The Black Corsair Page #3

Your hand is no doubt

the hand of aristocrat.

Blue blood knows its own.

I can confidently lean on it.

You are mistaken, my lord.

My hand is ordinary

like Olonese's.

It became corsair's hand

for the time being.

I fear,

it is the only kind I have...

...to offer for support.

Lean on me.

Free this woman,

she belongs to me.

I paid for her.

Jean d'Avignot,

as governor of Tortuga...

...acting on behalf of the

French king, I need to learn more...

...about your plan to

attack Maracaibo.

Before giving my assent,...

...I wish to hear views

of those present.

Decaiuno, speak.

and 500 kilos of silver,...

...I would go after the devil...

...into the fires of hell,

to retrieve it. The gold,...

...or die trying,

such is my view.

I have two ships and 200 hands,

all can be ready...

in 2 days.

Montbars, and you.

Won't be easy, who knows

how many will lose their lives.

Perhaps even you Olonese.

But it's an opportunity

I don't wish to waste.

If you die, that'll prove...

I'm the bravest among all corsairs!

But I will go,

with all my men.

- Van Horn?

- I go

Under the condition

Olenese will allow us...

...to work out the plan together.

Martin Hoffere?

Why do you ask me?

Though I'm an ex-priest,...

...it won't bother me to send

some Spaniards back to their Maker.

If He loves them

as much as I love woman...

...He will thank me forever.

Count from Ventimiglie.

We are not going.

Me nor my men.

You?

Are you pirate or Spaniard?

You are more

on their side than ours.

You don't even know

what you are anymore.

We must conquer Maracaibo!

There's lots of gold,

and I want it!

I am in charge, you must obey me.

You must go as well.

I won't go to Maracaibo with

your flotilla, Olonese.

Because I will be there first.

I think you are mad.

Our goals differ.

Yours is gold.

Mine is Wan Ghould.

If you attack Maracaibo and Wan Ghould

is not able to repel you, he will flee.

I must be there first.

If I remain alive when you arrive,

I will join you then.

You made it to Maracaibo alone, once.

Tempting fate,

trying for a second time?

I only need to ensure the

archduke won't escape alive.

Even if you make it to Maracaibo,

how do you expect to find him?

I will find him.

I made a bargain

with a potent ally.

Good luck.

Emilio!

Aim straight.

And hold firm...

Excellent!

Moko,

bring me the man

waiting outside.

Which one,

the one playing the flute?

No, the other one.

You! Come here.

What manners!

Why do you follow me?

So that you would call for me.

But why?

I am just beginning

my pirate's career...

...and need to be hired

as a captain.

I'd rather have my own command,...

...but that seems unlikely

at this time.

What did you say

your name was?

Morgan. See,

even you cannot remember it.

I need to do

something noteworthy,...

...for people

to remember my name.

Back to matter at hand,

what do you want from me?

Take me to Maracaibo.

As second-in-command.

Why should I?

Because we have

overlapping interests...

...on which I rely, as you

upon your honor.

Nice speech.

But not enough of an incentive.

Perhaps I will think of more...

Wan Ghould.

I managed to find his servant

among the prisoners.

He mentioned certain monastery

the archduke frequents, alone.

Offer the chap freedom, and

he will take you there.

And where is this man?

Waiting outside.

You heard me Satan...

at last!

Have you ever seen a ship like

"Lightning", captain... uhm...

Morgan.

My name is Mor-gan

Yes captain.

They will never remember the name.

Don't give up hope.

What is your name?

Yara.

I am Jos.

Why do you hate me, Yara?

Who said I hate you?

I see it in your eyes.

I hate all Spaniards.

- Did the Spanish do something horrible?

- Yes.

But not all Spaniards are bad.

Just as not all are good.

You shouldn't hate all,

just those who hurt you.

Why should Yara say

"These I hate, those I don't"

They came from the sea,...

...from Spain to kill us.

Stole our land, made us slaves.

They didn't ask themselves which

of us are good and which are bad.

If I could, I would wipe them all

off the face of the Earth.

But you are already

making distinctions.

Because you are speaking with me,...

...shows you hate me little bit less.

Sometimes we just need to talk, and

no longer are we Indian or Spaniard...

...just two ordinary human beings.

I'm no longer anything, anymore.

Nothing.

How did you get here?

I asked Carmauxi and

Wan Stiller to hide me.

Carmauxi! Wan Stiller!

Come here immediately!

We must say our farewell now,

Carmauxi.

Seems so, Wan Stiller.

Don't punish them.

This is my fault.

I begged them so much.

- Commander?

- Gentlemen.

Thank you.

Now go.

Could you believe we weren't

particularly eager to answer your call?

I was thinking day and night how to

say "no" to your farewell...

...how to persuade you,

how to resist you.

The only solution I came up with,

was to disobey you.

I would never demand

your obedience...

only ask for your love.

Sailors,...

...raise the big sail...

...and let's celebrate

for another attack!

When I lived in Italy,...

...with my brothers and family,...

...I believed honor

was based simply,...

...on what one learned,

adhering to rules...

...laid down

by the nobility's social duties,...

...maintaining the family honor,

as old as the world.

Then I discovered that's not the

only way to live.

In Tortuga I found new life.

New rules, new sense of honor.

Not always better,

not always worse,...

...just different.

And then you came.

I discovered a

new life.

A totally different life.

Then for a moment,...

...my determination for revenge

seemed to wane.

If I could only erase entire

past from my memory.

But cannot.

I made a vow I must keep.

I understand.

My family, my father,

...all taught me

honor is all in life,...

without it,

we are nothing.

Had I suffered what you have,...

...I too, would vow revenge.

I understand perfectly.

That is why I feel closer,

and love you, all the more.

This is why.

As God is my witness, I desire to

partake in your destiny forever.

Regardless, to remain with you.

What is the matter?

You look upon me

with ever greater sadness.

Why?

Because...

I see, what will happen.

And it will be very distressing.

Not through my fault I hope?

This is my first officer.

- Captain Morgan.

- I'm very pleased.

Attention! All together now!

Hurrah!

Holy Mother of Guadalupe!

I never would have thought to see

Wan Ghould's daughter on this ship.

How do you know

she is Wan Ghould's daughter?

I saw her picture once,...

...while in duke's service.

At least she resembles it.

But I could be mistaken.

Are you daughter of Wan Ghould?

If you are, don't lie.

Yes.

But that is no crime?

It is here.

Men, listen.

The night we buried

my brothers at sea,...

I vowed to wipe out Wan Ghould's family.

I even invoked Satan for help.

And he answered me.

In his usual diabolical style.

He delivered into my hands
