- What the hell are you doing?
- A-Are you Dexter Morgan?
It's me. Harrison.
What happened to you?
Where have you been?
Bounced around a bunch
of shitty foster homes.
Uh, finally I decided to find you.
[HARRISON] I came here for answers.
Ask me whatever you want.
Why did you leave us?
I was born in blood, just like you.
I had the same violent urges
when I was your age.
Like you, I didn't know
how to deal with them.
But my dad taught me a Code.
A way to channel those urges.
I'm gonna tell you everything.
Do you use this when, you know
You know, you go after bad guys?
[DEXTER] No.
You ready?
[GASPING]
It's the end of the road, Kurt Caldwell.
- Why are you doing this?
- You fucking murdered women.
[KURT] They're just runaways.
You and your son, you're
some kind of vigilante team?
Like father, like son.
[GASPS, GRUNTS]
Turn around. On your knees.
Hands on your head.
What the hell is this about?
Dexter Morgan, you're under arrest.
[GRUNTING]
[DEXTER] Don't do that.
Shit.
[HARRISON] You don't really care
about saving anybody, do you?
You're just feeding
this-this "Dark Passenger."
You're just like me, buddy.
Open your eyes and
look at what you've done!
You have to take the safety off.
Deep breath.
- [GUNSHOT]
- [BODY THUDS]
- [DOCTOR] Talk to me.
- [DOCTOR 2] We have penetrating
thoracic trauma by gunshot,
catastrophic blood loss.
We're losing him. Defib on my count.
- Three, two, one. Clear!
- [WHIRRING]
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
[DOCTOR 2] No pulse. Recharging.
- Three, two, one. Clear!
- [WHIRRING]
- [ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
- We have a heartbeat.
[DEXTER] Ah, a beating heart.
I'll take it.

[MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY]
[ARTHUR] Hello, Dexter Morgan.
Am I dead?
Not yet.
But almost being killed
by someone you're fond of
has its own particular sting.
Eh, Dexter?
[BREATHING UNSTEADILY]
I told my son to shoot me.
He was following the Code.
[LAUGHING]
That's a pretty fucked-up
way to look at patricide.
Well, Harrison's lived
a pretty fucked-up life.
Thanks to you.
Wait, you're
You think Harrison's my fault?
That I'm the bad guy?
If you hadn't thought that
you could live the dream
your wife would still be alive.
- [BABY CRYING]
- And your son
wouldn't have been left to sit in a pool
of his own mother's blood.
Just like you were at the same age.
Maybe your precious son
wouldn't have become
a father killer like
[SCOFFS]
like me.
He is nothing like you!
Let me give you a little advice,
serial killer to serial killer.
Where you went wrong was
thinking you could have it all.
A family and your Dark Passenger.
The bullet to my chest did
a pretty good job of teaching me that.
Like our Savior,
sometimes you have to go through hell
to achieve resurrection.
Not that we're anything
like the good Lord.
You already know what you really are.
Who you really are.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
[ABRAMS] Patient is still unresponsive.
[PROLONGED BEEP]
[MIGUEL] Socio.
[DARK, CHILLING MUSIC]
Mi amigo.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
For a moment there, yeah, I was.
It was great to find
someone I could trust.
Yes.
It was something we both needed.
Rare for two grown men
to find that in each other.
Usually, the only time
I could be that open,
that real with someone,
was when I had them on my kill table.
When you killed other killers,
future innocent victims were saved.
There's a nobility in that.
But when you tried to be normal
people who didn't deserve it
found themselves equally as dead.

Yours is a lonely path, my friend.

