Blood Drive

Previously on Dexter: Original Sin
[DEXTER] What if this victim
and the last two we found,
the one in Overtown and
the sex worker in Coconut Grove,
what if they're all connected?
You're shitting me. A serial killer?
No one in shitting you, Captain.
All the victims come
from high-risk population,
all loners.
Nothing was taken from them,
so robbery isn't a motive.
What do you think?
I think she's on to something, Aaron.
I think it's worth pursuing.

beat the guy like a piñata.

Hey.
Batista, how's he doing? How's Bobby?
Shot in the neck.
Massive blood loss. He's in surgery.
Jesus Christ.
- I'm so sorry.
- Yeah.
Hey, well, what about his wife?
Does she know?
Missy's in the surgical waiting area,
hoping on an update from the surgeon.
It's a nightmare.
You mind if I have a word with you?
Sure.
What?
Look, I know that it's a crazy time.
[SCOFFS]
But if we're gonna be partners,
I need you to come clean with me.
What are you talking about?
I saw you steal the file
from Tampa PD.
[SIGHS]
Who is Brian Moser?
He's from a vice case
Bobby and I worked back in '73.
We were trying to get
inside the Estrada Cartel.
We had an informant,
a woman, Laura Moser.
Mother of Brian.
And?
She was killed.
It was my fault.
Your fault how?
[EXHALES]
I was having an affair with her.
Emotions got in the way.
[SIGHS]
It's one of the biggest
regrets of my life.
I always wondered what
happened to little Brian.
[SIGHS] Such a sweet kid.
So that's why you stole the file.
This has nothing to do with our case.
All right? This is a private matter,
and I'd prefer to keep it that way.
[SIGHS]
Bobby and I swung by Laura's place.
The house was torn apart,
there was food on the floor.
Laura and her boys have
been kidnapped.
I can feel it
in every fiber of my being.
So you want me to jeopardize
the Estrada case on a feeling?
The case. [CHUCKLES]
The case
The case is compromised.
What the fuck are you talking about?
[SIGHS SOFTLY]
I had an affair with Laura.
[TENSE MUSIC ♪]
- I know.
- [SPENCER SIGHS]
I know, I fucked up.
One of Estrada's henchmen
probably saw us together.
Oh, Jesus, Harry.
Does Doris know?
That doesn't matter.
You know what the cartel
will do to an informant.
Spence, they have her two boys.
- Any idea where they are?
- PortMiami docks.
Estrada does
all of his business there.
I can lead the charge.
[SCOFFS, SIGHS]
You can join the search.
But as a uni.
Give me your shield.
Give me your shield.
[SPENCER] We are looking for a mother
and her two boys, age seven and three.
They could be in any shipping
container on the premises,
but we cannot open any
without probable cause,
so any proof of life
in a shipping container is
enough to crack open the lock,
so if there is a whimper, a scream,
a K-9 indicating a scent,
that's good enough.
- You understand me?
- Yes, Captain, sir.
All right, dismissed.
Let's get it done.

I can't even imagine what
he's going through right now.
[DEXTER] Spencer had everyone fooled,
but not me.
For him, pain was pleasure,
the difference between the two
razor-thin.
Spencer was my first child killer,
true evil incarnate.
[SPENCER] He's still alive, I know it.
- You just have to find him.
- Yes.
Find him.

We can't let Bobby's
sacrifice be in vain.
He would want all of us
out there right now
shaking the goddamn cartel

happened to Nicky.

I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.
[SIGHS]
So much I want to tell you, ask you.
Mm. For the first time,
you can't complain
that I'm yapping too much.
You know those murders LaGuerta
and I have been saddled with?
Turns out, you and I know
who the perp is.
Brian Moser.
Dexter's brother.
I haven't told LaGuerta.
This is the point where I need to use
that big brain of yours.
[SIGHS]
Brian wants to connect with Dexter
for whatever fucked-up reason.
And if I bring Brian in,
he blows up everything.
Dexter will learn the gory details
of his god-awful past.
[SIGHS]
Who knows what that'll do to him?
What do I do, Bobby?
[SIGHS]
[WHISPERS] Hey.
What?
What?
Save
Dexter.
[CHUCKLES] Hey!
Hey, Doc! He's awake!
[DORIS] He's had flashes of violence.
He put our baby in danger.
So I'm-I'm afraid
we can't handle his
level of trauma.
What about Dexter?
We've grown to really love him.

What is this?
Trying to beat one
of Nicky's top scores.
- [BUZZER SOUNDS]

I'm gonna put in your boy's initials.
Least I can do for him.
What the hell is going on?
Oh, let's not play that game.
I think we both know
what's going on here.
Why do you have those pictures
up there? Why my son?
[LAUGHS] Wow.
You are one great actor.
How do you do that?
How do you, who is,
as you yourself said,
"a fucking evil animal,"
give such a convincing,
innocent performance?
You have the wrong guy.
Oh, no, you're the right guy.
Remember that blood on the box
that held your son's finger?
Your first mistake.
I could've passed it off
as a coincidence,
but that wound on your forearm
[GROANS]
Nicky fought back, didn't he?
He's older than Jimmy,
tougher to wrangle.
And then there was
that hesitation mark
on Nicky's finger.
Was it hard, even for "a fucking
evil animal" like you,
to cut off your own son's finger?
But the real proof? Undeniable?
When I saw you give your son's
bloody jersey to that junkie.
Then you killed those Los Tigres
members to cover it up.
And let's not forget
what happened to Bobby.
[WHISPERS] I like him.
I like him, too.
How many other children have
you murdered over the years?
None.
[GROANS SOFTLY] Seriously?
Drop the innocent act.
- [GASPS]
- How many?
I am not a serial killer.
I protected this city.
I spent my entire life
in the pursuit of justice.
I'm a goddamn hero!
I thought you were a hero.
You were always one
of the good guys to me.
I am one of the good guys.
Good guys don't kill kids.
She betrayed me.
Becca?
Betrayed my family
and turned Nicky against me.
Oh, you did all this to
to hurt your ex-wife?
Aren't you a fucking genius?
[DEXTER] In that moment
I realized a single incident
could turn a good person
into a monster.
It was a sobering realization.
The world became an even darker place.
Let me go.
I'll tell you where Nicky is.
You kill me, he'll die of starvation.
Tell me.
You heard me. There's only
one way to find out.
[SPENCER GRUNTS]
Fuck.

was the worst case of serial
killer blue balls I'd ever had.
I've learned firsthand
you can lose two pints of blood
and still function,
but when you get to three,
it's a little iffy, mortally speaking.
Let me go.
No. I'm gonna let you sit here
and think about what you did.

And when I get back
you better be more forthcoming
about Nicky.
