Malcolm's mother walked in on them both in the living room. Malcolm just thought on his feet quickly and made a name up for Lucas to introduce him. I know people are reading all sorts into this, but I really think it was Malcolm just coming up with a legend quickly. A bit of clever writing.

Ruth is embroiled in all this up to her neck but just how I don't know. Perhaps she and Malcolm are working together? Ruth may be setting Lucas up but in typical Spooks way perhaps she herself is being set-up!

I don't think Malcolm was forewarned looking at his expression. I really think he twigged from the start that something was up. Being as experienced as he is, Malcolm probably had a cover story in place, in case the wrong person came knocking for Albany. I don't think Lucas' name was on the list Malcolm was talking about.

The question does remain, how Vaughn came to know that Malcolm had Albany. That information would only be known by Harry surely? Unless I missed it and that information was hidden in the painting which Vaughn did see.
