- [Narrator] There are only 14 episodes of Ozark left.
(Darlene laughing)
- [Marty] Not a joke.
- No?
- [Marty] No.
- We're just the messengers here.
- [Narrator] We think you'll like the message.
[Narrator] We're giving you everything we can tell you
about the first seven episodes of Ozarks final season.
First, let's do a quick recap of the first three seasons.
Marty Byrde, Wendy Byrde, and their kids,
Charlotte and Jonah move to the Ozarks
after Marty made a lifesaving deal to launder money
for the Navarro cartel.
Once in the Ozarks, Marty quickly recognized
the business savvy and criminal potential
in local petty thief, Ruth Langmore,
and brought her on as his associate.
Since then the Byrde's have expanded their influence
and business empire while facing a constant string
of regional rivals, like opium queen pin,
Darlene Snell in the Kansas City mob.
- Is this true?
- [Narrator] The Byrde's have also had to navigate
the demands of the Navarro cartel while steering clear
of prosecution from the FBI and rebuffing
a power grab attempt by cartel lawyer, Helen.
Outside the Byrde home, Ruth fell in love
with Wendy's brother Ben.
And after killing her own husband,
Darlene linked up with Ruth's cousin Wyatt.
Don't be ageist.
At the end of season three,
Wendy arranged for Ben to be killed after he upset Helen
and the cartel.
Then, Navarro had Helen killed.
(gun blasting)
- You want to, you want to talk about the Ben of it all.
- [Narrator] Wendy's decision to have Ben killed
was meant to smooth things over for the Byrde's,
but the fallout is (gun clanking) rocky.
Heartbroken, Ruth goes from Marty's right-hand woman
to the Byrde's direct rival.
- You know your business needs fresh blood
and fresh thinking.
- Do you really think you can trust someone
who shot a guys dick off?
- [Narrator] Valid question.
(gun shots)
But if Ruth has proven anything over the seasons,
it's that she can hold her own.
- 'Cause you're Ruth fucking Langmore, that's why!
- [Narrator] And she's ready to take the lead.
- I don't like that.
- If Darlene finds out,
- She ain't gonna find out is she?
- [Narrator] Then there's the matter of Helen.
- Where the fuck is she?
- [Narrator] Helen isn't the type of person
to disappear without anyone noticing.
Now that the Navarro cartels biggest rival
is no longer a threat, cartel boss, Oscar Navarro,
is free to take the next step in his career.
and he wants the Byrde's to help make his dreams come true.
- What does he want?
- I will walk away from my business,
I will be free of the threat of arrest or assassination,
and I will be able to (beep)
- I'm not going to my bosses with,
Hey, a mass murdering cartel leader would like to (beep)
- I'm sorry, that's impossible.
- Please don't use that word Wendy.
- What other word could I use?
- [Narrator] Since when has Navarro taken no for an answer?
Whoever made that pamphlet deserves a raise
because the Ozarks keep attracting more and more visitors.
To set the cartel up for its next chapter,
Navarro has a new hire, his nephew Javier.
- Please tell me nothing's changed.
- [Narrator] Javier will spend some quality time
with the Byrde's, whether they like it or not.
- I really don't think it's a good idea for you to be here.
- You're right, we'll go to your place.
- [Narrator] Javier isn't as cool-headed as his uncle,
if you can call Oscar Navarro, cool-headed.
Also poking around the Ozarks.
- Hi my name's Mel Sattem, I'm a private investigator
from Chicago.
- [Narrator] Mel claims.
- I'm just looking (beep) so then I'll be out of your life.
- [Narrator] Right.
- I hate him so much.
- [Wendy] Yep.
- [Narrator] Mel has the Byrde's on edge, that's for sure.
We'll also see visits from a celebrity chef.
- I've got a job, I own a restaurant.
- [Narrator] And a CEO.
If you're worried about the Ozarks getting too crowded,
don't be, people also leave, permanently.
- You own a crematorium, right?
(shovel crushing)
- I'm not fucking losing.
- [Narrator] As per usual, Wendy is thinking long-term
for the family business.
- We can be the most powerful family in the Midwest.
- [Narrator] Meanwhile, baby Byrde Jonah
is all grown up and wants to follow in his dads footsteps.
- What are you doing?
- Thanks.
Washing money for Ruth.
- Oh no you are not.
- [Narrator] People have mixed feelings about it.
- We have some issues.
- This might better be discussed with the family therapist.
- [Narrator] The Langmore's have a bit of tension
of their own.
- What the fuck?
- [Narrator] And Darlene is,
- I shot off your dick.
- [Narrator] uh, herself.
- At the market, you forgot my custard.
- [Narrator] Family stuff, man.
Okay, one last spoiler.
With the series coming closer to the end,
we'll get to see some full circle moments.
- I want to own a piece of this town.
- [Narrator] But there will still be plenty more
to cover in Season 4, Part 2.
