TRUE DETECTIVE Season 4 Episode 3 Ending Explained 

Thoroughly enjoying this season. The acting is phenomenal from everyone and the storyline is really making me think.

It’s the most gripping season. I like season 01 bc of your essay on it and of other creators’ essays. Because it’s really slow and full of sex scenes, but at least they’re not gratuitous. What really makes season 01 for me is the undercover episode. Everything else is glossed over. The season makes you feel like it got somewhere, but it really didn’t. The global players/killers/abusers are all well and funding research in Alaska to live forever and forever do their despicable deeds.

Fantastic season, I like when they include a suggestion of the supernatural as they did in season 1. Plus the environment and the performances by the leads, there's a good creep factor this season.

*From various credits or future scenes:* 1. White cross graveyard 2. Ice tunnels 3. Something or someone in the pink parka running on level under the catwalk liz or navarro is standing on. 4. The bodies unfrozen in the gym on gurneys.

Bro suggestion????? It turned into the exorcist

Well, it's natural that her stepmom who is the local police chief would be ALSO pumped out about finding out what happened to the scientists that appeared dead in the ice, especially as it is linked to an old unresolved case. I can't imagine anything that 'big' happening in that small town in years, so of course she's not going to be in 'mom mode' towards an adult step daughter (nor even if it was her real daughter). The same with Hank's son, Pete. It's normal that in such a big case he will be working overtime, trying to solve the case. I can't stand his stupid student wife. Like when she becomes a nurse, if there was suddenly a huge emergency situation with many dead and injured people and she got a call from the hospital asking her to come in, like if her husband was home, would she be saying 'no, sorry, I can't come to the hospital because I'm putting my son to bed?' And if he wasn't home, I'm sure she would just get someone to baby sit and rush over to the hospital.

@@ceemartin5624 I never watched it.

@@celticeyesmorriganrising929 Give it a go, it's good.

Where is that show? or movie?

That's an interesting thought!

That’s what I was thinking too, it’s the water causing all these visions people have here

I think for some of the people off the village the toxic water is causing the visions. But i think Rose, Navarro, Navarro's sister & mother can realy see spirits/👻. I also think that Carle knows who is responsble for Annie K's dead and why. There are also responsble for the dead of the scientitst. They put Annie k's 👅 at the lab to district the Police, it was kept one ice for 6 years, why? Maybe the mine is on sacred ground and the entity that stands for the spriral symbol is awake & pissed off. Hence the black water and the still born😢.The 🫎's from episode 1 felt the awakening from the entity and jumped before all would h*ll break loose. And the people or person who. Humans/Tsalal are responsible for the deads, but something spirituele is also going on. Just an idea😊. ❤ this season. 🙋🏿‍♀️

The visions are caused by the weeks of darkness. The dark places tricks on the mind.

​@@alikarol3how did the scientists all share the same madness though

Yes. I thought so too.

il y a 0 seconde I have another take on this, they are all halucinating into a frenzy, remember Lizz listening some white noise and some weird voices in the fridge? I think what happened to the scientists is a sort of "folie à deux"... And old tale or storie and they all got completely lost the plot and got so paranoid by a pathogen from the water that the just got scared to death, like the cariboos knowning they were facing there last minutes of sun before plunging in total darkness for months and decided to jumped over the cliff....Oh, when Navarro at the hospital listen that amputated scientist, she was halucinating. Other facts, most natives aren't really affected like the others as they have a healthier lifestyle...There's a pathogen in the water, that the Tsala discoved and unleash by mistake...A bit like the "COVID pandemic".

they are using mercury to extract gold

OR/AND something will happen TO Pete that makes Danvers lose her shit

That's fair! It feels like it could also be the case. It would be a good twist!

Ya that’s their problem, the scene shows him sitting there,

Me too!

When Liz broke into Tagaq's home Navarro was aghast. Liz also tried to get Pete's cousin to perform illegal autopsies on the scientists. She's the one who breaks the rules. Navarro probably joined the Troopers because she lied for Liz but couldn't work with her anymore because of integrity.

I immediately assumed it was a situation like in season one, murdering someone and covering up the evidence in the name of good and ridding the world of a twisted mind.

That's a good thought! Yeah that could be a contributing factor

I don't get it. BEING a midwife caused stillbirths even after she is dead?

Yes I did. I was like, wait.. I thought it was night time 24/7.

It was at night. There were headlights behind them, if it's the same scene.

Look into the inupiat legend of the lady in the water......DARWINS PICTURE. Just for curiosity, off topic.

@@celticeyesmorriganrising929 Watch the scene again in the episode. Fast forward to about 22:20. Danvers and Navarro leave the hairdresser's house in the truck. Notice it's quite light outside and definitely not the dark of night. From inside their truck, you can see thru the windows all the way to to the horizon so it is not headlights from a car or street lamps.

