S1 E15Unfinished Business
[Robin has stated that they are going to Nottingham to rescue Tom and his men]
Master, surely, why are we...?
For family! For Allan's brother. We do not let the Sheriff hang our family. No matter how unreliable they may be.
Robin...god bless you, my friends.
Don't mention it, my friend.
Robin will save us! He'll be here!
Oh no, he won't.
We have a problem.
We have many problems. Most of them guard-shaped.
[Robin Hood and his men prepare to rescue Allan-A-Dale's brother, Tom and his men from a hanging as the Sheriff addresses the crowd]
All those eager faces. You're all expecting Robin Hood to turn up, aren't you? Hmm? Do a few tricks with his bow and arrow?
[He chuckles]
Well, this is no time for schoolboy tricks. This is justice. We have laws. Robin Hood has no respect for the law. Robin Hood flouts the law. He would have us all be criminals, murdering and stealing. And yet still, you wait there, expecting him to come and save one of his own. Yes, of course you do, which is why... I have brought the hanging forward by one hour. Look up there!
[Guards reveal hanging bodies on the battlements. Allan is horrified.]
You're too late, Robin Hood! [Allan tries to run to the Sheriff, but Djaq stops him] Your men are already dead! Oh, I wish you could have seen the look on their faces just before they realised that you weren't coming to rescue them. Oh, it was very moving. First there was disappointment, tinged with confusion, soon to be replaced by anger, and then tears, just before they realised that it was the final, fatal drop - it was very moving, it was very touching.
[He claps]
Yes, I wish you could have seen that, Hood! Well, thank you very much.
[To crowd]
Oh, will one of you tell Robin Hood, if you do see him? Thank you. Eager, smiling faces. Good.
[He whistles]
All in a day's work. Ha-ha. Sheriff coming through!
[To a man] You have come for the belongings of the hanged man. Tom A Dale. You are his cousin. Bring them here quickly.
[The man nods and runs off. Allan cries, Djaq consoles him]
[Later, the man returns with a bag of Tom's possessions and leaves. Will arrives, upon Robin's request]
Robin is looking for you.
[He kneels next to Allan]
I'm sorry.
[Allan nods]
Give us a moment.
[She nods and Will leaves]
I had a brother. A twin. He was killed in your Crusades. I became him. His name was Djaq. He still...lives here. Inside me. Like your brother lives inside you.
That's what I worry about.
Don't you want to look?
At what? A bunch of rags...not much to show for a life.
[He reaches inside and finds the necklace that Guy gave to Marian. He lifts it up, looks at Djaq, who looks at Will]
The truth? The truth is, this country is being choked to death. The truth is, honest people are being forced to lie and cheat and steal.
Marry me. It is the only way. As Lady Gisborne, I could protect you. What do you say?
You leave me no time to think. A moment ago you were going to hang me and now you want to marry me.
Is it so difficult to prove your loyalty?
I am loyal, but...
But what? I know you were once betrothed to Robin Hood.
I was a girl then.
Would you still hesitate if he were asking the question?
[Pause]
I would never marry him. I despise Robin Hood.
GGisbourne
Really? So what about me? Will you...marry...me?
Yes. I will marry you. I will marry you the day King Richard returns to England. [Gisborne leans in but Marian turns her head.] Shall we go downstairs and tell my father the good news?
GGisbourne
Yes. I have an apology to make. [Walks away.]
[Turns and closes the shutters.] [To Robin, softly] Sorry.
I love a wedding. And this is one of the best cakes I have ever tasted.
[After Robin has awoken from his nightmare about the Saracen attack in Acre]
Acre?
[Robin sighs and nods]
Yes.
It's his birthday today. The king.
[About the Sheriff celebrating the king's birthday in Locksley Manor] The Sheriff and his cronies. And their sycoph- sycophantic... It's galling. It's more than galling
[after Robin decides on a risky plan] There is something wrong with you.
[grinning] Mmm-hmm.
I'm serious.
[Much smiles]
[The gang except Djaq interrupt Robin's attempt to kill Gisborne]
No! Killing we do not do.
He's right. At least that's what you taught us.
We do not take part in bloodshed...unless absolutely necessary.
[Allan shrugs in agreement]
[Robin yields, but punches Gisborne, knocking him out]
That was necessary.
[Little John nods in agreement]
Robin!
[He knocks Robin out with his staff]
Sorry.
[Robin wakes up tied to a tree after John has knocked him out after Robin tried to kill Gisborne. Much is guarding him. Much smiles]
Sorry. This is difficult.
Untie me.
That's...that's the difficult bit. Now, John said...Little John said. I think we should wait until they get back. Do you want some water?
Much! Untie me. Now!
I knew this would happen.
That man betrayed England. The slaughter in the Holy Land continues because of him. The others would not understand.
Then you must make them understand.
Exactly. I need to talk to him. And I cannot do that tied to a tree. Just untie me.
You promise me? Because earlier...earlier you were not yourself. You were...I'm doing it!
[He goes over to untie Robin]
[as he's untying him] Now, you've had an upset. You should sit down and have a nice, hot...
[Robin runs over to Gisborne]
Robin!
