- Two minutes and three seconds.
- I said two minutes.
- But--
- There are no buts about it.
Do it again.

- Ugh.
Ow.
Mm.
(engine running)
- There's no sign of him.
- I'll bet he's here somewhere.
- We'll find him.
- That's what we're here to
do, find Wild Jack, Nature Boy.
- You make everything sound
like one of your adventures.
- Do I?
- Yes, and it's not.
I'm worried about him.
- Sorry.
'Course you are.
- Our secret place is this way.
- That boy'll meet himself
coming back one day.
- Jack.
Jack!
- This is our little house.
- Well, it's marvelous.
- He's been here.
- No, we left those when we were here.
- What, you left all these cans?
- Dad, the police took us off.
They didn't worry about tidying up.
- Well, you jolly well will
before you leave the
island this time, okay?
- Did you tidy up when you
were rescued from the desert island?
- Of course I did.
- I'll bet Charlotte did it all.
- Hah.
You're joking, of course.
- Why don't you like her?
- I thought we came here to find Jack,
not to talk about Charlotte.
- That's quite right, Mike.
- Let's see if he's hidden his boat.
If it's here, so is he.
- [Laura] Prince!
Prince!
- Let's find the boat!
- Right, let's find the boat.
(dog whining)
- Aw, Prince, where've you been?
Where've you been?
Where've you been?
Good boy.
- [Mike] We've been
looking for you for ages.
- [Laura] Why did you run off again?
- I didn't, this is my home.
- [Peggy] Don't be silly.
- I'm not.
Granddad Luke sold the
farm and disappeared.
I don't want 'em to put me in a home.
- Stupid, you can stay with us.
Can't he, Dad?
- [Thaddeus] Well, if
that's what Jack wants.
- [Peggy] Of course he does.
- Thanks, Mr. Arnold.
- [Laura] Race you to the boat.
- Hey, you tidy up your
little house first.
- [Laura] Okay.
- Thanks, Dad.
- Did I have a choice?
- Not really.
- Foggo.
- Hey, buddy.
Have you been trying to
knobble the Arnold guy
about doing my book tour?
- I beg your pardon?
- [Dwight] Don't play games, pal.
- To whom am I speaking?
- Dwight T. Peach,
editor of Scoop Magazine,
as if you didn't know.
- Oh, yes.
- That Arnold guy is under contract
to do the book tour, so just butt out.
- Butt out?
- Right.
I know you been trying
to talk him out of it.
- Nothing of the sort.
Just can't stand you chaps
treating the man like a performing monkey.
- Hey, look, pal, for the kind of money
we're paying for this promotion,
he will eat nuts and swing
from trees if we say so.
And I'm the guy who's gonna
make sure he gets there.
(dial tone buzzing)
- Orange juice or lemonade?
- Both, it's a celebration.
- Then can we go sailing, Dad?
- Yes, Jack hasn't seen our boat yet.
- Oh yes, please, Dad.
Can we go sailing, please?
Please?
- [Thaddeus] Well...
- Great.
(dog barks)
- [Laura] You can come too, Prince.
(doorbell rings)
- Door.
Oh.
Ah, Charlotte.
- We've got to talk, Thaddeus Arnold.
Hi.
- [Laura and Peggy] Hi.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- I'm sorry guys, but it looks like
we'll have to scrub the sailing.
It's work, I'm afraid.
- Oh no, you can't do that.
That's not fair.
- It is important.
- I'll make it up to you, I promise.
Why don't you show Jack
'round Spiggy Holes?
- That's a great idea.
Come on, Jack.
- [Jack] Come on, Prince.
- [Thaddeus] Hey, you watch the tide.
- Bye.
- Bye, Peggy.
Guess I'm not very popular 'round here.
- [Diaz] Everything on schedule?
- Yeah.
- Sure?
- Yeah.
- Good.
So in two days' time,
I'll be King of Baronia.
- And I shall be the king's advisor.
(laughs)
- [Diaz] Yes.
- Come on, Prince.
- [Jack] So what's Spiggy Holes?
- [Laura] Just smugglers'
caves in the cliffs.
- Really?
Real smugglers?
Now?
- [Laura] No, hundreds of years ago.
- [Mike] But there's a great old church.
- You've got to go, Thaddeus.
