You don't seem as hard as hickory to me,

General Jackson.

>> In your hands, Mandel, I am nothing but

Woodfall.

>> General,

>> aren't those two of Leit's pirates?

>> Yes, Mr. Dunwood. We can thank our lucky

stars. They weren't fighting for the

British.

>> Look at them. Yesterday they were

trembling. Today they danced. Tomorrow

they won't even remember there was a

war.

>> Oh, you are John the thief.

>> I was just

>> You have helped save New Orleans, miss

you.

>> No. No, nonsense. He He's not lucky. No.

>> Oh, then you must be lovey.

>> Oh, you have the gratitude of every

woman in New Orleans, Mr. Are they cute?

>> How How could they ever mistake either

one of us for a

>> I don't know, but the longer the chief

stays up there in that meeting, the more

gratitude we're going to get. So, more.

>> Mr. Lefit, you misunderstand. Perhaps

you deliberately misunderstand.

President Madison is fully cognizant of

the great service you have done the

United States and he has kept his

promise by granting you a full pardon.

>> But you, Governor Clayborn, confiscate

my ships, and the refused to return them

to me.

>> A new era in American history is

beginning. Sir, your ships were ceased

to make certain that piracy on the high

seas is at an end.

>> But I told you my plans. I need those

vessels to start a legitimate shipping

business, nothing else.

>> With only your word as a guarantee.

You're not afraid of me becoming a

pirate, Marvel. Your ships sail under a

Spanish charter. You're afraid of

American competition.

>> Competition.

You are still nothing but a cheap

thieving pirate to me. Lafit,

>> your decision is final.

>> It is. You do not get your ships.

>> Made a mistake, gentlemen.

[Music]

That meeting upstairs has taken a little

too long to suit me. But why did they

have a meeting on a night like this

anyway?

[Music]

Oh, will you stop walking up and down?

You got my eyes feeling like the

pendulum of a clock.

>> A clock has a prettier face.

>> Touche.

Hey,

maybe we worry needlessly. I'll wager

they're just giving him another medal.

Medal? Medals? You know what medals are

for? Just something to show your

children. And Jean Leit's a bachelor. He

has no children.

[Music]

>> Have you seen Sergeants Dominic and Bel?

Yes, I saw them headed for the terrace a

short while ago, sir.

>> Thank you.

[Music]

>> Mr. Lick, Mr. Luch,

>> we're going to war with Spain.

>> War? We just got through with the war.

>> This war is going to give us ships

legally. We'll be fighting for

ourselves.

>> Oh, that kind of war I like.

>> So do I. Assemble the men at the warf

and hurry.

[Music]

>> Ah, the masterful Jean Leaf, conqueror

of beautiful ladies and the enemy. If my

country only had such men to help us

fight Spain. Perhaps we have more in

common than you think.

>> So

>> may I talk to you alone?

>> By your means.

>> Excuse me, gentlemen.

>> So you want to fight for Venezuela,

Michi?

>> Yes, I do.

>> But if I do issue letters of Mark, which

will allow you to war against the Spain

under our flag, how can you fight

without ships?

>> I'll get ships.

>> Mhm. I'm sure you will. And your

headquarters, you can't operate from

American soil.

>> From Galveastston Island. It belongs to

your ally Mexico. You will see to it

that Mexico issues a grand of land.

>> Galveastston, a dangerous territory.

The Karankawa Indians. The island is big

enough for both of us.

>> Mashit, as consul for Venezuela, and in

behalf of all the nations at war with

the Spain, I accept your offer.

>> You won't regret it, sir. Your country

will receive every Spanish prize we take

after we've deducted our fair share.

>> Your captain's papers and letters of

mark will be drawn tomorrow.

In war in your maringa,

nothing waits till tomorrow.

Sit down.

Letters of Mark in a captain. captain's

commission in the Venezuelan Navy.

I can't believe that my uncle forced you

to do this.

>> He will do anything for power and money.

No one else could have influenced

Governor Claybornne to go back on his

promise to me. So, in the brief moment,

the man's whole destiny changes.

>> But you won't be able to stay in

American territory.

>> No, America is neutral. My headquarters

will be on Galveston.

>> Galveastston? It's a small island

400 miles west off the coast of Texas.

>> Then we'll be married immediately and

I'll go with you.

>> I can't take you to Galveastston now.

It's nothing but a jungle.

>> But I want to be with you wherever you

are.

