New Blood: 01x06 - Too Many Tuna Sandwiches

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Dexter: New Blood...

Harrison! Harrison!

[INTRIGUING, DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You're gonna start seeing a therapist.

Besides therapy, you'll
go two places: home

and school. You got that?

[ANGELA] 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?

[CLERK] There he is. Matt Caldwell.

Who the f*ck was that?

Why would Kurt lie?

You ruined everything.

[GRUNTS]

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

and my own dad thinks I'm what?

Now, in those moments,

when all you see is red...

A liar? An animal?

... go and do something kind

for the person that's pissing you off.

When's the first time you felt that?

The feeling that something is off.

My best friend disappeared.

[HARRISON] Oh, by the way.

Coach Logan said I made
the wrestling team.

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

[DEB] I used to do the same thing

after royally f*cking up as a kid.

Anything to get on
Dad's good side again.

I'm not angry about Harrison's OD.

Just worried.

[INHALES]

You think therapy was the right call?

Few more sessions, he'll be
bringing you breakfast in bed.

What?

I'm proud of you.

You're doing the right thing.
Not like Harry did.

[SIGHS]

_

[DEB] Let him show it to you on his own.

This is not a good idea.

Well, maybe it's not
as dire as you think.

My son working for the
father of my last victim?

Seems pretty dire.

And that's the f*cking problem, right?

No one can live with a
m*therf*cking psycho

- who's addicted to m*rder.
- [DOOR OPENS]

[EXHALES] It's cold as hell out there.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- [SIGHS]

You got to admit, though, it's-it's
pretty sweet having a forest

for a backyard.

I appreciate you doing the chores.

I got some good advice yesterday.

Figured I'd try it out.

A-And I know I've been a little...
negative since I got here,

but I-I really do appreciate everything.

Giving me a place to stay...

Sticking out of your bag.

Yeah. Uh, I was gonna tell you.

Uh, I n-need your
signature on it, actually.

You know, if this is about extra money,

I could pay you for the chores.

No, that's not it. I... could
use a little independence.

I ran into Kurt. He told me he
needed someone to do odd jobs.

Just washing trucks. It's nothing major.

I'm not sure a truck stop's the
best place for your first job.

- Why not?
- Well, it might not be that safe.

I spent a lot of time at truck
stops on my way here.

You know, when I was searching for you.

I never had a problem I couldn't handle.

Yeah. [SIGHS] I don't know.

I don't always get the best
feeling from Kurt Caldwell.

Kurt?

Well, maybe I know him better than you.

A-Are you gonna sign this or not?

Sorry. We'll work something else out.

Maybe you can pick up a
weekend shift at Fred's.

Y-You abandoned me,

and now you get to make all
my decisions? [CHUCKLES]

[SIGHS]

You know, I didn't go
to therapy last night.

I talked to Kurt.

He's the one who convinced me to
do your stupid f*cking chores.

You should be thanking him.

I'm taking the job.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DEXTER] Why is Kurt Caldwell
suddenly so interested

- in my son?
- [DOOR CLOSES]

Yes, mistress. Officer. Sorry. Uh...

- [GLOVE COMPARTMENT OPENS]
- Not that one.

[GLOVE COMPARTMENT CLOSES]

The one for Dexter Morgan.

[TENSE, DRAMATIC MUSIC]

_

Drive directly to the station.

I'll follow to make sure
you don't get lost.

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

[ENGINE STARTS]

Whatever you did, hon, just say sorry.

[LOGAN] Welcome to the club, man.

I got a Spotify breakup
playlist for later.

Technically, faking your
death isn't a crime.

That's not what this is about.

You've been lying to me
since the first day we met.

This has nothing to do with you.

What the hell is it about, then?

What, are you running from something?

I was running.

Running from death.

From all the k*lling.

My wife, Rita...

Harrison's mother...

was m*rder*d.

And then my sister,

Deb.

