(SEAGULLS CRYING)

I've got a bite! I've got a bite!

Steady. Hold it, Jamie. I'll be with you in a jiffy.

-I'm not Jamie. I'm Andy. -(LAUGHTER)

Well, I'm blessed if I can tell you two twins apart.

-I don't think he's a very big one. -Well, let's have a look.

-ELI: Reel him in. -Here it comes.

-Oh, it's not bad! -Lovely.

Let's have a look, then. Shall we see?

Oh, it's not a bad size.

Oh look, there's another boat.

ELI: Sounds like Jacob Finch, by the engine.

Yeah, that's him all right.

Where's he off to?

Monk's Island, most likely. Jacob often fishes near there.

Monk's Island? Where's that?

You see that smudge of land on the horizon?

-Yes. -Well, that's Monk's Island.

-It looks awfully far away. -It is far away.

Much too far for a boat like this to go back and forth.

Does anyone live there?

Not likely.

No-one lives there, and no-one ever goes there.

No, you'll give Monk's Island a wide berth.

Why?

Well, there used to be an old monastery on the island,

and they do say a monk still wanders in the ruins there.

You mean a ghost?

Monk's Island is haunted, then.

Thanks for taking us out, Eli.

-It's been marvellous. -Absolutely smashing.

Can we come fishing with you again tomorrow?

Oh, I don't see why not.

Now you run off, have your tea, or your Auntie Edna'll be after me.

Oh, and, er...

give her these, will you, with my compliments.

Gosh!

And Tom, this is for you, seeing it's your birthday tomorrow.

-Gosh! -Don't open it till the morning, mind.

-Thank you, Eli! -Right, off you go, then.

ALL: Bye!

This is from me.

Many happy returns, Tom.

-Thanks very much, Aunt Edna. -Wow!

-I wonder what it is? -It's a torch!

Oh!

Oh, look!

EDNA: It's a real boatman's torch.

-It's waterproof. -It's super!

Here! Aren't you going to open Eli's?

Oh, he remembered. Jolly good.

Oh, I wonder what it is?

It's the one he gave to you yesterday.

Oh! Good old Eli!

Now you'd better get down to the harbour and thank him.

And, er... show him all the rest of your presents.

-Bye, Auntie! -Bye-bye, dear!

ALL: Morning, Eli!

Ah! Morning, children!

-Happy birthday, Tom. -Thanks!

And thanks for the fishing tackle. It's just what I wanted!

Can we try it out today?

I'm afraid I shan't be going out this morning.

-Got a bit of trouble here. -(CHILDREN GROANING)

I don't suppose you'd let us take it out by ourselves, would you?

By yourselves, eh?

-Dad taught us how to handle her. -ALL: Oh yes, Eli, please!

Well, I must say you can handle her, all right.

I'll say that for you.

I don't see why not.

Now look, you go up, see your Aunt Edna,

and see what she says.

Well, it's a lovely calm day,

and as Eli thinks you can manage the dinghy,

I don't see why not.

-CHILDREN: Hurray! -Only...

-promise not to go out too far. -CHILDREN: Of course we won't!

Oh, well, I suppose this means a picnic lunch.

(CHILDREN CHEERING)

Put your life jackets on, twins.

Oh, awfully uncomfortable things.

Oh, stop moaning.

Not too far out to sea, remember?

Don't worry. We'll keep in front of the harbour.

-Right, off you go. -Bye.

CHILDREN: Bye, Eli! Bye!

(ENGINE STARTING)

Jacob.

Something I want to talk to you about.

Oh?

You know everyone round these 'ere parts.

Even most of the holidaymakers.

-Well? -Well...

Have you seen this chap hangin' about?

No.

No, I've never seen him before.

What's it all about, anyway?

Well, there've been several prison escapes the last few months,

and this chap broke out yesterday.

It's thought that he's making for somewhere round the coast here,

with the idea of getting out of the country.

Why, I told ye,

I don't know nothin' about it.

Do I?

ALL: Oh!

I'm fed up with this.

We won't catch any fish here.

Let's go out to where we were yesterday.

-Oh yeah, good idea! -Yeah!

Do you think we ought to? You know what Eli and Aunt Edna said.

Don't flap, Jane. We'll be all right.

-Course we will. -We'll get more fish there, anyway.

Come on!

(ENGINE STARTING)

Afternoon, Eli.

Afternoon, ma'am.

Sorry I couldn't take the children out fishing today.

I suppose we did right, letting them go out on their own?

Oh, they'll be all right.

Very good seamen, those children.

Perfectly capable of taking care of themselves.

