In the follow-up to the record-breaking smash 2006 hit Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, we find our heroes Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) allied with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones' locker - while the terrifying ghost ship, The Flying Dutchman and Davy Jones, under the control of the East India Trading Company, wreaks havoc across the Seven Seas. Navigating through treachery, betrayal and wild waters, they must forge their way to exotic Singapore and confront the cunning Chinese Pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat). Now headed beyond the very ends of the earth, each must ultimately choose a side in a final, titanic battle as not only their lives and fortunes, but the entire future of the freedom-loving Pirate way, hangs in the balance.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest may have been a massive financial success, but critically speaking the franchise took a nosedive going into its second film. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is director Gore Verbinski's chance to do more than make a lot of cash, it]s his last chance to return his piratical franchise to being good again.
Let's face it, making money with these movies is easy. After the first movie was discovered by audiences (by some in theaters and others on DVD), there was such a hunger for more of Captain Jack Sparrow, that Disney could have shoved any old thing out in theaters and made insane amounts of money off of it. That's exactly what they did. The Pirates crew took a more is better approach to the second film and jam-packed it with so many special effects and so many fantastical new monsters that the things that made the first movie so much fun in the first place were almost completely overwhelmed by special effects. Pirates of the Caribbean stopped being a pirate movie and became animated monsters of the high seas.
No one who's really a fan of the first movie wants that.
They got away with it for one film, and pre-primed, easy to please audiences walked away happy. But they'll need to do more than throw a big bucket full of computer generated paint at the screen for the second movie. We've been there, done that now. At World's End is the franchise's chance to get back to focusing on what made this thing so great: Pirates. Not talking fish.
Verbinski needs to buckle his swash and return to the world of high-seas scallywags we�re supposed to be knee deep in. The first movie balanced fantasy and swordplay capably, both found a place in the film. They can do it again, and the return of Captain Barbosa in the second movie should help them do that. The more pirates they add, the more giant McGuffin toting squids they can subtract. With Barbosa and his undead monkey back causing trouble, At World's End has a chance.

I Love pirates2 and it is better than the firdt one. i am waiting to watch the third one.i think i will love that one.some said Captain Jack Sparrow will die in the third film.i don't know it is right or wrong.i want Captain Sparrow alive.
i just cant wait 4 the 3rd film. its gonna B the best 1. imean everythin has 2 B explained. therell probablE B alot of laughter in it. + they hav johnny playin captain jack. oh & by the wA, Jack wil live............4eva
I loved the first and second movie of Pirates but the third one looks like junk!!! Come on. The pics make it all ready look like garbage. I might be able to write more when the trailer comes out but I will still will watch because Im a faithful fan. #1 Fan!!!
Question?:Where's Orlando in here? Did his character die in the movie? ?????
For Peoples Information: There will only be three movies. Also Johnny Depp NEVER does sequels so us Pirates fans are lucky we are getting two more movies.
i love the movies aparintly number 4 kera knightly wont be in cause she doesent want to continue them. that kinda sucks and i kinda wonder who is going to replace her. shes lucky to kiss johnny depp tho. lol
Does anybody know for sure when is the trailer coming out cause I've heard tons of diferent guesses... some say in the superbowl, other in mid january (which is not that far away), and others say in ghost rider.
anybody is sure when??
please i need an answer, I'm totally desperate!!!
To be honest does it really matter if Jack Sparrow dies in the third film? It's a supernatural franchise anyway so they could always bring him back for a fourth... ghost? ressurected? anyone care to hazard a guess?
hello yessika,
could you please send me that script, too. i'm desperately trying to get it into my hands. mail to: thesmurf@freenet.de
there are a lot of rumours about the trailor... i gave up hoping that it will be out soon... someone talked about the superbowl... i'm not sure of course... i think i can wait until may... but only with those 56 pages :-)
I'm a huge POTC fan, and i really liked the first and second movies, but i do hope that they bring more actual pirates into the third movie instead of computer generated monsters. and to all of you guys that keep talking about a 4th movie or more, we are lucky that we are getting three, as Johnny Depp never does sequels.
does anybody know when the trailer's coming out???
BARBOSSA
On rare occasions, when the sun sets, there is a green flash on the horizon. they say - -.
GIBBS/PINTEL
… that’s the only time a soul can transition between worlds.
Gibbs and Pintel glare at each other, the two storytellers in competition.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 25]
PINTEL
(to Ragetti ) Thinks he knows everything.
GIBBS
(to Jack) Thinks he knows everything.
Jack idly watches as Ragetti’s eye roll scross the table;ship moving with the waves
Jack has a sudden idea. Gets up, watches the eye. His movement is enough to draw the attention of the others.
JACK SPARROW
Hmn. When sunrise sets. Now there’s a notion.
Jack suddenly races to the starboard side. Everyone follows - -
what is he up to? He looks out at the sunset. Suddenly seems to see something on the port side.
JACK SPARROW (CONT’D)
There, it moved!
ELIZABETH
What?
WILL
I don’t see anything - -
But Jack runs across, and everyone follows, and the ship tilts a little more. Jack goes the other way, and Gibbs figures it out.
GIBBS
He’s rocking the ship.
