[The gang, Legrand and his men and Queen Eleanor are trapped underneath Barndale Church by the Sheriff - as him ad his men are outside the door]
DjaqThats the only way out of here.
Oh, here we go again!
[The gang are walking through a field]
There's something about Sherwood.
It's home.
Yeah.
[Much falls down]
Oh!
[The gang laugh]
[To Much] Come on!
[Much stands up]
I know a lot of people who would be very grateful of Queen Eleanor's money.
[He runs ahead]
[Djaq runs up to Little John]
DjaqSo, John... do you think you'll be visiting Aquitaine any time soon?
The Queen Mother fancies you!
Big Bear!
[Little John tries to run away from the gang but they chase after him]
You're jealous!
[Robin jumps and gives John a little kick]
[Robin and Much grab John]
Get off!
[Robin, Much and Will push Little John to the ground. Djaq laughs and Will, Much and Robin stand up. Djaq continues to laugh]
[The gang led by Much are running to the barn in Nettlestone]
Come on! This way! Quick! Girl in distress!
What distress?
[Much opens the barn door and gestures to Robin to enter the barn.
Go!
[Robin enters followed by the rest of the gang. Robin doesn't see a girl in distress]
Where's the girl?
The girl is the pig! [He gestures to a pig roasting on a fire, with George cooking it], the pig is your present! This is a party! [Robin smiles] Happy Birthday!
Yeah!
DjaqHappy Birthday!
[Robin hugs Little John and Djaq]
Well, why here? Why not have it in the forest?
There's gratitude for you. Because then it wouldn't be a surprise!
[He playfully punches Robin in the stomach]
And besides, the people of Nettlestone can join us and you know... say thank you. Speaking of which, where is everyone?
They couldn't make it. And neither can I.
What do you mean they couldn't make it?! It's Robin Hood's birthday!
Sorry.
Sorry for what?
[George quickly opens the barn door, closes it and runs]
George?!
[Robin walks over to the closed barn door]
Oh, Much.
What?
[Robin looks through the gaps in the barn door and sees mercenaries arriving]
[George runs over to the mercenaries and Ellingham throws him a bag of money]
Thank you!
[George runs away]
[Shouting] Happy Birthday, Robin Hood!
Who's that?
That's Ellingham.
[Shouting] The Sheriff sends his best!
The leader of the Sheriff's mercenaries.
Not to mention...his best men!
[The mercenaries cheer]
Much!
[Robin turns to look at Much]
[Holding his arms out. Shouting] Sorry!
That bought us some time. We need to think.
DjaqThere are five of us. And a hundred of them!
Once a few determined Spartans held a pass against a vast Persian army.
Really?
[Robin slightly nods]
Strategy.
And they lived?
No, but... they did well.
Oh.
I hate that story too.
[After scaring the Sheriff's mercenaries with a hogshead full of black powder]
Ha! Ha!
Black powder, Djaq? [Djaq nods] I thought I told you I never wanted to see that again!
Djaq[shrugging] I disobeyed you.
[Robin smiles]
Good! Do you have any more?
DjaqNone.
I have a proposal. If they won't come to us, we'll go to them.
When?
First light.
There's too many of them.
DjaqWe'll die.
It's suicide.
[Robin nods. Much sighs and paces]
It's a good day to die!
Will you shut up! Why does he always say that?! I don't even know what it means!
We'll almost certainly die. But at least we'll die fighting.
Yeah, I'm in.
[Djaq who was looking at Will, looks at Robin]
DjaqMe too.
Yes.
[Robin looks at Much]
[Pause]
And me.
[Robin slighty nods]
Good. Good.
DjaqSo this is a Kalila and Dimna night.
What?
DjaqYou don't have Kalila and Dimna night?
Surprisingly not.
DjaqA Kalila and Dimna night you remember for your whole life. You must only speak the truth. You must ask all your questions, share all your dreams.
So it's just talking?
