00:00:05,534 --> 00:00:08,534
The Bermuda Triangle covers approximately

2
00:00:08,635 --> 00:00:12,339
500,000 square miles in the Atlantic Ocean,

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,375
and many believe that
over the past hundred years

4
00:00:16,477 --> 00:00:18,077
the triangle is responsible for

5
00:00:18,178 --> 00:00:20,780
a high number of unexplained disappearances

6
00:00:20,881 --> 00:00:26,953
reportedly claiming dozens of planes, ships

7
00:00:27,053 --> 00:00:28,354
and over 1,000 lives.

8
00:00:28,455 --> 00:00:34,326
Among which were a sortie
of navy course air fighters.

9
00:00:34,427 --> 00:00:36,161
They took off...

10
00:00:37,230 --> 00:00:38,797
and they disappeared.

11
00:00:38,898 --> 00:00:41,233
No radio contact.

12
00:00:41,334 --> 00:00:43,235
No wreckage.

13
00:00:44,471 --> 00:00:46,372
No explanation.

<i>Shit. That's my... Hold on.</i>

17
00:00:56,682 --> 00:00:58,717
<i>It's okay, baby. Shh.</i>

18
00:00:58,818 --> 00:01:01,386
<i>Can you make the formula?
I'm going to be home in...</i>

<i>Daddy!</i>

<i>Where are you?</i>

28
00:01:21,873 --> 00:01:24,174
<i>He was right in the car
seat. Sam, where are you?!</i>

29
00:01:24,275 --> 00:01:25,543
<i>Sam!</i>

30
00:01:25,644 --> 00:01:26,911
<i>Sam! Where is he?</i>

31

32

00:01:30,515 --> 00:01:32,783

<i>Woman: Iran, 1.47 million.</i>

<i>Germany, 1.71 million.</i>

<i>The Leftovers is the
story of an amazing event</i>

39
00:01:44,395 --> 00:01:45,828
that occurs and changes the world.

40
00:01:45,930 --> 00:01:48,065
There is something called
the sudden departure

41
00:01:48,166 --> 00:01:52,502
where 2% of the world's population
very randomly evaporates.

42
00:01:52,603 --> 00:01:54,203
Man: That doesn't sound like a lot,

43
00:01:54,304 --> 00:01:56,305
but on a global scale that's, you know,

44
00:01:56,406 --> 00:01:58,174
in the hundreds of millions of people.

45
00:01:58,275 --> 00:02:00,977
There's nothing connecting
the people that disappeared.

46
00:02:01,078 --> 00:02:03,980
They were all different ages, races,

47
00:02:04,081 --> 00:02:05,582
economic backgrounds.

48
00:02:05,683 --> 00:02:07,050
Nothing unified.

49
00:02:07,150 --> 00:02:08,517
We pick up three years later,

50
00:02:08,619 --> 00:02:10,219
and the world has just gotten weird.

51
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,155
The thing about the three year
gap and picking up the story later

52
00:02:13,256 --> 00:02:16,692
is people have absorbed this blow
and are really trying to figure out

53
00:02:16,793 --> 00:02:18,294
how do we go on from here.

54
00:02:18,395 --> 00:02:20,429
Man, on TV: And now, for those who want to,

55
00:02:20,530 --> 00:02:22,931
let us pray for mercy and forgiveness,

56
00:02:23,032 --> 00:02:25,067
and return of those who have left us.

57
00:02:25,168 --> 00:02:30,138
The story concentrates on a small
New York suburb of Mapleton, New York

58
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:33,274
where we have lost 100 people.

59
00:02:33,375 --> 00:02:34,509
Not bad people.

60
00:02:34,611 --> 00:02:38,013
Children, families...

61
00:02:38,114 --> 00:02:39,314
uh, babies.

62
00:02:39,415 --> 00:02:40,749
Gone.

63
00:02:40,850 --> 00:02:44,452
Our story focuses not on
the people who have gone,

64
00:02:44,553 --> 00:02:46,221
but the people who remain.

65
00:02:46,322 --> 00:02:48,889
We are watching the story of one family

66
00:02:48,991 --> 00:02:51,259
and that family is led by
a guy name Kevin Garvey.

67
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,094
He's the chief of police in this town.

68
00:02:53,195 --> 00:02:56,097
One of the things that I
actually loved about the character

69
00:02:56,198 --> 00:02:59,333
is that he basically is getting
pulled from several different sides.

70
00:02:59,434 --> 00:03:01,669
From his family, from his job.

71
00:03:02,804 --> 00:03:05,139
His son, who is a college age son,

72
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,543
is wandering the country and completely
and totally out of touch with Kevin.

73
00:03:09,645 --> 00:03:12,246
He's trying to find
himself in the sense of,

74
00:03:12,347 --> 00:03:14,348
what is it all about?

75
00:03:14,449 --> 00:03:17,584
What is this? Why are we even here?

76
00:03:17,685 --> 00:03:18,918
And does it matter?

77
00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:20,820
Woman: Jill is Kevin Garvey's daughter.

78
00:03:20,921 --> 00:03:24,090
She is 17 and in high school.

79
00:03:24,192 --> 00:03:27,927
Not only is she like a high schooler that
has to deal with all sorts of problems,

80
00:03:28,029 --> 00:03:31,632
but she's dealing with a dad
who's not 100% focused on her

81
00:03:31,732 --> 00:03:33,466
because he is chief of police

82
00:03:33,567 --> 00:03:35,969
and he has a lot of
chaotic things to deal with.

83
00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:37,470
Lindelof: Kevin is basically just

84
00:03:37,571 --> 00:03:39,739
trying to put one foot
in front of the other.

85
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,843
Do his job in a world
that may be crumbling.

86
00:03:43,944 --> 00:03:45,278
<i>Where were you?</i>

87
00:03:45,379 --> 00:03:48,014
<i>The departure. When it
happened where were you?</i>

88
00:03:48,115 --> 00:03:49,748
<i>Cleaning out a gutter.</i>

89
00:03:51,285 --> 00:03:52,718
<i>Where were you?</i>

90
00:03:52,819 --> 00:03:54,353
<i>At the laundry mat.</i>

91
00:03:55,455 --> 00:03:57,056
What could've happened?

92
00:03:57,157 --> 00:04:00,660
I mean, some people conjecture
that it's the biblical rapture,

93
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,461
but we don't know that for sure

94
00:04:02,563 --> 00:04:05,530
and I think one of the things that's
most intriguing about this show

95
00:04:05,532 --> 00:04:06,832
is that it's so ambiguous.

96
00:04:06,933 --> 00:04:09,334
Scientists are trying to
find a scientific explanation.

