00:00Previously on Robin Hood
00:14I apologize for my lateness
00:21I believe you arrived just in time
00:22Mother, I come bearing gifts
00:25My lord, I did not know
00:28Maid Marian of Loxley
00:30You will swear your fealty to me
00:32And serve as lady in waiting
00:34What brings you here, my son?
00:36Father's days are numbered
00:37It is my intention that I take his place
00:39Blood does not make a proper king
00:41My path is decided
00:42And it will be the throne
00:45John would defy anything
00:47That doesn't serve John
00:49I must know his mind, his methods
00:51His endgame
00:52How am I to do such a thing?
00:55Make yourself visible
00:56Be a rose, not a lily
00:58I came to speak with you about Priscilla
01:00I would like your permission to court her
01:03Any hurt done to her by you
01:06Shall be repaid a thousandfold
01:08Tell me what you know of the forest
01:10To Hugh of Loxley
01:11Heron was a horrible accident
01:13It was all an accident
01:14I didn't mean for any of this to happen
01:16It doesn't matter what you meant
01:17I never want to see you again
01:20I made a deal
01:21With who?
01:22Eleanor
01:23She wants to stir the rebellion
01:24To what end?
01:25To force the king to come here
01:26And you get what?
01:27She'll release Marian from her charge
01:29Time to settle accounts
01:36And I would kill you
01:38But leaving you with no gold
01:39Is a far crueler fate
01:40Robin Hood has robbed Baron Warwick
01:42I am holding you
01:44The leaders of the Saxon community responsible
01:47You will be jailed
01:48Until Robin Hood comes forward
01:50And submits himself to Norman Justice
01:53The leaders of the Saxon community responsible
02:23And the leaders of the Saxon community responsible
02:53Your presence is requested
03:06And the leaders of the Saxon community responsible
03:08And the leaders of the Saxon community responsible
03:36Robin Hood has once again evaded justice
03:43I can only suspect the Saxon people have had a hand in it
03:47I have tried reasoning with you
03:53Offering civility, breaking bread
03:57Now it seems a more direct approach is in order
04:01So
04:05One of you
04:08Will be freed
04:09To deliver Robin Hood a message
04:11If he does not surrender by week's end
04:13The rest of you will hang
04:16As traitors
04:17It is time Hood learned the true price
04:22Of his defiance
04:24If you value the lives of the others
04:34You will get my message to Hood
04:36Do you truly believe Robin Hood will surrender?
04:44I hope not
04:45If he did, he'd ruin my plans
04:48It feels different, doesn't it?
05:14The air
05:16Thicker with influence
05:18Sharper with ambition
05:19Is that what that smell is?
05:23You're nervous
05:24You belong here, Priscilla
05:28You've always known how to navigate any room
05:31And turn it in your favor
05:31Westminster's no different
05:33Wilderness of its own
05:35Complete with predators and prey
05:37Sounds like my kind of jungle
05:41So, I see he's brought a pet from Nottingham
05:58I give her a week
06:00Perhaps less
06:01I love parts without the company
06:04She won't last
06:06Soon
06:33All of Westminster
06:36Will be introduced to Lady Priscilla of Nottingham
06:38Marshal
06:43It's beautiful
06:45You must be properly adored
06:49It feels good to be here
06:53Away from Nottingham
06:55Far away from the devil Robin Hood
06:59What's the tide bringing today?
07:19A ship from the east
07:21Yes, it's beautiful
07:41A ship from the east
07:42Yes, it's beautiful
07:43John, it's been some time.
08:03I was beginning to think you died.
08:07Not for lack of trying.
08:11Let's talk.
08:13Rob.
08:14Rob?
08:15Not Robin Hood?
08:17Is this not the name you were given?
08:20Not by my father.
08:23By my enemy.
08:25Then it will be the one that endures.
08:29The name your enemy curses is the one history will write.
08:34Ibrahim Al Rashid.
08:50I'll Rashid.
08:53The rightly guided.
08:55A name fitting for a man with instincts.
08:57A man such as myself.
08:59Where did you learn Arabic?
09:01Well, I don't know.
09:02It was just that name.
09:03It was from a book my mother made me read.
09:06She was a good mother then?
