Previously on Dexter
- Clear! We have a heartbeat.
- [BEEPING]
- [DEXTER] I'll take it.
- [ABRAMS] Welcome back
to the land of the living, Mr. Morgan.
- Where's my son?
- Your son left town weeks ago.
My days of being a high school
dropout are officially over.
Thanks for pushing me to do this.
You're very push-able.
It's one of the many
things I like about you.
[LANCE] Yo, yo, yo.
Want a ride, big guy?
I wish I could. Those Ryan's wheels?
Yep. He got a honey on his arm
- and he's looking for you.
- Harrison.
- [SHAUNA] Ooh.
- Is she okay?
We just met at the bar.
She and I are gonna have some fun.
- [SHAUNA] Help.
- Are you okay?
[GRUNTING]
There's plenty more where she came from.
[YELLS]
Down in New York City, a man's
chopped-up body was found.
They found the body parts
cut up into nine pieces.
Nine pieces?
The city's only four hours away.
It's the perfect place to disappear.
[OLIVA] Officers Wallace
and Oliva. Homicide.
[CHARLEY] Fucking psycho.
- Invitation delivered.
- Dexter.
[DEXTER] Please let this
be another hallucination.
María told me that you were
the Bay Harbor Butcher.
Crazy, huh?
[WATER RUNNING]
He's still in the shower.
It's been 45 minutes.
[ANGEL] Fuck.
[LOW, TENSE MUSIC]
[DEXTER] My son.
I could cry.

Go talk to him.

[DEXTER] I can see he's okay.
- Dex.
- He's been going through a lot.
I'm sure the last thing he wants
is another of his dead
bodies showing up.
[SIGHS]
You're worried he's gonna reject you.
You need to set your
own feelings aside on this.
He needs your help.
I'm giving him what he needs
Someone checking up on him,
covering up any mistakes
he might've made.
It would be stupid
just to walk in on him

And anything that doesn't seem right.
But mostly
[SIGHS]
Blood.
♪♪♪
What?
Nothing. That's just it.
I'm seeing nothing.
If Harrison did a kill here,
he cleaned up well.
Still no blood.
That's interesting.
Shower curtain's been around a while,
but the plastic curtain liner is new.
[HARRY] Okay.
I'm thinking he used the plastic liner
to wrap the body.
And then replaced it with a new one.
[WHISPERS] He may be
following in my footsteps.
I'm not sure that's
something to be happy about.
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
[CLAUDETTE] We'll require
your assistance for the next few hours.
[STEFAN] You were here all day.
[CLAUDETTE] I am aware.
[STEFAN] Do you know, there
was another rideshare driver
killed yesterday.
Perhaps you could look into that.
That is not my case.
[STEFAN] I haven't got time for this.
I've got a big gala coming up.
[CLAUDETTE] I am well aware.
[STEFAN] Had to close off
this whole floor to guests.
No one wants to be reminded of a murder.
Murder is all I think about.
[OLIVA] We got new findings
from our medical examiner
we need to follow up on.
We'll be out of here as fast as we can.
Just let her do her thing.
Porcelain dust in the vic's hair.
Like from a lamp.
It was a flat object.
More like a toilet tank lid.
Notice how the bowl is
an English bisque color,
whereas the lid is alabaster.
It may have been used
as the murder weapon,
then subsequently replaced.
[DEXTER] Just what Harrison needs,
a good cop.
[OLIVA] And you already
noted that the shower liner
- had been replaced.
- It may have been used
- to carry the body away.
- Right.
And we found enough
Rohypnol in the victim's luggage
to put down an elephant.
How's it all fit together?
Maybe a date rape
situation that went sideways.
That may be a component.
But date rape victims
do not typically murder
their attackers, cut their
bodies into nine pieces,
and place them in garbage bags.
No, they do not.
[CLAUDETTE] On the other hand,
the medical examiner said
our victim was hit repeatedly
over the head, past the point of death.
Ergo, there is a "crime of
passion" element to this.
Doesn't sound like he's
following in your footsteps.
We luminoled this room and
found no bodily fluids at all.
Typical cleansing bleaches,
such as those utilized by this hotel,
would not hide blood.
[DEXTER] Only oxygen
bleach would do that.
Only oxygen bleach would do that.
Which suggests
that an individual with
some knowledge in forensics
cleaned this room in
an attempt to hide all evidence.
[DEXTER] Smart boy.
I want to luminol all
the bathrooms on this floor
to prove that, except for this one,
every bathroom shows
signs of bodily fluids.
[STEFAN SCOFFING] Your only evidence
is that the Empire is too clean?
Ha.
Good luck getting a warrant for that.
We will be coming back.
This room remains under
active investigation, yes?

