Hello, everyone. There is no such thing as the perfect crime. Not in my experience, anyway.

So, let's get a jump start on the Bay Harbor Butcher. A moniker which, by the way, repulses me.

[thoughts] Well, we have something in common.

[Images of dismembered body parts are shown]

First report from the field had these parts as coming from one body.

[thoughts] Actually, it's two.

Actually, it's two.

[thoughts] Uh-oh.

There's been speculation that this human harvest is connected to a case we recently solved. But there are several inconsistencies between the two sets of body parts. Gender. Exhanguination. Specific methods of dissection.

[thoughts] Not to mention my guys deserved it.

[Officer gives Dexter a tranquilizer gun]

OOfficers

Some 'gators giving you trouble, Dex?

They, uh, they ate my puppy.

[Debra nearly trips over a suitcase]

What fucking asshole left this here!?

It's Special Agent Fucking Asshole. Morgan, right?

I feel like a jigsaw puzzle missing a piece. And I'm not even sure what the picture should be.

[Angel knocks on a door]

Miami Metro. May we talk to you?

WWoman

Go to Hell!

Okay. But, before we do that, ma'am, can I ask you a few questions?

WWoman

How many is a few?

Uh, three. But one's a two-parter.

WWoman

Go away before I call the police!

We are the fucking police!

WWoman

I ain't talking to no one with language like that!

Let's look at the bright side.

What bright side?

Karmically, we're batting a thousand. There's something balancing about that kind of consistency.

[Dexter enters a church]

If I believed in God, if I believe in sin, this is the place where I'd be sucked straight to Hell. If I believed in Hell.

PPriest

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you, father.

I'm not sorry.

You're still here.

Never left.

Yeah, you did. I killed you.

No. You just took my life.

So, how do I make you go away?

Hm. Well, you could try doing what these people are doing.

I'm not like them.

Well, if it helps, I can tell you that it's not your fault. What you did to me.

I never said it was.

But you feel it.

How do you know that?

It's human nature.

I'm not human.

No. You're just fucked up.

I need to let you go.

You think it's as simple as that?

Nothing's simple.

[Pushing Little Chino's body on a cart]

It was simple really. All I had to do was put myself into the mind of a killer. Hardly a stretch.
