00:00In 1846, a pirate ship follows a merchant vessel until it's close enough for the pirates
00:05to attack. A man rushes to ring the bell to alert his crew and the pirates shoot him down.
00:09After hearing the bell, Captain Bodden gets his gun and orders his men to burn the logbook.
00:13Half of the pirates stay on deck to fight the men they find there, shooting them or
00:17throwing them into the water. The other half goes downstairs to find the rest of the crew,
00:21and Bodden doesn't hesitate to fight back, killing some men in return.
00:25Unfortunately two pirates manage to capture him and a third one knocks him out.
00:28When Bodden wakes up, he discovers that the pirates have captured his ship and what remains
00:32of his crew. Pirate Captain Connor asks Bodden how he acquired a gold bar with his mark.
00:36Bodden doesn't answer, but the pirates find notes that indicate the merchant ship came from Cayman Brack.
00:41Six days later on Cayman Brack, Ursel is worried because her husband Bodden hasn't come back.
00:46She looks at the sea using a spyglass but finds nothing. Meanwhile Bodden's sister Elizabeth is
00:51visited by her secret boyfriend Weston. He wants to run away together but Elizabeth isn't convinced.
00:55When Ursel comes home and opens the gate, she activates an alarm system. The rope makes some
01:00bottles shake, letting Elizabeth know that someone is coming and waking up Ursel's disabled son Isaac.
01:05Ursel sees some smoke and rushes to the kitchen to find two pots catching on fire. After taking care
01:10of them, Ursel checks on Isaac and helps him put on his leg braces. Isaac asks her if she's seen
01:15any
01:15ships and adds another mark to his count, which means he hasn't heard from his father in 59 days.
01:19Then Ursel goes to Elizabeth's room, so Weston runs to hide under the floor.
01:23Ursel scolds Elizabeth for ignoring the pots and putting ideas in Isaac's mind,
01:27but Elizabeth only complains about being stuck on this pathetic island.
01:31Afterward Ursel gathers some coconuts and makes a cake for Isaac's birthday.
01:34She also tells her son that Bodden left him a present in case he was late for the party.
01:38It's a beautiful knife, and a flashback shows that Ursel used it to free herself and her people from
01:43some bad guys. On the shore, Weston is trying to make a deal with some creepy men. Moments later,
01:48Elizabeth leaves a goodbye letter on Isaac's night table and leaves the house.
01:51The bottles shake again and awaken Ursel, who immediately goes to Elizabeth's room and finds
01:56it empty. When she looks out the window, she sees a creepy man walking around the house.
02:00As the bottles shake again and whispers are heard outside, Ursel rushes to lock the front door and
02:05pick up Isaac, telling him to put on his leg braces. She then opens a hatch on the floor and
02:09takes out a
02:09gun before hiding her son. The men pound on the doors and walls while calling Ursel by name.
