I admit I have no well-thought-out theory to back this up. But it could be made to fit with the Chinese cell in 9.4 having the still-unexplained picture of him.

I think it's interesting that so much of John's backstory was told / suggested to him by Vaughan, even down to the chilling (and brilliant) part about being a killer waking up. There is possibly something here to underline the fact that Lucas really has not been in control of his own life for a very long time.

Feel free to destroy this mini-theory at will!

We have to assume Harry and Malcolm know what's in the Albany file since they've made such efforts to hide it away so then surely Harry wouldn't have been so disgusted and angry about Lucas' story because he'd already have known. I'm afraid Lucas has been totally in control of his life up until the moment Vaughn popped up with that suitcase.

Welcome by the way.

Thank you This is a good point regarding Harry's reaction to the grim goings-on in Dakkar. But now I have another question! How did Harry know immediately that Malcolm mentioned he had "received a visit from Lucas I'm afraid" that it must have been about Albany? Up to this point, as far as I can recall, there has been no discussion of Albany either involving or in front of Harry. Of all the dodgy reasons that could have come to Harry's mind to explain evil!John's visit to the suburbs, why should it be Albany that suggested itself so readily? And why did Malcolm seem to agree that there ws such an inevitability about the visit being motivated by Albany? *is just frastratingly confused and really not liking it!*
