Come 'ere!

Why, you...!

There's no way out. Come to nice old Mildeye.

Come on.

Gotcha!

Let's go walkies.

— He got got, Ditch.
— Serves him right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He will escape, won't he, Mother?

Spiller! What on earth are you doing here?

— I was just about to rescue you.
— Thanks. If I'd known, I'd have waited.

Hello, boy.

You're going to make me a fortune, you are.
I can see it now.

"Mildeye's Midgets. Admission — one shilling."

Calls for a drink, this does.

Morning, Mr Mildeye.

— Morning, missus.
— Bit early for that, isn't it?

Yeah. It's for me back.

It's good stuff. I ought to know, I make it.

Did you follow the boy this morning?

Yeah. I followed 'im.

Where did he go?

Well?

Round them old badger setts
up by Parkin's Wood.

Oh. And what happened then?

He had a look round
and then headed back to Firbank.

— What did you do?
— I came back 'ere.

— You're lying.
— Ah...

What's in that bag?

Nothin'.

— Open it, then.
- What's the point? There's nothin' in it.

You've caught them, haven't you?

They were in that badger sett.
You were going to keep them for yourself!

I only got one. I was going to give you a surprise.

— One?
— Yeah. He was a lively beggar.

Took quite a lot of catching. I'll show yer.

Where are you?

— He's gone!
— Gone?

Look!

You fool! How could you be so stupid?

He'll go straight back and warn the others.
They'll all have gone by now!

If you'd come to me instead of trying to cheat,
this would never have happened!

— 'Ere, you still owe me half a crown.
— Rubbish!

Old witch!

Spiller, slow down a bit.

— Where have you been all this time?
— Out and about.

— Anywhere in particular?
— Here and there.

I don't know why I bother.

Little Fordham.

Little Fordham? Where's that? Or shouldn't I ask?

— It's downriver.
— I see.

— I'll take you there. Safe as houses there.
— I'd want it safer than houses.

— (THUDDING)
— Human Bean.

Running. Quick.

I don't believe it!

George! George! Down here!

— Mr Pod!
— Mr Clock.

Oh, yes. Clock. Sorry.
How's Arrietty and Mrs Clock?

We're all fine. Leastways, we were.

How did you get out of Mildeye's bag?

— How did you know?
— I've just come from his camp.

— Get in my pocket.
— What?

Get in. I'll take you back to the cottage.
They'll still be looking for you.

— They?
— Mrs Driver and Mildeye.

They've formed a sort of plot.
Come on. Come on, Spiller.

— Shall I wait?
— No. We won't be leaving today anyway.

— Can't I see Arrietty?
— Not now.

— When are you going to leave?
— In the morning.

Will you leave the window open a touch?

— Can I come back, then?
— I suppose so.

— Where are you going?
— I don't know.

Oh. See you tomorrow, then.

Bye, Spiller.

Come on. They'll be sick with worry.

I warned you what would happen.
I told Pod not to go borrowing.

He's not gone borrowing.
The house is empty. He's gone to find a way out.

We're going to rescue him, aren't we, Mother?

You'll both get caught!

— We'll go with them, Mother.
— Won't we?

— You shouldn't.
— It's a terrible risk.

— I'll do anything to get him back.
— But you won't have to.

— Pod!
— Father!

Oh, Pod. What a relief for us all.

— Homily.
— Welcome home, Pod.

A lucky escape.

— Don't know how you did it.
— That's a fact.

— We thought the worst had happened.
— We did, my dear.

— How did you do it?
— Spiller found me.

— Spiller! Where is he?
— Outside somewhere.

— I want to know everything.
— We all do. Indeed we do.

I suppose a cup of tea's out of the question?

Oh, Pod.

Spiller?

Spiller?

Spiller?

Spiller!

Spiller, you made me jump!

- You might say hello.
— S'pose I might.

— Come in.
— That boy brought us here.

— What boy? You don't mean George?
— That's him.

It must be the holidays. Is he still here?

— No.
— I wish I'd seen him.

— Mildeye's out to get you.
— Mildeye? So where...?

We've got to emigrate.

— Spiller knows a place.
— Spiller?

Could all go there.

You've brought us nothing but trouble.

Is it our fault the Human Bean
fell off the ladder?

- I didn't say that. I said...
— We know, Lupy.

And I'm sure there's some truth in it,
but we can't stay in an empty cottage.

Especially if Mildeye thinks we're still here.

I know what you're saying, Pod, but I'm not
leaving. None of us are, are we, Hendreary?

— Well, Lupy, I think...
— That's settled, then.

You can go if you want to, Pod,
but we'll stick it out here.

My darling boys have got enough
to keep us going for a few weeks.

