LUCAS : I think you're right.
NATHAN : Damn. Think somebody got thrown through a plate-Glass window. Dude, it seriously smells like ass in here.
JAMIE : And rotten cheese.
LUCAS : Go away.
JAMIE : Ew, and bad breath.
LUCAS : I said, "go away."
(Lucas throws away the pillow and we find out that he has a mohawk)
JAMIE : Ho...
NATHAN : Holy crap.
LUCAS : What?
NATHAN : Have you seen your head?
LUCAS : Not lately.
NATHAN : You have a mohawk.
LUCAS : I do?
(Jamie jumps on the bed and plays with Lucas' mohawk)
JAMIE : Awesome. Can I get one, daddy?
NATHAN : Sure, if you want to look goofy like your uncle Lucas.
JAMIE : Kind of like he has a tail... just on his head.
NATHAN : Jamie, why don't you go get Luke a bottle of water, huh?
JAMIE : Okay.
(Jamie leaves the room)
NATHAN : I thought we were gonna see you at that school-Board hearing.
LUCAS : Yeah.
NATHAN : They suspended you, Luke. 10 games.
LUCAS : There's only 11 left.

(Jamie comes back with the bottle)

JAMIE : Okay. Bye, uncle Lucas. Cool hair.
(Jamie goes outside)
NATHAN (to Jamie) : Wait for me right there, okay?
(Nathan closes the door)
NATHAN : Look, Luke... I know from experience whatever answers you're looking for... You're not gonna find them like this... Trust me. I know it sucks that Lindsey's dating, And it sucks that you grabbed that player, but don't make it worse. The darkness doesn't have any answers, Luke.

(Brooke stops, surprised by what she's just said. Then the phone rings)
BROOKE (on the phone) : Hello? Yes, this is she. But... there must be some mistake. She has eight days left... But she's recovering from surgery, so... No, I understand... Okay. Bye-Bye.

HALEY : Oh, well, well. What...what is all this
LUCAS : Not sure.
HALEY : I would laugh if this whole thing wasn't such a mess.
LUCAS : What whole mess?
HALEY : You, your head... All of it. You and I are going for a drive. But, first, we're gonna fix the ferret above your face.
LUCAS : Why?
HALEY : We're taking a drive because I'm your best friend and you need me. And we are fixing your... Very punk-Rock haircut because I have a 5-Year-Old son who unfortunately wants to look just like his uncle Lucas.
(Lucas sits on the chair and Haley starts shaving his head)

JAMIE : Quentin says it is.
NATHAN : Quentin's wrong. And, by the way, nobody's sporting the faux hawk anymore, dude.
JAMIE : I'm bringing it back.
(Jamie makes a shoot in his small hoop with rolled-up socks)
JAMIE : So, what team do you think you're gonna play for in the NBA?
NATHAN : Jamie, come here... I know you're really excited about this, but... I'm probably never gonna play in the NBA.
JAMIE : Sure, you will.
NATHAN : Geez, kiddo. You're playing with rolled-Up socks? What happened to your ball?
JAMIE : I lost it... I got to go feed Chester
(Jamie leaves)
INSIDE LUCAS' CAR
Haley is with Lucas, who's driving.
HALEY : I got to ask you something. Did you tell Peyton that you hated her?
LUCAS : Maybe. I was a little wasted.
HALEY : Luke, you can be such a jackass sometimes. She is in love with you. You probably broke her heart.
LUCAS : Oh, I didn't break her heart. You're being dramatic.
HALEY : I'm being dramatic. Stop here.
LUCAS : The light's green.
HALEY : Just stop.
LUCAS : All right. We're sitting at a green light. Now what?
(People starts honking)
HALEY : Just wait for it.
LUCAS : Haley, the light's green! Wait for what?!
(At this time, a red water balloon smashed the windshield)
HALEY : Kind of like Peyton's heart, don't you think? I'll be right back. You shouldn't stay here.

LUCAS : Okay.
THE ROOF OF CLOTHES OVER BROS
Peyton is looking at the street, Haley arrives.
HALEY : Hey.
PEYTON : You said it made you feel better.
HALEY : It's gonna be okay. Haley is alone, taking their predictions from the wall. When she's done, Lucas arrives.
HALEY : All right. All clear, you goof.
LUCAS : No Peyton?
HALEY : No. You need to apologize to her.
LUCAS : Hey, remember all the water-Balloon battles we used to have up here?
HALEY : Don't change the subject. Actually, now that you mention it, it was junior year, the boy-Toy auction. We had that water-Balloon fight up here, and you saw my tattoo of Nathan's jersey number for the first time.
LUCAS : You mean your slutty little tramp stamp.
HALEY : I am so barely your friend right now.
LUCAS : Sorry.
HALEY : The point is, I was so scared that night. I was falling in love for the first time, and I was so unsure. But I did it. And while it hasn't been easy, it has been everything.
(After a blank)
HALEY : We're not kids anymore, Luke. You know... It really hurts me to watch what you're doing.
LUCAS : Lindsey said no, Hales, I said yes.
HALEY : Don't give me that, Luke. I'm being honest with you right now, and you need to be honest with yourself. What do you want? If Lindsey's the girl that you're in love with, great. If it's Peyton, great. If it's Brooke, just please... Stop hiding your heart... I mean it.
(Haley leaves him alone)

MILLICENT : How about I buy you some lunch? Come on.
THE HOSPITAL
Dan arrives with flowers in Reverend Carter's room, who's unconscious
DAN : Reverend Howard Carter. I did a little research. Man of faith, lived a good life. Tough run, though. Diabetes, stroke. You know, it's not exactly benevolent of you to lie there and take a heart that could be put to better use. In fact, it's really quite selfish. Don't you agree?
(Dan grabs his head and makes him nod)
DAN : "Yeah, I agree. Yes, I do."
(A nurse enters the room)
NURSE : Morning.
DAN : Good morning. The reverend was looking a little uncomfortable.
NURSE : Would you like to give him this pillow?
DAN : Actually... I just might.
NATHAN AND HALEY'S HOUSE
Nathan is watching by the terrace door. Deb comes home discreetly behind him
NATHAN : Hey, look. It's my mom doing the walk of shame. Maybe we should hire a nanny for you. Out with a guy you met on a p0rn site.
DEB : Not p0rn... Erotica.
(Deb goes to her room and Nathan goes outside, where he finds Jamie's ball, inside the pool)
Nathan comes to see Jamie in his room, who's with Chester
NATHAN : Hey, buddy. Thought you might want to go for a swim.
JAMIE : No, thanks.
NATHAN : It's been a while. I don't think I've seen you in the pool since your accident.
JAMIE : It's okay. I have to feed Chester.
NATHAN : Jamie, are you afraid?
JAMIE : No. I just don't want to.
NATHAN : Are you sure? It might be fun.

COPELAND : Brooke, Angie's tough days are over, okay? And she was very brave about them. It's time for you to be brave.
BROOKE : But I was supposed to have eight more days with her. We were supposed to go to the beach.
COPELAND : Well, that's how the program works. They take the first flight available. Anyway, look, um... When the silence sets in... And it will... Be proud of this. Okay? You've done a great thing here, Brooke. But it's time for Angie to go home... Today.
BROOKE : Yeah.
TREE HILL GYM
Nathan is practicing with Quentin. Jamie is watching
QUENTIN : So you got something for me, man?
NATHAN : Just shut up and check the ball, "Q."
QUENTIN : Oh... Crossover's a little rusty, son. Huh? Fake this guy. Ha ha ha. Where that a.C.C. Game at, Nate? Hmm? First-Team all-American? NBA lottery? Huh? Ugh, up out of here, man.
(Nathan tries to make a shot but Quentin stops it)
NATHAN : Damn it!
QUENTIN : The fadeaway, Nate? Really? Are you serious? The fadeaway is weak, man! Weak! Come on, man. Let's go again.
NATHAN : No, man. I'm not feeling today. I'm done.
QUENTIN : Hey, J. Scott... Why don't you run out in the hallway and get us some waters?
JAMIE : Okay.
(Jamie starts going)
QUENTIN : Hey. You see any hot psycho nannies out there, You run back in here, okay?
JAMIE : Not funny.
(Jamie leaves)
QUENTIN : What's going on, Nate?
NATHAN : I'm just out of shape.
QUENTIN : No, man. That ain't it. That is not it. Now, every day we do this, and every day you play soft.
NATHAN : Well, maybe that's because I can't do this anymore.
QUENTIN : Really? Maybe you just scared to, right? Huh? Easier to have your dream taken away than give it a shot and fail, right?
NATHAN : I'm not scared.
QUENTIN : Right? You not scared? Well, you playing scared.
NATHAN : I'm not scared.
QUENTIN : You playing scared!
NATHAN (yelling) : I am not scared, man!
(Jamie comes back and hears his father yelling. Nathan sees him)
NATHAN'S CAR
Jamie and Nathan get in the car after practice. Nathan is still angry
JAMIE : I'm... I'm afraid to go in the pool, daddy.
NATHAN : Yeah, but, uh... You went in the pool all the time before your accident, Jamie, and you loved it. You know you can still do it.
JAMIE : I know. I'm just...scared.
(After a blank)
JAMIE : It's okay if you don't play anymore.
NATHAN : Thanks, son.
PEYTON'S OFFICE
Haley enters the office.
HALEY : I'm dying here.
(Peyton doesn't answer)
HALEY : You okay?
PEYTON : Huh? Yeah. Uh, I-I just got a weird e-Mail from Mia saying she met this guy out on tour that said he knew Ellie. So it just caught me off guard... How come you're dying?
HALEY : Oh, because I'm having trouble writing lyrics for this melody that you liked.
PEYTON : Okay, what do you got so far?
HALEY : So far I've got nothing.
PEYTON : All right. How about... "I hate you, bitch. You ruined my life"? Does that do anything for you?
HALEY : You know what? I do have some words for you, even though they're not mine. Lucas and I, we used to write our predictions every year before the school year started. Sort of what we hoped would happen.
PEYTON : Lame.
HALEY : You know you're jealous.
PEYTON : Kind of.
HALEY : Anyway, I'm gonna violate my friendship rule here because you're at, like, code red.
(Peyton starts reading)
HALEY : "Peyton sawyer will become Peyton Scott." That was, like, eighth grade. He got a little cocky sophomore year. "Make out with Peyton sawyer... or more." And, "this year, I'll talk to Peyton Sawyer." "Try again with Brooke... Brooke Davis."
(Both laugh)
HALEY : Well, that... But, you know, this is how much he doesn't hate you. It's a whole lifetime's worth.
PEYTON : I know. I know. That's... That's what he writes. But what he says is a totally different story.
HALEY : Sometimes people write the things that they can't say.
LUCAS' BEDROOM
Lucas is putting parts of license plates on his wall. Someone knocks at the door.

