00:33What are you reading?
00:36The Hulk vs Wolverine.
00:39I'm Ava. I think I've seen you around school.
00:42You're in Ms. Blanchard's class, right?
00:45Almost ready, Ava.
00:49And this is my brother, Nicholas.
00:52Hi.
00:53Come on, let's go.
00:57You want to come hang out?
00:59Sure.
01:05Where the hell do you think you're going?
01:09Open up your bag.
01:10What?
01:11Don't think I didn't see you rob me. Open your bag.
01:14I didn't take anything.
01:22And a liar, too.
01:25That's why you were talking to me.
01:28So your brother could put that stuff in there.
01:31Henry, I'm shocked at you two.
01:35Just who do you think you are?
01:52A fine specimen.
01:55The wood it provides will keep our family's hearth warm this winter.
01:58Can't I have an axe?
02:00You did say you wanted me here so I could help.
02:03That I did.
02:04So, here's your task.
02:07Take the cart.
02:09Go fill it with kindling.
02:10The drier the better.
02:11Okay.
02:12And have your brother accompany you.
02:16Okay.
02:19Wait.
02:28Take this.
02:33Your compass?
02:34So I don't get lost.
02:36A family always needs to be able to find one another.
02:39Yeah.
02:39Okay.
02:40Go.
02:41Be safe.
02:52It's getting late.
02:54We should go.
02:59Hey.
03:00Give it back.
03:01Come on, Gretel.
03:02Give it back.
03:03No, Hansel.
03:04We need to get back to father.
03:07I'm...
03:07Follow me.
03:18This is where we left him.
03:20So why isn't he here?
03:26Father?
03:26Father!
03:33Father!
03:35Father!
03:38Father!
03:48Get off!
04:05Father!
04:06What are you doing in my forest?
04:14I'm sorry, Madam Mayor.
04:16Your son was shoplifting.
04:19Were you?
04:21Look for yourself.
04:29My son doesn't eat candy.
04:31And he knows better than just you.
04:35It's obviously those two.
04:37We're going.
04:40Henry, what happened?
04:42Miss Swan, must I remind you that genetics mean nothing?
04:45You're not his mother.
04:47And it's all taken care of.
04:48I'm here because I'm the sheriff.
04:50Oh, that's fine.
04:52Go on, do your job.
04:54Take care of those miscreants.
04:58Did you call their parents?
04:59Uh, the number they gave me was disconnected.
05:05Did you guys give Mr. Clark a fake number?
05:09Then why is it disconnected?
05:11Because our parents couldn't pay the bill.
05:19You guys are just trying to help out, huh?
05:23Please.
05:23Please don't arrest us.
05:26It'll just make things worse for her parents.
05:30Please forgive us.
05:31We didn't mean to bother you.
05:33We just...
05:34We just lost our father.
05:37Two helpless children.
05:39Lost and alone.
05:41The family torn asunder.
05:44Such a sad and moving story.
05:48Guards.
05:53Seize them!
05:53Nancy, don't run!
06:05Running from me is foolish.
06:08Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
06:10Ha-ha-ha-ha!
06:10Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
06:13Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
06:25Foolish!
06:28But also brave.
06:32And that bravery
06:35may just have saved you and your family's lives.
06:41You...
06:42You're letting us go?
06:43Oh, I'm doing so much more than that.
06:46I'm going to find your father.
06:49You are?
06:51Why?
06:53Because you two are going to do something for me.
06:59And then...
07:00You'll take us home.
07:04This it?
07:12Please.
07:13No.
07:14If our parents see you, they'll be so embarrassed.
07:20Did Henry tell you about my superpower?
07:22We just met him.
07:24I have the ability to tell when anyone is lying.
07:28But tell me the truth.
07:30Money problems aside, is everything okay at home?
07:32Yeah.
07:33We're great.
07:34Can we go?
07:38All right.
07:51She's gone.
07:53We're good.
07:55We're good.
07:58We're good.
08:42Why'd you guys lie to me?
