"Show them the courage of Allah!" "He says you stole the bread." "It's a lie." "I caught him stealing ours." "Cut off the infidel's hand." "I took it!" "That's not true." "They're not interested in truth." "But he's lying!" "You're too weak to survive it." "As you wish." "Cut the other's hand off, too." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, Robin." "This is English courage." "That's for five years of hell!" "Behind you!" "Come on, for God's sake!" "Take us with you!" "You can't save those people!" "But you can save me!" "They're coming, Robin." "Come on!" "Christian!" " Why should I?" " For pity's sake." "Mine is a sentence of death." " He's a Moor!" "Don't listen!" " Set me free!" "I'll show you a way out." " Why should we?" " Lf you do not, we are all dead men." "No, Robin, for God's sake!" "They're coming!" "I'm sorry." "This way!" "Thanks." "I misjudged you." "You are fast with a sword." "I waited five years for the smell of free air." "That makes a man fast." "It's mortal." "Leave me." "Give this ring to my sister, Marian." "Now swear you'll protect her." "His wound is by the heart." "We cannot save him." "Swear it, Robin!" " I swear it." " They're coming!" "Tell Marian I died a free Englishman." "Come, my friend." "Make his sacrifice an act of honor." "Come!" "Why did you cut me free?" "Whatever blood is in your veins, no man deserves to die in there." "Farewell, friend." "Godspeed your way." "Our way lies together with the speed of Allah." "You have saved my life." "I vow to stay with you until I save yours." "But I go to England." "I relieve you of your obligation." "Only Allah can do that." "What if I say no?" "You have no choice." "I am Azeem Edin Bashir Al Bakir." "You may call me Azeem." "Robin of Locksley." "Kindest sir... it is rumored you fought in King Richard's Crusade... with my beloved son Robin." "I fear you have returned home to desperate times... when dark forces plot against our absent King." "I am anxious for word of my son." "Were you present at his capture near Jerusalem?" "Do you know which potentate holds him?" "Does he still bear me ill will?" "A little news, please, sir." "I would give all I own for his release." "Help me!" "You should have waited!" "I'm sorry you were disturbed, master." "It's all right." "Let him go." "They've taken my Gwen." "My daughter!" "Who?" "Men!" "On horses." "In masks." "We tried to stop them!" "My son... is dead!" "Master, stay." "There is an evil moon tonight." "Never fear, Duncan." "Good will overcome." "Trust in that." "I'm sorry, my lord." "I had no choice." "You!" "The King shall hear of this!" "Join us." "Never." "Join us... or die." "God and King Richard!" "Thank you, Lord." "I'm home!" "I'm home!" "You are strange, Christian." "But I'm free!" "I beg you to free yourself of your vow." "Return with the boat." "I know how it feels to be far from home and family." "Because I love them so much, I cannot dishonor them." "I thought you'd say that." "No man controls my destiny." "Especially not one who attacks downwind and stinks of garlic." "Come!" "Our fighting days are done." "By nightfall, we'll celebrate with my father." "You understand, of course..." "I had to try." "I would have succeeded." "Why must you walk in back of me?" "In your country, am I not the infidel?" "It seems safer to appear as your slave rather than your equal." "For an infidel you have uncommon clarity of thinking." "You tell me nothing of yourself." "Your name, Azeem." "What does it mean?" "Great One." "Really?" "Did you give yourself this name?" "It's a joke!" "Azeem the Great One, I am home!" "Look!" "Mistletoe!" "Many a maid has lost her resolve to me thanks to this!" "In my country, we talk to our women." "We do not drug them with plants." "What do you know of women?" "Where I come from, Christian... there are women of such beauty they can possess a man's mind so... that he would willingly die for them." "Wait." "Is that why you were to be executed?" "Because of a woman?" "That's it, isn't it?" "That's it!" "It is close to sunset." "You painted old dog!" "Who was she?" "The mullah's daughter?" "Another man's wife?" "What's her name?" "Is there no sun in this cursed country?" "Which way is east?" " Her name?" " East!" "Her name?" "Jasmina." "That way." "You are sure?" "I'd know blindfolded." "I'm five miles from home." "Was she worth it?" "Worth dying for." "You're dog's meat, son!" "Come down here!" "Down!" "You're not playing by the rules." "Deer don't climb trees." "Perhaps he thinks he's a game bird." "Shall we teach him to fly?" "Get him down." "Hold!" "What manner of creature is so fearsome it takes six men to attack it?" "Stand down." "It's no affair of yours." "Have we treed the devil?" "Let's see." "A small boy, a truly dangerous animal." "This boy killed one of the Sheriff of Nottingham's deer." "You starve us!" "We needed the meat." "I advise you to move on." "This is the Sheriff's land." "Wrong." "It's my land and my tree." "Whatever's in it also belongs to me." "Might I have the pleasure of your name before I have you run through?" "Robin of Locksley." "Welcome home." "Kill him!" "Time to redeem that vow!" "Unleash the hounds!" "Get off your damn knees!" "Be so kind as to give me your name before I run you through." "Guy of Gisborne, the Sheriff's cousin." "That bastard was poaching deer." "Poaching?" "Isn't it a greater crime to starve a family?" "Go on, Locksley." "Go on." "I've seen enough blood spilt to last two lifetimes." "Get off my land." "Tell Nottingham what happens when his scum pick on children." "You travel 10,000 miles to save my life then leave me to be butchered!" "I fulfill my vows when I choose." "Which does not