Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Page #2

Commodore, I must protest!

Carefully, Lieutenant.

Pirate or not, this man saved my life!

One good deed is not enough to redeem

a man for his wickedness!

- It seems enough to condemn him.

- Indeed.

Finally.

- Don't shoot!

- I knew you'd warm up to me.

Commodore Norrington,

my effects, please. And my hat.

Commodore.

- Elizabeth... it is Elizabeth?

- It's Miss Swann.

Miss Swann, if you'd be so kind.

Come, dear, we don't have all day.

If you'll be very kind.

Easy on the goods, darling.

- You're despicable.

- Sticks and stones, love.

I saved your life, you saved mine.

We're square.

Gentlemen, my lady,

you will always remember this

as the day you almost caught...

Captain Jack Sparrow!

- Now will you shoot him?

- Open fire!

On his heels!

Take cover, man!

Gillette, Mr. Sparrow has

a dawn appointment with the gallows.

I would hate for him to miss it.

Search up the stairs!

Look lively, men!

Right where I left you.

Not where I left you.

You're the one they're hunting.

The pirate!

You seem familiar.

Have I threatened you before?

I avoid familiarity with pirates.

It would be a shame to put a black

mark on your record. Excuse me.

Do you think this wise, boy?

Crossing blades with a pirate?

You threatened Miss Swann.

Only a little.

You know what you're doing.

Excellent form. How's your footwork?

If I step here...

Good.

And now I step again.

Ta.

That is a wonderful trick.

Except, once again,

you are between me and my way out.

And now...

you have no weapon.

Who makes all these?

I do.

And I practice with them

three hours a day.

You need to find yourself a girl, mate.

Or, the reason you practice three hours

a day is that you already found one

and are otherwise incapable

of wooing said strumpet.

You're not a eunuch, are you?

I practice three hours a day

so when I meet a pirate, I can kill him!

- You cheated!

- Pirate.

- Move away!

- No.

Please?

No! I cannot just step aside

and let you escape.

This shot is not meant for you.

There he is! Over here!

Excellent work, Mr. Brown. You've

assisted in the capture of a fugitive.

Just doing my civic duty, sir.

I trust you will remember this as the

day Captain Jack Sparrow almost escaped.

Take him away.

- Come here, boy. Come here.

- Who wants a juicy bone?

Come here, boy!

You can keep doing that forever.

The dog is never going to move.

Excuse us if we haven't resigned

ourselves to the gallows just yet.

There you go, miss. It was

a difficult day for you, I'm sure.

I suspected Commodore Norrington would

propose, but I wasn't prepared for it.

I meant you being threatened

by that pirate! Sounds terrifying!

Yes, it was terrifying.

But... the Commodore proposed!

Fancy that.

That's a smart match, miss,

if it's not too bold to say.

It is a smart match.

He's a fine man.

He's what any woman

should dream of marrying.

That Will Turner...

he's a fine man, too.

That is too bold.

Beggin' your pardon.

It was not my place.

Has my daughter

given you an answer yet?

No, she hasn't.

She has had a trying day.

- Ghastly weather, don't you think?

- Really bleak.

What's that?

Cannon fire!

Return fire!

I know those guns.

It's the Pearl.

The Black Pearl?

I've heard stories.

She's been preying on ships

and settlements for ten years.

- Never leaves any survivors.

- No survivors?

Then where do the stories

come from, I wonder?

Mama!

- Sight the muzzle flash.

- Aim for the flashes!

I need a full spread, fore and aft.

Mr. Stevens, more cartridges.

Governor. Barricade yourself

in my office.

That's an order.

Don't!

Hello, chum.

Up there!

Miss Swann,

they've come to kidnap you.

- What?

- You're the governor's daughter!

In here!

They haven't seen you.

First chance you get, run to the fort.

Gotcha!

No! It's hot. I'm burning!

Come on!

Come on, me men.

We know you're here, poppet.

- Poppet!

- Come out.

We promise we won't hurt you.

We will find you, poppet.

You've got something of ours

and it calls to us.

The gold calls to us.

The gold.

Hello, poppet.

Parley.

- What?

- I invoke the right of parley.

The Code of the Brethren states

you have to take me to your captain.

I know the Code.

You can do me no harm

until the parley is complete.

- To blazes with the Code.

- She wants to be taken to the Captain.

And she'll go, without a fuss.

We must honor the Code.

Say goodbye!

Goodbye.

- Come on.

- Elizabeth.

Out of my way, scum!

My sympathies. You've no manner

of luck at all.

Come on, doggy! It's just

you and me now.

It's you and old Jack. Come on.

That's a boy! Get your bone!

That's a good boy.

A bit closer!

That's it, doggy!

Come on, you filthy,

slimy, mangy character!

No! I didn't mean it!

This ain't the armory!

Well, well, well. Look what we have

here, Twigg. Captain Jack Sparrow!

Last time I saw you,

you were all alone on a godforsaken

island, shrinking into the distance.

His fortunes aren't improved much.

Worry about your own fortunes,

gentlemen.

The deepest circle of Hell is reserved

for betrayers and mutineers.

So there is a curse.

- That's interesting.

- You know nothing of Hell.

That's very interesting.

I didn't know we was takin' on captives.

She's invoked the right of parley

with Captain Barbossa.

- I am here to...

- You will speak when spoken to.

And ye will not lay a hand on those

under the protection of parley.

Aye, sir.

My apologies, miss.

Captain Barbossa... I am here to

negotiate the cessation of hostilities.

There are a lot of long words there.

We're naught but humble pirates.

- What is it you want?

- Leave and never come back.

I'm disinclined to acquiesce

to your request.

Means "no."

Very well.

I'll drop it.

Me holds are burstin' with swag.

That bit of shine matters to us?

Why?

It's what you've been searching for.

I recognize the ship.

I saw it eight years ago

on the crossing from England!

Did you now?

Fine. I suppose if it is worthless

there's no point in me keeping it.

No!

You have a name, missy?

Elizabeth... Turner. I'm a maid

in the Governor's household.

Miss Turner!

- Turner!

- Bootstrap!

How does a maid come to own

that trinket? Family heirloom?

I didn't steal it,

if that's what you mean.

You hand it over

and we'll leave and never return.

Our bargain?

Still the guns and stow them. Signal

the men and make good to clear port.

You have to take me to shore.

According to the Code...

First...

Your return to shore was not part of

our negotiations so I must do nothing.

Secondly, you must be a pirate for the

Pirate's Code to apply, and you're not.

Thirdly, the code is more what

you'd call guidelines than actual rules.

Welcome aboard the Black Pearl,

Miss Turner.

They've taken Elizabeth!

Mr. Murtogg, remove this man.

We have to hunt them down.

We must save her.

Where do you propose we start?

If you have any information

concerning my daughter, share it.

That Jack Sparrow.

He talked about the Black Pearl.
