Cape Fear’s Javier Bardem, Amy Adams & Patrick Wilson Tease Finale After Episode 7’s Brutal Twist
Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Cape Fear, Episode 7
There is no show on TV right now as hot and shocking as Apple TV’s Cape Fear. Quickly becoming one of the summer’s most addictive watches, the series is inching up to an explosive finale, but not before the 10-part limited series hits a turning point. After weeks of psychological manipulation, Javier Bardem’s immaculate performance of the twisted and deranged Max Cady finally succeeds in pulling every member of the Bowden family into his orbit in different ways. Zach’s (Joe Anders) mental state continues to deteriorate as he falls deeper under the former inmate’s influence, while Natalie (Lily Collias) unknowingly follows him on a road trip after being drugged. Meanwhile, Ray (Jamie Hector), the ex-con turned private investigator working for Anna’s firm, uncovers the truth about Max’s mysterious sister Crystal (Juliette Lewis), only to be brutally shot and killed by him after discovering an unconscious Natalie in his car.
But as the teens’ parents, Anna and Tom, played respectively by a striking Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson, work to untangle Max from their family, they each become so desperate that they’re willing to cross moral lines themselves. In an interview with Collider for Episode 7, “Mongrel,” Bardem says Max is “using every tool he has to create chaos and vulnerability” for Anna and Tom, especially through the Bowden children. His co-star, Adams, echoes that by saying Max is “exploiting every opportunity to get to them,” which the terrifying chapter makes painfully clear.
