Mr. Franco not gonna lie when I first watched the show he creeped me out and I wasn’t sure why I looked up the actor he was in the 📺 version of Hannibal and I thought it’s probably him he’s always playing creepy people 🤣
He didn't say "who walks that slow" he just said "walks that fuckin slow." The Word 'he' was implied before the sentence. Like the way "the fuck you doing?" implies the word "what" before the sentence begins.
I mean Ledoux was one of them. Like Rust later says, their only fuck up and the only thing they “missed” was interviewing Ledoux, because Marty killed him. Had he not, they would’ve got the other guy from him
Assuming he'd talk. But as we seen with Guy Francis (guy who mentions yellow king and kills himself in cell) sheriff childress or another "acolyte" might have silenced Reggie if he did snitch But reggie seems like the kind of guy who could do the time and doesn't scare easy
This is a great scene. I remember watching HBO as these were coming out and I was scrutinizing every character to determine if they were involved...and this guy set off no alarm bells. They played him perfectly. He looks exactly like the kind of guy who does those jobs, his answers all make perfect sense, highly intuitive Rust suspects nothing about him, no lingering back camera shot on him, he calmly goes back to mowing in the background as we get the "hot lead" information in the car, he's not a well recognized actor. Good villain reveal without spoiling anything.
Yep, exactly. This guy set off no alarm bells for me either when I first watched the episode...never gave him another thought after this scene. If the director had done something stupid like cut back to his face as he watched them drive away, it would have given the entire plot away. It was done masterfully and he blended into the background cast like the dozen other times they casually interviewed side characters.
1:14 ish. When Marty horns in the car, you can see the guys face turn and you see he has scars for like a split second. That made me suspicious of him from the get go.

A few weeks ago I shook hands with a murderer in a bar. Not even his roommates knew, they learned it two days later when the police came to their appartment and arrested him. Funny ol' life.
One thing was clever about the way this scene went down, aside from the dialogue most of it was focused on the detectives and the fact Woody's character wanted to leave they made sure that the 'Lawnmower man' wasn't the focus. Like when Rust is walking back, they don't pan back to the Lawnmower man, which in turn doesn't make the audience suspicious of the character.
Hell, I was STILL suspicious of the character. But then I got drawn off by the next episode just like everyone else. You definitely can't over-foreshadow a twist these days.
only thing that had me guessing was the actor playing him, recognised him from boardwalk empire and knew that guy wasn't going to play a small character, but I still forgot about him and was shocked when he was eventually brought back and given that little scene with the other detectives.
You're correct sir. If this was some hollywood cliche film making, they'd pan that shot back on him, and give it a music cue, which will tell the audience something was off about him.
Late af reply, but another thing that didn't make it obvious is that the two interview *dozens* of people throughout the series. A large portion of the investigation consists of questioning the people that they run into when chasing the clues. Rust's interview of Childress doesn't stand out at all when compared to all the other interviews he conducted over the series.

"My family's been here a long...long time." My favorite line in the series. Incredible delivery, sent chills up my spine. Just finished the series yesterday.
I like how Marty basically screws up Cole's investigation twice...this scene and the scene where he shoots Reggie in the face without even asking him if there was someone else involved with the killings
Yeah but Marty was a basic bitch. The only thing he really contributed was that the green ears came from painting a house. Rustin was the TRUE DETECTIVE
There is also a nice shot around 2:06 when they leave the area. The scene is divided by the wood electric pole one side showing the police and the other side showing the bad guy going in different directions. I think it is a subtle foreshadowing for how close they are yet how far they still need to go.
I actually did, first time seeing him. Told my dad as soon as the episode ended, I have a feeling he’s the killer. Only because… I know if I was writing this series, that would be the killer. There is ALWAYS a purpose to a scene and its characters, so it seemed strange when introducing this man and nothing but just simple dialogue came of it. All of the meatsacks we were introduced to, each of them had individually gone out of their way to speak, to announce their presence to the room/audience. But the lawn mower man was quiet. And you can brush it off with him being “slow”, but it was just… off. Something I felt in my body about the way he spoke.
