PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA: Prime Video's engrossing crime series, 'American Rust: Broken Justice', concludes its gripping narrative in Episode 10, which is filled with shocking revelations and unexpected plot twists.

In the initial episodes, viewers witness Lee English (Julia Mayorga) stepping into the role of a paralegal in Pittsburgh.

As the storyline develops, Lee becomes increasingly suspicious of her law firm's illicit activities and she delves deeper into her investigation and uncovers startling evidence.

The murder of Sue Herlitz (Emily Davis) and the tragic suicide of Nell McKenna cast doubt in Del Harris' mind, leading him to believe that Lee English may be in danger.

While admitted at the hospital, Del Harris becomes alarmed upon viewing surveillance footage that captures Sue Herlitz visiting Nell McKenna's house a few weeks earlier.

This raises suspicions about the potential connection between Sue's murder and Nell's suicide, prompting Del to leave the hospital and launch his own inquiry.

His investigation leads him to Ramona Paltz, Sue's assistant, who discloses that Sue had been planning to expose Landwill Energy for manipulating water test results and fabricating data to attract land leases more easily.

Sue intended to take the case to the state Attorney General's office, with Nell as her key witness.

Nell, who secretly worked for Landwill Energy, felt threatened after they killed her husband, as she demanded a larger share of their illicit dealings.

Ramona reveals that whoever threatened Nell was responsible for Sue's murder. In a moment of realization, Del contacts the prison to inquire about visitors to Nell before her suicide.

To his astonishment, Lee English's name appears on the list, leading him to suspect that Lee could be Landwill Energy's next target.

Del attempts to reach out to Lee fails as she accidentally left her cell phone at her ex-husband's residence.

Faced with the challenge of finding a way to save Lee, Del contacts Chief Steve Park (Rob Yang), despite their strained history.

Initially hesitant to offer assistance, Steve eventually agrees when Del proposes a deal: if Steve can reach Lee's house in time to rescue her, Del will confess to his crimes.

However, upon arriving at Lee's house, Steve finds that Landwill Energy's fixer, Russell Wolfe (Christopher Denham), has already killed Lee and is now targeting Steve and his colleague Hannah Geddy (Rae Gray). Acting swiftly, Steve manages to neutralize Russell.

When Del finally arrives at Lee's house, he is devastated to discover her dead.
