What’s subsequent for him and Intelligence after this with Gloria and Cook dinner MIA?
Is she alive? She may be useless, and if she’s useless, it’s my fault. So it’s as excessive stakes because it will get, really as excessive stakes because it will get. Every thing is coming crashing in on the similar time. The workforce may discover out. She may die. I may go to jail. I may die. It’s the worst-case state of affairs, really, and I felt it as I used to be taking pictures it. I actually, really felt it. I felt all the panic. There was no different method to do it however to really feel it, which was actually cool in a manner, as an actor, despite the fact that it sounds so masochistic. However there’s no different manner, at the very least, I don’t know some other manner. However I used to be additionally actually proud. I used to be like, nicely, if I’m feeling this, I suppose I’m within the journey. I actually am. And it’s been lovely. I’ve grown a lot in these previous episodes we’ve performed as an actor and as an individual.
The logline for the following episode reveals the unit learns the reality concerning the secret that Torres has been maintaining. How does that go for him? Is it higher than he anticipated in any manner?
It isn’t. It simply will get worse. His entire life is flipping the wrong way up, really. The writers have performed an incredible job with this character the entire season. What an arc he’s had, really because the starting, truthfully, because the first season he was on, after we discover out about his previous to all of his guilt and anger points that possibly he has from all the things he’s performed in his life, however to this, it’s like, wow, he can not breathe. And I adore it. I imply, I adore it as an actor, that is actually the roles we would like—I imply, at the very least quite a lot of my associates I do know, all of us need to have the ability to expertise this stuff. That’s why we’re in a position to be on this profession. So I’m fortunate that I’ve such lovely, lovely, intense storylines.
Who can he lean on throughout this?
Burgess [Marina Squerciati]. Burgess. She’s actually turned out to be an incredible companion, and I don’t assume there’s a lot there that we get to see of his personal gratitude in the direction of her as a result of he’s going by means of it. However what she’s performed is unimaginable and really, what a good friend, what an individual.
Subsequent week, Reid (Shawn Hatosy) is placing a deal with Intelligence. So what does Torres consider the deputy chief?
Torres is a really perceptive man and he realizes that there’s one thing up right here. Gwen [Sigan, showrunner] hasn’t informed us a lot about it, and I haven’t requested as a result of I sort of like not understanding the place that storyline goes, however one thing appears to be there after which we’ll see just a little bit extra about that within the subsequent episode.
Does Torres remorse something that he’s performed associated to Gloria?
That’s an excellent query. He undoubtedly regrets it indirectly, however on the similar time, that’s what makes him so particular is identical factor he did with Mia, his love curiosity in his first season. He actually sees the most effective in folks and sacrifices so much to belief in that and to imagine that individuals can change. And sadly, some folks don’t change. And that’s the case right here. She was the spouse of this abusive drug lord, and he noticed the most effective in her. And clearly, she’s only a flawed human being. She’s not a nasty particular person, however very flawed, and he can’t appear to wrap his head round it. He can’t imagine that she went again. She had all the chance to go away and to discover a completely different sort of life and peace, and he or she didn’t do it. Isn’t that so fascinating, in human beings, that we simply have a tendency to return?
You mentioned he’s going to lean on Burgess, however is she who he has probably the most important scenes with going ahead, or is it one other character?
Properly, relying on what sort of scenes, however yeah, with Burgess, it’s undoubtedly this “I’m right here for you” sort of factor. And it’s a constant assist. With Kiana, previously, it’s been such a magnificence to undergo such a robust case collectively and discover this bond. And with Gloria, for instance, there’s so much to discover. There’s quite a lot of feelings and quite a lot of love—and quite a lot of ache. And in addition within the subsequent episode, we’ll see how everybody absorbs this info.
One phrase to explain his and Voight’s (Jason Beghe) relationship going ahead? Is it tense?
Tense, completely tense, on the highest stage.
