DAMNED ISLE
The crew is gathered around Gov. Swann and the baby.
James: "where's Jack?"
Mullroy: "We thought he'd come with you…"
James: "No…he was fighting that Tuner bloke…"
Bootstrap: "Do you think he…?"
Swann: "could he be dead?"
Ragetti: "We'll go check…"
Pintel looks at him and smiles they put their hands in their pockets and tinkling of coins is heard.
Kings: "I'll go with you…"
They run off back down the hill. Ragetti I front and Pintel behind picking up all the coins that fall from Ragetti's pockets.
They finally arrive at the house and see three figures trying to drag a body away.
They run up to them and unsheathe their swords.
Pintel: "Drop him…"
Kings: "Step aside…that's and order…"
Jane: "George…please…"
Kings lowers his sword and looks puzzled at the figures. He steps closer and sees the face of his wife and child.
Kings: "Jane!!! Charlie…Elizabeth…"
Tia: "Tia Dalma…! YAY!"
Kings notices Jack. He takes off his hat and looks pitifully at Elizabeth.
Kings: "Is he…"
Elizabeth: "dead? ...no he'll be fine…"
Tia: "Not unless I get to work soon…this Maya gold don't work so well unless you actually remove it from the chest…"
Kings helps them heave Jack.
Pintel: "who comes up with these rules anyways?"
Kings: "Where are you taking him?"
Tia: "My ship…"
She points with her head to the ship.
Kings: "But everyone is up there…"
Tia looks up and sees the flames of the men's torches. She takes one hand off Jack's back causing Elizabeth and Jane to have to use more strength. She rummages in Jack's pocket and removes a small flute like instrument. She blows it and Cotton's parrot flies to her.
DAMNED ISLE
Cotton's parrot flies off his shoulder. Cotton nudges Marty.
Marty: "What? They couldn't be here…"
Swann: "Who?"
James: "Tia Dalma…"
They all stand up and start running down in the direction the bird went. Swann covers little James with his coat and follows.
When they arrive, Swann spots Elizabeth.
Swann: "Elizabeth!"
He runs up to her. She smiles broadly and takes James from him. She starts crying of happiness. Swann notices Jack's body, so does everyone else and they take off their hats.
Swann: "Elizabeth…I'm so sorry…you were right, he was a good man…"
Elizabeth: "Is…"
Swann: "What?"
Elizabeth: "He'll be fine…no time to explain though…we must go…"
Swann: "Where?"
Tia: "My ship…Governor, James, Commodore, Kings, would you help us ladies please?"
They take over hoisting Jack and they follow Elizabeth's lead back to the ship.
Tia: "Follow me ship in the Rose…"
Gibbs: "Where are we headed?"
Tia: "Why the Rose treasure of course…"
Elizabeth spins round.
Elizabeth: "We must go back to the swamp…we must save Jack…"
Tia: "I can do that on the ship…he'd want to get the treasure…"
Elizabeth looks reluctant but nods. She holds James tightly to her and continues on her way. The rest of the people follow or move in the direction of the Rose
CALYPSO'S FURY DECK
Tia Dalma, Elizabeth and Jane come onto the deck, behind them, James, Norrington and Kings emerge holding Jack's Body and Gov. Swann appears behind.
Tia: "Take him into the Cabin…I'll be right there…"
The men take Jack into the cabin and Tia goes bellow deck to get something. Elizabeth and Jane look after her and follow the men into the Cabin.
CALYPSO'S FURY CABIN
Jack is lying on the bed, all the other men are standing around, Kings is next to Jane who is sitting on a chair holding Charlie and Swann is standing next to Elizabeth, James I one arm and the other over her shoulder as she sits next to Jack. A tear falls down her cheek.
Swann: "sh…he'll be fine…"
James: "But…one thing I don't understand…how're you so well?"
Elizabeth: "Tia cured me…"
Swann: "Its been but a few days…you shouldn't be here…you should be resting, getting better…"
Elizabeth: "I'm fine…I'm not sick…I'm….I'm fine…."
She looks at Jane, with her eyes she tells Jane not to talk about the baby.
Jane nods slowly.
The door opens and Tia comes in holding some flasks. Kings looks through the door and notices they're sailing.
