Rust and Marty continue their search for the man with the scarred face. Marty notices that in a crime scene photo, one of the houses had been recently painted - green, as in the green-eared monster. They locate the former owner who remembered having the house painted that year and thanks to tax records, learn that the company was owned by the Childress family. They visit the last registered business address and descend into a hellish labyrinth from which they will have to fight to survive. —garykmcd

The yellow king is in fact the effigy seen in the penultimate scene with Errol Childress, not Childress himself.

Goofs
The character of Mrs. Hill, when being interviewed at the "old folks home," is seen eating a "ricola" throat drop. When the scene cuts, she is seen eating a "Worther's Original" caramel candy.

A surprisingly lifting end to a deeply troubling story

Having watched this series with my heart in my throat from the beginning, the final episode has left me with a spiritual comfort that was sorely needed. I immensely enjoyed True Detective from start to finish. I would say that it's right up there with Game of Thrones in being one of my personal favourite shows, and all season long I had doubts that the last episode could bring it all together for me. But it did!

The performances by Woody and McConaughey were outstanding and George Remus from Boardwalk really pulled off the monster (no innuendo intended).

Whatever Nic Pizzolatto does next I'm sure I will enjoy.
