The installment found Robbie frantic as he tried locating Cliff (Ra\u00fal Castillo<\/a>) following his run-in with the Dark Hearts, and after a meet-up with Erin (Margarita Levieva<\/a>), it was clear to him that Jayson (Sam Keeley<\/a>) was the culprit responsible for Cliff\u2019s absence and apparent demise. Robbie also sought out a way to sell the drugs he\u2019d stolen from the gang, opting to team with Shelley (Mickey Sumner<\/a>) to offload the goods in exchange for cash.<\/p>\n Putting himself in danger, Robbie met with dealer Freddie Frias (Elvis Nolasco<\/a>) to come to a deal. Eventually, Robbie went home to find Maeve (Emilia Jones<\/a>) had taken Sam (Ben Doherty), and we learn she\u2019s turned him into the FBI, cooperating with the feds. But that wasn\u2019t before Dark Hearts boss Perry (Jamie McShane<\/a>) showed up to look around the property, claiming he needed to grab some items that belonged to her dad.<\/p>\n Tom Pelphrey in ‘Task’ <\/p>\n Peter Kramer \/ HBO<\/p>\n With the walls essentially closing in, Robbie prepared to leave the house, but was met by Tom Brandis in the driveway, who claimed he was there to seek out Maeve in regards to her father Billy\u2019s cold case. He talks his way into the house and is communicating with task force member, Anthony Grasso (Fabien Frankel<\/a>), unaware he\u2019s a crooked agent, but their texts are interrupted when Tom is sent a sketch resembling Robbie as the suspect who kidnapped Sam.<\/p>\n Robbie holds a gun to Tom\u2019s head and forces him into his car, taking him hostage, as they drive down the highway. Robbie and Tom\u2019s discussion revolves around life after death and their views of the world. All the while, Robbie tells Tom about everything he knows, ranging from Jayson being responsible for Billy and Cliff\u2019s deaths to him hitting houses in retaliation for his brother\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n The candid conversation occurs while Robbie has a gun to Tom\u2019s back, but as he directs the FBI agent down a dirt road, he instructs him towards a lake and asks that Tom make sure Maeve isn\u2019t held responsible for his actions, freeing the agent and continuing on his own path. When Tom gets in touch with his team, they pick him up, and they track the car Robbie took through the satellite radio. Little do most of the agents know, apart from Grasso, that the Dark Hearts are also in pursuit of Robbie, and everything is about to converge.<\/p>\n As Tom calls out to Robbie from the edge of a river, the Dark Hearts have also closed in, but what\u2019s next? Only time will tell. As for Robbie finally colliding with Tom, Pelphrey tells TV Insider, \u201cit\u2019s such a beautiful juxtaposition. One of the things I was struck by between Robbie and Tom is that here you have this ex-priest who\u2019s, in a very real way, grappling with loss of faith, what faith means, and his own understanding of god. On the other hand, you have Robbie who, in a strange way, lives in faith.\u201d<\/p>\n Viewers get a taste of this in the opening and closing moments, in which Robbie takes water and rubs it on his chest, a practice he and his brother took up before jumping into the cool waters of the quarry to swim in the winter months. While he claimed he did it to keep from having his heart explode, the action is more loaded in the final minutes as he seems to get ready for whatever action is ahead.<\/p>\n \u201cNow, he says he doesn\u2019t believe in God, so he\u2019s not living in a sort of religious faith, but he\u2019s constantly saying things happen for a reason, and he\u2019s acting like things happen for a reason,\u201d Pelphrey explains of Robbie\u2019s approach. \u201cI found that to be more of a subtle way that they\u2019re kind of an interesting opposite side of the same coin, Tom and Robbie.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Tom](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/36cb968a27a937dc2d5c28fba33f62e5.jpeg\"\/)