08:45Where are your parents?
08:48We don't have any.
09:00Do you know them?
09:01Do they go to your school?
09:03I've seen them, but...
09:05I had no idea.
09:06None of us did.
09:08Ava and Nicholas Zimmer
09:10said their mother was a woman named Dory Zimmer.
09:12She died a few years ago.
09:14No one seems to know her or remember her.
09:16And the father?
09:17There isn't one.
09:18At least not one that they know.
09:20What does, uh...
09:21What does social services say?
09:25You didn't report them.
09:27I report them.
09:28I can't help them.
09:29They go into the system.
09:30The system that's supposed to how?
09:31Yeah, says the woman who wasn't in it for 16 years.
09:34Do you know what happens?
09:36They get thrown into homes where they are a meal ticket.
09:39Nothing more.
09:40These families get paid for these kids,
09:42and as soon as they're too much work,
09:43they get tossed out in it.
09:44It all starts over again.
09:45They're not all like that.
09:47All the ones I was in.
09:49What, we're just gonna adopt them?
09:52I wanna look for their father.
09:54They don't know him.
09:55He may not know they exist.
09:58And you think if he knows, I'll want them.
10:02I don't know.
10:03But what I do know
10:05is it's hard enough finding foster families
10:07to take one kid that isn't theirs, let alone two.
10:10It's their best shot, or...
10:13We're gonna be separated.
10:16No.
10:17That's not gonna happen.
10:19Please.
10:20Please don't let it.
10:33Excuse me.
10:35Mr. Krasowski?
10:37It's Krasowski.
10:40Everyone calls me K.
10:42Mr. K, I am Sheriff Swan.
10:44I'm hoping to look at the birth certificates
10:46of Ava and Nicholas Zimmer.
10:48I just, uh,
10:50fill out this form
10:52in triplicate.
10:57Okay.
11:04I'm so sorry.
11:05Those documents have been recently removed.
11:08By who?
11:09Don't worry, Miss Swan.
11:11You can relax.
11:13I've contacted social services.
11:16Turns out these kids are on their own.
11:18They need help.
11:19Which is exactly what I'm trying to do.
11:21I'm trying to find their father.
11:23Well,
11:25he doesn't exist.
11:28He has to.
11:30Well, of course, biologically,
11:31he exists.
11:32But there's no record of him.
11:35Which means we have no choice.
11:36These children need a home,
11:38so they will be put into the foster system.
11:41Storybrooke has a foster system?
11:42No,
11:43but I've contacted the state.
11:46Maine's group homes,
11:47unfortunately,
11:47are filled,
11:48but they put us in touch
11:49with two homes in Boston.
11:51A boy's home and a girl's.
11:53They're separating them?
11:55I don't like it either.
11:58But we've got no choice.
12:00You need to have them in Boston tonight.
12:02Me?
12:03Well,
12:04you wanted to be sheriff.
12:06This is what sheriffs do.
12:08Yes,
12:09you're taking them.
12:10No.
12:10I promised them
12:11they wouldn't be separated.
12:12Well,
12:12then perhaps you should stop
12:13making promises you can't keep.
12:18These children need a home.
12:20I'm just trying to find the best one.
12:25What is that?
12:26My father's compass.
12:28He gave it to me so I could find him,
12:30but now it's broken.
12:34When are you going to tell us
12:35where we're going?
12:37This is close enough.
12:39Close enough to what?
12:42The home of the blind witch.
12:45That doesn't sound good.
12:47She has something of mine.
12:50And I need you to get it back.
12:52What is it?
12:53Something I need to defeat
12:54a very wicked and powerful enemy.
12:57It's kept in a black leather satchel
13:00inside her house.
13:02Well,
13:03why don't you get it yourself?
13:04How come you need us?
13:05Because the house is protected by magic.
13:08I can't enter.
13:10But luckily,
13:11the spell doesn't work on children.
13:14You'll have to wait here
13:15until nightfall.
13:17And then,
13:18once the witch is asleep,
13:21you can sneak in.
