53.
Everyone fidgets uncomfortably in their seats.
LAGUERTA:
(patronizing)
That's very interesting -- very
creative, but let's keep looking for
the witness. We know, he or she is out
there -- The forensic evidence, the
interrupted cut, proves there was an
eyewitness -- someone saw something so
let's concentrate on finding that
person. Okay?
DEBRA:
But...
LAGUERTA:
(sharp, hard)
Just keep talking to all your hookers.
(beat)
Okay, that's all for today.
And as everyone rises and leaves the room, Dexter looks at
LaGuerta who winks at him.
DEXTER (V.O.)
Sh*t...
But Dexter RACES out of the room and down -
THE HALLWAY:
Where he grabs Deb storming away. She spins and out of
frustration SCREAMS -
DEBRA:
DAMN HER.
Then she PUNCHES Dex hard in his chest.
DEXTER:
Ouch...Jesus, Deb...
DEBRA:
Sorry...but she made me look like a
fucken idiot. She's such a COCK!
DEXTER:
Cock?
DEBRA:
You know what the f*** I mean. I mean,
what the f*** was I supposed to say?
(MORE)
54.
DEBRA (CONT'D)
I'm just there because the Captain
said they had to let me in.
DEXTER:
But he didn't say they had to listen
to you.
DEBRA:
Right again, so say adios to my
career. I'm going to die a meter maid.
DEXTER:
There is another way. Find the truck.
And just then LaGuerta appears.
LAGUERTA:
Excuse me.
(smiling to Dex)
Dexter. My office, please.
LaGuerta turns, saunters away. Deb stares at Dex with a look
of utter amazement.
DEBRA:
What the hell was that? What the
fu...You boning her? Oh my God...
And Deb takes off.
DEXTER:
NO...Deb, wait...
CUT TO:
INT. LAGUERTA'S OFFICE - POLICE HEADQUARTERS - MIAMI, FL -
LATER:
Dex has all his pictures of the blood splattered hotel suite
on easels. Faces Lt. LaGuerta and Sgt. Doakes.
DEXTER:
It has nothing to do with drugs.
SGT. DOAKES
This is a waste of our goddamn time.
LAGUERTA:
Dex eyes LaGuerta and Doakes looks like he's about to pull
his gun. Dex eyes him, then says evenly -
55.
DEXTER:
I read the other reports -- all the
other forensic analysis and everyone
agrees. The coke-head murders had
nothing to do with cocaine. It was a
crime of passion. The murderer came
there to kill the woman -- not the
dealer. He did him quick and got him
out of the way but he sure as hell
took his sweet time slicing up that
lady and you don't do that unless you
have a long personal relationship with
someone -- probably an ex-boyfriend.
(beat)
That's who I'd look for.
LAGUERTA:
Okay...It's a bit of a push, but Sgt,
you should check it out anyway.
SGT. DOAKES
(stares at Dexter)
I'm watching you, motherf***er.
And as we push into Dexter's face, we HEAR the CRACK of
thunder, and we -
CUT TO:
EXT. BAYWATER CONDO DEVELOPMENT SITE - MIAMI, FL - LATER
Dexter drives through the pouring rain, then turns onto a
construction site bordering the bay -- passes a damaged sign
that reads ÒBaywater Condominiums.Ó
The land has been cleared of all trees and a series of half
built two-story condo's sit abandoned in their place.
DEXTER (V.O.)
Another huge development that was
going to improve all of our lives by
turning trees and animals into cement
and old people from New Jersey. But
this place ran out of money --
stalled, inert, lifeless.
Dexter stops his car behind a large pile of old brick and
timber. After a beat, he slips silently out of his car, walks
slowly toward a half-built condo.
56.
DEXTER (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Jaworski's been coming here for
weeks...likes to steal all the copper
wire. Good money in that.
(beat)
No security guards. That's good.
CUT TO:
EXT. HALF-BUILT CONDO - MIAMI, FL - LATER
SECOND STORY WINDOW P.O.V.
And through the sheets of rain we SEE --
Jaworski pull up in his pickup, get out, a large wrench in
his hand. He steps through the puddles and heads into the
building.
INT. HALF-BUILT CONDO - MIAMI, FL - SAME
MOVING P.O.V.
And we see Jaworski slowly head up the stairs, walk down the
hallway, then disappear into a second story room.
DOORWAY P.O.V.
And we see Jaworski, struggling with a large piece of copper
tubing, turning his wrench, over and over until the tubing is
finally freed.
Sweating, Jaworski, picks up a pile of tubing, cradles it in
his arms, heads for the door and as soon as he steps into the
doorway, he stops -- FREEZES.
SEES a picture of Jane Saunders pinned to the wall.
Then in a FLASH -
Dexter, wearing a rubber apron over his clothes and his face
all pressed and distorted from that shrink wrap mask is
behind him -- his filet knife pressed into Jaworski's neck.
DEXTER:
Don't move and don't make a sound.
JAWORSKI:
Hey, wait a...
57.
And with that, Dexter pulls a syringe out of his pocket,
plunges the needle deep into Jaworski's neck and Jaworski
crumbles to the ground.
CUT TO:
INT. LARGE ROOM - HALF-BUILT CONDO - MIAMI, FL - LATER
Jaworski's naked body is shrink wrapped down over a stack of
sheet rock. Duct tape stretched across his mouth.
Next to him is a small table covered with a gleaming, lethal
set of filet knives of various shapes and sizes.
Dexter peels the mask off his face, leans over Jaworski and
stares into his eyes.
DEXTER:
Let's talk.
Jaworski struggles, shakes his head and Dexter rips the duct
tape off his face.
JAWORSKI:
(pained)
F***...
DEXTER:
Talk.
JAWORSKI:
(eyes wild with fear)
What? What do you mean?
DEXTER:
I think you know what I mean.
JAWORSKI:
No.
And with that, Dexter very casually and smoothly, draws the
scalpel across Jaworski's cheek.
JAWORSKI (CONT'D)
Oh, God...
DEXTER:
(tight, hard)
Now talk to me about Jane Saunders.
Beat. Then Dexter lifts the scalpel again.
58.
JAWORSKI:
(weakly)
Okay...okay...
(beat)
I did her.
DEXTER:
How?
Beat.
JAWORSKI:
(and then)
But I'm not sorry.
DEXTER:
Of course not. And now, I'm not sorry,
either.
And with that, Dexter lifts up his knife and we -
CUT TO:
INT. LARGE ROOM - HALF-BUILT CONDO - MIAMI, FL - LATER
Dexter cleans up, wipes his knife clean, whips the rubber
apron off his body, and as he shakes his gloves off into his
tote bag -- he suddenly stops, looks down, reaches into his
pants pocket and pulls out his vibrating cell phone.
DEXTER:
(pleasantly)
Hello?
SMASH CUT TO:
INT. RITA'S HOUSE - MIAMI, FL - SAME
Rita has the phone pressed hard against her ear.
RITA:
I'm sorry...I mean, I'm sorry about
the other night, but uh...Well, uh,
Dex -- I really need to see you, so
can you --- I mean, can you come by
tonight -- just for, you know -- like
a little while. I'm really...What are
you doing now?
59.
DEXTER:
Looks at all the white Hefty garbage bags filled with bits
and pieces of Jaworksi neatly stacked in a pile across the
room.
DEXTER:
Just finishing up a little project,
but I'll try to come by later.
(beat)
Okay, bye.
He hangs up, then lifts a double layered glass slide of blood
