Flipper (1964–1967): Season 2, Episode 3 - Dolphin in Pursuit: Part 2 - full transcript

The Ricks are stranded on a uninhabited island and Flipper are missing as the convicted killer, Al Bardeman, is getting further and further away. Can Flipper save them?

- That's a pretty big one.

You think that will be enough?

- I guess so, enough for a start anyway.

- Boy, am I thirsty.

I sure hope Dad gets here with some water.

- Yeah, me too.

- Sandy, even if a plane does see us,

we can't get rescued without
finding Flipper first.

- Well maybe Flipper's gone on home.

- We both know Flipper
better than that, Sandy.

He wouldn't go home if he
knew we were in trouble.



- Yeah, I know.

- Personally, Sandy, I'm not leaving

this island until I know Flipper's safe.

Even if I have to stay here all by myself.

- Well, Dad may have
something to say about that.

Look, why don't you take care of the fire?

I'll look for some more wood.

. Okay-

Flipper!

HEY, Sandy, it's Flipper!

Flipper, boy am I glad to see you.

Wait til everyone hears that you're back.

Where were you?

What?



Isn't it great?

Now we can get rescued.

- Hey, look at him.

Something must be wrong.

- There's something out
there he wants to show us.

Maybe he found the Launch!

- We better call Dad.

Dad!

- What is it, Flipper?

- Dad!

- Yeah, Sandy?

- Dad!

Hey, Dad!

Come here, hurry up!

' Okay!

What's the matter?

- Dad, look.

- Hello, Flipper.

Well, that's one less problem to solve.

- Look at him, Dad.

He wants you to go with him.

Maybe he found the Launch.

- It looks like he wants
me to do something.

- You want me to go with you, Dad?

- No, you stay here Sandy.

The man that took the
Launch is still aboard.

There might be trouble.

You stay here with Bud.

- Hurry back, Dad.

- Ride careful, huh?

- Flipper?

Flipper, let's go, Flipper.

Come on, take me out to the boat.

Here we go.

♫ We call him Flipper, Flipper,

♫ You'll see him smilin'

♫ Right from the start

♫ He'll play it smart

♫ Beware of Flipper, Flipper

♫ He's a such a lover

♫ You will discover

♫ When he steals your heart

- Ulla!

Ulla come on out of there.

You alright?

- I will be as soon as
I get some fresh air.

- Well, what are you doing
in there, what happened?

- Well I was on my way to the Bahamas.

- Yeah.

- Minding my own business.

When I saw your Launch
and I went to investigate.

And the next thing I knew,

some man stuffed me into the cabin.

And then he stole my submarine.

How did you get here?

- Friend of ours.

A friend of ours named Flipper.

He came out and towed me here.

- You know sometimes I wonder how

we all managed to get
along without that dolphin.

- Yeah, I'm with you.

I'm going to call the Coast Guard.

Did you get a good look at the guy?

- Medium height.

- Medium height.

- Dark.

- Dark.

- Frankly, I was too scared to notice.

- Alright.

WD9598 calling Coast
Guard, come in please.

WD9598 calling Coast
Guard, come in please.

- Thank you, Flipper.

You know, you're quite a guy.

- Roger, Coast Guard, out.

Well, I guess you were lucky, at that.

Coast Guard says the man
was probably Al Bardeman.

He escaped on the way to
the federal penitentiary.

He's wanted and dangerous.

He's probably on the way
to the Bahamas right now.

- In my submarine.

- Oh, we'll get it back.

The Coast Guard's
starting an all-out search

and they've notified the Bahamian police.

- Couldn't we go look, too?

I mean, after all, all my
worldly goods are on that sub.

I'm absolutely useless without it.

- I intend to.

But, only after I get you
back safely on the beach.

- On the beach!

Look, it's my submarine!

- Look, if we run into that
character Bardeman again

I don't want to have to
worry about you being hurt.

- Now, look, Porter, I
am going to go along.

- No, no you're not going along.

Now there's a line wrapped around

that propeller and as
soon as I get it freed

you're going straight back to the beach.

- Hey, Dad!

- That's a boy, up you go.

- Dad, are we glad to see you!

- Did you catch the thief?

- Ulla, what are you doing here?

- Where's your submarine?

- Dad, are you alright?

- Now wait a minute, wait a
minute, take it easy, you two.

I'm alright, Ulla's alright.

No, we didn't catch the thief.

He took Ulla's submarine and he's probably

on his way to the Bahamas right now.

Any more questions?

- Yeah, can we go after him?

- The Coast Guard's already started

the search and we're going to help them.

- Oh boy!

- Only, you're not going.

- Gee whiz, why?

- Same old reason.

- On account I'm so little, I suppose.

- Mmhmm, that's right.

