The cannons sound, cutting through the night like a swift ship cuts through water. He's heard them before: the unmistakable cannons-- these are the sounds of his love, as known to him as another man might know the breathing of his sweetheart in the night. He knows she is outside--his Pearl, his only...possessed by ones who know her only as a dumb, unfeeling ship. He's angry now. Curse the bars, curse the walls! He would have let the gallows have him, but now he's heard her voice again--he is a Captain again--Captain Jack Sparrow, and the Pearl would see him back!
