Rated: PG   Genre: Action/Adventure   User Review: ****
Pirates of the Cayman Islands - Calico runs into a family of vampires. Everyone is fighting for the treasure and power of the Cayman Islands.


PIRATE CALICO CRISS is a fictitious pirate that sails the Cayman Islands. All characters appearing in my screenplays are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Any resemblance to Captain Jack Sparrow the Disney character is purely coincidental PIRATE CALICO CRISS is better looking, stronger, younger and smarter, he also likes magic and wears calico skullcaps or calico bandannas at times more like the known real pirate Calico Jack. Then again their were many many pirates. My screenplays are registered with the Writers Guild of America, West as well as the U.S. Copyright office.



PIRATES SCREENPLAY

FADE IN:

EXT. THE YEAR 1710 GOTHIC TOWN NEAR GOTHIC CHURCH - DAY
                                                            
Scene starts floating above a large Gothic church on a
gloomy grey day. There is a steady crowd of townspeople
entering into the church. Most local farmers. A few are from
the upper class. Entering in through the large carved doors
of the church, and up the middle isle we come upon the
priests and nuns celebrating the "Blessing of the Stakes"
mass.

Music with a strong drumming is playing from above in the
balcony. Military men in the orchestra are playing the drums
and horns. Townspeople and nuns make up the vocals. Several
women are playing the violins. A nun is the lead vocalist.

Five priests surround the alter, blessing the wooden stakes
and a silver ball shot. The objects are being brought up
to the alter by rough looking men, dressed in long leather
duster coats. A group of nuns sitting in the front pews look
on.

Standing in the center of the altar is an older looking
priest, he is making the sign of the cross. His lips mouth
the words "In the name of the father, the son, and the holy
spirit". He raises up a cross above his head, as he blesses
the parishioners. A few ragtag children look on with
amazement from the side pews.

As the song is ending, the lead vocalist holds the lasts few
notes. She sways to the music. The swaying of her garment
gives way to the swaying of the waves in the next scene.
                                                            
 
EXT. CARIBBEAN SEA THE YEAR 1710 - NIGHT
                                                            
High seas, wind and rain is what the pirate ship "Pegasus"
is struggling through. Sharp flashes of lightning and the
low RUMBLE of thunder are distinctly heard.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - NIGHT
                                                            
Four pirates are tugging on a rope that winds through a
pulley and is cascading down the below deck stairwell. As
the rope pulls up, the top of a beautiful black coffin
appears from the stairwell.

PIRATES BRUIN and PIRATES KRISTEN appear in the stairwell

struggling, helping to lift the coffin. Above in the
riggings the main sails are ripped like rags as they flap in
the wind. Lightning flashes and harsh CRACKS of thunder
BOOM. The whole scene is rumbling.

The "Pegasus" is rocking in the sea swells. The pirates
struggle to secure the coffin. PIRATES MORTAN and PIRATE
THOR have pushed it up from below the deck. At last the
coffin is stable on the main deck.
CAPTAIN GRIST an older, hardened, looking captain with a
leather patch over his right eye, watches as the pirates
untangle the ropes from the wooden engraved coffin slipping
and sliding on the wet deck as they present it to him.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
Open it!
                                                            
The pirate crewmen look puzzled at this request, but obey
his order. Bruin kneels near the coffin and with his rugged
hands, he flips open the two hinged flaps that seals the
lid of the coffin shut. A sudden HISSING sound is heard and
a small amount of greyish vapor escapes in front of his
face. He cautiously lifts the lid a little more revealing
what is inside.

Crewmen are frozen as they look at the lifeless body of
COUNT VON KAISER. Presumed to be in his sixties, his long
gray hair and beard lay still upon the silken fabric he lays
upon. He is dressed in a black, velvet long coat embossed
with gold trim around the cuffs and neck which is over a
stark white shirt with ivory buttons. His pants are matching
the overcoat and is wearing sturdy leather boots. His skin
is a wrinkled greenish color. All is still in the casket and
on the deck.

Raindrops bounce off the count's face as the wind gently
begins to blow his hair off the pillow he lays upon.
Lightning flashes and thunder BOOMS rumble in the
background. Captain Grist gets up to take a closer look at
Von Kaiser face. Suddenly Von Kaiser's eyes sharply open
reflecting the moonlight in his hazel green eyes.

Crewmen jolt backwards at this horrific surprise. Von's eyes
scan left then right, his arms from the sides of his body
slowly creep up to his chest. Crewmen watching his every
move in utter shock and horror. Von struggles a little to
sit upright.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
Help him up!
                                                            
Pirate Bruin cautiously slides his hand under Von's arm and
helps him sit up.
                                                            

3.

                       BRUIN
Take your time sir I'll help you.
                                                            
Bruin helps Von to sit up, then moments later carefully
helps him out of the casket. Von is now standing, rocking
with ship and the aid of several pirates. He looks around
for a moment, then his eyes focus in on Captain Grist.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Why did you wake me?
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
My master, we are at the mercy of
this storm and I fear we'll smash
into those rocks near shore to our
doom.
                                                            
As they sail closer to shore, Captain Grist points to the
rocks that are being hammered by large white cap waves. Von
looking around quicky looks aggitated. Lightning flashes
followed by the thunder RUMBLING.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Where are my sisters?
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
Still below Sir. Should we get
them up?
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Bring them up now!
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST (addressing his crewmen)
You heard him. Get the next one up
here.
                                                            
The four crewmen make their way back down the stairwell. Von
stumbles closer to Captain Grist, gives him the pirate evil
eye for just a moment. But to Captain Grist, it felt like an
enternity.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
I'm starving.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
Sir, make way to my cabin.
                                                            
Grist looks around at the weary yet exhilerated crewmen on
deck and spots the young CABIN BOY JEAN. He stretches out
his long slender finger and points to him.
                                                            

4.

                       CAPTAIN GRIST
You there, Jean, go with the
Count, find him some bread and
wine in my cabin, now hurry.
                                                            
Jean hurries to the captain's cabin door and quickley
escorts Von into the cabin. The door slams shut behind them
from the waning of the ship.
                                                            
INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - CONTINUING
                                                            
Below deck it's dark. A few swaying lanterns light the way
as pirates pass supplies and cannons to reach the
partitioned stern room. The room is covered deep with dirt
on the floors and is dimly lit. Though the pauses of the
waves crashing the sides of the boat, you can hear a low
RUMBLE of thunder.

They crawl across "the grave yard" past the hole that Von's
casket was in and approach four other pirates PIRATE STEEN,
PIRATE KUND, PIRATE JESPER and PIRATE TUMP. The crewmen
begin digging the second casket out of the earthen floor
with shovels and their bare hands. Water is coming in from
above through the above plank floor due to the pounding
rainstorm and the dirt is quickly turning into mud.
                                                            
                       BRUIN
That coffin we just took topside.
                                                            
The men stop digging to listen.
                                                            
                       BRUIN (continuing)
The captain had us open it.
They're was a dead man in it, only
he wasn't dead he got up out of
the coffin and was talking to the
Captain.
                                                            
The pirates chuckle not believing his story.
                                                            
                       JESPER
He's pulling our leg.
                                                            
                       KRISTEN
We're not lying you scurvy dog,
it's the truth. That man in the
casket was alive.
                                                            
                       THOR
It's true the Captain said the
man's name was Count Von Kaiser.
                                                            

5.

                       STEEN
I don't believe it, these caskets
have been buried under this ship
and soil for three months since we
left Germany.
                                                            
                       KUND
Maybe he was sleeping?
                                                            
                       KRISTEN
No one could sleep that long.
                                                            
                       THOR (afraid)
We're about to abandoned ship,
we're going to hit the rocks on
shore and we'll all go down with
the ship.
                                                            
The ship sways and creaks as it lifts from a swells.
Lightning flashes as the thunder RUMBLES.
                                                            
                       BRUIN
This time you take the coffin
topside to the captain and you'll
see for yourself. You'll see we
aren't lying to you. We'll start
on the next one.
                                                            
                       KRISTEN
One of you sneak into the
Captain's cabin and see if that
cabin boy Jean is in there. The
Captain made him go with the
undead and to fetch him something
to eat.
                                                            
Pirates Steen, Kund, Jesper, and Tump exhaustedly push the
casket towards the doorway out to be tied and lifted to the
deck.
                                                            
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - CONTINUING
                                                            
On deck the Captain's door opens and a new younger, more
handsome looking Von Kaiser appears. His hair and beard now
black. He walks steadily back onto deck. Crewmen glance at
him in awe and disbeleif as he approaches Captain Grist.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Captain Grist, is nothing we can
do to avoid those rocks?
                                                            

6.

                       CAPTAIN GRIST
Nothing sir. We are at the mercy
of the sea.
                                                            
The four pirates start methodically pulling up the rope on
the pulley as the second bronze colored casket is being
lifted from the stairwell. Pirates Steen, Kund, Jesper and
Tump push the casket up onto the deck undo the ropes. They
slide the casket onto the wet deck near the Captain and Von.
Von spiritually kneels next to the coffin. The raindrops are
washing the dirt and mud off the outside of the casket.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
I'll open it.
                                                            
Von anxiously flips the latches on the lid. Again, a HISSING
is heard, and a small amount of the same greyish vapor
escapes. He slowly opens the casket.
He looks down at PURELL KAISER, one of his sisters. She
looks dead to the naked eye, greenish in color, wrinkled
skin and long gray hair. She is wearing a red velvet
European style dress.
Rain is falling gently on her face as Von moves closer to
her.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (softly)
Purell...Purell..Awake my sister.
                                                            
VON is looking intently at her face when her eyes open. She
looks to the left then to the right effortlessly as if just
woken from a nap. She gives him a small grin.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Sister you must get up.
                                                            
Von gently takes her under the arm, helps her sit up then
helps her out of the casket. She eased out of the coffin
with little trouble. Pirates Steen, Kund, and Trump are
watching in awe and exchange glances at each other in
disbelief.
Pirate Jesper silently slips away and disappears into the
Captain's cabin.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Captain Grist you remember my
beautiful sister Purell?
                                                            
Grist has a look on his face remembering what she had looked
like in his memory. This is not the Purell he remembered. He
quickly pulls himself together and politely extends his
hand.
                                                            

7.

                       CAPTAIN GRIST
Aye, Purell nice to see you again
Miss.
                                                            
She lightly shakes his hand. Purell looks upset with the
conditions of the surroundings the wind, the rain, and the
pirates staring at her.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Captain Grist my sister needs
something to eat.
                                                            
Grist snaps to it to prepare some food.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
Aye, I'll take care of it.
                                                            
Pirate Jesper exits the Captain's cabin and gives Pirate
Kund a sigh the thumb across his throat "the cabin boy is
dead" . Grist looks at the nearby pirates standing on the
deck watching and calls out PIRATE TAPPER.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
Tapper take the lady into my cabin
and fix her some bread and wine.
                                                            
Pirate Tapper steps forward and takes Purell gently by the
arm.
                                                            
                       TAPPER
This way Miss.
                                                            
Tapper leads Purell into the Captain's cabin and shuts the
door behind them. A large swell lifts the ship and everyone
is hanging on as a large wave breaks over the side.
Lightning CRACKS followed by the thunder RUMBLING. Wind
gusts with sheets of rain.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
This is bad, I have to get off
this ship now.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
We can abandoned ship and try to
swim for it.
                                                            
Von looking fearful at that idea.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
No...no I can't do that.
                                                            

8.

                       CAPTAIN GRIST
We can stay and pray we don't hit
the rocks.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
What do you really think of that?
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
We'll hit the rocks and half of us
will drown.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Get my other sisters up here now.
                                                            
Grist looks at the four pirates.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
Get below and dig out the others.
                                                            
Pirate Kund looks upset at that order.
                                                            
                       KUND
It's getting harder to dig them up
it's turning to mud down there.
                                                            
Grist puts his hand on his sword handle.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST (screams)
Get down there now!
                                                            
The four pirates head back down the stairwell. Lightning
flashes and the soft low RUMBLE of thunder. The captain's
cabin door swings opens and out steps the beautiful Purell
her hair is a beautiful light brown now. Captain Grist even
has to take a double look at her. The crewmen on the deck
are all looking at her beauty. She glides over and
approaches Von.
                                                            
 
INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Below deck at the "grave yard" pirates Bruin, Kristen, Thor
and Morton are digging away in the muddy soil as pirates
Steen, Kund, Jesper and Tump crawl their way over to them.
                                                            
                       BRUIN
What did you see up there?
                                                            
                       STEEN (nervous)
Just like you said, they opened
it...a dead woman... then she woke
from the dead.
                                                            

9.

                       KRISTEN
I tell you we're doing the Devil's
work.
                                                            
Pirate Thor is nervously rubbing his forehead.
                                                            
                       THOR (afraid)
We'll all go to hell for this.
                                                            
The pirates look at each other with fear on their faces.
                                                            
                       MORTON
I know what they are, they are
Vampires from Europe.
                                                            
The other men freeze, listening to him speak.
                                                            
                       MORTON (afraid)
You know, Vampires are the living
dead. I've seen them in Europe. If
we don't kill them, they'll kill
all of us. They'll suck the blood
from us to feed. We'll all be
damned.
                                                            
                       KUND
What do we have to do?
                                                            
                       MORTON
Pray.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - CONTINUOUS
                                                            
On deck, Von is looking for a better option. Then he sees a
longboat strapped to the side of a deck farther up the
stern.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (pointing to it)
Captain, what about that row boat.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
I don't think you'll find two
fools on this ship to row that in
this storm.
                                                            
Von approaches a group of pirates, reaches into his coat
pocket and pulls out a pouch with gold coins. The glistening
of the coins in the moonlight and flashes of lightening
grabs a couple of the pirates' attention as Von holds it out
to them. Almost teasing each of them.
                                                            

10.

                       VON KAISER
This pouch of gold for two brave
strong men who can row my sister
and I to shore now.
                                                            
The pirates all start to look at each other like it's a
crazy idea, then PIRATE CAMBRIDGE and PIRATE STONE step
forward.
                                                            
                       CAMBRIDGE
Stone and I will do it.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Very well, get that boat ready
now.
                                                            
Von walks back to Purell and the Captain. Purell whispers in
Von's ear.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Von we can't cross water.
                                                            
Von turns to Captain Grist.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Captain, we'll need to be wrapped
in cloth or blankets and covered
with a canvas.
                                                            
 
INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Below deck at the "grave site" Pirate Thor is methodically
sharpening a wooden stake with his knife. The bronzed
colored casket is now out of the dirt and Pirate Morton is
pulling and tying the ropes to secure it.
                                                            
                       BRUIN
Load your pistols and cover them
with a piece of canvas to keep the
power dry.
                                                            
He shows the men how he wraps his pistol with the piece of
canvas. Pirate Kristen has a wooden mallet in one hand and
three four-foot wooden spear stakes with sharpened tips in
the other.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Outside next to the ship, Cambridge and Stone are in the
longboat. The waves are lifting the smaller boat up and
down. They reach up to receive the wrapped body of Von

11.

Kaiser. His wrapped body is coming down to them tied by
ropes for his safety into the boat. They gently place him in
the longboat. Next, the pirates on deck gently pass down the
wrapped body of Purell. Cambridge and Stone place her next
to Von.

They cover them with canvas to keep any light from reaching
them. Captain Grist looks on as the pirates on deck are
pulling on the rope attached to the pulley hanging down the
stairwell. Lighting flashes with a CRACK, the thunder
RUMBLES as the tip of the third coffin is making its way to
the deck.

Next to the ship in the longboat, Cambridge and Stone row
for their lives moving away from the "Pegasus".

On deck, the third coffin is slid in front of Captain Grist.
The pirates stare at him.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
What are you doing? Open it.
                                                            
                       BRUIN
Where is Von and that woman?
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST
They left us. Cambridge is rowing
them to shore. Now open it.
                                                            
                       BRUIN (determined)
They are Vampires and we're not
letting any more out.
                                                            
                       KUND
We're not doing the Devil's work
for you.
                                                            
Captain Grist pulls out his sword. Two other loyal pirates
standing behind Grist also pull out their swords.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN GRIST (menacing)
You swine, I said open it.
                                                            
Pirate Bruin points his covered pistol at Grist and fires.
BOOM. Captain Grist falls dead to the deck. Just as quickly
Pirates Morten and Jesper shoot the other two pirates. BOOM
BOOM. Both are mortally wounded and fall dead to the deck.

On the longboat, Cambridge spots an opening between some
rocks and a small section of beach. Cambridge puts his back
into rowing a hard as he can.

On deck Pirate Bruin kneels next to the third coffin, he has

12.

a wooden stake in one hand and the wooden mallet in the
other. He looks up to all the crew standing near by
watching, they all have their stakes, pistols, and swords
ready. He intently opens the latches on the sides of the
coffin. A HISSING is heard and a small amount of vapor
escapes.

As he slowly lifts the lid to the coffin, he sees an older
looking woman RUSHKA KAISER. She has gray hair, wrinkled
greenish looking skin. She is wearing a black velvet
European style dress that lays still on her. The dress is
decorated with white lace cuffs and collar similar to Von's.
Pirate Bruin puts the stake on her chest near her heart. He
looks back up at all the pirates watching his every move.
They are ready with their stakes and swords as back up.
Pirate Bruin looks back down at Rushka, just then, her eyes
open. They are black as coal.

She stares at the stake on her chest and her hand quickly
raises up and grabs the stake. This startles Bruin and he
yells out a scream as he raises the mallet. Rushka sees the
mallet coming down and lets out a scream. The mallet pounds
with contact on the stake. The stake drops into Rushka's
chest. She screams in agony showing her fanged teeth. Her
body starts to violently shake, the skin on her face turns
black and starts to flake off. A gruesome site.

Then after a moment, her body is still. The rain dripping
on her face washes the dried blacked skin off her exposing
her skull.

A bright flash of lighting fills the sky followed by a loud
thunder RUMBLE. A large wave slams into the side of the ship
as it breaks over the deck. Many pirates are knocked off
their feet, the coffin slides around the deck. The men are
in panic.
                                                            
                       STEEN (terrified)
Abandon ship!
                                                            
Pirates are jumping over the side and splashing into the
waves. Two pirates swimming for their lives are pulled under
by the strong undertow. The "Pegasus" closer to the rocks
now, bobs up and down with the swells. Within moments, the
ship is now empty of all crew. All that remain are the three
coffins sliding about on the now flooding deck.
                                                            
 
EXT. RUMRUNNER A SMALL ONE MAN SHIP CARIBBEAN SEA - AFTERNOON
                                                            
Nine months later, A beautiful day in the Caribbean. Warm
breezes and sun shining without a cloud in the sky. A
small one-man ship the named "RUMRUNNER" is cutting through

the water. Captained by no other that CAPTAIN CALICO CRISS.
He is behind the wheel all alone. He has his calico skull
cap on and is looking over his cargo piled on the deck.
There are wooden kegs of rum, a pile of rolled up new ship
canvas sails, five chickens in small wooden cages and two
good size pigs in wooden cages.

Lifting the spyglass up to his eye, he methodically starts
to scan the horizon looking back and forth. He spots a small
silhouette of a ship to the west, he slowly lowers the
spyglass.
                                                            
                       CALICO (talking to himself)
Change course captain, west by
southwest.
                                                            
Calico leaves the ships wheel. He moves to untie the sail
line and adjusts the sails direction in order to catch the
right winds. The "Rumrunner" sails in its new direction
toward the ship spotted moements ago.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - LATER
                                                            
A breeze flaps a piece of ripped sail up on the mast. On
deck everything is still, just the CREEK of boards as the
"Pegasus" drifts without direction on the sea like a ghost
ship.

The silence of the ship is broken as Calico tries pulling
his leg over the side of the ship. He looses his grip and
drops the pistol he was holding to the deck with a THUD.
Trying not to look rattled, he quickly retrieves his pistol
and gathers himself upright quickly.
                                                            
                       CALICO (looking around)
Ahoy!
                                                            
Calico has his pistol aimed, cautiously looking all about.
He looks up at the ripped sails, then back down at the three
coffins. All their lids, as of now, are still shut.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Ahoy!
                                                            
Calico makes his way to the ship's wheel and approaches the
dead bodies of Captain Grist and the other two pirates that
died with him. Calico respectfully tips his hat to them.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Mates.
                                                            

14.

Calico reaches down and picks up Captain Grist's pistol. He
notices the engraving across the handle reads "Captain
Grist". He gives it a once over, and puts it in his sword
belt. He moves to the captain's cabin door and cautiously
opens it and peaks in.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Ahoy!
                                                            
 
INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Inside the captain's cabin Calico enters, it's darker but
rays of light are peaking through the shutters on the
windows. He slowly makes his way around the room. He's able
to see the skeleton of the cabin boy Jean, then the skeleton
of Pirate Tapper. This doesn't impress him so Calico leaves
and goes back up on deck.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
As Calico approaches the coffins, he feels this is an old
pirate's trick to ambush unwanted visitors. He cocks his
pistol and aims at one.
                                                            
He quickly lifts the lid, it's empty. He moves over to the
second coffin he quickly raises the lid, this coffin too is
empty. Calico breathes a sigh of relief and moves
confidently now to the last coffin. Once again ready to
shoot.

