Aliyak?
Aliyak!
Aliyak, my son!
What are you doing here?
It is not yet your time, Aliyak.
Protect what we are given.
Fight for what was taken.
He's dead.
He must have poisoned himself.
Yes, yes. But how did he get the poison?
Murray?
The warden said you took the last shift.
I have no idea, sir.
Someone must have performed an act of grace.
Let's hang him anyway, even if he's dead, so everyone can see...
Whatever my opinion may be worth to you,
I wouldn't parade Sandokan's body around.
Rather, I'd feed it to the beasts in the jungle.
No tomb, no martyr.
This time I agree with Brooke.
I really hope you end up between some tiger's teeth.
Let's get back, or we'll end up being a side dish.
It's a poison, it will make you seem dead.
Your heart will appear to stop beating, but...
you'll actually still be alive.
Trust me.
I don't trust Brooke.
He doesn't do anything for nothing.
He hates the English as much as you do.
It turns out that James has mixed blood.
He lost all status he ever had.
That is why he needs you alive.
So he can get his revenge.
How?
By freeing the slaves and eliminating the Sultan.
What about you?
What do you want?
I want you.
Then come with me.
I must stay in Labuan
to despair over your loss.
I mustn't rise any suspicion.
It's the only way they'll believe you're actually dead.
I will wait for you here.
And once all of this is over...
I'll be at your side.
Forever.
He poisoned himself.
Apparently, somebody performed an act of grace.
Then we have nothing left to say to each other.
There is something I have to say to you.
I never wanted your mother to end up in an...
insane asylum and...
I don't want you to go to one now either.
I don't believe you anymore.
All I'm asking is that you listen to me.
I always loved Angelica.
When I returned from a mission to find
that your aunt had her locked up,
I ran to get her released, but it was too late.
But, you see, if I hadn't been away so often, if I...
I'd been by her side...
It was my fault.
And all I'm asking is that you don't hate me for it, because...
I already do that well enough on my own.
Hatred doesn't suit me.
But I'll never forgive you for Sandokan or his people.
That man would have ruined you.
And as for that tribe...
Progress does require some sacrifices.
You can fool yourself, but not me.
There's a boat waiting for you.
What you promised?
All in those trunks.
Did you really give her up?
Some battles one just can't win.
She's waiting for a message from you, to know you're alive.
"At your side, forever." Tell her that.
All right, let's go, lads.
Please, please, please, please.
Please, don't let him be dead.
Everything went well.
- How is he? - He's alive, heading for Sarawak.
Did he have a message for me?
"At your side, forever." That's what he said.
We made a pact: I saved his life...
- Did you really give him up? - Yes.
But I had to give him hope of seeing me again.
Otherwise, he never would have left.
Now...
you don't need to think about this anymore.
In a few days we'll set sail on the Royalist.
Get far away from here and leave all of this behind.
Good luck.
Follow me, let's have some fun...
Now it's not the time. Leave.
Yanez.
Why the long faces? You already spent the ransom money?
Then you don't know...
What?
Sandokan is dead.
Captured and executed by the English in Labuan.
They tried to keep it a secret,
but the news has already spread across the China Sea.
I shouldn't have left him alone.
But they'll pay for it! They'll pay for it!
Calm down.
What do you want?
Forgiveness.
From a friend who is no longer with us.
You are in the right place.
If that friend can no longer forgive you...
God can.
Do you want to confess?
God has abandoned us.
Let's go!
Last time I wore one, I still believed in God.
Then I learned that his justice doesn't exist on this earth.
So I had to take things...
into my own hands.
And how did that go?
Fire!
I can't accept your cross, Father.
Keep it.
Please.
Great ancestors...
we ask you...
to protect us.
I knew you weren't dead.
How?
Your father told me.
Sandokan?
So then... he's alive?
I'm not a ghost. It's really me.
- Lang said you were dead! - He was wrong.
Hope has returned. We must have faith in the gods...
...and in the spirit of the great Makota, who has sent us his son!
No!
Why did the Sultan let you live?
What did you give him in exchange?
I gave him my blood.
You left me alone to fight.
Then fight on your own against me.
- I don't want to fight. - You're afraid?
Fight! Coward!
You are the one who is afraid.
Lang, no!
If you want to kill me,
do it now, in front of everyone.
Rise.
I have a gift for you.
indistinct chatter]
What is wrong?
There's no turning back now.
Many of them will die.
I love life.
And if I'd never left Labuan, I would've lived a long, safe life.
But I never would have been free.
We are ready.
Father and the son are reunited.
