Synopsis: After Elizabeth, Will, and Captain Barbossa rescue Captain Jack Sparrow from the the land of the dead, they must face their foes, Davy Jones and Lord Cutler Beckett. Beckett, now with control of Jones' heart, forms a dark alliance with him in order to rule the seas and wipe out the last of the Pirates. Now, Jack, Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, Tia Dalma, and crew must call the Pirate Lords from the four corners of the globe, including the infamous Sao Feng, to gathering. The Pirate Lords want to release the goddess Calypso, Davy Jones's damned lover, from the trap they sent her to out of fear, in which the Pirate Lords must combine the 9 pieces that bound her by ritual to undo it and release her in hopes that she will help them fight. With this, all pirates will stand together and will make their final stand for freedom against Beckett, Jones, Norrington, the Flying Dutchman, and the entire East India Trading Company.

there'd be no need to guard the chest.

And if there were no chest

we wouldn't need to be here to guard it.

[Men shouting]

Prepare to board!

Cover!

- [Groaning]

- [Grunts]

No!

[Chuckles]

[Jones chuckles]

Lookee here, boys. A lost bird.

A lost bird that never learned to fly.

To my great regret.

But...

...never too late to learn, eh?

[Screaming]

Whoa!

The chest, hand it over.

I can set you free, mate.

My freedOm WaS fOrfeit IOng agO.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

Will you marry me?

I don't think now's the best time.

Now may be the only time.

I love you.

I've made my choice. What's yours?

Barbossa.

Marry us.

I'm a little busy at the moment.

Barbossa, now.

Fine, then.

Dearly beloved,

we be gathered here today...

To nail your gizzards

to the mast, you poxy cur.

Elizabeth Swann,

do you take me to be your husband?

- I do.

- Great.

Will Turner, do you take me...

...to be your wife...

...in sickness and in health...

...with health being the less likely?

I do.

As captain, I now pronounce you...

You may kiss...

[cackles]

You may kiss...

Just kiss.

[Monkey screeches]

Leave it.

You can do nothing without the key.

I already have the key.

No, you don't.

Oh, that key.

No!

Oi. My pistol.

[Screams]

Turner.

Fire!

[Muffled grunting]

Thank you, Jack.

Stop! Lt's me.

It's Will. Your son.

Ha!

[Screams]

- [Thud]

- [Both grunt]

Go!

Harridan! You'll see no mercy from me.

That's why I brought this.

[Elizabeth grunting]

I'm not going to kill you.

I made you a promise.

[Yells]

Missed.

Did you forget?

I'm a heartless wretch.

Ah. Love.

A dreadful bond.

And yet, so easily severed.

Tell me, William Turner,

do you fear death?

[Jack] Do you?

[Heart beating]

Heady tonic, holding life and death

in the palm of one's hand.

You're a cruel man, Jack Sparrow.

Cruel is a matter of perspective.

Is it?

- [Groans]

- [Gasps]

Will?

Look at me! Stay with me!

You're all right.

William?

My son.

Will? Will?

Look at me. Look at me!

You will not forestall my judgment.

[Gasping]

Calypso.

She's taking us down! Make quick

or it's the Locker for us all!

No.

No, no.

No!

[All] Part of the crew.

Part of the ship, part of the crew.

Part of the ship, part of the crew.

Don't leave me.

Don't. No!

I won't leave you.

The Dutchman must have a captain.

Hold on.

Thank goodness, Jack.

The armada's still out there. The

Endeavor's coming up hard to starboard,

and I think it's time we embrace that

oldest and noblest of pirate traditions.

Never actually been one for tradition.

Close haul her.

Luff the sails and lay her in irons.

Belay that,

or we'll be a sitting duck.

Belay that "belay that."

- But the arma...

- Belay.

- The Endeav...

- Stow. Shut it.

What are they waiting for?

He expects us to honor our agreement.

[Man] Ready guns and gun ports.

It's nothing personal, Jack.

It's just good business.

Ah, she survived.

