Gisborne! Robin Hood just knocked one of my men out with a wooden box.
Robin Hood! THEY SCREAM
This way!
Come on!
Take cover.
Robin, the Sheriff's in range.
It's the perfect shot. One arrow - it's the end of the reign of terror.
For your crimes against the people of Nottingham, Sheriff.
You're rubbish, Daniel. It's my turn with the bow. I'm Robin! As usual!
I get this boring piece of tree.
Hey!
Mark, get up.
Now!
Whoa! You see?
I told you I could do it! Nothing can penetrate it.
Excellent work. What else did you expect?
Unfortunately. . .
this secret cannot leave the forest.
Get them!
Go round, go round!
Mark, come on!
Come on out.
You can trust me. I'm Lord of Locksley.
CROWS CAW
HOOVES WITHDRAW
Shhh.
Lord of Locksley. . . Let go of me! It's all right.
Hang on, I know you.
yYouwere Ma rian's sttableboy at
What happened? I know Gisborne's up to something - I've been tracking him.
HE PANTS I don't trust you. All right.
Tell me your name. Daniel. Daniel.
Do you know who I am? No. (I'm Robin Hood.)
So what were you doing up there?
Nothing! Playing.
Playing Robin Hood. What, playing a loser? We didn't see anything, sir.
If you didn't see anything,
why would you say you didn't see anything? We won't say a thing, sir.
You can be sure of that.
Wait!
We can use them. Send them to the mine.
And send word to the Sheriff. Success. . .finally.
Gisborne's got my friends. He's got my friends!
I can help you with your friends, but I need you to tell me what you saw.
A man. They shot him, but he didn't die.
The arrows bounced off.
And then Sir Guy killed him with a knife. And now he's going to kill my friends. Whoa!
Whoa, whoa! The arrows bounced off what?
Armour. He was wearing armour - funny armour.
Let's see about your friends, shall we? Come on.
Thank you. I thought you said "chicken"?
This is a pretty small chicken, Much.
Again. And have you seen, in the trees? No squirrels lately!
It's not squirrel.
And what happened to the vegetables, huh? All you eat is bread and meat.
We are surrounded by edible berries and leaves.
Where's the fruit, the salad? Salad?!
Men eating leaves? There's only one use for leaves around here.
And you wouldn't want to be eating them afterwards!
Up. We need to go. This is Daniel. His friends are in danger.
And if I'm not much mistaken, so are we.
What's up? It's Gisborne.
He's creating a new armour.
We need to take his toys away, so arm yourselves.
Little John! Will!
Allan A Dale!
And you must be Djaq, the Saracen. Wow!
Sorry. Who are you? That. . .
That's Much. Oh, yes! The servant. THEY LAUGH
Very funny.
What? Nothing.
It's just. . . I thought you'd be. . .taller.
I'm quite tall.
But you know, like a giant.
Men tend to lie about their size. You ready? Give me that.
You won't be needing it. Come on. Let's go.
They've gone.
It's Mark's. See the M?
That's good. We play outlaws.
I'm Robin Hood. Well, I hope you're better at playing Robin Hood than I am. No.
I let go of his hand. Gisborne's lot were coming and I just ran.
Then you did the right thing. Really?
If you hadn't run, you would have been caught too. What good is that?
Listen. . .sometimes, in the heat of battle,
there isn't time to watch your gang's back.
Wagon tracks.
They've gone to Locksley, all right?
Come on. Let's go.
METAL CHIMES
SHERIFF COUGHS
Let's see it, then. The magic metal.
Is this it? Indeed. Very thin.
Thin. . .yes.
But that is its beauty. With this on, a soldier can dance in battle.
Yes. How does it work? That is my secret,
and I am the only man west of Jerusalem who knows how to make it. Ooh, lah-de-dah!
O ye of little faith. Come, I will show you a little of my art.
Stinks like a Turk's trousers.
To the artist, it is a beautiful smell. Here, my special ingredient.
This, to me, is more precious than diamonds.
I hope so. More expensive than diamonds. Watch.
POWDER SIZZLES
HE STIFLES A COUGH Don't cough. Breathe. Inhale.
Enjoy. SPLUTTERED: Enjoy?!
SHERIFF WHEEZES Water for the Sheriff. Believe me, in time, you will grow used to it.
