The official trailer for the 2022 Sundance Film Festival Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award winner Emergency suggests things aren’t as they appear. The trailer also reveals an escalating series of bad decisions puts college friends at the center of an all-night chase.
The cast is led by RJ Cyler, Donald Elise Watkins, and Sebastian Chacon. Sabrina Carpenter, Maddie Nichols, Madison Thompson, and Diego Abraham also star in the R-rated comedy. Carey Williams directs from a screenplay Oscar nominee K.D. Dávila (Best Live Action Short Film, Please Hold).
Amazon Studios has set a May 20, 2022 theatrical release followed by a May 27th release on Prime Video.
Prime Video’s official Emergency synopsis:
“Kunle and his best friend, Sean, are both seniors in college about to embark on an epic night of Spring Break parties. Sean has the whole night planned out, including every party they will hit on their ‘legendary tour’. Kunle is down but mostly concerned with finishing up his mold experiment in his lab, as his acceptance to Princeton is hinging on the results. They return to their apartment to pre-game, but find that their roommate, Carlos, left the door open.
As they enter with trepidation, Sean and Kunle discover a drunk, semi-conscious white girl they don’t know on the floor and an oblivious Carlos, who didn’t hear her come in over the videogame blaring in his ears. Kunle wants to call the cops but Sean vehemently opposes the idea, concerned how it will look when the cops show up (two black men, one Latinx man, and a passed-out white woman).
Together, Carlos, Sean, and Kunle load the girl (who they nickname Goldilocks, but whose real name is Emma) into Sean’s van, with the intention of taking her somewhere safe rather than calling the police. Meanwhile, Emma’s sister, Maddy, has realized that Emma left the party they were at, and begins to search for her in a drunk panic using Emma’s phone’s location. What ensues is a chaotic, hilarious, and tension-filled chase all over town as our trio grapples with their differences while attempting to bring Emma to safety.”

Netflix released the following season three synopsis:
After putting a stop to 1963’s doomsday, the Umbrella Academy return home to the present, convinced they prevented the initial apocalypse and fixed this godforsaken timeline once and for all. But after a brief moment of celebration, they realize things aren’t exactly (okay, not at all) how they left them. Enter the Sparrow Academy. Smart, stylish, and about as warm as a sea of icebergs, the Sparrows immediately clash with the Umbrellas in a violent face-off that turns out to be the least of everyone’s concerns.
Navigating challenges, losses, and surprises of their own – and dealing with an unidentified destructive entity wreaking havoc in the Universe (something they may have caused) — now all they need to do is convince Dad’s new and possibly better family to help them put right what their arrival made wrong. Will they find a way back to their pre-apocalyptic lives? Or is this new world about to reveal more than just a hiccup in the timeline?
The opening to Netflix’s Ozark season four episode 10 takes us back to that heartbreaking moment when Wendy (Laura Linney) had her own brother killed in season three. Ben (Tom Pelphrey) is sitting in the diner waiting for Wendy to come back from the restroom. When she doesn’t return, he heads outside and finds Navarro’s man waiting for him.
After pleading for his life, Ben has no choice but to go with him. As they drive, Ben begins to have a breakdown. When he finally pulls himself together, he tells this hired killer about his childhood, about how Wendy loved him more than anything. He asks the man to tell Wendy he’s sorry and that he forgives her. The man forces Ben into what appears to be an abandoned barn and kills him.
As the audience sees Marty (Jason Bateman) traveling to Mexico, we hear Navarro’s voice telling Marty his man Nelson will protect him and his priest will give him legitimacy. However, the rest is up to Marty. Marty will have to make them trust and fear him. He’ll have to convince them he’s not just some messenger boy.
As Marty’s shown to his room we hear Navarro say, “Oh, and they will kill you.”
Wendy receives a call from Marty assuring her he’s fine and she excitedly tells Charlotte (Sofia Hublitz) her dad just called and that he’s okay. Charlotte’s only response is a glare.
Marty enters a room where Navarro’s men are waiting and begins by letting them know he was with their boss yesterday. Omar sent him there to inform them Javi Elizondro is dead. Javi’s mother, Camila (Omar Navarro’s sister), is in the room and one of Navarro’s men assumes it was the rival cartel that took him down. Marty corrects them and says Navarro did it.
Marty reveals Javi was a traitor and was making a deal with the US government to bring down their cartel. Also, Javi’s the one who got Navarro arrested.
