Original subtitles

I'm even top scorer in my team. Guess how many I've scored.

Guess. Like, 100 goals?

Be realistic, Beaker. Six.

It's still loads, though. Check these stats.

It's a big day for Tyrone.

A trial at Sean Godfrey Summer Camp

to get into a world-famous football academy.

He's been training for weeks.

And you're not nervous at all? A bit.

I told you, the UK Lions Football Academy is the best in the country.

I can't believe it's residential.

You stay there. It's like Hogwarts for footballers.

What are the spells? Expecto Score-a-goal-o?

If I get in, it could mean me going pro.

I'll be too old to apply next year. It's my only chance.

Failure is not an option.

Is your mum coming? Yeah, right.

Well, want some support? I can do a pretty good Brazilian wave.

Uh, it's obviously not your thing.

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

No, you're going to be awesome.

I remember Tyrone's mum from when we used to live on the Duke Estate.

He hardly talks about her, but she's the worst.

What sort of mum misses the biggest day of her kid's life?

PHONE RINGS

Hey.

Hey. So, what you up to?

Contemplating the futility of existence.

Also, TikTok.

You want to head into town? There's this new bakery,

and they're handing out sweet dinky little donuts all weekend.

Tempting, but I can't.

Mum's left me looking after the kids.

How about you come round here?

I'll be there! Well, bye.

Ajay?

Jordan's coming.

Any chance you could self-isolate in your room?

It'll be like I'm not even here.

Invisible Man-style.

Who said that? Not me.

I'm invisible.

Tyrone!

Look, Baby Steve, it's your cousin Tyrone.

How are you feeling? Excited?

Slash, terrified!

Stop! He'll be having you do your trademark Tyrone shuffle next,

you'll miss your trial!

I just love making him smile.

So, what do you think of the new bibs?

Bog Off? I know it's the company's business name and all, but...

Ethical loo roll. It's inspirational.

"Because poo doesn't have to be a dirty business."

Sean's really cut up about missing your trial.

Yeah, he spent the whole day yesterday apologising.

He's had this fitness conference booked for months,

but he really hates not being here for you,

especially after all your hard work and training,

and helping with baby Steve.

I just want to make Sean proud. He already is!

He's never seen anyone improve so much so fast.

WHISTLE BLOWS OK, gather round, let's get started.

Right, go smash it.

Here you go. Thanks.

Can he get out of this?

Not unless he's got a degree in structural engineering

and can dig a tunnel.

Anybody want some magic?

Ajay, hello? Invisible Man, remember?

You look bored. How about... No magic.

If I don't practise,

I'll never get my stage two Junior Magician's Club badge.

There's a Magician's Club? Totally!

Do you know the first rule of the Junior Magician's Club?

Um, not to tell anyone?

No, they're desperate for us to talk about it,

to spread the word how great magic is.

First rule is never do magic with a wonky wand.

You know you're not allowed to do magic indoors

without Mum's supervision. Not after last time.

I won't! I learned my lesson.

What did you think would happen

when you pulled out a bird from inside your sleeve indoors?

BIRD FLAPS

Get down here, get down!

I've almost got him!

BIRD PLOPS

Oh, no! There's so much poop!

You've got to tell me where you got that bird from.

Can't say. The Magician's Code is very strict.

Anyway, Mum banned messy magic.

I won't be messy.

If you're worried about your mum punishing you, it's whatever.

No, she never does.

She just says she's disappointed in me and gives me the look.

Just somehow feels worse.

If that's all you're worried about, then let's just do it.

It'll be a laugh.

Do it! Do it!

BOTH: Do it! Do it! Do it!

OK! But no live birds,

custard pies, or sawing anything in half.

Woo-hoo!

You can't seriously be into this?

No, I actually think it's kind of cool!

And a magician needs an assistant or two, so...

Me? No.

I helped with his act once. Spent ages trapped in a magic cabinet.

Never again.

But if you want to, you're going to need a costume.

