01:13hi
01:14hi
01:14hi
01:16hi
01:17hi
01:18hi
01:30What do you think of the view, my dear?
01:34I've seen better.
01:36This is taking forever.
01:38I told you the troll road would have been quicker.
01:42And far less bumpy.
01:46Are you even listening to me?
01:48Yes, of course I am.
01:49Whoa!
01:51Whoa!
01:52Now what?
01:59Door.
02:04Worry not.
02:05It's about a fallen tree.
02:07Fellows, shall we?
02:21My lord.
02:23What is it?
02:25Look at these markings.
02:26This tree didn't fall.
02:28It's been cut.
02:30It's an ambush.
02:32Ah!
02:33Ah!
02:34Ah!
02:34Sorry!
02:36Stop it!
02:37Ah!
02:38Help me!
02:40Help me!
02:40Come on!
02:40Yeah!
02:43Yeah!
02:45Yeah, wait!
02:53Yeah!
03:04Show your face, you coward.
03:09You're...
03:09a girl.
03:11Woman.
03:21You can't hide from me!
03:24Wherever you are, I will find you!
03:37Um, where were we?
03:39Something about you wanting 15 kids?
03:42Oh, good lord, no.
03:44I'm in my class, where I teach.
03:46You'll meet them tomorrow.
03:47They're coming to the hospital as part of the volunteer outreach program.
03:50Oh yeah, that is a great program.
03:53I mean, obviously I don't want 15 kids of my own.
03:55I mean, I mean, not that I don't want kids, I do.
03:58I want kids, marriage, true love.
04:02I want it all.
04:03But that, of course, is...
04:10wildly inappropriate for me to discuss on a first date.
04:14Hmm?
04:16Ruby?
04:16Yes?
04:17Mary Margaret.
04:20Jacket, please.
04:41Hey.
04:43You okay?
04:45Oh, in the world of tight spots I've been in, crashing in my car doesn't even rank in the top
04:5010.
04:51You're sleeping here?
04:52Until they find a place.
04:53Yes.
04:54You decided to stay.
04:57For Henry.
04:59Yeah.
05:00Yes.
05:01This town doesn't seem to have many vacancies.
05:04None, actually.
05:05Is that normal?
05:07Must be the curse.
05:10Why are you out so late?
05:12Mom, I'm a teacher, not a nun.
05:15I had a date.
05:17From the looks of things, it went well.
05:19As well as they ever do.
05:21Yeah.
05:21Tell me at least paid.
05:25Yeah.
05:27Well...
05:27I guess if true love was easy, we'd all have it.
05:32You know, if things get cramped.
05:37I do have a spare room.
05:40Thanks.
05:41I'm not really the roommate type.
05:44It's just not my thing.
05:47I do better on my own.
05:51Well, good night.
05:54Good luck with Henry.
05:55Yeah.
06:07You're welcome.
06:11I'm sorry.
06:14I'm sorry.
06:15I'm sorry.
06:19I'm sorry, Richard.
06:20I'm sorry, Richard.
06:22decorations. Is Mr. Doe going to be okay, Ms. Blankshirt? His name's not John Doe, honey. That's
06:28just what they call people when they don't know who they are. Do you know who he is? Nope. Just
06:35bring him flowers on my rounds. What's wrong with him? I don't know. He's been like this as long as
06:40I've been volunteering. Does he have any family or friends? No one's claimed him. So he's all alone?
06:54Yeah. It's quite sad. You sure you don't know him? Of course I'm sure. Come on. Shouldn't
07:05be in here. I found your father. Prince Charming. Henry. He's a
07:22in the hospital. In a coma. See the scar? He has one too. So lots of people have scars.
07:31In the same place. Don't you see what this means? The curse is keeping them apart with
07:37a coma. Now they're stuck without each other. We have to tell Ms. Blankshirt we found a Prince
07:44Charming. Okay, kid. Telling someone their soulmate is in a coma is probably not helpful. Not
07:52having a happy ending is painful enough, but giving someone unrealistic hope is far worse.
