Dexter: Resurrection (2025) s01e08 Episode Script

Previously on Dexter
- How's it feel?
- Better.
- Everything okay?
- [BLESSING] My mother
she's passed.
When I was a child,
I was a soldier. I didn't want to be.
We found black mold
in his bedroom closet.
The landlord's ignoring my calls.
She's late on her rent.
All she needs is for you to do your job.
I'll get to it when I get to it.
[DEXTER] You had an impulse,
you denied it. Take that Morgan
sense of justice,
find your own path.
[GIGI] Hello, future students,
I will be your tour
guide this afternoon.
- I'm Gigi.
- I'm Harrison.
[PRATER] Ronald Schmidt.
He prefers "Red."
I've been hosting this
gathering for years.
So, there are others?
- [PRATER] Lowell.
- Welcome to the freak show.
[SCREAMS]
- [PRATER] Mia.
- I just enjoy killing.
[GRUNTS]
[PRATER] Mia took her own life in jail.
- Gareth.
- I know your secret.
- You're a twin.
- [MUFFLED SHOUTING]
What the hell happened?
- He went after me.
- Doesn't make sense.
- [PRATER] Al.
- Hope you like my little movie,
- Mr. Prater.
- [WOMAN SCREAMING]
[DEXTER] The "charity
gala guy." Busy man.
I believe Harrison Morgan
killed Ryan Foster
- No, no, no!
- [SHOUTS]
[ANGEL] using methods taught to him
by his father, Dexter Morgan.
Stay away from me and my son.
You think I'm just gonna back off?
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
♪
For the official record,
this is Captain Angel Batista.
I am currently in New
York, collecting evidence
to prove that my former
colleague, Dexter Morgan,
is in fact
the Bay Harbor Butcher.
I've placed a tracer
in Mr. Morgan's vehicle,
and I will be logging
locations where Dexter spends
significant periods
of time. Dexter lives
in a basement apartment, 7701
Forest Avenue in Queens.
Dexter's son, Harrison Morgan,
works at the Empire Hotel.
Home, unknown.
Most days and evenings,
Dexter drives for a ridesharing service.
He often stops for up to 30 minutes
to pick up fares around
JFK, LaGuardia
and Grand Central Station.
Dexter is a man of routine.
He frequents
two different diners
and a Cuban joint.
The Cubano's decent,
but Well, anyway.
Mr. Morgan doesn't spend
too much time away from home,
except to do his rideshares.
By establishing his routine in the city,
I intend to note
any anomalies from his daily pattern
so I can be there when he strikes again.
Where are you now, Dexter Morgan?
[DEXTER] Tonight's the night
I could earn a couple of hundred bucks
driving people all over the city.
[CELL PHONE DINGS]
But I've got a deeper need to fill.
Lowell, Mia,
Gareth
and then there was Al.
You're losing all your friends.
They're not my friends.
Okay, you were right.
The lines got a little blurry.
You can't mix your killing
life with your personal life.
- Never ends well
- I've got it, Dad.
Almost done un-mixing.
- [CELL PHONE RINGING]
- [AL MUTTERING]
Where'd you go? There.
Oh. Hey, Red.
- Hey, Al.
- How you doing?
You know, I've been
meaning to check up on you.
- That was really something the other day.
- Yeah, it was a lot.
It would be good to talk it over
with a friend.
You want to grab a drink tonight?
Aw, pal, I would, but you know what?
I'm seeing Hamilton tonight.
And then after the show,
I'm just gonna head home.
- Home?
- Yeah,
back to Wisconsin for me.
The land o' the cheeseheads. [CHUCKLES]
I'm gonna drive through the night.
- But
- Yeah, I know,
it's a little earlier than
I had planned, but, to be honest,
these little gatherings
have lost their luster,
what with all the deaths.
Plus, the little lady's ovulating,
so we're gonna try for another.
[DEXTER] I can't let him get away,
not after seeing his home movie.
- Hamilton, huh?
- Yeah, wow.
Expensive ticket, but I
do love me a good musical.
How about we meet up after?
A coffee before the long drive?
I'm not gonna ruin my shot.
[AL] Well, let's see
I'll be hungry at the end of it
You know what? Yeah, let's do that.
There's a spot near all the theaters
that has a Cajun pasta to die for.
- I'll text it to you.
- Sounds great.
All right.
Cajun pasta.
- [CAR HORNS HONKING]
- [TRAFFIC RUMBLES]
[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE]
Look at this.