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Hi! How's the trial going? Er, really well.

Brilliant! Cos turn around.

CHEERING

Brazilian wave!

Tyrone's mum might be OK with him facing this alone, but not me,

and seeing the look on his face now,

I knew I'd made the right choice.

So, what kind of magic assistant do you want to be?

Most are pretty cringe.

Not this assistant.

This assistant doesn't care what anyone else thinks.

Oh, er, not those.

I didn't even though they were still in there.

They've still got tags on. Yeah, I, er, ordered them online.

Couldn't be bothered sending them back, so...

Not really your usual stuff, though.

I thought I'd try a new look.

Just was not me.

But...this could be!

This would look good on you!

You think so? Yeah.

Really? Yeah.

OK, let's look for some more.

What do you think of this?

Yes, go, shoot!

Yes, Tyrone, come on!

That's it, Tyrone! Go, go, go!

Oh, come on! I think he's going to score!

Mum?

WHISTLE BLOWS

Come on, let me stay on, coach.

Sorry, lad, everyone has to have a go.

COACH: Reset!

Welcome to a magic display like no other.

And here to help me, my assistant.

Ahem! Amazing splendiferous assistant?

Yeah, what she said.

Jordan Jay Juniper...

All the Js. That does look good!

Prepare to be dazzled and amazed!

And if not, tough -

no refunds!

Anyway...

See this ordinary pen?

Ta-da!

Asif.

Chloe.

Tyrone.

Ethan.

I hoped it wouldn't be Tyrone. Come on, Jess.

Thanks. Ruined it, like always. Tyrone, I'm...

Don't! You never believed in me.

This was my escape, and now I'm stuck with you!

Well, aren't you going to go after him?

Why were you late? Your boyfriend?

No, I'm not seeing anyone.

What happened to whats-his-name?

You know, Prince Charming, who sold Tyrone's football boots?

I dumped him months ago, he was no good.

Funny, Tyrone never mentioned it.

So why weren't you here?

Tyrone needed you here, where were you?

PIANO PLAYS, JORDAN HUMS

Card trick, anyone?

Pick a card, any card.

No?

Magic rope?

The amazing Wall of Death?

No-one?

OK.

My final trick - and for this trick, I'll need a phone.

Here's one.

Don't you dare, Ajay. Give it back!

Damage it, I damage you.

And now watch as I place it into the bag of wonders,

say the magic words - Alakazam,

Alakazu, Alaka-I hope this works.

GLASS SMASHES

Ajay!

It's OK, I can fix this.

Abracadabra, and...

Ta-da! Now that's magic!

What have I told you? Don't ever touch my stuff!

Check it, there's not a scratch! That's not the point!

Watch.

I bet I know how it's done.

You just have to put something inside the bag,

then you just bang, bang, bang.

GLASS SMASHES

Oh, look...

What? Is it worth a lot of money or something?

It's...

..our dad's old watch.

Mum trusted me to look after it.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Asha. I'm sorry, Ajay, I...

I didn't know.

I'm so, so sorry.

He's been in there a long time.

You know what boys are like.

Have to make sure every hair's in the right place.

Yeah, all right, I've got no idea what boys are like, to be honest.

I'll go check on him.

Jess, that's the boys' changing room.

I'll be discreet.

Tyrone, it's me.

I'm looking away.

I'm sure he's fine.

Yeah, he's tougher than he looks. I know.

He's not in there!

ALL: Tyrone! Where are you?

He's not there.

Tyrone!

Guys, you need to see this.

Wow. Did Tyrone do this?

Sean Godfrey watch...

I'll give him another call. We'll find him, don't worry.

It's just not like him.

His dreams have been shattered. He's just lashing out.

He probably feels like me and Sean have let him down.

Set him up to fail.

Sean's his idol. He needed someone to look up to.

It's me he's angry with.

Well, maybe if you'd gone to him... Would that have helped?

He already banned me from coming. Did he?

I couldn't miss his big day.

PHONE RINGS OUT

I messed up.