The closest person to me in the world.

And it was all just...

... too much.

Look, I know you understand
what grief does to you.

With your husband and Iris.

But you're stronger than I am.

I couldn't go back to homicide

with all the blood and v*olence and...

hopelessness.

I couldn't be Dexter Morgan anymore.

He was cursed.

And I wasn't gonna pass
that curse down to Harrison.

So I drove my boat into that hurricane.

[EXHALES]

I wanted to die.

But somehow, I survived.
And I took it as a sign

that I could start over.

And so I did.

As Jim Lindsay.

For the first time in my
life since I left Miami,

I'm happy.

I never thought that was possible.

This life with you

and now with Harrison...

It's what I've always needed.

[SIGHS]

I'm sorry I lied to you.

I never meant to hurt you. Or anyone.

Every time I called
you Jim, it was a lie.

You turned my life into a lie.

And Harrison.

After you abandoned him.

[EXHALES]

- And I'm making that right.
- But maybe you can't.

No wonder he's having so much trouble.

Your issues are becoming his issues.

If you want a real
relationship with him,

you should start by acknowledging that.

I will.

I've gotten him into therapy.

You're the one who needs therapy.

To even have a chance at a
real relationship with him.

[DEXTER SIGHS]

Or-or anyone.

Are you breaking up with me?

All I know is relationships
are built on trust.

How can I ever trust you, Jim?

Or Dexter.

Whoever the f*ck you are.

Maybe we can talk about
this over dinner tonight?

I-I don't want any more
time with Jim right now.

[SIGHS]

Are you gonna keep my secret?

[SCOFFS]

Oh, God, just go.

[DEXTER] Who could've found me out?

Ah. 'Sup, Big Guy?

[DEXTER] A true crime-obsessed podcaster

from out of town?

Could be.

All right.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- So, I was thinking,

the best version of the story

is if Kurt had something to do

with Matt's disappearance, right?

I-I have no idea what you're
talking about right now.

Honestly, it's just not a good time.

Kurt has no idea that you
and I are working together.

What if I interviewed him?

Caught him in a lie? It would be huge.

Think Robert Durst's
confession on The Jinx.

But with an Asian lead.

Molly, the last thing I need right
now is you spooking a suspect

before I've built a case against him.

Well, yeah. I mean, I'm gonna
be wearing, like, a wire.

- He'll never know.
- You need to stay away from Kurt Caldwell.

Do not talk to him.

Do not go near him.

Fine.

Guess I'll just go back
to my shitty hotel room

and not pursue the
biggest story of my life.

[SIGHS]

[BREATHING DEEPLY]

[TENSE, DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Excuse me, could you
spare a few dollars?

Uh, yeah.

Oh, thank you.

[KURT] Hey.

I'm Kurt. I own this place.

- Sorry. I'll move on.
- No.

I don't need you to leave. It's okay.

Just want to make sure you're all right.

You need anything?

Few bucks or, uh, some food or anything?

- Um, really?
- Yeah.

That is so sweet. Thank you.

- Sure.
- Um, I'm Winnie.

Winnie.

Where's home, Winnie?

Uh, Maine. Near the Canadian border.

Uh, heading all the way
to San Diego, though.

Got to get out of this f*cking snow.

[LAUGHS] Yeah, I hear that. Yeah.

So, uh, look, I-I have to
finish up around here,

but, uh, can I give you
a ride somewhere?

Maybe move you a little
further down the road?

Um, yeah. That'd be great, actually.

- Let me just...
- [MAN] Babe!

Oh, there's my boyfriend.
I hope that's cool.

- [SIGHS]
- [MAN] I got us a ride

all the way to Indianapolis,

but we got to leave now.

- Thank you for the cash.
- [KURT] Yeah.

- [WINNIE] You're a good guy.
- Okay.

- [WINNIE] Bye.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]

f*ck.

[EXHALING DEEPLY]

Mr. Caldwell.

