Hello?

Wait a minute.

Hi.

Hi.

- What's your name? - Ralph.

You seen anything else? Houses or people, Ralph?

I heard someone, I think. But it could have been a pig.

I've seen the pigs too. Big apes, aren't they?

Well, they're not apes. Pigs.

I'm looking for water.

You're thirsty? I'm thirsty.

Those coconuts are good.

I'd like to bathe.

It's a glorious place, this island, but it is hot.

- Ah, I remember. - What?

Come on.

Are you all right?

Just been... ...going too fast.

Asthma.

What do I call you?

I don't care what you call me...

...as long as you don't call me what they used to call me.

- What was that? - Promise you won't laugh?

Yes.

- Piggy. - Like, Piggy? Piggy?

- Ralph... You said... - It is a funny name, though.

Not that funny.

Here.

Well, that was clever.

Follow the feeder streams. I've read about it.

It's ripping!

You didn't know how deep it was.

You could have hit your head.

Woohoo!

Aren't you coming in?

I don't swim.

I can't because of my asthma.

Sucks to your asthma!

I could swim when I was five.

My father taught me.

He's a petty officer first class in the Navy.

My mum and dad are dead.

I'll just paddle.

For now. And maybe before we leave, I can teach you.

- You'd teach me? - Of course.

It would be an honour.

Hurrah! Hurrah for you!

It's nice.

You rotter!

Take that!

What's that?

This is a start.

Auntie Joan's friend Samuel had one on his wall.

Conch, is it?

He'd blow it and we'd all laugh.

My auntie wouldn't let me

- because of my asthma. - ...your asthma.

He kind of spat. Said you blew from down here.

You try it, Ralph. Then the others will come.

- The others? - Anyone else with us.

That's a good idea. Or we could shout.

It doesn't work!

- It will. - It doesn't.

Try again. For me.

Please.

Wow.

Amazing!

Oh!

Ralph.

Ralph! Blow!

You think that will summon them?

Come to the man who breaks wind loudly!

Again!

Gosh!

Hello!

Blow it again. Make sure everyone hears.

Again!

Sam, Eric. Eric, Sam.

You're identical!

We noticed that, too.

Have you tried the fruit?

Perhaps we should get everyone water.

There's more little 'uns than I remember on the plane.

Perhaps we'd better tell people why we gathered them.

Oh, yes.

Ralph.

Attention! Over here!

Attention! Listen!

Blow the conch again.

- Please. - I'll blow it!

Attention! Over here!

Attention, everyone!

Ralph's made this meeting

to find out what we all know and decide what to do.

- Where are the grown-ups? - That's a good question.

Has anybody seen any grown-ups from the plane?

I don't know anything!

Who'll tell my mummy where we are?

- They'll be looking. - What we need to do

is get a sense of exactly what we know.

Now, if everyone can raise their hands

and talk us through anything they've seen...

Where's the man with the trumpet?

There is no man with a trumpet. Only me.

Isn't there a ship, then? Isn't there a man here?

No. We're having a meeting.

Come and join in.

Choir, stand still.

We need to be careful in this sun.

Over hot and you can boil on the inside.

What nonsense.

Simon's always throwing a faint.

He did it in Gib, and Addis,

and at Matins over the precentor.

Let him alone.

Were you all on the plane?

- There's more than I remember. - Yes, we were.

And now we're trying to find some order so we can work out

- exactly what we know. - You're talking too much.

Shut up, Fatty!

He's not Fatty.

His real name is Piggy.

- Oh, I like that. - He's right, though.

We do need to make some key decisions.

It seems to me we ought to have a chief.

More important is to find out exactly where we are.

A chief will decide that.

I can be chief.

I'm chapter chorister and head boy.

I can sing high C sharp.

- All those in favour of me... - I think we should have

more than one in consideration if a chief is to be decided.

I can't sing C sharp, but yes, I'd like to be chief.

Of course you would.

- A vote, then. - What's your name?

Jack.

All those who want Jack raise your hands.

All those who want Ralph...

That's not fair. They knew you already.

