               [view looking straight down at rolling swells, sound of wind 
               and thunder, then a low heartbeat]
 



               PORT ROYAL

               [teacups on a table in the rain]

               [sheet music on music stands in the rain]

               [bouquet of white orchids, Elizabeth sitting in the rain holding 
               the bouquet]
 
               [men rowing, men on horseback, to the sound of thunder]

               [EITC logo on flag blowing in the wind]

               [many rowboats are entering the harbor]

               [Elizabeth sitting alone, at a distance]

               [marines running, kick a door in] 

               [a mule is seen on the left in the barn where the marines enter]
 
               
               [Liz looking over her shoulder]

               [Elizabeth drops her bouquet]

               [Will is in manacles, being escorted by red coats]

                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                          Will...!

               [Elizabeth runs to Will]

                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         Why is this happening? 

                                     WILL TURNER
                         I don't know. You look beautiful.

                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         I think it's bad luck for the groom 
                         to see the bride before the wedding.
 
                         
               [marines cross their long axes to bar Governor from entering]
 
               
               [Beckett, in white hair and curls, is standing with Mercer]
 
               
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         Governor Weatherby Swann, it's been 
                         too long.
 
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         His Lord now... actually.

                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         In fact, I *do*. Mister Mercer! The 
                         warrant for the arrest of one William 
                         Turner.
 
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         Oh, is it? That's annoying. My mistake. 
                         Arrest her.
 
                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         On what charges?

                                     WILL TURNER
                         No!

               [Beckett takes another document from Mercer, who is standing 
               with Beckett, craggy face and pony tail]
 
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         Ah-ha! Here's the one for William Turner. 
                         And I have another one for a Mister 
                         James Norrington. Is he present?
 
                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         *What are the charges?*

                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         I don't believe that's the answer to 
                         the question I asked.
 
                                     WILL TURNER
                         Lord Beckett! In the category of questions 
                         *not* answered...
 
                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         We are under the jurisdiction of the 
                         King's governor of Port Royal, and you 
                         will tell us what we are charged with. 
                         
 
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         For which the punishment, regrettably, 
                         is *also* death. Perhaps you remember 
                         a certain pirate named Jack Sparrow.
 
                         
                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         *Captain* Jack Sparrow.

                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         Captain Jack Sparrow. Yes, I thought 
                         you might.
 

               BLACK PEARL

               [views of rigging ropes and blocks aboard a ship at night] 
 
               
               [Gibbs walks the deck alone at night, singing and drinking from 
               a bottle]
 
                                     GIBBS
                          Fifteen men on a dead man's chest. 
                         Yo ho ho, and a *bottle* of rum. Drink 
                         and the devil had done for the rest. 
                         Yo ho ho, and a *bottle* of rum. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! 
                         
 
               [a bell tolls, Gibbs is interrupted from his drinking by the 
               sound]
 
               [Gibbs looks up to see a flock of crows flying in the foggy night 
               sky]
 

               TURKISH PRISON

               [tolling of bells, camera pans to show the crows flying toward 
               a coastal island] 
 
               [pinnacle-like island off the coast at night, connected to the 
               mainland by thin, lighted bridge]
 
               [cages with men inside line the bridge]

               [prisoners are being marched across the bridge]

               [a male prisoner with bloody legs is muttering, and is dragged 
               across the bridge by guards]
 
               [a crow is seen reflected in the eye of one male prisoner in 
               a cage, the crow attacks and pecks his eye out, he screams]
 
               
               [the prisoner who was being dragged is taken down a hatch-like 
               door in the ground, he also screams]
 
               [rocky shoreline, lit with torches]

               [men toss caskets into the sea]

               [numerous caskets are floating out to sea, vertical streaks in 
               the distant clouds are seen]
 
               [a crow lands on one casket, begins pecking at the top] 

               [sudden gunblast from inside the casket blows the crow away, 
               along with much wood]
 
               [hand holding flintlock pistol emerges, pans about, points it 
               at audience for a moment]
 
               [Jack breaks out of the top of the casket, puts his captain's 
               hat on]
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Sorry, mate.

               [Jack breaks the skeleton's leg off]

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Mind if we make a little side trip? 
                          I didn't think so.
 