Harrison. What's up?

Uh, I-I wanted to thank you
for the talk last night.

- Yeah.
- And, um...

And I decided I wanted the job.

Oh, great.

[PAPER RUSTLES]

Uh, your, uh, your
father didn't sign this.

Is he okay with it?

He-he isn't.

And I don't give a sh*t.

Okay, then.

[PEN CLICKS]

Is that Lindsay with an
A-Y or Lindsey with an E-Y?

Uh, A-Y.

"Jim Lindsay." A-Y.

Great. Welcome to the team.

Yeah? Just like that?

Yeah, just like that.

Can you start tomorrow?

Um...

I, um... Actually, there... I have
a-a big wrestling match then.

Um, it-it's my first one.

Oh, yeah? I didn't know you
were on the wrestling team.

I've been a big supporter since
my son, Matt, was the captain.

Great. Okay. Well, no problem.
You start the day after.

Hey, and if I can, I'll
try to make the match.

_

[DEXTER] Could she know
the truth about me?

My other family...

_

[INTRIGUING, DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[MOLLY] Finishing up our Sunshine
State m*rder extravaganza,

and I've saved the best for last.

The Bay Harbor Butcher.

You know the nickname,
and you know what he did.

Dismembered his victims,

bagged the bloody bits in Heftys
and tossed 'em in the Bay.

Dozens of bodies strewn
across the ocean floor.

[DEXTER] Ah, the good old days.

[MOLLY] Make no mistake.

This m*therf*cker was
one of the most brutal,

prolific serial K*llers of all time.

And get this. His victims
were usually criminals

who'd gotten away with it.

That's some Batman-level vigilante sh*t.

And it's why Miami Metro Homicide

came to believe the Butcher
was one of their own:

Sergeant James Doakes.

But what if they were wrong?

'Cause here's the thing.
I did some digging on Reddit.

I found a guy who claims he
did Special Ops with Doakes.

He says Doakes was out of the country

doing classified sh*t when some
of the BHB killings took place.

But the powers that be
were more than happy

to close an embarrassing
case down after...

wait for it...

Doakes got blown up
in an Everglades cabin

before he could be arrested!

As one does in Florida.

Well, maybe the police didn't
want to keep investigating

the biggest case in Miami Metro history,

but I f*cking do.

Because if I'm right,

the Bay Harbor Butcher
could still be out there.

Still feeling all butchery.

Still a thr*at.

[DEXTER] I do feel a little butchery.

_

She could definitely be Angela's source.

[ZACH] Hey, yo.

- Glad you're okay, bro.
- Thanks, man.

See you at the match.

We're gonna k*ll those f*cking guys.

f*ck Moose Creek!

- [CHUCKLES]
- Harrison. Hey.

- Hey.
- Been looking for you.

- How are you doing?
- I'm... I'm good.

Is your dad, like, totally pissed?

You grounded until college?

- Mm, not grounded.
- [CHUCKLES]

I'm fine.

You're becoming a bit of
a legend around here.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Since you're not grounded,

maybe we can hang tonight?

No k*ll List parties this time.

Maybe something a bit mellower? Like...

studying for the chem quiz?

Yeah. Sounds cool.

[PHONE CHIMES]

_

sh*t.

Uh...

Actually, uh, no, I-I can't. Um...

My dad's making sure I
go to this therapy thing.

But, uh, another night? Soon?

For sure.

Cool.

[MORRIS] I'm glad you're here.

So, what would you like to
get out of this session?

Well... [SIGHS] Uh...

It's been a whirlwind
since Harrison arrived.

We've had a few bumps in the road.

Some trouble at school.

Then his overdose.

Could use some tips on how to
communicate better, I guess.

What do you think, Harrison?

I-I think our problems started
a long time before I got here.

It hasn't exactly been
easy being Jim's son.

What do you mean by that?

Brace yourself.