- They hardly knew me at all. - The vote's happened.

We can hardly have another.

Ralph is chief.

The choir belongs to you, of course.

We could be the army!

Or the hunters!

- Yeah! - Yes!

The leader of the hunters?

Yes, that'll do well.

All right, choir. Take off your togs.

- Yes! - Finally!

First thing we need to do

is find out exactly where we are.

Everybody must stay round here

and wait and listen for the conch.

A small group...

Jack, of course. You...

- Simon. - If you're fit enough.

He's the least fit.

You and me will climb and...

And we'll see what this place is.

You don't think there's anybody here, do you?

You think we're all alone.

Well, in that case, the important thing

is to think about the little 'uns.

Why should we care for the little 'uns, Piggy?

Because they can't care for themselves, Jack.

We need to think about food and shelter,

- and toilets, of course. - Toilets? We're on an island.

We don't know it's an island.

We're on a wizard island. Huh? Tropical, delightful.

And Piggy wants to talk about

how the little people use the privy.

We need to pick the best spot for a signal fire.

If there are grown-ups coming,

then they must be able to see us.

Of course there are grown-ups coming. My father's coming.

He's a petty officer, first class, in the Navy.

My father's a wing commander in the RAF.

I can't tell you what my father does,

but he's very important to the country.

- Well, that's quite a set. - Don't you see?

However brilliant your fathers are,

unless they have an extraordinary sense of smell

500 times that of a Bullmastiff,

they won't be able to find us.

I'd read that strip.

"Mastiff Man. He smells out any crime."

♪ Mastiff Man He's a massive man

♪ Mastive man! ♪

He'll smell out any crime.

- I like that. - Mastive Man!

- Mastive Man! - Mastive Man!

♪ Mastive Man He's a massive man

♪ Mastive Man... ♪

And his partner Pup.

Mine is winning! The green one.

You need to keep up!

Can't keep up.

Asthma.

If you don't want to be here...

I can hardly go back alone.

Look, it's not so hard. It actually gets easier.

You told them.

Ralph!

After I said I didn't want to be called Piggy.

Better Piggy than Fatty.

Ralph! You need to see this!

We're coming!

I picked you, didn't I? I picked you for the mission.

- You're lucky. - And you're lucky.

Because without me, he would be chief.

We'll find them all over the mountain.

They weren't in the passenger tube like we were.

We need to go tell the others.

They need to know it's just us.

- Do we bury him first? - No.

- Why not? - Because he made a mistake.

He must take responsibility.

Christian burial would be the wrong thing.

We could put him in the sea.

That's what they do in the Navy,

no matter how Christian someone is.

Yes.

Let's put him in the sea.

- I think we should bury him. - Let's vote.

All those in favour of a Navy burial?

Yes.

He'll like the sea.

Decided.

A simple quad carry will do it.

A quad needs four.

Oh! Wretched things.

And again.

We're not strong enough.

Says you.

I say that we bury him.

There's a faster way down.

That's certainly not Navy.

- Help me! - Or Christian.

Stop that!

No, no!

No!

It matters what one does and how one does it.

A better pilot, a better man

would not have made such a mistake.

In company with Christ

Who died and now lives

May they rejoice in your kingdom

Where all our tears are wiped away

Unite us together again in one family

To sing your praise

For ever and ever.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Look.

Look. They're all around.

You're so close!

Oh, you got it.

Oh, look at it! You got a mudskipper.

I know!

Hello!

He's all slimy.

- What is it? - I don't know.

It's coming from the trees.

What is it?

Attention! Attention!

We've been on the mountain. That mountain.

We saw water all around.

No houses, no boats,

no smoke, no footprints.

We're on an island and there's no people here.

Not quite no people.

No. Um, we saw the pilot.

He was dead.

Dead?

We think the others from that part of the plane

might be up there too.

We found bits of the plane and we can't be sure,

but we think all those that weren't in the passenger tube,

and that's all the grown-ups...

Well, they're all dead.

Listen, listen!

Listen. Listen!

The time for talking is when you're out of a meeting.

