[Thunder crashing]
MOLLY: This is Hardwick House Orphanage.
I've lived here all my life.
That's grumpy Edna, the cook.
That's nice Mrs. Trinklebury.
She looks after the little ones and lives in the village.
And the handyman...
Oh, I forgot.
Miss Adderstone fired him.
She runs the orphanage.
She's horrible.
We live by Adderstone's rules,
No singing, no sweets, no TV...
[Thunder continues]
No fun.
That's me.
Well, actually, no, it isn't.
Miss Adderstone doesn't even like us reading.
It's why I'm hiding in the laundry room.
That's me, Molly Moon.
Come on, Molly.
And that's my friend, Rocky.
Midnight feast.
[Dog barks, growls] [shushing]
Hush, hush, silly Petula. Mummy's back.
[Whimpers]
Ketchup sandwich.
[Children chattering] Not so loud.
Adderstone will hear. Ketchup!
[Children chattering]
[Snarls]
GIRL: I love ketchup!
MISS ADDERSTONE: What is going on here?
Out of bed after curfew?
Stealing from the kitchen?
Girls in the boys' dormitory?
You thought it was bad before...
It was me, Miss Adderstone.
It was my idea.
Molly Moon,
The rotten bad apple.
I might have guessed.
Toilet cleaning duty all week.
And all of you, 6 P.M. curfew
And fish soup three times a day.
It's so disgusting.
There's an eyeball in mine.
It's staring at me. Yuck.
Come on, Ruby. It's not that bad.
Smells horrible. Yuck.
I don't even like fish!
Do we have to eat this, Mrs. Trinklebury?
I'm gonna vomit.
Thanks to Bog-Eyes,
We're on curfew and vomit soup all week.
Yeah, Bog-Eyes.
Don't you be rude about my food!
I put a nice piece of mackerel in there.
One of you should find it.
I can't do this.
Are you gonna eat that?
Molly, what's that?
Talent contest.
You should enter.
You're brilliant.
Not a chance, loser boy.
That money is ours.
Nobody leaves. BOTH: Shut the front door!
Gonna bring you to your knees.
£300!
That's enough, you lot!
I'd buy loads of sweets.
Little ones, it's time for a nap.
Come on. Let's go. Do I have to?
Bye, Jinx. Bye-bye, Molly.
Bye-bye, fish soup. Bye, Jinx.
Bye, Ruby. Bye.
[Chatter continues]
Your boyfriend won't enter the contest. He's scared.
He's not my boyfriend! He's my friend!
And he's the only one you'll ever have, weirdo.
No wonder your parents dumped you here.
No one dumped me!
Yeah, right, reject!
I'm not a reject! Who told you that?
Everyone knows it.
You better shut up before I make you shut up!
Silence!
What on Earth is going on?
Molly.
And what is this?
Talent contest?
How dare you bring this nonsense in here
And cause this commotion?
Your punishment obviously wasn't enough, Moon.
Dishwashing duty all week.
Don't ever think that you can get the better of me,
Because I will come down on you like a ton of bricks!
Molly, that's enough bubbles.
Let me give you a hand.
Thanks, but I can do this on my own.
Miss Moon...

I can't do it.

Anyone in their right minds wanting you!
Now finish the washing up!
Nighty-night.
Good night, Molly.
What's the matter?
They said I was a reject,
That nobody wanted me.
Oh, Molly, don't listen to them.
Come here.
Your parents loved you very much.
They died.
They didn't dump me.
You were very special to them,
And you still are to all of us.
Now you need to get to bed.
You got a cross-country run tomorrow.
Go on.
Just believe in yourself, Molly.
Run with me, Molly.
I'm not a reject.