[HARRISON] Well, when I was five, uh,

my stepmom told me my dad was dead.

So we-we left the country,

just me and my stepmom, Hannah.

And then she d*ed, too.

But for real.

Of cancer.

And then I-I went into foster care,

which was its own special hell.

And I would lie awake at night

and dream that my dad was alive

and that he-he'd come take
me away from all this sh*t.

And then, one day, I found his letter.

The one that he wrote to Hannah
saying that he was alive

and that he'd, like, abandoned us.

Me.

And wasn't coming back.

So, when I was old enough, I took off.

Searching for him.

I wanted answers.

I wanted to look him in
the eye and ask him

how he could pretend like
I didn't f*cking exist.

[SOMBER, DRAMATIC MUSIC]

There have been bumps in the road

since I got here?

Maybe that's why.

Maybe that's why I got high, too.

To forget all this sh*t for a while.

[MORRIS] Hmm.

How would you respond to that, Jim?

It was a difficult time.

For everyone.

I wish things had been different.

[MORRIS] Well, thanks for your honesty.

But for this to work,

you're going to have
to dig a little deeper.

The problem is the only people
you're ever honest with,

you end up k*lling.

[DEXTER CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Kurt Caldwell.

- What the hell are you hiding?
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- [LOGAN] Um...

If you ever want to
talk about anything...

Um, Jim?

Nope.

Actually, Logan?

If you promise not to talk
about Jim or relationships,

I do have something I'd
like to pick your brain on.

Yeah.

Matt Caldwell.

Our past informs our present

and, by extension, our future.

I've always loved that quote
from the movie Magnolia.

Um, "We may be through with the past,

but the past isn't through with us."

- Yeah, I didn't see that one.
- [MORRIS] Hmm.

Aren't we supposed to be talking
about my dreams or something?

[CHUCKLES]

I was thinking we could talk a
bit about your past, actually.

- [DEXTER EXHALES]
- Your childhood.

[DEB] Where to begin, Dex?

The fact that you're talking to
your dead sister right now

in this room?

Or your mother being
chopped up in front of you?

Or your adoptive cop dad

teaching you to be a
serial k*ller? [CHUCKLES]

You should talk.
They're waiting for you.

It was a typical childhood.

Average.

I was adopted when I was young.

I don't remember much before that.

[MORRIS] You both share
abandonment issues.

A pain like that shapes
a person for years.

Some believe it can even be passed down.

Inherited trauma.

Tell me about your adopted family.

Um, my adopted mother d*ed
when I was in high school.

But my dad, Harry, was great.

Uh, so was Deb, my sister.

I went to college. Got a job.

Married Harrison's mom.

That marriage sort of fell apart,

and I ended up moving
around for a while.

The marriage fell apart?

Uh, m-my mom was k*lled
by a serial k*ller.

[DEXTER] But...

You don't...

He was so young.

You don't remember anything about it.

Do you?

[QUIET, DRAMATIC MUSIC]

No.

Just the, uh, just the f*cked-up
sh*t I heard online.

[DEXTER EXHALES]

How do you feel about what
happened back then, Jim?

Uh...

It was a long time ago.

I guess I've made my peace.

How are you feeling right now?

Abandoned.

[MORRIS] That's understandable.

- After everything you've been through...
- Mm, no.

No. I-I mean... abandoned here.

On this couch.

[EXHALES]

Okay, if Matt wasn't in
that hotel in New York,

- who was?
- Don't know.

Kurt had some behemoth
check in under Matt's name.

I'm pretty sure he's got his
son hidden away somewhere.

Look, I know all this sh*t,
it sounds sketchy.

But I've known Kurt my whole life.

- Doesn't change what he did.
- [SIGHS] Look, all I'm saying

is when I lost my dad in that car crash,

Matt and Kurt Caldwell
were there for me.

All the way through
graduating the Academy.

And I can't say that for
everyone in this town.

