The Famous Five (1978–1979): Season 1, Episode 9 - Five on a Hike Together - full transcript

Another police car!

Thats the sixth weve seen today!

Do you think theyve caught him yet?

I should think so. Weve got a
map and a compass, and were lost.

Must be horrible to be hunted

Shouldnt try to escape from
prison, should he, Timmy?

Iwouldnt like to spend a night on
the moors with no sleeping bag or tent.

Or food!

Better get a move on. Whats the time?

Two oclock.

No its not. Its half past five! You
always forget to wind your watch up!



Come on. Weve got to find Blue Pond
Farm before dark! Theres the road.

Ah! A nice weekend hike! Followed
by a nice week of blisters!

You ought to try wearing
two pairs of socks, George.

I do, but it doesn't
make any difference!

Hello.
- Hello.

Have you seen a man
wearing a dark grey suite

and a striped shin anytime today?

The escaped prisoner?
- Thats right, son.

All weve seen is police cars!

Do you think youll catch him?

Weve got the moor on our
side! Where are you lot off to?

Blue Pond Farm.

Youre not you know! Its over
there, towards Beacons Ridge.

Thanks.



If you do see Williams, keep away from
him, okay?And give us a ring when you can.

Mind you, you should
be safe enough with him.

Timmy could deal with any convict.

I bet he could. Well take
care of yourselves. Goodbye.

Well, its a good thing we met them,
or we would have gone five miles

in the wrong direction.
- Sorry.

Doesnt matter. Come on.

Hes been seen in the area. You
take your dog up through there, Jeff,

I should go up through there.

Oh, Ive had it, Julian, I really have.
Well never make the farm before dark.

Oh, come on, George,
weve got to keep going.

What about that barn?

Okay, lets go and see.

Wait for me.

Come on, George!

Anybody here?

Bet its full of rats.

Well, if it is, Timmy will sort
them out! He must be hungry enough.

Sounds as if we found
this place just in time.

Whats for supper?

Sausages.

No, Timmy!

Baked beans.

Sit down, Timmy!

Oh, and heres some orange juice.

Well get an early stall in the morning.

Not too early!

Goodnight!

Sleep tight!

And mind the bed bugs don't bite!

Ah, weve lost him. Hes clean
away. Better knock it off.

Dick! Dick!

Timmy!

Dick, are you there?

Who is it?

Williams, o course! Ive
got the message from Nailer!

Two trees. Gloomy
water. Saucy Jane. Here.

Maggie knows already. I gave
her the other one. Okay? Im off.

Julian, wake up!

Go to sleep!

Williams!

Williams?

Williams?

Wheres he got to?

Wake up, Dick!

George! Anne! Wake up!

Wake up yourself!

Nice spring water for the tea!

Whats up?

He must have got tired of waiting!

Who must?

Youre not going to believe this, but
that escaped convict came here last night!

And whats more, he gave me a message!

You were dreaming!

Whats this then?

He threw it to me through the hole on the
wall. Dick, he said, are you there?

He didn't mean you!

Course not, but I was half asleep. Who
is it?, I said. Williams, he answered.

I bet you were scared!

Wouldnt you have been?

Anything else?

Yes, he said something
about this message from

Mails or someone. No it wasnt Mails.

Nailer! Thats it! Ah,
er, no, Ive forgotten.

Come on, Dick.

Trees, two trees, and
a gloomy river and

Saucy Jane!

Saucy Jane?

And he said, Annie knew. No, not Annie

Maggie! Maggie knew and
hed give her the other one.

Other what?

I dunno. Other one of
those maps I suppose.

Whats it mean?

Then, just as I was going to
sleep, another man turned up.

How long did he stay?

I dunno. I dropped off.

If Williams had a message from Nailer.
Nailer must be someone in prison!

Wed better get dressed
and then tell the police.

Stop!

We saw the convict.

He gave me a message.

One at a time. Now what happened?

Dick saw the convict.
- When was this?

Two oclockthis morning.

You were dreaming, son.

But I

Williams was captured at
eleven oclock last night.

Just outside Ullerton station.

So you couldnt have seen him
three hours later, could you?

But Dick saw him.

Never mind, hes back in prison, so
youve no need to worry about him.

Sorry to bother you.

Enjoy yourselves! Bye!

But it was two oclock!

Still is! Your watch stopped at
two oclock yesterday afternoon,

don't you remember?

You didn't wind it up.

