It Starts On The Page (Limited): Read ‘Disclaimer’ Finale Script “Chapter VII” With Foreword By Alfonso Cuarón
Alfonso Cuarón talks about writing the finale of Apple TV+ limited series 'Disclaimer'. Part of a franchise featuring scripts of top Emmy contenders.
The psychological thriller, on its surface, traces the public downfall of prominent journalist Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate Blanchett), whose worst nightmare comes to fruition when she’s confronted by an pseudonymously written roman à clef that exposes the long-buried secret of her life. Amid a flurry of personal and professional turmoil largely orchestrated by Stephen (Kevin Kline) — an embittered widower who believes Catherine is to blame for the death of his teenage son Jonathan (Louis Partridge) — what appears to be a cut-and-dry tale transforms into a thematic exploration of what happens when women’s voices are hidden and erased. Below is the script for “Chapter VII,” which has the apt logline: “It’s time for my voice to be heard.” It is accompanied by an intro by Cuarón, in which he outlines his vision of the sprawling cinematic narrative and its pulse-pounding conclusion for each character and shares how he hopes viewers feel at the end of the episode.
