True Detective delivered a string of bad news to Ray Velcoro as the HBO series skipped ahead on Sunday after last episode's bloody gun battle.

Ray, played by Colin Farrell, quit the Vinci Police Department and started working security at the Vinci Gardens Casino two months after the police shootout and hostage drama dubbed the Vince Massacre.

His hard knocks started coming early as his former boss Lieutenant Kevin Burris dropped by asking questions about his dead task force colleague Detective Teague Dixon.

Bad news: Ray Velcoro, played by Colin Farrell, received a string of bad news on Sunday's episode of True Detective

Burris also revealed that the Vinci row houses were reserved for municipal employees and gave Velcoro 60 days to move out.

Ray wasn't the only one recovering from the fallout of the Vinci Massacre as the episode titled Other Lives written by series creator Nic Pizzolatto showed the other detectives dealing with the repercussions also.

California Highway Patrol Officer Paul Woodrugh, played by Taylor Kitsch, faced blonde Hollywood actress Lacy Lindel, played by Ashley Hinshaw, who accused the officer of accepting sexual favors.

On a mission: Ray was tasked by Frank Semyon, played by Vince Vaughn, to follow his employee Blake

Deadly shootout: The episode picked up 66 days after the deadly shootout called the Vinci Massacre

Strained relations: Frank and his wife Jordan were on edge and arguing

'She's a f***ing liar,' Paul hissed at the lawyers who threatened to pursue a civil case.

Paul during a later visit with his mother Nancy Simpson (Lolita Davidovich) learned that she stole $20,000 that he brought back from Afghanistan.

'I bled for that,' he yelled while raising his shirt to expose his scarred torso.

New job: Ray quit the police force and started working security at the Vinci Gardens Casino

More bad news: Ray's former lieutenant gave him 60 days to move out of city housing

Venturay County Sheriff's Office Detective Antigone 'Ani' Bezzerides, portrayed by Rachel McAdams, found herself logging evidence in the property room after the fateful raid.

Ani during a meeting with Ray at a bar admitted that her hands shake since the shootout that she organized went awry and she's also been drinking more.

A state official then met with Ray, Ani and Paul and offered them a confidential investigation to find out who really tortured and killed Vinci City Manager Ben Caspere.

Tough guy: Frank was visited by some gangsters looking to secure a deal

Night work: Ray followed Blake around and learned he was involved in sex trafficking

Ray at first declined saying that he already had a job.

'Is that job going to get you your kid back?,' Ray was asked.

Ray quickly agreed and then asked why she had picked him after earlier distrusting him.

She revealed that the rumour that Ray had killed his estranged wife's rapist wasn't true, since the rapist recently had been caught and linked through DNA evidence.

'What?,' Ray gulped.

He then started freaking out as he realized that his mob boss Frank Semyon, played by Vince Vaughn, had fingered the wrong man for the crime.

Making the connection: Ani linked the case of a missing woman to the investigation into Ben Caspere's murder

Sex trafficking: Ray learned that Blake and the Russians were running a sex ring

Ray threw himself into the case as he went to interrogate Caspere's wacky psychiatrist Dr. Pitlor.

The gloves were on as Ray beat information out of him and learned that Caspere and Vinci Mayor Austin Chessani's son Tony organized sex parties and compiled blackmail information on guests.

Ani and Paul headed up north to Guerneville to follow a lead in the investigation of a missing woman and came across a shed.
