BLACK ROSE CABIN
Elizabeth suddenly sits up.
Elizabeth: "Where's Jack?"
Tia: "What? Rest…why?"
Elizabeth: "nothing, it was just a dream."
Tia Dalma puts her hand to Elizabeth's head. She has a fever. Tia gets a cloth, wets it and puts it on her forehead.
Elizabeth: "Tia, why did Davy Jones change when he saw you?"
Tia: "Ha, that, so Jack didn't tell you? ... Alright, t'was many years ago. I was but a child of 15, me father had arranged a marriage with a noble man. We were soon to be married, and then I met Davy Jones, a courageous sea man. We fell in love, but we had to hide our relationship."
Elizabeth looks at the sky, relating to the story.
Tia: "the nobleman found out, he hunted Jones down and killed him. I couldn't have that, so I made it so he wasn't completely dead, he was…well, the Jones you know. But I couldn't love him, not the thing he'd become, so he cut out him heart and locked it away. Hadn't seen him since."
Elizabeth: "did you marry the nobleman?"
Tia: "No… he died at the hands of Davy Jones on our crossing from England; I've been living above water since."
Elizabeth: "Will wouldn't, would he?"
Tia: "Kill Jack? I don't know…"
Elizabeth roles over and faces the wall. Tia moves to a chair in the corner and sits in it. She pulls out a locket. (the one Jones had in his cabin.)
BLACK ROSE DECK
James looks surprised at Jack.
James: "I can't believe it. I never thought I'd see the day you'd fall in love."
Jack: "It ain't such a pick nick…"
James: "I know…"
He reaches for a string hanging from his neck and reveals a ring.
James: "T'was yer mother's wedding ring. I want you to have it."
Jack looks at the small gold ring. Then he looks to the Cabin. He stands up and goes in.
BLACK ROSE CABIN
The light is fading and moonlight starts shining in through the windows. Jack approaches Elizabeth, she roles over and looks at him. HE looks worried at Tia Dalma.
Tia: "Fever from the long walk, she'll be fine."
Jack sits down on the bed next to her and places his hand on her stomach, then he caresses her face and kisses her gently. Tia Dalma stands up and walks out.
Jack: "Elizabeth…"
Elizabeth: "Jack..."
He kisses her again.
He clutches the ring in his hand.
Jack: "Lizzie, please, go back to the swamp with Tia, I don't want you fighting the Company with us."
Elizabeth: "But Jack…"
Jack looks at her sharply but sweetly.
Elizabeth: "aye…"
He kisses her forehead and Norrington walks in.
Norrington: "I knew something was going on here…"
Jack: "What?!"
Elizabeth: "Tia Dalma had to leave for a while, and Jack was kind enough to keep me company."
Norrington: "He's been doing that quite a lot lately hasn't he?"
Elizabeth: "James, please leave…"
Norrington: "I'm not going to leave you here with him…!"
Jack: "Fine…"
He stands up.
Jack: "I'll go too."
He looks at Elizabeth.
Jack: "Rest…"
He walks out and Norrington follows.
They looks furiously at each other they both clasp their swords.
Marty: "Sail ho…"
They release their swords.
Jack: "Gibbs, where be Tia?"
Tia: "Here…"
Jack: "Ha, bring her."
They all board the pearl.
BLACK PEARL DECK
Tia Helps Elizabeth into the cabin and lays her down.
Will walks in with them. Tia comes out.
Jack: "You left her with him?"
Tia: "Jack…she needs to eat…she's too thin it's killing her."
Jack looks to the cabin.
Jack: "Aright, we'll sail to the swamp, leave her with you, then we'll join the others and fight."
Tia: "If anything happens…I'll send word."
Jack: "How…"
Tia: "Don't worry…"
Jack moves away. Bootstrap looks up at him from the cargo hole.
Bootstrap: "Jack, could you call my son please?"
BLACK PEARL CABIN
Jack walks into the cabin. Will is whipping Elizabeth's forehead with a moist cloth. She looks at Jack and tries to sit up but she's too sick.
Jack: "sh…rest. Will, yer father's clalin' ye…"
Will leaves. Jack waits until the door closes. Then turns to Elizabeth.
Jack: "Elizabeth, we're going to the swamp. You're to stay there until yer better."
Elizabeth: "What about you?"
Jack: I'm coming back to fight…"
Elizabeth: "No, don't leave me…"
Jack: "Tia will warn me if anything happens…"
He hisses her passionately then starts to walk away. She tries to hold on to his hand but it slips away,
Elizabeth: "Jack, don't leave me…"
Jack(whispers): "Never…"
As he's about to leave he clasps the ring in his pocket. He looks back at Elizabeth.
BLACK PEARL DECK
Jack walks to the back of the ship and yells to his father.
Jack: "James, complications arose, we're goin' to make an unscheduled stop. You lead the rest to fight."
Tia approaches him and hands him a compass. Jack throws it at his father.
James: "What's this?"
Jack: "Follow it; it'll point you in the right direction."
He runs up to the helm.
Jack: "Mr Gibbs, Will, head back to the swamp."
Will: "what?"
Jack: "She won't survive if she stays on the ship."
Gov. Swann hears this and walks towards them.
Swann: "Will and I will stay with her."
Tia approaches.
Tia: "No, there's no need. Yer a better use fighting' here then getting' in my way. She'll be fine."
Will runs down to the cabin.
TIA DALMA'S SHACK (inside)
Marty, Cotton, Will, Norrington, Gibbs, Bootstrap and Gov. Swann are all gathered around the bed where Elizabeth is lying. Jack is in a corner looking out the window. Tia approaches with a potion in her hand and makes Elizabeth drink it. She slowly becomes conscious again. She looks around confused.
