2.04 The Sheriff and his sinister scientist, Joseph, are testing a chemical weapon on a street in Nottingham Town and blaming the ill effects on the Pestilence; but Dan Scarlett, who's in town to visit his son, Will, knows it's not the pestilence at all, as Dominic Minghella's drama continues.
Dan wants Will to become his apprentice and run the family's carpentry business, but Will is frustrated that his father is blind to the good work he does as an outlaw. Father and son bicker about what's best for Will - but tragically fail to resolve their dispute before the Sheriff murders Dan for speaking out against the suspected poisoning.
Now Robin realises that the Sheriff is up to something and resolves to track down the source of the poison before more innocent people die. Bravely plunging into the heart of "pestilence" territory, the outlaws work tirelessly to soothe the sick - little realising that the strange helper from Leicester is none other than Joseph!
Worse still, Robin believes Will has returned to Scarborough when, in fact, he's headed straight for the Castle to punish the Sheriff for his act. With lives at stake, Robin must track down the source of the poison in time. But what will he do when he realises that Will is intent on avenging his father's death at any cost..?
The Sheriff of Nottingham is played by Keith Allen, Joseph by Ralf Little, Dan Scarlett by Sean Murray, Will Scarlett by Harry Lloyd and Robin Hood by Jonas Armstrong.

2.05A horrified Robin realises that his plan to capture the Sheriff's spy, Henry of Lewes, has failed because he has a traitor in his gang. Fearing for Marian's safety in the castle, Robin sets about rooting out the turncoat. His only clue is supplied by Marian: the spy's meeting place is located at the Trip To Jerusalem Inn, where the traitor outlaw sells his secrets to Gisborne.
With two missions to complete Robin is relieved when Henry of Lewes arrives at the castle unconscious, his vital information about the King's landing sites remaining a mystery. Robin infiltrates the castle to silence Henry, but help arrives in the shape of harridan wise-woman Matilda, tasked by the Sheriff to nurse Henry to health. Asking Robin to look after her heavily pregnant daughter, Matilda promises that she'll silence Henry using special herbs, but doesn't bargain upon the Sheriff making the connection with Robin Hood and putting her life in mortal peril...
Robin returns to the forest with Matilda's daughter, to a confused and hurt gang: they resent being suspected of treachery and it takes all of Robin's leadership skills to rally his outlaws into helping Rosa.
But then Marian arrives, reporting that Matilda is about to be tried for witchcraft. The race is on to rescue her before she drowns. Can Robin trust his gang to save the lives at stake as well as silencing Henry? As Robin well knows, there is a spy in his gang who needs catching before this day is out.
Jonas Armstrong plays Robin Hood, Lucy Griffiths plays Marian, Richard Armitage plays Sir Guy of Gisborne, Josie Lawrence plays Matilda, Keith Allen plays The Sheriff of Nottingham and David Bamber plays Henry of Lewes.

2.06The Sheriff's Black Knights gather at the castle to attend a feast and declare their allegiance to Prince John by signing the Great Pact of Nottingham. With the outlaws disguised as entertainers, Robin infiltrates the castle to join forces with the only man who can stop them: former Sheriff Edward's old ally and Black Knight, the Sheriff of Winchester. Winchester's territory is key to the Sheriff's Shah Mat plan that will apprehend a homecoming King Richard at the southern ports.
Once Robin is satisfied he has convinced Winchester to stand up to the Sheriff, he sends the outlaws on a diversionary mission and writes a farewell letter to Marian. Preparing to make his greatest sacrifice alone for King Richard and England, Robin hopes to finish Shah Mat once and for all by killing all the Black Knights.
As Robin enters the feast disguised as a Black Knight, he's in for a terrible shock: Winchester is revealed to be corrupt and has double-crossed Robin, lining him up for the Sheriff to kill. With Marian added as a sweetener to his deal, Winchester has set Robin up. Surrounded by a roomful of enemies, Robin faces certain death alone. Only with the help of his outlaw gang can he hope to fight for his life...
Jonas Armstrong is Robin Hood; Denis Lawson is the Sheriff of Winchester; Keith Allen is the Sheriff of Nottingham; and Lucy Griffiths is Marian.

2.07Robin is determined to get hold of the Great Pact of Nottingham, written proof of the Sheriff's treason as Dominic Minghella's drama continues. So when lovelorn Knight John of York and his chest of silver pass by Robin and the gang, and the Knight begs the outlaws to take pity on him and save his girl, Robin formulates a plan.
The Knight is sent off not only with his money, but the gang's too. For Robin intends to rob everything back once it reaches the castle by using York's silver to locate where the Sheriff's treasure - including the Pact - is hidden.
As the outlaws gather at the castle shadowing York's chest, fate is about to deal a devastating blow in the form of Gisborne's new right-hand man, Allan A Dale. While Marian tends to Edward in the dungeons she overhears Allan earning his keep by giving all of the outlaws' secret entrances away. Once Robin realises that Marian's under threat too, he decides that England can wait: Marian needs saving!
Edward, meanwhile, is spurred to action: if the Pact offers irrefutable evidence of Prince John's treason, then he resolves to do all he can to retrieve it. Escaping his dungeon, he locates the Pact of Nottingham in the Sheriff's secret safe.
But, as Marian prevents Robin from silencing Allan, Edward is discovered escaping Nottingham and concealing the pact - with tragic and life-changing consequences for Marian...
