      During "Dex Takes a Holiday (#4.4), Frank Lundy is heard recording notes during his encounter with the Trinity killer. He quotes the physical description of the killer as being 200-220 Lbs. Later, in Dirty Harry (#4.5), Dexter is listening to the same tape recovered from the evidence room; the playback describes the Trinity killer as being 190-200 Lbs.
    • Quotes

      Det. Debra Morgan: It doesn't matter what I do or what I choose I'm what's wrong. There's nothing I can do about it. If I'm not hurting myself, I'm hurting everyone around me. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm... I'm broken.
