00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:11,879
- "1883" is...
- Gritty.

5
00:00:11,945 --> 00:00:13,447
- Intense.
- Beautiful.

6
00:00:13,514 --> 00:00:15,583
It's epic.
There's no question about it.

7
00:00:15,649 --> 00:00:17,818
- It's a young woman's
coming of age story.

8
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:19,387
- It's massive.
- Mind-boggling.

9
00:00:19,453 --> 00:00:20,788
- It's a journey.

10
00:00:20,854 --> 00:00:24,525
- There's excitement, danger,
unpredictability.

11
00:00:24,592 --> 00:00:26,094
- I don't care if I do
any other show

12
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,128
for the rest of my life.

13
00:00:27,195 --> 00:00:28,829
I only do Westerns from now.

14
00:00:28,896 --> 00:00:31,065
- Those are the kind
of stories I like to tell,

15
00:00:31,132 --> 00:00:33,267
and that's the way
I like to tell them.

18
00:00:48,449 --> 00:00:51,185
The idea to make "1883"

19
00:00:51,252 --> 00:00:53,287
actually came from
one of the studio executives

20
00:00:53,354 --> 00:00:58,126
asking me about the backstory
of John Dutton.

21
00:00:58,192 --> 00:00:59,593
And I explained it to him

22
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:01,995
from the origin
of where they came,

23
00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:06,033
and he thought that that in
and of itself was a TV show.

24
00:01:07,135 --> 00:01:11,139
I was intrigued by the idea,
and so I wrote some flashbacks

25
00:01:11,139 --> 00:01:14,642
that people have now seen
on "Yellowstone."

26
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:16,144
- So Taylor called, he goes,

27
00:01:16,177 --> 00:01:17,378
"Hey, man,
I want you to be in the show.

28
00:01:17,445 --> 00:01:19,547
"I want you to be
in 'Yellowstone.'

29
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:20,948
Are you're interested in it?"

30
00:01:21,014 --> 00:01:23,517
And he says, "I got this idea.

31
00:01:23,584 --> 00:01:25,319
"We're gonna do a flashback,

32
00:01:25,386 --> 00:01:27,188
"and you're gonna play
the original Dutton

33
00:01:27,255 --> 00:01:31,292
"who founded
the Yellowstone ranch.

34
00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:33,761
You're also gonna have
a wife in this."

35
00:01:33,827 --> 00:01:35,729
He says, "Do you think
Faith would be interested

36
00:01:35,796 --> 00:01:37,498
in playing your wife
in the flashbacks?"

37
00:01:37,565 --> 00:01:40,234
* *

38
00:01:40,301 --> 00:01:42,035
- If you go in the handbook
of directors,

39
00:01:42,170 --> 00:01:43,771
you're not supposed to hire
a husband and wife

40
00:01:43,837 --> 00:01:45,539
to do a movie together.

41
00:01:45,606 --> 00:01:47,475
It's historically failed
every time,

42
00:01:47,541 --> 00:01:51,078
but you're also not supposed
to film kids or horses, so.

43
00:01:51,512 --> 00:01:53,781
- We both watch the show,

44
00:01:53,847 --> 00:01:56,850
so we were excited
to have that invitation

45
00:01:56,917 --> 00:01:59,553
and didn't know quite
what to expect.

46
00:02:01,021 --> 00:02:02,223
- Then I spoke with Sam Elliott

47
00:02:02,290 --> 00:02:05,293
about doing something
in the space.

48
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:07,228
* *

49
00:02:07,295 --> 00:02:10,831
- I got a call from him.
"I got something to show you,"

50
00:02:10,898 --> 00:02:13,401
and he sent me
this series of scripts,

51
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:17,305
and there was no saying no,

52
00:02:17,371 --> 00:02:19,106
because it spoke to me.

53
00:02:19,207 --> 00:02:22,210
The character spoke to me.
The show speaks to me.

54
00:02:22,276 --> 00:02:24,011

55
00:02:24,077 --> 00:02:28,582
You know what I'm doing here?

56
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:30,984
Looking for a reason.

57
00:02:31,051 --> 00:02:33,120
You wanna be my reason?

58
00:02:33,221 --> 00:02:34,722
- I had not found
the connective tissue

59
00:02:34,788 --> 00:02:38,526
between this origin story
of James Dutton

60
00:02:38,592 --> 00:02:42,763
and this road to redemption
story of Sam Elliott.

61
00:02:42,830 --> 00:02:44,698
I had not found the bridge.

62
00:02:44,765 --> 00:02:47,901
And the actress Isabel May
read for me

63
00:02:47,968 --> 00:02:49,737
for another TV series,

64
00:02:49,803 --> 00:02:53,241
and it dawned on me
that she was the bridge.

65
00:02:55,676 --> 00:02:58,746
I called the network,
and I said, I found our lead,

66
00:02:58,812 --> 00:03:00,013
and I haven't written a word,

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,949
and you're just gonna
have to trust me.

68
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:03,484
* *

69
00:03:03,551 --> 00:03:05,118
- This is something different
altogether,

70
00:03:05,253 --> 00:03:07,120
'cause you're seeing it through
the eyes of a young woman.

71
00:03:07,255 --> 00:03:09,690
And I don't think
that's ever been done before.

72
00:03:09,757 --> 00:03:11,525
Not in this way.

73
00:03:11,592 --> 00:03:15,963
- We are seeing things through
an 18-year-old girl's eyes.

74
00:03:16,029 --> 00:03:17,465
And it's a very different
vision of the West

75
00:03:17,531 --> 00:03:20,368
because you see it,
sort of her innocence

76
00:03:20,434 --> 00:03:22,936
and her magic that she's able
to show us this world

77
00:03:23,003 --> 00:03:26,474
that has sex and violence
and despair,

78
00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:28,642
but also hope.

79
00:03:28,709 --> 00:03:32,380
- To play a character
that narrates her own story

80
00:03:32,446 --> 00:03:35,849
as well as every
other character story,

81
00:03:35,916 --> 00:03:37,818
it's extremely humbling.

82
00:03:39,287 --> 00:03:43,957
Freedom is riding wild
over untamed land

83
00:03:44,024 --> 00:03:47,561
with no notion
any moment exists

84
00:03:47,628 --> 00:03:50,498
beyond the one you are living.

85
00:03:52,099 --> 00:03:53,334
- It's pretty phenomenal,
right?

86
00:03:53,401 --> 00:03:55,168
If you just sort of look
at a big family tree,

87
00:03:55,303 --> 00:03:57,305
it takes us back
many generations

88
00:03:57,305 --> 00:03:59,407
and that survival
and fighting for the land

89
00:03:59,473 --> 00:04:02,410
and doing what's right
and protecting your family

90
00:04:02,476 --> 00:04:03,711
are these similar themes

91
00:04:03,777 --> 00:04:05,913
that were handed down
generation to generation

92
00:04:05,979 --> 00:04:07,848
until we get the John Dutton.

93
00:04:07,915 --> 00:04:10,318
[tense country music]

95
00:04:12,353 --> 00:04:14,788
- Good shot.
- Yep.

96
00:04:14,855 --> 00:04:19,126
- James is John's great, great,
great grandfather.

97
00:04:19,192 --> 00:04:21,161
- You can see the bloodline.

98
00:04:21,228 --> 00:04:24,332
You can see the strength
in the bloodline.

99
00:04:24,365 --> 00:04:28,001
You can see the backbone
that this family has

100
00:04:28,068 --> 00:04:30,738
and the power that they have,

101
00:04:30,804 --> 00:04:33,341
and their concern
for each other.

102
00:04:33,374 --> 00:04:35,343
I believe in you,
and I believe in that boy,

103
00:04:35,343 --> 00:04:37,378
and I believe in our daughter.
That's all.

104
00:04:37,445 --> 00:04:40,881
- That's why it's so important
to the Dutton family

105
00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:43,083
present day
to fight for his land.

106
00:04:43,150 --> 00:04:44,918
And, like, you see
how fierce they are,

107
00:04:44,985 --> 00:04:46,954
fighting for what's theirs.

108
00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:49,490

00:04:49,557 --> 00:04:52,092

00:04:52,159 --> 00:04:55,195
[crying]
God!

111
00:04:55,262 --> 00:05:00,033
- "1883" is a journey
of an unlikely group of people

112
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:03,070
fighting against
the forces of nature,

113
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:05,473
the malice of humankind

114
00:05:05,539 --> 00:05:08,041
in search of change
and a new home.

115
00:05:08,108 --> 00:05:10,077
* *

116
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:12,380
- It's about freedom.

117
00:05:12,380 --> 00:05:14,715
It's about the American dream,
which, you know,

118
00:05:14,782 --> 00:05:18,452
it's become this synonymous
with the idea of freedom,

119
00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:22,022
about the beauty of it
and the ugliness of it,

120
00:05:22,089 --> 00:05:24,558
and all the beautiful things

121
00:05:24,625 --> 00:05:26,259
people will do
for their freedom

122
00:05:26,394 --> 00:05:30,297
and then also all the ugly
things they do for it.

123
00:05:30,398 --> 00:05:32,666
I can be a good wife.

124
00:05:32,733 --> 00:05:36,937
- Stop.
Quit it.

125
00:05:37,004 --> 00:05:39,607
The thing about "1883,"
it's a tale that's been told.

