It seemed like the identity of the Ferryman, the one who sent the hitman after Angelo’s (Patrick Dempsey) daughter Maria (Odeya Rush) in the series premiere, was going to be a Memory of a Killer Season 1 finale reveal. But instead, the Fox thriller reveals that person’s identity in Episode 8, two before the finale. That’s not the only big moment in this episode, either.
But what is still to come is the confrontation. For now, the audience knows and Angelo knows, but the Ferryman doesn’t know he does. And let’s just say that we were right about something when we spoke with co-showrunner and executive producer Aaron Zelman about the second episode. Warning: Spoilers for Memory of a Killer Season 1 Episode 8 ahead!
