- Father, Father!

Soldiers, soldiers!

Out!

Out!

Stay here, Robin.

Argh!

Come on, Robin.

- Argh!

Argh!

Matthew, it's Ailric.

- Ailric! - They're burning Loxley.

Hide the boy.

- Father! - I'll come for him by night.

Whoa!

Go on, go on, go on!

- I've been expecting you, Ailric.

You've lost, the rebellion's over.

Where is it, where's the arrow?

It's here, isn't it, it's here?

You're the guardian, aren't you?

Argh!

He's coming.

The Hooded Man is coming.

- Beware the Hooded One.

Herne's son will seek the arrow.

The master demands a sacrifice.

A girl, pure and innocent.

It is near.

- Much!

Much!

Much, come here!

I knew it was you, you fool!

Do you know what you've done?

- Leave me alone, get off me.

Get off me!

He's mine.

- Yours? Nothing's yours.

You take my bow and kill the King's deer.

- The King won't mind, not one deer.

Wouldn't miss it, would he?

Got plenty, the King has.

I'd tell him I was hungry.

And he'd say it's better to be hungry

and have both your hands. - Both my hands?

- And then he'd lop one off,

so you'd remember what he'd said.

Come on, Much!

Stop there!

- Run! - I said stop!

They're here, m'Lord, over here!

Robin, Robin!

I can't run any faster, Robin, I can't!

Keep going, Much!

Don't stop! - They're getting away!

Head them off! - No!

This way.

Corner them! - Come on, Much!

Robin, I can't, I can't!

Surround them!

Do you know who I am?

Yes.

Well?

My Lord of Gisburne.

- Good, and who are you, serf?

- I'm not a serf,

I'm a free man.

- I say you're a serf, you're a serf!

Now what's your name, serf?

- Robin of Loxley.

- You aren't Robin of Loxley, Loxley doesn't exist.

- I was born in Loxley.

- Then you'd better forget it, hadn't you?

So you've broken the law of Benson,

do you know what that means?

I'll spell it out for you, shall I?

No man save a sworn forester

shall carry a bow in the forest.

No man shall hunt or kill the King's beasts.

Do you know the penalty?

Don't nod.

- Yes. - Yes, my Lord.

Yes, my Lord.

- My Lord, it was me shot the deer, Much is my name.

- Look, he's the Miller's son. - Let him speak for himself.

What's the matter with him,

is he simple or something? - Let him go,

he's nothing to do with it. - You'll lose your tongue

as well as your hand!

Tie them up.

- Not in the dark cell. - Much, it's alright,

it's alright, it's alright. - No, I can't go in there.

No, no.

Much.

- In there! - No!

No, the devils will come.

- Much, Much, there's no devils.

- There are, I know there are. - Shh, shh, shh, shh!

- The only devil's the one that put you here.

Guy of Gisburne.

What's your name?

- Robin.

Robin of Loxley.

- Loxley?

There's no such place.

- That's what they tell us.

Nothing's forgotten.

- No, nothing's forgotten, nothing.

My wife's folks, they came from Loxley and they died there

and I wish to God she'd died with them.

- Why, why do you say that?

- Cold.

It was in the night,

soldiers drunk, mercenaries.

They took her from me.

When they'd finished with her,

they trampled her to death with their horses

and they laughed,

laughed.

And then...

My name was Will Scathelocke.

It's Scarlet now.

- I'm Tom the Fletcher.

Dickon of Barnsley.

- How long have you been here?

- Two months maybe.

How do you tell? - Two months? Longer.

- Why?

- For keeping my goats in the forest,

can't do that, can you?

I take food from the King's deer.

- How about you? - Poaching.

- Scarlet?

- I killed three of the bastards.

I'm gonna swing.

- Only one way out of here.

Feet first, only way out of here.

- Who's he?

No, he's, he's mad.

- No, I ain't, no.

Feet first, it's the only way out of here.

- Maybe.

- Robert!

Robert!

By Christ, Robert, I will not lose my fishpond.

- Come on, Thomas.

- You don't have to lose it, Hugo,

just lower the water level. - And why should I?

- Because the meadow on the other bank has been flooded

and it's not church land.

