[ Enchanted Forest - Past Year ]
[SCENE_BREAK]
(A carriage, escorted by knight, crosses a forest. It is stopped by Hook.)
Knight: Whoa! And just who might you be?
Hook: I'm the man who's going to relieve you of that chest full of gold you are transporting.
Knight: You and what army?
Hook: Well, I'm glad you asked.
(Lights are lit.)
Hook: Your choice. Save your lives or the gold.
Knight: Retreat!
(The knight leaves.)
Hook: Smee?! Those arrows took a lot longer to light than discussed.
Smee: It wasn't easy lighting all of them by ourselves, captain. Maybe if we had an actual army...
Hook: And share in the spoils? I think not.
Smee: I got to say, it's good to be at your side again, sir, and... Not as a rat.
Hook: Well... that's a lovely side effect of the curse breaking for you, I'd imagine.
Smee: I did like the mobility, but being a human is good, too.
Hook: What did I tell you, mates? You don't need a ship to be a pirate.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(At the tavern.)
Hook: One more, one more!
(Oh!)
Hook: To the most clever, dastardly band of pirates to ever set sa... Stride on the open roads!
Smee: To captain Hook!
Everybody: Hey!
Smee: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! The boys and I chipped in...
Hook: Mm-hmm.
Smee: And got you something.
Hook: Oh. Mr. Smee. How did you know?
Smee: Enjoy. To captain Hook!
Everybody: To Hook!
Smee: Come on. One more.
(Outside the tavern. Hook gives the prostitute some money.)
The prostitute: I don't... Understand. Your men took care of me.
Hook: And tomorrow, you shall tell them that you had a grand time. Good night.
(Hook is walking in the street and he is hit by Ariel.)
Hook: Aah.
Ariel: Move, and I'll slit your throat.
Hook: Not a good plan for you. I'm guessing you don't know who I am.
Ariel: I know exactly who you are, Captain Hook.
Hook: Well, then, I'm at a disadvantage.
Ariel: My name's Ariel. And you're gonna pay for what you've done.

[ Storybrooke ]
[SCENE_BREAK]
(At Charming Family's loft.)
David: I've seen enemy battle plans that were easier to decode than this.
Emma: Let me see. All right, it says "take screws 'E' with washers 'D' "through bar 'C' using wrench 'F, '" which is... Not provided.
Mary Margaret: Why don't you just call Marco? He's really good at this sort of thing.
Emma & David: No!
David: No. We're fine.
Mary Margaret: Should we even be doing this? Ever since the showdown between Regina and the Wicked Witch, we haven't seen Zelena or Gold at all. Shouldn't we be focusing on her next move?
Emma: We are. We just can't stop living.
David: And this crib is a statement. We're not gonna lose another baby.
(Regina comes in.)
Regina: And, thanks to me, you won't. I'm finished.
David: So? Did it work? Were you able to put up a new protection spell?
Regina: One that can't be undone by blood magic, which means Zelena won't be able to put her hands on that baby.
Mary Margaret: Any idea why she would want to?
Regina: The number of spells involving baby parts would surprise you. That greenie is clearly one twisted witch. But as long as we're in here, we're safe.
Emma: That's useless. I think we need to stop playing defence and start taking the fight to her.
Regina: Did you not see how I barely outwitted her yesterday? She has magic... Powerful magic.
Emma: I have magic, too. You've seen me use it. I just can't always control it. But if we teamed up, if you... Taught me...
Regina: Now, why does this feel so familiar?
Emma: I'm ready this time.
Regina: Okay. But if we do this, we do this my way. This isn't drinking stale coffee at a stakeout or... Whatever you did as a bail bondsperson. This is a way of life. You have to fully commit to it.
Emma: Not a problem.
Regina: Meet me at my vault in two hours.
(Regina leaves.)
Emma: And no complaining. I'm doing this. It's the only way. And yes, I will be careful.
Mary Margaret: We know.
David: Don't worry. We'll watch Henry when he gets back from the store.
Emma: Actually... I'm not sure that's the best idea.
Mary Margaret: What? What is it?
Emma: Well, you guys are tired. You need to rest.
Mary Margaret: I'm pregnant. I'm not sick with the flu.
Emma: Yeah, I know. It's just, um... Well, it's... "Cradle cap." Last time you guys had him, you overwhelmed him with baby tips. He's 12. He's doesn't want to talk about pregnancies. It's not fun.
Mary Margaret: Oh, we're fun.
Emma: Well, I'm just saying maybe Henry disagrees.
Mary Margaret: No!
Emma: He'll get there. You got to remember, he doesn't know who you are.
David: Well, if we're not fun, who is?
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Hook is waiting for Smee at the harbour.)
Smee: Captain Hook. Captain.
Hook: It's about time, Mr. Smee. You know how much I abhor waiting. What is it that's so urgent?
Smee: It's just, um, me and the men were talking about how we haven't seen much of you since we all ended up back here.
Hook: Is there a point to that rather odd observation?
Smee: What's keeping us from crewing up again hitting the high seas, getting back to pirating?
Hook: You mean other than being attacked and turned into flying monkeys? Have you forgotten? There's no safe passage out of this town. You've already been a rodent, Mr. Smee. Does life as a simian interest you, as well?
Smee: Of course there's safe passage. We could outrun them.
Hook: Not with that torso of yours.
Smee: If we had a fast enough ship. The Jolly Roger, for instance. You still haven't told me whether you found her during the time none of us can remember.
Hook: What happened during that time isn't important.
Smee: Because you remember. Is our ship okay? What... What happened to it?
Hook: My ship. All you need to know, Mr. Smee, is that the Jolly Roger isn't here. So there will be no outrunning of anything.
Smee: I mean, what if we found another ship? Any one of these...
Hook: Mr. Smee, I've tried letting you down easy. Now let me be more direct. I have no intention of leaving this town.
Smee: Captain, I agree with you This place has its bright spots. I have never tried anything quite like frozen yogurt before. But the Wicked Witch is here. And with that sort of danger, what possible reason do you have to stay?
Hook: My reasons are my own. Question them again at your peril.
(Emma and Henry arrive.)
Smee: Sir.
Emma: Wait here, okay? Didn't he used to be a rat?
Hook: Aye. In many ways, he still is. To what do I owe the pleasure, Swan?
Emma: Um... I was wondering if you could take care of Henry again.
Hook: If you want to get close to me, you just need to ask. There's no need to use the lad as an excuse.
Emma: Why am I not surprised you're making this about you? I need your help, 'cause Regina needs to train me in magic. We think together, we might be able to defeat the Wicked Witch.
Hook: That's the first reasonable plan I've heard since this all began. Magic is a part of you, Swan. Don't forget... I was there when Cora tried to steal your heart. I saw the power inside of you. It's about time you embraced it. It's what makes you the Saviour.
Emma: I'm not embracing anything. I need to learn magic to defeat Zelena and make sure everyone here is safe. After that, I'm done.
Hook: Done with what, exactly?
Emma: He doesn't belong here... Not anymore. He belongs in the real world, in New York, and the life that he remembers. It was good. And it didn't involve vile villains.
Hook: What about the life you remember? You can't just pretend like this never happened. Trust me. I spent the last year trying to do just that... Return to the person I used to be... And it didn't work.
Emma: Why? What happened over the last year that you're not telling me?
Hook: It matters not. Just take it from me just this once. No matter how much you wish you could go back to your old life... You can't.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Mary Margaret and David are walking on the beach.)
David: We can't just sit back and do nothing.
Mary Margaret: You're right. We can be as fun as... As any pirate captain.
David: Exactly. Henry obviously did a lot of growing up in the past year. We just have to... Adjust accordingly.
Mary Margaret: What's going on?
(A group surrounds Ariel.)
Somebody: Does anyone know what happened?
Somebody: She just washed up onshore.
Mary Margaret: Who did? Who's here? Ariel?
[SCENE_BREAK]
(On the beach.)
Mary Margaret: Where have you been? We thought you'd been turned into a monkey.
Ariel: A monkey? No. I'm a girl that turns into a fish.
David: Yeah, we... We know. What happened to you?
Ariel: I've been under the sea... Searching. I've travelled to every known realm looking for Prince Eric.
David: So he's missing? For how long?
Ariel: After Pan failed, I woke up here, like everybody else. I... I couldn't find him. I didn't understand what happened until I overheard everybody saying that we had all gone to the Enchanted Forest and been there for a year without knowing it.
David: So you still don't know what happened to him?
Ariel: That's why I came back here. I thought maybe I'd overlooked something, that he'd be here, but... Obviously, you haven't seen him.
Mary Margaret: We're sorry. We've been trying to piece together what happened. All we know is that we're up against Regina's sister, the Wicked Witch.
Ariel: Do you think that she might be responsible for Prince Eric's disappearance?
Mary Margaret: Without our memories, it's impossible to know everything.
David: Maybe for us, but what about Hook?
Ariel: The pirate?
Mary Margaret: Yes. He wasn't part of the witch's curse. He has his memories. Maybe he can... I don't know... Shed some light on what happened to Prince Eric.
Ariel: Well, do you think he'd help me?
Mary Margaret: He helped us save Henry. I don't know why not.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Enchanted Forest - Past Year ]
[SCENE_BREAK]
(In the street.)
Hook: Fear of adding insult to injury, would you mind catching me up on your particular grievance?
Ariel: You kidnapped Prince Eric, and you're gonna return him to me. Now on your feet!
Hook: Kidnapping a prince does sound like something I would do, but... I'm afraid you've got the wrong pirate. Or should I say the wrong pirate has you?
Ariel: Go ahead... Kill me. But I still know you're lying. One of Eric's men escaped, so I know the ship that took him was yours... the Jolly Roger.
Hook: The Jolly Roger? Are you certain? Answer me!
Ariel: You really didn't take him.
Hook: What else do you know about who's captaining my ship? Did that man tell you anything else?!
Ariel: Only that he was able to escape with a weapon that he stole from the armoury... The dagger that's against my throat.
(Hook watches the dagger, he laughs and leaves.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Mr Smee is sleeping in the tavern. Hook enters.)
Hook: Rise and shine, you bilge rats! No offense, Mr. Smee.
Smee: None taken. I keep dreaming of cheese. What is it?
Hook: I know who has the Jolly Roger, and we're gonna take her back.
Smee: Whose funeral shall we be attending, sir?
Hook: Black Beard.
Smee: Black Beard? But... He's the most cutthroat pirate ever to hoist a sail. Uh... After you, of course.
Hook: Which will make it all the more satisfying when I take my ship back and make him walk her lovely plank.
Smee: Let's not be hasty. We've been having fun robbing carriages. Getting rich from it, too. M... M... Maybe we should forget about the Jolly Roger. You said it yourself. We don't need a ship to be...
Hook: She's not just a ship.
Smee: I'm fairly certain she is.