97
00:04:09,435 --> 00:04:12,104
Everyone's trying to
understand what this event was.

98
00:04:12,205 --> 00:04:13,906
In my early meetings with Damon,

99
00:04:14,007 --> 00:04:15,941
of course that was my first question
after reading the script was,

100
00:04:16,042 --> 00:04:17,209
what happened to everybody?

101
00:04:17,310 --> 00:04:19,745
And he rightly or wrongly
basically just said,

102
00:04:19,846 --> 00:04:22,447
"I'm interested in
watching people in the show

103
00:04:22,548 --> 00:04:24,216
"not know the answer to that question

104
00:04:24,317 --> 00:04:27,085
because the reaction is more
important than the event."

105
00:04:29,355 --> 00:04:31,489
<i>People say you talk about what it wasn't</i>

106
00:04:31,591 --> 00:04:33,091
<i>because you don't know what it was.</i>

107
00:04:33,192 --> 00:04:34,726
<i>I know what it was.</i>

108
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,161
_

109
00:04:36,195 --> 00:04:39,764
The reverend is saying that
this was not the rapture,

110
00:04:39,865 --> 00:04:45,603
which means that he regards it
to be some kind of a natural...

111
00:04:45,704 --> 00:04:46,871
phenomenon.

112
00:04:46,972 --> 00:04:49,306
Belief in the rapture is a particular twist

113
00:04:49,407 --> 00:04:52,910
on Christian belief about
the end of the world.

114
00:04:53,011 --> 00:04:56,480
Essentially it boils down to the
belief that when Christ returns

115
00:04:56,581 --> 00:04:58,616
he's going to actually come back twice.

116
00:04:58,717 --> 00:05:00,651
The next time he comes back,

117
00:05:00,752 --> 00:05:02,819
he's going to take from the earth

118
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,057
all of the Christian believers
to meet him in the clouds,

119
00:05:07,158 --> 00:05:09,560
and then he's going to
go away again with them.

120
00:05:09,661 --> 00:05:11,294
He will then leave the earth running

121
00:05:11,395 --> 00:05:13,764
for another seven years
of terrible tribulation.

122
00:05:13,865 --> 00:05:15,799
There will then be a great
battle called Armageddon,

123
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:18,001
and then he'll reign for a thousand years,

124
00:05:18,102 --> 00:05:19,936
and then he'll come again later.

125
00:05:20,037 --> 00:05:21,671
Whereas the more traditional picture,

126
00:05:21,773 --> 00:05:23,439
I would argue the more biblical picture,

127
00:05:23,540 --> 00:05:25,776
is that when Christ comes back, that's it.

128
00:05:25,877 --> 00:05:27,610
All of the end things happen at once.

129
00:05:27,711 --> 00:05:30,580
When he comes there will be a
trumpet blast that everyone will hear,

130
00:05:30,681 --> 00:05:33,349
and everyone will know it.

131
00:05:33,450 --> 00:05:36,352
<i>Man, on TV: We convene
the council of clerics,</i>

132
00:05:36,453 --> 00:05:37,820
<i>representatives of post world religions,</i>

133
00:05:37,921 --> 00:05:40,590
<i>who were somewhat conflicted
about October 14th,</i>

134
00:05:40,691 --> 00:05:43,793
<i>and were thus unable to
reach any kind of consensus,</i>

135
00:05:43,894 --> 00:05:47,930
<i>which in turn lead us to the
scientific community for answers.</i>

136
00:05:48,031 --> 00:05:49,564
If people are disappearing,

137
00:05:49,666 --> 00:05:52,501
that's something that's happening
right here in our physical universe,

138
00:05:52,602 --> 00:05:55,637
so there must be a
physics explanation for it.

139
00:05:55,738 --> 00:05:58,707
<i>As to the instantaneous</i>

140
00:05:58,809 --> 00:06:01,843
<i>disappearance of 2% of
the world population,</i>

141
00:06:01,944 --> 00:06:07,449
<i>your conclusion as to what
happened to them is, I don't know?</i>

142
00:06:07,550 --> 00:06:10,151
When we think about humans disappearing,

143
00:06:10,252 --> 00:06:12,654
immediately certain questions come to mind.

144
00:06:12,755 --> 00:06:15,023
For example, why just humans?

145
00:06:15,124 --> 00:06:17,091
What is it that's
selecting only for humans?

146
00:06:17,193 --> 00:06:18,626
Humans are made up of matter,

147
00:06:18,727 --> 00:06:21,429
and matter, we were taught in school,

148
00:06:21,530 --> 00:06:23,331
can neither be created nor destroyed.

149
00:06:23,432 --> 00:06:24,933
Now that's not exactly true.

150
00:06:25,034 --> 00:06:26,400
Matter can be converted into energy.

151
00:06:26,501 --> 00:06:29,070
That's how stars produce
their energy in fact,

152
00:06:29,171 --> 00:06:31,072
by converting matter into energy.

153
00:06:31,173 --> 00:06:33,407
That's how atomic bombs
produce their energy,

154
00:06:33,508 --> 00:06:36,811
and that's exactly what E=MC2 means.

155
00:06:36,911 --> 00:06:38,546
That's how a little bit of matter

156
00:06:38,647 --> 00:06:40,448
can be converted into a lot of energy.

157
00:06:40,549 --> 00:06:43,016
So if I have a chunk
of matter, like a human,

158
00:06:43,117 --> 00:06:44,284
that were to suddenly disappear,

159
00:06:44,386 --> 00:06:46,520
if it were converted into energy,

160
00:06:46,621 --> 00:06:48,656
that would be the equivalent
of a nuclear explosion.

161
00:06:48,757 --> 00:06:50,924
So that can't be what's occurring.

162
00:06:53,294 --> 00:06:55,028
Lindelof: When you hear
the premise of the show,

163
00:06:55,129 --> 00:06:56,964
I think the only question
that there is to ask

164
00:06:57,065 --> 00:06:58,365
is the one that you're asking,

165
00:06:58,466 --> 00:07:01,068
what was the sudden departure,
and why these people?

166
00:07:01,169 --> 00:07:02,569
But as the show goes on,

167
00:07:02,670 --> 00:07:06,073
my hope is that you become
less invested in that question

168
00:07:06,174 --> 00:07:09,141
and more invested in the
people that you're watching.

