Narrator: Previously on once upon a time...

Things we haven't thought about in years

still have the ability to make us cry.

If you're here for the boy, you will not survive.

The question is how many of you I take with me.

You know what to do.

Hide it where no one can find it. Not even me.

The Ridge is just a few hundred paces up ahead.

You really think we're gonna be able to see pan's hideout?

From there, we should be able to see everything.

Including where he's keeping your son.

You know, I could have just poofed us up here in an instant.

Where? Have you any idea what's up here? Or anywhere?

There are dangers all about.

Only I can guide us past them.

He's right. Hook's lived here before.

If he says hiking up is the best way, then we listen.

Here. You need to stay hydrated.

Thanks, Mary Margaret.

You know, Mary Margaret's a bit formal.

You could call me "mom" if you want.

You've done it before.

That was back when we were...

We were about to die. Oh, no, I get it.

No. No!

I can handle a couple of thorns.

That's dreamshade.

It's not the thorns you have to worry about.

It's the poison they inject you with.

This plant is the source of the toxins I used on the dark one.

The poison that almost killed gold?

Indeed.

I used a concentrated dose.

In its natural form,

death would be much slower and far more painful.

I suggest we go this way.

We'll go this way.

Your father's a distrustful fellow.

He's just not used to working with the bad guys.

I can assure you, on this island, I am not the bad guy.

Yeah, well, pan's not supposed to be one either.

What possibly gave you that idea?

Every story I ever heard as a child.

Well, they got it wrong.

Pan is the most treacherous villain I've ever faced.

Listen, tell me something, love,

in these stories, what was I like?

Other than a villain. Handsome, I gather?

If waxed moustaches and perms are your thing.

I take it by your tone, perms are bad?

David: Up here.

We made it.

Hook: Pan's lair should bejust right...

Regina: Where?

All I see isjungle.

Aye. The dark jungle.

It's, uh, grown somewhat since I last stepped foot in neverland.

So this nature hike was for nothing?

Hook may have led us astray,

but at least we're in a good position to start combing the jungle.

Not exactly.

The dark jungle is the last place you want to set foot.

We'll have to go around it.

In order to do that, we're going to need our strength.

I suggest we make camp.

You want to sleep while my son is out there suffering?

If you want to live long enough to save the boy,

yes.

You okay?

Regina's right. Henry's out there somewhere.

And hook is right.

We have to survive if we're going to get him.

I know.

I just hope we're not too late.

After everything your father and I have been through,

there's one thing we've learned.

It is never too late.

No. No!

Open it.

Mirror: Careful!

If you drop me, I'll make sure you have 14 years bad luck.

Mirror: Your majesty.

I told you never to disturb me out here.

Trust me, I haven't disturbed you yet. Just wait until you see this.

-He woke her? 4ndeed.

True love's kiss apparently can break any curse.

Will you marry me?

What do you think?

Mirror: That'll be one hell of a wedding.

There won't be a dry eye in the entire realm.

Quiet.

Let's take back the kingdom.

We'll see about that.

The evil queen murdered my father.

Put me under a sleeping curse.

But I am not the only one she has made to suffer.

Man: Yeah.

She's terrorized us for far too long.

Crowd: Yeah!

This kingdom doesn't belong to her. It belongs to us.

All: Yeah!

So who is ready to stand beside me and fight for what's rightfully ours?

Quite the courageous army you're building.

They may be afraid of you, but we are not.

Why? Because you and the Shepherd broke my sleeping curse?

Lucky for you, I didn't come here to fight.

I came to offer you a deal.

Consider it an engagement present.

Snow, don't listen to a single word...

Are you really going to marry that?

What do you want?

I want you to give up your claim to the throne.

If you declare me the rightful ruler of this land,

I will let you, the dwarfs, and your so-called "prince"

escape back to the sheep farm he once called home.

Exile?

Well, I've tried to kill you.

I've tried to curse you. None of it's worked.

