I can explain. There was this woman, a mother. She was giving birth to this newborn babe, right.
We were going to take the haul. Gisborne's money. We were going to take it to Scarborough.
Yeah, but we're back now. Saved your bacon actually.
[Little John and Much are shocked. Everyone looks sombre]
Marian. Gisborne stabbed her last night and she's-
RobinShe's dead. Marian's dead.
[He walks back to the cave]
[In the cave]
Robin
We must get her to Knighton Hall...to her father. John...John, I need you to...Djaq, prepare her body. Will...I need you to make...I need you to make a coffin.
Shh! In good time. First...we say goodbye.
[tears roll down his cheeks] She was a good woman. Kind and considerate.
[steps forward] "Good"? Oh, she was... Yeah, she was...
[steps forward] She was alright. Yeah.
Robin
Her we loved. Her I loved. I loved her and I never told her.
[Allan notices that Marian is breathing and walks up to take a look]
I'm not being funny, right, she's breathing.
[Much finds Robin sitting atop a hill overlooking Locksley, and walks up to him]
Robin
It is my village.
[Much sits next to him]
Remember the times when we used to sit up here? Sit up here and say there was no finer place in England.
Robin
Gisborne is stealing my life.
And you must let him. You heard Edward. The King is in danger. What is Locksley, if England can't be saved?
Robin
At this moment I care more about Locksley than England.
It's not Locksley, is it? It's Marian. We must let her go. I say "we", I mean you.
Robin
There must be a way.
Robin, the King is coming back! And if we can stop the Sheriff from messing things up, then England will be right again.
Robin
Will it?
Yes! The Sheriff will be out, you'll be in. We're talking days, surely. I mean...you'll have your lands back! You'll be in Locksley and I'll be in Bonchurch. I mean, it's not a huge estate but it's big enough. A man could easily get lost in it. Easily.
[Robin laughs]
Robin
You know something? If you want to get lost, why don't you start practising now?
You don't mean that. You know a smaller man would be offended. A smaller man would be wounded.
Robin
You see there is no smaller man. You are the smaller man, Much. All you care about is the roof over your head, the food in your belly. You speak every facile thought that comes into your head. You're like a pox on my skin and I keep scratching, but you never go away.
[Pause. Much is upset]
[Much pushes Robin over]
[He gets up and walks away]
My father! I must go to Nottingham!
Your father will be safe; I have made provisions for him. You see, my influence, it benefits you. As my father-in-law he is protected. As my father-in-law.
PPriest
You must have legal grounds to object or remain silent!
This man is a traitor and a liar! Is that legal? AND HER HEART BELONGS TO ANOTHER! [Pause] Let her tell you that. Marian, my lady, tell them.
Yes, Marian. Tell them. Remember your father.
It is not true. I am sorry. I know you mean well, but my heart belongs here.
[to the priest] Get on with it.
WHAT?! I-I don't understand!
This is surely some mistake!
[The guards drag Much away]
[places the ring on Marian's finger] Wise decision. In time you will thank me.
[Much's scream is heard as he is thrown into the lake]
[Marian removes the wedding ring from her left hand and place it on her right]
PPriest
No, the left hand. The ring must go on the left hand.
No, no, the right is better.
[She removes the front of her veil, punches Gisborne and runs out of the church]
[Robin rides in on his horse]
Robin
Do you take this man and this horse as your route out of here?
[Robin races over to Marian. Much gets out of the lake]
Master! It's not the king. He's an imposter.
Robin
A trap. I knew it. Who's there?
Robin, my father! He leads the rebellion.
[Robin helps Marian onto his horse, and they race off to Nottingham, as they do, Marian takes off her veil and throws it away. Much gets on his horse and races off with them]
[Arriving at the gate to the castle]
We can't be seen together.
We'd never get in anyway.
Robin
We'll try the west.
[Marian gets off the horse and walks to the east gate. Robin and Much race off to the west gate. Robin races back]
Robin
Marian!
[Marian runs back and they kiss. Robin races to the west gate and Marian smiles and makes her way to the east gate]
[Robin knocks out a guard by hitting him with his bow and gestures to the exit]
Robin
[to the gang] Shall we?
[the gang run up the stairs]
Thought we were out of a job.
Robin
It's good to be back.
Robin
I think it's fair to say that an audience with the king has been suspended! [Allan laughs as the Sheriff, dangling from the ceiling, screams] Come on, lads. Let's go home.
[He winks at Marian, before leaving with the gang]
COME BACK! GET ME DOWN FROM HERE, YOU BLITHERING OAFS!
[The gang are walking away from the castle, happy, looking at each other, smiling. Then, they jump in glee and shout "Yeah!"]
I have a feeling we're not to welcome in the corridors of power at the moment.
Robin
Good. Come and join my gang.
[Robin and Marian kiss]
Robin
Listen.
Robin
That kiss spoke volumes.
Robin
It said, "Marian wants to come and join your gang."
Really? That's not what I heard. What I heard was a little voice saying, "Abandon your home, abandon your father, to take up arms with a man who thinks that resistance is about showing off with a bow."
Robin
That's not fair!
To do what? To wait for a king, who lets face it, may or may not make it home.
[Robin laughs]
Robin
So you have been thinking about it then.
[Marian smiles]
Yeah, and she's probably having cakes and ale with the Sheriff.
You just don't get it, do you?
No, I don't get anything. That's what I'm saying! You know, we risk our lives to get money, then we give all of it away, what's that about?!
No, I'm not being funny, we should get something. If we don't get anything, we'll get weak, get demoralised. Then how are we gonna help the poor?
No, but I might get weak. Anyway it doesn`t matter to you.
[Robin laughs]
Very funny. Funny. You know, why don't you just...just...!
Why don't you just jigger off!
"Jigger off"? You what?! What does that mean? Jigger?
[Allan walks past Much and leaves]
Wha-? Where are you going?! Master!
Robin
Just leave him. He needs to cool off.