When they ask who’ll run things now, Marty assures them Navarro will. Of course, they want to know how he’ll do that from prison. Marty dons his boss pants and lets them know he’ll get Navarro out of prison. Understandably, they want to know how he’s going to do that. Marty declares it will happen because that’s what he wants.
“I wanted Navarro to win the cartel war. Who won the cartel war? Now I want him out of prison, so I’m going to get him out of prison,” says Marty.
Right before Marty leaves the room, he tells them he’s going to want to meet with them individually to discuss their business in each of their territories. They’ll need to bring their accountants and their books.
Camila (Veronica Falcón) stops Marty as he’s leaving the meeting and he expresses his sorrow about the loss of her son. Marty claims he doesn’t know how much he can tell her but he can say it was quick. She admits because of the way Javi would talk about her brother she knew this day would come. She lost her father and her husband to this life as well and asks if Marty’s sure he can really get her brother out of prison. He is, and explains about the SDN list and that his wife is working through her foundation to get him off that list and moved back to Mexico.
Wendy shows up at Ruth’s (Julia Garner) trailer and tells her she hasn’t thought this through (meaning Ruth going into business with Clare). Ruth assures her she doesn’t need her advice. Wendy wonders what will happen if Clare likes her product so much that she wants more. Wendy also questions whether Ruth’s prepared to grow illegal opium, asking if that’s what she wants her life to be.
Wendy tries to get Ruth to partner with the Byrdes, explaining that the deal would have to include Ruth telling Clare she has to go through with the donations to the foundation. Ruth asks why she would do that and Wendy replies, “Because you owe us.” That’s rich coming from Wendy since Ruth’s family was killed because of the Byrdes…but sure, Ruth owes them. Ruth refuses to do it.
Acting out of anger, Wendy goes to the sheriff’s office to rat out Ruth and finds a new person in the office, Deputy Wycoff (Brad Carter), as Acting Sheriff. She explains she wants to report a crime before it happens, playing on the fact that sheriff is a political position.
He acts on the tip and heads to the Lazy-O Motel to look for Ruth but instead finds an awkward Sam Dermody (Kevin L. Johnson). Deputy Wycoff informs him that he’s heard Ruth used to be in business with Darlene. Sam claims not to know; he just checks in guests. He asks Sam if he does the books for the motel and Sam points him in the right direction to who does.
Deputy Wycoff pays Jonah (Skylar Gaertner) a visit and is surprised to find out that he’s Ruth’s bookkeeper. He wonders if Jonah’s mom knows about all of this and tells him he needs to ask some questions, like what kind of bookkeeping he does. Jonah gives him the basics. Deputy Wycoff asks if he ever did any bookkeeping for Darlene or if Ruth ever asked him to do anything for Darlene. At just that moment Nathan (Richard Thomas), Jonah’s grandpa, comes walking up wanting to know why Wycoff’s questioning a minor without a guardian present. Wycoff notes that now that Nathan’s there, they can go inside so he can continue to ask Jonah questions. But, in this case, it’s grandpa to the rescue! He tells the deputy he doesn’t think so. And, besides that, he and Jonah are just about to go to lunch.
Marty’s going over financial reports with a few of Navarro’s men when he gets a call from Wendy asking if he’s doing okay. After filling her in on how it’s going in Mexico, he asks how it’s going with Clare. She confirms Ruth wouldn’t help (gee, wonder why?) so she tipped off the new sheriff. The look on Marty’s face indicates he’s not thrilled about that but, of course, he doesn’t say anything. Wendy informs him she’s going to pay Jim Rattelsdorf a visit. Marty’s surprised by this considering that Jim told them he never wanted to see them again.
Jim (Damian Young) is obviously not thrilled to see Wendy but lets her in his house anyway. He reminds her he had to watch a psychotic drug lord beat up her husband in his living room and then lie to his own husband as to why he couldn’t meet him for lunch. Jim doesn’t want to work for her but she has a feeling that’s not entirely true. She explains he doesn’t have to worry about Javi anymore because he’s dead and Navarro is the one who killed him. She fills him in on their plan to get Navarro back to Mexico and back to fully running the cartel.
Wendy assures him they can do all of it but to do so she needs the full power of their board of directors. Jim reminds her they won’t fall in line unless she has donations coming in. She wants Jim to help her get donations by getting them all to attend a fundraiser at the casino by the end of the week.
