Series 9 Episode 7 discussion

[GuyBurgess]

Hi All.... been reading the boards for a while now and opted to "come out of the closet", so to speak!!!
This has been one of the best series so far for me, so many twists and turns and this weeks episode really was quite gripping.
My own theories on the Lucas/John, Vaughan, Albany, Dakar story???

Well, Harry obviously has a bee in his bonnet about Dakar happening "on his watch", and I reckon both he and Malcolm had been working on the same project and was trusted by Harry on it.
Did "John" already work for MI5, and was Harry using him to get to Vaughan? Did Harry know Vaughan was just a pawn in a much murkier pond?
The real Lucas North confessed that he was being employed by MI5, which is something they would avoid telling anyone (and did you see how much booze he was quaffing!!!). Anyone with a problem of talking when drunk would not be invited into the Service surely? Had Harry set up the real Lucas so that John could do away with him and take his place in order to get close to Vaughan and whoever was setting up the bombing? Is this animosity which is building up between Harry and Lucas/John just a smoke screen to flush out the real brain behind the bombing? Did Harry set up Lucas/John to get sent to a Russian prison for 8 years as part of a deep cover?
Seems to me that Albany is the file Harry has been building up to track down the Mastermind behind the bombing and that Lucas/John, Vaughan and the Dakar bombing are what Albany is really all about.

Please feel free to shoot me down in the biggest pile of poo you can get your hands on if you feel then need!!!!!
