Exclusive Countdown Sneak Peek: Amber Offers Mark Comfort — But Does She Know His Secret?
This Wednesday on Prime Video's Countdown, Oliveras (played by Jessica Camacho) calls out Meachum (Jensen Ackles) on his 'junkie'-like behavior, what with all the squinting and taking 20 minutes to descend a stairwell.
That tees up a heart-to-heart between the task force partners, during which we and Mark learn a lot about Amber's Chicago origins and how they're not particularly conducive to going UC with hardcore Mexican drug runners. Mark in turn confides (some of) his situation, all leading to the exclusive TVLine sneak peek above.

Meachum, we learned from a doctor in Episode 1, was diagnosed nine months prior with glioblastoma multiforme, a highly aggressive and malignant type of brain tumor. Oliveras, meanwhile, picked up a drug addiction during one of her undercover DEA assignments, SAC Blythe learned from a friend.
'One of the things we talked about with Amazon,' showrunner Derek Haas told TVLine, 'is that the countdown clock isn't just this giant external threat to a major city… but it's also an internal countdown clock that's going on with multiple characters.'
Meachum's personal 'countdown' clock understandably has fans of Ackles and his character on edge, given the fact that the symptoms are only getting worse and worse, as alluded to by Oliveras in the exclusive clip above.
But, worried you should be.
'I don't want you comfortable in this show, [thinking] that these characters that you've gotten to know and love are going to be around the whole time, because otherwise the danger doesn't feel real,' Haas told TVLine ahead of the season. 'Anytime that they roll out, I want you on the edge of your seat.'
