Land on, Hispaniola!

There you are, Hispaniola, Senor Salvador.

I'm extremely grateful.

I shall stay on board.

I'm not going ashore to look around
until you're ready

to set sail again.

Aren't you coming with
us to see the governor?

Oh, a police officer in the
palace of the royal governor?

But for what reason?

We do our job from undercover.

Well, I don't envy you.

Why not, Commander?

Discovering who is aiding the pirates
to plunder our shipping

may not be so difficult.

You know, the really difficult thing
is your job, to

apprehend them and bring them in.

Stand by to fire the salute.

We're really simply thrilling.

For goodness sake, darling,
we came very near perishing at

the hands of Buccaneers.

What a pity you didn't.

Well, sir, what do you think of it?

Your Excellency, this is a
reception that equals the ones

at the court of the King
of England, and your

splendid hospitality will be duly
noted in my confidential report

to London.

I can only say I am grateful,
however unworthy, Signor

Anderson.

Flattery is my weakness.

If only we Englishmen could
have more such governors as

yourself, Your Excellency.

Oh, perish the thought.

With your permission.

Ah, beautiful, my dear.

A real masterpiece.

There's no use being complimentary to me.

You can say that for
the ladies at the ball.

Thank you.

How do you like it here?

You may go.

Oh, Uncle, it's awful.

I want to leave Hispaniola
and return to Spain as

soon as I possibly can.

I've given my whole career
preparing for your future.

Isabella, please listen to reason.

Here is where your future lies.

In Spain, the nobility is
only allowed by the King

to...

Would you leave the
useless lives of courtiers?

We've been all over this more than once.

But I prefer the court life.

Any woman won't.

What can you offer?

The King's resident of Santa
Cruz would be pleased to

show you his hospitality.

And if I refuse to accept?

Your father, as my elder
brother, left you rich in

name and titles, but...

Poor in money and dowry.

Well, it's not reason
enough to throw me at that

man's head.

At court, you know, they
used to ridicule his pretensions.

Today, he's the King's
resident of Santa Cruz.

If they don't ridicule him
now, they wouldn't dare.

The captain of the galleon
Victoria, just arrived from Spain,

is requesting to be
received by Your Excellency.

Magnificent.

I might go back on that galleon and avoid a

visit to Santa Cruz.

I will see him tomorrow, Your Excellency.

His Excellency Don Fernando
Linares, the Count of Cordova.

Custodian of the Holy Crown.

Royal Governor of Hispaniola.

And his niece, the noble
Countess Isabella Linares.

Companion and maid of honor
to Her Most Catholic Majesty,

the Queen of Spain.

May these creatures

be the gentlemen of your court.

They're fabulously rich planters, my dear.

How could I ever leave you?

They all have the faces of pirates.

Oh, they're making progress.

Nothing like gold to
transform even their ugly faces.

How much time altogether
to make the voyage?

Eight months and two weeks, precisely.

Why, that's impossible.

Before long, they'll make
it in only seven months.

Oh, what marvels they can make.

Oh, that's progress.

This is Baron Franco Maria
Perez, our burgomaster.

For us in this intemperate
corner of the world, your

very presence is like a
welcome breath of spring.

Forgive me if I must disturb
you, Your Excellency, but

Commander Monterey insists
on being received at once.

He submits his credentials
as an envoy of the King

to claim an immediate audience.

Then show him in.

Your Excellency.

His Majesty always seems to
find these overzealous officers who

interpret all instructions
as declarations of war.

Sir Frederick Henderson,
Ambassador of the King of England.

I think I will remain here for a long time.

Excuse me, Your Excellency.

Captain Luis Monterey,
Commander of the ship Victoria.

By warrant of His
Majesty, I will leave you to

your affairs of state.

My niece, Doña Isabella, may I
present Commander Luis Monterey.

But we two have met before,
isn't that so, Commander?

I don't really remember.

I don't think so.

Do you mind if we withdraw, Commander?

Excuse me.

My word, it seems the
niece of the Governor must

have been particularly smitten by someone.

He is pleasant enough, a real sea wolf.

Monterey, Monterey.

I don't recall a family by that name.

There's none to recall.

With pirates.

The Spanish Navy should
be protecting the trade routes.

Oh yes, certainly, Your Excellency.

I personally will protect
the cargo of silver which you

consigned to me.

Your personal assurances,
Commander, make me feel more at ease.

The Victoria is a ship mounting 40 guns.

No one could possibly be
mad enough to challenge her.

Have you forgotten the dry tortugas,
Commander, and the stronghold

of the pirates of the coast
bristling with ships ready

and lying in wait for their victims?

We will load up in secrecy.

