Spoiler Alert: This story contains the spoilers of the finale of the "Jewelry of Justice" series, which is now streaming on Max.

Finally, the "Gem of Justice" says goodbye, and only the "Gem of Justice" can: the monkey masturbating.

Although most of the final episodes of the HBO series, "The Man of God May Be Completed", takes place on the Palatial Vacation Home of the titular Televangelist family, the last scene actually shot comes from the previous episode. After Sunday’s service, Gem and its entourage left Jason’s steakhouse, the gang’s favorite place to hold a court and hit the salad bar. Dr. Watson - Capucchin Monkey acts as a service animal for BJ Barnes (Tim Baltz), a gem husband (Tim Baltz), who is paralyzed in a weird pole dance accident, delights and smokes while smoking as the crowds crowd him. It's a very "jewel" fusion with creative roughness and a weird sweetness.

“The church lunch scene is always my favorite scene to shoot,” said Danny McBride, creator of the Four Seasons Comedy and star and executive producer. (McBride also directed the finale, sharing the script's credit with longtime collaborators John Carcieri and Jeff Fradley.) "We usually have a full day of work, and it's everyone in the cast there, and everyone is having fun." But that day last fall, McBride didn't want to stop and smell the rose. He just tried to achieve this with a hard work that has suffered from disasters like Hurricane Helen’s “Gem” Base in South Carolina. Even that day, Bartz learned that his mother had a car accident and was not sure if he could finish the scene.

"I was so obsessed with the finish line that I didn't really stop and think about the weights of similar, 'Oh, we're done. We're done.'" But then Gregory Alan Williams, who played the Gem Consiglieree Martin, pulled him aside and expressed his gratitude. "As soon as we started talking, I was like, 'Fuck, I'm going to start crying. Will this be sad?'"

Audiences may think of similar questions as they look at the last few minutes of “that man of God may be complete.” Over the past few seasons, the "Gem of Justice" has become big before returning home. In the Season 3 finale, the literal plague of locusts descends on the TV studio and razes it to the ground. But the final action kit of the series is huge and scaryly stripped away. Despite his recent loss of his role in his father, family and friend Corey Milsap (Sean William Scott) traveled through Galilee Bay (Galilee Gulch), a home of Gem Lake, and was rampant, hurting all three siblings - Jesse (McBride), Judy (Edi Patterson) and Kelvin (Adam Devine) - injured by Gunshot. For a few minutes we were reluctant to doubt whether this was really their purpose, just letting Dr. Watson save the day he took Jesse's gun out of his cross-body bag. (Of course no wallet. )

Actually, McBride does want to hang out with his audience. "Maybe it's just because as humans, we're all doing it in there," he said. "But when the show ended, my initial knee (response) was like, 'Who are they going to kill?' It feels fun to play with the concept and really devote to it." That means a smaller climax than the "Jewel of Justice" of the past: "It should be troublesome. It should be frightening, disturbing, and strangely rooted in its ridiculousness."

However, there is also a theme reason to put the gem itself in the ultimate challenge. "I always think that in the end, they'll be tested to see if they end up having a monster truck or jet pack or anything else to do the job," McBride said. "I always thought the climax at the end would be stripped of, simple, back to the foundation, just praying." So after conquering Corey, the three prayed for him together as he died. Gem Children have shared authority over their family’s million-dollar empire. However, here, they work together to undertake all the basic tasks of glitz, charm and prayer pods: to provide spiritual guidance to the eternal soul of a friend.

Now back to the season premiere, a length flashback of Bradley Cooper as his ancestor Elijah, who accidentally becomes the Allied Pastor and finds God in the process. McBride wrote down the premiere Cold Open - Elijah murdered a missionary while robbing his collection box, and then his identity - a few years ago. It wasn't until the homepage of the series that found a place to place the site and extended the idea to the explanation of where the gems were, and who they were.

McBride's longtime collaborator Carcieri goes back to their time at film school. (He continues to represent at the University of North Carolina via T-shirts on our Zoom.) “Many of the things they do are misleading, not on the right path, but at the heart of it all they still believe in God and they still pray seriously.” Just as a professional sin Elijah’s gilded bible has been passed down for generations, one can become a sincere believer by praying for soldiers to be executed, and his descendants can become their best self by helping the lost souls who have just tried to murder them.

"That's their blood and bones, that's their legacy," Patterson said. "They're gathering together (Cory) and praying for him - I think, in a way, it's bigger than a full-scale, massive move. It's weird."