Mel locates the officer who questioned Wendy and Ben. She remembers them and recalls Ben saying the Mexican cartel was after them. Mel asks if it was Omar Navarro and the officer’s shocked Ben’s story might have been true. Mel asks what Wendy said and she remembers her explaining that Ben had a mental illness. The officer agrees to help Mel out by getting him surveillance footage from along the 50.
Ruth rents a U-Haul and notices a black car watching her. After it follows her to the Snell farm, an angry Ruth shows up at the police station and confronts the deputy. She’s upset he spoke with her employees and that he’s having her followed. He reveals he got a big tip that she’s about to make a big mistake. Ruth isn’t stupid and knows he’s in Wendy’s pocket.
Next, Ruth visits Frank Jr. (Joseph Sikora) and confirms she got rid of the gun he gave her. She needs another favor and asks for his help moving heroin because the local cops are onto her. She admits she thinks the Byrdes are messing with her. Frank tells her he never pegged her as a Darlene Snell wannabe; he always thought she was a Marty Byrde Jr. She doesn’t like that comment.
Marty’s going through one of Navarro’s men’s financials when he discovers there’s a cash flow discrepancy. The accountant claims it wasn’t him but his boss beats him anyway.
Meanwhile, Navarro (Felix Solis) is walking down the hall in prison when suddenly he’s shanked by a man several times. He’s injured but ends up getting the upper hand and strangles the man.
Wendy calls Marty to tell him about what happened to Navarro. She reveals he’s in a coma and doesn’t know when he’ll wake up.
Omar’s sister comes to talk to Marty about the attack in prison and it’s obvious he doesn’t want anyone to know Omar’s in a coma. Marty dodges the truth and tells Camila he is strong and he took down the man who tried to kill him. She briefly looks surprised. Marty asks about one of Navarro’s men, Cabrera, and Camila says she’s known him since he was a boy. Marty informs her he caught him cheating the cartel. Camila confesses Javi never trusted Cabrera.
Marty has Cabrera taken to the same hole he was once held in. Cabrera’s tortured but refuses to say he ordered the hit on Navarro.
Nathan visits his daughter and gives her missing persons flyers to put up for Ben. He wonders how Jonah’s doing and if he’s upset. When Wendy looks puzzled, he asks if Jonah told her about the sheriff. He lets her in on the fact the sheriff was interrogating her son at the hotel. She seems pleased Jonah was questioned and asks if Nathan knows what the sheriff was after. He doesn’t know and doesn’t care. His concern is for her son and it should be her concern too.
Back in Mexico, Cabrera continues to be beaten and tortured. Marty stops them and steps outside for a moment. The priest finds him and they have a conversation about God.
Ruth gets in the U-Haul and heads back to the Snell place while still being followed. The cops watch as she loads items into the back of the truck. They stop her at the end of the driveway and she explains she was getting her cousin’s things out of the house. When they open the U-Haul, they don’t find what they’re looking for because Ruth isn’t stupid.
While Ruth’s U-Haul’s being searched Frank Jr’s men are at the barn loading up the drugs.
Jonah’s passing out flyers and Wendy asks for some so she can help pass them out. Wendy then spots her dad’s girlfriend Annalise and Charlotte selling baked goods. Wendy asks for a favor from Charlotte, requesting she attend the fundraising dinner. Even though Charlotte isn’t happy with her mom for making her dad go to Mexico, she agrees to help her out anyway.
Ruth shows up at the search headquarters and asks Wendy if she’s proud of herself. She knows Ben won’t be coming back and yet she’s got her kids out there lying to everyone. Wendy says no one asked Ruth to be part of the search, and Ruth lets her know that indeed someone did ask her to be there – Wendy’s father. Ruth is over listening to Wendy and informs her that her little plan with the sheriff didn’t work and her deal with Shaw is over. She warns Wendy to stay out of her business.
Wendy and Charlotte’s planning session for the fundraising dinner is interrupted when Jim breaks the news the dinner isn’t happening. Shaw Medical pulled out and will not be donating. He reminds her she needs money to get people on her side and they only have one more crack at this.
Wendy leaves another threatening voice message for Clare warning her if she’s not happy then the people she works for aren’t happy. Wendy will give her one more chance to fix this.
Marty continues to have Cabrera tortured while demanding he admits he ordered a hit on Navarro. Cabrera finally admits to messing with the books but swears he didn’t order a hit.
