Previously on
"Once Upon a Time"...
I see
why my brother likes you.
-James.
-When you see ol' Dave,
tell him there's a new sheriff
in town.
Cruella: The Author's power
is far greater
than that bearded old man
wanted you to believe.
And when you broke
the quill,
you sent it right down here
to the Underworld.
And now you are going to find it
down here.
And you're going to send me
back to our world.
[ Engine revs ]
[ Tires screech ]
Henry:
Can you please slow down?
Darling,
you wouldn't be here
if you didn't like
a little danger.
I mean, look at you --
sneaking away from your family
to bring me back to life.
Such a naughty boy.
I just want to find the pen
and get this over with.
What am I even looking for?
A sign, signal,
whiff of ink.
Look, you're the Author.
You're connected to that quill.
Stop!
I saw something.
[ Tires screech ]
Cruella:
Well, there's no pen here,
just dirt and things
that smell like dirt.
I swear I saw it.
Well, then, move those little
legs of yours and keep looking.
Go!
[ Sighs ]
Quiet.
We have little time.
I don't understand.
W-What are you doing here?
You were a devoted apprentice to
the Sorcerer your entire life.
What unfinished business
could you possibly have?
You, my boy.
I am here to prevent you from
making a terrible mistake.
You must not resurrect
Cruella De Vil.
So the pen can bring
someone back.
You told me it couldn't.
That was a necessary...
half-truth.
Up there, yes.
Down here, the rules are
a little more...flexible.
I saw no reason
to tempt you.
The dilemma you are currently
in is why.
I'm not getting the pen
for Cruella.
I'm getting it for me.
I just watched my mom
become the Dark One.
I watched Hook die,
and I couldn't do anything.
You are the Author.
As such,
you should use the quill
only to record the stories,
not create them.
I don't care about
the stupid stories anymore.
I'm sick of sitting
on the sidelines.
I want to be a hero.
I want to help my mom even
if it means helping Cruella.
In the Sorcerer's mansion
lie all his great works
of light magic,
the quill included.
It is protected
by a powerful spell,
but the sheriff took the key
from me.
Acquire that key
and the quill is yours.
Wait, what?
You're -- You're helping me?
This is your choice,
Henry,
but the only way
that I can move on
is if you make
the right one.
I trust you.
[ Whoosh ]
♪♪
Come sit down.
Let me take a look at you.
Are you sure you want to?
Hades sort of knocked
the handsome out of me.
[ Grunts ]
[ Groans ]
No one's that powerful.
What's wrong?
It's just, um...
a lot has happened
between us.
Then what's the problem?
I'm the problem.
Emma, you were the Dark One
for six weeks
and only gave in to the darkness
out of love.
I plunged in headfirst
in a second for revenge!
I was weak!
Not in the end.
You raised the bar
very high, Swan.
The fact is,
I don't measure up.
Let me be
the judge of that.
If you didn't, would I have come
all the way down here
to try to save you?
That's my point.
I'm not sure I deserve saving.
What are you saying, that you
want to stay down here?
[ Knock on door ]
Hi.
Can I --
Killian.
Liam?
So the rumors are true.
After all these years,
my little brother
is finally here.
[ Indistinct conversations,
laughter ]
Those fish guts smell
particularly foul this evening.
Come on, Killian.
The harder we work,
the sooner we're finished.
Wish I had
your work ethic.
Seems
I inherited Father's.
Don't joke
about that bastard.
He may have sold us
into servitude,
but tomorrow...
we'll be free men.
♪♪
Are you serious?
You want to join
the King's Navy?
There's a signing bonus
of 10 silver.
On top of what
we've already saved,
that will buy us our freedom
off this bloody cargo ship.
I know that's your dream, mate,
but I'm hardly naval material.
If you served an honorable king,
it would change you.
You could be a fine captain
someday. I know it.
"Captain Jones" does have a nice
ring to it, doesn't it?
Silver:
Ha! Captain Jones?
That'll be the day.
You missed a spot there...
Captain.
Killian! Don't!
Come on.
Let him try.
Must be exhausting,
protecting little brother
from himself.
Hey.
Won't be your concern
much longer.
Because you're both going to be
admirals in the Navy, right?
Fine by me.
Long as I get paid.
The sober Jones can go
and collect his money.
The drunk one stays
as collateral.
Easy, brother.
I'll be back by sunrise.
And then a proud life
in the King's Navy, hmm?
♪♪
Liam, what about you?
Why are you down here?
I wish I knew.
I spent countless years trying
to figure out a reason.
There is no reason.
Hades has the game rigged
so no one can leave.
My brother's proof of that.
Never did a bad thing
in his life.
He even died nobly,
stopping a treacherous king
from poisoning the realm.
Stop it.
You're making me blush.
Hades has you two trapped down
here, and that cannot stand.