126
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:42,209
It's a tale that
we're all familiar with,

127
00:05:42,275 --> 00:05:43,977
the Oregon Trail.

128
00:05:44,044 --> 00:05:47,415
But it's never been done like
Taylor's done it on the page.

129
00:05:47,415 --> 00:05:50,418
- You think we're fools
just because we--

130
00:05:50,451 --> 00:05:54,855
- You have no horses, no guns.
You can't ride.

131
00:05:54,922 --> 00:05:56,557
You are a fucking fool.

132
00:05:56,624 --> 00:05:59,527
* *

133
00:05:59,593 --> 00:06:01,328
- History is doomed
to repeat itself

134
00:06:01,429 --> 00:06:03,897
because it's never taught
accurately.

135
00:06:03,964 --> 00:06:05,933
As a storyteller,
my job is to try

136
00:06:05,999 --> 00:06:08,335
and hold a mirror up to nature

137
00:06:08,436 --> 00:06:10,438
and reflect back the world
as it was.

138
00:06:10,471 --> 00:06:13,140
I think that it's truth
through fiction.

139
00:06:14,274 --> 00:06:18,311
- There's a grittiness to it.
There's an authenticity to it.

140
00:06:18,446 --> 00:06:19,780
It feels real.

141
00:06:19,847 --> 00:06:22,483
The struggles are all real.
The people are all real.

142
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:26,353
We're traveling with
a caravan of immigrants.

143
00:06:26,454 --> 00:06:27,788
- It was incredible for me

144
00:06:27,855 --> 00:06:29,256
because I am
an immigrant myself.

145
00:06:29,322 --> 00:06:31,559
So I get to tell
a story of someone

146
00:06:31,625 --> 00:06:36,464
who goes across the world
to follow their dream.

147
00:06:36,530 --> 00:06:39,332
- Most people who went West

148
00:06:39,467 --> 00:06:41,635
saw ads in newspapers in Poland

149
00:06:41,702 --> 00:06:46,373
and in Croatia and in Germany
and answered those ads

150
00:06:46,474 --> 00:06:50,143
and saved up all their money,
sold everything they had,

151
00:06:50,210 --> 00:06:53,346
and hired a group that would
take them on these wagons.

152
00:06:53,481 --> 00:06:55,048
- In the 1800s,

153
00:06:55,115 --> 00:06:58,919
there's actually a large flight
of immigrants to America

154
00:06:58,986 --> 00:07:00,721
because there's overpopulation.

155
00:07:00,788 --> 00:07:04,792
And there was a high rate
of unemployment.

156
00:07:04,858 --> 00:07:07,728
- It's actually interesting
there has been a Texan--

157
00:07:07,795 --> 00:07:11,331
a German Texan immigrant
who wrote letters,

158
00:07:11,398 --> 00:07:14,001
like beautiful letters,

159
00:07:14,067 --> 00:07:16,036
how beautiful Texas is
and everything,

160
00:07:16,103 --> 00:07:18,506
and these letters were printed
in a German newspaper.

161
00:07:18,572 --> 00:07:20,741
And many Germans
at the time read them,

162
00:07:20,808 --> 00:07:22,776
and that was their decision
to come.

163
00:07:22,843 --> 00:07:26,547
I think people dreamed
of change

164
00:07:26,614 --> 00:07:30,250
and creating something
and having land

165
00:07:30,317 --> 00:07:32,419
and being free.

166
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,287
It's a free country.

167
00:07:34,354 --> 00:07:35,889
- That's a free country.

168
00:07:35,956 --> 00:07:37,958
That is Comanche land.

169
00:07:38,025 --> 00:07:39,993
Beyond it
is no man's land,

170
00:07:40,060 --> 00:07:43,531
and that's where we're going.
You ain't free yet.

171
00:07:43,564 --> 00:07:45,866
- And these people
didn't speak English,

172
00:07:45,933 --> 00:07:48,536
had no notion of
what the Southwest was like

173
00:07:48,602 --> 00:07:49,903
or the Great Plains were like.

174
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:52,305
Had no idea they were
horribly unprepared,

175
00:07:52,372 --> 00:07:53,774
facing a whole new host
of diseases

176
00:07:53,841 --> 00:07:56,544
that they've never been
exposed to,

177
00:07:56,577 --> 00:07:59,179
elements they've never
been exposed to.

178
00:07:59,246 --> 00:08:04,084
It was an extremely dangerous,
dangerous journey.

179
00:08:04,151 --> 00:08:06,253
* *

180
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,188
- I'll push her.
Now get to the back.

181
00:08:08,255 --> 00:08:10,758
- [groaning]

182
00:08:10,824 --> 00:08:13,226
[grunting]

183
00:08:13,293 --> 00:08:15,663
- [screaming]

184
00:08:15,729 --> 00:08:16,930
- This is what happened.

185
00:08:16,997 --> 00:08:20,067
This is the journey
that our ancestors took,

186
00:08:20,133 --> 00:08:24,905
and it was horrifying
and extremely difficult.

187
00:08:27,007 --> 00:08:28,709
- It's nothing new.
It's happened back then.

188
00:08:28,776 --> 00:08:30,010
It's happening now.

189
00:08:30,077 --> 00:08:31,478
We're all immigrants
in this country,

190
00:08:31,579 --> 00:08:33,947
and this journey...
it's so compelling,

191
00:08:34,014 --> 00:08:37,250
and it tells a story that
just--it's gut-wrenching

192
00:08:37,317 --> 00:08:38,852
but it's truthful.

193
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:43,256
And there's a lot of people
in this journey

194
00:08:43,323 --> 00:08:46,660
that haven't been represented
in other westerns.

195
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:51,899
- I don't think that there is
a more misrepresented group

196
00:08:51,965 --> 00:08:54,868
in American cinema
than the Native American.

197
00:08:54,935 --> 00:08:58,906
And what little I can do
to correct

198
00:08:58,972 --> 00:09:02,109
that historical perspective
in fiction, I'm gonna do.

199
00:09:02,175 --> 00:09:05,245
- When historians write books
about native people,

200
00:09:05,312 --> 00:09:08,782
a lot of times
they put us in this box, right?

201
00:09:08,849 --> 00:09:10,718
And they say, oh,
they were hunter-gatherers,

202
00:09:10,784 --> 00:09:12,753
or they lived
according to this way.

203
00:09:12,820 --> 00:09:14,521
It completely
removes the idea

204
00:09:14,622 --> 00:09:15,923
that we were also individuals.

205
00:09:15,989 --> 00:09:17,658
We had our own
individual tastes,

206
00:09:17,725 --> 00:09:19,259
our own individual
attractions.

207
00:09:19,326 --> 00:09:21,695
And that's kind of the way
the storytelling has gone

208
00:09:21,762 --> 00:09:23,631
in Hollywood for a long time.

209
00:09:23,697 --> 00:09:25,132
- One of the most
interesting things

210
00:09:25,198 --> 00:09:29,737
is the number one cause
of death on these wagon trains

211
00:09:29,803 --> 00:09:31,504
was people
falling off a wagon

212
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:34,642
and getting run over.

213
00:09:34,708 --> 00:09:36,777
The number two cause of death

214
00:09:36,844 --> 00:09:39,379
was accidental discharge
of firearms.

215
00:09:39,446 --> 00:09:42,015
Number three, it was drowning
in river crossing.

216
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:44,952
Number seven
was Native Americans.

217
00:09:45,018 --> 00:09:47,320
I think in all the stuff
that we learned growing up

218
00:09:47,387 --> 00:09:50,891
was the number one fear
was Native Americans.

219
00:09:50,958 --> 00:09:54,427
And nine times out of ten,
they were trying to help.

220
00:09:54,494 --> 00:09:57,197
- I made the Native American
community a promise

221
00:09:57,264 --> 00:09:59,733
that I was gonna tell
their story truthfully.

222
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,935
And so, every opportunity
I get to do it,

223
00:10:02,002 --> 00:10:03,737
I try to fulfill that promise.

224
00:10:03,804 --> 00:10:06,139
* *

225
00:10:06,206 --> 00:10:12,012
- It's rare to have the kind of
story that we have been handed,

226
00:10:12,079 --> 00:10:14,581
to be honest with you.
And I think for all of us,

227
00:10:14,648 --> 00:10:17,050
we feel the responsibility

228
00:10:17,117 --> 00:10:19,486
to do the best job
that we can

229
00:10:19,552 --> 00:10:21,588
to bring these characters
to life

230
00:10:21,655 --> 00:10:23,590
the way they were written.

231
00:10:26,994 --> 00:10:30,964
- There's three classic
struggles in these westerns.

232
00:10:31,031 --> 00:10:34,501
It's man against man,
man against himself,

233
00:10:34,567 --> 00:10:37,204
man against the environment.

234
00:10:37,270 --> 00:10:40,974
In those struggles,
we're all in this in spades.

235
00:10:41,041 --> 00:10:43,777
Let's go.

236
00:10:43,844 --> 00:10:47,981
* *

237
00:10:53,453 --> 00:10:58,158
- "1883" is the origin story
of the Dutton family.

238
00:10:58,225 --> 00:11:00,527
The Duttons come
from Tennessee originally.

239
00:11:00,728 --> 00:11:02,963
- There's a number of people
who moved West

240
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:04,998
out of desperation
from the South.

