Neverland.
David lights a torch. There are chalk markings on the wall. Melissa watching over Tyler. Emma struggles to remove pillows in order to examine the markings more closely. Hook watches Emma.
"What's wrong?" Mary Margaret asked her daughter
"Look here." Emma said
"Neal stopped counting." Melissa said
"He lost hope." Emma said
"You got that from scribbles?" Regina asked Emma
"I got that because it's what I did. Every time I went to a new foster home. I counted days until counting seemed pointless." Emma said
"You think the same thing is happening to Henry?" Melissa asked Emma
"Pan said it would." Emma said
"Hey, we're gonna rescue him." Melissa said
"Yeah, I know that. But, Henry doesn't know that. Pan wants him to lose faith." Emma said
"So, what? You want to send him a message? Because I haven't seen a Neverland post office. What are you suggesting?" Regina asked again
"We take a page from Pan. And we start being clever. We need to send a simple sign. A sign that we're coming." Emma said
"With Lost Boys running around trying to kill us all? My friend. He's dying. And we just can't sit around on our asses and do nothing. I care about Henry too. But I've to save Tyler." Melissa said
"Maybe it's time we use that to our advantage." Mary Margaret said
Emma, Mary Margaret, and Regina make ropes.
"A trap? That's your plan?" Regina asked Mary Margaret
"The Lost Boys wanna come after us, we need to go after them." Mary Margaret said
"You really think, the Lost Boys are gonna betray Pan?" Hook asked Mary Margaret
"Thanks for the advice. David?" Mary Margaret asked her husband
"Yeah?" David said
"We need more vines." Mary Margaret said
David panting. "On it. You're coming with me, pirate." David said
"Why's that?" Hook asked David
"Because, we need more rope." Emma said
Hook bows.
"If the lady insists." Hook said
"You too Melissa." David said
"I can't just leave Tyler." Melissa said
"I'll look after him." Regina said
"Thanks." Melissa thanking Regina
Both Hook and Melissa follows David. He and Melissa picks up vines. Hook follows close behind.
"What would you like to yell at me about now, Dave?" Hook asked David
"Stay away from my daughter." David threatens Hook
Melissa get's in the middle.
"What the hell is going on?" Melissa asked both David and Hook
"Melissa. You don't see it. Do you?" David asked Melissa
Melissa looks at Hook.
"So, Captain Hook has a crush on the savior. How cute." Melissa said
"She can take care of herself. Which is a good thing." Hook said
"What does that mean?" David asked Hook
"It means you're gonna die in a day or so, anyway." Hook said
"You're another victim of the dreamshade." Melissa said
"How do you know that?" David asked Melissa
"Vampire hearing. I'm not that stupid. I heard you and Hook's conversation." Melissa said
"I'm sorry." David apologize
"You don't have to apologize to me. Just to your wife and daughter." Melissa said
"But, if I do die,…" David as Hook interrupt his sentence
"When?" Hook asked again
"It'll be in helping my family and that something someone like you can't understand." David said
"There is a cure for you and Tyler." Hook said
"Anything that takes us off course of saving Henry, is selfish. But, of course, you would think that was the way to go." David said
"Bugger off. You think, I'm being selfish? I'm risking my life for all of you, every moment I'm here aligned against him." Hook said
"Please, you're not here out of any nobility. You're here for Emma. And let me tell you something else: You're never gonna get her. I'll see to that." David said
"It's a good thing you're gonna die then. (David intends to punch Hook in the face, but he staggers. Hook catches him by the arm.) Mate. Mate, stop. I don't fight invalids. (Settles an unconscious David on the ground.) Mate? Mate?" Hook shakes him
Melissa bends down. Her veins and fangs appeared and bites her own wrist and let's David drink it.
David coughs as he wakes up.
"I'm okay." David said
"It took some of the swelling down. But you will still feel weak." Melissa said
Melissa helps David up.
"Let me see. Let me see that." Hook said
"No." David said
"Let him see for crying out loud." Melissa said
Reluctantly, David lifts his shirt. The right side of his chest is covered with black veins all over it. The uppermost veins begin to spread to the left.
"The Dreamshade has almost reached your heart. It's hours now. You have to tell your family." Hook said
"No. Not, when I can still help them save Henry." David said
David tries to move, but he staggers again. Melissa catches him.
"Catch your breath, mate." Hook said
With an effort David picks something from the ground.
"What's that?" Melissa asked David
David taking a closer look.
