The massive Dirac equation is considered in the non-extreme Kerr geometry in horizon-penetrating Eddington-Finkelstein-type coordinates. We derive an integral representation for the Dirac propagator involving the solutions of the ODEs which arise in Chandrasekhar's separation of variables. This integral representation describes the dynamics of Dirac waves outside and across the event horizon, up to the Cauchy horizon. For the proof, we write the Dirac equation in Hamiltonian form. One of the main di�culties is that the time evolution is not unitary, because the wave may \hit" the singularity. This problem is resolved by imposing suitable Dirichlet-type boundary conditions inside the Cauchy horizon, having no effect on the outside dynamics. Another main difficulty is that the Dirac Hamiltonian fails to be elliptic at the horizons. Combining the theory of symmetric hyperbolic systems with elliptic methods near the boundary, we construct a self-adjoint extension of the resulting Hamiltonian. We finally apply Stone's formula to the spectral measure of the Hamiltonian and express the resolvent in terms of solutions of the separated ODEs.
