Robin Hood · Season 1
Don't ever tie me up!
Well, you didn't listen to your orders!
People were dying!
Marian, you can't be seen with us!
Why not?! Robin, I am with you!
'Cause if the Sheriff finds out or Gisborne then you can never go back to the castle.
I don't want to go back.
Well, 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]
Thank 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]
Robin 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.
[To Djaq] I'm sure I know him.
[Whispering] Much, let it be!
I know that face.
You must be disappointed with er, the wound. Y'know, if you're planning on going back to the Holy Land and kill him.
He's here.
In England!
[Pause]
It's not me, is it?
[Robin laughs, Carter smiles]
By the way, Marian sends a message.
What message?
"I'm not coming back, get over it... and for God's sake, change your clothes once in a while."
[The Sheriff laughs]
Very funny.
She's not coming back, Guy. Move on.
Tell me where you've hidden it
I'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.
Just go and cook something.
Why, because I'm a woman?
No, because I'm hungry!
Why would you help me?
I'm not all bad!
Write a note, just say that you want to be left alone - bit of praying, grieving or whatever.
And all letters from the convent have to be sealed by the Mother Superior.
I'll sort it.
How?
I'm good with nuns.
I think there's a reason you never like looking back. Because you don't want to see what you've done. Because you don't like what you've done.
Much was right, wasn't he? You did meet in the Holy Land.
We didn't meet. He met my brother.
What was his name?
You don't remember? You should.
[They continue fighting and stop]
Thomas.
Thomas?
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.
I remember him. He was a good fighter.
He was a war hero.
Yeah. 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.
I 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.
He cried when he died.
No.
He 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?
Because 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]
[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]
[Softly] Hey. It's alright.
[He kneels next to Carter, ruffles his hair and hugs him]
[Softly] It's alright. It's alright.
[Much and Djaq burst into the barn]
Are you alright?
[Robin nods]
Why is he crying?
He's not crying. He's laughing on the wrong side of his face.
