00:00 [The sound of a waterfall.]
00:20 England in 1190 was an unhappy land. Its people divided into two distinct classes. The Saxons,
00:29 the slave race, and the Normans, the masters who ruled without justice. More than a century
00:36 before, the Saxons had been a free and happy people. But in 1066, they were defeated at
00:43 Hastings by Duke William of Normandy, William the Conqueror. And to preserve their rule,
00:50 the Normans built their castles and introduced brutal, repressive laws. The harshest were
00:57 the forest laws. A man could be tortured and hanged for hunting food to feed his starving
01:04 family. Or made a wolf's head, an outlaw whose head was worth no more than a wolf's. This
01:13 is the story of one man, Robert of Loxley, a Saxon farmer who was to become known as
01:21 Robin Hood, the outlaw, a wolf's head.

02:52 [Music]
03:01 Have you seen him? Seen who? A runaway serf that followed him here. No. Have you much?
03:09 No. He came this way, a raiding slave. You must have seen him. Don't waste time, search the hay.
03:16 [Music]
03:21 [Music]
03:31 [Music]
03:38 [Music]
03:54 Kill him! Kill him!
03:56 [Music]
03:59 You will hang for this. I'm a free man and you're on my land. You attacked a knight and
04:06 a royal game warden. Only to protect myself. That's the law. You have no power here. Take
04:15 your men and get off my land.
04:18 [Music]
04:41 What is your name? Robert of Loxley. Then look to yourself. We'll meet again.
04:49 [Music]
05:00 Hey, that was close. How's your head? Oh, it's still singing, but on my shoulders.
05:05 Thank you, master. Who are you? Gareth of Swineherd, from Roger of Donkester's Land. The hangman?
05:12 Ah, Roger the hangman. That was his brother, Geoffrey. He's hunted me for three days. What
05:16 have you done? Only run from the whip, master, like others. Well, you're safe here. My men
05:21 don't wear these. I'll not start a feud. After I've rested, we'll move on. We? My family.
05:29 I hid them here while I looked for food.
05:32 [Music]
05:57 This is Tom, and that's Abby. Oh, the poor things. Look, mother. I'll get them washed.
06:06 We'll feed them first, Alice. Put some food in their bellies. Don't be afraid, Abby. What
06:16 would you say to a nice piece of pie? You'd like that, wouldn't you?
06:20 [Music]
06:49 That's my brother.
06:51 [Music]
06:59 It's a pigsty. What do you breed in this hall?
07:10 Wine. I'm old.
07:14 So, I thought we were going to have some sport tonight, but no, he was taken from you. And
07:20 by one man, they say. A Saxon. One man against my brother, the brave Geoffrey. And the chief
07:32 game warden. What were your foresters doing? Their leader's a Saxon himself, my lord.
07:40 Stokely. We were on free land. He knew the law. Stokely. I've never trusted him. Have
07:48 him watched. Where was this? Locksley. Who was the man? Robert the Yeoman. Isn't he the
07:58 one who your lady Marion fancies? Get out. Get out. Was the same man? Yes. Then why didn't
08:18 you kill him? He took us by surprise. If I had some of my own men... My men? You have
08:32 nothing that isn't mine. You ought to be withdrawing themselves. I'm a serf. I saw my boy, but I'm
08:49 not an animal. Here, drink this. Oh, this is good iron. I can use this. So, you're bound
08:59 for the forest. What do you think you'd live on? Roots, bearers, hunts, more game. Break
09:05 the game laws. The foresters will catch you inside a week. Aye, then it's out with your
09:09 eyes or an onion if they take you. And you're made a wolf's head if they don't. Wolf's head?
09:14 Aye, an outlaw. Your head's worth no more than a wolf's, dead or alive. You'd best stay
09:19 with us till he's stronger. Would you like that, boy? Stay here with us for a while? Well,
09:28 would you? Tom can't speak, master. Oh, he used to, but not since they took his mother
09:35 to Jeffreys Hall. Should have got rid of this Robert long ago. Because of him, Marion puts
09:42 me off. No one picked Walter would never let them marry. No, but he's a fool. She'd twist
09:47 him round her finger. We could hang this Loxley. Oh, yes, and have the whole Saxon rattle
09:54 on our throats. Whatever's done must be done inside the law. What led you to him? The serf.
