"Whoosh." "[woman] Hurry up, everyone, or we'll miss our train." "Anyone seen Roger?" "Look out!" "Pirates on the starboard bow." "Someone fetch Roger." "Prepare to fire the cannon." "Taxi's waiting." "Aye aye, Captain." "Boom!" "Missed, you blackguards!" "Taxi's here." "You'll never take me alive." "Cheerio, then, have a nice summer." "If I close my eyes, that mess just won't be there." "[train's whistle]" "Come along." "Come on, nearly there." "[Tannoy] The train now standing at platform one is the 0900 hours to Glasgow." " Calling at Southampton, Oxford..." " Ooh." "You need to watch where you're going." "Or you might not get there." "Woof!" "Go on." " Here we are." "I need to sit down." " Bagsy the window." "Good girl." "You got it?" "Stop it, Roger." "No." "Do as you're told, Roger." "I wish Father was here." "I know, darling." "We all do." "But he has to go with his ship." "That's what being a captain means." "Where is his ship?" "Hong Kong." "Where's Hong Kong?" "The South China Sea." " Where's the South China Sea?" " South of China." "He left you these, though." "To say "happy holiday"." "He's given me a book on the stars." "A journal." "I can write hundreds of stories now." "This is Father's knife." "He left you a note." ""Dear John, I'm giving you my knife so you can whittle sticks, cut rope, and fight off Tatty's pirates." "I'm so sorry I can't be there to do that with you." "Father."" "[guard's whistle] [guard] All aboard!" "This train is ready to leave!" "I want a knife." "When you're John's age." "Ohh." "Excuse me." "You're excused." "Sorry, but this compartment's taken." "Our mother will be back in a minute." "Good for her." "Hey!" "Sorry, mate." "No room at the inn." "Unless you wanna bunk up with my five noisy young'uns." "Oh, no, that's all right." "Thank you." "Put her down." "Not a word of this to anyone, or I will find you and I will shut you up." "And I will set my pirates on you and you." "Be warned." "What's he doing?" "Shut the window, quick!" "Who was that?" "A pirate, obviously." "I don't like that man." "Everything all right?" "Mother, ah... there was this ahm... [makes choking sound] Tatty!" "Don't be horrible to Roger." "Excuse me, madam, I was looking for your husband." "My husband?" "He's in Hong Kong." "Oh, I do apologise." "Wrong husband." "[distant train's whistle]" "Ringman!" "You're travelling light." " Where's the rest of it?" " Coming by road." " Hello, Mr Jackson." " Hello, Mr Jackson." "Thank you." "Who wants to ride in the back of the truck?" " Me!" "I do!" " No, me!" " There's Holly Howe!" " Look, Roger." "There's one!" "Look, John!" " We're here." "Hello, Mrs Jackson!" " [horn toots]" "Stay!" " Roger, look at the sheep." " Stay, lad, stay." "Wow." " Look at that black one." " All present and accounted for." " You've grown a bit." " Mrs Jackson, I've grown, too." "Have you now?" "See you've not got any quieter, mind." "Father's in Hong Kong." "Is he now?" "I expect he's glad of the rest." "Same rooms as last year?" " Can we go up to Darien first?" " You're lucky I'm too tired to say no." " Race you to Darien Peak." " Tea's at six." "Not a minute later, mind." " That means you, too, Mr Jackson." " You know me, Mrs Jackson." "Come on." "There's our lake." "It's not our lake." "We're just visiting our holiday abode." " What's an abode?" " A house." "Susan swallowed a dictionary." "The undiscovered island." "It's still there!" "[Susan] Islands can't go anywhere." "You have to go to it." "Father said he'd take us this year." "Father's not here." "I've just had a brilliant idea." " Come on." " I know how to get us there." "She's a beauty, in't she?" "She could do with a run out." "I don't get the time so much these days." "L's too busy chasing sheep." "Crumbs." "[Tatty] Please, Mother." "We'll live there for ever and ever." " Not for ever." "Just for the holidays." " We could camp." "We'll sleep under the stars." "We'll build huts out of leaves and sticks." "Hunt goats, skin them." "Then roast them on a fire." "I don't like goats." "They won't like you much if you roast them on a fire." "John's captain." "We're his crew." "We set sail tomorrow in Swallow." "Oh, do you now?" "And what does Mr Jackson have to say about that?" "He doesn't mind." "He's very kind." " I am very kind." " Yeah, the wrong kind." "John's never sailed all of you across the lake before." "And the island's three miles away at least." "No, but I can do it." "Father said I did really well last year." "I can't let you go off into the unknown without Father and I discussing it first." "How about we set up camp in the garden instead?" "Couldn't you write to Father and discuss it?" "We can all write." "Please, Mother." "It's our destiny!" " All right, then." " Let's get the pencils!" "Don't