0:02:09 > 0:02:13I have urgent business with his excellency the viceroy.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18He is not to be disturbed. I have urgent business with him.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21We have our orders. And I have my oath of allegiance!
0:02:21 > 0:02:26How do they expect a man to sleep? Confound that...
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Oh, it's you, is it? I might have known.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35And what matter is more important than that I should have peace?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Pardon, your excellency. A Dutch ship has crashed off the harbour.- Good.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44- Any survivors?- They were immigrants. - These routine experiences bore me.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50Give me a report in the morning or after my siesta, whichever is later.
0:02:50 > 0:02:56- Forgive me, your excellency, but... - Always buts! What is it now? - The ship was the Golden Maid.
0:02:56 > 0:03:03- Charming name. Goodnight. - The captain requests an audience. He says his is a special case.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09A special plea. Won't your excellency speak with him? The ship's papers.
0:03:09 > 0:03:16When will you people realise that a tropical climate calls for a tropical tempo?
0:03:16 > 0:03:21But no. All I hear is, "Every golden minute has 60 golden seconds."
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Why must it be 60 golden seconds? Why can't it have 30 golden seconds?
0:03:26 > 0:03:32- And why do they have to be gold? Why can't they be silver?- Ahem!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Why don't you tell me these things?
0:03:36 > 0:03:42I do everything myself except take my siesta. That YOU take for me!
0:04:00 > 0:04:05This is the viceroy and governor, his excellency Don Juan Alvarado...
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Excellency, this is Captain Van Horn of the Golden Maid.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Formerly Captain Van Horn of the former Golden Maid, as I see it.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18It's a simple matter I present to you.
0:04:18 > 0:04:25- He means to "your excellency", doesn't he?- Yes, your excellency. - Meaning ME!
0:04:27 > 0:04:31What I wish to discuss with, er... with your excellency...
0:04:31 > 0:04:37I have already been told you have a special plea. Promptly specify it.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Then I'll promptly deny it.
0:04:39 > 0:04:46We are peaceful immigrants on our way to new homes in America. We were blown off course by a hurricane.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Our ship crashed on your rocks...
0:04:49 > 0:04:54Most inconsiderate of my rocks. I shall have them reprimanded(!)
0:04:54 > 0:05:00We wish to repair our ship, buy food, fill our water casks and then proceed.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06- You ask a Spanish town to provision a Dutch ship?- We are in distress.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11And you will be in greater distress, I can assure you.
0:05:11 > 0:05:18The law is quite explicit. It forbids these waters to all ships except those of His Spanish Majesty.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- But we were blown off course!- It is not my fault you're a bad navigator.
0:05:25 > 0:05:32- What's this? - My ship's papers. They constitute a grant of land in a new world.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Well, well, well.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Indeed, a sort of grant or charter to settle on lands in...
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Bless me, in the Carolinas!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50The Carolinas.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56When will people realise they cannot give away what they do not own?
0:05:57 > 0:06:02The Carolinas belong to His Spanish Majesty, not to this English king,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06who so lavishly bestowed them on all the scum of Europe.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- How many of you survived?- About 30. - I could have hoped for more.
0:06:11 > 0:06:17- But even 30 workers are better than none.- We do not wish to remain here.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23Those who are able-bodied I will send to the back country as indentured servants.
0:06:23 > 0:06:29As for yourself, as their leader, I will provide you with a special status,
0:06:29 > 0:06:37so that in years to come it is not inconceivable, with fidelity and diligence, you may become a freeman.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Your excellency does not understand.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45My people are not slaves to be sold by me or bought by anyone.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Your people are trespassers and are for me to dispose of as I see fit.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54In any case, this grant is worthless.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19What a high-strung young man.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Prison, your excellency?- For the time, for we'll hang him later.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I'm obliged to you for your kindness.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Welcome to our little home, mate.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I s'pose you're wondering who we are. That's Swaine.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19A seaman off a British schooner. >
0:08:19 > 0:08:24Uh-uh-uh-uh... He's glad to meet you.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27He can't say it. They cut out his tongue.
0:08:28 > 0:08:35This here's Paree. He landed from France. They say there's a town in France called Paree.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I'm Pillery Gow, just waiting the day they'll hang me.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- For what crime? - For no crime at all, mate.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49We was earning a living sailing our merchant ships where the needs of trade took us,
0:08:49 > 0:08:53till they took us into these waters - our misfortune.
0:08:53 > 0:09:01They captured our ships unarmed and made us prisoners of war. What for? It's more than we know. And you?
0:09:02 > 0:09:07A peaceful voyager, like yourselves, at least I thought I was.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Laurent Van Horn is my name and Holland my country.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16We hoped to leave oppression behind us and settle in the Carolinas.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21We dreamed to build a new home in the New World with freedom for all.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Fire!
0:10:49 > 0:10:54We thought the Barracuda was here, your excellency...
0:10:54 > 0:11:01No more excuses. "We thought the Barracuda was here, your excellency, but he was there." I won't have it!
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- Catch me the Barracuda! - For years we have done...
0:11:05 > 0:11:10I'D do it, but I work 20 hours a day being fitted to meet my bride-to-be,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14while you and your men do not catch the Barracuda.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17We do everything humanly possible...
0:11:17 > 0:11:22If I have to catch him myself, as soon as my honeymoon is over, I...
0:11:22 > 0:11:27- You are to fit me, not to fondle me. - A thousand pardons, sir.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32You'll need them if the cloak drags. I'll send you to a thousand deaths.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36I'll arrange for a bed of hot coals to be started.
0:11:36 > 0:11:43One month from today, this bed will have an occupant, the Barracuda or yourself - the choice is your own.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- You understand? - I do, your excellency.
0:11:46 > 0:11:52- For my cuffs, I think Venetian lace will be nice.- Yes, your excellency.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Or petit point.- Oh, your excellency!
0:12:06 > 0:12:10HE RECITES A LATIN LOVE POEM
0:12:20 > 0:12:27There is another phrasing of that last paragraph, my child, of which you are probably well aware.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32- It's absurd that I'm not allowed to go on deck.- Without your duennas?
0:12:32 > 0:12:37They left me. They got seasick. The air might help. I hope it doesn't.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42They can be unhappy like me, even if it's not for the same reason.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45And what is your reason, my child?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I wish I knew.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- We'll follow the chart when we're ready.- Aye-aye, sir.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Senor Urbisco...
0:12:58 > 0:13:01who is that man?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Why do you ask, my child?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Surely now that I'm about to be married, I...
0:13:07 > 0:13:13Well, I was just wondering if I would find my betrothed as...as handsome...
0:13:13 > 0:13:18My child, you are about to be married, to enter the world...
0:13:18 > 0:13:23Yes, as a bullfighter who has never seen a bull would enter the ring.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Is my betrothed as handsome? - As handsome?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30All viceroys are men of noble bearing.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33You haven't told me who that man is.
