[soft music]

[birds chirping]

[intriguing music]

- Sorry, did I disturb you? - What are you doing?

- I'm trying to get us off this island. - Shh!

This is my first shipwreck.

Let me live in the moment.

Just experience it.

All right,

when you're done having your moment,

I could use your help.

- Really? - Yeah.

Just been in a shipwreck!

- I get why you hate boats. - I told you.

Never trust anything that isn't where you last parked it.

There. It's done.

What's done?

What's it look like?

[Tory] It's a big sign.

That way a plane flies over us, looks down, sees "Help".

And we get rescued.

Why are you so worried about being rescued?

This is a holiday beach, right? Look at it.

Could be.

[Tory] Maybe we landed on some billionaire's island.

There's nothing. It's just you and me.

Just us.

Starting to grasp the situation?

It's a nice day.

[Tory] Yeah.

We should find a way to get off this island.

- Okay but how? - Maybe we'll build a raft.

I'm not going out there in a raft.

A full-sized boat just broke, that's why we're here.

Anyway, that is the Pacific Ocean.

Every kind of deadly shark lives out there.

It's suicide.

And if we don't get eaten,

we won't last four days without water and we don't have any.

I say we get off this island.

Why are you panicking?

People like us don't just disappear or drop off the radar.

A transponder will go: "Oh no, Richard and that other bloke's missing."

We won't get left behind.

People like us don't get abandoned. Well, I won't be.

I'm Richard Hammond.

They'll find me.

[adventure music]

Mayday! Mayday!

[Richard] We're stranded here!

We're not going anywhere.

No one's coming for us.

- [bird screeching] - What's that?

Come on!

Richard!

Look! Tools. Woohoo!

We might be able to build something to get us rescued.

[Richard] When do we start drinking our own pee?

[Tory] Let's wait until we run out of water.

Tory, I'm sinking!

He has to learn to love it here...

I'm gonna get rescued! Oh no no no no!

Like I do.

We're never gonna get off this island.

The man's gone mad.

[screaming]

[Tory] I'm gonna kill you!

[Tory] We shouldn't be fighting!

This is war!

[Tory screaming]

Fire!

I'm just a man, but I'm holding a cannon!

Oh no!

Oh! Right in the lavatory!

[dramatic music]

Richard! Oh my God!

[Tory] Together, we can do anything.

3-2-1...

[screaming]

This could get us out of here!

We have a steam engine!

Come on, screw tank! Work with me!

Ow! Ow! God!

Are we nearly there yet?

[joyful music]

Yeah!

Yoo-hoo!

[Tory] Look at it!

- [Tory] Yeah! - [Richard] It's working!

It's amazing what you can do when you have time.

[upbeat music]

[suspenseful music]

State your name please.

My name is Tory Belleci, Ma'am.

Well, you know who I am.

Richard Hammond.

TV's Richard Hammond.

The Grand Tour?

"El Tour-o-so Grandioso?"

Tough crowd.

We rented a boat out of San Diego to go on a fishing trip.

Richard loves boats

and he said he'd done this tons of times.

I'd never been in a boat like that.

How was I to know there was a storm coming in?

The worst storm. I didn't think we'd survive.

We were lost. We were blown off course for hundreds of miles.

So then it got a bit choppy, there were some rocks,

a really huge bang,

then a lot more loud bangs,

then everything went a bit fuzzy.

And then, we woke up in paradise.

But you know, we're not your normal castaways.

We're TV hosts.

I was on a show for years, Mythbusters.

You have seen it?

The point is, we know stuff.

[cheerful music]

[Tory] So, I set up a shelter...

... covered my basics: I made a water trap,

got some yucca plants,

and some coconuts.

I mean, it was actually really easy.

I don't know why Bear Grylls makes a big deal of it.

Then we set up an SOS signal.

Three fires: the international sign of SOS.

I remembered that from cub scouts.

They'll definitely gonna see it.

How far away from the mainland could we be?

Exactly.

[cheerful music]

So after a couple of days,

we realised

no one was coming for us anytime soon.

We weren't going back out into those shark-infested waters,

so we realised...

Well...

... I realised, we were going to have to make the best of it.

That's when we started exploring the shoreline.

[light music]

You're not going to believe it!

Hurry up!

They are very excitable, Americans, aren't they?

But fair enough,

Tory had found something exciting.

