True Detective is written by Nic Pizzolatto and directed by Cary Fukunaga. It centers on two detectives, Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson), whose lives collide and entwine during a seventeen-year hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. The investigation of a bizarre murder in 1995 is framed and interlaced with testimony from the detectives in 2012, when the case has been reopened.
In Episode 5, Rust takes one of his “friends” from his time in vice, and they go to see Reggie Ladoux’s cook (meth), hoping to get him to cook for them (hoping to get an in to see Ladoux) but he refused. They follow him to the cook house, where they find the 2 men who cook and also 2 children held hostage in a bedroom. Martin had already handcuffed one of the men, and upon finding the children, he shoots the guy in his head. They set up everything to make it appear that the 2 men fired upon them first. Their stories to the shooting boards do fit each other’s stories and the evidence. But everyone considered them to be heroes, for saving the girl child (the boy was dead). This episode concentrated a lot on their personal lives, especially Martin.
Rust interrogates a suspect in a double murder, made him confess, then he wants to make a deal. He says he knows who killed the girl and says he knows who the Yellow King is. Right then, the other detectives come in and make him leave. He knows he has a new lead. Rust and Hart go to see him in jail, where he commits suicide so they can’t talk to him. Spring ahead to 2012, the detectives try to get Rust to let them see his storage unit, and he tells them to get a warrant (which he knows they can’t, no probable cause) They also try to get Hart to turn on Rust, but that does not happen either. Turns out, Rust has been investigating this case (which has grown cold by 2012) on his own.
Episode 6 starts with Marty talking to 2 boys who were with his oldest daughter in a car. They were in jail overnight, so when Marty shows up, the guard walks away for 20 minutes, leaving Marty alone with them. He lets his fists do the talking. Spring ahead to 2012, the detectives push and push him over Rust, so he gets up and leaves. In 2002, Rust goes and talks to the girl they saved (who is in a facility) and when he talks to her about the man with the scars on his face, she freaks out. When he gets back to his station, he gets in trouble for looking into old cases. Later, he gets suspended without pay for a month. Marty’s wife finds out that he cheated on her again, so she goes to Rust and she gets him have sex, as she knows that this will hurt Marty the most. It does. The next morning the two have a fight in the parking lot and Rust then quits his job. In 2002, they meet up again and go to have a beer.