DjaqYes. But it's real talking. And if you're too boring, someone shouts Kalila and you lose your turn. You start.
Oh, no.
DjaqJust talk. You like talking.
I know I do...but, well, not like this.
DjaqFine. I'll start.
DjaqSo I admire you. All of you. You are good men. Brave... generous... kind... decent men. And I love you. All of you. And I am proud to be amongst you.
Is this what this is, just everyone saying that they love each other?
Djaq[Holding her hand up. Laughing] Wait. And you're filthy, and you really stink. [Everyone laughs] and you have no souls!
We live in the forest.
DjaqI have to be honest!
[Will smiles and looks down]
[Pause]
DjaqI have to be honest. And if I am being honest I have to say that... I do not love all of you in the same way.
It's me, isn't? You love everyone else but you don't love me. Brilliant.
[Djaq looks at Will as she talks]
DjaqThere is one I do love more than the others, [Will looks up at her] The way a bird would fly... two thousand miles through storms [Little John and Much look over to Will] just to be with the one he loves. That is the love I feel. And I am a [Emotionally] fool because it is only now when we're about to die [looks up at Will] that I have the courage to admit it, even to myself. I'm sorry. I should have said earlier.
[Whispering to Little John] Will! I knew it!
[Robin looks at Will then at Djaq]
DjaqYou, Will Scarlett are strong and true, and you fight for what you believe in [Will smiles and looks down, tears in his eyes] and that's why I love you.
[looking up at her again] And I love you!
[Djaq laughs]
I love the way you say what you mean. I love your silly voice.
DjaqSilly voice!?
[Will laughs]
DjaqThat's it, I take it back, all of it. [Robin smiles] I hate you.
And I love the way you fight. Like a man. Ferocious. And the way you'll always, always be a woman.
Ka-lim-na. Boring.
Djaq[Staring in disbelief at Will] Kalila.
Whatever.
[To Djaq] Look, I'm not doing this.
DjaqFine.
Good. Because I don't hate myself and I'm not in love with anyone else. So...
DjaqFine.
Fine. Well there's nothing to say, then.
[Much paces. He notices Robin smiling]
What?
What?
You were smiling.
I was smiling because usually it's a struggle to shut you up.
[Much paces]
You think I talk to much. Well, I know that's what you think. Much talks too much. And eats too much. Worries too much. Well, it's easy for you to say, because if I don't do it, who will? It's alright for you, because you can just breeze through life and be everyone's hero, and not have to worry about the simple things like the fire or the food or the hole in your cape or your [He puts his arms out] birthday! 'Cause good old... dependable, old Much, he'll take care of that. And I tell you something. You take me for granted.
[Robin sniggers]
And you're sniggering at me, now.
Much, I was just...
[Shouting] You shouldn't!
[He walks away from Robin]
And I'm angry!
[Djaq looks at Much, saddened. Will looks at Much, saddened]
[Much turns around]
And just because I love you doesn't mean I can't hate you too. And I hate you. Because in the Holy Land, [He emphasises the following words] there was two of us, and we were a [Shouting] team! And the things we went through and the horrors we saw... Went through them together! And when we came home, we were like brothers. Brothers in arms. And where's that now? Hey?! It's gone! That's where! [Emotionally] You never talk! You just don't. And you made me a free man, and we're meant to be equals. [Much shakes his head] We're not equals. The only thing that's changed is that you still treat me like a servant and you don't treat me like your friend.
[Quietly] That's not true.
[Little John looks at Robin]
[Quietly. To Little John] Is it true?
[Little John looks at Robin]
[Much, Djaq and Will look at Robin]
[Much nods and Robin sighs]
Oh, Kalila.
Are you ready?
[Little John and Much nod]
One... two...
DjaqAllan.
What?
DjaqAllan A Dale.
[Will and Djaq look through the gaps in the barn and see Allan walking up to the barn]
[Allan knocks on the door]
Open up! I'm here on behalf of the Sheriff!
[Gestures to let Allan in] Let him in.
