RELATED STORIES

Clarice Starling is no stranger to danger, but after Thursday’s episode, she might think twice the next time she decides to fly solo. (Eh, who are we kidding?)

After a search for Marilyn Felker (a.k.a., the leader of the clinical trial that the murdered women participated in) led Clarice to sister Luanne Felker’s medical facility, Starling found herself pumped full of psychotic drugs and chained to a hospital bed by none other than Marilyn, herself. Not being able to tell reality from psychosis, Starling’s trauma and PTSD ran rampant in her brain as she struggled to figure out how to escape the newfound horror show she found herself in. And while she wasn’t actually trapped in Buffalo Bill’s pit of despair, she might as well have been, seeing as she was once again in a fight for her life at the hand of a mad(wo)man.

Below, TVLine speaks with series lead Rebecca Breeds about Clarice’s traumatic past, the torture she endured during her imprisonment and how the Aussie actress learned to speak that tricky Appalachian dialect.

TVLINE | Clarice goes through absolute hell in Episode 5. Even though you’re mostly bed-ridden throughout, was this episode difficult to shoot?
REBECCA BREEDS | This episode nearly killed me. [Laughs] It was so intense because even the times when I’m just lying in bed, the psychological trauma she’s going through is extreme. And then there’s all the pulling myself around on the floor in a drug stupor, paralyzed from the waist down… it was a very intense episode physically, emotionally, everything. It took so much of me and it was just so rewarding at the end of the day. You start the day off with these pages going, “How the hell are we going to do this? How am I going to act that and do that truthfully?” So much of it was stuff I’d never experienced. Line by line, moment by moment, I just threw myself into it with complete abandon. Every single part of this episode to me was like jumping off a cliff, like “I don’t know how to do this, but let’s go!”

As an actress, I went to places I couldn’t have conjured with my rational intellect. It was very much an instinctive experience and at the end of every day, I went home completely spent but so satisfied, like “Whoa, I did that today and I think it came out really good, and I’m really proud of that.” It was a huge learning experience for me.

Clarice Season 1 Episode 5 TVLINE | We see a lot of Clarice’s trauma manifest itself through the dreams and visions she has. I’m curious: Is it her trauma that drives her or is she simply running away from it?
BREEDS | Such a good question! It’s a really great thing to ask because we’re at a point in the show where she doesn’t know yet. I think that’s one of the reasons why she avoids dealing with her trauma because what if it is the thing that’s driving her? What if it is the thing that makes her good at her job? It’s like a really good musician. Once you find the love of your life and there’s no drama anymore, are you still going to be able to write a good song? If you feel like greatest hits are all break-up songs, what happens?

I think that’s part of her resistance to looking this stuff in the face. Will she completely fall apart? Maybe. Will she lose some of her drive or her efficacy as an agent? Is she going to be a better agent than ever? They’re all very real things she doesn’t know the answer to, and there could be some sacrifice there once she heals and deals with the trauma and puts it aside. What’s it going to take for her to finally say that maybe my well-being is more important than my job? I think we’re at a point where we’re pushing to a boiling point, where she might start to think that, but she’s not there yet.

TVLINE | Why is it that Clarice always seems to work by herself, despite all of the danger she gets herself into? What is it about her past or her makeup that makes her a bit of a loner?
BREEDS | I think she’s a martyr, for sure. She would rather put herself in danger than endanger others — because the whole point is to rescue people, to silence the lambs, not to put more people in harm’s way — and I don’t think she has a high self-value. She’s like, “Well, if I die, I die… I don’t want to put Ardelia or Esquivel in danger,” or “This could be nothing, I’m just following a hunch.” I don’t think she necessarily anticipates things to go as dark as they do. A lot of the times she’s just using her initiative and chasing a lead. I do that in my life often. I’m like, “Hey, I’ll just do it and show them how clever I am!” [Laughs]

[Clarice is thinking], “There are important stakes here, we have to save these people, more people could be getting killed, let’s just get on with it!” I think on an even deeper level, subconsciously, her dad worked alone as a nightwatchman. He got out there and did the job. He’s her hero and she wants to emulate him. He looked darkness in the face every night and he got on with his job, and she likes to think that she can do the same.

