and this is the saddest moment of all.... because Flight is the hero here, he not only defends Mr Merrick with an amazing speech that goes straight to the heart of the theme of this episode, but, he saves Merrick's life...by helping him sit upright after he falls flat on his back ( which we know would cause Merrick to stop breathing ) and then Merrick goes on to save 2 lives himself, only because Flight brought him to the right place at the right time.
Flights moral compass points towards goodness. His falling asleep in the later scene resulting in Shine having access to Joseph is doubly tragic because of this - its a mirror scene to this one, but Flight is not the perpetrator, and he fell asleep because he was up all night working.
Oooh yes, forgot about the confession. Think you might be right, he would feel that he should atone for the 'sin' of falling asleep, even though he couldn't have stopped Merrick's death.
These are official pics so we cannot post them here without permission, but click below for a glimpse of the official episode 7 pics, including one of Damien !
Ooooh, I like that full one of him lounging on the bench! Thanks for finding these domino!

Kim, it is so sweet! They show him taking her hand as he's talking. Love it. Love that whole episode. I sense a rewatch coming on.

Very excited for our American friends to see Ripper Street 2 and meet Albert Flight!
Very welcome whimsy
Kimberfly that really was a special moment - more so because of the context, I'll say no more!
Knightley, not long now, and worth the wait!
We should mention both of these photos are from episode 4, which is Damien's 'big' episode in the series, although he does appear in all episodes from his introduction in episode 2
Very much coolness! I don't remember where in the episode that first one takes place.

Nor do I whimsy, I do not recall Flight being undercover and on the street with any of the other characters except Evelyn Foley and Michael Donovan. either we are very bad fans and it's time for a rewatch. or this is a new bit only in the BBCA episode?!
I can confirm that the scene this pic is from is not in episode 4 (the uk BBC version anyway!) so, it is either from a scene that will forever remain on the cutting room floor, or a scene that will be in the US version on BBC America!
