The Enid Blyton Secret Series (1997–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - The Secret of Moon Castle - full transcript
Thaddeus reveals that his application to adopt Jack has been successful. The family take a short break in an Irish castle run by the eccentric Ma Moon and her mysterious son Fin Bar to celebrate. Charlotte proposes to Thaddeus - but the next day he has disappeared... Charlotte goes off in search of Thaddeus. Ruby finds herself a reluctant participant in Ma Moon and Fin Bar's quest; the search for eternal youth! The children notice that she has suddenly become full of energy, which they do not know is due to her being secretly given a potion by Ma Moon and Fin Bar.... The children encounter a ghostly figure on horse back and all are convinced that the castle is haunted. The children decide that someone is trying to scare them off. Charlotte finds Thaddeus - much to his annoyance. Jack and Laura find a secret passage which leads to the tower. They discover the laboratory where Ma Moon and Fin Bar have been conducting their tests. They soon discover that for all the hospitality, they are actually part of a dangerous experiment. All the ghostly events are designed to throw them off the scent. Interwoven with things that go bump in the night, a portrait which comes alive and the mischievous disappearance of the family's belongings, Thaddeus, Charlotte and the children finally foil the bizarre plans of Ma Moon and Fin Bar. In the midst of the celebrations (and much to their delight) Peggy, Mike, Laura and Jack discover that Thaddeus and Charlotte are to be married after all...

- Jack it's perfect!
The mad monk?
- I knew something was watching me.
- We sail with the tide!
- [Charlotte] Aye aye captain!
- That's all I need.
- What sort of chance
do you think we'll have?
- Not a lot.
- Come out, wherever you're hiding!
- [Jack] The boat's gone.

(chuckles)
- Well, well who have we here?
Well come on, introduce
yourselves, don't be shy.
- [Peggy] What are we going to do?
- There's nothing we can do except wait.
- Jack.
- [Jack] What?
- Over there.
Jack I think we'd better run for it.
- [Tom] Jack over here!
- It's all right, it's Tom.
- I've hidden your boat.
The law was sniffing around.
Come on, I'll show it to you.
- Thanks Tom, I owe you one.
(gentle piano music)
- [Tom] This way.
(ominous music)
- Who the devil's that?
Switch that light off!
- Aiming an offensive
weapon at a police officer.
I could put you inside
for quite some time.
- It's you, constable.
You gave me quite a scare.
- [Constable] So you
poke a gun in my face?
- Don't be daft.
Wasn't loaded.
- No, but I'll bet you've got
the cartridges in your pocket, right?
- Well, just to scare people.
- [Constable] Like that
old lamb you fitted?
- Yeah.
- Seems to me you're doing your best
to frighten those kids off,
not to get them back again.
That is, supposing they're still around.
- Eh, what's that supposed to mean?
- Well think about it.
The longer those kids are away,
the more it looks like
something's happened to them.
- Now look here--
- We mustn't forget that
your wife would inherit
all her brother's money.
- If you're suggesting--
- I'm suggesting that you and your wife
do everything in your power
to get those kids back again.
- [Laura] You took ages!
- Sorry, we got delayed.
- [Laura] Never mind that,
did you get the glasses?
- Here they are.
They weren't in the drawer like you said.
They were in the wardrobe.
- [Mike] Never mind that, we've
got someone you should meet.
(ominous music)
- What's going on?
- You'll see.
- Meet father Francis.
- And about time too.
I was wondering when we were
all going to bump into one another.
Anyone for a cup of tea?
- Yes please?
- [Laura] Come on Prince.
- [Jack] This place is weird.
- It was an owl sanctuary years ago
and I was the warden,
but when the monastery sold
the island I stayed on.
Well I couldn't leave
my birds unprotected.
My little Aristotle and his family.
- Father Francis, why
do you have a red light?
- Birds can't see by infrared light,
so Aristotle here can sleep
while I get on with my book.
