00:00:08You are...
00:01:01Since the days of the early settlers, an empire of wealth has grown on the rich deltaland along the Mississippi
00:01:07River.
00:01:08With the growth of the vast plantations, sugar ceased to be a luxury and became a commodity of necessity that
00:01:16affected the markets of the entire world.
00:01:18As wealth came, so did the raiders and pirates who formed black markets.
00:01:24Sugar became as valuable as gold.
00:01:26The destruction of the river empire was threatened, for nothing stood between the thieves and their gold, but a few
00:01:34courageous planters and their loyal overseers.
00:01:36The destruction of the river empire was threatened, for nothing stood there.
00:01:45The destruction of the river empire was threatened, for nothing stood there.
00:02:03Hush up your singing, Marie.
00:02:11Pourquoi, Monsieur Louis?
00:02:18You don't like my singing?
00:02:21Sounds fine, but there are other things I must listen for.
00:02:35You wait here, Jerbo. I'll look around.
00:03:20Come on.
00:03:24Swine.
00:03:28No, the men, yes. Swine, that's another matter.
00:03:49Come on.
00:04:00What the devil are you doing here?
00:04:02I told you there was to be no clue.
00:04:04You sounded the alarm.
00:04:06Anyway, I was only doing it for you.
00:04:09For me.
00:04:10For 1,100 bags of sugar.
00:04:13Sugar was only part of it.
00:04:15I'll get back to your horse and clear out.
00:04:17I've got work to do.
00:04:26Stay quiet. We're all of you.
00:04:28Or you'll get hurt.
00:04:31Anton.
00:04:32Call the flatmate.
00:04:45Anton, careful how you stack that sugar. I don't want to lose any in the river.
00:04:48I load him good, Hugo. Don't worry.
00:04:52Lily, I don't want you here. There's liable to be trouble.
00:04:55Look, this raid's for me and I'm staying.
00:04:58I'm staying to see that not one bag of sugar remains for the aristocratic Monsieur Tulane.
00:05:04You really hate Tulane's innards, don't you?
00:05:06Yes, I do.
00:05:07I'll teach him to tell people where they can live.
00:05:17Evening, Monsieur Lefarge.
00:05:18Hello, Benedict. Tulane family home?
00:05:21In the drawing room, Monsieur.
00:05:22Good.
00:05:25And with raw sugar, a ten and a quarter, a hundred pound bag, I shall be able to pay Gabriel
00:05:318,000 on the loan and have enough left over till the next crop.
00:05:36Bonjour, René.
00:05:37André.
00:05:38Ça va?
00:05:39Come on in.
00:05:41Madame?
00:05:42So nice of you to drop over, René.
00:05:44Oh, please, Monsieur Tulane, don't get up.
00:05:46No.
00:05:47Brandy, René.
00:05:48Sit down, René.
00:05:49We've missed you.
00:05:51How's the malaria, Monsieur Tulane?
00:05:52Oh, it comes and goes.
00:05:54But I think I'm improving.
00:05:56You get your crop in yet?
00:05:58My sugar cane's almost all cut.
00:06:00I'll start milling next week.
00:06:02Rumor has it you have a good crop.
00:06:04Ah.
00:06:071114 bags.
00:06:08That much?
00:06:09Well, congratulations.
00:06:12Evidently, you've gotten rid of the red rot.
00:06:14André did a thorough job of burning over all the fields last season.
00:06:17They almost burned the house down doing it.
00:06:19Might have been worth it to get rid of the red rot.
00:06:22Sounds like you have some on your place.
00:06:23I found a little in the northeast section.
00:06:26But the real red rot I found in my house.
00:06:30Jacques Scarlet.
00:06:31The delta man from Bastille Bayou.
00:06:33Is that old pirate still trying to buy you out?
00:06:36He was back again two days ago.
00:06:38I must say, he made me a very handsome offer.
00:06:42Now, don't worry, Monsieur Tulane.
00:06:43I turned him down.
00:06:45I kept my promise to you.
00:06:46Good.
00:06:47Good.
00:06:49It is the only thing to do, Rene.
00:06:52If we let any of those delta cutthroats gain a foothold in this community, we will be either killed or
00:07:00driven out.
00:07:03Well, that's the last of it.
00:07:10I'd give anything to see Monsieur Tulane's face when he discovers his loss.
00:07:15It would cost me some men, but it could be arranged, depending on how much you're willing to give.
00:07:23Apparently not enough.
00:07:37To the Tulane Prosperity.
00:07:41Raid.
00:07:46Push! Push!
00:07:47Feed! Feed!
00:07:49Get to the horses. Hurry!
00:07:51You stay close.
00:08:17Please, let's see.
00:08:18You are out.
00:08:22I'll go take a stake.
00:08:23Click on that one.
00:08:27What!
00:08:42Let's go.
00:08:45I'm through struggling, Monsieur Tillet.
00:08:52Well, now that you've caught a Delta woman,
00:08:55what are you gonna do with it?
00:08:57If I turn you over to the sheriff,
00:09:00ten years in parish prison.
00:09:03On the other hand, if you agree to show us the way
00:09:05to your secret hideout at Bastille Bayou, you can go free.
00:09:08Would you betray your friends?
00:09:11My friends are not thieves and cutthroats.
00:09:14They say parish prison is a vermin-filled pest hole.
00:09:18Ten years is a very long time.
00:09:22How long do you think I'd live if I betrayed my friends?
00:09:27Pay your boat fare to St. Louis.
00:09:31I might get to like it in St. Louis.
00:09:35Then it's a bargain?
00:09:37Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:09:38Ah!
00:09:39Oh, Monsieur, my ankle.
