Vincent Cassel(Black Swan) is imparting some wisdom toGianni Capaldi(A Day to Die) in an exclusive to Collider clip forTerry McDonough’s upcoming crime drama,Damaged. Sitting across from one another at a quiet restaurant, Cassel’s Detective Bravo explains to the younger officer, Glen Boyd (Capaldi), that nothing truly ever stays in the past and that things have a way of popping back up when you least expect. Tying his advice to the event that’s currently bringing the men together, Bravo urges Boyd to tell him everything he knows about the case they’re working on in hopes of giving him the best possible assistance in aiding in the capture of a serial killer.
Luckily for Boyd and Bravo, they aren’t the only two rushing against time to crack the case, asSamuel L. Jackson’s Dan Lawson also joins the hunt. For Lawson, Bravo’s words about the past ring more true than one could imagine as he’s already dedicated part of his career to tracking down this very killer.The Chicago detective was first on the trail of the murderer five years earlier, making him the perfect person to turn to when Scotland police notice a similar pattern in the string of killings. Eager to shut the door on the past once and for all, Lawson and Bravo, with the help of Boyd, will do whatever it takes to stop the sadistic madman before he claims another life.
Along with the leading trio of actors,Damagedalso features performances fromKate Dickie(Game of Thrones),Mark Holden(Deep State), andJohn Hannah(Four Weddings and a Funeral). The project is the latest to come from McDonough, who lent his directorial vision to multiple episodes of AMC’s hit dramas,Breaking BadandBetter Call Saul. The helmer also holds credits on other TV titles, includingThe ExpanseandCriminal Minds: Suspect Behavior.
