1. News has come from Vienna!Copy !req
2. "Leopold of Austria has seized King
Richard on his return from the Crusades.Copy !req
3. Our king is being held prisoner.
Nothing further is known.Copy !req
4. His Highness Prince John will make...Copy !req
5. further public
pronouncement tomorrow".Copy !req
6. And how are the dear Saxons
taking the news, Sir Guy?Copy !req
7. They're even more worried than
Longchamps, Your Highness.Copy !req
8. They'll be more than worried...Copy !req
9. when I squeeze the fat
out of their hides.Copy !req
10. - You intend to act on your plans?
- What better moment than this, Sir Guy?Copy !req
11. Whoever would have thought
my dear brother...Copy !req
12. would be so
considerate as to get captured...Copy !req
13. and leave all of England
to my tender care?Copy !req
14. He may disapprove when he returns,
Your Highness.Copy !req
15. If he returns.
And I'll see to it that he doesn't.Copy !req
16. We must drink to this moment, Sir Guy.
Golden days are ahead.Copy !req
17. I'll assign tax districts to you tomorrow.Copy !req
18. Tomorrow, Your Highness.Copy !req
19. - But who's gonna pay me?
- Pay! Pay!Copy !req
20. That's all you Saxons think about.Copy !req
21. Didn't I tell you it was for Prince John,
who's just come up from London?Copy !req
22. Stop! Stop!Copy !req
23. This man is freeborn!
He's a landowner.Copy !req
24. You can't make a slave of him!Copy !req
25. Didn't he refuse to send his men
to work in Guy of Gisbourne's field?Copy !req
26. But I protest...!Copy !req
27. Dickon, follow me!
The rest remain here.Copy !req
28. - What's your name, you Saxon dog?
- A better one than yours.Copy !req
29. Look to your manners!
This is Sir Guy of Gisbourne.Copy !req
30. Sir Guy or the devil!
There's little to choose between them.Copy !req
31. - What's your name?
- Much, the miller's son.Copy !req
32. - It's death to kill the king's deer?
- And death from hunger if I don't.Copy !req
33. Thanks to you and the rest of you
Norman cutthroats at Nottingham Castle.Copy !req
34. - Be quiet, you.
- I won't be quiet!Copy !req
35. You can kill me if you like,
but not until I've had my say.Copy !req
36. You can beat and starve
us Saxons now...Copy !req
37. but when King Richard escapes, he'll
take you by the scruff of the neck...Copy !req
38. and fling you into the sea!Copy !req
39. - What the devil?
- Come now, Sir Guy.Copy !req
40. - You'd kill a man for telling the truth?
- If it amused me, yes.Copy !req
41. Be thankful
my humor's of a different sort.Copy !req
42. By what right do you
interfere with justice?Copy !req
43. By a better right
than you have to misuse it.Copy !req
44. That goes for your master, Prince John.Copy !req
45. I'll give him that message at the
baron's meeting in Nottingham tonight.Copy !req
46. Thank you.
He does need a bit of a talking to.Copy !req
47. - Eh, Will?
- He has been getting rather out of hand.Copy !req
48. - Fetch him.
- Hold there. What's his fault?Copy !req
49. - He's killed a royal deer.
- You're wrong. I killed that deer.Copy !req
50. This man's my servant.Copy !req
51. Oh. I suppose you realize the penalty
for killing the king's deer is death.Copy !req
52. - Whether for serf or noble.
- Really?Copy !req
53. Are there no exceptions?Copy !req
54. - Thanks, master.
- Better look before you shoot next time.Copy !req
55. From this day, I follow only you. There
isn't a poor Saxon in Nottingham shire...Copy !req
56. that doesn't know and bless
Sir Robin of Locksley.Copy !req
57. Take me as your servant.Copy !req
58. Why, in all the forest,
there isn't a hunter as good as me.Copy !req
59. I ask no pay.
Just to follow you.Copy !req
60. Fetch the deer, then.Copy !req
61. While Richard is bent on adventure
in foreign lands...Copy !req
62. it is our duty as Normans
to preserve the realm...Copy !req
63. by giving loyal support
to Prince John...Copy !req
64. the only true defender
of the Norman spirit.Copy !req
65. Hail to Prince John.Copy !req
66. My lords, I thank you.
Well, this is what we Normans like:Copy !req
67. Good food, good company...Copy !req
68. and a beautiful woman
to flatter me, eh, Lady Marian?Copy !req
69. Was it worthwhile coming with me
from London...Copy !req
70. to see what stout fellows
our Nottingham friends are?Copy !req
71. Take Sir Guy of Gisbourne. One of our
most renowned defenders of the realm.Copy !req
72. Must I take him, Your Highness?Copy !req
73. Why, you like him, don't you?Copy !req
74. - Well, he's a Norman, of course.
- Is that the only reason for liking him?Copy !req
75. Isn't that reason enough for a royal ward
who must obey her guardian?Copy !req
76. Oh, nay, I'd not force you, my lady.Copy !req
77. But he's our most powerful friend in
these shires and he's in love with you.Copy !req
78. If I could promise him marriage
to a royal ward, it might help my plans.Copy !req
79. - Perhaps when I know him better.
- Of course.Copy !req
80. You're a very wise young woman.Copy !req
81. Any more objections to the new tax
from our Saxon friends?Copy !req
82. Objections, Your Highness?
With a Saxon dangling from every...Copy !req
83. gallows tree
between here and Charnwood?Copy !req
84. Well said, sir knight.
But not too many, mind.Copy !req
85. Else we'll have nobody left
to till our land or pay the tax.Copy !req
86. There's one exception I'd make,
Your Highness.Copy !req
87. - A certain Saxon noble.
- Who is that?Copy !req
88. - Sir Robin of Locksley.
- Sir Rob... Sir Robin of Locksley?Copy !req
89. I've heard precious little else since I've
been here. What's his latest outrage?Copy !req
90. Oh, nothing less than killing a royal deer
in Sherwood Forest today.Copy !req
91. And you didn't take him?Copy !req
92. That would have been a problem,
Your Highness.Copy !req
93. - A Saxon a problem?
- He's a notorious troublemaker, my lady.Copy !req
94. Aye.
An impudent, reckless rogue...Copy !req
95. who goes around the shire
stirring up the Saxons against authority.Copy !req
96. And he has the insolence to set himself
up as a protector of the people.Copy !req
97. I could have captured him
long ago, but...Copy !req
98. But what?Copy !req
99. Well, he's the deadliest archer
in England, and...Copy !req
100. And my brave High Sheriff
of Nottingham is afraid of him.Copy !req
101. I want him taken and hanged. At once,
do you hear? I'll not tolerate...Copy !req
102. Open the door!Copy !req
103. Who is this, this...?Copy !req
104. - Sir Robin of Locksley, Your Highness.
- Ah!Copy !req
105. Let him approach.Copy !req
106. Greetings, Your Highness.Copy !req
107. You should teach Gisbourne hospitality.Copy !req
108. I no sooner enter his castle doors
with a piece of meat...Copy !req
109. than his starving servants
try to snatch it from me.Copy !req
110. You should feed them, Gisbourne.
They'll work better.Copy !req
111. With the compliments of your royal
brother, King Richard, God bless him!Copy !req
112. By my faith, but you're a bold rascal.Copy !req
113. Robin, I like you.Copy !req
114. I'm gratified, Your Highness.Copy !req
115. I don't think Gisbourne shares
that sentiment, however.Copy !req
116. He does look sour.Copy !req
117. What's the matter, Gisbourne?
Run out of hangings?Copy !req
118. - I know a ripe subject for one.
- If you'll excuse me...Copy !req
119. Sit down! Sit down, my dear.
He'll not harm you.Copy !req
120. Sir Robin, this is
the Lady Marian Fitzwalter.Copy !req
121. I hope my lady had a pleasant journey
from London?Copy !req
122. What you hope can hardly be important.Copy !req
123. What a pity her manners
don't match her looks, Your Highness.Copy !req
124. You hear that, gentlemen?Copy !req
125. Here's Gisbourne so in love with Marian
he daren't say "boo" to her...Copy !req
126. and this saucy fellow
gives her better than she sends.Copy !req
127. My lords and ladies, I would like to
present to you Sir Robin of Locksley.Copy !req
128. Sir Robin, permit me to present to you
your host, Sir Guy of Gisbourne...Copy !req
129. and our noble guests.