(Lindsey is looking at what Lucas was doing)
LINDSEY : This is nice, Luke.
LUCAS : Lindsey, what are you doing here?
LINDSEY : Uh... I needed to talk to you about something, but... You wouldn't answer your phone.
LUCAS : You look good.
LINDSEY : You look hung over.
LUCAS : Yeah, well... There's a girl I almost married started dating again. And after that, well, things just kind of went dark.
(He laughs)
LINDSEY : The book's done.
LUCAS : Oh, come on. The... The ending needs work. I haven't even written a dedication yet.
LINDSEY : You can e-Mail the dedication.
(After a blank)
LINDSEY : The book's done, Luke. It's perfect. So... I think this is goodbye. And goodbye shouldn't happen over the phone.
(She kisses him on the check and starts leaving)
LUCAS : Lindsey... Do you ever miss me?
LINDSEY : I should go.
(Lindsey leaves. We see Lucas' phone vibrating on the bureau, it's a voice mail from Brooke)

Don't be afraid to be great, son. Okay? 'Cause you are. And the world isn't strong enough to beat James Lucas Scott. I promise. We love you.

I'm the one who needs time to make amends. So why don't you just take one for the team, huh? And if you do... I'll use my time for redemption. Okay?
(Nothing happens)

(Dan shows Carter Jamie's note)
DAN : Hope.

We see Lucas and Brooke leaving the airport
MOUTH'S OFFICE
Millicent and Mouth are alone in an office
MOUTH : Thanks for the lunch, and telling the new sports guy off. But I should probably get back to being shunned.
MILLICENT : I'm sorry it's so hard for you now.
MOUTH : You know something? I stand by what I did. Luke was really hurting, and it just felt insidious somehow to broadcast that pain.
(Jerry interrupts them)
JERRY : Mouth, how many men's basketball championships has UCLA...
MOUTH : Eleven
(Jerry leaves)
MOUTH : I don't know what to do now.
MILLICENT : Omaha.

HALEY : The trifecta. How nice. What did Lindsey want?
LUCAS : She wanted to tell me that my book's done. Well, everything except the dedication. She said I could e-Mail that to her.
(After a blank)
LUCAS : I'm thinking about... Taking off for a little while, you know?
HALEY : Lucas, please stop running. Come on... You got to let go of this dark weight you're carrying around.
LUCAS : This morning... Nathan told me the darkness doesn't have any answers.
HALEY : He's right. You saw him after his accident. And look at him now.
LUCAS : Yeah.
HALEY : You know that romantic notion that all the garbage and the pain Is actually really healing and beautiful and sort of poetic? It's not. It's just garbage, and it's pain. You know what's better? Love. The day that you start thinking that love is overrated is the day that you are wrong. The only thing wrong with love and faith and belief... Is not having it.
THE AIRPORT
Lindsey is on the phone
WOMAN : hey, they want to do a conference call about the Lucas Scott galleys.
LINDSEY : Okay, just, uh, have them call my cell. And then you should take off. Thanks.

LINDSEY : No. Bye.
(She hangs up and looks at her messages. She reads the dedication Lucas sent to her:"...to all those lost souls who have forgotten to believe in the immensity of love". Then she calls Lucas, crying, but reaches his voice mail)
LINDSEY (to the voice mail) : Hi, Luke. Just got your dedication... and... I guess I'm one of those lost souls because... I lied to you. I said I was seeing someone, and I wasn't. The truth is... I was afraid of the immensity of your love, and I thought... Well, I just wanted you to know... You asked me if I miss you. Of course I miss you. That's all I do.

BROOKE : I don't know. Probably at work. I didn't tell her Angie was leaving for sure.
LUCAS : And you told me not to come to the airport. Why?
BROOKE : I don't like you guys to see me like this... Vulnerable.
LUCAS : That's how I always see you, Brooke. And I think it's kind of beautiful. You know, um... I've been thinking about all the things you've done for... Angie and Rachel and me and... All kinds of people. You save people, Brooke Davis. It's what you do. Thanks for letting me share that.
(After a blank)
LUCAS : You call me when she's home safe, okay?
(Lucas starts leaving)
BROOKE : Hey, Luke. We've been through a lot... Me and you. I wouldn't have made it through today or a couple other days without you. So, thanks.
LUCAS : You're welcome.
BROOKE : This is for you.
(She gives him the purple monkey)

STEVE : ...They won seven consecutive titles from 1966 to 1974...
MOUTH : A streak that was broken by North Carolina state In one of the greatest final-Four games of all time. Of course, sports fans may remember the last big area signing was Tree Hill's Nathan Scott, who played locally at Tree Hill High, Gilmore College, and was ultimate a first-Team all-American at the university of Maryland... STEVE : ...and ultimately was a first-Team all-American...
MOUTH : We'll be back after this. I'm... Say your name.

PEYTON : I know. While I'm asleep, I have this dream where... We're back in that hotel room in LA, and you proposed to me. And every single time, I say yes.

LINDSEY (in a cab) : Hello? Lucas is on the phone
LUCAS : Hey, it's me. Look, I'm at the airport, and I've got two tickets to Las Vegas. Do you want to get married tonight?