- What do you do with this?
- Oh, I keep in touch with
orinthologists all over
the world with that radio.
It keeps me informed.
Now, it's your turn.
I may be out of touch,
but shouldn't you be
at home with your families?
- We haven't got families.
At least, Jack hasn't got a mom or a dad,
and our mom is dead, and our dad...
He's lost at sea.
- He's not lost!
They just haven't found him yet.
- And Nanny Betts has gone to heaven.
- And our Uncle Henry
wants to sell our house.
- And Jack's grandpa's
gonna put him in the home.
- So we ran away.
- Lost at sea eh?
Well, I may have one or
two ideas about that.
Start at the beginning, and
don't miss anything out.
(gentle guitar music)
- Did you dismantle the shelter,
clear up, bury the rubbish?
- Yes yes and yes, of course!
No one will know we were here.
For the last chapter.
Say cheese.
Oh go on, give us a smile.
- Nothing to smile about, Charlie.
We're taking on water.
Grab the gear, we're going down.
(intense music)
- [Charlotte] Got any more bright ideas?
- Well none that spring to mind!
- Bad choice of words, Thaddeus.
Real bad choice.
- What do you mean, he threatened you?
- Good as called me a murderer.
- That ain't right.
Not unless the police have
got some proof that is.
- 'Course they haven't.
- That's good then.
Means you'll probably get away with it.
- Eh?
Look, can't you get it into your head?
Those kids have just run off,
that's all there is to it!
- A haunted island.
- I reckon that's where
we'll find the kids.
- Yeah, what's all this we business?
- Well if my lot are there,
that's where your Jack will be.
- Aye, and he can stay
there far as I'm concerned.
You want to go off to that island Henry,
you go by yourself.
- Even if there was a bottle
of whiskey in it for you?
- Well now, that's a different matter.
(frogs croaking)
(gasps)
- Oh no!
- [Jack] Laura, what's the matter?
- Boat, coming towards us, two men!
- Did they see you?
- I don't think so.
Oh Jack what are we gonna do?
- You tell the others.
Go to the caves and keep quiet.
- What about the chickens?
- Ah yeah, here you take the
eggs and leave them to me.
Did you wipe out your footprints?
- No.
- Never mind, I'll do it, off you go.
(suspenseful music)
- [Luke] Bit to your right, Henry.
No no I mean left.
- [Henry] Make up your mind!
- [Francis] You're sure it's
waterproof, this mobile phone?
- Yes, I used to test it in the bath.
- So it must have either...
Can you remember the number?
- Why, it can't be working.
- If it's underwater, I can
get a fix on its location.
(intense music)
- Come on Mike, come on!
- 0...
040--
- Yes yes?
- 477.
3...
36...
- People coming, must hide!
- Where's Jack and Prince?
- I'll go and find them.
- 336 what?
- 3360.
- [Peggy] You're a genius!
- I'm going to have to close the door.
I don't want anyone finding me either.
No planning permission, do you see?
- That's all right father, we've got to go
and clear up our rubbish anyway.
- Shoo shoo shoo shoo.
Shoo shoo shoo shoo.
Shoo shoo shoo.
- Let's see if we can
get a fix on that phone.
- Don't look like no one's
been here before, do it Henry?
- He could have landed anywhere.
Come on, let's take a look around.
- Aye, if it's all the
same to you I'll wait here.
Mind the boat.
- You fool.
Man of your age, frightened
by some old wive's tale.
- There are more things in heaven, earth,
and something what's it?
No I know, in our philosophy Horatio.
I learned that when I was a boy.
I never forgot it.
- Are you coming?
- Hello.
Hello.
(intense music)
- Laura!
Is Prince with you?
- [Laura] No I don't
know where he's got to.
- Well let's just hope he has
the sense to stay out of sight.
- [Luke] Henry I tell you
we're wasting our time.
- [Henry] These caves you told me about,
my guess is we'll find them there.
