BLACK ROSE DECK
Charlie starts to cry in Jane's Arms and Murtogg takes him into the cabin. Elizabeth holds James tightly. Jack is still standing next to Jane. She looks angrily at him, tears streaming from her eyes.
Jane: "Why did you stop me?"
Jack: "He was dead, there was no point leaving yer child parentless."
Jane tries to hit him but starts crying and leans her head on him. He looks helplessly at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth: "He's right Jane…"
A tear trickling down her cheek. Jack takes the baby and puts him in the cabin leaving the two women crying. When he comes out Swann approaches him.
Swann: "You coward, you could have done something!"
Jack: "Like what?! He was gone; there was nothing I could do."
Swann: "You could have brought him aboard. The witch would have saved him."
Tia Dalma passes by and hears them.
Tia: "There is only so much I can do, Governor. Jack's right, there wasn't anything I could do for young Capn' Kings. By the time I got to him, he'd long have been dead."
Swann storms away from them and goes to comfort Elizabeth. He looks at Jane and suddenly feels sorry for her. She sees him looking and bows her head.
Jane: "My Lord…"
Swann: "enough of that, you've suffered a great loss, I'm sorry, he was a great man."
Elizabeth suddenly looks up at Jack
Elizabeth: "Jack..."
Jack: "Luv…"
Elizabeth: "Couldn't we get him back?"
Jack: "Well…"
Tia: "We could, but see, I fear with William in charge, the locker has become…well. Inaccessible… the only way would be to get him from the crew…"
Elizabeth: "But it would be possible…"
Tia: "aye…if he chooses to Join the crew."
Jack: "I think if Beckett recognizes him, he wont have a choice."
Elizabeth looks to Jack.
Jack frowns at her.
Jack: "Alright…"
He reaches for where his compass should have been. It's not there.
Jack: "Damn…"
Elizabeth; "What is it?"
Jack: "The compass, Kings had it…"
Tia: "No compass, no heading…"
Elizabeth looks helplessly at Jane. Jack stands closer to her and puts a hand around her waist.
Jack: "I'm sorry…"
Gov. Swann leads Jane bellow deck. And Jack leads Elizabeth to the cabin.
BLACK ROSE CABIN
Elizabeth sits on the bed and wipes her tears. Jack takes baby James form her and puts him in his cot, he sits down next to Elizabeth and puts an arm around her.
Jack: "I'm sorry, he was a good guy, a soldier, yes, but a good guy."
Elizabeth: "It's just not fair…"
Jack strokes her face and she looks at him.
Elizabeth: "Charlie will never know his father…"
She looks at James.
Elizabeth: "…James is only two months old…I don't want the same to happen to him…"
Jack kisses her forehead gently.
Jack: "It won't…"
FLYING DUTCHMAN DECK
Will and Beckett are at the helm talking to each other. Suddenly Barbosa approaches.
Barbosa: "Capn'…"
Will motions for Beckett to leave.
Will: "What is it?"
Barbosa: "New arrival…"
He points down to the deck where Kings is being held down on his knees by Sao Feng.
Will runs down and faces him.
Will: "I know you…you were one of the Company's men who fought Sparrow and the others…funny…"
He looks at his haggard clothes.
Will: "You look more like a pirate then anything else…"
Kings: "That's because I am…"
Will: "Disgraceful, a sailor, a captain…why would you throw your life away?"
Kings: "funny, I was going to ask you the same thing, Captain Turner."
Will: "How do you know my name?"
Kings: "What's it to you?"
Will turns to Sao.
Will: "Lock him in the brig…"
Sao drags Kings bellow deck and throws him in a cell with Norrington and James. Beckett approaches Will.
Beckett: "That there is Captain Kings, he grew up under the protection of Governor Swann…"
Will: "Did he now?"
He smiles and walks away.
BLACK ROSE BRIG
Norrington: "George?! What are you doing here?"
Kings looks mockingly at him.
Kings: "Same as you…"
Norrington: "Why did you choose this?"
Kings: "I didn't choose anything…"
Norrington: "What?"
Kings: "Suppose he didn't like me for turning pirate…"
He spots James.
Kings: "You…"
James: "Yea…me…I know, I know…Rotten Pirate…Murderer…Disgrace…I've heard it all…"
Kings: "Well, yes…I was just going to tell you something…"
James: "Tell me…?"
Kings: "Yes…On the Rose…"
Norrington: "Elizabeth…do you know anything of her? Did she have the child?"
Kings looks at him.
Kings: "How do you know of the child?"
Norrington: "Well, last time I saw her she was obviously with child… I feel sorry for it, being born the child of such a monster…"
James: "What?!"
Norrington: "Turner…She was carrying his child…"
Kings: "No, she was carrying…"
James: "Jack's child…"
Norrington looks about to have an attack…
Norrington: "Jack's…what, how…."
Kings and James look mockingly at him.
Kings: "That's what I was going to tell you, you have a beautiful grandson…"
James: "Grandson…what's his name?"
Kings: "James…"
James: "James…My son actually did love me…"
Norrington still looks shocked.
Norrington: "But…Sparrow…how? I mean, I knew Jack wanted her…but, she'd never…"
James: "What do you think caused the fool to carve out his own heart?"
Norrington: "Well, I never thought about it that way"
James: "How is he…Jack…?"
Kings: "He's fine, never seen anyone love a child so much, it's surprising actually…"
Norrington: "is she happy?"
Kings: "She is…the governor is far from it though…"
James: "Ha…I'll bet he is."
Kings looks around the tiny cell…
Kings: "What are we going to do about this?"
James: "Not much we can…"
Norrington: "Sparrow…"
James: "Aye…"
Norrington: "Ye know what Turner said, about bringing Elizabeth and James 'to us'…do you think he'd…"
James: "He probably would…"
Kings: "Then we must do something…I don't want Elizabeth to suffer…"
Norrington: "Not you too…"
Kings: "Oh, no…we grew up together she's like a sister to me, that's all…"
