04x01 - A Tale of Two Sisters

[ Ocean - A long time ago ]

(A boat is trapped inside a storm. In a cabin, a queen is looking for a pencil. She writes a note. Her husband comes in.)

Adgar: What are you doing?!

Gerda: I have to finish this.

Adgar: My dear, no. The vessel... It's going down. We have to abandon ship.

Gerda: They have to know. We might not make it home, but this could.

(On the deck.)

Adgar: Are you sure we're doing the right thing?

Gerda: Yes. Anna and Elsa must know the truth. It's the only thing that will save them.

(The boat sinks.)

[ Arendelle - Past ]

(Five years after their parent's death, Anna and Elsa put flowers on their parent's graves.)

Elsa: Anna, they would be so proud of you.

Anna: Both of us, Elsa.

Elsa: Now, come on. I have a surprise for you.

Anna: Really? Because surprises tend to be hit or miss in this family.

Elsa: This one you'll like. I promise. It's for your wedding.

[ Storybrooke ]

(Elsa goes out of the barn. She explores the area. She finds the sign of Storybrooke.)

Elsa: "Storybrooke"

(Regina is going out from Granny's Diner. Emma follows her.)

Emma: Regina...

Regina: Not now, Swan.

Emma: I'm sorry. When I brought Marian back, I didn't know who she was. I didn't intend to cause you pain.

Regina: Well, your intentions really don't matter. Because once again, I've felt the brunt of heroism. Always the villain... Even when I'm not.

Emma: What was I supposed to do?

Regina: Well, you were dumb enough to travel through time. Maybe you should have left things well enough alone.

Emma: I am not gonna apologize for saving someone's life.

Regina: She was to die anyway. What did it matter?

Emma: What mattered was she was a person. And... Whatever she did, she didn't deserve to die.

Regina: Well, maybe she did.

Emma: Well, you would know. I saved her from you.

Regina: The woman who did that, that was the person I was, not the person I am. I worked very hard to build a future... A future that's now gone.

Emma: You don't know that.

Regina: Well, I know it's complicated enough that his dead wife is back.

Emma: Regina, for that, I'm sorry. If there's anything I can do to help...

Regina: Swan... The more you try to help... The worse my life becomes.

(Robin, Marian, and Roland join Emma and Regina.)

Robin: Marian, please, meet her. She's not at all what you think. Regina... I-I want you to meet Marian. I... I want us to talk about this.

Marian: Wait, were you two... Are you two together?