>> You will be with me as soon as I have a

home and a future to offer you.

>> But how can you build a future without

ships?

>> I'll have ships.

[Music]

Well, I must go.

>> Alan, take me with you.

[Music]

>> Bel, whatever people may say about

Jonafit,

you only hear the truth from me.

>> But how how will I hear from you?

>> Jack Sven, the merchant. He let you

know.

[Music]

The men are waiting.

[Music]

She's a dream crab already. She sits low

in the water. Must carry heavy cargo.

Plenty of provisions, huh? Ah, them

striders really know how to eat. I can't

wait to get me some of that Spanish

Sherry in my gizzard.

>> Make sure you don't get a Spanish blade

into your gizzard.

>> Touche.

All right, then. In exactly 10 minutes.

Now, Dominic, life confusion.

A few short weeks ago, we were hunted

with a price on our heads. Few short

minutes ago, great heroes with no price

on our heads.

>> Hey, tomorrow we'll be lucky if we got

any heads at all.

[Music]

>> My good man, is your captain aboard?

Seor.

>> Yes. No one is allowed aboard. We sail

with the tide.

>> On the contrary, you won't sail until

I've seen your Capitan. Where is he? In

his cabin. But the Capitan does not wish

to be disturbed. Get off this ship. I'm

so sorry, my friend.

[Applause]

[Music]

So, what's the meaning of this? What do

you want?

>> Since you put it so politely, Senor

Kavan, I want your ship. My sheep.

My letter is off mark. He should be

Venezuela.

>> Jeanit the pirate. Those papers say

nothing about pirate.

>> I don't care what those papers say. You

can't do this. You're out of your mind.

>> You're not showing very good judgments

in your capan.

>> Well, I'm in no position to argue now.

We understand each other.

Relax.

Be proud.

Some of the men will have to get in on

the ship on the lease side, too. You

know,

the only way to do that without them

seeing us is to swim around or under the

ship.

>> So what? Some of it could use a bath. Go

on. Get going.

That porcupine, if he can't swim in rum,

he don't want to swim at all.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Easy does it, Mie.

You ought to be very happy with

unexpected guest drop in. Smile.

[Music]

>> All right, chief.

The siesta is over. Senoran,

get up.

I'm back.

My men will kill you. Too bad that both

of us would have to die. Walk

[Music]

since my man and I fight the cause of

Venezuela in Spain. I commander vessel

the infanta as a prince of war.

This is an outrage. I shall demand an

apology from the United States

government. You shall have this

opportunity very shortly. Mr. Belouch,

make you ready to sail.

>> Prepare to cast off.

>> And only this morning we were going to

lead the lives of country gentlemen.

Gentlemen, we pause you long enough to

wish you wage.

100 yards distant lies your destination,

the gay lights of New Orleans. And now

you, sir, if you will be so kind,

if you or anybody else should feel

reluctant about stepping off that plank,

my able mate, Mr. Dominic shall be

delighted to assist you with his boot.

>> A polished boot befitting your stations

as gentlemen.

>> You can polish these too, pirate.

>> Why you ringtailed baboon of out?

[Applause]

>> No more demonstration, gentlemen. Up

with you.

[Applause]

And now, senior cavitan, you will have

your opportunity to demand an apology

from the United States government.

>> If you think you're going to make me

walk that plank, you're mine.

>> Perhaps you would rather I set you a

drift in one of the small boats.

>> Yes.

>> 300 miles out in the Gul.

I refuse to submit to this dignity.

>> Mr. Dominic,

>> I I sir.

[Laughter]

[Applause]

Well, look at her, my friends. Look at

her with a pride of honest men. Pride.

That's it. From now on, this vessel will

be known on the seven seas as the pride.

>> Strike the colors of Spain, Mr. Dominic.

>> I I sir.

>> Mr. Bel, he said sail for Galveastston

at once. It's a soldiers win, Mr. Bel. I

sir.

>> All right, your man. Full and by

all the family now come.

[Music]

>> Where's Governor Creborn? His excellency

is upstairs in his office. What? What

happened? What is it?

>> Governor Corn.

>> That's Captain Perez of the Infant. The

Invanta, that's one of your ships.

>> He took it. He took the ship right from

under my nose. Then he better swap the

plank, swim all the way to shore.

>> Oh, who took the ship?

>> Leit, of course.

>> How could Lefit have stolen the ship? He

was just here a few hours ago.