[light music]

Two washed-up shipping containers.

Richard! Look!

We could only imagine what might be inside.

- There could be like a jet ski in here. - Or sun cream.

- Food. - Sunglasses!

Maybe water. Fresh water.

- Gin! - Yeah. Gin.

Nice designer shirts because I smell. Alright then.

- [Richard] Condoms. - Huh.

- They're not gonna be useful. - They might be.

I'm gonna keep 'em.

All right.

[Richard] This is like Christmas as a child.

It's the red bicycle, it's the red bicycle! Oh, it's a puzzle!

Or a pair of socks! Yeah, this is a bit upsetting.

It was so anti-climactic!

But on the bright side, the containers were a good place to sleep,

which we needed, because another storm rolled in.

[thunderstorm striking]

[wind blowing]

Yep, slept in a box.

But next morning, the storm had gone and left us something pretty life changing.

Wait.

What's all that?

[intriguing music]

[Tory] Fishing nets.

Hey look,

the barrels from the boat? - Yeah, could be.

- Look! - Life jacket.

There's a dinghy. The tyres.

Yep.

- Oh, wait a minute? - Richard.

- [Richard] That is... - It's the boat!

- [Richard] It's Betty! - It's Betty!

[cries of joy]

[Tory] We're saved! We're saved!

- That is it! - Oh my God!

Oh! She's come back.

All we gotta do is wait for the tide. It's that simple.

- Oh, my God. This is the best! - Wait!

Oh no.

[dramatic music]

[Tory sighing]

It's snapped.

I thought this was our chance.

We can't fix that, can we?

That is not going anywhere.

[soft music]

Mayday, mayday.

[Tory] Is anybody out there?

- I got terrible news. - What?

The radio doesn't work.

- Oh, God, this is awful. - I know it is awful.

These were polarized.

You worry about looking cool?

Richard, the boat is in pieces.

I'm stuck on a tropical island with no sunglasses.

UV rays.

Sight is a precious thing.

[Tory] Ah, gee!

My stuff's ruined.

Granted, this is sub-ideal,

but look at all this stuff we got now.

You're right. And between the two of us,

we might be able to build something to get us rescued.

Better yet, to get us off this island.

Or to make our lives better whilst we're on the island.

Sure.

The boat was full of really useful stuff

that could make island life more enjoyable.

So we decided to grab as much of it as we could

before another storm blew it all away again.

[light music]

- Richard! - What?

- Tools! - Oh yeah!

And they work!

- Woohoo! - You see?

Smiling already.

He's happy!

[upbeat music]

Oh, look at you!

Old,

leathery, peeling and out-of-shape.

I shall call you Clarkson, and you can be my friend.

[soft music]

We didn't know what would be useful to help us escape,

so I came up with a plan:

Strip the boat, take everything, even the big stuff.

Yeah, I remember that day.

It all got a bit... too much like hard work.

[light music]

- Ready Richard? - Yeah.

- Heave! - Ho!

[groaning in pain]

Oh!

- Heave! - Oh!

[groaning]

Oh, it's so heavy!

- Are you even pushing? - Yeah!

- OK let's try this again. Here we go. - Yeah.

Ready? Three, two...

one. Heave!

Whoa! Whoa! You've come off the logs and now it's...

Oh!

- What is it, anyway? - It's a boiler.

We don't need it, it's 30 degrees in the shade.

- I don't know. It might get cold. - It's not gonna get cold.

- What do you propose we do? - Hang on.

Why don't we make something to pull this with?

A car.

I'd tie this behind my car at home, and drag it along.

So you want to build a car to drag the rest of this stuff back...

to our beach. - We'll kill ourselves doing it by hand.

All right, if you think it'll work.

A car can do anything.

A car?

I know. Don't get me started.

It was a dumb idea but...

I couldn't stop him.

Right! I need an engine!

[Tory] So, while he was doing that,

I tried every SOS signal I could think of.

The most important thing was getting off the island.

[soft music]

Hey, Richard!

Would you stop doing that?

Is that a boat, there?

I can't see anything. I'm blinded.

Do you think boats are like budgies? They won't flock to a mirror.

Where'd you get that motor?

- Where? - Yeah.

- I went to the hardware store. - I didn't see that one.

- It was for pulling in lines. - Huh! You still on that car kick?

That is the heart of the beast.

