Telling Hook the truth was something that ran counter to his instincts but if it were Alice, he knew she'd tell him (and threaten him into doing her bidding with her sword). Doing the right thing seemed to work for her. Then again, if he was wrong they'd be all in a hell of a lot of trouble.
"I'll admit it, we're on the run," he said once they were in private. "But the way I look at it, it's like this.

And even if he finds out where we are, he has to stop and consider whether he wants to take on the Evil Queen and Rumplestiltskin. He's insane but not suicidal."