Hook: She's more than that. I haven't been myself since we've returned. I should have realized the reason why. It's because I don't have her.
Smee: "Her"? You talk about the vessel as though she's a woman.
Hook: Women come and go, Mr. Smee, but a pirate's life... It's forever.
Smee: Still, captain... I doubt we could even find Black Beard...
Hook: Don't be a coward! I know where he moors his vessels. It's less than a day's trek. And then I'll have my ship again.
Ariel: And I will have my prince.
Hook: Few people have held a dagger to my throat and lived to tell the tale. I'd leave before I change my mind.
Ariel: No. I've crossed paths with enough pirates to know your code. Any valuable information a pirate captain ascertains shall be compensated in equal favour.
Smee: I think she's right.
Ariel: So... When do we leave?
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Storybrooke ]
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Hook and Henry are at Granny's Diner. They dice. Hook always wins.)
Hook: You want to know the secret to winning?
Henry: Practice?
Hook: No, my boy. Loaded dice.
Henry: That's cheating.
Hook: Only if you get caught.
Henry: I think it's cheating either way.
Hook: Point is, you win. "Practice," huh?
(David, Mary Margaret and Ariel enter in the Diner. Hook goes see them.)
David: Uh, Hook, this is a friend of ours... Ariel. She's looking for someone who didn't return to Storybrooke with the rest of us.
Ariel: He's from a maritime kingdom, and he loved to sail. Perhaps... You came across him on the high seas? His name's Prince Eric.
Hook: Sorry, lass. I wish I could help, but I've never heard of him.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(At Regina's vault.)
Regina: Don't touch anything.
Emma: How am I supposed to learn magic if I can't touch anything?
Regina: The same way I did with Rumple. We're going to create a solid foundation first and then build your skills from the ground up. I said "don't touch." So, while we're here, who's looking after Henry? The Un-Charmings?
Emma: Actually, Hook is.
Regina: Well, those two have been spending a lot of time together lately.
Emma: Hook's good with Henry, and Henry likes him.
Regina: He's prone to violence, impulsive, and has a hook for a hand. What about him would a 12-year-old boy not like?
Emma: I trust him. He brought me back to Storybrooke, and he didn't have to.
Regina: Oh. Of course he brought you back.
Emma: What's that supposed to mean?
Regina: Seriously? You're going to pretend everyone doesn't see the yearning looks and doe-y eyes?
Emma: I don't yearn.
Regina: Well, maybe. But he does. Let's start with roots for incantations.
(Regina shows Emma her mother's book of magic.)
Emma: Are you kidding me right now? What language is this... Spanish?
Regina: We're not making tapas. We're making magic. It's Elvish. Well, half Elvish.
Emma: I'm never gonna get this. Is this how Rumple taught you? Just think about your training. What other methods did he use?
Regina: Rumple was a bully. He didn't suffer fools, and he certainly didn't coddle his students. And if he tried to teach you how to swim and you couldn't learn, you drowned.
Emma: Drowned?
Regina: That's it.
Emma: That's what?
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Regina used her powers to transport Emma and her on a bridge.)
Emma: What the hell are you doing?!
Regina: Teaching you to swim.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(At Granny's Diner.)
David: Come on. Think hard, Hook. Are you sure you can't remember anything that can be useful?
Hook: My apologies, mate, but if I'd run across a prince during my adventure, I think I'd remember it.
Ariel: I just... I don't understand. How could he vanish without a trace?
Mary Margaret: That's it. Maybe he didn't.
David: What do you mean?
Mary Margaret: When the curse brought us back here, it brought our things, too. Gold's shop is filled with them.
David: And if we find something of Eric's, we can use a locator spell to track him.
Ariel: Let's go.
Hook: Sounds like a plan. Best of luck with that.
Mary Margaret: Oh, wait, no. You should come with us. You might remember something that we won't... Or can't. You'd be far more helpful than us.
Hook: Well, someone has to keep an eye on the boy.
David: Well, Mary Margaret and I can take over. Could we... Have a talk for a moment?
(Hook and David go apart.)
David: What is it?
Hook: You sure this is such a good idea, mate? Let's be honest... There's only one obvious explanation why the little mermaid here can't find her prince. He's dead. There's no reason to ply her with false hope.
David: In my experience, there's no such thing. You just have to believe. Now go. Good luck.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Enchanted Forest - Past Year ]
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Hook, Ariel and Mr Smee are walking into the woods.)
Ariel: Trudge, trudge, trudge. If you ask me, there's nothing more boring than land travel. I'll take my tail in the ocean any day.
Hook: That's one thing we can agree on... Minus the tail, of course. You won't be bored for much longer. Our destination is just past this rise.
Ariel: Then it won't be long until I'm reunited...
Hook: Here. Allow me.
Ariel: You've ripped it!
Hook: It's a cloak.
Ariel: It's Eric's cloak. And he's had it since before we met. He left it with me while he was away to keep him close, and now you have ruined it!
Hook: If mending a cloak is our biggest obstacle, we're in fine shape. You realize you might not find him... Or survive?
Ariel: I will.
Hook: Didn't you see the fear Black Beard's name struck into my crew? You don't become a pirate captain through mercy. If I were you, I would prepare myself for the worst.
Ariel: Why? What are you saying... That you would kill Eric if you had him?
Hook: You don't believe that?
Ariel: Well, honestly, I was a little surprised to hear that you might be responsible for Eric's kidnapping... After the stories that I've heard.
Hook: What stories?
Ariel: Well, the ones of you helping reunite Snow White and her family in Neverland. Some people say that you're a hero.
Hook: Don't believe every story you hear.
Ariel: Being good is nothing to be ashamed of. People change. Look at me. I have legs, and I fell in love with a human. I don't think anyone saw that coming.
Hook: You may have changed. I haven't. I'm a pirate, and I always will be.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Storybrooke ]
[SCENE_BREAK]
(At Mr Gold's shop.)
Ariel: Belle?
Belle: Ariel? Where... Where have you been? I... I was... I was worried I'd never see you again.
Ariel: I've been looking for Eric. He's been missing since we all returned.
Hook: We were hoping we could find something of his here.
Belle: Oh, of course... To see if he's in Storybrooke.
Ariel: Have you seen anything of his?
Belle: I, um, I only just started sorting through things, but, uh... Don't despair. Let's... Let's start looking.
(They start to look.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Hook enters in the back room.)
Hook: I've been wondering where you went.
(He uses his telescope and the button of Eric's cloak. Ariel and Belle enter.)
Ariel: That's Eric's. How did you know that was his?
Hook: I, uh... I wasn't sure. I saw the sea-creature clasp and remembered he was from a maritime kingdom.
Ariel: He is. He was. And now he's here.
(Ariel hugs Hook.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
(On the bridge.)
Emma: Are you out of your mind?!
Regina: Every time you've exhibited your power, it's been spurred by your instincts. So today, we're going to push those instincts until you master them.
Emma: A little reading doesn't sound so bad now.
Regina: You can stop me.
Emma: Stop you from what?
Regina: This.
(Regina destroys the bridge.)
Emma: What the hell are you doing?!
Regina: Making the bridge collapse. You can either stop it... Or die.
Emma: Aah! Regina! Enough! Stop this!
Regina: No, you stop it. No more hand-holding. You have to do this. Reach into your gut. You know you can do this. It's inside you, Emma. Save the bridge. Save yourself.
Emma: Aaaaah!
(Emma falls but she uses her powers to build a bridge which brings her to Regina.)
Emma: Did I... Did I just do that?
Regina: Yes. When all I wanted was for you to retie the rope.
Emma: It was like you said... Instinct. Why are you pissed? I did it. Why does it matter how?
Regina: You think I'm mad because you didn't listen to me? I'm mad because... Look at all this potential inside of you, and you've been wasting it.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(At Mr Gold's shop. Belle pours a potion on Eric's cloak.)
Belle: This is a locator spell, so whatever object it's poured on becomes enchanted and returns itself to its rightful owner.
Ariel: Thank you, Belle. I know that you've been busy trying to find a way to break your Mr. Gold out of the Witch's control. You didn't have to do this.
Belle: No, I... I did. You know. Perhaps a little good news around here will be contagious.
(The cloak flies away.)
Ariel: Let's go!
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Enchanted Forest - Past Year ]
[SCENE_BREAK]
(On the docks, near the Jolly Roger.)
Hook: Up close, she's even more beautiful than I remember. Don't worry, my dear. You'll soon be back in my loving arms.
Ariel: You do realize you're talking to a boat?
Hook: You have your love. I have mine.
Smee: So, how are we gonna get on board, Captain? Black Beard's crew outnumbers us.
Hook: I'll show you.
(Hook stands up. He stuns a pirate and goes on board.)
Hook: Stand at attention, mates! Now boarding the ship... The rightful captain of the Jolly Roger. Now, if the coward who tried stealing her from me would kindly show his face, I'll give him the punishment he deserves.
Black Beard: Gladly. But it's not me who'll be punished. You want your ship back? Then take it.
Hook: With pleasure.
(Hook and Black Beard fight.)
Black Beard: I was afraid you weren't gonna show up. Word on the waterways is Captain Hook had gone soft.
Hook: The only thing soft will be your guts spilling on this deck. I'd never give up the Jolly Roger without a fight.
(Hook and Black Beard continue the fight.)
Hook: You think you know the ship?
Black Beard: Oh, every inch of it... I assure you.
Hook: If that was the case... You'd know not to step there!
Black Beard: Aah!
(Black Beard is trapped.)
Hook: Oh, I've been meaning to fix that.
Black Beard: Finish it!
Hook: Fancy a shave, do we? Well, I'll be happy to oblige.
Ariel: Wait! Eric's not on board. You have to get him to tell you where he is.
Hook: You heard the lady. Where is he?
Black Beard: So, that's what this was... A rescue mission for some wench? Ha! They were right about you, Hook. You have gone soft.
Hook: I can either make this painful... Or quite painful. Now answer!
Black Beard: I have him stashed safe and sound on a deserted island. Only I know where. I was planning to ransom him when the time was right.
Ariel: Whatever it is, I'll pay it.
Black Beard: Money's not what I'm after anymore.
Ariel: Then what is it that you want?
Black Beard: The satisfaction of proving Captain Hook is no longer a pirate.
Hook: How are you gonna prove that?
Black Beard: By giving you a choice. Surrender the Jolly Roger to me, and I'll tell you where I'm holding her prince. Or refuse, and he dies along with me.
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Storybrooke ]
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Hook and Ariel follow Eric's cloak across Storybrooke's street.)
Ariel: We must be getting close. Maybe he's on one of these boats.
(The cloak dives into the see.)
Ariel: It must be searching. If the spell worked and... It's taken us to Eric, then... He's gone.
Hook: I'm sorry.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(In the street.)
Mary Margaret: Are you sure this is a good idea?
David: You said you wanted to take action, so we're taking action.
Mary Margaret: Well...