include prayer times... or anytime I'm outnumbered six to one!" "You whine like a mule." "You are still alive." "Have no fear." "Come down." "Is it true?" "Did you kill a deer?" "Hundreds." "You scared him." "Interesting place, this..." "England." "The Sheriff's not to be disturbed." "Cousin!" "I trust you justify your intrusion with news of profound value." "I met a hooded man today who bade me warn you not to harm his people." "Who told you to cover up?" "His name?" "Robin of Locksley." "The prodigal son returns." "He's a whelp!" "This girl could best him." "Put it there!" "This "whelp" bested four of my men." "Your men were probably drunk." "Yet you survived, Cousin." "I barely survived." "Captains of Islam." "I'm sure it would take an army to match these rogues." "I trust Locksley visited his manor and found the home fires still burning." "Time for portents, Cousin." "Mortianna?" "Shut up!" "You called, madam?" "What do you see?" " The son of a dead man." " Locksley!" "Does he affect us?" "He precedes the Lionheart." "If King Richard returns from the Crusades, it could prove awkward." "It would soften the barons' spines." " Soon?" " Make haste." "But my plan is still intact?" "What's wrong?" "I have seen our death." "The painted man!" "He haunts my dreams." "Adorned with strange foreign markings." "Locksley's companion." "Kill him." "Kill them both." "Father?" "Father!" "Anyone here?" "Duncan!" "Father!" "No!" "Who is it?" "My father." "Who's there?" "Who's there?" "Master Robin?" "Is that you?" "Duncan?" "Praise thee!" "I thought God had abandoned us." "Duncan, my father..." "It's a miracle!" "Why didn't you cut him down?" " It's a miracle." "I never..." " Are you deaf?" "Easy!" "Look at him." "I would have done if I could see." "Who did this to you?" "Guy." "Guy of Gisborne." "The Sheriff and his witch watched." "Why?" "They say the Sheriff captured your father worshipping the devil." "That he signed a confession before the Bishop." "That's not possible." "Nottingham declared all Locksley lands forfeit." "Did you believe the charges?" "Not even when they took my eyes." "We must go." "He loved you to the end." "He never gave up hope of your return." "I should have been here." "He called the Crusades a foolish quest." "He said it was vanity to force others to our religion." "But you must flee now." "Head south to safety." "Gisborne will surely seek revenge." "I hear you, Duncan." "You should go home." "My world is turned upside down here." "I cannot ask you to come with me." "Alone, Christian, you will only get yourself killed." "Besides... there is nothing left for me to go home to." "I will not rest until my father is avenged!" "I swear it... by my own blood." "What is this place?" "Peter's home." "It's nearly six years since we left together." "We'll find food and shelter here." "No beggars!" "Tell the mistress Robin of Locksley's at her door." "Her ladyship's not here." "Is the child Marian in?" "Maybe she is, maybe she isn't." "The hospitality here is as warm as the weather." " It's a joke." " Really?" "Leave your weapons." "Just you!" "Wait here." "Right here?" "A curse on Moors and Saracens!" "Were it not for their ungodly ways Master Robin would never have left." "What manner of name is "Azeem"?" "Irish?" "Cornish?" "Moorish." "Who are you?" "Robin of Locksley." "You lie." "Robin is dead." "Step into the light." "Turn around." "Am I to dance next?" "Who are you?" "I am the maid Marian." "Show yourself, for we knew each other well." "The years have... been kind." "Thank you." "We must guard against outlaws who would kidnap a relative of the King." "You can see I am not one of those." "Perhaps." "Now remove yourself from here." "I would, but I'm sworn to protect you." "Protect me?" "Robin of Locksley was nothing but a spoiled bully." "Besides, as you can see, we have enough protection." "Marian, wait!" "You are truly courageous against an unarmed man." "Point me toward danger!" "I'm ready!" "Hello, Marian." "His last thoughts were of you." "Oh, Peter!" "I'm sorry, Marian." "I'm sorry." "How do I know you didn't abandon him to save yourself?" "No one feels his loss more than I." "Next time I'm in London, I'll give my mother your condolences." "I would think for your safety you would join her." "I have no interest in life at court." "All that gossip-mongering and currying favor." "But you're alone here." "Hardly." "These years have left us many in need." "While you and my brother played heroes, Nottingham plundered the shire." "You still have your lands." "I give them no excuse to take them." "I am the King's cousin." "I must look after these people until his return." "My purpose in coming was not to hurt you." "I swore to your brother I would protect you." "You cannot replace my brother." "I don't want to replace him." "I return to find my home destroyed and my father murdered." "The only explanations for it are the ramblings of an old, blind man." "All I remember of you is a spoiled bully... who used to burn my hair as a child." "Please allow that years of war and prison may change a man." "Whatever happened between you and your father, you mustn't believe... what they accused him of." "I don't." "Look!" "How did your uneducated kind ever take Jerusalem?" "God knows." "What is it?" " What is it?" " Nottingham's soldiers." "Here?" "Is this your protection?" "I killed some of the Sheriff's men." "I fear I have placed you in danger." "I can take care of myself." "Just go!" "No, that's my horse!" "A magnificent animal!" " Go!" " I'm sworn to protect you." "No more boyish gestures." "I'm not leaving." "Stop them!" "They're stealing my horses!" "You're so kind." "Sheltering outlaws?" "They're