0:13:33 > 0:13:40He's a Hollander, a man of many words. The existing order does not meet with his favour.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42My father calls them malcontents.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47The viceroy of Mexico has a gift for precise phrases. A malcontent indeed.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- KNOCK ON DOOR - Come in, Lepita.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Senora Montavo and Senora Perez are at the door of death.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Again? Yesterday and the day before and the day before.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Well, it has been a very heavy sea.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06They beg for final consolation. I will go to them.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11They seem to have found a way to keep from being bored on a sea trip.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Always unhappy about themselves.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19They'd given up everything but the holy faith.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24- Give me your cape.- You aren't going on deck without your duennas?
0:14:24 > 0:14:30Just because they're poor sailors doesn't mean I must be a prisoner.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Come down from aloft!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49A beautiful day.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I addressed you, senor.
0:14:52 > 0:14:59- You're a man of words I'm told, but clearly only when you utter them yourself, because when...- Stop!
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- How dare you?!- 32.
0:15:02 > 0:15:0432.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11- What did you say about my being a man of words?- What are you doing?
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Timing our speed against a cork dropped from above.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21That's something I could never do. I don't think I even have a pulse.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I'll find it for you.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Mmm. Fast.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Much too fast for navigation.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Senor, you're holding my hand.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39And you are holding mine and you are a maid and why not?
0:15:39 > 0:15:46I might have known you'd be without manners and not know your place. After all, a Hollander!
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Worse than English pirates. Your ships should be sunk at sight.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55They are! Pirate or voyager - all the same to a Spaniard.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03If Holland is so distasteful, why do you wear Brabant lace?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Capitan!
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Capitan!- Contessa. What happened?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- He put hands on me. - Why is he permitted here?
0:16:13 > 0:16:20- Working his way into Cartagena. You put hands on the viceroy of Mexico's daughter?- If she says so.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Take him in charge and hang him.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Wait! Er...
0:16:26 > 0:16:31I would not like a corpse dangling beneath my wedding bell.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36I think, Capitan, it will be enough to...to have him whipped.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Then whip him! Seize him to the foremast!
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Sound battle stations! > BUGLE BLOWS
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Prepare for battle. Open the gun ports.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06The cleverest and most daring cut-throat in all the Caribbeans.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10We know him only by the name of his ship, the Barracuda.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14There'll be some nice pickings on that one, sir.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Too sweet a ship for a black-hearted pirate. Look through the spyglass.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22I'll forego the pleasure of admiring it.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27It's death for him to come within range of our guns and he knows it.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Showing himself is merely insolence.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I hope that's his own opinion as well as yours.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37I'd like to see him try it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45At your helm!
0:17:46 > 0:17:49HE SHOUTS COMMANDS
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Hands to the braces.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Starboard guns fire!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Starboard guns fire!
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Not now.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Later.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Fire!
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Below!
0:18:57 > 0:18:59CANNONFIRE
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Quickly, Lepita, help me get him down.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Oh, how could they?!
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Give me water.- Water, Lepita.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27< Fire!
0:19:33 > 0:19:38How could they leave him up there to die in the hot sun?
0:19:38 > 0:19:42What fair skin he has. That wretched captain spoke of hanging him.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46As if men like this grew on every bush, on any bush.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Hello.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Let go of her, you brute! Let go!
0:20:07 > 0:20:12Put me down! Let go of me, you brute! Put me down!
0:20:12 > 0:20:18On my word of honour as the daughter of the grandee of Spain, you'll hang this time!
0:20:18 > 0:20:23- I'd hang you every day for a week! - Call the guard!
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Put me down! Put me down!
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Swaine, to the whip-staff!
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Carry it off!
0:22:14 > 0:22:16CANNONFIRE
0:24:15 > 0:24:20Spare these women violence or suffer the curse of holy church
0:24:20 > 0:24:23on earth and in hell forever.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Well, what do you think of that?!
0:24:26 > 0:24:29My father is the viceroy of Mexico.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33I am Contessa Francesca de Gusmania Regantora.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36That sounds like a lot of wench, don't it?
0:24:36 > 0:24:42Where is your leader? Where is this Barracuda? I demand to speak to him.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47He's on deck. What did you say your name was? Francesca de Gusman-what?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52You will disturb nothing until I have spoken to him.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56He will tell you that you have made a great mistake.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59No... 'Ere, high and mighty, ain't she?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I wish to be taken to your leader.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Which one is the Barracuda?
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Are you the scoundrel who calls himself the Barracuda?
0:25:28 > 0:25:33Alas, no. I am Capitan Mario Du Billar at your service, senorita.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41If you're looking for the Barracuda...
0:25:46 > 0:25:48A thousand apologies.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Permit me.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Stand by to abandon ship!
0:25:54 > 0:25:59Permit me, senorita, to present to you my master - Senor Barracuda.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05- My betrothed is the viceroy of New Granada.- I've known him some time.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09If it takes every ship on the Spanish Main, he'll hang you.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Perhaps. ..Mario, there'll be another ship along soon.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Your head will be our wedding gift to the world.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Put 50,000 pieces of eight into the fund for the others.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26- I'll take this woman for myself. - No woman is worth such a sum.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31That's true, but she happens to be more than just a woman to me.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- She's a score to be settled. - You're mad!- No compliments!
0:26:35 > 0:26:42- Will she stand the rough weather...? - Add the value of the silver bell on the masthead.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45It's a wedding bell. I want it too.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57An odd world - an odd world, truly.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02- One never knows when one is going to be married.- Put me down!
0:27:03 > 0:27:07'Ere, what kind of bilge water is this?
0:27:07 > 0:27:13The grandees drink canary wine. I'm no wine-drinking canary! Give me rum.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Take it away!- Heave!
0:27:15 > 0:27:20- Lively, men, lively! - Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Courage, my child.
0:27:30 > 0:27:3250,000 pieces of eight!
0:27:32 > 0:27:37My friends, I invite you to dance at my wedding.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- When will this wedding take place? - At my leisure.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I promise you one hour's notice!
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Nothing in this world could make me marry you!
0:27:50 > 0:27:53You will accompany me to my cabin.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55THEY ALL LAUGH
0:27:56 > 0:28:00You've no marriage plans for my duennas?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03See that the ladies get safely to their cabins.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- If you please. - Or if you don't please!
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Clear decks for action! Prisoners below!
0:28:12 > 0:28:15HE CONTINUES TO GIVE ORDERS
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Please proceed.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20What are these preparations for?
0:28:20 > 0:28:25- There is a companion ship to the Santa Madre.- San Pablo is in sight!
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- San Pablo? More death and bloodshed! - Hurry if you wish not to see it.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- Senor Barracuda.- What is it now?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- I propose to make a bargain.- Indeed?
0:28:49 > 0:28:52You shall have my hand in marriage.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Your hand in marriage, eh?
0:29:01 > 0:29:04What will you do with the San Pablo?
0:29:04 > 0:29:09Well, we try, but it's almost impossible to think up anything new.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14Take over. Hold her close to the wind. Keep an eye on the San Pablo.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19I will marry you if the San Pablo is allowed to proceed unharmed.
0:29:19 > 0:29:26Don't you realise your hand in marriage AND the San Pablo are mine for the asking.
0:29:26 > 0:29:31A genuine wedding. I will have the Lord Bishop perform the ceremony.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Pillery, hoist the silver bell to the masthead.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39But the San Pablo, Captain? She's an easy victim.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41She will proceed unharmed.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Your attention, please, your lordship.
