00:00Make sure we'll have our heads.
00:02Not if you take a shortcut. Come on!
00:04Wait for me!
00:15Look!
00:17I thought no one lived in the cottages. There's smoke coming out from the chimney.
00:21It's probably just the children from the village playing around or something.
00:25Hurry, Jo.
00:55DARREN!
01:06DARREN!
01:10Is that the time?
01:14Oh! Get up now!
01:16And you?
01:17Miss Head Girl, you were supposed to be monitoring breakfast this morning.
01:20Sorry, Matron, I overslept.
01:22At your desk?
01:23Silly girl. Stays up to the early hours revising and she keeps me up too.
01:27Goodness knows what time I finally dozed off. I have barely slept.
01:32How long has this been going on?
01:34Days. If you keep this up any longer, I am going to get bags under my...
01:37Shh! Matron, I can explain.
01:39No! You get washed and dressed. I will be back here shortly.
01:43Thanks for that, Gwen.
01:46Ugh.
01:47I think we should go to the cottage. Take a proper look.
01:48Jo, it was just a little smoke.
01:49Well, it could have been the intruder.
01:51Do you think so?
01:52I mean, imagine. We would have solved a real mystery.
02:15It would have been brilliant.
02:16I say we should go exploring at break time.
02:19Have an adventure.
02:28I'm so sorry I missed my duties.
02:30I'm just so stressed about the higher side.
02:33There's just so much to memorise.
02:35I've spent days trying to learn the bones of the leg and foot
02:38and it's just not sticking.
02:40And how can I be a doctor if I can't even learn the basics?
02:42It's all just too much.
02:44Enough!
02:45I know how to deal with you.
02:50Like this.
02:54They're for you and Sally.
02:56Maitre wants me to take you out to get some fresh air
02:59and clear that head of yours.
03:01Up till silly o'clock revising.
03:03Hardly getting any sleep.
03:05You'll run yourself into the ground.
03:07No one can be productive if they are overworked.
03:10It's about balance.
03:12Maitre's right.
03:13You need a break.
03:14Thank you, Maitre.
03:17I just...
03:18really need to get back to work.
03:22No.
03:23What you need is to forget about it for a couple of hours.
03:26Outside.
03:27Now.
03:27Girls, can someone stay back and help me set up for my next lesson?
03:37June?
03:38Yes, mademoiselle.
03:39Happy to help.
03:40And?
03:41So is Felicity.
03:42Aren't you?
03:43Well, actually...
03:45Please.
03:47Of course.
03:49Merci beaucoup, les filles.
03:50What about the cottage?
03:52It'll have to wait.
03:57Joséphine?
03:58Are you helping too?
04:00Sorry.
04:01I have some prep work I need to finish.
04:06Drinking gingerbread during the day feels wrong.
04:13It'll be yet so right.
04:16Oh, thanks for these.
04:17Miss breakfast.
04:18How many moons does Mars have?
04:19Two.
04:20Phobos and Deimos.
04:21Meaning fear and dread.
04:23Precisely how I feel about these exams.
04:25Are those treats in your hands instead of books?
04:27Who are you and what have you done with Daryl Rivers?
04:29Join us.
04:30I wish we could, but we're on our way to the common room to meet the others.
04:33Revision is exhausting.
04:35I've barely covered the English civil wars,
04:37and I have yet to get started on the American revolution.
04:41I haven't even started on history.
04:42I've been too fixated on science.
04:44Gosh, it feels like we're absolutely drowning in information, doesn't it?
04:47Come on.
04:48Let's leave them to it.
04:51What are you doing?
04:52How can I relax when everyone else is revising?
04:55Everyone else isn't up half the night,
04:57and Maitre said you're not to open up another book until after lunch.
05:00Maitre means well.
05:02But I'll rest once exams are over.
05:30Bye.
05:30Bye.
05:31I'll rest once.
05:31Bye.
05:32Bye.
05:32Bye.
05:52Bye.
05:53Bye.
05:54Bye.
05:54Bye.
05:55Bye.
05:59Miss Vernon?
06:02I'm really worried about Daryl.
06:05Matron's plan didn't work.
06:07Oh, great. Another restless night.
06:10She's getting us off into her real tears.
06:12She's not sleeping or eating properly.
06:14We must find a way to help her relax.
06:16Well, music always helps me unwind.
06:19I say we have a feast.
06:21We deserve one.
06:22Yes, and dancing.
06:24It will loosen us up.
06:26Sounds like we're about to have a party.
06:27Smashing idea.
06:29Do we really have time to party?
06:32I think we'll have trouble convincing Daryl.
06:34Let me deal with her.
06:35Having fun is exactly what she needs to release some tension.
06:38In fact, we all do.
06:40Alright, we're on.
06:54Come in.
06:57I can't believe you're staying here.
07:06Well, it's only for a few days.
07:09Until I arrange something more permanent.
07:12Please, sit.
07:14I wasn't expecting any visitors.
07:20Otherwise, I would have spruced it up a bit.
07:30Shouldn't you be at school?
