Black Pirate

Go, Gordon!

Go, Gordon!

C'mon, Gordon! Kill him!

C'mon, go!

Fight as a man, Tortuga! Be loyal!

Gordon, throw him to the sharks!

You're a coward!

Move back! I can do it by myself!

C'mon!

Kill him, Gordon!

C'mon, Tortuga! Kill him!

Show no mercy, Gordon!

Do you think he has still got the right to live?

No!

No, captain, I'm unarmed. You aren't a killer.

Get up, c'mon! Stand up!

Quick!

Raise your head!

Be a man!

You're an ignoble person, Tortuga.

You know how much I despise slave drivers!

I had already warned you once!

Yes, I was mistaken, Gordon.

Piracy is one thing, human smuggling is quite another!

You sold entire families, women and even kids as slaves!

Yes, that's true, it's a dirty thing, I admit that.

I'll spare your life. - No!

But on one condition.

All that you want.

If I catch you again in slave trading, I swear in sight...

...of God that I'll cut out the only eye you're left with!

You have my word.

Have you seen which kind of man he's?

Will you fight under his or my flag?

I'll set sail to my base on the isle of Nueva Esperanza!

Those who want to join, follow me onto my ship!

Cheer up, Tortuga, our time will be up as well.

Damn him...

Hey, crewmen on deck! Land in sight!

Nueva Esperanza... We're home!

Tarto! Rudder to the port! - Yes, captain.

Long live Gordon!

Ah, Luana! You're more beautiful than ever!

Bonifacio, how are you and all the people?

Very well. - Fine.

Were the supplies enough? - Yes.

Well, everything couldn't be better here, could it?

Well, not exactly everything.

Juan, come here!

Let's see if our laws have been respected while I was away.

What's he charged with?

He beats his girlfriend.

Who's she?

You know how strict I'm about that, don't you?

Yes, Excellency. - So, why did you do that?

It was...self-defense, sir.

What should I do?

Well, if I were you,... - Yeah, but you aren't me!

Right.

So we shall turn around the situation.

We shall let the man be beaten by the woman!

The prisoner to you. - No!

Next.

He drinks too much and bothers the girls.

Especially one, my daughter Luana.

What do you have to tell, Luana? What did this man do to you?

He was drunk and all of the sudden came closer and held me like that!

I ran away and he chased me. Both of us were running,...

...I tried to pull away from him...

...but I went down to the beach and...I didn't know...

...what else to do. - What's happened then?

He grabbed and kissed me!

How many times? - Once.

Once. - Only once?

Sure, I kicked him like that!

Ouch!

Pepe, aren't you ashamed of what you did?

Well, yes, maybe, captain, since I got drunk and made some noise.

But not for kissing that beautiful girl, captain.

You know the laws of this isle. Are you guilty or not?

It depends...

I humbly apologize, captain, my head's a bit foggy.

May I have just a little drink to clear my head?

I just feel dizzy. - Answer!

Guilty or not? - Guilty for sure, captain.

Ten lashes!

Bonifacio, after the sentence is carried out, give him a bit of rhum.

You're a real gentleman, captain!

Are you pleased with my sentence, Luana?

Yes, sir. - Fine.

He's a disgusting person! He even stank of rhum.

And then he was the wrong one. - The wrong one?

There should be some men I'd like to be kissed by.

There's a man I wouldn't kick if he kissed me.

Let's go ahead, Bonifacio.

Next case is about a theft which...

Captain! - What's up? Slave drivers have set sail again.

Slave drivers!

Is he dead? - Yes, since a few minutes.

He escaped an English slave ship.

He was just able to say that they were heading Cuba.

From where? - He died before I could ask him.

Assemble the crew, we shall set sail immediately.

Yes, sir.

Give him a Christian burial.

Hurry! - Hey you over there! Quick!

Yeah, I'm calling you! - C'mon!

Quick with that rope!

Ah! How could you get on board? - With my legs.

Someone must have helped you! - Yes, but I can't tell you who.

Keep in mind that it's all my fault, though.

I bat my eyelashes at him and he let me get on board.

I'd teach you a nice lesson! Do you know we shall fight?

So I'll fight too! - You might even die!

It would be a pity...

Well, you're here by now, I can't have you thrown into the sea.

I guess so!

Juan! - Yes, sir.

Bring her down, tell the cook to prepare something to eat...

...for her and then find a place where she can sleep.

Yes, sir. After you, miss.

Juan, let her bed be far from the crew's room.

Yes. - And very far from yours.

I obey, sir.

Cook! Feed her!

A ship incoming starboard!

It looks like an English ship. - It's heading south, south-east.

All the crew be ready for action! - All men be ready for action!

They're coming at us.

I'm afraid there will be some troubles, it's the Indomitable.