Unbelievable.
I thought what you did last year
couldn't be topped.
But you've done it.
This looks amazing.
Give yourself a round of applause.
Wheelchairs.
Excuse me, sir?
Got to remember,
this party is not about celebrities
or finance guys. Who
are we doing this for?
[STAFF MEMBER] NYPD officers who've been
injured in the line of duty.
Oh, gosh.
I am so sorry. I'm so
A ramp to the stage. Of
course. How could I
I can't believe my oversight I
Vivian. Viv. You've done great.
And you have until the weekend
to make it right. Can you do that?
Of course, sir. I'm on it.
Vivian?
How's your daughter?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
The specialist you sent
her to was a lifesaver.
She just got a clean bill of health.
Thank you so much. For everything.
It's my privilege.
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
What?
[CHARLEY] It's not just
that everything went sideways
when Red joined. I-I
don't have a good feeling.
Feeling? I'm [SCOFFS]
- I'm sorry, did you just say "feeling?"
- Let me finish.
I don't fucking care
about your feelings, Charley.
I saw Gareth attack Red, and so did you.
We should be thanking him,
not questioning his loyalty.
He's elusive, secretive
Okay. Okay.
What is this big theory, Charley?
That he infiltrated our group
the one we invited him to
murdered Lowell, got Mia arrested
and orchestrated the fight with Gareth
that nearly got him killed?
Is that your big theory?
I don't have a theory.
That's the problem.
I don't know enough about him.
I'm worried I might
have missed something.
You didn't know enough
about Gareth either,
that he thought he was
some kind of apex predator.
I don't buy it.
[CHUCKLES]
He was always off.
Yeah. He
The whole grandiose,
arrogant incel thing.
So, why this year?
There's no logic to a guy like Gareth.
See, you don't understand
these people like I do.
You say you have a feeling about Red?
Well, so do I.
I've gotten to know him and I trust him.
You need to trust me
and let me do my job.
I'm sorry, what what
is that again, exactly?
To keep you safe.
Then do your job.
[HARRISON] So, the outside of
the boat is called the hull.
It's everything from the deck
to the bottom of the boat.
The bottom of the boat
is called the keel.
It's-it's sort of like
the backbone of the boat.
- It gives it stability.
- [ELSA] No wonder
he always wants to spend
time with you, you spoil him.
[GRUNTS] Well, kids should be spoiled.
Thanks for watching him today.
Has there been any movement
on the landlord situation?
So, Vinny won't even
turn the heat back on,
so forget about the mold.
- God.
- I thought I could
wait him out, stay at the hotel,
withhold rent. But there's
The Empire's booked solid this weekend.
All those people
coming in for that Gala.
There's no rooms. I have no
idea where we're gonna stay.
Shit.
Oh, my You're gonna have to find
somewhere to stay, too.
No, I'm not worried about that, I
I ju I just feel really shitty.
It's just, the-the confrontation
with your landlord
I feel like it's my fault.
It is not your fault.
Stop that.
He wasn't gonna listen to anyone.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]
Where are we Oh, is that yours?
- Yeah.
- Way over there?
Pretty far-travelling boat.
- [DANTE] Yes.
- [ELSA] Yeah.

I will not be attending, thank you.
Chief's orders.
Leon Prater's donated
a Brinks truck full of money
to the force over the years,
and if he wants to parade
homicide on stage for a night,
that's what's gonna happen.
I am too busy for any of this.
Doing what, exactly?
Your left jacket sleeve
is slightly shorter
than your right.
Son of a bitch.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
3:05 p.m., just arrived.
49th and 6th. Midtown.
He's been here for over an hour.
There's a salon,
laundromat,
office buildings.
Where's Dexter's car?
Damn it.
What was Dexter doing here?
- Ow.
- [JOY] Shoot. Sorry.
You okay?
- Yeah.
- I'm off my game today.
It's been a week.
[DEXTER] Is this when
I'm supposed to ask
how she's doing since
her grandmother died?
I'm sure it's been tough
since your grandma
No, it's not even that.
My fiancé Sam he got
into Berkeley this week.
His dream business school.
Oh, congratulations.
Right? That would be
nice if my Dad said that.
- He didn't
- No. We came over to tell him
and my mom the good news,
and he was such an asshole.
Said the school was for leftist commies.
Which, by the way, is insane.
We're talking about business school.
