No way.

That's so crazy.

No, you have had Snapchat.

I'm not on there. Are you on it?

No.

No! There's no way...

I'm so jealous! Yeah. ...she posted that.

She'd be so embarrassed.

No, the fact that she's trying to be you, but...

...she's like a millennial!

Yeah, she genuinely is.

Hey, are you guys going to the city?

Yeah.

You meeting some friends there?

Yeah.

Why?

Piper!

You were supposed to wait for me.

- I don't know who this is. - (BOY SIGHS)

- Such a pedophile. - I'm not... What the...

I'm her brother.

Uh, stepbrother.

Um, Kimmy.

- Let's go. Oh, thank God.

Okay.

- Come on. - (GIRLS GIGGLING)

They didn't like me, did they?

"Are you guys going to the city?"

No, no, they liked you.

- No, they didn't. - No, they did, they did.

There was three of them

and they all had sort of dark hair.

And they were nice.

They didn't dress very well, though.

Where's your cane, Piper?

It's in my bag. Shut up.

All right. Jeez.

- You ask me all the time! - Okay!

How was goal ball?

Uh, we lost.

Andy! - Hmm?

- Andy! - Yeah?

- Andy! - What?

Dad?

Dad?

Dad, can you answer me, please!

- Andy! - Here, here, here, here, here.

Dad, I'm gonna come in, okay?

He always answers.

Uh, okay, we're coming in, Dad.

Not answering!

- (WATER RUNNING) - (DOOR CREAKING)

Dad?

Dad?

What's happening?

Andy?

Andy!

What's happening?

Dad?

Dad!

Dad!

Andy! (SCREAMING)

Yeah. Now, take a breath.

He'd just finished chemo. He was...

He was supposed to be better.

Okay.

And, Piper, did your brother try to help you?

- No? - (GULPS)

He didn't want me in there.

Okay.

He told me Dad would be okay.

Okay, that's okay. - (STRETCHER RATTLES)

That's okay. You've been so brave, Piper.

Lift it up a little bit. Just...

Hmm.

It says here you're partially sighted. Is that right, Piper?

I can... I can only see shapes and light. That's about it.

I've talked to an amazing foster mum

called Laura. You're gonna love her.

And, Andy, we're gonna put you in your own supervised unit.

- What? - Wait, hold on,

you're splitting us up?

But I look after her.

You can apply for guardianship when you're 18.

Okay, I really don't want her

to move in with a stranger.

She needs me.

Why can't he just come with me?

Laura's had issues

with troubled kids in the past, and...

What?

Nothing.

Grapefruit.

I got into trouble when I was younger.

But it was ages ago. I was, like, eight.

Can you, um...

Can you talk to her and just tell her

that we are not splitting up?

If she agrees, can you behave yourself for three months?

Oi.

You hear that?

That's Dad going to heaven.

Shut up.

No, seriously though, that's...

That's what happens.

You don't get burned or buried, you just...

Catch a plane.

You don't have to make everything nice for me, you know.

Yeah, I know.

The room still smells like him.

Oh, Pipe.

You could take some of his clothes.

They're washed.

Don't smell like him.

His pillow, then.

That's not been washed yet.

Uh, we are... here.

Shit!

Thought I was the blind one.

Oh, shut up, Piper.

Smells like Mum's garden used to.

We're not here for long, Pipe.

Come on.

(ALIVE BY EMPIRE OF THE SUN PLAYING LOUDLY)

(SHOUTING) Hello? (SHOUTING) Come in!

- What? - The door's open!

Just let yourselves in.

Excuse the music!

Whoo!

Oh, here you are!

- Oh, my God. - (MUSIC STOPS)

- Look at yo use! Look at you! Say hi.

Oh, gorgeous. Come in! (LAUGHS)

Oh, welcome to your new home!

Mi casa, your casa!

- I'm Laura and you're... - Hi.

- Piper? - Yeah.

And ...

- Andy. - That's right.

Hey, you know what we need?

A photo. Yeah? Shall we get a photo?

- Yeah? - I think so. I'd love that.

- Smile. - Here. Yeah. Yeah.

Aah!

Hey, that's great.

That's lovely.

Look at that. (LAUGHS)

Oh, someone...

needs to meet Pompom.

- Oh, who's Pompom? - That's my dog.

- Yeah. - (PIPER CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Come here.

He's a bit shy.

- (BARKS, LAUGHS) - He's stuffed, Pipe.

Yeah, no, he's dead.

I know I'm a weirdo.

Row-row, Piper! Row-row, Andy!

Hi, Pompom.

There's a house cat around here somewhere.

Junkman.

Haven't stuffed him. Yet.

- But I will do. - (CHUCKLES)

Where's your cane, love?

Oh, I don't like using it.

Oh, how come?

Uh, don't want people treating me different.
