This show has to be bulletproof.
It has to work,” Deborah firmly explains to Ava.
“I’ve lost way too much for it not to.”

“And you’re okay with losing me too?”
Deborah, her volume dialed down, replies, “I’m willing to.”
“When I watched the episode, I just thought it was amazing and unexpected.
And it was shocking, though, how Deborah was with her.
And I was a little taken aback by that at first.
How do you ever take that back, even if she didn’t mean it a hundred percent?
Do I want to lose you?
No, I do not.
And she doesn’t really think she will.”
“The words are what will take you there.
It really is on the page,” Einbinder says.
I was like, wow, this feels good.”
It’s an incredible performance that is so beautiful and nuanced and impressive."
“You wouldn’t,” Deborah says, after taking a few steps closer to Ava’s face.
“I would,” Ava replies, steely-face.
“Wouldn’t you?”
Smart begins clapping when I tell her I gasped with the realization that Ava is blackmailing Deborah.
“All about Eve!”
she exclaims, referring to the plot of that 1950 film, laughing.
She listened to, unfortunately, everything I said.'
“It’s a scary scene.
It’s like Ava Mafioso Ava Montana in that moment.
I was like, what?
It’s brilliant.”
She has no choice.
She doesn’t want to do that.
She doesn’t want to be a shark.
She is doing what Deborah is telling her to do," Einbinder says.
“Aniello says that power has been building in Ava as the show has progressed.
And now, Einbinder’s curiosities are piqued about what that could mean for the recently announced season 4.
“I’m really looking forward to where that goes,” she says.
“Maybe there’s more of that adversarial stuff that would be really cool.”
Hacksseason 3 is now streaming on Max.
