The Tearpot Rocket's Island

-We know what's caused the fire, Brandon.

-It's simple.

Either Brandon goes or I do everything in my power

to stop you taking in any more children at The Knot.

I'm going to get the blame whether I did it or not. I'm going.

David started the fire.

PHONE VIBRATES

Brandon!

Brandon!

Wendy?

I'm so glad you've come.

You won't regret this.

I'm not here socially, Gerald.

I've come because of Daniel.

There's something he needs to tell you.

-They're on the ferry.

-Well, they should get off then.

Kim's going to come back over on Saturday and talk things through.

But she thinks that Brandon is better off on the mainland for now.

-And so do I.

-Why?

You saw everyone in the village, nobody wants him here.

Look, they'll be different now when they know they were wrong.

Well, it's too late.

PHONE RINGS

Hello.

Yes, she is.

Jade, it's your dad...

Come on, Archie wants you to speak to him.

And so did Brandon.

Come on.

If you talk to him, then I will too.

Jade!

He can't just say his first words in years, then shut up again!

If he'd said what he saw straightaway,

Brandon would never have left!

This...

This isn't the place for Brandon.

I'm not sure it's the place for any of us any more.

Al?

-Sorry, I didn't...

-You don't have to go.

You all right?

I don't want to go to school tomorrow.

You don't have to.

You're excluded.

If you're about to tell them that it was me, don't bother...

Rocket couldn't get to him in time.

Brandon's gone, Dibber, and it's all your fault.

Hate crying.

Me too.

But when you do,

you have to remember you're not crying alone.

There's always someone, somewhere...

..feeling exactly the same as you...

Yeah. Brandon.

According to The Book Of Dirgelmor,

tears are the most powerful thing in the world.

You should never waste a single one.

In ancient times, they used to mix them up in a Tearpot

and they believed they could solve any problem.

Because of Sparko and you,

and all the others,

my mum doesn't think Brandon should come back.

She thinks you don't want him here and you don't want us.

Well, of course we do.

These were a mistake.

We know it was Daniel now and he's in very serious trouble.

Well, then show her she's wrong!

Show her that this is the right place for all of us.

-What are you doing?

-I thought we were friends again?

That's not what friends do. You're with Madison now.

Yeah, but I'd rather be with you.

Alli!

They want you to be the Daughter of Dirgelmor.

You've got to be kidding.

Oh, get lost, Tyler, like for ever.

You dress up and go on this massive float,

you come out of this big clam, you say the island blessing

and lead everyone in the Dirgel Dance.

And why would I possibly want to do that?

Because when you appear,

Mum will see what we really mean to people round here

and then she'll see this is the best place for Brandon.

Bethany Summer was going to be the Daughter of Dirgelmor

but Officer Beddoe says he'll try and convince the committee

-that it could be you instead.

-I am not Bethany Summer, Rocket.

Look, there's no way that

I'm going to show myself up in front of everyone.

You don't have to. Look, no-one from school will be there.

Not happening!

KNOCK AT DOOR

Shouldn't they be butterflies by now?

Does that mean they never will?

I recorded something on here for you.

Why don't you have a listen?

DOORBELL RINGS

Why, hello there!

-You selling something?

-Only myself.

This may only be leather-look

but it's the finest polyvinyl chloride

a small amount of money can buy.

And I got it all for you.

Well, now that you're back on the market,

I would like you to consider me as your next Tyler McCray.

Are you out of your mind?

Firstly, me and Tyler haven't even split up.

Secondly...

Then why was he was all over Alli Boulsworth near the beach?

Madison? Is it the hair?

I can always change it back!

Hey, you two, we need a word...

Sarah, we should just wait.

When Kim comes over at the weekend, we're...

We're going to tell her that we're giving up

and we're moving back to the mainland.

No, we can't!

Jade and Archie can come too.

But there won't be anyone else after that.

Brandon's...

Brandon is better off where he is.

We have to accept this.

The islanders don't like what we do.

That's not true.

And how did you work that out?

I'm going to be the Daughter of Dirgelmor.

RECORDING OF JADE: 'Archie?

'This is Jade from the next room.

'If you could speak to us through the baby monitor,

'I thought you might be able to record yourself speaking on this.

'Go on, Archie, show us what you can do.'

Tyler!

I know about you and Alli.

Wasn't me, it was her!

I was being nice cos she was upset, and the next thing I know

she's trying to snog my face off and I'm like, "I don't think so..."

And then what?

Her brother came and said they want her to be the Daughter of Dirgelmor.

She's just made the biggest mistake of her life.

Did you mean what you said last night?

About wanting to be the new Tyler?

If you're interested, yeah.

If he's about to hit me, no.

I mean, why her?

Does she know the Dirgel Dance?

Can Alli Boulsworth even play the recorder?

Look, I feel the same way about him as you.

But he is your best friend.

I can't forgive Dibber until Brandon does.

Ballabungie Parade tomorrow.

Alli Boulsworth is going to be the Daughter of Dirgelmor,

if you fancy a laugh, don't miss it!

It's bright!

Yeah, it is bright.

And there's no way you'd get run over in it.

So it's not just bright - safe!

KNOCK ON DOOR

You CANNOT wear that in public!

What are you doing in here?

It'll be all right.

Everybody from school's going!

Jonathan Healey's been handing out these flyers,

he's telling everybody it's going to be hilarious.

Like a wedding dress, eh? Secret until the day.

Al, we're going to be very proud of you.

