Then, brought back to reality, the same song but quieter/more realistic on the radio. There’s no going back. She sealed her fate the minute she got into that car. And maybe deep down she knew something was off.

Had she continued, somewhere in the near future, though not attempting to, she could have put away all of the major people. This is why she was whacked. Men have honor and what have you because women don't get involved, they don't say anything, but Adrianna did, so this no longer counts for her.

@Molly Evans She had already talked to the feds.. Which is what started this whole arc with Chrissy betraying her to Tony. Chrissy was still loyal to the mob/Tony because he couldn't picture a life without being in the mafia. She was as good as dead once Tony found out she was an actual informant.

[@steves1015]

@SupremePrestige “They don’t kill ya for nothing.” I beg to differ. On the show pretty much everyone in the life was either a target for assassination or actually assassinated. Some for hardly any infraction. And some were allowed to get away with things that others got killed for. Same goes irl - Salvie Testa was a loyal soldier of Little Nicky Scarfo but Scarfo had him executed because he was paranoid Testa would rise up mainly because a job Scarfo had asked him to do was done “too” well. Jimmy Burke murdered or had murdered members of his own crew because he didn’t want to give them a share of the Lufthansa heist (not all of them spent the money irrationally as Goodfellas portrays). Anthony Spilotro ordered a hit on is long time friend Frank Cullotta because he thought he might rat (even though Cullotta had shown no signs before then) and ironically this information actually turned Cullotta into an informant. Same for scores of others. Honestly, seriously look into the real life of it all, there was virtually no loyalty and people would get whacked for the slightest reason.

[@drdomvondoom9265]

[@UTeewb]

What I love about this scene from the very beginning there are clues than she's going to be clipped, and it gradually becomes more and more obvious ending with her being pulled out of the car. There's also gradually escalating clues that she knows but is just going along with it anyways. It's up to the viewer to decide at what point in the scene she knew it was over.

[@sunsmith6110]

It was a complicated situation. Adriana herself was a kind hearted girl who had no intentions of truly harming anyone, yet she fell in love with Chris, who was a mid-level gangster in the Soprano crime family. The way the Sopranos and other crime families perceive and feel about their families is so twisted. They always treat everyone with what appears to be love and respect, yet if you break any of their rules, you're dead. They obviously didn't have true unconditonal love for the girl, or they wouldn't have taken her life. However, it's difficult to breed and experience unconditional love in the cold, heartless world of crime centered around making money fast AT ALL COSTS and BY ALL MEANS. It's an effective system if you don't mind living a life of paranoia and anxiety and can live with the fact that you'll likely never have a real connection of unconditional love with anyone since not getting caught is actually more important than the relationships you have. So not getting caught by the authorities so you don't go to jail trumps the love you give and receive from even your family. Many say they would die for those they love, and I'm sure many would go to jail for those they love too. This doesn't mean that those engulfed in the life of crime will not experience love at all, it just means they will likely not experience unconditional love due to their code and belief system about society and life in general. Yet falling in love with a kind-hearted soul who truly loves you unconditionally could change one's path. Chris had this chance as he truly did love Adriana at the very bottom of his heart, yet he pussied out like a bitch and let Tony dictate the situation he had with Adriana, instead of handling it like a man himself and following his heart. They would have probably had to flee to another country and run for the rest of their lives.

Realizing this, TS would have had Carmella clipped, as she could not be trusted either. And people rag on TS for his sleeping around. What a joke! Carmella banged AJ teacher and it was strongly suggested with subtle clues that she also banged the interior decorator guy, Furio, the guy on motorcycle in Paris that Roe wanted to bang, the animal control guy dealing with the bear, the priest and the tennis pro guy who stopped giving lessons and turned it over to the braless lesbian who wanted to bang Ade. I am considering doing a you tube outlining the hints and clues to support this. Chase wanted it to be subtle, not in your face to further show what a hipocrite Carm was. This scene reminded me of how TS would have had her clipped if he ever found out!