241
00:11:05,065 --> 00:11:06,767
And America was unique
in the fact

242
00:11:06,834 --> 00:11:09,136
that, wherever you were
that you failed,

243
00:11:09,202 --> 00:11:12,072
you could simply move west
to a new place

244
00:11:12,139 --> 00:11:16,176
and reinvent yourself
and reinvent your life.

245
00:11:16,243 --> 00:11:17,510
- The main characters
are Tim McGraw,

246
00:11:17,577 --> 00:11:19,579
who plays obviously
James Dutton.

247
00:11:19,646 --> 00:11:22,916
We have Faith Hill,
who plays Margaret Dutton.

248
00:11:22,983 --> 00:11:24,752
We have Isabel May,
who plays Elsa.

249
00:11:24,785 --> 00:11:26,419
Sam Elliott plays Shea.

250
00:11:26,486 --> 00:11:30,323
And then LaMonica Garrett
plays Thomas.

251
00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:33,393
- Elsa Dutton is a daughter
of the patriarch

252
00:11:33,460 --> 00:11:35,896
and matriarch
of the Dutton family.

253
00:11:38,131 --> 00:11:41,401
- At this time,
we have two children, Elsa,

254
00:11:41,468 --> 00:11:43,937
and then we have John.

255
00:11:44,004 --> 00:11:47,941
- I wanted to be John Dutton
'cause he was a boy,

256
00:11:48,008 --> 00:11:50,844
and he loves the outside.

257
00:11:50,911 --> 00:11:53,013
I love the outside too.

258
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,616
- Elsa, she's very naive.

259
00:11:56,683 --> 00:11:58,886
She's experienced
very few things.

260
00:11:58,952 --> 00:12:00,988
They lived on a little farm.

261
00:12:01,054 --> 00:12:02,555
She'd seen the same people
her entire life,

262
00:12:02,622 --> 00:12:05,926
and she was bored.
She was desperate to get out.

263
00:12:05,993 --> 00:12:08,361
- This child is spirited,

264
00:12:08,428 --> 00:12:11,064
and she's hard-headed
and strong,

265
00:12:11,131 --> 00:12:12,665
but she's also very smart.

266
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,835
- Elsa is extremely independent

267
00:12:14,902 --> 00:12:16,669
at a time when a young woman

268
00:12:16,804 --> 00:12:19,272
is not allowed to be
independent in such a way.

269
00:12:19,339 --> 00:12:21,508
There are certain things
that we weren't allowed

270
00:12:21,574 --> 00:12:25,145
to say or voice.
And as the journey continues,

271
00:12:25,212 --> 00:12:29,817
she sheds that civilized
kind of costume

272
00:12:29,883 --> 00:12:32,385
and starts to flourish

273
00:12:32,452 --> 00:12:35,655
because she loves this world
so much

274
00:12:35,722 --> 00:12:37,424
and what it has to offer.

275
00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:39,626
- There's a fair chance
you're too pretty for me.

276
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:42,729
If you are, rather know now
so I don't waste my time.

277
00:12:42,830 --> 00:12:44,297
- Maybe you're too pretty
for me.

278
00:12:44,364 --> 00:12:46,099
- [laughs]

279
00:12:46,166 --> 00:12:52,639
- Right away, Ennis is just
fully blown away by Elsa--

280
00:12:52,705 --> 00:12:55,208
aside from her beauty,

281
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:57,878
her wit, her brashness.

282
00:12:57,945 --> 00:12:59,312
And I think she's
the first girl

283
00:12:59,379 --> 00:13:01,849
that ever makes
Ennis speechless.

284
00:13:01,915 --> 00:13:04,184
Oh, my gosh,
you're forward.

285
00:13:07,487 --> 00:13:09,489
- Part of the storyline is,
you know,

286
00:13:09,556 --> 00:13:11,859
they were escaping poverty
and looking for a better life.

287
00:13:11,859 --> 00:13:13,060
And I think there's more to it

288
00:13:13,126 --> 00:13:14,694
than that in my mind
for James Dutton.

289
00:13:14,761 --> 00:13:17,397
During the series, you find
out that I was a captain

290
00:13:17,464 --> 00:13:19,499
in the Civil War
for the Confederacy,

291
00:13:19,566 --> 00:13:21,568
put in a position
that he didn't want to be in.

292
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:23,736
- Tim's character was one
of those who was drafted

293
00:13:23,871 --> 00:13:26,439
and conscripted into the army.

294
00:13:26,506 --> 00:13:32,279
And then endured, you know,
years in a prison of war camp

295
00:13:32,345 --> 00:13:35,548
and then came home
to a destroyed homeland

296
00:13:35,615 --> 00:13:37,584
and had lost faith
in that society.

297
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:39,519
- He had a lot of pain
and PTSD from that.

298
00:13:39,586 --> 00:13:41,288
I mean, you see it
in the flashbacks,

299
00:13:41,354 --> 00:13:43,656
and you see little glimpses
of who James is,

300
00:13:43,723 --> 00:13:47,427
and you know that he's not
as hard as he comes across.

301
00:13:47,494 --> 00:13:49,596
He really cares about people,
but you also know that

302
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:52,966
his family's the number one
concern that he has.

303
00:13:53,033 --> 00:13:54,734
- He dreamed of a better place.

304
00:13:54,801 --> 00:13:57,137
He dreamed of a life
where he could dictate

305
00:13:57,204 --> 00:13:59,239
his own fortune or failure.

306
00:13:59,306 --> 00:14:01,641
And his family trusted him.

307
00:14:01,708 --> 00:14:05,812
- In my work as I become
more invested in the people

308
00:14:05,913 --> 00:14:08,348
that we're trying to help
as the journey goes on.

309
00:14:08,415 --> 00:14:09,716
You know, I'm always
there for my family,

310
00:14:09,782 --> 00:14:12,085
and I'm always concerned
about my family,

311
00:14:12,152 --> 00:14:15,255
but I think as the show
goes on,

312
00:14:15,322 --> 00:14:16,957
you realize that James cares
more about people

313
00:14:17,024 --> 00:14:18,591
than you think he does.

314
00:14:18,658 --> 00:14:21,261
- It's better to double
the latigo with him.

315
00:14:21,328 --> 00:14:24,097
- Girl, I've forgotten more
about horses

316
00:14:24,164 --> 00:14:25,798
than you'll ever know.

317
00:14:25,933 --> 00:14:29,169
Margaret, at the age of 17,

318
00:14:29,236 --> 00:14:30,670
was a nurse in the Civil War.

319
00:14:30,737 --> 00:14:33,373
That would change your life,
basically.

320
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,775
It would give you
a perspective of life

321
00:14:35,842 --> 00:14:40,047
that a 17-year-old in this day
and age could never imagine.

322
00:14:40,113 --> 00:14:42,349
- I mean, she is really
this sort of strong-willed,

323
00:14:42,415 --> 00:14:44,952
powerful woman of the West.

324
00:14:44,952 --> 00:14:46,519
She's raising a young boy

325
00:14:46,586 --> 00:14:49,122
and a young, you know, daughter
who's becoming a woman.

326
00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:51,524
And obviously has to manage
all of that while she sort of

327
00:14:51,591 --> 00:14:54,494
takes this family
on this very treacherous,

328
00:14:54,561 --> 00:14:57,330
dangerous journey
across America.

329
00:14:57,397 --> 00:15:00,067
- Her heart, she becomes
stronger and stronger

330
00:15:00,133 --> 00:15:03,236
and stronger
as the journey goes on.

331
00:15:03,303 --> 00:15:05,705
- The moment our first daughter
was born,

332
00:15:05,772 --> 00:15:08,775
I'm a mom for the rest
of my life, period.

333
00:15:08,841 --> 00:15:10,510
I mean,
that is the first thing.

334
00:15:10,577 --> 00:15:12,079
That's the last thing.
That's the middle thing.

335
00:15:12,145 --> 00:15:14,982
That's everything.
My character is most concerned

336
00:15:15,015 --> 00:15:17,317
about what is this
going to do to my family?

337
00:15:17,384 --> 00:15:19,519
Look after your brother.
- I will.

338
00:15:19,586 --> 00:15:23,023
- "Yes, ma'am."
- I said I will.

339
00:15:23,090 --> 00:15:24,357
- I know what you said.

340
00:15:24,424 --> 00:15:26,693
What you didn't say
is "Yes, ma'am."

341
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:28,261
- Women don't say that
to each other.

342
00:15:28,328 --> 00:15:31,298
- Oh, so you're a woman now?
- Aren't I?

343
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:36,369
Elsa has always viewed
her mother

344
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:40,107
as restraining her
from, you know,

345
00:15:40,173 --> 00:15:44,011
being able to fully embrace
all that life has to offer.

346
00:15:44,011 --> 00:15:47,747
And so, therefore, she kinda
has it out for her mom.

347
00:15:47,814 --> 00:15:51,251
- Margaret and Elsa have such
a contentious relationship,

348
00:15:51,318 --> 00:15:54,721
as most teenage daughters
and moms do.

349
00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:57,757
- Then she sees her mother
in a different light

350
00:15:57,824 --> 00:16:02,662
because there's clearly a past
that she's unaware of.

351
00:16:02,729 --> 00:16:04,897
Her mother can ride
a horse beautifully.

