Fireman Sam (1987–2020): Season 9, Episode 7 - Troubled Waters - full transcript
THEME SONG: When he
hears that fire alarm,
Sam is always cool and calm.
If you're stuck,
give him a shout.
He'll be there to help you out.
So move aside, make way
for Fireman Sam. 'Cause
he's going to save the day.
Fireman Sam braves the call.
Sam is the hero next door.
SAM: Enjoy your day off, sir.
I'll do my best, Sam.
Now, will you make
sure that filing is
done properly while I'm away.
Don't worry, sir.
We've got all your instructions
back at the station.
Splendid, Sam.
Day off, here I come.
(TOGETHER) Hello, Uncle Sam!
Guess what, Station
Officer Steele,
we're having a day of fun.
-with Granddad Gareth.
I'm also having a
day of fun, and it all
starts with my "Bumper
Book of Travel Puzzles."
Yes.
(TOGETHER) Wow!
You can help me, if you like.
But we were going to ride
up front with Granddad.
SARAH: We did right up
front last week, James.
OK.
Let's do the puzzles then.
Right, kids.
Time to start the day of--
fun.
[GIGGLING]
SARAH: That's brilliant.
[GIGGLING]
All the reports
are in date order?
Check.
The oldest are at
the bottom, and they
are all stacked neatly?
Check.
There we are.
Done.
Done.
Done.
So what's next, sir?
The box has to be stored
in the office cupboard.
Ooh, I'll do it.
Wait!
Hold it from the bottom.
Not done, not
done, and not done.
STATION OFFICER
STEELE: Come on, kids.
This way for our day of fun.
Station Officer Steele,
the row boat you booked
is ready at the boathouse.
JAMES: Ooh, Granddad,
he's got a rowing boat.
Keep moving.
But Granddad, a boat
trip sounds amazing.
[SIGHING]
Moose, I don't suppose there's
a rowing boat for us, is there?
Oh, sorry.
I only got the one, eh.
Don't worry.
You can all join me.
(TOGETHER) Yay!
He had to book a
rowing boat, didn't he?
This was supposed to
be my day of fun too.
Oh, my name is Station
Officer Steele,
and I've got a rowing boat.
Just one more report to go.
Careful, Elvis.
Don't worry, Sam.
I won't slip!
Oh!
I think I'd better
get a new box.
And I'll get a mop.
SARAH: Station Officer Steele,
we've been rowing for ages,
and we haven't gone anywhere.
Nonsense.
We've gotten miles.
I can still see the boathouse.
It's these oars.
They're not working properly.
Let me have a go.
All right.
No.
You go to the left.
I'll go to the right.
Be careful, Station
Officer Steele.
Don't you worry.
I'm as sure footed
as a mountain-- oh!
[INAUDIBLE]
I was captain of the Ponti
Pandew Rowing Team, you know?
Were you, Granddad?
Wow.
Well, I'm a member of
the Ponti Pandew Bird Club,
and I spotted a pedigree
falcon early last week.
You did?
Where?
Can we see it?
Yes.
Of course.
That way.
Don't you worry.
I'll get us there in no time.
Granddad's the best.
Where are we, and
where's this falcon?
Maybe we should head back.
It's getting very dark.
No.
We can't head back.
I've still got lots of fun ideas
like ooh, I know a secret cave.
Well, I know a secret lagoon.
And I know a
lovely picnic area.
I know a great fishing spot.
Do either of you know what
that whooshing sound is?
It's the waterfall.
And we're heading
straight for it.
(TOGETHER) Oh!
What the grizzlies?
The rowboat should
be back by now.
Station Officer Steele!
Gareth!
Something's not right.
I'd been a call Fireman Sam.
There we are.
Finished again.
[ALARM SOUNDS]
- An emergency!
- Oh.
Sorry.
Station Officer Steele,
Gareth, Sarah, and James
are missing on the river.
And it's getting dark.
We'd better take Sutton.
[ALARM SOUNDS]
I can't keep rowing
against the current.
We're going to drop over
the edge of the waterfall.
Look, if I could
get that branch,
I can stop the boat from moving.
I'll help you.
Ready.
Now.
Don't you worry,
Gareth, I've got you.
I don't know how
long I can hold on.
They took the
boat down stream.
OK.
Penny, launch Sutton
in that direction.
It will find Steele
in the others
by sensing their body heat.
Elvis, I need you to
direct me through the dark.
OK, Sam.
Sutton's found them.
But look, the boat is right
next to the waterfall.
Sam needs to hurry.
Come in, Sam.
The rowing boat is at
the top of the waterfall.
You'll need to head 200
metres north, Sam, and quick.
On my way.
Ooh.
It just snapped.
(TOGETHER) It's Uncle Sam!
Gareth, I need you to tie the
end of the rope to the boat.
Ah!
We're going to fall.
(TOGETHER) Yow!
SAM: You can bring Sutton in.
Everyone is safe.
I'm sorry.
I wanted to be fun, but it
led us to dangerous waters.
And I'm sorry too.
Next time, don't go
too far, and always
check where you're rowing.
Oh, we will, Sam.
We won't make
that mistake again.
And are you too all right?
Well, it did get a
bit scary, Uncle Sam.
But we did have
quite a lot of fun
with Station Officer
Steele and Granddad.
Did you hear that, Penny?
Station Officer Steele was fun.
Maybe he won't be
cross that I got
his reports soggy and messy.
Cridington, you got my
reports soggy and messy?
Come on, everyone.
Let's get back and
finish the filing.
Not you, Cridington.
You can explain what
you've done to my reports.
Ooh.
