During Lucas North's vetting, it was discovered that he was actually a Chinese agent who was going to join MI5 as a sleeper. John Bateman was already in Dakar working for MI6 doing undercover work for Vaughn who didn't know that John worked for MI6. John was ordered to befriend Lucas. Eventually John was ordered to kill Lucas and take his identity so the Chinese would still think they had an agent at MI5. Hence Vaughn saw John killing Lucas. John had to keep up the pretence and plant the bomb.

Harry knows all of this and that the Chinese are listening in to everything. The whole charade in the warehouse was for the Chinese benefit so the Chinese still think their agent is safe and has not been discovered.

Yes, I definitely think this is the best theory so far! Sorry I just can't believe in any brain-washing or genetic experiments. This is Spooks not a sci-fi series.

This theory certainly works, but I can believe in brain-washing, not genetic experiments, but brain-washing is often a tactic used in the spy business so it's very well within the realm of Spooks universe.

Brain-washing is not sci-fi, it is real life, it happens in real life, so if it appears in Spooks, it's not a fictional sci-fi tale, it is something that is real and can be damaging.