I know this is hard for you.

But I need you to stay objective

- with me here.
- Well, I-I don't get it.

Kurt pushed us to keep the search going.

He did until he didn't.
And that was what day?

Uh, here.

Okay.

And then the next day,
we were going to search by...

Clarke Caves.

And Kurt wanted us to stop
looking 'cause Matt was alive.

Or maybe there's something out there

- he didn't want us to find.
- Oh, come on.

[SIGHS]

Just go with me on this.

[LOGAN EXHALES]

What if... What if Matt's dead

and Kurt's hiding his body out there?

You think Kurt k*lled his own son?

I'm not saying it was on purpose.

Look, Matt comes home drunk
after being on a bender.

He confesses to k*lling the deer.

Wants Daddy to bail him out. Again.

Things get heated.

So Kurt lied for a reason.

So...

We're going to search up
at Clarke Caves tomorrow.

Okay.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, right.

You're coaching that wrestling match

against Moose Creek tomorrow night.

[LOGAN] Mm-hmm.

Hey, Teddy?

How do you feel about
a trip to the Caves?

- Sign me up.
- [LOGAN] No, no, no,

no, no. I-I-I can change
some things around.

- It's...
- No, no, we got it.

You just make sure your boys
kick Moose Creek's ass.

[SIGHS]

I'm gonna eat in my room. Homework.

Come on. [EXHALES]

Just eat with me. Let's talk.

If you won't talk about real sh*t

in therapy, why would
this be any different?

- [SIGHS] sh*t.
- [DOOR CLOSES]

[SNIFFLES]

[DEXTER] I can't just be
another story on your podcast.

What do you know, Molly Park?

[SIGHS]

Hey. You want to grab a drink?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

So, thanks for coming.

Since you've known Angela
longer than I have,

I thought maybe you
could give me some tips

on how to patch things up with her.

[POP MUSIC PLAYING]

You came to the right guy.

- Okay.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

You have no idea how many
books I've read about this.

Okay, okay. Number one.

As much as you may want to,

don't go jump into some
rebound relationship.

It just makes things awkward

when you're trying to get back together.

- I've been there.
- No rebound. Check.

Then you and Angela
have to have what I call

a trust chat.

- A trust chat?
- Yeah.

Obviously, you've broken
her trust in some way.

So schedule a time

and talk about what it means to...

to trust each other. Hmm?

- Hmm?
- Yeah, this is good.

- [LAUGHS]
- This is good.

[LOGAN BREATHES DEEPLY]

Molly is lucky to be dating you.

Yeah. Yeah.

Turns out, um, I had to use the
breakup playlist with her, too.

No! What happened?

I don't know, Jim.
I-I thought we had a connection.

Well, if she's not here for you,
then why is she sticking around?

I mean, with Matt being alive and all?

Is she planning on some
new story or something?

Oh, that's a good question.

Molly and Angela have
been meeting in secret,

working on something.

Angela hasn't told you?

[DEXTER] I'm doomed.

[ACOUSTIC GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING]

[WINDOW OPENS]

[OMINOUS, DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Harrison?

[SIGHS] You know my mom's a cop, right?

You know how to use nunchucks?

Mom showed me a lot of Bruce
Lee movies when I was little.

What are you doing here?

Uh, couldn't sleep.

Can't get out of my head.

I thought maybe, um...

you'd want to, I don't know... talk?

Come here.

What's up?

Um...

I-I went to a therapist
with my dad today.

It all seemed so useless.

I'm just so angry.

Like, like, all the time.

I can't shake it.

A lot of bad sh*t has happened to you.

If my dad dumped me like my bio mom did

so he could just do his own thing?

I'd be a f*cking rage machine.

I don't know. I...

I think about...

... hurting people.

Like with Ethan.

I mean, that was different.

You had to.

And you saved us.

Yeah, well, th-that
wasn't my first time.

Hurting someone.