169
00:07:09,243 --> 00:07:13,246
<i>So many of our loved ones
were lost three years ago.</i>

170
00:07:13,347 --> 00:07:16,282
<i>We so wonder where they went</i>

171
00:07:16,384 --> 00:07:17,617
<i>and why.</i>

172
00:07:17,718 --> 00:07:21,354
If 2% of the world's
population did disappear,

173
00:07:21,455 --> 00:07:24,290
that would have a very disorientating

174
00:07:24,391 --> 00:07:27,693
and destructive effect
on the world and society

175
00:07:27,794 --> 00:07:30,662
because it would be something that
people couldn't understand or accept.

176
00:07:30,764 --> 00:07:34,433
I think if you experience
that kind of grief and loss,

177
00:07:34,534 --> 00:07:36,102
which is what the town goes through,

178
00:07:36,203 --> 00:07:38,204
and no explanation,

179
00:07:38,305 --> 00:07:40,972
for some people life changes completely.

180
00:07:41,073 --> 00:07:46,077
In my view you'd have something
like a breakdown of society

181
00:07:46,178 --> 00:07:49,247
because the moral glue
that holds society together

182
00:07:49,348 --> 00:07:51,016
is suddenly disrupted.

183
00:07:51,117 --> 00:07:53,985
Everyone's sort of standing
back and taking a breath

184
00:07:54,086 --> 00:07:55,987
and asking themselves
what they believe in now.

185
00:07:56,088 --> 00:07:59,490
I think it's tempting to think that

186
00:07:59,591 --> 00:08:01,893
after some kind of catastrophic event

187
00:08:01,994 --> 00:08:04,162
people become more religious,

188
00:08:04,263 --> 00:08:06,097
or they become more interested in religion.

189
00:08:06,198 --> 00:08:07,933
I'm not sure that's always the case.

190
00:08:08,034 --> 00:08:11,336
The human capacity for
unbelief and indifference to God

191
00:08:11,437 --> 00:08:13,838
is actually very, very deep-seated.

192
00:08:13,939 --> 00:08:17,074
A lot of characters find
that there's no belief system

193
00:08:17,175 --> 00:08:19,577
that they can rely on to explain this,

194
00:08:19,678 --> 00:08:23,548
and they find themselves gravitating
toward these different cults.

195
00:08:23,649 --> 00:08:25,115
The Guilty Remnant is one.

196
00:08:25,216 --> 00:08:28,753
The Guilty Remnant is a
new cult that is starting,

197
00:08:28,854 --> 00:08:31,989
certainly in Mapleton,
but all over the world.

198
00:08:32,090 --> 00:08:33,290
You're not crazy.

199
00:08:33,391 --> 00:08:36,526
You're all businessmen and
some of you are parents,

200
00:08:36,627 --> 00:08:39,029
and you've just made this choice.

201
00:08:39,130 --> 00:08:42,766
What happened three years
ago was a catastrophe

202
00:08:42,867 --> 00:08:44,301
from which you never recover.

203
00:08:44,402 --> 00:08:46,970
There is no meaning in
the way you used to live.

204
00:08:47,071 --> 00:08:48,237
None whatsoever.

205
00:08:48,339 --> 00:08:50,406
The Guilty Remnant offers relief from that

206
00:08:50,508 --> 00:08:53,042
in acknowledging, yes,
life is over as we knew it.

207
00:08:53,143 --> 00:08:55,044
That is our premise. We know this.

208
00:08:55,145 --> 00:08:57,514
We're not trying to distract you and
say, you know, you'll feel better.

209
00:08:57,615 --> 00:08:59,048
It's this we get it.

210
00:08:59,149 --> 00:09:01,685
We really serve to remind

211
00:09:01,786 --> 00:09:04,620
people that that happened,

212
00:09:04,721 --> 00:09:07,357
so we're going to stand as
living memorials to that.

213
00:09:07,458 --> 00:09:09,459
<i>Where did they come
from? What do they want?</i>

214
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:10,826
<i>You don't even know who they are.</i>

215
00:09:10,927 --> 00:09:12,795
<i>We know who they were.</i>

216
00:09:12,896 --> 00:09:15,564
People are attracted to
cults if they're vulnerable,

217
00:09:15,665 --> 00:09:18,534
and if they are looking
for extraordinary degrees

218
00:09:18,635 --> 00:09:20,569
of certainty and guidance in their lives.

219
00:09:20,670 --> 00:09:23,892
Patti runs the Guilty
Remnant, and is one of

220
00:09:23,918 --> 00:09:25,432
those people who can
take a strong stance,

221
00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:28,744
and lead others to that stance.

222
00:09:28,845 --> 00:09:30,646
She just never lets go.

223
00:09:30,747 --> 00:09:32,515
They follow people around,
and it's very strange,

224
00:09:32,616 --> 00:09:35,550
and we don't really know what
they want or what they're up to.

225
00:09:35,651 --> 00:09:37,486
It's okay.

226
00:09:37,586 --> 00:09:40,655
Just ignore 'em. C'mon.

227
00:09:40,756 --> 00:09:42,690
They're eating food
that's just kind of slop,

228
00:09:42,791 --> 00:09:46,294
that keeps 'em alive but
doesn't particularly taste good.

229
00:09:46,396 --> 00:09:48,530
They're not having hot showers.

230
00:09:48,631 --> 00:09:51,900
You know, all the luxuries
of life go away completely.

231
00:09:52,001 --> 00:09:55,537
People take a vow of silence, and they
dress in white, and they smoke cigarettes.

232
00:09:55,638 --> 00:09:58,840
Most of us don't smoke, because we believe
that we're going to live a long time,

233
00:09:58,941 --> 00:10:01,743
and we don't want to get sick, and
they're just saying, "We don't care".

234
00:10:01,844 --> 00:10:04,746
You'd say why would you
want to be part of that?

235
00:10:04,847 --> 00:10:06,614
You have communal beds,
basically, all on the floor.

236
00:10:06,715 --> 00:10:08,516
There's just peace in the truth,

237
00:10:08,616 --> 00:10:11,718
and from the Remnant's perspective,

238
00:10:11,819 --> 00:10:13,987
the truth is we only have right now.

239
00:10:14,089 --> 00:10:17,658
There's nothing to say that's going
to fix it, so stop with the nonsense.

240
00:10:17,759 --> 00:10:19,527
It's really not about what they stand for

241
00:10:19,627 --> 00:10:23,797
inasmuch as what they're
pulling away against.

242
00:10:23,898 --> 00:10:27,000
<i>It's time. Everybody's
ready to feel better.</i>

243
00:10:27,101 --> 00:10:28,835
Not the Remnant.

244
00:10:28,937 --> 00:10:33,339
I think he hates them. I think
it's a deep deep A-distrust,

245
00:10:33,441 --> 00:10:37,444
but loathing, of this
community that's sprung up.

