Episode 5

Cole found LeDoux on the street late at night, and the atmosphere of the negotiation between the two was tense and strange.Cole proposed a shocking deal: cocaine in exchange for meth.LeDoux looked at Cole, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said contemptuously: “You only have the devil in your heart.”This sentence made Cole fall into deep thought. Has he really been eroded by the darkness?Ledoux didn't give him any more time to think, turned around and left, disappearing into the night.

Martin drove closely following LeDoux, while Cole tied an innocent white man to the car.The two of them started a tracking and counter-tracking contest on the quiet road.Finally, at a remote corner by the river, LeDoux stopped the car.Martin and Cole quickly got out of the car and began to look around for signs of LeDoux.

With his keen intuition and rich experience, Cole led Martin through a series of defensive devices set up by Ledoux, and finally came to a seemingly ordinary house.The two lay down on the grass and carefully observed the condition of the house.However, there was no one in the house, as if Ledoux had noticed their arrival and fled the scene in advance.

Martin decided to enter the room to search, while Cole stayed outside to continue looking for clues.Soon after, Martin burst out of the room, clutching a man named Devore.However, DeVore is not the Ledo they are looking for. He has been mumbling: “The Black Star will rise.”This sentence made Martin feel inexplicably uneasy.

At this moment, Ledoux suddenly walked out of the container nearby.He and Cole confronted each other, and the atmosphere was tense.Ledoux ran away while Cole was not paying attention.Cole raised his gun and was about to shoot, but at this moment, LeDoux's body suddenly exploded, and blood splattered everywhere.Devore was also affected by the sudden explosion and died on the spot.After Cole confirmed that the two men were dead, he used a machine gun to shoot the surrounding grass in case there were other threats.

In another corner of the house, Cole and Martin found two terrified girls.They had similar death circumstances to Dora, the victim in the previous case, which made the two more determined to track down the truth.

After returning to the police station, Cole and Martin were hailed as heroes and received awards and praise.However, they did not relax.On the contrary, they have become more determined to find out the truth and bring the criminals to justice.

During these days, Cole and Martin's lives seemed peaceful and happy.Martin's family is also full of warmth and joy. Although his daughter Audrey is somewhat rebellious, he still tries his best to educate and guide her.However, the good times did not last long, and Audrey's behavior became more and more outrageous, and she was even caught by the police having sex with two boys in the car.Angry and disappointed, Martin decided to prosecute the two boys, but Audrey firmly opposed it and even lost her temper with Martin.

At the same time, Cole is also actively investigating Frances' case.He tried to expose Francis's crime through interrogation and investigation and find the truth about Dora's death.However, Francis insisted that he was insane at the time and was unwilling to admit his crime.Cole decided to use more radical methods to interrogate Francis. He brutally interrogated Francis in prison and even beat him.However, Francis remained stubborn and did not reveal any valuable clues.

Eventually, Cole and Martin discovered that Francis had cut his wrists and committed suicide.They rushed to the prison in Abbeville to view surveillance video and chat records, trying to find clues.However, everything seems so confusing, and the truth seems to be shrouded in a thick layer of fog.

In this battle between justice and evil, Cole and Martin made great efforts and sacrifices.Not only do they have to face brutal criminals and complicated cases, they also have to face their own inner struggles and contradictions.However, they always adhere to their beliefs and principles and work tirelessly for truth and justice.

In this contest, no one is the real winner.The deaths of LeDoux and Devore brought endless grief and pain to their families; Francis' suicide also shocked and regretted his family and friends; while Cole and Martin received praise and awards, but their hearts are full of exhaustion and helplessness.
