Episode 4 Recap
In 1995, Hart and Cohle interrogate Charlie Lange again for information about Ledoux, his former cellmate. Lange informs them that he showed pictures of Dora to Ledoux and identifies a known associate, Tyrone Weem, as a lead. Lange also tells the detectives that Ledoux told him about a group of rich men who would get together for "devil worship" involving sacrifices of women and children.

Hart track down Weem at a warehouse rave and forces him to name the East Texas biker gang Ledoux is now cooking meth for, the Iron Crusaders. Cohle, who previously worked with the gang while undercover,
takes "sick leave" to infiltrate the gang, giving the
excuse that he needs to visit his dying father.

Meanwhile, Lisa spitefully tells Maggie everything about her affair with Hart, who returns home to find his family gone and his bags packed. He tries to talk to Maggie at her workplace and is confronted by security officers before Cohle arrives to take him away. Cohle hits the Iron Crusaders hangout masquerading asformer security for a Mexican cartel breaking away on his own, using high-grade cocaine taken from the police evidence room to back up his claim.

He negotiates with his contact Ginger that if given a commitment to back a deal with the gang's meth producer, Cohle will help Ginger rob a stash house in the projects. Disguised as police, they rob the stash house, shooting one of the residents, and stir up the neighborhood's inhabitants in the process, resulting in an outbreak of gunfire and chaos.

With the actual police on their way, Cohle holds Ginger at gunpoint as they escape the house and make their way through the projects. Cohle contacts Hart who collects them from the scene as the police arrive.

_____________________________________________________

In 2012, doubts in the investigation start to come forth as Papania and Gilbough question Cohle's sick leave, claiming that there are no hospital records of his father. Cohle tells the detectives about his father while Hart feigns ignorance.

Episode 5 Recap
In 1995, Ginger and Cohle (still undercover) meet with DeWall Ledoux, Reggie's cousin and cook partner, in a roadside bar. DeWall refuses to do a drug deal with Cohle, but after DeWall leaves, Hart follows him. Hart radios his location to Cohle and the pair meet up near the hidden meth lab in the bayou, where Cohle leads the way through brush, avoiding hidden explosive booby traps rigged to kill unwary intruders.

The pair descend on the house where Hart apprehends Reggie and handcuffs him. Cohle draws down on DeWall, who has just stepped out of the meth lab, as Hart is searching the premises, coming across two kidnapped and abused children, one of them dead. Enraged, Hart executes Reggie Ledoux with a shot to the head. DeWall panics and flees but is killed when he detonates one of the booby traps. Hart removes the handcuffs from the dead Ledoux, and Cohle sprays the yard with bullets from an AK to give the appearance that a shootout had taken place.

In their 2012 interviews (voiced over the actual events) and later before a shooting board, the pair separately relate identical concocted stories of surviving a chaotic
firefight in which Hart managed to kill Ledoux. Hart and
Cohle are hailed back at the station and in the press as
heroes, with both receiving commendations and
promotions.

_____________________________________________________

By 2002, Hart is reconciled with his wife and kids, while Cohle has a physician girlfriend. Hart's daughter Audrey has begun acting out and tensions rise once again in the household. Cohle, a renowned interrogator, is brought in to get a confession out of a robber accused of murdering two people in a store while high on PCP. After confessing, the prisoner begs for a deal from Cohle, declaring that Ledoux wasn't the killer of the missing girls--the real killer was never caught and is still killing. He claims he himself met the "Yellow King," information withheld from the public in the Dora Lange case, and that people high up know about the killer. Cohle beats the man, demanding "a name," but is restrained by other detectives.

He returns later with Hart to find that the prisoner has killed himself in his cell after receiving a phone call (purportedly from his lawyer) made from a public pay phone out in the middle of nowhere. Cohle returns to the abandoned religious school, where he find dozens of stick sculptures, and drawings and black stars on the walls.

_____________________________________________________

In 2012, Papania and Gilbough tell Hart that they suspect that Cohle, who they allege conveniently led Hart to every clue or lead in the case, has been behind the killings all along; Cohle has been spotted among the bystanders at the scene of the recent killing in Lake Charles that is similar to the Dora Lange case.