02:14Suddenly a hole opens in the ceiling, and two men burst into the room from above. Ursel manages to knock
02:19the first one down with a shot, but another one knocks her down from behind. The guy starts
02:23kicking her so Ursel defends herself, causing the other man to try to choke her. She bites his hand
02:28to push him off and tries to crawl away, but the guys follow her and keep hitting her until she
02:32surrenders, so they pick her up and hit her head on the table. Then Scout enters the house and asks
02:36Ursel for money, so she tells him to look behind the portrait. Scout does so, however he gets angry
02:41when he only finds a can with a few coins. He throws the can at the wall and asks for
02:45gold,
02:45but Ursel swears this is all she has. When the henchmen get distracted by picking up the coins,
02:50Ursel breaks a lamp and slashes a guy's face before running away. Unfortunately the other man
02:55captures her again, so she spits in his face. He furiously throws her on the floor and she whispers
03:00to Isaac that she's fine before they drag her back. Scout shows her a gold bar with a particular mark
03:05and asks where the rest is, but she refuses to answer. Before leaving, Scout tells his men to break
03:10her bones. Meanwhile Connor arrives on the island and the local custodian immediately asks him to
03:14introduce himself. Connor buys time by sharing vague philosophy while his pirates approach the
03:19island on their boats. Nearby, Elizabeth looks for Weston and screams when she finds him dead on the
03:23sand. When Pastor Bradley sees the pirates coming, he makes the harbormaster blow a shell as a warning,
03:29and all the locals run to hide in the church. Connor asks where he can find Ursel, but the custodian
03:33refuses to answer and tells his men to get ready to fight. The pirates open fire first, killing the guy
03:38in
03:38charge of the island's cannon. Connor headbutts the custodian to knock him down. Back in the house,
03:43the henchmen put a noose around Ursel's neck and hang her from the ceiling, so she puts her
03:47fingers between her neck and the rope to stop it from choking her. At that moment Isaac speaks and
03:51the men finally see him under the floor. Desperate to save her son, Ursel drops her act and reveals
03:56she can speak the same language as them before moving fast to bring down the rope, knocking down
04:00one of the guys in the process. Then Ursel fights both men at the same time, showing amazing battle skills
04:06and using any object she can reach as a weapon. When she has an opening, she runs to get her
04:10knife.
04:10The henchman starts pulling the rope to drag her back, so she cuts it to free herself. The fight
04:15continues as Ursel uses her knife to stop the enemy's blade. When one of the men tries to get
04:19Isaac, Ursel kicks the table at him and breaks a chair on the other guy's head. Then she stands on
04:24top of the hatch to protect it. A man comes closer so she stabs him a couple of times before
04:28her other
04:28opponent smashes her against the wall. Ursel grabs her spyglass to stab him and slashes him a few times
04:33with her knife. The second man comes after her so Ursel slashes up his leg before stabbing him in the
04:38head.
04:38The henchman is angry to see his brother die so he tackles Ursel through the window.
04:42She tries to crawl away but the guy hits her with a spyglass. Ursel uses a shell to bring him
04:47down
04:47and furiously begins beating him up as she asks for her husband. The man dies before he can answer,
04:52and everything is seen by Isaac from his hiding spot. On the beach, many local men come after Connor,
04:57but he's an excellent warrior and kills them one by one using his sword or his gun. Multiple people on
05:02the pier open fire so Connor hides behind a building and makes sure to shoot the new guy in charge
05:06of the cannon. Then he sneaks around the huts and fights the men hand to hand. When another man
05:10tries to reach the cannon, the pirates on the boat shoot him first. Connor keeps killing men all over
05:15the beach while the custodian rushes to the cannon. He manages to light the fuse, but unfortunately Connor
05:20arrives just in time to put it out. At that moment Elizabeth comes looking for help, but she sees the
05:25pirates reaching the shore and quickly hides inside a hut. When a man fires from the shadows, the pirates
05:29immediately shoot back and cause him to run away. The custodian warns them that the Royal Navy patrols
05:34these waters, so they'll be here soon. Connor wants to know where the distress signal is and
05:38threatens to shoot the church if he doesn't get an answer, so the custodian tells him it's atop the
05:42bluff on the far end of the island. Connor tells the people in the church that as long as they
05:46stay
05:46inside, they won't get in trouble. Then he fires the cannon at the custodian to kill him. At that
05:51moment Scott arrives and tells Connor that they've captured Ursel. In the house, Ursel brings Isaac out
05:56and he finds the gold bar on the floor. While they pack, they hear the bottles shaking so Ursel points
06:01her gun
06:01at the window, but it's just Bradley. Ursel then washes and changes while Bradley tells her
06:05what happened on the beach. On Ursel's back, there's a mark like the one on the gold. Bradley
06:10explains that the pirates are looking for her and she's the only one who can stop them, calling her
06:14captain. At first Ursel doesn't want to fight, but Isaac finds Elizabeth's letter and they learn she
06:18tried to run away with Weston. After taking the knife back from the body, Ursel gives it to Isaac and
06:23hands Bradley her gun. She tells them to wait under the marked tree while she goes to save Elizabeth.
