- DSU Rose Teller: Meaning?
- DCI John Luther: Let's visit the evidence safe.
- DSU Rose Teller: Don't wanna hear it.

- DSU Rose Teller: Chain of evidence is like the ten commandments: it applies unto time and all eternal. Anything in the evidence safe is sacrosanct; we tamper, we risk voiding active cases.
- DCI John Luther: Only if we get found out.
- DSU Rose Teller: Am I actually having this conversation? Are you actually saying this to me?
- DSU Rose Teller: The evidence won't leave our sight for a second?
- DCI John Luther: We'll get it back.
- DSU Rose Teller: We'd better, 'cause right this second, I'm peddling thin air like Wiley Coyote.
- DCI Ian Reed: You have any idea how lies I've told for you over the years for the shit you done?
- DCI John Luther: Yeah, well I never killed anyone, have I?
- DCI Ian Reed: Yeah, not for lack of trying.
- Daniel Sugarman: You give me 100% of what I want, you get back 100% of Jessica. You bring me 80% of what I want, you get 80% of Jessica, and so on. You take longer than an hour, you don't get to know how she died or where I dumped her.
