Queen of the Seas (1961) - full transcript

Redhead Mary is a girl who dresses like a man to better approach, and rob the jewels worn by the pretty ladies of her time. The King's Guard captures her, and she finds herself in the same cell with Peter Goodwin, a nobleman - who pretends to be a robber like her, to flirt with her. After her evasion, Mary goes up the ladder in her criminal life - becoming a good pirate under captain Poof. When the captain dies, the only 'man' aboard who is respected by every faction among the pirates is... Mary. She represents a menace to the Florida Governor, who invites a nobleman to lead the King's naval forces against the pirates: Peter Goodwin.

STAGING POST

Excuse me.

Never mind.

Is everything okay, coachman?

Security service.
At the king's orders.

Hello.

Is everything okay?

You disturbed our sleep.

It is better than being robbed.

Watch out,
there is plenty of bandits around.

What bandits?



I'm travelling alone and no one
ever stole me a brooch.

What brooch?

My brooch!

My jewels!

I've been robbed!

Stop!

Where are you going?

But I...

Sorry, we've been disturbed.

Insolent!

You won't feel like joking after
some time in London prisons.

Hands off, henchmen!

He's your partner, isn't he?

This old simple-minded?



Arrest them all,
I'll be in good company.

Take him!

You can go.

Me, old simple-minded?
What a way to behave!

Open.
Here's a new guest.

Turn back!

Calm down.

The warden has
convincing methods

with troublemakers.

Welcome. Who are you?

My name is Peter? And you?

Marius.

A gentleman... What does
a gentleman like you here?

I've been caught.

A thief?

That's what they say.

A prosperous thief.

Me?

I'm from a good family.

Well, well...

The aristocracy of thievery.

Stealing is an art, you know.

Transmitted from father to son.

You're different from
the other men here.

Thanks.

And you?
How long have you been here?

Not long.
Anyway, everything was wrong.

I don't have your traditions.

Tired?

Okay, we'll see tomorrow.

What?

You don't want to rot here
all your life...

No, but that's not up to us.

If you want to refresh yourself,
you'll have to do with that.

The Thames water.

Take your clothes off.

No... I'm tired.

Well...

Good night.

Good night.

They finally brought the soup
in the courtyard.

How is the food here?

I wouldn't call that "food".

You have beautiful hands, Marius.

And a nice face.

You must had gone on
many women's head.

Women?
That's my weak point.

Mine too.
I can't resist a woman.

Fresh skin, sweet perfume...

Slender ankles

and legs, prelude to the grace.

Stop it, that's enough!

What's the matter?
I'm speaking about women.

Round and velvety shoulders...

When I speak about women,
I mean you.

- When did you understand?
- Last night.

You wanted to conceal it
while we may stay here all life.

What's your name?

Mary Read.

Mary Read? The woman bandit?

Some call me this.

You're not only stealing jewels,
but also hearts.

- I...
- Nothing at all!

- Leave me alone.
- What if I keep going?

What would you do, screaming?
To let everyone knows?

I won't scream.

I can defend myself.

I won't do anything to you.

I'll do, if you keep going!

You're strong.

And what's this?

It's mine.

You got me, huh?

I didn't notice anything.

''From lord Goodwin to his dear son.''

Where did you steal it?

To lord Goodwin.
They busted me for that.

And you keep this kind
of thing with you?

When you're caught, it's better
give back what you stole.

Especially if it belongs to a lord.

That's the only way
to hope for mercy.

I don't want anyone's mercy.

Out. Meal time.

Line up! Hurry up!

Stop!
The stench troubles the warden.

Do you want to end up
in penal colony?

Thanks again and goodbye.

How stinky!
They look like rotten worms.

Pick up three of them
to make them clean up.

You.

You...

And you.

- You can't.
- Why?

After it's finish, you'll have to undress
and wash yourself in front of the warders.

Thanks.

All the stables.

I never brushed the ground
so much in my life!

But for you, I can clean up
the stables every day.

What does this rascal want?

I wouldn't be in his shoes.

Hey you, the warden wants to see you!

Not you, the one called Peter.

Your Lordships are too kind
to come at this our.

It's only a thief after all.

Who pretend to be lord Goodwin's son.
So?

You don't know those bandits,
milord.

They would make up anything
to get away.

Let him in, we'll know the truth.

Well, milord.

Come in!

The son of a lord, with this look
of coward and assassin...

