![]() ![]() The connection to Danvers’s case at the research lab? Danvers knows the eight missing scientists from the Tsalal facility are all men because Pete read each of their names off of one of the facility computers like he was announcing the starting five of an NBA team at the arena. ![]() Navarro found her brutally murdered with 32 stab wounds and her tongue removed, but Navarro was “bounced off the case” and is now (very classically) a former detective turned state trooper with a haunted past. The cold case involves a Native woman, Annie Masu Kowtok, who had a lot of enemies because she protested the local mine-a massive economy driver in small-town Ennis. It all signals that the station has been empty for at least two days.ĭanvers quickly registers that the tongue might be related to an older, unsolved case from years back, on which Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) still has a deep fixation. Danvers also calls out the odor of the wet clothes in the washer she knows the syrupy mayo on a leftover sandwich-not the cold cuts themselves-is a key piece of evidence. She’s also the only one able to tell that the tongue on the floor is at least two days old and that it belongs to a Native woman, recognizable by the marks left by a fishing wire. Danvers is the only one of the three who can manage to shut off an on-loop DVD of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Hank’s son and Danvers’s protégé, Pete (Finn Bennett), is also there, already in the midst of compiling research. She and Hank Prior (John Hawkes) arrive at the empty Tsalal Arctic Research Station to assess the scene after a delivery driver notifies the police in Ennis, Alaska, about a severed tongue on the floor. What we do know is that Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) is already deep in her bag. So, yeah, I hate to be anticlimactic, but this won’t be an easy case to solve. Well, let’s just take a general stock of what’s going on here: Caribou are jumping off cliffs to their deaths a woman is hanging out with barefoot dead people in the freezing snow a polar bear with one eye is roaming the streets a rogue severed tongue is connecting cases past and present and scientists are frozen solid with their mouths still wide open from screaming. We’re in Night Country now, and we’ll be following along each week to try to piece together, with the help of police chief Liz Danvers and detective Evangeline Navarro, who perpetrated those gruesome crimes in Ennis, Alaska. ![]() After four years away, True Detective returns for a new season with a sinistrous subtitle. ![]()
