Round the side. Move.

Get out of the way, scum.
[Shrieking]

How dare you?
[Growling]
[Grunting and groaning]
[Chuckling]
Same time next week, gents?
[Chuckling]
[Growling]
You took my money. Oi you, come back here.
Where is he?

Get out of the way. Move it.

Hey! Looking for something?
Money well spent, thank you. Thank you.
- What's your name? - Robin Hood.
He's getting away. Quick, stop him!
[Neighing] [Robin] Ya, ya.
[Soldiers grunting and groaning]
[Bell tolling]
[Regal music playing]
Here we are, girl.
Home sweet home.
Good girl.
[Soft music playing]
Lillian?
Hello, little sister. [Horse neighing]
Is that what I think it is? Maybe.
You brought that animal back here,
you'll lead them straight to us.
It'll be fine. We'll leave it out the back.
I need a new horse anyway.
[Horse neighing]
[Sighing]
Hurry up, we're running late.
For what? To give away all our food?
Why must we give away What little we have
to those that we don't even know?
It wasn't even ours in the first place.
Yeah, but it's very hard to steal.
Not everyone can do as they please, Robin!
If nobody else helps them, who shall?
Certainly, not our queen or the sheriff.
Stop your whining.
We'll be down at the camp soon.
It's Just down the valley.
But I'm hungry now.
Don't worry, they'll be prepping something nice for dinner.
Think about what we can get from this beast
when we turn him into the slavers tomorrow.
Will Big John be getting fed tonight?
Don't you think you've had enough?
Taking the Kings mead is why you're in here.
Still thinking with your stomach.
In the fighting pits, you won't get fed unless you win.
I'll win. Don't you worry about that.
Think you're going to be 'Little' John soon.
[Birds chirping]
There you go, buddy.
[Soft music]
There you go, that's it. Oh my god!
That's all I have.
It's cool, isn't it?
What is it?
It's called a trebuchet. It's a siege engine.
There's hundreds of them around Sherwood Forest.
They're all leftover from the Great War.
Guards! Guards!
[Footsteps marching]
[Wagon rumbling and squeaking]
[Tense music]
Robin did you see that? That was barbaric.
You have to do something.
It's not our war, Lillian.
You're just going to let him go to his death?
No, I'm gonna follow him.
There must be a prison outpost near here.
Probably just down on the river flats.
They'll have food, wine, maybe gold - everything we need.
I'm gonna go investigate. Wait here.
Let me come with you. No, no, it's far too dangerous.
Stay here. By the time you count to 100, I'll be back, I promise.
Just wait here. I'll be back.
Count to a hundred!
[Sighing]
Here we are, boys.
Look what we got.
Nice big beast to sell to the slavers tomorrow.
Fetch a good price, won't you beast?
Let me out and you'll see.
What have you got for us, boys?
Oi! Let us out of here.
[Jug smashing]
What was that?
There you are.
I was looking to catch your attention.
Were you?
You've got a pretty face, you know?
I could be of better service out of this cage than in it.
Could you?
And what sort of service are we talking?
97... 98...
[Woman] Ever seen up a lady's skirts, boy?
Boy, look what I found.
Something's wrong.
[Man] Ah, look what we have here.
[Whistling]
[Screaming]
[All screaming]
[Intrepid music playing]
Faster! Quick, I need to save my brother.
Just over the hill. Slightly to the right.
[Whistling]
Whoa!

[Tense music]
[Shouting and screaming]
[Dramatic music building]
[Narrator] Throughout the kingdom,
the Sheriff of Nottingham's men
inflicted brutal and uncompromising rule
upon the people.
Hunting was outlawed,
livestock was confiscated and winter stores stolen.
[Neighing]
[Man] Take it all.
[Shouting]
[Dramatic music]
[Dramatic music continuing]
[Eerie horn notes playing]
[Harp playing]
[Birds chirping]
That's it?!
Your penchant for Chinese guards is rather expensive.
I like them. They don't talk back.
Sheriff...
I summoned you here because we need more gold.
I shall have to raise the taxes.
No, no. No more taxes.
People don't like taxes.
It makes them unhappy and I can't stand unhappy people.
So miserable.
Moping around with long faces.
No taxes?
Excellent idea, your majesty.
We shall fill the royal coffers by selling air.
Oh, can we do that?
Your highness, I don't know why you put up with this...
impertinent sell sword.
Because he's efficient. He gets things done.
If he is so efficient, why are we always running out of money?
[Laughter]
Because you scroungers keep wasting all my money.
[Soft harp plays]
Looks like Mr Efficiency needs to do his job
and get us some gold.
- His skills lie elsewhere. - Really?
I would love to know where.
[Giggling]
[Tense music building]
- Kill him. - With pleasure.
Uh-uh-uh. Sheriff, would you be so kind?
