Is that so, the Rainault? Why? Surprised you that the king interested in Nottingham? Or that he questions the nigh infinite incompetence of his sheriff? Is it weird that a couple killers two years free in the woods around he 's envoy to send Nottingham to investigate? Would you talk about Robin Hood have? - Yes.
Today I came very close.

Let's drink some wine.
You are mine.
How many times have I said that already? We are not in the castle.
We have to.
- It is suicide.
We have every way already tried.
Why difficult? We just wait until the execution.
He will not publicly execute if he is smart.
Then we can do nothing.
We will not die.

It is a challenge Sarak, huh? Who is he, Nasir? What should it you? I need to know.
I have no hunger.
- No appetite? I do not like it company.
I do not but that keeps me not.
Well done, John.
You must fight against him.
I know.
But? I am afraid of him.
- No, that's not true.
As long as you are with us, you were never afraid.
From anyone.
He was your friend.
You wanted him dead.
Therefore he still lives.
Not because he feared.
You should do it, Nasir.
Not for yourself, but for us all.
He was my brother.
He has taught me.
You belong to us.
We will assist you.
You must fight against him and you have him win.
I will do.
You take a risk.
- He is not trustworthy.
I wish there was an alternative.
He is our only choice.
Why do you hate us so? No, I want to know.
He is constantly behind us.
He wanted me ever go.
But why? Why are we so special? - I will tell you if you want.
Tell me.
I hate you for who you are.
And what you represent.
That is wrong.
You guys are outlawed explained.
Thieves, murderers.
But you represent freedom, justice and the people.
I hate you because you yourself so highly.
Take a look anyway.
You live in this filth.
Without possession, doomed.
But you refuse to see.
What I hate most to you is you going to the legend.
What are you doing? A lot unregulated.
The son of an earl.
The daughter of a nobleman.
A giant.
A bully.
Farmers and imbeciles.
Yet the people to look at you.
They even respect you.
Why? - I make him.
If he fails to keep his foot, I make him.
But you have given us the real reason Your hatred has not told.
You are afraid of us.
It is not far more.
Here it is.
- Who knows more of that tunnel? Nobody.
- And the builders? They are a part of it.
They are buried in the walls.
You go first, sheriff.
Put more men in the port and on the walls.
You and you two come along.
You are much too cautious, my best Gisburne.
Lord, I know those men.
They will try anything.
Do you? They may try.
We are ready, right? This is your safe place.
- Silence.
We are right 't castle.
Where does it go? - Towards a corridor to shield wait.
I thought I heard something.
- What? It was a rat.
- Yes, the castle is full of it.
If it is even closer, I'm down.
- And of course I'm behind you.
Then you have to push.
If we are inside, keep your gedeisd.
What is it? - They are.
Edward and Robin to liberate us.
How do you know? I know it.
I can feel it.
The man with the cap is there.
He is coming.
Help me.
I knew it.
Is everything okay? Fast, Alison.
Come on, girl.
Successful.
- I knew you would come.
Is it? - Yes.
Jennifer, be careful.
Give me your hand.
Later.
- I do not think so.
You must be Robin Hood.
You did good, Gisburne.
I am very satisfied.
You have to get your tunnel but again shown.
About you - I've led them here.
I was aware of me.
- And Gisburne I caught Robin.
Together? - Without me You left them here.
You were banned.
And you have led them here.
You surprised me.
You ignorance even worse with high treason.
High Treason? - Connect him.
I am with him later.
- No, they have forced me.
I have helped you.
- The women should go.
I do not need them.
About you, free bird I'm really disappointed.
I thought you would offer resistance.
But you still get that chance.
I ga me wash and dress.
And then you meet Sarak.
Who is he, Nasir? What should it you? He was my brother.
- You belong to us.
You must fight against him and you should win.
This you may not.
I led them here.
Let me go.
They never let you go.
Never.
Or sometimes, Arthur? Who are you? - With your feet first.
That is the only way.
The only way for the sheriff.
I am the sheriff of Nottingham.
You? Wait there just for me.
I'm already 27 years.
I was 27 years.
I ask you something.
- What then? When they straw agree refresh? So this is his magic sword? - It has some strengths.
In contrast to its owner.
You'll enjoy.
It is truly spectacular.
You've outdone yourself.
Hopefully, the king also.
- I will inform him personally.
Robin Hood was sentenced to death.
But I give him a chance.
See that crossbow? If my husband so you can kill are you free.
You understand that? Cut him loose.
If you're ready.
Robin, on the stairs.
Stop.
How did you know? What? - That the Nasir was not Sarak.
I did not.
I live in hope.
That is a very dangerous lifestyle.
Is there a different way then? A new sheriff is and a new sheriff is.
Sometimes things do change.
But we are there.
It is incredible.
I opened Robin Hood and his men alone in the castle.
Gisburne and I deal with them and then ask you, Mark and Philip the Saracen them again escape.
You have even led to the outside.
- Not true.
Gisburne had the chance Let Gisburne is not involved.
Gisburne has enough on his head.
But the king will kill me.
- That do not know.
You must be smart enough to him to realize that he was wrong? Do you understand me, the Giscard? Yes.
Yes, what? Yes, sheriff.
