Will knocked out Jack and rescued Elizabeth (she grabbed the medallion) in the confusion and brought her to the Interceptor while Jack was captured by Barbossa's pirates - and then he bargained with his life, trading his knowledge of whose blood they needed. Her hand that was spilled on the medallion had no effect! By blood undone." But the blood from a knife cut on The medallion with Elizabeth's blood - chanting: "Begun byīlood.

The pirates were actually 'undead' skeletal beings ("The moonlight shows us for what we really are.
Tthere was one way to end/break the curse for them: "All the scattered pieces of the Aztec gold must be restored and the blood repaid" - Elizabeth's medallion was the "final piece" or coin to be returned "the blood to be repaid" meant that Barbossa would use a drop of Elizabeth's (Turner kin) blood on the last coin to remove the curse: "That's why there's no sense to be killin' ya, yet". Any mortal that removes but a single piece from that stone chest shall be punished for eternity" - after Barbossa located the chest and stole the Aztec gold coins (and wastefully spent all of them), the ancient curse was placed on him and his greedy crew ("We are cursed men") - they were doomed to sail the seas as living corpses. So the heathen gods placed upon the gold a terrible curse. Blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wreaked upon them with his armies. Meanwhile, Barbossa explained to Elizabeth how the medallion was "Aztec gold, one of 882 identical pieces they delivered in a stone chest to Cortes himself. They sailed on to Tortuga to first assemble a motley buccaneer crew before proceeding after Elizabeth. Will Turner freed Jack from jail to help him rescue his "bonny lass" Elizabeth from the Black Pearl, by commandeering the HMS Interceptor (after tricking the Navy by switching ships).
She was mistaken for the daughter of pirate-scallywag William "Bootstrap Bill" Turner, Will's father, when she told Barbossa her name was Elizabeth Turner, and they kept her onboard when she turned over the medallion, and kept her captive on their trip to Isla de Muerta. M eanwhile, blackhearted Captain Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and his crew of "miscreants"-pirates from the Black Pearl (Jack's former boat), attacked Port Royal, summoned by Elizabeth's medallion, and kidnapped her. Sparrow was captured and locked up in jail, ready to be hanged by Elizabeth's pompous fiancee Commodore Norrington the next day.

He arrived just in time to save Elizabeth (with the medallion around her neck, emitting a pulse in the water) who had fainted and fallen into the ocean after the promotion ceremony. Swashbuckling, eccentric pirate Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) arrived in Port Royal, Jamaica, just as his dinghy sank at the dock in the film's clever entrance scene. In the film's main story, Captain Norrington was being promoted to Commodore in the British Royal Navy, and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) was Port Royal blacksmith's apprentice and expert swordsman, in love with spunky 20 year-old Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley). Future characters were introduced: 12 year-old Elizabeth Swann, daughter of Port Royal's (Jamaica) Governor Weatherby Swann (Jonathan Pryce), a rescued boy named Will Turner (with a mysterious gold pirate's medallion with a skull, secretly kept by Elizabeth), and ship's lieutenant James Norrington (Jack Davenport). The film's prologue was 8 years before the action of the main film - with the British vessel the HMS Dauntless encountering evidence of a pirate ship's (the Black Pearl with black sails) attack on a merchant vessel.