forget the 'destiny' part." "Supper first." "Letters later." "Pencils away." "Mind, mind!" "It's hot." "What is it?" "Goat." " How long will the letter take?" " To a ship in the South China Sea?" "Anything up to three weeks." "But it's a matter of life and death." "In life and death situations, it's advisable to send a telegram." "I'd better do it, darling." "Telegrams have to be short." "Come on, Roger, let's get a fishing net." "Coming!" "Slow down!" "Hello." "Hello." "I understand you've got rooms to let." "I'm afraid I only have one left." "Because of the carnival." "Oh, well, one will be adequate." "I can assure you it's more than adequate." " Does it have two beds?" " Naturally." " Breakfast included?" " Breakfast won't be necessary, thanks." " Are you here for the fishing?" " Of a kind." "We're writers chasing a story, but... keep that to yourself." "If you knew how many secrets I'm party to..." "I'm like the tomb." "Maybe you know an old newspaper colleague of ours." "We believe he lives round here." "There's just the one newspaper man round here." "Jim Turner." "But he's away a lot." "He's a travel writer." "So he says." "Yes, that's him." "Good old Jim." "No, it must be a different Jim." "I'm not one to gossip but this one can be very rude." "We'll have to have a stern word with him." "Have you seen him recently?" "Haven't seen sight nor sound." "He lives on the lake in an eyesore of a boat." "On the lake?" "That sounds romantic." "Given the right circumstances." " Where does he keep his boat?" " Could be anywhere." "He moves it all the time." "That's a very big lake." "[John] There's something down there!" "Wait for me." "Wait for me!" "I'm going to catch you, Roger!" " What's that?" " A houseboat." "It's deserted." "The crew must have drowned in a terrible storm." "I'd like to live on a boat." "Father lives on a boat." "He lives on a destroyer." "[Susan] Look for the flat stones." "Is that flat?" "John!" "We're for it now." "It's just an old boat." "There's nobody on it." "[Lazlov] Thank you, children." "Thank you." "He thinks he gave us the slip on the train." "Well, let's let him think that, for now." "[Parrot squawks]" "Susan!" "Susan." "It's the man from the train." "He is a pirate." " Stop making things up!" " Look!" "Look at that strange boat." "It's Captain Flint and his parrot." "Run away!" "[Mrs Jackson] Mrs Walker, can you come down a minute, please?" "I'm sorry about your boat, Mr Turner, but I'm not sure what it's got to do with us." "Mrs Jackson says you've got quite a brood." "And I saw four children." " That hardly means that they were mine." " All right, well show me I'm wrong." " Are you always this rude?" " That was me being polite." "Weren't you on our train?" "No, I never travel by train." " [whispers]:" "That's a lie." " Keep Schtum." "John, tell Mr Turner you didn't break his window." "This must be yours." "John, apologise at once." "It was an accident." "John didn't mean to." " And that's the man that..." " I'm sorry." "All right." "Well, we'll say no more about it." "But just a word to the wise." "If you go near my boat again..." "I won't be quite so understanding next time." "[Mrs Walker] Thank you." "John will pay for the damage." "No wonder he's single." "Even his own sister finds him impossible." "Who knows what's going on in that boat?" "Something fishy." "And I don't mean with nets." "You should have told me straightaway." "Sorry." "You need to be more responsible, John, just as I know you can be." "Go on, go to bed." "All of you." "I told you he was a pirate." "Well done." "Mother won't let us go to the island now." "This is the worst holiday ever." "[birdsong]" "[bicycle bell rings]" "The postman." "[chickens clucking]" "Door." "[dog barks]" " There you go, lad." " Thank you." "It's arrived!" " Mine!" " Stop it, I'm being a ship!" "I want to give it to Mother." "Excellent sailing." " Is it dispatches?" " Can I read it?" "It's written in special captain's code." "Better let John read it." "What's so funny?" ""Better drowned than duffers." "If not duffers, won't drown."" "What's a duffer?" "That's Father's name for somebody who's..." "who's not very good at anything." "Then I'm not a duffer." "Then you won't drown." "And if you do, then you are." "And good riddance." " Without the 'good riddance' bit." " But does it say yes?" "[Susan] That's up to mother." "Father trusts me." "Or he wouldn't have sent the telegram, would he'?" "But can I trust you?" "Yes." "And I promise I'll look after everybody." "And you can have a nice rest from all our noise." "Please say yes." "You'll need some tents." " Hooray, hooray!" " And plenty of supplies." " Where will we get tents?" " Mr and Mrs Jackson have some." "Roger, stay here, pet." "You, me and Vicky are going to