1
00:00:01,918 --> 00:00:03,794
And action!
2
00:00:12,053 --> 00:00:13,429
Move it!
3
00:00:14,931 --> 00:00:17,141
Where's my wife?
-I don't know.
4
00:00:17,808 --> 00:00:19,477
You're a clever one, Cork.
5
00:00:22,813 --> 00:00:23,981
Come on!
6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,443
Come on, James.
7
00:00:57,473 --> 00:01:00,184
People always think
that the times they live in...
8
00:01:00,393 --> 00:01:04,313
...are unique and they also think
that the times they live in...
9
00:01:04,522 --> 00:01:07,567
...are the most difficult
and the most chaotic.
10
00:01:07,775 --> 00:01:14,282
If you go backwards to the Civil War,
the country came to an end, it split in two.
11
00:01:15,032 --> 00:01:17,034
And they weren't sure...
12
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:20,371
...whether they was ever
going to come together again.
13
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:23,583
To do a cop show set in the 1860s...
14
00:01:23,791 --> 00:01:26,669
...Is so rich with drama...
15
00:01:26,877 --> 00:01:31,132
...because everything
that a contemporary audience...
16
00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:33,467
...faces on a day-to-day basis...
17
00:01:33,676 --> 00:01:35,553
...they faced back then...
18
00:01:35,761 --> 00:01:40,808
...but they didn't have a lot of the stuff
that we have to make it a little easier.
19
00:01:47,607 --> 00:01:49,692
Because the next scene
is gonna be like this, right?
20
00:01:57,617 --> 00:01:59,493
You just go "zoo."
-Yeah.
21
00:02:01,996 --> 00:02:04,123
Perfect.
-Let's go right away, guys.
22
00:02:04,332 --> 00:02:09,170
Copper is a cop show
set in New York during the Civil War.
23
00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:13,257
You're now looking at New York City...
24
00:02:13,424 --> 00:02:16,135
...a hundred
and forty some years ago.
25
00:02:17,219 --> 00:02:19,555
You move through
all these different parts of New York...
26
00:02:19,722 --> 00:02:24,852
...and see how aggressive,
unsure and violent the time was.
27
00:02:26,812 --> 00:02:30,024
I think it's a show
that is built on hope and survival.
28
00:02:30,191 --> 00:02:32,818
I mean, the fact that it's built around
a police force...
29
00:02:33,027 --> 00:02:39,617
...in the most dilapidated area in New York
during 1864 is a struggle for most people.
30
00:02:40,034 --> 00:02:41,911
I guess it's an upstairs-downstairs...
31
00:02:42,078 --> 00:02:48,042
...type of dichotomy going on,
but they very much overlap.
32
00:02:48,250 --> 00:02:52,672
On one level, you have the downtown,
Five Points aspect.
33
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,591
And then you have
what goes on up in Fifth Avenue.
34
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,094
Try not to miss me too much.
35
00:02:58,844 --> 00:03:00,554
I think there's a huge class structure...
36
00:03:00,763 --> 00:03:02,723
...which was more simple.
You had the people...
37
00:03:02,890 --> 00:03:06,686
...who are in the elite part of New York
and you had the people that just weren't.
38
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:10,898
Copper is--
It's about a lot of things.
39
00:03:11,107 --> 00:03:13,275
But it is a crime drama.
40
00:03:13,734 --> 00:03:19,448
It's an interesting discussion
about the nascent New York.
41
00:03:25,746 --> 00:03:28,207
The way Copper came about...
42
00:03:28,374 --> 00:03:31,335
...was I received a call
from Christina Wayne...
43
00:03:31,502 --> 00:03:34,296
...and she had been working
on an idea for a series...
44
00:03:34,463 --> 00:03:36,507
...with a wonderful screenwriter,
Will Rooks.
45
00:03:37,591 --> 00:03:39,719
I had recently met Will...
46
00:03:39,927 --> 00:03:41,637
...for other projects
and had read a script.
47
00:03:41,804 --> 00:03:45,099
He was, you know, a nominated writer
for Monster's Ball...
48
00:03:45,307 --> 00:03:49,061
...So upon meeting him,
I just thought his dark sensibility...
49
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:51,605
...would be great for a show like this.
50
00:03:51,814 --> 00:03:53,524
I started off with a great producer...
51
00:03:53,691 --> 00:03:56,736
...who helped get executives
and producers...
52
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,531
...interested in actually making it
into a television series.
53
00:04:00,740 --> 00:04:03,701
Christina was able to get Tom Fontana
to take a look...
54
00:04:03,909 --> 00:04:09,415
...and Tom really brought a lot,
made it more alive and richer.
55
00:04:09,665 --> 00:04:11,250
You know,
once you have a green light...
56
00:04:11,417 --> 00:04:13,544
...and once you have the funding
and a script...
57
00:04:13,753 --> 00:04:16,630
...and once you have
a vague outline of a plan...
58
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,134
...the real hurdle becomes
finding the people to actually execute it.
59
00:04:20,342 --> 00:04:22,511
But you must find people
who are not only excellent...
60
00:04:22,678 --> 00:04:25,890
...at what they do as craftsmen,
but can also really handle the pressure...
61
00:04:26,098 --> 00:04:28,434
...of something this gigantic
and this unknown.
62
00:04:29,477 --> 00:04:31,729
It's a great team, from top to bottom.
63
00:04:31,937 --> 00:04:36,734
I think it's really good storytelling,
and it has a great backdrop to it all.
64
00:04:37,234 --> 00:04:40,571
There was huge immigration
that took place.
65
00:04:40,988 --> 00:04:44,950
Five Points, crowded, chaotic.
66
00:04:45,159 --> 00:04:49,288
I mean, you're really talking about
some very, very interesting elements...
67
00:04:49,497 --> 00:04:51,207
...through the eyes of this detective.
68
00:04:51,415 --> 00:04:54,502
I wanna know what Schwartz knows.
69
00:04:55,294 --> 00:04:57,129
Schwartz!
70
00:04:57,338 --> 00:04:59,799
I'm Tom Weston-Jones
and I'm playing Kevin Cormorant...
71
00:05:00,007 --> 00:05:03,719
...who is the Irish American cop
in the Five Points...
72
00:05:03,928 --> 00:05:07,306
...trying to create some semblance of law
and order in the place.
73
00:05:07,515 --> 00:05:08,933
Captain.
74
00:05:09,141 --> 00:05:11,227
Every time I've seen a man drop...
75
00:05:11,435 --> 00:05:13,521
...he tries to grab
one more breath of air.
76
00:05:13,729 --> 00:05:14,772
Meaning?
77
00:05:14,980 --> 00:05:17,483
He was dead before he was lynched.
78
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:22,696
That's kind of beginnings
of crime scene investigation.
79
00:05:22,905 --> 00:05:24,532
I'm not sure yet if Garland is guilty.
80
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:27,910
I am sure that O'Connor was killed
with a long, thin needle.
81
00:05:28,118 --> 00:05:29,703
More of your scientific nonsense?
82
00:05:29,912 --> 00:05:32,331
Let me prove Garland's guilt
before we hang him.
83
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:36,919
As he's investigating other cases
as a policeman...
84
00:05:37,127 --> 00:05:40,506
...he's trying to solve a personal mystery
that's been haunting him.
85
00:05:40,714 --> 00:05:42,633
If you should happen
to come across...
86
00:05:42,842 --> 00:05:47,388
...a distinctive gold locket engraved with
the letters "E" and "C" on its face...
87
00:05:47,596 --> 00:05:51,642
...it might have pictures of a man
and a little girl on the inside.
88
00:05:51,851 --> 00:05:54,854
What's interesting is,
through the police eyes...
89
00:05:55,062 --> 00:05:57,773
...you can have contact
with all the different neighborhoods...
90
00:05:58,190 --> 00:05:59,692
...in New York City.
91
00:06:00,317 --> 00:06:05,406
From the Five Points, a really squalid
situation that New York was in...
92
00:06:05,614 --> 00:06:08,701
...also uptown on Fifth Avenue.
93
00:06:08,909 --> 00:06:10,202
In Civil War era New York...
94
00:06:10,411 --> 00:06:13,789
...Fifth Avenue becomes synonymous
with opulence, luxurious living.
95
00:06:13,998 --> 00:06:18,586
They had a way of life
that was known only to a few of the elite.
