It doesn't matter what I do, what I choose. I'm what's wrong!
“Dirty Harry” · Season 4, Episode 5
In this episode: Dexter Morgan (3), Debra Morgan (2)
[After Rita demands to know what's inside Dexter's "tools" suitcase, which is revealed to be a gun]
It was Harry's. I wasn't comfortable having it now with the kids, so I kept it here.
See? I have nothing to hide ...
[voiceover] ... except for the syringes, scalpels and bonesaws hidden in that secret drawer underneath.
[going after Trinity] It's almost poetic. One serial killer ending the 30-year reign of another.
Yesterday I had Lundy and Anton and now they are gone because of me.
You didn't do anything wrong.
It doesn't matter what I do, doesn't matter what I choose. I am what's wrong. And there is nothing I can do about it. If I'm not hurting myself, I'm hurting everyone around me. And there is nothing I can do about it. I am... I am broken!
You are not. I am
[Dexter and Debra are standing where she and Lundy were shot]
You can't even see our blood. It's like it never happened.
Deb?
What the fuck's your problem?
I got here as fast as I could.
You have everything, and you're doing your goddamn best to throw it all away.
[sighs] Rita told you about the apartment?
What the fuck were you thinking? You have to make this right.
I'm not sure I know how.
You figure it out. I'm the fuck-up in the family. Not you.
Don't say that.
You have a choice. To be a good husband. To be a good father.
I know. It's just... sometimes I feel trapped.
By what? Three kids? A wife who adores you? Yesterday, I had Lundy and Anton. And now they're gone because of me.
You didn't do anything wrong.
It doesn't matter what I do. Or what I choose. I'm what's wrong! There's nothing I can do about it. If I'm not hurting myself, I'm hurting everyone around me. There's nothing I can do about it. [voice cracking] I'm... I'm broken!!
No, you're not... I am. [reaching for her] Why don't we go back to the house-
Don't! Don't! [sobbing] I need to be here! Where Lundy died. I can't do a fucking thing about it! [breaks down in Dexter's arms]
[voiceover] My sister doesn't deserve to be in this kind of pain. But I know who does.
