Horatio Hornblower (TV series)/Tear Jerker

Tear Jerkers in  include:


 * Horatio saying goodbye to Archie, after he confessed to pushing Captain Sawyer into the hold to save Hornblower from hanging. "Just take what I have to offer... and say goodbye." Sniffle.
 * Not only that scene, but a few scenes before, just after the battle has ended. Complete with some in-universe Mood Whiplash. The audience saw Archie get shot, but Horatio didn't, and as soon as the battle is over he and Archie are chatting, poking a bit of fun at Buckland ... then Horatio looks over at his friend, notices, asks "Is that your blood?" and it goes downhill from there.
 * "Sniffle". That whole plot twist. And that scene in The Wrong War when Major Edrington tells Archie gently, "And just ... take care of him [Horatio]." Though it's a Tear Jerker in itself, it certainly makes the "goodbye" scene more painful in hindsight.
