All language subtitles for Sandokan - 1x02 - The Pearl of Labuan

Mummy was very sick,
but she isn't suffering anymore.

She's in heaven now.

But she didn't even say goodbye.

She couldn't say goodbye to anyone, Mims.

But she left something for you.

It's a dress.

For your debut...

...for when you're older...

...and you open yourself up to life.

What's wrong, Milady?

It's perfect for your party.

I don't know.

This dress...

makes me feel beautiful.

And also sad.

What do you remember of your mother?

When we were happy in the forest.

- Before the Sultan's men arrived.
- The Sultan's men?

They captured me...

and they sold me to the English.

But they told me
that you were an orphan...

- But what about your family?
- It was even worse for them.

My parents are dead.

My brother is a slave,
if he's still alive...

But the Queen abolished slavery.

Oh... Oh, Sani.

I'm so sorry.

I'm your family now.

You must come to London with me.

You'll live with me...

I'll send you to school...

Going to the theater with you
won't be as boring.

In London...

you won't be my servant.

You'll be my best friend.

That would be... wonderful... Milady.

Those bastards are mocking us.

Stop it!

I said stop it, you blaggards!

And if we don't, what will you do?

Oh! You will kill us.

I'll be the one laughing tomorrow!

You're a dead man walking!

The wound has reopened.

Let me see.

Hey!

Calm.

Quiet. Quiet.

It's Sandokan.

He's planning the breakout tonight.

Let's be ready.

Mr. Ismail,
I've been looking for you everywhere.

And I've been admiring the speed
of your English carpenters.

Well,
I can guarantee you a front row seat.

But I come with a different invitation.

The Consul
requests the honor of your presence

at his daughter's birthday party.

A Malaysian man at an English party?

I wouldn't want to cause a scandal...

No... The Consul's an open-minded man.

And besides, he's very grateful to you
for saving his daughter from the tiger.

Lord Brooke killed the tiger.

No, no. But he'd have been too late
without your help.

Yeah, fighting a tiger with a knife...

As for your attire,
we'll have something sent to your lodging.

Lamai is dead.

While you were hunting,
busy with your little performance.

Tigers don't hunt tigers.

What will you do? Kill me
like you killed that British soldier?

What did Lamai tell you?

That you're a pirate.

That you saved his life...

and that I can trust you.

I can help you free your men.

My brother is a slave at the mines.

Lamai died with the hope
that you would help us free our people.

Lamai was delirious.

As for freeing my men,
you're not old enough, kid.

When is Lamai to be buried?

I will bury him on my own,

according to our ritual.

Your clothes are there.

Enjoy your party.

This Ismail...

is as much of a merchant as I am.

He seems rather intimate
with Lady Marianne.

Is that why you are so fixated with him?

Whoever this Ismail may be,
he'll never be an option for Marianne.

You really like that girl...

Yes.

And the fact that she's
the Consul's daughter is an added bonus.

You aspire to become Consul?

The power in Sarawak doesn't lie solely
in the hands of the English Consul.

Are you referring to the Sultan of Brunei?

The Sultan reigned over Sarawak
long before the English arrived.

There must be a reason
they didn't remove him

but made a deal instead.

My prahu and antimony...

Lost!

And where's this Dayak rebel
I was supposed to interrogate?

I don't know.

He stayed with the pirates.

Even our English escorts
failed to resist those devils.

Ah! The English fought bravely.

Their captain is dead, and yet...
what about you?

You are here.

Unscathed.

Does that seem fair to you?

- Your Highness...
- Answer me!

Is it fair?

No, Your Majesty.

Very well. God forgives the honest.

I, however, do not.

That Dayak was precious.
He could have led us to the rebel tribes.

Those savages would rather die
than reveal their location.

- The jungle is their territory.
- It's my territory.

And they must be exterminated
before they organize.

What if we asked the English for support?

I don't want to ask the English
for anything.

Lord Guillonk
must not know about the rebels.

At least not until I have
his daughter's hand in marriage.

The Consul won't be in favor
of his daughter marrying a Malaysian.

Women love luxury.

I was rather rude to him
the last time we met.

I hope he's not offended.

After all these years, I've learned never
to underestimate that bastard's pride.

Oh! My darling!

What a vision.

