My name's Lucy.

I'm your daughter.

It's like your book.

You just don't remember

because you're cursed.

Lucy, it's not a curse!

How do you know that?

I know because I had

a family, okay?

And I lost them.

Cinderella: Do the Prince and I

live happily ever after?

Henry: There's usually

a complication before that.

Thanks for the lesson.

Lady Tremaine: That girl

killed the Prince!

Henry: Take my bike and wait

for me where we first met.

away, we've been writing letters

Wasn't sure what was appropriate

Right, 'cause the key to

bringing down Victoria Belfrey

Much appreciated, mate.

And you'll excuse Roni --

Yeah, well, you're new

Just give it time.

You brought us together because

you said you had something.

Yes.

Last night,

I had a customer

who works

for the building commission.

Got pretty drunk.

Started spouting off

about how he was going to make

some real money

off Belfrey.

She needed him

to do her a favor.

Heard him say that they were

meeting this afternoon

in Hyperion Plaza,

across from Belfrey Towers.

this is good.

This is really good.

I-I mean, it's...bad.

It's a good story.

It's a bad...thing.

Well said.

Thank you.

I'll go

If I can get to the guy,

maybe I can get him to give us

info on everything Belfrey has

her dirty little hands on.

Like your

missing-girl case?

-Aye, luv.

-A stakeout, huh?

That sounds...

pretty cool.

Always kind of wondered

what one of those was like.

Mind if I, uh,

tag along with you?

Sorry, mate. I think

I'll be less conspicuous alone.

Why don't you stick to

your expertise

and try and do

a little research?

Figure out

So, I'm research guy.

she's been transporting magic

from the king's vault

dark fairy dust,

enchanted weapons.

It's like she's preparing

And then, last night,

this was brought in.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Good work.

I'll take it from here.

Come into the light

so that I can see you.

[ Sighs ]

I said,

"Come into the light."

It's been a long time

since you visited me

in the tip top

of your tower.

What's the matter?

Plans gone awry?

Quite the contrary.

I did some digging today.

Cinderella and her friends

tried to stop me,

but once they succeeded,

it was too late.

And what makes you think

I'd be interested in some thing

that you dug up

out of the ground?

Because I didn't

dig up some thing.

I dug up someone.

♪♪

My darling, sweet girl.

[ Exhales sharply ]

You found her.

Yes.

And now

you can finally help...

bring her back.

And are you ready

for what that means?

Nothing frightens me.

Oh, but it should.

It most certainly should.

And the boy believes?

No.

But his daughter,

Lucy...

Her heart's

protected, too.

I don't need

to steal her heart.

She needs to surrender

her belief -- willingly.

Yes, yes, by destroying

everything she cares about.

And now you want my help.

Alas, I'm afraid

you're on your own.

[ Inhales deeply ]

Don't you forget...

you're my prisoner.

Really?

Because the way

I see it is that

we're both shackled

in our own way.

And the question is,

who is the actual prisoner --

and to whom?

This was...a courtesy --

a peace offering.

Consider it rescinded.

You may destroy the girl.

You may take everything

she cares about.

You may get

your daughter back.

But...

...then you'll have to

deal with me.