- I'm deeply honored, Your Highness.Copy !req
130. - Have you had meat?
- None but what I brought.Copy !req
131. Well, sit down.
Sit down there opposite me.Copy !req
132. - Get up, Sir Ivor. Give him your place.
- Your Highness!Copy !req
133. Get up!
Get up, sir knight!Copy !req
134. Come, Sir Ivor. Out with you.Copy !req
135. Bring Sir Robin food at once,
do you hear?Copy !req
136. Such impudence must support
a mighty appetite.Copy !req
137. True enough, Your Highness.Copy !req
138. We Saxons have little to fatten on by
the time your tax gatherers are through.Copy !req
139. Be seated, gentlemen. No need
to stand on ceremony on my account.Copy !req
140. So you think you're overtaxed, eh?Copy !req
141. Overtaxed, overworked and paid off
with a knife, a club or a rope.Copy !req
142. - Why, you speak treason.
- Fluently.Copy !req
143. I advise you to curb
that wagging tongue of yours!Copy !req
144. It's a habit I've never formed.Copy !req
145. You know, we Saxons aren't gonna put
up with these oppressions much longer.Copy !req
146. Oh, you're not?
Then listen to this:Copy !req
147. As you may know, my brother
is a prisoner of Leopold of Austria.Copy !req
148. And from Leopold, I have received a
ransom demand of 150,000 gold marks.Copy !req
149. That means that you, my friends...Copy !req
150. must collect in taxes not 2 gold marks
in the pound, but 3!Copy !req
151. And the money's to be
turned over to me.Copy !req
152. Why to you, Your Highness?Copy !req
153. King Richard
appointed Longchamps regent.Copy !req
154. I've kicked Longchamps out.Copy !req
155. From now on, I am regent of England.Copy !req
156. Well, confound it,
what are you goggling at?Copy !req
157. Is it so strange that I decide to rule
when my brother's a prisoner?Copy !req
158. Who's to say I shouldn't?Copy !req
159. - You, Sir Mortimer of Leeds?
- Not I, Your Highness.Copy !req
160. - You, Sir Boron?
- Nor I, Your Highness.Copy !req
161. - You, Sir Ralf of Durham?
- My sword is yours, Your Highness.Copy !req
162. And what about our young
Saxon cockerel here?Copy !req
163. What's the matter?
Have you no stomach for honest meat?Copy !req
164. For honest meat, yes.
But I've no stomach for traitors.Copy !req
165. - You call me traitor?
- You? Yes.Copy !req
166. And every man here
who offers you allegiance.Copy !req
167. Your Highness.Copy !req
168. What do you call a man who takes
advantage of a king's misfortune...Copy !req
169. to seize his power?Copy !req
170. And now, with the help
of this sweet band of cutthroats...Copy !req
171. you'll try to grind a ransom for him
out of every helpless Saxon.Copy !req
172. A ransom that'll be used
not to release Richard...Copy !req
173. but to buy your way to the throne.Copy !req
174. Let me ram those words down
his throat, Your Highness!Copy !req
175. Oh, no. Later.
Let him spout for the moment.Copy !req
176. And what do you propose to do?Copy !req
177. I'll organize revolt.
Exact a death for a death.Copy !req
178. And I'll never rest until every Saxon
in this shire can stand up, free men...Copy !req
179. and strike a blow
for Richard and England.Copy !req
180. - Have you finished?
- I'm only just beginning.Copy !req
181. From this night on, I use every means
in my power to fight you.Copy !req
182. Dickon!Copy !req
183. Such impudence, Your Highness.
If I could only reach him.Copy !req
184. Stand back! Stand back!Copy !req
185. Open the door!Copy !req
186. Quick, guards, quick!
There's a traitor inside trying to escape!Copy !req
187. - Shut the door!
- Traitor, sir?Copy !req
188. You infernal idiot!
Which way did he go?Copy !req
189. There, through the gate.Copy !req
190. - After him!
- Guards! Horses!Copy !req
191. Dickon, follow Mansfield!
To your troop!Copy !req
192. Up you go, quick.Copy !req
193. Find Crippen
the arrow-maker and his friends...Copy !req
194. to pass the word to every man
who's been beaten or tortured:Copy !req
195. The Gallows Oaks
in Sherwood tomorrow.Copy !req
196. - Yes, master.
- Off you go, and good luck.Copy !req
197. Have it proclaimed in every village
that this Saxon Locksley's an outlaw.Copy !req
198. Hang anybody
that gives him shelter or aid.Copy !req
199. Yes, Your Highness.Copy !req
200. His possessions are forfeit to the crown.
Seize his castle and his lands.Copy !req
201. Everything he owns.Copy !req
202. And just to let the people know
how the wind has changed...Copy !req
203. the sooner you begin collecting the...
- The ransom, Your Highness?Copy !req
204. Yes, yes, of course.
The ransom.Copy !req
205. There's a death sentence
for your Robin of Locksley!Copy !req
206. I'll have him dangling in a week.Copy !req
207. - I'm tired.
- What?Copy !req
208. After a refreshing sleep
in the greenwood?Copy !req
209. I've pulled seven acorns out of my ribs.Copy !req
210. - Lovely fresh air.
- My teeth ache with chattering.Copy !req
211. - Nightingales singing.
- An owl hooting in my ear all night.Copy !req
212. Hooting?
He was singing you to sleep.Copy !req
213. There's a lusty infant. He'd be
a good one to reason into joining us.Copy !req
214. By the look of him, his
quarterstaff does his reasoning for him.Copy !req
215. - Let's see what he's made of.
- It's your skull, not mine.Copy !req
216. - Give way, little man.
- Only to a better man than myself.Copy !req
217. He stands before you.Copy !req
218. Let him pass, Robin. It's much too warm
to brawl with such a windbag.Copy !req
219. When I've brushed this fly off,
I'll give you a dusting for good measure.Copy !req
220. This fly has a mighty sting, friend.Copy !req
221. I've only a staff and you threaten me
with a longbow and a goose shaft.Copy !req
222. - Aren't you man enough...?
- Wait! I'll get myself a staff.Copy !req
223. - Ready?
- Yes.Copy !req
224. Pretty fellow, play a livelier tune that
I can make this puny rascal dance to.Copy !req
225. You need a merrier tune?
Well, how's this?Copy !req
226. Ha!Copy !req
227. Ha!Copy !req
228. If you want a lesson,
you came to the right man!Copy !req
229. - Where is he?
- Who?Copy !req
230. - This quarterstaff master.
- Here.Copy !req
231. Give my compliments to him.Copy !req
232. My friend, I should ask payment
for what I'm teaching you here today.Copy !req
233. There's something on account.Copy !req
234. There's your change.Copy !req
235. My head hums like a swarm of bees.
What's your name, friend?Copy !req
236. - John Little. What's yours?
- Robin.Copy !req
237. - Not Robin of Locksley?
- Aye.Copy !req
238. - Then I'm right glad I fell in with you.
- 'Twas he who did the falling in.Copy !req
239. I wanted to see what you were made of.
And I did.Copy !req
240. - I hope you'll not hold it against me.
- On the contrary.Copy !req
241. - I love a man that can best me.
- I'd like to join your company.Copy !req
242. You shall. If you can hold a breach
like you held that bridge...Copy !req
243. you're one of us. Welcome.Copy !req
244. - This is Will of Gamwell.
- Yeah.Copy !req
245. - He took care not to wet his feathers.
- Just brain over brawn, friend.Copy !req
246. You heard Robin's orders.
Look nippy now and spread the word.Copy !req
247. "By royal decree, Robin of Locksley...Copy !req
248. is declared an outlaw,
condemned to death".Copy !req
249. Meet Robin in Sherwood
at Gallows Oaks.Copy !req
250. "Any person aiding him will be hanged".Copy !req
251. Meet Robin in Sherwood
at Gallows Oaks.Copy !req
252. Robin in Sherwood.Copy !req
253. At the Gallows Oak.Copy !req
254. Robin in Sherwood.Copy !req
255. Robin. Gallows Oak.Copy !req
256. Gallows Oak.Copy !req
257. I've called you here as freeborn
Englishmen, loyal to our king.Copy !req
258. While he reigned over us
we lived in peace.Copy !req
259. But since Prince John has seized
the regency...Copy !req
260. Guy of Gisbourne and his traitors
have murdered and pillaged.Copy !req
261. You've all suffered from their cruelty.
The ear loppings, the beatings...Copy !req
262. the blindings with hot irons,
the burning of our homes...Copy !req
263. the mistreatment of our women.
