Robin Hood

You realising how difficult life can be in the forest?

How long have you and your men been following me?

You're jumpy.

Answer me!

Gisborne, I have better things to do with my day.

I'm alone. TWIG SNAPS

Very well.

Really?

You're really sure you want to do this now?

Why not? What, honestly?

I don't think you have the energy. I don't need food or sleep to drive me.

Then what do you need? Revenge.

On who? Prince John? Prince John will keep.

Isabella will not. Neither will you.

Gisborne? Ah!

WOLF HOWLS

What is this?

Who's done this? Hood? No.

Where are you?

You're a coward to take us like this.Show yourself!

Gisborne.

Who sent you? Prince John?No, this is one of your sister's tricks.

What would Isabella want with us?

I want you to listen and understand.

Someone's life depends on it.

I find it hard to understand when I'm tied.

Now free me! I'll free you.

Free you from the bad blood that shackles you to each other.

Well, maybe there are good reasons for that bad blood.

What do you know about our lives, anyway?

More than you do.

I know the truth.

The truth about what? About how your parents really died.

My father's inside!

Yours, too! And your mother! Do something!

You know about the fire.

So? It was never a secret.

Everybody knew that we both became orphans that day.

There are still things you don't know about your past.

Oh, Ghislaine, I've been thinking about you all day.

We do not have much time, but if you wish to talk, then...

Oh! Oh, I look forward to the day when we no longer have to hide

in stables and outhouses to do this. Not long now, my love.

My father loved one woman only, and that was my mother.

That's just what you were told.

The truth was kept from you by your precious father.

What are you talking about?!

He shielded you from reality like he always did.

You were never made to face the consequences of your actions.

You were once on a very different path, Robin.

Robin, come and give Swain a hand! Yes, Father.

Guy, Isabella, come with me.

Ladies and gentlemen!

I am so pleased you decided to join me

in celebrating the safe return of our men from the Holy Land.

Sadly, not everyone was able to make the journey back

and I would ask that we think also of our loved ones who died on this day.

As you know, I feel your pain as it is my own,

my own husband being among the dead.

My Lady Gisborne.

As bailiff of these parts, it's my duty to ask who will now be lord of the manor.

Longthorn! Now is not the time. No. He's right to ask.

There will be no lord.

Instead, there will be a lady of the manor.

So...

we're expected to serve a woman.

A French woman.

The land should be returned to Lord Locksley.

Longthorn! This village was awarded

to your husband for his services in the Holy Land.

Now he is dead, it's your right to reclaim them.

A right I will not be exercising.

Sir Roger fought and died for an English King.

His family should be respected.

To Sir Roger of Gisborne. Sir Roger of Gisborne!

Now, to celebrate those who have returned

and to honour those who have not,

I want you to join me in enjoying something

the men have brought back from their travels.

The Fire Wheel will light our skies

to show us that our darkest days are now behind us.

Now, I need two strong men to lift the wheel,

and thetwo best archers in the county.

Robin, will you help me?

And Guy? Father, may I?

Robin... I want to make the shot.

And you will, but not because of the bow.

You're not ready.

I don't know why you're bothering, Guy.

You're a terrible shot.

I'm younger than you and everyone knows I'm the best shot in the village.

Only because you keep telling everyone you are.

I thought your father said you couldn't use his bow.

You're not ready. I'm going to show him he was wrong.

I can hit that lantern with this. Watch.

Don't be so stupid!

Look what you've done!

No!

Seize the boy!

Help me!

Don't just stand there! Somebody get a physician!

Let me see him. I can help.

Yousee?You see what your stupid prank has done?

I didn't do it. Who did, then?

It wasn't me! Of course it wasn't, Master Robin.

He fired the arrow that caused the priest's injuries. He's a murderer!

I didn't... Huh? One of yours, Master Guy?

How dare you?!It's not a question of daring, but duty.

As bailiff, it's my job to uphold the law.

I warn you only to hold the boy.

Any further action and you will have me to answer to.

What? No! He will only be charged if he dies.

Get him to the manor, quickly. You heard her.

Carefully! Carefully!

Everybody out. Leave us. Let her work.

His rib is broken and it has punctured a lung.

His chest is filling with air. There must be something you can do.

Ah, yes...

What are you doing?

It will release the air. Father...

Just breathe. Careful. Better? Father! They're going to hang Guy!

I can't leave him. I cannot leave him.

I'll put an end to this.

Did you see the way she declared herself lady of the manor?

She has no right to this estate! Like an eye for an eye.

The boy must hang! Have you taken leave of your senses?

If you do this, you will have to answer for it.

We must all pay for our actions, my lord.

You were told not to harm the boy. True.

But now I feel compelled by the will of the people,

and they want justice, and to that end...

Then you force my hand... Stop!

I command you to stop! On whose authority?

The King's, as he made me lord of this manor.

I'm Sir Roger of Gisborne, this boy's father.

No!What? You doubt my word?

We thought you were dead.

I was captured, not killed.

Out of my way. I can't do that.

As bailiff, I must uphold the law.

You are no longer bailiff! Out of my way!

You will never hold office again as long as I'm lord of this manor.

He will live! Swain will live!

Roger!

They told me...

I was captured.

There was no way to get word to you. Captured? Did they hurt you?

I must talk with you at once, Ghislaine.

I was truly sorry for what happened that night.

It was a mistake which I learnt from.

And it was one that made me a better man.

Do you think Mother watches me?

From heaven?

I'm sure she does. I'm sure she sees everything you do.

Father...

it was me that shot the arrow.

I was showing off

with your bow.

Robin...

...one day you will be lord of Locksley,

lord of my lands.

You must grow up and learn to take responsibility

when you do something wrong.

You could be the best shot in England.

You shouldn't stand by and let something terrible happen

because you were too scared to do the right thing.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Ah, how touching(!)

Look, I really don't see the point of any of this.

You need to know the truth to save a life.

Oh, we should not do this.

Malcolm...

I have done what I thought was right.

I have stayed away from you.

You have no idea how hard that's been.

Of course I do. But you understand, I had to care for Roger.

I understand more than you think.

I know about his affliction.

How?The night of his return,

Longthorn's dagger went straight through his hand and he didn't even cry out.

He told me he was infected in the Holy Land.

All he wanted was to get back home and spend his last days with his family.

He made his own way home, away from his soldiers, so they wouldn't know.

But people will know.

There is talk about the bandages.

The fact he barely leaves your house. He is a sick man!

He is a leper! And if he is discovered you will all be cast out.

You should not have been put in this position, Ghislaine.

There is something else.

More lies! There was never any child.

What are you doing?

If you think me a liar, there's no point in you being here.

You're going to kill me with no means to defend myself?

I expected nothing less from you, Bailiff Longthorn!

Hear my story or walk away.

But if you do, your brother will die.

Do you want that on your consciences?

Keep talking.

You understand now?