그
BARBOSSA
Aye, he’s onto it. All hands together!
GIBBS
Time it with each swell!
Wouldn't be surprised if Jack Ended up with Elizabeth, Barbossa was "left standing on some beach with not but a name", and poor Will is dead or becomes The Singing Soprano Eunuch of Singapore
The old gang is back again- and this time without Jack to keep Barbossa on a leash (For the moment at least).
I'm excited to see what happens with Davy Jones and the East India co, and What Norington will be doing (If he made the film).
In the End of the film, I wouldn't be suprised if Jack ended up with Elizabeth, Barbossa is "Left standing on some beach with not but a name," and poor Will is left dead or neutered. If not, then I guess it's "I love weddings, drinks all around!"
I think that most movie critics these days are completely wrong. I mean some get it right some of the time, but most of them are just plain wrong. When a critic says a movie is bad generally I loved it.
I am a Pirates fan to the max and Pirates 2 was AMAZING!
Yeah, here is one script that night be a cool trailer.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3: Script--Early Draft
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 1
EXT. SINGAPORE HARBOR - WHARF - NIGHT
Asian junks jammed into raised, crisscrossing docks. Weird shadows cast by hanging lamps.
Amid the pylons, ELIZABETH SWANN pilots a small boat with a long pole. She moves through the maze of ropes, stairways, rafts and skiffs. It's Singapore harbor, a place of danger and decadence, mystery and magic.
Elizabeth sings softly and very slowly
ELIZABETH
(singing)
Came all ye young fellers that follows the sea
She waits, listening.
Silence.
Again she sings --
ELIZABETH
(CONT'D)
Came all ye young fellers that follows the sea
A VOICE IN THE DARK answers, completes the line
MAN(O.S)
(singing).
To my way haye, blow the man down
Elizabeth changes course, toward the voice. The singer is an ASIAN MAN crouched on a platform. Cleaning fish, guts up to his elbows. He raises his eyes to Elizabeth. Points.
Elizabeth pushes off in that direction. Sings the next line --
ELIZABETH
I've a deep water Clipper just in from Hong Kong
ANOTHER VOICE in the dark before her answers.
OLD MAN(O.S.)
Give us the time and we'll blow the man down
The OLD MAN washes clothes on floating dock; she gestures for Elizabeth to continue on her path. Elizabeth sings:
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 2
ELIZABETH
If you'll give me some grog, then I'll sing you a song
A DARK FIGURE stands on the dock before her.
DARK FIGURE (O.S.)
To my way, haye, blow the man down!
The Figure turns -- is revealed to be BARBOSSA. He is flanked by half a dozen Chiese SOLDIERS.
Barbossa nods, gestures at the boat - -
BARBOSSA
Bring him.
Pintel and Ragetti stand up in the boat. Reveal - -
A HOODED PRISONER, bound, between them in the boat. He is lifted out. They start to move forward - -
- - but one of the SOLDERS holds up a hand. Twirls a finger for the Prisoner to be turned away. The Soldier RIPS AWAY the Prisoner's shirt - -
Revealed on the Prisoner's back is an elaborate TATTOO of a DRAGON.
The Soldier nods - - this is the right guy. They start forward.
CLOSE ON: the Prisoner listens to the FOOTSTEPS around him, taking in his situation by sound - -
Suddenly the Prisoner pushes away from his guards, knocks down the Soldier. Pulls his bound hands down around his feet, bringing his hands to the front - - grabs a sword from the Soldier, and jumps up to a fighting pose - -
other Soldiers attack - - amazingly, the Prisoner, even blinded by the hood, and with both hands bound in front, is able to deflect their blades.
Barbossa rolls his eyes.
BARBOSSA
(O.S.)
Don't fight him one at a time. Rush him all at once, all of you.
Soldier rush the Prisoner and he is overwhelmed, falls to the dock. Elizabeth presses a knife under his chin, letting him feet it - -
ELIZABETH
You don't realize, do you? (MORE)
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 3
ELIZABETH
It doesn't matter to us if you are alive or dead.
The Prisoner lets go of the sword. He is dragged to his feet, and pushed along the dock - -
INT. TEMPLE - NIGHT
Barbossa leads the group into a modest temple. Plain floor and walls, bamboo tapestries.
Opposite him is CAPTAIN SAO FENG, notorious Chinese Pirate - - flanked by his PIRATE SOLDIER. Behind Sao Feng, sitting on a raised throne is a young, beautiful Chiese DRAGON LADY.
She says nothing - - and misses nothing.
Barbossa bows before the Dragon Lady.
BARBOSSA
My Lady. I am pleased to return and see you are well. I bring you a gift - - the treacherous Lang Si, who slayed your brother many years ago.
Soldier turn the Prisoner around - - revealing the dragon tattoo. Many of the soldiers react, scowl in anger - -
Sao Feng holds up a hand.
SAO FENG
The Lady thanks you.
BARBOSSA
And does the depth of her generosity extend to a gift in return? Perhaps the charts we discussed?
Sao Feng opens a satchel, revealing a set of charts inside.
