Princess

1 No matter what you're doin' No matter what you're playin' It's no matter what you're sayin' 'Cause we're doing it all the same No matter where you are Where you're coming from Put your hand on your heart Don't wait Yeah you know that I, we, me, us We're doing it all the same No matter where you are Where you're coming from Put your hand on your heart Don't wait Yeah you know that I, we, me, us We're doing it all the same [VOCALIZING.]
Hey.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey! Oh.
- Oh, you look terrible.
- [COUGHS.]
- Thanks.
- [LAUGHS.]
[COUGHS.]
Are you okay? Well, someone's definitely taken the herd, but - I'm on the case.
- I meant about tryouts.
Tryouts? Uh no, that that's, like, the last thing on my mind.
[ZOE.]
Um, shouldn't we get him inside? It's a little cold out here.
Well, it's a bit damp in there, sadly.
It's fine, Dad.
I like being outside.
And, um, I'm gonna go with Zoe, - help her look for the herd.
[COUGHS.]
- [ZOE.]
No, no.
You're going to rest up until the doctors figure out what's wrong.
I'll find those horses.
The tags were dumped at tryouts, so it could be someone at the grounds.
I still say we should be searching the castle.
What's the castle got to do with anything? The prophecy says, if the horses leave the island, the kingdom will fall.
Duh! Becky, Ariel is missing, Scout is pining, this really is not the time for myths and legends.
Okay, maybe we should just tell the police.
[ZOE.]
No! Anyone could be involved.
We could tell the mayor.
She might be able to help.
[BECKY.]
That's weird.
What? She's usually far too busy to drop her daughter off herself.
The mayor! [JADE.]
Zoe, are you sure about this? [MAYOR.]
Don't worry, I'll get your bag.
[HEATHER.]
It's not heavy or anything.
Did you guys see that? She's hiding something in there.
- Guys - The mayor was at the ground yesterday.
But she was late.
Mayor Wright promised to protect the ponies.
- I just don't think - Heather says that she lies.
[SIGHS.]
Heather's the one that let Ariel out.
What if she did it on purpose? What if she did it for her mom? I'm going in.
Becky! Claire, darling, hi! Miss Sidebottom.
I run the Breakfast Club here at Bright Fields.
I would love a conflab with you about your amazing daughter's progress.
Well, actually, I'm in a bit of a rush.
It won't take long.
Just a little peek.
Horse feed! The mayor's wanted the wild herd off the island, now she's done it.
Don't go over there.
She'll deny it and people will believe her.
We won't be any closer to finding Ariel.
Look, I know the feeling, you want justice and to take people down.
But if I learned anything, we have to do this the right way.
Exactly.
Tell the police.
No.
We need evidence.
Then we'll get her.
I promise.
[BECKY.]
Bye, mayor! Wait, what do you mean, "We'll get her"? Bye, darling.
Bye.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
[FIREFLY SNORTS.]
- Back on track? - Yeah.
All we have to do now is ride through the ribbon at my dad's hotel opening.
- No biggie.
- [SUSIE LAUGHS.]
You could probably do with some extra training.
A little one-to-one session, perhaps? Susie, what are you getting at? Right, that's all sorted.
Susie, - we are down for a riding lesson.
- [SIGHS.]
Marcus, I am so sorry, but something's come up.
- Oh.
- But Mia was saying that she'd love to take my place.
[LAUGHING.]
I You're not working? Everyone's got the day off while the mayor works on a private project.
Well, yes, but you never know when she might call, or It's a lovely day.
Why don't we go for a hack? Almost like a date.
Right, yeah.
A date! [LAUGHS.]
Did you hear that? The mayor's planning a private project today.
That's evidence.
I'm just gonna ask her straight, "What have you done with Ariel?" Actually wait here.
[ALL WHISPERING.]
Jade! [CHUCKLES.]
Quick! [LAUGHING.]
Mia's office keys.
If you want evidence, go in by the front door.
Jade, you absolute rebel! Hey.
You're amazing for taking the blame for Ariel.
But it's my fault, so I'm gonna tell the truth.
What? You'll get sent to boarding school.
I can handle it.
No, it's fine.
Honestly.
- [SIGHS.]
- Are you okay? Yeah, just can't believe she's actually forgotten.
Forgotten what? Nothing.
I'll get Scout some more water.
[BECKY.]
I'm on a mission today, Winnie, which means you are in charge of the folder.
[GASPS.]
I think I'm going to faint.
Aaron's worried about Scout and Heather feels bad about letting Ariel out.
You need to distract them with fun stuff.
Fun stuff.
Got it.
[LAUGHS.]
Any problems, find Susie.
Guard it well.
I will.
I will guard it with my life.
[BOB NEIGHS.]
Bob! [BOB SNORTS.]
Hang on Are you coming? N-no.
Looks like I'm needed here after all.
[PHONE RINGS.]
[PHONE RINGS, BEEPS.]
So what did your mum say about tryouts? I don't know.
I haven't told her yet.
You talk to your mum about everything.
Well, there's too much going on.
