00:00♪ I can make my world come true, all my dreams will see me through. Doesn't matter what may come my way, believe me now, I will win someday.
00:20Cam, where are you?
00:22I'm going to be a bit late.
00:24I've been waiting ages already.
00:26I'm sorry.
00:28You know Cam, every single time you promise we can go swimming, you come up with some excuse.
00:33So what is it this time?
00:35No, don't tell me, you're defrosting the cat.
00:40Right, what are you up to?
00:41A big fat nothing thanks to Cam.
00:47Come on kiddo, back off a bit.
00:49It's not fair Mike, I got up really early to do all my chores and she can't even be bothered to turn up on time.
00:56Cam's not just there for you you know, she has got her own life.
00:59I'm supposed to be a part of it, she knows I love swimming.
01:02Well then you can't move to my place until she turns up.
01:05I'll tell her where you are.
01:09One of these days she'll turn up late and I'll be gone for good, then she'll be sorry.
01:16Justine.
01:19Ryan, half this stuff is yours, how much more are you going to eat?
01:23Yeah, you're a big fat pig with hollow legs.
01:27Jenny lumbers me with this chore every Saturday.
01:29All my mates are chilling out in town and I get to hang out in a load of manky underwear.
01:33They're yours aren't they?
01:35I'd rather hang out clothes than do dishes.
01:37Well let's swap.
01:39Swap jobs?
01:40Feel free.
01:43Give me the gloves.
01:44Exterminate.
01:46No, I can't do this without gloves, I've just been doing my nails.
01:49I'll swap you my job.
01:50Alright, you're on.
01:52What's yours?
01:53Changing my sheet and duvet cover.
01:56Gross.
01:57Well, you win some and you lose some.
02:03Oh wow.
02:13Not bad.
02:15My mum's got one like that.
02:16Bit smaller maybe.
02:20What about this?
02:22Brought it on the way back from Australia.
02:25That was one cool holiday.
02:28Well, I mean, it was a bit too hot and there's big hairy insects.
02:35Just because I'm stuck in the dumping ground doesn't mean I don't get to go on holiday.
02:39Once, mum and I stayed with one of her billionaire film star friends.
02:43We spent the mornings in her lagoon.
02:46The afternoon with her pets.
02:51And the evenings chilling out at her place.
02:56Cheer up Tracey, it's going to be a nice sunny weekend.
02:59And we got it cheap because there's so many of us.
03:06Maxi, want to swap chores and change Ryan's quilt for me?
03:09No way, I've only got to feed a goldfish.
03:11I'll give you 20p on top.
03:14They don't like strangers.
03:16What?
03:1850.
03:19OK, a pound and that's my last offer.
03:21It's a deal.
03:33Do you want to play?
03:34Sure.
03:39And it's a massive tournament. Me against Dad.
03:41One day when he's not busy.
03:44What about your mum?
03:45She's always working.
03:47Yeah, mine too.
03:50What's in there?
03:57My den.
03:59Wow, it's perfect.
04:03Spare room.
04:05Spare bed.
04:06For me, right?
04:07To stay over.
04:08Yeah, permanently.
04:10We can get your mum and dad to foster me.
04:13Wicked.
04:14I've got loads of scary movies we can stay up all night.
04:17Yeah.
04:20Weekends will be fab.
04:21You and me would have a great laugh.
04:23And we'll be just like one big happy family.
04:34But Trace, how are we going to persuade them?
04:36We need a plan.
04:37A cunning and devious beaker special.
04:41What are you looking at?
04:43Oh, Maxie, dirty boy.
04:45It wasn't me.
04:46Yeah, right.
04:47What are you doing?
04:48I swore up jobs.
04:50Come on, I'll do it.
04:51But you've got to do my chore and water all the plants.
04:56Okay.
05:00Right on time.
05:01Onions, quick.
05:03Oh, hi, Mum.
05:04Down for your coffee?
05:06Yes.
05:07That's nice.
05:08Thank you.
05:09Down for your coffee?
05:10Yes.
05:11That's nice.
05:12Work going okay?
05:14Don't ask.
05:16Oh, hello.
05:17Tracey, isn't it?
05:20Are you alright?
05:23It's alright, Tracey.
05:25You're here now.
05:27Whatever's the matter?
05:28Nothing.
05:29It's...
05:30The care home.
05:35They make us work from dawn till dusk.
05:38But don't worry, Mrs B.
05:40However badly they treat me,
05:42I'll never, ever let them grind my spirit down.
05:53Maxie, that's Louise's job.
05:56We swapped.
05:57Watch out.
05:58Give me that.
05:59No, I like doing this job.
06:01Maxie, come back.
06:03It must be really hard for them,
06:04being the only child.
06:05At the dumping ground,
06:06there's loads of kids to play with.
06:08At least I'm not to become
06:09an inadequate social misfit.
06:11Ben's okay, aren't you?
06:13Yeah, I'm fine.
06:15Apart from being worth it.
06:17I just know he'll have a brother or sister.
06:19I'm sorry, but you can forget it, Ben.
06:21I'm not going through
06:22all those sleepless nights again.
06:23Oh, yeah.
06:24Wouldn't it be lovely
06:25to skip all the hassle,
06:26just get an older child,
06:27say ten-ish?
06:30Do you want any sugar with that?
06:33Max,
06:34Maxie.
06:35Let me have it, Maxie.
06:36Okay.
06:40Organic cookie.
06:42Oh, thank you, Tracy.
06:44I'm fully house-trained.
06:46Oh, I wish I could say the same for Ben.
06:48I'm never any trouble,
06:49Jenny often says.
06:51Oh, very quiet.
06:52Where's Tracy?
