04x12 - The Terrible Day

[bunniefuu]

That's right. So now use the formula
half base times height.

Ruth?



That's it.
Perfect.

Oh, Ruth, um, I was wondering,

do you have any plans
for this afternoon?

It's just, I was thinking...

No, she hasn't.

But she's busy right now
helping me with this.

Honestly, Connie, you should let
Ruth speak for herself.

She's not a mouse.

Excuse me!

What did you call my sister?

I didn't call her anything.

I said she's not a mouse.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

There, just in time to hand it in.

[BELL STOPS RINGING]

What I was going to ask is,
would you like to join me for a ride

this afternoon during free period?

That would be smashing.
Brilliant!

You know, Ruth, you're so different
when Connie's not around.

Really?
I know what she means.

Yes. You're much more fun.

[GIRLS GIGGLE]

[THEY GIGGLE]

These valuable old seafaring objects
belonged to my ancestor, Sir Charles.

They will go to a local museum
at the end of the term,

so do take the opportunity to
study them.

Though some of you have had
ample time already.

If only we had a bit more time.

Look!

It's the missing half of the map.

Miss Grayling got it out.

Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!
No grubby paws!

These are precious.
Sorry, Matron.

Yes, they are.

It's all smeared.

Why isn't it pieced back together?

Because yours truly still has
the other half, up in the dorm.

June, it belongs here with
the rest of the things.

You can't keep it.

You sound just like your sister.

Seriously, it's the right thing to do
and you know it.

Go and get it. We'll give it to
Miss Grayling straight after class.

Yes, Miss Rivers.

I've never been riding
on a beach before.

Oh, it's wonderful.
You'll love it.

And the horses love the sand.

So excited!

Happy now?

Whoa. Here!

Got my prep done just in time.

Right, well, I'll see you in
the stables after lunch, then.

Are we riding?

Great!

Thanks for organising, Clarissa.
We'll be there.

Oh, but I can't wait.

She wants to go riding
with Clarissa. Let her.

This is nothing to do with you.

Why do you put up with her, Ruth?

Why are you such a doormat?

TEACHER: Bonjour, les filles.
GIRLS: Bonjour, mademoiselle.

You're the one who's controlling,

making us join in your silly pranks,
disrupting our lessons.

That's fun. You just don't know
how to have a good time.

Take that back!

June, Connie, silence.

No, I will not take that back.

I can say what I like.

You can't stop me.

June Johns, I asked you to be quiet.

Out, now!

Out of my class!

Psst.

What do you think?

Psst.

[SHE HUMS POINTEDLY]

Don't let June spoil our day.

You and I will have
much more fun together

than you ever would with Clarissa.

Mademoiselle?

May I be excused?

Oui, bien sur.

X. X marks the spot.

You're a star for coming with me.

Admit it.
It's lucky that I kept the map.

We have to return it as soon
as we find the treasure.

But X marks the spot,
it truly does.

This must be the treasure,

and - oh!
That must be the cove round there.

But the tide's in.

It's cut-off.

Now what?
Oh, if only we could get out there.

Look!

What's a lovely day
to go horse riding, Ruth.

Hurry up, Connie.

My riding hat!

Oh, that's been cut through.

Connie, I'm so sorry.
Who keeps doing these things?

Someone must truly hate me.
No-one hates you.

Someone has to be behind all this.

I've had enough of this bullying.

Bullying?
Yes.

Connie's right.
This is a form of bullying.

Oh, it's truly horrid.

We're going to find out who's done this?
It has to stop.

Felicity?
June Johns, get away from that boat!

Again.

Felicity, June - stop right now.

What exactly do you think
you're doing?

Just having a bit of fun.
In a rowing boat in the open sea?

That's so dangerous.

What possessed you?

We... we were treasure hunting.

Why?!

Well, we just thought...

We just thought, why not?

Don't lie to me.
I'm your sister.

I'm not lying.

I'm just not...

...telling you everything.

What's going on?

I'm sorry, June.

Did you take this
from Miss Grayling's display?

No, we found this half ourselves.

We were going to hand it in after
we used it to find the treasure.

After everything that happened
with the secret room,

have you two learned nothing
from your mistakes?

I'm sorry, but I'm going
to have to report this.

No, please don't.

What if the boat had capsized?
What if you'd been swept out to sea?

Look, I'm sorry, but this is far
too serious for me to handle alone.

Darrell?

You're just who we were looking for.

Someone's done something terrible
to Connie.

Um... It's not the first time.
Things of mine keep going missing

or being vandalised.
Should we go to Miss Grayling?

Um, well, do you have any idea
who it might be?

June Johns?

There's no proof, though, is there?
Are you certain?

Absolutely.
It has to be her.

Rose, it's a big accusation to make
if you don't have proof.

I suggest you gather enough evidence
and hold a class court.

Like a trial?
Exactly.

Thanks, Darrell.
Right.

This is ridiculous.

I never touched your hat.
It wasn't me.

Let's go over the facts.
Connie, when did you last see your hat,

undamaged?
This morning.

Ruth put it in my trunk.

Later, after French,
I found it like that.

So, it happened during French.

Did anyone leave the class?

Ruth went to the toilet.

And June was sent out.

Well, we know it isn't Ruth.

And June's never liked me.

I would never do anything like this,
even if I hated you.

Which I almost do.

You were the only one in the dorm
when my prep work went missing.

And the itching powder
was your trick.

It had to be
who put it in my cap.

My bag vanished on the field trip
right after I had to work with you.

I didn't do any of those things.

I am not guilty.

Let's vote.

Those who think June is guilty,
raise your hands.