(barks, growls)
- Did you hear that?
- Of course I did!
- Well what was it?
- How should I know?
(growling)
- There it is again!
I tell you straight
Henry, I don't like this.
- Come on, let's get to those caves.
(panting)
Are we nearly there?
- I think so.
(barks, growls)
What is it?
Here they are!
Let's get out of here, I don't like it.
- Yes.
No, I'm determined to go in those caves.
- You'll get trapped!
- What by?
- How should I know?
But I'm certainly not going in there.
- You're nothing but a coward, Luke.
- Aye, but leastways I'm a live one.
(ominous music)
(sneezes)
- Luke, Luke.
There's something in here.
(wooing eerily)
Luke?
Come on Luke, run!
- Didn't I tell ya, didn't I tell ya?
(barking)
- That was great.
(coughs)
- You were scary.
- I love doing that.
I've been doing it for years.
By the way, I got a fix on that phone.
Amazing thing, satellites.
It's time to put phase two into operation.
(gentle piano music)
- No water?
- Nothing.
Not even a trickle.
- Black or white?
I get to go first.
You can play, can't you?
Or would you rather play drums?
- I'm sorry Charlie.
- So you will be, when I thrash you.
(coughs)
(gentle piano music)
- Can you hear me?
Hello.
Hello.
How's the wee girl?
- Could be better.
Jack and Mike have gone
to get her some medicine.
- Best medicine for her
would be to find her dad, eh?
Heard a chap a minute
ago in the right area.
Bit of a language problem
and the connection's bad,
but if at first you don't succeed...
- Try try try again.
- That's the spirit.
Hello, hello.
- [Man] I can't hear you
mate, you're breaking up.
- Hello.
- Huh?
(radio crackles)
I can't hear you mate.
- Sarge, sarge it's Cooper.
Yeah I've got 'em.
Well the kids of course,
they're on the lake.
Yeah I can see them...
Well they were here a minute ago.
Just hang on, I'll just
see if I can find them.
Ah it's no good sarge, they
just seem to have disappeared.
Well of course I saw them.
I haven't caught anything yet.
If I caught those two it
really would have been a catch.
Coming from?
Well it looked like from
the other side of the lake,
but they could have been
coming from anywhere.
Yeah, I'll go and have a nosy around.
- All right, great.
Gotcha, okay mate no problems.
Will do, over.
- Fingers crossed.
Or would you prefer a prayer?
I might be a bit rusty.
(chuckles)
Two way bet we call that.
(pleasant music)
- Thaddeus?
- What?
- Before I go, something I have to say.
- Oh there's no need, Charlie.
I know how you really feel about me.
You don't have to put it into words.
- Oh but I do.
You see, of all the men I have ever met
you are the most chauvinistic,
arrogant, self-opinionated,
and pig-headed of the lot.
- I'm glad you told me that
before we were rescued, Charlie.
Where are the flares?
(pleasant music)
- And just when it was
getting interesting.
(pleasant music)
- Mike, Mike.
- Right.
- Ah, morning constable.
- Oh it's you Luke.
You found any good bargains yet?
- Aye, I reckon I just seen
about the best bargain you'll get today.
- What are you on about?
- Henry still putting out that reward
for them kids of his is he?
- Have you seen them?
- Well now, that depends
on the reward don't it?
- I'm really surprised.
I didn't think we'd get that
much for the blackberries.
- Yeah he gave us a bundle.
He gave us heaps.
The girls will be pleased.
- Definitely.
(tires squeal)
- [Constable] Oi, get back here!
(pleasant music)
- Jack, quick in here!
(upbeat music)
- If you're looking for the
two boys, they went that way.
- [Constable] Sarge!
- [Tom] It's all right,
you can come out now.
- Gotcha!
(whistles)
- Prince?
Laura, what's the matter?
- It's all over.
- [Peggy] What is?
- Our dream, it's all over.
- Someone's coming.