thieves." "Lucky he didn't steal your virtue." "A crown to the man who brings me Locksley's head!" "Have we lost them?" "No!" "My horse carries two." "Yours is lame." "We can't outrun them." "Leave me, Master Robin!" "I slow your escape." "We'll lose them in the forest." "Sherwood Forest is haunted." "We take our chances with the ghosts, or become ghosts ourselves." "Come on!" "There're only three of them!" "It's not the men we fear." "It's the evil spirits." "Robin of the Hood!" "Son of a devil worshipper!" "Your father died a coward... cursing you and squealing like a stuck pig!" "You'll bring no justice to your father by dying." "There are your ghosts." "Wind chimes." "A child's toy put to good use." "You scare easily, my painted Moor." "This forest has eyes." "I swear it." "In my dreams alone have I imagined such a place." "Then imagine a way to cross it." "There's hope!" "There was a rich man from Nottingham Who tried to cross the river" "What a dope He tripped on a rope" "Now look at him shiver!" "Beg for mercy, rich man!" "I beg of no man." "This is our river, and any man who wishes to cross must pay a tax." "I will pay no tax." "As you can see, I have nothing." "Not even my sword." "Bollocks!" "Any man who travels with two servants... and claims he's got no money is either... a fool or a liar." "Yeah, he's a liar!" "Who are you?" "John Little... bestman of the woods." "Well, bestman, you lead this rabble?" "Yes, I do, mate." "And if you want to travel through Sherwood Forest, it'll cost you... that gold medallion." "This is sacred to me." "It's sacred to us, too, matey." "It will feed us for a month." "You must fight me for it." "Love to, mate." "Be careful, Father." "He walloped 12 of the Sheriff's men." "Is that so?" "Reckon I'll enjoy this." "He's your father?" "He's drowning!" "Lost something?" "Thanks for the taxes." "The little rich boy's lost for words!" "Any great ideas?" "Get up!" "Move faster!" ""Move faster." Great idea." "We're not through yet." "All right, my old cocker." "You want another good walloping?" "You'll have it." "I've made it past the gate, John Little." "Or should I call you "Little John"?" "Hit him, Father!" "Wallop him!" "Swimming time again, old chum." "Where is he?" "Do you see him?" "It's a bloody shame!" "He was a brave lad!" " Do you yield?" " I can't bloody swim!" " Do you yield?" " Yes!" "Good." "Now put your feet down." "I'll be buggered!" " The medallion." " Give me your name first." "Robin of Locksley." "Well, Robin of Locksley... you got balls of solid rock." "Come on." "That's Much, the miller's son, Harold Brownwell... that stumpy one is David of Doncaster, but the lads call him "Bull."" "Because you're short?" "It's because I'm so long!" "Save it!" "Save it for the ladies." "Give him some mead." "I made that myself." "Has English hospitality changed so in six years... that a friend of mine's not welcome?" "But he's a savage, sire!" "That he is." "But no more than you or I." "And don't call me "sire."" "With regret, I must decline." "Allah forbids it." "Your loss!" "Why are so many of you in hiding?" "We're all outlaws." "Got prices on our heads." "Even the lad." "He's a blasted Sheriff." "He says we owe him taxes." "Your ghost will only keep his men at bay so long." "They've worked so far." "You have a better idea?" "We can fight back." "Did I crack your noble head?" "These are all good lads here... with hearts of oak, but they're farmers." "It'd be lambs to the slaughter." "They say the Sheriff was raised by a witch." "She knows every man's thoughts." " She flies." " That's codswallop!" "The rich son of a devil worshipper... cares what happens to outlaw peasants?" "My lord was kind and generous!" "Who dares believe him capable?" "My father was no devil worshipper." "I'll have words with any man who says otherwise." "But he's right." "I was a rich man's son." "When I killed the Sheriff's men..." "I became an outlaw like you." "You are nothing like us." "That's Will Scarlett." "Take no notice." "He's full of piss and wind." "Come on, drink up." "Stop talking so much rubbish." "This is the best we simple men can expect." "Here we're safe." "Here we are kings." "Too much mead, friend?" "Forgive me, I overslept." "Rest yourself." "What day is it?" "Sunday, I think." "Do they still give alms to the poor at mass?" "That they do." "These days the need for mercy is greater than ever." "Well, my other god calls." "Don't upset yourself, Mortianna." "Appearances are important to that lot... especially on a Sunday." "You know my true faith lies in the old ways." "Although... frankly, sometimes..." "I can't see much difference." "Did my parents truly tell you to instruct me in all this?" "Their dying wish." "We beseech thy blessing, Lord... on all your people, but most especially... on our noble Sheriff of Nottingham." "Grant him the wisdom to guide and protect... our glorious city." "Grant him also the strength... to bring to justice the lawless men... who would threaten its safety... and prosperity... and the judgment... to punish them... in your name." "Amen." "Go in peace." "Father, please help me." "Lady mother, the children are starving." "Lady, I'm a poor cripple." " Thank you." " God bless you, ma'am." " That's all I have." " God bless you, ma'am." "Alms for a blind man, milady?" "For one who cannot see your beauty?" " Hello." " What are you doing here?" "Searching my soul." "I do not wish to be seen with an outlaw." "You prefer Nottingham's company?" " There's a price on your head." " How much?" "One hundred gold pieces." "Is that all?" "I shall have to annoy the Sheriff more." "Soon it will be 1,000." "For 1,000, I'd turn you in myself." "Nottingham is