SCENE: Neverland. Present day. Dragging an unconscious adult with them a group of Lost Boys runs through the undergrowth. Arriving at a wooden cage they lock their prisoner up. Briefly, the camera focuses on the prisoner revealing him to be Neal Cassidy.
Felix: You heard Pan. You know what to do with him.
SCENE: Neverland. Present day. Pan’s camp. Lost Boys play chanting. Henry Mills watches them from a distance. One Lost Boy, Devin, approaches Henry nudging him with a stick.
Devin: (scoffs) So, you're the kid Pan's been looking for all this time. (This time he nudges Henry harder. Henry backs away.)
Henry: Ask him. (Devin attacks Henry playfully. Startled, Henry jumps out of his reach.) Stop it!
Devin: If you can't take this, how are you gonna handle what Pan has in store for you? (Looking down Henry notices a stick lying on the ground. Nodding Devin encourages Henry to pick up the stick. As soon as Henry is armed Devin charges. They engage in a playful fight.)
Peter Pan: (watching) Not bad. But wouldn't it be more fun, if you had real swords?
Henry: I’ve never used a real sword.
Peter Pan: (to Henry) This is Neverland and you have the heart of the truest believer. You can use whatever you want. (places a hand on Henry’s shoulder) You just need to believe, Henry. Close your eyes and believe you're holding a real sword. (Henry closes his eyes. Opening them again he’s holding a blade in hand.) What are you waiting for? Go on. (Henry charges Devin. Watching them Lost Boys cheer.) Go on! Go for it! Keep going! Come on! (With one stroke of his sword Henry cuts his opponent’s stick in a half.) Come on, Henry! (Charging once again, Henry hits his opponent drawing blood.)
Henry: (shocked) I'm sorry. It was an accident.
Peter Pan: Henry. Don't you know the best thing about being a Lost Boy? (Peter Pan hands Henry his sword back.) You never apologize. (turns to Lost Boys) Come on. (Lost Boys cheer loudly. Peter Pan encourages Henry to raise his arm in an victorious gesture)
Henry: (pleased) Yeah.
SCENE: Neverland. Present day. Neal Cassidy’s hideout. David Nolan lights a torch. There are chalk markings on the wall. Emma Swan struggles to remove pillows in order to examine the markings more closely. Hook watches Emma.
Hook: You need a hand, love?
Emma: Is that a joke?
Hook: No, I'm being quite serious. (shifts the pillows)
Emma: Wow.
David: What is it?
Hook: It appears Neal marked his days trapped on this island. (Emma notices something)
Mary Margaret: What's wrong?
Emma: Look here. Neal stopped counting.
Mary Margaret: Cause he got off the island?
Emma: He was here longer.
David: Then, why would he...
Emma: Because he lost hope.
Regina Mills: You got that from scribbles?
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.
David: You think the same thing is happening to Henry?
Emma: Pan said it would.
David: Hey, we’re gonna rescue him.
Emma: Yeah, I know that. And you know that, but Henry doesn't know that. Pan wants him to lose faith.
Regina: So, what? You want to send him a message? Because I haven't seen a Neverland post office. What are you suggesting?
Emma: We take a page from Pan. And we start being clever. We need to send a simple sign. A sign that we’re coming.
Regina: With Lost Boys running around trying to kill us all?
Mary Margaret: Maybe it's time we use that to our advantage.
Regina: How?
Mary Margaret: Follow me, I'll show you. (Mary Margaret exits, Emma is about to follow, but Hook stops her.)
Hook: Swan?
Emma: What? We’re wasting time.
Hook: I... I just wanted to let you know that I do know what it feels like. To lose hope.
Emma: I know what this is. This... you...you know, trying to bond with me. So, save your breath. I'm not in the mood. (David approaches Hook)
David: Let me give you a bit of advice, Hook. She's never gonna like you.
Hook: Is that so?
David: How could she? You're nothing but a pirate.
SCENE: Enchanted Forest. Past. The Jewel of the Realm is at anchor. Sailors attend to their assigned tasks.
First Sailor: Look alive, men!
Second Sailor: Take the sail, take the rig!
Third Sailor: All hands on deck!
Lieutenant: All hands on deck! (The sailors line up. The lieutenant walks down the line. He indicates one sailor whose uniform isn’t buttoned properly.)
Third Sailor: Apologies, lieutenant.
Lieutenant: It's Lieutenant Jones, sailor. The captain is in transit with new orders from the king himself. Before his arrival this ship will be swapped from stem to stern and... (He stops in front of a sailor picking a bottle out of the sailor’s pocket.) Rum, sailor? (turns to face the men) Does anyone know what happens to sailors, who drink rum? (No one dares to speak.) They get drunk. And drunkenness leads to bad form. And if there's one thing that won't be tolerated aboard this ship, it's bad form. (The lieutenant throws the bottle overboard.)
