1
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,390
Where did you last see
Lieutenant Graham, Pope?

2
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,670
It were somewhere round here, Major Brand, sir.

3
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,510
I weren't really watching too close on account
of t'Frogs all around us cutting and stabbing.

4
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,390
That's when I got this, sir.

5
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,990
Aye, and when I woke up it were dark.

6
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,150
The rest of the patrol were dead,
Lieutenant Graham were missing.

7
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,190
Then I came looking for you, sir.

8
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:46,270
(Gunshots)

9
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,430
- It's a bloody ambush!
- Get down!

10
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,910
Two to your left!

11
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,230
No! Please!

12
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,310
That's Graham.

13
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,350
The buggers are using him as bait.

14
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,310
- No! No!
- I'll go.

15
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,350
No, no, no, no, no.

16
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,740
I'll go, Sharpe.

17
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:15,270
SOLDIER: Go on Major Brand Go on sin

18
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,630
SHARPE: Covering fine!

19
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,900
Go on sin! You can do it!

20
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,070
Go on!

21
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,510
Go on!

22
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,790
SOLDIER: Bloody got him!

23
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,510
They've shot Major Brand!

24
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:55,870
(Soldiers cheer)

25
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,630
GRAHAM: Major Brand!

26
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,150
Major Brand.

27
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,190
Allez. Vite.

28
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,670
Major!

29
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,070
No! No!

30
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,110
(Single shot)

31
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,030
He's got him.

32
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,070
(Soldiers shout)

33
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,030
Harris!

34
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,590
Steady. Steady.

35
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,870
Hagman water

36
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,510
It's too late, I'm afraid, Sharpe.

37
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,310
You did your best, sir.

38
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,110
You did more than your best.

39
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,670
(Bugle call)

40
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,310
What's the matter?

41
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,350
Time to get up.

42
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,950
Don't you hear your bugle?

43
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,750
Bothers you, does it?

44
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:06,430
Suppose I put something in your ear
so you can't hear it?

45
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,150
Stop it, Richard!

46
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,070
Bagpipes could be worse.

47
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,950
I hate the bugle because I hate the army.

48
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,430
Because I hate the war.

49
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,790
We all hate the war.

50
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,830
No, you don't. You love it.

51
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,110
I'm a soldier.

52
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,510
What will you do when you go home, Richard?

53
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,470
You'll still be a soldier... but there won't be a war.

54
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,230
And if there's no war, then you won't be happy.

55
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,270
What will you do all day?

56
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,870
Well... I'll do what every other officer does.

57
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,990
What every other husband does.

58
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,430
Whatever that is.

59
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,310
I'll tell you what they do, Richard.

60
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,630
They ride, they hunt,

61
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,710
they gamble they play cards

62
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,190
They look after their gardens...
their dogs,

63
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:41,230
their libraries

64
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,310
They wine and dine
and make polite conversation.

65
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:49,310
They cut a figure in society.

66
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,630
Is that why you married me, Jane?
To cut a figure in society?

67
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,590
I thought you loved me for what I am.

68
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,630
You know I love you.

69
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,950
And you know I love you for yourself.

70
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:12,910
I just... picture you in my mind's eye back home
and I wonder how you'll fit in.

71
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,910
Would you be happy making polite conversation
about art and literature?

72
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,230
You mean will I be able?

73
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,710
So...

74
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,150
...what does this fellow Wordsworth do
when he's home?

75
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,190
What do you think he does?

76
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,870
Um...

77
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,910
Paints?

78
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,900
(To himself) Oh, you bloody fool, Sharpe.

79
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,630
Should have known he was a philosopher.

80
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,670
Richard...

81
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,150
I'm a stupid, silly snob. Can you forgive me?

82
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,390
Can I forgive you over there?

83
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,390
Major Sharpe

84
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,430
Major Sharpe?

85
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,030
Do your duty, Richard. I'm going to bathe.

86
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,830
(Mutters) Bloody army.

87
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,150
What is it, Harris?

88
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,750
Beg your pardon, sir, but you're to report
to General Wellington's tent at nine o'clock.

89
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,670
Pat, what are you doing?

90
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,870
Shh. Just carrying out orders, sir.

91
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,140
Nosey told us to fraternize
with the local population.

92
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,750
Well, in future, when you're fraternizing
with the local women,

93
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,910
make sure they're women over 40.

94
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,950
I'll think of that, sir.

95
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,830
Harris.

96
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,870
Sir?

97
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,870
- Have you heard of somebody Wordsworth?
- Oh, yes, sir. William Wordsworth. He's a poet.

98
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,630
Not a philosopher?

99
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,070
No, sir. Is that all, sir?

100
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,590
(Quietly) Yeah.

101
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:27,470
Forward march by the heft! By the heft!

102
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,310
Morning, Ramona.

103
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,990
Thanks for these.

104
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,390
Something the matter?

105
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,070
Something to do with Patrick?

106
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,510
I can tell you?

107
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,510
Yeah. Course you can.

108
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,990
Things are not good in bed
between Patrick and me.

109
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,540
Well, you know er...

110
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,270
We all have us ups and downs.

111
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,820
Not me! No ups, no downs.

112
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,430
Steady on.

113
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,230
Look. Patrick Harper,

114
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,070
my husband making a fool of himself

115
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,110
over a gypsy girl.

116
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,150
You know what I'd like to do to her?

117
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,230
Mm.

118
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,910
Mon colonel.

119
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,950
Garde à vous!

120
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,830
Ah, vous?

121
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,390
Gaston! Gaston!

122
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,350
I shall see you at supper some night,
Mr. Shellington.

123
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,950
- I do hope so, my dear lord. I do hope so.
- Ah.

124
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,390
There you are, Sharpe. I want you to meet
Mr. Clarence Shellington of the London Gazette.

125
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,390
This is Major Sharpe, one of our most er...

126
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,550
Well, one of our officers.

127
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,550
Delighted to make your acquaintance,
Major Sharpe.

128
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,710
Have you done anything heroic?

129
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,750
I'm afraid not, Mr. Shellington.

130
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:50,630
- My lord.
- Sharpe.

131
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,830
Shame on you Ross

132
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,870
You should have had him stopped at the port.

133
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,870
Poor fellow wants to give you a puff
for the public back home.

134
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:02,830
Puff? Rubbish. Have a look at that, Sharpe.

135
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,700
It's from Colonel Brand, Sharpe.
You know Colonel Brand, don't you?

136
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,270
Yes, sir. I was with him in the ambush
that won him his promotion, sir.

137
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,310
Well, that ambush created quite a stir in London,
as did your report.

138
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,670
The Prince Regent heard of it
and Brand did rather well from it.

139
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,670
He raised a special reconnaissance troop.
Brand's Boys, they call themselves.

140
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,750
They spend their time far behind the French
lines stirring up trouble, making mischief.

141
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,790
That's no matter to me.
This is what matters to me.

142
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,750
This report, if it's true,
could help us change the course of the war.

143
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,380
Brand believes he's located
General Calvet's main powder magazine.

144
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,510
It's in the Rocha cave system
30 miles behind the French lines

145
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,790
- What do you say to that Sharpe?
- Let's blow it up, sir.

146
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,030
How would you rate Brand as a field officer?

147
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,820
- One of the best I've ever seen, sir.
- You won't complain if he leads the mission?

