Luther The Fallen Sun Ending Explained
From what we know after watching the film, the moonlighting serial killer and billionaire use his crooked resources to get DCI John Luther dismissed from his position and transported into a highly dangerous prison.
The detective learns about the involvement of the serial killer in his arrest and tries to pass on hints to the new DCI Odette Raine, who ignores them completely. She even mentions a punishment of solitary confinement if Luther attempts to reach her again from prison.
Moreover, things become even more difficult for the former detective, after his fellow prisoners decide to settle scores with Luther. However, the disgraced DCI makes use of his own intellect and strength to escape the situation and eventually flee from the prison facility.