Your moment has arrived, Aliyak.
The Chief Warrior has returned!
My men have returned. The ground is laid.
The revolt will happen soon.
Then why don't we leave right now?
I can't stand this place anymore.
Be patient for just a few days longer...
and you will be my queen.
I'm cold, let's go back.
You still think about him.
You need to forget him. You made a promise.
And I'll keep it.
I want Sandokan's body.
There is no body.
Sandokan is alive.
Do you think Marianne would still be speaking to me otherwise?
I'm the one who helped him escape.
He's probably in the jungle right now with his Dayaks.
What are you doing?
Go back with the others!
Sani!
They captured you too, just like your friend.
They didn't capture me. I came to free you.
And I'm not alone.
What friend are you talking about?
Sani!
How did you end up here?
I wanted to save your brother.
But I was captured...
again.
This means I'll have to save you too.
No. No, I can't even stand, just leave me here.
You still talk too much, let's go! Lang!
Stay here.
We're being attacked!
To arms! Battle-ready!
Send a platoon to the slaves' enclosure. Take the women and children.
When we slit their throats in front of them, they'll stop.
Kill them all!
Move!
They have guns!
It can't be.
Fight! Hold on! We need time!
♪ Sandokan, Sandokan ♪
All clear!
Soldiers!
♪ Sandokan, Sandokan ♪
Fire!
Kill them!
- Ah! - Sani!
Sani!
Are you all right?
Take cover!
I convinced them to rebel.
To pick up arms.
And do you know how it ended?
Show me!
It's all over.
If I'd written this story, it would have a different ending.
We'd win, and love would triumph.
At least one thing can be fixed.
I thought I'd never see you again.
You were right.
A revolution can end well, as long as you have some faith.
They all believed in you.
What about you?
Did you find God again?
We are in some discussions, but in the meantime, I found my brother.
Of course, I'll have to get used
to seeing you with that thing on your head.
♪ Sandokan, Sandokan ♪
Just so I understand,
up until yesterday I was a mongrel, a bastard.
Yet now, you're entrusting me with the command of the Labuan garrison
to repress a revolt.
How much do you want?
Money won't be enough this time.
Of course.
You want my daughter.
Not only.
Get a piece of paper, a pen...
and the official seal of the Consulate.
Depose the Sultan and make me first Raja of Sarawak.
I thought you slept in your uniform.
What happened?
Sandokan's poisoning enraged the Consul.
I took the blame.
Come with me. After this battle is won, I'll need trusted people around.
How would you like to be the right-hand man
of the first white Raja of Sarawak?
Quite a career you've made for yourself.
After everything we've been through, you still don't trust me.
I'll govern these territories sensibly, I'll change things.
But you'll begin your reign with carnage, eh?
I've had enough.
Brooke freed you, gave you weapons.
What did he get out of it?
Revenge against the Sultan and Consul.
What about Marianne?
She's waiting for me in Labuan.
When we are rid of the Sultan, we'll get her.
She won't be there.
Marianne and Brooke...
I saw them together in Labuan.
They were discussing a pact wherein she had to forget you.
What pact?
To save your life...
she gave up her love for you and she'll be leaving with Brooke.
It can't be.
She did it for you.
And for them.
She has more guts than all of us.
And once all of this is over...
I'll be at your side.
Forever.
I'm not giving up on her.
Nor she on me.
She'll wait for me.
Never give up, Marianne.
Always believe in your freedom.
How dare you have the audacity to come in here?
I never would have imagined that your mother would kill herself.
If I could make it right, I would.
You should have thought about that before locking her up in an insane asylum.
She was taking you away.
And I didn't want to lose you.
- You never could stand me. - That's not true.
I lived the best moments of my life with you.
Like the first time you entered this room...
and started jumping on the bed, so happy.
And you said, "Look, auntie, you can see the sea."
It made me believe that, yes...
I could raise you as my own.
The daughter...
I never had.
Angelica was my mother.
And she always will be.
What do you want from me?
Forgiveness?
I just came to say goodbye.
Where are you going?
Back to London. There's no place for me here anymore.
Now that Brooke is back in your father's good graces,
you'll get married.
James and my father have reconciled?
Your father put Brooke in charge of repressing the savages' revolt.
And James accepted?
Why wouldn't he?
I'm sorry, Milady, but you can't leave the villa.
What? Let me through.
Orders from the new garrison commander, Captain Brooke.
What's happening?
My future husband is trying to lock me up so I can't stop him.
If you want forgiveness,
you must help me.
You sent for me?
It seems the pirates joined forces with the rebel tribes.
