(baby cries)

Yes, stop the baby crying.



I've got things on my mind.



Oh, it's terrible.

This town is becoming a slum.

And there doesn't seem to be any soldiers in town.

Hey, don't you think that's kind of strange, Chief?

Something's going on, Much.

And Alwine's behind it.

Huh?

(horses gallop)

Yikes!



Cleo was with those knights.

Much, come on.

Right, Chief!

Halt!

Stand aside, man.

We have urgent business with His Lordship.

We are the Knights of the Black Rose.

There's no entry to the castle.

We have to speak with Baron Alwine.

No, you don't.

Ahh!

Come on.

We must hurry!

Hey, stop!

Come back!

Hey!



Much, can you see anything at all?

I can't see!

Ahhh!

Baron Alwine!

What is it?

The Knights of the Black Rose, my lord,

have forced their way into the castle.

Is Cleo with them?

There is a female, yes, Sire.

They demand to see you.

Demand? Demand?

They should be begging on their knees.

They are nothing.

That's enough, Bishop.

But, Baron, they're dangerous.

Yes, I know they are.

I'm not stupid.

Welcome to you all.

It is always a delight to entertain

the Knights of the Black Rose, and especially rewarding

to see Cleo here.

Thank you.

My lord, with your permission,

I have a question to ask you.

Oh, a question?

Well, I'd be happy to answer it.

His Lordship is very gracious.

I would be very grateful if Your Grace would tell me

of the fate of my brother, Gilbert.

I see. Tell me, my dear.

Why do you need this information?

Have you seen Gilbert's ghost, by any chance?

Gilbert's ghost, my lord?

Oh, no.

But I've seen through your deception.

Gilbert is alive.

What?

You lied to me, Baron.

You deceived me cruelly.

How--

I don't know why you deceived me yet.

But I'll find out.

You're an evil liar!

Oh, yes.

I know I am.

(laughs)



Well, well.

I'm an evil liar, eh?

Well, that's quite an accusation.

I hope you can prove it.

But only time will tell, my dear Cleo.

Now, I have no more time to waste on your childish chivalry.

I'm a busy baron.

You see, I'm about to become rich

beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

Soon the Treasure of the Forest will be mine.

You're evil. Evil.

Yes, obviously evil.

But don't forget, handsome and rich,

compared to you, you scum.

Watch, you swine.

I'll teach you some manners.

You'll pay for that, Alwine.

No!

Alwine, you'll pay for this.



Pay for it?

Well, at least I can afford it,

which is more than I can say for you, my dear Cleo.

(laughs)



Hey, get this.

Shhh, be quiet, Little John.

But wait 'til you hear what we've seen.

Alwine's coming to burn the forest.

What do you mean?

Alwine's coming to kill us all in a war machine.

War machine?





Faster, you dogs.

Ha! Ha!

Put your backs into it.



Oh!



They're coming!



Well, I think all this is going to be completely useless

against that war machine.

Oh, really, Little John?

Well, it couldn't be as useless as you.

Huh?

What did you say?

Get your hands off me, Little John.

I mean it.

We will defend this forest with our lives,

not skulk around complaining.

Now, I know our defenses aren't very strong.

And I know Alwine has a powerful war machine.

But we must try.

Ugh!

Well, what are you looking at?

We've got a wall to build.

Now, get those rocks up here

before I come down there.

Never mind Baron Alwine.

You'll have me on your back in a minute.

Here they come!

They're coming!

They're coming!

The war machine!



This new telescope is amazing, Bishop.

I can see the enemy, and they're pathetic.

Just imagine life without Robin Hood

with tons and tons of treasure.

Their puny defenses will be flattened

under my war machine.

Forward!



Everybody ready?

Come on, Alwine!

I'm ready for them.

We'll show you, Big Mouth!

I'll tear you apart!

Think you're big, huh?

Go away!

Come get us!

Have that!

Yeah!

And that!

Yeah.

And that, too!



I hope this machine works, Much.

Of course it does.

I built it.

Ugh.



Maybe we should scram.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Retreat!

Run for it.

Much, that cannon was useless.

I'm going to whack you just as soon as I...

There is no one in England as horrible as me.

I'm bad, and I'm to be king.

Ah-ha-ha!

It's huge!

Robin!

Robin!

Robin!

Robin, come back!



Alwine, I'll get you.

Alwine!

Huh?

Alwine!

Ah, he never gives up.



Time to end your evil, Alwine.



Go ahead and shoot if you dare.

Let go.

Get down.

Ah!

No! Cleo!

Oh! Robin!

You shoot, and she dies, Huntington.

Go ahead and shoot.

I'll kill her no matter what you do.

Nothing can stop me, Hood.



No, Robin!

No, Marian!

Get back!

Robin!

Forget about me.

Just fire.

Quiet, you.

Alwine, no!

Robin!

I look for justice, not revenge.

Robin, fire!

Robin!

Robin!



Ah!

Ah!

Ahh!

The Treasure of the Forest!



I knew I was right.

The golden cross itself is showing the way.

Soon the treasure will be mine.

Fire the incendiary device.

Raze Sherwood Forest to the ground!



Whoa!