Captain: My ship has never been in finer hands.
Lieutenant: Aye, Captain. We stand ready to receive the king's orders.
Captain: (addressing the sailors) To your stations. When the king summoned me, I knew there was only one man I could trust, to navigate this difficult journey. My little brother.
Lieutenant: Perhaps you mean younger brother.
Captain: (hands Killian Jones a sextant) A gift. To commemorate our latest voyage together.
Lieutenant: A sextant? You always were the sentimental type.
Captain: Look closer, brother.
Lieutenant: I’ve never seen markings like this. To what strange land are we headed?
Captain: I'm under orders not to say until we arrived. But, brother, this is the mission of our dreams. A mission that will bring peace to the kingdom and glory to the Jones brothers.
Lieutenant: A hero's journey. That's indeed good form, brother. (turns around) Master bosun?
Bosun: Aye, sir?
Lieutenant: All hands prepare to set sail. Make speed.
SCENE: Neverland. Present day. Emma and Mary Margaret, Regina make ropes.
Regina: A trap? That's your plan?
Mary Margaret: The Lost Boys wanna come after us, we need to go after them.
Hook: You really think, the Lost Boys are gonna betray Pan?
Mary Margaret: Thanks for the advice. David?
David: Yeah?
Mary Margaret: We need more vines.
David: (panting) On it. You're coming with me, pirate.
Hook: Why's that?
Emma: Because, we need more rope.
Hook: (bows) If the lady insists. (follows David)
SCENE: Neverland. Present day. David picks up vines. Hook follows close behind.
Hook: What would you like to yell at me about now, Dave?
David: Stay away from my daughter.
Hook: I guess, she can take care of herself. She doesn't need your parenting. Which is a good thing.
David: What does that mean?
Hook: It means you're gonna die in a day or so, anyway.
David: Nothing I can do about that. But, if I do die,...
Hook: (interrupting) When...
David: It'll be in helping my family and that something someone like you can't understand.
Hook: What, if I told you there's a way to save you?
David: I'd say no, cause anything that takes us off course of saving Henry, is selfish. But, of course, you would think that was the way to go.
Hook: 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.
David: 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.
Hook: 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?
SCENE: Neverland. Present day. Hook pours rum into David’s mouth. Coughing David awakes.
Hook: Have another drink.
David: No, thank you. I'm okay now. (coughs)
Hook: (supports David, who tries to get up) No, you're not. I thought you had days left. Let me see. Let me see that.
David: No.
Hook: Let me see. (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.
David: No. Not, when I can still help them save Henry. (David tries to move, but he staggers again. Hook catches him once more.)
Hook: Catch your breath, mate, or the little time you have, will be less. (With an effort David picks something from the ground) What's that?
David: (taking a closer look) It's a military insignia. (reading the name embossed on it) „Jones“. You know him?
Hook: 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.
David: From where?
Hook: There. Dead Man's Peak. I thought it was gone forever.
David: What was gone?
Hook: No, it's too dangerous.
David: What's too dangerous? If you know something that can help us, don't hold back.
Hook: 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.
David: I know now, how I'm gonna spend my last hours, we’re gonna find that thing.
Hook: Well, look, you might reach the top, but you'll die before you return.
David: Then, come with me and make sure the sextant gets back to Emma. You ready to be a hero?
SCENE: Enchanted Forest. Past. Liam and Killian are aboard the Jewel of the Realm.
Liam: Relay the order!(he pulls out a book)
Killian: Aye, sir (Liam hands Killian the book and they look through it.)
Killian: Star charts. I've never seen these constellations before.
Liam: No one has.
Liam: That's right. We're going to a new land, brother.
Crew Member: Enemy sighted off the port quarter! (Killian and Liam each grab a telescope.)
Killian: A frigate and two corvettes gaining fast. Master gunner, roll out the port cannons! Stand by to bring her about (Liam grabs the sextant.)
Liam: Belay that order! (A cannon fires from the enemy ship, but just misses the Jewel of the Realm) That was close.
Killian: We'll never outrun them.
Liam: Have faith, leftenant. Deploy the Pegasus!
Crew Member: Deploy the Pegasus! (Bell clanging. Crew members start deploying a mast.)
Crewmen: Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho! (The mast deploys.)
Killian: What is that?
Crewmen: Let's go!
Liam: That is a sail woven from the last remaining feathers of the great creature, Pegasus.
Killian: Legend has it that horse could fly.
Liam: Indeed. So can we. Hang on! (Liam chuckles. The ship begins to fly. The crewmen cheer as the ship lifts off the water. Another cannon fires, but also misses.) Whoo-hoo! (A third cannon fires, and misses as well. The crewmen cheer. Cannons keep on firing, but to no avail.) Set a course, leftenant. Second star to the right, and strait on 'till morning. (Killian looks through the sextant.)
