Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom

Twenty-five year old Jack Sparrow is a clean-cut merchant seamanВ pursuing a legitimate career as a first mate for the EastВ India Trading Company. He sometimes thinks back to his boyhood pirating days, but he doesn't miss Teague's scrutiny or the constant threat of the noose.В Besides, he doesn't have much choice; he broke the Code when he freed a friend who had been accused of rogue piracy, and he can no longerВ show his face in Shipwreck Cove./DIVВ В В В WhenВ Jack's ship is attacked by pirates and his Captain dies in the altercation, Jack suddenly finds himself in command. But the wily sailor's skillful negotiations with the pirate captain--who turns out to be a woman from his past--result in a favorable turn-out that puts Jack in line for official promotion. В В В В After making port in Africa, Jack is summoned by Cutler Beckett, whoВ makes him Captain of a ship called the Wicked Wench. BeckettВ gives Jack an assignment. He has heard a legend about a mysterious islandВ namedВ Zezura whose labyrinthine bowels are said to contain aВ glorious treasure. Beckett suspects that one of his house slaves, a girl named Aisha, is fromВ Zezura. HeВ asksВ Jack to take her along on his voyage and seduce her into divulging the island's whereabouts. In payment for his services,В Beckett promises Jack a share of the treasure. В В В В But this task isn't as easy as Jack initially believes. He begins to fall for Aisha, andВ after winning her trust, heВ takes her back toВ Zezura and reports to Beckett that he found nothing. Furious with Jack for his failure, Beckett orders Captain Sparrow to make up for the loss by transporting a new cargo--slaves. Jack wants to refuse, butВ he has no leverage. He reluctantly agrees andВ sets out for the Americas.В В В В A few days into theВ voyage, Jack reaches a breaking point. He can't in good conscience continue with the journey, so heВ sails to Zezura and sets the slaves free. But Beckett is prepared forВ this;В an EITC ship is watching Jack's every move andВ intercepts theВ Wicked Wench, ordering her back to Africa.В Having lost yet anotherВ lucrative venture, Beckett wants toВ hitВ Jack where it hurts the most. SoВ he brands Jack as a pirateВ and then sets fire to the Wicked Wench. DIVВ В Full of love for his ship, Jack dives into the ocean and swims out to the sinking vessel, but he can do nothing toВ quell the flames. The ship starts to go down, and he goes down with her. At the moment before he loses consciousness, a familiar squid-like faceВ appears.В In a last-ditch effort, Jack decides toВ take a chance. Maybe he can bargain with Davy Jones and somehow get his ship back. . . . Jack Sparrow is a merchant seaman for the East India Trading Company. His ship is attacked by pirates and he is suddenly in command. He then is made commander of the ship the Wicked Wench, by Cutler Beckett who sends Jack on a voyage to an island called Zerzura to find treasure
