That is not to say that I think Hook, Rumple, Regina and other villains who have killed don't deserve to be redeemed or have a happy ending, but in the end no matter how much good they do, the victims they have killed will always be a stain on their past. There is no way for them to earn forgiveness for it (despite what Hook says). Hook was not referring, to earning the forgiveness of others. He was talking about forgiving himself, for his past misdeeds. He remembers every victim's name, and is burdened by his guilt. He does not really talk about, because he is well aware that there is no going back. No matter how many times Emma called him a hero, Hook still thought of himself as a villain. The real question is, will Hook be able to forgive himself once he remembers that he killed Merlin?
