Robin Hood (1984–1986): Season 2, Episode 4 - The Enchantment - full transcript

By the air which I breathe

by the breath which is within me,

by the earth which I touch

I conjure you.

And by the names of the spirits
who are princes residing in you,

I conjure you
that you send down to obsess,

torment, and harass the body,

spirit, soul

and five senses of he whom I desire.

And that he shall have no friendship
for anyone in this world other

than I, Lilith, your servant.



So shall he be obsessed tormented
and look on no one nor find no comfort

nor love with anyone...

...but with me.

I conjure you to accomplish this my will,

and I, Lilith, do promise
to satisfy you duly!

By Hermes the thrice great,

by the Shield of Solomon...

and by the power of the Lords of Darkness...

Creature of Earth...

...I name thee Herne's Son!

Robin Hood

Now...

You are he!

- John!



Come on...

Much...

- John!
- What?

- John!
- What do want?

You reckon you're as strong
as any of us, don't you?

As strong?
I'm a sight stronger.

- Right then. Here's your chance to prove it.
- I don't have to prove it.

Look - it's only a game.
You sit there, Scarlet...

Now you stick these in your mouths

... and hit each other on the head with them.
You keep going till one of you's had enough.

- It's daft!
- Come on, John...

Oh, all right then.....

- Smooth or rough?
- Rough.

Smooth.

You have first, Will.

One...two...three...

John -
Felt that one didn't you?

Just you wait!
Just wait!

Had enough?

Enough.
I haven't started yet!

So must it be!

Come to me...

Come...to me...

What's wrong?

- What is with you!
- Robin?

What's up with him?

I don't know!

I knew you would find me.
I knew...

Who are you?

I'm called Lilith.

Don't speak!

Belleme was a crusader.

It was his custom to trade his more
distinguished prisoners for precious stones.

As the Saracens put great value
on their commanders,

Belleme returned to England
with a considerable fortune.

I'll make the woman talk, my lord.

I doubt it, Gisburne!

She and the witch Lilith
who worshipped the baron

and would do anything he asked of them
...however vile.

When Belleme died,
have its hidden jewels.

His power still dominates them
Even from the grave.

Then it's likely the jewel's
cursed, my lord.

Very likely.

So Abbot Hugo will exorcise each emerald.

Wash 'em in the font if necessary.

But...

...we still have to find them,
don't we?

- We'll find them.
- You we'll Ralph.

And with all expediency.

I lost him...

I lost him.

- What is it, d'you think?
- I don't know.

But I know he is in danger.
- He sees things, does Robin. Always has.

Things that'll happen.

- This is different.
- Then maybe Herne called to him.

No. It wasn't Herne.

I'm frightened.

Do not worry.
We find him!

Nasir'll track him eh?

He is the best.
He can find anyone.

If you want me,
then you prove your love for me

Ask me.

I'll do anything.

I wonder...

Ask me.

Ask me, Lilith.

Bring me the Silver Arrow.
Herne's Arrow.

- The Arrow.....
- Bring it to me! And prove your love.

- But... the Arrow!
- Then I'll be yours.

Isn't that what you want?

Bring me the Arrow...

I will.

I'll bring it to you.

Prepare her.

What d'you make of it, Nasir?

Two people.

One comes.
They meet there.

Who comes?

Then they go.

That way

Who could it be?

Robin!

It's me, Robin. Much.
Much!

- Don't you know us?
- He's mad!

No. He's bewitched.

Look at me!
Who am I, Robin?

He doesn't know you
He doesn't know any of us.

Oh John - what can we do?

I'll tell you...

Find whoever's done this to him

- You don't know what you're up against.
- No,I don't.

D'you'waht him to stay in their power?

Whoever it is we've got to find 'em
and make 'em release him.

We must go to see Herne.

He made Robin his son.
Sent him to lead us.

There's no one else.

Only Herne can help us.