Huh? But your majesty. [Whining]
[Screaming]
Oh! [Laughing]
Very efficient.
[Laughing]
Now, get me some more money.
[Tittering]
[Lively music in distance]
[Lively music]
Cedric, my old friend, how are you?
Hey! There he is.
I heard they almost caught you.
Well, almost counts for nothing.
Anyone that can outrun a platoon of royal guards
is alright in my book.
I think you've earned yourself a drink.
- I think I have, too. - Three pints of ale.
No. Two.
You're not drinking.
When are you gonna stop treating me like a child?
When you're not a child.
[Sighing]
You know what?
Little baby cup for my little baby sister.
Cheers.
[Coughing]
That's disgusting!
I'm going home.
See you two codgers later.
She's gonna be trouble that one.
She sure is.
Runs in the family, though.
[Laughing]
[Birds chirping]
[Horses neighing]
[Tense music building]
How can I help you?
Well, you can help us in many ways, sweetheart.
Tell me, do you know the penalty
for hunting in the royal forest?
I do, but I'm no hunter.
Well, we've tracked a well-known thief
to this location.
[Neighing]
[Clearing throat] Where did he come from then?
You wouldn't know anything about that would you?
Where's Robin Hood?
I have no idea who you're talking about.
Don't feign innocence with us, missy.
We know who you are.
You and your thieving brother.
Thieving? You're the only thief around here.
Your taxes and hunting restrictions
are bleeding the people dry and starving them to death.
What you must understand, little girl,
is that people like your brother
are costly to deal with.
Because of him, I've had to upgrade my guards.
Do you know the cost to hire Asiatic mercenaries?
Trust me when I say, when I catch him...
he will hang!
[Chuckling]
You are hereby arrested for poaching in the royal forest
and holding stolen goods for which the penalty is death.
[Tense music building]
[Shrieking]
[Gasping]
[Men laughing]
[Gasping]
[Sheriff] Go round the back, make sure she doesn't escape.
[Gasping and whimpering]
[Coughing and gagging]

My brother will hear about this.
I'm counting on it! [Grunting]

Do what you want with her.

Wonderful moment.
Squire, help me with this arm our would you? It's jammed.
Again?
We'll have to get you a new one.
It's fine. Thank you.
[Heraldic fanfare continuing] [Crowd chattering]
And the weather is beautiful, the crowds are here.
Wonderful celebration. It's a great idea of mine.
- [Herald] My lords... - Oh.
My lords and ladies and good gentle folk all.
We do so heartily welcome you to the tournament arena
for the Queen's royal joust!
[Cheering]
Introducing our first competitor.
Bearing the standard of crimson red,
we call forth Sir Simon!
[Crowd booing]
Good luck to you.
Now, my lords and ladies, now, now.
For it is my time to introduce to you our most beloved,
our favourite, our reigning champion,
the one, the only, Sir Lancelot!
[Cheering]
Ah, wonderful.
Yes!
[Heraldic fanfare playing]
He's going to win this, hands down.
[Lancelot] Ya.
Whoo!
Ya.
[Horse neighing]
[Tense music building]
Oh! No.
[Herald] A beautiful pass my lords and ladies.
A fine pass but, alas, no dismount.
[Crowd booing]
At last our knights shall take their place
at the end of the list to commence a second pass.
[Dramatic music builds]
Ah! [Laughing]
Fabulous.
Yes, my lords and ladies, a fine shattering of the lance
bringing Sir Lancelot equally tied with Sir Simon.
Oh, I knew, he'd do it. Yes!
[Lancelot] Yes!
[Laughing]
[Horse neighing]
Ah!
Go on!
[Tense music playing]
[Gasping]
Ah.
Oh.
Damn it.
This one's for the queen!
Ya!
[Yelling]
[Herald] Lancelot has broken even against Sir Simon.
What say you?
- Fabulous. - Yes it is.
- I knew he'd do it. - Very good.
[Herald] My lords and ladies. This shall be our final pass.
Who's cheering on Sir Simon?
[Crowd booing]
Well, my lords and ladies, who's cheering on Lancelot?
[Heraldic fanfare playing]
[Cheering]
[Indistinct shouting]
[Dramatic music building]
[Angelic music playing]
[Yelling]
[Echoing]
[Solemn string music playing]
She was an innocent, Cedric.
The things they did to her.
My lad, she was an angel, indeed.
We all share your pain.
Yeah, then why is nobody doing anything about it?
Well, what would you have us do, uh?
Storm the castle with our pitchforks?
Yeah, if that's what it takes.
We're just poor villagers.
This sheriff has an army of guards,
knights, soldiers with weapons that we can't hope to match.
So we're just meant to take it?
We're just meant to get stabbed and killed and raped
and the men should just tax us within an inch of our lives.
It's not what I'm saying. No, this is bullshit.