06:53I'll be upstairs cleaning my room.
06:55Yeah, boys are always so messy
06:56and energetic, aren't they?
06:58I mean, sometimes I think
06:59it would be lovely
07:00to have a nice girl around the house.
07:02Consider it sorted.
07:04Pardon?
07:05I mentioned your name
07:06to my social worker.
07:07I'm sure she can pop round
07:08in the middle of the week.
07:09Oh.
07:11Oh, no, no, I meant...
07:13In the evening,
07:14if you're busy working.
07:15You're a very nice girl, Tracy, but...
07:17Of course, you do understand
07:18you can only have me temporarily.
07:20You do understand
07:21my mum will be coming
07:22to pick me up very soon,
07:23after she's finished
07:24making her film in L.A.
07:26I think I'd better go
07:27and answer that.
07:33Zorg!
07:34What's she done to you?
07:36I haven't done anything.
07:38You killed him, murderer.
07:41Don't need this.
07:43Don't like blue.
07:45And I don't want this.
07:48Hang on.
07:49There won't be room for it, Ben.
07:51Not after I've moved
07:52all my stuff in.
07:54Hi, Tracy.
07:55Are you ready?
07:57We're off swimming.
07:58Oh, lovely.
07:59Ben has his own pool,
08:00so he doesn't have to.
08:02He'll have to splash his way
08:03through all the unwashed oaks.
08:05Well, you'll have to come
08:06and have a swim here one day, Tracy.
08:07I'd love to, Mrs. B.
08:08Bye for now, Ben.
08:10See ya.
08:17Come on, Maxine!
08:18Bet you can't hide!
08:19Me? It wasn't me!
08:21I'll kill you, murderer!
08:23Nobody move!
08:25Justine, one more move
08:26and you'll be grounded.
08:28And where's Ryan?
08:30Come on, Ryan!
08:33Adele, as it seems
08:34that you and I are
08:35the only sane people
08:36left in this house,
08:37could you please explain
08:38to me what this is all about?
08:39Well, it's quite
08:40straightforward, Jenny.
08:41I was fed up with
08:42hanging out washing,
08:43so I swapped chores with Justine.
08:44And then Zach
08:45shredded the rubber gloves
08:46and I'd just done my nails
08:47and I didn't want to risk
08:48washing up without him,
08:49so I swapped chores with Ryan.
08:50And then, surprisingly enough,
08:51I didn't fancy stripping
08:52his bedsheets,
08:53so I swapped chores with Maxie
08:54and fed the goldfish.
08:56They do eat peanut buds,
08:57don't they?
08:58Anyway, it seems that Maxie
08:59had a little trouble
09:00with Ryan's quilt and Zorg,
09:01and so he swapped chores
09:02with Louise
09:03and watered the plants
09:05and the washing.
09:06And that's about it, really.
09:07Except Ryan's just
09:08smashed all the plates.
09:10Shall I pick you
09:11some more up in town?
09:16I left my stuff
09:17at the dumping ground.
09:18Oh, we can pop back
09:19and get it.
09:20What, I thought
09:21you wanted to go swimming?
09:22Look, Cam,
09:23I'm really going to have
09:24to think seriously
09:25about my future
09:26now I've got offers.
09:27Well, how do you mean?
09:29Well, you don't expect me
09:30to hang around all the time
09:31waiting for you to decide
09:32whether you're going
09:33to foster me or not.
09:35Look, these things
09:36take time, Tracy.
09:37You can't just dive in.
09:40Well, Ben's family
09:41are very, very interested
09:42in fostering me.
09:45And they've got
09:46stacks of money.
09:54I'll wait in the car.
09:56I can forget it,
09:57if you like.
09:58You dragged me all the way
09:59back from Ben's house
10:00for nothing.
10:01Well, it's up to you.
10:03Ben's mum's got
10:04a brand new Jeep.
10:09I'm going swimming with Cam.
10:13Great.
10:14Isn't it?
10:16Give this to Cam, will you?
10:17She couldn't get any in town.
10:19Thanks.
10:26Oh, I don't need them.
10:28I'm a fantastic swimmer.
10:30I love the water
10:31and I always win
10:32every swimming competition
10:33going.
10:34People are always asking me
10:35how I got so good.
10:40Um, they're not
10:41actually for you.
10:44You're not going to wear
10:45armbands, are you?
10:50I need to be able
10:51to come to this grotty pool,
10:52but you're doing your best
10:53to be a total embarrassment.
10:55I wish I'd have stayed
10:56at Ben's house.
10:57Yeah, well, maybe
10:58you should have then
10:59if that's how you feel.
11:00Because I don't live
11:01in a big fancy house
11:02and I definitely can't
11:03give you all the stuff
11:04that Ben's parents can.
11:06And what's more,
11:07I'm petrified of water
11:08and I'm only standing here
11:09with Maxi's armbands on
11:10looking like a right nana
11:11because I know
11:12you love swimming
11:13and I didn't want
11:14to let you down.
11:18Cam.
11:20Cam.
11:21You won't need
11:22the armbands.
11:23I've got a gold
11:24life-saving certificate.
11:28If you've got in
11:29any trouble,
11:30I'd jump in and
11:31save you straight away.
11:37You can count on me.
11:45We can stay
11:46in the shallow end.
11:53Yeah.
12:09So, I suppose
12:10you'll be going out
12:11with Ben's family
12:12then next week?
12:13I don't know.
12:14I'll think about it.
12:15Sometimes there are
12:16other things
12:17more important than money.
12:20So, you ready
12:21for the plunge then?
12:24I'm scared stiff.
12:26I'll look after you.
12:27Trust me.
12:28Come on.