Cohle has also been a person of interest in the suspicious death of Reverend Tuttle two years before. Cohle walks out of his interview after the detectives
accuse him, ridiculing them to get a warrant, while Hart is asked in his interview to explain what exactly happened between him and Cohle in 2002.

Episode 6 Recap
In 2002, Cohle investigates on his own a series of old missing persons cases, linking the victims to the Tuttle schools. He seeks out Theriot, who has since quit the ministry and become a drunk, to ask about Wellspring, a defunct foundation that financed the rural schools while Theriot was a seminarian at the college Tuttle established. Theriot claims that Wellspring covered up child molestation scandals and implies that he was intimidated into silence after being questioned in 1995.

Cohle tries to interview Kelly, Ledoux's surviving victim in 1995 and institutionalized with regressive catatonia, to ask her if a third man was involved with her abduction. She describes a giant man with scars, and begins screaming when Cohle asks about the man's face.

Despite being ordered to stop his investigations, Cohle meets with Tuttle, ostensibly seeking the names of former Wellspring employees but actually fishing for reactions from him. Tuttle complains to the department, misrepresenting the nature of the meeting. Cohle cites this as proof of Tuttle's culpability, but is suspended from duty anyway.

Hart runs into Beth, a former underage prostitute he interviewed during the Dora Langea investigation, and starts an affair with her. A suspicious Maggie checks Hart's cell and finds a picture of Beth. Maggie then goes to Cohle's apartment and seduces him; Cohle, disgusted and infuriated when she tells him she had sex to get rid of Hart, kicks her out. Maggie tells Hart anyway, who attacks Cohle in the department parking lot. Cohle quits immediately after.

_____________________________________________________

In 2012, Papania and Gilbough interview Maggie, now remarried. She is scornful of their motives and denies that the divorce from Hart had anything to do with Cohle. Asked to characterize Cohle, she describes him as a good man with integrity. Hart abruptly walks out on his interview when Papania and Gilbrough again suggest that Cohle may have killed Tuttle in 2010 and been responsible for all the other murders.

Cohle follows Hart and initiates their first contact since the fight. Cohle asks Hart to buy him a beer, saying they
should talk, to which Hart agrees, but after Cohle turns
away, arms himself with a revolver.

Episode 7 Recap
In 2012, Cohle prods a disinclined Hart to assist him in finding the man with the facial scars by reminding Hart that he, in addition to Cohle, owes a moral debt for what actually took place in 1995. He takes Hart to a self storage facility where he convinces him of the existence of a cult that mixes elements of the courir de Mardi Gras, santería and voudon in its rites and shows him evidence he has compiled linking Tuttle and possibly others in the disappearances of dozens of women and children going back to the 1980s.

Cohle admits burgling Tuttle's homes to obtain proof of his complicity, including photographs and a videotape of the ritualistic sacrifice of Marie Fontenot years ago.
However he denies killing Tuttle, speculating that others believed Tuttle was going to be blackmailed over the videotape and killed him to prevent it.

Hart finds a Ledoux relative who confirms that Reggie and DeWall were connected to the man with scars, and
locates a former domestic who worked for Tuttle's father Sam when they still lived in Vermilion Parish. She recalls a scarred boy who was one of Sam Tuttle's illegitimate grandchildren from his "other" family, named Childress. Hart also discovers that the Vermilion Parish deputy originally handling the Fontenot disappearance was Hart's old friend (and Cohle's antagonist) Steve Geraci, who concealed the fact in 1995 and has since gone on to become a parish sheriff.

Feeling out Geraci, Hart concludes that a coverup of Marie Fontenot's abduction was engineered by then-Vermilion Parish Sheriff Ted Childress. Hart and Cohle kidnap Geraci to coerce the details from him. Meanwhile, Gilbough and Papania are lost trying to locate a rural church Cohle mentioned in his interview and ask directions from a caretaker on a riding lawnmower in a parish cemetery. Impressed by his local knowledge, Papania nonetheless fails to notice his badly scarred lower face before driving away. The man thinks aloud: "My family's been here a long, long time."

Episode 8 Recap: Season Finale

The scarred killer is shown in his home, a large, messy house. He lives and has sex with his mentally challenged half-sister, spouts his philosophies in a variety of voices and accents, and keeps his father in a shed out back which is covered in arcane paintings. His father is chained to a bed, gaunt and barely living with his mouth sewn shut. He is also shown painting a school building, where he watches two girls spinning in circles and uneasily makes eye contact with a young
boy.

