'Fargo' season 3 episode 5 spoilers: Ray to attempt to make more money off Emmit by blackmail

It seems that last week's heist only gave Ray (Ewan McGregor) a taste of what it is like to take money off his brother Emmit (also played by McGregor). In episode 5, he and his girlfriend Nikki (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) will attempt to make money off his sibling by making a sex tape.

According to IBT, the couple will connive to make a sex tape, with Ray disguising himself as Emmit once again. The trailer shows Nikki as the instigator of the plan, with her boyfriend showing reluctance to pushing through with it, although they ultimately continue with their blackmail attempt. They send a note to Emmit, along with a copy of the video, telling him to give them $100,000 or they will show the video to his wife Stella (Linda Kash). However, Stella ends up being the one to find the note and the CD.

Emmit and Ray, meanwhile, will have a fight about the money. Ray will threaten Emmit, but the latter tells him, "You're dead. Do you hear me?"

Meanwhile, V.M. Varga (David Thewlis), along with his lackeys Meemo (Andy Yu) and Yuri (Goran Bogdan), will confront Sy (Michael Stuhlbarg) about his meeting with Winnie (Olivia Sandoval), who was shown investigating in the previous episode. The trailer hints that Sy may have ended up knowing more than what he has bargained for, as he is shown calling Emmit, saying, "It's worse than we thought."

Speaking of Winnie, she and Gloria (Carrie Coon) will slowly uncover the mystery surrounding the death of Ennis Stussy (Scott Hylands), whose connection to the Stussy brothers remains unclear so far. One scene in the trailer shows Gloria telling Donny (Mark Forward) that Ray was the one who hired Maurice (Scoot McNairy) to rob Ray.

Episode 5 of season 3 titled "The House of Special Purpose" will air on May 17, Wednesday, at 10 p.m. on FX.
