I get the feeling Harry might know something about Lucas's past life. You would think Ruth in all her brilliance would have dug up something by now and told Harry. The handshake didn't seem sincere to me for some reason.

I do think Harry may know something, but not all of what happened, assuming that after what happened in Africa was when Lucas was recruited by MI5 or Harry himself, I would assume that Harry would at least try to find out about the person he's recruiting or take in as his "prodigy". For a man like Harry who seems to keep everyone at arm's length for most of the times, he wouldn't easily accept someone unless he really knew them, and I assume that since Lucas was Harry's "prodigy", there must have been some close connections.

I always assumed that Harry's suspicions towards Lucas only started building up since Lucas came back from the Russians.

Who knows....Lucas's life history is a bit of a mess, I think my brain hurts trying to decipher it...

As for the handshake and smile, I do agree that there is less sincerity involved in both acts, but I can glimpse what I think was a flash of pride in Harry's eyes as if he's proud of Lucas....maybe it's an act....

But then again, who else can Harry put as Section Chief with the experience to lead it except Lucas at this point.....
