Boardwalk Empire - Richard Harrow kills Werner

[@shamusbob7969]

I love the way Richard gives him a chance to say goodbye or something to his kid but when he wastes it trying to buy his way out Richard pulls the trigger.

[@samvansomething]

Not only that, but he punishes him for doing so, by shooting him through the mouth. Harrow, a man who wanted to be loved, was disappointed and disgusted that he didn't take the final opportunity to tell his child that he loved them.

[@listrahtes]

@@samvansomething come on he is a stone cold hire for murder guy. To give him any morality is just silly.

[@shamusbob7969]

​​@@listrahtesthat's not his story. Killing is his curse that he was condemned to when he was situated to the war. People don't always kill in war out of hate or ego, sometimes they kill to keep their own friends alive, out of love. It was very common before all this conditioning and research four people to start killing out of hate or love. Like it or not we're not designed to kill. With militarization being a thing of the modern age we tend to look at killing as a normalized thing. But it isn't

"Boardwalk Empire" had moments of greatness and this scene was definitely one of them. Everything about it is better than what you see in most films. I went searching for this scene because I have never forgotten it and wanted to see if it was as good as I remember. Its actually better. James Riordan is so kick ass in this scene. I noticed a bunch of stuff I didn't the first time. Harrow is one of the great antiheros of all time, betrayed by his country, he become his own country. Agree the scene reminds of "No Country for Old Men" but the acting is what makes it so original. I felt like I was in the room and was just as helpless as mr. werner but, like him, I couldn't do anything but wait for the inevitable. I saw Mr. Riordan in a small role in the Speilberg movie "The Post" and on other tv shows and always remember this scene even though he is always compeltely different which is what acting is IMHO

@@ignacio4159 hmmm idk. Don't get me wrong I get your point. But I feel that sometimes when you take your chance for the ultimate gamble to go your way.

But now he is dead and his kids forever gonna be void of any explanation as to why or to his fathers feelings and any final semblance of wisdom he can offer, or what have you. It's a hard call to make honestly.

[@robosoldier11]

Fletchers Flesh I mean sure. But I’d call those more sporadic consequences then what we’re seeing here. He knows the chances of him dying are pretty high. Given the business and nature of the people he has encountered. If a choice came where you gamble to earn another day vs. never getting to say goodbye. That’s a hard choice to make.

[@robosoldier11]

Fletchers Flesh I think your assumption is pretty high here. What if it turned out he just did it for the sake of his own personal vanity? Doesn’t that kinda make your whole point a bit moot? I just think if your gonna take the risk to work with the mob, which gaining financial security with the mob is not innately a thing. In fact there prob is more of a guarantee you get a bullet to the head either from your own or a rival gang. Regardless I think if the road has come to an end and you see very very little way to slick your way. I’d take that chance to say goodbye rather then go into the void regretting I didn’t do it .

This scene was masterfully done. This actor did an amazing job. You could really feel the tension, panic, sorrow and fear.

[@awkward_tendencies]

Always struck me that Richard shot him in his cheek first. Guy is a trained marksman, and at that distance that could’ve been a clean kill no problem In the middle of Werner’s begging he a points to his son’s birthday card and asks “Can I?” and Richard let’s him write. Instead of a goodbye message he scribbles the name and address of his boss to save his own skin, then is dumb enough to ask “Why?” when Richard shot him Despite his coldness Richard always wished for family of his own. He gave the man a chance to make peace with his son before he went, and he wasted it

Something I noticed on a rewatch is that Harrow almost exclusively aims for the head. I think there was one or two shotgun blasts to the chest. Considering how much work goes into planning gun fight scenes with squibs and the like, I really believe it was a conscious choice. Part of it could be down to the robotic, professional 1 shot 1 kill approach he has, but I do think that pulling a trigger and destroying someone's face must surely have an effect on his character. I associate his headshotting with the scene of him eating breakfast with Jimmy's family, lamenting it's "everything" and he cannot have it due to the damage done to his soul. When he kills Manny, his face is a ruin. When he rescues Tommy, it is a ten ring shooting gallery. Most mobsters in that scene get domed. (even a guy who took a shotgun to the chest.) All that is to say, I think the cheek shot may have been an accident, sub-conscious or possibly intentional. None of that matters, the pause after does. I do think it's related to the fact he was given a chance to pass on something to his child and chose to use the opportunity to further his own life at the expense of showing love to his family. He gave him a small taste of his own fate in expiation.

