4. Free Jack

Freeing Jack

[Port Royal]

[Street]

[Will wakes up, to see that Moira was sitting beside him he looks at her clutching her hand in his tightly seeing there was a scratch on her neck that was bad looking he winces as he touches it]

''You were hurt? says Will

''Yes but it's only a scratch I was trying to help Elizabeth but I was not quick enough says Moira

[She gets up seeing the Devastation of Port Royal, the Harbor is dotted with burning and sunken Ships, buildings are razed and still smoldering. She sees Her Ship that is still intact seeing the blowing of the Silver Sails in the wind. she sighs in relief then she runs for Norrington's Office with Will following her...she busts through the doors armed with her sword.]

''They've taken her! they've taken Elizabeth! says Moira

[Norrington looks up at her seeing that she was okay he sighs in relief as Swan walks over seeing the wound on her neck]

''Dear Moira you are alright...says Swan

''Yes I'm fine but I tried saving Elizabeth but they were just too many of them...Please we must find her says Moira

[Norrington and Gillette among others, gathered around a map. the Map is so large it drapes over the Governor's desk, the far end supported by a chair.]

''We're aware of the Situation says Norrington

''We have to hunt them down and save her says Will

[Swan's s worry has made him short-tempered] ''Where do you propose we start? If you have any information that concerns my daughter, then share it! [Will is silent] ''Leave, Mr. Turner says Swan

[Murtogg has remembered something. He ventures it warily] ''That Jack Sparrow...He talked about the Black Pearl...says Murtogg

''Mentioned it, is more what he did says Mullory

''Still-says Murtogg

''We can ask him where it is-maybe he can lead us to it says Will

''That Pirate tried to kill Moira. We could never trust a word he said! says Swan

''we could strike a bargain says Moira

''No. the Pirates who invaded this Fort left Sparrow locked in his cell. Ergo he is not their ally, and therefore of no value [through with Will] ''We will determine their most likely course, and launch a search mission that sails with the tide...says Norrington

[Will angry and frustrated that nobody is listening to him slams the boarding axe into the desk, through the map]

''That's not good enough. This is Elizabeth's life says Will

[Norrington is quick to react, he throws a strong arm across Will's back and guides him roughly to the door.]

''Mr. Turner, this is not the time for rash actions. do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here who Loves Elizabeth. [Moira lowers her gaze sadly hearing this] ''Now, go home...says Norrington

[Moira sighs leaving the Office truly set on the way to find Elizabeth knowing who the person she needed to talk to...]

[Fort Charles-Jail Cells]

[Jack strains, trying to budge one of the bars. even with the damage from the cannon ball, it won't move. he hears the sound of the door latch-the door opens and Moira slips in, looks around. Jack lounges on the floor of his cell, apparently relaxed and unconcerned. Moira marches up straight up to the bars.]

''Are you familiar with that ship? the Black Pearl? says Moira

''Somewhat? says Jack

''Where does it make berth? says Moira

''Surely you've heard the stories? The Black Pearl sails from the Dreaded Isla De Mureta...an island that cannot be found-except by those who already know where it is says Jack

''The Ships real enough, so its anchorage must be a real place, where is it? says Moira

[She turns to hear the Cell Blockage door open and Will comes down seeing her she sighs irriated at the interruption]

''What are you doing here Moira? says Will

''I'm here asking Jack a question...says Moira

''Why ask me? says Jack

''Because you're a Pirate says Moira

''And you want to turn Pirate yourself? says Jack

[Angry Will rushes the cell bars grabbing them tightly] ''Never...they taken Miss Swan says Will

''So it is that you found a girl. [Moira flinches closing her eyes Jack smiles seeing her then turns to Will] ''Well, if you're intending to brave all and hasten to her rescue and so win fair lady's heart, you'll have to do it alone. I see no profit in it for me says Jack

[Will slams his fist against the bars in frustration. Jack is surprised at the outburst. Will thinks...makes a decision]