@@JohnNouzen Why doesn’t he have scars here? He was hyped up at the “man with scars” throughout the entire series …. Very anticlimactic with the scars ….
1:16 Right there ... you can just barely see the scars. Had Rust been at a slightly different angle, had he stayed with him just a short bit longer, he would have seen the fucker.
It was very brave for the filmmaker to put the murderer this early in. They knew the viewer was already invested in the conspiracy theory and used every trick to make him seem like a bit player.
No it wasn’t. Why doesn’t he have scars here? He was hyped up at the “man with scars” throughout the entire series …. Very anticlimactic with the scars ….
I think it's funny how many people seem to have misunderstood this show. Errol is not the Yellow King regardless of that sign. The Yellow King is a diety the cult worships. It's represented by that Alter in Carcosa the same way a cross represents God and his presence on Earth. Errol was simply born into and abused by the cult and eventually in 1995 when most of the cult members have already achieved a position of power in the community and disbanded, Errol goes out and starts killing girls on his own. Or more or less on his own, he gets help from the Ledouxs but none of those killings Rust and Marty find are cult related. All of those killings were buried in the yard. Point is, Errol is a serial killer and spagetti monster. He is not the Yellow King. Nor is Audrey Hart. That's confirmed by the creator/only writer as well as the director.
Another sign that Erroll was the Yellow King was that he accompanied Dorah to church several times. Charlie Lange said Dorah told him "she met a King."
before you comment again, try reading the interviews sole writer/creator Nic Pizzolotto has given, like to Hitflix and EW. This is not conjecture. This is fact from the man who wrote the show and not a fan who misunderstands something.
And just a little common sense here now, the cult existed well before Errol. It dates back to at least Sam Tuttle as far as we know. How can he be the King if he was born into the already existing cult as a product of incest? His dad beat and scarred him. You don't beat and scar your king. Plus Senator Tuttle is still alive and covering it all up. We know for a fact that Errol is related to him yet the news(FBI) denies it at the end, the coverup is ongoing.
The thing is, he THOUGHT he was the yellow king. All this stuff he said about his "ascension" and that his helpers where "witnesses to his journey". I believe some of the creators also implied it in an interview, he thought he was becoming the yellow king, and the others, like Reggie and Dewall in some way also thought that, that's why they cleaned up after him.

I just watched the entire season 1 of True Detective, just now. This show is absolutely amazing, Very well thought out and incredibly well written, all tbe cast were great esp. Mathew. After hearing Cohle said he saw Childress in Pelican back in 95, i had the sudden urge to rewatch it. I cant believe im finding out this series just now. Imma start watching S2 now, shit!
Everyone coming back for this scene to watch Errol and Rust not recognizing him but I'm here for Marty's line "who walks that fucking slow" lol cracks me up every time
Remember in episode one, towards the beginning, Rust mentions how sometimes one little detail in a case can come back full circle and break the whole thing open. Foreshadowing at its finest, because it goes completely unnoticed.
This is very well done... cause upon this first sighting, you wouldn't imagine he was the killer... They slip him in so casually and earlier, and then immediately redirect you as Marty get the tip making you think they are on the killers tail in a completely different direction
At 0:07 as Rust enters and at 2:04 when he leaves, you can see a Yellow lamp lit over his head in the middle of the day. A subtle hint on "lawnmower's" surroundings that I've noticed only after 3rd rewatch of True Detective :)
One thing I noticed after rewatching this scene is how the lawnmower man takes a bit too long to answer whether he "knew anyone that went here or worked here back then". Especially considering how he'd "only been coming here the past few months."
***** the actor who plays the gardner, is also a character on the show boardwalk empire named george remus, a powerful gangster. george remus always talks about himself in the 3rd person as if he isnt george remus. so he will say something like "remus says its really nice to meet you."
I remember watching this scene and thinking there was something wrong about this guy.. I expected Rust to notice something that would lead to a chase scene or something. Not to make it seem like "oh I knew all along", there was just something about the way the actor talked that made it seem like he wasn't just an extra.
