True detective season 1 episode 1 putlocker
And his "fretting" over existence has solidified into something more certain: he's gained entry – he claims – into the "locked room" that holds the secret to human perception, and is now convinced that inside is nothing more than a "dream of being a person".
If Cohle's life of solitude in 1995 seems manufactured, in 2012 it's the real thing. It's interesting to compare and contrast this 1995 Cohle with the version of him sitting in the interrogation room in 2012, calmly whittling his beer can into a stick figure. While he rebuffs the affections of the date Hart and his wife set him up with, his attachment to Hart's family – first spied during that awkward family dinner in the first episode – seems to be growing: witness the toe-curling moment when Hart returns home to find his lawn mown and Cohle sitting with Maggie in the kitchen in just his vest. Similarly, you get the impression that 1995 Cohle isn't quite as disposed to his life of solitude as he lets on. We already know about the fragility of Hart's "family man" persona, and this week we get a troubling glimpse of what lurks behind it, first when he responds to his wife Maggie's accusations over his growing detachment from home life by breaking down and confessing that he is "fucked up", and then later when he forces his way into his mistress's house and violently threatens her new boyfriend. Equally though, there's a growing sense that neither detective exactly practises what he preaches. Three episodes in, we have grown familiar with this back-and forth and the central conflict behind it – Hart's belief in the unifying structure of faith and family versus Cohle's "life is chaos" way of thinking.
"When you get to talking like this, you sound panicked," he says. And, for all the certainty with which Cohle delivers his long pronunciations on faith – parroting linguistic theory on religion being a "language virus" – there's something in his voice that betrays a deeper uncertainty. It's a perceptive assessment – at least of Cohle in 1995, a man whose preoccupation with the Lange case seems to stretch beyond mere detective work and into some deep, tortured investigation of the human condition itself. "For a guy who sees no point in existence, you fret about it an awful lot," he says to Cohle early on in this week's episode. Hart, though, is himself pretty good at spotting weakness. And, if last week's toolbox assault showed his capacity for exploiting physical weakness, this week it's the psychological failings in others that Cohle pokes and prods at, be it the sex offender he gently breaks down in interrogation by using the comforting language of faith, or Hart himself, whose fragile home life Cohle undermines through the simple act of mowing his lawn. It's a line that continues to resonate: the deeper Cohle wades into the Dora Lange murder, the more we see of his particular skill for finding and exploiting the defects in those around him. "Rust has as sharp an eye for weakness as I've seen," Hart said of Rust Cohle in Seeing Things, True Detective's second episode. Read Gwilym's Mumford's episode two recap here.