07:58But what if I'm right? We know who they are. Now they have to know. And how do you intend
08:04to make that happen? By reminding him? We have to get her to read their story to John Doe.
08:09Henry. Then maybe he'll remember who he is. Okay. Okay? Yeah. We'll do it. And we'll do
08:21it my way. Let me ask her. You want me to read to a coma patient? Henry thinks it will
08:31help
08:31him remember who he was. And who does he think he was? Prince Charming. And if I'm Snow White? He
08:41thinks. Me. And him. He has a very active imagination. Which is the point. I can't talk him out of
08:49his
08:49beliefs. So we need to show him. Play along. Do what he says. And then maybe. Just maybe.
08:57He'll see the fairy tales are just that. That there's no such thing as love at first sight
09:02or first kiss. He'll see reality. Something like that.
09:09Well. Sadly, this planet is rather genius. We get him to the truth without hurting him.
09:17I told him that we will all meet tomorrow for breakfast at Granny's and you will give a full
09:23report. Well. I suppose I'll get ready for my date. I guess I'll have to do all the talking.
09:32Look, I know this is odd. But I'm doing it for a friend. So please just bear with me.
09:46As the prince chased the thief on horseback through the treacherous forest, his betrothal
09:50crossed her arms and pouted, wondering how many dreadful, boring minutes it would take
09:54until they could resume their journey again. The thief vaulted over up to a ginger's eyes.
09:59They didn't need words to express what they felt in their hearts.
10:04It was here, in the shadow of the Troll Bridge, that their love was born. Where they knew,
10:10no matter how they were separated, they would always...
10:25You know, I'm sure he's waking up. He... He grabbed my hand.
10:43Everything's steady. Same as it's always been. What were you doing in here?
10:48Oh, I was just reading him a story.
10:51Oh. Well, perhaps you, um, dozed off. Perhaps you imagined it.
10:57No, I didn't imagine anything.
10:59Miss Spencer, I can only tell you what I see, which is nothing.
11:04Sometimes there are minor fluctuations in readings.
11:07Perhaps you heard the machine register something and misunderstood.
11:12Look, why don't you go home, get some rest.
11:16If anything changes, I'll call you, okay?
11:37Yes?
11:38It's Dr. Whale.
11:40He told me to call you if there's ever a change in my John Doe.
11:44Something's happened.
11:46What?
11:47One of the volunteers said he grabbed her.
11:50There was a slight fluctuation in brain activity.
11:53And who was this volunteer?
11:55Mary Margaret Blanchard.
12:02Have a great day.
12:09Let's go.
12:23It's teaching a little girl, okay?
12:25What?
12:45Ha!
12:48No!
12:50No!
12:51Ha, ha, ha, ha.
12:55I told you I'd find you.
12:57No matter what you do, I will always find you.
13:02Is this the only way you can catch a woman?
13:05By entrapping her?
13:07It's the only way to catch thieving scum.
13:10Aren't you a real prince charming?
13:13I have a name you know.
13:14Don't care. Charming suits you.
13:17Now cut me down, charming.
13:22I'll release you when you return the leather pouch you stole with my jewels.
13:28Not the jewelry type.
13:29Indeed. I noticed.
13:31What is that supposed to mean? Are you insulting me?
13:34Quite right. My apologies.
13:35How dare I catch aspersions at the person who robbed me.
13:39Where are my jewels?
13:41I sold them.
13:43What?
13:44What do you care? Don't you have a palace full of treasure somewhere?
13:47These were special.
13:48Among them was a ring that belonged to my mother.
13:49A ring I was about to give...
13:51The nag with the bad attitude? That's what this is about?
13:55She's my fiancée.
14:00Good luck with that.
14:02You must be getting something impressive to have agreed to that union.
14:05Excuse me?
14:06I know how this works.
14:08True love, it doesn't exist.
14:11It's all arranged marriages and business transactions.
14:15There's no such thing as love at first sight or first kiss.
14:21Let me guess.