               [Jack uses the skeleton leg as an oar, rows toward the full moon 
               and a waiting ship in the distance to the right of the moon]
 
               
               BLACK PEARL

               [Jack arrives at the Black Pearl in his coffin rowboat]

               [Gibbs holds out his hand to help Jack aboard, Jack puts the 
               skeleton leg in Gibbs' hand]
 
               [Cotton drapes a coat onto Jack's back]

                                     GIBBS
                         Not *quite* according to plan.

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Complications arose, ensued, were overcome.
 
                         
                                     GIBBS
                         You got what you went in for, then?
 
                         
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Mm-hmm!

                                     GIBBS
                         Captain, I think the crew, meaning me 
                         as well, were expecting something a 
                         bit more... *shiny*. What with the Isla 
                         de Muerta going all pear shaped, reclaimed 
                         by the sea, and the treasure with it. 
                           
 
                                     LEECH
                         And the Royal Navy chasing us all around 
                         the Atlantic. 
 
                                     MARTY
                         And the hurricane!

               Aye.

                                     CREW
                         Aye.

               Aye.

                                     GIBBS
                         All in all, it's seems some time since 
                         we did a speck of honest pirating.
 
                         
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Shiny?

                                     GIBBS
                         Aye, shiny.

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Is that how you're all feeling, then? 
                         Perhaps dear old Jack is not serving 
                         your best interests as captain?
 
                                     COTTON'S PARROT
                         Awk! Walk the plank!  

               [Jack grabs his pistol and points it at the bird]

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         What did the bird say?

                                     LEECH
                         Do not blame the bird. Show us what 
                         is on that piece of cloth there. 
 
                         
               [the monkey snarls, seizes the cloth, scampers off with it]
 
               
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Ohhh!

               [Jack attempts to shoot the monkey with his pistol, his pistol 
               misfires]
 
               [Jack grabs a pistol from another crewman and blasts the monkey 
               while it's on the deck]
 
               [the monkey drops the cloth, but is unharmed, and scurries into 
               the rigging]
 
                                     GIBBS
                         Know that don't do no good.  

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         It does me.

               [Marty picks up the cloth that the monkey dropped]

                                     MARTY
                         It's a key!

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         No! Much more better. It is a *drawing* 
                         of a key. 
 
               [Jack holds up the cloth, the crew crowd forward]

               [Among the crew:
                 Chinese man, black man with a black 
                 beard, white bearded man with large 
                 black hat]
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Gentlemen, what do keys do?

                                     LEECH
                         Keys... unlock... *things*? 

                                     GIBBS
                         And whatever this key unlocks, *inside* 
                         there's something valuable. So, we're 
                         setting out to find whatever this key 
                         unlocks!
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         No! If we don't have the key, we can't 
                         open whatever it is we don't have that 
                         it unlocks. So what purpose would be 
                         served in finding whatever need be unlocked, 
                         which we don't have, without first having 
                         found the key what unlocks it?
 
                                     GIBBS
                         So - We're going after this key!

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         You're not making any sense at all. 
                         Any more questions?
 
                                     MARTY
                         So... Do we have a heading?

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Hah! A heading. Set sail in a... mmm... 
                          a general... in *that* way - direction. 
                         
 
                                     GIBBS
                         Cap'n? 

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Come on, snap to and make sail, you 
                         know how this works. Come on, ?oy/?quick, 
                         ?oy/?quick, hey!
 
               [Marty and Gibbs gather alone by the railing]

                         Have you noticed lately... The captain 
                         seems to be actin' a bit strange... 
                         -er.

                         Sparrow bodes ill for us all.

                         The East India Trading Company has need 
                         of your services.  We wish for you to 
                         act as our agent in a business transaction 
                         with our mutual friend: Captain Sparrow.
 
                         
                                     WILL TURNER
                         More acquaintance than friend. How do 
                         you know him?
 
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         We've had dealings in the past.  And 
                         we've each left our mark... on the other. 
                         
 
                                     WILL TURNER
                         What mark did he leave on you? 

                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         By your efforts Jack Sparrow was set 
                         free. I would like you to go to him, 
                         and recover a certain property in his 
                         possession.
 
                                     WILL TURNER
                         Recover. At the point of a sword?

