You, soldier,




1
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:38,299
You, soldier,

2
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:40,379
dance with me.

3
00:01:40,380 --> 00:01:42,378
I do not dance.

4
00:01:42,379 --> 00:01:45,698
Do not, sir? Or cannot?

5
00:01:45,699 --> 00:01:47,778
Will not, then. If it please you.

6
00:01:47,779 --> 00:01:49,779
It does not please me.

7
00:01:53,578 --> 00:01:57,137
I am resolved to step a measure
with every man here present.

8
00:01:57,138 --> 00:01:59,378
And have a wager of my
friends to do the same.

9
00:02:00,498 --> 00:02:02,537
What do you say to that?

10
00:02:02,538 --> 00:02:04,417
You lose.

11
00:02:10,977 --> 00:02:13,137
Not lost your touch
with the ladies, then?

12
00:02:14,336 --> 00:02:16,495
What the hell are we
doing here anyway?

13
00:02:16,496 --> 00:02:17,521
You saw the dispatch.

14
00:02:17,523 --> 00:02:19,815
Aye, the Governor
requests your presence.

15
00:02:19,816 --> 00:02:21,780
But why? I thought
we were headed home.

16
00:02:21,782 --> 00:02:24,615
We are, Pat. We are, I promise.

17
00:02:24,616 --> 00:02:26,495
Colonel Sharpe?

18
00:02:35,055 --> 00:02:37,014
One moment, sir.

19
00:02:39,894 --> 00:02:42,614
Damn the man, damn him to hell.

20
00:02:45,654 --> 00:02:49,452
God rot all quill suckers, heh?

21
00:02:49,453 --> 00:02:52,452
We sweat and bleed and
die upon their whim.

22
00:02:52,453 --> 00:02:54,612
And for what thanks?

23
00:02:54,613 --> 00:02:57,891
If it's gratitude you're after,
then you've joined the wrong army.

24
00:02:57,892 --> 00:02:59,971
You may well be right at that.

25
00:02:59,972 --> 00:03:02,011
Colonel?

26
00:03:02,012 --> 00:03:05,091
Sharp. Richard Sharpe.

27
00:03:05,092 --> 00:03:09,650
Count Vladimir Alexei
Dragomirov, 3rd Native Horse.

28
00:03:09,651 --> 00:03:11,890
You have business
with the Governor?

29
00:03:11,891 --> 00:03:15,771
Tread lightly. Sedgefield
is a wily, old devil.

30
00:03:18,491 --> 00:03:20,609
Your Excellency, Colonel Sharpe.

31
00:03:20,610 --> 00:03:24,010
Colonel, His Excellency
Viscount Sedgefield.

32
00:03:25,530 --> 00:03:28,609
I'm told you have a nose for
mischief, Colonel Sharpe.

33
00:03:28,610 --> 00:03:30,648
Told, sir?

34
00:03:30,649 --> 00:03:32,529
His Grace, Lord Wellington.

35
00:03:33,729 --> 00:03:37,088
After this late rebellion,
only recently put down,

36
00:03:37,089 --> 00:03:40,487
we find ourselves, alas,
already facing fresh dangers.

37
00:03:40,488 --> 00:03:43,447
Bandits, Sharpe,
in the high hills.

38
00:03:43,448 --> 00:03:45,927
Under the thrall of a
cutthroat named Chitu.

39
00:03:45,928 --> 00:03:48,647
Causing no end of havoc
with Company operations.

40
00:03:48,648 --> 00:03:50,727
Villages put to fire and sword.

41
00:03:50,728 --> 00:03:52,886
The harvest disrupted.

42
00:03:52,887 --> 00:03:55,447
- Sorry to hear that.
- Indeed.

43
00:03:56,687 --> 00:03:59,366
A Company squadron
under Count Dragomirov

44
00:03:59,367 --> 00:04:01,447
has been dispatched
to find this Chitu.

45
00:04:01,726 --> 00:04:03,606
And, so far, without success.

46
00:04:05,006 --> 00:04:07,205
You are requested

47
00:04:07,206 --> 00:04:10,525
upon the highest
authority, to do better.

48
00:04:10,526 --> 00:04:12,845
I am no longer in the
service of His Majesty.

49
00:04:14,005 --> 00:04:17,124
My business in India concluded.
I am for Calcutta and England.

50
00:04:17,125 --> 00:04:19,085
I cannot persuade you?

51
00:04:21,645 --> 00:04:23,843
Perhaps then,

52
00:04:23,844 --> 00:04:27,643
might at least you be prevailed
upon to perform one last duty?

53
00:04:27,644 --> 00:04:29,723
In which, I assure you,

54
00:04:29,724 --> 00:04:31,723
there is no peril to yourself.

55
00:04:31,724 --> 00:04:33,803
Aye.

56
00:04:33,804 --> 00:04:35,802
If I can.

57
00:04:35,803 --> 00:04:38,163
I have in my care a property.

58
00:04:39,283 --> 00:04:41,963
Like yourself, bound
for the north.

59
00:04:43,163 --> 00:04:46,322
May I look to you for
its safe conveyance?

60
00:04:47,682 --> 00:04:49,721
Aye. Very well.

61
00:04:49,722 --> 00:04:51,602
Your word?

62
00:04:53,242 --> 00:04:55,162
What is it, this property?

63
00:04:56,241 --> 00:04:58,440
Ah, Colonel Sharpe,

64
00:04:58,441 --> 00:05:00,104
I have the honour to present

65
00:05:00,105 --> 00:05:02,361
Mademoiselle
Marie-Angelique Bonnet.

66
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,599
- Who is she?
- Damned if I know.

67
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,799
Her fiance is a Company
Major, name of Joubert.

68
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,879
Stationed at Kalimgong.

69
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,358
Where, in God's
arse, is Kalimgong?

70
00:05:20,359 --> 00:05:22,398
Company hill station,

71
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:24,279
on the way, Sedgefield says.

72
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:29,020
[SOLDIERS SINGING]

73
00:06:33,632 --> 00:06:35,592
Major Tredinnick, sahib.

74
00:06:53,111 --> 00:06:55,030
Marvellous, marvellous.

75
00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:01,669
Who commands this column?

76
00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:03,749
Why, sir, no man.

77
00:07:03,750 --> 00:07:05,669
All men.

78
00:07:06,869 --> 00:07:10,589
We are, you might say, a regular
Captain Copperthorne's crew.

79
00:07:12,749 --> 00:07:16,187
A gentleman asks a civil question,
he expects an answer in kind

80
00:07:16,188 --> 00:07:18,148
and none of your riddles.

81
00:07:19,348 --> 00:07:22,667
What he means to say, sir, after
his fashion, is the matter

82
00:07:22,668 --> 00:07:25,627
would depend on whether you
meant Company troops or king's.

83
00:07:25,628 --> 00:07:27,626
For we number both
amongst the column.

84
00:07:27,627 --> 00:07:29,986
- Your officer will do for now.
- Very good.

85
00:07:29,987 --> 00:07:32,746
I'd be glad if our mounts
could be fed and watered.

86
00:07:32,747 --> 00:07:35,786
And someone to see to the
lady's comforts also.

87
00:07:35,787 --> 00:07:38,705
Quilter, Deever.
This way, gentlemen.

88
00:07:38,706 --> 00:07:41,665
How is it you come to be
travelling along Company's routes.

89
00:07:41,666 --> 00:07:44,385
- I was ordered, sir.
- There's bandits hereabouts,

90
00:07:44,386 --> 00:07:46,545
all manner of heathen devilry.

91
00:07:46,546 --> 00:07:49,584
Sooner than have troops
venture forth in small bands,

92
00:07:49,585 --> 00:07:51,784
we thought it best to
combine all soldiery

93
00:07:51,785 --> 00:07:53,944
same-wise bound into one column.

94
00:07:53,945 --> 00:07:56,145
Mind how you tread,
that is elephant shit.

95
00:08:01,024 --> 00:08:03,663
These gentlemen were hoping
to speak with you, sir.

96
00:08:03,664 --> 00:08:05,210
Very good, Colour Wormwood.

97
00:08:05,211 --> 00:08:07,183
Would you want me to remain, sir?

98
00:08:07,184 --> 00:08:10,422
- In case there's any questions?
- I'm sufficient to the task.

99
00:08:10,423 --> 00:08:12,383
Very good, sir.

100
00:08:15,103 --> 00:08:18,622
You'll forgive Colour Wormwood's
familiarity, gentlemen.

101
00:08:18,623 --> 00:08:21,901
Being not long in India, I
find myself beneath his wing.

102
00:08:21,902 --> 00:08:24,621
Ensign Beauclere, 69th Foot.

103
00:08:24,622 --> 00:08:27,341
Colonel Richard Sharpe,
late of the South Essex.

104
00:08:27,342 --> 00:08:29,501
Sergeant Major Harper.

105
00:08:29,502 --> 00:08:30,835
Your pardon, Colonel...

106
00:08:30,836 --> 00:08:32,860
You may dispense with formalities.

107
00:08:32,861 --> 00:08:34,900
I hold no present commission.

108
00:08:34,901 --> 00:08:36,860
Mr Harper and myself are about

109
00:08:36,861 --> 00:08:39,580
some private business on
the Governor's request.

110
00:08:39,581 --> 00:08:41,779
And yourself?

111
00:08:41,780 --> 00:08:43,899
I command a small
prisoner escort, sir.

112
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:46,059
Bound for Calcutta.

113
00:08:46,060 --> 00:08:49,260
I'd hardly call such numbers
small, Mr Beauclere.

114
00:08:51,020 --> 00:08:53,458
What have you in your
charge? Some regicide?

115
00:08:53,459 --> 00:08:56,418
No, sir. You misapprehend me.

116
00:08:56,419 --> 00:08:58,898
For the most part,
what you see here

117
00:08:58,899 --> 00:09:02,059
is the royal train of the Maharani
Padmini Devi of Jhalawar.

118
00:09:03,139 --> 00:09:05,177
A Princess?

119
00:09:05,178 --> 00:09:07,337
Her Highness travels to Pankot

120
00:09:07,338 --> 00:09:09,537
under protection of
Company detachment.

121
00:09:09,538 --> 00:09:11,737
With Subedar Pillai commanding.

122
00:09:11,738 --> 00:09:13,970
As for regicide, I
fear my prisoner

123
00:09:13,971 --> 00:09:16,016
is in no mean so worthy of note.

124
00:09:16,017 --> 00:09:18,056
So what was the offence?

125
00:09:18,057 --> 00:09:20,016
The murder of an officer, sir,

126
00:09:20,017 --> 00:09:22,896
in furtherance to robbery
of the regimental stores.

127
00:09:22,897 --> 00:09:24,616
Oh.

128
00:09:24,617 --> 00:09:28,375
The commissariat sets great store
by its spoons, so it does.

129
00:09:28,376 --> 00:09:30,296
Subedar Pillai, then...

130
00:09:31,536 --> 00:09:33,896
is in charge of the
safety of this column.

131
00:09:34,936 --> 00:09:37,014
Do it.

132
00:09:37,015 --> 00:09:39,014
Do it, man.

133
00:09:39,015 --> 00:09:40,935
Not like that, you'll kill him.

134
00:09:42,175 --> 00:09:44,334
You've got the blade
the wrong way round.

135
00:09:44,335 --> 00:09:47,053
You need to line it up along
the vein, not across it.

136
00:09:47,054 --> 00:09:50,693
Are you a farrier? I know how to
bleed a horse without killing it.

137
00:09:50,694 --> 00:09:52,574
What are you waiting
for, then? Do it.

138
00:09:54,614 --> 00:09:56,574
Hold onto that.

139
00:10:10,052 --> 00:10:12,131
Right.

140
00:10:12,132 --> 00:10:14,131
Keep the bugger steady, Pat.

141
00:10:14,132 --> 00:10:16,131
He's fine.

142
00:10:16,132 --> 00:10:18,211
Easy, boy. Take it nice and easy.

143
00:10:18,212 --> 00:10:20,131
Easy now.

144
00:10:29,970 --> 00:10:32,169
Easy, boy.

145
00:10:32,170 --> 00:10:34,290
Just keep him there,
Pat, keep him there.

146
00:10:55,848 --> 00:10:57,768
I reckon you'll live.

147
00:11:00,488 --> 00:11:03,926
We are most grateful, Mr?

148
00:11:03,927 --> 00:11:05,966
Sharpe. Colonel Sharpe.

149
00:11:05,967 --> 00:11:07,887
Sergeant Major Harper.

150
00:11:10,127 --> 00:11:12,351
For future, a wee
bit of ginger added

151
00:11:12,352 --> 00:11:14,166
to his feed might help, madam.

152
00:11:15,326 --> 00:11:18,805
Ask what reward you will of
Subedar Pillai for your service.

153
00:11:18,806 --> 00:11:20,578
It shall be met. The beast out of

154
00:11:20,579 --> 00:11:22,565
his misery is reward
enough, madam.

155
00:11:22,566 --> 00:11:24,805
I'll be glad of some
words with the Subedar.

156
00:11:31,405 --> 00:11:33,484
Yes, Colonel?

157
00:11:33,485 --> 00:11:35,643
I...

158
00:11:35,644 --> 00:11:38,963
was wondering, Subedar, if you
have any sound intelligence

159
00:11:38,964 --> 00:11:41,083
as to the bandits
ranging hereabout.

160
00:11:41,084 --> 00:11:44,283
I have a certain
cargo in my charge.

161
00:11:44,284 --> 00:11:47,482
And I'm anxious for its safety.

162
00:11:47,483 --> 00:11:50,722
You mean to leave me here in the
company of common soldiers?

163
00:11:50,723 --> 00:11:52,802
Good practise I'd have thought.

164
00:11:52,803 --> 00:11:54,922
You're set to marry
one, aren't you?

165
00:11:54,923 --> 00:11:56,961
Major Joubert is a gentleman.

166
00:11:56,962 --> 00:11:58,842
Yeah? Then, God help him.

167
00:12:02,322 --> 00:12:04,681
The Company officer
has given me his word

168
00:12:04,682 --> 00:12:08,040
provision will be made till
you're safely to Kalimgong.

169
00:12:08,041 --> 00:12:10,320
You gave your word to
Viscount Sedgefield.

170
00:12:10,321 --> 00:12:12,520
If there are bandits
in these hills,

171
00:12:12,521 --> 00:12:15,520
then this column affords you
far better safety than us.

172
00:12:15,521 --> 00:12:17,400
The Colonel is right, madam.

173
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,439
I'm glad of it.

174
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,199
At least I shall no longer be
kept awake by your snoring.

175
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,599
- I don't snore.
- Like a carthorse.

176
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,038
And since you are set
upon your fait accompli,

177
00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:30,078
there is nothing further to say.

178
00:12:30,079 --> 00:12:31,999
Monsieur.

179
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:38,718
She took it rather
well, I thought.

180
00:12:40,398 --> 00:12:42,477
Colonel Sharpe?

181
00:12:42,478 --> 00:12:44,637
Mrs Tredinnick.

182
00:12:44,638 --> 00:12:46,917
My husband is the Major
of the engineers.

183
00:12:46,918 --> 00:12:49,876
I'm certain he'd wish me
to present his compliments

184
00:12:49,877 --> 00:12:52,516
and an invitation to dine
with us this evening.

185
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:54,556
That's really kind of
you, madam, but...

186
00:12:54,557 --> 00:12:56,636
We'd be delighted.

187
00:12:56,637 --> 00:12:58,636
Mr Harper, madam.

188
00:12:58,637 --> 00:13:00,596
Well, until this evening, then.

189
00:13:02,636 --> 00:13:04,795
I was gonna say no.

190
00:13:04,796 --> 00:13:07,595
Are you all right? Listen,
you need to see a surgeon.

191
00:13:07,596 --> 00:13:09,675
I'll do no such thing.

192
00:13:09,676 --> 00:13:11,674
I'll speak to Pillai.

193
00:13:11,675 --> 00:13:13,874
Oh, a Company surgeon?

194
00:13:13,875 --> 00:13:16,355
I'd rather let you loose
with a hammer and fleam.

195
00:13:17,595 --> 00:13:19,874
I'll be all right,
Richard. Truly I will.

196
00:13:19,875 --> 00:13:21,913
Ok.

197
00:13:21,914 --> 00:13:24,033
I'll fetch us kit.

198
00:13:24,034 --> 00:13:25,834
We're bedding down here. Yeah.

199
00:13:31,314 --> 00:13:34,352
Who's them strangers walking
Bo Peep, then, Colour?

200
00:13:34,353 --> 00:13:37,752
No business of yours, Quilter. See
the prisoner is fed and watered.

201
00:13:37,753 --> 00:13:40,792
- He won't have none.
- Nevertheless it must be offered.

202
00:13:40,793 --> 00:13:44,072
King's Regulations are very clear
on this point. So look alive.

203
00:13:52,032 --> 00:13:54,070
Run your vittles.

204
00:13:54,071 --> 00:13:56,110
Do you want them or don't you?

