David: Thank you. I hope Kathryn is somewhere warm, not out in the cold.
Emma: David. I think you need to start worrying about yourself a little bit more here. Your wife is missing, you're in love with another woman. There's this (picks up papers from her desk) unexplained phone call.
David: I know. I know. I just- (pauses) -I can't explain why it says that. I didn't do anything to my wife.
Emma: I'm pretty good at spotting a liar. And honestly, liars have better material. Now, go home.
David: I can go?
Emma: We don't even know if there was a crime yet. So, get some sleep.
David: Thank you. (He places the mug on the table, gets up and leaves the room. As David passes her, Emma speaks up again)
  Emma: And David? Maybe, (David turns around to face Emma) get a lawyer.

Ruby: You can't be serious. A whole year without a roof on your head.
August: I get used to it. Plus I had the motorcycle so, if I didn't like a place after a while…
Granny: Ruby!
Ruby: I've never even been out of Storybrooke. What was your favorite place?
August: Nepal. Best people. They have these prayer temples carved into mountains that are overrun with lemurs.
Ruby: What's a lemur?
Granny: Ruby!
Ruby: Just give ma a sec!
August: They're little animals. Mhm. And they have these eyes that reflect light. So, at night it looks like they glow.(Ruby smiles)
Granny: Ruby! Stop flirting and get over here!(She knocks on the counter, twice. The scene transitions to The Enchanted Forest)

Voice: Who's there? (The man opens the window)
Man: Let me in.
Voice: I'm just a poor, old widow. Spare me!
Voice: Let me in, or I'll…
Voice: Yes?
Man: I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow the- (The woman opens the shutters. It is revealed that Red was the woman behind the shutters.)
Red: You'll huff and puff?
Man: I couldn't think of nothing.
Red: Oh, so you thought that you'd level the house with the power of your breath? (She leans in to kiss him, but doesn't.) Well, a case could be made…
Man: Oh, ho ho ho-
Red: Shh! Granny's in the other room. You know she doesn't like me opening the shutters.
Man: No, she doesn't like me.
Red: That's what I meant.
Man: You got to get out of here.
Red: I know. Anywhere.
Man: Well, a blacksmith's boy can get work all over.
Red: You'd leave everyone you know? You'd do that for me?
Man: I'd do anything for you.
Red: (She chuckles a bit) Peter, watch out. Your air of danger is slipping.
Peter: Come out– just, for a minute.
Red: It's already dark. She'd never let me.
Granny: (From the other room.) Red! Where are you? What are you doing? (Red tries to go to Granny, but Peter holds onto her.)
Red: Let go.
Peter: Pay the price. One kiss.
Granny: Red, get in here! (There is a short pause. Red kisses him quickly and closes the shutters and smiles. Peter leaves. She walks into the other room.)
Red: What's going on? (There are several men with torches outside the room and are talking to Granny.)
Granny: Nothing that concerns you. Just a bunch of fools trying to get themselves killed over a few dead sheep.
Man: Wolf took out a dozen last night.
Red: So, you called me in here to what? Just to keep me in sight?
Man: Good evening, Red. We’re just forming up a hunting party.
Red: You're hunting the wolf? Can I go with them, please? I'll be safe in a big group.
Granny: Don't be ludicrous. You are staying inside and you're keeping that hood on. You know red repels wolves.
Red: They're not wearing red.
Granny: They're damn fools, too. There's only two more nights left in Wolfstime– let it take a few sheep. Now, go home. (Granny shuts the door in their faces.)
Red: I hope they kill the wolf. Then we can have lives again.
Granny: You just want to roam around the woods with that wastrel– Peter.
Red: He's not a wastrel. He works hard. He has plans.
Granny: Oh, I am sure he does. Now, come on. You know what to do. (Granny and Red barricade and lock the doors and windows.) Now, go to sleep, girl.
Red: Yes, Granny.
Granny: I hope I don't see that boy mooning around here tomorrow. And wear the hood.
Red: Yes, Granny. (Red goes back to her room, while Granny sits on her rocking chair, facing the door with a crossbow in her hands.)

Scene: Present. Storybrooke. Granny's Diner. Ruby finally goes to meet Granny at the counter.

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

Granny: I want you to start working Saturday nights.

Ruby: Come on, we have an agreement about Saturday night.

Granny: I want to start training you to do the books and the reorders. Business is booming lately, and with more money comes more paperwork.