- Hi!
- You found quite a place to stay!

A lot of girls are crying.

But we'll tell them that you look
like a coward and an assassin!

I feel like staying another night.

Why, do you like it?

Life is like a dream in this prison.

- Thank you, sir
- You!

- A cigar!
- Right away, milord.

Here, milord.

How dare you give this trash
to the son of a lord...

I didn't know that...

Is he really lord Goodwin's son ?

Are you still doubting it?

No, God forbid...

Your Lordship, your appearance,
your noble features...

Can you explain us,

Peter, how the hell
did you end up here?

For countess Bacon's ball,
I disguised myself as a thief.

Milord, be merciful,
it's a tragic mistake.

All right.

This morning,
I cleaned up your stables.

Tomorrow, you'll clean up mine
and we'll call it even.

Thanks, milord, thanks.
They'll be polished...

Polished.

Are you coming or do you prefer
to enjoy our host hospitality more.

I'm coming. But I first have
to go back in my cell.

Farewell, Mary.

Why? Where are you going?
They let you go?

No, the lord manifested himself.
They'll put me in another prison.

Peter, the torture!

You must give the medallion back.

No, it's too late.

Take it.

In memory of me.

- Come on, Peter.
- Hurry up!

Help!

I'm dying!

Hurry up, save me!

What is it?
What's all this din?

Help!

Help me, I'm dying!

Hurry up, I'm dying!

- What's the matter?
- The door is stuck.

Come on!

Come on!

Help me!

Stop or I shoot!

I must see milord.

His Lordship doesn't
receive tramps!

I bring this back to him.

It belongs to milord.

I'll give him myself.

Where did you took it?
Did you steal it?

No. Someone gave it to me.

I'll tell everything to His Lordship.

Would you announce me?

Follow me.

Don't touch anything if
you don't want to taste the whip.

A funny story, believe me.

Too bad it was so short.

You're incredible.

Will Mary Read stay locked for long?

If they recognise her,
at least six years.

And else?

She'll be out in five or six months.

I was wrong.
She's clearly already out.

A poor blind...

A poor blind...

Grandfather...

What do you want from a blind?

To help him cross.

Mary ! Let's go, we're not safe here.

- Do you have a fianc?e ?
- No...

- I bought this for you
- For the jail?

I was sure you'll be out after two days.

You're my granddaughter.

- You have talent.
- I know, grandfather.

I must leave this place

To where?

- Far away.
- Where?

Where there's no lord
and people like this.

What would we steal
without them?

Prison just give people
the need to flee away.

Tonight, we'll get drunk at the Golden Gallon
and you'll forget all about it.

- Grandfather, I don't feel like it.
- You'll come.

Tonight, we're celebrating
captain Poof's return.

The luckiest king's corsair.
So?

Okay, we'll go

Fine!

Excellent!

Who are you,
the queen of England?

She's much more.

It's my granddaughter, Mary Read.

And I am captain Poof.

I like you. Come. Come on.

Come.

Next time, take off your hat
in front of a lady.

Good...

You get everything you want
with good manners.

I'd like my corsairs to be
well dress like you.

I precisely wanted to have
a word with you about that.

Will we drink something?

Most honoured, milady.

Hey you, give the lady a seat.

Please.

Captain, I want to board with you.

You?

Is it a bad idea?

No, on the contrary,
it's a terrific idea.

Yes, but...

- As a sailor.
- Precisely.

The prettiest sailor
ever seen on a boat.

Is it?

Perfect. He's coming too.

What?
The granps is coming with us?

Captain, who do you thing

taught her how to use a pistol?

Silence! Shut up!

You're hired.

Both of you.

And now, let's drink to
the king's new recruits.

Sorry.

Enough!

A real sponge!

Cheers!

Captain, you'll cruise

offshore north and central America.

His Majesty and myself
wish you good luck.

Thank you.
And thanks the king.

Assure him I'll steal only
on his name, as always.

Anchors aweigh!

Ready to sail away!

Be careful of the ropes,
over there!

Hurry up up there or I come
to kick your bottom.

Captain, we're ready
to take our duties.

- Can you cook?
- Me?

Enough to have all the crew
drool over for it.

Good. Go quickly in the kitchen.

You, come with me.
Your place is in my cabin.

Poor captain Poof...

Captain, this is my cabin.

Out.

Your cabin?

