I think Harry is done with betrayal, he doesn't want to be affected by it and wants Lucas to feel and suffer for it, and that's why he said "Betrayal is a cancer, let it eat your soul and not mine". Saying with that, he wanted to have a clear conscience, if Lucas is really a traitor, let him take his own mask and choose sides.

That quote about betrayal is interesting, isn't it? Why is he saying that to Lucas whilst giving him back his gun and letting him go after Vaughn? It makes me think that Harry is actually saying to Lucas: 'Go and take care of Vaughn, and then disappear, because if you stay around I will be reminded of your betrayal every day, and it will eat my soul as well as yours.'

At that stage, Harry still had no idea that Lucas is after the Albany file, of course. I wonder, if Lucas had actually told Harry about Maya, Albany and the Chinese, whether Harry would still have let him go?