06:27Meanwhile Elizabeth is running through an open field and she can hear the pirates running nearby.
06:32Ursel carefully sneaks around and avoids the men by hiding at the right moment. Then she approaches
06:36Elizabeth from behind and drags her into the tall grass with her mouth covered. They reunite with a hug
06:41and Ursel tries to scold her, but Elizabeth earns her pity when she tells her that Weston is dead. The
06:46pirates find Ursel's house and start looking for the gold. They only find the men's bodies under the
06:50floor. While Quartermaster Lee sends men out to search the area, Connor looks at all the details in the
06:55house. After studying the toys, the ropes, and the marks on the ground, he concludes that Ursel has
07:00a disabled son. In the woods, Isaac's wheelchair gets stuck in a creek so he has to continue on foot.
07:05Thankfully the marked tree is close. Suddenly they hear a noise and Bradley pulls out his gun,
07:09but it's Elizabeth and Ursel. The four of them leave together so by the time the pirates reach
07:14that spot, they only find the wheelchair. A few miles from there, Ursel pulls out a small boat that
07:18she'd hidden under a tree and makes Elizabeth and Isaac get on it first. Elizabeth pulls the rope and they
07:23quickly make it to the other side of the creek. Ursel immediately follows them, but when it's
07:27Bradley's turn they see the pirates getting closer. Bradley decides to stay as a distraction so the
07:31family leaves without him. The pirates surround him and Connor immediately recognizes him as
07:36Blackheart Bradley. Ursel tells her family to keep going while she climbs a tree to watch the men with
07:40her spyglass. Bradley spits in protest and refuses to talk, so Connor shoots him. Then the pirates see
07:46Ursel in the tree and open fire, causing her to fall. When a man is about to kill her,
07:50Bradley shoots him first. Connor kills Bradley with another shot while Ursel runs away. When the
07:55pirates get in the water to cross the creek, an alligator suddenly attacks them and everyone
07:59panics. Half of the group runs to reach the other side but the alligator still manages to kill a few
08:03of them, even grabbing those who are trying to climb out. As the pirates come closer, Elizabeth and
08:08Isaac hide under a tree. Ursel steps on a branch to get the men's attention and runs to make them
08:13follow
08:13her. She attacks a guy by surprise and steals his gun before she runs to hide again. When two pirates
08:18find
08:18her, she starts fighting them with both the gun and a blade. A third man finds the youngsters
08:23under the tree and Ursel hears Elizabeth scream. She furiously fights both opponents, killing one
08:27by striking his head with her blade and the other one by kicking his head against a log.
08:31Isaac comes out ready to fight with the knife, but Ursel jumps on the pirate first and kills him.
08:36In the creek, the alligator tries to come out so Connor shoots it in the face to scare it off.
08:40Then he talks very loudly so the family can hear him. He calls Ursel Bloody Mary and threatens to
08:45reveal her past if she doesn't cooperate. Ursel's answer is to throw a pirate's head across
08:49the creek. Connor then offers a deal, he wants his gold in exchange for Baden, who is alive on a
08:54ship.
08:54He'll wait for Ursel in her house at dusk. Ursel yells out to take the deal. Afterward Ursel guides
08:59her family to a hidden cave, where she pulls some ropes to reveal a hideout in the ground.
09:03Elizabeth demands an explanation, so Ursel tells her that Connor used to be a colonizer for the East
09:08India Trading Company. When Ursel was a child, Connor and his crew attacked the ship she was traveling on.
09:13They killed her parents and kidnapped her, even giving her a tattoo to mark her as theirs.
09:17Since women are usually abused on pirate ships, Ursel became a pirate as well to survive.
09:22She was so good at killing people that they nicknamed her Bloody Mary. Baden always knew
09:26about her past, and he's the reason why she could start over. Ursel brings out a box with all the
09:30gold she stole from Connor before checking on her collection of weapons, determined to fight.
