New Fic

(Norrington sees Barbossa at the helm)

Norrington: What is HE doing there?

Will: Would you rather have him there or about to address that ship over there?

Gibbs: Besides, Commodore, he's got some eyes on him.

(Norrington looks back, sees Elizabeth at the edge of the deck preparing to yell across to the ship)

Norrington: Wonderful.

Elizabeth: You there! State your name and purpose for riding so close.

Sao Feng: The Empress, and I am Sao Feng. I believe you are looking for me?

(Our heroes edge closer)

Elizabeth: We are. I trust since we've piqued your curiosity, you'll let us dock and meet you in Singapore then?

(both ships are close to pulling in to a harbor)

Sao Feng: What do the men of the ship say?

Will: We have something you want and you have something we want. I think she's correct in assuming you want to know more.

Sao Feng: (laughs) What do I want with a team of misfits on an English military ship? (has an idea but wants to hear their interpretation to get a better idea of them)

Elizabeth: We want a way into Davy Jones' Locker.

(Norrington's crew that hasn't heard that before gasp and act shocked)

(The ships dock. Everyone starts to gather their belongings and Norrington goes below decks to get Anne. Sao Feng calls to them as he steps off his ship)

Sao Feng: Welcome to Singapore. Now. Let's hear what it is you think I want.

CUT TO...the Locker

(Jack is running from the small pack of giant crabs. He does his little lizard run up a sand dune and loses them. He catches his breath quickly and looks utterly confused.)

Tia: I don't tink dey'd be wantin' a low life like wicked Jack.

(Jack looks at her with an almost murderous glance, but collects himself)

Jack: If you're here for another monkey, I can direct you to two delightful creatures in that direction...

Tia: When you goin' to trow away de act?

Jack: Scuse me?

Tia: Can't even tell old Tia Dalma you terrified.

Jack: I'm not terrified.

Tia: Can't even tell old Tia Dalma you lonely.

Jack: I'll tell you what. Spring me out of here, find me a crew and a nice bottle of rum and I'll moan and groan to ye about how lonely I am for as long as you want.

Tia: What about William?

Jack: I'll take anyone who can sail, frankly. (knows she means something else)

Tia: You know a little of his touch of destiny and yet you are here.

Jack: Not by choice, mind you!

Tia: If you aren't der to protect William Turner, fate will find him.

Jack: What do you mean....?

(but Tia vanishes. She was another hallucination)

Jack (lies down in the dune and rubs his eyes): All right, went from slightly mad to starkraving mad now! I think I can go!

(snaps up. The giant crabs are underneath the Pearl and carrying it around as if they are ants)

Jack: Stop! (chases them again)

Oh, man...I have writers block...

well, drink some Dr. Pepper and unblock it! i want more!! lol

Moving along quite nicely--- I really like this so far! Well done!

I am working on the next part, so if you could all bear with me while I pick it apart, I think I can get the story moving again. Just give me a little time, because I have another fun James/Anne scene, and a bit of Will, Elizabeth and Barbossa in mind, as well as Sao meeting up with all of them. It just needs a bit of fine-tuning, and unfortunately I have to go before I can type it up. 😄 It'll be up soon though, I promise.

Cheers!

I'm not sure to wait on Surreal, or willo...I have to admit I'm a bit lost. And the worse part is that I have writers block.

We're waiting on Surreal. What are you confused about?

Okay, so far, we have written 25 pages according to Microsoft Word. I think it's time for a summary.

Will, Elizabeth, Gibbs, Marty, Pintel, and Ragetti and Mr. Cotton have gone off to search for Sao Feng, the only living man who knows how to get into Davy Jones' Locker to rescue Jack. Meanwhile, we're all having a hell lot of fun torturing poor old Jack. On their way, they are picked up by Norrington's ship. He has decided to help them, however, and puts on an act of capturing them for Beckett to see. They have also picked up Anne, a stowaway who wants revenge on Beckett for her husband's death. Finally, they realize Sao Feng has actually been following them. They tell him they have something he wants (we haven't said what that is yet) and he has something they want- the way to get into the Locker. They dock in Singapore and are ready to negotiate. PS: Will and Liz decided to elope and are presently husband and wife.

