- Who are you?
- Peter Pan.
This Tinker Bell is not going
to save us.
- You know where Pan is.
- Sure.
The arrow barely nicked me.
You know how long?
Days.
Weeks at most.
I don't belong here.
You were created for a reason,
and I can help you find it.
No! Papa! No!
You're not coming back, are you?
I must do this to honor Baelfire.
I know how to get to Neverland.
Welcome home, Baelfire.
Feels like just yesterday
I welcomed you to Neverland
the first time, Baelfire.
Gotta say, hoped I'd never
see you again.
Then maybe Pan shouldn't have
taken my son.
Maybe you should've left
well enough alone.
I'm gonna get him back.
You really believe that?
You were a lost boy.
You know Peter Pan's
not be to trifled with.
You know how long
he's been searching for
the heart of the truest believer.
Do you really believe he'll just
give him up?
Maybe, if I ask nicely.
You may have grown up, Baelfire,
but it would appear you have
grown up stupid.
I have grown up.
I don't know if I'm stupid or not,
but I do know I know how to tie
an overhand knot.
Uhh!
I'm not a boy anymore, Felix.
I sure as hell ain't lost.
Once Upon a Time 3x04 - Nasty Habits
Original air date October 20, 2013
Bae.
A present.
Something to sharpen your coal with.
Where did you get it?
Oh, from a man who no longer needed it.
You mean taken from a man
who couldn't pay you.
Bae
Papa, I told you,
I don't want any more gifts
from the people you terrorize.
Then what do you want?
Tell me, son.
What would make you happy?
Leaving this place.
I'm tired of staying
in this hovel all the time.
Well, that's easy to fix.
How about a castle, huh?
I could build you a palace
so magnificent
its shadow would blanket
the countryside.
That's not what I mean.
I wanna go out, have friends,
see the world beyond these four walls.
Papa, why can't you just
trust me to do that?
I do trust you, Bae.
It's
It's others that I can't.
You see, I have many enemies
beyond that door.
And once you leave, any one
of them could hurt you.
You sure that's the only reason?
Maybe what you're really worried about
is if I leave, I might never come back.
No, no.
I
I I'm worried about your safety.
This is the best place for you.
I don't know what I'd do
if I ever lost you.
You always felt more comfortable
behind a mask.
You were the only one
who could ever see past it,
past the mask of the monster.
Then why put it back on now?
I need the monster, Belle.
It's the only way I can save him.
And that's what I've decided.
I'm gonna save Henry.
The prophecy states that
Henry will be your undoing.
To save him, you ensure your own death.
You don't think I can do it?
I think your intentions are good.
But a lifetime of craven self-interest
is a nasty habit
that you've never been able to break.
Things are different now.
How? What what's different?
Because I have nothing to live for.
What about me?
You're not real.
Just a vision.
But I'm I'm back in Storybrooke,
waiting for you.
You shouldn't be.
When I said good-bye to you, Belle,
we both know it was for good.
Well, maybe I think you'll come back.
Even if I did, eventually you'd leave me
because you can see me
for what I really am.
You think you see a good man,
but in time, you'd see the monster.
My son is dead.
The only way I can redeem myself
is by saving his son
and giving my life.
This is where they're keeping Henry.
Pan's compound.
According to, uh
Tinker Bell.
Yes, I know.
Still weird to say.
"Tink" is fine.
Not sure that's any better.
Anyway, she says that there are
sentries positioned
across the front,
which is why we are gonna
come in through the back entrance here.
She's gonna talk her way in.
Once she makes sure the coast is clear,
then we are going to sneak on in.
You'll still have to deal
with any lost boys
once you're inside.
I think we can handle a few
children with pointy sticks.
It's not the sticks
you need to worry about.
It's the poison they're dipped in.
Dreamshade.
Hook warned us.
Good.
Because one nick,
and you'll spend the last of
Poison sticks equal death.
We got it.
