While on route, Will learns about Jack's past. They set sail for Isla de Muerta, a mysterious island Jack knows the pirates will go to in order to break the curse. After commandeering the HMS Interceptor Jack and Will recruit a crew in Tortuga with help from Jack's old friend, Gibbs, a former boatswain in the Royal Navy. Jack agrees only after learning Will's last name is Turner. When Commodore Norrington refuses to take immediate action, Will, who loves Elizabeth, persuades Captain Jack Sparrow to help him rescue her in exchange for freeing him from jail. Barbossa agrees but, employing a loophole in their agreement, keeps Elizabeth prisoner, believing she is the key to breaking an ancient curse they are under. She negotiates for the pirates to cease the attack on Port Royal in exchange for the medallion. Not wishing to reveal that she's the Governor's daughter, Elizabeth tells Captain Barbossa her surname is Turner. Elizabeth is captured and invokes parley an agreement ensuring one's safety until meeting and negotiating with the opposing side. That night, Port Royal is besieged by the Pearl, answering the medallion's mysterious call. Following a sword fight with Turner, Sparrow is knocked unconscious and jailed, set to be hanged the next day. He escapes and ducks into a blacksmith shop where he encounters Will Turner, now a blacksmith's apprentice and self-taught expert swordsman. Seeing Elizabeth fall, he rescues her, but Norrington recognizes him as the notorious pirate and he is arrested. Meanwhile, pirate Captain Jack Sparrow has arrived in Port Royal to commandeer a ship. The medallion she is wearing emits a mysterious pulse through the water. Before she is able to answer, her over-tightened corset causes her to faint and fall off the rampart, tumbling into the bay. At his ceremony, he proposes to Elizabeth.

Eight years later Captain James Norrington of the British Royal Navy is promoted to Commodore. She then glimpses a ghostly pirate ship (the Black Pearl), disappearing into the mist.

Elizabeth finds and hides a gold medallion she found around the unconscious Will's neck, fearing he would be accused of piracy. As Governor Weatherby Swann and his twelve-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, sail to Port Royal, Jamaica, their vessel, HMS Dauntless encounters a shipwreck with a sole survivor, the young Will Turner, floating among the wreckage.
