Inspector Frank Bumstead: I've met quite a few murderers in the course of my work. Murdoch doesn't strike me as one. Dr. Daniel P. Schreber: Perhaps you are not accustomed to digging deep enough. Inspector Frank Bumstead: Well, I do know when someone is lying to me, Doctor. Dr. Daniel P. Schreber: Forgive me, Inspector, but you are not a clinician. Judging personalities happens to be my business. Inspector Frank Bumstead: Well, maybe you could give me a few pointers. Dr. Daniel P. Schreber: Certainly. Let's take you, for instance.

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.
Dialogue

Mr. Hand: I'm dying, John. Your imprint is not agreeable with my kind. But I wanted to know what it was like — how you feel. John Murdoch: You know how I was supposed to feel. That person isn't me. Never was. You wanted to know what it was about us that made us human. Well, you're not going to find it...[taps head] in here. You went looking in the wrong place.
