Frederic and Rapunzel in “Unfinished Business”

Frederic

And now, I have failed you too, Arianna. (upset) (Rapunzel enters her mom and dad's bedroom)

Rapunzel

Dad?

Frederic

(sniffles) Rapunzel. I thought I made it clear-- (Rapunzel sighs and hugs her dad then he hugs her back) (whispers) Thank you.

Rapunzel

She's gonna be okay, Dad. We'll get her back.

Frederic

This... this is all my fault. (blames himself)

Rapunzel

Dad, no. No, it's Varian and those rocks, and--

Frederic

No. No, Rapunzel. You were right. (sees the picture again) I have been keeping something from you. As you know, the night you were born, your mother fell deathly ill. I was desperate to do anything to save her, and you. So, I sought the miracle of Sun Drop Flower. But what I've never told anyone was that there was more to the story. You see, earlier that night, I was warned. Warned that taking the Sun Drop Flower would reap unimaginable consequences. That by removing the light... I'd be awakening a darkness. But, I had no choice. I've known about these black rocks all along. At first, I didn't wanna believe that they were the results of my actions. And when that became impossible, I chose to ignore them. And I expected everyone else to do the same.

Rapunzel

Including me.

Frederic

Yes, yes. Especially you. But the truth is, the rocks are destroying Corona. And you... You are connected to them somehow, I am responsible. No king... would ever put the welfare of his family before that of his country. (Rapunzel holds her dad's hand)

Rapunzel

But a father would. (Rapunzel's dad smiles at her then they hug before letting go) Now... let's find a way to save our kingdom. (tense music)
