42:15 only now I’m realising the Smiths all think Hawk is an orphan 😧

I too would flee a bathroom with unwashed hands to escape Roy Cohn 🤢

You're both too young to fully appreciate the stigma, fear and revulsion A.I.D.S. carried back in 1986. For Hawk to have gone to Tim, to have held him when he was bleeding, to reach out and want to hold a hand showing obvious Karposi, is HUGE! Every touch, every second spent near Tim is him saying he's sorry, saying he cares more about Tim than himself or his reputation. It's him saying I love you, I always have and I wish I could have told you before

I didn‘t read all comments above, so maybe someone already explained Hawks masterplan, concerning McCarthy, Cohn and Shine, but my take on it is, that the plan contained 3 stages:

Petra Franke

1) get Shine drafted by correcting his health status 2) so that Cohn would become a target, because of the favours he called in for Shine 3) Give the evidence about McCarthy to Cohn, so the three of them were stuck together and went down together in the trial before the army committee. And by that hopefully ending the investigations about gay/lesbian government employees.

Linus Roache makes some interesting choices when it comes to accepting parts! I watch Senator Smith here. His reaction to having a gay son, his relationship with his closeted son-in-law (well nearly), and as he sits there writing that last letter, I can only see him as Tom, finally accepting himself, in My Policeman. Both stories began at a similar time, of course, when being a man attracted to other men was pretty much unspeakable. I also think Hawk's problem is that he was completely unprepared for meeting Tim and falling truly, madly, deeply and completely in love with him. Hawk never reconciled himself with being gay, and as long as he could convince himself that it was "only" sex, just satisfying an urge, scratching an itch, he was fine. He wasn't that young boy on his knees who so disgusted his father, he wasn't one of the "deviants". He treats Tim absolutely shabbily, but he treats himself even more badly, consigning himself to a life of lies and tawdry encounters in toilets. Never having the peace and completeness that he felt with Tim. I think that's why he's so desperate to see Tim in 1986, to spend precious time with him, to be seen with him. Yes, it's about making amends with Tim, but much more, it's about accepting himself, and acknowledging that he has truly loved Tim for over 30 years, not simply f***ed him now & again.
