The Theory - 'True Detective'

We finished episode 5 of 'True Detective' and this is my theory on the show and Detective Rust Cohle:

‘True Detective’  Theory on Rust Cohle:

 

Episode: 1

“Start asking the right fucking questions.” -Cohle

• Cohle wants to know more about the case - obsession  

Episode: 3

“The world needs bad men, we keep the other bad men from the door.” - Cohle

• Cohle doesn’t claim to be good… he’s not. But he’s better than the men he’s after. Everything he does in the end justifies the means.

  Episode: 5

   “Show me the file. Isn’t this supposed to be a consultation?” - Cohle

• Cohle is after the killer… the yellow king. 

“How about you let us see what you're keeping in storage?” - Present Day Detective 

 “Fuck no, you can’t see my storage unit.” - Cohle

• Cohle has evidence. Cohle is tracking the yellow king… and he always will be.

  

   Because life is a circle that repeats itself.  This is a world where nothing is solved...

This is my theory and maybe they will change by the end of the series...

But this is part of what's great about this show, we all have different theories.

What are your's?
