Belle, Mr. Gold and others in “Unfinished Business”

[Mr. Gold enters the Underworld version of his shop to see a thread wheel spinning rapidly. He walks further into the shop and sees the chipped cup and its matching saucer on a table. Gold flashbacks to when he told Belle he was going to the Underworld.]

The Underworld?

I'll only be gone for a day. Just long enough to retrieve Hook.

I– I don't understand. Why you?

Because, Belle, I'm the only who's been there. Plus, my blood can summon the ferry.

[Mr. Gold and Belle kiss.]

Just come back to me.

I always do.

[The flashback ends. Gold is holding the chipped cup in his hands. He puts it back down on the table, then notices his childhood doll on a table. He then makes his way behind the counter, where he approaches the painting attached to the wall behind the counter and pulls it open, revealing a safe hidden behind the painting. Gold punches in the combination and opens the door, but finds nothing in the safe.]

[Appears behind Gold] Looking for something?

[Turns to face Pan] Peter Pan. I certainly wasn't looking for you.

Oh, come on, son, don't be like that. Aren't you glad to see your dear old father?

Well, just because you, uh, sired me– that doesn't make you my father. [Steps out from behind the counter, then stops in front of his father] Step aside.

[Moves aside] Keep looking for as long as you like. But down here, this is my shop– and you won't find anything unless I want you to.

[Mr. Gold continues looking around.]

Be careful with your threats.

Or what? You'll kill me again? Maybe it's time to put the past behind us. This is what you're looking for, right?

[Mr. Gold turns around and sees Pan holding a potion in his hand. Pan puts it down on the table next to the straw doll.]

Go on. Take it.

How generous. How many strings are attached?

No strings. Rumple, I meant what I said before I died. I– I do want to start over.

Never gonna happen. I sent you here for a reason.

I miss the world above, the tastes, the smells.

Sorry. You can't go back.

Not unless I trade places with a living soul. And those people you came down with, they are not your friends, and they are living– for now. Maybe one of them doesn't make the trip back– but your dear old dad does.

Not interested.

Not yet. But– [Picks up the potion] –this one's on the house for today. [Holds out the potion for his son to take] A gesture of goodwill– from a father to his son.

[Gold looks at the potion, then looks at his father.]