[Grunting and moaning]

- Ready on the guns.

- [All] Guns ready.

Full canvas.

Aye, full canvas.

Orders, sir.

Sir!

Cap'n.

- Fire.

- Fire!

- Fire!

- Fire!

Fire, all!

Orders? Orders, sir?

Sir, what do you command?

Lt's just...

...good business.

Abandon ship!

- Abandon ship!

- All hands, abandon ship!

- [Glass shatters]

- [Explosions]

They're turning away!

[Shouting]

[Squawks] Wind in your sails.

Shiver me timbers.

[Shouting, cheering]

Captain Turner!

- Mr. Gibbs.

- Cap'n?

- You may throw my hat if you like.

- Aye, aye, cap'n.

Hooray!

Now go and get it.

Orders, sir?

You're no longer bound

to the Dutchman. You're free.

Aye.

That's a fine thing, but...

...by my reckoning,

I still have a debt that has to be paid.

If you'll have me.

On the wheel, then, Mr. Turner.

Aye, Captain Turner.

[Bootstrap Bill] This ship

has a purpose again.

And where we are bound...

...she cannot come.

One day ashore.

Ten years at sea.

That's a steep price

for what's been done.

Depends on the one day.

Your chariot awaits, Your Highness.

The oars are inside.

Mrs. Turner.

Goodbye, poppet.

Jack.

It would never

have worked out between us.

Keep telling yourself that, darling.

Once was quite enough.

Thank you.

I'm going to need the other one.

It's nearly sunset.

[Heart beating]

Lt's always belonged to you.

Will you keep it safe?

Yes.

Yes.

Will!

Keep a weather eye on the horizon.

Granted it tends to list to port,

and has been, on occasion,

known to frighten young women.

But I promise you,

you will not be disappointed.

Is that it?

The Black Pearl.

It's not very big.

Love, that is a dinghy.

My vessel is magnificent

and fierce and huge-ish and...

...gone. Why is it gone?

Is that it there?

Yes, there it is.

Why is it there?

Lt's much larger up close.

[Sighs] Jack, you promised

to take us for a ride.

- I was to be given the first ride.

- What? You?

- Not what he said.

- [Gasps] I never!

Mr. Gibbs? Any particular reason

why my ship is gone?

The ship? We're on the ship.

Jack! The ship's gone!

Really?

Ladies! Will you please shut it?

Listen to me.

Yes, I lied to you.

No, I don't love you.

Of course it makes you look fat.

I've never been to Brussels.

It is pronounced "egregious."

By the way, no, I've never actually

met Pizarro, but I love his pies.

And all of this pales

to utter insignificance

in light of the fact that

my ship is once again gone. Savvy?

- Take what you can.

- Give nothing back.

Tell me, ladies,

what do you know of sea turtles?

Sea turtles?

Let me tell you

the amazing story of Cap...

[Barbossa] All men up the ratlines.

All men up the ratlines!

Oh, you want a taste of this?

Oh, that's a good boy!

You're Daddy's boy.

Oh, yes, you are.

Oh, yes, you are.

Sir?

Some of the men don't feel

entirely settled

- about leaving Captain Jack behind.

- Again.

- Again.

- Is that so?

Lt would make us feel a whole lot

better regarding our fortunes

if we could see that item

you told us about.

- On the charts.

- Aye.

With our own eyes.

To help put an ease

to our burden of guilt, so to speak.

Ah.

Feast your eyes upon this, mateys.

There's more than one way

to live forever.

Gents, I give you

the Fountain of Youth.

Sparrow.

[Jack] # Yo ho, yo ho

A pirate's life for me

[humming]

# We're devils and black sheep

Really bad eggs

# Drink up, me hearties

Yo ho

[boy] # Yo ho, yo ho

A pirate's life for me

# We pillage, we plunder

We rifle and loot

# Drink up, me hearties

Yo ho

# We kidnap and ravage

And don't give a hoot

# Drink up, me hearties

Yo ho

# Yo ho, yo ho

A pirate's life for me #