- Hey.
- Hey.
Uh, I have a test tonight,
which means I could be
a little later than usual.
Um, and you,
young man, better be asleep
by the time I get home.
Harrison says rules
are meant to be broken.
[ELSA] Oh. [CHUCKLES] Does he, now?
Well, uh, not my rules, right, Harrison?
- Definitely not.
- Uh-huh. That's good to hear.
So, there's dinner on the stove.
- Sopa de lentejas.
- Deliciosa.
And if he has any problems
wheezing or breathing
or anything, just you know
how to use the nebulizer.
Is that getting better?
No. If anything, it's getting worse.
So just keep an eye on it.
Yeah. I got it.
All right. I'm out of here.
When you head back to the hotel,
I have Room 1210 for you.
- Thanks.
- Okay.
Buddy.
All right, buddy. It's time to read.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Did you bring Ninja Turtles?
Let's see.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
Boom.
[CHUCKLES]
Open it up.
If Harrison killed a rapist,
it's possible he's
developing his own code.
[HARRY] Yeah.
But bashing a guy in
the head over and over
even after he's dead
shouldn't fit anyone's code.
I made mistakes when I was his age.
Got caught up in the moment
and didn't always think ahead.
And who helped you gain control,
learn from your mistakes?
That was always you.
Yes. Your father.
And Harrison needs that
same guidance from his father.
He doesn't just think I'm dead.
He thinks he killed me.
Having me show up out of the blue
could seriously fuck up his head.
I don't know, Dex.
He's figuring this out on his own,
and he's doing a good job.
The fact that the police
are investigating this shows
he's made at least one mistake.
And that's why I'm here
to protect Harrison.
Cameras at the elevators.
Not really an issue for me.
It would be impossible for
Harrison to sneak the body out
of this hotel without
first cutting it up.
Where could he have done that?
[LOW, SOMBER MUSIC]
- [SOFT CHATTER]
- [CLANKING]
[DEXTER] Stainless steel counters.
Lots of plastic.
A limitless supply of garbage bags.
And razor-sharp knives.
This would work.

[TRAIN HORN BLOWS]
[ANGEL] So I'm at a loss here.
How is it that Dexter just disappeared?
Dexter?
Dexter Morgan.
You knew him as Jim Lindsay.
Yes, of course.
He left.
I don't know that he
technically disappeared.
Not in, like, a magical
sort of way, I mean.
You see,
Dexter Jim was a
very good friend of mine.
And I'm concerned about him.
The doc said he should've
stayed in the clinic
for at least another couple of weeks.
So I'm worried that maybe
his head is not exactly right.
He's been through an awful lot.
What can you tell me
to help me find him?
What was he like here?
Everyone liked Jim.
A nice man.
I don't know too many
personal details about him.
He liked tuna.
- Tuna?
- Yes.
Tuna melts, to be precise.
Doesn't it seem odd to you
that he left in such a hurry?
He was free to go.
- I sure feel bad for him.
- Why?
Oh.
He and Angela breaking
up the way they did.
And then Angela shooting him
and his nearly dying
out there in the snow.
Wherever he is
he must be miserable.
[PIANO PLAYING]
Mmm.
Hey. Could I get some
more of those sour pickles?
Do you know where he might've gone?
Did he travel much while he was here?
People move to Iron Lake 'cause
they like the peace and quiet.
How did he leave here?
He have a car?
He had a pickup truck.
Can you set it up that you get notified
if the truck shows up anywhere?
If it gets a ticket? It's sold?
You know, keep me informed.
I can do that. Sure.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[STAMMERS] Ah.
There's not much more I can do here.
I guess I'll fly home tomorrow.

[DEXTER] The perfect kill room.
Cleaned every night.
But was it cleaned to hide all traces
of a human body having
been butchered here?
If Harrison chopped up the body here,
he did a good job of cleaning up.
♪♪♪
But nobody's perfect.
Blood. Not animal blood.
All animals are exsanguinated
when they're killed.
That red liquid that spills out
of a juicy red steak isn't blood.
It's myoglobin.
[MUTTERS]
And as the good
detective pointed out
[GRUNTS]
standard cleansing bleach
won't hide blood from luminol.

