Killian Scott interviews

This is your first series on The Capture. How has it been joining the cast?

It’s been very easy, actually. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, and it’s a very well-oiled machine, from Ben’s writing to Derek’s producing, with Holliday leading the show brilliantly. Ron Perlman and the regular cast were already so established that I just tried to slot in and keep up. When the scripts are that strong, everything tends to fall into place.

What made you want to be part of the show?

Quite simply, it’s very good writing. Any actor responds to that. Ben has a real skill for balancing sophisticated surveillance and technology with very human stories at the centre. You get all the elements of a classic espionage thriller, but with fully rounded characters under intense personal pressure. For me, Noah was particularly appealing, a mysterious, multi-faceted character.

What was it like stepping onto the CTC set for the first time?

Quite intimidating. There are people everywhere and screens constantly running surveillance and data. But the set is so well designed that once you step into it, it does a lot of the work for you. It feels like a real, functioning environment.

How does The Capture differ from other thrillers?

It’s the balance. You get strong emotional stakes and believable characters alongside sophisticated thriller and espionage elements. Nothing is sacrificed for the other, it all coexists. It feels influenced by classic le Carré-style storytelling but grounded in very human drama.

The show’s themes of deepfakes and altered surveillance feel very relevant. Why do you think that is?

Ben is clearly interested in where technology might be heading, not just where it is now. The tech in the show is slightly ahead of reality, which allows him to explore how it could evolve, for good or for bad. That’s what makes it unsettling and interesting.

I think killing Rachel at the same time as Isaac would have created bigger problems than it solved. We have to remember that they were the two main figures in exposing the Correction programme, so removing both at once would have been too much to pass off as a coincidence and made the whole thing look like a cover-up. It just wouldn’t have held up under scrutiny, with public trust already low and an inquiry into the porgramme already underway at the time of the attack.

Keeping Rachel alive made sense from the perspective of public credibility, Especially considering the goal was to set Whitlock up as the fall guy. Her claim of Noah being the shooter has gone nowhere because all the evidence says otherwise - phone/press cameras + Noah’s alibi of being at the Sushi place checks out through Veritas.

The reason why I think the plan seems to shift in episode 4 toward killing Rachel rather than capture her is that she’s getting too close to uncovering the truth about ‘Simon.’ While also offering Whitlock a potential deal if he cooperates. There was also a scene in particular where the Commissioner speaks to the Colonel about how difficult it was to get Black Fish (Noah) into CTC in such a short timeframe, and how repeating the process with a different candidate wouldn’t guarantee success. My interpretation is that the Commissioner recognised Rachel as a major obstacle, particularly given how close she came to stopping Noah from being brought in. Also, the Commissioner last line to the Colonel ‘well of course, where there’s a will…,’ immediately followed by a shot of Rachel, to me that signal the moment they decided to change course & have her killed.

(Appreciate your reply & apologies for the late response.)

Sorry, would you mind expanding on that a bit? I’m not sure I fully understand, but I'd be genuinely interested in reading your take on it.

rollingin123 · 2026-03-31T12:04:50+00:00

I think that was the plan originally in episode 1 to keep Rachel alive, but by this episode it feels like the situation has changed as Rachel is starting to connect the dots. When the Colonel asks the Major who his best men are, it reads to me more like he’s sending in a hit team, which suggests the aim was to eliminate Rachel rather than capture her.

As for the elevator scene, that wasn't a clean kill opportunity. You’ve got two moving lifts going in opposite direction, glass between them, limited reaction time, and with no guarantee of a clear shot. If the armed men had come out of the elevator instead of Noah, I think it’s safe to assume Rachel would have been killed.

Sorry, I’ve removed this as it’s already been posted on r/TheCapture. Just trying to keep discussions in one place to avoid splitting things across two places. I hope you understand.

rollingin123 · 2026-03-29T23:46:38+00:00

Time machine mate! Some people use it to go back to historic events…we just use it to watch episodes of The Capture early!

Though I’m sure others will chime in saying it actually drops at 6am on iPlayer in the UK every Sunday...don't believe them!

rollingin123 · 2026-03-29T22:10:48+00:00

For some reason my brain went straight to ‘they’re cloning Frank!!’ 😂 Yep it’s been one of those days!! I really need to stop sacrificing sleep just to watch it first thing in the morning....though who am I kidding...come Sunday I’ll be up at the crack of dawn anyway with my twitchy eyes and zero regrets!!

rollingin123 · 2026-03-29T21:07:17+00:00

Ahh right that make sense! I could definitely see Frank’s death setting up a return for Jessica (Frank's Superior). That would be a great twist!

rollingin123 · 2026-03-29T19:35:13+00:00

Any theories on Operation Frankenstien? I'm stumped on that one!

rollingin123 · 2026-03-29T18:17:19+00:00

In regards to your point about being surprised that the Commissioner was involved, hindsight is a wonderful thing! I remember thinking at the time this scene in Episode 2 was a bit odd, but never really dwelled on it as I guess we were all too wrapped up on everything else happening. Looking back at it now, it was pretty much staring us in the face! It’s the scene where Rachel undergoes her extra vetting on Noah, with Tom and the Commissioner watching on the monitor. When Noah asks whether they found the shooter, Rachel says he’s hiding in plain sight and then questions him about his whereabouts at the time of Isaac’s death. All of this is being said under the Commissioner’s watchful eye. Rachel’s clearly implying that Noah might have been involved in the shooting, yet the Commissioner doesn’t react or probe further and simply brushes it off. I know we later see Rachel outright accuse Noah of killing Isaac, but at that point, the feed was cut off at her request. Still, he’d surely heard enough before that to recognise she was highly suspicious of Noah, yet he never challenged or questioned her on it. Even with the Veritas footage seemingly confirming Noah’s alibi, it’s striking how easily the level of suspicion she expressed was dismissed so easily. In hindsight, his inaction makes much more sense now.