Ruby: Yeah, none of that sounds good.

Granny: It's got to be done.

Ruby: Is this punishment for talking to that guy?

Granny: 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.

Ruby: And you dress like Norman Bates when he dresses like Norman Bates' mother.

Granny: Ruby, you're a grown woman, you need to stop acting like some kid.

Ruby: 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!

Granny: Well, as long as you work here, you are going to listen to me.

Ruby: I didn't ask to work here.

Granny: Well, then what's keeping ya?

Ruby: Nothing! I quit! (Ruby storms out of the diner.)

Scene: Present. The Enchanted Forest. Red walks out of her room and finds Granny still guarding the front door.

Red: Did you get any sleep last night?

Granny: I'll sleep with the trolls in the afterlife. I'll get the shutters, you go check if that wolf left the chickens alone.

Red: Yes, Granny.

Granny: Wear the hood!

Outside of Granny and Red's cottage. Red is in the chicken coop, collecting the eggs. When she goes to leave, she hears a noise coming from a nearby corner. Holding two eggs, Snow White shows herself.

Snow White: I'm sorry. I can go,

Red: Are you... stealing our eggs?

Snow White: No... not a lot.

Red: Hey, hey, it's... it's all right.

Snow White: Thank you. It's just that, um, last night... there was something out there. There was howling... and I heard it. And it was so cold, so...

Red: Hey. Come on, come with me. Everyone calls me Red.

Snow White: I'm Sn-Frosty.

Red: (amused) Frosty? Really?

Snow White: No. It's just that someone is looking for me, so...

Red: You don't know or trust me yet. Hey, I-I get it, I just need something to call you.

Snow White: Uh, Margaret. Oh, no, uh, Mary.

Red: Mary. Well then, Mary, come on. (Snow White follows Red out of the chicken coop and into the forest. They head towards a well.) I just got to bring in some water before we go in. It'll just take a second.

Snow White: What was all that howling?

Red: It's Wolfstime. Killer wolf out there. As big as a pony but a lot more blood thirsty. It's been stalking the forest pretty regular. It kills cattle and... hold on. (Red grabs the rope of the bucket in the well) It sticks sometimes. Could you just...?

(Snow White helps Red lift the bucket. When Snow White turns around, she seems shocked by what she sees.)

Red: Look, look at that, Mary look at the water. (The water in the bucket is red.) Mary. Mary. Mary?

(Red turns around and sees what Snow White is looking at. There are several bloody bodies in the clearing behind them.

Scene: Present. Storybrooke. Mary Margaret runs to catch up to Emma in the street. Then then two walk together.

Mary Margaret: Is he ok? David?

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

Mary Margaret: Any word from Kathryn?

Emma: Nothing new.

Mary Margaret: Did you check with Boston again?

Emma: She's not there, Mary Margaret.

Mary Margaret: So, we have no idea what happened to her?

Emma: All we know is that she found out about you, gave you a well-deserved slap, and then disappeared.

Mary Margaret: Well-deserved? So you really believe that?

Emma: No. I just preparing you for what everyone else is going to think. You two are going to look bad until we figure the truth out.

Mary Margaret: You mean, David? Th-that people are going to think in order to... be free with me...

Emma: Some are, and he's not doing himself any favors. So if there's anything you could think of to pin his whereabouts that night—

Mary Margaret: He wasn't with me. We really are through

(The two come across a bus stop where Ruby is sitting, and Dr. Whale, who is talking to her.)

Ruby: Sorry, no, I don't need a ride.

Whale: It's awfully cold out here.

Ruby: Im fine, really.

Whale: I can carry your bag. Where are you headed?

Mary Margaret: Dr. Whale?

Whale: Mary Margaret, Emma. Hello there.

Mary Margaret: Hey.

Whale: I was just having a talk wit Ruby here. But I should um...

Emma: Yeah. Yeah you should.

Whale: Yeah... (he leaves)

Mary Margaret: Was he bothering you?

Ruby: The day I can't handle a leech is the day I leave town... which this is, I guess.

Emma: You're leaving?

Ruby: I had a fight with Granny. Quit my job.

Mary Margaret: You quit? Where you going?

Ruby: I don't know. Away.

Emma: Yeah, well, buses out of town don't really happen. And you might want a destination first.

Mary Margaret: Hey, if you need a place to figure things out, you could always come home with us.

Emma: Uh, yeah. Yeah. Just for a little while.

Mary Margaret: Come on.
