Emma, Melissa, and Graham are at the station. Emma holds up a uniform.
"A tie? You know you don't have to dress a woman as a man to give her authority." Emma said
"so, you think you can get people to do what you want in that red coat?" Graham asked Emma
"I'm getting you to do what I want right now." Emma said
"She's right Sheriff. If she wants to work here at least let her wear her own wardrobe. Not dresses. But...you know. Jeans, dress pants, casual boots, that kind of thing." Melissa said
"Well, at least wear the badge. Go on – take it. If you really want to be a part of this community, we have to make it official." Graham said
Emma takes the badge from Graham. When she clips it onto her belt, there is a violent shake. All of the phones at the station start ringing.
The entire town is gathered around what appears to be the entrance to a tunnel. Regina then arrives by car.
Emma, Melissa, and Graham got out of the car. Melissa runs into the nuns and one them was holding her daughter.
"Is my daughter..." Melissa asked as one of the nuns finishes her sentence
"She's fine." Nun said
"Can you keep holding her? I have to do some investigating." Melissa said
"Ok" Nun said
The nun kept holding Jenna.
"Everyone! Step back, please!" Regina said
"Is that a crater?" Ruby asked
"No, there were tunnels – old mines. Something collapsed." Marco said
"Sheriff Graham and Deputy Flair, set up a police perimeter. Marco, why don't you help with the fire department? (Regna gave them orders.) Miss Swan, this is now official town business. You're free to go." Regina said
"Well, actually, I work for the town now." Emma said
"She's our new deputy." Melissa said
"They say the Mayor's always last to know." Regina said
"She's new here and spending time with Henry. She needs a job." Melissa said
"Indeed. Deputy Swan, why don't you make yourself useful and help with crowd control? (Regina gives Emma an order and steps away and stands in front of the crowd of people.) People of Storybrooke, don't be alarmed. We've always known this area was honeycombed with old mining tunnels. But fear not. I'm going to undertake a project to make this area safe – to rehabilitate it into city use. We will bulldoze it, collapse it, pave it. (Henry emerges from the crowd.) Cord off the area."
Henry goes to Archie and whispers to him.
"Hey, Archie! Over here. (Henry, Melissa, Emma and Archie all gather by a police car.) This requires all of Operation Cobra. All three of you." Henry said
"I didn't realize I was in Operation Cobra." Archie said
"Of course you are. You guys know everything. We can't let her do this. What if there's something down there?" Henry asked them
"They're just some old tunnels." Melissa said as she was playing along
"That just happen to collapse right after you get here? You're changing things. You're weakening the curse." Henry said
"That's not what's happening." Emma said
"Yes, it is! Did you do anything different today? Cause something made this happen." Henry said
Regina walks up to the four of them.
"Henry, I told you to wait in the car. Deputy Swan, Deputy Flair both of you do your job." Regina said
Henry with both Melissa and Emma leave in different directions.
Motel
Melissa calls Rebekah.
"Hello!" Rebekah answers
"Hey." Melissa said
"I thought I heard a familiar voice?" Rebekah asked Melissa
"Very funny. So, how've you been?" Melissa asked Rebekah
"Thought that I can build a life." Rebekah said
"You still can. I'm at a place called storybrooke. It's in Maine." Melissa said
"Maine. Storybrooke isn't in the bloody map." Rebekah said
"I guess things can surprise you. Anyways I'm trying to help a lot of people breaking a curse that everyone has no memory of. And watching Jenna at the same time. (Her phone was vibrating and it is Emma calling.) Becks, I have to go. (Melissa hangs up on Rebekah. Answers to Emma.) Hello!" Melissa said
Emma knocks on the door of Archie's office while Melissa stands beside her. When he doesn't answer, she lets herself in. They see Archie in Archie's office.
"Archie! Archie! What did you do? You told me not to take the fantasy away. You told me it would devastate him." Emma said
"What did you do? What the hell is wrong with you?" Melissa asked Archie
"If therapy stops working, you adjust it." Archie said
"Is it her? Did she threaten you? What could be strong enough to drown out your own conscience?" Emma asked Archie
Emma's phone rings. Melissa uses her vamp hearing to hear the conversation.
"Hello, Madam Mayor. Nice work." Emma said
"You with him?" Regina asked Emma
"Yes, I'm with Dr. Hopper and guess what? You left your fingerprints all over him when you tried-" Emma said as Regina interrupt her sentence
"Not him – Henry. Is he with you?" Regina asked again
"I dropped Henry at your office an hour ago." Emma said
"Well, he's not here." Regina said
"I don't know where he is." Emma said
"Oh… I do. (Both Melissa and Emma looked at him.) I know where he's going." Archie said
Emma, Melissa, and Archie are at the entrance to the tunnel and calling Henry's name. Archie's dog is also there with them.