The entire sequence unfolds in Galilee Gulch, in a mansion on Lake Murray, just outside the capital of Columbia, which happens to be the largest single-family home in South Carolina, about 18,000 square feet. Finding a home is a huge challenge for McBride and location manager Kale Murphy. The original candidate wasn't quite different enough from the other homes of Gem's, and the search took a long time for McBride to almost call HBO to demand a stop to production. But Murphy was in a miracle that only applies to religion, and Murphy promoted the owners of the mansion who agreed to let the "Gem" crew take over for a full two weeks. Even better, the house happens to be a 16th-century altar imported from the Church of England and repurposed it for the fireplace. This work serves as the backdrop for the scene of Corey's death.

Lake House is the corner of Southern bourgeois culture and the gem legend that McBride and his team long to explore. "One thing I've always thought was cool for the first three Star Wars movies, they'd bring those characters" and brought them into a fundamentally different environment. "These are those characters in the snow. These are those characters in the jungle." I've been searching for "We've never seen a gem before?" Galilee Gulch also participated in the core trauma of other messy gem kids: they haven't been to the show since their mother Aimee-Leigh (Jennifer Nettles) lost. It is a meaningless luxury to have that size sit in the same place. This is partly understandable act of sadness.

"We always knew the show was about coping with losses - even if they lost the patriarch, persevere," Casili said. Another loose thread that the writer had played for years before weaving it to the last season, a romantic storyline for Paterfamilias Eli (John Goodman), which is a sure-fire move on. Eli ends up having a romantic relationship with Aimee-Leigh's best friend and music collaborator Corey's mother, Lori (Meghan Mullally). That storyline gives us Karen Walker and Sulley's gifts to us Monster Company. In a passionate 69 - and close a family unit, missing the gravity center.

"The Gem of Justice" has always been a large tent spanning multiple genres. This part is a musical and has some of the most ambitious moves on TV, and it's the "Our Last" side. In essence, though, the show is a comedy, regardless of its similarity to "Inheritance" is the legend of three siblings, as they quarrel over the empire of aging father, it never ends like Kendall Roy.

After the showdown at Galilee Gulch, the ultimate end of "Justice" is at Kelvin's wedding to Keefe (Tony Cavalero), where his best friend becomes a companion, once the repressed youngest gem comes out of the closet. Kelvin's sexual behavior was easily accepted, which might be surprising to a group of red evangelicals, but put every jewel child in a happy, healthy, stable relationship. Even though Gem played the role in the death of her son and the death of her ex-husband, Ellie and Lori decided to give again.

"Ultimately, the fun thing about gems is that they win," Patterson smiled. "Do what the hell you want. You can't let them not win."

McBride made the idea of ​​giving gemstones some final speeches as many failures for people. (This season alone, they delayed Keefe's dress as the ghost of Aimee-Leigh to dissuade Eli from dating Lori.) "There's always the thought, 'Will the church fall down? Are they arrested? Ultimately, for me, I didn't know I really didn't want to see that," he recalled. “For me, I want people to watch it again and I hope it will eventually be interesting.”

Despite his joke that his next plan is to "may make a sandwich," McBride is eager to enter the next series that will join "Gemstones," "Vice Principal" and "Eastbound & Down" and be in a series of well-known HBO series chains. Along with Patterson and writer Grady Hendrix, he is adapting the novel "The Southern Book Club Guide to Killing Vampires." What aired next, though, will be combined with the team on Rough House Pictures, where McBride co-founded McBride with David Gordon Green and Jody Hill, whose informal lineup includes Carcieri and local South Carolina crew, usually carried from project to project.

The relative consistency of inconsistent industries helps choose to end the “Gem of Justice” in its own way. “Whatever we do next, these guys are going to be part of that,” Casilla said. So, as bittersweet as saying goodbye, “I have confidence in the talented people we work with, and we’ll come up with something good.” Additionally, McBride wrote the pilot of “The Gem of Justice” in 2017. In between four seasons, two strikes and a pandemic have made the show occupy eight years of hard house crew life, making them excited for the blank slate. Casili added: “When we wrote that Civil War episode, it flowed like water because we wrote new characters in this new environment.”

"That's why I want to put a pin in the "Gem" now, because I do see the time to create the story and create the show," McBride said. "No matter how much fun he has with these dementia, selfish, slightly familiar but gradually mature people, he is doing a very out of place and can choose to say that he has had enough of it now: "I want to tell more stories, and more things I want to do." ”