You look so beautiful.

Like your mother.

She was wearing this gown when I...
the night I first saw her.

- At the ball in Naples.
- Yes.

I was so excited
I stepped on her toes all night.

Oh...

...here we go.

Through Her Majesty's Consul,

I salute the power of England.

And I you...

our most precious ally, Your Majesty.

I'm very happy to have you here
for my daughter's birthday.

The Pearl of Labuan.

Please accept my humble homage.

To your beauty.

Where does he think he is? A bazaar?

Please, Marianne. Diplomacy.

Little one...

are you frightened?

These gifts are only a modest selection
of my kingdom's treasures.

Which I would be honored
to share with you.

- Don't you already have four wives?
- I shall repudiate them all for you.

You would do that?

For me?

What do you think, little one?

Could I be the Sultana of Brunei?

I don't like cages.

Not even golden ones.

Do you think
we'll have this much fun in London?

Oh! Here's our hero!

The valorous hunter of pirates and tigers!

This may not equal
other gifts you've received,

but it comes from the heart.

And I owe you the first dance.

You kept your word.

And you think I wouldn't?

I heard you can be volatile...

That you're not fond
of the company of men.

I believe you mean
the company of boring men.

I'm honored
to not be included in that category.

Don't flatter yourself.
You could end up in it in an instant.

I don't just seek amusement in a woman.

I want us to have something in common.

And... what do we have in common?

We were both raised in the colonies.

You here, and I, India.
So we're only half English.

London will never be our home.

If you're trying to woo me,

let me remind you that I am being sent
to London in a couple of days.

Two days is more than enough for me.

Do you want to know your worst defect?

You're too confident.

Too cocky.

When we were hunting,
it was my cockiness that saved your life.

If Ismail hadn't been there,

you might have still killed the tiger,

but then I wouldn't be here
dancing with you.

Fighting off the tiger with bare hands...
Doesn't it seem strange for a merchant?

As a matter of fact,
he quotes Shakespeare, too.

I see you know him well already.

By the way, where is he?

Sani. Please go and find Mr. Ismail.

Yes, Milady.

Drink?

I was looking for you. What are you doing?

Do you have anything
against me taking a souvenir?

What are you doing in here?

I...

I was accompanying Mr. Ismail to the party

and then I remembered that Lord Guillonk
wanted me to bring his Cross of Merit.

Then take it to him.

Now get out.

Get out!

Very nice.

Thank you.

I'm not a kid anymore, huh?

- Of course...
- I'm really more of a romantic...

Ismail!

Forgive my tardiness and happy birthday.

Thank you, although you didn't miss much.

Apart from a rather boorish display
by the Sultan.

The Sultan's riches are safe for now,
he found that excellent hound.

Ah...

I'm no hound, sir.

I'm a free man.

Quite like you for that matter.

Marianne tells me you've lived quite
the interesting and adventurous life...

I'm merely a merchant of silks.

I invested in textiles myself
back in India.

What kind of silk
are you transporting on your ship?

The kind of silk Lady Marianne is wearing.

The best there is.

Shantung.

Am I right?

I must correct you.

You claim to be an expert,

yet you can't tell the difference
between coarse silk and satin.

This is taffeta.

Unmistakably.

Hm.

May I have this dance?

Oh... You even know how to Waltz.
My, you are full of surprises.

- Do you mind?
- Oh. Of course.

I'm not much of a dancer.

Then I'll show you.

Follow the music.

Right, left...

Right, left...

- What do you make about the merchant?
- That he isn't a merchant.

Yeah, something
doesn't feel quite right to me either.

I found him
in the Consul's study earlier...

Tonight we enjoy the party.

I sent a carrier pigeon to Singapore.

Before dawn we'll know who he is.

Your aunt keeps glaring at us.

Maybe we should stop.

At least someone's having fun...

You're boiling hot.

A little fever won't stop me
when Sandokan comes to free us.

- If he's coming.
- Of course he's coming.

He is on his own.

If I were him, I'd be saving myself.

Well, you're not him.

He won't betray us.

He's our Captain.

You're just a coward.

A coward...

who's going to send
as many Englishmen to hell as possible

once they open that door tomorrow.

I can start with you if you want...

and spare you the gallows.

Hey! Hey! Cut it out! Cut it out!

