WAVES CRASH

Keep going!

You're nearly there.

STOPWATCH CLICKS

How did I do?

27 minutes and 35 seconds.

Is that good?

There's always room for improvement.

If you want to beat St Hilda's Lizzie Johnson,

you've got to work hard.

Here, let me show you a stretch.

Go like this.

It'll help you stretch your calf out.

Felicity, come join us for a swim.

Here. Drink this.

I'm afraid she can't.

We're off to climb this big hill next.

Might I remind you the inter-school race is tomorrow?

Sorry. Alicia's right. I need to focus.

You girls go. I'll see you later.

If you're sure.

We'll miss you.

Race you to the pool!

Come on, last one's a soggy sandwich!

GIRLS LAUGH

This is the last thing I need.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Matron Shipley.

Not now, Sally.

Are you going somewhere?

Yorkshire. Really?

Don't look so happy, I'll be back before you know it.

Just a matter of my sister's wedding.

Your sister's getting married! I love weddings.

Oh, seeing family and friends.

And the cake.

And the dress.

All that fuss and money for one day.

It's ridiculous.

Well, even so, she must be really happy to see you.

Well, let's hope so. It's meant to be a surprise.

How exciting!

Mm... Isn't it?

Yes, yes, I'm sure it will be.

Now, if you don't mind, my cover will be here shortly,

so you can annoy her with your demands.

Your cover?

Oh, you didn't think I was going to leave you girls

to your own devices? Huh!

An agency in London has assured me the perfect nurse is on her way.

Seeing as you're here, what do you want?

Oh, Mr Parker would like some plasters, please.

Well, is somebody hurt? Do they need me?

No, it's just for the race in case someone gets blisters.

If anyone's got blisters, I'll need to examine them.

I'm sure they'll be all right.

So, Matron, about those plasters.

Oh, right in there on the dresser.

Thank you. Yes.

Uh, don't touch anything else.

I thought we could go to the race together.

How are you feeling?

Um, nervous.

Well, nerves are good.

Means the adrenaline is pumping, which gives you the edge.

OK, what's wrong?

I've been training for weeks and trying so hard.

I worry Alicia is not happy with me.

Well, it's not about making Alicia happy.

You can only do your best.

What if my best isn't good enough and I don't win?

None of this talk.

I'm not just saying this because you're my sister,

you're a really great runner. Remember that.

FELICITY SIGHS

Right.

Come on.

I know you'll be brilliant. Mm?

PHONE RINGS

Matron?

Hello.

Malory Towers, yes.

I'm sorry, she's busy. Can I take a message?

Oh, right.

Are you sure?

Absolutely certain?

All right, I'll let her know.

Thank you.

Bye.

Oh, wait! Sorry, she's... She's back.

Hello?

Bah! Who gave you permission to use my phone?

It was actually the agency in London, Matron.

Oh. How long will the nurse be?

Uh, well, um... She's fallen ill.

What? Yes, I know, but they're looking for a replacement

and they'll let you know.

Oh, I can't go now.

Matron, you have to. It's your sister's wedding.

It doesn't matter.

Um... Well, I better unpack and, yeah, get back to work.

But, Matron, your sister is getting married.

Who's that?

Um, Lizzie Johnson from St Hilda's.

She's the one to beat.

Felicity? Felicity!

Has anyone seen Felicity?

Don't tell me, you want her to run a few laps BEFORE the race.

Hush it, June.

Oh, where have you been?

I was talking to Darrell.

Can all the runners head to the start line, please?

Remember what we discussed about the hill?

The halfway point. Good.

You don't want to burn all your energy up before we get there.

Lizzie will expect everyone to be exhausted.

And I'll convince her I'm too tired to overtake,

but the minute she relaxes, I'll sprint past, catch her off guard.

Exactly, and I'll be there waiting for you to take the lead,

so make sure you do.

Alicia, please. You really are taking the fun out of it.

Felicity Rivers?

I have to go. Good luck.

I can't wait to see the look on everyone's faces when she wins.

Well, winning isn't everything.

She beat Lizzie's record from last year - 23 seconds.

She's going to ace it.

Really? Felicity didn't mention that to me.

I didn't want her getting overconfident.

What, you didn't tell her? Well, she needs to know.

The encouragement will really help. Darrell!

Stop interfering. I'm her trainer, I know what's best.

Felicity Rivers? I'm Lizzie.

Nice to meet you.

Good luck. And you. Not that you need it.

THEY LAUGH

Felicity, stop giggling and concentrate.

Who is that? Alicia Jones, my trainer.

