The Buccaneer Page #2

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.

It is true that, in fact,

nobody cares.

Nobody wants to pay taxes

in a war that we are losing.

If you think so, sir. Phipps,

maybe you need to resign.

I am a loyal American, sir.

Okay, okay, we have

Lafittea today in shackles.

Annette.

I did not ask to

fall in love with you.

After I

first saw you,

I had thought to be 4 months

knowing that we'll be out of sight.

Neither typhoons or hurricanes, and not

could erase from my mind.

And you came back here.

What I thought might be

just a dream, you've done stvarnoau.

Now you say it's over.

Jean,

my father is here

sent to the President,

to this country

brought a kind of unity.

And I, behold, there

in love with a man, which can destroy

all that my father is trying to build.

Who, me?

- Yes, you.

I feel like I'm

on the side of the enemy.

Half my people we are jumping the neck, because they

do not allow attacking U.S. ships.

Love for you

it cost me a lot of money.

Jean ...

It's not about what you do not do,

already about what they should.

We are losing the war. Englishmen

just burned Washington.

What does it matter to us?

New Orleans might be next.

New Orleans had three different

Flags in the last 15 years.

It does not matter what will be

and fourth. - It is important to me.

You do not know what it means

belong to a country.

You want a country?

I'll give it to you.

You can have Barataria.

Do you know what they offer

King of Barataria?

Jean, a girl must be proud

on his love, do not be ashamed of it.

How can I tell people that I love

man, who is the head of a price?

You're just not ...

What did not?

Say it.

You are not worthy of respect.

Worthy of respect.

What do you want the code

weapons, not a man.

I want a man with a feeling of

honor, duty and loyalty.

Not savages. -Savage you

was not good enough,

when you needed breath of fresh air in

your boring social life.

My life may be boring,

but 'barato' continues

means cheap.

I think it's better to

get back to the carriage.

Too late, gentlemen. Just

You missed a good opportunity.

Hooch, set the best

archers on those trees.

Blue, cover the bridge.

We can take them, boss. - No

shooting. I do not want trouble.

Come on. Quick!

Now you will see,

Governor.

I swear, sir, there are people Lafitteovi

maintain sales an hour ago.

I know, I know.

I'm glad, Governor.

- You look funny, sir.

Governor, you

I did not expect!

Obviously, madame.

Can you explain,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Looking for something special?

I ask you!

Just the fear that someone

immediately brought to justice.

Sir, I'm a pirate.

Pirate.

You laugh!

I just laugh!

Did not realize that

your country is at war?

Will you laugh and

when the British march,

and you you do not have any

State or the flag?

And you! Will you laugh

when General Jackson rides

and expel you and your koljace

out of Barataria?

And others have tried before.

It will be differently

with Jackson.

He swore to you that there is no

places under the American flag.

I'm truly sorry

to hear that, Governor.

I've always respected

Bonnie is right.

You monster. Erase.

It is a case

with the lady.

Come on, Paul.

You should have seen me, Bonnie. Arranged
