0:00:49 > 0:00:52You realise you've got a severe moss problem...

0:00:52 > 0:00:54in the grass?

0:00:54 > 0:00:55If you don't get it under control soon

0:00:55 > 0:00:57you're going to have to weed out the lot.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59I bet it's just as bad round the back.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01We could take a look for you?

0:01:03 > 0:01:05I'll call you back.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08You'll ruin my carpets.

0:01:23 > 0:01:24Alex?

0:01:26 > 0:01:27We got the job, by the way.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Why'd you run off like that?

0:01:37 > 0:01:38I think I've found her.

0:01:40 > 0:01:41Your woman?

0:01:43 > 0:01:44I think I've found my mum.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Hold on, let's just back up a little bit.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06When's the last time that you saw her?

0:02:08 > 0:02:09About ten years ago.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14She left him at his dad's work.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15Outside my dad's work!

0:02:16 > 0:02:18On the street.

0:02:20 > 0:02:21When you were five?

0:02:23 > 0:02:24Nice woman, eh?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28What do I do now?

0:02:28 > 0:02:29Go and see her.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Do you think?

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Whoa, whoa! Hold on...

0:02:36 > 0:02:39How can you be sure that it's even her?

0:02:39 > 0:02:40After all this time...

0:02:41 > 0:02:44She might just look similar.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46To another Aileen?

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Why don't we take the job, do some digging?

0:03:07 > 0:03:08Let's do it.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24D'you want a shot?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Erm, no, thanks.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Er, what's up with all the popping stuff?

0:03:30 > 0:03:35- What, the piano? It's going. - What? Why?

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Mike stubbed his toe on it, said a lot of bad words,

0:03:38 > 0:03:41then decided it was in his way, so he's getting rid.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50You OK?

0:03:52 > 0:03:53We can come back another time.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56I need to know.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Hello, gardeners.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Meet me round the back.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Sorry, Taz, it's going - end of. - Because you stubbed a toe?

0:04:26 > 0:04:28That's your fault, not the piano's!

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Look, the place is already really cluttered and nobody ever plays it!

0:04:32 > 0:04:36- It's going somewhere it'll be used. - Well, I think we should keep it!

0:04:36 > 0:04:39- You haven't given me one good reason why.- Well, it...

0:04:39 > 0:04:41- It looks nice!- It's old!

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Well, you're old and we're not getting rid of you, are we?

0:04:44 > 0:04:47The piano goes!

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Please!

0:04:48 > 0:04:51The guy's picking it up today. I'm sorry.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52No!

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Just make sure the paperwork is ready to send to Dubai.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01If they try and fob you off again or lower the price,

0:05:01 > 0:05:03I'll deal with them personally.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Right. Bye.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10That sounded important.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Excuse me?- The phone call.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15What is it that you do?

0:05:15 > 0:05:19- So you have everything you need? - Yeah. Thanks.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20I'll be upstairs in my office,

0:05:20 > 0:05:23so just knock on the door again when you're done, please.

0:05:27 > 0:05:28Get in!

0:05:28 > 0:05:30No chance! I'm on you.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Taz, get out the way! - Taz, what are you doing?!

0:05:33 > 0:05:36- I need your help.- Taz, move!

0:05:36 > 0:05:38I'll-I'll make it worth your while.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Now, open!

0:05:45 > 0:05:49- Carrots?- Well, I had a pound left,

0:05:49 > 0:05:53and Big Tom from the market said that they were a really good deal.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02- You going to help or not?- How much you think this place is worth?

0:06:02 > 0:06:04She's going to get suspicious if she comes out here

0:06:04 > 0:06:06and we haven't done anything.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09I'd say half a mil, no problem.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Alex, work!

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- In a minute.- Where are you going?

0:06:15 > 0:06:18No, no, no, no! No! Alex, stop!

0:06:18 > 0:06:21What if she catches you? Alex, don't!

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Oh.

0:06:23 > 0:06:24Hi.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30- We were just wondering if we could have a glass of water, please.- Oh.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Sure, I can get it.- Thank you.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44I've got a sister.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48COULD have a sister.

0:07:08 > 0:07:09- Yes!- Aww!

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Jody wins again!

