Previously on Dexter: Original Sin
- [RIVAS] Problem?
- [DEXTER] Yeah, no blood.
So how'd it go yesterday?
It didn't give me the
feeling I thought it would.
I heard about some party
at Delta Alpha something.
- I'll represent.
- One condition.
You take your brother.
- Where's the keg?
- We can do better.
Deb! [SCREAMS]
[GRUNTING]
[PANTING]
There was a knife on the bar.
[GRUNTS]
More than anything in my whole life
I wanted to take that knife.
- [PANTING]
- Dad?
The next few days of Harry's
hospitalization were odd.
[DEXTER] Why is my father getting worse?
It's never easy seeing
a loved one in pain.
[DEXTER] I had been hanging around
a real-deal serial killer all this time.
She also had a Dark Passenger.
Harry saw it, too.
Stop
her.
[DEXTER] I'd been waiting
to hear those words for so long.
[MUFFLED SCREAM]
You've earned yourself
a job offer, D-Money.
A paid internship.
Dexter. Welcome to the first day
of the rest of your life.
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC]

[DEXTER] My first day at my first job.
Flush with the glow of my first kill.
I felt
- high.
- [TANYA] Hi.
You know, Dr. Rivas told me
you had the best grades he's ever seen.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] Well
We don't do grades here.
This is the major leagues, Dexter.
There are major consequences.
You make one mistake,
and a killer goes free.
[DEXTER] She was a woman
after my own heart.
You want a tour of Forensics?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] I'd love one.
Okay.
Computers, microscopes,
uh, lab supplies,
file cabinets,
fax machine.
Boom. Tour's over.
Uh, where's the rest?
Uh, even my college had
an ion mobility spectrometer.
Welcome to Miami Metro.
We have the highest murder rate
in the country,
and I have to sell a kidney
for a box of pens.
But, good news,
you do get one of these bad boys.
Have it on you at all times.
- [PAGER BEEPS, BUZZES]
- I own you now.
[DEXTER] I never liked
being kept on a leash.
- Well, put me to work, Boss.
- [SCOFFS]
Easy, baby tiger.
I need to go follow up
on some autopsy results.
Masuka will give you the game plan.
[DEXTER] One could only hope
my workload would get
more challenging.
Don't touch anything.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
What you doing, Dexedrine?
Uh, just not touching anything.
What?
Tanya told me to
Never mind. Uh, nothing.
I-I'm doing nothing.
Well, she's the boss.
Unless she's gone.
Then you answer to me.
I'm the number two around here.
So, that makes me the number three?
You're not even a number yet.
[BOY GRUNTING]
Let me go, please.
I want to go home.
No.

No, don't leave me here!

I had to give up smoking,

[ALL] Ah
Hey, Sarge, have you heard
about Judge Powell's kid?
No, what?
Reported missing.
Yeah, feels like a kidnapping, though.
I think it's the cartel.
Powell's put a lot
of those bastards away.
Could be payback.
[SPENCER] You two are now officially
the new leads on the Estrada case.
Appreciate the opportunity, sir.
- Yeah, we'll knock it out the park.
- Damn right you will.
Miami is overflowing with cocaine.
If we don't get a handle on this,
we're gonna be in a world
of powdered shit.
Now, the department needs
an informant who can gain insight
into the Estrada organization.
We've been unable to flip
any of the Colombians, so
we need a new way in.
Someone who can move up,
get an audience with Estrada.
Exactly, but it's gonna be dangerous.
Find someone you can trust.
[CLARK] Captain Spencer.
- Yeah?
- Call for you.
I'll take it in my office.
Hey, Dex.
My man. You hard at work already?
No. I-I was, uh, just
Hey, so, listen, Harry thought
he was gonna get a doctor,
but Dex decided to slum it down here
with us chumps instead, huh?
Well, glad to have you, amigo.
I've known this kid ever
since he was watching Scooby-Doo
in his jammies, huh? [LAUGHS SOFTLY]
[DEXTER] And lighting fires.
And killing small animals.
All right, listen up.
We have a drug-related homicide.
Sounds like an NHI, so, uh,
Watt, Batista, Morgan, it's go time.
Detective Morgan.
Actually, both of you.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Hey, hey.
[DEXTER] What?
You know how I feel
about you working here,
but ever since you
did the deed,
you seem to be doing great.
So let's think about your
future, all right?
Maybe helping putting
murderers away will be enough.
Like methadone for a heroin addict.
That's one way to put it.
[DEXTER] Though I'm sure most
addicts prefer the real thing.
Excited to see some action?
Oh, you bet.
Uh, can I ask you a question?
- Claro.
- What's, uh, NHI?
It means "no humans involved."
The victim's a human, obviously,
but NHI refers to certain groups:
prostitutes, drug addicts,
homeless people.
Actually, that sounds pretty bad
when I say it out loud.