God almighty, are you kidding?

It's my cabin. Mine!

Don't move!

Keep quiet.

I'll obey you only concerning
the work, is that clear?

Crystal clear.

Then get back on the deck.

On the deck!

All this goes in the hold.

Sailor!

Get up there and take in the sails.

Well, captain.

Shut up! Take your positions!

At work!

Birds of ill omen.

- Anything else, captain?
- No.

Can I go put my things
in the cabin?

Yes.

Out of my sight!

Taste this broth.

It's a secret recipe.

I called it "consomm? eat-tripe".

I got it.

Then came a girl and a old man.

She took his heart and
kick him out of his bed.

You are mine.

The bed, the cabin, the ship,
everything is mine.

Why can't you understand?

I like passionate women.

Captain!

Captain, a Spanish ship.

Damned!
What are you looking at?

Get back to your position,
you bird of ill omen.

We'll go back to that later.

Ready to open fire!

Steer to starboard.

Stay on that course.

Take your positions!

At your orders, captain.

Go back to your cabin,
you don't belong here.

I can take care of myself.

Fire!

Full speed ahead!

Those pigs have
the wind with them.

Prepare to board!

Mary, that's some idea you got...

Unlike them, we belong to the land.

Mary !

Captain!

- Captain...
- Mary...

I finally succeed to
have you loving me.

For this only reason...

it bothers me to die.

Surrender!
You'll be treated as prisoners of war.

Surrender!

Or we'll kill you all.

We surrender.

We surrender!

If we have to go to prison
ours are better.

Tug the sloop.

Lock the prisoners in the hold.

Let go of me!

Is that what they call
Spanish gallantry?

Women...

Always ready to sell themselves
to the highest binder.

Coward.
You'll feel sorry for saying that...

Come on. Keep moving!

Madam, please forgive
the harshness of my men.

Who could think a flower
was hidden among this scum.

I hope you're not keeping
flowers in the hold.

No. Allow me,

don Pedro Alvarez da Costa,
duke and Grandee of Spain.

Please accept the hospitality
of my cabin.

It's an honour, captain.

The prisoners are in the hold.

Repair the damages of the ship.

And don't disturb me.

Please come with me.

Here, my pretty lady.

This is all I can offer to you.

But everything is at your disposal.

Everything is beautiful, here.

The nobles have refined taste.

Thank you.

You're flattering me.

What's your name?

My name's Mary.

Mary...

You are beautiful.

Your eyes are like the sea.

You don't lose your time, captain.

I'm a sailor, my dear.

You are the woman of my dreams.

Keep dreaming, my friend.

Your wakening will be violent.

It was a close shave, today.

At least, the captain
got his reward.

It's Mary. Can you hear me?

Here's the keys.

Open without a noise.

Slowly.

Somebody replace him.

We'll attack them one by one.

Arm them as we go along.

Quickly.

Go.

Hey, Manuel...

Ready? Let's attack together,
they'll have no time to react.

To the sea!

Good luck, friends.

What are you waiting for?
Let's hail Mary Read!

Friends, as we are risking
our lives

let's do it for ourselves,
not for England.

- She's right.
- We'll get rich.

I'm taking the command and
the name of the dead captain.

You'll call me captain Poof.

Our freedom of movement
will be bigger.

Long live captain Poof!

Hurrah!

I love your skin.

And your slender ankles,
prelude to the softness of...

Peter... shameless as always.

No, my dear.

Only when I find
a flower like you.

I love your shoulders.

Round and velvety, prelude to...

Oh, Peter...

I like dancing with you, but...

there is too much people.

Lord Goodwin, the lady is here.

Miss Elisabeth, glad to see you

and honoured that you
accepted to come.

Milord...

We'll be more comfortable
in my sitting-room.

You know...

Please excuse me, miss Elisabeth.

and you'll can rest a bit.

I should refuse, but...

Peter just made a new victim.

He probably didn't had
to struggle very long.

A single minuet movement.

No, there's too many
people here.

Come. It's much better over there.

Where are you taking me?

But it's a bedroom.

Is it that important?

I adore you.

You're the most beautiful
woman in the world.

It's not true but I'm glad
to hear you say it.

You must believe me.

You're the most adorable
creature in the world.

Your eyes reflect your soul.

You know,
I'm in love with your soul.

- You're looking for it in my corsage?
- Why not?

The soul hides in the most
secret places.