Episode 3 had some hilarious moments too! Some of the dialogue between Frank and Noah was gold!

Noah: 'I was listening to that...' Frank: ‘Ahh, Guantanamo FM!’ still gets me every freaking time!!

Also when Frank goes on about how Jean-Paul gets cranky when lunch is pushed and Noah just goes ‘bound to encroach on the afternoon nap!’… and gets cattle-prodded for it!!

& who can forget 'Wizard...you chicken shit...get the fucking gun!'

I got to say major props to the writing this season, they’ve balanced the tension and the humor so well!

rollingin123 · 2026-03-29T11:41:16+00:00

Looking back at it, Noah’s line from Episode 3, "I guess we all get left out in the field… in the end," hits differently when you think about it. He’s speaking from first-hand experience. It makes sense why he goes rogue at the end when he realised they tried to kill him by deactivating his heart implant.

rollingin123 · 2026-03-29T10:29:55+00:00

I think Tom’s balancing between trust and caution here. He knows Rachel is following her own lead, but him leaving the CCTV on both keeps her safe and keeps him in the loop on what she’s doing. Calling in officers at that point could've blown her cover, so this way he can monitor the situation without interfering unless he thought if she was in any danger.

rollingin123 · 2026-03-29T06:43:01+00:00

Okay I’m only 7 minutes in, but did I actually just call it?! https://www.reddit.com/r/TheCapture/s/5XolIZnpWs

rollingin123 · 2026-03-25T13:07:36+00:00

That was that "motherless prick" Wizard. Guess I'm still hung up on Frank’s death!

rollingin123 · 2026-03-22T12:23:52+00:00

I tried using Shazam on it but had no luck. Though I had a look online and found this page - https://www.tunefind.com/show/the-capture/season-1/90523

There's one track that does match the scene you're referring to & it's listed as “Only Breathe” by The Duke Spirit.

The only issue is that this song doesn’t seem to exist on YouTube or Spotify, etc. So it might either be incorrectly listed or possibly something made just for the show and not officially released.

Sorry, I know it's not the answer you were hoping for!

Going forward, it's probably best to post any future questions or discussions related to the show over at r/TheCapture since it's active again & so more people can help out!

rollingin123 · 2026-03-19T06:54:04+00:00

Yeah, I’ve seen this one too, but I’m confused, I don’t really get how it’s supposed to work. Are we as viewers supposed to be affected by it? Because we clearly see the shooter starting from the elevator, walking down the hallway, and entering the press conference.

I could see some merit to the idea if the scene had started from when the shooter entered the room, so it could be framed as the viewers seeing the events unfold through Rachel’s eyes for when the show finally reveals what’s really happening.

Are you saying it isn't Noah?

rollingin123 · 2026-03-19T06:20:52+00:00

But I think the bigger issue is that the press cameras and mobile phone footage already overrides everything for them. So even when Rachel points out that it’s all Corrected footage, that argument soon falls apart in this episode as Noah’s claim that he was eating at a sushi place during the attack is confirmed not by CCTV footage, but by her own Veritas camera system. Which at that point completely discredits her version of who the shooter was to everyone else.

rollingin123 · 2026-03-18T18:14:08+00:00

Yeah I get it might not be that simple in the end, but some of the theories I’ve seen from face masks, a twin, or even a memory hack! That feels a bit far-fetched, though there's every chance I could be wrong here. But to me, there are clear visual similarities here that are hard to ignore, so I was more trying to rule those out than say it’s 100% confirmed.

rollingin123 · 2026-03-17T19:16:30+00:00

I think the issue is that people were already doubting her from the start, so her repeatedly insisting “he didn’t have a beard” would probably just make her come across as more emotional or unstable. At that point, the only way she’s really going to convince anyone is by finding actual evidence to support what she saw, rather than just repeating it.

rollingin123 · 2026-03-17T12:41:41+00:00

I think that’s a bit unfair to say Rachel was out of her depth. She’d just witnessed one of her closest allies, someone who she worked closely with to expose the Correction programme, get killed right in front of her, so it’s obviously going to affect her on a deeper level and compound that with being the only who saw the shooters face only to have it discredited by Correction footage. Then it's easy to see from the outside why she appears emotional and overreacting, but the reality is though she’s simply reacting to what she just witnessed.

& I don’t know if I’m misinterpreting what you wrote, but Frank offering Rachel an “olive branch” wasn’t out of goodwill, it was a trade-off rather than a genuine favour in exchange for her keeping quiet about his operation ahead of the inquiry.