>> He must be here while he's the guest of

honor.

>> I was totally unprepared. There was

nothing I could do. He had letter of

mark. Letter of Mark? Yes. Yes. From

Venezuela. And you dare to stand there

and tell me you surrendered my ship

without a struggle? With my throat cut,

I'd be unable to bring you any news.

>> You see, Governor, I warned you. What do

you expect to do now?

>> You seem to forget, Mr. Marabel, that

the United States is not at war with

either Spain or Venezuela. If Lit is

captured on American territory, he will

be in turn. I have no other power.

>> Governor, you once put a price of

$10,000 on the head of Jean Lafit.

Gentlemen, I double that amount. $20,000

for Lafit, dead or alive.

[Music]

I presume, my dear niece, you've heard

the news.

>> Well, are you satisfied now? Your

precious Lit has a handsome price on his

head. $20,000.

>> $20,000? Hardly seems enough for the man

who helped to save New Orleans.

>> Such hero worship is very commendable,

my dear, but at the moment not quite

practical. Would it be more practical if

I were to marry Paul Delori?

>> An enterprising young man,

>> a stupid young man

>> with one of the most prominent names in

New Orleans

>> and one of the most prominent stomachs.

>> With Paul Delorei in our family, there

would be a merger of business interests.

We would have the most powerful shipping

combine on the Gulf.

>> You and Paul forced Governor Clayburn to

break his promise to Jean, and now that

he's taken justice into his own man is

nothing but a thief.

>> Tell that to the British. When Jean is

settled on Galveastston Island, I'm

going to join him.

Miss Summers,

[Music]

>> she didn't seem happy to see me.

>> Oh, it's just a headache, Paul, or this

excitement about Lafit. She'll be all

right in the morning. Uh, have you ever

thought of taking off a little weight,

Paul?

>> I don't see it. Never mind. We have

other troubles. Lafit is going to

establish his headquarters on

Galveastston Island,

>> 400 miles away. Good ridds.

>> The only time we will be rid of our

feet, Paul, it's when he's dead.

[Music]

>> There you are, Dominic. Whatever land

comes within your sight belongs to us.

Well, in that case, I wish I had more

than two eyes. Calston will suit us

fine. Belouch, there is a cove of the

Sabbath bar. We'll draw anchor there. I

sir

[Music]

My mother.

[Music]

Ah, peace and quiet. A perfect climate

for a lazy man. You know something? If

we had a couple of dozen fried eels, we

could have a picnic.

[Music]

Hello.

Hello.

[Music]

H Yeah.

[Music]

Who Indianots? Indians in this part of

the country don't have musketss. They

got them now. It's a good thing their

aim is bad.

You see, that might have been my head.

[Music]

Somebody made sure these Indians had

guns.

>> I find out who did it. Just leave me,

chief. I'll trim the feathers.

[Music]

Heat.

Heat.

[Music]

They're

[Music]

running.

They'll be back.

Get the small stone cannon from the

ship.

>> The cannon? But we haven't been time.

It'll be up to you. Try to hold out long

enough. Oh, the chief. Now, don't worry.

Run for the boat. We'll cover you. Don't

worry.

So he says to me, "Don't worry." He

says, "So I says, Dominic, don't worry.

We just want to take a little walk in

the park." Come on, Kenny. We'll go take

a little walk. Don't sh

[Music]

Now we have a chance.

Come on. We ain't got all day. Come on.

Horror.

[Music]

[Music]

They'll never get back in time with that

blasted cannon. I told you we were

posset.

>> What do you want to do? Die with your

night shirt on? Hey Brown, with all the

hair you got, you never miss a scalp

anyhow.

[Music]

It's been quiet too long.

[Music]

Hour

coming in.

Let's see which one of you can save your

scalps. Now take the leg. Load the

cannon. You got to fire it from here and

it'll sink us. Load it. You major.

Come on. Hurry up.

[Music]

[Applause]

How can I aim it with us walking like

whale? How? How? How? How? Get out of

the way. All right, sir.

[Music]

[Music]

Load it again.

[Music]

[Music]

I don't know whether to kiss Dominic or

the kill. You don't see it.

All right, do it again. Come on, Mr.

Dominic.

Powder this time. Yeah. All right, sir.

Get to it.

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

We've got the world is coming to an end.

>> I think bad enough

[Music]

to show

[Music]

[Music]

It is a sad blow to in losing 13 men.

