Macha Limonchik plays a very mysterious former Major Weapon. Her character committed “deplorable and illegal” acts with Colonel Craig (Francois Papineau) during their deployment to Iraq when she was his superior.
WITH Gabriel (Bianca Gervais) Having begun to delve into the past of Madeleine Phillips, a woman “very cautious and paranoid,” as author Alexandre Laferrière described her to QMI, the main party involved tasked her henchman Christopher (Matthies Savard-Verhoeven) with keeping their secret.
This explosive story, fragments of which we will continue to learn, could at that time even cost two brothers in arms their freedom. Phillips, unlike Craig, was kicked out of the army for insubordination and was left with wounds in her eyes, which explains why she wears sunglasses all the time.
“Madeleine, tough, dry and whose idea of a person was built around the military profession, has a special relationship with this young man, whom she treats as her lackey,” summed up Masha Limonchik, recalling that she was already familiar with Savard-Verhoeven, who played her son in last year Gullde Tchekhov.
“She doesn't answer the phone. Madeleine is alone in her big house and, as we'll see, she still has a heart. We also don't know what connects her to Craig and who has the most to lose if their secret is revealed,” continued the actress, who is still opening up about her character, days before she wraps filming her scenes in the second season of the war thriller.
She likes to keep a low profile while playing Philips. “We offer more than we show,” she said, adding: “I sometimes want to say something with my eyes while playing, I’m used to it, but the glasses hide them.”

Maha Lemon doesn't know why Phillips has scars on his face.
“It's really fun because this is also a mystery to me, there is a little trembling. There are a lot of things I don't know, I'm learning as I go. I'm not used to it either, but I find it exciting, and the director, Jean-Philippe Duval, sometimes calls the author to find out what will happen next, because, above all, we try to be honest.
According to the one who writes WeaponPhillips' goal is to “live your life peacefully without worry.”
“His connection with Craig is an honor. I wanted us to see a certain intimacy with Craig and explore his past,” added the one who also develops another intriguing character – spy Catherine Sergerie played by Larissa Corriveau.
