Batman Gambit: McBride knows that Vivian will eventually lead him to Dexter because she needs to a) get rid of the gangsters on her tail and b) go to him to get her cut, so his ruse as a criminal will lead him to the pearls. What McBride doesn’t realize is that Vivian knows he’s a detective from the start. | |
