Dick\u2019s continued task from the military and General Shaw (James Remar) is to find the monster so they can weaponize it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cHe hates what he does to Taniel,\u201d Chalk tells TheWrap. \u201cIf his grandmother\u2019s Cardinal Rule is \u2018never open the box,\u2019 Part Two is \u2018don\u2019t be going in people\u2019s heads and messing around.\u2019 Like, don\u2019t mess people up unless you\u2019re in danger. And so to do that for the worst person that he\u2019s met means he\u2019s really in a bad place.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/powerwomensummit2025.splashthat.com\/actress\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Unfortunately, Dick does break the rule. The two are sat in a room together and Taniel refuses to give up any information despite Dick asking for what he wants the easy way. Using The Shining is a painful experience for the person it\u2019s focused on but also the one wielding it. When Taniel doesn\u2019t cooperate, Dick has to force his way into the boy\u2019s mind but Chalk wanted to make sure the whys of this happening made sense.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/rR76Ijf5qg5rmvhFsv94MA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/thewrap.com\/edb52fcb10e2efb0078c3c52b879cc5b\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cRespectfully, these two dudes are powerless,\u201d Chalk said. \u201cThey don\u2019t care about each other. They are props to each other\u2019s game. They\u2019re not going to work together because their plight\u2019s not the same. I just wanted to make sure it wasn\u2019t like this black guy who hates this indigenous guy for this white guy. That seems bats\u2013t, that seems absurd. What I wanted it to be was I asked him to just tell me and he didn\u2019t take me seriously. It\u2019s not mean as much as it\u2019s like, \u2018I know you don\u2019t think I can do what I can do, and I know you don\u2019t understand how much pain this is going to cause both of us. But my man, like, we could be best friends or we can be enemies.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What Dick sees has a doubling effect on him. In Episode 3, he came face-to-faceish with Pennywise as the monster felt the man using The Shine to seek him out. Now, Dick is confronted by just how old, how powerful, how long, and how violently this thing has been roaming Derry and the only thing keeping it somewhat penned in are these \u201cbeacons\u201d made from parts of the vessel It fell to Earth in initially. Chalk said this Pennywise lore dump alongside having seen the creature for the first time \u2013 albeit briefly \u2013 will affect him going into the back half of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt\u2019s like, what becomes of a man who thinks he\u2019s the most powerful person in his universe and then realizes he\u2019s just a cog in the wheel,\u201d Chalk said. \u201cHe discovers he\u2019s not powerful in his military posts, because I mean how long is the general going to let this little black dude come around like \u2018f\u2013k you guys.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He finished: \u201cI think Dick is faced with the many different things that are worse than death as the series continues. Because Pennywise is worse than death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/it-welcome-to-derry-episode-4-chris-chalk-interview\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\u2018It: Welcome to Derry\u2019 Star Chris Chalk Unpacks Episode 4 Interrogation Scene, Facing Pennywise;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">\u2018It: Welcome to Derry\u2019 Star Chris Chalk Unpacks Episode 4 Interrogation Scene, Facing Pennywise<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TheWrap;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: The following story contains spoilers from \u201cIt: Welcome to Derry\u201d Season 1 Episode 4. \u201cIt: Welcome to Derry\u201d Episode 4 started cracking open the whys of Pennywise\u2019s chosen haunting grounds \u2013 but the only way to do that was for Dick Hallorann (Chris Chalk) to break one of his cardinal rules and go deep [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2143131,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25172],"tags":[392270,378875,377985],"class_list":["post-2161033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-chris-chalk","tag-pennywise","tag-welcome-to-derry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/7-Movies-You-Didnt-Know-Were-Adapted-From-Stephen-King.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2161033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2161033"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2161033\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2161034,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2161033\/revisions\/2161034"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2143131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2161033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2161033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2161033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