Elizabeth: "Where am I?"
Will: "You're in Tia Dalma's shack."
Gibbs: "Ye had us worried there Miss Swann."
Jack approaches, Gibbs steps aside to let him through.
Elizabeth: "Jack, I want to go."
Jack: "Yer better off staying here."
Swann: "Much as it pains me to say it, he's right."
Jack looks at the Governor shocked.
Tia: "Ye best be getting off…"
They all move away. Will kisses Elizabeth Gently and walks out with them. Swann looks at Tia begging to stay.
Tia: "Go…"
Swann looks at his daughter and turns and leaves. Jack is left looking at her.
Tia: "Jack…"
Jack: "I'll be right there…"
Jack kneels next to Elizabeth's bed and takes out the ring. He puts it on her finger. Tia looks down and walks to the back room.
Norrington (unseen): "Sparrow!"
Jack: "Be right there!"
He looks intensely at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth: "Jack, please don't leave me here…"
Jack: "I will never leave you, he slips the ring onto her finger. It was my mother's, my father kept it all these years as a symbol of their undying love. I'll fight the company, kill Beckett's men then return here to marry you."
He Kisses her passionately, places a hand on her stomach and leaves. Tia meets him at the door.
Tia: "Jack, it'll be fine…"
Jack: "Send word to me if anything…"
He looks at Elizabeth
Jack: "anything should happen."
Tia: "Go, and good luck"
Jack joins the last long boat and they row off.
Tia Walks back to Elizabeth's bed side and makes her drink another potion. Elizabeth's crying.
Tia: "What be the trouble my child?"
Elizabeth: ""I'm Scared…"
Tia: "I s'pose that be normal. Yer to have the child of and affair wiv a pirate. Of course ye be sacred"
Elizabeth: "How would you know?"
Tia: "I know, lets leave it at that."
Tia walks away, Elizabeth roles over and falls asleep.
ROW BOAT.
Swann: "I don't think we should have left her here…I don't think its safe…
He shakes a spider off his arm.
Swann: "…or clean."
Jack: "Tia Dalma is the best, if ye want Elizabeth to live, ye'll trust Tia."
Will: "Why do you care so much?"
Jack: "Elizabeth is young but one for the best Pirates I've ever seen…"
Swann: "You take that back."
Jack ignores him.
Jack: "it would be a terrible loss."
The other pirates nod. Jack looks at the disappearing lights of the Tia's shack.
BLACK PEARL DECK
Bootstrap (sarcastically): "No problems I hope….Lord Beckett…"
He looks down to the Cargo Hole.
Bootstrap: "Beckett…? Jack!"
Jack runs over.
Bootstrap: "He's gone…"
Jack: "What?!"
He looks to the Horizon, sails can be seen disappearing in the mist of night.
Jack: "BUGGER!!"
He storms into his cabin and slams the door. Marty approaches Gibbs.
Marty: "Have ye noticed the captain's recent mood swings?"
Gibbs: "aye…"
He looks out to the horizon. Then to a map that is by his side.
Gibbs: "I probably shouldn't say nothin…"
He looks at Gov. Swann and Norrington they're busy playing cards. Bootstrap is in the cargo hole asleep. Will is sharpening his sward on the other side of the ship.
Gibbs: "Miss. Swann's illness…not quite…"
Marty: "What?"
Gibbs: "She's with child."
Marty: "well that Turner fellow finally…"
Gibbs: "No…not turner."
Marty: "Who then…?"
Gibbs: "Jack…"
Marty faces forwards and looks stunned.
Will suddenly looks up.
Will: "Gibbs…how long until we reach the other ships?"
Gibbs: "'bout a month…"
Will: "That means two until we're back…"
Gibbs: "May be more, I think you're under estimating the scale of the battle awaiting us. From what I Gather there's been nothing like it in history of Piracy."
Will looks at him slightly worried.
Will: "Governor…I wish to marry your daughter soon as we get back. I fear we've waited too long, it seems she may be loosing interest in me…"
Jack appears at the helm, they all look at him.
Will: "…and here's the reason why."
Swann: "Jack?"
Jack hears him.
Jack: "Ye talkin' about me eunuch?"
Will turns away from him.
Swann: "Of course William, as soon as we get back to Port Royal I'll arrange the ceremony."
Jack: "Ceremony?"
Norrington (smirks): "The marriage."
Jack: "ho….yes."
Gibbs looks at Marty they nod. Jack looks at all of them than moves back down to the Deck and looks out the side of the ship. Norrington approaches. Will and the Governor stay at the helm talking.
Norrington: "I understand you ye know?"
Jack: "I never thought I'd see the day…"
Norrington: "Yea well…you know as well as I do that she shouldn't be with Turner."
Jack: "ho, and who should she be with? (disgusted) You."
Norrington: "I'd at least make a decent husband. I'd have waited."
Jack: "What?!"
Norrington: "Is every man on this ship completely blind? Elizabeth isn't sick, she's with Child. And if the Governor wasn't so for their marriage I'd kill Turner right now."
Jack: "ho, really….right. well, good."
He moves to the helm nervously. Norrington looks after him curiously.
Jack: "Mr. Gibbs, double speed. "
Gibbs: "Capn'?"
Jack: "Get me there fast. I need to get back."
Gibbs: "Aye Capn'"
Jack looks at the governor, nods and goes back to his cabin. He starts to chart a course but his compass spins behind him.
Jack: "damn…"
