Malory Towers (2020) s03e05 Episode Script


Jean, pass.
Great catch.
Okay, now run, run.
Quickly, pass to the player.
Pass it over here to me.
Darrell, high on left!
Great catch, well done!
After all this exercise,
I'm famished.
Come on, let's go for breakfast.
If we want to impress the county scout,
we need to practise as much as we can.
She'll be looking for the best of
the best
when she comes to watch our match.
Play like that and she'll pick you
for the county trials for sure.
Here, look at this.
What are these?
New rules.
"No talking in the corridors
during meal times or in class."
So she can stop us talking to one another.
Look at this one.
"No fraternising with the ground staff."
Does that mean I'm not supposed
to speak to Ron about Thunder?
It's not right for young ladies to
mix with the staff.
Every one of my rules will guide you
towards becoming exemplary young women.
Does Miss Grayling know?
I'm sure Miss Grayling would agree
that disobedience
is not to be tolerated.
You wouldn't want me to take
away your privileges, would you?
I know how much you all love your sport.
And the county trials are coming
up soon, aren't they?
But that's how they choose the team.
Playing lacrosse for the school
or the county
is a privilege,
not a right, Darrell.
I'm afraid I will have to award
you the first order mark of the day,
with Jean in close second.
What?! why?!
Rule three.
Full school uniform must be worn
inside the school building.
Not your games kit, and most
certainly not muddy boots.
Enjoy your breakfast, girls.
I'm so sorry.
It's so not fair.
No food or drink outside
the dining hall unless with permission.
No leaving the school building
without a permission slip.
No jewellery is to be worn
and all had must be tied back.
Now, if everyone would turn out
their pockets to make sure
we're adhering to rule six,
which is
All valuables and personal belongings,
must remain in the common room or dormitory.
Precisely.
Pockets, please, girls.
Pockets, please, Wilhelmina.
Are you planning on seeing your horse?
It's not for Thunder, it's for me.
I love raw carrots.
Can't eat enough.
Mm, my favourite.
If you would kindly tell me what
rule five is, Wilhelmina?
No food outside of the dining hall.
No food or drink outside of the
dining hall, unless with permission.
And please try to brush your hair.
It was a gift for my mother, Miss Johnson.
Don't you think it's beautiful?
Lovely.
Ellen.
Fascinating.
I grew this crystal myself.
Very clever and very enterprising,
Ellen.
Thank you.
Why don't you prepare a
demonstration for our next class?
I I'd love to.
Maybe she's not so bad.
All right, team, ready?
Good pass.
Coming your way, go!
Pass it to me, Darrell!
Irene!
Darrell!
Oh, got it.
Great catch.
Over here!
Eyes front, Jean.
Whoops. Sorry. Oh.
Girls
permission slips, please.
We're not doing anything wrong.
Well, there is a written rule that states otherwise.
Lacrosse is a lesson.
You are outside of the school building.
But the pitch is like a classroom,
it's not the same as the pool
or the stables.
Miss Grayling always encouraged us
to train when we have free time.
You know I think Miss Grayling is a
wonderful headmistress
but Miss Johnson is in charge now
and you do not have permission to be out here.
Please, Matron, we thought lacrosse
practise would be all right.
Order marks all round.
It's about time you young ladies
learned obedience--
on that, Miss Johnson and I agree.
Inside, all of you.
It's my second order mark today.
What if Miss Johnson decides
to take away my privileges
and stops me playing in the trials?
You just need to keep calm,
don't get wound up
and follow the rules to the letter.
So then I suspended it in the air.
How?
Um, I tied it using a piece of fishing wire
and attached it to a pencil so it could hang.
Oh, it's so beautiful.
I am very impressed.
I love chemistry.
I want to be a research chemist.
They make food safer to eat,
they even make new materials to use.
What an interesting ambition.
Tell me, what other experiments have you tried?
So many I've lost count.
Could you tell me what reaction occurs
when you mix calcium metal with water?
That would create bubbles in the water?
Interesting.
And how might one go about creating
green bubbling water?
Um
Um, I, uh
Matron told me all about the blocked sink,
the bubbling water.
I'll wager you were behind it.
I'm I'm sorry.
The crystal.
I will return it to you at the end of term
if your form managed to keep their
order marks in check.
That's not fair!
I'm sorry.
Calm down, Darrell.
No, no!
It wasn't just Ellen who was behind the trick,
it's not fair that she's the one
being punished! Silence!
Science can be learned just as
effectively through reading it.
There will be no need for experiments,
as obviously they lead to dangerous pranks.
I will be confiscating this
and I will collect your chemistry set later.
