Timmy!
Timmy!
Come on then. Come on. Come

Oh, your poor ear. Still come on.
Its nearly healed. Come on then.
Wheres George?
How longs Timmy got
to wear that collar?
Oh Im taking it off now,
his ears almost healed.
He kept scratching the
stitches out. Timmy come!
Down, down, silly dog!
Super to see you!
- You too!
When are Julian an Dick arriving?
I don't think theyll be coming.
What?
Theyre in France.
But theyve got to come.
The summer wont be the summer
without the Famous Five together.
I know.
Ah, there you are! Come on, lets go for
a walk. III show you the old Roman Camp.
Hello.
Hello. Hey come down, but don't
let that dog run around loose.
What about yours?
Jet knows about digs. He helps.
Look what he nosed out this morning.
Thats Roman. Its offa shield.
Its super. Have you
found anything else?
One or two coins. Do you like swimming?
Yes, why?
Theres a good pool up there.
A pool! Fantastic!
Is it far?
No, just follow the path.
Thanks! Thats great. Come on, Timmy!
Hey, my names Guy. Whats yours?
Im George, thats Anne.
Okay, see you.
Come on, Timmy.
Looks lovely. I wish
wed brought our towels.
Yes. Hey look!
How did you do that?
What?
- Pop up like that.
I don't know whatyoure talking about.
Of course you do!
Look, do you mind? I'm trying to read!
What?
- Its raining!
Quick, its going to pour.
Theres an old ruined cottage
over there, make for that!
Oh, Im soaked.
At least this place keeps the rain
out and theres something to sleep on.
Oh look, someones left a candle.
Its alright, Timmy!
George!
There are people out there!
- Where?
Over there, I saw them.
Are you sure?
- Yes.
Hes gone.
Theyve gone, you mean.
Oh thank heavens for old Timmy!
Yeah, well, one things for certain,
Im not going back to sleep tonight!
Timmy!
Anyone at home?
Theyre here!
Seen Timmy?
Yes, hes outside chasing rabbits.
Youre meant to be in France!
Flew back yesterday.
You flew?
Yep, arrived at Kirrin last night.
Set up at crack of down since
when weve been hunting for you!
And a good thing too.
This place is haunted.
Haunted?
Well, maybe.
Anyway it was scary enough last night.
Hold on you two, what happened?
Somebody looked in through that window.
He was lit up by lightning.
Then Timmy barked and he vanished.
Ghosts?
Yes, and theres this mad boy
down in the old Roman camp.
He showed us a super pool to swim in.
Do you think he might have
anything to do with your ghosts.
No, it wasnt Guy. He was too big.
Well, III tell you what I think. Its a
well known fact that ghosts don't turn up
until dark, so lets
swim, then have breakfast.
Okay, good idea, yes.
Come on then.
This is him, the mad boy.
Hey Guy!
Feeling less grumpy today?
No, Im not! And my names not Guy!
See what I mean? Come
on, its just up there.
Hi! Come on in. Its great!
Well, how the heck?
Dont know how he did
it, but its a good trick!
Oh well, bombs away!
Timmy, be quiet.
Whats that?
Look!
Be quiet, Timmy.
You three wait here! Come on, Timmy!
Well?
Nothing, not a thing.
What?
Theres nothing out there!
Hey, look over here!
Balloons, paper lanterns!
They must have been lit up somehow
from inside, and then hung in the trees.
No wonder Timmy couldnt find anything!
So it wasnt ghosts after all!
No, but someone wanted us to
think that it was. And that means,
that someone is trying
to get us away from here.
Why?
I don't know, but theres
one way to find out!
How?
Whoever it is that wants us out of
here, will be watching us carefully.
If we go, they will come here themselves.
Only this time, well be watching them!
Hello children, are you leaving?
Yes, were going home.
Thats very wise, strange things
happen in that cottage at night.
You hurry away, take my advice!
Thanks, we will! Come on. Bye
She has done it.
Julian, why did we tell a
complete stranger our plans?
You didn't think she was a
real countrywoman, did you?
Oh
She was probably one
of the gang in disguise.
Now theyll really think
were out of the way.
Right, now this is the plan for tonight.
Quick, theres a car coming.
I hope the boys are alright!
Alright, check it out!
All clear. Theyve gone all right.
Good, weve wasted enough
time getting rid of the kids.
Now lets get on with it.
This plan of Pauls is hopeless!
A heavy slab be Wader,
what does that mean?
Pauls ill, demented.