10:06 He thought he'd given us the slip. But he was hunting deer. Hunting deer? Who's Loxley
10:15 with him? I don't know. Don't think so. I wonder if the game warden might remember. Legos!
10:29 Are you going to the Fitzwaters? Yes. Is it wise? I don't know if it's wise or not. I haven't
10:53 seen Marion for over a month. Maybe that's for the best. You were friends as children,
10:59 but marriage between you is impossible. She's a Norman. This is King Richard's time, not
11:04 the conquest. I don't hate Normans. They'll never permit it. I'll let her decide that.
11:19 Up there. There. Look, Evan.
11:24 [Music]
11:37 [Laughter]
11:39 [Music]
11:56 Where are you going? Part of the way with you. To the friar's cell.
12:03 They say he takes more than a barrel, one swallow. That's a wicked thing to say. How
12:13 long will you be gone? There's not more than a day and I won't be stopping on the way.
12:18 Robert, take care. If her father and his friends ever found out, you'd make terrible enemies.
12:24 I have no enemies.
12:41 David Dormer, mistress.
12:52 Robert of Loxley. I know him. The man on the edge of Bownsdale Forest. Between yours and
12:59 the estates of Fitzwalter. Yes. When I marry the Lady Mar... The Lady Marion. According
13:06 to my reports, that happy day is still far off. I have her father's promise. My Lord,
13:24 I am your man. When I have the estates of Fitzwalter, together we shall hold all the
13:30 power between Doncaster and York. Together? I can go where you cannot. Move where you
13:36 cannot be seen to. But I already have a steward. I meant more than that. And I'll not be spied
13:47 on. Then leave. This meeting is over. Not until I have finished. With King Richard away
13:55 on his crusade. And if he stays away much longer, then Prince John will need powerful
14:06 friends in the North. I may have underestimated you, Sir Roger. The balance of power will
14:17 indeed be delicate. But these are dangerous matters. What have they to do with Robert
14:23 Locksley? With him out of the way, our lands will be joined. You are a member of the King's
14:30 great council. I administer justice. But if this Robert upholds the laws and pays his
14:39 taxes, we cannot touch him. But if he had broken the laws, more particularly the forest
14:46 laws. Oh, that would be a very different matter. I have a number of blank warrants signed by
14:52 the Regent Prince John for just such an occasion. Legolas! Legolas! My Lord Abbott, this is the
15:08 chief game warden of Barnsdale Forest. Robert of Locksley.
15:30 [music]
15:50 [birds chirping]
16:16 Oui, Madame. Tiff le bleu.
16:20 [music]
16:48 [whistling]
16:51 Marion.
16:53 [music]
17:18 Come on, Toph. Don't go too far. Take care. Bye. Bye.
17:25 [music]
17:44 [screaming]
17:46 [birds chirping]
17:49 It's been so long.
17:51 Every night I've said, "Let Robin come tomorrow."
17:55 [laughing]
17:57 Why do you smile?
17:58 Because you're the only one who still calls me Robin.
18:01 Not even your mother?
18:03 It's my father's name for me. She hasn't used it since I was a child.
18:06 [laughing]
18:11 I thought I had. Come on.
18:15 [laughing]
18:31 Must we always have to go on meeting like this and hiding?
18:34 Oh, perhaps not always.
18:36 Until the world changes.
18:38 Could you tell your father about us?
18:44 This is England. We were born here.
18:47 Not Saxons or Normans. We're English.
18:50 Why can't we be together like free human beings?
18:53 You know why.
18:55 My father's not a cruel man. He liked yours. They were friends.
19:00 And yet you have to marry a Norman.
19:03 Robin, I'm his only child.
19:06 You have to preserve his estates.
19:09 Marry your own kind.
19:18 But suppose he orders you to?
19:21 He already has.
19:25 I'm to choose within a year.
19:28 Who?
19:30 I could never be happy with anyone but you.
19:33 What if he makes you?
19:35 I'd say no.
19:38 Then he'd send me away to a convent. Or to France.
19:42 And either way I'd lose you.
19:54 We must go now.
19:57 Next time we'll have longer.
20:01 Quickly or my nurse will miss me.
20:04 Come with me.
20:07 One day. I promise.