-CHILDREN: Oh! -JAMIE: He's not very big, is he?

Never mind. At least I caught something with my new tackle.

Shall we throw them back now? It must be getting quite late.

Might as well. They're a bit titchy.

Then home for tea.

Hope Aunt Edna made me a birthday cake.

JANE: I can't see the land.

Silly, it's over there.

Where?

That's funny.

Still, that's where we want to go.

-Right, Andy, start the engine. -Okay.

(ENGINE STARTING)

Eli!

Miss Robinson.

Sorry to fuss, Eli, but I can't help being a bit anxious about the children.

-It's getting late, you know. -No need to worry, Miss Robinson.

There they are now.

You sure it's them?

Why, yes.

No, wait a minute.

That looks like someone else.

That means the children are still out at sea, then.

Well, what are we going to do?

It's going to be dark soon.

I'll get my boat out, and go and have a look for them.

♪ What shall we do with the drunken sailor?

♪ What shall we do with the drunken sailor?

♪ What shall we do with the drunken sailor?

♪ Early in the morning... ♪

(ENGINE SPUTTERING)

♪ Hey, ho, up she rises

♪ Hey, ho, up... ♪

(ENGINE STOPS)

-What's happened? -Now we're really in trouble.

We've run out of petrol.

CHILDREN: Oh, no!

ANDY: We might as well save it, Jane.

I don't think anybody could see it.

JANE: It's worth a try.

Come on, let's start rowing.

One, two. One, two. One, two.

One... oh, no!

JANE: Quick, get the oar!

Get it, quick!

Now we've only got one oar.

-Oh, no! -Oh, gosh!

We won't find 'em in the dark.

ELI: I'm not going back without those children.

(YAWNING)

Skinny, wake up. It's morning.

(TOM GROANING)

Any sign of land?

-No. -I'm frozen.

-Best wake the twins. -Oh, leave them.

They're probably worn out after all that rowing.

It's so cold, they'll catch pneumonia if we leave them.

-Andy, wake up. -Come on, wake up.

-Come on, come on. -Andy, wake up.

It's morning. Come on.

We've got to get our circulation going before we can do anything.

I want my breakfast before I do anything.

So do we all. Now, come on.

Cubby's exercise with me. Begin!

Forwards, sideways, upwards.

Forwards, sideways, upwards.

I can't do it in this thing. I'm taking it off.

-Do you think you ought to, Andy? -Oh, it doesn't matter.

Now, come on. Put a bit of life into it.

Forwards, sideways, upwards!

Forwards, sideways, upwards!

-Come on! -When?

Upwards!

JACOB: It's no good, Eli.

Why don't you turn back?

ELI: We'll just have to keep on looking, that's all.

Forwards, sideways, upwards.

Forwards, sideways, upwards.

-Forwards, sideways... -Look! Land! Land!

Land! Hurray, we've sighted land at last!

ALL: Hurray!

Come on, let's start paddling.

You use the oar, we'll use our hands.

-Who's tired now? -We're not!

Faster!

-Faster! -I am!

Steady as we go!

-It's an island! -Never mind.

There'll be someone there to give us a meal, and some dry clothes,

and get a message back to Aunt Edna that we're all right.

I hope there's some lovely steak and kidney pud.

Smashing bacon and eggs will do me fine.

-Unless it's Monk's Island. -Ooh, let's hope not.

Especially after that story Eli told us.

No, it couldn't be.

It's too far for us to have drifted to in the night.

Eli!

JACOB: Right, bring her over, Eli! Bring her over!

Now then, Eli.

-It's from my boat, all right. -Ah, well.

Not much point in going on now, is there?

Better keep on searching.

-Keep a sharp lookout for anything else. -Right, Skip.

TOM: Look out for those rocks.

TOM: The current is taking us in. Try and slow her down a bit.

We're going to crash!

CHILDREN: Help! Help! Help!

(GROANING)

We'd better give him artificial respiration.

He's unconscious.

Do you know how to do it, Skinny?

Yes, I learned it at the Scouts.

Make a pile of sand here.

That's to make an arch for his back.

Right, turn him over onto it.

Put his head onto one side,

get his elbows, and push on his chest for

one second, two seconds, three seconds.

Out again for four seconds, five seconds, six seconds.

One second, two seconds, three seconds,

out again for four seconds, five seconds, six seconds.

In again for one second, two seconds, three seconds,

out again for four seconds, five seconds...

(MOANING)

He's coming round!

-What happened? -TOM: You took your life jacket off,

and nearly drowned. That's what's happened.

I told you to keep it on.

-You okay? -Yes, I think so.

Good old Andy!

