Sharpe Finds The Traitor | Sharpe

__

In the Peninsular War, a British sergeant is field promoted to a lieutenant in charge of a disrespectful rifle company.

Forgiving a good man his past faults and recognising his trauma.
That’s friending.

[alexkrycek]

I will say it again. James Purefoy is an amazing actor. Loved how he played Speirs and am pleased they made his character more sympathetic compared to what he was like in the book.

[skippymagrue]

James Purefoy is amazingly underrated. He's so good!

"For England, Sharpe?"

"No. For me."

[drake]

This was the one episode where Sharpe gets along great with the officiers, and they all end up dead! Damn it!

[WickedKingLycoan]

He gives him an opportunity to redeem himself at the point of an honorable death. Commendable. Very Commendable.

All my life I have been afraid of defeat. Now that its come...it's not so bad. The sun still shines. Water still tastes good.

[Civmiiuydux]

One of my favorite scenes in the whole series. "I had spent the whole coin of courage."

[pspicer]

" _yes Richard, I do believe I can_ ...". Redemption at its finest.

[Zoras]

Giving a broken traitor a chance to redeem themselves honorably, now that's soldiering.

Jack tilted when he should have withdrew. And that was knightly, too.

[DamienSteiner-omof]

Jack redeems himself with distinction & honour. The one man version of the Light Brigade. I was roaring him on & he died a hero who performed a noble deed. Perhaps the hest TV series & it shows we will die for our country. Awesome acting by all & thanks to our French friends for this show to truly shine 🎉

[bokehintheussr]

He's probably a bit too old now but Purefoy would've made a great James Bond.

[HenriHerbert]

All this because Harris needed a book to use as loo roll.

[Cozza]

The best acted scene in the entire series

[EbonAvatar]

Marc Antony seems unusually quiet and reserved here

[christophernewman]

"l had spent the whole coin of courage"
Now that's spending...

[tonyk.]

One of the best episodes in the series by far!!!

[davesy]

Dipping a thin strip of hot buttered toast into a soft boiled runny egg, that's soldiering.
