Summary

 * “Do You See What I See?”

It’s early morning and Dexter is sitting outside Hannah McKay's house, drinking coffee when his cell phone rings.

"Dexter: “Hello?” Woman: “Am I speaking with Dexter Morgan?” Dexter: “Yeah, that's right.” Woman: “This is Dade County Department of Corrections. Hector Estrada…” Dexter: “Wait. What?” Woman: “...is having a parole hearing.” Dexter: “When?” Woman: “This morning at 10:00 A.M. I know this is sudden.” Dexter: “Okay, thank you for letting me know.” Woman: “You're welcome, sir.” [They hang up.] Dexter: [to Hannah] “That was the Department of Corrections. Hector Estrada is up for parole. He thinks there's a good chance he'll get it.” Hannah: “Estrada?” Dexter: “Remember, I told you about my mother and how she died?” Hannah: “Oh, God. Was he -- was he one of the men that killed her?” Dexter: [nods] “He was the leader. He gave the order.” Hannah: “What about the others?” Dexter: “Dead. Estrada is the last survivor.” Hannah: “I'm sure you'll have something to say about that. Look at it this way. Maybe it's the universe giving you a Christmas present.” Dexter: [smiling] “No one but you would see it that way.”"

Maybe killing Estrada will close this chapter of my life, Dexter thought, and open me up to a future with Hannah.

At the hearing, Dexter sits in the back of the room. Estrada is brought in, apparently walking with difficulty.

"Board Commissioner: [to attendees] “The panel has reviewed all the pertinent data in this matter. We find that the prisoner meets the requirements for parole under the Compassionate Release Statute 463.” Board Commissioner: [to Estrada] “Have you read the statute? Do you understand your obligations?” Hector Estrada: [hands shaking] “I understand what's expected of me. I won't screw up.” Board Commissioner: “At this time we invite any victims present to enter a statement either for or against the board's decision.”"

I have no objection, Dexter thought, remaining silent.