It's time we put an end to this!Copy !req
264. - Robin's right.
- Aye!Copy !req
265. Now, this forest is wide.Copy !req
266. It can shelter, clothe and feed
a band of good, determined men...Copy !req
267. good swordsmen, good archers,
good fighters!Copy !req
268. Men, if you're willing to fight for our
people, I want you. Are you with me?Copy !req
269. Aye! Aye!Copy !req
270. Then kneel and swear this oath.Copy !req
271. That you, the freemen of this forest,
swear to despoil the rich...Copy !req
272. only to give to the poor.Copy !req
273. To shelter the old and helpless...Copy !req
274. to protect all women,
rich or poor, Norman or Saxon.Copy !req
275. Swear to fight for a free England.Copy !req
276. To protect her loyally until the return
of our king, Richard the Lion-Heart.Copy !req
277. And swear to fight to the death
against our oppressors!Copy !req
278. We do! We do solemnly swear!Copy !req
279. String him up again!Copy !req
280. - He'll die if we lash him again, my lord.
- Oh, he'll die, will he?Copy !req
281. Another one of their Saxon impudences.
They'll do anything to trick us.Copy !req
282. Continue!Copy !req
283. - Mercy, good master! Have mercy!
- Start him dancing!Copy !req
284. This will teach you to defy Prince John!Copy !req
285. Father! Father!Copy !req
286. Stop!Copy !req
287. Five men dead. Murdered.
Sir Ivor, Nigel, Baldwin, Norbert.Copy !req
288. - You don't have to name them.
- Our men can't lay a hot iron...Copy !req
289. in the eyes of a tax dodger without
getting an arrow in the throat.Copy !req
290. - He's got to be stopped!
- Have you tried to stop him?Copy !req
291. Yes, but I couldn't find him.Copy !req
292. What chance has anyone of finding him?Copy !req
293. Every villager
and woodcutter's his friend.Copy !req
294. Every runaway serf and Saxon thief
in the shire is joining him.Copy !req
295. I've sent spies in the forest
to find out his hiding place...Copy !req
296. but he strikes, and gone like a flash.
- While you stay safely at home.Copy !req
297. Do you question my valor?
Am I not commanding the force...Copy !req
298. that goes with Sir Guy and
Lady Marian to Kenworth Castle...Copy !req
299. to guard the tax money he is bringing
back, with my sword and life?Copy !req
300. I only hope this murderer
does come out of his hiding place.Copy !req
301. You hope!Copy !req
302. Enough of this wrangling! I'll lay this
outlaw by the heels when I get back.Copy !req
303. Well, well. A curtal friar,
and a mighty fat one at that.Copy !req
304. - He's the man we need. I'll enlist him.
- Be careful, Robin.Copy !req
305. That's the friar of Fountain's Abbey.
He's noted...Copy !req
306. Yeah, that's right.
Noted for his piety.Copy !req
307. A humble soul, he is,
with a heart as gentle as a lamb.Copy !req
308. - Be easy with him, master.
- Oh, I won't harm him.Copy !req
309. You stay here lest you frighten him.
Don't interfere.Copy !req
310. That's one of the most
dangerous swordsmen...Copy !req
311. Shh!Copy !req
312. Bless my soul, a miracle!Copy !req
313. Robber! Thief!
Give me back my mutton joint!Copy !req
314. Whoa!Copy !req
315. If you're a robber
you'll get nothing from me.Copy !req
316. I'm a curtal friar and vowed to poverty.Copy !req
317. If this is poverty,
I'll gladly share it with you.Copy !req
318. That's what you are doing.
Give me back my mutton joint!Copy !req
319. Not so close, my ponderous one.Copy !req
320. - I'd have a word with you.
- Well?Copy !req
321. I live in the forest with good fellows...Copy !req
322. who've everything in life
save spiritual guidance.Copy !req
323. And no merit but one.Copy !req
324. - And what's that?
- We're outlaws.Copy !req
325. Since we're newborn to the greenwood,
we need someone to do our christenings.Copy !req
326. - So we've chosen you.
- Not I.Copy !req
327. They've probably
all got your taking ways.Copy !req
328. Of course.
But you'll love them, one and all.Copy !req
329. Let's waste no more time. We'll
take the shortcut across the stream.Copy !req
330. - Come.
- I'll not. I'm happy here.Copy !req
331. - You will come.
- Ah!Copy !req
332. Now, since I don't care
to get my feet wet...Copy !req
333. you'll carry me across on your back.Copy !req
334. - On my back?
- Bend! You must learn obedience.Copy !req
335. Come on, bend.Copy !req
336. On, now!Copy !req
337. Come on! On! On! Faster!
I'll have a gallop from you yet.Copy !req
338. Come now, fat one. Why not give up?
You can see I'm a better swordsman.Copy !req
339. After I let a little air into your bellows
you'll whistle a different tune.Copy !req
340. By Our Lady,
you're the fairest swordsman I ever met.Copy !req
341. Must we go on, then?
I think we're even now, friar.Copy !req
342. Even? Nay. You're still ahead of me
by half a leg of mutton.Copy !req
343. - So...
- No. Hold there, friar. Enough.Copy !req
344. Come with me and I'll promise you
the finest venison pasty...Copy !req
345. and the biggest you ever ate.Copy !req
346. Beef, boar's head, casks of ale.Copy !req
347. If you'd said that before, you'd have
saved us both a wetting. Come along.Copy !req
348. - You'll join us?
- Aye.Copy !req
349. If only to convert you
from your thieving ways.Copy !req
350. You're Robin Hood, aren't you?Copy !req
351. The holy henchman!Copy !req
352. Hail, doubting friar!Copy !req
353. - Robin.
- Aye?Copy !req
354. He's well named Friar Tuck.Copy !req
355. It would take half the deer
in Sherwood Forest to fill that cavern.Copy !req
356. And twice that to fill your empty head.Copy !req
357. - Whoa, Will!
- What news, Will?Copy !req
358. - I've got word...
- It's all right. He's one of us.Copy !req
359. One of us?
He looks like three of us.Copy !req
360. Aye.
And equal to a full dozen.Copy !req
361. Now, now, now, now.
Friar Tuck, Will Scarlett. What's it, Will?Copy !req
362. Sir Guy of Gisbourne
is stopping by the way tonight.Copy !req
363. - Has he got the tax money?
- A fortune!Copy !req
364. - He enters Sherwood when?
- Tomorrow.Copy !req
365. We'll have to postpone that stuffing
match, but it'll be double tomorrow!Copy !req
366. Come! Back to camp, men!
Here, curb your appetite with that.Copy !req
367. - Are you ready, men?
- Aye.Copy !req
368. Aye!Copy !req
369. - See anything of them?
- Not yet.Copy !req
370. Is everything ready?Copy !req
371. They'll think they've got into
a blooming hornet's nest.Copy !req
372. There they come.Copy !req
373. Hadn't we better
send out flanking guards?Copy !req
374. What for?Copy !req
375. This is Sherwood, and Robin Hood...Copy !req
376. - Afraid of that gallows-face?
- Afraid? Certainly not, sir.Copy !req
377. But it's here that he's boldest.Copy !req
378. Don't worry. We're more
than enough to take care of him.Copy !req
379. Outlaws have no face to show
themselves against armed troops.Copy !req
380. Are you sure?
I seem to remember...Copy !req
381. He jumps out of ambush at small parties,
but he wouldn't dare to attack us.Copy !req
382. - Well, you old rooster, what do you see?
- Make ready. They're in two sections.Copy !req
383. - Do you see Sir Guy?
- He's leading the second.Copy !req
384. The treasure wagon is with him.Copy !req
385. Robin! Sir Guy and the sheriff
are watering their horses.Copy !req
386. - The advance guard's far ahead.
