"Then it's settled," Captain Norrington said as everyone stood around the
Black Pearl's deck, deciding what was to happen next. Before the
discussion, bandages had been wrapped around Sarah's arm and Will and
Jack's hands. Elizabeth had come aboard and Sarah now wore a clean, dry
dress. Sarah had also filled everyone in on how she escaped from the
Defiant. "We head back to Port Royal as soon as possible," He paused and
looked over at Jack.
"Jack I do believe is pardoned by the governor," He said before looking at Henry. "But you have not and as you are a pirate and under law you are to be sentenced to be hung," He told him. "No," Sarah spoke up and stepped over towards Henry. "You cannot do this, Henry is a good man," She said, looking around at everyone. "He didn't even want to be a pirate," She told them. "Then why was he on the Defiant?" Norrington asked.
"Don't you know what happens to betrayers and mutineers - they get marooned on an island with a pistol and one shot," Sarah told him and placed a hand on Henry's arm. "What kind of life would that have been? He had better chances staying on board," She said. "There is no way that you can hang him - he is a good man," She told Norrington.
"I do not wish to hang him but the law -" Norrington began. "Then don't," Sarah interrupted him. "Very well, but he is a pirate none the less if he is not to be hung then the law states he must spend the rest of his life in a jail cell," He said. "This man saved my life - hang the law!" Sarah exclaimed. "Why can't you just let him go - please, for me?" She asked. "The only pirates who are to be excused - by order of the governor himself, is Jack Sparrow and his crew, I'm sorry," Norrington told her.
"First of all mate, it's Captain Jack Sparrow and second," Jack paused and looked over at Henry. "I'd like to have him on my crew," He said and Sarah gave Jack a one-armed hug. "Thankyou Jack, thankyou," She thanked him before returning to her place between Will and Elizabeth. Henry also thanked Jack happily, as he knew in his heart that the Black Pearl would be a million times better than the Defiant.
The Defiant. At the moment it sat alone, unmanned and unowned. Jack glanced over at it for a few moments before turning to Anamaria. "Well, years ago I promised you a ship, now see that one?" He asked as he pointed at it. "There you have it," He said. "It's true you promised me one but the Pearl's my home now," Anamaria said. "Of course, if you couldn't bear to leave the Pearl and its wonderful captain, you could sail under my command and I'll have the makings of my very own fleet," He said. "Done."
With everything sorted Norrington and his men were dropped at the Flier. Anamaria and a few of Jack's crew went aboard the Defiant. Will, Elizabeth and Sarah stayed on board the Black Pearl, to travel back to Port Royal. As the Black Pearl began to leave Isla de Muerta Sarah stood, watching it shrink into the distance. "Are you ready to go home?" Will asked her from behind and she turned around and nodded. "I am ready to go home."
