Robin Hood (1984–1986): Season 3, Episode 10 - The Pretender - full transcript

The King decides to divorce his queen and marry the 11-year-old Isabella of Angeloueme, making the outraged, overthrown Queen Hadwisa plotting with her relatives to make The King lose the throne altogether. The outlaws save the life of Arthur, who arrives in Sherwood chased by a gang of soldiers. Arthur claims to be a poor steward falsely accused of stealing from his master. However, with his fine manners and knowledge of Latin and poetry, the outlaws soon conclude that Arthur is not what he claims to be.

I hear that's good? Get me
tell that the king wants to divorce?

Divorce? From me?

He can not do.
-- It's already happened.

He can not do
do you understand?

He can not do.
-- He is the king.

The Pope has blessed our marriage.
-- I know.

I am the queen of England
and nothing can change that.

The king has already changed.

Where is he?
-- In France.

In France? There he learned that slut
Isabella of Angoul?me know.

Slut? It is just twelve years old.
-- And a slut.



Leave. I disgust of the king.

The Archbishop
your marriage has been annulled.

There's a blood bond
that the marriage was not legal.

You must leave the palace today.

If the king is being secreted,
separates the whole family Gloucester.

We have the same power and influence.

And the people are behind us.
-- I am only the messenger.

Okay. He must
me to divorce, Tourneur.

He may dispose of me
like a old garment.

He should that child to make his bride.

But will it be
the throne costs.

Since you have him.

Outlaw. Get out.

Watch him.



Let them go.

This is the Duke of Gloucester.
-- How do you know?

I know the family since my youth.
-- It is far away. What are they doing here?

Him sit.

They were soon gone.
-- Would you not be?

No, I would you a blow
give your ugly nose.

That you should try it.

You have saved me. Who are you?
-- Robin Hood and his men.

Who are you?
-- My name is Arthur.

He has become very difficult
by the dog bite.

Lord.

Where is the doctor?
-- We have informed him.

It looks uncomfortable out.
-- It is, Gisburne.

It is uncomfortable
if your dog bites you.

But I do come to expect.

The new queen of England.
She comes in two days.

And please you.
I can not move.

Everything is arranged.

Her room has fresh bedding
and rose petals and the kitchen ...

Do not overdo, Gisburne.

It is not a celebration
but a pilgrim.

A pilgrimage.
-- What do you mean?

The young queen is not popular.

They visit a saint in unknown
an abbey in the middle of the country ...

... so that in each village.
-- Keep it up.

I have enough concern
without your simple ideas.

What is that?
-- It is the village of Wickham, Your Majesty.

We may, for dark
in the abbey are.

Do you sometimes rush, Tourneur?
-- Virtually every beggar follows us al

They follow us
because they hope for a miracle.

They want to cure.
-- And the jewels of the King show.

But they are well protected.
-- I know.

We spend the night in Wickham
through as planned.

It is a pitiful place.

We are all miserable
in the eyes of God.

Therefore we are here.

To Wickham.

Lord.
-- Is the doctor there finally?

Not yet. The former queen
and her father are coming to the castle.

I will go greet them.
-- Wait.

If Hadwisa now here,
it is no coincidence.

That Gloucester have something.

I was steward of the Duke of
Gloucester. He said I had stolen.

Since then his men hunt
me.

We are 300 miles from Gloucester.
-- You know the Duke not.

So?
-- He never gives up.

I had blocked me, but when
he discovered me and the rest you saw.

Wine?
-- No. Thank you, brother.

Brother? Call me not.
I'm just Tuck.

Fatty monk Tuck.
-- Wine, John?

Forgive me.
-- Be blessed.

Here you have something to drink.

Forgive me again.

Okay. What do you want from us?

I would like to join.
-- This is not for you.

Why?
-- We do not need steward.

I am more than a steward.

I can fight
and handle a sword.

That's a nice sword.