David: Mary Margaret... Our grandson would rather spend time with a pirate than us, but not after today.
Mary Margaret: It's dangerous... Not to mention illegal!
David: It couldn't be safer. And as far as legality, I'm the sheriff.
(David joins Henry in the car.)
Henry: So, are you sure this is okay?
David: Well, if Killian can teach you how to steal a boat, I can teach you how to drive.
Henry: Technically, we borrowed it.
David: Well, what do you say we see how you can handle a land vessel? Okay. Steady, steady. There you go. All right. Steady. Steady.
Henry: I... I got it. I got it.
David: Steady. Steady.
Henry: Okay.
David: Watch out!
(Henry crashes into a mail box.)
Mary Margaret: Oh!
[SCENE_BREAK]
(On the docks.)
Ariel: I saved Eric from the sea once before. I just never thought that I would lose him to it in the end.
Hook: A sailor couldn't hope for a better resting place.
Ariel: Thank you.
Hook: I didn't do anything.
Ariel: You found Eric's cloak. I would have never stopped looking for him. At least now I know that our story's over. I just wish I knew how it ended. You're more than a pirate, Hook. You have a true heart. I'll always be grateful that you tried to help me.
(Ariel leaves.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Enchanted Forest - Past Year ]
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Hook is about to push Black Beard under the sea but Ariel stops him.)
Ariel: You can't do this. We had an agreement. You promised me that you would help find Eric. Please. I know that you are a good man, and I know that man Is still in there somewhere. It's not too late to do the right thing. Isn't true love more important than a few planks of wood and a sail?
Hook: She might just be a few planks and a sail, but she's mine. She's all I need. Love brings nothing but wasted years and endless torment. I'm doing you a favour. A little something to whet the appetite of our razor-toothed friends below.
(Hook pushes Black Beard.)
Ariel: No!!
Hook: Enjoy the feast, boys! The Jolly Roger is mine! Any man willing to swear an oath to me shall be given quarter. Those who don't, you're welcome to follow your former captain.
The crew: Captain Hook!
Hook: You may release her, Mr. Smee.
Ariel: I was wrong about you, Captain. You're selfish, and you're heartless. And that is what will bring you wasted years and endless torment. I feel sorry for you. You'll never be happy.
Hook: Where do you think you're going?
Ariel: Eric's still out there, and whatever it takes, I will find him.
(Ariel dives into the ocean.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
[ Storybrooke ]
[SCENE_BREAK]
(On the docks.)
Hook: Ariel! Wait!
Ariel: What is it?
Hook: I have a confession. I haven't been entirely truthful with you... With myself. You and I met before. Our paths crossed during the missing year.
Ariel: What?
Hook: Eric had been kidnapped by the pirate Black Beard. You asked me to find him.
Ariel: I... I don't understand. Why didn't you say anything?
Hook: Because I was too ashamed. I sacrificed saving your prince for my ship. I am so sorry, Ariel.
Ariel: You're a coward! And a monster! You let a man die for your ship?! What kind of person does that?
Hook: The kind who's empty, who believes that a ship can fill a void left by a broken heart.
Ariel: And that makes it okay?!
Hook: No, it doesn't. I would give anything to take it back, to make things right.
Ariel: Anything?
Hook: Yes... Anything.
Ariel: How am I supposed to trust a man who no longer believes in love?
Hook: I still do.
Ariel: Then swear to me on it. This woman that broke your heart... Do you still love her?
Hook: Yes.
Ariel: Then swear to me on her name.
Hook: I swear on Emma Swan.
Ariel: Thank you, Captain. That's exactly what I needed to hear.
(Ariel uses magic to curse Hook's lips.)
Hook: What the hell?
(Then she turns into Zelena.)
Hook: Zelena? It was you. Where's Ariel?
Zelena: Relax. She was never really here. After she left you on your beloved ship, she actually found where Black Beard had been keeping her prince.
Hook: She found him? How do you know that?
Zelena: My spies are always circling, Captain, through every realm... Always circling. She found him on Hangman's Island, which was outside the force of the curse. They've been living happily ever after ever since. Don't you just love a good twist?
Hook: I don't understand. Why would you pretend to be her?
Zelena: To corrupt your love. As I said earlier, I've known about your dirty little secret for quite some time... Seen the guilt on your face over the decision you made that day. I knew it haunted you. And I knew I could use it.
Hook: Use it for what?
Zelena: When you invoked the name of your love in a selfish plea for redemption, I was able to curse you... More specifically, your kiss. See, the next time your lips touch Emma Swan's, all of her magic will be taken. Everything that makes her special, that makes her powerful, that makes her a threat will be gone.
Hook: I won't do it. I'll tell her. And she'll defeat you.
Zelena: Then I'll send The Dark One to kill her before you can.
Hook: No... You won't... If you could have killed her, you would have. You need her power removed. It's why you didn't kill her when she came to the town. It's why you had a monkey look after her in New York instead of killing her. For some reason... You can't.
Zelena: It no longer matters, because you're going to remove her powers. I may not be able to hurt Emma, but I can hurt those around her... Her parents, her friends... Her child.
Hook: Do not go near them.
Zelena: Oh, yes. You've become quite fond of the boy, haven't you? I will enjoy turning him into a monkey's breakfast.
Hook: I'll stop you.
Zelena: No, you won't. That pointy, little hook of yours can scratch a mere mortal, but me? You're out of your depth, pirate. The choice is yours. Kiss Emma and remove her powers or everyone she loves dies.
(Zelena disappears.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Hook knocks on the Charming Family's door. Emma opens.)
Hook: Swan? I didn't expect to see you here.
Emma: What do you mean? Where's Henry? Is everything all right?
Hook: He's fine. He's with his grandparents. I thought they might be back here.
Emma: We haven't seen them. If you're not with Henry, what have you been doing all day?
Hook: I was enlisted to help Ariel find her lost prince.
Regina: Really? That fish is in Storybrooke?
Hook: She was, yes. And we found a clue in Gold's shop which led us to discover that Eric had been shipwrecked on Hangman's Island, just off the coast of the Enchanted Forest.
Emma: Zelena's curse must not have reached that far.
Hook: Ariel's on her way there now. She wanted me to say goodbye to Mary Margaret for her.
Regina: Oh. At the rate mermaids swim, she's probably already there. In fact, let's find out.
Emma: I thought you couldn't use mirror magic to look between worlds.
Regina: I can't. But after seeing the raw power you possess, I think maybe you can.
Hook: There's no need. I'm sure she's fine. Anyway, it's bad form to spy on such a private affair.
Emma: How do I do it?
Regina: Well, you've focused. You've let emotions awaken your power. Now you have to look inward.
(The see Ariel and Eric, happy, on the mirror.)
Emma: You did this? You brought them together?
Hook: No. It was Ariel. She never stopped believing.
Emma: Modesty? You're just full of surprises today.
(Henry, David and Mary Margaret enter.)
Emma: Where have you guys been?
Henry: Only having the best day ever. David let me drive his truck.
Regina: You let him what?! Oh. A... As mayor, I can't let an unlicensed, underage driver on the streets of Storybrooke.
David: As mayor, you might want to throw a little money at road repair.
Regina: Excuse me?
David: Nothing.
Regina: This is a terrible mistake.
Emma: She's right. Someone could have been seriously hurt.
Mary Margaret: Only if you're a mailbox.
Henry: It was so much fun.
David: What can I say? I've got a reckless, carefree... Fun side.
Mary Margaret: Killian? Where's our friend?
Hook: It turns out her missing... Husband was back home after all.
Emma: It's true. We just checked in on them on... Skype.
Hook: She sends her regards, but she was too excited to wait.
Mary Margaret: A happy ending. Well, maybe our luck's about to change. Dinner at Granny's?
Henry: Can I drive?
Emma & Regina: No!
Hook: Well, I guess I'll leave you guys to it.
Emma: You're not coming?
Hook: Another time, perhaps.
Emma: Well, if you change your mind, you know where we'll be. And, Killian... Whatever happened this past year, whatever you're not telling me... I don't care. I'm tired of living in the past.
Hook: I know how you feel.
(Hook leaves.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
(The Charming Family and Regina have diner at Granny's. Hook is in the street, he watches Emma with his telescope.)


"To Serve and Protect" 33rd Episode of Roswell
Production Code: 2ADA11
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Episode opens on Max and Isabel at home flipping through television channels)
Isabel: There's nothing on.
Max: We must have 50 channels.
Isabel: Crap. . .Crap. . .
Max: Uh Huh.
Isabel: Boring.
Max: Uh Huh.
Isabel: I'm going to take a stroll; see what people are dreaming.
Max: Haven't you been over doing that lately?
Isabel: Take it easy. It's harmless.
Max: It's just not a very nice thing to do.
(Isabel leaves, Max yells after her.)
Max: Stay away from Liz, please.
(He continues flipping through channels)
Max: Crap. . .Crap. . .Crap. . .
(Isabel is on her bed looking through her yearbook and stops at Liz's picture. We enter Liz's dream at the Crashdown. A young man enters.)
Brad: Hello, Liz.
Liz: Hello, Brad.
(Brad lifts her up, and sets her on the counter. Liz lies down.)
Liz: Would you like fries with that.
(Brad and Liz start kissing. Max shows up behind the counter)
Liz: I'm with Brad now.
Max: Brad doesn't even exist. Besides, you want someone who can do this.
(Max gestures toward the ceiling and rose petals start to fall. Liz and Max kiss.)
Liz: Oh my!
Isabel: Even her romantic dreams are boring.
(Back to Isabel's room. She looks through the yearbook again and stops on Kyle.)
Isabel: Kyle's got to be more interesting than that.
(We enter Kyle's dream. He's on a mountaintop in a Lotus position with BUDDHA.)
Buddha: Remember young blossom, my most important words.
Kyle: Yes, master.
Buddha: To thine own self be true.
Isabel: It's Shakespeare.
Buddha: With every inhale find the center of yourself. With every exhale release the ties that bind your energy. Inhale. . .Exhale. . .Inhale. . .
(BUDDHA is interrupted by a cell phone beeping.)
Buddha: Excuse me. BUDDHA here. Yeah. When? Prepare the ship. Standby to beam us aboard.
Kyle: Master?
Buddha: Our enemies have arrived, Kyle. We must leave Earth and face the dark legion.
Kyle: No, no, no, no. I'm here for inner peace, not that science fiction crap.
Buddha: Max Evans changed you when he saved your life. You know that. You're an alien now Kyle. Dude, like, accept you destiny.
Kyle: No, I'm not!
(Kyle looks down at his hand and it has become green and slimy.)
Kyle: Ahhhhh!
(Switch back to Isabel's room, where she enters another dream in a forest with flashes of light.)
Isabel: Where am I? Kyle, who's dream is this?
(We see a man dragging a screaming girl in a black plastic bag. Isabel wakes up in a panic.)
