Original subtitles

It's such a shame you can't come.

Yes, I'm sorry too.

You shouldn't be going either.

Nobody made you own up.

There's no point us all missing out.

Come on, Darrell.

How could I have considered her a friend?

It's a French Franc, round, silver...

I had it here earlier. I...

I'll retrace my steps.

Oh, it's here!

Everyone!

Before we go, listen up.

My new pen and Gwen's mother's brooch are both still missing

and Mary-Lou's lucky coin has vamoosed too.

Irene, how about your hair clip?

Still no luck, and Georgina's compact never turned up either.

I think we might have a thief.

No Malory Towers girl would ever steal.

Well, I'm going to find them out.

Inspector Johns!

No, please don't ruin the trip.

It's going to be ever so jolly.

And ices! You are still paying, aren't you, Gwen?

Oh yes, Raspberry ripple for me!

The bus is here!

Oh, hat!

Buck up, Gwen. You can't miss the bus.

We need you for ice creams!

Won't be a tick. I've just...

Wait up! I'm going to check the bathroom for my coin.

Wait... they haven't gone yet, have they?

I thought you were on the bus!

Oh, I was so looking forward to that trip.

So was I!

I've been looking everywhere for you.

And that coin.

Oh, that is kind.

Well, we'll have to tell Miss Grayling. Come on, now.

Come on, Mary-Lou.

Gwendoline, Mary-Lou? Why aren't you on the trip?

You're not in trouble as well, are you?

That was my fault.

Gwen was helping me look for something

and they left without us.

Well, really, Mary-Lou, surely you could have waited

til you were back to continue your search?

(French) What is it? Four girls?

Gwen and Mary-Lou missed the bus.

Would you find them an activity?

(French) Yes, of course. Go and wait for me by the classrooms.

Girls, on your way, pick up a packed lunch from Cook for later.

Miss Grayling? Have you found a new investor?

What? A new investor?

Mam'zelle didn't tell you?

Of course, I didn't! Such nonsense...

There's a china clay seam under the school.

Mr Thomas wants to knock down Malory Towers and build a mine.

Where did you hear this?

Gwen heard him talking to Georgina.

- These girls and their stories. - It's not just a story!

Darrell, please don't answer back.

You must leave this to me now.

Miss Grayling, please, you have to listen to me, I...

Darrell...

It is just the girls telling tall tales again.

Well, let's hope you're right.

Cook made Spam sandwiches with pickle!

It's such a shame I won't be able to buy ices for everyone now.

Mam'zelle? Miss Grayling will look into it, won't she?

- This is really serious. - This is really serious.

Silence, s'il vous plaît!

Bon. Maintenant, Darrell et Sally. Your punishment.

You will make this floor worthy of our feet.

If you need one, there is a broom in my cupboard.

Here is the key. Do not lose it.

Oh, dear. Hard work.

(French) Too bad.

Très bien, Gwendoline.

(French) I have a good idea. You two can be my French assistantes.

French? But why?

It wasn't my fault I missed the bus.

Oh, would you rather clean the floor?

Absolutely not.

Bien.

You will help prepare lessons for the first form.

(French) Let's go. Allez!

Allez, allez, Gwen!

Actually, I would like to see you.

Perfect. I'll be there at two.

That was our solicitor.

I'm afraid Darrell was right about Mr Thomas.

He's made a planning application.

He... he will destroy Malory Towers?

It looks that way, yes.

I thought it... it was just the girls tittle-tattling.

I don't think Darrell is the tittle-tattle type.

You're right. I... I'm sorry.

I need you to be discreet, Mam'zelle.

But unless I can find an alternative investor

the school will have to close anyway.

I had no idea.

Please try not to worry, Mam'zelle.

Malory Towers will not go without a fight.

Le chien, do you see?

They can match the words to the pictures.

- Le chien? - That's a dog.

You know that. The first years will love it.

I have got some sharper scissors in the dorm.

- I'll just go and fetch them. - I'll come too.

I can have a look for my coin as well.

No, it's okay. You keep going. I'll be straight back.

Bonjour, le chien!

"Bonjour!"

Darrell Rivers, attention!

I will never listen to a word you say...

but (French) you're very... boring!

I am so not!

Prove it!

Fine!

Come on!

No Head of Form today.

Just you and me. Let's make this fun!

Gwen!

I thought you were going to be quick?

Mam'zelle came back. She was cross that you weren't there.

