In Edinburg, Scotland
Begbie has been locked up in the hotel room for a few days. It wasn't the he was sacred but he was too old to go back to prison and specially for a crime he didn't commit. He had the decided to change his appearance. He shaves off his mustache, buys a wig, even a fancy dark suit and a cane. He's staring at the mirror unable to recognize himself now all he needs are fake papers.
He takes one last look at the mirror in the dresser.
Mr. Gold: You're not fooling anyone dearie.
Begbie falls back at the surprised. He's wondering did the mirror just talked to him. He only had few drinks.
Begbie: How?
Mr. Gold: I have a feeling we're going to have to take this slow. Let's start by something easy put your hand through the mirror.
Begbie is confused as to how the man in the mirror is talking to him. He quickly grabs his knife.
Mr. Gold laughs
Mr. Gold: That won't help you dearie, I'm in here and you're out there. I'm not going away until you help me. I have a wife and a son I have to return to hopefully by dinner.
Begbie hasn't said a word. He simply walks into the bathroom and throw a towel over the mirror.
Begbie: I mustn't lose my mind.
He walks back to the bathroom and takes a peak at the bathroom mirror. He takes off the wig and looks at himself only to see Mr. Gold smiling.
Begbie: What do you want?
Mr. Gold: For you to get me out. Look I haven't done this in a while but I'll make you deal if you get me out I'll help you with your problem.
Begbie: What do you know about my problem?
Mr. Gold: Well you're here in a cheap hotel with a bag of money trying to change your appearance.
Begbie has never trust anyone but something about Mr. Gold it's like he's seen himself. Then it hits him this guy could be the pasty who take the blame. He quickly reached into the mirror and Mr. Gold comes out.
Begbie and Mr. Gold look at each other at how identical they look. Mr. Gold can't help but laugh in his mind so there is someone uglier than him. Begbie on the other hand never really considered himself ugly after all the ladies never complain.
Begbie: You are free from the mirror for as fascinating as that tale made sound, now what?
Mr. Gold could only hope that Belle and Gideon were okay. He needed to find a way back to Storybrooke. He wasn't even sure where this place was. He also had to think very carefully on what to tell this man that by the looks of it he appeared to be some type of good for nothing criminal. He couldn't just blur out that he came from magical land. He decides to tell him partial truth.
Mr. Gold: Why don't we start by I introducing each other. I'm Mr. Gold and you are.
Begbie: Call me Begbie. How did you ended up in the mirror? I never heard of traveling that way. Do you do this often.
Mr. Gold thinking of the most logical response that would avoid having to explain magic.
Mr. Gold: You see my mother is scientist; she's not as good as she think she is… something went wrong and I ended here? Which by the way where are we?
Begbie unsure if he believes Mr. Gold.
Begbie: Edinburg, Scotland. Mate, I thought you were Scottish.
Mr. Gold: I was a very long time ago… look I don't have much time, I need to get back to the States.
Begbie: You and me both.
Begbie takes Mr. Gold by surprise and hits him in the head knocking him unconscious. He quickly grabs some rope and ties him to a chair. He begins his work of transforming Mr. Gold into him. He begins cutting Mr. Gold's hair. It is there that he notice how very similar they look they could be twins. He punches Mr. Gold knocking off one of his front tooth.
Begbie to unconscious Mr. Gold.
Begbie: Be thankful you were asleep.
He begins undressing Mr. Gold and putting his clothes on him. Those purple burgundy pants and that gray shirt along with his favorite black jacket. He is surprised that they are the exact same size they are identical. He quickly puts on Mr. Gold's sharp suit fixes the wig he got and take the cane. This should do the trick. Be knew it wouldn't take long for the cops to find him so he unites Mr. Gold who is still unconscious. He's about to make his way out of the fire escape he can hear policemen at the door.
Begbie: SHIT!
All he needs to do is leave undetected and let the cops find his double. Mr. Gold is beginning to wake up his head and mouth are throbbing from whatever Begbie did to him. He can hear policemen outside the door. Although he was a lawyer he didn't want to go through the whole process. If only he could access his magic, all he needs was to create magic but how. Then he remembers the locket around his neck, it was from his shop, it was supposed to be a anniversary present for his Belle but never got to give it to her because she exile him.
Mr. Gold kisses the locket he is unsure as to what will happened to it if he uses it power. He is lost thinking of Belle and Gideon
Mr. Gold: I'm coming home.
He ignores the pain waves his hand and cops are frozen at the door. He waves his hand one more time and he returns himself. Begbie who is frozen yet conscious also returns to himself.
Begbie: SHIT! NO! HOW THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT.
He quickly pulls out his knife ready to fight.
Mr. Gold can't help laugh; he waves his hand one more time and magically Begbie comes face to face.
Begbie had dealt with the scum of the earth but this guy his terrifying. He has never dealt with a man like this one. He's afraid and he knows it shows.
Begbie: What are you going to do to me?
Mr. Gold can't help but smile he has this punk right where he wants him with a single wave of his hand he disappears talking Begbie to the roof.
Mr. Gold angrily.
Mr. Gold: I should kill you for that little stunt you pulled.
Begbie is terrified, he has finally met him match. He hasn't said a word to Mr. Gold but he knows this guy means business. He does the only thing left; he begs for his life.
Begbie: Please…
Mr. Gold can feel the adrenaline rushing; he never let people get away. He should kill this punk after all he was going to let the police take him. He's ready, armed with cane, he doesn't even needs his magic a single blow and he can kill him. He's lost in his anger, but deep inside he can hear his Belle:
I know you'll do the right thing, besides you don't know why he did it. I always said you don't know a person until you know what's in their heart.
He cannot help but smile and think of his beloved Belle. She was right he could be good; he should get to know this guy. He doesn't have the time to get to know the guy so he waves his hand and gets into Begbie's mind. He instantly feels sorry for Begbie; he understands his pain. Mr. Gold feel connected with Begbie not simply in appearance but by pain.
Begbie finally gets the courage to speak.
Begbie: What did you do to me?
Mr. Gold changes his tone his more sympathetic.
Mr. Gold: Look I can't have you blabbing about magic so don't worry you won't remember a thing.
Begbie: I don't understand…
Mr. Gold: You don't have to… just don't screw it up.
He waves his hand and changes the incident so Begbie is free to leave with no memory. Mr. Gold jumps on a plane to Maine. He can only hope to find Storybrooke.
