Laura Linney is learning just how dirty the money-laundering business can be onOzark.

Wendy has a few tricks and a secret up her sleeve as well.

Ive known him a little bit socially we were fond acquaintances and Ive always had a pull toward Jason.

It was so apparent and so obvious how important this project is to him.

And thankfully my instincts were right.

We had afantasticfirst season.

I really felt like I landed in a pot of honey.

And time is valuable.

He doesnt rush the time and he doesnt squander time.

Hes just in it.

As an actor, when hes just acting, hes a little looser, as you have to be.

Its a slightly different energy.

What is Wendys greatest asset and greatest liability?Her greatest asset is her scrappiness.

She knows how to survive.

The same thing, actually.

Her field of vision can get very narrow.

What was the most challenging scene that you filmed?All the scenes on water.

Acting on water its a different experience than acting on land.

One of the wonderful things thats happened with television lately are these site-specific shows.

AndOzarkhas really embraced that, and its what sets it apart a little bit.

There are some huge differences, but theres a similar focus.

Its also someone who is smart but dealing with a very primal instinct.

Its that combination and one cant overwhelm the other.

But our show is really about money.

The power of money.

What money does to you.

Its the reason for everything.

It causes the show to happen, it keeps it going.

Its the heartbeat of the show, actually.

Whats the best thing to do with eight million dollars?I think you save a little.

Ive tried to follow his lead there.

And you give a lot of it away.

For me, it would be arts education.

you’ve got the option to help other people.

Theres my bleeding liberal heart.

Its one of those Well live together, well die together decisions.

I dont think its very well thought-out.

The way that shes behaved the series is just instinctive and reactionary.

I dont even thinksheunderstands why shes doing it, but theres a primal instinct and she just follows it.

It doesnt finish the story, but I also think its satisfying.

And if were not, then it will be left feeling completed.

The stakes have multiplied, maybe exponentially, with Marty now caught between two cartels.

They solve one thing, and then it just opens up and leads to many more problems.

Theyre constantly grasping for shore and theyre not there yet.

The writers havent gotten together yet.

I think well be eager and ready to go if were given the permission to do so.

There are so many good characters all in one place that something fun is going to happen.
