There’s a part where she’s looking into the window and she’s seeing her reflection. You know what’s funny? That wasn’t written in the script. What was in that moment, as far as how you played it? For me, it was a relief rather than a challenge.Ĭlementine studies herself in the window and performs her “reverie,” stroking her lip. It fuels you to use all of your being to reveal that story. Usually, you imagine that emotional are hard to do, but for me, they’re very easy when you have great writing and something with so much meaning behind it. How difficult was it to tap into the scene emotionally? Because there are at least two different sides of the character in the scene: Clementine the victim, and Clementine the warrior.
You’ve seen one side of Clementine, and now you get to see this. Even though she can be delicate and very beautiful, she’s actually incredibly strong. And then what she does, that’s where you see how incredibly strong these hosts really are. What he does to her in the beginning is almost like domestic violence. We started choreographing with Jonah Nolan and the director of the episode, trying to see how we were going to really make it impactful but not jokey. There were these incredible stunt guys, very wonderful. The actual fight, it’s kind of choreographed. Even though the whole thing is manipulated for Charlotte’s benefit they made her do this, she’s not malfunctioning in any way.Ĭan you talk about the rehearsal process for the scene? It’s heartbreaking when you see that initial part of what’s happened to her, but then, as things turn around, there’s this insane adrenaline rush. She’s the least threatening option of possibly all the hosts, because she’s not someone who has hurt anything or anyone in the entire series. That’s probably why they chose to do this with her. She’s the epitome of the prostitute with a heart of gold. She does it for her family, providing for them and supporting them. In this episode, we see why she does that. But it’s incredibly pertinent for the entirety of the series, especially because she’s someone who is constantly giving love. I didn’t know that this would happen with her. When I read this, I thought it was incredibly heartbreaking. All you get is what’s happening in the episode itself. What struck you most when you learned about the development?įirst of all, with each episode, we don’t know where the character’s going to go. 'Westworld' Creators Explain "Terrible," "Devastating" Game-Changing RevealĬlementine’s story in this episode is incredibly tragic, encapsulating the host experience: being used for human benefit. Her self-aware robot pal Maeve ( Thandie Newton) watches in horror as lab technicians lobotomize Clementine, effectively killing her. Due to the “error,” Westworld will need to rebuild its hosts from the ground up over the coming months, beginning with Clementine. Charlotte and Theresa use Clementine as an example of reverie-driven glitches leading to acts of extreme violence, resulting in a bone-breaking battle between Clementine and a host designed to read as human. In order to do this, “the gods demand a blood sacrifice,” and that sacrifice comes in the form of Clementine (Angela Sarafyan), among the Mariposa Saloon and Brothel’s most prominent employees. In the episode, Delos board representative Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson) and Theresa fake a malfunction within the hosts, tied to Robert Ford’s (Anthony Hopkins) reverie program, in order to create a plausible reason to push Ford out of power. But that wasn’t the episode’s only gut punch of a twist. It was a game-changer, as promised, certainly for Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) and Theresa ( Sidse Babett Knudsen). There’s a lot of attention on the final scene of the latest episode of Westworld, called “ Trompe L’Oeil.” And rightfully so.
