geweldige scene inderdaad.
dit zeggen Jack Huston en Terrence Winter ver het per ongeluk doodschieten van Maybelle en de daarop volgende dood van Richard:
When I spoke to Terence Winter about your climactic scene in the Onyx Club, where Richard is trying to shoot Dr. Narcisse, but it goes dreadfully wrong (Chalky White's daughter, Maybelle, is killed by accident), he said that if Richard hadn’t been fatally wounded he would have committed suicide.
I completely agree with that. To Richard, the fact that he just killed [Maybelle] would have been unforgivable. So it’s interesting Terry said that, because I felt very similar. I was talking with Tim Van Patten, who was directing the episode, about how Richard getting shot was meant to happen. This is how I put it: Richard was a brilliant killer, that’s what he was made to do, it was in his genes, that’s what he was. In the beginning of this season, when he gives up killing, what happens when you give something up and you don’t want to do it anymore is you lose your confidence, you lose everything. So coming back to it, I think it was sort of inevitable – he’s intuitive enough that he knew something was going to go wrong. I feel like he was giving up his life to save Tommy and his family and keep Gillian in jail. There’s a moment where he shoots Maybelle and he just stands there and lets [Chalky's and Narcisse's men] shoot him. They all pull out their guns, he just is looking at her, and he doesn’t flinch. He’s like, "I’ve done that," and he just sort of waits for the bullets.