205
00:13:56,111 --> 00:13:58,511
Tis a matter of
indifference to me.

206
00:13:59,631 --> 00:14:01,630
But I must fetch them here

207
00:14:01,631 --> 00:14:03,591
and here as I am bid, no matter.

208
00:14:07,030 --> 00:14:09,069
Corp,

209
00:14:09,070 --> 00:14:11,549
it isn't worth taking on.

210
00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:14,869
When we get back to the lines,
Colour will speak on your part.

211
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:17,028
That being done,

212
00:14:17,029 --> 00:14:18,805
seems to me you'll
either hang or you

213
00:14:18,806 --> 00:14:20,348
won't. And there's an end on it.

214
00:14:20,349 --> 00:14:22,269
What a comfort you are.

215
00:14:26,988 --> 00:14:29,067
What's your name, then, Corporal?

216
00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:31,067
Barabbas.

217
00:14:31,068 --> 00:14:33,187
Bloody hell. I thought
Dick were bad.

218
00:14:33,188 --> 00:14:35,267
Barabbas?

219
00:14:35,268 --> 00:14:37,386
A Bible name, isn't it?

220
00:14:37,387 --> 00:14:39,786
I had it off a priest at
the Scottish Mission.

221
00:14:39,787 --> 00:14:41,747
Oh, aye, foundling.

222
00:14:45,627 --> 00:14:47,746
No shame in that.

223
00:14:47,747 --> 00:14:50,346
Half the world were
got without ceremony.

224
00:14:51,466 --> 00:14:53,346
Not always the worst half either.

225
00:14:55,306 --> 00:14:57,626
Deserve it, did he, the
officer you killed?

226
00:14:59,385 --> 00:15:01,305
I've known many that have.

227
00:15:02,425 --> 00:15:04,504
But robbery, mind...

228
00:15:04,505 --> 00:15:06,425
regimental stores.

229
00:15:08,105 --> 00:15:11,624
I'd sooner an honest murderer than
a man as thieves off his mates.

230
00:15:12,904 --> 00:15:15,144
But I expect you'll
tell me you're neither.

231
00:15:16,264 --> 00:15:18,144
I've never met a guilty man.

232
00:15:23,503 --> 00:15:25,542
Colonel Sharpe.

233
00:15:25,543 --> 00:15:27,702
Mr Harper.

234
00:15:27,703 --> 00:15:29,902
- You honour our table.
- Thank you, Major.

235
00:15:29,903 --> 00:15:32,781
Now, if I may, Reverend Watkin.

236
00:15:32,782 --> 00:15:34,821
Ensign Beauclere you know.

237
00:15:34,822 --> 00:15:38,101
My wife, of course. Miss Bonnet...

238
00:15:38,102 --> 00:15:40,141
And I are already acquainted.

239
00:15:40,142 --> 00:15:42,180
Oh, of course.

240
00:15:42,181 --> 00:15:44,340
Well, we wait only upon...

241
00:15:44,341 --> 00:15:46,620
Ah, there he is. Good
evening, Subedar.

242
00:15:46,621 --> 00:15:48,861
My apologies, I was
detained... Argh.

243
00:15:50,901 --> 00:15:52,780
Take cover.

244
00:16:01,020 --> 00:16:03,059
King's men to me. 69th to me.

245
00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:04,979
Colour Wormwood, defend the camp.

246
00:16:53,415 --> 00:16:55,295
Chitu's men?

247
00:16:57,454 --> 00:16:59,334
Like as not.

248
00:17:25,212 --> 00:17:27,132
What's the bill, Mr Beauclere?

249
00:17:28,292 --> 00:17:31,850
Her Highness and the commonality
are all accounted for, sir.

250
00:17:31,851 --> 00:17:34,497
Of Company troops,
four are numbered

251
00:17:34,498 --> 00:17:36,570
dead, including the surgeon.

252
00:17:36,571 --> 00:17:38,730
Six are wounded,

253
00:17:38,731 --> 00:17:41,929
of which two, including Subedar
Pillai, are like to die.

254
00:17:41,930 --> 00:17:44,649
- And your own section?
- Not a man come to harm, sir.

255
00:17:44,650 --> 00:17:48,169
Colour Wormwood confides they
gave good account of themselves.

256
00:17:48,170 --> 00:17:50,249
Though I confess,

257
00:17:50,250 --> 00:17:52,169
with all that befell...

258
00:17:53,889 --> 00:17:56,489
I'm hard pressed to order events.

259
00:17:57,609 --> 00:17:59,608
The fire and the fighting.

260
00:17:59,609 --> 00:18:01,688
The horses an' all.

261
00:18:01,689 --> 00:18:03,687
Your first action?

262
00:18:03,688 --> 00:18:05,807
Yes, sir.

263
00:18:05,808 --> 00:18:07,807
You did well.

264
00:18:07,808 --> 00:18:09,688
I would hope so, sir.

265
00:18:10,808 --> 00:18:14,046
I was, you see, born to a soldier.

266
00:18:14,047 --> 00:18:16,206
Indeed?

267
00:18:16,207 --> 00:18:19,607
Perhaps you met him. You will have
heard of him almost certainly.

268
00:18:20,807 --> 00:18:23,285
He was the man brevetted
Major at Vittoria

269
00:18:23,286 --> 00:18:25,366
for capturing Marshal
Jourdan's baton.

270
00:18:26,846 --> 00:18:28,766
I don't believe I know him.

271
00:18:29,886 --> 00:18:31,766
You would have taken to him, sir.

272
00:18:32,886 --> 00:18:34,964
For he was very brave.

273
00:18:34,965 --> 00:18:36,964
Much admired by his men.

274
00:18:36,965 --> 00:18:38,885
"Was", Mr Beauclere?

275
00:18:41,565 --> 00:18:43,445
He fell, sir,

276
00:18:44,605 --> 00:18:46,484
at Roncesvalles.

277
00:18:47,604 --> 00:18:49,484
When I was a boy.

278
00:18:57,083 --> 00:18:59,682
And there was I thinking
it was you and me

279
00:18:59,683 --> 00:19:02,882
that came across the
Marshal's baton at Vittoria,

280
00:19:02,883 --> 00:19:05,039
abandoned in the
baggage train along

281
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,962
with King Joe's royal Jakes pot.

282
00:19:08,362 --> 00:19:10,322
Happen your memory is off, Pat?

283
00:19:12,442 --> 00:19:15,682
A common effect of advancing
years, I understand.

284
00:19:20,001 --> 00:19:21,921
I posted pickets but...

285
00:19:23,601 --> 00:19:25,481
their throats were cut.

286
00:19:26,601 --> 00:19:28,719
I should have done more.

287
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,600
You did all that
could be expected.

288
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,079
I must beg of you a
service, Colonel.

289
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,040
Will you stay with the column?

290
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,399
At least as far as Kalimgong.

291
00:19:41,479 --> 00:19:43,478
It's a lot to ask, I know, but...

292
00:19:43,479 --> 00:19:45,399
it's only two days march.

293
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:48,919
Besides,

294
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:53,398
I should rest a lot
easier, knowing...

295
00:19:54,558 --> 00:19:56,878
a senior officer were among us.

296
00:19:57,998 --> 00:20:00,077
You have Major Tredinnick.

297
00:20:00,078 --> 00:20:02,076
An engineer, Colonel,

298
00:20:02,077 --> 00:20:04,037
he is not a soldier.

299
00:20:07,197 --> 00:20:09,157
Subedar Pillai is
correct, Colonel.

300
00:20:10,397 --> 00:20:12,336
Better by far, the
men have someone

301
00:20:12,337 --> 00:20:14,275
of both rank and
martial reputation

302
00:20:14,276 --> 00:20:16,275
to look to at such a time.

303
00:20:16,276 --> 00:20:18,355
You may depend on my support.

304
00:20:18,356 --> 00:20:20,355
In every particular.

305
00:20:20,356 --> 00:20:22,434
I'm grateful. Gentlemen.

306
00:20:22,435 --> 00:20:24,355
Colour Wormwood.

307
00:20:25,675 --> 00:20:27,674
Make ready the column to move out.

308
00:20:27,675 --> 00:20:29,874
Mr Beauclere?

309
00:20:29,875 --> 00:20:32,513
Whatever instruction you
receive off Colonel Sharpe,

310
00:20:32,514 --> 00:20:34,633
you may take as if the
order were my own.

311
00:20:34,634 --> 00:20:36,554
If you say so, sir.

312
00:20:38,994 --> 00:20:41,594
Within the hour. Colour Wormwood.

313
00:20:49,713 --> 00:20:51,633
What could I say?

314
00:20:52,553 --> 00:20:54,671
Huh?

315
00:20:54,672 --> 00:20:56,512
Do you hear me complaining?

316
00:20:57,952 --> 00:20:59,832
Just so far as this hill station.

317
00:21:01,352 --> 00:21:03,391
Two days,

318
00:21:03,392 --> 00:21:05,271
then we're away.

319
00:21:38,348 --> 00:21:40,427
So, who is he, then, Paddy?

320
00:21:40,428 --> 00:21:42,587
Your Colonel Sharpe?

321
00:21:42,588 --> 00:21:46,347
That would be "Mr Harper"
or "Sergeant Major Harper",

322
00:21:46,348 --> 00:21:48,466
when addressing me, Private Croop.

323
00:21:48,467 --> 00:21:51,626
Who is he, though? He put Colour
Wormwood in a brown study.

324
00:21:51,627 --> 00:21:54,306
You'd know, Dan, you'd know.

325
00:21:54,307 --> 00:21:57,867
For of all studies, I swear,
there's none as brown as yours.

326
00:21:59,066 --> 00:22:01,785
He's no proper officer,
that much is plain.

327
00:22:01,786 --> 00:22:04,425
He's more of an officer than
you'll ever meet, Croop.

328
00:22:04,426 --> 00:22:06,585
He don't talk like no officer.

329
00:22:06,586 --> 00:22:09,425
He may not have the
holiday and lady terms

330
00:22:09,426 --> 00:22:12,464
that some of your peacocks
so easily command,

331
00:22:12,465 --> 00:22:14,744
but when your back
is against the wall,

332
00:22:14,745 --> 00:22:16,545
he's the one man you
want beside you.

333
00:22:23,544 --> 00:22:25,464
How is the Subedar?

334
00:22:27,344 --> 00:22:29,423
Very weak, madam.

335
00:22:29,424 --> 00:22:31,343
He has lost much blood.

336
00:22:32,463 --> 00:22:35,902
Though he suffers me to touch
him, he will take of me no water.

337
00:22:35,903 --> 00:22:38,223
Even this I am only able
to do when he sleeps.

338
00:22:39,823 --> 00:22:44,861
Dustoor hai. It's the custom,
a stricture of his birth.

339
00:22:44,862 --> 00:22:48,062
But if he does not let me
help him, he will die.

340
00:22:49,742 --> 00:22:51,821
Perhaps, but...

341
00:22:51,822 --> 00:22:54,300
Subedar Pillai would sooner death

342
00:22:54,301 --> 00:22:56,221
than to break his caste.

343
00:22:58,741 --> 00:23:00,661
Colour Wormwood.

344
00:23:04,220 --> 00:23:07,499
Volunteers for a forage party.
Your section will serve.

345
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:10,339
Begging your pardon, sir,
but that's coolie work.

346
00:23:10,340 --> 00:23:12,459
Can't have King's
men cutting corn,

347
00:23:12,460 --> 00:23:15,178
not while Company troops
are sat on their arses.

348
00:23:15,179 --> 00:23:17,738
Company troops are
needed here, Colour.

349
00:23:17,739 --> 00:23:19,898
To protect the column.

350
00:23:19,899 --> 00:23:22,058
And if the bandits
should return, sir?

351
00:23:22,059 --> 00:23:25,017
Company troops made a pretty
poor show of it last evening.

352
00:23:25,018 --> 00:23:27,377
And Mr Beauclere is only a lad.

353
00:23:27,378 --> 00:23:29,187
A mount of pluck is worth a tonne

354
00:23:29,188 --> 00:23:31,217
of shit and that
lad has got pluck.

355
00:23:31,218 --> 00:23:33,617
So would you with a
name to live up to.

356
00:23:33,618 --> 00:23:35,856
Happen his father
were a brevet Major.

357
00:23:35,857 --> 00:23:39,096
Captured Marshal Jourdan's
baton at Vittoria.

358
00:23:39,097 --> 00:23:41,296
Begging your pardon, again, sir,

359
00:23:41,297 --> 00:23:43,816
but I wouldn't put much
money into that tale.

360
00:23:43,817 --> 00:23:46,336
There's only one Beauclere
I know of at Vittoria.

361
00:23:46,337 --> 00:23:48,455
And he was no brevet Major.

362
00:23:48,456 --> 00:23:52,055
Bewrayed his breeches at the
first volley and turned tail.

363
00:23:52,056 --> 00:23:55,055
Provosts found him
after the battle,

364
00:23:55,056 --> 00:23:58,694
at an inn, drunk as a judge
and in such a condition,

365
00:23:58,695 --> 00:24:00,734
put a rope to his neck.

366
00:24:00,735 --> 00:24:02,655
You are mistaken, Colour Wormwood.

367
00:24:03,855 --> 00:24:05,814
There was another
Captain Beauclere

368
00:24:05,815 --> 00:24:07,174
upon the field that day.

369
00:24:07,175 --> 00:24:09,253
Indeed, sir.

370
00:24:09,254 --> 00:24:11,413
And was there?

371
00:24:11,414 --> 00:24:14,133
I do not know the particulars
of this other fellow,

372
00:24:14,134 --> 00:24:16,253
but I assure you

373
00:24:16,254 --> 00:24:18,693
it was my father who
captured Jourdan's baton.

374
00:24:21,933 --> 00:24:24,092
Aye.

375
00:24:24,093 --> 00:24:26,772
Stay with the column, then,
if that is your will.

376
00:24:26,773 --> 00:24:28,693
Thank you, sir.

377
00:24:30,812 --> 00:24:33,212
Something you wanted
of us, Mr Beauclere?

378
00:24:34,332 --> 00:24:36,331
It's Miss Bonnet, sir.

379
00:24:36,332 --> 00:24:38,411
She's taken a horse.

380
00:24:38,412 --> 00:24:40,530
I tried to stop her, sir, but...

381
00:24:40,531 --> 00:24:43,251
she said she would only
be some short while.

382
00:25:14,448 --> 00:25:16,568
What the hell do you
think you're about?

383
00:25:18,568 --> 00:25:20,727
I wanted to ride.

384
00:25:20,728 --> 00:25:23,007
I can see that. Perhaps
you've forgot.

385
00:25:23,008 --> 00:25:26,246
But only last night we were
attacked by Chitu's bandits.

386
00:25:26,247 --> 00:25:28,446
They will be far behind us by now.

387
00:25:28,447 --> 00:25:31,127
I wouldn't be so sure. If I
can track you, so can they.

388
00:25:32,767 --> 00:25:34,805
I will return presently.

389
00:25:34,806 --> 00:25:36,845
Now, Madam.

390
00:25:36,846 --> 00:25:38,726
At once.

391
00:25:42,486 --> 00:25:44,485
God knows I didn't
look for this duty.

392
00:25:44,486 --> 00:25:46,484
But for better or worse,

393
00:25:46,485 --> 00:25:48,564
I'm responsible for your safety.

394
00:25:48,565 --> 00:25:50,564
Unhand me.

395
00:25:50,565 --> 00:25:52,644
You are rude, sir.

396
00:25:52,645 --> 00:25:54,724
You are rude and ignorant

397
00:25:54,725 --> 00:25:56,803
and an uncouth brute.

398
00:25:56,804 --> 00:25:59,363
And you, madam, are
a spoiled, wilful,

399
00:25:59,364 --> 00:26:01,843
petulant and selfish young fool.

400
00:26:01,844 --> 00:26:03,603
Selfish?

401
00:26:03,604 --> 00:26:06,363
If you will not take thoughts
of your own well-being,

402
00:26:06,364 --> 00:26:09,082
then at least consider
your fellow travellers.

403
00:26:09,083 --> 00:26:11,442
I'm seeing the column
safe to Kalimgong.

404
00:26:11,443 --> 00:26:14,042
We aren't chasing you up
and down the country.

405
00:26:14,043 --> 00:26:16,163
Now, get on your mount
and follow me back.

406
00:26:17,362 --> 00:26:19,401
Or will you have me carry you?

407
00:26:19,402 --> 00:26:21,282
You would not dare.

408
00:26:25,722 --> 00:26:27,682
I was done with my ride anyway.

409
00:26:38,361 --> 00:26:40,399
Do your duty now, boy.

410
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,439
You flow like the River Liffey.

411
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,360
Argh.

412
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,079
Sir. Major sahib.

413
00:27:05,438 --> 00:27:07,478
We're being attacked,
Your Highness.

414
00:27:21,307 --> 00:27:23,346
Can you fight?

415
00:27:29,186 --> 00:27:32,265
Stay here and keep out of
sight. I'll do no such thing.

