[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce 2.0

[Tea Lady]

If you trust somebody then you are always opening yourself up to be hurt. You may never, ever, be hurt mind you, but there is always the risk. The alternative is never trust anyone, but that isn't much of a life.

For all Harry's pain over the years, where people have let him down, lets not forget all those officers that never did. Harry was loyal to them, and they were loyal in return. Zoe, Danny, Fiona, Colin, Malcolm, Jo, Ben.

I wouldn't necessarily say that his loyalty blinded him though, just that he wasn't ready to jump to conclusions about what they were up to. He had to move to acceptance and then action. Nothing wrong with taking your time, so not to make a mistake.

Also Harry has made plenty of "mistakes" himself throughout his career. Telling Juliet about operation Omega, his friend Bill dying, his affairs, killing Katchamov? against orders etc. All these actions may well have endangered the Country in one way or another.