Is it agreed?

- Yes...
- Aye...

Robin?

Let me go.

Let me go, boy.

- I can't.....
- Please...

I beg you.

Robin I can't...
The others...I can't.

I shall die.

- Die?
- Unless you free me.

You won't die.
Why - why should you?

- You won't die!
- Free me.

I want to help you.
We we all do...

Free me...

Robin!

Much!
St Thomas... !

I had to let him go!
I had to.

He said he'd die!

Did I say you could question her?

Did I give the order?

- My lord - I thought
- You thought

You'd come down here and enjoy yourself
for a few hours - didn't you?

No, my lord!

I hoped to - to surprise you by discovering
the whereabouts of Baron de Bellame's jewels.

I don't like surprises, Gisburne.
I never have.

Especially where you're involved.

Well?
Did she tell you anything?

Curses and blasphemy. Little else.

- Was it written down?
-Yes, my lord.

Shall I read it?

Question: "Where is the treasure of Simon de Belleme?"

Answer: "No! No! Azael

Question: "Where is it hidden?"

No more. Let me be. Mercy I beg you!
I beg you! Oh, help me - help me!"

Then she swooned my lord.

Did she?

Where was I?
Ah, yes...

Question: "Where is the treasure?
Can you understand me?"

Answer: "Kill me! Kill me.
The eye, the eye..."

Take...No...Sat...

The rest was incomprehensible, my lord.

May I, my lord Sheriff?

"The eye. Take...
No...Sy..."

Satan!
The Eye of Satan!

- What are you babbling about?
- The jewels are still at Castle Belleme!

- How do you know?
On the "North Wall of the castle"

high above the river there's a gargoyle,
my lord. A one-eyed devil.

It's known to the local people as Satan.
'The Eye of Satan!'

My dear Ralph...
Something tells me...

...you're going to go far.

Let one of us come with you!
- No. I must see Herne alone.

There's nothing to fear.

I know why you've come to me.

But the Hooded Man is hidden from me
a by another.

He is a slave,
shackled by witchcraft.

You alone can find him.
And you must.

For soon he must face
the greatest of enemies.

And know himself in
the white flame of his power.

Take this and listen well.

- Do you believe I love you?
- Oh, yes...

Now I believe you.

You have betrayed Herne for me.

The Arrow is yours.

As I am yours.
- Not yet...my love.

First, we must go from here.

I need you to help me.

- Nothing.
- So was us.

- Not a sign.
- He might as well be invisible.

We followed the stream as far as Wickham.
Then worked back round the marshes.

Where are the others?
They searching in the woods above the valley

We've covered some ground today.

- We nearly ran slap into a couple of Foresters.
- Very nearly.

That's Scarlet!

Six of us!
We need six hundred.

What hope have we got of finding.

- Well he's got to be somewhere little flower.
- Yes, but if he's hiding from us...

Ay, or being hidden.

It's getting dark.

Listen...

We will eat, sleep
and try again tomorrow.

Come on, Marion.

We found him.
I promise you.

Do you know this place?

Castle Belleme...

They came that night...

came from miles around.

The people who had feared him.

They plundered the castle - set it ablaze.

It was an evil place, they said.

What did they know?

Do you remember?

No! Robin, stay away!
Stay away!

Aziel receive ...

...my sacrifice.

His body was never found.

It lies in a circle of power.

He prepared it.

See!

Death's left no mark on him.
Azael has protected his servant.

See there?
Below the window!

The eye of Satan.

I've dreamed of this moment.

I waited until the time was right.

The day of Mercury.

The hour of his death.

The man who killed him.

and the means by which he died.....

I conjure thee to the lords of darkness,

by the Shield of Solomon

And by the power of Herne's arrow.

Venite!

Palas aron azinomas!

That is impossible.

Dangerous.

...But not impossible.

Then you can prove me wrong.

The power of this arrow

and in command of the Lord Azael ...