- God in heaven, Robert,

we're haggling over less than an acre

and you're my brother.

- I'm Sheriff,

our blood relationship has nothing to do with it

and we're not haggling.

That land belongs to the King

and I'm telling you to drain it.

- Alright, Robert, alright, I'll drain it

on condition that you let me have more foresters.

- Dig into your own pocket, Hugo, I can't afford them.

- You see, there you go again,

all one way with you, isn't it?

It's impossible!

- I'll tell you what's impossible,

it's impossible for Gisburne to keep church land

free of poachers. - He's brought two in today.

What's wrong with that?

Anyway, Gisburne's brains are in his backside.

It's not more men he needs, it's more up here.

The Baron de Belleme is here.

- The Baron's here.

- Brother Tuck. - The Baron de Belleme.

- Well, he can wait.

- It can't be done. - It can if we do it at night,

six of us. - I ain't coming.

No, no, no, don't count me.

I can't leave Arthur.

- Arthur, who's Arthur?

- He's Arthur. - You're as mad as he is.

- There's a good lad. - Yes, how many?

- Look, it's an escape, not a battle.

Shut up!

If we made it, what happens then?

- Outlawed, made Wolfshead.

Anyone can out us, even a serf.

- Where would we go from here? - Where would we go?

- What have we? We'd starve. - Not in Sherwood.

- Sherwood! - Shh!

- There is parts of it no soldier will go near.

- There's parts of it no one will go near.

- That is where we'd be safe.

So you'd rather rot, would you?

- It is the only way.

- I don't know about you,

why not?

I've got nothing else to lose.

- Well?

You'd be the first to get out of here.

- The Lady Marion, my Lord.

- You are the daughter of Sir Richard of the Lea?

- Yes, my Lord Baron.

- Killed in Palestine, my Lord.

- And another ward of the Abbott Hugo.

- Yes, my Lord Baron.

- And you live here in Nottingham Castle

under the protection of his brother?

- Yes, my Lord Baron.

- You are very fortunate to have two such devoted guardians.

A year ago,

the Lady de Belleme

took her own life.

You could take her place.

- I'm honored, my Lord, but I'm afraid I can't.

- What?

- Within this month I go to Kirklees Abbey

to become a novice of the order.

- My Lord, you must understand-

- Marry her to God?

So that her lands come to the church?

My Lord, I am not-

- The time is coming,

when you will beg for my help,

both of you.

You'll give her to me then,

when the Hooded Man comes to the forest.

A fine bird, De Rainault.

- May I go now, my Lords?

Yes, yes,

you may.

- I'll have him excommunicated.

- And he'll have us murdered.

I'd be inclined to give him the girl, Hugo,

save us a lot of bother. - And lose 400 acres?

- Why are you men of God so damned acquisitive?

Belleme's possessed.

He's insane.

- They say a demon took his soul

while he was in the Holy land. - Do they?

Probably sunstroke.

- Gets up to all kinds of nastiness, devil worship.

But which devil?

There are so many, aren't there?

And only one God.

It hardly seems fair.

You'll stay the night?

- Well, I'd rather not return in the dark, Robert.

- That's why I asked.

- I won't marry Simon de Belleme, I won't.

He's like a snake.

The sooner I get to Kirklees, the sooner I'll be safe.

- Patience, my child.

Help, guard!

Help me!

Quickly!

Get the keys. - I can't.

There's no keys.

Tom, help me.

Help me, Tom.

I'm trying, Loxley.

His sword, get his sword.

- Come on.

- On my back.

- Come on, Much.

- I can't. - Much!

- I can't, come on, grab this hand, grab this hand.

- It's the only way. - Lift me up.

You'll never get out of here.

Never.

Are you coming or what?

They'll never get out of here.

Ey, Arthur?

Never get out of here.

Argh!

- Leave it, Will.

Remember, make for Sherwood.

Where's Much?

Much, put those down. Hurry!

Come on!

- Argh!

Close the gates!

Close the gates! - Get them!

Argh!

Argh!

Make for the main gate!

Run!

Loxley!

The portcullis!

- Loxley, Loxley!

Loxley!

Loxley!

Run!

Get out the way.

Will!

