They shot one version before lunch where Fincher directed Lynch to play the scene as if he was truly innocent and confused as to why he was being accused. They then shot a second version after lunch where Fincher directed Lynch to play it as if he was fully guilty, but was too smart to ever get caught.
The cut of the scene we see in the final film is an amalgamation of these two versions.
Such an interesting and effective choice in direction and approach to this scene.
So you went and arrested old Norm son-of-a-Gunderson.

Why this below average movie appears on reddit/r/videos every couple of months is so strange to me.
Ted Cruuuuz…
One of the best directed sequences of one of the best directed movies of all time
Not for Allen, right? He’s ambidextrous!
AMAZING scene. Masterclass in editing and building tension.
I never knew that Drew Carey’s brother had it in him to be a serial killer.
The fact we won’t get more of this from Fincher ala MindHunter is such a goddamn letdown
love this movie

Super interesting fact about this scene:

Such an unnerving movie.