96
00:06:19,503 --> 00:06:21,338
I think someone needs to dance.
97
00:06:21,547 --> 00:06:23,424
Yes, he does.
98
00:06:24,967 --> 00:06:27,177
Five Points wouldn't really
leak into Fifth Avenue...
99
00:06:27,386 --> 00:06:29,889
...even though those areas
are very close together.
100
00:06:30,097 --> 00:06:33,767
There is this knowledge all the time
that we're living this life...
101
00:06:34,184 --> 00:06:39,648
...and just down the street there is
a completely different existence going on.
102
00:06:40,274 --> 00:06:43,736
In the Five Points,
although it was bad to live there...
103
00:06:43,944 --> 00:06:47,865
...there were still people who were trying to be
industrious and make the best of it.
104
00:06:48,073 --> 00:06:52,536
But it's just the sheer number of people
that make it impossible to survive.
105
00:06:52,745 --> 00:06:55,122
New York City,
America's first metropolis...
106
00:06:55,331 --> 00:06:58,375
...reached roughly a million people
by the Civil War era.
107
00:06:58,584 --> 00:07:01,086
Of those million people,
roughly 500,000...
108
00:07:01,295 --> 00:07:05,633
...were packed into the small strip
of Manhattan below 14th Street.
109
00:07:05,841 --> 00:07:10,012
The Five Points, the sixth ward,
had roughly 20,000 people...
110
00:07:10,220 --> 00:07:12,640
...and had the highest density
per population...
111
00:07:12,848 --> 00:07:14,975
...not only of any place
in New York City...
112
00:07:15,184 --> 00:07:18,395
...but just about any place
in the western world.
113
00:07:19,521 --> 00:07:23,359
Jacob Rios' book
How the Other Half Lives...
114
00:07:23,567 --> 00:07:26,946
...was the first time
that this environment was documented.
115
00:07:27,154 --> 00:07:30,991
His photographs were taken
20 years after our series...
116
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,329
...but the lives that he depicted
in his photographs...
117
00:07:35,537 --> 00:07:38,082
...are not substantially
different from the lives...
118
00:07:38,290 --> 00:07:40,668
...that we're depicting in our series.
119
00:07:42,294 --> 00:07:45,965
The Five Points, by the Civil War,
was principally an Irish neighborhood.
120
00:07:46,173 --> 00:07:48,300
There were blacks, there were Jews,
there were Italians...
121
00:07:48,509 --> 00:07:53,263
...but by and large it's the Irish
working class that defines the area.
122
00:07:53,472 --> 00:07:57,476
So by our time, the police department
is roughly one-half Irish Catholic...
123
00:07:57,685 --> 00:07:59,979
...and there were
a lot of concerns about that.
124
00:08:00,896 --> 00:08:05,484
Would the Irish-Catholic immigrants
be loyal to their own people...
125
00:08:05,693 --> 00:08:09,905
...or would they be loyal
to the job of being a cop?
126
00:08:11,281 --> 00:08:13,867
You're committing an insult
against our people.
127
00:08:14,076 --> 00:08:17,121
If I wanted to be locked up for being Irish,
I'd go to Belfast.
128
00:08:17,788 --> 00:08:19,707
Not everybody
in the neighborhood is a criminal.
129
00:08:19,873 --> 00:08:22,418
I think that there's a lot
of hardworking people here that really...
130
00:08:22,626 --> 00:08:26,380
...respected and appreciated
what the police officers were trying to do.
131
00:08:26,588 --> 00:08:30,384
But at the same time, I think
it was probably the most dangerous job...
132
00:08:30,592 --> 00:08:35,097
...in New York, at the time, was to be
a police officer in the Five Points.
133
00:08:37,349 --> 00:08:41,478
If you're given power in an area
filled with people...
134
00:08:41,645 --> 00:08:43,230
...that will do
whatever they want to survive...
135
00:08:43,439 --> 00:08:46,316
...you're gonna have to play it
pretty tough.
136
00:08:48,277 --> 00:08:51,113
Always good to be
on the right side of the law.
137
00:08:54,283 --> 00:08:56,618
It was a messy, confusing time.
138
00:08:56,827 --> 00:09:00,622
There was bigotry,
there's prejudice and crime.
139
00:09:01,457 --> 00:09:04,918
I think this has a lot of the elements
which makes for very good storytelling...
140
00:09:05,127 --> 00:09:08,464
...and you're also showing, very much,
the American experience.
141
00:09:08,672 --> 00:09:12,134
No cane?
-Yeah, feeling risky.
142
00:09:12,342 --> 00:09:14,136
When you see something that you go...
143
00:09:14,344 --> 00:09:17,931
...Wow, that's actually what I saw,"
it's pretty damned exciting.
144
00:09:18,140 --> 00:09:20,517
What's even more exciting
is when you see something...
145
00:09:20,726 --> 00:09:23,145
...better than
what you thought you wanted.
146
00:09:23,353 --> 00:09:27,316
I mean, it's almost like
it smells of New York back in the day.
147
00:09:27,524 --> 00:09:31,195
Especially in the butchers.
-Yeah. Yeah.
148
00:09:31,403 --> 00:09:34,364
You really don't have to act all that much
when you smell a rotting pig.
149
00:09:35,824 --> 00:09:38,327
It's very honest. It's very, very honest.
150
00:09:55,511 --> 00:09:57,179
Christ!
151
00:09:57,387 --> 00:09:58,472
Can't you knock?
152
00:10:01,809 --> 00:10:03,143
Ha, ha, ha. Hui.
153
00:10:06,730 --> 00:10:08,232
Come in here.
154
00:10:08,398 --> 00:10:10,567
Creating new characters is always fun...
155
00:10:10,776 --> 00:10:14,655
...and challenging,
because what you wanna do...
156
00:10:14,822 --> 00:10:17,783
...Is come up with characters
that haven't been seen on TV before...
157
00:10:17,991 --> 00:10:19,868
...which I think
we have done with this show.
158
00:10:20,577 --> 00:10:23,205
Our lowly Irish asses would hang
for a lesser crime, but you...
159
00:10:23,413 --> 00:10:27,000
...you sit there, letting them win,
because you want the ho poll oi to think...
160
00:10:27,209 --> 00:10:29,461
...Saran Joseph Sullivan
was a good boy.
161
00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:31,964
You finished, copper?
162
00:10:32,172 --> 00:10:33,757
In terms of the individual characters...
163
00:10:33,966 --> 00:10:39,638
...1 think the character of Cormorant
IS a hero...
164
00:10:39,847 --> 00:10:42,975
...without necessarily being heroic.
165
00:10:43,183 --> 00:10:44,726
You know, it's like a Greek myth...
166
00:10:44,893 --> 00:10:48,772
...almost, in terms of the size
of the struggle...
167
00:10:48,981 --> 00:10:52,901
...that he has in the course of the series.
168
00:10:53,944 --> 00:10:56,864
Some people would say
he's an incredibly tragic character.
169
00:10:57,072 --> 00:10:59,449
He's come back
from the Civil War...
170
00:10:59,616 --> 00:11:04,079
...to find out that his wife has disappeared
and his daughter is dead.
171
00:11:04,288 --> 00:11:08,375
And his morals
come into question a little bit...
172
00:11:08,584 --> 00:11:11,795
...because he has to do the wrong things
for the right reasons.
173
00:11:14,673 --> 00:11:16,842
Maguire and O'Brien are his boys...
174
00:11:17,050 --> 00:11:19,887
...and you'll get a real sense
of defense of each other...
175
00:11:20,095 --> 00:11:23,557
...especially Maguire and Cormorant.
He's his go-to guy.
176
00:11:24,224 --> 00:11:26,143
Get Freeman. Get Freeman.
177
00:11:26,351 --> 00:11:29,563
I think at the core
of our relationship...
178
00:11:29,730 --> 00:11:34,484
...with Cormorant, Maguire and O'Brien,
I think it's friendship.
179
00:11:34,693 --> 00:11:38,697
And it's ultimate friendship and trust.
And we've all, you know...
180
00:11:38,864 --> 00:11:42,201
...have our layers
of what we've done that isn't correct...
181
00:11:42,409 --> 00:11:43,911
...or that affects our friendship...
182
00:11:44,119 --> 00:11:48,081
...but I think we absolutely have
each other's backs.
