The, um...flush is broken on the cubicle nearest the wall.
Is this an accusation? Of what?
But, if he's not, then I'll do my job properly and without hesitation.
Poor bastard, my arse. Poor Zoe!
'It's Ian, I think he's hurt her. Send a medic. Please.

And if circumstance warrant, you won't hesitate to give the kill order?
Poor bastard.
God knows they warned me, "He's nitro glycerine."
'We were taking it to the lab. He intercept us, DCI Schenk and me.' Shit.

I'm arrest you for the murder of Zoe Luther...
You blame me because you can't bear to confront what you've done.
He argue with her. That doesn't mean he did it. He was there.
Well, it's nice to see you retain your sense of humour.
And if circumstances warrant, you won't hesitate to give the kill order?
It's not suppose to be. It's just the way it is.
Yeah, wash the sheets.
Absolutely. It should be me. Yeah. Right, so, do you believe John Luther shot his wife tonight?
It turns out, people lie to themselves about three things.

Yes, I, er, I have somewhere to go...
Apparently. No, he's lying.
the evidence of the present can possibly justify.
Absolutely. It should be me. Yeah. Right, so, do you believe John Luther shot his wife tonight?
But, if he's not, then I'll do my job properly and without hesitation.
Well, who indeed?

Perhaps he knows who did it and he's gone after them.
but sometimes goodness attracts its own temptations.
Painful as it may be, I'm afraid the evidence currently tells us otherwise.
If you really believe that, deep down,
Something's happening that no-one else can quite see.
Is this actually happening?
Well, the press will get there soon enough.
Well, the press will get there soon enough.
The truth is, we're not here to talk "why". That comes later.
Painful as it may be, I'm afraid the evidence currently tells us otherwise.
Thing is, though, if he didn't do it,
And what's happening to you, is called a dissociative state.
Forensics in the house are circumstantial. This gun is hard evidence.

If we put you there, unprotected, he's going to kill you.

You're in pain, you're distressed.

'He might be insane, but he's not stupid.' You're a good man, Justin.
Tactical weapons support. If it looks for one moment...