07:33Well, I mean, it seems a bit silly now, but I thought you might have been the intruder.
07:44Intruder?
07:45Someone broke into the building.
07:48Oh, how frightful.
07:50Any idea who it was?
07:52No.
07:53But when we saw the smoke from the cottage...
07:55We?
07:56Oh, Felicity and June.
07:58And me.
07:59And they...
08:01didn't come with you.
08:04Oh.
08:05Well...
08:06Actually, Felicity was meant to come with me.
08:13But it doesn't matter.
08:14She doesn't know I'm here.
08:24Well, this is all rather embarrassing.
08:30What must you think of me living like this?
08:32It just... doesn't seem right.
08:35Oh, I know, dear.
08:41Miss Grayling made it clear I'm no longer welcome.
08:46Well, you wouldn't want me to get into trouble.
08:50Of course not.
08:51I just wish there was something I could do to help.
08:55Well, it's not exactly the Ritz, but at least it's a roof over my head.
09:02Oh, um...
09:04I'm afraid I'm being a terrible host.
09:07I have nothing to offer you apart from some stale bread.
09:13Oh, Miss Fernand, you must be starving.
09:16Oh, no, no, I'll...
09:18I'll get by.
09:21Unless...
09:23Unless what?
09:24Tell me, please.
09:26You could get me some food.
09:30I can try.
09:33Oh, you are such a darling.
09:38Well then, off you go.
09:40Head back.
09:42Before the girls become suspicious, hmm?
09:45Oh, and, uh...
09:47Josephine.
09:49Promise me.
09:51Not a word to anyone.
09:55This is our little secret.
09:57I promise.
09:58Where's Jo?
09:59We thought she was with you.
10:00She said she had to finish her prep.
10:01Wherever she is, she'd better hurry up.
10:02She's getting all the mark.
10:06I think I know where she is.
10:07Hello, Jo.
10:08Oh, hello.
10:09Hello, Jo.
10:10Oh, hello.
10:11What's going on?
10:12Uh...
10:13You went back to the cottage, didn't you?
10:14What?
10:15Yes.
10:16You shouldn't have gone on your own.
10:17What if it was the intruder?
10:18It was empty.
10:19You were right, June.
10:20The smoke is probably empty.
10:21It was empty.
10:22It was empty.
10:23You were right, June.
10:24The smoke is probably empty.
10:25It was empty.
10:26It was empty.
10:27It was empty.
10:28It was empty.
10:29It was empty.
10:31It was empty.
10:32It was empty.
10:34It was empty.
10:35You were right, June.
10:36The smoke is probably some kids falling around.
10:39See?
10:40Next time, don't keep me in the dark.
10:42Especially you, Felicity.
10:43What's going on?
10:44What's going on?
10:45I...
10:46You went back to the cottage, didn't you?
10:47What?
10:48Yes.
10:49You shouldn't have gone on your own.
10:50What if it was the intruder?
10:52It was empty.
10:54You were right, June.
10:55This smoke is probably some kids falling around.
10:56See?
10:57Here we are.
11:16Tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges.
11:21Guess what? We're having a party tonight.
11:23We've decided we all deserve a break from studying.
11:25Our last feet before the exams.
11:27That's lovely, but I'm afraid I can't join you.
11:30Come on, Daryl. Irene just got new records.
11:32And Mary Lou and Bill went to the village to get trees.
11:35I'm sorry. I just need to revise.
11:38Never forgive myself if I failed.
11:40I told you.
11:46Alicia?
11:47Agree to join us later and you can have it back?
11:49No, give it back to me.
11:52Alicia, I'm being serious.
11:54We're serious about you needing a break.
11:56Stop it, Alicia.
11:57Alicia.
11:58I said stop!
12:01No one will have a party.
12:02That is my orders to say, girl.
12:05No, just leave me alone.
12:13I'm sorry.
12:15Daryl's right.
12:16Cancel the party.
12:17I'm going to join her and revise.
12:19Go on, scram.
12:20We need to get to work.
12:22I'll go get my books.
12:22Don't worry.
12:30I have a plan.
12:36Come in.
12:38Oh, there's trouble for little old me.
12:41I brought everything I have.
12:45I knew I could rely on you.
12:53If there's anything else you need, just ask.
12:57If only it were that easy.
13:00What do you mean?
13:01Well, I know I didn't grow up at Mallory Towers like Miss Grayling, but seeing so many memories
13:09of my late father just reminds me that, well, I have nothing.
13:16Not a single photograph or painting.
13:22Not even his chess set.
13:28The one we used in the film?
13:31Yes, it was very dear to my father.
13:35Such a treasured memory.
13:37Miss Grayling, let me take it.
13:41That doesn't sound like the Miss Grayling I know.
13:43Sadly, it sounds like the cousin that I do.
13:46Maybe, maybe I just have to accept that I'll never get it back.
13:56Miss Vernon, please don't cry.
13:58No.
14:00I'll get it for you.
14:02Oh, no, no, no.
14:03I couldn't possibly ask you to do that.
14:06Go behind your headmistress' back.
14:08Absolutely not.
14:09It means so much to you.