Don't just stand there, you stupid nobleman.

Move yourself!



Ugh!



Ahh!

There's Marian.

Hello, Marian.

Oh!

The baron wants to talk to you.

Marian!

The fire's out of control.

It's going to be a disaster.

Robin, we've got to do something.

You get the others and start fighting the fire.

I'll try to rescue Cleo and Marian.

Come back!

Robin, it's too dangerous!

Cleo, Marian!

Hang on, I'm coming!



Huh?



It's you, Gilbert!



So, Huntington, is it destiny that

makes us always fight among flames?

I first saw you in your burning castle.

A lot has changed since then, eh, Robin?

Gilbert, Cleo and Marian are prisoners.

Don't you care about them?

Don't you care how you die, Robin?

Ahh!

Ahh!



My, my, you have improved.

I can see I shall have to work a little bit

to beat you.

Like this...

Ah! Ah!

Ah!



That bow is sacred, Gilbert.

The Sacred Bow of Huntington.

Your father's, if I recall.

Give it back.

It cannot be used by someone

with evil in his heart.

Is that so?

Well, we'll see about that.

I think it's time to have a little practice, Robin,

with you as a target.

It's useless, Gilbert.

You cannot use it.

My father used that bow in the defense of these woods.

It was a noble cause.



Help me!

Save me!

Hurry!

Marian!

Cleo!

Cleo, no.

Hurry!

Hurry!

Curse this bow.



'Til we meet again, Huntington.

We'll meet again, Gilbert.



Soon...



Robin needed the wisdom and guidance of his father.

Cleo and Marian were in the hands of the lunatic Alwine.

His beloved forest of Sherwood was in mortal danger.

Could this really be the end for Robin Hood?

What is it, Jenny?

Look over there.

It's awful!



Winifred, what can we do?

Oh...



Ah, oh, no!

Whoa!

That was close.



Gilbert...



Oh, do move along.

It won't be long now, Bishop.

And soon the treasure will be ours.

Oh, yes, lovely, and equal shares

for you and me, eh?

Marian...

Marian!

No, you don't.

Ugh. Ugh.

What are you thinking of, Gilbert?

I'm going to kill you, Robin of Huntington.

Don't you realize you're wasting time?

Marian must be rescued, and Cleo, your own sister.

They can wait a little longer.

Right now, I'm going to kill you.

Huh?



Marian?

Hiyah!

Take that!



Gilbert, look out!

Ahh!

No! No!

Oh, Gilbert...

No one could survive that.

Gilbert...

My bow!

Robin, Robin!

Huh?

Robin, what are you doing wasting time here?

Marian and Cleo need to be rescued.

Alwine's got them.

Hurry, Chief.

We can't hold on much longer.

The fire's closing in.

We'll take care of things here.

Now, get a move on!

Thanks, Little John, old buddy.

Did I hear right?

Hey, Chief.

What'd he call you?

He called me buddy.

Marian!



Faster!

Yah, faster now!

Yah!

The treasure, soon it will be mine!

Ours, Baron, no, ours!



I've got to save Cleo and Marian.

I'm coming!



Keep that water moving, boys!



Oh, I'm tired.

We'll never put this fire out.

Don't talk like that.

We must keep working until the forest is out of danger.

You listen to Will, Much.

We'll fight for this forest because it's our home.

Now keep moving, or I'll whack you.



Come on, more water.





At last!

This is amazing, simply amazing.

But how did it get here?

It's very simple, Hartford.

Centuries ago, the nobles had a habit

of burying part of their wealth deep under the Earth.

Legends tell us they employed underground caverns

just like these.

How exciting.

That is why it is known as the Treasure of the Forest.

Well, what are we waiting for then?

Let's go and get it.



After you.

Wait for me, Bishop.

We'll all go together.

Get a move on.

Get your hands off me.

Ah, shut up!

Oh!

Oh, let go!

Silence.

What a lot of noise.



Cleo, are you thinking about Gilbert?

As far as I'm concerned, Gilbert is dead.

Oh, Cleo.

Listen, Marian, I'm not going to think

about Gilbert ever again.

He sure doesn't think about me, does he?

No, I'm sure you're wrong about him.

I'm not.

Oh, but you are.

He was forced to leave the sister he loved.

Remember that, Cleo.

He's on his own now.

Do you know what it's like to have no friends

to help you through the bad times,

to have no one to talk to?

I used to be just like that, Cleo.

You mustn't give up on him.



Oh, Gilbert, dear Gilbert.

Cleo...

Look!

We must not let this stop our mission, Baron.

We must press on.

But how are we going to get through that?

Hmm, forward.

Clear the way.

Yah! Yah! Yah!

Oh...

The path is clear now, Baron Alwine.

We can continue.

Good.

Huh?

Baron!

Huh?

I'm falling!

Oh, do get up, man.

Get off me, do you have no respect?

Scum like you deserve no respect.

Oh, do shut up.

Wha--?



Come on!

Not so fast!

Ahhh!



It's got me!

Be careful, Baron!

Baron, please help me, or the monster will get me.

Well, it's not getting me.

Give him a kick.

Please, my lord, don't desert me.

