Once Upon a Time s02e21 Episode Script

Second Star to the Right

Previously on "Once upon a time" I need you to help me find my father.
Do we have a deal? The beans they're gone.
This is how we're going to escape the destruction of Storybrooke.
There's a fail-safe built into the curse, a trigger.
Tamara she's the "She" August was trying to warn us about.
It belonged to my mother, and I want it back.
- The cuff.
- They rigged it with something that blocks magic.
Bag her.
There's something dark in your life.
My father.
I can send him someplace where he won't be able to use his powers a place without magic.
- What kind of world is without magic? - A better one.
We have to go through! Papa, please, it's the only way we can be together! No, Bae! I can't! You coward! You promised! Don't break our deal! I have to! Papa! No! Papa? Papa? Papa! Out of the road! What is this place? Stop! Who are you? What do you want? Please, I- I don't mean any harm.
I- I was just You're hungry.
Here.
Have as much as you'd like.
Really? Well, I'm not about to let you starve to death.
What's your name? - Bae.
- Bae? How unusual.
I'm Wendy.
Wendy Darling.
How about we sleep in just this once? The marathon's in three weeks.
I have to train.
Come back to bed.
I'll give you a workout.
I'll see you later.
Okay.
Bye.
No, no, no, you know perfectly Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
No.
If you won't kiss it, you're gonna taste it anyway.
Come on, Gold.
I didn't do anything.
You stared at her, and I know how you think.
So kiss My Boots.
What the hell are you doing? Stand aside.
This doesn't concern you.
No, go! Let go of me, sir! Surprised you didn't turn him into a snail.
A- a snail? What are you what are you talking about? Lacey, uh, why don't you go and wait for me in the shop? I'll be along shortly.
You're unreal, you know that? You spent years looking for me.
I come to town.
You disappear.
Haven't even bothered to meet Tamara.
Why should I concern myself with her? - We're getting married! - That's never gonna last, not while you carry a torch for Emma.
You know, you haven't changed one bit.
For a second, I thought you might have.
I started to think maybe you were worth my time.
I guess I was wrong.
And yet you're still here.
For Henry.
Not you.
As far as I'm concerned, you can stay the hell away from both of us.
It's okay! She's not here.
When you find her, you're not gonna hurt her, are you? No.
We just want the beans she stole from us.
I don't get it.
Why would Regina leave her office unlocked? Especially when she's keeping the beans here.
Was keeping them here.
They're gone.
Something's not right.
Regina would never leave evidence like this behind.
Maybe she already used them to portal out of Storybrooke.
Without Henry? I don't think so.
What if something bad happened to her? Security system says the last time someone was in the office was around 6:00 this morning.
They used an override code to get in.
Why would Regina need an override code on her own alarm? She wouldn't.
You think someone else broke in and took the beans? Well, we haven't found Regina anywhere and haven't heard from her.
So something bad did happen to her.
We're gonna find her, Henry.
I promise.
There's only one person who could overpower Regina.
Gold.
He's too busy with his new/old girlfriend.
No, this wasn't Gold.
This was Tamara.
Haven't you already gone down that road? Maybe not far enough.
Or maybe it's time for you to let it go? August was attacked the day Tamara came to town.
I don't think that was a coincidence.
What if you're wrong? If Regina's in trouble, we can't just drop everything else because of a hunch.
Which is why we're not gonna drop everything else.
Go to Gold.
I'm sure he has some kind of magic that can help locate Regina.
Where are you going? Back to Tamara's room.
Did you get into her office? Have I ever let you down? Look what I found.
Are these what I think they are? Magic beans.
Neal told me all about them.
They open portals.
I bet he told you a lot, huh? Don't be jealous.
As soon as we're done, this is coming off.
Yeah, well, you can have this one instead.
what the hell is that? I don't know.
Regina had it on her.
I'll send it back with the rest of the data.
I think the home office is gonna have a field day with everything we collected so far.
I still have one more thing that I have to do.
Make it quick.
We'll be getting our instructions soon.
Oh, this isn't gonna take long.
Whatever they're offering you, it's not worth it.
Well, considering they're offering to have me kill Rumplestiltskin, I'd say it is.
And you actually trust them? You don't even know who you're working for.
Good morning, Regina.
This part of your mission? No.
No, this is this is personal.
See, this is about my father.
I already told you, he left town.
Yet he never came to find his only son.
Look, uh, would you mind lending me a hand? And preferably your good one.
Sorry, mate.
Gonna have to say no.
