Call me Annika.

Captain Ahab spends
a year hunting Moby d*ck.

And it's a pretty challenging year
by anyone's standards.

Typhoons hit the boat

lightning strikes the mast

and I'm pretty sure
he loses a false leg.

And also most of his crew,

including his first mate,
Starbuck.

Actually, can I get a coffee?

When Ahab finally sites the
whale

he launches his harpoon

but it flips his tail
and smashes his boat to pieces.

Ahab gets the line
caught around his neck,

and, well, he's dragged into the
water where we basically drowns.

And that's him gone.

It's a terrible voyage.

Everyone goes mad

and no one even knows
if the whale dies or not.

One thing I do know.

This great white whale
definitely did.

Thanks.

DS McAndrews.

So well done
for getting DI.

Thanks.

A bit flowery, but otherwise
it's a very moving sentiment.

Coastguard call it in?

Yeah, he's pretty shaken up.

So, do we all get these jackets
then?

No, this might be yours,
actually it's pretty roomy.

So did you do it?

That's what you're leading
with, is it?

Sometimes you get lucky
with an early confession.

You haven't
changed.

Yes, I have.

Get him to the morgue.

See you tomorrow.

This is how I went to school.

Look how popular it made me.

You haven't got any friends.

Yeah, but not because of the
boat.

The new school
is not even on the river.

I have to walk
the rest of the way.

Well, then
you can describe this bit

the wind in your hair,
the spray in your face.

Everyone will think
I've been arrested.

I've got to say, Morgan,
I'm not ruling that out.

Want me to bring your team in?

Uh, no.
I'll do it out there.

I don't want them to think I'm a
d*ck

for having
a big private office, y'know.

I wanna be a team player.

This is your office, isn't it?

Yeah.

I"ll

Morning, everyone.

I'm DI Annika Strandhed.

I know you went expecting
to start for another week

but an early morning body
waits for no man.

So let's take it as red

we've done the name games
and the trust exercises

and make a start.

Just through here

Oh. Oh, body sensor.

From
documentation on the body.

The victim is Arthur Hendry,
the owner of...

Oh, hiya.
DS Clarke is it?

Tyrone.

Did they send you the notes?

I read them in the cab,
I can jump in if you want?

From documentation
on the body,

the victim is Arthur Hendry,
owner of Aquatic Watch.

A wee boat business

where folk can photograph whales,
dolphins and, I don't know, mermaids.

Reported missing by his wife
Isla.

Okay, thank you,
blah.

Oh, come on.

Pathology have sent us an estimate
of between 20 and 2200 hours

for time of death.

He was already dead
when he was dumped in the water.

We'll be breaking the news
to the relatives after this

so I don't know if you wanna...

Yeah, yeah, just,
holidays over.

Cause of death, erm

well, a massive harpoon to the
head.

Michael's our search diver and
er...

almost immediately
spotted the harpoon might be a factor.

Call that an instinct.

Okay, we'll need a search area
for where the body was dumped

factor in the storm earlier that
day.

Was a b*stard, wasn't it?
I lost a weather balloon.

You have your own weather
balloon?

Not anymore.

So it's a new unit.

I should have got cupcakes

but I've got some, er,
salted liquorice from Norway.

It's an acquired taste.

Um.

I'll leave it here, er,
and you can just help yourselves.

We're sent on a leadership course
before taking this job.

I went on a mini-break
to Madrid instead.

I regret that now.

Get yourself home, Finlay.

Can I use your phone?

Could you tell us
when you last saw your husband, Isla?

Here.

At this time yesterday.

And then where did he go?

We don't know.

But you were all
supposed to meet later for dinner

at the Green Garden.

Aye.

For his birthday.

Would he have gone into work?

No I don"t
think so.

We've no bookings,
the casuals have gone for the season.

Finlay"s the only one left.

Who"s Finlay?

Cousin. Looks after the
boatyard.

Was your father in any
trouble?

Did he have any recent run-ins
or?

Oh do we have to do this now?

Come here.

I, I know it's a shock,
we'll give you some space.

But, I'm afraid we have
to identify the body.

I'll do it.

So I don"t know if you're an expert
on the history of harpoons, but I am.

Or rather Google is.

And I can tell you that they date back
to Palaeolithic times.

And there's a reference
to them in the Bible

and of course Hermon Melville

had a lot to say about them
in Moby d*ck.

And me too, as it happens,
because I think

death by harpoon suggests someone
is trying to get a point across.

