The Enid Blyton Adventure Series (1996–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Ship of Adventure - full transcript
Bill and Allie prepare for their wedding the next day. They are going on a cruise round the channel islands for their honeymoon. Sir George phones. He orders Bill to drop everything and get on the trail of arch villain, Slade, who is potentially behind a coup. Allie is devastated. The kids suggest that they go on the cruise with her. She agrees. Bill gets to work and the rest of the family set sail. As they get used to the ship and meet Ingrid, their stewardess, Bill pores over his computer. A known associate of Slade called Igor was last seen at a museum stealing a Roman Galley in a bottle. Is there a connection? Slade is behind the theft. He is searching for an old map hidden on one of the four Galleys around the world. He has retrieved three. Nothing. He intends to search for the last one himself and find the map it contains which will lead him to the ancient treasure of Andrea. On the ship Lucy-Ann realizes that she has no present for Jack's birthday. Ingrid tells her of an old shop at the next port which has nautical memorabilia for sale. Lucy-Ann decides to try it. She finds an old Roman Galley in a bottle, dusty and neglected. Perfect. She leaves the shop as Slade and Igor arrive too late. Igor pretends to be sick and when Allie and the kids go to his aid, Slade steals the carrier bag it is in. Unfortunately it only contains parrot seed. Slade sends Igor off to follow the kids and devises his own strategy. Jack is thrilled with his presents. A computer scanner from Bill and the Galley from Lucy-Ann. On the galley's prow there is a strange writing. It looks like the writing on Ingrid's pendant. They ask her and she tells them it looks like Andrea. She relates the story of the treasure of Andrea. Next day at sea a helicopter lands on the ship with two new passengers. It is Slade disguised as Eppy, and his son Lucas. They meet the family. Lucas gives Jack a belated birthday present, a watch with a tracking device in it. That night Igor tries to steal the Galley as the boys sleep but Kiki scares them off and the bottle falls to the floor, smashing. When Jack picks it up he finds a crack in the Galley. Closer inspection reveals an old map. Could this be the map to Andrea's treasure? They decide to find out. Crouched on the broom cupboard next to their cabin, Igor listens, his ear pressed to a glass tumbler. In the morning Igor manages to bug the kids room. Slade listens on the receiver. Igor tries to steal the map from Jack but Slade intervenes and Igor is arrested as a stowaway. Slade must be a friend. Ingrid tells the kids about an old friend of hers who lives at the next port, Owen. She can't decipher the map but Owen might be able to help. Jack scans the map into his PC and discovers that the coastline matches the island they are to stop at the next day, Anders Isle. The kids are excited. Allie gets a telegram from home, Uncle Joss is ill. She has to fly home. Slade volunteers to keep and eye on the kids. Next day Allie leaves for home and the kids set off to find Owen, followed by Igor. Owen helps them decipher the writing and on their way back to the ship they evade the menacing Igor. In their cabin the girls discover a bug on their table light. The kids set a trap and discover Lucas and Slade are villains planning to buy zillions of guns with the treasure. They decide then and there to find the treasure for themselves and prevent Slade from acquiring it. Slade watches their movements on the tracker in his room. They'll catch up with them the next day. Allie arrives at Craggy Tops to find Uncle Joss hale and hearty. She realizes she's been tricked and gets Joss to run her back to the airport post haste. Bill is tracking down the fourth Galley last seen is the Channel Isles. Sir George suggest he should meet up with the family while looking into it. He jumps at the opportunity. The kids follow the map, the villains track the kids. Jack discovers the bug in his watch and uses it to decoy their pursuers. They find the treasure but the villains catch up with them following a trail of nuts that have fallen out of Lucy-Ann's rucksack. Bill arrives at the Ship and searches for clues as to the kids whereabouts. In a packed of developed film he recognizes Slade. The kids are in danger. Ingrid sends him to Owen. As he leaves the ship he meets up with Allie. The kids, including Lucas, have been tied up, the villains are getting away with the treasure. They manage to escape and with ingenuity, hold up the villains long enough for Bill and Allie to arrest them. Later in Owen's garden, Bill and Allie get married. Dinah and Philip have a new dad. No more adventures. The kids agree, there fingers crossed behind their backs.
