George, the manager of the Fox Hole
strip club places a phone call. The camera cuts to the sumptuously
furnished interior of a handsome home in Kiev, where an obviously
wealthy, powerful man (Ray Stevenson) sits surrounded by servants, security and
personal assistants.
Answering the phone call, the wealthy man identifies himself as "Isaak".
George informs him that Viktor left on an evening flight to Kiev (unaware that Dexter intercepted him at the Miami Airport).
Isaak
asks "What about the dead police officer?" (confirming the fact that
both he & George are aware of Viktor's involvement in the murder
of detective Mike Anderson). George tells him that it's still a
problem, but that the police have no evidence to use against them, and
that he will make the problem "go away".
Isaak looks smug as he ends the call.
Q.
What is it actually in real life?
A. A mansion.
Q.
Where can I find it in real life?
A. This was shot in the Petitfils-Boos House, an Italian Renaissance Revival mansion in Hancock Park, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
However, only the interior was used in this scene.
You'll find it at 545 S Plymouth Blvd. (at the NW corner of Plymouth & 6th St), in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
The 8,594 square-foot home was built
in 1922 by architect Charles F. Plummer, who also built the Orpheum
Theatre (in downtown), the Pig 'n Whistle restaurant (in Hollywood),
and the landmark Pan-Pacific Auditorium.
When last sold, in 2004, it went for $4 million.
[Warning: This is a private home. Do not trespass on their property, knock on their door, or do anything else that might disturb the residents. ]
A. In the early seasons, I usually had to hunt down the locations after viewing the episodes,
using clues from the various scenes. By the now, though,
I've developed a small group of fans, spies & tipsters who kept an
eye out for Dexter filming in their neighborhoods, and would let me know
in advance when something was about to film there.
Between those reports, my own personal reconnaissance around town, and a
few new resources I discovered, by the time the first episode airs, I
already know most (but not all) of the filming locations, and only
need to watch the episodes and match up the scenes with the correct
locations.
This group of helpful fans includes Rick, Ellen, Elaine, Mia, Joel, Susan, Eric, Jeff, Kerry & others. My thanks to all of
them.
I got this tip from Rick, which was confirmed by F.P. [Thanks Rick!]
