Harmony Cobel (Patricia arche), Former manager of the dissected floor, since the onset of “dissected”, he is more important for lumones, as he is more important – and in episodes 8 of season 2, he justifies it.
In this installment, under the title “Sweet Vitriel”, Harmoni first appears on the screen Since she closed at the end of the episode 2To surprise Mark (Adam Scott) what he knows about her, Jemma/MS. The overall mission of KC (Dicken Lachman) and Lumon. When she shows again, she has returned to the poor, small hometown, where she grew up to ask for help from her childhood friend Hampton (James Le Gros), where her mother died in coming back home, as she is on bad conditions with her aunt Sisi Cobel (starred by Jen Alexander).
In many discoveries, the “Dilated” audience makes in this episode about Harmoni Cobel and its past-in which he worked in a lumon-run ether factory as a child, and left a dangerous job when he was accepted in a special lumone fellowship program-that is Hormony made the first plan and scholars for the warehouse chip.
By the end of the episode, Harmony has left the house once again, and possibly running back to Mark after learning from Devon (Jane Tullock) that he is successfully reinstated.
Here, Diversity The episode’s director Ben Still speaks with Arquette about diving in the past of Harmony – Plus, why does she say “mark” like this.
We find out in this episode that Harmoni Cobel came to the company’s fellowship program with ideas for the chip as a young student and played a very big role in the history of Lumon’s dissection process. From the beginning of season 1, how much did you know about Harmony’s backstory, and what were you surprised when you learned it in it?
I knew that harmony had gone to a school and worked in this ether factory, and that her mother had become an ether crazy, and that Lumon environmentally poisoned the city through industrialization of everything. We always talked about that this is an original story aspect. At a time there were different points where we talked about the possibility of cobel that to do something with some aspects of the chip, of course, because even though he did not get any acknowledgment, but it was done for the rights of someone within him who was structurally more with things, perhaps it would accept this organization. The way this belief system works – such as many things, such as army or whatever – all this is for the glory of the organization. All this is for the glory of Kir. It is not about you, not about the person. It is about the organization, what the organization needs. Here is this person who will never accept people that she wants it the most: her aunt and lumones themselves.

How would you describe the current feelings of harmony about lumones? And after responding to Devon’s call, what is she planning to do from here, and the learning mark has been re -established by her disconnection process?
I think Hormani has a deep struggle about this company. His mother was a rebel, and his mother was angry at Lumon. And some of them that I think is also within harmony. Harmony never got the love of that kind of mother. The organization separated the children from their parents, so they did not find that kind of maternal relationship. And then when you have a drug addict parents, you are never going to find it, because they disconnect that way. That place, it is very informative about the internal landscape of the harmony. It was ideal – such a cold, such bizarreness. These were the proletariat of that time. These were early incubators. This place was an incubating space for lumones. And ether is a forgetting medicine. It in itself feeds in the chip.
I think many people see harmony as a bad man – now she is going to face her bad man, her aunt and this cold place where her mother died. And he did not find any closed, he did not get to say goodbye. This cold room when his mother died alone. And then you have to say goodbye to people, and you will never close with them. They are not capable, and it was not just like this. So I think she is mourning when she is in that room. But it was really good to be able to see the set designer and the Props Department, and everyone who created these spaces, about which we are talking to the first season.

How did you build the scene where Harmoni is located on her mother’s bed and puts her mother’s ether mask on her face and also rests in pain together?
He had some time for some time when he was a child with James’ character, Hampton. But his mother was such a addict, and it had taken him to the position of this dream, he had stole his mother originally, from him. So we had only talked about the weirdness of the equipment and how we were going to shoot in that other way. And then involving historical things like the whole time and whole cultures, women have talked about kening – the voice of mourning, in which the animal is like elements of loss. Go back to our essential animal self, sadness and pain that comes with damage. Ben and I talked about whale sounds, almost, and how he wanted to use. So we talked about it and there was some freedom in it, and we did some different ways and different times.
It is really just going back to the place I myself took care of a lot of people who died, and then people had to let my life go into my life. It can always be painful, and I think she is crying a lot for herself too. She really has no really to talk about how she feels about anything. And it is part of the fact that she really likes Ms. Selvig, because she showed what it is that it likes to make friends and with the people you chat with.
“Savence” manufacturer Dan Ericson told Diversity That Grand Central Surprise Pop-Up Event is Canon For the story of the show – but at the same time, he says that he does not know what you and other actor were saying inside the Glass Cube, where the scenes took place. Are you all just making it like you went, and can you tell me What were you really saying to Adam Scott in character?
We were making it because we went together, but there were moments where I felt that really interesting things are happening inside my character and inside their character. I was writing this to him on a post, and then he finished writing “human”, which was really a good moment. I have been asked what I told him. It definitely felt that we were in a long time in it. It was really fun to do so. It looked very independent. It felt immediately, and enjoyed playing with these fellow actors.

Fans have a passion for the way Mark’s name is pronounced throughout the series. Was he scripted, or did you develop how she would give herself a line and why did you land it?
I came with it when they were telling me how harmony grew in this place, and even the learning of only temporary and all different things-there was an old world-rich about it. So I knew that I wanted this sound, because I knew that harmony was not actually raised as these figures of high rights by his mother. And, I thought, the authority has this fixed tone. If you think of a drill sergeant, there is a certain type of meter and a certain type of tone and a certain type of right. And then you think of all these different people in upper management, the way upper management takes place. I think he made a sound based on his idea what he is.
And I don’t know, I was playing with a little view of “Maud” before starting, and a certain way was that B Arthur speaks, that is a small, small pinch of the tip of the cap, “Maud”. And some pleasure I think Cobel has to luxury in his name. It matters a lot to him.