He lifts the lid expecting to find an empty coffin, however,
Rushka's skull is looking back at him. The gruesome site
scares Calico. His pistol fires with a BANG striking
Rushka's skull right in the center of her forehead. He slams
the lid shut, stands and pulls out his sword moving away.
                                                            
                       CALICO (shocked)
What was that?
                                                            
Calico, after a minute, regains his composure and opens the
lid of the coffin again revealing the hole in Rushka's
forehead still smoking.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Sorry Miss.
                                                            
 

15.

INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - LATER
                                                            
After investigating the top deck of the ship, Calico is
compelled to go below deck. Calico with a lit torch in one
hand, pistol in the other he descends to the belly beneath.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Ahoy! Anyone down here?
                                                            
The dim light from the torch illuminates a cannon station.
He opens the cannon flaps to let in more light. He
continues on, passing a few crates, and more cannon
stations. Then as he is exploring, he finds himself at the
"grave yard".

He lights the area with his torch. As he moves his torch
about he can see the empty holes where the coffins once were
buried in the dirt. These sights do not impress him. He
heads back top side.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - AFTERNOON
                                                            
Again, Calico is up on the high mast. He wraps a line around
his arm, looks down and leaps. As he leaves the mast, the
line is tight and he slowly is lowered to the deck. The rope
runs through a pulley system he had rigged up earlier in the
day. As he is lowered down, a keg of rum is taken off the
deck of the "Rumrunner" and is hoisted onto the edge of the
"Pegasus". The keg stops right at the edge of the deck as
Calico touches down. He ties the line off and rolls the rum
barrel onto deck.

Calico is up on the high mast again, he wraps the line
around his arm again and jumps. This time as he goes down
and a large roll of canvas lifts up off the "Rumrunner"
rising all the way up to the high mast. Working some lines
and the canvas, a new sail is now ready for use.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - LATER
                                                            
On deck Calico ties down Von's coffin with rope to the side
rails of the ship.
                                                            
                       CALICO (talking to himself)
Someone will pay a nice price for
this.
                                                            
He moves over to Rushka's coffin and opens it. Looking
around, he spots a beautiful, blood-red, stone ring on
Rushka's finger. He slips the ring off her finger, looks at
it, then puts it on his own finger.
                                                            

16.

                       CALICO
Love, I need this more than you
do.
                                                            
Calico is on deck near a large iron pot. He is flicking a
piece of flint on a small rock to make sparks. Sparks are
landing in the kindling and he slowly blows on them starting
a fire. He situates a pot on the fire with a small spit with
one of the chickens on it. Calico eats his dinner
consisting of a piece of chicken and some rum. He is feeling
content and proud of all he has accomplished throughout the
day.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I love my new ship.
                                                            
After he finishes eating, Calico is now in the presence of
the bodies of Grist, Jean, Tapper, and the other two
pirates. All are wrapped in cloth lined up for a quick
burial at sea. He respectfully tips his hat to them.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Gentlemen ..rest in peace.
                                                            
He picks up one of the wrapped bodies and pitches it
overboard.
                                                            
 
INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - LATER
                                                            
Calico inside the captain's quarters sits at Captain Grist's
desk looking through the drawers. He finds a small pouch of
coins looks in it half heartedly, then slides it in his
pocket.

Looking around he finds some letters and documents. He skims
them quickly and drops them onto the floor when he finished.
One document catches his eye. This one he does not discard
to the floor.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Captain Grist for the safe
delivery of four coffins.
                                                            
He pauses then rereads it.
                                                            
                       CALICO
For the safe delivery of four
coffins.
                                                            
 

17.

EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
On deck Calico is looking at the caskets he tied to the side
rail. Pointing to each one.
                                                            
                       CALICO
One...two...three...
                                                            
 
INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Below deck in the "grave yard area" Calico enters with a lit
torch. Hes looking at the dirt holes where the three caskets
have been removed from. Pointing to each one.
                                                            
                       CALICO
One...two...three.
                                                            
Then his eyes focus on the area just beyond hole number
three a undisturbed area.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Four.
                                                            
Calico begins digging in the dirt looking for the fourth
coffin. Then he uncovers the tip of a bronze casket.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Up on the high mast Calico wraps the line around his arm
then he jumps like he has done before expecting the coffin
to be raised. This time, after he jumps, he ends up swinging
by the rope.

The other end of the rope leads down to his pulley system,
down the stairs and into the "grave yard". The end is tied
to the handle of the casket but it is still covered by too
much dirt. It's not budding.

Calico hanging from the line jerks his body a few times. He
looks down at the deck below.
                                                            
                       CALICO (concerned)
Not good.
                                                            
He starts jerking his body making his body swing even more.
Below the casket slowly breaks free and inches forward
freeing itself. Calico is being lowered to the deck as the
casket is freed.
                                                            
 

18.

INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - CONTINUOUS
                                                            
Below deck it's dark. Calico opens a few cannon flap doors
on the ships side, rays of light come in. He approaches the
fourth casket a bit nervously. He takes his pistol out and
cocks it not knowing what to expect.

He kneels near the coffin and flips the latches. A WHOOSHING
HISSING is heard and a small amount of greyish vapor
escapes. He's viewing an older dead looking woman CASSIEO
KAISER. She has gray hair, wrinkled greenish looking skin,
wearing a dark brown velvet European style dress similar to
Ruska's but more detailed lace.

He immediately eyes up what is on her finger. Instantly
forgetting all that happened with Ruska, he reaches in to
lift her hand to slyly slip her ring off her finger. Just
at that moment, her eyes suddenly open. Cassieo sees Calico
but more so to her horror she sees the stream of light
coming in across the room from the cannon flap holes. She
lets out a blood-curdling scream.

This too scares Calico and he lets out a blood curdling
scream. He hurries in horror to slam the lid shut, his
pistol fires BOOM. He quickly gets to his feet and sits on
the coffin lid. He is breathing heavily and looks at his
smoking pistol in amazement of all that has just happened.
                                                            
                       CALICO (nervous)
      (astonished)
Didn't expect that. Although I
probably should have.
                                                            
He scans the area and spots one of the wooden stakes the
earlier pirates had made and had quickly left behind.
Getting up he puts his pistol in his sword belt and pulls
out the other pistol he gained from Grist and cocks it.
                                                            
                       CALICO (talking to himself)
The person in the box is dead. You
saw her eyes open. I must be
seeing things.What about the
scream? I must be seeing and
hearing things. I don't like the
looks of this one bit.
                                                            
Calico musters up his courage again and kneels next to the
casket. In his left hand he has the stake to push up the lid
and in his right hand his pistol ready to shoot. With the
stake, he starts to lift the lid. When it's up about three
inches he peers in to see Cassieo's eyes looking back at
him. He has the pistol locked on her.
                                                            

19.

                       CASSIEO KAISER
Please don't kill me.
                                                            
                       CALICO
What makes you think I'll kill
you?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I know your a Vampire killer, I
see my sister's blood ring on your
finger.
                                                            
Calico glances at the ring he took.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
She would never give that ring to
anyone. I see the stake you hold.
I even see you have Captain
Grist's pistol and of course you
have me trapped in the daylight.
But Sir, if you spare me I can
lead you to great teasure.
                                                            
                       CALICO (curious)
Treasure you say?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Treasure that would fill this
ship.
                                                            
                       CALICO
How do I know you won't try to
kill me?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
You'll have to trust me.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Code of the seas, I don't trust
anyone and you did say Vampire.
                                                            
Calico starts to raise the lid just a little.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Please don't. The light hurts my
eyes.
                                                            
Calico lowers it.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I swear. Promise you. I give you
my word. I won't harm you in
anyway. I'll even tell you ways to
protect yourself from Vampires.
            (MORE)

20.

                       CASSIEO KAISER (cont'd)
I'll help you find the treasure.
                                                            
Calico's face indicates that this deal may be worth the
risk.
                                                            
                       CALICO
And what do I have to do again?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Let me live. Tell me all and I'll
tell you all. We trust each other.
We will be partners.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Then we have a understanding... I
agree.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I agree as well. First please tell
me of that ring. It belongs to my
sister Rushka.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Was she wearing a black dress?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Yes.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I'm afraid she's dead.
                                                            
Cassieo angrily hisses at Calico and shows her fangs.
Calico drops the lid. After a moment Cassieo lifts the lid a
little herself from the inside.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I didn't kill her. I did see her
skeleton up on deck. That's were I
found the ring.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
That pistol,Captain Grist's
pistol? Where is he?
                                                            
                       CALICO
He's gone as well. I gave him and
four other mates burials at sea.
                                                            
Cassieo drops the lid. Calico can hear her HISS. After a
moment she lifts the lid a little again enough to speak
softly through the crack.
                                                            

21.

                       CASSIEO KAISER
My brother Von and my sister
Purell what about them?
                                                            
                       CALICO
I don't know of them. Now it's my
turn. You a Vampire?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Yes, I'm a Vampire.
                                                            
She chuckles to herself.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I thought you knew this?
                                                            
Calico faking it like he knew.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Well yes..yes and no ..you can
never be sure in these matters.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I'm sorry we forgot to introduce
ourselves. I'm Countess Cassieo
Kaiser. You can call me Princess
Cassieo.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I'm Captain Calico Criss and you
can call me Captain Calico Criss.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Well Captain Calico Criss why do I
sense you are all alone?
                                                            
Calico looks around the area remembering that he is all
alone but not wanting to admit it to her.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Calico I can hear your heart
beating. I can hear a heart
beating fifty feet away and yours
is the only heart I hear. Why is
that?
                                                            
On the inside, Calico is freaking out by her comment. But he
has to act brave.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Just you and I Love.
                                                            
Cassieo chuckles to herself.
                                                            

22.

                       CASSIEO KAISER
So, Captain Calico, where is the
crew?
                                                            
                       CALICO
There is no crew, Love.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Are we tied to a dock?
                                                            
                       CALICO
No, we are in the middle of the
open ocean. Now I have a question
for you, are you a Vampire?
                                                            
Cassieo chuckles.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Oh yes Captain I'm a Vampire. A
very bad Vampire.
                                                            
He is spooked out by what she said, but continues to sound
tough and unimpressed by her answer.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Well Miss Cassieo did I forget to
mention I'm a pirate, a very bad
pirate.
                                                            
Cassieo chuckles.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
So you're not a vampire hunter?
Captain, how long before the sun
sets?
                                                            
                       CALICO
About a hour. Why?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Well I'm hungry and I believe I
hear a hog's heart beating.
I was thinking after the sun goes
down I'll butcher the hog and we
can have a nice meal on deck.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I'll meet you top side.
                                                            
Calico gets up and as he begins to exit, he looks back at
the casket, his eyes open wide at what he sees.

EXT. PORT TANNER - EVENING
                                                            
Dusk is settling on the streets of all the small shops on
the main drag of the town. The end of the street leads down
to the pub and docks. Most of the shops are closed as Von
and Purell walk arm in arm. The two are followed by
Cambridge and Strong who look like two zombie bodyguards.
Both men have a dark look about them as they stagger behind.
Purell is wearing a summer sundress. The flowers on it are
flowing as they stroll the street. Von sports a flowing,
stark white shirt and tailored pants.

As they stroll and window shop, Purell notices a shop with
lanterns still lit inside. She peers closely into the window
noticing the beautiful dresses, but more so she spots a
handsome man ZACHARY SMITH just standing in the store.
Purell pulls Von towards the shop door.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
In here Von.
                                                            
 
INT. DRESS SHOP - EVENING
                                                            
The SEAMSTRESS sees Purell through the window. Rushing to
the door, she opens it and invties them in with a welcoming
greeting.
                                                            
                       SEAMSTRESS
Miss please have a look.
                                                            
Purell makes her way in. She is looking at few dresses that
have caught her eye and touching the sleeves as she makes
her way near Zak. Inside Von stands near the doorway. The
seamstress walks into a back room with a dress slung over
her arm. Purell gets near Zak and gives him a smile. Zak
grins back at her.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
I don't believe we have met.
                                                            
She extends her hand to shake his hand.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
I'm Purell Kaiser.
                                                            
Zak extends his hand. As he is watching the beautiful charm
bracelet on her wrist, Purell too extends her hand. As
their hands meet to shake, Purell's nail pricks him on the
inside of his wrist. Zak felt something, but does not
mention the sting.
                                                            

24.

                       ZAK SMITH
Pleased to meet you Miss.
                                                            
Zak quickly spots beautiful ANNE BONNY looking at dresses.
Anne looks back at them.
                                                            
                       ZAK SMITH (addressing Purell)
I'm Zak Smith and this is my
fiance Miss Anne Bonny.
                                                            
Anne makes a bee line over to them. Anne extends her hand to
Purell.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
Hello, I'm Anne Bonny and you are?
                                                            
Anne smiles at her. Purell a little upset that her encounter
with Zak was interuppted, gives a catty look back, but
politely extends her hand to shake in greeting.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
I'm Purell Kaiser.
                                                            
Their hands meet and Purell pricks Anne's wrist with her
fingernail. Anne quickly pulls here hand back.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
Ouch. You pricked my hand.
                                                            
Anne looks at the inside of her wrist. There is a very small
stream of blood begining to appear where she was pricked.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Oh I'm sorry dear it must have
been my bracelet.
                                                            
Purell holds her hand up showing the bracelet as to say that
one of her charms on her bracelet must have scratched her
skin.
Von still standing back by the door. Watching all that is
taking place.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Purell don't.
                                                            
Purell looks at Von and gives him a evil grin, then looks
back at Zak.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Zak I have to say, you are the
most handsome man I have seen in a
long time.
                                                            

25.

Zak is now looking at drop of blood on his wrist as it is
starting to sting and take on a blackish hue around the
area. He looks at Purell feeling a little dizzy. Purell
grins back at Anne. Anne is a little upset with Purell's
remark, not knowing what is about to happen.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
Excuse me, what are you saying?
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER (snotty attitude)
Anne my dear, what I'm saying is
I'm going to steal Zak away from
you. Do you understand?
                                                            
Anne feeling a little dizzy, watches Purell softly run the
back of her hand down Zak cheek.
Purell looks back at Anne and grins at her.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
No. I don't understand.
                                                            
Purell turns nasty.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
What part don't you understand
TART!
                                                            
Purell slaps Anne in the face, then pushes her back into a
near by chair, sitting Anne forecfully down. Zak
instinctively grabs Purell's arm from behind her.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Zak take your hands off me. Never
touch me again unless I ask you
to.
                                                            
Zak lets go of her and puts his arms down. Zak has a little
sweat on his face. Purell gets upclose to Anne.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER (snotty attitude)
Now Miss Bonny do you
understand.I'm stealing your man.
I want you to watch this.
                                                            
Purell flashes her fangs and hisses at Anne then turns to
Zak and puts her hands firmly on his shoulders.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Zak kiss me.
                                                            
Zak pauses for a second then he and Purell kiss. Purell
looks into Zak's eyes. Zak is under her spell and control.
                                                            

26.

                       PURELL KAISER
Zak I love you.
                                                            
Zak looks a little confused but then speaks without
realizing what he is saying.
                                                            
                       ZAK SMITH
Purell I love you.
                                                            
Anne sitting in the chair looks paralyzed and can hardly
move. Her face is sweating and she looks dazed and confused.
She tries to reach for Zak but as her left hand comes up
Purell spots her ring and snatches it off Anne's finger.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
You don't need this any more. I'm
stealing this as well.
                                                            
Purell takes Zak by the arm.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Zak we're leaving. Follow me.
                                                            
Anne helplessly watches Purell and Zak walking out of the
shop, Von follows. Anne looks at the back of her wrist where
Purell pricked her and there was a small black area around
it. Her face covered in sweat. Outside Purell, Zak and Von
walk away, followed by Cambridge and Stone. Inside the
seamstress approaches Anne and tries to help her up.
                                                            
                       SEAMSTRESS (concerned)
Anne are you alright dear?
                                                            
Anne collapses to the floor. The seamstress kneels down to
look her over then quickly rises to her feet.
                                                            
                       SEAMSTRESS
Anne I'm going to go fetch the
Doctor.
                                                            
The seamstress hastily exits the shop. Anne's face flat
against the floor, her eyes are rolling back in her head,
she is foaming at the mouth slightly and the black mark on
the back of her hand has now doubled, maybe tripled in size.
                                                            
 
INT. GOVERNOR BONNY'S HOUSE - BEDROOM - DAY
                                                            
Anne in bed is very pale and unconscious. DOCTOR GRAMBOW is
examining her. The Doctor lifts her arm. The black spot has
traveled from her hand, up her arm to her shoulder. It looks
like a black spider web under her skin. GOVERNOR BONNY

27.

Anne's father is seated next to the bed watching with
anticipation of the diagnosis.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY (concerned)
Please tell me Doctor their is
some hope.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR GRAMBOW
Governor I don't know what it is.
My guess is some type of plague,
she is getting weaker by the
minute.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY
Is there nothing we can do?
                                                            
                       DOCTOR GRAMBOW
I gave her medicines. I'm sorry.
All we can do is wait it out and
see if the medicne works.
                                                            
The Doctor reexamines her arm.
                                                            
 
INT. GOVERNOR BONNY'S HOUSE LIBRARY - LATER
                                                            
Governor Bonny upset at the thought of losing his daughter,
pours himself a drink. MAID SARA walks in.
                                                            
                       MAID SARA
How is she sir?
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY (sadness)
Not good Sara not good. She's
dying.
                                                            
Helpless his daughter is dying the Governor sobs for a
moment. Tears roll down Sara's face.
                                                            
                       MAID SARA
Sir, if it is of any use,I just
remembered a ship came in last
night and I heard there is a
Doctor from Europe with the crew.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY
Sara that's a very good idea. Have
another doctor look at her. Thank
you. Sara can you go find this
doctor and bring him here.
                                                            

28.

                       MAID SARA
I'll send Richard he's young and
fast. He'll find him.
                                                            
Maid Sara leaves the room as the Governor wipes tears from
his eyes with a little bit of renewed hope.
                                                            
 
EXT. PORT FAIRCLOTH DOCKS - DAY
                                                            
On the docks RICHARD is walking past the ships and people
asking sailors if they have see a doctor. Richard stops a
sailor.
                                                            
                       RICHARD
Sir. Have you seen a doctor from
Europe new to port?
                                                            
                       SAILOR 1
They are in the Faircloth pub he's
with a group of men with wide brim
leather hats. You can't miss them.
                                                            
                       RICHARD
Thank you sir. Thank you.
                                                            
Richards takes off running towards the pub.
                                                            
 
INT. PORT FAIRCLOTH PUB - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
The pub is crowed as Richard enters, he looks around the
room and spots the men with the leather hats sitting at
table eating. He approaches their table. Four men with wide
brim leather hats eating and talking. DOCTOR WICKMAN looks
up at Richard, then his three henchmen GURHARD, OTTO, and
HINRICK look up. All four speak with a German accent and are
wearing lightweight leather dusters the European look.
Richard interrupts them.
                                                            
                       RICHARD
Gentlemen please, are one of you a
doctor?
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
I'm Doctor Hans Wickman lad.
                                                            
                       RICHARD (sense of urgency)
Sir, you have to come with me,
Anne Bonny is very sick with
fever. We must hurry.
                                                            

29.

                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Lad, I'm not that doctor.
                                                            
                       RICHARD
Sir you have to help her she's
dying.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
I'm sorry son, you best look
somewhere else.
                                                            
Richard looks distraught, and turns to leave. Then he bursts
out with tears in his eyes to the doctor.
                                                            
                       RICHARD (pleading)
The black mark is going up her arm
to her heart.
                                                            
Richard in despair turns again to leave. Doctor Wickman
looks at his men then back to Richard.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Lad come here. What was this about
a black spot?
                                                            
                       RICHARD
Sir most of her arm has turned
black. It started on her hand but
now it is running up to her
shoulder. It looks like a black
spider web under her skin.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman looks at his men as if they have heard of
this before.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Gurhard get my doctors case off
the ship. Lad, I can't promise you
anything but I will take a look at
her.
                                                            
The men stand to leave the pub.
                                                            
 
INT. GOVERNOR BONNY'S HOUSE - BEDROOM - LATER
                                                            
Governor Bonny is seated bedside holding Anne's hand, she is
still unconscious. Doctor Grambow is looking purposefully
inside his doctors bag.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR GRAMBOW
You won't let me amputate. You
won't let me bleed her.
                                                            

30.

The door opens as Maid Sara enters and is followed by Doctor
Wickman and his men. They don't look like doctors and have
no bedside manner at all. They storm in like they're ready
for a fight. Otto and Hinrick move to the opposite side of
the bed. Gurhard at the foot of the bed and Doctor Wickman
nears Governor Bonny. Governor Bonny is feeling a little
uneasy at their rude entry.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY
What is this?
                                                            
Doctor Wickman quickly moves the blanket off Anne's chest.
He roughly lifts up her blackened arm examining it quite
harshly. Governor Bonny fills with anger.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY (upset)
Get your dirty hands off my
daughter.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman drops her arm down and extends his hand to
Governor Bonny.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
I apologize sir, I'm Doctor Hans
Wickman, at you service.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY
At my service? I want you and your
men out of my house right now.
                                                            
Gurhard moves to the door and shuts it and blocks the
doorway. Governor Bonny starts to get up but Doctor Wickman
shoves him back in his seat.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN (forceful)
We can't do that sir.
                                                            
Otto, Hinrick and Gurhard pull out their pistols.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY (confused)
This is mad. What? Are you robbing
us?
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
No sir. You sent for us to save
Anne and that's what I intend to
do.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY
No. No I want your men to leave.
                                                            
Gurhard gets behind Governor Bonny and restrains him in his
chair, his hands on the Governor's shoulders.
                                                            

31.