mounting an army." "He has every blacksmith in the county making swords and armor." " What's his plan?" " I don't know." "There's no limit to his ambitions." " Thank you." " Quickly." "Go!" " Do something for me." " What?" "Take a bath." "A bath?" "These are my private chambers, my son." "I have priests who would hear your confession." "I see the boy I knew in the man before me." "Welcome home, Robin." "You shine like the sun, milady." "You've been meeting with Robin." "My cousin tells me the knave deprived you of some horses." "Yes, a most disagreeable experience." "And for inflicting that upon you..." "I'll hang him from the walls by his entrails." "I'd like to see that." "If you'd bring your household within the city, I could attend to your needs." "Thank you, but I prefer to stay in my family's home for now." "Then perhaps you'd do me the honor... of accepting a token of my undying devotion to your safety." "King Richard will be moved to hear of your concern for my welfare." "I'm afraid the King has many enemies abroad and at home." "I fear for his safe return." "Fear not, dear Sheriff." "He will return." "And when he does, he will wish to reward his faithful subjects." "I asked your father three times if he worshipped the Dark One." "Because his answer vexed me so grievously." "He said... he must meet God with a clear conscience." "You lie!" "On your souls, do not shed blood in the house of God!" "Locksley!" "I'll cut your heart out... with a spoon!" "Then it begins." "He's stealing the damn horse." "Close that gate!" "Close the gate!" "He's stolen the damn horse!" "What are you looking at?" "Water!" " Thank you." " For the animal." "How can I protect you if I know not where you go?" "You hardly raise a finger when you do know..." "Great One." "I prefer to have the choice." "You've stolen the Sheriff's horse?" "You've stirred up a hornet's nest now!" " Are you afraid?" " Yeah, a little." "So is the Sheriff." "And today I gave him a sting he'll not forget." "You fool!" "You started a war!" "We're already at war." "Bread." "I say we strike back at the very man who takes our homes... and hunts our children." "You planning to join us?" "No, to lead you." "These are simple people." "They are not warriors." "Be careful you do not do this for your own purposes." "You forget yourself." "I do not ask for your company or council." "Why a spoon, Cousin?" "Why not an axe?" "Because it's dull, you twit!" "Lt'll hurt more!" "I want this brigand found." "Starve them out!" "Slaughter their..." "No, take their livestock." "I want Locksley's own people fighting to bring his head in." "Perhaps we could create a name for him." "Something to drive fear into the populace." "Maybe "Locksley the Lethal" or "Wreaking Robin."" "I want him dead by the full moon, before the barons come back." "Now, sew!" "And keep the stitches small." "He's not here." "Where's your mate, the man called Little?" " He died last winter." " Burn it down!" "Leave the sow." "Her young will feed us through winter." "You've heard of the Sherwood Bandit?" "Robin of the Hood?" "Yes." "Pray he is brought to us before winter." "Over here!" "Oh, John!" "They burned it!" "All of it!" "Where is this Robin Hood?" "He's there!" "Look what they've done!" "If it's fame you seek, Christian..." "I think you have it." "You brought this misery on us, Locksley." "Nottingham is trying to divide us." "We are divided, rich boy." "I'm not as blind as that old man." "You're still trying to be lord of the manor." "I heard the Sheriff now values your neck... at 500 gold pieces." "I say we take him in." "You think the Sheriff will give everything back after I'm gone?" "He'll give us the reward and our pardons." "Wrong!" "He'll stretch your necks one by one." "What would you have us do?" "Fight armored men on horseback with rocks and bare hands?" "If needs be." "But with the one true weapon that escapes you." "Courage." "Look out!" "Thank you, Wulf." "You wish to end this?" "You wish to go home?" "Then we must stop fighting amongst ourselves... and face that the price may be dear." "I would rather die... than spend my life in hiding." "The Sheriff calls us outlaws." "But I say we are free." "And one free man defending his home is more powerful... than ten hired soldiers." "The Crusades taught me that." "I'll make no promises save one:" "If you truly believe in your hearts that you are free... then we can win." "They got armor!" "They got armor, Bull?" "Even this boy can learn to find the chinks in armor." "But we ain't got no food!" "What do we need that the forest cannot provide?" "We have food." "Wood for weapons." "We'll find safety in the trees." "What about our kin?" "Sheriff took all they got!" "Then, by God, we take it back." "What's the meaning of this?" "A woman of your beauty has no need for such decorations." "How dare you!" "Please don't take that!" "Don't take that!" "They belong to our Lord." "Now they belong to my Lord Sheriff!" "Give it back!" "Good." "Tell the Sheriff for every harm he does these people I will repay him tenfold." "Something vexes thee?" "What the devil..." "It's a hot day, friend... to burden your horse with such a heavy purse." "The Sheriff will hear of this!" "I truly hope so." "Buy yourself a new sow." "God bless you, Fanny." "And God bless Robin Hood!" "We reckon he's nicked... three to four million in the last five months." "Raise the bounty on his head." "25,000 crowns." "Begging your pardon, it won't do no good... how much you raise it." "Why is that?" "Because of the poor." "He gives them what he takes." "Well, sire... they love him." "Just a minute." "Robin Hood steals money from my pocket... forcing me to hurt the public... and