- You dragged it here? - Yes.

By yourself?

No, I used the other bloke who's been with us.

I'm impressed.

I love what you've done with the workshop.

You'll love the car even more.

Welcome. Here it is. This is the chassis of my car.

You mean the frame.

- No. - It's a frame.

It's a chassis.

- A "tchassis". - No, "shassis".

"Sh-Sh" chassis.

[Tory] Why is it out of wood?

It's all I've got. And wood's good for this.

Can you do that by hand?

- I am doing it by hand. - No, the screw driver.

We shouldn't waste the batteries we have on your little project.

As I was saying, using wood because it's light,

lighter than you think for its strength, it doesn't rust.

It is a bit weak in actual flexion, some shear strength in there.

I've put triangulation pieces to transfer the loads into compression,

it's better and it will help hold everything against torsion.

Triangles are just brilliant. I love triangles.

Look at that. That is strength in that triangle.

So this is like the world's most overbuilt soapbox cart.

Come in my workshop and use terms like that is derogatory.

This... my friend, is a car.

If you could build a car, why wouldn't you build a boat?

Have you seen the size of the Pacific Ocean?

We could have been thousands of miles from land and I'm not...

I can't think of any boat builder, but I'm not one.

And anyway, what was the rush?

The island was nice and building cars is fun.

[dramatic music]

So these are my inner tubes.

Here we go.

Oh yeah!

I gotta give him credit, I mean the design was pretty good.

But when he started talking about speed...

that's when he lost his mind.

[light music]

Oh. Actual metal.

- Yeah, this is gonna be my rear axle. - Okay.

I've only got these two sprockets.

This one and that one. I've got a choice.

This is my engine.

- This one works out at about 1:1. - It's very fast.

- Yeah! - Yeah.

The only other one I have is this...

which works out at about 1:4 as a ratio.

So four rotations of this

returns one of that. - Right.

- It's a little slower, more torque. - Yeah.

- But slower. - Which...

Your question is which sprocket you want to go with.

- I want to develop this. - The logical choice

is the bigger sprocket. It's got more torque.

The whole point is to drag heavy objects from the boat

to our base camp.

If you're going with that? you're looking at speed.

Yeah, so if I go with this, I'm trading...

... torque for speed.

- Yeah. - But one of those things...

... is speed.

- The other one is just torque. - But we need torque

for this. We're towing heavy objects.

While you're having fun with your go kart,

I'm gonna do something to actually get us out of here.

What's wrong with you? Why can't you just enjoy yourself a bit?

Everything's all about escape, when we're having a nice time.

We need torque!

Speed!

I wasn't just standing around

watching a lunatic obsess over speed,

I was busy trying to find a way off the island.

[soft music]

[horn]

Oh yeah!

Oh my God.

Check out my ride!

You did it, Richard! You built a car!

- I did. - This is incredible.

Man, it feels so good to be in a car again. I got wheels.

- It's adorable. - Yeah! Brilliant!

- Oh my God. - It's good, isn't it.

- This is so cool. - Yep!

Is that a fin for the downforce?

These break wing-tip vortices, which you'd get over the edge without these,

thus making more effect of the downforce.

Found an old surfboard for the nose cone.

- [Tory] I love it! - Yeah.

I am actually impressed, but...

I don't think it's gonna work.

The steering is gonna be all over the place,

the gearing's completely wrong.

It's not gonna pull anything,

especially through the sand.

It has sidepipes.

You're criticizing a car with sidepipes.

You didn't strike me as that kind of man.

Listen...

You're criticizing a car with sidepipes!

Look at those babies!

[Tory] We're not gonna drag anything with this.

- So it's no good? - Yeah, it's not gonna work.

- Could you do better? - I know I could do better.

- Oh really? - Yep.

- Well, go on then. - All right.

- Do better. - I will.

- Do. - I will.

Do it.

I'm outta here.

Sayonara!

[light music]

[Tory] Once I threw that message in a bottle?

That was it.

I'd tried everything to get an SOS to the world.

After that, I realised it was time to get my hands dirty.

[upbeat music]

Ow! This razor is getting blunt.

What are you doing anyway?

- I'm welding. - Welding?

Yeah. You only need three batteries to make a stick welder.

I put them in series,

that way I get about thirty-six volts.

I found some sticks on the ship.

Then what I did is attach one electric end to the metal,

the other to my rod.