When you're interested in killing Rumplestiltskin and not torturing the queen, find me.
Well, I guess it's just me and you.
Is that supposed to frighten me? Well it should.
You see, this is how we deal with your kind.
And, yes, it's going to be unpleasant.
Now exactly how unpleasant Well That depends on you.
Now Where is my father? I brought as much as I could.
And your parents don't suspect anything? They're grown-ups.
They can't see anything that's not right in front of them.
We can't, can we? Please, father.
Let me explain.
How long have you been hiding in my house? Only a few weeks, father.
He was hungry on the streets.
I was talking to him.
Where's your family? My mother died.
My father he's dead, too.
Look, I'm sorry.
I- I'll leave right away, sir.
You're not going anywhere.
The streets are no place for a boy.
Please, don't send me to the workhouse.
We'll do nothing of the sort.
You'll stay right here.
What? Welcome to our home.
I need to search your room.
For real this time.
You wanna tell me what this is about, sheriff? Where's your fiancee? She's on a run.
What do you think she did this time? Regina's gone missing.
And you think she You're you're still on Tamara? You gotta be kidding me.
She came to town to support me, her fiance.
She's not a kidnapper.
Where'd she go running? The same place she goes every morning the woods.
How long she been gone? Couple of hours.
Does it matter? She's training for a marathon.
If she runs in the woods, then why did she track sand in here? Maybe she likes to run along the beach instead.
- What does that prove? - That she lied to you.
If she lied about this, then you can bet she's lied about other things, too.
Maybe she just likes to run on the beach.
One way to find out.
Bae.
Come to the window.
What is it? The shadow? Is it coming tonight? Oh, I hope so.
The What? A few weeks ago, right about the time you got here, this shadow it came to the window, only it's not attached to a body.
And it can do so many wonderful things like Like change its shape and fly and travel between worlds.
And do you know why? Because it has magic.
Whatever you do, promise me you'll never open that window again.
Promise me you won't talk to the shadow.
Don't be silly.
Magic is dangerous.
It always comes with a price.
You're just saying that 'cause you don't believe.
No.
I do believe.
That's the point.
I've seen magic.
I come from another land A- a land where magic is everywhere.
Is that really true? Because that sounds wonderful.
It isn't what you think.
Magic is the reason I left.
I lost everything because of it.
Your mother and father.
Magic destroyed my family.
I don't want it to do the same to yours.
If the shadow comes back, promise me you won't go anywhere near it.
All right, Bae.
I promise.
Sorry to interrupt the party.
Well, I certainly don't remember inviting you two.
- We're closed.
- Not to us.
We need your help.
Regina's missing, and we think she might be in danger.
Just the way I like her.
Now if you'll excuse me No, I don't think so.
Whatever your feelings are about Regina, you still owe me a favor.
Lacey, if you could excuse us, I have some business to attend to.
Make it quick.
I'm sure I could whip up something to find Regina, but tell me, why do the Charmings want to help the evil queen? Because I owe her, after what I did to Cora.
Never underestimate the power of a guilty conscience.
What is that? This is one of Regina's tears.
Why do you have one of Regina's tears? Because I do.
This spell, however, requires two tears.
You want one from me? Well, just think of a dark moment, dearie something bleak and hopeless.
I know you have a few.
Perfect.
Now when you drop this into your eye, you will be connected with Regina, wherever she is.
Whatever she sees, you'll see.
Whatever she feels, you'll feel.
How long does the spell last? Long enough to lead you to her.
And with that, I've fulfilled my end of the bargain.
Good-bye.
Always a pleasure.
So it's, uh so it's true? I- I-I heard everything.
You, uh you really can do magic.
I think you might wanna pour yourself another drink.
You don't have to do this, you know.
You've been through enough already.
That's why I do have to do it.
My heart is dark because of what I did to Regina.
If I can help find her, if we could save her, maybe it'll help let some of the light back in.
Mary Margaret! Bae! Look! It's him, the shadow.
No.
No, Wendy, get away from there.
You don't have to be afraid.
He doesn't want to hurt us.
He's from another land a land with magic, but it's different from where you came from.
Wendy, please, don't listen to him.
It's called Neverland, and there are grown-ups there, and children never grow old.
And we can do anything we want, even fly! It's a trick.
Don't go with him.
You don't need magic.
You have a family right here.
That's the only thing that matters.
This is what I've always dreamed of.
You just don't believe.
Wendy! Wendy! So, uh, where do you think she's hiding Regina a sand castle? They have to be somewhere.
