True Detective 1.07

After You've Gone

Rust and Marty talk over a few beers. Rust explains that he feels that they have unfinished business. He is referring to the case of Dora Lange. Rust is convinced that there was a third man in addition to Reggie and Dewall Ledoux, and he might still be out there. Rust's word and his impressions aren't enough to convince Marty. It isn't until Rust shows Marty some evidence he stole from one of the Reverend Tuttle's homes, some pretty horrific stuff, that Marty gets on board.

Marty goes to see Maggie. He asks about their girls. He also wants to know about what she told Detectives Gilbough and Papania. Later in the episode she goes to see Rust.

Ritzik Goes Civilian

Sgt Ritzik gets out of the Army earlier than Bilko anticipated. Bilko can't stand to see him go, for the usual reason: one less person with whom to gamble. Mrs. Ritzik has her husband take out a loan against his life insurance policy and buy a road side diner. The venture does not prove successful. Bilko shows up just in time to help out Rupert and Emma. He talks the man who sold them the diner into repaying the Ritziks or else get a lot of bad publicity for ripping off an army veteran. 

Thoughts

There was a dream sequence in which Bilko, influenced by something Henshaw and Barbella told him, dreams that everyone he knows is poor but he is rich. It looked like A Christmas Carol, but without Christmas. Colonel Hall and some of the men from Bilko's platoon (Fender, Mullen, Paparelli) show up in the dream sequence.

This was fun. I enjoyed this episode. It wasn't great but it works.