-[Real World]-
(Henry is in a convenience store by the comic books. He's flipping through one when a girl, who is roughly Henry's age, approaches him.)
Ava: Whatcha reading?
Henry: The Hulk versus Wolverine.
Ava: I'm Ava. I think I've seen you around school. You're in Miss Blanchard's class, right?
(Henry nods. Another boy close to their age walks up to Ava.)
Nicholas: Almost ready, Ava?
Ava: This is my brother, Nicholas.
Nicholas: Hi. Come on - let's go.
Ava: You want to come hang out?
Henry: Sure!
(The three go to leave the store, but are stopped by the owner.)
Mr. Clark: Where the hell do you think you're going? Open up your bag.
Henry: What?
Mr. Clark: Don't think I didn't see you rob me. Open your bag.
Henry: I didn't take anything.
(Mr. Clark takes Henry's bag and looks through it. He pulls out a fistful of candy.)
Mr. Clark: And a liar, too.
Henry: That's why you were talking to me. So your brother could put that stuff in there.
Mr. Clark: Henry... I'm shocked. And you two - just who do you think you are?
-[Fairy Tale World]-
(In the forest, a man is hacking at a tree with an axe until he manages to topple it. Gretel and Hansel appear from behind another tree.)
Father: Ah! A fine specimen. The wood it provides will keep our family's hearth warm this winter.
Gretel: Can't I have an axe?
Father: Huh?
Gretel: You did say you wanted me here so I could help.
Father: That I did. So, here's your task - take the cart, go fill it with kindling. The drier the better.
Gretel: Okay.
Father: And have your brother accompany you.
Gretel: Okay.
(Gretel picks up the end of the cart and goes to leave.)
Father: Wait!
(The Father removes the compass from around his neck and places it over Gretel's head.)
Father: Take this.
Gretel: Your compass?
Father: So you don't get lost. A family always needs to be able to find one another.
Gretel: Yeah.
Father: Okay. Go. Be safe.
(Hansel and Gretel take the cart and go deeper into the woods.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Hansel and Gretel are still collecting kindling for their father. Hansel has a slingshot and is shooting rocks into the forest.)
Gretel: It's getting late. We should go.
(She takes his slingshot.)
Hansel: Hey! Give it back. Come on, Gretel! Give it back.
Gretel: No, Hansel. We need to get back to Father.
Hansel: Fine.
Gretel: Follow me.
(Gretel leads them to the area where their father was cutting down trees. However, there is no one there.)
Gretel: This is where we left him.
Hansel: So why isn't he here?
Gretel: Father!
Hansel: Father!
(They hear a noise in the distance and start running in that direction.)
Gretel: Father! Father! Father!
(They end up coming to a road that cuts through the woods. When they turn to head down it, they encounter several of the Evil Queen's guards on horseback, as well as the Evil Queen's carriage. Two of the guards drag Hansel and Gretel to the carriage. The Evil Queen steps out.)
Evil Queen: What are you doing in my forest?
-[Real World]-
(Mr. Clark, Regina, Henry, Ava and Nicholas are at the convenience store.)
Mr. Clark: Well, I'm sorry, Madam Mayor, but your son was shoplifting.
Regina: Were you?
(Henry shakes his head.)
Mr. Clark: Look for yourself.
Regina: My son doesn't eat candy. And he knows better than to steal. It was obviously those two. We're going.
(Regina and Henry head for the door. Emma walks in just before they get a chance to leave.)
Emma: Henry. What happened?
Regina: Miss Swan, must I remind you that genetics mean nothing. You're not his mother and it's all taken care of.
Emma: I'm here because I'm the Sheriff.
Regina: Oh, that's right. Go on - do your job. Take care of those miscreants.
(Regina and Henry leave the store.)
Emma: Did you call their parents?
Mr. Clark: Uh, the number they gave me was disconnected.
Emma: Did you guys give Mr. Clark a fake number?
(Ava and Nicholas shake their heads.)
Emma: Then why's it disconnected?
Ava: Cause our parents couldn't pay the bill.
Emma: And you guys are just trying to help out, huh?
Ava: Please - please don't arrest us. It will just make things worse for our parents.
-[Fairy Tale World]-
(Hansel, Gretel, and the Evil Queen are still on the road in the forest.)
Gretel: Please forgive us. We didn't mean to bother you, we just... We just lost our father.
Evil Queen: Two helpless children. Lost and alone. A family torn asunder. Such a sad and moving story. Guards - seize them!
(Gretel takes out Hansel's slingshot.)
Gretel: Hansel, run!
(Hansel runs into the forest. Gretel flings a rock at the approaching guard, which disorientates him enough for her to get away. Gretel follows Hansel into the forest. The guard starts to chase after them, but the Evil Queen stops him. Hansel and Gretel are running up a hill, when the Evil Queen dissipates and appears in front of them.)
Evil Queen: Running from me is foolish.
(Hansel and Gretel attempt to get away, but the Evil Queen summons a group of vines to catch them. The vines wrap around them, leaving them immobilized on the ground.)
Evil Queen: Foolish, but also brave. And that bravery may just have saved you and your family's lives.
(The Evil Queen vanquishes the vines.)
Gretel: You... You're letting us go?
Evil Queen: Oh, I'm doing so much more than that. I'm going to find your father.
Hansel: You are?
Gretel: Why?
Evil Queen: Because you two are going to do something for me.
Gretel: And then, you'll take us home?
-[Real World]-
(Emma pulls up to Nicholas and Ava's house.)
Emma: This it?
(Ava nods. Emma takes off her seatbelt and goes to get out of the car, but Ava stops her.)
Ava: Please, no. If our parents see you, they'll be so embarrassed.
Emma: Did Henry tell you about my superpower?
Ava: We just met him.
Emma: I have the ability to tell when anyone is lying. Tell me the truth - money problems aside, is everything okay at home?
Ava: Yeah, we're great. Can we go?
Emma: Alright.
(Ava and Nicholas get out of the car with a bag of stuff and go up the stairs of the house. They stop at the front door, turn around, and wave at Emma. Emma drives off.)
Ava: She's gone. We're good.
(They don't go inside the house, and instead go back down the stairs. They go around back, where they jump a fence. They end up behind an abandoned house, which they enter through the basement. Inside, Ava unpacks the things they picked up from store and Nicholas sits on the bed. Suddenly, they hear a noise coming from upstairs. When they go to investigate, they end up finding Emma.)
Emma: Why'd you guys lie to me? Where are your parents?
Ava: We don't have any.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(At Mary Margaret's apartment, Ava and Nicholas are eating at the table, while Emma and Mary Margaret talk off to the side. Emma is holding a file about the kids.)
Emma: Do you know them? Do they go to your school?
MMB: I've seen them, but... I had no idea. None of us did.
(Emma opens the file she's holding.)
Emma: Ava and Nicholas Zimmer. They said their mother was a woman named Dory Zimmer. She died a few years ago. No one seems to know her or remember her.
MMB: And the father?
Emma: There isn't one. At least not one that they know.
MMB: What does, uh... What does Social Services say?
(Emma gives Mary Margaret a look.)
MMB: You didn't report them.
Emma: I report them, I can't help them. They go into the system.
MMB: The system that's supposed to help.
Emma: Yeah, the system I knew and was in for sixteen years. Do you know what happens? They get thrown into homes where they are a meal ticket - nothing more. These families get paid for these kids and as soon as they're too much work, they get tossed out and it all starts over again.
MMB: But they're not all like that.
Emma: All the ones I was in.
MMB: What? We're just going to adopt them?
Emma: I want to look for their father. They don't know him. He may not know they exist.
MMB: And you think if he knows, he'll want them?
Emma: I don't know. But what I do know, is it's hard enough finding foster families to take one kid that isn't theirs, let alone two. It's their best shot, or-
(Ava, who was eavesdropping, interrupts. She is in tears.)
Ava: We're going to be separated?
Emma: No. That's not going to happen.
Ava: Please - please don't let it.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Emma enters the office of Mr. Krzyszkowski.)
Emma: Excuse me. Mr...Krzyszkowski?
Mr. Krzyszkowski: Yeah, it's Krzyszkowski. Everyone calls me K.
Emma: Mr. K. I am Sheriff Swan. I'm hoping to look at the birth certificates of Ava and Nicholas Zimmer.
Mr. Krzyszkowski: Alright, just, uh, fill out this form - in triplicate.
(He pulls out three identical forms.)
Emma: Okay.
(Emma starts to fill out the forms, while Mr. Krzyszkowski looks through a filing cabinet.)
Mr. Krzyszkowski: I'm so sorry. Those documents have been recently removed.
Emma: By who?
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Emma confronts Regina in Regina's office.)
Regina: Don't worry, Miss Swan. You can relax. I've contacted Social Services. Turns out these kids are on their own. They need help.
Emma: Which is exactly what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to find their father.
Regina: Well, he doesn't exist.
(Regina hands Emma a file.)
Emma: He has to.
(Emma opens the file. The Father section of the birth certificate only has 'Unknown' written in it.)
Regina: Well, of course, biologically, he exists. But there's no record of him. Which means we have no choice - these children need a home, so they will be put into the foster system.
Emma: Storybrooke has a foster system?
Regina: No, but I've contacted the state. Maine's group homes, unfortunately, are filled. But they put us in touch with two homes in Boston - a boy's home and a girl's.
Emma: They're separating them?
Regina: I don't like it, either. But we've got no choice. You need to have them in Boston tonight.
Emma: Me?
Regina: Well, you wanted to be Sheriff. This is what sheriffs do. Yes, you're taking them.
Emma: No. I promised them they wouldn't be separated.
Regina Well then, perhaps you should stop making promises you can't keep. These children need a home. I'm just trying to find the best one. -[Fairy Tale World]-
(The Evil Queen, Hansel, and Gretel are walking through the woods. Gretel is fiddling with her compass.)
Evil Queen: What is that?
Gretel: My father's compass. He gave it to me so I could find him, but now it's broken. When are you going to tell us where we're going?
Evil Queen: This is close enough.
Gretel: Close enough to what?
Evil Queen: The home of the Blind Witch.
Hansel: That doesn't sound good.
Evil Queen: She has something of mine. And I need you to get it back.
Gretel: What is it?