I was looking for your lucky coin.

It's odd that it disappeared.

Alicia thinks someone might be taking things.

How rotten is that?

Come on. It must be here somewhere.

You go. I've got to tidy my bed.

I don't want to get an order mark.

I'll wait.

Mam'zelle will be cross if she sees me without you again.

No, looking for your lucky coin is far more important.

I'll sort the bed out later. Come on.

I think I had it in the classroom.

Look, Sally, the height marks.

Must've been Miss Grayling's brothers and sisters?

Yes. From when they lived here.

"Lizzie"?

That must be Miss Grayling.

Lizzie's short for Elizabeth.

And "Min" must be the youngest.

"Laurie, Rupert, Lizzie and Min."

They must have had a hoot growing up here.

You know, all this space.

Come on. Let's not waste time.

What happened to fun?

Don't be a goose.

Let's go again!

Ready?

- Three, two, one... - Three, two...

Girls! Oh my.

Miss Grayling, I'm so sorry!

We used to do that when I was little.

We got into terrible trouble once breaking one of mother's vases.

Do you remember these?

We've found an heirloom of sorts.

I'd forgotten they were here.

Father used to measure us.

Laurie always cheated.

He'd stand on his tiptoes.

Min used to get so cross with him.

Poor little Min.

Measles took her.

She was only six.

That's so sad. I'm sorry.

I often think of her.

You must have so many memories.

Happy ones mostly.

You can't let Mr Thomas build a mine.

This is your home. You can't lose it.

If there is a way, Darrell, believe me, I will find it.

Now...

Aren't you two supposed to be cleaning?

It will be all right.

It has to be.

- Come on, do you want to go clean? - Yes.

Darrell?

You keep looking here.

I'll run back to the dorm quickly and tidy my bed.

No, I told you Gwen, Mam'zelle said to stick together.

- She was cross before. - Right.

What about in there? Maybe your coin rolled in.

I don't see how.

We have to be very thorough.

No, no sign.

How about behind the door?

Gwen?

I think the door's locked.

Oh gosh, sorry...

Don't worry. Sally and Darrell have the key.

You sit tight, I'll be back in a jiffy.

Gwen?

Gwen!

Hello?

I wish we could do this every day.

Imagine Matron's face!

What are you doing?

Making hard work fun!

Where's that key?

You won't believe it, but Mary-Lou's locked herself

in Mam'zelle's cupboard.

Poor Mary-Lou. She must be so scared.

Here!

Darrell Rivers!

Now, look what you've done! It's fallen into the grate!

Why would you throw it, Darrell?

We're not going to be able to get it back now.

Oh, dear.

I'm going to check on Mary-Lou. Just find that key!

Sing a song of six-pence A pocket full of rye

Four and twenty blackbirds Baked in a pie

When the pie was opened The birds began...

Is anyone there?

Yes, me... Bit of a mishap.

The key fell down a crack in the floor.

They're getting it out now.

If I hadn't lost my lucky coin, this wouldn't have happened.

It was my grandfather's.

I wish I could show it to you.

He was in the trenches in the Great War

and well, that coin, it literally saved him.

How did it do that?

A bullet hit him

but the coin was in his pocket and it slowed it down.

He said it would keep me safe too.

Are you crying?

How am I going to tell my grandmother?

She'll be so upset.

Do try and buck up.

It's okay, I'm going to get you out soon.

I promise!

The King was in his counting house Counting out his money

The Queen was in the parlour Eating bread and honey...

Mam'zelle will explode when she finds out we've lost the key.

Sorry, no joy yet.

Well, please hurry.

Mary-Lou's so upset. I've tried to calm her down.

Well, shall we tell someone?

No... no, I... I've got it...

- Gently does it. - I thought I'd got it three times.

Come on...

Finally!

What's that?

- Got it Mary-Lou! - Sally, it's a... it's a ring!

Gosh. It's real.

Could it be... Lady Jane Malory's?

I'm here! I have the key!

I thought I'd be stuck in there forever.

Here. I haven't used it.

Look what I found!

Gwen! Where was it?

It was on the floor. Outside.

Thank you. Thank you so much!

You're my best friend!

Thank you!

Oh, thank you so much.

Come in.

Miss Grayling, you won't believe what we've found!

- Under the grate. - Under the grate?

It's a long story.

It's old, we think it might be part of the treasure.

Goodness.