Things that need explained/resolved/done:

1. Where is Gov. Swann?
2. What's happening on the Flying Dutchman?
3. What does Tia mean by her conversation with Jack? (NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE REAL TIA. SHE IS A HALLUCINATION MADE FOR JACK TO THINK ABOUT HIS FEARS. FOR SOME REASON HE IS FEARING WILL IS GOING TO REALLY REALLY BE IN A PICKLE)
4. What is it the crew has that Sao Feng would want?
5. How can Anne contribute to the story besides providing some sexual tension for everyone's favorite versatile Commodore?

My head is clear now. I'm waiting for Surreal. I want to post after her.

if no one else minds, can I actually be the one who sends someone into the Locker? I have a really neat idea for it.

I don't mind if you sent me so I can be with Jack 😄

Sorry, kidding!

Sure, willo. I don't mind.

Looking forward to reading the next bits! haha. 🙂 you guys are great.

Ok, I ran out of time again. The post is already five or six pages long, so I should post this soon. 😄 Sorry for the wait.

lopl every time i see ur siggy i laugh kate!

Finally...

-----

--ON DECK OF THE INTREPID –

(Sao is standing on the docks, flanked by his soldiers while the pirates and Naval men stare uneasily at them. Will and Elizabeth are waiting for the others to join them near the gang plank. They are sharing a quiet moment. Will touches Elizabeth’s hair, then her cheek.)

Will: Things will be fine, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth: I hope so. Will…now you know what I’ve done…what will happen when Jack comes back?

Will: What do you mean?

(Elizabeth leans against him. Will wraps his arm around her waist and she rests her head on his shoulder as she gazes out at the sea.)

Elizabeth: You accepted it. The others…I’m afraid, Will.

(She looks up at Will, and he leans down to kiss her lightly on the lips.)

Will: The others adore you, Elizabeth. They won’t hold it against you.

(He grins slightly.)

Will: If he hates you, we’ll just leave him in the locker.

(Elizabeth laughs slightly and pokes him lightly in the ribs.)

Will: No matter what, I will always stand by you, Elizabeth. Always.

Elizabeth: (she smoothes down the collar of Will’s coat and touches his face lovingly.) I love you.

Will: Truly?

Elizabeth: (cups Will’s face in her hands, forces him to look in her eyes.) So much so that I can’t ever imagine what my life would be like without you.

(Pintel and Ragetti walk by them and make kissy sounds. Will and Elizabeth scowl at the pirates, then look at each other and laugh again. Will leans down to kiss her, and Elizabeth tips her head back to give him better access. They are deeply involved in their kiss and don’t hear Barbossa approach them.)

Barbossa: Ahem.

(He waits to be acknowledged, but Will and Elizabeth are too wrapped up in each other to notice.)

Barbossa: Excuse me…

(No response from Will and Elizabeth.)

Barbossa: (loudly) Will you two bloody well STOP IT???

(Will and Elizabeth take their time to part lips and hips, and then look at Barbossa with glazed eyes.)

Will: (dazedly) Yes?

Elizabeth: (rests her head on Will’s chest) Can we help you with something?

Barbossa: Oh no, never you mind about the fact that we’re on a mission.

Elizabeth: (innocently) Mission?

Will: (stage whispers) Jack. We’re getting Jack back.

Elizabeth: (As if she has just remembered) Oh…right. Of course. How silly of me to have forgotten why we're here.

(Barbossa mutters something about young people. The deck is getting more crowded as more people make their way there to prepare to disembark.)

-- BELOW DECKS -- GROVES' CABIN --

(Norrington enters the cabin without knocking, and is pleased at how annoyed Anne seems to be. The cabin is messy, as if Anne had rummaged through everything and tossed it about the room.)

Anne: I see that you are lacking any form of manners, Commodore.

Norrington: (waves hand at the mess) As are you, Mistress Anne. If you continue with this behavior I may have to find you more suitable accomodations.

Anne: Are you threatening to put me in the brig if I do not obey?

Norrington: You will find, Mistress Anne that I do not threaten. However, fortune continues to be with you; you are not going to the brig. You are coming ashore with the landing party.

Anne: I most certainly am not!

James: (tone indicates his impatience) I have already discarded the idea of allowing you to remain on the ship. You are coming with the landing party, where you might yet prove to be of some use to this mission.

Anne: And if I refuse?

James: If you refuse, I will throw you over my shoulder and carry you ashore myself.

Anne: You wouldn't dare!

