FBI Handler

FBI Handler is a character in Season Five of the Showtime series DEXTER.

He arrests Joey Quinn for talking to Jonah Mitchell without permission while he is being safeguarded by the FBI.

History

 * “The Getaway”

Arthur Mitchell is identified as the Trinity Killer. His family -- Jonah, Sally, Rebecca -- is taken in for questioning. Since Arthur has escaped (actually killed by Dexter), he remains a threat and his family is placed in protective custody.


 * "Practically Perfect"

Quinn sees a similarity between the sketches of “Kyle Butler” and Dexter, and suspects they are the same person. He asks FBI Agent Ray Walker if he can show a picture to Jonah Mitchell, but he’s refused. In turn, Quinn won’t allow Walker to have the picture.

Summary

 * "Beauty and the Beast”

Quinn calls Agent Walker and again asks if he can meet with Jonah. Again, Walker says no, as it would violate safe house procedures. Walker offers again to take the picture and show it to Jonah. However, Quinn says no, claiming it’s a sensitive situation. When the call ends, Quinn follows Walker to the safe house and confirms the presence of Jonah.

Later, Quinn is parked outside the safe house and observes Walker, Jonah, and an FBI handler exit the house and enter a car. He follows them to a convenience store, where Jonah and the FBI handler go inside. Quinn enters, passes by the handler who is pouring coffee, and locates Jonah by himself in an aisle. He approaches Jonah, tells him not to be afraid, and presents his badge. Confused, Jonah asks if he knows him. Quinn says he thinks he knows who Kyle Butler is and holds up a photo of Dexter, asking if he recognizes him. Jonah asks, “Why do you want to know?” without confirming that it’s a photo of Kyle. Just then, the FBI handler appears and pulls his gun on Quinn.

"FBI Handler: “Hey, back away! Back away!” Quinn: “I'm a cop. It's okay.” FBI Handler: “Keep your hands where I can fuckin' see 'em, and shut the hell up. Jonah, go to the car now. Turn around.” [Handcuffs click shut]"

Afterward, Quinn is released. Lt. Maria LaGuerta berates him for going behind her back after he was ordered to leave Trinity’s family alone. She dismisses Quinn’s allegation that Dexter is Kyle Butler as “bullshit.”