have a lovely time." "You can't swim well enough, darling." "Roger." "Roger!" "[sobs]" "Well, if you fall in, you won't be in your bathing suit." "Come on, Roger!" "Come on!" "Good boy, Roger." "Don't look at me, darling, look at Susan." "Come on." "You're doing so well." "I didn't know you could swim this well." "Come on!" "Come on, Roger!" "Come on, a little bit further." "Nearly there now!" "'Yes!" "'Yes!" "Good swimming, Roger." "I can go!" "Stay there, ladies." "Betty, get back here or you'll go in the pot!" "Pull, pull." "Pull, pull." "[Mr Jackson] That goes round there." "Loop it over." "There we have it." "How's that, Mrs Jackson?" "I don't know how you get through these." "Do you walk out in the yard in them?" "[laughter]" "One, two, three." "And then fill up the pockets with stones." "Are you going to help?" "[Mrs Jackson] Essentials only, mind." "After all that, no wind." "We'll have to whistle for it." "[gently whistles]" "Come on, John." "You have to." "No, it's stupid." "[whistles]" "[leaves rustle in breeze] [whistles]" "Swallows for ever." "[wind whistles]" "Wait for me!" "He gets seasick." "Captain John will now introduce his crew." "Able Seaman Tatty Walker." "In charge of the ship's log." "It's very important to keep a record of a voyage for posterity." "Ship's Boy Roger Walker." "I don't want to be ship's boy." "I want to be lookout." "That's what the ship's boy does." "Keep your eyes peeled." "Master Mate Susan Walker." " Master Mate, sure you've got everything?" " Mm-hm." " Oh." " Remember Tatty can't use matches." "Hmph!" " You've a fine crew here, Captain." " Aye aye, Mother." " Here's the wind, lad." " All aboard!" "You might as well take this." "Although I know how much you all hate cake." "Big cheer for Mrs Jackson." "Hip hip... [all]" "Here's to Swallow and all who sail in her." "Bye." " Bye!" " Bye!" "Remember, keep your eye on the flag and you won't miss a Gybe." "[Mrs Jackson] I want that boat back in one piece." "Or Mr Jackson will have your guts for garters." "And no sailing at night." "That's one of the deepest lakes in the whole of England!" "They'll be back before tea." "Prepare the chart, Able Seaman Tatty." "Aye aye, Captain." "Is this the South China Sea?" "Ah..." "I think we're here." "We still have miles to go." "[thunder rumbles]" "[wind whistles]" " [sail flaps]" " Gybe ho!" " [thud]" " Ohhh!" " Look what you made me do." " It wasn't my fault." "It was." "You're meant to keep your eye on the flag." "Hey, I'm the captain, you're only the mate." "You can't tell me what to do." "That's all our food!" "Wait, I think I can get it." "It's like the man-overboard test father taught me." " Ready, boat?" " Ready!" "Lee ho!" "Susan, when I give you the signal, grab the box." "And don't mess it up." "I never messed it up." "Steady." "Steady now." "Steady, not too fast." " Now, Susan!" " No, John!" "[Roger] It's sinking!" "If that was a man, he would be fish food by now." "Now look what you've done, stupid." "Now we're gonna starve to death." "That was your fault." "You're a terrible captain." "You're a terrible crew." "I don't want to starve to death." "I want to go home." "No, only cowards turn back." "This is our destiny, John." "There it is, look!" " There's nowhere to land." " We have to go closer." "Over there!" "There's a little beach." "We made it!" "Go on, Tatty, you name it." "I hereby name this Walker Island and claim it for our own." "Swallows for ever!" "[all chuckle]" "At last!" "Whoo-hoo!" "Wheee!" "We're on an island in the middle of a giant ocean!" "This is the place." "I wonder if a bear lives here?" "Look what I've found." " It's a fireplace." " You know what this means?" "Pirates!" "Are they coming back?" "No." "It's just some old fireplace that hasn't been used in years." " Can I light it?" " You're not allowed to use matches." "The matches were in the box with the food." " Great." " I'm hungry." "Well, this is fun." "They'll be wanting hot food when they get here." "I used to camp out for days when I was their age." "Did you now?" "Do they let city folk camp in parks?" "I wouldn't know." "I grew up in the Highlands." "The hills were my park." "Big parks, those." "Wouldn't wanna be a park-keeper, mind." "Hard enough getting certain folk to mow the lawn around here." "[shipping forecast on radio]" "We're Walkers, Mrs Jackson." "We don't give in that easily." "[thunder rumbles] [chatter]" " Oh, my gosh, it's so wet." " Quick, quick, quick." "No, no!" "No, they're mine!" " [shrieks]" " No!" " Quick, quick, quick!" " We're done!" "We're done!" "[both shriek]" " We're done!" " We win!" " You're not in, you're not in." " [both laugh]" "I think we won that one." "[distant thunder rumbles]" "[Roger sighs] I'm starving to death here." "Me, too." "[screaming]" "Mrs