Summary
[Radio chatter] [Honking]
 * “Dirty Harry”

"Dexter: (crossing a police barricade and viewing a tarp-covered body] “Deb.” Hanson: “Hey, you. Back behind the line.” Dexter: “No, I was called here. I'm Dexter Morgan. That might be my sister.” Hanson: “I understand, sir, but right now I need you to step back and let our people do their job.” Dexter: “No, no, I'm with Miami Metro Forensics. My laminate and my wallet are in the car.” Hanson: “Until I see some ID, I need you to step back.” Dexter: (angrily) “And I need you to fucking listen. My sister was shot, no one can tell me what her condition is, and that's a dead body.” Hanson: (pushing Dexter back) “Sir.” Dexter: (glaring at Hanson) “You want to let me go.”"

Angel Batista notices the confrontation and yells to the officer, “Hanson. Hands off. He's one of us.” Hanson releases Dexter who walks off with Batista.

"Batista: “Deb's alive. Okay? They're taking her to the hospital.” Dexter: “I have to see her. How bad is it?”"

They head toward a barely conscious Debra who is being loaded into an ambulance. Maria LaGuerta tells Dexter that she lost a lot of blood. If deb dies, Dexter thought, ''I'll be... lost.''

LaGuerta: “Paramedics think the bullets are through and through.” Dexter: “She's gonna be okay?” LaGuerta: “It's looking good.” [Siren wail as the ambulance leaves] Dexter: “Who did this?” LaGuerta: “We got here just before you did." Batista: Quinn was first on scene. He says it's smelling like the vacation murders M.O.” Dexter: (looking at the yellow tarp) “Then that's...” Batista: “Lundy.” Dexter: What was Deb doing with Lundy at 5:00 in the morning?” [Batista and LaGuerta exchange glances] “Oh.” LaGuerta: “Dexter, I swear to you, we will find who did this.” Dexter: “My kit's in my car.” Batista: “Hey, hey, hey. You got better places to be. Like with your sister. Go. That's an order." LaGuerta: You'll know the minute we know anything.”

Dexter looks over at the yellow tarp. ''Lundy was a worthy adversary. He deserves better than to be face down in a hotel parking lot, a random victim of a senseless crime.''

Joey Quinn walks up and tells Dexter that he’s sorry about Deb.

"Dexter: “Did she say anything?” Quinn: “She was in shock, didn't see who pulled the trigger.” Dexter: “Batista said you think this looks like the vacation murders.' Quinn: Deb's cash and credit cards are gone. So's Lundy's watch and wallet.”"

Dexter then walks over to Vince Masuka who is kneeling by Lundy’s body.

"Dexter: “Anything, Vince?” Masuka: “Surgeon General wouldn't have been able to save him. GSWs to the neck and chest. He bled out in seconds.” Dexter: “Lundy was shot twice?” Deb was vulnerable and a potential witness, Dexter thought. The shooter could have easily finished her off like Lundy."

Instead of immediately going to the hospital, Dexter breaks into Lundy’s hotel room and steals his research material regarding the Trinity Killer.