                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Tie them up.
                                                            
 
INT. GOVERNOR BONNY'S HOUSE - BEDROOM - LATER
                                                            
Governor Bonny is tied and gagged in his chair wide eyed
watching Doctor Wickman and his men.
Doctor Grambow and maid Sara are tied and gagged sitting on
the floor. The blanket removed from Anne who is now in her
nightgown unconscious. Otto has a wooded bowl and is cutting
up pieces of garlic and then smashing it with a spoon. Otto
is done and hands the bowl to Doctor Wickman.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Governor Bonny I truly am sorry...
I know this is your daughter. And
I'll try to explain what we have
to do.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman hold up Anne's arm.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
You see this. This is the poison
going through her. Towards the
heart. The poison of a vampire.
                                                            
Governor Bonny upset fights to break free of his bonds but
can't. His voice muffled by the gag. You can see the fear in
his eyes.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
I know. I know. But here is the
proof.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman moves towards Anne, turns her head towards
the Governor, takes his thumb and lifts Anne's upper lip
exposing her fang. The governor's eyes widen in shock.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
The good news if you want to call
it that. Their are no bite marks
on her neck. The bad news is I
believe she has been pricked by a
vampire.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman shows Governor Bonny the bowl of cut up
mashed garlic.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
This is cut up garlic. I'm going
to rub this on the black sores and
I have to put some in her mouth.
                                                            

32.

Doctor Wickman turns to his men.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Hold her and get your stakes out.
                                                            
Hinrick is at Anne's feet reaches inside his duster and
pulls out two wooded stakes. He places them and his pistol
on the bed then holds Anne by her ankles. Otto positions
himself half on the bed, takes one hand and grabs her hair
the other hand under her jaw to open her mouth on the
Doctor's command. Gurhard cocks his pistol.
                                                            
                       GURHARD
Silver bullets loaded sir.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman looks over his men to make sure everyone is
ready. Then he puts his hand in the bowl of garlic mix
taking out a handful.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Ready. Otto as soon as I put this
on her arm open her mouth.
                                                            
Otto nods his head. Wickman looks one last time at the
governor then quickly spreads the garlic on Anne's arm.
She quickly starts to thrash around. Wickman grabs another
handful out of the bowl. Otto opens her mouth, he can see
her fangs as Wickman stuffs the garlic into her mouth. Otto
lets go.

Anne screams like she is on fire and sits up her eyes open.
Doctor Wickman and Hinrick restrain her.
Gurhard is aiming his pistol at her ready to kill her. Otto
holding a wooded stake above his head ready to stab her.
Anne gasping, spitting out garlic. She is not sure where she
is or who these men are. At last she sees her father.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY (scared)
Father!
                                                            
Doctor Wickman lets her go, she scampers across the bed to
her father with tears in her eyes so glad to see him.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
Father.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman takes the Governor's gag down, then unties
him.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY
Anne are you alright?
                                                            

33.

                       ANNE BONNY
Of course I'm alright. Why are
these men in my room? Who are
these men?
                                                            
Anne and her father embrace.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY
I'll explain everything.
                                                            
The governor looks up at Doctor Wickman.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Miss show me your teeth.
                                                            
Anne confused about that question.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
I'll not show you my teeth.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman cocks his pistol and points it at her. Anne
confused looks at her father he nods his head yes. She then
lifts her lips showing Wickman her teeth. They are normal
again. Wickman lowers his gun.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Untie these other ones.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - EVENING
                                                            
Dusk, Calico is sitting on deck near the wheel, drinking
rum, watching as the sun drops into the horizon. He has his
small fire burning in the iron pot. It's a beautiful quiet
night the only sound is the soothing CREAKING of the ships
boards as the ship gently rocks.

The loud SQUEALING of a pig down below breaks the silence.
The sound jolts Calico, his eyes wide open listening.
Then dead silence. Calico's eyes are focused on the
stairwell, he can hear her coming up the steps.

A very different looking beautiful and young Cassieo
appears, her hair now light brown. She is carrying a small
slab of pork ribs in her arms. She slowly walks over near
him. He is frozen by her good looks, she knows this to be
true and gives him a big smile. She sets the ribs down on a
nearby crate.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Captain Calico Criss.
                                                            
Calico stands up.
                                                            

34.

                       CALICO
At your service Miss.
                                                            
Cassieo smiles again, taking in a deep breath of evening
air.
                                                            
                       CALICO
You look different.
                                                            
Her eyes look up at the stars.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
It must be the star light. People
tell me I look better at night, do
you agree?
                                                            
Calico turns his head, bites his finger in excitement, then
turns back to her.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Yes I do agree.
                                                            
Cassieo looks around the empty deck, she looks up in the
riggings, then back down and spots the three caskets.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
The "Pegasus", yes this is the
"Pegasus". And you being a pirate.
This is yours now... yes?
                                                            
Calico shakes his head yes.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
May I.
                                                            
Cassieo strolls over to the caskets, Calico right near her,
follows, he points out the first two.
                                                            
                       CALICO
These two are empty.
                                                            
Cassieo kneels next to the third Rushka's casket putting her
hands on the lid.
                                                            
                       CALICO
You don't want to do that.
                                                            
Cassieo looks up at Calico.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I have to.
                                                            

35.

She slowly opens the casket and sees Rushka's skull and
bones looking back at her. She shuts the lid and lays her
head and hands on it crying and sobbing.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER (upset)
Rushka, Rushka my dear sister why
did they have to kill you.
                                                            
Cassieo stands up, tears rolling down her face, she turns to
Calico.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Can you please hold me?
                                                            
They embrace, her head is on his shoulder. Calico comforts
her.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
They killer her in her sleep. They
didn't have to kill her. And if I
ever find the man who shot her in
the head I'll rip his heart out.
                                                            
Calico eyes open wide and roll.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - NIGHT
                                                            
A small fire is burning, ribs are cooking. Calico and
Cassieo are sitting next to each other, back's against a
wall drinking rum.
                                                            
                       CALICO
A toast to your dear sister
Rushka.
                                                            
They click rum cups in a toast of rememberance.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Thank you. Calico if it's not too
much to ask, can you please bury
my sister at sea like you did with
Grist and the other men.If you
could do it tomorrow while I
sleep.
                                                            
Calico nods his head yes. Cassieo has a small map in her
hand and shows Calico, she points out a small island in the
Caribbean.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Here it is, this is the island my
grandfather hid his treasure.
                                                            

36.

Calico points to the spot on the map.
                                                            
                       CALICO
About here? That could take us a
month to get there.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Now we're partners and agree to
protect each other, you tell no
one I'm a vampire and I tell no
one you're a pirate correct?
                                                            
                       CALICO
Till death.
                                                            
They shake hands on it.
                                                            
                       CALICO
You say you're a vampire? I don't
see any fangs.
                                                            
Cassieo smiles at him.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Would you like to see them?
                                                            
                       CALICO
Just a peek.
                                                            
Cassieo has her mouth closed and runs her tongue around her
front teeth. Calico is moving his face closer for a better
look. Cassieo opens her mouth showing her fangs and hisses
at him. Startled, he continues to look to make sure of what
he is seeing.

The "Pegasus" is slowly drifting into the night with the
smaller "Rumrunner" in tow. Moonlight reflecting on the open
waters. There is nothing in sight but the dim light given
off by the small fire cooking their food.
                                                            
 
INT. GOVERNOR BONNY'S HOUSE DINNING ROOM - NIGHT

our ship the "REVENGE" has had a
loved one taken from us by a
vampire.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
I'm so sorry. What a horrible
thought.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
The vampires even though sometimes
looking human and acting as anyone
else would act. They are really
cold blooded killers. They feed on
human blood and will stop at
nothing when the hunger to feed is
out of control.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR GRAMBOW
Oh stop this nonsense. You're
scaring Anne. You have no proof of
this. Anne's fever broke because
of the medicines I gave her not
because of anything else.
                                                            
                       OTTO
Then how do you explain her fanged
teeth?
                                                            
                       DOCTOR GRAMBOW
Anne has no fangs, dear show them
you beautiful smile.
                                                            
Anne smiles.
                                                            
                       OTTO
Well she did have them. I saw them
when she gasped for a breath.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY
You're not saying my daughter is a
vampire are you that's just silly.
There is no such things as
vampires.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
No, no, not a vampire, but I
believe she was pricked by one.
Anne can you please think to the
last day you remember before
getting sick. What were you doing?
                                                            
Anne is trying to remember.
                                                            

38.

                       ANNE BONNY
Everything is foggy.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR GRAMBOW
Anne you don't have to play this
witchcraft game with these men.
                                                            
Anne suddenly sadden thinking about Zak as her memory slowly
returns.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
My fiance Zak, no one can tell me
where he is.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN (perks up)
Someone is missing?
                                                            
                       DOCTOR GRAMBOW
We believe Anne and Zak both had
the fever at the same time. Zak
went for help and has not been
heard from since. Hopefully once
his fever breaks, his memory will
return as well.
                                                            
                       HINRICK
Or perhaps the vampires have taken
him.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY
That's it, enough. You're men are
upsetting the ladies. I insist we
end this now. I have to ask you
gentlemen to leave.
                                                            
                       OTTO
Von and Purell are very good at
what they do.
                                                            
Anne is trying to think back, as the men rise from the table
to leave.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
My parting words Governor, Anne I
do apologize if our style on this
matter was harsh. We meant no
harm. But the fact of the matter
is, we have been tracking them for
a long time. We have seen what
they are capable of and it is a
serious matter.
                                                            
Anne trying still to remember.
                                                            

39.

                       DOCTOR GRAMBOW
Gentlemen in this day and age we
do not believe in witchcraft or
vampires.
                                                            
The men turn to exit and take a few steps to the door. Anne
calls out to them.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
Purell... Purell that was the
woman's name. Doctor Wickman wait.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY
No Anne don't get involved in
this. They are simply telling
bedtime stories to scare you. To
scare all of us.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
Father I'm remembering more now.
Please everyone sit and hear me
out. Let me try to put it all
together. I remember now.
                                                            
Everyone sits back down to listen.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
It was dusk. Stores were almost
all closed and the streets were
deserted. Zak and I were at the
dress shop.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR GRAMBOW
Oh Anne darling, that's where we
found you. You fell to the floor
and hit your head. You must have
fainted.
                                                            
                       HINRICK (forceful)
Hush Doctor, let her speak.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR GRAMBOW
Hold on. Anne, the seamstress was
at the shop when we found you. She
made no mention of anyone else
being in the store, let alone
vampires.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
No, no before that. I was looking
at a dress, and a very attractive
woman walked in. She was talking
to Zak. I went over to the two of
            (MORE)

40.

                       ANNE BONNY (cont'd)
them to introduce myself.
                                                            
Everyone's eyes were glued on Anne as she told her story.
Listening intently to every word.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
Then she said it, she said her
name Purell....Purell Kaiser.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman slaps his hand on the table.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
I knew it! She said her name
Kaiser, Purell Kaiser.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman reaches into his pocket, gently removes a
folded piece of paper with a drawing on it, he carefully
unfolds the brittle piece of paper.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Governor here is you proof. None
of us ever spoke the name Kaiser
but your daughter just rolled it
off her tongue, look here.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman carefully, but insistantly, hands the
Governor the paper. He examines the sketch of Von Kaiser's
likeness, and on the bottom is printed "Von Kaiser". Anne
excited to see the image takes it closer and studies it.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
That's the man. This man was in
the shop with her.
                                                            
                       GOVERNOR BONNY
Anne , how can you be so sure. You
weren't felling well. You fainted.
You can't be for certain.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
Oh father I'm sure. I remember
now, and this man was there too.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman nods his head in assurance to Otto.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Anne, please continue.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
I remember now Doctor. Something
pricked my hand. She claimed it
was her bracelet.
                                                            

41.

                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
No, we've heard this story before.
It wasn't the bracelet, it was her
sharp fingernail.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
I looked at the back of my hand
when it happened. There was a drop
of blood, but she was certain it
was just a scratch from the
bracelet.
                                                            
Then......Anne pauses like she's in dream land.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Take your time.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY (worrisome)
I became dizzy....
                                                            
Anne pauses looking worrisome.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
She slapped me. She slapped me
across the face.
                                                            
Then....Anne suddenly remembering the horrific timeline of
events remembers Purell slapping her, flashing her fangs at
her and hissing at her. The thoughts jolts Anne to the bone
and she is gasping in fear as she is describing the scene.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY (anguish)
She flashed me her fangs and
hissed and me.
                                                            
The men continuously looking at each other.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
I'm trying but that's the last
thing I remember.
                                                            
Anne looking exhausted from her recollections. Maid Sara
brings her a cup of tea and sets it in front of her
motioning to her to sip it.
                                                            
                       MAID SARA
Miss Anne, please drink this.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY (sadness)
They took him didn't they. They
took Zak.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman is watching Annes every move.
                                                            
 

42.

EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - AFTERNOON
                                                            
It's a bright beautiful day. The "Pegasus" is sailing
contently, but only has a few small sails operational, the
few that Calico was able to fix when he claimed the ship.
                                                            
 
INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - CONTINUOUS
                                                            
Inside the captain's quarters. It's dark. Heavy curtains
cover the windows. Calico and Cassieo are lounging at the
table with a few small candles lit. Calico is drinking rum.
Cassieo, a glass of wine.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
So now you know all the secrets of
vampires. How to kill them, how to
hurt them. A wooden stake through
the heart, a silver bullet through
the head or heart or sunlight.
With you being a fine swordsman, a
silver tipped sword through the
heart will work just as easily as
the others.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I see, these are things my dear
mother never taught me.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
My brother, sisters and I traveled
all over Europe, using many
different names.
                                                            
Cassieo chuckles.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
You are one of the few people who
even know my real name. We had the
very best tutors, that's why I
speak English so well. As well as
French, Spanish, German and
Russian.
                                                            
                       CALICO (concerned)
And you can't walk outside now?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
No, I would be dead in an instant.
                                                            
Calico points to a portion of the map by a few islands.
                                                            

43.

                       CALICO
Our problem is finding a crew. I
haven't told you this yet, but I
have a large price on my head.
                                                            
Cassieo smiles at him.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER (jokingly)
Oh dear I'm traveling with a
wanted man. I can also bet you
have a beautiful woman in every
port around the world.
                                                            
                       CALICO (bragging)
I have a few lady aquaintences in
every port. I have to stay on the
move, I'm the most wanted pirate
in the seven seas, every navy is
searching for me.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
See, we do have a lot in common.
You being hunted by every navy,
and me being hunted by every
vampire hunter.
                                                            
                       CALICO
There is one thing bad about
hosting a pirate crew. They all
want to be captain.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
That's where I'll be of help to
you. I can make sure no one takes
over your ship.
                                                            
Cassieo smiles showing Calico her fangs.
                                                            
                       CALICO
How am I supposed to protect you,
if we host a pirate crew or get
stranded on the mainland?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I know, we'll tell the crew I'm
your wife. I sleep during the day
because I'm the night watch. I
sail the ship at night that way we
keep moving day or night. You did
mention you would teach me to
sail.
                                                            

44.

                       CALICO
Pirates know of these
arrangements.
                                                            
Cassieo gets close to Calico and gracefully wraps her arm
around him.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I'm a very good actress, they'll
know I'm you woman, believe me.
                                                            
Calico looks her in the eyes and grins.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Calico, are you not wondering why
I have spoken to you all the
secrets of the vampires?
                                                            
                       CALICO
The thought has crossed my mind.
                                                            
Cassieo stands from the table and is slowly strolling around
it.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
We're not sure what happened on
this ship, are we? We know I was
left behind, left behind to stay
buried in the earthen underbelly
of this ship. We know Rushka was
killed, but what about my brother
Von and my sister Purell, what
happened to them?
                                                            
                       CALICO
I found this magnificant ship
floating on the seas, as a ghost
ship would. I discovered Captain
Grist and a few mates all dead. My
discoveries led to your sister and
to you.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I still worry if Von and Purell
some how, some way, made it off
this ship alive. And let's say
they did, the two of them will be
after the very same treasure I
have revealed to you. If we happen
to cross paths with them, we will
have to kill them, before they
kill us.
                                                            

45.

                       CALICO (concerned)
That's your brother.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Half brother and if he did on the
off chance get off the ship alive
and survive, why did he leave me
here to rot in my coffin? And how
could he let them kill Rushka?
                                                            
                       CALICO
He's still your brother.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Only in name, I have a hatred for
him for centuries. He is the one
who killed our father. He alone
killed him for power. Remember
with vampires it's all about who
is the one with all the power over
all the other vampires. There can
only be one.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Maybe the same men who killed
Rushka, killed him and Purell. And
rid the bodies overboard.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Maybe..let's hope so. But we
cannot be for certain just yet.
What you don't understand is my
sisters and myself feed. Feed on
blood yes, but only to stay alive,
just like you eat. But Von...Von
kills the innocent for sport.
                                                            
Cassieo takes a seat down next to the now sitting Calico.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
One thing Calico. That ring.
Rushka's ring. When we find the
treasure, you can have it all.
But, that ring, my sister's ring,
I would like to have it back in my
possession.
                                                            
Calico looks down at the ruby ring on his finger, then
slowly slides it off and places it in front of Cassieo.
Cassieo graciously picks it up.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Now do you trust me?
                                                            

46.

Cassieo smiles and slides the ring onto her finger.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
With my life.
                                                            
Calico stands again and slowly walks around the table.
                                                            
                       CALICO
We have to find and fit a crew
without wasting any more time.
                                                            
Cassieo has two, dark purple, velvet pouches with gold coins
in them sitting in front of her on the table.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
This money is now ours to use and
we can sell off the merchandise
down below. Clothing and items
that belonged to my sisters and
Von. They will get a good price
because of their quality of fabric
and craftsmanship.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Those items are your families.
Just like the ring, you should
keep those as remembrance of them.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
We're partners Calico, and you
speaking as you are and giving me
the ring are the reasons I know
for sure you weren't the one who
killed Rushka.
                                                            
Cassieo raises one of the velvet pouches filled with coins.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
At the foot of each casket there
is a hidden trap door where we
kept our gold and valuables.
Rushka's was untouched. Purell's
and Von's were gone.
                                                            
                       CALICO
How did I miss that?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
A new pirate trick I've now shown
you.
                                                            

47.

                       CALICO
How are we going to explain the
caskets to the new crewmen?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
You must be kidding. With their
silken fabric inside, they are
much more comfortable than laying
out on the hard deck or in a rope
hammock. Captain, I insist tonight
you must sleep in Von's casket.
                                                            
                       CALICO (concerned)
I'm not sure about that.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Trust me Calico you'll sleep like
a newborn baby. You yourself said
it would be nicer than anywhere
else on the ship to sleep.
                                                            
Cassieo smiles at him.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
And Captain, if you could, please
bring up my cello from below deck.
                                                            
Calico takes a single gold coin out of the velvet pouch and
places it in the palm of his hand.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Let me show you a pirate trick.
                                                            
Many times, Calico has used this magic trick to impress the
ladies. Cassieo looks at the coin in Calico's hand as he
covers it with a piece of cloth.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Now you see it.
                                                            
He quickly removes the cloth and the coin is gone.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Now you don't.
                                                            
Calico gives Cassieo a smile. But she is not to be out done
nor did she seem impressed by his magic. She reaches out her
open hand to Calico.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Put a coin in the palm of my hand.
An old vampire trick.
                                                            

48.

Calico takes another gold coin out of the velvet pouch and
places it in Cassieo's palm. She closes her hand over the
coin as Calico watches. Cassieo is squeezing her fist as
smoke comes out from between her fingers. Opening her hand,
all that is left of the coin is ashes still smoldering.
Turning her had over, the black ash falls like snow to the
deck. Calico looks on in disbelief.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - NIGHT
                                                            
Calico's face in a deep sleep. Calico is sound asleep in
Von's casket on deck, with a wooden plank propping the lid
up. It's a beautiful night and Cassieo is relaxed and
contently playing her cello. She gazes at him sleeping like
a baby as she knew he would.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER (to herself)
Calico darling if only you knew.
                                                            
Cassieo starts to play Bach's Suite # 1 in G major, the
"Pegasus" sails rhythmically away in the dark toeing the
"Rumrunner". The two boats seem to be dancing to her music
as they sail on the horizon.
                                                            
 
EXT. PORT JOHNSON - EVENING
                                                            
Port Johnson is a small harbor town that caters to pirates.
Tied to a dock, is the huge pirate ship The "EMPRESS" a ship
of the line, there are a few pirates guarding her. Not far
from the docks is the town pub, the Sea Shell. Von, Purell,
Zak, Strong and Cambridge approach the door to the pub but
stop to admire the "Empress".
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Now that's a ship in all her
beauty.
                                                            
A lady of the night opens the pub's door, inviting them in.
                                                            
                       NIGHT LADY
Care to join us?
                                                            
Von grins at her, as he and the others enter.
                                                            
 
INT. SEA SHELL PUB - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
The pub is crowded. Pirates from the "Empress" are eating,
drinking and very loud. Ladies of the night all about. All
are having a merry time. As soon as Purell, Von and crew
enter it starts to get quiet quickly as pirates eye them.

49.