0:29:54 > 0:30:00I propose to be married immediately, as soon as you can robe yourself.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Why, I will profane no sacrament.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- Be not afraid, my child. - But I wish to be.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09If there has been any coercion,
0:30:09 > 0:30:11if it's not of your own free will...
0:30:11 > 0:30:14It IS of my own free will.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17I wish to be married to this man at once.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Take him to the fo'c'sle, Swaine.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25Go to my cabin with your mistress and get her into the wedding gown.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29I'll do nothing you say, you pig!
0:30:29 > 0:30:34You beast! You pig! You swine! You brute! ..You put me down!
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Your highness, walk or ride?
0:31:03 > 0:31:10Will thou have this man to thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance
0:31:10 > 0:31:12in the holy estate of matrimony?
0:31:12 > 0:31:18Will thou obey and serve him, love, honour and keep him in sickness and in health,
0:31:18 > 0:31:24and forsaking all others keep thee only unto him so long as you both shall live?
0:31:24 > 0:31:27I will.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37BANGING AGAINST DOOR
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Why are you still dressed?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52I told you to be in bed.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Brabant lace.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20You will put that on.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Believe me, you will.
0:32:28 > 0:32:34I'm very pleased with myself. I'm sure you share my delight in what a wonderful fellow I am.
0:32:34 > 0:32:41I'm pleased to strip Alvarado of as much gold as I have and to sink as many of his ships as I have,
0:32:41 > 0:32:45but now at last I've deprived him of his bride.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Is that why you married me, senor?
0:32:48 > 0:32:53Perhaps. Perhaps it was the whipping I took or I may be in love with you.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57That's not too unbelievable is it? ..Or is it?
0:32:59 > 0:33:04Anyway, whatever the reason, I've taken you for my wife,
0:33:04 > 0:33:06and my wife you are going to be.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22Was this intended for yourself or for me?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28I meant it for you,
0:33:28 > 0:33:30but I see now I have no need of it.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34There is nothing you can really do to me.
0:33:34 > 0:33:39Neither your touch nor anything you say can be of any consequence.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46After all, I...I have been taught never to mind dogs or peasants.
0:33:46 > 0:33:52If you're completely finished with your declaration of love, your highness,
0:33:52 > 0:33:55you will put that on.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Put that on or I'll throw you to the crew without it.
0:34:18 > 0:34:2450,000 pieces of eight. Are you worth that much? What am I getting in return?
0:34:24 > 0:34:31Francesca de Gusmania Regantora, bearer of one of the proudest Spanish names,
0:34:31 > 0:34:36spoiled in the cradle, schooled in cruelty and stubborn pride,
0:34:36 > 0:34:41and cursed with a vile temper, which you probably perfected yourself.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45No, no, you are no bargain.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58On the other hand, there may be some assets I'm not taking into account.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01If I may make so bold,
0:35:01 > 0:35:03my figure?
0:35:03 > 0:35:09Good. You would bring five thousand in the auction in Algiers. Say, four.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- My hair?- There is fire in it.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16- My eyes?- Cold. I might even say calculating.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19My lips?
0:35:19 > 0:35:24Your lips. They could persuade me that I have made a good bargain.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Anyway, I'm about to begin to count.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31If you aren't ready when I count ten...
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I am ready.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Good night.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51More wine for us, senores. Another slice of roast for his lordship.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56Forgive my wife's absence. She'll learn better manners in time.
0:36:56 > 0:37:03If there's anything you like, I beg you to ask for it. Consider yourself not prisoners, but guests.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Recommend my piracy to your friends when you return home.
0:37:07 > 0:37:15- And when will that be?- As soon as your ransoms are paid. Tomorrow I shall send Alvarado the reckoning.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19- When the money comes, you can go. - And what of the Contessa?
0:37:19 > 0:37:23She will remain my wife. ..Excuse me.
0:37:26 > 0:37:31Close that door! Don't you dare come in while I'm trying to fix my hair!
0:37:31 > 0:37:33CRASH!
0:37:39 > 0:37:44There are habits of the nobility to which one must accustom oneself.
0:37:44 > 0:37:50Under no circumstances can a lady be expected to do her own hair. Send Lepita to her.
0:37:50 > 0:37:55I've a better idea. You're a barber who was deported for blackmail.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59The whole matter can nicely be left in your hands.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01There.
0:38:19 > 0:38:26Pillery, serve our note to the merchants for a public auction at whichever market seems best.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30We meet tonight as usual. I'm going to have a haircut.
0:38:30 > 0:38:37Settlement of accounts tonight at the side of the Turtle. Them as ain't there, ain't paid!
0:38:38 > 0:38:42A good day, my dear Benjamin. I don't think so.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Your venture was unsuccessful? Yes.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50Laurent took the Santa Madre. 5,000 share at the very least.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53And a beautiful bride for himself. So I see!
0:38:53 > 0:38:58You feel perhaps that Tortuga's no place for a lady of her refinement?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01I'm inclined to agree.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Come, Benjamin, let's drink on it.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Pillery, is it more than we expected?
0:39:26 > 0:39:29The best haul we've ever had, sir.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Rum! Bring me rum! Aye-aye, sir.
0:39:36 > 0:39:43Oh, curse these cards! The Barracuda married the girl? Why marry her?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Well, it's eccentric behaviour.
0:39:45 > 0:39:52As a sea lawyer, there's nothing in the articles of brotherhood agin marriage, just a warning!
0:39:52 > 0:39:59Wait until the viceroy of New Granada hears, and sends 20 galleons and an army or two to get his bride back.
0:39:59 > 0:40:05D'you think he'd send all that for a girl? That's out of a bottle, Benjy.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10No, that's one thing that Benjamin's right about. I heard it myself.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12I'm a pirate, not a womaniser.
0:40:12 > 0:40:18I grab a Spaniard's treasure or ship wherever I find it, then I sell it back to him.
0:40:18 > 0:40:24I take my chances. I don't see why I should take the Barracuda's chances.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28What difference, if we can kill twice as many of them?
0:40:28 > 0:40:33We're not afraid of them. He's using us in a private feud.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36I say clear 'em both out of here together -
0:40:36 > 0:40:42him and his high-born wench, before it's too late. What's the law on it?
0:40:42 > 0:40:48According to the articles, a captain can do with his prize any which way he pleases.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51That's on the one hand.
0:40:51 > 0:40:56On the other, prisoners taken at sea are often sent home in good condition
0:40:56 > 0:40:59and earn you more than their weight in ransom.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02That's on the other hand, so...
0:41:02 > 0:41:08He'll send her back, or... That's for the brotherhood to decide, Benjamin.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16MUSIC: "What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor?"
0:41:38 > 0:41:44Guv'nor, you're in the Barracuda's chair. Come on. Give over, will you?
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Rip me, if it's not the Barracuda!
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- Well, where is it? - Sorry, I didn't bring one this trip.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34No lace nightgown? You worthless dog!
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Who's been keeping his feet warm?
0:42:38 > 0:42:40What's this?
0:42:40 > 0:42:45May I present my friend, Anne Bonney? This is my wife, Anne.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Your wife?!