Heads up. Sheriff's guards are heading this way.
Word is they're looking for you.
Hide.
[Yelling]
We're looking for Robin of Loxley.
You wanna rob a locksmith?
[Laughing]
Silence!
Any man woman or child harbouring a fugitive
will be severely punished.
However...
anyone with information leading him to us...
will be swiftly and generously rewarded.
[Soft tense music playing]
Huh?
No takers?
Well, if you do see him, you know where to find us.
[Tense music continuing]
To hell with it, I'll do it myself.
Robin, don't. It's suicide.
[Grunting]
Oof.
[Sighing]
[Crowd shouting]
My lords, my ladies and good gentle common folk.
After such a fine display of courage, hon our,
chivalry and skill...
it is my absolute hon our to present to you your champion,
Sir Lancelot!
[Cheering]
[Laughing]
Wonderful.
Sir Simon. On your knees.
[Solemn music playing]
On your knees!
Finish him off.
Lancelot! Finish him off!
Your majesty, this is but a tournament.
The rules of a tournament state that if...
- Sheriff. - [Clearing throat]
[Tense music building]
What is this?
What is the meaning of this?
Knight's code clearly states that he shall not be punished
for anything that - you stop!
No! No, no, no, no. What are you doing?
No, no, stop! Stop!
[Crowd gasping]
[Gasping and laughing]
This is an outrage!
I thought it was rather funny.
Have you no hon our?
You animal.
[Mock kissing] [Grunting]
Guards!
Take him away.
In the eyes of God, this is wrong!
The people... No!
[Laughing]
No! No!
[Maniacal laughing]
No!

[Mysterious music building]
Hello Robin. How's your noggin'?
Yeah. [Moaning]
I've felt better, but I'll live.
I can fix you a tonic.
Water would be great.
Water? You know fish fornicate in it?
If you need a refreshing beverage,
there's mead in yonder barrel.
Thank you. Meh.
So, why did you stop me?
Do I need a reason?
Perhaps it was just a moment of human kindness.
[Retching] Eugh!
One man reaching out to another.
We all know who you are, Merlin. What you are.
And what might that be?
A lecherous old goat, a scamster,
somebody that doesn't help anyone unless he's well paid.
- Oh, that's a bit harsh. - That's a bit generous.
Well, you're right and you're wrong.
Shouldn't have expected a straight answer from you.
Well, you're right if you think the sheriff is dangerous,
capricious, malicious, very unpleasant
and must be stopped.
But you're wrong if you think you can do it by yourself.
You heard the villagers,
they don't want any part of this, Merlin.
It's not to them you have to look, Robin.
You have a gift young man,
an incredible skill with a bow.
It's almost magical.
Look to others who carry skills, who have integrity,
who have that fire in the belly that you have,
then you'll be unstoppable.
You heard the sheriff, he has an army.
He has Lancelot by his side,
red-crested mercenaries work for him.
Even if I could find these so-called allies
that you speak of, they're not going to help,
it simply wouldn't be enough.
You do your part Robin...
I'll do mine.
That is an impressive trick.
Clothes.
[Coughing]
There is one condition, however...
[Soft eerie music playing]
[Bird screeching]
[Dramatic music building]
You must find a symbol.
Something that people can rally behind.
That strikes fear into the enemy.
Fight with hon our.
Fight with valour.
[Yelling]
You may fail.
You may fall.
But the quest for justice is eternal.
The fire will spread
and your people will complete your quest.
The hot coals of rebellion will smoulder
and ignite in fury.
For those with fired fields and stolen stores,
empty stomachs and heavy hearts.
Rise...
for the downtrodden, the weary, the weak...
rise!
For your sister, Robin,
you must rise and become the hero you were destined to be.
[Bell tolling]
[Crying out]
[Metal screeching]
[Crying out]
[Tense music building]
So...
are you still considering your loyalties?
My loyalties...
are to God and the people.
I've accepted my fate.
I'm ready to die.
[Scoffs]
[Dog barking]
[Grunting]
Oh, we're not going to kill you.
Your fate is much worse than death.
[Laughing]
[Chains rattling and clanking]
Move, dog! Move!
[Grunting]
[Sighing]
By order of the Queen of Nottingham...
you are now banished.
Thank you for the arm our.
Get this shit outta here.
Now!
[Whimpering]
Blast these fish!
[Curious music playing]
I know you. Yes, I freed you.
Damn well nearly blew my head off!
You're welcome. "You're welcome" you say?
I'm looking for a sell sword.
Well, I don't own one.
[Chuckling] Means hired muscle.
When we take the castle, if you help us,
you can have everything in the royal food stores.
All the food and wine that your heart desires.
What say you?
All the food wine I desire you say?
I tell you what, one condition,
as long as I'm never sober along this journey,
I will join you.
You got yourself a deal.
Well, lead the way then, boy.
