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.

Mentioned it is more what he did.

Ask him where it is!

He could lead us to it.

No.

The pirates left Sparrow in his cell,

ergo they are not his allies.

We will establish their

most likely course...

That's not good enough!

Mr. Turner, you are not a military man

or a sailor. You are a blacksmith.

And this is not the moment

for rash actions!

Do not think you are the only man here

who cares for Elizabeth.

Please.

- You! Sparrow!

- Aye?

You are familiar with

the Black Pearl?

- I've heard of it.

- Where does it make berth?

Where does it make berth?

Have you not heard the stories?

Captain Barbossa and his crew of

miscreants sail from the Isla de Muerta.

It's an island that cannot be found,

except by those who know where it is.

The ship's real, therefore its anchorage

must be a real place. Where?

- Why ask me?

- Because you're a pirate.

You want to turn pirate yourself.

Is that it?

Never!

- They took Miss Swann.

- So it is that you found a girl!

I see!

If you intend to brave all,

hasten to her rescue,

and so, win fair lady's heart,

you'll have to do it alone, mate.

I see no profit in it for me.

- I can get you out of here.

- The key's run off.

I helped build these cells.

These are half-pin barrel hinges.

With leverage and the proper application

of strength, the door will lift free.

- What's your name?

- Will Turner.

That would be short for William,

I imagine. Good, strong name.

No doubt named for your father.

Yes.

Mr. Turner, I've changed me mind.

If you spring me from here,

I swear, on pain of death,

I shall take you to the Black Pearl,

and your bonny lass.

Do we have an accord?

- Agreed.

- Agreed! Get me out!

- Hurry! Someone will have heard that.

- Not without my effects.

We're going to steal a ship?

- That ship?

- Commandeer.

We're going to "commandeer" that ship.

Nautical term.

One question about your business,

or there's no use going.

This girl, how far are you willing to go

to save her?

- I'd die for her.

- Good. No worries then.

This is either madness or brilliance.

It's remarkable how often

those two traits coincide.

Everyone stay calm!

We're taking over the ship.

Aye! Avast!
