We're on the blood path now
Man...I went back to episode 1 bc I know they're somehow going to spill the beans and reveal what happens in the story through foreshadowing through imagery.
Man everything is there. He has to stop Roland from shooting a fox. Just before that he was shooting at a rat. Later they're riding around and they're talking about a story about Wayne killing a boar during the war. Roland asks him why kill the boar and not the fox? He says you eat a boar... Only had one shot anyway. Roland later says he used to get a dollar for killing a fox, and Wayne says I'll give you a dollar for not shooting it. i Later when they first arrive at the scene after the kids have been reported missing. They introduce themselves and then IMMEDIATELY the scene cuts forward to old Wayne about to be interviewed. Literally the first thing you hear before you ever see anything is "you ok with this setup?" and then uses that movie thing and slaps it. I also want to point out the song playing when we first see the father fixing the car and the song is playing from a small radio in the garage. The lyrics talk about when you unravel pleasure, pain is at the root of it.
It's very clear to me that 1) It's a widespread conspiracy that involves people high up. 2) His wife gets involved or is somehow involved with the whole thing. 3) Wayne stops Roland from pulling the trigger. Subsequently the politicians force them to cover up the case. I came to that conclusion based off Roland's comments during the scene of them in episode 5 on the porch, when Wayne asks Roland where the picture of him and Bill Clinton? Roland replies that he lined his dogs crate with it. 4) Wayne is forced to walk away and chooses not to be a rat and expose everyone. Roland wants to pursue but Wayne just wants to walk away. It's why in episode 5 he says that hoyt came to see him after whatever happened, with Roland stunned and wondering why he didn't tell him.
Overall I think this show is about the friendship of two men loyal to each other, who are fulfilling childhood fantasies of being detectives. They're not really detectives. You see that in episode 1 when Wayne babies Roland and tells him he can put on the blue siren if he wants to. Then fast forward to episode 5, to the scene with roland finally aquiesing to help old Wayne attempt to solve the case. Again, Roland knows they can't really solve the case, but decides to do try and work wit wayne because it fulfills his need to be close friends again. It's clear the writers are trying to communicate a sort of tacit intimacy between the two. They do it earlier on in episode 5 when Wayne brings Roland flowers for their dinner. Meanwhile he's treating his wife like shyt at the dinner table.
I wish creators wouldn't put so much symbolism in the first episode that gives away the story. It's a good ass show but it's kind of easy to see what direction this will go
Hope I'm wrong.
