The season premiere of the first half of the final season of Netflixs hitOzarkstrikes a solemn, foreboding tone.
And will their downfall come from within?
Theyre a team now.
They may have been at odds at points in the first three seasons, but they cant be now.
Omar says, My nephew is impatient.
That could be a problem.
He also says, Your greatest threat will always come from the inside, Marty.
Omar wants Martys help getting a parachute out of the confines of the criminal underworld.
He wants to move freely and could make concessions to the FBI to do so.
Basically, he wants the Byrdes to launderhim.
Ruth wants to buy it outright for $450k and has the loan to do so.
Does she really want to own a piece of this town and have her voice represented in the community?
There are two very different dynamics with Ruth and the Byrde kids.
A guy named Mel (Adam Rothenberg), a P.I.
from Chicago, shows up looking for Helen.
After he leaves, Wendy makes no apologies to her son, telling him to clean up his mess.
Wendys stark lack of empathy could come back to haunt her.
Later, the Byrdes talk about needing Maya to help launder Omar.
It feels like this plan will either get them out of this world forever or end their family.
Thats not going to happen.
He finds footage of Jonah holding a shotgun on Helen and takes it to the Byrdes.
After he leaves, Wendy loses it.
Shes still trying to be an angry mother to Jonah, which is rich at this point.
The traditional roles of motherhood no longer apply!
Jonah goes to Ruth and offers her the software he built from his fathers, further tying them together.
She offers him a job laundering money from her, which can only end poorly.
He drives the dead cop to the Byrdes in the trunk of the cop car.
And Jonah sees them unloading the body.
Dirty Laundry
Does anyone else miss Ben?
It feels like that worldview will play a role in her final arc.
Id like a GIF of Ruth goofily bobbing her head to A Tribe Called Quest now, just.
Jonah speaks of the Echo Wall in Beijing when mocking Wendy for her latest dumb scheme.
Here are somecool picsof that unique location.
