What does the ending ofTo Catch a Killermean?
It’s notonething, but many things.
Instead, it’s about saving face.
The powers that be rewrite history and offer promotions in exchange for silence.
As such, the people who secure power are rarely the kind who wield it responsibly or efficiently.
“It’s a perpetual fight.
I can’t say we’re winning right now.”
These ideas dovetail with Dean’s disillusionment.
“I don’t know how to make money.
I don’t know how to win votes.
But who has the real power?
Life and death from a thousand feet away.
I might not find peace, but I can deliver retribution.”