Oh thank goodness.
I was beginning to get worried.
Oh no.
- I've just had a call
from the chief constable.
The children have been found.
- Oh great, great news.
- I'm just ringing to warn you
to keep your grubby little hands off them.
- But we have an exclusive
contract signed by their uncle.
- Which isn't worth the
paper it's written on.
You've been warned.
Any news of Thaddeus
and that woman of yours?
- That's exclusive to Scoop Magazine, pal.
British!
- Americans!
(laughs)
- God sometimes works in scientific ways.
But now my work,
my presence here
comes to an end.
I'll seal up this secret place
and restore it to mother nature.
- But where will you go father Francis?
- Wherever the lord takes me, child.
And now the young constable
has been very patient.
You must keep him waiting
no longer, go now.
And my blessings go with you.
- Come on Prince.
- Bye.
- Good boy.
Come on.
(gentle piano music)
- You're taking us to
some prison aren't you?
- Whatever put that idea in your head?
- Mike, we're too young for prison.
But they could lock us up at some home.
- Why won't you tell us where we're going?
- Don't you worry.
You'll find out soon enough.
(sighs)
All right, here we are.
Go on, out you get.
- Dad!
- Dad!
- Laura, Mike, Peggy!
Oh it's great to see you.
How are you hi, are you all right yeah?
- You're not an Arnold are you?
You must be Jack then.
- And we stole some chickens.
(phone rings)
- [Laura] And we ran
away from Auntie Harriet.
- Clancy.
- Charlie!
- Oh hi Dwight.
- You know I can't get over
your being back safe and sound.
It's so great.
I nearly cried when I got the news.
- Gee thanks Dwight.
And I thought you were just an old cynic.
- But hey it sent me thinking,
what a great combination
you two guys make, working together.
- Who?
- You and the Arnold guy.
- Me and Thaddeus?
- Oh yeah, Charlie.
Everybody's talking about you.
You two guys are hot!
So it sent me thinking where
I could send you both next.
Charlie?
Charlie.
Charlie?
- Did you hear that Charlotte?
We've all been living on islands.
- That right?
Fantastic.
Right, well I guess I'll hit the road.
Duty calls.
- Oh, do you have to?
- Yeah, well I think I've got all I need.
- Well, I guess it's time
to say au revoir then.
- I'll be in touch.
Send you the contract prints for approval.
(emotional music)
- Thank you for bringing them
all back safely, constable.
- My pleasure.
Bye-bye kids, Mr. Arnold.
- So this must be Jack.
- We should've known.
- Come on in Jack and have a drink,
and tell Dad all about it.
Is that all right?
- 'Course, come on then let's go.
Oi you!
(pleasant music)
- [Peggy] Come on Prince,
you live with us now.

- Try try try again.
- That's the spirit.
Hello, hello.
- [Man] I can't hear you
mate, you're breaking up.
- Hello.
- Huh?
(radio crackles)
I can't hear you mate.
- Sarge, sarge it's Cooper.
Yeah I've got 'em.
Well the kids of course,
they're on the lake.
Yeah I can see them...
Well they were here a minute ago.
Just hang on, I'll just
see if I can find them.
Ah it's no good sarge, they
just seem to have disappeared.
Well of course I saw them.
I haven't caught anything yet.
If I caught those two it
really would have been a catch.
Coming from?
Well it looked like from
the other side of the lake,
but they could have been
coming from anywhere.
Yeah, I'll go and have a nosy around.
- All right, great.
Gotcha, okay mate no problems.
Will do, over.
- Fingers crossed.
Or would you prefer a prayer?
I might be a bit rusty.
(chuckles)
Two way bet we call that.
(pleasant music)
- Thaddeus?
- What?
- Before I go, something I have to say.
- Oh there's no need, Charlie.
I know how you really feel about me.
You don't have to put it into words.
- Oh but I do.