14:22Her kingdom wants to take over yours and this is...
14:26What? A last ditch effort to avoid war?
14:28This is not a takeover.
14:31It's a merger and quite frankly it's none of your business.
14:34Now this is what's going to happen.
14:35I'm going to cut you down and you will take me to whoever has my jewels
14:39and then you're going to get my ring back.
14:42Why would I do that?
14:46Because you don't want me to tell anyone who you really are.
14:58Snow White.
15:01Help me get my ring back.
15:03Or I turn you over to the Queen's forces.
15:08And I have a feeling the Queen's not as...
15:11Charming design.
15:17Well.
15:19I wouldn't want to stand in the way if you're getting true love.
15:31Thanks for the shirt.
15:32Hey, is this your mother's?
15:34She'll never notice.
15:36Where does she think you are anyway?
15:37Playing whack-a-mole.
15:39And she bought that?
15:41She wants to believe it so she does.
15:43Oh, imagine that.
15:47She's here.
15:49Hey, don't get your hopes up.
15:51We're just getting started, okay?
15:57He woke up.
15:58What?
15:59I knew it.
16:00I mean, he didn't wake up, wake up, but...
16:02He grabbed my hand.
16:04He's remembering.
16:05What did the doctor say?
16:06That I imagined it, but I'm not crazy.
16:08I know it happened.
16:10We have to go back.
16:11You have to redo him again.
16:14Let's go.
16:16Wait.
16:17Wait.
16:17What?
16:18If I got through to him, if we made a connection...
16:21You don't believe that he's Prince Charming?
16:23Of course not.
16:25Somehow, someway, I touched him.
16:33You're right.
16:33He's waking up.
16:35Henry, you should stay by.
16:36What's going on?
16:38Is it John Doe?
16:39Is he okay?
16:40He's missing.
16:58What the hell are you doing here?
17:00And you?
17:02I thought you were at the arcade.
17:05Now you're lying to me?
17:06What happened to John Doe?
17:08Did someone take him?
17:09We don't know yet.
17:11His IVs were ripped out, but there's no sign for sure there was a struggle.
17:13What did you do?
17:15You think I had something to do with this?
17:17It is curious that the mayor is here.
17:20I'm here because I'm his emergency contact.
17:23You know him?
17:24I found him.
17:25On the side of the road years ago with no ID.
17:28I brought him here.
17:30Mayor Mills saved his life.
17:31Will he be okay?
17:32Okay?
17:33The man's been on feeding tubes for years under constant supervision.
17:36He needs to get back here right away, or quite honestly, okay might be a pipe dream.
17:40Well, then let's quit yapping and start looking.
17:43That's what we're doing?
17:44Just stay out of this, dear.
17:47And since I clearly can't keep you away from my son,
17:51I guess I'm just going to have to keep my son away from you.
17:56Enjoy my shirt, because that's all you're getting.
18:02Sheriff, find John Doe.
18:03Be her, Dr. Whale.
18:06Time is precious.
18:13Doctor, how long between your rounds since you last saw him?
18:16Twelve hours or so.
18:17Then that's all we need to account for.
18:19You two were the only employees on the floor last night, and you saw nothing.
18:23Not a thing.
18:24Did anyone walk by?
18:27I didn't see nothing.
18:29Miss Planser, was there anything unusual you saw during your trip with your class?
18:32I don't think so.
18:35We're looking at the wrong tape.
18:37This is the ward where Henry's class put up decorations.
18:40If this was really the tape from last night, we'd see the banners the kids hung.
18:43You fell asleep again.
18:45You selling me out?
18:46I ain't getting fired for this.
18:47You said don't drink on the job.
18:49Gentlemen, enough.
18:50Where's the real tape?
18:59He walked out alone.
19:01He's okay.
19:02Four hours ago.
19:04Where does this door lead?
19:05The woods.
19:07The woods.
19:09The woods.
19:10The woods.
19:12The woods.
19:29I thought you weren't the jewelry type.
19:31What's that around your neck?
19:33Don't worry about it.