It's in the contract.
We've got to tour to promote the book.
- But I don't like crowds
and having to talk to people.
Why do you think I've spent my whole life
traveling to isolated places, huh?
It's to get away from all that.
- You can't.
You're a famous explorer, right?
You're public property.
People want to see you.
Though if they knew the real truth...
- What do you mean?
- You got us shipwrecked
on a deserted island.
- Oh.
- I vowed I wouldn't even
go to the end of the block
with you again, but we've got to go.
- I can't.
I can't leave the children.
- Oh, that's all fixed.
- What?
- I guessed you'd try to
wriggle out of it that way,
so I advertised for a nanny.
For the kids, not you.
- [Jack] Doesn't anybody live here?
- No, not for ages.
Used to be lived in by the
Cistercian monks or something.
- [Laura] Dad said it was
called the silent order.
- What does that mean?
- They never spoke, ever.
- One got ill, and they all died.
- Why?
- Because they couldn't tell
the doctor what was wrong.
- What?
- Just joking.
- It's really creepy.
- Can you get inside?
- [Peggy] 'Course, we do it all the time.
- Laura thought it was haunted at first.
- Well, it could have been.
- I wish it was.
- Stupid.
- Come on, you two, stop arguing.
(dog barking)
Yes, Prince, they're
being silly, aren't they?
(dog barking)
- [Mike] There's a room up here.
You can see for miles.
- [Jack] This is great.
- You can.
We used to signal to each other
from Mike's bedroom window.
You can see it from the top.
- What an amazing place.
- [Mike] Look, out here.
One smuggler would send a
signal to another smuggler, see?
- How do you know?
- Dad's got some old books about it.
- Shh.
I heard a noise in the old monastery.
- What?
- Shush.
Listen.
- I can't hear anything.
- There was.
- Ghosts again.
- No, listen.
- [Diaz] Chosen well.
Miles from anywhere.
- I told you.
They're coming up here.
- [Bert] What do you think?
- [Diaz] What are you doing here?
Who are you?
(dog barking)
- Shush, Prince.
- [Peggy] I'm sorry.
We live over the hill.
We thought it was deserted.
- It always has been.
- Well, it's not deserted now.
I've rented the place, and it's mine.
If you ever come back, or
even set foot in the grounds,
you'll be very, very sorry!
Now get out!
- [Peggy] We're sorry!
- You will be, if you
ever come back here again!
I thought you said nobody came here.
- Don't worry, Mr. Diaz.
I'll make sure they don't come back.
- Irritating, infuriating woman.
Who does she think she is?
- Dad!
We just saw two men at the old monastery.
They said they rented it.
- They were very rude.
- They told us to clear off.
- Well, if they've rented it,
you've no business being there, have you?
- It's a cheek.
That was our house.
- Well, it's not now, so keep away.
I don't want any trouble whilst I'm gone.
- Oh no, you're not going away again!
- I'm sorry, Peggy, I have to.
- Who'll look after us?
- Well, that's all been arranged.
I'm hiring a nanny.
- [Mike] A nanny!
- Who is she?
- Don't worry, Mr. Arnold.
I won't stand any nonsense from them.
I know just how to handle children.
- Bye.
- Dad.
- Now, don't start.
- But she's awful.
- She's got a face like a squashed lemon.
- Michael!
- Dad, you can't leave us with her.
- I've no choice.
There were only two replies,
and the other one hasn't shown up.
She's got excellent qualifications.
- For running a prison.
(dog barking)
- Even Prince agrees.
He nearly bit her.
- Will you kids give me a break!
It's my job.
I can't help it, I've got to go.
And I'm sure her bark's
worse than her bite.
I bet she's very nice
when you get to know her.
What did you think, Jack?
- Well...
- See?
(motorcycle running)
- Who's that?
- How's it going?
Sorry I'm late.
I got lost.
Ah, hello, boy.
Good boy.
- Um, who are you?
- Oh no.
Don't say I got the wrong house again.
Mr. Arnold?
- Yes.
- You advertised for a nanny.
Well, I've worked with loads of kids.
I had to look after my six brothers
and sisters when my mum died.
Then I ran a Brownie troop.
- [Thaddeus] Oh really.
- Until I got kicked out.
- [Laura] Why?
