Pintel: N-No one said anything about cold.
Ragetti: I-I'm sure there's good reason for us suffering.
Pintel: W-Why didn't the obeah woman just bring back Jack and Blue the way she brought back Barbossa?
Tia Dalma: Because Barbossa was only dead. Jack and Blue Sparrow be taken body and soul, to a place not of death, but punishment. The worst fate a person can conjure for himself, stretching on forever....that's what awaits in Davy Jones' Locker.
Elizabeth walks over, curious to know more.
Elizabeth: Why is Blue being punished? What has he done?
Tia Dalma: It's not what he has done....it's who he is related to
Elizabeth: To Jack? Is that why?
Tia Dalma: Not to Jack, but to someone else
Elizabeth: His....Mother?
Tia Dalma doesn't say anything, and just walks off.
Ragetti: I knew there was a good reason.
Will was currently using the map, he moves the circles within circles of the chart. In the centre, a drawing of a ship rotates. Will then turns to Huang.
Will: Nothing here is set. It can't be as
accurate as modern charts.
Huang: No. But it leads to more places.
Will stares after Huang as he moves away. Will's focus moves to one of the inscribed poems, and he couldn't help but frown.
Will: Over the edge, back, over again,
sunrise sets, flash of green. Do you care to interpret, Barbossa?
Barbossa: Ever gazed upon the green flash, Mister Gibbs?
Gibbe: I reckon I've seen my share. Happens on rare occasion, at the last glimpse of sunset, a green flash shoots up into the sky. Some go their whole lives and never see it. Some claim to have seen it who ain't. Some say-!
Pintel: -It signals when a soul comes back to this world from the dead!...Sorry.
Pintel slinks away as Gibbs glared at him, so he joins Ragetti.
Ragetti: Don't they get it? It's a riddle. Riddles are fun. "Over the edge, back, over again-!
Pintel: Riddles are not fun! The way it always goes is some poor bloke ends up dead, but just beforehand he realises no, I wasn't supposed to listen to the sirens, I wasn't supposed to take the pot 'gold, but by then it's too late and he dies in a horrible and ofttimes ironical manner, and in this case, you and I be the poor bloke!
By the time Pintel is done with his rant, all on deck are staring at him. Barbossa grins.
Barbossa: See, Mister Turner? We will find a way. It's not getting to the land of the dead is the problem, it's getting back!
Elizabeth stands beneath a lantern at the rail. She stares out at the dark sea, the icebergs are gone. Will joins her, the ocean before them is a mirror, stars above and below.
It was silent between Will and Elizabeth, until Will decided to break it.
Will: How long do we continue not talking?
Elizabeth: Once we rescue Jack and Blue, everything will be fine.
There are many ways to intrepret those words and Will runs through them all.
Will: Then we will rescue them.
Elizabeth nods, steps back from the rail, turns and leaves. Will leans forward, arms on the rail...and noticed far away, a line of white mist stretching to infinity.
