All language subtitles for Malory Towers s05e19 The Last Letter.eng

Let's try it again. Smile and
you won't be flat, all right?

I'll count you in.

Five, six, seven, eight.

The eggs and the ham
and the strawberry jam

And the rollicking bun
and the gay Sally Lunn...

Come on, Jo.

The eggs and the ham
and the strawberry jam

And the rollicking bun
and the gay Sally Lunn...

Please don't! I really don't want
to make a big fuss.

But you can't let this sort of mean
behaviour go unchallenged.

The rollicking bun and the gay
Sally Lunn...

Thank you. That's enough now, Irene.

Silence, please.

PIANO FALLS SILENT

Gather around.

I have an extremely important
announcement to make.

Josephine and I have been
on the receiving end

of some utterly dreadful letters.
I'm sorry to say,

but there is a poison pen
letter writer in our midst.

That's dreadful. Who would even do
that? What's a poison pen letter?

It's an anonymous letter
designed to hurt.

I received two.

"You're a dictator, not a director."

Mary-Lou, I didn't tell you
to read it out loud.

Oh, sorry.

What did they write to Jo?

Poor Jo received,

"I don't mean to be horrid,
but you need to change."

Oh, Jo, that's terrible. I wouldn't
believe any of you would write that

about anyone. I hope you know
it's not me. Quiet, please!

Rehearsals are cancelled.

ALL: What?!

And if the perpetrator does not come
forward, the show might be, too.

Why don't we give the culprit

a chance to do the right thing
and own up?

You're turning into a jolly good
head, Mary-Lou.

I'd like you all to conduct
your own private investigations.

I need all of the cast back here
by half-past four.

If nobody is able to confess
by then,

I'll have to go to Miss Grayling.

Whoever did this deserves to be
expelled.

Poor you! Who would say
such horrid things?

I mean...

..I don't know how to say
this...

..but Felicity.

What?

I mean, those were your exact words.

"Not a director, a dictator."

Maybe I said it, but it's what
we were all thinking.

Gwen has been pretty tough on you.

You'd have a good reason to be
angry.

I'd never write nasty anonymous
letters.

It MUST be a coincidence.

Well, it might be...

..but we need to clear our names
with Gwen.

We'd better hold a search.

Meet back here at break time.

Felicity did say those words.

I know it's serious for Jo,

but I've been thinking about
the poem from Mr Murray's tent.

I'm sure it's the key to finding
the missing chamber.

Come on, I'll explain.

Read it out.

"Legend has it buried deep.

"Most shining gold shall rise
from sleep.

"Here wealth for all to share
his keep".

SHE SIGHS

What do you think it means?

That somewhere sleeps shiny gold
treasure waiting to be found?

What if the shining gold
isn't just treasure,

but it has a double meaning?

What rises?

Bread? In the oven?

LAUGHING: That's silly.

What rises and shines?

The sun! So, if it's talking about
the chamber,

it could mean that it's facing
the east, facing the rising sun!

Ahem. What's going on here?

Oh, we were looking for a map
which covers the school grounds.

Since when were you such
keen geographers?

Since we found a clue to where
the chamber entrance might be.

You know how the ancients used
to build chambers by the sun?

Indeed, I do. Their mathematical
brilliance was astonishing.

Well, we think ours might face
the rays of the rising sun,

and a map will help us find out where
on the grounds that might be.

You'll need more than a map. You'll
need to find the solar azimuth.

TOGETHER: The solar azimuth?

You need to measure the angle
of the sun.

Then you draw a sun path diagram

and match it to the geographical
area of the map.

I was obsessed as a boy.

Beautiful things.

How do we do that?

With a sextant.

I'm afraid we don't have
one of those.

Oh, please, could you keep it up?

Can I copy it? Not now.

We have grammar, which you need
far more than a sextant.

Take your seat, please.
Class is about to start.

Oh, let me clean the board for you,
Mr Parker.

Then you can organise
your grammar books.

Thank you, Susan.

That's very thoughtful of you.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Can you believe it?

I forgot my grammar book.

JOSEPHINE CHUCKLES

Got it!

What's keeping you? Mr Parker WILL
be waiting.

I...

Uh, well...

..I've just had a little bit of
a tough morning.

Um...

Oh, Jo! That poison pen letter
has really upset you, hasn't it?

Come on, let's go to class together.

They'll catch whoever did it,
I'm sure.

BELL RINGS

Keep your trunks open, everyone,
so I can see inside, please.

SHE SIGHS

Sorry to make everyone do this.

Oh, what's that?

Oh, it's the sextant we've made

to help Mr Murray look
for the chamber.

Lucky Gwen didn't see this.

She'd probably think
it was very suspicious.

Hold on a moment, Mary-Lou.

I need to check something out.

We said they could investigate
themselves. Yes, I know that.

But if it's one of them, they can't
be trusted.