You reach it from the body.

Peter, every lie becomes true
on your lips.

Relax yourself.

Don't think about it.

I love you.

Do you really believe it?

I wouldn't believe it if
I were in your shoes, miss.

But you, milord,
you'll never be in my shoes.

Father, it's not nice of you.

Go, my darling,
we'll resume this an other time.

Go, now.

No, Peter, there will be
no other time.

- Is it? Why?
- Because that's enough.

You're the shame of the family.

At your age,
I already campaigned against Cromwell.

You're not even at the Academy.

I refuse a military career.

Then enter the Church.

Me? Come on, father.

Why?

You won't be the first...

There's only one other way
in this case: marriage.

That's the lesser evil.

Very well.
I already chose a wife for you.

A noble woman,
with a significant patrimony.

As you wish.

Do you agree?

I don't have the choice.

- I'll announce your engagement.
- Thanks!

So who's the young lady
that will be my wife?

Wake up, you sleepyheads!

On the ground! In the saddle!
On the ground!

Faster, you sleepyheads!
In the saddle!

On the ground!

In the saddle!

Stand straight!

Trot two and two!

Gallop one by one!

Jump, you sleepyheads!
Jump!

Jump, damn it! Jump!

Did you see?

Do like your mate Goodwin does.

Let's go, miss Elisabeth.

Our little Peter is turning into
a real Goodwin.

Don't shoot.
Let's try to board it without destroying it.

Full speed ahead.

Hoist my flag!

Pirates! Tiller to starboard.
Take in the sails.

- Quickly.
- How terrible, they'll kill us.

Take cover.
We'll try to escape them.

Pirates... How exciting!

Will they be honourable enough
to spare the girls?

Take cover. Cannons don't know
anything about gallantry.

Look, it's an English ship.

I never attacked the English before.

Be careful,
we have a treaty with them.

lvan, there's only one treaty
we know: the prey.

There's no difference between
Spanish and English nobles.

With my cannons,
I can crush it in no time.

We're here to pillage, no to kill.

Aim for the mainmast's base.

Fire!

Stop!
We have to resign ourselves.

We can't face them.

Stay calm and we'll maybe
save our lives.

What an adventure!

Their chief is maybe an
handsome young man,

like in the novels.
Do I look good?

Take down the sails,
hoist a white piece of cloth.

They are surrendering!
Board gently.

Weapons out.

Let's go

Milord...

My ship is yours,
but you are wasting your time.

I'm not a lord and
my cargo is ordinary.

I wouldn't say that.
Check the hold.

Miss, why are you travelling
on this tub?

Just by accident.

I'm expected in Florida at a party
given by the viceroy.

And you're crossing the ocean
just to go to a party?

Are you French?

- You are beautiful.
- And you, nice.

Who are you?

His Majesty Louis the XlV's
first dancer.

I'm coming from Versailles
to dance for the viceroy.

Captain, there's only cotton
in the hold.

And these things.

Holy Moses, all this for nothing!

It doesn't matter.

You have nice dresses.

How does it look on me?

It's perfect, Mary.

Take the girl on board and
free the others.

What a way to behave!

I'm coming on my own will.

Let's go back on the sloop.

We'll sail towards Florida.

Why?

f the loot doesn't come to us,
then we'll go to it.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,
the star attraction of the party:

a surprise coming expressly
from the court of Paris.

Now I understand why the court of
France is so much talked-about.

It's scandalous,
we should stop her.

- Indeed.
- It's indecent.

Hand's up, stand still.

Stop that joke, miss.

Don't move.
Here comes the best part.

Come in!

I won it.

The king himself never
had such a show.

Don't do anything stupid.

You enjoyed the dance, isn't it.
Now it's your turn.

I take this...

And this.

You lose some jewels but you have
plenty more in your safes.

Hands up, come on.

Come on! Both!

Forget it.

Some shows are against
my principles.

Be ready to leave.

Don't move if you want
to stay alive.

Say it.
I let you a brooch, isn't it?

More honest...

Speak louder!
Everyone must hear you.

More honest can't be!

Good,
now I have a clear conscience.

Long live captain Poof!

Long live captain Poof!

Opening bid: 100 ounces of gold.
It's not enough.

Tell us what to do.
Our lives are yours.

You're gonna live old,
you have my word.

What are you doing?

Breastplates are
totally outmoded.

