the cops at the end told marty it was "some kind of voodoo cult", so I believe worship of a yellow king had to do with that and the ritual in the video

[tyven]

but how do you know calling it a voodoo cult wasnt a cover up STRAIGHT FROM THE TOP? I thought only darkies got their voodoo on.

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

black stars duh. and bottle of grape drink left at all the crime scenes

[samalis]

Loved the episode, man it was fucked up when Marty went upstairs and they showed the dead fetuses on the blankets.

This has to be my favorite show, ending was great. I hope season 2 is just as good.

[kisada]

Didn't scar face say something along the lines of

"I haven't left my mark in a while" ... Was he referring to that?

yeah this is what he meant by that. i didn't catch it the first time but on the second watch, he basically put the girls out as a showing of his work.

[kisada]

had a snow day last week and rewatched the 1st 7 in a row. can confirm that rewatching it all is super easy and enjoyable. great replay value. 5/5 fun factor. would fap again

also it seemed to me in carcosa there was a pile of bones and skulls sort of draped in yellow that looked like it had a crown. i am wondering if that was the yellow king all along, like some sort of fucked up alter/statue that they prayed to. Either that or grand pappy tuttle was the ring leader that really got shit popping and was looked at as the yellow king. i love that we will prob never know

yeah to me that was the yellow king for sure. it was in the deepest part of carcosa too, wasn't it?

also from that interview, one thing that i really appreciated about the ending was in a way he forced cohle to stay alive. whereas it would have been really easy to kill him off (which is all he wanted), it was so much more meaningful to keep him alive, not only taking away his desire but forcing him to re-evaluate his philosophies.

I took it to mean his devils traps... since he made it sound like he's left his mark more than once, but there's only been the one girl found posed.

[ArchDizzle]

Dont even know atm, I am happy with the ending it was a great episode but sad as fuck rust and marty are no longer going to grace us with their presence such an amazing duo. Going to lower my expectations for season 2 it will be hard to match what they did.

"This is really early, but I'll tell you [it's about] hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system," revealed Pizzolatto.

So maybe two women detectives next season?

02/21/1993
Phoenix Black

REPORT RE: CASE DEVELOPMENT / TERMINATION OF UC ASSET DESIGNATION ‘CAR CRASH’ – RC-99372

On February 20, 1993, UC Asset Designation ‘Car Crash’ – RC 99372, from here on referred to as ‘Crash’, notified DEA Officer Brooks that the Outlaw Motor Cycle Gang, Iron Crusaders, was to take possession, for distribution, of a large cocaine shipment coming into the Port of Houston. This shipment was from the Columbian Cartel, and he had been picked as part of a crew to meet this shipment.

Crash had been infiltrated with the Iron Crusaders for six months as part of the Phoenix Black operation. As a non-vested member of the Iron Crusaders, Crash was tasked to be involved in any activity that would expedite his membership as a Prospect. The members of the inner circle of the Iron Crusaders had chosen Crash to be part of the crew who would meet the Cartel boat at the POH container site, and transport the cocaine to its distribution site.

The location of the Iron Crusader’s primary distribution centre was information that this investigation had been seeking for many months. With the ability to arrive at the same time as a large shipment of cocaine arrived would enable us to prosecute with no chance of failure. Crash had managed to get the date, and the location of the dock to Agt. Brooks, but not the exact time of docking, or when the transfer of the cocaine would occur.

On 02/20/93 at approximately 5.30pm Agt. Brooks staged undercover officers at the dock, and in the POH offices. Twenty-five Officers were tasked to the operation, which was run with cooperation from the POHPD and the HPD. The plan was that the members of the Iron Crusaders, including Crash, would take possession of the cocaine, and exit the Port. An additional unit would follow them. This unit would make the arrests upon arrival at their distribution centre. The units at POH would record the entire transaction, audio on Crash and hidden video.

At 8.45pm we were able to ascertain the arrival of the MS-AmberTide, and subsequentlyat 9.02pm staged our officers around the dock assigned to her arrival. At 10.00pm The Amertide [sic] docked, and the transfer of cocaine was taking place when one member of the cartel, Miguel Sanchez, recognized a DEA officer on the dock. At 10.17pm Sanchez opened fire on the DEA office [sic], John Smith, and in the ensuing gunfight three of the cartel members were fatally shot. Miguel Sanchez, Rico Rodriguez, and Roberto Cortez. The DEA officers sustained gun shot wounds. UC asset Crash sustained three gunshot wounds to the upper torso, and was left for dead by the remaining members of the Iron Crusaders who evaded capture by escaping on their bikes through the docks.

The shipment of cocaine, 15 kilos, was captured jointly, by the officers of the DEA task force, and the HPD.

As CO of the task force, I felt the usefulness of UC asset Car Crash was no longer justified on this operation. Had he ‘survived’ he would have been arrested and incarcerated. It was decided that he would be listed as one of the fatal casualties, and should that this information could be leaked at any point to either the Cartels or the Iron Crusaders O??, if it was necessary to secure this asset’s safety.

RE: INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION #90-13-8-RC – OFFICER SHOOTING

Dear Officer Cohle,

I have been tasked to come to a decisions in regards to your use of excessive and unnecessary force and the subsequent fatal shooting of the suspect Tom White. As an Officer of the Law you must be able to carry out your duties with out any personal influence affecting the outcome. We must look to the Law first, and know that with strong Police Investigation, and a sound Legal foundation, justice will be ???.

I have met with your superiors, your fellow officers have read your personnel file. It would appear that you have been an outstanding officer, despite your recent history. I am aware of your tragic loss and subsequent divorce. I am also aware that your last undercover assignment has led to your current substance abuse issues. It would be remiss of me to strike you down for sentencing due to what could be seen as extenuating circumstances. Consequently as Attorney General of Texas I am willing [sic] offer you a chance to redeem your self and stay out of the state’s correctional facilities. You will present your self to Federal Agent Brooks of the DEA, who will assign you as an undercover asset to any Task Force or Law Enforcement Agency that he feels would be aided by your undercover work.

You will report directly to Agent Brooks, and it will be his decision as to when you would be classified as ready to return to normal duty. This is a one time offer, Mr. Cohle and I suggest you think long and hard about the consequences should you chose [sic] to turn it down.

very truly yours,
David Smith
Attorney General of Texas

EW.com has a deleted scene showing why Rust broke up with his girlfriend, who was on the show for about 20 minutes.
