• DCI John Luther : [after barging in on Stark's operation, observing photos on the wall]  Do you remember that show This Is Your Life? It's like the big red book. Except for all these people are dead. Well, most of them.

  DSU George Stark : Don't make it any worse for yourself.

  DCI John Luther : And who are you, exactly?

  DSU George Stark : Me? DSU George Stark.

  DCI John Luther : [scoffs]  I'll tell you what, George. You're a big man, and I'm tired. But if we are gonna take lumps out of each other, it won't be the first one I've had tonight. And someone's gonna have to find out. Your boss, my boss. And they'll ask why, how I just walked in on your... operation. And how I walked out of here with all the evidence you've got against me. What's that gonna do to your reputation, eh? Now, you can continue if you want. Chase me down.

  [gets up and looms over Stark] 

  DCI John Luther : But if you take me down, I'll take you down even faster and even harder.

• [Paul enters Ayesha's room and sees Luther beside her] 

  DCI John Luther : Hope you don't mind, Paul, but I gave Ayesha a call. Asked if I could sneak up here with her. Hmm? Well, go on, say something.

  Paul Ellis : Ahh!

  [lunges at Luther with a knife]
