Summary

 * “Remember the Monsters?”

In the background at the bus stop, a woman announces: “This is the final boarding call for Mockingbird Bus 24 to Tallahassee.” Dexter says goodbye to Hannah and Harrison, promising to see them soon.

During the bus ride, Harrison is bored and sleepy.

"Harrison: (to Hannah) “Tell me about Argentina.” Hannah: “Well, uh... they have their own special kind of cowboys. They're called gauchos. Maybe you'll get to meet one. You know what else they have? Penguins.” Harrison: (half-awake) “I like penguins.' Hannah: “But not just in a zoo, they're wild ones, kind of roaming around. 'Cause Argentina is close to the South Pole, which is where Santa Claus has his summer home, and... and...because he's on vacation, he's always in a good mood. So he says yes to everything.”"

As soon as Harrison falls asleep, Hannah feels someone take hold of her arm. It’s Jacob Elway, sitting across the aisle from her.

"Elway: “Who knew you'd be so good with kids, huh?” Hannah: “How did you find me?” Elway: “One of my contacts finally came through. Look, let's be civil about this, all right? No need to upset Harrison.” Bus Driver: “All right, everyone, please take your seats. We're pulling out now. Next stop, Daytona.” Elway: “So this is what's gonna happen. We're gonna sit here quietly until we get to Daytona. Then we're gonna very calmly get off the bus. I'm gonna drive us to the Marshal's field office. I'm gonna turn you in, and I'm gonna hand Harrison over to Child Protective Services. And I'm gonna collect what's turning out to be a very hard-earned reward.”"

The bus travels on to Daytona, Florida.

"Bus Driver: “Folks, we will be arriving at the Daytona station momentarily. After a short stop, we will proceed on to Tallahassee. Anyone making a connection to Jacksonville should disembark and proceed to Boarding Bay Three.” Elway: (as Hannah reaches into a carry-on bag) “Hey, hey.” Hannah: “I'm just getting some tea. Oh, I'm sorry. Do you want some?” Elway: [Snorts] “How stupid do you think I am?”"

Suddenly, Elway gasps as Hannah injects his leg.

"Hannah: (to Elway) “Here's what's gonna happen. The horse tranquilizer I just gave you is gonna kick in in about eight seconds. You're gonna fall asleep for a couple of hours and wake up in Tallahassee with a slight headache, feeling humiliated and cranky.” Hannah: (waking Harrison) “Come on, sweetie. It's time to go. Let's go. Come on.'"