The Black Pirate? - Yes.

We aren't able to face him.

Let's catch all the wind!

We must keep ourselves out of their reach as much as possible!

Let's send them a strong message!

Let's point the starboard cannons at them!

Ready!

Ready? Fire!

Things are getting ugly. What will you order?

Let's stay on course.

Get ready to return fire!

We won't be able to escape them, captain.

That ship is superior than ours for sails and firepower.

Damn!

We can't get caught with the loading on board!

Let's get rid of it. - Yes, sir.

Ready?

Fire!

Have them thrown into the sea!

C'mon!

Have mercy! - Quick!

C'mon! Hurry up!

C'mon! Quick!

Have them thrown into the sea! Quick!

They're throwing all our mates into the sea!

All of us shall end up like that!

Down into the sea!

They're throwing the loading into the sea from downwind.

Captain, it seems to me that they're men.

Slaves, poor devils...

Let's cease fire, we might hit them!

Boarding parties, get ready!

Everybody get on the deck!

Get ready for the fight! Everybody, let's hit your posts!

Quick!

Ready? Fire!

Fire!

I want to fight!

Go back down to your cabin!

I want to fight with you! - Get in, I said!

No! - Go back down there!

Listen, there's a pirate ship which is about to attack us.

We shall have to fight. But I have good news for you.

The captain gave orders to set you free.

You'll set us free as you did with our mates!

Throwing us to the sharks! - Shut up!

I've got a message for you, filthy slave driver!

From all the people you robbed and sold in chains!

I was just fulfilling some orders!

So you'll fulfill mine! The order of your death!

Long live Gordon!

Sir, you've saved our lives and we're very grateful.

Can you tell me which port you were embarked at?

No, captain, we don't know.

We have been marching for days and nights without stopping...

...and our eyes were blindfolded.

I'm interested in knowing that.

The headquarterts of slave drivers must be there.

Are you a head, aren't you? - Yes, sir.

The head of the Kelauda tribe. - From the Gold Coast, right?

Yes, sir.

Let's tug this ship! - Yes, sir.

Look here, captain.

This guy must be an officer.

Fine. The second officer on board.

I want some information from you.

Where did you embark those slaves?

I'm sorry, sir, but I wasn't employed...

...to meddle in the ship owner's business.

Who did embark them? Tell me his name.

No? Give him a lot to drink.

He will speak.

Lay him down.

This ship hasn't been at sea that long.

The hold is still dry.

It's been leaving the last mooring since a few days certainly.

Have you taken the loading at a harbour of this coast, haven't you?

Stop it!

Let's see if he answers.

He's an obstinate guy, sir. - Right.

Maybe he prefers the seawater. - No!

No! I'll speak!

C'mon.

Sir, I can't tell you many things.

I'll be satisfied with a few ones, as long as that's the truth.

Well, we left from San Salvador.

Heading which harbour?

I don't know. I swear I don't know!

Your life will be spared if you tell me who sent the slaves.

I don't know this either!

I only know it's a man with an eye patch on...

...and a scar on his forehead.

Tortuga... It's Tortuga!

That damned guy has started it again!

And San Salvador is his base!

We shall go there. Set him free.

Helmsman! Set a course for north, north-east!

Yes, captain!

We shall punish that damned Tortuga eventually!

Yes!

We shall face that vulture in its nest!

Do you like my new dress?

Holy smoke! Is this the dress you made for her?

But she can't go ashore like that!

Can't I? - Of course you can't!

Well...so you'll buy me some dresses like those for...

...the great ladies, won't you? - Yes.

When we're at San Salvador.

How elegant.

You just look like a Spanish gentleman.

I'll show up as such, that is as a Spanish gentleman. No!

From Cuba.

Don Carlos Bastia. - Right! Don Carlos Bastia...

A rich land owner from Cuba.

You're so handsome, Don Carlos, sir.

You're fascinating.

Luana, you're able to make me feel terribly ridiculous.

How can you be ridiculous if you're so handsome?

Being handsome is nothing to be ashamed of.

Listen to the captain!

Before going ashore, I want to warn you that as long as we're...

...at the isle of San Salvador we won't be pirates!

Just for such period we shall be some respectable...

...law abiding citizens, so nodoby's allowed to pick...

...fights with the people! Got it?

Yes!

I want to see all of you dressed up like gentlemen!

Understood? Was I clear? - Yes!

Hooray!

This is the last one.

Not even a shadow of slave drivers at the harbour.

That English man had no interest in telling us lies.

Try there and then into the caves in the town.

And come back to inform me. - Yes, sir.

Her Highness, the princess Anita Lotardo...

...De Gonzales y...Puerto Rico.

Do you like me more now?

Is this the garment you wanted so badly?

