"It's supposed to be what I want." "It's supposed to help me." "We do help you!" "All the goddamn time!" "Okay, well, what do you want me to say?" "You want me to talk about the woman, had antlers?" "Do you want me to tell you about the kids disappearing, and maybe you'll stop with the "poor me" little whiny bullshit?" "Is that what you're saying, hmm?" "That I'm trying to make you feel bad for me?" "Is that really how you want to play this?" "No, honey." "I think you're the greatest woman I ever met, and you're the greatest thing that ever happened to me." "But, yeah, you know, sometimes" "I think you might have a penchant for self-pity."

"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." "(CHUCKLES)" "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." "Thanks, Cathleen." "You got it." "Xerox all you want." "Make you feel like good oops." "You mo, my office." "QUESADA:" "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."

"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." "Goddamn, Cohle." "How many ways are there for me to say, "Shut the fuck up"?" "I mean, we work under command, right?" "Now, our betters want a public, high-profile show of response." "Shit, 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 murder been in the red more than a week?" "You ever clear one where two rounds of questions didn't hand you the fucking answer?" " HART:" "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, boss." " Oh, for Christ's sake." "Fuck off, Cohle." "(QUESADA SIGHS)" "Christ." "It's your call." "You want to dump this one off?" "You ought to think about it, given the spotlight." "You know, Teddy Bertrand's a good detective." "You know him." "Well, you're a smartass 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, Tutile'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?" "Ru try." "Two weeks, and then you two start catching again." "Yeah." "HART:" "Let's cut to the point." "As the crow ﬂies, y'all are wanting to ask about that big throw-down in the woods, yeah?" "Eventually, sure." "Right now, we're just trying to track the case." "How Cohle worked it, especially." "Which indicates you think I'm too thick to realize that y'all are trying to jam somebody up." "You're on to something new." "So Cohle didn't want to give it to the task force." "Did you?" "No, I did not." "(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)" "HART:" "It don't make sense." "There is nothing out here." "According to this map, it should be within these few miles." "Well, ahem, I guess if it's one of those tent revival places, they move around." "Yeah." "Tents usually do." "There's no date on this flyer, which is strange." "There's something up there." "PAPANIA:" "Wait, wait, back up." "Are you saying you hallucinated on the job?" "Mmm." "No." "I mean, I could always tell what was real or what wasn't, you know." "So when I'd see things, fuck, man, I'd just roll with it." "You still see things?"

"But there were other times," "I thought I was mainlining the secret truth of the universe." "(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING) Ripped By mstoll"
