As police officers are killed by someone who appears to be military trained. As the death toll rises, and the attacker puts out a video, demanding his father be released – or more will die – Luther and the rest of the team scramble to get a hold on the situation before anyone else has to die. Knowing where the killer is, Luther confronts him alone and unarmed.
My Thoughts:
I understand the reasoning behind the hurry up and catch the bastard mentality this episode has… and I get that, as the audience, we have that dramatic Irony of knowing what’s about to happen before it does, but at the same time I feel like there were a lot of cock ups in this episode that could have been avoided, had the higher ups taken a breath and evaluated the circumstances.
Pretty much hate that dude’s dad right now. What a wanker. I think the thing about him I dislike the most, though, is that he’s a reality. And that is utterly depressing. And the son is a tragic case, but if he’s been so brainwashed by his father, then it’s really not safe to turn him loose.
This is one of those episodes where I am struck with the reality that guns are illegal in England and therefore the police don’t carry them… (As the daughter of a police officer, I’m used to seeing the standard issue strapped to a hip – even for detectives)
