"There's something not right here." "I know." "But your fingerprints are on that box." "And his are not." "And so now we have to deal with this." "Evidence that says I cutout Kathryn's heart and buried it in the woods." "This is insane." "If I don't book you, with all this evidence, it's gonna look like favoritism."

"The problem is that I'm living here, in a house full of dwarfs instead of in my palace, with my father as a princess." "But I can't do that any more, can I?" "Because he was murdered." "Murdered by the same woman who sent a huntsman to kill me." "Snow, your anger towards the Queen is understandable." "It's just not fair to take it out on your friends." "You're right."

"These accusations against Mary Margaret, they have been gnawing away at me." "She didn't do this." "I understand what you're going through." "It's painful when someone we care about betrays us." "She's a good person." "I know her." "Maybe you don't." "Maybe you just want to." "Everyone has a dark side, David." "Yeah, sure." "But having a dark side and doing something so evil, that's a different thing." "That's not what she is." "Perhaps." "I always believe that evil isn't born." "It's made." "All due respect, Regina," "I don't think you know much about evil." "Well, if she didn't do it, then who did?" "I don't know, that's what I've been trying to figure out." "But those blackouts I've been having, they've made everything so hazy." "Please tell me you're not accusing yourself."

"Sometimes it's staring right at us." "And we don't even realize it." "The heating vent?" "Emma, I don't even know where the heating vent in my bedroom is!" "Well, someone did."

"The evidence is piling up by the hour." "Okay, what are you saying?" "I'm saying you should think about hiring a lawyer." "GOLD:" "An excellent idea." "Mr. Gold." "What are you doing here?" "Offering my legal services." "You're a lawyer?" "Ever wondered why I was so adept at contracts?" "I've been following the details of your case, Ms. Blanchard." "And I think you'd be well-advised to bring me on as your counsel." "And why is that?" "Because the Sheriff had me arrested for nearly beating a man to death, and I managed to persuade the judge to drop the charges." "Exerting your inﬂuence isn't what's needed here." "We need to find the truth." "Exerting influence may be exactly what's needed here." "What's needed here is for me to do my job." "Well, no one's stopping you." "I'm only here to help." "MARY:" "Enough." "Please go." "You heard her." "No, I was talking to you." "Oh, Emma." "He's right." "I need help." "And you need to do your job." "Or else, I'm screwed." "So just, please, do your job the best you can." "And you'll prove me innocent." "Until you do, I need some practical help." "Trust me, this is in Ms. Blanchard's best interests." "Good luck, Mary Margaret." "I hope your best interests are what he's looking out for." "I can't pay you." "I didn't ask for money." "Then why are you doing this?" "Let's just say, I'm invested in your future." "That potion you gave Snow, it changed her." "She's not the same." "Well, of course it changed her." "It took away her love." "Left a big hole in her heart." "There is no cure for what she's got." "The person she was, there's no way to bring her back." "No potion can bring back true love." "Love is the most powerful magic of all, the only magic I haven't been able to bottle." "If you can bottle love, you can do anything." "But you don't care about that, do you?" "Now, what is it you really want?" "I want your help." "To kill the Queen." "Now we're talking, dearie." "GRUMPY:" "Snow, don't!" "Now, what is this?" "This is how you kill the Queen!" "How will that help me get into the castle?" "No, no, no, that's impossible." "You have to kill her when she's on the move." "When she's on her way to the Summer Palace." "Fire the arrow from this spot, here, and you'll be hidden from sight." "An arrow fired from this bow will get you exactly what you need." "It always finds its target!" "I can't stand by." "If you take that weapon, you do it alone." "That was always my plan." "(GIGGLES)" "So what do I have to do in return?" "Do?" "You don't have to do anything, dearie." "Everything comes with a price with you." "Last time you took a strand of my hair." "What's in it for you this time?" "Let's just say." "I'm invested in your future." "David." "What can I do for you?" "Dr. Hopper, I need your help." "Okay." "What is it?" "I've been having these blackouts." "And I need to remember what happened during them." "Why?" "I think I might know something that can help Mary Margaret." "Rumplestiltskin." "Show yourself." "RUMPLESTILTSKIN:" "Still dressing like a prince, I see." "Even though you ran away from the life I gave you." "How's that for gratitude?" "You gave me a prison sentence." "Yeah, one that you've now skirted." "Careful, dearie." "King George is a vengeful man." "I'm here about Snow." "Rumor has it she's after the Queen and she came to you for help." "Yes, indeed." " Ooh!" " What did you do to her?" "What did I do to her?" "You mean, what did you do to her?" "You caused her pain." "Without that pain, she would never have drank my potion to forget about you." "That's what changed her." "Undo the potion." "All magic can be broken." "Oh, yes, with "twoo wuv."" "So that's it, then." "True love's kiss will awaken her?" "Most certainly." "But it's gonna be hard to kiss her when you don't know where she is." "(GIGGLES)" "Name your price." "How about your cloak?" "My cloak?" "Why would you want my cloak?" "It's drafty in here." "(GIGGLES)" "Where is she?" "On her way to the Queen's Highway." "This is the route she's taking." "But you better be quick." "Because if she kills the Queen, she becomes as evil as the woman whose life she takes." "She can never become that evil." "Evil isn't born, dearie." "It's made." "If Snow starts down that road, you'll never get her back!" "(DOORS CLOSE)" "(GIGGLES)" "(MUFFLED MOANS)" "Get your hands off me!" "Snow!" "(GRUNTING) Who are you?" "What are you doing?"

