00:00Typical matron, why must she be so strict?
00:11My cold's practically gone, I've only sneezed once this morning.
00:15I'm sorry, but nothing gets past matron.
00:18Another day cooped up in here.
00:21I was so looking forward to the trip.
00:23And seeing Felicity.
00:25Felicity!
00:27Please Mary Lou, I feel fine.
00:29I'm sure I can still go to the theatre.
00:31You heard matron, straight to bed.
00:33I'll bring you a blanket.
00:35The cold's got you tea.
00:37It's rotten timing.
00:40I'm sorry you can't go to the theatre with the rest of the school.
00:43There'll be other trips.
00:45I wish I could help more.
00:47Feel better soon girls.
00:49At least we're all here together.
00:51Perhaps we could have some fun.
00:53How much fun can we have in the sand?
00:55Well yeah, matron will be back any minute.
00:58Don't worry, I'll think of something.
01:03Miss Grayling, I thought I could stay back with the girls.
01:06I'm happy to look after them.
01:08Wonderful.
01:09Matron will be delighted to attend the theatre.
01:12I'll tell her Miss Lyneth is in charge.
01:16Thank you Miss Grayling.
01:18I won't let you down.
01:48Everyone's gone.
01:51Now we just need a matron decoy.
01:54Surprise!
01:55Oh, Jean, why are you out of bed?
01:57She was just getting me some water.
01:59Did you forget something?
02:01Change of plans?
02:02Miss Grayling has entrusted me to stay behind.
02:05So it will just be the four of us in this school?
02:08Don't worry.
02:09I'll only be in the art room.
02:10And I'll come and check on you every hour.
02:12Don't feel like you need to take care of us.
02:14We'll be as good as gold.
02:15Yes?
02:16Sleeping like babies!
02:18Rest up.
02:19I have an art project to finish, but I'll pop by at three o'clock.
02:33Hurrah!
02:34I'll take Miss Lyneth's babysitting over Matron's any day.
02:37I'm going to the stables.
02:39Really?
02:40We only have an hour before Mary Lou comes back.
02:42We'll be back before then.
02:44I promise.
02:48This calls for a feast.
02:52Some tuck to feed your cold.
02:54Don't let Mary Lou see you.
02:55You're supposed to be recovering from a fever.
03:18Hello, boy.
03:19I have missed you so much.
03:22I missed you too.
03:24Fred, I was talking to Mary Lex.
03:27I know.
03:28It has been a while though.
03:30I've not been very well.
03:32It's the first time in a week I've seen the outside.
03:35I'm my darling boy.
03:37Sorry to hear that.
03:38You look good though.
03:39You don't look poorly, I mean.
03:42I'm pretty much better.
03:45Plus, riding is the best medicine.
03:47Yeah, nothing beats riding.
03:49What should we go together?
03:51Will you take turns with Mary Lex?
03:53Oh, no, I didn't mean...
03:54Come on.
03:55What's the point of mucking out if you can't ride?
03:58It's the best bit.
04:00Um...
04:03You're first.
04:04I'm zest.
04:05Alright, if you say so.
04:09Come on, boy.
04:10Mary Lex.
04:12Off we go.
04:13Nice and easy.
04:16Here, Fred.
04:17You take him.
04:22Whoa, whoa.
04:23Steady, boy.
04:24Steady.
04:25Mary Lex.
04:26Mary Lex.
04:28What's happened?
04:29Right.
04:30I've always wanted to, but I've never actually sat on a pooling before.
04:33You should have said.
04:35Let's begin this trick.
04:36Try again, I'll lift this leg up.
04:38Three, two, one.
04:40I'm off.
04:42All set?
04:44Yeah.
04:45Walk Mary Lex.
04:59Hello?
05:00Who's that?
05:01Are you all right?
05:14Wait!
05:16What?
05:17Wait!
05:27Good afternoon, girls.
05:29I am your new form tutor.
05:31Miss Lynette.
05:36Good afternoon, girls.
05:37I am your new form tutor.
05:39Miss Lynette.
05:40Hmm.
05:49Miss Lynette.
05:50What are you doing?
05:51Look, I snapped all these jam buns from the post-trip tea.
06:04There was another girl here just now.
06:06Huh?
06:07Who?
06:08I couldn't see her face, but she ran away like I'd caught her doing something wrong.
06:12No one's here apart from Clarissa or Mary Lou.
06:15Maybe it was one of them.
06:17She had blonde hair.
06:18A bit like Clarissa's, but she was taller.
06:22Probably a sick former.
06:24Maybe you're delirious.
06:27I'm not that ill.
06:29I really think she was up to something.
06:31Let's go and look for her.