Come on, let's see if we can find someone.

Careful.

Come on, Andy. You'll be okay in a minute. Come on.

(ANDY COUGHING)

Look!

(DOOR CREAKING)

No-one lives here, that's for sure.

And there's nothing in here to eat, or to use to get dry.

I'm terribly thirsty.

That's because of all the sea-water you swallowed.

Doesn't work.

I wonder what's up the stairs?

Let's get these off, and I'll have a look.

Right.

-Oh! -JANE: Oh, Skinny!

My hair!

It's got dust on it now!

Oh, dear!

Nothing up there, except rotten floorboards.

You don't say!

I saw a shed outside. Let's go and have a look in there!

Nobody's been here for a long time, either.

Can anyone see any matches anywhere?

Good idea. We must light a fire first, to keep warm and dry.

We can explore the island later.

-None here. -I can't see any, either.

Well, we'll just have to light the fire without.

But how?

Find any little bits of dry wood you can, and I'll show you.

Right, come on.

(SEAGULLS CRYING)

Look, put them down here.

Oh, I get it now.

JANE: Andy, stop!

But I'm dying of thirst.

You might, if you drink that.

Why? It's only rainwater.

You don't know what else is in that butt.

Dead birds, all kinds of rubbish.

But I'm so thirsty!

Let's just get this fire going first.

We'll boil some of it, then you can drink as much as you like.

I'll go and look for a can.

Come on, Andy. Help me blow on this.

TOM: It's catching! Good!

I found this with some nails in. Will it do?

Yeah, fine. Will you take it down to the beach and clean it?

You can scour it out with some sand.

And you'd better leave your anorak to dry.

(BLEATING)

What was that?

(BLEATING)

-Sounded like a sheep. -Or a goat.

Whatever it is, it means there's a farm nearby.

And the farmer's wife will give us our breakfast.

Come on!

(CHILDREN SHOUTING)

(GOATS BLEATING)

JANE: Come on, Jamie! Quickly!

Come on! Faster!

-Come on! -Quick!

Hurry up!

(BLEATING)

We've lost them.

(ENGINE BUZZING)

Listen!

-JAMIE: It's a plane! -It must have come to rescue us!

CHILDREN: Hey! Hey!

Help! Over here!

Down here!

Help! Save us!

Help! Here we are!

Help! Save us, please!

-Help! -He didn't see us.

Never mind, he'll see our fire at the cottage.

-Come on, let's get back there. -Yes, yes!

This is Pilot Fox to Red Base.

I've searched a wide area of sea,

in the area 01-02.

Negative.

I've made an extensive search of Monk's Island,

but there's no sign of the missing children.

I've only enough fuel for twenty minutes' flying duration,

and am returning to base.

Over now.

TOM: It's gone out!

-Oh! -Maybe he'll come back.

Why should he, now that he thinks there's no-one on the island?

No wonder it's gone out. It's soaked!

-Oh. -Oh, no.

Hey, look at this!

What rotten luck!

It must have collapsed, and just when the plane was near.

Unless someone pushed it?

And our anoraks, hidden behind here!

-Gosh, how did they get there? -I don't know.

Maybe it was the animals.

They nibble at buttons and things.

Suppose this is Monk's Island,

and suppose there really is a monk.

ANDY: What a load of rot! I don't believe in ghosts.

None of us believe in ghosts, Andy.

But I think this could be Monk's Island.

When we were chasing the goats, we covered most of it,

and we didn't see anyone.

Eli told us nobody ever goes to it,

so we may be stuck here for ever and ever,

just like Robinson Crusoe.

Even Robinson Crusoe had a man Friday on his island.

We'll all be ghosts if we don't have something to eat pretty soon.

Yes, let's get organised.

Jamie, see if you can find some more water.

-All right. -Jane and Andy, you scout around

for something to eat, and I'll get the fire going and dry these.

-Come on, Andy. -Okay.

JANE: This looks as though it used to be an old garden once.

There may be some vegetables that have seeded themselves.

-Come on, let's start looking. -Okay.

I've found some raspberries!

I've found some potatoes!

Gosh!

I've found a spring.

Good. Can you get some more?

Yes, but I'll have to find something else to carry it in.

Look in the cottage.

I've got this, okay?

All right.

We found lots of things to eat.

Potatoes, and a cabbage.

It's a bit muddy on the outside,

-but the middle should be okay. -Great!

Raspberries, and some mint.

Give me some potatoes, and I'll put them

in the hottest part of the fire.

ELI: Give me that chart.

We're here.

I wonder if they got anywhere near Monk's Island?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

No, they couldn't have gone that far out.