As Purell looks at the pirates, they freeze in their tracks
looking back at her beauty. Von, not intimidated, spots an
open table and guides her to it. They all sit. A bar maid
quickly comes over to the table.
                                                            
                       BARMAID
Drink or food?
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
A glass of wine please.
                                                            
                       BARMAID
No wine, only rum or warm beer.
                                                            
Purell disappointed, lowers her head slightly shaking it.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
We'll all have rum. What foods do
you have?
                                                            
                       BARMAID
Only stew and bread.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Bring us all stew and bread.
                                                            
                       BARMAID
You pay now, two pieces.
                                                            
She puts her hand out. As Von pulls out his money pouch, the
pirates in the pub are watching his every move. Von reaches
in the velvet pouch and hands her two pieces of eight. She
leaves the table and the pirates start talking, drinking,
and moving about again. Across the room sitting at a table
is CAPTAIN CROW. He is a large man, captain of the
"Empress". A merciless pirate and a gambler. His eyes as
cold as the ocean.

Next to him is pirate NEPTUNE HORN a younger fit man who is
Crow's first mate. Pirate Horn gets up from the table and
stands in the center of the room. He has a dagger in his
hand and flips it in the air catching it a few times showing
off his skill. Von and Zak are closely watching him. Pirates
near by get out of his way.

Pirate Horn quickly throws the dagger across the room,
it sticks into the wall near the target he was aiming for, a
small square piece of wood nailed onto the wall.

The barmaid is bringing Von's table their rum and food.
Captain Crow whispers to a pirate at his table, the pirate
gets up and exits the pub. Pirate Horn walks over to

50.

retrieve his dagger then walks confidently back to the
center of the room.
                                                            
                       NEPTUNE HORN (cocky)
Anyone wish to throw the dagger
for a wager.
                                                            
Horn looks around the room for any takers.
Then Captain Crow laughing, speaks out as he stands up.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
What is the wager lad? And don't
waste my time.
                                                            
Captain Crow walks towards center room. People move out of
his way.
                                                            
                       NEPTUNE HORN
A years wage.
                                                            
Captain Crow laughs.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
Tell you what, I win I take your
wage, you win I double it. What
say you?
                                                            
                       NEPTUNE HORN
Done.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
Your throw.
                                                            
Captain Crow stands back to give Horn room. Everyone is
quiet watching Horn getting ready to throw his dagger at the
target. Von's enjoying the show as Horn throws his dagger.
It flies across the room sticking into the wall about a inch
below the piece of wood set as the target. Captain Crow
laughs.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
A good throw, a good throw indeed.
But men now I have to show you why
I'm the captain of the "Empress"
and you're not.
                                                            
Captain Crow turns away from the target takes two steps
farther from it and tips his hat to Purell, making sure her
eyes are on him.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
Miss.
                                                            

51.

Captain Crow quickly turns throwing his dagger. It flies
through the air and hits the target dead center. The crowd
cheers. Pirates congratulate Crow. Purell turns back to her
meal lifts the spoon out of the bowl, looks at it and lets
the stew fall back into the bowl.
She is startled when two wine glasses are set on the table
near her. When she looks up, there is Captain Crow holding a
bottle of wine.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW (very polite)
Miss. Can I pour you a glass?
                                                            
Purell smiles at him.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Yes sir. Please do.
                                                            
Captain Crow takes the cork out of the bottle with his teeth
then pours a glass for Purell then looks at Von.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
And you sir?
                                                            
Von holds out the other glass and Crow pours him some wine
then sets the bottle down.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Why thank you, would you like to
join us?
                                                            
Captain Crow slides a chair over and sits next to Purell.
Von extends his hand for a shake. Other pirates from Crow's
crew are near, keeping a good eye on Von's party but
especially Von.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
I'm Count Von Kaiser and this is
my sister Purell.
                                                            
Captain Crow shakes his hand then looks at Purell, who lifts
her wine glass to him then takes a sip.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW (arrogant)
I'm Captain John Crow, I captain
and own the "Empress". You may
have see her outside.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER (ditsy)
Oh my! That large ship docked
outside is yours?
                                                            

52.

                       CAPTAIN CROW
Aye, Purell, my ship. And your his
sister. My my.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (with suprise)
And I must say. You and your men
look like pirates.
                                                            
Captain Crow not sure what to make of that remark. He gets a
little cocky. Nearby pirates perk up.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW (cocky)
Aye, this is a pirate town and yes
we are pirates. Very nasty
pirates.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Oh good. That's what I want to be.
A pirate.
                                                            
Captain Crow laughs.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
A pirate. Aye.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Well not just a pirate, but a
pirate captain like you.
                                                            
Captain Crow laughs.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
It's not that easy.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
But I could make it easy.
                                                            
Captain Crow looks around the table sizing them up. He then
glances around the pub at some of his pirate crewmen.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW (inquisitive)
And how might you do that?
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
The way I see it, you and I have a
lot in common. We both love
beautiful things, and we both like
a good wager.
                                                            
The pub is quieting down as more people are trying to
eavesdrop. Captain Crow focusing now his attention to
Purell, She smiles back flirtatiously. Captain Crow is now

53.

seriously thinking about the offer of having Von be a
captain.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW (forceful)
I've killed over twenty men in
duels. In order to have the right
stand in the position where I'm
standing today. Including having
my faithful crew, money and the
most prized "Empress".
                                                            
Von chuckles and smiles.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Why, that's even better yet. I've
only killed ten men in pistol
duels myself.
                                                            
Captain Crow is puzzled where this is going, changing the
subject. Addressing Purell.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
Would you like another bottle of
wine?
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (menacing)
No! I don't want a bottle of wine
I want your ship.
                                                            
Captain Crow grabs his pistol and keeping his hand on it,
intently slams it on the table. The pub is now in dead
silence.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
Nobody takes my ship.
                                                            
Von very happily smiling at Captain Crow.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Not even for a good wager?
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
You have nothing I want nothing
worth the "Empress".
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Nothing?
                                                            
Von looking around thinking.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Not even my beautiful sister
Purell?
                                                            

54.

Captain Crow laughs.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
If I wanted your sister I would
easily kill you and take her for
myself.
                                                            
Von looking disappointed.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
And here I thought you were a man
of wager, a man of sport I was
mistaken.
                                                            
Captain Crow looks at Purell.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
One thing you don't understand
captain is that I hate my brother
He treats his dogs better than he
does me. And I'm worth more in
gold and treasure than that ship
of yours will ever be worth.
                                                            
Purell stands.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
How many men here would die to
have me as their woman?
                                                            
The pirates all cheer loudly at her question. Purell sits
back down proving her point. She looks at Captain Crow as
she lovingly puts her hand on top of his.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER (flirtatious)
If you beat him in the wager, I
can be yours.
                                                            
There is silence waiting on Captain Crows respond. Crow
looks at Purell a little anxiously.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
You would be mine?
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER (serious)
As long as you want me for.
                                                            
The pub continues in silence to see if there will be a wager
to win.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW
Von! Pistols or daggers?
                                                            

55.

The pirates all cheer for the duel. Captain Crow is standing
in the center of the room dagger in his hand, ready to
throw. Lifting the dagger, he takes aim and throws. The
dagger lands about a inch below the target. The pirates
cheer as Crow confidentally walks down to take a look at
where his dagger had landed. Von steps to the center, he too
takes aim then throws his dagger. A perfect hit bull's eye.
The pirates all cheer. Von raises his arms in victory.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (bragging)
You may now call me Captain Von
Kaiser.
                                                            
In his angry fit of defeat, Crow yanks his dagger from the
wall and then turns to Von.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN CROW (angry)
Nobody takes my ship!
                                                            
Captain Crow takes the dagger in hand and throws it towards
Von. As it quickly flies through the air, Von easily lifts
his hand and catches the dagger before it hits into his
chest. Von looks at the dagger and throws it back at Captain
Crow, it hits Crow in his heart. Captain Crow falls to the
floor dead with a THUD.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (pompous)
It's my ship now!
                                                            
All in the pub are silent at the site of what they just
witnessed. Everyone is watching Von. Von starts to
confidently walk towards the door.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
My ship is leaving now. If you men
want to be part of the crew... get
aboard.
                                                            
Von continues out the door not looking back to see if anyone
is even following him. As he confidentlly knew, most of the
pirates are filing out of the pub behind him. As Purell is
walking out though, the barmaid glares at her.
                                                            
                       BARMAID
I guess you didn't get everything
you wanted did you?
                                                            
 
EXT. REVENGE GUN SHIP - MORNING
                                                            
Crewmen are bring the last of their supplies aboard the
"Revenge". On deck Anne Bonny, Governor Bonny, and Doctor
Wickman are saying farewells.
                                                            

56.

                       GOVERNOR BONNY
Anne please, please don't go.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
I have to.
                                                            
The ships bell rings to gather the crew for Doctor Wickman's
announcement. The crew gathers as the Governor gives Anne a
hug. Doctor Wickman introduces Anne.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Men this is Anne Bonny. She will
be going with us. It is most
important we protect her with our
very lives. Not just because she
is a beautify young lady.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman turns and looks at Anne. She grins.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
But because she is risking her
very life for all of us.
                                                            
The crew cheers.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Miss Bonny has recently spotted
Von Kaiser and knows how he looks
these days.
                                                            
The crew cheers, Wickman quiets them.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
And better yet, she has seen
Purell Kaiser and can identify her
as well.
                                                            
The crew cheers. Wickman quiets them.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
We also know now they were here
but two weeks ago. They left on a
merchant ship heading West.
Revenge is ours! Our loved ones
they took from us will be
revenged!
                                                            
The crew cheers!
British officer CAPTAIN ROGG approaches Doctor Wickman.
                                                            

57.

                       CAPTAIN ROGG
Sir the Royal Navy has sent my
orders, I'm under your command for
the next eight months.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
The Royal Church has it's ways.
                                                            
Captain Rogg shows Doctor Wickman a map and points to a
location on it.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN ROGG
Were still fitting our ships,
we'll meet up with you in two
weeks here.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Very well Captain Rogg.
                                                            
Captain Rogg salutes Doctor Wickman.
                                                            
 
EXT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - EVENING
                                                            
All of Von's new nasty looking pirate crew is gathered on
deck waiting to hear a few words from their new captain. Von
neatly dressed is making his way through the pirates from
the bow to the captain's deck making eye contact with the
pirates as he does. He stops and turns to address them.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Most of you men have been at sea
for years, I have not.
                                                            
The pirate crew intensely listen to him.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Most of you men have been pirates
all your life, I have not.
                                                            
Von looking over his new crew as he speaks.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
But this is my ship and I'm your
captain. So I guess I have to
prove a few things to you. Who
here is the strongest man?
                                                            
The pirates look around at each other.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Come on, don't be shy, who amongst
you is a killer, a real killer?
                                                            

58.

The pirates look around at each other. Von laughs at them.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
No one will fight me to the death
for this ship? I'll even let you
have my sister Purell if you kill
me.
                                                            
Purell is standing with zombie looking Zak Smith, Strong,
and Cambridge. Who are still under her spell and control.
Zak takes a step forward but Purell puts her arm out and
stops him.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
No!
                                                            
Zak stands down.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (angry)
What do I have here a crew of
Nancy girls! I'll use no weapons,
you can use your sword and a
dagger.
                                                            
Von raises his arms turning showing he's unarmed.
                                                            
PIRATE CRENNEL a large nasty looking pirate makes his way
through the men up towards Von. He hands off his pistol to a
pirate, he has his sword in one hand and his dagger in the
other. All the crew still watching as Crennel is about five
feet away from Von.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
What's you name pirate?
                                                            
                       CRENNEL
Crennel, sir.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Very well Crennel, show me no
quarter, because I'll show none.
                                                            
                       CRENNEL
Very well. Sir. I'll just kill
you.
                                                            
Crennel grits his teeth as he pumps himself up. The two men
get closer and eye each other. Von smiles at him.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (taunting)
Well do something you bloody tart.
                                                            

59.

Crennel swings his sword at Von's head, Von ducks down and
as Crennel's arm passes over Von punches Crennel in the
ribs, everyone can hear them BREAK. Crennel stagers in pain
then quickly turns and thrusts his sword at Von's chest, it
misses as Von traps Crennel's right arm under his left. He
smashes Crennel's right forearm with his right forearm,
everyone can hear Crennel's forearm BREAK.

Crennel in a lot of pain manages to hold onto Von and sticks
his dagger into Von's back right shoulder blade, it has no
effect on Von. Von places both his hands on Crennel's face,
looks him in the eye, smiles, and then SNAPS his neck.
Crennel falls dead to the deck. The crew staring at Von as
he casually brushes himself off. Pirate DASH FULTON is
standing nearby.
                                                            
                       DASH FULTON
Sir, you have a dagger stuck in
your back.
                                                            
Von with his right hand reaches back over his shoulder and
pulls the dagger out of his back, he looks at it, then
throws it across the deck. THUMP it sticks in the main mast
post.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Let that remind you who the
captain is on this ship.
                                                            
The crew looking at the dagger stuck in the mast post.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - DAY
                                                            
A beautiful day as the "Pegasus" cuts through the sea.
Calico is behind the wheel. Looking through his spyglass,
off in the distance he spots three rag tag pirates, Pirate
PETER SMITH, Pirate TAR JONES and Pirate CATSKIN on a poor
looking bamboo raft with rags as a sail. They are waving,
yelling for help.
                                                            
 
INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
In the captains quarter its dark as Calico enters moving
aside a heavy curtain. Heavy curtains cover the windows to
keep the light out for Cassieo's protection from light. He
goes over to her casket and taps on it. Cassieo lifts the
lid a few inches.
                                                            

60.

                       CALICO
Their are three pirates stranded
on a raft a few miles out. I have
to pick them up.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I understand Calico. Remember our
plan, I'm your woman, I sleep
during the day. I'm scared Calico
but I trust you.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - LATER
                                                            
Calico is throwing a line over the side. He watches as the
three rag tag pirates climb over the side onto the deck.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
Thank you sir. Thank you.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
You saved our lives sir.
                                                            
They make introductions.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
Sir, I'm Peter this is Tar and
this is Catskin.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I'm Captain Calico Criss, welcome
aboard the "Pegasus".
                                                            
Calico notices the letter p shaped scar on Peter's wrist.
Peter notices it being eyed so he tries to hide it with his
other hand. Then Calico, not being ashamed, reveals his
scar as well.
                                                            
                       CALICO
You be pirate?
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
Aye sir, all of us. We were ship
wrecked about two months ago.
                                                            
Calico hands them tin cups, then pours them some rum.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Sir there are ten more poor souls
on a small island just to the West
of here if you would like more
loyal men for crew.
                                                            

61.

Pirate Tar points off to the West. Calico notices something
hanging from Tar's hand. A wound leather chord wrapped
through his fingers and thumb, tied to his wrist, with a
little lead ball at the end. This of course, is a pirate's
choking weapon.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
It's not a far sail, we could be
there before the sun sets if we
leave soon.
                                                            
 
EXT. MAROONED ISLAND - EVENING
                                                            
The sun is just setting, the "Pegasus" is now anchored near
the western island beach.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - EVENING
                                                            
The last of the ten stranded pirates is helped aboard.
Calico begins to look over the new pirates he has on board.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Welcome aboard the "Pegasus". I'm
Captain Calico Criss.
                                                            
Pirate VICTOR QUINN stands out among the men. He's taller
and rough looking. He is the one that the others look to as
their leader.
                                                            
                       VICTOR QUINN
I'm Victor, I was the first mate
on the "LONG SWORD" pirate ship
before she when down, taking
several crew and our Captain Beech
with her.
                                                            
Calico nods his head to him.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Victor.
                                                            
Pirate Victor is looking around the ships deck.
                                                            
                       VICTOR QUINN
Where's your crew captain? I don't
see any crewmen.
                                                            

62.

                       CALICO
They were killed in a dispute
recently. It is now just my first
mate and I. She, however, is
aleep at the moment.
                                                            
                       VICTOR QUINN
She? There's a woman on board?
                                                            
The pirates all look at each other like they just found a
treasure.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Yes, there is a women on board but
she belongs to me and is off
limits to everyone. That's rule
number one on this ship. See that
captain's door?
                                                            
The pirates look at the captain's door.
                                                            
                       CALICO
No one except her and I go through
that door. Is that understood?
                                                            
The pirates agree.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Rule number two. No one touches
her. Is that understood?
                                                            
The pirates agree. Peter looks at Victor.
                                                            
                       VICTOR QUINN
Aye sir.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Then we should get along just
fine. I live by the code.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
We too captain. We live and die by
the code.
                                                            
Calico is looking at the sun just about to go down.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Miss Cassieo will be out for
introductions shortly. She runs
the night crew for me. Her and I
will split you men, half with me
sailing the day, half with her
sailing the night.
                                                            

63.

A slender nervous pirate, wearing wire rimmed glasses,
DOCTOR TREESAP,steps forward.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP (nervous)
Sir, I'm Doctor Treesap, I was the
physician on the Long Sword.
                                                            
Victor barks out.
                                                            
                       VICTOR QUINN (angry)
You ain't no doctor!
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
I have helped many a wounded
pirate.
                                                            
                       VICTOR QUINN
Helped them to a early grave.
                                                            
The pirates laugh at Doctor Treesap. Pirate Tar lowers his
tattered shirt exposing a large ugly scar on his back
shoulder.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Captain Calico take a look at
this.
                                                            
Calico's eyes widen as he looks at the ugly scar.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
It was a mini ball only this big.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP (nervous)
You're still alive.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
The infection you gave me lasted
two months.
                                                            
Pirate Tar gets angry. He grabs Treesap positions his fist
as if he's going to hit him. Calico stops the possible fist
a cuffs.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Rule number three. No fighting
amongst ourselves on this ship.
                                                            
The sun has recently gone down under the horizon and the
captain's door slowly creeps open. All the pirates are fixed
on it awaiting to see what emerges. Beautiful Cassieo steps
gracefully out of the doorway. The pirates are awe struck as
she glides over near Calico and takes his arm.
                                                            

64.

                       CASSIEO KAISER
Captain, what do we have here?
                                                            
                       CALICO
These are pirates I picked up that
were ship wrecked.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Pirates you say. That's good. Just
like you and I.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Miss. You're a pirate?
                                                            
Cassieo smiles at him.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Yes I'm a pirate. A very bad
pirate.
                                                            
Pirate Tar gives her a big smile back. Calico starts making
introductions.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Cassieo this is Tar.
                                                            
Cassieo shakes his hand.
                                                            
                       CALICO
And this is Peter.
                                                            
She shakes his hand.
                                                            
                       CALICO
And this is Doctor Treesap.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Doctor?
                                                            
                       VICTOR QUINN (angry)
He ain't no doctor!
                                                            
Pirate Tar pulls his shirt down to show her the ugly scar.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES (upset)
Here miss! Look what that butcher
did to me.
                                                            
Cassieo sees the scar then gently runs her fingers over it.
                                                            

65.

                       CASSIEO KAISER
Captain, maybe I could help the
good doctor. You know, helping the
wounded.
                                                            
                       CALICO
That's not a good idea. You know
how you hate the sight of blood.
                                                            
Cassieo grins at Criss.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I have an idea captain. Why don't
we make a fire and slaughter a few
of your chickens. We can all have
a nice meal to celebrate our new
crew.
                                                            
Pirate Tar eager to help her.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
I'll help you Miss. And Miss I
want to be part of the night crew.
                                                            
All the pirates want to be in her favor.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
Captain put me down for the night
crew.
                                                            
Cassieo making her way to the stairs to go below, all the
pirates following her. All except Victor. Calico looks at
Victor.
                                                            
                       VICTOR QUINN
I'll sail the day sir with you. If
that's alright?
                                                            
Calico nods his head at him.
                                                            
 
EXT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - EVENING
                                                            
Von and Pirate Dash are with crewmen on deck showing Von how
to fire a swivel cannon. Von aims the cannon then lights the
wick the cannon fires BOOM. Von is pleased he's learning
everything about his new ship and new pirates life.

He walks by four pirates working hard but struggling pulling
up the main sail, all four tugging on the line.
Von takes hold of the line, and looks at the pirates.
                                                            

66.

                       VON KAISER
Let it go. I have it.
                                                            
The pirates let the line go and are surprised to see Von by
himself hoist the sail up with his super human strength.
Von is tying the line down as Purell approaches him.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Von, can we talk in private?
                                                            
 
INT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
In the Captain's quarters Purell is sipping a glass of wine
sitting at the table with Von. He is drinking a mug of rum.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
I was thinking after we have
grandfather's fortune we can
purchase a large vila in South
America.
                                                            
Von shaking his head no.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
I don't think so. I'm in no hurry
to get grandfather's treasure.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
No hurry? That was our plan.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
The plans have changed.
                                                            
Purell is upset and bites her bottom lip.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Von what do you mean the plans
have changed?
                                                            
Von smiles at her.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
I like being a pirate.
                                                            
Purell puts her head down shaking it no. She's upset.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Von don't do this to me. These men
are foul, this ship is foul.
                                                            

67.

