George, have you got the first aid box?

Yes, and the pills for my hay fever.

You make sure you take them.

I always do, and they don't do any good.

Now have you got the puncture repair outfit?

Yea, I gave it to Julian. Now don't flap.

Julian, promise to call every day, won't you.

Yes, Uncle Quentin, I promise.

You goin' up Middlecombo way?

Yes, why?

Take a look in the woods, there's badgers there at night.

And ghosts!

Oh! Don't!

Timmy'd scare away any ghosts.

Timmy, I'm relying on you.

Wouldn't have allowed you to go without him in any case.

We'll be alright, Uncle.

Now you're sure, you haven't forgotten anything?

Positive, now don't flap.

Goodbye! Oh, and in case we're not back by then: Happy Christmas!

Oh come, come, come, come.

Come on, Timmy, get on. Good boy. Bye bye, Mum.

Bye folks.

Take care.

Bye everyone!

Now for some peace and quiet at last!

Breakfast!

Come on, George, get up. Come on.

Refreshing, anyWaY!

Okay?

Bit nippv!

I always knew you two were mad!

Yes, they're done. You ready?

Hi!

Who's this?

No idea!

What are you doing on my land?

Your land?

Well, my Father's.

We didn't know it was private, there aren't any signs.

Hey, sausages!

They're private too.

Did you camp here overnight?

Yes, look, we'll go if you like.

Where?

Wherever we feel like.

We were thinking of heading for Middlecombe Woods tonight.

I know! I'll come with you!

Hey, just a minute.

I'll stay with myAunt, she lives up there. I'll just go and tell Mum.

Bye, see you on the road!

Hey, look, wait.

He's got a nerve.

Probably spoilt. If his father owns all this he must be rich.

Well, we don't want him tagging along with us.

No, that'll be the last we see of him, I hope. Better wake George up.

Come on, George, wake up. Time for you to do the washing up.

Oh well, pity to wake her. Better give Timmy one of her sausages.

Here you are, Timmy, have a sausage.

Don't you dare!

Hi, can't you go any faster?

Hey, stop!

Come on, I'll show you the way.

Hold on, let's just get something straight, shall we.

I know the roads all right.

Hang on, don't just invite yourself. How d'you know we want you?

Why shouldn't you?

It's our choice, not yours!

Now hold on, George! Look, we don't even know who you are.

I'm Richard Kent. My father's Thurlow Kent.

Not the Thurlow Kent who's down to his last twenty million?

How many other Thurlow Kent's are there?

Blimey...

I'm Anne, this is Julian, Dick and George.

And Timmy!

Well, ifyou're sure your mother won't mind.

No, she'll ring my Aunt and I'll stay with her. Come on, let's go!

Okay, but you stay behind where I can keep an eye on you.

Anne, George, you lead.

But I know the way!

So do we, now get at the back.

Richard!

Oh stop Richard!

Stop, Richard, you'll get run over!

Look, no hands! Bet you can't do this! - Richard!

It's dangerous!

No, it isn't, look, loan.

Richard, we're going to stop now.

And unless you stop misbehaving your'e going to go home!

Roadhog! He could have killed me!

Are you all right?

Listen, one more childish trick from you, and we go on without you!

You can't stop me!

Oh we can, don't you worry.

How?

Ever tried riding with two flat tyres?

Oh, all right.

Let's get going properly this time.

Middlecombe Woods must be just down there.

We're there. We can cycle up that path.

Richard's Aunt's house must be just along there.

He's had enough.

Only three more miles, Richard!

What?

Don't worry, your Aunt's house must be just along there.

We're off to set up camp in the woods, okay? Bye!

What's wrong with this then?

Not much.

Smashing.

There's a farm just over there. Who's coming to get supplies with me?

IWill!

Hey, that's the Kent kid!

Who is it?

Richard Kent, grab him and bring him to Owl's Dene,

I can't hang about here now. I've got a score to settle with that little brat.

This lot okay?

Oh terrific! That'll really keep us warm in the night!

I hope the others hurry up. I need something to eat. I'm starving.

Help!

Richard!

Quick, they're after me. Where is Timmy?

Who's after you?

Hey, where's Timmy?

They've gone down to the farm.

Oh no!

Hey, Richard, wait. Who's after you?

Hey, he looked really scared.

Do you hear anything?

Nothing.

I'll take a look from that tree.

Good idea.

Julian, George, Timmy!

Who's that?

Who do you think?

Help, Julian, help!

What's up?

They are after me! Get Timmy, George. They are after me!

Come on!

Can't see anything, I'll go a bit higher.

Got you! So you thought you could give us the slip, eh?

What d'you mean?

You know!

Ran away as soon as you saw Rooky, didn't you?

Well, that won't do you much good.

Wait. I'm not the one you're looking for!

Oh no? What's your name then?

Dick.

You can't fool us, Dick, Richard, so what!

But I'm Dick Kirrin, not Richard Kent!

How d'you know his name then?

And who we were looking for?

Kirrin, Kent, couldn't you think of a better name than Kirrin?

Come on!

Wait, stop, help!

Quiet, if you now what's good for you, son.

You'll be in trouble when the police hear of this!

They won't hear of it, sonny. The police never hear of anything

that happens at Owls Dene.

Dick! Anne!

There's nobody here!

