Back in Storybrooke mines, Belle and Ariel track down the Darling Brothers before they destroy Pandora's box.

Belle- They're, uh, probably just up ahead.

Ariel- Shouldn't we wait for the dwarves?

Belle- We don't have time.

Michael- Here. Use this pickaxe.

Suddenly, Belle and Ariel rush out from where they were hiding.

Belle- You can't do that.

Michael raises the gun in his hand, while John has the pickaxe ready to swing.

Belle- You destroy that box, people we really care about will die.

John- Then we have something in common. Because if we don't, someone we care about will die.

Belle- What are you talking about?

Michael- None of your concern. Now stay back. We don't want to hurt you.

John- But we will. You should know when to walk away.

Belle- Never.

Belle then pulls a lever, which sends the minecart down the tracks towards the Darling Brothers. At the same time, John pulls back to strike Pandora's Box. The cart reaches him before he can and knocks the two over. Belle grabs the box and kicks away the gun.

John and Michael both stand.

John- Please. You're making a terrible error. There is too much at stake.

Belle- Destroying magic?

John- That's not it. We don't care about magic.

Belle- Then what were you trying to do?

John- Trying to save our sister.

Ariel- Your sister?

John- She's been Pan's prisoner for a long time.

Michael- Over a century.

Belle- That's impossible. You'd be...

John- Dead. We're well aware. Pan has kept us alive to do this bidding, and as long as we do, she lives.

Michael- And then when we're done. He'll free her. And us.

John- But now...

Belle- Now is your best chance. We can defeat Pan, and your sister can finally be set free.

John- You think you're the first person who thought they could beat him?

Belle- Why? Have you tried?

John- Yes. But we failed. It's how our sister ended up his prisoner in the first place.

Michael- We tried to be heroes...but it just made things worse.

John- And now? Now that we failed, he'll kill her.

Belle- We get this back to Neverland, Pan is gonna have much bigger things to worry about.

John- Can you really stop him?

Belle- Yeah. I believe we can. And if what you're saying is true, we will save your sister.

Ariel- Who is she?

The Darling Brothers exchanged an unsure glance.

Michael- Her name is Wendy. Wendy Darling. If you see her, tell her John and Michael are waiting for her.

Back in Neverland, Pan is letting Wendy out of her cage that she has been in staying in during her time on the island.

Wendy- Am I... am I free?

Pan- Not yet Wendy. *holds hand out to help her out* But that doesn't mean you can't come out and play.