Spain needs money to buy weapons.

Is there a war?

Every day, England grows
more jealous of our power.

Very well, then.

If that's how it is, we
must respect the wishes

of our King.

Thank you, Commander.

Also, the Court of London
would be delighted to have

you.

Apparently, your rejected plebeian
has had more success with the

other lady.

Is it true that French
perfumes will be subject to

taxation?

Does the Holy Inquisition
continue to burn witches?

Excuse me, please.

Why do you ask me
these questions, my ladies?

I couldn't answer them to save my life.

Will you permit me, ladies,
to save the Captain's life?

Thank you.

I was just about to sink to the bottom.

That's exactly what you deserve.

I know.

Forgive me.

But seeing you unexpectedly that way, I...

Yes?

I suddenly remember everything
I've been trying so hard to

forget.

I'm embarrassed as a
woman can be who refuses a

man.

Isabella.

You promised me you
would forget, and yet you still

love me as much as ever.

I refused you once in
Spain, and the distance from

Madrid doesn't make you
my equal any more than you

were then.

Be careful.

What is it inside there, gold?

Maybe it is, from the way
they keep watching us.

Quickly.

Good morning, Commander.

You can see I've had everything
done with military rapidity.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

I must take advantage of the tide.

Shall we go over the last details?

Delighted.

Well, that does it.

As of now, the responsibility
for the silver is yours.

And the best of luck, Commander.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

Will you have some more wine?

Oh, gladly.

What an excellent Madeira.

The salt air hasn't
affected it in the least.

And what course are you taking?

That's a secret, Your Excellency.

I'll set the course as
soon as we're at sea.

That's what I expected, Commander.

Come in.

Loading operations
have been completed, sir.

Very good.

Prepare to sail.

The course, sir?

For the moment, just
see the ship sails out of

Hispaniola.

Did you know, Commander,
that I had decided to return

to Spain aboard your galley?

My uncle convinced me
to remain here a while.

Well, that has saved
me an unpleasant refusal.

Are you saying you wouldn't
have me as a passenger

aboard?

It's not I, madam, but
regulations that don't allow a

woman to sail on a man of war.

You're every inch the proper sailor.

It's really a pity you
have to be so terribly

serious.

Serious?

Perhaps I could be wrong.

But didn't I amuse you last night?

I won't deny you were entertaining.

For a moment.

I wish you well, Commander.

Take first the hatches!

Prepare to cast off!

What's this?

Someone coming ashore?

It's Senor Salvador, our merchant.

Best of luck to you again, Commander.

Ready to cast off!

Cast off astern!

Full starboard tiller!

Steady as she goes!

Letter report.

Powder magazine in order.

Ammunition and pieces secured, sir.

What's on your breath, sailor?

Tobacco from our ship.

Well, that won't kill the rum from Jamaica.

Let me tell you this.

If you fall from up there and don't end up

with a broken neck, I'll break it for you.

Second watch!

Wreckage of the starboard bow!

Women!

They've been shipwrecked.

We must pick them up.

Give the word to bring the ship about.

We've spotted some people on a raft, sir.

We're closing in on it.

What?

Who gave the order?

Have them get back on course.

Sir, the raft has some women on it.

We can't stop for any reason.

But if these women are
abandoned at sea, it amounts

to the same thing as murder.

They're crazy.

Why would they let them
go without a ransom?

They wanted to give you a present.

Thank you.

Our crew made us get on the raft and put

off before our ship was
attacked and boarded by the

pirates.

Who was it that gave the order to heave to?

The bosun, sir.

Clear the deck immediately
and take these women below to

the hull.

Get back on our original course at once.

When they've recovered,
interrogate them and report to me.

Water.

Do you want some water?

Rum.

Tell me

what your name is, my kind sir.

So I can put in a good word for you

in my prayers.

Do you like rum?

Now, these are the captain's orders.

Issue blankets to all the women.

Oh, my God.

They're closing in.

Stand by the fire.

Break out the powder.

You've already lost
and you're our prisoner.

Surrender and not the
slightest harm will come to you.

Chief Gunner.

Fire radio broadside from starboard.

Surrender if you want
to avoid a massacre of all

your men.

The powder's underwater.

We've got you covered on two sides.

The powder magazine has been flooded.

There's a traitor aboard.

Prepare for boarding.

Don't put up any resistance, you.

All we want is the cargo you're carrying.

Stop the ship.

They won't

know what we're carrying.

The silver's well hidden.

Where's the captain?

This is a man of war.

We have nothing aboard
that's worth stealing.

Perhaps you have a few
beautiful ladies with you.

A few personal belongings, that's all.