183
00:11:48,290 --> 00:11:51,001
Thank God there's three of us,
then?
184
00:11:51,627 --> 00:11:53,420
O'Brien is the powerhouse of the group.
185
00:11:53,587 --> 00:11:56,632
O'Brien is the guy
who will just pick someone up...
186
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:57,883
...and throw them through a window.
187
00:11:58,091 --> 00:11:59,551
That's his go-to place during a fight.
188
00:12:01,011 --> 00:12:04,223
Andrew O'Brien is a very loyal man.
189
00:12:04,431 --> 00:12:05,682
He's married to Sybil O'Brien...
190
00:12:05,849 --> 00:12:08,477
...who wears the pants
in the relationship, certainly.
191
00:12:10,103 --> 00:12:13,690
And he's relatively new
to the whole detective business.
192
00:12:13,899 --> 00:12:16,235
Reverend, you seem awfully calm
for a guilty man.
193
00:12:16,443 --> 00:12:20,239
I think O'Brien is really enamored
by the work that Cormorant does...
194
00:12:20,405 --> 00:12:23,033
...because he's this detective
that thinks outside the box.
195
00:12:24,701 --> 00:12:25,869
Yes?
196
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,747
There's a body in Cow Bay.
197
00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:31,708
Franks Potent plays Eva...
198
00:12:31,875 --> 00:12:35,754
...who is the madam at the brothel.
199
00:12:35,963 --> 00:12:38,882
She is a very powerful woman
in Five Points.
200
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,425
She is very cunning...
201
00:12:41,093 --> 00:12:45,806
...and also has a soft side,
a weak side to her...
202
00:12:46,014 --> 00:12:47,724
...which is her love for Cormorant.
203
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:51,311
A little courtesy is all I'm asking.
204
00:12:51,645 --> 00:12:54,731
I'm not thinking
courteous thoughts right now.
205
00:12:54,898 --> 00:12:57,484
With Cormorant and Eva,
their relationship...
206
00:12:57,693 --> 00:13:00,195
...you'll see,
is a very, very heated, sexual one.
207
00:13:01,029 --> 00:13:03,699
I think, overall, she wants prosperity.
208
00:13:03,865 --> 00:13:06,410
This is why she came to America
and left everything behind.
209
00:13:06,618 --> 00:13:10,622
She wants the American dream,
you know, and she works hard for it.
210
00:13:10,831 --> 00:13:12,499
She wants a home,
she wants everything...
211
00:13:12,708 --> 00:13:17,713
...that other people want too,
but without children and that kind of stuff.
212
00:13:18,755 --> 00:13:21,425
In the case of Annie,
which is kind of like this little thing...
213
00:13:21,591 --> 00:13:23,468
...that comes to her by accident...
214
00:13:23,677 --> 00:13:29,391
...I always imagine that it's like a hint
of a memory of herself, maybe.
215
00:13:29,599 --> 00:13:31,977
So you don't have to be afraid,
all right?
216
00:13:32,185 --> 00:13:34,021
Come along, hon.
217
00:13:34,229 --> 00:13:38,108
Annie Reilly is a girl
who's a runaway.
218
00:13:38,275 --> 00:13:40,902
She's grown up way too quickly.
219
00:13:41,111 --> 00:13:43,864
She has had a horrible childhood...
220
00:13:44,072 --> 00:13:47,701
...and I think she's searching for
just someone to care for her...
221
00:13:47,909 --> 00:13:51,079
...to love her, and for protection.
222
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,833
Please don't send me back to Mr. Reilly.
223
00:13:55,042 --> 00:13:59,212
Well, Annie is an immediate reminder
of his daughter...
224
00:13:59,421 --> 00:14:04,092
...and it breaks Cormorant�s heart
to see her suffering so much.
225
00:14:04,301 --> 00:14:07,012
Get some rest, honey.
-So that need to make things...
226
00:14:07,220 --> 00:14:11,016
...okay becomes very convoluted
and very strange.
227
00:14:11,516 --> 00:14:13,852
So it's a fascinating relationship
between the two...
228
00:14:14,061 --> 00:14:18,023
...because you never really know
which way it's gonna turn.
229
00:14:18,231 --> 00:14:20,233
Kevin, I'm sorry.
230
00:14:21,651 --> 00:14:28,241
I think women during the 1860s
had a lot of conventions...
231
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:29,493
...forced upon them.
232
00:14:29,701 --> 00:14:31,828
And the way
that you behaved in society...
233
00:14:32,037 --> 00:14:36,541
...it was much more rigid
and restricted...
234
00:14:36,750 --> 00:14:39,378
...in terms of what you were allowed
to do or say.
235
00:14:39,586 --> 00:14:40,629
Thank you.
236
00:14:40,837 --> 00:14:45,509
Elizabeth Haverford
is a well-to-do woman...
237
00:14:45,675 --> 00:14:47,761
...who was brought up in London...
238
00:14:47,928 --> 00:14:49,638
...and she finds herself
on Fifth Avenue...
239
00:14:49,805 --> 00:14:54,226
...where they're all emulating
that same stifling British society...
240
00:14:54,935 --> 00:14:57,437
...and she's really not finding the space
and the freedom that she wants.
241
00:14:59,189 --> 00:15:02,609
She's seeing a lot of men
who say one thing and do another...
242
00:15:02,776 --> 00:15:06,154
...live a very polite life
but actually behave very badly.
243
00:15:06,321 --> 00:15:09,157
And she doesn't respect it.
244
00:15:09,366 --> 00:15:13,787
And she really doesn't care
that much what society thinks.
245
00:15:14,788 --> 00:15:17,374
You may show yourselves out
once the performance is over...
246
00:15:17,541 --> 00:15:21,294
...and then, please, never call again.
247
00:15:22,462 --> 00:15:24,381
It's a complicated thing for Cormorant...
248
00:15:24,548 --> 00:15:29,094
...because he has spent his entire life
surrounded by the people of Five Points...
249
00:15:29,261 --> 00:15:31,596
...where he really feels at home.
250
00:15:32,180 --> 00:15:37,727
But the person who he mixes most with
from Fifth Avenue would be Mo rehouse.
251
00:15:37,894 --> 00:15:40,689
That's where he gets his flavor
and his sense of...
252
00:15:40,856 --> 00:15:43,608
...you know, the elite class of New York.
253
00:15:44,276 --> 00:15:46,486
Cork, join us.
254
00:15:47,070 --> 00:15:51,783
Mo rehouse is an upper-class character
who has a very interesting...
255
00:15:51,950 --> 00:15:54,619
...political compass
that separates him...
256
00:15:55,078 --> 00:15:57,581
...from a lot of the upper echelon
in New York City.
257
00:15:57,747 --> 00:16:02,252
Father, I see you have a new clerk.
258
00:16:03,170 --> 00:16:07,841
He isn't 100 percent about money,
of course, that's business.
259
00:16:08,008 --> 00:16:09,634
He's not willing to let go of his wealth.
260
00:16:09,801 --> 00:16:11,219
There will be a proper commission.
261
00:16:11,386 --> 00:16:15,724
But I think his moral compass
is a place where he kind of feels...
262
00:16:15,891 --> 00:16:18,018
...that he's a man of the people...
263
00:16:18,185 --> 00:16:21,021
...although, I don't think anybody else
would feel that way.
264
00:16:21,229 --> 00:16:22,898
Your friend Cormorant
is beneath contempt.
265
00:16:23,190 --> 00:16:26,485
Which puts him one level above you.
266
00:16:27,611 --> 00:16:31,406
If you weren't Norbert's son,
I would give you a good thrashing.
267
00:16:33,074 --> 00:16:35,410
If you were to say
that there's one character...
268
00:16:35,577 --> 00:16:38,955
...who is the most honest
and true and good...
269
00:16:39,122 --> 00:16:41,291
...I'd say that Matthew Freeman
is that character.
270
00:16:41,458 --> 00:16:44,419
I think he's an incredibly moral person.
271
00:16:44,669 --> 00:16:48,131
-What do you want?
- I want to know how she died.
272
00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:51,551
You know, I feel that the character,
Matthew Freeman...
273
00:16:51,718 --> 00:16:55,138
...he represents
where we all wanna be as people...
274
00:16:55,305 --> 00:17:01,394
...because what he does is he doesn't look
necessarily at the color of your skin.
