Lucien's desire to be outside the cage and with Eli made him careless.
The Vespers inner circle are showing real fear at Lucien being out. So there was some security. They simply got complacent and never checked the camera feeds.
I guess Eli is doing the only thing he can to carry on with the plan, staying close to the Vespers.
What would they have done if he hadn't agreed to stay at the Vesper House. He knows roo much.
Miller is magnificent and made of harder stuff than he shows.
For a country not far removed from a war of survival, exposing someone directly using Nazi experiments from the death camps would be a bombshell. I'd say you can stick a fork in Cameron, he's done.
Dufresne must be laughing his ass off at sending out Will to shill this crap like a patent medicine barker.
Will sees the wreckage ahead and resolves to drive into it and strive to survive in order to rebuild later. It's sacrificing today for tomorrow. Most politicians would jump on the Dufresne train, but Will is deeply ethical.
As an aside, I met Fletcher's parents. They were both deaf. Her father was an Episcopal minister. They were lovely people. When Louise won the Academy Award she also gave her acceptance speech in sign language.
Knowing the true name of someone or a deity is traditionally a way to have power over them. It's in the Bible. One cannot know the true name of God.
Lucien has shown Eli his full trust by telling him his true name.
The question even Lucien doesn't know is how the founding Vespers learned it.
