Will informs Robin, Azeem, John, and a few other survivors of the Sheriff's plans, but does not trust Robin. Will bargains with the Sheriff that he will find out if Robin is alive and kill him. Marian reluctantly agrees, but the captured bandits are to be hanged anyway as part of the wedding celebration. To consolidate his power and claim the throne, the Sheriff proposes marriage to Marian (who is Richard's cousin), claiming that, if she accepts, he will spare the lives of the woodsmen and their families.