It felt like Christmas morning.

You and me both.
This is your first crime scene, right?

- Yeah.
I remember my first.
My captain, this big
macho putz, was worried
that my weak little lady stomach
couldn't handle all the blood.
Ten minutes on the scene, and he
was the one blowing chunks.
I'm tiny but mighty.
And don't you forget it.
I won't.
Good. Now I've got
an important mission for you.
You got something to write on?

Detective.
Gracias.
All right, rookie.
It's time to get your hands dirty.
The checklist.
Skip even one step, and someone dies.
You.
It's a little homicide humor
to kick off the day.
[CHUCKLES]
Okay.
So, the area's already been secured.
There were no witnesses.
The next step: documentation.
A lot of rookies make the mistake
of only focusing on the body.
We need to photograph the entire scene.
Especially any blood.
Spatter matters.
I prefer the spiral method.
You work perimeter to center.
[FADING] I like to start
on the right, head left,
and then back around.
[DEXTER] The body was in full rigor,
meaning the killer had struck
a minimum of eight hours ago.
Decayed incisors.
Definitely a longtime drug user.
Crack. Cocaine. Maybe both.
[ANGEL] Can somebody bag
that crack pipe?
[DEXTER] The killer must
have approached from behind.
The victim startled. He turned around.
Morgan, you get all that?
The killer was here,
right in front of the victim.
No exit wound.
Must have used a s-small-caliber pistol.
And when the victim was shot,
his blood spattered
through the entry wound
and onto the ground.
Except where it hit the killer.
You see the void?
Where there's no blood?
That's where the killer was standing.
Batista, come over here.
Morgan, tell Batista
what you just told me.
The killer was standing in front
of the victim when he shot him.
You see the void in the blood spatter?
That's where the killer was.
Oye, Captain, Bobby, get a load of this.
[SPENCER] Yeah.
Okay, Morgan, tell them your hypothesis.
The killer was right in front
of the victim.
The void in the blood spatter
is where he was standing.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Well, we've got ourselves
a real blue-chipper here,
don't we, boys?
[BOBBY] Yeah. I mean,
we would've never known
the vic got shot at close range
except for the gunpowder burn
in the middle of his forehead.
[LAUGHTER]
That's enough, guys.
Dex, let me talk to you for a sec.
Come on.
They're just giving you a hard time
'cause you're the new guy.
Oh. [CHUCKLES]
Weird, but that's okay.
It's gallows humor.
It's the only way we can deal
with stuff like this every day.
Makes sense. Doesn't bother me.
Good for you.
Now you just got to join in.
You know? Give 'em a hard time back.
It's like I always taught you.
You got to blend in.
Got it. Blending. [CHUCKLES]

he borrowed money from the wrong guy.
Scumbag named "Handsome" Tony Ferrer.
Loaned Rene a few thousand,
slapped on a huge vig.
- "Vig," as in interest?
- Claro.
So much that it's impossible
to pay back.
Rene missed a couple of payments.
Pretty soon, he was in the hole
over 20 grand.
- [EXHALES SHARPLY] Whoa.
- Yeah.
So, Ferrer goes to Rene's house,
put a gun next to his head,
fired and told him
that if he didn't have his money
by Friday,
the next bullet
was gonna be in his skull.
After Ferrer left,
Rene saw that the bullet
went through the wall
and hit his mom in the head.
She died instantly.
Carla Carballo.
Yeah.
How'd you know that?
I was pulling case files for Tanya,
and, uh, that one stuck with me.
Because it was so sad.
Yeah.
A week later,
Rene killed himself
at his mother's grave.
The guilt, it was just too much.
And there went your witness.
Yeah.
May they rest in peace.
What about Ferrer?
I hate that Ferrer is still out there,
preying on my community.
But he's smart and slippery.
And we've never been able
to put him away.
Thank you for sharing.
Yeah.

than he could've possibly imagined.

for him and his mom.
But like lots of immigrants,
when they first get here,
he borrowed money from the wrong guy.
Scumbag named "Handsome" Tony Ferrer.
Loaned Rene a few thousand,
slapped on a huge vig.

So much that it's impossible

Rene missed a couple of payments.
Pretty soon, he was in the hole
over 20 grand.

put a gun next to his head,
fired and told him
that if he didn't have his money
by Friday,

was gonna be in his skull.

Rene saw that the bullet
went through the wall