Didn't I do a good choice?

Don't I look like one of the great ladies of the isle too?

My dear Luana, I've never seen anything like this by land or sea.

Don't you like my dress? - I preferred the one made by canvas.

Well, I do like it!

And I'm sure I look better than many ladies here.

No, dear Luana, no, do not envy those great ladies.

You just have to stay the same.

A dear and simple girl with no ambition.

Juan!

The list of the invites for my daughter's birthday...

...threatens to become longer than the taxpayers' one,...

...if we don't stop. - Yet there would be one more name...

...to add, Excellency: Don Carlos Bastia.

Don Carlos Bastia?

Yes, he's a big owner of plantations from Cuba, as I was told.

Isn't he that guy going around the town together...

...with a Creole girl? - Yes, but she's a very...

...beautiful girl, Excellency. - Gorgeous. I dare to say her figure...

C'mon! - Forgive me, Excellency.

All right, let's invite him.

Let's hope he will have the decency not to take that Creole girl.

As you wish. - Father.

May I remind you that it's time you go and get ready?

Get ready? Why?

For the feast of this evening, the dragon's feast.

You promised to take me there. - No, my dear daughter.

I just promised to think about it and I did that.

So what?

I decided no, Manuela.

That feast keeps getting more troubled each year.

I don't think it's suitable for you.

But, father, I was really looking forward to it.

I was already missing it a year ago, don't you remember?

I prefer to avoid confusion on purpose.

I'm afraid I'll have to forbid you to go there.

Father... - No, Manuela, that's my decision.

But if you don't want to go there, I could go with someone else.

I would gladly do that...

Excuse me, my dear, I've got a very important Council meeting.

Manuela.

I'm afraid it's pointless to try to persuade your father.

I know how much you care about it and if you allow me...

I've asked you for nothing, sir.

Yes, that's true, but I'd be glad to please the woman I love.

If you want, I could go with you to the feast tonight.

Secretly, of course.

Does my father's trusted councillor use to disobey him, perhaps?

You're severe, my dear Manuela.

I wouldn't choose to wrong His Excellency in searching...

...the company of the woman I love.

I don't think my father would appreciate your gallantry a lot.

In any case, his daughter doesn't at all.

C'mon, tell me, what have you discovered?

Not a lot, captain, people keep their mouths shut twice.

Any sign of Tortuga? - No sign.

If this is the centre of slave trade, there must be some...

...clue revealing this activity!

I've discovered something but I don't know how much it counts.

What? - There's an old ship,...

...perhaps a slave ship, accurately hidden in a bay in the nearby.

It may be a Tortuga's ship.

Send some men to the coast to keep an eye on that ship...

...and then keep us informed. - Yes, sir.

Keep on searching amongst the seedy sides of the town.

C'mon, go. - All right, sir.

If your father came to know I've taken you here tonight,...

...poor me! - It's a wild and funny show.

We must come back home, it's late by now.

Are you afraid, Rosita? - Yes.

Do not worry.

Look, my friends, the Governor's daughter honours us with her presence!

Let's go. - Wait!

Do not run away, my beautiful lady.

Look at the scars I've got on my chest!

Her father's guards did to me at the castle!

It was the right punishment for him! He's just a thief!

What? Have you heard? Me a thief?!?

All of you well know me!

Has Mondos ever taken anything which wasn't rightfully his?

The time has come for me to take revenge!

Help!

C'mon, bigmouth, show me if you can play the hero with me...

...like you did with this undefended girl.

Let's run away, girls!

Move back, knaves! Go back!

Young ladies, congratulations for your agility.

We have to thank you for saving us.

Thanks to you too, sir.

I don't have the privilege to save a nice lady like you every day.

You're still breathless.

Would you like to sit down? - It's late.

We have been too long at the feast and must go back home quickly now.

Young ladies ought not to go alone at this time by night.

I'll accompany you. - No, it won't be necessary.

We're safe now and know the way.

Two persons who shared such an adventure...

...can't leave each other this way. We have to meet again.

It's not possible.

You were so brave and I'd like to hope you're also a gentleman.

Tell me your name, at least.

Rosita!

Simple people have a simple solution for their problems.

I envy them.

It's almost dawn, I've to go now. Thank you again.

I'm mostly concerned about your conduct tonight, Rosita.

I saw you kissing the servant of that stranger who saved us.

You saw him kissing me, Miss. - But you didn't stop him.

You didn't resist at all. - No, Miss, he was so cute.

Really?

What must that gentleman think about me, seeing that...

...my maid behaved so thoughtlessly? - What do you care about what...

...he thinks? You said you'd never meet him again.

You said it seriously, didn't you? - Of course I did.

Have you come to know his name? - Whose name?

Of your man, of course. - No, I didn't ask him.

