![]() 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. DeWall panics and flees but is killed when he detonates one of the booby traps. ![]() Enraged, Hart kills Ledoux with a shot to the head. 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. The pair descend on the house where Hart apprehends Ledoux and handcuffs 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. DeWall refuses to do a drug deal with Cohle, but after DeWall leaves, Hart follows him. I just hope Pizzolatto has it in him for more seasons, because I know I will be tuning in.In 1995, Ginger and Cohle (still undercover) meet with DeWall, Ledoux's cook partner, in a roadside bar. The many characters outside these two are fleshed out completely and feel just as important as the two detectives, and on top of this, the plotting and world he has developed is intricate and well-planned - all while still feeling like the writer isn’t even present. He has created four characters embodied by just two men. In fact, Nic Pizzolatto, sole writer of True Detective, is doing some amazing things for television. I haven’t really mentioned the writing throughout this entire season because of the ways these two actors carry the show, but that’s not because the writing is bad. We begin to see a beautiful buddy-cop relationship develop between our two detectives while everything else around them is changing at 100 mph. Regardless, the flawlessly filmed gunfight at the end will keep you standing just feet from your television or laptop. Unless more is shown soon, I might start to get a little worried. Even though Marty witnesses his marriage disappear in front of his own face while Cohle infiltrates his old bike club by diving headfirst into meth, the episode still feels a bit stagnant because there still wasn’t enough revealed about the murder. His range is something extraordinary, and deserves attention.Īll of this takes up nearly the entire episode. On top of these two, we still see Marty from the present-day interviews. We witness McConaughey transform from Rusty Cohle to his old, undercover persona. Back in ‘93 he opens an archaic metal trunk that contains his old life: bike club jacket, grenades and a bottle of Jameson, to just name a few items. ![]() ![]() This is when we see McConaughey do some seriously brilliant work. Marty hunts down a drug dealer at a rave, and with a gun to the kid’s face, he discovers who the killer (Reggie LaDue) sells his meth to: a motorcycle gang - the same one that Cohle belonged to when he was undercover. After his meltdown, Marty does what any man would do after getting dumped by his wife for cheating: He goes back to work. The movement in his character from white-hot anger to absolute desperation is clear in his face alone as he pleads to his father-in-law for forgiveness. His character is on the phone with his mistress first, and then his wife’s father. Harrelson’s acting when he gets the Dear John letter is heartbreaking. Throughout these scenes of him being interviewed, in the past Marty’s mistress reveals their relationship to Marty’s wife and he finds himself crashing at Cohle’s place like the women of “Two Broke Girls” - but trying to solve a ritualistic pagan murder. For the first 30 minutes we only see Marty being interviewed in the present, and it’s a nice change to show how Marty’s life was torn apart back in ’93. Like a knot you’ve worked at until you finally feel it loosen, the many storylines throughout “True Detective” are finally coming undone in “Who Goes There.” Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) is struggling to hold on to his own family, Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) slips back into his undercover life and the case erupts right in front of our tragic detectives.
