Anne of the Indies Page #2

Synopsis: LaRochelle, a former pirate captain, is caught by the British. To get his ship back, he works as a spy against other pirates, first of all Blackbeard and Providence. He works on some ships, crossing the Caribbean sea, with the intention of being enchained, when a pirate ship is in sight, to make them believe he's an enemy of the British. One day, his ship is conquered by Captain Providence. What nobody knew before, Providence is a (beautiful, of course) woman. She believes his story and so he joins her crew. But Blackbeard, her fatherly friend, doesn't believe him. Providence and LaRochelle fall in love, although he is married. When LaRochelle tries to deliver her to the British, she forebodes the trap, kidnaps his wife and escapes. As for revenge, she wants to sell his wife on a slave-market. LaRochell gets his ship and his crew back and follows her. ...

Annie, lass. What fair

wind blows you here?

The hope of a sight of you,

you old sea-eagle.

You find me among gulls and sparrows...

...these lubbers who think

themselves sea rovers.

You're like a northeaster after a calm.

Dougal, you Scottish swill bucket!

Snug down an anchor.

Snug down an anchor yourself.

But you're the right kind

of a girl for a Scotsman.

Who's that?

My new sea artist, Pierre Franois.

A privateers man turned honest.

Welcome to our honourable company.

Franois? Haven't we met before?

I've touched at many ports, sir, but...

...it's unlikely that I would forget

the great Captain Teach.

A chance resemblance, perhaps.

And I don't like flattery.

Well, Doctor, still drinking

the ship's varnish?

Way there, you bilge swine.

Way for a real hawk of the sea.

Well, lass, what have

been your fortunes?

Six English merchantmen

in the past month.

Six more hostages in hell

for my brother's soul.

You've scoured the sea like

a broom. I'm proud of you.

It was you who taught me my trade.

And in gratitude, I've brought you

a souvenir of my last purchase.

There was no need, lass.

A sight of you is enough.

It's a fine blade. Try it.

Balances well. Who'll try it with me?

Well, you swill tubs.

You see? Sparrows, all of them.

I'm here.

-You, lass?

Why should I carve you?

Who says you can?

Try and see.

Done, Captain. Captain Rackham,

give me your sword.

Captain, you put me aboard

the 'Sheba Queen'...

...to look after the girl. Yes.

I do not trust the Frenchman.

Well, cut out his gizzard

throw him overboard.

She has taken him under her protection.

Heated of a woman'?

This woman, as you have made her, yes.

Are you ready?

-Ready, Captain.

Track him. I cannot do it myself,

for we sail in the morning.

Learn the yard where he was built,

his registry and his sailing orders.

I'll see to it.

Done!

Stuck! Stuck in the gizzard

by a slip of a girl.

Blackbeard, you could have

cut me down at your pleasure.

Annie, lass. Rum for all hands.

We'll celebrate Blackbeard's downfall.

Did you see, Dougal, Frenchie?

Where is he?

He must have left during the fight.

Annie, come, lass!

Not so fast, my hero.

Take your hands off me!

Temper, temper. But you'd best

polish up that smile of yours.

What do you want?

It's not me you have to reckon with.

The Captain wants you in her cabin.

Here he is, Captain.

Where've you been?

Well, I told you. I had

business in Nassau.

What business?

Mine.

A wench? Ls that why

you chose the dress?

No. The dress is still in my sea chest.

Then maybe you're a spy.

You're at liberty to think so.

Be careful, it might go off.

Not by accident.

You're still alive only because I have
