The rumors have turned out to be true, True Detective: Night Country does in fact contain a reference to Jodie Foster’s '90s horror classic The Silence of the Lambs, and it was so well hidden we almost missed it!
During the latest episode, simply titled Part 3, Officer Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) attempts to withdraw information from her lover Eddie (Joel Montgrand) about the missing scientist Oliver Tagaq, but in return Eddie wants to know more about her secretive upbringing. He uses the term “quid pro quo”, meaning a favor or advantage granted in return for something, an iconic phrase once said by Anthony Hopkins’ Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of The Lambs.