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Does someone want to tell me where the piano's gone?

0:07:17 > 0:07:19What piano?

0:07:19 > 0:07:20The piano that's been sitting in that hall

0:07:20 > 0:07:22since before most of you were born piano.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Oh, yeah, THAT piano.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Some guy came to collect it.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Mr Harris?- That's him.

0:07:31 > 0:07:37- He was supposed to call before he came.- He said he tried to.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40The phone, it was constantly engaged.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Sorry. I should've told you. - All right. OK.

0:07:43 > 0:07:44Good. Great.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50Huh?

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- I don't want a fist bump. - Show us the money!

0:08:02 > 0:08:03They can't stay here.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06But...

0:08:06 > 0:08:09I can find loads of uses with these carrots.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Like?

0:08:11 > 0:08:13There's loads of things you can do with carrots.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Just get them out my kitchen, Archie.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34What are you doing?

0:08:36 > 0:08:38You've got an amazing house.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42- I prefer my old one.- You moved?

0:08:42 > 0:08:45For Daddy's job.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49Mummy didn't want to, though. She doesn't like it here.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51So what does she do, your mum?

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Not really sure.

0:08:52 > 0:08:56But she won a prize, for her work.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58She got a trophy.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Can I see it?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02It's in the house. Come on.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10- WHISPERING:- This really isn't a good idea.- It's her, Charlie.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11I know it is.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Come on. We're roomies!

0:09:18 > 0:09:22Besties! Please don't tell Mike.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25I'm sorry, Taz, but honesty is the best policy.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Really? Since when?

0:09:28 > 0:09:29Wait, Floss.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Do you really think you can pay me off?

0:09:41 > 0:09:42Yeah.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Course you can!

0:09:49 > 0:09:51That was in Switzerland.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Can you ski?

0:09:53 > 0:09:55- No.- I love it.

0:09:58 > 0:09:59That was my last birthday.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03I got a pony.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23Hey.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26I should be in these photos.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27I should've been there.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Alice, darling!- Two secs, Mummy!

0:10:45 > 0:10:48She thanks her husband, her daughter...

0:10:48 > 0:10:50What about her son, eh?

0:10:50 > 0:10:52What about the son that she dumped?

0:10:53 > 0:10:56It's like she's completely airbrushed me out of her life!

0:11:01 > 0:11:03What are you doing?

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Guy for the piano, Mr Harris? - No refunds.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Not that he paid anything anyway.

0:11:19 > 0:11:20Sorry?

0:11:20 > 0:11:22He can't bring it back.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24He doesn't want to bring it back.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28He's coming to collect it, you know, in 30 minutes?

0:11:28 > 0:11:30No, he's already been...

0:11:35 > 0:11:36Tasmin!

0:11:40 > 0:11:41Alex, wait!

0:11:54 > 0:11:56My sister got everything!

0:11:56 > 0:12:00A nice house, big TV, holidays, and a mum and a dad,

0:12:00 > 0:12:02to take care of her, to love her.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05- She got a family, Finn!- Alex... - And what did I get?

0:12:07 > 0:12:11A life on the street, begging for food, trying to keep warm everyday.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13What did I do to deserve that?

0:12:13 > 0:12:15It says that she went from rags to riches.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17She was going through hard times and she turned her life around.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21- But she didn't come looking for me! - No, you don't know that.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24You should tell her who you are.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27What's the point?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30She couldn't care less.

0:12:30 > 0:12:31KNOCK ON DOOR

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Alex, there's some girl here to see you.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40Roll up, people from around the world!

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Oh, sir, I've got some carrots!

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Oh, please, sir, fat, juicy, succulent carrots!

0:12:47 > 0:12:51Would you like some? Roll up, everybody, people!

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Are you sure you don't want any carrots?

0:12:55 > 0:12:59I've told you! I don't want any stupid carrots!

0:13:01 > 0:13:03You shouldn't be here.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05Why did you steal Mummy's newspaper thing?

0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Come on.- This isn't good.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Nope.- Hey...

0:13:11 > 0:13:15Roll up! Roll up, people from around the world.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Please, sir, delicious, amazing carrots.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25Buy one, get one free. And that makes two!