352
00:16:05,032 --> 00:16:07,600
And so she kind of starts
to understand

353
00:16:07,667 --> 00:16:10,037
my mother was something else
in the past,

354
00:16:10,070 --> 00:16:11,771
and she gave that up,

355
00:16:11,838 --> 00:16:14,041
and maybe
she gave that up for me.

356
00:16:14,074 --> 00:16:17,044
- That's the biggest part of
James and Elsa's relationship,

357
00:16:17,077 --> 00:16:18,411
that he understands her,

358
00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:20,813
and he understands
the passion that she has.

359
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,550
And not only because
it's a reflection of him,

360
00:16:23,616 --> 00:16:26,419
but it's a reflection
of Margaret as well.

361
00:16:26,486 --> 00:16:28,888
She loves like Margaret.
She fights like me.

362
00:16:28,955 --> 00:16:30,890
- [grunts]

363
00:16:35,628 --> 00:16:37,930
- Having Sam Elliot come
on board was just incredible

364
00:16:38,065 --> 00:16:40,167
because I think
he embodies everything

365
00:16:40,233 --> 00:16:42,369
that the character of Shea
should be.

366
00:16:42,435 --> 00:16:44,471
- When I think of Westerns,
I think him and Clint Eastwood.

367
00:16:44,537 --> 00:16:45,938
Like that's just what it is.

368
00:16:46,073 --> 00:16:47,540
- Of course, my wife
gets weak-kneed

369
00:16:47,607 --> 00:16:50,110
every time she's around him.
I don't know a woman yet

370
00:16:50,177 --> 00:16:52,345
that hasn't been weak-kneed
around Sam Elliott.

371
00:16:52,412 --> 00:16:54,247
And I told my mama that I was
working with Sam Elliott.

372
00:16:54,314 --> 00:16:56,349
She's like, "Oh my God, you're
working with Sam Elliott."

373
00:16:56,416 --> 00:16:58,718
- [chuckles]

374
00:16:58,785 --> 00:17:01,921
Shea is on a mission
to get back to Oregon.

375
00:17:01,988 --> 00:17:04,291
Then at the same time,
he has something in him

376
00:17:04,357 --> 00:17:08,128
that wants to help these
other people get there as well.

377
00:17:08,195 --> 00:17:11,098
He knows that
it's rife with hardship.

378
00:17:11,098 --> 00:17:12,932
There's no question
about that.

379
00:17:12,999 --> 00:17:14,667
And a lot of them
aren't gonna make it,

380
00:17:14,734 --> 00:17:16,303
but he's driven to get those

381
00:17:16,369 --> 00:17:20,507
that are tough enough
to survive to Oregon.

382
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:26,846
He is a troubled man
for a lot of different reasons.

383
00:17:26,913 --> 00:17:29,116
First off, he was in the war.

384
00:17:29,149 --> 00:17:31,284
You know, he's suffers
from that.

385
00:17:31,351 --> 00:17:32,652
He loses his family,

386
00:17:32,719 --> 00:17:34,787
and I think that's
the biggest burden

387
00:17:34,854 --> 00:17:38,691
that he carries with him
throughout the show.

388
00:17:38,758 --> 00:17:40,727
You know, Taylor talked to me
about Shea rode

389
00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:42,162
with the Buffalo soldiers,

390
00:17:42,229 --> 00:17:45,265
which was an all-Black group
of soldiers.

391
00:17:45,332 --> 00:17:50,337
Shea is very heavy-handed with
everyone other than Thomas.

392
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:53,640
And...I don't know.

393
00:17:53,706 --> 00:17:55,142
I get very emotional

394
00:17:55,208 --> 00:17:59,412
talking about the relationship
of Shea and Thomas.

395
00:17:59,479 --> 00:18:01,814
They're close.
Theye like brothers.

396
00:18:01,881 --> 00:18:04,217
- Thomas's story
is not unfamiliar

397
00:18:04,284 --> 00:18:05,952
to a lot of Black cowboys
back then.

398
00:18:06,018 --> 00:18:07,554
He's a former slave.

399
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:11,258
At 12 years old,
he went inside the house,

400
00:18:11,324 --> 00:18:14,594
and the slave owner was
passed away, natural causes.

401
00:18:14,661 --> 00:18:16,996
So Thomas just gets on a horse

402
00:18:17,063 --> 00:18:21,168
and just goes off
and figures out life.

403
00:18:23,035 --> 00:18:25,338
All that happened in between
then has helped shaped

404
00:18:25,405 --> 00:18:27,307
who he was, his integrity.

405
00:18:27,374 --> 00:18:30,377
And he met Shea during the war.
He was a soldier.

406
00:18:30,443 --> 00:18:32,879
- There were brothers-in-arms
in the war.

407
00:18:32,945 --> 00:18:35,348
- Began fighting together
in the Civil War.

408
00:18:35,415 --> 00:18:38,285
So they've been fighting
together for some 20 years.

409
00:18:38,351 --> 00:18:40,420
- And that's how the bond
with them, you know,

410
00:18:40,487 --> 00:18:43,190
became so strong.
It's like an 1800s odd couple.

411
00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:45,492
- What in the hell
is a "toilette"?

412
00:18:45,558 --> 00:18:48,695
- It's French for shitter.

413
00:18:48,761 --> 00:18:51,198
- When did you learn French?

414
00:18:51,198 --> 00:18:53,566
- Don't know French.
It's just

415
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:55,101
the French word for shitter.

416
00:18:55,202 --> 00:18:58,004
- Two men who grow old together
trying to survive

417
00:18:58,070 --> 00:19:00,207
and protect each other.

418
00:19:00,207 --> 00:19:04,611
And so, relationships like
that that have so much history,

419
00:19:04,677 --> 00:19:07,314
they don't have
to say too much.

420
00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:11,951
- Thomas, he's a kind person.
He's an honest person.

421
00:19:12,018 --> 00:19:13,420
And he's a very loyal person.

422
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:15,955
To me, he's the humanity
of the show.

423
00:19:16,022 --> 00:19:18,057
He's the soul of the show.

424
00:19:18,124 --> 00:19:21,093
And he's the enforcer
of the show.

425
00:19:21,228 --> 00:19:23,896
So it's not a show where it's,
you know, "Yes, sir, no, sir."

426
00:19:23,963 --> 00:19:26,233
Yes--it's, if you look
at him wrong

427
00:19:26,299 --> 00:19:28,435
or if you cross his moral code,

428
00:19:28,501 --> 00:19:29,736
he's gonna kill you.

429
00:19:29,802 --> 00:19:31,238
Get everything that was hers.

430
00:19:31,271 --> 00:19:35,007
- Nothing was hers.
It was his, and he's a thief.

431
00:19:35,074 --> 00:19:37,043
- Get everything that was hers.

432
00:19:37,109 --> 00:19:40,347
It was like it's a different
Black cowboy take.

433
00:19:40,413 --> 00:19:41,681
And I'm so glad Taylor,

434
00:19:41,748 --> 00:19:45,252
you know, he chose me
to bring that to life.

435
00:19:45,318 --> 00:19:49,622
- Both Sam and LaMonica
are character builders,

436
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:52,859
and they really want
to understand what's motivated

437
00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:55,562
the actions of the character
in the screenplay.

438
00:19:55,628 --> 00:19:57,464
- The show "Lonesome Dove,"

439
00:19:57,530 --> 00:19:59,999
Danny Glover played
the role of Deets.

440
00:20:00,066 --> 00:20:02,735
And Deets, the real-life Deets

441
00:20:02,802 --> 00:20:04,704
on the Goodnight-Loving Trail,

442
00:20:04,771 --> 00:20:06,539
was Bose Ikard.

443
00:20:06,606 --> 00:20:09,542
And I found out he was buried
right there in Weatherford.

444
00:20:09,609 --> 00:20:13,813
So me and a few castmates,
we went to the cemetery,

445
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,716
and it just--it moved me.

446
00:20:16,783 --> 00:20:20,520
And it's, you know,

447
00:20:20,587 --> 00:20:22,989
it's a story I'm very proud
to be a part,

448
00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:25,157
telling, you know,
a story about Black cowboys.

449
00:20:25,224 --> 00:20:26,993
- He goes back to the truth.

450
00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:30,397
The Westerns of post-Civil War

451
00:20:30,463 --> 00:20:34,000
that painted
these matinee idol characters

452
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:35,868
in these false roles

453
00:20:35,935 --> 00:20:39,238
and painted a really inaccurate
picture of the American West.

454
00:20:39,306 --> 00:20:41,274
To tell the story truthfully
and really show

455
00:20:41,341 --> 00:20:44,644
the American West
or a version of it accurately,

456
00:20:44,711 --> 00:20:47,213
then you have to look
at those relationships,

457
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,483
and you have to re-examine
a version

458
00:20:50,550 --> 00:20:52,919
that Hollywood portrayed
that was wrong.

459
00:20:52,985 --> 00:20:56,255
* *

460
00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:00,860
- You know, I think
my favorite moment

461
00:21:00,927 --> 00:21:04,196
is this incredible scene that
we have Billy Bob Thornton

462
00:21:04,331 --> 00:21:07,467
walking down main street
in the middle of the 1800s.

463
00:21:07,534 --> 00:21:09,502
- And I look to the left,
and I see Billy Bob Thornton.