0:42:48 > 0:42:53- He says it's his wife.- The Lord Bishop married us on the Barracuda.
0:42:53 > 0:42:59What'd he do? Catch you in the cable tier and marry you over a pistol?
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Is this true?
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Yes.
0:43:05 > 0:43:11You Dutch codfish! If there was any honest blood in you, I'd let it out at your throat.
0:43:11 > 0:43:16If I'd thought you'd known the word "marriage", and marriage to that -
0:43:16 > 0:43:19a powdered, prissy trollop!
0:43:20 > 0:43:23Broad in the beam!
0:43:25 > 0:43:28Soft in the chest.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34Let's look at your teeth.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41Say your prayers, my pretty.
0:43:48 > 0:43:53- Drop it!- I don't need protection and certainly not against her!
0:43:53 > 0:43:58As if any of your kind had the courage to fight your own battles!
0:43:58 > 0:44:03You're the nobility, hiding behind your paid protection.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05I'll slit you like a pigeon!
0:44:05 > 0:44:08I'm sure you'd rather fight pigeons.
0:44:08 > 0:44:15- Would you stand before me the length of that table with pistols in our hands?- I've the mind and heart to!
0:44:17 > 0:44:19That's enough!
0:44:19 > 0:44:24What do YOU say? Am I to be struck by his ducksy without satisfaction?
0:44:24 > 0:44:28You'll get satisfaction from me, if you want it.
0:44:28 > 0:44:35Parties striking each other are to be armed and set ashore for 30 minutes without interference.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38We'll do it without interference!
0:44:38 > 0:44:43Not so fast, Benjamin! This will be no duel. It would be murder.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47Have you ever fired a pistol?
0:44:47 > 0:44:48No.
0:44:48 > 0:44:53Francesca, your honour will be no good to you when you are dead.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57Shake hands with Anne. Drink with us and be friends.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01Anne, for my sake, forgive her.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04Does she crawl and beg me to?
0:45:04 > 0:45:05No.
0:45:05 > 0:45:10You heard what he said, without interference from no others!
0:45:13 > 0:45:16You're right. It will be as they wish.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Your pistol, Manuel.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24And yours, Captain Strangford.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35I will load them...equally.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46Bless you.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Steady.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55Think, Laurent, what chance will your wife have?
0:45:55 > 0:45:59The same chance as Anne. ..Your pigeon has claws, Anne.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03Only eagles have claws, and she's no eagle.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11Will you two do without this madness?
0:46:11 > 0:46:13No.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15Very well, then.
0:46:15 > 0:46:19According to the rules, the injured party first.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21That's me.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40Move back.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42Get ready.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53Take aim.
0:46:54 > 0:46:59I will ask once if you are ready and then give the word.
0:46:59 > 0:47:03Aw, make her hold it steady with both hands.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06I don't wanna be made a honeycomb of.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11- Are you ready?- Ready, my friend.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14Ready.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16Fire!
0:47:24 > 0:47:28You Dutch codfish, chimney soot in the pistols!
0:47:30 > 0:47:32ANNE LAUGHS
0:47:34 > 0:47:38I might have known you'd do a trick like this.
0:47:54 > 0:47:59Teach you not to marry anyone who can't see a joke.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03I think you are right, Anne.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07If I had chosen you...
0:48:21 > 0:48:24The joke seems not to your taste.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27You and your Spanish strumpet!
0:48:27 > 0:48:29And what else, Benjamin?
0:48:31 > 0:48:34Pack her back where she came from!
0:48:34 > 0:48:37I am waiting. What's your grievance?
0:48:37 > 0:48:43She'll have the Spanish Main upon us. We want no more of her...or you!
0:48:46 > 0:48:50Does this scum speak for the brotherhood?
0:48:50 > 0:48:52Are you my jury? Have I been tried?
0:48:52 > 0:48:56- Any man as asks to hear... - You'll hear me, anyway.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59What's my offence, truly?
0:48:59 > 0:49:05Let me tell you. It is that I hate the tyrant with all my breath and spirit.
0:49:05 > 0:49:09In Cartegena long ago I took an oath,
0:49:09 > 0:49:12to prise fingers loose as far as one man might,
0:49:12 > 0:49:15until he lost his grasp,
0:49:15 > 0:49:21so that others coming after me might find in a new world what I had sought.
0:49:21 > 0:49:25Well, the Spaniard begins to feel us now.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28His ships go armed and still he loses them.
0:49:28 > 0:49:33We even have to find ways now to coax him out to fight.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35She will bring Alvarado out.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38And I'll be ready for him.
0:49:38 > 0:49:46As if that's the crime you see fit to charge me with, I plead guilty. Guilty in the highest degree!
0:49:46 > 0:49:48- Laurent!- No!
0:50:07 > 0:50:11Your teeth are chattering, Benjamin. Are you afraid?
0:50:11 > 0:50:18You can have your life, for what it's worth, but get out of Tortuga before the morning.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20I warn you!
0:50:29 > 0:50:32- Gangway! - THEY ALL CHEER
0:50:59 > 0:51:01KNOCK ON DOOR
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Who is it?
0:51:03 > 0:51:06Your husband, remember?
0:51:17 > 0:51:21I felt there was something I ought to say to you,
0:51:21 > 0:51:25but I am a little afraid you will misunderstand.
0:51:25 > 0:51:28You said I was brought up to be an ornament.
0:51:28 > 0:51:34- You couldn't expect an ornament to understand.- That's just it.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37- You ARE an ornament.- Thank you(!)
0:51:37 > 0:51:42I admired you at the Sea Turtle. You had dignity, a sense of fitness,
0:51:42 > 0:51:44- courage...- And?
0:51:45 > 0:51:47And I was proud of you.
0:51:47 > 0:51:51The Senor Barracuda is very gracious(!)
0:51:51 > 0:51:54Do not be sarcastic about all I say.
0:51:54 > 0:51:58You mean that occasionally you say what you genuinely mean?
0:52:00 > 0:52:02I've a suggestion.
0:52:02 > 0:52:06Let us both be genuine with each other.
0:52:06 > 0:52:13About the Sea Turtle, I might have been offended tonight if I HAD been your wife,
0:52:13 > 0:52:18- but, after all, that woman, that... What's her name?- You know her name.
0:52:19 > 0:52:25Very well. Anne Bonney. You put the soot in the pistols to protect her as well.
0:52:25 > 0:52:29Anne was my dearest friend until I met you.
0:52:32 > 0:52:37I don't know what purpose you could have in telling me that,
0:52:37 > 0:52:40unless you really mean it.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47I do mean it.
0:52:47 > 0:52:51Please...please don't make me believe you again.
0:52:51 > 0:52:58Last night when you left me here, you didn't mean it then, you couldn't have.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00Why did you leave?
0:53:01 > 0:53:04If you had stayed...
0:53:04 > 0:53:09When I captured the Santa Madre and you, and decided to marry you,
0:53:09 > 0:53:16I wasn't sure whether I did it out of contempt, for revenge against Alvarado, but now I know.
0:53:16 > 0:53:20I want you to be my wife... really my wife.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26- Laurent...- Yes?
0:53:30 > 0:53:32Why?