If you don't let go of me, you fool,

I shall be forced to free myself with this.

Help him, Baron.

Don't listen to her.

Save yourself.

No! No!

Get off!

No!



Ah! Ah!

Run!

Marian!



It's magnificent.

Yes, but where are we?

Look there!

I want it all now.

Oh, look!

How pretty!

It's beautiful.

Silence, you ignorant girls.

That thing has incredible power.



Oh, what a lucky Baron I am.

I'm going to have such a lovely time

when I'm rich.

Money, money, money!



Whatever you are, I'm on your side.

Oh, very well, Hartford.

We shall settle it like this.

What exactly are you proposing, Alwine?

I am being incredibly generous, actually.

One half for you, the other for me.

Let's make a run for it.

-Come on! -Curses, they're getting away!



Alwine.

Ugh.

Oh!

Alwine, you...

Well, well, well, old chap.

We were just discussing your reward.

Weren't we, Bishop?

Yes, Baron Alwine wants to give you his share

of the treasure as a reward for your gallant bravery

and fighting spirit.

Isn't that right, Alwine?

Why, absolutely!

You vermin, you're going to die!

No, please, mercy!



Oh, well, he died a rich man.

Oh...

Well, I guess it just goes to show

the treasure was destined to be mine.

What are you two looking at?

We'll have to deal with you two.

Hmm, I should have thought of this before.

Meddlesome females...

Let us go, you animals.

There, there, Marian.

We don't need you any more, you or your stupid golden cross.

Now that we have the treasure, we can leave you to rot.

Don't touch me!

This'll take the smile off of your face, Bishop.

No amount of gold will help you now.

Marian!

Oh, Bishop.



Robin!



Oh, no, Robin, you mustn't.

I cannot forgive Alwine.

It may be wrong, but I must use the sacred bow

to kill him.

No, Robin, don't!

Sacred bow, give me strength.

No, Robin, it's forbidden!

Eh?

Robin?

Alwine, goodbye.

I'll kill the girl!

You haven't got the guts.

And, anyway, should you fire that bow,

Hartford will kill Cleo, and I will slaughter Marian

in my one final moment.

Kill me, but you will sentence these girls

to perish with me.

Go ahead, fire.





Oh...

(Alwine laughs)

Robin!

What a good idea to bring these girls along.

So, Robin--ah!



Ahhh!

-Gilbert! -Gilbert, I don't believe it.

Gilbert, but you...

Come on, Robin.

Gilbert?

Ahhh!

Robin!

Gilbert!

Ugh.



I think we should creep away quietly.

No, let's run like blazes.

Gilbert, it is madness for you and I

to be fighting like this.

We should be joining forces.

Joining forces with Alwine, yes.

Knew you would say that.

Gilbert, listen.

My first duty is to kill Robin Hood.

You know that.

Ahhh!

No!

Agh!

Robin!

I've been waiting for this day all my life.

I'm so happy.

That's just gold, you dribbling fool.

The real treasure before us is up there!

The sphere of eternal life, that is the greatest prize,

and with it, I will be all-powerful king

of all I desire.

I must help Marian and Cleo.

Are you in pain?

Huh?



What's the matter, Robin?

Lost your fighting spirit?

I always thought the Huntingtons were a courageous family.

It appears that I was wrong.



Huh?

Not so fast.

Ah!

Gilbert, stop now!

Robin!



If you use your father's bow now,

you may find your arm a little painful.



Must find some strength from somewhere.

Oh...

Marian and Cleo have to be rescued.

And the only way to do it is to kill Gilbert.

Goodbye, Robin.

Gilbert, you mustn't.

No, Gilbert, no.



(Alwine laughs)

The sphere of eternal life,

the real treasure of the forest, come to me.

I want you.

Huh? Huh?

Oh! Oh!

Not on top of me!





Ohh!

Oh!

Ahhh!

The sphere of eternal life, the treasure of the forest...

Man must never try to possess it.

If he does, it will destroy him.

It's beautiful.

I want it!

I want it!

How can Alwine be so stupid?

He'll get us all killed!

What incredible power!

This is not of our world.



I must have this power.



Ohhh!

Ahh!



Incredible.

Help me! Somebody, turn it off.

Please, help me, help me!

Robin, Gilbert!

Please, please, help me.

Oh, my arm!

Ohh!

Ahhh!

Help me, Alwine!

Oh, it's not fair!

It's not fair!

I mustn't die like this.

I'm going to be king of England.

This is not my destiny.

Whoa!

Oh, ow!

It's swallowing them up.



They must've perished.

Ah!

Cleo!

Robin!

Gilbert!

Marian!

Hold on!

Ahhh!

Ahh!



Marian!

I'm coming!

Robin!

Marian, what can I do?

Here.

The golden cross!

Marian, you mustn't.

Robin, you must take the cross.

Be brave.

Take it, Robin.

I entrust it to you.

Use it wisely.

The cross is sacred, Robin, and very powerful.

Don't let me down, Robin.

Cleo?

Oh, Gilbert, I beg your forgiveness,

my brother.

Please, Gilbert.

Oh!



I won't let it take her.

Marian!

Cleo!



