Richard Harrow, hands down one of my favourite characters...a man of unwavering principles!

[vincentrobinson]

If he hadn’t gotten hit with the bullet, just that woman’s screams alone would have killed him

[danieldevito]

The horrified look on Liam's face when Jimmy gets done telling his story is amazing.

For those who don't know, this scenario is based on multiple poems and scenarios described by people in the trenches. One of the most famous being how a German soldier wanted to shoot a horse dead, because it was stuck in barbed wire in a crater-ditch. For days it screemed as its intestines were stuck in the barbed wire and the horse desperately tried to fight loose. The wild, fearful eyes of the horse was all that ever raised above the crater and never far enough for anyone to risk camoflague to shoot it.

So they waited, in silence, on both sides, for the screaming horse to scream and scream and scream. For almost a week, before it finally silenced.

I've watched the series probably 5 or 6 times but this is the first time I've realised the way Michael Pitt (Jimmy) delivers that monologue has a very Christopher Walken vibe to it, as soon as he lights up the ciggarette, just the pauses and off rhythm timing to it. Incredible piece of acting all round

Turn the volume down, I need to hear the atoms shift in my room.

Richard Harrow ( Jack Huston ) should have won an Emmy for his role in the series, easily my favorite character.

Random thing I notice rewatching season 1: The war story of jimmy's about the german stuck in the barb wire. Is actually hinted in episode 3 where jimmy is sleeping on the train to chicago, he had a flashback to the war with the noise of artillery and machine gun fire you can actually hear a german yelled mother mother in german in the mist of it.

i've seen this scene many times, but i still get goosebumps when the music starts. absolutely brilliant scene. the actors in this show are just incredible.

[johnpendarvis]

Some great cinematography. The shoulder pat was the go ahead signal, too. Well done, fantastic series.

[Brickcellent]

Imagine they actually had to audition people for that screaming lady part.

[TheJking]

Poetic Justice!
That guy disfigured Pearl and gets killed by a disfigured man :)

[ParadigmZwei]

This scene plays with your expectations and still manages to catch you by surprise. You're expecting him to get shot, and you're waiting for some guy to get up from another table or storm in through the door after Jimmy. Then you're jolted up by the sound of the glass smashing, and you instantly know precisely what's happened.

" Relax, I am not going to kill you " < My friend, who is in the building next us, is >

This was the point at which Jimmy really came into his own IMO. Liam looks like a psycho while Jimmy was ice cold. Liam knew that compared to his gangster life, this war vet had experienced a world of violence most civilians would never believe, and Liam is pissing in his pants as Jimmy tells that story. Great scene.

[Keyecomposer]

Did such a good job of showing how good of a shot Richard was, not just because he made that shot from the window but because it was in the exact same spot he said he shot that German sniper when first talking to Jimmy.

[kamikaze]

The look on his face while jimmy told that story was of pure horror. He knew he had pissed off the wrong one.

[alexrennison]

Love how at 3:12 you can see Richard retreating from the window.

If I could pull off Jimmys' hair style without looking like a complete idiot I would....Maybe I will anyways.

[Peter_Wendt]

This story has little to do with Liam. The point is that Jimmy feels like the doomed German soldier, whose struggle to cling to life only causes him needless pain. Jimmy just needs to talk about his feelings with someone, and Liam is the perfect choice because he will soon be dead.