- I took them to a rock 'n'
roll concert instead of camping.
- [Thaddeus] So you've
got no qualifications.
- Only for jiving.
You know, rock 'n' roll, you know?
I won loads of competitions.
I could've done it professionally
if I hadn't've injured my knee.
I fell off my boyfriend's motorbike.
Running sheep on his dad's farm.
- What about cooking and
housework, that sort of thing?
- Depends what you mean by cooking.
And housework's not my favorite job.
But don't worry, Mr. Arnold.
They won't starve.
I'll look after them
as if they were my own.
Even teach them to dance.
Does that work?
- [Thaddeus] Mm-hm.
- Come on, who's first?
- Me!
(phone ringing)
- Hello?
- [Charlotte] Hi, Thaddeus?
- Oh, Charlotte, hi.
- Now I've got the itinerary all arranged.
There'll be a photo shoot at 10 o'clock
and organized a match with
the publishers at one.
And Dwight has a telephone
press interview pending.
Dress appropriately, Thaddeus.
Remember, this is an adventure
into the commercial world.
Now, have you fixed up
the children's nanny yet?
- Have I found a nanny yet?
Yes.
I do believe I have.
- Good.
I'll see you at the hotel.
(ominous music)
- Let me go, let me go!
- Not so fast, your royal highness.
Now we're going for a little boat ride.
Now, won't that be nice, eh?
Come on.
- Turn the light off!
- What are you doing?
- Shh.
Looking at that man from the monastery.
- We think they're smugglers.
- Smugglers?
- Shh.
- You heard what they said.
- About putting some
precious cargo in the Hi-Tek.
- That could mean anything.
- [Laura] What do you suppose he's doing?
- I don't know.
But I bet it's not the grocery shopping.
Well, I'm gonna keep
an eye on them anyway.
Just in case they are smugglers.
- [Mike] And me.
- And me.
This is gonna be real exciting.
- Shh.
- [King] Well, is there any news?
- Yes, your majesty.
We found the car at the marina.
- What about Paul?
What about my son?
- I'm afraid there was no sign, sir.
Only this note in the back of the car.
- Read it.
- Unless you abdicate and
give your brother the throne,
you will never see your son again.
- Oh.
(dog barking)
- All right, all right, Prince.
You'll get your breakfast in a minute.
You won't get anything if
you carry on like that.
- Ruby!
- Morning!
And that's the last of the bread.
- I'll have corn flakes.
- Sorry.
Your dad didn't buy any before he left.
Look, I'll nip down to
the village on my scooter.
- Don't bother for me, I'm off out.
- Me too.
- And me.
- How long are we going to be here?
I'm starving.
- You should've had an apple.
- I don't want an apple.
I want breakfast.
- You don't have to stay.
- You don't believe
they're smugglers anyway.
- No, I don't.
- Go, then.
- I can't.
I promised Dad before he left
to keep an eye on you lot.
- Jack can look after us.
- Laura.
- Shh, someone's coming.
- What is it?
(cell phone ringing)
- Yes?
(man speaking on phone)
- Well?
(man speaking on phone)
- Yes? Oh, excellent, excellent.
Tonight, yes, I'll call you up.
Meet me at the beach.
(dog barking)
What is it?
- They've seen us.
- Wait.
(dog growling)
- It's coming for us.
- You lot creep away when I get up.
- [Laura] Jack.
(dog barking)
- Here, boy.
(dog barking)
- What are you doing here again?
What did I tell you?
- I'm looking for Prince.
- Prince?
- [Jack] He's my dog.
- Well, if it comes this way,
it won't last long, I'm telling you.
This dog will be loose in the
grounds, so don't come back.
And tell your other
friends anyone trespassing
could get badly hurt, remember that.
- I will.
(dog barking)
- [Peggy] What happened, Jack?
Are you all right?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Did you hear what he said?
They're going to the beach tonight.
- See?
I told you they were smugglers.
- Okay, so you two were right.
Maybe.
- Shall we tell the police?
- Tell them what?
We don't know what he's
going there for, do we?
- There's only one way to find out.
Go and see.
- Tonight?
- Yeah, we could hide in one
of those caves and watch.
Look, you don't have to come, Peggy.
- I am.
You two can stay at home.
- Well, I'm going too, if Jack does.
