The Famous Five (1978–1979): Season 3, Episode 7 - Five Go Down to the Sea: Part 2 - full transcript

The coves are no place
to play around in.

They can be dangerous, so stay away!

You see those rocks down
by the Tremannon coast?

Thats where the pirates
came to wreck ships.

How?

Back up the coast was a
lighthouse to keep the ships

that sailed around ere off the rocks.

If they followed that
light, they were safe.

The pirates light is flashing again!

I know, because Ive seen it!

What's this light over there?
- The pirates's light.



Timmy!

Are you alright?
- Yeah!

I was walking along the beach and this
guy comes up and threw me down here.

Quick! Lets get going.

Lets try and get in round the back.

Its the pirates ladder.

Oh Dick! He may still be up there!

Theres not much down
here. Im going up.

So am I.

Go on.

Timmy, if you coming up, be careful.

I don't like this place.

Oh, Im frightened.

Its been empty for years.



Well soon find out. Come
on. And lets stick together.

Maybe we ought to get help.

Whats that then? Its hot.

It must be the lamp we saw flashing.

Wed better stick together,
there might be someone around.

A boat! At this time of night!

Odd. Do you think theres been a wreck?

Pirates. They must be!

What can we do?

Go and get help!

Where from? The Penruthlan Farm?

Well, theres only one
other thing we can do.

What?

Take a look for ourselves.

Im frightened.

Lets go back.

But we tell you we saw a boat and
it looked like it was on the rocks!

Oh yes, just like you thought you
saw Yan drowning on the first day.

But we saw it! And it looked
like there were men with lights!

So where is it now then?

Oh, there you are then!

Morning.

Look, Im not one to complain
but somebodys been messing around

with my Clopper outfit.

And this horse is a very valuable
prop and might easily get broken.

So if it was any of you lot, keep
your hands off of it. Understood?

We shall be leaving at
first light upon the morrow.

And Ive got work to do!

Told you he wouldnt believe us.

Maybe Mr. Penruthlan
doesn't want to believe us!

He was heading towards the
cove himself last night.

If only we had some proof!

Maybe we have!

Be careful, it doesn't look very safe.

Its gone!

Is it? Are you sure?

Well, its not here, is it?

Well, who could have taken it then?

Here! You don't think it
was Mr. Penruthlan, do you?

What makes you say that?

Well, we saw him going
towards the cove last night.

So what?

I wish it was that Mr. Binks!

What dyou say that for?

Well, somehow I don't like him,
after the way he shouted at us.

Well, we were messing about
with his props, werent we?

Props! More like a load of old rubbish!

I wonder why he is so
tetchy about that horse.

Here, were supposed to be
looking for a pirate's lamp.

If it was ever here!

Course it was here!

Oil!

What?

Paraffin oil! Its still wet!

That proves it.

So it was the pirates!

But no ones going to believe us!

Whats that?

Somebodys down there!
You two stay here!

Oh, no way!

Are you alright?

Bit dusty.

Lets get out of here!

This leads up to the
roof, its our only chance.

Hey!

Weve made it, were at the top.

Oh blast.

Well never get across there!

How will you know,
theres a ledge there.

Well, I hate heights,
III never make it.

Course you will.
Follow me, scaredy cat!

Okay?

Yeah, Im fine, its alright.

Oh no.

But if it crumble?

I cant go on. I feel dizzy.

Its alright. Im behind
you. Oh, don't look down.

Come on. Dont be silly,
youre holding us up!

Come on, Anne. Its alright. Follow me.

There we are, done it.

Its alright. Now come
on, youve nearly done it.

Its alright, Julian, III get you.

Come on.

Hold me.
- I've got you.

Come on, Anne, it's alright.

Just a bit further now.
- Go on, get moving.

Look, wheres Timmy going?

Theres Timmy. Hes found something.

Theres something down
there. Scuse, Tim.

Atunnel!

Do you think this is the way
the pirates used to get out?

Lets take a look!

Let Timmy go first. He found it!

No! It might be dangerous!

Timmy doesn't seem to
think so, do you, Tim?

Oh dear!

Look, have you lot got your torches?
- Yes.

Right. Come on.

Wheres Timmy?

Around here somewhere. Keep together.

Listen!

Its coming from down there!

Were coming, Tim! Dont worry.

Thats funny, Timmy must
be round here somewhere!

Look, a door!

Lets get him out.

