[shouting] It's over! Robin Hood is finished!
No, you don't mean that.
He died in the Holy Land...with Marian. All I have left is vengeance.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
You are going to pay for what you did.
No, it was you, you forced me to.
You murdered her! She didn't love you, you couldn't have her.
She should have been mine!
[shouting] She was my wife!
Noooo!!!
[They tackle each other and begin fighting]
[After witnessing Gisborne ransacking Locksley]
Every day it gets worse. Injustice, cruelty, corruption...these people suffer and they starve. And you'll abandon them? [Robin walks away] Robin! Where are you going?
I can't help them. I have nothing else to give.
You will believe in yourself again, I know it.
[angry] I struggled, I fought, I gave everything I had! I even gave the life of the woman I love! Why are you doing this?! Why does it matter so much to you!?
Because I have nothing in my life but my God and my country. I have no family, no wife, but I have a full heart, and passion must go somewhere, Robin.
All right, that's enough of the piety. No amount of la-di-da words can save their blackened souls! Fire it up!
Wait! [lights a flare] In the name of God, wait!
What are you doing?!
[points at Gisborne and Vaisey] You and your master, Prince John, have broken not just Man's laws, but the Lord's! And for this, you will be punished!
WHAT?! [draws his sword]
The monk's been on the mushrooms! FIRE!
[Hood is revealed to still be alive]
You see, the sun emerges again, like England's protector - his journey is complete. He appears into the light and he will save you. He has returned. The legend is alive!
JJasper
[sarcastic and angry] Surprise, surprise!
No, it can't be--
[to Gisborne] YOU INCOMPETENT... FOOL!!!
NOOOOOOO! [Robin pins Gisborne and Vaisey to the wall with arrows]
I am Robin Hood, your humble servant! It is for you that I live to fight the evil that chokes this country! No longer shall we live in fear and darkness! We must stand together! Only then will the sun rise on this country, our England ONCE MORE!
[Robin has Gisborne at knife point, about to kill him]
[begging] Do it! End it, please!
[shocked] You want this?!
I live in hell.
Then stay there!
[he cuts Gisborne's cheek]
You pathetic, misery-addled mess. You are teetering on the edge of dispensibility, Gisborne. Make sure you don't fall off.
[bitterly] You know, I've finally come to the conclusion that I don't like you.
[sarcastic] Awww! What's the matter, hm? Was that nasty Robin Hood horrible to our little Guy? Oh, diddums...
[Gisborne angrily grabs the Sheriff and slams him against the table]
[grinning] That's better, Gisborne! You'd better show some spine; you're gonna need it! Hm? Hood gave you life; now you go out and get his right!
[After burying Marian's ring under a tree]
I'll never stop loving you.
[contemptuous] Look at you; your plans are in ruins, the Black Knights are disbanded, and you're having to buy the affections of a Prince who would rather see you dead. Why should I fear you? [walks away]
[furious] Because... [he throws his dagger at Gisborne; it lands in the wood of the door an inch from Gisborne's head] I AM THE SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM!!!
You should have killed me when you had the chance. I'm gonna make you suffer before you die.
Just like you're suffering now, Gisborne? You can kill me a hundred times over, but the pain you're feeling, the hatred, the self-loathing, that's never going to go away! [Gisborne hits him out of rage] You'll never hate me as much as you hate yourself!
[Gisborne unsheathes his sword]
Oh, put it away.
Ah, Prince John's escort. They want their money, Gisborne.
So what do we do?
"We"? [chuckles] Do you think that I'm going to be responsible for your arrogance and your incompetence again? [pulls out Gisborne's sword and points it at him] Hm?
You can't be serious, put it down!
[sternly] No, Gisborne. This time, you pay my dues. [to Prince John's men] Gentlemen, good to see you! Very smart, lovely colours, tight-fitting uniform, excellent! Slight change of plan. There is no patronage money... [shoves Gisborne towards them]
What?!
...but Gisborne has volunteered to go with you, to explain why not to Prince John personally!
No, my lord! Please! This means certain death!
[chuckles] Well, you never know - you might catch Prince John in a good mood! [to the guards] He's all yours!
[being dragged away] I won't forget this! I'll be back for you!
Abbot! Where in hell have you been?
AAbbot
Rome! How dare you summon me to your quarters like a common serf!
My lord, I need you.
AAbbot
And it couldn't wait until tomorrow?
No. It's too late for absolution. They meet on the landing halfway. [grovelling] You are the only one who can help me now.
AAbbot
If you are truly willing to repent for all your sins...
[nodding eagerly] I am!
AAbbot
... then you must make your peace with God, my son, and pray for His forgiveness.
Ah, well, you see, it's not God I'm worried about. It's Prince John.
AAbbot
[smiles] Then you really are in trouble!
He already has Gisborne, and it's anyone's guess what he's doing with him.
AAbbot
Well, knowing the Prince as I do, my advice is this: please him.
[incredulous] ... "Please him"?! Whaddaya think I've been doing all this time?! WEAVING TAPESTRIES?!?! Look, I have to execute Hood within one month, otherwise I am horse-meat!
AAbbot
[annoyed] Well, I really don't see what you expect me do to about Robin Hood. Now, I've had a very long journey; I need to return to my abbey. So, if there's nothing else, I will bid you goodnight-- [starts to leave]
Not so fast, Abbot! You will assist me.
AAbbot
[chuckles] Why on earth would I do that?
[imitates his chuckle] Because... [moves to the table] I know... [pulls away a red cloth to reveal a large book - a forbidden English translation of the Bible] your little SECRET!
AAbbot
[shocked] How—?! where did you get that?!
Oh, when I was looking for you at the abbey, I decided to do a bit of nosing around.
AAbbot
So you think you can blackmail me?!
[nods matter-of-factly] Amazing, hm? How great men, no matter how revered, always have some explosive little nugget hidden away, ready for someone like me to find, hm? And as little nuggets go, [points to the book] this is as explosive as it gets. [tuts] Abbot, even I was shocked. [starts to open the book]
AAbbot
[rushes over angrily] Now you listen to me--!
[slams book closed] YOU LISTEN TO ME!!! You will use all your power and your influence, you will use the full might of the Church to help me finish off Robin Hood once and for all, otherwise it will be your head on the chopping block as well as mine! GOT IT?!?!
[to his guards] I thought I doubled the guard! Or did I just double the incompetence?! YOU ALLOWED HOOD TO ESCAPE AGAIN!!! You are more useless than Gisborne! [kicks a guard in the groin, then knocks him down the steps]
[at the church] My children! I was once lost, like you, wretched, like you; wandering in the wilderness. But it was there, in the desert, crawling on my hands and knees like a dried crab, that I was guided [snaps his fingers] to a cave.
[A white-robed boy brings over an ornate box]
And it was in that cave... [opens box and takes the "hand of St. Luke" - actually an executed thief's hand - out] that I found this - the hand of the divine physician, St. Luke!
[He holds the hand high and parades it in front of the awe-struck crowd]
It was this hand that healed me! Healed me of my pain, guided me on the path to salvation, cleansed me of all my sins! [kisses the hand, pretending to sob] And it was this holy artefact that Robin Hood and his gang of men tried so fragrantly to steal - not once, but TWICE! That is why Robin Hood and his gang attacked the brothers of Kirklees! That is why Hood sent in his thug Tuck to break into the abbey! AND THAT IS WHY ROBIN HOOD MUST BURN AT THE STAKE!!!
[After Robin and his gang steal a wagon full of food, using bees]
[to his badly-stung soldiers] What do you mean, "the wagon's disappeared"?! WAGONS AND HORSES DO NOT JUST VANISH!!!
