Luther

DCSU Cornish: So, he's back. DSU Teller: From outer space. DCSU Cornish: You do know the man is nitroglycerin? DSU Teller: With respect, sir, a comprehensive investigation under your edict cleared him of any wrongdoing. DCSU Cornish: Not least because the only other witness is in a coma, measuring three on the Glasgow scale. DSU Teller: And Mia Dalton's in school today, and not in the ground. DCSU Cornish: Rose, if you bet too heavily on Luther, then you stand or fall with him and with you goes this unit, and my credibility as its architect. Haven't you worked too hard for too long to take that big a risk on such a wild card? DSU Teller: I don't consider him a risk. DCSU Cornish: Then what is he? DSU Teller: An investment. DCSU Cornish: And if Henry Madsen wakes up, gives his account of what happened that night? Will Luther drag us all down? Let's hope not.

Alice Morgan: Are you trying to beguile me? DCI Luther: [chuckles] No, I wouldn't be so foolish. But I will tell you this, Alice. You can revel in your brilliance for as long as you like, but people slip up. Happens time and time again. Alice Morgan: Well that's just faulty logic postulated on imperfect data collection. What if you only catch people who make mistakes? That would skew the figures, wouldn't it? DCI Luther: Yes, it would. But criminals aren't as smart as they think they are. Alice Morgan: Oh, that must get monotonous for someone as brilliant as you.

Alice Morgan: You'd degrade the law you serve just to protect some woman who cast you aside like offal? DCI Luther: [puts his wedding ring back on] In a second. Alice Morgan: And you think I'm the monster. Love is supposed to dignify us, exalt us. How can it be love, John, if all it does is make you lonely and corrupt? [Luther turns and walks away] Answer the question! Don't turn your back on me!
