(3) The Train Job episode

I think the main argument present in the Train Job episode revolved around the morality of stealing medical supplies from The Alliance. The characters had already gotten away with taking the loot from right under the noses of these Alliance members (although not quite so discreetly), but after finding out what the supplies were really for, it kind of changed the ethical aspect of it all. I didn’t completely understand what was going on and why they wanted to steal from the Alliance, but nevertheless, I don’t think stealing medical supplies from a town with a population suffering from a fatal illness is ever morally upright, whatever the circumstances may be.

I personally think most people would need to refer to the pilot episode to make sense of what happened in this particular episode, but based solely on what I watched, that is about all I can confidently argue with what supporting facts I got from the show. Considering that returning the goods would have totally compromised their situation with the people that hired them, it was a pretty bold thing to do. They stood up for it and found a way around the situation, which is the most “heroic” sense of the story. Although their plan involved a bit of lying and scheming, the fact that they were brave enough to stand up to their employers and go back on their deal to be able to do good for the people of a completely foreign town, demonstrates their moral character.