148
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,430
Of course not, sir.

149
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,350
You think you and Brand can blow
the French powder magazine, do you?

150
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,270
- Yes, sir.
- You're a damn fool, Sharpe.

151
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,910
Oh. Thank you, sir.

152
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,510
Only one man in the British Army can blow
that magazine, and that is Major S Pyecroft.

153
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,910
- And Pyecroft won't blow it for us.
- Why not sin?

154
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,560
Presumably he's still a serving officer?

155
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,510
He's a serving officer with half his face missing,
and his left hand as well.

156
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,150
What happened to him?

157
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,270
Pyecroft and another officer
were working on a bomb.

158
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,660
The other officer made a mistake on the fuse.

159
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,150
Pyecroft spends his time in the desert,
as an exploring officer.

160
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,830
Who was the other officer, sir?

161
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,670
Was

162
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,740
I want you and Ross to set out at dawn tomorrow
and fetch Major Pyecroft back to camp.

163
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,190
- Dismissed
- Sir.

164
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,670
Oh, and, Sharpe?

165
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,300
Show Shellington round the camp.
I can't spare another officer.

166
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,270
- Yes, sir.
- Oh and Sharpe?

167
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,920
You'd better brace yourself. He's a poet.

168
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,950
A poet, sir?

169
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,990
My wife'll be delighted.

170
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,190
Really?

171
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:07,910
I'd rather call for the surgeon and have him
cut off my goddamned foot with a saw.

172
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,950
- Dismissed
- Sir.

173
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,470
We're wasting our time, sir.

174
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,790
- Pyecroft won't touch explosives.
- Then you'll have to make him, Ross.

175
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,950
Why me, sir?

176
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,990
Because you know how to hurt him.

177
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,950
You and Pyecroft were close, eh, Ross?

178
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,340
We were good friends, sir.

179
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,630
Just like you and me, Ross, eh?

180
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,390
Find him.

181
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,430
My lord.

182
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,430
Colonel Brand,

183
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,150
so far, so good.

184
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,350
Now you must convince Wellington
to send Ross with you on the mission

185
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,670
(Horse neighs)

186
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,550
Bloody gypsies! They'll have seen us. Merde!

187
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,230
Papa!

188
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,270
MAN: Hyah! Hyah!

189
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,150
Hyah!

190
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,070
Papa! Papa!

191
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,550
(Gunshot)

192
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:18,910
Vete, Zara! Vete!

193
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,390
(Screaming)

194
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,750
(Gunshot)

195
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,430
Bring the horse.

196
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,110
Mama!

197
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:35,070
Papa!

198
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,110
Mama!

199
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,150
Mama.

200
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,590
(Horse approaches)

201
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,990
I have to persuade Pyecroft to use explosives
again, which he swore not to do.

202
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,950
And he's going to be at the beck and call

203
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,630
of your hero, that bugger Brand.

204
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,710
Brand's a brave man, sir. I've seen him in action.

205
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,870
He's been out there for a good few years.

206
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,950
Every time he comes back, he's a hero.

207
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,670
Gone to his head, Sharpe.
He's a law unto himself.

208
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,750
From what I hear,
sometimes he is outside the law.

209
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,830
Maybe he uses rough methods,
but he gets results.

210
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,590
- So do you.
- Maybe I do, Sharpe,

211
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,140
- but I don't take pleasure in it.
- You're a damn liar.

212
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,590
You'll have to wait this time, Ross.

213
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,670
Come on, Pyecroft, you old buzzard.

214
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,110
You and Pyecroft were good friends,
weren't you?

215
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,150
Just like you and me, Sharpe.

216
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,310
Yes, sir.

217
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,270
Though I walk through the shadow
of the valley of death,

218
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:24,430
I shall fear no evil.

219
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,230
Receive O Lord the souls
of these poor unknown gypsies

220
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,190
and send down thy vengeance
upon their murderers.

221
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:42,310
En el nombre del Padre,
del Hijo y del Espiritu Sancto. Amen.

222
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:23,190
Dear Lord, what are you going to do
for this poor girl?

223
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,430
There he is, sir.

224
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,910
Ah that's him all night

225
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,030
Ha-ha! Well, I'll be damned!

226
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:30,110
Septimus has got a girl with him.

227
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,670
- Septimus?
- Silly, ain't it?

228
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,310
(Gunshot)

229
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,670
(Gunshot)

230
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,870
SHARPE: Good God he'll never make it

231
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,630
The best I can do is down one of them, sir.
What about the other four?

232
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,350
Septimus will think of something.

233
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,220
Come on! Come on!

234
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,950
Good to see you, Septimus.

235
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,790
Wish I could say the same.

236
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,830
Major Sharpe.

237
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,590
Thank you, Sharpe. Good shot.

238
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,550
- Sir.
- You're probably wondering

239
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,150
why I called you in from the hills.

240
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,110
No, I'm not wondering. You want me
to blow something up. The answer is no.

241
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,070
I don't use explosives any more

242
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,390
- You could have fooled me back there, sir.
- Those explosives are for my personal use.

243
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,270
Who's the girl?

244
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:19,150
She's a gypsy. Her parents were murdered.
She's too frightened to tell me what happened.

245
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,070
We've got gypsies at the camp

246
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,110
She can stay. Gypsies look after their own.

247
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,590
So they do, Hector.
We could all profit from their example...

248
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,470
especially when cutting fuses.

249
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,790
After you... Hector.

250
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,710
DRILL SERGEANT: Come on, come on!

251
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,750
I'm tired and I'm thirsty.

252
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,950
Take me home.

253
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,590
Who is that?

254
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,270
That's Pyecroft

255
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:25,310
And his gypsy girl.

256
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,670
Why's he wearing that awful hood?

257
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,750
Maybe cos he's twice her age.

258
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,790
I think I should get one of them.

259
00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:39,790
SOLDIER: Colonel Brand!

260
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,070
Welcome to Wellington's camp, Colonel Brand.

261
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,950
Sharpe, isn't it?

262
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,270
I mean Major Sharpe. I beg your pardon.

263
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:20,590
- You've risen in the ranks
- So have you, sir.

264
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,910
Congratulations, Major.

265
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,270
- Thank you, sir.
- And who is this good-looking woman?

266
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:31,710
May I introduce my wife? Mrs. Jane Sharpe, sir.

267
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,070
Pleased to meet you, ma'am.

268
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,190
May I say you are as beautiful
as your husband is brave.

269
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:42,110
Bravery is a subject on which I hear you speak
with some authority, Colonel Brand.

270
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,750
Well, my fame follows me like a bucket
tied to a dog's tail, my lady.

271
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,350
It makes a great deal of noise
but is damned inconvenient.

272
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,900
A bon mot! I must make a note of that.

273
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,270
This is Mr. Clarence Shellington, sir.
He works for the London Gazette.

274
00:27:56,360 --> 00:27:59,630
- He wants to write about you sin
- Your servant, Shellington.

275
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,470
May I make an appointment to speak to you
on behalf of my readers, sir?

276
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,510
Why not do it over dinner?

277
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,160
May I invite you two gentlemen to dine tonight?

278
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,190
What do you say, Colonel Brand?

279
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,060
I accept, madam.
But I warn you, I'm a simple soldier.

280
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,720
No fancy dishes. All I require is a good claret.

281
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:20,470
And you Mr. Shellington?