Gwen!

Oh, my.

This was the magazine
that I was reading.

Right, then, put your things away.

As I thought, it was none of us.

Never, in all of my life,

have I ever been so shocked
and...disappointed.

Mary-Lou and I have found
the magazine

that was used to make the letters.

And we know the identity of
the poison pen writer, don't we?

Felicity Rivers.

What? Your name is right here.

It's my magazine, fine, but anyone
could have taken it.

She's right, Gwen.

I didn't do it, I simply wouldn't.

Really?

What's this then?

These letters look awfully
similar to me.

Jo, could you look under
Felicity's bed?

Nothing. Under the mattress.

Pass it here.

You are so ungrateful. After
everything I've done for you!

It's not mine!

This is all starting to make
horrible sense to me now.

What does it say? Don't pretend like
you don't know!

Read this one out loud.

"Do not report these letters,
or else."

I'll have you expelled for that.

Gwen, I never wrote that!

I don't know how it got
under my mattress.

Someone must have put it
there to frame me.

Is there anything else under there?
Come on, help me!

Gwen, please! I didn't do it!

Ah-ha!

Look, everybody. Glue!

Felicity, you're STILL going
to deny it?

Yes!

You all believe me, don't you?

You know I'm not that sort
of person.

GWEN SCOFFS

You're all as bad as each other.

Poor Jo, having YOU as classmates.

Where is Jo?

Probably in a corner, crying
somewhere.

It's what I feel like doing.

I'm afraid I am going to have
to cancel the play.

Don't do that, Gwen. You CAN'T
cancel the show!

I love the play.

I didn't do it. I'm innocent.

Where do you think you're going?

To tell Miss Grayling.

You can't just go around making
accusations like this.

GWEN SCOFFS

I don't think so.

Felicity!

Stop!

Do not try and wriggle out of this.

Your sister has always had it in for
me and - clearly - you do too.

I don't have it in for anyone!
I just want to clear my name. Mm.

KNOCKS ON DOOR

I'm in the middle of something,
girls.

Miss Grayling, when you are ready,

please could I be the one to be seen
first? It's about Felicity.

That's not fair! You'll both
have to wait.

Gwen and Felicity? Indeed.

Do they have something to do
with these anonymous letters?

Gwen thinks it's Felicity
who wrote the letters...

..but I know it's not.

Ah. And how do you know this?

I know the girl who did it.

And who might that be?

I can't tell tales...

..but I do know that
she's really sorry,

and she'll NEVER do it again.

You mustn't protect someone
who behaves like this.

Let's hear what Gwen and Felicity
have to say about it.

I can't bear all this waiting.

What do you think has happened?

It can't be Felicity. It can't.

What is that?

It's a sun map.

To try and pin down the location
of the chamber.

How can you two concentrate on
anything else at a time like this?

DOOR OPENS

So, you see, Miss Grayling, Jo and I
have been most grievously wronged,

and I'm afraid all of the evidence
is pointing to Felicity here.

She really just should be expelled!

Well, it certainly is very serious.

It wasn't me, I promise.

You can't expel her! You mustn't!

I KNOW it wasn't her.

How could you possibly know that?

Because it was me.

YOU wrote those horrid letters?

No. No, I don't believe that.

What about the one that was written
about you?

I came to deliver it to you, but you
caught me before I could and...

..I'm so terribly sorry.

Why?

Because Gwen was being so horrid.

You said that you wished that
someone could talk to her

to make her understand the way
that all of us felt.

I didn't mean like this!

Why didn't you just speak to
Gwendoline

and tell her how the cast were
feeling?

I tried!

But you didn't listen.

You...can be quite scary.

Just nonsense.

This is just...completely unfair,

after I've poured my heart
and soul into this play!

I trusted you.

We were a team.

I'm sorry, Miss Grayling.

Please, could I have a minute
to gather myself?

Yes, of course. Thank you.

Miss Grayling, this was never MEANT
to happen.

I tried to help Felicity and warn
Gwen at the same time.

SHE SIGHS

Do you see now how this was

very much the wrong way
to go about things?

You've hurt many people, Josephine.

And you will need to work hard
to regain their trust

and hope that they can forgive you.

Please don't expel me.

I need to consider what to do.

Both of you, back to your form.

I need to find Gwendoline.

SHE SIGHS

There you are. Stay.

I'll join you.

Oh, I used to love sitting
here as a girl.

It's an excellent place
to take stock.

Have you been reflecting, Gwen?

It's a dreadful affair. Mm.

It seems that I've been somewhat
overbearing. Mm.

But I had to be, otherwise
the play wouldn't go on.

Well, you must take some
responsibility, Gwen,

for how the girls are feeling.

Felicity must hate me.

Oh, hate is a strong word.

And while the girls are
as upset as you are,

as their director, they will be
looking to you.