- Leave them.
It's enough just to frighten them.
(bird cawing)
- There's some stairs here, come on.
- I don't like it here,
it doesn't feel right.
- It's like a strange church.
Listen.
- Where do we go?
(distant mumbling)
(loud screeching)
- Mom!
- While outside the sinful
red flesh is inflamed.
(bird squealing)
- Come on, Kiki.
- We have to stop Jack
before he gets into trouble.
(upbeat music)
♪ Whatever the danger,
you've gotta be strong ♪
♪ So trust in your heart ♪
♪ We can go on, be true ♪
♪ I'll always stand by you ♪
(intense music)
- Hurry.
- [Dinah] Keep up, Lucy-Ann
(yelping)
- [Jack] Are you alright?
- I think so.
- [Lucy-Ann] Good thing
it isn't a thorn bush.
(ominous music)
- Don't be stupid.
- Let it go, leave me alone.
- That won't even work, we've
got to find an easier way.
- Phillip's right, Jack, it's
silly to go in there again.
- I'm not leaving Kiki behind.
- I know that.
We have to find her together.
- Quickly, otherwise we're
going to get in trouble.
- I've made the men some supper.
- That will have to wait.
They're behind as it is thanks
to that idiot son of yours.
- They've gone.
- Shall we give it a try?
- They might come back.
- I'm going to risk it anyway.
- Come on.
- Must be crazy.
- There's not long to wait now.
The apocalypse approaches like
a dark cloud on the horizon,
searing sin from the face of the Earth.
Only those who've embraced
the way will be saved.
(glass clattering)
- Somebody's coming!
- Under here.
(intense music)
- Come on.
- [Phillip] Come on Jack,
we haven't got all night.
- Just a minute.
- Jack this is no time
for computers, come on.
- Something to do with radiation,
the radium count or something.
- Come on, Jack.
- Just a minute, this could be important.
- Margaret, Margaret.
- [Kiki] Let me out.
(squawking loudly)
- Kiki!
(door creaking)
He's got Kiki.
- [Dinah] Who has?
- Him.
Come on.
- [Phillip] Alright, but
we don't know where he is.
- It's alright, he's gone.
- Yeah, but where's he gone?
- [Dinah] He can't have just disappeared.
- Well he has.
- [Lucy-Ann] He went through here, look.
- It's Kiki's feather.
Lucy-Ann's right.
- [Dinah] Well how do we
get through there though?
- There must be a lever
or something to push.
- Well there's no leaver
that I can see, so lets push.
- [Lucy-Ann] This stone moves.
(scraping loudly)
- I'm not going through there.
- If Kiki's in there, I'm following.
- Come on, before it shuts
Jack, wait.
(scraping loudly)
(intense music)
- This must be the back of the picture.
- Yes, I think you're right.
- [Dinah] It's the library alright.
- See, there were eyes,
someone was looking at us.
- [Jack] Come on, that's done with now.
- [Lucy-Ann] That must
be the tape recorder.
(ominous music)
- Hear your precious son raving again?
- Yes.
He's stopped now.
- Where is he, is he in his room?
- No.
- Well where is he then?
- I don't know.
- You're lying.
- No.
- I told you he mustn't go down there.
- I can't stop him.
- Well I will.
- No!
No!
(gasping)
- What is it?
- Spider's web.
I know it's in my eyes,
but I can't stand it.
- Oh please wait, no, don't upset him.
Please, it's dangerous.
(distant yelling)
- Listen.
- [Phillip] What?
- Someone's behind us.
- Quickly, in here.
- I promise, I will
control him, I promise.
- What is this place?
- Looks like the castle dungeon.
- What fool left this open.
- [Dinah] What now?
- We follow them, they
might lead us to Kiki.
- Well I don't want to worry you,
but that might not be so easy.