09:08Yeah, she was.
09:09Bird of your exploits has reached London.
09:13Stealing from Norman Lords.
09:15Infuriating Nottingham's crusader.
09:18The sheriff.
09:20It's impressive.
09:21I'm not here to be admired.
09:23Do you have what we need?
09:25Steel.
09:37We'll take these.
09:38Those are more.
09:39How much more?
09:40Fifty ducats.
09:42We didn't bring that much gold to the city.
09:46But we have more hidden.
09:48I can have that brought to you in the next week.
09:50I don't know, John.
09:52I've never failed to pay.
09:53You never face what you are facing.
09:56You're not taking on drunken soldiers in a tavern.
09:59You are challenging the sheriff.
10:02And a man like that collects his debts in blood.
10:05I think you are going to die.
10:08He won't die.
10:10But he's too big to die.
10:11Look at him.
10:15You ask much of me, Hug.
10:17We'll make good on our debt.
10:24And more than gold will owe you something greater.
10:28What is that?
10:30Loyalty.
10:31Something's changed.
10:41A few nights ago, your ambitions ended at the borders of Nottingham.
10:45Now here we are in London, making alliances with Saracens.
10:49What aren't you telling me?
10:57Time for hell.
10:58There's a long ways back.
11:00And we must be properly satiated.
11:05Not for me.
11:06You go on.
11:07I have something I need to do.
11:10Ah.
11:12Go on.
11:12I can get you to the traitor's gate.
11:29No further.
11:31The woman you want, her quarter's eye in the east wing.
11:35That's all I was told.
11:37That's all I need.
11:42That's all I need.
12:13No further.
12:16I can call her.
12:16I'll give her up.
12:21Bye.
12:27Bye.
12:28Bye.
12:29Bye.
12:29Bye.
12:33Bye.
12:35Bye.
12:40Bye.
12:41Bye.
12:41Bye.
12:42Oh.
13:12Oh.
13:24Marianne.
13:26Oh.
13:27Pete, he's sick. What are you doing here?
13:30Leave!
13:31I need you to do something for me.
13:33What are you talking about?
13:37You deliver this to the Queen.
13:39You can tell her it came from Robin Hood.
13:42You dare speak that name in front of me.
13:47And you have the gall to ask anything of me.
13:50Leave, Rob. Now.
13:54No, I will.
13:57I only need you to tell me one thing,
13:59and that's you don't love me.
14:01You say it and you'll never see me again.
14:16Love has nothing to do with it.
14:20Love has everything to do with it.
14:22What else is there?
14:23There's all the rest of it.
14:26There's my brother. He's dead.
14:29And there are your lies.
14:34The question is whether I love you or not.
14:38The question is, do I want to love you?
14:40And the answer is no, I don't.
14:44I don't.
15:00What's wrong with you, Nottingham?
15:01What's wrong with you, Nottingham?
15:06Nothing.
15:07What's wrong with you?
15:09That can be an idea.
15:10Why don't you think anything other...
15:13You're a strong anger.
15:14You're very charismatic strength to end.
15:16We must be with you.
15:17What's wrong with you?
15:18Who'll hurt you in front of you?
15:20Part of us?
15:21Bill?
15:22It's not為 you to let us turn around.
15:23Prince John seeks an audience with the Pope, then he's after papal endorsement.
15:40It's a requirement for any noble who wants to ascend the throne.
15:44It won't be easy.
15:46The path to his holiness is never straight, it's a political dance.
15:49And we just sit with the cardinals first, navigate their ambitions and egos just to get near his holiness.
15:55And even then, the Pope's blessing will not come cheap.
16:00John doesn't have any funds.
16:01No. But from what I understand, he's seeking patrons.
16:06I still have reliable agents in Rome.
16:09You do?
16:11Write to them, tell them I want their full attention to this matter.
16:14And beyond that?
16:16Nothing. We wait.
16:17Good. You set the board and then we make a move.
16:23John's proving smarter than I give him credit for.
16:32Well, he is my son after all.
16:38Well, I've had to first.
16:40Well, I'm in a sucker for it, but he's looking at some of the kind of stuff.
16:42I probably need to find someone after life.
16:43Just find your face.
16:45And the foreb
17:35Where is he?