- Good. Little John!Copy !req
387. Take your men
and cut off the first section.Copy !req
388. - Surround the advance guard.
- Aye!Copy !req
389. Personally!Copy !req
390. - Ready, men?
- Aye, Robin!Copy !req
391. Then stand ready for the signal. Come,
Will. Come on, let's welcome Sir Guy.Copy !req
392. - Look!
- The guard! Quick!Copy !req
393. Welcome to Sherwood, my lady.Copy !req
394. What, Sir Guy, no greeting from you?
Why, that's curious.Copy !req
395. I've often heard you'd give me a
warm welcome if ever we met again.Copy !req
396. - You're permitting this without even...?
- Fighting?Copy !req
397. - I'm afraid he has no choice, my lady.
- Well, I have, you impudent rascal!Copy !req
398. You're not going to harm my lamb,
my honeysuckle.Copy !req
399. Be still, Bess.Copy !req
400. We've nothing but peaceful intentions.
Have we, men?Copy !req
401. We only want to stroke his pretty neck.Copy !req
402. - We won't harm him much.
- You see?Copy !req
403. Well, let's away.Copy !req
404. Don't bother to mark the way.
It'll take keener men than you've got...Copy !req
405. to find our camp again.
- You'll hang for this, all of you.Copy !req
406. A small price to pay for the company
of such a charming lady.Copy !req
407. What can a Saxon hedge-robber
know of charm? Or ladies?Copy !req
408. - She means you.
- Me? A hedge-robber?Copy !req
409. You must tell me more about myself.
You may have been misinformed.Copy !req
410. Perhaps, but I don't find it interesting
enough to bother about.Copy !req
411. You just harm one hair
of my lady's head...Copy !req
412. and that ugly face of yours will walk
about with no neck under it. Now, mind!Copy !req
413. - What are you staring at?
- I ain't never been out walking...Copy !req
414. with a female before.
- What female?Copy !req
415. - You.
- Well, of all the impudence!Copy !req
416. I suppose you say that to all women
that tickle your fancy.Copy !req
417. I've never tickled
a woman's fancy before.Copy !req
418. No, I've never had a sweetheart.Copy !req
419. Do you mean to say you never had one
single sweetheart in all your life?Copy !req
420. You don't know what you missed,
my lad.Copy !req
421. I've had the bands on five times.Copy !req
422. My lord! Your robes for the feast.
Hurry up, put them on.Copy !req
423. - I won't!
- You will!Copy !req
424. I will! I will!Copy !req
425. To them, this is heaven.Copy !req
426. Silks for rags, kindness instead of riches,
limitless food instead of hunger.Copy !req
427. - Why, they're actually happy.
- Are they?Copy !req
428. Aren't you even a little pleased
to see them enjoying themselves?Copy !req
429. I think it's revolting.Copy !req
430. Your life's been very sheltered, hasn't it,
my lady? Too sheltered, perhaps.Copy !req
431. But if you could know these people
as I know them.Copy !req
432. Their patience, loyalty, goodness.Copy !req
433. Friar Tuck!
These should fit Sir Guy.Copy !req
434. Me lord. Here is your raiment
for the banquet.Copy !req
435. When you've done with them,
give them to Prince John.Copy !req
436. To the tables, everybody,
and stuff yourselves!Copy !req
437. May I serve you, my lady?Copy !req
438. I'm afraid the company
has spoiled my appetite.Copy !req
439. Misfortune.
Now, mine is excellent.Copy !req
440. Ah.Copy !req
441. - A little mutton, my lady?
- I said I'm not hungry.Copy !req
442. Why, so you did. I'd forgotten.Copy !req
443. Well, you will let me know
if you regain your appetite, won't you?Copy !req
444. Friends! Friends!Copy !req
445. I'd supposed, with you, that this Sir Guy
of Gisbourne was a scurvy fellow...Copy !req
446. and a bitter enemy of ours.
And yet, look!Copy !req
447. He provides us with this tasty supper.Copy !req
448. And is this the end of his beneficence?
Why, no!Copy !req
449. For in his train today...Copy !req
450. he's brought us half a score
of boxes full of jewels and silks...Copy !req
451. and more, about 30,000 golden marks
wrested from the northern shires.Copy !req
452. - You wouldn't dare.
- Sit down!Copy !req
453. Some of you might think our host...Copy !req
454. intended this treasure
for the coffers of Prince John...Copy !req
455. instead of to ransom the king.
And you would be right.Copy !req
456. But a strange thing happened.Copy !req
457. A change of heart overtook him in the
forest, and there it is, safe and sound!Copy !req
458. - You speak of loyalty.
- Yes. Why not?Copy !req
459. I suppose you and your cutthroats
intend to send this treasure to Richard?Copy !req
460. You wouldn't dream
of keeping it yourselves.Copy !req
461. Friends! What shall we do with this
treasure? Divide it amongst ourselves?Copy !req
462. - Hold it for Richard!
- It belongs to the king!Copy !req
463. - Convinced?
- I may have been hasty...Copy !req
464. But why you, a knight...Copy !req
465. should live here like an animal,
robbing, killing, outlawed...?Copy !req
466. Are you really interested in learning
why I turned outlaw?Copy !req
467. Or are you afraid of the truth?
Or of me, perhaps?Copy !req
468. I'm afraid of nothing. Least of all of you.Copy !req
469. Good. Then come with me.Copy !req
470. Oh, so you are afraid.Copy !req
471. Sit down! Sit down!Copy !req
472. - Well, men.
- Hi!Copy !req
473. Hardly an inspiring sight
for such pretty eyes as yours, I'm sure.Copy !req
474. But these poor devils
have all had their homes burned.Copy !req
475. Their families beaten and starved
to death by your tax gatherers.Copy !req
476. - Bless you. We'll never forget you.
- Our humble thanks, master.Copy !req
477. - May we be worthy, Robin.
- You are, mother, you are.Copy !req
478. - Have you eaten well, friend?
- Yes, thanks, Robin Hood.Copy !req
479. We humbly thank you, master.Copy !req
480. I'm sorry to have to show you that.Copy !req
481. But once these poor people
were happy and contented.Copy !req
482. Just simple villagers
who never harmed a soul.Copy !req
483. And now... Tortured, eyes put out,
tongues slit, ears hacked off.Copy !req
484. They come to me for protection
against your Norman friends.Copy !req
485. But you've taken Norman lives.Copy !req
486. Yes, those that deserved it.
The cruel and unjust.Copy !req
487. You're a strange man.Copy !req
488. Strange? Because I can feel for beaten,
helpless people?Copy !req
489. No, you're strange because you want
to do something about it.Copy !req
490. You're willing to defy Sir Guy,
even Prince John himself.Copy !req
491. To risk your own life.Copy !req
492. - And one of those men was a Norman.
- Norman or Saxon. What's that matter?Copy !req
493. - It's injustice I hate, not the Normans.
- But it's lost you your rank, your lands.Copy !req
494. It's made you a hunted outlaw...Copy !req
495. when you might have
lived in comfort and security.Copy !req
496. What's your reward for all this?Copy !req
497. Reward?
You just don't understand, do you?Copy !req
498. I'm sorry.Copy !req
499. I do begin to see a little now.Copy !req
500. If you do, then that's reward enough.Copy !req
501. Now that you've robbed us and had your
fill of insulting us, we wish to leave.Copy !req
502. - Come, Lady Marian.
- My men will escort my lady.Copy !req
503. But before you leave, it might be well
if you thanked her for saving your life.Copy !req
504. My life?Copy !req
505. Do you think you'd have
left this forest alive...Copy !req
506. if it hadn't been
for her presence here?Copy !req
507. - Peter! Harold!
- Master?Copy !req
508. Take six men and guide our loyal host
and his nervous friend...Copy !req
509. to the Nottingham Road.
- But our horses, our clothes.Copy !req
510. You'll return to Nottingham
as you are, on foot.Copy !req
511. This, Sir Guy, will at least be a lesson
to you in humility, if not in mercy.Copy !req
512. - Your people will be returned tomorrow.
- But the lady Marian.Copy !req
513. You'd best be started
before I have a change of mind.Copy !req
514. I think we'd better go.Copy !req
515. Now, my lady.Copy !req
516. Friar Tuck! Little John!Copy !req
517. Take the lady
to the Abbey of the Black Canons...Copy !req
518. so tomorrow the bishop
can escort her the rest of the way.Copy !req
519. - Oh, master, may I go too?