                       VON KAISER
Purell, were running from vampire
hunters. I'm not running anymore.
This is perfect. Their in a ship,
were in a ship, a warship. We'll
sink them. No more hunters.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
And what if they sink us first, or
have the whole Royal Navy after
us?
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
You saw how quickly I got this
ship. So what is to stop me from
getting ten or twenty more. A
whole fleet of pirate ships.
                                                            
Purell stands and starts to get salty with Von.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
You are either going mad or are
drunk from drinking to much.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
And blood, this has never been so
easy. If your hungry just grab a
pirate. When your done with him
just throw him over board, no one
cares.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
These pirates are fowl, it's like
sucking the blood out of a rat.
                                                            
Von stands and gets salty right back at her.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Dear sister any time you want off,
just say the word.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER (angry yelling at him)
You would like to leave me behind.
So all the treasure is yours. Just
like you left Cassieo and Rushka
behind!
                                                            
Von gets really angry at her and shows his fangs.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (angry)
We did what we had to do that
night!
                                                            

68.

                       PURELL KAISER
No Von. You did what you had to
do. I blame you for our sisters
deaths.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (very angry)
Don't you ever say their names
again!
                                                            
Purell seeing Von is upset is afraid of him and sits back
down and gathers herself.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
I'm sorry, I just miss our
sisters.
                                                            
Von calms down and sits back down.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Purell, I miss them as well. And
who knows maybe they did get off
the ship.
                                                            
His eyes have a red demon glow.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - NIGHT
                                                            
The "Pegasus" is cutting through the sea as if excited to
have a new crew aboard. On deck near the bow, pirate Victor,
PIRATE MILO and PIRATE RINGER are listening to Cassieo
playing the cello. Pirate Tar is behind the wheel. Cassieo
finishes her song and retires into the captai's quarters.
                                                            
                       VICTOR QUINN
Tonight's the night I take over
this ship. I'm going through that
door.
                                                            
Milo and Ringer look at the closed captain's door. Victor
holds up his knife so that the blade reflects the moonlight.
                                                            
                       VICTOR QUINN
I'm going to make my way through
that door and I'm going to slit
Captain Calico's throat from ear
to ear.
                                                            
Victor tucks the knife behind his hand.
                                                            
                       RINGER
What about Miss Cassieo?
                                                            

69.

                       VICTOR QUINN
I'm not worried about no woman.
The next time you see me walk out
of that door, I'll be your new
captain.
                                                            
The three pirates start walking towards the wheel. Pirate
Tar is manning the wheel as Milo and Ringer approach, in
order to be a distraction to what Victor is about to do.
                                                            
                       MILO
Tar do you think we need more trim
on that sail?
                                                            
While Pirate Tar looks up at the sails, Victor slips around
behind him making his way next to the captain's door.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
No, they look fine to me, but we
could use a better breeze.
                                                            
                       MILO
We can't sleep, we'll sit up here
with you for awhile.
                                                            
Milo and Ringer watch as Victor slowly open the door. He
sneaks in and shuts the door behind him. Milo and Ringer
look at each other as the "Pegasus" sails in the night.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MORNING
                                                            
The sun is rising. Milo and Ringer are still watching the
closed door. The door slowly opens, Captain Calico emerges
slightly out of the doorway, then turns to grab something
behind him. Milo and Ringer walk over to take a better
look. Calico is dragging out the dead body of Victor. Calico
sees Milo and Ringer and calls them over.
                                                            
                       CALICO
You two, wrap this body for burial
find a plank and get all the hands
on deck.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - LATER
                                                            
A somber moment for the burial at sea for Victor. Milo and
Ringer are holding the end of the plank Victor's wrapped
body is on. All the pirates quietly waiting for Calico to
say a few words. Calio approaches the plank.
                                                            

70.

                       CALICO
I shall say only a few words. Last
night, Victor tried to sneak into
my quarters with the idea to slit
my throat and take over my ship.
                                                            
Calico eyes each of the pirates. He runs the blade of
Victor's knife across Victor's neck in a cutting motion.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Bad idea.
                                                            
Calico lifts the plank and Victor's body slides off into the
sea. Calico turns and saunders away. The "Pegasus" sails on
with the "Rumrunner" still in tow.
                                                            
 
EXT. PORT AUGUSTO - DAY
                                                            
Port Augusto is a trading port that tolerates pirates
soleyly for their goods. Three ships are tied to the docks.
Nearby the "Pegasus" pirates roll barrels of water and rum
down a ramp onto her deck. Others carry sacks of rice and
grains on board.
                                                            
 
INT. PUB AMAYA - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
The pub only has a few patrons at this time of day but
sitting at a table is Calico, Peter Smith, and Pirate Tar
talking and drinking rum. Calico is counting out gold coins
and hands them over to Pirate Peter.
                                                            
                       CALICO
How many new crewmen?
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
Forty more good crew.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Here is the last of the gold, make
sure we have all the supplies for
our voyage.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
We have food, water, rum, and
extra powder. We sold off many of
Miss Cassieo's belongings.
                                                            

71.

                       CALICO
The merchant didn't have enough
money to buy all her items. I told
him we'll be back to collect on
anything he sells.
                                                            
The door opens and Doctor Treesap walks over to Calico, he's
carrying a sword in its sheath. He hands the sword over to
Calico.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP
The blacksmith had your sword
ready. He's still working on
putting the silver tip on your
dagger and will polish it up for
you.
                                                            
Calico inspects the sword. The silver tip is noticeable and
a pure silver designed inlay runs down the blade.
                                                            
                       CALICO
This is fine craftsmanship. We've
been here four days. Tonight we
sail. Pass the word.
                                                            
Treesap hands Calico a velvet pouch. Calico peeks inside,
it's filled with silver ball shots. He takes three out,
inspects them and rolls them into his pocket. He hands the
pouch back to Treesap.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Divide these out to the crew. Tell
them not to use these silver shots
unless Casseo or myself say to do
so.
                                                            
Calico is interrupt by the sound of horses riding up outside
the pub. Loooking out the window, he sees ten Spanish
cavalry in uniform dismounting.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
They tell us the Spanish soldiers
won't bother us. They think we
hate the British.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I hope you're right.
                                                            
The soldiers enter. A few sit at tables another approaches
the bar maide. LIEUTENANT CARLOS approaches Calico.
                                                            

72.

                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS
Good afternoon, have you pirates
sunk any Brit's lately?
                                                            
Lieutenant Carlos smiles at Calico.
                                                            
                       CALICO
We'll be out tonight looking for
them.
                                                            
The Lieutenant smiles, pats Calico on the arm, then returns
to his men.
                                                            
                       CALICO
You men get back on the ship. I
have to reunite with my dagger at
the blacksmith shop. I'll catch
up.
                                                            
Calico and his men start to leave the pub. The Spanish
soldiers watch them as they leave. One Soldier makes solid
eye contact with Calico.
                                                            
 
INT. BLACKSMITH STABLE SHOP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico is inspecting his new silver tipped dagger. The
BLACKSMITH is nearby.
                                                            
                       CALICO
You do nice work.
                                                            
                       BLACKSMITH
I've been doing this work all my
life.
                                                            
Calico and the blacksmith hear horses ride up to the stable
doors. Calico looks and sees a cloud of dust, its the same
ten Spanish cavalry soldiers. Calico looks at the blacksmith
then back to the soldiers dismounting.
                                                            
                       BLACKSMITH
Shoes for their horses.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Thanks again.
                                                            
Calico starts to walk out, but as soon as he reaches the
doorway the soldiers pull their pistols and aim them at
Calico. A soldier disarms Calico of his new dagger.
Lieutenant Carlos approaches. Calico just smiles at him.
                                                            

73.

                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS
This is the man?
                                                            
The soldier nods his head yes.
                                                            
 
INT. BLACKSMITH STABLE SHOP - LATER
                                                            
The blacksmith standing in the stable doorway looks at
Calico sitting upright on a horse. His hands are tied behind
his back The cavalry rides off with him.
                                                            
 
EXT. FORT AUGUSTO - EVENING
                                                            
The sun is setting. Nearby the stables, MAJOR SANTOS the
cavalry fort commander, he is a harsh arrogant man who is
talking with CAPTAIN DOMINGO. The men are standing near two
of Major Santos's beautiful saddled Andalusian Spanish
horses. One horse is as jet black as the night the other
stark white.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
She purchased these for me in
Bocado Stud Spain.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN DOMINGO
They are the finest horses I have
ever seen Sir.
                                                            
They are interrupted as Lieutenant Carlos walks over with
Calico, hands tied behind his back still and flanked by four
soldiers with muskets.
                                                            
                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS
Sir. I have the pirate.
                                                            
Major Santos puts his hand up to silence Lieutenant Carlos.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
Can't you see I'm talking with
Captain Domingo. But I'm glad both
of you are here now. I want you to
know this.
                                                            
The Major pats the black horse on the neck.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
These two horses mean everything
to me. My daughter had them sent
to me from Boca-do Stud, Spain
before she passed on. This black
one is Maximo.
                                                            

74.

He pats Maximo on the neck then moves over to the white
horse.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
This one is Octavio.
                                                            
He pats Octavio on the neck.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
At all cost, I want every man at
this fort to protect these horses
with their very lives....Is this
clear?
                                                            
                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS
Yes sir.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN DOMINGO
Yes sir.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
These horses are my very life. Now
what about this pirate?
                                                            
                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS
This is a wanted pirate. Wanted by
the British.
                                                            
Lieutenant Carlos reaches in his pocket and hands the Major
a folded poster. The Major unfolds it and looks at a drawing
with the likeness of Calico Criss. The words printed on it
read "WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE", "Pirate Calico", "5000 pieces
of eight", THE ROYAL NAVY".
                                                            
                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS
This is Captain Calico Criss.
                                                            
The Major gets angry and yells at Calico.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS (angry and loud)
You are no captain! He's a
captain.
                                                            
The Major motions to Captain Domingo.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
Lock him up. No, no wait.
                                                            
The Major approaches the solider holding Calico's sword,
pistols, dagger, and compass. He grabs Calico's sword and
fixes it to a leather strap on his horse Maximo.
He then takes Calico's pistols looks at them and reads the
engraving on Captain's Grist's pistol.
                                                            

75.

                       MAJOR SANTOS
You stole this.
                                                            
The Major puts Calico's pistols, dagger and compass in a
saddle bag on Maximo.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
I have a much better idea.
Tomorrow the British envoy will be
here to discuss our truce with
them.
                                                            
The Major mounts Maximo. Captain Domingo mounts Octavio. The
Major looks down at Calico and The Lieutenant.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS (forceful)
Lieutenant take this pirate into
the courtyard. Tie him to the
post. Take these four soldiers
with you. And shoot him.
                                                            
Calico's eyes open wide.
                                                            
                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS (nervous)
Sir, I have never done a firing
squad.
                                                            
The Major laughs.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS (sarcastically)
Then. Lieutenant cut off his head
and put it in a sack for me.
                                                            
                       CALICO
That's not necessary.
                                                            
The Major smiles at Calico.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
Oh, but it is! Tomorrow when the
British envoy arrive, I will
present them with your sword and
pistols. Then I will reach into
the sack and present them with
your head.
                                                            
The Major laughs.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
Captain, can you see the looks on
their faces when I pull out pirate
Calico's head?
                                                            

76.

The Major laughs, the Captain smiles.
                                                            
                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS
But Sir.
                                                            
The Major gets stern.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS (forceful)
These are your orders. Ready, aim,
fire, dead pirate, cut off his
head.
                                                            
The Major slowly starts to walk Maximo then stops. He turns
to look back at Lieutenant Carlos.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
Lieutenant, Captain Domingo and I
are riding into town now. This
only takes us a few minutes.
Before I arrive at town, I want to
hear gunshots. So I know this
pirate is dead. Do you understand?
                                                            
                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS
Yes Sir.
                                                            
Major Santos smiles at Calico.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
See pirate Calico, with God's help
my plan is to rid the Caribbean of
pirates.
                                                            
Calico grins back at him.
                                                            
                       CALICO
If you want to make God laugh,
tell him your plans.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS (angry)
Shoot him! Then cut off his head!
                                                            
Major Santos and Captain Domingo slowly ride away.
                                                            
 
EXT. FORT AUGUSTO COURT YARD - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Torches light the area. Calico is tied with a thick rope to
the wood firing post. On the wall behind him, there are many
bullet holes from previous executions. Lieutenant Carlos
offers Calico a blind fold, he shakes his head no. The
Lieutenant moves to his position with the firing squad,
takes out his sword and raises his arm with it. Calico has a

77.

worried look on his face but for some reason,he knows it is
not yet his time to die.
                                                            
                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS
Ready!
                                                            
The soldiers ready their muskets.
                                                            
                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS
Aim!
                                                            
The soldiers aim their muskets at Calico. Calico is
carefully waiting and watching the liutenant. Something
catches the liutenant's eyes as they open wide. He is
looking above Calico on the top of the wall. Behind Calico
is a dark shadow of a human looking gargoyle vampire with
its wings outstretched. The Lieutenant points his sword at
it.
                                                            
                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS (concerned)
What is that?
                                                            
The beast shows it fangs and hisses at the soldiers as they
all stare up in awe. It flaps its wings and flies down
landing on the top of the post Calico is tied to, its claw
like talons, dig into the wood post.
                                                            
                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS
Shoot that beast!
                                                            
 
EXT. DIRT ROAD TO TOWN - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Major Santos and Captain Domingo riding down the road, hear
four muskets shots from the fort in the distance. They stop
their horse and pause. Look at each other, both knowing what
the shots meant, then grin.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
Dead pirate.
                                                            
They ride on.
                                                            
 
EXT. FORT AUGUSTO COURT YARD - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
The gargoyle vampire is tugging at the post, its wings
flapping trying to pull the post free from the ground.
Calico's eyes look up, he's scared but can't do a thing
about it. The terrified soldiers are trying to reload their
muskets. Soldiers are dropping their muskets and running for
cover.
Another, so nervous, he tries to get his ram rod down the

78.

barrel in order to proctect himself and shoot, but he is
unsuccefull. Another is on his knees praying that the beast
retreats. The gargoyle vampire is pulling and pulling
flapping its wings upwards. Calico looks up at the winged
creature, then closes his eyes.

At last the post breaks free of the ground. Lieutenant
Carlos is frozen with fear, his sword pointed still at the
vampire as it takes off with Calico. The creature takes the
post with Calico still attached up and over the wall then
briskly out of sight.
                                                            
 
EXT. OUTSIDE THE FORT - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
The gargoyle vampire is flying, flapping its wings getting
higher and higher. Calico opens his eyes to see the fort
below him and that he seems to be floating in the air
leaving the area.
                                                            
 
EXT. FARTHER OUTSIDE THE FORT - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
The gargoyle like vampire is flying over a jungle area. It
is struggling with Calico's weight to keep above the
treetops. The bottom of the post is brushing and dipping
into the canopy of the jungle. The creature can't hold on
any longer, it releases the post with Calico sliding and
holding tight.

At the beasts release, Calico drops through the air,
crashing through the tree branches and vines. The SNAPPING
branches are half heartly breaking his fall. Half way down
the post gets tangled on a thick jungle vine. Calico is up
in the vines. Looking around, measuring his situation, still
tied to the post, he realizes he is quite tangled in the
vines. Although he is thankful he did not have the crash
landing he was bracing for. He tries jerking his body to
free himself.

With a loud CRACK the vine breaks sending Calico barreling
down towards the ground. He lets out a shriek as this was
what he was awaiting just moments before The post now
upright, sticks in the ground with Calico in a standing
position. He struggles with the post and the ropes but they
won't budge. He's stuck in the dark jungle, in the same
position he was in right before the beast showed, except now
there is no firing squad aimed at him. So although rattled
and still tied, he is grateful to still be alive.
                                                            
 

79.

EXT. FORT AUGUSTO - NIGHT
                                                            
Lieutenant Carlos and his cavalry men are saddling and
mounting their horses to go after Calico.
                                                            
                       LIEUTENANT CARLOS
Get after him! We must bring him
back. The Major will punish all of
us.
                                                            
 
EXT. WOODS - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Fog hangs in the air as the jungle sits in a dark and quiet
state. Tired from struggling to try and free himself, Calico
remains upright and hangs his head in exhaustion. Crickets
start CHIRPING. A frog CROCKS. Then for a moment it's
silent. The HOWLING of a wild dog makes Calico alert. His
eyes scanning the area as much as he can in the darkness.
The BUZZING sound of large insects close to him aggitates
him as he shakes his head to clear it from his face. This
movement is interuppted by the sounds of the tall grasses
moving and the SNAP of a branch breaking. Calico is
frantically looking about trying to see in the darkness what
he hears that is approaching. Slowly out of the darkness he
can begin to see large white fangs coming out of the tall
grass. The fangs belong to a large wild dog which as it
creaps in the darkness closer, GROWLS and Claico is now able
to see it's fangs better despite the darkness around them.
                                                            
                       CALICO (to himself nervous)
Not good.
                                                            
With fangs still showing and GROWLS still breaking the
silence of the night, something makes the hound stop in its
tracks. A subtle sound is heard in the distance, the dog
perks its ears, turns and then runs off. in the blackness.
Although he is relieved Claico hears something approaching
from his side.

As Calico slowly turns to see what is now right beside him,
he turns into flared nostrils that PUFF at him. Both Maximo
and Octavio take turns PUFFING the fog in the air close to
Calioc. Calico has a look of disappointment as being the
target of the firing squad reenters his thoughts. The
leather saddle SOUNDS as the rider dismounts. Calico strains
to look at the rider.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Calico are you alright?
                                                            

80.

Cassieo approaches Calico, she holds his dagger out and
swiftly cuts the ropes that are holding his hands to the
post.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Am I glad to see you.
                                                            
Cassieo has freed his hands and is cutting the ropes around
his feet.
                                                            
                       CALICO
How did you find me?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
The blacksmith came to the ship
and told us the Spanish calvery
took you to the fort.
                                                            
Calico motions to the horses.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Where did you get these horses.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I stole them from town.
                                                            
                       CALICO
That's Major Santos's horse.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Who's Major Santos?
                                                            
                       CALICO
A Major who wants to put my head
in a sack.
                                                            
Cassieo stands, Calico's free from the post. Cassieo hands
Calico Maximo's reins.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
We have to be quiet. Cavalrymen
are on orders riding up and down
the roads in search of you.
                                                            
                       CALICO
We are not out of the woods yet.
                                                            
Cassieo smiles at Criss.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
You say the cutest things.
                                                            

81.

                       CALICO
Did you see a big beast flying
around here hissing and flapping
its wings?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
No... let's just get outta here.
                                                            
Calico is near Maximo's head.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Maximo good to see you to.
                                                            
They mount up and start riding off into the darkness of the
jungle.
                                                            
 
EXT. DIRT ROAD TO TOWN - NIGHT
                                                            
Major Santos and Captain Domingo are walking down the dark
dusty road back to the fort.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS (angry)
When I find the theif who stole my
horses, I'll have them shot.
                                                            
Just then around the bend in the road, out of the darkness
galloping at full speed, Calico on Maximo, Cassieo on
Octavio. Major Santos can't believe his eyes as they are
headed right at him. Captain Domingo moves out of the way of
the galloping hooves but Major Santos stands firmly in the
middle of the road waving his arms for them to stop, he
yells.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
Stop!
                                                            
Calico and Cassieo gallop past him on either side, knocking
him to the ground in a cloud of dust. The Major no sooner
gets to his feet when his cavalrymen on horseback round the
bend headed directly for him as well. He raises his arms
and yells at them.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
Stop!
                                                            
The cavalrymen pull back on their reins stopping just before
trampling Major Santos to the ground. Major Santos grabs the
reins of a horse and orders the solider off so that he can
mount and continue the chase himself.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
Give me this horse!
                                                            

82.

The cavalry man dismounts and Major Santo mounts his horse.
Captain Domingo mounts a horse.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
No shooting, my orders. Don't
shoot my horses by mistake! Pull
out your sabers.
                                                            
Soldiers put their pistols away. Santos and his men pull out
their sabers.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN DOMINGO
They can't get too far, it will
take some time for their ship to
make sail.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
That ship has cannon on it, lets
go!
                                                            
The Major and his men ride after Calico.
                                                            
 
EXT. SIDE DIRT ROAD TO TOWN - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico and Cassieo are stopped on the road.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I'm sorry, this isn't right, we
must have taken the wrong fork in
the road, we have to go back and
go west.
                                                            
They turn their horses around and gallop away into the dark.
                                                            
 
EXT. DIRT ROAD TO TOWN - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Major Santos and his cavalry are approaching the fork in the
road when he spots Calico and Cassieo getting back on the
main road.
                                                            
                       MAJOR SANTOS
There they are!
                                                            
Major Santos points his sword like it's a cavalry charge,
the persuit of Calico and Cassieo begins again.
                                                            
 
EXT. DIRT ROAD TO TOWN - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico and Cassieo riding the horses hard, approach a wooded
bridge spanning a deep gully. The horse's hooves make a loud

83.