What? How could you do that, Rosita?

I asked him for his master's name, I thought you'd like...

...to know it. - Well, I'm not interested at all.

This is not the first time you change your mind.

Only about the little things but never about such matters.

So it's pointless to tell you that he's a distinguished...

...and very rich owner of plantations from Cuba and that his name is...

What?

Oh, you're really a witch, Rosita. You'd deserve a punishment.

But he was so fascinating and gallant.

In short, you want me to believe that you hugged and kissed that...

...girl without being able to know who she was.

To be honest, sir, after the first kiss I wasn't very interested...

...in knowing who she was. I only knew I got an angel...

...into my arms. - Idiot!

Couldn't you ask her name at least?

I'm sorry but I just didn't think about it.

But I came to know her mistress' name.

But that's what I want to know! Tell me, what's her name?

Manuela. - Oh, Manuela.

Yes, Manuela, but then? What's her surname?

Where does she live?

Ah, I don't know that, sir, I only know her name's Manuela.

Manuela! There must be hundred of Manuelas on this isle!

I'm sorry, captain. - Idiot! It was a dream...

...which was about to come true and "Puff!",...

...you made it disappear this way.

Believe me, sir, I wish I could say: "Puff!"...

...and made it be back. - Go!

Go, before I lose my patience!

Puff!

Excellency.

Make sure we're not disturbed.

Yes, Excellency. Thanks.

Well, what's happened?

The English slave ship was attacked by the Black Pirate.

The Black Pirate? If the Black Pirate is sailing...

...through these waters, this is the end for us.

We're ruined. - No, we won't be ruined if...

...we have enough ships to protect our trade.

Thanks, you can go now.

An entire fleet will be needed to protect us from the Black Pirate.

I know that man.

We shall have an entire fleet when I become Governor.

When? How do you think you can make it?

Thanks to your help, of course. - What do you want from me?

You'll get ready to open fire on the castle from the sea...

...if my opening move should fail.

You seem to be too sure about your plan.

I don't promise any help to you if I can't see this thing through.

I'll explain.

I've the intention to marry the Governor's daughter.

Does she agree? - It doesn't matter.

My plan is perfect. After the marriage, an accident...

...will happen to the Governor.

And it won't be difficult for me as a son-in-law to succeed to him.

Of course this depends on a key factor.

That is? - Money.

To corrupt some senior officials of His Majesty's government.

I need to sell some slaves as soon as possible.

There's a very rich owner of plantations from Cuba in our town.

He seems eager to buy a lot of them. - You'll have the slaves.

Where will you find them? There's no time to reach the Gold Coast.

I've got another handy source.

Fine.

I don't want to see any of your men at San Salvador until it's time.

At your orders, Governor.

Miss.

What a nice surprise to see you again.

Surprise? But you were waiting for me.

Your honesty is adorable. I'll be honest as well.

Yes, that's it. I supposed you'd like to ride...

...and I was looking for you everywhere I could meet you.

So, do you like to waste your time?

I didn't waste my time since I have met you again.

Miss, you're fascinating.

Thank you, I'm flattered by your compliments.

Don't you want to tell me who you're?

Oh, I could, if I were interested in knowing who you're.

For now I'm just a girl you have met by chance.

Your way to meet me again is rather tactless.

Probably my manners are but not my intentions.

Which are your intentions, if you please?

Since this could be the last time I see you,...

...that's my intention for now.

The slave drivers!

Save yourself if you can!

Don't let anybody run away!

Catch them!

Chase them! Catch them all!

Let's go!

Quick!

Not my son!

Quiet or they will find us!

Other people are over there!

We already have enough people, let's go!

Let's go!

How much for this painting?

Miss, this is a masterpiece.

Forget him, he's an old swindler.

Have you ever seen more beautiful colors, such refinement and mastery?

That's a painting which will look great in a salon...

That ship would disgust a seaman.

It has enough sails for an entire fleet.

The sea looks too calm given that wind.

It beats to windward from the wrong side.

And, most of all, that's the wake of an almost motionless ship.

If it's worth something, in any case that's the triple of its price.

Take it. - Thanks, sir.

May I? With my best courtesy.

Oh, no! - Please, accept it.

Thank you. Are you a seaman or an artist?

I don't think it makes such a big difference.

Sailing is just an art.

No, I'm an owner of plantations from Cuba, my name's Carlos Bastia.

What's yours? I know your name's Manuela.

What's your surname? - Manuela.

Manuela Manuela? - Are you stammering?

It's your fault, you've the power to confuse me.

Yes, I'm a bit shy after all, really. And then I've got a problem.

I've got an invitation for the ball at the Governor's castle...

...this evening and I haven't got a lady to accompany.

I would gladly go there if the lady were you.