The only way everyone
will get free
is if we defeat Hades
once and for all.
Liam, you've been down here
a very long time.
Surely you must know something
that can help us.
I know this is a very dangerous
game you're playing.
There are those who tried
to overthrow Hades before.
They always spoke of a --
a book, which had the power
to defeat him.
I tried to find it myself,
but I'm not even sure
what to look for.
I think it's a Storybook.
Storybook?
Oh, I wager it would take more
than stories.
Hook: No, no, no, no, no.
She's onto something.
In our world,
there's a book like this.
Everything up there
has a version down here.
There has to be one
in the Underworld.
If there's a story in that book
about Hades,
we can learn his weakness
and exploit it.
All right.
If you believe in this, Killian,
I'm with you to the end.
This fiend trapped me
and tortured you.
The day you push your sailors
too far...
Is the day
the mutiny begins.
♪♪
In the world above, this is
where I found the Storybook.
So...
[ Lid thuds ]
Sorry.
Regina:
Are we really surprised?
That book is the embodiment
of hope,
and there's not a lot of that
here in the Underworld.
Let's keep looking.
[ Sighs ]
[ Rattling ]
Emma, can we talk?
[ Sighs ]
Is this like a protective
big brother talk
where you want to make sure
I'm good enough for Killian?
No, because I already know
you're not good enough.
What?
Killian blames himself
for ending up here,
but he told me
what happened.
Sounds to me like
it's not his fault.
It's yours.
I think we both
made mistakes.
Killian's been fighting darkness
his entire life,
and you pushed him
off the cliff.
I was trying
to save his life.
And it was a bloody
selfish thing to do.
He had a chance
to die a hero,
to move on,
and you took it from him.
That's not fair.
I'm down here risking everything
to save him.
And is that really
what he needs...
or what you need?
Were you this self-righteous
when you were alive?
When it came
to my brother, yes.
If he defeats Hades today,
he'll forgive himself
and he'll have another chance
to move on.
When that happens,
stop thinking
about your own desires
and let him go.
♪♪
You all right?
Yeah. Fine.
Let's keep looking.
[ Door opens ]
Hey.
What's...going on?
Oh, looking
for the Storybook,
you know,
"Underworld Edition".
Really?
Well, I think I might know
exactly where it is.
-How would you know that?
-The Apprentice.
I saw him at...
at Granny's.
He said the Sorcerer's mansion
is down here
and there's a bunch of his stuff
inside, like the Storybook.
Finally, some good news.
Well, sort of.
The house is locked with magic,
and the sheriff has the key.
Hook:
Your evil twin is sheriff?
Hades has panache,
I'll give him that.
Well, it's time for my brother
and me to have an overdue chat.
Well, you won't be alone.
I still owe him a punch in his
pretty mouth for kissing me.
He kissed you?
Thought it was you.
Let's go.
In the meanwhile, we should all
go about our usual business.
Hades has eyes everywhere.
We can't have him learning
what we're up to.
Hook: Fine plan.
Can't wait to see the look
on his face
when he learns
a valuable lesson --
one should never mess
with the Brothers Jones.
Captain Silver!
Two papers of service.
I'm pleased to tell you
the Brothers Jones
will be leaving
your employ.
Well, one of you,
at least.
What?
What's happened?
What did you do
to Killian?
Silver: All I did
was offer him a drink.
The rest he managed
all by himself.
He's not much
of a gambler.
Killian!
Where's his silver?
What have you done
with your money?
You gambled.
[ Sighs ]
I'm sorry, brother.
[ Coins clink ]
You bastard!
I'm not responsible
for his weakness.
And you still have
your money.
If you want my advice,
cut anchor.
Leave the dead weight
behind.
[ Sighs ] Just do it.
Liam, go.
I can never be the brother
you deserve.
We're to set sail, Jones.
It's either the Navy
or more grain runs
with your favorite captain.
Then grain runs
it shall be.
No.
Come hell or high water,
I cannot leave my brother.
Hades: Wow.
Even for the Underworld,
it is dead in here.
Can I help you?
If you want a drink,
I can make you anything.
That's okay.
I can help myself.
This Scotch is
a few centuries old.
I think it's aged
quite well.
The key is to store it
underground.
Here. Try some.
Mmm.
It's good, right?
See, I'm --
I'm not such a bad guy.
But here you are, trying
to stage some kind of a --
What's that quaint nautical term
you keep using?
A [snaps fingers]
that's right -- mutiny.
So, you found us out.
Well, like you said,
I have eyes everywhere.
What I don't have
is that Storybook.
And what do you want
from me?
Not much.
I don't even really care
about that book,
except for
a few select pages --
the ones about me.
So, find the book
and destroy them.
Do it yourself.
It's the Sorcerer's house.