- Why not, we just follow the tunnel.
- Great, if we could get out.
- What do you mean, Phillip?
- Well the door's shut and
the handle's not on our side.
- What?
- [Phillip] Well it's a dungeon, isn't it.
- Well push it.
- I've tried.
- I'm the smallest, maybe
I can fit my hand through.
Lift me up, Phillip.
It's no good, I can't reach.
We're trapped.
(cackling evilly)
- It's not safe in here.
- Look I told you he's crazy.
Gary, get out of the way.
Move it!
- Let me talk to him, let me talk to him.
Gary, Gary please listen.
- What's that you're sitting on?
- A box, what does it look like.
It's fastened.
- [Phillip] Watch out.
(wood clattering)
- [Jack] What are they?
- [Dinah] Looks like iron bars.
- Great, just what we need.
- No.
- [Lucy-Ann] Jack?
- That stuff in the computer
is about irradiating iron bars.
- [Dinah] Do you think that's them?
- Do you think they're irradiated?
- Wouldn't they have a yellow and black
danger sign on the box?
- [Jack] Maybe, maybe not.
- Well if they're radioactive,
the sooner we get out of here the better.
- Let me do it.
- No.
I got you into this mess.
- What does it feel like?
- You can't feel radiation, Lucy-Ann.
(metal clanging)
- Yes, I've done it.
- [Jack] Let's get out of here
(ominous music)
- [Lucy-Ann] What do we do now?
- Maybe this tunnel leads
us to where they've gone.
We might be safe in there as well.
- Let's go.
- [Dinah] Yuck, spiders.
- Come on, Dinah.
- No, no Phillip.
- Come on.
- No, I can't stand them.
No.
(screaming)
- [Lucy-Ann] It's alright
Dinah, don't move.
There you are.
- I can't, I can't.
- [Lucy-Ann] It's all gone.
- Come on, let's go.
- I'm not moving, I can't.
- We can't stay here.
- [Dinah] I'm going back.
- [Phillips] Not by yourself you're not.
- [Lucy-Ann] Turn around, Dinah.
- What are you doing?
- [Lucy-Ann] I'm gonna
tie this around your eyes.
It's alright, I'll guide you.
- Good idea.
- [Dinah] No!
- It's worth a try.
- [Lucy-Ann] I've got
you now, don't worry.
- Don't worry, she says.
- [Lucy-Ann] This way.
It's alright Dinah, there
are no spiders near you.
Okay go through, okay forward, forward.
- Please be patient, he's
not well, you know he's not.
Just as soon as we get the money,
I'll get him treated I promise you.
- If you can't keep him under control
there won't be any money for you.
- What do you mean?
- You heard, now get him upstairs.
- Are you saying you won't pay us?
- Just get him upstairs.
- He don't go up without that bird.
- Well let him take the
bird, nobody's stopping him.
- No, he wants to keep it down here.
He feels no one can take
it from him down here.
- Hold him, hold him.
- [Kiki] I'm a bird, I'm a bird.
- Well if he won't go,
then the bird can go and he'll follow.
(growling)
- Don't touch the bird!
(intense music)
- [Kiki] Keep away, keep away!
- Gary, Gary!
- [Bright] Don't!
No!
(yelling)
(crying)
- I don't like the look of this.
- Kiki's through there.
- [Lucy-Ann] It's alright now, Dinah.
- Press the button, Lucy-Ann.
- [Lucy-Ann] Not another one.
- Don't Lucy-Ann, that looks dangerous.
(grunting)
- Did I do that?
- Thanks Dinah.
- [Jack] Hurry up, press the button.
- Come on.
- Careful.
I don't like the look of that water.
- Neither do I.
This must be the radiation pool.
Let's get out of here.
- [Gary] Kiki, Kiki, Kiki.
(growling)
- What are you doing?
Leave him alone.
Gary!
- [Kiki] Jack, Jack!
(screaming)
- Run, run.
- [Elsie] Gary, no!
- Hurry.
- Give him Kiki, Jack.
- What?