Please, you'll save me from dying of boredom, Manuela.

Do you really think you'll get bored? - Oh, yes.

But the Governor has a daughter. - Better for him.

Please come with me. - No, sorry, I'd never do that.

Why not? - Because it's not my place.

Your place should be by my side!

And let all the castle fops go to hell!

Fine.

Listen, I can't promise I'll come to the ball with you...

...tonight but I promise we shall meet very soon.

Pay my respects to the Governor.

Here's Miss Manuela Cortez de Castiglia.

Here's the Governor, my father.

Miss Anita Lotardo de Gonzales y Puerto Rico.

Will you start the ball? - Sure, my dear.

With your permission.

Don't you want to dance with me?

Yes, Anita, later.

Both of us have been defeated.

Will we cry together, sir?

We'd better drink a cup of good wine, don't you think?

Are you having fun, Dolores? - A lot.

It's interesting, isn't it?

I'll waste this night if I don't dance with you.

So you can consider it like that.

All my dancing is reserved.

May I have the pleasure of this next dance?

What? - Will you dance?

Oh, yes, sure, later.

Couldn't you do anyone some little wrong for one dance at least?

Just one.

You can't expect anything from me and then...

...you're together with a charming lady.

You must remember I asked you for coming with me but what...

...have you answered? Oh, yes! "I'd never do that,...

...it's not my place" and you refused.

For a very good reason: I don't use to make committments...

...with men I met by chance.

If you had told me who you're, I could have known what to do.

Please, won't you think twice and honour me with this next dance?

Sorry, Mr Bastia, but...

Our women are hard, you must have noticed that.

But they will always end up dropping their weapons.

They're not different from the women from the rest of the world.

They play just hoping they will lose.

I bow to the expert judgement.

You travel a lot, apparently. - Yes, enough.

Are you from Cuba? - My plantations are there.

Cuba, I must go there one day, it's a nice isle, they say.

Oh, it's wonderful but I'm worried about my plantations.

Why? - For shortage of labour.

We're terribly short of labour there.

That's why you came to San Salvador?

I know there's a plenty of labour here.

And also it's rather cheap, from what I heard.

Sir, I think we should have a longer private talk about...

...such matter. Will we go to a salon and have some drink?

Gladly.

To your health, sir.

Thanks.

When you talk about cheap labour, you're bringing up a subject...

...which is particularly delicate for the government of San Salvador.

I'm aware of that.

The Governor is very worried and willing to clean the isle...

...of slave drivers and I'm in charge of stamping out...

...such infamous activity. - I guess your job isn't that easy.

Slave drivers are very sly. We know they have their...

...headquarters in one of the dives at the lower harbour.

And we suspect that their main agent is a certain Corrao.

Corrao... - Yes, he's Portuguese.

He runs his activity under our noses and we couldn't...

...gather decisive evidence against him yet because...

...he's a greatly sly man.

Very interesting. - Come in.

His Excellency the Governor requests your presence.

Thanks.

Sir, if you get in touch with the slave drivers, we shall be...

...very grateful for the information you could give us.

Sure, I'll inform the Governor quickly.

Thank you, sir.

You must understand my situation.

I must watch our merchandise very carefully.

I fully understand, Mr Corrao.

Will you bring the gold when we go into the cave...

...where the slaves are hidden? - I'll give you as soon as...

...I've checked the merchandise.

You'll find all men strong and suitable for your activity.

Fine.

I've to go now.

Pleased to see you again tomorrow.

It'll be indeed my pleasure.

You can't imagine how happy this meeting has made me.

Thank you, sir. - You're welcome.

Good night. - Good night.

They should have already come here by now.

Trust Corrao.

The road is windy, you must go slow.

They will come.

I can't wait to sell these slaves.

They're the most undisciplined ones I've ever seen.

The Black Pirate has tampered them too much.

Look, here's Corrao coming, together with the dupe from Cuba.

Holy smoke!

What's up?

Would that guy be the rich land owner?

Yes. - Do you know who he's?

His name's Carlos Bastia. - He's the Black Pirate!

You've thrown him against us.

Keep calm, Tortuga.

You've forgotten that man's bringing a fortune in gold.

We could put our hands on his gold without any trade.

Which gold? He carries nothing but the iron of his sword.

Right, but anyway we could turn this thing into an advantage.

And I'll be able to settle an old account with him.

Yes. Come, he mustn't see us here.

We have come, sir, follow me.

I've to say that you're a great horseman.

The travel has been rather tough.

Yes, I get by.

Stand up!

Get up, c'mon!

Here they are, Mr Bastia.

What do you say?

Watch them, sir: young, resistant to effort, obedient, strong and healthy!

You, come here!

Show your teeth.

I'm satisfied. - Go!

I'll purchase all of them! - Easy, my friend!