I'm there with you on that.. something just seemed significant about it. The fact someone was tending to an abandon schools lawn seemed odd to me, and then when Russ was cut short, I grew further suspicious. When we see this character again, I remembered him and knew instantly he was the antagonist.
@@factsarefun2950 Yea i just finished the show, and looking back, this character definitely stuck with me at that momen.. They misdirected so well with the update over the radio about the named suspect and Marty hurrying Rust with the incessant horn. Very well played. But in the moment at the end of episode 7 when the pair of detectives ask for directions to a guy mowing another lawn, even without recognizing him from episode 3, I knew it had to be the same guy, i immediately got it. Expertly crafted 👌🏽
The show was based more on the ups and downs of the friendship and working relation between the lead characters and their personality than just finding the murderer....and that is the good thing...I liked that part the most in episode 3 in which Rust explains the foundation ideas of religion and how it affects psychologically.
I love how when they are driving away "the lawnmower" is going in the opposite direction but they are both in the shot, like if they were going to meet again (little crazy i know but i interpreted it that way)
Wait why didn’t they have him say some snarky line to the detectives? Why wasn’t there a dark sounding music cue when he was on screen? What, is this a show made for actual adults or something??
First seeing this scene, I knew something was off. A guy mowing a rundown school? That was weird to me. And the second the other detectives talked to him about finding the road, it clicked. Before he even mentioned his family
Rewatching what once felt like a victory of a scene now feels so tragic. They're literally speeding away from a perp while congratulating themselves. Expert filmmaking.
The moment they get the hint on Reggie Ledoux feels so triumphant the first time watching it. It really feels like the breakthrough we needed since we were stumbling through the dark for so long. The OST really shows here. Someone know the track when they call in the interstate APB?
I love how no piece of story in good movies/series is a blind alley, basically everything is there for some purpose and this scene was exactly that. Bright minds could have noticed he talked to this random guy for no reason way too long "wasting" a screen time hence the lawnmoving guy might actually be more important bit than it could seem. I did not notice.
Damn I wish I hadn't watched these scenes and spoiled the show before I actually watched the show, it would be the greatest thing ever to witness this for the first time
It completely caught me by suprise when the guy showed up again for the revelation, such a chilling scene! "My family`s been here for a long, long time". I think the guy had very little screentime though, I mean for being the main villain and all. The yellow king was in the end a crazy, inbred occultist who also happened to the serial killer they has been chasing all along.
he wasn't the yellow king the yellow king is still out there. He's probably not senator Tuttle but he's likely close to him like a brother or first cousin. Childress came from an illegitimate son. Which is most likely why they keep him on the old family estate away from everyone. He was still blood though that's why they would protect him and give him a living. Most likely they had a suspicion of what he was doing but they weren't going to say anything cause that would open a can of worms if he got caught.

Exact same here CE..I watched the whole dang thing in one Saturday---24 Degrees C outside.....Great series.
If only he had been given about another minute. Only takes him 2 min of talking to someone to know if they're guilty.
Marty stopped him by beeping, dammit.
In an interrogation. At this point even Rust did not have the slightest reason to consider him as a suspect.
Good call
But there was no reason to suspect a random lawn mower.
Everyone coming back for this scene to watch Errol and Rust not recognizing him but I'm here for Marty's line "who walks that fucking slow" lol cracks me up every time
I knew there was something up with that guy when I saw him. Mowing a lawn at a school that's shutdown seemed suspicious to me
+Sam Fisher true detective season 3 lead confirmed
congratulations sir
+Yeah Clowns who is it??
i just figgered since his relative was guvnour, that he was just getting handed the "contracts".
Just because the school is shut down doesn't mean that the Parish wants overgrown grass visible to the public.
bullshit
Remember in episode one, towards the beginning, Rust mentions how sometimes one little detail in a case can come back full circle and break the whole thing open. Foreshadowing at its finest, because it goes completely unnoticed.
