The British Armada moves steadily through the ocean like a great tide of wood. Thousands of soldiers line hundreds of decks. The ocean churns in various places as the Kraken follows. Onboard the lead ship, Lieutenants Gillette and Groves stand nervously at its head, peering out to the ocean. Behind them, several members of Davy Jones' barnacled crew stand like rigid statues, whilst others sharpen blunt instruments of pain and malice. In hush whispers the two officers discuss Norrington's mysterious disappearance following the news of Sao Feng's failure and Turner's escape. They speculate that there is something else, something more pressing that has drawn Norrington's wrath, causing the psychotic navy man to use the supernatural means of his new powers to vanish without a trace. As they talk there is commotion behind them, and Davy Jones' former crew begin howling and cheering. The brutish mutant pirate Rabens, who claims that the man is a traitor who has been seen before with Will Turner, drags through a lowly sailor to the main deck. This is all false of course, but everyone ignores the man's pleas for fear of their undead shipmates. Gillette, Groves and the rest of the sailors watch as the man is forced to his knees, his head pushed against a wooden stand and Rabens raises a huge, crude, jagged like club over his head. Groves begs them to stop, and another mutant pirate, Maldis, says that Norrington will be hearing of this insolence too. Rabens announces that this is the fate that will greet any other dissidents and traitors to the cause. He crushes the sailor's head with one blow, causing an outburst of laughter and whoops from the evil undead mutants, and bouts of vomiting from the human soldiers. Rabens is sprayed with blood but keeps laughing, and has the dead sailor's body strung up on the mast for all to see - a warning. Groves and Gillette stare at the sea, which is now running red with blood.

Back aboard the 'Flying Dutchman' an argument is in process. Will is berating Elizabeth for being so reckless and nearly getting herself killed, as well as nearly ruining their only chance of recovering the maps. Jack is less concerned, and is busy pouring over the maps with the blind man, whose name turns out to be Roland, and Gibbs. Their new recruit Jan is huddled down below, still in shock following his first ever near death experience. Elizabeth makes a snide remark about how she wasn't gallivanting around in brothels, before storming off. Will is left seething, before storming off himself, but to the opposite side of the ship, where Pintel and Ragetti are standing, quickly hiding whatever stolen goods they were showing previously.
Jack marks a spot on the map, and says that it will take about two days to get there on a normal ship... lucky for them the 'Dutchman' isn't a normal. It will take about a day. But he is still unsure how they access Davy Jones' locker once they reach the particular location in the ocean. Roland says that he has to perform a ritual to open the gateway, and then they can enter. Jack is extremely pleased with the way things are going.
It turns to night aboard the ship. Elizabeth is sat in a cabin looking downright miserable, whilst gazing into space. Will is sat in the crow's nest messing about with his pistol, and deflecting the apples being launched his way by Pintel and Ragetti.

'The First' vessel still snakes agonisingly through the ocean, clouded in the same mist. It's one legged captain still stands motionless on the deck, allowing the sea breeze to hit his weathered face. Bootstrap comes behind him and asks if they are still on course. The captain moves for the first time, nodding his head. Bootstrap murmurs under his breath, "My son, I only hope we are not too late".