Okay fine.

There are quite a few injuries.

I'm afraid you have to say it.

It's Arthur.

We"ll arrange for you to have
it back.

We fished all our lives.

Mackerel.

Oh, Christ what a life.

Then we saw this boat for sale

painted it,
did trips for the tourists

made a real go of it.

We wanted to retire.

Pass something decent on to the
kids.

That was the dream anyway.

That swear'st grace o'erboard,
no oath on shore?

Hast thou no mouth by land?

What is the news?

Okay.
And then Morgan is it?

You say "the best news

is that we've safely found
our king and company".

The best news
is that we've safely found

our king and company.

Okay. Bit flat

but you're new,
we"ll get you there by tomorrow.

So then you exit and Prospero
enters.

What's this?

Tyrone
came looking for Finlay

and thinks he's got the crime
scene.

The body being dumped here
would fit with the storm.

The tidal flow
and where we pulled him out the water.

Okay. I don"t need
to be the first you call

but I definitely need to be
in the top three.

Morgan.

Tyrone?

Did you see the open
padlock?

It wasn't forced so it must've been
opened by someone with a key.

My money"s on Finlay.

Well, or any of the Hendrys.

Nah, they were at
the Green Garden, alibis check out.

There was a booking for four,
only three show up

Arthur was the no-show
cos he was getting himself k*lled

in his own boat yard.

You can't make Finlay a suspect
cos you found his prints

he - he works here.

Sure. Let me show you.

Wrapping this up
quickly

doesn"t mean you get to go back to Malaga
or wherever you were.

- Biarritz.
- Oh. Nice.

So I think that Finlay
was doing maintenance

when Arthur comes in
and there's a confrontation.

The conflicts in family businesses
are always about power or money.

Yeah.

I just don"t get the impression
there's much of either in this company.

Well then maybe he was upset
about not being invited to dinner.

Either way,
his temper gets the better of him

and there's a struggle,

there's smashed glass, a kicked
in seat.

Boot prints?

No the storm
eliminated anything useful.

But Finlay grabs a spear g*n

fires it, pins the victim to the
cabin.

Hm. Just because
he wasn't invited to dinner?

The puncture mark on the boat
matches the harpoon wound in the body

and we found a trace of blood
in the cabin.

I think we've got the scene.

Hm. Okay. I buy it.

Why did you transfer?

You could've gone up the ranks
of border command.

Well arresting traffickers
gets a bit samey.

Plus I heard about you.

What did you hear?

Well your conviction rate was
so high

because of how you looked
at an investigation.

And how am I looking at this
one?

Well why use a harpoon?

And why was there one
on a sightseeing boat anyway?

Exactly.

Well apparently
you get the same conviction rate

if you just stick a pin
in the crime board.

Isn't that Finlay?

Coming back to clean
up I bet.

Hey, er,
hey can we have a word Finlay?

- Hey!
- Oi!

- Is he armed?
- Maybe.

Maybe? How, how is that
helpful?

I didn"t see.

- There. Stop!
- Oi you!

Where is he?

The unit"s first arrest.

Ah, let"s hope
they all come shrink wrapped.

Interview with Finlay Morris,
time of day as stamped.

Enjoying yourself?

What, chatting with you

when I should be having dinner
with my daughter?

What do you think?

Want me to comment on your
parenting?

You entered the Aquatic Watch yard
at 1500 hours

upon seeing our officials
securing the site

you ran from the scene.

Thought you might be Sheriff
Officers.

- We identified as police.
- Eventually.

Were you surprised
to see forensics at your yard?

It's not my yard.

Oh so is that it?

You put in all the work

you're family

and yet Arthur treats you
as the odd job man?

I loved him.

He was better
than all of them put together.

So a father figure was he?

And what if he was?

Some people hate their
fathers.

Well I hated mine.

And Arthur took me in.

Thanks for the sympathy.

Where were you on Friday
night?

Like I told you, I was at the
pub.

Yeah. Only two miles from the
yard.

I couldn"t walk. Ask the
landlord.

If you have enough evidence
to charge my client for an of fence

then now will be the time to do
so

otherwise we won't
be making any further comment.

Except to say
it's been a bloody pleasure.

Are we done?

Hey. Sorry! Still up?

Oo! Oh!

Jees, you scared the life out of
me

How was school?

Oh and you cooked. Eggs.

Might save it til the morning.

Don"t bother.

I'm sorry Morgan.

I want to go back to my old
school.

Well, that"s not an option is
it?

