Genuine Love Cannot Be Faked
Emma Murdoch I love you, John. You can't fake something like that.
Connections in a Shared Past
Emma Murdoch What brings you here?
Mr. Hand I met my wife at this place.
Emma Murdoch It's where I first met my husband.
Mr. Hand Small world.
Reflections on Memory and Haunting Places
Mr. Hand We're very lucky, when you think about it.
Emma Murdoch I'm sorry?
Mr. Hand To be able to revisit those places which have meant so very much to us.
Emma Murdoch I thought it was more that we were haunted by them.
Mr. Hand Perhaps. But imagine a life alien to yours, in which your memories were not your own but those shared by every other of your kind. Imagine the torment of such an existence: no experiences to call your own. If it was all you knew, maybe it would be a comfort.
Planning the Capture of John Murdoch
Mr. Book Is it done?
Mr. Hand Oh, yes, Mr. Book. I have John Murdoch in mind.