Where are you, Molly?
[Grunts]
"Hypnotism: An Ancient Art Explained"
By Dr. H. Logan, 1908.
I know it very well,
But as I said, we've been unable to locate it.
Now listen. I reserved that book.
I can only... I came all the way from London.
Professor, please.
I've been looking for that book
For a very long time.
I ask you to keep your voice down, please.
The only surviving copy is here in this library.
Find it!
That's your job, isn't it?!
Professor, please.
What sort of incompetent librarian are you?
Right. Find it myself.
Hs. Hs. Hs.
Ah, here. Hamsters.
Hairdressing. Hippies.
Hypnotism. Here we go.
"History of Hypnotism."
"Helpful tips on Hypnotism."
Somebody's borrowed it,
And it hasn't been properly booked out.
Nobody has borrowed it, Professor.
I could only assume it's lost.
[Fading] I don't know what to tell you...
[Music playing]
"You are about to depart on an incredible journey"
Or the week after. I need it now!
Professor, I'm afraid it may very well be lost.
I suggest you find it.
Otherwise, Briersville will be looking for a new librarian.
[Book thumps]
Perhaps I was a little too hasty, Professor. Let me look again.
That's it! That's the book!
Hey, wait!
[Door thumps]
You, come back!
That is not the sort of dress
You should be wearing to a funeral.
[Professor grunts]
To mind my own business!
You! You!
Where does this road lead?
"Hypnotism is an ancient art."
"It has been used since the earliest times"
"To dissolve fear and pain,"
"To change peoples' lives."
"An experienced hypnotist will find"
"That hypnotism can be achieved with a simple glare of the eyes."
"Only a few will have the true gift."
"To find out whether you have this talent,
"Try to put yourself into a trance.
"All you need is a looking glass
So you can stare into your eyes."
"Stare hard.
"When you feel as if you are floating,
"Your mind is in a trance.
Focus completely on your reflection."
[Petula barking]
Quiet, Petula!
Why do you have to be so mean all the time?
[Whimpers]
[Barks]
[Whimpers]
Petula, no.
"Think of the animal you are going to hypnotize.
Find its voice. Copy it."
[Barks]
Rrrr. Grr.
[Groaning] [growling]
[Whimpers]
[Yips]
[Whimpers]
From now on, no angry Petula.
[Whimpers]
Wow! It actually worked!
You and me are friends now.
There you are.
You said you'd practice with me.
You'll never believe...
I waited over an hour.
I'm sorry, Rocky. I just...
I just don't care why, Molly.
Just don't let me down again next time.
I won't.
Come on. Let's go to dinner.
Fish vomit soup all week.
[Door closes]
Hmm. We'll see about that.
[Radio thumping music]
"Help wanted."
Hmm.
[Engine backfiring]
I don't know why I bother, really.
Nobody likes it, anyway.
Smells nice. Oh!
What? Your own recipe?
'Course it's my own flippin' recipe.
MOLLY: "Copy your subject."
This will help put them into a trance."
Bloomin' creepy, you are.
It's too flamin' hot.
Here! What you doing?
It is too flamin' hot in here.
You need a break.
Hmm. Suppose it won't hurt.
I do need a bloomin' break.
There we go,
Round, round.
Nice and relaxing.
I'm beginning to feel a bit soupy.
You are feeling sleepy.
Feel how relaxed you are.
What awfully nice eyes you've got.
Yours must be feeling very heavy right now.
Just take a few nice breaths.
Breaths... breaths.
In... [inhales]
And out.
3, 2,
1.
Amazing!
Amazing.
Edna, from now on,
You'll be the friend of me, Molly Moon,
And you're not going to cook fish or chicken feet.
You're going to cook something delicious...
From Italy.
Delicious, from Italy.
[Edna humming "La Donna è Mobile"]
Buon appetito!
It's really yummy.
[Continues humming] [children talking]
[Speaking Italian] Spaghetti.
I love spaghetti!
Nice.
Spaghetti primavera,
Formaggia, e pomodoro.
Hey! [resumes humming]
MRS. TRINKLEBURY: That's really good.
It's got garlic in it. I love garlic.
[Chatter continues] [humming]
Spaghetti! Edna!
Have you gone mad?
No. I happen to have a love of Italy deep in my soul,
And sometimes it comes out.
It's never come out before!
First time for everything. Deep in her soul.
Andiamo. [laughter]
What's "andiamo"?
Gemma, could you take the little ones upstairs, please?
And you should try it, Miss Adderstone.
It's remarkably good.
I don't do spaghetti.
It's great! Quiet, please!
MOLLY: It's delicious, Edna!
Shouting is not permitted, Moon!
See me in my study after dinner!
Oi! Molly's just complimented me on my food.
You owe her an apology.
Edna...
What?
I think you need a little holiday.
Actually, Miss Adderstone,
Um...
I think she might be onto something.
This is the first nutritious meal
That the kids have had in... in years.
Yeah, it's lovely. It's delicious.
It's really good.
This is a letter from a Mr. and Mrs. Alabaster.
They will be coming to visit us,
And they've asked me to recommend one of you older children
And only one of you for adoption.
Oh, it's not every day
That wealthy, nice people do this sort of thing,
And you certainly don't deserve them.
They're coming on Saturday afternoon.