20:12 I love you.
20:15 Nothing can change that.
20:40 (neighing)
20:46 (thunder)
21:00 (thunder)
21:27 Loose the string or you're a dead man.
21:34 (laughing)
21:43 You're not much of a hunter, boy.
21:45 Fry a tuck.
21:46 You can thank your mother you're still alive.
21:49 I thought you were a wolf.
21:50 A what?
21:52 I thought you were a wolf.
21:53 Like all your sort you'd have killed first and then looked.
21:57 It's the way of the forest.
21:58 And the world.
22:00 You wonder why I choose to live on my own.
22:03 You pardon, father.
22:05 You're not so often so far from your cave.
22:07 I was gathering herbs.
22:10 Medicine.
22:13 I'm sorry, father.
22:15 Good day.
22:16 It'll be a good day.
22:31 Beauty shouldn't be out here alone.
22:34 It's almost supper time.
22:38 What is it?
22:56 (neighing)
23:02 (neighing)
23:12 Oh.
23:18 Oh.
23:27 Mother.
23:37 Mother.
23:40 Mother.
23:46 (neighing)
24:15 (neighing)
24:40 (neighing)
24:54 That made me a wolf's head.
24:56 What?
24:58 My land's been taken by the Abbot of St. Mary's.
25:02 The Lord of a killing a stag.
25:09 Tom!
25:13 Tom!
25:17 Tom.
25:19 Did you see the man that killed your father?
25:22 Did you see the shields?
25:25 Come here.
25:34 Roger of Doncaster.
25:42 And his brother, Jeffrey.
25:48 I'll find them.
25:50 First there's work to do.
26:09 Into thy hands, O Lord, we commend thy spirits.
26:12 Amen.
26:14 Is that all?
26:15 There's no time for any more.
26:17 We have children and wounded.
26:18 You must find somewhere safe.
26:20 Where?
26:21 There's a path over the mountains.
26:23 I know the track.
26:24 Are you strong enough?
26:26 Aye.
26:30 I'll bring you some food in the morning.
26:33 If it was the hangman, he'll be back before dark.
26:36 With more men.
26:38 You'll take my mother and the children to the nunnery?
26:40 Yes.
26:41 Even though the Abbot will know that you've helped us?
26:44 Let him come and tell me he's displeased.
26:56 I'm sorry.
27:10 I'm sorry.
27:30 I'm sorry.
27:50 I'm sorry.
28:10 I'm sorry.
28:30 I'm sorry.
28:42 There it is again.
28:56 Tom!
29:00 Tom!
29:10 Tom!
29:20 Tom!
29:30 Tom!
29:40 Tom!
29:50 Tom!
30:00 He always said he'd live too long.
30:12 I brought what I could.
30:19 There's guards in the village.
30:21 And the hangman?
30:22 No.
30:23 But his brother's been.
30:25 He's met one of his own men, Bailey.
30:28 What do we do now?
30:30 Learn how to live in the forest.
30:33 How to stay alive.
30:35 What about him?
30:46 They're looking for him.
30:49 He can stay with us until we find him somewhere safer.
30:54 I brought this.
30:56 What is it?
30:57 It's my father's.
30:58 It's a Welsh bow.
31:00 He said there's a law against carrying them.
31:02 He always kept it hid.
31:04 He said it would stop a bear.
31:07 But I could never string it, let alone draw it.
31:18 No wonder there's a law.
31:43 It's a piece of iron.
31:53 They think they're safe in their castles and armour.
31:57 Since they've made me a wolf's head, I shall be one.
32:00 None of them, Normans, priests, even their servants, shall use a forest rose without fearing us.
32:07 What?
32:08 You'll be our eyes and ears.
32:10 Tell Lady Meryn that I'm safe.
32:12 And if she has a message for me, leave it with Frye Tuck.
32:15 On what?
32:17 To be safer.
32:18 She used to say the message is for Robin.
32:20 Robin?
32:24 Robin?
32:28 You'd better get back before you're missed.
32:30 No.
32:32 I'll stay with you if you let me.
32:35 It could be forever.
32:37 They'll hunt us down like wild beasts.
32:40 And we'll live in the sun till we're caged.
32:44 We'd better get our things together.
32:46 If you follow to see how others can.