It doesn't get more capitalist than
Anyway, there's no reasoning with him.
Must be hard.
Look, I get
he's upset. He lost his mom,
and now he'll be losing
me to California. But what?
Does he expect me to live
walking distance from him
my entire life?
I'm 27 years old, for God's sake.
Ow.
Sorry. I didn't mean to
It's okay.
But seriously, are you
like that with Harrison?
Never let him out of your sight?
- No.
- And he's a teenager.
You would have way more of an excuse.
Yeah, maybe, but
Blessing losing his mom,
considering how she saved
him when he was a child.
I know.
I guess I should be more
understanding or whatever.
[SIGHS] I'm sure
I can't even imagine
what their bond was like,
fleeing Sierra Leone
when he was just a kid.
Yeah, being a child soldier.
That must have been Ow!
What are you talking about?
You didn't
He was a child soldier?
He didn't want to be. He was kidnapped.
By a warlord.
Oh, my God.
- Oops.
- So, he told you all of this
in the two weeks you've known him?
Uh
I I'm sorry. I
I can't. I
- I-I need to go.
- Okay.
- I didn't know you
- How could you?
Why would you ever
think he would tell you
something he didn't even tell his own
[CRYING]
[SIGHS]
[SOMBER MUSIC]
[HARRY LAUGHS]
Way to go, Dex.
Should I have clarified
he only killed one person?
I think you've done enough.
Besides, you have other
business to attend to.
[UP-TEMPO MUSIC]
[DEXTER] Business is looking up.
In a few short hours, I'll nab
Al on his way from Hamilton.
There's room for him
right here.
My shoulder's feeling better.
I can get him on my table.
And then, Prater's kill club
will be officially disbanded.
[PHONE VIBRATES]
Hey, buddy.
[HARRISON] Hey, Dad.
I fucked up.
- You okay?
- I'm fine. I just
I need your advice on something.
Are you free to meet up?
Uh, one sec.
Keeping my killing life separate
from my personal life is
difficult when my personal life
keeps calling, asking for help.
Can you meet me in the Theater District?
Theater District?
[HORNS HONKING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[HARRISON] The
situation's gotten so bad,
if she doesn't figure
something out by this weekend,
she and her son, Dante uh, they'll
they'll basically be homeless.
[POP MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKERS]
I swear, I think it's all
'cause I opened my stupid mouth.
I can relate.
Really?
Yeah, I said something
to Blessing's daughter I shouldn't have.
Thought it was a "me" thing
to misread a situation like that.
Or maybe it's a human thing?
Guess it runs in our family.
Hey, this landlord, Vinny.
- Yeah?
- Maybe I could
talk to him. I can be persuasive.
Persuasive?
How? I-I don't want you to
No, of course, not that.
He may be an asshole,
but that doesn't make him Code-worthy.
- Right.
- But maybe the complaints would be
taken more seriously coming from me?
You know, former law enforcement.
I know the lingo.
Yeah. Yeah, that that could work.
It's worth a try.
[SIPS QUIETLY]
Thank you.
- Your appetite's returned.
- Mm.
I guess I've just
been feeling really guilty about Elsa.
That's a good thing.
Hey, I'm pretty tired. You
mind if I grab the check?
Yeah, sure.
[DEXTER] Time to feed my own appetite.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
While Al learns about
Hamilton the statesman,
I can learn about Vinny the landlord.
Guys like Vinny
will never respond to the anguish
of people they exploit.
They require outside influence.
Vinny's transgressions are more serious
than Harrison thought.
Add to that the pain
inflicted on young Dante,
and who knows how many
tenants he's thrown out
on the streets in the middle
of a lethal New York winter?
[HARRY] No, Dexter. You're reaching.
Vinny doesn't fit the Code.
- Eh
- You're supposed to be
disentangling your family
life from your killing life,
not re-entangling it.
Focus on the theatre buff at hand.
I am, but I also need to help Harrison.
Vinny fitting the Code would
really streamline things.
Dex.
[DOOR OPENS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[MAN] Great to see it again.
"I'm Not Gonna Miss My Shot"
is gonna be in my head all week.
- [LAUGHING]
- The king was really funny.
Where are you, big guy?
[WOMAN] That was such a great show.
Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
where the fuck are you?
[LINE RINGING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Oh.
I am s I'm so sorry, Red. I
I texted Prater and I
totally forgot to call you.
- I'm sorry, buddy.
- What's up?