0:13:26 > 0:13:28You need to keep out of sight.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30- Why?- It's a kids' home.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32We're not meant to have people round.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34What's a kids' home?

0:13:34 > 0:13:36It's where children stay who don't have mums and dads.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Look, I'm sorry for taking the cutting.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44I just wanted to show my mates...

0:13:44 > 0:13:46..that I was working for someone famous.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50- My mummy isn't famous.- She's in the papers. Of course she's famous.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54So why are you in a kids' home anyway?

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Did your mummy and daddy not want you?

0:13:59 > 0:14:00No.

0:14:02 > 0:14:03No, they didn't.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05That's not very nice.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Children should be with their parents.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Stay here.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16And don't let anybody see you.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Oh, madam, would you like one of your five a day?

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Have you had your five a day yet?

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Cos these are really tasty, I'm telling you now.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Right, I'll give you another 30 minutes,

0:14:29 > 0:14:31but I'll be watching from the office, OK?

0:14:35 > 0:14:36Oh.

0:14:38 > 0:14:39You've got no chance.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Come on then, Einstein, tell me,

0:14:43 > 0:14:46because I need to prove that these weren't a waste of money.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52Nobody likes carrots, Archie.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54But everybody likes ice cream.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00If I don't start getting some answers soon...

0:15:00 > 0:15:03Now, how could I move a piano?

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Look at the size of me.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06Well, that's a good point.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Would anybody like to confess to helping Taz?

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Fine.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Well, it's not just you who's lost TV privileges, Taz.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21- It's the whole house.- What?

0:15:21 > 0:15:24I've had nothing to do with it and I can't watch TV for a whole day?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26No. The whole week.

0:15:26 > 0:15:27Are you having a laugh?

0:15:31 > 0:15:32You need to tell him.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41Taz! Taz, what is so special about this piano, eh?

0:15:41 > 0:15:43DOOR SLAMS

0:15:46 > 0:15:48OK, eh, I'll be downstairs when you're ready.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53But we are going to deal with this, young lady.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08You need to get rid of Alice before Mike and May-Li find out.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10What did she say, Alex?

0:16:12 > 0:16:15I think the local newspaper will be interested in that, do you?

0:16:15 > 0:16:17How businesswoman of the year dumped her own kid on the street.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Alex.- Well, that's neglect, right?

0:16:20 > 0:16:23She'll probably get locked up for it. She could lose everything.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Then you destroy your sister's life as well.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Does she deserve that? She's a good mum now.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31She's not that person any more.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35I just can't let her get away with it, Charlie.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38I just can't.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Alice?

0:16:45 > 0:16:46Alice?

0:16:46 > 0:16:48I'm here.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52- I told you to stay put. - I made you this.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Where are they now, your mummy and daddy?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05PHONE RINGS

0:17:19 > 0:17:22- RINGING STOPS - She'll be wondering where you are.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Come on, I'll take you home.

0:17:29 > 0:17:30Are you sure about this?

0:17:30 > 0:17:35Yeah. Just like carrot cake.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Why aren't we making carrot cake, then?

0:17:37 > 0:17:41Carrot ice cream. Unique selling point.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45All right, then, taste time.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56- It's...- Erm...

0:17:56 > 0:17:58..disgusting!

0:17:58 > 0:17:59THEY SPIT

0:18:05 > 0:18:06What now?

0:18:10 > 0:18:11We'll wait till Christmas.

0:18:13 > 0:18:14Why?

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Cos at Christmas people build...

0:18:35 > 0:18:36Stupid idea, Archie.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39What state do you think the carrots would be in in five months?

0:18:40 > 0:18:42When in doubt...

0:18:45 > 0:18:46..bring in the science.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50So what's she like, your mum?

0:18:50 > 0:18:52She's the best mummy ever.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56She does work too hard.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Maybe that's just so she can buy you nice things.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00That's what she says.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03She just wants to make sure I have the kind of life she didn't.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05What does she mean by that?

0:19:05 > 0:19:06She used to be really poor.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Like your mummy.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12Truth or dare?

0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Sorry?- Truth or dare?

0:19:14 > 0:19:15Truth.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Do you fancy Charlie?- What?

0:19:19 > 0:19:21I saw the way you look at her.

