"A pattern of bodies was identified in Oregon." "My flight leaves tonight." " If you're leaving, we gotta work out logistics." " Do you honestly want to go down this path?"

"Laura moser was his informant." "Was he just using her?" "Was he using me?" "Dad wasn't perfect, deb." " What did he do?" "Cheat on mom?" "Bullshit." "Who?"

" Is it possible I've actually made a friend?" "Someone I can trust with my dark secrets?" " I didn't teach you the code to share with your buddies." " Miguel really did it." "And I taught him how." "Harry was right." "He used me." "You're all just unchecked versions of myself, what I would've become without my father's code." " I could kill you now." " I've never felt this."

" Polo." " Polo." " Marco." " Polo." " Marco." " There's this cliche where serial killers are always described as, "quiet, kept to himself." "Kind of a loner. "" "It's a cliche for a reason."

" That's never going to happen." " Yeah, because you're never here." " No, because you make me happy." " And what conclusions did you draw from the blood evidence, Mr. Morgan?" " I was able to determine the victim's movement and direction after the initial blunt force trauma to the head caused by the defendant's fist." " How so?" " I..." "Reconstructed, uh..." "Timeline and sequence of events by examining..." "It's here somewhere." "I noticed a passive flow pattern bloodstain approximately two meters in length emanating from the head wound, and the sample was consistent with the sample from the defendant's shirt." " You did say "passive flow pattern bloodstain"?" " Quote, unquote." " What exactly do your notes say?" " Um..." ""The bloodstain described a passive pooling" ""and flow configuration, type 'o' negative," ""matching the sample taken from, um..." "Uh..." "Leonetti's shirt. "" "But this is the Gomez hearing." " Yes, Mr. Morgan." "The defendant's name is Benito Gomez." "I must've brought the wrong notes."

" So you're saying that you're sleep-deprived and it's affecting your judgment?" " No, it's just a momentary mix-up." " Wrong notes, wrong blood type." "Wrong defendant." "Wrong case." "That's what you call a momentary mix-up in a murder trial?" " I misspoke." " Oh, fuck." " Your honor, the witness has just demonstrated how unreliable he is in a courtroom." "I would have to ask how reliable his work is in the lab." "Or on a crime scene." "Moreover, how reliable is a police department that would place so much trust in his "expert" opinion?" " I'm halfway through the c." "I. Files you gave me." " I were you, I'd spend more time with that man of yours and less time looking for some old confidential informant your daddy might've diddled back in the day." " I meet another one tomorrow." "Maybe then I'll finally get some answers." " Say you do." "Then what?" " Then..." "I'll know." "That my perfect fucking father wasn't so fucking perfect." " So that's what, the meaning of life?" " The meaning of my life." " Hey, buddy." "Guess where I was yesterday." " Well, I'm not sure, I..." " I was at a store." "Want to take a guess what kind of store?" " I don't know." "Grocery?" " Clothing." "You know me, I'm pretty into that shit." "Gotta come correct and all." "But not yesterday." " Look, if this is about  come on, buddy." "Let me finish." "I was at a store helping a lady pick out a suit for her son." "Know why?" "Because he had to be in court." "See the guy who killed his old man." "Kid's first fucking suit." "Something a father should be doing." " I'm sorry." " Little late for "sorry. "" "That asshole you let walk?" " Benito Gomez." " Ah, now you get it right." "You actually see what that fuckhead did?" "Gomez hit the kid's old man so hard, his cheekbone broke, pushing his eyeball up and out of his face." "Then Gomez, sweetheart that he is, kills the guy in front of his own son." " I know." " How about this beauty?" "Gomez did five years for beating his girlfriend so bad even her dentist had a hard time with the I.D." "So is your "sorry" gonna keep Gomez from pounding somebody else into the next world?" " Jesus, chill out, Quinn." " No, deb, he's right." "I screwed up in court today." "Gomez walked." "This one's on me." " Thanks." "That means so much to me." "Why don't you hold onto those for me, 'kay, buddy?" "I'm sick of looking at 'em." " You screwed up?" " Big time." " Should I be worried?" "No, I'll be okay." "Maybe it's Benny Gomez who should be worried." " And good solve on the Reynolds case, guys." "Next up, chief's office wants..." " Anything I can do to keep that angry irish off your ass, let me know." " You're a real friend, Vince." "Quinn's a good cop." "I need a good kill." "And sometimes one just falls into your lap."