(Opening credits)
(Open on Sheriff Valenti's office, the next morning.)
Voice (O.C.): Excuse me. I'm looking for a broken-down, old, war-horse somehow managed to make Sheriff of Roswell, New Mexico.
Valenti: Hansen, send that sanctimonious paper-pusher in here before I have him arrested for vagrancy.
(Man enters)
Dan: Damn son, you are getting old.
Valenti: Real police work will do that to you, Dan. You should try it some time.
Dan: Now, that hurts. Long time, Jimbo.
Valenti: Too long. So, I take it this isn't a social call.
Dan: The state police board wants to review the Hubble shooting. VALENTI: Hubble? Well, it's an open and shut case. Crazy old man with a gun in the desert. It was over a year ago. Why investigate that?
Dan: Wheels of justice grind slowly.
Valenti: Do I need a lawyer?
Dan: Whoa, easy, no need to get all riled up now.
Valenti: That was a clean shoot, Dan.
Dan: If you say so.
(Change to Crashdown. Tess is having breakfast with Kyle. She pours Tabasco sauce on her waffles with whip cream and strawberries, and in her orange juice.)
Kyle: That's a very alien thing, isn't it? The very sweet, very spicy? TESS: Uh huh.
Kyle: Can I try a bite?
Tess: You won't like it.
Kyle: Oh, I hope not.
(Kyle takes a taste)
Kyle: Oh my God.
Tess: I told you.
Kyle: No,no,no. It's not completely horrible. It's almost tasty.
Tess: Oh well, here. Have some more.
Kyle: No, no, I can't. This is so wrong. I'm not ready for this.
Tess: Not ready for what?
Kyle: For the change. Not ready to be, like, a half-human, half-alien freakazoid.
Tess: Uh, we prefer the term 'hybrids'.
Kyle: I'm serious. Look, I never bargained for this. One minute I'm a normal guy with my whole life ahead of me the next thing I know, Max Evans transmogrifies me into something not-of-this-Earth.
Tess: Whoa, whoa, trans-what?
Kyle: Look, I never asked for this.
Tess: Well, I suppose he could have let you die. Is that what you want? KYLE: If I had died, I would have transcended the mortal plane and been reincarnated into the next stage of my life.
Tess: Reincarnated as what, exactly?
Kyle: Like, just another person or animal, maybe.
Tess: An animal? Like, you could have ended up a gopher or something! KYLE: Look, we're getting off the point. I really need some help.
Tess: What do you want from me? I don't know what's going to happen to you. You know, maybe nothing will happen. Or maybe you could develop superpowers and start flying all over Roswell in a big cape. I don't know!
(Kyle reaches for Tess' waffles.)
Kyle: Could I have another-
Tess: No!
(Isabel and Max are talking to Sheriff Valenti in his office.)
Valenti: Alright, let me get this straight. You can go into people's dreams?
Isabel: Yes. But usually I choose whose dreams I go into. This one just came to me.
Valenti: Well, how do you know this was real, not just somebody's nightmare you stumbled into?
Isabel: I don't know, but it felt real. She needs help.
Max: Sheriff, when Tess was being tortured Isabel got flashes from her, and that's how she knew Tess was in danger. That's how we saved her life. We should check into this.
Valenti: It's a little hard to look for a missing girl without a name or a face.
(Dan knocks and enters)
Dan: Hey, Senor Chows for lunch?
Valenti: Yeah, that'd be fine.
(Dan looks with interest at Max and Isabel.)
Dan: Hi.
Max: Hi.
Valenti: I'll see you at 1:00, Dan.
(Dan exits)
Max: Who was that?
Valenti: From the State Police Board. He's reviewing the Hubble case. Max: Hubble?
Valenti: It's no big deal. Dan's an old friend. I'll tell you what. I'll look into it, Okay?
Isabel: Thank you.
(Dan and Valenti are having lunch at Senor Chows.)
Valenti: When I ordered him to put his weapon down, he uh. . . he refused, brought the gun up. I felt my life was in imminent danger, so I fired.
Dan: Hmm, just like it says in your report. (Dan signals a waiter) Uh, could we have more of these sweet and sour tortillas? They're good, different, but good. So, uh, who were those kids in your office this morning?
Valenti: Nobody. Stolen bike.
Dan: Hmm, What were their names again?
Valenti: Max and Isabel Evans. DAN: Max Evans. . .hmm, I got a statement here says that Hubble was last seen in a car with Max Evans, before the shooting.
Valenti: Whose statement?
Dan: Was Max Evans there that night?
Valenti: No.
Dan: Okay Jim, that's all I need to hear.
(Move to the Crashdown. Liz is serving food to some customers)
Liz: Okay, Umm, we have a Saturn Rings and a Galaxy Sub, hold the Max. (Liz looks at Maria as she realizes her mistake) Okay, so I'll be right back with the Cokes.
(Maria pulls Liz aside.)
Maria: Okay, what just happened?
Liz: I need help. I'm sick, Okay. I am an obsessed person.
Maria: Okay, is this a general freakout or should I be concerned?
Liz: No, I have Max on my brain 24 hours a day. Okay, I dream about him, I think about him, and now I'm saying his friggin' name without even realizing it. What am I going to do?
Maria: You're in love that's all.
Liz: I know, but it's not getting me anywhere.
Maria: Okay relax, relax, Liz. It's not that bad. I promise.
Liz: Not that bad? Really? Why don't you look at this?
(Liz pulls out two pictures of Max from her apron pockets.)
Liz: See! Obsession, obsession, obsession, obsession!
Maria: Okay, okay, you're a Max-aholic. I'm here for you. What can I do?
Liz: Get me a life.
(a new guy enters the Crashdown.)
Maria: Oh, you gotta be kidding me. When did you get out?
Sean: This morning.
Maria: You didn't break out did you?
Sean: I got a release, good behavior.
Maria: That's a first. You don't think that you're going to stay with us do you?
Sean: Oh, uh, Aunt Amy already gave it the thumbs up.
Maria: She is such a soft touch, isn't she?
Sean: Hi, Liz.
Liz: Hey, Sean.
Sean: All grown up. Like it. I'll see you at home.
Maria: It's not your home.
(Evans House. Grant Sorenson is flipping through TV channels as Max walks in with a look of distrust.)
Max: Grant.
Grant: Hey, Max.
Max: You're uh. . .
Grant: Waiting for Isabel.
Max: Oh, right. I'll go check on her.
(Max enters Isabel's room. Isabel is hurriedly going through her closest of clothes picking out something to wear.)
Max: You know, Grant's downstairs.
Isabel: I know.
Max: Do you really like that guy?
Isabel: Don't start with me, Max.
Max: What's wrong?
Isabel: I just. . .I've been thinking about that girl all day. You know? It was different. It was like she was dreamwalking me.
Max: You mean, like, she's an alien?
Isabel: No, no, I don't think so.
Max: Well, maybe you should cancel your date.
Isabel: You know how many times I have cancelled in the last month? I have no more excuses.
Max: Well, tell him the truth. You've been battling evil aliens for control of the planet and it's hard to fit him in.
Isabel: Funny. No, no, I want a normal date with a normal guy tonight. I'm going, so just. . .just tell him I'll be ready in five minutes. Okay? Five minutes.
Max: Five minutes.
Isabel: Yeah, five minutes. Okay? Thank you.
(Valenti living room. Kyle is sitting in front of the TV, which is off. He tries out his alien powers by raising his hand toward the screen. Tess walks up behind him and sees what he is doing, so she picks up the remote control and turns the TV on.)
Kyle: Oh God, jeez.
(Tess laughs quietly to herself and Kyle tries again.)
Kyle: Channel 15.
(Tess changes the channel with the remote.)
Kyle: Channel 23
(Tess changes the channel)
Kyle: Unscrambled p0rn.
(Tess changes again, and Kyle jumps up in triumph.)
Kyle: I have become -
(he turns and sees Tess behind him.)
Kyle: an idiot.
Tess: Oh, but a cute one. Hey
(Tess tosses the remote to Kyle)
(Switch to the movies with Isabel and Grant. Isabel rolls her head from side to side.)
Grant: You sore?
Isabel: Yeah.
(Grant massages her neck.)
Isabel: Thank you.
(Isabel lays her head on Grant's shoulder and closes her eyes. Suddenly she gets another flash of a young blond girl being kidnapped as she goes to her car. We see drugs and a syringe. Next we see her being dragged in a black bag, by a man. Isabel sits up with a yell.)
Grant: You okay?
Isabel: Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm sorry.
(Isabel and Max are in Valenti's livingroom later that night.)
Isabel: I need to find her. She's in trouble. She's going to die.
Valenti: I thought you weren't sure.
Isabel: It's real Sheriff. I know it's happening.
Max: You have to find her.
Valenti: Find who? What missing girl? No one's been reported. I don't know what she looks like. I don't have any leads. . .
Isabel: I saw her car. It's silver.
Valenti: Did you see the plates?
Isabel: No, but it's a Honda, or a Toyota, or something. I'm not good with cars.
Valenti: Okay, I guess I could start looking through the abandoned vehicle reports. See if it's turned up. Okay?
Isabel: Thank you. I'm sorry for barging in like this.
Valenti: Hey, hey. It's Okay, alright?
Isabel: Thank you.
(As Isabel leaves Max talks to the sheriff.)
Max: I know how all this must look.
Valenti: I believe her. I do. I just don't know how realistic it is to think that I'm going to be able to find this girl with this evidence.
Max: I know. Thanks.
(As Max leaves the sheriff makes a phone call.)
Valenti: Hansen, I'm coming in.
(Valenti enters the Crashdown on his way in to the station and sits at the counter by a woman.)
Valenti: Large coffee and a warp wrap to go please.
Judith Foster: Working late Jim?
Valenti: Yep
Judith Foster: Great match your boy had the other night.
Valenti: Yeah, two take downs. Not bad, huh?
Judith Foster: Just like his father. Remember that match against the Rangers?
Valenti: My God, how do you remember these things?
Judith Foster: I had a crush on you, or didn't you notice?
Valenti: I noticed your boyfriend.
Judith Foster: I like to call him my husband now.
Valenti: How's your girl?
Judith Foster: Melissa? Fine, just fine. . . I think.
Valenti: Something wrong?
Judith Foster: No, it's nothing I'm sure. She went to visit some friends in Santa Fe yesterday and she hasn't called home yet. I know I shouldn't be concerned, but she always calls. Oh, I'm being silly.
Valenti: Melissa drives a silver car doesn't she?
Judith Foster: Yeah, Toyota. Why?
(Sheriff's station later that night. A deputy is interviewing the woman as Sheriff Valenti enters giving orders.)
Valenti: You contacted all the Foster girl's friends yet? I need to know if she turns up.
Deputy: OKAY
(Valenti turns to another officer.)
Valenti: Get highway patrol on the horn. I want every inch of 285 covered.