James Riordan is very impressive in this scene, going from casual to begging for his life with the camera on him the whole time. In other words, if you notice in most shows the camera goes back and forth from person to person, here it just holds on him and he delivers. I am reluctant to post spoilers because not everyone has viewed the season in its entirety but suffice it to say whatever the reason Harrow killed Werner, it is a big turning point for Harrow. I like that Harrow is changed by something he did rather than something that was done to him. I think it is very powerful. If you watch "behind the episode" you will get some insight from the writers into what I am talking about. Season 5, I can't wait.

[@michellemabelleobamalamash7653]

I hope I don't face death this way.

[@patgogan7324]

Make sure you don't have any shady business dealings lol

[@captainpinky8307]

A rather short adventure......

You probably will.

@@lucianakueker6027 It's not a question of want it's a question of fate.

“I know you’re going to die”. Cold quote

[@jamesspooky9488]

I’m surprised he was able to say “why?”. That first shot probably took out his entire upper back teeth and he would have been choking on blood and teeth/bone fragments. I’d rather be shot in the knee than in the side of the face. You will absolutely survive it and you will absolutely wish you hadn’t

[@mattslattery8723]

Powerful Scene. Brilliantly acted by this guy James Riordan who I believe is from the UK? as is Jack Huston. Season 4 of Boardwalk Empire has just started broadcasting in the UK and the first episode indicates great things. Hope there is plenty of Harrow in this season. Epic character.

[@blokestream236]

Video starts with "Mr Werner?..." Oh shit, based on the title I know where this is going :

[@FreezinFury]

Werner... "You don't know anything about me !" Harrow... "You are the kid that used to shine shoes"

[@zerocool1344]

If you're in business always have a gun

[@devinpetersen2387]

Mr. Werner should have kept his yap shut after being shot once. He might have lived if Harrow thought the first shot killed him.

[@2253glen]

Pretty close to the sound of a real silencer. Oops, suppressor.

[@mdd1963]

Not sure how many threaded 1911 barrels were available in that era...; although I suppose one could have an endcap fabricated to function as the 1911's barrel bushing....

[@praetor9822]

Harrow's the silencer. He's using a suppressor.

Don't beg. Hide a weapon and fight.

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

That was some great acting.

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

Harrow was a great character, but he was a bit of a sadist. He dragged this hit out and made Werner suffer a bit more than was necessary.

[@heuristicalgorithm8465]

he shoots him at the completely wrong angles for those wounds 🤣

[@jamielancaster01]

That was pretty personal he wanted him to suffer before he killed him.

[@johnmartlew5897]

He turns the desk light out before he leaves. We see his hand go there. That’s all. Next shot, the light is out.

[@CommanderLongJohn]

Should've at least had him open up the safe 🤷‍♀️ I mean back then $5,000 is roughly $75,000 by today's standards.. and back then that money could get you a hell of a lot farther

2:47 The Sing-A-Lamp The lamp that sings when you turn it off!

[@davidmalik9821]

Wow! One of the most intense scenes I have ever seen in a film.

[@MajorT0m]

Wow such a realistic silenced gunshot sound, they obviously did their research instead of following the tired old trope of it making an absurd noise like an old monitor being degaussed.

[@blakkat4126]

You have to give credit for the exceptional acting by the man who played Werner.

[@tehf00n]

Imagine surviving that first bullet. Harsh.

[@barfymann362]

Turning off the lamp at the end was a great touch.

[@CaptainPancakes]

"Why?" Good question Mr. Werner, this storyline wasn't very clear. They sorta set-it up it like a side-story with Richard. Who was Mr. Werner and why did Harrow kill him? Been awhile since I saw Season 4 so I have no clue.

[@northwestprof60]

That ended up on the cutting room floor. Actually there is a lot of background missing from some episodes. That's the problem of multiple directors & trying to fit stuff into time slots

[@nikigowing6563]

1:38 ... when I look at that face .. I hear the black bird sing

No show in the history of television has had more people shot in the cheek than Boardwalk Empire.

[@jackashmore]

Werner did everything to save his secretary’s life

[@ricksimon9867]

Fun fact: Rollerblades (with the wheels behind each other) were invented as early as 1760. Rollers skates (2+2 wheels) came 100 years later.

[@volsdeep9395]

Richard reminds me a lot of Anton Chigurh in this scene. Two of the scariest killers on TV I’ve ever seen.