When the meeting's going on, no talking.

How boring. Like class or prep.

It's time for me to gather my army now, Ralph.

If we want to catch a pig, we've got to go now.

Bet you two marbles we catch a pig before the sun goes down.

Wait just a minute!

Jack! Wait just a minute, please.

I do like it when you say please.

Perhaps no-one speaks unless they're holding the conch.

What's a conch?

What I'm holding is the conch. So I'll start.

The important things are food...

- We're going to catch food! - ...and shelters...

- Sleep under the trees! - ...and toilets.

He's a talking duck.

He's got a point!

- Shush! - Listen to Piggy.

So I think we should choose three spots almost immediately.

One, the toilet that everyone uses.

Even the little 'uns.

Two, where the signal fire might be.

And three, where we'll build the huts.

Do you want the conch?

Why is he giving it to him?

Do we have time for this? Let's allocate jobs.

If they want to speak, we should let them.

Whisper it to me if you'd like.

He wants to know what you're going to do

about the snake thing.

- Ralph! - Sorry.

Sorry.

Tell us about the snake thing.

The beastie.

Now he says it was a beastie.

Beastie?

A big snake thing! He saw it. Tell them.

Where?

In the woods.

No, there is no beast. This is an island.

You only get beasts in big countries like Australia.

You have no need to worry.

I saw it.

And it'll come back tonight.

Why would anyone say this?

There's no way. There's no way there's an actual beast.

Ralph's right, of course. There's no beast.

But if there is, you have my word,

the hunters will find it and kill it.

- Yeah. - Now we're going to hunt pigs

and get meat for everybody,

and we're going to keep you all safe.

My father's in the Navy,

and he said there aren't any unknown islands left.

He says that the Queen has a big room full of maps,

and all the islands in the world are drawn there.

So the Queen's got a picture of this island,

and sooner or later, exploring these islands,

a ship will put in here.

It might even be my father's ship. So we will be rescued.

Well, I hope they're at least a week

so we can have a little fun first.

Fun is necessary, but let's divide ourselves.

We'll need a team to build a signal fire,

for which I propose at the top of the mountain.

The hunters will make the best signal fire.

Come on! Follow me.

No, no, look, we also need other teams

to build shelters and lavatories and...

Hunt the pig!

Kids.

"The Queen has a picture of this island."

On the wall above her toilet.

She stares at it night and day.

Go on.

Go on.

Why did you do that?

What?

You let it go. You should have closed in.

The pig was trapped in the creepers.

You lost your nerve is all.

But not to worry. There'll be others.

Take that back.

Take what back?

I did not lose my nerve.

I was choosing a place.

I was waiting for a moment to decide where to stab him.

Is that what you were doing?

I was trying to get sight of the throat.

You cut a pig's throat to let the blood out.

I'm not sure that's right.

Otherwise, you can't eat the meat.

That's why I needed you to close in. But you didn't.

So this is my fault?

Of course it is.

Liar!

- Take that back too. - I thought you were

a hunter. The little 'uns need that meat.

- I am a hunter. - You think that was hunting?

I was hunting, and you messed it up.

Is your father even a spy?

That's what you were implying, weren't you?

With your grand talk.

"I'm a hunter.

"My father's a spy."

Grand, grand chat.

He won't like you. Not after a while.

Your precious Ralph.

Crawlers like you are always appreciated for a few days.

Then they become irritating.

I won't tell anyone about the pig.

You have my word.

I shouldn't have said that about your father.

You won't tell anyone because it was your fault.

The Piggy that was scared of piggies.

Pathetic.

Now, we'd best get collecting firewood.

Don't you think?

The sky is darkening, and the beast is close at hand.

- One, two. - Hello.

- That's quite a... - Isn't it good?

It's rotten through, but it'll burn to high heaven.

Wacko.

There's plenty of bad wood down there.

Easier this side.

Sorry?

Easier climbing this side

than the other, where we found the pilot.

Help me out!

What were you singing?

Sorry?

Before the twins arrived. I was listening.

Why didn't you just say hello?

