Series 9 Rumours & Speculation

[Logsie]

My latest (straw clutching) theory is that John was recruited in university by the mysterious drug dealer bloke and taken to Dakar for the express purpose of being trained and groomed as a fall guy for the embassy bombing. Drug Dealer Bloke was in league with Vaughn and his meeting John in the casino was no accident. The real Lucas was already in Dakar and threatened to expose what they had done. maybe Vaughn had tried to recruit Lucas as his future man on the inside but he was too goody-goody so he had to die. Their plan B was to get John to assume Lucas's identity and infiltrate MI5 in his place. They must have someone on the inside who doctored the blood type/ finger prints/ DNA and dental records to get their fake Lucas through vetting. Lucas's arrest in moscow scuppered their plans for 8 years as he was beyond their reach but once Vaughn learned of his return he showed up and started his little mind game.