TVLINE | I really liked the final scene in this episode between Clarice and Ardelia. Are the two friends going to be able to patch things up?
BREEDS | I think beyond patching it up, they’re perhaps in a state of evolution. I think they’re going to have real chats… it’s real talk time! They’re going on this journey together and I think with their sense of family and friendship, they are committed to having the hard talks and eating the humble pie. They’re committed to learning and growing together, and when you do that your love only grows deeper. We get to witness that evolution, that journey, which is nice, but hard. It hurts, but it’s for the greater good, I think.

TVLINE | Lastly, you absolutely nail the West Virginian accent. How difficult was it to get that down?
BREEDS | Actually, the broad strokes of it came so quickly. I listened to a couple Appalachian accents on YouTube, and then I tried them and they just sat so well in my mouth, I don’t know why. There were a few exercises like “I might fly my kite” and “I thought I caught that dog,” and a couple of mouth positions. It happened in a couple of hours. From there, it was just a matter of gentle finessing, so I worked with a coach and he helped me with pronunciations and bits and pieces. Then, I just applied it to the work, and it really brought the character home for me. Getting the accent was a game changer.

RELATED STORIES

Season 3 of Cobra Kai turned up the heat on the rivalry front, but the dojos’ greatest challenge is yet to come.

After some soul-searching took Daniel to Japan and Johnny to… well, a bar stool, a visit from an old friend helped the two at-odds senseis bury the hatchet. Following another knockabout showdown with Cobra Kai, Johnny’s new Eagle Fang dojo and Daniel’s Miyagi-Do group finally united against John Kreese’s violent gang of ruffians and “no mercy” teachings. As a bloody exchange of fists between the students razed the LaRusso home, Kreese, Johnny and Daniel agreed to settle things the old fashioned way: with a karate tournament, of course!

Here, executive producers and co-showrunners Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg break down the season, including Daniel and Johnny’s new partnership, Kreese’s traumatic backstory, the show’s portrayal of bullying and whether Season 4 will be the final battle for the soul of the Valley.

TVLINE | Did you always plan for the third season to end with Johnny and Daniel’s union? And why is this point in the story the right time for them to squash their beef? I can’t imagine it’ll be completely smooth sailing for them.
HEALD | Giving them this moment was something we’ve always known was coming. We always felt like this was the time for it to happen, but we are doing it in a way where we’ve also established who these characters are. They’re both very strong minded in their own philosophies, ideals and pasts. There does appear to be a very distinct battle ahead, a very clear boundary and set of circumstances that have brought them to this moment, but time will tell if history repeats itself and they fall back into old habits again, or if they’re going to be able to weather the storm and lean into each other to do the hard work of what it is to form a partnership.

TVLINE | The end of the Kreese flashback gave us some much needed background on Cobra Kai‘s biggest bad guy. Why does he still have such a stake in the dojo, even after all these years?
HURWITZ | Cobra Kai is in his blood. He founded Cobra Kai. It was important for us to take this character you’ve known all these years — who is just simply bad… he’s Darth Vader, he’s evil — and understand where a guy like that comes from. A guy who routinely talks about “no mercy.” Why is that so important to him? We meet him in Season 3 before Vietnam and see that he was an underdog in his own right, perhaps with a more tragic life than, say, Daniel or Miguel had. Dealing with the situations he dealt with over there, and having that experience of showing mercy and seeing that the world doesn’t necessarily reward good behavior… it had a profound impact on him. It was a traumatizing experience that he carries with him to this day.

We’ve always asked, “Why would John Kreese start a karate dojo?” From the beginning it was because he believes he has something to offer young people, life lessons he thinks are important for these kids to know, to defend themselves in life. In his mind, he’s teaching people what’s necessary to get through life. Seeing that Cobra Kai was back brought that spirit back in him. He had given up on life in a lot of ways. Then, having a front row seat seeing Johnny changing some of the core elements that he thinks are important to Cobra Kai was too much to take. He’s as determined as he was when he started the dojo many years ago to educate the youth of the Valley to be prepared for the world they’re going to have to deal with.

