00:00Interesting style, a bit rough round the edges.
00:12But we'd soon knock that out of you.
00:15Do you mean?
00:16The junior reporter job is yours.
00:21If I like your test article.
00:25Test article?
00:26Write about these kids that you're working with.
00:29Tell me what life is like from their point of view.
00:32Aren't you taking notes?
00:34Tell me what life's like from their point of view.
00:37Hopes, fears, dreams, that kind of yadda da yadda da.
00:42Yadda da yadda da?
00:44Yep.
00:45If I like it, you're hired.
00:50And if you don't, nice meeting you.
00:54Cam! I got the job. I'm moving to London.
00:58I'm going to be a proper writer.
01:03TREATEN
01:04TREATEN
01:13TREATEN
01:16Congratulations, Tracy.
01:22Yeah, good luck with it all, yeah?
01:24When are you supposed to start?
01:25I have to write an article for the editor first about the kids.
01:28Tracy?
01:29It's for real, Mike.
01:30Look, she's offered me the job as long as she likes the article.
01:33Okay, well, we'll assume that you're leaving and advertise for a replacement.
01:37I'm going to do a lot of many interviews with each of them.
01:39You don't have to explain it to us.
01:42They're the ones that need to know.
01:46Right.
01:49Just as she was starting to work out.
01:56Did I say that out loud?
02:05Listen up.
02:09Um, I've been offered a job in London as a junior reporter for a newspaper.
02:13Wow.
02:14So, I'm leaving.
02:19Look, I've dreamt of this job ever since I lived here.
02:23I'm sorry, I can't turn it down.
02:25It means too much.
02:26Oh, and we don't.
02:28Well, that's put us in our place.
02:30No, I didn't mean it like that.
02:32Don't beat yourself up, Beaker.
02:33You're just one in a long line of care workers.
02:37Easy come, easy go.
02:40Bye-bye, Tracy.
02:40I'm not leaving yet.
02:43I think this is great.
02:44You can write about us or make us all famous.
02:47Well, I don't know about famous, but I would like to write about you.
02:51I want you to tell me what it's like to be in care.
02:56You already know what it's like to be in a care home.
02:58Well, yeah, but the editor wants the article to be from your point of view.
03:03It's kind of a test.
03:04Hold on, hold on.
03:05You want to leave us, but you want our help.
03:07Sorry, Tracy.
03:10That sucks.
03:12Liam, please.
03:13You want out?
03:14Fine.
03:15Go.
03:16You ain't getting my help.
03:34Carmen.
03:37It's like I told them their birthday had been cancelled.
03:56It's the same with Mike and Gina pretending to be nice.
03:59It's so obvious they didn't mean it.
04:01Well, take it as a compliment.
04:03They all just really want you to stay.
04:05Right, so I'll just forget the whole thing.
04:07I know.
04:08I'll spend my whole life in the dumping ground.
04:10That way everyone's happy, right?
04:12Look, it's natural to feel a little bit guilty.
04:15But Mike and Gina will survive without you.
04:17And so will the kids.
04:18So they not need to if I can't get their help on the article?
04:20Oh, they'll come round once they've had a night to sleep on it.
04:23You'll see.
04:24They'll be queuing up to talk to you.
04:26I hope so.
04:26She doesn't like us anymore.
04:32She does.
04:32She just likes being a writer better.
04:35Maybe if we do her article, they'll want photos to go with it and then buy us new clothes.
04:39As if.
04:40Liam's right.
04:41We shouldn't do an article.
04:42Why are you so cross with Tracy?
04:44She can leave if she wants to.
04:46She said she'd make sure I get back with Poppy and Rosie.
04:48She promised and now she's leaving.
04:50Lily, we won't do the dumb article.
04:52I promise.
04:54Right, T?
04:56Yep.
04:57If I'm here so you can ask me to talk Tracy out of leaving, you're wasting your time.
05:02I can't pretend I'm not disappointed, but I get where she's going.
05:06It's a fantastic opportunity.
05:08She's done really well for herself, considering what she was like as a child.
05:13Ha!
05:14Nightmare.
05:14Cheers.
05:24You've been an amazing month, huh?
05:26Aw, thanks, Mike.
05:27Oh, it's so hard finding good foster parents.
05:30We were really lucky to find you.
05:32Well, that's not everyone's a cup of tea.
05:34No.
05:35That's why it's important to hold on to the good ones.
05:38Yeah, I bet.
05:39Got a good bunch of kids at the moment.
05:41I'd love to find them somewhere.
05:44Mike, you're not suggesting that I...
05:48That is a crazy idea.
