Old dirty cop that was introduced earlier this season. On another note, this whole thing is convoluted as hell. The pieces dont so much fall together as they were melted down and poured into a mold. This is what we learned last night through all that forced exposition:
The whole thing really started back in 1992, when Dixon and Burris killed two people in a jewelry store robbery. Burris and Dixon got away with the blue diamonds from the jewelry store, though the jewelry store owners were killed, leaving their two kids orphaned (the kids were hiding at the time). Burris, Dixon — and their commanding officer at the time, Holloway — teamed up with the city accountant, Ben Caspere, and used those diamonds to work their way into Vinci’s government via the crooked Mayor Chessani. They were rewarded with six-figure salaries.
The existing plot hole here — or at least, a source of confusion — is why Caspere still had the diamonds in his safe deposit box if they supposedly gave them to Chessanni in exchange for jobs in Vinci?
The important thing here is that Caspere did still have the diamonds, which was the only piece of evidence remaining linking Dixon and Burris to the double homicides. Tascha — one of the prostitutes, and Caspere’s supposed girlfriend — knew about the diamonds and was going to use them to blackmail them. The blood of Tascha, in turn, ended up on the walls of that little shack out in the middle of nowhere.
