With great reluctance, he starts the engine, pulls away. Luther looks at the house. Unreadable. Steeling himself. He walks to the door - INT. MARK’S PLACE, LIVING ROOM - DAY 4 - 13.08 95 95 The doorbell rings. Mark looks out the window. His POV: John Luther - filthy, unshaven, dusted in grey ash - is at the door. He turns to Zoe. They share a look. EXT. MARK’S PLACE - DAY 4 - 13.08 95A 95A Luther keeps his finger on the doorbell. It rings and rings. Relentless. INT. MARK’S PLACE, LIVING ROOM - DAY 4 - 13.08 95B 95B Zoe can’t take it any more. She lifts her phone. Mark puts out a hand to stop her. MARK He’ll leave. Just let him go. ZOE No. Sod him. He doesn’t get to do this. She dials. Nine...nine...nine ZOE Police?...Look, I hate to do this, but it’s my ex-husband...I don’t know...you just need to come... In the background, the bell rings...and rings...and rings. Mark looks at Zoe with disquiet - he doesn’t like doing this - it doesn’t feel right. EXT. MARK’S PLACE - DAY 4 - 13.08 96 96 The door opens. Mark steps out. LUTHER Hi. Mark, right? MARK It’s Mark, yeah. You need to leave John. I called the police. Luther laughs at that. MARK This is mad. What do you want? LUTHER I just, I need to speak to Zoe.