Oh, well, I thought you wouldn't sing if I did.

It's Groucho Marx.

Mr Henderson, who caretakes

for my auntie in her shop,

he taught me it.

Do you miss it? Home?

Of course I do.

You?

Not home.

I only went home for the long vacs.

I'm pretty good on my own.

Jack's the same.

We used to Christmas together, us and the housemaster.

Cold ham, carrots, sprouts, boiled potatoes.

Auntie Joan laid on a good spread at Christmas.

Will you teach me? The song?

- It's a silly song. - I know.

I heard. I liked it.

Can you see the coral reef?

Oh!

Yes.

It looks like a giant

that's bent down to make a chalk line around the island.

"Oh, no. I'll stop now. Lie down in the sea."

I can't see any other land.

You can't off England unless the light is right,

and France isn't so far away.

Help me!

Do it quickly!

Shelters and toilets. That's what you said, right?

And a source for water

that no-one is allowed to use for the toilet.

Because those little 'uns will go anywhere,

and we mustn't soil what we drink.

Drop it!

I intend to be a good chief.

What's your real name?

It's Nicholas.

My Auntie Joan calls me Nicky.

It suits you.

St Nicholas - gift-giver.

Also patron saint of sailors and repentant thieves.

Auntie Joan doesn't know that, but I've read about it.

Right, left, right, left, right!

Left, right, left, right.

I'm not sure we need all that wood.

Let them have a big fire tonight.

It'll make everyone feel better.

Heave! Heave! Heave!

Ho!

Heave, heave, ho!

And... kindling!

Chief, come, light the fire!

That's too much wood. It's all rotten.

Has anyone any matches?

Who has matches?

If we rub the sticks together...

You make a bow and then you spin the arrow.

- How does that work? - I'm not sure.

I saw it in a comic paper.

Flint. Has anyone any flint?

No, I don't.

Piggy's specs.

What?

Yes, that's it. Piggy's glasses.

Like how we used to kill ants at elevenses.

"Burning ants is very pants

"for they do not scream as they should do."

No, no, I can't see without them!

Piggy.

- No! - Your glasses.

Be careful! I need them.

Come on, now, be a chap.

No!

Ralph!

Yes! You did it!

- Yes! - Yes, Ralph.

Who'd have thought that burning ants after elevenses

would prove such useful training?

Whoa!

It's catching fast.

It's spreading quickly.

It's really giving off some heat.

Because all the wood is dried out and rotten.

It's spiffing stuff.

Ralph. If it pleases you, Chief,

the hunters will also be the fire-givers.

We will have charge of the signal fire.

You think you can handle both hunting and the fire?

We won't let you down, Chief.

We did it!

It's getting big. Must be the air.

It's the wood. It's the rotten wood.

Whoa!

Get back!

You've messed this up good and proper.

The signal's getting bigger, that's all.

The trees are too close. It'll spread.

It won't spread too far.

It's in the trees!

Eric, watch out!

What do we do?

- Where are you going? - Step back!

Run! It's spreading!

Can we stop it?

Firebreak. In the Great Fire of London

they made a firebreak.

We must chop these trees down to stop it.

Chop them with what?

Get down the mountain!

Where are the little 'uns?

They were pretty hot and bothered. Most of them

were lying down.

In the shade of the trees.

Hurry up!

Stay there.

Do what you're told and stay bloody there!

They're all asleep.

I don't know why it's not waking them up.

They're all asleep!

Help!

Come on!

Come on!

Wake up!

Wake up! Bring everyone here.

Jasper!

Look - you have your firebreak.

Sorry?

That half of the island. That side -

- it hasn't caught. - Yet.

It won't. I'm sure of it. The rocks are in the way.

I didn't...

You told me to make a register, but I didn't.

You're not sure they're all here?

Most. I think.

- I'm remembering by sight. - Who don't we have?

Who don't we have?

The little one with the birthmark

who talked about the beast.

Has anyone seen the little 'un with the birthmark on his face?

OK.

Has anyone seen the little 'un with the birthmark on his face?
