Youll have plenty of
time for resting now.

Oh! Im sorry, I cant

I don't want any.

Oh, come along now,
Professor, you must eat.

'(got to keep your
strength up tor the voyage.

What voyage?

We embark tomorrow. Hope
youre a good sailor.

Pottersham, let me go. I wont
say a word about this to anyone.

Get back! Youre my future, Professor.
Ive been well paid for what I know,

but Im getting a fortune for you.

You don't think Im going
to pass that up, do you?

III never work for
them, whoever they are!

Yes, you will, Professor. The alternative
will be so unpleasant youll be happy to.

But whatll happen
to my wife, my family?

Well, they survive. Eat your
breakfast. III see you tonight.

Oh, its closed!

The Tower, thats what
I really wanted to see.

Must be an amazing view.

Sort of place they locked up damsels.

No wonder they were distressed!

Lets go back. Im hungry.

Shame, though isnt it that it was shut.

Look, the thickness of those walls.

How old is it, Julian?

700 years it says here.

Whats for lunch?

Sausages.
- And?

And last one back cooks them!

Tim, where have you been?
Could you smell the sausages?

These binoculars are fantastic, George.

Well, be careful with them,
they were my christmas...

And birthday present!

Everything seems so close!

You can even see the
jackdaws on top of the castle.

Here, let me have a look.

Theyre terrific, why arent they mine?

Because they were my birthday...

And christmas present!

Theres a man at the window! Over there!

What?

But the west wings been
closed off for repairs.

See for yourself. It
could be a workman though.

Hey, shes right. Isnt he near.

Theres something very
familiar about the face.

Mr. Alfredo, have you got
a newspaper we could borrow?

Newspaper? What would I do with a
newspaper? We never have them here.

Oh yes, we do. What you think
the fish comes wrapped in then?

Only one day old. The man says to me:
I sell you fresh fish and old news.

If thats yesterdays paper,
please may we have a look at it?

Sure.

Thats him, Professor Terry-Kane!

Thats the man I saw in the tower.

Hey, who is this man?

Its a friend of my fathers.
We think hes in danger.

Danger? Danger? If you have
danger you come to Alfredo!

Thanks, we will!

Father is right you know? Professor
Terry-Kane isnt a traitor.

You don't know that.

But hes being held
prisoner at the castle.

You don't know that either.
He might just be hiding there

before fleeing the country.
Theres one way to find out though.

How?

By going there tonight!

Hello.

Hello Mum?
- Oh, George, hello love.

Is dad there?

No, hes out. He wont
be back till tonight.

Tell me about Faynights Castle.

Is it as lovely as it
looks in the pictures?

Yes, yes, its beautiful. Are you sure
Dad wont be back til this evening?

George, theres nothing
the matter, is there?

No, no, just tell him we think
we know where Terry-Kane is.

What? George, are you sure?

Its all clear.

Listen, can you hear music?

No?

I thought I heard a piano.

So did I.

Nerves. If we don't move soon, III
start hearing things. Cmon round here!

Down there!

I bet this place is haunted.

Well soon find out.

Whats that?

Its just an old knife.

What a relief.

Ghosts don't clatter though.

Yeah, but they do play the piano.

Must be what we heard when we came in.
- Oh don't!

Hey, its still warm!

Someone has been here recently.

Come on.

It seems to be locked,
theres no way out.

Well find a way out somehow.

Watch out for these stairs.

Shall we go in?

Look at Timmy!

Yuh, hold him, George, but be ready!

Who is it? Potters ham?

Now don't be frightened, Professor.

Please put those torches out. I
cant see with the light in my eyes.

Oh, III go and get a
candle. I saw one upstairs.

Who are you?

Do you remember me, Professor?
Im Quentin Kirrins daughter.

Kirrin? Is he here then?

No, no, no. We saw
you through the window.

Weve come to get you out.

Out! Then this isnt one
of Pottershams tricks?

No! Come on, can you walk?

Yes, yes, yes, I can walk. Thank you.

Dont worry, well soon have you out.

You think so?

Potters ham!

Kids! Dyou think Im going to let three
brats and a dog ruin years of planning?

Do yer?

Yhold that dog or III shoot him!

You kids will be sorry
for this, I promise you.

Quick, please help,
theyve been captured.

Ey, whassamatter?

Who have... the other children?

Yes, theres an important scientist
being held prisoner in the castle

and another one has betrayed
him to foreign country.

Well, where are they now?

Oh, theres no way in.
The castles locked.

No way in? Thats what you think.

Jekky, Fredo, everyone, get ready!

Come on all of you. Come on all of you.

Where?

What you think, Bufflo?

Loan do it.

What on earth is that?

Its one of Bufflos
knives with string attached!

Its Anne, she made it!

Dont make a noise. Pottershams armed.

Think of yfriends! Now pull it in.

Hes got a gun.

Is good, they think quick!

A rope ladder!

Excellent! Excellent!
Then we can all climb down.

Come on.

What about Timmy?

Well have to put him on the end and
lower him down. Dick, you go first,

tell Bufflo whats happening. I
cant shout, Pottersham might hear...

But be quick, we got to get
the professor out of here!

Bravo, bravo.

Okay, Professor, youre next.

Will you be alright?

Yes, I'am all right.

Bravo.

Pottershamy car! He must have gone out!

Thats him, Pottersham!

Okay. Bums'.!

Hey, let go of me!

I don't think so, Pottersham!

Here, Ive got his gun!

Here!

Let go of me!

Ey, Alfredo! We captured him!

Who?

The bad scientist they told
us about. He came down here,

asking all sorts of questions about
the children. He was ever so rude,

but we figured him out all right.
We locked him in the caravan,

he didn't half make a noise
so we put snake in with him!

What are you talking
about? We capture him!

You? Then, who we put in
the caravan? Oh, cor blimey!

Uncle Quentin!

Father!

This is your father?

Yes I am!And III have the
police on you for holding me.

But father, they were only trying to...

I have been set upon, threatened
and menaced by wild animals.

Quentin!

Who... Mark!

Good to see you.
- Oh hello.

These chidren of you,
they have saved me!

They have?

Pottersham wanted to put me on a
boat to a foreign country, forever!

They thought you were
Pottersham, Father!

Me, Pottersham. I wish hed been in there.
Especially when they put the snake in!

So friends?

Well, alright, friends.

Come, we celebrate.

Everything okay?

Well, we cant thank you enough.

You see Pottersham is
an expert on old castles.

The boat I was to be taken in would
have landed just down the coast.

What better place than
Faynights Castle to keep me safe?

Ah, but he now know who
is caravanning nearby, eh?

Youre safe among friends now. We have
to take our friend to the police now.

What shall I tell your mother?

Well, nothing much has
happened to tell her.

Just say, the FIVE are
having a wonderful time!