All you children will be presented to them,
But who I choose will be the child they adopt.
Hazel...
Better luck next time.
Well done. Yes.
It's your lucky day.
Make sure you look presentable.
I don't want to go without you.
We won't let that happen.
We'll always stick together.
Don't worry. I'll think of a plan.
You promised that Molly and Rocky would be adopted together.
Don't tell me my job, Trinklebury.
I've raised those two since the day they arrived,
And I'm not gonna stand by
And see what little happiness they have ripped away.
Well, it's my decision.
Anyway, they need to learn to stand on their own two feet,
Apart from each other if necessary.
If you go through with it,
I will be forced to talk to the governing board,
And they won't stand for you treating the children's futures like this.
[Gears grinding]
Moon, Moon.
I know where you live, Moon.
There you are.
Hello, Mum.
So where have you been all week, huh?
I'm organizing a job, big one.
I think you'll be impressed.
No, I doubt that.
You'll never be a master criminal
Like me, you know. [laughs]
I'm going to rob Shorings Bank.
Shorings? You mean the jewelry people?
Are you mad? It's like Fort Knox.
Anyway, I heard that the Cregg gang have got their eyes on it.
Well, what if I told you
That I'm going to get there before them?
And what if I told you that I'm going to use hypnosis?
[Laughs] What are you talking about?
There's this girl, and, uh, she has a book, tells you everything.
Little girl and a book.
Mum... What are you talking about?
This book's amazing.
It has the power to choose who becomes a master hypnotist,
And it's going to choose me.
I just have to get the book off the girl.
Um, her name is Moon,
And she lives in an orphanage.
Moon, hypnotism, robbing banks?
Mum, I just need to get... Are you out of medication?
Stick to the small stuff.
I don't want to sell off
Other people's stolen things for...
Oh, shut up,
And get on with it.
I'll show her.
Hardwick House.
[Squeaks]
Moon.
Second floor.
What do you want?! Speak!
The sign, help wanted. It's...
Oh, you want the job.
Let's start with the sewage tank.
Ohh! Ohh! I want it finished
Before the children get back from school.
[Groaning] Revolting.
[Cuckoo warbling]
Showtime, Trinklebury.
MOLLY: "To lull your subject into a trance",
"Echo their feelings.
See the world as they do."
Adderstone's mad.
"Beware. Angry people are difficult to hypnotize."
"Find something that they are deeply attached to.
"This thing could be a hobby, a piece of music,
A favorite belonging."
Your patterns.
Mrs. Trinklebury,
These lightbulbs need replacing.
Um, give me a hand. I can't quite reach.
Of course, Miss Adderstone.
The children need to see where they're going.
Don't want there to be a nasty accident, do we?
Yes, that side.
[Grunting]
Just... Just a few more...
[Yelling, crashing]
CHILD: What the...
Oh, Mrs. Trinklebury!
Mrs. Trinklebury!
[Overlapping chatter]
Girls! Come quickly!
Come on. She's fallen down the stairs.
Quick, Molly! Something awful's happened!
[Groaning] Mrs. Trinklebury!
[Chatter continues]
[Siren approaching]
[Groaning]
We want to say goodbye to her.
Let us pass. I want to see.
Stiff upper lips!
Accidents happen.
Is she dead?
No, of course she isn't dead!
It was just a little trip!
[Siren blaring]
Come on. Up to bed, all of you!
Up! Come on. Nothing to look at!
[Squeaks]
[Radio playing music]
Get well soon, Trinkers.
But not too soon.
[Window thumps] [gasps]
Oh, I say.
You're very forward, Mr. Nockman.
Gutters. I'm just... You know.
The last handyman...
Just used the stairs.
Come and have a sherry.
Ohh! Oh! Oh!
[Groans]
First thing tomorrow!
Don't be late!
We're so pleased you and Mrs. Alabaster
Have decided to adopt one of our children.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday. Goodbye.
[Telephone hangs up]
Come on. We'd better go.
You go ahead. I'll catch you up.
What?
I've got something to do.
Just make sure we're on last.
But... I promise I'll be there.
Just go.
[Knock on door]
[Sighs] Come!
If you've come to try to change my mind
About Rocky, don't bother.
Stop ogling me, girl! You look demented.
I've always admired your fashion sense, Miss Adderstone.
Your choice of patterns, really original...
And you make it work so well.
Yes, I-I've always...
Enjoyed combining patterns
And colors and...
Patterns.
[Gasps]
The patterns on your skirt
Work so perfectly
With the shapes on your shirt.
You're right.
Some people would say they clash, but I...
I see you've understood my pants...
My point.
3, 2...
1.
ROCKY: I'm really nervous, you know.
But Molly will turn up.
You know that, don't you?
But what if she doesn't show up?
Gotta get the money.
[Laughs] Look who it is.
You loser.
[Overlapping chatter]
I wish we had parents.
Someday.
You remember how it was when you were a child,
When you were happy?
You'll be nice to everyone.
Yes, only nice.
And you'll need someone to play with.
Here's your new best friend.

