THE INTERVIEW
I thought Gus’s “interview” with DEA & Police was very interesting. There were lots of subtle queues about control and alliances.
First thing that struck me was the seating arrangement in the room . Both Hank and Gus were seated on a side of the table by themselves , while the 3 police/DEA representatives sat together. I took this to mean that the Police/DEA weren’t only there to judge Gus but to judge Hank as well. Both Gus and Hank were all alone in that room , i.e. no alliances with others. Or at best the DEA/Police had not decided who to side with yet i.e. Hank or Gus.
Second thing I loved was Hanks body language when he was left alone with the three Police/DEA agents. Hank takes control and makes a point to ask each agent , one-by-one, what they thought of Gus’s story. As each one answers, one-by-on,e we see Hank look down at the table… but not in a defeated way … more like he’s lost some respect for that person and their inability to see the truth.
Third thing that I found very interesting was Hanks cane. The cane had been set well out of Hanks reach before Gus had entered the room. (This is something Vince loves to do… have us have to fill in a history to a situation) My thought Hank would have had it placed away from him as the cane would signify weakness , when he wants to come across as strong. Then what does Gus do just before leaving the room ? Gus hands Hank his cane… almost as to say your feeble trick doesn’t fool me… you’re weak and no match for me.
