00:30To be continued...
01:00You're already sounding like a nurse, Sally.
01:01Just imagine.
01:02Our entire future depends on the next few hours.
01:04Can you all buck up, please?
01:06You're going to need to make me nervous.
01:07No need for nerves.
01:08Not if you're properly prepped.
01:10Now, chop chop.
01:12The dining hall is all set up.
01:14I'll see you downstairs shortly.
01:15Oh, I almost forgot.
01:17This came for you, Gwen.
01:19Is that a Swiss stamp I spy?
01:21From the finishing school?
01:23It must be.
01:30Are you going to open it, Gwen?
01:32No, I don't dare.
01:34What if it's a no?
01:35What if it's a yes?
01:39Whatever it says, it's not the end of the world.
01:41It's not bad news, is it?
01:56No.
01:56Bit jolly, Gwen isn't.
01:58I'm in!
02:00Thank you so much with it!
02:01I knew you could do it.
02:04Gwen, I'm so happy for you.
02:08Pirates will be so pleased.
02:10My mother will.
02:11She backed me to the hilt.
02:12Father didn't want me to go at all.
02:14Well done.
02:15Congratulations, Gwen.
02:16He can't be so very much against it.
02:18He signed the form, didn't he?
02:19Yes, of course.
02:21Well deserved.
02:22Such marvellous news, Gwen.
02:23Well done.
02:25Right, sixth form, it's time for the starts.
02:27We're going to smash it.
02:28Good luck, everyone.
02:55I do feel for you so.
02:57You're not sitting the exams, Gwen?
02:59I already have my place.
03:01I don't need to.
03:02Has Miss Grayling given permission?
03:05Go and speak to her straight away.
03:07And come straight back if she says no.
03:09Vas-y, vite.
03:09We must start now.
03:10Turn over your papers.
03:32You may begin.
03:33You may begin.
04:03Miss Varnoos, I saw the flame from the chimney.
04:29Hold on, Josephine.
04:31Miss Varnoos.
04:32I saw the signal, the signal.
04:34I waited so long.
04:36Is everything all right?
04:37Oh.
04:38What's that?
04:40You remember Miss Grayling giving me that parcel of old papers?
04:46Well, look what I found inside.
04:50I don't understand.
04:56I believe it to be my grandfather's final will and testament.
05:01I hereby revoke all wills made by me at any time have.
05:09Goodness, they really did use funny language, didn't they?
05:12It's this bit that made me gasp.
05:16Look who this will leaves Mallory Towers to.
05:19Vernon Grayling?
05:21I thought Miss Grayling's father's name was Edmund.
05:25It was.
05:26Vernon was my father.
05:28Mallory Towers was left to my family, not Miss Grayling's.
05:33So, that means Mallory Towers is yours and not Miss Grayling's at all.
05:40Oh, but it's all water under the bridge now.
06:06Well, I should probably just restart my life somewhere new.
06:12But you can't, Miss Vernon.
06:13I'd miss you too much.
06:14You have to tell Miss Grayling right away.
06:16How can I?
06:18My cousin already thinks the worst of me.
06:20She'll assume there's something off.
06:22She can't argue with a legal document.
06:25Well, her solicitors can.
06:26They thought I was somehow behind it.
06:29They'd find a way to weasel their way out.
06:30But that's not fair.
06:31Oh, it's such a shame I was the one to find the will.
06:35If only someone else could have stumbled across it.
06:41I wish someone did.
06:44Well, I suppose, now that I come to think of it, someone could.
06:51Whoever do you mean?
06:52Why, Josephine, you, you could take it to my cousin and say that you found it, couldn't you?
07:00I'm not sure.
07:08What is there to be unsure about?
07:11It's so simple.
07:14Miss Grayling will see straight through me like a shot.
07:17Well then, why not hide it for someone else to find it?
07:24I don't understand.
07:25Come.
07:29Put it somewhere in school.
07:32The sort of place it might really have been lost for decades.
07:36How about my grandfather's desk, hmm?
07:40Or under the grandfather clock?
07:42No, I think the desk down the back of the drawer.
07:46Then what?
07:47Well, if you just helped one of the other girls stumble across it, then you wouldn't have to speak to my cousin at all.
07:55Do you really think that would work?
07:57Well, I think it's the only way I could possibly stay at Mallory Towers.
08:07So would you do it for me?
08:15If I were to, what would happen to the school?
08:26Mr. Lacey.
08:28Miss Grayling.
08:29I'm afraid she's still sitting her examinations right now.
08:32Well, I'll need to see her the moment she's finished.
08:34Did you receive this letter also?
08:46Gwendolyn.
08:48Why aren't you sitting your exam?
08:52What would happen to the school?
08:55Nothing, of course.
08:57Miss Grayling could keep running it.
08:59It would just mean I couldn't be thrown out on the streets again.
09:02So she'd be able to stay?
09:04Of course.
09:06Josephine, you know me.
09:09I'll always be scrupulously fair.
09:17So, what do you say?
