New Blood: 01x05 - Runaway

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Dexter: New Blood...

[ANGELA] All I know is,
there are multiple injuries,

and Harrison is involved.

She said you told her something
about a proposed school sh**ting.

Angela. I think you need
to take a look at this.

It's a k*ll list.

[DEXTER] The s*ab wound doesn't match

the story he told Angela.

Something's off.

[MOLLY] She has a young baby

who is in the f*cking
room when she dies.

How f*cked-up is that
kid now? Am I right?

Yeah, I just want to give
a shout-out to Harrison

- for saving all our asses.
- [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Hey, stud. I, uh, got
you a little something

- for keeping our town safe.
- [CHUCKLES]

Wow, that's some, like, real
Carrie from Homeland sh*t.

- He just stabbed me.
- I know.

Then why are you interrogating me?

[MOLLY] Do you think that he
att*cked someone in the woods,

or do you think his dad
is covering for him?

I just need bus fare.

Matt is staying at a hotel in
New York. Run his cards.

[HARRISON] Maybe we're a little
bit hero and a little bit...

- [GRUNTS]
- ... I don't know, monster.

- [g*nsh*t]
- Ethan's telling the truth.

This wound wasn't made
by a hunting Kn*fe.

Harrison brought his own
w*apon to school that day.

He has my Dark Passenger.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[DRIPPING WATER ECHOING]

[DEB] Do you think he remembers?

- He can't.
- You did.

When assh*le drug
dealers with chain saws

dismembered your mother
inside a shipping container

while you sloshed around in her blood.

- You remembered.
- That was different.

He's your child, Dexter.
He's of your flesh and blood.

I want to help him the right way.

Whatever it takes to keep him from...

Becoming me?

What Harry did to you was child abuse.

Teaching you to become a serial k*ller,

and how to get away with it?

Look where the f*ck that got us.

If anyone can guide him
through this, it's me.

Maybe that's why he found me.
Maybe that's why he's here.

You cannot tell him who you are.

It's like giving him permission.

Every day I walk around
this world faking it.

Knowing if someone, if anyone
knew the truth about me,

they'd throw me in the deepest,
darkest pit they could find.

It's so f*cking lonely.

But Harrison, he doesn't
have to live that way.

- If I could just be honest...
- What are you gonna tell him?

There are a hundred garbage bags

with chopped up human beings

at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?!

What the f*ck do you think
that would do to him?

He'd turn out worse than you,

and you are a f*cking monster!

[DOGS BARK]

Ah.

Huh?

You're sh1tting me, right?

Eh, I sh*t you not.

Stay as long as you
like. Meals included.

Oh...

I have to say I'm actually
a pretty good cook.

[CHUCKLES]

Can you actually be this nice?

Oh, well, you know,

I've been lucky in life,

you know, to have more than I need.

And it wasn't always like that, so,

you know, I remember
what that's like, too.

Look, it just would have sat
here empty otherwise, right?

And...

what do you want from me?

I just ask humbly that
you pay it forward.

There a shower in there?

Yeah. And a Jacuzzi tub.

Oh, yeah, I am definitely
paying it forward. [LAUGHS]

Thank you so much.

My pleasure. Really.

Yeah, I could f*cking die
and go to heaven. [LAUGHS]

[SIGHS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[LOCK CLICKS]

Credit card reports for
Matt Caldwell came in.

- And?
- Just like Kurt said,

that m*therf*cker was held
up at the Gramercy Suites

the last three nights.

- Damn it.
- What?

No dead guy, no podcast.

I mean yay, he's alive.

Wait, so he's been eating
five-star room service

while I've had half the town

freezing their asses
off searching for him?

I knew the guy was an assh*le,

- but this is an all-new level.
- Yeah.

I've got half a mind
to drive to the city

and see Matt Caldwell face-to-face.

I'm down.

- Seriously?
- Yeah.

Cue up the Taylor Swift. Let's roll.

At least this way we can put it to bed.

Finally get some closure.

And this would have
nothing to do with you

ambushing Matt to salvage your podcast?

Speaking of closure,

maybe now is a good time to mention

that I've met someone new.

Online. We've only exchanged
a few messages.

He's a flat-earther,
but it's very serious.

You know, actually, it is great timing.

There's a missing persons
conference in the city

- I wanted to go to this weekend.
- Oh, my God, that's perfect.