- With your permission, my lady?Copy !req
520. Goodbye, my lady.Copy !req
521. Goodbye.Copy !req
522. - He took everything you collected?
- Every silver penny.Copy !req
523. And you two nincompoops sat there
and let him do it.Copy !req
524. - Oh, we resisted as well as we could.
- Where are your wounds? Your bruises?Copy !req
525. - And where are your men?
- What did Your Highness expect?Copy !req
526. With the Lady Marian in our company
and Locksley's men outnumbering us.Copy !req
527. And not an arrow wound to divide
among them, I suppose.Copy !req
528. And more than 30,000 marks
in the hands of that wolf's head.Copy !req
529. That fellow's got to be taken.
Understand?Copy !req
530. And how does Your Highness suggest
that he be taken?Copy !req
531. - If I may be so bold as to inquire?
- Mind your words, Gisbourne.Copy !req
532. You're fortunate not to be paying
for this with your head.Copy !req
533. Your Highness, sir, I could muster
an army and surround Sherwood.Copy !req
534. - You couldn't capture him...
- Mind your words.Copy !req
535. if he sat in your lap
shooting arrows at a crow.Copy !req
536. Arrows! Arrows!Copy !req
537. - He said shooting arrows at a crow.
- Take that silly looking bonnet off.Copy !req
538. That stirs something in my mind.
Perhaps we can't take him by force.Copy !req
539. He's too well protected. Knows
Sherwood's hidden paths well. But...Copy !req
540. - But what?
- We'll outwit him.Copy !req
541. We'll hold an archery tournament!Copy !req
542. Archery tour...Copy !req
543. And have him fly in on the end of one
of his own arrows? That's marvelous.Copy !req
544. He's the finest archer in the North.
Think he'd forgo shooting...Copy !req
545. against the archers of all England?
We'll give a prize. Say, a golden arrow.Copy !req
546. And ask him to risk his neck for that?Copy !req
547. That won't be the only bait...Copy !req
548. with the Lady Marian presenting
the arrow herself.Copy !req
549. What do you mean?Copy !req
550. When they came out of the forest,
she seemed very friendly.Copy !req
551. And didn't you notice
how his eyes never left her?Copy !req
552. - Yes, yes, I noticed.
- Well, then!Copy !req
553. - Well, then, how do we get word to him?
- Get word to Robin...Copy !req
554. who has an eye in every bush
and ears in every wall?Copy !req
555. But even if he comes,
won't he be disguised?Copy !req
556. Whether he be dressed as priest,
beggar, knight...Copy !req
557. palmer, what disguise can conceal
the finest archer in England?Copy !req
558. The man who wins the golden arrow
will be Robin Hood.Copy !req
559. Will you take that bonnet off?Copy !req
560. I hope our little golden hook
will catch the fish.Copy !req
561. - You hope?
- Oh, it will if he's here.Copy !req
562. If he's not, we'll stick your head
upon the target and shoot at that.Copy !req
563. - Are your men sure of their orders?
- Yes.Copy !req
564. They're stationed all around the field.
Even a worm couldn't get through.Copy !req
565. You talk as if this were a trap.Copy !req
566. No, my dear. Just a precaution in case
the Saxons create a disturbance.Copy !req
567. By orders of His Highness Prince John...Copy !req
568. the champions
of Sir Guy and the knights...Copy !req
569. will be limited to three flights
of arrows for the eliminations.Copy !req
570. The winning team will meet all comers.Copy !req
571. - You know it's a trap.
- A golden arrow, from the lady herself.Copy !req
572. - They've cooked this up to take you.
- Well, what of it?Copy !req
573. - You know what'll happen if they do.
- Where's your sporting blood?Copy !req
574. Sir Guy accepted our invitation.
We'd be rude not to accept his.Copy !req
575. - It'd be ruder to get your neck stretched.
- There, my band getting fat and overfed.Copy !req
576. Where's your love of fights,
risk, adventure?Copy !req
577. Since our friend seems to have gone
a little mad, I'll have to see him through.Copy !req
578. We'll have to see him through.Copy !req
579. Prepare final flight.Copy !req
580. Does my lady find it interesting?
Lady Marian?Copy !req
581. - Oh, I'm sorry.
- I asked if you found it interesting.Copy !req
582. Yes, very.
They're splendid archers.Copy !req
583. You'll find it much more
interesting later on.Copy !req
584. The winning team will compete
as individuals.Copy !req
585. Captain Phillip of Arras.Copy !req
586. Elwyn the Welshman.
Matt of Sleaford.Copy !req
587. They now challenge all comers.Copy !req
588. The men who'd shoot against that lot
have to have the eyes of a falcon.Copy !req
589. They're far too good for me.
I'm not shooting today.Copy !req
590. Remaining archers will use
center target.Copy !req
591. Matt of Sleaford, out!Copy !req
592. Elwyn the Welshman, out!Copy !req
593. - Ah! The tall tinker.
- Now is the time.Copy !req
594. Not so hasty, Sir Guy. I'm enjoying
myself. Let them finish the match.Copy !req
595. - But he could...
- Have your men close in if you wish.Copy !req
596. Look.Copy !req
597. Yeah, they're closing in.
I hope Robin sees them.Copy !req
598. I must commend Your Highness
for the subtlety of your scheme.Copy !req
599. Very good. Would you say you'd seen
that tall fellow before?Copy !req
600. And if I had, what interest
could a tinker have for me?Copy !req
601. Phillip of Arras shoots next.Copy !req
602. Tie!
You will be allowed another flight.Copy !req
603. Target's a deal too close. Can we have
it removed to a fit distance to shoot at?Copy !req
604. Another 20 paces!Copy !req
605. If your archer captain
wins at that distance...Copy !req
606. I'll give you
1000 gold marks for him.Copy !req
607. Win or lose, I'll give him
to Your Highness for a favor.Copy !req
608. Provided you let me deal
with this wolf's head in my own way.Copy !req
609. Done. I'm leaving for Norwich right
after the tournament anyway...Copy !req
610. so you may do what you please
with him.Copy !req
611. Why, he can't win now.
No living man could beat that shot.Copy !req
612. I'll wager 100 marks on Phillip of Arras!Copy !req
613. He split Phillip's arrow.Copy !req
614. The tinker wins! He wins!Copy !req
615. - What is your name, archer?
- Godfrey of Sherwood, Your Highness.Copy !req
616. How is it that a tinker learned so well
the use of arms?Copy !req
617. Even a peaceful tinker...Copy !req
618. must protect himself these days
from treachery and other things.Copy !req
619. It's earned you more
than you bargained for today.Copy !req
620. I pronounce you champion archer
of England.Copy !req
621. From the gracious hand of Lady Marian
Fitzwalter, you'll receive your reward.Copy !req
622. Advance.Copy !req
623. I... Here is your prize, sir archer.Copy !req
624. It's indeed an honor to receive it
from the hands of so beautiful a lady.Copy !req
625. - How is it you didn't use a black arrow?
- That's my court of last resort, Sir Guy.Copy !req
626. - Its verdict is always final.
- Arrest this man!Copy !req
627. That's a good idea.Copy !req
628. You're a very rash young man.Copy !req
629. And I'm sorry I can't be in Nottingham to
see what Gisbourne has in store for you.Copy !req
630. - It'll be something special, I'm sure.
- I'm sure.Copy !req
631. Sorry I underestimated you.
Next time perhaps...Copy !req
632. There'll be no next time.
Take him away!Copy !req
633. "Robin of Locksley. Known to
some as the outlaw Robin Hood.Copy !req
634. After trial, in which you did not produce
one witness in your behalf...Copy !req
635. you've been found guilty of outlawry,
murder, abduction...Copy !req
636. false pretenses,
contempt of the Crown...Copy !req
637. poaching in forests
and high treason".Copy !req
638. Haven't you forgotten
a count or two?Copy !req
639. Surely it's a crime under the noble
Prince John to love one's country.Copy !req
640. To protect serfs from injustice
and be loyal to one's king.Copy !req
641. If I could add anything to the charges
against you, I would most gladly do so.Copy !req
642. "It is the sentence of this tribunal, on
the morrow at high noon you be taken...Copy !req
643. to the square in Nottingham and there
hanged by the neck until you are dead".Copy !req
644. There may be some who will regret
that a man of your peculiar talents...Copy !req
645. should be cut off so early in life. But...Copy !req
646. You think the sentence extremely
lenient. Thank you.Copy !req
647. What's troubling you, my lady?
Is it the outlaw?Copy !req
648. Yes. I hate to see a human
being trapped...Copy !req
649. Bess, you know where his men
may be found, don't you?Copy !req
650. - Why, my lady, how should I know?
