"Previously on "once upon a time"... what were you thinking?" "How could you bring him here?" "and I'm just trying to help him." "I know when you're lying." "What are you hiding from me?" "I will finally become a hero." "Defeating the savior won't be as easy as you think." "move that wagon!" "On my word... charge!" "I-I can't." "Where do you think you're going?" "The ogres..." "They'll kill us." "We're the only things standing between those monsters and home." "they'll kill everyone." "How can we possibly win?" "This blade..." "It's called hrunting." "It was enchanted with light magic to ensure that whoever carries it into battle will be hailed a hero." "you can either be remembered as a hero or forever known as the coward who ran on the Eve of victory." "beowulf." "I'll fight." "To victory!" "Aaah!" "Aah!" "Aaaah!" "Do your worst!" "Y-you killed him." "I killed all of them." "isn't it?" "I called your office." "You didn't have an opening." "The bottle did." "I take it you asked David for permission to marry Emma?" "Aye." "he said "no"?" "actually. practically called me "son." "what's problem?" "that's perfect..." "Captain hook doesn't get cold feet." "No." "I've since learned something about my past..." "Something Emma will never understand." "There's not another living soul who knows this secret but me." "I could take it to my grave." "why don't you?" "Because it would seem that I am broken." "I actually want to tell Emma the truth." "why is that?" "maybe because you really are the man that Emma wants to marry. she's not gonna want to marry me. means that you've changed." "Do you think Emma will see it that way?" "I think maybe you need to find out." "Gideon!" "Gideon!" "Belle." "Did you find any sign of him?" "No." "There was nothing either." "Why am I not surprised you couldn't find him?" "Could it be because you were the one who lost him in the first place? perhaps you should find your mother." "I suppose I'll have to make do with you." "The most important thing right now is finding our son." "I think maybe it's best if I continue to look on my own." "I'm beginning to think we're not gonna find him out here." "why?" "Where..." "Where do you think he is?" "His heart is set on fulfilling his destiny." "And he can't do that without the sword." "What sword?" "The sword Emma shattered when he last faced her." "I don't understand." "Why does he think that..." "That killing Emma with this blade will make him the savior?" "He's not the first one to think wielding that sword would make him a hero. before he goes after Emma again." "We will." "belle." "I've already lost one son." "I won't lose another." "hero of the ogres war!" "papa?" "You really defeated the ogres?" "it is." "I told you this dagger would change our lives." "Now no one else has to die." "Why are you cheering that monster?" "Beowulf." "You lost this at the front." "Rumplestiltskin... you've changed since you hobbled yourself to escape the war." "How did a coward who ran from the war manage to defeat an entire army of ogres?" "I had something worth fighting for." "I know how." "You became the dark one." "Dark magic comes with a price." "We'll pay dearly for this..." "All of us." "Papa." "bae." "He's just jealous." "but he's right about magic." "The war's over." "You don't need it anymore." "bae." "It's part of me now." "That's not true." "you're still my papa." "You don't need the dagger anymore." "son." "No more magic." "Let's go home." "Father." "Gideon. this is the last place you should be." "father." "she won't be able to get the best of me again." "Perhaps she won't." "But there's still a few things you need to learn from your papa." "Not another step!" "How did you find me? this is where the other Robin used to come to think." "I thought we already established I'm not that man." "which is why I'm here." "I-I came to apologize." "I-I might have put pressure on you to be someone you're not." "I'm sorry." "uh..." "I-I think it's taking me a little longer to get used to this world than I imagined." "let me help you." "I... that's not necessary. pointing a bow and arrow at everything that moves." "when you put it like that..." "Why don't I meet you at your manse tonight?" "Just give me some time to clear my head." "I'm afraid I couldn't take any chances." "You said you'd help me." "You said you were on my side." "and I am. you will never become the hero you want to be." "Gideon..." "Do you know why I became the dark one?" "Afraid not. to save my first son." "I embraced darkness for good." "But I never became a hero. it's almost impossible to resist its call. not if I steal Emma's light magic." "And how are you gonna do that?" "Gideon." "It never worked to begin with." "I thought you'd want to see the fall of the black fairy more than anyone." "I do..." "But not if it costs my son his soul." "I have to defeat her." "I have to save my people from her curse." "no one knows more about darkness than I. giving into darkness can only lead to heartbreak." "Bae?" "What happened?" "Who did this to you?" "You can tell me." "The Baker's son." "why did he do that?" "So... so I'd look like a monster." "Just like me." "I think it's about time I had a word with his father." "you'll only make things worse." " Rumplestiltskin." " What?" "!" "There's a creature called a grendel. carried our family and friends off into the darkness." "I'm afraid my monster-slaying days are over." "and I intend to keep it. but we haven't heard from him since." "you can help them." "son." "I won't use dark magic." "You don't have to." "You can save those people without your magic." "No." "I-I can't." "You can." "And it'll be a chance to show everyone in the village the truth..." "That you're not a slave to that