If not that he's done.

Well it is more than just for a woman, it is more about the terrible secret that he doesn't want to come out more than Maya. Maya and this secret is the leverage Vaughn is using against Lucas.

Don't you think that Harry already knows this secret.
I mean they go back to when you're in diapers before you can join any security service.
So what if Maya finds out? If she loves him, she'll forgive him.

I would think they would have found out, but considering the type of vetting security at MI5 and the number of moles that have wandered in and out of this place, I can't say I place much faith in their background checks anymore. There is only so many moles you can discover before it becomes rather silly. And considering the number of surprises and betrayals MI5 has faced over the last 9 series, I can not say with certainty that Harry knows.

And as for Maya finding out......that is where one has to understand Lucas's character and his desperation. Maya and MI5 are the ONLY things he has left in his life, he CAN'T risk ANY chance of losing them. It's not about Maya forgiving him or not, it's about that Lucas simply CANNOT face any chance that this secret will come out and ruin everything he has worked to gain. Maya is his chance at love, MI5 is his home, if he loses any of those things, he will be destroyed.

This is more about Lucas's psyche than anything else, he just simply CANNOT deal with the possibility that the truth can come out because it can go wrong at any time. He can't risk the chance of Maya's rejection or MI5's hate, he simply can't. This is his life, his everything, it's too big for him to risk losing.

Now, Lucas is too young to have been an agent in the late 1970's, he'd barely be out of his nappies! However, what about Vaughn?

*Koln/Cologne was part of West Germany prior to unification.

Hmmmm this is interesting indeed, it would certainly be cool if they can tie Vaughn back to old cases!!!