''I can get you out of here says Will

''How? The Key's run off says Jack

''[examines the cell.] ''I helped build these cells. Those are hook-and-ring hinges. the Proper application of strength, the door'll lift free. Just calls for the right lever and fulcrum...says Will

[Jack watches Will as he speaks and it dawns on him...Will is the spitting image of someone he's known in the past]

''What's your name boy? says Jack

''[Will gives him a puzzled look] ''Will Turner says Will

[Jack grins...] ''that will be short for William I imagine good strong name...no doubt named after your father right? says Jack

''Yes says Will

[He stands up] ''I'll tell you what, Mr. Turner. I've changed my mind. you spring me from this cell. and I swear on the pain of death, I'll take you to the Black Pearl. [sticks out his hand] ''Do we have an accord? says Jack

[Moira gives him a suspicious look. watches as Will shakes Jack's hand]

''Agreed...says Will

''Agreed! says Jack

''I'm coming with you says Moira

''No says Will

''NO! Says Jack

''Why not I am just as capable of fighting as you guys are...says Moira

[Will shakes his head placing his hand on her face she flinches in surprise at his touch] ''I can't let you get hurt too Moira...Elizabeth is important to me and I will get her back but I can't lose you too says Will

[She shakes her head stepping back as she looks at them both] ''You can't stop me besides I have the Ship that will get to her says Moira

''What Ship? says Jack

''My Father's ship the Duchess II Says Moira

''[Jack was stunned looking at the girl for the first time seeing the Heart shaped Pendent around her neck]

''So the Duchess II is your father's ship the Duke that passed away couple years ago says Jack

''Yes...We had another Ship named after My mother who died of sickness it was destroyed when My father died and so they have sent me his Ship He has given it to me says Moira

[Will looks at her then makes a chair his Fulcrum, and levers the long bench under the door of the cell. Pushes down it's hard work-but the cell door rises and then falls forward, crashing down on the bench and chair...Jack is impressed he steps out of the cell.]

''Hurry someone would have heard that says Will

[Moira heads for the door, Jack searches the desk, cupboards] ''Not without my effects says Jack

''We need to go says Moira

[Jack finds his Pistol, sword belt and compass, straps on the belt, checks the shot in his Pistol]

''Why are you bothering with that? says Will

''My business, Will. as for your Business one question, or there's no use going...This girl...what does she mean to you? How far are you willing to go to save her? says Jack

''[No hesitation] ''I'd die for her says Will

''Good no worries then says Jack

[Docks]

[The Duchess II Is sitting in the Bay Moira takes out a row boat that was sitting beside the docks Will and Jack were surprised]

''We're going to steal a ship? That ship? says Will

''It's not stealing if the Ship is mine in the first place...says Moira

''So breaking a man out of jail. Face it, Will, Moira you may say you'll never be a Pirate, but you're off to a rip-roaring start [smiling] ''My advice-smile and enjoy it says Jack

[The Boat bobs its way across the bay, dwarfed against the Duchess II. Will holds a stay line with Iron Fists]

''This is either Madness, or brilliant says Will

''Remarkable how often those two traits coincide says Jack

[The small boat nears the Rudder of the Much larger ship.]

[The Duchess II ]

[There's been a breakdown in discipline, about a dozen Navy Sailors are gathered together on the main deck, playing dice. Murtogg and Mullroy among them...Moira was a little angry that people were on her ship. Suddenly Jack and Will jump out, into the open. brandishing Pistols]

''Everybody stay calm, we're taking over the ship! says Jack

''Aye! avast! says Will

[Jack gives him a look. shakes his head. Moira giggles a little as she steps down the steps unlocking her cabin door as the Sailors all look at them-and then bursts out laughing...they grin, shake their heads. Jack stands there, grinning with them. but his gun is still level at them. the Lieutenant, Gillette, steps forward]

'You're serious about this...[seeing Lady Moira] ''My Lady...what's going on? says Lieutenant Gillette

''I am going to need my Ship in order to find Elizabeth and since The Governor and Norrington are taking forever in doing that I will just go find her myself with a little help says Moira