A short while later Cabrera’s had enough and takes the blame, confessing he ordered the hit.
Season four episode 10 ends with Marty telling Wendy about everything going on in Mexico and watching as Cabrera is killed.

A woman wakes to find her son dead; days later her boyfriend is found hanged with his final message claiming the mother wasn’t to blame. Did she fail her child or was she an innocent mother?

Did he murder his wife or was he medically insane?”
NBC’s This Is Us season 6 episode 15 will reveal more about Miguel’s backstory and how/when he fell in love with Rebecca. We’ve learned pretty much everything there is to know about the Big Three, Rebecca, and Jack at this point, but Miguel’s remained more of a mystery despite the fact Jon Huertas has been part of the cast since 2016.
Episode 15, appropriately titled “Miguel,” will air on Tuesday, May 3, 2022 at 9pm ET/PT. The super-short episode description provided by NBC simply states: “Miguel over the years.”
The sixth and final season stars Milo Ventimiglia as Jack Pearson, Mandy Moore as Rebecca Pearson, Sterling K. Brown as Randall, Chrissy Metz as Kate, Justin Hartley as Kevin, Susan Kelechi Watson as Beth Pearson, and Chris Sullivan as Toby.
The Plot, Courtesy of NBC:
Everyone has a family. And every family has a story. This Is Us chronicles the Pearson family across the decades: from Jack (Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Moore) as young parents in the 1980s to their kids (the big three), Kevin (Hartley), Kate (Metz) and Randall (Brown) searching for love and fulfillment in the present day along with Toby (Sullivan) and Beth (Kelechi Watson).
This grounded, life-affirming dramedy reveals how the tiniest events in our lives impact who we become, and how the connections we share with each other can transcend time, distance, and even death.

Netflix’s Ozark season four episode nine opens with Wendy (Laura Linney) and Marty (Jason Bateman) back in their hotel room trying to drink away the night’s events. (Episode eight ended with Ruth killing Javi and the Byrdes left to clean up). It’s no surprise Wendy immediately blames Marty for what went down.
They play the blame game with each other, and Marty feels he could have talked Ruth out of killing Javi. Wendy scoffs at that suggestion. She’s dumbfounded that Marty apologized to Ruth, and Marty reminds her that Ruth has lost her entire family because of them.
Marty, who actually seems remorseful, begins to shed some tears. It’s safe to say Wendy isn’t even on the verge of crying, which isn’t a big shocker at all. Although our opinion of Wendy doesn’t seem like it could get any worse, she proves us wrong and lowers the bar yet again after Marty says, “I’m just so sick of having blood on my hands, Wendy. It doesn’t bother you?” Wendy places all the blame squarely on Marty’s shoulders, saying he’s the one who suggested this life. He’s the one who knew better.
Marty admits he got them into this but no one talked her into it. She was excited about this life.
Marty asks how much Wendy wants and she says they had it five hours ago and he threw it all away. Marty thinks enough is enough but, of course, Wendy isn’t ready to give up. She’s not falling on her sword because Marty messed up. To get her point across she throws in, “If you love me you wouldn’t give up.”
Ruth (Julia Garner) returns home and when her cousin Three (Carson Holmes) asks if she did it, she simply replies yes.
Wendy is back at the Shaw building waiting for Clare when Clare’s bodyguard, Conner McVeigh (David A. MacDonald), informs her Clare isn’t there and she should just go home.
Private investigator Mel Sattem (Adan Rothenberg) is the bearer of bad news to Helen’s ex-husband. Mel explains Helen was working with the Mexican cartel and Helen’s husband reacts in disbelief. (How did he not know this after all these years?). Mel tells him he might be able to get more information but he believes she’s dead and she was murdered in the States. (We know that’s not true. She was shot in Mexico in season three.)
Their daughter Erin admits she already knows what happened and urges her dad not to look any further. She realizes that if the cartel is involved it could be dangerous for them to pursue the matter. Mel tries to push for the investigation while Erin begs her dad to let it go. Ultimately, Helen’s ex-husband listens to his daughter and excuses Mel with a thank you for all his work.
Meanwhile, Marty and Wendy are back home and Wendy’s mad because she assumes Jonah’s the one who told Ruth about Javi. However, one look at Charlotte (Sofia Hublitz) and she realizes it wasn’t Jonah. Wendy yells at her daughter, asking why she would do such a thing. Charlotte tries to tell her she didn’t mean to.