My uncle had.
-- And who is he?

The brother of my father.

He gave it to me.
-- And he can also teach?

I am better than anyone of you too.

Those are big words,
but you can also make hard?

If necessary.

Choose anyone.
-- Me.

Fight you with two swords?

Then I borrow one.

Here. Take that of me.

Thank you.
-- I do it with pleasure.

He asked for it.

He tries to kill him.

It's just a game.

I know Nasir,
but I know him not.

Well done, Nasir.

You fight heroically.

Would you like someone else try?
-- No. Thank you, Will.

That is unfortunate.

Lady Hadwisa. My lord.
-- Gisburne.

Guy, nice to see you. It is ...
-- Ten years ago.

Ten years? You were the worst page
ever a cup of wine dropped.

I understand
that the sheriff is unable to?

Unfortunately, yes.
He is bitten by a dog.

Poor creature.

What takes you to Nottingham?
-- You see again.

Wine for our guests.

It is there.

Those.

How do you think?
-- Sapere algi.

You speak Latin?
-- A little bit.

Come on, Will.

It should be stationed there.

No, Will.

Here he is.

That is good.

Where is Gisburne?
-- He is gone.

At sunrise.

He left?
-- The Duke and Hadwisa, my lord.

I would see him when he comes back.

Where is that doctor?

Why are we here?
-- According to my father you are ambitious.

I do my best.
-- This is a time when you can make.

The barons to a covenant
forms that can dethrone the King.

But they are nervous.
They need a sign.

For example, Queen Isabella.
-- How?

They focus all their grievances to her.

As our losses in France.
-- She has bewitched the king.

Even loyal aanangers
turn against him.

By her death, the barons
behind us scissors ...

... and pave the way for a successor.

But there is no successor.

The king has no children
and his brothers are dead.

Nobody can throne
rightfully claim.

There is no successor, Gisburne ...

... but there is a troonpretendent.
-- A troonpretendent?

King Richard had a cousin,
Prince Arthur of Brittany.

Some had Leeuwenart
appointed him as heir.

Yes, but he is also dead.
Murdered by King John.

Is that so?

Majesty.

Arthur.

There are many
that one seems to be ...

... but in reality
something different.

You can people who pretend
something else, not fighting.

Who is Arthur?
What should it us?

Only to be who you are,
Robin in the hood ...

... you can overcome.

Another mystery.

Is it?
-- Well done.

Higher, Much. Higher.

That is not fair. You are bigger.
-- It is about skill.

Arthur has been in Nottingham.
-- Why?

That he would not tell us.

What's the news?
-- There is a French princess.

On pilgrimage.
-- The abbey of Warren.

That I hear for the first time.

She has boxes full of money and jewelry.
-- On pilgrimage?

It is a sacrifice
St Oswald of Angoul?me.

It seemed to me better
if it was offered to us.

A princess.

Who is this princess?
-- She has money. What is that?

I think we should do.
-- Money and jewelry.

The abbey is rich enough.
-- Come on, Robin.

This is easily earned.

Okay. We do it.

Thank you, Robin.

Lord, the doctor is here.
-- Finally.

Let him.
-- That has already happened.

Wait a minute. I know you.
You are not the doctor.

You are the barber.
-- That's right, sir.

On Tuesday and Friday I cut your hair.

I asked a doctor,
not a barber--surgeon.

The physician is sick. There is someone
from Lincoln, but that may take a while.

How long?
-- Morning, sir.

Tomorrow?

I can not wait until tomorrow.

Okay.

Hurry up then.

Be careful.

You backward, onandige fool.
Moron. Clown.

We have Arthur necessary.
-- But the barons did.

They need someone to follow.
-- A figurehead.

All our hope is based on him.
The barons are scared.

They consider an alternative.

A decree power to Johns
to scale.

What they want. If that woman
but die, I'm happy.

What is that?
It looks like goat cheese.

