[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce 2.0

[Silktie]

Yeah, I just posted in the episode thread about this. He was lying about being able to salvage Lucas' career in an effort to persuade Lucas to turn himself in, and save them the trouble of hunting him down, I thought. But I don't think he sounded weird because he is the mastermind behind the whole thing and knows exactly what was going on, as others have speculated.

I think Harry in 9.8 may break my heart:

Series 9.8 Spoiler: show

NW said in an interview that we've never seen Harry so affected by events as we'll see him in 9.8. And the phone messages to his son and daughter?! Geez, you might as well hand me a tissue now. All this indicates to me that Harry is not involved in any way in creating this situation Lucas finds himself in.
