Original subtitles

Have another crunchy caramel.

Horrible thing.

Quick, pack all this up and let's go.

Wakey, wakey. Rise and shine.

Last day of Mallory Towers.

No more lessons.

No more exams.

No more tide pools. No more midnight feet.

No more pranks.

No more being together.

I'm going to miss you all so much.

I'm going to miss you too.

Good morning.

Oh, your father, Gwen, how is he?

He's on the mend.

He's up and walking.

I've never seen him cry before.

Poor Gwen.

Poor father.

Things aren't going to be the same now.

You're still in your pyjamas. Get dressed.

Miss Grayling would like to see you before today's last assembly, please,

Wasn't it meant to be the head girl team?

Oh, no, Gwendolyn, with everything that's happened, you're excused. I'd

keep busy.

Very well.

If you think it will help.

Now, the rest of you, get on with pairing these lost socks, please.

Extra chores on the last day.

Matron!

Thank you, Matron.

I dig it, everyone.

Lily, can we please... No, no, I've heard all I need. I think I'll take a

turn around my new home.

Your new home?

Didn't you hear about the new will your sister found yesterday?

Mallory Towers is all mine.

Is this true?

It appears so, the school.

rightfully belong to Mick Vernon. Oh, no, no, I won't keep it as a school.

I think we both know I'm not cut out for education.

Maybe a luxury hotel with a golf course.

Vernon Towers.

I'm afraid this will be my dear cousin's last day as head.

I'll make an announcement at last assembly.

Ta -ta.

Miss Green, you can't let her take Mallory Towers. There must be something

can do.

Not this time.

How do you know that's not forgery?

My grandfather always signed with this seal.

But the stamp he used has been lost for decades.

I don't see how she could have forged it.

May I investigate? No, Daryl.

You have a big day.

And as head girl, I need you to oversee the preparations.

as I must speak with the governors.

Yes, Miss Groening, but I... No buts.

Today is final assembly, where we celebrate your school careers.

If Lily opens the hotel, there'll be no school for Felicity or anyone to come

back to next year.

I just didn't think that today could get any worse.

Gwen, I know Miss Grayling said not to investigate, but I need to ask Felicity

about the will. Can you take over these duties for me?

Do you have the strength?

Cool.

Apart from finding the will, was there anything else unusual that happened

recently? There was a mysterious intruder.

Mysterious intruder?

Could that have been Miss Vernon? No, she wasn't there at that time.

How do you know?

Jo? Leave me alone. I've told you everything.

Jo?

Nancy asked you a question.

I know because I visited her.

She's at the abandoned cottage.

You lied.

No.

She made me promise not to tell.

Right, everyone else finish packing. Joe, Felicity, come with me.

Right now!

Oh, why are they so awkward to Karen?

Gwen.

Can I help?

Ron.

Goodness. You look terribly smart.

Are you joining the army?

Conscription.

At your service.

Doesn't that mean if there were another war, then you could be... Caught up.

I'm lucky we're at peace.

But I'm glad to serve.

I'm leaving tonight.

You have a button missing.

I know.

Caught it this morning.

Here, hand it to me.

I'll fix it for you.

If you can finish setting up the chairs.

Miss Vernon was homeless and staying here.

What?

Nothing. It's just... It's so bare.

She clearly didn't want anyone to know she'd been in here.

Wait. What's that?

Daryl, look.

Why burn a Mallory Towers dress?

To destroy evidence?

But didn't you say the intruder was wearing a school dress?

So Miss Vernon was the intruder.

What was she looking for?

Uh, probably food.

I mean, she was starving. I had to sneak her in my tuck. All right, keep

looking. There might be more clues.

I'm just making sure that the buttons hold.

You're really careful around, aren't you?

I think I have for quite some time.

Well, that's wonderful.

No, it's not. It's too late.

Never too late.

When I thought that Father might die, I made a pact

that if he came through, then I was going

to do something valuable with my life.

I just needed a sidewalk.

Well, I know that you can do anything that you really put your mind to.

You're brave.

Am I?

Remember when you saved me on the cliff?

And you're brave now.

With your father.

Can you give this to Ron?

I've had an idea.

See? There's nothing.

Can we please go now?

Wait!

Look!

This is the same red wax you could find the seal on the will.

I don't know how she forged it, but she must have done.

She... she didn't forge the will. You have to believe me. How would you know?

Because she found it in these old papers that Miss Rainey gave to her. Well,

that doesn't make sense.

How did it get behind the desk?

Jo, this is very, very serious.

I put it there.

She knew that Miss Grayling wouldn't believe her if she told her otherwise.

No, she should have not involved you. Did she ask you to do anything else?

Answer me, Jo, now!

Don't shout at me, Daryl! Oh, you see, this isn't right. Did she ask you to do

anything else?

She just asked me to bring her the chess set.

Well, she asked you to steal the chess set from Miss Grayling. Not!

Jolynn, I put it back!

But why would she want it anyway? I mean, how does she even know about it?

Daryl! We used it as a prop in our film for the moment that Henry VIII makes his

request.

Sign with the king.

I have to go. I have packing to do. Joe!

Joe, come back here right now!

Joe!

It winds up so suddenly.

Wait. Sign with the king.

What if the king doesn't only mean Henry VIII?

What if the chess set has a king?

What if it means sign using the king?

Quick, let's go.

Felicity. The king's gone.

We need to check the dorm and we have to find Jo.

Excuse me, Miss Grayling.

Gwendolyn.

Sorry, I can come back later.

It's...

I can't imagine my life without Mallory Towers.

It must be very difficult.