SAO FENG
The charts are here. the Lady knows of your interest in Jack Sparrow, who is known to us as a scoundrel and evildoer and who himself has a price on his head.
Elizabeth pushes forward.
ELIZABETH
How much?
Sao Feng focuses on Elizabeth. Looks at Barbossa.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 4
SAO FENG
I command your choice in a traveling companion. I fear we chose the wrong payment.
BARBOSSA
The Wench is not for sale at this moment.
ELIZABETH
Wench?
Barbossa implores her to silence with a look.
BARBOSSA
The charts?
SAO FENG
I can tell you that Jack Sparrow resides in Davy Jone's Locker, which lies on the path to the Land of the Dead.
BARBOSSA
Just like Jack, to cheat death.
SAO FENG
He will suffer for eternity. Some say Death would be kinder. but Davy Jones never gives up what he takes from the sea.
BARBOSSA
Let me see the charts.
Captain Sao Feng smiles.
SAO FENG
How do we know your quest was successful? The Lady desire to look upon this coward.
Barbossa pulls a pistol. Swords are drawn in response. But - - Barbossa aims the pistol at the Prisoner.
BARBOSSA
The Lady desire revenge. Hard over the charts, or Lang Si dies and the Lady will be robbed of her satisfaction.
Pintel and Ragetti, on opposite sides of the Prisoner, edge away from the Prisoners.
Sao Feng regards Barbossa he plays with an intricate, Chinese knot pendant on a string around his neck.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 5
Shakes his head. he closes the satchel.
SAO FENG
No.
It's a stand-off. One of the Chinese soldiers notices something, stares at the Prisoner's back.
Sweat on his back. The Tattooed Dragon is melting.
The Soldier catches Sao Feng's eye. Shakes his head slightly.
Sao Feng raises an eyebrow.
SAO FENG
(CON'T)
Kill them.
His soldier swarm around him to attack - -
The prisoner, still hooded, dodges an attack. Elizabeth defends against two soldters, takes a sword deom one as he halls. She turns and SLASHES at the Prisoner - -
- - cutting the Prisoner's bonds and trowing him a sword.
The Prisoner yanks off the food - -
- -it is WILL TURNER.
Elizabeth and Will smiles at each other. Then spin to fight back to back - -
Barbossa takes on Captain Feng as Elizabeth darts in the grab the Charts. She is cut off by two Guards. Will goes to her rescue - - and now there are a half dozen soldiers surrounding the Charts. Sao Feng makes note of this - -
The Dragon Lady watches it all, never flinching.
WILL
back! To the doors!
The group is quickly outnumbered and overwhelmed. Pintel and Ragetti cut a path to the door - -
EXT. SINGAPORE - DOCKS - NIGHT
Our heroes flee down ramps, up ladders, swing on ropes.
Elizabeth and Barbossa fight through an array of Pirates.
Pintel and Ragetti fight and also gleefully knock stuff over.
Will holds off a group, and then swings away on a rope - -
- - and comes face-to-face with Captain Sao Feng. Oh shit.
The two of them cross blades.
They fight their way across a platform and CRASH through a window.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 6
INT. PLATFORM HUT - NIGHT
Will and Sao Feng stand. But a weird thing - - they don't continue the fight. Instead, Sao Feng pulls out - - the Charts.
He glances at Will.
WILL
I will deliver Jack Sparrow. There is no love loss between us.
SAO FENG
I wish you luck.(eyes a window) Shall we?
Will smiles, the two of them race toward the window on the other side of the shack - -
EXT. SINGAPORE HARBOR - NIGHT
- - Will and Sao Feng crash through the window, roll, and come up fighting. Will cuts Sao Feng's sword away, and races off. Sao Feng calls out - -
SAO FENG
I see hem! Follow me - - this way!
SOLDIER appear - - and Sao Feng leads them in the opposite direction Will took.
EXT. SINGAPORE - DACK - NIGHT
Will hooks back up with Barbossa and Elizabeth.
WILL
I have the Charts.
BARBOSSA
I'm impressed, Mister Turner.
WILL
You have us a ship?
BARBOSSA
Aye, we're got a ship.
They race around the corner, and revealed before them is - -
- - the HAI PENG, an old, decrepit Chiese JUNK with patched sails.
TIA DALMA
is on board, and has the ship pulling away from the dock.
WILL
It's a junk!
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 7
BARBOSSA
Aye.
WILL
No, I mean, it really is junk..
BARBOSSA
She's a strong spirit. she'll take us to the edge of the world! Or perhaps you'
DAVY JONES
rather stay here?
SOLDIERS appear; they are crashed along the docks, leap onto the ship - - a narrow escape from Singapore!
EXT. HAI PENG - DECK - NIGHT
Will looks back - - CHINESE SAILORS line the docks, there are dozens of ships nearby, but none of them pursue.
ELIZABETH
Why aren't we being followed?
TIA DALMA
There is something on the seas that even the most staunch and bloodthirsty pirates have come to fear
INT. BECKETT'S OFFICE - DAY
Swann and Beckett at the desk, working through a sheaf of documents. Swann signs his name under Beckett's supervision, Beckett affixes a seal to each in turn.
Swann pauses as he leafs through a new stack.
