Someone mentioned last week the detectives thinking Rust was a suspect. There was more evidence in this episode such as asking Marty if he really wanted to keep the case or whether it was just Rust but I think there was even more that backed up my first thought.
The political pressure is going to cause the police Captain(?) and Marty, as lead detective, to pin this on someone Rust doesn't believe is the guy. That's why the 2012 detectives are interviewing Rust. They're interviewing Marty to corroborate parts of Rusts story and get info about Rust because 2012 Rust looks like a homeless guy who won't do the interview without beer and swigging out of a flask and he's already admitted he was hallucinating at the time of the investigation.
Hopefully, there is more to it cause that road feels like it leads to cliche-ville. Rust's suspect being high in the church or close to the governor, etc and they won't let him investigate the person. He drops from the force and years later finds some evidence that either ties to his suspect or proves the person convicted is innocent. When he takes it to Marty who is still in the force, he realizes Marty already knew. blah blah
The dialogue in this show is great. I loved when Rust drifted off early and then apologized. That's why I tend to drink alone. or at least one of the reasons. [Reply]

He isn't bad. I've probably just seen him in so many comedies that it's harder for me to watch him in a role like this. I'll keep watching though, because I think it will get better. I also like the idea of a new story and cast every season.