"Henry!" Emma said
"Henry!" Archie said
"Henry!" Melissa said
"Henry!" Emma said
"What do you got there, Pongo?" Archie asked his dog
"I don't think he's here." Emma said
"I think he is. (Archie finds one of the candy bars that Henry had in his backpack. He holds it up.) Candy bar. He had these with him. (Emma, Melissa, and Archie feel the ground starting to shake.) Henry!" Archie said
"Archie!" Emma said
"Henry, it's not safe!" Archie said
"Henry!" Melissa said
"Henry!" Archie said
"Henry!" Emma said
Archie enters the mine. Just as he gets in, the entrance collapses.
"Archie!" Emma said
"Archie!" Melissa said
"Henry!" Emma said
The town is gathered, once again, around the entrance of the tunnel.
"Archie's smart. He will keep the boy safe until we get to them. (The ground starts to shake.) Watch out!" Marco said
"Stop! Stop! You're making it worse!" Regina said
"We're trying to save him!" Melissa said
"You know why he went down there in the first place, don't you? You made him feel like he had something to prove." Emma said
"And why does he think he has anything to prove? Who's encouraging him?" Regina asked Emma
"Do not put this on me." Emma said
"Oh, please! Lecture me until his oxygen runs out!" Regina said
Emma approaches Regina.
"We have to stop this." Emma said
"She's right. Arguing won't accomplish anything." Melissa said
"No, it won't." Regina said
"What do you want us to do?" Melissa asked Regina
"Help me." Regina said
Regina and Emma are still talking.
"We need to find some way to punch through the ground. We need something big." Regina said
"Like what?" Melissa asked in confusion
"Explosives." Marco said
"We could try that." Emma said
The workers lay down the lines for the explosives. Everyone clears out of the area.
"Okay. We're all clear." Melissa said
Everyone positions themselves.
"Blow it. (The explosives are set off, but end up causing the elevator to fall farther down the shaft. Emma runs to the entrance of the tunnel to check the results.) Did it work?" Regina asked them
"It didn't open." Emma said
"Then what did it do?" Graham asked in confusion
Everyone is still gathered around the mine.
"What was that? What the hell was that? You said you could do this!" Regina asked
"Madam Mayor!" Emma said
"They could have killed my son!" Regina said
"We know, but this isn't helping." Melissa said
"If we knew exactly where they were, we could drill down to them. Maybe… Maybe rig something to bring them back up." Marco said
"But drill where?" Regina asked
Emma let Pongo out of the fire truck.
"Come on buddy!" Emma said
"What are you thinking we-" Regina asked as Emma interrupted her sentence
"It's Archie's dog. He's found something. Look!" Emma said
"This is where they must be. What is it? (Graham and Marco move aside a piece of metal. Underneath is a grate.) What is that?" Melissa asked in confusion
"It's an air shaft." Graham said
Marco puts a hook attached to a trunk around the grate.
"Okay. Alright – gun it. That's good! Alright, we got it. Alright." Emma said
The crate is pulled off and everyone looks down the shaft. Everyone is gathered around the air shaft.
"You need to lower someone straight down, or the line will collapse the side of the shaft." Marco said
"I've got a harness." Graham said
"We've got to lower someone down there." Melissa said
"Lower me down." Regina said
"Oh, no way. I'm going." Emma said
"He's my son." Regina said
"He's my son, too. You've been sitting behind a desk for ten years. I can do this." Emma said
"Just bring him to me." Regina said
A moment later Emma, Henry and Archie are pulled out of the elevator shaft. Regina takes Henry aside. Marco grabs Archie and hugs him. Once Emma is unhooked, she runs over to Regina and Henry. Melissa hugged Henry and Archie making sure that they were alright.
"You okay?" Emma asked her son
"Deputy Swan and Deputy Flair, you can clear the crowd away." Regina said as she gives them an order
Regina pushes Emma away and sends Henry off.
It's now nighttime, and most of the town is still at the mine site. Melissa holding Jenna, Emma, and Henry are Watching Archie and Marco talk.
"Is that Archie's father?" Melissa asked Henry
"No, they're just old friends." Henry said
"You really scared me." Emma said to her son
"I'm sorry." Henry said apologized
Both Archie and Marco walk over to them.
"Well, come on. Your mom wants to take you home." Emma said
"Hey! Listen." Henry said
The sound of crickets is heard in the background.
"Crickets." Archie said
"They're back. Things are changing." Henry said
Melissa takes her daughter home.
