ROSE ISLAND PORT (morning)
The sun is high in the sky and the group of pirates is gathered near the Rose.
Jack: "Who's with me?"
Gibbs, Cotton, Marty, James, Pintel and Ragetti, Tia and Bootstrap move forwards to stand next to him and Elizabeth – Jack is holding James in one arm, Andrew is standing next to him and Elizabeth is holding Lydia -
Kings: "We'd like to stay if its all the same to you…Charlie will have a better life here, and with a second child coming, so will we…"
Jack: "Right…good luck Lieutenant…"
He shakes his hand
Norrington: "I'd like to stay too…I've no desire to loose my commission…again…"
Jack smiles.
Jack: "understood…"
He shakes his hand.
Murtogg: "And we've just made Captains…"
Mullroy: "I made Captain, you made first mate…"
They start arguing.
Jack: "Yes well…right…"
Swann: "And, well being Governor, the town really needs me…"
Jack: "So does the maid…"
He shakes Swann's hand. Swann tries to hide a smile.
Elizabeth: "We'll miss you…but we'll be back in some time…"
Swann, Jane and Kings hug Elizabeth, followed by Norrington.
Jack: "Hem…Commodore…Not really rooting for you anymore, mate…"
Norrington smiles and steps back as the group moves aboard the Rose.
BLACK ROSE DECK
Pintel, Ragetti, Marty and Cotton are tugging ropes and fixing the sails as the ship moves out of the harbour. Jack is up on the helm. Andrew is playing around with the wheel and Elizabeth is standing next to Jack. Bellow deck, James and Bootstrap are engaged in another card game, and Tia Dalma is at the front of the ship doing some kind of magic.
Elizabeth: "Where too Captain?"
Jack: "World's End…"
Elizabeth: "What?"
Jack: "Gotta get the Pearl back love…I'm…"
Elizabeth: "Captain Jack Sparrow…yes I know…"
She kisses him passionately and as the ship moves further away, suddenly a baby starts crying and they pull apart, she goes bellow to the cabin to tend to Lydia. Jack is left at the helm of the ship alone starting at the horizon. He looks at his compass and smirks looking up to the horizon. As the siluett of Captain Jack Sparrow moves in to the distance, a ship can be seen shooting cannon balls at the Flying Dutchman which is gradually sinking near the port where the pirates who remained behind look at their captain as his siluett disappears. Next to it, the Fury sways in the gentle waves.
