Dexter · Season 1, Episode 12

Rudy/Brian and Dexter in “Born Free”

Rudy/Brian

Your victims. Are they all killers?

Dexter

Yes.

Rudy/Brian

Harry teach you that?

Dexter

He taught me a code. To survive.

Rudy/Brian

Like an ... absurd avenger?

Dexter

That's not why I kill.

Rudy/Brian

You can be yourself around me. Who. Am. I?

Dexter

A killer. Without reason or regret. Free.

Rudy/Brian

You can be that way too.

Dexter

But the code ...

Rudy/Brian

[laughs] Dex! You don't have a code. Harry did. Now he's been dead ten years. You can't keep – keep him sitting on your shoulder like Jiminy Fucking Cricket! You need to embrace who you are now.

Dexter

I don't know who I am.

Rudy/Brian

'Course you don't. You've been away from your family since you were three. But I'm here now. I can help you. We can take this journey together.

Dexter

I can't. Not Deb ...

Rudy/Brian

No – no, don't say that.

Dexter

I'm very ... fond of her.

Rudy/Brian

You can't be a killer and a hero. It doesn't work that way!
