Breaking News: Shocking Twists Unveiled in True Detective: Night Country “Part 5” Episode
Poor Hank Meets Tragic Fate in Riveting Showdown
Poor, wrong-headed Hank — with his broken “90 Day Fiancé” heart, and his thwarted dreams of being police chief — is dead. And by the hand of his son, Peter, no less.
Defiant Investigators on a Dangerous Quest
At the end of “Part 5″ — the penultimate episode of creator Issa López’s “True Detective: Night Country” — investigators Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) are about to defy direct orders. In the episode’s final moments, they’re heading off on a New Year’s Eve quest to find the caves where Annie Kowtok died — to try to solve her murder, as well as the mysterious deaths of the TSALAL scientists.
The Pivotal Scene that Changes Everything
All of which brings Hank to Liz’s house, just after she’s completed her transaction with Otis. What Hank doesn’t know is that Peter, the son with whom he yearns to connect, is now staying in Liz’s backyard shed. Peter moved from Hank’s house after becoming enraged with his father for sharing the information Peter had secretly dug up about Liz and Navarro’s likely murder of a serial abuser. Once Connelly threatened to expose Liz and Navarro if they didn’t drop their inquiries, it didn’t take long for until a furious Liz figured out that her corrupt boss and former flame had received this damning information from Hank, who’d secretly peeked at Peter’s laptop.
An Intense Climax
The deadly events at Liz’s house — where Hank meets his doom — unfold in quick succession. After he talks his way in, saying he needs to bring Otis to Connelly because of an outstanding warrant, things immediately turn confrontational between them when Liz sees how suspicious Hank is acting. A clueless (and high) Otis comes out of the bathroom, and Hank ends up shooting him, seemingly out of reflex, as Otis attempts to leave. As the situation escalates between Liz and Hank, and he accuses her of turning Peter against him, Peter walks in and sees what’s happened. Hank tries to enlist Peter to help him cover up Otis’ death, but Peter is unmoved, and keeps his gun pointing squarely at Hank — who then turns his gun on Liz, inciting Peter to shoot his father to death in order to protect her.