What's up? Uh, Hamilton
not what I signed up for.
Y-You know it's a rap show?
I couldn't understand
a damn word they said.
Total waste of money.
I took off at intermission.
You took off?
Yep, I am driving
through Hoboken right now.
I should be, uh,
home by tomorrow night.
Aw.
I was really looking
forward to getting together
one last time. How about
I meet you out that way?
Aw, you know,
I got to get home to the little lady.
You know, babies don't make themselves.
[CHUCKLES] Am I right?
But hey, you know what? I'll
I'll see you next year,
if Prater keeps this tradition going,
if this year's murders
didn't mess it all up.
Okay. Well, maybe I'll
look you up in Wisconsin
if I'm ever in that neck of the woods.
What area are you in, anyway?
Oh, pal,
I try to keep the Prater world
separate from my family life.
You understand.
I do.
Well, listen, Red, I'm
gonna bid you adieu.
Take care of yourself, okay, pal?
[DEXTER] It kills me to let Al go free.
[SIGHS]
For now.
My Dark Passenger anticipated
having Al on my table.
Now what?
[CONSTANCE] Did you find a place
for Prudence's cat figurine?
You bet. I think about
her every time I see him.
Or her. It.
[LAUGHS] That's nice.
I was wondering,
what would happen if a tenant found mold
in one of your units?
What? Where, downstairs?
No, it's not in my apartment.
I'm asking for a friend.
- Really.
- Oh, thank God.
I mean, that's terrible
to hear about your friend,
but mold is serious business.
There's laws with this. Let me get you
the tenant-landlord handbook.
It lays out New York state law.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
- Hi, Blessing.
- [CONSTANCE] Found it.
Hi, honey.
Here you go.
Dexter.
Can I talk to you for one minute?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Sure.
Do you want to sit?
Why would you do this to me?!
Joy called me.
I was out driving.
She could barely speak,
she was crying.
She hung up before I could even
How could you tell her about my past?!
She's never going to
look at me the same.
She thinks I'm a monster.
I really don't believe she thinks that.
Of course she does.
How could she not?
You'd be surprised what
your kids can handle.
Oh, really, Dexter?
Just imagine if Harrison
knew you had killed a person.
[DEXTER] Just one?
[GRUNTS]
I don't understand
why you did this to me.
I was very clear.
That part of my life
was always to remain separate.
I never wanted to bring that
into my home.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
You betrayed me.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[HARRY] Look how upset you are.
I was trying to help him.
His relationship with his daughter.
Helping heal relationships.
New lane for you, Dex.
Usually, you're in the
business of ending them.
- This is why I don't do friends.
- Honestly,
you've been irritable
ever since Al got away.
Is this your version of hangry?
Go away, Dad.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[TYPING]
[CLOCK TICKING]
How long until Vinny can see me?
I've been waiting almost two hours.
I'm sorry,
but he's finalizing a big deal
on a new apartment building in Harlem.
Great, more lives ruined.
I can check if he's almost done.
Thanks.
Mr. Valente?
[VINNY IN DISTANCE] That
asshole's still out there?
Tell him to come back tomorrow.
- I'm going to lunch.
- [HANGS UP]
I'm sorry,
but his call ran long
and he's late for a lunch.
Is there a day next week that works
for you to come back? Excuse
me, you can't go in there.
Excuse me, sir.
- The hell is this?
- I need to speak to you
about an issue in one of your buildings.
I'm sorry. Are you with the city?
- No.
- Are you a lawyer?
Nope.
Then get the fuck out of my office!
- Fuck, Lyanne! What the fuck?
- I-I
I'm not running a fucking circus here!
I'm sorry, sir, I told him
he couldn't go in there.
[VINNY] Do your fucking job!
[DEXTER] Harrison showed
incredible restraint
not killing this guy.
Hope I can be like my son.
[GIGI] So unless you
have any other questions,
we've come to the end of our tour.
This is the admissions building here,
if you want any more specifics
about the application process, or
Uh, I hope
I see some of you on campus next fall.
- Thank you, Gigi.
- Cool, thanks.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[GIGI] Look who comes crawling back.
I just stopped by the
financial aid office
and I'm officially applying.
What?
- That's amazing.
- I'm really excited.
So, you told them I gave you the tour?
- What?
- I get a commission
when you apply.
Wait, really?
No, I'm totally fucking with you.
You suck.
Aw, it's gonna be so much fun
having you around.
