04:16THE END
04:39THE END
05:25Five years in battle, Watch, and you still forget the last man.
05:30There's always so much to remember.
05:35When I see the river trend, I'm going to weep.
05:38I'm going to cry like a baby.
05:41For all the pain we've suffered in Palestine, the horrors we have witnessed, and because I am so hungry.
05:49When we get to Loxley, I'm going to have beef.
05:52Yesterday you said pig.
05:53Well, yesterday I was not so hungry.
05:55I mean, I could have pig and beef.
05:58And lamb.
05:59Mmm, I'd like that.
06:01Very much.
06:03In fact, I can feel a song coming on.
06:06No, no song.
06:09Absolutely no song.
06:10It would be a cheery song.
06:12And it would be a tragedy too.
06:13A tragedy for you to have survived the Turk.
06:16And made it to within a few miles of Loxley, only to be killed by your own master.
06:22You know, it is lucky I do not readily take offence.
06:26You know, a smaller man would be offended.
06:29A smaller man would be wounded.
06:31And a cleverer man would sing fewer songs.
06:34So, master, no stopping here, all right?
06:37No stopping anywhere.
06:39No more heroics.
06:40We're going home.
06:41We're going straight home.
06:46Bye, friend.
06:48You two on the run?
06:49No.
06:50We're returning to Loxley after a long absence.
06:53You look like you're on the run.
06:57Want to give me a hand with this ditch?
06:59There's a good meal in it.
07:00Me daughter Sarah and I, we were pork roasting.
07:04Master, we could, couldn't we?
07:05Much.
07:05We are nearly home.
07:06Please.
07:09Please.
07:12I love you.
07:14Have I ever said that?
07:17Go all that digging.
07:18Roast.
07:19Have you ever done a proper day's work?
07:21Roast.
07:22Pork.
07:24Roast.
07:25Pork.
07:26Roast.
07:28Pork.
07:40Where are you two headed?
07:42Home.
07:43To Loxley?
07:44It's getting late.
07:46You and your friend should stay in our barn tonight.
07:50That is very kind, but I don't think that would be...
07:53Someone special waiting for you, sir.
07:55In Loxley.
07:58I doubt it.
08:00Listen, my friend and I should...
08:02Your father.
08:03He'd kill you.
08:04If he saw.
08:06Okay.
08:06Sarah, I...
08:07But he won't see.
08:11Sheriff once cloth dyed for his men.
08:13In lieu of taxes.
08:14Taxes that I cannot afford because nobody has any money to buy my cloth.
08:18What?
08:28Well...
08:28You know, he's a fair-minded old man.
08:32I'm sure if you explain your difficulties to him, if you kiss him...
08:36Kiss him?
08:37Kiss his ring.
08:39He will understand.
08:40You really have been away.
08:42The old man is finished.
08:44We've had a new sheriff this last four years.
08:48Where's that food?
08:49Really?
08:50Dude, that is interesting.
08:53Because he's a fair-minded old man.
08:56I told you.
08:57With a new, younger...
08:59You're not listening.
09:10Robin!
09:12My daughter, I'll kill you.
09:13No offence.
09:14I do not wish to fight.
09:16Well, bad luck.
09:16I do.
09:25You picked the wrong man to mess with.
09:27I did not always work cloth.
09:28I once worked metal.
09:30I was never beaten with a sword.
09:32Not by knight.
09:33Not by knave.
09:34Ah!
09:35Ah!
09:39March!
09:42Oh!
09:47Pasta!
09:57Ha!
09:58Ha!
10:02Ha!
10:03Ha!
10:11Watch. Fetch the packs. Run!
10:29Whoa, sir. Sir. You have me.
10:33Allow me one final request.
10:35What's that?
10:37One last kiss.
10:57Told you! I said no slobber.
10:59Why do you ever, ever listen?
11:01Faster!
11:09Ow.
11:20Not saying anything?
11:22Mm-hmm.
11:23Yes.
11:36I have to plan.
11:37All right.
11:41All right.
12:01Hey, there.
12:14Where is everybody?
12:22Dan Scarlet?
12:25Dan, it's me, Robin.
12:26Robin?
12:27Yes.
12:28Is it really you?
12:29Of course it's us.
12:30We are home unscathed.
12:32Well, scathed.
12:34Very scathed.
12:35But happy.
12:36And hungry.
12:37Mostly hungry.
12:38Blessed Mary, it is you.
12:46An accident.
12:48An incident.
12:50No matter.
12:51What's done is done.
12:53Tell me.
12:55Guy of Gisborne runs your estate for the sheriff.
13:00Does he?
13:01We have one tithe after another for the king in the Holy Land.
13:04Making ends meet.
13:05It's...
13:07It was wrong.
13:08But my boys, they took some game.
13:11I went to stop them, but so did Gisborne's lot.
13:14They got caught.
13:15Me too.
13:17Someone had to lose a hand.
13:19Better me than Will.
13:20The little Lukey.
13:22I'm old.
13:23They've got years ahead of them.
13:25This is madness.
13:26You are a skilled man.
13:28You built half this village.
13:30I won't have this.
13:31You will be compensated.