But then I realized I was going about it all wrong.

You need to be alive. You need to be awake.

So you can spend all your days knowing

that I have taken everything that was supposed to be yours.

Now get down on your knees

and swear on your father's grave that this kingdom belongs to me.

And if I don't?

Well, then someone will pay the price.

Stop!

Is she okay?

Yeah.

Next time, she won't be.

You have until sundown tomorrow to give up the throne.

And for every day that you defy me,

I will kill one of your onal subjects.

Stop denying who you are, snow white.

You may have been a Princess.

But you will never be a queen.

Guys, wake up.

Pan: You hear that, too?

You're Emma, right?

I wonder why they can't hear the crying.

Who are you?

Oh, did I forget to introduce myself? I'm Peter.

Peter Pan.

Where's Henry?

You've got fire. I like fire.

Where's my son?

Henry's still alive, if that's what you're worried about.

Why the hell did you take him?

He's a very special boy, Emma.

I know. That doesn't answer my question.

What do you want with him?

I came here to see who I was up against. The savior.

Gotta say, I'm not disappointed.

What're you gonna say now?

You're gonna tell me how I'm never gonna see Henry again?

No. I'm going to help you find him.

I'll give you a map.

A map that will lead you straight to your son.

If this is some kind of trap...

I may not be the most well-behaved boy on the island,

but I always keep my promises.

The path to finding Henry is on this parchment.

Why are you giving it to me?

See, it's not about finding Henry.

It's about how you find him.

And, Emma, you are the only one who can.

It's blank.

You'll only be able to read that map

when you stop denying who you really are.

Hook: He so likes his games.

What game? There's nothing there.

If he said there's a map on this parchment, then there is.

Great.

If I just stop denying who I really am, whatever that means,

then we'll be able to read this thing.

How do we know pan won't use it to lead us straight into a trap?

Because he doesn't need to.

This whole island is his bloody trap.

- There's no sign of him anywhere. - Any luck with the map?

- Don't hold your breath. - What's that supposed to mean?

Don't you see what he's doing?

Every second we spend talking about this,

is another second we're not looking for my son.

You got a better idea?

Magic.

If there's a lock on there, I'll find a way around it.

Pan said it had to be me.

Hook: I'd listen to Emma, love.

Breaking pan's rules would be unwise.

Sadly, I agree with the pirate.

I'm winning you over. I can feel it.

And your magic doesn't exactly have a gentle touch, Regina.

Use it on the map, it might blow up in all our faces.

- Well, that's a risk I'm willing to take. - Well, I'm not.

If I'm the one who's supposed to figure out this thing,

I need to do what pan said.

Great.

She'll get there.

Hey, don't give up.

If he's playing a game, you can win.

Snow white: We can't win. We have to leave the kingdom.

Prince charming: How can you even consider giving in to that witch?

When you're gone,

do you think she's suddenly going to stop menacing this land?

And who will protect the people then?

Did I protect them today?

I couldn't even help that poor girl.

And don't kid yourself, she isn't going to stop with the peasants.

She's going to come after the people who are closest to me.

We'll stand by your side no matter what.

Even if it means our death.

Which it probably will.

You can't let her get into your head.

She has a point. I'm no queen.

I'm no leader.

I'm just a girl who lost her parents,

ran away into the woods and became a bandit.

- You're snow white. - Yes,

and the truth is, I don't even know who that is.

But I know what I don't want to be. And that is alone.

That's never going to happen.

You're right.

If we take her offer, we can all live together.

In exile, but at least we'll be alive. We should leave. Tomorrow.

- Snow... - Let her go.

This is her kingdom. We can't just let her walk away from it.

Why do you suddenly care so much about saving snow's kingdom?

What do you mean?

Well, if you have true love,

what difference does it make whether you live in a castle or on a farm?

Wait, you think I'm in this for her crown?

You said it, not me.

Okay. Okay, I get it. I'm new.

But trust me, I want what's best for snow.

