Yo-ho-ho...

What's that guy doing?

Avast, me land lovers!

How much does a pirate pay to get his ears pierced?

-How much?

-A buck-aneer!

HE LAUGHS

How come you're wearing two eye-patches?

It is cos I is twice the pirate you are. Ha-ha-ha!

Let's keep walking, Jake, that guy's weird.

-Hang on! Is your name Jake?

-Yeah.

-As in Jake that wants

to prank his mates Luke and Larson on Prank Patrol?

-Yeah.

-Well, hang on a sec, I got to walk the plank.

Dude, congratulations, you're the newest member of the Prank Patrol.

Scotty here. You'll need that, which is your pass to prank.

-You'll also need this.

-PARROT SQUAWKS

Oh, no, not that one. You'll need this one,

your official Prank Patrol Road Trip jacket. Pop that on.

Now, Mum, Jake and I have got some pranking to do.

-Is it all right if I commandeer Jake?

-Sure, sounds good.

-Ready to get pranking?

-Yeah.

-Oh, just before we go,

Mum, Percival here needs to go back to the pet shop.

-OK.

-Thank you very much, let's hit the road!

-Ya-ha-ha-har! Yar!

-PARROT SQUAWKS

This is Jake. Jake's an avid sportsman.

He loves just about any game there is,

and when he gets older, he'll join a rock band and bash out some hits.

Hey, Prank Patrol, I need your help pranking my two good mates

Luke and Larson. They've been up to a bit of mischief around school

and it's payback time.

CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK

Jake is out to prank his best mates Luke and Larson.

These two are inseparable when it comes to sport and fun,

but will they know Jake's going to hit him for a six?

Righty-oh, Jake, you ready to start planning your prank

-on Luke and Larson?

-You bet.

-I can't wait.

-BIRD SQUAWKS

What's that noise?

-HE LAUGHS EXCITEDLY

-Percival!

You came back, you flew back to me. Oh, we're best friends forever!

Can we just get on with it?

Yeah, yeah. Sorry about that, Jake.

OK, well, welcome to our Prank Patrol spy camper van.

Tell me all about Luke and Larson.

Luke and Larson are my good friends from school.

We really enjoy hanging out together.

Luke's a bit of a class clown

and Larson's so gullible. They'll be so easy to prank.

This sounds awesome. So, like, is this a bit of a revenge prank,

have you pranked each other before?

We have little pranks on each other, but nothing as big as this.

Fantastic. What's their reaction going to be like?

Shocked! They wouldn't know what to do.

Oh, this sounds awesome, Jake. Well, I'll tell you what,

these guys sound like they need a big prank to give them a big shock,

but before that, do you want to see my latest Road Trip diary?

-Yeah, all right.

-They're pretty awesome.

Dear diary, being out here on the road,

we sometimes stop in the middle of nowhere

and it's very important to entertain yourself. Want to play snap?

I've discovered I'm awesome at cards and board games.

And the weird thing is,

it doesn't matter what game it is, I always win.

I win!

I know, isn't it awesome? All right, check you campers later. Scotty out.

Isn't that, like, the sweetest thing you've ever seen?

Yeah, I guess...

I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Percival. What's that?

-No! No, you're the best ever!

-Come on, Scotty.

Sorry, Jake. OK, what we need to do now is come up with a prank

for the boys. Just see if any of these jump out at you at all.

-Treasure Hunt sounds good.

-Oh, this one's a great one!

What happens in the prank is, you, Luke and Larson

have been asked to help out your uncle search his country property

for old coins and artefacts.

-It's like an archaeological dig. Sound cool?

-Sounds great.

But when you guys are there,

you're going to find this hidden treasure of an old bushranger.

A bushranger is a ye olde term for Australian robbers

that robbed people they came across in the Bush, or in their homesteads.

Stand and deliver, give me all your gold and some bread.

Nasty critters, really.

The treasure is going to be protected by a curse

and the ghost of the bushranger returns to claim it.

-Sound like fun?

-Sounds great!

