Cardcaptor Torika: the Movie
Chapter 10: Keep to the Code
Elizabeth is helped from the boat as Li throws the last of the pirates' oars overboard, joining a long trail of oars leading away from the island.
Gibbs: Welcome aboard, miss Elizabeth. (reminding her) You used to be a lot more mini'ture.
Elizabeth: Mr. Gibbs! I didn't know you were still in the Navy.
Gibbs: I'm not.
Torika: But .. this is a Royal Navy ship!
Marty: Used to be.
The two take in the rest of the crew for the first time.
Torika: Pirates. Not more pirates.
Gibbs then turns to Will just when Li climbs up aboard.
Gibbs: (to Will) Hey, boy, where be Jack?
And here Elizabeth thought she couldn't be more perplexed.
Elizabeth: Jack? Jack Sparrow?
Will: (with finaliy) He fell behind.
He moves away. AnaMaria glances questioningly at Gibbs.
Gibbs: Keep to the Code.
AnaMaria: (an order to the crew) Weigh anchor and hoist the sails! Split quick, you dibbis!
Gibbs looks after Will speculatively.
Isla de Muerta - Caves - Landing
Jack leans on the oar, the pirates eyeing him. They part, and Barbossa steps out to see what they've found. He stares.
Barbossa: How the blazes did you get off that island?
Jack: When you marooned me on that God forsaken spit of land, you forgot one thing, mate. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.
Barbossa: Ah, then I won't be making that mistake again. Gents, you all remember Captain Jack Sparrow. Kill him.
He turns away. Pintel is happy, grabs his pistol, aims it ..
Jack: The girl's blood didn't work, did it?
Barbossa snaps back around, completely dumbstruck.
Barbossa: Hold your fire!
Pintel reacts with silent exasperation. So close. Barbossa glares at Jack, working it through .. and then he's certain:
Barbossa: You know who's blood we need.
Jack: I know who's blood you need.
Barbossa clenches his jaw. He hates this guy.
Interceptor - Main Deck
Torika walks right by the empty barrels of rum, she then spots yellow tail. Only one thing that she knows has a yellow tail.
Torika: KERO!
Kero then comes out of there startled, hitting his head on the side of the deck in the process.
Kero: Torika, don't do that again... Torika? That goodness that you're alright. We all came out here looking for you.
Torika: You mean that everyone else had stowed away?
Kero: (boasting) It wasn't that easy, first sneaking away from Sakura was very easy, but sneaking on board with every sailor including Norrington ... (notices a very angry Torika in front of him) Okay, so we made Sakura very worried. I wanted Yue to go to and from here to Port Royal to see her but, Tai hasn't been able to change into Yue.
Torika: We're in another world, so you two are bound to find out that you can't transform.
Kero: Actually, Tai is the only one who can't transform.
Torika: What?
Kero: We'll solve this mystery when we get back.
Torika: All right.
Kero: All right you can come out now.
Right on que, Torika's friends, Maddy, Tai, and Hana come out of their hiding places. Li then walks by noticing the stowaways. Gibbs then notices.
Gibbs: (refering to Maddy and Hana) Great, more bad luck.
Li: I told you that there would be stowaways.
He then noticed Torika walking toward the cabin, he follows her to find Elizabeth trying to put a bandage on her palm. They also hear a conversation going. They move to the ladder to see the what was going on.
Interceptor - Cabin
Elizabeth's frustration at trying to wrap a bandage around her hand only adds to her anger.
Elizabeth: What sort of man would trade a man's life for a ship?
Will: (shrugs) Pirate.
It's a botched job on the bandage; Elizabeth lets out an exasperated sound and yanks it off.
Will: Here ... let me.
She lets him take over the task.
Elizabeth: Thank you.
He begins to gently wrap her hand.
Will: (suddenly) You said you and Torika gave Barbossa my name as yours.
No response; Elizabeth keeps her eyes fixed on her hand as he wraps it.
Will: Why?
She looks up into his eyes levelly, but can't quite bring herself to say what she's thinking.