Look, handsome, she may love you, but that chiseled chin ain't fooling us.

We got our eyes on you.

Are you dwarfs with me or against me?

I think grumpy was pretty clear.

Sorry, brother, snow's already made up her mind.

So if you're looking to change it, you gotta do it without our help.

Then I'll find another way.

You again? Didn't I just help you wake your Princess?

And now I need your help once more.

Long ago, you made snow remember who she was when a spell blinded her.

I need you to do it again.

Who's there?

Show yourself.

That doesn't belong to you, dearie.

Belle?

Belle, I don't understand. How did you get here?

I thought you didn't dress like that anymore?

I thought that was your past.

Well, this is now my future.

Becoming this again,

the dark one, that's the only way I'll save my grandson.

But you haven't completely become him, have you?

There's still hope.

Oh.

You're not really here, are you?

No, of course not.

I'm still in storybrooke, right where you left me.

Are you okay?

Did the protection spell work?

It did. And we're all fine.

Storybrooke is safe. We all are.

How do I know these aren'tjust lies meant to lead me astray?

How do I know pan didn't conjure up a vision of you?

He didn't.

You did.

What?

The question is why.

Prince charming: You must have something

that can change snow's mind.

If she doesn't want to fight the queen, there's nothing I can do to change that.

I just need a way to make her believe in something that I already know,

that she can face Regina and win.

Magic can't make someone believe, dearie.

It works the other way around.

Belief must come from within.

You know, the queen's offer was a fair one.

Do yourself a favor and take it.

Ruling a kingdom ain't all it's cracked up to be.

Just ask your dear old brother.

Oh, wait, he died. You see my point.

No. I didn't come here to take no for an answer.

Now, you must have something. You always do.

Just name your price.

Save those arrows for the queen.

I told you. I've already made up my mind. We're leaving.

Not when you hear what rumplestiltskin had to say.

You, more than anyone, know that his deals always come with a price.

And sometimes that price is worth paying.

Without his help, you'd still be in that glass coffin.

What did he say this time?

He told me of a legend. A magical weapon.

One that can help you reclaim your kingdom.

Unless he can guarantee more lives won't be lost,

I'm not interested.

The weapon is only a half-day's ride from here.

We can be there before sundown.

This weapon...

You say it will help me defeat Regina? How?

By showing her who you really are.

My name is Emma swan.

I'd wager the solution to pan's riddle is a bit more complicated than that.

Don't hold anything back.

I'm Henry's mother.

I used to live in Boston, and I was a bail bondsperson.

I'm now the sheriff of storybrooke.

That election was a sham. Are we really doing this?

Don't you think maybe that you're leaving some things out?

I'm the daughter of snow white and prince charming.

Which apparently makes me the product of true love.

I was born in the enchanted forest,

and I was sent through a portal in a tree,

so that I could break a curse.

And you were able to break the curse because...

You're the...

Come on, you don't need to be embarrassed to say it.

Say what?

The s-word.

I'm the savior.

Emma: I don't get it. I said I'm the savior.

There's nothing I've denied more than that.

No, it's okay. We'll figure it out.

No, you won't.

Regina!

But I can.

I'm beginning to think there isn't a map on here.

But that doesn't mean it can't lead us to Henry.

I thought we decided that using magic was a bad idea.

For once I agree with the prince.

Well, I told you we were getting along.

What the hell are you doing?

A locator spell.

This parchment belonged to pan. It will lead us to him.

So it appears we will be venturing into the dark jungle after all.

You mean the place you told us never to set foot?

That's the one.

Well, Emma, you said you wanted to be the leader?

Lead.

Belle: So do you know why you brought me to the island?

I thought you were going to show me the answer.

Only you know that.

I've already told you.

No, you haven't.

- I have no idea. - Yes, you do.

- No. - You're holding back.

- I'm not! - You are!

- Belle! - What is it you're not saying?

I'm a coward. I'm just like my father.