[Metal clanging]
This is the place.
Tell the sheriff, I don't have his gold.
Just come back another time.
We don't want gold,
we're told you're the man to get us weapons?
[Coin clinking]
Are you licenced?
What licence?
I'm only licenced to sell weaponry to the Queen's guard
and those sent directly by the sheriff.
Fuck the sheriff!
[Locks unlatching]
[Hinges creaking]
Ah!
Don't touch!
There's not much of a selection in here is there?
Ooh, it speaks!
I speak and I'll wring your scrawny neck too
if you don't help us out.
[Laughing]
What sort of weapon is this? Oriental.
Far superior to your English steel.
And what is wrong with an English bow?
Absolutely nothing. It's good for hunters.
[Grunting]
And women - do not touch anything!
How much for the bow? 25 pieces.
25 pieces?
[Scoffing]
I hear you have some sort of problem with the sheriff
for some sort of debt?
Few gambling debts.
Trivial amount of few hundred pieces of silver.
Doesn't sound trivial to me.
Look, payment from you gentlemen should keep him
and the collectors off my back for a few days.
You do have the gold to pay, correct?
What if I offered you something greater than gold?
I'm quite certain you cannot.
What if I was to tell you that we aim to kill
the Sheriff of Nottingham?
Then I would check to see what herbs you have been smoking.
If we do, your debts will be cancelled.
Listen, the sheriff killed my sister.
He's slowly starving the people of Nottingham.
We need to do something.
My comrades and I, we've vowed to kill him
end this tyranny once and for all.
These comrades, how many of you are there?
Including you? Three.
Chances of succeeding are about a million to one.
Why on Earth would I join you?
Why wouldn't you?
In the name of the sheriff, open this door!
Let us in!
Three it is.
Back door this way.
[Thumping]
Around the back!
[Lively music playing]
Four.
[Indistinct murmuring]
- Shame we had to kill her. - Just following orders.
Besides, it was fun.
She was trying to get away...
I have to give her credit,
I mean, I've never seen someone take that many wounds
to the stomach and still survive that long.
I mean, where was her brother? He was in hiding.
It would have been us at the other end of that sword
if we didn't recover that horse.
Better her than us, especially after what you did to her.
- Oh she was nice. - You're an animal.
[All chuckling]
[Sighing] Well...
all's well, that ends well.
[Background chattering]
[Snoring]
[Tense music building]
[Music stopping]
[Flames crackling]
Shame about that Loxley sprat,
she'd have made a good wife in a couple of years.
Bit young.
Yeah.
Yeah, especially with a nice piece of noble arse like that.
Do you hear something? [Whistling]
Nup. [Grunts]
[Yelling]
[Gurgling]
Thomas!
[Whimpering]
I'm going to make you pay like she did.
My sister deserved better.
Robin of Loxley... No, no, no.
[Wailing]
No, Robin, please don't hurt me.
Not me. It wasn't. It was him!
No, no, no. Loxley, Loxley... It wasn't me.
I did nothing to your sister. I promise.
It was the sheriff that stabbed her.
And you decided to violate her dying body.
You're a dead man!
The sheriff's gonna hear about this!
Maybe so, but not from you.
So where's Robin? I thought he was with you?
[Chuckling]
He was definitely not with me.
And where have you been?
What have you done?
Nothing that they didn't deserve.
And who they?
Found the guards who took my sister.
You'll be a wanted man after tonight.
No more than I already was.
Why didn't you wait for us?
Another drink lads?
Think it'd be wise if you leave the whole barrel!
If I hadn't of... taken the horse.
It's not your fault, squire.
No.
Loxley!
By order of the sheriff I order you to lay down your weapons.
Sorry, I can't understand you?
By order of the sheriff,
I demand you lay down your weapons.
I think you looking for other people, not us.
Robin of Loxley, you're wanted for murder.
What?
How did... Who did you kill? Two of the sheriff's guards.
That is disgraceful.
Did you know about this? He told me he was a tap dancer.
Enough!
Lay down your weapons, or we kill you all.
Gentlemen, let us settle this peacefully.
Let us buy you a drink and be on our way.
Step aside little boy. We want Loxley.
Then I'm afraid you're gonna have to go through me.
[Laughing]
Agreed.
[Dramatic music building]
Did you know he could do that? Played me.
[Dramatic music]
Whoa! [Laughing]
Look out, mate!
You stupid metal man!
[Roaring]
Look out, Todd, behind you.
That guy can move!
He can move like the wind this boy.
[Dramatic music playing]
Final warning.

[Crickets chirping]
[Hooting]
Ah, curse this weather!
Ten-to-one I have a cold by the morning.
Cold?
When I was seven years old we were trained as warriors
and sent into the wilderness
with just the shirts on our backs.
Oh please, the north's not that cold you big girl.
Are you insulting me?