Kings: "If we're all in here…who's steering the ship?"
Tia: "No one…"
Jane looks up at her husband.
Jane: "Long story…I'll tell you later…"
She smiles at him.
Tia moves towards Jack and starts mixing some of the contents of the flasks. The brew starts to smoke. Elizabeth stands up coughing. Swann holds her.
Swann: "Elizabeth, you are not well…"
Elizabeth: "Im cough Fine cough"
She moves to a chair and sits on it. She takes James.
Tia finally finishes stirring the mixture and places it on the bedside table.
Tia: "Anyone have a dagger?"
All the men look down themselves. Norrington takes his and hands it to her. She takes it in one hand and with the other opens a small, carved, stone chest. Inside it are several gold coins like the one she'd given Elizabeth. She takes the knife, and grabs Jack's arm, she drives the knife in and makes a deep cut. Elizabeth goes to stand up but Tia sticks out a hand stopping her. She lets Jack's blood drip into the chest. She then stands up and walks to Elizabeth. She does the same to Elizabeth. Elizabeth gasps at the pain as Tia removes the coin from Elizabeth's boot. Swann looks from his daughter to the witch confused. Tia goes over to Jack and drains the swirling, smoking concoction into his semi-opened mouth.
Tia: "There…that should work…"
Elizabeth: "…should?!..."
Tia: "Will…will…."
She moves away
Elizabeth: "How long…until he wakes up?"
Tia: "Ah…see…could be hours…days…months…."
Elizabeth: "Months? No…he can't…"
Tia: "I know…it's out of my hands now…."
Elizabeth stands up and walks to the bed she sits next to Jack.
Everyone else leaves.
Elizabeth: "Jack…why do you do this? Why?"
She bends over and Kisses him.
BLACK ROSE DECK (morning)
Pintel and Ragetti are scrubbing the floor as Gibbs steers the ship, behind them, Calypso's Fury sails under the bright sun.
Pintel looks up at Gibbs.
Pintel: "Oi…Gibbs…we've been sailing for more then a month…how long now?"
Gibbs: "I Dunno…without Tia and Jack here, T'is hard to get a proper heading…I'm following this old map…it don't work…"
Ragetti: "Well…shouldn't we stop on land? We're all starved…"
Pintel: "Aye…and we're almost out of Rum…"
Gibbs: "True…we'll make a stop…we're three days out off a small Spanish settlement…we'll raid it…get us some food, drink…'n' girls…"
They all agree happily.
CALYPSO'S FURY DECK
Elizabeth comes out of the Cabin. She's slightly fatter. She walks up to Tia.
Elizabeth: Why did we change course?"
Tia: "I'm not sure…ships following them…"
She points at the Rose.
Elizabeth: "Well…we've been out here for over a month…when are we getting to the treasure?"
Tia: "Tis hard to say…see…the treasure is what Jack wants most…without him, its hard to get a proper heading…but we're trying…"
She looks down at Elizabeth's stomach
Tia: "And…how're we doing?"
Elizabeth: "Good…"
Tia: "T's been…"
Elizabeth: "Three or four months…"
Tia: "And…James is still very young, no…"
Elizabeth: "aye…six months…."
Tia: "T'll drive Jack crazy having two small children around…"
She smiles
Tia: "I can't wait to see the look on his face…"
Elizabeth: "Aye…"
She smiles.
Tia: "How's he been?"
Elizabeth: "Not much change…still unconscious…but he stirs…every now and then…he moves slightly…"
Tia: "Good…I suspect it won't be long now till you have your husband back…but he'll have to rest…for a long time…no piracy…no nothing…"
Swann approaches and Tia leaves.
Swann: "Ha, your better, last night you didn't look to good…was it the food?"
Elizabeth notices he's holding a bottle of rum.
Elizabeth: "Father? Rum?"
Swann: "Aye…when in Rome …"
Elizabeth: "I think we've been a bad influence on you…"
He smiles and stretches the bottle at her.
Elizabeth: "No thank you…"
He nods and walks away. He looks back to see Elizabeth with a hand on her stomach. He looks confused.
Swann: "Could it be?"
He drinks another gulp and smiles to himself. He goes bellow deck.
Elizabeth walks into the Cabin where Jack is.