(Valenti hands papers to another officer)
Valenti: Plate numbers. Run them.
(Switch to Mrs. Foster being interviewed)
Mrs. Foster: She had an overnight bag and a cosmetics case. Deputy: Does she have a cell phone?
Mrs. Foster: No. I took it away from her. She was spending too much money.
(Dan enters)
Dan: Hey, how's it going?
Valenti: Busy. Judith, you have that picture?
Mrs. Foster: Yeah, it's right here.
(Valenti turns back to Dan.)
Valenti: What's up?
Dan: Heard about the missing girl. You're really circling up the wagons here.
Valenti: Just doing my job. Excuse me.
(Valenti opens his office door.)
Dan: Who you got in there?
(Valenti turns back and looks at Dan but doesn't answer, then continues into his office and closes the door. Max and Isabel are waiting. He hands Isabel a picture of Melissa Foster.)
Valenti: Is this her?
Isabel: The hair's the right color. I think so.
Valenti: Are you sure?
Isabel: I never saw her clearly, but it's her. It has to be.
Valenti: I hope you're wrong. I've known the Fosters for years.
Max: Well, I don't recognize her.
Valenti: She goes to Goddard High.
Isabel: The terror. I felt it so clearly in the last dream. We have to get her back. I need to.
Valenti: You and me both.
(Change to the next day in the Crashdown where Maria is serving Sean.)
Maria: In case I haven't told you this. You dine n' dash here, you die.
(Sean reaches into his pocket and lays money on the table.)
Maria: Is there a tip in there?
Sean: Just give me the burger.
Maria: How about a little talk, hmmm? Alright, in our house there are rules, and as strange, unimaginable, and bizarre as it may seem - we live our lives by these very simple rules.
Sean: Okay.
Maria: Rule one, toilet seat is left down. Rule two, underwear are not left on the floor, no. Rule three, milk is poured into a glass, not directly consumed by the carton. Rule four -
Sean: There a lot of these rules?
Maria: Don't worry, I'll write them down for you, assuming of course, that you can read.
Sean: Of course.
Maria: Now, pay attention please. Rule four is very important. Leave Liz alone.
Sean: Why, is she part of that house too or something?
Maria: I am not kidding, Sean. She is way off limits to you. Okay? Way, way, off limits.
Sean: Way.
Maria: Look, I saw the way you looked at her, alright? 'All grown up. I like it' No, it's not going to happen, Sean.
Sean: Okay.
Maria: She's in a very delicate and fragile place in her life right now.
(We hear Liz yelling off camera)
Liz: Dammit Eddie, where's my order?
(Sean looks questioningly at Maria)
Maria: I'm serious.
Sean: I hear you, alright? Leave her alone. I get it. What do you want from me?
Maria: I'll give you the list by the end of the day.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Switch to Isabel in her room. She lies on her bed and tries to dreamwalk. After some restless tossing she sees the blond girl again being dragged in the forest. This time we see the face of the man and it is Grant Sorenson. Isabel wakes up very upset and Max is shaking her.)
Isabel: No! Oh, no! It can't be!
Max: You started crying Isabel. What happened?
Isabel: No, Oh God! It's Grant! It's Grant. I saw him. I saw him. Oh God! Oh God. No.
(Change to Valenti's Office, where Isabel and Max are talking to the Sheriff.)
Valenti: Sorenson?
Isabel: I'm positive.
Valenti: Alright, I'll take care of it.
Max: You want us to help?
Valenti: Not this time.
(Switch to a daytime shot of a golf course. Valenti is calling to a judge who is playing golf.)
Valenti: Your honor! Your honor!
Judge: Hello, Sheriff.
Valenti: The woman who came forward is positive she saw Grant Sorenson with Melissa Foster.
Judge: You have a history with this Sorenson character don't you? Uh, he filed a complaint?
Valenti: That was a misunderstanding, sir.
Judge: Yeah, you searched his room without a warrant, shoving a gun in his face.
Valenti: Your honor! Your honor! A girl could be dying here!
Judge: You hurry and get me probable cause, then you'll get your warrant; otherwise, you're ruining my handicap.
(Change to Grant Sorenson's campsite as The Sheriff and Hansen drive up.)
Valenti: Check the car. We're looking for a large vinyl bag; seven foot by three.
Grant: What the hell's going on here?
Valenti: We need to do a little looking around Mr. Sorenson.
Grant: For what? My igneous rock collection?
Valenti: Do you know Melissa Foster?
Grant: I heard she was. . . What is this? Every time someone disappears I become your number one suspect?
Valenti: What were you doing last Friday night?
Grant: I drove to Carlsbad. That's the opposite direction from Santa Fe. VALENTI: How did you know Miss Foster went to Santa Fe?
Grant: It's common knowledge. The whole town is talking. Sherrif, you got a warrant?
Valenti: What were you doing in Carlsbad?
Grant: I went to pick up some equipment.
Valenti: We heard you were out here in the middle of the night.
Grant: That's not a crime.
Valenti: Depends upon what you were doing.
(Valenti comes to Grant's tent and opens the flap. He sees a large black vinyl bag like the one in Isabel's visions, and pulls it out.)
Grant: Don't touch that.
Valenti: What are you doing with this bag?
Grant: Transporting equipment.
Valenti: I need to see what's inside it. Open it up.
Grant: I can't do that.
Valenti: Well if you won't then I will. Step aside.
Grant: Sheriff, this is ridiculous.
Valenti: Back off!
(Grant moves aside and the sheriff unzips the bag to find equipment.)
Valenti: What is this?
Grant: It's equipment, photosensitive equipment. They use it in caverns like in Carlsbad. That's why I work at nights. It's the only time to get proper readings. You don't have a warrant do you?
(Switch to Valenti's office where Dan is waiting for him.)
Valenti: Dan.
Dan: Okay, cards on the table, Jimbo. What's going on here?
Valenti: I'm in the middle of an investigation.
Dan: Where you been the last four hours?
Valenti: Following a lead. Checking out a suspect. Anymore questions? DAN: Yeah, you get a warrant for Sorenson this time?
Valenti: You always know more than you let on, don't you Dan. I should have remembered that the day you walked through my door.
Dan: It's part of my job, Jimbo, and what I know right now is you disappear for days on end and you spend a lot of time lately with teenage kids. That's awful strange behavior.
Valenti: This isn't about the Hubble case is it? What the hell is going on here?
Dan: The State Board has had you in their watch file for a long time now, what with your reputation for chasing UFO's and what not. But right now it's your own men that are talking, and they want to know what's happened to their sheriff.
Valenti: I don't owe them an explanation.
Dan: You owe me!
(Valenti and Dan start yelling at the same time.)
Dan: You're crossing a lot of lines and I want to know why!
Valenti: I haven't been able to carry on an investigation. A girl's life is on the line.
(The two men are interrupted by a knock on the door.)
Valenti: What!
Hansen: Uh, Sheriff. I'm sorry but, uh. .
(Hansen shows a young blond girl into Valenti's office.)
Dan: Can we help you?
Girl: Yeah, hi. I'm Melissa Foster. I heard you were looking for me.
(Switch to an alley outside the Sheriff's station where Valenti is talking to Max and Isabel.)
Valenti: Girl said her car gave out halfway to Santa Fe. Next day she had it towed. No kidnapper, no needles, no bags and no desert.
(Isabel hangs her head.)
Valenti: Isabel, it's alright. Melissa's safe. Her family's happy. Nobody got hurt.
Max: What about you?
Valenti: I'll have some awkward questions to answer but I'm sure it will blow over.
Isabel: Sheriff, I am so sorry. I don't know how I could have been so wrong. I . . .
Valenti: Hey, you didn't do anything wrong. You have gifts the rest of us don't, and I trust those gifts. And if anything like this ever happens again, I want you to come to me. I'll be fine.
(Back in Valenti's office where Dan and the Judge are questioning him.)
Judge: What the hell is wrong with you? You conduct an illegal search after I say no!
Dan: You know, Sorenson has filed a 15 million-dollar civil suit against the city.
Valenti: For what? Because I ruined his stupid experiment? He's gonna be laughed out of court.
Judge: I'm half tempted to have you thrown into your own jail on a contempt citation.
Valenti: I'm sorry. Okay, I was wrong. I had a hunch. I had to follow it. JUDGE: A hunch! You told me you had a witness!
Dan: You told Judith Foster you had two witnesses! You terrified that family! I spent all day trying to calm them down.
Valenti: There are two witnesses, but I promised them anonymity. I can't break that promise.
Dan: We talking about those kids again.
Valenti: No
Judge: What kids?
Dan: Max and Isabel Evans.
Valenti: This has nothing to do with them.
Judge: Then who? I want names and I want them now.
Valenti: I'm sorry.
Judge: Best find yourself a lawyer.
(Later that night in Isabel's room, where Max is talking to Isabel.)
Max: Isabel, I don't understand this. You've never been wrong about this in the past and we've always gone with your judgement.
Isabel: I don't understand it either, Max. This wasn't something that I planned.
Max: How could this happen.
Isabel: I don't know.
Max: Valenti might be losing his job because of us. Have you thought about that?
Isabel: Of course I have, but what was I suppose to do? Just let her die?
Max: There is no missing girl, Alright! Your dreams were wrong. You were wrong.
Isabel: Don't' you think I know that? Maybe part of me just needed her to be missing.
Max: What do you mean?
Isabel: After everything we've been through, after all the pain that we've caused, I just wanted what we are, what I am, to do something good for a change.
Max: Isabel, you are my sister. You yell at me, you second-guess me, and you piss me off. You also saved my life, and I don't care what we've been through; I still believe in you. I always will. Go get some sleep. You look. . . really bad.
Isabel: Thanks!
(Change to Crashdown same night. Liz, Maria, and Michael are working and Kyle is sitting at the counter. Sean enters.)
Kyle: Tess is openly mocking me now. This morning I woke up with little antennae coming out of my head.
Liz: I don't know what to say. We need professional help.
Sean: Yo, M.
Maria: M? No, see um. . . in the real world we use names. My name is Maria.
Kyle: Who's that?
Michael: Maria's loser cousin Sean.
Sean: Can I get some fries, tough guy?
Michael: No
Maria: Sorry, we're closed. So sorry.
Kyle: Anyway, the point is, I'm just saying It's gonna be OK. I mean we're both obsessed people but we'll get through it. At least we have each other.
Liz: You know, uh, I think the fryer is still warm. I could whip you up some fries.
Sean: Nah, forget it. I'll scrounge something up at home.
(Sean exits.)
Maria: It's not your home. Stop calling it that. You're just passing through. You're not actually thinking. . .
Liz: No, of course not.
Maria: All I try and do is help. Does anybody listen?
Liz: I'm sorry, what were you saying?
Kyle: Nothing. I was just talking to myself. Hey, you got any cousins for me?
(Change to Isabel in bed, same night. She has another vision. She sees more details of where the girl is.)