[MONITORS BEEPING STEADILY]
Hello, son.
I've missed you, Dad.
I've missed you, too.
Did you come to say goodbye?
There's no clause in
the Code where it says
you can just give up and die.
I don't have much to live for.
You have a son.
A son who shot me.
I'm thinking he's better off without me.
You really believe that?
I wonder if the whole world
might've been better off
if you hadn't rescued me
from that shipping container.
[HARRY] I made a lot
of mistakes in my life.
But rescuing you was not one of them.
I can think of a few people
who might disagree.
A few murderers, you mean.
A few good people, too.
I was never there for Harrison.
And when he showed up in Iron Lake,
I tried to mold him into my image.
But I was wrong about him.
You sure about that?
He made it pretty clear out there
in the woods he's not like me.
He's just angry.
Not in spite of me. Because of me.
Your brother didn't have a father.
He didn't have a mother, either.
Because of you.
And Harrison lost his
mother because of you.
Dexter, your son needs you.
[FOOTSTEPS]
Hello? Is anyone there?
Surprise, motherfucker.
[SIGHS]
Isn't there some rule
about these things ending
after the third ghost?
You're not happy to see me, Morgan?
Fuck. Enough.
This is my mind.
Like it or not, Morgan,
this conversation needs to happen.
I already know what you're gonna say.
[IMITATING DOAKES]
I'm a creep motherfucker.
You were right about me all along.
No, I was wrong.
Buried down deep, real deep,
past all that fucked-up
Bay Harbor Butcher shit
is a kernel of good.
Good?
It's not a word I ever heard
you associate with me.
Well, hear it now.
And hold on to it for
the sake of your son.
Because he needs that part of you, too.
Go to him, Morgan.
Otherwise, you really are
just some creep motherfucker.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[DEXTER] Talk about a curtain call.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
Welcome back to the land
of the living, Mr. Morgan.
[WHISPERING] Is this real?
Oh, yeah.
You've been in a coma for ten weeks now.
- Ten weeks?
- Yeah.
- Can I ask you a question?
- Yeah, shoot.
Sorry.
Bad word choice.
Go for it.
How close was I to
Meeting your maker?
Yeah, well
You just about did.
Yeah, it was touch and
go there for a little bit,
but lucky for you, you got
shot in zero-degree weather.
The cold and the snow,
it slowed your heart rate.
Lessened the blood loss.
If it was summer, you'd be
deader than my last marriage.
But you pulled through.
I got to check on another patient.
Wait.
Where's my son? Is he okay?
Last we heard, your son
left town weeks ago.
Nobody's heard from him since.

You ever hear the phrase,
"Use it or lose it"?
Well, you didn't use it, so you lost it.
It's going to take time.
How much time?
Considering how long you were in a coma,
and your age,
be grateful that catheter
wasn't permanent.
I am.
Seriously, though, you must've been
in really good shape before
The incident.
Yeah. I used to chase deer
[MONITOR BEEPING SLOWLY]
through the snow.
[GENESEE] You know Norm Blacksnake?
[DEXTER] Yeah, he used to crawl down
from his mountain shack
to my shop every year.
Drove himself here

No friends, no family.

Hey there.
How you feeling?
Been better.
[HANDCUFFS RATTLING]
[DEXTER] Those cuffs for me?
It's from Angela.
She left town with Audrey
after, you know everything.
Which makes me
acting sheriff of Iron Lake.
Angela was so sorry about
mistakenly arresting you
for the murder of Matt Caldwell.
Obviously, it turned out his dad
Well, you know.
Mm-hmm.
She was even more
sorry about shooting you.
When she found that
bullet hole in your cell,
which proved that Logan had shot at you
and you were just defending yourself,
she felt like shit.
[SIGHS]
Look, all pleasantries aside,
I have to fulfill my duties
as acting sheriff of Iron Lake.
[EXHALES SLOWLY]
We don't have a lot of resources,
but I have to enforce justice.
That's the job.
So
Do you want to press charges

No.
No, that's okay.
It was a misunderstanding.
I'd prefer to just put it behind me.

A bag ripped, and two pieces of a leg,
a human leg, came out.
Do you know where this trash came from?
Um, y-yes?
Why are you saying

Because he's not sure.
Then just say no.
The truck the garbage came
from has hundreds of stops.
Thousands of bags.
I-I guess that's why
Tell him to stop.
Where is the rest of the body?

