Dexter: Early Cuts - Season 1 (2009)

As Alex senses his own mortality he begs Dexter for mercy and Dexter ponders the method by which he should end the killer's life.

Dexter begins his latest pursuit with Gene Marshall and learns that he is a real estate mogul, billionaire, and an arsonist.

Dexter learns that Marshall's crimes basically went unpunished as he deemed unfit for trial after he used his money to exploit the system.

Dexter subdues and confronts Marshall about the people who were casualties of his arsonist activities.

Dexter is interrupted from his ritual with Gene Marshall when his sister, Deb, insists he celebrate her sweet-sixteen birthday with her.

Dexter stalks a new victim and finds one in Cindy Landon, a magician's assistant with a special skill that makes her husbands disappear.

Cindy reveals the secrets behind her trade and speculates that her role in a magic show is more important than the magician's.

Dexter introduces himself to Cindy at a magic show and even though she is married she agrees to meet him later in an abandoned parking lot.

With Cindy subdued, Dexter sets the stage for his own magic show with her as the center of attention.
