On a small hill in the middle of the river, when the sun rises, Thorne tried his best to get revenge from James Delaney...
Unluckiness or failure doesn't fit the scene with Tom Hardy and Jefferson Hall. As a dark thriller, built on conspiracies, Thorne had made his shot in cold blood. And the other side (James' side) was not in so rush about it... I hear your voices, let the silence turn into concrete words; he already knew that the Company or Crown would take precautions to keep him from dying. While Lorna was very much concerned for the sake of James there, all happened in the blink of an eye. Thorne chose to fire his gun at James and James chose to kill Thorne's second with an excellent shot. (It's been learned that Thorne's supporter was Company's man on a mission to prevent James' death).
Waiting for the death news of her husband, as being sure of James winning the duel, Zilpha seemed unhappy when Thorne returned to home without even taking a scratch... Potatoes or champagne? Such a misery dilemma in their situation. Thorne revealed his endless aggression and anger towards Zilpha and James. He did not just sense it, he also heard the gossips about his wife's forbidden background with African Devil...
Until that moment in the show, I fed antipathy against Thorne, hands down... But with this particular moment, I felt pity for him. The exorcism which occurred at the end of the episode made me very frustrated about the narrow minded mankind... and just that. I was not yelling at Thorne for doing this to his wife. As he learned from his ancestors, the only way to see light again (according to him) goes through firstly beating his wife, then hiring an exorcist and as last letting that exorcist disturb his wife sexually. So, the suffering of Thorne caused his wife to plant the seeds of revenge in her secret garden (unforgiving memory of a sorrowful woman).
In this world where the ugliness and the beauty blended violently by the hands of evil men, we can't pretend not to see Regency England, right? While Mark Gatiss is highly unrecognizable under the heavy make up, the skin discolouration of Prince Regent we have witnessed on the show, evokes as if the selfishness of that character turned into ugly bubbles on face.
There were abandoned letters in small boxes for nine years...until now. The Crown (Prince Regent and Solomon Coop) decided to hear the voices of 280 souls after so many years with the purpose of blaming Sir Stuart Strange. Because as you recall from the previous episode, the saltpetre had been stolen by the league of the damned. To make someone responsible for this treachery, because, searching the whole city from head to toe wasn't enough, the Crown has found the solution with delving into past.
Lucian Msamati has joined to the cast as George Chichester, a black man who works for the Sons of Africa, and also he was the person that sent letters every year to Solomon Coop. Almost 300 slaves died years ago within a sunken ship.. wait for it...which was called "Influence". The ship that James was on and known to be dead after it sank... The justice and revenge that James was seeking from the beginning rests in the ruins of the Influence, without a doubt...
Meanwhile, having the knowledge of James Delaney's gunpowder business, Doctor Dumbarton wants to buy some... James sees this as an opportunity to get a safe passage in return. He also knocks the door of Countess for another safe passage promise... James seems like he doesn't trust to Doctor, does he?
I am sure James will find a workaround for all these easy problems. After all, he can speak to dead. He will take his revenge as he tore off the betrayer's finger...