282
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,470
Bread and water and your company, madam,
would suffice.

283
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,580
By the way, Sharpe, where can my men
find water well away from camp?

284
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,390
- You're not camping in the main line, sir?
- No. My men keep themselves to themselves.

285
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,870
It's a matter of morale.

286
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,630
Well, you'll find fresh water and good shelter
behind those trees, sir.

287
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,910
Good. Thank you.

288
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,550
Damn it, Jane. They're dining with us tonight.
Who's going to organize the cooking?

289
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,230
We have to find somebody
who knows about Frog dishes,

290
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,590
- which fork goes with which knife...
- Of course we shall.

291
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,510
Fiddle and pipe

292
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,190
SHARPE: What's going on?

293
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,070
If I find any of you near this gypsy girl again,
I'll confine you to camp for a year.

294
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,510
Now, clear off! The lot of you.

295
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,030
Harris.

296
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,710
As you were, Harris.

297
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,910
Now... I'm having some guests for dinner tonight.

298
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,350
How would you like to be chef, eh?

299
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,710
Serve at table, talk Frog, a little la-di-da, eh?

300
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,100
Not very much, sir.

301
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,350
But if you give me Conchita's apple...

302
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,910
That's how it started
in the Garden of Eden, Harris.

303
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,390
Buenos días, señorita.

304
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,430
Señora, not Señorita.

305
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,630
And I have a child.

306
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,630
- Pity it's not mine.
- Ramona?

307
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,630
See you again... Señorita.

308
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,260
So who's that ugly buzzard?

309
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,030
How should I know? Never saw him before.

310
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,230
You never saw him before?

311
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,750
Well, by God, you've been doing some winking
and twinkling for a married woman.

312
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,430
Married woman? Me?

313
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,060
No, for two months, I have no ups, no downs.

314
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:51,990
We are here. 60 miles north,
this river marks the boundaries of our forces.

315
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,430
30 miles north of the river is the Rocha fort
and powder magazine

316
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,190
housing General Calvet's supplies.

317
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,270
50 miles to the east
is General Calvet's main camp.

318
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:09,310
Now, our task is simple. To move north,
capture the fort, blow the powder magazine,

319
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,390
and make it back to camp before Calvet's men
can intercept us over the mountains.

320
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,830
Congratulations, Brand.
It's ambitious and it's rather impressive.

321
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,950
There is one thing, sir. It seems a pity
to blow the fort without making a full inventory.

322
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,710
You mean for intelligence purposes?

323
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,830
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear.

324
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:31,390
General Calvet is rumored to have gathered
his stores as well as his ammunition at the fort.

325
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,070
An inventory would give us a picture
of Napoleon's intentions in the area.

326
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,510
Perhaps I should go on the mission, sir.

327
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,390
Sniff round the fort,
make a full survey of the stores.

328
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,310
Put it all together
it would give us a glimpse into Calvet's mind

329
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,750
I would be risking my head of intelligence
on nothing more than a rumor

330
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,830
that the Rocha fort is the center
of Calvet's storage system.

331
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,070
Yes, sir, I think it might well be a risk
worth taking, eh, Brand?

332
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,550
I can assure you, my lord...
my information is never wrong.

333
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,110
Very well.

334
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,670
Colonel Brand and his men will set out at dawn
the day after tomorrow.

335
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,870
They will scout one day ahead
of the main body of infantry,

336
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,430
to be commanded by Major Sharpe.
Sharpe will also be responsible

337
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,510
for the security of a party of sappers and
engineers to be commanded by Major Pyecroft.

338
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,160
Will that be all, sir? I've had a long journey

339
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,670
and should like to make myself presentable
enough to dine with Major Sharpe

340
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,750
- and his wife tonight
- I'm obliged for the information. Dismissed.

341
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,630
Colonel Brand seems to think
very highly of you, Sharpe.

342
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,280
Seems so, sir.

343
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,230
Well, don't let it go to your head.

344
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,670
One minute you're showing poets
round the camp,

345
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,910
the next you're throwing dinner parties
for senior officers.

346
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,990
You're cutting quite a figure in society, Sharpe.

347
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,630
Thank you, sir.

348
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,750
Major Pyecroft to see you, sir.

349
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,950
I respectfully request not to be assigned
to this mission as explosives officer, sir.

350
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,190
Request denied, Major Pyecroft.

351
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,550
A man under duress
may not do his best work, sir.

352
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,830
Let me make something clear to you, Pyecroft.

353
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,950
You have two choices.

354
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,270
Either you blow up the Rocha powder magazine

355
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:17,430
or I'll return you to the regular army list
and find an excuse to send you back to London.

356
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,990
See how you like it in your leather hood
with children pointing at you in the street.

357
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,310
(Clears throat)

358
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,470
Well?

359
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,510
I'll blow the magazine, sir.

360
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,830
Dismissed.

361
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,230
Sir.

362
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,470
What do you think, Ross?

363
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,430
Colonel Brand has offered us
an interesting opportunity.

364
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:51,910
Can we exploit it?

365
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,710
Too early to say.

366
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,150
I'll only find out by going on the mission.

367
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,310
By then it may be too late, Ross.
Too late for you.

368
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,350
(Sneezes)

369
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,750
That's what you pay me for, sir.

370
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,590
May I compliment you on an excellent meal,
my lady?

371
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,700
It tasted all the sweeter since we spent the last
six weeks foraging for food behind enemy lines.

372
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,070
How wonderful to live like a gypsy.

373
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,990
And... what a good idea for a portrait.

374
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,590
Would you sit for me, dear lady?

375
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,300
Some rings, a scarf.

376
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,070
Oh, please say you will.
The Romanies are so romantic.

377
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,870
I'm sorry to hear you say that.

378
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,470
I myself hold no regard
for the culture of the gypsy race.

379
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:46,470
Nor I. I merely meant that they were
a good source of poetic inspiration.

380
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,390
I shall be glad to get myself up
if you wish to paint my portrait.

381
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,180
I'm sure Mr. Shellington's admiration
of the Romany race is purely artistic.

382
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,590
Absolutely.

383
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,990
Absolutely, my dear lady. How aptly put.

384
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,230
You don't see gypsies as a suitable subject
for poetry, Shellington?

385
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,790
The sublime is my only subject, Colonel Brand.

386
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,990
I'm glad to hear it.
Soldiers should confine themselves to shooting.

387
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,750
Poets should confine themselves to the sublime.

388
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,590
Pray, what do you think
is the proper subject for painters?

389
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,300
I think painters should confine themselves
to nature.

390
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:25,790
Sunsets and suchlike.

391
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,950
You are a student of nature, sir?

392
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,990
Absolutely. Do you know why?

393
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,710
Because I am a soldier.

394
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,590
What's the first thing you notice about nature,
Shellington?

395
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,950
You notice that the strong animals survive
and the weak fall away.

396
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,990
That's how the world is

397
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,430
The strong survive and the weak die.
That's how it should be.

398
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,270
That way you breed a strong race.

399
00:35:56,720 --> 00:36:01,070
Survival of the strongest is the principle
upon which I conduct my troop.

400
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,030
I work my men hand

401
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,990
Those that can keep up I promote

402
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,030
Those that can't I have no use for

403
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,030
What about the wounded, sir?

404
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,150
Wounded?

405
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:20,310
In battle, sir, some men are killed,
some survive and some men are wounded.

