SCENE: Clock Tower. Present. Night. Tamara and Greg Mendell are present, along with Hook and Madeline, at the moment in a sack.
Hook: Actually, I prefer it with the lights on. (Greg and Tamara remove the bag.) We've spent enough time below deck to not be afraid of the dark, so if this is your idea of torture, well you're just gonna have to try a little harder.
Greg: Torture you both? No, we just want to offer you a job.
Madeline: Oh. And then you're gonna let me go? (He laughs) Oh, I'm sorry, we already did that last job. My brother killed Rumplestiltskin. We're sated. Replete. Our life's purpose met.
Tamara: I wish I could have been there, to see you stab the Dark One.
Hook: Well, look who's up to speed.
Tamara: I'm a quick learner.
Madeline: Then you know our work is done!
Greg: Yeah, I don't think so. Take a look. (He and Tamara push the chairs Hook and Madeline is tied to over to the window, and hand them a telescope. Through it, the siblings can clearly see Mr. Gold walking with Lacey).
Hook: No. No!
Tamara: He's alive, Hook.
Greg: He beat you both. Now this guy has some powerful magic here, mate. He's untouchable. You'll never get another chance to take him down.
Madeline: Oh, we will. We will indeed.
Tamara: Not unless we help you.
Hook: How can you help us?
Tamara: We know how to kill magical creatures.
Madeline: And the price?
Greg: I need you to help me find someone. My father. He was taken in this town a long time ago.
Hook: Why the bloody hell do you think we'll be able to help you find your father?
Greg: Because you know the woman who took him-- Regina. Do we have a deal?
SCENE: The Enchanted Forest. Past. Queen Regina and two of her knights, Berkley and Rivers enter a barn.
Berkley: It's empty, Your Majesty,
Evil Queen: Thank you, Berkley. I can see that. Snow White and her brother were hiding here, and now they're gone. Someone must have tipped them off and they ran. Fan out and bring me the villagers! (Scene shifts to the Queen standing in front of the people of the village.) Snow White and her brother have betrayed you. She poisoned her own father—my dear husband, your benevolent King—so she can try to ascend the throne herself. With the help of her brother. She even now stalks the outer villages! Bandits, murderers, and traitors. Information leading to Snow's capture will be richly rewarded. (Silence.) No one? Not one of you wants gold? No? You're telling me they lived here, and not one of you saw them? (Turns to Berkley.)
Berkley: What shall we do now, Your Majesty?
Evil Queen: Kill them all. No mercy. Find me, Snow White and Rafael.
SCENE: Storybrooke Harbor. Present. Night. David Nolan Logan Longbottom and Mary Margaret Blanchard are talking while, unbeknownst to them, a fisherman listens in.
Mary Margaret: If, we're going back to the Enchanted Forest, are we really going to leave Regina behind?
David: She's too dangerous to bring with us. We have to leave her.