>> Yeah, 12 would have been a luckier

number.

>> I found something in Sven Anderson's

pocket before we buried him tonight.

>> So, piece of paper.

Got a poem written on it.

>> Anderson Anderson got a poem.

>> Oh, it's not so much of a poem, but it

says things.

>> I'll read it.

>> Things about the war we fought for the

United States.

>> Read it, will you? Stop talking.

Oh, say can you see

by the dawn's early light,

but so proudly we hailed

at the twilight's last gleaming

whose broad stripes and bright stars

through the perilous fight.

For the ramparts we watched were so

gallantly streaming.

And the rockets red glare,

the bombs bursting in air

gave proof through the night that our

flag was still there.

Oh, say, does that star spangled banner

yet wave? Or the land of the free

and the home

of the brave.

It's beautiful.

Maybe many of you are thinking how we

fought to save our New Orleans.

They had to leave it and the ones we

love.

But this is our new life. The settlement

we build here will endure.

We'll have our own government. We'll see

to it that Spain is defeated and that

only Spanish shipping is attacked. Now

remember that well. The first man who

forgets it will hang.

Now Brown.

Double rations of rum for the men.

Gouch Steve, I been looking over those

guns we took from the dead Indians. Look

at that stock.

>> Seems as if the maker's name has been

signed off.

>> Not the maker's name, chief. Look at

that one.

>> Maro,

>> he must have sent those guns overland

with wagons.

>> Quite that ty. It

>> appears the gentleman is afraid of us.

Shall give him good reason to be,

>> men. Tomorrow we sail against the ships

of Spain and George Mavo.

[Applause]

[Music]

He

[Music]

mighty sense left. You'll hang for this.

Wait goes back to Marbel and tells him

he lost his entire cargo.

>> Marvel shouldn't be angry. We've only

taken his cargo last time we took his

ship.

>> I suppose I should be very grateful

soran.

>> And a couple of touches to you, Mr.

Beluch.

>> Extra rum for everybody.

>> We shall celebrate a taking of the

Burgos in style.

Mr. Belouch, take the cargo to the

warehouse.

Senor Kavitan once again. Bonage.

>> What you waiting for you baboons? The

sooner we move our cargo, the faster we

got our r.

[Applause]

My stomach can hardly wait for that sun

to go down. You know, it's the first

time that we've had dinner at the m in

some time.

[Music]

on God.

>> Things have changed since I was a lad.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Try to kiss me, huh?

You think you can steal kisses as if I

were a scullery maid? I ought to slit

your gulllet from ear to ear.

>> Then my ghost would come back and kiss

you.

>> Bravo, Renee. Bravo.

Well, who could blame the boy for fall

in love with such a wild one?

>> Keep your ugly nose out of my affairs,

you second cousin to a whale.

>> Wave.

>> I want love. I know how to get it.

>> Tell me something. How do you deal with

a woman that talks like an army

sergeant?

>> Why?

>> What did you bring me from the burgos?

>> What makes you think you deserve

anything, young lady?

>> Don't you call me young lady.

>> And what were you doing in the barn?

Well, since you didn't invite me to your

dinner celebration, I I was eating hay.

>> You want to know what I think? I think

she's in love with you.

>> Why are you,

>> Renee? You better go to your mother and

help her with the farming chores.

>> I'm sick of farming. I want to join the

fleet.

>> Really? Well, I may out a vessel very

soon. I'll let you know.

>> Oh, that's wonderful, sir.

And now, Swallow, they're going to the

Mason Rouge. I have a surprise for you.

>> Hi.

>> Before we have any surprises, Mr. Jean

Defeat, am I invited to your dinner

tonight?

>> You'd come whether he invited you or

not.

>> He's right.

>> You're invited even if Renee thinks

you're in love with me. But of course,

you aren't.

>> Find out for yourself.

Harley dropped blasted dinner. Anyway,

>> swallow,

I've got something special for you from

the burgos. Something for your father,

too.

>> Let me see.

>> Come, you shall make your first visit to

the tomb.

>> The tomb? What did you bring me from the

burgos? The headstone?

>> You'll see.

>> Where are we? Beneath the misorouge,

>> there you are, swallow. A land of a

thousand treasures.

>> Well, what is such a bird is the swallow

doing so far underground.

>> I'm not here to feather your nest,

scrawny one.

>> For a small box that's going to cause my

val a lot of misery.

