BLACK ROSE CABIN (night)

Jack strokes Elizabeth's face and kisses her gently as she gets a crying James from his cot.

Jack: "Hey little guy."

The baby continues crying.

Elizabeth: "He's hungry."

Jack: "That's your job…I'm going outside, see how things are goin'."

He kisses her lightly and leaves her and the baby.

BLACK ROSE DECK

Jack walks about. All the men are working. Kings spots him and walks up to him

Kings: "Jack…"

Jack looks at him.

Jack: "Kings."

Kings: "Jack I need a favour."

Jack: "Anything for you."

Kings: "You're in a happy mood…"

Jack looks to the horizon.

Jack: "Aye…"

Kings: "Yes, well. Could you change rout for a couple of days?"

Jack: "Change rout?!"

Kings: "Yes, see my wife, Jane was with child when I left in Beckett's ship and I would like to go to her."

Jack: "Ha right I'll change rout. Bit if you intend to go retrieve your bonny lass, I assume you have a heading?"

Kings: "…eh…heading…no"

Jack: "Call yerself a seaman? 'Coz I don't"

He walks bellow deck. Kings looks after him slightly confused weather or not to follow.

Jack comes back holding his compass in his hand.

Jack: "Well Mr. Kings, Is seeing yer bonny lass the thing you want most in this world?"

Kings: "Of course."

Jack: "Take this; it'll give you a heading."

Kings starts to walk to the helm. Jack stops him.

Jack: "You loose that, you die."

Kings looks down at the compass questioningly.

Kings: "What?"

Jack: "Have you any idea how bad it would be if…"

He looks around to see if anyone is listening.

Jack: "…Turner junior got this?"

Kings: "ah, right…I shall guard it with my life."

Jack: "Yes you will."

They walk off in different directions.

Jack walks back to the cabin.

Elizabeth has just put the baby back in the cot and is getting ready to sleep.

Jack: "We're changing course for a couple of days."

Elizabeth: "What? Why?"

Jack: "Kings."

Elizabeth: "George?"

Jack: "Aye he wants to get his wife and child."

Elizabeth: "Child?"

Jack: "Yea, some Jane was carrying his child when he left."

Elizabeth gets into bed.

Elizabeth: "Jane…"

Jack: "Aye…says she's yer friend…"

Elizabeth: "Oh! Jane…she's really great Jack"

Jack takes off his boots and gets into bed. He kisses her forehead.

Jack: "Thanks, but I'm taken love."

He sinks down and closes his eyes.

Elizabeth smiles to herself and does the same.

BLACK ROSE DECK (morning)

The sky is dark grey, rain is pouring, the wind is furiously howling and the ship is swaying a lot. The crew is furiously running around tugging ropes. Gov. Swann and Kings come from bellow deck, Swann holding his hat. Bootstrap closes the cargo hole's grate. Jack and Elizabeth come out of the cabin. Jack is holding a heavily covered James. Swann walks up to them.

Swann: "Elizabeth, you and the baby should go back inside."

Gibbs: "Captain…She's not going to hold much longer."

Jack hands James to Elizabeth.

Jack: "I'll be right back."

He kisses her forehead and walks up to the helm.

Gibbs: "Jack, the main sail is going to tare."

Jack looks up at the sail. He looks at Gibbs and runs down from the helm.

Jack: "Elizabeth. Get inside, now."

Elizabeth: "Jack, its him isn't it."

Jack looks at the agitated sea.

Jack: "Yes it is…. Get inside."

Swann: "Elizabeth come on."

They both go back to the Cabin. Gibbs runs down to Jack.

Gibbs: Jack…the sail."

Jack looks up again.

Jack: "She can hold a bit longer."

He walks to the rail.

Gibbs: "Jack what are you doing?"

Jack pulls out a dagger and makes a cut on his hand. He lets the blood fall into the sea. It starts to calm. The clouds move away and the sky turns blue.

Jack grabs his hand with the other. His face cringes with the pain.

Jack: "Mr. Gibbs, get three men up there and fix the damn sail."

He walks towards the cabin, at the same time he pulls a peace of cloth from his waist and ties it around his hand. He goes in.

BLACK ROSE CABIN

Elizabeth looks up when he enters. She gives the baby to Gov. Swann and jumps up at Jack.

Elizabeth: "Jack?"

