TIA DALMA'S SHACK (inside)

Jack moves to Elizabeth's bed and lies down next to her, she snuggles into him.

Elizabeth (sleepily): "I love you Jack Sparrow"

Jack stares at the ceiling looking scared in the moonlight.

BLACK PEARL (morning)

Jack emerges on to the ship from a long boat, he helps Elizabeth on board and Tia Dalma follows.

Will walks to Elizabeth and kisses her. Jack looks away.

Will: "Elizabeth…are you alright?"

Jack cuts in to stop a second kiss.

Jack: "Miss Swann, I suggest ye take some more rest, I don't want yer…er…disease spreadin' to the crew."

Jack looks after her as Will leads her into the Cabin.

Gibbs: "Capn'?"

Jack doesn't take his eyes off Elizabeth as she moves into the cabin with Will.

Jack: "Mr Gibbs…get a heading from Tia Dalma and find me the Dutchman…go man"

Gibbs moves away obviously knowing something is wrong. Jack walks towards the cabin.

Will is leaning over Elizabeth looking after her.

Jack: "Mr Turner, I don't want any more of my men being sick, go and help Gibbs navigate…now"

Will kisses Elizabeth's forehead and leaves. But stops by the door, Jack doesn't see him.

Jack: "Lizzie…"

He sits down on the bed next to her.

Jack: "…I'm getting' very tired of him."

Elizabeth: "Jack…."

Will walks away, his face slightly disturbed.

Elizabeth: "…It's going to be a tough eight months…I…"

Jack: "Lizzie, I want you to know that I'm here for you, what ever you need."

Elizabeth leans forward and kisses Jack passionately.

Jack: "I have to go now, rest, you look tired."

He leaves the room and Elizabeth watches as he goes, places one hand on her stomach and sighs.

BLACK PEARL (night)

Jack: "ha, Tia Dalma, I see ye've located the Dutchman, good work."

Tia Nods

Tia: "It's be a few days out, best get ready. I happen to think that our prisoner would be useful to us in fighting."

Jack looks uncertain but nods"

Tia (whispers): "Jack, Will is going to find out."

Jack sighs and nods.

Jack: "I know."

Tia: "Maybe ye should just tell him."

Jack: "when the opportune time comes"

He walks to the helm, Tia looks after him.

BLACK PEARL (night, two days later)

Swann: "Elizabeth, you look ill we should find a settlement and get you treated"

Elizabeth: "I'm fine father, have you seen Jack?"

Swann: "No, why?"

Elizabeth: "Just wondering."

Swann: "But Will is up at the helm."

Elizabeth spots Jack

Elizabeth (distracted): "Ho, yes, thank you"

Gov. Swann looks after her as she walks towards Jack. He sees her coming and looks around nervously.

Jack: "Elizabeth, good to see you on yer feet again…"

Gibbs: "Sail ho…."

Jack's face cringes. He looks at Elizabeth then down to her stomach.

Elizabeth: "Jack, what's wrong?"

Jack: "…hide"

Within a few minutes, everyone on the pearl is armed, and the Flying Dutchman is within only a few yards.

FLYING DUTCHMAN (deck)

Jones: "Jack Sparrow…how on earth did ye escape my locker?"

Jack looks at Barbosa who had been released but was severely guarded by Pintel and Ragetti, he sighs.

Jack: "Barbosa, care to explain to him? No…well…you see….I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, Savvy?"

Jones: "Where is it?"

Jack removes the heart from his pocket, gets his pistol, cocks it and aims at the heart. Everyone aboard the Dutchman freezes.

Jack: "What this?"

Jones: "No"

Jack: "Yes, see…we misplaced it for a few months, but now we have it back, so first things first…."

A shudder is felt aboard the pearl, the heart falls from Jack's hand. Instants later all the Dutchman's crew are aboard the Pearl. Jones clasping his heart in his hand. Elizabeth comes out of her cabin and sees Jones clutching Jack's neck in his claw.

Elizabeth: "Jack…!"

Jones: "Jack…ye don't want to mess with me, we had a deal. I kept my end, now ye keep yers."

Tia Dalma appears from bellow deck.

Jones freezes and his heart shrivel up slightly.

Jones: "No!"

Tia: "Davy…"

Jones' claw releases and Jack crawls back where he's met by Elizabeth.

Elizabeth (whispering): "Are you alright?"

Jack stands up and unsheathes his sword. He points it at a distracted Jones who is looking at Tia.

DMC1: "Capn?"

Jones notices Jack's sword to his throat but just pushes it aside and walks towards Tia. Everyone stares, Jack looks confused.

Tia: "Long time no see"

He pauses a few feet from her and notices everyone staring at him.

Jones: "Grab them!"

The Dutchman's crew grab all the Pearl crew.

DMC2: "What do we do with them captain?"

He tightens his hold on Elizabeth. Jack, Will and Swann try to get free. After a while Jack manages to reach his sword and cut his way out of the crewman's grasp. He slashes into the crew man who is holding will.

Jack: "Get her"

He moves forward and holds his sword to the back of Jones' head. Jones turns, his sword unsheathed. They start fighting, with the surprise of Jack getting lose all the other crew members get free and everyone starts fighting. Will leads Elizabeth to the Cabin and on his way back, Jack manages to cut Jones' heart from his hand and it falls, beating at will's feat.

Bootstrap: "Will!"

Will: "Father"

He runs over to his father.

Bootstrap: "What are you doing here?"

Will: "I'm here to rescue you!"

Bootstrap: "What?"

Notices the heart

Bootstrap: "No don't"

He stops will stab the heart just in time.

Will: "What? Don't you want to be free?"

Bootstrap: "If you kill Jones, then there'll be no rest for his beast"

Will looks confused; he looks at Jack who is fighting Jones on the top of the mast.

PORT ROYAL (Beckett's office)

Beckett and Norrington are in Beckett's office.

Beckett: "Commodore, any word on our ships?"

Norrington: "They're in pursuit. But no sign of them so far"

Beckett turns to mercer.

Beckett: "Find me a strong, able crew." (to Norrington) "We shall join them"

Norrington: "Sir?"

Beckett: "You heard me!"

Norrington moves away with mercer. Beckett opens a chest I which a small puddle of blood lays.
