Hello, Bandit
"Hello, Bandit" is the second episode of the fifth season of the American crime drama television series Dexter. It is the 50th overall episode of the series and was written by executive producer Scott Buck, and was directed by John Dahl. It originally aired on Showtime on October 3, 2010.
Set in Miami, the series centers on Dexter Morgan, a forensic technician specializing in bloodstain pattern analysis for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department, who leads a secret parallel life as a vigilante serial killer, hunting down murderers who have not been adequately punished by the justice system due to corruption or legal technicalities. In the episode, Dexter tries to raise Astor and Cody, while also pursuing a man who left blood in a rented van.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.70 million household viewers and gained a 0.8/2 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised Dexter's storyline, but expressing criticism for the subplots.
Dexter (Michael C. Hall) gets Astor (Christina Robinson) and Cody (Preston Bailey) to temporarily move to his apartment. He also participates in his interview with the FBI, and they are confident he has an alibi, as he was at Arthur's house during the time of the murder.
Dexter rents a van to help the kids, discovering blood in the vehicle. He investigates the last person to rent the van, Boyd Fowler (Shawn Hatosy), who works in sanitation. To arrange a meeting with Boyd, Dexter kills and sets up a raccoon on a rural road and calls it into the Department of Sanitation. Then he waits by his car until Boyd arrives in his yellow pickup truck. Later, he sneaks into his house, finding a locked door to the attic. When Boyd returns, he is forced to flee. He follows Boyd, who drops a barrel in a marsh. Dexter's life with Astor and Cody is not easy, as Astor is still upset with him, blaming him for Rita's death. They also skip school to go to their house, staring at the bathtub where their mother was murdered.
Miami Metro investigates a murder in a Venezuelan neighborhood, where a woman was beheaded while candles were placed next to her. Police Officer Cira Manzon (April Lee Hernández) believes that a gang known as the "Santa Muerte cult" was involved in her death. Just as they conclude she was murdered with a machete, they are called when the woman's husband is also found dead. Due to the lack of space at the apartment, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) stays with Quinn (Desmond Harrington) at his house, but she makes it clear their sexual encounter does not mean anything. Angel (David Zayas) discovers that LaGuerta (Lauren Vélez) has over $200,000 in a savings account, which he never knew. LaGuerta states that it is for her retirement, and she did not tell him because he is not reliable with money.
Quinn checks on the sketches provided by people who saw Kyle Butler, deciding to keep his own investigation. Dexter decides to let Astor and Cody go live with their grandparents outside the city, feeling it will be better for them. That night, he checks the barrel in the marsh, finding the corpse of a woman. As he surveys the area, he finds more barrels.
The episode was written by executive producer Scott Buck, and was directed by John Dahl. This was Buck's tenth writing credit, and Dahl's fifth directing credit.