246
00:10:37,545 --> 00:10:40,380
They've become a real nuisance.

247
00:10:40,481 --> 00:10:43,316
<i>All units on foot. North
side of the park, now.</i>

248
00:10:43,417 --> 00:10:45,285
They provoke aggression and hatred.

249
00:10:45,386 --> 00:10:46,919
Go, go, go!

250
00:10:47,020 --> 00:10:50,423
Fight, now, fight! Fight, fight!

251
00:10:50,524 --> 00:10:53,960
Just our presence and kind
of what we trigger in people,

252
00:10:54,061 --> 00:10:56,262
but we don't fight back, we
just stand to bear witness.

253
00:10:56,363 --> 00:10:58,530
The grief that the town feels,

254
00:10:58,632 --> 00:11:02,167
and the judgment that we are placing upon
them for trying to return to their lives,

255
00:11:02,268 --> 00:11:04,604
that's enraging to people, I would imagine.

256
00:11:09,476 --> 00:11:13,913
This Wayne, he's the real deal?

257
00:11:14,014 --> 00:11:16,248
<i>It's as real as it gets.</i>

258
00:11:16,349 --> 00:11:19,818
People call him Holy Wayne.

259
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:22,287
Now, he doesn't call himself that,
but I think he quite likes it.

260
00:11:22,388 --> 00:11:24,323
<i>Can you help me?</i>

261
00:11:24,424 --> 00:11:28,960
There's a great scene in the first episode
where a senator comes to Holy Wayne,

262
00:11:29,061 --> 00:11:32,263
and we know that the
senator's in a lot of pain,

263
00:11:32,364 --> 00:11:33,698
he's a very angry man,

264
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:36,034
and the guy says nothing.

265
00:11:36,135 --> 00:11:39,604
And the senator begs him to
do something, can he help him.

266
00:11:39,705 --> 00:11:42,306
And the guy still says nothing.

267
00:11:42,407 --> 00:11:44,575
And then the next thing we know,

268
00:11:44,677 --> 00:11:46,745
this guy's walking out all smiling.

269
00:11:46,846 --> 00:11:49,680
<i>I am no longer burdened.</i>

270
00:11:49,781 --> 00:11:52,916
<i>- All gone?
- All gone.</i>

271
00:11:53,018 --> 00:11:55,986
Holy Wayne, in a sense, is a cult leader,

272
00:11:56,087 --> 00:11:59,590
and a prophet, and he has
this inexplicable power

273
00:11:59,691 --> 00:12:01,192
to take people's pain away.

274
00:12:01,293 --> 00:12:05,062
By the point to which we reach
the beginning of this series,

275
00:12:05,163 --> 00:12:09,733
he is at the height of his
powers, but also a fugitive.

276
00:12:09,834 --> 00:12:12,536
He kind of exploits people

277
00:12:12,637 --> 00:12:16,140
using his power for his
own financial benefit,

278
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,710
and also surrounding himself
with like a harem of young girls

279
00:12:19,811 --> 00:12:22,412
that are kind of his groupies,

280
00:12:22,513 --> 00:12:25,348
but Christine has a
distinguished position among them.

281
00:12:25,449 --> 00:12:26,749
<i>I love you.</i>

282
00:12:26,850 --> 00:12:29,919
I love you too.

283
00:12:30,020 --> 00:12:31,888
She was just so young when
The Departure happened,

284
00:12:31,989 --> 00:12:33,790
she was, like, 13,

285
00:12:33,891 --> 00:12:36,293
and then after it, she ran away from home,

286
00:12:36,394 --> 00:12:39,162
and she found Holy Wayne,

287
00:12:39,262 --> 00:12:42,464
and she becomes his spiritual
wife, and he takes care of her.

288
00:12:42,566 --> 00:12:45,868
<i>This girl is everything. Yes?</i>

289
00:12:45,969 --> 00:12:47,536
<i>Yes.</i>

290
00:12:49,106 --> 00:12:52,374
In 1587, 117 English settlers

291
00:12:52,475 --> 00:12:55,811
arrived just off the coast
of what is now North Carolina,

292
00:12:55,912 --> 00:12:58,247
and formed the colony of Roanoke.

293
00:12:58,348 --> 00:13:00,616
John White, a newly elected governor,

294
00:13:00,717 --> 00:13:02,784
sailed back to England for fresh supplies.

295
00:13:02,885 --> 00:13:06,722
When he returned, the houses and
other shelters were nowhere in sight.

296
00:13:06,823 --> 00:13:11,359
The village was abandoned, and its
inhabitants had vanished without a trace.

297
00:13:15,264 --> 00:13:17,799
How could people really disappear?

298
00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:22,437
Is it a situation where
people have been teleported?

299
00:13:22,538 --> 00:13:24,740
Is it a situation where
we have multiple dimensions

300
00:13:24,841 --> 00:13:27,442
as are predicted by string theory,

301
00:13:27,543 --> 00:13:30,411
and somehow these people
slip into another dimension?

302
00:13:30,512 --> 00:13:32,680
Whatever it is,

303
00:13:32,781 --> 00:13:35,483
it's something that takes
place via some mechanism,

304
00:13:35,584 --> 00:13:37,452
and it can't be uncovered.

305
00:13:37,553 --> 00:13:40,855
When we study physics, there's two
things that we as humans know are true.

306
00:13:40,956 --> 00:13:44,358
Number one, we don't understand everything,

307
00:13:44,459 --> 00:13:48,395
and number two, we will
understand more in the future.

308
00:13:48,496 --> 00:13:50,798
And those two things will forever be true.

309
00:13:51,523 --> 00:13:55,223
_

310
00:13:56,504 --> 00:14:01,241
Matt Jamison is an Episcopalian
Reverend, post-Rapture.

311
00:14:01,342 --> 00:14:06,246
The world's attitude to God
is ambiguous, to say the least,

312
00:14:06,347 --> 00:14:09,383
so he's lost a lot of his business, really.

313
00:14:09,484 --> 00:14:12,118
And indeed, from a personal point of view,

314
00:14:12,219 --> 00:14:15,889
his own relationship to
God has become very complex.

315
00:14:15,990 --> 00:14:18,158
He feels that he should have been taken,

316
00:14:18,259 --> 00:14:20,126
because he was a true believer,

317
00:14:20,227 --> 00:14:22,461
and that was the promise,
as far as he was concerned,

318
00:14:22,562 --> 00:14:24,363
of the biblical Rapture,

319
00:14:24,464 --> 00:14:26,266
that Jesus' true followers
would be reunited.