13:25And if we do this,
13:27you promise you'll find our father.
13:29Oh, indeed I will.
13:32But there's one more thing.
13:34The witch's house is...
13:38unique.
13:39And because of this,
13:41you have to take special precaution
13:42once you're inside.
13:44Like what?
13:45No matter what you do,
13:47no matter how you're tempted,
13:49don't eat anything.
14:22Any luck?
14:24No.
14:25I know who they are.
14:27A brother and sister.
14:29Lost.
14:31No parents.
14:33Hansel and Gretel.
14:36Anything in there about the dad?
14:37Just that he abandoned them.
14:40Great.
14:41Sounds like a familiar story.
14:43Whoever this guy is,
14:44he could be in Laos by now.
14:46No, he's here.
14:47Just how do you know that?
14:49Because no one leaves Storybrooke.
14:52No one comes here.
14:53No one goes.
14:54It's just the way it is.
14:56I came here.
14:57Because you're special.
14:59You're the first stranger here.
15:01Ever.
15:02Right.
15:03I forgot.
15:04Well,
15:04if he's around here anywhere,
15:06I'm going to find him.
15:11Can you tell me about him?
15:13I don't know anything yet.
15:15Not their father.
15:17Mine.
15:19I told you about your parents.
15:21No, you're even living with your mom.
15:24Barry, Margaret, is it?
15:27She's...
15:29Never mind.
15:31Please?
15:38I was pretty young.
15:40I had just gotten out of the foster system,
15:42and the only job I could get
15:43was at this 24-hour diner
15:45just off the interstate.
15:48And, um, your dad was training to be a fireman.
15:52He always got the worst shifts,
15:54so he'd come in and order coffee and pie
15:55and sit at the counter
15:57and always complain that we didn't sell pumpkin pie.
16:03But he always came back the next night anyway.
16:06Did you get married?
16:07Oh, no.
16:08Nothing like that.
16:10We just...
16:11We hung out a few times outside of work,
16:15and...
16:15life happened.
16:17His got better,
16:18and mine got worse,
16:19and I got in some trouble.
16:23When you went to jail.
16:24I don't know.
16:27Yeah.
16:29And before I went, I...
16:31I found out I was pregnant with you.
16:36And I tried to contact him.
16:41And I found out
16:44that he died
16:46saving a family from a burning apartment building.
16:51So, you think I'm a savior, Henry?
16:55He was.
16:58Your father was a real hero.
17:01Do you have anything of his?
17:04Something you can remember him by?
17:08Something I could see?
17:10I...
17:13I don't.
17:17Henry.
17:18I'm sorry.
17:19I gotta go.
17:20I may know how to find this guy.
17:33I want to show you guys something.
17:36What's that?
17:38It's my baby blanket.
17:40It's something I've held onto my whole life.
17:42It's the only thing that I have from...
17:45from my parents.
17:49I've spent a lot of time with a lot of kids in your situation.
17:52And all of them...
17:55all of us.
17:57We held onto stuff.
17:59I want to find your father.
18:02But I need your help.
18:04Is there anything of his
18:07you've held onto?
18:08I might have something.
18:11But if I give it to you...
18:13you'll make sure we stay together, right?
18:16Right.
18:24Compass.
18:26Our mom kept it.
18:29She said it was her dad's.
18:35Did you find them?
18:38Who?
18:39Your parents.
18:41Not yet.
18:43But I'm gonna find yours.
19:14I'm gonna find yours.
19:24Can you be sure she's sleeping?
19:26I can't.
19:27I can't remember what the queen said.
19:29Not even a lick.
19:38You're right.
19:39Look.
19:41And there's the satchel.
19:44What do you think is inside it?
19:46Does it matter?
19:48All that matters
19:48is getting it to the queen
19:50so she can find father.
19:51What do you think?
20:11What do you think?
20:16I don't know.
20:43I smell dinner.
20:59Emma, how lovely to see you.
21:02I'm flattered you take time off your busy schedule for me.
