I loved this episode but for him to go out the way he did after being a straight G this episode and others prior is a bit bothersome to me

'Where the gas leak coming from Osip wanna know'

'over there'

 

[hybridsoldier23]

After tonight's episode I'm convinced that "Birdman" is the brother of the secretary sister and his identity is the set photographer from the third episode.

He had access to the car that carried Casper's body. He mentions that the movie he's working on is some "end of civilization revenge movie". Dude and his sister are out for revenge for the murder of their parents and possibly he's got some added fuel from these dudes running a train on his sister at the parties.

Not that he's got a house full of Oscars/Emmys, but this might be the best performance of Colin's career. This dude has just open doors for himself in Hollywood. Colin is currrrushing it.

Knew that punk *** lieutenant was an *******. RIP Woodrugh

God dang, man. Is the entire State corrupt?! Ray and Ani literally have nowhere to turn and nobody they can trust.

After tonight's episode I'm convinced that "Birdman" is the brother of the secretary sister and his identity is the set photographer from the third episode.

He had access to the car that carried Casper's body. He mentions that the movie he's working on is some "end of civilization revenge movie". Dude and his sister are out for revenge for the murder of their parents and possibly he's got some added fuel from these dudes running a train on his sister at the parties.

Here's a season recap so far for those that might be confused of the various plotlines:

• 1992 – Casper was an accountant for the police and during riots he arranged a robbery of a jewelry store of valuable blue diamonds that resulted in the two children of the store owners being orphaned and forced to watch their parents die.

• Present day, the city of Vinci is building a railway and land/businesses are for sale surrounding it.

• In the city of Vinci there are a ton of authority figures working together behind the scenes controlling things and generally trying to make money on this railway deal. Their ranks include Vinci PD chief Holloway, Vinci PD Lieutenant Burris, the boss of a company called Catalyst, Mayor Chessani’s son, city planner Ben Casper, and Russian Mobsters. Another creepy guy in the city is a plastic surgeon named Pitlor, whom the mayor had treat his wife. The mayor’s wife then killed herself.

• Frank Semyon is a mobster who owns casinos and clubs. He and his wife Jordan are having trouble trying to conceive.

• Frank wanted to do a deal involving the new Vinci railway with Casper and the Russian mobsters in order to go clean and become a legitimate businessman.

• Paul Woodrough is a former marine and a CHIPs (California Highway Patrol) motorcycle officer. He is involved in a legal battle of defamation of character with an actress who asserts that he propositioned her for sex, which is unlikely because Paul is secretly gay.

• Antigone Bezzerides is a sheriffs’ office detective. Her sister is a webcam girl and her Dad is a spiritual advisor. Ani was molested as a child by a man from her father’s cult. In the past, Ani’s Dad was involved in a spiritual retreat with many of the important Vinci heads including Casper.

• Ray Velcoro is a detective for Vinci PD. His wife was sexually assaulted, calling into question the paternity of his son.

• Ray wants to know who the rapist is, so he goes to Frank to find out. Frank asks his number one guy Blake if he knows who did it.

• Blake runs into a meth addict and they have an altercation. Blake wants the meth addict killed so he tells Frank that the meth addict assaulted Ray’s wife. Frank, having trusted Blake, tells Ray that the meth addict sexually assaulted Ray’s wife. Ray murders the meth addict and thus becomes indebted to Frank because of the information and because Frank now knows that a police officer committed a murder. Ray then begins working for Frank, providing information and security at questionably legal residential properties.

• Frank has Ray beat up a reporter who is reporting on the railway deals

• Blake begins working with Lt. Burris, Chief Holloway, Mayor Chessani's son, and the Russians to screw Frank out of the deal and get rid of him.

• Frank gives the majority of his money to Casper to make his deal for the railway properties.

• Casper is then murdered by a man in a bird mask (the orphan brother from 1992 as revenge for his parents).

• Frank’s money is lost in the process.

• Paul gets into a fight with his girlfriend and on a night ride, finds Casper's body.

• The area in which Paul finds the body is an area that is in Ani Bezzerides' jurisdiction, so now Ani is brought in as the head detective on the case.

• Ani begins also looking for a missing girl.

• Ray was assigned by Vinci PD to look for Casper as a missing person and now that everyone finds out Casper has been murdered, Ray is kept on the case and also told to keep tabs on Bezzerides and Woodrough to make sure they don’t dig up too much dirt on the big names in Vinci.

• A fourth detective is on the case, named Dixon, who secretly knows about the diamonds and that the orphans are related somehow and is also taking blackmail photos of Paul.

• The head Russian mobster, Osip, tells Frank he won't do the deal now that Casper is dead.

• Ray, Ani, Paul visit the suspicious plastic surgeon, Pitlor.

• Frank’s man Stan is murdered similarly to Casper.

• Ray, Ani, Paul visit a movie set and meet two suspicious characters. 1.) a set photographer (Birdmask man and Orphan brother) and 2.) Casper’s assistant (Orphan sister)

• Ray explores a house that belonged to Casper and gets shot by the birdmask man (orphan brother) with non-lethal bullets.

