"Part 4", also known as "Night Country, Part 4", is the fourth episode of the fourth season of the American anthology supernatural crime drama television series True Detective. It is the 28th overall episode of the series and was written by consulting producer Namsi Khan, executive producer Chris Mundy and executive producer Issa López, and directed by López. It was first broadcast on HBO in the United States on February 4, 2024, and also was available on Max on the same date.
The season takes place in Ennis, Alaska, and follows detectives Liz Danvers and Evangeline Navarro as they investigate the disappearance of eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station and vanish without a trace. While occasionally working together, Danvers and Navarro are not on good terms after an unresolved case, which was very personal for Navarro. In the episode, Danvers and Navarro discover a possible connection to Clark, but Navarro experiences a family tragedy.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.722 million household viewers and gained a 0.11 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its production values, although some questioned the tone and the under-developed stories.