Now when can we put this
rescue mission into action?
I'm ready to go,
just as you tell me the exit plan.
You do have an escape plan, don't you?
It's it's more of a last-minute trip.
If you don't have a way off this island,
then none of this matters.
We'll figure it out.
You'll figure it out?
No one comes and goes from
this place unless he allows it.
This is a waste of time.
Hey, when it comes to family,
we always find a way.
You don't get it.
Here.
Let me show you something.
You know what this is?
I got it from the people who
brought your son here for Pan.
Greg and Tamara? Where are they?
Why'd they give you that?
I got it off the girl's body.
Spent half the night
cleaning the blood off it.
And the other guy
Well, there wasn't enough left of him
to find anything useful.
This is what Pan does
to people he employs.
What do you think he's gonna do to you?
I'm not sticking my neck
on Pan's chopping block
without a way off this island.
When you figure that out,
you know where I live.
- Where the hell is she going?
- I'll get her, bring her back.
Don't.
She's right.
If there's one thing I've learned,
you never break in somewhere
unless you know the way out.
And where'd you get that,
in bail bondsperson school?
Neal taught me that.
What about you, Hook?
You got off this island before.
Yes, aboard my ship,
which would require some form
of magic to create a portal,
which
I got from Pan
in a deal I don't think
he's ready to repeat.
So no one's ever left the island
without Pan's permission.
One man.
Her partner in crime Neal.
How?
Maybe we can find out.
Stop by order of Pan!
I don't take orders.
Bae?
You're not real.
You're dead.
What? Of course I'm real.
What the hell's going on?!
You're a vision, just like Belle.
No.
No, hey.
Listen to me.
It's me.
I was shot.
Okay?
But I survived.
See?
- I'm alive.
- My son is dead!
You're just here to remind me
of my failure!
That's not why I'm here.
- My weakness.
- Put the spear down.
You're here to question my resolve.
But you won't succeed.
I will sacrifice my life for Henry.
And nothing will stand in my way!
Please, papa.
Bae?
Is that really you?
Yeah.
I thought I'd lost you forever.
I was thinking
Only a king should live in a castle.
So why don't you try this on for size?
Bae?
All right, now listen.
We'll start organizing
search parties right away.
You think you can hide him from me?
Where is he?
Where's my son?!
He's not here, Dark One.
I swear!
Don't lie to me!
Magic has led me to
this rathole of a town!
His trail ends here, in Hamelin.
I know you're hiding him from me.
No.
No, we're not.
Many of our children
went missing last night,
lured from their beds
by some unholy music.
What kind of music?
From the Piper.
Only the children could hear it.
Some of them tried
telling their parents,
but no one believed them.
They were sent back to bed.
And this morning, they were gone.
And who was playing it?
No one saw his face.
O only a figure
hidden by a pied cloak
of multicolor patches,
leading the children from
their homes and into the forest.
Don't you see? It
It has to be the same man
that has taken your son.
Then whoever this Pied Piper is,
he's about to play his late note.
How is it possible?
It's kind of a long story.
Let's just say that
the debt Robin Hood owes you
has been paid.
You were back in our land?
Yeah, but I made it here.
The only thing that matters now
is that I help Emma save Henry.
Where is she?
I left her and the rest of them
aboard Hook's ship.
As noble as their intentions may be,
they don't have the stomach
to do what needs to be done.
Like what you did to these boys?
They're not, uh
No, they're just sleeping.
For now.
Let's leave it that way, okay?
You don't have the stomach either.
I'll do what needs to be done.
But killing lost boys?
We don't have to do that.
We shall see.
So I take it you have a plan?
The whole "sacrifice your life" thing
was just you being dramatic.
Well, it's the only way.
Pan's too powerful.
You can only beat him
if you're willing to die,
which I am.
What if I told you
there was another way?
So what exactly is your plan?
You know how if you hold a shell
up to your ear
you can hear the ocean?