SCENE: Neverland. Present day. Hook and David return to the camp to tell the others about the sextant.
Emma: A sextant? And you're telling us about this now?
Regina: How do we know you're not lying?
Hook: Oh, you don't, but I'm not. It's the best hope yet we've had of an exit plan, and don't forget we're going to need one.
Emma: Then what are we waiting for?
Hook: Emma... you were right. We need to get that message to Henry. Every day without hope is a day closer to becoming a lost boy. (Hook wraps a bundle of rope around himself.) Your father and I should go.(He exits.)
David: Hook's right.
Mary Margaret: Uh, you wanna split up?
David: It's the last thing I wanna do, but there's a chance he can get us home.
Mary Margaret: Okay (David sighs.)
David: And, Emma, while I'm gone just...
Emma: Listen to my mother?
David: (chuckles)Be careful.
Emma: Always am.
David: And when you send that message to Henry, add something to it for me, would ya?
Emma: Mm-hmm
David: Tell him... tell him grandpa loves him. (David hugs Emma.)
Emma: Oh. Uh, ok. Good luck.
David: (whispers) Yeah. You, too. (David turns to Mary Margaret.)
Mary Margaret: You all right?
David: Yeah (He hugs Mary Margaret.) I just-- I've gotta go.
Mary Margaret: Mmm. I'll see you soon.
David: Well, you know Neverland's a dangerous place, and... you know-- you just never know what's gonna happen.
Mary Margaret: (interrupting) David. You're gonna be fine.
David: Right. (David presses his hands against Mary Margaret's head, and kisses her on the forehead. He then kisses her again.)
Mary Margaret: Mmm.
David: (whispers) I love you. (David leaves and joins Hook again as they continue.)
SCENE: Neverland. Present day. Emma, Mary Margaret, and Regina getting ready to entrap Devin. Mary Margaret draws her bow as Devin hunts a pig. She fires the arrow into a rope, releasing a net, which falls on top of him.
Devin: (grunts) Uhh! (Emma, Regina, and Mary Margaret surround him, with the latter drawing her bow.) What are you doing?! (Devin breaks free of the net.) Are you trying to start a war with Pan.
Emma: Pan started the war when he kidnapped my son.
Regina: But that doesn't you our enemy. (Regina opens her palm, using magic to reveal an Apollo Bar.)
Devin: (stands up) What's that?
Regina: Chocolate. I thought you might like the taste of something sweet.
Emma: We don't wanna hurt you. We just need you to deliver a message to Henry.
Devin: Why should I help you?
Emma: Because you had a home and a family once and you stopped believing you could get back to them. Now we're here. We can help-- not just Henry, all of you. We can get you home. (Regina moves her hand closer, offering the chocolate bar. Devin takes it and smells it.)
Devin: Mmm. (Devin chuckles and immediately throws the chocolate bar into the jungle. Emma draws her dagger.) Don't you get it? I'm here because I don't wanna go home. None of us do.
Emma: Pan's a monster. Look what he did to you.
Devin: (points to his scar) Oh, Pan didn't do that. Henry did.
SCENE: Neverland. Present day. David and Hook are navigating their way through the jungle.
Hook: How are you holding up, mate?
David: Don't worry about me. Just worry about getting us to the sextant.
Hook: I meant the good-byes. Looked a bit stormy back there.
David: I did what had to be done, and I did it out of love. Emma and Mary Margaret will understand that. (David stops and leans against a tree to catch his breath. Hook stops to wait.)
Hook: You gonna tell them that from beyond the grave.
David: No. You are. You're gonna 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.
Hook: The truth, you mean.
David: Their last memories of me won't me of a liar. (David continues walking past Hook. Hook starts following him.)
Hook: Why should I help you?
David: (chuckles) Well, if you didn't steal that bean, they wouldn't have had a chance to take Henry, we wouldn't be on this island, and I wouldn't be dying of dreamshade.
Hook: Fair point. At least you got to say good-bye. Most people don't get that much. (David stops to think, while Hook continues walking.)
David: You lost someone, didn't you? (David follows Hook and then they both stop.)
Hook: This is where we ascend. I'll climb ahead and throw down the rope. (The camera pans, showing the mountain from bottom to top and just how tall it is. David and Hook continue walking towards it.)
David: (breathing heavily) He was your brother, right? I had a brother, too, you know. A twin. He died before I ever met him.
Hook: There were two of you? I can barely stomach one.
David: (chuckles) Ah, you would've liked him. He was a thief and a liar.
Hook: Yeah, you would've liked my brother. He could be a stubborn ass. Now wait here.(David and Hook stop at the base of Dead Man's Peak. Hook starts climbing, while David waits.)
