Cal was relieved that Rose was in the lifeboat…his lie that he could get him and Jack off the ship safely worked perfectly. He was grateful that Jack went along with it, or otherwise Rose would have never gotten into the lifeboat. All he had to do was wait until Rose was safely off and then head to his own lifeboat, and leave the gutter rat to his own devices. He looked at Jack, who happened to have his eyes on Rose. He could see that Jack truly loved Rose, and could see that he was relieved that she was safe. Cal turned and saw that Rose wasn't looking at him…she had her eyes full of love staring at Jack. Cal couldn't believe it… Rose had never looked at him that way. But it was obvious that Rose had fallen in love with Jack. That was certain, and it broke his heart because he also loved Rose. He comforted himself with the notion that once he was in the lifeboat, he would survive and Jack wouldn't. Rose would have no choice but to marry him then.
Suddenly he saw Rose jump off the lifeboat, and back onto the ship. He couldn't believe it! Jack couldn't either…and both of them were calling out for someone to stop her! Once Rose had made it safely back on the ship, Jack took off running after her! He ran after Jack, and he could hear Lovejoy following him. Cal knew the route that Jack had taken would lead him to the Grand Staircase…and sure enough there was Rose safe in Jack's arms. He could hear Jack asking Rose why she jumped back onto the ship, and then saw Jack kissing her. He could hear Rose saying she couldn't go without him….she wasn't going to leave unless she knew that Jack was safe!
Cal was numb….he knew that Rose had fallen in love with Jack. But to witness it being confirmed and seeing her kiss Jack was like a dagger to his heart. Hadn't he done everything to show that he loved her?! She barely knew Jack, and here she was declaring her love for him. Jack had no money to his name, but she didn't care! It was obvious the way that Jack was holding Rose that they had been lovers! How could they not have been, with that scandalous drawing that Rose left in his safe! Lovejoy was trying to lead him away to safety, but a rage burned in his soul! If he couldn't have the woman he loved, he wasn't about to let her go off with that gutter rat! He was going to make them pay dearly! He grabbed Lovejoy's pistol out of his jacket, and ran toward the two lovers!
Right as he fired, Jack looked up…his eyes wide with fear! Jack quickly grabbed Rose's hand in a mad dash to get away from him! Cal wasn't about to let them get away, and chased them down the stairwell, until he ran out of ammunition and they were running into the flooding dining saloon. He landed into the cold water, and in frustration threw away the empty pistol. He hollered after them, "I hope you enjoy your time together!" He decided to cut his losses, and make his way back up to the boat deck. Suddenly he remembered he put his coat on Rose, and began to laugh at his stupidity. Lovejoy had found him and asked, "What could possibly be so funny?" Cal admitted that he put the diamond into his coat pocket, and he put the coat on Rose! Well, he could always get the insurance money on the diamond later. But if by some miracle Rose survived, he would get his fiancé and his prized possession back!