00:09:43I think it's broken.
00:09:45Better let me remove your boot before it starts to swell.
00:09:50Ready?
00:09:51Mm-hmm.
00:09:54What's your name?
00:10:32What did you do?
00:10:43I say you're coming.
00:10:44Yeah, you know.
00:10:44Oh, gosh, yes.
00:10:46I said you're coming.
00:10:46The man.
00:10:46I said I'm coming.
00:10:47The man.
00:10:57Well, it was a long, hard ride for nothing, gentlemen. I'm sorry.
00:11:00Better luck next time.
00:11:02Sure you won't join me for breakfast?
00:11:03Thanks, Andre.
00:11:04It's about time our boys were out in the field.
00:11:07We're all harvesting now.
00:11:09Oh, by the way, tell your father not to worry about George Gabriel.
00:11:12I'm sure he won't.
00:11:13Gabriel's sure to grant him an extension on the loan.
00:11:15Gabriel had better if he wants our sugar for his refinery.
00:11:19I'll tell him that.
00:11:20Thanks.
00:11:31Well, we trailed the raiders past Baca Bayou.
00:11:34Then their trail vanished in the swamps and forests.
00:11:37Sheriff, there must be some way we can get into Bastille Bayou and exterminate these raiders.
00:11:41But how, monsieur?
00:11:42All we know is that the Bastille Bayou is somewhere in the lower delta.
00:11:46But there are hundreds of bayous.
00:11:48And you can be sure that even if you found the right bayou, it would be well guarded.
00:11:52And on the land side, their hideout is protected by a jungle of swamps and forests through which only the
00:11:57raiders know the way.
00:11:58Then we'll have to set a trap that'll make them come to us.
00:12:01A well-baited trap, I trust.
00:12:03If they walk into the trap, I have a strong feeling that the most important fish you'll catch will be...
00:12:08Monsieur Herschak, Scarlet.
00:12:10Well, speak of the devil.
00:12:17Bonjour, monsieur.
00:12:22I know René Lafarge.
00:12:25Hello, René.
00:12:26But which of you is Jules Thulaine?
00:12:28I am monsieur, Jules Thulaine.
00:12:32Ah.
00:12:36Tonnerre.
00:12:37If I had my way, I'd kill all the swabs who made these blasted collars.
00:12:46A votre santé.
00:12:50Good.
00:12:54You wish to see me, monsieur?
00:12:56Um, yes, monsieur.
00:12:59Uh, for two reasons.
00:13:01First, I believe it was you who blocked my purchase of the Lafarge plantation.
00:13:07It was.
00:13:08For what reason?
00:13:09At the moment, you happen to be a guest in my home, so I shall simply say that you would
00:13:14not fit into our community.
00:13:16Oh, because I was a pirate, eh?
00:13:19Because I come from Bastille, Bayou?
00:13:22The words are your own, monsieur, but they cover the situation completely.
00:13:27Perhaps monsieur Scarlet has come to trade.
00:13:30Trade?
00:13:30Our sugar crop, which your Delta men stole last night.
00:13:34Which, of course, you will return if my father withdraws his objection to your buying into our community.
00:13:38Delta men?
00:13:40Oh, no, no.
00:13:41Sure, I have nothing to do with them anymore.
00:13:44When President Madison granted full pardon to Lafitte's pirates for their services in the Battle of New Orleans,
00:13:50I left Bastille Bayou and became a lawful citizen.
00:13:55I own part interest in the gambling ship, Lily Scarlet.
00:13:58Well, you have patronized it?
00:14:02During the last two years, the Red Rod and raids by the Delta men have left the planters with no
00:14:07money for gambling.
00:14:08Oh, I think it would have been less a gamble at my tables.
00:14:13I believe you said there was a second reason for your visit.
00:14:16Anxious to pipe me over the side, eh?
00:14:18Maybe I will be brief.
00:14:21Monsieur, I offer you the sum of 50,000 for your plantation.
00:14:28That's $30,000 you owe on your future crops, the $15,000 mortgage on your plantation, and $5,000 for
00:14:37yourself.
00:14:39How the devil did you manage to pry into my affairs?
00:14:42Well, I'm a businessman, monsieur.
00:14:44I always investigate what I'm going to buy.
00:14:47Benedict, show Monsieur Scarlet to his carriage.
00:14:51Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.
00:14:56I am enchanted with your beautiful home, monsieur.
00:15:01And the quality of your brandy.
00:15:05I hope to spend many years enjoying them both.
00:15:25Is your father home?
00:15:27He's upstairs. I'll go get him.
00:15:29No, wait.
00:15:29I have a summons for your father to appear at 10 tomorrow morning at the courthouse.
00:15:34I would much rather you gave it to him.
00:15:35Summons for what?
00:15:37Non-payment of debts.
00:15:38It seems the sugar crop the Delta men stole was security for payment on a note.
00:15:42Now the entire amount of the note has become due and payable, $30,000.
00:15:49That's ridiculous.
00:15:52George Gabriel holds my father's note.
00:15:55He's an old friend. He wouldn't issue a summons.
00:15:57George Gabriel sold the note.
00:15:59It is the new owner who instigated this action.
00:16:02Sold it to whom?
00:16:03To a woman named Lily Scarlet.
00:16:07Lily Scarlet?
00:16:09Jacques Scarlet's daughter.
00:16:12There may be some difficulty in getting her to grant us an extension.
00:16:16I sincerely hope not, Andre.
00:16:18For under the debtor's law, failure to pay would mean a prison sentence.
00:16:22Good afternoon.
00:16:45First case.
00:16:48Lily Scarlet versus Jules Toulay.