>> You are the riches of the world. Not a

world swallow, just Spain.

Look.

>> Take your choice.

>> But each one's worth a fortune.

>> Your father's a loyal man. He's earned

it. Take what you want.

You choose. Well,

>> I'll wag you. I look as good now as that

wench in the picture.

>> You look very nice, Father.

>> Sure I do.

What's that?

>> If we are invaded by an enemy, the

single bell in the tower will ring. The

guard will throw a lever which will

release the rocks and the earth above.

>> But all these treasures will be buried.

>> If we can't have Galveastston's

treasure, no one else shall.

>> No wonder it's called a tomb.

Can we go up now? I I want to change my

clothes before dinner.

>> You don't have any other clothes,

>> brother to a roach. Don't you worry

about me. My My father made me a new

pair of britches.

>> Someday we'll have to find her a wife.

The gentlemen at ladies fair who grace

this famous city. Just listen if you

time to spare while I rehearse this dy

and for the opportunity conceive

yourselves quite lucky for is not often

that you see a pirate from Kentucky.

Oh Kentucky, I'm a pirate from Kentucky.

Oh Kentucky, I'm a pirate from Kentucky.

You've heard, I know that New Orleans is

famed for wealth and beauty. There's

girls of every hue, it seems, from snowy

white to sie. The snowy white, the dandy

brags are for them that are lucky. But

the ones that look like cotton bags are

for the pirates of Kentucky.

Kentucky. I'm a pirate from Kentucky.

Oh, Kentucky. I'm a pirate from

Kentucky.

>> Oh, that is the greatest instrument of

torture since the Spanish Inquisition.

Where'd they come from?

>> The Borgos is part of Elago.

>> Maybe my plague is too rich for your

blood after such a big dinner. Palute,

>> you are right.

>> If you think I'm going to give you a cup

of two shades for that, my friend,

you're sad.

John, you may pour me a mug of wine.

>> A mug? Where did you get that dress?

>> You want the name of my dress maker?

I'll give it to you later.

>> Why did you change now? You should have

worn that gown to dinner.

>> This thing's so tight. How much do you

think I could eat?

>> Go ahead. Drown yourself.

>> Don't worry. It's not your wine. Well,

between Swallow's new gown and a good

dinner, we've had a wonderful

celebration. Hey, Chief.

>> Yes.

>> Tomorrow morning, everybody on the

island's going to have a head like a

cannonball.

>> They better not. Tomorrow, we are

equipping a new vessel.

>> Ah, so soon. Who's going to be the

captain?

>> Greg Brown.

>> Brown.

>> Brown?

>> Oh, no.

>> Oh, he drinks too much. You give him a

ship, he'll run it up on a reef.

>> He had his captain's papers once before

in Boston. I think he deserves another

chance. I think you take chances on too

many men.

>> Well, I'm taking my chances on you, too.

In 3 days, we're leaving for New

Orleans.

>> New Orleans?

>> With a price of $20,000 on your head?

>> There is a price on every one of our

heads. But the gems we took off the

burgers must be delivered to Soven. He's

been waiting for this shipment a long

time.

>> Well, that's all right. But let us take

them.

>> The three of us will go.

>> Sure. Sure. He's got to risk his life

just to see that dressed up baggage up

there. The niece of the assassin who

gave guns to the Indians to kill him.

>> Mind your tongue.

>> I know what I'm saying.

>> I told you she's too young to drink

wine.

>> Listen, you

>> sit down or I put you over my knee and

spank you.

>> Now

>> sit down.

>> All right. Go on, marry her. See what

kind of a wife she makes you.

All right.

Something must be bothering her.

Defeat him, you say. Please, gentlemen.

You seem to forget that Lefit has the

finest gunners in the world. Men who

fought with Napoleon. His ships. They

are built for speed and maneuverability.

He doesn't carry cargo so he doesn't sit

low in the water like a fat duck. Defeat

him, you say? Very well. Defeat him

yourself. I'm finished. How can we stay

in business without merchandise?

>> My shelves are empty.

>> If I don't get merchandise from Spain

immediately, I'll go bankrupt.

>> You must stop Lefit. Get merchandise.

You must.

