That must mean that Harry was also present for whatever went down with Vaughn, John and Maya.

I thought Lucas said 1978, I could be wrong, but I'm not sure if it was about what happened in Africa with John/Lucas thing....I'm just confused now....

I tried to post this last night (USA last night=approx 8AM in England) and kept getting forbidden messages. Did we get hacked?

-------------------------
I just checked, Lucas said Colon? 1979, investigating the Red Army (made me think China, I'm a dummy) and East Germany.

I guess was was hearing what I wanted to help solve the mystery.

I did notice this time that Malcolm gave Lucas a glare as he walked in the door. He knew everything.

Spoiler: show

I still think Lucas is being played by everyone. Vaughn said if Lucas wanted answers, to do what he asked. This says to me that he doesn't have answers so doesn't really know what he's doing.

I also think Malcolm called him John deliberately to see what his reaction would be. Malcolm must know what's in the Albany file in order to have a decoy buried in his garden and probably also knows, along with Harry, about Lucas' past and they accept it because in order to be a Spook you have to have a dark side otherwise you wouldn't be able to operate. Although at first shocked that he appeared to let Danielle die rather than have her tell anyone about the detour to Malcolm's and the Albany file I did think she died within a few seconds of him removing his finger from the arterial bleed so didn't actually kill her and seemed genuinely saddened rather than evil at that point.

And about Danielle, she got shot while in the trunk, they then ran somewhere and she finally collapsed. It's amazing she lasted that long. While he did hesitate a second or two when she said she would never mention Albany, he didn't let her die. There is no way that he could hang up on an emergency call and then call back when someone was dead. No way he could 'splain it away.

The expression on his face was not evil, it was more his thinking how he messed it all up and what it led to. Add to that, if he had gone back to the grid on schedule, he would have walked in with her before he had a clue they were being spied on and there was no way anyone could have warned him.

I have an idea which I hope and pray is not where this is going.

Remember the episode with Tom Quinn where they shut down the grid and faked all kinds of catastrophe to test his nerves under pressure. This could be something like that. It would be the worst letdown in television history. Please god no.