Of course not.
I like girls.
[Growling]
Idiots! The fight's out there not here.
[Grunting]
Guys...
the price on our heads will have gone up tenfold
after tonight.
Perhaps it'll encourage people to join the cause.
Or it'll encourage every fool out there with a sword
going for the bounties on our head.
[Thumping]
What did I say that for? You jinxed us.
Knew you were bad luck.
Who goes there?
- We invited no one to dinner. - And the food's all gone.
I'm not here for your food.
I saw what you did to the guards tonight.
I've come to join you.
Yeah right.
What are you gonna do? Wash our clothes?
[Laughing]
Besides, we already have a girl.
[Growling]
We have no use for your skills here.
Really?
The three of you are going to take down
the Sheriff of Nottingham all by yourselves.
What concern of yours is that?
His guards killed my entire family.
Well, we all have sad stories.
What can you contribute?
[Gasping]
[Blade ringing]
Hmm.
It's not that impressive.
What else you got?
Right. She's in.
No, she's not in. You can't just bribe your way in.
She is and she can.
So, shut up and eat up.
So sit down and tell us your name.
My name is Freyda
and if by my sword and cunning we can overthrow the sheriff,
we can restore the land to its...
Yeah, yeah. Enough of your fancy speeches.
As long as you keep bringing food you're in.
Contributing more than these two jesters.
[Soft solemn music]
So what now?
The sheriff will have every guard within 20 miles
looking for us.
Us?
Yes, us.
[Laughing]
You're telling me that if I can knock that mead off your head,
you'll take my watch for tonight?
You won't be hitting it off my head, boy.
I Don't Wanna Hurt You.
Oh, you won't be hurting me can tell you that right now.
Come on.
[Sloshing]
Oh my God, you gotta be joking.
- Did he even hit me? - I didn't see anything.
- Didn't even feel a thing. - Give me another.
- Another go? - Take another ten.
Shh! Can I concentrate?
I didn't even feel it.
- I didn't see it. - One more.
Let's see what you've got.
Oh, you've gotta be joking.
My God.
Gotta be joking.
What about you arrow boy? You want to have a go?
I mean, if you want to volunteer your shift.
I'll take that.
Oh, we'll see about that.
You sure you're up for it?
- Are you ready are? - Born Ready.
[Chuckling]
What about you lass?
A woman knows when to pick her battles.
Yeah, she might break a nail.
You know what?
If you can take this from my head,
I'll do your shift for a week.
Oh, now there's a challenge, eh?
Unless you're scared?
Ooh.
[Quirky music playing]
Oh, she's getting up.
[Bones cracking]
I put my money on the girl.
- Yeah, me too. - That's a bad bet.
Aye, I think the boy is going to be going down, I think.
- I'll be fine. - I don't think so.
[Bones cracking]
Yeah, you better warm up.
Go on, lass.
Don't want to pull you back.
Oh.
[Laughing]
That's bullshit.
[Laughter]
- Oh... - Good one.
...now that's a woman I'd go to war with.
[Laughing]
[Eerie music playing]
[Dog barking]
[Bell tolling]
Your majesty, I can't raise taxes again.
I am already the most hated man in the land.
And that's my problem because?
I may have a creative solution for you.
Show me.
A royal proclamation that will solve all our money problems
by redistributing the wealth to where it rightfully belongs.
Ooh! Where do I sign?
Here your majesty.
[Giggling]
The queen has just issued a royal proclamation
naming me king and has tragically taken her own life.
But I...
We shall all mourn her loss.
[Tense music building]
[Squelching]
[Groaning]
[Grunting]
[Laughing]
Is there a problem with this?
No problems...
your majesty.
[Groaning]
[Dramatic music building]
[Merlin] With the sheriff, now king,
seated firmly on the throne,
any resistance by the suffering people
was quickly and ruthlessly crushed.
[Dramatic music playing]
[Steel clashing]
[People yelling]
[Bell tolling]
[Water trickling]
[Birds chirping]
[Humming]
Robin! You sly fox.
You thought you'd sneak a look, did you?
No, I was up here already. I was sleeping.
I've heard you snore, you weren't sleeping.
- Yes I was. - You weren't.
You know, you could use a bath yourself.
If you're offering?
[Soft laughing]
[Branch cracking]
[Grunting]
- You didn't see that, did you? - No, but I heard it.
Well, I promise you it was as graceful as it sounded.
It didn't sound graceful at all.
[Soft music playing]
Are you sure you know how to do this?
You're not doing it right.
I know how to bathe!
Oh!
I'll have you know I'm one of the cleanest men
in all of Nottingham.
I don't believe that for a second.
Oh, yeah, I'll prove it to you.
[Scoffing
Whoa.
[Groaning]
There you go.
I'm not ready for your tomfoolery.
What the hell, Freyda?
It's just a joke.