" And was Ms. bell the only victim?" " Who gave you her name?" " I searched the address on this thing called the Internet." "Now, what can you tell me about the murder?" "Suspects?" " Murder?" "Suspects?" "We still haven't officially ruled out suicide." " So it was pills?" " No." " Then she bled out." "Women pretty much only do one or the other." " Do me a favor." "You break this case before we do, give me a call." " It's Detective Joseph Quinn." "Miami-metro, extension 3734." "Cell number?" " Mm." " Nice touch, Joseph." " Damn it." "Can't anyone fill up the..." "Fucking..." "Water thing?" "Tough crime scene?" " No." "Mm..." "Kind of." "Yes." "You know, when things are going good," "I think that's God's way of saying to cover your ass, because something's gonna jump up and bite it, hard." " Well put." "You and Anton doing okay?" " Knock on wood." " Any sign your ass is gonna get bit?" " None." " So this is you just making yourself crazy?" " That's kind of what I do." "What?" " It's just I've taken that trip 1,000 times before." " And?" " And knock it off." " Is that an order, boss?" " Just some free advice from someone who's been there before." " Hey, did you ever go out with that guy that Anton wanted you to meet?" "Musicians aren't really my thing." " He owns a restaurant." "Three of 'em." "Cuban restaurants." "What the fuck is wrong with musicians?" " That came out wrong." "What makes you think a Cuban restaurant matters?" " That came out wrong too." " I'm not looking for anyone new anyway." "But when and if, I'll let you know." "Thanks." " Mm-hmm." "Finally." "Peace and quiet." "No crying baby." "No Marco, no polo." "Just me..." "And blood." "And Mr. Benito Gomez." "Where to find a washed-up boxer like you?" "Trailer park." "Great." "Kids, neighbors." "More kids." "Sounds like my world." "But this..." "The only still open for business establishment in a lonely strip mall?" "That's kind of calling to me." "This feels good." "Hey, you." " Hey, Dex." "You alone?" " Uh, yeah." "Why?"

" You'd like an iPod, wouldn't you, little Harrison?" "Why not just end the terror and give her an iPod?" " Mm." "No, it's a power play." "She's trying to manipulate us to get what she wants."

" Not sure." "Yet." " Coming from you, why does that not surprise me?" " You know he's my brother, right?" " Found something." "Mr. Morgan." " Hmm?" " It's blood." "Pool pattern, not incidental spatter from the recent murder." "This is something else entirely." " Where's it from?" " Bathtub." " So you're taking an already extremely difficult case and polluting it with your, what, theories?" " I didn't put the blood there." " And according to you, neither did our killer." " Joey, why don't we step outside, let the geeks get their geek on?" "Look, I gotta be somewhere, so see if you can hold things down around here without going all asshole on my brother, okay?" " Blood tells." "Blood always tells." " Dexter." "How's my favorite blood spatter analyst?" " Uh, great." "How's my favorite serial killer hunter?" "Uh, you just missed deb."

" Killer was careful, right?" "Immaculate." " Very." " Well, you're in the middle of something here." "I, uh, I don't want to interrupt." "Mind if I drop by the station later?" " Sure, not a problem." " Good seeing you again, Dexter." " Shit." " Hello, Detective." "Won't you come in?" " I'm here to talk about Harry Morgan." "I'm his daughter, Debra." "Debra Morgan."

