The Buccaneer Page #6

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.

I knew he would come help, Father.

- I'm glad you approve of it, Miss.

Now excuse me.

- Do you have transportation?

No, I told her coachman to me

waiting. I did not know you and I want you to go.

I understand. Annette, would you say Cato

carriage to put at the disposal of Mr. Lafitteu?

Sure. This way, Mr. Lafitte.

I constantly keep an eye on

My gun is constantly being pointed at him.

If I knew you were there, I'd be afraid

over you, but our friends pirates.

Get that silly thing and told members

Defence Council for tonight's meeting.

If I may be open, sir, is

it wise to trust a man ...

Not naga?aj just told to

meeting. -Yes, sir!

I have prepared you a carriage.

- Thank you, Cato. I'll get out.

Jean, do not be like that!

So you want it to say. - It seems to me

that was the last time enough said.

It was just

my stupid pride.

Now, when I

what have you done ...

I did it just

for his people and himself.

If you're going to feel better if

hurt me, go ahead. Jean ...

Loving you,

most important thing in my life.

Please believe it.

- Annette.

Annette!

- Yes. Father.

What will people think?

- About what?

You left out Mercier

the guest list.

Dad, I know that Mr.

Mercier is always upsets.

I know, honey, but the people in our

position must hide feelings.

I will endeavor, Father. - Maybe we should

invite our friends, pirates.

You should meet with General

Jackson as soon as possible.

I announce our engagement.

- I'd be thrilled.

What did you say?

Do not be a coward, tell him. - She

I'd be thrilled, Father.

Do we have to yell at each

other? Why are you standing there?

Oh, stung my hand on a thorn.

If we reach

agreement with Lafitteom,

maybe we should be hanged

pirate flag in the city.

We're not here for discussion

Reputation Jean Lafittea!

He offered his assistance and

waiting for our answer.

Respond cannon.

Before I surrendered to the English,

but given the land into the hands of the rabble.

At least maintain their dignity.

- General Jackson will need

men and ammunition. Lafitte

We offer both.

On the battlefield, General

do not ask who delivered bullets.

I completely agree

with the Governor!

At Jackson's place would

rather have a deal with the Devil.

In any case, here we have

decide on the authenticity of these letters.

That is not the question. - You believe that

fake? - Not enough are authentic.

Only proven to work with the English.

- Renegade is, I do not believe that he was a traitor.

You think Lafitte waived 30

thousand and position in the British Army,

Just because, in order to

become a U.S. citizen?

You would not, Mr. Mercier?

- Gentlemen, I agree with all the put,

but we can not ignore the opinion

our esteemed governor.

We are wasting time. Give me an order

to throw Lafittea of ??Barataria!

You have my vote!

- Mine!

Solve at least one enemy.

- Gentlemen, gentlemen! Consider this.

Lafitte is one of the best

hope, that this country has.

Gentlemen, we can not

agree. Vote.

You know what, chief? Already the

I feel appreciated.

What do you think, Pyke, what

chances for people to be with us.

Just tell me how

you want to vote.

We're not so, Pyke.

From now on, everything must

be democratic.

Maybe a little friendly

persuasion, but democratic.

Boss!

Englishmen.

- They waited.

Pyke, can you see someone

to find. - OK!

Calalou! Calalou!

Calalou!

You're back where

you started, Lafitte?

There is no one to listen to your

orders, except mosquitoes.

How are you British

missed? - English?

Your American friends

We were visited.

You lie like a dog!

See ...

Recognize U.S.

uniform when I see it.

We fired at them, but

We Dominique prevented.

All called them out

docekaju, klicu them.

Sing "Yankee Doodle."

Then we resort

exploded in his face.

Does someone pulled?

- Some fled to the swamps.

Some were put in chains,

to be hanged.

Dominique was right!

No one can believe that.

Oh, how I've waited for this moment, when

I'll see you broken, defeated.

Now when I see it, it hurts. -Don't

give me your pity.

More I liked your

hatred. - Where are you going?

New Orleans!

I'll wring your people from jail

if I have to kill the Jackson.

No! Do not go

in New Orleans!

Because if the Americans do not

kill your own people will.

We ourselves go to Cartagena,

perhaps to Galvez in the Gulf.

Why do you care

What will happen to me?

Because you're a part of it all, I

ever loved. I hated it.

Very nicely sung,

Ms. Claiborne. Thank you.

Thanks to you, my dear.

This is my favorite song Rachel.

You gave me a feeling of home.

It's the least we could do

make for a brave soldier,

who came to defend our city.

Not to mention the beautiful ladies,

that adorn it. - Thank you.

I want to assure you, sir, that

hearts and homes of the city

open to you

and your people.

I am very grateful, ma'am.

I can assure you that we will

Defend your city from danger.

You're charming, General.

But they said they are from the countryside.

But farmer from Tenesseeja,

ma'am. That is the key.

General Jackson, were

We honored if you

you and your officers tomorrow

had dinner with us.

I accept with pleasure,

lady, on one condition.

The condition?

That tomorrow evening

I'm still alive.

You will not be living or tomorrow morning,

if you do not drink your milk.

Not now, Mr. Peavey!

- I put in your medicine.

Mr. Peavey. - Do not mind

to it, Miss. Claiborne,

shame me since

before your birth.

Come on! Drink a cure!

Commodore Patterson comes.

General Jackson,

Commodore Patterson.

Commodore.

- General.

I am pleased to inform you

the mission is accomplished.

Barataria is

completely destroyed.

What?

Father, how could they?

You promised Mr. Lafitteu!

What about Lafitteom?

- It is not among the prisoners.

Father, you gave him the word.

- Excuse me, Miss Claiborne.

Governor. General.

There is serious news.

English army arrived

to Lake Bourne.

English! On the lake?

It is less than 50 km.

General, what can we do?

Keep a cool head.

Mr. Peavey, Colonel,

Major Reed.

General, is expected to defend New Orleans

with this ... poor more trained people?

My troops are trained

to fight, not for show.

But they lack guns,

gunpowder and ammunition.

But no heart for a fight. - We have

think of our homes, families.

It seems that you have to think

at all, except at home.

Brave words, but you can not

they shoot down the enemy.

We'll stay alive

only if we surrender.

I'll be very clear, gentlemen!

Before I give this

city, I will burn it to the ground.

General Jackson, we have the right

decide on their own fate.

You'll discover that we have

strong civilian government.

And you'll discover that you have

receive orders from me.

If I have to declare

state of emergency.

We are in the hands of a madman!

Philip, do not!

Completely clear to me, sir,

you're either a coward or a traitor.

Racunajte the militia, sir.

The entire New Orleans

with you, General.