406
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,830
The wounded are always the greatest burden.

407
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,630
What do you do about them?

408
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:26,670
We leave them, Sharpe.

409
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,270
This is war. War is no place for the weak.

410
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,470
That's a big change.

411
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,910
Change? What do you mean?

412
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,070
When I first met you, sir... you tried to rescue
a wounded man under fire.

413
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,310
Well, let's just say I felt lucky that day.

414
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,430
Out late, my little lady.

415
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,950
I'm not your little lady.

416
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,900
That's right, you're Sergeant Harper's little lady,
but he don't treat you right, do he?

417
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,350
You would understand better what happened
if you were married, Sergeant Pope.

418
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:14,990
Married? Me?

419
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,270
Oh, no, I like to stay free as a bird.

420
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,310
Huh. What kind of bird?

421
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,430
A cuckoo.

422
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,390
I like to... lay my eggs in a nest
and then I moves on.

423
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,390
I'd love to lay an egg in your nest.

424
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:33,750
Come here, you bitch!

425
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,950
You whore!

426
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,150
(Harper groans)

427
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,550
I'm not a whore.

428
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,590
I am the wife of Patrick Harper.

429
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,990
I'm sorry you can't stay longer, sir.
We won't keep you from your bed.

430
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:08,830
Bed?

431
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,910
I'm not for bed.
I shall go back now and turn out the guard.

432
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,590
I turn them out three times a night.
Do it myself. Keeps them on their toes.

433
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,190
Well, good night, sir.

434
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,470
Good night, Sharpe. Good night, my lady.

435
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,310
Till tomorrow, Shellington.

436
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:32,110
As Shakespeare says in Hamlet:
Good night, dear Prince.

437
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,150
Your carriage awaits,

438
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:39,990
Mr. Shellington

439
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,270
It was so pleasant to have you here tonight,
Mr. Shellington.

440
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,270
To hear polite conversation, talk of poetry.

441
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,070
I hope we will see you again.

442
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,390
I shall see you all night in my dreams,

443
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,430
dear lady

444
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,870
Wasn't it a wonderful evening?

445
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,030
(Door opens and closes)

446
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,230
May I be excused
as soon as I put everything to rights, sir?

447
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:40,230
- What's your rush, Harris?
- I've an appointment with a young lady, sir.

448
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,870
Well, good luck to you, then.

449
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:48,190
Mr. Shellington, sir...

450
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,070
What about him, Harris?

451
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,790
Well, his quotation from Shakespeare
was incorrect.

452
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,350
The phrase is from Hamlet,
but it's not "Good night, dean Prince,"

453
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,510
it's "Good night sweet Prince"

454
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,510
What's your point, Harris?

455
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,300
My point, sir, is that Shellington does not know
a lot about literature,

456
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,150
but he knows a lot about women.

457
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,150
Good night, dear Prince.

458
00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:37,190
Good night, sweet Prince.

459
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,150
Conchita.

460
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,590
(Distant bugle)

461
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,910
Garrotte.

462
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,230
The Portuguese use it a lot. Your fellow Harris
probably saw them do it when he was in Lisbon.

463
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,190
You think Harris could have done this... sir?

464
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,550
Well, it seems he was fond of one of the gypsies.

465
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,390
He probably tried to make love to her,
the others came along and he killed them all.

466
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,750
Who reported this murder?

467
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,630
I did, sir.

468
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:52,150
So, Harris goes to her caravan
in the dead of night,

469
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:55,710
chokes her to death, and he calls you in?

470
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,750
Make sense to you, sir?

471
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,190
It does seem you may have been a bit hasty,
Provost Marshal.

472
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,190
Thank you, sir.

473
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,900
I will have to arrange a court of inquiry,
possibly a court martial.

474
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,950
In the meantime,
this man will be confined to camp

475
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,990
and will be in your care.

476
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,030
Good of you to go out on a limb like that, sir.

477
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,390
Forget it.

478
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,150
Just as we must hope
that Pyecroft can forget his poor gypsy girl.

479
00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:35,190
What gypsy girl was that, sir?

480
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,390
Wasn't Pyecroft's gypsy girl murdered last night?

481
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,870
What makes you think that, sir?

482
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,190
I thought she was staying here with the others.

483
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,430
No, sir, she was staying with Pyecroft
last night, sir.

484
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,710
Lucky for her.

485
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,030
So, Pyecroft got himself a gypsy.

486
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,630
Who else would have him, eh?

487
00:43:01,720 --> 00:43:04,870
I'll be on my way, Sharpe.
Call on my assistance any time.

488
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,420
Thank you sin

489
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,430
You're in big bloody trouble, Harris.

490
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,230
I know, sir. Prima facie doesn't look good, sir.

491
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,270
Prima facie? What do you mean, prima facie?

492
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,470
Latin, sir. Prima facie. At first sight.

493
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,510
Look, shut up, Harris.

494
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,750
What have you got to say for yourself?

495
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,400
Nil desperandum, sir. Never say die.

496
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:31,270
Harris, until this matter is resolved,
you're my responsibility.

497
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,110
While I'm on this mission...
you will act as manservant to my wife.

498
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,510
You're letting a suspected murderer
look after your wife, sir?

499
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:47,460
Harris, I am posting you to my household
as I would post you to a position on a battlefield.

500
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,590
Yes, sir!

501
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:27,830
The ring sir The ring

502
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,550
Here I am Colonel Brand as we arranged

503
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,190
Well, this won't do at all.

504
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,910
You must don a most heroic uniform
and sit on a most heroic horse.

505
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,830
The readers of the Gazette pay two pennies
for my paper, sir,

506
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,550
and they expect to see the sublime.

507
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,310
Don't worry, Shellington,
I'll give your readers their money's worth.

508
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,820
Put it away, Pyecroft.

509
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,390
Sit down.

510
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,540
I want you to put your mind to this, Pyecroft.

511
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,270
Last night, somebody came into the camp
and killed three gypsies.

512
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,630
A man and two women. No apparent reason.

513
00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:25,470
Zara told me the men that killed
her mother and father spoke English.

514
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,430
She heard them shouting. And she's seen
her parents' horses in this camp.

515
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,270
They cut a ring from her mother's finger,
shaped like a snake.

516
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,310
She made a drawing of it for me.

517
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,590
When they discover their mistake

518
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,630
they'll come after her.

519
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,150
You can't take Zara on this mission with you,
Pyecroft.

520
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,070
She can stay with Ramona.

521
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,720
She'll be safe here.

522
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,870
Much obliged, Sharpe.

523
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,150
Sir.

524
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:21,990
Sharpe.

525
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:23,830
I'm concerned about this mission, sir.

526
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,540
Attempting to blow up a French powder
magazine is reasonable cause for concern.

527
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,390
It's not that, sir.
It's the man leading the mission that worries me.

528
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,150
You agreed.
Are you questioning His Lordship's orders?

529
00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:36,510
- No, sir, but...
- Go back and prepare your men.

530
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,550
Leave the thinking to me.

531
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,150
Yes, sir.

532
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,350
Right double up!

533
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,150
Fall in!

534
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,230
Don't worry, Harper.

535
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,430
Your turn will come.

536
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,870
Let's get them moving.

537
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,670
HARPER: Company shoulder arms!

538
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,710
Right face!

539
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:34,910
Left wheel quick march!

