The Shield, Season 1, Episode 5: Blowback.

Carnivale - Season 2, Episode 1 - Los Moscos. Wilford introduces himself, and as he moves to shake hands, we see a wee penknife concealed (sort of) in his hand. When Justin reaches his hand out, Wilford grabs it and slices Justin’s palm. No blue goo; just the usual red stuff. Justin yells and pulls away. Wilford manages a frightened “I must have been mistak—” before Justin grabs him by the lapels and hurls him into Spooky-tree-land, complete with orange sky and Nirvana lighting. Wilford looks understandably surprised as a black-eyed Justin hisses, “No, you’re not.” Heh. Wilford burbles, “You bleed like a man — he’s still alive!” Justin asks who’s still alive, and Wilford recites, “By the hand of the prince the prophet dies. Upon his death the prince shall rise.” Prince of Swords, I assume. Justin — who probably prefers ribald limericks to rhyming couplets — does an exasperated head-shake and roars, “Stop babbling and tell me who!” But Wilford just annotates himself, citing the Gospel of Matthias. (Chapter 3, verses 26-28, if you want to read along in your nonexistent home copy.) Wilford tells Justin, “You have to kill him with your own hands.” Who? Guess. “Scudder.” Justin asks what happens then, and Wilford says, “You’ll be the prophet. The Usher.” Justin smiles briefly at the idea of getting a boutonniere and showing everyone to their seats, and then hurls Wilford back into KZAK’s lobby. Justin repeats, “Henry Scudder,” and Wilford scrambles across the floor, reaches into his bag, and pulls out a copy of the Gospel of Matthias http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/carnivale/los_moscos.php?page=9