Cohle and Hart interrogate Geraci, getting him to talk by showing him the cultists' tape of the Fontenot sacrifice. They learn that the sheriff at the time of Fontenot's disappearance was named Childress, and covered up her disappearance. They hit another dead end in the investigation, until Hart notes the significance of the Erath "spaghetti monster"'s green ears, and the possibility that the green may have come from paint. Searching through photos they took in 1995 while trying to find Marie Fontenot, they find one home that was painted green by a small business called "Childress and Son", which employed a man with scars on his face.

Driving to the home of William Childress, the owner of the business, Cohle instinctively recognizes it as the home of their killer. Errol Childress, the scarred man, flees and is pursued by Cohle into a large overgrown labyrinthine structure in the woods - Carcosa. Hart bursts into the home and corners Childress' half-sister, and forces her to show him where their telephone is located, as there is no cell phone service in the area.

In the innermost chamber of Carcosa, and after observing several dozen corpses in various states of decay, Cohle hallucinates (or really sees) a spiraling vortex on the ceiling, similar to the black spiral symbol used by the Tuttle family and their followers. Suddenly he is attacked by Childress, who stabs him in the stomach and lifts him off of the ground. Cohle manages to headbutt Errol, and in doing so frees himself. Hart arrives and shoots Errol, wounding him but not enough to keep the serial killer from throwing a hatchet into Hart's chest. As Errol is about to deliver a death blow to Hart with the hatchet, Cohle shoots Childress in the head, killing him.

Papania and Gilbough, who were called to the scene by Hart, arrive with backup and find the half-sister handcuffed in the house, and Hart clinging to the unconscious, critically wounded Cohle, in Carcosa. After a long stay in the hospital, both men manage to recover from their wounds. The police have been able to find enough evidence to connect Errol to the murder of Dora Lange and dozens of others, including the modern day murders. However, they are unable to find anything linking Errol and Carcosa to the Tuttles, who escape prosecution.

Hart and Cohle accept that they'll never catch the rest, but that they still got their man. Hart sees his whole family for the first time in years and breaks down in tears. Hart wheels Cohle out of the hospital one night and they talk in the parking lot. Cohle reveals that when he was comatose, he felt the presence of his daughter and father, and has come out of the experience with a significantly more hopeful outlook on life. Cohle describes a universal battle between light and dark. Based on the night sky, Hart notes that the dark has much more territory. Cohle responds, "Once there was only dark. You ask me, the light's winning." The two leave the hospital together.

‘True Detective’ Season 2: What I Know So Far



The next season of “True Detective” will be about “hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system,” says series creator Nic Pizzolatto.


Matthew McConaughey won't be back.
The show was always intended as an anthology with a new story each season. The surprise survival of both Rust Cohle and Marty Hart at the end of Season One suggested at least one could return, someday. But McConaughey has said he never planned to stay beyond one season.

It could take place in Southern California.
Pizzolatto said in an interview with BuzzFeed's Kate Authur that he's “been reading about the last 40 years of Southern California government.” He also signaled that the show is leaving his home state of Louisiana: He said he hopes the new season “presents new characters in a new place with authenticity and resonance and an authorial voice consistent with this season. Dominant colors will change. South Louisiana was green and burnished gold.”

There will be more than one director this time.
Season 1 owes much of its gorgeous, moody aesthetics to Cary Fukunaga, but logistics will prevent him from shooting every episode in Season 2, as he did in Season 1.

“We don't have any plans to work with one director again,” Pizzolatto told Buzzfeed. “It would be impossible to do this yearly as we need to be able to do post while we're still filming, like any other show. There's some great guys I've consulted, and we're all confident we can achieve the same consistency

The format of the show is wide open.
“I tried to make the format as broad for my tastes as possible in the sense that, yes, this is almost the ‘True Detective’ version of a buddy cop movie hunting for a serial killer,” Pizzolatto said at TCA. “And in that way, it even touches on a lot of those tropes while, I hope, subverting and making them entirely new through the character work. And, you know, there could be a season that's much more of a widespread conspiracy thriller, a season that's a small town murder mystery, a season where nobody is murdered and it's a master criminal versus a rogue detective or something.