It's not a breastplate,
it's a throat-guard.

A lot would love to slit it
for 100 ounces.

They're looking for captain Poof,
not for you.

How would they know it's not me.

Those people slit first
and ask next.

As I'm always near you and
look like a chief,

they'll think I'm the captain.

Any orders for the steersman?

We'll stop all the ships
coming from Europe.

Why not. But I'm careful.

I'll keep my breastplate until I retire,
and a wool knitwear also.

Mary...

It's you, lvan...

Why are you looking at the sea,
every night?

I don't know.
It helps me remember.

You're not happy, Mary.

- And I...
- Please, don't say anything.

I believed those words once,
and I'll never believe them again.

Maybe some day.

Thank you.
Get back to your position.

Well.

Officer cadet Peter Goodwin...

As you obtained
the maximum of points,

by the gracious will
of his Majesty,

I name you first class captain

and I leave the cruiser
New England in your hands.

We need fearless men

to put an end to the activities
of the felon corsairs.

You're leaving for America
in 15 days

to free our colonies

from the most dangerous pirates.

Captain Goodwin,
do you have any objection?

None, sir.

Ship at starboard.

It looks Spanish.

This ship fly no flag.
It's a pirate boat.

What are your orders?

We keep our cape.

We could destroy it in no time.

I know, but our mission
starts in New Bristol.

The governor must be impatient
to see civilised people.

Why would we give ourselves
trouble before?

It's a powerful ship,
we can't fight it.

Mary, it starts to look bad for us.

Let's return and get back
to our respectable work.

Tiller to port!

Hoist the Portuguese flag.

- Are we running away?
- Full sail.

Let's hope this stronghold
forgets about us.

We go back to San Salvador.

Hoist!

Welcome, captain.

We weren't expecting you so soon.

Did you heard of
a 60 cannons cruiser?

Morgan, l'Olonnais and Blackbeard
came back because of it.

They want us death.

- I almost bumped into it.
- You saw it?

Invincible. All of us together
couldn't manage to sink it.

Yet, we must try.
It's there for us.

What else do you know?

The captain is Peter Goodwin,
it is said he swore to destroy us all.

- Say that name again.
- Of that miserable?

- Say that name again.
- Goodwin, the son of a lord.

- Are we gonna cross him?
- In New Bristol.

This is where the information
is coming.

- Where are you going?
- In New Bristol.

They'll arrest you.
Even a women should fear the gallows.

A sword won't turn a coward
into a brave.

Nobody will know.

All the nobles are going to be there.

I don't like it. I'd prefer do the job
from inside the coach.

Help... Bandits...

What's happening?

She probably has been attacked.

Nonsense.
There's no bandits in Florida.

Get off and hands up.

Get up.

Step back.

Don't play hero,
I don't want to ruin your clothes.

I have nothing with me.
I'm going to the governor's party.

You "were going"...

How pretty you are, miss.

Raise your sweet little hands.

- I am a woman!
- Who said different?

Take your clothes off.
Tell us who you are.

Take my clothes off. Me?

Quickly. The clothes,
we won't hurt you. Who are you?

You're disrobing the count of Berry.

She is my ward.

Of course...

You are going at the governor's party.

- Is it correct?
- Yes.

Does he know you?

The duke and
the duchess of Welcott.

The marquis and the young
marchioness Salvatierra de Castilla.

The count of Berry
and Mademoiselle Duchamp.

The nobles from Gold island.

Excuse me, Your Excellency,
who is this lady?

I don't know, captain.

I arrived recently.

Such a beauty deserves
a better company.

Please excuse me.

Do you allow me, Mademoiselle?

Count...

I... don't have the words
to describe your beauty.

But you seem to know how
to speak to women, though.

I had a curious idea
about the colonies.

In London, they are believed
to be savage lands

inhabited by those who want
to run away from justice.

It could be the truth.

By the way, who told you
I wasn't a thief?

Stop joking.
I can make the difference between

an adventurer and a great lady.

Yes, of course.

The garden has really lovely areas.
Do you want to see them?

Actually, I'm with the count of Berry.

He doesn't look unhappy.

A bandit get in and says:
"Hands up!"

I raise my hands...
to catch him and lay him low.

I tell him:
"No foreigners in my coach".

When I saw you,
I felt like we meet before.

Among so many women...

None is as adorable as you.

Why are you laughing?
What's your name, Mademoiselle?

