Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Page #4

Careful! Careful!

You stupid fish!

Actually it's a cephalopod.

Serves you right.

[Ragetti] Pin, I bet people

would pay a shilling to see this.

And another shilling

for a sketch of them sitting atop!

Pintel and Ragetti, Kraken slayers.

[Ragetti] We could serve up

a slice as a souvenir.

Still thinking of running, Jack?

Think you can outrun the world?

You know, the problem

with being the last of anything...

...by and by, there be none left at all.

Sometimes things come back, mate.

We're living proof, you and me.

Aye, but that's a gamble

of long odds, ain't it?

There's never

a guarantee of coming back.

But passing on, that's dead certain.

Summoning the Brethren Court,

then, is it?

Lt's our only hope, lad.

That's a sad commentary

in and of itself.

The world used to be a bigger place.

The world's still the same.

There's just... less in it.

Poisoned. Fouled by the body.

Eh, I know him. He was in Singapore!

- [Squawks] Singapore.

- Captain!

Hoy!

We got company!

He's the captain.

[Shouting]

Sao Feng...

...you showing up here,

it is truly a remarkable coincidence.

[Sao Feng] Jack Sparrow.

You paid me great insult once.

That doesn't sound like me.

[Groans]

Shall we just call it square, then?

Release her.

- She's not part of the bargain.

- And what bargain be that?

You heard Captain Turner.

- Release her!

- "Captain Turner"?

Aye, the perfidious rotter

led a mutiny against us!

I need the Pearl to free my father.

That's the only reason

I came on this voyage.

Why didn't you tell me

you were planning this?

Lt was my burden to bear.

He needs the Pearl.

Captain Turner needs the Pearl.

And you felt guilty.

And you and your Brethren Court.

Did no one come to save me

just because they missed me?

I'm standing with them.

I'm sorry, Jack, but there is an

old friend who wants to see you first.

I'm not certain I can survive

any more visits from old friends.

Here is your chance to find out.

Curious.

Your friends appear

to be quite desperate, Jack.

Perhaps they no longer believe that

a gathering of squabbling pirates

can defeat the Flying Dutchman.

And so despair leads to betrayal.

But you and I are no strangers

to betrayal, are we?

Lt's not here, Jack.

What? What isn't?

The heart of Davy Jones.

It's safely aboard the Dutchman,

and so unavailable for use as leverage

to satisfy your debt

to the good captain.

By my reckoning,

that account has been settled.

[Beckett] By your death?

And yet here you are.

Close your eyes

and pretend it's all a bad dream.

That's how I get by.

And if Davy Jones

were to learn of your survival?

[Man] Ship oars.

[Man 2] Ship oars.

Be on your guard, men.

My men are crew enough.

Company ship, company crew.

You agreed.

The Black Pearl was to be mine.

And so it was.

[Beckett] Perhaps you'll consider

an alternative arrangement.

One which requires absolutely

nothing from you but information.

Regarding the Brethren Court, no doubt.

In exchange for fair compensation?

Square my debt with Jones...

...guarantee my freedom?

Of course.

It's just good business.

Were I in a divulgatory mood,

what then might I divulge?

Everything.

Where are they meeting?

Who are the pirate lords?

What is the purpose

of the nine pieces of eight?

[Man] Prepare the brig.

Beckett agreed the Black Pearl

was to be mine.

He's not going to give up the only ship

as can outrun the Dutchman, is he?

Shame they're not bound to honor

the code of the Brethren, isn't it?

Because honor's

a hard thing to come by nowadays.

There is no honor

to remaining with the losing side.

Leaving it for the winning side,

that's just good business.

- The losing side, you say?

- They have the Dutchman.

Now the Pearl!

And what do the Brethren have?

We have Calypso.

[Laughs] Calypso.

An old legend.

No. The goddess herself,

bound in human form.

Imagine all the power of the seas

brought to bear against our enemy.

I intend to release her.

But for that I need the Brethren Court.

All the Court.

You can keep Barbossa.

The belligerent homunculus and

his friend with the wooden eye, both.

And Turner. Especially Turner.

The rest go with me on the Pearl.

I'll lead you to Shipwreck Cove,

where I will hand you the pirates

and you will not hand me to Jones.

- Bloody fair deal, don't you think?

- And what becomes of Miss Swann?

What interest is she to you?

What are you proposing, captain?

What be accepting, cap'n?

- The girl.

- What?

Jack.

I've just recalled.

I've got this wonderful compass,

which points to whatever I want.

So for what do I need you?

Elizabeth is not part of any bargain.

Out of the question.

It was not a question.

Points to the thing you want most.

And that is not

the Brethren Court, is it?

- Then what is, Jack?

- Me.

- Dead.

- Done.

What? Not done.

You got us into this.

If it frees us, then done!

Damn.

Although, if I kill you,

then I can use the compass

to find Shipwreck Cove,

is it, on my own.

Cut out the middle man, as it were.

Elizabeth, they are pirates.

I have had more than enough

experience dealing with pirates!

Then we have an accord?

With me killed,

you'd arrive at the cove,

find it a stronghold,

nigh impregnable...

...able to withstand blockade for years.

Then you'd be wishing, "lf only there

was someone I had not killed inside

to ensure that the pirates

then come outside."

And you can accomplish all this?

You may kill me,

but you may never insult me.

Who am I?

I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.

[Rumbling]

Done!

- [Man shouting]

- [Cannon fire]

[Man] Man overboard!

You're mad.

Thank goodness.

If I wasrt, this'd probably never work.

[Jack shouting]

And that was without

even a single drop of rum.

Send this pestilent, traitorous,

cowhearted, yeasty codpiece to the brig.

Which ship do we follow?

Signal the Dutchman to track down

Sao Feng. We follow the Pearl.

How soon can we have

the ship ready to pursue?

[Wood cracking]

[Man] She's going down!

[Man 2] Stand clear!

Do you think he plans it all out,

or just makes it up as he goes along?

Sir.

[Speaking Chinese]

By this time tomorrow, we will arrive

at Shipwreck Cove and you will be free.

Calypso.

Excuse me?

Not a name you fancy, I imagine,

out of the many that you have...

...but it is what we call you.

We being who?

You confirm it.

Confirm what?

- You've told me nothing.

- The Brethren Court, not I.

The First Brethren Court,

whose decision I would have opposed.

They bound you to human form

so the rule of the seas

would belong to man and not...

To me.

But one such as you should never

be anything less than what you are.

Pretty speech from a captor.

But words whispered

through prison bars lose their charm.

Can I be blamed for my efforts?

All men are drawn to the sea,

perilous though it may be.

And some men offer desire

as justification for their crimes.

I offer simply my desire.

And in return?

I would have your gifts,

should you choose to give them.