464
00:21:09,569 --> 00:21:12,472
I look a little bit further,
there's Tim McGraw,

465
00:21:12,539 --> 00:21:15,107
Sam Elliott,
and LaMonica Garrett,

466
00:21:15,174 --> 00:21:16,709
and I thought this is
a pretty good group

467
00:21:16,776 --> 00:21:18,345
to walk into a bar with.

468
00:21:18,345 --> 00:21:20,513
- You know, you saw
"Reservoir Dogs" growing up,

469
00:21:20,580 --> 00:21:22,715
you saw "Tombstone."
They all had that walk

470
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:25,217
where it was just these bad
dudes going to find trouble.

471
00:21:25,352 --> 00:21:28,355
So I got to play out
those childhood dreams

472
00:21:28,421 --> 00:21:30,690
of walking down
that dusty road

473
00:21:30,757 --> 00:21:32,359
to a gunfight in the saloon.

474
00:21:32,392 --> 00:21:34,994
And it just happened to be with
all these icons next to me,

475
00:21:35,061 --> 00:21:37,797
but it was...
yeah, it was amazing.

476
00:21:37,864 --> 00:21:40,800
Billy Bob Thornton,
he's this easy-going guy.

477
00:21:40,867 --> 00:21:41,801
He's kinda unassuming.

478
00:21:41,868 --> 00:21:44,404
We get inside the saloon,

479
00:21:44,471 --> 00:21:48,941
and he just turns it on to this
stone-cold killer and sheriff.

480
00:21:49,008 --> 00:21:50,977
- Order this business
on the Trinity.

481
00:21:51,043 --> 00:21:53,446
- So I'm supposed to stop
and have a line with Sam

482
00:21:53,513 --> 00:21:55,415
right before the end
of the scene.

483
00:21:55,482 --> 00:21:58,785
And I got so caught up into
watching Billy Bob perform,

484
00:21:58,851 --> 00:22:01,187
I just walked right past Sam,
just blew right by

485
00:22:01,388 --> 00:22:03,390
and didn't say my line,
walked out the door.

486
00:22:03,423 --> 00:22:06,225
And I looked at Sam and goes,
"Sam, I'm sorry.

487
00:22:06,292 --> 00:22:09,261
I know I'm supposed
to give a line, and I forgot."

488
00:22:09,396 --> 00:22:11,063
And he goes, "I noticed."

489
00:22:11,130 --> 00:22:12,565
- He's a powerful actor,
Billy Bob,

490
00:22:12,632 --> 00:22:14,401
and when he comes in at work,

491
00:22:14,434 --> 00:22:17,404
it's hard to take your eye
off of him.

492
00:22:17,437 --> 00:22:19,972
- Another incredible moment
is this Civil War sequence

493
00:22:20,039 --> 00:22:21,240
that we have.

494
00:22:21,307 --> 00:22:23,009
And out of nowhere,

495
00:22:23,075 --> 00:22:25,011
Tom Hanks just shows up--

496
00:22:25,077 --> 00:22:28,047
full beard, in character,
and a really powerful scene

497
00:22:28,114 --> 00:22:30,417
between him and Tim McGraw.

498
00:22:30,417 --> 00:22:32,251
- It starts with Antietam,

499
00:22:32,318 --> 00:22:34,887
and it starts
with an original picture

500
00:22:34,954 --> 00:22:36,556
from the battleground scene

501
00:22:36,623 --> 00:22:40,026
and morphs out of the original
picture into a live shot.

502
00:22:40,092 --> 00:22:41,594
And everybody's dead.

503
00:22:41,661 --> 00:22:44,096
His whole company
has been wiped out.

504
00:22:45,665 --> 00:22:48,134
- Captain.

505
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,571
- Tom and I have been friends
for such a long time,

506
00:22:51,638 --> 00:22:54,106
but no matter how good
a friend you are,

507
00:22:54,173 --> 00:22:56,843
when you're sitting there in
a scene that's that emotional,

508
00:22:56,909 --> 00:22:58,545
and then you turn,

509
00:22:58,611 --> 00:23:02,449
and you see Tom Hanks walk up
in a Union uniform,

510
00:23:02,515 --> 00:23:05,051
look at you, and say,
"Captain,"

511
00:23:05,117 --> 00:23:06,619
I just fell apart.

512
00:23:06,686 --> 00:23:08,488
And then he sat beside me
as I'm crying,

513
00:23:08,555 --> 00:23:10,022
and he puts his hand
on my shoulder.

514
00:23:10,089 --> 00:23:11,458
Yeah, that's a great scene.

515
00:23:11,524 --> 00:23:14,861
And of course, Tom,
you know, Tom was average.

516
00:23:14,927 --> 00:23:16,463
[laughter]

517
00:23:16,496 --> 00:23:18,731
- When actors like this
are willing to come play

518
00:23:18,798 --> 00:23:20,633
for a day or two,
of course now you're working

519
00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:23,470
with some of the greatest
actors who've ever worked.

520
00:23:23,503 --> 00:23:25,037
It's just a privilege.

521
00:23:25,104 --> 00:23:28,608
[soldiers shouting]

522
00:23:28,675 --> 00:23:30,342
- I've done a lot of shows,

523
00:23:30,477 --> 00:23:31,911
and I've never seen
anything this big.

524
00:23:31,978 --> 00:23:34,914
We did scenes in Fort Worth
with hundreds of extras,

525
00:23:34,981 --> 00:23:37,484
businessmen going to work
in the 1800s,

526
00:23:37,550 --> 00:23:39,085
two bar guys having fight.

527
00:23:39,151 --> 00:23:41,788
We have huge scenes out in
sort of wild open with bandits.

528
00:23:41,854 --> 00:23:43,490
We have everything
that you can imagine.

529
00:23:43,490 --> 00:23:45,391
- We have 30-something wagons,

530
00:23:45,492 --> 00:23:47,760
and it takes two to four
horses to pull them.

531
00:23:47,827 --> 00:23:50,730
And I'm running from snow
and rain and schedule

532
00:23:50,797 --> 00:23:52,164
and everything else.

533
00:23:52,231 --> 00:23:53,933
- It's epic.
There's no question about it.

534
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,902
I'm not gonna compare it
to anything

535
00:23:55,968 --> 00:23:58,037
because I've never done
anything like this.

536
00:23:58,104 --> 00:24:01,708
* *

537
00:24:01,774 --> 00:24:04,176
- "Yellowstone,"
at any given time,

538
00:24:04,243 --> 00:24:07,714
we might have 40 horses on set.
On this, at any given time,

539
00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:10,316
we have 180,
and we have a cattle herd.

540
00:24:10,382 --> 00:24:15,822
Ironically, we are having to
actually have a trail drive

541
00:24:15,888 --> 00:24:19,125
in order to film a trail drive.
And it's a challenge.

542
00:24:19,191 --> 00:24:21,561
- We have goats.
We have chickens.

543
00:24:21,628 --> 00:24:26,332
We have 60 wranglers, cowboys
just working the horses

544
00:24:26,398 --> 00:24:28,034
to make sure everyone is safe.

545
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:31,804
We have 80 trucks and drivers
to move the whole company.

546
00:24:31,871 --> 00:24:33,740
I mean, this is bigger
than a Beyoncé tour.

547
00:24:33,806 --> 00:24:36,943
This is "Game of Thrones"
on the Prairie.

548
00:24:37,009 --> 00:24:40,580
- We began the shooting
in Texas in August.

549
00:24:40,647 --> 00:24:43,950
So it was about 104,
103 degrees.

550
00:24:44,016 --> 00:24:47,887
There was sweat in places
I didn't know sweat can be.

551
00:24:47,954 --> 00:24:49,288
- I got wool on,

552
00:24:49,355 --> 00:24:52,324
and wool is not Texas-friendly
in the summertime.

553
00:24:52,391 --> 00:24:55,194
On top of the bandolier,
the belt, the guns,

554
00:24:55,261 --> 00:24:56,896
like, ten-pound leather chaps,

555
00:24:56,963 --> 00:24:59,566
like,
everything is weighed down.

556
00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:02,368
And my horse,
he looks like a utility camp.

557
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:05,171
- First, we were in 98-degree
sweating, hot weather.

558
00:25:05,237 --> 00:25:07,774
And three weeks later, we were
in ten-degree weather.

559
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,009
You know, we were out there
last week in Montana

560
00:25:10,076 --> 00:25:12,311
with snowcap mountains
in the middle of a field.

561
00:25:12,378 --> 00:25:14,847
- Me, Sam, and Tim are on top
of our horses on the mountain.

562
00:25:14,914 --> 00:25:17,149
And there was like a blizzard
that came through,

563
00:25:17,216 --> 00:25:18,585
like you couldn't see
your hand in front of you.

564
00:25:18,618 --> 00:25:20,186
The wind was blowing.

565
00:25:20,252 --> 00:25:22,922
- There've been times
where I was so cold out here,

566
00:25:22,989 --> 00:25:25,592
I didn't think I could
tough it out too long.

567
00:25:25,625 --> 00:25:27,126
And the thing that
brought me out of it

568
00:25:27,193 --> 00:25:29,896
and continues to bring me out
of it is just looking around

569
00:25:29,962 --> 00:25:32,164
and seeing these mountain
ranges everywhere,

570
00:25:32,231 --> 00:25:33,766
and you think, my God,

571
00:25:33,833 --> 00:25:36,736
how lucky we are to be here
number one, but number two,

572
00:25:36,803 --> 00:25:39,872
how lucky we are
to be here making a film.

