Marvel Cinematic Universe regular Ruffalo stars in the seven-episode season as an FBI agent who, at the behest of his boss (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/martha-plimpton\/\" id=\"auto-tag_martha-plimpton_1\" data-tag=\"martha-plimpton\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Martha Plimpton<\/a>), leads a cross-agency task force to investigate a spate of home invasion robberies in the working-class suburbs of Philadelphia. Pelphrey (Mank, Ozark) plays the man orchestrating the robberies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tHBO also released a new trailer for Task that strongly suggests Pelphrey\u2019s character has personal motivation for the robberies: \u201cI\u2019m going to take their money so we can have a better life,\u201d he says, seemingly referring to a biker gang that traffics drugs.
