You want to come with me to Storybrooke?
All I care about is a future where we might be a family.
[Cora] You were sisters once.
Just promise me you'll hold on to each other.
I think you have another love to find.
Hades.
Go to him.
You told her what?
To give him a chance.
And you thought that was a good idea because?
Because we're family.
And I'm trying to trust Zelena.
She thinks she can change Hades.
I'm sorry, luv,
I missed the part where Zelena changed.
You'd think the ex-pirate with a rum habit
would cut my sister some slack.
Well, you'd think that the Evil Queen
would be smarter than to send the Wicked Witch
to romance the most devious man alive.
[Emma] Easy, guys.
We're not gonna win the war against Hades
if we use all our ammo on each other.
[Hades] The Savior has a point.
What the hell are you doing here?
Get behind me, kid.
Oh, I didn't find you to hurt you.
I came for your...
[sighs]
...wow, this is hard....
help.
What could you possibly want our help with?
Simple.
I went to meet Zelena for our date
and found this.
No.
Zelena, she's been kidnapped by Gold and Pan.
They're asking for a meeting tomorrow morning.
Gold wants you to tear up the contract for his unborn child.
So, do it.
I just got my sister back.
- I'm not going to lose her now. - Neither will I.
I'll give them what they want,
but I know the Stiltskins and their tricks.
They're not gonna keep their word.
Not unless I have an ace up my sleeve.
Luckily for you, you got one.
I'm sorry.
You've been Zelena's doting sister
for all of what, three hours? No.
Who's going to be more motivated than me?
Emma.
What? Why?
If Zelena gets out of this alive,
I'm prepared to offer you a deal.
Don't trust a word he says, Emma.
[Regina] Now I agree with the pirate.
You and I both know
your family wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.
If you help me save her,
I'll take everyone's names off their headstones.
So we can leave the Underworld.
So, what do you say, Savior?
Do you want to send your family home or not?

So, I just thought I'd ask on the off chance
if there's someone still working here
who remembers that baby being brought in.
26 years ago?
We can't keep a cook for six weeks.
Maybe, like, a long-time customer.
The food ain't good enough for that kind of loyalty.
Sorry, honey, but you're not gonna find anyone here
who remembers this.
Tough break, kid.
What?
Heard what you were asking.
You a reporter or something?
No, nothing like that.
You're the baby, aren't you?
From the article... you're the baby, right?
Intuition. Mine's usually pretty good.
And I'm sorry.
It's hard not being able to find your family.
It's just a dead end.
I've had a lot of those.
So, thanks for your concern, 'but I got this.
Can I say one more thing based on my intuition?
Okay.
I look at you... young, pretty...
Okay.
...and I see someone who now...
Stop me if I'm wrong, but...
someone who stole money
from a couple convenience stores in Phoenix,
got arrested, and took off on her bail.

Well, hello there.
Once Upon a Time S05E20 "Firebird"
Sync and corrected by Gianluca Belfiglio
Show yourself.
Glad to see you followed instructions
and came alone.
Zelena.
I tried to stop them, but...
It's not your fault, it's theirs.
Oh, is that so?
Because we wouldn't be here
if you'd ripped up that contract when I asked you to.
You didn't have leverage.
And now I do.
So, you stand there and don't move
except to rip up that contract.
Then you get the witch.
There.
Now give her back.
Oh, you can have her back.
But we didn't say anything about her heart, did we?
You see, my body is ready to walk the earth again.
Except for one thing.
A living heart.
So, if you don't mind.
My heart has got a protection spell on it.
You may be good at magic, but we're better.
[grunts]
[energy crackles]
- [Zelena] Aah. - You sure about that?
I was beginning to think you couldn't get in.
Locks don't bother me much.
He ripped up the contract like you wanted, so leave.
Since when does the Savior answer to the King of Death?
Since he's the one getting my family home.
You picked the wrong team to back, Ms. Swan.
You won't get what you want from him.
Really? Because you just did,
which is making me wonder why you're still here.
Yeah, I suppose you have a point.
Rumple.
Looks like your little boy only came for what he wanted.
I don't think you're gonna be that lucky.

