![]() " was a good detective") Cohle is getting to know Hart and beginning to understand his weaknesses. (Important note: Hart refers to this proficiency in the past tense during his interviews. Hart has little choice but to acknowledge Cohle's proficiency as a detective. They start off not liking each other, but now seem to quickly be gaining a reluctant respect for one another. I got the sense he's been waiting for these interviews - waiting to get called back in to tie up loose threads in a case that he considers incomplete.Ĭohle and Hart have a falling out over something. Reflecting on their investigation, he tells the detectives that at times, he felt like he was "mainlining the secret truth of the universe". Up through Episode 3, he's been the one turning up the major revelations in the case. The detective responds, "I figured you'd be the one to know", to which Cohle replies, "then start asking the right fuckin' questions."Ĭohle knows what's going on. Cohle says, "How could it be him, if we already caught him in '95? How indeed, detectives?". I think this is one of the most important parts of the show so far, and gives us some insight into the question you posed. I'm going to present some evidence here that I think is relevant, then describe my (incomplete) theory, and hopefully receive some responses from you guys on this subject. This is something I've been thinking a lot about. There is plenty of time in the off-season for memes, but only a short window for discussion when the episodes are new. This is to give room for discussion to take place. While the show is on air, some submissions, especially upvoted ones, will be removed if they aren't sufficiently related to True Detective or their quality is low. Trolls, excessively hostile/bigoted users, spammers, bots and so on will be banned. No requests for or links to torrents/streams/etc. if someone says "Season 1 question" in the title, then you can't post untagged season 2 spoilers there).
