Once Upon a Time

Previously on "Once Upon a Time"...

You want to come with me to Storybrooke.

All I care about is the future were we...

might be a family.

Your were sisters once.

Just promise me you'll hold on to each other.

I think you have another love to find.

Hades.

Go to him.

You told her what?

To give him a chance.

And you thought that was a good idea because?

Because we're family.

And I'm trying to trust Zelena.

She thinks she can change Hades.

I'm sorry, luv,

I missed the part where Zelena changed.

You'd think the ex-pirate with a rum habit

would cut my sister some slack.

Well, you'd think that the Evil Queen

would be smarter than to send the Wicked Witch

- to romance the most devious man alive. - Easy, guys.

We're not gonna win the war against Hades

if we use all our ammo on each other.

The Savior has a point.

What the hell are you doing here?

Get behind me, kid.

Oh, I didn't find you to hurt you.

I came for your...

Wow, this is hard.

Help.

What could you possibly want our help with?

Simple.

I went to meet Zelena for our date

and found this.

No.

Zelena, she's been kidnapped by Gold and Pan.

They're asking for a meeting tomorrow morning.

Gold wants you to tear up the contract for his unborn child.

So, do it.

I just got my sister back.

- I'm not going to lose her now. - Neither will I.

I'll give them what they want,

but I know the Stiltskins and their tricks.

They're not gonna keep their word.

Not unless I have an ace up my sleeve.

Luckily for you, you got one.

I'm sorry.

You've been Zelena's doting sister

for all of what, three hours? No.

Who's going to be more motivated than me?

Emma.

What? Why?

If Zelena gets out of this alive,

I'm prepared to offer you a deal.

Don't trust a word he says, Emma.

Now I agree with the pirate.

You and I both know

your family wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.

If you help me save her,

I'll take everyone's names off their headstones.

So we can leave the Underworld.

So, what do you say, Savior?

Do you want to send your family home or not?

_

So, I just thought I'd ask on the off chance

if there's someone still working here

who remembers that baby being brought in.

26 years ago?

We can't keep a cook for six weeks.

Maybe, like, a long-time customer.

The food ain't good enough for that kind of loyalty.

Sorry, honey, but you're not gonna find anyone here

who remembers this.

Tough break, kid.

What?

Heard what you were asking.

You a reporter or something?

No, nothing like that.

You're the baby, aren't you?

From the article... you're the baby, right?

Intuition. Mine's usually pretty good.

And I'm sorry.

It's hard not being able to find your family.

It's just a dead end.

I've had a lot of those.

So, thanks for your concern, 'but I got this.

Can I say one more thing based on my intuition?

Okay.

I look at you... young, pretty...

Okay.

And I see someone who now...

stop me if I'm wrong, but...

someone who stole money

from a couple convenience stores in Phoenix,

got arrested, and took off on her bail.

Well, hello there.

Show yourself.

Glad to see you followed instructions

and came alone.

Zelena.

I tried to stop them, but...

It's not your fault, it's theirs.

Oh, is that so?

Because we wouldn't be here

if you'd ripped up that contract when I asked you to.

You didn't have leverage.

And now I do.

So, you stand there and don't move

except to rip up that contract.

Then you get the witch.

There.

Now give her back.

Oh, you can have her back.

But we didn't say anything about her heart, did we?

You see, my body is ready to walk the earth again.

Except for one thing.

A living heart.

So, if you don't mind.

My heart has got a protection spell on it.

You may be good at magic, but we're better.

- Aah. - You sure about that?

I was beginning to think you couldn't get in.

Locks don't bother me much.

He ripped up the contract like you wanted, so leave.

Since when does the Savior answer to the king of Death?

Since he's the one getting my family home.

You picked the wrong team to back, Ms. Swan.

You won't get what you want from him.

Really? Because you just did,

which is making me wonder why you're still here.

Yeah, I suppose you have a point.

Rumple.

Looks like your little boy only came for what he wanted.

I don't think you're gonna be that lucky.

Zelena.

Are you all right?

You tore up that contract for me.

I didn't think you'd do it.

When will you believe I'd do anything for you?

I think I'm getting there.

Is that?

My heart. It's beating.

What the hell was that?

My banishment.

It's over.

I can finally leave this place for good.

Very soon, at the cemetery,

there will be a fully formed portal back to Storybrooke,

- but it will close at sunset. - First things first.

I held up my end of the deal.

Now it's your turn.

We're going home through that portal, too.

All of us.

- How'd it get here? - The hands are moving.

Is that a good sign or a bad one?

It's a great one if you want to leave.

When those hands spin fast enough in about an hour,

it'll turn into an open portal back.

Which we can't go through because of those.

So, let's get on with it.

Gladly.

There. As promised.

You're no longer tied to this realm.

I told you love could change him.

I don't buy it.

A man can't change that quickly.

We're free to go through the portal when it opens,

which means it's time to split my heart

so you can leave with us.

Aye, luv.

Do it.

- Emma. - Mom!

Why didn't it work?

I told you we couldn't trust him.

That wasn't me.

I'm afraid there are laws of nature

- beyond even my control. - No, it should work.

I died. My wife's heart brought me back.

How long were you dead?

- A minute or so, maybe less. - Ah.

I didn't think I recalled you entering this realm.

Your soul never left your body.

That's why it worked for you.

So Hook's been down here too long?

And his body's rotting away up there.

Even if your soul could return to it,

I doubt either of you could stomach the smell.

Well, Emma, it appears you have to return without me.

- There has to be another way. - Emma, please.

You're telling me no one's gone to the Underworld

and brought someone back?

They have.

Who?

Who did? How?

It was a long time ago, and it was a rumor.

There's no proof it actually worked.

Tell me everything.

Sorry about this,

but I'm gonna go take a shower now.