416
00:27:32,266 --> 00:27:34,785
For once in your life, do
as you're damn well told.

417
00:27:56,463 --> 00:27:58,542
Fall back. Fall back.

418
00:27:58,543 --> 00:28:00,463
King's men and Company to me.

419
00:28:17,101 --> 00:28:19,021
I told you to stay put.

420
00:28:28,980 --> 00:28:31,499
I could use a rifle.
Not a bloody chance.

421
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:33,540
We need every man we can get.

422
00:29:11,376 --> 00:29:13,375
Count Dragomirov. Colonel Sharpe.

423
00:29:13,376 --> 00:29:15,575
By God,

424
00:29:15,576 --> 00:29:17,576
I were never so glad
to see a cavalryman.

425
00:29:18,816 --> 00:29:23,374
May I impose then upon your
hospitality for some short while?

426
00:29:23,375 --> 00:29:26,334
At least until our
mounts are rested,

427
00:29:26,335 --> 00:29:28,374
and we may continue the pursuit?

428
00:29:28,375 --> 00:29:30,255
Aye. And welcome.

429
00:29:32,974 --> 00:29:35,174
Colour Wormwood will
see you provisioned.

430
00:29:36,294 --> 00:29:38,214
I must take count of our losses.

431
00:29:40,014 --> 00:29:41,932
- Colour Wormwood.
- Sir.

432
00:29:41,933 --> 00:29:44,652
I want that prisoner secured now.

433
00:29:44,653 --> 00:29:46,652
This instant.

434
00:29:46,653 --> 00:29:48,573
You heard him. Take him away.

435
00:29:50,813 --> 00:29:53,731
Oh, I see the hand of God
is upon you still...

436
00:29:53,732 --> 00:29:55,652
Corporal Hakeswill.

437
00:29:57,492 --> 00:29:59,491
What did you call him?

438
00:29:59,492 --> 00:30:01,571
Corporal Hakeswill.

439
00:30:01,572 --> 00:30:03,491
The luckiest soldier I ever met.

440
00:30:04,611 --> 00:30:06,491
Hakeswill?

441
00:30:08,291 --> 00:30:10,330
God all bloody mighty.

442
00:30:10,331 --> 00:30:12,330
Take it easy, please.

443
00:30:12,331 --> 00:30:14,290
Please.

444
00:30:15,410 --> 00:30:17,449
Hakeswill?

445
00:30:17,450 --> 00:30:19,330
Enough now. Come on.

446
00:30:21,570 --> 00:30:24,249
Hakeswill, where did you
get your name, then?

447
00:30:24,250 --> 00:30:26,288
Stand off, Richard.

448
00:30:26,289 --> 00:30:28,328
Barabbas?

449
00:30:28,329 --> 00:30:30,328
A fine gesture is that.

450
00:30:30,329 --> 00:30:32,408
Stand off, please.

451
00:30:32,409 --> 00:30:35,408
Hakeswill. Hakeswill.

452
00:30:35,409 --> 00:30:37,567
And you give him a rifle?

453
00:30:37,568 --> 00:30:40,328
What's the matter, you
bastard? Cat got your tongue?

454
00:30:41,448 --> 00:30:43,647
I'm talking to you.

455
00:30:43,648 --> 00:30:46,247
- Where did you get your name?
- From a man like you.

456
00:30:46,248 --> 00:30:48,246
Aye. Redcoat was he?

457
00:30:48,247 --> 00:30:50,846
Sergeant? I know he was.

458
00:30:50,847 --> 00:30:52,886
Obadiah.

459
00:30:52,887 --> 00:30:55,206
Ah. I thought as much.

460
00:30:55,207 --> 00:30:58,525
Thief. Murderer. Rapist.

461
00:30:58,526 --> 00:31:00,486
That were your father, Barabbas.

462
00:31:04,686 --> 00:31:07,845
Well, I'll not leave it to a
court martial and the provosts.

463
00:31:07,846 --> 00:31:09,729
I'll make an end of
you here and now.

464
00:31:09,730 --> 00:31:11,364
What's this man's father to you?

465
00:31:11,365 --> 00:31:13,285
He killed my wife.

466
00:31:15,405 --> 00:31:17,325
Killed her.

467
00:31:19,484 --> 00:31:21,404
And left our daughter motherless.

468
00:31:22,884 --> 00:31:25,083
Now be content.

469
00:31:25,084 --> 00:31:27,043
For all that, sir,
this is not right.

470
00:31:27,044 --> 00:31:29,123
Look to your business, Major.

471
00:31:29,124 --> 00:31:31,282
If any man...

472
00:31:31,283 --> 00:31:33,883
comes between me and that
bastard, I'll kill them.

473
00:31:37,563 --> 00:31:39,802
- Out of the way, Pat.
- I can't let you do it.

474
00:31:39,803 --> 00:31:41,841
Stand aside, damn you.

475
00:31:41,842 --> 00:31:43,762
You'll have to put me down first.

476
00:32:01,041 --> 00:32:05,039
I regret I cannot spare any
of my men to your escort.

477
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,400
But you may depend, with
my squadron in pursuit,

478
00:32:08,550 --> 00:32:11,190
these devils will
trouble you no further.

479
00:32:12,350 --> 00:32:14,508
So, from here,

480
00:32:14,509 --> 00:32:16,428
- where will you go?
- Kalimgong.

481
00:32:16,429 --> 00:32:18,468
The Company garrison.

482
00:32:18,469 --> 00:32:20,389
You should be safe there.

483
00:33:03,545 --> 00:33:06,064
You should step down from
the waggon, Miss Bonnet.

484
00:33:06,065 --> 00:33:07,944
Take the air a while.

485
00:33:15,824 --> 00:33:17,822
How is he?

486
00:33:17,823 --> 00:33:19,502
He's failing.

487
00:33:19,503 --> 00:33:22,902
I do not know how much longer he
can last without proper care.

488
00:33:22,903 --> 00:33:25,103
I'm sure you're doing
all that can be done.

489
00:33:26,183 --> 00:33:28,102
We shall make Kalimgong tomorrow.

490
00:33:29,222 --> 00:33:31,102
The Subedar shall have a surgeon.

491
00:33:32,222 --> 00:33:34,142
And you, your Major Joubert.

492
00:33:36,662 --> 00:33:40,381
I am obliged to you for your
action during the attack.

493
00:33:41,501 --> 00:33:43,340
Obliged?

494
00:33:43,341 --> 00:33:45,500
I am reluctant to be in your debt.

495
00:33:45,501 --> 00:33:47,940
Having been the
daughter of a soldier,

496
00:33:47,941 --> 00:33:50,220
I care little for the profession.

497
00:33:52,460 --> 00:33:55,380
Then upon one thing at
least, we are in agreement.

498
00:33:56,660 --> 00:33:58,659
As for any obligation,

499
00:33:58,660 --> 00:34:00,738
I did my duty, madam.

500
00:34:00,739 --> 00:34:02,659
Nothing more.

501
00:34:14,698 --> 00:34:17,138
Have you not had enough
excitement for one day?

502
00:34:19,418 --> 00:34:21,457
He's bad blood, Pat.

503
00:34:21,458 --> 00:34:23,377
And that's an end on it.

504
00:34:24,617 --> 00:34:26,728
God knows, Richard,
I've never taken

505
00:34:26,729 --> 00:34:28,496
another man's side against you

506
00:34:28,497 --> 00:34:31,696
and I'm not gonna start
now, but you are wrong.

507
00:34:31,697 --> 00:34:33,696
- Am I though?
- In this, yeah, you are.

508
00:34:36,016 --> 00:34:37,896
Just keep him from my view.

509
00:34:40,056 --> 00:34:42,055
One more day, Pat.

510
00:34:42,056 --> 00:34:44,734
One more day and then
I'm rid of them.

511
00:34:44,735 --> 00:34:46,814
Miss Bonnet, Hakeswill,

512
00:34:46,815 --> 00:34:48,735
the whole damn lot.

513
00:35:07,173 --> 00:35:09,093
Whoa.

514
00:35:36,291 --> 00:35:38,449
Why do we delay? Is
there difficulty?

515
00:35:38,450 --> 00:35:40,809
Merely a precautionary
measure, madam.

516
00:35:40,810 --> 00:35:42,951
Mr Harper and myself
will reconnoitre

517
00:35:42,952 --> 00:35:44,529
- the way ahead.
- Reconnoitre?

518
00:35:44,530 --> 00:35:48,088
But... this is a Company
hill station, is it not?

519
00:35:48,089 --> 00:35:51,128
Aye, madam. And as such, I
would expect to see some men.

520
00:35:51,129 --> 00:35:53,128
At least upon the battlements.

521
00:35:53,129 --> 00:35:56,208
Major Tredinnick,
you have command.

522
00:35:56,209 --> 00:35:58,847
- Yes, sir.
- Wormwood, bring your section.

523
00:35:58,848 --> 00:36:00,807
Skirmish order.

524
00:36:00,808 --> 00:36:02,728
Skirmish order, lads.

525
00:36:42,164 --> 00:36:44,084
Secure the fort.

526
00:36:45,684 --> 00:36:48,124
You heard the Colonel,
gentlemen. Look to it.

527
00:36:59,123 --> 00:37:01,003
Safe bloody harbour is this.

528
00:37:02,643 --> 00:37:05,161
That Chitu bastard must
have some strength

529
00:37:05,162 --> 00:37:07,321
to take a fort fully garrisoned.

530
00:37:07,322 --> 00:37:09,242
An escalade maybe.

531
00:37:10,762 --> 00:37:12,921
Under cover of dark.

532
00:37:12,922 --> 00:37:15,160
Could have been over the
walls and among them

533
00:37:15,161 --> 00:37:17,160
before the alarm were raised.

534
00:37:17,161 --> 00:37:19,121
Here, sir, we've got a live 'un.

535
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,198
Christ God almighty.

536
00:37:37,199 --> 00:37:39,198
Simmerson.

537
00:37:39,199 --> 00:37:41,159
Do you know him, sir?

538
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:44,599
Aye, Croop.

539
00:37:46,598 --> 00:37:48,518
I know him.

540
00:37:57,657 --> 00:37:59,656
Deever.

541
00:37:59,657 --> 00:38:01,577
Sir.

542
00:38:04,337 --> 00:38:07,056
There's an infirmary
under the north rampart.

543
00:38:07,057 --> 00:38:08,896
Take the wounded there. Sir.

544
00:38:16,256 --> 00:38:18,255
Water. Water.

545
00:38:18,256 --> 00:38:20,334
I must have water.

546
00:38:20,335 --> 00:38:22,255
Give him some.

547
00:38:24,855 --> 00:38:26,974
Not too much now.

548
00:38:26,975 --> 00:38:30,053
Just enough to wet his lips
or else he'll split his guts.

549
00:38:30,054 --> 00:38:31,974
God bless you, sir, God bless you.

550
00:38:40,333 --> 00:38:43,692
Praise God, sweet
Jesus, for mercy.

551
00:38:43,693 --> 00:38:45,732
Mercy.

552
00:38:45,733 --> 00:38:47,772
Do you know, Simmerson?

553
00:38:47,773 --> 00:38:50,052
Do you not know me?

554
00:38:50,053 --> 00:38:52,051
Aye, sir.

555
00:38:52,052 --> 00:38:55,772
Thou art my redeemer, sir.

556
00:38:56,932 --> 00:38:59,331
Dick Sharpe, Sir
Henry. Richard Sharpe.

557
00:38:59,332 --> 00:39:02,291
The sweetest name in
all the world, sir.

558
00:39:05,971 --> 00:39:08,251
Come press your cheek
against my lips, sir.

559
00:39:09,371 --> 00:39:11,571
That I may kiss my
blessed saviour.

560
00:39:13,610 --> 00:39:15,570
The sun...

561
00:39:16,610 --> 00:39:19,290
We must save the harvest.

562
00:39:20,410 --> 00:39:22,609
He's raving.

563
00:39:22,610 --> 00:39:25,929
It might be a kindness to
ease his suffering, sir.

564
00:39:27,129 --> 00:39:29,928
I served once in a company
almost wiped out by his orders.

565
00:39:29,929 --> 00:39:32,248
He's a stupid, malicious bastard.

566
00:39:32,249 --> 00:39:34,367
Aye.

567
00:39:34,368 --> 00:39:36,408
For he's my stupid,
malicious bastard.

568
00:39:37,928 --> 00:39:41,488
If anybody has earned the
right to do for him, it's me.

569
00:39:43,808 --> 00:39:45,727
And I say he lives.

570
00:39:47,047 --> 00:39:49,046
Oh, no.

571
00:39:49,047 --> 00:39:51,886
No, no, no, no, no. It won't do.

572
00:39:51,887 --> 00:39:55,685
Am I to understand that gentlemen
and ladies are to billet together?

573
00:39:55,686 --> 00:39:57,725
It is too much.

574
00:39:57,726 --> 00:40:01,045
For shame, Mr Watkins, can not
you show some fellow feeling?

575
00:40:01,046 --> 00:40:03,285
Miss Bonnet has
suffered a great shock.

576
00:40:03,286 --> 00:40:05,206
What shock?

577
00:40:06,246 --> 00:40:08,485
She's come here to
meet her fiance.

578
00:40:10,285 --> 00:40:12,444
And as to our quarters,

579
00:40:12,445 --> 00:40:15,644
well, surely, between us we
can improve on our situation.

580
00:40:15,645 --> 00:40:17,843
Why here even, a broom.

581
00:40:17,844 --> 00:40:20,403
Might almost have been
waiting upon us for use.

582
00:40:20,404 --> 00:40:22,643
Perhaps, Reverend,
fetch me some water

583
00:40:22,644 --> 00:40:25,164
and see if there is some
scrubbing soap to be had.

584
00:40:30,043 --> 00:40:32,162
Colour Wormwood.

585
00:40:32,163 --> 00:40:34,242
The garrison must be
put in the earth.

586
00:40:34,243 --> 00:40:36,603
Will you organise a burial party?

587
00:40:37,803 --> 00:40:40,841
These hereabout lying dead is
Company troops, Mr Harper.

588
00:40:40,842 --> 00:40:43,041
What of it?

589
00:40:43,042 --> 00:40:45,361
You'll find the heathen
is most particular

590
00:40:45,362 --> 00:40:47,641
about his funeral observances.

591
00:40:47,642 --> 00:40:49,680
Is that a fact?

592
00:40:49,681 --> 00:40:51,720
You see...

593
00:40:51,721 --> 00:40:53,880
some is for burning,

594
00:40:53,881 --> 00:40:56,600
some for setting adrift
along this holy river.

595
00:40:56,601 --> 00:40:59,074
Whilst yet more has
a fancy to have

596
00:40:59,075 --> 00:41:01,479
their insides pecked out by birds.

597
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,479
It is a...

598
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,440
confusion.

599
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,488
Yet their wishes
must be considered,

600
00:41:09,489 --> 00:41:11,639
lest we... affront the living.

601
00:41:12,879 --> 00:41:15,519
Just seem them in the
ground, will you, Wormwood?

602
00:41:15,759 --> 00:41:17,839
And leave the rest
to the Almighty,

603
00:41:21,838 --> 00:41:23,877
You heard him, lads.

604
00:41:23,878 --> 00:41:25,758
Get on with it.

605
00:41:31,878 --> 00:41:35,636
To soldier I signed up for, I'm
not a bloody grave digger.

606
00:41:35,637 --> 00:41:37,596
It's my fancy we'll dig
a church yard full

607
00:41:37,597 --> 00:41:40,156
before that long-legged
jackanape is done with us.

608
00:41:40,157 --> 00:41:42,996
Just make sure it ain't our
own we're digging, Danny.

609
00:41:42,997 --> 00:41:45,596
Oh, I means to, I means to.

610
00:41:53,676 --> 00:41:56,314
The raiders have left us
little of use, Colonel.

611
00:41:56,315 --> 00:41:58,514
No food.

612
00:41:58,515 --> 00:42:00,795
And the well is spoiled
with the dead.

613
00:42:02,235 --> 00:42:04,714
I had thought among the flotsam

614
00:42:04,715 --> 00:42:07,194
to find some hint of
the garrison's fate.

615
00:42:08,354 --> 00:42:10,274
A bandit attack.

616
00:42:11,474 --> 00:42:14,553
I doubt the writer would have
had time to make note of such

617
00:42:14,554 --> 00:42:16,552
before being himself overcome.

618
00:42:16,553 --> 00:42:19,392
Yet someone has been
here before me.

619
00:42:19,393 --> 00:42:22,193
Unless these bandits
are men of learning,

620
00:42:23,353 --> 00:42:27,351
I can't reason their interest
in books and parchment bonds.

621
00:42:27,352 --> 00:42:29,272
Happen they've a taste for lists.

622
00:42:30,392 --> 00:42:32,272
The army is fond of lists.

623
00:42:34,472 --> 00:42:37,750
If you come upon any mention
of Miss Bonnet's fiance,

624
00:42:37,751 --> 00:42:39,910
you'll let me know of it.