00:16:59I'll find your address tonight.
00:17:02And the parasol, a distinct improvement over last night's attire.
00:17:06Don't know what you're talking about.
00:17:09Monsieur Le Magistrat.
00:17:11This woman was with the Delta men when they raided our plantation the other night.
00:17:15I captured her, but she escaped by hitting me over the head with a rock.
00:17:20This is a very serious charge, Monsieur Tulane.
00:17:23You have witnesses and proof to substantiate this?
00:17:26I was the only witness, but I think I can supply definite proof.
00:17:30When I pulled her off her horse, this woman injured her right ankle.
00:17:35Amazon Scarlet?
00:17:36Perhaps Monsieur would like to examine the evidence.
00:17:40Your permission?
00:17:41Permission granted.
00:18:00It's amazing to what lengths a Creole gentleman would go to avoid payment of debt.
00:18:05Monsieur was mistaken, no?
00:18:07You will apologize to Mademoiselle Scarlet at once.
00:18:11I apologize for underestimating you.
00:18:16Monsieur Le Magistrat, due to lack of evidence, I am forced to withdraw my charge.
00:18:27Monsieur Jules Toulay.
00:18:30Your sugar crop was collateral for a payment due on your note,
00:18:34which is now held by Mademoiselle Scarlet.
00:18:38I understand this crop was recently stolen.
00:18:41By the Delta men.
00:18:43Well, technically, this makes the entire note due and payable to the amount of $30,000.
00:18:47Technically, yes.
00:18:50But, of course, I do not have such an amount of money.
00:18:53Besides, it is customary in such cases to grant an extension on the payment due until the next crop is
00:18:59harvested,
00:19:00with, of course, additional interest charges.
00:19:04Well, now, this is a usual and not unreasonable request, Mademoiselle.
00:19:09I regret that my own financial position forces me to insist that the $30,000 be paid immediately.
00:19:17Perhaps you could, uh, mortgage your plantation for this amount.
00:19:22My plantation is already mortgaged to the hilt.
00:19:26Then, Monsieur Toulay, under the debtor's law, I must sentence you to a term of five years in parish prison.
00:19:31I protest.
00:19:33Jacques Scarlet and his daughter stole our crop and deliberately forced this situation,
00:19:38merely because my father prevented them from buying the Lafarge plantation.
00:19:42This court must confine itself only to the unpaid debt.
00:19:46My father suffered from malaria for many years.
00:19:49It wouldn't last a month in parish prison.
00:19:54Baby, he is old and sound.
00:19:57Give him an extension.
00:19:59Shh.
00:20:00I know what I'm doing.
00:20:02Monsieur le magistrat,
00:20:05it would tear my heart to send this proud old gentleman to such suffering.
00:20:10Therefore, I am willing that he be given a suspended sentence,
00:20:14providing that his son, André,
00:20:16enters into bonded servitude to me for a period of three years.
00:20:19No.
00:20:21No.
00:20:22It is unthinkable.
00:20:24Outrageous.
00:20:25Monsieur le magistrat,
00:20:28the genteel reputation of the citizens of Bastille Bayou being what it is,
00:20:33there is a possibility that during my servitude I might lose my life.
00:20:38In such an event,
00:20:39would both my father's debt and his suspended sentence be cancelled?
00:20:43I will agree to that.
00:20:45It shall be so recorded.
00:20:48Then I do hereby agree to enter into bonded servitude to Lily Scarlet
00:20:52for a period of three years.
00:20:53It shall be so recorded.
00:20:58When does my slavery begin, Lily?
00:21:00You will address this lady as Mademoiselle Scarlet.
00:21:05Well, Lily?
00:21:06Your servitude has already begun, André.
00:21:09The room has been reserved for you at the end of the Golden Rooster.
00:21:12You report to me aboard the Lily Scarlet at ten tomorrow morning.
00:21:16Monsieur le magistrat has already witnessed that my servitude has begun?
00:21:20That is correct, monsieur.
00:21:25I dislike your remarks.
00:21:31Your boorish manners and your face.
00:21:36At your service.
00:21:39The dueling hoax at daybreak.
00:21:42The weapons?
00:21:43Rapiers.
00:21:49You fool.
00:21:51Jugerman has fought nine duels.
00:21:54He left nine bodies on the field of honor.
00:21:58Well then, Lily, you'd best hurry to the cathedral and pray.
00:22:02For you're in danger of losing both the exquisite pleasure of my servitude and your $30,000.
00:22:08Let's go 돈 after $50,000.
00:22:12Do you mind?
00:22:13I'm not sure.
00:22:22But I would love you.
00:22:23I'd say to you.
00:22:23I said they're giving me money to the cathedral.
00:22:28To the sisters.
00:22:31I said it's crazy.
00:22:32I said it's crazy.
00:22:33I said it's island.
00:22:38You're taking food and you're taking food and you're taking home.
00:23:27Sounds like the storm signals are flying.
00:23:30Milly me, mon ami, this is not a good night to talk clearly.
00:23:34On the contrary.
00:23:38What do you want?
00:23:42Very beautiful when you're angry.
00:23:59Well?
00:24:04I know why you forced that handsome aristocrat into your bondage.
00:24:08Do you, indeed?
00:24:11If you get him so crazy mad, he'll even offer marriage to get you.
00:24:16That'd be a shortcut to becoming a lady, wouldn't it?
00:24:21I hadn't thought about that.
00:24:24Don't waste your time.
00:24:29Going to kill him like you did all the rest of them?
00:24:32Of course.
00:24:34You love to walk into a tavern and see people afraid of you.
00:24:38Hear them whisper, there's the great Hugo Marat, the deadliest duelist in Louisiana.