You don"t even answer my
messages.

Well there...

there was like a chase

and an interview with a suspect

and a crime scene
and I forgot the cupcakes

and, you know what,
nothing. I'm - I'm sorry.

Too late.

Hey, maybe
you're having trouble fitting in

because you're so chippy!

Okay so I am now going to
justify

er, my mothering strategy.

Shame cos it was rock solid.

- Michael?
- Finlay's in surgery.

He's been the victim of a hit
and run.

When?

Finlay went to the hotel
after the interview

he was run over in a road
behind the hotel

died about ten minutes ago.

Christ.

We had to let him go.

Okay. Erm, you catch up
with the CSOs at the hotel

- Any witnesses?
- Not yet.

Is that your daughter?

Yeah I'd introduce you but...

- We've just had our only suspect k*lled.
- Yeah.

You get home.

Do you have a patient
named Finlay Morris here?

I'm sorry, I can't
help you.

Hey?

Were you asking about Finlay
Morris?

Is he awake?

He's dead.

Look, I'm - I'm gonna make you
talk to me anyway.

How about a hot drink?

If you're caught up in something,
I can help you

He wanted some pills to calm
him down, he was scared.

Do you want to talk about that?

Okay.

So Finlay was on his way
to get some tranquilisers when he was hit

his friend said he was anxious
about something he'd seen.

Did she say what?

No.
But then he was knocked over

so perhaps he was right to be
anxious.

- Hm.
- Do the Hendrys know?

Family Liaison
was there first thing.

We've been told about Finlay.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Mum says I'm not very good
at processing things.

It's a hard thing to process.

The death of your dad
and now your cousin.

Was Finlay scared about
something or...

someone in particular?

He didn"t really talk to me
much.

Would he have said anything
to your mum or your sister?

They"re inside if you wanna
ask.

Who"s this?

Found him on the road. He
can't fly.

Could you help me with him?

Well you know, you could er,
take him to a vet, they know

I can't drive.

Maybe an Uber?

So a friend saw Finlay
shout at the driver of the car

something about not keeping
quiet anymore.

She couldn"t see the driver
though.

Then he was run over
by a green four by four.

Sounds like
he might"ve witnessed the m*rder

wanted something for it
and then someone decided to shut him up.

Finlay also owned a green four
by four.

CCTV"s got it driving a few streets away
half an hour after the accident.

When Finlay was in hospital.

So, either it was
coincidentally stolen

or the driver run him over
with his own truck.

Good. Let's find it.

And we've isolated
an unknown DNA at the yard.

Could be something.

- Could be our k*ller.
- Mm.

Well that"s the best we've got
so far.

You said he had something
from the pub manager?

Yeah, he said
he let Finlay use the phone

the morning after the m*rder.

The number he called was registered
to a Mandy. How son.

I've got her home and work
address.

Well you do one, I'll do the
other?

Play nicely.

What's that?

- It's a pigeon.
- Right.

- A word.
- Terrific.

So obviously we're all thrilled
about the body count doubling

anyone near to being arrested?

We're a new unit.

Well you know Michael,
they're not completely new.

I remember him being a lot
funnier.

Yeah that"s what happens.
I used to be hilarious.

I've arranged for a press
conference today

clear it up Annika,

was this not day one
of that leadership course?

Er, yeah. Day two.

I thought we were getting
a press officer?

Yeah, well look
let"s just try to get through it

I've got my daughter"s play in -
well, pretty much now.

Er, okay ladies and gentlemen

you"ve read the statement
about the deaths of Arthur Hendry

and Finlay Morris.

Er, we're treating both deaths
as suspicious

and I would urge anyone
with any information

to contact the Marine Homicide
Unit.

DS McAndrews
will give you the contact numbers.

He"ll give you them in due
course.

Were both murders
at the boat yard?

That information
hasn"t been made public.

The hit and run
was outside the Foxglove Hotel.

Two people in the same family,
could it be a serial k*ller?

We're steering clear
of speculation thanks.

Yeah. Er, especially erm,

stuff like that.

But you haven"t ruled it out?

Rest assured we're working hard
to solve this case.

In the meantime, try to avoid releasing
unauthorised information

it doesn"t help us or the
family.

Just trying to do my job here.

As are we all. We're done.
Thanks for coming.

Specially you.
You're a real treat.

Who the hell is she?

Why didn"t you wrestle her to
the ground?

- You know, we used to be better at this?
- I went for your job.

What, leading the unit?