"It's a military insignia. (David reading the name embossed on it.) „Jones". You know him?" David asked again
"From before, didn't you say that your real name was Jones?" Melissa asked again
"Aye, he was my captain. And my brother. We voyaged this infernal island a long time ago. This was on the strap of his satchel my brother lost during a duel with Pan. It must have washed down with the rains from the storms that wrecked the Jolly Roger." Hook said
"From where?" David asked again
"There. Dead Man's Peak. I thought it was gone forever." Hook said
"What was gone?" Melissa asked again
"No, it's too dangerous." Hook said
"What's too dangerous? If you know something that can help us, don't hold back." Melissa said
"If this insignia survived all this years, then perhaps my brother's satchel did as well. And inside this satchel is a sextant, that can help us to decode Neal's star map that can get us off this island." Hook said
"I know now. We're gonna find this thing." David said
"Well, look, you might reach the top, but you'll die before you return. Especially Tyler." Hook said
"Then, come with us and make sure the sextant gets back to Emma." Melissa said
"You ready to be a hero?" David asked again
Campsite.
"A sextant? You're telling us about this now?" Emma asked Hook
"How do we know you're not lying?" Regina asked Hook
"He's not. Just trust me on this." Melissa said
"It's the best hope yet we've had of an exit plan. And don't forget, we're gonna need one." Hook said
"Then what are we waiting for?" Emma asked again
"Emma...You were right. We need to get that message to Henry. And every day without hope is a day closer to becoming a lost boy. With Tyler who just got poison by the dreamshade. I've found a cure. David and I are going to help Melissa with Tyler. We're going to have to split up." Hook said
"Hook's right." David said
"Uh, you wanna split up?" Mary Margaret asked her husband
"It's the last thing I wanna do." David said
"He can get us home." Melissa said
"Ok." Mary Margaret said
"And, Emma, while I'm gone, just..." David said as Emma interrupt his sentence
"Listen to my mother?" Emma asked her father
"Be careful." David said
"Always am." Emma said
"And when you send that message to Henry, add something to it, would ya?" David asked his daughter
"Mm-hmm." Emma said
"Tell him... tell him grandpa loves him." David said
"Oh. Um, okay. Good luck." Emma said
"Yeah. You, too." David said
"Is everything all right?" Mary Margaret asked again
"Yeah. I just... I've gotta go." David said
"I'll see you soon." Mary Margaret said
"Well, you know, Neverland's a dangerous place, and... You know, you... you just never know what's gonna happen." David said
"So... David. You're gonna be fine. Right. Mmm. (Mary Margaret whispers.) I love you." Mary Margaret said
"Melissa?" Emma asked Melissa
"Yeah?" Melissa said
"Be careful." Emma said
Melissa hugged Emma.
Melissa carries Tyler and follows both Hook and David.
"How are you holding up, lass?" Hook asked Melissa
"Don't worry about me." Melissa said
"Good-byes are pretty hard. Looked a bit stormy back there." Hook said
"It had to be done, and I did it out of love. Emma and Mary Margaret will understand that." David said
"You gonna tell them that from beyond the grave?" Hook asked David
"No. You are. You and Melissa are going to tell them that I died a hero, fighting for their way home. What you're not gonna tell them is that I left already a dead man." David said
"No. You and Tyler are going to make it. Hope is all we have. We can never give up on that. I know that I maybe new to all of this. But Tyler is apart of it now. He's my daughter's father and he's also my friend. But I'm not going to give up on him. Because to friends and family. We don't give up on one another." Melissa said
"The lass has a point. This is where we ascend. I'll climb ahead and throw down the rope." Hook said
Breathing heavily.
"He was your brother, right? I had a brother, too, you know. A twin. Mm. (David grunts.) He died before I ever met him." David said
"There were two of you? I can barely stomach one." Hook said
"Ah, you would've liked him. He was a thief and a liar." David said
"Yeah, you would've liked my brother. He could be a stubborn ass." Hook said
Melissa sat Tyler down gently.
"For me. Well, Jeremy. It's more complicated. Jeremy was somehow my adopted brother but also cousin." Melissa said
"Wow." David said
"Like I said. Complicated. Even though finding out that Elena is my fraternal twin. People can tell us apart cause we don't look like twins." Melissa said
"Everyone knows that." David said
"Now wait here." Hook said
Vines snap.
Hook was already up there and took a few minutes. David was climbing up there and Melissa picks up Tyler and jumps so that she can't climb. David groans and grunts.
"Bloody hell. I told you to wait." Hook said as he is panting
"Were you talking to someone?" Melissa asked Hook
"Just talking to myself. It's... old habit from many nights on the lonely seas." Hook said
"Well, I'm glad to see you're enjoying the refreshments while you do it." Melissa said
"Apologies. It isn't much farther now. (Various animals making noises. Hook sighs.) Since you and Tyler are already dying from the stuff, you won't mind if I stand back while you..." Hook said
David holds a sword against Hook. Melissa lays Tyler gently.