Certain shells,
the ocean can hear you.
Why would we need the ocean to hear us?
What have you done?
Give me the spear.
Uhh!
A squid?
That's right.
I believe you know how to extract ink
from one of these bad boys.
Squid ink.
So this is your plan?
It can immobilize
the most magical of creatures.
Even Pan.
I have some experience with it.
Can you get it out?
Indeed.
But how do you plan on getting
close enough to use it?
I don't need to get close.
All I need is one clean shot
to get Henry back.
Well, leave that to me.
What is this supposed to be?
So what, Neal swung
out of Neverland on a vine?
Well, if someone would be kind
enough to lend me a hand
What do you say, savior?
I'll do it.
You don't look so hot, mate.
It's a hundred degrees
in this damn jungle.
And I'm plenty hot.
Ladies first.
How much longer do you think
you can keep up this charade?
Don't you think your family
deserves to know
- you're gonna die?
- What do you care?
Why don't you?
What is the good in telling them
when there is nothing I can do
to stop the poison,
when there is no hope?
Well, if there's one thing I've
gleaned from you hero types,
it's that there's always hope.
Is there something you're not
telling me, mate?
Alas, hope and reality are
most often worlds apart.
I told you the truth.
You'll never make it
off this island alive.
Well
Then this is between us.
The only thing they need
to worry about saving
is Henry.
Hook!
What is this place?
What are we doing here?
Neal.
This is where he lived.
Aye.
Baelfire spent some time
in Neverland as a boy.
This was his home.
So you think he may have
left a clue
as to how he escaped from here?
Well, let's hope so,
or we'll be lost just like he was.
Bae!
Bae!
Bae!
Where is my son, Piper?
Is that what they're calling me?
We both know who I really am.
Been a long time, laddie.
Glad you could make the show.
You surprised to see me, Rumple?
I don't blame you.
I'm a little surprised myself.
Look who's all grown up
and become The Dark One!
Good for you.
What are you doing here?
It's lonely in Neverland.
The only friends I have
are the children who visit
in their dreams.
But they can't stay.
The boys I take back with will.
You're here for my son.
I am.
It's gonna take a lot more
than a magic pipe
to take my son.
The only thing magic about this pipe
is that only certain boys can hear it
boys who feel unloved,
boys who feel lost.
I guess that's why you can
hear it, Rumple.
Isn't it?
Don't pretend to know me.
You don't.
Not anymore.
Oh, I think I do.
Beneath all that power,
you're nothing more than
an unloved, lonely, lost boy.
Hey, I like the sound of that.
That's what I'll call
my new group of friends.
The lost boys.
It has a nice ring, don't you think?
You can call them whatever you like.
Baelfire will not be part of it.
Oh, he's already a part of it.
The question is,
what are you willing to do
to get him back?
I'm gonna make you regret
ever asking that question.
Oh, I understand you're upset.
Most parents' worst fear
is that their child will
be taken away from them.
But that's not yours, is it, Rumple?
No.
You're not afraid Baelfire will
be taken from you.
You're afraid he'll leave.
After all, being abandoned is
what you're good at, isn't it?
Everyone you've ever known
has left, haven't they?
Like Bae's mother Milah.
Not to mention your own father.
Why should Baelfire be any different?
You're wrong.
Am I? Well, let's find out, shall we?
You ask Baelfire
if he wants to come to Neverland with me
or stay here with you.
If he wants to stay,
I'll leave and never return.
Deal?
I don't have to make any deals with you.
But why wouldn't you,
if you're so sure he'll stay?
You don't want to join in
the celebration, Henry?
Nothing to celebrate.
Nothing to celebrate?
Henry, this whole party
is to celebrate you.
Me? Why?
Because you've come
to save magic, of course.
And I, for one, can't think of a reason
more deserving of celebration than that.
Just look at them.
I'm not like them.
Or you.
Sure you are.
