Archie's Escape: An Alternate Ending to Horatio Hornblower: Retribution

Well, the title is pretty much self explanatory. Although it may be slightly misleading. The title says alternate ending, but this is what really happens. You just don't see it in the movie. Archie is not, I repeat, NOT dead. What? No, I'm not just in denial. Shut up. Anyways, this is for all my fellow Archie-lovers. (He's totally mine by the way!)

(A/N: If you have not watched Horatio Hornblower: Retribution, then this may not make much sense to you. So, I highly recommend going and watching it. Actually, Retribution won't make much sense if you haven't seen the whole Hornblower series. So, go and watch the whole series through Retribution. I can give you episode names if you need them. Don't worry, it'll be worth it - best series ever! Also btws, I know the title is really lame so if you can help me think of a better one, I'd appreciate it!)