0:53:36 > 0:53:39Tell me, why?
0:53:44 > 0:53:46Careful, you scum.
0:53:53 > 0:54:00And you, Dutchman, tell your bride goodbye. She's off to Cartegena on the turn of the tide.
0:54:00 > 0:54:05Do forgive me. What I do is not for my own choice, but for your own good,
0:54:05 > 0:54:07and in the name of the brotherhood.
0:54:08 > 0:54:14Mario's steering your ship, Bonney's in charge of your wife and you're staying in Tortuga,
0:54:14 > 0:54:17whether you like it or not.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19Laurent!
0:54:19 > 0:54:22That's enough. Stop the wench. >
0:54:28 > 0:54:32I'm beginning to think the Spanish witch had a spell on you.
0:54:32 > 0:54:36Soak me if I don't believe it's that nightgown!
0:54:40 > 0:54:43FRANCESCA SCREAMS
0:54:49 > 0:54:52Take him ashore!
0:54:59 > 0:55:02ORDERS ARE SHOUTED
0:55:14 > 0:55:19We'll fire a cannon when we leave the harbour, then cut him loose and run.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Sit down!
0:55:35 > 0:55:37Anchor up and all clear!
0:55:45 > 0:55:49Take them to Barracuda. Get the crew going to Cobra.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52We sail in an hour. Aye.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Be careful, Senor Barracuda.
0:56:04 > 0:56:09- We wish no harm on you. - I'll remember your thoughtfulness.
0:56:09 > 0:56:13You will remember it too to the end of your days.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16I'll take over. What do you want?
0:56:16 > 0:56:20Him. Leave us alone. He'll trouble you no more.
0:56:20 > 0:56:27Benjy, you've been drinking too much. There'll be no murder here. Now, put down that pistol or I'll...
0:56:30 > 0:56:33Hold it, Dutchman.
0:56:33 > 0:56:37You're a very brave man, Benjy, aren't you?
0:56:37 > 0:56:41I don't think I'll dirty my steel on you.
0:56:56 > 0:56:57Swaine!
0:57:29 > 0:57:34Strike me if it ain't the spitting image of the Barracuda.
0:57:34 > 0:57:38- The Barracuda's in bed... - Quick, Pillery, untie me!
0:57:38 > 0:57:43Why, it IS the Barracuda! Do you hear? It's the Barracuda!
0:58:00 > 0:58:04- Are you hurt, Swaine? - Uh-uh-uh-uh.
0:58:04 > 0:58:10He means that we can handle a dozen like Black any time you say. CANNONFIRE
0:58:10 > 0:58:17- What's that?- That's a signal that my friend, Du Billar, got clean away with my wife and my ship.
0:58:17 > 0:58:20He stole your wife and your ship?
0:58:20 > 0:58:25That's truly accommodating of Benjy, to leave his ship where we need it.
0:58:25 > 0:58:32- The Cobra'll never overhaul the Barracuda.- She can get us to Cartegena and that is all I need.
0:58:44 > 0:58:49I would have used my power and freed you even before this,
0:58:49 > 0:58:55but our tropical fruit must be eaten when picked or else they become worthless.
0:58:55 > 0:58:59- He did her no harm, did he? - Apparently not, your excellency.
0:58:59 > 0:59:05Murderous words. I prefer to believe I heard you say "indubitably not".
0:59:06 > 0:59:09La Contessa Francesca de Gusmania Regantora.
0:59:31 > 0:59:33Welcome to Cartegena.
0:59:33 > 0:59:39The Lord Bishop is informed of your capture and of your brave trials and tribulations.
0:59:39 > 0:59:43- Why not tell me she was beautiful? - I did.
0:59:43 > 0:59:47Why not tell me she's more beautiful than you did?
0:59:47 > 0:59:54I've also been told, my child, of an alleged marriage between yourself and this Barracuda.
0:59:54 > 0:59:56I hold it to be no marriage at all.
0:59:56 > 1:00:01What I hold anything not to be automatically becomes...
1:00:01 > 1:00:05Any man who adopts the nom de plume of a fish!
1:00:05 > 1:00:10- You could petition for annulment. - But that would take months.
1:00:10 > 1:00:14- On the average, about 18.- 18 months!
1:00:14 > 1:00:19I refuse to wait like a beggar with my hat in my hand for 18 months.
1:00:19 > 1:00:24- There is no reason why we should not be married tomorrow.- Tomorrow?
1:00:24 > 1:00:27Yesterday, unfortunately, is impossible.
1:00:27 > 1:00:34Today, I will devote my attention to the task of making myself even more personable for you.
1:00:34 > 1:00:37Tomorrow, I have the entire day free.
1:00:37 > 1:00:40We shall be married tomorrow.
1:00:40 > 1:00:47But a girl has so many things to consider, your excellency. Suppose I found myself with two husbands.
1:00:47 > 1:00:52A pirate can never be regarded as a husband, except by another pirate.
1:00:52 > 1:00:54And now, Contessa, I beg your leave.
1:00:54 > 1:00:59I'll attend to all the arrangements for the wedding feast and banquet.
1:00:59 > 1:01:05I have people to be hanged who cannot be hanged without my signature.
1:01:05 > 1:01:08I will be back shortly.
1:01:09 > 1:01:11Come along.
1:01:14 > 1:01:17Ah, we'll make a beautiful couple!
1:01:23 > 1:01:27You told me he was a man of noble bearing.
1:01:27 > 1:01:30A man of noble...? Oh, I did, didn't I?
1:01:30 > 1:01:33Well, he's not. He's fat.
1:01:33 > 1:01:37Can't you regard him as just pleasingly plump?
1:01:37 > 1:01:41- My poor Lord Bishop! - RATTLING
1:01:42 > 1:01:44My child, you are a bad influence.
1:01:44 > 1:01:49I was to authorise several people to be hanged. Instead I became soft.
1:01:49 > 1:01:52They'll be turned on the rack instead.
1:01:52 > 1:01:56Well, is my little bride all a-flutter?
1:01:56 > 1:02:02I must counsel that she return home and your marriage be postponed.
1:02:02 > 1:02:06I'm sure your advice is sound, however I will ignore it.
1:02:06 > 1:02:14Commandante, we will apply the word "beautiful" to all the ladies who have appeared on these premises.
1:02:14 > 1:02:18You will invent a word meaning more than beautiful,
1:02:18 > 1:02:22which will be applied exclusively to la Contessa Francesca.
1:02:22 > 1:02:2518 months!
1:02:25 > 1:02:27It's absurd!
1:02:27 > 1:02:33If I may remind your excellency, I've made my decision. I am returning home to my father.
1:02:33 > 1:02:38- You're in error. We will not discuss it.- I insist on returning home.
1:02:38 > 1:02:43It is a mistake to insist upon a decision one's powerless to enforce.
1:02:43 > 1:02:48It was your father's wish that you and I be married.
1:02:48 > 1:02:50I assume it is your true wish too.
1:02:50 > 1:02:54What have you done with the pirates who brought them?
1:02:54 > 1:03:01- They are still aboard the ship. - I desire to see them. I will honour them with my personal attention.
1:03:01 > 1:03:05Pray, excuse me, my child. ..And you, your lordship.