Did you hear that, men?

He only has a few personal
belongings, that's all.

My dear captain, I would
never permit myself to deprive

you of them.

I'll be content to
relieve you of only a few

worthless bales of cotton.

Compliments are in order, girls.

You did a perfect job.

And so did you.

Quickly, get the bales of cotton off.

Don't you see how badly we need it?

I wanted to save my men from certain death.

Have you nothing else to say
in your defense, commander?

Nothing else.

I only want to repeat that
the pirates knew perfectly

well of the cargo of silver.

Someone betrayed us.

When the government agent
Pedro Salvador comes, he will prove

it.

If he exists, there's no
one who knows of him

in Hispaniola.

Commander, you have exhausted the court.

This witness of yours must be imaginary.

I remind you that you
are being held to trial

with a charge of high
treason brought against you.

The prosecution will continue.

Do the regulations of the Royal
Navy allow the embarkation

of women aboard the
warships of His Majesty?

No.

And yet you raised no
objection to admitting aboard the

accomplices of the pirates.

We thought they were shipwrecks.

Ah, we thought they were.

You and who else?

Who gave the order to
stop your ship at sea?

The second officer.

Let this witness be called to testify.

Killed on board, sir.

Commander.

The only witness who could
corroborate your testimony was killed

by the one shot it took to defeat you.

One shot against a man
of war mounting a battery

of 40 cannons.

I'm not trying to excuse myself.

But I protest the charge of high treason.

I repeat that there is someone
who knows everything about

this plot.

The police official, Pedro Salvador.

I know you doubt his existence.

But he is on this island.

Was it possible for you to trace this man?

We made a thorough search.

He presented himself to His
Excellency the Governor saying he

was a merchant.

It seems that he disappeared
after the departure of the

Victoria.

Gentlemen, I am not a traitor.

On my word of honor, I was only doing my

duty in avoiding a massacre.

The court will consider the evidence.

Your Honor, there's a man
outside who wants to appear

as a witness.

Objection.

The testimony has already been recorded.

Your Honor, it may be Pedro Salvador.

I present a petition that
the court hear the new

witness' testimony.

Your petition is granted.

It's Pedro Salvador.

The witness will testify under oath.

Pedro.

In the name of His
Majesty, the King of Spain,

do you solemnly swear
to tell the truth, the whole

truth, and nothing but the truth?

In the name of His
Majesty, the King of Spain,

I swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and

nothing but the truth.

There's no more that we can do now.

Take him out of the courtroom.

You continually cite witnesses
who are no longer able to

speak.

Someone made sure that he couldn't speak.

I asked for an investigation.

I object.

Objection sustained.

I ask for a sentence of the full penalty.

In my capacity as governor
of Hispaniola, I would like

to point out to the court that
Commander Luis Monterrey

has had an unblemished
record to his credit.

Judge him therefore with
benevolence since he perhaps may only

be guilty of unfortunate judgment.

The court will take into consideration
all extenuating circumstances.

The court will now withdraw.

Everybody rise.

All we can do now is trust in the common

sense of the jury.

Commander.

I'm afraid I have no
right to be called that.

Your merits alone open the
doors to advancement at the

court of Madrid.

I expected they would
get you out of this court.

Isabella, I think that
it's the last time...

Oh, now, don't be so dramatic.

Or were you trying to upset me?

It was only in my case
that the regulations were

observed.

But then perhaps you found the
pirates' women more interesting,

more to your liking.

I think you've said
everything you wanted to.

Now you can return to your equals.

I only want to give you some good advice.

You should watch out with women.

You never have luck with us, do you?

The court is now in session.

Everybody rise.

Approach the court to hear the verdict.

Luis Monterey.

Before hearing this court deliver
its verdict, have you anything

further to say on your own behalf?

Yes, Your Honor.

Sentence me for one mistake.

But not for high treason against Spain.

You will proceed to deliver the sentence.

In the name of His Most
Catholic Majesty, the King

of Spain, this court finds the
accused Luis Monterey guilty

of negligence in command
and of complicity with the pirates

and therefore condemns him to death.

In consideration of the previous
merits shown by this commander,

the penalty of death is
commuted to deportation for life

at hard labor in a penal colony.

I must execute the sentence
of this court, although it

may be personally painful to do so.

Luis Monterey, I now degrade you.

Surrender me your sword and commission.

Luis.

On your feet, get to work.

Drink, drink.

What's he faking now?

Who's faking?

It's malaria.

Oh, malaria, is it?

Doctor.

Have some pity.

It's malaria.

Stop.

Luis, keep out of this.

Leave him alone.

I'll take his place.

Murderer.

Murderer.