Would you maybe, um
you want to hang out sometime?
How about tonight?
Tonight?
Uh
You like to dance?
I can get us into a pretty cool spot.

So, this is his kill room. It's fresh.
I got here before he could take it down.
- Where is the body?
- No, no,
I-I got here in the nick of time.
I stopped him from killing him.
You fought Mr. Morgan? Where is he?
No, no. There was a
man. A big motherfucker.
He was covered in plastic.
Did you free him?
Uh, no. Dexter must have freed him.
Why would the Bay
Harbor Butcher do that?
He must have heard me break in.
- You broke in?
- And you saw him?
No.
But I heard his car.
But you didn't see it.
- Or him.
- No, he drove away.
I
I didn't see him.
But I was this close.
I do not understand.
[ANGEL] Okay, the man wrapped in plastic
on the table he ran away.
He was so terrified
that he ran right over me.
But he was here.
And why did he run away?
Because he was scared of
the Bay Harbor Butcher.
The man who ran
the would-be victim
did you get his name?
- Identification?
- [ANGEL] It all
happened so fast, you know, I
I made sure to call you.
I can describe him.
He's big, thick.
Black hair. Italian, maybe.
Big, thick Italian guy.
Sounds like half the cops we work with.
How did you find this place?
I put a tracker in Dexter Morgan's car.
- Oh. You had a warrant.
- Well
it was just AirPods.
I left my AirPods in his car,
so I ended up using them
- to track him.
- You broke into his car?
No, he gave me a ride
from his apartment.
It's a long story.
Look at this. Hmm?
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
Shit.
It was it was following
Look, I'm not lying.
Dexter must have found it.
He must have destroyed it.
He's smart.
Finds himself out of everything.
Listen to this.
[ANGEL ON RECORDING]
3:05 p.m., just arrived.
49th and 6th. Midtown.
He's been here for over an hour.
There's a salon, laundromat,
office buildings.
Why are you looking at me like that?
How are we looking at you?
What, you think I put up
all this plastic myself?
Strange that you should say that,
is it not, Captain Batista?

[HARRY] Guess your warning to Batista
to get out of town didn't work so well.
He's out there somewhere.
- I can feel it.
- Dex,
you were supposed to be
getting under his skin,
not letting him get under yours.
He could be heading here with NYPD.
Vinny never even saw your face.
You didn't leave any
prints behind, no DNA.
You didn't even kill
anyone, which would have
really screwed you, by
the way, so good going.
- I was never gonna kill him.
- [SCOFFS]
Well, lucky for you, Al skipped town,
'cause you were
definitely gonna kill him.
He could have bugged the place.
Dex, he used AirPods to follow you.
A high-tech, department-
supported investigation,
this is not.
He's acting alone.
Still,
he won't let it go.
He's never gonna give up.
Not until
Until he's got you behind bars.
What am I supposed to do with that?
You could stop killing.

Miami Metro Homicide.
- Lieutenant Quinn speaking.
- [OPERATOR] Transferring
- a call from the NYPD.
- [CLAUDETTE] Hello.
This is Detective
Claudette Wallace, NYPD,
calling to check on the
status of one of your cases.
And that would be?
The Bay Harbor Butcher.
Hello?
Sorry, did you say
the Bay Harbor Butcher?
Correct.
Yeah, that case has
been closed for years.
I met your Captain,
Angel Batista, who is
actively pursuing it.
- What?
- Is this a poor connection?
- I said your captain
- Yeah, no, no, no, he
he's not our ca I
mean, he was our captain,
but he retired.
He up and quit out of
nowhere. It was crazy.
- Angel Batista?
- Yeah. Look,
he's a really good guy, he is, but,
uh, he's
He is no longer an active
law enforcement officer.
No.
And I don't know what the
fuck he's doing in New York.

[HARRISON] You should have
seen how happy she was.
Dante's gonna be okay now,
there's no more stress about
where they're gonna have to live.
I Seriously, Dad.
Thank you so much.
Sounds like he listened.
What did you say to him?
- [MUFFLED SCREAMING]
- I think I said something like,
"You got to realize your
actions have consequences
for the people around you."
You scared him, didn't you?
I'm just glad he's
taking care of the mold.
Hopefully, he'll be a better
landlord from here on out.
What?
You say I have a thing for justice.
I think you do, too, Dad.
Huh.
Maybe.
By the way, would it
be cool if I, maybe,
spent the weekend at your place?