1:03:05 > 1:03:09Your excellency, I will accompany you.
1:03:09 > 1:03:13You're already acquiring a taste for my company. Good.
1:03:13 > 1:03:16By all means, come along.
1:03:41 > 1:03:48So this is the Barracuda? I fancy her as well as any other of our own armada, perhaps better.
1:03:48 > 1:03:53I agree. With some alteration, it would make a good ship of war.
1:03:53 > 1:03:58The elimination of Senor Barracuda's enough to convert her for my needs -
1:03:58 > 1:04:00a vessel for my private pleasure.
1:04:00 > 1:04:07She may put out to sea carrying you on your honeymoon in the arms of your beloved.
1:04:08 > 1:04:13If my reference to your beloved is vague, I refer to myself.
1:04:35 > 1:04:38Bless me, it's a woman!
1:04:38 > 1:04:41So I am, hogshead, but what are you?
1:04:41 > 1:04:47I must decide whether you hang or burn at the stake. It's a difficult choice.
1:04:47 > 1:04:51- I promised them safe conduct back to Tortuga.- You did?
1:04:51 > 1:04:56I would have done the same thing and I wouldn't have kept my word.
1:04:56 > 1:05:01- I see no reason to keep yours.- When I give my word, it should be kept.
1:05:01 > 1:05:08- There is no such thing as a word of honour as far as this rubbish is concerned.- My word MUST be kept.
1:05:08 > 1:05:11You shall have your way.
1:05:11 > 1:05:16They are to be kept under guard until returned to their own pirates.
1:05:16 > 1:05:21- Does that satisfy you?- I have your word for it?- You have.- Thank you.
1:05:21 > 1:05:25Commandante, you will escort the Contessa to the gangway.
1:05:31 > 1:05:33Thank you.
1:05:34 > 1:05:39Take this riff-raff, shackled if necessary, to prison.
1:05:39 > 1:05:45Keep them there until I decide if they are to burnt at the stake separately or together.
1:05:45 > 1:05:48I should have cut your...!
1:05:48 > 1:05:52What uncouth language! Take her away.
1:05:58 > 1:06:00You...!
1:06:03 > 1:06:08- Your excellency.- Who are you?- Mario Du Billar. You must have heard of me.
1:06:08 > 1:06:13- Indeed I have. You shall be hanged. - I restored your excellency's bride.
1:06:13 > 1:06:16Your excellency jokes undoubtedly.
1:06:17 > 1:06:20- Hanged?- Only by the thumbs.
1:06:20 > 1:06:23The Contessa Francesca pledged me...
1:06:23 > 1:06:29You should learn that no-one as low-born as yourself may ever have the presumption
1:06:29 > 1:06:32to rely on the viceroy's daughter.
1:06:32 > 1:06:37- Now what? - Unknown schooner of English build is moving along the coast.
1:06:37 > 1:06:40The Cobra. Of course!
1:06:40 > 1:06:43The Barracuda's on board her.
1:06:43 > 1:06:45Now, what made me say that?
1:06:46 > 1:06:51Senor Barracuda and I have had our misunderstandings but he's my friend.
1:06:51 > 1:06:57I'd rather be hanged at once than tempted to betray him on his arrival here.
1:06:57 > 1:07:04- My, you're a scoundrel. What evidence have you that the Barracuda's aboard the Cobra?- None.
1:07:04 > 1:07:08- Why do you...? - Because I know the man.
1:07:08 > 1:07:13He will not rest until he frees the women, or is killed in the attempt.
1:07:13 > 1:07:18The latter alternative is the more likely and the more satisfactory.
1:07:18 > 1:07:25If you were of assistance in bringing this Barracuda within the sphere of my benevolent custody,
1:07:25 > 1:07:28you might avoid hanging altogether.
1:07:28 > 1:07:33- A service like that is worth, er... - You have conditions to suggest?
1:07:33 > 1:07:39The Contessa promised 50,000 pieces of eight and the Order of the Golden Spur.
1:07:39 > 1:07:42Your impudence is almost engaging.
1:07:42 > 1:07:4950,000 pieces of eight it shall be and the Order of the Golden Spur, on my honour as an hidalgo of Spain.
1:07:49 > 1:07:51I thank your excellency.
1:07:51 > 1:07:58The Barracuda will unquestionably come ashore at a cove long used by our men for scouting purposes.
1:07:58 > 1:08:03It is some leagues along the coast. If I escaped... It could be arranged?
1:08:03 > 1:08:06- It could.- I would meet him there.
1:08:22 > 1:08:24Laurent!
1:08:32 > 1:08:37I knew you'd come. I've been looking everywhere for you.
1:08:37 > 1:08:41Never in my life have I been so glad to see friends.
1:08:41 > 1:08:48Imagine my feelings when I tell you that less than three hours ago I lay in a cell condemned to torture.
1:08:48 > 1:08:54If it hadn't been for an officer I'd known in happier days and had helped...
1:08:54 > 1:08:57If I can be of any service to you...
1:09:01 > 1:09:06- Laurent, surely you believe me? - You stole my ship.
1:09:06 > 1:09:10I only acted in the name of the brotherhood, in your interest.
1:09:10 > 1:09:15You were becoming unfaithful to our common cause.
1:09:15 > 1:09:19You hear what I hear? I was untrue to the cause.
1:09:19 > 1:09:23- Let me finish him off. - You were saying, Mario?
1:09:24 > 1:09:29If I die for saying it...it was your wife who betrayed us all.
1:09:29 > 1:09:37- What of my wife?- From the moment you met, she was scheming and contriving to get us to free her from you.
1:09:38 > 1:09:42- Finally we consented, not for her sake, for yours.- Go on.
1:09:42 > 1:09:49She promised us all safe conduct back to Tortuga after we brought her here to marry Alvarado.
1:09:49 > 1:09:53Bonney and the crew are rotting in the dungeons,
1:09:53 > 1:09:56sentenced to burn at the stake.
1:09:56 > 1:09:58That's how much you can trust her.
1:09:59 > 1:10:02You realise what you've told me?
1:10:02 > 1:10:08Fully. She couldn't wait for the wedding before moving into his excellency's palace.
1:10:09 > 1:10:12In his palace?
1:10:12 > 1:10:14Under the same roof?
1:10:14 > 1:10:18Forgive me, Mario, for not trusting you at first.
1:10:18 > 1:10:21I thank you for your information.
1:10:21 > 1:10:26Get more and meet me in the marketplace when it draws dark.
1:10:26 > 1:10:29You can rely on me.
1:10:38 > 1:10:41- How can you believe him? - Who says I do?
1:10:41 > 1:10:46If he bids me good morning, I figure it's night and sleep. Every word...
1:10:46 > 1:10:51Some are true and some are not. I want to find out which is which.
1:10:51 > 1:10:55Find out from her? You'll put yourself in prison.
1:10:55 > 1:11:00Not the worst place to be. That's where our true friends are.
1:11:00 > 1:11:05Something tells me they'll be awfully glad to welcome us. Come on.
1:11:08 > 1:11:10Oooh!
1:11:11 > 1:11:15- Your excellency, Capitan Mario Du Billar.- Send him in.