I know what you mean.
It's been a while, huh?
Mm.
I'm thinking you could use something
other than hospital food.
Thanks.
I don't know what
Jim Lindsay likes to eat,
but my old pal Dexter Morgan,
he loved himself a Cubano.
Little taste of home.
Oh, man. Mmm.
I missed these.
Imagine my surprise
when Chief Bishop
called me out of nowhere
and told me that you were alive.
Must've been a big one.
I got to know.
Why'd you disappear for all these years?
I was pretty wrecked, you know?
With Deb and all.
What did you do with Deb?
The last glimpse I had of you
was security footage
of you wheeling her out of the hospital.
When that hurricane hit
Deb gone like she was
[DEXTER SIGHS]
I don't know, it made sense then.
And I took her with me on the boat.
I just had to get away.
I drove straight into the storm.
And the boat capsized and, um
I lost her.
And I lost my way, I guess.
After Rita and Deb,
I couldn't stay in Miami.
And
somehow I ended up here.
But why Jim Lindsay?
Faking your death?
I don't know, I needed a new start.
My life had become such hell.
[SIGHS] I know it doesn't
make a lot of sense.
But grief
does something to you.
Tell me about it.
I lost you, too, hermano.
Hell, I even spoke at your memorial.
Thank you.
I thought about reaching out,
but I just couldn't
reopen that door.
It's open now.
Yeah.
But I'm still a little confused.
[DEXTER] Here we go.
And I get this call from
the chief of police here.
Who I guess was your girlfriend.
And she said the craziest thing.
She intimated that you
were the Bay Harbor Butcher.
[QUIET, TENSE MUSIC]
What the fuck?
Angela and I always had a
volatile relationship, but wow,
she must've been really pissed
at me when she called you.
- Crazy.
- Oh, it gets crazier.
I hop on a plane,
arrive to find that
your girlfriend shot you.
And when I talk with
her the very next day,
after her calling me
with that accusation,
she's backtracked on everything.
"Made a mistake," she says.
Hell of a mistake,
shooting your boyfriend 'cause
you think he's a serial killer.
[SIGHS]
It's just this one thing
I can't seem to let go of.
María LaGuerta. You remember María.
Of course I do.
María told me, in confidence,
that she was certain
that you were the Bay Harbor Butcher.
Crazy, huh?
Insane.
But then María was killed.
By some old cartel shithead.
[DEXTER] Or Deb.
It was tough times.
Fuckin' A, it was tough.
But we all know that
the Bay Harbor Butcher
was Doakes, right?
What was it he used to call you?
He called me a lot of things.
You fucking weirdo. Fucking creep job.
Fucking freak-tard. Psycho.
Jesus fucking Christ,
you're the Bay Harbor Butcher.
He liked "creep motherfucker."
[CHUCKLING]
Doakes always had a way with words.
[GROANS]
- You okay?
- Yeah.
It's been fun traveling down
memory lane with you, buddy.
But I could use some rest, I think.
Ah.
I'll be back tomorrow.
We can catch up some more.
Can't wait.
Oh, yeah.
I almost forgot.
I got some good news.
Lay it on me.
You're officially alive.
After your shipwreck,
I was the one that filled out
your death certificate.
When I heard you were alive,
thought it fitting that Dexter Morgan
be legally resurrected.
Now you can vote,
renew your license, you know
Be a regular Joe.
That's very thoughtful of you.
Rest.
[DEXTER] Or is it because
you can't prosecute a dead man?
[ABRAMS] Thanks, I appreciate that.
Dr. Abrams?
Thanks for reaching out about Dexter.
Yeah, well, it's good for
patients to have friends around.
How long do you think
he'll have to stay?
Uh, he's amazingly resilient.
But he did take a catastrophic
gunshot to the chest,
so he'll be around for a
couple more weeks at least.
Great.
What time are visiting hours tomorrow?
Eleven to four.
I'll see you at eleven, Doc.

