Believe it or not!
First legendary explorer Robert Ripley, now Michael Ripley
follows in his footsteps.
He and his friends, Samantha and Cyril circle the globe
in search of the strange, the bizarre, the unexplained.
Leaving no mystery unresolved, against all odds,
they challenge you to -
believe it or not!
Five years I've sat rotting in this prison cell.
And all because of you two do gooders.
Well, you're going to get yours!
C'mon Hawkins, today's the day!
It certainly is!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Guard: One silver watch. One gold ring...
Pair of black shoes... A blue suit.
That's it.
Your good behaviour got you out in half the time,
Hawkins.
Don't disappoint us.
Warden, I guarantee you'll never see me back here.
Ever!
Oh Dad, I thought this day would never come!
Neither did I.
Everything ready?
All set.
What's all set?
Ripley wasn't hard to find.
I marked his island with an "X".
We're going to a feast that has only
one thing on the menu.
The sweet taste of revenge!
Sam: Was it only a month ago we had our vacation in the Greek
Islands? Seems longer.
Rip: That's because we haven't been able to use the BION Cruiser
since then!
I still don't know why you kept ignoring Julius' advice.
We did hire him to guide us around the islands.
Hey! I didn't want to go through the channel,
Julius insisted, remember?
Hey, don't knock Julius.
When he found out we collected artifacts he went to a lot of
trouble to send us this authentic Greek Magic Dial.
C'mon, ask me a question!
I've got a question!
Why does Sam have to take the Cruiser out the first day it
comes back from the shop?
Let's see, the symbol is -- underwater!
Wow, that's amazing!
So this is just like one of the Magic Dials the Oracle at
Delphi used right?
Yes, it dates back seventeen hundred years.
You ask a question and spin the dial.
When it points to a symbol you look it up in Robert Ripley's
Guide to Symbology.
Hmm, maybe you should ask it if Sam is going to wreck the
Cruiser again?
Cyril: You know, there is a way to keep her from using it.
The new remote control unit we had installed,
remember?
Rip: Ahh, good idea.
I mean we do have to try it out to see if it works,
right?
Very funny boys!
Rip: Hey, just checking out the remote control.
Guess what, it works just fine!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Who needs the Cruiser?
I wonder if the Magic Dial could ve told us Sam was going
to do that?
Cyril: Dunno.
Gee, maybe it can tell us what's gonna happen today.
Jeopardy.
That can't be good.
Voice on radio: Mayday! Mayday!
We've got smoke coming from our engine room!
Need assistance immediately!
Looks like the Magic Dial is two for two!
Find out their position and call me in the Cruiser!
Voice on radio: Mayday, can anyone hear us!?
Message received.
Help is on the way, repeat, help is on the way.
What's your position?
I'll try to get a hold of Sam!
C'mon Rip, it's been almost 15 minutes!
Cyril, are you there?
Right here, Rip. Where you been?
Can you meet me down at the docks?
I'm gonna need a hand down here.
Be right down! What's the problem?
I'll tell you when you get here.
Rip?
AAAH?
Hello Cyril, surprise.
I've come back for a visit.
For five years, I rotted in that jail cell!
And all I thought about was the day I was going to get my
revenge.
And finally that day is here!
You pretend to be an artifacts expert,
but you're still just a thief!
You're wrong!
Nobody knew more about the Egyptian collection than I did!
But since they would only hire me as the museum janitor,
I had to prove to them I knew my stuff.
My replicas were perfect.
And no one would've known if you two hadn't messed
up my plans!
But now's the time to even the score.
You took from me.
Now I'm going to take from you!
An eye for an eye gentlemen!
Go to the artifacts room.
Remember, don't waste your time with the junk.
Take only the best antiquities.
Rip, they don't know about Sam.
We ve got to hide the pictures!
Keep an eye on them.
I've got some business to attend to.
You promised, no one gets hurt, right?
We're here to steal... that's it.
Sam (on radio): Hey guys, are you there?