[Ominous music playing]
[Bird screeching]
Oh, hello uglies, this is quite a surprise.
Bit of a turn up to be sure and quite unexpected.
That we're back so soon?
No, Robin, that you're back at all.
One beautiful girl, a freak, a weirdo and a...
pet bear.
If you were starting a circus Robin,
I would say you're making great progress.
What does everyone think I'm his pet for?
Did you hear of the attack on the sheriff's men?
Yes, I heard a whole legion was wiped out
by a band of warrior princes.
Freyda, Tuck, Little John, my warrior princes.
And all of you... - Sworn fealty to Robin.
And we'll fight to the end to defeat the sheriff,
or we'll die trying.
Oh, I do hope you don't die.
It would be... such a waste.
Enough.
You said that if I brought in allies, you would assist us
in killing the sheriff.
Here they are. Will you hon our that promise?
Well?
Hmm. It would be my pleasure.
[Chuckling]
[Retching]
[Lively music playing]
[Murmuring]
[Laughing]
Oi!
You're that Robin Hood!
[Music stopping]
[Clattering]
We could get 50 silver pieces if we turn him in.
Quickly, call the guards!
You can turn us in, collect a very hefty bounty
and the sheriff will crush what's left of you.
What crimes have we really committed?
Defending people just like you?
How many of our family members have to die
before we stand up and do what's right?
How many of your own families are starving to death
because you can no longer hunt on your own land.
The same lands that your ancestors died defending
over hundreds of years.
All is not lost.
We can defeat them together.
There is still hope.
[Solemn music playing]
I say we rise as free men and women and we demand a change.
[Cheering]
I say we rise and we take back what's ours!
Who is with us?
[Cheering]
And you'll all die.
And nothing will change.
- Who amongst you speaks? - It's Lancelot.
The one and only.
Honourable knight of knights.
Undefeated.
Once loved by all.
Now...
Nothing.
Still loved by all. Still honourable in our eyes.
Why don't you help them?
Because it is futile.
[Laughing]
The gates to the castle are too heavily guarded.
Even if you did sneak your way past the guards,
you will find yourselves in a Labyrinth of corridors.
The way I see it,
unless you find yourselves a guide
with another way into the castle...
you're as good as dead.
[Laughing]
[Groaning]
[Lively music starting up]
[Water splashing]
[Moaning]
[Coughing and spluttering]
Enough! Enough!
[Panting]
[Coughing]
[Moaning]
This is a waste of time.
He's just a washed-up has-been.
The sheriff will be strengthening
the castles defences...
to shore up his claim on the throne.
You have to act immediately...
reinforcements will be arriving from the Orient
by the new moon.
I ain't afraid of no Orientals. Puny little China men.
Don't underestimate their power friend,
they fight in ways you've never seen.
And what of this way into the castle?
I will tell you what I know,
but you have to take me with you.
You need me.
There's a weak point on the south wing
and I know what it is.
All it needs is a little force.
Maybe a lot.
And why should we believe in drunks such as yourself?
My word is all I have left.
[Thunder rumbling]
[Soft mournful music]
Hmm. Quite a fall.
I mean... these here. This is quite a fall.
Not yours.
Did I bruise your ego?
No.
Just needed to get away from it all.
From me? No. Everything.
You cheated anyway.
Ah...
You know what they say?
All's fair in love and war.
[Soft music playing]
No, you said you weren't ready.
What are we fighting for anyway?
Hmm.
[Soft music continuing]
[Epic music building]
[Blade whistling]
[Groaning]
[Soft music playing]
About tonight...
I'm worried.
- About? - You.
Oh please, I'll be the one worrying about you.
I can't afford to lose anyone else.
Me either.
Come on.
We've got a castle to siege.
[Intrepid music playing]
[Groaning] - Come on!
[Tense music playing]
[Arrow whooshing and man grunting]
[Tense music building]
There. The weak point.
Patched with mudstone.
Leads straight to the corridors adjacent the Queen's chambers.
Lancelot, how was it that you came to know of this passage?
Well, let's just say there was a time
when I held the Queen's favour.
I'm sure you held more than just her favour you sly dog.
[Merlin chuckling]
So we're going to blow this thing up.
No, son...
we're going to melt it.
[Freyda gasps]
[Bubbling and hissing]
[Freyda laughs]
Will you be alongside us, Merlin?
I'm afraid this is where I leave you.
You see, Lancelot, I am a lover nor fighter.
I'll see you all back at home when she's all finished.
Good luck.
Godspeed.
[Tense music playing]
Lift me up.
[Groaning]
[Quirky music playing]
You can't be serious?
[Soldier] What do we do with that market girl,
the one that helped Robin get away?
[Sheriff] Do with her as you wish.
Ah shit.
Robin!
[Quietly] Robin?
He's gone.
[Soldiers murmuring]
It's well cold isn't it? It's well cold.