" Mm." "Baby's down." "You know what that means?" " Mm." "Sleep." " Sex." " Oh." " And I'm not talking the rushed, frantic, the-kids-are-asleep sex." "But slow, hot, steamy, naughty sex." " Look, if you're too tired..." "Dexter, ever since the move and the baby, we've had, like, zero time together." " Yeah." " I mean, aren't you as horny as I am?" " Course I am." " All right." "Well, just close your eyes." " Maybe I can squeeze in a power nap." " Okay, open." " Or not." " I was saving these for when we finally got some real time alone." "And..." "And tonight's the night." "Mm." " Oh." "Ha ha..." " Oh..." " Mm." " It's all right." "I'll go." "You've already done so much." " Oh, who's a good boy?" " Yeah, who's a good boy?" "Who's a good boy?" "Yeah." "Want to know a secret?" "Daddy kills people." "Well, bad people." "Not really anybody else I can tell about that, you know?" "Daddy's not going anywhere, buddy." "I've already lost my innocence." "I'm not going to sacrifice yours too." "Triple red-eye, please." " That's your third one today, bro." "You don't cut back, and you're tempting the heart gods." " Least of my worries." "Bro." " Brought you a copy of my article." "Figured you're a dumb cop and don't read the paper." " Give me some credit." "I never miss the obituaries." "Front page." "Nice." " I do what I can." "My editor okayed a follow-up." "You got anything for me?" " I would if I could, but I got nothing." " Hmm." " Besides, off the record, we, uh, got bigger fish to fry." " What kind of fish?" "Off the record." " You know those pricks who've been shaking down tourists?" " The vacation robbers?" " No, the vacation murderers." "They shot some poor newlywed." "Didn't make it." "So..." "We're more than a little distracted." " You want another distraction," "I'd love to take you out for a drink." "You know, to thank you for your help..." "With the bathtub story." " Uh-huh." " Uh-uh." "I am so not hitting on you." " Yeah, me neither." "Let's make it dinner." " I got the blood work back from our bathroom do-over." " Did you run it through the database?" " No point." "The blood you swabbed showed shit-all on the DNA front." "Our chances of finding out who it belongs to are about, oh, one in six fucking billion." " What was Lisa bell's address?" " 1578 glencoe." "Why?" " Well..." "If the DNA won't tell us who it belonged to, maybe the address will." " 1578 glencoe." "April 11, 1979." "Homicide." "1979?" " Vicky noonan, 22." "Found in the bathtub." " Bled out." "Incision to her thigh." "What are the chances of that?" " What are the chances of what?" " Special Agent Lundy." " Vincent masuka, if memory serves." " That's right." "L.F.I. On the b." "H.B." " Heh." " You're working a case, right?" "Feds need us to  mind if I speak with Dexter?" " Uh..." "I'll go, uh, to records and get the write-up on noonan." "Just doing my job." " He's right, you know." " About?" " Why I'm in Miami." "It is a case." " Yeah, I figured." "But why do you need me?" "You have the full resources of the FBI." " Not anymore." "I'm retired." " Oh." "Their loss." " Yeah, well." "I fish." "Travel." "And, uh..." "Now I have the time to track down the one twisted son of a bitch who got away." " So who is the twisted son of a bitch?" " I call him the trinity killer." "Kills in threes." "Been doing it all over the country for years." "Problem is, I can't prove he exists." "Law enforcement doesn't talk to each other." "So no one at the FBI is even on board." "Just me." "I've been looking for a break." "Then this happens." " Lisa bell." " Her murder profile fits the previous victims." "Trinity's in Miami, Dexter." "Starting his cycle all over again." " No..." "No..." "No..." " How far back do your cases go?" " About 15 years." " The house and room where Lisa bell was murdered was the site of a very similar homicide" "30 years ago." "Take a look." "No..." "No..." " We've come full circle." "He's back where his killing began." "30 years." "You know what this means?" " Trinity's the most successful serial killer to ever..." "Get away with it." " What?" "I'm fine." "I can't wait to see you." "Anton, I have to go." "I have a meeting." " Hello, Debra." " Motherfucking fuck." "Nice to see you too." " What are..." "What- what are you doing here?" "Are you here on a case?" " Actually, I'm retired now." " Yet you're here." " Life has a natural forward momentum." "Certain things are inevitable." "Like you." "Making Detective." "Congratulations." " Thanks." " I never had any doubt." "So how long will your forward momentum keep you in Miami?" " Not sure exactly." "Be seeing you." " Yeah." "I guess." "Maybe." "I mean, I don't- I don't know." " Big plans this evening, sergeant?" " The usual, lieutenant." " Oh." "Hey, guys." "Drinks?" " I had Benny Gomez on the ropes and let him slip away." "No way I can go to that bar again." "Officer alphabet made sure of that." "Which means I grab Benny where he lives." "A higher degree of difficulty, but I don't have a choice." "If I want to be around for my son," "I have to do this right." "I'm..." "Killing for two now." " The fuck you want?" " You." " Look at him." "Fast asleep." "Lucky guy." " I know you." " I'm the blood guy." "You've made a lot of people very miserable." "Me included." "Till now." "Oh..." "Because now I get to answer life's big question." "My life, anyway." "Can I do it?" "Can I have it all?" " Oh, shit." "Hello?" " Dexter, I need you to go to an all-night pharmacy right away." " I'm kind of in the middle of something." " Well, Harrison has an ear infection." "He's in a lot of pain, Dexter." "Whatever you're doing can wait." " Uh, right." "My mistake." "I wasn't thinking." "I'm on my way." "Kids." "Gotta go." "No time to savor this." "Clock's ticking." "But it's all about sacrifice." " For the good of the family." " Maybe tonight wasn't perfect." "Maybe I need to reboot the way I do things." "But at least I'm on the right road." "I'm on my way to taking care of my family, raising my son." "And all the while doing what I have to do to satisfy a calling that I can't ignore..." "Or deny." "I can do this." " Dexter!" "You don't need to sleep!" "You need to wake up!"