Anyway, plane was out there too.

It didn't see nothing, did it?

I'm not so sure.

Steer nor'-nor'-east.

Not bad.

What are we going to do next?

I think we should split up into two groups,

say, you and Jane, Andy and me,

and make a really thorough search of the whole island.

And, at the same time, we can look for more food.

Thank you.

-Bye! -See you later!

(SEAGULLS CRYING)

JANE: "In memory of K W Conden, aged two years,

"R Mansfield, aged 23 years,

"died April 1868."

JAMIE: Nobody's lived here since!

If only we could find some way to get off this island.

Or to send a message, to let everybody know where we are.

Poor Aunt Edna, she must be terribly worried.

Hey, look! That's ours, out of the boat.

And over there!

Your fishing line.

That gives me an idea.

See if you can find some straight pieces of driftwood.

What are you going to do?

I think I know how we can send a signal.

And get a big stone!

Right!

(SEAGULLS CRYING)

-Hit my knife while I hold it. -What's this for?

You'll see. Now, come on, give me a hand.

JANE: They're lovely apples.

JAMIE: Plenty for everyone.

Now look around, and see if you can see

-any rag that's been washed up. -Okay.

-ANDY: I couldn't find any. -TOM: Never mind.

ANDY: Won't you feel the cold, Skinny?

TOM: It's in a good cause.

I get it. A box kite!

But how will that help us to send a message?

See if you can find some tar on the beach, and I'll show you.

Okay.

(GOAT BLEATING)

-JANE: It's the goat! -JAMIE: And the kid!

JANE: Come on, quick! After them!

JAMIE: Catch 'em!

JANE: Okay.

(GOATS BLEATING)

Jane, help me get the kid!

(BLEATING)

Isn't it sweet!

What are we going to do with it?

It's too young to give us milk.

Take it back to the cottage.

Jane, you'd never eat it!

Of course not! But if we keep it tied up at the cottage,

perhaps its mother will come looking for it.

Then we can catch her. She'll give us milk.

TOM: It's lovely black tar.

-There! Now let's try it. -Okay.

TOM: Right, that's far enough.

-Are you ready? -Right!

Let it go!

-The line's broken! -Oh, no!

-That's funny. -What?

It looks as though it's been cut.

Don't be silly. It couldn't have been.

We've still got a bit of line.

Let's see if we can catch some fish for lunch.

-What'll we use for bait? -Limpets.

-Can I borrow your knife, then? -Yes.

Right.

-Can you get some string, please? -Oh, yes.

Thanks!

Jamie! You mustn't eat any more!

Why? We've got plenty.

They're cookers, and they're not ripe.

Here, go and get some more water.

And empty your pockets before you go.

Look, there's our boat.

Do you think we could mend it?

We could try, but it's pretty smashed up.

See if there's anything in the locker.

Not much of a survival kit, is it?

How do you think it got here?

Tide must have washed it up.

You just said the seaweed's the high water mark.

That's odd.

If the sea only comes halfway up the beach at high tide,

how did the boat get this far?

Someone must have dragged it up.

-Who, for instance? -The monk.

Oh, don't you start. I thought you didn't believe in ghosts.

Have you got some pencil and paper?

There's my diary. Why?

We could put a message in it.

Like they do in stories. Someone might pick it up.

Well, it's worth a try.

"The Robinsons are stranded...

"on... Monk's... Island. S... O... S."

-How's that? -Fine.

Well, as you said, it's worth a try.

Here come the others.

Hello! Any luck?

-(JANE AND JAMIE LAUGHING) -What's the matter?

Whatever's happened to your trousers?

Oh, we tried to make a kite with them.

Fancy playing games! No wonder you've been so long.

We weren't playing games.

Anyway, it was a jolly good kite. We painted an SOS message on it.

But the string broke, and it crashed into the sea.

Well, we got some cooking apples. What did you get?

We found our boat wrecked on the beach. Look!

-What good's that? -It's a distress signal.

I didn't know the Union Jack was a distress signal.

It is if it's upside down.

We can fly it from the top of the cottage.

We caught the kid.

-(BLEATING) -Well done!

We hope its mother will come looking for it.

Then we'll be able to catch her, too.

We'd better make a trap. A sort of stockade.

Come on, let's get started!

-Can I borrow your knife? -Right.

-Fine, can you get some more? -Right, okay.

Whatever's Jamie playing at? He's been ages.

Maybe he got lost. We'd better go and look for him.

We're just going to see what Jamie's up to.

-Okay. -Come on, Andy.

Jamie!

Jamie!

Jamie!

Jamie!