19:36Careful!
19:38It's a weapon.
19:39What, dust?
19:40What kind of weapon is dust?
19:41Fairy dust.
19:43I thought that was a good thing.
19:44When it comes from a good fairy, this stuff is deadly.
19:48It transforms the most fearsome of adversaries into a form that's easily squashed.
19:54Then why didn't you use it on me?
19:56Because you're not worth it.
20:01It's very hard to come by.
20:04I'm saving it for a special sum.
20:06Ah, the queen.
20:09You got a lot of anger there, don't you, Snow?
20:12The charges on her posters are lies.
20:16Didn't stop her from sending her huntsman to rip out my heart.
20:20What happened?
20:21Well, not everyone is a soulless royal.
20:25They took pity on me and let me go.
20:28I've been hiding in the forest ever since.
20:30Trying to amass enough fortune to leave this place.
20:33Escape to another realm.
20:35Somewhere isolated.
20:37Or I can never be hurt.
20:40Sounds lonely.
20:41No lonelier than an arranged marriage.
20:43At least I don't prey on the innocent.
20:45Up until now.
20:46I've only ever stolen from the queen.
20:47I thought your carriage was one of hers.
20:48No one else uses that road.
20:50You took the scenic route.
20:51Well, lucky for me.
20:52All I'm doing, charming, is what it takes to survive.
20:58She wants me dead.
21:04So, what did you do to incur that much wrath?
21:08She blames me for ruining her life.
21:12Did you?
21:16Yes.
21:23I'm thirsty.
21:25May I?
21:28Sure.
21:29Make it quick.
21:43Uh.
21:48I can't.
21:50I can't.
21:52Amen.
21:58Amen.
21:59Amen.
22:00Amen.
22:08Huh. Look who we found.
22:18There's nowhere to hide.
22:20Queen wants your heart.
22:24And we're not going to disappoint her.
22:41What is it?
22:43The trail runs out here.
22:44You sure? Because I thought tracking was one of your skills.
22:48Just give me a second. This is my world. I got it.
22:53Right. Sorry.
22:56What does he mean his world isn't finding people your thing too?
22:59Sure.
23:00Just, people I find usually run places like Vegas.
23:05Not a lot hit the woods.
23:08It's an interesting job. Finding people helped you fall into it.
23:13Looking for people is just what I've done as long as I can remember.
23:19What made you start?
23:22Your parents?
23:25Henry told me that you're...
23:27That you were from a similar situation to his own.
23:32Did you ever find them?
23:34Depends who you ask.
23:40Henry!
23:41Did you find him yet?
23:42No, not yet. You shouldn't be here.
23:44I can help.
23:45I know where he's going.
23:47And where's that?
23:50He's looking for you.
24:01Oh, there's still.
24:30No!
24:30No!
24:31No!
24:32No!
24:40Oh, my God.
25:16Are you all right?
25:19You...
25:20You saved me.
25:23It seemed like the honorable thing to do.
25:28Are you ready?
25:30For what?
25:33My jewels.
25:37Right. You've got a wedding to get to.
25:40The trolls I sold them to are just beyond the next ridge. We need to be careful.
25:45What of trolls?
25:46You've clearly never met one.
25:48Aren't they just little people?
25:50You're thinking of dwarves.
25:52Show a little respect. They'll cut your hand off sooner, then they'll shake it.
25:56Well, then let's get this over with.
25:57Yes, we've both got places to be, so let's go.
26:00You have your lonely little corner of solitude to find?
26:02And you have a ringless fiancée to appease.
26:08You're the one who will come up.
26:10You're the last one he saw.
26:11He wants to find you.
26:13Henry, it's not about me.
26:15I just, I think he's lost and confused.
26:17He's been in a coma a long time.
26:18But he loves you.
26:20You need to stop chasing him and let him find you.
26:23Kid, you need to go home. Where's your mom?
26:25She's going to kill me, and then you, and then me again.
26:28She dropped me at the house, then went right out.
26:30Well, we need to get you back immediately.