>> I've told you before I can do nothing to

Lefit. He hasn't touched an American

ship. Perhaps, sir, you would prefer

that the people of New Orleans be

without the necessities of life. Lefit

has not broken American law by attacking

your ships on the high seas. All I can

promise you is that if he tries to

smuggle merchandise into New Orleans, he

will be caught and his goods seized. The

customs department has put a double

guard on all roads and canals leading

into New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

>> A double guard. Let them make it a

triple guard, Governor, and see what

luck you have.

Well, my dear uncle, have you devised a

method for capturing Jean Lefit, or have

you decided to surrender?

>> Someday your lap will make a slip and

then you will not be so proud of this

bandit.

>> Bandit? When he helped defeat the

British, he was a hero. When he defeats

the Spanish, he's a bandit. I'm afraid I

don't understand such politics.

We can hardly sail into the docks of New

Orleans. Where would we anchor? At

Baritaria.

A small boat will take us through the

marshes of the canal entrance.

>> Here I am married but one week. I spent

the last four nights sleeping in a bull

rushes while my wife.

>> Never mind.

>> And when you catch Lee, your bride will

know how to spend that $20,000 reward. I

should have remained a carpenter.

>> A carpenter? She married you because of

your uniform.

>> Shake your

sounded like an orlock.

[Music]

Here they come. Uh-huh. Out of the boat,

you free.

>> Please, Catress. Uh, we haven't done

anything.

>> We'll see. Come on. Get out.

>> Start walking. Come on.

[Music]

>> Please, please, gentlemen. We are only

poor fishermanmen. We meant no harm. We

>> meant no harm. Hey, plain as the nose on

your face.

>> Sure. Three toes in.

>> You stole it?

>> Yes, but but please don't arrest us.

>> We have families, wives, little

children.

>> We were only trying to make little money

selling the wines.

>> A few miserable pennies, that's all.

>> Oh, you admit you're guilt.

>> Yes, I Please have mercy.

You have the wine. All of you.

>> Are you trying to bribe us,

>> Zeke? It is damn. My very bones are

creaking, and we only have orders to be

on the watch out for Lefit. be very no

the pilot or let us go. He'll kill us

and cut our throats.

>> Cardly sow head. I'll right be on your

way. But if you ever try this again,

we'll

>> No, we promise we the name of my

grandmother.

>> Go on. Go on. Thank you.

>> Good luck, boys.

>> You first. It'll warm you up.

[Music]

Oh, sure. Come in. Come in.

>> Stand guard.

[Music]

>> It is nice to see you in New Orleans

again, Jean. But every minute you're

here, you are in danger.

>> And I will make every minute count. the

information I requested.

>> Here's the director.

It's the left wing of the house. You

want here? Excellent. So, in a you're

modern merchant. You're Dan Cupid

himself.

>> I'm glad I never met a woman who could

the merchandise.

>> Beast your eyes, my friend.

>> Oh,

perfect.

Perfect.

Where's the king's ransom? John,

>> you asked for 100,000.

>> 70,000.

>> 100. It takes a lot of provisions to

feed Mar Island.

>> 75.

>> And my own tastes are expensive, too.

>> 80.

>> Sorry. You know you can sell them for

twice that amount.

>> 85. Not one penny more. 85.

And to think of how much fine

merchandise I always brought you.

>> 90.

>> You're ruining me. You're taking my very

lifeblood.

>> 90.

>> You're a hard man, S. All right. 95,000

and four horses.

>> 95,000

and four horses.

>> Fast horses. None of those old spamming

goats I saw in your pasture. Oh,

married immediately.

[Music]

I'll get a headache.

Oh,

well.

Well,

[Music]

where is he? Who?

My good friend Maravo. If it weren't for

Bell, I'd kill you. A man who gives guns

to the Indians.

Walk.

Tell your men to drop their guns.

>> Drop your guns.

>> You can't be talking to us.

>> Release my men.

Let them go.

>> We'll never get away now, Jean. Every

road will be watched. You stay here.

You'll be safe. I'll find a way to get

you to Galveistston later.

I wish I was single again.

I wish I was single again.

When I was single, my money did jingle.

I wish I was single again. Shut up.

I married my wife and then

I wish I was single again.

Come on.

Meet me back.

[Music]

And in the last two months, we have lost

three ships.

71 men have been killed and 109 wounded.

The

>> fate I tell you we're through if we

limit ourselves to Spanish prizes. I

don't agree. We cannot possibly match

the strength of the Spanish merchant men

when they sail with convoys. The last

one had three gun boats to protect it.

>> I'm as aware of all this as you are.

