What's going on?
It's a surprise.
- What are you doing here?
- We brought you something.
Princess Sara, we present you with
something we rescued.
In a dangerous adventure.
- Our very own crusade.
- Risking all our lives.
And mine too.
I don't know what to say.
You are the best friends
anyone could ever ask for.
It's all right.
It's just my little monkey friend,
Hanuman.
Where did he come from?
Right next door. Look.
Can you really talk to him, Sara?
Hanuman, say hello to all my friends.
After Rama came back to life...
...he raced towards the monster's
palace to rescue Sita.
Suddenly...
...Ravana appeared!
the rest for later.
What's going on here?
It's not their fault.
I asked them to come.
You five go downstairs.
I'll deal with you later.
Becky...
...you'll remain locked in your room
tomorrow without meals.
Go!
And you will perform her chores
in addition to your own...
...without breakfast, lunch or dinner.
It's time you learned...
...that real life has nothing to do
with your fantasy games.
It's a cruel,
nasty world out there...
...and it's our duty
to make the best of it.
Not to indulge in ridiculous dreams,
but to be productive and useful.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Yes, ma'am.
Good.
But I don't believe in it.
Don't tell me you still
fancy yourself a princess.
Good God, child, look around you!
Or better yet, look in the mirror.
I am a princess.
All girls are.
Even if they live
in tiny old attics.
Even if they dress in rags.
Even if they aren't pretty
or smart or young.
They're still princesses.
All of us.
Didn't your father ever tell you that?
Didn't he?
If I find you up here
with the girls again...
...I'll throw you out
into the street!
What're we going to do?
A whole day with nothing to eat.
Don't cry, Becky.
I'm scared.
I've got no place to go.
That's not true.
I'm here with you. I've always
thought of us as sisters.
You have?
Let's make a promise
to always look out for each other.
It's a promise.
Now, what are we going to do
about food?
Starve, I guess.
No, there's only one thing to do.
We'll eat a great feast
before we go to sleep...
...and that will
keep us full tomorrow.
Feast? What feast?
Just look around.
See that table there?
It's covered with a beautiful cloth...
...and candles...
...and trays
of good things to eat.
Come on, Becky.
Tell me what kind of food there is.
But I don't see any food.
Try, Becky.
Just make-believe it.
Remember what you told me?
About the magic?
- Muffins?
- Good! What kind?
All kinds.
Every kind of muffin God ever made,
and all of them hot.
Good!
But we're not dressed right
for such an elegant banquet.
I'm wearing a long velvet cape
with fur on the collar.
And you?
Well,
I always liked diamonds myself.
Rings and bracelets,
and a whole dress covered with them.
Smell those sausages!
I love sausages.
Oh, my Lord!
I think you went
a little too far this time.
It wasn't me.
Go ahead.
I feel like I've been
touched by an angel.
Look!
Just what we ordered.
I'm a little scared about this.
Me too.
Do you think we shouldn't eat it?
I'm not that scared.
Thank you for your kindness.
I'm sorry to inconvenience you.
It is nothing, sahib.
That word...
It sounds so familiar...
...yet I don't know what it means.
It is not English.
We use it where I am from.
In India.
India...
You know it?
No.
Everything's just a blur.
Maybe someday I'll sort it out.
You will, sahib.
You will.
Yoo-hoo?
One minute.
Oh, my God.
Where is it?
Where's the locket?
Give it to me!
What is all this?
Where'd it come from?
I don't know.
I just woke up and it was here.
You stole it,
like you stole this locket!
You're nothing but a dirty
little thief.
It's my responsibility to protect
the children from animals like you.
You'll be leaving
with the police very shortly!
No, Miss Minchin!
I didn't do it.
Miss Minchin, please!
Miss Minchin, I didn't do it!
You heard me.
I want her picked up immediately!
You've removed the bandages.
There wasn't much point.
I can see all right.
Come on in, have a brandy.
Don't worry.
I'm sure they'll believe you.
I have to get out.
But how? My room's locked too.
The police, they're here!
Let's go, boys.
Step lively now.
Quick, help me with this board!
- Right this way.
- Yes, madam.
You'll fall!
I can do it.
I'll come back for you.
I promise.
What is she doing?
Get back in here!
- The little beast is running away!
- We're trying, miss.
Good God!
Don't just stand there!
Go and find her!
Take this one while you're at it.
I heard you calling
in your sleep last night.
Sometimes when I dream,
I sense a part of me that's missing.
It's strange, having your heart
remember what your mind can't.
She jumped like a little animal.
Who's that at this hour?
Let us in, man.
A child from the school
is in your house.
What's going on?
I'm sorry, but there's a child
hiding in your house.
- What?
- Search upstairs.
Oh, not now!
Ram Dass, get some candles!
- Start with the attic.
- Let's go.
Quickly!
Who's there?
Make sure you check the closets
and under the beds!
What is it?
Why are you crying?
Please tell me.
I won't hurt you.
Won't you tell me your name?
That's such a pretty name.
Papa.
Papa.
What did you say?
- I'm sorry.
- Papa, it's me, Sara.
Do you know me?
Don't you remember me?
Please...
...you've got to know me.
It's Sara. Remember?
Remember India and Maya?
Remember the Ramayana...
...and Emily?
The locket with Mama's picture?
Oh, Papa, please!
Papa, please!
Do you know this man?
Tell them!
This child has no father.
Take her away!
Papa!
I'm so sorry.
Sara!
Papa, don't ever leave me!
- I missed you.
- I love you.
Well, well, well.
I hardly recognized you.
I'm glad you straightened
everything out.
They released all my property.
I came to say goodbye...
...and to thank you
for everything you've done for us.
No more than you tried to do for my son.
- Take care, Mr. Randolph.
- And you too.
You must be glad
to be going home.
Thank you.
I have a surprise for you all.
Whenever you think of me, tell Emily,
and she'll get the message to me.
And when you hug her, you'll really
be getting a hug from me.
Then we'll hug her every day.
That's the first time
anyone's hugged Lavinia.
Bye, Becky.
Come on.
Yeah, I'm coming, I'm coming.
Get over here.
I've been looking for you, Minchin.
- Pick up the bucket.
- When do I get my break?
Follow me!
What do you put in here, rocks?
Bye, Ram Dass!
- Bye, Hanuman!
- Cheerio!
