After saw “The Train Job” again, I fell that the sense of righteous in Malcolm’s heart was really worth of admired. Intelligent and audacity is not enough to be a captain and be followed by his crewed, having a virtuous morality is also extremely important.
Malcolm had reputation of committing a crime such as stealing; it’s obvious to see that Malcolm is familiar with doing such illegal crimes. However, nobody want to do crime if they have no worried about their life, right? He had to receive and grab those tasks because he needs money. Moreover, Niska is really a powerful person; Malcolm will suffer a lot if he didn’t accomplish the mission. Under the internal and external pressure, Malcolm stole the cargos with 20 Alliance vets sat in the same train and was attacked by one of them. But when he knew that what he had stolen is the requisite medicine for people and saw the upset and despairing expression on people’s face, Malcolm decided to go against Niska and turn the goods back. It’s not easy for everyone to give up something they get by tremendous effort and will bring assets back. Compare to Jayne, one of the crew who insist to continue the transaction because of the afraid of Niska and the desire to live, disregarded that he was shot and the captain hadn’t shown up, Malcolm has more personality charm.
Although River said “Mal” means bad in Latin, I thought Malcolm is a hero because he would rather abandon his benefit to help others.