625
00:42:39,911 --> 00:42:41,407
He's not among the dead?

626
00:42:41,408 --> 00:42:43,830
The only white man accounted
for is Simmerson.

627
00:42:43,831 --> 00:42:46,830
It's possible this Major
Joubert is out on patrol.

628
00:42:46,831 --> 00:42:48,989
I'll be glad to
give her some hope.

629
00:42:48,990 --> 00:42:52,269
My wife is offering such comfort
and assurance as she can.

630
00:42:52,270 --> 00:42:56,709
Aye. You've a good 'un there,
Major. If you'll allow.

631
00:42:56,710 --> 00:42:58,748
Indeed, Colonel.

632
00:42:58,749 --> 00:43:00,748
I hold myself the luckiest of men.

633
00:43:00,749 --> 00:43:02,869
Yet also, I fear, a selfish one.

634
00:43:04,109 --> 00:43:06,908
There's a score of years
and more between us, sir.

635
00:43:06,909 --> 00:43:08,959
I wonder sometimes
if she would have

636
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,787
been happier with a younger man.

637
00:43:10,788 --> 00:43:13,228
The choice was hers
to make, Major.

638
00:43:14,348 --> 00:43:16,308
To my mind, she chose wisely.

639
00:43:17,468 --> 00:43:19,507
Aye, sir, aye.

640
00:43:19,508 --> 00:43:21,666
As you say,

641
00:43:21,667 --> 00:43:23,747
fortune favours me
beyond my deserving.

642
00:43:25,827 --> 00:43:28,627
You'll catch 50 lashes if
Colour Wormwood finds you.

643
00:43:37,426 --> 00:43:39,346
Now then.

644
00:43:40,426 --> 00:43:42,264
Now then...

645
00:43:42,265 --> 00:43:44,224
What have you?

646
00:43:44,225 --> 00:43:46,945
As fine a pair this
soul ever laid eyes on.

647
00:43:48,505 --> 00:43:51,105
Don't tell me there's some
bevvy hid there still.

648
00:43:58,424 --> 00:44:01,223
God bless officers.
Soldiers share.

649
00:44:01,224 --> 00:44:03,104
Always.

650
00:44:05,583 --> 00:44:07,782
But not here?

651
00:44:07,783 --> 00:44:09,598
Let's find ourselves
a bit of peace

652
00:44:09,599 --> 00:44:11,463
and quiet so we can
enjoy it proper.

653
00:44:15,542 --> 00:44:17,462
Should you be here, madam?

654
00:44:18,582 --> 00:44:20,581
I can send someone to relieve you.

655
00:44:20,582 --> 00:44:22,702
My time is better occupied.

656
00:44:24,342 --> 00:44:26,340
How fares the General?

657
00:44:26,341 --> 00:44:28,420
His thoughts come and go.

658
00:44:28,421 --> 00:44:30,420
And the boy?

659
00:44:30,421 --> 00:44:32,620
Sleeping.

660
00:44:32,621 --> 00:44:34,820
If you embrace Christ
with all your heart,

661
00:44:34,821 --> 00:44:36,979
even at this late hour,

662
00:44:36,980 --> 00:44:39,849
all your sins will be
washed as white as snow.

663
00:44:39,850 --> 00:44:40,850
Come, sir.

664
00:44:40,940 --> 00:44:43,539
I thought we'd cleared
this place of vultures.

665
00:44:43,540 --> 00:44:46,698
You must leave the sick
to their rest, Mr Watkin.

666
00:44:46,699 --> 00:44:49,418
As Madame tends to the
physical, Colonel,

667
00:44:49,419 --> 00:44:51,418
so I look to tend
the immortal soul.

668
00:44:51,419 --> 00:44:53,498
As maybe, sir.

669
00:44:53,499 --> 00:44:55,498
Yet you must come away.

670
00:44:55,499 --> 00:44:57,418
Now, sir.

671
00:44:59,578 --> 00:45:01,657
The man is dying.

672
00:45:01,658 --> 00:45:04,177
Will you not let him go in peace?

673
00:45:04,178 --> 00:45:07,137
I am on God's work,
Colonel. God's work.

674
00:45:07,138 --> 00:45:10,256
- You're a bloody hypocrite.
- For shame, sir. For shame.

675
00:45:10,257 --> 00:45:12,896
At least Simmerson has
cause for his madness.

676
00:45:12,897 --> 00:45:15,816
You? You're the worst
kind of lunatic.

677
00:45:15,817 --> 00:45:18,416
About your business, sir,
and try me no further.

678
00:45:18,417 --> 00:45:20,615
Go, sir, sing,

679
00:45:20,616 --> 00:45:22,432
cry hallelujah and
give amen to the

680
00:45:22,433 --> 00:45:24,096
top of your lungs, but not here.

681
00:45:29,460 --> 00:45:31,340
[WOMAN SINGING]

682
00:45:46,214 --> 00:45:48,134
Hey, hey, hey.

683
00:46:00,893 --> 00:46:02,732
Ah. Hello, missy.

684
00:46:03,852 --> 00:46:05,772
How might a kiss be?

685
00:46:10,132 --> 00:46:12,372
Hold her, Ned, that I may
have a kiss off her.

686
00:46:24,010 --> 00:46:25,930
Leave her be.

687
00:46:29,570 --> 00:46:31,490
All right?

688
00:46:34,169 --> 00:46:36,729
A pretty pickle and no mistake.

689
00:46:37,849 --> 00:46:39,888
600 miles between here and home.

690
00:46:39,889 --> 00:46:41,728
I don't think we can rely

691
00:46:41,729 --> 00:46:44,288
on Dragomirov's troopers
to deliver us again.

692
00:46:44,289 --> 00:46:46,248
We've done what we said.

693
00:46:47,328 --> 00:46:49,407
We brought them safely here.

694
00:46:49,408 --> 00:46:51,407
We have.

695
00:46:51,408 --> 00:46:53,368
Ain't our business to do owt else.

696
00:46:54,488 --> 00:46:56,526
I won't argue with that.

697
00:46:56,527 --> 00:46:58,566
Right.

698
00:46:58,567 --> 00:47:00,487
Right.

699
00:47:01,607 --> 00:47:03,646
We should just...

700
00:47:03,647 --> 00:47:05,527
just leave them, then?

701
00:47:06,646 --> 00:47:08,566
We should.

702
00:47:09,686 --> 00:47:11,646
But you won't.

703
00:47:14,006 --> 00:47:15,886
Major.

704
00:47:18,125 --> 00:47:20,165
Major, there's been
some trouble, sir.

705
00:47:20,325 --> 00:47:22,484
Please, sir, come with me.

706
00:47:22,485 --> 00:47:24,525
Just when it seemed
to be going so well.

707
00:47:27,085 --> 00:47:29,306
Keep to all as I
foretold, girl, or

708
00:47:29,307 --> 00:47:31,403
the worst of it will come to you.

709
00:47:31,404 --> 00:47:33,324
Savvy?

710
00:47:39,403 --> 00:47:41,403
What the hell is going
on here, Colour?

711
00:47:42,563 --> 00:47:44,882
My men come along your
sapper there, sir,

712
00:47:44,883 --> 00:47:48,242
looking to take his pleasure of
the maid, he was, sir, by force.

713
00:47:48,243 --> 00:47:50,961
Naturally, being
concerned of her honour,

714
00:47:50,962 --> 00:47:52,961
they come to her defence.

715
00:47:52,962 --> 00:47:54,882
You can ask the girl, sir.

716
00:48:01,161 --> 00:48:03,200
Sir, I did not.

717
00:48:03,201 --> 00:48:05,240
Their word against his, sir.

718
00:48:05,241 --> 00:48:07,400
That's the very nub of it.

719
00:48:07,401 --> 00:48:10,200
I can't believe a fine
officer such as yourself

720
00:48:10,201 --> 00:48:13,519
would want to take sides with
one of them. Against your own.

721
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,479
Not only are you a liar, Wormwood,
but a bloody fool also.

722
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,559
Liar, sir?

723
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,078
That's a very serious charge, sir.

724
00:48:22,079 --> 00:48:24,078
Very serious.

725
00:48:24,079 --> 00:48:26,158
Not at all the sort of accusation

726
00:48:26,159 --> 00:48:28,718
an officer would make
against an enlisted man

727
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,958
without such proofs as would
be necessary to back it up.

728
00:48:31,959 --> 00:48:33,787
- Proofs?
- Cases where the honour of

729
00:48:33,788 --> 00:48:35,837
an enlisted man
have been impugned,

730
00:48:35,838 --> 00:48:38,357
sir, KRs are very clear
about such proofs, sir.

731
00:48:38,358 --> 00:48:40,477
A barrack room lawyer, too?

732
00:48:40,478 --> 00:48:43,956
King's Regulations is like the
good book itself to such as I.

733
00:48:43,957 --> 00:48:45,876
Then you'll know what
the punishment is

734
00:48:45,877 --> 00:48:47,836
for running an
indisciplined section.

735
00:48:47,837 --> 00:48:49,797
Indisciplined?

736
00:48:51,357 --> 00:48:53,876
These men are unfit for
duty through drink.

737
00:48:53,877 --> 00:48:56,106
They are on drunk, sir, I
grant, but on duty, sir?

738
00:48:56,107 --> 00:48:57,107
No, sir.

739
00:48:57,116 --> 00:48:58,916
There we differs. Do we, Colour?

740
00:49:00,076 --> 00:49:02,275
We does, sir.

741
00:49:02,276 --> 00:49:04,435
I was raised up from
the ranks, Wormwood.

742
00:49:04,436 --> 00:49:06,634
You know what that means?

743
00:49:06,635 --> 00:49:09,634
It means you've done a
feat, sir. Usually.

744
00:49:09,635 --> 00:49:12,874
It also means I know every dirty
soldier's trick in the book.

745
00:49:12,875 --> 00:49:14,914
Is that so, sir?

746
00:49:14,915 --> 00:49:16,953
It is so.

747
00:49:16,954 --> 00:49:18,874
And I'll tell you something more.

748
00:49:19,954 --> 00:49:22,033
Rape is a hanging offence.

749
00:49:22,034 --> 00:49:24,033
Even attempted.

750
00:49:24,034 --> 00:49:27,032
Rape's a hanging,
drunk's a flogging.

751
00:49:27,033 --> 00:49:29,112
And you in charge of all.

752
00:49:29,113 --> 00:49:31,152
Sir.

753
00:49:31,153 --> 00:49:33,192
I could break you for this.

754
00:49:33,193 --> 00:49:35,113
Push you down to private.

755
00:49:36,313 --> 00:49:39,911
I've seen some piss-poor sections
in my time, by God I have,

756
00:49:39,912 --> 00:49:41,991
But yours is a bloody disgrace.

757
00:49:41,992 --> 00:49:43,991
Work-shy, gutless,

758
00:49:43,992 --> 00:49:46,071
but that is gonna change.

759
00:49:46,072 --> 00:49:49,070
From now on, they are on picket.

760
00:49:49,071 --> 00:49:51,190
Permanent.

761
00:49:51,191 --> 00:49:54,071
And every spare second,
you're gonna be on drill.

762
00:49:55,311 --> 00:49:57,350
Pat. Sir.

763
00:49:57,351 --> 00:50:00,190
I want them sober and on the
firestep within the hour.

764
00:50:01,270 --> 00:50:03,309
Right, you sons of whores,

765
00:50:03,310 --> 00:50:05,349
you heard the officer.

766
00:50:05,350 --> 00:50:07,270
Double, double, double.

767
00:50:12,909 --> 00:50:14,869
Aye, I know Robert.

768
00:50:17,189 --> 00:50:19,348
Believe me.

769
00:50:19,349 --> 00:50:22,387
If things were else, I'd hang
them and have done with it.

770
00:50:22,388 --> 00:50:25,308
But we've 600 mile of
hostile country before us.

771
00:50:27,028 --> 00:50:28,948
And I need every man I've got.

772
00:50:38,387 --> 00:50:40,307
He will not be long now.

773
00:50:42,586 --> 00:50:44,466
I'll stay by him.

774
00:50:47,386 --> 00:50:49,306
There is no word of Philippe?

775
00:50:50,426 --> 00:50:52,346
No, madam, not yet.

776
00:50:54,065 --> 00:50:56,425
But that he was not found
amongst the rest...

777
00:50:58,625 --> 00:51:01,304
it's possible Major
Joubert survived.

778
00:51:01,305 --> 00:51:03,304
Joubert...

779
00:51:03,305 --> 00:51:05,383
Joubert.

780
00:51:05,384 --> 00:51:08,623
The devil. The filthy devil.

781
00:51:08,624 --> 00:51:10,663
Lie still, sir.

782
00:51:10,664 --> 00:51:12,703
You are not yourself.

783
00:51:12,704 --> 00:51:14,822
Joubert.

784
00:51:14,823 --> 00:51:17,942
The harvest. We must
save the harvest.

785
00:51:17,943 --> 00:51:19,942
Stop him.

786
00:51:19,943 --> 00:51:21,863
Stop him...

787
00:51:23,103 --> 00:51:25,902
He's not in his right
mind, madam. I promise.

788
00:51:27,062 --> 00:51:29,462
- He'll be calling for my head.
- Sir.

789
00:51:31,582 --> 00:51:33,502
I think he's gone, sir.

790
00:51:43,581 --> 00:51:45,501
Aye.

791
00:51:46,780 --> 00:51:49,059
Aye, he's that.

792
00:51:49,060 --> 00:51:51,459
Sharpe means to lead
us on to Calcutta.

793
00:51:51,460 --> 00:51:53,459
Says who?

794
00:51:53,460 --> 00:51:55,539
Colour had it off his own lips.

795
00:51:55,540 --> 00:51:57,538
Then we're dead men.

796
00:51:57,539 --> 00:51:59,459
Someone should do something.

797
00:52:02,739 --> 00:52:04,818
What though, boys?

798
00:52:04,819 --> 00:52:06,739
There's the rub.

799
00:52:08,058 --> 00:52:09,978
And who to do it?

800
00:52:12,018 --> 00:52:13,898
Any volunteers?

801
00:52:16,378 --> 00:52:18,258
A soldier's solution, then.

802
00:52:19,577 --> 00:52:21,736
We shall be like unto the Roman,

803
00:52:21,737 --> 00:52:24,296
when the parted his
raiment into four,

804
00:52:24,297 --> 00:52:26,616
yet would not rend his vesture,

805
00:52:26,617 --> 00:52:28,537
but rather cast lots for it.

806
00:52:33,856 --> 00:52:36,187
He that plucks the
shortest measure

807
00:52:36,188 --> 00:52:37,935
from Deever's shut fist...

808
00:52:37,936 --> 00:52:40,375
shall stand assassin.

809
00:52:52,934 --> 00:52:54,854
That's murder, Colour.

810
00:52:57,294 --> 00:52:59,214
It's him or us, boys.

811
00:53:00,734 --> 00:53:02,653
Him or us.

812
00:53:19,572 --> 00:53:21,452
Pat.

813
00:53:52,769 --> 00:53:54,808
Jesus.

814
00:53:54,809 --> 00:53:56,847
Keep them back, Pat.

815
00:53:56,848 --> 00:53:58,768
Tell them to keep back.

816
00:54:40,164 --> 00:54:42,203
How many?

817
00:54:42,204 --> 00:54:44,603
Too many. 60, 70.

818
00:54:44,604 --> 00:54:46,603
Whole families, Richard.

819
00:54:46,604 --> 00:54:48,803
Young and old.

820
00:54:48,804 --> 00:54:51,083
Men, women, children,
for the love of God.

821
00:54:52,283 --> 00:54:54,922
This Chitu is as wicked a
dog as I've ever known.

822
00:54:54,923 --> 00:54:57,042
Aye.

823
00:54:57,043 --> 00:55:00,282
But it's a strange kind of
rebel that slaughters his own.

824
00:55:00,283 --> 00:55:03,161
Do you not think? These
people were farmers, Pat.

825
00:55:03,162 --> 00:55:06,162
No threat to any. Where's
the profit in it?

826
00:55:07,322 --> 00:55:09,882
You've set your finger on the
nub of the matter, Colonel.

827
00:55:11,361 --> 00:55:14,281
There's more to this
than simple rebellion.

828
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,799
I'm told you had some
time this afternoon

829
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,479
in conversation with Major
Tredinnick, General.

830
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,638
Whom?

831
00:55:32,639 --> 00:55:35,238
We spoke of the attack
upon Kalimgong, General.

832
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,358
You remember?

833
00:55:37,359 --> 00:55:40,878
Of course I remember.
Damned hard to forget.

834
00:55:40,879 --> 00:55:44,278
Perhaps you'll be so good as to
tell these gentlemen what befell.

835
00:55:45,838 --> 00:55:51,157
Company half squadron arrived
to collect the early harvest.

836
00:55:51,158 --> 00:55:53,397
And this would have
been the 70 chests

837
00:55:53,398 --> 00:55:55,717
mentioned in the Company
writer's report?

