Seems rather ironic that Harry would choose to tell Lucas to "keep the faith" in his final moments? It was rather obvious that Lucas would not take kindly to the idea of being locked up again, this time directly by Harry, and in his own country. Surely it would have been obvious to Harry that Lucas would have been in a position where he had nothing left to lose? So why tell him "Pactum Serva"? It implies that Harry wanted Lucas to live, and to stay where he could "keep an eye on him", yet Harry never tried to help Lucas.

Harry's line was "Pactum Serva, whatever the cost", meaning that he would defend the country whatever the cost, he was saying this to Lucas's realization that Maya had been sacrificed for nothing and Harry didn't do a damn thing because to Harry, it was all about the faith and the service.

Harry always expects his people to be strong enough to take it, not realizing that not everyone is like him, maybe now faced with what happened to Lucas, it will make him realize, although I doubt it. Harry Pearce didn't try hard enough to save Lucas, he will always be about the service. He sacrificed innocent lives for the greater good, his agents for the greater good, so what's two more lives with Maya and Lucas.

I doubt Harry really realized what those 8 years did to Lucas. He expects people to just pick up the pieces and move on, he never did try hard enough to help Lucas. In a lot of ways, Harry was just as much responsible for how Lucas turned out than Lucas or Vaughn.