I've lived in this city most
of my life

I don"t know how many bodies
I've pulled out of its waters

that job is mine Annika.

Ah.

That"s the
standard we're aiming at, okay?

Mandy How son?

What's this about?

The murders of Arthur Hendry
and Finlay Morris.

No. No you don"t.

They"ve got nothing to do with
me.

- How about you come with me Mandy?
- Stay where you are.

Everyone leave.

Look, I'm just here cos Finlay
called you.

Get away from me, I'm not
involved.

That swear'st grace
o'erboard

not oath on shore?
Hast thou no mouth by land?

What is the news?

It's you.

So when did Tyrone last check
in?

Half an hour
ago. Haven"t heard from him since.

Okay. Blair, look I - I've
gotta go

I'm at my daughter"s play.

Well you - you track him down
and then leave me a message.

- What are you doing back here?
- Couldn"t get a seat.

You look - transformed.

Don"t want to go on.

That swear'st grace
o'erboard,

not oath on shore?
Hast thou no mouth by land?

What is the news?

The best news
is that we have safely found

our king and company.

The best news is that I
get taken in a crappy boat

to a crappy school
to be in a totally crappy play.

Why would you do
that?

They're unlikely to follow us
on water.

I meant hit the alarm.

So, you're not tonight"s
talking point

Why would you say that on stage,
more to the point?

You told me
to give out boat information.

Okay look it's fine
if drama"s not your bag

we"ll find you a different club

how about gymnastics?

Could sign you up tomorrow.

Can't I find my own thing?

I would - I would be delighted
if you did.

Take you to anything. Seriously.

- At any time.
- In this boat?

- Or - or in the car.
- The car"s even worse.

Look that car is - is
a 900 turbo classic from 1993

which is the er, same year
that REM had a number one with-...

Tyrone"s being held hostage

- at the sports centre.
- Why have you given me this?

Is this pigeon my new support
animal?

I'm at the scene with an AR
unit.

Oh my god.

Her name is Mandy How son she's
armed and in the room with Tyrone.

She"ll only talk to the boss.

It's an overrated role.

Mandy!

My name"s Annika.

Can you let me know
if my officer"s all right?

He's stressing me out.

I'm gonna come in.

I'm quite stressy too

but then I've - I've just been
watching a teenager in The Tempest.

How"s it going?

I"ve got nothing to do with
this.

So why are you pointing that
at my officer?

- He was trying to arrest me.
- Just wanted to ask some questions.

How about we swap him out,
you'll still have me and we can chat?

Okay.

You were talking about Finlay.

We used to work together
at the boatyard.

He called me all the time
I can't help that.

He was freaked out about
something, said he only trusted me.

The last couple of days there
were loads.

Mandy, I need to see you.

Something bad happened.

And I don"t know what to do.

Pick up Mandy.

I swear to god, it's got out of
hand.

I'm not safe anymore.

What got out of hand?

I don"t know do I?

Did you call him back?

No. I need to move on

and I can't when he keeps
calling.

Move on from what?

You ever been blamed
for someone"s death?

Have you got any idea what
that"s like?

Okay, I - okay, look

you"ve threatened an officer,
you know I have to bring you in.

But we"ll look after you, you won't be
charged with anything you didn"t do.

I promise.

I am a really good Detective.

I always get to the truth.
Well, mostly.

Cross checking Mandy"s
DNA with the unknown at the crime scene.

You sound sure it's
her.

Well she did just hold
me hostage for an hour

that"s not nothing.

She's being processed by the
duty officer.

Well Finlay"s messages sounded
like he really wanted Mandy"s help.

Alright, I'll lead the
interview with her.

She said that she"d been
blamed for someone"s death.

Okay, that too then.

Morgan!

Are you okay?

I mean if you need to er, talk
to someone.

I've had worse. See you in the
morning.

Morgan!

Ha, okay, there you are. Where
are you?

Morgan"s dad isn't involved.

It's a choice I made.

Could've done with the help
when she was a baby.

Didn"t realise that even at 15

it"d be handy just to, I dunno,

have someone saving me a seat
at the school play.

Or even just to tell me where
she bloody is from time to time.

You know.

Oh.

The pigeon went crazy in the
house, I didn"t know what to do.

Oh, it's alright.

- The vet"s setting his wing.
- Okay but can you answer your mobile?

I got worried on my own.

New house. You'll get used to
it.

Why don"t you bring anyone
home?

You know, like boyfriends.