Think I prefer being out in the grounds.
[Tense music building]
[Soldiers groaning]
Yeah, all the knights are gone.
Funny that.
I never saw Lancelot down there, did I?
I never did. I never saw Lancelot.
[Soldiers muttering]
[Soldiers gasping and yelling]
Yah!
[Moaning]
[Crying out]
[Gagging]
Come on.
So, where do you s'pose he went?
[Tense music]
Fool!
This way.
[Tense music]
[Bow creaking]
[Armour clanging]
Oh.
[Yelling]
[Grunting]
[Tense drumbeat]
[Softly] Where are you sheriff?
[Bow creaking]
Gotcha.
Drop it.
[Tense music]
Enough waiting.
[Yelling]
[All yelling]
[Thunder rumbling]
[Ringing metal]
Lads.
[Sinister music playing]
[Gasping]
[Soft warbling]
[Drumbeat intensifying]
[Hinges creaking]
[Foreboding music]
How thoughtful.
You decided to surrender and save us a lot of time...
and effort.
She had her whole life ahead of her.
Pity it was you who caused her death.
[Grunting] Ah!
[Laughing]
My lord.
[Wooden rattling]
[Splintering wood]
[Laughing]
What is your wish?
A quick death?
My blade plunging into your heart?
Or a slow death, sliced and diced
like a choice piece of meat?
My wish is to cut out your filthy tongue.
[Groaning]
You can join me?
Be my chief archer.
Live in luxury in the castle instead of a forest.
I'd rather die.
As you wish.
Goodbye, Robin.
[Panting]
Robin!
Come on. Robin.
- Wait. - We're gonna get you.
[Soldier] Intruders! Men!
Robin!
Throw him in the dungeon, we'll deal with him later.
Robin, run!
Come on.
There's too many, we must retreat.
Hold him, men. To the parapets!
We have to leave, now.
Intruders! Guards!
Charge!
[Yelling and shouting]
Horses await by the treeline. Make haste!
Move! Let's go!
What are you doing? Come on!
[Thunder rumbling]
Lancelot!
I will hold them back.
Go! Go now!
[Hinges creaking]
[Water trickling]
[Laughing]
[Mournful music playing]
Up.
Straight.
[Mournful music continuing]
[Gasping]
- Enough! - Couple more.
The sheriff wants him alive for his public hanging tomorrow.
[Mournful music continuing]
[Groaning]
Throw him in number four.
He'll enjoy the company.
[Gate rattling]
[Lock rattling]
[Ghostly murmuring]
Are you alive friend?
Yes, barely.
Lancelot...
How? Where are the others?
[Mournful music playing]
I stayed to hold back the sheriff's guards
while they escaped.
[Groaning]
That's very brave of you...
and honourable.
This is all my fault.
I should not have brought you here.
It was my fault.
I shouldn't have run off like that.
Selfish.
In a few hours...
our last sunrise will peak through these bars.
Where there is life, there is still hope.
[Scoffing]
Hope left this godforsaken kingdom long ago.
[Birds chirping]
[Grinding]
Ah, friends, how did it go?
Not as you'd hoped, I'm guessing.
[Sneering] Hello ugly.
Listen, I told you any arrangement,
contractual business dealings we may have had are now off.
Come now, as if you get to choose.
I merely wanted to invite you to my coronation ball.
I thought my own brother should be there.
I have no brother.
And since you betrayed everything we believed in,
I want no part of you or your world.
And so you actively assist the realm's enemies?
Your enemies.
Brother!
Think of what we could achieve
with you by my side as my advisor?
I'll admit, my methods aren't always the most...
Savoury.
Let's not nit-pick.
With the throne now in my hands,
we could build our kingdom to rival that of Camelot.
Centuries from now, people will say our names with...
Revulsion, horror, regret.
You always were a disappointment to the family.
[Grunting]
I am so going to miss these little family chats of ours.
[Soft tolling]
[Dramatic music building]
[Straining]
Oh shit.
[Foreboding music playing]
[Soldier grunting]
- We'll take care of this. - I'll find Robin.
[John growling]
[Metal clanging]
[Soldiers groaning]
[Panting]
[Soldier grunting then groaning]
[Deep breathing]
[Eerie crying
[Tense music playing]
[Soldier snoring]
[Tense music continuing]
Freyda! I'm sorry, I saw the Sheriff.
Sh. Sh. Sh.
[Soldier snoring]
Psst, Lancelot, wake up. Freyda's here.
[Tense music]
Freyda, on your right, look out!
[Soldier muttering]
Take your hands off her!
- Ah! - Freyda, run!
Run for your life. Get out.
Come on you little blondie. Goodnight princess.
[Freyda crying out]
Bastard!
Robin!
Fight! Take your hands off her! Get off! Ah!
[Soldier] Grab her. Grab her now.
