I guess, at the worst, this is going to be one hell of a final showdown. TV at its best, I have no doubt.

RA's part is definitely in both films, the character he plays is a major character in the Hobbit stories, so if Martin Freeman is in both films, then RA will be too. But you are right, it is not impossible for him to do both, I guess we will have to wait.

Yes, surely they aren't THAT stupid....

LOL! Apparently a picture of Lucas's tatooes was able to turn Elizabeta into an FSB officer.....so clearly photographs have some magical abilities that we mere mortals don't know of!

MI5 should try that sometimes, maybe it will work too!!!

Most definitely AGREED!

EXACTLY! They spent 2 series creating this amazing character who, despite having some shady sides, has always been loyal to MI5 and Harry, surely they aren't going to just toss it all away in some ridiculous silly storyline! They OWE Lucas and Richard a better exit than this! They OWE the fans a better exit than this!!

Unless his secret past is so bad that continuing to work for MI5 is no longer an option once Harry finds out, after all Harry said he didn't like liars, and this seams like a really big lie.

But WHAT could be so bad? He killed innocent people? I'm sure Harry can understand, I'm sure Harry will see that Lucas has changed, that after suffering and giving up so much for this country and protecting its citizens that the mistakes of the past can be redeemed! Harry may be stubborn, but he is also fair. Lucas has shown his loyalty again and again, I am sure Harry would have understood that the past is just the past.