320
00:14:26,366 --> 00:14:27,801
<i>It wasn't the Rapture!</i>

321
00:14:27,902 --> 00:14:30,536
<i>They were no better than us! I have proof!</i>

322
00:14:30,637 --> 00:14:33,472
We see him in the pilot claiming
that it wasn't the Rapture,

323
00:14:33,573 --> 00:14:37,443
certainly not the Rapture
as predicted by the Bible.

324
00:14:37,544 --> 00:14:39,945
He becomes a kind of
investigative reporter,

325
00:14:40,046 --> 00:14:42,114
digging up dirt on the
people who disappeared,

326
00:14:42,215 --> 00:14:44,350
to show that they were not good people,

327
00:14:44,451 --> 00:14:48,020
that it could not have been the
Rapture because bad people were taken.

328
00:14:48,121 --> 00:14:52,657
He starts to publish a pamphlet
about various people who were taken,

329
00:14:52,758 --> 00:14:56,094
and the skeletons in their closets.

330
00:14:56,196 --> 00:14:59,798
This becomes a kind of almost
terroristic act within the community,

331
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:01,967
to go after people who are gone.

332
00:15:02,068 --> 00:15:06,371
In that very human way, he justifies it

333
00:15:06,472 --> 00:15:10,007
by telling himself that God shows
him to remain, to do the dirty work.

334
00:15:10,108 --> 00:15:11,810
What do you believe in, Matt?

335
00:15:11,910 --> 00:15:14,045
Do you know where my family went?

336
00:15:14,146 --> 00:15:17,815
Do you know what it was!?

337
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:20,719
He articulates to his sister, Nora,

338
00:15:20,820 --> 00:15:24,322
that the sudden departure was a test.

339
00:15:24,422 --> 00:15:26,891
<i>It was a test for what comes now.</i>

340
00:15:26,992 --> 00:15:32,329
He sees it in the way that
Job saw the various trials

341
00:15:32,430 --> 00:15:34,631
which were visited on him.

342
00:15:34,733 --> 00:15:38,034
The loss of his children, the loss
of his wealth, the loss of everything.

343
00:15:38,135 --> 00:15:41,405
He sees himself as the shepherd.

344
00:15:42,574 --> 00:15:44,074
Do you know who that is?

345
00:15:45,142 --> 00:15:46,677
Nope.

346
00:15:46,778 --> 00:15:49,546
Her name's Nora something.
She was at Hero's Day.

347
00:15:49,647 --> 00:15:52,750
Her husband and her kids all disappeared.

348
00:15:52,851 --> 00:15:56,586
Nora, she occupies a very
elevated position in this town

349
00:15:56,687 --> 00:16:01,091
because she is the most grief-stricken
person in this tragedy of tragedies.

350
00:16:01,192 --> 00:16:03,760
She has lost the most
people in this small town.

351
00:16:03,861 --> 00:16:06,496
<i>Their names were...</i>

352
00:16:06,597 --> 00:16:08,498
<i>Are...</i>

353
00:16:08,599 --> 00:16:11,134
<i>Doug, Jeremy, and Erin.</i>

354
00:16:11,235 --> 00:16:13,969
When you have a tragedy occur,

355
00:16:14,070 --> 00:16:17,139
the way that what has happened to Nora
has happened, it becomes your identity.

356
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,442
I'm so sorry.

357
00:16:19,543 --> 00:16:21,377
<i>Oh. Uh, no worries.</i>

358
00:16:21,478 --> 00:16:22,279
<i>Let me get you another one.</i>

359
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,719
<i>No, No, it's fine, I've
got to be somewhere anyway.</i>

360
00:16:24,740 --> 00:16:26,173
<i>Sorry.</i>

361
00:16:26,249 --> 00:16:29,118
If she chooses to try and let go

362
00:16:29,219 --> 00:16:32,922
of that grief and pain, then who is she?

363
00:16:33,023 --> 00:16:35,958
And I think that's the question about
her that I think is really compelling,

364
00:16:36,059 --> 00:16:38,394
and something that
everyone could relate to.

365
00:16:38,494 --> 00:16:41,530
<i>- Kids okay?
- Yeah.</i>

366
00:16:41,631 --> 00:16:43,598
<i>Jill, she's fine.</i>

367
00:16:43,699 --> 00:16:45,834
<i>Tommy's still out west, I think.</i>

368
00:16:45,935 --> 00:16:49,504
Just because he doesn't check
in as often as he should,

369
00:16:49,605 --> 00:16:51,740
doesn't mean he doesn't love you.

370
00:16:51,841 --> 00:16:55,577
Scott Glenn plays Kevin
Garvey Senior, Kevin's father,

371
00:16:55,678 --> 00:16:58,012
who is the former Chief of Police.

372
00:16:58,113 --> 00:17:00,482
I was the Chief of Police of this town

373
00:17:00,583 --> 00:17:03,351
when this big disappearance happened.

374
00:17:03,452 --> 00:17:05,119
His father went insane, you know,

375
00:17:05,220 --> 00:17:08,156
and the big question is, is his father
the most sane person in the town?

376
00:17:08,257 --> 00:17:10,091
Or, is he the most insane?

377
00:17:10,192 --> 00:17:14,495
I've been committed to a high
security mental institution,

378
00:17:14,596 --> 00:17:18,198
because I've started hearing voices,

379
00:17:18,299 --> 00:17:22,603
and the voices are from a
very profound and high place.

380
00:17:22,704 --> 00:17:27,007
In the normal world, we would
just assume that this guy was nuts,

381
00:17:27,108 --> 00:17:30,444
but in this world, we have to
allow ourselves for the possibility

382
00:17:30,545 --> 00:17:32,680
that the voices that he's hearing are real.

383
00:17:32,781 --> 00:17:35,349
They said they sent, or are sending,

384
00:17:35,450 --> 00:17:37,351
somebody to help you.

385
00:17:37,452 --> 00:17:39,019
<i>Help me with what?</i>

386
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:41,554
I don't know.

387
00:17:41,655 --> 00:17:46,092
<i>But whatever it is, you might
want to keep it to yourself.</i>

388
00:17:47,395 --> 00:17:50,330
<i>So if we do it in Hawaii, half
the guest list won't even show up,</i>

389
00:17:50,431 --> 00:17:53,764
<i>which is getting to the point, right?</i>

390
00:17:54,669 --> 00:17:56,936
When we find Meg in the first episode,

391
00:17:57,037 --> 00:18:01,340
she's feeling very, uh, suffocated.

392
00:18:01,441 --> 00:18:05,478
And angry, and frustrated,
in her life and in her world.