they love him for it?" "Yes." "Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans." "No more merciful beheadings." "And call off Christmas!" "The treasury is empty." "Day and night people plague my door... whining for tax relief and safe passage through Sherwood Forest." ""We can't pay thee what the highwayman's taken."" "It's the shortest route to London!" "It's the only route to London." "Sir Guy's patrols have found nothing, sire?" "No camp." "Nothing!" "This hooded viper simply slithers into the forest." "You, my room, 10:30 tonight." "You, 10:45." "And bring a friend." "A tongue offends thee." "Whose?" "One who writes all." ""One who..."" "That horrible little scribe?" "His tongue?" "Cut it out." "How many?" "Twenty." "Twenty!" "How many?" "Five." "They can't count anyway." "Why scare them?" "And they call me a barbarian." "Friar!" "It will be more difficult to sing with a sword in your gullet." "Yes, my lord." "You pig." "Shut up and help me move this log!" "This is a tree, not a log!" "Shut up and help me!" "I have to meet a girl!" "Men in front, after me." "The rest stay with the wagon!" "On to glory!" "Bastards!" "Find them!" "Welcome to Sherwood, Friar!" "Surrender your weapon." "Surrender your weapon and I'll give you my word... that you'll go free." "Don't do that." "I'll be buggered!" "This treasure had a purpose." "We must find out what." "Good morning, my reverend friend." "You travel with poor company when you travel with Nottingham soldiers." "Tax him!" "I'm Robin of Locksley." "And my men are thirsty." "Robin Hood!" "I mistook you for common thieves!" "Kindly let me pass, sir." "Surely the Lord has the charity to spare a few barrels for good Christians." "We have much to celebrate." "If you wish them to share in the good Lord's brew... best me for it!" "Confess, Robin Hood, that Friar Tuck is a braver... holier and wiser man than thou art!" "He giveth and he taketh away." "Do you yield?" "I'd rather roast in hell." "I think the Friar's taken us far enough." "Thank you, Lord, for teaching me humility." "Thanks for the beer." "Are these not the meek of the earth?" "We need an honest man to minister them." "What say you?" "The Lord reveals himself in mysterious ways." " I accept." " Good." "You won't regret it." "Aye, but you may!" "We were ambushed, Cousin." "Spanish steel." "Much stronger than our native blades." "Any losses?" "Some." "In truth, all of them." "And the gold?" "Taken." "Robin Hood?" "They were woodsmen, Cousin." "Robin Hood." "I tried." "I tried!" "We must be strong." "We can't allow an outlaw to make fools of us." "And I can't allow a lieutenant... to fail me." "At least I didn't use a spoon." "It's good steel." "Take the one on the left." "Which is left?" " Which are you taking?" " What do you mean?" "If you take the left one, I take the right." "Which one's that?" "The one next to..." "Just grab them." " Now?" " Now!" "Donation, please." "Donation?" "For what?" "For passage through Sherwood." "Very well." "Come and get it." "You stunted shrub!" "How dare you attack us!" "It's me job, milady." "Who is your employer?" "Robin Hood." "I must see him at once." "I'm trying to stop them!" "You can't go down there!" "He's not expecting you!" "My lady's intrusion is tit for tat." " Out of the way, old traps!" " Don't "old traps" me!" "You can't go down there!" "I told you, not down there!" "Oh, I say!" "Cover your eyes." "You could've said!" "You have visitors!" " Don't look at me." "It weren't my fault!" " Marian, you be careful." " It was Much!" " It weren't me!" "Hello." "What are you doing?" "Taking a lady's advice." "What happened to your eye?" " We was set upon by ten..." " Twelve!" "Fifteen!" "Large, big lads!" "You've been busy." " We have guests!" " Bring them down." "It works." "Kind of." "Of course it works." "Take your time." "That's good, Wulf." "Can you do it amidst distraction?" "Can you make the shot when you must?" "Show him, Wulf." "You can do it." "Can you?" "It was a dirty trick." "He's serious, lads." "Is the shirt coming off, too?" "Well done!" "This is grain, which any fool can eat... but for which the Lord intended a more divine means of consumption." "Let us give praise to our Maker and glory to his bounty... by learning about... beer!" "Did you bring me here to brag?" "This is blood money, Marian." "Intended to bribe King Richard's enemies to unite against him." "We intercepted it." " Who would..." " Nottingham." "Nottingham would not challenge the King." "The King's not here to be challenged." "While he's away he may lose his country." "You thought I was keeping it all." "Didn't you?" "A contribution to your cause." " Keep it." " It will fetch a great price." "It's not dear to me." "It is." "It's not." "I'm saying everything wrong." "Cheers." "How do I get down?" "Wait!" "We don't go that way anymore." "I'm happy to hear that." "Grab on." "We have a rule here." "Once someone has seen the way to our camp, that person cannot leave." "Too many lives are at stake." "That's why Sarah and I were blindfolded." "Will you join us for dinner?" "Perhaps." "Salaam, little one." "Did God paint you?" "Did God paint me?" "For certain." "Why?" "Because..." "Allah loves wondrous variety." "You see, that is why your hand is brown... and your..." "Keep thy heathen words away from the ears of this innocent... or you'll answer to me." "You know nothing of our God." "Is not Allah the God of Abraham... as is your God?" "Don't trick me with twists of the devil's tongue." "Come, child!" "Come!" "How is it that a once arrogant young nobleman... has found contentment living rough with the salt of the earth?" "I've seen knights panic at the first hint of battle." "And