17:48Who?
17:49Robin Hood.
17:51Where do they hide?
17:54Don't lie to me.
17:55I know you foresters can find him.
18:05The palace suits you.
18:07Of course it does.
18:08Have you seen who I'm here with?
18:10The measure of a woman isn't whose arm she's on.
18:14You told me that once.
18:16Did I?
18:17Well, that was before said arm belonged to the Isle Marshal at Pembroke.
18:21You're different with him.
18:23In a good way.
18:24He's like no other man I've ever known.
18:27He doesn't try to shrink me.
18:29He doesn't want to.
18:30You love him, don't you?
18:34Yes.
18:37I'm happy for you, Priscilla.
18:41You're thinking about Rob again, aren't you?
18:44I would have thought you'd moved on to something better by now.
18:47Someone less impossible.
18:49I'm trying.
18:51It's just...
18:52Well, last night I was unavoidably reminded of him.
18:55Marion!
18:56What do you think a life with Rob would look like?
18:59He'd be hunted.
19:00To the ends of the earth.
19:02Is that your dream?
19:04To ruin yourself for a man who can't even save himself?
19:08No, of course not.
19:11Sweet Marion.
19:13Nothing will change what Rob has become.
19:16The man you loved is gone.
19:18Beyond gone.
19:19Condemned.
19:22I know.
19:25And I accept it.
19:41Elder Gainwell, sire.
19:43He has an entreaty to make.
19:46Let us hear it then.
19:52Hang in the others will only stoke the fire between Saxon and Norman.
19:59A man must die for Rob's actions.
20:02Let it be me alone.
20:04A selfless act and admirable game, well, but...
20:07Ultimately meaningless.
20:11The law must be upheld, or this land would slide back into the Anarchy it once knew before Norman rule brought order.
20:19What you call order, sire, is but a cudgel wielded by the elite to strip Saxons of their birthright.
20:24The same tired grievance.
20:26The same tired grievance.
20:27The same tired grievance.
20:28What tired?
20:30True, sire.
20:32Levies that break the backs of honest men.
20:35Laws that serve the privileged alone.
20:40For Saxon cannot pay, he starves.
20:42If he resists, he hangs.
20:43You speak of justice, Gamewell.
20:51Justice?
20:53Was it justice that hung you, Loxley?
20:55I tried to help Loxley.
20:59I offered him a station of honour, Head Forrester.
21:02He spat on it.
21:05Defied the very law he swore to serve.
21:07He knew the penalty.
21:08He was a good man.
21:13And yet, one of your own testified against him.
21:21A Saxon?
21:23Olwyn, the Forrester.
21:25It was his word that condemned Hugh Loxley.
21:33I didn't start these troubles, Gamewell.
21:37In fact, I did everything in my power to prevent them.
21:40I sought peace, but my hand was forced.
21:48So here we are.
21:50Robin Hood will pay for his crimes, just as his father did before him.
21:55The rope will tighten.
21:58And the world will move on.
22:00Except for anyone who gets between myself and the boy.
22:14Have I read you wrong, Marion?
22:17I'd have thought a woman of ambition would prefer the courts of men to the fields of God.
22:21I prefer beauty, wherever I find it.
22:26Beauty is an interesting thing, isn't it?
22:28It requires both patience and control.
22:30Control?
22:33Doesn't beauty flourish best when left untamed?
22:36Well, that depends.
22:37Some things left to grow wild become magnificent.
22:41Others become weeds.
22:43Perhaps that is the burden of the gardener, to know the difference.
22:46Unfortunately, Your Highness, today I feel more a weed than flower.
22:53Now that, Marion, is the first thing you've ever been wrong about.
23:00Gardenseer should be grander.
23:02Like at Fontainebleau.
23:03Have you been?
23:05I'll take you someday.
23:07That is, if you stop disappearing.
23:11Disappearing?
23:12You always seem to find a reason to slip from my soirees, just before they get interesting.
23:17Your mother's presence tends to complicate matters.
23:21Well, she won't always be here.
23:23When she's gone, much will change.
23:27New rulers.
23:29New alliances.
23:32Perhaps even a new queen, one day.
23:36A new queen?
23:39Who would dare wish for such a thing?