Emma, you're letting your emotions get in the way of your judgment.
Do you really think this is all about me trying to break up you and Tamara? What do you wanna hear, Neal? That it killed me you never came looking for me even once I was locked up? - Emma - That it didn't hurt that you found Tallahassee with someone else? Neal? What are you doing down here? We were we were just I thought you go running in the woods.
Yeah, I start in the woods, but then I run along the beach.
Everything all right? Regina's missing.
Oh, my god.
That's terrible.
I thought maybe she was down here, but I was wrong.
Well, I'm sure she'll turn up somewhere.
Let me know if I can help at all.
- I'll see you later.
- Okay.
Oh, Emma.
I think I should go.
I wanted to go to jail for you.
- Neal - It kills me that I let August talk me into letting you go.
- I don't wanna hear it.
- No, okay, but I have to say it.
I wanted to look for you.
I just I was too afraid.
Of what? That you would never forgive me, 'cause I never forgave myself.
There hasn't been a day that's gone by that I don't regret having left you.
I'm sorry, Emma, for everything.
Me, too.
Everything's taken care of.
They bought it? As far as Emma and Neal are concerned, I'm just running on the beach.
How are things going with the Queen? You know, she's not exactly cooperative, but that's all about to change.
Right, Regina? You have no idea who you're dealing with.
Actually, no, you have no idea who you're dealing with.
A couple of fools in over their heads who go around stealing magic.
Stealing magic.
That's what you think we're here to do? We're not here to steal magic.
We're here to destroy it.
Magic does not belong in this world.
It's unholy.
We're here to cleanse this land of it.
You think you can destroy magic? Just the two of you? Well, who said there's only two of us? Oh, we're we're everywhere, Regina.
See, after I left Storybrooke as a boy, I was babbling about magic, about what I had seen, and what had happened to my father.
You know, most folks, they they wrote me off.
But some didn't.
And they found me.
"They"? Believers.
People that know that magic is real.
And that it doesn't belong in this world and are willing to do something about it.
This little quest of yours to cleanse the world of magic It's not gonna work.
No, of course it will.
We've done it before, and we'll do it again.
Do do you think that Storybrooke is the first time that magic has crossed over? Magic has been doing it's damage for a long time.
And people like us we're here to stop it.
Mary Margaret? Are you okay? It was awful.
The worst pain I've ever felt.
Wherever Regina is, she's powerless.
She can't fight back.
Could you could you see where she was? Could you see who was keeping her there? I just remember pain and screaming.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Concentrate.
The smallest detail might lead us to her.
I don't know.
Oh, my hands were tied down.
And my legs It was cold and it smelled weird, like sardines.
I don't know.
I wish I could remember more.
So she didn't see anything? Uh, not much.
She could sense Regina was in pain.
It was cold.
She was strapped down.
Uh, she said she could smell sardines.
Get down to the docks right now.
I was right.
Tamara was not down here for a run.
She was in there with Regina.
It's all right.
It's just me.
I thought I'd never see you again.
How long was I gone? Just the night.
It felt like so much longer.
As though time works differently in Neverland.
So what was it like over there? It's an island where there are no grown-ups to tell you what to do.
But there are mermaids and fairies and all sorts of mystical creatures.
Then why did you return? Because when night fell that's when all the children started to miss their parents, and they cried through the night.
Well, why don't they go home? The shadow won't let them.
There's a reason it's called neverland.
Because once you set foot on its soil the shadow never lets you leave.
H- how did you escape? He let me go.
Because he didn't want me.
He wanted a boy.
He's coming back tonight to take one of my brothers in my place.
You said magic was bad, and you were right, Bae.
It's going to destroy my family.
No.
I won't let anything bad happen to you or this family.
So why didn't you tell me sooner? Because magic always comes with a price.
Tends to drive away the people I care about most.
Well, then you've been caring about the wrong people.
What else can you do? Anything.
There are many perks to being the dark one.
Immortality being one of them, right? Could you, uh Could you keep me young? Yeah.
'Cause, uh 'Cause then we can we can be together forever.
Nothing can keep us apart.
What? - There is one thing.
- What is it? Immortal means to live forever.
It doesn't mean one can't be killed.
There was a prophecy that someone might be my undoing.
Well well, do do you know who this someone is? Then then get rid of them.
Stop them.
It's complicated.
Something's standing in my way.
I thought you were a man who who wouldn't let anything stand in his way.
I am.
You sure you wanna be here? I'm not gonna leave you alone in this place.
