I don't think we stopped, and they just let the camera roll. Matthew and I got into the scene and kept going. We choreographed how it was going to play out there was some discussion as to where it was going to play out. It was more intense than any other scene I've ever shot, to be honest. It was a very intense scene - there's no other way to put it. HBO: Can you talk about filming that scene? When she walks in the door and sees he's been drinking, she realizes it's going to be a lot easier than she thought. But she knows he's vulnerable and that she can play into the connection they share. I don't think there are any romantic feelings for her. HBO: Is Maggie aware of any feelings Rust might have for her or is she just there to complete her mission? So when she turns up at Rust's door, she's on a mission. What she wants is for Marty to leave her and the girls alone, and to get that, she needs to betray him with the person he's most threatened by - and that's Rust. But Maggie realized in the midst of it, she's disgusted by herself - it's not who she is, so she extracts herself from situation. ![]() It's not as much about getting revenge as it is about having that be a catalyst for Marty to leave, knowing that he wouldn't be able to stand her having stepped out on him. I think she's deciding what her next move is. Michelle Monaghan: She's calculating at that point. HBO: As Marty is enjoying his dinner, he and Maggie exchange a look but she says nothing. She's done everything that she possibly can to keep her family intact and she's realizing there's nothing she can do. She's thinking about the pain that she'll have to share with her own daughters. She's angry at herself to have given him the benefit of the doubt. What is she feeling when she finds his phone and the picture? HBO: Maggie discovers Marty is cheating again. Intellectually, he intrigues her and she doesn't have that with her husband as much as she would like it. Maggie even becomes a matchmaker for Rust. She really cares about his well-being especially after she becomes aware of his troubled past. That's something that's attractive - and not necessarily in a romantic sense - to Maggie. He has every confidence in everything he says. Her relationship with Marty has been a full spiral into a non-relationship. Maggie calls him out on it, and yet he still he can't be honest with himself and with her. He's a very smart man, but a complete fool. ![]() She's observed their behavior: Marty has not grown emotionally over the years he's full of contradictions. And I think ultimately both men make the mistake of underestimating her. I really see Maggie as the most emotionally evolved character. HBO: In her interrogation, Maggie says Marty never really knew himself, whereas Rust knew exactly who he was. She's had to navigate both of the relationships in the backdrop of this investigation. I think it's a direct attack against Marty as well as Rust. HBO: Maggie tells them she "spent time navigating crude men who thought they were clever." Is this an attack on Marty? In the subtext, you can definitely sense her frustration. ![]() She was married to a man that betrayed her, so she has resentment for that job, that career, the force, and how it affected Marty throughout all those years. Maggie is a former wife of a cop so she understands the cat and mouse game. Why is she so wary of the detectives in 2012? HBO: "Haunted Houses" (Episode 6) is our first real opportunity to get things from Maggie's perspective. Her relationship with her husband and Matthew McConaughey's Rust Cohle has sent her character through highs and lows, and there's no doubt that the rest of the season will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.Įnjoy the complete interview below and tune into the next episode of True Detective Sunday night at 9 pm on HBO.
