Trapped by the sheriff stands robbing like a mighty rock and fall to the bravest.
and now.
Everybody,
no,
no.
stop.
Hey,
Robin,
they say you're an archer.
I have pulled a bow.
Can you split the one?
I can try.
Yeah.
No,
Edgar,
no,
your swings too wide.
You,
you look as if you're mowing oats.
Now hold your staff at the quarter.
Black feathers
All is well,
we'll get,
what did you get?
What you got in the purse,
gold,
the outlaws of Sher Forest are making quite a name for themselves.
king's ransom must be near 100 guineas.
Thank you.
What goose did you fuck today?
Well,
some kinsman of Sir Phillips.
They're on their way to the castle.
Any trouble?
No,
the guards just ran like mice.
Look at that.
Cheek
head low.
We brought in some treasure,
so I see.
Aren't you too interested in gold?
What's your head,
Edgar.
The lads say it's worth 80 guineas.
That's a good many guineas.
It's a fair,
Perry.
It's a good many more than you brought in since he joined us.
Our turn's coming,
isn't it?
Thanks to you,
Robbie.
He's a good teacher,
W,
perhaps I should take a lesson from the master.
I don't think you need any lessons in fighting Will.
Then I can give you one.
Will.
Give him one.
Yes.
You were against us,
Robin Sir Phillip's party,
weren't you?
I said nothing,
but it was in your head.
True,
I would have chosen someone else to rob.
When you need weapons and supplies,
you rob,
and the devil care who.
Sir Phillip's a good man and a good friend of mine.
Oh,
so that's it.
He's one of the gentry.
He's not really one of us.
Sir Phillip treats his people well.
The country is full of those who don't.
Why don't you rob them?
Keep your advice until you're asked,
or I'll ram it down your throat and the will.
Well,
you're a better man than some of your deeds,
but it's true that so far I haven't earned my keep.
Ah
Come on,
Edgar,
let's go and try our hands at our new craft.
How about him?
He's an unpleasant looking character Ebert of Doncaster.
Is she a friend of yours?
That definitely is.
I hate money lenders,
especially that one.
Tell me the worst about him so I can commit my first robbery with an easy conscience.
Well,
he comes around in winter when the people are hard put
to it to find food and lends him a few shillings.
That doesn't sound so bad.
Yeah,
but he collects twice as much as he lends,
and those that can't pay his friend the sheriff arrests him.
Excellent,
he's our man.
To your post
Ready.
Take cover.
What?
Well,
what the devil you.
How close.
Are you sure?
I heard stealthy footsteps in the forest.
It must be the outlaws.
There it is.
Probably a deer.
You are a cautious fellow,
no mistake.
Letting an animal scare you.
I,
I have to be cautious.
I,
I carry a full purse.
Oh.
Are you a are you a merchant?
No,
I'm a,
I'm sort of a collection agent.
Yes we're both going the same way.
Let's go together.
It's,
it's safer in pairs,
as you will.
Yeah
Uh
Oh.
Hang it,
fella,
you nearly broke my neck.
Oh,
I thought I heard that.
Oh,
your timidity is a greater menace to the outlaws.
Get off me.
Oh.
00,
probably a rabbit.
Yeah.
You can afford to be brave since you probably carry no more than a few shillings.
Yeah.
Are you a merchant?
Well,
no,
not exactly.
I'm a sort of a collection agent myself.
Ah,
then we're colleagues.
Aren't you afraid of losing your money?
Oh,
no,
not really.
I fancy I could outwit a simple-minded outlaw.
To cover,
hold on.
Let's have no more of this hustling into ditches.
I wish my mind was easier about my money.
Oh,
put your money in your boat.
In my boot,
yes,
in your boot,
and leave a few shillings in your purse for the outlaws if they should stop us.
What a splendid idea.
Excuse me.
My mind's at ease.
But now my foot hurts.
Uh,
security must always be gained at some sacrifice.
Hand over your purse.
I'll do what it says.
Be quick about it.
Yes sir.
Yes,
yes sir.
we'll do anything you say,
please don't look at our boots,
boots.
Oh,
boots,
hey,
crafty,
come on,
hand them over.
Yeah
Acorns?
You said you were a collection agent.
I am.
I collect acorns.
And you,
come on.
Uh.
Yeah
And the other one.
Ah.
Oh,
look what your friend collects,
Robin.
Robin,
you're one of them.
You're one of the outlaws.
They set up I you for this.
That's right.
Now run along and give my compliments to the chef,
but what about my boots?
Boots?
Oh yes,
very nice boots.
These must be the people he collected from.
Do you recognize any of the names?
I don't know.
Oh,
I know Hawkins.
He lives at Kirkbr.
Is it far from here on the edge of the forest?
Why?
If the money lender collected double,
then half of his money belongs to the victims.
We better make haste.
This is a long list.
Strangest trouble.
Hawkins,
aye.
Isn't that the money lenders' list?
Yes,
we ran into Herbert of Doncaster on the road and
uh arranged to do some of his business for him.
In November you borrowed two silver marks.
True,
and I took my pig to Nottingham last week and sold it to pay the debt.
There must be some mistake.
I tell you are paid,
and there's no use trying to collect more because we haven't got farthing left.
I'm not trying to collect more.
It's written here that you paid back 4 silver marks.
Aye,
and we shall go hungry because of it.
I'm not surprised when you pay back double what you borrow.
Give him back 2 silver marks.
Bless you,
gentlemen.
I'm grateful for this friend.
It can make a lot of difference.
Are you on the money lenders' list?