Don Carlos Bastia, right? A real gentleman.

Nice disguise.

Tortuga, you haven't learned the lesson yet, have you?

You go on with your filthy trade!

And it's going well.

Look, I've even caught the Black Pirate's subjects!

And now I'll catch the Black Pirate himself!

Try to reach the Indomitable!

And now you'll deal with me, Gordon!

No! I've already told you.

Alive he will be much more useful for me.

The capture of the Black Pirate will raise my prestige.

You won't have to waste too much time to decide...

...the fate of this guy, Excellency. He's hated...

...all over the isles and known as the Black Pirate.

I'm hated by you and the people of your kind!

This man is the head of slave trade on your isle!

Can you hear how he's driving crazy, Excellency?

It will be of no use for you...

...to slander the loyal collaborators of my government.

You've misplaced your trust, Excellency.

This man is a vulture which speculates on human suffering!

Quiet! - What's happening?

What's this man charged with?

This is the Black Pirate, that is Don Carlos Bastia.

Luckily for you, he's fallen into my trap before that...

...you fell into his.

I didn't mean to harm you, I swear.

Believe me, Manuela.

You've cheated me, though.

I had to hide my identity to find the head of slave trade!

But you're a pirate, you can't deny that!

If fighting slave drivers is piracy, then I won't.

We must be grateful to Romero, my dear.

This man was a great danger for all of us.

This case has nothing but a solution.

You've captured him, it's up to you to condemn him.

He will be hanged.

Tomorrow morning on the public square.

Who's it?

Luana, it's me, open! - Father!

You, here? What's happened?

Bad news, my dear. - Gordon was captured.

We must save him! At any cost!

Let's go!

C'mon, don't keep on exercising yourself like that.

I've been so stupid, Rosita, since I let him cheat me so easily.

But he's so fascinating.

He will have to die tomorrow morning. - Right.

And who condemned him will keep on cheating all the people around.

How unfair!

Are you meaning Romero?

Yes, sure, he'd have a date with the executioner!

Do not talk like that, Rosita. Romero's a governative official.

You might be charged with treason.

What are you doing here?

I want to talk to you, you must listen to me!

I don't know your feelings for Gordon but I know he loves you,...

...with all his soul. You can't let them kill him without...

...trying to save him! - What could I do?

Talk to your father, tell him that Gordon's not guilty...

..and loved by all the people. Please, miss, I beg you!

If he dies, all our people will die without him.

But how can a pirate be loved by such a lot of people?

Why? I just don't get it.

Because he was a slave himself.

His family was very important in Cuba but once he rebelled...

...against an unfair law, was caught and sold to slave drivers.

Now you can realize why this man has dedicated all his life to...

...fight against such infamous trade.

Yes, I got it now. And I'll help you out.

Guards are on patrol duty.

You'd better go now. - First, you've to promise that...

Yes, I promise.

Manuela! - Sssst! Or they will hear you.

Manuela, I have to explain... - There's no need.

I came to know everything and I'm setting you free now.

Over there.

Be careful. - Yes, my dear.

The best thing to do is to take Bonifacio, Luana and the...

...rest of our people back to NueVa Esperanza.

After we unload them, we shall go after Tortuga.

A ship drifting to starboard!

It's flying the Spanish flag, captain.

It's strange, it seems to be derelict.

Let's go closer!

Rudder to left!

Prepare a lifeboat! - Yes, sir.

We're late, they must have seen us and escaped.

Search below deck.

You, take a look on the deck.

Captain! He's still alive.

Maybe we have one chance to save him.

Take him on board of the Indomitable.

Nobody on the deck. - And neither below, captain.

Let this poor people be buried at sea, then...

...let's tow this ship. - Yes, sir.

Why did you want me to go down to this filthy place?

Your father knows why. I want him to hear it personally.

It's an absurd story, father. I don't like it.

Be patient, my dear.

A serious accusation has been levied.

I've to make sure of it personally.

After you.

Who did hit you?

It was a woman, sir. - Have you identified this woman?

Yes, sir. - Who was her? - The Governor's daughter.

Manuela, how can you explain that?

This proves that your nice daughter was in on it with the Black...

...Pirate to make his escape easier.

It's absurd. - That's true, father.

I helped him to escape.

You made a serious mistake condemning him before...

...hearing him. He's the head of slave drivers on this isle!

The Black Pirate is ready to appear before you and bring...

...any evidence about this man's treason!

I'm afraid I'll have to check the truth of these statements...

...and I give you orders... - You'll have the chance...

...to check absolutely nothing! - What does this mean?

It means that these men and the rest of the castle guards...

...will take orders only from me from now on and that...

...you're my prisoner! Arrest him!

How dare you to offend my father in this way?