CLOPPING sound as they hit the wood planks. As soon as they
are across the bridge, Cassieo pulls back hard on the reins
stopping Octavio instantly.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER (screams)
Stop!
                                                            
Calico pulls back Maximo's reins as well then turns him, he
looks back to see the Major and his cavalry fast approaching
the bridge. Then BOOM a large explosion, the bridge flies
apart into a million pieces. The impact knocks Major Santos
and Captain Domingo off their horses. Then another explosion
BOOM! The lit gun power lights the night sky, pieces of
bridge fly everywhere, a large plume of smoke rises from
where the bridge once was.
                                                            
Calico strains his eyes trying to cut through the smoke to
see what remains after the blast. He slowly sees a greyish
shadow emerging. Carrying a lit torch Pirate Tar becomes
clearer and clearer. The torch drops out of Tar's had as he
falls to the ground. Cassieo is quick to be by his side and
lift him to the horse. Stunned but exhausted, With
assistance, Pirate Tar mounts the back of Octavio behind
Cassieo. Holding on as much as he could, they ride up next
to Calico. Pirate Tar's face is covered in black power soot,
he his leaning on Cassieo's back arms wrapped around her
waist.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Aye, Captain how did you like that
for a rescue?
                                                            
                       CALICO
Tar, how would you like to be my
new first mate.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Hey I thought I was your
firstmate?
                                                            
Calico responds to her with a wink and a smile. Cassieo
smiles in return as she kicks Octavio. Heading towards the
ship the horses ride off a little more relaxed now that they
are not being persued. The cavalry men across the gully now
able to see from the lifted smoke, try shooting, but Major
Santos is pushing their guns down yelling and hitting them
with his hat.
                                                            
 
EXT. CARIBBEAN SEA - NIGHT
                                                            
The "Empress" has just captured a merchant ship. The two
ships are tethered together as more pirates from the

84.

"Empress" board the ship. Crewmen on the merchant ship have
their hands up surrendering to the pirates as they aim their
pistols and swords.
                                                            
 
EXT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - EVENING
                                                            
On deck near the mast, Von Kaiser is giddy at all that has
transpired, he's sporting a new fancy captain's hat and is
approaching two of his crewmen who are holding a prisoner
British CAPTAIN EGGEND. He stands in full dress uniform with
hands tied and escorted by the crewmen. Von is admiring
Eggend's new leather boots.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
I must have a pair of those boots
for myself.
                                                            
Von eyes Eggend, then brushes some dust from Captain
Eggend's shoulder.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Captain Eggend my men tell me you
have hung over a hundred pirates.
Is that true Sir?
                                                            
Captain Eggend not answering, looks straight ahead.
                                                            
PIRATE GINNESS interrupts, carrying over a small treasure
chest. He places the treasure chest in front of Von and
opens its. It is filled with silver coins.
                                                            
                       GINNESS
Sir. Your treasure.
                                                            
Von examines it quickly, then around at his crewmen.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (pompous)
This is not my treasure.
                                                            
Pirate Ginness and the crewmen all looking a little confused
at what Von just said. Von takes a rope that has a hangman's
noose on one end and throws it up over the mast pole, the
noose falls near Captain Eggend's head. Pirate Ginness is
kneeling near the treasure chest.
                                                            
                       GINNESS
Sir. This is your loot. This is
what we found.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
No it's not. That is not mine!
                                                            

85.

Von takes the noose and fashioned it around Captain Eggend's
neck. More of Von's crew gather now to see what is happening
on deck. Von tightens and adjusts the noose, as if
straightening the captains tie.
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN EGGEND
My good man. You can't hang me.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
And why is that Sir. Why can't I
hang you?
                                                            
                       CAPTAIN EGGEND
Because if you do every man in her
majesties navy will be on the hunt
for you. They will hunt you down,
capture you and kill you.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
I'll be worried about that.
                                                            
Von grasps the rope bare handed, hand over hand, quickly
pulling down on the rope, hanging Captain Eggend in an
instant. Von takes the end of the rope and ties it off on
the side rail. Eggend's legs are twitching for a brief
moment, then fall still, he's dead. Von moves back over near
Eggend who's boots are now level with Von's shoulders. Von
looks down at Pirate Ginness.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
That treasure you asked about.
That treasure is my crews. Divide
it equally amongst my men.
                                                            
The crew lets out cheers in Von's name. Von takes hold of
one of Eggend's boots yanks it off his foot, drops it and
then yanks off the other. With excitement and victory, Von
holds up the boots.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
This is my treasure!
                                                            
The crew continue to cheer for him as he leaves the deck.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - NIGHT
                                                            
A few torches light the deck as Cassieo is set up ready to
play her cello, pirate Tar approaches her.
                                                            

86.

                       TAR JONES
Miss Cassieo, I was just
wondering, would you enjoy hearing
a scary pirate story?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Oh yes, please do. I love spooky
stories.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Alright miss, but do you promise
not to be mad at me if it scares
you?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I hope it does
                                                            
The crew gathers to listen to Tar's story.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES (spooky)
I ran into a old ship mate of
mine, pirate Thomas Brown. He was
an aweful, terrible looking man.
Only one good leg held him
upright. The other a wooden peg
that creaked as he walked. He
wore a patch on his face to cover
the hole that used to hold his
eye. Hands, he only had one. The
other was fashioned hook of metal.
                                                            
Pirate Tar takes his right index finger and bends it trying
to recreate a hook like hand in order to show and scare
Cassieo.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
When we meet, I was cordial and
began to talk to him. He told me
of how a Britich cannonball shot
his leg clean off. He had a good
enough crew to help him walk again
with the peg.
                                                            
Tar opens his eyes wide, giving Cassieo a spooky look.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
As the conversation continues I
ask about his eye. I asked if a
pistol ball shot his eye out. As
he tell me the story I listen
closely. He says it was a day out
at sea, he was looking up at the
sea gulls passing by. As he
looked up and the birds passed,
            (MORE)

87.

                       TAR JONES (cont'd)
one of them crapped into his eye.
I wondered if it was from the
infection that he lost his eye. As
the story continued, he told me no
that it was not an infection but
it was the first day with his new
hook.
                                                            
Tar hooks his right index finger again and places it close
to his eye and shows it to everyone, trying to be spooky.
                                                            
Tar lets out a loud bellowing laugh as he rubs his eye with
his hooked finger. All the pirates join in and laugh.
Cassieo laughing and rubbing her eye with her finger hooked
as well.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
That was a good story Tar. A
little scary for me, but still a
good story.
                                                            
The "Pegasus" sails as if a little lighter with the laughter
into the darkness with Cassieo playing the cello, Bach's
Suite # 1 in G major.
                                                            
 
EXT. BAT ISLAND COVE - EVENING
                                                            
The "Pegasus" is anchored in the cove. Calico has a lit
torch and is sitting in the rowboat facing Cassieo, Tar and
Peter are rowing. Three other row boats are following them
as they approach a long enterance to a cave. They
rythmically row into its mouth.
                                                            
 
EXT. CAVE TUNNEL - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
As the cave mouth opens, huge stalactites hang from the cave
ceiling, a spooky feeling is in the air and the sound of
dripping water echos around them. Getting bigger as they
approach, built into the stone, is a gothic style castle. In
front of the two large doors with torches on either side,
there is a dock welcoming them.
                                                            
Stepping out of the boats, all are admiring the castle and
all its beauty.
                                                            
Pirate SAMUEL with his torch lights the torches on either
side of the doors. PIRATE HENDERSON approaches and tries to
take the torch from its holder. It is not coming lose. He
tries again to dislodge it from its holder. He finally
gives it a yank down. As he does this everyone hears the

88.

sound of chains CLANKING and metal gears turning coming from
inside the wall. Calico looks up and sees a huge stone block
on the far wall of the cave. It begins swinging like a
pendulum attached to the cave ceiling by a chain heading
quickly towards Pirate Henderson.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Look out!
                                                            
Pirate Henderson unable to get out of the way, is taken by
force by the huge boulder as it then crashing Pirate
Henderson with all its weight into the castle wall with a
loud CRASH. The force shakes the cave and the castle Pirate
Henderson is gone, smashed behind the stone. Everyone
freezes for a moment as large stalactites fall from the cave
ceiling into the water below, one crashes through a rowboat.
Then everything is still.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Booby traps be careful.
                                                            
Calico approaches the door, there is a large Gothic door
knocker attached to it, he knocks on the door, it makes a
loud HOLLOW ECHOING sound.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Ahoy! Anyone home?
                                                            
Silence. Calico takes hold of the door handle. The door
won't open.

Calico and crew are standing up near the wall as Pirate Tar
lights a power trail. The power SIZZLES as it makes its way
to a power keg in front of the door. BOOM! A loud explosion
as the castle door flies apart. As the smoke clears,
everyone peers into the Gothic furnished large great room.
                                                            
 
INT. GOTHIC CASTLE - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico, Cassieo, Peter, and Tar are slowly walking near the
wall. The floor is marble square pattern and the room is
decorated in old style Gothic furnishings. Paintings line
the walls, and beautiful vases are higher up on stone
shelves build into the wall. There is a strange eerie
feeling amongst them.

PIRATE FINTCH has a lit torch and is walking down the center
of the room. When he takes his next step, the sharp sound of
a marble floor square SNAPS, then the sound of chains
CLANKING and metal gears spinning.
                                                            

89.

Everyone freezes looking around, then WHOOSH, a six foot by
six-foot section of the floor that Fintch is standing on
drops. In a second Fintch and the section of floor are gone.
Fintch screams as he's falling into the black abyss.
Everyone again frozen for a moment starring at the black
hole in the center of the room.

Calico slowly approaches the hole, everyone follows.
They looks down the hole, nothing but darkness, no Fintch,
no torch, nothing. Calico takes Pirate Tar's torch and drops
it into the hole. They watch as it just disappears into the
darkness.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Von didn't warn me of this.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES (worried)
What is this place?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
My grandfather's castle.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Should have told grandpa we were
coming.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
We're robbing the place.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Your robbing your grandfather?
                                                            
Ahead of them on the far wall there are two stairways. On
the right going down and on the left side a stairway going
up. They approach the stairway going down. Reminder of the
abyss, the stairway leads to darkness.

PIRATE DAVID throws his torch down the stairwell it lands at
the bottom and lights the area. There is a stone shelf with
a beautiful treasure chest sitting on it.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES (excited)
A treasure chest!
                                                            
                       PHILLIP BLACKSON
We'll get this one.
                                                            
Pirates Phillip, David and PIRATE NANKER carefully make
their way down the steps to the chest. Pirate David opens
the treasure chest lid. It's filled with gold and silver
coins, jewels and jewelry. Pirates Phillip and Nanker each
grab a handle on the sides of the treasure chest and lift it
up about a inch, then a loud SNAP, quickly followed by the

90.

sound of chains CLANKING and metal gears spinning.

They set the chest back down, it's too late, the sound of a
heavy iron gate CREAKING down the stairwell. It comes out of
the wall "midway" moving to the other side wall crossing the
stairway, trapping the pirates below. The pirates have fear
in their eyes. In a panic, they hurry to the gate tugging
with all their might to remove the blockade.
                                                            
                       PHILLIP BLACKSON (fearful)
Get us out of here!
                                                            
Calico and his men go down the steps to help. A stone on the
side wall, below the gate, starts leaking water. This
catches everyone's attention.
Then more water and more water starts to gush through the
opening, before the pirates can react, the stone is pushed
out of the wall by gallons and gallons of water shooting
out.

Water is rising faster and faster. Calico and his men
helpless watching as now only the pirates faces and hands
are up to the gate and the water is quickly covering them.
Then in an instant the only movement they are witnessing is
the rushing water.
                                                            
The water now up to Calico's knees as he Peter and Tar give
up and start walking back up the stairs. The water has seem
to reach its filling capacity and is starting to rest.
Cassieo gives Calico a hug when he reaches the main room.
                                                            
 
INT. GOTHIC CASTLE - LATER - EVENING
                                                            
Calico is watching across the room as PIRATE JAKE slowly
approaches a silver candelabra on a stone shelf. Above it
extending out are stone shelves with large marble decorative
vases on them.
Below on the wall next to the floor are decorative stone
wheels about a foot high. As he lifts the candelabra
gently, SNAP, then the CLANKING chains behind the wall.
Calico looks up at the large marble vase on a shelf above
Pirate Jake. The vase starts to tilt and spills oil over
Jake. Jake is drenched in oil.
                                                            
                       JAKE (not sure what is going on)
It smells sweet.
                                                            
The stone wheels quickly starting to spin, faster and faster
making a louder and louder noise small sparks at first fly
off then larger ones. Jake is standing there looking at the
sparks bewildered. It only takes seconds when sparks start
to fly off the wheels lighting the oil on him on fire. In an

91.

instant, Jake is ablaze, screaming, running wildly around
the room. He runs into the hole in the center of the room.
His screams echo in the dark hole as he falls into the
abyss. Then silence.
                                                            
 
INT. GOTHIC CASTLE - LATER
                                                            
Calico, Tar, Peter and Cassieo now standing at the bottom of
the stairwell that goes up. Calico takes a torch and throws
it up the stairwell, it lights the area and they can see it
turns to the right at the top.

Calico starts to walk up the stairs when everyone hears the
sound of many FLAPPING wings. Flying down the stairwell
hundreds of bats, everyone ducks. The bats SQUEAKING as they
fly over and pass them into the great room then out the open
front door. Everyone except Cassieo is spooked.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES (addressing Peter)
Her grandpa keeps bats as pets.
                                                            
They pull themselves together, and walk up the steps. At the
right turn there is a locked door. Calico pulls on the
handle to no avail.

A power keg is setting in front of the locked door. A power
trial goes down the stairs where Calico and crew are against
the sidewall. Calico has a lit torch and looks at Tar who is
next to him.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I'll show you how this is done.
                                                            
Calico lights the power trail, the power SIZZLES as it makes
its way up the steps. Then at the top step it looks like it
goes out. Everyone is looking at each other. Calico peeks
around the corner, looks up the stairwell then steps out
into it.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Must have when out.
                                                            
Calico takes one-step them BOOM! A loud explosion as the
power keg blows up, the power flash coming down the
stairwell. The impact knocks Calico off his feet sending him
backwards into the thick smoke, we lose site of him. Lots of
smoke.
                                                            
 

92.

INT. BERLIN GERMANY MUSIC HALL "A DREAMLIKE STATE" - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
The smoke is clearing as music is heard, the orchestra is
playing Ludwing Van Beethoven's symphony no. 3 in E flat.
A well-dressed audience packs the house listening to the
music. The orchestra looks great. Cassieo is playing her
cello. Purell, Von, and Rushka are playing violins. Governor
Bonny is playing the clarinet. Anne, Zak are playing flutes.
Pirates Peter and Tar, now dressed like fine gentlemen
playing horns.
                                                            
The conductor is waving his baton leading the orchestra. The
audience starts to applaud, then starts chanting Calico,
Calico, Calico. As the conductor turns, we see it is none
other than Calico Criss. He smiles and takes a bow.
                                                            
 
INT. GOTHIC CASTLE - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico's face is covered in black soot. His clothes still
smoking. Muffled voices calling to him to wake up. He
realizes that was just a dream as he opens his eyes and
tries to shake off the daze.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Calico, dear are you alright?
                                                            
Calico looks up at Cassieo, Tar, and Peter kneeling over
him.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Calico are you hurt?
                                                            
Calico still looking around dazed and confused.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I just had the strangest dream.
                                                            
He looks at Cassieo and points to her.
                                                            
                       CALICO
And you were in it.
                                                            
Cassieo smiles at him. Calico looks at Peter and Tar.
Pointing at them.
                                                            
                       CALICO
And you were in it. And so were
you.
                                                            
Tar starts to laugh at him.
                                                            

93.

                       TAR JONES
Captain that power blast almost
took your head off.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
It scrambled your brains Sir.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Next time, let a man take care of
the power kegs. Sir.
                                                            
They help Calico to his feet. His clothes still smoking.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Calico, dear, you'll think your
dreaming when we show you the
treasure.
                                                            
 
INT. GOTHIC CASTLE LIBRARY - LATER
                                                            
Calico, Tar, Peter and Cassieo walk into the Grand library
their eyes open wide as they see the rooms filled with all
kinds of treasures. There are treasure chests about the
room, gold and silver coins stacked on the desk, it feels
like a pirate's heaven in there.


Other crewmen are carrying out the loot. PIRATE BOXMAN is
holding a small treasure box that has a lock on it. In his
other hand he has a small pry bar and is trying to break
open the lock.

PIRATE TRIVER slowing walking near the sidewall where there
is a beautiful chair up against the wall. Calico is watching
Triver as he sits in the chair. Instantly, as Triver sits in
the chair, the wall and floor spin, taking him into a secret
room. Calico watching still, now sees the same type of wall
with an empty chair appear.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Tar! Peter! Did you see Triver
disappear behind that wall?
                                                            
Calico, Tar, and Peter are examining the wall seams that
Triver disappeared behind. Tar has a silver candle stick and
pounds on the trick wall.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Triver! Can you hear us?
                                                            
Tar puts his ear up to the wall but hears nothing.
                                                            

94.

                       CALICO
That wall is a foot thick, solid
stone.
                                                            
Calico runs his hand down the seam in the wall.
                                                            
                       CALICO
We can't leave him in there.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Captain I can put four power kegs
next to the wall and we'll blow it
up.
                                                            
Calico shakes his head no.
                                                            
                       CALICO
And how many pieces will Triver be
in?
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
And I suppose you have a better
idea?
                                                            
                       CALICO
As a matter of fact I do.
                                                            
 
INT. GOTHIC CASTLE LIBRARY - LATER
                                                            
Peter is up on a ladder, chiseling a groove across the upper
right corner of the wall panel Triver is stuck behind.

Calico is on the other far side of the room aiming a cannon
at the area Peter is working on. Heavy ropes anchor the
cannon in place. Pirate Boxman hands Calico a half sack
power pouch. Calico loads the sack into the cannon's barrel.
He takes a ramrod and sets the power sack.
                                                            
                       CALICO (addressing pirate Tar)
Tar are you paying close attention
to this? Half sack of power,
eightpound ball.
                                                            
Tar rolls his eyes. Pirate Boxman hands Calico the cannon
ball. Calico lowers it into the cannon.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
If this works I'll never question
you again....sir.
                                                            
Calico grins at him.
                                                            

95.

                       CALICO
I've fired a few cannon in my day.
                                                            
Calico takes one last look at his aim sight of the cannon at
the corner of the wall.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Time for everyone to clear the
room.
                                                            
Everyone has left the room except for Calico. He has a lit
cannon fuse on a stick, looks at the wall then lights the
cannon fuse. BOOM! The cannon fires.
                                                            
 
INT. GOTHIC CASTLE LIBRARY - LATER
                                                            
Pirates are pulling out Triver from the ruble of the wall.
Triver brushes himself off as he approaches Tar.
                                                            
                       TRIVER
Tar, I knew you would blast me out
of there, thanks.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Don't thank me, thank our cannon
expert, Captain Calico.
                                                            
Calico grins and tips his hat to Triver.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Triver you are forever in debt to
me. It took ten men three hours to
get that cannon up here.
                                                            
Cassieo is on the far end of the room looking at large
object covered with a black cloth. She pulls down on the
cloth to reveal a beautiful Egyptian casket standing upright
against the wall covered in hieroglyphics. Next to the
casket on each side are large four foot tall Egyptian vases
covered too with hieroglyphics. She eyes up the casket then
calls to the men.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Come look at this!
                                                            
Calico, Tar, Peter, PIRATE WILLIAM, and about ten other
pirates are looking over the Egyptian casket.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
That's a casket.
                                                            

96.

                       TAR JONES
You mean to say their's a dead
body in that?
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
Aye.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Well, were not grave robbers, I
say we leave it be.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
No, I say what is in it is mine. I
get no share of the loot like the
rest of you do.
                                                            
                       CALICO
That's not true Cassieo, you get a
full share just like all of us.
You earned it.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Theres probably an Egyptian mummy
in it. They bury their dead with
amulets and Egyptian jewels.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH (nervous)
I say we leave the dead alone.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
What's a mummy?
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
They would wrap you in cloth
bandages and bury you alive in one
of these.
                                                            
Pirate Tar's eyes open wide.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Tar don't let him scare you. In
Egypt thousands of years ago, this
was how they preserved dead
bodies. It's called mummification.
It was their way of becoming
immortal.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH (spooky)
Just like she said, immortal.
Whoever is in that box is going to
jump out when we open it.
                                                            
Pirate Tar's eyes open wide.
                                                            

97.

                       CASSIEO KAISER
Peter, he has been dead for
thousands of years. And besides
that they remove their organs.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Miss. Cassieo what of the strange
marking on it?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Those are called hieroglyphics.
Egyptian's writings.
                                                            
Peter points out to Tar the eye of Horus on the casket.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH (spooky)
Tar see that eye looking right at
you. That's the evil eye. It sees
you....the evil eye.
                                                            
Pirate Tar looks frighted looking at the eye of Horus.
                                                            
                       WILLIAM FANCY
I say we don't open it, we have
enough loot, let's just go.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Captain Calico now what do you
think of your brave strong crew of
pirates?
                                                            
Calico looks around at his crew.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I agree with the men we really
don't need a mummy on board ship.
I say we leave well enough alone.
                                                            
Cassieo reaches for Peter's chisel.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Give me that.
                                                            
She takes the chisel.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I'll open it myself.
                                                            
 
INT. GOTHIC CASTLE LIBRARY - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
With the chisel Cassieo knocks off the last latch on the
Egyptian casket. She stands near it ready to open it.

98.