SWANN
Attack authorizations? I thought pirate activity was at an ebb.
BECKETT
They're lying low for the moment. But the Brethren will gather soon enough, and then one final strike - -
SWANN
A Portuguese merchant vessel? This one is for ships of the French Royal Navy! You intend for the Flying Dutchman to wage war on other nations?
BECKETT
Our efforts simply secure the sea lanes for British commerce. What serves the Company, serves England. (taps the documents) Governor?
Swann hesitates then signs. He hates it.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 8
SWANN
If I didn't need the Company's help to find my daughter, I would report you to the King.
BECKETT
A fine illustration of the principle that rational self-interest yields mutual benefit.
Swann's angry pressure on the quill causes it to SNAP.
Beckett already has another one waiting.
EXT. DOCKS - DAY
Swann strides along the dock. A large steam engine has been installed. It starts with a DEAFENING ROAR, starting Swann. He takes some anger out on it with his cane.
Norrington catches his arm. They must SHOUT over the noise.
NORRINGTON
Governor!
SWANN
What is this thing?
NORRINGTON
Progress! The world is changing!
SWANN
What?
NORRINGTON
The world! Changing! For the - -
The engine shudders to an unintended and broken-sounded halt. Quiet now, no shouting necessary.
NORRINGTON (CONT'D)
For the better.
SWANN
How can you look at that and call the world better?
He gestures past Norrington - -
- - To where the Flying Dutchman lay at anchor, an abomination in broad day light. Encrusted sailors loading the bay.
Norrington has no answer.
SWANN (CONT'D)
Though it may have been flawed in action, ther was once a belief that it was beneficial and correct to consider the welfare of others!
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 9
Norrington doesn'TIA DALMA know where that came from. Suddenly, it all crashes down on Swann. He sags.
SWANN
(CONT'D)
I miss Elizabeth. I need to find what's become of her.
Norrington looks at him. Glances over his shoulder at the Flying Ducthman. Back to Swann. It takes an effort, but finally:
NORRINGTON
Sir I am sorry. At last report, Elizabeth was aboard the Black Pearl when she went down. All hands are presumed lost.
Swann looks back up at Norrington. He does not want to believe it. Norrington does not want to say it, but - -
NORRINGTON (CONT'D)
I was there.
Swann absorbs this.
SWANN
I must find a ship to England.
The steam engine ROARS back to life as he says this, his words nearly lost in the sound.
ANGLE - THE BALCONY, where Beckett stands, gazing down at the scence.
REVERSE - POV BECKETT, as the ROAR of the engine continues as Swann moves away from Norrington. Norrington catches his arm. A heated exchange, Swann bringing most of the heat.
Finally Swann turns and strides away. Norrington watches him, resigned and then looks up, directly into CAMERA, right at Beckett.
EXT. HAI PENG - DECK - NIGHT
Gibbs at the helm. Barbossa reads the charts. Gibbs tries to peek but Barbossa pulls them away.
BARBOSSA
Come about full, and set your heading due north.
Gibbs frowns, doesn't move the wheel. Barbossa raises an eyebrow.
GIBBS
We just spent three days and nights sailing due south.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 10
BARBOSSA
I don't have a need of you questioning my orders, Mister Gibbs.
GIBBS
Aye, you give the orders, now, is that how it is?
Will cuts in between them.
WILL
Gibbs, by my authority, you're to follow the heading suggested by Mister Barbossa, in his official capacity of - - navigator.
Barbossa gives Gibbs as angelic smile. Gibbs turns the wheel.
WILL (CONT'D)
Mister Barbossa On the charts, I was struck by a curious phrase. "Capsized into the mirrored sea, the sunrise sets at the flash of green." Do you care to speculate on that for me?
BARBOSSA
Ever gazed upon the green flash, Mister Gibbs?
GIBBS
I reckon I've seen my share.(explains, for Will's benefit) It's quite a sight. Happens at the last glimpse of sunset, on rare occasions, a green flash shoots up. Some go their whole lives and never see it, many claim to have seen it who never have. Sailors say it signals when a soul comes back to this world from the dead.
WILL
(to Barbossa) What are the implications to our journey?
BARBOSSA
I reckon it will Beckett clear enough when the time comes.
Will
I am interested in your present day speculations.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 11
BARBOSSA
I reckon I'll keep my speculations to myself for now, and that way you'll have good reason to keep me around the entire journey.
GIBBS
A prudent strategy, says I.
Barbossa glares at Gibbs. Will decides not to push the matter.
Will
Carry on, then.
Barbossa bows and turns away. Nearby, Pintel and Ragetti swab the deck, obviously listening in. As they speak, FLAKES OF SNOW start to drop down around them.
Ragetti leans over to Pintel as if he has a great secret.
RAGETTI
It's a riddle.
PINTEL
I know it's a riddle. They know it's a riddle. They don't know what the riddle mean. I don't like riddles.
RAGETTI
Riddles are fun. "Capsized into the mirrored sea, the sunrise sets"
PINTEL
Riddles are not fun! The way it always works is some poor bloke don't understand what it means, and then he ends up dead he realizes no, I wasn't supposed to listen to the singsing of the sirens, I wasn't supposed to take the pot o'gold and make that fourth wish, but by then it's too late and he dies in a horrible and ironical manner, and in this case, you and I be the poor bloke!
