Alice: Now what?
DSU Schenk: I’d just like to run through it one more time. If I may. Who is this?
Alice: That’s John
DSU Schenk: John…
Alice: Luther.
DSU Schenk: And who is John Luther?
Alice: My friend.
DSU Schenk: How did you and John meet?
Alice: When I was suspected of killing my parents.
DSU Schenk: And after that you became… friends?
Alice: We grew close.
DSU Schenk: And how exactly would you characterise this closeness?
Alice: Well, we were… simpatico. And I pitied him.
DSU Schenk: How so?
Alice: He always seemed lost to me. Paddling furiously just to keep afloat. I wanted to help him.
DSU Schenk: And what form did this help take?
Alice: Oh, John had any number of vexations and I helped him in several ways.
DSU Schenk: Tell me about Ian Reid.
Alice: He was a friend who betrayed John and hurt very badly. So I killed him. Two barrels of his own shotgun. Boom boom.
DSU Schenk: And did John - and this is very important, Alice - did John ask you to do this?
Alice: Good heavens, no. He was absolutely livid. We had quite a tiff. Things were said. You’re not going to penalise John for my misdeeds… are you?
DSU Schenk: No, Miss Morgan.
Alice: Is he still a police officer?
DSU Schenk: Yes. He’s one of ours.
