0:00:23 > 0:00:25What if that violence is still in me somewhere?
0:00:25 > 0:00:27You have got to stop beating yourself up
0:00:27 > 0:00:31so that we can move on and live our lives.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Fostering? You never mentioned it before.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Plus you and Will have just got back together.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Aye, but it feels like the right thing to do.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Well, good luck.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42I know I can make a real difference fostering,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45half the time these kids just need a bit of positive attention.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Or a spell in Polmont.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49This is my chance to make things right for a kid.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Just to let you know I got a call from the panel,
0:00:52 > 0:00:54and you were approved.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Oh, my God!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- Do you know what this is?- What?
0:01:00 > 0:01:02The start of everything.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Yeah.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38DOOR CLOSES
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Sorry for the short notice. Hi. Look, I won't keep you long.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44No, it's fine.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47You're probably guessing why I'm here.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48We haven't dared.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Well, I've got a child that needs a foster placement.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Just for a trial, just for the weekend.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56As in two days' time?
0:01:56 > 0:02:01Yeah, his name's Finlay Mackay, he's known as Finn.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03That's him there.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04He's 15 years old.
0:02:05 > 0:02:0715?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Finn was removed from his mum when he was only four years old,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12due to her addiction problems.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Sadly she passed away a year later.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16His father's unknown.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19He's been in the care system in London,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22and then after that in Glasgow from the age of 13.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Why the switch?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26His mum's from Glasgow.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30He's got an extended family here, he's got an older half-sister,
0:02:30 > 0:02:34who was adopted before his mum went to London.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36But Finn wanted to live here.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38So does he see much of them?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42No. It's a real shame.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Anyway, it's not an emergency, and I don't want to pressure you,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49but I just think a few days away would do him the world of good.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I mean, after that - who knows?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Why did his last placement come to an end?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Well, it can be for all sorts of reasons, on both sides.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Yeah, but why did Finn's?
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Well, due to a series of disagreements,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10he threatened his foster mum with violence.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13But he was reprimanded.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Oh.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Had he done anything like that before?
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Well, he's got his issues, the odd flare-up.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25But no, but nothing on that scale.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Why did you think of us?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I think he could thrive here.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36I mean, we won't know for sure until we try, obviously.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38He sounds like a handful.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Given what I know about you two, what you've overcome,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45I just think you'd be positive male role models in his life.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'm really fond of Finn.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52He's a really bright kid, but I'm running out of time to
0:03:52 > 0:03:54place him before he drops out of the care system.
0:03:54 > 0:04:00He'll probably end up in a B&B or hostel, unemployed,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02really vulnerable...
0:04:02 > 0:04:03No pressure, then.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I'm just answering your question.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I know. But this is huge.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Robbie, they're all huge. I mean, Finn's got a lot to offer.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16He just needs a chance.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23OK, look, have a think about it.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26If it's a yes then I'll set up a meeting with Finn tomorrow
0:04:26 > 0:04:28and you can decide from there.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30And if it's a no?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Well, you don't just get one chance.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Finn's a survivor. He'll be fine. Have a good night.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- See you later. Bye.- I'll see you out.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52I want to keep a clear head.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57What do you think?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Finn. Cool name.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06He does sound a bit wild. Threatening his foster mum, hello?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09But that's been dealt with.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12We don't know all the facts. So it's not fair to judge.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Suppose. I'm disappointed.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Can I just say that out loud?
0:05:18 > 0:05:22It's not exactly the cute wee lassie we had in mind.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Maybe we shouldn't have let ourselves imagine.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34What am I going to do with a teenager?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36You've at least got experience from work.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38This is different, though.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42This will be our foster son, in our home.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Who am I kidding?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48The only experience with kids I have is pulling
0:05:48 > 0:05:50funny faces down a webcam for Hayley's wean.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I think you'd be great, whatever age the kid was.
0:05:57 > 0:05:5815, though.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Most of the 15-year-old kids I see at work are beyond help.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07But with this one, we get a chance to make a difference.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I suppose there's no harm in seeing what he's like
0:06:11 > 0:06:13and deciding after that?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Are you kidding? There'd be massive harm.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19How could we look him in the eye and then be like...
0:06:19 > 0:06:20"Oh, I'm sorry, no, we'll pass."
