And the cool thing about what happened at the end of last season was that we get a dramatic moment where everything changes in an instant. That was his way of doing things, and then that got shattered. He’s not a psychotic person, he doesn’t wake up every morning and repeat the mantra, but he was doing what he thought was right. To me, Flack kept it together not because he was somehow morally superior, but because he believed that “that’s what I have to do, that’s the right thing to do”–and then suddenly all that gets thrown out the window. People get defined by their choices, not in what happens to them.ĬSI Files: Were you surprised when you learned that Flack was going to kill the man who murdered his girlfriend in “Pay Up”?Ĭahill: No, not really. So in some respect-no disrespect to the memory of Jessica Angell, God bless her-that took a little bit of a backseat because it wasn’t a choice he made. But killing somebody? That’s a line very few people cross. That’s its own re-identification process in dealing with that. Mourning the loss of anybody sucks, don’t get me wrong, and certainly the closer they are to you, the harder. At the end of last season, it was so obvious that this guy’s girlfriend had been killed that people kind of looked over the fact that he killed somebody! That, for my money, was really the defining moment going forward. We do things so concisely–there’s very little room to put air in our show, so to get an arc across like that is a bit of an undertaking, and I’m quite happy with how it turned out.ĬSI Files: Most storylines are resolved within the space of a few episodes–either in a row or spread out–but Flack’s ordeal really lasted for the first part of season six.Ĭahill: Yeah, and I’m happy that they didn’t shy away from a fundamental component of it. But when I look back at it now, I’m almost surprised at the nature of this story arc. We’re not sure how it’s going to play out but this is kind of what’s getting kicked around.” So by the time story gets to me, it just kind of feels, yeah, this is what happens next. This is coming up for you–we’re thinking of this or we’re thinking of that. With some of the stuff that’s been going on this year, I’ve been slightly more included than I have been in years past, just in terms that people will mention, “Oh, something’s going to happen. I wear a certain set of blinders when I go in and look at things and it’s only after doing it, when it’s finished, that I look back and go, oh holy shit, that’s kind of different for the character and any sort of involvement that my character has ever had on the show. Were you surprised by the trajectory his grief and guilt after the death of his girlfriend Jessica Angell ( Emmanuelle Vaugier) took him on?Įddie Cahill: Maybe in retrospect, I’m surprised.