• The protagonists are told that a Mexican criminal killed Casper. The evidence is that the criminal and his friends have property from Casper’s house. They have the property because Lt. Burris takes Casper’s property and pays one of the Mexican criminals’ female friends to pawn the stuff. 

• The police get a team together to go to raid the Mexican guys’ apartment, it turns out to be a drug lab, and a huge shoot-out erupts which results in tons of people being shot, including Dixon.

• The massive shoot-out between the police and the Mexicans was set up by the Mayor and Lt. Burris. They did this to close the Casper case and prevent the investigation from continuing and uncovering top-level Vinci corruption.

• 6 weeks later, Ani is dealing with a political battle of being accused of sexual harassment on the job, Paul is dealing with the legal battle with the actress, Ray’s wife wants a divorce and wants a paternity test.

• Lt. Burris evicts Ray.

• Davis, an internal affairs investigator, meets with Ray, Ani and Paul and asks them to freelance to find out who really killed Casper and to uncover the corruption

• Ray beats up the Plastic surgeon to get info about parties where they do the rail deals and have orgies with prostitutes.

• Ani, Ray and Paul discover a cabin in the woods where the prostitute parties probably used to happen and a shack further into the woods where one of the prostitutes was murdered.

• Ani goes to the party through her sister in order to lead Paul and Ray to place to investigate. 

• They find signed papers from all parties involved showing the railway deal but unfortunately it’s not enough to prove the illegal doings.

• During the party, Ani is given a drug and has a flashback of being molested as a kid so she freaks out and attacks an oil tycoon and kills a security guard while attempting to escape.

• On her way out of the party she finds the missing girl she had been assigned to find.

• Ray, Ani, Paul and the missing girl are seen escaping by the bad guys.

• Frank meets with Mexican criminals and wants to speak with the girl who pawned Casper’s goods. She is killed by the Mexicans after revealing that a white cop paid her to pawn the property.

• Frank meets with Blake and discovers that Blake killed Stan and have double-crossed Frank to the Russians. Blake informs Frank there will be a deal made between the Vinci heads and the Russans where a large amount of money will change hands.

• Blake informs Frank that all of his men are compromised except for one, Nails. Frank kills Blake for his treachery.

• The Vinci heads begin to retaliate against the protagonists for meddling with the party/stealing the papers.

• Retaliation #1 - Ani becomes a wanted person for the security guard’s murder. 

• The missing girl that Ani rescued reveals that she liked the prostitute lifestyle, and that her friend Tasha attemped to blackmail the vinci heads and therefore Tasha was murdered in the cabin in the woods.

• Retaliation #2 - Ray went to give documents from the party to Davis but she is shot dead with what Ray suspected to be a gun he had in his house so he becomes a suspect for her murder.

• Retaliation #3 - Paul begins receiving text messages of photos insinuating that he is being blackmailed for being gay. Because Paul is the only one of the three not currently wanted for murder, he is probably the only hope for Ani and Ray to clear their names.

• Frank begins to liquidate his assets to run away to Venezuela with his wife.

• Paul goes to meet with the blackmailer who turns out to be a previous male love interest. He leads Paul down into some tunnels where Vinci PD Chief Holloway reveals himself and asks Paul to turn on Ray and Ani.

• Ray and Ani make love.

• Frank meets with Osip who tells Frank that the casinos and clubs now belong to him.

• Paul ends up beating Holloway and then kills 4 henchmen including the love interest.

• Upon escaping from the tunnels, Paul is shot by Lt. Burris who was lying in wait.

• Frank starts destroying clubs because Osip now owns them and Frank is setting up to rob the Russians and the Vinci heads during a big money drop off to finalize the railway deal. Frank will probably have Nails at his side because he ordered two of everything in a supplies list, two AK-47s, etc.

 

[br0keballer]

There is a spoiler in those events, just a heads up

 

[mr marcus]

Episode had me all in my feels

 

[Magic33]

Frank and letting her see it to see if she's really down First episode that I liked Frank's character. Watching it burn

 

[superblytrife]

A few things that still have me scratching my head.....

-who was the hippie cat that kidnapped Ani and is he important to the story somehow?

-Ani's dad has always seemed shady--I wonder if he will have any further involvement in how the story unfolds? I'm guessing he was just a red herring.

-Frank's wife has always seemed suspect. I'd be surprised if she wasn't somehow involved in all this.

After letting last nights episode sink in, Paul's death really was some wack ****. I think we all saw it coming, but for buddy to be posted up in the corner at the exact exit that he took was way too convenient. Out of all the tunnel exits, how did he know it was gonna be that one? Weaksauce.

 

[b fresco]

Yaw do realize Vinci is SMALL (around 300 residents) and there probably aren't too many exits from those tunnels right?

Not to mention, it isn't absolutely clear if he kills the Chief (he's only shown gun butting him), so he easily could've radioed over to Burris in which direction Paul was headed. 

Let's not overthink this....
