- While held hostage, Sharpe receives an unexpected proposition from Col. Count Vladimir Dragomirov.
From Sharpe's Peril: On their way home to England, Richard Sharpe and Patrick Harper reluctantly agree to escort Marie-Angelique Bonnet to the hill fort of Kalimgong, where her fiancé, Major Joubert is stationed. They encounter a baggage train heading to Madras, made up of soldiers from the King's and the East India Company's armies, commanded by the young Ensign Beauclere, engineer Major Tredinnick, and Subedar Pillai.
Arriving at Kalimgong, Sharpe and Harper find the entire garrison killed, with the exception of the fort's commander, General Sir Henry Simmerson, Sharpe's old enemy. Strung up naked in the courtyard, Simmerson's mind is addled with the heat and he seems to only speak nonsense, such as "save the harvest." Major Joubert is not among the dead, to Marie-Angelique's relief, but neither are the Company ledgers that reveal what has been stolen from the fort. The Subedar dies.
Continuing on, the train finds a farming village destroyed by bandits, the entire harvest stolen, and everyone dead but a young girl who witnessed the attack. Between what the girl saw and Simmerson's addled ramblings, Sharpe realises that not only were these people growing opium for the Company, but Colonel Count Dragomirov and Major Joubert were responsible for the slaughter in the village and at Kalimgong, using bandits as scapegoats.

‘And what is soldiering, Colonel...?’ Dragomirov should read the comments section of these videos, then he’d know what soldiering is.
"What is soldering?"
It's like the writers foresaw the meme to come.
Soldering is joining two metal pieces with melted solder. But you digress.
A soldier asking a soldier about what soldiering is? Now that's soldiering!
A yes the good old soldier asking a soldier about soldiering after a a war soldiering against each other.
High cockolorum in a silk stocking full of shit.... that's not soldiering!
Removing a bladder stone without anesthesia ... now that's cystolitholapaxy!!!
@Richard You'll need it ! 😂
I thought it was kidney stones he had, not bladder stones - though perhaps they're the same thing. Sounds painful and dangerous either way.
I'm no expert in Indian clothing but to me it looks as if Marie-Angelique is dressed as a dancing girl, not a lady. Presumably deliberate on Dragomirov's part.
cant blame him
Soldiering to Old age? Now that's a retirement pension.
Passing a kidney stone in 1817 India? Now THATS soldiering.
Without opium to relieve the pain, THAT's insanity.
Ow! God Save Ireland! Ow!
Achievement Earned:
*Patriotism*
Why is Harper always having to have an operation in the field?
Bad teeth hygiene? Getting shot? Bad diet with to much alcohol? Those might be some of the reason.
@@OlrikMeister That's just the by and by of being Irish
At least this time he won't need to perform the surgery himself.
@@kylekanuck3631 I didn’t wanna say it... but since YOU did then you earned an achievement!
*FILTH!*
Achievement Unlocked: An uneasy feeling
I can feel it in me water I can.
It takes 'step on me' to a whole new level.
Snakes…why'd it have to be snakes?
in the book the movie is partially composed from, Hakeswill is the one who Sharpe puts in a pit of snakes back in their days serving in India. Sharpe's Fortress
Stones? That's God save Irelanding
6 min clip ty!
1:24 Spitting off your wounds, now that's soldiering.
No dislikes? That’s soldiering!
Vald in the thumbnail looks like bald Jim Jefferies
Achievement Earned:
*Roofying*
All of Sharpe’s antagonists in the movies could be Bond villains! This man has achieved his final form as an actual super villain!
Nope, not going to like that.
@@eldorados_lost_searcher You shouldn’t.
I enjoy the Sharpe series
Being late for a Sharpe video because you're delivering food to a family member who's self-isolating?
That's coviding.
(And one of a *very* short list of acceptable excuses!)
@Richard Honoured, sah! **tries to salute without introducing quill to eyeball**
Not too bad so far, cross fingers. Day 5, mild symptoms, still working (from home).
Oi! I was late due to the rigors of duty in the field! Is that not an acceptable reason for being eight hours late?
@@eldorados_lost_searcher At eight hours late you should consider being ashamed of yourself, but we can always make an exception for a bit of genuine soldiering!
Second to comment but couldn’t win against a soldiering comment!! That’s soldiering
2:38 (mostly 2:50) There's a quote in mathematics that they "work for the grudging approbation of a few friends", and this quote hits strangely close to it. I'm not sure how to feel about it.
Those comments certainly hit home for Sharpe, and they echo what he said to Marie-Angelique the night before they were captured. He's had to accept that he's given a lot of his life in the service of rich men getting richer rather than the noble world-saving freedom and democracy stuff he thought at the time he was doing.
Damn near spat out my drink when she appeared in that Indian garb
Harper yelling God Save Ireland while battling stones? Now that's soldeiring
Angeleque Bonnette in classic Indian dress-outfit, she is young and pretty
What is legal murder?
That’s...soldiering.
Another episode of Soldering aye?
What was the other way?
Rule One: Don't piss off the Irish/Yorkshire men.
Looks like Richard Sharpe finally got promoted to Lord of Winterfell.... : /
2:05 you are what? what did sharpe say?
there really is a lot of mumbling in this series.
@Richard dude i'm like 83 years old, give me a break.
God help you if you are depending on CC.
Count Dragomirov. That name belongs in Austin Powers.
God save ireland