Cobra Kai Season 3 KreeseTVLINE | At the end of the finale, Kreese reached out to his old army buddy Terry for help. Has that role been cast yet and, if so, who will be playing him?
HURWITZ | Just because Kreese reached out to somebody, doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s returning to the show. That said, on our show, we try to bring back the original actor who played characters in the past as much as possible. We all loved the character of Terry Silver in The Karate Kid 3 and his portrayal by Thomas Ian Griffith, so if that character was to return for Season 4, we’d hope that he’d be the one playing him.
SCHLOSSBERG | There’s no confirmation, anything can happen, really. But I will say: If you do love Terry Silver, this is probably the best show to tune into to see if he does show up. [Laughs] But we can’t promise anything at this point because it’s all a mystery.

TVLINE | Why was Daniel’s trip back to Okinawa important for his storyline, and how did it help prepare him for the drama that unfolded at the end?
SCHLOSSBERG | The legacy of Mr. Miyagi is a big part of his psyche, and to see the Miyagi name tarnished as a result of what happened at the school… he bears that responsibility. He’s just an emotional wreck more than ever and needed Mr. Miyagi’s help. There are different ways to connect to the past. There’s prayer, there’s going to a cemetery, and for some people, it’s taking a trip to connect with their roots. Mr. Miyagi’s homeland of Okinawa is the birthplace of Miyagi-Do karate to Daniel, so it really provided the emotional and psychological answers to his questions.

By connecting with some of those characters from Karate Kid Part II, particularly Kumiko, she’s able to give him insight into Mr. Miyagi’s mind. Sometimes when you get older and you go through your parents’ belongings if they’ve passed away, you’ll see something of theirs and realize something about them that you didn’t think of as a kid. We always liked this idea that Daniel looked at Mr. Miyagi as this wise all-knowing force that had all the answers to everything, and when Kumiko reads the letter to him, he realizes Mr. Miyagi didn’t have all the answers, and that Daniel was actually the thing that solved his life. He realizes it’s OK to not have all the answers to everything. Mr. Miyagi didn’t.

Cobra Kai Season 3TVLINE| Were there any discussions behind the scenes about how far you wanted to take the bullying aspects on the show?
SCHLOSSBERG | We want the show to work in the same way The Karate Kid worked, both in a classic bullying sense, but also in a modern way. From the very beginning in Season 1, we incorporated aspects of cyber bullying, whether it’s body shaming or slut shaming, things that are maybe more contemporary topics even though they’ve been going on for years. We want it to be relevant and universal, that really creates the frustration in the audience of like, “God, I feel bad for these kids. I want them to overcome.” That’s the magic of The Karate Kid. It’s this underdog story.

The themes of bullying were tied into this story when we first pitched Cobra Kai to Ralph Macchio. It’s not just to bring back all of the characters that we like and find a fun Kreese backstory; it’s because this subject matter is as relevant as it’s ever been. This story and franchise are very cathartic to people who are going through that. You don’t want to disturb people too much where they can’t keep watching the show, but life can be disturbing sometimes. It’s not just the physical abuse, it’s the mental abuse. Kids can become suicidal because of these things. We don’t want to be too afraid to touch upon subjects, but we try to be careful. Typically five minutes later, there’s some comedy, too. We go back and forth between having fun, but also touching on the serious themes of bullying.

