- DI Annika Strandhed: Do you have a car that I can use while I'm here?
- [looks at Tam's mud-caked Land Rover]
- DI Annika Strandhed: Do you use it for catching sheep?
- Sgt. Tam Glenn: Oh... Well, I've been briefed on the case, boss, and I don't think a sheep did it.
- DC Blair Ferguson: My ear feels weird.
- Grant Kidd: You'll have burst an eardrum. Bloody crazy. Who are you?
- DC Blair Ferguson: Police. I need to ask you some questions about your brother. And if you could answer a bit louder than normal, that'd be great.
- DS Michael McAndrews: Looks like schist rock.
- DI Annika Strandhed: I think it looks pretty good!
- DS Michael McAndrews: It'll be a gag like that that got him stabbed.
- DC Blair Ferguson: Did you already do a schist rock joke?
- DI Annika Strandhed: It's like you don't know me.
- DI Annika Strandhed: I am so sorry. Really wanna rewind this investigation.
- DC Blair Ferguson: Hey, I feel getting blown up is a Marine Homicide thing now. We should get badges, like the Girl Scouts do.
- DI Annika Strandhed: I could sail a boat before I could walk. Actually, that's ridiculous. I could probably draw a picture of a boat before I could walk. Either way, it was early. And the first time I saw a dead body was out to sea. Floating upwards, with a life jacket on. I thought he was swimming, but when I shouted, he didn't answer. So... I tied a rope to him and towed him back to shore. Never found out what happened to him. I was thirteen. So the body could have been mine floating in the sea today, so if anyone's bloody drinking, it's... it's me.
- [takes a swig from Morgan's vodka-filled water bottle]
- DI Annika Strandhed: Oh, Christ! She could've put a mixer in it.
- DC Blair Ferguson: [to Morgan] Talk to your mum. She's trying to mother you, and because you don't let her, she's mothering me. And that's weird.
- DC Blair Ferguson: Sharks don't really have noses. They've got these olfactory lamellae which interact with organic molecules in the water and alert them to prey.
- DI Annika Strandhed: What?
- DC Blair Ferguson: I'm just saying, a bunch of sharks are coming down the Clyde 'cause you blew up a corpse. Smelled it from Greenland, apparently.
- DI Annika Strandhed: Okay, everyone seems to have processed things alright.
- [first lines]
- DI Annika Strandhed: [voice-over] I don't know about you, but a high point at school was learning about the Scandinavian sagas, and there was one in particular where a man foraging in the woods discovers a cabin where twelve women are at work at a loom. And it's not one of those charming wood looms. It's this gruesome thing made out of men's heads and human entrails. And the women start singing a song where they choose who is to be slain at the upcoming battle.
- DS Michael McAndrews: [voice-over] Police. Any souls on board?
- DI Annika Strandhed: [voice-over] And at the end, they get on their horses and fly away.
- [on-screen]
- DI Annika Strandhed: These women were known as Valkyries. Now, I haven't seen a loom or heard anyone singing, but someone made a choice about whether the person on this boat should live or die. And I only get called out for the second thing.
- DS Tyrone Clarke: Are you thinking about that law quote she gave you?
- DI Annika Strandhed: No, Casablanca. I wanna say that thing about being mates.
- DS Tyrone Clarke: Beautiful friendship.
- DI Annika Strandhed: That's the one.
- DS Tyrone Clarke: Which one of us is Bogart?
- DI Annika Strandhed: I'm Bogart. Of course I'm Bogart. What, what's the matter with you?
- Liz Dunbar: My client is understandably upset, but of course we are here to cooperate. And it would be helpful if we didn't speak in Norwegian.
- DI Annika Strandhed: Well identified.
- DI Annika Strandhed: So, according to her social media, Sigi checked in around 9:00 pm on Friday night, here.
- DS Tyrone Clarke: She wouldn't get served, though, would she?
- DI Annika Strandhed: You say that, Tyrone, but I've discovered that kids are wily, and very much have a Viking attitude as to when you're an adult.
- [to the bartender]
- DI Annika Strandhed: Got any mead?
- [last lines]
- Morgan Strandhed: Well done on the case. You're a good mum.
- DI Annika Strandhed: Thanks.
- Morgan Strandhed: I mean, she escaped on a plane.
- DI Annika Strandhed: She didn't escape.
- Morgan Strandhed: She flew off!
- DI Annika Strandhed: I'm going to the vending machine.
- Morgan Strandhed: She flew to a different country!
- Morgan Strandhed: The hand sanitizer contains isopropyl alcohol.
- Ms Hill: I'm not asking you about that.
- Morgan Strandhed: It's an antiseptic and works by killing microbial cells. It was used as early as the 1300s.
- Ms Hill: Morgan! There's vodka in the water bottle.
- Morgan Strandhed: Also an antiseptic.