00:24:46But you're not great.
00:24:48You're just a crude, arrogant lout with a hellish knack for killing.
00:24:58Lily, if I were only to wound your fine aristocrat, then you wouldn't lose your $30,000 investment.
00:25:10You'd like that, wouldn't you?
00:25:18I'd have to receive some similar compensation.
00:25:23Otherwise, you'd kill him.
00:25:33You know, Hugo, we're partners in a gambling boat.
00:25:40Nothing else.
00:25:42Why, you.
00:25:49Baby, what are you doing?
00:26:12To the Tulane plantation.
00:26:14Hurry.
00:26:39Oh, no, no, stop, stop.
00:26:42André, when René lunges... Wait a minute. Here, let me have your sword. René, I will show you.
00:26:49It is over 30 years since you handled M.P.
00:26:58At which time I would remind you, my cher, that I was considered something of an expert.
00:27:07Now.
00:27:09Monsieur. Oh, no, no, no.
00:27:10No, no, no.
00:27:13Now.
00:27:14It is said that Hugo Marat's favorite thrust is the coup d'arrêt.
00:27:18When René lunged at you, you either parried and retreated, or you parried and reposted.
00:27:25Marat does not do that. Marat delivers the death thrust.
00:27:30So, I shall show you. En garde.
00:27:34There.
00:27:34And when you launch, you try to hit me here.
00:27:45There.
00:27:47That, my son, is the coup d'arrêt, for which I shall be well prepared.
00:27:53That will not be necessary.
00:27:56André, I am sending you on an own to Baton Rouge. My carriage is outside. You will leave immediately.
00:28:00That's impossible. I'm meeting Hugo Marat at dawn tomorrow.
00:28:03I have a large investment in you, André. I do not intend to lose it.
00:28:11Young woman. My son has issued the challenge.
00:28:15Regardless of the consequences, he must go through with this duel.
00:28:19The honor of the Tulane family is involved.
00:28:22Honor? That's what's wrong with all of you. Take a good look at yourselves.
00:28:26Having any money, yet you pose and strut and cling.
00:28:28That's enough.
00:28:29Shut up. I'm only just beginning.
00:28:31Are you André's mother?
00:28:34Yes, my dear.
00:28:37Well, Hugo Marat is a master swordsman.
00:28:40André wouldn't stand a chance against him.
00:28:42What do you want? Do you want your son alive and well?
00:28:44Or would you prefer to have him dead on your field of honor?
00:28:48My dear, there are some things more precious than life.
00:28:53Between Tulanes, there are tradition and a code d'honneur.
00:29:01Monsieur le comte Henri de Tulane, André's grandfather.
00:29:05He was a famous soldier and a noted duelist.
00:29:19And how did he die?
00:29:22On the field of honor.
00:29:25Defending the good name of my saintly mother.
00:29:28Oh.
00:29:29Got himself killed and made your mother a widow.
00:29:32May make sense to you, but it certainly doesn't to me.
00:29:36This morning you told me to report aboard the Lily Scarlet at 10 tomorrow morning.
00:29:39So until then, good night.
00:29:42By 10 tomorrow morning, your body will be rattling through the streets of Caray in a hearse.
00:29:47Now for the last time, will you get into my carriage and go to Baton Rouge?
00:29:50Do I have to throw you out?
00:29:53So you disobey my order.
00:29:56Very well, then I shall so advise the court.
00:30:00And your father will be sent to parish prison.
00:30:21Good night, Mr. Marat.
00:30:23The law is ait enough to do.
00:30:25Good night, Mr. Marat.
00:30:27Good night, Mr. Andrey.
00:30:28Good night.
00:30:30Good night, Mr. Andrey.
00:30:32Good night.
00:30:58I'll referee this duel.
00:31:00Ridiculous!
00:31:01Monsieur Marat has already engaged my services.
00:31:03My daughter said that she is going to referee.
00:31:08Your pleasure, mademoiselle.
00:31:12Anton?
00:31:15Your choice, monsieur.
00:31:25You both know the rules.
00:31:27At the first blood drawn, the duel is over.
00:31:29If then a contestant refuses to stop fighting, he will be shot.
00:31:35Take your positions.
00:31:39Ready?
00:31:40I'll go.
00:31:42I'll go.
00:31:43I'll go.
00:31:51I'll go.
00:32:01I'll go.
00:32:06I'll go.
00:32:25André's defense is superb.
00:32:27But sooner or later, Hugo's rapier will reach his heart.
00:32:32If it does, I'll kill him.
00:32:59If it does, I'll kill him.
00:33:10The duel is over.
00:33:12The duel is over.
00:33:14I'm alright.
00:33:15He only raked my ribs.
00:33:16You're lucky.
00:33:17He almost got me twice.
00:33:21Well, you think your slave will live?
00:33:24Take André to my carriage.
00:33:29Take care of Monsieur Maher.
00:33:33Bend your head forward, please, Monsieur.
00:33:46Just a scratch.
00:33:48I tell you, I'm all right.
00:33:49Will you please stand still and be bandaged?
00:33:51I don't want a bandage.
00:33:52You're going to have a bandage.
00:33:53I won't have a bandage.
00:33:54You will have a bandage, and that's the order.
00:33:56Please, please, my children, my children.
00:33:59Andre, you'd better be bandaged.
00:34:01Lily is very much like her mother.
00:34:04Ah, it seems like yesterday.
00:34:06I boarded a Spaniard off Panama, and in the cabin I found her.
00:34:12Scarlet lips, red hair.
00:34:15And a temper.
00:34:16Oh, it was unbelievable.