You'll pay for this! - You'll be hanged for this!

You're too stubborn, my dear.

You don't want to realize that by now your father has no power...

...and that I'm the Governor of San Salvador!

Take the lady to her room.

Treat her well but keep an eye on her!

Make it sure she won't try to escape.

I know I owe you my life, sir. I'll never forget it.

I'd be grateful if you tell me who you're and what happened...

...on your ship. - My name's Felipe Ortez y Contreras,...

...plenipotentiary of His Majesty the King of Spain.

Excellency. - No, thanks.

Could you describe the head of the pirates or give me some...

...details so that I can identify him?

I heard one of his men calling him "Tortuga".

We well know him, Excellency.

It's incredible how a person can be so frightfully cruel.

Do you know where he was heading after letting you drift?

Yes, north, north-east.

We shall sail in this direction, after a stopover at Nueva Esperanza.

Let's all set sail, we have no time to waste!

Yes, sir.

Gentlemen, I've called you to inform you about a very...

...serious event. His Excellency the Governor has disappeared.

Disappeared? How? - The Governor?!?

Can you tell us how things went? - I can't tell you much,...

...besides the fact that it just so happens that...

...the Governor's disappearance coincides with the Black...

...Pirate's escape. - So, tell us, do you...

...consider the worst? - I think that His Excellency...

...was taken as a hostage to guarantee this pirate's security.

As a deputy governor I've already emanated an edict ordering...

...the immediate capture of the Black Pirate dead or alive.

Romero's spies are snooping around everywhere.

You've to eat it quickly before it gets cold.

I'm not hungry. - It'll be pointless that...

...you end up a real skeleton. You need all of your strenght.

Rosita, you're watched less than me, could you get out of the castle...

...and bring a message to Gordon? - How can I find him?

He talked about the isle of Nueva Esperanza, maybe...

...you could reach him there.

Did anyone teach you that one must knock before...

...coming in a lady's room? - No, I haven't forgotten that,...

...my dear, but circumstances are such that I feel obliged not...

...to respect the etiquette. You can go.

I'm given orders only by my mistress.

Give her the order to get out, I want to talk to you alone.

Go.

May I sit down? - You'd do that the same.

Anyway I don't feel like asking you to do it.

Your attitude makes my task easier, my dear Manuela.

I was afraid I had to talk to you sensitively and cagily...

...but now I see that I can get to the point...

...without beating around the bush.

What do you want?

What I've been wanting since the first time I saw you.

To marry you.

If I were in another condition, I'd have laughed in your face.

Don't you feel you're ridiculous?

I thought you found my request obvious considering that...

...your father is my prisoner.

You're here to offer me the alternative to marry you or...

...to see my father killed?

You're shocked and I fully understand you but...

...I'm always clear in the questions concerning me.

The people of the isle love my father and wouldn't be reluctant...

...to revenge him. - I'll find an explanation...

...satisfing the people. - My father would like to die...

...rather than seeing me married with a brute like you.

I admit that there's some truth in what you're saying.

But are you ready to let him do this sacrifice?

The sacrifice of his life. I'm sure you aren't.

Anyway, I won't insist any longer for now.

I'll give you some time to think about it.

I'll wait for an answer by tomorrow.

Do not cry. Tonight I'm leaving for Nueva...

...Esperanza and talk to the Black Pirate.

I talked to your people and there's no doubt they really care for you.

I recognize that you've been doing a praiseworthy work...

...in ruling such community. - Thanks, Excellency.

And I won't fail to inform His Majesty about that.

Maybe it'll be possible to legitimate this situation...

...under the Crown's protection.

Rosita... Excuse me.

Rosita, why are you here? What's happened?

Romero has seized the power all of a sudden and closed Don Pedro...

...in the castle dungeon and expects my mistress to marry him...

...or her father will be killed. - What did he do to Manuela?

She's trapped in the castle.

Have you said that such Romero has unlawfully seized the power?

He acts as a Governor now but if he marries Don Pedro's daughter...

...he will be allowed a free rein.

San Salvador is a Crown's property. No one can take up power if...

...it's not given by the throne of Spain.

You must come to San Salvador as soon as possible.

Don Pedro and my mistress are in very serious danger.

Arm and equip His Excellency's ship. We shall need it too. - Yes, sir.

Do not worry, Romero won't carry out his plan.

Come, we shall take you back to San Salvador on the Indomitable.

Citizens and friends, in accordance with the decision taken by the Council...

...during the meeting we had a while ago, the Governor's...

...powers over this isle are now in my hands.

I'm happy to announce that, filling Don Pedro's wish,...

...the man at whose service I've been for many years,...

...his daughter Manuela and me will be joined in marriage.

Hooray!

It won't be that easy, sir, Romero's strong and...