Those who think she's innocent...

I know you wouldn't do those things.

You're never mean or cruel.

Ruth?

It's too horrible.

I don't want to vote.

I don't want to believe
anyone here did it.

So, one abstention,

two innocent,

and three guilty.

I'm sorry too, but I'm going to
have to take you to Miss Grayling.

I feel awful,
telling on my sister like this.

But they don't seem to have
learnt anything from yesterday.

They keep making stupid
and dangerous decisions, and...

...anything could have happened
to them.

You did the right thing
coming to me.

Felicity never used to be like this.

This is really not how she would
usually behave.

I think June is a really
bad influence on her.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Come in.

Ah, Susan, June.

Just who I wanted to see.

I'm so sorry to bother you,
Miss Grayling, but, um,

there's been a spot of trouble
with June. Indeed.

Susan, go and find Felicity.

There's no need for that.

I was the ringleader.

The map and the boat were my idea.

Punish me if you like,
but just not her.

Right.

Is this what you wanted
to talk to me about, Susan?

Actually, no.

We did a class court,
as you suggested, Darrell,

and the majority of the girls
voted that June's guilty.

Guilty?
Of what?

A series of really mean tricks on Connie.
And, er...

...this. I didn't do that.

I admit the map and the boat
are my fault, but the tricks

played on Connie weren't me.

It's very important to take
responsibility and learn

from our mistakes.

I can't learn from mistakes
that I haven't made.

Come with me, June.
Are you going to expel me?

I haven't decided yet.

But I don't think it's wise
for you to share a dorm

with the others while this
is all hanging over you.

[SHE HUMS 'HERE COMES THE BRIDE']

Matron! This young lady
needs to stay in the san

until further notice.

Mm, as if my hands
weren't full enough.

What has she done now?

I'll leave her to explain.

Mm-hm.

Use this time wisely, June.

You need to show you intend to mend
your ways if you wish to stay

at Malory Towers.

Up! No idling.

I may as well make use of you.

You can help me
with the wedding flowers.

Don't you want to know
what I've been accused of?

I'm sure Miss Grayling
will take care of that.

Whatever she decides, your attitude
needs to change, young lady.

It's not my fault
I have a bad reput...

Trim the lower leaves, please.

It's not my fault
if I have a bad reputation.

Oh, really?
Whose fault is it, then?

I don't know and I don't care.
Well, perhaps you should care.

What's the point?

It won't be the first time
I've been expelled.

Do you want to stay
at Malory Towers, June?

If I only could find the treasure,
prove that I haven't been

on a wild goose chase
all this time...

...then Miss Grayling would like me.

Miss Grayling likes
all of her pupils, June.

This is not about finding treasure.

This is about you.

You need to make a change
within yourself.

There's no point.

It's too late.

Ah, it's never too late.

Never.

Are you all right, Ruth?

Of course she's not.

She's upset by everything
that has happened.

I asked Ruth, not you.
Connie.

It's not June
who should be expelled.

It's me.

I'm the mean, horrid, nasty one.

No, you're not.

I cut your hat.

I did those things to you.

Connie?

Connie, I'm so sorry.

Connie?
Say something.

What is it?

What's happening?

Connie's bully is Ruth.

I was right.

June is innocent.

I didn't mean it.

I don't know why I did it.

I do.
It's Malory Towers.

This place has had
a dreadful effect on us.

This never would have happened
at our old school.

We're leaving.
But I don't want to.

Yes, you do! There's no way
we're staying after this.

It's not the school, Connie.

It is!
It's you!

You're horribly upset.

You don't know what you're saying.

Yes, I do!

You never let me do anything
on my own.

I always have to help you
with your work.

You always speak for me.

I love you, Connie.

But sometimes I hate you too.

It's late.
Everyone back to bed.

Doing these things to your sister...

...it's...

...unacceptable.

I know.

I'm so sorry, Connie.

I never meant to hurt you.

But if you knew it was hurtful,
why did you do it?

Because it was the only way

I can make a bit of time for myself.

I love you.
I really do.

But...

...I just don't think it's good
that I help her with her work

and let her copy me.

Connie...

...has this been happening?

It's the only way I can keep up.

It's not. You'll do fine alone,
just like I'm fine

when you're not around.

You two have got yourself
in quite a muddle, haven't you?

Even though you're twins,
you've come to rely

on each other too much.

You are two different people.

I understand
how you were feeling, Ruth.

But it was wrong to resolve it
this way,

and to allow June to be accused.

It was very wrong.

I know. I'm so sorry.
You should expel me instead of her.

Well, your remorse shows me that
that will not be necessary.

But this cannot continue.

The school and I can help you both
learn to be more independent,

while still supporting one another.

Would you like that?

Yes, please, Miss Grayling.
Yes, please, Miss Grayling.

Very well, then.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

One moment, please.

I'll be right back.

But in the meantime,

help yourself.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry too.

So, you see, Miss Grayling,

as I've just told Darrell,

it was my suggestion
to take the boat out.

It's as much my fault
as it was June's.

And Felicity says
June's been proven innocent

of all the tricks on Connie.

I shouldn't have been so quick to judge.
I was wrong.

Please don't expel her, please.

Well, thank you, Rivers sisters.

In light of everything I've heard
this morning, I can assure you

that June will not be asked
to leave the school.

Why don't you both go to the san
and tell June that I will see her

when Matron and I return
from the registry office?

Hurry along now. We all have
a wedding party to prepare for.

Thank you. Thank you, Miss Grayling.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

June? June?
We have incredible news.

Wake up, lazybones.

Oh, no!
She's gone.