When I get it close to the metal, it creates an arc

which melts the steel and allows me to weld.

That's welding?

- Yeah. - Which you can do.

Would have been good to know. I've just built a car out of wood!

Yeah. You can't weld wood.

We can make stuff.

What is that?

My vehicle.

- Your what? - My vehicle?

Wait a minute.

So, you agree with me about building a car to pull the stuff we need to save?

Well, I didn't agree with you until I saw your vehicle

and I knew it wasn't gonna work.

So I'm building one that will actually help us.

- Your is better than mine? - Way better.

Right. We'll sort this out... in the only way that matters.

- How's that? - I'll see you on the track.

Huh? All right.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- See you out there. - See you on the track.

Wait, we're on a desert island.

- There's no track. - I'll build one and I'll see you on it.

- Okay. - Whatever.

Going down, cowboy.

[light music]

It's simple.

If you wanna know who has the best vehicle, there is only one way to do it.

Which is..?

Have you really seen none of my TV shows?

A race! You have a race!

[dramatic music]

I'm pulling it to the start line because we could only salvage so much fuel,

and once it's gone... it's gone, Clarkson.

- What the hell is that? - That's Clarkson.

But what the hell is that?

This is my screw tank and you're screwed.

[American anthem]

How did you make it? Where did you get these?

[Tory] These are the intakes from the ship,

the engine is from the generator.

The hydraulic motors are from the net hoists.

- Wait until you see it in action. - How much does it weigh?

I have no idea. I'm sure a lot.

But the whole point of this is gonna be pulling power.

So at first I wanted to make some kind of tank tracks,

but I didn't have anything strong for my tracks.

So I ended up going... with helixes.

The spirally things

down the side? - They're not spirals,

they're helixes.

A helix is actually one of the greatest inventions.

It takes a small turning force

and turns into a large forward thrusting force.

Are you gonna tunnel your way off the island. Does it go like?

No, they allow me to push through the sand

and get across the finish line before you.

You know you're mad?

Just saying.

As soon as I saw the size of Tory's tank...

Oh.

- His tank? - Yeah.

... I knew it must weigh a ton.

The race was in the bag,

I was ready to rocket my way to victory.

[upbeat music]

Did you waste a life jacket to make a crash helmet?

I've got a history with these things. I'm wearing a helmet.

- You look like Luke Skywalker. - You're an amateur.

You don't giggle, now. This is serious.

Gold leader one to Luke. Stay on target!

- Stop being childish! - All right, let's do this.

- OK. - May the best man win.

That's me.

Start your engines.

I've gotta get out.

I thought you were the car racing guy?

I didn't build it for a Le Mans start.

[engine revving]

- You gonna go mow the lawn? - Shut up.

- [engine revving loudly] - Oh my God!

[screaming] OK. Well, when you're ready,

pull the rope and Clarkson

will start us.

[Tory] Here we go, on three,

two,

one.

Go!

And they're off!

You pulled Clarkson off!

Richard Hammond takes the lead.

[upbeat music]

[Richard] Oh, this is mine to win.

First corner coming up!

[Tory] And he's out of control!

[Richard screaming]

I only have limited steering!

Yoo-hoo!

[upbeat music]

[Richard] What's he doing? He's going bloody sideways!

That's not allowed.

Tory pulled out his secret weapon,

which is going side-to-side.

Oh no!

Tory seems to be stuck in a rut.

[Richard laughing] Don't discount me yet. Come on, old girl!

Come on, screw tank,

work with me!

What are you doing?

You're ruining the track!

Eat my dust, Richard!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

What's he done to the ground? He's turned it into a rally course!

The ride is not brilliant, I'll be honest.

Because there's no suspension.

Ground clearance is a problem.

And if you're following a screw tank, it's a nightmare.

Ow. Ow. God!

Oh-oh, here comes Richard Hammond.

He's catching up with Tory, but Tory's gonna block him.

And Richard Hammond takes the lead!

I just got to make this left.

Turn! Turn!

Turn, you... [beep]

Turn!

I can only go right, I can't do left.

No worries.

Richard Hammond has once again lost the track.

I'll try to steer my way back round.

[laughing] Eat it, Hammond!

Woohoo!

Come on! Come on!

Oh, God!

Richard Hammond seems to be having technical difficulties.

Damn!

