We can see where this quest for the truth is gradually taking Cohle but its more about to define his character than to serve a plot point. His meeting with Tuttle was more about to get a reaction out him than anything he got what he was looking for to the point of getting yelled at and be suspended. You can see his obsession delving into these murders, trying to finding the truth where he is consumed by it. We got two episodes left and we are still trying to piece together what changed Cohle to who he is today, what has been up to for the past eight years?. What Maggi's revenge on having sex with Cohle caused What it caused between Marty and Cohle, all their relations damaged. This week's 6th episode revealed more about the conflicts of these two men and why the broke off it was about the haunted souls of the past. Maybe Gilbough and Papania work for the Yellow King?.they want to know what Cohle really knows who is involved, maybe they are on Cohle's hit list, but these are all plot related questions but I am just going by what we has been presented to us it how this show started with these so-called camera interviews that seem manipulative in their nature by these two officers who claim they are trying to help Cohle but more like making a patsy out of Cohle, if we have learned anything from Cohle's character and his obessision with this case is that he can't be the killer. But Marty didn't fall for their game, maybe because deep down Marty likes Cohle, regardless of their differences of the past issues, he respects Cohle, even though he may think Cohle is borderline insane. They are building a case against Cohle, they seem to be on a mission to even get Marty on board. There is something no body has asked yet and that maybe we are missing what is right in front of us and that are detective Gilbough and Papania, who are they?.who do they work for?. Ryan is falling victim to the plot point conjecture theories, he is trying to figure it all out, to make a linear or logical story plot, he is trying conjecture where the show is heading and still missing the point that the murder STORY is just a side show to what is the bigger picture underneath. He had proposed five plausible directions the show may take from 5th episode. I read a brilliant review on Paste Magazine on this show by Shane Ryan on episode 5th.

I read interview with him about the show and even he said that audiences have been fooled and cheated for so many years that they can't trust the narrative or what is been presented to them anymore that's not how he writes. I don't think Nic Pizzolatto is that kind of a writer to deceive his audience. Last week's episode 5 raised a lot of questions, but I refuse to give into to the idea of a monkey wrench thrown into the story to throw us off.
