Episode 6 - For England...!
|
| |
 |
The Sheriff and his sadistic lieutenant united in evil. |
| |
 |
| But even a sadistic lieutenant can be forgiven a sneer of distaste as a hapless scribe plunges to his death. |
| |
 |
| Gisborne asks Marian to the celebration of the King's birthday, and offers her a choice of dresses. |
| |
 |
| But it's actually a celebration of the signing of a document. "This document brings me closer to real power," says Gisborne. |
| |
 |
"And that in turn benefits you. Could benefit you. In time." |
| |
 |
"You must be the least easily won woman in England."
"Then perhaps nobody will mind if I do not attend." |
| |
 |
"Choose a dress!" |
| |
 |
"I'm not bein' funny, but your guards... useless!" |
| |
 |
"Hood found you out." |
| |
 |
Allan wants a job... |
|
 |
"I've lost everything because I helped you, so you owe me," he says. |
| |
 |
"I owe you nothing. I paid you." |
| |
 |
Guy relents. |
| |
 |
| Gisborne and the Sheriff think they hear someone in the scribe's room, where the Pact is held... |
| |
 |
...but apparently not. |
| |
 |
"I was ungrateful earlier. I'm sorry," says Marian. |
| |
 |
"I was overbearing," replies Guy. |
| |
 |
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Allan apes his new master's dress sense. |
| |
 |
Gisborne and the Sheriff of Winchester understand each other. |
| |
 |
| As his price for signing the Pact, Lord Winchester wants Sussex, some of Surrey - and Marian. Gisborne protests. The Sheriff insists on keeping Surrey. |
| |
 |
Gisborne is ordered to take Marian to Lord Winchester. |
| |
 |
"You're leaving," Gisborne tells Marian. |
| |
 |
"Winchester wants you." |
| |
 |
"Marian, listen to me. You have to run, now! " |
|
 |
"I can't - my father..."
"I will look after your father." |
| |
 |
"If the Sheriff knew I was doing this, my own life would be in danger." |
| |
 |
"Why do you work for him?" |
| |
 |
"I have nobody." |
| |
 |
"I choose power. He is my route to position, standing." |
| |
 |
"He is mad - you know that."
"No, he is single-minded." |
| |
 |
"He does not allow distractions to divert him from his course."
"Distractions? Like a little humanity?" |
|
 |
"Humanity is weakness." |
| |
 |
"You don't believe that." |
| |
 |
"You must leave this place. This money will secure your passage." |
| |
 |
"I've instructed a man on the West Gate to let you out." |
|
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| But as Gisborne leaves Marian's room, the Sheriff is waiting for him. He knows the game is up. |
| |
 |
| "As my lieutenant Gisborne, you sit at the right hand of the father. You will share in the fruits of our labour." |
| |
 |
"You will be a god amongst men..." |
| |
 |
"...as long as I can trust you." |
| |
 |
"Take Lady Marian to Winchester." Gisborne agrees. |
| |
 |
"Marian, I'm sorry." |
| |
 |
And as she is taken prisoner... |
| |
 |
...he walks away. |
| |
 |
Gisborne and the Sheriff - dead? |
| |
 |
No. |
| |
 |
"Marian!" |
| |
 |
Gisborne saves Marian. |
