... with Colin!

I must go.

I must go! Immediately!

I must go tonight. Prepare my bill. Understand?

His Lordship's just arrived!

His Lordship?

Where? Where is he?

Outside.

Get me out of this thing.

Will you get me out?

Get me out of it!

Oh, come on!

You're home, sir.

We weren't expecting you.

Here I am. Where's my son?

He's in his room, of course, Your Lordship.

Would you get back to the kitchen,

impudent girl!

Where's my son?

He's here, my lord.

He must be here.

What's happened?

It's that child, my lord.

She's created absolute havoc here.

I've tried to control her.

She must be sent away, my lord.

She'll kill Master Colin...

...for sure.

Take me to her room.

She has no regard for his fragile state

of health. She does what she pleases.

You lock her in?

I've had to, my lord.

That's how wild she is.

Mary?

Your uncle's here.

I beg your pardon, my lord.

Perhaps they're in the garden.

The garden?

How can they be?

It's quite impossible.

I've done my best, sir.

I really have.

But with that child defying me...

Silence, Medlock!

She's just a child.

I left you in charge.

I'll resign, sir.

I'll leave today.

Don't!

Oh, Martha, Martha...

Around and around and around we go,

and where we stop, nobody knows.

Catch me!

I'm here! Come get me!

I'm here!

Where are you?

Dickon?

I can't believe it.

You're here.

The magic worked.

Colin! The garden...

Let me show you.

Mary found the key,

she opened the door and went inside...

Hey, Mary!

No one wants me!

Mary!

This is where the robin has his nest.

See the babies?

They'll be flying soon.

This is where I walked first.

I was like a baby myself.

Mary! Mary!

Why are you here by yourself?

It wasn't wanted.

What wasn't wanted?

The garden.

You're right.

I never wanted to see it again.

You never wanted to see Colin.

You brought us back to life, Mary.

You did something

I thought no one could do.

Don't be afraid.

I won't shut it up again.

Believe me.

Thank you.

Should we call Colin?

Martha! Martha!

What's happening?

Did you see them?

Oh, look!

Master Colin.

Master Colin.

He's walking.

The spell was broken.

My uncle learned to laugh,

and I learned to cry.

The secret garden is always open now.

Open...

... and awake and alive.

If you look the right way...

... you can see

that the whole world is a garden.