You're still a boy.
Maybe a song will get you on your feet.
Sorry.
I I don't hear anything.
Interesting.
You see, this pipe's enchanted, Henry.
It can only be heard
by certain children.
Like who?
You'll find out soon enough, I promise.
What?
I know that look.
What happened?
Baelfire.
I'm afraid he got away.
Well, then why didn't you get him back?
I tried.
I followed his trail
and found two of our sentries
knocked out
By a sleeping spell.
The Dark One.
So father and son have been reunited.
They'll be coming for the boy.
We should move him somewhere safe.
Now, now, Felix.
Where's your sense of adventure?
We can't end the party when
the real fun is about to begin.
Anything important?
I can't tell yet.
I didn't know he liked drawing.
He got it from his mother.
I'm hoping Neal left something useful
in the details of one of these.
Maybe a map?
Some kind of clue.
Hand me that candle.
What about you? Any luck?
No potted bean plant
or swirling vortex under the rug,
if that's what you mean.
There may be no rug at all.
There are other drawings
on the far wall,
but as far as I can tell,
that's all they are.
Probably just a way to
pass the time and keep occupied.
You knew him pretty well, didn't you?
We spent some time together.
You all right there, Swan?
I'm fine.
Looks like you're right.
They're just a bunch of pictures.
What's all this?
Uh, just some cups and bowls
he fashioned
from things he found here.
Don't know how great a cup
this coconut could make.
It's filled with holes.
Uh, maybe it's a tiny colander.
Yes, because preteen Baelfire
probably made lots of pasta.
Hold on.
Hook, snuff out that torch.
Am I supposed to be impressed
that he made a night-light?
Look up.
Stars.
It's a map.
To where?
Home.
We have a guest!
No doubt someone who knows
how much I like guessing games.
Who could it be?
I guess
The Dark One.
Come to save Henry, have you, laddie?
How exciting.
The Dark One ready to sacrifice
his life for his family.
Speaking of family
You can come out now, Baelfire.
Name's Neal now.
New name, but the same old tricks.
It's heartwarming to see
father and son working together,
especially after
you abandoned him, Rumple.
This is a real family reunion.
What are you waiting for?
I got this.
Clever.
But we've been through this
before, Baelfire.
Have you remembered nothing?
I remember plenty.
That's why I didn't coat the tip.
Grab Henry.
Well, how about that?
I'm impressed.
But are you sure you're
really saving him, Bae?
What could be worse than
leaving him here with you?
Why don't you ask your father?
Sometimes the people
we should fear the most
are the ones closest to us.
- W what's he talking about?
- Don't listen to him.
You mean you haven't told him?
Told me what?
Why, about the prophecy, of course.
What prophecy? What's he mean?
The prophecy that says
you've been tricked.
Your father isn't here
to rescue your son.
He's here to *** him.
What the hell was he talking about?
Oh, don't mind him.
He said you were gonna *** Henry!
He plays games.
Mind games.
The important thing is
we got the boy and we got away.
Where are we?
The other side of the island.
We're safe here for the time being.
Hey.
Hey, Henry.
It's me.
- Hey, it's your dad.
- No, he he can't hear you.
Then wake him up.
Pulling him out of the spell
could be dangerous.
He'll wake naturally
in a few hours.
He'll be fine.
All right.
Then you can explain to me
what the hell Pan meant.
This prophecy that he's talking about,
why would he say that you'd kill Henry?
Oh, I don't know,
to create a wedge between us.
That's not a denial.
No, this has to do with
what happened when I found you.
You thought I was a hallucination.
You said that you had to do
the right thing and save Henry!
What did that really mean?
Baelfire it's Neal!
Now stop dodging and tell me
what's going on!
There was a seer,
and she told me of a prophecy
that boy would help reunite me with you.
And that boy
Would be my undoing.
Henry.
I didn't know it was gonna be
my own grandson,
till I found you in New York
and discovered you were his father.