275
00:17:01,645 --> 00:17:04,064
He's my assistant.
His name is Kevin.
276
00:17:04,231 --> 00:17:07,067
He's someone that Cormorant
not only turns to for help...
277
00:17:07,234 --> 00:17:11,029
...with the detective work
that he comes across...
278
00:17:11,196 --> 00:17:14,157
...but also in terms of his choices
and what he does with his time.
279
00:17:14,324 --> 00:17:17,118
And both of them
have concern for one another.
280
00:17:17,410 --> 00:17:20,163
-Today is moving day.
-You're moving? To where?
281
00:17:20,872 --> 00:17:22,999
Just up north of the new park,
Commons ville.
282
00:17:23,208 --> 00:17:26,211
-So far away.
-Look around you, Cork.
283
00:17:26,378 --> 00:17:29,798
Since the riots, my people have been
moving out of Five Points.
284
00:17:29,965 --> 00:17:32,217
What I love about
a lot of the relationships in this...
285
00:17:32,384 --> 00:17:35,303
...Is that they're bonded through turmoil
and suffering.
286
00:17:35,554 --> 00:17:39,266
And you can see that with the relationship
between Freeman and Mo rehouse.
287
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:44,771
I wouldn't call them friends
in the true sense of the word...
288
00:17:44,938 --> 00:17:47,232
...I'd call them...
289
00:17:48,149 --> 00:17:49,651
...unlikely companions.
290
00:17:49,859 --> 00:17:53,822
You, me and our good friend
Matthew Freeman...
291
00:17:53,989 --> 00:17:56,533
...we three must tread carefully.
292
00:17:58,451 --> 00:18:02,205
Our lives depend on our finesse.
293
00:18:03,331 --> 00:18:06,293
Mo rehouse, Cormorant
and the character that I play...
294
00:18:06,459 --> 00:18:10,046
...Matthew Freeman,
we all fought together in the Civil War.
295
00:18:10,213 --> 00:18:12,591
Mo rehouse was the major
who led us...
296
00:18:12,757 --> 00:18:16,386
...and Cormorant and I,
we were in the trenches together.
297
00:18:16,595 --> 00:18:18,513
I think the thing
that ties them all together...
298
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,183
...Is that they're all kind of
modern thinkers, in their own ways.
299
00:18:22,392 --> 00:18:25,020
They all see something
in the other person they really admire...
300
00:18:25,186 --> 00:18:27,439
...but there are huge differences
between all of them.
301
00:18:27,606 --> 00:18:30,108
If he beats Ginning
you know these fine people will riot.
302
00:18:30,817 --> 00:18:33,445
You could give me
a free consultation now and then.
303
00:18:34,404 --> 00:18:39,618
The actors that we've hired
are so wonderfully human.
304
00:18:40,243 --> 00:18:42,871
And they're so mulch-dimensional...
305
00:18:43,038 --> 00:18:45,498
...what they're bringing
to the characters...
306
00:18:45,707 --> 00:18:47,959
...because none of these characters
is evil...
307
00:18:48,168 --> 00:18:51,963
...and none of these characters
is totally good.
308
00:18:52,172 --> 00:18:55,216
They're real people
in a real time that existed...
309
00:18:55,425 --> 00:18:57,385
...and our actors are, I think...
310
00:18:57,594 --> 00:19:03,141
...doing a terrific job
of depicting these lives.
311
00:19:03,558 --> 00:19:05,060
No pain.
312
00:19:05,226 --> 00:19:06,936
No shit.
313
00:19:11,733 --> 00:19:14,235
If you think Lincoln
cares about our city anymore...
314
00:19:14,444 --> 00:19:18,281
...than he does that town of Vermont,
I got a bar soap to sell you.
315
00:19:18,448 --> 00:19:22,619
I should tell you
that I'm a historian wannabe.
316
00:19:22,786 --> 00:19:28,083
I love history, and this particular period,
the American Civil War...
317
00:19:28,291 --> 00:19:32,754
...Is something
that I know a ridiculous amount about.
318
00:19:33,004 --> 00:19:36,299
-Detective.
- I say, let's step up...
319
00:19:36,508 --> 00:19:39,427
...and tell Mr. Lincoln
this war needs to stop now.
320
00:19:41,012 --> 00:19:44,641
This time in New York City, specifically,
but this time in America in general...
321
00:19:44,808 --> 00:19:48,353
...was full of turbulence.
322
00:19:49,104 --> 00:19:50,772
There was a huge amount of fear...
323
00:19:50,939 --> 00:19:53,108
...because just before
the show actually begins...
324
00:19:53,274 --> 00:19:55,694
...that's when the draft riots were.
325
00:19:55,860 --> 00:19:58,154
Tens of thousands
of New Yorkers took to the streets...
326
00:19:58,321 --> 00:20:01,908
...in protest against
the first draft in American history.
327
00:20:02,075 --> 00:20:04,327
Many of them
were motivated by anger...
328
00:20:04,494 --> 00:20:05,870
...against the provision
that allowed people...
329
00:20:06,037 --> 00:20:08,373
...to get out of the draft
by paying for a substitute...
330
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:12,210
...three hundred dollars,
which was about the annual wage...
331
00:20:12,377 --> 00:20:15,964
...for a typical unskilled worker,
a lot of money.
332
00:20:16,131 --> 00:20:20,009
But others were motivated
by other factors, namely racism.
333
00:20:20,176 --> 00:20:23,513
They took the draft riots
as an opportunity to attack...
334
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,348
...and in some cases Kill...
335
00:20:25,515 --> 00:20:27,934
...African-Americans
on the streets of New York.
336
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:32,480
Black people,
since they were not citizens...
337
00:20:32,647 --> 00:20:35,900
...were not going to be conscripted.
So you can imagine the working class...
338
00:20:36,067 --> 00:20:40,405
...the Irish and the Germans that live in
the Five Points at that time...
339
00:20:40,572 --> 00:20:43,032
...were pretty pissed off
because now we're fighting a war...
340
00:20:43,199 --> 00:20:47,454
...and going to die for black people
who they didn't really like.
341
00:20:47,620 --> 00:20:51,082
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation
has put fear in the hearts of the Irish.
342
00:20:51,249 --> 00:20:52,917
They're terrified...
343
00:20:53,084 --> 00:20:55,378
...that the Negros will come north
and steal all their jobs.
344
00:20:55,545 --> 00:21:00,842
The extremes of war
bring the level of violence up...
345
00:21:01,009 --> 00:21:03,511
...throughout the rest of society.
346
00:21:03,678 --> 00:21:08,475
And that's when you have
an increase of murders...
347
00:21:08,641 --> 00:21:13,813
...and gang slayings
that existed in Five Points at this time.
348
00:21:13,980 --> 00:21:17,442
We're gonna police you,
just like a dead nerve.
349
00:21:20,069 --> 00:21:22,489
The Five Points is also a place
that reminds us...
350
00:21:22,655 --> 00:21:26,117
...that life was perilous
in New York City.
351
00:21:26,284 --> 00:21:29,579
It's a neighborhood that was showing
all the problems...
352
00:21:29,746 --> 00:21:33,666
...that are gonna come
with the growth of the big city.
353
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,214
Certain streets and certain alleys in the
Five Points were notorious for crime.
354
00:21:39,380 --> 00:21:42,884
Notorious for places
where murders happened frequently...
355
00:21:43,051 --> 00:21:45,345
...where criminals lived or hung out...
356
00:21:45,512 --> 00:21:49,682
...and where places that
one would not go knowingly...
357
00:21:49,849 --> 00:21:53,061
...unless one was accompanied
by a policeman.
358
00:21:53,228 --> 00:21:57,440
To be in that environment and trying
to have some sort of policing control...
359
00:21:57,607 --> 00:22:00,527
...it was an incredible task for anyone.
360
00:22:00,693 --> 00:22:02,403
So you had to go at it with force...
361
00:22:02,570 --> 00:22:03,988
...you know, in any way you could...
362
00:22:04,155 --> 00:22:07,992
...because, really, when they got together
in numbers, they had more men.
363
00:22:08,159 --> 00:22:10,495
They were dangerous guys.
They were brutal.
364
00:22:12,622 --> 00:22:15,458
When I have a gun
and you don't, it's bad for you...
365
00:22:15,625 --> 00:22:19,212
...because I'm holding all the power,
whether it's today or back then.
