Despite this setback, Hays wanted to keep going which upset West who was closer to Tom (the episode would feature a look back to when West visited Tom and offered him his help whenever he needed it). Just like the Woodard incident ended the 80s investigation, Tom Purcell’s suicide ended the 90s investigation and he would be convicted posthumously for his children’s murder while Woodard’s conviction would be overturned. Meanwhile, when he returned home, Amelia told him about the one-eyed black man who showed up at her reading. Hays would be called to Devil’s Den where he and West found the body of Tom Purcell who appeared to have committed suicide which we know was probably not the case (In 2015, Eliza would present evidence that even suggested this). This True Detective episode started off again the 90s with some resolution after the events of the end of the previous episode. In this episode, we start to see how far that conspiracy reached (with one special surprise) and it also helped fill more gaps while further connecting the timelines. When Teeth steals the key to the locker with the clean money, he must go after him, resulting in the most intense game of chicken this side of 'Rebel Without a Cause.Next week’s episode of True Detective is going to big but this one was pretty big too.Īfter the ending of the last episode, the season has pretty much played its hand with the whole conspiracy angle. Of course, more double-crossing occurs, on a minute-to-minute basis, and after securing the heist money, The Driver waits in a hotel for it to be transferred and laundered. It becomes less about the job and more about whether The Driver can skirt up against the law without getting caught. The Detective visits him and strikes his interest by suggesting a double-or-nothing game. The Driver refuses to work with these petty criminals on their heist, having no interest in getting caught. According to the film's stunt driver Billy Burton, O'Neal was actually trained to do some of the driving stunts in this scene, and that 'no process shots were used,' adding to the authenticity of the action. He responds by wrecking their Mercedes in a parking deck, smashing it into walls with dynamite precision and even knocking the driver side door off. The criminals Teeth (Rudy Ramos) and Glasses (Joseph Walsh) meet with The Driver and question his abilities and his reputation.
