Lumen: I know you. What you are, deep down. Aside from your police job and your "extracurricular activities". You're a father. I saw the pictures out there. Three children?
Dexter: The two oldest are with their grandparents. Their dad's mom and dad.
Lumen: You have a son?
Dexter: Harrison. He just started talking, today. He's tremendous.
Lumen: It's just the two of you?
Dexter: And an Irish superhero nanny. I never thought my life would turn out like this.
Lumen: I had imagined a totally different life for myself too. I always did everything by the book, you know? Go, go, go. I never stopped to think. There was high school, and college, and graduate school. Owen. We were gonna get married at the house that I grew up in. On my wedding day I, I tried on the dress, and I looked at the window in the backyard where the aisle was, and I saw everything that that aisle was leading to. Babies, and matching dinnerware. Sunday barbecues. And I couldn't breathe. I had to get out of there, and find something ... more. Then, everything happened, and [pause] I actually thought "This is what I get. For trying to live my own life." Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?
Dexter: [quietly] A little.
Lumen: But tonight, I felt this like, this... peace. And it's because he's dead. [Pause, and then painfully] And I know that it's not gonna last. And when it wears of, I'm gonna have to find the rest of them. [tearfully] Because that's the only way that I'll find that peace again. I don't even have a name for what I'm feeling.
Dexter: [voiceover] I do. The Dark Passenger. I can't get revenge for Rita's death, but I can help Lumen avenge what was done to her. [Pause, and then aloud] How many more were there?

TV Show: Dexter
Lumen: [Dexter has asked her to describe her attackers] Besides the ones we've already ... taken care of? There was watch-guy.
Dexter: Watch-guy?
Lumen: I would be tied to a chair, blindfolded. Sometimes I wouldn't even know if he was there until I heard this watch by my ear. And then he'd lean in and whisper "Tick, tick, tick, that´s the sound of your life running out."
Dexter: Okay. Anyone else?
Lumen: Suit and tie. He'd take off his jacket and fold it, very carefully, and then lay it on a chair. Like he didn't want to mess it up. The suit guy I'd know, he always took the blindfold off. I guess he thought I'd be dead soon.
Dexter: He was wrong.

TV Show: Dexter
Lumen: [looking at a picture of Jordan Chase and Masuka]: I mean, that guy's clearly a freak (Dexter looks confused), but I don't know him.