Kill him.
[Quietly] John, calm down.
[Djaq opens the door]
Oh, thank God.
[Much pulls him in and keeps a hold of him]
[Shouting] What do you want?! What do you want?!
[Shouting] Listen! We haven't got time to talk now, alright. I've spun 'em a yarn, but we've got to get out of here before they're onto...
We? [Shouting] We?!
I'm with you. Trust me.
[He turns and looks at Robin. Robin looks at Allan, then look at Much and blinks in an agreeing fashion. Much lets Allan go]
I've been an idiot. I'm sorry. But right now, we've got work to do. The Sheriff and Gisborne are going to the Holy Land.
The Holy Land?
They're on a boat from Portsmouth... They're going to kill the King.
[Robin winces. Djaq and Will look at him in shock and then so do Much and Little John]
Right. We need to get out of here. Now.
What if the King's moved on? What if he isn't in Acre?
Well, then we go to Djaq's uncle's friend.
Bassam.
DjaqI'm going to go and check, okay?
Alright.
[Djaq leaves]
[Much sits down and takes off his shoe]
What does Bassam do, then?
[Much tips his shoe over, getting sand out]
The pigeon handler. Remember Lardner?
Oh, the pigeon that the Sheriff killed with his buzzard.
Ah, that's what you think.
We switched the birds.
[Little John laughs]
[Allan smiles]
Oh, ho, ho. You're joking. Nice one. So you got a message to the King in the end, yeah?
Yeah. Well, no thanks to you.
Look, I've told you a thousand times, I'm sorry, boys, alright? I'm back now, I'm one of the lads, let's just...
Now, hands up, who hasn't betrayed the group?
[Much raises his hand, then Will then Little John]
Oh. This one again. How clever.
Just leave it, Much, eh?
Sorry.
We're here to find the King.
[Djaq returns]
DjaqAnd Marian.
And Marian.
Can I ask you something? Being back here... in the Holy Land... do you feel funny? 'Cause I feel funny. We're the enemy again.
[The camera tracks down to a barred window]
I mean, if they knew we were English...
[Cut to inside the room - Marian is sitting on the bed]
[Much and Robin's voices echo]
[Echoing] If we don't find Marian... [Marian rolls her eyes] Marian. Marian. Marian. Marian.
[Cut to Much and Robin]
If we don't find Marian...
We will find Marian.
Djaq[Whispering] Robin!
[On hearing his name, Marian quickly runs over to the barred window - but her shackles pull her back. As she turns to try to get it off, Robin and Much run over to Djaq. Marian stands on a barrel and looks out the window. She sighs and gets off the barrel]
Get a grip, Marian. Robin's dead.
[Will has helped cage a pigeon at Bassam's house and smiles at Djaq. He then walks with her. Bassam is watching them]
DjaqWhen I was a little girl, I loved these birds. And I thought that when I grew up, I would live here and train them. The closest I'd ever get to flight. Do you understand?
Yeah. I do, actually.
[King Richard has decided to have the gang executed]
Mercy, your majesty! Ut Prosim!
Your majesty, these people are innocent. If you must take a life, take mine. Spare them.
At last. That's the Robin I remember - considering others.
DjaqHe is still the Robin you remember.
He saved your life! Don't you remember that?!
[Pause. Richard walks up to Robin]
I cannot grant your wish. You must all be punished. But you once saved my life and no I have not forgotten that. So I'll not take yours. [Loudly, to everyone] I'll let the desert decide!
[Richard walks away]
[To Robin] The desert? What does that mean? [To Richard, loudly] Decide what?!
[Cut to next scene - the gang are tied by ropes to wooden stands in the middle of the desert]
[To Carter] Come on. We are Robin Hood.
What?
[Everyone gathers in a circle, with Little John in the middle. Much and Marian drink water]
We'll explain later.
No. Everybody say it. [Emphasising the syllables with his hand to Carter] We... are Robin Hood. SAY IT!
We are Robin Hood!