Even the title, ‘True Detective,’ is meant to be, of course,
purposefully somewhat generic before you even get to the there are deeper indications. The word ‘true’ can also mean honorable and authentic and things like that. But all the previous incarnations of anything titled ‘True Detective’ was an anthology; right? So as long as there is some crime in there, I think the series format can approach it. I mean, theoretically you could tell Faulkner's ‘Absalom Absalom!’ as a season of ‘True Detective’ because it's told as a mystery story.”

True Detective’ Season 2 Update: First Script In; Rumors About New Lead

Late last week, a big step was taken forward for True Detective season 2. Series creator Nic Pizzolatto reportedly turned in the script for the first episode of the new season, and the lead for this new storyline is not what we’d heard it might be. In the months since the first season finished, we’d heard rumors suggesting various new directions, from redoing the two-detective structure of the first season, to relying upon a more female-centric cast. Now, it turns out, at least the first episode just centers on one male lead. The rumor came from The Wrap , who posted it as a Twitter exclusive:

"The 1st script for 2nd season is IN
& agency sources tell us it features one
MALE lead & male/female co-stars."


Does this confirm True Detective won’t have a female lead? Not at all. If the first season taught us anything, it’s that Pizzolatto thrives on the unexpected. Who is to say the main character of the first episode stays the main character, stays good, or even survives?

I still think anything is possible with this show, which is exactly why fans are so excited about it. With the first script completed, we now can make an educated guess at Pizzolatto’s timeline. You’d imagine he would complete the scripts by the late Fall, maybe casting and production in early 2015 and a potential air date Fall 2015. That’s just a guess but it seems feasible.

Contenders For Emmy Best Drama Actor



Frontrunners

Bryan Cranston is aiming for a record-tying fourth win for Best Drama Actor at the Emmys for the final season of " Breaking Bad ," but faces a strong challenger in Matthew McConaughey, whose recent career resurgence included an Oscar earlier this year for " Dallas Buyers Club." He just won a Critics' Choice TV Award for his role as tortured cop Rust Cohle in HBO's " True Detective " and hopes to cap off his year with an Emmy.

Cranston has earned Drama Actor bids for every season to date of "Breaking Bad," and this year will likely be no
exception, especially given the show's massive ratings surge for its final episodes. He leads our predictions with 23/10 odds.

But McConaughey will give him a run for his money. Our Editors and Experts are evenly split between him and Cranston. Add to that the support of hundreds of Users,
and he gets very close with odds of 13/5.

They'll almost certainly be joined by returning nominee, Kevin Spacey, who played corrupt politico Francis Underwood for a second season of Netflix's acclaimed streaming series " House of Cards " and gets 15/2 odds.

Nominees

Woody Harrelson didn't earn as much fanfare for "True Detective" as McConaughey, but he has a strong history with the TV academy, winning one Emmy (1989 Comedy Supporting Actor, 'Cheers') out of seven nominations. If "Detective" is a big Emmy success, expect Harrelson to go along for the ride. He gets 12/1 odds.

Poor Jon Hamm doesn't have a single Emmy to show for his 11 nominations to date, including six in this category for AMC's " Mad Men ." But despite the show's diminishing returns – it hasn't won a trophy since 2011 – Hamm still gets 16/1 odds.

James Spader also has odds of 16/1. He's already a three-time winner in this category for playing attorney Alan Shore on "The Practice" and "Boston Legal," and he's a strong bet to return for his latest role in NBC's surprise hit " The Blacklist ."

Reminder: True Detective Casting Could Be This Week

We might not be coming up with Dream Casting for too much longer; last week HBO head Michael Lombardo said that concrete casting announcements might happen next week. Well, since time just refuses to quit, “next week” has since become “this week.” We could be just a few short days from having official casting details.

It was obvious that the faucet was turned once rumors about Colin Farrel and Taylor Kitsch kicked in, pretty much confirming that it as all a short matter of time. Part of us will miss coming with possible cast possibilities, but there’s nothing quite like the real
thing. A formal cast announcement would also mean that we get to move onto the next phase of the waiting game.
