Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, an evil queen

banished every storybook character you've ever known to our world.

Who knows the truth and who can break the spell?

You don't play with the curse.

I don't understand. You're not going to kill me?

Run!

But you not only lied to her, you lied to me.

What are you saying?

That we shouldn't be together.

It's been 24 hours since Kathryn went missing.

Have you found anything?

I need you to come to the Sheriff's station with me

and tell me everything.

Thank you.

I hope Kathryn is somewhere warm. Not out in the cold.

David.

I think you need to start worrying about yourself a little bit more here.

Your wife is missing.

You are in love with another woman.

There's this unexplained phone call...

I know. I know. I just...

I can't explain why it says that.

I didn't do anything to my wife.

I'm pretty good at spotting a liar,

and honestly,

liars have better material.

Now, go home.

I can go?

We don't even know if there was a crime yet.

So, get some sleep.

Thank you.

And, David, maybe get a lawyer.

You can't be serious.

A whole year without a roof over your head?

You get used to it.

And plus I had the motorcycle,

so if I didn't like a place after a while...

Ruby? - (SIGHS)

I've never even been out of Storybrooke.

What was your favorite place?

Nepal.

Best people.

They have these prayer temples,

carved into mountains that are overrun with lemurs.

- What's a lemur? - Ruby!

Just give me a sec!

They're little animals.

Yeah. And they have these eyes that reflect light,

so at night it looks like they glow.

Ruby, stop flirting and get over here!

Who's there?

Let me in.

I'm just a poor old widow. Spare me!

- Let me in, or I'll... - Yes?

I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow...

You'll huff and puff?

I couldn't think of nothing.

So you thought you'd level the house with the power of your breath?

Hmm.

Well, a case could be made...

- (CHUCKLING) Oh! - Shh!

Granny's in the other room.

You know she doesn't like me opening the shutters.

No, she doesn't like me.

That's what I meant.

- You gotta get out of here. - I know.

Anywhere.

A blacksmith's boy can get work all over.

You'd leave everyone you know?

You'd do that for me?

I'd do anything for you.

Peter, watch out, your air of danger is slipping.

Come out. Just for a minute.

It's already dark. She'd never let me.

Red? Where are you? What are you doing?

Let go.

Pay the price. One kiss.

Red, get in here!

What's going on?

Nothing that concerns you.

Just a bunch of fools trying to get themselves killed

over a few dead sheep.

Wolf took out a dozen last night.

So you called me in here to what?

Just to keep me in sight?

Good evening, Red.

We're just forming up a hunting party.

You're hunting the wolf?

Can I go with them, please? I'll be safe in a big group.

Don't be ludicrous. You're staying inside

and you're keeping that hood on.

You know red repels wolves.

They're not wearing red.

They're damn fools, too.

There're only two more nights left in wolfstime.

Let it take a few sheep.

Now, go home.

I hope they kill the wolf.

Then we can have lives again.

You just want to roam around the woods with that wastrel, Peter.

He's not a wastrel.

He works hard. He has plans.

Oh, I am sure he does.

Now come on.

You know what to do.

Now, go to sleep, girl.

Yes, Granny.

I hope I don't see that boy mooning around here tomorrow.

And wear the hood!

Yes, Granny.

I can't believe you did that. That was humiliating.

I want you to start working Saturday nights.

Come on. We have an agreement about Saturday night.

I want to start training you to do the books and the reorders.

Business is booming lately,

and with more money comes more paperwork.

Yeah, none of that sounds good.

It's gotta be done.

Is this a punishment? For talking to that guy?

If I wanted to punish you, I'd have better reasons.

For one thing, you were late.

For another thing, Liza,

you dress like a drag queen during fleet week.

And you dress like Norman Bates

when he dresses like Norman Bates' mother.

Ruby, you're a grown woman.

You can't keep acting like some kid.

You just want me to act like you until I turn into you.

Well, I am not a fossil yet, Granny.

I should be out there having adventures with lemurs!

Well, as long as you work here, you are gonna listen to me.

I didn't ask to work here.

Then what's keeping you?

Nothing. I quit!

Did you get any sleep at all last night?

I'll sleep with the trolls in the afterlife.

Here.

I'll get the shutters.

You go check if that wolf left the chickens alone.

Yes, Granny.

Wear your hood!

I'm sorry. I can go.

- Are you stealing our eggs? - No.

Not a lot.

Hey, hey. It's all right.

Thank you.

It was just that last night, there was something out there.

It was howling, and I heard it, and it was so cold, so...

Hey, come on.

Come with me.

Everyone calls me Red.

I'm Sn...

Frosty.

Frosty? Really?

No. It's just that someone's looking for me, so...

You don't know or trust me yet.

Hey, I get it. I just need something to call you.

Uh, Margaret. Oh, no.

Uh, Mary.

MEW-

Well, then, Mary, come on.

I just gotta bring in some water before we go in.

It'll just take a second.

What was all that howling?

It's wolfstime. Killer wolf out there.

As big as a pony but a lot more bloodthirsty.

It's been stalking the area pretty regular. It kills cattle and...

Hang on. This sticks sometimes. Could you just...

Look. Look at that.

MEW-

Look at the water.

MEW-

MEW-

Mary?

Is he okay? David?

Oh, yeah. He's a little shaken up, but he's headed home. He's fine.

Any word from Kathryn?

Nothing new.

Did you check with Boston again?

She's not there, Mary Margaret.

So we have no idea what happened to her?

All we know is that she found out about you two,

gave you a well-deserved slap and then disappeared.

"Well-deserved"?

Do you really believe that?

No.

I'm just preparing you for what everyone else is gonna think.

You two are gonna look bad until we figure the truth out.

You mean David?

That people are going to think, in order to

be free with me, he...

Some are.

And he's not doing himself any favors.

So if there's anything you could think of

to pin down his whereabouts that night...

He wasn't with me. We really are through.

Sorry, no. Don't need a ride.

It's awfully cold out here.

I'm fine. Really.

I can carry your bag. Where are you headed?