838
00:55:57,397 --> 00:55:59,436
General?

839
00:55:59,437 --> 00:56:01,317
It would, sir.

840
00:56:02,837 --> 00:56:05,676
I gave the task to my
second-in-command.

841
00:56:06,796 --> 00:56:08,756
First mistake.

842
00:56:10,676 --> 00:56:13,355
Not my usual aide-de-camp.

843
00:56:13,356 --> 00:56:16,795
But a damned Frenchman
on temporary attachment.

844
00:56:17,915 --> 00:56:20,114
Papers in order.

845
00:56:20,115 --> 00:56:23,315
But I thought it a rum
go over all the same.

846
00:56:25,395 --> 00:56:27,314
Cavalryman, you see?

847
00:56:29,274 --> 00:56:31,954
Never trust a damned Frenchman.

848
00:56:35,354 --> 00:56:37,233
Go on, sir.

849
00:56:41,033 --> 00:56:44,073
The devil had my sepoys
load his waggons.

850
00:56:45,713 --> 00:56:47,912
Then once the job was done,

851
00:56:47,913 --> 00:56:52,231
damn my eyes if the Major
didn't mount up the cavalry

852
00:56:52,232 --> 00:56:54,152
and turn them upon us.

853
00:56:56,392 --> 00:56:59,831
Entire garrison
slaughtered to a man.

854
00:57:01,551 --> 00:57:03,431
Only I was spared.

855
00:57:04,591 --> 00:57:06,590
- Who was he?
- I've told you.

856
00:57:06,591 --> 00:57:08,710
Damn Frenchman.

857
00:57:08,711 --> 00:57:11,989
Major Joubert, the
3rd Native Cavalry.

858
00:57:11,990 --> 00:57:14,949
But we agreed, sir, you were
confused upon the point.

859
00:57:14,950 --> 00:57:17,149
Joubert is the fiance
to the young lady

860
00:57:17,150 --> 00:57:19,589
who has been tending
you in your infirmity.

861
00:57:19,590 --> 00:57:23,068
I think I might remember
the name of the devil

862
00:57:23,069 --> 00:57:26,029
who staked me out under
the sun to die, sir.

863
00:57:28,389 --> 00:57:30,269
Joubert.

864
00:57:31,388 --> 00:57:34,148
Major Philippe Joubert.

865
00:57:39,628 --> 00:57:41,667
- Madam.
- Non.

866
00:57:41,668 --> 00:57:45,186
Philippe is dead. The General
is mistaken. You said yourself.

867
00:57:45,187 --> 00:57:47,266
Perhaps.

868
00:57:47,267 --> 00:57:49,787
Yet we did not find him.

869
00:57:51,947 --> 00:57:53,866
It's not possible.

870
00:57:55,786 --> 00:57:57,866
You think I would
marry such a man?

871
00:57:58,586 --> 00:58:01,866
What the hell was in those chests
that was so important anyway?

872
00:58:01,916 --> 00:58:03,835
Opium, Pat.

873
00:58:05,315 --> 00:58:08,675
Grown under licence from the
Company and destined for China.

874
00:58:09,875 --> 00:58:11,994
Same as they were raising
in this village.

875
00:58:11,995 --> 00:58:14,233
Colonel Sharpe is
right, gentlemen.

876
00:58:14,234 --> 00:58:17,033
The Company has these last
years imported from China

877
00:58:17,034 --> 00:58:19,113
ever greater quantities of tea.

878
00:58:19,114 --> 00:58:21,034
Tea must be bought with something.

879
00:58:22,194 --> 00:58:24,353
It helped them to
balance the books.

880
00:58:24,354 --> 00:58:26,712
By selling China the
one thing she craves.

881
00:58:26,713 --> 00:58:28,404
You have not one whit of proof to

882
00:58:28,405 --> 00:58:30,352
support so scandalous
an allegation.

883
00:58:30,353 --> 00:58:32,512
I expect he does.

884
00:58:32,513 --> 00:58:35,592
I had occasion myself to
examine the writer's office.

885
00:58:35,593 --> 00:58:39,111
There are some certain ledgers
and accounting books missing.

886
00:58:39,112 --> 00:58:42,391
The contents of which I intend
upon my return to England,

887
00:58:42,392 --> 00:58:45,591
and to the everlasting shame
of His Majesty's government,

888
00:58:45,592 --> 00:58:47,750
to make known.

889
00:58:47,751 --> 00:58:49,910
It would seem this
Joubert, then, sir,

890
00:58:49,911 --> 00:58:52,350
has resolved to enter
into the trade himself.

891
00:58:52,351 --> 00:58:54,510
Not just him, Mr Beauclere.

892
00:58:54,511 --> 00:58:57,389
The half squadron of cavalry
that came to Kalimgong

893
00:58:57,390 --> 00:58:59,469
was of the 3rd Native Horse.

894
00:58:59,470 --> 00:59:01,390
It's Dragomirov.

895
00:59:02,510 --> 00:59:04,509
Stealing the harvest.

896
00:59:04,510 --> 00:59:06,470
And blame it on this rebel Chitu.

897
00:59:07,990 --> 00:59:09,869
If such a man even exists.

898
00:59:22,148 --> 00:59:24,227
There's something out there, sir.

899
00:59:24,228 --> 00:59:26,267
Moving.

900
00:59:26,268 --> 00:59:28,307
In those trees and bushes.

901
00:59:28,308 --> 00:59:30,227
Skirmish order.

902
00:59:53,545 --> 00:59:56,144
Halt. Who goes there?

903
00:59:56,145 --> 00:59:57,944
Sharpe.

904
00:59:57,945 --> 00:59:59,905
Advance and be recognised.

905
01:00:01,145 --> 01:00:03,863
What was it? A tiger? What?

906
01:00:03,864 --> 01:00:05,903
Yeah, a tiger, all right.

907
01:00:05,904 --> 01:00:07,824
But only a little 'un.

908
01:00:11,224 --> 01:00:13,302
The lass say owt?

909
01:00:13,303 --> 01:00:15,422
Men on horses, sir.

910
01:00:15,423 --> 01:00:17,982
- Bandits?
- Or "bad men" she says.

911
01:00:17,983 --> 01:00:21,303
And one of them, their "chief"
she called him, was white.

912
01:00:25,462 --> 01:00:28,302
Why did Dragomirov let us
carry on to the hill station?

913
01:00:29,422 --> 01:00:31,581
Happen he'd no notion then.

914
01:00:31,582 --> 01:00:34,260
The fort had already
fallen. To Joubert.

915
01:00:34,261 --> 01:00:36,380
Nor reason to care over much.

916
01:00:36,381 --> 01:00:38,420
For we should have
taken such slaughter

917
01:00:38,421 --> 01:00:40,340
to be the work of Chitu
and his bandits.

918
01:00:40,341 --> 01:00:42,780
More, sir, we should have
returned to the lines

919
01:00:42,781 --> 01:00:45,299
bearing tales which served
to further his deception.

920
01:00:45,300 --> 01:00:47,180
Only, Joubert made a mistake.

921
01:00:48,380 --> 01:00:50,740
He left alive a witness
to his treachery.

922
01:00:52,060 --> 01:00:54,699
If in ignorance, then,
we presented no threat,

923
01:00:54,700 --> 01:00:56,743
we must assume that
when Dragomirov

924
01:00:56,744 --> 01:00:58,218
is reunited with Joubert,

925
01:00:58,219 --> 01:01:00,019
- the truth will out.
- Aye.

926
01:01:01,619 --> 01:01:03,499
We leave at first light.

927
01:01:17,817 --> 01:01:19,976
They have been and gone.

928
01:01:19,977 --> 01:01:23,816
I hope, Major Joubert, that your
taste for the dramatic flourish

929
01:01:23,817 --> 01:01:25,976
is not about to cost us dear.

930
01:01:25,977 --> 01:01:28,095
Monsieur.

931
01:01:28,096 --> 01:01:30,215
If Simmerson died

932
01:01:30,216 --> 01:01:33,296
before Sharpe's column
got here, all is well.

933
01:01:34,976 --> 01:01:39,735
If he survived, however,
to tell of your perfidy...

934
01:02:07,133 --> 01:02:09,332
The bridge is gone.

935
01:02:09,333 --> 01:02:11,451
I'd say the rains
have washed it away.

936
01:02:11,452 --> 01:02:16,291
Colour Wormwood, take picket.
Sing out if any bugger comes.

937
01:02:16,292 --> 01:02:18,331
- Sir.
- Pat.

938
01:02:18,332 --> 01:02:20,851
Unhitch the waggons,
turn the animals loose.

939
01:02:20,852 --> 01:02:24,490
I understand Mr Nash is
upon fashioning a pavilion

940
01:02:24,491 --> 01:02:27,570
very like your own for the
Prince Regent, Your Highness.

941
01:02:27,571 --> 01:02:30,481
- In Brighton.
- Brighton?

942
01:02:30,482 --> 01:02:33,449
A small town by the
sea. In Sussex.

943
01:02:33,450 --> 01:02:36,770
When complete, I fancy it will be
the gayest place under heaven.

944
01:02:38,250 --> 01:02:40,609
Your Highness, I must
ask you to dismount.

945
01:02:40,610 --> 01:02:43,169
Dismount? Why?

946
01:02:43,170 --> 01:02:45,888
We bear enough provision
for ourselves, madam.

947
01:02:45,889 --> 01:02:49,368
The animals must be turned loose
here and left to themselves.

948
01:02:49,369 --> 01:02:51,568
I will not abandon my Chetak.

949
01:02:51,569 --> 01:02:54,287
We've no choice, madam.
From here we go on foot.

950
01:02:54,288 --> 01:02:57,487
Only those things essential to
our journey may be carried.

951
01:02:57,488 --> 01:02:59,408
Food, water, ammunition.

952
01:03:02,248 --> 01:03:05,166
Keep that rope nice
and tight now, Singh.

953
01:03:05,167 --> 01:03:07,087
Nice and tight.

954
01:03:18,246 --> 01:03:21,285
Only those things essential
to our journey, Mr Watkin.

955
01:03:21,286 --> 01:03:23,165
Maybe you did not hear.

956
01:03:23,166 --> 01:03:25,845
But these things are
essential, Colonel Sharpe.

957
01:03:25,846 --> 01:03:27,924
Indeed?

958
01:03:27,925 --> 01:03:30,564
This is essential?
And that, and these?

959
01:03:30,565 --> 01:03:33,604
They are liturgical
accoutrements, sir.

960
01:03:33,605 --> 01:03:36,324
Necessary to furnish my
new mission at Banutola.

961
01:03:36,325 --> 01:03:38,523
Once we've reached safe ground,

962
01:03:38,524 --> 01:03:41,443
you can make arrangements to
have your equipment retrieved.

963
01:03:41,444 --> 01:03:43,324
But, Colonel...

964
01:03:51,710 --> 01:03:53,630
[THEY SPEAK IN A NATIVE TONGUE]

965
01:04:02,962 --> 01:04:04,961
Where is she going?

966
01:04:04,962 --> 01:04:06,922
It's my looking glass.

967
01:04:07,922 --> 01:04:09,920
With Colonel Sharpe's haste

968
01:04:09,921 --> 01:04:12,720
to have us abandon all our
belongings, she forgot it.

969
01:04:12,721 --> 01:04:15,200
- We've no time for this, madam.
- I know.

970
01:04:15,201 --> 01:04:17,440
I told her so, Mr Harper,
I told her, but...

971
01:04:17,441 --> 01:04:19,521
she insists.

972
01:04:31,679 --> 01:04:33,679
I looked for you at
Kalimgong, Colonel.

973
01:04:34,879 --> 01:04:37,518
But I only found fresh graves
and the garrison missing.

974
01:04:37,519 --> 01:04:39,638
The fort was attacked

975
01:04:39,639 --> 01:04:42,317
and a company entire
put to the sword.

976
01:04:42,318 --> 01:04:44,118
- Did none survive?
- None.

977
01:04:45,838 --> 01:04:47,917
Philippe.

978
01:04:47,918 --> 01:04:49,918
Non.

979
01:04:56,517 --> 01:04:58,676
But I think one perhaps.

980
01:04:58,677 --> 01:05:02,717
And by your lie, I must assume he
has told you of his misfortune.

981
01:05:03,796 --> 01:05:06,075
Leaving the commanding
officer alive

982
01:05:06,076 --> 01:05:09,115
was an unnecessary cruelty
on my associate's behalf.

983
01:05:09,116 --> 01:05:11,235
Major Joubert.

984
01:05:11,236 --> 01:05:14,754
I cannot allow your
companions to reach the lines

985
01:05:14,755 --> 01:05:17,634
in receipt of such
intelligence against me.

986
01:05:17,635 --> 01:05:19,082
Are you gonna kill them?

987
01:05:19,083 --> 01:05:21,594
In any enterprise there
is always spoilage.

988
01:05:21,595 --> 01:05:25,593
But as gentlemen, can we not come
to some reasonable agreement?

989
01:05:25,594 --> 01:05:27,753
You and I?

990
01:05:27,754 --> 01:05:30,833
There is no need for you to
suffer along with the rest.

991
01:05:30,834 --> 01:05:34,354
Nor indeed the good
Major's fianced bride.

992
01:05:34,786 --> 01:05:37,386
[THEY SPEAK FRENCH]

993
01:05:37,593 --> 01:05:39,792
If it is a matter of scruple,
I have always found gold

994
01:05:39,793 --> 01:05:42,752
the sovereign thing on earth
for a troubled conscience.

995
01:05:42,753 --> 01:05:45,952
There's not enough gold in the
world to buy your life back.

996
01:05:45,953 --> 01:05:48,071
My life?

997
01:05:48,072 --> 01:05:51,272
Well, we shall have our time.
Perhaps sooner than you think.

998
01:05:53,712 --> 01:05:55,791
Quick.

999
01:05:55,792 --> 01:05:57,711
Quick, get him across.

1000
01:06:02,191 --> 01:06:04,691
- Colonel, sahib.
- Come on, lass.

1001
01:06:27,749 --> 01:06:29,747
Major. Get up, sir.

1002
01:06:29,748 --> 01:06:31,708
Get up.

1003
01:06:38,908 --> 01:06:40,827
I want them alive.

1004
01:06:50,947 --> 01:06:52,985
Come on, Richard. Up you come.

1005
01:06:52,986 --> 01:06:54,906
Come on.

1006
01:07:14,944 --> 01:07:16,824
Richard.

1007
01:07:22,544 --> 01:07:24,622
Where the hell are you going?

1008
01:07:24,623 --> 01:07:26,742
Can't leave her to them, Pat.

1009
01:07:26,743 --> 01:07:29,142
You go across that river,
you're a dead man.

1010
01:07:29,143 --> 01:07:31,182
What good are you to her then?

1011
01:07:31,183 --> 01:07:33,103
Damn it to hell.

1012
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:48,879
Fall back.

1013
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:51,279
Fall back, damn it.

1014
01:07:51,980 --> 01:07:54,060
They're retreating.

1015
01:07:58,180 --> 01:08:00,139
You'll have to take them on, Pat.

1016
01:08:00,140 --> 01:08:02,219
Me? Hold on a minute.

1017
01:08:02,220 --> 01:08:04,379
No argument.

1018
01:08:04,380 --> 01:08:08,180
Dragomirov will be looking
for another place to cross.

1019
01:08:09,820 --> 01:08:13,059
You keep to Tredinnick's map.

1020
01:08:13,060 --> 01:08:15,339
I'll rejoin you as I may.

1021
01:08:15,340 --> 01:08:17,220
Richard, what are you doing?

1022
01:08:19,460 --> 01:08:21,380
She came back for me, Pat.

1023
01:08:23,140 --> 01:08:25,060
She came back for me.

1024
01:08:31,220 --> 01:08:33,180
Argh.

1025
01:08:35,860 --> 01:08:38,579
I cannot reach the ball, sir.
It is too deeply lodged.

1026
01:08:38,580 --> 01:08:39,580
Can he be moved?

1027
01:08:39,665 --> 01:08:42,219
If you wish him to bleed
afresh with every step.

1028
01:08:42,220 --> 01:08:45,819
Indeed, Mr Harper... I can.

1029
01:08:45,820 --> 01:08:47,819
Robert.

1030
01:08:47,820 --> 01:08:49,740
I will.

1031
01:08:54,820 --> 01:08:57,820
If Lance-Naik Singh will
lend me his shoulder.

1032
01:08:59,820 --> 01:09:01,740
I can travel.

1033
01:09:21,100 --> 01:09:23,299
With consideration, Mr Harper,

1034
01:09:23,300 --> 01:09:25,939
I've come to the opinion
the General is mad, sir.

1035
01:09:25,940 --> 01:09:28,099
Have you ever met one that wasn't?

1036
01:09:28,100 --> 01:09:30,299
Come on, Mr Beauclere,
pick up the pace.

1037
01:09:30,300 --> 01:09:32,220
That's the way, sir.