On-on my way up here from Florida,

some assh*le tried to touch me

while I was asleep at a bus station.

Someone molests me, they get
chucks upside their head.

You were protecting yourself.

Totally normal.

I don't know. I...

I think about hurting...

... everyone.

All the time.

I get it.

Even though I was a baby
when my bio mom left us,

it still screwed with my head.

I mean, if your own mother ditches you,

that kind of rejection is hard to shake.

It's so hard not to feel mad
at the world all the time.

It was just me and my dad for a while.

Then Dad met Angela. Thank God.

They married, and she adopted me.

Thank God.

I finally had a real mom.

But then when Dad d*ed...

... that's when the major anger set in.

I mean, what the f*ck?

Right?

Right.

Mom... Angela...

brought me here to Iron Lake.

This amazing and beautiful
place where she had family.

And I thought I'd found
my community, you know?

The Seneca Nation.

But because my bio mom was white

and only my dad had Seneca ancestry,

it feels like I don't belong anywhere.

Always outside looking in.

That's the type of thing
that fucks you up.

We're outsiders, you and me.

But it doesn't have to destroy us.

[GENTLE, WISTFUL MUSIC]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[ANGELA] Honey?

I've got to take off early today. I...

- Uh, hi, Mrs. Bishop.
- That's Chief Bishop.

Get dressed and go to my car.

Your son was in my daughter's
bed this morning.

[DEXTER] Wait.

What?

Handle this.

Harrison, you cannot just sneak
out in the middle of the night.

- And you certainly can't...
- Did you even know I was gone?

So, you had no idea.

Zero.

You think I stand over your bed
and watch over you all night?

My teenage son? Is that what you want?

I got to get ready for school.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SIGHS] What should I do?

If you don't know,
then I certainly don't.

[SCOFFS SOFTLY]

We can only hope that
they used protection.

'Cause there's one thing
I guaran-f*cking-do-know

and that is that you are not
ready to be a grandfather.

- [LAUGHS]
- At least I don't have to have

the sex talk with him.

God, that would've been awful.

There's not much you can
say to him right now, right?

So let things calm down.

You know? Just give him some space.

Feed him some breakfast.

And then take care of
this Molly situation.

[SIGHS] I can't let Molly
take all this away.

[LOW, SOMBER MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[DEXTER] Serial k*ller podcaster

the man whose son I k*lled?

Perfect.

[SIGHS DEEPLY]

- Right.
- And she...

- [EXHALES]
- Hey, Jim.

Oh, hey, Kurt.

What kind of trouble
are you two brewing?

Oh, we're just sh**ting the sh*t.

[CHUCKLES]

It's not every day you get to yak it up

with a for-real radio star.

Ah, no, podcast star.

- Radio's dead.
- [BARTENDER] Hey, Jim.

- Usual?
- You know what?

I just found out that too
much tuna is bad for ya.

- I'll take a pastrami on rye.
- You want fries with that?

Yeah. Let's live dangerously.

[KURT] So, this-this podcasting thing...

that's what brought you
to our little town, is it?

[MOLLY] No.

- [KURT] Oh?
- It was your son.

His going missing.

You know, my instincts told me

that something more was going
on than just a dead deer.

[KURT] Well, you must've
been pretty disappointed

when he ended up alive
and well in New York then.

Yeah, Molly. Why did you stay?

[MOLLY] About that...

You know, I went to...

What was the place called?
The Gramercy Suites.

To interview Matt.

He wasn't there.

You know, this despite
the fact that you said

you had FaceTimed with him?

[CHUCKLES]

[DEXTER] So it isn't
the Bay Harbor Butcher.

It's still Matt.

But the last thing I need is
for her to devote a podcast

to "Where in the World
is Matt Caldwell?"

[KURT] Okay. You caught me.

Matt was never in New York City.

And I lied about FaceTiming with him.