393
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:10,716
<i>Listen, I know that this is
all a little overwhelmin'.</i>

394
00:18:10,817 --> 00:18:12,718
<i>Planning a wedding is a big deal.</i>

395
00:18:12,819 --> 00:18:14,453
It's not, actually.

396
00:18:14,554 --> 00:18:16,455
<i>What?</i>

397
00:18:16,556 --> 00:18:18,391
It's just a party, right?

398
00:18:18,492 --> 00:18:20,993
<i>We're exchanging vows.</i>

399
00:18:21,094 --> 00:18:23,529
That's not the wedding.

400
00:18:23,630 --> 00:18:25,931
She's got a lot of turmoil
going on inside her,

401
00:18:26,032 --> 00:18:28,700
and a lot of angst, and
then the G.R. show up,

402
00:18:28,801 --> 00:18:30,335
and they're following me.

403
00:18:30,436 --> 00:18:32,838
<i>Why are you following, everywhere!?</i>

404
00:18:32,939 --> 00:18:35,273
<i>Go! Away!</i>

405
00:18:35,374 --> 00:18:37,342
In the pilot,

406
00:18:37,443 --> 00:18:40,745
Meg was written as a
20-something-year-old redhead,

407
00:18:40,846 --> 00:18:43,415
and there was only like one scene.

408
00:18:43,516 --> 00:18:46,484
For some reason, I fell in love with her,

409
00:18:46,585 --> 00:18:48,119
and I was completely drawn to her.

410
00:18:48,220 --> 00:18:50,255
Then I knew that I had to be her.

411
00:18:52,358 --> 00:18:53,858
<i>Yo, ladies.</i>

412
00:18:53,959 --> 00:18:56,027
<i>Wanna get stoned and play some ping pong?</i>

413
00:18:56,127 --> 00:18:58,195
We're already stoned.

414
00:18:58,296 --> 00:19:01,231
<i>Oh, okay. Then we can skip
right to the ping pong.</i>

415
00:19:02,035 --> 00:19:05,302
The overall effect of in an instant,

416
00:19:05,336 --> 00:19:07,805
if 2% of the world's
population disappeared,

417
00:19:07,906 --> 00:19:11,008
is that it could happen again
any time without warning.

418
00:19:11,042 --> 00:19:12,908
Everyone's having a different reaction.

419
00:19:13,009 --> 00:19:14,910
Everyone's trying to come to terms with it

420
00:19:15,011 --> 00:19:16,879
in their own kind of way.

421
00:19:16,980 --> 00:19:19,782
The teenagers in particular
are getting pretty hedonistic

422
00:19:19,883 --> 00:19:24,086
and disconnected and reckless,
more so than teenagers usually are.

423
00:19:24,187 --> 00:19:26,989
They're pushing the limits but I
think teenagers are always doing that.

424
00:19:27,090 --> 00:19:29,524
It's just, it's amped up with the unknown.

425
00:19:29,626 --> 00:19:33,896
Tragedy can lead people to
nihilistic ways of living.

426
00:19:33,997 --> 00:19:36,866
Brenneman: The young people
are, like, all bets are off.

427
00:19:36,967 --> 00:19:40,102
Nobody's going to college so we might
as well just drink and get stoned.

428
00:19:40,203 --> 00:19:42,938
The kids are certainly
less inclined to sit around

429
00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:45,907
and mope and wonder
why this thing happened.

430
00:19:46,008 --> 00:19:48,243
But there is this magnification that occurs

431
00:19:48,344 --> 00:19:51,780
in a world that feels like it's
spinning a little bit out of control.

432
00:19:51,881 --> 00:19:53,782
If something terrible happens

433
00:19:53,883 --> 00:19:56,985
and somebody can find no hope in the
face of it, it's not really surprising.

434
00:19:57,086 --> 00:20:00,289
But if they stare that fact
in the eye, so to speak,

435
00:20:00,390 --> 00:20:03,424
perhaps they turn to a hedonistic
way of living just seeking pleasure

436
00:20:03,525 --> 00:20:05,726
because everything's
meaningless and pointless.

437
00:20:05,828 --> 00:20:09,497
It was 1878 in Quincy, Illinois

438
00:20:09,598 --> 00:20:11,933
when 16-year-old
Charles Ashmore

439
00:20:12,034 --> 00:20:14,102
went to the well to
fetch a bucket of water.

440
00:20:14,203 --> 00:20:18,106
When he didn't return his father
and sister set out to look for him.

441
00:20:18,207 --> 00:20:21,208
All they found were clear
footprints in the snow

442
00:20:21,310 --> 00:20:22,943
that stopped abruptly.

443
00:20:23,044 --> 00:20:24,679
There was no sign of a struggle.

444
00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:27,381
Just footprints that ended
on the way to the well.

445
00:20:27,482 --> 00:20:30,050
He was simply gone.

446
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:34,622
_

447
00:20:34,656 --> 00:20:36,790
I love Tom Perrotta's book

448
00:20:36,891 --> 00:20:39,759
not only because I think
the premise is so fresh

449
00:20:39,861 --> 00:20:43,096
but the way that he writes
characters and suburban life

450
00:20:43,198 --> 00:20:46,733
I think is very unique
and incredibly relatable.

451
00:20:46,835 --> 00:20:50,270
One of my favorite
things about Tom's writing

452
00:20:50,371 --> 00:20:52,806
is that he goes so deeply into

453
00:20:52,906 --> 00:20:55,742
each character and with
such detail where you think

454
00:20:55,843 --> 00:20:58,144
"I know exactly what he's talking about."

455
00:20:58,245 --> 00:21:00,046
I've never worked in TV before

456
00:21:00,147 --> 00:21:03,182
and Damon is a real veteran
of TV and so is Pete.

457
00:21:03,283 --> 00:21:07,153
So, in that sense, though
I originated the material

458
00:21:07,254 --> 00:21:10,656
I'm very much handing it over to them.

459
00:21:10,757 --> 00:21:12,791
- And can you go long on her?
- Yeah.

460
00:21:12,893 --> 00:21:15,928
Kind of pick her up and make
it kind of dirty if you want.

461
00:21:16,029 --> 00:21:17,997
What is very different from the book

462
00:21:18,098 --> 00:21:20,833
and what is immediately apparent
is Tom has a little bit more

463
00:21:20,934 --> 00:21:22,835
of a satirical quality.

464
00:21:22,936 --> 00:21:25,637
The menace isn't quite as high.

465
00:21:25,739 --> 00:21:28,907
Perrotta: Any translation
of the book into a film

466
00:21:29,008 --> 00:21:32,845
requires that a new thing is created
and I'm totally fine with that.