Elizabeth: (she knows exactly why) I don't know.
They hold the gaze; a slight smile begins to play on Will's lips, matched by Elizabeth .. she winces, pulls her hand back slightly.
Will: I'm sorry .. blacksmith's hands. I know, they're rough ...
Elizabeth: No ... I mean, yes. They are. But ...
She considers, smiles to herself: anything she says will reveal the truth ... and so she says the truth.
Elizabeth: Don't stop.
They lock eyes. Will ties off the bandage, but doesn't drop her hand. He runs his palm up her forearm ... passion takes them. They are in each other's arms, Will sweeps Elizabeth back, pressing her against the bulkhead, suspending the exquisite anticipation of the kiss. Her hand runs up his back, clutches at his hair. His hand on her waist slipping down to the swell of her hip. He breathes in the smell of her hair, her neck.
Will: Elizabeth ...
She takes his hand from her face ... brings it down to her neck then down her chest ... and then, despite not wanting to ruin the moment, she moves his hand across, over the medallion. She tugs it out and lays it in his hand.
Elizabeth: It's yours.
Will looks again .. then does remember.
Will: I thought I'd lost it the day they rescued me. (beat) It was a gift from my father. He sent it to me.
Elizabeth: (unlatches the chain) I took it. I had to tell you.
Will: Why?
Elizabeth: I wanted there to be no secrets between us.
Will: No. I mean, yes, but ... why did you take it?
Elizabeth: Because I was afraid you were a pirate.
That hits Will hard. He steps back away from Elizabeth.
Elizabeth: ... and that would have been awful.
Will stares at the medallion. He realizes:
Will: It wasn't your blood they needed. It was my father's blood. My blood. The blood of a pirate.
She lays a hand on his arm. He does not react.
Elizabeth: I'm sorry, Will. Forgive me.
He still does not look at her. He closes his fist around medallion, turns away; her hand falls from his arm. She watches him for a moment ... turns away and leaves.
Interceptor - Main Deck
Li, Torika and the others, who they didn't know were behind them, watch in shock. When they hear Elizabeth come up the ladder, they scatter so they don't get seen.
Black Pearl - Captains Cabin
Jack prowls the cabin, notes the sorry state of the fixtures. Barbossa stands next to his desk.
Jack: I'm disappointed, Barbossa. I expected you to take better care of my ship.
Barbossa: It's not your ship.
Jack: The very issue we need to rectify.
Barbossa: That's the terms you're negotiating for? You get the Pearl?
Jack: That's my terms .. and no negotiating, mate.
Barbossa: So, you expect to leave me standing on some beach with nothing more than a name and your word it's the one I need, and watch you sail away on my ship?
Jack: No. I expect to leave you standing on some beach with absolutely no name at all, watching me sail away on my ship .. and then I'll shout the name back to you. Savvy?
Barbossa: Which still leaves us the problem of me standing on the beach with naught but a name and your word it's the one I need.
Jack takes an apple from the bowl.
Jack: Well, of the two of us here, I'm the only one who hasn't committed mutiny ... so my word's the one we'll be trusting.
He sits down, puts his feet on the desk.
Jack: Though I suppose I should be thanking you ... because if you hadn't betrayed me and left me to die, I'd've had an equal share in the curse, same as you. Funny old world, ain't it?
Jack takes a big bite of the apple. Barbossa glares. Jack remembers his manners, offers a bite to Barbossa: 'Want some? No?' He shrugs, takes another bite...
Bo'sun: (from the dorrway) Captain, we're coming up on the Interceptor.
Black Pearl - Main Deck
Barbossa stares at the horizon, intent on his prey. Jack appears beside him; he doesn't like the look of things.
Jack: I'm having a thought here, Barbossa. I say we run up a flag of truce, I go over to the Interceptor and negotiate them returning your medallion. What say you to that?
Barbossa's just been waiting for him to stop talking.
Barbossa: Now, see, Jack. That's exactly the attitude that lost you the Pearl. Bodies are easier to search when they're dead. (to Bo'sun) Lock him in the brig.
To be continued...