Maybe we can get some hints on this
Bermuda Triangle you have here.

Problem is, there's no way the
county would approve the cost.

Well, I can expense it. Done.

Logan, you can watch the station, right?

Road trip! Thank God.

No offense, but this town was
getting me a little claustrophobic.

You asked for it.

Dad, you wouldn't believe
what happened in school today.

There was this big assembly,

and everyone was, like, cheering for me.

It was crazy.

You went through my stuff.

We need to talk.

I only carry that for protection.

Protection?

From what?

I-I was on my own for a long time.

Sleeping in the streets.
People do weird sh*t.

The first time I got robbed,
they took everything.

The next time, I was ready.

Okay.

So why'd you take it to school?

I'm not judging you, I just
want to know the truth.

I heard Ethan's side of the story.

It's a hell of a lot
different than yours.

What the f*ck?

You believe some psycho
school sh**t over me?

What do you think I did? Say it.

If you did hurt him...

... on purpose...

... you can tell me.

The rest of this town
thinks I'm a f*cking hero,

and my own dad thinks I'm what?

A liar? An animal?

No. I think you're a kid.

I think you're going through something

that maybe you don't understand.

I just want to help you.
Harrison, you can trust me.

Why the f*ck would I trust you?

You're the one living a lie... Jim.

[GRUNTS]

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

[HIP-HOP PLAYING
INDISTINCTLY ON CAR STEREO]

[ENGINE SHUTS OFF, MUSIC STOPS]

What the f*ck are you doing here?

Dude.

f*ck you, man.

You were f*cking right.

We're dicks. All of us.

Now come on.

What do you say, huh?

Give the bully a hug.

Huh?

- [LAUGHING]
- Yo, we're gonna be late.

For what?

There's a f*cking party tonight, bro.

You're the guest of honor.
Now get in, let's go.

Huh?

Give me a beer.

[ZACH LAUGHS]

Come on, let's go.

Get in.

Hey, Mom.

Harrison's hanging out with
Zach and those guys tonight.

- Is it cool if I meet them?
- It's a school night.

It's Friday.

Oh, come on, I'll make
sure she's home by eleven.

Absolutely. Eleven.

Nya:weh, hakso:t.

- You're welcome, keya:de'.
- It's fine.

[CHUCKLES]

[MIRIAM] Harrison's a good kid.

Everyone's talking about
what he did for the school.

You keep too short a leash on them,

you could lose 'em for good.

We'll be back by Sunday morning.

Nya:weh, Miriam.

I'll take a Jameson, neat.

No IPA tonight?

I'm in the mood for something stronger.

Where's Angela?

Uh, she's down in Manhattan
at some police conference.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

How's your boy?

All the kids are pretty shaken
up after what happened.

He's been better.

I know Harrison's the big hero,
and he did the right thing,

but it still can't be easy

knowing you hurt another human being.

[DEXTER] Or maybe it was too easy.

You know, sometimes
I feel out of my depth.

It's okay to ask for help.

There's a therapist over in Fort Drum.

I had a student a couple years ago.

He helped her.

Maybe he could help Harrison.

You know, if there's things

he's not ready to talk to his dad about.

- Yeah, okay.
- Cool.

Dr. Morris.

- Thanks, Tess.
- No problem.

Come on, let's have a party, huh?

[LAUGHS]

Come on, you guys.

serial K*llers are funny.

[LAUGHS]

I-I, um... I liked it.

You know, some-sometimes
you got to laugh

at the f*cked-up stuff, right?

I mean, look around.

- [GIRL] Chug, chug. Oh!

None of them would be here without you.

- You don't know that.
- Yes, we do.

How does it feel to have
that kind of power?

Life or death.

How... how did they get his list?

I don't know.

Come on.

You know my dad doesn't believe me?

Meaning?

He thinks I'm a liar.

He's the f*cking liar.

What are you talking about?

You know his real name's
not even Jim Lindsay?

Okay. Come on. Come with me.

You believe me, right?

Yeah, I believe you.

Why are you the only person
here who understands me?

Harrison! Harrison!

Oh, my God. Harrison.

Harrison. Wake up.

Wake up. Wake up. Harrison.

Oh, my God. Harrison, wake up!

f*ck. Scott! What the f*ck?!

What was in that f*cking pill?

Oh, f*ck.

Oh, f*ck.

Whoa!

- [BOY] What happened?
- [BOY ] I don't know.

