[Deciding on who gets to inspect the body]
MasukaAll right, call it – heads or tails?
Heads.
[Dexter goes to see the body]
MasukaI didn't flip yet!
You said call it.
MasukaEight confirmed.
Eight confirmed? Here?
No. Here is just one.
MasukaWe're talking eight confirmed victims of the Bay Harbor Butcher.
The Bay Harbor ... Butcher?
MasukaThat's what the press is calling whoever dumped those bodies off shore. Has a nice ring to it, no?
Well, it's a little ... lurid.
Lurid and possibly wrong. Part of me's hoping they found the Ice Truck Killer's dumping ground.
Tell me about it. Last thing Miami needs is another serial killer.
MasukaI bet you this guy never expected his work to see the light of day.
I bet you're right.
Still, it can't be easy to hide a body nowadays.
MasukaAre you shitting me?
Hypothetical. You're the Bay Harbor Butcher. How do you make sure that disposed bodies stay disposed?
MasukaTons of options. Everglades. Alligators. Pig farms. Sulphuric acid. Woodchipper. Incinerator. Hell, even meat pies.
MasukaThe boss's watermelons look bigger on TV.
The operative word is "boss" – show some respect.
MasukaI thought I was.
MasukaWho's your daddy?
... Uh, Harry Morgan?
MasukaSay it.
... You're my daddy?
MasukaSounds weird when you say it.
MasukaLead fucking investigator. Translation – everyone's bitch. I do have a life, you know.
You do?
MasukaThe fucking Bay Habour Butcher is butchering up my own social life.
[Masuka leaves the room]
Sorry.
Why did the killer cut 'em up like this?
MasukaEasy disposal.
Or for fun. You don't kill this many people because it's a chore. You do it because you like it.
Masuka, up front.
Masuka[to Dexter] Oh no, it's that crazy witch.
[To Masuka] Cause you're like a retarded puppy.
Masuka[rubs temple with middle finger at Angel]
Vince MasukaNeed all the luck I can get. Got a crucifix up there, too.
Because it did so much for Jesus?
Vince MasukaYour victim was smothered. That's not opinion. That's science. And science is one cold-hearted bitch with a 14-inch strap on.
And he's back.
I was also hoping I could speak with a couple of your previous witnesses.
Speak with? As in we didn't do it right the first time?
Cases evolve. Witnesses change their stories, junior personnel they make mistakes. No disrespect.
Oh, whoa! Actually that's a lot of disrespect. You've come into our house twice, you not only insult our police work, now you're insulting one of the most dedicated officers I've ever partnered with... yes, you. It's bullshit, my man!
Let's not lose sight of the fact that we want the same thing here. To find whoever is responsible for these murders.
MasukaAh, there is one slight problem. Your case has nothing to do with our case.
The Vic wasn't skinned?
MasukaNot like our previous victims. There were minute traces of ink in the papillary and reticular...
English?
MasukaSomeone dug out a tattoo from the back of her neck. Postmortem. Which is another reason why I don't think we're looking at the same killer. It's all right here in the County Medical Examiner's Report.
That's your opinion. My lab thinks differently.
Let me see that.
You're not taking this seriously are you?
In a fucking heartbeat! Do you know how many times Vince Masuka's been published?
He's our lead forensic investigator. And there's no one better.
Our victim was strangled, the same as yours.
MasukaPetechial hemorrhaging in the eyes and bruising would lead one to conclude strangulation. Unless you're me. You were so busy playing hide the sausage with the M.E.'s report you were hoping I'd miss the cotton fibers in the nose and airways. Your victim was smothered. That's not opinion, that's science. And science is one cold-hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap-on!
And he's back!
