[John of York and Beatrice are astride a white horse. Little John is waiting to pull the horse away]
[John of York shakes Robin's hand]
[Robin and Marian step back and Much walks up to John of York and Beatrice holding a toasting fork. He hands it to John]
[John of York laughs and laughs while talking]
[Little John leads on the horse then lets it go and steps to the side as John of York and Beatrice leave. Little John waves goodbye. As they leave, Djaq and Will who are holding bowls filled with flower petals, shower them in the petals as they go. Robin, Much and Marian clap as John and Beatrice leave]
[Pause]
You did disarm the trap didn't you, Will?
[A thud is heard and then the ring from the gong]
[Pause]
[Will looks at Robin, then after a pause drops the bowl of flowers, quickly pats Robin and runs off to help John of York and Beatrice. Robin, Little John, Much, Marian and Djaq run after him]
Stop whining, Gisborne. If I wanted a wife, I'd have found one with better legs!
Do you know what you've got to do?
Retrieve The Great Pact of Nottingham and kill Robin Hood. Believe me, my Lord, nothing would give me greater pleasure. Robin Hood is as good as dead.
[Carter arrives at the fight in Clun on horseback and throws a throwing knife at a guard. Much sees this]
[Robin fights]
[Robin races up near the gallows fighting guards. Carter throws another throwing knife at a guard. He watches Robin fight. Robin continues to fight and Carter runs up to him, noticing a guard about to attack]
[Robin fights the guard and Carter runs up to him. As Robin knocks out the guard, he notices Carter has picked up his bow and is aiming it at a noose. Long pause as Robin and Much watch Carter aiming. Carter fires the arrow which hits the noose, snapping it and freeing a villager]
[Much, Will and Djaq are now gathered behind Carter and Robin]
[Pause]
[Carter hands Robin his bow back]
[Carter nods to Robin and Robin laughs. Carter turns to Much, Will and Djaq and Will nods at him]
Well, you didn't listen to your orders!
Marian, you can't be seen with us!
Why not?! Robin, I am with you!
'Cause if the Sheriff finds out or Gisborne then you can never go back to the castle.
Well, I'm glad. But you're not ready to make that decision.
[Carter facing away, has cut his arm, allowing blood to drip down his hand. The gang arrive]
Thank you, friend. I owe you my life.
[He turns around to face Robin]
But I won't take it yet. Carter.
[Robin walks up to him and shakes his hand]
[Much walks to Carter and shakes his hand]
Much. Nice, er, [He mimics throwing a knife] move. Have we met?
[To Djaq] I'm sure I know him.
[Whispering] Much, let it be!
You must be disappointed with er, the wound. Y'know, if you're planning on going back to the Holy Land and kill him.
[Pause]
[Robin laughs, Carter smiles]
By the way, Marian sends a message.
"I'm not coming back, get over it... and for God's sake, change your clothes once in a while."
[The Sheriff laughs]
She's not coming back, Guy. Move on.
Tell me where you've hidden it
No, your friends will die, [He glances at Much and Marian, who are tied up together.] one by one, til you tell me where it is.
[Robin glances back at Much and Marian]
See? That little look back. It revealed your weakness. Never look back, my friend. Now I know I've won. So...who should we start with? Your little sidekick from the Holy Land...or do you have a soft spot for the girl?
[Robin aims his bow and arrow at Carter]
Just go and cook something.
Why, because I'm a woman?
Write a note, just say that you want to be left alone - bit of praying, grieving or whatever.
And all letters from the convent have to be sealed by the Mother Superior.
I think there's a reason you never like looking back. Because you don't want to see what you've done. Because you don't like what you've done.
Much was right, wasn't he? You did meet in the Holy Land.
We didn't meet. He met my brother.
You don't remember? You should.
[They continue fighting and stop]