Jackson's cake!" "Oh, food!" "Cake!" " I love cake." " Let me get a bit." "Don't hog it." "Look." "Fire." "[Roger] It's gone." "I wish we had a fire." "No sign, then?" "More gumption than I gave them credit for." "I'm so glad they can come up here and do all the things I took for granted." "They're cooped up inside too much at home." "It's not good for them." "I don't want them frightened of the world." "Yeah, you're right, lass." "If life was always 'early to bed', we'd never learn owt." "[owl hoots]" "Boo!" "Mother gave it to me." " Goodnight." " Night." "You should see the stars." "They're never like this in Portsmouth." "I wish I had a knife." "To fight off the pirates." "There aren't any pirates." "That's just a game." "Night, you lot." "Alloallocallacazabraoolatcasoola!" " What?" " That's 'Island' for 'goodnight'." "[exhales]" "So the exhausted crew settled down for their first night on dry land." "Able Seaman Tatty kept watch, the threat of danger always upon them." "It was going to be a long night." "[hums]" "[Zukin] It's dark, he's alone." "What are we waiting for?" "Don't be so impatient." "He'll have to make contact with his superiors soon." "We need that name and the Secret Service don't hand them out on business cards." "We could just go and ask him." "Then kill him." "Go home." "Have some dinner." "You know our orders." "[in Russian]:" "It's not just him we're after." "The papers are somewhere on that boat." "[distant bird call] [distant bird call]" "John... we're on the island!" "Where did you think we were?" "You coming?" "Where are you going?" "On a top secret mission." "You'll see." " Are you going to wake the others?" " No." "Wait a minute." "What's the mission?" "To find the secret of fire." "Where are they?" "How should I know?" "Nobody tells me anything." "You need to do your teeth." "I'll get your toothbrush." "Roger?" "Roger?" "[gasps]" "Susan!" "The pirates have killed John and Tatty." "There's Tatty's skull." "That's not Tatty." ""No trespassing." "Danger of death."" "That sounds bad." "Signed: "The Amazons."" "How much further?" "Who knows?" "We have to keep going." "I want to go back!" "Come on, Tatty Mouse, you can do it." "I didn't know you could climb so well." "Who lives here?" "Oooh!" "Yuck!" "[screams]" "[screams] [screams]" "Snake got your tongue, has he?" "[chuckles]" "He won't hurt you unless you hurt him, and then he'll bite and bite good." "Identify yourselves." " Ah..." "I'm John Walker." " Captain John Walker." "Captain, eh?" "I'm Able Seaman Tatty Walker, aged nine-and-a-half." "Our ship landed on an undiscovered island but we lost all our stores overboard." "That was careless of your captain." "We saw your fires and we need to know how to make one." "It's a matter of life and death." "I've got something." "I've got something, too." "Reel it in." " What is it?" " I'm not sure." "Yuck, it's an old coat." "Well, we can't cook that." "We need a good straight stick and a good dry piece of bark." "Get a tight grip between your hands." "And you push into it." "See?" "It's smoking already." "Embers." "Spark of life." "Now, you throw this into your tinder stack." "And you pick it up." " Pick it up?" " Don't be frightened." "Look, see?" "[blows gently]" "[continues blowing]" "It's like magic!" "Are you on your boat, Captain?" "There's an old houseboat out on the lake." "Can you take a message to the man who lives on it?" "You mean Captain Flint?" "So that's his name." "We know him by his alias." "Jim Turner." "Tell him two strangers been going about asking a lot of questions." "Tell him Old Billy thought he'd want to know." "But don't hang about." "He don't like visitors." "Don't you forget now." "A good straight stick and a piece of bark." "And if that don't work... try these." "[both chuckle]" "Do you eat them with the head on'?" "I'm not sure." "People eat brains, though." "I think we'd better take it off." "Will it hurt it?" "It's dead." "It won't feel a thing." "You're making a dog's dinner of that." "Eugh!" "[boom]" "Down." "Who are they?" "Amazon." "That was the name on the sign." "The Jolly Roger." "I don't feel very jolly." "He's left the door open." "This is our chance." "I'll search the boat, you follow him." "See if he tries to make contact." "[groans]" "Stay here." "I won't be long." "Hello?" "[parrot's cry]" " Hell0." " Hell0." "So you're not just a vandal." "You're a spy, too." "I'm not a vandal." "Or a spy." "Then why are you snooping through my things?" " I came to give you a message." " I'm sure you did." "You're a liar." "You broke my window and you didn't own up." "Lying is not very brave, is it?" "I bet your father must be very disappointed." " I'm not a liar." " Yes, you are." "And you're scared, too." "Aren't you?" "I know about