• [last lines] 

  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] 

  Megan Cantor : 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.

• 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.
