[Angel] For the official record,

this Captain Angel Batista.

I am collecting evidence

to prove that my that my former colleague Dexter Morgan

is, in fact, the Bay Harbor Butcher.

Stay away from me and my son.

You think I'm just gonna back off?

[Charley] It's not just that everything went sideways

when Red joined.

I-I don't have a good feeling.

What is this big theory, Charley?

That he infiltrated our group...

Ronald Schmidt.

He prefers "Red."

UrCar. Isn't that right, Red?

Yeah, I gave him a ride. We just kind of hit it off.

That-that's crazy.

I-I've watched every single one of your TED Talks.

I especially love the one about

investing your life in the things you love...

[Dexter] The story of Prater's life.

That simple epiphany changed who I am.

But Red didn't say he had a son in town.

What do you do? Are you in school?

[Harrison] Uh, no. Uh, um...

I've-I've got day job at the Empire Hotel.

Just-just a bellhop.

But, uh, I'm actually planning on--

Yeah, he's got big dreams, this kid.

Hey, Leon.

Mind if we have a word? Outside?

Of course, Red.

But let's make sure you and, uh, I...

I-I... I didn't get your name.

- Harrison. - Harrison.

[Dexter] Another step closer to the truth

about who I really am.

You guys should come over to my place

after this gala is behind me,

and, uh, we can get to know each other.

- I-I would love that. - Great.

So, you're having me followed now?

Now, Red, I do not like surprises.

By the time someone has been invited into my inner circle,

I usually know all about them,

but you are full of surprises.

[Dexter] Oh, you have no idea.

You quit your IT job, you moved from your apartment

without informing me.

Now I find out you have a son.

You fucking stay away from my son.

[chuckles] Whoa. Of course.

Wow. I would never get between a father and son.

But I have to ask you...

...does Harrison know who you really are?

What do you think?

I'm-I'm not sure about anything with you, Red.

But you have my word,

I will not blow your cover with Harrison.

Honestly, it's Charley who is a bit concerned.

She has this bug up her ass that you were the reason

why things have gone wrong lately.

If I'd wanted to fuck with your little gathering,

you never would've seen me coming.

I understand.

But you have to learn to trust me, Red.

Hmph.

I've shared more of my personal history with you

than I have with anyone,

serial killer or not.

I don't know, you just have this...

way about you that's unlike the others...

...yet you live in a shroud of secrecy.

I would like to schedule a time for us to get together.

I want you to tell me about your personal history.

I want to know about your childhood, your parents.

Call me curious.

And if you open up to me,

What, so he collected you?

Not me, Dexter Morgan.

He thinks I'm Red Schmidt,

the serial killer the news called the Dark Passenger.

That's why he calls you Red?

W-Why the fuck does he think you're Red?

'Cause I found him, Red Schmidt,

when he was killing drivers in the city.

That's why you've been ride-sharing.

'Cause it's easier to hunt him.

Red hurt a friend of Blessing's who showed me a video

of his near-death experience,

- and then I-- - Did what you do.

And afterwards, I found an invitation in Red's backpack,

from Prater, for "like-minded individuals."

And so I impersonated Red to infiltrate the group.

- Little help here, God? - [patting legs]

[beeping]

[Prater] Yes, Red--

I mean, Dexter--

I know exactly who you are.

[muffled grunting]

[Prater] And I love it!

[laughs]

[Dexter] Angel, you just couldn't let go,

and now, here you are.

Here we are.

You know...

I thought it was a bit odd

how you were so drawn

to the Bay Harbor Butcher's blood slide box

when I first showed you my collection.

But then, when your pal Batista here told me...

- [Angel groans] - ...who you really were...

[Angel groaning]

...suddenly,

boom, it all became clear.

[Angel groans]

Lowell didn't disappear.

Nah. Neither did Red.

- [Angel] Oh, f... - You took 'em out, didn't you?

How'd you do it?

[scoffs] What makes you think

I'd talk about that in front of him?

Oh, right. [shushes]

[Angel groans]

I'm just so excited to be talking

to the Bay Harbor Butcher.

The living, breathing Bay Harbor Butcher.

And how you were able

to place all that blame onto James Doakes.

But that-- that must've

fucked with you just a little bit, right?

That stolen valor of all your kills going to Doakes?

What...

are we doing here?

Oh. Brr. Of course. [chuckles]

I have a proposal.

Charley, come on.

[sighs]

I would like to be your benefactor. [chuckles softly]

Just like I did with the Gemini Killer.

I-I will be your Medici to your Bay Harbor Butcher.

Bay Harbor Butcher. Just saying it out loud--

Bay Harbor Butcher. Just--

Oh, it gives me goosebumps. [chuckles]

I have extensive files

on serial slayers across the globe.

We can invite them here to our little group.

Spend the week with them.

And then...

you do what you do.

Add them to your collection.

[Dexter] Look at him, taking my idea.

And what's the plan for Angel?

[muffled grunting]

- Angel. - [muffled groan]

Um...

That is...

the price of your admission.

- [gun clicks] - Sir, let's not--

Charley... please.

[muffled groaning]

You want a front row seat

I must admit, I've always wanted to see someone like you at work.

Oh.

Charley, give me the gun.

Come on-- just-- It's embarrassing.

[loud, muffled grunting]

[Dexter] Angel Batista has threatened my life,

my son's life.

Now that he's confirmed who I am beyond a shadow of a doubt,

- he will never give up. - [muffled screaming]

And rule number one is: don't...

get...

caught.

We were partners once.

Maybe we can be partners again.

[Angel grunting]

This is for Doakes and for María.

Your bullshit has to stop.

[Dexter] So much for cooperation.

There's something poetic about dying

at the hands of my life-long friend.

[Dexter] There's no coming back from this.

No god that can save him.

[Angel breathing shallowly]

I need you to know,

I didn't kill María...

or Doakes.

I may be the Bay Harbor Butcher,

but I promise you, I didn't kill them.

[quietly] It was your fault.

And now I'm dying...

because of you,

- just like they did. - [Dexter exhales]

[Angel wheezes softly]

I'm sorry.

[Angel breathes loudly]

Dexter Morgan...

...fuck you.

[quietly] No.
