So during the confrontation on the roof in 9.8 Harry knew that Lucas had lied about that, and the logical conclusion was that Lucas knew it was a bomb he was delivering to the embassy. Hence Harry asking him why he did it if he knew there was a bomb in the suitcase.

I was irritated by the simplicity of that scene, with Alex telling Harry they both recognised liars, what proof did Alex have, surely it was, at most, a gut feeling with no proof what so ever? If Harry had thought for one instance that Lucas was lying why let him leave. This scene was just a clumsy way for doubt to be seeded into Harry's mind, surely Harry would have needed more proof before he doubted Lucas' version of events.
Series 9 Lucas was supposed to be the accomplished liar, having fooled everyone for 15 years, but Alex listened to just one taped interview and concluded he was lying?