05:50No, it's a corker.
05:52You'll have the space when Tracy moves out.
05:55And we're desperate for foster homes.
05:57Tracy was a one-off.
05:59There's no way I'd go through that again.
06:03Tea.
06:05Tea.
06:08What's wrong?
06:09I've been thinking.
06:10I reckon we should do Tracy's article.
06:12What, all of us?
06:15No.
06:16Just you and me.
06:18And why just us?
06:19Don't be sick to you.
06:21Well, you did just wake me up.
06:23Look, if the whole article was just about us,
06:26imagine how much interest there'll be.
06:28We're bound to get fostered.
06:30Maybe even find some relatives we didn't know about.
06:32I can't, Johnny.
06:33I promised Lily I wouldn't.
06:35Don't worry.
06:35I'll talk to her.
06:36No, please don't.
06:38She'll be fine once she hears why.
06:40Johnny!
06:42Tea's doing Tracy's article, okay?
06:46There you go.
06:46Started.
06:47Wait, that's not okay.
06:48You don't decide what Tea does.
06:49Neither do you.
06:50So, let's let Tea decide.
06:52She has decided.
06:53Well, I never...
06:54She's doing it.
06:55Let us speak!
06:56It's because you lost your sisters.
06:57Don't start poking your nose in my mouth.
06:59Johnny!
06:59Get out!
07:00Stop!
07:01Get out!
07:01Get out!
07:02Get out!
07:03Get out!
07:03Get out!
07:04Get out!
07:05Get out!
07:05Get out!
07:07Look, stop it!
07:08Stop it!
07:09Stop it!
07:13What's happening?
07:15Johnny was having a go at Lily.
07:16He was just trying to talk to her about Tracy.
07:18Look, just go to bed.
07:19Go on!
07:20Now!
07:21To bed!
07:22All of you!
07:23Well done, Johnny.
07:23Well, have a think about it, he said.
07:30Look, I'm just going to go pick another kid because you're leaving.
07:33Yeah.
07:33Who'd want someone else to keep them company when they could be rattling around a big empty
07:37flat on their own?
07:38Tracy, you don't agree with him, do you?
07:40You're a great mum.
07:41Yeah, I'm your mum.
07:43You could be someone else's too.
07:45You don't have to adopt them, just take them in for a while.
07:47No way.
07:48It'd be a disaster.
07:50Maybe.
07:51Well, what if it wasn't?
07:51Never say never.
08:01You didn't lose any time hitting on camp.
08:04You know how hard it is finding foster parents.
08:07Couldn't let a good one go to waste now, could I?
08:09Not that she wants to do it.
08:11Ah, maybe she does.
08:13It's not a done deal.
08:14Talked to her for ages last night.
08:17She's coming over this morning to see you.
08:19Great.
08:21How are the kids?
08:28Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that.
08:31Gina found some of them arguing last night.
08:33They're all pretty unsettled about your going.
08:36I'll talk to them.
08:37Yeah.
08:37I've had a look at your holiday entitlements and Gina and I have had a chat.
08:49And we think it's probably best that, well, you can leave at the end of the week.
08:54I don't need to leave that fast.
08:58I'm really sorry.
08:59But it's causing disruption.
09:01I need to be here.
09:03If I can't get the kids to help with the article, I won't have a job to go to.
09:06You can have a word with them.
09:08I'm sure they'll talk to you.
09:10Maybe you could.
09:16This is between you and them.
09:18I, er...
09:18It would be wrong for me to get involved.
09:21You've known me since I was a kid, Mike.
09:23What have I always wanted to be?
09:25A writer.
09:26A writer.
09:28I'm this close and you won't help me.
09:32This is coming from the man who said never to let being in care hold you back.
09:37Tracy, if I could, I wouldn't.
09:39I don't want to hear it.
09:42I'm going to get this job, Mike.
09:44And I'm going to do it just like I've got everything else I ever wanted.
09:48On my own.
09:48Look, I know you're all totally hacked off with me.
09:58I'm sorry for upsetting you.
10:01But we care kids don't get given breaks.
10:04So when opportunity comes along, we've got to take it.
10:08That's all I'm doing.
10:10Don't hate me for it.
10:12That's not why I hate you.
10:15I hate you for conning us.
10:17Giving it all that, I'm there for you.
10:21We're all care kids together.
10:23You are just using us so you can move on to something better.
10:29Is that what you all think?
10:31You promised me to help me get back with Poppy and Rosie.
10:34Lily, I'm sorry.
10:36Guys, we're all in this together.
10:56No one helps.
10:57They won't cooperate.
