[General Sir Henry Simmerson awaits as Sharpe says his goodbyes]
Leaving us, Sharpe?
Opium's been recovered, land restored to peace. Job's done.
It would appear I owe you my life.
We all make mistakes, Sir Henry.
[Simmerson tries not to laugh, but gives up and grins]
Quite so, quite so. God speed you safe home- Richard. [offers his hand]
[Sharpe hesitates, but decides to shake hands with Sir Henry; he rejoins Harper as they prepare to leave on their horses]
I have now seen it all. Simmerson callin' you "Richard" and shakin' you by the hand.
I think I'd sooner the bastard he were.
Aye, but if Simmerson can change like that, then there's hope for us all. We for home?
Aye. Maybe this time we'll get there.