Evil Queen: Something I need to defeat a very wicked and powerful enemy. It's kept in a black leather satchel inside her house.
Gretel: Well, why don't you get it yourself? How come you need us?
Evil Queen: Because the house is protected by magic. I can't enter. But, luckily, the spell doesn't work on children. You'll have to wait here until nightfall. And then, once the witch is asleep, you can sneak in.
Gretel: And if we do this, you promise you'll find our father?
Evil Queen: Oh, indeed, I will. But there's one more thing - the witch's house is...unique. And because of this, you have to take special precaution once you're inside.
Gretel: Like what?
Evil Queen: No matter what you do, no matter how you're tempted - don't eat anything.
(The Evil Queen pulls back a branch, revealing the Blind Witch's gingerbread house.)
-[Real World]-
(Emma is in her office at the station. She has a pile of files and papers on her desk, which she's sorting through. Henry, who has his book with him, enters the room.)
Henry: Any luck?
Emma: No.
(He puts the book on the desk and flips through it.)
Henry: I know who they are. They're brother and sister, lost, no parents - Hansel and Gretel.
Emma: Anything in there about the dad?
Henry: Just that he abandoned them.
Emma: Great. Sounds like a familiar story. Whoever this guy is, he could be in Laos by now.
Henry: No, he's here.
Emma: Just how do you know that?
Henry: Cause no one leaves Storybrooke. No one comes here, no one goes. It's just the way it is.
Emma: I came here.
Henry: Because you're special. You're the first stranger here - ever.
Emma: Right - I forgot. Well, if he's around here anywhere, I'm going to find him.
Henry: Can you tell me about him?
Emma: I don't know anything yet.
Henry: Not their father - mine. I told you about your parents and now, you're even living with your mom.
Emma: Mary Margaret isn't... She's... Never mind.
Henry: Please?
Emma: I was pretty young. I'd just gotten out of the foster system and the only job I could get was at this twenty four hour diner just off the interstate. And, um... Your dad was training to be a fireman. He always got the worst shifts, so he'd come in and order coffee and pie and sit at the counter and always complain that we didn't sell pumpkin pie. But he always came back the next night anyway.
Henry: Did you get married?
Emma: Oh, no. Nothing like that. We just... We hung out a few times outside of work and...life happened. His got better and mine got worse and... I got into some trouble.
Henry: And you went to jail.
Emma: Yeah. Before I went, I... I found out I was pregnant with you. And I tried to contact him, and I found out that he died saving a family from a burning apartment building. So, you think I'm a saviour, Henry - he was. Your father was a real hero.
Henry: Do you have anything of his? Something you can remember him by. Something I could see.
Emma: I... I don't. Henry, I'm sorry. I got to go. I may know how to find this guy.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Ava and Nicholas are eating cookies at Mary Margaret's. Emma comes downstairs with a box.)
Emma: I want to show you guys something.
(Emma pulls a blanket out of the box.)
Nicholas: What's that?
Emma: It's my baby blanket. It's something I've held onto my whole life. That's the only thing that I have from... From my parents. I've spent a lot of time with a lot of kids in your situation, and all of them - all of us - we held onto stuff. I want to find your father, but I need your help. Is there anything of his you've held onto?
Ava: I might have something. But if I give it to you, you'll make sure we stay together, right?
Emma: Right.
(Ava pulls a compass on a chain out of her pocket and hands it to Emma.)
Emma: A compass.
Ava: Our mom kept it. She said it was our dad's.
Emma: Thank you.
Ava: Did you find them?
Emma: Who?
Ava: Your parents.
Emma: Not yet. But I'm going to find yours.
-[Fairy Tale World]-
(Hansel and Gretel are outside the gingerbread house. Hansel goes to eat icing off the side of the house, but Gretel stops him. Gretel opens one of the windows, and the two enter. Inside, there is a table full of sweets. The two whisper to each other.)
Hansel: How can you be sure she's sleeping?
Gretel: I can't. And remember what the Queen said - not even a lick.
(They see the Blind Witch asleep by the fireplace, along with the leather satchel hanging on the wall.)
Hansel: You're right. Look.
Gretel: And there's the satchel.
Hansel: What do you think's inside it?
Gretel: Does it matter? All that matters, is getting it to the Queen so she can find Father.
(Gretel goes to grab the bag. Hansel, who stays behind by the table of sweets, picks up a cupcake. Gretel removes the bag from its hook, but when she turns around, she sees Hansel take a bite of the cupcake. The Blind Witch awakens. There's a pile of bones at her feet. Hansel and Gretel run for the exit, but the Blind Witch magically locks the door. They try the window, but they are locked, as well.)
Blind Witch: I smell dinner.
-[Real World]-
(Emma enters Mr. Gold's pawn shop. Mr. Gold is at the counter polishing a lamp.)
Mr. Gold: Emma. How lovely to see you. I'm flattered you'd take time off your busy schedule for me. What could I do for you, Sheriff?
Emma: I'm looking for information on this old compass. Any idea where it could have come from?
Mr. Gold: Well, well. Look at the detail. You know, this is crystal. This jeweled setting... In despite the rather unfortunate shape it's in, this is actually a very unusual piece. The person who owned this obviously had great taste.
Emma: And where would someone like that buy it?
Mr. Gold: Right here, of course.
Emma: You know him?
Mr. Gold: Indeed. A piece like this is difficult to forget.
Emma: Do you happen to remember who bought it?
Mr. Gold: Well, I'm good with names, Miss Swan, but maybe not that good. However, as luck would have it, I do keep quite extensive records.
(He walks over to a small filing cabinet on the counter and looks through it.)
Mr. Gold: And... Yes, here we are.
(Mr. Gold pulls out an index card. However, he doesn't read it to Emma.)
Emma: What's your price?
Mr. Gold: Forgiveness.
Emma: How about tolerance?
Mr. Gold: Well, that's a start. The compass was purchased by a Mr. Michael Tillman.
Emma: Anything else?
Mr. Gold: Just a name. But I generally find that's all that one needs.
(Emma goes to leave the shop.)
Mr. Gold: Good luck with your investigation.
(Emma leaves. The camera pans to the index card, which turns out to be blank.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Emma has found Michael at a garage, where he works as a mechanic. He reads the kids' file and looks at their pictures.)
Michael: Not possible.
Emma: Actually, it is.
Michael: Well, I'm sorry, but Dory - she wasn't my, um... It was just once.
Emma: Sometimes, that's all it takes.
Michael: I met her when I was camping and we, um... No. It's not possible. I don't have twins.
Emma: Yes, you do. You have twins that have been homeless ever since their mother passed away. You have twins who have been living in an abandoned house because they don't want to be separated from each other. You have twins who are about to be shipped off to Boston, unless you step up and take responsibility for them.
Michael: Look - I can barely manage this garage. I can't manage two kids. And why are you so sure they're mine?
Emma: Besides the timing...
(Emma pulls out the compass.)
Emma: Have you ever seen this?
Michael: I lost this.
Emma: Let me guess - twelve years and nine months ago? I know it's a lot - believe me, I know. A month ago, a kid showed up on my doorstep - I gave up for adoption - asking for help with...something. And I ended up moving here for him.
Michael: I heard about that - it's the Mayor's son. But staying in town is... It's a lot different than taking him in.
Emma: I don't have my kid because I don't have a choice. You do. Those kids did not ask to be brought into this world. You brought them into this world - you and their mother. And they need you. And if you choose not to take them, you are going to have to answer for that every day of your life. And sooner or later, when they find you - because believe me, they will find you - you're going to have to answer to them.
Michael: I'm really sorry. I am. I don't know anything about being a dad. If it's a good home you're looking for, it's not with me.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Henry, Ava and Nicholas are baking at Mary Margaret's. The phone rings and Mary Margaret answers it.)
MMB: Hello?
Emma: Hey, it's me. I need you to come outside right away.
MMB: Is everything okay?
Emma: Don't say anything in front of the kids, but no, it's not.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Emma and Mary Margaret meet outside.)
Emma: He doesn't want the kids.
MMB: And you don't want to tell them.
Emma: I can't. Because all I'll be telling them is that the false hope I gave them is exactly that.
MMB: The truth can be painful, Emma, but it can also be cathartic.
Emma: I agree with the painful part.
MMB: Well, hey, look - you told Henry the truth that his father's dead and he's handling it great.
Emma: I didn't tell him the truth.
MMB: What?
Emma: Henry's father was no hero and trust me - he does not need to know the real story. Maybe we can hide the kids. Just until we can find a family for them. Someone to take care of them.
MMB: Yes, hiding the twelve year olds is a good plan.
Emma: You have a better idea?
MMB: Emma, maybe there isn't an idea. Maybe you just have to-
(Regina approaches the two on the sidewalk.)
Regina: Sheriff. Shouldn't you be on the interstate?
Emma: What are you doing here?
Regina: Seeing to it that you do your job.
Emma: You know, you don't have to check up on me. I know what I have to do.
Regina: Really? Because those kids are supposed to be in Boston tonight.
-[Fairy Tale World]-
(The Blind Witch locks Hansel and Gretel in a cage. She sticks her arms through the bars and feels around for them.)
Blind Witch: Where are you?
(The Blind Witch grabs Hansel's arm.)
Blind Witch: Oh, yes. Nice and tender. A succulent roast, you'll make.
(The Blind Witch walks away from the cage and walks over to the oven. She opens the oven's door and sticks her hand inside to test the temperature. In the cage, Hansel and Gretel whisper to each other.)
Hansel: Gretel, she's going to cook me! We've got to do something - quick!
Gretel: Stay calm. When she opens the cage to get you, don't try to fight. And while she's carrying you to the oven, grab the key that's in her pocket and toss it to me through the bars.
Hansel: She's coming. She's coming - I can't do it! I'm going to die!
