LUTHER by NEIL CROSS Episode 1
Page 55 .
MARK That’s not going to happen. Not today. You need to go. LUTHER Okay, I can see that. But here’s the thing - I need to speak to her. I really do. MARK Give her some time. Then call her, okay? But she’ll need time, a few days. LUTHER One minute. I know I’ve got no right to ask. But just one minute. MARK No. You need to go. LUTHER I can’t. MARK (shoves him) Leave her alone. Just leave her.
Luther stumbles. Steps forward again. LUTHER Seriously. Mark hits him. Luther falls. Then stands, grabs Mark - throws him with back-breaking force into a parked car. Which is when TWO POLICE CARS pull up. FOUR UNIFORMS emerge. LUTHER Oh, come on. The FIRST OFFICER takes Luther’s elbow. Luther shakes him off. The officer grabs him again. Luther shakes him off, more aggressively. LUTHER I just need to speak to my wife. All I want to do is speak to my wife. Shaking them off becomes resisting - resisting becomes a scuffle - then he disengages - backs away - holds up his hands - LUTHER Whoah! All right! I’m done! I’m done!
But they grab him - manhandle him - probably with excessive force, to the car.
