Will finds Much and brings him to Robin, and Much relays Bess' news. Robin immediately orders his men to find and protect Richard; now sure of Robin's loyalty, Richard reveals himself. He and Robin persuade the Bishop of the Black Cannons to allow them to join his monks in disguise so they can enter the castle. Once inside, Richard announces his presence, and a huge melee erupts. Robin duels Gisbourne and kills him, freeing Marian and prompting the rest of John's men to surrender.