Zoe, I still feel awful about taking your plan.
I'm over it.
No, really.
[LAUGHS.]
Let's just focus on finding the horses, okay? Okay.
Where's Becky? Urgent Breakfast Club business.
She's on the phone if we need her.
Okay, well, let's go kick some mayor butt.
[LAUGHS.]
It's the last packet of soup.
I'll get to the shop later.
Good morning, sir.
Ooh! Just brought over a few essentials for the patient.
Honey and lemon, ginger biscuits, and organic vegetable soup.
Thank you, Arthur.
Yes, we're fine.
You can go now.
What on earth are you doing out of bed, sir? Just getting some air.
Catching a chill, more like.
You know, you really ought to be tucked in in the castle.
It's warm there.
And you'd be waited on hand and foot.
I'm fine here.
Thanks.
And what about your father? Shouldn't he be at work, instead of running round after you? You are a duke, sir.
It's time you were treated like one.
Guys? Okay! I get it.
You don't want to hang out with me either.
Guess I'll just go home.
Guys, what's going on? If you didn't want to hang around with me, you could've just said [BOTH.]
Surprise! Why didn't you tell us it was your birthday? I don't know what to say.
- There's a first time for everything.
- [GIGGLES.]
Wait Mia said the mayor gave everybody the day off, right? Right.
But we should still be careful.
Jade, girl, I'm always careful! [KEYS RATTLE.]
I can't believe we're breaking into an official building.
It's not breaking in if we got the keys.
- Thanks to you, Jade.
- I'm such an idiot.
[GASPS.]
[SNORING.]
You don't need security unless you're hiding something.
Let's do this.
- [COUGHS.]
- [GASPS.]
[GASPS.]
[GABY SCOFFS.]
[GABY.]
Serious mayor, victory mayor.
Horse-stealing mayor.
Come on, let's look for clues.
[ZOE.]
We need something that links the mayor to the wild horses.
Guys, it's a laptop.
Brilliant! Okay, we need to get a move on.
[ZOE.]
Now all we need is a password.
[TYPING.]
[BEEP.]
[BECKY.]
Warmer, warmer warmer.
[PHONE RINGS.]
- Whoa.
- Stop, stop, no, no, no.
Hey, Heather.
D'you mind going to get us some more juice from the tack room? Sure.
[PHONE RINGS.]
What is it? We can't do this without your help.
Standard.
We need to get into the mayor's emails, but we used up two of three attempts.
Can you ask Heather for her mum's password? [JADE.]
It's a four-digit code.
I can't do that to her.
It's her birthday today.
She's only just started enjoying herself.
It's her birthday today? What do you think? It's worth a shot.
Here.
Okay.
[TYPING.]
[CLICK.]
Did it work? We're in! - Couldn't find any juice.
- [AARON.]
Hey, Heather! Your mom totally does remember your birthday.
- It's the password to her - [COUGHS.]
emails.
Why do you care about my mum's emails? Lovely riding, Mia.
- Looks like you don't need my help.
- I don't.
No, I mean, uh, it's just well, you need me more than I need you, right? For training? Um, how's Monty? He's fine.
I thought he had ringworm last week.
But he's fine.
[MIA.]
Great.
Shall we go again? [SIGHS.]
Yeah, if we must.
Well, I'm only doing this for you, Mia.
There's plenty of other people I could train with this morning.
Right.
Because training's all that matters, isn't it? Look, I'm sorry that you're disappointed about tryouts.
No, Marcus it's not tryouts.
Well, then what? It's just Look, I my phone, I've lost my phone.
Okay.
I told the mayor I'd be on standby all day.
Don't worry, we'll find it.
It's got to be around here somewhere, right? [CLICK.]
[ZOE.]
Tryout results.
Gaby made the reserve.
Huh? What was that? Oh, um Oh, wait.
I found something.
[SIGHS.]
There's an invoice for horse feed, massive amounts.
All delivered to the same address.
Must be her house.
Get the address.
- [RUSTLING PAPERS.]
- [LOUD THUD.]
[GASPS.]
- [GEOFF.]
Who's there? - Zoe! He's awake! Hide! Hide! Hide! [FRANTIC WHISPERING.]
[RATTLES DOOR.]
Gotcha! You playing tricks on me? Claire Bear! I just want to say I think you're amazing.
And I love a woman in a cape.
[CHUCKLES.]
Maybe I could take you to dinner.
[GEOFF CHUCKLES.]
[PHONE RINGS LOUDLY.]
[MALE VOICE.]
You're through to the mayor's office.
There's nobody here to take your call, but if you'd like to leave your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
Thanks for calling.
[KEYS RATTLING.]
I can't believe this.
Whoa, guys! Slow down! We ride horses, not bikes! Sorry, Susie! Urgent Pony Squad-Breakfast Club Mission! - Watch Scout! - Sure, but where are you going? We think the mayor's hiding the wild horses at her house! [SIGHS.]
We have to find it.
I'm sure the mayor will understand if you miss one call.
No, it's not just the mayor, I had so many photos saved on that phone.