- [Dinah] It's what he wants.
- [Jack] No.
- Jack you must.
- Sorry Kiki.
No!
(screaming)
- Kiki come back!
(dramatic music)
- Where'd he go?
- I don't know.
- What'll I do?
- Get help, get Bill quickly.
- But what about you?
- The best that you can
do for us is get Bill.
- Alright.
- [Jack] Hurry.
What'll we do?
- Go back?
- We don't know where he is.
- Oh Kiki, there you are.
Kiki.
(screaming)
(growling)
(laughing)
- Bill!
Bill!
Oh god I've had the most awful nightmare.
The kids are in danger,
I just know they are.
(intense music)
- [Allie] You've got a gun.
- [Bill] What?
- A gun.
- Yes I have.
- One more try.
- It's hopeless.
- Oh Kiki.
- Kiki, you're safe.
- Where's Lucy-Ann?
(sneezing)
(door creaking)
(gasping)
(whimpering)
(intense music)
- Oh please.
Somebody help me, help!
- Margaret.
Margaret, is it you?
- No.
I'm Lucy-Ann.
- Margaret, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
- So you should be, chasing
people, scaring them.
You should be ashamed.
- I am, I am ashamed,
I wanted to help you.
- If you want to help me just go away
and stop chasing people.
- Do you want to play hide and seek again?
- Hide and seek, yes, yes.
I'll go and hide and you count to 100
and then try and find me.
- Alright.
It's so good that I found
you again, Margaret.
- 100 now, no cheating.
- Children!
Phillip, Dinah!
Phillip!
(door rattling)
There's someone in there.
- Margaret.
- Aunt Allie, help, help!
(screaming)
- [Allie] Lucy-Ann, open the door!
- It's stuck.
Aunt Allie, help!
- Oh Lucy.
- Jack and Dinah and Phillip
are trapped, hurry this way!
In here.
- Someone's coming, come on.
- Jack this is the way back to the cabin.
- Have you got any better suggestions?
- It's this way, come on.
- Quick, hide.
(intense music)
(groaning)
- [Elsie] The bird, give him the bird.
- I won't.
- Let Kiki go, Jack, let her go.
- No!
- Don't harm him.
- Don't move, leave him.
- Gary, you said you were sorry,
you said you were ashamed, let him go.
- Lucy-Ann!
- Gary.
- Margaret.
- Let him go, please, for Margaret.
Please for me.
- I'm so sorry.
Leave me.
Please, you must leave
here, it isn't safe.
Don't follow me.
(somber music)
- Hearthole has found him.
No, no, no, alive.
An air pocket in the cave under the pool.
Using a bit of luck, you
can imagine their reaction.
They think they're first
to explore the cave,
and he thinks he's in purgatory.
Yes well must wind up,
I've got the PM to brief.
The Bright gang's in custody,
the decontamination unit
will finish at the castle
in a couple of weeks,
and that Gary chap's getting
the treatment he needs.
Yes, excellent outcome.
Glad the children are alright.
Bye Cunningham, duty calls.
Oh come on you beauty.
(yelping)
Oh dear, oh.
- They seem to have recovered quickly.
- Clean bill of health, no
clicks on the Geiger counter.
- The ministry tells me the castle's to be
decontaminated next month
so Elsie can move back in.
- Poor woman.
She wasn't evil, just misguided.
- Allie, I wanted to apologize
for being devious with you.
I promise, it will never happen again.
- It's alright, I understand.
Well I don't know what
you're all so happy about.
As far as I'm concerned
you're still in disgrace.
- They almost look as if
they mean it, don't they?
- Jack, Lucy-Ann, letter for you.
I mean it.
You got yourself into
real danger last night,
you must never do
anything like that again.
- Sorry Mum.
- Uncle's got measles,
he's got to stay in bed.
- That man is really unfortunate.
- It might be three weeks, he
says, before he can come back.
- What?
Will that be alright?
- Of course it is, I
think it's wonderful news.
Oh not that you uncle's got measles.
Ah, you know what I mean.