fear, John, and I can see it in your eyes." "Now you're trespassing on private property which is a criminal offense." "I only came to give you a message." "Do you want to hear it?" "No, I do not want to hear another word from you." "Clear off." "You denied being on our train." "You're the liar." "You're hiding from someone." "If I were you, I would forget about that... and everything you've seen on here." "This is not a game." "Do you understand?" "This is not a game." "The boy's seen what he's hiding." "He'll have to make contact with his superior now." "What did he say to you, John?" " Nothing." " [boom]" "They just shot at us." "Captain Flint's pirates." "He set them on us." "They're not getting away with that." "We're going back to get the others." "We need a full crew." " They were in a boat." " It's from the pirates that shot at us." "Look." "What does this mean?" "This means war." "You can't declare war without discussing it with your second in command." "Me." "You're supposed to tell me everything." "And you shouldn't have gone off like that." "It was irresponsible." "We were on a top secret mission." "What top secret mission?" "To discover the secret of fire." "Just come." "Please." "Come on, we've got to find them, show them the island's ours." " There they are." " I wanted to say that." "Those pirates look mean." "Hey!" "Come on, we can catch them." "We can catch them." "Come on!" "[Susan] We're getting closer." "Give me those." "Faster, John." "[John] We've got to sail closer to the wind." "We're losing them." "They're getting away." "Gosh, they're really good." "[Tatty] They're much faster than us." "We've lost them." "I can see that." "But thanks for letting me know." "Look, they're changing course." "Maybe they're heading for Rio." "Set course for Rio." "[Roger] It's not really called Rio, Tatty." "[Tatty] I'm a writer." "We make everything up." "It's carnival day." "They're not here." "Well, we're here now and we have to buy food." "Everyone's famished." "Well, we'd better be quick about it." "Wait, someone needs to stay with the boat." "Roger, you're in charge of the boat." "Stay here, we won't be long." "But you're the lookout." "And that's a very important job." "I'll do it... if you let me hold your knife." "Look after it." "And you stay on this spot." "Is there a problem?" " No." " Good." "Now clear off." "[band plays lively march]" "[Miss Crummock] Right." "That's four of those." "That will be two and six..." "Let's get some emergency tins of pemmican." "Don't forget the grog." "Not from the bottom." "Don't you know anything about the laws of gravity?" " Thank you." " Thank you." "[vendor] Twopence for the toffee apple." "[man] Who's favourite this year?" "[vendor] Pickles and chutneys." "Home-made cakes." "Pickles and chutneys." "[band plays]" "[children chatter]" "He's got a gun!" "I want to go home!" "Roger, you're supposed to be watching Swallow!" " But there was a man and he had a..." " Swallow better be there." "Wait." "I forgot the ship's log." "What can I do for you, Mr Turner?" "I'd like to send a telegram, please." " There you are." " Thank you." "I have some post for you." "I'll just have a look, see if I can find it." "Not that." "Oh, yes, that's for you." "Oh, back from your travels, Mr Turner?" "Leningrad, wasn't it?" "That's in Russia, isn't it?" "Is that because that's where Lenin came from?" "You go there a lot." "Anyone would think..." "you had a woman there." "Well, that's for me to know and for you... to find out." "Dearest M, I've seen the light." "We must look to the skies." "I'll be with you very soon." "Yours 8.76." "[clattering]" "Oh, no!" "Oh, dear, all the keys have come off." "I forgot this." "Go on, scram, you cheeky monkey." "What's the point?" "I've just seen Captain Flint send a life or death telegram." "But the other pirate stole it." "We believe you, thousands wouldn't." "[thunder rumbles]" "You must be doing it wrong." "You weren't there." "How would you know?" "Let's just use the matches." "No, we're explorers." "This is how we make fire." "Now we can eat!" "[sizzling]" "Are you sure that's fish?" "Nope." "Looks remarkably like Vicky's sick." "[John] That's not how you cook fish." " You do it, then." " I can't eat that, I'm a vegetarian." "Well, I'm not eating it." "Let's have the pemmican." "[sighs]" "[Tatty] Giddy-up, giddy-up." "Giddy-up, horsey" "Yummy." " Faster." " That's good." "Halt!" "[war CW]" "Run!" "[war CW]" "Down here, quick!" "This way, Roger." " [war cry]" " We'll have to jump." "Roger, hide." "We'll come back for you when they're gone." "Jump!" "You won't get away that easy." "Weren't there four of them?" "Maybe." "But they were going too fast." "There were, because I counted them." "Well, I couldn't see past my