366
00:22:19,379 --> 00:22:23,049
Talk or you can pray.
367
00:22:23,216 --> 00:22:26,261
For the police guns, there was the 1851 Colt...
368
00:22:26,427 --> 00:22:27,971
...and we're using the sheriff model...
369
00:22:28,137 --> 00:22:31,057
...because it's a shorter barrel,
easier to handle for the actors.
370
00:22:31,224 --> 00:22:34,185
It was the same type of gun
that was used in the day.
371
00:22:34,352 --> 00:22:35,436
Hey.
372
00:22:35,603 --> 00:22:37,814
The guns themselves,
I think they were beautiful guns.
373
00:22:37,981 --> 00:22:41,317
They've got this amazing artwork
over the actual barrel here.
374
00:22:41,484 --> 00:22:43,736
And what a lot of people
don't know is that...
375
00:22:43,903 --> 00:22:47,490
...they actually took a longtime to load.
376
00:22:47,657 --> 00:22:49,784
You're not just willy-billy firing
all over the place.
377
00:22:49,951 --> 00:22:52,245
You wanna make every shot count
because you only have six.
378
00:22:52,412 --> 00:22:54,289
You don't know
how many bad guys you're against...
379
00:22:54,455 --> 00:22:57,000
...So you need to make
every shot count.
380
00:22:57,166 --> 00:23:00,336
And if you couldn't get it done in six,
you better run.
381
00:23:00,503 --> 00:23:02,380
There's certain police weapons...
382
00:23:02,547 --> 00:23:05,508
...that were just kind of like
household products stitched together...
383
00:23:05,675 --> 00:23:07,969
...which were just used to cause
as much damage as possible.
384
00:23:08,136 --> 00:23:10,930
Like, they'd use the face of irons,
they'd use horseshoes.
385
00:23:11,097 --> 00:23:13,141
They'd use anything made of metal...
386
00:23:13,308 --> 00:23:15,935
...and put it on the end of a stick
to control people.
387
00:23:16,102 --> 00:23:18,855
So it was a very brutal period
of time.
388
00:23:19,022 --> 00:23:24,527
I want the whole truth
or I start swinging.
389
00:23:25,653 --> 00:23:27,071
It was not a great life.
390
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,866
And I think one of the things that we do
really well in Copper is show...
391
00:23:30,033 --> 00:23:33,494
...the conditions at that time
and how desperate people were.
392
00:23:33,703 --> 00:23:36,831
I think that's why you see the women,
especially, being prostitutes.
393
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,459
Have a good evening, James.
394
00:23:39,918 --> 00:23:41,669
To our modern eyes...
395
00:23:41,878 --> 00:23:45,381
...the social world to the Five Points
can seem quite shocking.
396
00:23:45,590 --> 00:23:50,720
For example, the age of consent in
New York State at this period was 10.
397
00:23:50,929 --> 00:23:52,013
Come on, Shady.
398
00:23:52,221 --> 00:23:55,308
One could find very, very
different kinds of prostitution.
399
00:23:55,516 --> 00:23:58,227
There were prostitutes
who operated out of their tenements.
400
00:23:58,436 --> 00:24:01,314
There were also prostitutes
who operated out of saloons.
401
00:24:01,522 --> 00:24:03,483
There were also madams, brothel keepers.
402
00:24:03,650 --> 00:24:06,486
Women who had establishments
like Eva's Paradise...
403
00:24:06,694 --> 00:24:10,657
...that were actually
quite elaborate and quite profitable.
404
00:24:10,865 --> 00:24:14,202
Left us a souvenir.
405
00:24:14,410 --> 00:24:16,412
Being a prostitute...
406
00:24:16,579 --> 00:24:20,833
...without a form of livelihood...
407
00:24:21,042 --> 00:24:23,211
...was illegal.
408
00:24:24,462 --> 00:24:30,343
A woman who ran her own prostitution
business that was not illegal.
409
00:24:30,551 --> 00:24:32,136
Monsieur M.
410
00:24:32,345 --> 00:24:35,098
The brothels
were hugely popular at the time.
411
00:24:35,306 --> 00:24:40,103
I think from the perspective of women,
it was an incredibly sad time...
412
00:24:40,311 --> 00:24:42,397
...being indoctrinated
into that kind of world...
413
00:24:42,605 --> 00:24:44,691
...and just made to think
that it's normal and okay.
414
00:24:44,899 --> 00:24:46,067
Pleasure doing business with you.
415
00:24:46,275 --> 00:24:50,863
Prostitution served a purpose,
that it kept...
416
00:24:51,072 --> 00:24:54,534
...men's lust safely removed...
417
00:24:54,742 --> 00:24:59,372
...from the space of the home circle.
418
00:24:59,580 --> 00:25:04,377
It was socially acceptable,
and if not socially acceptable...
419
00:25:04,585 --> 00:25:06,629
...socially unavoidable.
420
00:25:06,838 --> 00:25:11,175
There were the horrible aspects
of the abuse and the maltreatment...
421
00:25:11,384 --> 00:25:14,387
...but then there were women like Eva,
who's the brothel owner...
422
00:25:14,595 --> 00:25:17,807
...who are like modern-day
businesswomen.
423
00:25:18,016 --> 00:25:19,726
Would you like to get rich with me,
Cork?
424
00:25:20,893 --> 00:25:27,316
When you're designing a series, you look
for an endless amount of drama.
425
00:25:28,276 --> 00:25:32,196
And that's what the 1860s
in New York City gives you.
426
00:25:32,405 --> 00:25:33,906
It gives you the same things...
427
00:25:34,115 --> 00:25:37,368
...that a contemporary person experiences...
428
00:25:37,577 --> 00:25:42,498
...but it's all just a little more brutal
and little more raw.
429
00:26:04,979 --> 00:26:07,899
To recreate New York in the 1860s...
430
00:26:08,107 --> 00:26:13,196
...takes a lot of inventiveness
on the part of the creative team.
431
00:26:17,617 --> 00:26:22,205
In terms of creating the vision
of the world that we're gonna be living in...
432
00:26:22,413 --> 00:26:28,044
...we have John Blacking, who designed
the sets and they're remarkable.
433
00:26:29,295 --> 00:26:32,048
When you do a contemporary drama
and you go outside...
434
00:26:32,256 --> 00:26:35,093
...you're doctoring up a reality
that already exist.
435
00:26:35,301 --> 00:26:37,970
With period pictures,
you start with zero...
436
00:26:38,179 --> 00:26:40,598
...and you put it all in front of the camera.
437
00:26:41,974 --> 00:26:48,106
Every piece of paint, the bricks,
every wood texture, every road texture...
438
00:26:48,314 --> 00:26:52,568
...a period piece gives you
the opportunity to make it all happen.
439
00:26:53,820 --> 00:26:55,655
Visually, I think it should be very striking...
440
00:26:55,822 --> 00:26:58,199
...because what we've built here
is Five Points...
441
00:26:58,407 --> 00:27:01,994
...and incredible craftsmanship
that has gone into it.
442
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:05,998
As you look around the set,
you can tell that, you know...
443
00:27:06,207 --> 00:27:08,668
...we tried to make everything
have a different texture...
444
00:27:08,876 --> 00:27:10,878
...from one building to the next...
445
00:27:11,087 --> 00:27:14,340
...So that from the broken brick
of that building to the crooked siding...
446
00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:18,928
...on this one, to the yellow brick
and the concretes and--
447
00:27:19,095 --> 00:27:21,764
Yeah. The cobblestone streets
but also the wooden sidewalks...
448
00:27:21,931 --> 00:27:24,225
...that were very common back then.
449
00:27:25,351 --> 00:27:29,772
The Five Points is a part of New York
that was built on an old stagnant pond...
450
00:27:29,981 --> 00:27:32,316
...and not many people
actually know about it.
451
00:27:32,525 --> 00:27:36,737
But the Five Points was actually sinking
into the ground.
452
00:27:39,073 --> 00:27:41,784
This is one of the buildings
we have a fair bit of reference on.
453
00:27:41,951 --> 00:27:43,744
There's a lot of etchings
about this corner.
454
00:27:43,953 --> 00:27:46,789
And this is the one
that most clearly is sinking.
455
00:27:46,998 --> 00:27:48,708
We tried to recreate that here.