(She approaches the cage.)
Blind Witch: Gravy or butter? Which shall it be?
(The Blind Witch sticks her hand through the bar and feels Gretel's face. Gretel kicks Hansel and he yells out in pain, causing the Blind Witch to think Gretel is Hansel. The Blind Witch unlocks the cage door and pulls Gretel out.)
Blind Witch: Come with me, little boy.
(Gretel steals the key to the cage from the Blind Witch's pocket and throws it to Hansel. Hansel unlocks the cage and frees himself. He runs up a short set of stairs and grabs a pole for a weapon. He ends up tripping on the stairs, which alerts the Blind Witch.)
Blind Witch: Gravy or butter? Gravy or butter? How shall I baste you?
(Hansel raises the pole in his hands, but the Blind Witch magically whisks it away. She approaches Hansel.)
Blind Witch: Butter it is. Time to cook.
(The Blind Witch grabs Hansel and drags him towards the oven. However, Gretel manages to undo the rope on her wrists and pushes the Blind Witch onto the cooking tray. Hansel and Gretel slide the Blind Witch into the oven and shut the door.)
Hansel: Quick, Gretel! Lock her in!
(Hansel grabs the leather satchel from its hook and the two run towards the exit.)
Blind Witch: Let me out!
(Hansel and Gretel escape the gingerbread house. The Blind Witch continues to yell at them.)
Blind Witch: Let me out! You come back right now! Let me out! Let me out!
(The Evil Queen sees the Blind witch in the oven through her magic mirror. She casts a fireball through the mirror, burning the Blind Witch.)
Evil Queen: I would've gone gravy.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(A guard escorts Hansel and Gretel to the Evil Queen at her castle.)
Evil Queen: My dear children. Were you successful in your task?
Gretel: Yes, Your Majesty. Though, we were almost made into dinner.
Evil Queen: Oh. How barbaric.
(The Evil Queen summons the guard away.)
Evil Queen: Now, if I could have my satchel.
(Gretel hands her the bag.)
Evil Queen: I've waited a very long time for this. Let's hope you didn't let me down.
(The Evil Queen opens the bag and pulls out an apple.)
Evil Queen: You did it.
Gretel: Yeah, we did.
Evil Queen: You've got a strong heart, girl. You remind me of myself at your age.
Hansel: We did all that for an apple?
Evil Queen: Oh, trust me, dear boy. This is not just an apple. It's a weapon. A weapon for a very particular and devious enemy. One who's still under the illusion that she's safe.
(The Evil Queen walks over to the vanity, where she puts the apple in a box.)
Gretel: Whatever your plan is, we did what you asked. Now you have to keep your promise and find our father.
Evil Queen: Of course. To reunite your family, so you can live happily ever after. You were left alone in the woods. You deserve better than a father who would abandon you.
Gretel: But he's all we have.
Evil Queen: Perhaps, he doesn't have to be.
Gretel: What do you mean?
Evil Queen: You and your brother have impressed me. You aren't the first boy or girl that I've sent into that...sticky sweet house. But, you are the first to emerge. And as a reward, I've decided to invite the two of you to live with me. Here.
Hansel: You mean that we get to live in a castle?
Evil Queen: Yes. You would have your own rooms, of course. Personal carriages - valets, too. All of your dreams could come true.
Gretel: No. We want our father back. He would never abandon us. And even if he did, we would never want to live with someone as terrible as you.
Evil Queen: Is that so?
Gretel: Yes. We're going to find him, with or without your help. And when we do, we're going to prove you wrong.
Evil Queen: We'll see about that.
(The Evil Queen casts a spell, which creates a purple tornado around Hansel and Gretel.)
Hansel: Gretel? What's happening?
-[Real World]-
(Emma, Ava, and Nicholas are next to Emma's squad car, while Regina and Henry watch from a distance. Emma opens the door to the car and gestures for them to get in.)
Emma: Come on. It's going to be... Here.
(Emma gives Ava back her compass.)
Emma: I'm sorry, but we got to go.
(Ava and Nicholas get in the car.)
Regina: Let's go, Henry.
(Regina puts her hand on Henry's shoulder, but he shrugs her off and runs over to Emma's window.)
Henry: No, you can't take them! They can't leave Storybrooke, Emma! They can't. Something bad will happen.
Emma: Something bad has already happened.
(Emma and the kids drive off.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Emma, Ava, and Nicholas are driving along the road that leads out of Storybrooke. Suddenly, the car starts slowing and the engine starts malfunctioning. They pull off on the side of the road.)
Emma: You've got to be kidding me.
Ava: What happened? What's wrong?
Emma: Engine's stalled.
Ava: Who are you calling?
Emma: Help.
-[Fairy Tale World]-
(The Evil Queen watches Snow White through her magic mirror. She appears to be in the forest with several dwarves.)
Evil Queen: Now she's cavorting with dwarves? When did that happen?
(A guard enters the room.)
Guard: Your Majesty. The prisoner you requested is here.
Evil Queen: Bring him in.
(Two other guards drag in Hansel and Gretel's father. He is shackled.)
Father: I demand to be released. My children are in that forest that you took me from - alone. They could be in great danger.
Evil Queen: Yes, I know all about your children. That compass you gave sweet, little Gretel... Well, I'm afraid it didn't help her find you now, though, did it?
Father: What have you done with them? You tell me where they are!
Evil Queen: Gone. I told them you abandoned them, leaving nothing but a compass to find their way. But I didn't bring you here to answer your questions. You're here to answer mine. I offered your children everything - whatever their hearts desired - and they still chose uncertainty because of their blind faith in you. Tell me why. Hm? Why did your children refuse me?
Father: Because we're a family. And family always finds one another.
Evil Queen: Release him.
Father: You're letting me go?
Evil Queen: You can all be together, as a family, as soon as you all find one another.
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Hansel and Gretel are laying next to each other, unconscious, in the woods. Gretel wakes up first and shakes Hansel awake.)
Gretel: Hansel, wake up! Hansel!
(The two stand up and look around.)
Gretel: She let us go.
Hansel: I'm scared.
Gretel: Don't be. Everything will be fine.
(Gretel takes Hansel's hand and the two start walking. The camera zooms out, revealing that they are in the middle of nowhere in a huge forest.)
-[Real World]-
(Emma is waiting for help outside of the squad car, while Ava and Nicholas sit in the back seat.)
Ava: Nicholas, look!
(The compass moves and appears to be working again. A tow truck pulls over to assist them. The driver, who ends up being Michael, gets out of the truck. He sees Ava and Nicholas, who are looking out the back window of the car.)
Michael: Those are them.
Emma: Those are them.
Michael: And your car - it's fine?
Emma: I just wanted you to see 'em. Just once. I didn't think I could do it, either. I gave up Henry because I wanted to give him his best shot. When I saw that he didn't have it, I couldn't leave. I was just as scared - more, probably. But once I saw him, got to know him, I couldn't go back.
Michael: You're taking them? To Boston.
Emma: I don't have to.
Michael: No, you don't.
(Michael walks up to the side of the car, where they roll down the window.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Mary Margaret is folding clothes in her room when Emma enters.)
MMB: Hey. What happened?
Emma: Their dad - he showed up. Changed his mind.
MMB: Changed his mind? Just like that?
Emma: He might have had a little nudge.
MMB: They found their father. That's great.
Emma: I wonder what that would be like?
MMB: Maybe you'll find out. You can't give up.
Emma: I don't know. I kind of think giving up might be the best plan. I think I need to let go.
MMB: No, you don't.
Emma: Really? If they wanted to know me, they wouldn't make it so hard to look.
MMB: Maybe. But maybe there's other reasons. Maybe there is an explanation.
Emma: If there is, it's something crazy. Something even crazier than Henry's theory.
MMB: Yeah? What's Henry's theory?
Emma: Well, that my parents put me in a magical wardrobe and sent me to this world to save them.
MMB: Aw. And who does he think they are?
Emma: Well, for one, you.
MMB: Me?
Emma: Well, Snow White.
MMB: Snow White has a kid?
Emma: Apparently that book you gave him? Not exactly the stories in the most traditional sense.
MMB: I have a kid. You'd think I'd remember that.
Emma: Yeah, you'd think.
MMB: You do kind of have my chin.
Emma: I think I need to go get some air.
(Emma gets up and leaves the room. Mary Margaret follows her.)
Emma: I'm going to go think.
MMB: If you're going to be back later, I can wait to eat with you?
Emma: No, don't do that.
MMB: I'll leave you leftovers.
(Emma heads for the door and Mary Margaret notices Emma's baby blanket in a box.)
MMB: What a pretty blanket.
Emma: Thanks. Goodnight.
(Emma leaves. Mary Margaret picks up the blanket and smells it. She pauses, but puts it down.)
[SCENE_BREAK]
(Emma is reading her file in the car. One article reads 'Still no leads on deadbeat parents - baby Emma remanded to foster system' and another reads '7 year old boy finds baby on side of road'. Henry walks up to the car with a box in hand.)
Henry: Uh, what's that?
Emma: Just an old file. What's up?
Henry: Pumpkin pie. I... I thought you'd like some. It was pumpkin, right?
Emma: Right.
(Emma gets out of the car to meet with Henry.)
Emma: Henry, about your father...
Henry: Yeah?
Emma: I'm glad I told you.
Henry: Me too.
(Henry hugs Emma.)
Emma: Give me that.
(She takes the box from Henry.)
Henry: What you did - with Ava and Nicholas - you really are changing things.
(The sound of an engine is heard in the distance. A man on a motorcycle turns the corner and parks across from Emma and Henry. There is a large wooden box on the back of his motorcycle. He takes off his helmet and approaches Emma and Henry.)
August: Hi.
Emma: Hey.
August: Is this Storybrooke?
Emma: Yeah.
August: Any place to get a room around here?
Henry: Uh, you're staying?
August: That's the plan. Just looking for a bed.
Emma: Granny's Bed and Breakfast is just up the road - another two blocks.
August: Thank you.
(He turns around and walks back to his motorcycle.)
Emma: Hey, I didn't catch your name.
August: Well, that's because I didn't give it.
(He drives off, leaving Emma and Henry alone.)
Emma: I thought you said strangers don't come to Storybrooke?
Henry: They don't.
-[End]-