[Richard] Come on!

Richard Hammond might be out of the race.

Start, damn you!

I feel victory coming!

Please!

Please!

I can see the finish line!

This is your last chance!

This is it! Last chance ever!

And then I destroy you.

[motor revving] Good. Well, wait for me,

you bloody idiot, we got to go together or it doesn't count!

[laughing] Yes!

This isn't a race if I'm not in you!

Don't hit the barrels.

Oh, come back, damn you!

Here we go! Here's the finish.

And Tory Belleci has crossed the line!

- No! - Victory!

No!

Woohoo!

Damn you!

[Tory laughing]

I told you you'd have a problem with that steering!

He's bloody won!

The finish line's over here.

- Woohoo! I win. - What did you win?

Ha! Your stupid race.

What's a race got to do with anything we built these for?

These aren't designed for speed, they're for pulling stuff.

So we've had our fun

which is a waste of time and childish and immature, but OK.

You're feeling better. Good. Now let's test them.

We built these for moving stuff that we can't move by hand. What we need...

... is a drag race.

Richard, this whole race idea was yours.

- Yeah, whatever. - I said...

- I said that in the beginning! - Let's go!

- Drag race. Come on. - All right, you're on.

So you waste your whole time racing each other?

No.

No, I just needed to quickly humiliate Tory's stupid tortoise tank

so I set up a load pulling test

with some heavy stuff and two sledges.

[upbeat music]

This was your idea. Just remember that.

OK.

If we're ready... Start your engine

[engine revving]

Three, two, one, go!

[upbeat music]

Come on!

Do you wanna push?

Goddammit, are you no good at anything?

[laughing]

Woohoo!

Almost there!

Yes!

Victory is mine!

Ours! We made something that works! That is gonna save our lives.

Aha! We're good.

That is gonna pull everything we need.

- Hold on a minute. - We've done it.

Your car's still there.

Yeah, and this could pull that as well.

We have done it. Yeah?

- Gosh. - This is good. We've done it.

We are winners.

- We made something amazing! - You just won't let me win!

Being a sore loser is one thing.

But trying to take credit for my screw tank?

The nerve of this guy!

[upbeat music]

This is brilliant!

Oh yeah!

Woohoo!

[laughing]

And you were angry about this?

No. No.

No.

Yes.

[upbeat music]

We invented something to shift all the salvaged supplies

from the boat wreck to the camp.

It was brilliant.

Although not necessarily the quickest.

[light music]

There in a second!

Hurry up!

Here I come!

Full throttle!

I'm on my way!

Hurry up, Richard!

Nearly there!

Here I come!

Let's enjoy for the first time in a long time, a nice sit down.

- That is better. - Oh yeah.

Can I just say,

a nice sit down

is the single best thing life can afford a chap.

You're right.

Name any activity in life that can't be enhanced

by breaking off and saying: "This is great, Angelina.

I'm gonna break off for a while and have a nice sit down."

That said,

I'm starving.

- Yeah. - I'm hungry. We could sit down and eat.

How'd you fancy another of our favourite game of can roulette?

All right.

Look away.

I go... that one.

- There you go. - All right.

This is already so much better.

- Maybe it's sardines. - Sitting down...

I got beans! Oh!

I got some kind of stew thing.

It's dog food.

[Tory] That's disgusting.

My dog likes it.

I got beans.

Oh yeah.

[retching]

Do you mind? I'm eating.

How did I get stuck with this can?

At this point, I'd say

things were going pretty well.

We had shipping containers for shelter.

We'd built our own cars out of scrap.

We were...

you know, living in a tropical paradise.

But oh no,

none of that was enough for Mr Misery Guts.

[intriguing music]

This is depressing. Something's off with this island.

This is all we could catch!

Oh, for crying out loud, it's an island.

It's the sea, there's fish in it. We'll catch some eventually.

- What the hell? - What?

Look, the camp!

What?

So now we're running?

I hate running on sand.

- [Richard] Everything's fallen over. - Fallen over?

- Someone's wrecked it! - Someone?

- Look at the footprints. - That's ours. We were running.

[Tory] No. Those are new.

No, they're ours. But I agree.

Something's done it. Something came out the woods: pig, maybe.

It's people.

- Rats. Big rats. - This is not good.

- This is not good at all. - Whoa!

- Everything's come off the sledge. - We're not alone.

