54 Alice lets herself in. Closes the door. The flat is graceful, austere, almost Japanese. Except for the walls, which are hung with FRAMED IMAGES FROM THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE - both gorgeous and forbidding: VAST GALAXIES, EXPLODING STARS. The only human images are ALBERT EINSTEIN and ROBERT OPPENHEIMER. She enters the LIVING ROOM. Looks at the emptiness. Takes comfort from it. EXT. LUTHER HOME - NIGHT 3 - 22.23 55 55 Luther rings the bell. He’s agitated. He waits there for a moment. Then Zoe answers the door. Doubly devastating in an evening dress. LUTHER Wow! New dress! (realising it’s not for his benefit) Oh - you had a dinner. Of course. You look nice! ZOE Come in. INT. LUTHER HOME, LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 3 - 22.24 56 56 Luther follows her into the living room. She doesn’t sit. Just picks up a glass of wine - not her first - and stands there, anxious and tense. LUTHER What’s wrong? ZOE You look tired. LUTHER I’m all right. What’s the matter? ZOE
John, I know what you came here to discuss. But before you say anything, you need to know: I met somebody. LUTHER I’m sorry?
