Erm, Cohle stared at a fucking portal into Carcosa.
It's likely his imagination, but saying this isn't a supernatural element in the story seems weird.
Or maybe it's time for a rewatch 😁
I would say it starts out as The Equalizer, then turns into Nobody and then into John Wick.
Interesting thought. It would also explain why William was shocked/stunned at the sight of his "copy". Me may have realized the same thing: if it's impossible to clone humans, he must be a host all along.
However, it might also simply be, that it is just a physical clone (i.e. a host looking like William) with Dolores as "software". Since she can access all stored information about the guests (including William) she would still be able to "predict" him - and therefore also imitate him.
From what I understood he was driving with his wife and daughter. They stopped, the wife went to the toilet to look for something while the daughter faced off a dog which Ray fends off, the daughter falls. This part actually happened, although the movie sometimes hinted at this already being his imagination.
Anyway, now two strands unfold:
1. He imagines his daughter survived and the three rush to a hospital where their organs are about to be harvested. He saves them.
2. In reality the daughter died, his wife paniced and (apparently in shock) he pushed her away which lead to her death. Then he killed the guard and obducted a patient in the middle of a procedure.
How is his daughter dying and he killing his wife not related?
Well it was still done quite well, because IMHO the movie made you question if he made it ALL up. While in the end he only made part of it up. So he did have the family and the accident did happen. It was just far worse than he wanted to realize.
Probably this sums up the twist best: it was neither completely imagined nor completely real ... it was actually part of both.
Still, lots of victims there.
It got a bit too twisted for me as well. The movie felt like it tried hard to make you *think*, that he just makes stuff up, that it seemed more likely that the twist would be "nope, it's all real, it's a conspiracy". Maybe this even was intentional to put in another twist basically saying "nope sorry, fooled you again, it actually IS all in his head".
What I like though is, how bitter and dark the ending was that way. All the people he killed, including the poor dude on his backseat.
As if that would save it. The show started to bring down the story a few seasons before.
You are better off hoping that GRRM actually finished the books already and they are just held back for the sake of not interferring with the show. Ever reading the final books would be the only thing that could give us a proper ending.
Maybe (just maybe), that secret society is also comprised of super humans or at least has some at their disposal. So it's not impossible that this "guy" also was a bit stronger than it would seem.
What I have a problem with is, that all of this played in a small area. And yet Dunn's son didn't watch him getting drowned and tried to intervene? (Speaking of "not doing sh*t" Glass' mother also didn't come for his sons help and simply stood by.) I think that was the most unbelievable part of that whole scene(s) for me. There were people who cared and yet did do nothing. Conveniently, the camera usually only showed the dying/hurt hero/villain while the wide angle shots revealed that all other people would or should have been near by.
