"Part 6", also known as "Night Country, Part 6", is the sixth episode and season finale of the fourth season of the American anthology supernatural crime drama television series True Detective. It is the 30th overall episode of the series and was written and directed by executive producer Issa López. It was first broadcast on HBO in the United States on February 18, 2024, and was also 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 get trapped on Tsalal during a snow storm, where they conclude their investigations on the scientists and Anne.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.983 million household viewers and gained a 0.19 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances, closure and tension. However, some criticized the lack of answers to many of the storylines, with many divided over the episode's ambiguity.