573
00:25:39,939 --> 00:25:42,709
- You never really know
what you're gonna get

574
00:25:42,775 --> 00:25:44,644
from Mother Earth that day.

575
00:25:44,711 --> 00:25:46,646
And that adds to
the grand scheme

576
00:25:46,713 --> 00:25:48,214
and the look of the show,

577
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,618
but it also adds to the thrill
as an actor

578
00:25:51,618 --> 00:25:55,287
to get to experience
such spontaneity

579
00:25:55,354 --> 00:25:57,356
on set every single day.

580
00:25:57,423 --> 00:26:00,092
- The methodology of Taylor
is to make everything

581
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:04,864
look like a ten-hour movie.
It's so big and so beautiful,

582
00:26:04,931 --> 00:26:07,667
but there's a word
that is so important to him,

583
00:26:07,734 --> 00:26:09,268
and that is "authenticity."

584
00:26:09,335 --> 00:26:11,904
- I'm interested in the truth,
even though it's fiction--

585
00:26:11,971 --> 00:26:14,406
as accurately
retelling an event

586
00:26:14,473 --> 00:26:16,375
or a world as I possibly can.

587
00:26:16,442 --> 00:26:18,544
Everything is
historically accurate.

588
00:26:18,645 --> 00:26:20,279
Every building,
every structure,

589
00:26:20,346 --> 00:26:22,181
every wagon, everything.

590
00:26:22,248 --> 00:26:24,416
- We strive to do everything
period correct.

591
00:26:24,483 --> 00:26:27,654
We spent a lot of time
in research together,

592
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:28,921
all the information we can.

593
00:26:28,988 --> 00:26:32,224
So when the camera's tight
on a cast member,

594
00:26:32,291 --> 00:26:34,661
that he has the right equipment
on his horse

595
00:26:34,694 --> 00:26:36,195
for the time period.

596
00:26:36,262 --> 00:26:40,399
- I went to school for film
and watched countless movies,

597
00:26:40,466 --> 00:26:42,468
countless westerns
where everything was wrong.

598
00:26:42,534 --> 00:26:45,672
And you know, just me being
an indigenous person,

599
00:26:45,672 --> 00:26:49,241
I would feel kind of ticked off
if I saw,

600
00:26:49,308 --> 00:26:51,510
you know, that we weren't
accurately portrayed.

601
00:26:51,577 --> 00:26:53,780
So when it comes
to finding the props,

602
00:26:53,846 --> 00:26:57,216
I am trying to do my absolute
best on sourcing them from,

603
00:26:57,283 --> 00:27:00,452
you know, the proper places
and making sure that they are,

604
00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:03,022
in fact, you know,
if it's a Lakota bow case

605
00:27:03,089 --> 00:27:05,291
that it's
an actual Lakota bow case.

606
00:27:05,357 --> 00:27:08,427
- The language that
the Native Americans speak

607
00:27:08,494 --> 00:27:09,929
has to be authentic.

608
00:27:09,996 --> 00:27:13,165
The beads that they wear
have to be authentic.

609
00:27:13,232 --> 00:27:16,969
The wagons, the horse breeds,
the cattle breeds.

610
00:27:17,036 --> 00:27:21,607
And I think these days
audiences respect it,

611
00:27:21,708 --> 00:27:24,443
actors feel it.

612
00:27:24,510 --> 00:27:28,214
- After you've done all your
work on the text and character,

613
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,549
you finally get
to put on the clothes.

614
00:27:30,616 --> 00:27:34,286
And I think that's kind of
your superhero cape in a way.

615
00:27:34,353 --> 00:27:36,823
- If you look at the costumes,
we made them all.

616
00:27:36,889 --> 00:27:38,457
We didn't call
some costume house

617
00:27:38,524 --> 00:27:39,892
and get a bunch of "Little
House on the Prairie" stuff.

618
00:27:39,959 --> 00:27:42,995
Every dress, every suit,
every jacket,

619
00:27:43,062 --> 00:27:46,766
everything was custom-made
by Janie and her team.

620
00:27:46,833 --> 00:27:49,335
- I am very familiar
with this period

621
00:27:49,401 --> 00:27:52,571
because I designed "Deadwood,"
the series,

622
00:27:52,638 --> 00:27:55,074
which was living in 1876.

623
00:27:55,141 --> 00:27:58,911
And then, I designed the movie,
which was in 1886,

624
00:27:58,978 --> 00:28:01,313
but no two shows are alike.

625
00:28:01,380 --> 00:28:04,350
"1883" is the West.

626
00:28:04,416 --> 00:28:06,218
And during this time,
there were

627
00:28:06,285 --> 00:28:08,554
a lot of cowboys in Texas.

628
00:28:08,620 --> 00:28:09,822
And that was one of the aspects

629
00:28:09,889 --> 00:28:12,792
that I love
doing the research for.

630
00:28:12,859 --> 00:28:16,228
- When she put this coat on me
the first time, I squealed.

631
00:28:16,295 --> 00:28:18,130
Yeah, I'm in love
with my costume.

632
00:28:18,197 --> 00:28:19,465
- I love the costumes,

633
00:28:19,531 --> 00:28:22,168
and the attention to detail
is microscopic.

634
00:28:22,234 --> 00:28:24,370
You see these people,
and then suddenly,

635
00:28:24,436 --> 00:28:28,540
wow, we're really here.
It's like a time machine.

636
00:28:28,607 --> 00:28:31,778
- This was a great opportunity
to do a period piece.

637
00:28:31,778 --> 00:28:34,080
And period makeup
is a lot of fun.

638
00:28:34,146 --> 00:28:35,915
You look at a lot
of the old Westerns,

639
00:28:35,982 --> 00:28:37,149
and you see makeup on them.

640
00:28:37,216 --> 00:28:38,851
Taylor definitely
wanted this raw.

641
00:28:38,918 --> 00:28:42,288
He said, "I want dirty sweaty."

642
00:28:42,354 --> 00:28:45,224
There is some makeup
that is being applied to them.

643
00:28:45,291 --> 00:28:46,358
The trick with it
is to make it look

644
00:28:46,425 --> 00:28:48,327
like they're not
wearing any makeup.

645
00:28:48,394 --> 00:28:50,830
So the start of the show,
they're on a train.

646
00:28:50,897 --> 00:28:53,065
And that's the only time
that they're kind of have a,

647
00:28:53,132 --> 00:28:54,801
what I'd call a beauty look
about them.

648
00:28:54,834 --> 00:28:57,837
But once they start getting out
onto the wagon train,

649
00:28:57,904 --> 00:29:00,439
we're gonna try to
keep them dirty looking.

650
00:29:00,506 --> 00:29:02,708
- These departments,
from our production designer

651
00:29:02,809 --> 00:29:06,112
to our prop master, everybody,
they had to come together

652
00:29:06,178 --> 00:29:09,081
and build a world
in a very short period of time.

653
00:29:09,148 --> 00:29:11,984
Nothing existed.
We created it all.

654
00:29:12,051 --> 00:29:14,653
- We wanted to avoid
the clichés

655
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,990
and do things that are
a little bit unusual

656
00:29:18,057 --> 00:29:21,360
that you haven't seen in
so many westerns.

657
00:29:21,427 --> 00:29:22,862
- Cary White,
our production designer,

658
00:29:22,929 --> 00:29:24,230
this is his wheelhouse.

659
00:29:24,296 --> 00:29:27,834
And he was able to come up
with some really,

660
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:30,169
really smart ideas.

661
00:29:30,236 --> 00:29:35,842
- The building right next to us
was built in 1939, 1940.

662
00:29:35,842 --> 00:29:39,145
We constructed
a complete façade around it

663
00:29:39,211 --> 00:29:43,749
and turned it into
a real building of 1883.

664
00:29:43,850 --> 00:29:47,954
But also put Styrofoam cornices
on a lot of these buildings

665
00:29:48,020 --> 00:29:50,089
up on the top of them

666
00:29:50,156 --> 00:29:52,992
that gives them
a much more Victorian look.

667
00:29:53,059 --> 00:29:54,426
- And the whole thing
tied together

668
00:29:54,493 --> 00:29:57,529
when we put the dirt in.
It really just came alive.

669
00:29:57,596 --> 00:29:59,866
- They brought in layers
and layers and layers of dirt.

670
00:29:59,899 --> 00:30:03,535
And it's all compacted and then
top dressed appropriately

671
00:30:03,602 --> 00:30:06,138
to make it all safe for
the animals that we have here.

672
00:30:06,205 --> 00:30:09,475
- I think we went
a solid two months prep

673
00:30:09,541 --> 00:30:12,444
to shoot for four days
on house half-acre.

674
00:30:12,511 --> 00:30:13,846
- I mean, the stuff
that they've done

675
00:30:13,913 --> 00:30:15,781
is just so incredibly epic.

676
00:30:15,848 --> 00:30:19,385
I like to get on set early and
walk around some of these sets

677
00:30:19,451 --> 00:30:21,888
just to put yourself
in that world.

678
00:30:21,954 --> 00:30:25,157
So it makes it easy to find
the emotion in the scene.

679
00:30:25,224 --> 00:30:27,059
- This show
would not be possible

680
00:30:27,126 --> 00:30:29,261
without everyone
that you don't see.