Can't live without water though, can you?

Excuse me.

Been turned off, hasn't it? No water.

For washing, drinking, cleaning.
Where's it going to come from?

Ditchley? ILrick?

No?

But you don't have to worry.
There's still water in the cottage.

— Isn't there, Homily?
— Oh, yes.

— Well, where is it, then?
— In the tank.

— Tank?
— Yes,

There's a tank in the roof full of water.

In the roof? Who told you that?

— That's daft.
— What would be the point?

— For the bath.
— The bath?

You know what a bath is?

The time has come for me to turn on a tap.

— I'm surprised you didn't know, Ditchley.
— That's what I call a real Borrower.

— Did you see Spiller?
— Yeah.

— I wish you wouldn't keep doing that.
— Look what I've...found.

Well done!

We might need your help, Spiller.

These stairs really take it out of me these days.
I don't know why.

Whatever you do, don't slip.
It happened to my Uncle Egbald.

He slid down the back, shot along
the bath and ended up at the plug hole.

— How did he get out?
— He climbed up the chain.

That's lucky. They've left the plug in.

— It stops spiders climbing up the pipe.
— Why do spiders do that?

Don't know. It's one of life's mysteries.
Like where Human Beans get their food from.

All right.

There we are. The tap.

You take that one, Spiller. I'll take this one.

You push, I'll pull, You ready?

Now.

— We're never gonna shift this.
— It's just a bit stiff. Ready? Now.

I was fine.

Course you were.

— What happens when it's full?
— That stops it overflowing.

Isn't it a long way to come for water?

No, not if they find a nice large knothole
on this floor. There's bound to be one.

It'll be right on their doorstep then.
Give Ditch and Ilrick something to do.

Then we won't owe them anything.

Homily, you know you're welcome to stay.

It's very kind of you, but I'd rather not.

— I'm sure we could manage.
— I don't think all of us could. Goodbye.

— You will take care?
— I will,

— Good luck, Pod.
— Thank you.

You're the one we have to thank. For the water.

— We'll keep our fingers crossed for you.
— We certainly will

Good Luck! Good borrowing!

Good riddance.

They've been gone for hours.

— Something's happened to them.
— No, it hasn't.

— You don't know it hasn't.
— You don't know it has.

I don't like sitting here. It's so exposed.

— Mother, the house is empty.
— I know, but it doesn't feel empty.

— Any luck? None at all?
— The wind must have jammed the window shut.

— We've looked everywhere.
— Could we climb the chimney?

We'd never survive the soot.
And how could we get off the roof?

We can't go back. I couldn't face Lupy.

We've got to. There is no way out.

— Yes, there is.
— Eggletina!

I'll show you.

All right, Eggletina. Lead the way.

— We've already looked in here.
— It's under that thing. A drain.

(HOMILY) A drain?

Ditchley and ILrick use it.
It comes out by the stream. It's their secret.

— Why didn't they tell us?
— Everything's a secret with them.

They do a lot of bad things.
They steal from other Borrowers.

— They stole from Spiller.
— That's how they get so much.

And they're bullies. They shut the door on you.

— I thought so.
— How could they?

— Come with us.
— I can't.

Mother needs me. She doesn't know
what Ditchley's really like.

— It would break her heart if she knew.
— You poor girl.

- I'd better be getting back.
— Eggletina.

You're a very, very brave girl.

Goodbye.

— Hello...
— Eggy.

What's that down there?

— Probably slime.
— Jellied soap.

I'm not wading through that. It smells awful

Come on. It's not deep.

Come on.

It's all right. It's not deep.

So you told them, did you?

Yes, I did. Somebody had to.

— That was silly, Eggy.
— Very silly.

But I'm not going to be cross with you this time
because it's given me a funny idea.

— Not one of your very funny ideas, Ditch?
— You'll laugh like a drain.

It's all right. You must. It's not deep.

(SQUELCHING)

I've been past this drain many times.
This comes out near my kettle.

— How long will it take?
— Um...

I don't... Couple of hours.

Let's get started.

One... Two...

Go!

Strong smell of tea leaves.

— All right?
— I can manage!

— It's only two days by boat.
— What is?

Little Fordham. Trouble is my boat only holds one.

Wait for me!

Arrietty! Uncle Pod!

(FAINT ECHOING VOICE)

— I thought I heard something.
— Come on, you two!

— Probably rats.
— Rats?

— Grab the...
— Tap.

— Give us a hand. Pull on this...
— Chain.

Bath time for the Clock family.

— What's so special about Little Fordham?
— You'll see.

— Why do you have to be so mysterious?
— Listen... Run!

— What?
— Run!
