Series 10 - Episode 5 Discussion

[A Cousin]

I didn't see him not react to it. I saw a horrified look cross over his face when Ruth told him. I just saw him not address it in that moment for the reasons Silktie mentions. The work comes first. Always. When Harry does react emotionally to something, bad things happen, e.g. Ruth's exile, assassination of Kachimov, assassination of Blake, Sasha, to name the biggies. And if memory serves, Harry doesn't know precisely what is on Coaver's laptop that he thought Harry should have, does he?

As for why Coaver had the false birth certificate, those pieces weren't too hard to put together in my mind. I thought it was because Elena and the KGB had fed it to him or because he had "acquired" them through the means that many security services' "acquire" documents they shouldn't have.