"David, what are you doing?" Melissa asked David
"Protecting us from him. (Melissa vamps speed over to Hook and blocks him from David.) What are you doing? He's the enemy." David said
"On this island he's not." Melissa said
"He help Greg and Tamara vervain you." David said
"This time it's different. I see that look in his eye. I see that he wants to change. He's trying to prove something to Emma. Yes he was talking to Pan. He didn't agree with anything of what he said." Melissa said
"This is what he wanted, to turn us against each other." Hook said
Tyler wakes up. He gets up and stands in the middle.
"What I've learned from the wolf pack. We can't fight one another. We've always have to stick together." Tyler said
Tyler screaming pain. Melissa pulls up his shirt and sees the venom spreading.
"We've to hurry up. Jenna can't lose him. Not her father. Find this sextant." Melissa said
"My brother didn't lose his satchel up here. I made that up." Hook said
David exhales sharply.
"What about the insignia?" David asked in curiosity
"I dropped it on the path so you'd find it. I knew you'd never make the journey here if I told you the truth." Hook said
"The truth? The truth... You brought me and Tyler here to die?" David asked again
"I brought you and Tyler here to save the two of you!" Hook said
"You're a liar!" David said as he fainted
Melissa looks at Hook.
"Get the cure. Now. (Hook covers his face and cuts down the thorns. He get's the cure but sees waterfall. He get's his canteen out and let the water pour into it.) Tyler! Tyler! (Melissa slaps Tyler lightly.) Come on. Wake up. You can't do this to our daughter." Melissa said
"Uhh! (Panting) (Sighs deeply) Mate, wake up." Hook said
Hook slaps David. David coughs.
"Hey, get off me!" David said
"Hey, whoa, whoa! (David coughing.) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa. Look. (David breathing heavily.) In this canteen is the water that will stop the dreamshade, that will save your life. Also Tyler's." Hook said
"That's why you brought us up here." David said
"Yes." Hook
"You know, coming up here by your own. You're a little stubborn." Melissa said
"Yes, I get that a lot." David said
"Give me the canteen. I'll save his life first." Melissa said
"There's something you need to know first. Because its power comes from the island, once Tyler and David drink this water, they can never leave Neverland." Hook said
"I can't let him die. But for this cure. I'm willing to save him." Melissa said
Melissa let Tyler drink the canteen and now he's cured. He's awaken. She hands the canteen to David.
"For me. It's a small price to pay for what I get in return... the chance to save my grandson... (Panting) and to help my family get home. (Continues panting) Ahh. Huh. (Laughing) (Groans) One question... why risk your life for me. Not just for me, but for Melissa and Tyler when there wasn't anything for you in return?" David asked again
"I didn't do it for you. Or for her. Or for that mate." Hook said
Tyler sits up.
"What's going on?" Tyler asked Melissa
"Should I tell him?" Hook asked Melissa
"Tell me what? What's going on?" Tyler asked again
"Hook and I gave you and David a cure to make you well. But there was a price." Hook said
"What is it?" Tyler asked again
"To give you the cure. You have to stay here forever." Melissa said
"If I don't?" Tyler asked again
"The dreamshade will spread and then you'll die." Hook said
Tyler crying.
"Tyler I'm so so sorry." Melissa apologize
"Then you to tell our daughter that I was a good father and I died as a hero." Tyler said
"I can't. I can't lie to her. Please don't ask me to lie to her?" Melissa begged
"I know. But she needs you." Tyler said
Campsite.
Foliage rustling.
"You can stand down. It's us." David said
"Oh! Mmm!" Mary Margaret said
"Ugh. Uh, where's the sextant?" Regina asked Hook
"I'm afraid Pan got to it first." Hook said
Hook sighs deeply. Mary Margaret and David kissed.
"Mmm. I'm not complaining, but what was that for?" Mary Margaret asked her husband
"Okay, I'm complaining." Emma said
"What I wouldn't give for another sleeping curse." Regina said
"Hook... he saved my life and Tyler's." David said
"You sure you wanna tell them that?" Hook asked David
"On our track, we were ambushed by lost boys. Pinned down, outnumbered. But Hook, he risked his life to stop me from getting hit by a poisoned arrow." David said
"Hook found a cure for me and I'm all healed up. But if it wasn't for Hook, then we wouldn't be alive." Tyler said
"Your flask, please. I thought he deserved a little credit." David said
Hook hands David his flask. "Thank you." Hook thanking David
David drinks out of it. He handed to his wife.
"To Hook." Snow said
Mary Margaret drinks out of it and tries to handing it to Regina.
"I don't do rum." Regina said
But instead hands it to Melissa.
"To Hook. For helping Tyler." Melissa said
Melissa drinks it and hands it to Tyler.
"To Hook. For curing me and saving my life." Tyler said
Tyler drinks it and hands it to Emma.
