New Blood: 01x03 - Smoke Signals

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Dexter: New Blood...

It's me. Harrison.

[DEXTER] It's just a few things,

in case you decide you want to stay.

I'm Jim's son.

- Son?
- I guess you met my mom.

The cop.

Chief of police.

The one dating your dad.

[FRED JR.] Matt Caldwell's been cleared.

He wants the g*n dropped
off at his dad's lodge.

[MYSTERIOUS, GENTLE MUSIC]

[g*nsh*t]

[SNORTING]

[MATT WHOOPS, LAUGHS]

You see what I did there, uh, Jim?

[GRUNTS]

[INHALES DEEPLY]

- [CLANGING]
- What the...?

You have no idea what you're doing!

- [GRUNTS]
- [GROANS]

[ANGELA] Matt Caldwell
disappeared in the woods

near here last night.

Your place is close to all
the public hunting grounds.

I was hoping we could set up
base camp for the search here.

I just found this about
a mile down the trail,

- right before I got to the...
- Highway.

What's going on?

[ANGELA] Evidence points
to him fleeing the area.

What are you talking about?
My son has disappeared,

and we need to find him now.

We'll keep going through the night.

Matt's out there.

I'm gonna find him,

if it's the last thing I do.

[LOW, TENSE MUSIC]

[PULSING, MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

[DEXTER] Ah, wilderness.

Snow. Ice.

Privacy.

Well, maybe not so much privacy.

I've got a search party
all over my property

looking for someone who's
literally under their feet.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

All because I made one tiny mistake

and k*lled someone.

Now I need to search for a way
to get everyone off my land

so I can be a proper dad for my son.

Okay. Let's go, buddy.

- [DRONE BUZZING IN DISTANCE]
- Five more minutes?

This drone is so cool.

We're meeting with the
school principal. First day.

- Don't want to be late.
- Okay.

- Thanks, Logan.
- Oh, yeah. Anytime.

Oh, hey!

You want to wrestle?

I'm the assistant coach
of the high school team.

- You should try out.
- [HARRISON] Cool.

Y-Yeah, I'll-I'll think about it.

Jim, you okay with your son wrestling?

Uh... sure. Sounds good.

Yeah, it's a great sport.
Teaches you personal growth,

confidence, mental toughness.

Logan!

We're going back to the station.

There's been a break in the case.

[DEXTER] A break in the case? Perfect.

- What happened?
- Talk later, Jim.

What do you think it is?
You think they found the body?

We'll find out soon enough.

Let's go.

[STRODE] By the way, Jim,

my husband loves that fishing
rod you talked him into.

Great.

He said you were right.

Having that fast action helps him

- put more pressure on the fish.
- Glad it worked out.

[STRODE] Me, too.

So, I've been looking
at Harrison's grades,

and I have some concerns.

- Concerns? [EXHALES]
- In just one year,

he went from a . down to a . ,

then back to a . .

Why is that?

I'm not exactly sure.

Uh, my stepmom d*ed.

Oh. Um...

I'm so sorry.

Is that why you moved
from Argentina to Miami?

Yep.

So, who did you move to Miami with?

Uh, I was placed in
the foster care system.

Foster care?

And where were you?

[DEB] Yeah.

Why don't you tell them why
you left your beloved son?

[STAMMERS] Things were
complicated, ma'am.

Um...

My stepmom and I had just moved.

And when she d*ed, uh, Jim
had no way of reaching me.

- It's not his fault.
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

- Hi, Jim.
- Oh, hey, Tess.

You must be Harrison.

I'm Ms. Silvera, the
science teacher here.

I heard you speaking
Spanish the other day.

Uh, ¿de dónde eres?

Puerto Rico.

¿Dónde aprendiste español?

I lived in Argentina for a few years.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Ms. Silvera will be administering

Harrison's placement exam.

Then we'll know which
grade level he's at.

And you'll know a little
more about your son.

[CHUCKLES] I'm not surprised

the salon was shut down
for health violations.

I mean, Sally has really
been letting things slide

ever since Edgar fell off
the wagon and started...

Rose-Ellen, I will call you later.

- Hey. Is Angela around?
- [CHUCKLES]

Conference room.

Apparently, Reservation Land Management

has footage of Matt Caldwell
sh**ting that deer.

Footage?

Who knew there were cameras
out there? [LAUGHS]

[DEXTER] I sure didn't.

- Huh.
- What do they even need them for?

I mean, we know how deer mate.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Jim, I need to talk to you.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

[DEXTER] Great.

I'm gonna be brought down
by three small-town cops...