467
00:21:32,945 --> 00:21:36,715
You'll see that with, say,
the character Matt Jameson.

468
00:21:36,816 --> 00:21:39,017
A very minor character in the book

469
00:21:39,118 --> 00:21:42,921
and he's become a kind of a
major force within the show.

470
00:21:43,022 --> 00:21:46,291
Then there are characters like Dean played
by Michael Gaston who aren't in the book.

471
00:21:46,392 --> 00:21:50,061
Lucy Warburton is not
in Tom Perrotta's novel.

472
00:21:50,162 --> 00:21:52,764
This is a character that is, um,

473
00:21:52,865 --> 00:21:54,799
that was developed for the adaptation.

474
00:21:54,901 --> 00:21:57,335
The most fundamental
change on a character level

475
00:21:57,436 --> 00:22:00,505
was we took Kevin who is actually
the town Mayor in Tom's book

476
00:22:00,606 --> 00:22:02,473
and we made him the chief of police

477
00:22:02,574 --> 00:22:05,209
because it just felt like that
was a much more dynamic job.

478
00:22:05,310 --> 00:22:07,678
And more importantly if
you're living in a world

479
00:22:07,780 --> 00:22:10,080
that is teetering on the brink of insanity

480
00:22:10,181 --> 00:22:14,051
a cop is going to be dealing with
insane people on a regular basis

481
00:22:14,152 --> 00:22:16,853
in a way that the town
mayor probably isn't.

482
00:22:16,887 --> 00:22:19,723
The book is more of a meditation
on grief and loss, I think,

483
00:22:19,757 --> 00:22:21,759
than...

484
00:22:21,793 --> 00:22:23,994
well, just you've got
to action it up for TV.

485
00:22:24,028 --> 00:22:25,862
(Laughs) So they do.

486
00:22:25,896 --> 00:22:28,965
An unmanned merchant ship,

487
00:22:29,066 --> 00:22:30,534
The Mary Celeste

488
00:22:30,635 --> 00:22:34,070
was found adrift in the
Atlantic Ocean in 1872.

489
00:22:34,171 --> 00:22:36,505
The ship's cargo was intact

490
00:22:36,606 --> 00:22:39,775
and there were no signs
of bad weather or a mutiny.

491
00:22:39,877 --> 00:22:41,744
But the crew was gone

492
00:22:41,846 --> 00:22:44,580
along with the captain
and his entire family.

493
00:22:44,681 --> 00:22:47,450
They were never to be found.

494
00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:50,520
_

495
00:22:50,554 --> 00:22:53,823
One of most well known
mysterious disappearances,

496
00:22:53,923 --> 00:22:56,925
is the whole crew of the
ship The Mary Celeste.

497
00:22:57,026 --> 00:23:00,162
A perfectly sea worthy
ship with valuable cargo

498
00:23:00,263 --> 00:23:03,232
is found drifting in the Atlantic Ocean

499
00:23:03,333 --> 00:23:05,600
with nobody on board.

500
00:23:05,701 --> 00:23:08,203
The lifeboat was missing.

501
00:23:08,304 --> 00:23:09,972
There was no lifeboat found.

502
00:23:10,073 --> 00:23:13,141
Their fate is probably obvious.

503
00:23:13,243 --> 00:23:15,577
If you think about the...

504
00:23:15,678 --> 00:23:17,346
just capsizing they would have drowned.

505
00:23:17,446 --> 00:23:22,316
The big mystery is what caused
them to get into the lifeboat.

506
00:23:22,418 --> 00:23:24,386
Why get into a little boat

507
00:23:24,487 --> 00:23:27,722
when you have a perfectly
sea worthy big boat

508
00:23:27,823 --> 00:23:30,925
to which nothing seems to be wrong with it.

509
00:23:31,026 --> 00:23:33,361
The lost colony of Roanoac Island

510
00:23:33,462 --> 00:23:37,064
which is one of the earliest
English settlements in the New World

511
00:23:37,165 --> 00:23:39,800
is a most intriguing story.

512
00:23:39,902 --> 00:23:43,737
A man named White had
to come back to London

513
00:23:43,838 --> 00:23:46,740
to arrange for further supplies to be sent.

514
00:23:46,841 --> 00:23:49,810
Unfortunately it was for
three years before he got back

515
00:23:49,912 --> 00:23:52,980
when he got back there was nobody there.

516
00:23:53,081 --> 00:23:55,081
It wasn't clear what had
happened to the people.

517
00:23:55,182 --> 00:23:58,886
He did find the letters
"CROATOAN" on the tree

518
00:23:58,986 --> 00:24:02,088
which was the name of both neighboring
island and neighoring tribe.

519
00:24:02,189 --> 00:24:05,559
Nobody really knows what happened to
the colonists in those three years.

520
00:24:05,660 --> 00:24:08,796
It's still a mysterious disappearance.

521
00:24:08,897 --> 00:24:13,766
Louis LePrince is an interesting story.

522
00:24:13,867 --> 00:24:17,203
He is now, I think it's fair to say

523
00:24:17,305 --> 00:24:21,074
recognized as having
invented the moving picture.

524
00:24:21,175 --> 00:24:24,644
He was in the process of
taking his invention to America.

525
00:24:24,745 --> 00:24:26,946
He got on a train with his luggage

526
00:24:27,047 --> 00:24:29,048
and he was never seen again.

527
00:24:29,149 --> 00:24:32,819
The interesting thing there is that
the luggage disappeared as well.

528
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,354
So, did he in fact ever get on the train?

529
00:24:35,456 --> 00:24:37,490
There are all kinds of
questions about that one

530
00:24:37,591 --> 00:24:41,494
which make it a particularly
interesting disappearance.

531
00:24:41,595 --> 00:24:42,628
<i>Let's roll 'em.</i>

532
00:24:42,729 --> 00:24:44,629
- A mark.
- C mark.

533
00:24:44,730 --> 00:24:45,831
<i>Here we go, folks.</i>

534
00:24:45,932 --> 00:24:47,166
<i>And action!</i>

535
00:24:47,267 --> 00:24:49,101
<i>Bring in my fighters.</i>

536
00:24:49,202 --> 00:24:51,136
<i>Come on down, guilty remnants.</i>

537
00:24:51,237 --> 00:24:53,672
What Pete does and what Damon does

538
00:24:53,773 --> 00:24:55,774
is kind of a magic trick
as far as I'm concerned.

539
00:24:55,875 --> 00:24:57,909
It's a high science for them.

540
00:24:58,011 --> 00:24:59,845
Every time Damon comes on set

541
00:24:59,946 --> 00:25:03,348
it's like a radar kind
of goes off in my head

542
00:25:03,449 --> 00:25:06,417
and I look around for
him and then there he is.