Right, girls?

On your marks.

Get set.

Go!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Don't let me down! Whoa!

Remember everything I've taught you!

Make yourself useful and look at the number

for a local telegraph company.

I need to tell my family I'm not coming.

They'll be so disappointed.

I can't leave you girls.

Not with a race and everything else.

Hey, give those to me.

Who are these for? My nieces and nephews.

But marmalade, it's no good for them.

All that sugar.

Well, how many do you have?

15.

I'm the eldest of seven girls.

Seven!

Christmas must be expensive.

We made do.

Do you have any photographs of everyone?

I'd love to see them.

No, no, we don't all take photographs of each other

like you all do.

We're not made of money.

Oh, you must have something.

MATRON SIGHS

I knew. I knew that working in a school would be a trial.

If I show you, will you leave me alone?

No, wait there. Thank you.

FELICITY PANTS

I'm so tired.

Are you all right, Felicity?

What?

You tricked me!

Get back here!

Oh, just you wait!

Felicity!

You're not going to beat me!

MATRON SIGHS

Surely your entire family can't fit in that.

Aren't you the smart one?

MATRON SIGHS

Aww.

Is that a niece or a nephew?

That's my baby sister.

Well...

she's not a baby any more.

The one that's getting married? Mm.

It's the only one I have, so I must keep this somewhere safe.

You must miss your family, especially your parents.

Well, my mother died when the youngest was born.

I had to help raise my sisters.

My father's not the sentimental type.

I'm sure he'd be happy to see you.

Mm, I don't know about that.

Matron, you must go.

We should speak to Miss Grayling. She'll think of something.

No, no!

You're not to bother her.

The wedding can go ahead without me.

Uh, excuse me!

What are you doing?

Well, the agency said that they would call back in a few hours.

I'll wait in the San until they do. No! What if they don't?

Well, then we'll call someone else.

They can't be the only agency in London.

No! You can't!

You can't just call someone willy-nilly.

Anyone would think you're trying to get rid of me.

LIZZIE PANTS

Yes, Felicity! Keep going!

Liz is right behind you!

Ow! Oh, I've got a stitch.

You don't need to fake it. You're in the lead.

I'm not faking. It really hurts.

Don't slow down. Just run it out.

She's catching up!

Go! Do it for me!

But it hurts, Alicia.

You're going to lose.

Come on! I can't.

You beat Lizzy's time last run, you can do it. I did?

Why didn't you tell me?

It doesn't matter. Now's your chance.

Don't let it slip through your fingers.

I didn't train you for you to lose!

This isn't about you.

Where are you going? The finish line is that way!

Felicity!

BELL RINGS

Right...

Oh, you're like a bad smell.

What is it now?

I was just thinking about surprising my sister and how excited she'd be.

What she doesn't know won't hurt her.

Well, don't you want to go?

Stop being such a nosy parker.

Shouldn't you be at the race?

Well, you see, Matron, I have a sister called Daphne

and if I were to get married and she wasn't there

I would be so upset.

And, you know, you've raised your sister like a daughter.

Imagine if my mother weren't at my wedding.

It's too late now.

And the agency still haven't called.

Well, they will and we can ask matron from West Tower to help.

Not this again.

Your nieces and nephews are going to want their marmalade, won't they?

You're a persistent one, aren't you?

Does that mean you're going to go?

Oh...

Seems I have no choice.

All right, I'll help you pack.

Are we packing these? Yes, that goes there.

The handbag doesn't go in the suitcase. Sorry.

There, there!

Not long to go now.

Oh, they're coming!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Elizabeth.

Don't worry, top five is still an outstanding achievement.

But where's Felicity?

She stopped running and walked off.

What?

I think she had a stitch, but that Alicia...

I don't know what she said to Felicity,

but she really upset her.

Upset her?

Right, I'll go find her.

You go back to the school, see if she's there.

Ron, I'll give it back.

Don't worry.

Darrell, wait! I'll handle this.

Felicity?

Felicity!

Oh, steady on!

Ow! Argh!

DARRELL PANTS

Felicity!

Felicity?

Felicity?

Oh, there you are.

Lucy told us about Alicia.

Is she angry with me?

She even beat her own record. She's quick.

Felicity? Felicity!

I can't believe you abandoned the race.

Well, that answers my question.

You were winning!

Not now, Alicia.

Let's get you some food. You must be famished.

Wait, where's Darrell?

Darrell?

Uh, she went looking for you, but she should have been back by now.

First you, now Daryl.

Oh, this is all my fault. I'd better go find her.