This is Sam, from Land
and Wildlife Management.

... and a zoologist.

We need you to clear
something up for us.

Happy to.

Heat signatures?

It's pretty cool, huh?

Very. [EXHALES]

[ANGELA] Okay, pause it.

Does that look like the
r*fle you sold to Matt?

Uh...

I'm guessing it's a...

Modern Outfitters MC with...

what looks like a very
distinctive Leupold scope.

It's just like the one I sold Matt.

So you're saying that this is my son.

Well, this confirms
that Matt sh*t the deer.

And gets us no closer to finding him.

Actually, we did find one more thing.

From the next quadrant over,

about seconds earlier.

He's heading for the same
spot as the first guy.

[KURT] There's someone
else in the woods.

We need the angle that
shows where they went.

There's a blind spot.

[KURT] Blind spot? Why is
there a f*cking blind spot?

This system is set up
for animal tracking,

not crime surveillance.

There's gonna be tons of blind spots.

Ah. g*dd*mn it.

Contact tribal police.

Call Albany and get CSI out here

and, um, go secure the crime scene ASAP.

Yep, yep.

Oh, so now it's a crime scene?

[ANGELA] Yes.

[KURT] You had no idea
there were cameras

all over your people's lands.

You've been treating
this like it's some kind

of g*dd*mn missing persons case,

and, the whole time, you had a
suspect under your f*cking nose?

That's the way these things work, Kurt.

We find new evidence. Things change.

Now it's a criminal investigation.

Look, if this guy did something to Matt,

we'll find him.

You could check hunting licenses.

We sell 'em at the store.
I can make a list.

Which I won't be on.

Let's interview everyone who
came in contact with Matt

in the hours before he disappeared.

[LOGAN] On it.

Maybe he wasn't out there alone.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[ZACH LAUGHING]

What's up, Zach?

Yo. Yo, they got you taking
classes already, or what?

Not yet. I-I just took
the placement test.

It was cake.

Check out the big brain on H.

[CHUCKLES]

Yo, man. Look at this sh*t.

- [LAUGHTER]
- [CLAMORING] _

Who's Ethan?

That ballsack over there.

[LAUGHTER]

[PHONE CHIMES]

Hey, you should see
the sh*t he sends her.

- _
- Ooh-ooh, oh-oh.

Somebody's in love!

That's f*cked up.

[ZACH] Right?

[LAUGHING]

Hunting licenses... all from this year.

Hopefully this'll help point
you guys in the right direction.

Great. Thanks.

Wildlife cameras.

Who knew?

Not me.

Guys like Kurt have been doubting me

ever since I joined the force.

Now I've given him all
the amm*nit*on he needs.

I was calling off the
search after the first day

because I found a glove.

What was I thinking?

[DEXTER] What I wanted you to think.

If I learned anything, it's that
people don't just disappear.

There's always a reason.

Well, you're a good cop.

You'll find him.

Uh, that was fast.

Maybe we'll start getting some answers.

Damien.

Ah. Damn it!

You need another hand?

Oh! [CHUCKLES]

Much obliged. [GRUNTS]

Are you the CSI from Albany?

Well, originally I'm
from St. Louis, but...

You mind if I watch you work the scene?

I'm a big fan of those CSI shows.

[KURT] Hey, I'm coming, too.

It's my son they're looking for.

As long as you both stay
outside the crime scene

and don't disturb the corpus delicti.

Corpus de-what?

It's Latin for "body of evidence."

Damn it.

[DEXTER] Not out of the woods yet.

What you doing, Mr. Church?

Some of the blood coagulated
differently than the rest,

so I'm testing it

to see if it came from the deer

or if it's human.

[DEXTER] Exactly what I would've done.

Blood is the body's...

[DEXTER] Truth.

... truth.

It's human.

Someone may have mixed
it in with the deer's blood

so we'd overlook it.

[DEXTER] Uh-oh. This guy's good.

Kurt, we don't even know
if that's Matt's blood.

And even if it is, he
could've cut himself.

People cut themselves
dressing animals all the time.

Or maybe it's from the other
guy who was out here.

So, what, somebody att*cked Matt

because of that stupid deer

and he fought him off?

- Is that it?
- It's possible.

sh*t.

Damien, what do you think happened?

[DEXTER] Come on, Damien, fail me now.

- The victim came from over there.
- [WHOOPS]

The attacker from over there.

Judging by the pool of blood,

they met up right around here,
where the deer was sh*t.

There was some sort of... altercation.

The attacker overpowered the victim.

Knocked him down.

The victim then fell... backwards...

hitting his head right about...