PHONE RINGS AGAIN

I didn't put him first, I brought awful men into his life.

You kicked Prince Charming to the kerb, at least that's something.

He wouldn't leave.

I changed the locks.

I had to get the police involved.

It's over now.

PHONE RINGS OUT

That's a big step, yeah? It's not easy.

It's brave.

It's too late.

No, it's not. It's never too late.

He's got to be here somewhere. We'll split up.

I'll take the town. I'll check the Dumping Ground.

Jess, why don't you search on the beach?

And, Becca, look at the promenade, yeah?

I'm so sorry.

It was an accident.

It's OK, you didn't know.

Remember, Ajay?

Dad timing us brushing our teeth every night

to make sure we did it for long enough?

But then he'd count down wrong, so we'd do it for even longer.

Or that time he was ten minutes late dropping us to school every morning,

so Mum set his watch ten minutes earlier, secretly.

It made him 15 minutes late!

I mean, how?

Even Mum didn't understand.

Oh, no! Mum's home!

Jordan, you should go. I'll stay.

I'll explain. Please.

Oh, hello, Jordan.

Has Ajay been doing magic? Asha, you know he's banned indoors.

I don't see any poop, and the sofa's still in one piece,

so I guess that's OK.

What's that?

What's what? Behind your back?

I did it. It was an accident.

She didn't know. She's really sorry.

Mum?

It's fine. I'm fine.

Seriously, it was me.

Shout at me. I deserve it.

You'll feel better.

PHONE RINGS

Hi, Mum. He's not on the beach or the beach hut.

Yeah, he's not here either.

Justine couldn't find him in town and now Steve's all worked up.

STEVE CRIES He's still not answering his phone.

Just come back. We'll figure it out.

PHONE RINGS NEARBY

I knew you'd be the one to find me, Beaker.

I saw the corridor.

We were all really worried.

What's there to talk about? I failed.

My dream's over. The end.

Tyrone, you made it further than most kids. That's something.

It's nothing! To get this close and then blow it? It's worse.

So what made you come here?

Imagining Steve, Christmas, that night,

we were all so happy. It all feels different now.

Hey, nothing's changed.

You still have us.

No, you have each other -

one huge Beaker-Rajani-Martin super family.

I'm just a sub, stuck on the bench,

while the rest of the team wins the cup.

I'm not in the centre of anyone's life.

What about your mum?

Now you're really trying to wind me up.

Why didn't you tell us she dumped her boyfriend?

What's the difference? She'll only take him back,

or find someone worse. You know what she's like.

No, I don't think I do any more.

She... She seems like she's trying.

Well, I know someone who needs you.

Someone who looks up to more than anyone else in this world,

and he needs you right now.

STEVE CRIES

SHOP BELL RINGS

Tyrone! You're OK!

Where have you been? We've been looking for you.

Is Steve OK?

All that excitement, I don't think he's going to sleep again!

Here, I know what he likes.

Watch this. He's going to work his magic.

The famous Tyrone shuffle.

And we shuffle, and we jump, and we spin. And we do it again.

We shuffle, we jump, we spin.

And Steve is number one!

ALL LAUGH

Thank you.

I just like making him smile.

See? He doesn't think you're a failure.

Shame he's not one of the scouts.

Remember how that felt as kids?

No matter how hard you tried,

everything would just go pear-shaped.

And there's no way you could get Sean to, you know,

put in a good word for him?

You mean cheat? Tracy Beaker!

Since when does Justine Littlewood care about the rules?

I'm an upstanding business woman.

Come on, you flog loo roll!

Ethical loo roll, thank you very much,

because ethics matter.

So does fairness, natural justice, karma -

whatever you want to call it -

it is why Sean invested in your company.

No, he thinks I can make a success of it,

he believes in me.

Exactly. Just like we believe in Tyrone.

If anyone deserves a helping hand, it's him.

You know I'm right.

Is she always like this?

Since Dad died, pretty much.

