Summary

 * “The Angel of Death”

Dexter is searching for a man that he saw at a crime scene who had repaired a set of wings with glue used in ancient manuscript repair. He asks the docent at a museum if he can speak to someone about repairing an old painting. The docent leads him to an informational film about art restoration.

"Narrator: [in the film] “A lot of the action is behind the scenes. For nearly 35 years…”"

"Narrator: “Using radiograms and infrared imaging…”"

On his way out, Dexter asks the docent if she knows the man's name, but she shushes him. "Worst docent ever," Dexter thought.
