The film Luther: The Fallen Sun concludes with John Luther being approached by a high-ranking civil servant, suggesting a new, perhaps unofficial, role for the detective after the intense events he has endured.
The Final Moments Unveiled
After the climactic events involving David Robey, the ending of Luther: The Fallen Sun sets up a compelling future for the titular character. The final sequence unfolds as follows:
- Luther's Emergence: Once John Luther has changed and is dressed, he and a companion exit the house where he has been recuperating or hiding.
- A New Contact: They are greeted outside by a man in a suit, identified as civil servant Tim Cranfield, portrayed by Guy Williams.
- A Mysterious Summons: Cranfield commends Luther on his work in the Robey case, acknowledging his unconventional but effective methods. He then informs Luther that "the chief would like a word" and motions for him to get into a waiting car.
- An Uncertain Future: The film ends with Luther entering the vehicle, leaving his exact destination and future role ambiguous. This suggests that despite his past controversies and imprisonment, Luther's unique skills and experience are still recognized and sought after, potentially by a branch of government or intelligence services beyond typical police work.
This conclusion serves as a significant cliffhanger, hinting that Luther's battle against crime and his complex moral compass will continue, possibly in an entirely new capacity.
