The Buccaneer Page #10

Synopsis: During the War of 1812 against the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: General Andrew Jackson has only 1,200 men left to defend New Orleans when he learns that a British fleet will arrive with 60 ships and 16,000 men to take the city. In this situation an island near the city becomes strategically important to both parties, but it's inhabited by the last big buccaneer: Jean Lafitte. Although Lafitte never attacks American ships, the governor hates him for selling merchandise without taxes - and is loved by the citizens for the same reason. When the big fight gets nearer, Lafitte is drawn between the fronts. His heart belongs to America, but his people urge him to join the party that's more likely to win.

Mr. Lafitte!

Jean!

- Hang the murderer!

Jean, tell them it was not you!

- You would not believe it.

Mr. Lafitte, I did not want! - No

need for arbitrating! Hang him now!

Bring the rope!

Father, stop them!

You want to defend this killer?

Father, he did not do it,

I can guarantee life.

And what is the life

your sister?

Father.

G. Peaky.

G. Peaky. Call General

Jackson, tell him what you intend.

Do not worry, honey, I'm going

for him. - Hurry!

Switch rope over!

Not here! Hang him

on the street, where it belongs.

Wait! Nobody criticizes

this man, as I do.

I lost my daughter. But you can not

take the law into their own hands.

Lafitte himself outlawed! - Yes!

I'll be happy to see him hanged,

but not from the wild crowd. - Turn soft

to associate with him. Give it here!

You're insane! Behave

like animals!

By God, I'll kill

the first to be moved!

This city is still under

state of emergency.

How does this apply

the killer?

Responsible for the death of 80 people ...

Silence!

Lafitte, are you

sunk the ship?

I was responsible.

I risked myself

Wealth on Corinthian.

What have you risked to

front, Mr. Mercier?

Jean has offered to assist in the defense of our

country, and you have destroyed Baratariju!

And yet we came to help.

- It's not about that, Miss Claiborne!

That being said, sir!

I gave a promise to this man.

A full pardon for all his

man, who join me on the battlefield.

He gave his word.

I'll keep mine.

I will keep you in word, General.

I'll meet up with one

Clock advantages.

Release him.

Okay, Lafitte,

Your clock is started.

Jean!

I'll go with you. - Annette,

what kind of life we ??have?

Without a country, without a home,

without belonging icemu.

We belong to each other.

You are the whole world that I want.

Annette, you do not know what

meant to spend his life on the run.

I want to live and die with you.

Jean!

Too much love, that

I'd brought with me.

What you can bring

the memory of you.

I can not give you back your daughter, you

lost to Corinthian, Governor.

I can give you back what

I love most in the world.

Lafitte!

No corner of the world,

where you'll be safe.

At least leave

all of you safe.

In the American New Orleans.

Keeps the wind in your sails!

You'll hang the flag?

- We do not have flags.

What course?

The open sea.

Keep the wind in the stern.

Where are we going, Dominique?

- Where it belongs.

When a man loses everything

Others, still has the sea.

This deck is the only

homeland we have.

It's all homeland

I want.