11:02They hate me.
11:03What about the article?
11:05I've been trying to write it.
11:06Guessing what they might say.
11:08But it's fake and it's rubbish.
11:10I'll have to interview them.
11:12I can.
11:13Come on in.
11:18Can I get you a cup of coffee?
11:19No.
11:21Thanks, Mike.
11:23Actually, I don't know if there's much point in us talking.
11:26What?
11:28Why?
11:29Oh, well, this is all such a mess.
11:35Look, I was thinking about fostering,
11:37but it doesn't look like Tracy's going now.
11:39What, to London?
11:40Yeah, haven't you heard?
11:41All the kids are refusing to help her with her article.
11:43When did they...
11:44Tracy's just told me now.
11:45Oh, Cam, I feel really bad.
11:47Well, that's not your fault.
11:49No.
11:50Tracy asked me to talk to them and I wouldn't.
11:53I thought it was their choice.
11:54So if Tracy's not moving out,
11:56I can't think about fostering anyone.
11:59Sorry, Mike.
12:01But I know this must be really disappointing for you.
12:07Please, T.
12:08I reckon we'd be in with a really good chance of Cam fostering us.
12:11But we all agreed we weren't going to do it.
12:13This is different.
12:14It's our future.
12:15Stop asking me to choose between you and my friends.
12:18It's not fair.
12:19I'm just trying to do what's right for us.
12:21I know, but you're getting me in a muddle.
12:24Sorry.
12:28Hiya.
12:30Don't really fancy it.
12:32I don't want it.
12:33I've decided to do you your interview.
12:48Thanks, Johnny.
12:49That'll be a great help.
12:50You do realise it'll just be me?
12:52Tell you what, do it.
12:53That's fine.
12:55I'm just going to get my laptop, OK?
12:56Gina, you haven't moved my laptop, have you?
13:06It's just I can't find it.
13:07No, I've just come in.
13:08Why?
13:09So 40% of residents might help Tracey.
13:15That's Johnny, T, Carmen and Harry.
13:18With another 10% persuadable.
13:20That's Frank.
13:22So that's half the residents.
13:23That's good.
13:24Bad.
13:24The remaining 40% are Sapphire, Liam, Toby and Lily.
13:28Who have 90% of the power.
13:30And that 40% will use their 90% so the first 15% will say no.
13:35And what about your 10%, Gus?
13:38Where do you stand?
13:41In my bedroom.
13:46So you haven't seen it then?
13:48You think I stole it?
13:49Did you?
13:50Tracey, Lily doesn't steal things.
13:54I didn't take it either.
13:57Sorry.
13:58I was just wondering.
14:01Look, Lily, me leaving doesn't stop me helping you get back with Rosie and Poppy.
14:05It does.
14:07I'll still talk to Rob about it.
14:09And I'll keep putting pressure on Mike.
14:11I'm always here if you need to talk to me.
14:14Just be at the end of the phone sometimes instead of face to face.
14:18Look, I'm leaving the job.
14:21I'm not leaving your lives.
14:22Oh, Liam, can I have a word?
14:33Yeah.
14:34How about goodbye?
14:36No, my laptop's gone missing.
14:37I was just wondering if...
14:38Yeah, so you're accusing me for nicking it?
14:40No, I was just wondering if I knew where it was.
14:42Ha, well, I don't.
14:44Liam, hang on.
14:49You sure you haven't seen it?
14:51Look, I don't want to get Mike and Gina involved in this.
14:52Ha, don't threaten me.
14:54I ain't seen your skanky laptop.
14:56All right?
14:56I never said that you had.
14:58Just because you met me down the nick doesn't mean I'm a thief.
15:01I know.
15:02Liam, look, please, will you just calm down?
15:04Look, I'll show you.
15:05I'll show you.
15:05Yeah?
15:06I'll show you I ain't got your laptop.
15:08See your laptop anywhere, dear?
15:10What's going on?
15:11Have you asked her about your precious laptop, have you?
15:13No.
15:13No, because I'm your prime suspect.
15:16She's the one who handles stolen goods.
15:18Don't bang out of order, Liam.
15:19Not from where I'm standing, it's not.
15:21Go on, have a pop at her.
15:23What are you having to go at me for?
15:24I'm not the enemy.
15:25She is.
15:26Come on, get out of my room all here.
15:28Wait.
15:29Look, I'm not stupid.
15:32I can see the damage that I've done by saying I want to leave.
15:34OK, so you won't help me with my article.
15:38Maybe it was unreasonable for me to ask.
