This Dexter guy. First of all who the fuck is named Dexter? Did his parents know he was going to be a fucking egghead?

[Drinking coffee]
Sugar is so much better than the artificial stuff, don't you think?
I guess.
Do you like milk or cream?
Neither.
Not exactly the chatty type, are you?
No.
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.
Ah, there is one slight problem. Your case has nothing to do with our case.
The Vic wasn't skinned?
Not like our previous victims. There were minute traces of ink in the papillary and reticular...
English?
Someone 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.
Petechial 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!
So I go through every fucking photo of every fucking crime scene, and guess what I found.
Trimmed trees?
No, I didn't find shit. But, when I looked at the homes of the victims, mother fucking trimmed trees!
Hey, you know anything about wedding bands?
Yeah, wedding rings and nuclear fission are my secret specialties.
Thanks. [leaves]
Your brother's kind of a dweeb, huh?
You say anything more about my brother and I will kick your fucking nuts down your throat.
[laughs] That doesn't even make any sense.
They all say the same thing, "King was a very polite gardener, can't believe he's the Skinner."
I hate polite killers.
Let me ask you a question, hypothetical. Say a newly married person...accidentally discovers that his or her new spouse has a savings account with a lot of money. Is that something that one should expect to share?
Fuck, no. That's your money. You tell the lieutenant to keep her fuckin' hands off it.
I tell you to leave Trinity's family alone, and instead, you go behind my back. And based on what? This? A cut-and-paste sketch you think resembles Dexter Morgan?
The kid recognized him.
He identified Dexter as Kyle Butler?
He didn't get a chance, but I could tell.
Oh, you could tell. And did Jonah convey this ID to the FBI?
No.
Right. Because it's bullshit! You have your suspicions, you come to me.
I tried.
And when I say, no, Quinn, it's over! You're on unpaid suspension until further notice.
Suspension?
Just tell everyone you're taking a few vacation days.
You kidding?
Am I fucking kidding? You're lucky I don't terminate your ass. And you know the one reason I don't? Because there'd be a mandatory hearing, and this whole embarrasment would become a matter of record. No one needs to hear about your stupid theories. It would tear this department apart. Understood?.
Sure.
He just lost his wife, for Christ's sake!
I may have a job for you.
Really? And what would that be?
Looking into someone.
Who?
Guy I work with. Interested?
I don't know if I should be, considering who's sitting in front of me, making the offer.
What are you talking about? Have I ever fucked you over?
No, but LaGuerta just taught me there's always a first time. Look, Quinn, you fuck with the bull, you get the horn. You understand?
Yeah. Do you?
You got a name?
Dexter Morgan.
You alright?
Three people are dead. Carlos Fuentes and two girls. No one's crying about Carlos.
Because he's a scumbag.
Yeah, he's a scumbag that I shot and killed.
And? What's the problem? Don't tell me that you feel bad about killing him.
I don't. That's the problem.
DNA report's from the coroner's office point to multiple perps.
Do we have any names?
No. What we do have are partial sequences from seriously degraded DNA. But the evidence confirms what we knew about Boyd Fowler; and also points with a high probability to Cole Harmon, Jordan Chase's head of security.
As you know Cole Harmon was our original suspect in the case...
[voiceover] Until I pointed them toward Boyd Fowler.
He is now our main target again.
[voiceover] A target you'll never hit. He's already been buried at sea.
[After the discovery of the DVD's showing the men raping and torturing the women, and looking at pictures of it.]
Hey, uh, could we talk in private?
Yeah, go ahead.
No I mean like, later, over dinner.
Why?
What's the big deal?
That's what I'm asking you. You're being weird.
You're being weird.
Okay, now you're being weird and stupid.
What is going on with you? You're acting so weird lately.
I'm not acting weird, I...
You're about to drink the candle.
