The Captain kills the third man and casts him overboard when he begins to sing the same song. A storm causes the ship to capsize, and he ends up at the bottom of the ocean with gold all around him.

When Kike said Sonny was a criminal, he wasn’t wrong. Sonny was running a drug operation through the waterworks canal, something that Kaitlin and Andy had alluded to in the sixth episode. The low-level players in the scheme who were under arrest, all want to assign the blame to the higher-ups.

Gradually, as they moved up the food chain, they finally got to Sonny. Before this revelation, all we knew about Sonny’s criminal activity was that he used to smuggle cheap and expensive cigars. But Andy finally got him for the drug trade and made sure he stayed in prison this time. Since the DEA got involved, he couldn’t do much else anyway.

Sonny and Mike were both in the cell at the time, and Mike said that Sonny had intended to completely cut him off from the gold share. Sonny sobbed as he acknowledged the charge but added that he did it so Mike wouldn't leave him once more. Though sincere, it might not have been the best way to convey his message.

Mike agrees with the sentiment but does not like the repeated lies. Mike is released after his bail is posted. After Sonny is guilty of drug trafficking, Mike finds out about Iris, who is in the hospital battling for her life. She is in intensive care even though Ray is dead.

When he gets out and tries to go to the hospital, Moss stops him at gunpoint. Delly is with him and gives the impression that she is with Moss. They force him to the sinkhole and then ask Mike to do all the work by himself.

He finally brings the truck up but when he opens the back shutter, he finds that the truck is empty. Moss prepares to kill Mike but is distracted by Delly. They have a physical tussle but Moss comes out on top.

As he is about to shoot Mike, Delly kills him using Ketcher’s gun. Ketcher, meanwhile, has spotted Mike’s sketch on television and seen his gun. He makes his way toward the sinkhole, where we learn that Delly was actually with Mike the whole time. She says she had no other option but to deceive Moss.

Ketcher wants his gun back and nothing more. He even helps Moss dispose of the body in the truck and send it back to the bottom. Mike and Delly then have a fight when Mike says they need to stop first to check on Iris. Delly gets really mad and says that she is a pawn in everyone else’s story will now. No one cares about her and what she has ended up with in the end.

She asks Mike to choose: go with Delly then or leave to be with Iris.

Florida Man is now streaming on Netflix.
