If I can get the crotchety, judgemental babysitter from Ireland to trust me, why not you?
S5 E4Beauty and the Beast
[voiceover] The babysitter doesn't trust me because of the lies; Lumen doesn't trust me because of the truth. There must be a name for that. Oh, right, Dexter Morgan.
I'm not liking the trend here. You rip a man apart in a public bathroom...
No one saw.
You nearly botch Boyd's kill.
He's dead, isn't he?
Yeah. And now you've got her. What's the first rule of the code?
Never kill an innocent.
Don't get caught. So what's your plan here? Nurse her back to health so she can go to the police? She gives the cops enough to track you down...then everything falls apart. Harrison grows up visiting you on death row.
I think my wife; his mom...might have left her luggage here, Lumen Pierce.
MWMotel woman
Let's have a look-see. Can you spell that, please?
Yeah, it's P-I-E-R-C-E.
MWMotel woman
The other name - the weird one. No offence.
[To Harrison] Ten months old and you've had your first cigarette. Sorry about that.
I tell you to leave Trinity's family alone, and instead, you go behind my back. And based on what? This? A cut-and-paste sketch you think resembles Dexter Morgan?
The kid recognized him.
He identified Dexter as Kyle Butler?
He didn't get a chance, but I could tell.
Oh, you could tell. And did Jonah convey this ID to the FBI?
No.
Right. Because it's bullshit! You have your suspicions, you come to me.
I tried.
And when I say, no, Quinn, it's over! You're on unpaid suspension until further notice.
Suspension?
Just tell everyone you're taking a few vacation days.
You kidding?
Am I fucking kidding? You're lucky I don't terminate your ass. And you know the one reason I don't? Because there'd be a mandatory hearing, and this whole embarrasment would become a matter of record. No one needs to hear about your stupid theories. It would tear this department apart. Understood?.
Sure.
He just lost his wife, for Christ's sake!
Is that true...what you said about your wife?
Yes.
How did it happen?
Knife...painful and cruel.
I'm sorry that I cut you. I thought you were a monster, like Boyd. I thought you were going to kill me...or worse. I was locked up. I don't know where, or for how long. All I know is that it was horrible. And I thought...it would never stop.
But it has stopped. He's dead. It's over. You can go home.
I don't think so.
You can. I read your letter. I know you have a family who loves you. You should go home to them.
It's not that simple.
It is. It really is.
Boyd wasn't the only one who did this to me. There were others. It's not over.
S5 E5First Blood
[voiceover] We all have something to hide, some dark place inside us we don't want the world to see. So we pretend that everything's okay, wrapping ourselves in rainbows. That's all for the best, because some of these places are darker than others.
[voiceover] I want to believe that smile, that watching your mother die hasn't changed you the way it changed me.
[voiceover] Not even a year old and you're already destroying evidence. And having to flee the scene of the crime.
I think his little black book has a few blank pages.
The dragon lady represents the dualities of my inner warrior.
Or your inner idiot
Hey, if you can't muster up some respect, I'm dropping the curtain.
We all have our own ways of expressing ourselves. I have my ink, and you have your man boots.
[to Masuka] Don't you have to have a soul before it's in crisis?
Tramp stamp. I think I'm in love.
If she's into needles, why don't you show her your dick?