Isabel: Where am I?
Kidnapped Girl: No, please don't!
Isabel: Max, Max! No, Max. . . Max!
(Attacker takes out a syringe. Isabel screams and begins reacting like the kidnapped girl.)
Isabel: Help me!
(Max enters, sits on Isabels bed and tries to wake her.)
Max: I'm here. Isabel, Isabel wake up.
Isabel: No, please! Don't do this. You don't have to do this. No!
(Isabel wakes up)
Max: Isabel, are you alright?
Isabel: Oh my God.
(Move to Valenti's office the same night. Dan enters.)
Dan: Judith Foster is filing a grievance with the State police board. She wants a formal investigation into you actions.
Valenti: I wonder who put that idea in her head?
Dan: Lot a questions here, Jimbo. Time for you to start thinkin' of some answers.
Valenti: Talk to my lawyer.
(Phone rings)
Valenti: Sheriff Valenti.
Max: It's not over.
Valenti: You wanna explain that to me.
Max: It's not Melissa Foster. It's some other girl. She's in Fraizer Woods in the clearing outside the abandoned pump house. We have to go right now.
(Valenti pauses and looks up at Dan.)
Max: Sheriff?
Valenti: Where are you now Deputy?
Max: We're at our house. We'll meet you on Clark's street, near the Crashdown.
Valenti: Stay where you are. I'll take care of it.
Max: No, we're going with you. Can you meet us?
Valenti: Yeah, I'll meet you there deputy.
(The Sheriff hangs up.)
Dan: Do deputies always call you on your private line?
Valenti: I'll talk to you in the morning.
Dan: You know your Daddy went down just like this. Got some fool notion into his head, ignored the law and his friends, and ended up handing over his badge.
Valenti: Is that a threat?
Dan: If that phone call was from those kids, consider it a warning.
(Move to Frazier Woods. Max, Isabel, and Valenti are searching with flashlights.)
Isabel: This is it.
Max: Ok, we're here. Now what?
Isabel: I don't know. I don't know. She's here. She's here somewhere. VALENTI: You kidnap a girl. You bring her out here and then you. . . Max: What is it?
Valenti: It's a molehill.
Max: So?
Valenti: It's an awfully straight line for a molehill.
(Valenti reaches down and finds a tube. He pulls it up and follows along it until he comes to a strange apparatus.)
Valenti: Oxygen tanks
Isabel: Oh my God.
Valenti: Come on.
(Valenti follows the tube back the other direction until it finally disappears deep into the ground.)
Isabel: Oh God, she's under here.
(They dig frantically with their hands. We see someone watching them through the cross hairs of a gun scope.)
Max: Watch the head.
Isabel: Oh my God.
(They unearth a clear plastic box around the buried girl's head.)
Isabel: What did they do to her?
Max: I don't know.
Valenti: She's going into shock.
Isabel: We've got you. What did they do?
Max: Isabel, can you get this thing off?
Isabel: Yes.
Valenti: Hurry, Hurry. Get it off.
(The rifleman shoots and hits the ground near them. Max jumps up and puts up his protective shield. Valenti pulls out his gun and aims toward where the shots came from. The masked man fires again, but the bullet bounces off the shield.)
Max: Isabel, hurry!
(Isabel tries to lift the box off the girl's head while another bullet bounces off Max's shield.)
Valenti: Max, I see the shooter.
Max: I can't keep this up.
Isabel: I almost have it.
(Another shot bounces off.)
Isabel: I've got it.
Max: You see him?
Valenti: Yeah. . . Ready? Go!
(Max withdraws the shield. Valenti fires several shots and hits the shooter. The shooter is only wounded and runs away. A flashlight appears behind Valenti, Max, and Isabel.)
Dan: Freeze!
Valenti: Dan, It's me!
Dan: What the hell's going on here? Who are you shootin' at?
Valenti: Kidnapper.
Dan: What kidnapper?
Valenti: We found our missing girl.
(Max and Isabel look at each other nervously while Dan walks over and sees the girl. Dan removes his coat to cover her. The girl is crying.)
(Later. More police have arrived and an ambulance. The kidnapped girl, Laurie, is on a stretcher.)
Laurie: (very emotional) I never saw his face. I was coming down to visit my grandparents in Roswell when he . . . came up behind me on the street. . .
Valenti: Laurie, I'm going to have someone watch over you round the clock until your parents arrive. You're safe now. I promise.
Laurie: How did you know to find me out here?
Valenti: Someone heard you cry out for help.
(Paramedics take Laurie away. Isabel follows her and Dan approaches the Sheriff.)
Dan: How'd you find her?
Valenti: Good police work.
Dan: Aw, come on. You can do better than that. What were those kids doin' out here?
Valenti: Nothing. They were just along for the ride.
Dan: Along for the ride? You tellin' me that you took two minors with you on a ride along? That alone is enough to get you suspended.
Valenti: I'll take the suspension. You leave the kids out of this.
(Hansen approaches with a small plastic bag.)
Hansen: Sheriff, look at this.
Valenti: Our shooter's bullets.
Hansen: Yes, but there's no laceration or impact. They're in perfect shape.
Dan: That's impossible, physically impossible. Thanks. Deputy, I'll take care of these.
Valenti: I'm as baffled as you are.
Dan: Nah, nah, you're not. You're a good cop, Jimbo, but you don't lie very well, and whatever you're coverin' up I'm going to find it out. You can count on it.
(We move over to Laurie and Isabel.)
Laurie: Who are you?
Isabel: Isabel.
Laurie: You saved my life. Thank you.
(Isabel takes her hand then has a flash of blue cell like things. Laurie is loaded into the ambulance.)
Max: Ready to go home? Isabel?
Isabel: There's something about her, Max.
Max: What do you mean?
Isabel: It's like I know her.
(Episode ends with them looking after the ambulance as it pulls away.)


5:50pm - 6:15pm
[SCENE_BREAK]
1: EXT. KING PRIAM'S PALACE. BALCONY
CASSANDRA: Then woe to the House of Priam. Woe to the Trojans!
PARIS: I'm afraid you're a bit late to say 'whoa' to the horse! I've just given instructions to have it brought into the city.
[SCENE_BREAK]
2: EXT. PLAIN OF TROY
(The horse moves slowly forward to the city. At its feet, the excited, but doomed crowd can be heard.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
3: INT. CHAMBER OF KING PRIAM'S PALACE
(All except VICKI have come back from the balcony and back into the chamber. She is nowhere to be seen but her absence is not immediately noticed.)
CASSANDRA: Of all the idiocy! To have it brought into the city!
PARIS: (Despairing.) Why? Th...that horse is in the image of one of our gods!
CASSANDRA: It's a trick. My dreams have always been right and they foretell disaster.
(PARIS laughs in a sneering fashion.)
PARIS: Now were they right about that little temple? That has brought us nothing but good luck.
CASSANDRA: Good luck you call it. The whole family besotted by that sorceress!
PRIAM: Oh, I do wish you'd stop calling Cressida that. And I would call it luck to have the entire Greek army removed from our shores. Peace, at last! Though the arrival of the horse is a little puzzling.
PARIS: Well, Cressida probably arranged it and the very sight of it just...just frightened the Greeks away.
(TROILUS looks round at this reminder.)
TROILUS: (Puzzled.) Where is Cressida?
(The others also glance round the room.)
PARIS: Oh, she's probably down in the square watching them bring in the horse.
TROILUS: Oh, then I'd better go and look for her. I don't like her to go wandering round the city on her own.
PRIAM: No, bring her back up here again she'll get a betterful view.
(As TROILUS leaves and PRIAM and PARIS go back up to the balcony, CASSANDRA moves to the back of the room where KATARINA, a handmaiden, is standing and whispers to her.)
CASSANDRA: Katarina! Go and look for the sorceress. I don't trust my lovesick brother.
KATARINA: But great priestess, the auguries said that...
CASSANDRA: (Hisses.) Do you dare to question me?!
(KATARINA hangs her head in fear.)
KATARINA: No.
CASSANDRA: Very well then, go and watch for that girl.
(KATARINA leaves the throne room worriedly as CASSANDRA goes back onto the balcony.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
4: INT. KING PRIAM'S PALACE. DUNGEONS
(VICKI is descending into the gloom. STEVEN sees her approaching through the bars.)
STEVEN: What's going on up there?
(VICKI unbolts the door.)
VICKI: They're just bringing the horse into the city. Follow me.
(STEVEN leaves the cell and follows her as instructed.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
5: INT. WOODEN HORSE
(The Horse is still banging from side to side with a very uncomfortable DOCTOR within...)
DOCTOR: Oh, I'm still very worried about those fetlocks!
ODYSSEUS: Be happy that's all you have to worry about. Ah! Of all the undignified ways of entering a city this takes the flying phoenix.
DOCTOR: If only you would have allowed me another day to fit shock absorbers.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(The DOCTOR is almost knocked from his feet by the movement of the horse as it suddenly stops.)
ODYSSEUS: Zeus be praised! We've arrived.
DOCTOR: (Relieved.) Oh! Well now, what is it you propose to do, hmm?
ODYSSEUS: We wait Doctor, without movement.
(The DOCTOR makes a noise as he does move.)
ODYSSEUS: (Whispers loudly.) In absolute silence!
[SCENE_BREAK]
6: EXT. TROY. MAIN SQUARE
(The towering Horse stands in the main square. A chattering crowd can be heard below it.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
7: EXT. KING PRIAM'S PALACE. BALCONY
(PARIS is rather pleased with himself as he, the King and CASSANDRA look down on it from the balcony.)
PARIS: There, father, the horse is safely installed. And you may notice my sister that nothing, er, "disastrous" has occurred.
CASSANDRA: Wait and see. There's time yet and mark my words that horse will be the doom of Troy.
PRIAM: It's a little more rough-hewn than I had expected. Well, since it's here, we'd better take a closer look.
[SCENE_BREAK]
8: EXT. MAIN SQUARE OF TROY
(STEVEN and VICKI are moving behind pillars to avoid the inhabitants of the city who themselves are heading in the direction of the Horse. The two companions reach the edge of the square and look up at the towering structure. STEVEN is impressed.)
STEVEN: That's some horse.
VICKI: If you can call it that.
STEVEN: The Doctor said...
(He cuts off as a group of Trojan citizens begin laughing close by. STEVEN realises he is still dressed as a Greek and pulls VICKI away back from the crowd and into better cover.)
VICKI: It'd be pretty silly if they caught you again.
STEVEN: Hmm, and you!
VICKI: What do you mean?
STEVEN: Well, if they find us together they'll know you let me out.
(VICKI indicates the Horse.)
VICKI: They think I invoked that thing. I'm all right.
STEVEN: Yes, only so long as they think it's a gift from the gods. They'll know very differently once the Doctor and company come out of it.
VICKI: Do you think he's in it?