Yes.
What's your name?
Huh at the wood.
I borrowed 3 marks last winter.
What did you pay back?
6.
Give him back 3 marks.
If we should ever want to borrow money again,
can we find you in Nottingham?
No,
our headquarters are in Sherwood Forest.
The men of Sherwood.
I've heard about you.
You've probably heard that we're thieves and outlaws.
No,
well,
I mean one of the sheriff's men did say,
These are strange times,
Hawkins,
when the sheriff protects those who steal and brands as thieves,
those who return the stolen goods.
Now,
where's Thomas Tyler up over.
Come on,
Edgar.
Whose arrow is that?
I know nothing.
I just found it in my door.
Wouldn't have come from Sherwood Forest by any chance.
The outlaws,
why should they leave money?
That's what I intend to find out.
I'll take this arrow to my lord,
the sheriff.
Yeah.
Oh
OK.
Uh
Sheriff,
they robbed me.
Who robbed you.
The outlaws in the forest and look,
they took my boots.
Sit down,
man.
Have you collected the money?
Yes,
they took 15 pounds.
If you collected 15 pounds,
my share is 5.
Bring it to me this afternoon.
But I told you,
they robbed me.
Exactly.
They robbed you,
not me.
I expect my share to be paid in full.
Well,
you're as much to blame as I am.
You're supposed to protect honest people like me from
Rose.
How did they find the money in your boots?
I told one of them.
You what?
Well,
you don't understand.
I thought he was respectable,
like me.
He spoke like a gentleman,
you can't tell the difference between a gentleman
and a cutthroat who deserve to be robbed.
But I'll tell you this one they call robbing would have fooled anybody,
even you.
Robin
They called him Robin.
Yes,
I might have guessed it.
Hi.
Yes sir.
You remember Robin the blocks there?
Yes sir.
I have reason to believe that he's joined the outlaws in Sherwood Forest.
And I think this arrow is his that my man brought in.
In that case,
the outlaws will be even more dangerous.
He's a trained soldier,
one of the finest archers in England.
Don't tell me what I already know.
Find a way to capture him.
Lay some sort of trap.
Have to be a clever one.
He's nobody's fool.
We might offer some more of the same bribe.
Send Herbert back again with a new pair of boots stuffed with gold.
No,
not me,
I don't want anything more to do with that fellow.
I just want my gold back.
Our gold.
You said that there are 15 guineas.
Well,
That was before we gave half of them back.
Before you
What sort of outlaws are you robbing and giving back to the people it belonged to,
not the money lender.
Robin,
this is your doing,
and I give you fair warning.
If you're staying with us,
you'll follow our rules.
We're here to stay alive,
keep out of the sheriff's reach,
not to right wrongs done to others.
If we throw in our lot with people who are wronged,
we stand a better chance of staying alive and out of the sheriff's reach.
Right,
lad
on the Wattling Road,
old John of Lincoln in his wagon full of wine.
How much of a God?
Oh just old John,
his two boys,
we can catch them before they get to the village while they're still in the forest.
I wonder if it's worth it.
Why it's worth it,
all right,
John and Lincoln,
that's the best wine in Nottinghamshire.
I meant worth the risk.
Now what's sticking in the gullet?
Old John's a swine and a rich one at that.
I wasn't thinking of that.
Their shipment of wine just went through last week.
Does it strike you as odd that another one's going through so soon?
Hard or not.
We are thirsty.
What do you say,
lads?
Do we rob the wagon?
Yeah.
You can stay behind if you're afraid.
I miss all the fun.
I'm coming along.
Tell your boys to drop their bows,
Johnny Lincoln,
or their mother will be a sorry woman tonight.
say that
And the next one you hear Gabriel's.
Get in.
Get up.
Oh.
I.
Oh come on
Oh
It's a trap,
take cover.
I
We can't hold on here.
They'll be us from both sides.
We'll have to run for it.
It
Don't come with him,
lads.
I'll come your retreat.
Gone for it.
I'm done for it.
I
What.
Yeah.
How many hours have you left?
Right
Right.
Careful,
Robin.
The sheriff's men are all around us.
We have a wanted man.
We need your help.
I,
so I see.
Make for my own.
There's only 100 paces.
Leave the rest to me.
You and Nyla take will by the edge of the forest till you're clear of the trap,
then cut down through Badger's Hollow.
What about the sheriff's men?
You and I'll hold them off and hide in Hawkins hut.
How many are there?
2 for sure.
There they are.
They won't get away.
Cos in
Take your hands off me.
I've done nothing.
Your lordship,
finish him off.
There,
I'm no outlaw.
This is my own.
He's right,
he belongs to Lord Severn,
I know him.
Why did you let them get into your house?
Let them?
They said they'd kill me.
You're lying.
No,
I'm not.
I hate outlaws.
I can prove it to you.
You can burn me out down so long as you wipe them out.
It's not a bad idea.
Get a torch.
Someone will have to run in with it.
There's no telling how many arrows they've got left.
You,
that's how you can prove your loyalty.
I don't mind
burning my house my wife and child are in the field.
If he hesitates run through.
Hi
They're not coming out.
They've been roasted at that.
Roasting or hanging.
What's the difference?
You all right?
OK
You were right,
Robin.
The wine.
Too costly.
Too much
blood in it.
What can I do for you,
Will?
Take,
take my,
my place.
You're an odd sort,
rabbit.
But I think
you're the man.
They'll remember.
We'll remember you.
Follow.
Hello
Robin.
Robin
Put
Yeah.
A brave man's sword should not outlive him.
