Once Upon a Time

Previously on "Once Upon a Time"...

When we face our deepest fears, our true courage comes out.

When you used the hilt of your sword to vanquish your fears...

- She took it. - You're amazing.

You'll never get close to snow white's baby.

It no longer matters, I have your beautiful brain.

The next time your lips touch Emma Swan's,

all of her magic will be taken.

Would you mind holding on to this for a bit longer?

Our mother taught me one thing...

Never bring your heart to a witch fight.

- I will get your heart! - Not today.

A gift.

From sister to sister.

What are you doing here?

I saw your tree, and I thought you could use something better.

Red apples are so sickly sweet, don't you think?

People tend to like something... A little sharper.

And green apples are just... bitter.

That's not yours.

Story of my life.

Why are you here?

Oh. Sisterly concern, sisterly advice, you know.

Wanted to make sure you were all right

after our little showdown.

I'm fine. Are you?

Getting there.

Wow.

This is nice. So luxurious.

You really don't appreciate what you have, do you?

Right, because I got everything, and you have nothing.

If you want your superpower to be envy, go right ahead.

"Envy" is just another word for "ambition."

Well, that's just not true.

See, I strive for things.

I work.

You...

You cast a curse that was just a fancy form of running away.

With every advantage,

you still turn your back on every opportunity for happiness.

You, Regina... You just...

You just don't take risks. You don't live your life.

It's just such a waste.

I can see why our mother was so disappointed in you.

Disappointed in me?

She gave you away.

You have no idea what really happened.

That's exactly what's going to hurt you.

You didn't come here to give me sisterly advice.

- Why are you really here? - So perceptive.

I'm here, Regina, because I wanted to make sure

that you weren't someplace else so I could take what I need.

Or rather, the dark one could.

Do you feel it, sis?

He's taking your heart.

Robin hood: Stop right there.

You know this arrow never misses its mark.

If I could stand down, I would.

Heed me.

Give me the heart.

No.

And who is this?

Roland! Go back!

- Come here, little boy. - Don't!

Please.

I don't want to.

I really don't.

Come closer, little boy.

Daddy!

And stop.

Daddy, help!

I didn't want to do this, either, but...

It never misses its target...

And I've just changed the target.

If I drop my finger...

No!

I don't want to...

But I will.

Daddy!

Wait.

Wait.

Thank you.

And I am sorry...

Truly.

Oh, it's okay. It's okay, boy. You're safe.

You're safe.

Go to friar tuck.

What happened?

I'm sorry. It's gone.

Was anyone hurt?

I want this one...

Luckily, no.

Again, I must apologize. You trusted me, and I let you down.

No, you didn't. Nothing's worth the loss of a child.

But now we have a problem. I'm alive.

I don't follow.

She has my heart. Gold's taken it for her,

and since she hasn't crushed it and killed me,

that means she needs it for something far worse.

Worse than murder? What is she planning?

It doesn't matter...

Because I'm going to stop her.

Once Upon a Time - S03E18 Bleeding Through

This is all useless crap.

Hey, hey... Hey, stop!

Stop it! What... What are you looking for?

I need to destroy my sister. She has my heart.

Oh, relax.

She can't control me with it. I protected it from that.

The problem is...

I don't know what she's planning on using it for,

which is why I need to take her out.

That's why I need your help.

What do you have here?

"What do I have here?"

Self-respect.

Why on earth or any realm would I help you?

- - The woman who imprisoned me

in a tower in her castle...

Then put me in an asylum for 28 years,

who's done nothing but mentally and physically torture me

ever since we've known each another.

Huh. Bookworm's got teeth.

Get out.

Yes I did all those horrible things...

In the past.

But right now, I need something to defeat the woman

who's puppet-mastering your boyfriend.

She has your Rumple,

and unless you help me, you may never see him again.

I'm sorry, Belle.

I really, really am.

So, I've been trying to match the ingredients

that Zelena's been collecting

to whatever spell she intends to cast.

It would really help if I knew what is so special about your heart.

Does she just want it because you're sisters, or...

I have no idea.

The candle.

Where's the candle?

Here?

Not that, liberace.

The two-sided candle snow used to kill my mother. Where's that?

Its power is gone. Now it's just a relic.

Yes! That's it.

This isn't about how my mother died.

This is about how she lived.

There you go, Cora.

Ooh!

- Cora! - There she is!

And there you go.

Ohh!

Oh, off with you.

Aah!

Give us a dance, Lassie. Come on!

Oh, let go, Charlie.

I'm so sorry.

Sit down, Cora.

You've already worked past the end of your shift.

I dare say you've earned it.

Thank you.

You know, I've watched you this whole week that I've been here.

You work in a tavern, but you move like a lady.

I'm just a Miller's daughter. I earn a little extra here.

Someone once told me to act like what you plan to be,

so I try to be a little better than what I am.

Oh, I wish I could stay.

But tomorrow, I must press on.

I've already stayed longer than I planned.

Have you? Why?

I think you know why.

Oh, that's... I didn't want you to...

The royal crest.

I wanted you to know me as me, not as "Prince Jonathan."

Prince Jonathan.

With all the noblewomen,

I end up feeling like the last kernel of corn in the hen house.

But you... you put me in my place when I'm wrong.

And you are wrong pretty often.

This isn't how it's supposed to go,

but I hoped to only ask this question once in my life,

but I'm going to ask it twice...

Once now with...

With this ring made of straw.

But I will come back in two weeks

and turn this ring into gold.

Well, I'll bring you a gold one.

And I'll whisk you away to the castle as Princess Cora.

Will you marry me?

Yes. Yes.

You've made me so happy.

Oh, but these next two weeks are going to be torture.

Meet me at the crossroads so we don't waste any time.

I'll be there.

When do you have to leave?

Very early tomorrow, I'm afraid.

The tavern closes soon.