[Gilbert's house]
(Elena is sleeping. Jonas is in the bathroom, looking at her. She hears noise so she wakes up suddenly. She gets up and goes outside her bedroom. She looks everywhere. She hears a noise behind her so she turns herself and sees Alaric, naked. He has a bowl in his hands)
Alaric: Elena
Elena: I heard something
(Jenna arrives. They're uncomfortable)
Jenna: That was us. I'm sorry
(Jonas is in Elena's bedroom. He takes Elena's hair from her hairbrush and some of other stuff, including a picture of her)
Alaric: Well, I'm naked so I'm gonna go
(He leaves and goes in Jenna's bedroom)
Jenna: I'm really really sorry
Elena: It's okay, Jenna. Don't worry about it
Jenna: I know he's been staying over a lot. Are you sure it's okay?
Elena: Seems like things are good
Jenna: They are extremely good
Elena: Then I'm extremely okay with that
(She goes in her bedroom and lay on her bed. Jonas is waiting in the bathroom. Once she's closed her eyes, he goes outside the bathroom and leaves the house)
[The tomb]
(Stefan and Damon are going under the church ruins to talk to Katherine)
Damon: Let's to it
(They open the tomb's door)
[Gilbert's house]
(Elena opens the door. Stefan and Damon are here)
Stefan: Hey, can we talk?
Elena: Why?
Damon: We went to see Katherine
Elena: Come on in
(They enter the house)
[The tomb]
(The door of the tomb is opened)
Katherine: Please, come on in. There's many room for all of us
Damon: I rather poke my eyes out
Katherine: Hmm, there are such pretty eyes
Stefan: We're here for the moonstone
Damon: Feel like tossing it over?
Katherine: Tell you what, you get a little witch to hocus pocus me out of here and you get whatever you want
Stefan: I thought you liked it in here. Nice and safe where Klaus can't get to you
Katherine: I've time to reconsider
Damon: Meaning you're hungry
Katherine: I'm starving, Damon and dirty but above all, I'm bored. At least running from Klaus was not boring so here the deal: you get me out of here, you get the moonstone and I'll disappear from Mystic Falls forever. Let me know what you decide
(She shows them the moonstone and leaves)
[Gilbert's house]
(Elena, Damon and Stefan are in the kitchen)
Elena: You don't believe her, do you?
Damon: No, of course not. We just want the moonstone
Stefan: According to Rose's friend Slater, there's the way to destroy the spell that Klaus wants to break
Damon: No spell, no doppelganger sacrifice so ergo you live
Elena: How do you destroy it?
Stefan: By releasing it from the moonstone
Elena: How do you guys even know this is gonna work?
Damon: 'cause we have a crafty witch on our side
Elena: You discussed with Bonnie
Stefan: She agreed to do anything she could to help us
Elena: It's Katherine who has the moonstone. She's not gonna give it to you
Stefan: We're gonna get it from her
Damon: Well, what he means to say is we will pray for her cold dead head if we have to
Stefan: Bonnie just needs to find a way to release the seal long enough for us to get in, get the moonstone and get out in time for her to return it
Elena: Whoa, seems like you guys have already all planned out
Damon: Yep, we're awesome
Elena: Except for one thing. I don't want you to do it
Stefan: What are you talking about? Elena, we don't have a choice
Elena: What about Klaus?
Stefan: We'll find him right after we get the moonstone
Elena: Is that before or after that he kills everyone that I care about, including the two of you
(She looks at Damon. He seems stunned)
Stefan: Elena, if we can dispel the moonstone, we can save your life
Elena: I know, everybody keeps saying that
(She leaves. They look at each other)
[Mystic Falls' high school]
(Bonnie is talking with Luka)
Luka: So your grams waited you were in high school to tell you that you're a witch?
Bonnie: She brought it up before but I just thought she was drunk. In my defense, she was
Luka: So then you're like new
Bonnie: Newish. I still have some growing pains
Luka: Like?
Bonnie: Physically it's becoming a lot harder. I have a bad reaction to it sometimes
Luka: Your noise bleeds?
Bonnie: Yeah and I pass out sometimes
Luka: It's because you're trying to do too much on your own. You need help
Bonnie: From what?
Luka: From nature, the elements. Just things you could dry your power from. Do you have channel to another witch before?
Bonnie: What is that?
Luka: Say we put our energy together and we can double our strength. I'll show you. Let me see that bracelet
(She gives him her bracelet and he gives her his army necklace)
Luka: I want you to stand very still and concentrate
Bonnie: I don't get it
Luka: I know
Bonnie: What are we doing?
Luka: We're channeling. They're personal idioms we activate as talisman. Now concentrate
(She closes her eyes, reopens it and looks at him)
Bonnie: What is that?
(He smiles and closes his eyes. The wind is strong. The leafs fly. Everyone runs because there is a lot of wind. Bonnie and Luka are still and have their eyes closed. They open their eyes again. They smile)
(She laughs. Jeremy arrives)
Jeremy: What's with that weather, uh?
Luka: It's global warming man. I don't know. I got to go. See you later Bonnie
Bonnie: Bye Luka
(She smiles)
Luka: Bye
(He smiles and leaves)
Jeremy: The guy is weird, uh?
Bonnie: No he's not
(She still has Luka's necklace in his hands. Her phone rings. She looks at it)
Jeremy: What is it?
Bonnie: It's Damon
[Salvatore's house]
(Elena enter the house. Rose is here. She only wears a nightgown)
Rose: It's not nice to leave a girl naked so early in the morning
(She sees Elena)
Rose: Sorry, I thought you were...
Elena: I... sorry. I...
Rose: There is no one else here
Elena: Actually I came to talk to you
Rose: Then I should probably get dressed
(She smiles)
(They both are in the living room. Rose is dressed)
Rose: It's a bad idea
Elena: No, it's not. From what Stefan told me your friend Slater obviously has more information about Klaus. You and Damon just gave up before you got it
Rose: Because somebody blew up a coffee shop with us in it
Elena: There's more to learn. We just have to find a way to learn it
Rose: Why are you coming to me with this?
Elena: Because you owe me. One word from me and Damon Stefan could have killed you for kidnapping me
Rose: Or maybe it's because you know that they wouldn't want you doing this
Elena: We're having a disagreement, okay? They're willing to risk everyone that i love and I'm not
Rose: They're just trying to protect you
Elena: And you've proven you couldn't care less whether I'm protected or not so we're back to you taking me to Slater
Rose: What exactly do you hope to achieve by this?
Elena: How would you like to be able to walk during the daylight?
Rose: I've been the slave to shadows for 500 years, what do you think?
Elena: I think I know a witch who's willing to do whatever it takes to help if you're willing to make a deal
[Mystic Falls' high school]
(Tyler is playing basketball. Matt rejoins him)
Matt: Hey man, how are you doing?
Tyler: Good and you?
Matt: I pissed myself for picking a fight with you and I'm feeling guilty for what happened to Sarah. I mean, I've been dodging you for days because I didn't know what to say to you
Tyler: Don't worry
Matt: I'm really sorry. Please know that
(He leaves and meets Caroline)
Caroline: Matt
Matt: Hey
Caroline: How are you?
Matt: I've been better. I got to get to class
Caroline: Okay
(He leaves. She rejoins Tyler)
Tyler: You two still on the outs?
Caroline: Looks like it. You realize there is almost a full moon?
Tyler: Vampires don't have enough problems? You want to take on mine?
Caroline: Have you thought about it? The whole wolf thing? Do you know what you're gonna do?
Tyler: I have a plan
Caroline: Well...
Tyler: Kind of private
Caroline: I headed the prom comity, not to mention I single handedly organized this town cleanup campaign and you're really gonna turned out my help?
[Salvatore's House]
(Bonnie is talking with Stefan, Damon and Jeremy)
Bonnie: I might be able to lower the tomb spell long enough for you to get in there and grab the moonstone from Katherine
Jeremy: How? It took both you and your grams last time and look what happened to her
Bonnie: I'm aware of what happened. I've learn a few new things
Jeremy: Bonnie...
(She looks at Stefan)
Bonnie: How will you get it?
Stefan: She hasn't been feeding. She's weaker, we're not
(Damon shows her a glass of blood)
Bonnie: You wouldn't be underestimating her, do you?
Stefan: It's a plan. Is it perfect? What plan is?
Jeremy: Let me do it. I've got my ring, I could get in, get out and no spell necessary
Damon: Jeez thank you 16 years old child. Why didn't we think about that? Why are you even here?
Bonnie: Maybe I can help better the plan. Do you have anything that belongs to Katherine?
(Damon looks at Stefan)
[Somewhere. An apartment]
(Rose knocks on the door but nobody respond)
Rose: Slater? Slater, it's Rose. Open up!
(She looks at Elena)
Rose: He's not home, sorry
Elena: uh uh. We didn't come all the way out of here for nothing
(Rose opens the door with her strength)
Rose: Off to you
(They enter)
Rose: Slater?
(She finds Slater's body)
Rose: I don't think he's gonna be much help
(Elena rejoins her and sees the body too. Then she looks everywhere and finds a lot of papers and computer. She looks at the papers)
Elena: Looks like whoever blew up the coffee shop found him and killed him for his information
Rose: Yeah, probably for helping people like us. The guy was a vampire omeneck. Knowing too much information just beat him in the ass
(Rose opens the curtains)
Elena: What are you...?
Rose: tempted glass, UV rays can't penetrate
(She looks through the window)
Rose: I used to just come here and watch the day
(Elena is looking at a picture of Slater and a girl)
Elena: I'm sorry about Slater
Rose: Any luck?
(Elena looks at one of the computers)
Elena: its password protected, I can't get in
Rose: Then this is pointless, let's just go
(They hear noise)
Rose: Stay here
(She leaves to see what the noise is. She goes in a room and finds a girl)
Rose: Alice?
Alice: Rose
(She embraces Rose. She's crying. Elena looks at them)
[Salvatore's House]
Stefan: This belonged to Katherine. I found it with her things after I thought she was dead but it was hers
(He gives Katherine's portrait to Katherine. She takes it and puts it in a bowl. She puts a few drops of water on it. It burns. She closes her eyes and cast a spell in Latin)
Damon: What was this?
Bonnie: I can turn the metal into ash, blew the ashes on her and it will incapacitate her for a minute or two. Long enough for you to get the stone and get out
(Her nose bleeds but nobody sees her so she cleans it)
[The woods]
(Tyler and Caroline are walking)
Tyler: Matt takes it pretty hard
Caroline: I know. It's better this way
Tyler: I get it
Caroline: You do?
Tyler: Yeah. You can't be honest with him. It's not really fair to be with someone not really let them know who you are. I get it
(He keeps walking toward the old Lockwood property)
Tyler: Right over here. There's a cellar that goes to our old property
Caroline: I know
Tyler: You do?
Caroline: I know that this is the old Lockwood property
Tyler: Watch your step
(They go in the ruins)
Tyler: I'm guessing that's where Mason was headed the night he turned. It's this way
Caroline: Did Mason tell you about this place?
Tyler: Mason bolted before I trigger the curse but I found these
(He shows her nails marks on the wall)
Caroline: Look old
Tyler: And these bolt and chains. I need new chains but the bolt can still hold
(He shows her how resistant the bolt is)
Tyler: I think that's what this place was use for. Full moons
(She looks everywhere and finds something)
Caroline: What's this?
(She takes what she's found. She opens it in front of Tyler. It's a diary)
Caroline: Was it Mason's?
(He looks at the diary and begins to read)
Tyler: "August 31. My body is changing. I'm edgy, angry and impatient. I get some black out, I forget what I say or do. I'm not myself. Not since Jimmy's death. What's happening to me?
(He looks further in the diary)
Tyler: He chronicled everything. "The full moon is tonight"
Caroline: Does he say what happened?
(He finds a memory stick at the end of the diary. He takes it and looks at it. He looks at Caroline)
[Salvatore's house]
(Bonnie puts the ashes on the table)
Stefan: We should get the torches
Damon: Alaric's stakes are in my trunk. Bonnie?
Bonnie: Go ahead. I'm almost done
(They leave. Bonnie is alone with Jeremy)
Jeremy: What are you doing? You're not strong enough
(She puts a finger on his mouth and looks at him)
Bonnie: I'll be fine
Jeremy: You could get hurt
Bonnie: and Elena could die. I'll be fine. I promise
Jeremy: I got this okay? Go get me something to put this in, alright?
(She smiles and goes get him what he asked her. While she doesn't watch, he takes some of the ashes)
[Slater's apartment]
(Rose is comforting Alice. She rejoins Elena who's preparing some tea)
Rose: She found him a few minutes before we did
Elena: How is she?
Rose: Overreacting. Big time
Elena: Her boyfriend just died. There's no such thing as overreacting
Rose: The tears are for her. She didn't care of Slater. She was only dating him long enough to see if he'll turn her
(They both look at Alice. Elena rejoins her and gives her a cup of tea)
Alice: Thank you
(She looks at Elena)
Alice: You look really familiar. Did you know Slater?
Elena: Not personally, no. I just knew that he kept detail records of all of his vampire's contacts and I was hoping that he could point me towards Klaus
Alice: Doubtful. Klaus doesn't want to be pointed out
Elena: Do you know Slater's computer password?
Alice: Are you seriously asking me that right now? I just saw my boyfriend with a stake through his heart
Elena: I understand that. Do you know his password?
Alice: Who do you think you are?
(She drinks. Elena looks at Rose and get closer to Alice)
Elena: What if I could convince Rose to turn you?
(Alice is surprised. Rose is not happy about this)
Elena: Will you show us his files then?
(Alice is on one of Slater's computer. Elena and Rose are with her)
Alice: Someone's been here. The hard disc is completely wiped out
Rose: Probably by the one who killed him
Alice: Lucky for you, Slater was paranoid. Everything's backed up on a mode server
(Rose looks at Elena to speak to her)
Rose: You know that she's not going anywhere near of my blood, right?
Elena: I know but she doesn't
(She gets closer to Alice to see the computer. Rose smiles. Alice has entered the computer thanks to the password)
Alice: Kristen Stewart. God, was it obvious?
Elena: These are all leads to vampires?
Alice: Slater was obsessed. Almost as much as me
Rose: What about that one: Cody Webber? They exchanged dozens of emails about Elijah
Alice: I could call him
(Elena gives her the phone)
Elena: Tell him that we're trying to send a message to Klaus: the doppelganger is alive and she's ready to surrender
Rose: What?!
Alice: Oh my god! I knew I recognized you
Elena: Get him the message please
(She goes in another room. Rose rejoins her)
Rose: What are you doing?
Elena: I'm getting Klaus's attention
Rose: If Klaus knows that you're alive, he'll find you and he'll kill you
(Elena's face is determined. Rose understands)
Rose: Which is exactly what you wanted all along
Elena: It's either me or my family
Rose: So all of this is a suicide mission so that you could sacrifice yourself and save everyone else?
(Alice rejoins them)
Alice: Cody is on his way and he really wants to meet you
[The Tomb]
(Katherine stops and sees Jeremy)
Katherine: The youngest Gilbert. This is an intriguing surprise
Jeremy: I'm here for the moonstone
Katherine: Yeah, the stone. It's very popular today
Jeremy: Just give it to me
Katherine: Naïve little Gilbert. If you want it, you're gonna have to come here and get it
(He drives a stake through her. She removes it but he throws her the ashes. She falls on the floor. She unconscious)
Jeremy: I kind of figured you'd say that
(He looks if the moonstone is on her but she's not)
Jeremy: Come on, where is it?
(He goes further in the tomb and finds it at the bottom of the tomb, on a rock. He runs to get out of the tomb but Katherine rushes over him and bites him. He throws the moonstone out of the tomb)
[SCENE_BREAK]
[The woods]
(Bonnie rejoins Stefan and Damon at the church ruins)
Bonnie: Sorry I'm late. I degrabed the grimoire from home
Damon: Jeremy couldn't take the pressure, uh?
Bonnie: He said he'd be here
(Bonnie and Stefan go in the tomb. Damon's phone rings. He answers. It's Rose)
Damon: Not a good time Rose
Rose: Don't be angry with me
Damon: Why, what did you do?
Rose: You need to get to Richmond immediately
Damon: Tell me
[The Tomb]
(Bonnie and Stefan are in front of the tomb's door. They prepare everything. Stefan sees the moonstone on the floor and rushes over it)
Stefan: What the hell?
Bonnie: Is it the moonstone?
(Katherine stops at the tomb's door. Hers lips are full of blood)
Katherine: I hate to interrupt but today have been full of surprises
(She shows them Jeremy. He doesn't looks well. He has a bite mark on his neck)
Jeremy: I'm sorry. I took some powder
Katherine: Don't worry, I know that he's wearing his ring so no matter how many times I kill him, he'll just be coming back for more. So, I'm gonna be in the back playing with my new little toy and you guys just give me a howl when you got the tomb open
[Jonas and Luka's house]
(Jonas is with Elijah. There are all the things he's stolen from Elena's bedroom on the table)
Elijah: So how exactly does the spell work?
Jonas: Give me your hand
(Elijah gives his hand. Jonas cuts it with a knife)
Jonas: Place it here
(Elijah puts his hand on Elena's picture)
Jonas: Now take my hand
(Elijah takes Jonas's hand)
Jonas: Close your eyes, relax your mind and look for her
(Elijah closes his eyes. Jonas closes his eyes too and cast a spell in Latin)
[Slater's apartment]
(Elena is looking through the window. She sees Elijah's face in it. She turns herself to see if he's here)
[Jonas and Luka's house]
(Elijah opens his eyes)
Jonas: You saw her, didn't you?
Elijah: I know exactly where she is
[The tomb]
(Bonnie is turns on the torches)
Stefan: Where the hell is Damon?
Bonnie: We can't wait; we have to get him out of there
Stefan: She's fed, she has her strength back
Bonnie: We still have what's left of the ash. Do you think you can get close enough?
Stefan: I don't have a choice
Bonnie: It's gonna take me some time
Stefan: How long?
Bonnie: I don't know, a while
Stefan: Just get me in there as soon as you can
[Jonas and Luka's house]
(Luka arrives)
Jonas: So how was school?
Luka: Revealing