Hello. I'm Rocky.
How lovely to see you.
I've really been looking forward to meeting you.
No, no, no. Pleasure, Rocky.
Nice to meet you, Rocky. Someone else.
Oh. Come over here.
Tell me about yourself.
No, no, I think there's been
A tiny, little bit of a mistake.
I like cross-country running,
Reading history, and playing the guitar,
Classical mostly.
Me, too.
Molly, where have you been?!
The Alabasters are here!
They've chosen Rocky!
He's leaving!
MOLLY: Rocky.
No.
Stop!
Rocky, stop!
What are you doing? No, it should be Hazel.
I just want to go, Molly.
Go? You can't go!
I changed everything for the better!
You promised you'd be there for me,
And you weren't.
You promised.
We have to go now, Richard.
Rocky.
Don't worry, Molly.
He'll come back.
You didn't see the look in his eyes.
Then you've got to go and find him.
I can't just leave you all.
Don't worry about us.
We'll manage.
Just bring him back as soon as you can.
We need him here for Christmas.
I'll do it.

So for Mr. Duncan Alabaster,
It's 12 Montparis Avenue,

Okay. Thank you.
Good day, Madame.
I think I know how you and your dog got in here.
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.
An orphan, aren't you?
Why do you think that?
I can tell. You have to be tougher
Than the rest, don't you?
You're an orphan, too?
You're not throwing me out?
Let's just take it one day at a time, shall we?
Thank you.

Please don't hypnotize any more of my staff.

It's a long story.
I got so much to tell you.
You'll die when you see where I was staying.
It's amazing.
I can hypnotize people.
I can do amazing things.
We can do amazing things together,
Everything we dreamt about.
I'm not going anywhere.
Rocky, I'm sorry I let you down at the talent...
It doesn't matter.
They're my family now. [intercom] Richard?

Yes, Dad. Just coming.

The whole gift-wrapped package.
I'm being deadly serious.
I want her to replace Davina,
And we'll call the show...
"Marvellous."
Everyone's gonna love her.
Do you really think they... Don't speak!
Look at those eyes.
I tell you...
You are a star.
Of course the boot's not too small.
You're just not putting it on right!
I can't believe he did that to me! It's not my fault!
Don't worry, darling.
Mummy's going to sort it all out.
Ow! For God's sake, careful!

But I'm sure you'll all agree her replacement is mesmerizing.
Thank you.