I've seen the lowliest unarmed squire pull a spear from his own body... to defend a dying horse." "Nobility's not a birthright." "It's defined by one's actions." "It's interesting to hear you say that." "I didn't." "My father did." "Did the Holy Quest erase your hatred of him?" "I don't know." "All I know is that our last words in this world were spoken in anger." "I was lost after my mother died." "My father, too." "And for a short time he found comfort... with another woman." "A peasant woman." "I felt he betrayed my mother's memory." "He gave her up?" "For the love of a 12-year-old boy who would never forgive him." "Who says I'm content?" "I have my plans for the future." "A grander scheme than this?" "No, a simpler one." "A home... family..." "Iove." "Men speak conveniently of love when it serves their purpose." "When it doesn't, 'tis a burden to them." "Robin of the Hood..." "Prince of Thieves... is he capable of love?" "Father!" "It's Mother, she's dying!" "Your baby has not turned." "It cannot be born without help." "He's the devil's seed sent to lead us astray." "Don't listen!" "He'll kill her!" "If you do not listen to me... she will die, and the child." "The Friar's done all he can." "I suggest you let the Moor try." "So be it." "Then be it on your head!" "Get me a needle, thread, water." "Hurry!" "Come with me, John!" "What will you do?" "I've seen it many times." "With horses." "With horses?" "Bite down." "Help me." "It will be all right." "I tell you, John, the barbarian is killing her." "Out of the way, boy!" "Quick, take him." "What is it?" "Your son, milady." "You truly are a Great One." "My son!" "Look at the lovely little baby." "Isn't he wonderful?" "The Lord has taught me a fine lesson." "Though I may think I am godly, I am not worldly." "Please." "My barbarian friend, let's open a barrel and try to save each other's souls." "Alas, I am not permitted." "Fine." "You talk, I'll drink." "May I have this dance?" "This lady is spoken for." "Why this way?" "So you cannot return or be forced to tell others the way." "It was good to see you, Marian." "It was good to be seen." "I have two favors to ask." "One:" "Take Duncan with you." "I fear for his health with what may lie ahead." "Besides, I grow tired of his bellyaching." "You wish me to leave?" "Old friend, listen to me." "Take Marian safely home." "I fear for her safety." " Of course, sire." " Good." "Two?" "You're King Richard's cousin." "You can get word to him of Nottingham's plan." "He would believe you." "If the Sheriff found out, I'd lose all I have." "That's true." "Do it for your King." "No." "I'll do it for you." "He fancies you, milady." "I am blind, but some things I can still see." "In ten days, the barons are coming." "Robin Hood stole what I was to pay for their allegiance." "I am surrounded by fools who do not realize my obligations." "Tell me, Mortianna... am I thwarted?" "Recruit the beasts that share our God." "Animals?" "From the North." "You mean, Celts." "They drink the blood of the dead." "Yoke their strength." "Hired thugs." "Brilliant!" "Put thine own issue on the throne." "A child?" "How?" "Ally with royal blood." "Who?" "It's a personal matter, my lord." "But of vital importance." "I understand, milady." "This is my most trusted emissary." "He must travel to France immediately and give this personally to the King." "My lady-in-waiting will accompany you." "My dear, I could not vouch for her safety." "The journey is full of danger." "I appreciate your concern, but Sarah's a skilled rider and I insist she go." "As you wish." "What's wrong?" "My horse is favoring his foreleg." "What's this?" "An appetizer." "You promised us wagons of gold." "There are greater things than gold... more land and power than you have ever dreamed of!" "When I rule this land... it'll be divided between just the seven of us in this room." "You get Cornwall." "You can have Wales, and Scotland is all yours." "You recruit us to treason... and yet you cannot even get gold through your own forest." "My lords, why risk life and limb for a man... who can't even snare the paltry bandit who marked his pretty face?" "Indeed!" "Good point, my lord." "How can I control England... when I cannot even control my own county?" "I bring in a little help." "By God." "You'd ally us with the Celts?" "What can these mercenaries do that we cannot?" "Very impressive." "All right, milord Sheriff... but you must wed royal kin before we act." "Then your claim to the throne will be... legitimate." "I'm as good as engaged." "Duncan, is that you?" "Hello?" "Rebecca?" "Nicodemus!" "Go!" "Find mice." "I've never seen a noblewoman's breasts." "We couldn't hold them, milady!" "Someone wants a word with you." "Easy!" "Tonight I need your eyes, old friend." "It's the warning arrow!" "All is well!" "It's Duncan!" "What happened?" "I found you." "Thank God, I did it." " Nottingham's men attacked us." " Marian?" "They took her." "What is it?" "Over there!" "Look!" "On the hill!" "Allah, be merciful." "To the trees!" "To the trees!" "They're coming!" "The old fool led them straight to us." "Get me prisoners." "Children!" "Come to me!" "My God!" "Save us." "Save yourselves!" "We better go, Robin!" "Now!" "This way, my lambs." "Come on!" "Hold your fire!" "Gold!" "Gold!" "It's gold!" "Fanny!" "Come on!" "Save yourself, John!" "No, Fanny, I won't leave you!" " Go on, John." " Never!" " Hold the rope." " I've got it." "John, catch her!" "I got you, girl!" "Quick!" "Come on!" "Go on!" "Don't wait for me!" "John, go on!" "Hurry!" "Corpus Christi." "Amen." "My Lady Marian." "By what right do you keep me prisoner?" "You misunderstand my intentions." "You've been brought here for