@HonestoVargas did ypu check out the legend? It totally fits the first scene of the show.

i loved all the characters in season 1. just because people are cruel doesnt mean they can't be likeable, otherwise people wouldn't consistently root for the bad guys. The thing that is missing here is Charm. You can be cruel and sometimes evil, but have charm. These characters do not have any charm.

@@TVGGAMEZCO The characters are as "likable", "charming" and complex as others inside the True Detective series. Maybe what they are not is as "relatable", and that is precisely what I like most about this Season 4.

You got to watch every show with the captions on nowadays lol

@@dianegreyson8787 as someone with ptsd, it doesn’t cause full on hallucinations that can be mistaken for visions. It can come with some level of paranoid delusions but not the type of hallucinations we have seen Novarro experience.

I have assumed that they are hallucinating either from the dark, or the water, or a bacteria or all of it.

Speaking of symbolism, that spiral symbol is used by pedophiles and some satanist groups the fbi has identified it as such.

I would juts say "Intuition" for Navarro, like Rust.

Maybe she was watching her own birth? I didn't watch clearly but maybe that's a twist based off what you said

I had to do that with Mr Robot. Loved it from the start but for many reasons, I just couldn't get into one of the latter seasons. The solution? I binged it. Waited for the season to nearly end & went for it, watching the last episode as it aired. It was great! Returned my good time.

Same. I found this episode kind of lacking until the last 5 minutes.

Big letdown

Lmao wow……. You guys say anything

I thought I was wild by thinking Annie found a Yeti making yellow snowcones.

I thought cloning at first, too. But that seems unlikely after episodes 2 and 3. They are mining something that they don't want people to find out about. Annie went in the mine and found it. Tsalal scientists found it in their core samples. Not sure what it could be, but I found this on google: Metal mining is the leading source of toxic releases in Alaska Uncontrolled mine waste, as well as the processing chemicals used to extract this ore can be a significant source of pollution to the water, land, and air.

IT IS GOLD and they are using mercury, which can cause hallucinations and from wiki "Acute exposure to mercury vapor has been shown to result in profound central nervous system effects, including psychotic reactions characterized by delirium, hallucinations, and suicidal tendency."

mercury is for extracting the gold

He probably knows Danver covered up the murder of Weaver.

I'm LOVING DANVERS.... TOTALLY.

Like every single TV show ever made

You mean ALL TOGETHER?

Sure seems like screenwriting talent is getting thin. It looks like they've painted themselves into a corner and everyone will have to ignore the holes in the story to accept the ending. What are they going to do? Claim it was all a delusion from being poisoned from the mine? Or the Caribou suicided because the magnetic poles of the earth are near their switch over? Or how will the supernatural elements be incorporated if they want to maintain an element of materialism in the eventual explanation? Did the Carbou get possessed? Has anything like this happened in real life? A mass caribou stampede ending in death. Maybe. According to the bible, we cannot communicate with dead people. These are demons using their knowledge of the spirit world to deceive people. But in Hollywood, they use this trope of communicating with dead loved ones all the time. As if knowing previous intimate communication or experiences somehow proves it can't be anything other than our dead loved ones trying to get through to us. Whar the average viewer believes isn't my point. The issue is that the people running the world are university educated but lacking a broad knowledge of the world. None of these people read Greek or Latin so have never read the classics. But because they have a degree they think they're profoundly intelligent. These same class of morons are running the world into the ground. You will eat bugs and get boosters and like it.

I agree, its lazy writing shows in every scene. Series is toast.

Right I think there’s only 6 episodes

@@Fantasyfootballreaper is it the fantasy football thing...lol.

Glad you're enjoying the videos! It's definitely easy to compare the leads but the thing is, Rust and Marty are just such perfect charatcers, they're iconic. So it's better to just look at it separately.

No

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. I know, i'm on the fence as well about whether the supernatural stuff is 'real' or if there is a logical explanation. I think Rose is still alive! As she called the police when she found the corpsecycle!

Td

Some of the things that people are citing these characters as "unlikeable" existed with season 1 detectives as well. Rust could be down right depressing. Marty was screwing anything that moved. IMO that trait was worse than it is with Liz, because he was married.

Ohhhh! that's interesting

Most houses have a blue room like that. I was going to ask what the significance of the blue was. There is a lot of blue in this show. From clothes to walls to floors and signs.

I think the scientists framed it to make it look like a viloent murder, covering their tracks.

Super creepy analysis yet it makes sense. 😅

Yea this exactly

Also, love your name lol!

I hope we do!

In a weird way perhaps "Twist amd Shout" is also symbolic of the influence of the spiral symbol?

That's exactly what I was thinking, thank you!! Unless they were plastic but it doesn't look like it..

@@KYoung-nj8ri actors used to have to adapt their look around the character, but now producers are afraid to have certain actors change their look. No one intelligent would have metal piercings in the dead of night in Alaska on the front of their face, especially “smart detectives”

thats not true at all, if you had metal piercings youd know

Interesting thought!

