Smoke’s Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine Discusses THAT Surprising Episode 7 Ending

From the Gary Oldman-led Slow Horses to Jon Hamm's Your Friends & Neighbors, Apple TV+ is one of the finest streamers for high-quality crime-based stories. The most recent addition to this list has been Smoke, the tale of a detective and an arson investigator duo who will stop at nothing in their cat-and-mouse chase with a pair of serial arsonists. Starring Taron Egerton, the series sees the Rocketman actor reunite with writer and creator Dennis Lehane following their previous work on Black Bird, which earned Egerton an Emmy nomination.

Now, just seven episodes in — with only two remaining this season — Smoke has unexpectedly twisted the knife in its latest chapter, “Whitewashed Tombs,” which hits especially hard following the tragic, gut-wrenching death of Freddy Fasano (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine), who dies by suicide in prison. After being manipulated, discarded, and ultimately dehumanized by the very people who claimed to want justice, Freddy takes his own life with his final moments unfolding in a haunting sequence that flashes through his past, offering an unflinching look at pain, memory, and a system that failed him.

In the aftermath of Freddy’s final episode, Collider’s Tania Hussain sat down with Mwine to reflect on his character’s complex and heartbreaking arc. The pair dug into what first drew him to Freddy, how he approached the final moments of the episode, and even took a detour to his go-to in-car karaoke track, for a brief, soulful breath between the flames.

Smoke continues weekly on Apple TV+.
