ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Netflix's 'A Man in Full' offers an unexpected conclusion to Charlie Croker's adventures. The key character played by Jeff Daniels finds himself in soup as a leading bank begins to seize his assets after he fails to repay his debt worth almost a billion dollars.

Raymond Peepgrass (Tom Pelphrey), the banker, who admires and envies Charlie, devices a new plan to take down the real-estate mogul, after he gets leniency from the bank following pressure from Mayor Wes Jordan (William Jackson Harper).

In 'A Man in Full' Episode 6, a big shock kicks in when Charlie discovers that his ex-wife Martha (Diane Lane) has decided to sell off her shares, along with the ones belonging to their teenage son Wally (Evan Roe), to Big Red Dog LLC, a new entity headed by Raymond.

If the deal happens, Charlie would lose control and ownership over his Concourse. The revelation angers Charlie and he immediately heads to Martha's residence to stop her from signing the deal.

Upon reaching Martha's house, he finds her and Raymond Peepgrass having coitus.

Unbothered by their physical intimacy, he sends Martha out of the room and locks himself with Raymond inside.

In a fit of rage, he chokes Raymond. However, things go haywire when Charlie's wrist seizes and he can't stop himself from further choking Raymond. During this moment, he suffers a heart attack and they both fall to the ground.

In the final moments of the series, we discover that both Raymond and Charlie are dead.