23:42It's not a wish, Marion.
23:44It is an inevitability.
23:46Time ends all things.
23:49And all people.
23:51Tell me.
23:53Don't you ever wish for something greater than what you were given?
23:58Sometimes, yes.
24:00Of course you do.
24:01A woman like you isn't meant to simply exist.
24:04She's meant to have whatever she wants.
24:10And you shall, Maid Marian.
24:13All you must do is speak it.
24:16A woman.
24:26A man.
24:28A woman.
24:30A woman.
24:32A curse upon you.
24:51Because of you, good Saxons will hang your uncle among them.
24:59What are you talking about?
25:01You're of uncle, and for more, the Sheriff took them.
25:06Punish them for what you did to Baron Warrick.
25:09You'll hang them all, unless you tin yourself in.
25:17My uncle is guilty of nothing.
25:21He did everything to live by their customs.
25:26He respected their laws, he paid his taxes.
25:27He sent his only son to court, and this is his repayment.
25:32Betrayal.
25:35Execution.
25:36What if we bargain?
25:37Offer him gold for Gainwell's life?
25:40Sheriff's a kingsman, not a merchant.
25:42What I do is return a gold to Warrick and hang him anyway.
25:47Then I'll turn myself in.
25:49No, you won't.
25:52He'll make you watch the others die and then kill you.
25:54He's out to make a point.
25:57There's no way around it.
25:58We will ride to Nottingham and free them.
26:03A fight.
26:04A language I understand.
26:07Assaulting a Norman castle is suicide.
26:10We've done it before, and we're all still here.
26:11They didn't know we were coming then.
26:13But what do you suggest, Tuck?
26:15Just leave them to die.
26:16No, that's not what I'm suggesting.
26:18But if you go head on, you will all die.
26:22You, your uncle, everyone.
26:24You know another way.
26:26Hmm?
26:27Saxons built that castle.
26:29I bet that castle holds secrets.
26:31It does.
26:33The first day I was locked up, I shared a wall with a stonemason.
26:36He kept on about escaping through a sally port.
26:40What's that?
26:42It's a bit of a secret entrance, as I understand it.
26:44Well, for slipping out during a siege.
26:47Oh, he's right.
26:48Lightly tapped along the eastern wall, closest to the tree line.
26:51If the sheriff was ever to run, that's where he'd go.
26:54Even if we get in, we'd still be blind.
26:58No.
27:01I know every passage.
27:03Every stairwell, the halls for servants.
27:07I can lead us through.
27:09Are you sure?
27:12I'm sure.
27:13Let me go.
27:14At night, in and out.
27:18Before the sheriff realizes his cage is empty.
27:34Hiding?
27:36No, thinking.
27:36Thinking.
27:36I missed you.
27:40I missed you.
27:42While you were gone.
27:47You kissed me.
27:50Did you like it?
27:53I did.
27:56Then why did you stop?
27:59Why didn't you take me to bed?
28:01It wouldn't have been right.
28:05It wouldn't have been right.
28:07Why?
28:16You still love her.
28:17I can make you forget her.
28:30I can make you forget her.
28:35Let me.
28:35No more being noble.
28:59Well, we could die tonight.
29:04But if we don't, you will take me to bed.
29:07You look as though you've taken a wrong turn.
29:32A little far from Nottingham, I suppose.
29:40I'm looking for the East Wing.
29:43Earl Marshall's chambers.
29:44The East Wing?
29:45I think you'd be more at home in the South.
29:50The South?
29:52The servants' quarters.
29:54You?
29:56Must be so learned if it's your servant to the Queen.
30:00Always at Eleanor's heels, as I hear.
30:03From Nottingham, you hear much.
30:05I suppose gossip travels quickly in such small circles.
30:09Oh, I don't gossip.
30:10I listen.
30:11It's how I decipher the meaningful from the meaningless.
30:17And yet, it seems, you still haven't found your way.
30:21Perhaps you've been listening to the wrong people.
30:23Perhaps you speak with more confidence than knowledge.
30:28A common flaw amongst those that serve.
30:30Do you enjoy your stay, Lady Priscilla?
30:40You'll find where you belong eventually.
30:42The palace has a way of sorting people into their proper place.