- But, Dad, being marooned
on a desert island

makes a man grow up.

- Oh, it does, eh?

In all of six hours?

- After all, Bud, I'm going to need

a man to stay here to protect me.

- Well, okay.

- Alright, Bud, after you.

- We're taking Flipper
with us, aren't we Dad?

- Right, Sandy.

His sonar may help us find that sub.

Get my gun out from under the seat.

This might be a little help, too.

- Come on, Flipper, you're coming with us.

- Bud, douse that fire!

- Uh, Flipper, put out the fire!

- Well, what do you know?

It just seems there isn't
anything Flipper can't do.

- Well, there are one or
two things he can't do.

- Take good care of Ulla.

- Don't take any chances!

- Flipper's on the job.

- Turn on the underwater
TV, that might help.

You see anything at all?

- Nothing.

Where'd Flipper go?

- There he is.

- Well, where'd he go now?

- I don't know, I don't
see him on the screen.

- Look at Flipper, Dad,
I think he's found it.

- Yeah.

Alright keep your eye on
the TV, I'll follow him.

Well, I've lost him.

Do you see him?

- Yeah, there he is.

Just keep heading straight forward.

- Yeah.

- He's gone under again, Dad.

- Let's see if we can get him on here.

Yeah, there he is.

- There's the sub, Dad.

- The radio, Sandy.

WD9598 to WO3542, come in WO3542.

Bardeman, this is Ranger Ricks.

Now I know you read me on this frequency.

I'm ordering you to surface, Bardeman.

Bardeman, I'm ordering you to
surface, this is Ranger Ricks.

Do you read me?

- He's trying to get away, Dad.

- Bardeman.

Bardeman it's no use trying to get away,

we've got you on our
underwater television screen.

- We've lost him again, Dad.

- Yeah.

The trouble is he could get away

and use that coral as cover.

Bardeman, Bardeman I
know you're down there.

Now I've notified the Coast
Guard of your position

and if you try to land anywhere

in the Bahamas the police are waiting.

So you see, you've got no choice.

Bardeman, I'm going to
get you sooner or later.

So make it easy on
yourself and come up now.

- You think he's gotten away?

- I can't tell.

- Should I dive down and see?

- No, no.

If anybody dives down it'll be me.

Only I hate to take the
time in case he's gone.

Listen, do you think
Flipper could help us?

- We could try.

- Alright, call him.

- Flipper.

Flipper listen carefully,
this is important.

The submarine, is the
submarine down there?

There's your answer, Dad.

- Right.

- If only we had some kind of
a depth charge or something.

- Wait a minute.

Bardeman, are you listening to me?

Bardeman I have prepared a depth charge.

I'm going to drop it unless
you surface in 30 seconds.

Do you hear me?

Bardeman, you've got 15 seconds.

Bardeman, I'm counting from 10.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four

Three seconds Bardeman.

Two.

One.

- Alright, I'm coming up.

You got me, give me a few minutes

to get this thing upstairs.

- Alright, Bardeman, you're to proceed

32 degrees north, 28 degrees west.

And remember, Bardeman,
I'm right behind you.

- Good job, Flipper.

- There he is, he's surfacing now.

- Porter, look out!

- Hold it, I got the kid covered.

Now take the gun out
and throw it overboard.

Right now.

That's a good boy.

Now go over and get on that
radio and call the Coast Guard.

Tell them you found the sub.

Now!

- WD9598 calling Coast
Guard, come in please.

WD9598 calling Coast
Guard, come in please.

- Very good, you're a smart man.

- I'm smart enough to know you're

not going to get away with this.

- Uh, huh, well right now
I'm holding all the cards.

Now there's just one more
little thing I want you to do.

Go over there and take that radio apart

and start throwing it overboard.

Nice looking boy you got there.

What is that some kind of
trained fish you got there?

- That's a dolphin and he's our pet.

- Flipper get him!

- Where'd he go?

- What's going to happen to him, Dad?

- I don't know I suppose he'll get

the punishment he deserves.

- Just as long as we
don't ever see him again.

It's a shame he had to
spoil your camping trip.

- I don't think he spoiled
it, it was kind of fun.

- Fun?

- Well, I was sorta
scared there for a minute.

But I knew Dad would get him.

- Well, it did get us a
little excitement didn't it?

- I guess I had better go
back to my study of turtles.

At least I can try to understand them.

Men, never.

Not even you, Flipper!

♫ When you're feeling sad

♫ When you're feeling blue

♫ He'll make you glad

♫ Yes, that's what he'll do

♫ And what he can do

♫ You'll never believe

♫ For he's got tricks

♫ Up his sleeve

♫ Beware of Flipper, Flipper

♫ He's such a lover

♫ You will discover

♫ When he steals your heart