00:34:18Let me show you.
00:34:20Teeth?
00:34:21Look, he's not interested in my mother's teeth.
00:34:22Are your battle scars?
00:34:23Now, please.
00:34:24On the contrary.
00:34:28You were fortunate, Andre.
00:34:32Next time, my blade will find its mark.
00:34:34No, Hugo.
00:34:37There has been enough trouble for one day.
00:34:39Come with me.
00:34:40I have something to show you.
00:34:41Here, come.
00:34:42Here, come.
00:34:48Does Hugo live around here?
00:34:50At the end of the hall.
00:34:52That's fine.
00:34:53I slave for you all day and fight Hugo at night, huh?
00:34:57I have not told the court that you disobeyed my order to go to Baton Rouge.
00:35:01Do not do it again.
00:35:03For the rest of your servitude, you'll challenge no one to a duel.
00:35:06You understand?
00:35:08You have the rest of the day out here.
00:35:09Bandage yourself.
00:35:11Report for me in the morning.
00:35:12In the meantime, your parents may be worried about you.
00:35:15You have the rest of your life.
00:35:16Lily.
00:35:19Yes?
00:35:20You're quite a woman.
00:35:23Mm-hmm.
00:35:52Good evening, Lily.
00:35:54Lille.
00:35:54Monsieur Lille.
00:35:55Lille.
00:35:56My chef.
00:35:57Your gown.
00:35:58It simply enchants me.
00:36:00Obvious.
00:36:06Good evening.
00:36:07Good evening.
00:36:08Monsieur.
00:36:10One.
00:36:12Standing.
00:36:14Monsieur.
00:36:15One Yvette.
00:36:16A little one.
00:36:24Pay twenty-one.
00:36:30Luck is with you tonight, Monsieur Gabriel.
00:36:34C'est vrai, Lille.
00:36:35And her name is Yvette.
00:36:39Merci, Monsieur.
00:36:43Lille.
00:36:48I'll take over on these.
00:36:50All right, Lille.
00:36:52Monsieur.
00:37:11I'm so sorry.
00:37:25Lady Dealers.
00:37:26Clever idea.
00:37:28Yours or Hugo's.
00:37:29Happens to be mine.
00:37:30I thought so.
00:37:32Lady Dealers can cheat the patrons blind and not get shot for.
00:37:36I have a standing offer of $1,000 reward to any patron who catches one of my girls cheating.
00:37:42Well, if we just had some more money.
00:37:45Let's see.
00:37:47In a rash moment, you put a figure of $30,000 on me.
00:37:52How much?
00:37:53How much would you offer for Monsieur Lafarge?
00:37:55How much would you offer for Monsieur Lafarge?
00:37:57Oh, two.
00:37:58Oh, one cent up.
00:38:01I'm hardly worth it.
00:38:03Have you seen Monsieur Gabriel?
00:38:04Yes.
00:38:05Oh, he was over there a moment ago.
00:38:12Your slave.
00:38:14At 10 tomorrow.
00:38:20Well, what's wrong, Monsieur Gabriel?
00:38:22Andre.
00:38:23Rene.
00:38:24Monsieur.
00:38:24Two Brandies.
00:38:26Andre, I was shocked to hear of the court verdict.
00:38:28Yes, my father was astounded when he learned that you sold his note to Lily Scarlet.
00:38:32But, my dear boy, I did no such thing.
00:38:34She must have bought it from the bank.
00:38:36Last year, so many planters came to me for money, I was forced to discount their paper.
00:38:41I'll tell that to him.
00:38:42Please, do so at once.
00:38:44Your father is an old and valued friend.
00:38:46I'll see him this afternoon.
00:38:48Good, good.
00:38:50Now, vote your son, please.
00:38:51Vote your son.
00:38:55My boy, there must be some way I can help you out of this present unhappy predicament.
00:39:00I think there is.
00:39:02You see, Lily Scarlet was with the Delta men when they raided our plantation.
00:39:07A strong feeling that she and her father are their leaders.
00:39:11That, of course, is not impossible, but how can you prove it?
00:39:14By baiting a trap with my new sugar crop?
00:39:17Well, you see, Rene's gonna let it be known that as a safety precaution he's storing his sugar at my
00:39:22father's plantation.
00:39:24The Delta men having just raided your place would have no reason to return.
00:39:28Yes.
00:39:30But don't you think it should be kept a secret?
00:39:32Well, you see, I'm not moving my crop, monsieur.
00:39:37When the Delta men raid the Tulane plantation, the planters will be there in force.
00:39:41And catch the Scarlets red-handed.
00:39:44Excellent.
00:39:45Excellent.
00:39:45Excellent.
00:39:46Please call on me for any help I can give.
00:39:50And now, if you will excuse me, I will see if my luck still holds.
00:39:55Sure.
00:39:55Sure.
00:40:00Andre, what makes you so sure that the Delta men will fall into our trap?
00:40:04I'm not.
00:40:07You see, I don't trust Gabriel.
00:40:09Oh?
00:40:10I think the stolen sugar passes through his refinery.
00:40:13But, Andre, if Gabriel is one of them, be sure to warn them about our trap.
00:40:17He won't prove a thing.
00:40:19Not unless they make off with your sugar.
00:40:21Oh, no, no, Andre.
00:40:22I don't mind using my sugar as bait, but, well, I can't very well afford to lose it.
00:40:27Look, Rene.
00:40:29The river current should be strong enough to force a flatboat right up to the bank of Baca by you.
00:40:34Close enough for us to board it.
00:40:37And get back my sugar.
00:40:39I think this calls for another drink.
00:40:41Just one.
00:40:42I want that trap set right away.