30:45The priest say, the rushing wind is the breath of God.
31:04Oh, God.
31:05Saxons say it's the wind.
31:10You're troubled.
31:10We do what must be done.
31:15But still, it will be difficult.
31:18Yes, assaulting a Norman castle is a bold attack.
31:23So bold, in fact, it may even reach the ears of the King in France.
31:27You've been speaking to Little John?
31:29Only because you were keeping something from me.
31:31That wasn't hard to see.
31:33You're leading them all toward danger.
31:39Perhaps death.
31:41Do you know why?
31:42To save our elders.
31:44My uncle amongst them.
31:46Or to keep your bargain with the Queen?
31:47This has nothing to do with that.
31:49Are you so sure?
31:51Of all the lies a man can tell.
31:54None are more dangerous than the ones he tells himself.
32:00You're complicating it, Tuck.
32:01I fight tonight because someone has to.
32:04If not, innocent men will die.
32:08Everybody's ready, Rob.
32:21We move fast, quiet.
32:23We don't stop until our people are free.
32:26Let's go kill some Normans.
32:28And save some sexes, too, God willing.
32:51Go on, go on, go on, go on.
32:52Are you sure you can find it?
33:04I already have.
33:08All right.
33:09You make your way to the stables and lose the horses to the dungeon's melange.
33:14Uh, Rob.
33:17Don't die.
33:17You make your way to the stables and lose the horses.
33:47I'm sorry.
34:03All right.
34:04Rob.
34:05Uncle.
34:08You shouldn't have come.
34:09I thought who would keep you from the new source, ma'am.
34:12Rob.
34:12Bless you, my boy.
34:18Right, all right.
34:19We bought ourselves a minute, not hours, so let's not waste them.
34:23This way.
34:32Oh, God, we can go through this way.
34:41Straight across.
34:42What?
34:42Everyone in.
34:43Get the elders.
34:44Grab, they're coming.
34:45Watch the door.
34:46Get across, straight across.
34:48Straight across, Sam.
35:02Robin Hood, I presume.
35:07Did you really think you could slip in here so easily?
35:10Well, I suppose I did.
35:13At best, you're half the man your father was.
35:17Still just a boy.
35:19John, get everyone out the front.
35:22I'll distract the sheriff.
35:26Kill them.
35:27Now.
35:32Now.
35:43Now.
35:44Now.
35:44Hurry, get out!
36:14They're coming!
36:21No, no, no, no, no!
36:24No! Go!
36:28Go!
36:44Go!
36:51Go!
36:53Go!
36:54Go!
37:14Go!
37:21Go!
37:23Go!
37:26Go!
37:31Go!
37:34Go!
37:39Go!
37:42Go!
37:47Go!
37:49Go!
37:51Go!
37:56Go!
37:59Okay, four seas.
38:01Go!
38:02Go!
38:03Go!
38:04Go!
38:05Go!
38:06Go!
38:07Go!
38:08Go!
38:09Go!
38:10This doesn't count as stealing.
38:40Why did you think you could run?
38:47I'm not running, Sheriff.
38:52I came for you.
39:10It's over, Loxley.
39:37Do what your father could not. Admit your crimes. Pay the penalty.
39:46Not today.
39:53You'll die like your father did, alone, beaten, already forgotten.
40:07Get after him!
40:11We jump!
40:12What?
40:22Ready?
40:24Yes!
40:26Get off!
40:29Uncle, get off!
40:31Uncle, get off!
40:33John!
40:34Where's John?
40:35Go, quickly.
40:36We need to go now!
40:39Get off!
40:40No!
40:41No!
40:42No!
40:43We can't leave Henry!
40:45Let's go!
40:46Move!
40:47Get off!
40:48Get off!
40:49No!
40:50No!
40:51No!
40:52We can't leave Henry!
40:53Go!
40:54No!
40:55No!
40:56No!
40:57No!
40:58No!
40:59No!
41:00No!
41:01No!
41:02No!
41:03No!
41:04No!
41:05No!
41:06No!
41:07No!
41:08No!
41:09No!
41:10No!
41:11No sign of them.
41:21They vanished into the forest with spirits.
41:25Unfortunate.