Huh.

There was a rock here.

Must've been removed after the att*ck.

I suspect it caused a head injury.

Wait, so what exactly are
you saying happened here?

[CHUCKLES]

What I'm saying is somebody
committed an att*ck,

then tried to cover it up.

We're looking at foul play.

[DEXTER] I've gotten
rusty in my abstinence.

Well, what now?

How do we find the son of a
bitch that did this to my son?

We still don't know whose blood this is.

We need to establish that first.

That's true.

[ANGELA] Kurt, with your permission,

I want Damian to do a familial DNA test.

We'd run a sample of your
DNA against the human blood

that we just found and...

if it's a match, it will
confirm that it's Matt.

[STAMMERS] All right.
W-Whatever. Whatever you need.

[PHONE BUZZING]

[OVERLAPPING INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- This is Jim.
- [STRODE] Hello, Jim.

It's Principal Strode.

Yeah, I'm kind of in the middle
of something right now.

It's about Harrison.

We need you to come down to the school.

Harrison scored higher than
any student has ever scored

on the school placement exam.

So you had me come all the way down here

to tell me how great my kid is?

Tess left the room for minutes.

And when she came back, he was done.

- The test was easy.
- The test was easy.

Some of the questions on this test

are for Advanced Placement students.

College-level. I believe
while Tess was gone,

Harrison used his cell phone
to look up answers.

I did not.

Did you cheat?

You accusing me of lying... Jim?

No.

I'm happy to proctor the exam again.

There you go. You take
it again, no phones.

I did not cheat.

Then you'll prove it.

Oh, thanks for having my back.

Like always.

[SIGHS]

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [FIRE CRACKLING]

- [DEXTER] Tea.
- Oh, that's perfect.

I'm about to head out.

Got to check on the
results of the DNA test

and confirm the search dog team.

Search dogs?

- Yep. Should be here tomorrow.
- Wow.

You're ramping things up.

At this point, I'm just
hoping it's not too late.

It's not.

Search dogs?

- Jesus f*ck, Dex.
- I know.

You have to move Matt's body.

Those dogs are gonna walk a
straight line from the crime scene

- to your f*cking firepit.
- I know.

It's not just about you anymore.

- I know!
- Do you?

It was a one-time slipup.

It doesn't change who I am.

Who is that, exactly?

- Stop.
- Or what?

You gonna k*ll me again?

Or are other people gonna die?

Because that's what
always happens, right?

- Right?!
- Not this time. No.

[KNOCKING] [HARRISON]
What are you doing in there?

All yours.

All yours.

Just so you know. Retook the test.

Got a higher score than the first time.

That's great. Congrats.

[SIGHS]

[PHONE BUZZING]

This is Kurt.

It's Chief Bishop.

Apologies for calling so late.

Good news or bad?

I'm afraid it's a match.

The blood we found is
almost certainly Matt's.

I'm sorry.

Well, you should be.

You made my son out to
be some kind of criminal.

I wasn't wrong about that.

Excuse me?

Matt sh*t a white buck

on sovereign Seneca territory.

A crime that carries a sentence

of at least several thousand dollars.

I don't give a sh*t about that!

I only care what happened to my son.

My guess is that the other
person out there in the woods

saw Matt sh**t the deer,

and wasn't too happy about it.

Well, at least now you're starting
to sound like a real cop.

With all due respect,

I have been running this search
with zero state funding.

At the cr*ck of dawn,
I'll have volunteers

as far out as Clarke Mountains.

The next day, we will
cover the entire quarry.

The day after that, we
will canvass the caves.

We will not stop until we find your son.

The caves? You think he's that far out?

Matt's a smart guy.

Maybe he went looking for shelter.

What about the summer camp?

I'm having a group splinter off.
We're searching there, too.

[SIGHS] Listen, Kurt.

I know you're grieving.

- And I...
- Just call me

when you have an actual lead.

[SIGHS] g*dd*mn it.

The blood was Matt's.

[SIGHS] Oh.

I'm sorry to hear that.

But not surprised.

Anyway, um...

Angela has tasked me
to interview everyone

who saw Matt in the days
before he went missing,

so I just need to ask
you a few questions.

- It won't take long.
- I have to take Harrison

to school, but, uh...

I could stop by the
station during lunch?

Cool. Appreciate that.

Oh, and, uh, Harrison?

Saw you signed up for wrestling.

Yeah. Yeah. Can't wait.

It's related to Matt Caldwell.

No. I just have to ask
him some questions.

Well, you're wasting your time.

Uh, how many interactions
did you have with him

in the week before he went missing?

