Once Upon a Time (2011–2018): Season 6, Episode 9 - Changelings - full transcript

Previously on
"Once Upon a Time"

I had a vision.
I die.

What's going on?

Oh, I think you know...

Mother.

I'm here to warn you...

do not let him destroy us,
like he did his last family.

You will never even
set eyes on this child.

Let me remind you, dearie,

that Rumplestiltskin
takes children,

not the other way 'round.

[door bangs]

[panting]

[gasping]

There's nowhere to hide from me,
dearie.

Whatever you're doing,

the Mother Superior won't
let you get away with it.

[whooshing]

That wingless glowworm
won't stop me.

None of you will.

[Evil Queen] What is it
between you and fairies?

You never have told me
why you despise them so much.

What are you doing here?



[chuckles] Oh, isn't it obvious?

I came
to join in the fun.

Oh, I thought you'd be happier
to see me.

And I will be,

once you've taken care of
that problem we discussed.

Oh, you mean Zelena.

[laughs]

You don't really expect me

to kill my own flesh and blood
for you?

Well, that depends on
how serious you are

about these new beginnings
you say you want,

because I think one of them
involves me.

Why should I believe

you've at long last
gotten over Belle?

Because I've finally
come to my senses.

Belle won't accept me
for who I really am.

I know you never really
wanted to rule alone.

Well,
you no longer have to.

There's just one tiny speck
of green in your way.

That being said,
if you don't mind,

I have my own problems
to attend to.

Which is what, exactly?

I'm gonna send a message
via fairy.

♪ ♪

[sighs]

So?

It was the Dark One
with the Evil Queen.

They're together.

[Emma] I used magic like that
when I was the Dark One

to speed up
Zelena's pregnancy.

This is about me!

Rumple's going to do
the same thing

so that he can use
the shears of destiny

to cut our son's ties
to his fate.

And then,
when that happens,

he can take him from me,

he can corrupt him,
or even worse.

[Hook] If that truly
is his plan,

- then why would he announce it to us?
- [Belle scoffs]

Because he wants me
to know what he's doing.

He's trying to scare me
so that I'll go back to him,

which I won't do,
I can't do.

There has to be a way
to stop him.

[birds chirping]

[door opens]

[Belle] Rumplestiltskin,
you're back.

I, uh... I did the wash,

and I polished the silver
like you asked.

Good.
Now you can take care of this.

[baby cries]

A baby? [exhales sharply]

But where...
where did it come from?

What...
Where are its parents?

They no longer matter.

The child's mine now.

[crying continues]

Y... Yours?

What you...
you stole him?

Yes.
Scandalous, isn't it?

Shh.

It's okay. Shh.

Oh, shh.

What kind of beast
steals a child from its parents?

I mean... [sighs]

What happened to you
that made you like this?

You'd do best to stop asking
so many questions.

Ahh, there it is.

I have work to do.

I'm not to be disturbed.

Well, at least tell me his name
so I can soothe him.

Or did you not even bother
to find out?

Why would I?

A name's a special thing.

You don't waste it

on something you've no intention
of becoming...

a... attached to.

What do you mean?

What do you plan on
doing with this child?

I shall be back
at sundown.

Don't think about
trying to hide it.

I'll find out.

- Ah!

The strand of what?

[echoing voice] I'm in the
Dream World again.

[son] Our Dream World.

Hello, mother.

My son.

[chuckles] It's really you again.

[exhales deeply]

Yes.
I've come to warn you.

The glowing thread you followed
is the strand of my fate.

It's what my father plans
to cut with these shears

as soon as I'm born.

I... I'm trying to stop him,
but I don't know how.

You know the answer to saving me
is already inside you.

It's right here
in front of you.

You just have to be
willing to see it.

And do so quickly,

or any hope of protecting me
will be cut short.

Just like my fate.

[scissors snips]

♪ ♪

Look at these grades.

I think they're
finally getting it.

Is something wrong?

I feel silly
saying anything

- with all you're going through.
- No. It's okay.

We're friends.

Aladdin.

He might have found something
to help locate Agrabah.

A genie lamp.

I don't know how much
you know about it...

I know a little bit.
My father found one once.

Then you know how unpredictable
genies can be,

how all their wishes
come with a price.

And you're worried about
what the price could be

if you wish
to find Agrabah.

What am I to do?

Don't you remember
the story you told me

the first day we met?

