Saxon with the electric chair unless he confesses. Dexter later kills Saxon in full view of a security camera, but Batista accepts his claim of self-defense and lets him go. It is suggested that both Batista and Quinn know the truth, but turn a blind eye because they wanted to kill Saxon themselves. Batista is last seen receiving the news about Dexter's apparent death; unbeknownst to him, Dexter staged his death and is living under another identity. Dexter: New Blood In "Runaway", it is revealed that between the end of the original series and New Blood that Batista has been promoted to the Captain of Homicide of the Miami Metro Police Department. He attends a conference in New York City attended by Iron Lake Police Department Chief Angela Bishop (Julia Jones). Batista tells Angela about Dexter Morgan and his son, Harrison – unaware that Angela's boyfriend, "Jim Lindsay", is in fact Dexter living under another identity, and that she has met Harrison. Batista's story makes Angela suspicious, and ultimately leads to her discovering her boyfriend's true identity. In the series finale, "Sins of the Father", Batista is contacted by Bishop, who suspects Dexter of being the Bay Harbor Butcher, and sends him a picture of her and Morgan together dated a month prior. Batista realizes that Dexter is alive and heads to Iron Lake with LaGuerta's old files on the Butcher case. However, his arrival in the town is never shown, as the show ends before he gets there. Differences from the novels In the book series, Angel Batista habitually introduces himself as "no relation" (to Cuban former dictator Fulgencio Batista), and as a result is nicknamed "Angel-no-relation" by Dexter. He also plays a less prominent role in the novels than in the television series, and is a forensic scientist rather than a homicide detective.