RAGETTI
Riddle are fun.
PINTEL
Right, it's all fun and games 'til somebody loses an eye - -
Pintel goes pale, realizes what he has just said.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 12
RAGETTI
Now, there was no call to get all personal!
PINTEL
I didn't mean it!
They are interrupted SCRAPING SOUND along the keel of the boat. Pintel and Ragetti look out
EXT. OCEAN - DAY
Where a huge ICEBERG floats past in the water. The Hai Peng sails amid the snow and icebergs, beneath white-blue sheen of glaciers.
PINTEL
Where on God's green earth is he taking us?
EXT. HAT PENG - DECK - NIGHT
Tia Dalma measures out rum to the crew. Barbossa downs his right away.
Gibbs nurses his. Elizabeth cups her hands around hers as if it will keep her warm.
TIA DALMA
We sail into dangerous waters together. I wonder which of you are up to the task? You will survive if your motives are strong.
She turns to Will.
TIA DALMA (O.S.)
What brings you on this voyage?
WILL
There is what a man can do, and what a man can't do. Jack Sparrow died saving my life. I can't leave it at that.
ON ELIZABETH - - she knows that's not true, but keeps it to himself. Tia Dalma turns to Barbossa.
Barbossa answers with great conviction and sincerity and a lowered head:
BARBOSSA
To atone for my many and varied sins, ma'am.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 13
Gibbs laughs. Barbossa looks hurt.
BARBOSSA(CONT'D)
And because you kindly asked me to come on this voyage, ma'am.(explains) Seeing as she did me the great service of restoring my life, I am of course overcome with gratitude, and offer to Beckett of service in any way I can.
GIBBS
I wondered about that. How exactly were you delivered from your fate?
Barbossa smiles, sticks his knife into an apple slice, bites into it and chews. Silence is his only answer.
TIA DALMA
And you, Elizabeth? What lies in your heart on this trip?
Elizabeth jerks her head at the word "lies" Will watches her.
She condiders, and finally settles on:
ELIZABETH
Jack Sparrow did not deserve the fate the world gave him.
TIA DALMA
Ah, and what man does?
ELIZABETH
To punish the wicked, I leave as God's work. But at least we can try to reward the good, don't you think? (beat) What about you, Tia Dalma? What makes you risk such a dangerous journey?
TIA DALMA
The world is a lesser place without Jack Sparrow.
ELIZABETH
To Beckett sure. But that doesn't answer the question, does it?
WILL
Leaving me all the more curious as to your response.
Tia Dalma looks slyly between them. She answers enigmatically:
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 14
TIA DALMA
I am owed many debts, with Jack Sparrow not the least among the debtors. I can hardly collect from a man not of this world.
EXT. HAI PENG - DECK - NIGHT
Elizabeth, lost in thought. has moved away from the others.
Will comes up behind her.
WILL
It must Beckett a terrible secret indeed, for you to let it come between us.
ELIZABETH
Nothing has come between us. But I do worry I will not live up to what you deserve.
Will donesn't like the sound of that.
WILL
As do I with you. Every day. I suspect there is more that troubles you.
ELIZABETH
My heart is troubled for the same reason yours is. If we can rescue Jack, all will Beckett well.
Will doesn't know how to take that. He presumes - - wrongly - - that she is in love with Jack, and hopes to get him back.
WILL
This is a voyage of resolution, then.
Elizabeth nods. Looks out past the rigging - -
- - the ocean before them is a mirror, stars above and below.
ELIZABETH
Like sailing into the night sky. (beat) Such a sight is what gave rise to tales and superstitions of the end of the world, where the ocean drops off into nothingness.
Barbossa joins them at the railing, pleased.
BARBOSSA
Ah, we're good and lost now.
ELIZABETH
Lost?
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 15
BARBOSSA
Aye, for certain you have to Beckett lost, to find a place as can't Beckett found. Elseways everyone would know where it was, wouldn't they?
WILL
Lost or crazy.
BARBOSSA
Or why not both?
Barbossa laughs. Then they hear a distant ROAR.
The SOUND of RAGING WATER gets LOUDER. The ship TURNS on its own, is swept toward the sound - -
GIBBS
Hard a-port! Gather way and keep her trim!
Pirates scurry to save the ship.
Tia Dalma appears on deck. Unlike those around her, she is calm and serene.
She tosses her crab claws down onto a barrel head. Learns over them and smiles.
She murmurs an INCANATION. Moves the claws around in an intricate, repeating pattern.
Elizabeth and Will stare at her - - what is she doing? The ROAR is now OVERWHELMING; Elizabeth turns away, sees - -
ANGLE - FROM BELOW. a huge WATERFALL is revealed - - it looks to be THE EDGE OF THE WORLD.
Elizabeth whirls to Barbossa.
ELIZABETH
You're a fiend! You have led us to our doom!
BARBOSSA
Now don't be so unkind, my child after all, ye might not survive the trip these may be the last friendly words you hear
He laughs. The prow of the Hai Pan sticks out into the air and then the entire ship TILT DOWN
Elizabeth screams Barbossa laughs louder all the Pirates scream as the ship plummets down into - -
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 16
BLACKNESS.
