Luther Series 3 Episode 3

[hestia8]

 

1. I hate how short this series is. Haaaaaaaate.
2. I have been offline since before this episode aired, once I realised I was going to miss it. It has been sooooooo hard.
3. Gosh! Normal people! Having normal fun! This is clearly going to go badly badly wrong!
4. Watching this show is a bit like watching Casualty, you’re continually anticipating the bad thing.
5. Oh, there it is.
6. Ahahahaha, and the bad thing’s promptly attacked by an even worse thing, well done everyone.
7. I was just wondering how they were going to spin a teenage gang into one of Serious & Serial’s normal cases.
8. “You’ve still got love in your voice.”
9. Oh, John.
10. Hang on, this must be the next morning!
11. CONVERSATION
12. He’s so confused
13. “You’ve never asked me in. Not ever.”
14. And Luther’s so happy!
15. “He’s my mate. And I love him.”
16. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
17. THIS IS GOING TO GO SO BADLY WRONG
18. Seems odd to be having a conversation about this website without Benny there. It’s kind of his thing, surely? (I know he doesn’t normally leave the office)
19. “The chances of containing this are basically three-eighths of sod all.”
20. AAAARGH NO
21. Fucking suspense aaargh
22. Someone doesn’t appreciate the concept of obstructing an investigation
23. OH MY GOD, Stark and Gray, clutching at straws much?
24. Seriously, you loons, what the fuck are you playing at?
25. This is getting super annoying, actually. And this is in NO WAY legit.
26. “Justin. I think it’s time you move on, mate.”
27. AAAAGH FEELINGS CONVERSATION AAAGH
28. DAMN IT, SCHENK
29. Depressing, depressing, depressing
30. “It’s like he’s training for the zombie apocalypse.”
31. Amazing
32. Ooooh, where are Luther and Mary meeting? I feel like that should be familiar.
33. LOOK! SNOW ON THE GROUND!
34. Ok, look, I know that sounds bizarre but omg it’s been 30 degrees during the day for a good few days now, I’ve gone a bit mad.
35. “They had a file on you.”
36. “What did you do?” “Nothing, I did nothing.”
37. How much time does Justin spend on his phone in this show, seriously?
38. Oh John, I know it will be SUPER hard but try not to lose your temper, that’s what they want.
39. “What are you scared of, huh?” “I’m scared of what this is turning into.”
40. Oh Erin, why on earth you thought this dude was going to be a better bet than Luther I don’t even know.
41. Aaaaaaaah they’re ACTUALLY circling each other.
42. “I’ll match you bite for bite and in the end we’ll see who’s standing, alright?”
43. Oh, fuck off, Stark.
44. “George, if you sow these seeds…” “And what? I reap the whirlwind? You know your problem? You’ve spent your life thinking you’re the whirlwind. Well, you’re not. I’m the whirlwind, John. I’m the whirlwind.”
45. There are not enough ladies this series.
46. Oh, good, from the trailer I thought that shot of the dude with the gun was for Justin (not based on any evidence, mind you).
47. Hahahahaha oh John
48. I was kind of expecting this dude’s code to be a bit stronger than this, tbh. Shooting at the first police officer that catches up with you? Tsk tsk.
49. Er, if you want them locked up, why are you killing them?
50. “Not the motive, maybe, but I seriously dispute the means.”
51. “You’ve never been tempted? To deliver a bit of personal justice?”
52. HAHAHA
53. “Tom. You know they’re going to kill you? This is how all these things end.”
54. Oh this is good
55. Er. Well, Erin, what reaction did you expect?
56. “So what, is this like a Derren Brown thing? [pause] Mind reader, mentalist, reading minds thing?”
57. hahahahaha!
58. “You don’t want to read my mind right now. It’s full of scorpions.”
59. “Justin, I think I might have taken a wrong turn somewhere along the way.”
60. This is really good
61. “Listen, we’ll put it right, but I really do need to go.”
62. JUSTIN
63. Oh ERIN. You’re almost worse at being normal than John.
64. (I really do not want Erin/Justin but I can’t tell if that’s coming or they’re just friends)
65. OH NO DON’T GO AFTER MARY YOU GIT
66. Oh my God, Mary, I feel so bad for you right now.
67. I could have sworn in the pre-series stuff they talked about her owning a flower shop, but this is a vintage clothes shop. I do wonder about the things I misremember sometimes.
68. “Well, he had a gun to your head, so I think it’s more a case of him letting you go.”
69. Joooooooohn
70. AGAIN WITH THE FORENSICS SUITS
71. OH HANG ON IT’S SPOOKS 803 (I love the plot of that episode)
72. “Do you understand social networking?” “No.”
73. “We both know there’s nothing more potent than private pain made public.”
74. “I don’t get to choose who should live and who should die, even if I hate them myself.”
75. skakfjsdfjdlsjfldjf
76. “I want you to plead for Dennis Cochrane’s life.”
77. LJKFDSKJFLFSDLKFL:KF
78. Jesus fuck, this is depressing.
79. “And the message is… the message is, kill him!”
80. Oh, Christ, I knew that was going to happen.
81. It would be fucking hilarious if Mary gets into the flat and Alice is there
82. Well this is just getting disturbing
83. Tbh this plotline could do a whole series on its own
84. It’s also a bit similar to the White Rabbit segment of Black Mirror (also starred Michael Smiley)
85. Again, this dude’s actions don’t seem to quite fit in with his stated motives – setting up the guy to be hanged then running off when the police turn up?
86. “What I need you to do, Justin, I need you to back away.” “Can’t do it.”
87. [rest of scene not quoted due to ULTIMATE SADFACE]
88. JUSTIN!
89. Oh no
90. FUCK DAMN IT, I FUCKING KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!
91. God, I hate being right sometimes (Warren Brown finished filming before Idris Elba, he was doing promo this week, he did a Q&A on Twitter after the episode)
92. Oh Justin
93. Oh no! But also. He knew Mary’s name, how does he get Luther’s address?
94. Bloody hell Alice, come back and sort this dude out, please
