The Black Corsair Page #5

If someday I will have grandchildren...

I will tell them of tonight and you.

Better go.

The sun is rising.

That is the hour when fairytales end.

Archduke and his officers

keep inspecting the fortress.

Shall we go?

Yes.

After so many years, so many deaths,

we finally meet face to face.

Perhaps your sword is faster than mine,

but surely is not faster than Shutz.

He is with me

and is going to show you now.

Perhaps you are a honorable man,...

...but your archduke sent you

to certain death, this time.

They attacked!

Mannere, back into the fortress!

Ready all your men to fight!

- Follow me!

- Archduke is retreating!

I will stop him!

These are your final moments, mercenary

Stop them!

The men are ready, Olonese.

Half a ton of gold waits for us on the

other side of these walls.

Let's take it!

Attack!

Let's kill the dogs!

More than half our men will be killed...

...before they reach the walls.

Who said so?

Remember, the tiger is a successful

animal because he is ruthless.

I sent Hoffer to take care of something.

Walk! Walk!

And here he is.

Why do you need all these friars?

To pray for you?

No, Spaniards won't dare shoot at them.

Order your brothers

to take the ladders...

...and raise them against the walls.

Never.

May the Lord have mercy on you.

Carry the ladders or

I'll boil you alive!

Quickly! Carry the ladders!

Forward!

Forward!

Hold your fire!

Those are our Dominicans!

Don't spout nonsense, captain.

Open fire!

Order your men to fire!

Be brave!

Reinforcements are due any time.

Quickly,

the pirates are surrounding the fort!

Get ready, quickly!

That's the black corsair.

Come with me!

Kill the dogs!

Climb up!

Shoot them!

Where are those reinforcements?

Hold it!

This one is mine!

No, he belongs to the archduke!

Retreat, it's all lost here.

To the boats!

We must reach our galleon.

Fight the dogs!

Maracaibo is ours!

Kill them! Kill them!

This man's will to survive is strong.

In a few days, he will be healthier

than either one of us.

Waiting for my recovery to execute me?

Don't worry, if possible

we will kill you sooner.

We're waiting for archduke Wan Ghould.

You're aboard his ship.

May we go now doctor?

In my opinion you have bad luck.

Would be better for you to die sooner.

Remember me?

Aren't you the count of Laerma?

Yes.

And I was a prisoner of pirates

long enough...

...never to forget to loathe them.

Don't doubt I won't get even.

You will spare me from agonizing

death by hanging, I thank you.

I did not forget I owe you

for saving my life.

You saved me,... unfortunately.

Unfortunately?

I have maybe a year to live, at best.

Blood disease, they say.

A sickness which afflicts aristocracy

when it becomes old and tired.

A sickness that is the sum

of all my life's choices.

New blood must replace the old.

Who knows,...

...perhaps even pirate's?

And you, count of Ventimiglia, known as

black corsair, what blood have you?

Corsair's, or count's?

Perhaps only the blood of a man,...

...searching for truth.

The difference between

justice and injustice.

Not that obvious.

Pablo! Pedro!

Your escape won't be comfortable...

I hope you can adapt,

count of Ventimiglia.

I realize...

...you cannot offer me an entire ship.

Correct.

Will a barrel suffice?

Next time we meet,

I'll return the favor.

No, this makes us even.

I'm Spaniard, therefore your enemy.

If we do meet, it will be in battle.

I hope you win.

Rather lose my blood quickly in

battle, than drop by drop.

May I say I have

profound respect for you, sir.

And I for you.

We escaped in time.

Maracaibo just fell.

We are glad to see you alive.

I am pleased to inform you we have

a prisoner you deem highly valuable.

The Black Corsair.

Then it is true. Where is he?

In the gallows tied up.

Take me to him!

I want to see him right away.

You two, leave the barrel,

and come with me, instead.

Move!.

Idiots!

You captured a man I've been hunting

for 10 years, all over the seas,...

...an enemy of the Spanish throne.

And what did you do?

You let him escape!

Find him!

Search everywhere!

He may still be on board!

These lazy Spaniards

dozing at their posts!

Letting him escape

right under their noses!

If you cannot find him on board,...

...lower the rafts and all after him!

But the ship will be defenseless.

What means more to you?

Don't you understand the black pirate

is worth 100 galleons?

We'll see if the Black Corsair will

be as dangerous, once hanged.

Lower all rafts!

Can you see him?

No.

Row!

Head for shore!

See him now?

No, not yet.

We must catch him

before he makes it to land.

We were following the archduke,

and by chance found you.

A raft from the "Lightning" will be

waiting for us in the lagoon, quickly.

- There he is! See him?

- After him, hurry!

Follow me.

They are escaping!

- There, they are!

- Shoot!

Won't you rather tell us

where the gold is?

I don't know.

I don't know anything.

The mercenaries hid it,

ask Wan Ghould!

- What are they shouting?

- Morgan.

- What is that?

- Famous name.

- No name is more famous than mine.

- Look!

Who would have thought

Morgan would seize...

...emir's treasure with handful of dust?

I bet he will become the most famous

pirate in all of Tortuga.

Hope he remains on our side.

I would hate to have him for enemy.

Hey you, who might you be?

I am Jean Davidnol, L'Olonese!

Olonese? Never heard the name!

I'm joining him, bye Olonese.

Me too. Bye.

I should remind him

to return to the "Lightning".

The commander will need us.

Do you hear anything?

Nothing.

Strange, I thought I heard something.

Don't move, be calm. Let him be.

If you're not his enemy,

neither is he yours.

They were ours

Did you find them

Finding anyone in this jungle

isn't easy.

Now what?

Let's go the other way.

Now that one, he was his enemy.

See?

The "Lightning" is waiting for us.

My beautiful ship!

It's me, my count!

Wan Stiller!

My trustworthy Wan Stiller!

Yara! Jos!

All on board!

The raft is ready.

That is why I was waiting here.

You don't have a sword.

Take mine.

A dagger is enough for me.

They discovered us, quickly!

Commander!

Fire!

Excellent, Carmauxi.

They were too far away for your knife,

so you used a canon.

That may be a good time.

Still thinking of her?

If my heart would beat,

would do so, for Honorata.

What is that?

That is Wan Ghould's galleon.

What is Morgan doing?

Why doesn't he move?

They are still out of cannons' reach.

Why doesn't she head for open sea?

Perhaps he's afraid to lose you.

But risks to lose my ship!

Sail to open sea!

Away from shore!

Morgan must have gone mad.

Hes making human targets of

them by sending them to the bow.

Captain, fire another round.

Fire!

Carmauxi!

My Lord, why aren't I dead instead.

See, he moved.

Complete massacre!

Raise all sails!

The rudder is blown to bits!

My ship is lost!

Their ship is crippled.

Shall we go after her?

No, she is unimportant.