FIVE MINUTES LATER --- DECK OF THE INTREPID:

(Preparations on the deck of The Intrepid pause as they hear a woman yelling.)

Anne: You bastard! Put me down this instant!

(Norrington stoically ignores her and continues to carry her over his shoulder, as he promised.)

Norrington: Groves, set a watch, and keep on alert. I want us to be prepared to sail in the event that things don't go well. And you know what to do if we are boarded.

Groves: Yes, sir! Hopefully it won't come to that.

Norrington: God willing, no, it won't.

Anne: (listened curiously to this exchange, suddenly remembers her uncomfortable state and begins to struggle.) I bested you once before, Commodore.

Norrington: (smirks) Do you think you could really do such a thing unless I allowed it?

(As Anne sputters angrily, his smirk widens)

Norrington: You best rethink your strategies, milady. Now, shall I continue to carry you like a child, or do you think you can manage on your own?

Anne: Put me down, you oaf!

(Norrington pretends he doesn't hear her, and instead walks over to the gang-plank where Will, Elizabeth and Barbossa are standing and sets Anne down roughly. She loses her balance and ends up landing at their feet.)

Norrington: See to it that she doesn't get lost.
(Norrington walks off to speak with the helmsman and first mate. Elizabeth, Will, and Barbossa stare at James' back before they look at Anne. Will is so surprised that for a moment he forgets to be chivalrous, but then he hastily offers Anne a hand up.)

Anne: Oooh, that man! How do you put up with him?

Elizabeth: (genuinely puzzled) James? I’ve never seen him behave like that before. Ever.

Barbossa: (mutters) Looks like someone’s gotten under his skin.

(Elizabeth looks sharply at Barbossa, then at Anne, who is glaring silently at Norrington. Her eyes follow his every move, and Norrington is constantly glancing suspiciously over at the newcomer. Anne lifts her chin in challenge, and Norrington responds in kind, quirking his eyebrows for good measure.)

Barbossa: (impatiently) Are we about ready?

Norrington: We are.

(His gaze sweeps across the pirates on the docks, and his jaw sets slightly. Gibbs joins the group, and notices Norrington.)

Gibbs: (stares at him.) Commodore, you aren’t coming with us, are ye?

Norrington: (dryly) Unfortunately, I am Mr. Gibbs. My men have things well in hand.

(Barbossa and Gibbs both pause, and Gibbs looks like he would like to argue, but James shakes his head.)

Norrington: A necessary evil, I’m afraid.

(Will and Elizabeth look worried. Anne is intrigued, but like Will and Elizabeth, she does not quite understand the concern of the pirates. Before any of them can ask, however, James motions for them to walk down the gang-plank)

Sao: (sarcastically) How nice of you to join us.

Elizabeth: We are here to negotiate for the knowledge of how to get to Davy Jones’ Locker.

Sao: (laughs) Now why in the world would I want to help you?

(Elizabeth begins to respond, but James cuts her off.)

Norrington: Because I have someone that you’ve been searching for. Someone quite dear to you, I believe.
(The others stare at James, and they suddenly realize that this is why James insisted on going with them.)

Sao: (is startled, then angry) Who are you?

(Norrington draws a breath, then stands up even straighter, every inch the haughty Naval officer.)

Norrington: I am the Scourge of Piracey…and I have your brother.

------

(Sao is shocked.)

Sao: Murderous British dog! If you spill his blood...

Norrington: Nothing would stop me, would it? Another wretched pirate apprehended. The world will praise me and all those who helped me catch him.

Sao: It brings me much shame to consider helping you.

Norrington: Then I'm sure a nice hanging will brighten everyone's spirits.

Sao: I concede to your demands. Why on earth do you wish to go into the Locker? Most can only dream of getting out.

Anne: (to Norrington) Why did no one say it was to get to the Locker? You're all mad!

Barbossa: Rescue mission. Top secret rescue mission.

Sao: Well, I don't believe I can be of any help to the victim you are trying to save...unless, you know if he or she has a Piece of 8?

Elizabeth: The coins of the nine pirate lords? Is that what you demand from us?

Sao: It is what you need.

Will: Is Jack a pirate lord?

Sao: Jack? Jack Sparrow? (laughs) One would not have thought you would be wasting your time on him. Being trapped in the Locker serves him right.

(Will points a gun at him, Elizabeth has drawn her sword. The crew looks ready to fight.)

