Ozark: 10 Most Disturbing Moments

10. Ben Is "Sacrificed" To The Cartel

Quite possibly one of the best new additions to Ozark came with season three in the form of Wendy's brother Ben. Sadly, Ben's arrival is short-lived and while his demise was a cause of his own actions, Wendy end up being just as culpable as he is.

Viewers learn early on in the show that Ben suffers from Bipolar Disorder, and forgoing his medication does lead him down the path of being somewhat unpredictable. When he learns that the Byrde's are working with the Mexican Cartel, he doesn't respond to it well and furiously outs Helen Pierce in front of her own daughter.

What follows is the Cartel's (and Marty and Wendy's) realisation that Ben will forever be a liability. Wendy shields Ben for most of an episode as he flees from Nelson the Cartel assassin. But, Wendy eventually sees the futility of hiding her brother- and in a way, knows that she is only delaying the inevitable. Wendy abandons Ben in a diner, and the betrayed look on Ben's face as he steps outside is enough to break your heart and chill your spine.

Audiences never see the hit take place. But the arrival of Nelson, and a tearful scene where Wendy breaks down on a highway tells us enough that she just handed her baby brother over to a presumably grim death.