21:07What can I do for you, Sheriff?
21:09I'm looking for information on this old compass.
21:12Any idea where it could have come from?
21:14Oh, well.
21:16Look at the detail.
21:18You know, this is crystal.
21:21This jeweled setting.
21:23And despite the rather unfortunate shape it's in,
21:25this is actually a very unusual piece.
21:28The person who owned this obviously had great taste.
21:32Then where would someone like that buy it?
21:34Right here, of course.
21:36You know it?
21:37Indeed.
21:38A piece like this is difficult to forget.
21:40Do you happen to remember who bought it?
21:44Well, I'm good with names, Miss Swan, but maybe not that good.
21:50However, as luck would have it, I do keep quite extensive records.
21:59Here we are.
22:05What's your price?
22:08Forgiveness.
22:10How about tolerance?
22:14Well, that's a start.
22:16The compass was purchased by a Mr. Michael Tillman.
22:19Anything else?
22:20Just a name.
22:22I generally find that's all one needs.
22:28Good luck with your investigation.
22:44Not possible.
22:46Actually, it is.
22:47I'm sorry.
22:48Dory, she wasn't my mom.
22:51It was just once.
22:53Sometimes that's all it takes.
22:55I met her when I was camping, and we, um...
23:01No.
23:02It's not possible.
23:03I don't have twins.
23:06Yes.
23:07You do.
23:09You have twins that have been homeless ever since their mother passed away.
23:12You have twins who have been living in an abandoned house
23:15because they don't want to be separated from each other.
23:17You have twins who are about to be shipped off to Boston
23:19unless you step up and take responsibility for them.
23:22Look, I can barely manage this garage.
23:24I can't manage two kids.
23:27And why are you so sure they're mine?
23:30Besides the timing?
23:34Have you ever seen this?
23:46I lost this.
23:48Let me guess.
23:49Twelve years and nine months ago.
23:52I know it's a lot.
23:54Believe me, I know.
23:55A month ago, a kid showed up at my doorstep.
23:57I gave up for adoption, asking for help with something.
24:01And I ended up moving here for him.
24:03I heard about that.
24:04It's the mayor's son.
24:05But staying in town, it's...
24:08it's a lot different than taking him in.
24:10I don't have my kid
24:12because I don't have a choice.
24:14You do.
24:16Those kids did not ask to be brought into this world.
24:19You brought them into this world.
24:20You and their mother.
24:22And they need you.
24:23And if you choose not to take them,
24:25you are gonna have to answer for that every day of your life.
24:29And sooner or later, when they find you,
24:31because believe me, they will find you,
24:35you're gonna have to answer to them.
24:43I'm really sorry I am.
24:47I don't know anything about being a dad.
24:53If it's a good home you're looking for,
24:54it's not with me.
25:04Hello?
25:05Hey, it's me.
25:07I need you to come outside right away.
25:09Is everything okay?
25:10Don't say anything in front of the kids,
25:11but no, it's not.
25:15He doesn't want the kids.
25:17And you don't want to tell them?
25:19I can't.
25:20Because all I'll be telling them
25:22is that the false hope I gave them is exactly that.
25:24The truth can be painful, Emma,
25:26but it can also be cathartic.
25:27I agree on the painful part.
25:29Well, hey, look, you told Henry the truth,
25:31that his father's dead and he's handling it great.
25:32I didn't tell him the truth.
25:36What?
25:37Henry's father was no hero,
25:38and trust me, he does not need to know the real story.
25:43Maybe we can hide the kids,
25:44just until we can find a family for them,
25:46someone to take care of them.
25:47Yes, hiding the 12-year-olds is a good plan.
25:49You have a better idea?
25:50Maybe there isn't an idea.
25:52Maybe you just have to...
25:53Sheriff.
25:55Shouldn't you be on the interstate?
25:56What are you doing here?
25:58Seeing to it that you do your job.
26:01You know you don't have to check up on me.
26:02I know what I have to do.
26:03Really?