We heard about you on the radio.
How is Mrs. Trinklebury?
She's getting better.
She's still in hospital.
Is Miss Adderstone looking after you,
Now that she's being nice?
Kind of. She's still behaving funny.
She lets us look after ourself now.
What about Edna? She's left.
She's gone to open a restaurant in Italy.
Did you find Rocky?
Yes.
He's happy where he is.
When are you coming home, Molly?
[Line beeps] One second, Gerry.
I have to take this other call.
Hello.
Your limousine is downstairs, Miss Moon.
Thank you.

Really? Why aren't we taking him with us?
Oh, goodness, no.
Disrupt his education
And his music studies.
[Computer beeps]
Hello, Mum. Have you found her yet?
Not yet, no.
You might try looking for her at Portland Studio.
She is about to become the biggest TV star in the world.
Molly Moon?
What do you mean?
She's got that book with her,
And I think she's been learning from it.
What was the name of that studio, Mum?
Portland Studios.
How do you spell that, Mum?
P-O-R... Oh, I don't know why I bother.

Don't be so pathetic.
Play.

Molly Moon.
I don't believe it.
Seriously? Got better kids in the infant class.
[Sighs]
[Bell tolls]
Molly Moon, you are a star.
Welcome to showbiz.
Molly, Molly,
How does it feel to be toast of the town?
I feel right at home.
MAN: Do you think fame will change you?
Of course it won't.
Your family must be so proud.
Are they here tonight?
They...
Couldn't make it.
You've become a star overnight,
Everything a girl could ask for.
So tell me, if there was one person in the whole world
You could share all this with, who would it be?
[No audible dialogue]
All those people,
I fooled them.
I cheated, Petula.
I feel so bad about it.
They don't really love me,
Not like my real friends.
I miss Rocky, Petula.
[Whimpers]
Oh, there you are, Molly.
You need to get dressed for the after-show party.
I'll take Petula.
[Whimpers]
Right.
[Crying]
Davina?
I know what you're up to,
And I know your secret.
You just hypnotize people to get what you want.
Six years of ballet lessons,
Tap lessons, singing lessons,
And you just bat your eyelashes and waltz in.
You're right, Davina.
This is yours.
I just wanted what you had.
You're the star.
I thought I could make everything great,
But I didn't at all.
I don't want this anymore.
This is yours.
Thank you.
I was a bit of a monster.
We've both made mistakes, Davina.
It's time I went home.
But aren't you an orphan?
Yes, I am.
Then you haven't got a family.
But that doesn't mean I don't have people who love me,
And I miss them.
I'm giving all this up.
Molly! Sweetie, what are you wearing?
There's a Charlie Cooper interview in half an hour.
We've got the, uh, after-show party.
There's this agent I really...
I'm leaving the show, Barry.
In fact, I'm leaving show business.
[Gasps]
Uh, Molly, Molly, Molly!
No, no, no, no. Don't, uh...
Don't try comedy.
Just focus on singing and dancing right now.
You said to be a star, I must really want it.
Well, I realized I don't.
My friends are more important,
And I miss them,
So I quit.
You ungrateful little brat!
I'm sorry, Barry.
Ahem. [Clears throat]
You're nobody, Moon!
You know that?
And to think I got rid of a real star for you.
Why don't you go and get her back?
She's over there in the dressing room.
Ask Davina back? She'll never agree.
Anyway, she's a monster.
She's pretty brilliant,
Much better than me,
And she deserves another chance.
Imagine the publicity.
Barry Rix masterminds the comeback of Davina "Darling" Nuttel.
Brain wave. Davina in a new show, massive extravaganza.
Do you feel it? Music extravaganza,
Orchestras, dancing girls, the whole lot.