It's like we had a party. Did we have one?

Oh no! Oh. Oh!

It's all right. Come on, my precious. There you go. Come on, babies.

- They left your autobiographies? -Yeah.

They must have good taste, then.

These are important, precious memories. Priceless.

- Richard. - Yeah?

They found us. Which means they're gonna be back.

We have to move camp. We can't stay here.

Bit drastic, mate. I've settled in.

Gotta move to higher ground.

Yeah, we're on a beach. Pick the nearest mountain.

It's a beach. It's all flat.

- What do you suggest? - Tell you what,

we're good at building stuff. - Yeah.

We've built a tank.

Right.

Yeah, well, why don't we build a house on legs

on the beach with a sea view. Like your house in Malibu.

I don't have a house in Malibu.

You do. You've all got 'em.

No.

We'll build a bigger, better one. Come on.

- Put that down. Let's go. - All right.

- I really don't own a house in Malibu. - Make it beautiful!

Wild boar. That's probably what it was.

Very grumpy wild boar.

Not bogeymen. That was just in Tory's brain.

He still wasn't up for building a giant treehouse.

I mean? come on, it's every schoolboy's dream!

Schoolboys.

[light music]

[Tory] So, we started building straight away.

Gathering all the debris,

salvage wood and bamboo we could find.

We used Richard's triangular framework

to make the structure strong as possible.

[upbeat music]

Once we drained all the power tools,

we carried on by hand.

[upbeat music]

The whole build took six weeks!

Six weeks of us stuck on that island.

The only upside is, by the time it was done,

it was awesome.

I don't know about you, Richard, but I am impressed.

It's amazing what you can do when you have time.

Yeah, it's good.

[orchestral music]

There is scope to go bigger in the future.

Good thing is we've now got a home

that we can improve. Americans love doing home improvements.

Keep you happy. You got something to be proud of.

- You know? - That's awesome.

- We can be proud of ourselves. - Yep.

- I feel good. - Yucca chip?

[light music]

- They're French fries, Richard. - It's chip.

We've been through this.

[light music]

After all that work, you would think Tory might be happy.

But oh no.

I was starting to feel pretty good about the island life.

But then there was the sail incident.

[dramatic music]

[Tory] We took a trip to the boat to see if there was

any useful salvage.

Where's the sail?

- [Richard] What? - The sail. Where is it?

The sail?

Yeah. The big thing

that was over here.

- The roof? - Yeah.

I don't have it.

- Sorry? - I don't have it.

- Where'd it go? - You got it?

- No, I don't have it. - It's gone.

- What do you mean it's gone? - Do we need this pipe?

What do you mean by gone?

It's not there. That's what I mean. I don't know.

I tied it here.

It's blown away. It's a sail.

Do you want this pipe? I'm gonna take it.

There is no way that sail blew off these sticks. I tied them securely.

Well, it's a sail. They're tricky. They tend to...

I dunno, sail.

- Oh look. - [Tory] I don't know, man.

You know what, if you see a sail thief,

you can film on that. It's got a camera in its face. There you go.

Catch them in the act.

Hey, it works.

This is Tory Belleci, but you probably knew that.

If anybody finds this camera,

you need to know what actually happened.

Richard Hammond took me on a fishing trip.

He crashed the boat on a deserted island. And we are stuck here.

And we might not be alone.

If anyone finds this, please...

tell my family I love them.

Yeah, come and see our cool tree house.

Come on, show them. I want to show it off.

I want to go home.

Well, we're going home. To our treehouse.

- I mean real home. - That is our real home.

Bring bunny.

Well after the whole sail thing, he became obsessed

that we weren't alone.

It became a real problem

for me.

[soft music]

Richard, you decent?

Richard. Richard.

That's how to tell a story. What?

I don't mean to be a downer,

but base camps just don't tear themselves apart.

Sails don't magically disappear. I mean...

What if somebody is here on the island with us?

Tory, you are killing my buzz here.

Look at what we've got going on.

Look at this. Listen to the sea.

Listen to the parrots.

- We've got a fantastic thing going on. - But I just feel like...

we need to come up with a plan in case? - In case of what?

- There is somebody here. - There is somebody here. Me!

and you're ruining it for me.

Better be safe than sorry.

Oh, right. Okay.

As a side project,

I will build for you a security system... here.

At our house.

Feel better?

