Robin Hood, Series 2 (2007)

[After Edward has saved Robin's life and has tussled with Birkley, who has a dagger after the latter was threatening Robin with a dagger, Robin is pointing his bow and arrow at Birkley]

Robin:
[Shouting] Leave it, Birkley! You are a man of the cloth, you cannot kill!

Birkley:
And you, Hood, are a man of war who cannot kill!

[Pause]

[Robin fires an arrow straight at Birkley's heart, killing him instantly. He falls to the ground. Will arrives and looks at Birkley, then Robin in shock. Djaq looks in shock at Robin and Much looks in shock at Birkley]

Robin:
Try me.

[Edward turns around and has the dagger in his chest]

Robin:
Edward!

Much:
No!

[Robin and Much rush over to Edward helping him to the ground and kneel next to him]

Robin:
Help him down! Djaq!

[Djaq kneels next to Edward]

Djaq:
Don't remove the knife. I'll prepare my instruments.

[Djaq runs off]

Robin:
John! Get John and Beatrice to safety. Now!

Little John:
[To John of York and Beatrice] Go! Now!

[He runs away with them]

Edward:
Leave me.

Robin:
I will not, sir!

Edward:
I will slow you down.

Robin:
[To Much. Softly] Go. Go.

Much:
Ok.

[Much leaves]

[Pause]

Edward:
You'll need this... [He reaches for the pact and hands it to Robin] [Quietly] pact.

Robin:
You will not give up your life for mine.

Edward:
For England!

[Pause]

Edward:
You know, I've never quite understood my daughter's feelings for you.

Robin:
Well, I probably don't deserve them.

Edward:
No, I think you do. Robin, listen. For Marian to lose us both would kill her.

Robin:
Edward. Edward, that is not going to happen!

Edward:
Give her a message.

[Robin nods]

Edward:
Tell...Tell her...It's good to dream.

[Robin nods]

Robin:
I will.

[Robin takes Edward's hand and Edward takes Robin's hand. Edward smiles and dies]

[Robin starts to cry, but on hearing Gisborne and guards, leaves]

Gisborne:
Who's there?

[Gisborne notices Birkley and then Edward and kneels next to Edward]

Gisborne:
[Softly] Edward. [Whispering] Marian.