See, when Tracy gets the hump, everyone knows about it, but...

..at least she lets it all out and clears the air,

and I know it's over.

But this, I mean...

Yeah.

I wish that...

You wish what?

I wish I could be like Jordan Jay Juniper.

Not care what anyone else thinks.

Just once.

Let it all out.

Like Mum can't, you know?

Well...

..why don't we?

KNOCK AT DOOR

Jess? Hi. Hiya.

Can I have word with Tyrone, please?

I've text your mum and said you're OK.

Now, listen, about earlier...

Sorry, I'll tidy up the mess. No, not that.

No-one knows more than Sean how hard you've worked,

and you do deserve a second chance,

so I've got him to pull a few strings, call some favours in.

He got you a place at the Academy.

Is this a pity thing?

Do you want it or not? Yeah, of course! I'll take it! Yeah, thanks.

Brilliant, but there's one condition.

You have to talk to Mum. For what? Justine...

You're going to need her permission to go, and she has to sign the form.

Right where Justine said she'd be.

I know you don't want to do this,

but if it means you getting into the Academy...

I'm really glad you're OK. Top of the world.

No views like this where we live, is there?

Just tower blocks and concrete.

I came to tell you Sean's got me a place in the Academy.

Yeah?

Wow, that's really...

Wow.

I need your OK. I have it, right?

Er...

I guess, but... So you... You'll have to stay there, right?

During term time, yeah. So it works out for both of us.

I get my dream and you'll finally be shot of me.

Tyrone, you don't really think...

Maybe you fooled the others, but it's just us - you can drop the act.

Come on, the only reason why you came today

is cos you thought I had a chance.

One day I'll go pro and be minted. That is really not...

Relax. I'll buy you a house, nice things, whatever you want.

All I want is for you to be happy. Stop it! Stop saying that!

I know I've made mistakes.

I've made bad choices.

If I could take them back, I would.

It's just words, Mum.

Look how hard you've worked all these months for your dream.

I'm just so proud of you.

You've inspired me.

If you let me, I will work every day to put you first.

Honestly...I don't know.

I don't know if I could trust you.

If you want to go to the academy, I will back you 100%.

I will miss you every day.

SHOP BELL RINGS

So how did it go? Weird.

She wants to fix things, show me she's changed.

I think I actually believe her for once.

Yeah, I kind of got that feeling, too.

So, the Academy's been in touch.

They're about to send a welcome pack,

forms for your mum to sign...

Justine, er...

..I'm really grateful...

Sounds like a but's coming, right? Yeah, definitely getting that vibe.

Tyrone?

I just don't think I could take it.

Is this something your mum has said?

Do we need to have word with her?

No, honest. She said I should take it, if that's what I want.

But it wouldn't be fair, would it? I wasn't good enough.

I would just be nicking some other kid's place.

So I just don't think it's the right choice for me.

That's actually really grown up of you.

Can't trail behind Sean forever, can I?

There's only one Sean Godfrey. That needs to be me.

Well, I feel like a bit of a mug now, trying to cheat you in.

Thanks, Beaker.

Sorry for judging your mum just then.

She is trying. If I deserve a second chance, she does too.

So, what now?

You ready? Not sure.

What do I do? It's easy.

You just let it all out.

JORDAN YELLS

ASHA YELLS

JORDAN YELLS

ASHA YELLS

So, where are you headed?

Home. Tower blocks and concrete.

Is that OK?

Definitely. Absolutely.

If I've learned anything from football,

it's that the best things take work.

Yeah, I want to work.

For us, I mean.

I want to work my socks off, Tyrone.

Me too. No promises though.

One step at a time. See what happens.

OK.

It's, er, spag bol for tea.

My favourite. I know.

I don't know how things will turn out between Tyrone and his mum,

but sometimes, a thing breaking can lead to good things.

JORDAN AND ASHA YELL

Bus is late.

And sometimes, something you thought was broken forever

turns out not to be.

Maybe nothing is completely broken, if there's time to fix it.