Naturally, to avenge the death of their leader.
That is, if he actually is dead.
Some of the survivors swear they saw Sandokan leading the rebels,
and that the natives are even armed with rifles.
I wonder from whom they could've gotten those.
The pirates.
Or perhaps progress sometimes needs a little push.
Just like the massacre that made you Consul.
I'm still paying the price.
But you, you have used everyone to get exactly what you want.
Sandokan, the tribes, me. Even Marianne.
And she will never forgive you for that.
After I won, my love for Marianne will carry us both.
I wouldn't be so sure.
Was it to your liking?
Better than our usual rations, Milady, it feels like Christmas.
Hmm. And what Christmas would it be without wine?
Sergeant Murray is waiting for you at the boathouse.
Thank you.
Marianne.
What shall I tell your father?
What you've always told him.
That I'm insane.
I saw him dead with my own eyes!
They swear it was him.
Or his ghost.
Ghosts don't exist.
There are only winners and losers.
Your Majesty, they're coming.
Captain.
They're expecting a speech.
Dayak men.
Free men.
My brothers.
Let's take the Sultan's head!
Is that it?
♪ Sandokan, Sandokan ♪
Quickly, quickly.
Heave ho!
Captain, we're proceeding very slowly.
Men and ammunition are weighing us down.
Should I hoist the foremast sails?
There's no rush. We'll let Sandokan do the dirty work for us.
And if he should be the one to kill the Sultan,
all the more reason to execute him.
Come on, move it.
They're already at the palace, let's hurry.
Milady, the Royalist.
Sandokan won't have time to take the palace
before Brooke massacres them all.
I have to warn him somehow.
It was built on an old Dutch outpost.
They always kept an escape route to the sea.
Let's find it.
Come!
If you resist, the Sultan will shower you all with gold!
You cowards! You have to resist!
Can you manage on your own?
Don't worry, little brother, don't worry.
Where is your master?
Is it worth dying for that thankless bastard?
There's a trapdoor in there.
The ship is waiting for us!
Hurry!
Pick it up!
- Take everything! - Quick, quick!
At your side.
Forever.
Sorry to interrupt.
You don't have much time. Brooke's about to dock.
Brooke?
He betrayed you.
My father appointed him as Raja to replace the Sultan,
and he gave him the entire Labuan garrison to help repress the revolt.
He wants you dead, even if it means a massacre.
So much blood has already been shed.
So Brooke wants the Bruneian throne?
Let him take it.
The palace is deserted.
They took the treasure and disappeared.
What do you mean "disappeared"?
Well, someone must have warned them we were coming.
Now you have your kingdom...
minus its subjects.
Milady sends her regards.
While flattered by your offer...
she'll never be your queen.
They'll return with ships and cannons.
But this time we'll be waiting for them.
Both by land and by sea, where I will be defending you from.
While I fight the English from the sea,
you'll do the same in the forest.
Lang has learned what it means to be a leader.
Protect what we are given!
Fight for what was taken!
What will you do?
I followed Sandokan to rescue you and reunite with our tribe.
I thought I would feel at home...
but now I understand.
- Sani! - Sani!
No, no.
- Sani! - Sani!
Sani!
Don't go.
It isn't fair.
What's more fair than dying next to my brother...
and my sister?
Stay close to me.
There couldn't be a worse ending for our story.
The worst endings
are the ones you forget.
Tell everyone the story of how we came to be free.
Tell the story
of the tiger of Malaya.
Ciao.
Goodbye, kid.
Life never ends.
Our journey merely continues, my friend.
Mine ends here.
I've had my share of adventures.
There are still so many pages left to fill.
There will be no crowning ceremony.
Just announce that the new Raja has abolished slavery.
My son,
now we have a place where we no longer have to hide.
But it is not enough for you.
I'll be at your side.
Forever.
Well, what's our route, Captain?
James and my father will be relentless in hunting us down.
Ideas?
We need an unknown island all to ourselves,
where we can live free.
Like Tortuga, a pirate republic with no masters and no servants.
I know a place that will do the trick.
I heard about it in Singapore
from an old sailor who was once shipwrecked there.
It's an uninhabited paradise.
And best of all,
it isn't marked on any maps.
So, how do we find this place?
That old sailor recorded the position by using the stars.
"Mompracem."
It means "the disappearing island."
Sounds like it was made for us.
It's decided.
Set sail for Mompracem.
You heard! Back to work, men!
Are you sure these coordinates are correct?
With a little luck, we'll be all right.
I think I'd bet on that.
The helm is yours.
