Series 9 Episode 8 discussion

[harrbd]

“After we hear the scream and the car alarm there are clearly audible hurried footsteps and they don't sound distant like the other sounds drifting up from 26 storeys below. They sound close very close.”

Agree with this (although I didn't hear the steps on first viewing.) However, I don't think that Lucas can have had a body on the roof ready to throw off. Harry did look around when he got to the roof and Lucas would have made some noise pushing a body over. But, he could have paid a woman on the ground to scream and break a car window on his signal. We don’t know if there is a body or not. I believe that someone said that they filmed a body falling off the roof but this wasn’t shown just to leave some doubt.

Also, the HS, when talking to Harry said, “this business with your section chief” – didn’t mention a death. The music when focusing on Ruth and Tariq and then Alex, Beth and Dimitri was very sombre but it could also be used for the fact that Lucas had got away as well as for his death.(I may have expected a bit more action on their part if Lucas was still alive though !)

Re the other ending which I'd love to know about. Peter Firth saying that he had blood on his shirt leads to so many possibilities. The fact that Harry had to re film the end does unfortunately make me think that he was going to be killed which doesn’t bode well for the next series.