At The Tavern and again at his party?

- You've done your homework.
- [CHUCKLES]

It's my job.

Uh, any of the... exchanges heated?

[GRUNTS]

- Nah, they were pleasant enough.
- Hmm.

A couple of folks have said that,
um, they'd seen you hunting

in the area he went missing,

but you don't have a hunting license.

Well, I wasn't hunting. I was hiking.

With a g*n?

For protection.

Uh, you identified
the-the r*fle Matt used.

Can you give me any help with this one?

Uh...

a Remington .

There's... [CHUCKLES]

- No.
- Where were you?

- In my cabin.
- Alone?

Well, as you know, until
very recently, I lived alone.

And you were there all day?

Until I went to work, yeah.

So the last time you saw Matt

was at his party?

[CHUCKLES] Yeah, it's not
really my kind of thing,

but Fred wanted me to
deliver the g*n, so...

Hmm.

Wait. Wait, Angela's not...

The woman who gave birth to me

abandoned me right after I was born.

So Angela is my mom.

[HARRISON] That your guitar in the back?

It was my Dad's.

I love playing it knowing
he held it in his hands.

[ENGINE RATTLING]

Oh, and this f*cking car was his, too.

- What's wrong?
- [GROANS] Damn it.

[BRAKES SQUEAKING]

Probably the damn radiator again.

Yep.

Radiator hose split.

[SIGHS] Got to replace it.

What, you know how to do this sh*t?

My mom's paranoid about everything.

Made me learn how to change a tire

as soon as I got my learner's permit.

Great. No bars.

[SIGHS]

You mind going down that road
and calling Jerry's Auto Shop?

Yeah.

- The number's in my phone.
- Okay.

Tell him I need

a three-inch wide, two-foot long
radiator hose and two clamps.

I got you.

I'll pop this hose off so we
can get out of here sooner.

All right. All right.

[PANTING]

[TONETTES' "MY HEART CAN
FEEL THE PAIN" PLAYING]

♪ My heart can feel the pain ♪

[WOMEN VOCALIZING]

Everything all right?

Radiator.

Oh. I, um...

Do you need a ride someplace?

My friend's just up that
hill calling for help.

- Uh-huh.
- He should be back soon.

Well, do you want to wait in
my car until he gets back?

It's warm. Sodas. TV.

I know who you are, Mr. Olsen.

I know the tonnage of CO

your chemical plants release every year.

The millions you've spent
fighting climate science.

Want to be helpful?

Stop f*cking up the planet.

Oh, my.

You know, I find it funny
that you hate me so much,

and here you are driving
this old gas-guzzler.

Some might consider that
hypocritical, but I don't.

People are complicated.

Life's complicated.

One day you'll understand
how the world really works.

You have a good day, Audrey.

Stay safe.

- Any luck?
- [ENGINE STARTS]

The minute I mentioned your mom's name,

Jerry was halfway to his truck.

- [EXHALES]
- [ENGINE REVS]

[SONG PLAYING FAINTLY]

What was that about?

Just Edward Olsen being a billionaire.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[STAMMERING]

[GRUNTS]

[DEXTER] Mine's not the
body I'm looking to hide.

[ROCK THUDS FAINTLY]

Okay. This'll work.

[SIGHS]

I miss this.

The quiet. Calm.

Solitude.

[BEAR GROWLING]

- [PANTING]
- [ROARING]

f*ck!

[PANTING]

f*ck!

[PHONE BUZZING]

[GRUNTS]

[EXHALES]

Hey, you. What's up?

Just seeing if you want to
come over for dinner tonight.

Tonight? Uh...

I'm not sure I'm up for it.

I'm kind of exhausted. Rain check?

I know. I'm exhausted, too.

You think I feel like cooking
for Audrey and Harrison?

- Harrison?
- Yeah.

Audrey invited him over.

[MOUTHING]

If you don't want to come, it's okay.

No, I'd love to come.

I'll come.

[RINGING]

'Sup, Eeth?

I wanted to thank you for today.

Yeah, don't worry about it.

I've always fantasized about
hurting Zach like that,

but you actually did.

[CHUCKLES] f*ck those guys.

They just think they're hard
'cause they hunt and sh*t.

Uh, they don't know anything
about real v*olence.

I got a bunch of drawings
of those assholes.

You want to see?

Thrill me.

[CHUCKLES] What are you, like,
The Punisher or something?

[SCOFFS] They'd be f*cking
scared of me if I was, huh?

f*cking petrified.

[SIGHS]

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [FIRE CRACKLING]

- [DOG BARKS]
- [DEXTER] Bears, dogs.

