Tia Dalma: Davy Jones cannot make port, cannot step on land, but once every ten years....

She descends, carrying a round, glass jar, She scoops dirt into the jar and hands it to Jack, who grabs hold of it

Tia Dalma: Land is where you are safe, Jack Sparrow, and so you will carry land with you.

Jack: Dirt. This is a jar of dirt

Tia Dalma: Yes

Blue: A weapon to surpass Metal Gear

Will: W-What is a Metal Gear?

Blue:....I have no idea

Jack: Is the jar of dirt going to help?

Tia Dalma: If you don't want it, give it back.

Jack: No!

Tia Dalma: Then it helps.

Will comes to a decision and faces Tia Dalma.

Will: It seems we have a need to find the Flying Dutchman.

He smiles at her, wondering if she can help. Tia Dalma regards him, smiles knowingly back. She scoops up the crab claws and throws them again on the table.

Tia Dalma: A touch of destiny...

The crab claws were on the table, an archipelago matches the negative space pattern of crab claws. Waves pound a scuttled ship, the main deck slanted, run aground on the rocks just off shore.

Sails furled. In the glow of an oil lantern, Jack and Gibbs stare at the ship, clearly scared. Will is surprised.

Will: That's the Flying Dutchman? She
doesn't look like much.

Blue: Famous last words....

Jack: Neither do you, don't underestimate her.

Blue: Ouch

Gibbs is pointedly silent, so Jack looks at him to say something.

Gibbs: Must have run afoul of the reef.

Jack: [To Will] What's your plan?

Will: I row over, and search the ship until I find your bloody key.

Blue: What a great plan

Jack: Yes, if there are crewmen?

Will: I cut down anyone in my path.

Blue: Easier said than done....

Jack: I like it, simple and easy to remember

At the rail, Will glances at the cloth and the imprint of the key, then he stashes it in his pocket.

Will: I bring you the key, you give me the Compass.

Jack: Yes. If you do get captured, just
say, "Jack Sparrow sent me to settle
his debt." It might save your life.

Blue: Or get you killed, depends on Dave's mood

Pintel: Captain Jack Sparrow-

Jack silences Pintel with a look, Will shrugs and climbs over the side, to a waiting longboat. Jack looks over at Blue and Gibbs.

Jack: Douse the lamps.

Out on the ocean and in a longboat, Will begins to row, with his back to the scuttled ship. The Black Pearl, falls back, lit by lanterns. One by one, the lamps are doused. The last lamp is held by Jack, who grins, his capped teeth shining, as he turns it down.

His smile lingers, like the Cheshire cat, then is gone. The Black Pearl, the black ship with black sails is invisible on this black night.

Blue had a bad feeling, but didn't speak as he assumed that he was being paranoid. Then again, he thinks he might have a reason to be paranoid because this plan doesn't seem right.