It is also goat cheese, Gisburne.
-- Because of the headache.

Ga road. Forward.

Close the door, Gisburne.

You love something, huh?

When Queen Isabella Arthur kills ...

... what happens then?
That is not everything, huh?

No, there is still something.

Tell me.
I can hardly wait.

It will seem as if Isabella
is slain by the people.

In any case by a folk hero.
By Robin Hood.

I get it al
And then you kill him?

Exactly. He gets the blame
and we deal with the credit.

You're crazy if you think
that this will succeed.

When Isabella died,
then we hung up.

We all.

Get Hadwisa and Gloucester.
I would immediately speak.

It's too late. They are all gone.

Fixed it, Arthur, but we make more
chance in a snare for the abbey.

Exactly.
-- I think: Inside the abbey.

That is Much.
-- There is someone.

That is a coincidence. The Duke
Gloucester in person.

He departs from Nottingham.
-- Robert of Huntington.

You know me.
-- I know the shame of your father.

What do you want from me?
-- Everything you have.

Come then retrieve.

Grab his money.

Forward. Extract the.

Robin, I can not do.
He has treated me well.

I have never stolen from him.
I can 't even now.

Then I will.

That is all we have.

More we can not.

Get up, worthless dogs.

Get up, imbeciles.

Come on.

Get up, you.

What are you looking at? Follow me.

How is he?
-- He lives it.

What did you do to him?
-- A sleep. He sleeps deep.

Let him sleep good.

Tell the captain that the soldiers
about a half hour to leave.

Where do they go, Sir Guy?
-- The abbey of Warren.

148, 149, 150.

Not bad for a morning work.
-- That was a good yield.

Thank you, Will.
-- That is not bad.

What do we do with our problem?

We are in the plan.
-- I think it is a good plan.

But Arthur is not fixed.

Sorry. I wish you do not disturb.

That you do not.

You look so beautiful there.

That comes from a poem.
-- I know.

The love that I wanted
and I was hoping ...

... me, my clean,
the custody of your data.

I mean it.
You deserve better than this, Marion.

You have beautiful clothes and jewels
and in a palace residence.

Just like a queen.
-- I can make you queen.

The queen then?

What queen? The Meikoningin?
The queen of your heart?

It meant nothing.
It was well intended.

Good? Yes, he is very good, huh?

A good sword and good words.
Who are you, Arthur?

What good are you family?

You're not my boss.
-- Who is it?

Lkzelf.
-- No, Arthur. Nothing on your right.

You fine maniertjes and fairground tricks.

We are better off without you.

We have not needed, Arthur.
Ga road.

Stop it.

Stop it. Both.

You behave like children.

John, Will. Come quickly.
-- What is it?

They are fighting.

Do something. Come on.

Where are they?
-- There. Come on.

This direction.
-- Do something.

Take them apart.
-- This way.

Here they are.
-- Here.

Stop. What is this about?

I was just talking with her.

Just to talk.
-- What happened?

No idea.
-- This has nothing to do with Marion.

You see that?

Okay, Arthur.
We do it your way.

I ga.

What happened?
-- I meant nothing.

It does not matter.
We do not need.

We have you.

Let Gisburne arrest.
-- He is gone.

He has been on hold.
-- Road?

When you slept, my lord.

Help me with my leg.

The queen.

Is she still in Wickham?
-- Yes, she has eight.

Help me with my gown. Come on.

On the side, dumb bitch.

What is it?
-- You recover quickly, but if you are traveling ...

... it would be ...
-- My death might mean?

Isabella If I do not personally speaking
then we all.

I have no choice.

Get a sedan chair.
We start immediately.

How far is it still?
-- Not far more.

Let's just
without all that trash.

These are your loyal subjects.
-- I'm tired.

The sooner we are ready,
the sooner we can to London.

Come on. Leave the jewelry come.
-- The queen is moving forward.

