On the Dying Gull
Carina was writing in her diary and next to her was Henry remembering his father with a necklace that he had given him when he was just a child. Soon, the other pirates approached the future couple.

Gibbs: So she's saying she's got the map, but she's the only one who can follow it?
Bollard: So we should shoot her?
Henry: Leave her be.
Ruby: She will take us to the Trident.
Gibbs: You've been saying that for hours.
Scrum: Two things we know are true, eh? Stars don't shine by day. And she forgot the donkey.
Ruby: (Lights her hair in blue fire)
Scrum: (Takes a step back, scared by the fire of Flame)
Gibbs: How can we go to a spot where don't exists on any map?
Carina: This chronometer keeps the exact time in London. I'm using it to make an altitude measurement to determine longitude. Only then will we find our exact spot at sea.
Cremble: So you expect to find the Trident with a timepiece?
Carina: Yes. My calculations are precise and true. I'm not only an astronomer, I'm also a horologist.
Jack: (Without understanding that word) No shame in that, dear. I mean, we all have to earn a living, eh?
Carina: No. No, I'm a horologist.
Scrum: So was my mum. But she didn't crow about it as loud as you.
Carina: Are you saying your mother was academically inclined?
Jack: More like, horizontally reclined.
Carina: Horology is the study of time.
Scrum: And she was always looking at her watch.
Cremble: I can vouch for that.
Jack: (To Carina) So no one can find the "X" but you, right?
Carina: No.
Scrum: And the donkey?
Ruby: (With her hair on blue fire) Scrum!
Scrum: (Takes another step back)
Gibbs: (Looking at the sea) Ship to the aft!
Henry: (Seeing the ship that Gibbs pointed) Salazar... Jack, the dead will not rest until they get their revenge.
Gibbs: (Frightened) Dead? No, no. The dead were never part of this deal.
Pike: We should have never followed a luckless pirate an a witch to sea.
Bollard: Right, that's it. Kill 'em all. (Points his gun at Jack)

The other pirates also pointed guns and swords at Jack, Henry, Carina and one of the pirates pointed it at Ruby.

Jack: Kill me and I'll be dead. And then the other dead... (Standing between Carina and Henry) ...won't be able to have their revenge... against me. Being dead.
Scrum: (Confused) What?
Henry: Which will anger them even more. He's right.
Jack: (Surprised by his attempted excuse to survive) That's right.
Carina: Are all pirates this stupid?
Ruby: Yes.
Everyone: (Nod and confirm Ruby's statement)
Gibbs: What are we going to do?
Jack: As Captain, might I suggest...

On a boat on the way to a nearby beach
Carina: Mutiny? You had to suggest a mutiny?
Henry: (Rowing) Carina, the dead are coming.
Carina: Well, I choose not to believe in supernatural nonsense.
Ruby: Do you not see what's behind us?
Carina: (Turns around and sees the Silent Mary)

On the Silent Mary
Salazar: (After viewing the boat through a spyglass, he gives a signal to his first mate)
Lesaro: (Giving the order) Drop them. Drop them.

The dead went down to the cellar of the ship and set about untying some shark carcasses to throw them into the sea and chase the boat in which Jack was.
