re: True Detective Season 2 Ep. 2: Night Finds You

The Mayor's son is involved in some fricked up shite, which overlaps with the Good People and VV's deceased business partner. VV exposed his vulnerability in that scene about taking $7M instead of $10M. He shouldn't have used CF to dig up whatever he was looking for in that house, but since his thugs aren't good evidence collectors then I suppose he had no choice, and no suspicion that someone above him on the food chain with interests in Vinci is trying to frick him. I'm guessing whatever the thing is they're about to uncover has to do with keeping the sweat shops open, along with some organized sex trafficking/slavery ring. CF was being played by both sides, the mayor's interests and VV's, but I don't think VV stood to gain anything from shooting his best option of finding out what happened to Caspere, but the mayor sounds like he would lose a substantial amount of leverage in Vinci if his dirty business is in jeopardy of exposure by CF investigating, so I say there's your culprit. The mayor needed to cover his tracks, and he probably knows CF is basically an informant for VV, so the most viable threat needed to be taken care of. Not to say the mayor shot CF, but it was most likely under his orders. I think The Good People cult is kind of an indirect link between the sweat shops, sex trafficking and whatever Caspera was into, which is probably why he had to go.Now that CF is "out of the way", Ani will probably have to use some old connections to dig up some old dirt from her past that will connect Caspere's death and whatever corruption is going on in Vinci City. Hopefully the next episode will give us more insight in the mayor's personal life a là his son's problems, and we'll be given more pieces to the puzzle.