09:35Meanwhile the pirates bring Baden to the house and show him the bloodstains on the ground,
09:38making him think his family is hurt. Lee asks Connor if he truly wants the gold or if he's
09:42just here for revenge, since he doesn't want to lose more men over it. Connor says killing Ursel
09:47will equal freedom. In the cave, Isaac unknowingly grabs a grenade and Ursel snaps, so she sends the
09:52youngsters to wait outside. Then she takes out her old armor from a chest and arms herself with a wide
09:57variety of weapons. Before leaving, she reveals she also has a boat, so she tells Isaac and Elizabeth
10:02to get the sails ready to escape. After she leaves, Elizabeth finds her bounty poster. In the evening,
10:07the pirates are harassing Baden, but Connor interrupts them to taunt him with stories.
10:11He claims that he and Ursel were partners as both captains and lovers, but Baden doesn't believe him.
10:16At that moment Ursel climbs out of a well and prepares a grenade trap. Then she kills a guard
10:21with her sword before running to grab a rope from behind the house. She throws it over the roof to
10:25capture a guard and pulls, leaving him hanging to death. Next, she slides under the house and quickly
10:30brings down another pirate. Using the hatch, Ursel sneaks inside the house and kills another man from
10:35behind. Then she puts a boiling pot on the floor to fill the house with smoke. After killing
10:39one more guard, she enters the bedroom and finally finds Baden. He apologizes for taking some gold and
10:44explains he was trying to hire a doctor who could help Isaac. He also asks if Connor's story is true,
10:49so Ursel admits it was but she only did it to survive. The guards at the entrance whistle their
10:53code but don't get a reply. They realize Ursel must be around killing men so they start looking for her.
10:59Ursel hears them coming but she can't unlock the chain holding Baden, so she hides a knife in his
11:03clothes and promises to save him during the trade. They share words of love and a kiss before
11:07Ursel escapes through the window. Outside, the pirates surround Ursel but when they try to come
11:11closer, she activates a grenade to blow up a man. Connor comes out and agrees to do the exchange,
11:16so Ursel pulls out the box of gold from the well. While Baden is unchained,
11:20Connor reminds Ursel that he found her on a slave ship and saved her from a future as a naughty
11:24worker.
11:25Suddenly Baden turns around and starts fighting Connor. The other pirates try to get the gold,
11:29so Ursel keeps them at bay by activating more grenades or simply shooting them. A hidden sniper
11:34keeps trying to shoot Baden, who dodges every shot and picks up a sword to continue the fight.
11:38Connor throws sand at his face to distract him but as they move, they're accidentally knocked down
11:42by a grenade. In the chaos, Lee manages to reach Ursel and cuts her rope so she can't activate the
11:47trap
11:48anymore. While they also start to fight, Connor tries to stab Baden, who stops the sword with his
11:52bare hand. Ursel easily overpowers Lee, however she sees Connor bring Baden down so she yields.
11:57Connor threatens to kill Baden anyway so Ursel tries to save him, but Lee shoots her leg to make
12:02her fall. Baden gets stabbed in the chest and Ursel talks to him to keep him awake, but he dies
12:07anyway. A furious Ursel then retrieves her sword, however Connor immediately disarms her. Ursel wonders
12:13why he couldn't just take the gold, so Connor explains that the gold is for his crew and he's
12:17here for her bounty. Then Ursel grabs a torch and lights the rope tied to the gold chest. Connor quickly
12:22steps away and Ursel falls into the well right before the bomb hidden under the gold explodes. The well
12:26crumbles but Ursel hides in a secret passage. In the cave, Elizabeth is reading an old logbook.
