That monster was a man in his underwear with a gas mask on his face.

True DetectiveEpisode 4, Who Goes There, tells how the detectives got there.

To find out Who Goes There Cohle and Hart have to go through the nine circles of Hell.

Hey, what cop show worth its silver isnt filled with each of these.

Brad Carter plays Charlie Lange like hes trying to do the prison limbo under the soap on a rope.

Sure, he showed his housemate a couple pictures.

Carter deflates when he takes in what hes done.

First you see the reaction, then you see the set up.

It keeps you off balance and this episode follows that uneven keel.

But thats not the image we get of wealthy satanists.

At least I dont.

I see Stanley Kubricks vision a laEyes Wide Shut.

But back to our story.

Dora Lange sent them all on a freefall to limbo.

You want to know what its like to drink in Hell?

Bars are very cinematic.

you’re able to do anything in a bar in a movie or on TV.

Finger or no finger.

Of course, the wife is a hangover so bad her later scenes take place in a hospital.

This isnt a place for a nightcap.

This is a bar thats circling too close to hell.

Theres nothing to suggest that theres anything disconcerting about the place if you look at the dancers.

Theyre having a blast.

But theres panic at that disco and Martys the only one who can smell it.

If you were at the bar, youd probably be having a good time.

Theres a couple dancing, how scary could it be?

But this bar has tension.

The tension is all coming off of Marty.

Harrelson is so distraught hes scaring the scary dudes and not in a way theyre comfortable with.

Cohle is all about greed and treacheryonce he hits that bar.

This is the Super Bowl of blow and his nose is wide receiver.

I think they first found Marie Fontaneau up his nose.

And he doesnt make it look tasty either.

Matthew McConaughey cuts loose on Cohle in the projects, or whatever the projects are called in Louisiana.

I was so confused Id almost ask Det.

Maynard Gilbough (Michael Potts) and Detective Shinn (Eric Price) what was going on?

Why did he keep punching the guy who brought him there?

Who did he shoot to get out of there?

That was probably my bad.

Did they say my bad yet in the early nineties?

Buy me a drink and Ill tell you.