[@runthenumbers9698]

Fun Fact, Drea was on a podcast where she said that because of the mania surrounding the Sopranos at that time, HBO couldn't risk word getting out of certain things, so they actually filmed both outcomes for that reason. They couldn't trust ANYONE to release important details from an episode. She filmed both outcomes not knowing which would be in the final cut... turns out both were used. Another detail, Drea pushed for one change when it was time to release the episode. They filmed Chris telling Tony about Adriana and intended to show it in this episode before this scene, but Drea asked them to take it out because it takes all the mystery out of what's going on. She preferred that the audience not know whether what Tony tells her on the phone is deception or not. They obliged (and aired Chris and Tony's scene in a later episode as a flashback). And she was SOOOO right! Witholding that information meant the audience didn't know anything more than Adriana did, and the scene with Adriana driving away gave everyone relief, and then BAM, she's in the car with Sil and everyone fears the worst in a mere moment. I was pretty young when I saw this on HBO. Horrified me quite a bit tbh. I like it when an actor can put their own stamp on their work and make real creative cinematic decision for their character. This is a good one. The story was written by the writers, but this scene right here was Drea on double-duty as actress and director.

Or maybe Christopher is really at the hospital and the last image we'll see of Adriana is her watching him on his bed and leaving. I think I was in denial. Her death is so brutal.

The biggest punch in the gut of this scene is the brief couple of seconds where Adriana is seen driving off with her red suitcase, finally having the wherewithal to escape the mob life, and then the quick cut away to reality with her in the car with Sil, the song about getting away that was in the forefront reduced to background music on the radio.

The part where you see her driving away from Jersey was so well done, just for a moment it appeared she was getting herself out of danger (Which by itself would have been a major step up in intellect for Adriana, which is why when this episode first aired I thought "No way. She's too dumb to run"), but of course it turns out it's all in her imagination and she only thought about taking off, and is now on the way to her own burial, courtesy of Sil.

[@runthenumbers9698]

Your framing there is interesting too. You believed her to be "too dumb to run" but this scene shows that she might not be as dumb as her decisions. She knows fully well what she AUGHT to be doing and she is daydreaming about making the right decision. To me, that's acknowledgement that stupidity might have NEVER been responsible for her poor decisions. Perhaps she has simply never had the nerve to act on her better senses. I wouldn't really call this Adriana getting full-on bamboozled. There's shades of that for sure... but there's also shades of her facing the music.

What disturbs me the most is how Sil can interact with Adriana and not feel anything. The ability to interact with your victims, talk to them and see that they are human beings and still kill them is so dark. It makes me look at the mafia in a different light. Even serial killers do not look at their victims as people, but as objects to act upon. So many times on the show we see characters that we love kill people that they have close emotional ties to and they don't seem to care afterwards. How can you laugh with someone, hold them and call them your friend, lover etc and end their life without batting an eyelash?

Hey, she fucked up. Period. If she wasn t such an airhead and not invited a total stranger into her circle that turned out to be a fkin fed , she would ve been with the living!

[@bigdog1002]

Meh.. she knew the life.. she was a rat.. and that's what happens to rats.. many made guys have done WAY more than 5 years.. she knew the code.. keep your mouth shut and done your piddly sentence and be a mafia queen for life afterwards

Sil was so laid back 90% of the time but absolutely ruthless the other 10

[@davidayres9865]

That had to be the worst feeling in the world, riding in that car. She knew down in her soul, she was about to die, but her love for Christopher tried to hold on the a slim thread of hope....

[@NYR11949]

Drew de Matteo was superb in this episode. Authentic and believable. Her death and Bobby's death were heartbreaking.

[@billgates6244]

The daydreaming scene so explicitly showing she wishes she were going somewhere else right then - and note that her BAG is in the passenger seat, not Christopher, this is an escape fantasy for just her right now - is enough to convince me that she figured it out, I do think she didn't figure it out until she was on the road though. Her stoic crying, resignation, and looking out the window as they drove into the woods followed by the feeling of adrenaline and panic when you snap to and realize THIS IS IT. Poor girl. And all of you talking shit about how she acts when Silvio gets out of the car need a fucking reality check. You're delusional if you think you wouldn't try to run, beg, do anything to keep yourself alive.

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

I thought it was played perfectly. She was always a bit afraid of these guys. Tony had her trust and his convincing story got her into a car with Sil. At that point during the trip it was too late to back out. The daydream is heart breaking. She had a strong feeling this was it but when the car stops and Sil gets out shock and disbelief then finally desperation take over.