Jamie!

-Jamie! -Listen.

(GROANING)

It's coming from over there.

-What's the matter, Jamie? -(GROANING)

-Have you cut yourself? -It's... my stomach.

-Terrible... pain... -He looks really ill.

Suppose it's an appendicitis?

Come on, let's get him back to the cottage.

-Come on, take his legs. -Okay.

Put him on the sticks, like a stretcher.

-Ready? -Yes.

-Right. -(JAMIE GROANING)

Hurry.

-Whatever's happened? -Jamie's very ill.

He's got terrible pains. It could be appendicitis.

Where does it hurt you, Jamie?

In my stomach.

(LAUGHING) Ooh, that's not appendicitis!

-It's too many green apples. -Are you sure, Jane?

Of course I am. I saw him eat at least four.

I kept on telling him, but he wouldn't take any notice.

Whoo, that's a relief! Will you stay here with him

while Andy and I see if we've caught any fish for lunch?

-Right. -Come on, Andy.

TOM: Go on, Andy!

What's the matter?

The ghost!

That's no ghost!

ANDY: Well, if he isn't a ghost,

how do you disappear into thin air like that?

I don't know. Come on!

(SEAGULLS CRYING)

Hey! I'm sure that's our bottle.

It is, and the SOS message has gone,

and the top's screwed back on.

Someone must have taken it out.

Someone doesn't want us to be rescued.

And that someone must be the monk.

I don't think we'd better tell the others about this.

Or about seeing the monk. It'll only scare them more.

Come on.

-You keep a watch out, Andy. -Okay.

-We've got something. -Hooray!

Well, that's tonight's supper.

Come on, Jane. Build up the fire, and we'll have lunch.

Lunch? Supper, you mean.

Look at the sun. It's going to be evening soon. We've missed lunch.

Never mind. How are we going to cook these?

I saw something in the cottage that will help.

There. If you put it in the hottest part of the fire,

it cooks in a few minutes. I saw it done on television.

-Want some, Jamie? -(GROANING)

Right, lads.

A hot meal, a good night's rest, back here by five ready to go.

-Refuel by four-thirty. -Okay.

I reckon you ought to pack it in now, you know.

You're wasting our time.

Enough of that kind of talk, Jacob.

-No luck, then, Eli? -Afraid not, Arthur.

But there's still hope.

Did you see any strange craft while you were searching?

-What sort of craft? -A foreign vessel, maybe. Close inshore.

-Somewhat unusually in these waters. -No.

No, why do you ask?

Ah, it's this here escaped convict.

Seems he got this far, and then the trail gives out.

We think there's some crooked organisation

shipping men like him out of the country,

and using this harbour as a base.

Eli told you that we haven't seen anything strange at sea.

And I told you yesterday that I haven't seen

anyone strange round here.

Now what are we keeping on about it for, eh?

These folks are more likely in...

in South America now, innit?

Do you want your apples, Jamie?

-(WEAKLY) No, thanks. -Anyone else?

-No thanks. I'm too full up. -Me, too.

Jane, we're going to have to sleep in the cottage tonight.

Can you see if you can tidy it up a bit?

-All right. -Andy and I'll finish off the stockade.

Come on.

Come on, Jamie. Give me a hand.

You'll feel much better if you take your mind off it.

Okay.

It's a bit of a mess, isn't it?

Never mind. Now, the first thing we need is a broom.

But we haven't got one.

I saw something growing outside that'll do.

You put some more wood on the fire, while I go and fetch it.

Come on.

You collect up all these bits of wood,

and make a fire over there.

Right.

-It really works! -Of course it does.

There you are. One stockade.

-Not bad, is it? -No.

But how's the mother going to get in?

Oh, we'll have to leave the gate outside.

Mmm.

Let's go and see how the others are getting on.

-Gosh, that looks better! -Almost like home!

(RUSTLING)

(CLUCKING)

(ALL LAUGHING)

Well, here's breakfast.

-Ooh! -Oh, well caught!

-Come on. -Well done.

That was a close one!

Five! What a bit of luck.

I'm beginning to feel hungry again.

You'd better give your stomach a rest until the morning.

We've got the eggs now,

and if we catch a goat, we can have some milk as well.

(BLEATING)

(BLEATING)

-Night, twins. -TWINS: Good night.

-Night, Jane. -Good night.

Good night, everybody.

(SCRAPING)

(SCRAPING)

(COCKEREL CROWING)

I've caught the goat! I've caught the goat!

Come on, wake up! I've caught the goat!

Come on, twins, wake up! Come on!

I've caught her in the stockade! Quickly, Jane, come on!