0:06:21 > 0:06:25He could turn us down, too. I mean, we're all on trial.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Sandra did say we don't just get one chance.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29We're lucky to have one chance.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33How come that's the part that sits worst with me, that we get to
0:06:33 > 0:06:35select another child?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38But Finn, he does sound like a handful.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44WINE POURING
0:06:49 > 0:06:52So, do we meet him? Or not?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Yeah, aye, OK. That's fine, then.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Right, see you later. Bye.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19I've just told Kelly-Marie that I'm going to do the books at home today.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Hi, there.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Will, Robbie, this is Finn. - Finn Mackay.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35- I'm Will.- Nice to meet you.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'm Robbie. Hiya.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- You sit there.- I know the procedure, Sandra.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43You guys look more nervous than me.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Maybe we are.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Have you done this before?
0:07:46 > 0:07:47First time.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Wish it was my first time.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52It just never gets any easier, you know.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55If it goes well I get to call absolute strangers Mum and Dad.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Or Dad and Dad.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01How do you feel about that? Two guys?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Get to the point, why don't you?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Truthfully?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I don't know.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10It's different.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11But...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14..different's OK.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19So, what do you want to know?
0:08:22 > 0:08:23What do I need to know?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Well, I'm a hairdresser, I run a salon at the end of our road.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31And I'm a police officer. Sorry.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Sandra told me. Do you do car chases and that?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Occasionally, when we have to. Most of it's just procedure though.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I don't know no hairdressers.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Well, you do now.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I don't get to do car chases or anything like that...but
0:08:46 > 0:08:49believe me I've had some hairy moments!
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Oh, that was terrible, I'm sorry, I don't know where that came from.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55No, seriously, I love my job.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59I love running a business, meeting new people.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02There's loads of interesting characters round where we live, isn't there?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08So, have you got any questions for Finn?
0:09:08 > 0:09:13What do you like to do in your spare time? Hobbies? Pastimes?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Homework. Cleaning my room.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Serious?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23No just usual stuff. You know, sports.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Computers.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Football?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I don't like football.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Neither do I.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35What do you want to do when you leave school?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43It's fine, it's a big decision. Can't rush it.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48These meetings always suck.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Oh, sorry.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It's not you guys. I just don't want to say the wrong thing.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06So what happens now?
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- Well...- You go get some coffee and talk about me.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I stay here and talk about you.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14That's pretty much it.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19There's a machine down the corridor.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Any more questions?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Right, well, I'm going to have a chat with Finn
0:10:28 > 0:10:31and I'll talk to you later.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Nice to meet you, Finn.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Thanks, Finn. See you.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Already?- How is he?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57He's fine. He'd like to come for the weekend,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59if you're still keen to go ahead?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I take it that's a yes?
0:11:01 > 0:11:02It's a yes from me.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Right, well, I'll sort the details and give you a call later.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Great. Thanks, Sandra. - No problem.- Bye.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Cheers.- Cheers!
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I'll do what I can for you...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I'm sorry, mate! I sold it last week.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Right.- Look what I've got.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Is that from Mum?
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Finally!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Hey, steady.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's not my birthday so she must be coming over.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Please, please, please...
0:12:14 > 0:12:17A ticket for the Commonwealth Games netball final?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22What are you supposed to make of this?
0:12:23 > 0:12:28One ticket! Sitting on my own all day watching netball!
0:12:28 > 0:12:30If it's any comfort, I didn't get anything.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Maybe mine's still in the post.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33I don't get it.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Me neither. It is weird.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40This is so not Mum.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47I have nightmares about her dying. Never seeing her again.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Kirsty, don't make it any worse than it is. She's in Dubai.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52She's not dead.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Is it any different? We can't reach her.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59I know.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11It doesn't exactly scream party at mine, does it?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Not much we can do about it now.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18He'll have to take us as he finds us.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I wonder how he's feeling now.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25He was all confident at first, wasn't he,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27but by the time we left the interview room
0:13:27 > 0:13:30it's like his mask slipped. I felt a bit sorry for him.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34It's hard to imagine the life he's led.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Being shunted back and forward to that care home.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40He's never got a break. Wonder why him.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Well, we already know he's got a temper.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46There could be any number of other issues we don't know about.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48What have we let ourselves in for?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I guess we just prepare for the worst, and hope for the best.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Yeah. It's just two days. We can do two days.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Yeah, we just take it an hour at a time.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Right. What do we need? Food, obviously.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Yeah. And a plan.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07So, he comes in, we show him round - then what?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Lunch at the Tall Ship?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11What, as soon as he gets here?
