[THEME MUSIC]

- ERNST ROBINSON: - According to my journal,

Three weeks have passed

since we were shipwrecked.

Cast away on a tropical

island somewhere

in the uncharted waters

of the Indian Ocean.

Our lives are under

constant threat from Parsons

and his accomplice, Ben,

who are also marooned

and have taken refuge

on an outer island.

The wildlife we have

so far encountered

seems as curious

and fearful of us

as we are of them, as we attempt

to survive in a world far

removed from that of Boston.

The unpredictable and

often inhospitable

world of mother nature.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Billy, the cabin boy, has

befriended my youngest sister,

Christina, who also delights

in her other new found friends,

over which she has become

protective and proprietorial

- since they were. - Found washed ashore.

Bruno seems to find our

new lifestyle idyllic,

as does my other sister, Joanna.

And, at times, even Mother

and Father appear content,

despite our predicament.

Though I'm sure they...

Like all of us...

Fear what the future

holds in store.

The mysterious Emily Chan

remains cold and aloof.

And is a constant

source of irritation,

seemingly unable to

accept that she no longer

lives in a society of service.

Or that for however long

we remain as castaways,

she is now an equal,

and must therefore

assist with our daily chores.

Emily, I need you help.

Please?

No.

My shirt will get dirty.

Take it off!

- ERNST ROBINSON: - Emily's selfishness.

Was to endanger not only

her own life, but indeed

the entire family's,

on an adventure which

began quite unexpectedly when we

first tested our homemade raft.

It might just work.

Here, Billy.

Take care of that.

It may prove useful.

Should we take it out further?

Oh, I'm reluctant, Ernst.

- I believe we should test. - The rudder more fully first.

[RUMBLING]

[BIRDS SCREECHING]

I wonder what started them up?

You didn't feel it?

Feel what?

I did.

Everything seemed to quiver.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[GOATS BLEATING]

[MEN CHANTING]

[GROANING]

MAN: Oh!

Oh.

Look, Father!

Oh, they're beautiful!

There's a baby.

Kid, Christina.

- When it's a goat, - it's called a kid.

What kind of goats

are they, Mr. Robinson?

Mountain goats, perhaps.

But if so, what are

they doing down here?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

- Oh, Joanna, you've. - Done very well.

No thanks to Emily.

Try to be patient with her.

I know, Mother,

but it's very hard.

The creatures were very

excited in the forest.

All fluttering and screaming.

And, do you know, I

thought I felt the earth

give a kind of shudder?

Amidst it all I saw

three magnificent goats.

Beautiful animals.

Now then, this is, uh, fennel.

We can make tea with this.

And medicine.

Heartburn.

Yes!

And, um, oh, what about this?

Could, uh, could

this be elderflower?

Peppermint.

For chills and cold fevers.

Goodness.

And, um...

this?

Yarrow, to be

used for measles.

How do you know so much?

My grandmother was a healer.

She knew a lot about

herbs and, as little girl,

she used to teach me.

[BRUNO BARKS]

Mother!

We saw three goats!

One was a baby... a kid.

I saw them too.

- Come down from the. - Mountains, it would seem.

- I think we may. - Have manufactured.

A rudder that actually works.

- Does that mean. - That we will soon.

Be able to set sail from here?

I wouldn't be too certain

of that yet, my dear.

My father will be

mounting a search for me.

I'm sure he will, but

it may take some time.

After all, no one

knows where we are.

In the meantime, we must take

heart and continue to help

and support one another.

Tell that to Emily.

You said she was to help me.

I asked her again and

again, but she refuses.

Emily, is this true?

Billy will do my work for me.

Yes, sir, I will.

No, he will not.

Billy has his own work to do.

Emily, under these

circumstances,

it is very important that we

all cooperate with one another.

- And that means that you. - Must do your work along.

With everyone else.

I am not a servant.

- No, you're not, but if you. - Don't work, you don't eat.

Do you understand that?

Well, I'm not hungry!

[SIGHS]

- ERNST ROBINSON: Little. - Did we realize at the time.

That Emily's selfishness,

and even the volcano,

would pale in comparison

with the enormous danger that

lay ahead.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Volcano's belching again.

- Pay no attention. - To the volcano.

Study the raft!

Yeah, they've

been working hard.

Mast.

Cabin.

- Looks like it. - Could be seaworthy.

What I wouldn't give to

slide up behind one of them

Robinson brats and

slit their throat.

- The children aren't. - Responsible for your brother's.

Death.

Their father was!

I'm not happy about that raft.

Last thing I want

is Robinson laughing

at me from the horizon.

We'll slip ashore and

have a look at it.

If it's seaworthy,

we'll scuttle it.

- We don't want them. - Slipping away now, do we?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

The coconut.

[INAUDIBLE], not my shins.

Sorry, Billy,

I'll try that again.

[BRUNO BARKS]

There it is again.

It's stronger this time.

What is it?

- Are you children all right? - Yes, Father.

Look!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What is it?

The volcano, think.

Is it dangerous?

I-I-I don't know.

I suppose not.

They're are always rumbling

and grumbling, I think.

Shall I call the children in?

No, let them play.

- There doesn't seem to. - Be any immediate danger.

I'll go have a closer look.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Come on.

We'll see the volcano

better up here.

Christina, where...

I knew he was there!