12:31It turns out Baden used to be a dock hand and he met Ursel when she arrived on the island
12:35after
12:35escaping from Connor with the gold. Ursel is a fake name, but Elizabeth doesn't understand the symbols
12:40that spell the real one. When Ursel returns to the cave, she instantly collapses. At the house, Lee is
12:46furious because one of the dead pirates was his son and the gold blew up, blaming it all on Connor's
12:50obsession with Ursel. He announces that this mission is over and tries to leave, telling the
12:54crew to follow him. Connor calls out his mutiny and kills him with two shots. Then he shows the other
12:59pirates a decree from three empires, which offers a lifetime pardon for the person who captures Ursel.
13:04Connor gives a speech about freedom and everyone gets excited to help him with the mission.
13:08While they burn down the house, Scout finds the hidden passage in the well. Back to Ursel, she drinks
13:13alcohol to deal with the pain while Elizabeth takes care of her wounds. Ursel then gives them the bad news
13:18about Baden before closing her wounds with candle wax. Elizabeth asks if the terrible stories
13:22from the logbook are true and Ursel confirms she's a terrible person. However, Elizabeth assures her
13:27she's changed and convinces her to keep fighting. The youngsters volunteer to help, so together they
13:32set up a bunch of traps. When they're done, Ursel hides her family in the boat room. Soon the pirates
13:37enter the cave and see a hatch on the ground. They turn a winch hoping to open it, but this
13:41triggers a
13:41gun that kills a man. After opening the hatch by hand, they find Ursel hiding nearby and open fire,
13:46starting a gunfight. Meanwhile half of the group moves ahead and finds the door,
13:50so Elizabeth lights up some explosives to keep the intruders out. Ursel has plenty of weapons ready
13:55to fire, so she keeps killing pirates one by one while they take too long to reload. She also shoots
14:00a lamp, which sets a man on fire as it falls. Connor starts to shoot several rounds in a row,
14:05forcing Ursel to hide. After the explosions are over, Elizabeth checks the door and Scout reaches through
14:10a hole to grab her neck. When she looks at him, she discovers he's wearing Weston's necklace.
14:14Isaac stabs Scout's arm and manages to make him drop his ant. After Elizabeth sends Isaac to
14:19the boat, Scout appears behind her and notices that she has a matching necklace. When he knocks
14:24her down, Elizabeth pulls a rope to activate a crossbow that shoots an arrow at Scout,
14:28nailing him to the wall. Elizabeth takes Weston's necklace before leaving. In the tunnels,
14:32the pirates keep looking for Ursel, who carefully sneaks around and kills them one by one in the
14:37darkness. Sometimes she even makes them shoot each other. Connor follows the noise and in the chaos,
14:41he shoots one of his own men. Since Connor is the only one left, Ursel runs to hide behind a
14:46rock.
14:47Connor tells her he wants one last duel and leaves the cave. On the shore, Isaac and Elizabeth get the
14:52boat ready. When they look up, they're surprised to see that the signal has been lit. It turns out
14:56Connor did it because he wants to hand Ursel to the navy. When Ursel also comes out of the cave,
15:01they start fighting with their blades. They exchange a few blows and Ursel is almost pushed off the edge,
15:06but she recovers and keeps fighting. They slash each other a few more times before Ursel stabs Connor in the
15:11chest, only for him to headbutt her and stab her leg. Then he punches her and asks her to yield,
15:15since he needs her alive to get the bounty. Ursel refuses and gets thrown down, so she takes the
15:20chance to throw sand at Connor's eyes. Next she dodges his attack, causing him to stab the fire
15:25instead. Connor throws some flaming wood at Ursel, who uses those logs as weapons. Sadly Connor overpowers
15:31her again and asks her to yield, however Ursel tells him to end her instead. When Connor is about to
15:35kill her, Elizabeth appears behind him and opens fire. Ursel uses the distraction to attack
15:40again and stabs Connor, finally killing him. Elizabeth rushes to help Ursel, who tells her
15:45that her real name is Mariam. On the boat, Isaac finds some hidden gold bars. The people in the
15:49church finally come out when they see the navy approaching in the distance.