                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         *Bargain*!

               [Beckett goes over to a wooden box on a table and opens it]
 
               
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         Letters of Marque. You will offer what 
                         amounts to a full pardon. Jack will 
                         be free, a privateer in the employ of 
                         England.
 
                                     WILL TURNER
                         Somehow I doubt Jack will consider employment 
                         the same as being free.
 
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                          Freedom.  Jack Sparrow is a dying breed. 
                          The world is shrinking, the blank pages 
                         of the map filled in. Jack must find 
                         his place in the new world or perish. 
                         Not unlike you, Mister Turner. You and 
                         your fiancée face the hangman's noose. 
                         
 
                                     WILL TURNER
                         So you get both Jack *and* the Black 
                         Pearl.
 
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         The Black Pearl?

                                     WILL TURNER
                         The property you want that he possesses.
 
                         
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         A ship? Hardly. The item in question's 
                         considerably smaller and far more valuable. 
                         Something Sparrow keeps on his person 
                         at all times. A compass.  Ah, you know 
                         it. Bring back that Compass, or there's 
                         no deal.

                         I thought not. If it were, there'd be 
                         rum.
 
               [Bootstrap immediately hands Jack a bottle of rum]

               [Jack pries the bottle from Bootstrap's hand with a crackling

                         Then what is?

                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         I'm afraid that *currency* is the currency 
                         of the realm.
 
                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         I expect then that we can come to some 
                         sort of understanding. I'm here to negotiate.
 
                         
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         I'm listening.

               [Elizabeth pulls a pistol, points it at Beckett's head]

                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         I'm listening *intently*.

                         These Letters of Marque, they are signed 
                         by the King?
 
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         Yes, and they're not valid until they 
                         bear my signature and my seal.
 
                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         Or else I would not still be here. You 
                         sent Will to get you the Compass owned 
                         by Jack Sparrow. It will do you no good. 
                         
 
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         Do explain.

                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         I have been to Isla de Muerta, I have 
                         seen the treasure myself. There is something 
                         you need to know.
 
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         Ah, I see. *You* think the Compass leads 
                         only to the Isla de Muerta, and so you 
                         hope to *save* me from an evil fate. 
                         But you mustn't worry. I care not for 
                         cursed Aztec gold. My desires are not 
                         so provincial. There's more than one 
                         chest of value in these waters. So perhaps 
                         you may wish to enhance your offer.

                         Consider into your calculations that 
                         you robbed me of my wedding night.
 
                         
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         So I did. A marriage interrupted.  Or 
                         fate intervenes. You make great efforts 
                         to ensure Jack Sparrow's freedom.  
 
                         
                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         These aren't going to Jack.

                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         Oh really. To ensure Mister Turner's 
                         freedom, then? I'll still want that 
                         Compass. Consider that in your calculations.

                         form, and they intend to do him the 
                         honor of releasing him from his fleshy

                         dress, you'll just have to share, and 
                         wear it one after the other.

                         It's not like that, Sir. This ship is 
                         haunted.

                         it. 
 
               The ghost of a lady, widowed before her marriage, I figure it.

                         I say... that we throw the dress overboard,

                         spirit, Sir. What we need to do is find 
                         out what the spirit needs, and then 
                         just get it back!

                         *captain* nonetheless! Have you not 
                         introduced yourself all these years 
                         as *Captain* Jack Sparrow? 
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         You have my payment. One soul to serve 
                         on your ship is already over there.

                         One soul is not equal to another.

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Aha! So we've established my proposal 
                         is sound in principle, now we're just 
                         haggling over price. 
 
                                     DAVY JONES
                         Price? Pttt!

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Just how many souls do you think my 
                         soul is worth?
 
                                     DAVY JONES
                         One hundred souls, three days-uh.

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         You're a diamond, mate. Send me back 
                         the boy, I'll get started right off. 
                         
 
               [Maccus blocks Jack from exiting]

                         I keep the boy. A good-faith payment. 
                         That leaves you only ninety-nine more 
                         to go. Ha ha! Ha ha! Ha ha! 
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Have you not met Will Turner? He's noble, 
                         heroic, *terrific* soprano. Worth at 
                         least four... maybe three and a half. 
                         And did I happen to mention... he's 
                         in love. With a girl. Due to be married. 
                         Betrothed.  Dividing him from her and 
                         her from him... would only be half as 
                         cruel as actually allowing them be joined 
                         in holy matrimony. Aye?
 