13:32I see my boys in good health.
13:34And I am happy.
13:38It's all right, boys.
13:40This is Master Robin.
13:42Are you all right?
13:43Come on.
13:47This is my bow.
13:50My dad made it for me.
13:52Why has yours got those curves in it?
13:55Well, this is a Saracen bow.
13:58It is recurved.
14:00The bow's straightened when you draw.
14:03It makes it small, but powerful.
14:08Is it true you can hit a man from a mile away?
14:11If I practice every day, I'll be able to do that.
14:13Well, let's hope you never have to shoot the man, Luke.
14:16Yeah, that's what Dad says.
14:19Bet you killed loads of men when you were fighting with the king.
14:23Look.
14:27Okay, keep your chin up.
14:29And remember to take a breath first.
14:32Wait.
14:33Wait.
14:34He's a credit to you and Jane.
14:40No.
14:41Two years.
14:43Told her she was eating.
14:45Don't think she was.
14:47Couldn't see her boys starve.
14:50The whole village has suffered.
14:52Not just us.
14:53Jane.
14:55Your good, strong wife.
15:15Come on.
15:16Come on, no meat.
15:17Come on, stand up, stand there.
15:22And don't move.
15:23Hand sacks of flour have gone missing from the store.
15:26Get over here.
15:27They will be found.
15:29Come on, get out of here with the rest of them.
15:31They will be accounted for.
15:34Colonel, stop struggling.
15:35Get out here.
15:36Come on.
15:36Get over here.
15:37No more, sir.
15:41Who helped this runt?
15:47Step forward now, or may I show lenience?
15:52No.
15:55The remaining perpetrators will be found.
15:57This crime will be punished.
15:58Bring the boy.
15:58Wait!
16:02Guy of Gisborne.
16:03Sir, Guy of Gisborne to you.
16:06And bow before your master.
16:09Sir, Guy of Gisborne.
16:11My name is Robin, Earl of Huntingdon and Lord of this land.
16:14It's great.
16:15Your services here are no longer required.
16:16It's all right.
16:18It's all right.
16:39Charles?
16:41Thomas?
16:48Thornton.
16:49Welcome back, sir.
16:50Oh!
16:52Ah, a bath for the master, Anna.
16:55And fresh clothes immediately.
16:57Mary!
16:58And me too.
16:59Pardon?
17:00Thornton, much is no longer my manservant.
17:04Oh?
17:05In recognition of services to me in the Holy Land,
17:08he's to be made a free man.
17:09I am granting him the fields and lodge at Bondchurch.
17:12Until then, he's a guest in my house.
17:17And I would like a plate of something while I bathe.
17:22Very well.
17:25That is the way to the servants' quarters.
17:30I knew that.
17:37Welcome back, Luxley.
17:40Now, I have kept your lands for you.
17:43I have managed your estates to the best of my ability
17:46under the guidance of the Sheriff.
17:49And I would appreciate more respect in front of the populace.
17:53How many years have you been here?
17:56Three years, four winters.
17:58And yet you still do not have the respect of the populace.
18:02My men and I will leave directly for Nottingham.
18:04My servants will help you pack.
18:07How was the Holy Land?
18:10Bloodthirsty.
18:12I understand the king is winning, thanks be to God.
18:15He is killing more people.
18:16Is that not winning?
18:18Show me an argument ever settled with bloodshed,
18:20and then I'll call it winning.
18:21Do not pretend that you do not love war.
18:23I've seen you fight.
18:25When?
18:26I do not recall.
18:30I have changed.
18:35Council of Nobles meets tomorrow at Nottingham.
18:37I've no doubt the Sheriff will call a feast to celebrate your safe return.
18:41Goodbye.
18:42Goodbye.
18:44One thing.
18:47I shall celebrate my safe return too,
18:50by pardoning any and all wrongdoers from my estates awaiting trial or punishment.
18:53Only the Sheriff can pardon, you know that.
18:55It is custom for the Sheriff to exceed to his noble's requests on such matters.
18:59Well then, I suggest you take it up with the Sheriff.
19:16Was it horrible?
19:18The war?
19:19What was it like?
19:21War is for...
19:22for men.
19:25You would be upset, little one.
19:27Yeah?
19:28I heard that dying men always ask for their mums.
19:35That's for the bath.
19:37What?
19:38Rose petals.
19:46I knew that.
20:10Mudge, get dressed.
20:12Do you want to visit the old Sheriff?
20:14Really?
20:15Well, I would prefer, I have to say, the whole food, bath, sleep thing.
20:21Of course.
20:22I forgot my promise to you.
20:24You don't have to come.
20:27Is something wrong?
20:29England is wrong.
20:31And Nottinghamshire is worse.
20:33The old Sheriff would never have allowed this.
20:35I have to hear his story before I go to Nottingham tomorrow.
20:41Sleep well, my friend.
20:44You've earned it.
20:55Master!
20:56Good master, the food.
20:59Go into the village, bring every family here and feed them.
21:03Nobody here eats until they do, including me.
21:06Those who are ill, take the food to them.
21:08Yes, master.
21:09Ian?
21:11Obviously you don't mean that about nobody eating.
