Robin Hood Page #2

---

- Concentrate.

And what punishment does the law demand?

The punishment

is a public beating.

To be flogged.

I suggest at

the castle gate at noon.

My lord, I am not to be treated

like a common thief.

You may be a Saxon earl, Hode,

but the Saxons no longer rule England.

I demand the right of trial by combat.

I challenge

Sir Miles Folcanet.

- I'll kill him.

- Silence!

Sir Miles,

Robert Hode shall be flogged...

...but one lash only.

That's my judgment.

You treacherous,

lying, cheating...

- That's enough, Hode! Silence!

- That's not nearly enough!

- This man should be hanged!

- Five lashes, and I shall have the honor.

- What would you know about honor?

- Twenty lashes from the Sergeant-at-Arms!

- Why not 50? A hundred?

- No, 20! You're too wild, Sir Robert.

Wild?

Much worse than that.

I'm a fool.

I thought you were noble.

Behold the glorious Normans.

The noble

baron of the Realm...

whose great-grandfather

was no more than a pirate.

From cutthroat tojudge

in the blink of an eye.

Once they raped

and pillaged.

Now they collect taxes.

Norman taxes

on Saxon land.

Norman taxes

on Saxon grain.

Norman taxes

on Saxon liberty.

Let us bow to

the miracle of change.

From pirate to leech

in the blink of a bloody Norman eye!

Release him!

Robert Hode,

fourth earl of Huntingdon...

with the powers of the king

which are vested in me...

...it's decreed that

you forfeit to the throne...

...your lands and title

and all things in your possession.

As of this day,

you are cast outside the law.

And as an outlaw,

you're beyond the reach of its protection.

Any and all who would give you

shelter or comfort...

will be deemed treasonous.

Because you are

of noble birth...

...these consequences will be reviewed

by the king's justiciar.

Until that time,

you shall be shackled...

...in the keep

of the Daguerre Castle.

Have you

anything more to say?

Very well, then.

Very well, then.

Hold it there!

Keep 'em back!

Hold it there!

Keep 'em back!

Stop it. Stop!

Tell them to move away... Now.

Do as he says. Move back!

Seize them!

- Seize them!

- You should have killed him.

- You should have kept your mouth shut.

- Yesterday I was a hero.

- Make your mind up.

- Out of the way!

Keep going!

Up there!

On the battlements!

I want them alive!

I want them alive.

- Don't shoot!

- Now, kick.

Kick! Kick!

Scaffold! Scaffold!

Raise the bridge!

Raise the bridge!

Raise it!

- They're crossing, you fools!

- Raise the bridge!

Raise the bridge!

Raise the bridge!

Raise the bridge!

Hold on!

After them!

After them!

Lower the bridge!

Lower the bridge!

Lower the bridge!

Lower the bridge!

Let me guess.