You were planning on getting rid of him,
whoever he was, weren't you?
To try and cheat fate?
To get around the prophecy?
You cold-blooded son of a ***.
You were gonna kill him.
Yes.
Get back.
- You stay away from him!
- That was then.
Things have changed.
I I didn't come here
to Neverland to hurt Henry.
I came here to save him.
After what you just told me,
I'm supposed to believe you?!
I won't lie to you, Bae.
Self-preservation has been a nasty habit
I've had my whole life,
but I came here to break it,
to do the right thing
and to save your son.
Even if that meant sacrificing
my own life.
You have to trust me.
How can I?
You don't even recognize him,
do you, Rumple?
Well, how could I when
he's wearing a mask?
Well, he might be wearing a mask,
but that's not the reason.
Look at him
Playing with to boys, out in the world.
He's happy, Rumple.
That's why you don't recognize him.
Bae.
Baelfire.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Why are you here?
I know you think I don't care
about you, son, but I do.
And I'm here to prove it.
How?
Go ahead, Rumple.
Papa!
- What are you doing?!
- I'm protecting you.
You're gonna regret
not taking my deal, Rumple!
- Don't touch me! Get away!
- It's all right now, Bae.
- You're safe.
- Safe? I was never
in danger.
The Piper was my friend!
He may have wanted you to think that.
But you have to believe me.
He would've hurt you.
Why? Who is he?
Another person that you abused
with your power?
His name is Peter Pan.
I've known him since I was a boy.
Growing up, we were incredibly close.
So you're saying he's immortal, too.
He wasn't always.
He betrayed me, Bae.
He can't be trusted.
What happened?
All that matters is that
he fooled me for a long time
before I'd finally seen his true nature,
and it is darker and more repulsive
than you should ever be exposed to!
He can't be any worse than you.
I had to protect you, Bae.
I didn't have a choice.
Stop lying because I know that you did!
I know about the deal Pan offered you.
He said all you had to do was
ask me if I wanted to come home.
He told you?
He said that way I'd know
if you really trusted me,
if you really cared.
Oh, please, Bae.
You didn't need to.
I would've chosen to come home.
I would've chosen you!
If only you asked.
Maybe we could've found a way
to be a family again.
We can be.
Bae.
Bae!
Tell me what I have to do
to gain your trust,
and I will.
Give me The Dark One dagger.
I know you.
I know you wouldn't come all
the way to Neverland without it.
It's the only thing
that can control you.
It's the only thing that could stop you.
You wouldn't take any chances with it.
- I don't have it.
- Why you lying?
I'm not lying to you, Bae.
I hid it so Pan couldn't get it,
so he couldn't stop me.
So un-hide it!
My shadow took it.
Your shadow.
Man, you got an answer
for everything, don't you?
I'm telling you the truth, I swear.
You know, maybe you did hide it.
Maybe you do want to do the right thing.
But that's today.
What about tomorrow?
I've changed.
- Have you?
- Yes.
The prophecy still stands.
You save him, he's still your undoing.
I'm still willing to die for him.
What happens if we get back,
and you're reunited with Belle,
and you realize that
the only thing standing between
you and your happy ending is my son?
And suddenly, "undoing" doesn't
sound so great.
You're my happy ending.
This is,
because it's my redemption.
I can be strong, son,
if you have faith in me.
You know, when I was living here
and sleeping in a cave,
I used to dream
of you coming to rescue me.
But then I'd wake up
and remember how you left me behind.
You left your own son behind
for the power of that dagger.
How can I think
that things would ever be any different?
Neal.
What are you doing?
I'm gonna find Emma and the others
and get the hell off this island.
Then I'm gonna get my family back home.
You can't go into the jungle alone.
Without my power to protect you,
Pan will capture you both!
I'm sorry, I got no choice.
We're safer without you.
Good-bye, papa.
How can you be so sure it's a map?