Is that a good sign or a bad one?
It's a great one if you want to leave.

it'll turn into an open portal back.
Which we can't go through because of those.
So, let's get on with it.
Gladly.

I died. My wife's heart brought me back.
How long were you dead?
- A minute or so, maybe less. - Ah.
I didn't think I recalled you entering this realm.
Your soul never left your body.
That's why it worked for you.
So Hook's been down here too long?
And his body's rotting away up there.
Even if your soul could return to it,
I doubt either of you could stomach the smell.
Well, Emma, it appears you have to return without me.

Oh, I dated a guy once who's good at picking locks.
You could've left.
The Hancock County Courthouse has a file on me.
I didn't know that. They could know something.
They could know the name of the boy who brought me in.
There... There could've been a note with me
that was dropped into the file, something, anything.
- You could take me there. - Why would I do that?
Because I can get out of handcuffs,
and you'll have to track me down in every city and every hotel
all the way across the country.
Look, if you help me with this,
I'll go quietly all the way to Phoenix.
I just want some answers.
You want to know where you come from.
Courthouse opens at 9:00 tomorrow.
[Hades] Orpheus and Eurydice.
[Henry] I know this myth.
She died, and he followed her to the Underworld
to get her back.
These are the only two souls who ever escaped my realm.
How?
I thought you said that broke the laws of nature.
Orpheus helped Eurydice escape by feeding her ambrosia,
the food of the gods.
And where exactly do you get some of that?
'Cause I don't recall seeing it on the menu
at the Blind Witch's.
[Emma] An elevator?
I'm the Savior. I've got magic.
And I'm the Lord of the Underworld.
That should tell you something.
The ambrosia, it's powerful,
and like a petty spoiled child,
it wants all the power for itself.
Everything else is shut down below.
There's no hopping in and out in a puff of smoke.
This is the only way,
and once you're down there, you're on your own.
And then what? We're knee deep
in a field of ambrosia?
Can't be that easy.
I'm not really sure.
Even I've never ventured that far down.
So we're going to the one place in hell
where even the devil is afraid to go.
Not hell and not the devil.
And not because I'm afraid.
There's a test to ensure that only those
who are worthy of eating ambrosia can reach it,
and it will require
offering up your heart for judgment.
Without magic, how am I gonna take out my own...
[flesh squelching] [grunts]
You're not.
My gift to you.
Take good care of it.
Let's have this be the last time we do this today, okay?
Just trying to help.
So, failing this test
has, what, fatal consequences?
One would think.
You don't have to do this, Swan.
And you didn't have to sacrifice your life
to save all of us from the Dark Ones.
We're going.
We'll be right here waiting for you.
- Regina... - I know the drill.
If you're not back by sunset...
Everybody leaves, promise me.
You'll be back.

She may not accept you for who you are, but I will.

Touching, papa.
Yes, abandonment hurts, doesn't it?
But with the contract gone,
I only care about one thing...
Getting Belle home so her father can wake her.
I'd love to help you make the journey.
But that's going to be quite difficult
since I didn't get the heart you promised me.
[laughs] Oh, there's the man I remember.
Always thinking about what's in it for himself.
[chuckles] There's something in it for you, too.
Pandora's box.
You can keep her safe in here in exchange for a heart.
Otherwise, you both might lose out
and miss that portal home.
Opening soon, but only till sunset.
So, do we have a deal?
Tick, tock.

We don't have a choice, Henry.
[Regina] The minute Emma and Hook get off this elevator,

What about "Operation Firebird"?
We can't leave the Underworld
without helping the people trapped here.
They were trapped here because of Hades.
Who, fortunately for them,
- will no longer be a resident. - [Hades] She's right.
The Underworld will function as it was meant to...
A place for people to deal with their unfinished business
without anyone getting in their way.
Yeah.
But a lot of the people down here
don't even know what their unfinished business is.
But maybe as the Author, I can tell them.

Not without Emma and Hook.

We can still help people.
Robin, take the baby to the portal.
No. I'm not leaving you in this place.
He may be playing nice,

Okay, then give the baby to Zelena.