456
00:27:48,916 --> 00:27:51,836
We did it by making our window openings
larger than our windows...
457
00:27:52,044 --> 00:27:54,505
...and just kind of twisting
the windows inside...
458
00:27:54,714 --> 00:27:56,090
...and then following that line
with the planks...
459
00:27:56,299 --> 00:27:59,135
...and kind of give a sense
of a sinking building.
460
00:28:00,511 --> 00:28:04,223
One of the big challenges with Copper
is that, in the studio...
461
00:28:04,432 --> 00:28:08,394
...we're building
what really is an entire little town.
462
00:28:08,603 --> 00:28:11,731
And our town
also has interiors in it too...
463
00:28:11,939 --> 00:28:15,067
...So there's a huge volume
that has to be dealt with.
464
00:28:15,818 --> 00:28:18,279
We start by a lot of research.
So understanding...
465
00:28:18,487 --> 00:28:20,364
...what people have in their houses...
466
00:28:20,531 --> 00:28:23,868
...what did doctors have,
what kinds of things were in saloons...
467
00:28:24,076 --> 00:28:28,456
...what were in bordellos.
There's a real cross-section of society...
468
00:28:28,664 --> 00:28:30,833
...that we're looking for.
469
00:28:33,669 --> 00:28:39,634
So this is Madame Pompadour's bordello,
and it's a very high-end bordello...
470
00:28:39,842 --> 00:28:42,511
...where the upper crust
of male aspect of New York society...
471
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,139
...comes to take their pleasure.
472
00:28:45,932 --> 00:28:49,769
So all the furnishings here were
mostly found online or in antique shops.
473
00:28:49,977 --> 00:28:54,065
And we upholstered everything
or painted it.
474
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,985
We got lots of small things
that you may or may not pick up.
475
00:28:58,194 --> 00:29:00,363
Kind of gaudy, but it's fun.
476
00:29:02,448 --> 00:29:05,117
It takes weeks and months to find this.
477
00:29:05,326 --> 00:29:10,248
This set has taken nearly three months
to find to put together.
478
00:29:11,415 --> 00:29:13,209
Getting it right is really important to us...
479
00:29:13,376 --> 00:29:18,130
...and that pressure we feel
in getting it right is enormous.
480
00:29:18,339 --> 00:29:22,301
So the first thing
that we see up, we are in the--
481
00:29:22,510 --> 00:29:23,970
One of the mandates we had...
482
00:29:24,136 --> 00:29:26,889
...was they wanted to be
as historically accurate as possible.
483
00:29:27,098 --> 00:29:30,268
We are looking back at what was done
and we're replicating that.
484
00:29:31,227 --> 00:29:34,146
Really, it's all about hunting
the deer for us.
485
00:29:35,731 --> 00:29:39,068
So one of the main scenes
for episode six is...
486
00:29:39,277 --> 00:29:43,072
...Freeman does what's called the Marsh test,
which is the test for arsenic.
487
00:29:43,572 --> 00:29:47,368
Basically, the chemicals are put into here.
There's a chemical reaction that bubbles up...
488
00:29:47,576 --> 00:29:49,704
...and sends smoke through the tube-
489
00:29:49,912 --> 00:29:53,374
-And then the next beat is it's here.
-In real time, how long does that take?
490
00:29:53,541 --> 00:29:55,960
It's probably 15-minute test,
it's not that long.
491
00:29:59,297 --> 00:30:01,090
Prior to this test...
492
00:30:01,257 --> 00:30:03,801
...lots of people were actually
using arsenic...
493
00:30:04,010 --> 00:30:05,845
...to bump off some of their relatives.
494
00:30:06,012 --> 00:30:08,264
It was called the "inheritance powder"...
495
00:30:08,472 --> 00:30:11,142
...because it was so potent
and so untraceable.
496
00:30:11,309 --> 00:30:12,727
Freeman is sitting down.
497
00:30:12,893 --> 00:30:15,563
It's one thing to find out
what a Marsh test is...
498
00:30:15,730 --> 00:30:17,648
...but it's another thing to get
a Marsh test.
499
00:30:17,815 --> 00:30:19,734
So we had to construct that prop...
500
00:30:19,900 --> 00:30:22,570
...because nobody had one in existence
that we could find.
501
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:25,698
We found people that could fabricate
the pieces for us...
502
00:30:25,906 --> 00:30:29,201
...and they clicked it all together
like Lego.
503
00:30:29,410 --> 00:30:32,621
Now I, as the actor, come on set
and they've set it up for me...
504
00:30:32,830 --> 00:30:39,045
...and so I get to recreate this landmark
forensic moment in our TV show.
505
00:30:39,253 --> 00:30:44,133
As an actor, you show up and you say,
"Wow, what I'm doing is pretty incredible.�
506
00:30:44,342 --> 00:30:47,470
And this is what happens every day
on set.
507
00:30:52,892 --> 00:30:56,395
I mean, obviously the clothes,
the sets, the world...
508
00:30:56,562 --> 00:30:59,065
...all of that sort of layers
on top of each other...
509
00:30:59,273 --> 00:31:03,361
...and helps us feel more authentic
in the roles that we're playing.
510
00:31:03,569 --> 00:31:08,074
And we have to suck all of that up
and use it as much as possible.
511
00:31:08,282 --> 00:31:12,203
Aren't you the debonair detective.
And you're enjoying yourself?
512
00:31:15,206 --> 00:31:19,335
The biggest challenges in working
with period are getting a realistic look.
513
00:31:19,543 --> 00:31:23,339
The fact that the sewing machine
had only been invented in the 1840s...
514
00:31:23,547 --> 00:31:28,969
...and the people that are less well-off
would not have had machine sewing.
515
00:31:29,178 --> 00:31:31,263
I mean, now it's become
a real sign of status...
516
00:31:31,472 --> 00:31:33,974
...to be able to afford handmade suits
and handmade clothing...
517
00:31:34,183 --> 00:31:39,271
...but back then if you could afford to have
sewing machined, that was great.
518
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,525
The quality of the wardrobe
and what Delphinus has done with...
519
00:31:42,691 --> 00:31:46,737
...just her whole vision
of the show is phenomenal.
520
00:31:46,946 --> 00:31:49,490
Everything is made out of--
All my stuff is made out of cashmere...
521
00:31:49,782 --> 00:31:54,495
...which is awesome,
because I've never owned any cashmere.
522
00:31:55,121 --> 00:31:56,872
Do you usually walk around the front?
523
00:31:57,039 --> 00:31:59,333
I have huge empathy for the women
of this time...
524
00:31:59,542 --> 00:32:03,629
...having to navigate their lives
dressed like this.
525
00:32:03,838 --> 00:32:05,714
Even just the days I have on set...
526
00:32:05,923 --> 00:32:08,134
...where I'm working maybe even
five, six hours...
527
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:10,553
...and I have to hang out in the corset...
528
00:32:10,761 --> 00:32:13,764
...it can become very challenging,
not just how tight it is...
529
00:32:13,973 --> 00:32:16,892
...but also, you know, the hoop.
You have no flexibility.
530
00:32:17,101 --> 00:32:23,149
You have no freedom, really.
You have to constrain your movements.
531
00:32:23,315 --> 00:32:24,733
It's interesting too...
532
00:32:24,942 --> 00:32:26,068
...because I was just talking to her
the other day.
533
00:32:26,277 --> 00:32:29,572
We have made a corset for her
that is a little more comfortable...
534
00:32:29,780 --> 00:32:31,365
...but she is not feeling the part.
535
00:32:31,574 --> 00:32:36,078
She is not feeling this kind of separation
and propriety...
536
00:32:36,287 --> 00:32:41,000
...that she does with this
really uncomfortable corset.
537
00:32:41,208 --> 00:32:43,961
All this chatter has made me quite ill.
538
00:32:44,170 --> 00:32:46,630
I knew the walk that I would have to do
was that bit smaller...
539
00:32:46,797 --> 00:32:49,091
...because they've done all of this.
540
00:32:51,427 --> 00:32:53,971
You know, you show up,
you put on this wardrobe...
541
00:32:54,180 --> 00:32:57,766
...and you step into this world
and you're there.
542
00:32:57,975 --> 00:33:00,102
There ain't much we can do
to lock up this room...
543
00:33:00,269 --> 00:33:02,271
...without turning the place
into a prison.