Sao: Needless to say, you are passionate about your mission. You must simply rub two Pieces of 8 together to take you in and out of the Locker. Pirate lords hardly ever see one another, so two coins touching is a rare occurrence.

Elizabeth: Barbossa, you have one. I've seen it.

Barbossa: Bloody impossible wench. (smacks coin into her hand) I'll cut your throat if you don't bring it back once you're done.

Sao: Now, now. I believe I should ensure myself...and my brother's welfare (glares at Norrington) Let's see. You (stops at Will) You will go alone. Have your woman give you the coin.

Elizabeth: He can't go alone.

Anne: You're sending him to his death!

Sao: If you want my coin, he will go alone AND the rest of you will stay with me.

Norrington: What?

Sao: Fair bargain is it not? We have use for strong men of pirate ships (eyes Elizabeth and Anne) and for beautiful women who know their way around the sea. As for the Commodore, I think we can find a pirate or two willing to take on their revenge. They will all serve me until you come back. The Locker is vast, boy. It may take you a long while.

Ragetti: We're not as strong as all that.

Marty: Do you accept parley?

Mr Cotton's parrot: White flag of surrender! White flag of surrender!

Will: Enough! I'll go. (Elizabeth gives him the coin. She shakes her head at him)

Anne: The hell you will. I've wasted enough time already. You're going to just let everyone be trapped here until the off-chance you come back?

Elizabeth: Negotiate. Let me go with you. You can't go in there alone.

Gibbs: There be no sense fighting it, lass.

Will: I won't be alone. Jack's in there. (takes Sao's coin. Rubs the Heads sides together. In a flash he is gone)

CUT TO...The Locker
(Will lands face first onto the vast, sandy wasteland. He stands, brushes himself off, and looks around.)

Will: Jack! Jack Sparrow!

(marches along)

Will: Jack! (to himself) Anybody?

(sees two little crabs scurry by. He looks out in the distance and sees larger ones scuttle past. He keeps one hand on his sword. He walks along and sees the silhouette of the Pearl. He grins and runs toward it.)

Will: Jack!

(Jack is sitting underneath the maidenhead, his back against the ship. He does not look surprised to see Will.)

Will: Jack, it's Will. You remember me, don't you?

(Jack stands and gives him an inspecting look. He pokes him hard in the shoulder)

Will: It's me. (sees two crabs close by) This wasn't what I expected.

Jack: Have you met Clive and Roland? (nods to the crabs) Hard workers they are.

Will: Are you all right? I thought you would be glad to see me.

Jack: Everyone else came to see me. You might as well be the next. (pokes him again)

Will: What are you talking about?

Jack: You're the most boring one yet. (sits back down)

Will: Stand up! We have to get out of here.

Jack: What's this we business? I'm not interested in going up in a puff of smoke like you will.

(Will gets it)

Will: How can I prove to you it's really me?

(Jack stands again and pokes him)

Will: Why do you keep doing that?

Jack: I like it. If you can prove you're flesh and blood...

Will: I know! Ask me a question. One you don't know the answer to. If I know it, you'll know you couldn't have thought it up. (makes a face on how Jack-like his logic was there) Jack, I've been looking for you for a long time. Please humor me and do this.

Jack (thinks for a second, look of madness is fading): Where's Elizabeth?

Will (trying not to make much of that): She's in Singapore with your crew, held hostage by Sao Feng until I bring you back. Couldn't have imagined that, could you?

(A look of realization comes over Jack. Will is real. He edges very close to him)

Jack (intensely): Get me out of here.

Will: Take out your Piece of 8.

Jack: Whatever for? (almost back to his old self)

Will: Well, according to Sao Feng, two need to be joined together to get in and out of the Locker.

Jack: Won't do, mate. The Pearl.

Will: We can come back and we'll find a way to get it later.

Jack: Not me. I'm not coming back here.

Will: (losing his temper) Fine! I'll come back here and retrieve your bloody ship...(stops. Sees the crabs trying to pick up the Pearl.)

Jack: That Roland. He's a weakling. Eunuch crab.

Will: Never mind. You want to get out of here. Pull out your coin. (Jack takes it out) The heads go together. That's how I got here.

Jack: Don't tell me Sao Feng was stupid enough to give you his Piece of 8.

Will: No. (pause) Barbossa was.

(Jack is about to speak but the coins do nothing)

Jack: How useful. Now. Why don't you go back and send someone who knows what they're doing and knows for a fact who is alive and who is dead?