Thank you and good evening.

Thank you for coming.

An excellent party, Lord Guillonk.

Clearly worthy of your daughter.

Since her mother died,

Marianne has been
the only light in my life.

It will be terrible for you
to be separated

when she leaves for London.

Unfortunately, there's no alternative.

There are always alternatives.

Labuan is a safe place now.

And I should be honored to protect
Marianne for the rest of her days.

I don't care what my aunt thinks.

In two days, I'll be far away from her,
far away from everything.

Sometimes I wish
I was strong enough to run away...

and leave all of this behind.

Then come with me on my ship,
we'll travel the world together.

You mock me...

I was wrong to confide in you.
You can't understand.

I do understand you.

I saw you on that cliff
before you found me,

before I lost consciousness.

What were you trying to do? Honestly.

I know what it means to look at the future
and see nothing but darkness.

And what do you do with that darkness?

You enter it... and look beyond.

But during these past few days...

I saw more than darkness in you.

I saw someone

who doesn't give up.

Someone who's full of desire
to know the world.

To be free.

That bracelet...

...where'd you get it?

It was a gift. From Lord Brooke.

It wasn't his to give.

What are you talking about?

You don't mean it
when you say you want to be free.

My freedom is what I covet the most.

You English
have a strange concept of freedom.

Money, commodities,
free to travel anywhere you please

while people are left imprisoned
by a thousand of your rules.

Even your clothing is a trap.

That is why I want to stay here,
so I can be who I want.

And who would that be? A nurse?

A hunter?

An aristocrat? An executioner?

Thanks to you, tomorrow those pirates
shall be hanged, you have all my respect.

I share no such passion for hangings,
Your Majesty.

You would have
those bandits pardoned instead?

No, I wonder
if there would even be such pirates

if your subjects had more to lose
than mere poverty...

My servants were born in the jungle.
All they understand is brute force.

There are more refined ways
than the gallows or the whip

to convince men to obey.

Enlighten me, Captain!

I'm so... sorry. I am...

You fool!

You can't even serve!

She's a servant.

And now she hates you.

You really don't get it, do you?

Take your hand off me.

That monster.

Are you all right?

I promise, I'll never allow
anything like that to happen again.

For now, please allow me to rinse my face.

Of course. Go ahead.

You really should be more diplomatic,
dear boy.

Muda Hashim is a bastard,
but he's our bastard.

Any bastard is replaceable.

You never cease to surprise me, Brooke.

But a word of caution.

The interests of the Crown
come before your ambitions.

Are we clear?

Then let the party continue!

Music!

What do you know of this Brooke?

Very little.

His father was a Lord,

a high-ranking Official
of the India Company.

But his son...

He invested his inheritance
in the Royalist to become a mercenary...

hungry for adventure.

Hungry for power.

Do you know
why the Consul and I understand each other

and always reach an agreement?

Common interests.

In part.

But mostly because I know his weaknesses,
his secrets, and he knows mine.

This Brooke must have his secrets too.

Don't give up, kid.

I need you.

Will you free my brother?

- You have my word.
- No. You have to swear.

I swear...

on the memory of Lamai.

What's the plan?

Well, I couldn't leave the party

without the honor of a dance,
Lady Guillonk.

May I?

As you wish.

Good night.

It seems our man Brooke can charm anyone.

Aunt Frances would have accepted a dance
with a server tonight.

Now, you owe her more respect than that.
You know she loves you.

She's the one who convinced you
to send me to London.

Well, it was my idea, too.

Until recently.

What do you mean?

Brooke has just asked me
for your hand in marriage.

And what did you say?

I said I needed time.

But I like him.

He reminds me of myself
when I was younger.

Ambitious... unscrupulous...
but most of all the way he looks at you.

I used to look at your mother that way.

Besides, you'd be safe here with him.

If I were to appoint him
garrison commander,

you could stay here in Labuan with me.

I'm...

I'm confused.

Who knew it would take a pirate hunter
to confuse my little girl?

I'm going to bed. Please,
deliver my apologies to the guests.

It's fantastic,
it's always been my favorite city...

Excuse me, I'll be right back.

To the hell with it.

What's all this about?
Brooke told me he proposed.

I thought that's what you wanted.

