The character first appeared as a regular in NBC's Homicide: Life on the Street (1993) and later carried over to become a regular on the equally long-running SVU.

- Quotes
DSU Rose Teller: So, they won't give us what we want. We can't give them what they want.
DCI John Luther: No. Can't give it to them, but we can lend it to 'em.
DSU Rose Teller: Meaning?
DCI John Luther: Let's visit the evidence safe.
DSU Rose Teller: Don't wanna hear it.
DCI John Luther: Boss, these are very special circumstances; same rules do not apply.
DSU Rose Teller: Chain of evidence is like the ten commandments: it applies unto time and all eternal. Anything in the evidence safe is sacrosanct; we tamper, we risk voiding active cases.
DCI John Luther: Only if we get found out.
DSU Rose Teller: Am I actually having this conversation? Are you actually saying this to me?

Luther is on the case, and worse, he's got one of his own team working against him.
This episode will have you absolutely on the edge of your seat, it's fast paced, energetic, one of those that starves you of oxygen, as you're frightened to breathe and miss something.
The twist comes as yet another layer, outstanding.
It's terrific, everything is on point, best of all though, the acting, Elba and Wilson once again are fiendishly good.
Ross McCallis absolutely wonderful as Sugarman, it's a showstopping performance from him, I can't remember detesting a character so much.
Tremendous, 10/10.
