The wedding of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann is halted when Lord Cutler Beckett, chairman of the East India Company, arrives with arrest warrants for them, and also for Commodore James Norrington, who allowed Captain Jack Sparrow to escape. Norrington has resigned and disappeared after losing the Navy's flagship, HMS ''Dauntless'', in a hurricane while pursuing Jack. Meanwhile, Jack is visited by Will's father, Bootstrap Bill Turner, aboard the ''Black Pearl''. Bootstrap is now a crewman on the ''Flying Dutchman (Pirates of the Caribbean)'', captained by Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean). Jack previously bartered a deal with Jones to raise the ''Pearl'' from the depths; now Jack must join Jones' crew or be dragged to List of locations in Pirates of the Caribbean#Davy Jones' Locker by the Kraken (Pirates of the Caribbean). Beckett, meanwhile, promises to free Elizabeth if Will brings him Jack's magic compass which points to whatever the holder wants most.
