Robin Hood (TV series)/Recap/S03/E12 Something Worth Fighting for Part One: Difference between revisions

Arriving in Locksley, the outlaws take Isabella's men, including her new [[The Dragon|Dragon]] Blamire, by surprise and save the men, taking them to the forest. Archer arrives in Nottingham and attempts to convince Isabella that they are half-siblings; refusing to believe her mother would do such a thing, she orders him arrested, but he escapes. Back in the forest, Tuck tries to convince Robin that they should train the men to fight.

 

'''Tuck''': Then, my friend, it's time we lit the flame in them again. }}

 

Back at the castle, Isabella opts to destroy Robin by breaking up the outlaws. She summons Kate's mother, Rebecca, to the castle, and offers her safe passage out of Locksley in return for planting half a locket (that was given to Isabella by her mother) on Robin's person, then giving Kate the other half.

 

'''Isabella''': Can’t? I don’t think you understand, you ignorant crone. Every last morsel of food, every animal, every grain of barley within a fifty-mile radius is locked up in my courtyard ready for transportation to the north. Hell is coming, Rebecca. I think you should save your family whilst you still can. }}

 

Archer enters the tunnel and persuades Isabella to let him trap the tunnel in return for payment, as it is clear that Gisborne will soon be leading the outlaws down the tunnel. Isabella has given an order for Blamire to make a proclamation that Allan has been pardoned for services rendered to the Sheriff, which Little John and Tuck hear as they pass through Nottingham. Back at the camp, Robin notices Kate has gone just as John and Tuck return, and John confronts Allan, convinced of his guilt.

 

'''Allan''': None of you? None of you believe me? }}

 

Hurt, he makes to leave, but Robin ties him up, unwilling to take the risk; he promises him that once they have taken the castle, they will return and sort this. Back at the castle, Archer finishes preparing his trap for the tunnel. The outlaws set off for Nottingham; Robin, Much and Guy will take the tunnel, whilst John and Tuck have to stop the convoy of men and supplies for Prince John leaving the town. Unbeknownst to them, though, Allan has managed to escape his bonds. Tuck tries to persuade the villagers to join them in stopping the convoy, with little success.

 

'''Little John''': Defeating the sheriff is our job, Tuck. Even if it is the last thing we ever do. }}

 

Isabella runs to Blamire, begging him to help her, but it becomes apparent that all is not what it seems.

 

'''Blamire''': Goodbye, Sheriff. And good luck. }}

 

Later, in the marketplace, Robin announces that he is charging Isabella with high treason in the name of King Richard, and that the castle now belongs to the people. However, the celebrations are halted when Much brings Robin and the others to the main gate, where a cloth roll containing something has been left. Unrolling it, the outlaws find it is Allan's dead body. At that moment, an army arrives and surrounds Nottingham, which Blamire is riding out to meet. Gisborne orders the gates closed and shouts to man the battlements, just as the leader of the approaching army comes into view...