About the Princess
who didn't embrace

being the hero
she was meant to be?

- You mean the story about me?
- Yes, I do.

It is never too late
to be a hero, Jasmine.

This might be your chance.

So, in my dream,

my son said that
the answer to stopping Rumple

was right in front of me.

Didn't say where.

And this is the book
you were reading?

Yeah. [sighs deeply]

Yeah, I don't think a spell
for the removal of hair

is going to help us.

It's not the spell
that's gonna do it, Swan.

It's the book itself.

Or, rather,
the ink it's written in.

I'd be a poor excuse
for a pirate

if I didn't recognize squid ink
when I saw it.

Squid ink.

- It can stun Rumple.
- Aye.

And while he's held,

we can take the shears
from him.

Okay, I can use my magic
to extract the squid ink.

The question is...
how do we dose him?

I can do it.

He's doing all of this

because he thinks
it'll force me back to him,

and if that's what he wants,

then that's what I'm gonna
make him think I'm doing.

Sorry, Belle, but no.

It just gives Gold
an opportunity

to use his magic
to speed up your pregnancy.

[Hook] She's right, love.

Your dream
got us this far.

You just have to
leave the rest to us.

"...but Gideon
was unafraid.

He drew his sword

and turned to face
the evil Sorcerer,

ready to save
the people he loved."

[baby coos]

You really like this,
don't you?

So did I, when I was little.
[cooing continues]

This is the first book
that my mother ever read to me.

I used to tell her
that when I grew up,

I was going to be
a strong, brave hero,

just like Gideon
in the book.

Maybe you could grow up
to be like him someday.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Of course,
you'll only get the chance to

if we can figure out
what Rumplestiltskin is planning

before the sun goes down
and he takes you away,

which, now that
I've calmed you down,

maybe we can do that.

♪ ♪

Knock, knock.

Ooh!
Look who it is!

Your Evil Auntie!

Would you like
to hold her?

I think she misses you.

Oh, no. That's okay.

In fact, I was hoping
to catch you during nap time.

Why's that?

Why are you here?

Gold sent me.

So, what now?

Hmm?

Oh, I suggest
you put the baby down.

Mommy loves you.

[sighs]

So, this is it.

How about
we take this outside?

Enough games.

Let's end this.

Looks like evil
does beat wicked.

Goodbye, sis.

No.

[Regina] Not your heart.

Mine.

Regina.

You can't control me
with that?

Oh, I don't have to.

All I have to do
is crush it.

You wouldn't.

Not for her.

Really?

Let's find out.

[heart creaking]
[Evil Queen gasps]

[groans]

[beating continues]

So, now that you know
I'm serious,

you're going to tell me
why you'd do this.

[Zelena] It was Rumplestiltskin.

He said
it was either me or him.

Did he now?

Oh, you're just jealous!

You think he cares for you?

Don't you get it?

He lied to you

because he knew
your revenge wasn't enough.

You still have
a hole in your heart,

just like I did
when I first came here.

You don't know
what you're talking about.

And you're so desperate
to fill it,

you actually believed him.

- You're wrong!
- Am I?

Go ask him and find out.

After all,
we're done with you here.

[sighs]

[doorbell jingles]

Oh, look who it is.

The Savior's lap dog.

Come to pick out a new collar,
have we?

Actually,
I've come to try and stop you

from ruining another one
of your son's lives,

- just like you did with Bae.
- [Gold scoffs]

Is that a fact?

What made you think it was a good
idea to provoke the Dark One?

[gasps]

It's called
a distraction.

- Killian...
- I'm all right.

Let's get searching.

I'll remember this,
pirate.

He's not carrying
the dagger or the shears.

Okay.

You look up here.
I'll search in the back.

Are you okay?
What happened?

I saw another vision.

Well, I thought

No.

I was going to do this.

No. I will not let you

Why are you doing this?

After all this time,
you must know.

I will never be the man

It... It doesn't
have to be like that.

I'm afraid it does.

When we met,

I told you I was
a difficult man to love.

But more than that,
I think...

I think I'm a man
no one can love.

But this son,

with him,
I can start over.

Maybe he can love me.

Not like this.

Don't give up, Rumple.

I... I never wanted you
to be perfect.

I just wanted you
to try.

I have.

And look what's happened.

[sighs]

I've only ever
pushed you away.

Now, uh...

I... I'm afraid
all I really have...

is this.