[The Tomb]
(Bonnie is still casting the spell. She's Luka's necklace in her hands)
[Caroline's house]
(Caroline and Tyler are in the living room. Tyler puts the memory stick in the computer. It's a videotape from Mason)
Mason: "September 15, 2 hours from the first full moon since I triggered the curse"
Tyler: He tapped his first transformation
(Caroline looks at the diary)
Caroline: There's nothing... September 16. He wrote about everything the next day
(She reads)
Caroline: "I chose the garage. I could double the door. It was far from the street so no one could hear. I bolted hooks to the floor for the carabineers". Like for mountain climbing?
(Tyler is looking at the tape)
Tyler: Retractable cables
(In the tape, Mason drinks something)
Caroline: It's wolfs pain. "I dilated wolfs pain with water to weaken myself but I could barely get it down without plucking. It felt like I was drinking battery acid. Over an hour passed and nothing happened. It got do quiet I could hear my own blood pumping and that's when..."
(On the video, Mason is screaming and moving because of the pain)
Caroline: "I kept thinking at black out and not feel it but I did. I felt all of it"
(Mason is on the floor, crying because of the pain. He's asking for help)
Caroline: How long is it?
Tyler: 3 hours in
(He advances the video)
Tyler: 4 hours
(He keeps advancing it)
Tyler: 5 hours. How long this is last?
(On the video Mason's eyes change and he screams. Tyler gets up. He's almost crying)
Tyler: I can't. I can't do that. Caroline, whatever that was, I can't go through that
[Slater's apartment]
(Elena is drinking water. She looks at Alive but then she turns herself and is face to face with Damon)
Damon: What are you doing here?
Elena: What are you doing here?
(She looks at Rose)

