Spoilers below for the season finale ofOutlander.
Instead, Ian offered himself.
Its so crucial that viewers see that happiness on Ians face.
But that doesnt mean that when he makes that choice that hes out of the woods yet.
Its truly a special moment for Ian.
How much of that gauntlet run did you do yourself?I love stunt work.
I want to do the whole thing.
I want to launch the whole thing every take.
When we got onto set, they had given us two days to do it.
That rush of, Oh shit, here we go!
kept my fire burning.
Were there any injuries from the intensity of the scene?There wasnt anything serious.
I did get a war club in the face at one point.
Just ducked too late and the war club came swinging.
Luckily it was made of rubber, so thats all good.
But I was all good.
The nurse came and saw me.
Spray-on plasters are an amazing thing.
Im pretty sure Ive got to get to the end of this.
But youve also got to remember that Ian had also been resting.
He hasnt been made to walk 700 miles and then get thrown into that gauntlet, you know?
Hes had more time to prepare himself for that moment.
They were like, Youre here now, prove your worth.
Did you speak with those consultants yourself?
What did you find was most important to them?Absolutely.
We got to speak to a couple of Mohawk elders that came over to watch the filming from Canada.
Working with them, we would have a laugh.
Theyd say, Oh, you know youre sounding like youre a 70-year-old drinker now.
Hes made that choice.
Now, the consequences, we will wait and see.
The tears in your eyes as Ian parts with Jamie are beautifully heartbreaking.
Its now Ian comforting Jamie and telling him that hes gonna be alright.
Those final words from Jaime Remember are super important, because its his anchor back to that life.
But its not all bad news.
Hes got Rollo, so its okay.
When we see all the canoes coming to launch Rogers night rescue, Rollo is in one.
How was filming that?
He looked calm.I loved that!
You just see us all stealthily coming along the black lake and then Rollos little head pops.
Hes far more professional than any of us.
He was on a leash when Ian was running the gauntlet.
His instinct is always to protect.
You trained with the two dogs being considered for the role, right?Yeah.
He could look to me for confidence.
It was super important that bond was made.
We got to the top and I got to take beautiful photos together with him.
That was the first time he had been off the leash running around in the wild as well.
Here I am running around pretending Im a Mohawk warrior with him, you know?
Often in history, the Scottish Highlanders were depicted very similarly to Native American warriors.
I did enjoy dipping my toe into the water, but the research is not finished yet.
Only now will he finally really discover what it takes to be a member of the Mohawk tribe.
