True Detective - Climax Clue Sheet - Part 1

True Detective - HBO's awesome mystery thriller whodunnit is almost reaching its climax. But hey, with each episode the plot thickens and each episode drops some significant clues. Let me put down some clues which seem to hold a key to the plot.

Clue 1 : The title "True Detective" with word Detective in singular is the first big clue. Also, in latest episode 6, Rust says to Marty "Without me, there is no you". Could this mean the plot resembles "The Fight Club"'s alter ego scenario ? Strange and supernatural ? Is Rust a figment of Marty's imagination?

Clue 2 : Episode 2 : Marty & Hart chat with deceased Dora Lange's mother. At one moment the camera zooms to a picture frame on the wall. This shows 5 men wearing conical masks surrounding a little girl. A hint to the esoteric pagan rituals perhaps.




Clue 3 : Episode 2 : The black star tattoos on the neck of victim's friend - Miss Carla. The Black Star significance is intermittently visible through the storyline. 




Clue 4 : Episode 2 : Marty tells Rust that the Sheriff Tate too has a stake in the whorehouse run in the woods. So assuming if there are 5 people involved in the ritualistic cult killings, the Sheriff also could be one of them or atleast knows who the killers are.

Clue 5 : Episode 2 & 5 : The Carcosa, the black stars & the Yellow King references in Dora's diary and their recurring references by the prisoner in Episode 5 who tries to cut a deal with Rust in return for tips and information.



Clue 6 : Episode 3 : Also, Maggie's grandfather is seen drinking a Lone Star beer while chatting with Marty. This seems to be a subtle hint that he might be involved as well, since Rust drinks Lone Star beer all along the interrogation. Also, note the fact that Marty's daughter created the setup of miniature dolls on floor ( girls surrounded by men ). Perhaps she saw the gangbang like orgy act with her own eyes.



Clue 7 :  Episode 5 : If you pay attention, Rust carves out exactly 5 men from the empty beer cans from the available 6-pack. He smashes one can into a flat circle. This definitely seems to have significance to the plot - highly indicative of involvement of 5 men in the gruesome killings.



Folks, if you have any theories, any clues, any hints, do comment in your suggestions, which can be included in the Climax Clue Sheet - Part 2