Chief! Chief!

The fire's getting out of control!

We need more help!

Here, Much, take this one.

Chief! Chief!

Much, look out!

Ahhh!

Chief, oh, no!

He'll be burned alive!

Oh!

Oh!

Little John!

We must save him!

Chief! Chief, answer me!

Hey, we need some help over here.



Is Fang okay?

It's all my fault.

That's not a sphere of life.

It's a death machine.

Oh, Marian! Marian!

Stop that whimpering, and give me an arrow.

Quickly, Robin, do it!

Huh?



An arrow!

But you are forbidden.

Stop talking nonsense.

I'm a Knight of the Black Rose, and I intend to fight my way

out of here.

Ahhh!

Don't fire!



For Cleo...

Ah!



Gilbert, what have you done?

The bow must not be fired by one with evil in his heart.

It is true, my heart was once filled

with evil against you, Robin, and against my own sister,

my own dear Cleo.

Now I must undo the harm I have done.

I just hope that she's still alive.

Cleo!



Cleo!



Ahhh!

Don't give up.

Ahh!

Robin...

You can't die.

Huh?

It's no good, Robin.

It's over.

It seems that destiny requires me to die here.

No, Gilbert.

Robin, goodbye.

I hope you can forgive me.



Don't leave me.

Listen, Much, be a good outlaw,

and beat it.

Don't say that.

Little John, you're going to be fine.

Look after number one.

That's the outlaws' code.

Now get going.

Ugh. Ugh.

No! Don't die!

Please, don't die!

Use it wisely.

Be brave.



The forest is angry.

I've always fought Alwine.

We've always had our battles.

But now we are harming the forest.

And nature is punishing us.

Robin, the Golden Cross of Lancaster,

its power is a great mystery.

Robin, use it wisely.



Oh! Oh!

The golden cross...



Don't let me down, Robin,

or Cleo...

or Gilbert...

What have we done?



Mother Nature, please forgive us.



Please...



Forgive us.

Don't let me down, Robin.

Dear Lord, deliver us from the darkness,

from the evil that surrounds us.

Show us the light and the beauty of Your universe.



Huh?

Oh, wow!

It's beautiful!

It's amazing!

It's terrifying.

I hope Robin and Marian are safe.



Robin Hood, you are being reborn.



Marian!



Robin!



I entrust the cross to you, Robin.



Reborn, Robin...

Gilbert?

And me...

(laughter)



England...

Oh, it's beautiful.



Show them what it is they must defend.

For they must know the beauty which surrounds them.

They must see the universe as their mother.

She gave them life.

They must show her love.





Where am I?

What?

Did I imagine it?



Could it be...

...that I was really up there looking down?

Oh, wow.

Look, everyone!

The fire's out!

Show them what it is they must defend.



Did I--did I just have an amazing dream?

Oh, Marian, I think we all did.

And maybe we've been given a job to do.

Do you think that could be what it means?

Mm-hmm.

Robin?

Robin?

Gilbert, I--

No, Robin.

I owe you my life.



Gilbert, your scar!

It's completely gone!

Wha--?

Oh, Robin gave me that scar.

And now it's gone.

So I have been forgiven.

Then the feud between you and Robin is over.

For good--



Hello, Friar Tuck!

Huh?

Well, now you look a lot better.

Yes, I'm better now just like Sherwood Forest.

I'm fighting fit and strong as an ape.

(makes ape sound)

Now that Alwine's been defeated, I feel positively reborn.

Did you say reborn?

Mm-hmm, like I've died and gone to Heaven.

What?



Gilbert, do you really have to go?

Mm-hmm.

I never thought I would say this.

I shall miss you, Robin, my friend.

We will both miss you, hey, Marian?

Mm-hmm.

That's right.

Goodbye, Gilbert.

Robin.

Cleo.

I've always liked you, Robin.

Haven't I, Marian?

And I've always liked you, Gilbert.

Ah.

Well, that's the first time I've seen Gilbert blush.



Farewell.

Show them what it is they must defend.

They must see the universe as their mother.

She gave them life.

They must show her love.



Get up, boy!

What's the matter, Cleo?

I thought I heard Marian's voice.

But now I'm not so sure.

(laughter)



Look, there's Robin.

Cleo!

Hello!

Hello, hello!

They said he would never fly.

Still near my quarter of the year!



Nobody believed me when I said man could fly.

But look at me, I'm a bird!

Gilbert, can you see me?

I came to say goodbye.

Goodbye, Robin!

We'll meet again.

And so the enemies were friends at last.

And Sherwood Forest was finally at peace.

As for Baron Alwine, he lies buried beneath

the forest in the great caves.

And you can bet that Bishop Hartford

isn't giving him a moment's peace.



Gather 'round, and prepare to be amazed.

So listen to me, and I'll tell you the story

of the Nottingham ghoul.

Oh, no, I'm scared.

Come on, it's not that scary.

Not you, there's something--

What is it?

Over there.

Ohhh!

Wha--wha--what is it?

Ohhh!

Oh, what is it?



(screams)



Hey!

Wait for me!

Oh, Little John, wait!



Oh, I know.

We're going to be so happy now.