21:14What?
21:14No?
21:16No, of course not.
21:18That's fine.
21:21That's fine.
21:24Has anyone seen my horse?
21:33Get out!
21:34Get away from here!
21:35Edward!
21:36It is me, your friend, Robin of Loxley.
21:38I know who you are.
21:40Crooks!
21:40Come to deceive me.
21:41I'll have none of you here.
21:42I swear, I come in friendship.
21:44Get away!
21:46I'm no longer the Sheriff.
21:48Leave me to live out my days in peace.
21:49You heard my father.
21:51Leave.
21:52Marion?
21:54It is me, Robin.
21:57Congratulations.
21:58Leave.
21:59How are you?
22:00I thought of you.
22:01Leave.
22:03We're leaving.
22:04Sir Edward, if you do not remember me, remember Nottingham.
22:07Remember your people.
22:10Interesting.
22:10Interesting.
22:12That was unbelievable.
22:15And he used to treat us like, well, like sons.
22:18She is still unmarried.
22:19Oh.
22:20And I thought you'd come to see the old Sheriff.
22:23I did.
22:26Please.
22:34Bless you, Master Robin.
22:36We have all eaten well.
22:37Is there any food left?
22:38I must confess, I am anxious.
22:40Robin.
22:41Robin.
22:42Jeffrey.
22:43Remember this.
22:44Remember this.
22:45My egg.
22:46My egg.
22:47Where's it gone?
22:48Oh.
22:50You've eaten it.
22:51No, I haven't.
22:54Hey, Riddies.
22:55You used to love that when you were a lad.
22:58Have you had lots to eat?
23:00You're a good boy.
23:01Thanks for feeding us.
23:03Come on, then.
23:04Bring those eggs.
23:05Come on.
23:09That man is a show-off.
23:10If there are no eggs left, I'm going after him.
23:13Dan?
23:15What's wrong?
23:16Young Benedict got frightened.
23:18It's old Gisborne's like who took the flower with it.
23:21Your boys.
23:23They've taken them to Nottingham.
23:25Robin.
23:26I will resolve this.
23:28I will talk to the sheriff.
23:30I promise.
23:31I promise.
24:24Where is everybody?
24:27It's funny.
24:28Wednesday used to be market day.
24:30I think Wednesday may still be market day.
24:36Surely some mistake.
24:47My lord, I do not think that this is a laughing matter.
24:50Sorry, remind me.
24:51How many men do you have?
24:55Twenty-four.
24:57And he has.
24:58One.
24:59But the point is...
25:00But you let him take the house.
25:01Technically, it is still his property.
25:03La, la, la, la, li, la.
25:07Now, I would have appreciated more support in this matter.
25:10Relax, relax.
25:12I'll get it back for you within a month.
25:18Twenty-four.
25:19One.
25:21Mm-mm.
25:22Mm-mm.
25:37It has been a good month.
25:39We've collected nearly three hundred pounds.
25:42Shh.
25:44Would you want to be the king in Antioch?
25:48Clue?
25:49No.
25:50Trying to feed a starving army on three hundred pounds.
25:53You promise...
25:55Five hundred pounds.
25:56It's more than we have managed before.
25:59Oh, yippee.
26:00So the king is starving in the Holy Land and you have failed him.
26:04But it's more than we have managed before.
26:08Robin of Loxley.
26:10Good morning, everyone.
26:14Sheriff.
26:17Well, carry on.
26:21Loxley, welcome back.
26:22I trust the guy of Gisborne's managed your estates to your satisfaction.
26:25I believe he may have managed them to your satisfaction.
26:29Some of your peasants are unruly, by the way.
26:32We have two in custody awaiting punishment.
26:34Three.
26:35Three?
26:36Our discipline will be a problem.
26:38Be warned.
26:39Loughborough.
26:39Sheriff, thank you.
26:41I can report...
26:41Discipline has never been a problem on my estates.
26:44Times have changed.
26:45Not for the better, it seems.
26:48You, of all people should know,
26:51that the king needs funds to fight our holy war.
26:54Is it our holy war?
26:55Or is it Pope Gregory's?
26:57We stand shoulder to shoulder with Rome.
26:59And we fall shoulder to shoulder, too.
27:02I have seen it.
27:03Then what is your proposal to raise money for the king?
27:05Stop all taxes.
27:07Today.
27:09I'm easy.
27:11I do not joke.
27:13Today is market day, and yet there is no market.
27:16And your point is?
27:19If a man can make more than he needs for his family,
27:22he can take what remains to market.
27:24He can trade.
27:26And the shire can take its share.
27:28But until then, we must help every man,
27:31every peasant, every pieman, every pinner,
27:34provide for his family.
27:35Get him trading again!
27:42A man who can provide for his family is a comfortable man.
27:50A lazy man who doesn't want to work.
27:52What we need are hungry men.
27:54Our noble friend seems to forget
27:58that hungry men are virtuous.
28:01There is a celebration of my return tonight in the Great Hall.
28:04Indeed.
28:05Well, I trust none of us virtuous men will be feasting.
28:43my father seems to think he should see you our house is watched come after midnight tonight
