Once Upon a Time

Previously on Once Upon A Time.

You tried to take away someone that I love.

And now, I'm taking back my son.

Maybe this will make you believe.

Why is it so important to you that I do?

Because everyone needs you!

Snow!

I will find you!

I will always find you.

King George took James. I have to get him back.

You can't do it alone.

Let's show that king what Snow White and seven dwarfs can really do.

Do you want to come and live with me?

More than anything.

Then buckle up. We're leaving Storybrooke.

I don't recall us expecting any company.

Sheriff Swan. What are you doing here?

Henry invited me.

Do you honestly believe I'd allow you into my house for dinner

after all the threats you made to my family?

I didn't come for dinner.

Then what did you come for?

You.

We all did.

Henry!

No. No. Let me go.

I command it!

After everything you've done to all of us?

My apologies, Your Majesty. But my conscience is clear!

- You're not queen anymore, sister! Tighter!

She needs to feel our pain!

You took our love and ripped it apart!

And now you're gonna pay!

Oh!

Rotten to the core.

I just wanted to win,

for once.

You took away our happiness.

And now it's our turn to take away yours.

What?

Henry!

Henry, please don't let them do this to me.

You did this to yourself.

Is that all your stuff?

All I need.

Wait. You wanna go now?

We're leaving now?

Uh-huh. I'm getting you out of here. Away from all this. Away from her.

No, no. Stop the car!

You can't leave Storybrooke. You have to break the curse.

No, I don't. I have to help you.

But you're a hero! You can't run! You have to help everybody.

Henry, I know it's hard for you to see it, but I'm doing what's best for you.

That's what you wanted when you brought me to Storybrooke.

But the curse, you're the only chance to bring back the happy endings.

Henry...

- Henry! - (TIRES SCREECHING)

Henry! What were you doing? You could have gotten us killed!

Please, please don't make me go.

We can't go!

Everything is here.

Me, your parents, your family.

Please, Emma. They need you. Your family needs you.

Did you really think that I would let you get away?

Hmm?

It would appear you've had quite the adventure since then.

Whatever it is you're gonna do to me, get on with it!

I took you in as my son and you betrayed me!

I would have given you everything.

The crown, the kingdom.

All you had to do was marry King Midas' daughter.

But you decided to follow true love.

Losing my life for love?

That's a sacrifice I am happy to make.

As you wish.

Release the blade.

What is the meaning of this?

Sorry to drop in on you.

Regina. What do you want?

I want the man you pretend is your son.

And I'm prepared to pay any riches Midas promised you in return for him.

What do you plan to do to him?

Oh, I promise he'll suffer.

Far more than some swift and simple beheading.

HOW?

By using him to destroy his one true love.

By using him to bring an end to Snow White.

Your Majesty, to what do I owe the pleasure?

My tree is dying. Why?

Perhaps it's your fertilizer.

You think this is funny?

Well, I'll tell you what I think.

I think it's a sign of the curse weakening.

Because of Emma.

But do you care? No.

You're content to just sit back and do whatever it is you're doing.

While all my hard work burns.

That's not all, is it?

Come on. You might as well get everything off your chest.

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

Henry.

Miss Swan wants him.

She'll have that boy over my dead body.

The curse was meant to take away.

Snow White and Prince Charming's happiness.

Perhaps you giving up Henry is just the price to keep the curse unbroken.

I think I'd rather just get rid of her.

Well, well. You're gonna have to be quite creative.

We both know the repercussions in killing Miss Swan.

- The curse would be broken. - The curse would be broken.

That's because you designed it that way.

Undo it.

You know, even if I wanted to, I couldn't.

Magic, well, is in short supply around here.

And dwindling by the minute.

You want the curse broken.

Why?

That's not something I care to discuss.

Don't bother. You can shove your reasons.

I wanna strike a new deal.

One where I can get rid of Emma without shattering the curse.

Unfortunately for you,

a negotiation requires two interested parties.

And I'm already planning a trip.

I'll give you anything.

Oh.

You no longer have anything I want, dearie.

But I will give you a piece of advice, free of charge.

I'd plan a trip of your own.

Because once people waken up

and remember who you are and what you did to them,

they are gonna be looking for blood.

Oh.

I thought you'd left.

Mary Margaret...

But I couldn't tell for sure because you didn't bother to say goodbye.

Do you remember when I left, when I ran, what you said to me?

You said, "We have to stick together."

That we're like family.

Yeah. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left.

You're right. You shouldn't have.

So why, after everything, did you just go?

I don't wanna be Sheriff. I don't want people relying on me.

I don't want this. Any of it.

What about Henry?

I took him with me.

You abducted him?

Maybe.

So you don't want people to rely on you but you took your son?

Now, that sounds like a stable home for him.

What the hell is wrong with you?

I want what's best for him.

And running is what's best for him?

Or is that what's best for you?

You're reverting, Emma,

into the person you were before you got here,

and I thought you'd changed.

You thought wrong.

Well, regardless, you have to do what's right for Henry now.

What's that?

Oh, I don't know.

You're his mother. That's your job.

So you figure it out.

If we're gonna get him out,

we're gonna have to get over that wall.

There's a soldier on every parapet.

We're gonna need some air support.

Air?

I know just the person who can help us. Someone who owes me a favor.

Don't shoot. It's only me.

Red, you know, you got someone on your chin.

Sorry.

What were you able to find out?

Your Prince is still alive.

Then why don't you look happy?

Because I also heard word the Queen is here.

She knew I'd come for him.

It's a trap.

Indeed.

It matters not. I can't stop now.

But I'll understand if any of you wanna turn back.

- No! - Not a chance.

Well, then there's no time to waste.

Why is the Queen doing this?

I destroyed her happiness.

And now she wants to destroy mine.

Leave us.

What do you want?

Hmm.

I suppose I see the allure.

I wonder if you will be quite so incorruptible

after your precious Snow is gone.

Whatever she did to you, leave her alone and take my life instead.

Oh. Who said anything about taking her life?

Oh, no.

I have a far more satisfying brand of punishment for her.