1:11:17 > 1:11:19Aggh!
1:11:19 > 1:11:22So, you've returned already, have you?
1:11:22 > 1:11:27Oh, dear. I seem to know less about scoundrels than I thought.
1:11:27 > 1:11:31Surely your excellency never doubted me?
1:11:31 > 1:11:36Not at all. I took it for granted you would betray me if you could.
1:11:36 > 1:11:41- Well, have you been successful? - Your excellency shall be the judge.
1:11:41 > 1:11:45- I met a man of consequence... - Oh, come to the point!
1:11:45 > 1:11:50I raised a topic to which no man is insensitive - a lady whom he loves.
1:11:50 > 1:11:57I intimated that she may not be in love with him, that she may be making a fool of him.
1:11:57 > 1:12:03- You're shrewder than I thought. - Oh, your excellency! - That was NOT a compliment.
1:12:03 > 1:12:08- I promised you 10,000 pieces of eight.- 50,000 was the sum you said.
1:12:08 > 1:12:1250,000 I said. 10,000 was what I had in mind.
1:12:12 > 1:12:16- Whatever your excellency says. - Exactly.
1:12:16 > 1:12:23I would assume that vanity would lead this man to investigate whether he HAS been made a fool of.
1:12:23 > 1:12:27If you were in his place, your excellency.
1:12:28 > 1:12:32If I were in his position...yes.
1:12:32 > 1:12:36I think I would call upon the lady.
1:12:39 > 1:12:41DOORS ARE UNBOLTED
1:12:56 > 1:12:58Laurent!
1:12:58 > 1:13:05I'm sorry if I startled you. There was too much danger to have myself announced with more formality.
1:13:05 > 1:13:07Wait. Let me close the door.
1:13:11 > 1:13:18You must not stay here. If you were discovered, don't you know what they would do? You were mad to come.
1:13:18 > 1:13:24There's safety in madness. Who would suspect I would come, unless you send for Alvarado?
1:13:24 > 1:13:28Oh, Laurent, be serious. Why don't you kiss me?
1:13:29 > 1:13:33You would like to continue with this farce?
1:13:33 > 1:13:36- What are you saying?- I believed you.
1:13:36 > 1:13:41- Believed a lady like you would stoop to a buccaneer.- I won't listen!
1:13:41 > 1:13:46- All the time you were scheming to leave me.- What makes you say this?
1:13:46 > 1:13:51- What proof have you?- The only proof I have is in myself, in my heart.
1:13:51 > 1:13:56The very first time we met, you had me lashed because I spoke to you.
1:13:56 > 1:13:59The dagger you were ready to stab me with.
1:13:59 > 1:14:04- It was only...- That night in the cabin, I tried to explain.
1:14:04 > 1:14:08These things you're saying might once have been so,
1:14:08 > 1:14:14but have not been so since I realised how... how much I do love you.
1:14:14 > 1:14:19- What else proves you love me?- I wish there were proofs I could give you.
1:14:19 > 1:14:25Unless you're prepared to believe what I say just because I say it...
1:14:25 > 1:14:30- I have no proofs.- You've had my crew thrown into the prison.
1:14:30 > 1:14:34Anne Bonney - to whom you promised safe conduct home.
1:14:34 > 1:14:39They will be burnt at the stake in celebration of the royal holiday.
1:14:39 > 1:14:43- Anne...- The flames will add colour to the festivities connected with...
1:14:43 > 1:14:47- Call the guard! - ..your next marriage.- Laurent, go!
1:14:47 > 1:14:50You've got to go.
1:14:51 > 1:14:55I take it you know that the palace guard is coming.
1:14:55 > 1:15:00- I swear to you I didn't! Please go! - Now that it's too late, you warn me.
1:15:00 > 1:15:04I too had conceived of such a possibility myself.
1:15:10 > 1:15:13So, YOU are the Barracuda?
1:15:16 > 1:15:18Or Laurent Van Horn, remember?
1:15:18 > 1:15:23Yes, I remember. You were presumptuous and I punished you.
1:15:23 > 1:15:27We are old friends. It's an intimacy that won't endure much longer.
1:15:27 > 1:15:33- I will rid you of this intruder immediately and permanently. - Tell him about Anne Bonney.
1:15:33 > 1:15:38- You must...- It was a privilege to have known you.
1:15:38 > 1:15:41I'll remember you to the end of my days.
1:15:41 > 1:15:44What a pretty speech.
1:15:51 > 1:15:57Search the garden! ..You, look in the shrubbery to the right.
1:15:59 > 1:16:04Remember, get the weapons to me and the prisoners who are hiding.
1:16:04 > 1:16:07I count on you.
1:16:13 > 1:16:16Make sure there are no more.
1:16:18 > 1:16:22A thousand pardons for this intrusion, my child,
1:16:22 > 1:16:27but I thought it necessary for your sake even more than my own.
1:16:44 > 1:16:47Let me open you another bottle.
1:16:56 > 1:16:58HE LAUGHS
1:16:58 > 1:17:00Not now.
1:17:00 > 1:17:03What if someone saw us?
1:17:03 > 1:17:08Take them the basket and then hurry back here. I'll be waiting for you.
1:17:22 > 1:17:26Here is your last meal. Don't choke on the bones.
1:17:27 > 1:17:30Did you hear him? The last meal.
1:17:30 > 1:17:35Huh? What'd he say? He says he doesn't care.
1:18:02 > 1:18:05FANFARE
1:18:05 > 1:18:09It's the viceroy. I should have left here long ago.
1:18:09 > 1:18:14- If he finds you here in this state with me, his favourite...- I know.
1:18:14 > 1:18:17It will be my last meal too.
1:18:23 > 1:18:28- Strike me if I'd ever thought I'd see you again!- Sshh!
1:18:28 > 1:18:31Francesca! ..She's here.
1:18:31 > 1:18:35- She knows the way to a man's heart. - Put it away!
1:18:35 > 1:18:40- I'd rather wear the white brocade. It flatters my figure. - Yes, your excellency.
1:18:40 > 1:18:45This visit is not meant to reflect on the way you run this prison.
1:18:45 > 1:18:52- My appearance keeps people on their toes.- I think you'll find everything to your liking.
1:18:52 > 1:18:54Careful of the steps.
1:18:54 > 1:18:59- Tell my barber that my beard wants trimming.- Yes, your excellency.
1:18:59 > 1:19:04- You let a man come so close to your throat with a blade?- Coco, tell him.
1:19:04 > 1:19:10He shouldn't have thought he could steal a woman like he stole ships.
1:19:10 > 1:19:15At last we see eye to eye. A woman cannot be stolen, nor her love.
1:19:15 > 1:19:21Hang him high, high enough for him to have a last glimpse of the Barracuda - a crowning touch.
1:19:21 > 1:19:23Yes, your excellency.
1:19:23 > 1:19:30The wedding party will be on the barge with the priests. Let him reach his destination first.
1:19:30 > 1:19:33Du Billar, what a pretty sight!
1:19:33 > 1:19:37Hiding behind his excellency's rather broad back.
1:19:37 > 1:19:43A pity that one of the few comparable swordsman is reduced to parrying with words.
