Jack and Cortés enter into a pact to kill each other. Jack says he doesn't want his friends to die, but he also says that he's locked himself away in prison because of his own actions. He's not going to let them die because of him, he says. Jack tries to make him feel bad for his friends, but Jack won't listen. He says he'll drag him back to his grave. Jack tells him to be careful with the sword, because it wasn't a magical sword, but a cursed one.