This is like a historic, spooky and also an hysterical prank all in one.

-Sounds like a good prank?

-It's perfect!

If we're going to succeed, we've got lots of work to do

to make it look legit and pull it off, so you and I better get to it.

Let's buckle up and...

Hey, Ninjas! Come on, Ninjas, let's hit the road!

And the treasure hunt is on.

What good is a treasure hunt without some treasure?

It would be like a nothing hunt, which wouldn't be much fun.

Trust me, I know. The Ninjas send me on them all the time.

OK, Percival and Jake, this is...

MONSTER ROARS

-SCOTTY SCREAMS

-What's that?

-HE LAUGHS

-Zaen, how are you, mate?

-Good to see you.

-Good to see you, mate.

Jake, this is Zaen, he is our expert with creepy old stuff.

-Jake, how are you going?

-Good, thanks.

What can I do for you guys today?

We need some old stuff for us to dig up.

Maybe a treasure chest, a curse, and even a skeleton of a bushranger.

Ah! Skeleton? Meet Lightning Rod.

THEY SCREAM

Oh!

That was Percival screaming, I was not creeped out at all.

Percy is such a delicate bird.

Scotty told me what you need for the prank,

so I've been ageing this skeleton.

-I still need to do the arm. Can you help me out?

-Yeah, sure.

Hang on, if you use paint, you're going to need to this.

You'll be needing this, Jake, and I will be needing this.

-Now we can begin.

-All right, let's do it.

Just dab and just start working it in.

Make sure you get all those little bits in there.

Get the witch hazel, dab a paper towel in it,

and just strip it back, we don't want a block colour.

That looks awesome, Jake.

I was thinking, you guys can work on making

the paper of the curse look really old,

and because I'm a king with words, and with Percy,

-we can write the actual curse.

-OK.

Throw in the water. We've got about 20 teabags in there.

To make the raggedy edges, grab some of the tea and squirt it round,

and just tear it away and you'll get an old paper effect.

Scotty, the paper's done. How's the writing going?

I think I've got just the one we are looking for. Have a look at this.

-This is mine, don't touch!

-Are you serious?

-That's what you've been doing over there?

-The whole time?

Guys, it was Percy's idea.

He's just a bird, lay off him.

OK, it looks like you guys are all ready to go.

Thank you so much for your help, Zaen.

We've got stacks more to do so we better get out of here.

-Catch you later, mate.

-Awesome.

-Cheers, Zaen.

Here's a cool trick that you can play on someone that will

leave them in suspense.

All you need is a plastic cup of water and a broom.

Make sure it's a plastic cup and not a glass.

Tell your friend you want to show them magic trick,

explain that you can stick an ordinary cup of water to the ceiling

like a suction cup, but you need their help to set up the trick.

Stand on the chair and place the cup flat against the ceiling,

have your friend hold of the broom handle up to wedge the cup in place.

Hop down and push the chair away, then act like you've forgotten

an important item in the other room that'll make the trick work.

Tell them you will be right back. All you do is leave.

Your friend will be stuck holding on to that broom,

propping up the cup of water

until you or someone else decides to help them.

That is unless they want to get really, really wet.

Jake is pranking his friends Luke and Larson into believing

that they are stumbling across a bushranger's buried treasure.

We've got are smiling skeleton, now it's time to get some

inspiration for a ghostly encounter with the bushranger himself.

OK, Jake. We've got our skeleton and our curse.

It's time to do some research on the ghostly guardian of the treasure.

Where better to learn about ghosts than the old Adelaide jail.

You ready? It might be a bit spooky.

-Of course I'm ready.

-If you say so. Come with me.

-Wow! Isn't this place awesome?!

-It pretty old!

There must be a lot of ghosts in here.

Hi.

HE SCREAMS

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

I'm Penny, I'm one of the guides here.

Is there anyway I can help you guys?

Jake's pranking his friends.

Why don't you tell Penny what we're after.

I've got to catch my breath.

I'm pranking my two mates.

