About Memory of a Killer Episode 5: Plot and Title
The fifth episode is officially titled Betrayal. While specific plot details are being kept secret, the title strongly suggests a major turning point. The story follows Patrick Dempsey as Angelo Doyle, a man leading two lives: a loving father and a skilled hitman for a New York criminal organization. A central struggle is his battle with early-onset Alzheimer’s, which threatens his ability to protect his family after his pregnant daughter is targeted.
Michael Imperioli co-stars as Dutch Forlanni, Angelo’s long-time friend and employer who runs a restaurant as a front for his operations. The dynamic between Angelo and Dutch is complex, built on both friendship and business. Given Dutch’s description as “ruthless and mercurial” and not particularly trustworthy, the episode title Betrayal could directly impact their relationship.
The series logline states: “Angelo must stop whoever’s coming for his family by searching his past hits for clues, and the list is very long.”
Episode 5 will likely see Angelo’s investigation into the threat against his family deepen, forcing him to confront his past while his memory becomes less reliable.