Oh, it seems so strange to be leaving our hideout.



Yeah, we were safe up there.

Alwine's men could never find us.

Oh, Robin, I can't believe we're actually free again.

Marian, Robin, come on!

Yay!

Yay!

Huh?

Okay!



Whoa, what a machine!

Near the night unto thee!

Whoa, there.

Huh?

Company, dismount.



Whoa!

Ahhh!



Attacked, we're being attacked!

Where'd he come from?

He's over there!

Victory, get to him, get to him!

What are you doing here?

Huh?

Oh!

Just thought I'd drop in.

Explain yourself, crazy monk.

I was just up about 200 feet, you see.

Quiet, stand up.

Stand aside.



Ahhh!

Ah, ah!

What's the meaning of this?



Hmm?

What's going on here?



Well?

Do forgive me, my lord,

but you're Count John, aren't you?

The younger brother of King Richard?

God bless you, sir, and your brother.

Yes, I am Count John.



Stand back there, monk.

How dare you address his highness.

You scum, now that King Richard

is dead, his royal highness will soon be king.



Oh, forgive me, your highness.

Oh!

Please, don't hurt me, I'm a man of peace.

I meant no harm, I just--oh!



Your highness, what are you doing?

-Did you see that? -I saw it.

Yeah, what's going on?

Thank you.

It's nothing.

His highness is forgetting himself.

The monk is just trash.

Shut up.

No, no, he's right, your highness.

I am not worthy of this.

No, Friar, a monarch must care

for his people, all his people,

the high and the low.

My subjects will be cared for.

You mustn't fear, Friar.

No one will harm you.

Farewell.

Ahh!

Escort, advance!

By the way, Fox, have you had any success

in finding my brother, Richard?

No luck yet, your highness.

But I'm convinced we shall find him somewhere

in Nottingham.

I hope so, Fox, for your sake.

I swear, your highness, we'll find him.

Get up there, go on!

Yah!

May God go with you.

Robin?

Little John, you're just in time to do some work.

Don't be a dummy, listen to this.

Do you know what we saw last night in the forest?

No, Much, we--we don't know.

Then we'll tell you, mm-hmm.

Yeah, we saw the ghost of Baron Alwine.

And Bishop Hartford.

Alwine's ghost?

Oh!

He and Hartford were locked up forever.

They were killed.

Did you say Baron Alwine?

His ghost has been seen in the village.

Really, who are you?

I'm the woodcutter, I live in the village by the church.

And I tell you these ghosts have got people scared.

Everyone's seen them.

Everyone's seen them?

So it's not just a stupid rumor?

Stupid rumor?

Much and I have already told you we saw them with our own eyes.

The others saw them, too.

Ask them if you don't believe me.

(animals howl)





Was this where you saw them, Little John?

Yeah.

Chief, just in case we see them again, try not to panic.

-Shut up! -Ow!



(ghost moaning)



Ahhh!

Oh!



Wha--!

Oh, Fang , it was you.

(screaming)

Oh, it was Fang all the time.

Fang!

Will you shut up?

-Ow! -Keep that animal quiet.

I think I heard something.

Quiet!

(ghost moaning)



Hey, Alwine!



Ohh!



Robin?



Come on, Marian.

Chief, now's the time.

They've stopped.

Get ready!



(screaming)

Alwine, goodbye!

(ghost moaning)



Hurry up, Little John!

Oh, hurry, they're getting away, come on, Chief!

Why didn't you tell me?

Ohhh!

We got them!

We got them!

We got them!

Oh, they look horrible.

Ooh, they smell awful.

Careful, Robin.

Ohh!



Robin, have pity.

Ohh!



We're lost.



Alwine, you're alive?





You frightened the villagers.

And you're not ghosts.

Forgive us our sins.



I'm sorry.

Forgive.

It's too late for that, Alwine.

Too late, nothing could make up for what you've done.

I wish you were dead, we were happy then.

And don't think we've forgotten about you, Bishop.



Alwine, Bishop Hartford,

to increase your wealth and power,

you had many people killed, including my parents.

Not only that, but you and your villainous friends

tried to destroy the Forest of Sherwood.

Repenting is not enough, Alwine.

Ugh!

Uh!

Oh.

There it is.

Look at this.

I used all my strength and cunning to get control

of the treasure of the forest.

And now all I have left is this tiny, little jewel.



No friends, no wealth, my army has deserted me.

I have nothing.

Baron Alwine is telling the truth, you know.

No, they can see that, can't they?

This little jewel is a symbol of my greed.

It will always remind me of my own stupidity.

And now I have lost everything.

Ugh.

Robin, I cannot live in this terrible limbo.

So please, kill me.

Strike the blow, and avenge your parents.

Kill you?

Deep down, that is what you want.

I can't carry on like this, Robin.

Please, please, please finish me now.

Your death on its own would be useless.

Eh?

I don't understand.

Tell me something, Robin.

Ugh, surely all this time, you have wanted me dead.

Oh, boy.

Alwine, you could redeem yourself.

Will you listen?

Yes, tell me.

You must now make amends for what you've done,

but as sheriff.

Not sheriff again.