''You understand this ship cannot be crewed by two men and a girl. you'll never make it out of the Bay says Gillette

''My Father taught me how to steer a ship sir...says Moira

[He looks at her surprised as she begins getting the Ship ready to take off. Jack points his gun at the Lieutenant]

''Son, I am Captain Jack Sparrow and we will have no problem sailing this Ship says Jack

''My Lady, I'll not see any of my men killed or wounded in this foolish enterprise says Gillette

''Fine by me I don't want anyone getting hurt or killed which is why I brought my little boat, so you can all get back to shore, safe and sound says Moira

[He nods at her] ''Agreed. you have the Momentary advantage, Lady Moira...but I will have to tell Norrington about this says Gillette

''Doesn't matter what he does...The Duchess is My ship and I can do with it as I please...says Moira

''Will, short up the Anchor, we've got ourselves a ship! says Jack

[Sailors make their way down a rope ladder, crowd onto the Small Boat. Will pushes hard against the Windlass, to no avail...the Anchor is too heavy for one man. Moira notices..]

''Need any help? says Moira

[Will shrugs, as she helps him with the Windlass, and it turns. Jack's Pistol is on the Sailors the whole time.]

'I can't believe She's doing this says Murtogg

''[the Windless turns, bringing Mullroy into view] ''You didn't believe he was telling the truth either. says Mullroy

[The Windless turns some more, and there's Gillette] ''Do you have any idea, Moira, what you're doing? says Gillette

''Yes says Moira

[She looks at her Ship as the Silver Sails luffs and billows out. The Huge Ship inches forward slowly, she sighs grinning]

''Look there, Mates! We're underway [to Moira] ''You weren't kidding when you said that you knew what you were doing says Jack

''I told you my father taught me about this ship and how to run it...[she sighs sadly seeing Her father and Mother's names on the Wheel] ''They both put there heart and soul into making these ships says Moira

[Will is looking at her seeing how sad she was about the mention of her two lost parents.]

[Port Royal]

[Norrington moves alone, concentrating on a Manifest. alongside him is Governor Swan, who glances over-sees A Small boat headed toward them riding low in the water, overloaded with Sailors beyond that, the Duchess II sails-for open waters.]

''Commodore-says Swan

''A Moment says Norrington

''But-says Swan

''Please says Norrington

''Damn it, man. It appears someone is stealing The Duchess II Says Swan

[Norrington glances out at the bay. sure enough, the Duchess II is on the move, Norrington takes a brass telescope from his belt, opens it, trains it on-The main deck. He picks out Moira, Will and Jack he was surprised]

''Rash, Miss Wickfield and Mr. Turner, too rash [to Swan] ''It seems Moira is taking her Father's Ship...says Norrington

''What...how can she possibly know how to steer one...bring them back here at once says Swann

[Caribbean Sea]

[The Duchess II cuts across the waves. Jack is at the wheel, Will tightens a line, moves back astern. Moira is sitting down at the steps sharping her sword with a wetstone]

''For a Young girl whose Father is a Duke you know exectly what you are doing Miss Wickfield says Jack

''Like I said After my mother died it was just me and Him and he would take me everywhere he goes on his trade routes always visiting places like Spain, Singapore, England and Italy He managed to teach me all the languages and even taught me how to fight then He made a decision not to take me with him anymore leaving me in Port Royal to live says Moira

''That was when he was attacked by Pirates...did they even tell you why they attacked him? says Jack

[She turns to look at Jack] ''No only that the there was a storm and that there was cannon fire and the Pirates rushed aboard the Duchess I taking it apart stealing what they could...they never did say how He died? says Moira

[Will was listening to the story looking at Jack seeing there was something in his eyes that made him believe that he may know what happened...]

