Once on the island, Liz, Will and Gibbs discover Tia sitting calmly under a palm tree, drinking rum. The sirens are all sitting around her, filmed at clever angles so even though they are naked nothing is showing.
Tia: get back on da boat.
Liz: What about you? We got wet coming to get you.
Tia: I'll be meetin ya again when ye find Jack.
Liz: (frantically) but how are we supposed to find Jack without you???
Tia: (grins and hands Liz the compass. Will looks pissed off.)
Gibbs: What are we supposed to do with the greek sailors aboard the ship?
Tia: Take em with ya of course...
Back on the ship:
Liz, Gibbs and the greeks are having a private huddle. Will is standing outside, trying to listen in.
Liz: This mission is just too dangerous for the whole crew. If the rumors we have heard of the impending doom of the EITC are true, we should spare some of us to try and fight them, should they arrive.
Gibbs: But without Jack, we haven't a hope of defeating them anyway.
the greeks: well here's an idea. Why dont we send out a few messengers to round up all the other pirates, to be ready to fight? We could all meet in SIngapore. Thats the place the eitc will least expect.
Liz: good idea! You guys go round up everyone you know.
the greeks: (smiling mysteriously) actually, there is a pirate council coming up. this will be the perfect time to share the news...
ALl the greeks head out in seperate long boats. The rest of the crew boards the big ship. Liz, Gibbs, and Will board the smaller ship. Liz takes the helm, holding the compass.
Will walks up behind Liz and stares at the compass.
Will: So he is what you want?
Liz: How do you know that?
Will: the compass is guiding you to him.
Liz: Perhaps its just guiding me to the pearl so we can rescue your father.
Will: I doubt that.
Liz: Will, ever since we met I've trusted you. You've been my friend... and someone who has always loved me. Technically speaking, it was I who found you first. I saved your life.
Will: Yes, and broke my heart.
Liz: Will please. (kisses him gently) If i still mean anything to you, I need you to trust me. To forgive me. We're on a mission right now--- one you agreed to. We have to save Jack and the Pearl. We never will if you stay angry at me.
Will: (pulling away) I'm not angry. I'm in pain.
Liz: Put it aside. I'm in pain too.
Will: And then what? When this is all over, watch that man sail away with the girl I've loved my whole life?
Liz: (tearfully) I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen.
Will: I love you, Elizabeth... (Liz covers his mouth gently with her hand)
Liz: I know. Stop making this so hard.
She runs off to the cabin. Will gazes after her, tragically. Slowly he brings his hand up to his heart, pressing it as though it hurts. He closes his eyes and remembers Tia's story: "But the pain it cause him was not worth the small, fleeting joy life brings, and so, him carved out him heart, lock it down in a chest... and hide it from de world."
This is my genie out of the bottle so to speak...Tia Dalma had rescued Jack once before and found out that he is the son of the Governor of Singapore and the grandson of a very wealthy, titled nobleman in England who is also a good friend and advisor to the King...Jack's family can be traced back to being one of the original financeer's of the East India Company...Jack being the middle son always manages to get into scrapes and alot of trouble...his father is always exasperated by him and finally gives up on Jack in a fit of fury...Jack walks to the docks in England and hops aboard a ship as a stowaway...When Jack's grandfather tries to find Jack over a period of years he finally winds up blameing Jack's father and disinheriting him...But, Jack's father is already the governor of Singapore and as a result of the disinheritance the East India Company removes Jack's father as governor...being dejected he walks to the docks and is pressganged onto a ship leaving Singapore with a Chinese pirate Seo Feng...Jack's grandfather hears tales over a 13 year period about a pirate named Jack Sparrow...Sparrow was the nickname he had given Jack because he was always so quick in movement and thought...The grand father decides to go to the Caribbean to find Jack and his ship is destroyed in the hurricane that Norrington was in chasing Jack...Now, Jack has a title, and wealth that is greater than Lizzie's heritage...but, where oh where is Jack...Tia Dalma is really the sea siren Calypso and was always in love with Jack and that is why she refused Davy Jones...she will always be in love with Jack, but she is a sea siren and he is a mortal, so they can never consumate a real relationship...she will always be his champion and that is why Jack hated to go see her and ask for her help...he hates to admit he needs help and is also afraid she will realize he is in love with Elizabeth...well, she figures it out when she sees him and asks him about it and Jack tries to brush it off...more later
