00:00 - Burgess being trapped down in that well

00:02 would have been a nightmare scenario

00:04 even without the post-traumatic stress.

00:06 So how did you approach that whole sequence

00:09 and was it as cramped as it looked?

00:12 - You know, it was tight.

00:13 I mean, you're in water in a uniform trying to act

00:17 and you can't really leave the well

00:19 and there's a lot of people there.

00:21 So I'm just glad I wasn't claustrophobic.

00:23 That would have added a whole nother level to the PTSD.

00:23 - Was it as tight as the train?

00:25 - It's tighter than the train.

00:28 - Yeah, but I mean, but they had the ability

00:30 to move the walls, right?

00:31 Like on the train.

00:32 - No, no.

00:33 The train was bad.

00:35 There's a thing sticking out of the train

00:37 that I ripped my pants on every time.

00:40 Not like a little rip.

00:41 And there was, they tried to pat it,

00:43 but you could tell 'cause I'm in that little space.

00:45 So every time I completely tore the pocket off my pants.

00:49 They both were, neither was comfortable.

00:51 Let's just say that.

00:52 Neither was comfortable.

00:54 - Do you wanna be wet

00:56 or do you wanna be sopped in fake blood?

00:59 - I mean, I would take off my clothes every night

01:01 and I would just have blossoming bruises from like,

01:05 and I'd be like, I don't know what that's from.

01:07 It looks like it hurt.

01:08 - Yes, on the train it seemed like Burgess

01:12 chose a very poor day to wear a white sweater.

01:15 - You know, that was a, if you'll recall,

01:18 which I don't know if anyone will,

01:19 but like that's exactly the shirt I was wearing essentially

01:22 when I got shot.

01:24 And so it was supposed to,

01:27 we were supposed to have a crane shot

01:28 that actually went up like the time I was shot,

01:31 but the ceiling on the train drops down

01:35 exactly in that point that I am.

01:36 So we weren't able to get the shot.

01:39 That was Chad wasn't that he wanted.

01:41 I mean, it still worked out beautifully,

01:42 but he wasn't able to get that shot,

01:44 but it was supposed to sort of bring me back

01:46 in a way as well.

01:48 It was supposed to sort of help the journey,

01:50 but those are little golden eggs that only like-

01:54 - Easter eggs.

01:55 - Easter eggs, yeah.

01:56 - Well, it was cramped for you in the train.

01:59 Patti, what was it like for you filming out

02:01 in the tunnel for the L sequence?

02:05 - Oh, it was good.

02:07 I think she had it a lot tougher on the train.

02:09 I mean, that day,

02:10 actually when we were on the train,

02:14 I was like, I was fairly sick.

02:16 So I was not sick when we were filming in the tunnel.

02:19 So I was like, my whole experience changed dramatically.

02:24 - Dramatically.

02:25 - Dramatically, drastically and dramatically combined

02:28 becomes dramatically.

02:30 It was great.

02:30 It was interesting.

02:32 It was kind of fun to see how the sausage is made,

02:35 as far as the CTA is concerned.

02:37 Not quite as fun, I think, for the crew

02:42 who had to push all of their equipment

02:46 for about a quarter to a half a mile down the tracks,

02:49 over gravel, over train tracks.

02:52 And there's a lot of safety regulations.

02:55 The CTA obviously has to make sure

02:57 that everybody's doing their due diligence.

02:59 You know, there's the third rail,

03:00 which is, you know, you look at the third rail

03:04 and you're gonna get shocked to death.

03:05 So it was an intense day for the crew.

03:10 The poor background, God bless you,

03:13 if you're watching this and you did background that day,

03:15 or any of those days, thank you.

03:18 'Cause not only did they work really hard and kill it,

03:21 there was no bathroom.

03:25 It was crazy.

03:27 So really it was more logistical.

03:30 The shooting was fun and interesting

03:34 and you could see how beautiful and dramatic

03:37 it was gonna look on camera.

03:39 It was more the logistics of it

03:40 that were difficult for everybody around me.

03:43 For me, I had it pretty easy,

03:46 other than having to jog to the bathroom a couple of times,

03:51 you know, a million miles away.

03:53 But they let me go.

03:55 The other people, you know,

03:58 they're looking at corners and bottles.