dagger." "You think that'll make things better for us?" "papa. and this little munchkin stayed at home." "And this little munchkin never lived to see the light of day again." "Careful." "I don't think your sister would be too pleased if you caused the demise of a second Robin." "I don't care." "You're not getting my daughter!" "I'm not here for the brat." "I never was one for children." "I robbed enough witches and warlocks to know the kind of magic you need to break a protection spell." "I had a partner that was savvy with that kind of stuff." "Sorry." "Grand theft sorcery isn't my thing." "I don't need your help to break in somewhere." "I need it to break out." "Oh." "Do you want to leave storybrooke?" "It's just that there's this pesky little protection spell surrounding the town. women to meet. not with your sister threatening to reform me at every step." "that I understand." "But why should I help you?" "Because you need to leave this town more than I do." "I know when somebody's got a target on their back." "I may have a few enemies." "isn't it time to make a few friends?" "When do we leave?" "Gideon:" "You think tea with dear old dad is gonna make everything better?" "No." "But a chat might." "I want to know what the black fairy did to you to make you think killing the savior is the only way to become a hero." "How can I trust you with the truth when you don't even trust me?" "Mm." "papa." "Grendel must be in the caves beyond the lake." "We'll never find the entrance." "we can." "The water's not deep." "We can Wade through it." "What is it?" "You brought the dagger?" "I couldn't leave it behind." "We could be in those caves in the blink of an eye." "that's not gonna prove anything to anyone." "but..." "I can't explain it." "I can." "It's just like when you needed the crutch to walk." "Yeah." "Only worse." "I couldn't imagine living without it." "Remember when an Ember jumped from the stove and caught your store of wool on fire?" "You rushed across the hovel to put it out..." "Without your crutch." "that was a short distance." "So is this. one step at a time." "There's only one way I'm gonna be able to do this." "this can control you." "bae." "you stop me." "Gideon:" ""Her handsome hero." "Your mother's favorite." "She sent me away with that copy." "I found it amongst her things." "I kept it beneath the mattress in my cell." "That tale got me through the endless nights. the black fairy caught me reading it." "She asked me if I wanted to be like the character I was named after... a hero." "I said I did." ""we'll see about that." "she took the boy in the cell across from mine." "where she whipped him. begging for someone to stop her." "and it was open." "I had a chance to save him. listening to his cries." "She left the door unlocked on purpose." "To show me I didn't have what it takes." "just like you." "But we can show your mother that she was wrong about both of us." "Will you help me?" "Yes." "But first you must settle your nerves." "What kind of tea is this?" "One laced with memory potion." "In a few moments..." "You won't remember what the black fairy did." "Your pain will be gone." "Torrent downloaded from RARBG" "did you really think a memory potion would work on me?" "I was raised by the black fairy." "don't. but you're no different than her. whether you want to or not." "Grendel." "We're too late." "An ogre's call?" "what is it?" "Are you all right?" "Papa!" "Stay away from my son!" "Or what?" "Don't." "We should be fighting grendel together." "bae." "There never has been." "Your father's right." "The only monster down here is the dark one." "You killed those villagers." "I didn't." "You did." "Why are you doing this?" "So he can be the hero he thinks he was meant to be." "We would have won that war without your dark magic!" "You would have died." "Everyone would have died!" "And doing this now won't make you a hero." "That's not what the villagers are gonna say when they see you standing over these bodies." "I command you..." "Stay exactly where you are." "run." "Get help." "Think your boy can stop me? but I'll be remembered as the hero who defeated the dark one." "This book contains the spell to repair the sword." "Restoring its power is gonna be more difficult than you think." "It requires the blood of the person who forged it." "father." "you were willing to kill the savior." "Now you're willing to spill innocent blood." "I don't have a choice." "I need to fix this sword to fulfill my destiny." "And what happens then?" "How does it end?" "With the destruction of the black fairy and all she stands for." "That's not how it ends." "That's not how it ever ends." "The black fairy destroyed your childhood." "Don't let her destroy the rest of your life." "You don't get a say in the matter." "who forged this blade?" "Whose blood do I need?" "The blue fairy's." "My fairy godmother?" "Gideon." "Don't snuff out the light in your heart." "If you do this..." "You might not be able to get back." "That's a risk I have to take." "please." "And I can't have you getting in my way." "father." "I command you..." "Don't try to stop me." "Where have you been?" "Don't get your arrows in a twist." "I just had to pick up a few things." "Pet snake?" "she's practically family." "I could hardly leave her behind." "we're doing this." "Mixed to order. including the town line." "New York City." "I thought you might be here." "I should have known you'd be with him. but I couldn't pass up a ticket out of here." "And baby Robin needs her mummy very much alive." "Do you really think I wouldn't notice my magic was missing?" "you mean lie to me again?" "You said you came here because you wanted to find meaning in your life." "Was any of that true?" "Yes! but you