" …for your willful commission of crimes against the crown. Said crimes being numerous in quantity and sinister in nature, the most egregious of these to be cited herewith – piracy, smuggling…" Jack, Will, Elizabeth, Katherine and Noorington were all back at port Royal but Jack want in a rush to be back. Will and Katherine were both excused for their "crimes". But not Jack. "This is wrong." Elizabeth began to tell her father and Noorington. They weren't paying attention. "…impersonating an officer of the Spanish Royal Navy, impersonating a cleric of the Church of England…" Jack smirked at that statement "Ah yes. Those were some good times mate. "…sailing under false colors, arson, kidnapping, looting, poaching, brigandage, pilfering, depravity, depredation, and general lawlessness. And for these crimes you have been sentenced to be, on this day, hung by the neck until dead. May God have mercy on your soul." Will and Katherine walked up to the Commodore and Elizabeth. Norrington eyes shot to Katherine who was in a lovely gold and white gown. "Good morning Katherine" Norrington said softly. "That Ms. Tann…. Turner Commodore." Katherine said sourly. "Please stop this" Elizabeth asked for the final time.
"Governor Swann . Commodore. Elizabeth . I should have told you every day from the moment I met you. I love you." Will said. The commodore and Elizabeth's father looked shocked at Wills boldness, as did Elizabeth. The executioner was just about to pull the rope for Jack to be hung when Elizabeth noticed Cotton's parrot. She caught on quick to what was happening when finally she said "I cant breath" and fall down. Within the crowd Katherine and Will said "Move" and pushed to people out of the way. Will threw his sword as Jack fell through, the sword was stuck into the wood so Jack has a foothold; after a while for Will fighting around a very worried Jack who only had 3millimeters between him and sudden death Jack is freed. Katherine also gets in on the action she is fighting with a soldier and meets up with Jack and Will at the top of a tower where they are cornered by Norrington's men.
" I thought we might have to endure some manner of ill-conceived escape attempt but not from you two" Norrington said to Will and Katherine.. "What can I say. I have a thing for pirates" Katherine said. "On our return to Port Royal , I granted the both of you clemency. And this is how you thank me? By throwing in your lot with him? He's a pirate!" Elizabeth's father said. Katherine retorted by saying "And a wonderful kisser" Jack smiled and said "I can argue with that mate." Norrington sneered. "And a good man." Jack pointed to and himself proudly, mouthed "That's me." Will continued, "If all I have achieved here is that the hangman will earn two pairs of boots instead of one, so be it. At least my conscience will be clear." Katherine pressed herself right up against Norringtons sword and whispered "three" while holding up three fingers. Norrington gently moved Katherine out of the way so his sword was on Will and said "You forget your place, Turner." Will took at step forward o he was now pressed against the sword and said "It's right here…between you and Jack ." Elizabeth stood right next to Will and said " As is mine." Noorington was shocked. As was her father. "Elizabeth ! Lower your weapons. For goodness' sake put them down!" All the solder slowly lowered their weapons. Noorington stared at Elizabeth and said "So this is where your heart truly lies, then?" "It is" Elizabeth answered. He then turned to Katherine and said
"So this is where your heart truly lies, as well?" Katherine nodded and said "Uh…. Yeah" Katherine pointed discreetly to Cottons parrot the let Jack know that he was not alone. Jack then spoke up and said with his arm around Katherine and pulled her along with him saying "Well! I'm actually feeling rather good about this." to Governor Swann "I think we've all arrived at a very special place, eh? Spiritually…Ecumenically…Grammatically?" to Norrington "I want you to know that I was rooting for you, mate. For his girl not mine. Know that." Jack turned to Elizabeth and said "Elizabeth …it would never have worked between us, darling. I'm sorry. I am a one woman man. Unless Katherine would allow" "NO" Katherine said firmly Jack turned around and said " Will …nice hat." Will smiled and then looked at Katherine. Katherine smiled and walked up to him and gave him a loving sisterly hug. "I love you boy. I just want you to know that" Will smiled and said "I know. I love you too. We probably wont be seeing each other again will we" Will asked "Of course we will!" Katherine said "Don't you know about 'Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3?"
Everyone said "OH!" Jack pulled Katherine and yelled "Hey everyone! Stay in character!" Will said trying to hold his smile "right. Sorry John-- Jack" Jack sighed. And grabbed Katherine by the arm and yelled. " Friends! This is the day that you will always remember as the day that – " Jack tripped over the ledge and pulled Katherine down with him. A soldier went up to Commodore and asked "What's your plan of action? Sir?" elizabeths father then said " Perhaps on the rare occasion pursuing the right course demands an act of piracy, piracy itself can be the right course?" Norrorington smiled and then turned around and said firmly. "Mr. Turner" Will turned to Elizabveth and aid softly "I will accept the consequences of my actions."
Norrington unsheathed his sword and said "This is a beautiful sword. I would expect the man who made it to show the same care and devotion in every aspect of his life." Will smiled and said "Thank you." Gillet turned to Noorington and said "Commodore! What about Sparrow?" Noorington turned around and smiled saying "Well, I think we can afford to give him one day's head start." Governor Swann turned to Elizabeth and siad "So, this is the path you've chosen, is it? After all…he is a blacksmith." Elizabeth said "No" takeing off Will 's hat "He's a pirate." the Governor walked away as Iwll and Elizabeth shared a loving kiss. Jack and Katheirne were swimming in the water and Katherine was mad as hell "You could have at least given me some warning!" Jack and Katherine were pulled on aboard and Jack said "I thought you were suppose to keep to the code" Mr. Gibbs pulled Jack up and said "We figured they were more actual…guidelines." Annemarie put a coat around saying "Captain Sparrow …the Black Pearl is yours." "Ours" Katherine added. jack looked at her with a seductive smile , grabbed her and laid a great big kiss her. "I love ya mate lets jut face facts" All of the pirates said "awwwww" Jack had completely forgotten that there were twenty people staring at him " On deck, you scabrous dogs! Man the braces! Let down and haul to run free. Now...bring me that horizon." Jack began to hums and takes out his compass Katherine joined in " And really bad eggs…drink up, me 'earties, yo ho."