                                     DAVY JONES
                         I keep the boy. Ninety-nine souls-uh. 
                         But I wonder, Sparrow, can you live 
                         with this? Can you condemn an innocent 
                         man - a friend-uh - to a lifetime of 
                         servitude, in your name while you roam 
                         free?
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                          Yep! I'm good with it. Should we seal 
                         it in blood? I mean... mm-mm - ink?

               spot disappears under the effect of the slime]
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Oh, Mr. Gibbs.

                                     GIBBS
                         Aye.

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Uh, I feel sullied and unusual.

                         And how do you intend to harvest these 
                         ninety-nine souls in three days?
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Fortunately, he was mum as the condition 
                         in which these souls need be.

                         us, pilotage. Are we all to work for

                         A *pirate* port is what you mean. Well, 
                         I'm sorry. An honest sailor is what 
                         I am. I make my living fair, and I sleep 
                         well each night, thank you.

                          Thanks, mate.

               [Jack slaps him on the shoulder, the man falls backwards off

               the edge of the balcony]

                         Carry on.

               Heave!

                         orderly line, I'll have you all one 
                         by one. Come on, who's first?

               leaves except for Elizabeth]

                         Will you now? And what would prompt

                         owed. I believe it is.

                         Not until I find this. The key.

               [Wyvern's eyes open in the coral-encrusted wall at the mention

                         What do you know of this?

                         Open the chest with the key, and stab 
                         the heart. No-no-no-no. Don't stab the 
                         heart. The Dutchman needs a living heart, 
                         or there'll be no captain. And if there's 
                         no captain, there's no one to have the 
                         key.

                         Where is the chest?

                         I'm deeply flattered, son, but my first 
                         and only love is the sea.

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Elizabeth.  Hide the rum.

                         You know, these clothes do not flatter 
                         you at all. It should be a dress or 
                         nothing. I happen to have no dress in 
                         my cabin.

                         Darling, I am truly unhappy to have 
                         to tell you this but... through an unfortunate 
                         and *entirely* unforeseeable series 
                         of circumstances that have nothing whatsoever 
                         to do with me, poor William has been 
                         press-ganged into Davy Jones' crew.

                         Oh, please. The captain of the Flying 
                         Dutchman.
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                          You look bloody awful. What are you 
                         doing here?
 
                                     NORRINGTON
                         You *hired* me. I can't help it if your 
                         standards are lax.
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         You *smell* funny.

                         Jack. All I want is to find Will.

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Are you certain? Is that what you really 
                         want most?
 
                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         'Course.

                         Because I would think, you'd want to 
                         find a way to *save* Will the most.
 
                         
                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         And you have a way of doing that?

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Well, there is a chest...

                                     NORRINGTON
                         Oh, dear.

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         A chest of unknown size and origin.
 
                         
               [Pintel & Ragetti walk by, together carrying a crate of bottles, 
               and overhearing the conversation]

                         What contains the still-beating heart 
                         o' Davy Jones.

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         And whoever possesses that chest possesses 
                         the leverage to command Jones to do 
                         whatever it is he or she wants, including... 
                         saving brave William from his grim fate.

                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         How do we find it?

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         With this. My Compass... is unique.
 
                         
                                     NORRINGTON

                         broken.
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         True enough. This Compass does not point 
                         north.

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         It points to the thing you want most

                         most in this world is to find the chest 
                         of Davy Jones, is it not?

                         There's something to knowing the exact 
                         shape of the world and one's place in 
                         it, don't you agree?
 
                                     LORD CUTLER BECKETT
                         I had you brought here because I thought 
                         you'd be interested in the whereabouts 
                         of your daughter.

                         Including the previous owner of this 
                         sword...  I believe. Our ships are in 
                         pursuit. and justice will be dispensed 
                         by cannonade and cutlass,  and all manner 
                         of remorseless pieces of metal. I personally 
                         find it distasteful to even contemplate 
                         the horror facing all those on board.

