[Netflix] Florida Man Ending Explained!
A Spanish ship that was sailing close to the coast of Florida when it capsized several centuries ago was carrying a treasure trove full of gold coins. Years later, at a support group, young Mike made the connection between the day he found a coin in a fish and the start of his gambling problem. Franco was also a part of that crew. Franco, a gambling addict, couldn’t resist the temptation to go for the loot. He took a chance on this because he hoped it would help him out, and it did. He located the gold, but Moss caught him so he could cash in. He wanted to tell the gangster, but Moss dismissed it as the gambler’s usual tactic for stalling. So, he ordered Franco’s murder.
Delly saw Moss and Franco talking while Franco was being tortured. While on the run, she sought wealth in Florida. Mike rushed after her before she could investigate further. She pretended to be dead in an effort to throw him off her trail. Things didn’t work out, though, and she had to fill him in. Delly immediately suspected that Franco had hidden the money in his yacht. When they don’t uncover any gold, Mike begins to think there was never any there. However, he later learns that Franco has a truck. Franco mentioned a street by name when Delly overheard their chat. Mike finds the spot where Franco’s truck was parked before it was towed.
Now that it has reached the bottom of the pit the city plans to plug, Mike and Delly have only a few days to retrieve it. Delly’s mistake in telling Sonny about the scheme was inevitable, as Mike had suspected his father would try to steal the gold for himself. He was right, as it turns out. When everything else fails, Moss, Delly, and Mike travel to the location and rescue the vehicle from the abyss. There isn’t even one gold coin inside when they crack it open. In contrast to Moss, Delly and Mike are both taken aback by this news. Moss tries to kill Mike because he is no longer useful to him, but Delly stops him. After killing Moss, she begs Mike to escape with her.’
During the gunfight on the dock, however, Iris is wounded, and Mike rushes to tend to her. Things calm down after a few weeks. The FBI hires Iris, and she begins assisting Moss’ sibling. Mike’s sister moves on after ending her marriage. The motel that Clara (Sibongile Mlambo) and her husband thought was theirs was taken away from them when the true owner showed up. Mike is tending the bar as Sonny is serving time for his part in a drug smuggling operation across state lines. Mike puts the gold and the dream it inspired on the back burner for a while. However, things shift drastically after watching the evening news. One of Sonny’s men, Buzz, is discovered murdered in the river after being attacked by a python. Buzz wore alligator shoes, according to the story. Mike recalls how enthusiastic Buzz was about spending the gold money on the shoes and airboat. Since he possessed both, he was compensated handsomely; this indicates that the gold had been located. Sonny had, as was to be expected, deprived Mike and Delly of their fair share. On the night when Butch blew himself up near the church, he, Buzz (Mark Jeffrey Miller), and Ray-Ray (Leonard Earl Howze) extracted the gold.
In response to Mike’s questioning, Sonny admits that he had no intention of telling his son about the gold since he doesn’t want him to leave. Mike decides it’s not good enough and reverts back to his original hatred of his father. Mike finds out that Delly has already discovered the gold now that Ray-Ray and Buzz are dead and Sonny is in jail. She anticipated an attacker soon, and she was relieved Mike was the one who came for her. She asks, “Did you come for me, or the gold?” and he stares at her, smiling. He had, in fact, traveled here specifically to find her; the wealth was really a bonus. The story ends happily for Delly and Mike.