681
00:30:29,328 --> 00:30:31,730
It is not a walk in the park.

682
00:30:31,797 --> 00:30:37,136
It is hard work, and it's...

683
00:30:37,203 --> 00:30:38,637
fucking awesome.

684
00:30:38,704 --> 00:30:40,239
Can I say that?

685
00:30:40,306 --> 00:30:41,740
- Sure can.
- I just did.

686
00:30:48,114 --> 00:30:50,582
- I don't rehearse
with my actors.

687
00:30:50,649 --> 00:30:54,386
There's no way for me to inform
them what this way of life is.

688
00:30:54,453 --> 00:30:55,821
You just have to do it.

689
00:30:55,888 --> 00:30:58,490
I just take them out
and put them to work.

690
00:30:58,557 --> 00:30:59,892
The purpose of cowboy camp

691
00:30:59,959 --> 00:31:02,694
is to get actors comfortable
enough on the horses

692
00:31:02,761 --> 00:31:04,796
that they weren't nervous
when they were riding.

693
00:31:06,332 --> 00:31:08,600
The better I can make them
as a rider,

694
00:31:08,667 --> 00:31:11,203
the more they understand
the thing they're acting out,

695
00:31:11,270 --> 00:31:12,939
the better the performances,

696
00:31:12,972 --> 00:31:15,942
the more authentic the scenes
look, then it looks real.

697
00:31:15,942 --> 00:31:18,544
- Cowboy camp is the actors
get here about 8:00,

698
00:31:18,610 --> 00:31:20,012
and then we start
just exposing them

699
00:31:20,079 --> 00:31:23,515
to real-life situations
in 1883.

700
00:31:25,351 --> 00:31:27,253
- Cowboy camp was probably

701
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:28,354
the most helpful thing
in the world.

702
00:31:28,420 --> 00:31:30,089
Good morning, guys.
- Morning.

703
00:31:30,156 --> 00:31:31,590
- How's everybody doing?

704
00:31:31,657 --> 00:31:33,625
And we all got to spend
a couple of weeks together,

705
00:31:33,692 --> 00:31:36,762
just riding horses and roping
and herding cattle.

706
00:31:36,828 --> 00:31:38,830
- And here comes
Taylor walking up like

707
00:31:38,965 --> 00:31:40,632
he's the first one out there.

708
00:31:40,699 --> 00:31:42,734
And he'll never ask you
to do anything

709
00:31:42,801 --> 00:31:46,338
that he doesn't do
as far as being on a horse.

710
00:31:47,706 --> 00:31:50,042
- We take them down
and have them work cattle.

711
00:31:50,109 --> 00:31:52,544
We have them part them out
and sort them.

712
00:31:52,611 --> 00:31:55,814
- Roping, horseback riding,

713
00:31:55,881 --> 00:31:58,150
herding cows.

714
00:31:58,217 --> 00:32:00,852
- We take them down to the pond
and have them swim horses

715
00:32:00,987 --> 00:32:02,989
so we can prepare them
for the river crossings

716
00:32:02,989 --> 00:32:04,656
that are coming up
in the script.

717
00:32:04,723 --> 00:32:06,625
- Most of us learned
how to drive wagons,

718
00:32:06,692 --> 00:32:08,494
which is dangerous, by the way.

719
00:32:09,996 --> 00:32:13,099
- Climbing up rocks,
going through lakes and rivers,

720
00:32:13,165 --> 00:32:16,368
and steering cattle.

721
00:32:16,435 --> 00:32:18,270
- I'm learning how
to ride a horse,

722
00:32:18,337 --> 00:32:22,008
and I'm swinging
the rope around.

723
00:32:23,609 --> 00:32:27,513
- We're shooting guns back
to riding horses, lassoing.

724
00:32:28,347 --> 00:32:31,750
- We just played little games
where you put, for example,

725
00:32:31,817 --> 00:32:33,219
an egg on a spoon

726
00:32:33,285 --> 00:32:35,721
and have to ride
straight back and forth.

727
00:32:35,787 --> 00:32:38,357
And whoever does it
the fastest wins.

728
00:32:38,424 --> 00:32:39,925
So it was really fun.

729
00:32:40,026 --> 00:32:41,460
- You had to carry the egg
on a spoon,

730
00:32:41,527 --> 00:32:43,795
but I dropped it every time.

731
00:32:43,862 --> 00:32:45,831
- So some people were getting
a little crafty,

732
00:32:45,897 --> 00:32:47,599
and when they get
further away from us,

733
00:32:47,666 --> 00:32:50,036
their thumb would ease
over the eggs,

734
00:32:50,036 --> 00:32:53,105
so you really can't see
what's going on and like,

735
00:32:53,172 --> 00:32:55,541
wait a minute, like you got
glue on that or something?

736
00:32:55,607 --> 00:32:57,576
Like, you know,
what's going on?

737
00:32:57,643 --> 00:32:59,745
- I'd heard Taylor cheated
when he does it.

738
00:32:59,811 --> 00:33:01,813
That he puts his thumb
on the egg.

739
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,050
I'm not saying
that that's true.

740
00:33:04,116 --> 00:33:06,585
I'm just saying that I've heard
that Taylor cheated.

741
00:33:06,652 --> 00:33:10,322
- There's no proof of cheating,

742
00:33:10,389 --> 00:33:11,857
but it is suspected.

743
00:33:11,923 --> 00:33:13,792
- You know, everyone was
very competitive,

744
00:33:13,859 --> 00:33:18,364
but in a supportive way
to somewhat degree.

745
00:33:23,169 --> 00:33:25,604
Everything that we have done,
we've learned how to do it

746
00:33:25,671 --> 00:33:28,207
properly
by the best of the best.

747
00:33:28,274 --> 00:33:30,676
- For all the talent,
they're trying to get them

748
00:33:30,742 --> 00:33:33,445
comfortable
with driving and riding.

749
00:33:33,512 --> 00:33:34,913
So then, when they get
on camera,

750
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:37,116
it becomes
second nature to them.

751
00:33:37,183 --> 00:33:40,286
Everyone will remember
their lines and not panic,

752
00:33:40,352 --> 00:33:42,088
so they look the part.

753
00:33:42,154 --> 00:33:43,622
They feel the part.

754
00:33:43,689 --> 00:33:46,658
They can be the cowboy.

755
00:33:46,725 --> 00:33:48,927
- A lot of what we're doing now
is day in and day out,

756
00:33:48,994 --> 00:33:50,862
so this becomes second nature.

757
00:33:50,929 --> 00:33:53,432
So when we're going
through the script,

758
00:33:53,499 --> 00:33:54,833
that's what you could focus on

759
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:57,269
and not have to worry about
where my hands are,

760
00:33:57,336 --> 00:33:58,604
and where's the gun?

761
00:33:58,670 --> 00:34:00,472
- You must know how to do it
the right way.

762
00:34:00,539 --> 00:34:03,509
Otherwise, it's just
kind of watered down,

763
00:34:03,575 --> 00:34:05,544
and it just feels wrong.

764
00:34:07,113 --> 00:34:08,714
- Cowboy camp gets you ready
for the show.

765
00:34:08,780 --> 00:34:10,716
You're not showing up

766
00:34:10,782 --> 00:34:11,817
and putting some dirt
and makeup on.

767
00:34:11,883 --> 00:34:13,285
Before you ever do that,

768
00:34:13,352 --> 00:34:16,122
you're falling off of a horse.
Your back is hurting.

769
00:34:17,423 --> 00:34:19,491
- As a cowboy in 1883,

770
00:34:19,558 --> 00:34:21,026
you didn't have
nice cushiony saddles.

771
00:34:21,127 --> 00:34:24,296
You know, you didn't have
all the fancy modern equipment

772
00:34:24,363 --> 00:34:25,764
that you have today.

773
00:34:25,831 --> 00:34:28,167
Oh, it's bare-bones.
It's bare knuckles.

774
00:34:28,234 --> 00:34:31,970
- This is my first time
on an 1880s saddle.

775
00:34:32,037 --> 00:34:34,306
- A hundred years ago,
if you went across country

776
00:34:34,373 --> 00:34:36,342
from New York to California,

777
00:34:36,408 --> 00:34:37,876
this is the way you went.

778
00:34:37,943 --> 00:34:40,146
This is rougher than heck.

779
00:34:40,212 --> 00:34:42,548
- I'll tell you it's
a lot harder than it looks.

780
00:34:42,614 --> 00:34:45,351
I mean, you see those wagon
drivers kind of leaning over.

781
00:34:45,417 --> 00:34:48,654
I mean, oh man,
it did a number on your back.

782
00:34:50,156 --> 00:34:52,491
- There's an experience
of time.

783
00:34:52,558 --> 00:34:53,825
You know,
you realize old people

784
00:34:53,892 --> 00:34:56,162
traveled like this 5,000 miles,

785
00:34:56,228 --> 00:34:59,998
and you understand
what a journey like this means.

786
00:35:00,065 --> 00:35:03,068
- This training creates
an authentic cowboy

787
00:35:03,169 --> 00:35:05,637
because you're--you know,
the blisters are real.

788
00:35:05,704 --> 00:35:07,206
The cuts are real.

789
00:35:07,273 --> 00:35:10,041
You know, I'm running into
barbed wire fences on my horse.

790
00:35:11,543 --> 00:35:14,813
- I've been to like Hell Week
and camps and football,

791
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,682
and this is
a whole different beast.