Light magic
doesn't agree with me,
so I kind of need you.
And if I refuse?
I'll tell your brother
the thing you never could,
the reason
you're really down here.
♪♪
Looks like my evil twin's
out on patrol.
Great. Then let's find that key
and get the hell out of here.
Top drawer,
just like at home.
You two are so alike.
Next you're gonna say
we kiss the same.
Never mind. Don't want to know.
Just find the key.
[ Rattling ]
Just like
the Sorcerer said.
Cruella: James?
Is that you, darling?
[ Whispering ]
Cruella.
James?
[ Whispering ] Go.
I've got this.
-No, David!
-No, she thinks I'm him.
Go, go, go, go, go.
-[ Sighs ]
Oh, I'm so glad you're here,
James darling.
I've had a nasty,
fruitless day,
and Mummy
needs to unwind.
I'm sure you do.
[ Glasses clink ]
Mm.
[ Chuckles ]
Mmm.
[ Sighs ] Ohh.
So, Sheriff...
what would you like
to try first?
[ Foil clatter ]
The champagne or me?
[ Cork pops ]
Ha.
[ Chuckles ]
Will you stop staring
at the door?
When your parents
walk through it,
I promise I'll tell you.
Maybe this was a bad idea.
I should've gone with them.
Would you relax?
People are starting
to stare at us.
Remember what Liam said --
we need to act casual.
Yeah, what do you think
of Liam, anyway?
You don't think he's a little
self-righteous, do you?
He doesn't like you,
does he?
He doesn't think I'm good enough
for Hook.
[ Chuckles ]
To be honest,
you're too good for Hook.
He's different with Liam.
It's like he thinks he walks
on water.
What's going on?
Liam thinks
I should let Hook move on.
Who cares what Liam thinks?
What does Hook think?
He agrees.
Well, that's because
he hasn't forgiven himself.
How do you know that?
Though I hate to admit it,
we're much alike...
and forgiving yourself
is the hardest thing to do.
You want to help Hook?
Help him with that.
[ Door opens ]
Moms...
Grandma found the key.
♪♪
Hook:
The mansion is here.
I guess old White Beard
was telling the truth.
-Do we have the key?
-We have it.
But there's a protection spell
on the door.
Could be dangerous
to open it.
Oh, well, I suppose
I should do the honors.
I've been dead
the longest.
I'd say I have the least
to lose.
You always were the noble one,
weren't you?
♪♪
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Liam! I'm sorry.
I dragged you
into this voyage.
We have other demons
to confront.
Look!
[ Shouting continues ]
Captain Silver,
are you aware
this ship is pointed dead
into a storm?
Back to the rigging, Jones.
Leave the navigation
to the officers.
Well, your officers are doing
a piss-poor job!
We're 30 degrees off course,
headed into a hurricane!
We're aware.
Carry on.
Are you mad?!
What kind of captain
sails into a hurricane?!
The kind that earns
his namesake!
The king offered a mighty reward
for what's inside that storm.
This voyage was never about
the grain in the hold, was it?
You're going after
that cursed sapphire --
"The Eye of the Storm"!
So you've heard of it.
Well, every sailor's
heard of it.
Countless men have sailed
into that storm
looking for that bloody stone,
but none have survived!
If you don't like
how I run my ship,
you should've left
when you had the chance.
Now, move along before I string
you up for mutiny.
Easy, Captain.
I have always abhorred
the idea of mutiny.
But if that's what it takes to
save these men, then so be it!
Now, shall we do this
the easy way...
or the bloody way?
[ Sword clatters ]
The ship is ours, men!
[ Cheering ]
Tie these bastards up.
I'll go find
the captain's charts
and plot a course out
of this bloody typhoon.
Thank you, Liam.
There's no one I'd rather follow
into a storm.
Wonderful.
I love what they've done
with the place.
Liam: We should split up --
move fast.
Uh, yeah. I guess.
Henry, uh,
you got to stay here.
But this was my idea.
I'm not gonna stand behind
and do nothing.
You're not doing nothing.
You're the lookout.
Lookout?
Don't argue
with your mother.
But --
Or your mother.
Last time
you leave me behind.
All right, pen.
If you're in here,
give me a sign.
♪♪
I'm sorry, brother.
Come on.
Drink up like a good boy.
I have to get up
for an early patrol.
[ Scoffs ]
Fresh souls arriving.
Always someone new
to shake down.
[ Sighs ]
Is Mummy boring you, James?
[ Chuckles ]
Normally you're so much
more enthusiastic
when I come to visit you
in your dungeon.
[ Gasps ] Oh.
Maybe we need to try
spicing things up
with a little
hardware, hmm?
[ Groans ]
Does this act really work
on him?
Because, frankly,
I find it repulsive.
Oh, boo!
Couldn't you have pretended
to be Jimmy
a little while longer?
Wait. You mean
all this time, you knew?
[ Sighs ]
Well, of course I knew.
I mean,
you might look like him,
but you have none of
his unique, delicious damage.
What damage is that?
The damage you're
responsible for, darling.
Me?!
I never even met the guy!
Oh, sure you have.