''[to Will] ''For a man whose made an industry of avoiding boats, you're a quick study says Jack

''I worked passage from England as a Cabin Boy. after my mother passed I came out here...Looking for my father. says Will

''Is that so? says Jack

''My father. William Turner? [Jack says nothing. Will has lost the patience for guile] ''I'm not a simpleton Jack at the Jail-it was only after you learned my name that you agreed to help since that's what I wanted, I didn't press the matter but now...you knew my father...says Will

[Jack considers his reply. Moira is listening in surprise]

''I knew him. Probably one of the few who knew him as William Turner. Most everyone just called him Bill or Bootstrap Bill says Jack

''Bootstrap? says Will

''Good man. Good Pirate. and clever-I never met anyone with as clever a mind and hands as him. When you were puzzling out that cell door. It was like seeing his twin. says Jack

''[angry] 'that's not true says Will

''I swear, you look just like him says Jack

''It's not true that my father was a Pirate says Will

''Figured you wouldn't want to hear it says Jack

''He was a merchant Marine! He was a respectable man who obeyed the law, and followed the rules-says Will

''[Laughs] ''you think your father is the only man who ever lived The Glasgow life, telling folk one thing, and then going off to do another? There's quite a few who come here, hoping to amass enough swag to ease the burdens of respectable life. And they'll merchant marines says Jack

''My father did not think of my mother-his family-as a burden says Will

''Sure-because he could always be Pirating says Jack

''My father-[He pulls out his sword angry] 'was not a Pirate says Will

[Will points his sword at Jack who gives him a disbelieving look, Sighs]

''Put it away, Will. it's not worth getting beat again says Jack

''You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement. in a fair fight, I'd kill you says Will

''then that's not much incentive for me to fight fair is it? says Jack

[He kicks a lever on a wench. The sail boom whips around and slams Will in the chest-Sweeping him off the ship..His sword clatters onto the deck. Will dangles above the water. Moira gasps worried that things will get to far she runs up to the wheel to stop Jack only for him to shake his head at her then he picks up Will swords poking it at him with it. Will hands away from the blade, to the end of the boom] ''As long as you're just hanging there, pay attention, Must, should, do, don't, shall, shall not-those are just suggestions there are only two absolute rules [ticks them off on his fingers] ''What a man can do. and what a man can't do [Will looks away, not interested] ''for Instance, you can accept that your father was a Pirate and still a good man...or you can't. Now me, I can't Sail this ship to Tortuga by myself...[Will looks alarmed] ''but I can't just let you drown...says Jack

[Jack swings the boom back in. Will drops to the deck. Jack holds the hilt of the sword out. Will takes it. glares at Jack, considers what he'll do next. Jack watches him coolly. Will turns and strides to his spot, on the deck, sits down, and resumes sharpening his sword Jack breathes silent sigh of relief. notices his hand is shaking he takes the wheel.]

''Tortuga? says Moira

''Oh-did I forget to mention that? says Jack

[Tortuga]

A dank and dirty port, where the tides seem to have swept together the scum of the Caribbean - pirates, privateers, prostitutes, thieves, and drunkards. With its cantered, rotting docks, weather beaten buildings, and odd assortment of livestock running free - a donkey, chickens, etc. - it is far less civilized than Port Royal. Jack Moira and Will move through the crowd. A Red Headed woman turns her head - she has noticed Jack.

''We need a crew. We can manage the Ship between the islands, but the open sea, that's another matter-says Jack

Suddenly the Redhead Slasp Jack, hard. Satisfied, she turns and strides off. Will ignores her.

''Just do it Quickly says Will

[Rubbing his jaw]

''Don't worry. I've already got my Quatermaster-there! says Jack

Jack leads Will toward a pub: the Faithful Bride, the emblem over the door a politically incorrect painting of a smiling woman holding a bouquet in her chained-and-manacled hands. Jack pulls open the door; Will goes inside passing a pretty Asian woman coming out - she sees Jack and immediately Slaps him, cursing something in Chinese. Jack backs away -

[The Faithful Bride]

Jack closes the door on the woman, joins Will. They take in the place - it is populated with a slightly higher class of scum. Jack spots a Bartender, smiles, moves forward - -and is suddenly Decked by a waitress. This is Anamaria, tall, strong, tough; she didn't spill a drink off her tray.

