Perhaps that is the reason for the lack of blood in one shot

Good thought, harrbd. I saw the lapse in continuity as well.

Series 9.8 Spoiler: show

I am not so convinced that Ruth would have to be alive for Harry to meet with Lucas. I think it entirely possible that he would be as likely to offer his life up so quickly if she were dead. In addition, Harry's inherent sense of decency and integrity would prompt him to try to save Lucas/John in honor of Ruth.

At any rate, it is very clear that this clip is the culmination of a series dedicated to the choices they make and how the job can dehumanize them. Harry is offering Lucas a very simple choice between good and evil.

And was that a bit of the Yorkie coming through in PF's speech when he turns his back to Lucas? Love. It!

I have to concentrate on these technical things otherwise I am going to throw up!