But the truth is...

my f*ck-up of a son

showed up at my lodge drunk

and a real mess.

This, after all these good people

had been out looking for him for...

a week in the cold.

So why the lie?

[DEXTER] Yeah, Kurt. Why the lie?

[KURT] Well, I didn't want
the tribe coming after him

for sh**ting some stupid white deer.

And half the people pissed off

that they went looking for
him to begin with. I mean,

I... Look, maybe it was a bad decision.

I don't know.

So where is he now?

[KURT] He's hiding out.

At my cabin.

[DEXTER] Okay, that's impossible.

[KURT] Been in the family
for four generations.

Kind of off-the-grid.
Nobody really knows about it.

Look, uh...

how 'bout if I make you a deal?

I f*cking love making deals.

[KURT] So, what if I take
you out to the cabin

and you can ask Matt whatever
you want to ask him?

I mean, the only thing is
you can't tell anybody

where you're going, where Matt's hiding.

Especially not the local PD.

At least not until his
side of the story is out.

What do you say?

Yes and yes.

- Yeah?
- Mister, you got yourself a deal.

I'm gonna grab my things.
I'll see you outside.

Attagirl. Good.

[DEXTER] What the hell is Kurt doing?

[LOW, SOMBER MUSIC]

[BRAKES SQUEAK]

[GEARSHIFT CLICKS]

[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]

No electric wires coming in.

Generator.

Propane t*nk for power.

This place is as off-the-grid
as they come.

[LOW, OMINOUS MUSIC]

This is serial k*ller .

Lure potential victim out to the sticks.

Make sure they don't tell
anyone where they went.

My instincts aren't
what they used to be.

Too many f*cking tuna sandwiches.

Hang on one second. Sorry.

[DEXTER] It's not like it'd be my fault

if Molly were to disappear.

It'd almost be poetic.

[KURT CHUCKLES]

[GRUNTS]

There we are. Okay.

Yeah. Okay, he's right down here.

He's just in here.

[KNOCKING]

Hey, Matt?

You decent? [CHUCKLES]

Somebody here wants to talk to you.

Matt?

He must have his headphones
in or something.

Uh...

Hey, Matt! It's-it's Molly Park,

from the Merry f*cking k*ll podcast.

Wait, what? That's-that's
the name of your pod show?

Yeah. I-It's a play on the
Marry, f*ck, k*ll game.

Oh.

Oh, yeah. I get it.

- [LOUD CLANGING]
- Jesus Christ!

[DEXTER GRUNTS]

Is everything okay down here? Uh...

Hey, Kurt. I was just driving by.

I saw some people prowling
around the cabin.

Just wanted to make sure it wasn't
a bunch of high school kids

breaking in to party or something.

That's awful nice of you, Jimbo.

What brings you out in my
neck of the woods, though?

Just driving.

[EXHALES] Blowing off steam.

Kid's making me crazy.

[EXHALES]

What are you two doing down here?

Well, this is my cabin.
I was just showing it to Molly.

- Oh.
- Matter of fact, we were just heading out,

- weren't we?
- Uh, no.

No. Matt's hiding out in here.

- Kurt said that I can interview him.
- Matt's in there?

- I'd love to say hi.
- Look, let me see if, uh...

Matt!

Matt, open up!

[CLICKS TONGUE, SIGHS]

Dumb kid must've left. [CHUCKLES] Yeah.

Well, we might as well take off as well.

- Come on.
- Ah, you came all this way.

Might as well check.

Wow.

This place is a beaut.

The door locks from the outside.

A camera. He likes to watch.

Could Kurt be the k*ller
Angela's been looking for?

You know, Harrison would
really love a place like this.

Place of his own.

How long did it take you
to put this room in?

Oh.

I don't really remember.

[EXHALES]

Bathroom?

What is it about serial
K*llers and bathtubs?

Jacuzzi.

Nice.

No, you're right. No Matt.

Yeah, sorry about that, Molly.