540
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,270
BRAND: Clesson's got the bait

541
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,910
Alors, mes enfants.

542
00:51:00,240 --> 00:51:04,470
I'm sorry about keeping you from the rest
of the camp, but I have my reasons.

543
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,510
No need to apologize, Sharpe.

544
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,630
I'm used to being on my own.

545
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,030
Well... you won't be on your own tonight.

546
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:42,910
Thank you, Sharpe.

547
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,270
(Whistles)

548
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,990
Brings back fond memories, eh, sir?

549
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,830
I beg your pardon, sir.

550
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:58,670
It's all right.

551
00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:01,670
Just keep an eye on 'em, eh?

552
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,460
- I don't know who's about.
- Don't you worry, sir.

553
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,910
Me and this old lass, we'll look after 'em.

554
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,990
It is entitled Thinking Of Tomorrow's Battle.

555
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:40,060
Shouldn't it be called Thinking Of Going Home,
Mr. Shellington?

556
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,910
The people who buy the Gazette want to read
about the spirit of war, Major Sharpe,

557
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,110
and that is what I'm here to sketch.

558
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,590
Spirit of war eh?

559
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,110
Very good.

560
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:01,190
- Carry on, Mr. Shellington.
- Good night, Major Sharpe.

561
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:02,550
Good night, sweet Prince.

562
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:20,590
Congratulations Colonel

563
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:24,070
You must be able to smell the garlic.

564
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:50,710
Charge!

565
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,990
(Battle cries)

566
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,910
La poudre. La poudre, elle est foutue.

567
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:23,910
Surrender? Yeah, course you can.

568
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,830
Get 'em moving over here!

569
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,470
Non. Non.

570
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,950
Non s'il vous plait
Non monsieur! Non s'il vous plait!

571
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,070
Frogs...

572
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,430
What is it?

573
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,980
- What is it?
- Best stay back, Mr. Shellington.

574
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,830
A few dead Frogs down there.
It's not a pretty sight.

575
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,150
Don't be silly, Mr. Sharpe.

576
00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:24,190
That's what I came to see.

577
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,150
The spirit of war.

578
00:56:26,240 --> 00:56:27,790
The sights of war.

579
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,830
The sounds of war.

580
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,350
The sounds of war, Mr. Shellington?

581
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,030
You'll hear the sound of war down there
all night

582
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,710
It's a very soft sound.

583
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:40,990
And a very dirty sound.

584
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,830
(Hushed chatter)

585
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,790
OFFICER: Column... halt!

586
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,550
Stay still!

587
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:59,670
Stay where you are lads Stay back

588
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:22,830
SHARPE: Sir Pyecroft

589
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,150
You notice anything?

590
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,990
- What, Sharpe?
- There's no losses on our side.

591
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,230
Not a Redcoat amongst 'em.

592
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,910
Brand's the only one ahead of us.

593
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:42,950
Must have taken them by surprise.

594
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,070
Maybe.

595
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,990
Hold your hand out, sir.

596
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,470
Have a look at them, Pyecroft.

597
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,350
What the devil are you looking for, Sharpe?

598
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,390
The man who ran the furthest.

599
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,550
There he is.

600
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:35,270
- How do you think this man died?
- Slashed to death with a saber, for God's sake.

601
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,310
What are you playing at, Sharpe?

602
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,590
Take a closer look, sir.

603
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,070
Good God.

604
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,070
Sharpe Ross

605
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,470
What is it, Pyecroft?

606
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,430
On the right, regulation powder issued to us.

607
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:14,140
On the left... the powder issued
to these poor buggers.

608
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:21,590
Just a pinch of powder. The rest was dust,
sand, God knows what other rubbish.

609
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,630
Whoever armed these poor devils
knew they were going to die here.

610
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,670
They didn't have a chance.

611
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,390
- This was slaughter.
- All right, what's going on?

612
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,150
Whoever set up this massacre
was working wi' the French.

613
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,800
- Bad powder, no British casualties...
- Sharpe.

614
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,750
It's all a bloody fraud!

615
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:40,790
It's Brand, isn't it? Has to be.

616
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,180
And you knew all along.
You and bloody Wellington.

617
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,310
- Yes, we... we had our suspicions.
- You bloody knew!

618
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,590
- Why didn't you tell me?
- We had to be sure.

619
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,830
Sure?! Look around you.

620
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:54,750
This isn't soldiery. He couldn't even do it cleanly.
The man's a bloody butcher.

621
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,550
You're damned impudent,
but you're absolutely right.

622
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,590
Call Brand in. We are going home.

623
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,590
- Oh, no, we're not, sir.
- Oh?

624
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:05,550
It's a trap. They've baited it with a really
big cheese, the Rocha powder magazine.

625
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:06,860
We are going home!

626
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,550
No, we're bloody not! We're going to get Brand

627
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:13,550
and we're going to blow up
that Frog bloody magazine. Pyecroft?

628
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:16,870
You get me in there, Sharpe,
I think it could be arranged.

629
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:18,630
We're going to use bloody big bait.

630
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:20,310
Oh? What?

631
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,670
- You.
- Me?!

632
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,430
Yes, you... sir.

633
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,910
OFFICER: Come on, get a move on.
Over here, you two.

634
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,950
Get these bodies out of the way.

635
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,190
Oh, looks bad.
I think he could do with seeing the surgeon.

636
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,550
Best brown paper and paraffin oil, sir.

637
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,870
- That'll do it
- What are we going to do with him, Sharpe?

638
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,350
- Send him home, sir.
- Home? He'll need an escort.

639
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,310
Send two of Brand's men with him.
They know the terrain.

640
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,910
Which is a perfect excuse
for bringing Brand back

641
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,950
ROSS: What if he doesn't want
to go back to Wellington's camp?

642
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,470
Oh, he'll want to, sir.

643
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:08,430
Where am I?

644
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,430
- Might even try to seduce my wife.
- What?

645
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,510
Oh, I remember.

646
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,980
I should see a surgeon.

647
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:21,350
Don't worry, Shellington,
we'll soon have you back home.

648
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:27,150
You know our friend here's
going to be hanging round your house?

649
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,940
So will Harris, Pat.

650
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:49,670
You know what I want, don't you?

651
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,670
You need Zara as bait for Brand.

652
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,190
I'll have to ask her, Sharpe.

653
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,230
You know what the answer to that'll be.

654
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:13,830
She's a Romany.
She wants revenge for her parents' death.

655
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,830
They want us to go back, sir.

656
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:25,430
Why are they calling you back?

657
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:30,670
I don't know. But it means
I get to stay at Sharpe's camp tonight.

658
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,950
Ross is very important to me.

659
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:39,790
You will remember that I have made you
what you are... and I could destroy you.

660
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:41,830
You'll get what you want.

661
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,830
But remember,
you need me more than I need you.

662
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,510
Don't ever threaten me again.

663
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,470
Will there be anything else, ma'am?

664
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,100
No, thank you, Harris.

665
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,310
- You may go.
- Thank you, ma'am.

666
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,350
There is something else Harris

667
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,670
- Yes, ma'am?
- Sit down, Harris.

668
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,910
I wanted to talk to you about Major Sharpe.

669
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,030
You've known him longer than I have.

670
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:39,710
Soldiers don't discuss their commanding officers
with strangers, ma'am.

671
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:41,750
Stranger?