your own protection." "Protection from whom?" "From yourself." "It seems you've been consorting with outlaws." "Where do you hear such lies?" "By your own hand, milady." "I'm sorry, my child." "I feared you were being led astray." "Come." "It's over." "Today I return justice to this land." "I shall hang the ringleaders, of course, but..." "I'll be generous and give you the lives of the woodsmen and their families." "The children." "And, of course... your traitorous lady-in-waiting." "As a wedding gift." "And just whom am I supposed to marry?" "Search your heart, my child." "Why not a union with the House of Nottingham... and heal the wounds in our land?" "Only one man can heal the wounds of this land." "Robin Hood." "I'm truly sorry, milady." "He wasted his life." "How many lives would you waste?" "What a beautiful child." "So young." "So alive, so unaware of how precarious life can be." "I had a very sad childhood." "I'll tell you about it sometime." "I never knew my parents." "It's amazing I'm sane." "Our bonding would allow these children to grow up as my allies." "You understand..." "I cannot allow them to grow up as my enemies." "I have no choice." "That's true." "Look!" "Christian!" "Sorry to keep you hanging about." "Would you prefer pain or death?" "Death." "Torture him." "What about you?" "Pain or death?" "Pain!" "Torture him." "You see... it makes no difference." "Spare me!" "Will you keep the noise down, please?" "I have heard that Robin Hood may still be alive." "Either tell me where he may be hiding... or we'll hang you, catch him anyway, and do the same to him." " I'd love to kill him for you." " Will, no!" "So he is alive, then." "I'm not really sure." "Then why would I need you?" "Because, my lord, if he is alive I can get close to him." "I'm one of his men." "He'd never suspect me." " He knows you hate him!" " Shut up!" "He's a trusting fool." "And if he doesn't believe me, he'll kill me... then you've lost nothing." "If you fail..." "I will personally remove your lying tongue." "And if I succeed..." "I want my freedom and the bounty on his head." "The lash, Alec!" "Sorry about that." "It'll make it more convincing." " My pride brought us to this." " No." "It was you who gave pride to these people." "I was a fool." "A fool to let him leave." "To believe I planned it so perfectly." "A wise man once said:" ""There are no perfect men in this world..." ""only perfect intentions."" "You were an honor to your countrymen today." "You fought better than twenty English knights." " I thought you were taken." " I was." "How'd you escape?" "Traitor!" "I'll wring your scrawny neck!" "Get in there!" "Nobody escapes the Sheriff unless he's lining his pockets." "Where's my son?" "I'll have your guts for garters, you toad!" "Bugger me!" "Let him speak." "I bring a message... from Nottingham." "Our men are to be hung in the square at high noon tomorrow." "And my boy?" "The boy, too." "Ten men in all." "The hangings are part of the celebration... for the Sheriff's marriage." "To whom?" "Lady Marian." "A bride of royal blood." "And with King Richard gone... he'll be after the throne." "You were to use this news to get near me, then kill me, right?" "What are your intentions?" "It depends on you, Locksley." "I've never trusted you, that's no secret." "Will you finish what you started?" "Or will he run like the spoiled rich boy I always took him for?" "Did I wrong you in another life, Will Scarlett?" "Where does this hatred for me come from?" "From knowing that... our father loved you best." "Our father." "We are brothers." "I'm the son of the woman who replaced your dead mother for a time!" " Your anger drove them apart!" " It's a lie!" "It's not a lie!" "You ruined my life!" "I have more reason to hate you than anyone." "But I dared to believe in you." "What I must know, Brother... is will you stay with us and finish what you started?" "I have a brother?" "I have a brother!" "I will make my stand with you." "Side by side." "To the end." "To the end!" "We're all in." "Daft buggers." "We finish this." "Overwhelmed with happiness." "Thank you for asking." "Yes, all is well." "All my money back, Robin Hood is probably dead... and I'm going to be king, all as predicted." "I want you to tell the hangman..." "I don't want to see any broken necks in the morning." "I want to see some dancing." "Don't touch that!" "I can do that myself." "Thank you very much!" "Have you been spying on me, you little insect?" "Well, who else would have made a..." "Where are you?" "You come early." "The signs have not aligned yet." "You can stop all that, you old fake!" "I will try for thee anyway." "The union... the blood of the lion, new power, new soul..." "I found the hole!" "You dare to spy on me?" "I want the truth!" "Why?" "The truth has never served you before." "Truth didn't put Nottingham where he is today..." "Mortianna did." "You freakish hag!" "I despise you!" "After the wedding, you're out on the streets." "Without my protection, the people will rip out your black heart and burn it!" "Without me, you're nothing... destroyed, a flea bite, a speck." "I birthed you from this body." "I stole a babe in this very castle and killed it... so that you... might rise in its place." "You're my son." "You despise me?" "You are me." "You know from your empty soul, it is the truth." "All my life..." "I've been a freak." "When you stud the Lady Marian... and my grandchild takes the throne... my blood... this twisted seed... will rule through him." "We'll see who's freakish then." "What was that?" "Truly, you are a wizard!" "The mystery is in the black powder." "Surely the Lord will grant us victory." "You'll be by the gate to cut off