Thank heavens, you're back!

What's up?

Two men, they've taken Dick. I didn't get a look of them, I was up the tree.

They think he's Richard!

Who were those men? You've got some explaining to do!

Come on, Dick's in danger!

Well?

It was Rooky, he recognised me. He got out of the car and chased me.

I thought, Timmy could stop them.

Rooky? Who's he? Why does he want you, anyway?

He used to be my father's body guard. He bullied me all the time,

but I caught him stealing and he was sacked and went to jail.

Now he wants his own back!

I don't understand. Why did he take Dick?

This man Rooky wasn't here. I heard the other's talking about him.

They said where they're taking Dick, to Owl's Dene.

Owls Dene? Come on, let's have a look on the map.

When they find they've got the wrong boy, they'll let Dick go,

won't they?

They're not going to bring him back here, are they?

No, he won't know where to find us!

Here's Owl's Hill. Owl's Dene must be somewhere about here.

Look, there's a big building marked. Come on, let's take a look!

What about me?

What about you?

I can't stay here!

Go back to your Aunt's then.

I can't! There's no one there.

So you didn't ask your mother whether you could come with us!

She wouldn't have let me.

I can see why! You'd better stay with us.

But I'm the one Rocky's after, if he sees me, he'll...

Look, you've caused enough trouble as it is.

Either you start helping or go home! Now where's your bike?

In there.

Well get it then.

Let's go.

Listen!

It's a car.

That's bit of luck, we can get the police now.

I can't see any light.

There it is!

Hey, wait a minute.

What's up?

A car without any lights, stopping at a lonely place like this?

Better be careful, hm?

Yes.

It's the car Rooky was driving. I remember the number.

Let's get out of here.

No!

Listen.

Asignal!

There's the answer. Now what?

You lot stay here!

Come on, hurry.

Get rid of those clothes, we don't want to get caught with them in the car

and we don't want hanging around here! - Right!

So what was the number, then?

VH K4648.

Just testing.

What are these?

Prison clothes. There was a man waiting here.

I saw him change into some others.

Why?

Well, this is a prison uniform. I should think he's an escaped convict!

Hey, we got the car number.

Great, let's hope there's a phone between here and Owl's Hill!

Owl's Dene! This is it!

Looks formidable. How do we get in?

Look!

Dump the bikes, hide over there!

Run for it, over that ditch over there!

That's the same car.

Come on, this is our chance!

No!

Oh no!

We'd better scout around in case,

it could be all night before another vehicle omes in or out of here. Come on!

I think it's got electricity! It's making my hand tingle.

I'd leave it alone, it might be an alarm as well.

The car's coming back!

Quick, under cover! In the grass!

Timmy, Timmy! - Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Come on, in here.

Hadn't one of us go for help?

No, where to? This is the middle of nowhere,

no, we'd better stick together.

Q KEY-

Tim, come on.

What a house!

We're shut in now!

If Dick's a prisoner here, then so are we!

The difference is: they don't know about us! And we've got to get him out,

Come on!

Julian, it's a light in the window!

That must be Dick signalling help, it spells S-O-S!

I think, it is him up there.

Did he see us do you think?

No, it's too dark and we can't use our torches either, they might be seen,

Come on!

George, keep Timmy quiet.

Quick, get under cover!

Got it!

It is Dick!

We've got to get in now.

Come on.

Hey there's a window open.

What do you think?

We must do something. - We've no choice.

There might be a phone inside. I saw some wires round the back.

Well, here goes. Torch, please, George!

You don't have to come if you don't want to, Richard.

I'll come with you.

Good man!

Julian, here is your torch.

I left Timmy outside.

We'll spread out and search the place. We'll use this room as our base.

If you find Dick, come back here, if you find a phone, call the police.

So you want the police, do you?

We shall have to tell the boss about that.

And I don't think he'll be very pleased with you at all!

Get in there, go on!

We've got some visitors, Aggie.

I'm sure you could cook 'em one of your delicious hot meals, now, couldn't you?

Couldn't you?

Yes, yes, whatever you say.

No, you're not going to.

Children who break into other people's properties at night

don't deserve to get the Five-Star treatment. No!

They're more likely to get the Five-Stroke treatment from my belt!

George?

Yes?

Do you think he is trying to scare us?

No, I think he's trying to make us laugh.

Not succeeding, is he, George?

I don't know, Anne's laughing.

Now you listen to me, you little...

one more squeak out of you and I'll oil you!

Who are these youngsters?

Trespassers, Mr. Perton, Sir, broke in through the old parlour window.

That's not true, it was open!

Shut up! Ted and me caught 'em, Mr. Pefion, Sir,

heard 'em say they was going to call the police.

Police, eh?

Now why should people trespassing on my property want to call the police?

Because we happen to know that you're keeping our brother prisoner here!

You clumsy old.

So I'm keeping your brother prisoner here?

Now, why should anyone want to do a thing like that?

Why don't you ask Rooky?

Rooky, who's that?

Oh, well, if Dick isn't here,

then you wont mind us using your phone to call the police.

I'm sorry, we're not on the telephone here.

Really, I don't understand any of this. It's very late. Where do you live?

We're camping.

Oh, well, let's leave it till morning then, shall we? Aggie,

fix them up in the attic, would you?

I only hope you won't be too uncomfortable.