If something does go down with Tamara, I need to know you've got my back.
Emma, if Tamara is hiding Regina here in her evil lair by the docks, yeah, I got your back.
What the hell, guys? Here.
So that doesn't happen again.
You and Mary Margaret take the basement.
We'll search the main floor.
Regina's gotta be here somewhere.
Time to go.
They found us.
Who, Emma and Neal? I thought that you took care of them.
Yeah, so did I.
We need to go.
No, no.
No, no, no.
I- I need more time with her.
Greg, if you get caught, this whole thing is blown.
We wouldn't even know about this town if it wasn't for my dad.
I'm not leaving until I find out where he is.
Fine.
Meet me at the rendezvous point when you're done.
I'm moving up the timeline.
Now I'm gonna give you one last chance.
Tell me where my father is.
Okay, time's up.
Wait.
Where is he? Dead.
I killed him.
The minute you ran away No, you're you're lying to me.
Don't believe me? Go see for yourself.
I buried his body at your campsite.
I doubt he gets many visitors there.
Now go ahead and kill me.
I just wanted to see the look on your face when I Good night, my treasures.
We have work to do.
Okay.
Don't worry.
The shadow's not taking anyone tonight.
Thank you, Bae.
You can thank me in the morning.
Okay, everyone to their beds.
Bae? Don't be frightened.
The shadow he's here.
Get in the crawl space! Come on! Let's go! where's Michael? - Michael? - Oh! Don't do it! Don't go with him! Michael.
Michael, step back.
you want him? Take me instead.
Bae, no! But you have to promise never to bother this family again.
No, Bae, you can't.
I won't let magic destroy this family.
This is the only way.
You have to let me go.
Thank you, Wendy, for making me part of your family.
Bae! Bae! you feel that? That's the end of you.
That's scary, ain't it? Now you're never gonna hurt anyone ever again.
Don't move! David! We can't leave her.
She'll die if we don't get her help.
We gotta get her to Mother superior.
Emma? You gotta block the exits.
Already on it.
You guys all right? Oh, we're fine.
We found Regina, with Mendell.
He's coming your way.
Greg Mendell.
So I was right.
It wasn't Tamara.
Actually It was.
I just had some help.
What are you doing, Tamara? I have to keep magic out of this world, Neal.
It doesn't belong here.
You more than anyone should understand that.
It's a poison.
You've been lying to me.
How long have you been lying to me? This is more important than any How long?! Since the beginning.
Since I spilled coffee on you.
It wasn't an accident.
You planned it all.
None of it was real.
Neal, you're a good man.
I know that.
So please try to understand.
I had a job to do an important one, one I think you can agree with.
You never loved me.
No.
I can't let you leave here, Tamara.
Neal, please don't make me.
I'm sorry, Neal.
You should be.
It's over.
No.
It's not.
Bye.
Emma! I got you.
We gotta get you to a hospital.
- Neal! - Emma! You can't hold both of us! I'm not letting go of you.
You have to.
No, you're shot! If you fall through that portal, you'll die no matter what world you land in! No, but, Emma, Henry needs you.
He can't lose both of us.
Don't make him grow up like we did.
Then don't let go.
I need you.
I love you.
I love you too.
No! No, no, no, no, no, no.
No.
Dad.
Now that the cuff is off, she's gonna be okay, Given time and rest.
Her magic will return.
What happened? What is it? Where's Neal? He's gone.
She killed him.
Neverland? No! No, you're not taking me there! Good, lad.
Get the sea out of your lungs.
Who are you? The name's Hook.
Captain Hook.
Welcome aboard th "Jolly Roger," My boy.
Emma.
I'm so sorry.
How am I gonna tell Henry? You You saved me? Yes.
You really think we'd let you die? Despite our differences, we're family.
Where are they? Where are Greg and Tamara? They got away.
So they still have it.
Still have what? Sorry about your father.
Me, too.
Do the folks back at the home office know anything about it? Yeah.
They did.
And you're never gonna believe what it does.
A trigger? That will destroy Storybrooke.
No.
I had a fail-safe built into the curse.
Then why exactly were you carrying it around? She was gonna destroy us, Mary Margaret.
I was going to use the beans to take Henry back to the enchanted forest.
And in the process, kill all of us.
You wanna discuss justification? You were going to abandon me.
Or shall we discuss the more pressing issue? Which is that I no longer control the trigger.
What are we supposed to do with it? They want us to move to the next phase.
Already? Yeah.
There's only one way to get what we all want.
We have to blow Storybrooke off the map.
