The Black Corsair Page #4

the daughter of Wan Ghould.

The only woman I could ever love.

And now my heart

trembles in horror.

I want to annul the terrible vow.

Commander,

You fought 10 years

against Wan Gould,...

...with us faithfully by your side.

Dozens of us have been killed.

Each of us lost a friend,...

or even own brother or son.

You taught us to hate Wan Ghould...

...with same intensity as yours.

You don't decide alone. We all want to

take revenge on that accursed scoundrel.

Death to Wan Ghould's clan,

including her daughter!

- Death!

- It's decided! Death!

An eye for an eye!

Execute her! Death!

- It's decided!

- Revenge!

Yes, it's decided.

Honorata Van Ghould,

For crimes of your father,

you are sentenced to death.

The execution is to be

carried out immediately.

If you have something to say,

speak now,...

...else, forever be silent.

If devil is punishing you for your vow.

God is punishing me for mine.

Excuse me, commander.

I'm here only for a short time...

...but the only one not directly

involved in your vendetta.

I realize you must keep your vow, but,

please let me speak.

Hear me brothers.

I don't wish to

challenge your judgment,...

...but exercising my authority

as the ship's first officer...

...I invoke the laws of the sea,

recognized by all sailors and flotillas.

I wish to suggest,

leave the execution...

...of your judgment to fate.

Al right.

I agree.

Agreed.

According to laws of the sea!

And so, it will be!

So, let it be!

But how will you live?

Lower the life raft!

Behold, even the black pirate weeps.

If the accursed pirates come,...

...we are ready, to receive them.

Guards were doubled.

Your plan was truly ingenious,

archduke Wan Ghould.

We let the pirate ships approach,...

...but offer little resistance.

And when in reach of our cannons,

then we let them have it.

- Are you even listening to me?

- No.

I am thinking of the news a friend...

...is to bring me anytime, now.

If you wish, you can receive him here,

in the palace.

No, in the monastery instead.

Jos,

where are you?

Where are we supposed to go?

Dominican monastery.

The archduke goes there to pray

every day, by himself.

He has established an alliance

with the priests.

But I think we should split up.

Why?

Our number might arouse suspicion.

Would be best if the two of us

would go alone.

In short,

you take care of Wan Ghould, and...

...I'll take care of emir's gold

and the silver.

Leave a little for Olonese.

Yara.

Goodbye Yara.

Wait.

We will return shortly.

Why are you bidding me farewell,

when I'm going with you.

What?

The black pirate and I

made the same vow.

I too, must avenge my brothers.

Your eyes don't seem clear today.

Because I worry about you, Yara.

Don't come with us.

I'd rather die than break my vow.

Let's go!

We're wasting time.

Don't stop, Jos!

Which way?

Perhaps here.

Why don't you say what you

see in my eyes?!

What is the meaning of this?

That I betrayed you all.

I was to lure you into a trap.

Wan Ghould is waiting with his soldiers.

For this you pay with your life!

I am ready.

Kill me.

Could you take me to the duke

without him suspecting?

Of course!

But be warned!

I will never betray you again.

Just try, and you die.

I won't.

I learned to admire you.

I fell in love

with the people of Tortuga.

All your people, especially...

Basically, all your people.

Can trust him now,

his eyes are clear again.

Perhaps luck abandoning Wan Ghould

is a good sign.

Praise the Lord.

Repeat.

Praise the Lord

We lost their trail.

Wait.

What is this comedy of yours?

Wait, you'll see.

Forgive me stranger.

Uh, dear foreigner...

I just... Wanted...

That is... I mean...

...what the hell are you doing?

Maracaibo is threatened by

dangerous epidemic.

If you please...

How did it get here?

Emir's treasure brought it...

It's infected.

And this is the only cure.

It's from the Orient.

Being the only doctor here,...

...it is in people's

interest that I be saved first.

Please tell me what to do.

Similar incident happened years ago

in Damascus... and this powder...

IT IS IMPERATIVE TO SPRINKLE

ENTIRE EMIR'S TREASURE...

...AND ALL WHO TOUCHED IT!

'cause when they were hiding it, someone

must have touched it, understand?

Don't scream if you hold life dear.

Move over there.

I have no intention to harm you.

Don't force me.

Force you?

On the contrary,

Please don't hurt me.

Put the candlestick down.

A drop of hot wax on your hand,

and you might not resist a scream.

And you please put aside your sword.

What if I were to sneeze?

Alright, but promise you won't scream.

Agreed.

Even if you might not believe my word,

I assure you

I have no intention of dying.

I truly won't scream.

That's better.

Do you intend to stay long?

Until he comes.

I surmise you are very secretive,

and enchanting.

But I know very well who you are.

You are whom they call

the Black Corsair.

And you wish

to confront Wan Ghould?

On his account I sold my soul.

I tore out my heart,...

...at a time it beat the strongest,

for my beloved.

May the Lord have mercy on me.

I saw the archduke kill your brothers.

It was a cowardly murder.

He killed them treacherously.

I know a lot of people,

very important people...

...but nobody like Wan Ghould.

He is obsessed, as if consumed

by unquenchable fire.

I came to extinguish it,

once and for all.

- What is happening?

- I am returning from my watch.

I saw sails on the horizon.

They are pirates'!

At last!

Give marquise a message,

not to wait for me tonight.

Then come to the fortress,

we'll be there.

- Yes, sir

- Very well.

First night I spent looking

a man in his eyes.

Might be a nice story to tell

my grandchildren if I ever have some.

But they would never believe me.

The archduke?

No!

The archduke would knock

more discretely.

I have a message for the marquise

from archduke.

- Captain!

- What Manolo?

Moments ago I thought...

...I heard voices and

footsteps,...

...in the marquise's room.

We must investigate.

My lady?

Yes, Manolo?

Captain Mannere

has a message from archduke.

I'm not feeling well.

I have a headache

Go away all of you

and leave me alone.

Your servants seem very obedient.

Much too much I would say.

Shame to have to kill some.

What? Have any idea how much

each one costs these days?

Could you please escape in a

less expensive manner?

I would need your help.

You have it.

To start, embrace me.

Gladly.

I must admit I wanted to, all along.

Don't shoot, he'll kill me!

Allow him to pass. Prepare a coach!

Quickly, the coach!

Put down the guns

for goodness' sake!

One shot will kill me!

It's the black corsair!

Don't shoot!

Let him escape, for her sake.

It didn't move...

...all night long.

It is a ploy!

Feigning an

attack from the sea.

The real battlefield

will be the fortress.

That is where we wait for them.

We give the order,

then attack from behind.

Let's go.

I wish to inspect the fortress walls.