- Don't put me off.Copy !req
651. That little man who liked you.
You've been seeing him?Copy !req
652. - Yes, my lady.
- Tell me where.Copy !req
653. - Do you want to send a message?
- To his men, yes.Copy !req
654. Well, my lady, I have had a nip of ale
of a night, just now and again...Copy !req
655. at a place in the town and I won't
deny as some of the others were there.Copy !req
656. Where was it?
Oh, Bess, please tell me!Copy !req
657. It was a tavern, my lady.
The Saracen's Head in Pilgrim Court.Copy !req
658. - The landlord's name is Humility Prin.
- Humility Prin.Copy !req
659. Knock at the door and say,
"A Locksley".Copy !req
660. - "A Locksley".
- Yes, but...Copy !req
661. Get me a cloak, quickly!Copy !req
662. Yes, madame. Oh, dear...Copy !req
663. - But there must be some way...
- Couldn't we storm the place?Copy !req
664. Why, you'd need an army
with a battering ram to even dent it.Copy !req
665. Aye, he'll be hanged for sure.Copy !req
666. Maybe Little John's right.
Perhaps we...Copy !req
667. A Locksley.Copy !req
668. - What is it, Prin?
- A lady, sir. The Lady Marian.Copy !req
669. - What?
- It's a trap, Will. Watch those windows.Copy !req
670. She has the password, all right.Copy !req
671. - Is she alone?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
672. Fetch her in.Copy !req
673. - What do you want, my lady?
- I want to help him.Copy !req
674. - How did you find us here?
- Never mind that now.Copy !req
675. Please don't stand there staring.
Tell me what I can do.Copy !req
676. - Don't trust her. It's a trick.
- Would I come alone if it were a trap?Copy !req
677. What's to prevent your killing me if...?Copy !req
678. Is there no one here
with sense enough to see?Copy !req
679. One moment.Copy !req
680. We have to make sure, my child.
You're a good daughter of the church?Copy !req
681. You swear by Our Lady
that you want to help Robin?Copy !req
682. I swear, good Father.Copy !req
683. - Have you thought of a way?
- Yes.Copy !req
684. - Can you get us in the castle?
- That's no good. He's heavily guarded.Copy !req
685. But I thought of another way.
Listen.Copy !req
686. - This is a rare treat, isn't it, my lady?
- Yes, isn't it?Copy !req
687. With Locksley out of the way,
we'll stamp out the rest.Copy !req
688. Won't it be a pleasant surprise
for Prince John when he returns?Copy !req
689. To think that I was once foolish enough
to believe that you rather liked him.Copy !req
690. Why, your hand is trembling.Copy !req
691. We Saxons won't forget you,
Robin Hood!Copy !req
692. Take him to the gallows.Copy !req
693. Take him up there.Copy !req
694. He'll not be so insolent
when they've stretched his neck.Copy !req
695. Get ready.Copy !req
696. Stop him!Copy !req
697. Stop! Guards!Copy !req
698. Friar Tuck! Much!Copy !req
699. - Here we are, sir!
- Here, safe and sound!Copy !req
700. Back to camp!Copy !req
701. Robin! Where are you?Copy !req
702. Here I am. Stand by!Copy !req
703. He is different
from anyone I've ever known.Copy !req
704. He's, well, he's brave and he's reckless,
and yet he's gentle and kind.Copy !req
705. He's not brutal like...Copy !req
706. Tell me, when you are in love, is it...Copy !req
707. well, is it hard to think of anybody
but one person?Copy !req
708. Yes, indeed, and sometimes
there's a bit of trouble sleeping.Copy !req
709. I know,
but it's a nice kind of not sleeping.Copy !req
710. Yes, and it affects your appetite too.Copy !req
711. Not that I've noticed
it's done that to you...Copy !req
712. except when he was
waiting to be hanged.Copy !req
713. Does it make you want
to be with him all the time?Copy !req
714. Yes. And when he's with you,
your legs are weak as water.Copy !req
715. Tell me, my lady, when he looks at you,
do you feel a kind of prickly feeling...Copy !req
716. like goosy pimples running
all up and down your spine?Copy !req
717. - Then there's not a doubt of it.
- Doubt of what?Copy !req
718. That you're in love!Copy !req
719. What do you want?Copy !req
720. Robin!Copy !req
721. - I must say. I must say!
- Keep quiet, Bess.Copy !req
722. Are you completely mad?Copy !req
723. - Why did you come here?
- To see you.Copy !req
724. But don't you realize that...?Copy !req
725. My men told me what you did for me,
so I've come to thank you.Copy !req
726. And after what I couldn't help
overhearing about that prickly feeling...Copy !req
727. I'm very glad I did come.Copy !req
728. That was a game.
Now, you've got to go at once!Copy !req
729. A game?
Well, couldn't I join in?Copy !req
730. Of course, I probably wouldn't be
as good at it as this pretty young girl.Copy !req
731. But I could do my best.Copy !req
732. Bess, will you leave us?Copy !req
733. Please!Copy !req
734. Now, let's see,
where does this game begin?Copy !req
735. Oh, I know. It's simple.
We'll start where you're in love with me.Copy !req
736. You are, aren't you?
Because I am with you, terribly.Copy !req
737. That's why I came.
I had to see you again.Copy !req
738. You must go at once.
And I don't love you.Copy !req
739. - Oh! Are you sure?
- Yes.Copy !req
740. Very well then, I'll go.Copy !req
741. This is rather unfriendly of you,
exposing me to my enemies like this.Copy !req
742. Let me see. There's a fat old captain
of the guard down there with bow legs.Copy !req
743. If I drop on him
that'll bend them out worse.Copy !req
744. An archer! He's too thin.
I might miss him altogether.Copy !req
745. - Robin!
- The very thing.Copy !req
746. Five men-at-arms in a group.
They'll break the fall beautifully.Copy !req
747. - Goodbye, my lady!
- Robin!Copy !req
748. - Yes?
- Please.Copy !req
749. Then you do love me? Don't you?Copy !req
750. - Don't you?
- You know I do.Copy !req
751. Well, that's different.Copy !req
752. - Do you know you're very impudent?
- Me?Copy !req
753. You are!Copy !req
754. When my guardian, King Richard, finds
out about your being in love with me...Copy !req
755. - I know, he'll make me court jester.
- He won't!Copy !req
756. He'll stick your funny head
on London Gate.Copy !req
757. And a fine decoration it will be,
my bold Norman beauty.Copy !req
758. - I'm not bold.
- Well, you're Norman.Copy !req
759. Well, I don't hold that against you.
And you are a beauty.Copy !req
760. - You're the most beautiful...
- You're leaving at once.Copy !req
761. Please, darling, every minute
you're here you're in danger.Copy !req
762. I'll go.Copy !req
763. - Marian, will you come with me?
- To Sherwood?Copy !req
764. I've nothing to offer you but a life of
hardship and danger...Copy !req
765. but we'd be together.Copy !req
766. - But, Robin, dear...
- It's asking a lot, but who knows...Copy !req
767. how long it'll be
before Richard returns.Copy !req
768. Friar Tuck could marry us. Will you?Copy !req
769. Because I love you, Robin, I'd come.Copy !req
770. Even the danger would mean nothing
if you were with me.Copy !req
771. Then you will?Copy !req
772. No. Listen to me, darling. You
remember that day in Sherwood Forest?Copy !req
773. I realized then for the first time
that what you were doing was right...Copy !req
774. and that we were wrong.Copy !req
775. No, let me finish.Copy !req
776. You taught me England
is bigger than Normans and Saxons...Copy !req
777. fighting and hating each other.Copy !req
778. That it belongs to all of us,
to live peacefully together...Copy !req
779. loyal only to Richard and to England.Copy !req
780. But, darling, you could help.Copy !req
781. I could help much more
by watching for treachery here...Copy !req
782. and leaving you free to protect
Richard's people until he returns.Copy !req
783. Now do you see why
you have to go back to your men alone?Copy !req
784. Go now, quickly, dearest.Copy !req
785. - Goodbye, darling.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
786. - Goodbye, my love.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
787. - You gentlemen have traveled far?
