00:00I kind of pushed the script away.

00:02I thought, I don't like this woman.

00:04You told the police that you'd never met my son.

00:13But you had.

00:19It's a really narratively and emotionally important scene

00:23because that's the one time where Nancy gets to observe Catherine.

00:28That two-shot between Kate and Leslie

00:30is my favorite part of the whole show.

00:33There's a rawness to it, that scene.

00:35Especially because for Nancy,

00:37she's got absolutely nothing to lose.

00:40If you want to do the decent thing,

00:42you better speak up now

00:44because this is probably the last chance you'll have.

00:47I like to think I'm a very open person

00:49and I don't need to like my own character.

00:52But when I read the scene,

00:54I kind of pushed the script away.

00:56I thought, I really don't like this woman.

00:58It's actually very, very complicated.

01:00Complicated? Complicated?

01:02No, no, no, no. No, it's not complicated.

01:04That scene becomes this glorious tennis match.

01:08Two very different mothers with a very different agenda.

01:12But both mothers.

01:13Your son is running around above ground

01:15while mine lies rotting beneath.

01:17There's so much about these two characters

01:20that we just understood.

01:22Don't you find it exhausting pretending to be someone you're not?

01:25And I'm sure it'll be interesting for the audience

01:27because they might think,

01:29where are we going to go from here?