You feel better now, don't you?

You know why I'm here.

You always saw the good in me.

I still do.

And, as much as you deny it,

I think you see it, too.

So why am I here? What are you wrestling with?

Pan offered me a deal.

I let him keep Henry, and he allows me to live.

The boy needn't be my undoing.

And you're afraid you'll make the selfish choice.

I generally do.

You abandoned your son, baelfire, and regretted it your whole life.

You don't need to do the same to Henry.

Letting go of the past? It's the first step.

You know, this was the last thing my father gave me.

What happened to him?

He left me.

If you don't want to repeat the mistakes he made,

you need to let go.

Regina: Ready to thank me?

Actually, yeah.

If you'd let me do it sooner, maybe we'd have found him by now.

Wait. He's there.

Pan. I can feel his smugness.

Shall we? While we still have the element of surprise on our side?

Careful. He may look like a boy, but he's a bloody demon.

Hey. We can do this. You can do this.

Prince charming: We're nearly there.

We should take the rest of the way on foot.

You realize this is the first time we've been alone since you proposed.

Well, privacy is a hard thing to come by

when you have seven "big brothers" keeping an eye on you.

They're protective.

That's one word for it.

Have the dwarfs been giving you a hard time?

Apart from accusing me of being

a gold-digging, social-climbing Shepherd?

Nah.

I have faith that you'll charm them just as you charmed me.

Eventually.

Prince charming: According to rumplestiltskin,

the weapon that will defeat Regina lies at the top of this hill.

This weapon... What does rumple say of its power?

Was it made with dark magic?

No, it was forged by a benevolent mage. His name is Merlin.

From a realm called Camelot.

There it is...

Excalibur.

It's beautiful.

It's stuck. You wanna try?

If you couldn't do it, you really think I can?

Well, the legend states only the kingdom's true ruler

possesses the strength to free the blade.

I've never ruled anything.

Not yet.

Go on.

Oh!

You see?

You are this kingdom's true leader.

Mary: No one's here. Maybe your spell was wrong, Regina.

Yes. Blame me. Again.

Guys, hold on.

Is that...

Henry!

Hlemma

Where the hell is Henry?

You broke the rules. That's not fair.

Bad form.

I expect more from you, captain.

Aye. And you'll get it.

Give Henry to me.

Sorry. Can't.

Don't you know?

Cheaters never win.

Watch out for their arrows, they're laced with dreamshade.

Mary Margaret!

Oh!

David.

I'm good.

Behind you!

- It's been a while, captain. - Not long enough.

Do you remember what I did to rufio? Well, it's a far worse fate for you.

Where's Henry? Where is he?

Emma, are you all right?

Remember what I told you.

That map will show you where Henry is

only when you stop denying who you really are.

I'll make sure to send Henry your regards.

She's coming! The queen!

Ready?

What exactly were you two up to today?

You'll see.

I hope.

Well, dear, have you packed your bags?

I thought about your offer.

And everything you said was true.

I could go off with charming and the dwarfs,

and we could find some lovely corner of the world to live out our days,

and it would be a wonderful life.

But I can't leave my people.

Not with you.

Well, in that case...

Charming!

You can do this. You.

You pulled that sword out of the stone.

Let him go!

You told me to stop denying who I really am.

Well, that's exactly what I'm doing.

This is my kingdom. And I will fight for it.

Then I'll see you on the battlefield.

We'll be ready.

You sure you don't want me to take a look at that?

I was lucky. My jacket wasn't. Don't worry about it.

I think we have bigger issues.

Don't let him shake your confidence.

We've all had moments where we thought we couldn't prevail.

Yeah, she's right.

Guys, not now. Please.

Emma, wait...

Please talk to me.

There's nothing to talk about. We had our chance and we lost. I lost.

Then you have to keep fighting.

You heard what hook said. Pan is a demon.

- And you are a... - What? A savior?

Because if that were true, this map would've shown us the way already.