- Yes, quite a distance.Copy !req
788. I'm sorry I can't give you better food.Copy !req
789. - There is little left to us these days.
- This will be enough.Copy !req
790. The inn at Luton was well supplied.
How is that?Copy !req
791. Ah. That's a Norman inn.Copy !req
792. But it's an outrage!
I'll complain to Prince John.Copy !req
793. I'll have this rascal's ears,
no matter how. Dares to rob me!Copy !req
794. Strip my person of jewels!Copy !req
795. What's this country coming to...Copy !req
796. when a churchman
can't travel the forest in safety?Copy !req
797. - Who's he?
- The Bishop of the Black Canons.Copy !req
798. - Do you wish to go on after dinner?
- No. We can't reach the abbey tonight.Copy !req
799. - I'll stay. Tend to the horses.
- Yes, Your Grace.Copy !req
800. - Bring food to us!
- Yes, Your Grace, at once!Copy !req
801. It's no longer safe to journey anywhere.
Robbers at every turn of the road.Copy !req
802. - What happened, Your Grace?
- I told you! We've been robbed.Copy !req
803. Not a chance to defend ourselves.
They burst on us from ambush.Copy !req
804. - Who did?
- Why, Robin Hood, of course.Copy !req
805. There's no other
with impudence enough.Copy !req
806. Robin Hood again, sire.Copy !req
807. - You've heard of him, then?
- Oh, he seems well known hereabouts.Copy !req
808. - Oh, then you're strange to this shire?
- More or less.Copy !req
809. What might be your names, gentlemen?Copy !req
810. They're hardly important enough
to deserve your interest.Copy !req
811. - Landlord, where's our ale?
- Coming, sirs.Copy !req
812. Will you gentlemen
be remaining here tonight?Copy !req
813. We hadn't decided, Your Grace.
What would you advise?Copy !req
814. Well, there's so much danger on
the road, you'd be far safer here.Copy !req
815. We will then, since we'll have
the added pleasure of your company.Copy !req
816. I should like to stay, but I recollected
some urgent affairs at my abbey.Copy !req
817. Some other time, or perhaps you would
break your journey...Copy !req
818. and sup with me tomorrow.
- Your Grace is too kind.Copy !req
819. Then I bid you good evening, gentlemen,
and God speed you in the morning.Copy !req
820. Thank you. Good night.Copy !req
821. The window!Copy !req
822. Are there beds prepared, landlord?Copy !req
823. Let's to sleep, then. I'm tired.Copy !req
824. - I'm afraid he suspects, sire.
- I fear so.Copy !req
825. His Grace is a Norman.Copy !req
826. Did you see the fear on the
landlord's face when he came in?Copy !req
827. I've seen it in the faces
of thousands since we returned.Copy !req
828. I ought never to have left England.Copy !req
829. I noticed when Robin Hood's
name is mentioned...Copy !req
830. The mysterious outlaw
whom we have sought.Copy !req
831. In vain. However, the bishop
didn't have any difficulty meeting him.Copy !req
832. Which gives me an idea.Copy !req
833. - And you're sure it was Richard?
- No doubt of it.Copy !req
834. How like my dear brother this is!Copy !req
835. He couldn't rot in Durnstein
like any decent man.Copy !req
836. - But Richard has no army.
- No, Your Highness.Copy !req
837. - If he had, we should have heard of it.
- If my brother were to be killed...Copy !req
838. - England would have a new king.
- That would be murder! I'll have no part...Copy !req
839. You'll do as you're told! That's
very simple. Keep your mouth closed.Copy !req
840. Your Highness, I beg of you!Copy !req
841. How long will you retain your abbey
if Richard survives to find out...Copy !req
842. what you've been up to
these years he's been away?Copy !req
843. Go on, Gisbourne. Who's to...?Copy !req
844. Dickon was a knight before
your brother hacked off his spurs...Copy !req
845. over some little mischance.Copy !req
846. There's nothing he wouldn't do for
a king who'd restore him to rank.Copy !req
847. - You don't love my brother, I hear.
- I have little reason to, Your Highness.Copy !req
848. - You know this tavern?
- Yes.Copy !req
849. If Richard dies...Copy !req
850. Dickon returns to the roll of English
knights. Am I not right?Copy !req
851. With the manor and estate
of Robin of Locksley to support his rank.Copy !req
852. - When shall I start?
- Now. How many men will you need?Copy !req
853. I shall do it better alone, Your Highness.Copy !req
854. The sooner you're crowned king...Copy !req
855. The better for my friends?
You're a clever fellow, Gisbourne.Copy !req
856. Thank you, Your Majesty.Copy !req
857. Return to your abbey and make
preparations to proclaim me king...Copy !req
858. here in Nottingham,
the day after tomorrow.Copy !req
859. Do you suppose she heard?Copy !req
860. I don't know.Copy !req
861. Now you know why Robin's got to find
King Richard at once and warn him.Copy !req
862. Take this note
to Much at Saracen's Head.Copy !req
863. My lady's hearing
is a little defective tonight.Copy !req
864. When you knock at a lady's door as
if it were a tavern, you deserve to wait.Copy !req
865. You seem upset.Copy !req
866. Upset? Why should I be?Copy !req
867. Oh, come now, my dear Lady Marian.
You've played the innocent long enough.Copy !req
868. - Let's be frank with one another.
- I don't see the need.Copy !req
869. You're charming, but not exactly
clever. You couldn't have failed...Copy !req
870. to overhear what Prince John
and I were talking about.Copy !req
871. Oh, no, no, no.
Please don't trouble to deny it.Copy !req
872. And your first thought, as Richard's
loyal ward, was to warn him.Copy !req
873. - Am I not right?
- Why, how could I warn Richard?Copy !req
874. How did Locksley and his men
arrange his escape...Copy !req
875. from hanging after the archery match?Copy !req
876. Someone here in the castle
must have got word to him.Copy !req
877. That's ridiculous!Copy !req
878. When Richard's in danger,
what more natural...Copy !req
879. than that you should try
to warn him through Locksley?Copy !req
880. And you do intend to
warn him, don't you?Copy !req
881. - Don't you?
- No!Copy !req
882. If that's true, perhaps
you'd explain before Prince John...Copy !req
883. and the Court of Execution
the meaning of this.Copy !req
884. Guard!Copy !req
885. Escort my Lady Marian to the Great Hall.Copy !req
886. Not only has she consorted with
this Saxon rebel...Copy !req
887. found guilty of outlawry, theft,
murder, abduction and high treason...Copy !req
888. but she has betrayed
her own Norman people.Copy !req
889. Are you not ashamed, my Lady Marian?Copy !req
890. Yes, I am. Bitterly. But it's a shame
that I'm a Norman...Copy !req
891. after seeing the things my fellow
countrymen have done to England.Copy !req
892. At first I wouldn't believe. Because I was
a Norman I wouldn't let myself believe...Copy !req
893. that the horrors you inflicted
on the Saxons weren't just.Copy !req
894. I know now why you tried so hard
to kill this outlaw whom you despised.Copy !req
895. It's because he was the one man
in England who protected the helpless...Copy !req
896. against beasts
drunk on human blood!Copy !req
897. And now you intend
to murder your own brother!Copy !req
898. You'll be sorry you interfered.Copy !req
899. Sorry? I'd do it again if you kill me for it.Copy !req
900. A prophetic speech, my lady, for that is
exactly what is going to happen to you.Copy !req
901. You wouldn't dare.Copy !req
902. I'm the royal ward of King Richard
and no one but the king himself...Copy !req
903. has the right to condemn me to death.Copy !req
904. You are quite right, my dear.Copy !req
905. And it shall be a king who will order
your execution for high treason...Copy !req
906. exactly 48 hours from now.Copy !req
907. Take her away.Copy !req
908. - You got it all in your stupid head now?