1038
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,199
Damn forlorn hope, I calls it.

1039
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,839
Staunch griping, Quilter,
I will not hear it.

1040
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:58,239
There is always hope. While
Colonel Sharpe was with us, sir.

1041
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:01,359
Not now. It's a bitter
blow, I grant you.

1042
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,479
But all is not lost.

1043
01:10:03,480 --> 01:10:06,679
We must trust to Mr Harper and
support him in all things.

1044
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:08,879
He's no rank, sir.

1045
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:10,959
No.

1046
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:12,959
No, he has not.

1047
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,679
Yet he will, I think,
get us through.

1048
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:18,600
Pray God you're right, sir.

1049
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:21,640
Pray God you're right.

1050
01:10:24,796 --> 01:10:26,596
Do you not want to bathe, cherie?

1051
01:10:26,597 --> 01:10:28,197
I do not wish to.

1052
01:10:28,598 --> 01:10:30,598
But I wish it.

1053
01:10:31,399 --> 01:10:34,322
If it is your modesty
that prevents it,

1054
01:10:34,324 --> 01:10:37,100
do not fear. I will
send my men away.

1055
01:11:08,292 --> 01:11:09,653
I see you are ready.

1056
01:11:11,136 --> 01:11:12,536
What do you want of me sir?

1057
01:11:12,537 --> 01:11:14,537
Show yourself.

1058
01:11:17,145 --> 01:11:21,545
It's three years since I saw
a white woman. Show me.

1059
01:11:22,440 --> 01:11:24,439
Stand by, you bastard.

1060
01:11:24,440 --> 01:11:26,519
Stand back.

1061
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,440
Ah, the English Colonel, huh?

1062
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,159
Soldat.

1063
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,279
Colonel Sharpe, is it not?

1064
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:36,519
No doubt, Count
Dragomirov will reward me

1065
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,520
for bringing such a
useful prisoner.

1066
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,400
- Soldat. To me.
- Your men are dead, Joubert.

1067
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,239
- Just you and me now.
- No.

1068
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,200
Only me.

1069
01:13:31,440 --> 01:13:33,439
It's all right, lass.

1070
01:13:33,440 --> 01:13:35,400
From now on you're safe.

1071
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,400
I've given him as decent
a burying as I can.

1072
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:43,680
Leastways,

1073
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:47,200
better than any he had a right to.

1074
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,319
You're bleeding.

1075
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,399
It's nowt.

1076
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:54,559
Let me see.

1077
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:56,265
If I do not staunch your bleeding,

1078
01:13:56,266 --> 01:13:58,120
how far do you
imagine we will get?

1079
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,279
See? It's nowt.

1080
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,399
Nonetheless, it must be
cleaned and dressed.

1081
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:08,719
- Your shirt?
- What?

1082
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:10,640
If you please.

1083
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:22,960
Bloody hell.

1084
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:33,920
From my wife's mum.

1085
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:38,839
The one you spoke of?

1086
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:40,800
Teresa?

1087
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,959
Teresa, aye.

1088
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:45,840
You had a daughter, you said?

1089
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:48,800
Aye.

1090
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:55,960
There.

1091
01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:59,319
Antonia.

1092
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,280
That's her likeness.

1093
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:04,679
Pretty girl.

1094
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:06,679
Aye.

1095
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:08,640
Happen she took after her mother.

1096
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:11,680
And where is she now?

1097
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:14,799
With Teresa's family.

1098
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:16,720
Somewhere.

1099
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:20,160
I can't hope to look for her.

1100
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:23,239
Not in the army.

1101
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:25,640
Army is no place to raise a child.

1102
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,079
The light is failing.

1103
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,119
We'll make no more ground today.

1104
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:35,159
Wormwood, pitch camp.

1105
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,080
Pitch camp.

1106
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,199
Deever,

1107
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,200
you take first picket, two
hours on, two hours off.

1108
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,679
You have been all my happiness.

1109
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:57,759
And a joy...

1110
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:59,839
far beyond my deserving.

1111
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:01,959
Hsst now.

1112
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:03,840
Hsst.

1113
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:08,880
You'll start my eyes watering
with all your flattering.

1114
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,039
Stout heart, my girl.

1115
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:13,920
Stout heart.

1116
01:16:22,440 --> 01:16:24,320
You've not ate owt, madam.

1117
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:28,119
I'm not hungry.

1118
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:31,560
You should eat all the same.
Keep your strength up.

1119
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,479
Things will look
brighter, come morning.

1120
01:16:37,480 --> 01:16:41,160
I will forget I killed
my fiance, do you mean?

1121
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:44,480
Here now, here, come on.

1122
01:16:46,480 --> 01:16:49,240
It were either him or me.
And I'm glad it weren't me.

1123
01:16:50,440 --> 01:16:53,760
If it's any comfort, he got no
more or less than he's deserving.

1124
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:57,920
But have you killed many men?

1125
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:05,239
Did they deserve it?

1126
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:07,160
Some.

1127
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:10,999
But most were just poor soldiers

1128
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,439
who happened to wear a
different uniform from me.

1129
01:17:13,440 --> 01:17:15,479
But in a just cause?

1130
01:17:15,480 --> 01:17:18,039
I'm not sure I ever heard of one.

1131
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:21,079
War is the business
of kings, Miss.

1132
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:23,239
Kings and governments.

1133
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,399
And however they dress
it, in the end,

1134
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:28,119
the whys and the wherefores
come down to one thing.

1135
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:30,000
Loot, booty, treasure.

1136
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,480
Us soldiers...

1137
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,000
we just do the dying for them.

1138
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:43,599
So nobody saw him go?

1139
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:45,719
Well, I saw a fellow head off,

1140
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,880
that took him on some
post-culinary business.

1141
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:54,600
Mr Beauclere, you will
take the company on.

1142
01:17:57,240 --> 01:17:59,160
Mr Harper.

1143
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,359
You will forgive me, sir, but
the column needs you here.

1144
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:05,439
Major Tredinnick is my officer.

1145
01:18:05,440 --> 01:18:07,360
I will find him.

1146
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:43,399
You may kill me, Count,

1147
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:47,200
but if by God's good grace,
Colonel Sharpe still lives,

1148
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:51,879
upon his steel shall you
answer for your offences.

1149
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:53,959
Sharpe is dead.

1150
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:56,119
All your hope is in vain.

1151
01:18:56,120 --> 01:19:00,079
However, tell me where the rest
of your party can be found.

1152
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,159
I may yet spare your life.

1153
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:04,080
Betrayal is your creed.

1154
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:07,680
Not mine.

1155
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:10,720
You're a brave man.

1156
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:18,839
You see, madam?

1157
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:21,239
I told you all would
look better by morning.

1158
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,399
We've come up on the track.

1159
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:26,440
A few hours riding should
see us back to the column.

1160
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:38,079
Major, sahib.

1161
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,000
Major, sahib...

1162
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:44,720
Singh...

1163
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:48,559
You must tell...

1164
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:51,280
Mr Harper, tell him...

1165
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:54,800
Colonel Sharpe is dead.

1166
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:57,800
I heard the news off Dragomirov.

1167
01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:03,200
Look to my wife.

1168
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:06,639
See her...

1169
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:08,719
safe through.

1170
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:10,640
Safe through...

1171
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:14,959
No harm will touch
her while I breathe.

1172
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:16,880
I swear.

1173
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,799
Those were the Major's words.

1174
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:32,520
I'm sorry to bear no
better tidings, sir.

1175
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:48,960
No.

1176
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:53,040
Speak me no speeches,
Lance-Naik Singh.

1177
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:58,199
By and by, I will hear all
that there is to be heard,

1178
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:02,399
but just... just grant me
a few private moments,

1179
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,719
just to gather myself.

1180
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:06,680
I beg you.

1181
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:12,440
Philippe was
garrisoned for a short

1182
01:21:12,441 --> 01:21:14,040
while upon the lie-de-France.

1183
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:17,359
My father liked to gamble

1184
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:19,400
and when he could not
cover his debts...

1185
01:21:22,480 --> 01:21:24,679
Won you at cards?

1186
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:27,919
An unusual way to find a
husband, I grant, but...

1187
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:30,959
I wasn't going to do any better.

1188
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:33,359
A shrewish reputation
does not encourage

1189
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:35,519
eligible suitors
to a woman's door.

1190
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:37,519
Headstrong maybe.

1191
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:39,480
But shrewish? Nah.

1192
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:42,639
I would not call you that.

1193
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:44,639
You called me worse.

1194
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:47,639
Spoiled, petulant, selfish...

1195
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:49,719
Ah.

1196
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:51,600
And yet you came after me.

1197
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:56,240
I made a promise with
Viscount Sedgefield.

1198
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,280
Do you always keep your...

1199
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:09,599
Colonel Sharpe.
Mademoiselle Bonnet.

1200
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:12,399
Unless I'm mistaken, with
Major Joubert's horse.

1201
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,559
No foolish heroism, please.

1202
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:17,000
Lay down your arms and
you'll be treated fairly.

1203
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,439
Our field headquarters.

1204
01:22:41,440 --> 01:22:45,400
A finer billet than any other
Company barracks, is it not?

1205
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,839
- Take her to her quarters.
- I will stay with Colonel Sharpe.

1206
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:51,879
You will do as you are bid.

1207
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:53,879
There are some matters which lie

1208
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,599
between the Colonel and
myself we must resolve.

1209
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:59,679
The ladies of the palace will
see you have all you require.

1210
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:01,639
Richard...

1211
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:04,040
It's all right, madam,
you'll be safe enough.

1212
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,319
A fine piece.

1213
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:10,919
But I think a little
headstrong, is she not?

1214
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:12,919
She knows her own mind.

1215
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:15,079
A habit,

1216
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:19,080
in my experience, as unwelcome
in a woman as it is in a horse.

1217
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:31,120
Will you take a dish
of tea, Mr Harper?

1218
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,439
When low on spirits, my Robert,

1219
01:23:34,440 --> 01:23:36,560
he always took a dish
to be restorative.

1220
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:40,080
I will, madam. Thank you, madam.

1221
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,399
We've made some good
progress this morning.

1222
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:51,479
Have we not?

1223
01:23:51,480 --> 01:23:54,040
We've done as well
as we may, madam.

1224
01:23:57,640 --> 01:23:59,719
But enough...

1225
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:01,719
would you think?

1226
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:04,599
To put us beyond the reach of...

1227
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:06,520
of that man?

1228
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:12,000
I hope so, madam.

1229
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:14,999
I really hope so.

1230
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,799
So, here you see my manufactory.

1231
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:20,799
This is where the raw juice
of the poppy is prepared.

1232
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,839
Dried

1233
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,000
and shaped into these cakes.

1234
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:30,119
The work does not
take great skill.

1235
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:33,960
But it requires some attention
on the part of the worker.

1236
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,159
Purity is all.

1237
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:39,105
A moment's inattention
and the whole

1238
01:24:39,106 --> 01:24:40,840
batch may be ruined past saving.

1239
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:44,600
This fellow here for example.

1240
01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:49,080
His daydreaming has
already cost me dearly.

1241
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:54,520
Do you know how much opium
China imports, Colonel Sharpe?

1242
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:59,040
Some 20,000 to 30,000
chests a year.

1243
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:02,439
A year.

1244
01:25:02,440 --> 01:25:07,079
I have from this season
alone already 1,100 chests.

1245
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:11,639
And the raw material for
some 800 or 900 more.

1246
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:15,000
�35 a chest.

1247
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:18,319
�70,000.

1248
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,359
With so much at stake,

1249
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:22,439
do you truly suppose that I intend

1250
01:25:22,440 --> 01:25:24,440
to allow your friends
to make Calcutta?

1251
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:28,599
Yet, I will strike a
bargain with you.

1252
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:31,679
Save me the inconvenience
of hunting them down

1253
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:33,759
and I will spare them.

1254
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:35,919
They will be my guests here

1255
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,639
until what business I have
in India is concluded.

1256
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:40,679
Thereafter,

1257
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:42,719
they will be set free.

1258
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:44,839
You have my word.

1259
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:46,880
I've heard benefit
of your word before.

1260
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:58,439
Meantime...

1261
01:25:58,440 --> 01:26:02,360
I advise you to spend the rest
of the day in consideration.

1262
01:26:11,980 --> 01:26:13,900
[SPEAKS NATIVE TONGUE]

1263
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:16,639
Argh.

1264
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:18,560
With or without your help...

1265
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:21,879
be assured, Colonel,

1266
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:23,880
I shall find the rest
of your company.

1267
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:31,279
Mr Harper, the men
are of the opinion

1268
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,320
we should parlay with
Count Dragomirov.

1269
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:37,959
What measure of mercy are
the men hoping to receive?

1270
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:41,199
The same as we got off
Dragomirov at the river?

1271
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:43,279
The same as Major Tredinnick?

1272
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:45,359
We're for Calcutta.

1273
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:47,999
You go back to your section
and you tell them so.

1274
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:50,159
This is a fool's errand.

1275
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:53,279
And damned fools be we
for following Sharpe.

1276
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:56,359
That'd be Colonel Sharpe
to you, Wormwood.

1277
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:59,279
Colonel or no, he's gone.
You'll not see him again.

1278
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,400
For all his high cockalorum,
good riddance to the bastard.

1279
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:06,719
You keep your tongue
behind your teeth.

1280
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:09,200
As you were, you sons of whores.

1281
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:13,520
Attend me now.

1282
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:18,959
If there is any man here
who wants to turn back

1283
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:20,999
and seek quarter with Dragomirov,

1284
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,159
then he should step forward.

1285
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:27,559
And I will gladly argue
the same point with him.

1286
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,879
So get this into
your thick skulls.

1287
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:33,039
We, all of us,

1288
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:36,640
know far too much about
Dragomirov to be allowed to live.

1289
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:40,399
Now get him on his feet.

1290
01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:42,599
And let's go to... Argh.

1291
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:46,279
Mr Harper. Sergeant
Harper, what's wrong?

1292
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:48,879
Stones, inside, stones.

1293
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:50,999
- It must be cut from him.
- No, no cutting.

1294
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:52,920
There's another way.

1295
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:28,679
Ah, Mademoiselle Bonnet.

1296
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:30,759
What a picture you are.

1297
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:32,680
Please.

1298
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:37,000
You all right, lass?

1299
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:40,800
You will take wine?

1300
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:43,840
A sherbet water perhaps, then?

1301
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:51,760
When I leave this country,
Colonel, I will do as a rich man.

1302
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:54,959
You could do the same.

1303
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:56,999
In Major Joubert,

1304
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,880
you have robbed me
of a useful ally.

1305
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:01,920
And I must find a replacement.

1306
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:07,379
- Me?
- Why not?

1307
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:09,679
You have served the
best years of your life

1308
01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:11,479
in the service of a mad, old king

1309
01:29:11,480 --> 01:29:14,159
and a country which knows you not.

1310
01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:16,199
To what reward?

1311
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:18,120
Rank?

1312
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:22,360
The grudgeful tolerations
of your betters?

1313
01:29:25,440 --> 01:29:27,599
Ah, now this fellow
you should enjoy.

1314
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:31,119
For which he will require the
assistance of a beautiful woman.

1315
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:34,000
Mademoiselle, if you
would be so good.

1316
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:49,600
He wishes for you to
stand upon him, my dear.

1317
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:18,879
Madam? Richard.

1318
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:21,520
Wine... will revive her.

1319
01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:26,160
I'm quite sincere, Colonel.

1320
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:29,999
A soldier of your
resourcefulness and renown

1321
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,639
would be an asset
to my enterprise.

1322
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:34,560
I'm a soldier.

1323
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:37,639
Not a murderer.

1324
01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:39,560
And what is soldiering, Colonel?

1325
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:42,759
But legal murder.

1326
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:44,680
Huh?

1327
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:49,159
I can see you are still reluctant

1328
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,120
to tell me where I might
find your fellows.

1329
01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:55,839
I can understand you
might be stubborn enough

1330
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:58,160
to allow yourself to suffer.

1331
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:03,280
But Miss Bonnet?

1332
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:14,439
Believe me,

1333
01:31:14,440 --> 01:31:17,679
in her present state, she will
do exactly as they please.

1334
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:21,520
The sherbet water, Colonel,
was laced with opium.

1335
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:24,559
All right.

1336
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:26,439
All right, damn you.

1337
01:31:26,440 --> 01:31:28,360
Where are they?

1338
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:31,239
I'll take you to them.

1339
01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:33,239
Just tell me where
they are to be found.

1340
01:31:33,240 --> 01:31:35,520
You must let me negotiate terms.

1341
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:41,159
Patrick Harper won't
surrender to anybody but me.

1342
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:43,040
Argh.

1343
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:56,919
All right, all right.

1344
01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:58,919
Let him rest a while.

1345
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:00,999
Take your ease, sahib.

1346
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:02,999
You're killing him.

1347
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,079
It is the stone that
is killing him.

1348
01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:07,239
It must be passed or he will die.