Maybe who you think you are isn't who you really are.

What do you mean?

Sometimes we think we know ourselves

but we need a push to show us the reality.

That boy with the knife. You stopped fighting him. Why?

Because he was just a boy.

No. There was something else.

I saw it in your eyes.

Why did you stop?

Why?

Because when I looked at his face, I saw me.

Go on.

That look in his eyes,

the despair.

I had it. Back when I was in the foster system.

Just a lost little girl who didn't matter,

and didn't think she ever would.

A little girl who cried herself to sleep at night because

She wanted her parents so bad.

And could never understand

why they gave her up.

And then you found us, but it was too late.

It's just, on this island,

I don't feel like

A hero or a savior.

I just feel like what I've always been...

An orphan.

Emma...

What?

Look.

What happened?

You accepted who you are.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. It's the truth.

You were an orphan.

It's my job to change that.

Rumplestiltskin.

Rumplestiltskin.

Rumplestiltskin: What do you want?

We need to discuss the deal you made with charming.

Have to be a bit more specific, dearie.

He came to you searching for something powerful enough

to vanquish the queen.

You told him of Excalibur.

Now whatever it is that he promised you in return, I am prepared to pay it.

But I won't allow him to remain in your debt.

How nauseatingly romantic.

What did he promise you?

With you everything comes with a cost.

It's true your prince came to ask for aid fighting the queen.

I told him I had nothing to give. And I didn't.

Then how did he know where to find Excalibur?

Everyone knows it's in Camelot.

But it's not.

I possess it now.

If that were Excalibur, I wouldn't be able to do this.

Sword is a fake, dearie. Shoddy craftsmanship, too.

But then again, what can you expect from a Shepherd.

Lucky it wasn't made out of wool.

I struck Regina, I drew blood.

Enough of your ramblings.

No. Please.

That belonged to my mother!

And now it belongs to me.

You were right about one thing, dearie.

Everything comes with a cost,

including wasting my time.

Grumpy: Mind if we join you?

Please.

We may owe you a slight apology.

"Slight"?

Don't get greedy. Take it.

Okay.

We should never have doubted your intentions.

You were only looking out for her best interests.

Here's to starting over.

We need to talk.

I saw rumplestiltskin.

Snow, I can explain.

So it's true. You planted the sword in that stone?

I did.

So you took me on an adventure to find a "magical" sword because?

You needed to believe in something I already knew.

So when I stood up to Regina...

You did that on your own.

You had it inside you the entire time.

You just needed some help to realize that.

But you didn't.

The map is working. We know where Henry is.

Where?

We're here, at the southern tip of the isle,

in the middle of the dark jungle.

And pan's camp lies due north.

That's where he's keeping Henry.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Well, the terrain's not easy.

And there will undoubtedly be some nasty impediments along the way.

We should prepare.

We only made it out of our last encounter because pan let us.

We need a new plan.

Agreed. It's time we stop playing his game and he starts playing ours.

And if I disagree?

Go ahead. But I think you know our best chance is together.

You better be right.

Excellent show of Patience, love.

And that's what defeats a nasty little boy.

I hope so.

Is rum your solution to everything?

Well, it certainly doesn't hurt.

Mmm.

So just how did you unlock the map?

I did what pan asked.

Just who are you, swan?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Perhaps I would.

Pan: Don't eat the blue ones.

Congratulations. You did it, orphan.

You don't mind if I call you a lost girl, do you?

Call me what you like. It won't stop me from finding Henry.

Oh, I'm counting on that.

There's a reason I tested you.

Really?

You haven't forgiven your parents for abandoning you.

Don't deny it. You haven't. That's good.

Really good.

Because when you find Henry, you'll understand him.

What's that supposed to mean?

He hasn't forgiven you, either.

By the time you get to him, he'll never want to leave this island.

We'll see.

And as for you, Emma,

when we're finished, you won'tjust feel like an orphan.

You'll be one.
