This story contains details from the sixth and penultimate Season 2 episode of1923on Paramount+.
In the penultimate episode of1923titled The Mountain Teeth of Monsters, not one butsevencharacters meet their demise.
For most viewers, at least two of the killings should have been welcome.
Michael Spears as Runs His Horse and Aminah Nieves as Teonna.Paramount+
And Sebastian Roches Renaud?
You got what you deserved, padre.)
I got to that page and thats how I found out.
Sebastian Roche as Father Renaud (Paramount+)
So yeah, it was tough.
Lets just keep it at that.
DEADLINE Sebastian, you have to know that viewers would welcome your demise.
SEBASTIAN ROCHEOh, Im all for it.
To tell you the truth, if this was a movie, I think the whole audience would stand.
They would do the wave.
That only adds to the brilliance of Taylor Sheridan in writing such an evil but complex character.
GAUNAOh, absolutely she had to.
SPEARSI wish I did!
Runs His Horse got him!
He should have just started emptying his pistol.
I feel like he wouldve, too.
But Sebastian, hes a beautiful soul.
And Ive never had another actor do that to me.
ROCHEYes, I did.
I was in the presence of people who had generational horrors happen to them.
I think its the least that I could do.
This is the most evil character Ive ever played.
Not only is he evil, but hes based on reality.
During my research, my mouth dropped at the horrors that happened within the residential schools.
GAUNAI get a lot of people saying that they did not know it happened and they couldnt watch it.
They didnt want to deal with it.
Out of sight, out of mind tends to be something that was very frequent.
In todays world, it still exists quite a bit.
Our ancestors dealt with it, and it would give you more perspective and more understanding.
DEADLINE Lets talk about the scene when Renalud kills Runs His Horse.
Thats what youre seeing.
It did something to every single person on that set.
There wasnt a single dry eye in there.
Thats just the blessing of the opportunity that we have to get to share this story.
SPEARSBack then, the sky was the limit for me!
I was looking forward to the character development and what was going to happen.
DEADLINE Darren, Jack never should have left the ranch.
Did you ask how your death helps the story?
MANNI didnt ask, but I had to figure that out for myself.
Hes not so hardened or jaded.
He has such a beautiful, pure view of the world.
Its just unfortunate that a guy like him couldnt survive in a world like that.
I think what he was doing was for the best reason.
He was always trying to do right by what his uncle asks of him.
Hes always saying yes.
He wants to do right by the ranch.
Now hes going to have a kid.
Theres a new sense of feeling like hes needs to protect his kid.This worlds crazy.
Theyre trying to take a ranch.
DEADLINE Sebastian, what was it like shooting your final season with Aminah?
How many times did she have to do that?
ROCHEI think we did three or four takes.
Thats what I really love with our director, Ben Richardson.
The fact that Aminah and I are very close helped even more.
When your scene partner gives you so much, it makes the job all much easier.
And that scene was very dear to my heart.
I was very nervous getting into it.
DEADLINE Your character really did become a little bit odd toward the end.
Was he just trying to lean in to the spirituality to justify his behavior?
What was going on?
ROCHEThere was a real dissent into madness.
This is a man who lives within the rigidity of his religion, within the confines of residential school.
I played it in a way that there was a slow descent into madness.
That scene with Marshal Kent is extraordinary.
I think he needs to get rid of this person who reminds him too much of himself.
DEADLINE So whats going to happen to Teonna?
Will members of the church stop looking for her?
ROCHELets say that the next episode has many surprises.
You are going to be on the edge of your seat.
Its going to be very interesting to see what happens to Teonnas character.
I was in tears.
You never want to end a really good book.
I wish this would go on forever.
It wouldnt for me, anyway, because Im dead.
DEADLINE Darren, whats going to happen with your wife, Elizabeth?
I know this is a beautiful way of life for her.
If she can just see the love in it that Jack saw in it.
I hope that she does and I hope that this pushes her to stay.
