We've been tasked with investigating crimes with possible occult links.
There's been a rash of animal mutilations,
cemeteries defiled.
- And they want to see what we have on the Lange case. - Uh-huh.
Well, this task force is important to the Commander
and to the Governor's Office.
You know, a lot of people are concerned about it.
You know, me, I don't see the connection
between two dead cats and a murdered woman.
But then, I'm from Texas.
Heh!
We're not stepping on your toes, Marty.
We just got the mandate. We got to compare notes with what you got.
Yeah.
- Here you are, Detective. - No. Oh.
- Thanks, Cathleen. - You got it.
Xerox all you want.
Make you feel like good cops.
You two, my office.
Cohle, we got a new rule around here, especially for you.
You got an opinion about anything,
you hold on to it.
You hold on to it or you tell it to Marty.
Otherwise, button your big, fat mouth.
However smart you are, you're not as smart as you think.
Be serious, boss.
This God-bothering ***.
It's a political circle-jerk. You know this.
Is this a place you live?
Where are you, huh?
You had anything in the last weeks? You got a suspect?
Give us some more guys
to follow up KAs, track records.
No, our bosses don't want you at all, you understand?
I don't want you.
You are upright only by the grace of this man's reputation.
***, Cohle.
How many ways are there for me to say, "Shut the *** up"?
I mean, we work under command, right?
Now, our betters want a public, high-profile show of response.
***, I got a state senator,
he's trying to label Satanic graffiti as a hate crime.
That has nothing to do with our DB, and that's the fact of it.
Okay, okay. Fine.
Let's say that's true, all right?
Let's say that you guys get the case all to yourselves.
You ever solve a ***, been in the red more than a week?
You ever clear one where two rounds of questions didn't hand you the *** answer?
- Oh, come on - No, no, you got leads, you got a timeline.
You know what I got? I got a whodunit
where my two detectives are stalling,
and I got a brand-new task force wants to take it off our hands.
We have a lead
Oh, for Christ's sake. *** off, Cohle.
Christ.
It's your call.
You want to dump this one off?
You know, I'd think about it, given the spotlight.
You know, Teddy Bertrand's a good detective. You know him.
Well, you're a smart-*** with your mouth shut.
I was just gonna say
we've got a lead on a church.
Our vic was spending a lot of time there.
That's where we were headed. It could be the break we need.
Inside, whatever they're putting over you,
how much more time could you get us?
Right now, it's up for discussion, but,
you know, Tuttle's lighting a fire under this.
Without a suspect, they're just gonna
stop asking questions, Marty, and they're gonna give orders.
That's that.
Give us the rest of the month
before they lump it into whatever
the play is with the task force, yeah?
I'll try.
Two weeks, and then you two start catching again.
Yeah.