1349
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:09,560
- It'll burst his heart.
- Yet it must be tried.

1350
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:12,799
Mr Harper, sahib,

1351
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:14,720
once more if you will.

1352
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:22,879
What good do you think
I'll do you dead?

1353
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:25,039
Ach, you'll be safe enough.

1354
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:29,640
Provided you don't give the
serpents cause to strike.

1355
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:33,840
I wish you an uncomfortable night.

1356
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:01,480
Enough music now.

1357
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:06,160
Leave off your goddamn
caterwauling.

1358
01:33:29,480 --> 01:33:32,720
- See her to her quarters.
- Yes, sahib.

1359
01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:33,839
Madam. Madam.

1360
01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:35,839
Come on.

1361
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:38,039
Come on, lass.

1362
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:39,920
It's time we were
gone from this place.

1363
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,320
Water, sahib?

1364
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:01,759
How are you this day?

1365
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:04,640
I must say you look much
improved for your labours.

1366
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:09,039
How did I get here? I've no
recollection of the journey.

1367
01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:12,079
We carried you, sahib. As you
have carried us all so far.

1368
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,079
And in such discomfort.

1369
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:16,159
Is it gone?

1370
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:18,159
You are rid of the stone, sahib.

1371
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:20,359
Thank you.

1372
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:23,279
All by your own effort.
No cutting was necessary.

1373
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:25,239
How?

1374
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:28,079
My grandfather was once
taken of the stones, sahib.

1375
01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:30,199
A wise man in the
village cured him

1376
01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:33,120
and imparted to me the secret
by which he was delivered.

1377
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:36,319
Indian magic.

1378
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:39,439
No, sahib. Indian medicine.

1379
01:35:39,440 --> 01:35:43,440
Really, sahib, the Europeans are
a very superstitious people.

1380
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:47,239
I suppose.

1381
01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:51,439
Do you hear that?

1382
01:35:51,440 --> 01:35:53,319
Horses.

1383
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:55,519
Company.

1384
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:57,560
Stand to. Stand to.

1385
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:17,319
I weren't expecting flags,

1386
01:36:17,320 --> 01:36:19,919
but I thought to find a
warmer welcome than this.

1387
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:22,039
Colonel Sharpe.

1388
01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:25,359
Alive. By God, sir, we
had took you to be lost.

1389
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:27,280
I don't understand, sir.

1390
01:36:28,480 --> 01:36:32,119
Lance-Naik Singh had it off Major
Tredinnick that you were dead.

1391
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:34,480
And why should Major
Tredinnick think so?

1392
01:36:37,400 --> 01:36:39,399
What?

1393
01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:41,320
Where is the Major?

1394
01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:51,279
I'm grieved to learn
of your loss, madam.

1395
01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:53,200
Truly.

1396
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:57,599
You are restored to us as my
husband would have wished.

1397
01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:00,280
In that there is comfort.
And not some little hope.

1398
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:05,560
The Major was as fine an
officer as I've met, madam.

1399
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:11,920
Thank you, Colonel.

1400
01:37:13,480 --> 01:37:15,320
For his part, I know,

1401
01:37:16,480 --> 01:37:18,360
he held you in like esteem.

1402
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:24,399
By all reports,

1403
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:27,359
it would seem that you have
struck a blow for our cause.

1404
01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:29,439
In that there is some justice.

1405
01:37:29,440 --> 01:37:31,519
In truth, madam,

1406
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:34,440
what justice he had were
of Miss Bonnet's doing.

1407
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:39,640
Well, I will give her my thanks.

1408
01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:01,999
God, Richard, you gave
us a rare fright.

1409
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:03,920
Best get moving.

1410
01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:07,680
Pat.

1411
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:32,520
An hour, would you say?

1412
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:37,960
Less.

1413
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:46,199
Watch it, lads. Look out.

1414
01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:48,120
Look out.

1415
01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:51,200
How much powder have we got?

1416
01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:00,559
- When I draw my blade.
- You don't have to tell me twice.

1417
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:02,559
Not before. Understood?

1418
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:04,480
On your way, then.

1419
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:22,999
So...

1420
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:25,199
you have found your friends.

1421
01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:27,800
It was thoughtful of you
to lead me to them.

1422
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:32,399
I told you, I should hunt
you down, Colonel Sharpe.

1423
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:34,439
And here we are.

1424
01:39:34,440 --> 01:39:36,360
Turn your men about, Dragomirov.

1425
01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:40,919
Go back. While you've
still got a chance.

1426
01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:42,919
I offered you friendship,

1427
01:39:42,920 --> 01:39:45,119
a share of the spoils.

1428
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:49,239
What do you think you can
achieve? One sword against 50.

1429
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,320
Aye, one sword, but
warranted never to fail.

1430
01:39:53,480 --> 01:39:55,454
Come on, then, you
yellow bastards.

1431
01:39:55,455 --> 01:39:56,879
What are you waiting for?

1432

1433
01:39:59,040 --> 01:40:00,959
- I've shit them.
- No.

1434
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:03,039
It's too easy.

1435
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:05,039
Wait, you fools, rein in.

1436
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:07,160
Rein in.

1437

Clear the way, Goddamn
you, clear the way.

1438
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:37,119
Get it cleared.

1439
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:40,400
Send out a scouting party, see
if there is another way around.

Sir.

1444
01:41:05,640 --> 01:41:08,719
Take a couple of Company
troops and find the head man.

1445
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:11,239
Have him understand we
intend him no injury.

1446
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:14,319
We wish only to resupply. All
and any goods to be paid for.

1447
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:16,280
Sir.

1448
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:19,399
Take what rest you can.

1449
01:41:19,400 --> 01:41:21,399
We must be on our
way again shortly.

1450
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:23,479
Our way, Colonel?

1451
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:25,400
But this is my mission.

1452
01:41:26,560 --> 01:41:29,279
If Dragomirov finds you
here, he'll kill you.

1453
01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:32,999
He must do what he
must do. As shall I.

You'll do as you're damn
well told. Reverend.

You'll do as I damn well say. Or
you'll find yourself on a charge.

It's all right, Private Deever.

She can bide with me.

1469

I'll find some women of the
village to look to her.

How soon? Richard, the child
is the wrong way about.

Ah, but you can help?

1477
01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:04,959
I don't know. I have helped
deliver a child before,

1478

but not like this.

What if it doesn't?

1481
01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:13,119
It will be a difficult time.

1482
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:15,119
In either case, she
cannot be moved.

1483
01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:17,080
Argh.

quick as you can ?

- Is she sure?
- Aye.

1489
01:43:36,360 --> 01:43:38,559
Well, that's that, then.

1490
01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:41,520
Come on. Let's have a
turn about the place.

1491
01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:09,040
It isn't much, Pat, but
it will have to serve.

1492
01:44:10,120 --> 01:44:12,319
We can hardly press on now.

1493
01:44:12,320 --> 01:44:14,519
It'd be a real pity to
falter at the last.

1494
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:18,199
You do know the next garrison
is only a two-day hard march?

1495
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:20,319
We haven't got two days.

1496
01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:23,320
Like as not, Dragomirov
will be upon us tomorrow.

1497
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:26,439
It's here or nowhere.

1498
01:44:26,440 --> 01:44:28,439
It's as fine a place as any.

1499
01:44:28,440 --> 01:44:30,519
But I had hoped to
see Ramona again.

1500
01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:33,519
And shall, Pat. And shall.

1501
01:44:33,520 --> 01:44:36,359
I suppose we've soldiered
long enough and hard enough

for you to not start
lying to me now.

1503
01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:41,439
But Dragomirov's troopers
are well seasoned.

1504

And what's more, they
outnumber us six to one.

01:50:05,910 --> 01:50:08,110
Aye. It's that.

1593
01:50:09,430 --> 01:50:11,549
Been long a soldier,
Private Deever?

1594
01:50:11,550 --> 01:50:13,470
Nine years, sir.

1595
01:50:16,790 --> 01:50:18,670
What did you do before that?

1596
01:50:19,830 --> 01:50:21,909
Nothing, sir.

1597
01:50:21,910 --> 01:50:23,989
The army is all I know.

1598
01:50:23,990 --> 01:50:26,950
See, my Grampus fought for
the British at Lexington.

1599
01:50:28,110 --> 01:50:30,149
I'll be damned.

1600
01:50:30,150 --> 01:50:32,310
How my family come
to England, sir.

1601
01:50:34,150 --> 01:50:37,150
And there's been a Deever in
service to His Majesty ever since.

1602
01:50:40,030 --> 01:50:41,950
Sir.

1603
01:50:47,150 --> 01:50:49,110
For the child, sir.

1604
01:50:50,230 --> 01:50:52,269
It ain't much, but it's all I own.

1605
01:50:52,270 --> 01:50:54,150
If...

1606
01:50:57,670 --> 01:51:00,030
I'll fight easier knowing
she's took care of.

1607
01:51:03,190 --> 01:51:05,070
I'll just hold onto
it for you, Dan.

1608
01:51:07,750 --> 01:51:09,670
Till after the battle.

1609
01:51:17,590 --> 01:51:19,589
What's to do, Colour?

1610
01:51:19,590 --> 01:51:21,669
To do?

1611
01:51:21,670 --> 01:51:23,829
To do...

1612
01:51:23,830 --> 01:51:25,989
You must flee, man,
that's what to do.

1613
01:51:25,990 --> 01:51:28,510
- Flee?
- Sharpe wants to kill you.

1614
01:51:29,590 --> 01:51:31,549
That can't be.

1615
01:51:31,550 --> 01:51:34,789
I just heard him talking with
that slack-bellied Irishman.

1616
01:51:34,790 --> 01:51:36,949
I'm not taking any
chances, says he.

1617
01:51:36,950 --> 01:51:39,149
Ye are to hang before
the battle, says he.

1618
01:51:39,150 --> 01:51:41,149
I don't understand.

1619
01:51:41,150 --> 01:51:43,229
What is to understand?

1620
01:51:43,230 --> 01:51:45,389
I'll not have murder done.

1621
01:51:45,390 --> 01:51:48,309
Not to my brave boy. Not while
you are in my charge, no.

1622
01:51:48,310 --> 01:51:50,429
By God, I'd sooner swing for it.

1623
01:51:50,430 --> 01:51:52,989
- But where shall I go?
- I've set you a mount.

1624
01:51:52,990 --> 01:51:54,910
Behind the byre yonder.

1625
01:51:55,990 --> 01:51:57,989
Get as far away as you can, lad.

1626
01:51:57,990 --> 01:52:00,189
And don't stop riding.

1627
01:52:00,190 --> 01:52:02,629
And don't never come near
no redcoats no more.

1628
01:52:02,630 --> 01:52:04,669
Else the army will have your neck.

1629
01:52:04,670 --> 01:52:06,709
Go now.

1630
01:52:06,710 --> 01:52:08,590
Go.

1631
01:52:10,550 --> 01:52:12,629
All quiet?

1632
01:52:12,630 --> 01:52:14,550
All quiet, sir.

1633
01:52:17,070 --> 01:52:20,310
It's a bloody miracle you worked
with this cannon, Lance-Naik.

1634
01:52:21,470 --> 01:52:23,629
I was taught of a
great engineer, sir.

1635
01:52:23,630 --> 01:52:25,789
From him I learnt
there is no problem,

1636
01:52:25,790 --> 01:52:27,697
however so great it first appears,

1637
01:52:27,698 --> 01:52:29,829
to which the answer
cannot be found.

1638
01:52:29,830 --> 01:52:33,190
- You liked him?
- He was my officer, sir.

1639
01:52:36,950 --> 01:52:38,949
It's gonna be hot work tomorrow.

1640
01:52:38,950 --> 01:52:41,029
No doubt, sir.

1641
01:52:41,030 --> 01:52:42,950
Your position must hold.

1642
01:52:45,150 --> 01:52:47,070
Yes, sir.

1643
01:52:51,590 --> 01:52:53,629
Sir.

1644
01:52:53,630 --> 01:52:55,669
If I may ask.

1645
01:52:55,670 --> 01:52:57,590
How fares the memsahib?

1646
01:52:58,710 --> 01:53:00,709
She's in the best of care.

1647
01:53:00,710 --> 01:53:02,789
Miss Bonnet is doing all she can.

1648
01:53:02,790 --> 01:53:04,789
I made the Major sahib a promise.

1649
01:53:04,790 --> 01:53:06,710
That no harm would befall her.

1650
01:53:08,070 --> 01:53:10,470
You'll best serve her
by holding your post.

1651
01:53:12,630 --> 01:53:15,110
Guards. Guards. The
prisoner has escaped.

1652
01:53:17,190 --> 01:53:19,269
Corporal Hakeswill has gone, sir.

1653
01:53:19,270 --> 01:53:21,829
Turned loose all the horses
and left not a one behind.

1654
01:53:21,830 --> 01:53:23,750
And you said I had him wrong?

1655
01:53:24,950 --> 01:53:26,809
I knew the bastard
weren't to be trusted.

1656
01:53:26,810 --> 01:53:27,829
Sir...

1657
01:53:27,830 --> 01:53:29,829
I don't want to hear it, Pat.

1658
01:53:29,830 --> 01:53:32,669
For all we know, he'll find
Dragomirov and sell us to him.

1659
01:53:32,670 --> 01:53:34,829
We might get him back, sir.

1660
01:53:34,830 --> 01:53:37,149
Colour Wormwood has
rode out after him.

1661
01:53:37,150 --> 01:53:39,069
- Rode out?
- Yeah.

1662
01:53:39,070 --> 01:53:40,789
And how's that?

1663
01:53:40,790 --> 01:53:43,909
When Corporal Hakeswill has
turned all the horses loose?

1664
01:53:43,910 --> 01:53:45,949
I don't know, sir, but he did.

1665
01:53:45,950 --> 01:53:48,109
All right, Deever.

1666
01:53:48,110 --> 01:53:49,910
- Back to your post.
- Sir.

1667
01:54:24,870 --> 01:54:27,029
Will you hear us
confession, Reverend?

1668
01:54:27,030 --> 01:54:29,069
Confession?

1669
01:54:29,070 --> 01:54:31,789
He can't take confession, Croop.

1670
01:54:31,790 --> 01:54:33,909
No, Private Quilter,
you are mistaken.

1671
01:54:33,910 --> 01:54:35,829
Confession is sanctioned

1672
01:54:35,830 --> 01:54:38,109
in The Order for the
Visitation of the Sick.

1673
01:54:38,110 --> 01:54:40,189
See.

1674
01:54:40,190 --> 01:54:42,110
What did you want
to tell me about?

1675
01:54:43,790 --> 01:54:45,829
We is bad men, sir.

1676
01:54:45,830 --> 01:54:47,750
Go on.

1677
01:54:49,150 --> 01:54:51,149
Very bad men, sir.

1678
01:54:51,150 --> 01:54:53,070
Is that all?

1679
01:54:54,190 --> 01:54:56,269
No, sir.

1680
01:54:56,270 --> 01:54:58,269
It's the...

1681
01:54:58,270 --> 01:55:00,469
Tell him.

1682
01:55:00,470 --> 01:55:03,869
The crime of which Corporal
Hakeswill stands accused, sir...

1683
01:55:03,870 --> 01:55:05,869
He never done it, sir.

1684
01:55:05,870 --> 01:55:08,069
It was Colour Wormwood, sir.

1685
01:55:08,070 --> 01:55:09,082
How do you know this?

1686
01:55:09,083 --> 01:55:10,709
Because we helped him do it, sir.

1687
01:55:10,710 --> 01:55:12,949
Not the killing, sir.
That was his alone.

1688
01:55:12,950 --> 01:55:15,469
But the robbing, sir, that we did.

1689
01:55:15,470 --> 01:55:18,030
Now the bastard has run off
and left us to it, sir.

1690
01:55:23,230 --> 01:55:25,910
If we is bound for glory...

1691
01:55:27,270 --> 01:55:29,389
and anyone else survives,

1692
01:55:29,390 --> 01:55:32,469
they could speak on our part
at the court martial, sir.

1693
01:55:32,470 --> 01:55:35,469
Else we thought you could
take a deposition of us, sir.

1694
01:55:35,470 --> 01:55:37,870
That we could put our mark to.

1695
01:55:49,390 --> 01:55:51,429
Who in God's name, are you?

1696
01:55:51,430 --> 01:55:53,469
Colour Wormwood, sir.

1697
01:55:53,470 --> 01:55:55,509
At your service.

1698
01:55:55,510 --> 01:55:57,669
My service?

1699
01:55:57,670 --> 01:56:00,589
You're searching for Colonel
Sharpe, are you not?

1700
01:56:00,590 --> 01:56:02,709
I'll tell you all you
needs to know, sir.

1701
01:56:02,710 --> 01:56:04,749
How his forces are deployed.

1702
01:56:04,750 --> 01:56:06,670
Where his defence is weakest.

1703
01:56:08,630 --> 01:56:11,749
And what would you have in
return for this service?