@Thelondonbadger so...the number one reason people should keep a gun is because the mob put a hit on them?

[@TheHigherVoltage]

@Thelondonbadger "Homegenous cultures are less violent day 2 day" No they aren't. Some of the most violent countries in the world are overwhelmingly one race, one language, one religion and with a single political regime. Columbia come to mind. Some of the most violent suburbs in America are all the same race, colour, religion and political leaning as well. Fuck sakes man. Why doesn't your claims ever match reality? "and strength that comes from public shaming. " Public shaming of what? Shaming people who are just trying to live a decent life and pursue happiness, but someone else wants a scapegoat, so they start blaming gays for anything and everything gays have nothing to do with? "Japan, taiwan and some other nations have low crime rate because of no cultural diversity." Why not just say you've never been to Japan or Taiwan? You're selling misrepresentation of both. Let me guess, you believe that meme going around claiming there is no Islam in Japan? Why not Google "Islam in Japan" and learn some truth for a change. Or "Christianity in Japan". Or "white culture in Japan". Or "Job teaching English in Japan". Or look at any pictures of downtown Tokyo, and notice all the buildings there that are selling Western culture. "Mainstream media sources are worse than alternative, they have democrat politicians on tv calling for harassment and assaulting people that doesn't buy into their idealogy." Yep. And that's total bullshit. What's even more bullshit is you refuse to admit that same shit happens in alternative medias - but to a much higher degree. It's all wrong. But the truth is, the right spreads far more lies and hate filled rhetoric than the left. They are also responsible for immensely more violent acts...if you want to cite the political leanings and media-outlets most gravitated to by the assailants. I've never heard of a gang of gays beating a hetrosexual to death. I have heard of dozens of gangs of alt-right Christians beating gays to death. "An armed society is a polite society." NRA propaganda isn't reality. The most polite countries in the world are also among the least armed. The USA is the most armed first world country - yet is verifiably the most violent. Being armed doesn't make one polite. Facts prove this. " It should be everyone, including ex cons. They need it the most cos of the victims families wanting to enact revenge, as well as other criminals wanting to kill them." Wow. Just wow. So paroled criminals should have easier access to firearms than people who have never committed a crime in your mind? Jesus Christ, you people are fucking insane.

[@TheBlueCream]

@Thelondonbadger yup

[@TheHigherVoltage]

@Thelondonbadger Your earlier comment : "If you have more than 2 power structures, it gets violent fast." Your last comment "That only leaves 2 power structures to aspire to..." and argue that's what leads to crime. When you talk out of your ass, you're going to get caught. Why not learn some facts so you don't have to change your story every comment?

[@cw9664]

I remember the first time I saw this episode and Adrienne is looking at all those trees in the wooded area my heart sank. We knew what was coming

[@michaelsinclair8733]

Season 5 is when you begin to see a darkness consume the whole atmosphere of the series.

[@mindphreak4money]

Personally I think it's a testament to Drea de Matteo's portrayal as Adriana, that people actually cared when she got murdered on the show. How many other characters on the show, would illicit that kind of sympathy, when they get dropped? And for those that are shocked when Christopher puts "family" loyalty ahead of Adriana's well being. Remember that at Christopher core; he was a weak person. The only reason that people even tolerated him, was because he was Tony's nephew.

[@geordiejones5618]

Oh for sure. She made what msot actresses would portray as a bimbo to a nuanced victim of an entire cuture. Richie was family so jackie was family so this life was all she knew. And damn she really wanted to "save" Christopher but she never could... no one could save either of them.

[@jeffreyval9665]

They kept her on the show too long. Her character was very annoying imo. The show did a great job with the way they killed her off.

Ade's fate was actually sealed when Christopher put her in charge of the club. She was in way over her head, and an easy target for the Fed's.

[@fernandovales566]

Actually it was already sealed the moment she met some broad at the mall and quickly befriended her, oblivious that she could ve been a fuckin fed. Complete airhead!! Can t really feel sorry for her.

[@SmilingSynic]

Just when Adriana thought she was in the car, Sil pulled her back out.
