- You're up.
- [Snow] Regina, what were you thinking?

How could you bring him here?

[crowbar clatters]

[Regina] He wanted a fresh start,
and I'm just trying to help him.

I know when you're lying.

What are you hiding from me?

When I kill Emma Swan,
I will finally become a hero.

Defeating the Savior won't be

I... I can't.

[whimpers]

Where do you think
you're going?

The ogres... they'll kill us.



We're the only things standing
between those monsters and home.

If we run,
they'll kill everyone.

[roaring]

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.

So, you can either
be remembered as a hero

or forever known
as the coward

who ran on the eve
of victory.

All right, Beowulf.

[sword unsheathes]

I'll fight.

To victory!

[door bell jingles]
[glass thuds]

It's a little early for rum,
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?

[bottle thuds]

Aye.

And what, he said "No"?

Quite the opposite,
actually. [sighs sharply]

He gave me his blessing,
patted me on the back,

practically
called me "son."

[laughs]

Well, so, what's problem?

Cold feet?
'Cause, I mean, 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.

So, why don't you?

Because it would seem
that I am broken.

[glass thuds]

I actually want
to tell Emma the truth.

Now, tell me, Cricket,
why is that?

Well, maybe because
you really are the man

that Emma wants to marry.

If I tell Emma what I did,

she's not gonna
want to marry me.

Yeah, but the fact
that you want to tell her,

even though you don't need to,
means that you've changed.

Do you think Emma
will see it that way?

I think maybe
you need to find out.

Gideon!

[birds chirping]
[foliage rustling]

Belle.

Did you find
any sign of him?

- No.
- There was nothing

in the north woods, 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?

If you're looking for a fairy
to take your anger out on,

perhaps you should find
your mother.

Well, since the Black Fairy
is trapped in another realm,

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.

Well, 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.

We have to find him
before he gets his hands on it,

before he goes after
Emma again.

You can trust me, Belle.

I've already
lost one son.

I won't lose another.

[indistinct shouting]

To Rumplestiltskin,
hero of the ogres war!

[all cheering]

Is it true, papa?

You really
defeated the ogres?

Aye, Baelfire, it is.

I told you this dagger
would change our lives.

Now no one else
has to die.

[all cheering]

Why are you cheering
that monster?

Beowulf.

You lost this at the front.

[light laughter]

Rumplestiltskin...

Oh, 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.

[men murmuring]

Dark magic
comes with a price.

We'll pay dearly for this...
All of us.

[door opens and closes]

Papa.

Don't listen to him, Bae.

He's just jealous.

Maybe, papa,
but he's right about magic.

The war's over.

You don't need it anymore.

I can't just
give it up, Bae.

It's part of me now.

That's not true.

Beneath those scales,
you're still my papa.

You don't need
the dagger anymore.

All right, son.

No more magic.

Let's go home.

which is why I'm here.

I... I came to apologize.

I... I might have

[inhales sharply]

[grind tickling]

[chair thuds]

I'm afraid I couldn't
take any chances.

You said you'd help me.

You said
you were on my side.

I did, and I am.

But killing the Savior,
even to destroy the Black Fairy,

you will never become the hero
you want to be.

Gideon...

do you know why
I became the Dark One?

Afraid not.

I took the power
to end the first ogres war,

to save my first son.

I embraced
darkness for good.

But I never
became a hero.

Because once
you give in to darkness,

it's almost impossible
to resist its call.

Not if I become the Savior,

not if I steal
Emma's light magic.

And how are you
gonna do that?

This is a useless relic,
Gideon.

It never worked
to begin with.

You know, I thought
you'd want to see

the fall of the Black Fairy
more than anyone.

Oh, 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.

Gideon, no one knows more
about darkness than I.

If you do this,

giving into darkness
can only lead to heartbreak.

Bae?

What happened?

Who did this to you?

You can tell me.

The Baker's son.

Well, 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.

No, papa, you'll
only make things worse.

[people murmuring]

- Rumplestiltskin.
- What?!

There's a creature
called a Grendel.

He raided our village,

carried our family and friends
off into the darkness.

I'm afraid my monster-slaying
days are over.

I made a promise to my son,
and I intend to keep it.

We sent Beowulf after the beast
days ago,

but we haven't
heard from him since.

Papa, you can help them.

But I won't break
my promise, 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?

I know it will, papa.

This little Munchkin
went to see the Wizard,

and this little Munchkin
stayed at home.

[whooshing]

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!

Oh, I'm not here
for the brat.

I never was one
for children.

[clears throat] You see,
back where I'm from,

I robbed enough witches
and warlocks to know

the kind of magic you need
to break a protection spell.

Problem is,
I had a partner that was savvy

with that kind of stuff.

[scoffs] Sorry. Grand theft
sorcery isn't my thing.

Oh, 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.

I came here for a fresh start...
new people to rob,

places to drink,
women to meet.

But, you see, I'm not
gonna get any of that,

not with your sister threatening
to reform me at every step.

Believe me,
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.

Well, 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.

This way, papa.

Grendel must be in
the caves beyond the lake.

We'll never
find the entrance.

Yes, we can.

The water's not deep.

We can wade through it.

[roaring continues]

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.

But, papa, that's not gonna
prove anything to anyone.

I want to do this
the right way, Bae, but...

I can't explain it.

I can.

It's just like when you needed
the crutch to walk.

Yeah. Only worse.

When I felt
the power this gave me,

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.

Well, that was
a short distance.

So is this.

Think of it like
walking across the hovel,

one step at a time.

There's only one way
I'm gonna be able to do this.

But, papa,
this can control you.

Exactly, Bae.

If you see me go to use
its dark power, you stop me.

[Gideon] "Her Handsome Hero."

Your mother's favorite.

She sent me away
with that copy.

Years after
the Black Fairy kidnapped me,

I found it
amongst her things.

I kept it beneath
the mattress in my cell.

That tale got me through
the endless nights.

But then one night,

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.

She just laughed, and she said,
"We'll see about that."

That night, she took the boy
in the cell across from mine.

She dragged him to her tower,
where she whipped him.

I could hear his cries
echo through the halls,

begging for someone
to stop her.

I reached out to the door
of my cell, and it was open.

I had a chance to save him.

But I didn't.
I just... I just sat there,

listening to his cries.

She left the door unlocked
on purpose.

[inhales sharply]

To show me I didn't have
what it takes.

I was a coward, father,
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.

One laced
with memory potion.

In a few moments...

you won't remember
what the Black Fairy did.

You killed those villagers.

You did.

Why are you doing this?

So he can be the hero

Gideon, look, you were willing
to kill the Savior.

Now you're willing

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

destroyed your childhood.

Don't let her destroy

who forged this blade?

Whose blood do I need?

you might not be able
to get back.

Pet snake?

And with so many
dank sewers out there,

I could hardly
leave her behind.

notice my magic was missing?

You said you came here

because you wanted to find
meaning in your life.

Was any of that true?

Yes!

I truly wanted
to find a purpose here,

but you made it so hard.

How did I make it hard?
All I did was try to help you.