SCENE: Neverland. Past. Killian and Liam set foot onto the shore of Neverland. Liam picks up an envelope from their rowboat.
Killian: What exactly does the king have to find on this island? (Liam shows the envelope to Killian and opens it. He pulls out a drawing and the camera reveals it to be some sort of plant.)
Liam: A plant.
Killian: We journeyed across the realms for a plant?
Liam: Our sources say it's magical. Potent enough to heal any injury.
Killian: (astonished) So we never have to bury another sailor at sea again?
Liam: Now you understand the importance of our mission. (Peter Pan appears out of nowhere behind them.)
Peter Pan: Are you two lost? (Killian and Liam turn around swiftly and both draw their swords.) You look lost to me.
Liam: Identify yourself, boy.
Peter Pan: I'm Peter Pan. I live here. Who are you?
Liam: Captain Jones. (He puts his sword back.) And my leftenant. (addressing Killian) We're here by order of the king. (Killian puts his sword back.)
Peter Pan: The king, huh? We don't have any kings in Neverland. Just me.
Liam: That's funny. We seek this plant. (Liam pulls out the drawing of the plant and shows it to Peter Pan. This time, the camera reveals it as Dreamshade.) Now tell us, boy, where can we find it? (Peter Pan takes the picture.)
Peter Pan: Your king sent you for this plant?
Liam: You know it?
Peter Pan: Dreamshade? It's the deadliest plant on the island. Your king is really ruthless.
Liam: Nonsense
Killian: (to Peter Pan) It's medicine.
Peter Pan: It's doom. Why fight a messy battle when you can kill an entire army with the sap of one plant?
Killian: (whispering to Liam) Is it possible? The kind would turn poison upon our enemies.
Liam: Don't be so gullible. (turns to Peter Pan) This boy is playing games, and I'm quickly tiring of them. (He takes the picture from him.) Come. We should keep moving. (Liam leaves, and Killian slowly follows. He turns back to look at Peter Pan)
Peter Pan: Don't say I didn't warn you. (He waves Killian away.)
SCENE: Neverland. Present. Dead Man's Peak. Hook pulls vines from a dead tree. David waves from the base as Hook is about to throw the vines down, but Peter Pan appears in the distance out of nowhere.
Peter Pan: Don't pull him up yet. (Hook turns around.) I wanna talk. Alone. (Hook drops the vines and advances toward Peter Pan.)
Hook: What do you want?
Peter Pan: To offer you a deal. Come back and work for me, like the old days.
Hook: (chuckles) I don't miss the old days.
Peter Pan: What if I were to offer you something hard to come by. (Pan teleports to right in front of Hook's face.) Passage off the island.
Hook: (shakes his head) Still not interested.
Peter Pan: What if I were to sweeten the deal? You can take someone with you... Emma.
Hook: Emma would never leave her son.
Peter Pan: She did once before, and you can be there to pick up the pieces. We've known each other a very long time, Killian. We've done business before and I think this is the perfect time to restart that relationship.
Hook: What if I'm not interested.
Peter Pan: Of course you are. Because that's what I've always liked about you. You're good at surviving.
Hook: What do you want me to do?
Peter Pan: Be in my employ. Do my dirty work.
Hook: What dirty work?
Peter Pan: When the time comes, I'll let you know. But first, I need a signal that you've taken my deal.
Hook: So my word right now wouldn't be good enough?
Peter Pan: You know me. (Pan teleports behind Hook.) I like action. I'll know you've taken my deal when I see the prince's dead body up on that peak.
Hook: Oh, you'll see that anyway. He's on his last legs thanks to dreamshade.
Peter Pan: I wanna see you kill him before the poison. I want to see your hook inside his body.
Hook: And what if I don't take your offer.
Peter Pan: Remember the last time you didn't listen to me. (Peter Pan pulls Hook's flask out, but he swifty takes it back.) Have a drink. You know it always helps you think. (Peter Pan disappears, and David climbs up to the top of the cliff.)
Hook: Bloody hell. I told you to wait.
David: (panting) Were you talking to someone?
Hook: Just talking to myself. It's an old habit from many nights on the lonely seas.
David: (looks down at Hook holding flask) Well, I'm glad to see your enjoying the refreshments while you do it.
Hook: Apologies, mate. It isn't much farther now. (David continues walking, and Hook follows close behind.)
SCENE: Neverland. Past. Dead Man's Peak. Liam and Killian walk towards a dreamshade plant, and Liam compares it to the one in his drawing.
Killian: Well, it certainly doesn't look like medicine.
Liam: You choose to believe that boy over our king? (Liam puts the drawing away.)
Killian: That boy showed us the path to the dreamshade. Why would he lie about its nature.
Liam: To keep it all for himself. You actually think our king would send us to retrieve something so dangerous. (Liam walks over to the plant for close inspection.)