mask." "Hang on, where's the short one?" "Swallow's been taken." "Lost something, Captain?" "Who are you?" "I'm Nancy Blackett." "Part owner of the Amazon, Terror of the Seas." "I'm Peggy." "I own the other half." "Her name's Ruth, really." "But she doesn't think it's much of a pirate's name." "Shut up, Peggy." "Or you'll walk the plank." " Give us back our island." " Give us back our boat." "And our brother." "This is Wild Cat Island." "And you... scurvy dogs... are trespassing." "Tell them, Peggy" "You've got ten minutes to pack up and clear off." "Or what?" "It's not even called Wild Cat Island." "So it can't be yours." " What's it called, then?" " Walker Island." "How original." "Parley." "Secret Harbour." "Now." " Are you a pirate?" " Just shut up and move." " Do you have any treasure?" " Are you all there?" "Do you have a mum?" "Voilà." "Secret Harbour." "Look at those rocks." "How did you get in there?" "We would have found it eventually." " It's actually really easy." "You..." " Shut up, Peggy." "Come on, you lot." "It's our island." "We discovered it." "And we'll fight to the death to keep it." "We live on it now." "That makes it ours." "And we'll fight to the death to defend it." "What with?" "I see no weapons." "We're not frightened of you." "Or the pirate who sent you." "What pirate?" "No-one sent us." "Captain Flint." "The most notorious pirate in the whole of Houseboat Bay." " She means Uncle Jim." " Shut up, you donkey." "Watch who you're talking to, Ruth Blackett, or I'll never sail with you again." "There's only one way to settle this." "On water." "The captain who takes the enemy ship wins the island." "And both ships." "We can't." "Swallow's not ours." " Then we win." " No." "We agree." "One question:" "How did you get the boats into Secret Harbour?" "That's for us to know and you to find out." "The Harbour's marked." "Peggy!" "That's all I'm going to say." "They'll never work it out." "War starts tomorrow!" "Hang on, we don't know where you keep Amazon." "You've got an advantage." "Head up the Amazon River." "You can't miss us." " Just aim for the marked tree." " One mark isn't enough." "I need two to keep me on a straight course." "It's the stump." "You keep the stump and the tree with the cross lined up." "Well done, Captain." "It looks like cat food." " Careful." " I am." "Hey!" "That's how we beat them." "Leading lights." "Father told me about them." "We hang lanterns on the marked tree and the stump so we can get back to the harbour in the dark." "We'll capture Amazon before sunset." "War doesn't start tomorrow." "It starts tonight." "Someone will have to stay and light the lanterns." " You're not leaving me behind again." " I'll do it." "You can't." "You'd be all on your own." " I want to." " You're not allowed to use the matches." "Someone's got to do it." "And it can't be Roger." "As Captain, I'll give you permission to use the matches." " Just this once." " That's settled then." "Come on, let's rig the lanterns." "Roger, give me my knife." "Where is it?" "It was an accident." "It fell out of my pocket on the jetty." "You lost Father's knife?" "What an idiot!" "You're useless!" "I knew we shouldn't have brought you!" "You're a duffer!" "I hope you drown." "[sobs]" "He's only little." "[raps on window]" "It's Uncle Jim." "He must want something." "Evening, ladies." " Hello, Uncle Jim." " [parrot] Hello, darling." "Don't you start." "So, you're alive, then." "Just about." "But this man-eating crocodile would have eaten me alive... if he wasn't allergic to outrageously talented travel writers." "I didn't make any for you because I didn't know you were coming." "Because you don't tell us anything." "Because we're only your family." "And what a lovely family you are as well." " You being sarcastic?" " No." "Not at all, my dear sister." "I've got an urgent article to finish and I need a favour." "[parrot] Cup of tea for Polski." " No more parrot-sitting." " But I'm going away." " Not again?" " It's only for a couple of days." " Can I have a word, please?" " Yeah." "That's what you said last time, Jim, and were gone for three months." "The girls miss you." "I don't suppose that means anything to you, though, does it?" "Because work always comes first." "I know." " I'll make it up to them." " Hm." "I promise." "[parrot] Shoot the blackguard." "Scurvy dog." "What's this?" "[gasps]" "It's a black spot." "So I'm a marked man, am I?" "Well... if anything happens to me, look after Polski." "Jim." "Just... take care." "Good riddance." "We don't need him now." "We've got other fish to fry." " What other fish?" " The Walkers." "We're at war." "Don't forget the leading lights." "Light them when you hear three owl hoots." "That's our signal." "We're depending on you." "[Tatty] The brave