So this is all weve got.
We don't even know if
its in this cottage.
It must be somewhere round
here and Im going to find it
if I have to rip up
every slab in the area.
Wait. Suppose this letter is a T,
not a D: that would make it water.
The well! Come on.
One, two, three, four, up.
Theres nothing here. Nothing.
Well rip the entire cottage to pieces.
Thatll take em all night!
Right!
Hello Timmy. Good boy.
Come on
Morning!
Fine pair of look outs!
Its all right. We saw them go.
Did they find anything?
Nope. They don't know where to look.
All they know is they're looking
for a heavy slab by water.
Theyve found nothing in the cottage,
so Julian an I think it
must be at the Roman camp!
Well, come on! Lets
get there before them!
Guy! Whats the matter?
Im not Guy! My names
Harry, Im Guys twin.
Twins! Of course!
We had a quarrel and now Guys gone.
Gone?
Two men, I came back
to make it up with Guy
and saw these two men dragging him off.
I tried to follow, but they
left a woman to keep watch.
She only left a few minutes ago.
Listen, Harry, Guy
cant be that far away
and we know these men are
looking for something here.
Theyd be wasting time
taking Guy miles away.
So if we can find them, we can find Guy?
Right! Lets get up that ridge.
We can see everything from there.
Come on, Timmy!
A heavy slab by water.
Hey, look. I think Ive found
it: a heavy slab by water!
Harry, Dick, gimme a hand.
One, two, three, drop.
Atunnel!
You were right, George!
Nowhere to, I wonder.
Over here!
Theres a tunnel here too!
These underground tunnels can be
real warrens: if youre not careful,
you end up going round in circles.
Look up there!
This must be the right way.
Okay, lets try it.
Another cave
Looks like a dead end.
Here, look!
Its locked and it feels empty.
There must be something in it!
Well find out later. This must
be what they're looking for.
Wed better get out before
they find these tunnels. Come on!
Wait. Wheres Timmy? Timmy! Oh, Timmy!
Oh look, Timmys found another way out.
Thats the direction of the Roman camp.
By my calculations, we must
be somewhere near there.
So Timmys tunnel could be a short-cut?
Right, lets try it!
A roof-fall.
Now well have to go back!
Timmy!
He wants to get at something.
Probably a rabbit. Timmy!
Jet! Its Jet!
Careful.
Ah, theres a bit of
rock here. Watch out!
Look out,Anne!
Mind!
Guy! Im sorry, really.
Quick! Theres no time. Theyve
only gone to get some heavy tools
and theyll be back soon!
Youll have to help me. I sprained
my ankle when they pushed me in here.
Come on. Up you get.
At least theyve left the rope!
They knew I couldnt
climb outwith my ankle.
Anne, take a look up
there. But be careful.
Yeah.
Careful. Dont slip!
Theyre coming.
Right. Lets take cover.
Okay. You lot home, fast!
Most interesting. A
very interesting story.
Well, I suppose wed better take
a look inside this mysterious bag.
Its empty!
But it cant be!
Well, I cant see a crook going
to all that trouble for nothing.
Ah! Here we are: a false bottom!
A blueprint!
Well, I suppose wed better get an
expert scientist to take a look at this.
But weve got one here! My father!
Its true, Sir. Uncle Quentin
will know what this is.
Well, if you think he wouldnt mind.
George.
Dad!
Dad!
What is it?
Can you come? The
Inspector wants your help.
The Inspector? What about?
A blueprint.
A blueprint? What blueprint?
There are only two copies of this in the
world. Its one of our most top-secret
projects and this is the
Professors own initialled copy!
III have it returned by
police messenger at once.
Yes, but Im absolutely
astonished. Thank you, Inspector.
Oh, don't thank me, Sir. Thank them.
Yes, indeed! Well done, all of you!
Well, I better get after those crooks.
But Im afraid theyll be long gone by now.
I don't think so, Sir.
With any luck, they're
still down the shaft.
Well, well! Isnt there anything
you lot havent thought of?
You find a vital state secret that
nobody even knew had disappeared,
and then you manage to trap the crooks
into the bargain. Im only surprised
you didn't tap them on the
shoulder and arrest them!
We would have done, but we
were in a bit of a hurry.
I should think you were!
You see, we all wanted to
get back in time for tea.
Timmy!
Come on then. Come on. Come
on then! Oh, whos a good boy!
Oh, your poor ear. Still come on.
Its nearly healed. Come on then.
Wheres George?
How longs Timmy got