- There might be ghosts.
- I don't care.
- Laura!
- Honestly, you British are so servile.
- Is there a problem?
- We've only got one room.
- What?
- They've got a VIP
arriving at the last minute,
so they gave 'em one of our rooms.
- Oh, well, that's all right.
I'll go and find another hotel.
- Don't know that that is, Arnold.
I'm not having you sneaking
back home when my back's turned.
- But I can't--
- Look, I'm not wild about it either,
but it's just for one night.
What harm can it do?
- But it's not right.
What will people think?
- Thaddeus.
Half the world knows we were marooned
on a deserted island together.
Too late to worry about your honor now.
(suspenseful music)
- [Jack] Turn your torches off.
- [Peggy] We won't be able to see, Jack.
- [Jack] But they might see us.
- [Peggy] Honestly, this is stupid.
- [Mike] It's great.
It's like one of Dad's adventures.
(phone ringing)
- Peach.
- Foggo.
I'll have you know that Thaddeus Arnold
is a respectable widower
with three young children.
- So?
- So what's all this nonsense
about him and that woman
of yours having to share a hotel room?
- It's news to me, pal.
- Oh, try to concoct
some cheap romantic story
for your tawdry little
magazine, I suppose.
- Get outta my face, pal.
I had nothing to do with it.
- Oh.
- What a great story, though.
(groans)
Famous Explorer Woos Star Journalist.
(groans)
Adventurer Weds Ace Reporter.
(groans)
- Thaddeus, will you stop groaning?
I'm trying to get to sleep.
- So am I.
I should've found another hotel.
- Daredevil Dumps Heartbroken Hack.
- What's the problem, Thaddy?
You're a famous explorer.
You should be used to roughing it.
- It could run for years.
- I can do without the sarcasm, thank you.
And don't call me Thaddy.
- Suit yourself.
- Here's a good one, Jack.
It'll fit all of us in.
- What now?
- You lot try to get some sleep.
We'll take it in turns to keep watch.
- This is great!
Just like the old smugglers.
(elevator dinging)
- [Bodyguard] This way, your highness.
- Charlotte, what are you doing?
- Shh.
- What's going on?
- The VIP's arriving.
- Charlotte, I am trying to sleep.
- He's here.
Good grief.
It's the King of Baronia.
What's he doing here?
- Trying to get some
sleep, like the rest of us?
- Listen, Thad, it
hasn't been in the news,
so why would he sneak
into England secretly?
- I don't know, and I don't care.
- Well, I'm gonna find out.
There's gotta be a story here.
Where's my camera?
- Oh, Charlotte.
- Sorry.
But a story is a story.
- Jack, we can't stay here much longer.
- [Jack] It's only midnight.
- But the tide's coming in.
- We can watch from the clifftops.
- We can't see properly from up there.
- I don't care if they are smugglers.
I want to go home to bed.
- You wanted to come.
- Well, I came, and now I want to go back.
- Laura's right.
We'll all get pneumonia.
Come on.
- What's that?
Can you see it?
- [Jack] There!
There it is.
- It's coming straight for us!
- Stay back.
Get down, get down!
- They've seen us, they've seen us!

- Shush, Prince.
- [Peggy] I'm sorry.
We live over the hill.
We thought it was deserted.
- It always has been.
- Well, it's not deserted now.
I've rented the place, and it's mine.
If you ever come back, or
even set foot in the grounds,
you'll be very, very sorry!
Now get out!
- [Peggy] We're sorry!
- You will be, if you
ever come back here again!
I thought you said nobody came here.
- Don't worry, Mr. Diaz.
I'll make sure they don't come back.
- Irritating, infuriating woman.
Who does she think she is?
- Dad!
We just saw two men at the old monastery.
They said they rented it.
- They were very rude.
- They told us to clear off.
- Well, if they've rented it,
you've no business being there, have you?
- It's a cheek.
That was our house.
- Well, it's not now, so keep away.
I don't want any trouble whilst I'm gone.
- Oh no, you're not going away again!
- I'm sorry, Peggy, I have to.
- Who'll look after us?
- Well, that's all been arranged.
I'm hiring a nanny.
- [Mike] A nanny!
- Who is she?
- Don't worry, Mr. Arnold.
I won't stand any nonsense from them.
