Ozark deaths: Who died in Ozark season 4?

Camilla tells Clare if she knows anything about the death of her son Javi and hasn't told her, if she finds out she lied she's going to make sure she's slit in half. Clare almost immediately gives up Ruth Langmore's name and seals her fate, leading her to be shot by the new Cartel boss. And that's exactly what happens in the series finale. Just as everything seems to be going smoothly for the Byrdes, Camila Elizonndro (Veronica Falcón) – the sister to drug lord Omar Navarro – has one last piece of business to take care of. I use the word “overestimate,” because Ozark, the prestige-adjacent Netflix drama about a Chicago family lured into laundering money for a drug cartel, has already played with making the underestimated its heroes.

Maya turning the tables on her superiors at the FBI and having Omar arrested — that’s not gonna be great for her career, right? She basically committed career suicide to remain true [to herself]; she just could not break her moral code. But they can’t come out [against her] publicly because, what, she wasn’t supposed to arrest the biggest drug kingpin in the world?

Ozark season 4 part 2 ending explained *spoilers*

Ruth wants Wendy to promise her that if she helps, the rest is on her. She can't control whether the kids ultimately go with their parents. In a final touching moment between the two women, they commiserate over their dads being "real pieces of s---." Ruth asks Wendy if the institution is bearable, and Wendy says everything is.

Before we get to other big moment, a quick note on the car crash that opened season four part one. In the scene, if you don't recall, the whole Byrde family is in the family car talking about their big move to Chicago now that they're done with the Ozarks. Amid the euphoria, Marty stops paying attention and swerves off the road, making the car flip and tumble off road. That plan goes awry when Camila goes to prison to say a final goodbye to Omar. There Omar, realizing something's amiss, tells Camila that he didn't kill Javi at all and that he doesn't know who did -- he only knows what Wendy Byrde told him. Camila believes him but goes through with the assassination anyway.

Ozark Boss Says Horrifying Season 4 [Spoiler] Was Not Part of ‘Original Plan,’ Admits ‘It Was Really Hard’

Mason kidnaps Wendy, and while Marty negotiated an impossible deal for Zeke to return to him, Mason was suspicious. His paranoia resulted in him trying to kill Marty and Wendy, which ultimately led Marty to accidentally shoot Mason through the neck. The Byrdes took custody of Zeke, but were forced to give custody to Darlene Snell later. A righteous preacher in Ozark Season 1, Mason Young learned the hard way what happens when rejecting an offer from dangerous people. His pregnant wife was brutally murdered by the Snells shortly after they delivered his son Zeke. The trauma from the event drove Mason from the Ozarks, only to become a homeless preacher on street corners.

Nathan claimed that he was in town to find out what happened to his missing son, Ben (Tom Pelphrey). Really, he came to town so that he could get sympathy points from his congregation. That goal changed once the truth about Ben emerged. In Season 4, Charlotte steps up more in the family business. She pays less attention to school and doesn't even take the SAT's. She decides not to go to college, but rather to go back to Chicago to help her parents.

Did Jonah Byrde really kill Mel Sattem in Ozark season 4?

Once Del was gone, Helen Pierce stepped into the picture to be the effective point man for the interests of the Navarro Drug Cartel. Eventually, Helen entered more of a collaborative partnership with the Byrdes and was a part of the seemingly impossible casino deal that went through. Ruth Langmore's father was mentioned in Ozark in Season 1, but didn't come into the story until Season 2. Ruth's father resented the father/daughter relationship Ruth had with Marty, and was generally a pain in everyone's side including Ruth. Buddy was the Byrde family's terminally ill roommate when they moved to the Ozarks, and stayed with them until his death. Buddy came of use to the Byrdes on many occasions, most notably in connecting Marty to the Kansas City mafia and torching the Snell family's poppy fields.

In the final scenes, we see Marty and Wendy congregate about their options and realize they have none. After four seasons of wriggling out of tough spots, they're utterly powerless. They're safe, but can do nothing to save Ruth -- which is painful to both them and us.

But thanks to an interrogation from Ruth Langmore, Nathan is shown to be nothing more than a vindictive dad who's taking Jonah and Charlotte away purely to spite Wendy. Once Nathan Davis, held at gunpoint by Ruth, tells this to Jonah and Charlotte, the kids decide to reunite with Marty and Wendy. Explaining the death to Vanity Fair, showrunner Chris Mundy said Ozark would be too much of a fairytale if Ruth were to survive. "I wanted everybody to have active choices in the last seven episodes," Mundy said to the publication. "Ruth could go for revenge or not, and she knows if she did, it is going to unleash things that might end up with her getting harmed."

Over the course of its four seasons, Ozark has evolved into one of the most shocking and addicting crime dramas on television. TVLINE

Even though it’s a really hard decision, we’ve got to do the thing that pushes Ruth to [her] most raw.” It was the only thing that could lay her bare. I would not have wanted to be without Wyatt for that long. But knowing we were coming to the end — and what it could do to the dynamic for the final seven episodes — I knew it was the right decision.

Does Wendy still think she’s doing all of this for her family? We’re playing with Wendy’s sanity quite a bit, especially in the [final] seven [episodes]. I think she really does believe she wants to do good. But, at the same, she’s done so much bad that she has to double and triple down on it to even believe that little kernel [of truth].

But apparently it does, as we hear the sound of a gun cock as Jonah appears from inside. ” Wendy asks, and after the screen fades to black, a gunshot can be heard as Al Green’s “Love and Happiness” begins playing over a blank screen. Off-screen, Hublitz has taken cues from her own parents, especially in the creative realm.