544
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,150
Design of the whole thing
is just so incredibly detailed...
545
00:33:06,358 --> 00:33:11,280
...that you can immerse yourself in it
without really trying that hard.
546
00:33:11,489 --> 00:33:14,200
Once you step into this world, it's surreal.
547
00:33:14,408 --> 00:33:18,829
It is the world and everybody just,
I think, feels the magic...
548
00:33:19,038 --> 00:33:21,874
...when they get on the set.
549
00:33:22,082 --> 00:33:25,961
I am constantly being surprised
by the various artisans...
550
00:33:26,170 --> 00:33:29,006
...who are working on this show
taking what's on the page...
551
00:33:29,215 --> 00:33:31,550
...and like kicking it up to the next level.
552
00:33:31,717 --> 00:33:34,178
It doesn't matter. It's just
like seeing his world, right?
553
00:33:34,345 --> 00:33:37,389
And then
when you get parallel with the mark...
554
00:33:47,399 --> 00:33:50,694
When you've got a big day of shooting
with a lot of stunts...
555
00:33:50,903 --> 00:33:52,863
...it's very exciting for everybody.
556
00:33:54,698 --> 00:33:57,618
And I think no matter what scene
we throw at Tom...
557
00:33:57,826 --> 00:34:02,998
...I am always totally confident
that he will deliver...
558
00:34:03,207 --> 00:34:05,834
...not just what's on the page but more.
559
00:34:07,753 --> 00:34:10,047
Well, when I get out of the car...
560
00:34:10,256 --> 00:34:12,716
...my clothes are in my trailer
so I normally get in there...
561
00:34:12,925 --> 00:34:15,511
...1 have to put on a small amount
of costume first...
562
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,471
...just because otherwise
you'd mess up the makeup...
563
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,641
...whenever you go to makeup afterwards,
So yeah.
564
00:34:21,392 --> 00:34:24,770
And the makeup trailer is a great place
to just look over the lines...
565
00:34:24,937 --> 00:34:27,106
...getting them very much in your head.
566
00:34:28,774 --> 00:34:30,192
When you get the makeup
and costume on...
567
00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:32,236
...because it's so particular to the period...
568
00:34:32,403 --> 00:34:35,406
...that's when you actually
get the character on.
569
00:34:35,614 --> 00:34:38,409
That's when it actually starts to fit.
570
00:34:39,410 --> 00:34:41,495
For Tom's character, you know...
571
00:34:41,662 --> 00:34:44,456
...we look to living in Five Points.
It's a grimy place...
572
00:34:44,665 --> 00:34:49,336
...it's a dirty place, he's a night guy,
he doesn't sleep very much.
573
00:34:49,545 --> 00:34:54,883
So we do things that kind of make him
look tired and worn.
574
00:34:56,969 --> 00:35:00,347
The dirt helps so much to get into
that vibe of the period...
575
00:35:00,556 --> 00:35:03,684
...because it was so grungy,
especially with the oil lamps...
576
00:35:03,892 --> 00:35:07,563
...that were going on, so as soon as you can look
at the fingernails that I have here.
577
00:35:07,771 --> 00:35:11,150
Linda is great in terms of the details
she puts into everything.
578
00:35:11,358 --> 00:35:13,819
And then she'd apply
some redness under the eyes...
579
00:35:14,028 --> 00:35:17,948
...and around the nose
and sort of broken capillaries and things.
580
00:35:18,157 --> 00:35:20,534
Feeling hungover
is kind of how I wanna look.
581
00:35:20,743 --> 00:35:22,786
That will be great.
582
00:35:22,995 --> 00:35:26,707
Normally, after having makeup you get
sometimes sends straight in for blocking...
583
00:35:26,915 --> 00:35:29,627
...depending on what time of the day it is.
584
00:35:30,044 --> 00:35:31,795
Normally, a closed kind of thing...
585
00:35:32,004 --> 00:35:34,673
...like Jeff likes it to be
just the actors and him...
586
00:35:34,882 --> 00:35:37,676
...but today
because it's such a large scene...
587
00:35:37,885 --> 00:35:40,304
...and there's a lot of
choreographed boxing in it...
588
00:35:40,512 --> 00:35:42,931
...we had everybody on set.
589
00:35:44,850 --> 00:35:49,104
Well, this scene is-- It's a boxing match
that Cormorant is refereeing.
590
00:35:49,980 --> 00:35:54,360
Tom Weston-Jones' character
has his leg broken in episode two.
591
00:35:54,526 --> 00:35:57,821
So in this scene,
he's got his cane and he's using it...
592
00:35:58,030 --> 00:36:01,742
...to help coral the fighters
and help keep them in line.
593
00:36:04,203 --> 00:36:06,705
One of the challenges
that you have shooting the 1860s...
594
00:36:06,914 --> 00:36:09,249
...Is that there was no electricity.
595
00:36:09,458 --> 00:36:15,255
So anything that you're gonna do
interior at night has to be lit by fire...
596
00:36:15,464 --> 00:36:17,508
...because that was the only light source
back then.
597
00:36:17,675 --> 00:36:18,967
So you'll see in the barn...
598
00:36:19,134 --> 00:36:25,182
...that we have probably a dozen or more
kerosene lanterns hung from the rafters.
599
00:36:25,974 --> 00:36:28,185
In order to get that authentic look,
you know...
600
00:36:28,394 --> 00:36:31,730
...that fire-lit look from the 1860s...
601
00:36:31,939 --> 00:36:36,777
...Paul has to keep all his light levels
very, very low so that the lanterns read.
602
00:36:36,985 --> 00:36:41,865
If the Paul has got too much light in there,
the lanterns aren't going to show up at all.
603
00:36:42,866 --> 00:36:47,830
It's always a balance for
a cinematographer in lighting a situation...
604
00:36:48,038 --> 00:36:51,333
...between what's correct
and also what's practical.
605
00:36:51,542 --> 00:36:53,585
And so from a practical standpoint...
606
00:36:53,794 --> 00:36:57,005
...it makes a lot of sense to engineer
some kind of lighting plan...
607
00:36:57,214 --> 00:37:00,300
...that would allow that
and yet still be flattering to the actors...
608
00:37:00,509 --> 00:37:04,012
...and technically correct
for the time period.
609
00:37:08,058 --> 00:37:09,893
When we do a big fight scene like this...
610
00:37:10,102 --> 00:37:13,105
...the most important thing
is for the fighters...
611
00:37:13,313 --> 00:37:17,359
...and Tom Weston-Jones, in this case,
to be rehearsed...
612
00:37:17,568 --> 00:37:19,987
...and have the fight choreographed
well ahead of time.
613
00:37:20,195 --> 00:37:22,531
-Just so there's no hesitation.
-Okay. Gotcha.
614
00:37:22,740 --> 00:37:25,659
So Layton
and the stunt guys and actors...
615
00:37:25,868 --> 00:37:27,244
...who were involved in the fights...
616
00:37:27,411 --> 00:37:29,371
...spent a lot of time last week...
617
00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:32,916
...actually choreographing this
and getting it down. They videotape it.
618
00:37:33,083 --> 00:37:36,879
They come and show it to us.
It's quite an elaborate process.
619
00:37:37,087 --> 00:37:39,173
One of the main reasons
we do this is because...
620
00:37:39,381 --> 00:37:41,508
...when we get here
with the full crew standing, waiting...
621
00:37:41,675 --> 00:37:44,636
...hundred and fifty people,
that's a lot of time and a lot of energy.
622
00:37:44,845 --> 00:37:47,181
We can just walk in, say:
"This is the action.
623
00:37:47,347 --> 00:37:50,309
This is how it's going to be."
And our director and our POD can say...
624
00:37:50,517 --> 00:37:54,104
...camera here, camera there,
and we're ready to roll.
625
00:37:54,605 --> 00:37:56,899
It all can get a little bit overexciting...
626
00:37:57,065 --> 00:37:59,526
...when you're actually going to do
the first take...
627
00:37:59,735 --> 00:38:01,904
...but, you know, we do it
SO many, So many times...
628
00:38:02,112 --> 00:38:05,657
...and these stunt guys are so good
that they don't mind taking a tumble.
629
00:38:05,866 --> 00:38:09,161
They really wanted to make it
look as really as possible.
630
00:38:14,041 --> 00:38:15,667
One thing that really helped...