And SILENCE.
Out of the silence comes SINGING and LAUGHTER various pirate voices, distant, eerie "Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me"
And just as quickly as they came, the voice FADE, to Beckett replaced again by SILENCE
FADE UP ON:
A WHITE HOT SUN burns in a cloudless blue sky.
EXT. DESERT - DAY.
JACK SPARROW sits with his head lowered, alone in the dunes of a vant desert. A dry wind blows. This is Jack's purgatory.
sand in all directions, endless.
Jack drags himself to his feet.
he staggers to a rope lying in the sand. Picks it up and turns, the rope over his back. He leans forward and PULLS - -
His feet dig into the and; he drives forward but goes nowhere. The rope angles up behind him; Jack pulls but makes no progress, gradually sinking down
COME AROUND TO REVEAL: at the other end of the rope is the Black Pearl. Towering above him, stranded in the middle of the vast desert.
Jack keeps tugging, to no avail.
Nearby are several SMOOTH ROUND STONES. Weirdly, the stones begin to rock back and forth, like eggs hatching. Cracks appear and the stones transform into crabs.
One of the crabs turns toward Jack, watching him. Clicks, annoying, like it's laughing.
JACK SPARROW
Perfect. What would my torment be without freaky crabs here to mock me?
Jack grabs a handful of sand and flings it. the crabs flinch back. Jack collapses into the sand.
JACK SPARROW (CONT'D)
I'm talking to a crab.
The crab scuttles forward looks at Jack. Scuttles sideways, looks at the ship.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 17
The crab scuttles away
EXT. DESERT - DAY
Jack Sparrow lays in the sand. Baking in the sun, exhausted.
A SHADOW MOVES OVER HIM - -
Jack blinks, looks up.
ANGLE - ABOVE JACK, the PROW of the Black Pearl. Moving.
Jack stand up, sees - - the Black Pearl drifts, floats across the sand, carried on the back of a thousand chittering crabs.
Jack raises an eyebrow.
JACK SPARROW(CONT'D)
Strange.
EXT. DESERT - SHORE - DAY
In the water float broken bits of wreckage, all that is left of the hai Peng. Pintel and Ragetti share a wooden plank as the paddle. Ragetti wears a wide grin.
PINTEL
Lestways it wasn't us what wrecked the ship this time - - what is it with you?
Ragetti cowers, the grin disappears.
RAGETTI
I thought it was fun.
PINTEL
It wasn't fun! (tries to scowl, gives up) Maybe a little, the tilting over part - -
RAGETTI
- - and the big splash at the end!
Pintel splashes him, Ragetti splashes back. Elizabeth, Will, Barbossa, Gibbs, Tia Dalma pull themselves onto shore.
GIBBS
Truly a god-forsaken place.
ELIZABETH
How do we find him?
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 18
BARBOSSA
He's here. Every sailor what Davy Jones has banished to the depths is here, Somewhere.
WILL
And why should we bother? Now where trapped. Just like him.
TIA DALMA
Jack Sparrow is closer than you think.
All eyes turn to Tia Dalma. Behind her, an amazing sight - -
JACK SPARROW APPEARS in the sky, at the bow of the Black Pearl, riding over the desert sand, toward the water. Carried on the back of ten thousand crabs.
GIBBS
Well I'll be keel-hauled and dipped in sheep shit! Jack!
Jack waves. Grabs a rope, swings down onto the sand.
JACK SPARROW
Thank goodness I've found you! Is everybody all right?
the ship keeps going behind him, toward the water. jack treats it like the most normal thing in the world.
JACK SPARROW(CONT'D)
Will! Gibbs! Pintel and, uh, you with the one eye Tia Dalma, lovely as ever. (come to Barbossa) Now here's a surprise.
BARBOSSA
Jack, Jack it does me heart good to see you halfway along the path to hell
He grabs Jack, puts a knife to Jack's throat.
BARBOSSA
(CONT'D)
I've a mind to take you the rest of the way! (low) It's not far, I can attest to that!
ELIZABETH
Stop! We're here to rescue him.
Jack turns as Elizabeth's voice. Focuses on her. Pushes Barbossa aside, unconcerned.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 19
Barbossa frowns at being suddenly ignored.
JACK SPARROW
Dear Elizabeth. You came to rescue me. How uncommonlygenerous of you.
Will watches the exchange closely.
ELIZABETH
In payment for your heroic actions, in saving us all from the Kraken. Our score is level.
JACK SPARROW
It is now? Level.
Jack pointedly looks out at the desert. Does a three-sixty turn as he makes a "wind blowing over the sand" sound.
JACK SPARROW(CONT'D)
I don't feel rescued.(with some venom) And so the score is decidedly not level.
BARBOSSA
I guess you could look at it as we're in the midst of the rescue operation, at the moment.
JACK SPARROW
Looks to me as if the rescuers are in need of rescuing. And who says I want to Beckett rescued, anyway?
Jack strides away, Everyone is incredulous.
WILL
You're coming with us. We've gone to too much trouble.