- Of course I have.Copy !req
909. Well, give Robin the whole message
exactly like I told it to you.Copy !req
910. Bess, where was Dickon
supposed to find King Richard?Copy !req
911. Oh, never mind him!Copy !req
912. What do I care about
your kings and thrones and such?Copy !req
913. Robin has gotta do something
to save my baby!Copy !req
914. Come on, old girl.
Robin will look after her, all right.Copy !req
915. - Where's Dickon heading for?
- Kent Road Tavern.Copy !req
916. Kent Road Tavern?Copy !req
917. You can save three miles
and cut him off through Low Wood.Copy !req
918. Come on, lass,
give us a kiss and wish me luck.Copy !req
919. Hurry up and take
your ugly face out of here.Copy !req
920. Oh, Much.
Oh, you will be careful, won't you?Copy !req
921. Of course I will.Copy !req
922. Greetings, sir abbot!Copy !req
923. - You've traveled far this morning?
- Too far to be patient with delay now.Copy !req
924. Perhaps it's the weight of your purse
that wearies you. I can remedy that.Copy !req
925. If it weighs more than a just amount I'll
share it with those who have less.Copy !req
926. You think I hand my purse
to every rough lout who asks for it?Copy !req
927. You see, sir abbot?Copy !req
928. We're poor outlaws,
with nothing to eat but the king's deer...Copy !req
929. while you have property,
rents, and silver. So your purse!Copy !req
930. I traveled far on the king's business.
The silver I have left...Copy !req
931. equals no more than 60 marks.Copy !req
932. What? Are you
friendly to our good King Richard?Copy !req
933. I love no man better.Copy !req
934. By that speech
you save half your money.Copy !req
935. Give me 30 marks for the poor.
The rest you may keep.Copy !req
936. Then I can go free?Copy !req
937. Any friend of Richard's
is free of this forest.Copy !req
938. Would you honor us
by sharing meat with us?Copy !req
939. - Gladly.
- Then come.Copy !req
940. - Well, sir rascal, tell me, who are you?
- I'm called Robin Hood.Copy !req
941. It seems I've heard of you.Copy !req
942. - Nothing good, I hope.
- Oh, now I remember!Copy !req
943. How does your loyalty
to Richard set on a killer of knights...Copy !req
944. a poacher of the king's deer
and an outlaw?Copy !req
945. Those I kill died from misusing
the trust that Richard left them.Copy !req
946. And the worst rogue of these
is the king's own brother.Copy !req
947. - Oh, then you blame Prince John.
- No, I blame Richard.Copy !req
948. His task was defending his people...Copy !req
949. instead of deserting them
to fight in foreign lands.Copy !req
950. What?
You'd condemn Holy Crusades?Copy !req
951. I'll condemn anything that leaves
the task of holding England...Copy !req
952. to outlaws like me.Copy !req
953. Much!Copy !req
954. - Much, what's happened to you?
- Take me to Robin, quick!Copy !req
955. - Much, what's happened?
- King Richard's in England. In Sherwood!Copy !req
956. What?Copy !req
957. Prince John sent Dickon to Kent Road
Tavern last night to kill the king.Copy !req
958. - Take 50 men to the Kent Road Tavern...
- No need, master, no need.Copy !req
959. I headed Dickon off.
He ain't gonna murder no one no more.Copy !req
960. - But the king? Where is he?
- I don't know, master.Copy !req
961. Men, Richard must be found.Copy !req
962. He must be brought here for safety.Copy !req
963. Little John, take a party
and scour the country.Copy !req
964. Friar Tuck, into the town.
Will, search every inn and cottage.Copy !req
965. Don't rest, day or night,
until he's found. Understand?Copy !req
966. You don't need to
search for Richard, Robin.Copy !req
967. He's in good hands. The best in England.Copy !req
968. What do you mean? Where is he?Copy !req
969. Here!Copy !req
970. Sire.Copy !req
971. All these have remained loyal.Copy !req
972. Rise, Sir Robin.Copy !req
973. Rise, men of Sherwood.Copy !req
974. Sire, Prince John's calling
Bishop of the Black Canons...Copy !req
975. to proclaim him king
in Nottingham tomorrow.Copy !req
976. - How'd you learn this?
- Lady Marian. She overheard.Copy !req
977. They've taken her for treason.Copy !req
978. She's been condemned
to the block for warning us.Copy !req
979. He wouldn't dare
execute the king's ward.Copy !req
980. You underestimate him.Copy !req
981. To save her and your throne,
we've got to act now!Copy !req
982. By attacking Nottingham castle?Copy !req
983. Without an army it'll be much
too strong. Your men will be killed.Copy !req
984. If the Bishop of the Black Canons
is performing the ceremony tomorrow...Copy !req
985. suppose we visit him
at his abbey tonight...Copy !req
986. and persuade him to suggest a way.Copy !req
987. Brace up. Smile!Copy !req
988. Wider!Copy !req
989. Still sure it wasn't you who
warned my brother I was in England?Copy !req
990. Why, sire, believe me, I...Copy !req
991. Your Grace, smile!Copy !req
992. You'll sweat the lard
off your fat carcass...Copy !req
993. before this day's over,
my pudgy friend.Copy !req
994. And I hope some Norman sword
whittles you down to size!Copy !req
995. Oh, Lord, we beseech thee.Copy !req
996. Sanctify this thy servant,
our royal Prince John.Copy !req
997. Enrich his noble heart and bestow
upon him all princely virtues.Copy !req
998. Amen.Copy !req
999. No news of Richard.Copy !req
1000. No. None, Your Highness.Copy !req
1001. Then Dickon must have...Copy !req
1002. Sir Dickon, Your Highness.Copy !req
1003. Of course. Of course.Copy !req
1004. We are ready for the ceremony,
Your Majesty.Copy !req
1005. Remember.Copy !req
1006. By what authority do you,
John Lackland, Prince of England...Copy !req
1007. claim to be crowned this day,
sovereign of the realm...Copy !req
1008. and as defender of the Holy Sepulcher,
to receive the blessing of the church?Copy !req
1009. By right of blood succession.
According to the law of the realm.Copy !req
1010. Is it of your own free will
that you thus depose your brother...Copy !req
1011. Richard the Lion-Heart of England?Copy !req
1012. Richard no longer exists!Copy !req
1013. From this moment forward,
I, John, am king of England!Copy !req
1014. Aren't you a little premature, brother?Copy !req
1015. Richard! The Lion-Heart!Copy !req
1016. He's lying! He's an imposter!Copy !req
1017. - The king lives!
- Men of Sherwood!Copy !req
1018. Robin Hood!Copy !req
1019. It's a trick of the outlaws!
Kill him! Seize him!Copy !req
1020. Did I upset your plans?Copy !req
1021. You've come to Nottingham
once too often!Copy !req
1022. When this is over, there'll be
no need for me to come again.Copy !req
1023. Your sword, Gisbourne.Copy !req
1024. - Know any prayers, my friend?
- I'll say one for you!Copy !req
1025. Save yourself, Robin!Copy !req
1026. The door, quick!
Quick, or I'll trim that beard for you!Copy !req
1027. But, Richard, Richard! I thought...Copy !req
1028. - You thought I was murdered!
- Oh, no, no.Copy !req
1029. I didn't mean to...
After all, Richard, I am your brother.Copy !req
1030. Yes, sire, he is your brother.Copy !req
1031. Yes, my brother.Copy !req
1032. I could forgive you if your treachery
were against me and not my subjects.Copy !req
1033. I banish you and your followers from
England for the remainder of my lifetime.Copy !req
1034. Take them away.
See that they leave England.Copy !req
1035. I further banish from my realm
all injustices and oppressions...Copy !req
1036. which have burdened my people.
And I pray that under my rule...Copy !req
1037. Normans and Saxons alike
will share the rights of Englishmen.Copy !req
1038. Long live Richard the Lion-Heart!Copy !req
1039. What about you, Robin?Copy !req
1040. My sword is yours,
sire, now and always.Copy !req
1041. Is there nothing I
can grant the outlaw...Copy !req
1042. who showed him
his duty to his country?Copy !req
1043. Yes, Your Majesty,
a pardon for the men of Sherwood.Copy !req
