"Crew passage. Crew passage." Rose mumbled. She found it and the hallway. She ran down one side and then the other. She began to yell for Jack. "Jack! Jack!"

In one of the rooms, water came in as fast as possible. Jack saw this. Unfortunately, he was handcuffed to some pipes. He looked towards the closed door. "Oh shit. Oh shit." Jack said, climbing onto the pipes, trying to get the cuffs off. "Come on." He groaned in agony and paid. "Help!" He yelled. Then he heard her.

"Jack!" Rose was on the opposite of the hallway that Jack was down. "Rose! Rose I'm in here!" She heard. She then heard the banging of handcuffs. "Rose!" Rose ran through the water which was right above her knees. "Jack! Jack. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She said, running to the man and kissing him. "That guy, Lovejoy put it in my pocket." They shared a few more kisses. "I know I know I know." Rose replied. "Now I need you to find a key. Check in that cabinet over there." Jack pointed to the cabinet. "It's small silver one." Jack mentioned. Rose went through each key, neither being the one. "These are all brass ones." Rose looked at Jack with fear. "Try the desk." Rose took one of the drawers out and searched it. "How'd you find out I didn't do it?" Jack asked suddenly. "I didn't. I realized I already knew." Rose laughed a little. "Keep looking." Rose heeded his word.

Back up where the lifeboats were, Murdoch and the other officers were trying to keep people at bay. Gunshot went off. "This whole thing is falling apart." Cal stated to Lovejoy. "Find you a boat. I'll find her." Lovejoy looked. "Stay with this one. Murdoch seems to be reasonable." Cal nodded. He followed Murdoch and gave him a bribe. Something Murdoch thought he'd never accept but it was a good chunk of cash Cal gave him. Cal made his way back to his suite. Lovejoy was there. Cal had the best idea ever. "I make my own money." He said, retrieving the diamond necklace. "So do I." Lovejoy stated, showing his hand gun. It was complete silver.

"There's no key." Rose said frantically. "Listen, you're gonna have to go find some help." Rose nodded. She went to him and gave him a quick kiss. "I'll be right back." Jack nodded. "I'll just...Wait right here!" Jack yelled as rose made her way down the hall and up the stairs to D Deck.

Rose ran around the halls. She found a foreign man who's Howe's no interest in helping her. "Hello?" The lights went out for a second. Rose rested against the wall, regaining her composure. It was absolutely scary for her. For Lily as well. The lights came back on and rose heard footsteps. "Hello?" "Oh miss you shouldn't be here." "Wait there's a man down there and he needs your help." Rose frantically said. "There's no need to panic." The man said. "I'm not panicking. You're going the wrong way! Let go of me! LISTEN!" Rose finally stood her ground. She punched the man and his nose instantly bled. "To hell with you." He said before running off. The lights went out once again. This was serious business. They came back on and Rose was faced with an ax but no way of getting it. Then she saw the water hose. She took the hose and broke the glass, removing the ax. She made her way back to E Deck. She discovered E Deck was flooded. She had to ditched her overcoat and use the ax to keep her above the water.

"Will this work?" Rose asked as she entered the room. "We'll find out." Jack said. Rose lifted the ax. "Wait. Do a couple of practice swings over there." Rose did and Jack thought she was ready. "Rose I trust you." Jack wasn't talking to just Rose. He was talking to Lily. Getting to know her was amazing. In one swift swing, the cuffs broke in half. Both screamed for joy. "Come on." Jack said, jumping in the cold water. "Oh shit this is cold. Oh shit. Oh shit."

"Any more men?!? Any more men?" Murdoch asked. Cal turned to look. After just being told Rose was waiting for a boat with Jack by her side, it made Cal want to go to the woman. Cal looked into Murdoch's eyes and sighed. He chose to go to Rose.

"No, Daddy." A girl cried. "Don't worry. This boat boat is for mommies and the children. There'll be another one for daddies. Just go with mommy and be a good little girl." An officer helped the children into the boat. "Daddy, get in the boat." One whimpered. "It's goodbye for a little while. Only a little while." Rose turned to Jack. "I'm not leaving." She protested. "You are. Now get in the boat." "No, not without you." "Yes, Rose." Jack said. "Yes, Rose get in the boat. Besides it's almost full." Cal stated, scaring Rose half to death. "Look at you. You look a fright." He stated. "You must be freezing. Here." Cal said, shoving the blanket to Jack that an Irish woman gave Rose. Cal shoved his overcoat onto Rose. The same overcoat he stuffed the diamond necklace in. Lily began seeing something but couldn't make out what it was. "Step abroad Miss. Step lively." Rose got onto the boat. Her heart began sinking. Just before she got onto the boat, Cal mentioned a boat being held for him. Said him and jack could get on safely. That was a lie. Both Rose and Jack knew it. "Lower away!" The crewmen began lowering the boat. Time was slowing still once again for Lily. For Rose, it felt like her life ended. "There's uh, there's no boat, is there?" Jack asked. "There is. Not that you'd benifit much from it. I always win Jack. One way or another." Rose watched as the two men conversed. Rose saw the look in Jacks eyes. A distress rocket went into the air. Rose watched the man and the sparks fly. Once the boat got level with B Deck, the woman jumped. "Rose!" "Stop her! You stop her!" Cal indicating to the other. Jack took off running Rose ran. Meeting at the B Deck staircase. Rose let out a cry. They shared multiple kisses before saying they'll think of a plan.