From now on, three and four of our ships

will sail together. We cannot break the

law and survive.

>> Maybe it's about time you took some

advice. Pickings have been slim lately,

Mr. feet. I think we need some new

management.

>> You're drunk, Ian Brown.

>> Well, what about it?

>> When did your ship dock?

>> Few minutes ago. And she's loaded with

the richest cargo ever taken off an

American ship.

>> You sank an American vessel.

>> The Wesley out of New York, Mr. Lep. And

I'll sink any American ship that crosses

me. Bow. We're in this business to make

money. You can call yourself a

law-abiding gentleman, but me, I know

what I am. I'm a pirate. A Duncan

pirate.

Hang him.

Hang him, chief.

Hang him where every man on this island

can see him.

Every captain who sinks an American

vessel will hang.

Now get out.

>> I told you lit is nothing but a pirate.

>> And to think that there were women and

children on the West

>> and hanging is too good for him.

>> They ought to send the Navy in and blast

Galvverson off the

>> If I were governor, I'd know what to do

about my feet. Summers,

>> why was I asked to this meeting?

>> The governor will explain. No doubt

you've heard of the sinking of the

Westerly.

>> Yes,

>> we have every reason to believe she was

sunk by Jean Lefit.

>> You've no proof of that.

>> Exactly. That is why we sent for you, my

dear. Miss Summers, we understand your

affection for Mr. Lefit, and we're just

as anxious to learn the truth as you

are. But we must have evidence as to

whether he's guilty or not. And we

believe you can get it for us.

>> You want me to get it for you?

You don't expect me to give evidence

against Jean Leaf?

>> Surely you would never rest easy until

you knew whether you were married to an

honest man or a murderous pirate who was

responsible for the drowning of over a

100 American men and women.

>> Governor Clayurn, I'm willing to prove

the innocence of Jean Lefit. I shall

send word to him to come for me and take

me to Galveastston.

>> Excellent, Miss Summers. The United

States government will be most grateful.

On this bill of lighting is a way bill

number. The number on the stamps of the

cargo stolen from the Westerly will have

to match it. If you can locate the cargo

and send us the corresponding way bill

number, it's all the evidence we need

that Jean Lefit is not innocent. Are you

agreeable?

>> I'm agreeable.

When John comes to get me, he is not to

be molested.

>> I guarantee his safety.

>> Thank you, Governor Clay. Good day,

gentlemen.

I trust that you are satisfied this

time.

>> Not entirely, Governor. My niece's love

for this pirate is such that it would

put us at the mercy of a woman's

emotions. May I suggest that American

troops be sent to stand by near

Galveastston? Then, if the evidence

proves Lafit guilty, he cannot escape.

Very well. I'll issue marching orders

immediately.

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

There's the signal. It's John Ship.

Answer him, Jose.

[Music]

He's seen us. The small boat will be a

show in a moment.

>> How can I ever repay you for your

kindness?

>> Don't mention it.

[Music]

You all right? No trouble getting here?

>> None. No one will know I'm missing until

morning. Mr. Soven handled everything

perfectly.

>> It was a pleasure, Jean. I shall never

forget what you've done. Just keep your

neck intact, my friend. You better hurry

now.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

>> There is my Galveastston bell, right at

your feet. It's wonderful. I can hardly

believe that all this was built in less

than a year.

>> Did all this come from capturing only

Spanish ships?

>> Every bit of it.

>> Why?

>> John Lee, you're a genius.

>> Of course, it took a genius to win Belus

away from all the other men in New

Orleans. It was

>> your flattery that did it.

>> Only flattery.

>> No.

You'll be married within a week.

[Music]

>> Come in.

[Music]

>> Jose, as you know, it was our mission to

search this island for evidence as to

whether or not Miss Leaf sank an

American vessel. See, Senorita,

>> it will not be necessary to search. I'm

sure Jean Levit is innocent.

>> There will be no search, Jose. That'll

be all

you. There's no use, sir. I miss

something. What is the meaning of this?

>> Don't you know he's Miss Summer's

servant?

>> We caught him searching the rooms

upstairs. Sir,

>> is that true?

>> Of course it's true. Your men are so

suspicious, Jean.

>> Look, I noticed the instrument

yesterday. My uncle was having it sent

from Barcelona. We expected it on

Captain Pere's ship.

>> What's that got to do with him?

>> Well, there were many other things.