Calico and the pirates are all watching her. Peter takes out
his pistol, aims it at the casket and cocks it.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
Just in case it jumps out.
                                                            
All the other pirates including Calico take out their
pistols. They cock them and aim them at the casket.
Cassieo slowly opens the casket revealing a large wrapped,
dusty, old mummy standing upright, arms crossed across his
chest.
The mummy has around his neck, a large gold chain with a
beautiful, solid gold ankh hanging from it. Cassieo looks
back at the men and smiles.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER (joyfully)
This is mine.
                                                            
Cassieo reaches into the casket and gently removes the gold
chain and ankh off the mummy. She brushes the dust off it.
Turning to the men, she then puts it around her neck holding
the sold gold ankh. The men are awe struck at the golden
beauty. The pirates lower their pistols. Cassieo holds it up
to her face and smiles.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Solid gold men, solid gold.
                                                            
The mummy's eyes suddenly open. Then his arms start to reach
out. The pirates raise their pistols. Cassieo is startled.
She then turns to see the mummy take a step out of the
casket, arms out reaching for her. She gives a short scream
then ducks moving towards the men. Pirates start shooting.
The mummy takes ten pistol balls hits. They just rip through
him.

The impacts sends dust flying off him. The now holy mummy
groans but keeps moving forward. Cassieo stumbles and falls
to the floor. She is trying to crawl away from it. Calico
takes careful aim and fires his pistol hitting the mummy in
the head. The shot goes right through the mummy's head with
a puff of dust. Having little affect on it.

It groans again even louder, then pauses to look at Calico,
then turns continuing after Cassieo. Pirate Tar runs his
sword into the mummies belly, the mummy hits Tar with his
arm, knocking him down. The sword still stuck in the mummies
gut.

Pirate Peter screams, dagger in hand and rushes the mummy.
Peter stabs his dagger into the mummies chest. The mummy
grabs Peter, lifts him off his feet and tosses him like a
rag doll. Cassieo on the floor looks up to see the mummy

standing over her groaning and ready to pounce on her. His
arms out stretched, she holds up the gold ankh to it.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER (screams)
You can have this back!
                                                            
Calico raises his sword and with a quick slash, the sword
blade cuts off the mummies arm. The mummy groans in
frustration then looks at him.
                                                            
                       CALICO
That had to hurt.
                                                            
The mummy starts towards Calico, groaning and with his other
arm reaching for him. Calico swings his sword cutting off
the mummies head. The mummies head falls onto Cassieo's lap.
The headless mummies body falls to the flood with a THUD and
a puff of dust.

Cassieo sees the head in her lap, screams, grabs it, and
then throws the mummy head up into the air. Peter catches
the head and stares at its face. The mummy's eyes are
blinking at him.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH (scared)
I don't want this.
                                                            
Peter tosses the head to Tar who catches it, he looks at it
with a shocked expression, then flips it to Calico. He
catches the head. The mummy's eyes blink at him as well.
Calico, not wanting the head either. Tosses it up into a
large vase. A perfect shot. Calico extends his arm to help
Cassieo up.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER (lovingly)
Calico you saved my life.
                                                            
                       CALICO
All in a days work love. Now how
about we leave this place.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
The deck is full of treasures and proud pirates checking out
their loot. Pirate Boxman is stacking gold bars. Pirate Milo
is pouring molten silver into a pistol ball mold, from a
brick kiln they have setup on deck. Pirate Ringer is sitting
near a large wooden crate of pistols. He is loading a
pistol. Ringer then looks at the silver ball shot he is
about to drop in to the barrel.
                                                            

100.

                       RINGER
Never thought I would see the day
when I would be loading pure
silver shot.
                                                            
Ringer sets the ball shot with a ramrod then sets the pistol
in another wooden crate with loaded pistols and muskets.
Calico and Cassieo stand near the ships wheel as Cassieo
rings a bell to get everyone's attention.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Listen up men!
                                                            
The crew gathers to listen.
                                                            
                       CALICO
We are heading into Port
Faircloth, on the way, we'll split
the loot in equal shares.
                                                            
The crewmen cheer!
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Men, my advice is when we get
there, take half your loot and
hide it somewhere on the island.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Good advice. We'll each have
enough gold to last us each five
lifetimes.
                                                            
The crew cheers!
                                                            
                       CALICO
Let's make way!
                                                            
The crewmen disperse to make ready the ship. Crewmen start
up the riggings. The anchor is coming up as the "Pegasus"
makes way and as always, the "Rumrunner" in tow.
                                                            
 
EXT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - NIGHT
                                                            
The "Empress" is cutting through the Caribbean Sea. On deck
PIRATE DASH lowers his spyglass. He approaches the captain's
door and knocks on it. The door opens and Von steps out.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
What is it Dash?
                                                            

101.

                       DASH FULTON
Sir off the bow. Port side a ship
approaching.
                                                            
Dash hands Von his spyglass and points to the direction of
the ship. Through the spyglass Von sees the ship approaching
heading East.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
On deck Calico and Tar are looking Through their spyglasses
at the "Empress" heading West.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Do you know that ship?
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Aye Sir. That's the "Empress" she
be pirate. Captained by Captain
Crow.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Pirate you say?
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Yes Sir. Pirates.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Hoist our colors. Open the cannon
flaps and Tar cover our nameplate.
                                                            
 
EXT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Von and his crewmen are watching the "Pegasus" get closer.
Von looks through his spyglass and sees the Jolly Roger flag
going up, then the cannon flaps opening as cannon start
popping out of them.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (angry)
Raise our skull and crossbones!
Ready the men and cannons!
                                                            
Pirates start to hurry to their battle stations.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
I don't want a fight tonight, not
tonight.
                                                            
                       DASH FULTON
Sir, we have them out gunned two
to one.
                                                            

102.

                       VON KAISER
Not tonight, they could get in a
lucky shot or two. We have to get
to our destination. My grandfather
doesn't have much time.
                                                            
Dash looking Through his spyglass sees Calico looking back
at them.
                                                            
                       DASH FULTON
Sir. I know that Captain. That's
Captain Calico Criss.
                                                            
Von looks at Calico through his spyglass then lowers it.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Your lucky night Captain Calico
Criss, your lucky night.
                                                            
The ships pass each other, the crews on each ship watching
each other. Von looks through his spyglass to read the name
plate. He sees it's covered with a black cloth flapping in
the breeze.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
They covered her name. I don't
like the looks of that.
                                                            
                       DASH FULTON
At no time pirate Calico captained
a major ship.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Do you think they would have
treasure on her?
                                                            
                       DASH FULTON
The way she sits in the water. I
would bet my live on it.
                                                            
Von yells to crewmen on deck.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Pull up the cage!
                                                            
Pirates open grating on the center deck. As others are
pulling up ropes that bring up a large iron cage. It is
filled with thirty, one-foot tall, three-foot wingspan,
black, and ugly little evil bats from hell. Von approaches
the cage as the little demon bats are SQUEAKING, flapping
their wings, showing their fanged teeth and devil red eyes.
Von makes squeaking sounds as if to be talking to the bats
this sends them into frenzy.

103.


Von points in the direction of the "Pegasus" and opens the
cage door. The little demon bats take off flying into the
night sky. Von laughs.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
This will slow them down.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico and crew are breathing a sigh of relief. When they
hear the SQUEAKING of Von's hell bat's approaching.
They look up and see the bats flying above them and around
the ship. A few of the bats kamikaze into the high sails and
with their sharp claw talons they start ripping the sails.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES (very concerned)
What are those things?
                                                            
                       CALICO (forceful)
I don't know, shoot them!
                                                            
Calico takes out his pistol. He takes aim at one in the
sails and shoots. The bat is hit and falling, SQUEAKING,
flapping its wings on the way down. It falls on the deck
near him. He looks at its ugly face.
                                                            
                       CALICO (concerned)
Not good.
                                                            
More creatures start to dive bomb the ship. They attack many
crewmen. The crewmen are desperately fighting them off.
Shooting at them and hitting them with anything within
reach. The pirates are frightened as the creatures claw and
bite them. More bats dive-bomb down. Cassieo steps out of
the captain's cabin, she looks around and sees the bats
attacking the crew. Just then a bat dive bombs her and grabs
the top of her hair.

Cassieo reaches up and yanks the bat out of her hair. The
bat is angry and showing his fangs and SQUEAKING at her. She
takes hold of his head and snaps its neck. It makes one last
SQUEAL. Cassieo takes it by the neck and slams it onto the
deck. Doctor Treesap is watching the bats with great
excitement and then he runs below deck. Cassieo tries to get
everyone's attention.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Calico! Tar! Just kill them! Use
your hands snap their necks!
                                                            

104.

Peter is near Calico when a bat attacks him. It bites
Peter's finger and is latched onto it.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH (screams in pain)
Captain!
                                                            
Peter holds his arm out with the bat attached to his finger
showing Calico. Calico takes out his sword and with one
quick stroke cuts the bat in half. Pirate Tar grabs the bats
head and opens its jaws, freeing Peter's finger. More bats
are dive bombing as the crew continue to try to fight them
off.
                                                            
 
INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Below deck Treesap is digging through gear looking for
something.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP (talking to himself)
A new species of bat. I have to
catch one alive, I'll be famous.
                                                            
Then he spots it, a fishing net on the end of a pole.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP
This will do.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
On deck most of the bats are dead. Pirate Tar picks one up
and throws it over board.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Don't throw them over board! Stack
them over here.
                                                            
She has a pile of dead bats near her. There are still three
bats flying and dive-bombing around the ship. Calico takes
careful aim at one, he fires a perfect hit. The bat SQUEAKS
as it tumbles from the sky onto the deck. Peter walks up to
it, picks it up and shows it to Cassieo.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH (confused)
You want this?
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Yes, put it here on the pile. I'm
going to make us bat soup tonight.
                                                            
Peter and Calico look at each other. Calico turns his head
mouthing to himself, "bat soup"? A bat lands on Peter's back

105.

digging his claws in deep. Tar takes his leather choker puts
it around the bat's neck, pulls it snapping the bats neck.

Doctor Treesap is up on deck chasing after the last bat with
his fishing net, scrambling from one side of the deck to the
other. Pirate Catskin hands Calico a loaded pistol. Treesap
is watching up in the riggings as the bat is flying around.

Calico, Catskin, Peter and Tar are all close together, their
pistols aimed up at the bat flying around. Treesap looking
up walking across the deck near the sail. The bat dive bombs
down, Criss and men take aim, their eyes following it down.
They are ready to shoot when the sail blocks their view, all
four pistols fire. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
                                                            
Watching as the smoke clears, the sail swings back. They see
Doctor Treesap, who has been shot four times in the chest.
Treesap looks at his chest. He drops to his knees then falls
face first onto the deck.
                                                            
 
INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Inside the captain's quarters Doctor Treesap is laid out on
the table, being tended to by Calico, Cassieo, Tar, and
Peter. Calico looks down at the Doctor, he is weak and his
face covered in sweat.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP (nervous)
I can do this.
                                                            
Calico reaches into Doctor Treesap's doctors bag and pulls
out a large knife.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP (shaking voice)
Not that one, the small one.
                                                            
Calico takes out the smaller knife.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP (nervous)
Cut my shirt open.
                                                            
Calico looking down at him, cuts the shirt open, when he
sees the wounds his face tightens.
                                                            
                       CALICO
You sure you want to do this?
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP
I've heard about a famous sea
fairing physician, who did this.
He operated on himself and lived.
                                                            

106.

                       CASSIEO KAISER
Doctor, I'll do it.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP
With all do respect Miss Cassieo,
I must ask you to leave.
                                                            
Cassieo starts to leave the room.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP (shaking voice)
Who ever heard of a female
physician?
                                                            
Calico just shrugs his shoulders.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP
Captain, I need you to hold the
mirror steady for me, like I
showed you.
                                                            
Calico takes the mirror and places it on Treesap's belly
line. Treesap's hand is shaking holding the knife, as he
lifts his head up to look into the mirror.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR TREESAP (nervous)
Down a little.
                                                            
Calcio lowers the mirror, Treesap sees his four bullet
wounds clearly now in the mirror, his head drops back like a
rock and all hear a loud THUMP as it hits the table. He is
dead.
                                                            
 
INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - LATER
                                                            
In the captain's quarters everyone is about ready to eat.
Sitting at the table Pirate Tar has a large, steaming bowl
of black bat soup in front of him. Part of a wilted cooked
bat wing is hanging out of the bowl. Cassieo too has a bowl
of steaming soup in front of her as she is instructing
Calico and the crew.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Now, don't eat the wings.
                                                            
She holds up a wilted cooked bat wing.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
These are for flavor.
                                                            
She holds up a bat claw.
                                                            

107.

                       CASSIEO KAISER
Don't eat the claws, bones or the
bat fangs, set them aside.
                                                            
Calico is holding a blackened bat leg. It looks like a fried
blackened turkey leg, with a bat claw on the end still
attached. He looks at it and then takes a large bite out of
it he chews away at it.
                                                            
                       CALICO (mouth full)
Tastes like chicken.
                                                            
Pirate Tar takes his wooden spoon, then takes a spoonfull of
black bat broth, and lets it pour back into the bowl. He
refills his spoon, making a loud SIPPING sound as he sips
the soup broth down.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Miss Cassieo this is good soup.
                                                            
All the pirates are eating their blackened bat meat and soup
as Cassieo gets up to leave the captain's quarters.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Calico, that was a very nice
service you had for Doctor
Treesap.
                                                            
Calico looks up at her, eating like a Viking, and nods his
head.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I'll play a farewell song for
Doctor Treesap.
                                                            
Cassieo exits the captain's quarters. Calico and the crew
are eating and drinking.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Cassieo on deck is playing Bach's Suite NO. 4 in E flat on
her cello. Her face becomes somber as she starts thinking of
the good old days.
                                                            
 
INT. GOOD OLD DAYS "FLASH BACK" - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Cassieo can see herself in Germany at the music hall playing
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Divertimento for violin, viola,
and cello in E flat major. Von, Purell and Rushka accompany
her. It's very beautiful and peaceful....then
SCREECH, SCREECH, SCREECH! She snaps out of it.
                                                            
 

108.

EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Cassieo opens her eyes half frightened by the SCREECHING
sound of someone hacking away at the violin. She looks. It's
Calico trying "and not very well" to play the violin.
                                                            
 
INT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Inside the captain's cabin trying to finish their meal,
pirates cover their ears from the awful sound.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
What is that!
                                                            
The pirates get up from the table to go investigate.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Calico darling what are you doing?
                                                            
Calico stops playing as crewmen gather around he and
Cassieo.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I'm going to accompany you on this
violin.
                                                            
The crew give looks to each other knowing this is not a good
idea.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
But Captain, you can't play.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
That was awful. Sir.
                                                            
Calico strikes a pose with the violin.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Your jealous, I can master this in
no time.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
Calico dear, it takes years of
practice to master.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I heard stories of a British
Captain who learned how to play,
and his crew loved him.
                                                            

109.

                       TAR JONES
Sir, we love you now, without you
playing the violin.
                                                            
                       CALICO
We'll just have to see then won't
we. Cassieo if you would please.
                                                            
Cassieo reluctantly starts to play, as the "Pegasus" sails
away. Then the awful SCREECHING sound of Calico trying to
play the violin begins again.
                                                            
 
EXT. CAVE TUNNEL - LATER
                                                            
Von, Pirate Dash and other pirates are walking out of the
castles blown apart main doorway down to the outer cove
where their rowboats are tied up. They are all disappointed
the treasure has been taken.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (angry)
That pirate ship we saw two days
ago.
                                                            
                       DASH FULTON
Aye Sir. With Captain Calico
Criss.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (angry)
They took my treasure!
                                                            
                       DASH FULTON
Aye Sir. Every last coin.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Where do you think they'll head?
                                                            
                       DASH FULTON
Port Faircloth sir, no doubt Port
Faircloth.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER (angry)
Dash. Have you ever seen a man's
heart ripped out?
                                                            
Von's hands turn vampire with long sharp black claws. He
runs his claws down the side of the stonewall leaving deep
claw marks in it. Dash and the other pirates watch in awe.
Just then entering the cave in a rowboat, PIRATE FALCON
yells to them.
                                                            

110.

                       PIRATE FALCON
Captain Von! Captain Von! The
"Empress"! We have trouble!
                                                            
Von's eyes open wide.
                                                            
 
EXT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
On deck, through his spyglass, Von is looking at twenty
ghost like pirate ships in the distant fog. They are in a
semi circle that now have the "Empress" trapped in the cove.
Von can see their pirate flags waving in the breeze. He can
see their cannons starting to poke out of the ports.
Dash is near looking through his spyglass as Purell
approaches them. Von is discussed with their situation.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
How did this happen? How did I
fall into a trap!
                                                            
Von paces down the side rail looking out at the ships ready
to attack him. Purell follows him. He calls back to Dash.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Dash ready the men! Ready the
cannon!
                                                            
Pirates hurry to their battle stations.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Von keep your head. They are just
stupid pirates.
                                                            
Von stops as Purell puts her hands on his shoulders. Pirates
nearby load their swivel cannons and pistols. Purell grins
at Von.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Look at me. Don't you think
they're Captain would rather have
me as his prize?
                                                            
Von grins back at her then looks at Dash.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Dash lowers the skull and
crossbones. Hoists up the white
surrender flag. Have the men stand
down.

EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - LATER
                                                            
Everything is still as the "Pegasus" cuts through the thick
fog. The crew are relaxed with Captain Calico behind the
wheel. Everyone hears the THUMPING sound of distant cannon
fire, followed by the incoming SCREAM of a cannon ball. It
knocks apart the top rails on the upper deck then EXPLODES.
Other cannon balls SCREAM by as near misses splashing into
the water around the ship. Peter on the upper deck yells
down.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
They are behind us!
                                                            
                       CALICO
Drop more sail!
                                                            
Calico is spinning the ships wheel.
                                                            
 
EXT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Von and Pirate Dash are looking through the fog but can only
see the three back lanterns lit on the back end of the
"Pegasus" disappear into the fog. Von is disappointed.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
We had them. I said aim low for
the rudder.
                                                            
Von turns the ships wheel.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico is whispering to Cassieo, Peter and Tar.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Tell everyone to be still, we'll
hide in the fog.
                                                            
 
EXT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Von, Pirate Dash, and crewmen looking into the fog.
                                                            
                       DASH FULTON
They'll try to make open water,
this is a cat and mouse game.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Good thing we are the cat.
                                                            

112.

The "Empress" glides through the fog.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico is talking to Cassieo, Tar, Peter and crewmen.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I have an idea, this just might
work.
                                                            
Everyone looking at Calico. Calico looking over the men.
                                                            
                       CALICO
I need one brave man.
                                                            
No one says anything, just looking at each other, no
volunteers.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - LATER
                                                            
On the side of the ship. Calico has been lowered off the
"Pegasus" onto a longboat next to the ship. The longboat has
a MAST and YARDARM laying out on it. Calico is tying a ROPE
around his waist. He looks up to his crew on the "Pegasus".
                                                            
                       CALICO
I'm the brave man?
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
This was your crazy idea Captain.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Its not that crazy.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
Then you should have no problems.
                                                            
 
EXT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
All is still as lookout pirates peer into the fog looking
for site of the "Pegasus". Pirate Dash is near Von.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
If they do survive this night,
track them all day. But save the
fight for the night.
                                                            
                       DASH FULTON
Yes Sir.
                                                            
 

113.

EXT. LONGBOAT - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico is hooking up lines. There is a small mast in the
center of the longboat. He hoists up the larger mast pole
with the yardarm on it. It has a sail rolled up on it. As it
goes into place he ties it down. It's a longboat with an
over sized mast on it.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
The other end of the rope Calico was tied to is tied to the
ships rail hanging over into the water.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I don't see Calico. He's lost in
the fog. He is a brave man.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
He thinks the crew of the
"Empress" will think the longboat
is the "Pegasus".
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
I don't understand how they will.
                                                            
 
EXT. LONGBOAT - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico lights a lantern. Then pulls up a line. The lantern
is attached and is pulled up to the mast top. The lantern is
in place, high up on the mast.
                                                            
 
EXT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
A LOOKOUT PIRATE spots the flickering lantern on Calico's
longboat.
                                                            
                       LOOKOUT PIRATE
There she is, off the port bow!
                                                            
Van and Dash spot the lantern in the fog.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Get ready to fire!
                                                            
 
EXT. LONGBOAT - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico is struggling trying to light another lantern, then
is panicked when he hears the crew on the "Empress"
shouting.

114.

His eyes open wide. He fumbles with another lit lantern then
drops it. The glass on the lantern breaks and the lamp oil
catches fire. A good size fire lights the area.
                                                            
 
EXT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Von and crew can see the longboat on fire and Calico dancing
around trying to put out the fire.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
What is he doing?... Lets get rid
of him...Fire!
                                                            
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Four cannons on the "Empress" fire
at the longboat. Calico fearing for his life runs screaming
off the back of the longboat. Cannon balls splash and
EXPLODE around the longboat. One makes a direct hit. The
longboat flies apart into the night.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Pirate Tar and crew watching the flashes from the
"Empress's" cannon as they shoot another volly at the
longboat, it lights up the "Empress". They now know where
she's at. A perfect spot for a broadside.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Fire!
                                                            
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Cannon and swivel cannon on the "Pegasus"
fire at the "Empress". A cannon station on the "Empress" is
struck by a cannon ball and EXPLODES.

Von is furious.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
They are behind us!
                                                            
Von spins the ships wheel.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - LATER
                                                            
In the thick fog the "Pegasus" gets off another cannon
volley BOOM BOOM BOOM as the ships drift apart, she is
disappearing into the fog.
                                                            
 

115.