"Did you steal these from her office?" "Yeah, the book said they could open any door." "There's no way they'll even fit in the lock." "We have to try." "(GRUNTS)" "EMMA:" "See, what did I tell you?" "Come on, Henry, I know you want to think the answer to everything is in Operation Cobra..." "It is!" "But sometimes the real world needs to come first." "Just try one more." "Please." "Okay." "One more." "But then we're done." "You do it." "This one." "Okay." "(LOCK CLICKS)" "Do you believe now?" "Snow!" "(GRUNTS)" "I assume you're the man Rumplestiltskin helped me forget." "What's your name again?" "It's me, Charming." ""Charming"?" "(SCOFFS) Beginning to see why I drank that potion." "This doesn't make any sense." "True love's kiss should have restored your memories." "It's not true love because I don't love you." "Yes, you do." "You just don't remember." "You love me and I love you." "Words, words, words." "That's all that love is." "And unfortunately for you, words don't mean anything to me." "You know what does mean something to me?" "Taking action and that's exactly what I'm going to go do." "Snow." "Snow!" "Listen to me." "You can't do this." "It's not who you want to be." "You can't kill her." "Really?" "Watch me." "Don't do it!" "Snow!" "Snow!" "ARCHIE:" "David, listen very closely." "Can you hear me?" " Yes." " Good." "Okay, I want you to go back in your memory." "Back to the last time you and Kathryn spoke." "Last thing you remember." "Tell me, where are you?" "In my bedroom." "When?" "The night she left." "And what were you doing?" "I called her on her cell." "What did you talk about?" "She said she realized she needed to start a new life." "Without me." "And she thought Mary Margaret and I should be together." "And how did that conversation end?" "She said she was hurt." "But she wanted me to be happy." "And do you remember anything after that?" "Yes." "I saw Mary Margaret in the woods." "And what was she doing there?" "(WHOOSHING)" "PRINCE CHARMING:" "You can't kill her." "Really?" "Watch me." "PRINCE CHARMING:" "Don't do if!"

"Can you explain why I have that memory?" "David, are you asking me if I had something to do with Kathryn's murder?" "The Sheriff found a heart in our spot."

"I can't let the King just kill him." "He came back for me." "It doesn't matter what happens to me now, I have to try." "That's not what I meant." "What I meant was, you can't do it alone."

"You know I do believe you, right?" "Yeah." "All this evidence tells me one thing for certain." "That you are being framed." "And I think Regina's behind it." "Then why am I still in here?" "Why don't you confront her?" " Because belief is not proof." " But you just said..." "If I don't do this right, things will end up worse for you."