This is very well done... cause upon this first sighting, you wouldn't imagine he was the killer... They slip him in so casually and earlier, and then immediately redirect you as Marty get the tip making you think they are on the killers tail in a completely different direction
It took me exactly three episodes to realize this show was a masterpiece.
Took me exactly 30 minutes of the first episode
0:21
"NOTICE KING"
What a great show! :)
my jaw dropped for 3 minutes like i'm a fucking idiot
+djmaneone :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
what does "king" refer to?
oh right Luke sol thanks!
what does that mean ??
When Woody mumbles “who walks that fucking slow”, gets me every time 😆😆
Loved this scene, as I did the whole season. Tremendous show overall. Perfectly executed.
At 0:07 as Rust enters and at 2:04 when he leaves, you can see a Yellow lamp lit over his head in the middle of the day. A subtle hint on "lawnmower's" surroundings that I've noticed only after 3rd rewatch of True Detective :)
So what does that lit lamp means here, i mean what does it tell us? I ain't getting it.
Amazing catch - they use yellow throughout the series to show that the detectives are getting closer but I never noticed it in this scene
In this show, mowing lawns is a metaphor for trying to bone. This guy mows school lawns, like a lot.
This show is a master piece and needs more recognition and credit i wish they produced this as the 3rd season
I remember watching this and thinking “I bet that lawnmower guy knows more than he’s letting on”
yeah when i first saw this the scene it kinda seemed unnecessary to me as well unless there was more to it
One thing I noticed after rewatching this scene is how the lawnmower man takes a bit too long to answer whether he "knew anyone that went here or worked here back then". Especially considering how he'd "only been coming here the past few months."
The first re-watch was just mind-blowing. 😍
Oh fuck. I didn't even remember this scene until now. Goddamn this show was good.
Reemus doesnt like his job.
hahaha oh shit, i knew he looked familiar. Was about to look up other things the actor has been in.
Omg man...you just solved something that's been bothering me like crazy. Thanks!
?
***** the actor who plays the gardner, is also a character on the show boardwalk empire named george remus, a powerful gangster.
george remus always talks about himself in the 3rd person as if he isnt george remus.
so he will say something like "remus says its really nice to meet you."
I have just rewatched this series for the 4th time... and still with the same pleasure !!! Two actors who are great in their roles !!
Don’t try to fall asleep while watching this series….you’ll be awake all night hooked on it.
Hart literally honks is horn and Cohle turns to look at him the exact same time the lawnmower man reveals his scar....
Been searching for that scene thank you!
No worries. Thanks for watching.
Love how earlier in the same episode they zoomed in on a bin full of lawn trimmings from harts house...
Wasn’t this the best TV ever?
Positron.
0:27 read " N O T I C E K I N G " on the mid left corner of the video. Great detail, I'm amazed.
"Who walks that fuckin slow."
That line made me laugh
I remember watching this scene and thinking there was something wrong about this guy.. I expected Rust to notice something that would lead to a chase scene or something. Not to make it seem like "oh I knew all along", there was just something about the way the actor talked that made it seem like he wasn't just an extra.
I'm there with you on that.. something just seemed significant about it. The fact someone was tending to an abandon schools lawn seemed odd to me, and then when Russ was cut short, I grew further suspicious. When we see this character again, I remembered him and knew instantly he was the antagonist.
@@factsarefun2950 Yea i just finished the show, and looking back, this character definitely stuck with me at that momen.. They misdirected so well with the update over the radio about the named suspect and Marty hurrying Rust with the incessant horn. Very well played. But in the moment at the end of episode 7 when the pair of detectives ask for directions to a guy mowing another lawn, even without recognizing him from episode 3, I knew it had to be the same guy, i immediately got it. Expertly crafted 👌🏽
That looks like one of the abandoned buildings in Fallout 3.
I love how he has a different accent in every scene. Fantastic character
"I gotta give you this one."
And they drive away from the real guy they've been looking.
Soft focus, beard and direction of the sun hiding his scars. can see spaghetti man. Genius cinematography.