You will get used to it, my friend.
Start production. I want 5, 000 suits of armour.
My lord, that is a very great undertaking.
Yes. Your fee is very generous. The king of France would pay double.
Well, you are indeed an artist.
Double? An inconvenience. But think of the gain.
An army of indestructible warriors.
Put this safely in my room.
CHILDREN COUGH
Gisborne. . . have you started a family
without telling me(? ) My lord. . .
Children. I caught them snooping around in the woods, my lord.
Tell me they didn't see you testing the armour in the forest.
Why didn't you kill them? My lord, I decided we could use them in the mines. We need extra labour. . .
Just when I thought I could let you out by yourself, to flap your little wings, you go and show compassion!
When there are people who know our little secret, those people have to die.
It's the back door plan! Come on. We move. Every time!
METAL CHIMES
Round here.
Quick.
SAW RASPS
HE SIGHS I don't like waiting.
Especially behind a cow. MOO!
It's not good for my constitution. Much! Shhh.
Hood? ! It's Locksley, to you.
BOLT LOCkS
No. Locksley's mine now.
Locksley will never be yours!
Still sore? Face facts, Hood - you lost, I won.
Oh! Will. . . I need Allan and Djaq now!
You want hearts and minds.
But you'll never have them. No matter how many people you kill.
No matter how many children you terrify. No matter how much armour you put on.
Ha!
You overestimate me, Hood.
Sometimes at night, I get one of your servants to rub my feet.
I don't care if she has a heart or a mind!
Right. Step over there, cover your eyes. I'll be back.
Ok?
Ah. . .rescued by outlaws.
Quelle surprise! We fight. Take this. Defend me from above.
Well, this should be fun.
Come on! Where's Mark? You've left Mark!
He's all right. We need you. Now.
You lot, stay here. In. Go in.
I'm afraid I can't let you keep these diamonds, Gisborne. And I can't let you take them.
The Black knights would be VERY disappointed. Then it's a stalemate.
Shall we toss a coin for it? Not stalemate. BLADE CLICkS
Checkmate!
ROBIN LAUGHS I'll see you!
Ah! Son of a camel!
Hood!
In the heat of the battle, there is time to watch your gang's back.
Thanks, Dan. Go! Go!
This way!
This is for the poor!
Got you!
Come on! Get in. Get in.
Is everyone all right? No, wait.
Where's Daniel?
Gisborne! Robin Hood just knocked one of my men out with a wooden box.
Now, you tell me it was not the box with the black diamonds in it!
Five men and a boy!
Hostage!
Daniel!
Robin Hood'll be back. He'll rescue me. We're counting on it.
People of Locksley! Let Robin Hood know this -
we want our box and its contents back by morning.
Or his little friend. . . will be punished.
His little friend will die.
Robin, we get the boy. . .now. No. We stop and we think, John.
You've got to give him what he wants.
Robin, take a look at this metal.
It is Damascus steel, or something like it.
A man wearing this would be invincible. Western weapons would be useless against this.
We can't let the Sheriff make this stuff. That's why I took the stones. We cannot give them back, Robin.
I know.
But we can't let the boy die. What do we do?
Thank you.
ARROW WHISTLES AND THUDS
HORSES NEIGH
My guard has gone for bread. We have two minutes.
I heard about the boy. What do you want? The Sheriff and Gisborne are developing a new armour.
It'll make him and the Black knights invincible. We have to stop them. We can't risk the boy. I know.
But if the Sheriff defeats the king then how many more lives will be lost? My guard!
I will get the boy out tonight. How? You're under house arrest.
I will find a way. That's the whole point to me being here.
Here, take this.
So, if Marian succeeds, we don't have to do any this? But if she doesn't, we need a plan. Right. . .
we need to trade Daniel and the black diamonds in open space.
And that's here. So when the Sheriff has the diamonds
and we have Daniel back safely, then we can strike.
We can't just nick them back, though. He'll have the place surrounded, won't he?
May as well just walk in, hands in the air, saying, "Shoot me." We could destroy them. We'll have to.
We need something that burns quickly. Pitch.
What about straw? Straw is fast, but it's not hot enough. Pitch.
Wood? Wood's hot, but it's not quick enough.