[WOMAN] . What's your emergency?

[LOGAN] Harrison.
Harrison. Stay with me.

[PANTING]

Harrison. Stay with me.

[RELIEVED EXHALE]

Jesus Christ.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Okay, hey, hey, hey, take it slow.

Take it easy.

Is he okay? Is he gonna be all right?

You did the right thing. Just
a few more minutes, and...

Easy. Easy.

Okay, hey, hey.

The Narcan I gave you
will make you woozy.

Hey. Do you know where
you are right now?

I'm at a party...

- at-at the lake.
- Mm-hmm.

I'm-I'm fine.

Everyone can relax.

You need to tell me what you took.

Did you give him the dr*gs?

Coach...

No, I'm not your coach right now.

Tell me what you gave him,

or I'm putting you in cuffs
this f*cking second.

[QUIETLY] All right.

What is this?

Just Oxy.

A bunch of us took them.
Everyone else was fine.

Right now you're going to jail,

possession with the
intent to distribute,

unless you want to tell me exactly
where you got those dr*gs from.

[PULSING, DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[DOCTOR] Law enforcement
found your son OD'd,

approximately p.m.

Administered Narcan.

Patient regained consciousness.

Preliminary tests show the drug
your son OD'd on was fentanyl,

a much stronger, cheaper substitute

for opioids like OxyContin.

Black market pills are
unregulated, homemade.

Sometimes even one pill
can contain a lethal dose.

Your son's lucky.

I'll be right back, okay?

[LOGAN] Apparently,

Scott's brother got the
pills from a street dealer.

We're gonna find him.

- In Iron Lake?
- No. Moose Creek.

Some guy selling fake
Oxy out of a dive bar.

But you know who it is.

So far we just have a first name: Miles.

[TAKES DEEP BREATH]

Harrison's a great kid,

but what he needs right now is some...

some tough love.

Yeah, thanks for the advice.

Oh, Harrison could've d*ed tonight.

Only by the grace of God
and Audrey's quick thinking

is he getting a second
chance, and so are you.

Just back off, Logan.

With all due respect, Jim... no.

You think being the
assistant wrestling coach

makes you a parenting expert?

You have no f*cking idea.

[SMACKS LIPS]

[DEB] He could have d*ed.

You call yourself his father?

You didn't even know
where the f*ck he was.

Look at what you've done to him.

This is all your fault!

You're gonna start seeing a therapist.

Besides therapy, you'll
go two places: home

and school. You got that?

Everybody took those pills.

I don't care about anyone else.

I care about you.

Yeah. Okay.

Whatever you say.

[SIGHS]

[DEXTER] Yeah, whatever you say.

Like that's ever gonna happen.

If you're gonna go into hiding,
this is the place to do it.

- [PHONE RINGING]
- Hmm.

Wait, hang on just a second.

Emergency already? It's barely a.m.

[LOGAN] Uh, yeah, I just want
to be the one to tell you.

Oh, God, what's-what's
wrong? Is Audrey okay?

Audrey's fine.

Um, but there was a party last night,

and some kids were doing dr*gs.

Harrison OD'd.

- What?!
- H-He's okay now.

Jim's all over it.

But, listen...

Audrey was there, too.

She was the one who called us.

She was the voice of
reason. Totally sober.

Without her, this whole thing
might've gone sideways.

- Well, I'm coming home.
- Angela, she's safe.

She's fine.

Oh, come on. Is there just a way
you can check for me real quick?

It's not a big deal. Right?

It's against protocol to give
out any guest's information.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Chief Bishop. Iron Lake PD.

We need to speak with
a Matthew Caldwell.

Can you confirm that he's a guest here?

[TYPING]

Well, the guest you're inquiring about

checked out last night.

Hmm.

Well...

what about security footage?

'Cause I need visual confirmation
that he was actually here.

I can't give you access to that.

It would be an invasion
of the guest's privacy.

Oh, I see.

Okay, well, I'll just have
NYPD issue a warrant.

Get a couple of my buddies
down here before breakfast.

[CHUCKLES] I'm sure a cavalcade of cops

hanging out in your nice lobby
wouldn't spook the guests.

I'll have the I.T. guys
pull the footage.

Come back tonight.

Thank you.

You are a badass and I like it.

You gonna be okay here on your own?

Doctor said I'm fine. I'm fine.

First appointment with the
therapist is this afternoon, right?

