After The Sunset, Pt.19

The Enchanted Forest. Past. (Queen Regina, the Doctor, and Jefferson are inside Regina's family residence, standing in front of a fireplace.) Regina: “This... was my mother's.” Doctor: “How sweet, but I'm not interested in heirlooms.” Regina: “Oh, I believe you will be. Listen.” Doctor: “To a fireplace?” Regina: “Just listen.” (Heartbeats slowly become audible.) Jefferson: (The sound becomes louder:) “Where is that coming from?” Regina: “Her vault. (The fireplace disappears and they descend down a set of stone steps to enter a chamber. The wall is filled with glowing, beating hearts, each in its own box:) Take your pick.” Doctor: “These are... all... hearts?” Regina: “My mother was a collector.” Jefferson: “Whose hearts are these?” Regina: “I have no idea. She took so many, caused so much pain. It was impossible to keep track. She was a monster.” (The Doctor approaches the wall of hearts and pulls out one of the boxes.) Doctor: (Opening the box:) “Finally. After all this time. It's perfect.” Storybrooke. Present. Inside The Library. Ruby: “You need to leave. The moon's going to be up soon.” Snow White: “But will the chains hold?” Ruby: “Hopefully.” Snow White: “Then, I'm staying. Think of it as girls' night. What's wrong?” Ruby: “I know you and David wants to believe the best, but I've killed before, and I'll do it again. Everyone in this town should be afraid of me.” Snow White: “Okay, well I'm not.” Ruby: “You should be.” Snow White: “Ruby, you’re my best friend. Of course I’m never going to be afraid of you. I love you.” Ruby: (Sighs:) “I love you, too, and maybe you're right. (Ruby suddenly attaches the manacle to Snow’s wrist:) But Spencer's right, too. I am a monster. And that's why I need to make sure I don't ever hurt anyone again.” Snow White: “No, no, no. Wh-What are you doing?” Ruby: “I can't let you stop me. I need to pay for all I've done.” Snow White: “Ruby come back! Spencer’s a madman, he’ll kill you!” Ruby: “Isn't that what I deserve?” (She leaves.)

The Land Without Magic. Past. Maine. 2009. (Emma and Cleo are at the courthouse, waiting for Emma's records to be found.) Emma: “How long could this take? You take a file out of the drawer, you hand it over. How hard is that? Maybe I can motivate them to speed up.” (Emma Stands and walks to the desk.) Cleo: “Armor.” Emma: “What?” Cleo: “My jacket, the one you like to ridicule. It's my armor.” Emma: “What are you talking about?” Cleo: (Stands beside Emma:) “You're not thinking clearly. You're emotional. It's what keeps getting you in trouble. Can I give you a piece of advice? You’ve got to learn how to protect yourself. Look, whatever we find here, that ain't gonna be the end all be all. Find your armor.” Clerk: (Walks out with Emma's file:) “Miss, I have your file.” Emma: (Takes the file:) “It's too thin. (Opens it and sees the article:) It's the same damn article.” Cleo: (Picks up another sheet of paper:) “There's something on the boy who brought you in. Looks like he ran away and fell out of the system.” Emma: “The inventory of what I came in with.” Cleo: (Pats her back:) “I'm sorry.” Emma: “Something's missing. Can you just take another look?” Clerk: “That's all there is.” Emma: “Just look again.” Clerk: “Miss...” Emma: “Okay, you know what? I can look.” (Emma tries to go behind the counter, but Cleo stops her.) Clerk: “Step back or I'll have to call security.” Emma: (Shouting:) “I can just look through the file!” Cleo: “Emma, It's a dead end.” Emma: “You saw that folder. Pages could fall out and other things-” Cleo: “Come on, you're grasping at straws.” Emma: “Straws are all I have! That's it! That's... straws are it.” Cleo: (Places her hands on Emma's shoulders:) “Calm down. You said you would go quietly if we did this. We gave a day, we did it, now let's go, come on.” Emma: “I'm not giving up.” Cleo: “Maybe you should. But don't do it because we had a deal. Do it for yourself. Go back to Phoenix and start again, looking front ways this time. Once you've paid the price for everything you've done, you can start building a new life.” Emma: “You just want to drag my ass back to Arizona so you can get the money for bringing me in.” Cleo: “Hey, I didn't have to give up a whole damn day to do this for you, did I? I kept my word, now you're gonna keep yours. Hate me all you want, but tomorrow, we are going back to Phoenix. Do you understand?” Emma: “I understand.” Cleo: “Come on, kid. It's Arizona. (Starts walking away:) It's not hell.” The Enchanted Forest. Past. (Belle is several yards away from the Yaoguai.) Belle: (Loudly:) “Over here! (She runs, and the Yaoguai gives chase. Eventually, she leads the Yaoguai into Mulan's village, where she dumps some water onto the Yaoguai, dousing the fire encircling the beast's head. She is about to kill the Yaoguai when it begins to trace something in the dirt with its claw:) You're writing something. ‘Jiu Wo.’ Save me. You need help. (She picks up her pouch of fairy dust from Dreamy:) Let's uh, let's give this a try, shall we?” (Belle pours the fairy dust onto the Yaoguai, and it is engulfed in a purple smoke. When the smoke clears, the Yaoguai has transformed into Prince Phillip.) Prince Phillip: “The curse.. you broke it.” (Belle helps him to his feet.) Belle: “Someone did this to you?” Prince Phillip: “Maleficent. An evil sorceress from my kingdom, determined to do everything in her power to keep me apart from Aurora, my true love. So she exiled me to this land and turned me into a monster. I tried to warn the villagers, but no one understood what I really was. Except you.” Belle: “Well, you're not the first beast I've faced.” Prince Phillip: “I am forever in your debt. Please tell me how I might repay you.” Belle: “My friend's hurt. She needs a doctor. As do you. Help me bring her back to the village.” Prince Philip: “It would be my honor.”