32:48 We must get deeper into the forest.
33:00 My lord, a messenger from Sir Roger.
33:02 Yes.
33:03 The matter he spoke of is concluded.
33:07 Does that mean the land is ours?
33:10 Yes, my lord.
33:11 Then why didn't you say so?
33:14 Without too much unpleasantness, I hope.
33:17 It would appear not.
33:19 The people are quiet.
33:20 Sir Roger has appointed a bailiff in your name.
33:22 Good.
33:23 Good.
33:25 Good.
33:50 I've always heard that the Doncasters were simple bullies.
33:54 They may turn out to be quite useful after all.
33:58 What of the outlaw Robert?
33:59 Was he taken?
34:00 No, my lord.
34:01 We may presume he's dead.
34:03 May we?
34:04 All these people need is a leader.
34:07 If he's not dead, it could be dangerous.
34:10 We must know for sure.
34:13 Go to Loxley and see the priest.
34:16 And send for Sir Roger.
34:18 We don't want reports from messengers, but from him in person.
34:28 Did you find him?
34:29 We found where he'd been, and then we lost him.
34:33 You lost him?
34:37 Your men are supposed to be the best hunters in England.
34:41 How could they possibly lose him?
34:43 He's learning to cover his tracks.
34:45 He's made for the deep woods.
34:46 Then get after him!
34:48 I don't want you back here without his hide.
34:49 My lord.
34:56 And you, my dear brother, can go with him.
35:00 What?
35:01 I want you there when they flush him out.
35:04 We need his head for the applet.
35:06 The fat fool has the land already.
35:08 That's all he wants.
35:09 The fat fool could squash us like flies.
35:12 We promised him Loxley.
35:14 Unless we keep the bargain, he has the land and we have nothing.
35:17 We don't need his favor!
35:19 Oh, but we do.
35:22 To get the favor of Prince John.
35:25 After that, things may be different.
35:31 Take all the men you can.
35:33 Cover the crossroads and every way out of the forest.
35:36 You think he might come back to the village?
35:38 He might.
35:39 But wherever he is, he can't be far.
35:46 The boy will hold him up.
35:54 (Whistles)
36:23 There it is.
36:48 Wayland's ditch.
36:52 There's caves and shelter on the other side.
36:56 Well, everyone knows there's strange things on the other side.
37:02 Even the foresters don't go there.
37:04 That's why we will.
37:07 You two stay here.
37:09 I'll go and find somewhere where we can cross.
37:29 You don't cross here.
37:43 I cross where I choose.
37:45 This is my land.
37:47 Nobody crosses without my leave.
37:49 What makes it yours?
37:51 This?
38:17 (Grunts)
38:38 (Screams)
39:05 (Laughs)
39:08 That was good.
39:10 You're the first man to hit me.
39:12 The first child has beaten me.
39:14 What do they call you?
39:16 John Little of Cumberland.
39:18 Why do you live here?
39:20 Well, they tried to put me in the stocks,
39:23 so I broke them over the baiters' head.
39:25 That's why I took to the healthy, open air life.
39:29 I wasn't too ahead of the sheriff's men.
39:31 The forest can be a dangerous place.
39:33 I've heard a friend behind me, that.
39:35 Robin!
39:36 Robin!
39:43 This fellow knocked me to the water.
39:46 Oh, fighting cocks, eh?
39:49 Much.
39:51 Tom.
39:52 John Little.
39:56 Match and Little.
39:59 I think you might join us.
40:01 Well, you're game enough, why not?
40:04 John Little?
40:06 Hey, he's so tiny, we should call him Little John.
40:13 (Laughs)
40:29 The priest at Loxley tells me there are two graves,
40:33 and neither of them for this wolf's head.
40:36 Is he dead?
40:43 Well, is he?
40:47 It's only a matter of time, my lord.
40:49 It was to be done at once, quickly and quietly.
40:52 You have his land?
40:54 A few acres and a burnt-out farm.
40:56 Not worth the risk of a local rising.
40:58 These people are cattle, my lord.
41:00 They know their masters.
41:02 Let us hope so, Sir Roger.
41:06 And what of this other business?
41:08 Your marriage to the Lady Marian?
41:11 She'll not refuse, my lord.
41:16 When she knows he's dead?