Go back to Nottingham, and make good all the damage you've done.

No!

Let's kill him!

Robin, we can't do that.

Ugh!

Ugh!

Ohh!

Ohh!

I agree with Robin.

Marian!

He must go back to Nottingham.

He must put right all the terrible things he's done.

And he must become loved and respected by the people.

Eh, loved?

Respected?

For Alwine, that is a punishment worse than death.

Marian is right, that's what you'll have to do.



I will try.



I will try.

Baron Alwine, he's back!

I thought he was dead.

So did I.

Make way.

Ugh.

Ugh.

Baron Alwine has returned from the dead.



May I bid you welcome, your highness?

I must apologize, however, for recent events in Nottingham.

I bear the shame myself.

Please don't apologize, Baron.

We're glad to see you back.

Oh, thank you, your highness.

I heard news of the fire in Sherwood Forest

and of your disappearance.

I hear about most things, you see.

So I came here to see for myself.

Of course, Sire.

But I have a problem.

My brother, Richard, went to fight the Crusades.

But he never returned.

We have no news on him.

I am most anxious.

I know, I'm sorry, Sire.

Why, thank you, Baron.

There is hope that my brother is in England.

And it is this that keeps me traveling in search of him.

Until he is found, I will rule as King of England.

Please stay in the castle as long as you wish, your highness.

-We thank you, Baron. -Sire?

Baron, I am very worried about my brother.

Until he can be found, I will be responsible

for the welfare of the people.

The welfare of the people?

He cares for the welfare of the people.

He searches the country for his dear brother, Richard...

...for the sake of his people.

I must learn more about this remarkable man.

(rain coming down)

A party?

Yes, Baron Alwine invites you all to a special party

at the castle, it is in your honor

to celebrate your reconciliation.

You must be joking.

If we go along there, he'll poison all of us.

Anyhow, the invitation is for tonight at Nottingham Castle.

I thank you.

Goodbye.

And get your hair cut.

It could be a trap, Robin.

Little John could be right.

Mm-hmm.



No one will come, no one.



My lord, I--

We will wait a little longer.

Yes, my lord.

My lord, the guests have arrived.

Ah, excellent.

Come in, come in.

Welcome, welcome to you all.

Do take your places, and tuck in.

Listen, I only came here because I'm watching out for you.

But since I am here, don't you trust him.

Give him a chance, will you?

Milk, I know how much you all like it.

You have no idea how many cows we've milked,

well, not me of course-- oh, dear.

Look, it's not poisoned.



I see.

Hey?

May I?



Ugh, Robin, I know what you think.

But I hope one day you can trust me.

One day?

You know, Chief, I don't think it's poisoned.

Oh, don't you?

Baron, please forgive me.

Of course.

My friends, I never thought I'd be saying this,

but raise your glasses to freedom.

To freedom!

To freedom!

Ugh.

And so peace came at last to Nottingham and Sherwood.

Their long feud with Alwine was quickly forgotten

as they enjoyed the best food and drink

anyone could remember.

To Robin and Marian, Baron Alwine seemed a different man.

They had no doubt he had changed his ways.

Even Little John forgave him.



Here, let me give you an apple, Big Mouth.

Oh!

Jenny, no!

It's all right, Will, Jenny wanted to play with Alwine.

She reminds him of his little niece.



Oh, well, Alwine must've been a very lonely man.

Oh, I'm so happy

Oh, the hours I spent up here plotting.

I could've had a family of my own by now.

Ugh, such a waste.

And what have I got, my greed and ambition?

A little green jewel.

Well, no more of that.

I will prove to the people I mean them no harm.

I will become a good ruler like Count John.

No!

Hmm?

No, no, no!

You useless man.

That's the Count's voice.

-This is maddening! -What on Earth?

No, you idiot, this is terrible!



Ahhh!

Oh, no, please, don't hit me again.

Tell me why not, you imbecile.

You fool, come here!

How much longer must I go on being a puppet?

You're supposed to take care of these things.

I'm sorry, just a little longer.

Oh, no!

You were supposed to make sure that my brother was murdered.

Without proof of his death, I cannot be king.

My brother must be found and killed.

Then I can really become king of England.

Lies, lies.

Listen carefully, Fox.

I want to become king.

I will do anything to make sure that I am crowned.

Your job is to find my brother and murder him.

Or I'll kill you.

What was that?

Did you hear something?

Oh.

I trusted him.

But he's evil, just like me.

Perhaps I can never change.

Are we always to be greedy and selfish?



That little jewel, it looks so harmless.

But I would have killed to possess it.

Perhaps I can never change.

Ah!

There's someone there.

Alwine?

What shall I do with him?

Kill him!

Sire.

(laughter)



Your highness, look!

(laughter)

He's crazy.

Kill him.

(laughter)



What's so funny, Baron?

Death is no laughing matter.

I hope you will forgive me if I speak rudely or out of turn.

But I have to say, I learned from you, Count.

A man of ambition should never reveal his true feelings,

especially when in danger.

Quickly now.

Just what are you getting at?

With great respect, Count John,

I am like you, a man of great ambition.

I aimed to improve my lot in this miserable life.

