The Hai Peng crew stumble out of the surf, bedraggled and exhausted. Pintel and Ragetti still carry the ship plank they clinged to for safety.
"I hate boats. " Raggeti admuts
"Really? So, no more waxing all poetic 'bout how you runned away to sea and how you's only truly happiest at sea-" Pintel points out
"I still love the sea, it's boats that can't be trusted." Raggeti argues
I take in the utter desolation and deserted land.
"This be truly a God-forsaken place." Gibbs asmits
"I don't see Jack. I don't see anyone." Elizabeth says
"Not a soul." Marty,a small one says
"He is here. Davy Jones never once gave up that what he's took. And does it matter? We are trapped here, by your doing. No different than Jack." Will starts to raise his voice
"Witty Jack be closer than you think." Tia claims
All eyes turn to Tia Dalma. A dozen crabs appear, moving over the sand, scuttling sideways up onto her.
She balances them on her arms, cooing to them like pets. Behind her...Jack Sparrow appears in the sky, at the bow of the Black Pearl, riding over the desert sand, toward the water, carried on the backs of ten thousand chittering crabs.
"Slap me thrice and hand me to my momma! It's Jack!" Gibbs says shockingly
Elizabeth, Gibbs, and Will see Jack and grin,even Barbossa
has to smile. The ship splashes down into the blue sea that gas now calmed.Jack sloshes toward them, the Pearl behind him. Gibbs steps forward, arms wide, a grin on his face.
"Mister Gibbs!" Jack calls out sharply
Gibbs snaps to attention.
"Aye,Captain!" He replies
"I thought so. I expect you can account for your actions?" Jack carries on with nonsense
"Sir-?" Gibbs says clearly lost
"There has been a perpetual and virulent lack of discipline upon my vessel! Why? Why is that?"
Jack says raising his eyebrows and giving an mysterious grin
"Sir ... you're in Davy Jones Locker." Gibbs tells him
"I know that. I know where I am and don't think I don't."
"Jack..."
Jack freezes at the voice, turns. Crew members step back to reveal: Barbossa. Jack recognizes Barbossa.
"Ah ... Hector. It's been too long." Jack says smiling
"Aye, Isle de Muerta, remember? Ye shot me!" Barbossa says dramatically
"No I didn't. Tia Dalma, out and about! You add an
agreeable sense of the macabre to any delirium." Jack smiles wider
"He thinks we're an hallucination?" Will suggests
