I'm sorry that I cut you. I thought you were a monster, like Boyd. I thought you were going to kill me...or worse. I was locked up. I don't know where, or for how long. All I know is that it was horrible. And I thought...it would never stop.
Dexter
But it has stopped. He's dead. It's over. You can go home.
I want you to get on with your life. Lumen... [Voiceover: She took the ticket. Maybe this is one problem I can check off the list. And maybe it'll snow this week.]
I know you. What you are, deep down. Aside from your police job and your "extracurricular activities". You're a father. I saw the pictures out there. Three children?
Dexter
The two oldest are with their grandparents. Their dad's mom and dad.
I had imagined a totally different life for myself too. I always did everything by the book, you know? Go, go, go. I never stopped to think. There was high school, and college, and graduate school. Owen. We were gonna get married at the house that I grew up in. On my wedding day I, I tried on the dress, and I looked at the window in the backyard where the aisle was, and I saw everything that that aisle was leading to. Babies, and matching dinnerware. Sunday barbecues. And I couldn't breathe. I had to get out of there, and find something ... more. Then, everything happened, and [pause] I actually thought "This is what I get. For trying to live my own life." Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?
But tonight, I felt this like, this... peace. And it's because he's dead. [Pause, and then painfully] And I know that it's not gonna last. And when it wears of, I'm gonna have to find the rest of them. [tearfully] Because that's the only way that I'll find that peace again. I don't even have a name for what I'm feeling.
Dexter
[voiceover] I do. The Dark Passenger. I can't get revenge for Rita's death, but I can help Lumen avenge what was done to her. [Pause, and then aloud] How many more were there?
The night that I was taken, I had gone to a bar. I thought that they spotted me there, so I went back to that same bar night after night, hoping that one of them would walk through the door. I wore a disguise.
Tonight one of them showed up. He didn't know it was me, so I...I flirted with him. I asked him if he wanted to go someplace else. We got in the car, I pulled out my gun, and I forced him to drive. This place seemed deserted, so we stopped, and I marched him inside.
I would be tied to a chair, blindfolded. Sometimes I wouldn't even know if he was there until I heard this watch by my ear. And then he'd lean in and whisper "Tick, tick, tick, that´s the sound of your life running out."
Suit and tie. He'd take off his jacket and fold it, very carefully, and then lay it on a chair. Like he didn't want to mess it up. The suit guy I'd know, he always took the blindfold off. I guess he thought I'd be dead soon.
[during a seminar] We've lost touch with our instincts, with what we are. We have fallen from nature's grace. But WE SHALL BE DELIVERED! [The crowd cheers] It's time to tap into your primal selves and seize the power of instinct. We're gonna cut off those shackles that bind us to jobs we hate, people we don't love, lives that aren't worth living. We are going to [in unison with crowd] TAKE IT!
Dexter
[voiceover] I've never been around so many people that make me feel normal.
