The Buccaneer Page #9

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.

Listen! How many times have I told you

not to call me Lizzie, Miss Pest!

Come on, I'm going and reloading the

I do not hide it.

Looking for friends.

I bet you do not

Ah, I know! My

A friend of Mr. Lafitte.

Where did you meet him?

- It's a big secret.

I've never watched so.

- You're not the Jean Lafitte.

What are you afraid?

- I'm afraid I see anything!

See?

I bet the Whistle

See?

Let me fuanem.

- No!

You know what, if you go to call

my friend Mr. Lafittea,

I'll give you that trying some.

What I'm going to tell him?

Just tell him that Miggs here

and that it wants to immediately see.

So ... good. Beware this for me

and do not eat any.

Marjorie! Marjorie!

Stop it. Where did you get it?

From my friend, Miggs.

It seems that someone won.

Inherited his mother's charm.

I can not say that someone named

Miggs sounds appropriate for zeta.

Miggs?

Miggs ...

Hello, my son, what is the news about my

friend, Captain Thomas with Corinthian.

I do not know, sir.

- Wait a minute.

How did you get so

quickly returned?

Everyone thank you very much

in this tribute.

There is another man who

he deserved to get these same honors.

He brought me three things,

necessary, in Chalmette:

Flints for muskets,

Gunpowder and brave people.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Mr. Lafitte.

Once again, my

personal gratification.

You know, for a man who has spent most of

life was spent in an unstable deck,

rather slow dance.

The trust generals, dancing

I always causes seasickness.

Ms. Claiborne, nice

you like a princess.

Thank you, General.

- That's my Rachel here

We showed you

Rural dance steps.

I wish I was there for you,

General. - I am too.

General Dominique,

I see that you have an eye for beauty,

as well as for artillery.

General Jackson, I want you

present this lovely lady,

Miss Bonnie Brown.

I'm glad, Miss Brown.

Perhaps you will

interest, Miss,

I was recommended by General

for its exceptional contribution to the struggle.

Thank you, sir. Excuse me,

Bonnie. General?

I have to admit something,

I do not want to lie

General like you.

See ... I was just ...

Actually, I was

only distributor.

Well, I've seen the fight

General, my friend.

I am very grateful.

Thank you.

- Miss Brown.

Something is wrong with your hand?

Yes, Miss. She needs

your beautiful hand. Come on, Bonnie.

This is like a fairy tale.

- Yes, is not it? Is not that right, Jean?

Yes, it is ... how much we still have to

stay? - Not for long.

You're lucky, Annette.

This is so romantic.

You have to bring the bridegroom

at my house for dinner.

With pleasure.

- Lucky you man, Lafitte.

On the contrary, sir,

I'm the lucky one.

Well, see you soon,

very soon!

Do not you think we already

exposed long enough?

Maybe I am,

but you're not.

I want every woman in the world

be jealous of me.

Annette, we can

see the ring? - Of course!

I can not do it!

- Bonnie!

All you have to say is

'Congratulations'. I smile.

That's enough, let's go.

I'd rather him smash

bottle on his head.

My general!

- Jean, Miss Claiborne.

Miss Brown barely

waiting to congratulate you.

That's it. Good luck to both of them.

Thank you, very kind of you.

It is a fish that is hard

catch, Miss Claiborne.

Yes, it was not easy.

What are you looking at? Something

wrong with my clothes?

Not at all, you look good.

- You're gorgeous, the dress is beautiful.

Did you know that the same kind of madame

de Dupre made for me?

But she's my sister

took the Corinthian.

Corinthian?

Would not that be embarrassing,

both wear the same clothes?

Proof that tailors

never be trusted.

I hear a waltz. Miss,

I insist that I

tribute dance.

Excuse me.

- Of course.

Jean.

I did not want.

Jean, I'll go from here.

I will solve the dresses,

I'll burn it.

No one has ever

will not see it, I swear.

Will it revive her sister?

- Annette does not have to know.

You could say that the Corinthian sank in

storm, was lost at sea, who would know?

I'll know.

What are you going to do?

Tell her.

- You're a fool.

You'll lose everything you've

loved and for which you have fought.

You gave up everything

you had, all that you are.

Jean, I do not even want

see how far you lose.

Would you be able to love a man,

who killed your sister?

I could love a man

who killed my father!

Mr. Lafitte, there was a boy who

you want to see. It's called Miggs.

Where is it? -There,

with your dog.

Tell him that I was waiting behind the house,

right now, you know?

Is it really your friend?

- Yes, of course. Go now.

Go back, wait for me

there with Miggs.

Jean, I'm afraid.

- Go!

Have Miggs.

Maybe we have to fight for

output, boss. To call people?

No, I would not be fighting.

Listen up, everyone.

Go to Raven. Prepare

him to sail.

I will come if I can.

- You're not going to come to terms with this without me.

Dominique, this is an order!

If you do not I come to

two hours sail.

You heard the boss. Come on.

Something is very odd.

Boy refuses to answer.

How do we expect to match,

when all vicete on it?

Annette was right. Listen,

son, no you will not do nothing.

We just want to know how you left

Corinthian? How did you get back?

Corinthian yet

could agree.

I do not know ... was night.

Spread your wings and

flown? - Stupid!

You did not fall overboard?

- That's right, sir! I fell over.

How did this happen? Tell us.

There was a storm,

big waves.

There was no storm, my son.

- Yes, it was!

And there have been big waves ...

Is the ship sinking?

- What? No ...

I do not know.

I know what you'll get

to tell the truth.

For God's sake, Mercier,

do not raise your hand to a child.

I put a quarter of a million dollars

that ship and I'll find out what happened.

Wait, Mercier, ship

is certainly sunk.

Were they British?

No, sir.

Was he Lafitte? - Mr.

Mercier, how dare you?

Mercier, do not stand at my

porch and the amount of such charges!

If you were British, then who is?

- Mr. Lafitte was not even there! He was ...

Lafitte was it?

- Mr. Lafitte was ...

He's what?

I can not answer that

question! I was there.

What?

Corinthian is submerged.

Were there any survivors?

All but one were killed.

Have you participated

in fact, Lafitte?

I was their boss.

Mr. Lafitte!

Mr. Lafitte, I just

come say hi to you,

I did not want this to happen.