So when you looked at it last
night it still said two oclock.

So the real time must have been

Well, before Williams
was recaptured at eleven.

Lets go and explain
it to the police, now!

No, its no good. Well just have
to solve this mystery ourselves.

Gloomy water! Not river!

Gloomy water! Right!
Thats what Williams said!

Well? Do we go there?

What do you think?

Gloomy Waters a good name for it!

Its a bit creepy.

Two trees, Gloomy
Water and Saucy Jane.

Do you think somethings
buried under the two trees?

Which two trees?

Look!

Come on.

Let's leave these here
and have a look inside.

I wonder what happened.

Afire I should think. Look at the
charred wood and the blacken walls.

This ist Two-Trees, this house!

But what are we looking for?

Im not sure.

Loot!

Whose loot?

Nailers. When he knew that
Williams was making a break for it

he gave him the massage to tell the rest
of the gang Dick, Maggie and Saucy Jane

where the stuff was.

Thats not bad.

I think they're coming in, quick hide!

Okay, Maggie, this is it.

Timmy.

I don't see why were being so careful.

Im not sure about Williams.
I wanted for ages at the barn.

Why didn't he show up?

Probably been nicked by then.

Maybe.

Seems okay.

Right, lets see if
the diamonds are there.

Of course theyll be there.
Cmon, the lakes at the back.

Diamonds!

Come on.

Whats up?

Nothing.

Its an old boathouse!

George! George! Come back.

Iwont be a minute.

Lets go and look for the
Saucy Jane. Is that thing safe?

Of course it is!

Whos there?

What do you want?

Theyve got George!

Excuse me, Im a bit lost. Iwonder
if you could tell me a way to Ullerton?

Well, its quite a way to Ullefion.

Oh no! Really?

Look, you take that path up there across
the hill to Ullerton. Now be off with you.

Thank you very much.

Its alright! I said I was lost.
Its the Saucy Jane! Its a boat!

In there?

No, they said something
about going to look for it.

Look!

Wheres the piece of
paper from Williams?

I know where the Saucy Jane is!

Where?

Look

These four are markers of some kind.
This is the Lake, there must be one spot

- here where you can
line up on the markers.

And that is where the Saucy Jane is!

But thats the middle of the lake!

Thats where they're heading.

Then they look for the markers.

Can you see the Saucy Jane?

Of course not! Shes at
the bottom of the lake!

What?

Youd hardly need a map to find her if
she was anchored the middle, would you?

Theyve found her, I think!

There she is!

Oh, the Saucy Jane! Fantastic, come on!

Shes quite deep.

Hes using a balloon as a marker buoy!

Why? Iwonder what hes going to do.

Down, and keep still,
they're coming back.

Now what are they up to?

I dunno. Lets got that boat!

Do you think its safe?

No. I don't. Not for the five of us.

Hey! Whats that?

A raft!

Looks okay. Better than the
boat. Easier to dive from, too.

Dive?

Come on, Dick! Lets get it launched.

Life jackets!

Good! Stick em on!

Right, lets go. Come on, Dick.

Okay. Just coming.

Shes down there!

The Saucy Jane?

I can see her!

Youre mad to try it!

George is right.

We cant get the boat up, can we?

Im going too!

Okay, Maggie. Lets go.

Dont get hooked on anything!

III try not to.
- Ready?

Yes.

Go!

Theres a waterproof bag.

We couldnt fix the rope to it!

But were going to!

What the...?

Who are they?
- How should I know?

Theyre diving for the stuff!
Nailers double-crossed me!

Look!

Its no good. Its not coming!

Stay where you are, you kids!

Paddle, paddle like mad!

Theyre gaining on us!

Youd better stop.

Dont think youll get away with this.

You wait til I get my hands on you!

Were sinking!

Theyre in trouble!

Hooray!

I took the bung out!

Hope she can swim!

Well, if she cant, she
got Dirty Dick to save her.

Professor Kirrin?

What on earths happened?
Where are the children?

In the cells.

In the cells?

Dont worry, Professor,
theyll be back in a moment.

Theyre just having a tour of the place!

They found the Fallonia jewels, which is
more than Interpol have been able to do

for the last six month!
- Good Heavens!

Hello Uncle Quentin!

Hallo Daddy!

Have you seen the jewels?

You are an incredible lot, arent you!

Just a quiet weekend
on the moors, you said.

I know we did, Daddy.
But we didn't promise!
