51 Now go. 52 They'll know you helped me. 53 What more can they do to me? 54 I take this with a promise. 55 I'll find a way to sever Jones's hold on you, 56 and not rest until this blade pierces his heart. 57 I will not abandon you. 58 I promise. 59 - Beckett? - Yes, they're signed. 60 Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company. 61 Bleurgh! 62 Will was working for Beckett and never said a word. 63 Beckett wants the compass. Only one reason for that. 64 Of course. 65 - He wants the chest. - Yes, he did say something about a chest. 66 If the company controls the chest, they controls the sea. 67 - A truly discomfiting notion, love. - And bad. 68 Bad for every mother's son what calls himself a pirate. 69 I think there's a bit more speed to be coaxed from these sails. 70 Brace the foreyard! 71 Might I enquire as to how you came by these? 72 - Persuasion. - Friendly? 73 Decidedly not. 74 Will strikes a deal, yet you were the one with the prize - full pardon. 75 "Commission as a privateer on behalf of England 76 and the East India Trading Company. " 77 As if I could be bought for such a low price. 78 - Jack, the letters, give them back. - No. 79 Persuade me. 80 You do know Will taught me how to handle a sword? 81 As I said, persuade me. 82 It's a curious thing. 83 There was a time I would have wanted you to look like that while thinking about me. 84 - I don't know what you mean. - I think you do. 85 Oh, don't be absurd. I trust him, that's all. 86 So you never wondered how your latest fianc? 87 88 Strange to come upon a longboat so far out in open water. 89 Just put as many leagues behind us as you can. As fast as you can. 90 And what are we running from? 91 That dress. Where did you get it? 92 It was found aboard the ship. 93 The crew thought it was a spirit bringing some omen of ill-fate. 94 - That's foolish. - Oh, yes. Exceedingly foolish. 95 It brought good fortune. The spirit told us, "Pull in at Tortuga", 96 and we made a nice bit of profit there. 97 Off the books, of course. 98 I imagine some of your crew may have jumped ship there. 99 - Why do you ask? - Captain! A ship's been spotted. 100 - Colors? - She isn't flying any. |