It's fantastic. Yes. Do you like it?
When can we start rehearsal?
Anytime you like. I'm a genius!
You are.
Davina!
Darling, you look fabulous!
So much to discuss.
Petula.
Rocky!
Molly! I missed you!
I've missed you, too, Rocky.
This young man came to the hotel looking for you.
I knew you were here, so I brought him along.
Thank you.
We have to look after our friends.
You understand that?
Now travel home safely.
The Alabasters could never be my family.
They were horrible.
But what about you?
You're a star now.
Well, it's not for me.
I thought I could make everything better.
What are you talking about?
I found this book.
This book taught you how to hypnotize people?
Yes. It was fun at first,
Edna with the spaghetti and Adderstone.
And then it sort of started going wrong.
Come on. We best get back to the orphanage.
I hypnotized the director to pick me
And all the audience.
All of the audience?
But that's amazing, Molly!
You were on television all over the world.
Miss Moon, this letter has just arrived for you.
Thank you.
Petula! She's been kidnapped!
I've got to go to the meeting point alone!
I have to be there by dawn.
Let's call the police!
We can't tell the police.
They'll find out what I've been doing.
You can't just go alone!
We need a plan, okay?
He doesn't know about me.
That's our advantage.
He said come alone.
When did we start doing what grownups say?
Come on, then.
[Distant siren blares]
[Gasps]
NOCKMAN: Now you listen.
[Panting] Petula.
You. It's you!
Why are you wearing those...
I know what you learned in that book,
And you won't do it to me.
I have a little job for you.
[Whimpers]
Do what you're told,
And you and the dog go free. Come on.
MOLLY: Rob a bank?
I can't rob a bank.
I'm not a criminal.
Don't fool yourself.
You conned your way into fame and fortune, didn't you?
How would that look on a billboard?
I was just trying...
You're a natural, all right?
And we're not robbing a bank.
We are robbing the people who are robbing a bank.
Cregg.
NOCKMAN: Right.
We'll wait for Cregg's men
To come out of the bank
In the security truck.
It will be stuffed with jewels.
Then you do as you're told.
Where did she come from?
Where'd she go?
That's my girl.
Out.
Come on!
I've done what you wanted!
You said you'd let me go!
[Petula barking]
Hurry up. Get in there!
We had a deal.
Well, that's show business. Heh.
Okay, Mum...
This is where your son hits the big time!
[Chuckles] [Petula barking]
Ah! The dog stays in the box.
NOCKMAN: Sit there.
There!
What is this?
Iris recognition.
Access denied.
Step away from the vehicle.
[Distant siren blaring]
[Electricity crackles] [screams]
Step away from the vehicle.
It's not fair!
Get him!
Uhh!
Mum!
Hello, sonny. Going somewhere?
Cregg?
You're in this together?
But he's your biggest rival!
Tony and I joined forces
Just before we joined forces.
Heh. Didn't we, Tony?
Oh, you're so cute.
You're old enough to be his...
Think about the end of that sentence.
[Petula barks] MOLLY: Petula.
Huh.
Well, it's a pleasure
To finally meet you.
[Chuckles]
You are a clever girl. Hey.
Stay where you are, pal!
[Laughs] You think we don't know
What we're dealing with here?
You were fantastic hypnotizing half the world,
Let alone my two guys at the bank,
But now we have something that you're gonna have to do for us,
Something that we knew about,
But my stupid son didn't.
Iris recognition.
Come on. Access denied.
I know you can do it.
I can't do it! It's a machine!
Concentrate! Step away from the vehicle.
Otherwise, that dog of yours is dog meat.
Go on! Iris recognition.
Unable to identify. I know you can do it!
Stop fooling around!
Unable to identify.
Unable to...

