DCI John Luther quotes from Luther

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

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

Do you feel better putting it right?

DCI John Luther

Did you hurt her?

Who?

DCI John Luther

Alice. Did you?

Why would I?

DCI John Luther

Because you wanted me to keep my promise. You had to stop me from leaving.

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?

Clearly not.

DCI John Luther

Well, you should be. Because I'm coming for you.

DCI John Luther

Can you breathe?

Yeah.

DCI John Luther

Shame, that.

What did you do?

DCI John Luther

Nothing I can't fix. I just need time.

Can I stop you from leaving?

DCI John Luther

No.

Then I won't try.
