46:45 Suddenly Sharpe has a "valise" rather than a pack. Like a 1970s briefcase. And he actually tells the Colonel that his telescope was given him by Lord Wellington. He doesn't normally mention that, or is that just in the books?
46:55 "Brass plate screwed to it; that's all." 'Brass plate' is in his normal voice, but from that point on it's closer to RP.
49:55 "I'll get it back [his Sergeant's stripes]; be alongside you."
52:40 And it's Sharpe he goes to on his way out of the punishment arena. And Sharpe asks him softly and gently if he's all right. Then teases him because he admits it hurts and he couldn't have taken much more. Sharpe says "Told you" and they smile at each other.
1:09:35 Blimey, Harper looks so young here without his jacket.
1:12:40 "I promise you you'll get your jackets back, your rifles back..." then he looks directly at Harper as he says "and me back."
1:13:15 He doesn't do much of a heel click here when he comes limping into what looks remarkably like a Drill Hall, except that it's got thicker walls than you'd get in such a building in this country. Looks either exhausted or in pain or both. Ah, right, he's been on the glacis all night.
1:15:00 The troops are all lined up for the warning. Sharpe appears to have had a shave and a clean shirt since the previous scene. Presumably that's another constraint on the order in which they shot things, because his state of stubble is definitely relevant to things.
1:21:40 He's putting on the RP again to talk to Windham.
1:26:00 He watches the Forlorn Hope head up the glacis.
1:33:17 As he leaps down the steps inside the walls he looks back to make sure Harper's behind him.
1:33:48 is where he goes completely apeshit, hacking someone to bits.
1:37:15 "I've seen her! I've held her! She might never have known me." So sad.
1:40:35 The look-back is him walking away from the walls and looking back at the pile of bodies in the breach.