26:04Because those kids are supposed to be in Boston tonight.
26:12Where are you?
26:16Oh, yes.
26:19Nice and tender succulent roast you'll make.
26:36Criddle, she's going to cook me.
26:38We're going to do something quick.
26:39Stay calm.
26:40When she opens the keys to get you to try to fight,
26:42then while she's scaring you to the oven,
26:44grab the key that's in her pocket
26:45and toss it to me through the bars.
26:51She's coming.
26:52She's coming.
26:53I can't do it.
26:53I'm going to die.
26:59Gravy or butter.
27:02What shall it be?
27:12Come with me, little boy.
27:40Gravy or butter.
27:43Gravy.
27:49How shall I baste you?
27:55Well, there it is.
27:58Time to cook.
28:07Quick, Gravy.
28:08Lock her in.
28:10Let me out!
28:12Oh!
28:14Let me out!
28:15Come back right now!
28:16Let me out!
28:18You'll pay my hand!
28:22Let me out!
28:30Ah!
28:33I would have gone gravy.
28:44My dear children.
28:48Were you successful in your task?
28:50Yes, your majesty.
28:51Though you were almost made into dinner.
28:53Oh, how barbaric.
28:59Now, if I could have my satchel.
29:08I've waited a very long time for this.
29:12Let's hope you didn't let me down.
29:22Oh, you did it.
29:27Yeah, we did.
29:32You've got a strong heart, girl.
29:36Well, you remind me of myself at your age.
29:39We did all that for an apple.
29:42Oh, trust me, dear boy.
29:43This is not just an apple.
29:46It's a weapon.
29:49A weapon for a very particular and devious enemy.
29:53One who's still under the illusion that she's safe.
30:02Whatever your plan is, we did what you asked.
30:05Now you have to keep your promise and find our father.
30:08Of course.
30:11To reunite your family so you can live happily ever after.
30:17You were left alone in the woods.
30:20You deserve better than a father who would abandon you.
30:26But he's not what we have.
30:29Perhaps he doesn't have to be.
30:32What do you mean?
30:33You and your brother have impressed me.
30:36You aren't the first boy or girl that I've sent into that sticky sweet house.
30:44But you are the first to emerge.
30:49And as a reward,
30:53I've decided to invite the two of you to live with me.
30:58Here.
30:59You mean that we get to live in a castle?
31:04Yes.
31:06You would have your own rooms, of course.
31:09Personal carriages and valets, too.
31:13All of your dreams could come true.
31:17No.
31:19We want our father back.
31:21He would never abandon us.
31:23And even if he did,
31:25we would never want to live with someone as terrible as you.
31:29Is that so?
31:31Yes.
31:32We're going to find him, with or without your help.
31:35And when we do, we're going to prove you wrong.
31:38We'll see about that.
31:45Randall.
31:47What's happening?
31:49What's happening?
31:57Come on.
32:01What's it gonna be?
32:05Here.
32:08I'm sorry.
32:10But we gotta go.
32:19Let's go, Henry.
32:24No!
32:25You can't take them!
32:27They can't leave Storybook Emma!
32:29I can't.
32:30Something bad will happen.
32:33Something bad has already happened.
33:09I'm kidding me.
33:10What happened?
33:11What's wrong?
33:12Engine stalled.
33:14Who are you calling?
33:16Help.
33:24Now she's cavorting with dwarves?
33:28When did that happen?
33:31Your Majesty, the prisoner you requested is here.
33:34Bring him in.
33:38I demand to be released.
33:41My children are in that forest that you took me from, alone.
33:44They could be in great danger.
33:46Yes, I know all about your children.
33:50That compass you gave sweet little Gretel.
33:54Well, I'm afraid it didn't help her find you, though, now, did it?
33:57What have you done with them?
33:58Tell me where they are!
34:00Gone.
34:00I told them you abandoned them, leaving nothing but a compass to find their way.
34:06But I didn't bring you here to answer your questions.
34:10You're here to answer mine.
34:15I offered your children everything, whatever their hearts desired.