Enough, Baron, your time is up.

-No, wait. -Why wait?

Impressive, your speech has saved your life.

Alwine, can you be loyal to me?

On my life, I most solemnly swear

allegiance to you, Count John, future king of England.

And in return?

Oh, not that much, I'd settle for Governor of Nottingham.

And I hope I can learn to win the respect and love

of the people just as you have.

Ah, excellent.

So be it then.

We'll meet later on to talk.

There are many plans for us to discuss.

As you wish.

Perfect, they played right into my hands,

the hopeless fools.

Now with John's power to aid me,

nothing will stop me from ruling this land.

Nothing!



I mean for him to be organizing an archery competition--

Well, maybe he's decided to turn over a whole new leaf.

Yeah, and there's no charge.

That's the weirdest part, it's completely free.

What do you think of our new bow, Robin?

Ain't she a beauty?

Er, yeah, it's--it's a fine bow,

but are you sure you can handle the contest?

Are you kidding, "handle the contest?"

Arrgh, I can shoot this bow alongside the best of them.

In your dreams.

Oh!

Watch your lip.

This is going to be some competition, you know.

Yeah, I know the Baron's laying on everything.



Welcome, my people, to the archery contest of the century!

Now, I want all you lovely taxpayers--

I mean citizens, to have a wonderful day.

Everything is free, so enjoy yourselves.



Bishop, you seem perturbed.

Is anything the matter?

No, not really.

It's just that I don't think I should be here today.

Why might that be, old champ?

Well, it's some--I--

Splendid, we'll discuss it later.



Wow.

Looks kind of serious, doesn't he?

The Count John, our king's own brother.

I know, he's much more powerful than Alwine.

Good people of Nottingham, today is a very special day,

for we are indeed honored and privileged to be graced

by the presence of so great a man as Count John.

Now, fine citizens, before the contest,

the noble count would like to speak.

Thank you, Baron Alwine.

I know that once my dear brother is not with us,

we are all sad.

Believe me, my good friends, there is not a single day

that goes by when I do not think of him.



I want you to know I am doing everything

in my power to find him.

But, good people of Nottingham, let us not dwell on this.

Today's competition is a great occasion.

In my brother's absence, Baron Alwine

has looked after you well.

He is faithful servant to our king.

Alwine 's been faithful to no one but himself.

Yeah, if the count knew him like we knew him,

he wouldn't be saying that.

Alwine 's as evil as ever.

Now let the competition begin.

All archers are to gather at the center of the square.

The usual rules will apply.

And may the best archer win.

There will be a prize for the victor

given by the count in person.

Oh, a prize?

A prize?

Argh, I'm going to win that prize!

Excuse me, Chief, may I suggest that you get real?

I've never seen you fire a bow before.

Say, how would you fancy a tasty knuckle sandwich,

you little pipsqueak?



Archer's, take your positions.



Thirty.

Forty-two.

And twenty.

Good arrows, gentlemen.

This is terrific.

Yeah, and it seems we have Baron Alwine to thank for that.



Yahraaah!

Go for it, Little John, go for it!



Little John scores very little.

Oh, Little John.

Oh, dear!

Thirty-two.

Yeah!

Well-done!

Oh, wow!

Great shot!

Did you see that, Chief?

If you win, I want that prize.



Thirty-five, thirty-nine.

Great stuff there, Will.

You're the best!

Well, I hope I make it through to the next round.

Well, my turn.

Wish me good luck.



Bull's eyes all the way.

Robin scores a nifty 50.

Good score, that kid there is really good with a bow.

He's also a nasty little toad, that boy, Robin.

Oh, so that's the one.

And lately he's been causing you a lot of bother, you say?

I just hope he doesn't win today.

Have no fear, Baron.

I have a man of my own in this competition.



-Fifty score, level pegging. -Oh, great shot.

This guy's serious competition for you, Robin.

You'll win, you're the best of them all.

Well, it's not the winning that's important here, Jenny.

Huh, well, why not?

Just look there.

See how happy they all are?

All these people are enjoying themselves

here today because of this competition.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, there's Alwine.



I think I'm going to go talk to him.

-Why? -'Cause I have to thank him.

What exactly did you wish to speak to me about, Baron?

Since we understand each other so well, dear Bishop,

I thought you might be interested

in a little caper, I've planned.

How deliciously thoughtful of you, dear Baron.

As you know, I'm always keen on personal gain.

Pray, tell me more.

Well, now that I've won John's trust,

this scheme of mine simply cannot fail.

What are you up to?

I think the Baron must've gone this way.



Now am I to believe my ears?

The king, you say?

Oh, but I am deadly serious.

If Count John were to be king, then we'd be made rich

beyond our wildest dreams.

Attractive, isn't it?



Further, since I am now his most humble servant

and trusted right hand man,

it would be a simple matter to become--

But more of that later, do you like the plan?

I'm a great fan of your wickedness.

-But will it work? -Oh, yes.

My dear, Baron, you really are splendidly bad.

But there's one thing that puzzles me about this

archery contest.

Why have you spent good money

just so the people can enjoy themselves?

If there's one thing I've learned from the Count,

it's a very special way of looking after the people.