I do recall mention of a ring just like this.

There's an inventory.

Lady Jane wrote it in her diary.

Yes, here it is.

"A ruby ring in white gold."

This is a wonderful discovery, girls!

Is there more? What if all her treasure

- is buried beneath the floor? - No, wait, there's a footnote.

You see...

The ring was given to Annie Yates, house maid.

If Annie dropped it, the rest of the treasure won't be there.

It's still an exciting find.

Is it precious?

I mean "worth a lot of money" precious?

Well, sadly, one ring won't be enough to save the school.

We'd need all of the treasure for that.

I have an appointment in town.

Would you put this back for me

then make sure to close the door on your way out?

Darrell? This picture...

It reminds you of the poem?

The one Mr Parker put in his play?

Oh, the poem. That should be in the diary too.

Isn't there something about a cross?

Oh, found it!

"I love you, my dearest... with all of my heart.

I Bury our future, too soon we must part.

My Wealth I'll abandon, my father I'll Cross.

It's you that I win, so I count it no loss."

Darrell, look.

The capital letters in the middle of sentences.

"Bury", "Wealth", "Cross".

What if it's a clever clue?

What if Lady Jane buried her wealth next to a cross.

I don't remember seeing a cross on the cliffs.

It... it's got to be there. Come on!

Where's the fire?

No fire, but there might be treasure!

Come with us.

We might need your help!

You are a brick to have found this.

Can you see where the bullet went through?

Saved his life!

It's awful losing things.

No wonder Irene was so wound up.

That hair clip was her aunt's.

And poor Georgina.

The compact was from her godmother.

If Alicia's right, someone's taken them

who would do that?

What do you think would happen? If they...

If they caught someone?

They'd be expelled. They'd have to be.

It's such an awful thing to do.

I think I might be sick.

Oh, dear. Should I... should I fetch someone?

No, I'll just go and lie down. Mam'zelle won't mind if this is done.

These really are super, Mary-Lou.

I should come with you. I mean, if you feel sick...

You finish up.

It must be farther along.

- What are we looking for? - The stone cross.

We found a drawing by Lady Jane

and we think she buried her treasure next to it.

My grandad has a photo of him and his brother by a stone cross.

They used to walk to it every Sunday.

- Where is it? - It was right here.

After the Great War there was a huge storm.

Half the cliff collapsed.

I think it was lost then.

I really thought we might find it.

So did I.

The compact, that's Georgina's.

Pen, Alicia.

You are going back home to Irene.

Poor Gwen.

She was working so hard, and I didn't know that she was sick.

(French) We better check on her before Matron comes back.

Gwendoline?

Mary-Lou told me you were sick?

The walk here cleared my mind.

Are you okay, Mam'zelle?

Of course.

C'est... c'est merveilleux.

You shall each have a merit mark.

Now, that floor.

(French) Let's go. Let's go find Darrell and Sally.

Gwen?

C'est incroyable! Such a shine.

How did you manage it?

Oh, it's... it's hard to explain.

Well, it is incredible!

An effort mark for you both.

- They're back! - Let's go!

What are they laughing at?

- The castle sounds fun! - It really was.

A bit spooky though.

I got locked in a cupboard, that was really spooky!

Gwen, what happened? I can't believe you missed the bus.

I can't believe we didn't get our ices.

That was my fault. Gwen only missed the bus because of me.

Darrell, I have a present for you.

Thank you so much. I love it.

Toffees.

It's... it's lovely

but you can't buy my friendship, Alicia.

Everyone...

I know I'm not exactly "flavour of the month"

but I have some big news.

And you all need to hear it.

Can't we do this later? I'm starving.

Go if you want, but this is huge.

Gwen?

It's about the things that have gone missing.

What... what would I know about that?

If people are being careless, it's nothing to do with me.

Except they're not careless.

Someone's stealing. I have proof.

What's it got to do with Gwen?

I'm sorry to be the one to bring this out into the open.

We stopped at the village.

Now, remember that brooch your mother "lost"?

It's in the jeweller's window.

Well, how did it get there?

Don't you see?

Someone stole it and then brought it to the jeweller's to sell.

Oh, Gwen...

Poor you. That's dreadful.

Isn't it just?

So there really is a thief.

Don't worry, Gwen.

I won't rest til we've caught them.

Come on, let's eat.

Gosh, that's bad isn't it?

Tell me all about it!

I'm really sorry, Gwen.