792
00:35:16,748 --> 00:35:17,983
- When they get off at night,

793
00:35:18,049 --> 00:35:19,585
they feel like their legs
are melted.

794
00:35:19,651 --> 00:35:21,220
They got cramps
in their thighs.

795
00:35:21,287 --> 00:35:23,222
They got
cramps in their calves.

796
00:35:23,289 --> 00:35:25,857
They go, "My butt's sore."
Yeah, probably is.

797
00:35:25,924 --> 00:35:27,993
You ain't never sat
on a saddle that long.

798
00:35:28,059 --> 00:35:29,928
- They're grinding us
into the ground.

799
00:35:29,995 --> 00:35:31,763
I mean, by the time
we finished riding horses,

800
00:35:31,830 --> 00:35:33,832
I'm like completely
soaked through.

801
00:35:33,899 --> 00:35:35,501
Like, it's kinda gross.

802
00:35:35,567 --> 00:35:39,070
I feel bad for everyone
that has to smell us.

803
00:35:42,574 --> 00:35:45,477
- Cowboy camp was this
incredible bonding experience

804
00:35:45,544 --> 00:35:46,745
between all of the talent.

805
00:35:46,812 --> 00:35:48,079
Everybody gets to
come out there.

806
00:35:48,214 --> 00:35:49,581
They don't know each other.

807
00:35:49,648 --> 00:35:52,318
And they start to sort of work
together and understand

808
00:35:52,384 --> 00:35:53,652
what their characters
are gonna be,

809
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:54,953
where are they going,

810
00:35:55,020 --> 00:35:58,224
and how hard this
is gonna really be.

811
00:35:58,224 --> 00:36:01,427
- Cowboy camp is extremely
important for teamwork.

812
00:36:01,493 --> 00:36:03,895
We're all trying
to build chemistry as actors.

813
00:36:03,962 --> 00:36:06,465
And there's nothing
more team-oriented

814
00:36:06,532 --> 00:36:09,468
than getting 28 cattle,
I mean, over hills

815
00:36:09,535 --> 00:36:12,238
and through alleyways
for miles and miles.

816
00:36:12,304 --> 00:36:14,940
So if you're not communicating
to your teammates,

817
00:36:15,006 --> 00:36:17,309
then it's not gonna work.

818
00:36:17,376 --> 00:36:19,478
- The only way to survive
at that time

819
00:36:19,545 --> 00:36:21,313
was to be collaborative,

820
00:36:21,380 --> 00:36:23,849
and people would go out of
their way to help one another

821
00:36:23,915 --> 00:36:25,951
without expecting anything.

822
00:36:26,017 --> 00:36:27,553
Well, it's the only way
that you can survive

823
00:36:27,619 --> 00:36:29,054
in an environment like that.

824
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,257
- You become a group, you know,
'cause we will be

825
00:36:31,323 --> 00:36:34,426
on this journey
for half a year

826
00:36:34,493 --> 00:36:36,262
and go through hell.

827
00:36:41,867 --> 00:36:43,068
- We're all
doing this together.

828
00:36:43,134 --> 00:36:44,770
So we're all dedicated to it.

829
00:36:44,836 --> 00:36:48,173
And that's been extraordinary
to watch.

830
00:36:48,274 --> 00:36:49,975
- It's about to be a family.

831
00:36:50,041 --> 00:36:51,910
It's about to be all of us
against the world.

832
00:36:51,977 --> 00:36:54,112
So against nature, literally.

833
00:36:54,179 --> 00:36:55,547
So we all have
to trust each other.

834
00:36:55,614 --> 00:36:57,916
We have to, you know,
hold each other accountable

835
00:36:57,983 --> 00:36:59,385
and just being
out here period,

836
00:36:59,451 --> 00:37:01,287
being on the ranch together
and bonding,

837
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,523
and like--it's great for what
we're about to encounter.

838
00:37:11,930 --> 00:37:13,699
- From
a production standpoint,

839
00:37:13,765 --> 00:37:17,002
I've never seen
so many different departments

840
00:37:17,068 --> 00:37:20,306
have to coordinate
so many different details.

841
00:37:20,372 --> 00:37:22,408
- I have never worked on
a company this big in my life.

842
00:37:22,474 --> 00:37:24,610
- Then you got cattle that,
you know,

843
00:37:24,676 --> 00:37:26,177
one day they might be like,

844
00:37:26,312 --> 00:37:27,879
we don't feel like doing
what you tell us to do today.

845
00:37:27,946 --> 00:37:30,316
And they're running
in 50 different directions.

846
00:37:30,349 --> 00:37:32,318
- I think
it's borderline miraculous

847
00:37:32,384 --> 00:37:34,586
that the show has come together

848
00:37:34,653 --> 00:37:39,090
because it's taken a lot
of people and a lot of work.

849
00:37:39,157 --> 00:37:41,427
And you know, it's just
impressive what this team

850
00:37:41,493 --> 00:37:42,661
has been able to do.

851
00:37:42,728 --> 00:37:44,763
- This is unique
and very special.

852
00:37:44,830 --> 00:37:47,399
And the production
scale is huge.

853
00:37:47,466 --> 00:37:51,236
For me, I don't feel it because
it still feels so personal.

854
00:37:51,337 --> 00:37:53,238
- Taylor creates
such an incredible world

855
00:37:53,339 --> 00:37:56,575
with his writing that
it's so easy to get lost in it.

856
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,215
You got it.
You got him, son.

857
00:38:04,350 --> 00:38:07,786
- My most favorite scene is

858
00:38:07,853 --> 00:38:09,821
a scene with Tim.

859
00:38:09,888 --> 00:38:12,358
I had to hunt with my dad,

860
00:38:12,358 --> 00:38:16,695
and it was blood
from the deer.

861
00:38:16,762 --> 00:38:19,898
- It's your first kill,
so I got to blood you.

862
00:38:19,965 --> 00:38:22,868
To shoot a deer and do
the whole blooding situation

863
00:38:22,934 --> 00:38:26,372
and explain to him
why we did it and what it means

864
00:38:26,372 --> 00:38:28,173
and how we have to
thank the animal

865
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,676
for giving us
sustenance in life...

866
00:38:30,742 --> 00:38:35,180
To be able to do
that was pretty special for me.

867
00:38:35,246 --> 00:38:39,117
- It felt cool.

868
00:38:39,184 --> 00:38:41,387
It felt really cool.

869
00:38:41,387 --> 00:38:43,254
- And you can see
the similarities

870
00:38:43,389 --> 00:38:44,523
with "Yellowstone."

871
00:38:44,590 --> 00:38:46,124
There are
certainly similarities

872
00:38:46,191 --> 00:38:48,059
to John Dutton and James,

873
00:38:48,126 --> 00:38:50,562
and you can see the tradition
that started it.

874
00:38:50,629 --> 00:38:52,531
- I think absolutely fans
will find Easter eggs through

875
00:38:52,598 --> 00:38:54,099
this whole thing,
and I'm excited.

876
00:38:54,165 --> 00:38:55,601
And I think it'll be
a fun journey for people

877
00:38:55,667 --> 00:38:56,902
to pick them out.

878
00:38:56,968 --> 00:38:59,405
- Well, I would ask you,
was there ever a time

879
00:38:59,471 --> 00:39:03,274
that you went out on Easter
and found only one Easter egg?

880
00:39:04,910 --> 00:39:06,912
- Look, I think the journey
we're about to go on

881
00:39:06,978 --> 00:39:09,214
in the rest of the episodes
is pretty magical, right?

882
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:10,749
We've just gotten started.

883
00:39:10,816 --> 00:39:13,218
- I'm thrilled for people
to see Elsa's journey

884
00:39:13,284 --> 00:39:15,921
because it's quite
a dramatic one.

885
00:39:15,987 --> 00:39:19,425
It's not what you would
expect whatsoever.

886
00:39:19,458 --> 00:39:21,560
- I think all of us are pushed

887
00:39:21,627 --> 00:39:26,264
to what we think
will be our limit.

888
00:39:26,331 --> 00:39:29,968
- We're just on the trail,

889
00:39:30,035 --> 00:39:32,170
and we'll see who survives.

890
00:39:32,237 --> 00:39:37,809
- Every episode brings a new
level of excitement and danger,

891
00:39:37,876 --> 00:39:39,445
and unpredictability.

892
00:39:39,511 --> 00:39:42,347
So just find
a huge box of tissues,

893
00:39:42,448 --> 00:39:43,682
nice bucket of popcorn,

894
00:39:43,749 --> 00:39:47,886
the biggest TV you can find,
and enjoy.

895
00:39:47,953 --> 00:39:51,156
- I could barely get through it
without just falling apart.

896
00:39:51,222 --> 00:39:54,626
I couldn't do it.
I'm literally snot crying.

897
00:39:54,693 --> 00:39:56,161
- I feel that the audience
is going to get

898
00:39:56,227 --> 00:39:57,696
very connected
to these characters,

899
00:39:57,763 --> 00:40:01,132
and heartbreak is coming,
as you would imagine.

900
00:40:01,199 --> 00:40:03,368
And some catharsis is coming,

901
00:40:03,435 --> 00:40:05,471
and some beauty's coming,

902
00:40:05,537 --> 00:40:07,873
and you know, I can't say
much more than that.