Magic.

And it may get you
your son.

You know there's a price.

You won't just
push me away again.

You'll lose me forever.

Is that a price
that you're willing to pay?

♪ ♪

All right, hold still.

[whoosh]

[exhales sharply] Thank you.

After a scrap like that,

I don't think I could magic
a glass of warm milk,

let alone heal myself.

I'm lucky you happened by.

Yeah, about that...

No. Listen, let me...

let me go first.

I should have been the one

to reach out and find you,
to apologize.

- It's...
- I didn't come here to apologize.

Truth is, I thought
I'd find some magic here

to help reverse
an aging spell Gold used.

You mean you came here
to steal from me?

Well, what I supposed to think
you'd share?

After everything you did
to me and my friends?

Well, if that's
what you assumed,

why even bother saving me,
then?

Because that's what heroes do,
Zelena.

They save people.

- [Zelena laughs]
- Even the people who have hurt them

in... unimaginable ways.

So this is about
Robin hood.

You still blame me
for his death.

Yes, that's exactly right.

What about forgiveness?

What about redemption?

I mean,
you've been forgiven!

You've grown.

You've changed!

You're not me.

I can never forgive you.

I can pity you.

I can hate you.

I can spare your life.

But I can never
forgive you.

You ready?

I am.

I don't understand.

Where's the genie?

He's been freed.

But without a genie,

I can't use a wish
to get back to Agrabah.

Actually,
I think you will.

What are you doing?

You'll be a prisoner
of the lamp.

It's not
such a bad life.

Sure, some genies
are insufferable,

but I knew
a pretty great one once.

And he's been free
for a while now, so...

maybe I can be like him.

[sighs deeply]

Hey, hey.

Either way...

let's say we find out.

[Evil Queen] You didn't use it.

So Regina was right then.

You were just using me
to get rid of Zelena.

If you've come here
looking for retribution,

you've come
to the wrong place.

Oh, let me guess why

you didn't use the magic
on Belle.

She gave you some speech about
"The Man in the Beast,"

or whatever
she claims to see in you.

Even if you were the person
she wants you to be today,

how long
will that really last?

Soon enough, she'll realize,

as she always does,

that's not
who you really are.

But this time,

she'll have a child
to protect.

And she'll do
what she should have

way back when.

She'll go
and take the boy with her.

[pounds on table]

just as it was
the first time.

Rumplestiltskin has a child
who's in great danger.

I know.
That's why I'm here.

I came
as soon as I sensed

the fairy incantations
being read.

We have to stop him

before he can use it
to summon the Black Fairy.

Why? I thought that
all fairies were good.

Well,
she used to be good once.

- What happened?
- [Blue sighs]

No one knows exactly.

Just that her heart blackened

and she stopped
defending the children

that she was meant
to protect.

She started stealing them
instead.

Which means that that child
is in grave danger.

Rumple is trying to use it
to lure her.

But why?

What could possibly be
so important

that he'd want from her?

I wish I knew.

But, right now,
we just need to get you free

so that
you can save that child.

What? Me?

But I...
I don't have magic.

the same figure.

Everything was the same.

Except this time,
there was something new.

The sword... The sword
that's used to kill me, I...

It had a red Jewel
on the bottom of the handle,

almost glowing.

Not yet, anyway.

Who dares summon me?

Squid ink.

Nasty stuff.

Rumplestiltskin.

So you know who I am.

Oh, who hasn't heard of
the Dark One?

And if you've heard of me,

you know that squid ink
won't hold me long.

Oh, I know.

That's why...

I have this.

And how exactly
do you plan on using that?

Well,
that all depends on

how you answer
one simple question.

You steal babies.

Steal them
from their mothers' arms.

So, why, of all the babies,
in all of the realms,

why did you abandon
the one child

who was actually yours?

No.

No.

It can't be.

Oh, I'm afraid
it can be...

Mother.

That's right.

Rumplestiltskin
is your son.

Of course,
you would know that...

Had you bothered
to even give me a name.

And now you are gonna
answer my question.

Why did you abandon me?

[laughs]

Funny that the Dark One
should ask such a thing.

Sometimes you have to choose
power over love.

No more answers
for you today.

Guess you'll just have
to keep on wondering.

Son!

I understand now.

I mean, you didn't deserve
what she did.

But sacrificing the life
of an innocent child

is not the answer.