STEVEN: Well, it's likely, isn't it? I mean he'll be worried about getting back to the TARDIS.
VICKI: He must be able to see he's got nothing to worry about. That thing is so rickety it must be full of people.
STEVEN: Oh right, you'd do better in the time they had? Now, I wonder why he didn't delay like we asked?
VICKI: He must have a plan of escape - to rescue us. Cyclops must have told him where we were.
STEVEN: If Cyclops got through.
VICKI: Look!
(VICKI suddenly notices KATARINA moving through the crowd as if searching for something or someone.)
VICKI: That is one of Cassandra's girls.
STEVEN: (Whispers.) What?
VICKI: That girl, I've seen her with Cassandra. She's a handmaiden at the Temple or something.
STEVEN: Then she must be looking for you. Look, you go back. I'll find somewhere to hide around here.
VICKI: Look they trust me, I'd...
STEVEN: (Interrupting.) Better go! In any case, Troilus will die of jealousy if he knows you're with me.
VICKI: And what is that supposed to mean?
STEVEN: (Laughs.) Oh come off it, Vicki. The way you two were carrying on back there in the...
VICKI: (Interrupts angrily.) Troilus has been very kind to me and I'm very fond of him and if all you can do is make remarks like that...
STEVEN: (Laughs.) I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
(He sees that VICKI is upset and adopts a more gentle manner.)
STEVEN: No really, I am sorry. Okay, but look, if you really are that fond of him, you'd better tell him to get out of the city.
VICKI: Why?
(She looks again towards the horse and the realisation of what is to come dawns on her.)
VICKI: You mean when they come out of that thing they...Steven!
STEVEN: It's possible isn't it? Tell him to get out of Troy, just to be on the safe side.
(The TARDIS sits small near the looming and ominous Horse.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
9: INT. CHAMBER OF KING PRIAM'S PALACE
(TROILUS comes running into the chamber where PARIS, PRIAM and CASSANDRA are gathered. The noise of the crowd reaches them from outside.)
TROILUS: Diomede! He's gone.
PARIS: Gone?
TROILUS: His cell's empty. The guards were locked in by a trick so they say.
CASSANDRA: That Cressida! Troy's doom is nigh!
TROILUS: But how could it be? She's one girl!
CASSANDRA: (Spits.) A girl you call her, you love sick fool! But I know she's a witch and must be burnt, along with that horse out there.
(CASSANDRA suddenly sees VICKI entering the room.)
CASSANDRA: See! There she stands.
(TROILUS and PARIS both start shouting at once.)
TROILUS: ... !
PARIS: Now did you ever see someone so unlike a witch?
PRIAM: (Interrupts.) Now, now quiet all of you. (To VICKI, gently.) Come here my child, where have you been? We've been worried about you.
VICKI: I've just been out.
PRIAM: Yes, but where?
TROILUS: Look you didn't free Diomede did you?
VICKI: Diomede?
PRIAM: Yes - your friend, the Greek prisoner, he has escaped. Did you set him free?
PARIS: Oh, that's nonsense. I mean how could she have?
CASSANDRA: By sorcery.
VICKI: I am not a sorceress - really I'm not.
PRIAM: Yes, I...I'll believe you my child, but you must forgive us if we are naturally suspicious. This has been a long and difficult war and peace will take a little bit of getting used to.
CASSANDRA: My handmaiden Katarina will stay with her.
PRIAM: Very well. Come my children, our people have gone to the square of ot...oratory. We must go and join them there and I must speak. And we must also make plans for the celebration. (To VICKI.) Thank you, my dear, see you later.
VICKI: Thank you, thank you for being so kind to me.
PRIAM: My dear child, this city owes its salvation to you.
(PRIAM and the others depart leaving VICKI alone with KATARINA. VICKI is anguished.)
VICKI: Oh no, let it not happen.
KATARINA: Did you want something?
VICKI: No, thank you.
[SCENE_BREAK]
10: INT. WOODEN HORSE
(Inside the Horse, the DOCTOR is agitated while ODYSSEUS stares into space.)
DOCTOR: How you can sit there so peacefully defeats me, hmm! Have you no feelings, mm? No emotions hmm?
ODYSSEUS: I was thinking, Doctor.
DOCTOR: Hmm!
ODYSSEUS: That with any luck, either Agamemnon or Achilles will not come through.
DOCTOR: You mean they'll desert us, hmm?
ODYSSEUS: No...
DOCTOR: Hmph!
ODYSSEUS: ...die. Just a hope. One less finger in the pie, a greater share of the booty for me.
DOCTOR: That is a most immoral way of looking at life, hmm!
ODYSSEUS: Nonsense! It's the reason that I've been here for ten long years fighting all the time.
DOCTOR: Yes, well, I must get out of here at once.
ODYSSEUS: You can't.
DOCTOR: (Sarcastically.) Ahh! I've only got to pull that lever...
(The DOCTOR taps a wooden lever.)
DOCTOR: ...and I can get back down into the square.
ODYSSEUS: (Laughs.) Yes, yes. But as I happen to be sitting on the rope, you'll fall forty feet and break your neck.
DOCTOR: (Shouts.) I will not be party to your schemes! (Quieter.) You forced me to invent this contraption.
ODYSSEUS: I'm very glad I did, Doctor.
DOCTOR: Hmm?
ODYSSEUS: Up to now, it's been very satisfactory.
DOCTOR: You had no right to bring me here at all. I'm utterly useless to you.
(ODYSSEUS laughs heartily, and sarcastically the DOCTOR joins in.)
DOCTOR: You must let me out of here! You're selfish, greedy, corrupt, cheap, horrible. Your one thought is for yourself and what you can get out of it.
(ODYSSEUS places a sword at the DOCTOR'S throat. The DOCTOR starts.)
ODYSSEUS: Be quiet, old man.
DOCTOR: I will not be quiet! You may stay here if you wish to have your insignificant win. Your victory or whatever you call it, but you must let me out of here.
ODYSSEUS: One more word out of you and I shall kill you! You would be my first victim in Troy.
(The DOCTOR steps away from the hatch and ODYSSEUS lowers his sword.)
ODYSSEUS: That's better. About now our ships should be returning...as you planned.
(The DOCTOR snorts in a derisory manner.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
11: INT. CHAMBER IN KING PRIAM'S PALACE
(KATARINA is asleep in a chair. VICKI comes down the steps from the balcony as TROILUS enters the chamber.)
TROILUS: Cressida.
VICKI: Oh! Oh, I'm so glad you've come.
TROILUS: I had to see you.
VICKI: Troilus, dear Troilus, will you do something for me?
TROILUS: Anything.
VICKI: Leave the city.
TROILUS: Why?
VICKI: It's Diomede.
TROILUS: Diomede?
VICKI: I'm sure he's out on the plain. You've got to go and look for him and find him. If you bring him back you'll prove yourself the warrior you really are, he'll be your prisoner then as well as Paris'.
TROILUS: But he may have been rescued by the Greeks by now.
VICKI: No no no, Paris said they'd all gone away and that was before he even escaped.
TROILUS: (Suspiciously.) Why this concern for Diomede? Is he? Do you? I mean...are you in love with him?
VICKI: No, he's just a friend.
TROILUS: Then if he's your friend, why do you want him captured? To be a prisoner of war's considered very bad form.
VICKI: But... Oh, why won't you see? Go out and search for him on the plain!
TROILUS: Cressida, I said I'd do anything for you and a Trojan stands by his word, but please, why do you want me to leave the city and go and search for a highly skilled Greek warrior?
VICKI: He isn't armed. I wouldn't send you out there if I thought anything could happen to you. I just want you to...I just want you to catch your own prisoner.
TROILUS: Did you mean that? About not wanting me hurt?
VICKI: Of course I did, I wouldn't ask you to do it otherwise.
TROILUS: Oh, Cressida.
VICKI: You haven't got time, you've got to go now.
(VICKI'S tears well in her eyes.)
TROILUS: Don't worry, everything's going to be all right.
(They embrace and TROILUS leaves. VICKI remains tearful)
[SCENE_BREAK]
12: EXT. MAIN SQUARE OF TROY (NIGHT)
(It is night and the city is quiet. A sentry walks past the Horse. After he has gone, a rope descends from the immense wooden horse, and the Greek soldiers drop to the ground. Eventually the DOCTOR comes uncomfortably down the rope followed by ODYSSEUS.)
ODYSSEUS: ... ! Come!
(As the Greeks move along, they silently kill a sentry.)
DOCTOR: Ahh!
ODYSSEUS: This plan of yours, Doctor...is going to be a great success. Stay close to me.
(ODYSSEUS motions his men and the DOCTOR to move out across the square.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
13: EXT. PLAIN OF TROY (NIGHT)
(Outside the walls of Troy, TROILUS is searching frantically.)
TROILUS: Diomede!
(ACHILLES, who has been watching from behind some rocks, comes into view of the young Trojan.)
TROILUS: Diomede where are you!
ACHILLES: What ails you, petty Princeling? Lost some plaything? The one you call for is long dead.
TROILUS: You're a Greek! I thought you'd sailed away. Who are you?
ACHILLES: You should not ask. My name is Achilles.
TROILUS: My brother's murderer!
ACHILLES: So Prince Troilus, is it? Well, I killed your brother fairly. Fought him man to man. Alas I cannot do the same for you. This would be the murder of a boy!
TROILUS: Has Cressida played me false? Very well, I'll fight my brother's murderer for I only live to kill Diomede!
ACHILLES: Who is already dead. So follow him, Trojan!
(They draw swords and fight ferociously, as they wheel round and round. ACHILLES is surprised by TROILUS' ability and strength for his slender frame but the Trojan is determined to avenge the death of his brother. ACHILLES trips and falls and TROLIUS moves in with his sword and stabs at the Greek. ACHILLES cries out in pain.)
TROILUS: So died my brother.
(He pushes his sword in again.)
TROILUS: The wheel has spun full circle.
(He goes to complete the task but ACHILLES, although wounded, manages to strike at TROILUS before he dies. TROLIUS staggers away from the body.)
TROILUS: Diomede, I live to call down wrath for love of Cressida.
[SCENE_BREAK]
14: EXT. MAIN SQUARE OF TROY (NIGHT)
(A single Greek soldier pushes open the immense main gates of Troy. As he does so, the Greeks outside pour into the city with a cry.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
15: INT. CHAMBER IN KING PRIAM'S PALACE
(In the palace, PRIAM is pacing nervously as he hears the destruction of his city outside. CASSANDRA waits angrily by the window. A terrified female scream reaches them.)
PRIAM: What noise was that?
(PARIS can be heard outside the room in a fight. He enters the chamber, bleeding and exhausted.)
PARIS: Father!
PRIAM: What are you doing?
PARIS: It's the Greeks! They were inside the horse and our gates are open to the enemy.
CASSANDRA: And none of you would listen to me!