We are supposed to dig up some cursed treasure,

so we are here to find out some information

about bushrangers and ghosts.

OK, I think I can probably help you with that. Let's go.

Before we go, it's a little bit spooky in here,

I wish the Ninjas were here to hold my hand.

Ninjas! All right, let's get going!

-This is quite interesting.

-Penny, tell me a bit about this jail.

What's going on here?

The jail was built in 1841 and was open until 1988,

during that time there were 45 executions that took place here.

We actually have quite a lot of ghostly activity and our jail.

They might brush past you, you might see misty shapes,

you might see a solid figure, hear doors opening and closing,

or a door will suddenly open when it's been locked,

you can hear keys jangling,

you can hear voices, you can hear moans and whispers and groans

or footsteps, lots of footsteps, sometimes they follow you around

they'll follow you while you're doing tours and things like that.

Sometimes they might come up and touch you.

Ghosts may not exist.

Whether ghosts exist is subject to interpretation

and does not express the views of prank patrol.

Spoken by Prof Scotty Tweedy.

-Do we have everything we need for the prank?

-I reckon.

Penny, thank you so much for your help.

-I'm glad to have helped.

-How do we get out? Where's the exit?

Oh, in here. See you later, Penny. Come on, guys, let's get out!

Hang on! This is a jail cell! Let me out of here!

Let me out! I don't want to be in jail! Ninjas!

Oh, you're so funny, Ninja! Ha-ha!

NINJAS LAUGH

SHE SCREAMS

NINJAS LAUGH

I can fix this!

NINJAS LAUGH

NINJAS LAUGH

-What is this?

-NINJAS LAUGH

NINJAS LAUGH

Our treasure hunt prank is all set to go.

Jake has made creepy old stuff to find

and we've learned all about ghosts.

Now it's time to get down to business and bring this prank home.

Jakes friends, Luke and Larson,

will be so scared their chests will quake.

Get it? As in treasure chest.

The time's come to call Luke and Larson

-and reel them in to your prank. Who will you call first?

-Luke.

-Do you know what you're going to say?

-Yeah.

I'm going to start rubbing dirt all over myself

-and becoming Lightning Rod. Sound good?

-Sounds great!

Here we go, best of luck!

Talk to you after the phone call!

PHONE DIALS

-'Hello.'

-Is that Luke there?

-'Yeah!'

I was just wondering if you'd like to come to my uncle's place.

He's been doing some excavating and he's found some old coins

and was wondering if a few people could dig them up.

-'I'd love to!'

-Cool! I'll talk to you later.

-See you.

-'Bye!'

-Bye.

That is Luke down. Next up, we've got Larson.

Good luck!

PHONE DIALS

'Hello.'

Hi, it's Jake.

I was just wondering if you'd like to come to my uncle's place.

He's been doing a bit of excavating

and found some really old coins that might be worth a bit.

-'That sounds cool!'

-He needs a couple of helpers.

Would you like to help out?

'Yeah, sure. It'd be pretty cool.'

It's going to be great fun. Cheers, man!

-'See you.'

-Bye!

Look at that. Luke and Larson in the bag!

-How are you feeling?

-I feel pumped.

How do I look? Pretty good and dirty?

I reckon the Ninjas could give you a bit of a hand.

-Lucky you said Ninjas, do you know what time it is?

-What?

It's time to release the Ninjas!

The blueprint for our treasure hunt pranking clues.

One property scattered with pockets of coins and treasure,

one spooky skeleton holding a key,

one treasure chest filled with lost treasure,

and one super spooky ghost bushranger

who'll rise up from the dead to protect his ill gotten gains.

I hope you have a good time and everything goes well.

I'm very excited about pranking Luke and Larson, I can't wait!

It's prank day.

Jake's invited Luke and Larson over to his uncle's outback property,

to search for old treasure and artefacts.

-What they find, they might not want to keep.

-Come on over.

I'm just having a chat with Audrey. We've been digging.

Have a look around here, I'm putting in some new sheds

and we found some old coins.

'That's what we are here for!'

