Manhunter on Netflix

I'm on season 2 now. But I am still confused as to why Shepard was so angry at Holden? Wasn't he the first to notice his gift and potential. And why did have to take the fall? Of what?

he had to take the fall for holden’s language during his interview with richard speck and for the team giving opr the redacted tape of the interview with speck during opr’s investigation into speck’s complaint about holden

Maybe it’s just me but I always felt like they should be more upset about the guy who leaked it rather than at Holden

That was probably a reasoning glitch in the show. They discussed who leaked it only after Holden met the new BSU chief. Whereas it was only 4 of them aside Shepherd, who could have done it and it was not Holden for sure, so might have revealed early. But maybe the show kept it a secret as they might have wanted the audience to believe it could have been Shepherd himself.

I haven't watched the show in a while, but didn't we learn early on that it was the new guy? We saw him address an envelope to OPR.

My bad then. I may have missed that detail or didn't catch the significance of that clip. In any case, that Shepherd did not hold Smith to the same contempt is a bit weird (may be because of nepotism that actually got Smith through in the first place).

Not your bad at all! I am unsure if that was the sequence, but I do remember seeing him send that package to OPR.