Wendy’s anger toward Charlotte is put on hold when the FBI shows up.
Agent Hannah Clay (Tess Malis Kincaid) briefs them on Javi and explains he never showed up at the airport to return to Mexico. Plus, all his clothes are still in his hotel room. Agent Clay wonders if he told them his plans. Marty says no and Wendy mentions he was going to meet a former professor for dinner.
Marty jumps to the point and asks where their deal stands. Agent Clay explains that without Javi there isn’t any deal. She reminds them this will create problems in the Navarro cartel, and they were apparently the last people to see Javi alive. It doesn’t take a genius to know that doesn’t look good for the Byrdes.
Clay suggests that if they’re willing to testify against Omar Navarro, she can get them into the witness protection program. Wendy lets it be known they don’t want that and asks how they can get their deal back. Wendy suggests extraditing Navarro back to Mexico. Once he’s there he can most likely break out of prison and everything they agreed upon can move forward.
Agent Clay correctly points out Wendy’s reaching but Wendy doesn’t give up. Wendy thinks Omar was always the better choice because he’s stable and knows the cartel inside and out. Agent Clay points out that Navarro is on the SDN (Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons) list which makes extradition impossible.
Marty picks up on Wendy’s plan and asks what it will take to convince Agent Clay’s bosses that Navarro’s still in control. Clay believes money combined with continuing seizures might work. Wendy wants to see Navarro in person and Clay attempts, once again, to talk them into entering witness protection.
Clare Shaw (Katrina Lenk) arrives home to find Javi’s lawyer and some of his men in her driveway. The lawyer asks if she’s seen Javi and Clare claims she spoke with him over the phone the night before about stock options but she didn’t see him. The lawyer tries to get her to change her story but Clare holds firm to her lie.
PI Mel receives a call for a new job and it appears he’s heading back to the Ozarks.
Ruth is loading up baby Zeke in the car when she spots the gun she used to kill Javi in the passenger seat of her truck. She throws it in the lake right in front of her trailer. (Ruth’s usually much smarter than this.)
Ruth heads over to the sheriff’s station with Zeke and gives her statement. Sheriff Guerrero (CC Castillo) wants to know where Ruth’s been the last 24 hours. Ruth doesn’t answer but instead tells the sheriff to do Zeke a favor and not give him to Wendy Byrde. The sheriff brings the questioning back to where Ruth’s been. Ruth lies and says after she found Wyatt and Darlene she took Zeke and then needed to clear her head. The sheriff confirms she’s aware they were in the drug business together and asks if the murders had to do with drugs. Ruth claims not to know anything.
Marty goes to see Agent Maya Miller (Jessica Frances Dukes) and says he’s now willing to take her deal. He’ll do jail time and will come work with the FBI after his time in prison. Maya reveals that not only does she not give a crap about him, she knows Wendy would never go for it. They would lose the casino and he’ll have a criminal record. Marty reminds her she didn’t have to arrest Navarro, basically suggesting this could be Maya’s fault his family’s in danger. Maya says the deal is long gone and he’s just another criminal in her eyes now.
Wendy gets her wish and is allowed to visit Omar Navarro (Felix Solis) in prison. She informs him that she spoke with the FBI and his nephew Javi has disappeared. They are assuming he’s dead and don’t know who’s responsible. Omar isn’t stupid and accuses Wendy of knowing what happened to Javi. She changes the subject and tells Omar the FBI can get him off the SDN list and extradite him back to Mexico. They just have to establish that Navarro is still in control.
Omar has had it with the Byrdes and warns Wendy that if he wasn’t handcuffed to a table right now, he would kill her. He also threatens to kill Marty and her children. Wendy, looking smug, reminds him he’s in solitary confinement and asks who does he think let her in there? She assures Omar that the FBI will listen to her.
Omar screams at Wendy to get out and warns her that he’ll find a way to kill her.
PI Mel’s return to the Ozarks was financed by none other than Nathan Davis (Richard Thomas), Wendy’s dear old dad. Nathan’s going to be actively involved in the search for Ben and shows up at the Lazy-O Motel with a bus full of his church friends. Mel warns him he might not find any good news.
Jonah (Skylar Gaertner) spots his grandpa and after they greet each other, Nathan explains he’s there to find Ben. Nathan thinks it’s weird Jonah’s at the hotel and Jonah says he lives at the Lazy-O now because he needed space.
