Following the battle of Calypso's maelstrom, only the "Black Pearl" emerges from the abyss. Worried that his advantage is lost with the "Flying Dutchman" apparently gone, Beckett orders the "Endeavour" to move forward and attack the "Pearl". However, the "Dutchman" resurfaces from the sea, no longer under Beckett's control, as Will had stabbed Jones' heart and become the ship's new captain. Both the "Pearl" and the "Dutchman" flank the "Endeavour" and open fire, tearing the ship apart. Paralysed with shock and fear, Beckett is unable to give any orders, resulting in the crew abandoning ship while he remains on board. After Beckett descends the deck stairs, the powder magazine of the "Endeavour" explodes, killing him. Following his death, the EITC armada retreats in demoralised defeat.
