This line got to me more than his anger.

Because this is the first real glimpse into John’s psyche. He is frightened by himself, because he is always drawn to dangerous situation, which is a part of himself he is uncomfortable with, and possibly even afrIaid of. It is verging on masochism.

He’s tried to turn his life around, and live a completely normal life. Because that is what’s expected of him. He just wants to have a shot at a normal life, even if it’s not what he truly desires. His love of danger makes him scared of himself, and he’s trying to move on from it.

Then he learns the truth about Mary. It must be such a punch in the gut for him. Because after all this time, inspite of all his efforts, he hasn’t managed to change anything at all. Once again he’s been drawn towards danger. He was trying so hard to just be normal.

In this scene he seemed truly devestated. He is once again afraid of his own mind. He thought he was passed it, but it’s come back to haunt him once again.

Also, kudos to Martin Freeman for an absolutely breathtaking performance.