made it so hard." "How did I make it hard?" "All I did was try to help you." "By bringing me somewhere where I'm constantly reminded of somebody that I'm not." "I can't live up to the legacy of a man who died for you." "It won't work." "Don't listen to her." "She's lying." "Fine." "Don't believe me." "Go ahead." "Try it." "What the devil?" "! do you really think I wouldn't have done it already?" "we're trapped here?" "I bet you're happy now. but you don't understand the world out there." "It's not like where you're from." "Regina." "I know." "I'll dig through every book I have to figure out how to break the protection spell." "You will?" "Yes." "I owe it to him..." "To you..." "To let you find your happiness... even if it means helping you walk out of here." "You're just like your father." "You don't have it in you." "I summon thee!" "Ugh!" "I told you to stay away from my son." "Go ahead." "Kill me." "Then your boy will see that you are a monster. and I'm telling them the truth." "You think they'll believe you?" "rumple." "They watched you bring an army of ogres to their knees." "They know it's only a matter of time before you turn that dagger on them." "papa." "They'll never believe us." "bae." "you and me." "No." "I won't let him do this to us." "He's the monster." "He's the one who should pay." "boy." "Bae." "Don't." "stop him!" "please..." "Do it!" "Kill him!" "Aaaah!" "bae." "You were my fairy godmother." "Gideon." "I have been looking for you everywhere." "You were supposed to protect me when I was just a baby." "I know." "I tried." "But the black fairy..." "She was too strong." "I'm sorry." "Don't be. but maybe you can now." "No." "Killing Emma with that blade..." "It... it will not make you the savior the way that you think." "Save the lecture." "There's only one thing I need from you..." "Your magic..." "All of it." "Please don't do this." "Don't make this any harder than it has to be." "Gideon... stop." "what are you doing here?" "I watched one son darken his heart long ago." "I can't watch another do the same." "You can't stop me." "I commanded you." "I'm not here to stop you." "I'm here to do it for you." "please don't." "I'm sorry." "We will defeat the black fairy." "You will become a hero." "But I won't let you touch the darkness to do so." "father." "I don't think I'm going to be needing this anymore." "Bae..." "What are you going to do with the dagger now?" "I don't know." "But the Baker's son will think twice about pushing me in the mud when he sees me carrying this." "listen to yourself." "I'm sorry I asked you to give up your power." "I understand now why it's so hard." "But we need it." "It's the only way to protect ourselves." "bae." "You're right." "here." "Drink your tea." "papa?" "It tastes strange." "Memory potion." "bae." "One of us has to be strong." "where are we?" "How... how did we get out of the cave?" "You bumped your head." "It must have been harder than I thought." "son." "Beowulf won't be bothering us anymore." "What?" "What happened to him?" "It..." "It's not important." "You killed him." "how could you?" "bae." "I did what I had to do." "Beowulf was right." "That dagger is turning you into a monster." "Belle:" "What happened?" "I can explain." "No." "you promised me." "You said you would find Gideon before he did something he couldn't come back from." "Gideon didn't do this to her." "I did." "Why?" "Because it was the only way to stop him from doing it himself." "If he had..." "I fear he would already be lost to us." "I can return her magic." "No one needs to be hurt." "Gideon has the sword now." "It's more powerful than ever." "He'll go after the savior once again." "I just hope there's enough time that we can stop him before he does." "We will." "you put our son first." "You darkened your soul so he wouldn't have to." "If you can make the right choice too." "Emma?" "Are you home?" "There you are." "Hey." "wow." "Captain Morgan." "I thought we were switching to water." "I'm afraid it wouldn't give me the courage that I need." "there's something I need to tell you. and I'm not entirely sure how you're gonna react." "maybe I can make it easier and tell you that my answer would be yes." "Yes?" "I..." "What was the question?" "I might have found something in your sea chest that I shouldn't have." "Are you mad at me?" "No." "How could I ever be mad at you?" "It's just you and me." "no secrets." "I know I ruined the surprise..." "But what do you say?" "Emma swan... will you marry me?" "Killian." "Yes." "There you are." "Here to steal some more of my magic?" "No." "I'm here to return queen cobra before the charmings realize she's missing." "And maybe to..." "Apologize." "I shouldn't have gone behind your back and helped Robin escape." "No." "This one's my fault." "Your fault?" "then." "How did I ever think that removing my evil half would change anything? it was a test... and I failed. but I guess I'll always be paying the price for what you did..." "What I did." "What?" "!" "Where the hell is she?" "there." "Aah!" "Hope that didn't sting." "A... a bit of that anti-magic potion stuck to you in the blast." "I needed some." "thanks." "I just left you at the town line." "You left Regina at the town line." "You are Regina." "I'm the evil queen." "should recognize a doppelganger when you see one." "There's two of us now." "I don't care if there's seven of you now." "I'm leaving as soon as possible." "that's a shame..." "Because there's nothing for you out there." "Nothing you can say will keep me in this abysmal Hamlet a moment longer than I need to be." "Abysmal Hamlet"?" "Sounds like you haven't had the right tour guide." "But now you do. you'll have a whole new appreciation of what storybrooke has to offer."
