Dexter: New Blood

Previously on Dexter: New Blood...

I can't believe Molly Park is in Iron Lake.

She's a podcaster?

It's only, like, the most popular

true crime podcast out there.

You're into true crime?

I'll text you my top five.

Yeah, man, look at this shit.

Who's Ethan?

That ball sack over there.

I've always fantasized

about hurting Zach like that.

Leave Ethan alone.

But you actually did it.

Reservation Land Management

has footage of Matt Caldwell shooting that deer.

Somebody committed an attack, then tried to cover it up.

We're looking at foul play.

Search dogs?

You have to move Matt's body.

Those dogs are gonna walk a straight line

from the crime scene to your firepit.

-Did you hear my news? -No. What's the news?

He's alive.

Matty's alive.

That's unbelievable.

What's your theory?

He couldn't face that his son was dead,

so he had some sort of delusion.

I don't think so. He's lying.

-Why? -He doesn't trust the cops.

Wants to take matters into his own hands.

That's what you would do.

Kurt's nothing like me.

Do you remember how enraged he was

when he saw the video of the other person

out there in the woods?

Yeah, he thought it was a Seneca.

He thinks that Johnny Bullhorn murdered Matt

for shooting the deer,

and Angela is protecting him.

So he gets Angela to close down the case,

waits for things to cool off...

and bam, he kills Johnny.

Kurt goes to jail.

All because of... you.

-It could be worse. -Worse?

Once the small-town cops are out of the way,

Kurt does due diligence onto Johnny,

and he realizes he couldn't have done it.

So he keeps digging

all the way...

...to his son's real killer.

Hey there.

Did you hear the news?

About Matt?

Can you believe it?

I was right in the first place. He just skipped town.

Yeah.

Well, who'd you hear it from?

Uh... Kurt.

You talked to Kurt?

Yeah, it was late, so I had to get groceries

for Harrison at that 24-hour market in Moose Creek.

And on my way home, I saw Kurt coming out of The Tavern.

He looked like he'd had one too many,

so I gave him a ride home. He was celebrating.

Hey, Chief!

You were right all along.

Um, I got to go.

I'll talk to you later. I love you.

Okay. Love you, too.

Morning, buddy.

-You want some breakfast? -I got it.

Made the team.

Coach Logan says I have to gain five pounds

before the first match.

That's great. You're making friends.

Eh. Most of the guys on the team are fuck-nuggets.

What?

Your Aunt Deb used to say that.

Fuck-nuggets.

Oh, yeah.

I wasn't sure what you remembered. Like, if anything.

I don't, much. Except for the swears.

But, yeah, she was fun.

Yes. She was.

You want some of this?

I'd rather put out a campfire with my face.

That was always one of my favorites.

You miss her?

Oh, she's in my thoughts all the time.

Got to go.

-Later, Dad. -See you.

Hey.

Ah. Matt always did keep us on our toes.

Yeah, he really outdid himself this time, huh?

-Hey, Mr. Caldwell. -Hey.

Oh. What a relief.

-Mm. -You can say that again.

You know, I knew Matty would be all right,

he always is, but I got to tell you,

he had me worried this time.

Yeah. Me, too. Me, too.

Oh, hey. Okay.

And what time was this?

Around ten.

And you said it was FaceTime,

so did you see where he was?

Looked like a hotel room.

He said he was in New York City.

Did he look injured at all?

Injured?

We found his blood in the woods.

Right. Right. Um...

I didn't see any injury. No.

Did he tell you what happened,

or who the other person was out there? Anything?

You know, I-I didn't think to ask.

I mean, I was just very relieved

that my son was alive, you know?

What he put you through,

what... the whole... what he put the whole town through,

it's definitely not okay.

No, it's not. He owes me a call.

Sure.

I've tried his cell a number of times.

It just goes straight to voice mail.

So if-if you could help me get ahold of him...

Look, Chief, if this is about him killing that white deer

on tribal land, I will pay the fine.

You know I'm always good for it.

I'm always cleaning up his messes.

It's not my jurisdiction.

I just need help closing the missing person's case

and clearing up who assaulted whom in the woods.

Okay, look, I didn't want to have to get into this,

but, uh, when I saw him on FaceTime,

he looked like he was high on something,

like he hadn't slept in days.

And he does this sometimes. He goes on benders.

And I won't hear from him for weeks, or even months.

Well, you heard from him last night.

Yeah, 'cause he wanted money, which I wouldn't give him.

I'll try, but-but I'm not gonna promise anything.

He didn't answer the ten phone calls I made before that,

or the two after.

Man, he acts like a teenager,

but he's a, he's a 30-year-old man,

and at some point you got to let 'em go, right?

No, no.

She's just out of this meeting now.

Right. We can talk about it. Yeah, yeah.

But we should probably schedule it

-at another... -Hi.

Oh, oh, look, I-I'm sorry, I told her it was

inappropriate for her to visit me here, so...

Visit you?

Well, you know, we-we... we've met once before.

We-we had a couple of drinks, and we slept together,

and he was amazing. Wow, that's some, like, real

-Carrie from Homeland shit. -Uh...

Does it have anything to do with the case?

I know you're a reporter.

I'm not a reporter.

I'm a podcaster. Print is dead.

I have a real aversion to liars.

Oh, no, I wasn't lying.

I said I was here to help with the search, and I was.

And you're doing a story about it.

A rich, white, entitled cisgender guy

illegally shoots a rare white buck

on reservation land, and then up and disappears?

Of course I am. Was that his dad you were talking to?

-Well, the story's over, so... -Have you talked to Matt?

It's weird, right?

I mean, the guy evades law enforcement

and a town full of concerned citizens.

Finally pops his head up,

and he can't even bother to answer his cell phone?

-I've been trying him also. -Okay. You need to leave now.

Do you think that he attacked someone in the woods?

Or do you think his dad is covering for him,

for some odd, strange...

If you don't leave, I'm going to arrest you

for interfering with an investigation.

Right. We don't want that.

Call me when you're off. Mm.

Mm-hmm.

Okay. I-I... I just thought that...

Run Matt's credit cards.

I did that a few days ago. There's no hits.

But you don't buy what Molly said about...

I don't give a shit what Molly said.

But I do care about what Kurt said.

Matt is staying at a hotel in New York.

Run his cards.

contemplative music

Poor bastard.

I get that he's upset,