Pedro.

Pedro.

He's done for.

I swear I'll make him pay for this.

Hurry up, get that star in place.

Have it taken a loft and
replace the other one.

It's split in two.

It's about to fall.

Hey, Bosun.

Take these chains off.

I'll need him and two other men who are not

afraid to climb up on the yard.

I want two volunteers.

Just now, sir, one of
the prisoners died below.

Oh, immovable.

What about services for the dead, sir?

Have all hands assembled
on the main deck at once.

The poor devil deserves a Christian burial.

Come on, look lively there.

If we have to die
anyway, better do it fast.

Gogo, look.

And of the heavens, with
thy mercy receive him and

grant him thy pardon.

Amen.

Before the soldiers leave
the deck, we must chop away

this spar.

Well, let's start chopping.

We're letting you breathe.

Surrender me

your sword.

What do you intend to do?

I'll answer you.

How do you intend to die?

Hold on.

Surrender me your sword
at once if you want to

avoid a massacre.

You, Captain Fernandez, are
free to withdraw your sword.

You embark on a launch without your men.

Lower the launch.

Put your back to the oar, you slave driver.

Give him provisions and
water enough for a week.

And may God have mercy on his soul.

Why should we?

We are men without a
country, but not without honor.

Santa Cruz.

For us of the Tortugas,
it's like falling off a

log to capture it.

First, we land here at the old port.

Pass over the canal, go
over land through the forest

and arrive at the citadel from the rear.

Easy, isn't it?

Provided there is one ship
standing off the coast to

draw down the Spanish garrison's fire.

What do you say, Captain Lamont?

I am afraid my ship is too fragile to face

the batteries of the fortress.

And you, Captain Brooke,
are the Irish also going to

say they are too frightened to go?

Not frightened, Dolonese.

I promised all my childhood
companions that we'd grow old

together.

In Ireland.

Rock.

You will sail in as close as you can to

the coast and open fire on
the Spanish batteries while

we attack the walls of
the city from the rear.

What city?

Santa Cruz.

Why should I be the one to act as clay

pigeon for the Spaniards?

But are you going to
attack Santa Cruz by day

or by night?

By night.

What does it matter?

Well, I'm afraid at night
they couldn't see me.

But this is a chance that comes once in a

lifetime.

You're all a bunch of blockheads.

Three days from now,
there's a ball at the citadel.

There will be ladies with
golden earrings and covered with

pearls and diamonds.

Gold and silver to be had for the asking.

What's happened now?

There's a ship in port.

Whose is it?

I never saw it before.

Get out of here.

Friendly Tortugas, huh?

You'll have to leave your men here.

Are you afraid?

I'm not going to trust
you with them even if

your ship is flying the pirate flag.

If I don't come back in half an hour, take

the ship and put out to sea.

No.

Go on.

That one's our chief, Bolognese.

What do you want in the Tortugas?

Who are you?

My name wouldn't mean
anything to you, but I command

a 40-gun ship and have a good crew.

I want to stay here in
the Tortugas with the

pirates of the coast.

What else do you want of us?

Our women also?

Captain, um...

Nobody.

I know one thing about
you, Captain, as you say,

nobody.

You're a proper mariner, you are.

You sailed into the channel
from the northeast, avoiding the

part where the reefs are.

Perfect.

You want to live as one of us?

Well, I'd like to give you the opportunity.

That is, providing these
gentlemen will permit you to.

Captain Lamotte?

Yes.

Captain Brooke?

Yes.

Captain Rock?

Yes.

Let's hear the proposal.

Santa Cruz.

Clear out, all of you.

This is the fortress.

You're attacking the
Spaniards from offshore.

And stand in as close to shore as possible.

And go to the bottom.

Do you imagine that I
can attack a fortress as

though it were a ship?

I'm imagining that whoever
wants to join the pirates of

the coast won't be afraid
to stand firm under fire

from the Spanish guns while
we attack and capture the

fortress from the rear.

A proper sailor like
yourself will be sure to avoid

damage from the batteries.

And if I should lose my ship?

Then we'll come and pick you up.

You will have proved
that you are trustworthy.

You will come to our
rescue if our ship goes

down?

I give you my word.

What do you say?

Is it a deal?

I accept.

Tell your men to come ashore.

There's a party in your honor.

Well, what does it take to cheer you up?

Not even my own woman
can heat the ice water

in your veins.

Why don't you at least
give this a try, Captain?

Or do you prefer to see
something even more effective?

Dance for him.

Dance for him.

And pull off those rags.

That's enough.

Stop.

Haven't you already decided
he is coming with us to

Santa Cruz?

Come with me.

Let's leave him alone.