TVLINE | In terms of Johnny calling his students “pansies” or the “penis breath” cracks, did you ever have any plans of adding an LGBTQ character to illuminate the damage that sort of language could cause?
HURWITZ | We talk about all kinds of characters to add to the world and think about how they would respond or react to the mentality that Johnny has — sort of this unfrozen caveman, ’80s guy — and to contrast his verbiage with how today’s youth responds to it and the impact it can have. So, absolutely we’ve talked about adding characters from that community, and frankly, all different types of teenagers that aren’t necessarily represented.
SCHLOSSBERG | Miguel, in some ways, even though he’s not a gay character, represents the modern take and counterpoint. Sometimes Johnny doesn’t let him speak, which is part of the problem. In the very first lesson, Miguel calls him out for saying, “You don’t want to be a p-ssy, you gotta have balls.” Right away Miguel’s like, “Uh, I think you’re gender stereotyping here?” and Johnny’s like, “Quiet!” Our hope is that the audience can tell from the students’ perspective that we’re aware that Johnny is behind the times. It hasn’t come to that place where [the bullying] has affected anybody in particular, but that’s something that’s always a possibility to explore further as seasons go on and we get to know more students.

TVLINE | The show is already renewed for Season 4, but have you thought about where the series might go beyond that?
HEALD | We have an endgame in our heads. We’ve had one for quite some time, and it’s not in Season 4. It’s well beyond that. In our minds, we have seasons’ worth of story that is necessary to tell before we get to that endgame. That will be a discussion going forward with our new partners at Netflix. Can we write to that endgame? Can we know that it’s coming? That’s not always the case with television and we respect that. For now, we’re continuing to write at the same speed and with the same path that we set out with from the beginning.

Now it’s your turn! Grade the finale and season below, then drop all your Season 3 thoughts in the Comments!

Growing up in the rough neighborhoods of West Philadelphia, Lee Daniels always knew he was different from other kids. Despite losing his father at a young age and witnessing violence almost daily, Daniels believed he would to do something big.

And he was right. Today, Daniel’s is one of Hollywood’s leading writers, producers and directors. With Academy Award-winning films like “Monster’s Ball” and “Precious,” and critical darlings like “The Butler,” Daniels has managed to conquer both the independent and mainstream sides of Hollywood.

How did this gay Black man shatter stereotypes in the entertainment industry and overcome a traumatic upbringing to build a distinguished career? Not only has he found success — he’s created a cultural phenomenon.

“When I came to Hollywood, I was homeless, and then AIDS hit,” Daniels says. “My lovers were dying around me.” But that’s what makes Daniels such an authentic storyteller — the people he creates on screen are real. “As a director, I use those experiences,” he says.

In February 2015, Don Smith, 25, slipped, fell and struck his head while walking back to his home in McAdoo, Pennsylvania, after a party at the fire hall in the neighboring town of Tresckow. The Penn State psych major spent the next nine hours unconscious in a snow bank on a night when temperatures plunged to minus-4 degrees Fahrenheit. When emergency responders reached Smith the next morning, he was frozen solid, with no heartbeat, pulse or brain activity.

At Lehigh Valley Hospital in nearby Hazelton, an ER team performed CPR on Smith for two hours while slowly warming his body in preparation for an 18-minute medevac flight to the LVH in Allentown. There, doctors used an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine to pump warm, highly oxygenated blood through the unconscious man’s system. Within a few hours, Smith’s heart started beating on its own. A few days later, his brain showed normal activity. And a month after that, a neurologist noticed Smith’s eyes tracking him during an examination. Although Smith lost his toes and both pinkies to gangrene, he otherwise made a complete recovery.

Tisherman’s team lowers body temperature to 50 degrees Fahrenheit by replacing all of the body’s blood with a cold saline solution.

Case histories like this have long tantalized researchers: What are the outer limits of survival? Can humans be placed in suspended animation and successfully revived? Or, more pragmatically, is it possible to rapidly cool trauma patients to well below normal body temperatures, thereby enabling their brains to survive without blood flow while surgeons treat life-threatening injuries? Ten or 20 years ago, this procedure was being tested in labs, and now it’s being used in clinical studies on humans in the U.S., as well as in Germany and other European countries. In China, doctors plan to use the technique to prevent neurological damage during the first human head transplant.