crew set off in search of the Amazon boathouse, their most dangerous mission yet." "Meanwhile, Able Seaman Tatty Walker, aged nine-and-a-half, was alone on her island like Robinson Crusoe, but without Man Friday for company." "[bird cries] [wings flapping]" "[John] Roger, keep your eyes peeled for the Amazon boathouse." "But don't shout out." " [birds squawking] - [screams]" "The Jolly Roger." "That's their sign." "Now we take Amazon." " Who's that?" " It must be them." "Go on, Roger." "[screams]" "[Susan] They're dummies, you dummy." "And the boat's not Amazon." "That's an old pirate trick." "Well done, Captain." "Roger, stop messing around." " Duffer." " Don't call him that." "We're in this mess because you didn't want to get beaten by a girl." "If anyone's a duffer, it's you." "Roger!" "'Roger!" "'Roger!" "Roger!" "[both] Roger!" "'Roger!" "'Roger!" "'Roger!" "'Roger!" ".Roger!" "Roger!" "'Roger!" "'Roger!" "'Roger!" "We'll get you, Roger!" " The Wind's getting up." " Help!" "[Susan] We're coming, Roger!" "We'll get you!" "Susan!" "Careful." "Careful." "Not too close or you'll hit him!" "Nearly there." "[coughs and splutters]" "No duffers on your ship." "[owl hoots] [owl hoots] [owl hoots]" " I'm doing all the hard work here." " Nice of them to leave the lights on." "Well, you were right about them sailing tonight, weren't you?" " Very impressive, don't you think?" " If you say so." " I do say so." " It's not very nice to boast." "I'm not boasting, I'm just pointing out a fact." "If you say so." "So we collapse their tents, then run back here." "You don't have to keep telling me." "And when they come back, we take Swallow and win." "I'm starving." "Can I have a toffee?" " What was that?" " Me, you donkey." " Come on, slowcoach." " I'm coming, bossy-boots." "Come back, you blackguard!" "Bring the boat back!" "Scurvy dog!" "Son of a sea snake!" "You'll walk the plank!" "I give up." "So what are we gonna do now, clever clogs?" "You little brat." "[radio] Calling Harbour Master 4-5-1." "Come in, please." "It's Jim Turner." "Hello, Mr Turner." " How are things with you?" "Over." " I've been burgled." "I'm sorry to hear that." "What's been stolen?" "Over." "A trunk with all my work in it." "Well, why would anybody want to steal that?" "Over." "Get here as quick as you can." "On the way, can you arrest John Walker?" "He's staying up at Holly Howe." "Can you tell him I've got his knife'?" "I'm sorry, I won't be going anywhere until first thing tomorrow." "There's a county darts match at the Black Bull and I'm the captain." "Over and out." "[tune being whistled]" "Drop the knife." "Drop it." "Fascinating country." "You seem particularly fascinated by our shipyards." "Yeah, I love boats." "I trust you were impressed by the rocket plans you stole?" "No, I'm not impressed." "No, I'm horrified." "You'd do anything to defend your own country?" "No, I would stop short at developing weapons that could wipe out entire cities." "Well, sadly, you and I are not in control of what our governments do." "Both governments." "We intercepted the telegram to your superior, by the way." "S.76." "You seem like a man of principle." "We Russians, we share that." "Perhaps there's a way to work together." "[scoffs]:" "Are you trying to poach me?" " Poach you?" " Recruit." "Are you trying to recruit me?" "Is that so ridiculous?" "I may have a reputation as being something of an irritant here at home, but betrayal..." "is not on the cards, I'm afraid." "Pity." "All right, well, time to go." "All right." "Have a good trip." "No, no, no." "You're coming with us." "We need to find out exactly how much you know." "So... we can either do this the easy way or... the hard way." "It's entirely up to you." "[outboard motor whirs] [gasps]" "Pirates!" "They've killed Captain Flint and stolen his treasure!" "[Roger] Boat ahead!" "Isn't that Amazon?" "Careful, it might be another trick." "Tatty?" "There was an owl and I thought it was you, but it wasn't." "And I lit the lanterns and the Amazons came into Secret Harbour and they've took the island." "You've got Amazon, Tatty." "You've won it for us." "We've won!" " We've won!" " We won!" "Captain Blackett, do you surrender?" "We do, Captain Walker." "No trickery?" " No trickery." " It's Walker Island now." "It will always be Wild Cat Island." "In honour of the Amazon, the Terror of the Seas." "It's a better name." "[laughter and chatter]" " Did you bake this?" " No, Mrs Jackson did." "I can't bake." "It's a well-known fact." "[Giggles] [all chuckle]" "[shrieking and laughter]" "Come on, Roger." "[birdsong]" "Get up, all of you." "Right now!" "Come on." "Hurry up." "Theft is a very serious crime, lad." "Mr Turner was very angry last night when he reported it." "Own up, it will stand in your