Be careful.

Yes, we don't know where it leads to.

Than was easy'.!

Timmy! Good boy!

Looks like supplies.

Crikey!

Gold!

Of course, thats it! Our pirates
arent pirates at all, they're smugglers!

Help!

Let us out!

Oh, its no good.

Oh Tim. Why dyou
have to get us trapped?

It wasnt his fault!

Then whose is it?

Now stop it! This isnt
getting us anywhere, is it?

Someone from the farm is bound to
miss us. Theyll send a search party.

Huh! Some chance! And
when? Today? Tomorrow?

And even if they traced us to the
tower, theyd never find us here!

Hey, there must be something
in here we could use.

Abram Trelawney, 1867.

I wonder what happened to him?

What is it, boy?

Theres someone out there!

Hey, get off! Its Yan!

The tunnels clear.
We must get out. Now!

Come on!

Wait!

In case they come back
for us or the gold!

This way, come on. Come on!

This way.

But where are we?

The tides rising fast! Wed better hurry,
we don't want to stay here all night.

Theres a boat coming!

It looks like Mr. Penruthlan.

It is him!

He must be bringing another load.

Let's escape.

We cant! Well be seen!

Then were trapped!

Oh this is hopeless.
We cant hide forever!

Yes, one wave would
knock us off the rocks!

Then well have to take the
pirates path and chance it. Come on.

This was the escape the
pirates used years ago.

Why didn't we use it straight away?

Im still not sure if its safe.
The roof has fallen in in some pans.

Where does it go?

To the barn at the Penruthlan Farm.

Very convenient! Yan!

This is the trapdoor that opens
into the corner of the barn...

Well! Lets go up then.

...which is usually loaded
down with sacks ofgrain.

Oh well, get ready to push!

Obviously ready for
Mr. Penruthlans return!

Better be quiet, there
might be somebody up there.

Whats up?

All clear!

That was the Guv. He was
looking a bit furtive.

Yan, take my torch cos
I have to lift Timmy up.

Good boy.

Let's put these bells onto the
trapdoor, so we hear the smugglers.

This should fix somebodys game!

Okay, Dick?

Im gonna phone the police.

Ive been looking for you!

Mr. Penruhlan!
- Quick, run!

No, no!

I must have done a
better job than I thought!

We know youre a smuggler!

We saw you down in the cove in a boat!

No, no, youre wrong. Im
trying to trap the smugglers!

Then how did you get
out of the trapdoor?

What trapdoor?
- It was loaded down!

Look, I havent got time for
riddles. lam a policeman.

If you don't believe
me, ring the station.

Theres a trapdoor in the barn.

Theres a tunnel from
the cove to the farm!

And theres gold bullion in the tunnel.

You two stay here.

Come with me.

Blast, theyve escaped!
Show me where that gold is!

Gone! Its all gone!

It could be anywhere by now!

There they are!

Now, weve been looking for
you all over the countryside.

Are you alright?

What are you doing?

When you went missing,
I put a call through.

Excuse me. But I and my Barnies have
been put to quite enough trouble as it is.

So I shall away.

Yes, thank you. And goodbye.

Kids!

And as for you lot. Come on!

Now what were they smuggling anyway?

Gold bullion.
- And diamonds.

Yes, and diamonds!

Well, I hope the children
werent in any trouble.

Not at all. And here
are some eggs and jam.

Thats very kind of you.

Come on children. Weve got to leave.

Thats it! I saw the Guv in the barn
changing the packet in Cloppers head.

Doing what?

That should see us alright
for a bit, shouldn't it?

Weve got to get that head.

Cor blimey Guv. I don't reckon
weve done too badly, dyou?

Grab a hold of this weight.

Hey! Stop him.

Get away, cows!

Leave that boy alone!
Let this boy go, I say!

This is my property! What
do you think youre doing!

Uncle Quentin!

Whats this? The diamonds?

Yes.

And you mean this is
one of your robbers?

Not Clopper! Them!

What a great set-up! The Guv and Mr.
Binks could travel from coast to coast

using the Barnies as cover,
and smuggling all the time.

Yes, but thats over now weve
recovered all the gold and diamonds.

Yin!

By the way, youve got to
have this trapdoor locked.

Never! And before you go,
heres a present for you.

Well need him for evidence, of
course, but after that, hes all yours.

And to think, Clopper knew all
the time. Why didn't you tell us?