Hey!
Hey, that's my truck.

[DEXTER] From the tiniest drop of blood,
I can determine how a man was killed.
But I can't make any sense of this.
Look, I know you
went to a lot of trouble

Uh
Sort of.
And now we are going to an impound lot.
[SCOFFS] They towed your car?
Yeah.
Sorry to hear that.
Not your fault. I didn't read the signs.
So unlike me.
You're new here?
Yeah. First time.
Just a visit or
Something more permanent?
Uh, I'm not sure.
Change is good. Yeah?
This is the greatest city in the world.
Do you have family here?
Yeah, I have a son.
But we have a complicated relationship.
Unless abandoning him,
leading him to believe you're dead,
and wrapping it all up by
having him shoot you in the chest
is normal where you come from.
I've been here over 30 years.
Came with my mother when
I was 13, from Sierra Leone.
And now, I have a wife and a daughter.
When's the last time you saw your son?
It was a little while ago.
- He looked good.
- Ah, nice.
Sorry I was a bit cautious
when I picked you up.
As you may know, we have a serial killer
who's taking out rideshare drivers.
- No, I didn't.
- It's been all over the news.
Ah, but, of course,
you just got here, huh?
He's killed seven people so far.
They call him the Dark Passenger.
- The what?
- The Dark Passenger.
[DEXTER] It never occurred to
me to trademark my alter ego.
[BLESSING] A scary name for a scary man.
He's killed seven people, you said?
He saws off their heads. Yeah.
Seems like the police don't have a clue.
Even so, I'd never
leave New York. Mm-mm.
After all,
many of us don't get murdered, you know?

Fucking Jim Lindsay.
Yo, Lance. You want to buy a truck?
Is this everything?
[STEFAN] Yes. This is all the footage
security found on Ryan Foster.
We luminoled every
bathroom on that floor.
Even though they'd all been
cleaned by housekeeping staff,
they still lit up like Christmas trees.
What fluids were found?
Uh, some had small amounts of blood.
- And?
- Pretty much what you'd expect.
Tell me.
[SIGHS] Uh, testing suggests urine,
some fecal matter,
the occasional trace of semen.
And?
What other bodily fluids are there?
Saliva, breast milk,
pus, vomit, sweat, bile,
lymph, earwax, mucus, phlegm,
vaginal lubrication,
synovial fluid from the joints,
cerebrospinal fluid,
and of course, extravascular fluid.
We didn't specifically
check for any of those.
The abundance of fluids
found in these rooms is normal,
but vastly different from the room
where the murder took place,
which showed no bodily fluids at all,
and that is far from normal.
- Still no reason
- This proves that someone took
extra care to clean
something in that bathroom,
and that something is
almost certainly blood.
Why do you have so many
blind spots in your cameras?
You don't have any in the hallways.
[STEFAN] Well, our guests deserve
a certain amount of privacy.
We only place cameras in
public spaces the lobby,
uh, public elevators,
the bar, the restaurant.