09:23Please use my study to speak privately.
09:26Sit down, Gwendolyn.
09:34It's time we talked.
09:35Can we not speak about the silly exam?
09:42We have much more exciting things to speak about now.
09:45The higher set doesn't matter.
09:46Oh, it matters very much.
09:48You'll have to re-sit next year.
09:50No, I can't.
09:52I'm going to finishing school.
09:53Yes, the application form that I did not sign.
10:00Can you just let me explain what happened?
10:01Actually, I need to explain some things.
10:05I signed it because I didn't want you to miss the deadline.
10:08And I knew that we just needed to talk through things properly.
10:11There's nothing more to talk through.
10:12I'm afraid you are not going to finishing school.
10:17Because I signed, Foy.
10:21Because I didn't take the exam.
10:23You can't punish me like that.
10:27You speak to Mother.
10:29She'll back me up.
10:29Your mother already knows my reasons.
10:33Fully agrees with my decision.
10:34Well, we've always spoken about me going to finishing school.
10:37You know that that is the only thing that I've ever wanted.
10:39It's not a possibility, Gwendolyn.
10:43I've already turned down the place.
10:49What?
10:51What am I going to do now?
10:54You can't do that to me.
10:55Do you not love me at all?
10:57Look, if you will just let me explain.
10:59Explain what?
11:00What?
11:02See, you've just ruined everything.
11:07I never want to see you again in my life.
11:25That's my girl.
11:27Well, then.
11:29Off you go.
11:33Oh, and Jojo.
11:35One last thing.
11:37If I might inherit the house,
11:39it seems wrong to hold on to this.
11:43The chess set.
11:44Would you mind putting it back for me?
11:46I'd hate for my cousin to realize that it went missing.
11:51Oh, and pop the will into here.
11:56Hmm?
11:56Keep it safe.
11:58Hmm?
11:59Pants down.
12:17Now you can really relax.
12:40I take it she wouldn't miss him.
12:42I expected as much.
12:45I've written her a letter.
12:47Perhaps he would give it to her.
12:50Try again tomorrow when she's had some time to calm down.
12:53You could see her at the final assembly.
12:57Do you have time to join us?
12:59Come on.
13:08I don't know.
13:38How was it?
13:49All my questions came up.
13:50Weren't we lucky with the topics?
13:52We can finally celebrate.
13:53Cook promised ginger beer and Bakewell tarts.
13:56Daryl, are you coming with us?
13:57I'll join you in a minute.
14:08I'll join you in a minute.
14:38I'll join you in a minute.
14:41Jo, what an odd.
14:43Ow!
14:45Where were you?
14:46We're supposed to have finished packing.
14:48Come on, make sure it's having kittens.
14:49I...
14:49A whole shilling rolled underneath.
14:52Do you mind helping me find it?
14:55Jo...
14:56No, I can't see it for the life of me.
15:08Wait.
15:11What's this?
15:13It looks very official.
15:15Ooh, what does it say?
15:21It seems to be something to do with the Grayling family.
15:25In that case, we should take it straight to Miss Grayling.
15:28It's a will.
15:29I leave on to my firstborn son, Vernon Grayling, the estate of Mallory Towers.
15:34You really have to show Miss Grayling.
15:36Come on, Felicity.
15:52Miss Lacy?
15:53Daryl?
15:53Mm-hmm.
16:02Gwen?
16:03What happened?
16:07What's wrong?
16:09Everything.
16:10My life is over.
16:11I don't understand.
16:12Three hours ago, you were walking on air.
16:14Yeah, well, that was before I saw my father.
16:15He is the most selfish, horrid man.
16:17How can you talk about your father like that?
16:19Because it's true, Daryl.
16:22What was that noise?
16:29Shh.
16:33Gwen, it's your father's car.
16:36I suppose it's stuck.
16:37And he makes a mockery of my driving.
16:48Come in.
16:50How can I help you girls?
16:52Felicity.
16:52Um, we found this.
16:56I was up in the dorm and then Josephine wasn't there, so I went downstairs and then she was
17:00on the floor in the hallway and she was looking for a coin and then I found it under
17:04the desk.
17:05We think it's important.
17:07I don't understand.
17:08You found this behind the desk?
17:12Oh, well, not me.
17:14It was Felicity.
17:16We think it must have been there for decades.
17:18Yes, it must have been.
17:22Well, you were right to bring it to me.
17:24What does it say?
17:28Well, it appears the ownership of the school is not as I thought.
17:37Gwen, there's something wrong.
17:39He's not well.
17:41Thank heavens you heard me.
17:42What is it?
17:43What happened?
17:44My chest.
17:46I think it's his heart.
17:47Gwen, quick.
17:48Come help.
17:49I'll run back to school and call an ambulance.
17:51I don't understand.
17:52Father.
17:55Daddy?
17:56Gwen, you need to keep him sitting up.
17:58Keep him talking.
17:59Find a blanket if there is one.
18:00I'll run back as fast as I can.
18:01Dara, Dara, you can't go.
