Former Louisiana State CID partners, Rustin Cohle and Martin Hart, give statements to a pair of investigators about the murder of a prostitute that took place 17 years earlier.

Quesada warns Hart and Cohle that they may be replaced by an occult-crimes task force. The pair follows a lead to a rural cathouse and an incinerated church. And Hart finds respite away from home.

Parishioners identify a scarred man seen with Dora Lange; a sex offender is brought in for interrogation; Maggie sets Cohle up with a friend; Cohle looks over old case files.

Dr. Leanne Rorish puts her new first-year residents right to work at Angels Memorial Hospital, home to the busiest ER in the nation.

Hart and Cohle follow a series of leads in an effort to track down their prime suspect.