She notices his pained face and his hand.

Elizabeth: "How did you…?"

She sees the bloody knife.

Elizabeth: "You didn't…"

Jack: "The bastard wants me dead, let him think I am."

Elizabeth leads jack to a chair sits him down and starts unwrapping the cloth. She sees the deep cut.

Elizabeth: "Father, get Tia Dalma please."

Swann looks reluctant to let the baby go. But he puts it in hits cot and goes out; soon he comes back in followed by Tia Dalma.

Tia: "What be the matter?"

She sees Jack's hand. Thinks for a second, looks at the sky.

Tia: "Jack Sparrow, good thinkin'…fraid it won't last for ever…"

Jack: "I know…"

He flinches as Elizabeth pulls a bit of the cloth that got stuck on the wound.

Tia: "Alright let me see…"

She shoves Elizabeth aside and starts looking at Jack's hand. She reaches in her pocket and takes out a small flask; she tips the content onto jack's wound. He jumps in pain.

Jack: "OW! Bugger, what was that?"

Smoke comes from the wound and it begins to seal.

Tia: "There…good as new."

She stands up and walks to the Baby's cot. Then turns to Elizabeth.

Tia: "He looks good."

Elizabeth hugs Jack.

Elizabeth: "Thank you."

Tia leaves. Swann looks at Jack.

Swann: "Listen, I do not think that the sea is a proper place for a child, however you already know that. But Elizabeth there is something out there that wants your husband, and very possibly your son, dead."

Elizabeth: "If Jack agrees to stay with us on land, we will, if not we will continue to the treasure."

Swann: "Elizabeth, please think about this."

Elizabeth: "I have."

Jack: "Governor, you are more then welcome to stay on land if you wish. But we won't"

Swann: "Do you have no feelings for your family? YOU PIRATE"

James starts crying. Jack walks up to the cot and picks him up. He stops crying and his little hand curls around jack's hair.

Jack: "I do, and I know that neither one of us could exist on land."

Swann: "Elizabeth, please reconsider."

Elizabeth: "No, I'm sorry, my mind is made."

He looks desperately from James to Jack to Elizabeth and storms out.

Jack: "Something tells me he still doesn't like me…"

Elizabeth: "Don't worry; it's just too much for him to adjust to."

She takes James and puts him in his cot again. She turns back to Jack and kisses him passionately. Suddenly there is a loud noise outside and shouting. Jack runs out and Elizabeth follows.

BLACK ROSE DECK

Jack runs out of the cabin and Elizabeth follows. Pintel is yelling up to Ragetti who is on the mast helping fix the sail.

Pintel: "You moron…That hurt"

He throws a hammer to the sky to try and hit Ragetti but it just falls and hits him on the foot.

Pintel: "OW!"

Jack: "You…"

Pintel looks at him.

Jack: "And you…"

Ragetti looks down at him.

Jack: "SHUT UP…either you start behaving properly or you'll be walkin' the plank."

Pintel: "We ain't kids… (Under his breath) 'behave properly'…"

Jack walks up to him and holds him by the neck.

Jack: "What was that?"

Ragetti: "Nothing, sir."

Jack lets go of him and pushes him back.

Jack: "Get to work."

He grabs Elizabeth around the waist and she makes to go back to the cabin. He stops her and kisses her gently. Everyone looks at them Pintel and Ragetti start making whopping sounds. Jack and Elizabeth ignore them.

Gov. Swann looks at them.

Swann: "Elizabeth, please behave properly…"

Jack and Elizabeth move apart but sill look at each other smiling. Jack grabs her hand and smirks.

Jack: "Governor, why don't you talk to those two men over there…?"

He points to Pintel and Ragetti

Jack: "…I'm sure they have an appropriate answer for you."

He kisses Elizabeth gently and leads her into the cabin. Swann looks furious after them.

He turns to kings.

Swann: "How can she do this? Throw her life away, James' life away for a no good, rum soaked pirate?"

Kings: "Sir, I think she's happy…"

Swann: "Of course she is, that's not the point. The point is this is not a proper way for a woman her age and of her class to act."

Kings: "sir, she's as much a pirate now as Jack or any of them…any of us really…"

He looks to the crew.

Swann sighs

Swann: "I know…that's the worst part."

He storms off bellow deck. Kings looks helplessly after him then looks at the compass.