Oh, oh!
Hawkins: Alright, who's the girl?
Rip: She's ah, my ex-girlfriend, we broke up.
She just doesn't believe it's over.
Ha. Believe it or not?
Get rid of her.
That's what I've been trying to do for the last six months!
You need to push that red button on the control panel.
I think it's time you realized it's over.
People change.
What are you talking about?
You see what I mean?
Quit fooling around.
Just get rid of her!
I can't talk right now.
If you try to come here like you did LAST TIME -- I won't
let you in.
NO ONE will.
Goodbye!
Either he's in the middle of a really vivid dream or
something's wrong.
This is Samantha Seaver from BION Island,
can you tell me how far the nearest coast guard ship is?
Hi Samantha.
The nearest ship is at least five hours from your location.
Is there a problem?
Unknown.
Will confirm, thanks for the info.
Something tells me, Rip isn't trying to warn me about some
surprise party.
Hmm, he didn't say anything about visitors today.
What's this?
It's called a Greek Magic Dial.
It's used for predicting the future.
Really?
Does it work?
It hasn t been wrong today.
He's right.
When Cyril asked it who had the emergency,
the word that came up was "prison".
What are you talking about?
I figure another fifteen years in jail for your Dad.
Probably five for you and Alex.
Unless you manage to outrun the law for the rest
of your lives.
And Rip, don't THEY say the average criminal makes at
least ten mistakes?
Just shutup okay!
This wasn't my plan in the first place.
Brenda, it's not too late.
Leave now and we can forget the whole thing.
(on radio): Ah Dad?
Do you have the keys to the boat?
No, I don't!
I distinctly remember leaving them in the door.
Now they're missing!
Alex, I'm busy here.
You're going to have to deal with it yourself!
Touchy!
Sounds to me like you guys need some
quality time with your Dad.
But of course, you won't get that if you all go to jail.
Brenda: Alex? Alex!?
What?
Brenda: Switch to channel two.
It's not too late to stop this.
Ripley says he won't press charges.
Alex: What are you talking about?
If we don't get away with this,
we could all go to jail for a very long time.
Don't even think about that!
We're not gonna get caught.
He wouldn't let us!
If I could just find those stupid keys!
Brenda: Alex!
Forget what I said, I think I know where your keys went.
Alright, where is she?
Who?
Her!
She's sneaking around here, isn't she?
No! No, no, that's the old girlfriend
I was telling you about.
You said you broke up six months ago.
The date on this is last month.
You. How do you activate the intercom?
It's the red button on the left.
Alright, whoever you are.
Her name is Samantha.
Cyril!
Well it is!
Samantha, we want the keys back or your friends are
going swimming.
Hawkins: I want every security camera up on the screen,
now!
Where is she?
Alex go mess up the plane.
You do the same with the submarine,
Brenda.
No one gets away today!
Psst.
Rip, look!
Ha ha ha!
Gotcha!
Alex, are you almost done?
I could use a hand down here - Huh?
I could use a hand down here - Huh?
Nothing like a little game of hide and seek.
Now to save the boys.
Whew!
Cyril: How can I untie your ropes if you keep pulling like that!
Rip: I'm just trying to pull the knot loose!
Quit moving!
Sam: See, if you'd let me use the Cruiser,
you wouldn't be in this mess now,
would you?
Just get us untied.
Ah, Cyril can apologize later.
Me?
Hawkins: Why would you want to untie these gentlemen?
...when we're just going to have to tie them up again.
Ha ha ha ha.
I want to thank you for generously "donating"
your Cruiser.
It should make for a much faster getaway.
And as for your, priceless collection of artifacts.
I'm sure we'll be able to get some sort of price for them.
Okay, we've got to try and untie each other.
Hey!
Ow!
Who's pinching me?!
It's not me!
Ow!
Cut that out, that tickles!
The Jet Ski is much faster than the Cruiser.
I should have no problem catching up.
If you get remote control of the boat,
tell me and I'll back off.