Pitch. Fast-burning and hot.
Pitch! Good thinking, Mark.
I could make a new box. Choose the right wood. Something thin. Could line it with pitch.
We'd carry the diamonds in that, and you could shoot it, Robin. A flaming arrow. And the rocks will explode.
Good idea, Will. We'll test it in the morning. Much. . . Hm?
Is this rat? THEY SNIGGER
It's chicken. I can't see any feathers.
No? We haven't seen any squirrels! THEY LAUGH
Right. I don't suppose anyone round here has actually noticed,
but I have to do everything you all have to do AND keep this larder stocked.
So if anyone else would care to run themselves ragged in the forest,
trying to catch us some massive animal, then you can be the servants!
My lord. DOOR CLOSES
My lord, I beg a favour of you.
I have prepared a pass for you to sign.
And I need your permission to leave the castle.
Why? You so decreed it.
No, no. HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
I mean, why do you need to leave?
To visit Guy. Gisborne?
Well. . .he's had a bad day. I don't advise it.
He should have killed. . . some little boys.
But he didn't, he let them live - showed compassion.
And now it's a mess.
HE SNIFFS Hm.
Well, then, perhaps now is a good time for me to offer him an apology.
At this hour?
And in your finest silks.
I hope to make my peace with him.
Please.
Well. . .missy.
If it were me. . .
. .I would slap your fickle face.
WAX SIZZLES
Both of them.
This is a pass for the castle gate.
But underneath is an order to send Daniel back to the castle, so the Sheriff can question him tonight.
Gisborne won't release him to us. But he will release him to. . .
a castle guard.
I'll do it.
Are you aware of the risk? If Guy catches you. . . Don't worry.
He'll be putty in my hands. You're a brave man.
Well. . .
I'll go ahead. I told the Sheriff I'd call on Gisborne, so I must show my face there.
Good luck.
Forgive me. Marian, it's late.
Why so urgent?
I wish to speak to you. . . about a personal matter.
I'll send for you.
HE SCOFFS You overestimate yourself.
I had feelings for you.
I made no bones about that.
But now. . .I feel nothing.
And I have larger concerns. . . ambitions.
Is there no hope of a reconciliation?
I know you are a man capable of compassion.
I offer. . .
I offer friendship.
Guy. . .
What? I don't know.
Marian, what is this all about?
It's about friendship, that's all. No.
This isn't about friendship.
You want your freedom back.
That's what this is all about. And I can't give that to you.
You and your father, you've made your own bed. FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
Sorry, master. There's a messenger from the Sheriff. I should go.
That looked friendly. You were spying on me?! I was not! I was making sure you were safe.
I was safe. Shouldn't you be making sure Allan is safe?
I've played my part.
Marian. . .
This is the Sheriff's official seal. Who gave you this?
Listen, mate. . .the fact you're standing there, holding that, means I've stopped Robin,
right? I don't know where it's from.
I start asking too many questions, they're going to blow my cover.
You did well to bring this to me. Yeah!
I know. I think I'll have a bit more wine.
METALLIC SCRAPING
So. . .your plan's failed.
What will Robin do?
Well, if this doesn't work, it's a straightforward swap.
Diamonds for boy. Robin wouldn't risk the boy's life, not for anything.
How very noble of him.
But there must be some trick. HE SIGHS
What's it worth?
COINS CLINk
Pitch - in a box containing the diamonds.
Boy runs free, Robin fires a flaming arrow and. . .
. .bye-bye, diamonds.
What will you tell Hood? Oh, that's easy.
I'll just say I was tumbled.
You recognised me, we had a fight - which obviously I nearly won.
I left you for near dead, fleeing the manor, dispatching guards as I go.
Good idea. Mm.
What was that for? ! Believability.
Allan? Shhh.
Quick. Let's go. Gisborne rumbled me. How did you get out? We had a scrap.
I knocked him out. Unbelievable. Luckily, his guards didn't hear us, but. . .
we should scarper before he comes to. Right. Come on.
Robin. . .I'm sorry. Hey, it's not your fault, is it?
We'll tell the others and Marian. It's Mark's pitch plan. Come on!
Right. . .let's go.
Guards, take your positions. You, over there, move it! Move it!
Here, boy. See that?
