True Detective: The Night Country is over! After a five-year absence, one of the best detective series of the moment made a flawless return, led by Jodie Foster and Cally Reiss in this new season, a real find.

After flirting with the supernatural all season, the True Detective finale revealed that the people responsible for the murders of the scientists at the research station are actually human.

And the two women at the center of Issa Lopez’s story – “True Detectives” Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangelina Navarro (Callie Reiss) – not only solve the mystery of what is happening in the small town of Ennis, Alaska, but each of them manages to find personal and inner peace to find the form.

After all the torment that has befallen them over the course of six episodes, Navarro and Danvers discover, Issa Lopez in an interview varietyA “Love, non-romantic loveWhich heals them both and gets them back on their feet to carry on – even if Navarro’s fate is somewhat murky.

Annie K. Murder Solved

As Navarro immediately realized, an assassination that had happened years before had caused the death of a scientist at Tsalal Station. Activist Annie K. (Nivie Pedersen) discovers that scientists have not only been falsifying environmental data from Silver Sky Mining, the company that poisoned the town of Ennis, but that they actually wanted the permafrost to melt in order to better conduct experiments.

In a fit of righteous rage, Annie destroys their research in a secret lab at Tsalal Station, and when the men capture her, stab and apparently beat her to death… when her boyfriend, scientist Raymond Clarke (Owen McDonnell), goes crying over her body, and when Annie shows signs of life , strangled him with his shirt.

It’s a confession that Clarke makes—forced—to Navarro and Danvers on a frosty and stormy New Year’s Eve at Tsalali Station. What he can’t tell them, because he doesn’t know, is what happened to his colleagues a few years later when they disappeared from Tsalal and were found huddled and naked under the ice.

Clark is convinced that it was Annie who got her revenge and describes how she hid under the lab hatch for a week. “He was hiding in these caves– said the half-mad Clark.Before he was born, after we all die: time is a flat circle. And we are all stuck in itTrue Detective fans certainly jumped when they heard the most famous quote from the show’s first season as delivered by Rust Colley (Matthew McConaughey).

The return of the supernatural

It’s a long night, and as the Northern Lights light up the New Year’s sky, Clark has deliberately chosen to freeze to death. Danny disappeared and Navarro and Danvers ran across the ice, hearing the whisper that had been calling them throughout the series.

For Navarro, the fact that Danvers almost dies from falling into the icy water—because he thinks his dead son is trapped below—is what brings him back to reality. They finally work it out and Danvers ends up crying over her son.

“When they finally hug, all they need is friendship– Isa Lopez explained to Variety.

Danvers and Navarro toast the New Year and finally admit that they have become friends. “Try to come back, ok?Danvers says to Navarro, who is clearly still in some sort of control. After Navarro mentions the trap door again, Danvers, overwhelmed, shines an ultraviolet light on it and discovers a handprint with two amputated fingers, indicating that Blair Hartman (Katherine Wilder) was there. Blair is one of the women from Ennis who works multiple jobs and commutes to the suburbs. Lopez calls them “Women who know everything“.

Solving the mysterious death of scientists

Once the blizzard passes, Navarro and Danvers go to talk to Blair. And Bee (Diane E. Benson), clearly the leader of the group, takes charge of the conversation.story“, as he says.

“These bastards killed Annie K.” says Bi, describing how she discovered an underground lab while cleaning Tsalal, then found out what happened to Annie six years ago. This gang of women banded together to kidnap Tsalal scientists, blew up their weapons, and put them in a room. A truck.

After forcing them to strip and walk on the ice, Bee declared that he was leaving their fate to nature. “I think he ate their dreams from the inside and spat out their frozen bones– he says and shrugs his shoulders. As the women stand in formation facing Danvers and Navarro, Danvers tells them that the case is officially closed.I thought you might want to know since they were your employers and all.“, he says.

In the series finale, set several months later, Danvers presents the official account of what happened on and after New Year’s Eve. Peter (Finn Bennett) must be innocent after killing his father Hank (John Hawkes) while protecting Danvers.

He tells investigators that Hank’s disappearance looks like “Transaction failed“, who was covering for his young deputy. Investigators are questioning him about the strangeness of Clark’s death as well as his colleagues.”incredibly strange“, he replies.”Some questions have no answers.“

As Danvers says one thing, we see another: He arrives at Navarro’s house to find the place empty but with a polar bear on the bed, as well as a phone containing Clark’s video confession of everything Tsalali did to cover up the mine. , which has now been shut down after the video went viral.

The audience then sees Navarro start to walk on the ice, but this time he looks strong and happy. Not afraid at all. While we see Danvers and his sister-in-law Leah (Isabelle Starr LaBlanc) happy and getting along well, one of the investigators asks questions about the sighting of Navarro, who has become a mythical figure.

“This is Ennis” Danvers says as we cut to a quiet scene where he and Navarro are on a terrace overlooking a lake.”No one really leaves.“

What do the actors think?

So this mysterious ending is open to interpretation. AlloCiné caught up with Jodie Foster and Callie Reiss during a visit to Paris on February 13 and asked them about the significance of this latest secret shot.

If Jodie Foster didn’t give an explanation, she chose her side:I can’t explain it to you. It is up to you to explain yourself. And there is a decision. There are people who have different ideas about what this means. And I, like Danvers, who is very logical, I would say that it is there, it is present. And people who think differently, they come to different conclusions.“

Kali Reiss gives two possible theories: “Issa is a genius in the way he wrote this ending, and even the whole story, where it’s a suggestion to believe in rationality and logic, the Liz Danvers way, or rather the Navarro way, where it’s intuitive, spiritual, supernatural.

So after the ending, you can believe that Navarro has followed in his sister’s footsteps, or that he is at peace with himself in this world and that he can now live in peace and be at home, comfortable with who he is. But no matter what you believe, the first and only person he will return to see will be Danvers.“

But when we ask him which theory he leans towards, he wants to leave the field open to the viewer: “I will keep it a secret. I know what I believe, but I don’t share it. I will keep it a secret.“