Who are you?
-- The superintendent of the sheriff.

I am from Wickham
with urgent news.

Is the sheriff in Wickham? Why?

Why?
-- The queen is in danger.

He wanted to warn her,
but she is gone.

Why is he still there?
-- He is sick.

Maybe even dying
by a dog bite.

How did you get here?

Only two guards.

That is the horse of my steward.
Where is he?

He inadvertently ran against the body.

Me.

I want to know how it is with Arthur.

Listen well, bird--free.

Arthur says he is the nephew of
King Richard and troonpretendent.

King John had him put
Gloucester but freed him.

When they tight you
for him to take in your group.

He wants the queen murder
and you get the debt.

Gisburne is ready
to you and your men to kill.

It's a crazy plan.

And God help me,
but only you can frustrate.

You must save the queen
and also your own neck.

And yours, sheriff.

Much, are you listening?
-- What will happen?

We go to the cupboard and relics
touch the bones of St Oswald.

Then you insert the candle and you
heal. At least, that they hope.

Give it to the others. No.

We can not do this.
-- We should.

Without Robin?
-- Arthur can not go.

Robin agreed.
-- And if he is right about Arthur?

No worries.
I keep an eye.

Nasir and you catch problems.

Let the princess to me.
-- We know what we should do.

Good.

An escort. Finally.
-- I fear not.

I have a aanoudingsbevel to you
-- Against Me?

I bring you to the Tower.
-- On whose order?

The king and the barons
of Northumberland and Essex.

Have they gone to the king?
The fools.

What does it matter?
We are miles away from Nottingham.

Honor the soldiers of the king there are,
it is already too late.

Come, my lord.

The next time we
Queen Isabella see in hell.

It is customary
the last piece to run.

Then I change the use.

Place the jewels.
Make room for the queen.

There she is.

This is the relics cabinet
St Oswald of Angoul?me.

Ever will
an important abbey come.

A monument to his work.

The largest Abbey in England.

The abbey of Isabella.

Therefore I give this poor
offerings to the abbey ...

... so that its glorious work
can continue.

Only the queen.
-- She is just a girl.

Grab them.

Stop them. I take the queen.

No, we are pilgrims.

Leave her to me.
Let no one through.

Who are you?

Arthur of Brittany.

No, Arthur. No.

You're back? Why?

For you to stop.

Hold it against me.

You can not.
You can not kill me.

Why not?
-- You do not know who I am.

That makes me no difference.
-- Listen, it's not too late.

If you help me, I
a rich man of you. I am ...

Why?

He said he was Arthur of Brittany.

But he was not at all.

Arthur died in a prison in Rouen.

I was there myself in when King John
him with their own hands wurgde.

I looked at how the lives
was squeezed out of him.

I looked again.

Stop. Who are you?

I am Guy of Gisburne.
These are the men of the sheriff.

Why were you the queen of?
-- We were those scoundrels on.

She wanted her murder.
-- And you not?

I protected her.
-- Without me she was dead.

Enough.

Who are you?
-- I am Sir Guy of Gisburne, Your Majesty.

Dressed as a monk?
-- Your Majesty, I ...

This man, or Robert Huntington,
should be released.

Majesty ...
-- Silence.

While you idiots
rondlummelden here ...

... this man saved my life.

As a reward I give him his freedom.
And the same goes for men.

This man is ...
-- Be quiet.

You can go bird--free.

But if we meet again,
it will not happen.

Come on.

That was the new queen?

She is the perfect woman
for King John.

Tourneur, you had to
I walked into a trap.

He must have known.
He was here from the beginning.

Your Majesty, we were here
to protect you.

My men were here.
You were completely safe.

Safe?

Called you safe? Safe?

Safe?

Arthur was a prince?
-- The sheriff thought not.

And the queen too.

If he was not Arthur of Brittany,
then who?

A schijneilige.

That is a miracle.
-- Yes, it's a miracle.
