[Cody has had a nightmare]
What was it, the big scary ghost or the alligator?
No. The Bay Harbor Butcher.
Oh, honey.
He would never hurt you. But I'll let you in on a secret. My sister Debra, who is a secret police agent ninja warrior, said he only kills bad people. And you're not a bad person, are you?
No.
Then you're quite safe.
[talking about the "Bay Harbor Butcher"] It makes me so angry that there's some monster out there scaring my son.
[uncomfortable] I gotta go to work.
You know, I hope they catch him today. And I'm not a violent person, but I hope they'll hurt him. Have a good day. [kisses Dexter goodbye]
[voiceover] Make up your mind.
[voiceover] In our most paranoid moments, we fear that everyone is talking about us. That's become my reality.
[voiceover] I refuse to believe that Vince Masuka is the man who single-handedly brings me down. I also know denial is the first stage of the grieving process for those who learn they're going to die.
[Dexter looks at several of Lila's art projects]
Why are they eating each other?
Dunno. Ask them.
Do you like the heat?
Um, not really. I'm partial to air conditioning.
Ah, I love it. Makes me feel like the whole world could explode at any moment.
That's a pleasant thought.
So, if you're perfectly clean, why'd you call?
I'm under a lot of ... pressure. At work. I was hoping you could maybe give me some quick tips on how to deal with the urges.
[amused] There are no quick tips.
Oh. I see.
[Lila steals a wind chime]
I thought we were gonna get art supplies.
That's what we're doing. I work with found art.
More like stolen art.
Is that what a sponsor does on their first meeting?
I dunno. I've never sponsored anyone before.
Really.
You do realize that I work with the police department.
If we get caught, you can flash your badge.
I don't have a badge – I have a laminate.
So, tell me. Why do you use?
... Why? I dunno, it's just part of who I am.
And who are you?
I'm, uh ... a bad person.
Haha. You haven't got the first idea who you are, have you? Dexter, meet Dexter. I'm gonna help the two of you get to know each other.
Doesn't really seem necessary.
The first step to recovery is getting to know who you are.
I thought the first step was admitting you have a problem.
And before you can accept who you are, you have to know who you are. So that's our first job. You're going to tell me all your deepest, darkest secrets.
[Dexter answers the phone and hears about a case]
I've gotta get back. Dead body.
Humph. How many times have you used that one before?
[Doakes looks at several weapons on the counter]
Tell me that shit wasn't stolen from Saddam's palace!
What are you saying?
I'm saying – asshole special ops. No doubt about it.
Huh. They're generally known for settling their arguments peacefully.
Don't get smug with me.
Sounds like we're in your world, James.
Yeah, I'll take lead on this one.
Why did the killer cut 'em up like this?
Easy disposal.
Or for fun. You don't kill this many people because it's a chore. You do it because you like it.