That’s my question.

I feel this season 4 is cheap. They just turned into supernatural type shit series. So lame and disappointing.

Yeah last season of fargo sucked, show was great first 2 seasons but has been pretty awful since season 3

True and very observant

Was it definitely his arm or was it possibly someone else’s?

Or they actually woke up the Yellow Queen..?

This show is absolute garbage. You clearly have terrible taste. The acting, plot, and most importantly, the writing, is so incredibly bad.

Fortitude was great!

This is exactly what I was thinking.

In thé X files "Ice" episode, the men who kill each other, repeat "we're not who we are", "it goes no further than this. It stops right here, right now!"

I noticed that aswell. I was thinking, "why is the sun rised". maybe just an editing error .

In the dark period of the year there is a slight dusk period around noon that I learned about from one of the podcasts.

You high again Luke?

Im high....but he literally mentions it looking like an animal. k @@TeeTV22

That’s a wild thought man. Yet I am intrigued.

I think Carcosa is a very generic symbol, not evil in itself.

Regardless of being unlikeable, Danvers & Navarro are completely different. Navarro has visions and follows her guts but Danvers tries to analyze the case.

The problem is that the actress that plays Navarro is a horrendous actress. And it really shows acting along side an Oscar winner. Its almost comical at times.

I agree, and I feel that was because Lopez wanted to use native people in her show. Another disadvantage of emphasizing too much on the native heritage! @@Scorch428

@@arashmaleki1508 yo talent isn't tied to ethnicity. if she's not that good, it's got nothing to do with being native american. skill and experience is the issue here. they could have hired someone better who happens to be native american. anti-woke bias is just as cringe as woke bias.

I don't know why you are referring to anti-woke bias. All directors look for best actress but when you screen them based on their ethnicity [Director herself admits that] (to have someone from native people) you clearly narrow your options.@@maggyfrog

Yeah except Annie wasnt stabbed by cyanide 😂😂

IKR! On the orher hand, him asking who she is, was so funny!

I yelled WHOA!!!!!

Agree, Danvers hates Twist and shout not Eve, Danvers shot the dude like Marty did and will always hate the song because of the evil man that killed the girl and her own guilt

Psychosphere?

Haha!

Yes!

I think Danvers did, because of Twist and Shout. That song has something tondo with her son. And I think that man must have as well.

I think Navarro. Why wouldn’t Navarro tell the truth about what happened so she wouldn’t get transferred if Liz did it? What incentive does she have to protect Liz? I think Navarro got spooked and fired. Liz, not so by the book, helped her cover it up and transferred her to keep her working. Navarro would have just accepted her fate, but Liz lied for her, leading to her disrespect.

Liz hates T&S because of the evil man she killed just like Marty did. Guilt.

That’s an interesting take for sure!

It sounds of despair of the descendants of those tribes. They know their ancestors were killed off due to greed by the white man.

@@ceciliaSF-TX on a long enough timeline there are no “indigenous people.” We all came from the same place and plenty of greed was shared by all races. Some that enslaved and some that sold to the slavers. ALL races share that hideous past.

It features in the trailer and the title sequence so it's bound to have some importance!

Boom exactly. The woman with the stumpy digits at the crab facrory is part of a cult that worships some deity or entity that requires a sacrifice to appease or gain powers.

Yeah that's true to be fair! This is leaning in on it way more though!

Rusts visions could be explained by alcohol/drug abuse. These visions/possesions/supernatural connections seem to have no normal explanation.

@@Hortonheardahoe not yet and it could also be said that Rust had these abilities in spite of his Alcohol abuse, his senses were heightened when Alcohol numbs the senses. I think the connection here is with the dead, both Danvers and Navarro have tragically lost loved ones and they both seem to have this ability but Navarro’s is far stronger and Danvers has not yet accepted it

*** rose is rusts mom

That's fair! It's definitely an option, I feel it could go either way!

Yeah that's a fair point! Six episodes is very short. 8 episodes seems to be the modern day approach, so it's surprising they've gone for 6

I feel there's going to be an edge to it. Maybe an 'all isn't as it seems' kind of vibe

Agree about Danvers and Navarro not being as good as Rust and Marty, but they're always going to be so hard to beat and I don't think they ever will be to be honest. I know what you mean about the supernatural side of things, but i'm hoping there's going to be an intelligent twist at the end haha!

They're small town cops. In comparison to guys like Rust, who used to be undercover agents, they can't compared

Do you think? There's definitely something off with him but I'd be surprised if it is him!

That's a shame! I feel it's going to kick into gear more now that we're getting towards the final half

Do you think? Worst than 2 or 3?

@@BrainPilot 2 was ok. 3 was bad. This is worse to me. It’s so cheesy. If they go supernatural/zombie woman full-bore, I’m going to be super disappointed.

You are no brain pilot. Season 3 was great as good as the 1st.
