[Spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce

[JHyde]

This is inevitably one of those conversations that will overlap a little with the Harry/Ruth thread. But especially in light of 8.2, it's a reasonable question to pose.

I do think that killing Kachimov, or murdering him (as he so bluntly admits to Ros in 7.3) is very revealing about him. He cares for these people in his care much more than he probably should. Think of all the times he's protested that you can't have friends in this job, and yet that's exactly how he describes Adam to Ros in 7.2. He loves Ruth, as we well know , he threatened a coup for Zoe to get away, and he's exceeded what he should do for Jo on an occasion or two. We still don't know how that death will affect him.