I'm Audrey. I'm a local historian here and this one is a great find,

absolute ripper, very old, very rare, very good condition.

-Worth anywhere between three to five.

-Three to five bucks?

No! 3,000-5,000.

Hold the phone, that's enough to get someone through Prank University.

Back in the 1800s, this site used to be an old trading post.

A trading post is where people would come to buy and sell,

that's probably why we found the coin here.

-3,000 to 4,000?

-Yeah!

-I'm going to be rich!

-3,000 to 5,000.

-3,000 to 5,000!

-Even more!

-'That's what I reckon too.'

I'm going to be rich!

'Oh, come on! Share!'

I got some metal detectors. Who is feeling rich?

'Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!'

-You should probably be careful of Lightning Rod.

-What's Lightning Rod?

Lightning Rod was a bushranger.

And he was a little bit fond of robbing people

who'd come to the trading post.

One day, during a hold-up, things went pear shaped

and he was mortally wounded and he was buried around here somewhere.

The story is that some of the stuff that he stole,

he buried, and it's never been recovered.

You're saying that she might be around here?

'Creepy!'

That's the legend. He definitely existed around these parts.

There is also a curse that goes with Lightning Rod.

I knew it! There had to be a curse.

Apparently he put a curse on anyone who was trying to find his treasure.

It's only a story, depends if you believe in that kind of thing.

'We don't believe in that nonsense!'

I'm feeling very lucky today. What do you reckon, are we feeling lucky?

ALL: Yeah.

Come on, guys! Don't worry about the curse.

-Have you ever used a metal detector before?

-No.

Luke, do you want a go or should I give it to Larson?

-I'll give it a crack.

-Here you go.

I tell you what we'll do. How about we make a deal?

-Anything we find, we go 50-50 on.

-Yeah, OK.

'Can we sign a contract?'

Shake. 50-50.

'Good, a handshake agreement.'

We found the last coin up here somewhere.

Have a swing around this area, or up here, and see what you guys find.

'Time to set the bait.'

Luke, anything?

DETECTOR BEEPS

'Bingo!'

-I think I've picked up a signal.

-Hang on! What was that?

DETECTOR BEEPS

'Sounds like a computer game.'

DETECTOR BEEPS A-ha! Hang on!

DETECTOR BEEPS

Move your metal detector back.

Jake, you come in here and have a look for us. Bring it in.

Flick some stuff around, not too deep.

-There is a high tone and a low tone in these.

-That was a low tone.

When it's a high whistle, it's normally something ferrous.

'Is that good?'

-Nonferrous is like coins.

-'That's the good tone.'

-Oh! I saw something!

-I see it!

'Jackpot!'

-Yes!

-Yes!

THEY CHEER

Oh-ho-ho!

That's a beauty, that is!

That's going to make us another 3,000 to 5,000. That's ten grand.

And then we do 50-50 on that. Can you guys dig around here some more?

I want to go and see what this is worth. Back in a sec.

'A coin each would be better.'

-Get the metal detector as well!

-You grab the metal detector.

-OK.

-I wonder what it is.

-I reckon I saw something from this angle.

Come and have a look at this.

'Oh, no! He's back again!'

-It's really deep, I think.

-Was it another coin?

DETECTOR BEEPS We got something.

'We hope so.'

There we go. Let's see if we can find anything.

-There is still something indicating there.

-You've got me excited now.

-Try moving the shovel.

-'That's right, Larson, delegate.'

There is something huge there.

-'Sounds good!'

-Looks like a treasure chest.

Oh, really?

-What's that?

-Wait, look!

'Sounds treasure chesty.'

Hey, guys. 60-40.

'Hang on, are you changing the deal? Dodgy!'

60-40? 60-40. This is getting better.

-It's beeping over here as well.

-Hang on!

-Let's get this out. Oooh!

-There is something there.

-Here we go.

Oh, yes!

Way-hey! It's been in here a long time. Look at it.

Here we go. Who is going to grab this out?

It's got heaps of coins in it.

Looks like we're going to need a key.