00:40:44Of course, of course.
00:40:45Two more brandies, please.
00:41:01Hello.
00:41:03Bonjour.
00:41:03Bonjour.
00:41:05Big night.
00:41:06Ah.
00:41:07How's the wound?
00:41:08Sore, but satisfactory.
00:41:10Uh-huh.
00:41:10Oh, you're lucky.
00:41:11You know, that Hugo was a devil with a rapier.
00:41:14Let me give you a bit of advice, mon ami.
00:41:17Uh, Lili is a splendid girl, but a little sensitive.
00:41:22Like her mother.
00:41:24You would do well to use extreme patience with her.
00:41:27He hasn't much choice.
00:41:33Have you, Andre?
00:41:35You're a slave reporting.
00:41:37Well, what are your orders?
00:41:39Polish the brass?
00:41:40Scrub the decks?
00:41:41Shine your shoes?
00:41:42Or peel the vegetables?
00:41:44No.
00:41:44I think we'll go for a drive.
00:41:49Au revoir, papa.
00:41:51Au revoir.
00:41:51Au revoir.
00:42:06The marketplace, Henri.
00:42:11You will sit there.
00:42:20I'll, uh, try to remember that I'm a slave.
00:42:25I'll help.
00:42:28Hello.
00:43:08The basket's on there.
00:43:10He can do it.
00:43:19I'll help you.
00:43:20Bonjour, mademoiselle Scarlet.
00:43:21You have nice fresh corn today.
00:43:23Alligator pears.
00:43:25And mustard greens.
00:43:27Yes, well, I'll have, uh, two dozen years of corn.
00:43:31No.
00:43:32Four dozen.
00:43:33And, uh, a dozen alligator pears.
00:43:35And six bunches of mustard greens.
00:43:37My servant.
00:43:59I'll take six string of onions and a basket of apples.
00:44:03Oh, yes, madam.
00:44:04André.
00:44:05Lissère.
00:44:06Bon time, monsieur.
00:44:09These baskets.
00:44:10Like a slave.
00:44:12It is a funny joke, no?
00:44:14No.
00:44:15Oh, Mademoiselle Barbette, Lily Scarlet.
00:44:19Lily's my new mistress.
00:44:20Oh, for shame, André.
00:44:22Even I am shocked.
00:44:24Mistress in the sense that I'm in bonded servitude to her for non-payment of a debt.
00:44:29Bonded servitude?
00:44:30Oh, my poor André.
00:44:32How could she do such a terrible thing to you?
00:44:35Well, au revoir.
00:44:41What a melons.
00:44:43I'll take them.
00:44:45Au revoir.
00:45:10When the carriage is full, a servant has to ride flunky.
00:45:14In the back.
00:45:21of Jesus.
00:45:21Man, I have the filet.
00:45:41Are we better can heë?どうも?
00:45:44for sure,
00:45:44Maria. Does he change
00:45:44his empathy? Three,ées
00:45:44or a ple錯? I'm sorry,
00:45:57André.
00:45:59You sent for me?
00:46:02Yes, I want to talk to you.
00:46:06I must warn you, André, that Hugo will try and goad you into fighting another duel.
00:46:10You're worried there's still a chance of losing me and your 30,000?
00:46:15If you fight another duel, you will be disobeying my orders again.
00:46:19And whether you survive or not, your father will spend the next five years in parish prison.
00:46:28Come here.
00:46:35Pardon my back.
00:46:50Hook me up.
00:47:03Well, what are you waiting for?
00:47:08Orders.
00:47:23I tell you, I saw you. You pulled the card from the bottom of the deck.
00:47:27I'm sure you're mistaken, madame. Our dealers don't cheat.
00:47:30Keep out of this. I know what I saw. She's a thief. A cheat!
00:47:34Why, you are inquiring!
00:47:35Ladies, please!
00:47:36You're cheating, too! You're all bloody cheap!
00:47:39Wait, wait, wait!
00:47:42What is it good for you, monsieur?
00:47:44Don't you push him! Who do you think you are, anyway?
00:47:47Mademoiselle, come quickly. There is trouble.
00:47:49Yes?
00:47:53Isn't Hugo down there?
00:47:54I am not so sure. He is not the cause.
00:47:57One of the girls he hired was caught cheating with the cards.
00:48:00Which one?
00:48:01Henrietta. I know the police are coming.
00:48:26Disgraceful! Disgraceful!
00:48:27So wonderfully disgraceful!
00:48:30Come on!
00:48:30Ha, ha, ha!
00:48:45Dr Deville, 1811.
00:48:48Good vintage, too.
00:49:00Oh, no!
00:49:04Hey, Lily!
00:49:08Hey, Lily!
00:49:13Oh, keep.
00:49:35You knew what kind of girls Hugo would hire. Why didn't you tell me?
00:49:39I knew what kind of girls they were, all right. But I didn't know they could also cheat at cards.
00:49:45And why wasn't he arrested when we were?
00:49:47The last time I saw Hugo, he was under a table. Unconscious and well hidden.
00:49:53Even when he's unconscious, his luck holds out. Well, that's it. I'm through. I'm through with Hugo.
00:49:56You want to buy him out? You didn't have enough money to purchase the boat originally without him,
00:50:01and now you haven't got enough money to buy him out.
00:50:04As for the banks, they're all owned by the Creole aristocrats, and you couldn't get a centavo from them.
00:50:10Right, mon ami?
00:50:11Just as intolerant of you as you are of them.
00:50:14How could we be otherwise? When Papa made your father an offer of his plantation, he was shown the door.
00:50:18And with good reason. You stole our sugar crop.
00:50:20I didn't steal one bag of your sugar.