Come on! Come on, twins, quickly!

I got her all by myself.

(BLEATING)

-Well done! -Not bad, eh?

Right, who's going to milk it?

That's an honour you can have, seeing as you caught it.

(TWINS LAUGHING)

You'd better hurry up, before the kid takes it all.

But I've never milked a goat in my life!

Nor have any of us. There's got to be a first time for everything,

so now is the time to learn.

Jamie, will you go and get him the billycan?

-All right. -Andy, will you get the fire going,

and boil some water?

I'll be in in a minute to put the eggs on.

Okay.

And can I borrow your watch, Skinny, to time them?

All right.

Here's the can.

Well, here goes.

Good luck.

TOM: Oh, come here, will you?

(GROANING)

(CAN CLATTERING)

Will you put those over there, please, Jamie?

All right.

-Boiling yet? -Just about.

Good. Um... can you see if you can find anything we can use to sit on?

Okay.

That's three...

I wonder why that one's floating?

It must be new-laid.

Let's have a look.

Oh, yeah!

New-laid eggs do float, don't they?

I don't know. I expect so.

-Bags I the new-laid one. -Greedy.

-I'm not! -You are!

-I'm not! -You are!

-I'm not! -You are!

Look, you two, stop it!

We've got work to do. Now, get on with it!

-It's all your fault. -It's not.

-Take that. -You bully!

There you are. I've left some for you.

I think they're done now.

I've hard-boiled them, as we haven't got any spoons.

Here you are! Milk's up!

-You managed it, then? -Oh, it's easy when you know how.

Gosh, am I looking forward to this yummy new-laid egg!

-Which one's mine? -This one.

-Oh! -(BLOWING)

-Eeeurgh! -CHILDREN: Eeeurgh!

-Phew, the smell! -Oh, golly!

Oh, the smell!

That's the one that floated when I put it in the water.

Andy grabbed it because he thought it was a fresh egg.

That'll teach you, Andy!

Didn't you know that, when an egg floats,

that's the sign that it's bad?

Bad? Then I burned my fingers for nothing!

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

ANDY: That'll teach you to be greedy.

(BLEATING)

(GOATS BLEATING)

Our distress signal's still flying.

Mmm, what with that, and the fire as well,

if anyone comes looking for us, they're sure to see something's up.

-Where's Andy? -I don't know.

Perhaps he's gone down to the beach,

to see if we've caught any fish with the line we set last night.

Let's go and see, then.

Morning, Jacob.

Can't go on and on, you know, Eli.

I got my living to think about.

Now, look here. We got a big area to search.

We may end up near Monk's Island. You know those waters.

Yeah, well, you can save yourself the trouble, can't you?

Beause we're not going to find 'em out there, you know.

All the same, I'd like you to come along, Jacob.

(SEAGULLS CRYING)

TOM: There's no sign of Andy.

No, he's not been here.

Fabulous! That takes care of lunch.

Hey, you two! Come and have a look at this!

JANE: Man Friday again.

-The monk, more like it. -Are there any more footprints?

No, only these. And they go into the rocks.

Well, it means one thing for certain.

There's someone else on this island besides us.

Andy and I saw the monk yesterday evening.

He ran away when he saw us, and disappeared.

But I'm sure he's not a ghost.

Why ever didn't you tell us?

Was it him who put the fire out, do you think?

Well, what with that and the boat hidden in the rocks,

and the message taken out of the bottle,

I've got a feeling it could have been him.

But why? I don't understand.

He doesn't want us to be rescued, for some reason.

Come on, let's get to the cottage, and see if Andy's back there.

(SEAGULLS CRYING)

-Andy! -Andy!

-Andy, where are you? -Andy!

-Andy! -Andy!

Andy!

Andy!

Andy!

No, he's not in here.

We'd better search the rest of the island.

I'll leave a note for him, in case he comes back while we're gone.

-I'll look in the shed. -Okay.

Skinny, you'll never guess what I found!

-That didn't take you long, Jamie. -I'm not Jamie, I'm Andy.

Oh, Andy, where have you been?

We've been searching the whole island for you!

-You may have got lost! -JAMIE: Where have you been?

ANDY: Give me half a chance, and I'll tell you!

(ENGINE BUZZING)

Well, whoever he is,

he's trying to stop us from being rescued,

so I think we ought to try and escape.

-How? -Well, to start with, there's the boat.

But it's smashed on the rocks!

We could try and mend it, couldn't we?

-All right. -All right.

If we get some wood from the shed,

-we could get the nails... -(THUMPING)

-What was that? -I don't know.