Yup.

We're gonna get through this.

Yeah. Okay.

[CHICKENS CLUCKING]

[PATEL GROANS]

Uh, my goat hurt his leg.
Hasn't slept in days.

I was hoping to get something
to give him for the pain.

Oh, sure. There's some
ketamine in the back.

Um, just help yourself.
I'll-I'll bill you later.

You got a couple of syringes, too?

Grab whatever you need, Jim.

[DIALOGUE INAUDIBLE]

Hey, Frankie. Just give me another one.

Are you Miles?

Who's asking?

Heard you might know
where to get some blues.

What are you in the market for?

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

How many you got?

[CHUCKLING SOFTLY]

Follow me outside.

Hang back a sec.

[DEXTER] Sometimes you
have to say yes to dr*gs.

[MILES] So, how much cash you carrying?

[SIREN WHOOPS]

[DEXTER] sh*t.

- Time for plan B.
- The f*ck was that?

[GRUNTING]

Hey, stay away from my son!

[MILES COUGHING]

Tell me that's not the f*cking guy!

Calm the f*ck down!

[HANDCUFFS CLICKING]

- Are you with me, Jim?
- Yeah, I'm with you.

Hey. Follow us back to the station.

- f*cking seriously?
- Fill out some paperwork.

We'll be done by lunch,

and you can get back home to Harrison.

Protocol.

Right.

[GENTLE PIANO AND ORCHESTRA MUSIC]

[SNIFFS]

I think I might head up to
the room and take a nap.

Actually, a massage sounds nice.

I wonder if this place has a spa.

Oh, this is it.

"Finding patterns in

They do have a spa.

[MAN] Ladies and gentlemen,

Miami Metro Homicide
Captain Angel Batista.

[APPLAUSE]

You coming, or what?

Two stars on Yelp.

Yeah, sure. Why not?

Perfect.

[ANGEL] Thank you, everybody.
It's great to be here

in the Big Apple with you all.

It's a little colder than
what I'm used to, but...

Hey, Jim. Really sorry about all this.

It's just a formality.

- Coffee?
- No, thanks.

The worst coffee in Iron Lake.

You know what, Teddy,

I will take that cup
of coffee, actually.

Help yourself.

[SIGHS]

Are you aware of the number of fatal ODs

this county has seen in
the last three months?

- I want a lawyer.
- .

Last night would've been

if I hadn't gotten there in time.

I said I want a lawyer.

And you're damn lucky I did.

Because that kid was one of mine.

And if we had lost him,

I don't know if I would've
pulled his dad off of you

- in that parking lot.
- You can't say that.

That's against the law,
that's bias, that's intimidation.

- You could lose your badge for that, man.
- How many of the dead

did you personally sell pills to?


Because every one I can link to you

will be a homicide charge.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I'm a vengeful dude, Miles.

What's it gonna be?

[DEXTER] Damn, Logan.
Even I feel intimidated.

It's this guy named Jasper Hodge.

He makes the pills himself.

[EXHALES] Jim. Uh,
I-I'm sorry about all this.

I just need a record of you
coming down to the station,

then we can move on from all of this.

It's fine. Really.

Well, Esther will get
you all taken care of,

and then, uh, you're free to go.

- You good?
- Yeah.

But someone named Jasper Hodge

won't be for much longer.

This is the last known
address for Jasper Hodge.

[ESTHER] How long will it take

- to get a warrant?
- [LOGAN] It's Saturday.

The D.A.'s closed, so at least hours.

Jim, I am so sorry about Harrison.

I know you and Ange aren't
Facebook official or anything,

but to me, you're family.

Thanks, Esther.

It means the world.

[GROANING]

The Bay Harbor Butcher was a challenge

for a variety of reasons.

Oh, I did an episode on this once.

They actually thought it was
a cop in the same department.

I mean, can you imagine?

Being right next to a serial k*ller

for, like, years and having no idea?

I don't think so.

It's called Merry f*cking k*ll.

Subscribe. Available on all platforms.

- What?
- Molly.

[ANGEL] ... no clear connection
among the victims.

Then we discovered the link.

They had all committed crimes
they'd gotten away with.

Now, when you find a common
connection among missing people,

it may be that one person

is responsible for all of
their disappearances.

- Hmm.
- [APPLAUSE]

That actually kind of adds up.

Occam's razor.

Sometimes the simplest
explanation is the right one.