Don't blame you for being stressed.
I mean, your friend Kurt Caldwell
turned out to be a serial killer.
You got shot.
Crazy world out there.
Yep.
The hits just keep on coming.
I heard something horrible on the news.
A man's chopped-up body was found.
[GROANS] Gives me the heebies.
Where was this?
Down in New York City.
They found the body parts
cut up into nine pieces.
Can you imagine?
Nine pieces?
Mm-hmm.
Living on the Rez can be shitty, but
I'd take it over a big city
with crazy white men
running around chopping up bodies.
No offense.
Serial killers always
seem to be white men.
Just a fact.
No offense taken.
Guess I shouldn't talk
bad about big cities.
I mean, Kurt Caldwell was right here
in Iron Lake, taking our girls.
[DEXTER] And it was when I killed Kurt
I taught Harrison how to cut up
a body into nine pieces.
Could it be?
I'm feeling kind of beat.
Think I pushed too hard.
Can we, uh, call it for today?
Uh, sure. Yeah.
[DEXTER] Separated into nine parts.
Just like I would do.
And the victim?
A repeat sexual predator
who slipped through the cracks.
[HARRY] Fits the Code, huh, Dexter?
You think Harrison's
following in your footsteps?
I mean, body chopped in nine parts,
stuffed in garbage bags, and
the victim being what he was?

The city's only four hours away.
Easy drive for Harrison.
It's the perfect place to disappear.

But where is his watch?
[DEXTER] Never in my life
have I worked so hard
to get so nowhere so fast.
[BEEPING]
Uh-uh-uh.
- [TREADMILL BEEPS]
- You did enough for today.
Remember, you have time.
[DEXTER] Thinking I was dead made me
keenly aware of how
limited my time really is.
I just want to recover
enough so I can
Find my son, make sure he's okay.
- We'll get you there.
- [GRUNTS]
It's lunchtime. Think you can
make it back to your room?
For hospital food, you bet.
[SIGHS]
[UNSETTLING MUSIC]
Dexter?
[DEXTER] Please let this
be another hallucination.
And nope.
Wow.
It's like seeing a ghost.
I know what you mean.
It's been a while, huh?
Mm.
I'm thinking you could use something
other than hospital food.
Thanks.
I don't know what
Jim Lindsay likes to eat,
but my old pal Dexter Morgan,
he loved himself a Cubano.
Little taste of home.
Oh, man. Mmm.
I missed these.
Imagine my surprise
when Chief Bishop
called me out of nowhere
and told me that you were alive.
Must've been a big one.
I got to know.
Why'd you disappear for all these years?
I was pretty wrecked, you know?
With Deb and all.
What did you do with Deb?
The last glimpse I had of you
was security footage
of you wheeling her out of the hospital.
When that hurricane hit
Deb gone like she was
[DEXTER SIGHS]
I don't know, it made sense then.
And I took her with me on the boat.
I just had to get away.
I drove straight into the storm.
And the boat capsized and, um
I lost her.
And I lost my way, I guess.
After Rita and Deb,
I couldn't stay in Miami.
And
somehow I ended up here.
But why Jim Lindsay?
Faking your death?
I don't know, I needed a new start.
My life had become such hell.
[SIGHS] I know it doesn't
make a lot of sense.
But grief
does something to you.
Tell me about it.
I lost you, too, hermano.
Hell, I even spoke at your memorial.
Thank you.
I thought about reaching out,
but I just couldn't
reopen that door.
It's open now.
Yeah.
But I'm still a little confused.
[DEXTER] Here we go.
And I get this call from
the chief of police here.
Who I guess was your girlfriend.
And she said the craziest thing.
She intimated that you
were the Bay Harbor Butcher.
[QUIET, TENSE MUSIC]
What the fuck?
Angela and I always had a
volatile relationship, but wow,
she must've been really pissed
at me when she called you.
- Crazy.
- Oh, it gets crazier.
I hop on a plane,
arrive to find that
your girlfriend shot you.
And when I talk with
her the very next day,
after her calling me
with that accusation,
she's backtracked on everything.
"Made a mistake," she says.
Hell of a mistake,
shooting your boyfriend 'cause
you think he's a serial killer.
[SIGHS]
It's just this one thing
I can't seem to let go of.
María LaGuerta. You remember María.
Of course I do.
María told me, in confidence,
that she was certain
that you were the Bay Harbor Butcher.
Crazy, huh?
Insane.
But then María was killed.
By some old cartel shithead.
[DEXTER] Or Deb.
It was tough times.
Fuckin' A, it was tough.
But we all know that
the Bay Harbor Butcher
was Doakes, right?
What was it he used to call you?
He called me a lot of things.
You fucking weirdo. Fucking creep job.
Fucking freak-tard. Psycho.
Jesus fucking Christ,
you're the Bay Harbor Butcher.
He liked "creep motherfucker."
[CHUCKLING]
Doakes always had a way with words.
[GROANS]
- You okay?
- Yeah.
It's been fun traveling down
memory lane with you, buddy.
But I could use some rest, I think.
Ah.
I'll be back tomorrow.
We can catch up some more.
Can't wait.
Oh, yeah.
I almost forgot.
I got some good news.
Lay it on me.
You're officially alive.
After your shipwreck,
I was the one that filled out
your death certificate.
When I heard you were alive,
thought it fitting that Dexter Morgan
be legally resurrected.
Now you can vote,
renew your license, you know
Be a regular Joe.
That's very thoughtful of you.
Rest.
[DEXTER] Or is it because
you can't prosecute a dead man?
[ABRAMS] Thanks, I appreciate that.
Dr. Abrams?
Thanks for reaching out about Dexter.
Yeah, well, it's good for
patients to have friends around.
How long do you think
he'll have to stay?
Uh, he's amazingly resilient.
But he did take a catastrophic
gunshot to the chest,
so he'll be around for a
couple more weeks at least.
Great.
What time are visiting hours tomorrow?
Eleven to four.
I'll see you at eleven, Doc.
All right.