0:19:21 > 0:19:22I change my mind. Dare.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24SHE GIGGLES You do.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26- I'm saying nothing.- OK. Dare.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Go knock on that door and run.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33No chance.

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Alice, wait.

0:19:40 > 0:19:41Alice.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Hurry up.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Oi, you! What are you up to?! Come back now!

0:19:51 > 0:19:53Come on!

0:19:53 > 0:19:55What did you do that for?

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:20:03 > 0:20:04What's going on?

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Carrot smoothie.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09We've juiced all the carrots to prove, once and for all,

0:20:09 > 0:20:13if they make you see in the dark. It's a scientific experiment.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17Which I'm going to write up and send into a journal.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19We're going to be superstars.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22If you drink all that in one go, you will never be off the toilet.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29I'll tell you what?

0:20:29 > 0:20:33Give a small glass of this to everyone and I...

0:20:33 > 0:20:35..I will give you your money back.

0:20:38 > 0:20:39But, Archie...

0:20:39 > 0:20:43I know. I won't spend it unless I absolutely need to.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56PIANO PLAYS IN DISTANCE

0:21:45 > 0:21:48I...didn't know you could play.

0:21:48 > 0:21:49I can't.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52Not really.

0:21:52 > 0:21:53It's one finger virtuoso.

0:21:56 > 0:21:57But you can.

0:22:00 > 0:22:01Can't you?

0:22:03 > 0:22:06My dad used to teach me.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18But...

0:22:18 > 0:22:23..when Mum went to heaven, he just stopped.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Stopped everything.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28He was just sad all the time.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Haven't played since.

0:22:35 > 0:22:36I'm really sorry.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Piano's already been sold.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43It's fine. I was just being stupid.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Why don't you play something?

0:22:48 > 0:22:51Before it goes.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54Cos I think when you have played it...

0:22:54 > 0:22:57..it might make you feel a bit better.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Hmm?

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Did you see the face on that guy?

0:23:04 > 0:23:06He nearly caught us.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10I've had fun today.

0:23:10 > 0:23:11Yeah, me too.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Thanks for bringing me home.

0:23:14 > 0:23:15You might not have found your way back.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Alice!

0:23:18 > 0:23:20I better go.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22See you later, Alex.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25Alice, where have you been?

0:23:25 > 0:23:27I just went for a walk.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29I was worried.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32You know, you're supposed to tell me if you're going out.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34I left a note for you.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36I didn't see it.

0:23:37 > 0:23:42Anyway, you're OK.

0:23:42 > 0:23:43That's all that matters.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48Come on. Let's get pizza for dinner, eh?

0:23:48 > 0:23:51- Double pepperoni. - With extra mushrooms.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54You're the only nine-year-old I know who likes mushrooms.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02You don't have to do this, Taz.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03I...

0:24:03 > 0:24:05I want to.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06OK.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54She's amazing.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Isn't she just?

0:24:56 > 0:24:58My mum loved that one.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02So the guy's here to collect the piano.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04It's... It's fine...

0:25:04 > 0:25:05But he's gone again.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09I heard you and Mike talking, so I just told him the truth.

0:25:09 > 0:25:10And he understood.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Cos every home should have a piano, right?

0:25:14 > 0:25:16- One condition, though. - You'll play us another tune.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Deal.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29- I don't dance.- You do now.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40EXCITED CHATTERING

0:25:53 > 0:25:56CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Yello!

0:26:13 > 0:26:15What have you done now?

0:26:15 > 0:26:16What? Nothing.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21Open the door, Archie.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Is someone under there?- No, no.- Eh?

0:26:28 > 0:26:29May-Li, no!

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Parsnips?!

0:26:35 > 0:26:37I give up. I give up. I totally give up.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42They were really cheap.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50KNOCK AT DOOR

0:26:59 > 0:27:01You were right.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03She's a pretty decent mum now.

0:27:06 > 0:27:07To Alice anyway.

0:27:10 > 0:27:11So what happens now?

0:27:15 > 0:27:18Alice is happy.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21For the first time in a long time, I am too.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Can I really ruin that?

0:27:24 > 0:27:29So I guess we all move on. I mean, they've got their lives.

0:27:33 > 0:27:34And I've got mine.
