Archie was trapped in the mining tunnels, he lit a match and began to walk further into the tunnel, to find Henry and Julia, "Henry? Julia?" Archie called out.

Henry and Juia walked around a corner, "Archie!" Henry said.

"Henry, Julia!" Archie said as he rushed over to them.

"You're here to help us!" Julia said with a smile.

"No, you two, listen. We got to get out of here, okay?" Archie said.

Henry and Julia backed away from him, "So, you're still against me?" Henry said sadly.

"Henry, Julia, there's no time for that. Come on, Henry! Julia! Come on!" Archie said.

"You don't believe us? You'll see. You'll see!" Julia said as they turned around and ran deeper into the mines.

"Henry! Julia! Henry, Julia, come back! Henry!" Archie said as he followed after them.

Flashback

Jiminy and his parents approached a house and Jiminy turned to his parents, "Look, can't we skip this tonight? I mean, we don't need the money," Jiminy said.

"Everything isn't about money, Jiminy. It's about the principle," Myrna said.

"A commitment of excellence," Martin said.

"Excellence at stealing money," Myrna said.

"Now, go ahead and take the elf tonic, Jiminy," Martin said.

Myrna knocked on the door and a young couple answered the door, "Oh, such beautiful young people!" Myrna said.

"Pardon me, uh... Do you have a place in your heart for an honest man and his..." Jiminy glanced at his parents who were making themselves look innocent to the young couple, "Elderly parents?" Jiminy said as he turned back to the couple.

"Of course. Come in," The man said and they walked in.

"I'll heat up some broth," The woman said and walked over to the stove.

"Oh, we love broth!" Myrna said.

"Oh, what a beautiful home!" Martin said as they looked around.

"Your cobbles are so even!" Myrna said.

"Oh, and that's a real fact," Martin said.

Jiminy and his parents were sat with the couple at the table eating the broth that the woman heated up, "Thank you for your kindness," Jiminy said to the couple.

"I just can't get it out of my head. That family..." Myrna said.

"Terrible way to go," Martin said.
