The Black Corsair Page #2

Wan Ghould's mercenaries.

Lower them down...

...or I will hang you.

Friends, listen to me!

I swear not rest until...

...I avenge my brothers, murdered by

the traitorous archduke Wan Ghould.

I swear to Satan!

Mighty ruler of demons.

I swear!

I will forfeit my soul...

...if you help me find him.

Let lightning strike my ship...

...and sink us

to the depths of the ocean...

...and my brother's souls

haunt me forever...

...unless I find Wan Ghould

and wipe out his clan as he has mine.

Into the tranquil

ocean's depths.

My brothers...

...wherever you are...

...if you can hear me...

...send me

your final farewell.

Same revenge you swore,...

...swears Yara...

...for his brothers.

And I too, bid them farewell.

Do you hear it too?

Perhaps the wind?

A ship at starboard!

Stand by, to hoist the sails!

It is a galleon!

A Spanish one!

The first gift of the devil.

Ready for attack!

Men, get ready.

Raise sails!

- Cast the hooks!

- At the masthead!

Prepare for battle!

Fire!

Open the defenses!

Before blood of your men stain my saber,

do you wish to fight me first, captain?

By rank.

You next,

sub commander.

Help the commander!

Sailors, climb up!

Surrender!

The ship is ours.

- Wan Stiller, take care of everything.

- Yes, commander.

Take ten of your men...

and sail the galleon

to Tortuga, behind us.

Search for barrels of gunpowder...

and move them

aboard our "Lightning".

You fought gallantly and valiantly.

That saved your lives.

I value honest brave men.

You shall have a raft and supplies,

sail where you wish.

Thank you.

It is my duty to inform you...

...of two other passengers on board.

- Who?

- A countess and her chamber maid.

Did you hear that? We are

in the company of a famous lady!

What was all this noise?

Quick, disembark all gunpowder!

Couldn't get any sleep last night.

Forgive us, gracious lady.

Among unavoidable aspects

of attacking ships, is noisy ruckus.

Our ship was attacked?

Yes my lady, by corsairs.

Oh my Lord! And who won?

The corsairs.

And I'm their leader.

Oh my Lord!

That doesn't mean

I am not a gentleman.

I assure you no harm will come to you

nor your chambermaid.

To none.

May I ask your name?

They call me,

the Black Corsair.

The Black Corsair?

Did you hear that? A worse fate.

Fear not my lady.

He claims to be gentleman, surely he

will prove it by granting us liberty.

Unfortunately, I do not decide alone,

rather is up to my entire crew as well.

Oh my! Will any of you dare touch me...

No, no, no, calm down.

I promise that

I will protect both of you...

...as much as my men.

But your freedom

will have to be purchased...

...at the slave market in Tortuga.

Our pirate island.

We arrive in three days.

By the way,

might we know your fair name?

I am Honorata Villerman,

duchess of Verteldrem.

And this girl

is my chambermaid.

Ready, let's sail!

That Villerman Duchess

... from Verteldrem is here.

Am glad...

...you accepted my invitation, duchess.

Sit down, please.

Thank you.

Forgive me. I asked...

...the Princess to sit here, not you.

What is the meaning?

But dear lady.

You are the duchess...

...and she is your maid.

Do you think I did not realize it

right away?

Forgive me, but...

...I understand you did it...

...to protect your duchess

from possible harm.

I will sit at your table only because

I have no choice.

And, what of my pretense...

...pretending to be a gentleman...

...you are no different.

You are mean, duchess.

If I had a gun or a sword...

...I would be even more, so.

Moko...

Serve the ladies.

Would you like some wine?

Here

Your men seem to be more

of a nuisance than servants.

I admit that.

But when attacking a ship,

they're great.

Evidently.

Your wine glasses and

dinning utensils are exquisite.

From whom did you steal them?

The Spanish. I'm just

taking back what they took from me.

Please,...

...for a moment,

forget our backgrounds.

You are very beautiful.

I don't recall the last time I dined

in such lovely company.

What happened?

- Is a storm brewing?

- No.

That is no storm.

How lucky I didn't reveal

your true identity.

Why consider it fortunate?

Your name among pirates

is the most despised.

Who knows what might have been had

he learned you're Wan Ghould's daughter

I don't think the name Wan Ghould

would affect his behavior towards me.

No brother, Antonio.

Not quite it.

Oh it is you, archduke.

In my opinion, the color

of her eyes is a bit faded.

Don't you think?

In reality my daughter's skin

is more pale.

A little romance might add

rosiness to her cheeks.

And her nose... her nose...

...to say, a bit impertinent.

Understand what I mean?

I understand above all,

that you love her.

More than anything in the world.

And still I received no news about

the ship taking her to Maracaibo.

We must trust in God.

He should trust in me!

It's in His interest to be my ally!

Whose sparrows are these?

Olonese's.

If you like them,

I'll sell them to you.

- How much?

- You're lucky. They'll cost little...

...on the condition that you can eat

them all in one night, as I once did.

Who is she?

Black Corsair's.

Don't you know him?

Which black corsair? The count?

That defender of the weak?

He doesn't fit among us, he prefers

to play the righteousness.

He doesn't even want

many dealings with us.

Don't touch this lady, or else.

Who is this man challenging me?

Spanish count from Herbe.

One of oldest Castile families.

His ransom was just paid,

he is free.

If he's paid for,

I figure I could kill him now.

My dear chap,

you are so stupid,...

I'd love to whip some sense

into you, with my foil.

Unfortunately, I'm disposed of

my equipment.

But no matter, just lend me a sword...

...and I'll give you a free lesson.

Unless you're afraid of an armed man.

- Give him a sword!

From now on, this man is under

my protection, Olonese.

Try your tricks on me.

Catch!

Forgive me for interfering so loudly,

in such tranquil Tortuga,...

...but doesn't seem appropriate for two

pirates to fight amongst themselves,...

...on a night,

before a major undertaking.

What are you talking about?

Important?

- Did you not speak with the Emir?

- With Emir?

Who can understand him?

Try yourself

if you don't believe me.

More languages one speaks,

further one gets.

So what did he say?

That perhaps you are strong as a lion,

but your head is empty.

You conquered

his sailing ship with crew,...

...but his cargo ship, sailing

behind him, headed for Maracaibo...

...with treasures,

you let slip away.

What did she fare?

He said, approximately 400 kilos

of pure gold...

and 500 kilos of silver.

He was overthrown, and so he was fleeing

to America with the national treasure.

And who are you?

My name is Morgan.

Never heard of you.

Give me time.

- What land are you from?

- England,

Have you heard of it?

And what they call you, Milton?

Morgan.

No one will remember that.

Maybe yes.

Thank you.