EXT. EMPRESS PIRATE SHIP - LATER
                                                            
Calico is standing on the deck soaking wet as Pirate Peter
unties the rope from Calico's waist.
                                                            
                       CALICO (shaking cold)
Why did it take so long to pull me
out?
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Sir. We were in the heat of battle
engaged with the mighty "Empress"
did you see the hits we put on
her?
                                                            
                       CALICO (shaking cold)
No, I was busy drinking sea water
and being dragged around the
battle for the last two hours. Oh
and fighting off sharks. I was
drowning out there.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
Aye. That was a good plan. Them
thinking the longboat was the
"Pegasus".
                                                            
Calico rolls his eyes as Cassieo puts a dry blanket around
him as the "Pegasus" disappears into the night fog.
                                                            
 
EXT. DEVIL'S DAUGHTER PIRATE SHIP - NIGHT
                                                            
On deck of the "DEVIL'S DAUGHTER" it's crowded with the
meanest, ugliest pirates manning the ship. Some look half
dead, others a strange vampire look to them. Some growling
at others. A blacksmith POUNDING a red hot sword on his
anvil, another loading his pistol. A few pirates in the chow
line with their tin cups receiving some mush.

                       PURELL KAISER
I am so happy tonight.
                                                            
Purell smiles at someone. Across the table.
                                                            

116.

                       PURELL KAISER
I am so happy to be with my
grandfather.
                                                            
Captain HECTOR KAISER a wicked ugly looking man, head of the
Kaiser vampire family, their grandfather, grins back at his
granddaughter.
                                                            
                       HECTOR KAISER
And you child, so beautiful. And
my grandson Von so handsome.
                                                            
Purell smiles at him.
                                                            
                       HECTOR KAISER
I'm not worried about Calico
Criss. We'll have our treasure
back. Twenty one of our ships. His
one. And he hasn't seen me eat.
                                                            
Hector opens his mouth and shows Purell his huge fangs, his
mouth drooling like a hungry wolf. Purell smiles back
showing her fangs.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
Those fangs of yours grandfather
even scare me.
                                                            
                       HECTOR KAISER
And wait till Calico sees my crew
from hell.
                                                            
Hector smiles then hisses a wolf like GROWL.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - NIGHT
                                                            
The "Pegasus" is cutting through the sea. It's a foggy night
with a full moon lighting up the fog. Calico is behind the
wheel, Peter and Tar are near him.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
We have lost them Captain.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Of course, Your captain knows what
he's doing.
                                                            
Up in the crows nest Pirate WILLIAM FANCY yells down to
them.
                                                            
                       WILLIAM FANCY
Ships ho! Off the port bow!
                                                            

117.

Tar hands Calico a spyglass, He looks ahead with it. He sees
the silhouette of five ships heading right towards them.
Up in the crow's nest William yells down again.
                                                            
                       WILLIAM FANCY
Five more off the starboard bow!
                                                            
Tar is looking through his spy glass and sees ten ships
heading at them port side he can see British flags.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Ten ships port side!
                                                            
Calico spins his spyglass starboard and sees ships heading
at them. William yells down again.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
Their British war ships, I see
their flags. One ship of the line!
                                                            
Calico spins the wheel hard, turning the ship away from the
British war ships, he looks up at his skull and crossbone
flag.
                                                            
                       CALICO
If we can see their flags, they
can see ours.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
It's the whole Royal Navy after
us.
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH
We'll be heading back towards the
"Empress".
                                                            
                       CALICO
Correct. And as close to her as we
can get. She'll keep the British
busy all night.

up sail to slow down!
                                                            
Calico yells up to Peter who's behind him on the upper deck.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Peter! They behind us?
                                                            
                       PETER SMITH

                       CALICO
Very good. They'll want the
"Empress" more than us.
                                                            
Up in the crow's nest William yells down.
                                                            
                       WILLIAM FANCY
Captain! Behind, the "Empress"!
More ships.
                                                            
Calico looks ahead and sees twenty of Hectors's ghost like
pirate ships behind the "Empress" coming out of the fog that
is now lifting from all the movement on the seas.
                                                            
                       CALICO

                       CALICO
Good. Now go back in the cabin and
stay there.
                                                            
Cassieo looks puzzled and disappointed.

Are they pirates?
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
Not exactly sir. More like
treasure hunters. He's not a
vampire. He's a good man sir. He
led us to them.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Your sure of this? If they fire on
us we'll ram them.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
He's not a vampire. That's Calico
Criss. He must of heard of the
bounty on the vampires. At one

British.

On the decks of Hector's pirate ships, iron cages are being
brought up from below that are filled with the small bats
from hell. Gargoyle vampires are getting ready to fly off
and attack the British ships. All hell breaks loose as
British war ships fire on the pirate ships and the pirates
ships fire back.

A full blown naval battle ensues. Von's little bats dive
bomb the British ships, causing disruption and panic on the
British ships. Soldiers shoot and hack at them with their
swords. All the ships are converging around the "Pegasus".
Sailors and pirates throw lines with hooks at each other's
ships, pulling them closer so that each can embark on the
other. Pirates on rope lines tied to mast yardarms, swing
onto the British ships fighting.
                                                            
Gargoyle vampires leap and fly over to the British ships.
The fighting is hand-to-hand with the raging beasts.
Vampires rip into the sailors and soldiers. Shots from
swivel cannon on all ships blindly spray the decks of the
opposing ships.

Men and vampires screaming at each other in the mist of
cannon fire, men and vampires falling dead across the decks.
Lines of soldiers fire muskets at the pirates and beasts.
The pirates try shooting back. The "Empress" and "Pegasus"
are close to each other and fire cannons randomly. Chaos is
aboard each ship.

On deck, shots from British swivel cannons spray the deck as
both pirates and vampires are taken out. Near by, a pirate
ship is on fire and sinking fast, pirates and vampires are
jumping overboard. Smoke is now taking the place of the fog.
Cannon balls continue to SCREAM by.
                                                            
                       DASH FULTON
Captain we took a bad hit and are
taking on water.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Good this will give the men
incentive to jump ship onto the
"Pegasus" and take her. Get more
hooks and ropes ready to snag her.
                                                            
As the ships get closer, Von and his crew notice that Calico
and crew are not anywhere to be seen on deck. As he
continues to scan the ship, Von spots Calico up on the high
mast with a line wrapped around his arm. Von points to him.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
See that man on the mast? That's
their Captain. Don't kill him he's
mine.
                                                            
Near by a British ship is smoking and sinking, men are
jumping overboard. Von addresses his pirates, their wings
out stretched ready for a fight. They are ugly looking
creatures HISSING showing their fangs anxious waiting for
orders to kill and feed.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
When I give you the orders, lead
us onto the ship. Kill everyone of
them!
                                                            
Von's crew throws the hooks over to the "Pegasus" and start
pulling it in closer. The rest of his crew is ready with
pistols and swords. The beasts take their positions ready to
pounce. The closer the ship gets, the more fire is in Von's
eyes.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Jump!

EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico jumps off the mast holding onto the line. Using
himself as a counter balance, pulleys begin to HUM as he
descends, and rows of sharpened wood spears rise up from the
deck. Calico's crew emerge from being hidden inside the deck
walls, all crewmen have their stakes ready and pistols
loaded with silver ball shots. There are boards on the deck
floor with wooden spikes sticking up from them.
Meanwhile, the half of the beasts are jumping, half are
flying. Flapping their wings and crashing and getting
tangled into the spikes. It is a massacre. Calico's men are
hacking with their stakes and shooting them with silver
bullets. In a very short time all the beasts are dead. Some
of Von's pirates who boarded the ship after the beasts are
shot as soon as they reach the deck.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - CONTINUOUS
                                                            
                       CALICO
Fire!
                                                            
At close range the cannons on the "Pegasus" fire point blank
into Von's ship "Empress", the ship rocks from the hits. Von
tries desperately to rally his men in the chaos.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
This ship is sinking get on the
"Pegasus"! Abandon ship!
                                                            
Von sees the "Revenge" ram into the "Empress" from the other
side, as he turns he sees Wickman's crew jumping aboard from
the other side. Fighting is fierce. Calico is walking down
the side rail as he comes across an OLD PIRATE who his
kneeling next to a wooded box. As Calico passes, the old
pirate hands him two pistols ready for fire. Calico takes
one in each hand and walks on.

Pirate Tar is fending off a gargoyle vampire, by stabbing it
through the heart with his sword, the vampire screams as he
meets his death. Another flies down and digs his claws into
Tar's shoulders. Tar screams in pain as the vampire starts
to fly off with him.

Calico hears Tar and brings the beast into focus, takes aim,
and shoots. The vampire screams in pain as he and Tar tumble
to the deck. Peter rushes over to Tar using his cutlass,
cuts the legs of the vampire off leaving the claws in Tar's
shoulders.

The old pirate sitting near the side rail is reloading
pistols as fast as he can with silver ball shots. One of the

124.

bats dives down and lands on Calico's violin case, he digs
his claws into it's leather and starts to fly off with it.
The old pirate notices.
                                                            
                       OLD PIRATE
Calico your violin case!
                                                            
Calico spins around to see the bat flying off with his
violin case, he takes aim and shoots. The silver ball shot
goes through the violin case, the strings TWANG, as the bat
flies off with it.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Now I'm mad.
                                                            
 
EXT. DEVIL'S DAUGHTER PIRATE SHIP - CONTINUOUS
                                                            
The "Devil's Daughter" ship slides up next to "Revenge"
ship. Captain Hector Kaiser is on the bridge with Purell at
his side, he yells orders to his gargoyle vampires and
pirates below.
                                                            
                       HECTOR KAISER
Tie up to the "Revenge"!
                                                            
 
INT. BIRDS EYE VIEW - CONTINUOUS
                                                            
A bat flying high overheard peering down at the flashes,
smoke and chaos sees the "Devil's Daughter" tied off to the
"Revenge". The "Revenge" tied to the "Empress". And the
"Empress" tied to the "Pegasus".
                                                            
 
EXT. DEVIL'S DAUGHTER PIRATE SHIP - CONTINUOUS
                                                            
                       HECTOR KAISER
Bring up and free the wolves.
                                                            
Pirates on the "Devil's Daughter" slide a wooden ramp over
to the "Revenge". A iron cage from below deck is hoisted up,
it's filled with WOLVES. The wolves are growling and showing
their fangs. The cage door is released and the vampire
wolves rage out of the cage across the ramp over onto the
"Revenge", attacking all of Doctor Wickman's crew.
                                                            
 
EXT. REVENGE GUN SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
On the deck of the "Revenge", crewmen are being attacked and
shredded by the vampire wolves. A crewman stakes one of the
vampire wolves it HOWLS as it dies. Otto spots one charging

125.

towards him. The vampire wolf jumps onto Otto, knocking him
down. The growling wolf tugs at Otto's arm. Gurhard is
nearby and slams his silver headed ax into the wolf's side,
it HOWLS before dieing. Anne is near Doctor Wickman as he
holds up his silver headed throwing ax.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Throw axes!
                                                            
A row of Wickman's crewmen throw their silver headed axes at
gargoyle vampires and pirates on the "Devil's Daughter".
Gargoyle vampires and pirates yell in pain as the axes
penetrate their souls as they die. Doctor Wickman points to
the "Devil's Daughter" ship and yells.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Attack!
                                                            
Vampire hunters with their leather hats from the "Revenge"
swing over and onto the "Devil's Daughter", others climb
over the side rails onto her. The fighting is fierce.
                                                            
Anne looks and sees Zak's sword fighting one of Wickman's
men. Anne makes her way over onto the "Devil's Daughter"
trying to get to Zak, then amongst the turmoil, she spots
Purell. Purell at the same moment sees Anne. Across the deck
their eyes lock. Zak is sword-fighting Otto near Purell.
Anne heads for Purell, sword ready and pistol pointed right
at her chest.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
I want my man back!
                                                            
As Anne gets near Purell.
                                                            
                       PURELL KAISER
You'll have to kill me first.
                                                            
Purell shows her fangs and starts to turn into a Gargoyle
vampire, her wings come out, her claws come out, her face
changes. Although a grueling change, it takes time to
complete the transformation.
                                                            
During the transformation, Anne takes her silver tipped
sword and rams it into Purell's heart, steps back and shoots
Purell in the forehead. Purell lets out a blood-chilling
scream. Everyone is startled and for a moment everything
seemed to pause so that they could watch this horrific
slaying. Hector looks at Purell. Her skin blackens and
starts to fall off her skull. She falls to the deck. Hector
is shocked at what just happened to his granddaughter. As
this is happening, Zak feels the curse of Purell being
lifted. He is finally freed from under her control.
                                                            

126.

                       HECTOR KAISER (shocked)
Purell!
                                                            
Anne turns and purposely knocks Zak out of the way with her
leather jack. He falls to the deck in an instant.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY (addressing Otto)
This one is mine.
                                                            
Anne throws her body over Zak to protect him.
                                                            
                       ANNE BONNY
Zak I'm sorry are you alright.
                                                            
Hector who is now beginning to turn into a vampire himself,
sees Anne laying next to Zak on the deck.
                                                            
Still a little dazed and confused as Zak opens his eyes, he
realizes that Anne not only broke the curse he was under,
but has saved him from Hector as well.
                                                            
A dark shadow quickly covers both of them. They look up and
notice that Hector is now a vampire standing over them ready
to pounce. He shows his fangs. Gurhard, behind Hector,
throws his silver headed ax at Hector. The ax spins end over
end then finds its mark in the center of his back. The
impact jerks Hector as he screams in pain, as he turns.
Hinrick runs up to Hector and plants his silver headed ax
into Hector's chest.

Hector starts to shake in pain as his skin starts to turn
black and flake off. Hector looks down at the ax stuck in
his chest then his eye's look up to see he's staring down
the barrel of a pistol. Doctor Wickman fires his pistol at
Hector's face, the silver ball shot strikes Hector in the
forehead. Hector stands for a moment, stagers, then falls
dead at Anne's feet.
                                                            
 
EXT. PEGASUS PIRATE SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico's crew is still fighting Von's crew. Von sees Calico
and jumps onto the "Pegasus".
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
Calico you're a dead man!
                                                            
Von hacks down two of Calico's crew on his way to attack
Calico. A sword fight soon underway. They make their way
fighting towards the captain's quarters. They lock swords at
the handles, face to face.
                                                            

127.

                       VON KAISER
I'm going to suck every drop of
blood out of you!
                                                            
Von shows his fangs and he starts to turn into a gargoyle
vampire. He grabs Calico and thrashes him to the deck.
Calico now lying on a thick deck plank. A cannon fires from
a British warship. The cannon ball hits the main mast on
the "Empress". A loud CRACK as the mast starts to fall
towards the "Pegasus". Von looks over seeing the falling
mast. Calico laying on the deck looks up to see the yardarm
heading down towards him, his eyes widen.

It looks like a large T square falling from the "Empress"
onto Calico laying on the "Pegasus". The yardarm falls at
the end of the plank, near Calico's feet where he's laying.
The huge impact catapults Calico up into the air. Everyone
watching as Calico is shot upward to the crow's nest. Calico
grabs onto the crow's nest with white knuckles. Pirate
William in the crow's nest pokes his head out and looks
surprised to see Calico hanging on for dear life looking up
at him.
                                                            
                       WILLIAM FANCY (surprised)
Captain!
                                                            
                       CALICO
Just checking on you mate.
                                                            
Pirate William hoists Calico up into the nest and hands him
a pistol. Calico can see the "Rumrunner" sinking below.
Spotting a line from his pulley system, wraps his arm around
it and jumps. Calico smoothly lowers himself back down to
the deck near Von who is now a gruesome gargoyle vampire.
Calico takes aim with his pistol.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Where were we? Oh yes. Silver
bullet mate.
                                                            
Calico shoots Von in the chest near his heart. The impact
knocks Von down. Von gets back up hissing, showing his
fangs. He grabs Calico then throws him. Calico flies into
the wall next to the captain's door. Almost knocked out from
the impact, manages to pull his other pistol out.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
You have to hit the heart. You
were high by a inch.
                                                            
Von gets ready to pounce on Calico laying on the deck.
Calico aims his pistol once again at Von.
                                                            

128.

                       CALICO
Silver bullet mate. Let me try
that again.
                                                            
Calico fires, Von is knocked backwards and falls. Calico
gives a sigh of relief. But Von gets back up, points to his
heart and begins to laugh in a deep roar of satisfaction of
another miss.
                                                            
                       VON KAISER
You have to hit the heart. You
were low by a inch.
                                                            
Von poises himself ready to pounce on Calico, just as the
cabin door opens a crack. Cassieo tosses Calico her
derringer pistol. Calico catches it. The door closes as soon
as the pistol was tossed. Von charges Calico. Calico aims
yet a third time and fires just as Von jumps on him. Von
rolls off him screaming holding his chest. Von's skin turns
black and begins to fall off his face. Everyone's looking
at Von as he tries to get up then falls to the deck in a
pile of chard bones.

The fighting stops as everyone watches Calico approach Von's
remins. Von's blacken skin has fallen off. Calico kicks his
skull and it rolls across the deck. The rest of Von's crew
drop their weapons. The vampire curse is broken. Gargoyle
vampires and cursed pirates are freed from the spell they
have been living under. Calico's and Doctor Wickman's men
cheer in victory. Water is bubbling up through the deck
planks.
                                                            
                       TAR JONES
The Pegasus is going down! Abandon
ship!
                                                            
Everyone on the "Pegasus" started coming on board the
"Revenge". The "Pegasus" begins tilting as she fills with
water. Tar and Peter help Cassieo on board the "Revenge".
Calico and Cassieo embrace. Pirates are cutting the lines to
the "Pegasus" so she doesn't pull the "Revenge" down with
her.
                                                            
 
EXT. REVENGE GUN SHIP - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Calico looks at the "Pegasus", all the treasures on deck,
stacks of gold bars. Stacks of coins fall all over the deck.
she's sinking fast. A look of depression falls over his face
as he watches in dissapointment.
                                                            
                       CALICO (bummed out)
My treasure.
                                                            

129.

Peter and Tar have tears in their eyes. Everyone watches the
"Pegasus" as the tallest mast slips below the waterline.
                                                            
 
EXT. PORT FAIRCLOTH PUB - MORNING
                                                            
The next morning most everyone is gathered in the dinning
area eating breakfast and reflecting on all that has
happened. Calico and Cassieo are not present. A courier
approaches Wickman and gives him a letter from the Royal
church, a red wax seal is stamped on it.
                                                            
                       COURIER
Sir, this letter arrived for you
four weeks ago.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman takes the letter, breaks the wax seal and
reads it to himself.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Everyone listen up. I have just
received this dispatch from her
Majesties church. And it reads as
follows.
                                                            
Everyone stops what they are doing and looks in his
direction.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
We have positive information Von
Kaiser is traveling with his three
sisters. Purell, Rushka and
Cassieo. All four must be put to
death.
                                                            
The letter lowers and hangs in his hands.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR WICKMAN
Otto, Hinrick, Gurhard go up, find
Calico, arrest him, then hang him.
Find that woman Cassieo Kaiser and
stake her. We're going to end this
today.
                                                            
Doctor Wickman's men leave the room to follow through with
their orders.
                                                            
 

130.

EXT. CARIBBEAN SEA - LATER
                                                            
Five miles out to sea away from Port Faircloth a fishing
boat with large sails is making a run for it. From behind, a
person is at the wheel with a hood draped over their head.
In front of them is Calico slowly approaching.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Do you feel alright?
                                                            
The person facing Calico removes the hood exposing her long
light brown hair and Cassieo's beautiful smile.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I've never felt more alive. This
is the first time in my life I've
been in the daylight. I love it.
                                                            
                       CALICO
Remember not to much sun the first
few days, it will burn you.
                                                            
Calico is surveying the deck and checking in on his cargo.
There are a five wooden cages with chickens in them, two
crates with pigs in each, and a few kegs of rum. On the Port
side, a canvas covers what seems like a small pile of boxes.
Removing the canvas, Calico uncovers whats underneath.

Kneeling down next to one of the boxes, he opens it. It's
filled with gold coins, and the sold gold Egyptian ankh that
was once in Cassieo's possession. Calico smiles, takes a
handful of coins and slowly pours them back into the pile.
Cassieo is watching and smiles. Smiling back, Calico closes
the lid, and replaces the canvas to cover their treasures.
Eyes now locked, he moves toward Cassieo places his hand on
hers at the wheel and stands behind her.
                                                            
                       CASSIEO KAISER
I forgot to tell you the other
night on the "Pegasus", a vampire
flew off and hid those treasures
on Port Faircloth.
                                                            
Calico smiles as the boat sails away.

THE END

PIRATE CALICO CRISS is a fictitious pirate that sails the
Cayman Islands.
All characters appearing in my screenplays are fictitious.
Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely
coincidental. Any resemblance to Captain Jack Sparrow the
Disney character is purely coincidental.

131.

PIRATE CALICO CRISS is better looking, stronger, younger and
smarter. He also likes magic and wears calico skullcaps or
calico bandannas at times. More like the known real pirate
Calico Jack, then again there were many pirates.
My screenplays are registered with the Writers Guild of
America, West as well as the U.S. Copyright office.

From John Bradley Date 8/22/2012 ****
Hey I really like the concept-parity of pirates vs vampires. Very creative. Ok, so here is some advice, Calico, Cassieo, Corriour, Clouse, also the different PIRATES you have way too many names that starts with C and P that will really annoy a professional reading your screenplay (so I have been told numerous times), also instead of doing this....... to indicate a pause use (beat) or (long beat)
