Ozark · Season 1, Episode 15

Wendy Byrde and Marty Byrde in “Unfinished Business”

Are you really okay? This doesn't feel like something you'd get over in a day.

Well, it was-- it was hell. I wasn't lying, and I-- I told the kids that, but, um... Wendy, this might have been the best thing that could have ever happened. I spent a decade afraid of something, and when it finally arrived, it wasn't at all what I thought it would be. And I wasn't who I thought I would be.

What does that mean?

It means you were right. Me burying my head in the sand wasn't gonna keep us safe, but I figured out what is.

What's that?

I'm gonna turn Agent Miller. I'm gonna put her in our pocket. That's what I told Navarro. That's what got me out.

The warrant is gonna expire in a couple of weeks. If we just wait it out, she'll be gone.

They're gonna keep coming back. That's what Maya said, that this is gonna be a long play for them.

"Maya"?

Yeah. Yeah, that's what she said. Years. We'll never know when the hammer's gonna fall, and she's very... she's very good. [laughs] I don't know if I can stay in front of her. But if we own her... all the anxiety goes away. Wendy, if you want safety, if you want to get the kids out, this is it. You hear me?

People...People don't just turn an FBI agent.

Right.

So why don't we just...take a breath...

What are you doing?

...be still.

Don't do that. You asked me to get involved, and this is what it looks like. This is me supporting you, Wendy.
