Barbossa: I must admit, Jack. I thought I had you figured. But turns out, you're a hard man to predict.

Jack: Me? I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly! It's the honest ones you want to watch out for. Because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly....stupid.

Jack looks at Blue and slightly nods his head, Blue does the same and watches Jack move near a pirate, while examining some of the treasure.

In one quick move, Jack pulls the sword from the pirate's scabbard, kicks him into the water and flips the sword up to Will. Despite his surprise, Will catches it behind his back, his hands still bound, and knocks the pirate guarding him into the water.

Jack pulls out his own sword, and Blue does the same. Barbossa looks from Jack to Will to Blue, not quite registering what is taking place. He scrambles to his feet, pulls out his sword and squares off.

Jacoby slashes at Will, who turns and parries so that his hands are freed by the cut. The other two pirates attack Will, and he fights back. Will was prepared to hold off three pirates, but then Blue jumps in with his sword.

Blue: Mind if I cut in?

Will: A two on three fight? What are the odds?

Blue: Us winning? Very high.

Jacoby: That's a bloody lie!

Blue and Will work together to face off against the three pirates while Jack and Barbossa duel furiously, they cross swords and come face to face.

Barbossa: You're off the edge of the map, mate. Here there be monsters!

The scene changes to Elizabeth, she jumps from the tiny rowboat to the Black Pearl. She climbs up towards the gun port and could hear voices.

Two Pirates, Mallot and Grapple, had set out a feast: wine and rum, jerky, cakes, apples, biscuits. Elizabeth continues to climb up.

Mallot: What would you pick to eat first? We should decide now, so we're ready, when the time comes.

Grapple: I was thinking....cake.

Mallot: I was thinking cake too.

The two stare at each other, with Grapple slamming a knife into the table between them, his hand going skeletal in the moonlight. It was a tense moment, then Grapple leans the handle of the knife toward Mallot.

Grapple: You cut, I choose.

Mallot gives a single sharp nod, Elizabeth climbs past as Mallot reaches for the knife.

Elizabeth climbs over the gunwale and sneaks along the deck. Suddenly, the skeletal monkey drops down and starts screeching, Elizabeth is startled, but is mostly annoyed. Back on the Gun Deck, Mallot & Grapple were still focused on their mock feast.

Then the Monkey screeches as it drops onto a cannon with a clang. The monkey remains on the barrel of the cannon for a moment.

Grapple: What was that?

They turn and look out the gun port to find the dazed monkey sitting on the cannon, then it slides off and plummets down to the water. A splash follows as Elizabeth looks over gunwale, two pirate heads stick out, looking down at the splash.

They turn to look up, but she is gone from view. The pirates draw back inside to give chase as Elizabeth races down stairs and hides.

The Pirates race past and head up to the deck, Jack's crew were locked up, waiting in the dark. Gibbs tilts his head as he hears a noise.