You were risking your very life, Captain.

I've never liked to see
a woman being forced to

do something she doesn't want to do.

Olenazy is a brute, I
know, and I loathe him.

But still you obey him.

At certain moments I could
snatch a weapon and kill

him.

And moments when he
holds me close in his embrace,

I can't resist him.

Then I know I'm his woman.

I help him carry out his most daring plans.

I once drifted on a raft for days to catch

the attention of a ship
with a hidden cargo of

silver.

You're a brave girl.

How did you know what
course the ship was following?

Well, the captain was bound
to follow only one course

if he knew the currents.

And how did you know about the cargo?

Take my advice.

Don't ask such questions.

Captain, whatever your name is.

A penny for your thoughts.

I'm thinking of what I
agreed to do for Olenazy.

It's not like in Spain,
but the life here is

not too tedious.

I and my guests will recall
this reception especially on

account of your presence.

It's kind of you to say so, and I'm even

more pleased that you invited me.

I trust you will extend your stay here.

Yes, I'd like to.

Everyone ashore.

You first.

Follow him.

Excuse me the creeps.

Captain Lamont.

Attack from the left side.

Captain Brooke, from the right.

Rock and I will attack
them from the center.

Is that clear?

Will Captain Nobody be as good as his word?

Will he bring his ship
within range of the fortress?

Well, if he does, he will pay for it with

his neck.

And if he fails us, we will pay with our

own.

He'll risk it.

And we'll wait for him here.

Open fire!

There's an appointment between two lovers.

I beg you to conduct yourselves with calm.

There's no reason to be afraid.

You know our soldiers
are here to defend us all.

The fortress is quite impregnable.

Well, we made it on the dot.

Let's rush them.

Thank you, Your Excellency,
for having prepared this welcome.

Do you wish to make the
formal presentation or do

you prefer instead that
we dispense with etiquette?

You'll pay for this outrage, you cutthroat.

Leave that

one alone.

He's mine.

Ollinese, we'd better
be moving out of here.

Take this woman to the ship.

Don't lay a hand on her.

Everybody out of here.

We can't run off before
we save the captain who

attacked the fortress.

Have you lost your mind?

That was our agreement with him.

You're not going back on your word now.

I don't have time to bother with him.

Now get out of my sight before I break you

in two.

Fall back through the town.

Give them

more time.

I'm keeping my word to Ollinese.

Why, Captain, we'll be blown sky high.

Prepare to abandon the ship.

All hands on deck.

These idiots

will only come and
put us out of our misery.

Well, he's one they
won't have to worry about.

You might have known it.

I can see now that we have been betrayed.

Left it to the Spaniards
to do away with us.

Madame.

Perhaps the company doesn't
give you any pleasure, my well

-bred lady.

Is that how they taught you to behave?

Why not take a whip to her, Ollinese?

I'll whip you first.

The ceremony can begin now.

The whole lot of you are invited.

And mourn for him.

I want you to cry.

Fellow pirates of the coast,
companions and enemies of the

deported, I propose a
toast to the success of his

long and arduous journey.

Long and arduous voyage to that devil.

What name should we drink to him by?

No one knows what his name was.

Let's call him something.

Captain Misfortune.

To the repose of the
late Captain Misfortune.

Greetings to all you pirates of the coast.

We're almost overwhelmed
with joy at your return.

I'm very grateful to you
for having organized such a

nice funeral.

But sometimes the dead
come back to ask for their

part of the inheritance.

Let's hear what you have to say.

You must live up to your agreement with me.

You couldn't come and
help me as you promised.

Very well.

But now I want my share.

You will divide your share with me.

You're expecting too much.

I don't think so.

I appeal to your captains.

Half of your booty belongs to him.

And I'll all say so.

It's just as he says.

Very well, then.

You shall have everything
that's coming to you.

Are you satisfied now?

The gold and silver will go to my men.

I want this woman.

I'm not going to let you have her.

Then I'll take her.

Don't let him be killed, Madonna.

Just teach him a good lesson.

I can't really believe that it's you.

And after the way I treated you so badly.

Isabella.

And you were ready
to risk your life for me.

My darling.

I belong to you now.

Now I'm an outlaw.

It doesn't matter any longer what you are.

You love me and I'm staying with you.

No, it's not possible.

I have two men that I
can trust to accompany

you.

Poro.

Go, go.

Go back with them.

You'll soon be an Espanola.

There's no danger.

All the pirate ships are here.

Please don't send me away.

If it were only possible.

I'd never let you out of my sight again.

You must go now.

Oh, please, come with me.

An officer who's been
degraded is compromised forever.

So this is goodbye.

