Luther: Series 1 Episode 6

As continued from episode 5 where Ian Reed shot Luther’s ex wife Zoe, Luther was on the phone when Ian shot her. He went to Zoe’s house as quickly as possible but Reed has already left. He has framed Luther, by smashing a picture frame, smashing the window/door and made a big mess. This is because he wanted to frame him, and by smashing everything will make it obvious that Luther done it as he is short tempered. Luther holds Zoe in his arm... he then realises that Ian has set him up so he runs away. In episode 6, Luther is now a suspect for the murder of his ex wife. Mark finds out Zoe is dead and thinks it was Luther, but later on he realises that it wasn’t Luther as Alice brought him to Luther and they talked and Luther explained that he didn’t do it. When the police was searching for evidence they found a gun, Luther and Alice both went and got the gun and cleaned it and threw it away, this was because the gun that Reed used to kill Zoe had Luther’s fingerprints on it as he was the one that gave him the gun. Towards the end Reed and Luther arrange to meet up and ‘talk’. Reed doesn’t come by himself; they are both surrounded by the police as they wanted to get Luther. Whilst they are together Mark has gone down to the station and went into reeds lockers and brings back some evidence to Luther just as reed walks in to check on his locker... he notices that there was something missing and luckily he had a camera in the locker and caught mark and went after him. Reed goes after mark and mark goes to meet up with Luther. Luther grabs reed and they start arguing and fighting, Luther get the gun off reed and holds it to his head but doesn’t shoot him... he throws the gun onto the floor and at this point reed gets a knife and stabs him and kicks him to the floor and starts shouting ‘you should have shot me when you had the chance’. Alice then steps in as she sees Luther suffering and says ‘Ian’ and wanted to shoot Ian but Luther kept saying no so she asked mark if he wanted him shot and he said yes so Alice shot him.