reinforcements." "John, you sit on this wall to protect our escape." "I will hide below the scaffold... to cut our men from their nooses at the signal." "No." "I'll do that." "You cover us with your bow." "It's too dangerous." "So is your aim." "Whatever Azeem is concocting, we must each be in place for it." "Now, our success depends on total concert." " We may be only six men..." " Seven." " What?" "Where's the little ones?" " Safe with my mother." "You cracked?" "You'd get hurt." "I've had eight babies." "Don't tell me about getting hurt." "Anyway, I won't just sit and let one of them die!" "You should be bloody well minding the other seven." "Tell her, Rob." "You will take position here." "No blades, no bows." "Leave your weapons here." "No blades, no bows." "Leave your weapons here." "What have you got there?" "The Lord's finest brew for the good Sheriff's fighting men." "It has a mighty kick." "Hey, you!" " Do I know you?" " Please, sir, don't hurt me." "Oh, my God, you stink." " Pardon my blindness." "I'm always falling..." " Get out of here." "Careful, Friar." "What are you doing?" "Distributing libations for the celebration of the Sheriff's nuptials." "Is something amiss?" "You are." "Get this out of here!" "Caesar has spoken, my leprous friend." "Let's collect our offerings and depart." "Is this your finger?" "Leper?" "Get out of here!" "Leaving bits of himself all over England." "What are you doing?" "I ain't doing no harm." "I likes a good hanging." " What's in this bundle?" " That's firewood." "Hello, my lover." "Make way for the Lord's work!" "No fighting here." "Make way for the Lord's work!" "A benediction for these poor bastards who are about to stretch." "God, receive them in thy mercy... and show them the love they so richly deserve." "Hey!" "Nothing there but trouble, boy." "That's a little inappropriate, don't you think?" "No more than your wedding present." "Bring them out!" "Lynch him!" "Make way!" "Traitor!" "What's going on?" "Bring him here!" "Oh, the turncoat!" "Did you succeed?" "I found his lair, but... he was dead." "You sure?" "You saw Hood's body?" "No." "I saw a grave." "We found this on him." "String him up." "Put me down!" "Let me go!" " Leave him!" "He's only a boy." " Shut up!" "Bastard!" "You all right?" "Now?" "My lord... it appears there's no more room!" "I'll have to respectfully decline!" "Come on, you." "Down." "Hold your tongue!" "There's always room for one more." "That's my boy!" "My boy!" "Locksley!" "Robin!" "Get some troops in here!" "What are you waiting for?" "Father!" "Come on, you milksops!" " Fight your way free." " Look out!" "This way!" "To the wall!" "Lord Sheriff... is this your idea of control?" "Shut up, you twit!" "Come with me!" "English!" "English!" "Behold Azeem Edin Bashir Al Bakir!" "I am not one of you... but I fight!" "I fight with Robin Hood... against a tyrant... who holds you under his boot!" "If you would be free men... then you must fight!" "Join us now!" "Join Robin Hood!" "Freedom!" "Close the gate!" "Guard it with your life!" "Bring the Bishop to my chapel!" "Right there!" "Is she worth it?" "Worth dying for?" "He cleared it!" "We're doomed." "'Tis rebellion!" "We must escape!" " Marry us!" " No!" "I will never marry you!" "That's my wife, crone!" "Get away!" "She's ripe." "She'll give us a son." "Take her now." "I will not take her until we are properly wed!" "For once, I will have something pure!" "'Tis madness to delay." "Marry them... or face me!" "Where is she?" "Lady Marian?" "Up the stairs, that way!" "Get on with it!" "Statue!" ""Do you, George, Sheriff of Nottingham..." ""take this woman to be your wife?" ""To have and to hold..." ""in sickness and in health, for better or for worse..."" "Yes, yes!" "Come on!" "Make haste!" ""Do you, Marian, take this man to be your husband?"" "Yes, of course she does." "Damned English oak!" "Let's try the other way." "What do you want?" "I can't do this with all that racket!" "How could you?" "The painted man!" "The witch!" "I didn't know." "I didn't know it was you." "Please, sire, have pity." "Don't harm an old woman." "You may take this body, but it will not be me!" "Not again!" ""I pronounce you man and wife, in the name of the Father..." ""the Son..." ""and the Holy Ghost."" "Do you mind, Locksley?" "We've just been married." "Recognize this?" "It belonged to your father." "Appropriate, don't you think... that I use it to send you to meet him?" "I shall never fear my father's sword." "Really?" "Now we're even." "If I must, I'll take you a piece at a time." "I'll do the only taking today." "You sold your soul to Satan, Your Grace." "You accused innocent men of witchcraft and let them die." "Brother Friar, you would not strike a fellow man of the cloth." "No, I wouldn't." "I'll help you pack for your journey." "You'll need lots of gold to help you on your way." "You're a very rich man." "This, too." "And there!" "Here's thirty pieces of silver... to pay the devil on your way to hell!" "Get ready." "I have fulfilled my vow, Sadiq." "You came for me." "You're alive." "I would die for you." ""By the power vested in me by God's holy church, I say, any man..." ""with reason why these two shouldn't be joined..." ""let him speak now..." ""or forever hold his peace." " "I now pronounce you..."" " Hold!" "I speak!" "Richard!" "I will not allow this wedding to proceed." "Unless..." "I'm allowed to give the bride away." "You look radiant, Cousin." "We are deeply honored, Your Majesty." "It is I who am honored, Lord Locksley." "Thanks to you, I still have a throne." "Proceed!" ""Husband and wife."" "You may kiss the bride." "I know that." "Get out of it." "We waste good celebration time."