Oh, it's jammed! Something must be against it.

(PLANE ENGINE BUZZING)

Listen!

Let's try the windows. Quick! Quick!

-Andy, can you squeeze through? -I think so.

CHILDREN: Come on, Andy, before the plane goes!

Hurry up, Andy! Come on!

Come on! He'll save us!

CHILDREN: Help! We're here! Please! Over here! Help us!

Oh!

He must have seen the flag and the fire!

He's probably going back to report.

The fire!

It's out!

-Oh. -And the flag's gone!

-And so have the goats! -TOM: Right, that settles it.

We'll have to try and mend the boat and escape.

I'll see what there is in the way of tools in the outhouse.

Good.

It's horrible. The monk may be quite near us.

Probably watching and listening to every single word we say.

(CLATTERING)

These'll be useful. The saw's all right.

But I'll have to cut a handle for the hammer.

-And I brought some nails. -And we got some wood.

-Let's go, then. -Come on.

JAMIE: All together.

I'll push from the back.

Heave!

-Harder! -I'm pushing as hard as I can.

-There! -Right, then, let's turn it over.

JACOB: I reckon you should pack it in now.

ELI: Steer nor'-nor'-east.

(HAMMERING AND SAWING)

-Bit of a lash-up, isn't it? -Yes.

Trouble is, it's going to let all the water in.

We'll have to caulk all the joints.

-What's "caulk" mean? -It's filling in all the gaps

with oakum and tar to make them waterproof.

Oakum? That's bits of frayed rope, isn't it?

-Plenty of that around, but no tar. -No.

-TOM: Where are you going, Andy? -I've got an idea about the tar.

(SCRAPING)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

(LATCH CLICKING)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

What's the hurry, sonny?

Now you've discovered my little hide y-hole,

I think you'd better stick around for a while.

I said you weren't a ghost. Who are you?

Never you mind.

Why did you put out our fire, and pull down our flag,

and do all the things you could to stop us being rescued?

I couldn't have people searching all over the island,

poking their noses in everywhere.

But, after tonight, you can do what you want.

After tonight? What happens tonight?

I'm expecting a ship to take me off.

That's why I stopped your signal to the plane.

Why? It would have taken you off as well.

Yes, and taken me right back to the nick, where I came from.

You're an escaped prisoner.

Let's just say I didn't like where I was living,

and decided to take a holiday abroad.

What's going to happen to me?

Nothing!

So long as you don't interfere.

That's it. All we need now is some tar to slap over it.

That should make it watertight.

Andy said he'd got an idea about getting some tar.

-He's been gone a long time. -I hope he's all right.

We shouldn't have let him go off by himself.

You don't think he's met the monk again?

-I think we should see if he's okay. -Right.

Where are you going?

Just to take a look at the others.

I don't want anything to go wrong

before that ship arrives.

POLICEMAN: All right, mind your backs, now. Mind your backs.

I've just come down from the Coastguard Station.

They're in direct contact with the search boats.

Sorry, Miss Robinson. There's no news yet.

Oh, dear!

I think you'd best all go back to your houses.

Nothing more you can do down here.

Come on, now.

Come on.

Try not to worry too much, Miss Robinson.

Eli'll find them, all right.

Come on, now.

JACOB: I can't go on and on, Eli.

ELI: We'll just have to keep on looking, that's all.

-Come on, you two! -All right.

-Gotcha! Ha! -Ow! Ah!

MONK: How the blazes did you get away?

I don't know what you mean! Let go! You're hurting!

A couple of minutes ago, you were tied up in the cellar.

How did you get out?

JAMIE: We don't mean you any harm.

-Let go! -Not likely.

Back to the cottage with you, my boy!

(GROANING)

ANDY: Help! Skinny! Jane! Let me out! Help!

It's coming from down there somewhere.

ANDY: I'm down here! Help!

Help! Let me out!

There! That one! It sounds hollow.

-There must be a cellar. -ANDY: Help!

Underneath the stone! Help! Let me out!

Andy!

-Andy, can you hear us? -Andy!

-ANDY: It was the monk. -I know. We've seen him.

He's an escaped convict.

He's waiting here for a ship to take him abroad.

And he's not the first one, by the looks of this place.

I bet it's a regular halfway house for crooks on the run.

-Where's Jamie? -The monk's got him.

He thinks Jamie is you!

Quick, Andy, hide! They'll be here in a minute!

-What are you going to do? -Try and rescue Jamie!

Then I'll stay with you.

JANE: Don't you see? The monk doesn't know you exist.

He thinks you and Jamie are the same boy.

So you're more useful in keeping clear for the moment.