When you were infants,
curled up safe
in your mummy's arms,
until she had to choose
which one of you
went to live with the king
and who stayed with her.
She had to pick her favorite,
and she picked you.
That is not my fault.
Well,
your brother disagrees.
He's spent his whole life
and death
wondering why you
and not him.
Well, I don't have the answers
for him, okay?
Oh, there it is.
That same damage
I see in James.
One of these days,
you two are going to meet
and it's going to be...
one hell of a reunion.
♪♪
Hook: There's no mention
of Hades' story anywhere.
Regina:
Why am I not surprised?
Yeah, and look. There's
some pages that are missing.
Back during
the first curse,
I tore my story
out of Henry's book
so he wouldn't know
I was the Evil Queen.
Well, if Hades has done
the same,
we don't stand much chance
of finding it.
What do you think, Liam?
You found the book.
Was there any evidence
it had been tampered with?
No.
And until I find any,
I'll choose to have hope.
Those pages could have fallen
out and still be in this house,
and I, for one, won't give up
without trying to find them.
I see what you mean
about self-righteous.
What's wrong?
Aren't you coming?
Uh, yeah. Sorry.
Let's go.
No, wait. Wait.
Not until you tell me
what's going on.
I know when something's
bothering you.
It's Liam.
I've had a bad feeling
ever since we met,
and at first I thought it was
just because he didn't like me.
I think
he's hiding something.
That's preposterous.
My brother wouldn't lie.
Maybe there's stuff about him
you don't know.
Maybe he does know what
his unfinished business
is down here.
No,
you're wrong about him.
I know who my brother is.
I'm gonna go help him
find those pages.
♪♪
[ Thunder crashes ]
You know, reading
without the proper light
can do a real number
on your eyes.
Who are you?
Who I am
isn't important.
What is, is
I'm here to help you.
Here.
Allow me.
Ahh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There. [ Chuckles ]
That's better.
You know, this mutiny isn't
going to look good for you.
Your dreams of captaining a ship
in the King's Navy
are over.
My dreams?
How do you know about them?
[ Laughs ]
I -- I know a lot about you,
Liam.
Is it still dark in here?
Let's try this.
You!
You're a demon!
Technically,
I'm a God,
but a lot of people
make that mistake.
I'm Hades,
Lord of the Underworld.
What do you want?
I want the precious cargo
aboard this ship.
The beautiful, shiny, new souls
you're trying to save.
[ Chuckles ]
Don't bother with that.
You can't hurt me.
I'm immortal.
Lucky for you,
I can't hurt you, either.
At least not up here,
not in the Overworld.
That's what I call
this place.
My power has its limits
here,
which is why I came
to offer you a deal.
You agree to let this ship
sink like I want,
and I promise
to use my magic
to ensure you
and your brother survive.
And to sweeten the deal,
I'll even throw in this...
It's the Eye of the Storm.
You deliver this
to your king,
and he'll give you
anything you want,
including that Navy job
you've always wanted.
Your dreams
can be fulfilled.
♪♪
Find anything out here?
Emma.
I'm afraid a ship's
captain can only be
cooped up for so long.
I had to come out
and get some air.
What brings you here?
I wanted to show you this.
Oh. It's the ring
I gave Killian.
I noticed
he wasn't wearing it.
Because he gave it to me.
And you know
what he told me when he did?
That it belonged to
a much better man than him.
You're his hero.
He doesn't think
you can do any wrong...
which is why
I can't figure out...
why you would lie to him.
Hook: Liam, Emma,
what's going on?
She thinks I lied to you.
He took the pages.
I can prove it.
Ask him to show you
his hands.
He's been hiding them
since I got here.
Look, if it would help
to clear things up,
I'd be happy to.
That won't be necessary.
I don't need proof to know
what's really going on here.
Emma,
when are you gonna admit
that this isn't really
about my brother?
What else would you think
it was about?
Us.
You think if you can prove
that Liam is a villain,
then I'll somehow feel like
I was less of one.
That you can convince me
I'm worth saving
and that we've got
a future together.
You agree with him?
Why bring me back
if I should just move on?
After we defeat Hades,
I won't be returning
with you.
My fate isn't
in Storybrooke.
It should be
determined here.
It doesn't have to be.
You can come home.
You just have to
forgive yourself.
Thing is...
no matter how many times
I tell you,
or anybody else does,
you have to
do it yourself.
Emma!
Let her go, Killian.
It's for the best.
Your hand.
You are hiding something.
It's nothing.
It's ink from the pages.
Emma was right.
Why would you lie to me?!
Because...he's got
much bigger secrets
than what's in some book.
Like the truth
about what he did to us.