Now, I have a meeting with Cook
to confirm plans for healthier meals.
Silent reading until I return.
[SHE SHOUTS]
[BOOK BANGS/GASPS]
Darrell!
Utter disregard for a valuable chemistry text.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
This cannot go unpunished.
Miss Johnson, please.
I'm sorry, Darrell
you will not be allowed to play
in the lacrosse match tomorrow.
Gwendoline will play centre.
No!
I beg your pardon, Gwendoline.
I'm so sorry, Miss Johnson.
This is just very out of character
for Darrell Rivers.
I'm sure no-one is more disappointed
in herself than Darrell.
It's it's true.
I'm deeply ashamed of my actions
but if I if I can't play
in the match tomorrow,
then the county scout won't be able
to see me play
and I might not make the county trials.
I'll give up my privileges
if you let Darrell play.
So will I.
I will, too. And me.
And Enough.
I admire you, Gwendoline,
for speaking out for your friend.
And I do not wish to appear inflexible.
Fix the book, Darrell.
All pages as they were
and nothing slapdash.
If the book is mended to my
satisfaction by the morning
you may play lacrosse.
If not, Gwendoline will take your place.
And this is YOUR punishment.
This is not a task to be shared.
That was mean, taking your lovely crystal.
I spent so much time caring for it,
making it perfect.
I worked so hard and she just took it.
And now she's taking my chemistry set,
I can't even make a new one.
If someone stopped me playing piano,
I don't know what I'd do.
Nine.
Thank you so much.
You should be careful, if Mr. Johnson
catches you
I will say that we're not helping
you, but giving you moral support.
Gwen, stop.
Stop fidgeting. Ouch.
Lights out, girls.
It's past nine o'clock
and you're not in bed.
Come along!
That includes you, Darrell.
But I need to get this finished.
Well, you should have thought
of that before you threw the book.
Perhaps if you all got more sleep,
you would not misbehave.
And I do not want to hear a noise,
not a solitary peep,
until the morning.
Understood?
Yes, Matron.
Yes, Matron.
[SHE SIGHS]
Darrell, Matron said
I can't miss the trial.
Whew.
The book.
Where's the book?
No, no, no.
Darrell.
I managed to put pages 250 to 300 in order.
I did 301 to 348.
349 to 605.
606 to 685.
And I put them all together.
Thank you, Gwen.
And I made sure it was finished
correctly, including the cover.
Oh, Ellen, you must be feeling rotten
after what Miss Johnson did with
your chemistry set.
I was.
But this will show how we
can't be beaten.
I can't believe it's done.
Thank you all so much.
How can I ever repay you?
Just please try to keep your temper in check
because some of us want to rest on
the reserves bench, Darrell.
Now, come on, you're going to miss the match.
[THEY LAUGH]
I'm impressed.
This wasn't an easy task.
No, Miss Johnson.
Especially to complete all
on your own.
You did do it all on your own,
didn't you?
And it has been done with precision and care?
Yes, Miss Johnson.
Good work.
Now go and get changed,
you have a match to play.
And, Darrell
don't let yourself down like that again.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[CLEARS THROAT]
Daddy?
Congratulations on making the team.
Will you be starting today?
It was felt that the other girls
should get a chance
but I taught them everything I know.
Oh!
[SHE PRETENDS TO COUGH]
Well, I hope you don't spend
the entire match sitting here.
What?
Carry on.
Where's Irene?
She'll be here, I'm sure.
You might get to see Gwendoline play.
Ah, yes.
I'm looking forward to the day.
Where have you been?
Sorry, it was the only time I could do it.
Do what?
Something for someone.
Bill, I got permission.
Good afternoon, girls.
You're the county scout?
I'm Mrs. Beck.
You can call me Harriet
and, yes, I am indeed the county scout.
I'm Darrell Rivers, I play centre.
Ah, Darrell, heard very good things about you.
Have a wonderful match, girls.
Break a leg.
Actually, don't.
[THEY LAUGH]
[SHE SQUEALS]
You heard her-- enjoy it.
I can't when I'm this nervous!
You're a wizard centre, just do what
you always do.
All right, ladies, this is going to
be a clean match.
No cross checks, no low passing
and keep out of the crease while shooting.
Understood?
Yes, miss.
Over here!
Go on, Darrell!
Yes, Darrell!
Go on, Darrell, go, go, go!
They're running on three hours'
sleep between them.
You wouldn't know it.
Everyone, quickly!
Yes, Irene!
Darrell, hey, Darrell, hey!
Yes, Mary-Lou!
Good pass, Mary-Lou!
Well done, Mary-Lou!
