Luther, Series 4

DCI John Luther:
Come with me, please.

George Cornelius:
Sorry, mate, who are you again?

DCI John Luther:
Police.

George Cornelius:
Which police?

DCI John Luther:
The police.

George Cornelius:
I don't care if you're fucking Sting.

DCI John Luther:
You ever have that dream where you're falling?

DS Justin Ripley:
Yeah.

DCI John Luther:
Do you ever wake up in it?

Mrs. Morley:
[on phone] Hello?

Steven Rose:
Hello. Is this Alastair's mum?

Mrs. Morley:
Who is this?

Steven Rose:
I was with him... when he died.

Mrs. Morley:
Who are you?

Steven Rose:
He was asking for you at the end. When he couldn't fight anymore. "Mum... Mum..." He was so scared of dying.

DCI Theo Bloom:
Got to go. Vivid misdeeds in Hackney Wick.

DCI John Luther:
Can I help?

Megan Cantor:
Are you DCI Luther?

DCI John Luther:
Yeah.

Megan Cantor:
I have a message for you.

DCI John Luther:
Message from who?

Megan Cantor:
Alice Morgan.

DCI John Luther:
Well, there's this thing. Cotard's syndrome, okay? It's a delusional mental illness and the patient thinks that he's dead and decomposing.

DSU Martin Schenk:
And the cannibalism? That's a symptom?

DCI John Luther:
No, not usually. I mean, I'm making a... a leap. Well, it's a small leap... it's more of a hop, really.

DCI John Luther:
I think he's this clever, little lonely man, slowly falling apart, spending his days watching the lives of others. And you know what that's like... other people's lives seem so much better than ours. More interesting, more attractive, more alive. The way he sees it, they got something that he needs, so he's just going to take it from them. No, he's never going to stop, he's just going to keep doing it and doing it, because he'll never get back whatever he's lost. None of us ever do.

DCI John Luther:
They'll do her for intent to supply and then they'll upgrade to murder when they connect the toy to Jonathan.

Megan Cantor:
Do you feel better putting it right?

DCI John Luther:
Did you hurt her?

Megan Cantor:
Who?

DCI John Luther:
Alice. Did you?

Megan Cantor:
Why would I?

DCI John Luther:
Because you wanted me to keep my promise. You had to stop me from leaving.

Megan Cantor:
Hmm. It could be that. Or perhaps it could be that Alice Morgan... was your blind spot. You didn't love her, not really. She frightened you and she excited you... and you mistook that for love. But you would have killed her, eventually. If she didn't kill you first. Perhaps that's why I did it. [laughs] But I didn't.

DCI John Luther:
Megan... are you scared of me?

Megan Cantor:
Clearly not.

DCI John Luther:
Well, you should be. Because I'm coming for you.