15:41I'm obviously not going to get the job,
15:43but it's clear none of you lot want me here.
15:46So I might as well just leave anyway.
15:48OK.
16:04I wanted to stop you from doing your interviews.
16:14Because if you asked me and I said no,
16:16then Johnny would be mad at me.
16:18But if I said yes, then everybody else would.
16:21I'm really sorry, Tracy.
16:22So, Katie, I'm sorry for making things difficult for you and the others.
16:27I didn't mean to.
16:28I know.
16:30Can we just keep this our secret?
16:32I wouldn't want Johnny to know that it was me that took the laptop.
16:35Sure.
16:36Thanks.
16:38So what's the first question?
16:40Hmm?
16:40For the interview, what's the first question?
16:43Are you sure?
16:44I don't want to cause you any trouble.
16:47Just don't tell anyone else.
16:49What about Johnny?
16:54Tails.
16:57I'll take Leo.
16:59That's the three?
17:00You have got Sapphire.
17:02The risks I'd take for a fostering opportunity.
17:05So why have we got to help Tracy?
17:09Because if you do it, all the others will follow you.
17:12Hmm?
17:13Listen, Mike has known Tracy for a long, long time.
17:19And I don't think he wants to leave in here with any bad feeling.
17:23And neither do I.
17:26So please, just think about it.
17:34Where should I help?
17:36You can help if you want.
17:38Leave me out.
17:39Why are you so angry?
17:41I thought I finally met a care worker who got me.
17:45It was on my side.
17:49Should have known better.
17:50Come on, Harry, come out.
17:56Jeff's too sad.
17:58Why?
17:59You hate Tracy.
18:06Thanks, guys.
18:07No problem.
18:07You will tell Cam that we helped, right?
18:11Probably.
18:13Why?
18:16Johnny?
18:16I heard her talking to Mike, saying she wouldn't foster because us lot wouldn't do your interviews.
18:24So...
18:24What were you thinking?
18:29I did not blackmail Mike into getting the kids to talk to you.
18:33I simply said, if you weren't leaving, I wouldn't be able to foster.
18:37Johnny got it wrong.
18:38Okay.
18:39Sorry for going off on one.
18:45Hang on.
18:48I've got to go.
18:49I promise I won't tell Liam.
19:04Or any of the others.
19:06I mean, I'm not, you know, insisting that you do it, but I'm just saying that...
19:10Probably old Mike.
19:11I get it.
19:12Okay?
19:12Great.
19:13Sure.
19:14Right.
19:17Does that mean that you will help Tracy?
19:20I mean, no pressure.
19:22Thanks.
19:27Where were we?
19:28In a bed sit with your dad.
19:30Oh, yeah.
19:31Why did I hide from Mike?
19:33Because we didn't know it was him.
19:34And he might have told the others that we were talking to Tracy.
19:38Saf.
19:40What made you decide to help?
19:42Oh, something Harry said.
19:47And you've always been there for me when it mattered.
19:52Seemed right to return the favour.
19:54Even if I don't like you much.
19:58Right.
19:59Tell me about this bed sit.
20:01Oh, I feel dreadful.
20:02I'm so embarrassed.
20:03Why?
20:04What's happening?
20:05Johnny overheard a conversation this morning.
20:07He thinks I'm going to foster him and tea.
20:09Really?
20:09Quick.
20:20Well, Lily, you'll wonder where I've gone.
20:22So, what's the first question?
20:27And that's why it's not a great idea to listen in on other people's conversations, Johnny.
20:32You get the wrong end of the stick.
20:35And if I did decide to foster, well, it wouldn't be fair to choose on the basis of who let Tracy
20:41interview them first.
20:43Did you see that, Johnny?
20:43I just thought that you'd like tea and it'd all work out.
20:48The decision to foster anyone hasn't been made yet.
20:51And it's a much bigger thing than simply deciding who we like the most.
20:55We understand.
20:57Don't we, Johnny?
21:00Good.
21:03Come on, then.
21:04Off you go.
21:05Carmel and I were just chatting, so don't give her a hard time, okay?
21:21Did she say so?
21:32Found it then?
21:33I'm really, really sorry for accusing you.
21:35I thought you said you were Adam.
21:37Yeah, whatever.
21:38Your basement number was wrong.
21:40Where are you going?
21:41Well, I didn't think you'd want to be in here with me.
21:43We don't mind.
21:45What's going to do with the interviews?
21:51Only if you promise not to tell the others.
21:57Yeah.
22:05Where's Lily, guys?
22:07I don't know.
22:08You know what, guys?
22:11I'm trying to write this ad for Trace's replacement,
