17.
DEXTER:
What was that?
MASUKA:
Yeah...There's no blood in or on or
near the body at all. It's the
weirdest thing you ever saw.
PUSHING INTO DEXTER'S HORROR STRICKEN FACE
DEXTER (V.O.)
No blood. No sticky, hot, messy, awful
(beat)
Why hadn't I thought of that? No
blood.
(and then his face relaxes)
What a gorgeous idea.
Dexter quickly spins around to Angel, then whips out a pair
of surgical gloves, snaps them on, leans down next to Angel
who's slowly unwrapping a hand with his scalpel.
DEXTER (CONT'D)
How does he do it? How does the killer
get rid of the blood?
ANGEL:
Hard to say. The body's in good shape
and she was muy bonita. Had a big ass
too. Her head's over there, take a
look.
Dexter ignores that, leans in, inspects the exposed hand.
DEXTER:
This is unique.
MASUKA:
(laughs)
No sh*t and no prints either.
Angel picks away until he finally reveals the tip of an ankle
with a small tattoo of a butterfly still on the skin.
DEXTER (V.O.)
This guy's good. Good as I could do.
I've never seen such clean, dry, neat
looking dead flesh. Wonderful.
Dexter looks at Angel.
18.
DEXTER (CONT'D)
Very clean.
ANGEL:
Yeah, but he didn't finish - no
terminado.
DEXTER:
Looks pretty completo to me, Angel.
ANGEL:
No, look -- he cut the leg in four
pieces, almost like using a ruler, but
this leg is only in two pieces, and
here. Looks like he started to make a
third cut but stopped. Possible, he
got interrupted.
MASUKA:
(laughing)
That's why LaGuerta is looking for a
witness. Working on that motel Porter
back there. God help him.
Dexter looks at them both.
DEXTER (V.O.)
No blood. I can't think.
(beat)
I have to get out of here.
Dexter rises -- takes one last look at all the marvelous
bloodless body parts laid out on the tarp, then without
saying anything, turns, walks away from Masuka and Angel.
ANGEL:
Dex, donde vas? Where you going?
But Dexter keeps walking and heads out of the alley and
disappears behind a group of COPS standing by the squad cars.
CUT TO:
EXT. PARKING LOT - LA MAMACITA MOTEL - MIAMI, FL - SAME
Dexter keeps walking, passes LaGuerta who winks at him.
DEXTER (V.O.)
I wish she'd stop that. It's one of
those mating rituals which I really
don't understand.
19.
He suddenly finds himself crowded in by a group of REPORTERS,
pushing their microphones and cameras into the face of -
CAPTAIN MATHEWS (50's), slick and manicured, three hundred
dollar shoes, five hundred dollar suit, and a million dollar
ego.
CAPT. MATHEWS
I have the utmost faith in this
department and with Lt. LaGuerta
leading...
REPORTER:
(interrupting)
Captain Mathews...Captain -- we
understand there were similar killings
in Broward...are we talking about a
serial killer?
CAPT. MATHEWS
There's no evidence to suggest...
REPORTER:
Then it's the work of a lone
psychopath?
CAPT. MATHEWS
Listen, we live in Miami so I guess,
the chances are good.
And as Dexter looks back at the crime scene, we hear -
DEXTER (V.O.)
That bloodless body -- This guy may
have exceeded my own abilities.
CUT TO:
EXT. MIAMI BEACH TENNIS CLUB - MIAMI, FL - LATER
Dexter pulls into the white picket-fenced parking lot, filled
with top of the line BMW's, Mercedes, finds a spot -- Dexter
has a clear, unobstructed view of the main entrance of the
Club and SEES -
A steady stream of beautiful, tight bodied, bronzed skinned
MIDDLE AGED LADIES in their cute little tennis outfits
walking in and out of the club.
Dexter turns his head, then SEES --
20.
JAMIE JAWORSKI (30's), a short, stocky, pleasant enough
looking man, whose large brown eyes might be a little too
close together, wearing a traditional janitorial outfit. A
small broom and shovel in his tattooed hand.
FREEZE ON JAWORSKI
DEXTER (V.O.)
This guy likes hanging around the
wives of the rich and famous. Works
the country club circuit, cleaning
lockers, painting picket fences.
BACK TO SCENE:
Jaworski sweeps up a little dirt, some leaves, while eyeing
all the pretty ladies.
DEXTER (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Six months ago, I think he fell in
love with a pretty brunette, Mrs. Jane
Saunders.
Dexter opens a Miami P.D. missing person's file, pulls out a
picture of Jane Saunders -- and she is a very beautiful
brunette.
DEXTER (V.O.) (CONT'D)
A sweet mother of two, married to
Harry Saunders a successful banker.
They all lived a pleasant life in an
overgrown modern house, until she
unfortunately disappeared.
FLASH TO:
EXT. NICE HOUSE - UPSCALE NEIGHBORHOOD - MIAMI, FL - DAY
The distraught, handcuffed HUSBAND is led out by COPS. His
two KIDS (10-12), surrounded by SOCIAL WORKERS, sob. Off to
the side we SEE -
A younger looking LaGuerta proudly talking to the press.
DEXTER (V.O.)
The cops arrested the husband for
murder. They never convicted him, but
all wasn't lost, because they still
managed to destroy his life and leave
his kids emotionally deficient
forever. But I knew he was no killer.
BACK TO SCENE:
21.
One of the LADIES drops her tennis bag, bends over and
Jaworski freezes, stares at that pantalooned bottom.
DEXTER (V.O.) (CONT'D)
My favorite janitor was a suspect for
a while but the cops could never make
anything stick.
After a beat, Jaworski, skulks away and disappears into a
shed off to the side.
CUT TO:
INT. POLICE HEADQUARTERS - MIAMI, FL - LATER
Dexter, carrying a box of donuts, walks down the high-tech
brushed metal walls and the glass enclosed office cubicles,
passing UNIFORMED COPS -- weaves in and out of a bunch of
casually dressed POLICE DEPARTMENT ADMINISTRATORS, then comes
upon two veteran DETECTIVES.
DETECTIVE #1
Hey Dex...
They stop, dig into the box, each grab a cream-filled donut.
DEXTER:
(happily)
Hi Bob, Dan...How're the families?
DETECTIVE #2
(with mouth full)
Mmmm...good...You..?
Dexter nods, smiles.
DETECTIVE #1
See you at the next blood bath?
DEXTER:
Never miss a party.
The Detectives laugh, mumble ÒthanksÓ and keep walking.
Dexter watches them disappear down the hall, then we -
FREEZE ON ALL THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THE HALLWAY
DEXTER (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Salt of the earth these people and
they try hard, but with the solve rate
for murders at about twenty percent --
Miami is a great place for me to play.
A great place for me to hone my craft.
(MORE)
22.
DEXTER (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Viva Miami.
(accented)
Si...Viva Miyami.
BACK TO SCENE:
Dexter turns down another hallway, then HEARS -
DEBRA (O.S.)
Dex...
He turns around, sees Deb smiling, dressed in plain clothes
DEXTER:
I like your other outfit better.
Debra reaches into his box of donuts, grabs a powdered one.
DEBRA:
You're a sick bastard but guess
what...the sex suit worked and the
Captain put me on the case. LaGuerta
wasn't happy, but she needs to get
laid.
DEXTER:
I guess. So congrats...