Cos, I don"t go
to exciting social groups

like gymnastics club.

Don"t joke. Is it because of
me?

No. God, why would you think
that?

I can be crazy too.

Excuse me.

How much!

So how come Finlay
could afford a four by four?

He did ill*gal hunting
trips with Arthur on the side

That"s why they have a harpoon
on the boat, and it's another reason

I didn"t wanna talk to him.

Or any of them.
That and the drowning.

You were employed by the Hendrys
when the drowning happened, yeah?

It was three years ago.

Aquatic Watch was called Ocean
Life then.

I was just a guide,
it was a holiday job.

This one Saturday we had
terrible weather

shouldn"t have been out at all

and Danny Hendry was
driving the boat really erratically

hitting all the big waves side
on.

A 19 year old girl, Blanche,
went overboard.

Drowned.

Her?

Blanche Sutherland.

She was just a student.
Her mum and dad were on board too

Still remember them screaming.

They couldn"t swim but the dad
Robert nearly jumped in anyway

I had to hold them back.

I got blamed to protect the
company.

Even though it was Danny"s
fault.

I was nearly prosecuted,
I lost everything.

I'm only just surviving.

So, you can see why, you know

You pointed a crossbow at my
head.

Thought I was being blamed
for another death.

Wish the Sutherlands
never stepped foot on that boat.

I think they wish the same.

Anything from Mandy"s
interview?

Well she definitely hates the
Hendrys.

They sacked her when a customer
drowned

she says it wasn't her fault.

But she's not a suspect.

She was at home during both
murders

we've got the footage
from her block"s video doorbell

This is the family of the
drowned girl, the Sutherlands.

They never got over it
apparently.

I mean the insurance paid a
decent settlement to the Sutherlands

Ocean Life were fined,
and rebranded as Aquatic Watch

but they"ve struggled.

Still struggling.

Online complaints about an old boat,
grumpy guides, no whales. Pretty grim.

And I think it's worth a -
a trip to the Sutherlands,

the company lost their daughter.

Would they wait three years
to get back at 'em?

It's how long Captain Ahab
stayed mad,

and thus for you Michael

No, I enjoyed it.

Still got your albatross.

Not for long.
Has no one touched any of these?

Hey, you seen Danny Hendry?

I think they're all
out.

That one of his rescues?

Well it started as one of his.

Quite intense, really.

You known the family long?

I know Trish from school.

- She gets a bit frustrated with him.
- In what way?

Brother, sister stuff.

Last one was a few days ago when
she couldn "t go to her dad"s party

think the rest of them
gave her a hard time.

She didn"t go to the
restaurant?

Want me to say you called?

Thanks.

You weren"t at the Green Garden
the night of your father"s death.

I never said I was.

Your mother did
when she reported him missing.

Why would she lie?

Look I wasn't there
because I was meeting a guy

who might buy the business
You can check.

He's got some charter boats at
the docks

She protects us.

She must've said I was there
out of instinct.

I don"t need it but she does it
anyway, makes things worse.

How many boats do you have?

Just that one for the tours.

But Danny"s got a little sail
boat.

Haven"t seen it for a few days, he
might"ve moored it somewhere else.

Oh.

Just a second Tyrone.

We've also released Arthur"s
belongings,

his er, wallet, his wedding
ring.

If you wanna let your mum know.

Say again?

I'm at the Sutherland"s,

there's no answer
but the door was open.

- It's pretty creepy.
- Uh-huh.

Okay, Tyrone, please don"t make
me come out with an armed unit again.

Ah, thought you enjoyed it.

Yeah.

Hold on. There's some sort of
shrine to the Sutherland"s daughter.

Her husband Robert"s been
missing since the night of the m*rder.

- Mm
- They"d gone in to town

and seen Arthur Hendry

came home, Robert got drunk,
and he went out in a rage.

Could've gone to the boatyard.

What did they do to her?

She's dehydrated. He was her
carer.

Hi, er, I need an alert out
for Robert Sutherland

we're sending you an image
and description now

and er, could you also
put me through to the lab.

That"s it, again,
again.

Come on you lot.

Can you do that?

Yeah, definitely. It's all
that I do.

This is my dad"s idea.
He thinks I've got bad posture.

My dad doesn"t even know
what kind of posture I've got.

Or anything about me actually.

Come on girls.

Gotta say, that was the best
school play I've ever seen.

We've got his phone
pinging off a mast nearby

on the night of the m*rder, then
nothing.