I don't know if I can direct
the play any more, Miss Grayling.

Mm, well, the performance
is tomorrow.

We need the play back on track.

GWEN SIGHS

And it's a challenge, but one
I believe you can rise to.

But what about Jo? How could
I work with her again? Hm.

What she did was truly dreadful.

What Josephine did was very grave...

..but she has confessed
and apologised from the heart.

Will she not be punished?

I'm considering the situation.

Are YOU prepared to give her
a second chance?

What happens to her next
is up to me?

Think carefully.

These steps are good for that.

Mr Murray's gone!

And keep an eye out - we don't want
to be caught here without permission.

Right, let's see if this works.

Wait. There's a problem.

How many days in a year?

365.

366 each leap year.

Exactly. The sun moves.

What we measure now will be right
for today,

but every day is different.

Well, then we have to find out
what day the ancients used.

But how?

Maybe there's a clue in the poem?

What are you doing here?

I came to apologise again.

I am so, so sorry.

I'm not sure sorry is enough, Jo...

..after all you've put me through.

I'll work really, really hard
to make up for it.

It's too late for that now.

Fortunately, Miss Grayling has left
the decision

of what is to be done with you
in my hands.

What are you going to do?

APPROACHING CHATTER

Jo, what are you doing?

I wanted to apologise to you all.

Especially you, Felicity.

I am so sorry for all the trouble
I've caused.

What's happened?

Gwen's expelled me.

Fifth-formers don't have the right
to expel anyone.

Gwen does.

Miss Grayling put my fate
in her hands.

Jo, that's terrible.

I suppose I deserve it.

I wish I could stay.

I've changed schools so many
times, and I've never minded...

..but it's different with you girls
and Malory Towers.

Goodbye, all.

I'll miss you.

Don't forget me too soon, will you?

This feels all wrong.

If Gwen has a say in this,
surely we should too?

I think we should fight
for Jo to stay.

Did Miss Grayling make a decision
about Jo?

She left it up to me.

Jo must be so relieved.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

Gwen, we seconds think you've gone
too far, punishing Jo like this.

It's not fair. What have you done,
Gwen?

I told her she was being...expelled.

But, Gwen, don't you think
she deserves a second chance?

She behaved appallingly.

Excuse us, one moment.

Look, it's no worse than some
of the things you've done.

What about when you stamped
on my courage pen?

Or you stole all our special things?

You could have been asked to leave,
but we gave you a second chance.

Gwen, if you don't change your mind,

our whole dorm is going to
Miss Grayling to appeal.

You are all overreacting.
No, we're not.

And you still haven't apologised yet
for wrongly accusing me.

Look, I'm sorry for blaming you,
that goes without saying,

but this has all been blown utterly
out of proportion here.

Josephine, are you all right?

Why do you have your night case?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

There's nothing to worry about,
Miss Grayling.

There's been a misunderstanding.

I'm going to clear it all up.

Aren't you all meant to be
at a play rehearsal?

Not me.

I've been expelled.

Gwendoline, I was asking you to
consider Josephine's future

as your assistant director,
not her position in the school.

I-I knew that. I knew that.

Of course, you haven't been expelled.

I just... I just said that
she deserved to be expelled,

but I was always going to give you
a second chance, really.

I've decided to forgive you
and to be lenient...

..and keep you as my assistant
director.

Thank you. Oh, thank you, thank you!

Thanks, Gwen. Well done.

No need for all that, you silly girl.

I believe this is a fair-minded
and generous decision.

You'll be so happy you did this.

Josephine, I believe you are working
hard to make up for it,

but your peers need to know they can
trust you.

I know you can do it.

Now, there's a play to put on!

Off you go.

"Most shining gold shall rise."

WHISPERS: "Most shining gold."

I don't know. We're not going
to find it after all, are we?

Susan, I've got it!

The clue is in the word most.
What day do you get the most sun?

The longest day of the year.
Exactly. The summer solstice.

Isn't that...the day after tomorrow?
Exactly!

So, we can judge from today's sun.

It will barely change
between now and then.

I just need to line it up correctly.

And then...it must be somewhere
over this way!

Up here.

Careful. Don't slip.

Ow! Watch out - nettles.

What's that?

Some kind of... Stone mound!

Oh, my goodness!

Ruth! Ruth, quick, look! What?

What have you found?

It's another of the washing stones.

Exactly the same markings!

This must have been
their original spot,

before the washerwomen moved them!

Perhaps there's a door somewhere.

Oh, Susan, do you think we've found
the chamber?

It must be here.

We have to find a way in!

SHE SIGHS

BELL RINGS DISTANTLY

Oh, that's the bell for tea.
We have to go

or Matron will send out
a search party.

Let's come back tomorrow,
as soon as we can!

Not a word to anyone.

Imagine - we could be the first
people to step inside

for over a thousand years.

How amazing! Come on.