Yeow!
Hold on, I think we've got it.
What are you doing?
Don't slow down!
I didn't do anything!
The wheel is turning all by itself!
Look at this.
The computer is taking commands from Ripley's
headquarters.
Hold it.
I suspected they'd have a trick up their sleeve,
I've got this all under control.
You're going to give me back control of this boat and
you re going to do it now!
Really? Why should we?
Because I've hidden a bomb somewhere in your precious
headquarters and if you don't give me back control,
I'm going to activate the timer,
that's why.
Did he just say bomb?
I remember seeing Hawkins carrying a briefcase down
towards the thermal power station.
Alright, we better not take any chances...
you've got control back.
Hopefully Rip will catch up to them in time.
Oh yeah!
Dad plays the Ace!
Good one!
A bomb?
But Dad, you said we were just going to rob them.
You promised.
Don't worry, it's just our insurance policy.
I won't set it off.
Rip!
I've notified the Coast Guard, and I'm waiting to hear from a
bomb expert.
Sam's gone down to the thermal station to check it out.
Be extra careful.
If anything goes wrong, you guys get out of there.
I ll try and get the remote control for the bomb.
With the Cruiser engines on full,
they won t hear me coming.
I found it.
Ok.
I got the Bomb expert on the line...
Mr. Barker, Officer Woodward here.
What can I do for you?
We've got a bomb ticking at BION headquarters.
Samantha is looking at it right now.
There's no time to get there, so I'm going to guide you
through this.
Samantha, are there any wires on the outside of the case?
None that I can see.
Okay, slowly open the case.
Uh oh!
Cyril: What?
Sam: I just set off the timer!
So what do we do now?
Look carefully, is there any sort of balance mechanism?
Yes. It just stopped moving.
Officer: Okay. What have we got for a wire system?
There is no system.
It's a tangled mess.
It won't be easy, but without touching anything,
you have to find the wire that's connected to the timer.
But there are two, a red one and a yellow one.
Snip the one that's connected to the detonator.
Ah... red.
No, yellow!
It stopped!
Good work, Samantha.
I'll send a squad to dispose of the bomb.
Now that we're not gonna get blown up let's get that
Cruiser back here!
Rip, you can relax buddy!
We disconnected the timer!
He's got the remote!
Eh heh. heh... hi.
Whoa!
Two can play the doublecross game.
Did you think there was only one connection to the timer?
You said, no one would get hurt!
This stops now!
What are you doing?!
Ahhh!!!
(beeping)
Uh oh, I don't like the sound of that!
We need to get control of the cruiser again...
otherwise your sister and your father are in big trouble!
Dad!
Cyril, I need manual control of the Cruiser, fast!
We've got two people overboard!
You got it Rip!
Sam: Cyril! We got a problem!
The timer has started up again!
What should I do?
Hold on a second.
I have an idea.
The Greek Magic Dial hasn t given me a wrong answer yet!
What colour wire should we cut on the bomb?
The answer is Darkness.
Darkness?
Black!
Sam, is there a black wire?
There is!
Cyril: Cut it now!
Whew! It worked Cyril! How'd you know?
Ah, I'll tell you later, I gotta call Rip!
I guess the taste of revenge wasn't as sweet as I thought
it would be.
That's probably the closest you ll come to an apology
from him. Please forgive us...
I don t really think he intended to explode the bomb.
The judge might take that into consideration.
I hope some day your father can forget the past and get on
with his life.
You risked my life with that - that -- trinket?!
I can't believe it!
Come on, admit it, it worked!
And it hasn't been wrong yet!
That's not the point!
Cyril's right about the Dial.
It just described me as strong!
Smell isn't everything!
And it said I was smart!
Not smart enough to stay away from me today!
Hey it just described you as being a
strong immovable force.
Compliments won't convince ME that that stupid dial works.
I don't think the Greek Magic Dial meant it as a compliment.
But at this moment, you ARE an immoveable force!
Believe it, or Not!