Taking you to the sheriff. He'll know what to do with you.
Get off me!
I'm going to kill you!
Freyda! No!
Bring her back!
[Eerie horns wailing]
The people rose and the rebellion began.
[Epic music playing]
[Steel clashing]
[Yelling]
[Both straining]
[Eerie horns wailing]
[Bell tolling]
[Ominous music plays]
I'm coming with you.
[Soldier] Move it, move it.
Let me take care of this lot.
- Good luck. - Where are you going?
To get my arm our back.
[Bone crunching]
Run you slimy dog!
Cowards. Time to send in the real men. I'll go.
[Thumping and grunting]
[Tense music playing]
Hey? Hey?
Did you spend that money, Robin give you?
Thieving whore.
Sergeant!
Hello, shiny knight.
You coward.
I came here to protect the people.
Innocent people like her, from vermin like you!
[Chuckling]
Ah, princess.
Now have two bitches!
- Ooh! - Ah!
[Laughing]
That was... pretty good.
[Grunting and yelling]
[Laughing]
Go! Run!
She ain't going nowhere.
Neither are you!
Ah!
[Bow creaking]
Tuck!
[Metal clanging]
[Men yelling]
[Bow creaking]
Go.
You have to finish this.
There's far too many.
Looks like a fair fight to me.
Godspeed brother.
[Soldier grunting]
[Swords whistling]
[Grunting]
Drop it.
Drop it!
[Grunting]
You know, she screamed so much...
and she knew that it was all your fault!
Now, you'll be responsible for the deaths of two whores.
Freyda! No!
Die, bitch!
[Robin yelling]
[Grunting and straining]
[Soldier yelling]
[Soldier chuckling]
[Grunting and yelling]
[Lancelot grunting]
Not quick enough!
The arm our...
[Lancelot groaning]
...looks better on me anyhow.
- I heard it's hard to move in. - Hmm.
[Yelling]
[Panting]
Not from me you worm.
[Yelling]
[Shrieking]
No. No, no, no. I'm over here. Not her.
No!
[Growling]
Such a shame. She was so pretty too.
[Yelling]
[Robin groaning]
[Both straining]
[Metal ringing]
[Soldiers groaning]
[Soldiers yelling]
[Metal clanging]
[Straining]
[Both yelling and grunting]
[Metal clunking]
That elbow always jams!
Thieving bitch!
[Groaning]
[Triumphant music playing]
Show us.
Show us!
Another friend once told me...
where there is life...
there is hope.
Just shut up!
[Yelling]
Do you need a hand, boy?
[Yelling and grunting]
- John! - Uh?
[Groaning]
[Solemn music playing]
[Groaning]
Ah!
[Solemn music continuing]
[Yelling]
[Soldier gurgling]

He was a great warrior.
He was an honourable man.
[Mournful music playing]
[Liquid sloshing]
[Mournful music continuing]
[Arrow whistling]
[Crickets chirping]
[Solemn music playing]
[Cheering and applause]
My people! People...
My friends...
for far too long the powers that be
have robbed us of our families, our loved ones, and our wealth.
That era is now over.
[Cheering and applause]
A new dawn stands before us.
So many people have died for us to have this freedom.
We would do well to remember their sacrifice.
But this day... this day is a day of joy.
[Cheering]
This day is a day of victory!
[Cheering]
This day we give the wealth of this land back to you!
[Cheering]
[Chuckling]
[Cheering and applause]
[Rooster crowing]
[Heraldic fanfare playing]
[Cheering]
[Triumphant music]
My friends, this peace has been hard won.
Keeping it will be even harder.
We trust you, Robin. The people trust you.
I may have been the man to lead us in rebellion,
but not in peacetime.
This position must go to a man of hon our, a statesman,
someone that we can all trust.
Lancelot, you've proven yourself to be worthy.
I hand this position to you.
Robin? I don't know what to say.
All those in favour say, "Aye".
[All] Aye! Aye.
Then it is settled.
You hon our me, dear friends. I will not let you down.
Have we finished with all this talking then?
It would seem so.
[Chuckling] [Laughing]
Let's gets sloshed.
To a new future.
[All] To a new future!
[Bell tolling]
[Soft music playing]
And with the power vested in me,
I now pronounce you man and wife.
You may now kiss the bride.
[Cheering and applause]
[Wolf whistling]
How long do you think this'll last for?
Where there is love, there is hope.
[Cheering]
[Laughing]

[Coins tinkling]
[Heraldic fanfare playing]
[Hammer clanking]
[Screaming and wailing]
[Arrows whistling]
[Ominous music playing]
Surprised to see me?
Wizards like me do not die unless they plan it
and this adventure has gone exactly to plan.
The trick lies in not making people believe you are magic,
but rather making them believe that you are not.
Long live the king.
[Evil laughing]