1:19:43 > 1:19:48Even if I had something more pointed that words, I would not use it now.
1:19:48 > 1:19:53Well, Coco, since we shan't see him again, our condolences.
1:19:56 > 1:19:58(He mustn't see me!)
1:20:06 > 1:20:11I didn't know your kind cared about their men as much as we do.
1:20:11 > 1:20:13I love him.
1:20:13 > 1:20:19- I came here to keep my word that you would go free. - KEY JANGLES
1:20:19 > 1:20:21Come now, please.
1:20:25 > 1:20:27Well, strike me.
1:20:27 > 1:20:31- You...you... - Walk ahead of me.
1:20:40 > 1:20:42My wife.
1:20:42 > 1:20:45Now, Laurent, open up.
1:20:48 > 1:20:53- You believe me now?- Yes. I'll never forget these seconds.
1:20:53 > 1:20:56I'll never forget the way you look now.
1:20:58 > 1:21:04You'll have the guards on our necks! ..You, where's the armoury? Step lively!
1:21:14 > 1:21:17DOOR OPENS
1:21:21 > 1:21:24I'm sure you're wrong.
1:21:24 > 1:21:30The palace sent a maid servant. There was no maid servant. Some girl was here.
1:21:30 > 1:21:34I'll find out about her. You see that she doesn't slip past the gates.
1:21:34 > 1:21:37I'll see to it.
1:22:01 > 1:22:06Hard as I try, I can't believe this is your bridal gown.
1:22:06 > 1:22:09There's time for you to change and go on the barge.
1:22:09 > 1:22:14I'm sure you'll agree, the less said about this to Alvarado, the better.
1:22:16 > 1:22:19Well, Mario, at last!
1:24:24 > 1:24:26Oh, Laurent!
1:25:21 > 1:25:24You dirty...!
1:25:37 > 1:25:42Make for the harbour. Avoid the fortress, it bristles with soldiers.
1:25:53 > 1:25:55Head him for the Carolinas.
1:25:57 > 1:26:00And there...
1:26:02 > 1:26:04Good sailing.
1:26:20 > 1:26:23- See the boat?- I see nothing, sir.
1:26:23 > 1:26:28- You won't find it in my face. Look out there.- Yes, sir.- Keep looking.
1:26:28 > 1:26:34Why are those pillows on deck? You think we'll sleep here? Idiot! Take them below.
1:26:41 > 1:26:45I will enjoy that tomorrow morning at breakfast.
1:26:48 > 1:26:53- More soldiers? What are they for? - The pirates are at large.- What?
1:26:53 > 1:26:58- They will protect you now that we are to return ashore.- Return ashore?
1:26:58 > 1:27:04This is their leader's ship. I will wait here. Are there more of you?
1:27:04 > 1:27:10- They are waiting alongside. - They will constitute an adequate committee of reception.
1:27:10 > 1:27:13The boat has come, sir.
1:27:13 > 1:27:18- Will I send it back?- No, she must see how I deal with men who cross me.
1:27:22 > 1:27:29They'll be unaware that their ropes are missing until they wake. Pillery used no violence.
1:27:29 > 1:27:34- I'm afraid the Lord Bishop himself may be expected.- Hmm.
1:27:34 > 1:27:38If so, his lordship's absence may have to be excused.
1:27:50 > 1:27:55Form a guard of honour to receive the Contessa. Put down the carpet.
1:28:03 > 1:28:06My dear.
1:28:08 > 1:28:14Father Lorenzo is deputising for his lordship. The bishop is confined with gout.
1:28:14 > 1:28:19I pity him, while I rejoice that he cause me no delay.
1:28:40 > 1:28:43I fancied we'd be married right here.
1:28:43 > 1:28:46I take it for granted you agree.
1:28:52 > 1:28:58I must make mention of an unforeseen delay. You are not yet a widow.
1:28:58 > 1:29:06- We shall have to restrain our impatience, not for weeks, nor days, nor even hours I hope.- Don't hope.
1:29:07 > 1:29:12I should have said it will be only a matter of minutes.
1:29:12 > 1:29:17This ship is amply fortified, which I'm sure you didn't anticipate.
1:29:17 > 1:29:22I indulged myself in the thought you were unwilling in this intrigue.
1:29:22 > 1:29:28- It was of my own choosing.- You chose the loser. You can change your mind.
1:29:28 > 1:29:32- I've no intention of doing so. - Don't try my affection too far.
1:29:32 > 1:29:38I'm not your kind. No matter what you do, I won't share your triumph.
1:29:38 > 1:29:43- Lieutenant!- Your guards can't make me despise you any less.
1:29:43 > 1:29:47- You stand for everything I wish to forget.- Lieutenant!
1:29:47 > 1:29:50Where are you?!
1:29:55 > 1:29:57Sentry.
1:29:57 > 1:29:59Sentry!
1:29:59 > 1:30:01SENTRY!
1:30:52 > 1:30:55Cut the anchor cable. Set topsails.
1:30:55 > 1:31:00- We can't sail past. It's in point-blank range. - We'll make a run for it.
1:31:00 > 1:31:03You fool!
1:31:03 > 1:31:05You'll never clear the harbour.
1:31:08 > 1:31:13The garrison will fire if this ship so much as moves before daybreak.
1:31:23 > 1:31:26Sound the alarm. Man your guns.
1:31:29 > 1:31:32Sound the alarm! FANFARE
1:31:40 > 1:31:45At least we all may have the dubious consolation of dying together.
1:31:53 > 1:31:55Man your guns!
1:31:56 > 1:32:00The Barracuda sails long before her time, sir.
1:32:09 > 1:32:13The priest, the bride, his excellency.
1:32:13 > 1:32:17Any reason he shouldn't be married ahead of time?
1:32:17 > 1:32:22Look carefully at the priest, sir. Isn't he rather tall for the bishop?
1:32:24 > 1:32:27Yes, strangely tall, I grant you.
1:32:29 > 1:32:32Stand ready to fire by sections!
1:32:33 > 1:32:36< Stand ready to fire by sections!
1:32:46 > 1:32:47Fire.
1:32:47 > 1:32:50Why don't you fire?
1:32:56 > 1:33:00Section number three, fire!
1:33:13 > 1:33:15FIRING CONTINUES
1:33:17 > 1:33:22Moments now. Close your eyes and pray that we will be delivered.
1:33:22 > 1:33:25FIRING CONTINUES
1:33:29 > 1:33:34To think that I considered firing on her with his excellency on board.
1:33:34 > 1:33:36Give them the rockets for good luck.
1:33:36 > 1:33:39Long live the viceroy!
1:34:12 > 1:34:16Oh, let's hang him from the yardarm!
1:34:16 > 1:34:19Take out his heart. We've got to do this properly,
1:34:19 > 1:34:22step by step, limb from limb.
1:34:22 > 1:34:26Can't you let him live? Find him some useful work.
1:34:26 > 1:34:28Work?
1:34:28 > 1:34:33No, Contessa, yours is the cruellest of all suggestions.
1:34:34 > 1:34:38Lucky Don Juan Alvarado! I knew he wouldn't wait.
1:34:43 > 1:34:45He's dead.