You're going to keep me as a surprise, is that it?

Yes! Now, push off!

JAMIE: Help! Let me go! Help!

No, let me go!

Help! No!

-Let me go! Let me go! -MONK: I've had enough trouble with you.

I'll make sure I... Ah!

-You little devil! -Run for it, Jamie!

Let them go! Let them go!

Gotcha!

Let us go! Let go!

Let me go!

Hey, put me down! Let me go!

Let me go!

JANE: Help!

That's better.

Don't make trouble, and you'll come to no harm.

I'm off this evening. After that, you can do as you like.

Use my knife.

(DOOR SLAMMING)

-He's coming back! -(SCRAPING)

He's here!

But, I thought...

Just a minute!

Just a minute!

-How many of you are there? -Just him.

We'll see about that. Gimme that!

Now, sit down!

Now, just put temptation out of your way.

And now, we'll just see how many Robinson Crusoes

there are on this island!

TOM: Come on, Andy. Hurry up!

-Help! -Come on, hurry up, Andy!

Quick, untie us!

We don't want him coming back and him finding you. Come on!

-Quick! -Quickly, hurry up!

-Undo us! Come on! Quick! -There's no time to waste!

Eli, there's something floating off the port bow!

It's a life jacket!

ELI: Let me see it.

Looks like one the children were wearing.

-Seems bad, then, dunnit? -I'm afraid it does.

Very bad.

Looks as if they went down.

Yeah. The point is, where?

Now, we're here.

Where's the wind been coming from these last few days?

-Easterly most of the time, ha'nit? -Right.

So the life jacket must have gone into the sea

somewhere along this line.

How far along depends how long ago it happened.

But if those kids lost the life jacket the first night they were missing,

must have been about here.

Ah, no, no, no.

I mean, they... they couldn't have gone out to Monk's Island, could they?

What's the matter with you, Jacob? It's not the first time you've said that.

Why don't you want to go to Monk's Island?

(LAUGHING) There's no special reason, is there?

I mean... I...

Just that I think it'll be a waste of all our time, that's all.

-Is it? -Yeah! I mean...

Why should I want to stop you going to Monk's Island, eh?

That's what I want to know.

Anyway, I'll risk it being a waste of time.

We're rolling course to Monk's Island!

Quick! The other door! If you get caught, we're all done for!

MONK: So there are two of you!

Ah, let him go.

It's too late for any of you to stop me now.

It's a long way to Monk's Island, you know.

I know.

Zero hour!

My ship should be waiting to take me off,

if the organisation's done its job.

Time to give a signal from upstairs.

(GROANING)

(CLATTERING)

CHILDREN: Help! Save us!

(COUGHING) I can't breathe! I'm choking!

(SCREAMING)

-Help! Help! -Please help!

Look! Smoke!

It's coming from Monk's Island!

(CHILDREN SHOUTING)

TOM: Come on, untie us, Andy!

Help! Andy! Come on!

-Quickly. -Help!

Come on, you lot. Quickly!

Come on! Hurry!

-Wait for me! -Come on, Andy!

-(COUGHING) -TOM: Hurry up, I'm choking down here.

JANE: Come on, Skinny!

Where's the monk?

He must be still inside. Come on!

There he is!

We only just made it!

What...? What...? Where...? What happened?

You nearly killed us all, that's what happened.

-If it hadn't been for Andy... -The ship!

I was gonna signal the ship!

Can't we do something? He'll escape!

Good riddance!

I bet he's making for one of the other tunnels.

Come on, let's try and head him off.

(SEAGULLS CRYING)

He's coming!

(GROANING)

-Get him! -Get him!

-Get him! -Quick, pin him down!

Push him!

Keep him down! Sit on him!

-JANE: Eli! Eli! -Sit on him!

-Keep him down! -Eli!

Hello, me handsomes!

MONK: You promised! You brought me here!

You said a ship would take me off! It's all a trick!

Never seen this bloke before in me life.

I know your face now.

You're that escaped convict they've been looking for.

-And you brought him here, Jacob. -I... Eli, I... I can explain...

There's no need to explain to me.

You can both explain to the police when we get back.

Take 'em aboard!

TOM: We can tell you all about this man.

Well, never mind about him. You're all safe, that's all that matters.

Now, let's get some warm clothes on you,

and some food inside.

ANDY: I bet Aunt Edna will be pleased to see us.

-Hope she's got some bacon and eggs. -JANE: Yes!

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

JANE: Serve him right! He needed a bath, anyway!

ANDY: All aboard the Skylark!

JANE: Well, that's the end of the ghost of Monk's Island.