Goodbye, Luis.

Were you listening?

Yes.

But I'll never give away
your secret, Captain.

You have my word of honor.

Thank you.

I'll hang a whole pack of them.

I won't have any peace
until I see every last

pirate with a rope around his neck.

Uncle, one of them saved my life.

Otherwise I wouldn't be here.

I never heard of those dogs
doing anything for nothing.

I'll pay the rascal off
sooner or later whether he

causes ransom or reward.

No, I don't think so.

The man who saved me
from dishonor and death was

not one of the pirates.

He was Commander Luis Monterey.

Monterey?

But are you quite sure?

Yes, as sure as I am of being here.

Monterey?

On the Tortuga?

On the Tortuga?

How could he possibly...

I don't know.

Oh, this is incredible.

It's incredible.

Monterey on the Tortuga.

Safe and sound.

You will help him, won't
you, to redeem his honor?

Why should I?

Because he's innocent.

Innocent, is he?

Yes.

I beg you, Uncle, help him if you can.

I promise I'll do everything
to have him exonerated and

restored to duty.

Governor!

You'll excuse me, sir.

I bring you a message of
the utmost importance from

the Viceroy.

Urgency is no excuse for
you to dispense with good

manners.

Is it bad news?

Yes.

We're at war.

The kings of England and
Spain have decided to lock

horns with each other.

And who gains?

We do!

We are!

Let's throw in with a stronger power.

Yeah!

The English fleet is the most powerful.

Let's join up with them.

Yeah!

The idea has its attractions.

The English would pay
and pay well to have us.

And we are in a position to round out the

price.

Legitimately.

Raiding citizens.

And it's hurrah for the English!

Yeah!

I say for Spain!

Brooke.

Where do you come from, Brooke?

From Ireland!

The Irish are enemies of the English.

And you.

Have you forgotten the
windmills of La Mancha?

And you.

Don't you dream of the Red Earth?

And the birth of Castile?

And you.

Haven't you spoken to me of the Asturias?

Lamont.

You're a Frenchman.

And France is not with the English.

I see you're cured.

What's become of your eye patch?

From now on our companion
can see doubly well.

You.

You used to fish at Barcelona.

You.

You were an innkeeper
in Seville, weren't you?

And you.

And you.

And you.

And all of you.

What language do you speak?

Here amongst you I found a little bit of my

own home in this faraway country.

But you make me ashamed
of the blood that runs

in our veins.

This is a grave period for our country.

But if we help her to come through it.

If we side with Spain.

Not only will we get as much as we would

from the English.

But we could also regain our liberty.

Obtain a royal pardon.

Whatever the wrongs we've committed.

Did you hear that?

Would you obtain a royal pardon?

Yes.

Would you like to have
your pockets full of gold?

Yes.

Well then what more do you expect to get?

Stupid gallows bait.

Are you or aren't you good Spaniards?

Well all right.

Hurrah for Spain then.

You heard me.

We're all with you Captain Misfortune.

You have managed to convince us.

You will have documents to
permit you free navigation issued

to you in the name of the king.

I'll bet they hang you
from the highest lamp post

in the town square.

And have a thanksgiving
for your funeral Captain.

The rum they'll drink at
my funeral hasn't been put

into barrels yet.

I want all of you to sign an oath swearing

that you will not disobey the king.

And with this document
in hand I shall go myself

to Hispaniola.

Good evening my friend.

What are you doing here?

How often do I have to tell you not to

show yourself here without warning me?

There was no time to warn you.

Besides this was the
only way I could be sure

of seeing you.

You have not respected
our agreement either.

Pygad, weren't you content
with the cargo of silver I

sent?

Who gave you the order to raid Santa Cruz?

No one gives me orders to do or not to

do what I want.

The operations you put
me on to serve only as

exercises to keep our sea legs nimble.

Why warn you?

Don't go beyond the limit
of my endurance if you

want your sea legs to get you out of here.

Are you trying to frighten me?

You and I both know too
much about each other.

Be careful.

At Santa Cruz one of them was my niece.

Did she get away all right?

Her name is Isabella.

Why then that beautiful
girl would have been she.

I treated her with great consideration.

And she'd be with me on the Tortugas if a

scurrilous buccaneer
hadn't stolen her away.

You're beginning to show
yourself at your age, Olonese.

That scurrilous buccaneer is
the ex-commander of the Spanish

Navy, Luis Monterrey.

The one who carried the hidden silver?

Right.

And it is to him that I owe the safe

return of my niece.

You owe him that as well.

It's the pirate's oath of fidelity.

They all signed it even
if some could only make

a cross beside their names.

Magnificent.