34:20And they still chose uncertainty because of their blind faith in you.
34:26Tell me why.
34:28Hmm?
34:30Why did your children refuse me?
34:34Because we're a family.
34:38And family always finds one another.
34:47Release him.
34:50You want to let me go?
34:51You can all be together.
34:55As a family.
34:58As soon as you all find one another.
35:13Ansel, wake up.
35:15Ansel.
35:27She let us go.
35:29I'm scared.
35:30Don't be.
35:31Everything will be fine.
35:32Don't be.
35:34Don't be.
35:41Don't be.
35:51Don't be.
35:53Don't be.
35:53Don't be.
35:54Don't be.
35:55Don't be.
35:57Don't be.
35:58Don't be.
35:58Don't be.
35:59Don't be.
36:00Don't be.
36:00Don't be.
36:01Don't be.
36:01Don't be.
36:02Don't be.
36:02Nicholas, look.
36:34Those are them.
36:36Those are them.
36:39In your car.
36:40It's fine.
36:43I just wanted you to see him.
36:46Just once.
36:50I didn't think I could do it either.
36:52I gave up Henry because I wanted to give him his best shot.
36:56And when I saw that he didn't have it,
36:58I couldn't leave.
37:01I was just as scared, more probably.
37:05But once I saw him, I got to know him.
37:10We couldn't go back.
37:28You're taking him?
37:30It's a Boston.
37:31You don't have to.
37:44No.
37:46You don't.
38:09Hey.
38:11What happened?
38:14And their dad, he shut up, changed his mind.
38:23Changed his mind.
38:26Just like that.
38:27He might have had a little nudge.
38:30They found their father.
38:32That's great.
38:36I wonder what that would be like.
38:39Maybe you'll find out.
38:41You can't give up.
38:42I don't know.
38:45I'm glad I think getting up might be the best plan.
38:48I think I need to let go.
38:50No, you don't.
38:53Really?
38:54If they wanted to know me, they wouldn't make it so hard to look.
39:01Maybe.
39:03But maybe there's other reasons.
39:04Maybe there is an explanation.
39:06There is something crazy.
39:09Something even crazier than Henry's theory.
39:11Yeah, what's Henry's theory?
39:12Well, that my parents put me in a magical wardrobe and sent me to this world to save them.
39:22Oh.
39:23And who does he think they are?
39:25Well, for one, you.
39:32Me.
39:34Well, Snow White.
39:36Snow White has a kid.
39:38Apparently that book you gave him, not exactly the stories in the most traditional sense.
39:45I have a kid.
39:47Do you think I'd remember that?
39:49Yeah, you'd think.
39:53You do kind of have my chin.
39:58I think I need to go get some air.
40:02I'm going to go think.
40:05If you're going to be back late, I can wait to eat with you.
40:07No, don't do that.
40:09I'll leave you leftovers.
40:12What a pretty blanket.
40:13Do you agree with it?
40:15Thanks.
40:17Good night.
40:18Good night.
40:46Um, what's that?
40:47Just an old file. What's up?
40:49Pumpkin pie. I... I thought you'd like some.
40:54It was pumpkin, right?
40:56Right.
41:03Henry, about your father...
41:06Yeah?
41:10I'm glad I told you.
41:12Me too.
41:19Do that.
41:22What you did with Evelyn and Nicholas,
41:26you really are changing things.
41:57Hey.
41:58Hey.
42:00Is this story, Brooke?
42:03Yeah.
42:04Any place to get a room around here?
42:06Uh, you're staying?
42:09That's the plan.
42:10Just looking for a bed.
42:13Granny's Bed and Breakfast is just up the road.
42:16Another two blocks.
42:22Hey, I didn't catch your name.
42:24That's because I didn't give it.
42:34I thought you said strangers don't come to Storybook.
42:36They don't.
42:48What was on earth?
42:49We want to make our families look rich.
42:49That's how I didn't watch it.
42:49Hallow.
42:49My feet Bear just opened them up.