''You stole my boat says Anamaria

''Anamaria! Have you seen Gibbs? I need to get together-[She slaps him again. Moira shakes her heads for the bar. Jack gets up.] ''Borrowed. Borrowed your boat without permission says Jack

[ AnaMaria charges. Jack backs away, puts a table between them. She chases him around the table, still carrying the try]

''My Dory. The Jolly Mon. where is it? says AnaMaria

''Safe! at Port Royal. with the Royal Navy

''that boat is my Livelihood! says AnaMaria

''You'll get it back. or one better says Jack

''I will says AnaMaria

Away from them, a Patron calls for his food. AnaMaria scowls at Jack, moves away - comes back for. one more Slap!

''Jack! over here! [At the Bar, Moira has spoken to the Bartender. Jack arrives with Will rubbing his chin] ''He know Gibbs says Moira

[The Bartender nods yes then nods out back. then Produces a water bucket from behind the Bar Jack and Will exchange a look and Jack takes the Bucket they walk away as Moira follows them.]

[The Faithful Bride-Rear]

A drunken man lays in the mud, having a friendly conversation with two pigs. He wears an old tattered Navy jacket. A sudden Spray Of Water splashes across his face, revealing old Joshamee Gibbs (the man who told pirate stories to Elizabeth when she was a child). He sputters and roars:]

''Curse you for breathing, you slack-jawed idiot [recognizes Jack and Moira in surprise] ''Mother's love Jack...Lady Moira you know better than to wake a man when he's sleeping. it's bad luck! says Gibbs

Well, fortunately, I know how to counter it. The man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping a drink, and the man who was sleeping it drink it while listening to a proposition says Jack

''Aye, that'll about do it [Jack helps Gibbs to his feet-and then Gibbs is hit with a second wave of water. Will stands there with the bucket.] ' Blast it, I'm already awake! says Gibbs

''I know. that was for the smell says Will

[Moira places her hand over her mouth and begins to giggle in her hands as Gibbs shrugs knowing it was true that he needed a bath]

[Faithful Bride]

[Jack and Gibbs sit at a table in the shadows, a Single candle illumining them, speaking in hushed voices. Will is away from them, at the door, hand on sword, keeping a look out staring at Moira who was standing beside him seeing she has been quiet since they set off on this journey A Tankard of Ale is set down in front of them. Gibbs lifts it to take a swing]

''Just the one says Jack

[Gibbs pauses. he takes a dainty sip] ''Make it last then. Now, what's the nature of this venture of yours? says Gibbs

''First-have you found me a crew? says Jack

''Oh, there's a hard tale. Jack. Most of the decent Pirates in town won't sail with you-seem to think you're a Jinx says Gibbs

''Now where, I wonder would they have gotten that idea? [Gibbs evades answering by taking a long sip from his Ale. Jack leans forward. Gibbs leans toward him.] ''I'm going after the Black Pearl says Jack

Gibbs straightens up like he's been hit. He stares. He reaches for the drink as if to down it - but then sets it back down. He leans forwards again. Jack has not moved.

''Say it again? says Gibbs

''I'm going after the Black Pearl. I know where it's going to be and I'm going to take it says Jack

''Jack, it's a fool errand. You've heard tales they tell about the Pearl says Gibbs

''Aye, and that's why I know where it's going to be, and that's why I know what Barbossa is up to. all I need is a crew. says Jack

''[shakes his head] ''A Fool's errand says Gibbs

''Not if the Fool has something Barbossa wants. Something he needs says Jack

''And you've got that, have you? says Gibbs

Jack, as he smiles enigmatically, and shifts his eyes' - behind him, Will, still on guard, Moira is standing beside him as a Sailor comes over touching her face and placing his hands on her waist she pulls away smacking him across the face...Will seeing this Takes his sword out and points it at the Man forcing him to back away from her]

