Bill Hader filmed that Barry series finale scene in just two takes.
Editor's note: The article below contains spoilers for the Barry series finale.Even if Barry continuously told its audience that it could never know what to expect, it still managed to deliver some shocking plot twists during last night's series finale. After years of being haunted by the fact that Barry had killed his girlfriend, Gene Cousineau had enough, and he took it upon himself to bring justice to the memory of his partner.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT I shot him twice, and I think we only did it twice. I shot him once, and he said, “You don’t have to do this, Mr. Cousineau,” and I shot him a second time. But in the final, he went “Wow.” Just wow. It is still jaw-dropping. Apparently, the different takes were only produced to have two different options for Barry to say as his final words, with Hader deciding to use the one that felt more genuine for the character. Even after killing Janice, the protagonist couldn't understand why his mentor didn't want to see him anymore.
After killing Barry, there was nowhere left to go for Cousineau, and every hope he had for clearing his name regarding the death of Janice was gone as soon as he pulled the trigger on his former student. The character was given a life sentence, charged with a murder he didn't commit, and another one he had to pull off to protect his own life.