No, wait here for when she comes back.

I'll go.

I'll come with you.

DARRELL GROANS AND CRIES

Darrell!

Darrell!

Hello! Ron, Ron, I'm over here!

Darrell, where are you?

By the stream.

Oh, Alicia, look!

Darrell, what happened?

It's my ankle. I tried to walk on it, but I didn't get far.

Don't move, don't move, don't move!

Don't worry about me. I still haven't found Felicity.

She's all right. She's back at school.

This is all her fault.

But it's not. Darrell, I'm so sorry.

If only I'd listened this wouldn't have happened.

I pushed Felicity too far.

We can tell her later.

Let's get you up. OK.

Argh! Oh, careful, careful.

Come on. Ow! Ow!

One step at a time. Slow, slow, slow.

This way.

I can't.

This is a bad idea.

The agency hasn't called yet.

They will do. You need to make that train.

Oh, fine.

Now, my family, they don't have a telephone,

but you know where to send a telegram if needs be.

Yes, I will.

And the list of duties are on my desk.

Be sure to give them to the nurse, whenever she will arrive.

You already told me that.

And remember, my keys are in my office drawer.

Matron, do you trust me?

I don't trust anyone.

I promise you, everything will be fine.

MATRON SIGHS

Come on.

That's it.

Oh!

CAR HORN TOOTS

Is that my replacement? I'll deal with her.

If you don't go now, you're going to miss your train.

But... Come on.

I just want to go...

Sorry, I can't hear you.

No! Does this come down?

Bye, Matron!

MATRON SHOUTS INDISTINGUISHABLY

Bye!

CAR HORN TOOTS

Darrell?

Oh, Darrell, what happened?

I came off of Ron's bicycle.

Oh, hello. Could you direct me to the sanitorium?

Thank goodness you're here.

Excuse me?

Darrell's in need of a nurse right now.

How did you know that..?

Matron's been waiting for you all day.

I'm Sally Hope.

Oh, uh, Jane.

I'll take this. Um, where is your matron?

Oh, she just left. She had to catch a train. Oh.

How was your journey from London?

Um...

Here, let me.

Here, let's get some ice on that ankle.

It's all right.

So, how did this happen?

DARRELL SNIFFLES

That's OK.

Um, OK.

Let's go down slowly.

Nurse Jane, are you all right?

Yes. Sorry. Uh...

Right, uh...

Darrell!

Darrell, I'm so sorry.

Don't worry. I'm...

Alicia regrets how she handled the training.

It's not your fault. She just apologised.

I shouldn't have run off like that.

No, come on. There's no need to be upset.

It looks worse than it is.

We don't know that for certain.

No, I'll be all right.

Please let me go back to my room.

No, you might have torn a tendon. You need to rest it for now.

Come on.

How are you doing, Darrell?

Mr Parker, this is Nurse Jane, Matron's replacement.

Oh, ah... Welcome to Malory Towers.

Where are you joining us from? Uh... London.

Both of you gave us quite a scare today.

Not a Rivers's trait I admire.

BOTH: Sorry. Anyway, rest up.

I'm sure you're in capable hands.

Nurse Jane, I'll just put that in there for you.

Thank you. Right, let's get this off.

LAUGHTER AND CHATTER

JANE SIGHS

JANE GROANS

Nurse Jane?

Yes.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping Darrell.

Well, it's no bother.

It's my job, after all.

If only you'd seen Matron Shipley before she had left,

she was so worried about leaving us alone that she almost

missed her sister's wedding,

but, thankfully, you turned up and saved the day.

Well, I'm glad to have helped.

Well, I'll let you settle in.

I'll see you later, Darrell.

Right.

I'll call Father and ask him to send some treats.

Make you feel better.

And these treats, will I have to share them with you?

Maybe.

Ah, come on now, girls. Darrell needs to rest.

Oh, please may we stay a little longer and have some cocoa?

Cocoa?

Yes, Matron sometimes lets us have cocoa before bed

and I think Darrell and Felicity deserve a treat

after the day they've had.

Very well. Help yourself.

Thank you.

PHONE RINGS

Hello.

Malory Towers, the sanitorium.

Yes?

Sending someone?

Sorry?

It's the agency.

They're saying they're sending someone, but you're already here.

Oh, there must be some confusion.

Um, they're not the most efficient.

Uh, leave it with me and you prepare the cocoa.

And a cup for me too, please.

Good evening.

Yes, apologies for the mix-up,

but, uh, we won't be needing a nurse any more.

Thank you. Goodnight.