672
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,630
Is that what I am, a stranger?

673
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,230
His wife... a stranger?

674
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,270
I'm sorry.

675
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:53,070
I merely meant that you're not a soldier, ma'am.

676
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,390
- Now, if you'll excuse me.
- Please, Harris.

677
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,350
Talk to me.

678
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,590
Tell me what you think of him.

679
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,910
Not as a major but as a man.

680
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:09,910
What makes you love him?

681
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,190
Ma'am...

682
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,230
Why would you follow him to the death?

683
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,230
Loyalty.

684
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,580
We're loyal to him, he's loyal to us.

685
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,510
In life and in death.

686
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,830
We trust him with our lives
and he trusts us with his life.

687
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,590
And with his wife.

688
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:31,470
He trusts you with his wife.

689
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:49,710
(Door closes)

690
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:21,710
SHARPE: Deeply obliged to you, sir.

691
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:23,750
Glad to see the back of him.

692
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,870
Think nothing of it.
He shouldn't be out here anyway.

693
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,030
I'm glad you called me back.
I should be keeping an eye on Ross.

694
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:34,350
SHARPE: Yeah

695
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,670
Thinks the French are trying to trap us.

696
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,870
- Mind if I ask you another favor, sir?
- Not at all.

697
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:47,150
Between you and me, sir,
the lads are nervous about that powder wagon.

698
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:50,750
I've told Pyecroft to take it up to the woods
for the night.

699
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,350
Take his gypsy girl with him

700
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:57,750
I'd be damn grateful
if you could put on a special guard for him, sir.

701
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,350
I'll take care of it myself.

702
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:02,390
Thank you very much, sir.

703
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,070
POPE: What's going on here eh?

704
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,990
We feed Frogs to the crows.

705
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:16,510
We don't. They're soldiers, same as us.

706
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:20,630
Soldiers? You call that bedraggled lot soldiers?

707
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:22,670
That'll do, Pope.

708
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,430
Aren't you the fellows they call... Chosen Men?

709
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,870
The scourge of the French
Sure there isn't some mistake?

710
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:35,750
You seem a bit... soft-hearted to be Chosen Men.

711
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,470
Chosen Men are men of honor.

712
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:43,180
Men who'll fight any enemy to the death...
but still bury them.

713
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:46,870
They have respect.

714
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,510
- Vive la France!
ALL: Vive la France! Vive la France!

715
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:18,510
Vive la France! Vive la France! Vive la France!

716
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,190
Boo

717
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:00,230
We want you to tell us things, Pope.

718
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,190
I'll tell you nowt.

719
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,740
I'm going to take you into the woods, laddie.

720
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:07,670
You'll go in a man...

721
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,060
How you come out is entirely up to you.

722
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:13,070
Get out!

723
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,390
There's about two ounces of explosives here

724
01:08:20,480 --> 01:08:23,710
Not quite enough to kill you
just enough to make a nasty hole

725
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:27,030
Rather unpleasant with all these rats
Wolves maybe

726
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:32,390
It's a seven-minute fuse.
You'll call for me in about four.

727
01:08:32,480 --> 01:08:35,550
I'll return in about six... if you're lucky.

728
01:09:16,440 --> 01:09:18,390
(Cocks gun)

729
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:23,030
Did you kill her?

730
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:26,140
Get up!

731
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:43,990
It were all Brand's doing!

732
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,670
Stop the fuse now, Major.

733
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:51,790
He told me about it. And he told me
that if I told, nobody would believe me.

734
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:53,550
Look, please, Major!

735
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:56,950
For the love of God, stop that fuse!

736
01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,600
He's a French spy! He's a murderer!

737
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,030
He made me a murderer

738
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,230
He made me a spy too
He's made all of us murderers

739
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:07,270
- and spies
- Never!

740
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,390
Murderers... maybe.

741
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:17,070
We did well out of Brand, plenty of loot,
lots of women, but we're not spies.

742
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:20,630
Pope, maybe... but not me.

743
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:23,630
Not me or the men.

744
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:27,240
Please, Major, I've told you everything I know!

745
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,550
Do you think he's told us everything, Sharpe?

746
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:35,470
No. He hasn't told us why the Frogs
put their powder magazine at risk.

747
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:37,750
- What are we doing here?
- Ross

748
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,710
They want Major General Ross
because he knows Wellington's strategy.

749
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:46,870
The Frogs were going to jump on you
tomorrow night. No prisoners except Ross.

750
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,630
The next morning,
me and Brand find you all dead.

751
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,790
Take on the garrison at the fort...
and report back to Wellington as heroes.

752
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,990
Well, I'm convinced,
but it won't convince a court martial.

753
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,230
They'll say he said it under duress.

754
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,830
Besides he can always take it all back

755
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,830
Brand has ways of bringing pressure

756
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:10,710
POPE: Please Major Sharpe!

757
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:13,710
Stop the fuse!

758
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:17,710
Stop the fuse!

759
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:22,430
Look, he took me in. He took us all in.

760
01:11:23,480 --> 01:11:26,910
He took you in too, didn't he, eh, Sharpe? Eh?

761
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:30,950
Remember?
When he "rescued" Lieutenant Graham.

762
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:32,990
You thought he were a hero

763
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,030
Eh?

764
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:36,910
Well the French set that up

765
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,030
- And then you got him promoted
- So I did.

766
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:49,030
I'll have to make up for it now.

767
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:58,830
I don't know why I bother.

768
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:02,440
- They'll shoot you anyway.
- They might not.

769
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,070
I'll turn king's evidence.

770
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,110
I might get away with a flogging.

771
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:09,510
They play fair, you know.

772
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,560
I think I can make you a better offer than that.

773
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:19,070
How about you and Harper just go off, eh?

774
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,780
Suit you, Pat?

775
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:37,790
That suits me just fine.

776
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:40,790
There you go.

777
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,550
Just watch him, Pat. He's a crafty little bastard.

778
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:15,790
Come here, you bastard!

779
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:17,830
Come here!

780
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:49,350
Sir.

781
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:04,660
What shall I do to show how much I love her?

782
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,670
How many millions of sighs can suffice?

783
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:15,030
That that wins others' hearts
never can move her.

784
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:19,750
Those common methods of love she'll despise.

785
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:24,550
(Crash of crockery)
- I do beg your pardon, ma'am.

786
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:39,030
Whoa!

787
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,190
Sharpe!

788
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,430
Let me and my boys go in and finish off the fort.

789
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:52,830
I bet you'd like that. Butchering
another pathetic bunch of French deserters.

790
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:54,870
Better for you, surely, Sharpe.

791
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:57,630
That's not soldiering.

792
01:14:57,720 --> 01:14:59,670
Pat.

793
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:20,590
Parlez-vous anglais?

794
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,510
I speak little English.

795
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:24,590
What do you want?

796
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,110
The French colonel has left you here to die.

797
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:30,910
He's given you bad powder.

798
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:35,190
The powder is so bad, it cannot carry a bullet

799
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:37,230
strong enough to kill me.

800
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,300
I wish you to try.

801
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,430
Tirez! Tirez!

802
01:16:04,480 --> 01:16:06,510
That's soldiering.

803
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:11,590
HARPER: Column forward

804
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:26,710
March south as quickly as you can.

805
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:32,880
If you see a British soldier, surrender.
You shall be safe.