26:32No!
26:33Guys!
26:43Is that...
26:45blood?
27:17Yeah!
27:19No!
27:21Trolls don't like horses.
27:25We walk from here.
27:27Follow me and keep quiet.
27:40Where are they?
27:42They're here.
27:56No!
28:04That's all right.
28:07It's fine. I know them.
28:09Why you here? I thought we were done.
28:12I wanna make another trade.
28:14I'm talking in front of him. Who is this guy?
28:16No, he's with me.
28:17Oh, that's good. With you, Lovitz, and all fun.
28:21He's no one.
28:22Look, I want to buy back the jewels I sold you.
28:26Who is he?
28:27I said, don't worry about it. Look.
28:30I'll give you back all your money.
28:33Just give me the ring. You can keep everything else.
28:44Thank you. We appreciate the help.
28:45He's too eager.
28:47Huh?
28:48This is a son-up.
28:49It's not.
28:49He's a royal!
28:52Let her go!
28:53No! You can trust me. Look, you can trust me.
28:55If I wanted to set you up, I would have dumped her to...
28:58The time for dealing is done.
29:01Search him!
29:02Look!
29:18No!
29:18No!
29:19No!
29:20No!
29:31Snow White. What a reward.
29:36Take her.
29:46Go! I'm right behind you.
30:07Follow me. They don't know the forest like I do.
30:29Royal blood is the sweetest of all.
30:57You...
30:59You saved me.
31:03It's the honorable thing to do.
31:06What about your special someone?
31:10I'll think of something else.
31:21Anyway...
31:24How could I let Prince Charming die?
31:28I told you.
31:31I have a name.
31:36It's James.
31:38It's nice to meet you, James.
31:43We should go. There may be more of them coming.
32:02Where is he? Can you see him?
32:04The trail dies at the waterline.
32:13Oh my God!
32:14Oh my God!
32:16Oh my God!
32:17I need an ambulance.
32:18I don't talk about it as soon as possible.
32:21Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
32:22I'm gonna see you. It's falling.
32:23It's falling. It's falling.
32:26It's falling.
32:27Hold on. I feel it.
32:28We need to slow down. Slow down. Slow down.
32:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
32:32No, no, no, no, no.
32:33I found you.
32:34It's gonna be okay.
32:35Hope's coming.
32:36Is he okay?
32:37Is he gonna be okay?
32:40Don't look, okay?
32:41Don't look.
32:43Come back to us.
32:45Come back to me.
33:16You saved me.
33:20She did it. She did it. She woke him up.
33:25Yeah, kid. She did.
33:30Who are you?
33:34I don't know.
33:37Oh, it's okay.
33:39You're gonna be okay.
33:42Watch your back.
33:43Coming through.
33:44Let's go, mister.
33:46We got a figure.
33:49120 over 70 to be in number five.
33:52And...
34:01David?
34:03David, is that you?
34:05Excuse me, ma'am?
34:06Oh, my God.
34:07Ma'am, you can't be in here.
34:08Please?
34:09Oh, my God.
34:09You can't be here right now.
34:10You can't be here, ma'am.
34:12Wait over here for a second, okay?
34:16Who is that?
34:19His wife.
34:24His wife.
34:24Oh, my God.
34:25Oh, my God.
34:31It's good.
34:37I can't stand there, but you can't continue.
34:39All right.
34:40It's good.
34:41He's really allowed to pack into the ice.
34:41I can't get a figure out of my Forms.
34:42Oh, my God.
34:45Oh, my God.
34:52And the sea.
34:54You can't get married without this.
35:05I know, not your style.
35:08Well, there's only one way to find out.
35:21Yeah, not me at all.
35:25I'm sure your fiancé will love it.
35:29Yeah, if you need more, you can have the rest. The ring is all I require.
35:36Oh, no. I'm good. Thanks.
35:39We both got what we wanted.
35:44Well, wherever you're going, be careful.
35:47If you need anything...
35:49You'll find me.
35:52Always.
35:54Always.