Go on, Darrell, you can score there!
Come on, you've got this, Darrell!
Is the scout watching?
Right, hurry up.
Ooh, that was so very close!
I don't know so much about lacrosse
but these girls certainly are fast.
Yes, well, Darrell and Mary-Lou
make a great pairing.
They certainly do.
Come on!
Oh.
Is that a handkerchief?
Where did it come from?
Ah!
Oh, dear.
Is she injured?
Gosh, Mary-Lou.
Are you all right?
Mary-Lou, are you going to be OK?
Are you all right?
Give her some space, girls, please.
It's my ankle.
[SHE SCREAMS IN PAIN]
Yes, I can see this is going to
be black and blue in the morning.
Oh, it's nothing arnica and rest won't fix.
GML.
Mm.
Oh.
Come along.
I'm sorry, it just escaped.
I'm so sorry, Mary-Lou.
Really, you didn't do it on purpose?
[MARY-LOU WINCES]
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
Two minutes for injury.
Looks like you'll be playing
after all, Gwendoline.
Enjoy yourself, Gwendoline.
You are part of a team, remember?
You'll see Gwendoline play.
Come on, Gwen, you can do it.
Come on, Gwendoline.
I know you have it in you.
She's a determined young woman, your daughter.
She'll do her best, I'm sure.
Mmm.
Play!
Here, I'm free!
On the wing!
Oh.
Push yourself, Gwen!
Pass, pass!
Quickly!
Watch out!
Come on!
Pass, pass!
Come on, Darrell, over here!
All right, pass!
Ooh, sorry, Daddy.
Steady.
Right, we're tied.
Darrell, over here!
Come on, Gwen!
Darrell's going to score.
Come on, Darrell!
Ah!
[CROWD GROAN]
Gwen's tripped her!
By accident.
Still, she's lost it for us!
Go, Gwen, go.
Go, Gwen, carry on, you can do it.
Go, Gwen!
Come on, Gwen.
You can do it, Gwen!
You can do it, Gwendoline!
Oh, Gwen, you did it!
Woohoo!
Oh, yes!
Yes! Yes!
Gwendoline scored!
Oh.
Yes!
That's my daughter!
Malory Towers wins the match!
Well done, girls.
And Gwendolyn, I think that deserves
woman of the match.
Daddy, Daddy, did you hear?
I'm woman of the match.
If I haven't seen it with my own eyes.
Well done.
Well played, Darrell.
I'm pleased, we won but
Mrs. Beck didn't even notice me at all.
I didn't shine.
Well played, Gwendoline.
You showed real passion towards the end.
Well done, team.
I wouldn't have scored the winning
goal without all of you.
Well, let's get a picture
of the woman of the match
and her winning team.
Everyone huddle in.
Fantastic, here we go.
There we go.
Congratulations.
Oh, yes, what a win!
That was very kind of you,
making her woman of the match.
Gwendolyn responds well to encouragement.
She's a wonderful young woman--
a testament to you and Mrs. Lacey.
Thank you. But in all honesty,
she's not a natural sportswoman.
Not like the Rivers girl.
She was the real star player.
[MISS JOHNSON CHUCKLES]
Why are we in a potting shed?
You'll see.
Just remember,
I didn't have long to set it up
and you're the science whiz, not me.
Irene, for heaven's sakes.
All right.
I thought it was ghastly, Miss Johnson
confiscated your things when you
only did that trick to help Bill.
Irene it's fantastic.
Thanks.
You mean it?
I thought this way, you could make
a new crystal.
And plan some more pranks.
But, Miss Johnson.
We can't let her spoil our fun.
We just have to be more careful.
Come on.
[THEY LAUGH]
Can I help you, girls?
Your father must be proud now, Gwen.
Of course he is.
I won us to match, didn't I?
So how are we going to celebrate my victory?
What about a midnight feast?
I'll break the rules if you will.
We don't have food for a feast
and we have a test tomorrow.
Matron's coming, she's got news.
It's about the county scout.
What about her?
Matron told us that
the that the county scout
told her that she was really impressed.
Yeah.
Well, I expect she was.
Congratulations, Darrell.
Mrs. Beck, the county scout, said
you are an excellent team player.
She would like you to try out for
the county team.
I I can't believe it.
I'm going to trial.
I told you, you're a wizard centre.
[THEY LAUGH]
Hooray!
And let's not forget the woman of the match.
Oh, come, Gwen.
Come, Gwen.
Three cheers for Darrell and Gwen.
Hip, hip Hooray!
Oh, whoa!
[THEY LAUGH]
Ow, ow, ow!
[THEY LAUGH]
