Dexter · Season 5, Episode 10

Lumen, Tilden and others in “In the Beginning”

I look different don't I? Without my hands tied behind my back. But you recognize me, I can tell. [Dexter removes Tilden's gag]

TTilden

I never wanted to do any of it.

Really?

TTilden

It-it wasn't me. It-it was Jordan. It's all Jordan. You know, he has this way...

Of getting inside your head, getting you in touch your primal nature.

TTilden

He made me do things I never would have done.

[Angry] No, [putting a finger on his head] you made me do things I never would have done. Ever. EVER!

TTilden

What do you people want? I can give you Jordan Chase.

We've got Jordan Chase.

TTilden

Well, what do you want? Everybody wants something. I mean, that-that-that's what brought us to this fucking unfortunate situation. Am I right? I'm a banker. I can get money, lots of it. We can work this out, just tell me what's this gonna cost? Just give me a number!

[Leans in close to whisper] Thirteen. [She smiles at him]

TTilden

No, I- (Dexter regags him)

[Walks over to a table and picks a knife, voiceover] There's a first time for everything. A first step, a first word, a first kiss, a first kill. Somehow you know when the time is right. [He gives Lumen the knife, and then says aloud] Aim for the heart.

[Lumen stares at the pictures of the other victims for a while, before she closes her eyes in grief. She walks up to the table that Tilden is restrained on, and climbs on top of it. She then stabs him in the heart. She pants in horror for a few seconds, and then manages to control herself]