14:11Please, let me help.
14:12Oh, well, how?
14:13Oh, it's now all locked away in the study.
14:18Oh.
14:21I didn't think of that.
14:24I have an idea.
14:27Which might work.
14:29What is it?
14:30A skeleton key.
14:38Huh?
14:39It's a key that can unlock all types of doors.
14:42Why do you have one?
14:47Uh, well, I needed it to lock the cottage, of course.
14:52One can never be too careful.
14:56Anyway, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
15:01What are you thinking?
15:04That it might work on the cabinet inside Miss Grayling's study.
15:10Well, there's only one way to find out.
15:13You would do that for me?
15:16So, how does it work?
15:21Is it like any other key?
15:23Yes.
15:24But you have to do it at night, when everyone's asleep.
15:31Oh, no, I can't.
15:33If you're caught, we'd be in such trouble.
15:36But I won't be caught.
15:37And if I am, I'll think of something.
15:39I won't mention you.
15:41Oh.
15:42You really are the most wonderful little girl.
15:48So kind, caring, and giving.
15:52It's such a shame that your mother can't see for herself.
15:56I know she would have been as proud of you as I am.
16:03Hmm.
16:05I'm just glad I can make you proud.
16:07Oh.
16:09Oh, come on then.
16:31Okay, where is your patella?
16:33In the leg.
16:35More specific?
16:36In the...
16:36Right, bedtime.
16:38But just five more minutes.
16:39Gwen, please.
16:41Another word, and I'll have matron up here.
16:43Let's just go to the common room.
16:44Let's go.
16:45Okay.
16:46Let's go.
16:49Okay.
16:56Let's go.
16:56Let's go.
16:57Okay.
16:59Oh, my God.
17:29Oh, my God.
17:59I don't mind revising alone if you want to sleep.
18:03I'm not leaving you.
18:06Surprise!
18:08Daryl Rivers, as your fellow Six Formers,
18:11and most importantly, friends,
18:13you demand that you relax.
18:15Though I do need to catch up on my beauty sleep,
18:18I could hardly resist a party.
18:20You planned all of this.
18:22I'm surprised you weren't suspicious
18:23when I chose revising over having fun.
18:26I turn the music off.
18:29Now.
18:32My exams are more important to me than having fun.
18:36So are ours, Daryl.
18:37And you're not the only one who's stressed.
18:39We all are.
18:40Well, then I won't stop you,
18:43but I'm going back to my room.
18:45Don't you get it?
18:47Seeing you so worked up and sleep-deprived is upsetting.
18:50We can't relax unless you do.
18:52Remember what Matron told you about balance?
18:55It's our last time to make memories together.
18:57Please, Daryl.
19:01For us.
19:04I'm lucky to have you all.
19:06I really am.
19:13But...
19:14But...
19:15I can't party while carrying these books.
19:18I read music and pass me that ginger beer.
19:21LAUGHTER
19:22LAUGHTER
19:30LAUGHTER
19:31LAUGHTER
19:32LAUGHTER
19:33LAUGHTER

19:51HE SIGHS
20:52It's snail home.
20:54Mine is funnier.
20:56You can say that again.
20:57It's more like, it's a giant shell of absurdity, but I'll always snail home, snail home to thee.
21:04It's a crazy world out there of exams and studying, but we won't fail, we won't fail, you'll see.
21:15Of friends partying together, freeze up the mind perfectly, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges.
21:25Goodness, I've got it.
21:26That's a super mnemonic, sing it again.
21:29Friends partying together, freeze up the mind perfectly, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges.
21:39To Daryl acing it, and to our final feast at Mallory Towers.
21:46Woo-hoo!
22:05Woo!
22:12Woo!
22:13Woo!
22:24Woo!
22:35Josephine Jones. What are you doing out of bed?
22:45I... I just couldn't sleep.
22:48I can see that.
22:49I mean, I've got this really bad headache and I just wanted some fresh air.
22:56No, you'll do no such thing up at this hour. It's no wonder you have a headache. Back to bed.
23:05Wait, look.
23:14Aw, look everyone.
23:20Oh, thank heavens. I can finally sleep in peace.
23:23Turn off the music.
23:25Okay, let's go.
23:35Good night, Daryl.
23:44Good night, Daryl.
23:45Oh, I was beginning to worry!
24:00Oh, I was beginning to worry.
24:10I am so sorry, Miss Vernon.
24:14Matron called to me last night.
24:16Oh, Josephine.
24:20I've got it.
24:23Josephine, how can I ever thank you?
24:26You deserve it.
24:30I'd better get back before Matron's rounds.
24:34Oh, of course.
24:37Will I see you again before you leave?
24:40Oh, better not risk it, dear.
24:44But before I go, if I ever need you, I'll send a signal.
24:50Smoke from the chimney.
24:53And I'll be right here when you do.
24:54Oh, oh.
24:58Goodbye, Miss Vernon.
25:00Goodbye, sweet girl.
25:03Bye.
25:06Bye.
25:06Goodbye.
25:06Bye.
25:07Hey, hey.