This offer of allegiance
must never reach the Viceroy.

Perhaps I could change their minds.

But it's not going to be
easy with that Monterrey

who has great influence with my men.

Don't make any mistake.

The English have already accepted my pact.

I was forced to make them
friendly overtures since in

Spain they're beginning to suspect.

Suspect on what grounds?

The disappearance of that
Pedro Salvador and the fact he

died at the trial of Monterrey.

And eventually the truth
will out however we fight it.

And I don't wish to hang in particular.

It's no time to be
talking about the gallows.

Yes, it is.

If it weren't for the
declaration of war I'd already

be under investigation.

We've no other way out.

You and your ships will
go over to the English.

That way the Spaniards
won't have a prey on their

desperation.

And after they've been
defeated no one will be thinking

about me.

And you'll come out of
it with mountains of gold.

The mountains will be half
yours as my accomplice.

Yes.

Everything must be destroyed
on the Tortugas to prevent them

from becoming my enemies.

I'll be forming a supply
base for the Spanish men

of war.

And we must arrange
for our ships to be turned

over to the English fleet.

That'll be the end of piracy.

A fitting end which
will leave you one of the

richest men in the whole of the New World.

Ah, certainly.

I shall turn into a
respectable plantation owner.

I must create a past though.

A kind of guarantee.

I need something to put
me beyond the reach of

the slightest suspicion.

Your gold will make people
forget anything you wish.

Even people like you?

I'd be the last one to betray you.

Certainly.

But when you no longer have any need of me

maybe you'll change your mind then.

And no one prefers to
divide what he might easily

keep all to himself.

Unless, of course, he
divides it within his family.

You're implying that...

That this future rich plantation
owner in the New World

should be related to you by marriage.

I want Isabella.

If you agree to this...

But how dare you?

If you raise your voice
once again I'll slit your

throat like a goat, do you hear?

I'm asking for Isabella.

Give me your answer.

I'll give two-thirds of
the gold if you promise

to go far away, back to Europe.

No, I only want my half.

My half plus Isabella.

Or would you prefer that I go and give an

account to Captain Monterey
of how I learned of the

cargo of silver?

No, you mustn't do a thing like that.

What could you gain by it?

The sight of you dangling
in air from a gallows,

Your Excellency.

All right then.

I have the honor to
request the hand of your

niece in marriage.

Have it your way.

That's better.

We seem to see eye to eye.

I shall be a good husband.

After the destruction of the
Tortugas you shall have Isabella.

After?

Why do you say after?

Otherwise you couldn't trust me.

As you say, we see eye to eye.

Now these are my plans.

In the name of His Most
Catholic Majesty, et cetera,

et cetera, I grant you this
document to permit you

free navigation during
the war against the English.

Captain Lamont, this one goes to you.

You'll be the handsomest
captain in all Spain.

Brock, here's one for you.

Everyone aboard his own ship.

We're sailing as soon as possible.

And I?

I haven't a ship anymore.

Don't get excited.

There's another assignment for you.

It seems that the governor
knows who you are and

expressed his wish to
show you consideration.

He has named you
commandant of the Tortugas.

The islands will stay as they are to be a

supply base for a part
of the Spanish fleet.

Tomorrow the first of the
Spanish ships will arrive and

you'll be here with your
men to do the honors

of the occasion.

You see, it's addressed to
Commander Luis Monterrey in the

name of the King of Spain.

Will that do?

I would have preferred
to return to sea again.

But if these are my orders, I'll obey them.

Perfect.

You'll see that Spain
will repay you as well as

you deserve.

This is one time I go with you.

No.

Why not?

I don't want a woman on board.

Good luck.

Are you happy, Captain, to
be serving your country again?

Yes, to serve my country.

But you would like to be at sea again.

What's wrong, Anna?

I don't want him to sail
this time without me.

I understand.

I'll have my men help you.

Go, go.

Aye, aye, sir.

Just leave it to me.

Thank you, Captain.

Keep our place at the
head of the formation.

Break out full sails!

Break out full sails!

You!

Why, I'll beat you to death!

Now I understand why
Orenese didn't want me sailing on

this ship with him.

I'd only be in the way, huh?

But don't you realize
what sort of life you can

expect to lead?

I, too, you know.

I was captured by force of arms.

And when I was brought
down here the first time

and I entered this cabin,
another woman was leaving it.

The one who preceded me.

But in spite of everything,
I guess I really love

this life and this ship.

It reminds me of a caravan of my mother's.

She was a gypsy woman.

I was forced against my will to come here.

What kind of force brought you here?

I was sold.

Who could have sold you?

My uncle.

He's in league with that Orenese.