- I think I will get that massage.
- [MAN] Okay,

uh, we're gonna open the floor now to,

uh, questions for Captain Batista.

- You're gonna miss me.
- Who wants to go first?

Work on being a good dad.

Harrison almost d*ed
because of this guy.

He doesn't get to just walk away.

And I am a good dad!

I haven't seen you like this before.

This isn't about the Code
or feeding your urges.

This is vengeance.

Yup.

[OPENS ZIPPER]

[DEXTER] Okay, remember
the Code, and do all this

before the Iron Lake PD
gets their act together.

Hell, I should k*ll this guy
just because of the wallpaper.

[DOOR CREAKS]

And...

proof.

[MAN IN VIDEO GAME]
You have a new side mission.

Side mission failed.

[VIDEO GAME WEAPONS f*ring]

You have a new side mission.

[DEXTER] He likes to play games.

[TOILET FLUSHES]

But I'm not here to play.

[LOCK BUZZES, LATCH CLICKS]

[KURT] You're free to
go, Chloe. It's over.

Oh, my...

[PANTING]

[EXHALES]

I said you can go.

Make me!

[GRUNTS]

[CONTINUES PANTING]

[KURT GROANS]

- [GRUNTING]
- [CHLOE WHIMPERING]

[GROANING] No! Aah!

Let me go! No!

No, please, don't-don't hurt me. Please!

No! No! Please, please.

[GRUNTS]

[CHLOE WHIMPERS]

[PANTING] Run, bitch.

[KURT PANTING]

Come on.

Run. Go, or I will k*ll you.

[PANTING]

[PANTING]

Run. Run!

- [YELLING] f*ck!
- No.

No, no. This is not the way
it's supposed to happen. No!

[g*nsh*t]

[PANTING]

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

No. No. No, no.

[PANTING]

You... you ruined everything.

[WHIMPERING]

[g*nsh*t]

[SLOW, SOMBER MUSIC]

[WHIMPERING]

No, no, no, no, no.

[GROANS]

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [JAZZ PIANO PLAYING SOFTLY]

Detective Batista.

Angela Bishop, Police
Chief in Iron Lake.

- Iron Lake?
- It's upstate.

Oh. Nice to meet you.

No bodies?

Just one backpack left in
a truck stop parking lot.

Parents calling, looking
for their daughters.

What's the pattern?

Women, to .

Transients, prostitutes, runaways.

People who wouldn't be
missed by law enforcement.

Not much of a pattern.

But I like your style.

Aggressive, almost... bossy.

I have a boyfriend.

Can he handle you?

He chops his own wood.

Right. That's cool.

So, a dozen women were last seen

within a few miles of my small town.

I know nobody else gives a sh*t,

but my gut is telling me it's
not a g*dd*mn coincidence.

When's the first time you felt that?

The feeling that something is off?

My best friend disappeared
when we were teenagers.

She just walked off down
the highway one day,

never came back.

Listen to your gut.

You find out the why,
you'll find out the who.

Another round?

Promise, purely platonic.

Wouldn't want to find myself
on the wrong end of an a*.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

You know, that... that feeling you have?

It reminds me of another case

back in the day, the Trinity k*ller.

No one understood how
those deaths were related.

So how'd you guys cr*ck it?

A young detective, Debra Morgan,

she always had a gut feeling about it.

Never gave up.

So, maybe she could help us?

She d*ed.

Real f*cked-up situation.

Her brother, too. Tragic, really.

He had a little son.

What was his name?

Ah. I...

Oh, yeah.

Harrison. Cute kid.

[BREATHING DEEPLY]

[CONTEMPLATIVE MUSIC]

[GROANS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[GASPING]

Who the f*ck are you?

I don't know. Your worst nightmare?

Or maybe you're mine.

What? No. [GRUNTING]

Let's just say, you're
a friend of a friend

of a friend of my son's.

It's nice to meet you, Jasper.

[PANTING]

What? What?

What is happening? What? What? What?

No, don't look away.

Those are all people you k*lled.

You're f*cking crazy.
I never k*lled anyone.

Wrong. They all d*ed because
of dr*gs you gave them.

You might be right
about the first thing.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

What are you gonna do to me?

[GRUNTS]

[SCREAMING]

No.

[PANTING RAPIDLY]

[WHIMPERING]

I think you've lived long enough.

They come to me
begging for it, all right.

