- DC Blair Ferguson: Natural Waters's a charity. They do awareness campaigns and more political stuff about how we treat our natural resource.
- [singing]
- DC Blair Ferguson: It falls from the sky, it belongs to you, it's natural water.
- DI Annika Strandhed: What was that?
- DC Blair Ferguson: It's their slogan. I feel they might make everyone sing it each morning before work.
- DS Michael McAndrews: So, Ibsen got his house servant pregnant. Did you know that? She had a son and apparently he never made any attempt to see him.
- [pulls a book out of his jacket]
- DI Annika Strandhed: You read it.
- DS Michael McAndrews: Read it aloud to the kids.
- DI Annika Strandhed: Are you queuing up a joke about how it got them to sleep?
- DS Michael McAndrews: Never. I respect your culture.
- DI Annika Strandhed: You okay to start the interview? I need to, uh, sort out Morgan.
- DC Blair Ferguson: They're just selfies. Jokey more than anything. I can show you if you like.
- DI Annika Strandhed: I meant sort out her dinner.
- DC Blair Ferguson: Right. Okay.
- DI Annika Strandhed: Yeah, so you, uh, tackled him into the water.
- DS Tyrone Clarke: Yeah, why do you say it like that?
- DI Annika Strandhed: No, it's just I've been tempted to write that in an arrest report, too.
- [last lines]
- Dr. Jake Strathearn: I've been reading up about the unification of Norway and Denmark, described by historians as 400 years of darkness.
- DI Annika Strandhed: There was the odd year that would have been fun, though, right?
- Dr. Jake Strathearn: Definitely. Perhaps I should uh...
- DI Annika Strandhed: Yeah.
- [aside]
- DI Annika Strandhed: I mean that wasn't a no, was it?
- [first lines]
- DI Annika Strandhed: No pictures of Freud. Have I told you about the origins of psychotherapy?
- Morgan Strandhed: This isn't a test.
- DI Annika Strandhed: No, of course. Of course. This is your time to explore your story, uh, with a neutral professional. And you can talk about anything, you know, even our relationship. This is, it's, it's your session.
- [Aside as the therapist enters]
- DI Annika Strandhed: Okay.
- Dr. Jake Strathearn: Morgan, hi. And Annika.
- DI Annika Strandhed: The mother. Guilty. It's always about the mother, isn't it? Well, and guilt as well. Probably. At least now you can put a, a face to the source of the trauma.
- Dr. Jake Strathearn: It's not always about the mother.
- DI Annika Strandhed: Any of your kids been in therapy?
- DS Michael McAndrews: [chuckling] Nah, of course not.
- DI Annika Strandhed: Of course not. Seriously?
- DS Michael McAndrews: Didn't mean it like that, I just mean mine seem fine.
- DI Annika Strandhed: It's because of your excellent parenting and by implication my terrible one.
- DS Michael McAndrews: How do you jump to that?
- DI Annika Strandhed: Well, surely they'll have to talk to someone at some point, like a, a GP or a dinner lady.
- DS Michael McAndrews: I think they just talk to their friends. Does Morgan have any friends?
- DI Annika Strandhed: Bloody hell, Michael. Twist the knife.
- DI Annika Strandhed: In Ibsen's An Enemy of the People, there's this medic, Dr. Stockman, who works at a health spa in a little coastal town in Norway. When some of the visitors start getting sick, the doctor identifies the cause as infusoria. It's a kind of microscopic creature that's got into the pipes. As soon as he tries to alert the authorities, his life pretty much unravels. His family suffers and everyone wishes it hadn't been a righteous doctor who'd found something nasty in the water supply. So let's see how this plays out, 'cause we certainly found something nasty in this one.