You see, of all the men I have ever met
you are the most chauvinistic,
arrogant, self-opinionated,
and pig-headed of the lot.
- I'm glad you told me that
before we were rescued, Charlie.
Where are the flares?
(pleasant music)
- And just when it was
getting interesting.
(pleasant music)
- Mike, Mike.
- Right.
- Ah, morning constable.
- Oh it's you Luke.
You found any good bargains yet?
- Aye, I reckon I just seen
about the best bargain you'll get today.
- What are you on about?
- Henry still putting out that reward
for them kids of his is he?
- Have you seen them?
- Well now, that depends
on the reward don't it?
- I'm really surprised.
I didn't think we'd get that
much for the blackberries.
- Yeah he gave us a bundle.
He gave us heaps.
The girls will be pleased.
- Definitely.
(tires squeal)
- [Constable] Oi, get back here!
(pleasant music)
- Jack, quick in here!
(upbeat music)
- If you're looking for the
two boys, they went that way.
- [Constable] Sarge!
- [Tom] It's all right,
you can come out now.
- Gotcha!
(whistles)
- Prince?
Laura, what's the matter?
- It's all over.
- [Peggy] What is?
- Our dream, it's all over.
- Someone's coming.
Oh thank goodness.
I was beginning to get worried.
Oh no.
- I've just had a call
from the chief constable.
The children have been found.
- Oh great, great news.
- I'm just ringing to warn you
to keep your grubby little hands off them.
- But we have an exclusive
contract signed by their uncle.
- Which isn't worth the
paper it's written on.
You've been warned.
Any news of Thaddeus
and that woman of yours?
- That's exclusive to Scoop Magazine, pal.
British!
- Americans!
(laughs)
- God sometimes works in scientific ways.
But now my work,
my presence here
comes to an end.
I'll seal up this secret place
and restore it to mother nature.
- But where will you go father Francis?
- Wherever the lord takes me, child.
And now the young constable
has been very patient.
You must keep him waiting
no longer, go now.
And my blessings go with you.
- Come on Prince.
- Bye.
- Good boy.
Come on.
(gentle piano music)
- You're taking us to
some prison aren't you?
- Whatever put that idea in your head?
- Mike, we're too young for prison.
But they could lock us up at some home.
- Why won't you tell us where we're going?
- Don't you worry.
You'll find out soon enough.
(sighs)
All right, here we are.
Go on, out you get.
- Dad!
- Dad!
- Laura, Mike, Peggy!
Oh it's great to see you.
How are you hi, are you all right yeah?
- You're not an Arnold are you?
You must be Jack then.
- And we stole some chickens.
(phone rings)
- [Laura] And we ran
away from Auntie Harriet.
- Clancy.
- Charlie!
- Oh hi Dwight.
- You know I can't get over
your being back safe and sound.
It's so great.
I nearly cried when I got the news.
- Gee thanks Dwight.
And I thought you were just an old cynic.
- But hey it sent me thinking,
what a great combination
you two guys make, working together.
- Who?
- You and the Arnold guy.
- Me and Thaddeus?
- Oh yeah, Charlie.
Everybody's talking about you.
You two guys are hot!
So it sent me thinking where
I could send you both next.
Charlie?
Charlie.
Charlie?
- Did you hear that Charlotte?
We've all been living on islands.
- That right?
Fantastic.
Right, well I guess I'll hit the road.
Duty calls.
- Oh, do you have to?
- Yeah, well I think I've got all I need.
- Well, I guess it's time
to say au revoir then.
- I'll be in touch.
Send you the contract prints for approval.
(emotional music)
- Thank you for bringing them
all back safely, constable.
- My pleasure.
Bye-bye kids, Mr. Arnold.
- So this must be Jack.
- We should've known.
- Come on in Jack and have a drink,
and tell Dad all about it.
Is that all right?
- 'Course, come on then let's go.
Oi you!
(pleasant music)
- [Peggy] Come on Prince,
you live with us now.