So, he kills Arthur,
he takes Danny"s boat

and then escapes to sea.

Anything from the coastguard
on the boat yet?

Coastguard is
searching now.

You were right. Sutherland"s
DNA is at the crime scene.

So, he was definitely there.

Yeah.

But we haven"t got it yet.

We've got motive, we've got a suspect
who"s done a runner, and we've got DNA.

What else do we need?

Three people were at the
restaurant for Arthur Hendry"s birthday

and we thought Arthur was the missing
one because, well, he was being m*rder*d.

But it was Trish who didn"t
show.

So what does that mean?

You don"t escape by sea
if you can't swim.

It's not Sutherland on that
boat.

I think it's Arthur Hendry.

So, if Arthur"s alive,
who the hell"s in the morgue?

I got the lab to cross check the
DNA with the body in the morgue too.

And it's Sutherland?

The Hendrys did a switch.
I'll get their location.

All Isla had to do was lie
when she ID"d the body

it's probably a spur of the
moment thing but it's not a bad plan.

So, which one of them
put the harpoon in Sutherland?

I take a bet on it being the one
they"ve been protecting all these years.

Boss, the Hendry house is empty
and their boat"s missing from the yard.

Okay.

How did you work out the
switch?

If you fish for mackerel
you don"t wear a wedding ring.

- That"s it?
- Yeah.

Sure you know where he is?

He set the coordinates,
he"ll be exhausted.

Go any faster?
They're nearly on us?

Going as fast as I can.

Let"s not do this on the boat.

We know what happened Danny

You k*lled Robert Sutherland.

He came down the yard

he's shouting about his
daughter.

There was a fight.

He was yelling at me.

And I tried to get off the boat

but he didn"t let me off.

So - so, I grabbed the spear g*n

he tried to take it off me.

And it went off.

It was an accident.

If it was then you"ll get
your chance to explain.

But I have explained.

The whales are close.

You can almost feel them
coming up to the surface.

Just to breathe.

That"s all they're doing.

But it gets hard to breathe
up here sometimes doesn"t it?

You know, son, it's okay,
we"ll go back.

- You shouldn"t have tried to help.
- Okay Danny, let"s go.

Danny!

Danny! Danny!

Suspect overboard, alert the
coastguard.

- The coastguard"s spotted the boat.
- Where?

Halfway to bloody Norway.
Sorry, not bloody.

I hit a fire alarm yesterday

my daughter was on stage

she said something that
would've made her life difficult

and so I got the whole school
evacuated.

Didn"t even think twice about
it.

That"s how I tried to help.

I don"t need to hear about
your day.

Danny shot Robert Sutherland.

You put Arthur"s stuff on him,
dumped him in the water.

And you think that"s the same
as hitting a fire alarm?

Yeah. A bit. No one saw me
though.

Finlay saw you.

So you ran him over. In his own
car.

It just all spiral led.

There was a moment when I was
at school

I was 16, and - and my mum
and dad were going back to Norway

I said I couldn't come.

I wanted to stay and be a
detective.

I blurted it out,
I think I even surprised myself.

Anyway, they went back on their
own.

And er...

I got free of the life they
wanted for me.

Not everyone"s so lucky.

I didn"t check the restaurant
properly.

That"s on me.

We all miss something.

Me next probably,
don"t beat yourself up about it.

Unless that"s your thing.

Maybe it is.

Your kids are how old now?

- Eight, ten and twelve.
- Oh wow, you - you had a - a routine?

Is that on her birthday or
yours?

Got a new weather balloon.

Launch it from the roof
headquarters. Wanna come Mike?

Yeah.

- In the same box?
- Yes please, thanks.

Captain Ahab
only slept with his wife once,

before he went back to the
ocean.

That one time gave him a child
though

which he never saw.

It's not clear how Mrs Ahab
dealt with being a single parent.

Perhaps she put the kid in drama
club

thinking it"d help her
and just made everything worse.

There you
go.

Thanks.

- Everybody hurts.
- Bit dramatic.

No, I mean that was number one
in 1993.

REM.

Me bringing people home,

is this about having a dad?

It's about having a life.

This is what I want for you
too.

Difference is, I met a girl
today.

Oh, like a, what a girl -
whoa, what, at gymnastics?

- Near gymnastics.
- I knew it.

You didn"t know it.

You're a terrible detective I
don"t know how you got that job.

Because I am a woman of
enormous insight

and - and -
and great powers of perception.

- Oo.
- Oo.

The pigeon seems a lot
better.