No, they're not!

When you step out of that clam wearing that dress

everybody's going to start laughing.

There's no way your mum's going to want to stay here then.

No-one will laugh, I won't let them.

You'll go down a storm, Alli, I swear.

Just be on that float

and me and Jade will take care of everything else.

HE CROAKS

"If you want to see Alli Boulsworth in a bad dress

"on a stupid float, don't miss it."

Healey!

I'm just doing a favour for my girlfriend-to-be.

And who's that?

Madison Creetch.

Are you crazy? She doesn't like you.

She's obviously just pretending so you'll do all this for her.

You need to take down all the posters you've put up.

My mum needs to see how much we mean to the people round here

but she's about to see the opposite.

Yeah, Boulsworth, we might have a problem.

I mean, the posters and the leaflets are one thing,

but then there is the website.

And all the e-mails. And all the associated social media...

All I wanted to do was make things better,

but all I've really done was make them a million times worse.

How are we going to fix this?

There is one way

but we're going to need a Tearpot.

First, you have to catch a thousand tears.

How do you even catch a tear?

A teaspoon.

You put the tears in jam jars

and when they've evaporated you mix up all the dust in a Tearpot,

take off the lid, whistle down the spout, and "vadoom!"

What?

No more tears. A disaster becomes a triumph.

How? What actually happens?

Not a clue. Never done it.

I've usually cheered up within 100.

You go off to sort things and you come back with a teapot?

It's a Tearpot.

Legend says it's supposed to solve any problem.

Not this one.

Archie was looking for you. Wanted me to give you this.

Sometimes, Rocket, you just have to admit defeat.

Maybe there's nothing here for us anyway.

RECORDING OF ARCHIE: 'Hello.'

'This is Archie Beckles. From the room next door.'

'I know you all want to hear me speak, but...'

'I think there's someone else who needs to speak to you more.'

-DIBBER:

-'I'm sorry.

'I've messed everything up.

'All I wanted was my best mate back.

'But the weird thing is, since yesterday,

'it's not just you I've missed, Rocket,

'it's all of you.

'I don't want to end The Knot, I want to be part of it again!'

Well, he can't be cos there isn't going to be one.

Yes, there is!

Alli's right, Jade. It's not going to work.

We're not going to get a thousand tears.

We might not even get any tears at all.

Don't do the parade tomorrow, it'll just make things worse.

We can't give up!

Brandon's not coming back, Jade,

because there's not going to be anywhere to come back to.

We're used to kids packing up their things and moving on but

this time it's just going to be me and Alli doing that too.

CHALK ON CHALKBOARD

Did they listen to it?

How did it go?

My mum.

Me.

One from me and one from Bethany.

When she started talking about

Alli being the Daughter of Dirgelmor instead of her,

I nearly had to ring for extra jars.

Soz for the delay!

They were waiting for us to bring something over but we're here now,

so go on, go get the engine started. Alli will be with you in a minute.

-BOTH:

-Jade!

Look!

I don't know if I held a fairy in my hand,

or if Archie really is that long, lost boy

who's waited for ever to be found.

But don't you remember what the Oldest Man said about the Wolf Tree?

You have to believe in it.

That's the most important thing.

So let's try.

Where are you going?

To get my dress on.

I thought we were mates.

A mate wouldn't move in on my boyfriend.

Is that what he said? And you actually believed him?

Why wouldn't she?

Because it's YOU, Tyler.

Because you can't stand other people being happy.

-Eh?

-You want everyone to follow you and do what you say.

Well, I'm not going to. Not any more.

Testing, one, two.

Do you think there's a thousand?

Well, we have got one more jar.

This is mine and Alli's.

Not too bad, eh?

Best turn out we've ever had too.

Now has anyone ever taught you the Dirgel Dance?

BAND MEMBER BANGS DRUM

BRASS BAND STARTS UP

Well done!

Ladies and gentleman,

the Daughter of Dirgelmor is on her way!

Quick!

KNOCKING ON DOOR

< I'm sorry.

I know.

I'm not here cos I'm angry.

I just want you to come with me.

APPLAUSE

Are you ready?

Here she comes!

We tried, didn't we?

Guess it's just time we grew up.

ROLL OF THUNDER

It's going to pour it down!

This is it, isn't it?

This is what the Tearpot does.

Don't you get it? The sky is crying!

PEOPLE YELL

May the waves spare you and your fishing be fine

and the whole Dirgel year spent in sweet sunshine!

Lucas!

Look!

I brought someone with me.

If this island didn't give out second chances,

you wouldn't have let me off the ferry in the first place.

You need to give Dibber one too.

Go on.

CHEERING

-MOUTHS:

-I'm so sorry.

I bet I'm the only person around here who actually knows

how to do the Dirgel Dance.

MUSIC STARTS TO PLAY

Yes, Dibber!

Everyone, join in.

Come on, then.

How old are you, then? Really?

996!

-If I'm doing this, so are you!

-As you wish, Gwendolyn, as you wish.

That's it, Mum!

You see?

I told you you'd go down a storm.

-Here we go.

-I'll get the kettle on.

-Thank you.

-There we go.

-Quick, quick, quick!

There you go, love.

Is...is that room still free?

It's not THAT room. It's YOUR room. And it always will be.

You'd better unpack then. Here we go, love.

Meryl! How did you get in here?

PHONE RINGS

Hi, Dad. It's me.

Butterflies.

In my room.

Butterflies!