Dumb kid just must've left.

You know, he's a f*cking mess.

So, uh... Well, thanks a lot for
looking out the way you did.

Hope to return the favor sometime.

Ah, that's the great
thing about Iron Lake.

Hey, you want me to
give you a ride back?

Seeing how Kurt's already home and all.

Yes. Please.

- Want me to close this?
- No. It's okay.

'Kay.

Jimbo, Molly?

This thing about Matt stays
between the three of us, okay?

You betcha.

Well, it certainly is remote.

Not a lot of winter spelunking.

It's the perfect place to hide a body.

You all right?

Oh, yeah. That whole
"finding a body" thing?

If we do,

it'll be my first one.

Doesn't matter if it's
your first or your tenth.

Never gets easy.

[SIGHS]

[DRIPPING SOUNDS]

[MOLLY] Back there, before you arrived,

you know, that whole sh*t
show in the basement of a...

lonely, off-the-grid cabin in the woods,

really started to feel
like that I was gonna be

an episode in my own podcast.

[DEXTER] You have no idea.

Anyway, I'm really glad you
showed up when you did.

What do you think is up with Matt?

I don't know.

Weird is what it is. f*cking weird.

Listen, I know this is a...
shitty thing to ask, but...

Angela,

she told me to stay out of
the whole Kurt/Matt situation.

- Mum's the word.
- Thank you.

Right. [EXHALES]

And, for the record, I hope you
and Angela work your sh*t out.

Me, too.

It looks like I'm the good guy to Molly.

And Kurt is definitely the serial k*ller

Angela has been looking for.

It's never good to k*ll the family
member of a serial k*ller.

- [SIGHS]
- [PHONE CHIMES]

Harrison's wrestling match.

sh*t.

[DRIPPING SOUNDS]

Teddy.

Strange, right?

It looks man-made.

You think that's hiding something?

What did you say about
winter spelunking?

[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]

[WHOOPING]

[TESS] Jim!

[CHEERING, SHOUTING]

Best seats in the house.

And unlike the rest of the bleachers,

a backrest.

Ah.

[INHALES SHARPLY]

How's Dr. Morris working out?

Uh, Harrison's not completely fixed yet.

[CHUCKLES]

Harrison's a great kid.

He'll get there.

- Yeah.

[ANGELA] Just in case.

[EXHALES]

[DRIPPING SOUNDS]

I might have something!

[GASPS]

Teddy, get in here now!

[CHEERING]

How you doing? Good to see you.

What do you know, Coach?

Got a good team, huh?

- Yeah. Great team.
- Yeah.

[CHEERING]

Look, son, um, Jeremy
made it to the semifinals

at the state championships last year.

That was last year. This is this year.

You got this, kid.

[CHEERING]

Honestly, just getting through the match

is a win in my book. Okay?

- Okay.
- Yeah?

All right. Come on.

Huddle up! Let's go, let's go, let's go!

[BARKING]

Kurt's been a sports booster forever.

Practically the assistant coach.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Stop. Enough.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

I am so proud of you.
You did good. You did good.

So proud.

[BOOING, CLAMORING]

Give it a f*cking rest.

- What, you want to go? Is that it?
- Hey!

Can somebody around here
act like a f*cking adult?

What is wrong with you?

Jim, the two of you need to go now.

What is your problem with Kurt, Dad?

- [PHONE RINGS]

Why? He's a good guy.

He-he cares about me.
He doesn't accuse me

of being a f*cking psycho.

[PHONE RINGS]

Just answer it!

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

If he cares about you so much,

what did he say to you before
you broke that kid's arm?

Nothing. H-He said, "J-Just go get him."

- It's called coaching.
- He told you to hurt him. Right?

[PHONE RINGING]

[SIGHS]

It's Angela. I have to take it.

Oh, great.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

It's Jim. You okay?

I don't need Jim.

I need Dexter Morgan.