I know just how to handle children.
- Bye.
- Dad.
- Now, don't start.
- But she's awful.
- She's got a face like a squashed lemon.
- Michael!
- Dad, you can't leave us with her.
- I've no choice.
There were only two replies,
and the other one hasn't shown up.
She's got excellent qualifications.
- For running a prison.
(dog barking)
- Even Prince agrees.
He nearly bit her.
- Will you kids give me a break!
It's my job.
I can't help it, I've got to go.
And I'm sure her bark's
worse than her bite.
I bet she's very nice
when you get to know her.
What did you think, Jack?
- Well...
- See?
(motorcycle running)
- Who's that?
- How's it going?
Sorry I'm late.
I got lost.
Ah, hello, boy.
Good boy.
- Um, who are you?
- Oh no.
Don't say I got the wrong house again.
Mr. Arnold?
- Yes.
- You advertised for a nanny.
Well, I've worked with loads of kids.
I had to look after my six brothers
and sisters when my mum died.
Then I ran a Brownie troop.
- [Thaddeus] Oh really.
- Until I got kicked out.
- [Laura] Why?
- I took them to a rock 'n'
roll concert instead of camping.
- [Thaddeus] So you've
got no qualifications.
- Only for jiving.
You know, rock 'n' roll, you know?
I won loads of competitions.
I could've done it professionally
if I hadn't've injured my knee.
I fell off my boyfriend's motorbike.
Running sheep on his dad's farm.
- What about cooking and
housework, that sort of thing?
- Depends what you mean by cooking.
And housework's not my favorite job.
But don't worry, Mr. Arnold.
They won't starve.
I'll look after them
as if they were my own.
Even teach them to dance.
Does that work?
- [Thaddeus] Mm-hm.
- Come on, who's first?
- Me!
(phone ringing)
- Hello?
- [Charlotte] Hi, Thaddeus?
- Oh, Charlotte, hi.
- Now I've got the itinerary all arranged.
There'll be a photo shoot at 10 o'clock
and organized a match with
the publishers at one.
And Dwight has a telephone
press interview pending.
Dress appropriately, Thaddeus.
Remember, this is an adventure
into the commercial world.
Now, have you fixed up
the children's nanny yet?
- Have I found a nanny yet?
Yes.
I do believe I have.
- Good.
I'll see you at the hotel.
(ominous music)
- Let me go, let me go!
- Not so fast, your royal highness.
Now we're going for a little boat ride.
Now, won't that be nice, eh?
Come on.
- Turn the light off!
- What are you doing?
- Shh.
Looking at that man from the monastery.
- We think they're smugglers.
- Smugglers?
- Shh.
- You heard what they said.
- About putting some
precious cargo in the Hi-Tek.
- That could mean anything.
- [Laura] What do you suppose he's doing?
- I don't know.
But I bet it's not the grocery shopping.
Well, I'm gonna keep
an eye on them anyway.
Just in case they are smugglers.
- [Mike] And me.
- And me.
This is gonna be real exciting.
- Shh.
- [King] Well, is there any news?
- Yes, your majesty.
We found the car at the marina.
- What about Paul?
What about my son?
- I'm afraid there was no sign, sir.
Only this note in the back of the car.
- Read it.
- Unless you abdicate and
give your brother the throne,
you will never see your son again.
- Oh.
(dog barking)
- All right, all right, Prince.
You'll get your breakfast in a minute.
You won't get anything if
you carry on like that.
- Ruby!
- Morning!
And that's the last of the bread.
- I'll have corn flakes.
- Sorry.
Your dad didn't buy any before he left.
Look, I'll nip down to
the village on my scooter.
- Don't bother for me, I'm off out.
- Me too.
- And me.
- How long are we going to be here?
I'm starving.
- You should've had an apple.
- I don't want an apple.
I want breakfast.
- You don't have to stay.
- You don't believe
they're smugglers anyway.
- No, I don't.
- Go, then.
- I can't.
I promised Dad before he left
to keep an eye on you lot.
- Jack can look after us.
- Laura.
- Shh, someone's coming.
- What is it?
(cell phone ringing)
- Yes?
(man speaking on phone)
- Well?
(man speaking on phone)
- Yes? Oh, excellent, excellent.
Tonight, yes, I'll call you up.