543
00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:08,753
And it's, like, "Hey, dude, what's this?"

544
00:25:08,855 --> 00:25:10,789
And he's, like, "Do you really wanna..."

545
00:25:10,890 --> 00:25:12,924
That's the famous Damon Lindelof line.

546
00:25:13,025 --> 00:25:14,860
"Do you really wanna know?"

547
00:25:14,961 --> 00:25:16,694
And it's so scary

548
00:25:16,795 --> 00:25:18,562
that usually I'm, like...

549
00:25:18,663 --> 00:25:21,599
usually I'm, like, "No, man. No, no.

550
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:23,267
"No. I don't want to... no."

551
00:25:23,369 --> 00:25:25,470
There's a part of you
that feels like he knows.

552
00:25:25,570 --> 00:25:28,906
He knows everything. He knows where this
is going to go and what's going to happen.

553
00:25:29,008 --> 00:25:31,275
And that he's cast you for a reason

554
00:25:31,377 --> 00:25:33,844
and he's asking you to do
certain things for a reason,

555
00:25:33,945 --> 00:25:36,480
but you don't know yet because
something else is going to happen.

556
00:25:36,581 --> 00:25:38,849
You can even lose, I'm not sure, if you...

557
00:25:38,950 --> 00:25:43,521
Damon basically just crushes down
on every character, every scene,

558
00:25:43,622 --> 00:25:46,156
he really, you know, gets into the sandbox

559
00:25:46,257 --> 00:25:48,692
and drills down on all
those character stuff.

560
00:25:48,793 --> 00:25:51,661
We've had a little bit of talk
about where things were going

561
00:25:51,762 --> 00:25:55,032
but I have to say most of
it has been a surprise to me.

562
00:25:55,133 --> 00:25:58,101
Sometimes because it's a surprise
to them what Nora is doing, I think.

563
00:25:58,202 --> 00:26:00,203
He wants to live in the moment.

564
00:26:00,304 --> 00:26:03,673
These characters are impacting
on him and his writers

565
00:26:03,774 --> 00:26:06,108
as they're impacting on
the audience and on us.

566
00:26:06,209 --> 00:26:09,245
And what I love is that I
don't know where I'm going.

567
00:26:09,346 --> 00:26:12,381
It's how I watch television
just one episode at a time.

568
00:26:12,482 --> 00:26:15,084
So as an actor it's just
one script at a time for me.

569
00:26:15,185 --> 00:26:18,487
And I find that to be the
healthiest way for me to work.

570
00:26:18,589 --> 00:26:20,456
It's great when it's a sort of surprise

571
00:26:20,558 --> 00:26:22,491
because life is like that.

572
00:26:22,592 --> 00:26:26,462
And this is a really strange slice of life.

573
00:26:26,563 --> 00:26:30,799
Livvy, go sit out again.
Start from the top.

574
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:33,769
Amy, will you come back
in and exit again, please?

575
00:26:33,870 --> 00:26:37,540
Pete Berg who is very energetic
and crazy and amazing...

576
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,043
and he loves to just throw everything
as you think it's going to happen

577
00:26:41,143 --> 00:26:44,079
away and just put you in these situations

578
00:26:44,180 --> 00:26:47,816
that feel really chaotic but it
creates this incredible tension,

579
00:26:47,917 --> 00:26:50,886
and it makes everyone very free.

580
00:26:50,987 --> 00:26:53,055
But I really like something almost extreme.

581
00:26:53,155 --> 00:26:54,756
Like real long lensy.

582
00:26:54,857 --> 00:26:57,058
Here, profile, face.

583
00:26:57,159 --> 00:26:58,693
Tight on the eye.

584
00:26:58,794 --> 00:27:00,261
Looks up.

585
00:27:00,362 --> 00:27:02,830
Pete has this kind of, you
know, whirling dervish kind of,

586
00:27:02,931 --> 00:27:05,233
you know, insane, macho,
whatever you want to call it,

587
00:27:05,334 --> 00:27:08,035
just... he's just very aggressive
about his directing style

588
00:27:08,137 --> 00:27:10,671
in the way he just throws cameras around.

589
00:27:10,772 --> 00:27:12,773
<i>When I say approach</i>

590
00:27:12,874 --> 00:27:15,142
<i>you guys are going to slowly
start moving in on them.</i>

591
00:27:15,243 --> 00:27:18,713
He knows that there's a
world that he can play in

592
00:27:18,814 --> 00:27:21,248
and that he can control these
little characters on his videogame

593
00:27:21,349 --> 00:27:23,317
through his monitor.

594
00:27:23,418 --> 00:27:25,853
And tell them "Go this way,
do that, run with them."

595
00:27:25,954 --> 00:27:28,089
And the camera operators are going to know

596
00:27:28,189 --> 00:27:29,656
if that might happen too.

597
00:27:29,757 --> 00:27:30,924
<i>Floyd!</i>

598
00:27:31,025 --> 00:27:33,927
He's an improvising
director which is very rare.

599
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:36,029
Okay, thank you all very much.

600
00:27:36,131 --> 00:27:37,498
Good job...

601
00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:41,201
?

602
00:27:41,302 --> 00:27:44,004
I think the story's going to
resonate with so many people

603
00:27:44,105 --> 00:27:46,105
in a very intimate way.

604
00:27:47,975 --> 00:27:50,610
Whatever the viewers' assumptions are

605
00:27:50,711 --> 00:27:52,779
about this rapture-like event

606
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,515
should be a welcomed discussion.

607
00:27:55,616 --> 00:27:58,718
I hope that people will just relish
the mystery and some of the ambiguity

608
00:27:58,819 --> 00:28:01,054
because, frankly, our lives are full of it.

609
00:28:01,155 --> 00:28:03,956
Let it happen to somebody else for a while.

610
00:28:04,057 --> 00:28:07,393
You killed for great
purpose? Yes, but you killed.

611
00:28:07,494 --> 00:28:11,164
It just feels real. You feel like you're
peaking in on these peoples' lives.

612
00:28:11,265 --> 00:28:13,232
It's about what it is to be human.

613
00:28:13,333 --> 00:28:15,501
If we work very very hard

614
00:28:15,602 --> 00:28:17,570
and if we're committed to our vision,

615
00:28:17,671 --> 00:28:21,706
it's possible that we might make
something that feels different or new.

616
00:28:22,709 --> 00:28:23,742
Cut!

617
00:28:23,843 --> 00:28:25,010
And cutting.

618
00:28:25,611 --> 00:28:35,611