My name's Mary.

Mary... It's an English first name.

Come on, don't tell me
you forgot your repertoire.

Slender ankles,
prelude to the softness of the legs.

Velvety shoulders...

Mary, the prisons of London,
the medallion!

- You!
- Me, Peter Goodwin.

You've been a long way,
from seducer to captain.

So as you.

From the London thief
to the colonies' tart.

You're right.
I can't reproach you anything.

Forgive me.

Now that we met again,
give me another chance.

Of course, Peter.

I'll give you all the chances.

But why did you come here?

My father wanted to give me a wife.

I'd rather took the command
of the New England

with the mission
of crushing the pirates.

But now that I met you again,
we'll go back soon.

Soon?

How do you plan to defeat the pirates,
without experience?

There will be no battle.
Poof is the only dangerous pirate.

I already have a plan to get him.

But it's gonna bother you...

No, it's very interesting.

How do you plan
to capture Poof?

No one succeeded.

Its' a simple plan, but efficient.

A few fast small ships are gonna
wait for the pirate.

As soon as he'll be here, they'll flee away,
dragging him behind them.

The governor and I will be hidden
behind the capes at the Gulf's entry.

When the pirate will arrive
close to my cannons, I'll...

It's a great plan!

Now, I'm sure we'll be
in London soon.

Let's go back inside before
they notice we're missing.

When do I see you again?

You'll see me very soon.

This time, he's gonna
fell into the trap.

No, I bet one guinea that Poof
won't show up.

Well done, boys! Anchors aweigh.
The governor's gonna be surprised.

Ship in sight!

Its' making signals!

Trap successful.

New England intercepted Poof.

Goodwin asks for support.

''Goodwin... asks... for support.''

He fall into the trap.

Take in the sails! We're following the sloop.
Full speed ahead.

Send: "Roger.
Following your way."

Poof is done.

Here they come.
Full speed ahead.

Goodwin will believe
Poof is following us.

It's time for revenge, Peter Goodwin.

You agreed on a signal, right?

I asked you a question!

Answer.

If things turn bad,
you'll sink with us.

If I'd succeeded to have Poof
following me,

I was supposed to shoot
the cannon three times.

before to pass over the cape.

Gunners, take position.

Nervous, captain?

No. Not because of Poof.

Listen, you're old.

What would you think
of a woman

who stole a medallion from me and
gave it back to me right away.

I gave it to her again but, later,

she threw it at my face.

Now, I met her again.

She kissed me and took me
the medallion back.

I think you're in love.

And you should be careful, captain.

Take your positions!

Tiller to starboard !

Get ready!

Here it is.
The pirates must be behind.

Ready to open fire!

Aim the cannons
at the governor's ship.

Full sail and stay the course.

The cannons are ready.

Then, fire.

Open fire on this ship,
don't miss it.

- Long live captain Poof!
- Hurrah!

Now, we're even, Peter Goodwin.

Tiller to starboard, full speed ahead

Goodwin!

Let this rascal come in.

The Academy made you a captain

but forgot to teach you how to recognise
a ship from another one.

I cashier you!

By virtue of the powers
conferred to me.

What do you have to say
to shuffle off?

Your ship was following the sloop
who just did the right signals.

Yes, I know...

you were following it,
not chasing it.

But you must admit
I couldn't clearly see it.

Peter Goodwin, are you saying
that all this is my fault?

Do you know you killed three sailors
and destroyed my ship?

I should hang you for that.

I'm not trying to justified
myself, sir.

I have no excuse
for having open fire on you.

I knew Poof was smart but
I never imagined...

Someone must had inform him
about our plans.

It's impossible.

You and I were
the only ones to know.

Mary!

Who's that Mary?

Say, did you speak about it
to someone?

Yes, sir, I did.

Now, it's a personal matter.

I'll go to see captain Poof on my own.

I'll bring you his head.

If I succeed, you'll rehabilitate me.

Otherwise... it's not a problem.

It's a crazy thing to do, Goodwin.
But I agree.

You have one-in-a hundred
chance to succeed.

But if you do,
I'll forget everything.

Where can I find captain Poof?

The San Salvador island
is their hideout.

No ship ever succeed
to force the port.

It's nothing more than
a huge bazaar

where the pirates
squander their haul.

I'll take you close to the island
with the New England,

but you'll be on your own.

I'll cruise offshore the island
until dawn.