You know going back three summers, back when we when we, uh You know, when we were kids.
I think about those times a lot.
So much has changed since then.
- It's, uh - We needed to change.
Some things have stayed the same.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Found it.
[PHONE RINGS.]
[RINGS.]
Susie.
This better be important.
We need to go, now.
[PIN COUGHING.]
Listen.
Are you sure about this.
Yeah.
You shouldn't have to look after me.
It's fine.
It's not fair.
Anyway, I have a castle.
I might as well use it.
He just needs a good night's sleep.
I'm going back to Bright Fields to check on it, and then I'll be back to collect him, okay? Don't you worry, I'll take very good care of him.
[SIGHS.]
[JADE.]
There it is! The mayor's house.
[ZOE.]
Good boy.
Yes, police? Yeah, we're at Sea View.
Send someone now.
We've got the wild ponies.
She's got them in that garage.
I know it.
Heather, get back! Is it true? Did my mum actually do this? [SIGHS.]
I'm sorry.
We're waiting for the police, and then we'll know for sure.
Police? [SIGHS.]
I need to speak to my mother.
Heather! Don't! She let Ariel out.
We can't trust her.
- Sweetheart, what are you doing here? - Mum.
What's going on? Just getting some shopping in.
[ZOE.]
You know, you had us fooled thinking you were supporting the wild ponies.
Yeah, well, the game's up, lady.
Please, just tell me.
[SIGHS.]
Darling, there's nothing to tell.
Heather's either a great actress or she didn't know what her mum was up to.
Heather let Ariel out.
She must have known.
It was me.
What? I let Ariel out.
It wasn't Heather.
She covered for me 'cause she thought I'd get sent away.
[SIGHS.]
[HORSE NEIGHS.]
She's in the garage.
That didn't sound like Ariel.
Zoe! Wait, you don't understand Zoe, this really doesn't feel right! The horses have to be in there.
No, they have to.
[GARAGE DOOR OPENS.]
[MAYOR.]
Happy birthday, darling.
Oh, my days! You didn't think I'd forgotten, did you? [DISTANT POLICE SIRENS.]
[MAYOR.]
Don't worry, we've only just put her here.
[POLICE SIRENS APPROACHING.]
[JADE.]
What happened, Zoe? Well, if I don't stop searching, I'll get an official caution.
- If Ariel's not here, where is she? - I don't know.
I I don't know anything.
I just need to talk to Pin.
Gaby congratulations.
You made the reserve for the under-18s.
What? Zoe, I had no idea.
This isn't over.
We can still make it to the castle in no time.
- Wait, where are you going? - To the moors, to find Ariel.
- I'll search all night if I have to.
- But Gaby Zoe's been warned off investigating, but we haven't.
Anyway, what do we have to lose? Hope? Freedom? Possibly our lives.
- Everything points to the castle.
- Becky! Hm! - Well, that was awkward.
- [SCOFFS.]
Typical Zoe.
Will she ever learn? So how was training? - Fine, thank you.
- Did you tell him how you feel? As if.
Look there's so much history between us.
I'd ruin it.
Hm, well, I suppose you'll never know.
[TED.]
So, what, you've taken a shine to her, have you? Well, she's beautiful.
[MARCUS.]
But so highly-strung.
Yeah, wants things her way the whole time.
- [MARCUS.]
Definitely a total princess.
- [TED LAUGHS.]
If he thinks I'm a princess, I'll give him a princess.
Wait, what? The mayor wants her stabled at Bright Fields.
Doesn't want the hassle of cleaning her own barn, I suppose.
Well, I think the princess will be very happy here.
I can't believe you bought me a pony.
Oh, you're a different girl since finding Bright Fields.
And I haven't been there to enjoy it.
You've been working hard, that's all.
Now you're the mayor.
It's so cool.
Do you think? Definitely.
I guess.
What? I just wish we talked a bit more.
I'd like that, too.
We're a team.
You, me and Princess.
[PRINCESS GRUNTS.]
We didn't find her today, buddy.
But she's out there, and we'll bring her home.
[AARON.]
Gaby's on the moors right now, looking for your mom.
Pin! Pin, are you there? Oh! Today was a total mess.
I thought saving Ariel would make me feel better about tryouts, but I failed at that, too.
Pin! [SIGHS.]
[SIGHS.]
Hi, Mom? I'm breaking in for a second time today.
Basically a master criminal.
Sh! [BECKY.]
Just a spooky dude mixing a potion.
Absolutely nothing to see here.
[JADE GASPS.]
[ARTHUR MURMURS.]
[ARTHUR HUMMING.]
He was well shifty when we saw him in here before.
He has to be hiding something.
[DOOR CREAKS.]
This must be his room.
Maybe we can see the herd from here.
[JADE.]
Becky, look at this.
Jade, you look at this.
That's a horse's skull.
Everything points to the castle.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING.]
Ugh.
What is that? Another special remedy of mine, sir.
[COUGHS.]
All natural, of course.
No, no, no drink it, sir.
We'll soon have you better.
All of it.
That's it.