Known as therapeutic or induced hypothermia, this technique is now of particular interest to the military, given that soldiers and marines who might otherwise survive wounds in remote locations often die before reaching field hospitals. If these studies show positive results, then induced hypothermia or similar treatments may be deployed in combat settings, perhaps in forward surgical units and teams or even in helicopters used to evacuate the wounded. The benefits could extend well beyond the military to civilian life. According to a recent report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 46. The report estimates that optimal care could have prevented up to 20 percent of the 147,790 U.S. deaths from trauma in 2014 — nearly 30,000 lives saved. “There have been pretty remarkable anecdotes and isolated cases of someone being resuscitated, or ‘brought back,’ after injury in a situation where they had been cooled,” says Col. Todd E. Rasmussen, director of the Department of Defense Combat Casualty Care Research Program, based in Fort Detrick, Maryland. “I think all of that has culminated in an interest now in trauma and injury.”

So much so that the Department of Defense is funding the Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation for Cardiac Arrest from Trauma (EPR-CAT) Study, which is led by Dr. Samuel A. Tisherman at UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh. Tisherman is the director of the Center for Critical Care and Trauma Education and the director of the Surgical ICU at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Starting in early 2016, he and his team began screening the ER’s incoming patients, looking for a certain kind of trauma victim who arrived while the trained staff was on site — one with gunshot or knife wounds and bleeding to the point of cardiac arrest. Although the penetrative wounds of such trauma victims usually are reparable, these patients have about a 10 percent chance of survival. Tisherman and his team will treat 10 patients with their extreme cold cure, review their data and procedures, and then enroll an additional 10 subjects. A control patient is enrolled for each patient undergoing the hypothermia treatment.

The EPR-CAT is a continuation of work Tisherman began 20 years ago, when he participated in preclinical studies at the University of Pittsburgh’s Safar Center for Resuscitation Research, which demonstrated the feasibility of induced hypothermia. His current study is the first time the treatment is being used on trauma patients. Tisherman’s team lowers body temperature to 50 degrees Fahrenheit by replacing all of the body’s blood with a cold saline solution that is administered via a tube called a cannula inserted into the aorta, which is the body’s largest artery. “Cooling decreases the body’s need for oxygen and blood flow,” Tisherman says. “CPR isn’t going to work on a trauma patient who has bled to the point of cardiac arrest, because there’s not enough blood to circulate.”

The induced hypothermia is designed to give doctors about an hour to stop the bleeding and operate without worrying about brain damage from lack of blood flow. (At normal body temperatures, that window usually is less than five minutes.) Once the patient is stabilized, the team uses a heart-lung bypass machine with a heat exchanger to gradually restore blood circulation, oxygenation and body temperature as part of the resuscitation process.

Tisherman’s work on the EPR-CAT is part of an international effort to improve the survival rates of patients in shock. According to Rasmussen, the reasons the U.S. is supporting the study include the maturity of science, the success of previous lab trials and the need for medical advances given the number of casualties in the country’s decade-long conflicts. “Part of what’s pushed this over the threshold to say ‘Now is the time to study it’ is the burden of injuries from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,” Rasmussen says. “I would say that’s been a big impetus.”

In the EPR-CAT study, it is expected that patients will take anywhere from several hours to several days to regain consciousness once the cold saline solution is flushed from their veins and replaced with blood and their core temperatures are elevated. Since patients selected for the study are unable to give informed consent due to their traumatic wounds, the work is being conducted under the FDA’s exception from informed consent rules, which include community consultation and public notification.

Some medical ethicists ask what happens if a test subject remains in a vegetative state? Given the lousy odds of survival for the trauma victims enrolled in the EPR-CAT study, it would seem logical to assume that most patients would gladly roll the dice and go with the ice. And yet a 2006 study in the Journal of Medical Ethics found that up to 70 percent of patients surveyed were not willing to participate in resuscitation studies that relied on exception from informed consent. The study noted that it is “difficult to know whether that right to conduct scientific research can ever override the principle of patient autonomy.”

A soldier or marine bleeding out far from base may be less concerned about patient autonomy. “We’ve seen [battlefield deployment] with other advances such as blood and blood products, which used to just be in hospitals but now we use in pre-hospital settings and on helicopters,” Rasmussen says. “EPR-CAT has that sort of capability.”