I miss the days when the only animals

I had to worry about were alligators.

[SIGHS]

And Rusty's dogs spent the day

literally barking up the wrong tree.

They couldn't find sh*t out there.

I saw. I mean, what
do you think it means?

I don't know, but I'm going
to meet Rusty and his dogs

at the crime scene tomorrow.

What do you mean, you saw?

On the Merry f*cking k*ll Instagram.

Can you believe Molly
Park is in Iron Lake?

Who's Molly Park?

Oh, you got to be f*cking kidding me.

[STAMMERS] Let me see that again?

She was in the store today.

She was loading up on winter gear.

I guess she's sticking
around for a while.

Wait, so... so she's a podcaster?

It's only, like, the most popular
true crime podcast out there.

I mean, she has, like, a million
followers on Instagram.

You're into true crime?

It's m*rder, but it's funny.

I'll text you my top five.

So...

I got a call from Abraham Brown today.

He said you guys took a little
drive out to the Reservation.

Did you think I wasn't gonna find out?

I was trying to do the right thing.

By going behind my back?

The way that deer's being treated
is, like, totally f*cked...

messed up.

Even though it's dead,
it still deserves dignity.

[ANGELA] I agree.

[AUDREY] Then why
didn't you do something?

Um, I'm in the middle of
a criminal investigation.

I've been a little busy.

Audz, next time, just come to me

and we can find a solution together.

This isn't some parenting
Jedi Mind Trick.

This is me on your side.

[AUDREY] I spoke with Abraham.

We came up with a plan for the deer.

- Just need you to release it.
- Hmm.

Say we are done with it.

- What's the plan?
- [AUDREY] Gonna do a bonfire...

[DEXTER] Who'd have
thought I would find this.

A family in Iron Lake.

A family that I very nearly lost
because of an impulsive k*ll.

I don't want to lose this.

[HARRISON] ... Jim would
drive his tractor...

[DEXTER] All that's left
is to find a spot to...

[HARRISON] ... move the body.

What?

Y-You could help us move
the deer's body, right?

Your-your truck bed's big enough?

Yeah. Should be.

Hmm. Sounds like a plan.

Great.

'Cause I already told them
we'd be doing it tonight.

Nya:weh sgëno'.

Nya:weh, Angela.

Thank you for agreeing to this.

Of course.

[SPEAKING SENECA]

[DEXTER] Humans have always
dealt with death through rituals.

Guess mine are just a little unique.

Hey, we should go.

Look at them...
as close as people can be.

And here I stand, ten feet

and , miles away from my own son.

I should've stood up for
you at school yesterday.

I was wrong.

Yeah, you were.

Well, from now on,
this is me on your side.

Thanks, Dad.

[DEXTER] "Dad." Wow.

My new favorite word.

[EXHALES]

[GENTLE, EERIE MUSIC]

I only wish the rest of my problems

would go up in smoke.

Wait a minute.

[GRUNTING]

Finally.

Rid of Matt's body for good.

And now back to abstaining.

- [BOLT SLIDES]
- [EXHALES]

[FIRE ROARING, CRACKLING]

But I don't know.

What if it's not the k*lling
that got me in trouble?

What if it's the not k*lling?

[WHOOPS]

That does not look
like a grieving father.

[WHOOPING]

- [KURT LAUGHING]
- What's wrong with this picture?

[KURT MUTTERING]

What'd I do with the... ?

There we go.

Hey, Kurt.

Oh, hey, man.

Hey. Hey.

Did you hear my news?

No. What's the news?

He's alive.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY] Yeah. Matty's alive.

H-How do you know?

Well, he-he called me.

And we had the best talk.

Really great talk.

Must've been amazing to hear his voice.

Oh, yeah, well, I did more
than hear... hear him.

W-We FaceTimed.

FaceTimed.

I actually saw the face

of the son that I thought I had lost.

That's unbelievable.

I know, right?

Hey, come on. Why don't you let me

- give you a ride home?
- I'm just right here...

- I insist.
- Okay.

- You're such a good friend.
- Yeah.

- Geez.
- Matt's ashes.

- I try.
- I bet this is the closest

Matt and Kurt have ever been.

Ah, you're good.

You're good and I am so lucky.

So lucky to...

be surrounded by such great people.

- [DEXTER CHUCKLES]
- [LAUGHS]

- [SIGHS]
- Especially you, Jimmy.

Hey, my Matty's alive!
Can you believe it?

[LAUGHS]

[DEXTER] Actually, no.

And why would he lie?