Storybrooke. Present. (On the street, David and Granny are searching for evidence that Ruby has been framed. Granny is using Billy’s shirt to track his scent.) Granny: “This way. (They approach a parked car:) The trunk.” David: (Jimmies the lock and opens the trunk, finding an ax and Ruby's hood:) “The wolf didn't kill Billy.” Granny: “Ruby's hood.” David: (Taking it out of the car:) “So she'd be forced to change back into a wolf. So whoever killed Billy could pin the murder on her.” Granny: “Who would want to hurt my Ruby?” David: “This isn't about Ruby. It's about me. Spencer.” Granny: “King George?” David: “He wanted to make me pay for locking him away. So he did this.” Granny: (A wolf howls in the distance:) “She's out.” David: “We have to get to her before anyone else does.” The Land Without Magic. Past. Maine. 2009. (It's the middle of the night and Emma is watching Cleo to make sure she is really asleep, before putting her glasses on and carefully sneaking out of bed.) Courthouse. (Emma opens the drawer in the courthouse, looking for her file. Just as she goes to open it, she hears a door creak, and grabs a blunt weapon. Hiding behind a wall as footsteps approach, Emma then jumps out and comes face to face with Cleo.) Emma: “Oh, God! Geez. Cleo, you scared the hell out of me.” Cleo: (Grabs the tool from Emma:) “What are you doing?” Emma: “I know we had a deal, but I can't...” Cleo: “Yes, you can, and you will.” Emma: “You want your bail money that bad? Did you call security? (She is slapped across the face:) Ow!” Cleo: “Do you think a security guard is gonna show up and ask to see my license and give me my money?” Emma: “Damn it.” Cleo: “All they're gonna see is two moron criminals on government property asking to get shot.” Emma: “Then why are you here?” Cleo: “Look, I'm sure that your parents had reasons why they gave you up, okay? But you finding out, what good is that gonna do you? They would want you to focus on what you've got now.” Emma: “How do you know what my parents would want?” Cleo: “Because I know things, and sometimes you would do yourself some good listening to me. Emma, look what I'm risking being here. Come on, let's go.” (They go to leave, but police sirens are heard from outside.) Man: “This is the police!” Cleo: “Okay, come on. Damn it.” (Cleo starts running and Emma follows her.) Man: “Come out with your hands over your head!” Cleo: “Stand back.” (Cleo kicks a window open while the police enter the building.) Police Officer: “I'll get the back.” (Cleo continues to smash the glass, and the sirens continue to grow closer. Cleo jumps from the window and Emma follows her, before they take off running.)

The Enchanted Forest. Past. (The Doctor prepares for the procedure inside a medical tent. Queen Regina and Jefferson stand outside waiting. The Doctor exits the tent.) Doctor: “The heart, your majesty. (Regina hands him the box with the heart inside:) Thank you. Now please, wait here. The procedure is one I must perform alone.” (The Doctor re-enters the tent.) Regina: (To Jefferson:) “What's he doing back there? Magic?” Jefferson: “He says he wields power greater than magic.” Regina: “Really? Why won't he let us see?” Jefferson: “In his land, there's much we don't understand, or can't. If he can't achieve what you seek, Rumplestiltskin was right. It can't be done.” (The Doctor's silhouette is seen plunging the heart into Daniel's chest and a bolt of lightning strikes the tent. Soon after, the Doctor exits the tent to update Regina on the outcome of the procedure.) Regina: (Expectantly:) “Well?” Doctor: “I'm sorry. I failed. The heart wasn't strong enough. It couldn't withstand the procedure.” (Regina enters the tent and begins to cry on Daniel's chest.)