Jack waves him away.
WILL(CONT'D)
Jack!
JACK SPARROW
(turns) Fact is, I don't. I'm perfectly happy. Here. It's very (tries to think of something good) Simple.
Will and Barbossa exchange a look.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 20
JACK SPARROW(CONT'D)
But if I do agree to help you out of this mess. it shall Beckett as nothing less than Captain.
Barbossa shakes his head.
BARBOSSA
I'm Captain on the return voyage.
JACK SPARROW
Then you shouldn't have misplaced your ship.
BARBOSSA
I see my ship - - right there.
He points at the Black Pearl. Jack looks in the direction of the Black Pearl. Squints, covers his eyes, pointedly searching, as if he can't see Barbossa's ship. Keeps squinting, keeps searching.
Barbossa sighs, losing his patience.
Jack squints some more, bobs up and down on his toes, keeps searching - -
BARBOSSA
(CONT'D)
All right! Only I knows the route home.
JACK SPARROW
That would make you - - the navigator.
BARBOSSA
Captain.
JACK SPARROW
Cook?
BARBOSSA
Captain.
JACK SPARROW
Cockswain.
Will steps between the two.
WILL
Enough. Jack is rightfully Captain of his ship.
Will draws his sword and slashes it to within a millimeter of Jack's eye - -
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 21
- - then whirls and stops it a millimeter from Barbossa's eys.
WILL(CONT'D)
(Will draws his sword) All decisions subject to my approval. Understood?
JACK SPARROW
As Captain, I am pleased to name as First Mate Master Barbossa.
WILL
(raises an eyebrow at Barbossa) Agreed?
BARBOSSA
I can deal with First Mate. (grins) It worked out fine for me late time.
Barbossa holds out his hand. Jack looks at it, grimaces.
BARBOSSA
(CONT'D)
An uneasy alliance?
JACK SPARROW
An unholy one.
EXT. BLACK PEARL
Sailing the darkness between worlds.
Below the surface of the water, bodies float past, each in its current.
Pintel and Ragetti watch over the side.
PINTEL
Eerie.
RAGETTI
(musing) I wonder what would happen if you dropped a cannonball on one of 'em.
They look at each other - - let's find out! Pintel starts to hunt for a cannonball. Barbossa, walking past, fixes them with a stern look.
Sheepishly, they return to just looking over the rail.
PINTEL
Beckett disrespectful, it would.
Ragetti spots something ahead: a small boat, coming toward them, lit Beckett a lantern's glow.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 22
RAGETTI
Another boat coming.
Elizabeth glances out at it, then peers more closely.
She recognizes the passenger.
ELIZABETH
Father! Here! Look here!
Swann glances over.
SWANN
Elizabeth!(concern) Are you dead?
ELIZABETH
No.
Swann nods at that. Elizabeth has to move along the rail of tha Pearl, toward the starn, to keep pace with him.
SWANN
I think I am.
ELIZABETH
How?
SWANN
(has trouble recalling) Beckett? He's war? He's waiting for the pirates to gather and How odd. At the time, it seemed so important.
ELIZABETH
Come abord! (to the others) Cast out a line! (to Swann) Come back with us!
Crewmen prepare a line, too slowly for Elizabeth. She grabs it from them, casts it out. It lands neatly in Swann's boat, but he makes no move toward it. Due to the action of the two vessels passing, it begins to slip toward the edge of the boat.
ELIZABETH(CONT'D)
Take the line!
SWANN
(suddenly; this is important) Elizabeth.
She gives him his full attention.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 23
SWANN(CONT'D)
When I would reprimand you to obey the rules, it was because I did not want you to ever be unhappy. But I should have recognized in your willfulness your courage. I am proud of you, Elizabeth.
The line is about to slip from Swann's boat.
ELIZABETH
The line! Catch the line!
The end of the line falls into the water.
ELIZABETH(CONT'D)
Father!
His boat is near the aft of the Pearl.
ELIZABETH
(CONT'D)
Come back with us! Please! I won't le you go!
She climbs the a rail. Will gets there slightly, ahead of Jack to haul her back.
SWANN
I'll give your love to your mother, then, shall I?
Elizabeth stares after him; nods slightly, accepting.
The light of the boat's lantern is swallowed up by the darkness.
She looks back to the others.
ELIZABETH
Beckett is waiting for the pirates to gather.
BARBOSSA
The Brethren.
ELIZABETH
We have to warn them. he has to die.
She move away. Will, Barbossa and Jack watch her go.
JACK SPARROW
I personally have no reservations about that plan.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 24
EXT. BLACK PEARL - MAIN DECK - SUNSET
Barbossa watches the sun hover over the horizon.
BARBOSSA
It's not getting to the land of the dead is the problem, so much as getting away.
Tia Dalma has wrapped herself in the rigging.
TIA DALMA
I feel it in my soul, if we do not escape this night, we will sail trackless seas, under starless skies, to our doom.
Gibbs, Elizabeth and Will are gathered around the charts Jack sits curled like a cat on one of the sails.
GIBBS
There's a cheery thought.
JACK SPARROW
At least our demise sounds poetic.