06:35Alright.
06:36Mystery girl.
06:37We're coming to find you.
06:52Perhaps she's in the classroom?
06:57No.
06:58Not here.
07:01School is so spooky when it's empty.
07:06She has to be here somewhere.
07:09Dorns, common rooms, classrooms.
07:12What have we missed?
07:29Boo!
07:31What if it was a ghost you saw?
07:33A Mary Towers girl stuck here forever and ever.
07:38Mmm.
07:40Well, she ran out of the door.
07:42She didn't walk through it.
07:44We have half an hour before Mary Lou comes back.
07:47What about the changing rooms?
07:48Come on, boy.
07:49You're welcome.
07:50Easy, isn't it?
07:51It's like riding a bike except hairy and slow.
08:00Does it go any faster?
08:01Sounds like you're ready to trot.
08:02Tighten your reins and squeeze them with your legs.
08:03All right.
08:04Tighten your reins and squeeze them with your legs.
08:05All right.
08:06Tighten and squeeze.
08:07Come on, boy.
08:08Uh, hold on.
08:09Hold on.
08:10It might be a little bit bouncy.
08:11My teeth are going to fall out.
08:12Stand up and down on your saddle.
08:13Matches rhythm.
08:14Uh, I'm doing it.
08:15Um, how do I stop?
08:16Hold on, Fred.
08:17Pull on his reins.
08:18Pull on his reins.
08:19All right.
08:20I'm doing it.
08:21Um, how do I stop?
08:22Hold on, Fred.
08:23Pull on his reins.
08:24Pull on his reins.
08:25Does it go any faster?
08:26Does it go any faster?
08:27Sounds like you're ready to trot.
08:28Tighten your reins and squeeze them with your legs.
08:29All right.
08:30Tighten and squeeze them with your legs.
08:31All right.
08:32Tighten and squeeze.
08:33Come on, boy.
08:34Uh, hold on.
08:35It might be a little bit bouncy.
08:36My teeth are going to fall out.
08:37Stand up and down on your saddle.
08:38Matches rhythm.
08:39Uh, I'm doing it.
08:40Um, how do I stop?
08:41Hold on, Fred.
08:42Pull on his reins.
08:43Whoa.
08:44That's it?
08:45Storm Marylegs.
08:46Whoa, boy.
08:47I thought I was a goner.
08:48I might take a little break.
08:49Right.
08:50Um, how do I...?
08:51Maybe I'll just stay up here.
08:52Lean forwards.
08:53Lift that leg over.
08:54And let yourself down.
08:56Okay.
08:57Okay.
08:58Okay.
08:59Um, how do I...?
09:00Maybe I'll just stay up here.
09:02Lean forwards.
09:03Lift that leg over.
09:04And let yourself down.
09:05Okay.
09:06Okay.
09:07Okay.
09:08Okay.
09:09I should probably be getting back.
09:16Okay, it's getting late.
09:17Want to split?
09:18You can have half if you want.
09:19It's cheese and pickle.
09:20All I've had for days is chicken soup.
09:22Yes, please.
09:23Stop Marylegs.
09:24Stop Marylegs.
09:25Thanks.
09:26Thanks.
09:2710 minutes till we have to be back in the sun.
09:30This was fun, but I've been trapped for days.
09:31The last thing I want is detention.
09:32What was that sound?
09:33I'm not falling for it.
09:34No, I'm serious.
09:35I heard something.
09:36It's her.
09:37It's just Marylou.
09:38Marylou.
09:39Marylou!
09:40Thanks.
09:45Ten minutes till we have to be back in the sun.
09:47This was fun, but I've been trapped for days.
09:50The last thing I want is detention.
09:53What was that sound?
09:54I'm not falling for it.
09:56No, I'm serious. I heard something.
09:59It's her.
10:01It's just Mary Lou.
10:03Mary Lou!
10:04Oh!
10:09How does my prosperity...
10:18Hello?
10:21Is anyone there?
10:26Miss Lynette, you are imagining things.
10:29That was too close. We have to get back. Now.
10:38Quick, or she'll see us.
10:43That was not Mary Lou.
10:44Hurry, we'll never catch her.
10:50Where did she go?
10:53Miss Grayling's study.
10:54It's locked.
10:59It's locked.
11:01Let's try the other door.
11:07This one is locked too.
11:13I can see her.
11:17Who are you?
11:18She's snooping around.
11:23Looking for... something.
11:25You were right.
11:26It's not your imagination.
11:28It's not Clarissa or Mary Lou.
11:30Well, who is it then? I can't tell.
11:32She's trying to get into the cabinet.
11:38Wait here.
11:39I can't tell you.
