You killed him. You ordered him into that village. [He picks up his sword] He called for help, but none came. You let him die.
I remember him. He was a good fighter.
Yeah. But he stopped listening. Thought he was invincible. We said it was dangerous, he wouldn't listen. He led the charge into that village. We tried to save him. I tried.
[Carter is unwilling to believe the truth about his brother]
No. I was there when they brought his body back. The stretch bearers told me everything.
I told them to make up the story. So that his family would remember him as a war hero and not a fool who got himself killed.
[Robin has permitted Carter to kill him, if it will help him. Carter is about to stab him]
[Quietly] He was a hero. Just not on that day.
[Carter drops his sword and falls to the ground]
What am I doing here? What have I done?
[Pause]
Help me. My brother. I loved him so much.
[He begins to cry]
[Softly] Hey. It's alright.
[He kneels next to Carter, ruffles his hair and hugs him]
[Softly] It's alright. It's alright.
[Much and Djaq burst into the barn]
[Robin nods]
He's not crying. He's laughing on the wrong side of his face.
Thomas was my hero. Whatever he did, I had to do too. And when he joined the Knights Templar...I knew I had to follow. I had only just joined when...when he died.
Thomas. You look like him. That's why I recognized you.
I was determined to carry on for him. To be as good as him. To get to the very top. I joined the King's private guard.
[Robin winks then smiles at Much]
I can't believe we're trusting him. He tried to kill us.
Of all of us, you and I know what war can do to a man.
I've been to war, but I didn't come back a mad killer.
Well, the demons work in different ways, don't they?
[Much sighs]
But they're still the same demons.
I've got demons. You've never held me like you held him.
[Pause]
You never listen to my story.
It's because I was there with you. It's my story too.
Yeah, I know. It's just we never talked about it. We never talk.
Alright. Well let's talk.
No. Not if you're doing it to humour me. No.
Whatever I say you never listen to me anyway.
You know that's not true.
[Much and then Robin stop walking]
[Much gestures to Carter with the hilt of his sword]
I told you I recognised Carter from the Crusades. You didn't believe me. You'd believe Marian. You spend time with her.
[He glances over to the other outlaws and puts his arms on Much's shoulders and sighs]
Old friend...you have a special place in my heart.
Well do I really need to say it?
[Robin shakes Much's hands in a brotherly fashion and walks off]
Just once in a while would be nice.
GGuy
Marian, do you really expect me to believe that you have given yourself to God?
I assure you I haven't given myself to anybody -- yet.
GGuy
Good. Because until you do, I will always believe that there is a chance for you and me.
GGuy
Stop thinking. Come home to me!
You burned my home to the ground!
GGuy
If I could take that back -- if I could show you the side of me that wants to build a home, not burn it down...
GGuy
Then why do you reject it?! I thought I might never see you again.
You could have got us all killed.
I'm sorry. I'm not used to taking orders, but I can learn. I'd like to be a part of your gang.
And I'm not used to having you in the forest but...I'll learn.
[They walk down to Carter who is astride a horse]
[Carter waves back at Robin and looks at Will who nods at him]
[Carter leaves]
[Robin has folded his arms and Marian tries to hold his hand. Robin notices this and releases his other hand and holds her hand]
[Robin laughs and Marian smiles]
[As Carter is about to turn a corner, he stops and waves goodbye to the gang. Will, Much, Djaq and Little John wave back and Robin and Marian smile]
MMcClellan
It's for Robin of Locksley and his eyes only!
Just give it to us or we'll take it from you.
[Arrowshot is heard and an arrow comes through a guard's chest, he falls over revealing Robin standing behind him.]
Don't you know it's rude to read other people's mail?
