[Dexter is about to kill Zoey Kruger, a police officer who murdered her family]
You can't hide what you are.
Oh, I can. I'm better at it than you.
You will choose your life over theirs.
I won't. I'd rather risk with them knowing the truth ... [Dexter stops talking, thinking] than losing them. [emotionally] I don't want to lose them. I don't.
You gonna rape and kill me?
What is it with you and rape? No one's raping anyone. Killing on the other hand...
[Last words to Frank Lundy] Stay with me.
[Voiceover] Everyone needs a vacation. In my case, it's time off for bad behavior. But I intend to make the most of this family trip...that they're taking without me.
[Voiceover] Three days. 72 precious hours to recharge my batteries. 'Course Rita doesn't know I'll be recharging with another woman.
[Voiceover] As a cop, Zoey's been to plenty of crime scenes. She knows what should be there, and what shouldn't. No prints on the blood of the door, which means she wore gloves. She was still wearing gloves when she shot herself. But they were gone when the EMT's arrived.
Where'd you leave those gloves, Zoey?
Easier to think here, isn't it? Only 52 hours of freedom left. You sure chose an interesting person to spend it on.
Don't read anything into it. Zoey was a challenge, that's all.
A woman who wiped out her own family in order to be free.
She should've shot herself instead of her husband and child.
Yeah. Except that doesn't get her free, just dead.
Well, she had other options.
Alimony, visitation, trading off holidays. There go your weekends.
Fine, she could've moved away.
And forfeit her job? Her home? Her only option was to make her vacation from her family as permanent as possible.
There are always alternatives.
Why do you think Trinity's been so successful?
He travels a lot. Stays on the move.
He doesn't have a family.
Well, I do.
Miss them yet?
