"In the final episode of Task, Dark Hearts leader Perry (Jamie McShane) contemplates killing his protege, Jayson (Sam Keeley), who has become a dangerous liability to their criminal organization. Perry already murdered Jayson's wife for leaking information earlier in the season, but he can't bring himself to finish the job. For Perry, killing Jayson for his fuck-ups also means that he failed him as a father figure. It's a moment reminiscent of Tony Soprano and Christopher Moltisanti's relationship in The Sopranosor so I thought."
"When I mentioned it to McShane and Keeley in September, they were stunned. High praise, dude, McShane says. We're at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, days before the premiere of Task and over a month away from the show's finalewhich just aired on HBO this Sunday night. I thought you were gonna say Starsky and Hutch, he says with a laugh."
"Inseparable friends who would do anything for each other, even if they're both vicious killers who run drugs. The Dark Hearts members never receive the same deep backstories as Task's two main leads (played by Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey), but McShane and Jamie bring such an unmatched intensity to the crime drama that it cemented them as threats down to their very last seconds on screen."
In the final episode of Task, Dark Hearts leader Perry contemplates killing his protege Jayson, who has become a dangerous liability. Perry already murdered Jayson's wife for leaking information but cannot finish the job because killing Jayson would mean he failed as a father figure. The finale ends with Jayson killing Perry before dying himself. Actors Jamie McShane and Sam Keeley describe their characters as inseparable, loose cannons and emphasize the emotional intensity of their relationship. A standout scene features Perry punching Jayson with a metal chain; the actors call it a beautiful, familial moment.