11:48Ron always makes fun of me for not knowing how to ride.
11:51Old brothers are the worst.
11:53Peddy's always teasing me.
11:56You just have to get them back.
11:57I tease Ron for his crush on Gwen.
12:00Ron likes Gwen?
12:02He's always talking about her.
12:07Right.
12:09Are you sweet on anyone?
12:11Me?
12:13No.
12:14Are you?
12:16No.
12:17Definitely not.
12:21I should be getting back.
12:22Mary Lou will be checking up on us soon.
12:25Please, can you take Mary Legs back to the stables?
12:28Of course.
12:28Thanks for the lesson.
12:30We can do it again.
12:32Practice makes perfect.
12:37Come on, Mary Legs.
12:38Nice ride back.
12:50Mary Legs!
12:51Mary Legs, come back!
12:55Mary Legs!
12:56I've got some sweet green grass for you.
12:59I can't tell that I've lost yet.
13:00What am I going to do now?
13:06June, Clarissa, Felicity, ginger biscuits, my great-granny's cure for a...
13:13Oh, my God.
13:21Should have known.
13:22Come on.
13:42Come on.
13:43Come on.
13:43If I can just push the key...
13:54It worked.
13:56She was right here a minute ago.
14:07The window.
14:08We were so close.
14:10She must have something bad to hide if she climbed out a window.
14:13What?
14:13Worse than sneaking into Miss Grayling's study.
14:16What do you think she wants?
14:18Quick.
14:18You might still find her outside.
14:30Clarissa?
14:31Mary Lou!
14:33Were you out at the stables?
14:35When you have a cold, you're under orders to stay in bed.
14:38I wasn't riding.
14:39I trusted you.
14:41I'm sorry, Mary Lou.
14:42I was really desperate to see Mary Legs.
14:46Well, at least you're not hurt or lost.
14:49Where are June and Felicity?
14:50I left them in the sand.
14:52I'm the only one who sneaked out.
14:53No, I saw the empty beds.
14:55Be honest.
14:57Look, I can overlook this.
14:57I just need you all back in the sand now.
14:59I really don't know where they are.
15:03Well, I need to find them, then, before everyone gets back.
15:05I can help you.
15:06Look.
15:06Look, it's my responsibility.
15:08Just, you're to stay in the sand.
15:10And no more Mary Legs.
15:11Do you understand?
15:15Yes, Mary Lou.
15:27So, she came out of the window around here?
15:31Which way do you think she went?
15:32Clarissa?
15:38What are you doing here?
15:41You know, boys aren't allowed in the school.
15:43What if Mary Lou sees you?
15:44It's an emergency.
15:46I'm so sorry.
15:48Mary Legs, you ran away.
15:51What?
15:51I tried to ride him again and I fell off.
15:54He escaped.
15:55I couldn't catch him up.
15:58Are you hurt?
15:59I'm fine.
16:00I just need help getting him back.
16:03Mary Legs always thinks of his stomach.
16:05Well, he's probably in the orchard.
16:07Come on.
16:09Felicity?
16:10June?
16:14Clarissa?
16:14I see how it is.
16:24Felicity Rivers and June Johns.
16:26Mary Lou.
16:26We can explain.
16:26I don't want to hear it.
16:28I'm so disappointed in all of you.
16:30Back to the sand right now.
16:32You don't understand.
16:33Someone else stayed behind.
16:35She broke into Miss Grayling's study.
16:36I said back to the...
16:37What?
16:39What about Miss Grayling's study?
16:41We saw her in there.
16:42She had locked the doors.
16:43When she heard us coming in,
16:44she escaped through the window.
16:45You were in Miss Grayling's study?
16:48Oh, no, no, no, no.
16:49You were only trying to catch her.
16:50Someone bunked off the trip.
16:52Another girl I need to find.
16:53And a potential thief.
16:55Think, what would Miss Lennon do?
17:04I saw her trying to get into this cabinet.
17:08This drawer's been opened.
17:09What if she were looking for the key?
17:11Don't look inside.
17:12These are Miss Grayling's private things.
17:14Come on.
17:15Or maybe she was trying to get into the cabinet,
17:18but she ran out of time because she heard...
17:21This isn't funny.
17:27If this is a prank, tell me now.
17:29We shouldn't even be in here.
17:30It's not a prank.
17:32She was here.
17:32So, this girl, you first saw her in the salon.
17:39What was she doing?
17:39Well, Felicity was the one who saw her.
17:41I was out getting jam buns.
17:43Jam buns?
17:45I didn't pop up for long.
17:47I had to brighten up our day somehow.
17:49Disobeying orders, sneaking off and stealing food
17:52when you're supposed to be recovering.