18:03You're the one that can help him.
18:05You know, first aid, I'm good with things like that.
18:10You stay.
18:12I'll go.
18:13I'm going to fetch you a blanket, Mr. Lacey.
18:28I'm going to let you keep you warm.
18:30Try and sit back.
18:32Deep breaths.
18:33I'm going to loosen your time.
18:34Here.
18:35Oh, thank you, Daryl.
18:37Don't talk.
18:37Just focus on your breathing.
18:39In and out.
18:40Gwen!
18:41She'll be back soon.
18:42She's just going to get help.
18:43Oh, she was so angry.
18:46You have to tell her, I'm sorry.
18:49I've not been the best of fathers.
18:52She doesn't think that.
18:54Please.
18:58Give her this.
18:59You really don't need to worry about that right now.
19:01Please.
19:02I might not get the chance to say it myself.
19:07Of course you will.
19:12Mr. Lacey, I need you to stay with me.
19:15What will you tell Miss Vernon?
19:19Please help Miss Groening.
19:21My father's just collapsed and I've called an ambulance.
19:23Girls, this will have to wait.
19:24He's going to come.
19:32He's here!
19:41Very well.
19:43We'll take it.
19:45Here you are, Sid.
19:46He's in the car.
19:48Oh, don't.
19:49I'm sorry.
19:49Oh, don't you hear me?
19:51Yes.
19:53Daddy!
19:55Daddy!
19:56Gwen!
19:57I'm all right.
19:58Gwen, give them space.
20:00I'll go.
20:01I have to go with him.
20:02You have to let them help him now.
20:05Yes, I'm right.
20:05I'm so glad you're here, Miss Groening.
20:07Daryl, you've done wonderfully.
20:08Don't be worried, sir, we're getting there.
20:13I'll go speak with them.
20:15It's Gwen that needs you now.
20:19He's awake.
20:20He's talking to me.
20:21That's a really good sign.
20:22All right, sir.
20:22Did he tell you that we fought?
20:24There we are.
20:25He asked me to give you this.
20:32Far away.
20:37They'll call as soon as he reaches the hospital.
20:40We're lucky there is an ambulance so near.
20:41Miss Groening, could you possibly call my mother and tell her?
20:52I don't think I can face it.
20:54Certainly.
20:55Daryl, could you stay with her?
20:57Of course.
20:58As soon as there's any news, I'll come find you.
21:01I don't think I can face it.
21:31Gwen?
21:34Gwen!
21:42Josephine?
21:43Miss Groening?
21:44What are you still doing here?
21:48I'm sorry.
21:50What are you going to do?
21:52I'm afraid that is grown-up business
21:54and for me and my solicitor to handle from here.
21:58Now, you must have packing to finish.
22:01Up to the dorm.
22:03Last day of school tomorrow.
22:05Off you go.
22:06Yes, Mr. Spires.
22:26Can we meet this afternoon?
22:30Well, if it's authentic,
22:35I will have a moral duty to return Mallory Towers to its rightful owner,
22:42Lily Vernon.
22:44Go on, if it would help to talk about it.
22:54Nothing's going to help to help.
22:56He's...
22:57I don't think he meant to upset you.
23:00He asked me to tell you he's sorry about finishing school.
23:02He's sorry.
23:03His letter...
23:08His letter...
23:10Explains everything.
23:13He's been very ill.
23:17His heart.
23:18It's why he couldn't keep up the business and he said no to Switzerland.
23:23You couldn't have known.
23:25I could.
23:28I'd have just...
23:30listened.
23:32He tried to tell me and...
23:35Instead, we fought.
23:37When he was already ill.
23:38I caused this.
23:43You can't think that.
23:44Daryl, you don't know what I said to him.
23:48I told him...
23:50That I never wanted to see him again.
23:54He knows you didn't mean it.
23:56Truly, he does.
23:58I knew that he didn't want to sign the application.
24:02I did it anyway.
24:06He must hate me.
24:07And he's your father.
24:10He loves you.
24:18I've said awful things.
24:24Daryl, what if he dies?
24:28And I never get the chance to take it back?
24:34Slightly, Rose.
24:37Oh, Josephine!
24:52So, did it all go to plan?
24:56Oh, you wonderful little girl.
24:59I'll be indebted to you forever.
25:02Oh!
25:04Woo!
25:06Oh, look at you.
25:08I'm going to spoil you rotten.
25:19Screening's coming.
25:19Here's good news.
25:26Your father's recovering.
25:28Oh, Gwen, that's wonderful.
25:29He's not out of the woods yet.
25:31But he's asking for you.
25:33Would you like to go?
25:35Yes, of course.
25:36I'll drive you.
25:38Daryl, can you help Gwendolyn get an overnight case together?
25:41Right away.
25:41What do I say?
25:49Just tell him you love him.
25:52That's all he needs to know.
25:53That's all he needs to know.
25:53What
26:16Yeah, I'm gonna throw you off.
26:18Gwendolyn, it's time.