Will: They're supposed to work! (sees crabs get out from under the
Pearl) Maybe we have to say something.

Jack: (waves arms) Abracadabra! (nothing) Bugger.

Will: Back to Singapore! Alakazam! (nothing. Looks over to the Pearl) The ship. Get on the ship.

(they hurry on board and put their coins together)

CUT TO....Singapore harbor

(Will and Jack plop to the deck of the Pearl, safely docked on the pier)

(Jack leans over the railing. He looks at the ocean almost as if it were a woman. He runs off the ship and steps onto the pier. He lets his hands briefly glide in the water. Will hurries to catch up to him. He collects himself)

Jack: Stop wasting time. What all were you saying before?

Will: You have a crew waiting for you. (Jack looks a little touched) Sao Feng has them until I get you back.

Cut to.... Sao's house/palace thingy.

Sao and his newly recovered brother are presiding at the head of a very loud, raucous dinner party. Elizabeth, Anne, and the others are serving the food and wine, which is proving to be a real challenge considering the drunken state of the guests. Elizabeth looks extremely anxious. Norrington looks exhausted. Anne looks disgusted. Gibbs is the only one who seems to be having a good time, since he's been invited to the table and is sharing an exciting story with a crowd of beautiful Asian women.

Gibbs: So there we were, on the very edge of the world, with nothing to our name but a quill pen and me old mother's prayer book...

The Asian girls gasp with excitement.
Elizabeth makes her way over to Sao, filling his glass. Sao's brother grabs her waist and pulls her down onto his lap, with clear intentions. Elizabeth's temper flairs up (surprise surprise) and next thing you know, she's got him on the floor, straddling him with a napkin around his throat, ready to snap his neck and kill him.
The dinner party has gone quiet, as everyone stares at the scene in shock.

Anne: (muttering) you stole my trick.

Norrington: This could get bad...

Sao: Be careful there, missy. I wouldn't want you to do anything your friends would regret.

Elizabeth: (breathing harshly) Listen to me, Sao Feng. Pirate Lord or not, you have a responsibility to the protection of us until our bargain is complete. I am a governor's daughter and one of the most feared pirates in the Caribbean. I refuse to be treated this way.

Sao: (standing) My brother meant you no harm. In my land, it is customary for a woman to show her host appreciation by making friendly with the guests.

Elizabeth drops the napkin and stands up, facing off with Sao while his brother gasps on the floor. We get a brief shot of Elizabeth's hand sliding into her tunic, and pulling out a dagger.

Elizabeth: In my land, it is customary for a woman's honor to be respected.

Sao lifts a hand to brush Elizabeth's face and hair, obviously taken with her.

Sao: Your honor is safe in my hands, milady.

Elizabeth: I've known your type before, and I'd sooner trust a wild dog.

Sao: Harsh words! But then, you have been in the company of Jack Sparrow... no doubt your honor was handled carelessly by him at one time or another, the blaggard.

He's hit a nerve- Elizabeth's temper snaps and she attacks Sao with her dagger. Sao is quick to respond, whipping out his own sword while Norrington jumps into the mix, sliding his sword into Elizabeth's hand so they're evenly matched.
Barbossa rolls his eyes and looks annoyed, but turns around the room, spotting the guards. Casually, he jams a thumb into both of their windpipes, knocking them out while he grabs their swords and pushes through the guests to join the fight. It's just Anne, Barbossa, Elizabeth, Norrington and Gibbs against 50-odd trained fighters. It's not looking good.

Barbossa: Couldn't you have just grit your teeth and held your temper, wench? Now look what you've done.

Elizabeth: (as she battles Sao) Jack Sparrow never mishandled my honor! He was a good man, not to mention a far better pirate than you!

Jack: Oy! Hear that Barbossa? I'm a better pirate than you!

The group turns in shock, the where Will and Jack, swords out, have entered the room. The dive into the fray.

Will: (shouting across the fight) Elizabeth! You're safe!

Elizabeth: (as she dodges a blow from Sao) For now! (takes out a pair of fighters by the trip and stab method) Jack! You're alive!

Jack: (as he gives one of the fighters an interesting haircut before dispatching him) I am indeed, thanks to dear William. Did you miss me, darling?

Barbossa: (while shoving Elizabeth out of the way so he can fight Sao himself) She missed you so much, she got married while you were away.