Meet me at the beach.
(dog barking)
What is it?
- They've seen us.
- Wait.
(dog growling)
- It's coming for us.
- You lot creep away when I get up.
- [Laura] Jack.
(dog barking)
- Here, boy.
(dog barking)
- What are you doing here again?
What did I tell you?
- I'm looking for Prince.
- Prince?
- [Jack] He's my dog.
- Well, if it comes this way,
it won't last long, I'm telling you.
This dog will be loose in the
grounds, so don't come back.
And tell your other
friends anyone trespassing
could get badly hurt, remember that.
- I will.
(dog barking)
- [Peggy] What happened, Jack?
Are you all right?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Did you hear what he said?
They're going to the beach tonight.
- See?
I told you they were smugglers.
- Okay, so you two were right.
Maybe.
- Shall we tell the police?
- Tell them what?
We don't know what he's
going there for, do we?
- There's only one way to find out.
Go and see.
- Tonight?
- Yeah, we could hide in one
of those caves and watch.
Look, you don't have to come, Peggy.
- I am.
You two can stay at home.
- Well, I'm going too, if Jack does.
- There might be ghosts.
- I don't care.
- Laura!
- Honestly, you British are so servile.
- Is there a problem?
- We've only got one room.
- What?
- They've got a VIP
arriving at the last minute,
so they gave 'em one of our rooms.
- Oh, well, that's all right.
I'll go and find another hotel.
- Don't know that that is, Arnold.
I'm not having you sneaking
back home when my back's turned.
- But I can't--
- Look, I'm not wild about it either,
but it's just for one night.
What harm can it do?
- But it's not right.
What will people think?
- Thaddeus.
Half the world knows we were marooned
on a deserted island together.
Too late to worry about your honor now.
(suspenseful music)
- [Jack] Turn your torches off.
- [Peggy] We won't be able to see, Jack.
- [Jack] But they might see us.
- [Peggy] Honestly, this is stupid.
- [Mike] It's great.
It's like one of Dad's adventures.
(phone ringing)
- Peach.
- Foggo.
I'll have you know that Thaddeus Arnold
is a respectable widower
with three young children.
- So?
- So what's all this nonsense
about him and that woman
of yours having to share a hotel room?
- It's news to me, pal.
- Oh, try to concoct
some cheap romantic story
for your tawdry little
magazine, I suppose.
- Get outta my face, pal.
I had nothing to do with it.
- Oh.
- What a great story, though.
(groans)
Famous Explorer Woos Star Journalist.
(groans)
Adventurer Weds Ace Reporter.
(groans)
- Thaddeus, will you stop groaning?
I'm trying to get to sleep.
- So am I.
I should've found another hotel.
- Daredevil Dumps Heartbroken Hack.
- What's the problem, Thaddy?
You're a famous explorer.
You should be used to roughing it.
- It could run for years.
- I can do without the sarcasm, thank you.
And don't call me Thaddy.
- Suit yourself.
- Here's a good one, Jack.
It'll fit all of us in.
- What now?
- You lot try to get some sleep.
We'll take it in turns to keep watch.
- This is great!
Just like the old smugglers.
(elevator dinging)
- [Bodyguard] This way, your highness.
- Charlotte, what are you doing?
- Shh.
- What's going on?
- The VIP's arriving.
- Charlotte, I am trying to sleep.
- He's here.
Good grief.
It's the King of Baronia.
What's he doing here?
- Trying to get some
sleep, like the rest of us?
- Listen, Thad, it
hasn't been in the news,
so why would he sneak
into England secretly?
- I don't know, and I don't care.
- Well, I'm gonna find out.
There's gotta be a story here.
Where's my camera?
- Oh, Charlotte.
- Sorry.
But a story is a story.
- Jack, we can't stay here much longer.
- [Jack] It's only midnight.
- But the tide's coming in.
- We can watch from the clifftops.
- We can't see properly from up there.
- I don't care if they are smugglers.
I want to go home to bed.
- You wanted to come.
- Well, I came, and now I want to go back.
- Laura's right.
We'll all get pneumonia.
Come on.
- What's that?
Can you see it?
- [Jack] There!
There it is.
- It's coming straight for us!
- Stay back.
Get down, get down!
- They've seen us, they've seen us!