35:57I almost believe that.
36:05Well, goodbye, Snow White.
36:08Goodbye, Prince Charming.
36:09I told you. It's changed.
36:11Nah.
36:13I still like Charming better.
36:15Mm-hmm.
36:16You're not annoying, you're not annoying.
36:17I'm sorry.
36:23Nope.
36:48His name is David Nolan, and that's his wife, Catherine.
36:53And the joy on her face, well, it's put me in quite the forgiving mood.
37:03We'll talk about your insubordination later.
37:06Do you know what insubordination means?
37:09It means you're grounded.
37:19Thank you for finding my David.
37:22Um, I don't, I don't understand.
37:24You didn't, you didn't know that he was here in a coma?
37:29A few years ago, David and I were not getting along.
37:33It was my fault, I know that now.
37:37I was difficult and unsupportive.
37:39I told him if he didn't like things, he could leave, and he did.
37:43And I didn't stop him.
37:46It was the worst mistake I ever made.
37:48You didn't go look for it?
37:51I assumed he'd left town all this time.
37:54Now I know why I never heard from him.
37:57Now I get to do what I've wanted to do forever, say I'm sorry.
38:04Now we get a second chance.
38:10Well, it's something of a miracle.
38:20He's okay?
38:22Physically, he's on the mend, um, his memory is another issue.
38:26It may take time, if at all.
38:28What brought him back?
38:29That's the thing, there's no explanation.
38:30Something just clicked in him.
38:32He just got up and decided to go for a stroll?
38:35He woke up and he was delirious, and his first instinct was to go find something, I guess.
38:42Someone.
38:46Can I see him?
38:48Yeah.
38:48Of course.
38:55Henry, let's go.
39:00Wait, my backpack.
39:05Don't believe them.
39:07You're the one he was looking for.
39:09Henry.
39:10He was going to the Kroll Bridge.
39:12It's like the end of the day.
39:12The end of the story.
39:14Henry, he was going there because it's the last thing I read to him.
39:18No, it's because you belong together.
39:22Henry.
39:34Madam Mayor.
39:36Wait by the car.
39:39Miss Swan.
39:40I let you off the hook back there.
39:41Don't press it.
39:42I'm sorry, but Mrs. Nolan, kind of feels like her story could be a load of crap.
39:47All this time, there's a John Doe lying around in a coma and nobody puts it in the news.
39:51Nobody goes looking.
39:53Something's not right here.
39:56Well, what else would make sense to you?
40:00Why would Miss Nolan lie?
40:03Oh, do you think I cast a spell on her?
40:05I think it's rather strange you've been his emergency contact all these years.
40:10And you only found her now.
40:14Well, this town is bigger than you know.
40:16It's entirely possible to get lost here.
40:19It's entirely possible for bad things to happen.
40:22And just when it's convenient you manage to solve the mystery.
40:28Thanks to you.
40:29That tape you found was a stroke of genius.
40:34So we went back and looked at past tapes.
40:36Turns out Mr. Doe's been talking in his sleep.
40:39He's been calling out for a Catherine.
40:42After that, it wasn't hard to put the pieces together.
40:46And here I thought you and Mary Margaret would be pleased.
40:51True love won out.
40:54So bask in the moment, dear.
40:57Were it not for you two, they would have lived their lives completely alone.
41:02That's why I'm willing to forgive your incessant rudeness.
41:06Because all this has reminded me of something oh so very important.
41:13How grateful I am to have Henry.
41:18Because not having someone, well, that's the worst curse imaginable.
42:04I was a little back.
42:04But after this is the worst curse, I was going to have this.
42:05It's been a difficult Time for you.
42:05I'm so tired.
42:05All this is some of my time.
42:06My time was my own.
42:06I'm so tired.
42:06I want to have a chance.
42:06I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
42:07You're so tired.
42:10I know.
42:14I've had to have to have a time.
42:17Emma, sorry to bother you so late.
42:21Is that spare room still available?
43:13I don't know what to do, but I don't know what to do.
