The Horse faces mounting difficulties in the criminal world in 'Parish' Episode 2
In 'Parish' Episode 2, The Horse, the leader of a criminal gang in New Orleans, is seen grappling with a series of mounting difficulties.
In Episode 1, The Horse is portrayed as a mysterious and enigmatic figure, hinting at a complex backstory and hidden motives. Soon after, it becomes clear that The Horse's criminal gang is involved in human trafficking.
In this episode, a conflict arises between The Horse and his brother Zenzo, highlighted by The Horse's assertion of his leadership, revealing a power struggle within the criminal gang.
It appears that Zenzo is unhappy with his brother because The Horse is the leader of the gang, and not him. It is likely that Zenzo will become antagonistic towards his brother, as the seeds of enmity have already been planted.
From the very first episode, Zenzo is depicted as a highly egotistical man who cannot take orders. However, his brother, The Horse, has made it clear that Zenzo must follow his instructions because he works under him.
Zenzo could pose significant challenges for The Horse in the future and might also plan to kill him. As tensions between the brothers escalate, The Horse may also find it increasingly difficult to maintain control within the gang.
As the episode progresses, Zenzo spends time with The Horse's son. However, it is apparent that he is not happy.
Is Zenzo trying to kill The Horse in 'Parish'?
As Episode 2 progresses, viewers witness masked men following The Horse's car, hinting at a potential threat to his safety.
The Horse is in the car with his son, and Gray is driving when masked men start to attack the car. This sudden and unexpected assault puts both The Horse and his son in grave danger.
It seems that Zenzo must have planned this attack. After The Horse asserted his authority as the leader, Zenzo's ego was clearly wounded, leading to a noticeable shift in his body language towards both The Horse and his son.
Zenzo must have hired those masked men to attack The Horse and his son, possibly as a way to teach his brother a lesson and assert his own authority. In the upcoming episode, viewers can expect to see the full extent of Zenzo's plan unfold.
'Parish' Episode 2 is now streaming on AMC