- Yeah, much better. - Good.

- Great. Can't wait. - Go to your room.

- Feel better already. - Good.

- Go feel better in your room. - Yeah. I feel comfy.

Thanks, Richard. Good talk.

That's why I made an anti-intruder system.

Not so much to protect us,

more to stop him moaning so I could have a nice time.

[intriguing music]

Hey, Richard. What's that?

Well... whoa!

Just be careful.

This is the security system I've built for you.

Oh, is this some kind of

predator net trap or something? -Yep.

Predator net trap something

was my mission statement when I was building this.

You can see where this is going.

Whoa! Just be very careful.

So cunningly and invisibly concealed beneath the sand here

is a large net gathered together at this point. This rope goes up there

to that pulley, which is up high

because along there next to it

is that counterweight. As that falls,

it'll accelerate and that'll accelerate all the more the net

and we'll catch whoever or whatever it is up there.

I've put enough weight in there that anything this side

of a thieving T-Rex will be gathered up in it

and suspended there for us to see we've caught them.

Err, does it work?

I should imagine so.

Did you test it?

- That's where you come in. - Okay, shall we use a stick and just?

We should test it on a live subject and who cares most about,

you know, invaders?

Oh, so you want me to actually be in it when we test it?

- Uhh! - So you gotta stand there.

- The trip wire's here. - OK.

Put your foot over it and stand there.

Now, let me just get into my position. Erm...

So the net under me is going to scoop me up?

- Yeah. - Richard, will I get hurt?

Probably not.

Look at it this way, if you are hurt...

then you'll feel even more secure because

whoever is trying to get you is going to be hurt.

That is not comforting.

It is. Totally is, mate. Come on. It is.

Close your eyes. There will be a lot of sand...

and pain.

OK, go on then.

Oh, this was such a dumb idea.

- All right. - Yeah.

- In three, two, one... - Wait a minute!

Before you do this,

can you impersonate whatever you think is going to attack us?

- Not now. - Walk how... to make sure it works!

This sucks.

Look, I'm not worried.

- Yeah. - Be more like me.

- OK, here we go. - Yeah.

- In three, two... - Wait a minute!

What?

Got anything in your pockets that might be useful to me?

This is torture.

- You hate me? - No. We're testing.

Observing is hard. I've got to focus.

In three, two,

one.

[shouts of joy]

- Look at that! It worked! - It worked, Richard! That was awesome!

- [engine revving] - What the hell is that?

Well, it's my alarm, I fitted it as an extra.

- What? - It's an alarm!

- I can't hear you! - It's brilliant!

Quite simple to make. You need a spinning rotor in the middle.

It spins inside a cylinder with holes around the outside.

When the rotor spins, centrifugal force forces the air out the holes.

That creates a pulsating wave of air,

which is sound.

You figured that out?

It's how World War II sirens worked.

I got no power, so it started with a rip cord.

The weight comes down, pulls the cord and spins it.

- Richard, that is so cool! - I know!

- But you're just a car guy. - No.

I can do stuff.

- You see? - Can you get me down now?

- Let you down? - Yes, please.

- I haven't fitted that. - Uh.

I hate heights.

Richard, let me down!

[soft music]

[Richard] Good night, Richard.

Good night, Richard. Good night, Richard.

Did you forget someone?

Oh, yeah. Good night, Clarkson.

[intriguing music]

Hello, darling. We're still here, obviously,

but you know? Things are looking up.

We built a house and an alarm system

with the net, so,

I don't know, I kind of feel safe finally.

We're doing everything we can to get rescued.

But, you know what? For the first time, I feel like tonight...

I'm going to get some good sleep.

I love you. I miss you.

I hope to see you soon. Goodnight.

[intriguing music]

[engine revving]

Richard! The alarm!

If anybody finds this, this is probably my last entry.

We are probably dead by now. They're here.

They're coming for us.

It's go time.

Richard! They're coming!

[Richard] They're coming! Who's coming?

- [Tory] I don't know! - Oh no!

- [Tory] Somebody's in the trap! - It works! Oh God, it works!

[Tory] Man your station!

- [Richard] Which is my station? - This is it!

- [Tory] I can feel it! - Clarkson, save me!

- [Tory] Hand me that oar! - Oh no, I can't find my shoes!

- [Tory] Hand me that oar! - That's not an oar!