(ODYSSEUS enters steeped in triumph, he is enjoying himself. He laughs heartily as his soldiers follow him in. PRIAM, CASSANDRA and PARIS turn to run.)
ODYSSEUS: Flee hornets in their nest! (Laughs.) Kill them!
(His soldiers run after the King and PARIS as CASSANDRA is thrown into ODYSSEUS' arms and he grabs her laughing.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
16: EXT. TROY
(The city is now on fire...)
[SCENE_BREAK]
17: EXT. MAIN SQUARE OF TROY
(The DOCTOR has managed to give the Greeks the slip and has made his way to the TARDIS. VICKI sees him and runs towards him, KATARINA following.)
VICKI: Doctor!
(She runs into his arms.)
VICKI: Oh, Doctor!
DOCTOR: Oh, my dear child! (He laughs.) Oh, how lovely to see you! Where have you been all this time, hmm? And where's Steven?
(VICKI points across the square.)
VICKI: (Frantically.) Doctor he's over there, but I've got to talk to you.
DOCTOR: Oh now one thing at a time child. Where's the young man?
(VICKI calls over to the waiting handmaiden.)
VICKI: Katarina?
DOCTOR: Hmm?
(The Trojan handmaiden steps forward.)
VICKI: Katarina, this is the Doctor. Now go and find the man you call Diomede. He's hiding amongst those pillars over there.
KATARINA: You're from the other place?
DOCTOR: But who is this child? Now pull yourself together, we've got to go, hmm?
VICKI: Katarina, go and find Diomede - he will be there. Bring him to...my temple, quickly.
DOCTOR: We must all go and find him, come along!
VICKI: No, Doctor, into the TARDIS. Quickly.
(She desperately pushes the DOCTOR towards the door of the TARDIS.)
DOCTOR: Yes, but my dear child, the boy, the boy...
VICKI: Open the door and listen to me please!
DOCTOR: Yes, yes, but be patient.
VICKI: Steven is safe, Katarina will bring him...
(The DOCTOR talks over VICKI as he unlocks the TARDIS door.)
DOCTOR: Yes I know, patience, patience...
VICKI: Come on, I've got to talk to you!
(She pushes him into the TARDIS.)
DOCTOR: Oh!
[SCENE_BREAK]
18: EXT. ANOTHER PART OF THE MAIN SQUARE
(STEVEN'S hiding place is not safe at all - his Greek soldier's robes have caught the attention of a Trojan warrior and they are fighting. Steven is wounded in the shoulder but another Greek enters the fray and the two move off fighting. STEVEN has fallen to the floor which is where he is found by KATARINA.)
KATARINA: Diomede, Cressida has sent me.
STEVEN: Who are you?
(He is badly wounded and has very little strength left. KATARINA helps him up.)
KATARINA: I've come to take you to your temple. Oh, come, quickly.
STEVEN: I can't.
KATARINA: Lean on me.
(She holds the weakened STEVEN and leads him away.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
19: EXT. MAIN SQUARE OF TROY
(Across the square, the door to the TARDIS opens and VICKI steps sadly out. She walks off. A moment later, the DOCTOR emerges and watches her go.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
20: INT. CHAMBER IN KING PRIAM'S PALACE.
(PRIAM and PARIS lie dead. ODYSSEUS has CASSANDRA by the shoulders and is shaking her violently as she resists.)
ODYSSEUS: Stop struggling woman! You are reserved for Agamemnon and he's welcome to you!
CASSANDRA: Tricksters! You Greeks will never learn to fight honestly!
ODYSSEUS: But we win!
CASSANDRA: Not for long. The day will come when you will perish as you made us do!
ODYSSEUS: Take her away.
(He throws her to his soldiers.)
ODYSSEUS: The high-born are reserved for Agamemnon! I can't wait to see him enjoy a talk with this one.
CASSANDRA: (Spits.) Ten long years we fought you, Odysseus! And ten long years it'll be before you see your home again!
ODYSSEUS: To Agamemnon with her!
CASSANDRA: Oh!
ODYSSEUS: To his ship. A personal present from me.
(CASSANDRA is dragged struggling away.)
CASSANDRA: Keep your hands off me! Keep your...hands off me! Oh!
[SCENE_BREAK]
21: EXT. MAIN SQUARE OF TROY
(The DOCTOR helps KATARINA to get STEVEN to the TARDIS.)
DOCTOR: Now then, you sure it's just the shoulder, hmm?
(KATARINA nods.)
DOCTOR: Right well, steady, steady, hold tight, hold on.
(The DOCTOR steadies STEVEN with KATARINA as he tries to get his key out.)
DOCTOR: Yes, Careful, just a minute, careful, careful with him.
(He opens the door.)
DOCTOR: Oh dear, dear, this business. There we are. Now, come on bring him in...bring him in there.
(He points at to the open door of the TARDIS. KATARINA helps the almost unconscious time traveller into the TARDIS. The DOCTOR calls to them from outside.)
DOCTOR: Gently, carefully, that's it, that's it, put him on the couch.
(As the DOCTOR is about to enter the TARDIS, ODYSSEUS rushes in with his troops with swords drawn. He turns away from the open door.)
ODYSSEUS: Stand still old man - or you die! I claim your machine as part of my share!
DOCTOR: Share of what?
ODYSSEUS: The spoils of war!
DOCTOR: Now you stand back. I've gone far enough with you, my Lord Odysseus. You go adventuring on your own. Be off with you!
(He laughs and rushes into the TARDIS. ODYSSEUS yells to his soldiers.)
ODYSSEUS: Seize it! Come on, move! Quickly...a cart!
(The TARDIS begins to dematerialise.)
ODYSSEUS: (In a rage.) Doctor!
(As ODYSSEUS and the soldiers watch in awe, the ship fades away.)
ODYSSEUS: Zeus! (Laughs.) I wonder...were you really Zeus, after all?

22: EXT. PLAIN OF TROY
(TROILUS is bereft as he watches his beloved city burn in the night.)
TROILUS: Cressida! Cressida! Could you have betrayed us?
(He almost screams in pain...)
TROILUS: Cressida!
(He sinks to his knees as someone stands next to him. He looks up and sees VICKI.)
VICKI: I came to find you.
TROILUS: Cressida what are you doing here. Where's Diomede?
VICKI: He's gone...with...another friend that you never met.
TROILUS: (Bitterly.) Back to Greece.
VICKI: No to...where I come from. You see he wasn't really a Greek, he...
(She notices his wounds.)
VICKI: Oh, Troilus, you're hurt!
TROILUS: Just a bit.
(He tries to hide his wound.)
VICKI: No, let me look.
TROILUS: No, I'll be all right. Look, Cressida, I don't understand?
VICKI: I...
(She is stuck for an explanation.)
VICKI: I don't suppose you ever will. That doesn't matter...so long as you trust me.
TROILUS: Trust you! After all...
VICKI: (Passionately.) I didn't betray you - that's why I stayed behind, I wanted you to know that I didn't. The main thing is...I belong here now with you - If you'll have me.
TROILUS: Cressida...
(He looks towards the remains of Troy.)
TROILUS: Look what's happened.
(VICKI follows his gaze.)
VICKI: There's only us now.
TROILUS: What do you mean?
VICKI: I'll explain someday. I'm sorry.
TROILUS: But...but there's nowhere to go.
VICKI: We'll find somewhere.
TROILUS: Oh, Cressida...
(They embrace and kiss. TROILUS suddenly notices some figures moving in the distance.)
TROILUS: Cressida, look!
(VICKI tries to pull him down out of sight.)
VICKI: Be careful, they may be Greeks!
TROILUS: It's my cousin!
VICKI: Cousin?
TROILUS: Yes, Aeneas. Oh, if only he'd come sooner!
VICKI: That's it.
TROILUS: What?
VICKI: He'll help us.
TROILUS: (Confused.) But there's...there's nothing left.
VICKI: (Smiles.) Yes there is - there's us. We can start again with your cousin's help we can...we can build another Troy!

23: INT. TARDIS. CONSOLE ROOM
(Inside the TARDIS, STEVEN'S condition is worsening as he lies on the divan. The DOCTOR mops his brow while KATARINA stands helplessly by. STEVEN has some kind of infection, he is delirious and tosses and turns. The DOCTOR tuts.)
DOCTOR: That's not good, that's not good at all. Hmm! Get help.
KATARINA: What help is there in limbo?
DOCTOR: What's that, my dear?
STEVEN: Vicki...
DOCTOR: No, no, no, no, no, keep calm, keep calm.
STEVEN: Is she all right?
DOCTOR: Yes, yes, she's all right, yes, yes.
(STEVEN, in something of a fever, points at KATARINA.)
STEVEN: What's she doing over there?
DOCTOR: No, no, no that's not Vicki, that's not Vicki, now keep calm.
STEVEN: Not Vicki?
DOCTOR: Be quiet!
(STEVEN starts to struggle.)
STEVEN: Where is she? The Trojans'll kill her. You came too soon!
DOCTOR: She's all right, she's all right. She wanted to stay.
STEVEN: The Greeks...the Greeks...the Trojans...
(STEVEN tries to rise from the couch, DOCTOR places a hand on his chest and pushes him back down.)
DOCTOR: Keep still.
STEVEN: Ahh...Vicki.
DOCTOR: She's all right. I know she is. She's gone to find Troilus and she'll be quite all right. This is just what she wanted. Now calm down. Yes, quiet, quiet.
STEVEN: (Whispers.) Vicki...Vicki...
(He grows quieter.)
DOCTOR: Oh... (Sighs.) You'll have to look after that young man. I think he has calmed down.
(KATARINA smiles.)
KATARINA: Strange god, you bring me peace.
DOCTOR: No, I...I don't know what Vicki has advised you, but...
KATARINA: Oh, the Priestess Cressida told me all would be well, and I knew it was to come.
DOCTOR: What was to come my dear?
KATARINA: That I was to die.
DOCTOR: (Shocked.) My dear child you're not dead! That's nonsense. Hmm?
(KATARINA looks round the console room.)
KATARINA: This is not Troy. This is not even the world. This is the Journey through the Beyond.
DOCTOR: Well, as you wish...
KATARINA: Thank you.
DOCTOR: Yes, yes, yes, as you wish my child. Now I want you to keep an eye on that young man will you. Hmm?
KATARINA: Yes, great god.
DOCTOR: His name is Steven. Oh...and remember Katarina, you must call me Doctor.
KATARINA: Oh, as you wish, Doc...
DOCTOR: I'm not a Doc. I am not a god. Oh, my dear Vicki, I hope you'll be all right, hmm?
(His voice is overcome with emotion.)
DOCTOR: I shall miss you child. Oh, hmm!
(He suddenly remembers their present acute situation.)
DOCTOR: (Worried.) Oh yes, now those drugs, those drugs, what am I going to do? I must stop somewhere. But how? I've got to, yes! I must! I must!
(The DOCTOR steps over to the console.)