(laughter)

Huh?

Huh?

Someone must've heard us.

Get them.

Come back, sneak.

I'd catch him myself, but leg's playing up.

Faster!

Faster!

Hogs and hounds, who could've spied on us?

I must silence them, or we're finished.



Stop, I say.

Stop you little--

Huh?

Oh, Robin.

Oh, hi there, Baron.

Where have you been?

I've been looking for you?

You--it wasn't you then?

-Wasn't me when? -Maybe I was wrong.

I could've sworn it was him at the door.

But it was so dark.

No, it must've been him.

Yes, Baron?

Might I have a word, old champ?

Okay.

Wow, this is some view.

Gosh, you can see everything from this part of the castle.

Hey, is that Much down there?

I just can't figure him out, he's dangerous, that's for sure.

Too dangerous.

I'll have to silence him.

Yes, it's the only way.



-Now. -Alwine?

Oh, what is it Robin?

This bow used to belong to my father.

How splendid!

It's been a great friend to me in times of trouble.

And it also has magical powers.

Really?

Any man who is cruel, greedy, and dishonest

cannot draw this bow.

Oh, that's--that's amazing.

Go on and have a try, Baron.

No, really--

Oh, surely now, you must be able to do it.

-Forty-five score. -Okay!

Nice shot, right on, Much, I'm proud of you.

Oh, yeah!

Oh, now I'm so ashamed.

You know, I never thought I'd see the day.

Just look at everybody.

Peace and happiness and joy

have returned to Nottingham castle.

And it's all due to their sheriff.

And you, Alwine, have turned out to be

a very fine sheriff.

I was wrong.

Come on.

Try it, Alwine.

No, Robin.

Be a very fine sheriff.

No.

I'm still not worthy of drawing this bow,

although I'm trying.

I am not fully free of my sins.

Now go and finish the contest.

I wish you luck.

I'll stay here and think.

Go now.

Off you go.

Oh, I love it.

Alwine, the sincere and sorry Baron,

you old fox.

You don't have to double-cross anyone, you know?

You did hear us.

Yes, Baron, I did hear something.

Ugh!

Oh!

Ugh!

Bull's eye.

I have no idea what you and Bishop Hartford

were planning about Count John.

But you can still change your mind.

You've made such a great start.

You've proved you can be good.

Remember the promise you made us.

Listen, it's not too late.

So think about it.

But why did you pretend not to have heard?

Alwine, I'll never tell anyone

that you had a moment of weakness.

Oh, but Robin, Robin.

I can't change my ways now.

It's too late.

I'll never do it.

Hey, yes, you can.

Hmmm!

Not worthy.

Huh?

I'm not worthy.

You have seen into my wretched heart, Robin.

It's true there was a moment when I doubted my ways

and regretted my wickedness.

But it's too late now.

I have gone far too far this time.

What have you done?

Oh!

I'm such a fool.

What?

(laughter)

I poisoned the Count's apple.

What?

What have I done?

What have I done?

-It's not true. -It is.

In my greed, I wanted the throne for me.

Hey, Count John!

Don't eat that apple.

(crowd noise)

Oh, no.



Just one chance to save the count.

Huh?



Bull's eye.

What the--

Who fired that arrow?

Assess him!

Robin!

Robin!

I've done it.

Alwine, you're in the clear.



Huh?

Here he is.

I've caught the traitor who tried to kill the count.

Why, Alwine!

My dear boy, let me give you a tip.

Trust no one, especially not me.

I know...now.

You fool, what do you think I could have possibly gained

by killing the count, hmm?

The apple that you shot wasn't poisoned.

I lied.

Quickly, bring him to me.

Not so fast, boy.

Well, do your worst, Baron.

You'll never get away with this, I swear.

Now, you listen to me.

I have no intention of watching you be executed.

So be gone.

As of now, you're an outlaw.

If I were you, I'd leave, and rather quickly at that,

Robin Hood.

No way!

They're in there!

Yeah!

Open up!

Will, run!

Get away, escape!

-What's going on? -Come on, you guys.

There's no point hanging around up there at the window.

We haven't got a second to lose, let's go.

Will you just listen to me for once in your life?

-We'll be back! -Marian!

Robin will be okay, you'll see.

Right now, I think we should go.



Hey, Baron, I'm going to tell the truth now.

And then you'll be finished.

I hardly think so, oh, dear me, no.

You see, in the eyes of everyone else,

you're a weasely little stoat.

And of course, I'm still the honorable Baron Alwine.

So no one's going to believe you, I'm afraid.

Let me give you a tip.

The truth will always win out.

After him.

The criminal must not escape us.

There are several truths, Robin, depending on the situation.

Where's Alwine?

I demand an explanation.

I say that he's not to be trusted.

I agree.

But he will be useful to us.

Yes.



Phew, that was close.

(splashing)

Oh, I hope everyone else made it to safety.

Huh?

Oh, no, not that!



Good work, men!

Robin Hood's gang must've taken to the woods.

Quickly find them, and flush them out.

The villains will pay dearly for their treachery.

What do I do?

Where do I go?



I don't know.

But I do know that Alwine will pay.