17:54I didn't steal anything.
17:56I just got out as early.
17:58Making up stories and need to be on a wild goose chase.
18:01We're not fibbing about the girl.
18:02There really was someone in there.
18:04Well, clearly, I'm just a laughingstock.
18:06A failure of a teacher.
18:08Of course I'm not.
18:08Marilee, that's not true.
18:11Look, the bus will be returning soon.
18:14I need to round up Clarissa.
18:16Just go.
18:16Go.
18:16Mary Legs!
18:34Mary Legs!
18:35Look, hoof prints.
18:37This isn't right.
18:39He wouldn't just run away.
18:43Something must have spooked him.
18:45This is all my fault.
18:47I just wish you did what I asked.
18:53Leave me alone, Fred.
18:57What did you say?
19:00Mary Legs!
19:02Where have you been, boy?
19:06He's blowing.
19:09And his coat's all shiny like someone's ridden him.
19:13It wasn't me.
19:14Mary, I...
19:14I fell off.
19:18Someone's ridden you.
19:21But who?
19:33Right.
19:34I need to head back to the sand.
19:36Can I trust him with you, Fred?
19:37Of course.
19:38I'm so sorry.
19:39I never meant for any of this.
19:42Clarissa Carter.
19:44I would never have expected this from you.
19:47Mary Legs weren't missing.
19:48I had to go look for him.
19:49Riding again, right after you promised you wouldn't.
19:52Nobody listens to Miss Lynette.
19:54But I didn't ride Mary Legs anywhere.
19:56I saw a girl in Mallory Tower's uniform galloping into the woods.
20:00I'm not a complete fool.
20:02So someone did ride him.
20:04But Mary Lou wasn't me, I swear.
20:07She's telling the truth.
20:08And it was my fault she used to go looking for Mary Legs in the first place.
20:14I know what I saw.
20:18Clarissa, come with me.
20:20Thanks for having my back.
20:22Maybe I can make it up to you?
20:24We could go for ice cream at the weekend.
20:26Clarissa, I mean it.
20:28Maybe.
20:29If I'm not in lifelong detention.
20:37I didn't recognise her.
20:38Well, I didn't see her face.
20:40She was a lot taller than the rest of the sixth form, though.
20:46Clarissa!
20:49Mary Lou.
20:51We were just going to bed.
20:52The bus will be here any minute.
20:54I will tell Miss Grayling about the mystery girl
20:56and she can decide what to make of it.
21:00Please don't tell her about me sneaking out to get the buns.
21:04We're really sorry about today.
21:06Yes, I'm sorry too.
21:08But please stay in your beds from now on.
21:10We will.
21:10We will.
21:15Someone was riding Mary Legs.
21:18A Mallory Tower's girl.
21:19But I don't know who.
21:22Our mystery girl.
21:23Everything appears to be in order.
21:28No signs of forced entry.
21:30And I very well may have left the window open.
21:33What do you think, Mary Lou?
21:36It could be a tall tale.
21:38A trick on Miss Lynette.
21:39But at the same time, I...
21:41Yes?
21:44An intruder.
21:45A break-in.
21:46It's a bit extreme for a prank or a cover story.
21:49Well, it certainly isn't one I've heard before.
21:51And then there's the girl riding Clarissa's pony.
21:54I can't make sense of it.
21:56They said they saw the girl trying to get into that cabinet.
21:59That cabinet?
22:00This year's exam papers, my personal post, and my grandfather's chess set.
22:15Everything is just as I left it.
22:17Maybe they really were pulling my leg.
22:20I'll get Matron to have a word.
22:22I'm sorry to have wasted your time today.
22:24I've let myself down and I've let you down.
22:26No, no, you will write to inform me.
22:31I think I'm coming down with that cold.
22:36And I still have an art project to finish.
22:38I find Miss Lynette, after a day in charge of unruly girls,
22:43a cup of cocoa and an early night sets things right for us teachers.
22:48Something doesn't add up.
23:09Right here is where I saw her.
23:10This hangar falling, it could be what woke me up.
23:18So, she got a dress from that draining outside,
23:23and then she came in here to get changed.
23:27That's the least strange thing I've heard all day.
23:30Wait, she ran out that door?
23:33But what if she came in through that door?
23:40From outside?
23:42Yes.
23:44What if she didn't just sneak into Miss Grayling's study?
23:47She sneaked into the school.
23:49Stole a dress as a disguise.
23:51Because she's not a Mallory Towers girl.
23:54She's just pretending to be one.
23:56But why would a stranger break into our school
23:59and take a ride on Mary Legs?
24:02What might they be after?