It was a white man.
About your age.
Your size. Your hair color.
[DEXTER] So I'm looking for
a white man who looks like me.
Thanks, Chike.
If you were a serial killer who
wore a hoodie, it could be you.
- [LAUGHING]
- I don't wear a hoodie.
I Can I show you the video?
- Video?
- [CHIKE] Uh, uh, yes.
My dash cam recorded it all.
Here. Here.
He gets into the car
and slides behind me.
He put something very
sharp around my neck.
- He has no face.
- It's a camera-shy hoodie.
A camera what?
The hood has infrared
lights aimed at the man's face.
Our eyes don't see them,
but if you point a camera at it,
it washes everything out.
[CHIKE] He tells me where to go,
and then starts asking me
who will miss me when I'm gone.
He was torturing you.
And this is where I get away.
The light is green,
but I slam on the brakes,
at the same time
I pull the release on my seat
to loosen the chain on my neck.
I slide under very fast,
but he still cuts my ear.
There are people around
wondering why I stopped.
Cars honking.
He gets nervous, grabs his
backpack, and runs away.
You were very smart and very brave.
I just didn't want to die.
We put out more food.
Come, eat.
[PHONE WHOOSHES]
[BLESSING] You must eat, too, Mama.
Remember what the doctor said.
You don't worry about me.
You shouldn't be staying in a motel.
It's a waste of money.
I haven't had time to find
anything more permanent.
I have a solution.
Joy has moved out and
we have a vacant apartment.
Ah, come on.
We can offer him a very fair price.
- Really?
- It's what friends do, huh?
That's very generous.
Friends also collect first
and last month's rent
and security deposit.
Of course.
- I got a new car.
- [CHUCKLES]
It's normal, I think.
Well, that's nice.
- You learn very quickly.
- [CHUCKLES]
[DEXTER] It's one knife
wrap short of a kill room.
[BLESSING] Sorry for the mess.
We are repainting.
Joy will pick up the table when she can.
Uh, she can leave that.
[BLESSING] Oh, she needs it.
She's doing acupuncture.
Right.
It's nothing fancy [GRUNTS]
but has everything you need.
Free utilities and Wi-Fi and
plenty of food and
company just upstairs.
It might work.
- Let me think about it.
- Of course. [CHUCKLES]
Look around. I'll be right out front.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[HARRY] He's nice. I like him.
You should take it.
[SIGHS]
It's a basement.
More private.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER, LAUGHTER UPSTAIRS]
Not with Blessing and
his family just above me.
[SIGHS]
Am I really moving to New York City?
Staying? Is that what this is all about?
Truth is, you could
go wherever you want.
You're a free man, son.
But you're also a father
with a son who needs you.
That's why you came here.
That's why you're staying.
If you want to get a driver's license,
or become a UrCar driver,
or do much of anything,
you need a permanent address.
- Blessing.
- Yes, my friend?
I'll take it.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
[DEXTER] Dexter Morgan.
I'm me again.
Thanks for the video, Chike.
There's a logo on the backpack.
Bridge Data
"Bridge Data Network."
"A leading provider of cybersecurity
for all your professional needs."
I can set it up so I can get notified
whenever someone from
there calls for a UrCar.
Do you think the Dark
Passenger works there?
He's not the Dark Passenger.
That's part of me.
I refuse to call him that.
Got to call him something.
The impostor.
He's been killing every
two to three weeks.
It gives me time to figure this out.
Looks like Ronald
Schmidt missed picture day.
[DEXTER] Ronald Schmidt.
Faceless Ronald Schmidt,
you have me curious.
Two Ronald Schmidts
in the state of New York.
One is
a resident of Holy Cross
Cemetery in Flatbush.
The other is
Three years old. Let's go wider.
Ronald Schmidt is a
tractor salesman in Topeka.
A roofing contractor in Atlanta.
Let's try Ron Schmidt.
Ronny Schmidt.
Nothing.
Ronald Schmidt of Bridge Data Network
has absolutely no online presence.
Impressive. He's a ghost.
What is it you're hiding, Ronald?
[TENSE, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[DEXTER] Cameras everywhere.
And 100 people with
hoodies just like our killer.
Could it be that easy?
Nope.
Never is.
- [ELSA] Hey.
- Hey.
- Guess what?
- [HARRISON] What?
- I aced that test.
- Fantastic. Good job.
I owe you for watching Dante.
We should get a drink.
- [CHUCKLES] I would love to.
- Great.

Hey, boss.

Thanks.

[DEXTER] Lisa and Andrew
are done for the day.
You seem calmer.
More relaxed than
you have in a long time.
Yeah, I am. I'm doing
something I know how to do,
something I'm good at.
What's the plan?
Your body isn't ready
for anything physical.
Just a preliminary vetting.
See if I can get eyes on Schmidt,
get a sense of who he is.
All the stuff I've done
a million times before.
Who is this?
Is this Ronald Schmidt?

His need is growing.

Yes, I am.

Sorry.

Shit.
[HARRY] What was that about?
You weren't gonna contact him.
Dad, we've already talked about this.
[HARRY] This isn't a lecture.
It's a question.
I ask you as my peer.
He was gonna kill that driver.
So you stepped in to save him?
Yes.
You know that's different, right?
From what you've done in the past.
Putting everything at risk to save
rather than to kill somebody.
Okay. Yeah.
I guess.
Since when do you
care about other people?
Since now.
[DEXTER] New York may be a big town,
but it's not big enough
for two Dark Passengers.
Ronald Schmidt,
my kill table is ready for you.
