Hop a Freighter
"Hop a Freighter" is the eleventh episode of the fifth season of the American crime drama television series Dexter. It is the 59th overall episode of the series and was written by executive producer Scott Buck and co-executive producer Tim Schlattmann from a story by Karen Campbell, and was directed by John Dahl. It originally aired on Showtime on December 5, 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. Dexter 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, he and Lumen set out to kill Jordan Chase, while Liddy prepares to catch Dexter to recoup his own career.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.26 million household viewers and gained a 1.1/3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised its cliffhanger ending, although some considered the episode rushed.
Jordan Chase (Jonny Lee Miller) has been cleared of direct involvement in the Barrel Girls case by a DNA test, but Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) continues to suspect him. Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and Lumen (Julia Stiles) begin planning their strategy to kill Chase. Suddenly, Dexter notices surveillance cameras in his apartment and finds one with a "property of Miami Metro" sticker. He starts trying to identify which of the vans in the vicinity is surveilling him.
Liddy (Peter Weller) asks Quinn (Desmond Harrington) to help him in his case against Dexter to salvage his career, but Quinn refuses to get involved. The Barrel Girls case gains traction when Masuka (C. S. Lee) correctly guesses that the vigilante killed Tilden next door, and Debra conjectures that the vigilante is the escaped 13th victim who is acting with the help of a boyfriend. Dexter investigates the surveillance equipment, discovering Quinn's signature. He and Lumen break into Quinn's place and discover the photos taken by Liddy. Debra and Quinn question Dan Mendell's wife Laura (Leslie Grossman), finding out that Dan has known Jordan Chase since childhood, under his previous name of Eugene Greer. Angel (David Zayas) has also linked Chase to Tilden.
Having identified the only remaining van, Dexter prepares to sedate the owner, whom he believes to be Quinn. Instead he is ambushed by Liddy with a taser. Liddy calls Quinn and attempts to blackmail Dexter into confessing, which he needs because he's been kicked off the police force. Instead, Dexter fights back and manages to kill him. Quinn arrives, approaches the van, and leaves when the now-dead Liddy fails to pick up, unaware that a drop of Liddy's blood fell in his shoe.
Emily (Angela Bettis), acting at the behest of Jordan Chase, lures Lumen to her house, where Chase captures her. After destroying Liddy's evidence, Dexter receives Lumen's message about Emily's call and goes to find her. At Emily's house, Chase questions Lumen ineffectively, gets angry, and murders Emily for witnessing his impotence. By the time Dexter reaches the house, he finds Emily's body, a blood trail, and Lumen's knife, but no Lumen or Chase.
The episode was written by executive producer Scott Buck and co-executive producer Tim Schlattmann from a story by Karen Campbell, and was directed by John Dahl. This was Buck's 12th writing credit, Schlattmann's tenth writing credit, Campbell's first writing credit, and Dahl's seventh directing credit.