'A key and a lawyer.'

It feels pretty heavy.

-It's full of coins.

-Full of coins? It's got a pretty big lock on it.

I'll have to get my grinder or something. We are going to be rich!

'60-40 rich.'

This is ours, isn't it? Ours to share.

I'll just put that there for now. What did you say?

-There's something over here.

-DETECTOR BEEPS

There is something there!

-Let me just have a little look.

-It was a round here!

THEY ALL SHRIEK

-I'm thinking just leave that.

-That's a hand!

'Duh!'

Hang on, guys! Hang on! WIND WHISTLES

'That's not a nice sound.'

-That's really freaky, isn't it?

-Let's just leave it.

-Oh, there it is!

-I'm creeping out.

Maybe I should call the museum or something.

If that's just the hand, maybe there will be the whole body.

I just want to leave that.

'I'm with you!'

-I want to leave that.

-Guys, there might be more!

-I don't want to find more.

-I think we should call the museum.

I don't want to find more.

-There is a key!

-What have you got, Jake? A key?

-That might be the key for the chest.

-It could be the key to the chest.

I don't want to...

-This might be Lightning Rod.

-The bushranger?

'I wouldn't open it, boys!'

-How about we just use the key.

-You do it.

'Don't do it. I'm warning you! Don't do it!'

'That the curse of Lightning Rod! Don't do it!'

ALL: Whoa!

-Let's have a look.

-There's one of the coins. There's heaps of coins.

How many are there? We are rich!

Guys, guys, guys! 30-70.

'The deal just gets worse and worse.'

Come on! It's still plenty! Come on! 30-70. Are you piking on me?

No, I'm just a bit creeped out.

What's this?

'Looks like a scroll.'

WIND WHISTLES That noise is annoying me!

'Me too!'

Maybe I shouldn't. Can you read that?

'Hang in there, Luke.'

This is the property of Lightning Rod. Leave it be.

Anyone who disturbs this, or lays claim to it,

will suffer a great curse.

'Not the curse!'

-Signed by Lightning Rod.

-You have been warned.

I want to leave.

'I don't blame you.'

I don't want to find any more. I'm too creeped out.

'The money, Luke, the money!'

-There's a skeleton there!

-It might be worth a lot!

No, I don't want to find anything.

Look how many there are.

'Look! Money! Cash! Dollars! Dough!'

That's 5,000 each!

GROANING What's that?!

-'Forget the money and run! Before it's too late!'

-What is that?

I'm going to go and have a look. Do you want to come with me?

Yeah, I'm coming!

'It's coming from over that hill!'

-It's OK. I'll look after you.

-Guys, come here.

-Come over here.

What is that?

GROANING

'It's the curse of Lightning Rod.'

EXPLOSIONS

What is that?

Who messed with my treasure? I warned you!

-What is that?

-You messed with my treasure? I warned you!

No way!

Somebody tell me what's going on here.

-You! What's your name?

-Jake.

What's going on?

Luke and Larson, you've just been pranked by the Prank Patrol!

You've been pranked by the Prank Patrol!

How are you, Luke and Larson?

-What did you think was going on?

-They were scared to death!

Luke, you look like you're really in shock.

-Who was freaking out the most?

-Me!

-Luke was freaked to death!

-Did you think it was real treasure?

-Yeah.

The thing that probably freaked me out the most was

when I saw the scroll with the curse on it.

Anyone who disturbs this, or lays claim to it,

will suffer a great curse.

I can't believe how shocked they were.

The explosion blew my mind. It was so scary.

There is heaps of coins.

-I thought I was going to get a bit of cash there.

-30-70.

Come on! Yes!

Out of ten, how was that for a prank?

-That was a good prank.

-That was ten.

-That was ten out of ten.

That was good thinking.

This is the property of Lightning Rod. Leave it be.

Anyone who disturbs this, or lays claim to it,

will suffer a great curse.

Signed by Lightning Rod.

Are we going to be on TV?

Wave, say hello to everyone.

ALL: See you!