The show was based more on the ups and downs of the friendship and working relation between the lead characters and their personality than just finding the murderer....and that is the good thing...I liked that part the most in episode 3 in which Rust explains the foundation ideas of religion and how it affects psychologically.
When Rust went to the school for the second time and found the ritual signs, I remembered and suspected this man.
Perfect scene, when Rust and Marty are in the car at the and, the camera shows two differents roads of the story separated by a utility pole
I love how when they are driving away "the lawnmower" is going in the opposite direction but they are both in the shot, like if they were going to meet again (little crazy i know but i interpreted it that way)
“Notice king” on the sign as rust walks over to the yellow king.
Wait why didn’t they have him say some snarky line to the detectives? Why wasn’t there a dark sounding music cue when he was on screen? What, is this a show made for actual adults or something??
@Arthur Morgan are you sped?
If you pause just before the first shot cuts, the pole separates the signs letters into “notice king”
The tragedy is if Rust kept talking to him another few minutes he might have clued in! 😄
i love how marty floors it at 2:06 and ruins the grass
First seeing this scene, I knew something was off. A guy mowing a rundown school? That was weird to me. And the second the other detectives talked to him about finding the road, it clicked. Before he even mentioned his family
Had to come back after season 3 finale to enjoy this masterpiece again
Rewatching what once felt like a victory of a scene now feels so tragic. They're literally speeding away from a perp while congratulating themselves. Expert filmmaking.
The moment they get the hint on Reggie Ledoux feels so triumphant the first time watching it. It really feels like the breakthrough we needed since we were stumbling through the dark for so long.
The OST really shows here. Someone know the track when they call in the interstate APB?
it'll be on the official soundtrack Burnett did, but good luck tracking that down lol, I don't think it ever got a proper release
Why doesn’t he have scars here? He was hyped up at the “man with scars” throughout the entire series …. Very anticlimactic with the scars ….
I love how no piece of story in good movies/series is a blind alley, basically everything is there for some purpose and this scene was exactly that. Bright minds could have noticed he talked to this random guy for no reason way too long "wasting" a screen time hence the lawnmoving guy might actually be more important bit than it could seem. I did not notice.
Ah, this is the scene I’ve been looking for.
Holy cow, is that Childress??!!
Yeah.
Adam Petruchio Yeah, right? I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't recognize the guy from episodes 7 and 8 as being this guy.
Adam Petruchio no its your mum dumb fuck
It's john candy you bellend
Didn’t expect this bloke at all…shows never get me like that anymore lol
0:28 " notice the king" in yellow
These two work so well together ;D
When we realized he was there the whole time.
what's disturbing to me is there are a few of these "lawnmower men" in every town.
Randall before working with joker as a clown lol
Omg this scene is just brilliant ! Watching again on tv now and I just wanna shout at the tv to tell them … that’s him !!!!!
Damn I wish I hadn't watched these scenes and spoiled the show before I actually watched the show, it would be the greatest thing ever to witness this for the first time
When you stop it at 28secs, It says Notice R King.
We have ourselves a true detective here. Nice spot.
Alex18ace what does that mean!
Before that it says "Close" then it pans to "Notice R King" then "Working"
What does it mean?
It completely caught me by suprise when the guy showed up again for the revelation, such a chilling scene! "My family`s been here for a long, long time". I think the guy had very little screentime though, I mean for being the main villain and all. The yellow king was in the end a crazy, inbred occultist who also happened to the serial killer they has been chasing all along.
he wasn't the yellow king the yellow king is still out there. He's probably not senator Tuttle but he's likely close to him like a brother or first cousin. Childress came from an illegitimate son. Which is most likely why they keep him on the old family estate away from everyone. He was still blood though that's why they would protect him and give him a living. Most likely they had a suspicion of what he was doing but they weren't going to say anything cause that would open a can of worms if he got caught.
Yeah I wanted to see more of errol.so creepy,would have made this show much better.
one of the best series i've watched for a long time
“Who walks that fucking slow?”
“My man, who interviews people that fucking fast?”