BARBOSSA
Aye, the charts give us a day to sail free.
Pintel and Ragetti sit opposite each other on a table.
Ragetti's wooden eye is out, rolling on the table with the sway of the ship.
Elizabeth reads from the charts.
ELIZABETH
"Up is down on the mirrored sea, when sun rise sets at the flash of green."
WILL
Flash of green?
BARBOSSA
On rare occasions, when the sun sets, there is a green flash on the horizon. they say - -
GIBBS/PINTEL
... that's the only time a soul can transition between worlds.
Gibbs and Pintel glare at each other, the two storytellers in competition.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 25
PINTEL
(to Ragetti ) Thinks he knows everything.
GIBBS
(to Jack) Thinks he knows everything.
Jack idly watches as Ragetti's eye roll scross the table;
ship moving with the waves
Jack has a sudden idea. Gets up, watches the eye. His movement is enough to draw the attention of the others.
JACK SPARROW
Hmn. When sunrise sets. Now there's a notion.
He moves over the railing at port. Everyone follows the ship tilts that way a little. Jack thinks - -
Jack suddenly races to the starboard side. Everyone follows - -
what is he up to? He looks out at the sunset. Suddenly seems to see something on the port side.
JACK SPARROW (CONT'D)
There, it moved!
ELIZABETH
What?
WILL
I don't see anything - -
But Jack runs across, and everyone follows, and the ship tilts a little more. Jack goes the other way, and Gibbs figures it out.
GIBBS
He's rocking the ship.
BARBOSSA
Aye, he's onto it. All hands together!
GIBBS
Time it with each swell!
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 26
Jack races back to port. Then to starboard. The ship tilts back and forth - -
PINTEL
He's going to tip us over!
Ragetti already has a rope ready.
RAGETTI
We tie each other to the mast, upside down, so we'll Beckett right side up when the boat flips!
Pintel thinks about it. Thinks about it Thinks about it - -
PINTEL
Good idea!
Will gets to the rail as the ship tilts, look out - -
The sun SINKS into the sea, a small orange flam left - -
- - Black pearl tilts further - -
They rock the Black Pearl completely over; waves fill the sails and cause the ship to continue to roll - -
CAMERA MOVES AROUND THE ROLLING SHIP, UNDERWATER - -
Chains, cannons, small objects fall down toward the depths.
Jack, Will, Elizabeth, Barbossa, Gibbs hold on, flat down away from the ship.
Pintel and Ragetti hold their breaths, cheeks bulging.
- - CAMERA TURNS, SO THE BALCK PEARL IS RIGHT SIDE UP - -
ON THE HORIZON, the FLASH OF GREEN shoots up!
AND SUDDENLY - -
THWUMP!
All of the water FALLS, dropping down onto the deck. The objects fall, the people fall, SLAMMING on to the deck.
The water washs away, and the Black Pearl bobs on the sea.
GIBBS
Blue skies! Mercy!
Will looks over - -
- - and now it's SUNRISE back in our world.
Pintel and Ragetti hang upside down, tied together to the mast.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 27
PINTEL
This was your idea, and the fact that I went along does not make you any less stupid.
RAGETTI
Well it don't make you no more smart neither.
PINTEL
Yes it does, my lack of stupid ideas makes me smarter by omission.
Elizabeth marvels at her clothes as the water drops away - -
they are dry.
ELIZABETH
Impossible.
Barbossa goes to the rail, squints at the horizon smile.
BARBOSSA
Feast on it, gents. That there is a sunrise.
GIBBS
Hah! Take what you can - -
JACK SPARROW
Give nothing back!
A brief moment of celebration as everyone grin at each other
Then EVERYBODY instantly draws their pistols at once, and point them each other - -
Will at Barbossa - -
Barbossa at Jack - -
Gibbs at Barbossa - -
Elizabeth at Jack - -
Jack at Will, draws a second pistol, at Barbossa - -
Barbossa draws a second pistol, at Gibbs - -
It's a moment everyone has been preparing for. A beat - -
And then EVERYBODY LAUGHS. They can't help but grin at themselves, lower their pistols
Suddenly the LAUGHTER STOPS and the pistols are raised again.
Pintel and Ragetti work to get themselves free of the mast.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 28
PINTEL
Get united, and find us our pistols! Hurry!
RAGETTI
Who would we point it at?
Barbossa takes charge.
BARBOSSA
All right, then. The Pirate Captains are gathering. They will meet at the hidden, and some say it might Beckett mythical, Shipwreck Cove.
WILL
Aye.
BARBOSSA
Honest man that I am, I reveal to you now< I am the person what called the Gathering of the Brethren. Jack, you nad I are going there, and they'll Beckett no arguing the point. Beckett there a person among us who will contest this path?
Everyone looks at each other.
JACK SPARROW
Safety in numbers. Excellent idea. Agreed.
Jack drops his pistol. Barbossa is surprised, suspicious.
Turns to Elizabeth.
ELIZABETH
You know I am against those who murdered my father. If this gathering is needed to fight them - - I want to Beckett there, Agreed.
She lower her pistol. Jack looks to Will, curious wht he will do.
TIA DALMA
What say you, Will Tur
