TEXT: The Smugglers 5:50pm - 6:15pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1. THE CHURCH CRYPT (The series theme music ends. The serial title appears on the screen over the image of CHERUB's knife sticking out of the dead body of KEWPER.) THE SMUGGLERS (The serial title fades out. The writer credit appears.) by BRIAN HAYLES (The writer credit fades out. The episode title appears.) (The episode title fades out. The scene widens to a full view of the crypt. CHERUB is descending the stairs with his pistol drawn, and he has just thrown his knife into KEWPER's back. CHERUB takes aim at the SQUIRE, and shoots him in the shoulder. The SQUIRE collapses.) POLLY: (Screams.) Ben, do something. BEN: You maniac! CHERUB: Is there any more that fancies a free trip to Davey Jones, eh? (CHERUB retrieves his knife and wipes the blood off onto KEWPER's body.) DOCTOR: By stabbing a man in the back, sir? You had us all at your mercy. There was no need for you to kill Kewper. CHERUB: I fancy better odds than five against one, Sawbones. DOCTOR: What is it you want of us? CHERUB: Why, the secret, of course. Where Avery's gold lies. DOCTOR: And suppose we refuse to tell you? CHERUB: Do you fancy these lads of yours meeting their maker so young, eh Sawbones? (POLLY has gone over to tend to the SQUIRE.) DOCTOR: I'm not going to barter with you, sir. Where is your captain? CHERUB: Oh, you fancy you'll twist him round to your way, would you? DOCTOR: He would at least listen. CHERUB: Not here, matey. There's only one skipper here - me. BEN: You're alone, then? CHERUB: That's right, mate