1704
01:56:11,750 --> 01:56:13,749
Wormwood. Bastard.

1705
01:56:13,750 --> 01:56:15,670
Bastard.

1706
01:56:17,790 --> 01:56:19,789
We're well shot of him.

1707
01:56:19,790 --> 01:56:21,749
Aye, but with Barabbas gone,

1708
01:56:21,750 --> 01:56:24,150
we're two men short before
we've even started.

1709
01:57:01,510 --> 01:57:04,510
Richard bloody Sharpe.

1710
01:57:07,150 --> 01:57:09,589
Well, make your damn
report, if you please.

1711
01:57:09,590 --> 01:57:12,229
Well? I'm waiting.

1712
01:57:12,230 --> 01:57:14,309
Everything is as
you disposed, sir.

1713
01:57:14,310 --> 01:57:16,749
You will recall that
you have elected

1714
01:57:16,750 --> 01:57:19,190
to defend the western
flank of the village.

1715
01:57:20,590 --> 01:57:22,749
Sir Henry.

1716
01:57:22,750 --> 01:57:24,989
If you are ready, we
should get to our post.

1717
01:57:24,990 --> 01:57:28,069
Sir Henry? Sir Henry?

1718
01:57:28,070 --> 01:57:33,509
And who are you, sir, to address
me in such familiar terms?

1719
01:57:33,510 --> 01:57:37,950
This is the Field Marshal
Lord Chitu, sir.

1720
01:57:39,070 --> 01:57:40,990
Field Marshal?

1721
01:57:42,390 --> 01:57:44,310
Your servant, my Lord, of course.

1722
01:57:50,950 --> 01:57:54,029
By Jesus, this is some
army we've put together.

1723
01:57:54,030 --> 01:57:56,789
Shirkers and bedlamites.

1724
01:57:56,790 --> 01:57:58,789
The halt and the mad.

1725
01:57:58,790 --> 01:58:00,829
Do we begin, sir?

1726
01:58:00,830 --> 01:58:03,389
All in good time, Colour Wormwood.

1727
01:58:03,390 --> 01:58:05,749
Let them see us first.

1728
01:58:05,750 --> 01:58:07,829
And despair.

1729
01:58:07,830 --> 01:58:09,909
Sir.

1730
01:58:09,910 --> 01:58:11,830
I must speak with you.

1731
01:58:12,950 --> 01:58:14,830
Can it not wait, Mr Beauclere?

1732
01:58:16,390 --> 01:58:18,310
Very well, but make it quick.

1733
01:58:21,150 --> 01:58:23,070
Come away, then.

1734
01:58:28,830 --> 01:58:31,029
I have not yet been
assigned a position.

1735
01:58:31,030 --> 01:58:33,189
My men have their orders.

1736
01:58:33,190 --> 01:58:36,309
Lance-Naik Singh has his orders.
Even General Simmerson...

1737
01:58:36,310 --> 01:58:38,510
- Mr Beauclere...
- I must know, sir.

1738
01:58:39,990 --> 01:58:41,910
Is it because of my father?

1739
01:58:43,790 --> 01:58:45,670
I thought you must have...

1740
01:58:49,990 --> 01:58:51,910
He did not fall as I have said.

1741
01:58:53,190 --> 01:58:55,789
He did not storm the breach.

1742
01:58:55,790 --> 01:58:57,829
Nor capture the Marshal's baton.

1743
01:58:57,830 --> 01:58:59,790
But rather...

1744
01:59:01,310 --> 01:59:03,390
he died as Colour
Wormwood reported.

1745
01:59:04,510 --> 01:59:06,549
You are not your father.

1746
01:59:06,550 --> 01:59:08,589
No, sir.

1747
01:59:08,590 --> 01:59:10,470
But I look very alike.

1748
01:59:12,150 --> 01:59:14,030
At least my mother says.

1749
01:59:16,830 --> 01:59:18,848
How a man counts
upon the eye, Mr...

1750
01:59:18,849 --> 01:59:21,110
Beauclere, means
less than nothing.

1751
01:59:22,270 --> 01:59:24,270
It's what's in his
heart that matters.

1752
01:59:25,470 --> 01:59:27,949
Which is why the most
important job of all

1753
01:59:27,950 --> 01:59:30,029
I kept for you.

1754
01:59:30,030 --> 01:59:32,149
For me, sir?

1755
01:59:32,150 --> 01:59:34,669
Who else would I entrust
to defend the mission,

1756
01:59:34,670 --> 01:59:36,590
and give protection to the ladies?

1757
01:59:37,710 --> 01:59:39,709
Get to it now.

1758
01:59:39,710 --> 01:59:41,630
Aye, sir.

1759
01:59:47,630 --> 01:59:50,109
A few words from yourself
wouldn't go amiss.

1760
01:59:50,110 --> 01:59:52,230
Maybe steady the lads' nerves.

1761
01:59:55,390 --> 01:59:57,310
Aye.

1762
01:59:58,390 --> 02:00:00,310
Company. Take heed.

1763
02:00:02,710 --> 02:00:04,989
I know the buggers look smart.

1764
02:00:04,990 --> 02:00:07,149
But take it from me,

1765
02:00:07,150 --> 02:00:10,110
that's all they are,
strutting peacocks.

1766
02:00:11,230 --> 02:00:13,389
At the Battle of Waterloo,

1767
02:00:13,390 --> 02:00:16,669
the South Essex
Regiment stood all day.

1768
02:00:16,670 --> 02:00:19,149
They beat off two
brigades of cavalry,

1769
02:00:19,150 --> 02:00:21,630
and Bonaparte's Imperial Guard.

1770
02:00:22,870 --> 02:00:25,150
All you have to do is stand.

1771
02:00:26,270 --> 02:00:28,950
Stand. Let the cavalry come on.

1772
02:00:30,030 --> 02:00:32,829
Stand. Hold fire...

1773
02:00:32,830 --> 02:00:36,630
until the horses are
within ten paces.

1774
02:00:37,990 --> 02:00:39,989
Stand

1775
02:00:39,990 --> 02:00:41,950
and the day will be ours.

1776
02:00:42,830 --> 02:00:44,789
? Trust in the... Sharpe ?

1777
02:00:44,790 --> 02:00:46,789
Colonel Sharpe, sir.

1778
02:00:46,790 --> 02:00:48,869
? Ever more painful ?

1779
02:00:48,870 --> 02:00:50,869
? Ever more sure ?

1780
02:00:50,870 --> 02:00:54,109
Watkin. Get out of there.

1781
02:00:54,110 --> 02:00:57,430
Brothers, brothers,
lay down your arms.

1782
02:00:58,550 --> 02:01:00,709
Today is the Sabbath.

1783
02:01:00,710 --> 02:01:04,149
To spill blood this
day would be impious.

1784
02:01:04,150 --> 02:01:07,989
- The Sabbath, you say?
- Aye, sir. Aye.

1785
02:01:07,990 --> 02:01:12,630
Then you of any should know God
does not work upon a Sunday.

1786
02:01:17,190 --> 02:01:19,110
Bastard.

1787
02:01:21,830 --> 02:01:23,750
Take cover.

1788
02:01:30,990 --> 02:01:33,070
Get them barricades back.

1789
02:01:39,150 --> 02:01:41,550
Stand, you buggers. Stand.

1790
02:01:43,150 --> 02:01:45,070
Present.

1791
02:01:47,550 --> 02:01:49,549
Fire.

1792
02:01:49,550 --> 02:01:51,510
Fire.

1793
02:02:52,990 --> 02:02:54,989
Oh, my.

1794
02:02:54,990 --> 02:02:57,069
Oh, my...

1795
02:02:57,070 --> 02:02:59,269
I believe I am killed, madam.

1796
02:02:59,270 --> 02:03:01,269
Fall back. I do my duty.

1797
02:03:01,270 --> 02:03:04,749
Duty? The officer gave orders
that I must hold my position.

1798
02:03:04,750 --> 02:03:06,829
Well, then...

1799
02:03:06,830 --> 02:03:09,030
I guess if you can do it, I can.

1800
02:03:43,630 --> 02:03:45,629
Just my f...

1801
02:03:45,630 --> 02:03:47,550
luck.

1802
02:03:51,630 --> 02:03:54,110
Another round. Quickly.
That's the last of it.

1803
02:03:55,230 --> 02:03:57,309
The position is lost.

1804
02:03:57,310 --> 02:03:59,349
Go back to the mission.

1805
02:03:59,350 --> 02:04:01,509
They will have need of you.

1806
02:04:01,510 --> 02:04:03,350
I shall hold the east
as long as I may.

1807
02:04:09,150 --> 02:04:11,229
To me. Fall back.

1808
02:04:11,230 --> 02:04:13,150
Fall back.

1809
02:04:20,790 --> 02:04:22,869
Barabbas?

1810
02:04:22,870 --> 02:04:24,750
Into them. Get into them.

1811
02:04:32,030 --> 02:04:34,136
By God, man, you cut that fine.

1812
02:04:34,137 --> 02:04:36,709
Two days of riding
in one night, sir.

1813
02:04:36,710 --> 02:04:38,670
No sight were ever more welcome.

1814
02:04:47,990 --> 02:04:49,989
Colour?

1815
02:04:49,990 --> 02:04:51,910
Private Quilter.

1816
02:05:00,590 --> 02:05:03,109
You just did a poor
fool, Wormwood.

1817
02:05:03,110 --> 02:05:04,990
But now you'll have
to deal with a man.

1818
02:05:36,110 --> 02:05:38,030
You bastard.

1819
02:05:58,590 --> 02:06:00,510
Ungh.

1820
02:06:19,150 --> 02:06:21,070
You've lost, Dragomirov.

1821
02:06:22,990 --> 02:06:24,870
For all your bloody squadron.

1822
02:06:25,990 --> 02:06:28,069
You've lost.

1823
02:06:28,070 --> 02:06:30,069
If I'm for hell, Sharpe,

1824
02:06:30,070 --> 02:06:31,990
then you are coming with me.

1825
02:07:27,350 --> 02:07:29,270
One blade, Dragomirov.

1826
02:07:31,830 --> 02:07:33,750
Warranted never to fail.

1827
02:07:52,390 --> 02:07:54,310
How stands the day, sir?

1828
02:07:57,270 --> 02:07:59,190
The day is ours.

1829
02:08:01,070 --> 02:08:03,069
Did I...

1830
02:08:03,070 --> 02:08:05,510
do my duty, sir?

1831
02:08:11,390 --> 02:08:13,310
Aye.

1832
02:08:16,390 --> 02:08:18,310
And more besides.

1833
02:08:21,030 --> 02:08:22,950
Will you write my mother, sir?

1834
02:08:24,910 --> 02:08:27,430
I would have her know our
name was not dismayed.

1835
02:08:30,590 --> 02:08:32,829
You will write and tell
her so yourself...

1836
02:08:32,830 --> 02:08:34,909
when you are able.

1837
02:08:34,910 --> 02:08:36,830
Miss Bonnet tells me I shall mend.

1838
02:08:39,270 --> 02:08:41,710
But blood demands
soldiers deal plain.

1839
02:08:44,550 --> 02:08:46,510
Am I to die, sir?

1840
02:08:53,150 --> 02:08:55,070
Might I then...

1841
02:08:56,190 --> 02:08:58,110
presume upon your hand, sir...

1842
02:08:59,710 --> 02:09:01,630
till the moment is passed.

1843
02:09:07,430 --> 02:09:09,469
It's been

1844
02:09:09,470 --> 02:09:12,029
the greatest honour of my life

1845
02:09:12,030 --> 02:09:13,910
to serve beside you.

1846
02:09:15,870 --> 02:09:17,949
The honour is mine.

1847
02:09:17,950 --> 02:09:19,949
Argh.

1848
02:09:19,950 --> 02:09:21,870
Easy. Easy, lad.

1849
02:09:25,950 --> 02:09:28,110
You might give him a kiss, madam.

1850
02:09:34,270 --> 02:09:36,750
? Here's 40 shillings
on the drum ?

1851
02:09:37,950 --> 02:09:40,110
? For those who'll
volunteer to come ?

1852
02:09:41,190 --> 02:09:43,630
? To list and fight
the foe today ?

1853
02:09:45,590 --> 02:09:48,990
? Over the hills and far away ?

1854
02:10:21,350 --> 02:10:23,429
He saved us.

1855
02:10:23,430 --> 02:10:25,350
When they came.

1856
02:10:36,270 --> 02:10:38,190
A girl.

1857
02:10:42,190 --> 02:10:44,110
A child of the storm.

1858
02:10:50,390 --> 02:10:52,670
A dozen he killed, a dozen.

1859
02:10:56,150 --> 02:10:58,309
Chitu.

1860
02:10:58,310 --> 02:11:01,189
Your Grace, Sharpe, Your
Grace. Damn your eyes, sir.

1861
02:11:01,190 --> 02:11:03,349
Have you no etiquette?

1862
02:11:03,350 --> 02:11:06,749
You address a peer of the realm.
Remember your place, sir.

1863
02:11:06,750 --> 02:11:09,429
With you restored to
your place, Sir Henry,

1864
02:11:09,430 --> 02:11:11,469
how could a man forget it?

1865
02:11:11,470 --> 02:11:13,910
You did it, Colonel Sharpe.

1866
02:11:15,550 --> 02:11:17,470
We did it.

1867
02:11:31,310 --> 02:11:34,309
I hope you're not intending
to go without saying goodbye.

1868
02:11:34,310 --> 02:11:36,629
A soldier is born to
farewells, Corporal.

1869
02:11:36,630 --> 02:11:40,109
It's to be Sergeant, sir. All
charges dropped and a promotion.

1870
02:11:40,110 --> 02:11:42,869
My compliments,
Sergeant Hakeswill.

1871
02:11:42,870 --> 02:11:46,070
That's enough, Sergeant. You
must come back to your bed now.

1872
02:11:47,270 --> 02:11:49,709
When a Princess says she
wants you back in bed,

1873
02:11:49,710 --> 02:11:51,670
you'd best step to, Sergeant.

1874
02:11:57,590 --> 02:11:59,629
Are you ready, then?

1875
02:11:59,630 --> 02:12:01,550
Aye.

1876
02:12:03,470 --> 02:12:05,390
Just give me a minute.

1877
02:12:32,990 --> 02:12:34,910
What will you do?

1878
02:12:36,310 --> 02:12:38,389
Go home.

1879
02:12:38,390 --> 02:12:40,389
And you?

1880
02:12:40,390 --> 02:12:42,469
I have a farm in Normandy.

1881
02:12:42,470 --> 02:12:44,469
In Normandy?

1882
02:12:44,470 --> 02:12:46,669
It's funny.

1883
02:12:46,670 --> 02:12:50,750
I was raised from a child
to hate all of you rosbif.

1884
02:12:52,270 --> 02:12:54,309
But you...

1885
02:12:54,310 --> 02:12:56,349
are a good man,

1886
02:12:56,350 --> 02:12:58,469
Colonel Sharpe.

1887
02:12:58,470 --> 02:13:01,189
For all you would have the
world think otherwise.

1888
02:13:01,190 --> 02:13:03,269
If you say so, madam.

1889
02:13:03,270 --> 02:13:05,309
Perhaps

1890
02:13:05,310 --> 02:13:07,230
one day I shall visit you.

1891
02:13:08,750 --> 02:13:10,670
I should like that.

1892
02:13:12,190 --> 02:13:14,110
Until then...

1893
02:13:16,190 --> 02:13:18,150
goodbye.

1894
02:13:35,750 --> 02:13:37,670
Leaving us, Sharpe?

1895
02:13:39,750 --> 02:13:41,670
The opium has been recovered.

1896
02:13:42,830 --> 02:13:45,309
The land restored to
peace. Job's done.

1897
02:13:45,310 --> 02:13:47,590
It would appear I owe you my life.

1898
02:13:48,710 --> 02:13:50,750
We all make mistakes, Sir Henry.

1899
02:13:55,990 --> 02:13:57,950
Quite so, quite so.

1900
02:13:59,510 --> 02:14:01,470
God speed you safe home...

1901
02:14:02,590 --> 02:14:04,510
Richard.

1902
02:14:18,310 --> 02:14:20,509
Well, I have now seen it all.

1903
02:14:20,510 --> 02:14:23,789
Simmerson calling you "Richard"
and shaking you by the hand.

1904
02:14:23,790 --> 02:14:25,949
I think I'd sooner
the bastard he were.

1905
02:14:25,950 --> 02:14:27,786
Aye, but if Simmerson can change

1906
02:14:27,787 --> 02:14:29,909
like that, there's
hope for us all.

1907
02:14:29,910 --> 02:14:32,909
Buggered if I'm changing.
There's nowt wrong with me.

1908
02:14:32,910 --> 02:14:34,909
Amen to that.

1909
02:14:34,910 --> 02:14:36,989
Amen to that. Are we for home?

1910
02:14:36,990 --> 02:14:39,029
Aye.

1911
02:14:39,030 --> 02:14:41,310
And maybe this time
we'll get there.
