Drunken Lout (5.14)

This drunken lout is an episodic character on Once Upon a Time. At a local tavern in the Enchanted Forest, he once drunkenly assaulted Milah until Captain Killian Jones came to the rescue.

Before the Curse
Milah is left alone at a local tavern, while her husband goes off to obtain a cure for their dying son. Her time alone is interrupted, however, by a drunken lout who bumps into her, making her spill the drink over herself. The drunken man realizes he did this, and without giving Milah a chance to speak, he grabs a rag to help her clean herself up. However, this turns into additional groping, something Milah pleads to be stopped. A man comes to Milah's aid though, telling the lout to leave her alone. Shoving his opposer, the drunken man questions what he will do otherwise, to which the opposer promptly punches the drunken man in the face, knocking him out. This shocks Milah, and the man who has come to her rescue takes a drink from a tray that a bar wench had been carrying around. Sitting down and giving Milah the drink, he is thanked for his heroics. The man introduces himself as Captain Killian Jones, being at her service.