41:18 They call you the hangman, don't they?
41:21 But first you must catch your man before you hang him.
41:24 He's one man!
41:25 Without friends, without weapons.
41:28 The foresters will track him down.
41:30 Well, you'd better send for more men in case he escapes again.
41:39 He'll not escape, my lord.
41:42 No?
41:44 For your sake, Sir Roger, make sure he doesn't.
41:50 Robin!
41:51 Robin!
41:52 It's a squire and two riders. An escort for a lady.
41:57 A lady?
42:01 This one's mine.
42:03 Out of my way.
42:25 Just a word, master.
42:36 John!
42:45 Be thankful I didn't break your neck.
42:54 Right on.
43:01 Salve, Rick!
43:07 Wench, who was she?
43:09 I don't know. I bet she had some spirit.
43:11 The devil in women.
43:13 Give either a little courtesy and they'll get you a crack on the head.
43:16 What have we got?
43:18 A letter.
43:19 What's that?
43:22 I'm ringing some money.
43:28 That was the hangman's squire.
43:38 And then?
43:39 They would have killed me.
43:41 Well?
43:43 You were to protect my sister.
43:45 You didn't think that worth risking your life?
43:47 I tried!
43:48 There are about a dozen of them.
43:51 To be exact, three.
43:58 Three men and a boy.
44:00 A boy?
44:02 What were they like?
44:04 One was nothing.
44:05 The other who beat that lily was bearded.
44:07 Huge, like an ox.
44:10 And the third?
44:15 He was interesting.
44:19 Strong, too.
44:21 And handsome for a country fellow.
44:23 Loxley!
44:24 The man you're hunting?
44:25 If it was, my dear Adele, be sure he won't live to insult you again.
44:31 Pity.
44:35 When you catch him, let me have him first.
44:51 Get the names of every man and woman who might know where he's hiding.
44:57 We can begin with a Saxon forester, Stookley.
45:01 It's true.
45:02 We have all the evidence we need. The chief game warden swears to it.
45:05 But you're stealing a deer?
45:07 You know the forest laws, my lady.
45:09 Where is he?
45:10 Hiding. In the forest.
45:12 Oh, then he's safe. They'll never find him there.
45:15 He's a farmer, my lady.
45:16 I've covered his tracks as much as I could, but sooner or later they're bound to catch him.
45:20 I must leave while I can.
45:22 Why are you telling me all this?
45:23 Can you get a message to him?
45:26 Yes, I think so.
45:27 Tell him he has no chance if he stays near the village.
45:29 They're sending to Selby and York for more men.
45:32 Why?
45:33 For some reason it's not enough he's been outlawed.
45:35 They must have him dead.
45:36 Who?
45:39 I must go, my lady.
45:40 It's more than my life to be found here.
45:41 Send him away.
45:42 But who wants him dead?
45:45 For that you must ask Roger of Doncaster.
46:10 Move. Come on, move.
46:26 What did you say?
46:28 You could make any of these people talk?
46:30 They're not people.
46:31 They're animals.
46:33 I can't help thinking that if this Robert can command such loyalty without asking for it...
46:40 How many will follow him when he does?
47:02 Stop him!
47:04 They've captured what?
47:05 They've taken him to the whipping post.
47:18 Robert of Loxley.
47:19 Where is he?
47:22 You're his man.
47:23 Where is he?
47:32 You'll tell us before we're done.
47:36 Where is he?
47:38 Where is he?
47:59 Legos!
48:28 I was on my way back to you.
48:45 The friar had a message from Lady Marion.
48:47 Will Stookley came to see her.
48:48 The forester?
48:49 Yes.
48:50 He told her to warn you the Abbot's men are combing the forest.
48:52 But Stookley was spied on and caught.
48:54 What have they done with him?
48:56 To be made an example.
48:58 Geoffrey, the hangman's brother, is to take him to Doncaster for execution.
49:01 Where is he now?
49:02 At the hangman's castle.
49:05 You two go back and get the forester's hoods.
49:34 There'll be about 20 of them and only four of us.
49:37 One chance of surprise.
49:38 And we wear these hoods?
49:39 Yes.
49:40 I learned it from the foresters.
49:41 They'll help to conceal us.
49:43 I'm going to get the forester's hoods.