Argh!

- Where are you? Move, you bloody fools!

Get here!

By Christ, where are you?

Break the door down.

Break it down!

Gisburne, what's happening?

- Don't cry out.

I won't harm you.

- Gisburne!

Gisburne, why don't you answer me?

Gisburne, what's happening?

My Lady!

- What is it?

- Prisoners have escaped, lock this door!

Thank you, my Lady.

- Why didn't you call out?

Why?

- He'd have killed you.

You're not afraid of me?

Who are you?

- My name is Marion.

- Marion.

- Where will you go? - Sherwood.

- They'll hunt you.

- Yes,

but they won't catch me.

- How can you be so sure?

Because I know the forest and they don't.

- Even at night?

Yes,

even at night.

You're like a May morning.

- The Hooded Man.

- And then, and then we ran, see, fast as we could.

Did Robin get away?

- No.

What'll they do to him?

- Where are the others? - I lost them.

I'll hide you, boy,

Guy of Gisburne shan't take you. Come on.

Where on earth have you been?

- Wolfshead.

Outlaw.

Do you fear me, boy?

- Why should I fear you? You're a man.

- I am your destiny.

Herne, Herne the Hunter.

Look at me.

They are all waiting, the blinded, the maimed,

the men locked in the stinking dark all wait for you.

Children with swollen bellies hiding in ditches wait.

The poor, the dispossessed, they all wait.

You are their hope.

You cannot escape!

So must it be, Robin in the Hood!

- He has come to the forest.

Find him.

He must die.

- Argh!

Argh!

Where is this?

- Sherwood.

- Sherwood?

You were possessed.

- Belleme.

His men captured me and bound me.

There was smoke and voices muttering.

Blood.

You set me free.

God, I stink like a pig.

What's your name?

- John Little of Hathersage.

- John Little?

Little John more like.

Little John?

I like that, and who may you be?

Argh!

- Robin of Loxley!

- Getting dark, my Lord. - Yeah.

- Very well, we'll turn back.

- You'd make a good cook.

- Royal meat, Little John.

- You sleep all day, you travel all night.

It's the only way to do it.

- Where do you go?

- North, up to York,

maybe further, I don't know yet.

Where will you go? - Lincolnshire.

There's always work for a fletcher.

Are you still coming, Dickon?

- Aye, we'll be staying out of trouble this time,

working hard, keeping our heads down,

do as you're told and they'll leave you alone.

Who are you?

- I told you.

- You're no God. - We can all of us be Gods,

all of us.

- What do you want of me?

- Your life.

Your strength.

The powers of light and darkness have always been with you.

You have denied them.

What's your name?

- When the horned one possesses me, I am Herne the Hunter.

But what must I do?

- What your fate asks of you.

The time is near.

- The time, what time?

- They have waited too long.

Take the sword.

Take it.

Albion.

One of the seven swords of Wayland,

charged with the power of light and darkness.

Now string the bow.

Robin in the Hood.

Up!

- Loxley?

- No, not Loxley,

Robin,

Robin in the Hood.

- Robin in the Hood?

Have you been bewitched too?

- No, not bewitched,

awakened,

chosen by Herne the Hunter, his son.

You were sleeping, you slept too long,

we all have.

It's time we woke, time we stopped running.

Nobody ran at Hastings.

- No, they stood and died by their thousand.

- But at least they died fighting.

- That's an old battle to bring up, it's a long time ago.

- And what's happened to the English since then, Will?

I mean, where are they?

Stay away from trouble.

Do as you're told and they'll leave you alone.

Is this the spirit of England?

Villages destroyed, so that princes can hunt unhindered.

The people bled white to pay for foreign wars!

No voice, no justice,

no England!

Well, it's time to fight back.

- Amen. - Amen.

I suppose you'd better commend me to that old hag,

the Abbess. - I will, my Lord.

- Go in peace.

- Brother Tuck!

Look after my bees. - I will, Lady Marion.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Gisburne, see what you can get out of the miller.

He must know where they are. - I will.

- May God's peace go with you.

Don't take any prisoners.

Take these to do fletchings,

That's a fine sword.

Now you're gonna learn how to use it.

- Where are they?
