Beau Geste - Episode Five (28 November 1982)

With the Geste brothers reunited in the French Foreign Legion in the previous episode, this episode gives a bit of space to look a bit more deeply into some of the characters, particularly Francesco Boldini (Stefan Gryff) and Sergeant Major Lejaune (John Forgeham). The 2 have history together, we learn that Boldini had previously worked under Lejaune in the Belgian Congo before serving together in the Foreign Legion, where Lejaune was criticized for his brutality towards the native workers.

It has become clear by now that Boldini is a real sneaky snake and the Geste brothers want nothing further to do with him while the others resent that Boldini never has to do any of the hard jobs. Beau (Benedict Taylor) has passed out as the best recruit and seems to have a promising career ahead of him in the Legion with promotion possible, but it's apparent Lejaune is waiting for a chance for him to slip up and when Boldini tells Lejaune what he overheard the brothers talking about regarding the Blue Water, Lejaune wants him to steal the Blue Water as a chance to get Beau into trouble...

To this end, Boldini attempts to recruit fellow legionnaires Colonna (Jonathan Burn) and Guantaio (Nadio Fortune), but when they refuse to help, Lejaune instead pressures Bolidar (Jon Rumney), a pickpocket before joining the Legion to steal it instead, however Maris (John Moreno) had overheard Boldini's earlier conversation with Colonna and Guantaio and has warned the Geste brothers of the planned theft...

Another extremely solid episode that ticks along nicely with a good amount of suspense and once again I must praise Stefan Gryff and John Forgeham's performances as Boldini and Lejaune with Gryff being appropriately slimy and scheming as Boldini and Forgeham excellent at portraying Lejaune's cold brutality.

Also it's nice to see that the ladies back home in England at Brandon Abbas have not been forgotten about with a brief scene as Claudia (Julia Chambers) suspects that Lady Brandon (Wendy Williams) did not send for the police over the Blue Water theft because she doesn't want Beau to be sent to prison.

The episode ends with Lejaune announcing that a tribal uprising in Sudan means the Legion will be sent to the isolated desert Fort Zinderneuf where men are said to go mad, the plot is moving forward nicely and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

Ernest Hemingway disait que, dans nos moments les plus sombres, nous n’avons pas besoin de solutions ni de conseils. Nous cherchons simplement un contact humain : une présence calme, une douce caresse. Ce sont ces petits gestes qui deviennent nos ancrages, nous aidant à rester à flot quand la vie semble trop dure. N’essaie pas de me changer ni de porter ma douleur. Ne repousse pas mes ombres. Accompagne-moi dans mes tempêtes intérieures. Sois cette main ferme vers laquelle je peux me tourner lorsque je chercherai mon chemin. Ma douleur m’appartient, et moi seul peux la porter. Mes batailles relèvent de ma responsabilité. Mais ta présence me rappelle que je ne suis pas seul dans ce monde parfois effrayant. C’est un signe silencieux que je mérite d’être aimé, même lorsque je me sens brisé. Dans ces heures sombres où je perds mon cap, seras-tu là pour moi ? Pas comme un sauveur, mais comme un compagnon. Tiens ma main jusqu’à l’aube et rappelle-moi ma force. Ton soutien silencieux est le plus beau cadeau. L’amour qui m’aide à retrouver qui je suis, même quand je l’oublie.