I want a comprehensive

of this entire space.
Okay.

Who's that?
[STEFAN] His name is
Morgan, Harrison Morgan.

[ABRAMS] Genesee, please assist in here.
[PROLONGED BEEP]
[DEXTER] Not exactly the kind of sound
you want to hear when
you're in a hospital bed.
[HARRY] You don't have
to die alone, you know.
You still have Harrison.
I know.
Time of death?
[GENESEE] 5:13 a.m.
[SIGHS]
Relax into it. You're too tense.
Sorry, I'm just not
used to being on a table.
Uh, with someone over me.
Don't blame you for being stressed.
I mean, your friend Kurt Caldwell
turned out to be a serial killer.
You got shot.
Crazy world out there.
Yep.
The hits just keep on coming.
I heard something horrible on the news.
A man's chopped-up body was found.
[GROANS] Gives me the heebies.
Where was this?
Down in New York City.
They found the body parts
cut up into nine pieces.
Can you imagine?
Nine pieces?
Mm-hmm.
Living on the Rez can be shitty, but
I'd take it over a big city
with crazy white men
running around chopping up bodies.
No offense.
Serial killers always
seem to be white men.
Just a fact.
No offense taken.
Guess I shouldn't talk
bad about big cities.
I mean, Kurt Caldwell was right here
in Iron Lake, taking our girls.
[DEXTER] And it was when I killed Kurt
I taught Harrison how to cut up
a body into nine pieces.
Could it be?
I'm feeling kind of beat.
Think I pushed too hard.
Can we, uh, call it for today?
Uh, sure. Yeah.
[DEXTER] Separated into nine parts.
Just like I would do.
And the victim?
A repeat sexual predator
who slipped through the cracks.
[HARRY] Fits the Code, huh, Dexter?
You think Harrison's
following in your footsteps?
I mean, body chopped in nine parts,
stuffed in garbage bags, and
the victim being what he was?
[INHALES DEEPLY]
The city's only four hours away.
Easy drive for Harrison.
It's the perfect place to disappear.
And if it is Harrison,
he could be in real trouble.
The NYPD is no joke.
If they've already discovered
the body, there's no telling
what other mistakes
Harrison might've made.
I'll start at the hotel Ryan
never checked out of.
[SIGHS] Where are my boots?
Batista's gonna be here soon.
[DEXTER] Harrison took my truck.
I need a car.
[CONTEMPLATIVE MUSIC]
[ANGEL] I'm a little early.
Any chance I could see my friend?
No.
But you can wait for him right there.
[DEXTER] With friends like him