I'm not forcing it down
anyone's throats!

My son didn't come to you,
and he took one of those pills.

Well, he's a weak f*cking
junkie like the rest of them.

You know, what kind
of dad are you anyway,

if your son was f*cked-up
enough to do that?

You're a weak dad! [GROANS]

- [MUFFLED GROANING]
- [WHISPERING] I am a great f*cking dad.

[MUFFLED CRYING]

[CAR TIRES SQUEALING]

[MUFFLED YELLING, CRYING]

[PANTING]

f*cking Logan.

[MUFFLED WHIMPERING]

[DEXTER GROANS]

[MUFFLED GROANING, CRYING]

[JASPER YELLS]

[WHIMPERING]

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

- [HORN TOOTS]
- [KURT] Hey. Harrison?

What are you doing all the way out here?

Headed out of town, for good.

Oh, really?

How about I buy you a hot meal

before you go on your grand adventure?

Hmm? Deal?

What happened to your face?

Uh, it's a hunting accident.

I'll meet you inside.

[MUFFLED WHIMPERING]

[DEXTER] There are always
sacrifices one has to make

- as a parent.
- [MUFFLED YELLING] No.

Especially the parent of a teenager.

- [MUFFLED GROANING]
- Shh, shh.

You don't always get to
do the things you want

the way you want.

[SNORTING]

But we can make these small sacrifices

for the good of our children.

Hands up! Hands up!
Let me see your hands up!

All the way up!

g*dd*mn it.

[DEXTER] After all, if we can't do that,

we don't deserve to be parents.

He checked out at : last night.

[CLICKS MOUSE]

There he is.

Matt Caldwell.

You're right. There he is.

All checked out.

Sorry to bother you with this, sir.

Thanks so much for your time.

Just, uh...

[PHONE CAMERA CLICKS]

For my records. Thanks again.

[SIGHS]

Who the f*ck was that?

Why would Kurt lie?

- [QUIET CHATTER]
- [UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]

So, you have any money?

[SERVICE BELL RINGS]

I thought you were getting this.

[CHUCKLES] Not for the food.

For your new life.

- Not really.
- Oh.

Well, that's not really
a great plan, is it?

Hitchhiking to God-knows-where
with not a dollar to your name.

It's a dangerous world out there, kid.

How do you think I got to Iron Lake?

Oh.

Look, uh... [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I know things have been complicated

between you and your dad.

Hell, there were times with Matt

when I wanted to write him off entirely.

And our fights were nothing

compared to the blowouts
I had with my old man.

Look, you don't have to do this.

Try and make it better.

What, what's happening between us

has been going on for a long time.

Hey. You know, I've been around
a little bit longer than you,

and I've seen a few things.

So I'm gonna give you a little advice,
whether you like it or not.

Now, in those moments,

when all you see is red,

just go and do something kind

for the person that's pissing you off.

Even if you don't want to,

especially if you don't want to.

Yeah, I think we might be past that.

[SIGHS]

Ah.

Well, take it or leave it.

[TAKES DEEP BREATH]

Run as far and as long as you want,

you can never outrun that rage.

Susan.

- Yeah?
- Could you, uh, get me

one of those applications?

Well, you want a new life?

Start by getting a f*cking job. Here.

I'll give you one.

Why are you being so nice to me?

You must have other places to be.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

You got potential, kid.

I can see it.

Just pay it forward.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

You're not mad?

No.

I'm just glad you're okay.

I mean, I know what happened was scary.

Harrison's gonna be okay.

Scott's not in trouble.
I mean, any more than usual.

No one's gonna be mad at you.

You saved Harrison's life.

[SIGHS] Whatever.

So, what's bothering you?

Harrison said something weird.

Right before he passed out.

Okay.

He said his dad's name
isn't Jim Lindsay.

Hey.

You hungry?

I'm good.

How was therapy?

You like the doctor?

Actually, it-it felt great
to talk to someone.

Well, that's great to hear.

I'm gonna go lie down.
Doctor said to get some rest.

Of course.

Are you sure you don't want any dinner?

[DEXTER] We think we
have it all figured out.

We think we can control things.

Fix them.

That we can keep life moving
forward on the path we've chosen.

[INTRIGUING MUSIC]

- [BEEPS]
- [PRINTER WHIRRING]

But all that's standing
between us and chaos

is a tiny, fragile thread.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Cut that thread,

and we're all just falling into space.
