251 one, and that is promised to Jack Sparrow. 252 Even if Will succeeds, 253 do not ask me to endure the sight of my daughter walking to the gallows. Do not. 254 Perhaps I can ensure a fair trial for Will if he returns. 255 - A fair trial for Will ends in a hanging. - Then there is nothing left for you here. 256 Whoa! 257 Wait inside. 258 Captain? 259 Captain. 260 Evening, Governor. 261 Shame, that. 262 He was carrying this. 263 It's a letter to the king. 264 - It's from you. - No... 265 Elizabeth. 266 What are you doing? 267 - Where is she? - Who? 268 No doubt you've discovered that loyalty is no longer the currency of the realm, 269 as your father believes. 270 Then what is? 271 I'm afraid currency is the currency of the realm. 272 I expect, then, we can come to some sort of understanding. 273 - I'm here to negotiate. - I'm listening. 274 I'm listening intently. 275 These letters of marque are signed by the king. 276 Yes, and they're not valid until they bear my signature and my seal. 277 Or else I would not still be here. 278 You sent Will to get you the compass owned by Jack Sparrow. 279 - It will do you no good. - Do explain. 280 I have been to the Isla de Muerta. I have seen the treasure myself. 281 There is something you need to know. 282 Ah, I see. 283 You think the compass leads only to the Isla de Muerta 284 and so you hope to save me from an evil fate. 285 But you mustn't worry. 286 I care not for cursed Aztec gold. 287 My desires are not so provincial. 288 There's more than one chest of value in these waters. 289 So perhaps you may wish to enhance your offer. 290 Consider into your calculations that you robbed me of my wedding night. 291 So I did. 292 A marriage interrupted... 293 or fate intervenes? 294 You're making great efforts to ensure Jack Sparrow's freedom. 295 - These aren't going to Jack. - Oh, really? 296 To ensure Mr. Turner's freedom, then, 297 I'll still want that compass. 298 Consider that in your calculations. 299 I say it was Divine Providence what escaped us from jail. 300 And I say it was me being clever. |