                         So you see, Mercer, every man has a 
                         price he will willingly accept. Even 
                         for what he hopes never to sell.

                         No. Persuade me.

                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         You do know Will taught me how handle 
                         a sword. 
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         As I said... Persuade me.

               [Elizabeth walks away frustrated, leans on the ship's railing]
 
               
               [Jack makes an odd grunting noise]

               [Norrington walks up to Elizabeth at the railing]

                                     NORRINGTON
                         It's a curious thing. There was a time 
                         when I would've given anything for you 
                         to look like that while thinking about 
                         me.
 
                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         I don't know what you mean.

                                     NORRINGTON
                         Oh, I think you do.

                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         Oh, don't be absurd. I trust him, that's 
                         all.
 
                                     NORRINGTON
                          So you never wondered how your *latest* 
                         fiancé ended up on the Flying Dutchman 
                         in the first place?

                         Strange thing to come upon a longboat 
                         so far out in open waters. 
 
                                     WILL TURNER
                         Just put as many leagues behind us as 
                         you can. As fast as you can.
 
                                     BELLAMY
                         And what are we running from?

               [Will sees Elizabeth's white wedding dress on a chair in the 
               cabin]
 
                                     WILL TURNER
                         That dress. Where did you get it?

                                     BELLAMY
                         It was found aboard the ship. The crew 
                         it thought it was a spirit bringing 
                         some omen of ill fate.
 
                                     WILL TURNER
                         That's foolish.

                         It brought good fortune! The spirit 
                         told us... Put in at Tortuga. And we 
                         made a nice bit of profit there.

                         Off the books, of course.

                         I imagine... some of your crew may have 
                         jumped ship there.

                         of a ship. And *being* captain of a 
                         ship, I could in fact perform a... marriage. 
                         Right here. Right on this deck. Right...

                         One word love: curiosity. You long for 
                         freedom. You long to do what you want 
                         to do because you want it. To act on 
                         selfish impulse. You want to see what 
                         it's like. One day, you won't be able 
                         to resist.

                         Uh my Compass works fine.  

                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         Because you and I *are* alike, and there 
                         will come a moment when you have a chance 
                         to show it. To do the right thing.

                         I *love* those moments. I like to wave 
                         at them as they pass by.
 
                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         You'll have the chance to do something... 
                         something courageous. And when you do, 
                         you'll discover something: that you're 
                         a good man.
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         All evidence to the contrary.

                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         I have faith in you. Want to know why?
 
                         
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Do tell, dearie.

                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         Curiosity. You're going to want it. 
                         A chance to be admired. And gain the 
                         rewards that follow. You won't be able 
                         to resist. You're going to want to know... 
                         what it tastes like.
 
                                     JACK SPARROW
                         I *do* want to know what it tastes like.
 
                         
                                     ELIZABETH SWANN
                         But - seeing as you're a good man I

                         terrible beastie off the hunt, eh? Now.

                                     JACK SPARROW
                         Let us examine that claim for a moment, 
                         former Commodore, shall we? Who was 
                         it, who at the very moment you had a 
                         notorious pirate safely behind bars, 
                         saw fit to *free* said pirate, and take 
                         your dearly beloved all to hisself, 
                         hey? So who's fault is it, *really*, 
                         that you've ended up a rum-pot deckhand 
                         what takes orders from pirates?
 
                                     NORRINGTON
                         Enough!

               [Jack somersaults off the roof to escape, Norrington turns to 
               Will]

                         Unfortunately, Mister Turner... He's 
                         *right*!
 
               [Norrington and Will resume their part of the rooftop duel]

                         slimy git? Look what I got.  I got a 
                         jar of dirt! I got a jar of dirt! And 
                         guess what's inside it?

               [Jack spots a fallen lantern, picks it up with the tip of his 
               sword]
 
               [Jack breaks the lantern against the mast, pours oil over his

                         best the devil.

                         None. But... one of the ships did pick 
                         up a man adrift at sea. He had these.

                         If you intend to claim these, then you 
                         must have something to trade. D'you

                         Aye. And already the world seems a bit 
                         less bright. He fooled us all right 
                         to the end. But I guess that honest 
                         streak finally won out. To Jack Sparrow!
