Fargo
Monday, 10 p.m., FX
Hanzee Dent (Zahn McClarnon) wasn’t much of a talker. What the lean, long-haired Native American excelled at was killing. He was never far from his rifle, pistol, assault weapon. In the nine episodes of “Fargo” that we have seen he picked off so many people — including the Gerhardts, the family that took him in when he was 9 years old — it didn’t seem like anyone in town was left. Is there a bullet with his name written on it? Or will he catch his prey, Peggy (Kirsten Dunst) and Ed (Jesse Plemons) Blumquist? The season finale airs Monday night and McClarnon, who will be seen next in the new season of “Longmire” on Netflix, spoke to The Post about the trail of bodies Hanzee left behind.
How many people has Hanzee killed?
I never actually counted. I think it was 11 in the hotel at Sioux Falls in episode 9. I think I shot 17 overall.
Why did he turn against the Gerhardts?
I don’t there was a specific moment. Probably in the back of his mind he wanted to be independent. Hanzee changed throughout the show; he decided to reclaim his freedom. I think seeing the sign commemorating the 1825 Sioux massacre of 22 killed was a bit of a turning point.
Who was the hardest person for him to kill?
Mrs. Gerhardt [Jean Smart]. She was his adopted mother. We did a couple of different takes of the scene where he kills her. The director had me touching her face for a bit. I thought they would use that one.
Hanzee hardly ever spoke but everything he did was so dramatic. What guidance did [executive producer] Noah Hawley give you for playing the role?
Noah said, “Zahn, I see this character as being still.” It’s not the easiest thing to do. I was hoping a few moments come through. There was a moment where Hanzee takes Floyd [Smart] out. There’s just a flicker of, “I don’t want to do this but I have to do it.” I’m glad those moments came through.
Can you describe the season finale in one word?