''Just a little bit of fun...She's a tasty looking one says Sailor

''Leave her alone says Will

[Jack looks at Will knowingly]

''Back there, Guarding the door is the Son of Old Bootstrap Bill Turner. says Jack

[Gibbs eyes widen over the edge of the Tankard. Peers at Will then smiles, with more missing teeth then good ones

''Well, Lookee there. I think you may be onto something, Jack [considers, nods] ''There's bound to be Sailors on this rock crazy as you. I'll find some men. says Gibbs

[Gibbs downs his drink, slams the Tankard on the table. Another Man walks over to Moira seeing her grabs her wrist and pulls her away from the wall towards the stairs she struggles kicking him between his legs making him scream in pain...Will reacts to the sound, draws both sword and dagger, whirls on anyone who moves towards Moira again she was startled as his arm wraps around her waist pulling her towards him...]

''Who ever touches her again will come through me...says Will

''Will...it's okay says Moira

''No it's not okay...these men want nothing more then to touch you and take you to bed with them...I will take care of you until we got off of Tortuga says Will

''Thank you Will says Moira

[He sighs feeling how good she feels against him closing his eyes as he places his face on her head then he steps back remembering who it was that is in his arms she looks up at him]

''Come on let's get you back to the Ship says Will

''Kid's a bit of a stick, isn't he? says Gibbs

''That he is. says Jack

[Tortuga Dock]

[On The Decks, a Disheveled, motley and weather beaten group of about a dozen swabs stand in a ragged line-up]

''Feast your eyes, Captain, All of em. good sea faring men, faithful hands before the mast, everyone worth his salt-and crazy to boot says Gibbs

[Jack holds up a hand-enough. He moves down the line, Gibbs, Will and Moira at his side. then he notices AnaMaria in line, dressed like a man, He raises an eyebrow.]

''You owe me a boat. says AnaMaria

Jack nods, continues. One sailor is quite fat, another thin and sickly. Jack is not happy with his choices. He stops in front of Cotton, a short sailor with a large, colorful Parrot on his shoulder. Jack raises an eyebrow.

''Mr. Cotton. do you have the Courage and Fortitude to follow orders and stay true, in the face danger, and almost certain death? Answer me? says Jack

''He's a mute sir Poor devil had his tongue cut out -[Cotton opens his mouth to show this - Jack grimaces.] - so he went and trained the parrot to do the talking for him, nobody knows how. Nobody knows the parrot's name neither, so we just call it 'Cotton's parrot.

''Mr. Cotton. do you have the Courage and Fortitude to follow orders and stay true, in the face of danger, and almost certain death? says Jack

[Cotton lifts the Parrot off his shoulder raises it-]

''Wind In Your Sails! Wind In your Sails says Cotton's Parrot

''Mostly, that seems to mean yes says Gibbs

Cotton nods vigorously, lowers the parrot, and it goes silent. Jack shakes his head. Steps back.

''that goes for the rest of you! Danger and near certain death! [turns away] ''For we are to sail to Isla De Muerta to rescue the daughter of Governor Swan. an Equal share of the reward shall be-says Jack

Jack hears movement, looks back - several potential crew members back away in fright; first one, then another, turn and run, followed by more. Soon just a half dozen are left, including Cotton (with parrot) - and AnaMaria.

''Shut up, before you lose them all! says Will

''These are the only ones worth having [glances at the sky] ''and we're going to need them all of them says Jack

[He turns and walks away with Moira who was looking towards the sky seeing thunder clouds coming their way]

''If we are going to leave we need to do it know before that storm heads our way says Moira

''We will leave soon as soon as we get all the nesscery things we need says Jack

''I will wait on the ship...says Moira

[Gibbs sees her watching as she walks towards the Huge Dark blue ship recognizing it to be the Duchess II]

''That is the Duchess II...but its very bad luck to bring a woman aboard sir even if it is Miss Wickfield says Gibbs

''It would be far worse not to have her...because if it wasn't for her We wouldn't have a ship to sail says Jack

[Gibbs nods leaving with Jack]