00:50:22No? What were you doing there, then? Picking magnolia blossoms?
00:50:25I was just seeing the raiders took everything. That's all.
00:50:28Oh, please. Maisenfant. Please.
00:50:31Do you want to wake up to the whole prison? Go to sleep.
00:50:35So you've gained nothing from the raid but the ruination of my father.
00:50:38And before I'm through with him, he'll learn he's got no God-given right to tell people where they can
00:50:42or cannot live.
00:50:43Nobody's going to cheat the Scarlets.
00:50:45Nobody but Hugo. He kicks you around, and yet you do nothing.
00:50:49Leave me alone. I'm tired.
00:50:54Look. Hugo's out to ruin the planters. And you and your father as well.
00:50:58Are you going to just sit there or are you going to do something about it?
00:51:01What do you want me to do? Show your friends the secret way to Bastille Bayou?
00:51:04Long ago, all the decent people left Bastille Bayou.
00:51:08Now only Hugo and his killers remain.
00:51:12Unless they're wiped out, there'll be no peace along the river.
00:51:15I told you I was tired. Now why don't you leave me alone?
00:51:25I'll tell you why.
00:51:28It's because you're a woman. The loveliest and most courageous I've ever known.
00:51:35And you know a tavern where the innkeeper is very discreet.
00:51:40But I'm Lily Scarlet, so you can't take me home to meet your mother or your father.
00:51:47We so-called aristocrats have a queen old custom.
00:51:51We'd never go home without our brides.
00:52:00You don't have to wait for orders.
00:52:10Good morning, everyone.
00:52:18What took you so long?
00:52:20Bailing us out or joining us?
00:52:22We'd hoped you'd come for us last night.
00:52:24Did you?
00:52:24Yes, this place is worse than a Spanish dungeon than forever bailed.
00:52:30Jacques Scarlet?
00:52:31Yes.
00:52:33Lily Scarlet?
00:52:34Eh, my daughter.
00:52:35You both bailed out.
00:52:36What about André Tulane?
00:52:39Poor André.
00:52:40You know, I forgot all about him.
00:52:42I'll have you out in an hour, André.
00:52:44Oh, soon in the morning.
00:52:45Au revoir.
00:52:52Okay.
00:53:07Hey, dear.
00:53:09Assistant.
00:53:09The manuscript is about this.
00:53:10I am.
00:53:11Great.
00:53:13Boy.
00:53:13Oh, boy.
00:53:27André.
00:53:28Monsieur Gabriel.
00:53:29My dear boy, this is outrageous.
00:53:30I came the moment I heard my lawyers arranging your bail now.
00:53:33Why did you not send me word?
00:53:35Well, for two reasons.
00:53:37First, I had no messenger.
00:53:38And second, I was waiting for Lily to come and bail me out.
00:53:41It would have been a long wait, I'm afraid.
00:53:43André, after our talk yesterday, I sent my men to watch the Scarlets.
00:53:47This morning, they rode off.
00:53:48My men followed for some time.
00:53:50And then reported back their road south, toward the river.
00:53:53I'm afraid the Delta men will raid tonight.
00:53:56Was Hugo Marat with them?
00:53:58No.
00:53:59They were alone.
00:54:00Do you also suspect Marat?
00:54:03I suspect everyone.
00:54:05Even me, I think.
00:54:06I do not blame you.
00:54:07My refinery could easily market the stolen sugar.
00:54:09I must admit, the thought had occurred to me.
00:54:12Tonight, if the raiders walk into your trap,
00:54:14there will be no further need for suspicions.
00:54:35In case we run into trouble on the river trail,
00:54:37they are loaded.
00:54:38Good.
00:54:39I hope to have use for them before the night's over.
00:54:41With luck, we will arrive in time to help the planter spring your trap.
00:54:50Perhaps André Doulain, he smells a rat, huh?
00:54:54He has no reason to distrust Gabriel.
00:54:56Yet.
00:54:57You are sure he's going to carry powder, but no bullets?
00:55:00Very sure.
00:55:03Tonight will hold many surprises for Monsieur Doulain.
00:55:33You are sure he's going to carry out.
00:55:41Come on.
00:56:11Come on.
00:56:36Come on.
00:56:39Gaspar and Blois, they'll get him.
00:56:41In this forest, in the dark?
00:56:46Gabrielle, you and I have finished.
00:56:48Andre will have you arrested within 24 hours.
00:56:51But the planters, Hugo, they'll lynch me.
00:56:54You promised to protect me.
00:56:56I won't let them lynch you, Gabrielle.
00:56:58No.
00:56:59No, no, no, no.

01:00:46On every bag, ship-shaped, tight,
01:00:48so when we hit the open sea, they'll hold fast.
01:00:53You were the one who talked me into a partnership with Hugo?
01:00:56Now, look what it's done for us.
01:00:57He's sailing the Lily Scarlet at dawn the morning,
01:00:59and there's nothing we can do to stop him.
01:01:01But, baby, I...
01:01:03Andre.
01:01:05Andre, you shouldn't be here.
01:01:07Hugo's ordered his men to shoot you.
01:01:09That why you waited to bail me out?
01:01:11So instead, you sent Gabrielle to lead me into an ambush.
01:01:13Well, it failed, and he'll be in jail tomorrow morning.
01:01:17Gabrielle's dead.
01:01:19Hugo shot him.
01:01:20When we left you, we came here to get the money to bail you out.
01:01:24But we fell into a trap.
01:01:26Hugo and his men had taken over the boat.
01:01:28Well, why didn't you go to the police?
01:01:30We tried to.
01:01:32Hugo locked us in here and put guards outside the door.