favour." " I didn't do anything." " Were you out on the lake last night?" "Why did you do that?" "You're not allowed to sail at night." "Is this your knife'?" " I lost it in Rio yesterday." " Well, that's strange." "Because it was found on Mr Turner's boat this morning." "And now, even stranger, we can't find Mr Turner." "Well, that's not strange." "I don't know how it got there." "Stop it, John." "What's come over you?" "You were supposed to look after the others, not get them into trouble." "You told me I could trust you." "Don't be angry with him." "He saved my life when I fell in the lake." "Don't say any more, any of you." "You're making it worse." "Mrs Blackett, John will return your brother's property immediately." "And he will not be allowed to sail again this summer." "Where do you think Uncle Jim is?" "He's gone away." "As usual." "If it wasn't John who stole his chest, who did?" "I don't know and I don't care." "Yes, you do." "[John]" "It was the pirates." "I saw them dump Captain Flint in their boat." "Flint isn't a pirate." "He's a spy." "How do you know?" "I saw inside his boat when I went to give him the message." "There were secret papers everywhere in..." "I think it was Russian." "And he had a gun." " Why didn't you tell me?" " Because he threatened me." "I saw a gun first." "The pirate in Rio had one." "Shut up, Roger." "But I saw the pirate in Rio." "The one with the funny hat was the man on our train, and he had a gun." "Which man from the train'?" "Who came to our carriage when Captain Flint was pretending to be our father." " He was in Rio?" " I said 100 million times." "There was another pirate, too, and he followed Captain Flint." "They were after Flint on the train." "They must have followed him here." "That's why the charcoal burners wanted us to warn him." "That boat you saw them dump him in, Tatty." "Was it a motorboat?" "Mm-hm." "They're on our island." "I saw their boat on the shore when we were leaving." "They've got Flint." "I think they're going to kill him." "You two stay here." "Susan, bring the torch and meet me downstairs." " Why, where are you going?" " We can save him." "We have to tell the Amazons." "We sail at dawn." "Please let me come with you." "Our lift has arrived." "I don't fly." "You can't trust these newfangled contraptions." " The sky's the future." " Well, then, I'll stay a dinosaur." "[John] Let him go." " Let him go!" " John." "All right." "Put it down, John." "Come on." "Your last chance." "I mean it." "You're brave." "But you're gonna have to pull the trigger if you want me to do that." "So are you brave enough?" "Pulling that trigger isn't brave." "Not pulling it, that's much braver." "John, look at me." "Look at me." "You've done more than enough." "Now come on." "Come on, son." "Put it down." "It's all right." "Good lad." "Nancy, take Pegs home." "I'll be back before you know it." "Now go on." "Look after everyone." "Now go on." "Go!" "Come on!" "We can still stop them." "Get to the boats!" "Don't worry, they'll soon be out of our way." "Come on." "It's those children again!" "They're up to something!" "Never mind them." "Get a move on, please." "[engine revs]" "What's happening?" "Why aren't we moving'?" " [excited shouting]" " Yes!" "We've done it." "Well, boost the engine!" "[shouts in Russian] [engine revs]" "[screaming]" "Untie it!" " Susan!" "Take the tiller." " Go!" "[Tatty] We're gonna drown!" "Be careful!" "Come on, John!" " Come on!" " Quickly!" "[screaming]" "[John] We failed." "[Susan] At least we tried." "[gunshot, pilot calls out]" " It's going to crash!" " Oh, no!" "We can do this the easy way or the hard way." "[Roger] It's Captain Flint!" "[cheering]" "Woo-hoo!" "It's all right, Peg." "It'll take more than that to get rid of me." "And I owe you, Captain Blackett." "Come here." "That's it." "Now, I'm not a man..." "well-known for my humility... but it seems I seriously misjudged your son." "You're not the only one." "I own up, John." "I was wrong and I'm so sorry." "That was the bravest thing I've ever seen." "Not as brave as when you fell in the lake." "Keep it for a bit." "Really?" ""Add And so ended our great adventure." "The victors were invited to a party on Captain Flint's boat." "He was off on a top secret mission, and he asked me to look after Polski because he's used to writers." "[parrot] They turned me into a parrot." "But there was still one question to answer." "Are you really a spy?" "Yes, are you really?" "No..." "I'm really a pirate." "[parrot] Walk the plank." "Walk the plank." "[all] Walk the plank!" "Walk the plank!" "I think this is yours, Captain." "I'll be back... you blackguards." "[cheering]" "Come on, then, join me!" "[all] Wheeeee!" "[Tatty] Swallows and Amazons forever." "Subtitles by Deluxe"