Iris identification.
Access granted.
Ha ha!
Yes! Get down.
Come here.
[Gasping]
[Laughs]
Bingo.
Put them both in the lockup,
And let's get this stuff in the car.
Okay, babe. Mum? What about me?
Mum!
Get in there.
What about you, son?
[Cregg chuckles]
All the work I put into this.
Double-crossed by my own mother.
And now your Mum's dumped you,
And it's all gone wrong.
Don't expect me to feel sorry for you, Nockman.
You stole something that wasn't yours,
And you cheated.
You're one to talk.
Guess we've both got ourselves into a mess.
You're right.
I cheated, too.
I was wrong.
And I've lost my best friend again.
Perhaps not, hmm?
Rocky! Shh.
He wants you to lock it again with your eyes...
Using the mirrors
When they're both
In the back of the truck.
Come on, Tony! Don't just stand there!
Come on. Help me!
We've got one more load,
And we're done!
Take this.
[Mouths words]
CREGG: Put it in! Put it in!
Over here!
MS. NOCKMAN: We need to go.
I can't do it.
It's too far away.
I saw what you did in the studio
With the big magnifying glass.
Iris identification.
Apply lock.
[Electricity crackles] Aah!
Yes. Oi!
It worked!
That little monster.
Molly, you did it!
Rocky, that was brilliant!
Let's get you out of there.
MS. NOCKMAN: get away with this!
What about him? [Cregg yelling]
I don't think he's a problem anymore.
CREGG: You have to open this door now.
But we do have to deal with them.
Hey, talk to your boy! Nocky!
You know, they took their glasses off.
CREGG: Look, man, listen to your mother!
MOLLY: Aw, they look happy now.
We've got to get those jewels back, don't we, Nockman?
Yeah.
REPORTER: Mystery surrounds the discovery
Of two notorious criminals
Found in Trafalgar Square this morning.
Police believe they masterminded
Yesterday's Shorings Bank robbery.
The jewels from the heist were recovered
Along with 847 garden gnomes.
Now there's a Christmas puzzle to solve.
So tell them you're going to Briersville, hmm,
And they'll tell you where to change trains.
So what are you going to do now, Nockman,
Find another bank to rob?
No. I don't want to end up like my Mum.
In prison.
She's all I had.
You must have friends.
We can be your friends.
You know where we are.
Come and visit us.
Thank you.
I will.
Okay, now come on.
You'll be late.
Merry Christmas.
Did we spend all of the reward money on Christmas presents?
Yes, we did.
It looks deserted.
Oh, I hope everything's all right.
We weren't away for that long.
When Gerry called, now I think about it,
He sounded so worried.
Oh, dear, where is everybody?
Molly! Rocky!
Jinx! Petula!
Molly! Rocky! You're home!
[Overlapping chatter, laughter]
We missed you.
Yay! Molly!
What are you doing back here?
I thought you were adopted.
I'd rather be here.
We thought you left us, Molly.
No!
London was amazing,
But there was something missing.
Spaghetti?
No, not spaghetti, Ruby.
You. I missed all of you.
Wow.
Even you, Hazel.
Thanks, Molly.
Do we all get presents?
Of course.
There's something for everyone.
[Cheering]
We all get presents!
ROCKY: Where's Adderstone?
GEMMA: She's in her room.
She hardly ever comes out anymore.
So who's looking after you?
I am.
Oh, Mrs. Trinklebury!
Come here.
Rocky.
I came back this morning
When I heard what had been going on.
Had to make sure all you sprouts were all right.
Adderstone was horrible to you.
I think she's forgotten about that.
She's not been quite herself.
Well, anyway, she's leaving today.
Miss Adderstone.
Molly Moon.
Are you still hypnotized?
I'm just waiting for a taxi.
I think I've been making a bit of a fool of myself,
And I know I haven't been very nice to you.
Molly...
There's something I should have given to you
That I never have.
Sorry.
When you were found on the doorstep...
This was in the box with you.
Your mother wanted to keep you, but she couldn't.
She did love you, Molly.
That's for certain.
Now... Now go back, and join the others.
"My darling daughter."
[Door opens, closes]
Haven't seen you for some time.
I have something of yours.
Thank you, Molly.
I hope it helped.
How did you know?
It has.
I mean it really has.
It's funny how it has a way of getting into the right hands.
You left it there for me to find, didn't you?
Well, sometimes it needs a little help finding the right person.
Who are you?
I'm just the librarian.
Now hadn't you better be getting back?
It's Christmas Eve.
I probably should.
Thank you.
You're very welcome.
Oh, and Molly?
It wasn't the hypnotism that made you special.
It was you.
MOLLY: There was one more thing to sort out.
[Tapping]
Mrs. Trinklebury. Hmm?
We need to ask you something.
We love you,
And we need you here.
Please would you stay and look after us?
I'd love to.