Rose: I'm sorry, Elena.
Elena: You said that you understood
Damon: She lied
(She looks at Damon. Alice arrives)
Alice: Damon Salvatore

Damon: Come on, we're living
Elena: No
Damon: I said we're living
Elena: I'm not going with you
Damon: You do not get to make decisions anymore
Elena: When have I ever made a decision? You and Stefan do that for me but this, this is my decision
Damon: Whose gonna save your life while you're making decisions?
Elena: You're not listening to me, Damon. I don't want to be saved. Not if it means that Klaus is gonna kill every single person that I love
Damon: Get your ass out the door before I through you over my shoulder and carry you out myself
(He catches her arm but she doesn't want to. She wants to beat him with her fist but he catches it and get closer to her)
Damon: Don't ever do that again
[The Tomb]

Katherine: Maybe she is
[Luka and Jonas' house]
(Luka is doing his homework bur he's not good because Bonnie is channeling with him)

Tyler: Why? What did you read?
Caroline: There's a... reason that's called a curse, Tyler
(He reads)
Tyler: "Inimagible pain, I thought it would never end, it was the worse night of my life"
(He closes the diary and sits down on the couch)
Caroline: But... he did say that the transformation speeds up over time. So if you could just get through this first time then...
Tyler: Why are you helping me?
Caroline: What do you mean?
Tyler: Why do you care? You've never been friends before
Caroline: It's not true. I've known you my entire life, Tyler
Tyler: We've never been close. Not like this
Caroline: I don't know. You just seem like you... like you kind of need it
(She sits down next to him)
Caroline: I was alone when I turned. I had no control over my body or my urges and... I killed somebody. I don't want that to happen to you. I don't want you to be alone
(Someone knocks on the door. She goes to open the door. It's Matt)
Caroline: Matt...
Matt: I know I should have called, I'm sorry
Caroline: What are you doing here?
Matt: I don't know but I was driving home from work and just kind of found myself here

Elena: Thank you for coming
(Damon catches his arm)
Damon: I will break your arm
(He looks at Cody)

(The third man is killed and his body falls on the floor. Elijah is here and he killed the man. He gets closer to the two other men. Rose runs out of the apartment)
Damon: I killed you. You were dead
Elijah: For centuries now
(He looks at Cody)
Elijah: Who are you?
Cody: Who are you?
Elijah: I'm Elijah
Cody: We were gonna bring her to you for Klaus. She's the doppelganger. I don't know how she exists but she does. Klaus would want to see her
Elijah: Does anyone else know that you're here?
Cody: No
Elijah: Well, then you have been incredibly helpful
(He rips their hearts apart and throws the hearts on the floor. Damon prepares to fight but Elijah looks at them and leave. Damon looks at Elena. She doesn't understand)
[Luka and Jonas' house]
(Elijah is here. He looks through the window. Jonas rejoins him)
Elijah: Where is Luka?
Jonas: Asleep
Elijah: Your shadow spell was successful. I was able to track that girl. However I did have a little running with one of the brothers that killed me
Jonas: I assume he didn't live to tell about it
Elijah: Actually I spared him. He'd die before he let anything happen to her, they both would. She'll be kept safe
Jonas: For now
Elijah: That's precisely where we need her to be. Safe
[Gilbert's house]
(Bonnie and Jeremy arrive at the house)
Jeremy: I'm home, okay? I don't need an escort to my room
Bonnie: I don't know. Between here and upstairs there's still time for you to do something stupid
Jeremy: I already feel bad. I don't need you to bread me
Bonnie: Stefan is stuck in there and I don't know how to get him out. What should I be doing?
Jeremy: You should admit that you never should have try this in the first place
Bonnie: I didn't have a choice, Jeremy!
Jeremy: Yeah, neither did i
Bonnie: Why did you have to get involve?
Jeremy: Because I didn't want you to get hurt
Bonnie: Look Jeremy... you can't feel that way about me
Jeremy: Don't
Bonnie: What?
Jeremy: Don't act like this is one side and like I'm some kid that has a crush on his sister's friend. You could have died today
(He touches her face)
Bonnie: And you almost did
Jeremy: That was a chance I'm willing to take
(He gets closer to kiss her)
Bonnie: I can't... I can't. I'm sorry
Jeremy: Yeah...
(She looks at him and leaves)
(Elena and Damon arrive at the house. They stop on the porch)

Damon: Well, you ride left you. I didn't want to leave you stranded
Elena: She was just scared. She didn't mean to run
Damon: Yes she did. She's been running for 500 years
Elena: I can't believe Elijah is alive. Why do you think he killed those two vampires and just let us go?
Damon: if I had a dollar for every time some evil vampire surprises me...
(She goes toward the door but Damon catches her arm)
Damon: What you did today was incredibly stupid
Elena: Actually the only thing that was stupid was that I got caught. I don't question why you and Stefan and everyone else try so hard to save me. You shouldn't question why i would try to save all of you. Damon, good night, okay?
(Jeremy opens the door)
Damon: What?
Jeremy: it's Stefan
[The Tomb]
(Elena rushes on the tomb)
Elena: Stefan! Stefan!
(She stops at the tomb's entry. Damon arrives and pushes her against the wall)
Damon: don't you dare
Elena: Stefan's in here, Damon! How could you let this happen?
Damon: What are you talking about? I was too busy saving you from your crazy kamikaze mission
(Stefan and Katherine are in the tomb. They are listening to them)
Elena: You didn't have to go after the moonstone in the first place!
Damon: It was the right call, Elena!
Elena: The right call? How would any of this be the right call? Damon, let go of me! Let go of me!
(She bits him with her fists but he doesn't releases her but she stops)
Elena: Please
Damon: Are you done?
(He releases her. She goes toward the tomb again but he stops her. She looks at him and leaves. She's angry. Stefan rejoins Damon at the entry of the door)
Damon: Of all idiots plan... I'll find a way to get you out
Stefan: No it's alright. I'll head myself. Bonnie has the moonstone. Work with her. Try to figure out how to dispel it
Damon: You martyr yourself into a tomb and I got to partner with a semi competent witch? Wonderful
Stefan: Keep Elena away from here
Damon: Yeah 'cause that will be easy...
Stefan: Promise me. No matter what happens, you'll protect her
Damon: I promise
(He leaves. Katherine rejoins Stefan)
Katherine: That right there was the biggest mistake you've ever made