Some clothes and a good knife
is everything I need.

Very well, Goodwin. I hope
to call you captain again.

Good luck.

Hey, you, do you want some?

It's my treat,
and there's plenty.

Thanks, friend,
but I have to see Poof first.

Captain Poof...
he's not the same he used to be.

He doesn't come to see women
as he used to do.

You'll find him on his ship,
over there.

He doesn't come
to see us anymore.

He spend all his time on his ship.

What's wrong, Mary ?

Leave me alone.

Mary, lvan is a good boy.

Don't do it again.

All the women need a man.

Grandfather, that's my business.

Excuse me, I'm a bit irritable.

I know, you're like this since
you've heard about Goodwin.

Come on, forget everything
about this story.

You had your revenge,
forget it now.

Let's bravely criss-cross
the seas again.

Who knows what happened to him?

Who?

Peter.

Peter Goodwin.

A captain who sink
the governor's ship

can't be decorate.

Don't worry.

They can even... hang him.

But they'll probably chop
his head off.

The fastest way to do.

- A good blow and bang!
- No!

You still love him, do you?

Good night, grandfather.

Good night, Mary.

I knew you betrayed me,
but I didn't think I'll find you in his bed.

Run away, if they'll find you,
they'll kill you.

I have to kill Poof first.

I have two reasons to do it and
it's useless to try to defend him.

Listen to me carefully, then.

Kill captain Poof to obtain
the governor's pardon.

Kill him to prove you're a man!

Do it right now!

I am Poof.

You? Do you think I'm that dumb?

I am captain Poof.

You want to save your lover.
I'll never kill a woman.

Run away before they find you.
I can't answer for my men.

Don't say anything else.
At least, keep a bit of decency.

Or I'll forget you're a woman.

Captain Poof !

Don't move!

Captain...

This man tried to kill you.

Under our law, he deserves to die.

Let's hang him!

Take him!

Captain Poof,

if you really were a woman,
you wouldn't enjoy this kind of show.

I know you're killing me

to take your revenge over the only man
who made you feel what you really are.

A woman like any other woman.

Peter Goodwin, your place is
in London's sitting-rooms.

Come on.
What are you waiting for?

Give him a sword.

He deserves the rope,
not the sword.

Who's in charge here?
Give him a sword.

Listen, Goodwin.
Fight like if I was a man.

The winner will decide what
to do with the other.

Bravo, Mary, come on!

Come on, Mary !

And now, captain ?

Don't move!

I'm gonna keep my word.

He defeated me.

Peter Goodwin, my life is yours.

Captain, you are my prisoner.

- Follow me
- You won't take anybody with you.

You're already lucky
we let you go.

Take cover!

Quickly!

We can't fight them!

Abandon the ship,
go to the island!

Get closer, quickly!

- Goodwin!
- There's nobody left!

Keep going,
we're out of reach now.

I couldn't abandon you
to your destiny.

Chance has been with us.

Thank you, sir.
You saved my life.

And this damned captain Poof ?
Tell me.

I can't wait to know
if your mission was successful.

Captain Poof? You know...

He's dead.
I killed him during a duel.

This girl was his prisoner.

You are a courageous man.

This lovely creature should be
a sufficient reward.

But I give you back the command
of the New England.

You'll go yourself to London

to tell about your exploits.

This is the first time ever
I taste water, but...

Who is he?

Mary... Mary !

Are you all right, count of Berry ?

Those damned pirates
wanted us dead.

LONDON, SIX MONTHS LATER

Again?
I already told you three times.

Tell us how you killed
the terrible captain Poof.

Was he seven feet high?

Did he chop off the heads
of his prisoners?

Ask to this gentleman,
he also knew Poof.

Captain Poof ? He was a giant.

His sword was too heavy for
three normal persons.

It didn't scare Peter
when he fought him.

A big blow and bang!

He stroke him down.

You are adorable. If all the women
are like you in the colonies,

I'll have to quickly leave
the old England.

Sorry, duke.

I leave her to you regretfully.

You're the happiest man
in London.

Your wife is wonderful.

''Wonderful''.

I could become jealous of such
an enthusiasm.

Of course.

If they keep on adulate you.

I'll tell them who really
is the terrible captain Poof.

They won't believe you.

For them, I'm the poor girl
found chained in the hold.

You're such a good story teller
that everybody believe you,

even yourself.