They're going to turn
all the ships over to the

English.

I was part of the bargain.

Help me.

I beg you to help me to get away.

I must reach Luis and warn him in time.

We can do nothing.

We've put out too far from the coast.

I want to try it anyhow.

Please help me.

But don't you understand?

He's too far away.

It would be foolish.

There's no way to reach him.

It's impossible now.

How did you get aboard?

Can't you see this is the ladies' cabin?

Get out of here.

I'll make you pay for this.

You filthy traitor, you.

He's a traitor.

He's betrayed all of us.

That lady down there is
the governor's daughter.

She told me.

Traitor.

Does one

of you have anything he wants to say?

Get back to your stations then.

The Spanish fleet.

It's coming into the harbor now.

The Spanish fleet.

That's my ship leading the fleet.

The Victoria.

The flag.

Right away, Captain.

They're hoisting the Spanish flag.

Why, of all the brazen impudence.

Your Excellency, before we
launch an attack on the Tortugas,

wouldn't it be advisable to
negotiate with the pirates?

I do not agree with your views, Commander.

The aid of the pirates
would be decisive in a

naval battle against the English.

We ought to come to
terms with them, subject to

the King's approval.

I won't come to terms with those cataracts.

In war, we can't be choosy of our allies.

Victory is the important thing,
and any means justifies that

end.

It's my decision.

The Tortugas and those
buccaneers are a blight that has

to be wiped out.

The faster you destroy the
men in the installations, the

better it'll be for all concerned.

As you wish, sir.

Give the word to attack at once.

I am at your orders, Your Excellency.

All ships, come about in a line.

Forward!

Luis.

We're finished.

All the naysayers in league with the...

Isabella.

What do you know of Isabella?

Isabella is with all the naysayers.

Aboard his ship.

The governor sold her to him.

They're done for me.

From now on, you watch out for our captain.

I will.

I promise I will.

If I could just manage to get aboard one of

those ships, I'd kill a
dozen with my bare hands

for you.

Don't leave him alone.

Don't leave him now.

I'll see that they pay for this.

I have to, for Gogo's sake.

Come to

the Victoria and stay underwater.

The information we
had was entirely correct.

We've surprised them
when they were defenseless.

Gentlemen, this is a great day for us.

What we are witnessing
at first hand is the end

of piracy.

Gentlemen, grant me the
right to punish a traitor to

our country.

Here is the man who by
secretly forming an alliance

with the pirates has sent
many brave men to their

deaths.

And now he's in agreement with the English.

No, no.

Have mercy.

Please don't take my life.

If you want to save
your life, shout out that

you're a traitor.

Tell your soldiers that you
sold them to the English.

Tell my men about the
pact you made with Olanese.

Speak!

I didn't know anything.

Remember, we were at war.

I was carrying out orders.

Be careful now.

I'm running out of patience.

Very well.

I'll confess it.

Everything said by Captain
Monterey is the truth.

You even sold Isabella.

Where is Olanese waiting for you?

Where is Olanese?

Further east.

From there we were to
set sail for the rendezvous

with the English.

You'd better pray that nothing
has happened to Isabella.

Did you hear that?

It wasn't Spain who betrayed us.

Now listen to what I say.

And remember it well.

Spain is our country.

This is the end a traitor deserves.

He betrayed Spain just as
Olanese betrayed the pirates of

the Tortugas.

Men of Spain!

We are fighting the same battle as you are.

Men of the Tortugas!

Let's go after Olanese
before it's too late.

The General has

just told me to inform
you that we are getting

close now to where the English village is.

Tell that idiot that I'm
the captain of this ship.

And follow the course.

It's about time.

He certainly took long enough
to settle accounts with those

fine patriots.

Up the port side!

Reduce sail and come about!

The other ships will follow
the same course as before!

Hold on

tight!

In a few minutes your uncle will be here.

This is the end of your career!

Which yard arm do you
prefer to be hanged from?

Porro!

Porro!

Every man for himself!

The ship is sinking!

Isabella!

Olanese is dead.

He wanted to sell us all out.

That ship is signaling that
we are headed straight into

the jaws of the English.

Prepare to bring her aboard!

Set your course to
follow the Spanish fleet!

Full stop at hand!

Take the course!

The Spanish are following!

And under full sail!

Therefore we, Viceroy of
New Spain, in the name of

His Most Catholic Majesty
the King of Spain, as a

result of the reversal of
the decision of the court

and in view of the Royal
Warrant and Commission of

Rehabilitation, restore to this
valiant commander his rank and his

full honors.

Be careful.

I'm still only an officer
in the Royal Navy.

I'm afraid I'll have to
settle for that, Commander.