The storm is upon us, men!

Raise the main sail!
Hurry!
Look alive for your captain,
men!
You're just in time.
We can't take this battering
much longer.
What course should I have
the men chart?
Continue on
our present course.
Dead ahead.
Into the storm?
I'm afraid we've no choice.
According to
Silver's charts,
there's rocky shores
on either side of us!
Trying to turn her around in
these winds would tear us apart.
Are you sure?
I need your trust,
brother.
I want you to have this.
This is your lucky ring.
The one that always
gets me home safe.
That's how sure I am.
Men!
My brother, Liam,
is a true hero!
A better man and a better sailor
than I could ever wish to be!
I would gladly trust him
with my life,
and if he says that there's
a chance that we can be saved,
then he will save us!
But we have to trust him.
Are you with me?!
Together: Aye!
Chart our course
dead ahead!

What truth is he
talking about, Liam?
What does it have to do
with those missing pages?
Your brother is not the hero
he pretends to be.
I found that out
when I stopped by his tavern
for my usual drink.
He had a rather...
unexpected guest.
Hades.
He traded our souls
for the Eye of the Storm.
Hades threatened
to reveal the truth
unless your brother destroyed
the pages from that book.
Liam...
please tell me there's another
explanation for this.
I'm sorry, Killian!
But I didn't have
any other choice.
I had to do what I could
in order to save us.
You lied to me.
And now you're both
going to pay. Men!
♪♪
No! [ Grunts ]
You can remove them now.
It's time
to walk the plank.
I'll gladly walk it.
Just spare Killian, please.
He has nothing to do
with this.
He should've gone down
along with the ship,
like the rest of us.
And now he finally will.
I'm sorry, Killian.
I wanted to be this perfect
example for you...
to inspire you.
All you did was raise
the bar so high,
the only thing I could do
was fail.
No more talking!
Time to face justice, boys.