...rules the isle with an iron hand.

As to iron, we also have got a lot of it!

Signal Don Felice's ship that we're coming closer to the castle.

Yes, sir.

And now, my friends, we have got a nice job to do.

Remember that the next minutes will decide your father's fate.

It's the Black Pirate! He's bombing us from his ships.

Bring her to her room!

Use any means but stop that man!

What are you doing? Can't you see those ships are in your sights?

What are waiting for? Open fire!

Yes, sir.

Fire!

Fire!

Fire! Concentrate all of your firepower!

Exterminate those bandits, c'mon! Fire!

Damn! Come!

C'mon!

C'mon!

Romero! We can't resist the Black Pirate!

Really? Well, there's a way to stop him, follow me.

To the walls!

Let's go ahead! Attack!

Tarto! Bonifacio! Attack!

Attack!

Come! - Where will you take me?

Let's go!

Gordon!

Luana!

Gordon, careful!

Luana!

Manuela...

Romero and Tortuga have taken... her...

...they have taken her away... - Do not speak, Luana.

I saw her. Save her...she's in danger.

Probably she must have been taken on board of that slave ship...

...which I saw hidden in an inlet.

If we don't stop them in time, Tortuga and Romero will...

...be able to set sail and escape us forever.

Luana!

Gordon, go...

...you have to save her... she loves you.

She loves you...

...almost as much I've loved you...

We can't fight with the cannons since Manuela's on that ship.

I'll just have to get on board and rein them as long as possible.

You take your men beyond the promontory and get ready...

...to swim for the ship. - Yes, sir.

Let's go.

I don't care that you'll settle your old accounts with...

...the Black Pirate, I only care about getting again...

...my position as Governor of San Salvador.

And I don't care about your quarrels with the Governor's daughter.

Remember that I accepted her on board only because...

...that girl is our only protection against...

...the Black Pirate's cannons!

I don't like your attitude, Tortuga.

If you had paid heed to me, we'd be far away now.

At this point Gordon would have already attacked us.

Did you forget he has got two well armed ships?

And by now I've got a few crewmen in bad condition on my ship.

All right. What do you suggest to do?

We shall leave only after it gets dark, we shall be forced...

...to do a long trip to safely reach my base, where...

...we shall gather other men to attack San Salvador again.

What if our attack will be successful?

In this case I'll get the upper hand.

And you, my dear Romero, will be left with the nice Governor's daughter.

Understood? - Perfectly.

Drink!

Take advantage, as tough days will come then!

Well done. He's made it.

Manuela!

Oh, Gordon, I knew you were coming...

Manuela, are you feeling well? - Yes, but I'm scared.

Do not worry, I'm here now, I'll save you.

Hey, lookout! Come and drink too!

Gordon!

Oh, my God, protect him...

Hey, friends! I'm thirsty too!

Who will get me something to drink?

Let's make a nice toast! - The Black Pirate! To arms!

Attack him! Catch him!

C'mon, go! Attack him!

Let's go, guys! It's up to us!

Where's your captain?

Go and tell him I'm here to settle the accounts!

The Black Pirate!

Damn him!

Welcome, gentlemen!

Stop him!

Weight anchor! Set sail!

One man only is tearing this ship out of your hand!

What kind of captain are you?

Set sail!

Quick with that rope!

What are you waiting for, lazy bones?

Go ahead, cowards!

Fine!

They have set sail! Quick before they go too far!

Quick! C'mon!

He's cutting the sails. C'mon! We can make it!

Do not move! Quiet!

Quiet, Manuela! - Let me go!

Come!

It's up to me and you, Tortuga!

Your time is up, Tortuga! - No, yours!

Captain, hurry, come here!

Gordon, help!

Gordon! - Do not move!

Nobody move or all of us will go to hell together!

The situation has changed now my friend, hasn't it?

Now you're in my hands!

You can't do much to help her, Gordon!

You can do nothing both for you and the men on board!

I'll destroy all of you if you don't do what I order.

What do I have to do?

I want you to leave this ship together with your crewmen!

And do not try to chase us or I'll kill this woman!

All of us will blow up in a few seconds!

What kind of men are you? Haven't you got the guts anymore?

Rebel against your leader! You have no choice!

Will you die just because the Black Pirate is too stubborn...

...to save your lives? Get rid of him before it's too late!

Save yourself, Gordon! Save your men!

The fuse's getting shorter, you'd better decide!

Before it's too late! - No!

Hooray!

Hooray!

I wish you much happiness.

Also I want to join everyone's jubilation, announcing to you...

...a greeting present coming from my king.

It gives me great pleasure to inform that any accusation...

...against you will be forgotten forever.

You'll keep on ruling Nueva Esperanza...

...under the protection of our flag.

THE END