David MacIntyre is a trauma surgeon who was on call on Sunday at the trauma unit in Las Vegas’ Sunrise Hospital. Due to its proximity to the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest festival, Sunrise took on more critical patients than any other facility in Las Vegas. In an interview on Tuesday, MacIntyre told me how the night played out from his perspective. His account has been lightly edited and condensed for clarity.

I’m the trauma surgeon on call, so I’m physically in house for 24 hours. Around 10:00 we got a page that we had a mass casualty shooting on the Strip, and we all mobilized to the trauma bay. Once we got to the trauma bay, people started showing up. We activated, called the other surgeons to come in, and everybody mobilized very quickly.

I didn’t expect this volume. I didn’t expect to see 214 people show up.

There were a lot of gunshot wounds to the head and chest. Those are the first ones I saw. These are the people that were scooped up by the citizens here in Las Vegas in their vans and their pickup trucks. They drove them up here to the hospital very quickly. Those are the first ones we saw. Then the ambulances started coming in. They had three or four people in each of the ambulances that they were dropping off.

Of the 214 patients, there were around 137 treated and released. A majority of these are the ones we took to the operating room: 10 gunshot wounds to the head, we had eight chests they went to the operating room, we had 13 abdominal wounds that went to the operating room, we had 17 orthopedic injuries that went to the operating, and then we had 33 others. Those are like wounds to the neck or to the major extremities.

The first that came in was a gunshot wound to the head and chest. Then I had 10 more patients. Then I had another 10. It was really fast. It felt like seconds.

Being triage, it’s very quick. I ask you, “What’s your name?” You’re not talking to me and you’re not breathing—you’re immediately going to get intubated and we’re going to figure out what’s wrong with you. Those that were stable and talking and answered my questions—that were breathing—we would prop them up and then we’d put them over in an area and we made them comfortable, and we focused on those that weren’t talking to us, intubating them and putting chest tubes in, delegating to the operating room or to the intensive care unit.

I was triage, so I just directed everybody to the operating room. I’d say I saw at least 70 or 80 people in the first hour. Then the ER doctors had their walking wounded, the gunshot wounds to the arms and legs—they didn’t have any major injuries to the head, or chest, or belly. Those all came to me.

All the injuries that I saw were things that I’ve been trained to deal with. We just had so many of them—that’s the part that really was overwhelming.

sunrise hospital las vegasBryan Steffy/Getty ImagesWe’ve had gang violence, gang members shooting one another. But we would get four, or five, maybe 10 total and that would be it. This was 191 people, like that. I’ve gone through many classes on mass casualty. You don’t think about it. You hone in. But I started getting nervous, say, three, four hours into it. I was like, People are still coming in.

This was the largest mass [shooting] incident in the entire history of the United States and we were able to absorb all those patients into our center. A lot of talented people came together and rose to the occasion. It was amazing. I mean from housekeeping to neurosurgery, all doing one thing.

We did have a police officer that we lost. That was probably the hardest thing I saw. The police department was in there with him—they didn’t leave him. We had a morgue set up by the operating room. They had one officer in full uniform holding the American flag folded up, and he stood with that downed officer the entire time he was with us. We had 15 fatalities and some of those were dead on arrival so they never went through the triage on my side—they were already gone.

It’s stressful work, and in order to avoid burnout, Lang has set aside time for what he calls his “adventure” periods: He’s worked as a hospitality manager in the Virgin Islands and a teacher in Los Angeles.

But Lang says it was his first job, working as a firefighter throughout college and law school, that taught him the most about compassion, grief, and advocating for others. Now, Lang says that mentoring young lawyers and interns is the highlight of his job, and his firefighting days influence the way he goes about that. I spoke with Lang about his work relationships for The Atlantic’s series “On the Shoulders of Giants.” The following interview has been edited and condensed.

Elisha Brown: What lessons did you learn from your work as a firefighter, and how do those lessons influence how you work with others?

Robert Lang: I left with post-traumatic stress because of kids I couldn’t save. It involved hallucinations, panic attacks, insomnia, and nightmares. I was suicidal. The lessons I learned from the fire department, and the key thing I apply to mentoring, is that we’re not guaranteed any time on Earth. When I start working with interns, at the beginning I tell them that we have very little time together, and we have to treat every day as if it was precious.

