Still, season four is the first time the character has appeared on the show. Elliot’s introduction this season shouldn’t have come as a surprise to viewers. After all, Love Quinn wasn’t an average middle-class person like Beck or Candace, she was the daughter of a powerful, wealthy man. It’s no surprise that someone like Ray Quinn invests a lot of money to get to the bottom of his child’s death.
Who plays Elliot in You Season 4?
Elliot is played by British actor Adam James. Some of his acting credits include roles in series like Dr Who, I can destroy youand the Netflix miniseries, Treason.
Why is Elliot important?
Not only does Elliot spare Joe’s life, but he is also the one who offers him all the papers he needs to endorse the identity of Jonathan Moore. It is unclear who the real Jonathan More was, or how Elliot came across his documents.
At first, Joe assumed that Elliot had tracked him down to bring him back to the United States where he would finally face real justice for his crimes. But the hitman was sent for something else – he’s here to kill our protagonist in retaliation for Love’s death. But after years of doing Ray Quinn’s dirty work, it seems Elliot is at his wit’s end. He is also aware of a secret bank account in Love’s name that Joe emptied shortly before taking leave of Madre Linda.
The old hitman wants to retire, while Joe needs a fresh start, so the two make a deal – Elliot gives Joe a new identity, while Joe hands over all the money he stole from his late wife. But Elliot also has Joe fix everything, which means murdering Marriene because she’s the only other person who knows he’s alive and in Europe. Joe chooses not to kill her. Instead, he steals her locket and uses it to lie to Elliot.
Is Elliot dead or alive?
Elliot is alive and well and living his best life away from Joe and all the Eat The Rich Killer drama our protagonist got himself into.
When Joe starts receiving strange text messages from the killer, he immediately suspects Elliot is behind it. But when he reaches out to the now-retired hitman, he makes it clear that he’s not involved in our antihero’s thriller. It looks like Elliot is somewhere in the mountains, possibly in Tibet, and he hilariously advises Joe to get into a meditation practice. He then hangs up, annoyed at having to destroy his phone, thus definitively cutting off all lines of communication between him and Joe.
