True Detective Season 2: 10 Big Questions From Episode 1

2. Will Ray Pay For Beating The Bully's Father?

The introductory plot-line rears its head again towards the end of the episode, as Ray drives to the house of his son's bully. In perhaps the most immediately shocking scene so far, he mercilessly beats down the child's father while forcing him to watch, before callously leaving the pair on their front lawn. Ray's retribution is even more disturbing as it appears to have little to do with his victimised son, but rather his own insecurities. He looks on as his kid is taunted in the schoolyard, not with a protective instinct, but one of shame. Questions Raised: Who else will feel Ray's wrath? What does this mean for his relationship with his son? Will this come back to haunt him?