The Land Without Magic. Past. Maine. 2009. (Emma and Cleo are running down an alleyway. The sirens can still be heard. Cleo grunts and collapses against a wall. Her hand is covered in blood.) Emma: “Blood. I didn't hear a shot.” Cleo: “It's not a shot.” (Groans and leans against the wall, with a shard of glass stuck in her stomach.) Emma: (Bends down next to her:) “Glass from the window. I'm so sorry. I didn't... (Looks in the direction of the wailing sirens:) An ambulance. You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be fine.” Cleo: “It's not an ambulance. That's the cops. Don't get caught here.” Emma: “They'll be able to help you. And I'll call your family.” Cleo: “I have no family.” Emma: “Your little girl. I saw the picture.” Cleo: “She has no idea who I am.” Emma: “What?” Cleo: “I took that ten years ago from across the street.” Emma: “You gave her up. Just like I was.” Cleo: “You're holding on too tight. Emma, let go. Let go.” (Cleo dies as the sirens stop and the police car doors open. Emma stands up and looks in the direction of where the noise is coming from.) Man: “Over here! We got blood! They went this way!” (Emma exhales sharply before running away.) Storybrooke. Present. (Having tracked Ruby in her wolf form to an alley, David moves closer to Ruby with her hood in his hand.) David: (To the small crowd that has gathered:) “She won't hurt anyone. She's just scared. Ruby? I know you're in there, so listen to me. It was Spencer, not you. Don't let him trick you into thinking you're a monster. (She growls:) All right, all right. Poor... poor choice of words. Please. Ruby. I know you. I know the real you, and I know you can control the wolf. Ruby. (Growls:) Ruby? (Whispering:) Ruby. It's me. David.” (The wolf stops growling and sits. David then throws the hood over Ruby; transforming her back into a human.) Ruby: “You saved me.” David: “No. You saved yourself. I just reminded you of what you already knew. (Pulling out his phone, David makes a call:) Lily, it’s David. I’ve got Ruby, she’s safe. The killer was Spencer. A bloody axe was found in his car.” Lily: “That’s all I need. I’ve got him cornered at the cannery, the coward ran back to the scene of the crime.” David: “All right, wait for me, don’t try and take Spencer on alone.” Lily: “I’ve got this.” (Lily hangs up the phone and heads inside the cannery.)

The Enchanted Forest. Past. (Belle and Prince Phillip are walking through a forest back towards Mulan’s camp.) Belle: “My friend's just over that ridge. (Mulan is reading Belle's book:) There she is.” (Mulan gets up and limps over to Belle and Phillip.) Mulan: “Belle! Oh, you're alive.” Belle: “And I did it. I defeated the Yaoguai. With a little help.” Mulan: (Notices Phillip behind Belle:) “Who are you?” Prince Phillip: “I was the Yaoguai.” (Mulan looks confused and turns to Belle.) Belle: “He was cursed. So I helped him, now he’s going to help you.” Mulan: (To Belle:) “What, you're not coming?” Belle: “I have another beast to face. (Belle gives Mulan her sword back, and Mulan returns Belle's book:) Goodbye.” Mulan: “Goodbye, Belle.” (Belle walks away.) Prince Phillip: “We haven't been properly introduced. My name's Phillip.” (He holds out his hand for Mulan to shake.) Mulan: “Mulan.” (Now alone, Belle walks through the forest, stopping to look over the kingdom.) Belle: “I'm coming back, Rumple.” (She starts walking and hears a voice.) Evil Queen: “Isn't that sweet? (Belle turns around and sees the Evil Queen:) Still fighting for true love. Even to the bitter end.” Belle: “How did you find me?” Evil Queen: “You really should be nicer to your travelling companions. (She turns to the men from the hunting party and her guards:) Right Claude? Take her to the tower.” Belle: (The guards grab her:) “What? No! What are you- what are you doing? (The Evil Queen smiles:) I-I- can save him! Just let me go to him! I-I can break his curse.” Evil Queen: “You've already tried and failed. That monster's beyond saving. I'm sparing you a lifetime of pain and misery.” Belle: (Belle is inside the cage:) “You can't keep us apart forever. I'll fight for him. (The Evil Queen smiles and rides off on her horse:) I'll never stop fighting for him!” Storybrooke. Present. Cannery. (Lily walks through the cannery searching for Spencer.) Lily: (Calling out:) “You think you can hide from me?” Spencer: (Through the darkness:) “I wasn't trying to hide.” Lily: (Continues to move forward, climbing the steps:) “You killed an innocent man.” Spencer: (Still unseen:) “He was a mouse.” Lily: “He was more of a man than you'll ever be. You want to make a deal? It's not going to happen.” Spencer: “I'm not interested in making a deal. I just want to see the look on your face when you realize something.” Lily: “And what's that?” Spencer: (Finally appearing from the shadows:) “That I have the higher ground.” (Grabbing Lily, he shoves her back down the cannery steps, leaving her to tumble violently to the ground.)