Brown: When did you realize that you enjoyed mentoring and were good at it?

Lang: After I became a lawyer, I worked for Legal Aid in Iowa. I was good at bringing people together to build a strong team. I recognized right away that I enjoyed mentoring people and helping them become the best that they could be. I always consider mentorship a sacred trust. People are trusting you with some of their life in hopes that you can help them develop what they want to do and be.

Brown: And how do you help in that development?

Lang: I try to make sure their mentorship or internship isn’t transactional, which is what most internships are. What I want to do is help people to see that they’re not just novices with nothing to offer. They’ve got a unique life experience that they’re bringing. They need to capitalize on that and bring to bear the skills they’ve already developed.

Brown: Do you think your mentorship skills get recognized in your line of work?

Lang: Roger Forman, a former boss of mine, once wrote me a letter of recommendation. The first line said, “No matter what office Bob Lang works in, he will never be the best lawyer in that office, but he will leave the biggest hole when he moves on.” That taught me that people in offices have different roles. When I’m working with my interns and law students, I can pick out what role they’ll play in the office after I get to know them a little bit. There’s the academician, the person who loves to do research, the advocate, the one who’s really good at going to court. Another one is the role I was in—which I didn’t know until Roger told me—which was the person who’s the unifier of the team.

Brown: What specific qualities do you look for in young law students and interns?

Lang: I want them to have a good heart. They demonstrate a good heart to me if they have volunteered to help other people on their own time. When we’re dealing with social justice, the clients have had the world dropped on them. I can’t teach anybody how to care about those people—I can teach them the law, but I can’t teach them compassion.

Rooney Mara, Ben Mendelsohn, and Riz Ahmed are some of the most intriguing talents in the indie and arthouse movie scene today, so the prospect of all three of them appearing in a movie together is pretty exciting, to say the least.

The movie is called Una and the trailer for this sordid drama plays out shades of Lolita and Girl on the Train, balancing psychosexual thriller elements with some good old-fashioned domestic drama. I’m not quite sure what to make of it, but again, I would watch Mara, Mendelsohn, and Ahmed read a phone book.

Mara has long played the quietly suffering wife or love interest, but Una turns that character type on its head, as Mara’s character seeks out the older man who abused her as a lovestruck teen.

The trailer heavily mirrors shots from Adrian Lyne’s version of Lolita, as flashbacks to the 13-year-old Una and Ray’s (Mendelsohn) twisted past interplay with the two characters’ tense reunion. Oddly, the trailer doesn’t make it entirely clear at first that Ray was a pedophile who preyed on a young Una — I thought for a long time while watching the trailer that he was playing her father who abandoned her — nor does it make clear Una’s intentions in seeking out Ray again. Does she want to expose him to his new wife and daughter? Rekindle their relationship? Seek her revenge? The one thing that is for certain is that there’s an uncomfortable chemistry between Mara’s Una and Mendehlson’s Ray, while poor Ahmed’s Scott witnesses it from the sidelines. The film feels very much like a modern reinterpretation of the future of Lolita, exploring the psyche of a girl damaged and victimized by an older man.

Una is based on the Tony Award-winning play Blackbird by David Harrower, who also penned the screenplay for the film. The play was supposedly inspired by real-life sex offender Toby Studebaker, who groomed and abducted a 12-year-old girl through the Internet.

Here’s the synopsis for Una, which is directed by Benedict Andrews:

“Una” follows a young woman’s journey to reclaim her past. Fifteen years earlier, Una ran away with an older man, Ray, a crime for which he was arrested and imprisoned. When she comes across a photo of him in a trade magazine, Una tracks him down and turns up at his workplace. Her abrupt arrival threatens to destroy Ray’s new life and derail her stability. Unspoken secrets and buried memories surface as Una and Ray sift through the wreckage of their past.

Una opens in New York theaters on October 6. It will hit Los Angeles theaters on October 13.