Is there something you needed to ask me, Gwendolyn?

Everything's... changed.

And I need to change, too.

I know that you were in the Women's Royal Navy.

Is it a good career?

It's hard work.

No shirking.

I can't shirk anymore.

And I don't want to.

Do you think that I could be a wren?

I think you can do anything you set your mind to.

Have you seen Joe?

Daryl, what is going on? You look dreadful.

I'm so angry.

I'm burning that Lily Vernon.

Daryl, I do not know what has happened, but you cannot talk to anyone in this

state. I've messed everything up.

Calm down.

Just explain it to me.

I write in Joe when I needed her to trust me the most, and now she has proof

that the new will is forged, and if she gives it to Miss Vernon, then she'll

destroy it. The school will be lost forever.

Calm down now.

Breathe. I just want to shake some sense into her. Listen to me, Daryl.

That is the old Daryl Rivers speaking.

You harness that temper and win her over.

It's not too late.

I don't really think so.

People, they want to be liked by you.

They want to be your friend.

Even though I know it's been difficult between us.

Go.

You show Jo that she can trust you and you take all of that and the fire and

passion that is in you.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

Ladies and gentlemen. No, no, no, that's too much.

It's far too much. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Well, rent lorry, yellow lorry, rent lorry, yellow lorry, rent lorry. Miss

Vernon.

I needed to talk to you.

Now. Oh, for goodness sake. Carol thinks you forged the will.

What? She found the ceiling wax in the cottage.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Of course I didn't forge it.

I knew you were innocent.

Poor Josephine.

Where is this seal?

You have it.

it, Joe, or Mallory Towers will be lost forever.

That is what you used to force the seal on the will.

This sign with the king has been staring at us in our face this whole time.

Give it to me, Joe. Don't, Joe.

Pass it here. Joe, please, listen to me.

Look, Joe, I know how scared and upset you must feel, but with the chess piece

and with your story, we can save the school.

We can prove that Miss Van faked the whole thing.

Don't listen.

She's trying to turn you against me, Josephine. Jo, I know this is hard, but

must see that she's manipulating you. Oh, and this isn't manipulation!

No teacher should ever use their power in the way that you did.

You're not just a teacher to me, Miss Vernon.

Are you? Oh, Josephine.

I love you.

Like a daughter.

How dare you play with Jo's emotions like that?

Getting her to sneak around school, pissing her against her friends and

teachers, splitting her loyalties.

It must have been horrible for you, Jo.

You must have felt so alone.

She doesn't care about you, Jo.

Why? I don't know who to believe anymore.

You know the truth.

Josephine, don't be afraid of it.

Mallory should have always been mine.

You did forge the will. I had to.

To set things right.

And you helped.

We're in this together.

She doesn't care about anyone but herself.

Jo, trust us.

Your friends and your real teachers.

I thought you loved me.

Sweet girl, I do.

You're last.

I would like to return this seal.

You, Miss Grayling.

Well done, Jo.

Thank you for an illuminating performance.

Come along.

I should report you to the police. Please.

Life hasn't been as kind to me as it has to you, cousin.

You're a famous film star. Please, my career is over.

I'm a washed -up has -been spat out by the industry I love.

And that's an excuse for theft, breaking and entering, and forgery.

Forgive me.

I can explain. I have heard enough.

Give me my robe.

But on my crown, I have immortal longings in me.

What?

She may

be

a terrible teacher, but she's still a good actress.

Farewell, cousin.

I doubt that we shall ever meet again.

And if we do...

I shall not be so forbearing.

I'm

so

sorry, Miss Grayling.

I just wanted to help her.

Big -heartedness is an admirable quality, Jo.

But the way Miss Vernon treated you was wrong.

Thank you, both of you, for restoring justice.

Keeping Mallory Towers alive.

Now, Daryl, I need you to resume head girl duties from Gwendolyn.

And tell her to come to me. I have something for her. Yes, Miss Crilling.

And Daryl...

You have officially outgrown my advice.

That's not true.

If you had listened to me, Mallory Towers would be lost.

Gone.

I am eternally grateful.

As your head girl, I speak here on behalf of all of us.

We stand on the threshold of our next chapter.

You now see standing before me a future nurse, a journalist,

a musician, classical and skiffle, a teacher,

a sportswoman, Mallory Towers' new riding mistress,

A future Wren.

And if all goes well, a doctor.

Thank you, Miss Grayling.

Thank you, Matron.

Thank you to all our teachers.

Mallory Towers has given us the best start in life, the best education, and

memories that will bind us together forever.

We'd now like to all come together and sing for you.

Because nothing says it better than the school song.

My only advice to you is make the most of your time here.

Because it will go too soon.

One, two, three.

The uniform fits perfectly, Miss Grayling.

Thank you.

I can't imagine a better home. You'll be a fine wren. Thank you for all the

second chances you've given my daughter.

Well, thank you for supporting her.

And the school.

I never doubted you were a Mallory Towers girl.

Thank goodness I'm coming to yours. Couldn't bear this to be goodbye.

Being apart doesn't change anything.

We'll be friends for life.

I can't believe it's time to go.

Promise to stay in touch, everyone. This is it. Come along.

Not the end of the world. Just school.

Go to the bus.

I have so much course reading to do. We have to have fun, too.

Santa's going to miss you all so much.

Hello, Gwen.

You look so... I'm going to the Navy.

I suppose.

Goodbye.

We'll meet again, won't we?

We did right.

Run. Will you be my sweetheart?

Come on, let's go.

I don't want my school days to end.

Valerie Tau will always be with you.

Right here.

You're ready for the world

Miss you!