01:01:35Look, I knocked the guard out of the dock.
01:01:37I think we can get out of here.
01:01:39Let's try.
01:01:45Afraid to risk another duel?
01:01:47That's a lie.
01:01:49No, it's the truth.
01:01:50You're afraid to risk another duel with the only man you couldn't beat.
01:01:54That's what people would say.
01:02:10I'm casting off now, so I must be the one to name the time and the place.
01:02:15Bastille Bayou, Daybreak.
01:02:18The choice of weapons is yours.
01:02:20Machetes.
01:02:22Machetes, huh?
01:02:24Oh, yes.
01:02:25You're an expert with machetes cutting sugar cane.
01:02:37Machetes is like the cutlass.
01:02:40My favorite weapon for the quick kill.
01:03:07Easy, starboard.
01:03:08Easy, starboard.
01:03:12Steady as she goes.
01:03:14Steady as she goes.
01:03:23Baby, where are you going?
01:03:25I can't swim or wade down by clothes, and I'll need them when I get to the Tulane plantation.
01:03:29Oh, no, baby.
01:03:31I forbid it.
01:03:33Those paddle wheels, they cut you to pieces.
01:03:35Look, even if Hugo doesn't kill Andre, the Raiders will.
01:03:38I've got to get the planet as the Bastille Bayou before Daybreak.
01:03:42You love him that much, eh?
01:03:55Lily, open up.
01:03:56Keep away from my daughter, you black-livered swab.
01:03:59Open the door.
01:04:00I'll break it down.
01:04:08You better not try it.
01:04:10Pouring coal oil on the dish.
01:04:12If I help me, I'll fire the ship.
01:04:17I can wait.
01:04:19Just see that Lily's temper doesn't fire the coal oil.
01:04:49You better not try it.
01:05:23I'll take over.
01:05:53We found out the planters immediately.
01:05:55We have to reach Bastille Bayeux before daybreak.
01:05:57Where the devil did you come from?
01:05:58After Lily Scarlet. Andre's a prisoner there.
01:06:01He fights Hugo again tomorrow morning at dawn,
01:06:03and even if he wins, the Delta men will kill him.
01:06:05I believe, Ertus.
01:06:07Celeste, please. You mean you want to lead the planters into an ambush?
01:06:11Here's your note for $30,000.
01:06:13It's soaking wet, but it has my signature on it,
01:06:16and it still reads paid in full.
01:06:18There are 800 bags of your sugar aboard the Lily Scarlet.
01:06:21Rene, round up the plateaus to the east.
01:06:24I'll take the west.
01:06:26Come, my dear.
01:06:27I'll find you some dry clothing.
01:06:30I don't need any dry clothing.
01:06:31I'm a Delta woman.
01:06:33I don't need pampering.
01:06:34And perhaps a hot coffee.
01:06:38My dear,
01:06:39it is high time we Tulanes realized
01:06:42that it is not where you come from that counts,
01:06:46but what you are.
01:06:48I only hope
01:06:49Andre will have the good fortune
01:06:51to bring you into the family.
01:06:54I'll speak to him about it, madame.
01:06:58I want you to try.
01:07:00You're right.
01:07:00I want you.
01:07:00I want you to try.
01:07:01Let's try.
01:07:05Let's try.
01:07:09Let's try.
01:07:11I have to try.
01:07:13We'll go.
01:07:14Let's try.
01:07:14Let's try, Luke.
01:07:15What?
01:07:15What are you?
01:07:16What are you?
01:07:17The last two chances
01:07:17He'll come.
01:07:20You'll come.
01:07:24We'll go.
01:07:37I'm in this carlet. She's coming in.
01:07:39Get your gear ready and I'll find out where we'll eat.
01:07:48Where was the boy you go?
01:07:50When do we sail?
01:07:52In the morning, mon ami.
01:07:53In the morning?
01:07:55After we take care of some very important businessmen.
01:08:23Ready, mon ami?
01:08:24I'm ready.
01:08:29And you, my fine aristocrat.
01:08:32Ready.
01:08:33Ready.
01:08:37Ready.
01:08:46Ready.
01:08:50Ready.
01:08:53Ready.
01:08:56Ready.
01:09:00Ready.
01:09:12Ready.
01:09:19Ready.
01:09:36Throw down your arms!
01:09:41Throw down your arms, you dilderats!
01:09:44Throw them down!
01:09:55Throw them down!
01:10:02Throw them down!
01:10:04Throw them down!
01:10:14Throw them down!
01:10:16Throw them down!
01:10:30Throw them down!
01:10:42Well, now that you've got a Delta woman, what are you going to do with her?
01:10:46I'll turn you over to the Sheriff.
01:10:48Ten years in parish prison.
01:10:51But if you'll agree to spend the rest of your life in bonded servitude to me and obey all orders...
01:10:58I might learn to like taking orders.
01:11:01What would you have me do?
01:11:03Wash the decks?
01:11:05Polish the brass?
01:11:07Peel the vegetables?
01:11:10Clean your boots?
01:11:25I'm taking you home with me.
01:11:26That's an order.
01:11:28Anything you say, Andre.
01:11:30Anything at all.
01:11:32Unbelievable.
01:11:33Wonderful.
01:11:33Unbelievable.
01:11:34Not a bit like a mother.
01:11:39Bye-bye, Papa.
01:11:41Bye-bye, Lily.
01:11:42Wow!
01:11:48Harvey!
01:11:49You've got ten times to hear,
01:11:53Very beaten.
01:11:54Why?
01:11:55Who is having a judgement?
01:11:56and you've still got a lot of mouldy.
01:11:56And???