Jack: (a brief look of pain/shock flitting by his face, quickly replaced by his dangerous grin) Well, that's to be expected then. She was SO READY to get married, and all. Lizzie, was it as good as you'd hoped?

Will: (probably the one doing the most actual fighting) Ten times better than she'd hoped, Sparrow, and she was everything I'd ever dreamed of and more. But then, you won't ever know what that's like.

Jack: I've had a taste or two.

Elizabeth: (shoving Barbossa back out of the way and re-attacking Sao) Can we argue about this later?

The group had managed to cut their way to the door, which Barbossa wastes no time in breaking down.

Sao: You could have just used the handle!

Barbossa: Sorry, mate. Old habits and all.

Sao and his men redouble their efforts, but they are still too drunk to match the heroes, who finally turn and run out the door. Will stays to hold them off as the rest run towards the docks.

Just as they round the corner, however, they are suddenly met by Cutler Beckett himself, standing in front of several hundred EITC men...

Dun dun dun!

"Jack: (a brief look of pain/shock flitting by his face, quickly replaced by his dangerous grin) Well, that's to be expected then. She was SO READY to get married, and all. Lizzie, was it as good as you'd hoped?"---Kate

Holy Cow, Kate! That was a great reaction line there. Done torturing Jack and moved on to Liz, have we? hee hee

EEK! someone continue you guys are killing me here. I agree willo that reaction line is awesome. Go Kate!

Beckett: Greetings again, Commodore. I see we've taken a little side trip. (sees Jack. The coolness disappears. He tries to play it cool) I had it on very good authority you were dead.

Jack: You forgot very important thing, mate. (pause) I'm Captain Jack Sparrow!

Beckett: Be that as it may, your small band might have done well against a pack of vicious pirates, but had you come to where you were supposed to be taken (look at Norrington. Norrington looks back unphased) you would have seen this.

Voice: Let go! (the crew peers into the group of soldiers. Gov. Swann is being led to the front in chains)

Elizabeth: Father!

Beckett: You were scheduled to hang, Miss Swann, along with Mr. Turner over there.

Elizabeth: Mrs. Turner now.

Beckett: (smiles at her) Fate intervened again then, didn't it?

(Elizabeth says nothing)

Swann: Leave her alone, Beckett! She's done nothing wrong.

Beckett: Nothing wrong?

Swann: Only escaped from a bloodsucking tyrant.

Beckett: Round them up, men. There's a stench in the air in this place.

Jack: That it? (Beckett turns to face him) Round them up? As if you could. Don't you see where we are?

Beckett: What are you talking about?

Jack: The great pirate Sao Feng's house, his home you've managed to invade. You can't be talking about our 'small band' when there are dozens upon dozens of young chaps behind us who would love to get their hands on the East India Trading Company.

Beckett: You wish to make a bargain? (likes where this is going) I have you, two fugitives, a traitor, a nasty widow, and God knows what else. Perhaps you would all like to sign some kind of contract?

Barbossa: (touches his sword) Let me get out me stabbin' pen then. (soldiers move closer. Barbossa reconsiders)

Jack: What the hell are you doing here?

Barbossa: Came to clean up your mess you got in with these two (nods to Will and Elizabeth)

(Jack gives him weird look)

Beckett: What do you have to offer, Jack?

Jack: Well, there is me own self of course, and the brave, daring soul over there (points to Will)

Will: Jack.

Beckett: (laughs) You want me to only take the two of you.

Jack: Why take the rest? They're surrounded by pirates. If I were you, I'd just shoot the old man now.

Barbossa: He's come back madder 'en ever!

Beckett: Something tells me you'll tell me exactly what to do with all of them. What of the governor? How does he fit into your plan?

Will: Leave him here. Pirates all around. You can't expect some of us to last long.

Beckett: Very well. Release Governor Swann. (Elizabeth runs to him and he catches her in his arms) Put the boy in shackles. With me, Sparrow.

Jack: Come on, Beckett. He's a married man now. He's already shackled.

Beckett (not going for it): You'll return with us, decide what's to be done with your crew and until then Will Turner is my prisoner as he always has been.

Elizabeth: You won't leave us here! (breaks from her father to reach Will but he's being dragged away)

Beckett: Move out, men. We have a long trip back.

Elizabeth: Jack!

(Jack doesn't answer her.)
