Robin, please. I'm not Judas.
RobinAnd I'm no Jesus.
[Robin has Allan pinned to the floor and is holding a dagger up to his neck]
Please. Don't kill me. I don't want to die.
[Marian rushes over]
Robin, spare him!
RobinI can't.
[Marian kneels next to Robin]
Please. Please. Do it for me.
RobinI'm doing this for you. To protect you.
[She puts her hand on his cheek]
If you love me, you will let him go.
RobinI do love you. And that's why I can't let him live. Because one day, he'll do something to take you away from me!
I wouldn't.
Please. Don't let his blood taint us.
[Robin lets Allan go, Marian takes the knife and Allan crawls away. As he crawls up to a sack, Marian throws the dagger, which just misses Allan and hits the sack. Allan turns his head to her in shock]
You owe me your life, don't you ever betray me!
[Allan shakes his head]
I won't. [crawls away]
[Pause]
It took you a long time to tell me that.
RobinTell you what?
You know...
[Robin laughs then so does Marian]
RobinI must have been half concussed.
Well you'll be fully concussed if you don't watch out.
[Robin smiles]
[After Edward has saved Robin's life and has tussled with Birkley, who has a dagger after the latter was threatening Robin with a dagger, Robin is pointing his bow and arrow at Birkley]
Robin[Shouting] Leave it, Birkley! You are a man of the cloth, you cannot kill!
And you, Hood, are a man of war who cannot kill!
[Pause]
[Robin fires an arrow straight at Birkley's heart, killing him instantly. He falls to the ground. Will arrives and looks at Birkley, then Robin in shock. Djaq looks in shock at Robin and Much looks in shock at Birkley]
RobinTry me.
[Edward turns around and has the dagger in his chest]
RobinEdward!
No!
[Robin and Much rush over to Edward helping him to the ground and kneel next to him]
RobinHelp him down! Djaq!
[Djaq kneels next to Edward]
Don't remove the knife. I'll prepare my instruments.
[Djaq runs off]
RobinJohn! Get John and Beatrice to safety. Now!
[To John of York and Beatrice] Go! Now!
[He runs away with them]
Leave me.
RobinI will not, sir!
I will slow you down.
Robin[To Much. Softly] Go. Go.
Ok.
[Much leaves]
[Pause]
You'll need this... [He reaches for the pact and hands it to Robin] [Quietly] pact.
RobinYou will not give up your life for mine.
For England!
[Pause]
You know, I've never quite understood my daughter's feelings for you.
RobinWell, I probably don't deserve them.
No, I think you do. Robin, listen. For Marian to lose us both would kill her.
RobinEdward. Edward, that is not going to happen!
Give her a message.
[Robin nods]
Tell...Tell her...It's good to dream.
[Robin nods]
RobinI will.
[Robin takes Edward's hand and Edward takes Robin's hand. Edward smiles and dies]
[Robin starts to cry, but on hearing Gisborne and guards, leaves]
Who's there?
[Gisborne notices Birkley and then Edward and kneels next to Edward]
[Softly] Edward. [Whispering] Marian.
My father died thinking he had a wilful daughter.
RobinNo! He gave me a message. "It's good to dream."
[Robin kisses her hand and hugs her]
[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]
Thank you.
[Robin and Marian step back and Much walks up to John of York and Beatrice holding a toasting fork. He hands it to John]
Toasting fork.
[John of York laughs and laughs while talking]
Thank you.
[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]
Good luck!
[Pause]
RobinYou 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]
Don't ever tie me up!
RobinWell, you didn't listen to your orders!
People were dying!
RobinMarian, you can't be seen with us!
Why not?! Robin, I am with you!
Robin'Cause if the Sheriff finds out or Gisborne then you can never go back to the castle.
I don't want to go back.
RobinWell, 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]
RobinThank you, friend. I owe you my life.
Yes, you do.
[He turns around to face Robin]
But I won't take it yet. Carter.
[Robin walks up to him and shakes his hand]
RobinRobin Hood.
[Much walks to Carter and shakes his hand]
Much. Nice, er, [He mimics throwing a knife] move. Have we met?
No, I...we've never met.
Tell me where you've hidden it
RobinI'll die first.
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]
I thought so.
RobinJust go and cook something.
Why, because I'm a woman?
RobinNo, because I'm hungry!
RobinMuch was right, wasn't he? You did meet in the Holy Land.
We didn't meet. He met my brother.
RobinWhat was his name?
You don't remember? You should.
[They continue fighting and stop]
Thomas.
RobinThomas?
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.
RobinI remember him. He was a good fighter.
He was a war hero.
RobinYeah. 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.
RobinI 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.
RobinHe cried when he died.
No.
RobinHe cried and he said "Tell my family I didn't cry. Tell them I was laughing on the wrong side of my face".
That's what he used to say "laughing on the wrong side of his face". How did you know that?
RobinBecause I held him in my arms as he died.
[Robin has permitted Carter to kill him, if it will help him. Carter is about to stab him]
Robin[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]
Robin[Softly] Hey. It's alright.
[He kneels next to Carter, ruffles his hair and hugs him]
Robin[Softly] It's alright. It's alright.
[Much and Djaq burst into the barn]
Are you alright?
[Robin nods]
Why is he crying?
RobinHe's not crying. He's laughing on the wrong side of his face.
I can't believe we're trusting him. He tried to kill us.
RobinOf 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.
RobinWell, the demons work in different ways, don't they?
[Much sighs]
RobinBut they're still the same demons.
I've got demons. You've never held me like you held him.
RobinMuch.
You haven't.
[Pause]
You never listen to my story.
RobinIt'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.
RobinAlright. Well let's talk.
No. Not if you're doing it to humour me. No.
RobinOh, come on, Much!
Whatever I say you never listen to me anyway.
RobinYou 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.
RobinMuch.
[He glances over to the other outlaws and puts his arms on Much's shoulders and sighs]
RobinOld friend...you have a special place in my heart.
Do I?
RobinWell do I really need to say it?
No. Of course not.
[Robin shakes Much's hands in a brotherly fashion and walks off]
Just once in a while would be nice.