Wendy calls Agent Clay and lies, telling her Navarro is interested in the new deal. Wendy wants the FBI to move Omar from solitary confinement to protected custody and that Navarro must know it was the Byrdes who got him moved. Clay agrees.
Wendy continues with this lie and tells Marty that Omar’s interested but angry.
Marty informs Wendy they have another problem; her dad is there to search for Ben. Nathan tells his daughter he hired a PI from Chicago and Marty asks if his name’s Mel. Nathan confirms it is. Wendy fills in a little backstory on Mel, telling her dad he’s an ex-cop who got caught stealing drugs out of an evidence locker and that he’s an addict. Nathan isn’t fazed by that development.
As Nathan gets up to leave, he shares his concern about his grandkids. He assures Wendy he’s not leaving until he knows what happened to Ben and that his grandkids are okay.
Marty visits Ruth because she’s not returning Harry’s calls on what to do with Wyatt’s body. Marty tells her he’ll handle it and she agrees to let him.
Wendy calls Clare again and it just wouldn’t be Wendy if she didn’t issue a threat. She leaves a voice message letting her know she would hate to tell their donors that Shaw Medical doesn’t make good on their promises.
Charlotte announces she’s going out to dinner with her grandpa. Wendy and Marty reluctantly decide to go to dinner with Nathan as well.
Nathan brings up that he spoke with the sheriff and she told him about the murder of Wyatt and Darlene. Charlotte confirms Wyatt was her friend and that his cousin was dating Ben. Nathan starts reminiscing about how Wendy ran away at 10 and brings up how Ben use to worship Wendy. Wendy’s had enough, makes an excuse about an early meeting, and leaves.
On the way home Wendy’s convinced her dad’s going to turn her kids against them. She admits they have done harm to their kids by dragging them through all of this. (You think?!) Marty takes this opportunity to tell Wendy he went to see Maya about the deal. He doesn’t lie and admits Maya turned him down.
Mel meets with Maya and explains he’s learned Wendy lied. The day Ben went missing Wendy rented a car. They agree to keep each other informed of any new developments.
Navarro is moved to the jail’s more open protected custody area. The first thing he does is make a phone call.
The day of Wyatt’s funeral arrives and Nathan shows up. He notices Wendy is absent and Marty claims she had to work.
Ruth leaves before she can bring herself to throw dirt on Wyatt’s casket.
Wendy comes home to find Omar’s right-hand man Nelson and his priest in her house. She assumes they’re there to kill her, but the priest wants to talk. He asks if she really believes she can get Omar out. She says she wants to try. He then asks if she believes in God. Wendy doesn’t know what his angle is and he claims Omar’s arrest is an opportunity for all of them. He promises Wendy he can help her find her way. Wendy assures the priest she doesn’t need him to save her.
Before he leaves, the priest tells her Navarro wants to see them tomorrow. After the men leave Wendy the Ice Maiden actually cries.
Navarro claims he can not run his operation from prison and Marty offers to go to Mexico for him. Marty believes he can represent Omar’s interests and can make sure the money is flowing. Navarro thinks they won’t just accept Marty but Marty wants to try. Navarro’s certain it won’t be easy and knows he must seem powerful to his people or they won’t respect his leadership. Navarro believes his men must think he’s the one who killed Javi. Marty will be the one to deliver that message to them.
In a strange turn of events, Clare and Conner make the trip to Ruth’s place. Clare explains she needs Ruth’s product since she’s the one who killed the guy she was in business with. Ruth wonders why she would ever help them out and Conner reminds her they have a video of her blowing a man’s head off. Ruth seems unfazed by that. She enters her trailer and returns with a shotgun, warning them it’s not smart to try and blackmail a woman they’ve just seen kill a man. Clare promises this is a deal that will be very lucrative to them both.
Maya and Mel meet up again. This time Maya has surveillance video from a store showing the police arriving and talking to Wendy and Ben.
Clare, surprisingly, answers Wendy’s call but it’s only to tell her their deal is over. Wendy warns Clare that her company won’t survive without them. “We’ll see about that,” replies Clare before hanging up on Wendy.
Ruth heads over to Darlene’s and retrieves the keys to the barn where the heroin’s being made.
Season four episode nine closes with Charlotte begging Marty not to go to Mexico. She’s worried he’ll get killed. Wendy attempts to tell her Marty’s doing this for the family. Charlotte says that’s not the case; he is doing it for her.
