Fleming:One, two and three and eight, nine and 10.
DEADLINE:Ooh so beginning and end.
Fleming:I am the beginning and the end.
I am the Alpha and the Omega.
DEADLINE:What was different going into this season?
This is her world, and she takes things more in stride.
She has more to use a word thats very common today agency.
Shes in touch with herself.
She knows what she wants.
Shes not awkward about it.
This was reflected in the storylines, the relationship with Gabriel isnt just this weird flirtation, it happens.
They start really figuring out, is it possible to make this work?
And their arc this season and a lot happens in the last half too Its very emotionally raw.
Theres this scene one of my favorite scenes, a very simple scene.
And shes like So am I!
And when Lily said that, she screamed it.
Emily doesnt sound like that.
She was connecting to her gut.
DEADLINE:The chiaroscuro style is evident in the masquerade ball scene.
How did you tee up that moment to be when Emily and Gabriel get together?
It was a great sequence on the page, because thats not just one scene.
Its actually a series of 12 or 13 scenes.
And a lot happens at that party, like a lot.
Everybodys life turns around at that party.
Juliens, Lucs, Alfies.
Everybody comes in thinking theyre heading in this direction.
They go out of that party in another direction.
DEADLINE:Did you film at the Roland Garros tournament for the tennis match?
It was a mixture of things.
Some of it was practical with our actors in real time during the winter.
Some of it was really during real Roland Garros, and some of it was done digitally.
Fleming:It all comes down to character, and the set pieces are important.
Its not over, believe me.
Things keep being complicated.
Its a juicy season.
The scripts were really good.
Every script had a lot going on.
There was no break.
Emily and Sylvie seem the closest theyve been this season too.
Fleming:They are, and youll see in part two how that evolves.
Thats a sign that a show has more to give.
DEADLINE:Last thing I want to ask about is filming at Giverny.
How did that unfold?
Fleming:I havent told anybody about this, but it was very complicated to do that.
The actresses, Camille and Lily were on the boats yelling at each other.
Very difficult to maneuver the boats.
We had cables and whatnot.
Im giving away the magic here, but we had two stunt players fall in on location at Giverny.
But then this is the craziest part.
So it was really three completely different like things happening there at that sequence.
It came together well.
Im pleased with it.
I love that scene, and I love the scene after it at the restaurant.
All the actors really delivered.