806
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,520
Merci, monsieur.

807
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:37,550
En avant.

808
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:43,470
If you meet up with your French colonel,
tell him we are three times their number.

809
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:44,990
D'accord.

810
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,310
Feeding false information to the enemy.

811
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:49,710
That's soldiering.

812
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:53,670
Lock 'em up.

813
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:55,710
Go on move on!

814
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,100
We're prepared to fight alongside you, Sharpe.

815
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:01,270
I wouldn't want to be caught dead
in the same grave as you.

816
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:04,870
Come on move you swine you swine!
Go on keep moving!

817
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,460
Come and see this, Sharpe. Pyecroft.

818
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:37,750
Stand still

819
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:41,710
Keep your hands together Move it

820
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:47,260
The powder's probably
on the other side of this door.

821
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:49,740
- I'll have to blow it open.
- Blow it open, then.

822
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:51,710
And risk setting off the whole magazine?

823
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:55,870
- You're supposed to be the expert, aren't you?
- Frogs, sir.

824
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:57,910
(Drums)

825
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:17,710
SHARPE: Five to one lads! What do you say?
- Five to one against us

826
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:22,470
the first time they come,
but after that, the odds turn in our favor.

827
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:25,510
What do you say, lads?

828
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,710
- What do you say, lads?
ALL: Yeah!

829
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,750
Show the Colors!

830
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,670
En rang!

831
01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:58,910
En rang!

832
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:03,940
Hagman, call Major General Ross
for a field court martial. On the double.

833
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:06,230
Aye, sir.

834
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:17,380
Hector, there... there's something
I've been meaning to tell you.

835
01:19:17,480 --> 01:19:21,100
It may have been my fault.
I may have cut the fuses too short.

836
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,310
Not like you to cut short fuses, Septimus.

837
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,830
We're getting married, Zara and I,
if we get out of this.

838
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:38,030
You'll have to be my best man, Hector. Can't
have a best man who cuts a short fuse, eh?

839
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:39,830
It would be a great honor, Septimus.

840
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:43,590
My dear.

841
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:50,630
Are you mad, Sharpe? A court martial
with the Frogs beating at the door?

842
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:53,550
That's why I want a court martial, sir.

843
01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:55,870
I want Colonel Brand tried as a traitor.

844
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:57,910
I want him tried for six murders.

845
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:00,350
Captain Crake will act for the defense.

846
01:20:00,440 --> 01:20:02,550
If I can think of anything to say.

847
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:04,630
Very well, Sharpe.

848
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:08,950
But there'll be a record of this trial. I want it done
by the book. I want witnesses, I want proof.

849
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,470
Then let's get started straightaway, sir.

850
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:14,550
Very well.

851
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:17,590
You have ten minutes
for the prosecution and no more.

852
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,310
I call my first witness, sir. Zara the gypsy girl.

853
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:35,270
Whoever murdered her mother
found it on her finger.

854
01:20:36,440 --> 01:20:38,870
Did you even wear such a ring Colonel Brand?

855
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:42,790
Of course not, you damn fool.

856
01:20:45,440 --> 01:20:49,110
This is a sketch drawn by Mr. Shellington

857
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:51,430
of Colonel Brand

858
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,750
on the morning of the 10th October.
It's signed and dated.

859
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:57,870
It shows that Colonel Brand

860
01:20:57,960 --> 01:20:59,710
was wearing Zara's mother's ring

861
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:05,230
This is a sketch

862
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:08,860
drawn by Mr. Shellington on the following day...

863
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:11,390
by which time Colonel Brand had realized

864
01:21:11,480 --> 01:21:14,470
that Zara had most likely heard or seen
her mother being murdered.

865
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:17,710
As you can see, sir...

866
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:19,710
the ring is now gone.

867
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:23,070
Got anything to say to that, Colonel Brand?

868
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:26,350
I've never seen the ring before in my life.

869
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:32,830
Turn out your pockets, Brand.

870
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:40,470
(Clink)

871
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:52,110
I knew you were too mean to throw it away.

872
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:55,150
That's not proof.

873
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:58,150
Pope must have put it in my pocket.

874
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,390
Before we leave these sketches, sir...

875
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:15,990
...one more detail.

876
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:21,230
You see this braided cord on the riding crop
wrapped around his hands?

877
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:23,750
See the braid?

878
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:28,150
The same X marks that we found
on the gypsy girls' necks back at the camp.

879
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:32,550
That we found on the neck
of the deserter yesterday.

880
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,150
The same mark.

881
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:39,910
You're excused, my child.

882
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:45,150
That's just the first of the details, sir.

883
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:50,190
I now intend to read a testimony
of the late Sergeant Pope.

884
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:55,220
It's quite conclusive, sir. I think you'll agree,
having heard it, that we have a prima-facie case

885
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:57,780
to convict Colonel Brand
and sentence him

886
01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:00,710
- Get on with it, Sharpe.
BRAND: I protest

887
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:02,990
This isn't a proper court martial.

888
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:06,910
Oh, come on, Brand. We're doing our best.
There is a bloody war on!

889
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,030
SHARPE: Colonel Brand is no hero

890
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,580
He's a murderer a traitor

891
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:16,750
...and a spy.

892
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,540
I don't know his motives. But I can guess.

893
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:24,670
I suspect you'll find he has debts back home.

894
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:29,590
Mortgage, gambling debts, maybe a blackmailer
he has to pay off Who knows?

895
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:35,390
Maybe he was just mad for money.
Sold his soul for French gold.

896
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:39,510
I demand the death penalty

897
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,710
That concludes the case for the prosecution.

898
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:47,030
Captain Crake, do you have anything to say
for the defense?

899
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,390
Nothing in his defense.

900
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:53,670
Nothing in mine.

901
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:56,110
Colonel Brand, do you wish to say something?

902
01:23:56,200 --> 01:24:00,270
Do you really think
anyone in London will stand for this?

903
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:02,430
You know how it'll look.

904
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:05,350
A zealous officer being persecuted

905
01:24:05,440 --> 01:24:07,470
by small and petty men

906
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:10,430
The Frogs, sir. Frog column advancing!

907
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:23,270
Prince of Wales's Own Volunteers

908
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,350
we'll give 'em three volleys.

909
01:24:25,440 --> 01:24:27,390
Then fire at will.

910
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:31,750
Then we'll give 'em cold steel.

911
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:44,310
Push the ladders back!

912
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:20,790
Take their satchel bombs, six-second fuse.

913
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:29,550
They're six-second fuses.

914
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:54,950
En avant!

915
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,310
They're running lads! They're running!

916
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:26,190
(Cheering)

917
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:38,710
- They'll be back.
- I'm getting too old for this, sir.

918
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:42,710
- Never say die, Hagman.
- (Hagman gasps)

919
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:47,870
Too old, are you, Hagman?

920
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:52,470
Here.

921
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:58,030
The court martial has reached its verdict.

922
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:02,710
Colonel Brand has been convicted on six counts
of murder and has been sentenced to death.

923
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:06,950
The sentence to be carried out in a manner
to be determined at a later date.

924
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:11,430
In other words, when we get out of here.
If we get out of here.

925
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:13,470
Court martial dismissed.

926
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:22,110
Guilty. Sentence is death.

927
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:25,390
Wellington'll have to
confirm that sentence, Crake.