I turned around, and there

he was looking at me.

It's waiting for us.

Don't be silly.

Christina, wait!

She's right.

It wants us to follow it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, I don't believe it.

Let's steer due east.

Keep the island between us and

them for as long as we can.

That way they don't

see us coming.

It is the volcano.

Are we in danger?

No, I shouldn't think so.

It's very far away.

It's just that I feel

as if this whole island is

poised, waiting for

something to happen.

[MEN CHANTING]

[GOAT BLEATS]

[BRUNO BARKS]

Bruno!

Bruno, come back!

Bruno, come out.

Bruno!

What's happened?

I followed the goat.

And Bruno squeezed

into this hole.

And he won't come out.

Shush, listen.

[BRUNO BARKS]

He's gone a long way

down, by the sounds of it.

I'm going in.

I'm coming with you.

Come on, Christina.

[BRUNO BARKS]

Cover it well.

We don't want them

Robinsons stealing it.

They've got their own raft.

You're too good

for this world, Ben.

Too trustin' boy ya are.

It's a good job you got old

Parsons here to look after you.

Now make it quick.

Help!

I'm down here!

Billy?

Can you get back up?

No, I can't reach.

Is Bruno all right, Billy?

He's fine.

I'm coming down, Billy.

No, Christina!

Be careful!

I will.

Hold on.

Here.

The poor, little thing.

We must get it home.

How are we going to get

out with the goat and Bruno?

- Maybe we can. - Squeeze around this.

Come on.

Come on, Bruno.

Look at this.

It's extraordinary!

I've never seen

anything like it before.

Christina, look.

It feels kind of holy.

Yes.

Like a church.

[EERIE MUSIC]

Look at this everyone.

Ahh!

Christina!

What is it?

This place frightens me.

You're right.

We should leave.

Look!

Bruno's found a way.

What was that skeleton

doing in there anyway?

[GASPS]

Look!

It looks just like the

wooden statue inside.

What, do you think it's

some kind of burial chamber?

Let's go and tell Father.

Come on, you two.

- ERNST ROBINSON: We. - Would soon discover.

That the statue, burial chamber,

and volcano were linked.

But at the time the

only question was why?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What are you doing?

It makes me feel like a hunter

and David Robinson is my prey.

Are you going

to kill him today?

- If the opportunity. - Presents itself,

Well, I dare say I might!

And then everything

will fall into my hand.

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

[BRUNO BARKING]

Mother!

Papa!

Bruno went down the hole

to look for the baby goat.

And there was a cave!

With a skeleton!

And a black pearl.

This one.

Let me see that.

- And there were. - These two huge heads.

A wooden one.

Inside the cave.

- And a big stone one. - Carved into the cliff.

Outside.

And then a skeleton fell

out and frightened us.

I think I'd better

have a look at that.

Ernst, will you show me the way?

I'll come too!

- Oh, no you won't. - Everyone stays here.

- You've had enough. - Adventures for one day.

- Your father is. - Quite right, children.

[GROANING]

Now be sensible.

Ernst, lead on.

Now then, you two, dinner.

And you'd better help me tend

to this poor, young creature.

[GOAT BLEATS]

Christina, come back here.

It's all right, Mother.

They understand.

[GOAT BLEATS]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MEN CHANTING]

[GROANS]

He says it's like a church.

A place of ritual.

And then Christina

took out the pearl...

from here?

Ingenious.

Perfect balance.

Father, listen...

[MEN CHANTING]

I'll take a look.

Ernst, the eye.

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

Is he dead?

If he isn't, he's

very close to it.

[MAN GROANING]

Do you think they're

going to bury him here?

It seems likely.

He looks as if he may be a king.

We'd better leave.

Wait!

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Follow - me.

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

There's a tunnel.

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

Shh!

It's too late.

They're already here.

Ah!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Pretty.

Are you sure the baby

goat's all right, Mama?

Now, Christina, stop worrying.

The good thing is that

there are no bones broken,

so it should recover

quite quickly.

Oh, good.

Do you hear that, Bruno?

Mama says the baby

goat will be good soon.

[RUMBLING]

[GASPS]

[INAUDIBLE]

I don't like volcanoes.

Won't do you no harm.

How do you know?

It's Robinson you've

got to worry about.

- He's more danger. - Than any volcano.

That's still hard to believe.

Well, you didn't see

what he did to poor Seth.

Keep moving!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

No, don't be frightened.

I mean you no harm.

I want to help you.

Help.

Help, look.

- Very well and good. - To say we want to help,

We'll be hard pressed to

get ourselves out of here.

The statue, Father.

- If we can rock that. - Up against the wall,

Then it will be easier to

get to a tunnel [INAUDIBLE].

Let's try.

Come on!

Ernst, go on.

Go.

Let me help you.

Don't touch me!

You speak English?

Go.

Go!

[THEME MUSIC]

(SINGING) Time to go.

A ship is leaving.

No time for breathing.

Life goes on.

When I see we're

on the same side,

fighting, then

it's time to leave.

I should've known how

the rain was falling.

How we lost so much more,

'cause that's what life's for.

To the rain.

For [INAUDIBLE] get away.

This is the moment.

[INAUDIBLE] day by

day for [INAUDIBLE]

With you by my side,

I know what is right.

And I will stay with you until

you decide we should get away.

Get away.

Get away from it all.