631
00:38:15,876 --> 00:38:18,921
...was just having the extras around
really throwing themselves into it...
632
00:38:19,087 --> 00:38:21,840
...because in that kind of environment,
boxing...
633
00:38:22,049 --> 00:38:24,593
...It needs spectators
and it needs people that really back it.
634
00:38:24,802 --> 00:38:27,721
And I can see the two guys
who are doing the fighting felt that as well.
635
00:38:28,472 --> 00:38:30,974
You always get a little bit
of adrenaline rush and everything...
636
00:38:31,141 --> 00:38:33,435
...because you hear
the cameras rolling and "action"...
637
00:38:33,644 --> 00:38:35,437
...and the people are cheering
and everything.
638
00:38:35,604 --> 00:38:38,232
-It is really great. I've the smile.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
639
00:38:41,944 --> 00:38:45,572
I can tell by the reactions of crowd,
the crew, the director...
640
00:38:45,739 --> 00:38:47,908
...and if they get a good feeling
and they're saying...
641
00:38:48,075 --> 00:38:51,078
..." That was a good job.
That looked great." I know it did.
642
00:38:53,664 --> 00:38:55,123
And cut.
643
00:38:55,332 --> 00:38:57,459
Cutting. Cut, cut.
644
00:38:57,668 --> 00:39:01,171
After a particularly tough day,
I am so exhausted.
645
00:39:01,380 --> 00:39:06,927
I feel like I've run the marathon,
boxed myself.
646
00:39:07,135 --> 00:39:11,223
And yet there is
an enormous feeling of satisfaction...
647
00:39:11,431 --> 00:39:16,061
...knowing that we took the time
and got the scene.
648
00:39:43,255 --> 00:39:45,048
-Mark.
-Camera mark.
649
00:39:45,507 --> 00:39:47,384
Rolling.
650
00:39:48,260 --> 00:39:50,095
Action.
651
00:39:52,264 --> 00:39:56,268
Now that we've reached the end
of the filming...
652
00:39:56,476 --> 00:40:00,063
...it's just an extraordinary feeling
of exhilaration...
653
00:40:00,272 --> 00:40:04,693
...to have done something
out of the ordinary.
654
00:40:04,902 --> 00:40:08,572
You try to put the best thing forward
that you can and you hope for the best.
655
00:40:08,739 --> 00:40:10,324
I wish there was some good luck charm.
656
00:40:10,532 --> 00:40:14,411
I wish there was this one thing you said,
"Okay, if I rub it twice...
657
00:40:14,620 --> 00:40:17,998
...then you got a show that's gonna run
for at least seven years."
658
00:40:18,206 --> 00:40:20,959
After years of trying to get
this show off the ground...
659
00:40:21,126 --> 00:40:23,587
...and putting all the work
that everybody's putting...
660
00:40:23,795 --> 00:40:25,464
...I'm incredibly proud of everyone...
661
00:40:25,672 --> 00:40:28,634
...and incredibly proud of the show
that we've put together.
662
00:40:28,842 --> 00:40:30,886
And it's been an amazing experience.
663
00:40:31,803 --> 00:40:35,807
You're really lucky when you get
a good group of people who are...
664
00:40:35,974 --> 00:40:41,229
...you know, dedicated fellow artists,
who bring it live and make it happen.
665
00:40:41,438 --> 00:40:43,523
I think the creative team,
from the very beginning...
666
00:40:43,690 --> 00:40:46,151
...has been very sensitive to...
667
00:40:46,318 --> 00:40:49,613
...the importance of historical accuracy,
historical plausibility.
668
00:40:49,821 --> 00:40:53,742
I think they have built it into
the DNA of the show, so to speak.
669
00:40:54,493 --> 00:40:58,330
Negroids who will take away
your hard-earned pay.
670
00:40:58,538 --> 00:41:02,626
We all wanna tell the story the best way
we possibly can, without ego...
671
00:41:02,834 --> 00:41:05,128
...without want of attention.
672
00:41:05,337 --> 00:41:08,465
We just all want the story to be honest.
673
00:41:08,632 --> 00:41:10,342
Make sure that spin happens.
-Yeah.
674
00:41:10,509 --> 00:41:11,927
More so than anything else...
675
00:41:12,094 --> 00:41:14,137
...it's something
that we're all really proud of.
676
00:41:14,346 --> 00:41:15,430
It's a show I would watch.
677
00:41:15,639 --> 00:41:19,059
It's a show I would love to tell
all my friends and family to watch.
678
00:41:19,267 --> 00:41:21,937
My surgeons were extremely impressed.
679
00:41:22,104 --> 00:41:23,271
Luck of the Irish.
680
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,273
Always so modest Cork.
681
00:41:26,316 --> 00:41:31,446
I would say my biggest hope
for this series...
682
00:41:31,613 --> 00:41:36,743
...Is that it shines a light
on a time in America...
683
00:41:37,452 --> 00:41:41,081
...that people don't really think
too much about.
684
00:41:42,374 --> 00:41:46,378
We live in the year 2012, and we think
we're the shit. We think this is it.
685
00:41:46,545 --> 00:41:48,922
A hundred years from now,
people will look back and be like:
686
00:41:49,089 --> 00:41:52,509
"My God. Cute, they had iPhones. Ha, ha."
You know what I mean?
687
00:41:52,718 --> 00:41:56,346
And people back in the day
probably felt very modern too.
688
00:41:56,805 --> 00:41:59,224
People don't think
about history very much anymore.
689
00:41:59,391 --> 00:42:01,768
They don't think about
how we got to where we are.
690
00:42:01,977 --> 00:42:05,063
For the most part, I think audiences
might be able to take away some idea...
691
00:42:05,230 --> 00:42:08,692
...of how their current urban landscape
came into being.
692
00:42:09,317 --> 00:42:15,073
The Five Points, although it doesn't
exist anymore as a specific intersection...
693
00:42:15,282 --> 00:42:18,869
...still lives on in history and imagination.
694
00:42:19,327 --> 00:42:25,042
And as William Faulkner taught us,
the past isn't dead, it isn't even past.
695
00:42:30,589 --> 00:42:36,344
I guess two words for Copper would be...
696
00:42:37,804 --> 00:42:40,015
Um, that's a good question.
697
00:42:40,223 --> 00:42:43,143
Can I get three? Ha, ha, ha.
698
00:42:43,810 --> 00:42:46,104
That's a really interesting question.
699
00:42:46,313 --> 00:42:48,523
Well, "city at war."
You said two words...
700
00:42:48,732 --> 00:42:51,818
...and I couldn't make it two words.
So I was thinking about this all night.
701
00:42:51,985 --> 00:42:53,487
"How am I going to do this?"
702
00:42:53,695 --> 00:42:55,655
"Honest." "Explosive."
703
00:42:55,864 --> 00:42:57,491
"Cops" and "robbers."
704
00:42:57,699 --> 00:43:03,080
"Cops and robbers." That's three words.
Um... L... Two words.
705
00:43:03,246 --> 00:43:05,540
-What did other people say?
-"Gritty" and "real."
706
00:43:06,249 --> 00:43:10,087
Copper in two words for me
would probably be "sex" and "addiction."
707
00:43:10,295 --> 00:43:14,174
"Dirty" and "intriguing."
708
00:43:14,382 --> 00:43:16,551
"Bloody brilliant." Ha, ha, ha.
709
00:43:17,427 --> 00:43:20,430
I already gave you two words.
I don't have two more words.
710
00:43:20,639 --> 00:43:23,475
I would describe Copper
as "mind-boggling."
711
00:43:23,683 --> 00:43:26,061
"Gritty" and "real."
712
00:43:26,269 --> 00:43:29,064
"Raw." "Modern."
713
00:43:29,231 --> 00:43:30,649
"Rich" and "poor."
714
00:43:30,857 --> 00:43:32,776
"Mystery" and "extremes."
715
00:43:32,984 --> 00:43:34,319
"Dirty justice."
716
00:43:34,486 --> 00:43:35,862
"Fungus." Heh.
717
00:43:36,071 --> 00:43:37,364
McCarty.
718
00:43:38,865 --> 00:43:40,367
I got "hairy chest."
719
00:43:46,331 --> 00:43:48,583
Heh, heh. Sorry, guys.
720
00:43:48,834 --> 00:43:50,961
What do you think? No?
-Ha, ha, ha.