Did someone decide to have
a party and forget to invite me?
Lord -- Lord Hades.

No!

And now for
the Brothers Jones.
One of them kept up his end of
our bargain and gets to live,
while the other
escaped my dungeon,
and for that,
he has to pay.
At last, we'll see the end
of Captain Hook
and this time, you won't be able
to protect him.
Liam: No.
I won't let you
hurt Killian,
no matter what kind of deal
we made.
Fine.

Hook: No!
Liam, please, hang on.
I'm sorry, brother.
Can you forgive me
for what I've done?
Yes, but that's not
what's important.
You need to find a way
to forgive yourself.
I can't,
not after what I did to you.
The only way to make amends
is for me to pay the price.
No. No!

something else,

a loving mother.

a lesson.
Too late.

Or if you just want to stay up
here and be a teenager,
that's...cool, too.
Wait.
I need to
show you something.
The Author's pen?
I thought you destroyed it.
I did, but that
just brought it here.
The Apprentice told me
where it was.
I thought if I used its power,
I could be a hero.
Henry, what made you think
you needed to do this?
At first,
it was Cruella.
She wanted me to use it
to bring her back to life.
Why would you help her?
To help you.
She said you have all this guilt
about killing her,
and that's when I realized
I have all this power
and I ignore it.
I just live
in everyone's shadow.
I want to be the hero instead
of the one the heroes rescue.
I understand that.
But that's not
the way to do it.
I know, and that's why
I'm telling you now.
I finally understand
what the Apprentice meant.
I'm gonna write the stories
as they are,
and I'll start with Hades.
I'm gonna use the pen
the correct way --
to re-create his story.

That won't be necessary.
I don't need proof to know
what's really going on here.
Emma,
when are you gonna admit
that this isn't really
about my brother?
What else would you think
it was about?
Us.
You think if you can prove
that Liam is a villain,
then I'll somehow feel like
I was less of one.
That you can convince me
I'm worth saving
and that we've got
a future together.
You agree with him?
Why bring me back
if I should just move on?
After we defeat Hades,
I won't be returning
with you.
My fate isn't
in Storybrooke.
It should be
determined here.
It doesn't have to be.
You can come home.
You just have to
forgive yourself.
Thing is...
no matter how many times
I tell you,
or anybody else does,
you have to
do it yourself.
Emma!
Let her go, Killian.
It's for the best.
Your hand.
You are hiding something.
It's nothing.
It's ink from the pages.
Emma was right.
Why would you lie to me?!
Because...he's got
much bigger secrets
than what's in some book.
Like the truth
about what he did to us.

According to

Are you sure?
I need your trust,
brother.
I want you to have this.
This is your lucky ring.
The one that always
gets me home safe.
That's how sure I am.
Men!
My brother, Liam,
is a true hero!
A better man and a better sailor
than I could ever wish to be!
I would gladly trust him
with my life,
and if he says that there's
a chance that we can be saved,
then he will save us!
But we have to trust him.
Are you with me?!
Together: Aye!
Chart our course
dead ahead!

What truth is he
talking about, Liam?
What does it have to do
with those missing pages?
Your brother is not the hero
he pretends to be.
I found that out
when I stopped by his tavern
for my usual drink.
He had a rather...
unexpected guest.
Hades.
He traded our souls
for the Eye of the Storm.
Hades threatened
to reveal the truth
unless your brother destroyed
the pages from that book.
Liam...
please tell me there's another
explanation for this.
I'm sorry, Killian!
But I didn't have
any other choice.
I had to do what I could
in order to save us.
You lied to me.
And now you're both
going to pay. Men!
♪♪
No! [ Grunts ]
You can remove them now.
It's time
to walk the plank.
I'll gladly walk it.
Just spare Killian, please.
He has nothing to do
with this.
He should've gone down
along with the ship,
like the rest of us.
And now he finally will.
I'm sorry, Killian.
I wanted to be this perfect
example for you...
to inspire you.
All you did was raise
the bar so high,
the only thing I could do
was fail.
No more talking!
Time to face justice, boys.

we made.
Fine.

Hook: No!
Liam, please, hang on.
I'm sorry, brother.
Can you forgive me
for what I've done?
Yes, but that's not
what's important.
You need to find a way
to forgive yourself.
I can't,
not after what I did to you.
The only way to make amends
is for me to pay the price.
No. No!

