You're only just now that interested in me? I-- I mean, I guess I'm kind of flattered, because at least this means I'm not there, but..

Don't get any ideas. He let go. I think that's a pretty good indication that he doesn't care. If anything, I'd.. kind of.. like to meet Emma and Henry. You said they're important to me later, right? So.

[Dammit.]

They would have found you anyway. Or do you really think you could have evaded them all on your own?

[baes]

And that makes it okay to you?! I would've been caught, so you might as well just-- just gift-wrap me and hand me to them?

[ he presses his lips thin to try to keep his voice even. ] You know, I.. really thought you were trying for a minute there. But that was stupid. I mean, if my own father wasn't willing to fight for me, what can I really expect from a pirate?

[Of course it's not okay. But Hook has a mission, and he's done a lot of other not-okay things. He'll do more in the future. He was only ever fooling himself into thinking he could have found some semblance of happiness again. He lost all of that when Milah died.

But he still wants to protest that he did try. He would have changed.

But what's the point? He chose his path. Revenge over the boy.]

It's as you said, Bae. I'm only in it for myself. And killing your father.

[baes]

Why?

[ he scrubs a hand over his eyes, taking a shuddering breath, his other hand curling into a fist. ]

Did you-- Did you even really love my mother?

[unhand]

More than anything! [It comes out vehemently. He's not sure of much, but he knows he loved Milah.] And he killed her.
