Mm, that is a particularly poignant scene. I do wonder if that's Lucas' attempt to leave his past behind him? If he cuts of the link to Elizabeta, then the only other link to the man he once was is Harry (and the service) which would explain why his relationship with Harry (and consequently MI5) is quite intense. I suppose in a way his worst fears were confirmed when he realised Elizabeta was working for the FSB - he really can't trust anyone, not even his ex-wife.