I should have made long ago.
And now I can
finally depart.

Now that you finally know
the truth,
your unfinished business

Get on board, men.
What about you, brother?
My unfinished business

Not until Emma and I
have defeated Hades.
Tell her I'm sorry,
and I was wrong.
She does want what's best

[ Coughing, panting ]
Man: Ahoy, there!
By the king's name, what's
happened to you two sailors?
We're survivors
of the tempest...
that plagues
these waters.
Let me guess.
You went in search
of the Eye of the Storm?
If you ask me,
you got what you deserved.
You may be right,
but that gem is no legend.
[ Breathing heavily ]
You found it.
But how?
In the bedlam, my brother
was knocked unconscious.
I managed to swim us
to a few planks of wood.
Providence did the rest.
Young man,
your brother is a hero.
My ship will bring you
to the king,
who has offered a great reward
for this stone.
We do not seek wealth,
only honor.
Perhaps His Majesty might grant
us a naval commission?
Why wait for the king?
I would be honored to offer you
both commissions on my ship.
She's the flagship
of the Royal Navy.
She's very pretty.
What's her name?
The Jewel of the Realm.
Thank you, Liam...
for being the hero
that I always wished to be.
I won't squander this second
chance you've given me.
[ Both laugh ]
[ Breathless ] Hook,
where the hell have you been?
First you and Liam left,
then Henry ran off somewhere.
I'm sorry, Emma.
You were right about Liam.
He destroyed those pages
because of a deal he made
with Hades years ago --
a deal that almost got us thrown
into that boiling sea.
Are you okay?
Where is he?
He, uh,
sacrificed himself,
but his sacrifice helped a crew
we once sailed with.
They finally moved on,
thanks to him.
Did he move on, too?
He did...
but he helped me see
the truth before he went.
I'm glad you came
down here, Emma.
Perhaps I do deserve saving
after all.
Does that mean,
when this is all over,
you're planning
to come home?
Yes.
[ Chuckles lightly ]
Everything Liam did was to
ensure that I had a future,
and I damn well intend
to have one.

[ Shimmering ]
There's nothing in this entire
book about Hades.
Liam ripped out
every page.
On behalf of my brother,
I'm sorry.
Maybe there's something else
in here that can help us.
Our Storybook had all kinds
of secrets in it.
Well, Henry's kind of
the expert on Storybooks.
Where is he?
He's upstairs
going full emo teenager.
And doesn't want to talk
to anyone right now.
Well, maybe he just doesn't want
to talk to his mothers.
Hey, there.
What's my favorite grandson
up to?
Nothing.
Just thinking.
Mind if I think
with you?
[ Sighs ]
So...
what are we
thinking about?
I don't want to talk
about it.
Okay.
Let's talk about me.
[ Sighing ] I had a...
pretty bad day today.
I learned that my twin brother
resented me his whole life.
I thought
he grew up a prince.
Guess he wanted
something else,
what I had --
a loving mother.
Please don't make this
a lesson.
Too late.
See, some people
would give anything
to have a family like yours,
Henry.
Because, whatever's
going on with you,
you know you always have someone
you can talk to.
Or if you just want to stay up
here and be a teenager,
that's...cool, too.
Wait.
I need to
show you something.
The Author's pen?
I thought you destroyed it.
I did, but that
just brought it here.
The Apprentice told me
where it was.
I thought if I used its power,
I could be a hero.
Henry, what made you think
you needed to do this?
At first,
it was Cruella.
She wanted me to use it
to bring her back to life.
Why would you help her?
To help you.
She said you have all this guilt
about killing her,
and that's when I realized
I have all this power
and I ignore it.
I just live
in everyone's shadow.
I want to be the hero instead
of the one the heroes rescue.
I understand that.
But that's not
the way to do it.
I know, and that's why
I'm telling you now.
I finally understand
what the Apprentice meant.
I'm gonna write the stories
as they are,
and I'll start with Hades.
I'm gonna use the pen
the correct way --
to re-create his story.
Hades went
to a lot of trouble
to keep us from learning
his story.
Which means we're
onto something.
Question is, what is Hades
trying to hide from us?
