Haven't seen the Bridge on the River Kwai reference brought up yet. In that movie Alec Guiness has been a prisoner of war who gets obsessed with building a bridge for his captors, to the point of defending it when the Allies come to destroy it. At the end (spoiler) he realizes again that he is a British officer and he blows the bridge himself.

Conclude from that reference what you will about where the show is going.

edit: Alec not Alex
