 |
| The Sheriff outlines his latest scheme to kill Robin, but Gisborne expresses reservations. "Stop whining Gisborne. If I'd wanted a wife, I'd have found one with better legs." |
| |
 |
| Gisborne and the Sheriff watch the Sheriff's assassin practising sword-play. He's impressive. |
| |
 |
Carter the assassin kneels to kiss the Sheriff's ring. |
| |
 |
"Respect, Gisborne, I like it. Why don't you ever kiss my ring?" |
| |
 |
The Sheriff tells Gisborne that Marian has sent him a message. |
| |
 |
"What message?" |
| |
 |
| "I'm not coming back, get over it, and for god's sake change your clothes once in a while." |
| |
 |
"Very funny." |
| |
 |
"She ran away, the minute her Dad died..." |
| |
 |
"...Now what does that tell us? It tells me that the crusty one was the only thing keeping her here." |
| |
 |
"No. There was something between us." |
| |
 |
"No. She's not coming back, Guy. Move on." |
| |
 |
| "I tell you what," says the Sheriff brightly, "I'll give you a kiss. Will that make you feel better? In fact, if Hood's dead, I'll give you two kisses. Come along... Gizzy, give us a kissy." |
| |
 |
"Get off me!" |
| |
 |
"Grow up, Gisborne." |
| |
 |
"I want Marian," Gisborne tells Allan. |
| |
 |
"How am I supposed to find her?" asks Allan.
"Ask around..."
|
| |
 |
"...earn your keep!" |
| |
 |
| Allan brings back a letter from Marian, who is supposedly in Ripley Convent. She says she wants to be left alone. But Gisborne smells a rat. "This is not right." |
| |
 |
"Marian cannot take Holy Orders. She has a life to lead." |
| |
 |
"Saddle my horse." |
| |
 |
"I don't really do saddlin'," protests Allan. "Do as you're told!" retorts Gisborne. |
| |
 |
"Where are we goin' then?" asks Allan.
"Ripley Convent."
"Hang on, doesn't she want to be on her own? Grievin' and..." |
| |
 |
"Get my horse!!" |
| |
 |
A body is brought into the castle courtyard. |
| |
 |
"What's this?" asks Gisborne. "Robin Hood," he is told. "Dead?" |
| |
 |
Gisborne decides to make sure... |
| |
 |
...but is interrupted by Marian. |
| |
 |
She wants to speak to him. |
| |
 |
"I received your letter." |
| |
 |
| Marian asks again to be left alone in the convent. "You seriously expect me to believe that you have given yourself to God?" replies Gisborne. |
| |
 |
"Trust me, I haven't given myself to anyone. Not yet" |
| |
 |
| "Good. Because until you do, I will always believe there is a chance for you and me." "I need to to think," she replies. |
| |
 |
"Stop thinking. Come home to me!" |
| |
 |
"You burned my home to the ground," she points out. |
| |
 |
"Marian, if I could take that back..." |
| |
 |
| "...if I could show you a side to me that wants to build a home, not burn it down." |
| |
 |
"I've seen it," says Marian. "Then why do you reject it?" asks Gisborne. |
| |
 |
"Because my father is dead. I need time to grieve." |
| |
 |
"What better way to grieve than to create new life?" |
| |
 |
"Marian!" |
| |
 |
"I thought that I might never see you again. I thought I might never..." |
| |
 |
"What?" "Kiss you." |
| |
 |
But they're interrupted by Allan. The Sheriff needs Gisborne. |
| |
 |
| As Gisborne leaves, Marian spots Will and Much walking past - and realises she must distract Gisborne. |
| |
 |
He is duly distracted... |
| |
 |
Still being distracted... |
| |
 |
"Guy, I have to go. This was a mistake." |
| |
 |
| "Marian, this wasn't a mistake. This is the most perfect thing that has ever happened." |
| |
 |
"I misled you. I'm sorry," she says.
"You're misleading yourself. I know, I've done it. I told myself I didn't need you, that other things would satisfy me - politics, power." |
| |
 |
| Marian insists she must get back before she is is missed. "Back to the convent? Marian, no." |
| |
 |
"I forbid you to go." |
| |
 |
She goes. |