There was a short time in Neverland
when Baelfire was aboard my ship.
I taught him to navigate
using the stars.
What you're looking at
is the fruit of my labors.
Then you can read it.
Sadly, no.
I thought you just said
you taught him how.
Yes, but I also taught Neal
something else.
The key to being a pirate secrecy.
The best captains conceal
their maps in a code.
He was an apt pupil.
So you're saying the only person
who can read this map is Neal?
Which means the only person
who can read it is dead.
Emma, wait!
Now is not the time.
I can't imagine even imagine
the sadness you must be feeling.
I'm not sad.
I'm pissed.
Yes, Neal just died,
but I lost him years ago.
All that time
thinking that he didn't love me,
only to find out that he did,
and it was too late.
I can't even tell him
how angry that makes me,
or how much it hurt when he left,
or how terrified I was
when he came back.
I knew the moment I saw him,
I never
I never stopped loving him.
She'll be okay.
- Really?
- We have done everything we can.
But that's the problem.
I have no idea
how to comfort my own daughter.
It is the first thing a mother learns,
and I don't know how.
I know.
I feel the same way.
- But she is so upset, we have to get
- How can we even blame her?
If you died, I would not
be able to move on.
You must.
I'm just saying.
Every day we're here,
something bad could happen.
And if it did to me,
I'd want you to move on,
to continue, to be happy.
That's really sweet,
but nothing is going to happen to you,
not while I'm here.
Emma.
You were so close to finding her.
You disappoint me.
I thought I taught you better.
Never break in somewhere
unless you know the way out.
I'll remember that for next time.
Well, there isn't going to be
a next time.
But don't blame yourself.
Your father could have protected
you out here, sure.
But then who would've
protected Henry from him?
Talk about a rock and a hard place.
I will get my son back,
no matter what it takes.
You're not getting it.
That's not the problem.
You got him.
I got him back.
It's the game.
No, my boy, the real problem for you
is that there is no escaping Neverland.
No one gets off this island
without my permission.
I've done it before.
Did you?
Look where you are now.
It's like you never left.
You saying you let me go?
I'm saying everyone's where I want them.
Something to chew on.
You know where to take him.
No! Henry!
Oh, don't worry.
It won't be for very long.
- I'm alive!
- Just until I reset the board.
See, the game is about to change.
Don't give up hope, Henry!
I will come for you!
I promise!
I'm so sorry, Rumple.
Neal should have trusted you.
How could he?
After everything I've done?
Well
He may not know what was
in your heart, but I do.
You would've protected Henry.
You would've even given your own life
to show Neal that you've changed.
Are you asking me,
or do you truly believe that?
I know it with all my heart.
What I don't know is
why you look so upset now.
I mean, Rumple, he's alive.
Baelfire.
You have something to live for.
But the prophecy remains.
Henry's still my undoing.
That's why you're upset.
You were so determined to die for the boy,
but now?
Having something to live for
has brought back
that nasty habit of
self-preservation, hasn't it?
Rumple
Habits can be broken, can't they?
Go away, Belle.
I don't want to talk right now.
What happened?
Oh, you fell asleep.
I did?
No, don't worry.
It was just a little catnap.
The night's still young.
Wait.
I I remember something.
My dad
When I was asleep, I
I could've sworn
I heard him calling for me.
Really?
It must've been a dream.
Well, how can you be sure?
Because
'Cause my dad's dead.
I'm sorry, Henry.
It makes sense for us to dream
about the things we've lost
and the things we hoped for,
like your father being alive
and your mother coming to find you.
But eventually,
you'll find new things to dream about.
And when you do,
they'll start to come true.
How do you know?
Because that's what I did.
And now you're here.
Neverland used to be a place
where new dreams were born.
You can bring that magic back, Henry.
And we can be your family.
I'd like to play a song,
a song for our guest of honor Henry.
You can hear
the music now, can't you, Henry?
Yeah!