Seven bolts of silk for new dresses, 20

yards of lace, many things. I didn't

want to embarrass you, Jean, by asking

about it. It was my idea for her there

to look.

>> Well, I want my wife to come to me

always.

>> Wait a minute. How do we know she's

telling the truth?

>> Swallow.

>> How do we know he's not a spy? How do we

know she's not in with him?

>> Apologize, Swallow.

>> Apologize.

I'd sooner have my tongue cut out and

fed to the GS. Sure, you can believe

her. Well, I don't.

>> It's enough.

>> Oh, it is, is it? Well, you listen to

me. When they've got you hanging from

the yard on, then you can tell me it's

enough.

>> Oh, that one. Every time she leaves this

house, it's like an explosion. Someday

she'll blow herself up.

>> All right, men. Go back to your puss.

>> I'm sorry to have caused so much

trouble.

>> Now, let me see. Silk, combs, lace.

>> The lace would have been perfect for a

wedding gown.

>> In that case, it's yours this very

moment.

>> Uh, Dominic, play something lively for

our guests.

Come along for

Hey, my my good friend Dominic.

>> Somebody tell me that you you play this

thing by ear.

>> Well, what of it?

>> Well, how can you get both ears on the

keyboard at once?

Touche.

Go ahead.

It seems hard to believe there's a place

on earth where the sun never shines.

>> Shining you know.

[Music]

>> So many sides to you, Jean. The man who

builds. The man who destroys. The man

who digs tunnels into the heart of the

earth. The man who makes pretty

compliments.

The man who loves you.

We'll be married tomorrow.

>> Well, you mustn't rush me, John. Please

give me time to think it over.

>> All right, begin thinking right now.

That's enough.

>> Tomorrow will be the biggest celebration

in the history of Galveston.

Come on.

To think that the merchants who deal

with George Marabel have nothing on

their shelves.

>> You teach them not to depend on Spanish

shipping lines. Let us see. Steven

Hamling is squano.

Ah, here. Bel must be the lace. Jose,

carry it up. Bel,

>> are you all right?

>> It's the air down here. It's rather bad.

Come on.

>> I'm listening to your every word.

>> You're not here alone.

>> I shall be delighted.

>> Well, what is it,

>> Anything wrong?

>> Yesterday when we

>> uh Not now, not now.

>> But this is very important, sir.

>> Sorry. Excuse me.

>> What is it?

>> Indians have been cited on the hill. You

must come at once.

[Music]

Swallow.

>> No, it's you. What do you want?

>> Have you seen Jean? You look about as

happy as a totem pole. A fine way to

celebrate your marriage.

You're waiting for me to wish you luck.

All right. I wish you luck.

Go on and marry him. I tried to and

couldn't. And I'd have made him a good

wife.

Better than you. Men are such stupid

oaths.

I thought you'd give him up when the

Wesley was sunk.

How'd you find out in New Orleans he

didn't do it?

What? Well, don't tell me you didn't

know.

>> No. What? And all this time I thought

Who did it? Swallow who? Craig Brown.

His bones are still bleaching in the

sun. John strung him up. A swallow.

>> Summers.

>> Yes.

>> The American army is on the mainland

now. In a few moments, the attack will

begin.

>> Attack?

>> Yes. I gave the signal. Jose,

>> I could not let you forget your duty.

Senorita Sen Maraval insists I get you

out of here safely.

>> But Jean is innocent. He had nothing to

do with the sinking of the westerly.

>> Senorita, you must come with me now.

>> Tell my uncle I'll stay here with Jean.

[Music]

>> Dominique Valuch, have you seen Jean? I

must find him immediately.

>> There, there he is.

Jean, the American army will be

attacking any minute.

>> What are you talking about?

>> Jose sent for them. He thought you

thanked the Westerly.

>> Men, the American army's attacking. Stay

here and protect the women.

>> Come on, learning. Bruce,

My dear niece.

And where is Lafit?

>> Never mind. We'll fight. I told you, my

dear, that someday your precious

buccaneer would make a slip.

>> He did not make a slip. Jean had nothing

to do with the sinking of the Westerly.

>> Within an hour, this island would be

completely ours. The feet cannot escape.

Unless you would prefer that we hang him

now instead of taking him to New Orleans

for trial. You will lead me to his

warehouse at once.

>> You wouldn't dare hang him.

>> Oh, I'm sure you know better than that.

>> You leave me no choice.

>> Most sensible decision.
