Robin Hood Page #7

On my mother's life, I swear it.

Godfrey makes for Nottingham.

I must stay with the King.

I will send Baldwin and Fitzrobert with you.

We will meet again at the White Horse

when you are finished.

Robin, your father was a great man.

And you are your father's son.

Maggie, who's at the house?

Long live the King!

Gentlemen.

I'm the Sheriff of Nottingham.

I'm French on my mother's side.

Sir Walter! Sir Walter!

Loxley!

Show yourself!

Loxley!

Who calls here?

I call for Robert Loxley.

My son is not here to answer you.

That is the truth.

Because he's dead in a French ditch.

And who are you, sir, to say so?

Who am I?

I'm the one who killed him.

Fight me if you dare.

Lord have mercy.

Leave it on the table. Leave it! Next!

Next! Come on!

- Name?

- Loxley.

Christian name?

Marion.

Land?

Lady Marion Loxley?

I am.

Gentlemen, enjoy!

No one should have 4,000 acres.

Baldwin! Fitzrobert!

Take the southern flank

and circle in from the west.

Will and Allan,

get on the rooftops and pick your targets.

Lady Marion.

Quickly.

Follow me.

Somebody, please take the baby!

Save the baby, please!

John, down!

It's all right.

Go around.

Stand back!

Make way!

Hurry. It's all right. It's all right.

Please, hurry! Hurry!

Sword!

Get down,

you bastard French dogs!

Where will King Philip land

and when?

This is my last arrow.

Dungeness! Dungeness. Two days.

There we have it. We have two days.

Once before I said goodbye

to a man going to war.

He never came back.

Ask me nicely.

I love you, Marion.

Longstride!

What news of Walter and Nottingham?

Sir Walter is dead. Godfrey's hand.

Gentlemen, we go to war.

It is my first time. I shall lead.

Forward!

That's a lot of French.

What's to be done?

Archers to the cliff top.

Cavalry to the beach. We'll await you there.

- With me!

- Archers!

Excellent plan.

Cavalry!

Ready!

Raise arrows!

Raise arrows!

Ready!

Raise arrows!

Release! Release!

Release!

For the love of God, Marion!

Loxley,

circle your troops and then join the charge.

With me!

Release!

Release!

Forward!

Archers, forward!

Let's go, Marshal.

We're close enough, Sire.

This was not

close enough for Richard.

And look what happened to him.

Forward!

Protect the King!

This is for you, Walter.

No!

Marion!

Marion!

Surrender!

Sire! Sire!

They've surrendered, Sire!

Yes! To whom?

To him.

Longstride!

Longstride!

Longstride!

Longstride!

I did not make myself king.

God did.

King by divine right.

Now you come to me with this document

seeking to limit the authority

given to me by God!

Sire, you gave your word!

No.

- Sire, you give us our word, Sire!

- Did I command you to speak, sir?

- John...

- Or you, madam?

Sire, we looked to you!

Look to your estates, instead.

Archers!

You are fortunate

that I am in a merciful mood.

But as for Robin Longstride,

that mason's son,

for the crimes of theft

and incitement to cause unrest,

who pretended to be a knight of the realm,

a crime punishable by death,

I declare him,

from this day forth, to be an outlaw!

To be hunted all the days of his life...

- We will not stand for this!

...until his corpse, unburied, is carrion

for foxes and crows!

Hear me! Hear me!

By royal decree,

Robin Longstride,

also known as Robin of the Hood,

and all who shelter him or aid him

are declared outlaws of the realm,

Their properties forfeit,

and their lives shall be taken

by any Englishman on sight.

A nail please? And a hammer.

A nail!

Off you go. Come on.

Hey, boys.

- You've been practising tying your knots?

- Yes.

Have you been shooting

your bow and arrows?

Who hit something? Anyone?

The greenwood

is the outlaw's friend.

Now, the orphan boys make us welcome.

No tax, no tithe.

Nobody rich, nobody poor.

Fair shares for all at nature's table.

Many wrongs to be righted

in the country of King John.

Watch over us, Walter.

For the Lion Heart!
