The murderer's fifth and final truth is the public's indifference to child labour, with millions of children being exploited daily in order to produce goods as cheaply as possible. Since they are not our own children we don't care, but when a school bus full of children disappears, suddenly we sit up and take notice. To save the children, the murderer demands that five large companies which benefit indirectly from child labour should be set on fire by the general public. Saga increasingly suspects that the perpetrator is one of their own - a police officer. (BBC)

A truly interesting episode. The investigation took a detour in the wrong direction, but the Nordic atmosphere they've created is just something else – slightly depressive, but in a captivating way. There's this constant tension in the air, and the friction between the two investigators is growing, adding an extra layer of intrigue. On top of that, the creators threw in some thought-provoking topics that really got me thinking. Strangely enough, Saga Norén's views are growing on me, despite her having Asperger's syndrome. It's got me questioning myself a bit. Especially her theory about small people is surprisingly logical (albeit lacking in emotions), and it resonated with me. / Lesson learned: When someone offers you to spend a night at their place, don't be shocked when it's just a sleepover.