I have returned.

To do his biding.

Know that everything Herne
told you, was a lie.

He forced you to become his champion.

But Lilith has freed you

For you, the fighting is over.

At midnight bring me his heart.

Go now!

I found them.

The Sheriff was right...

He said you'd go far.

I'm free of you now, Sheriff!

I'm free of you!

I'm free of you now... !

I am not a spirit.

I breathe as you breathe.

As your companion breathed.

Before you took his life!

They are mine.

I give you your life...

To tell the Sheriff...
I command his presence here!

Something tells me I'm in for a surprise.

Are you going to surprise me, Gisburne?

- I...I am, my lord!
- Good.

Where are they?

Where's Ralph?

He...he's dead.

- He fell.
- Fell? How careless.

Where are the jewels?

I don't know...how to
put this, my lord.

You usually do, Gisburne.
I am sure you will find a way.

They weren't there - were they?

A wild goose chase
and a dead duck!

They were there, my lord!

- The jewels were there.
- And where are they now?

The Baron...has them.

What Baron?

The Baron...de Belleme.

- He is dead!
- I know!

Who are they?

Who did this to him
and why?

Because he is Herne's son.

Robin once said the whole world
was a battlefield. Not just Sherwood.

A never ending war between the powers
of good and evil.

Edward.

- Blessed be.
- Blessed be.

- Didn't think to find you here.
- We're looking for Robin.

I'd leave him alone
if I were you.

Why?

- Why d'you say that?
- Because I've seen him.

Not an hour since.

- With a girl.
- With a girl?

- Where?
- Leave him be!

- He'll come to his senses.
- Where were they, Edward?

- Marion...
- Look - It isn't what you think.

He's been bewitched.
He doesn't know us!

He's like a stranger!

There was a look in his eyes.
As if he was in torment.

Look, Edward...
Where are they?

I'll take you there.

I could never leave you.

Suppose I told you that tomorrow
would never come?

Even if it was true...

We'd still be together.

Would we?

Nothing could ever part us.

Nothing?

No, Nothing.

Then drink.

Swine!
Swine!

Swine!

Look at these!

No!
No!

You'll burn in hell - all of you!

No! Let her go!

Azael! ! !

She's failed me!
He's free!

Marion...

- I stole Herne's Arrow.

You did what?!

He made me.

She used it's power
to bring him back to life!

Whatever happens?
I must get it back.

Well?
Do you still say you saw him?

I saw him, my lord.

And...Ralph fell?

It was this way.

Wy are you doing it, Gisburne?

What d'you hope to gain?

I'm here, Baron!

You're pathetic, Gisburne.

Shall we go on?

All the magical paraphenalia.

Just as it was the day he died.

The day he died, Gisburne.

You murdered Ralph - didn't you?

You have the jewels?

Why the elaborate
and bizarre story, Gisburne?

Why?

Gisburne...?

You're...

you're dead!

You speak of something of
which you have no knowledge.

What is death, de Rainault?

When does a man die?

When his heart stops?

When the last breath left his body?

Or when he rots?

And if he doesn't rot, de Rainault?

If the frozen hours stretch on

...forever?

His blood a silent river of ice...

Waiting...
Waiting...

What then de Rainault?

You cross yourself ?

When you believe in nothing.

You doubted my powers and mocked
my sorcery. Yet something in you feared me.

See?

The Silver Arrow!

I am the power!

Robin!

It's Robin Hood!

Oh, Lord of lightning great,
Prince of the power of fire! Ruler of tempests!

Storms and whirlwinds!
Smite thohu thy enemies!

Destroy them, Dark Lord!

Rend their flesh with the cruel
talons of thy terror!

This way!

I am here...

I am the messenger of Lord Azael,
prince of the demons.

Nothing can save you.

Herne's Arrow...
destroy his son.

You...

Come on, Tuck.

Did you really believe
you could overthrown me.