He wants to marry her to get ahead.
And, I imagine, hopes to take your place.

Ambition isn't a sin.

I'm getting older.

As will you.

You could raise
Marianne and James' children.

You want me to stay here and be a nanny?

If you wish,
you can return to London at any time.

I want to stay close to you...

take care of this house,

grow old by your side.

You've had too much to drink.
You're not making sense.

I don't know what to think.

James has asked me to marry him.

All of a sudden, I...

I feel that all my certainties
are being swept away.

All that matters
is that you are happy, Milady.

Is that all you have to say?

I'm just a servant.

What are you talking about?
You're like a sister to me, I told you.

Ouch!

Careful!

What's wrong with you tonight?

- Nothing.
- Is it about what the Sultan did to you?

Or is there something else?

You know me too well.

The truth is...

I'm sad that we won't be going
to London together.

Even if we stay here,

nothing will change.

You'll always be my best friend.

Oh, everything happened
all at once tonight.

James...

Me... slapping Ismail.

Do you think I offended him?

He didn't seem happy to me.

I must apologize to him.

We say that
a long-awaited apology turns sour.

Shall I call him for you now?

Yes.

That's the best thing to do.

And I'm sorry, again...

for earlier.

You've always been...

generous with me, Milady.

My, you're acting strange tonight.

Come on! I need it all done by morning!

What are you doing with those?
Planning on getting drunk?

They're for the garrison, silly...

But I tell you, we were the first ones in.

Look who's there.

Are you covering our shift tonight, beautiful?

Were you bored of the party
and looking to have some fun with us?

These are for starters.

You have a sip with us.

Alright.

Long live the Consul.

Like this! Like this!

Celebrate.

Spare a drop for the condemned?

That would be a waste.

Sani?

- Are you with...?
- It's me, James.

Forgive me, but I am not presentable.

It's me who's sorry.
I know I shouldn't even be here.

Just like I know
I'm not going to sleep a minute tonight.

Me neither.

Then we'll have something else in common.

I shall be counting every minute
and every second until I have your answer.

You're sweet.

But please,

promise me you won't spend
the entire night behind that door.

You're right, I'm acting like a fool.

Better foolish than conceited.

Tomorrow...

you'll have my answer.

Good night...

James.

Good night...

Marianne.

Lady Guillonk.

You haven't by chance seen
the Malaysian merchant, have you?

Why should I care about him?

Are you're alright, Milady?

Wonderful!

From lady of the house...
to nanny to my niece's unborn children.

Let me find someone
to help you to your room.

No, no, no!

Please.

I'm too ashamed.

Would you please accompany me?

Yes, of course.

Adams...

What does it say?

It says there's no report of a ship
named the Ibis leaving from Singapore.

Go tell the Captain.

At this hour?

We'd have to lower a jolly boat to travel
to shore. He's probably sleeping.

You're not drinking anymore?

I don't want to overdo it.

It's fun to overdo it.

You know what they say?

People who don't drink
in the company of others

are either thieves or spies.

You're playing hard to get...

Not here, in front of everyone.

Let's go then...

That was a good idea.

No one can see us here.

No, I...

That's enough
with your stupid little games.

I know what you want to do. Come on.

It's about time!

Murray was on my tail.

Now let's go take care of the others.
Come on.

It's him.

Help!

Hey...

I already imagined myself
dangling from a noose.

Did you enjoy the party at least?

The real party starts now.

- Can you walk?
- Well, I'll cover for you.

Give me two guns and some tobacco,

and I'll shoot all of them,
even if my ass is on the floor.

Nice line. Let's go and quick.

No one is guarding your ship.

She's coming with us.

Come on.

I told you.

What's taking her so long?

Madame?

- Have you seen Sani?
- Yes, Milady. A while ago.

- Where is she now?
- I saw her go towards the prison.

To do what?

I don't know.
She was carrying some bottles of gin.

Sani?

Sani?

Where has she gone? Sani!

Sani!

Where is this girl?

Sani?

Quiet. Understood?

I said quiet.

I apologize for the hour.

But I bring urgent news for the Captain.

Open the gates!

Open the gates!

Put me down! Get off me!

Tie her up!

I trusted you, bastard!

Take your hands off me!
Do you know who I am?

Let me go!
