True Detective, Seeing Things, dir. Cary Fukunaga (2014)

"I can't say the job made me this way. More like me being this way made me right for the job. I used to think about it more, but you reach a certain age you know who you are. Now I live in a little room, out in the country behind a bar, work four nights a week, and in between I drink. And there ain't nobody there to stop me. I know who I am. And after all these years, there's a victory in that."

#i'm so sorry #i'm not sure how to actually do the link to tags #i've been away too long #but yes.#rust is wrong and THAT'S THE POINT!!#people don't give marty enough credit #because 'you sound panicked' is absolutely 100% on point; a blisteringly accurate read #he is trying SO HARD to hide from his trauma in bullshit nihilism #to act like he doesn't care when he does. immensely. massively.#that's why he's the box man #his deep and terrible empathy comes out and is twisted into this absolute and totally merciless justice #he feels so much and he tries so hard to sever that part of himself #and if he can't amputate that depth of feeling he suppresses it #or forges it into a weapon; both sword and shield #ugh. ugh!#blorbo supreme i tell you #the light's winning #rust cohle #true detective