41:28Would have been cleaner had Hood died here.
41:32And the others?
41:34The outlaws freed them.
41:36All of them?
41:38Every last one.
41:40Good.
41:42I now have eyes and ears in Robin Hood's camp.
41:50Finer theatre than Nottingham, isn't it?
41:53And yet I find all the players much the same.
41:56What do you make of them?
41:59Small.
42:01Then I suppose it's only fair you remind them of their place.
42:05And how would one do that, my lord?
42:07You are Lady Priscilla of Nottingham, daughter of the Sheriff of Nottingham, goddaughter to the king, and you're on the arm of the old marshal of Pembroke.
42:22Let them see you.
42:24Mud and worms.
42:45He didn't die for nothing, Ralph.
42:56He died fighting for something that matters.
42:58We shouldn't have left him behind.
43:05We had to.
43:09This isn't a farewell.
43:12This isn't honoring Henry.
43:15This is pageantry.
43:17Smoke and ceremony.
43:19I know how you feel now, Rob.
43:30I see it now.
43:32I see why you are the way you are.
43:38And I want what you want.
43:44I want blood.
43:45Blood.
43:45Blood.
43:45Blood.
43:45Blood.
43:45Blood.
43:47Blood.
43:49Blood.
44:07His Lordship, Earl Marshal of Pembroke, and Lady Priscilla of Nottingham will now perform the lovers' dance.
44:15Blood.
44:16Blood.
44:16Blood.
44:16Blood.
44:17Blood.
44:17Blood.
44:18Blood.
44:18Blood.
44:18Blood.
44:19Blood.
44:19Blood.
44:19Blood.
45:19Your life doesn't suit you, Marion.
45:24Come.
45:25Dance with me.
45:30Surely there are others here more deserving of your grace's attention.
45:33Yet I stand before you, not them.
45:36If a prince asks me to dance, who am I to refuse?
45:53All your victories abroad will count for nothing if you tarry any longer.
46:07England waits.
46:08But your enemies do not wait idly.
46:14The crown isn't merely worn, Richard.
46:17It must be guarded and defended.
46:21In your absence, lesser men set their eyes upon it.
46:26Even now, there are those whispering your name less than John's more.
46:32You must return.
46:36If you don't, you'll find yourself king of nothing but distant memories and hollow victories.
46:42I remain Eleanor, Queen of England, by the grace of God.
46:52I told you it would sting.
47:12You'll have to live with it for a while until it heals.
47:16Live with worse.
47:17I was wrong.
47:24You've built something here.
47:27A home.
47:28A cause.
47:30A place where Saxons and those cast aside can stand together.
47:35When I told you to leave, I didn't understand that.
47:39Now I do.
47:39Now I do.
47:39There's something else.
47:52The sheriff spoke to me of your father's death.
47:58Tell me a heinous truth.
48:03It was a Saxon who betrayed him.
48:06A Saxon?
48:09Who?
48:17Owen.
48:31You were in the castle the night my father was condemned.
48:33Yes.
48:35Who was there?
48:39Just the sheriff, the bishop, El Huntington, and another man.
48:51Forrester, I think.
48:53He had a hood.
48:55Was he tall?
48:56Red of hair?
48:58Yes.
48:58Yes.
49:03It was.
49:05Yes.
49:08It was.
49:19Take her!
49:49He's gone mad, help me!
50:06Rob, what are you doing?
50:08He's gone mad, help me!
50:12This man conspired against my father with the sheriff of Nottingham.
50:16He betrayed him to the death, and now he will receive his just reward.
50:23Wait, Rob, please!
50:24Deny it!
50:25I didn't mean for it to happen.
50:28I didn't know he'd be hanged.
50:30How was I to know?
50:36The Normans, they poisoned men like you to turn against your own, to protect their thrones,
50:44their power, their gold.
50:49You let them.
50:54You turned on us all.
51:00Robert.
51:30You turned on us.
51:33No!
51:36No!
51:38No!
51:41No!
51:42No!
51:46No!
51:47He did this to himself.
52:11This is what betrayal earns.
52:17This is what betrayal earns.
52:24This is what betrayal earns.
52:30This is what betrayal earns.
52:36This is what betrayal earns.