If Robin Hood doesn't show up, these people here are going to watch you swing.
Sit.
Well. . .I see the sun, but no sign of your saviour.
He'll come. Oh, well, let's hope so.
For your sake! HE LAUGHS
Hood!
Oh, Robin Hoo-oo-ood!
Stay where you are, Hood.
My smith will meet you in the middle. Check the merchandise.
If it's all right, you get the key to the boy. No, Sheriff!
You can make the exchange. Otherwise your archers there will kill me.
And if they do fire upon me, my men will kill you.
Out of the way! Clear! Go to your houses. Move!
Oh, lah-de-dah!
Right, let's get on with it.
Allan, Djaq, take the archers on the left. You two, with me.
Stop! You cannot release the child to an outlaw.
Somebody find me a box and put this woman inside it! Release him to me.
I'll see that he gets home safely. Locksley, this makes no difference to you. You have my word.
I accept these terms. Good for you.
Go on, then. Now. . .
. .the black diamonds. Not yet!
Allow me to check the merchandise first.
Oh, so sorry.
You are, after all, as Lady Marian pointed out. . .
. .a murderous outlaw.
The Sheriff's guessed our plan. Unbelievable.
Something wrong, Hood?
SHERIFF SNIGGERS
Gisborne! All yours.
DJAQ GASPS That's the armour!
Enjoy!
Robin!
Stay back! My sword! Master!
Look at that! Look at that!
What now, Locksley? Run!
Master!
Robin! Don't touch him. Stay with the archers.
No, John! Wait!
Locksley will always be mine.
What's he doing?
Is that the best you can do? What now?
Playing outlaws with the children? ! Goodbye, Hood!
Oh, no. Oh, yes!
Tell your men to withdraw, Sheriff! Another exchange -
the black diamonds for Gisborne. And your other bag.
How long can you hold your breath? My lord. . .please!
You, em. . . You seem to have overestimated Gisborne's importance to me.
Make sure he's safe.
Not even you would let him die.
Um. . . I have everything I could want.
Here, Sheriff. Not again. . .
Let him live! Who? Guy!
Marian, what are you doing? I am asking you to reconsider.
You are helping Hood? !
Quite the opposite. I'm reminding you that Sir Guy is your most loyal servant.
My lord, please! Let him die.
He is noble, and a good man. He must be worth more to you than a sack of rocks.
I will have those rocks.
Then I will kill this man. Without him. . .
are the rocks really any use? Eh. . .no. No, they are not.
I'm the only man west of Jerusalem who can make them work their magic.
SIR GUY SCREAMS My lord! Shut up!
My lord, I will get you more rocks.
You'll be punished for this, Marian.
Be in no doubt. You'll be punished.
ROBIN SIGHS Get out.
Burn these.
You saved my life.
I'm grateful. I could not watch you die and do nothing.
You saved Robin, too. That was incidental. Was it?
Marian, I've been assuming that since Hood became an outlaw. . .
that you've had nothing further to do with him. Was I wrong to assume that? No.
Because if you were associating with an outlaw. . .
the punishment would be more severe than house arrest. The punishment. . . would be death.
Would you prefer me to have let you die?
Gisborne. Stay there!
Wait, wait! Where are you going?
I cannot work in this environment. My dear friend, we could make an arrangement to increase your fee.
In France, they know how to treat an artist.
What were you thinking? Guy is your faithful servant.
I was preventing you from making a mistake. You do not need to! You must be punished!
Well, I am ready for your punishment.
Yes. . .but is your father?
You leave him out of this! Oh, I will leave him all right - alone, to rot in a dungeon.
Until you learn to behave yourself!
No.
A toast. Just hang on.
Djaq, Will. . .
Good work, lads.
You are now, honorary members of our gang.
You are our eyes and ears in the villages.
And any time you need us. . .
. .you can call on us.
Any time you need us, call on us. That's a deal.
ALL: We are Robin Hood!
BOYS: We are Robin Hood!
The pestilence has come. She's gonna die!
No. That's not what she's got.
Dad! Set up those barricades.
Let me through! This has got nothing to do with me. Don't do this!
Someone's impersonating me.
You poison people. He's going to kill the Sheriff.
Don't I know you? You knew my dad, Dan. SHERIFF GROANS
