People are going full retard and stretching already. but the way the episode was paced is confusing at points, did you already know all the names and characters Vaughn was throwing out?
I have watched it only once just now. From what I remember they introduce every name in order. If they reference it without the person being in the room then they did it before with him in the room. The therapist calls him by name, vaughn calls him by name, then he calls him by name for the one to rough the reporter up. Casperre was the same, they showed a picture on the wall of him and you can see his face in the car, and then you see the license with his name on it. I don't think they could have been any clearer on it.

I don't believe vince vaughn's character (frank) kills the guy who raped valenco's wife, he just hands him a picture with details presumably of where to find him. This obviously had to happened years ago since it (duh) occurred before his kid was born, the show implying his kid is actually a rape baby and not his genetic son. We don't know what happened to the rapist, the show suggests valenco was a "good" cop before (NO MUSTACHE ==> mustache is sign of bad character as we all know) and the rape/revenge chain of events turned him down the dark path.

Vince doesnt kill him with his bare hands, but the guy is dead. Its implied by young Farrell storming out and his reaction later with his lawyer l

It's not implied that Vince killed him. He references the guy several times in the present tense, as in, he's still alive. The paper attached to the photo has an address on it. He does say " I wanted to do this, and now it's done." He's referring to giving Farrell the information, not having the guy killed.

Letting Farrell kill the guy himself makes him dirty, he crosses the line, so more likely he'll cross it again, and again. Making him useful to Vaughn.

Whatever you want to think I guess. The guy will never show up again. If you want o break it down, do you think he will let a sex offender walk the streets? fuck no.

How the fuck do people think Farrells "rapist father of his son" is on the street when he just went full crazy on a kid cutting up sons shoes


Lets think about this again

Farrell just beat the fuck out of a innocent man because his son was being a bullied, but he leaves a crazy druggy on the streets that raped his ex wife..... Did you not watch the fucking show, everything is layed out. Season one was just as blunt

Are you feeling ok? I'm trying to figure out who the fuck you're arguing with. No one has said that the rapist is still alive.

Edit: Nevermind. I see what happened. You think spronk was saying that the rapist wasn't dead. That's not what he said. We're all saying the same thing pretty much.

I just dont understand why people are thinking there is more to the story. last year everyone said to have a separate thread for season 2 conspircy nuts


Is Klitch and Mcadams characters just that boring? Farrell killed every scene and knowing hes been put is a crazy conundrum will be awesome.

Hopefully McAdams will turn into a better character, but she didn't really do much the first episode. All we know is she likes brutal anal and likes to get her drink on.

From the previews I thought Ferrell was going to be chaotic good but thats definitely not the case. I mentioned before the season started I was hoping that the show finally bring big shootouts like L.A. confidential which looks like there is a good chance with all the corruption.

I kept thinking they would have a big shootout in season 1 and they had one-shot in the ghetto but I would have preferred taking multiple shots where the punches didnt look awful a long with tons of other mistakes

Give me a shootout with Klitch and Ferrell like this
Incidentally I'm pretty sure Vince Vaughn's house in this show was the Fleur de Lis guy's house in LA confidential.

Jesus, this show really fucks with people's minds apparently. Even when it isn't.

This forum goes full retard with stuff like this. Everything turns into Lost mysteries for some people.

There should be more throwaway references to Lost. Like lotto numbers turning up as someone's license plate ID+registration date and the locker numbers of cops who get killed in a driveby. But then never explain it or reference it beyond that and have those elements be explained separately as part of the actual story. Fuck with people. Admit on the DVD that it was just to fuck with them.

I think it's safe to say this season is going to be a lot more straightforward than last considering even the "bad guy" is part of the main cast.

Wait for episode 6, when we find out the "bad guy" is actually receiving instruction from a spirit named Jacob.

I was not expecting it after the end of S1 was totally free of wacky conspiracies but here we are again.