928
01:27:25,480 --> 01:27:27,550
And they'll never make it back to camp.

929
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:31,990
Well, you've had your fun, Sharpe.

930
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:35,430
But it'll be over in the next few minutes
when the Frogs come over the wall.

931
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:37,310
Then you'll need a friend

932
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:42,470
I'll be your friend, but you're going
to have to beg. Because they'll torture you.

933
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:44,430
They'll torture you and torture Ross

934
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:48,190
You'll be begging me to make them stop.

935
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:50,710
And, by God, I'm going to make you beg,
Sharpe!

936
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:56,270
(Fading yell and splash)

937
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:11,030
- Did you see that, Harper?
- Who, me? No, I saw nothing, sir.

938
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,420
Did you see what happened to Colonel Brand?

939
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:18,350
Oh, he's a funny fish, sir. I just saw him jump
headlong into the wishing well.

940
01:28:18,440 --> 01:28:21,310
Why do you think
he'd want to do something like that, sir?

941
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:23,350
Thank you, Harper.

942
01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:27,750
(Orders shouted in French)

943
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,190
You shouldn't have done that, Sharpe.

944
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:42,310
Yes, I should.

945
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:48,020
Pyecroft thinks he's found a way out.

946
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:49,790
A tunnel that leads out onto the hill.

947
01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:54,740
Trouble is... we'll need a garrison to provide
a rearguard, let the rest of us get away.

948
01:28:57,720 --> 01:28:59,670
I think I can find that garrison.

949
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,630
How would you like to die like soldiers?

950
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:21,190
- Good luck, Crake.
- Good luck, Sharpe.

951
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:26,830
SHARPE: Come on! Come on!

952
01:29:29,440 --> 01:29:31,390
Come on!

953
01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:39,590
It blows in ten minutes, Sharpe.

954
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:50,430
310... 311... 312...

955
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:54,270
Right, lads! Let's show these Frogs how to fight!
Show the Colors.

956
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:21,870
Down, lads!

957
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:33,630
581... 582

958
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:38,030
...583... 584...

959
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:42,860
...585... 586...

960
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:45,790
587... 588...

961
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:58,430
598... 599...

962
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:01,030
home.

963
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:05,110
- 601... 602...
- This time you cut them too long, Septimus.

964
01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:06,950
(Pyecroft chuckles)

965
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:30,390
Non!

966
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:48,390
How about a song, Hagman?

967
01:31:48,480 --> 01:31:51,830
Arma virumque cano... summat.

968
01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:55,790
- Sing of arms and the man.
- Very impressive, Sharpe.

969
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,340
It's of a gentleman soldier

970
01:31:58,440 --> 01:32:00,900
As a sentry he did stand

971
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:06,350
He kindly saluted a fair maid
by the waving of his hand

972
01:32:06,440 --> 01:32:11,110
So boldly then he kissed her
and he passed it as a joke

973
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:16,790
And he drilled her into his sentry box
wrapped up in a soldier's cloak

974
01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:49,260
(Laughs)

975
01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:08,350
(Belches)

976
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:11,590
I dreamed of you last night...

977
01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:15,030
...and the muse came to me.

978
01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:18,580
And I... wrote you this poem.

979
01:33:20,480 --> 01:33:22,030
I trust you will not be offended.

980
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:27,740
I dreamed of you... how shall I say...

981
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:32,110
...undraped.

982
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:35,430
Oh, Mr. Shellington.

983
01:33:36,480 --> 01:33:38,510
I don't know if I dare let you read it.

984
01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:49,470
"My Love in her attire... doth show her wit,

985
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:53,230
It doth so well become her.

986
01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:57,670
For every season she has dressings fit,

987
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:01,390
For winter, spring, and summer.

988
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:04,990
No beauty she doth miss

989
01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:07,990
When all her robes are on...

990
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:10,030
HARRIS: But beauty's self she is

991
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:12,350
When all her robes are gone."

992
01:34:12,440 --> 01:34:13,790
A fine poem.

993
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:17,790
First published as A Poetical Rhapsody in 1602

994
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:21,190
Originally attributed to Anonymous
of all people

995
01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:24,670
But, personally, I think it was written
by Francis Davison.

996
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:27,140
Francis Davison, eh?

997
01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:31,310
I'm so sorry.

998
01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:35,270
We poets share a common muse.

999
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:40,510
Poetry is like an apple tree.

1000
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:45,270
And we poets, like birds of the air,

1001
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:48,310
alight and feed on it where we may.

1002
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:10,590
Francis Davison, eh?

1003
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:14,870
Wrote it on a candlefly, did he?

1004
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:21,350
"Light to the silly fly,

1005
01:35:21,440 --> 01:35:26,300
To the dear light I fly of your disdainful eyes,

1006
01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:28,350
But in a diverse wise

1007
01:35:28,440 --> 01:35:31,030
She with the flame doth play

1008
01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:33,790
By night alone

1009
01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:37,470
And I, both night and day."

1010
01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:43,030
That's me.

1011
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:46,800
A silly fly drawn to the candlelight.

1012
01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:52,030
I nearly got my wings burned, didn't I, Harris?

1013
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:55,230
I don't think so. He's not that hot.

1014
01:36:01,160 --> 01:36:03,110
I know you. How are you, then?

1015
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:18,990
Anything to report, Rifleman Harris?

1016
01:36:19,080 --> 01:36:21,030
Nothing serious, sir.

1017
01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:24,470
Small skirmish.
He went off with his tail between his legs.

1018
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:29,750
You're relieved of guard duty, Harris.

1019
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:31,750
Return to your unit.

1020
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:33,790
Yes, sir! Thank you, sir.

1021
01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:41,510
- Good to see you, lad.
- Likewise, Dan.

1022
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:45,750
Well done, Harris.

1023
01:37:39,160 --> 01:37:41,620
Is he dead, Patrick?

1024
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,790
He'll never lay a hand on you again. Ever.

1025
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:49,070
OFFICER: Corporal take your men
to the quartermaster

1026
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:53,590
Did you think of me?

1027
01:37:57,840 --> 01:37:59,790
All the time?

1028
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:05,150
All the time.

1029
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:13,710
When we get back to England...

1030
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:16,710
...it will be like this.

1031
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:19,750
All the time.

1032
01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:24,230
We'll have a house with a garden.

1033
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:27,910
We'll have friends to stay.

1034
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:31,950
We could read books together.

1035
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:35,470
Play the piano.

1036
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:37,510
(Bugle)

1037
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:43,750
One day.

1038
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:55,390
- Well done, Pyecroft.
- My lord.

1039
01:38:55,480 --> 01:38:58,550
No problems with the explosives this time, Ross?

1040
01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:02,870
No, sir. Horse Guards will need to know
about Colonel Brand, sir.

1041
01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:07,070
Tell them he died a hero's death
and let's get on with the war.

1042
01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:09,110
- My lord.
- Gentlemen.

1043
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:20,580
# Here's forty shillings on the drum

1044
01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:24,230
# To those who'll volunteer to come

1045
01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:28,340
# To 'list and fight the foe today

1046
01:39:28,440 --> 01:39:31,590
# Over the hills and far away

1047
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:36,150
# O'er the hills and o'er the main

1048
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:41,030
# Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain

1049
01:39:41,480 --> 01:39:44,830
# King George commands and we obey

1050
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:49,030
# Over the hills and far away