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Why not? He might be a bit more at ease somewhere neutral.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Wouldn't the Oyster be better than the pub?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19No, no way, that's like a goldfish bowl.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21We really need to keep this low-key.
0:14:21 > 0:14:27Good point. OK, what else? He said he likes sport.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Why don't we take him to that indoor climbing centre - Hang Tuff?
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Do you think?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I've heard good reports.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Maybe. But don't expect to see me hanging off any ropes.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I have to keep reminding myself I chose this.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Yep.- Now it's real.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Uh-huh.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I just want to do this right.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Me too.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00INAUDIBLE
0:15:14 > 0:15:16No Rioja?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Not today, thanks.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19You's taken the pledge?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21We are getting...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Our friends' kids are visiting. Teenagers.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28We want to set a good example.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Teenagers don't want a good example. They want left alone. And pizza.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37They're teenagers, they're not aliens.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- There you go.- Thanks.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- You'll be fine.- Yeah, I know.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Right, number five.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Relax. Be normal.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47There's nothing normal about this.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49If we act nervous it'll make him nervous.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51We are nervous.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52DOORBELL RINGS
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Oh, God.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Hi.- Hiya.- Hi.- Come in.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27It's not much but we like it. Kitchen's there, TV.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Do you want me to take that?
0:17:28 > 0:17:29No, I'm all right, thanks.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I just need to go over a few things then I'll leave you to it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34OK, go for it.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I'll show you to your room. Just through there.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- Right...- Hope it's OK for you.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Bathroom's just there.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I'll leave you to unpack.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Take as long as you need.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29HE SIGHS
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Just one other thing.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Finn's not allowed any internet access at the moment.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Sure. What's the problem?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Just a bit of inappropriate use, nothing major.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Well, we've all been there.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Right, well, we're done.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Here he is. Are you OK?
0:18:56 > 0:18:57- Yeah, I'm fine.- Good.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Right, I'll leave you to it, all the best.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Shall I show you to your car?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Yeah... That's a good idea.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Look, I'm on call for all three of you,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13so don't hesitate to contact me.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Thanks for everything, Sandra.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16No problem.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27INAUDIBLE
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Is he upset?
0:19:31 > 0:19:36Can't tell. Looks like Sandra's giving him a pep talk.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Looks pretty intense.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Changed his mind?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41What if he jumps in that car
0:19:41 > 0:19:44and tells her to floor it back to the care home?
0:19:46 > 0:19:47You'll be fine.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Come on. I'm taking a risk on you.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52The rest is down to you.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55I know. I'll be OK.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00You've got my number. So, go and enjoy your weekend.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I'll see you later.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03- I will. Bye.- Bye.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08CAR ENGINE STARTS
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Are you OK?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I'm still fine. You asked two minutes ago.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28You can never be too careful.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Right, well, make yourself at home.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36If there's anything you need, just ask. Is there anything you need?
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Maybe some lemonade?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Do you know what? We got everything but.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Don't worry.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Tell you what, we'll pick some up when we go out later, eh?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Great. What shall I call you guys?
0:20:50 > 0:20:54We hadn't even thought of that. Dad one and Dad two?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Maybe just Robbie and Will's fine.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Whatever.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02OK, well we've got a few things planned.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06We thought we'd go out for lunch first, and then we could show you round the area?
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Hold on!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Today's about you - is there anything you want to do?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I don't mind.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Pub lunch? Chill out here?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Either or.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Pub lunch, then. - Will you guys buy me a pint?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- No.- No.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Fair enough.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Come on, let's go.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37You must be used to all these getting-to-know-you chats.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Suppose. It's different every time, though.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44How many foster homes have you been in?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Can't remember.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52What were they like? I mean, if you're all right talking about it.
0:21:53 > 0:21:59It's fostering, so you get used to the whole temporary idea.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02It's not like adoption.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05And adoption...
0:22:05 > 0:22:07You can forget it.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Once you're more than four or five years old, that's it, mate.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Care home for you, pal.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Have you got any pals there? In the care home?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19There's Blair, he's all right.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26But it's a weird one, because we get fostered out at different times
0:22:26 > 0:22:29so we never know when the other one's going to come back or not.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Right, food.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Yeah. Order what you like, Robbie's paying.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42I'll have the burger and chips.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53INDISTINCT CONVERSATION
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Three burgers and chips, please.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I'm on my break, and it's dead over there, anyway.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Is that the teenager you've got staying with you?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Kind of...
0:23:04 > 0:23:08His name's Finn. We're fostering him this weekend.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Really?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11It was dead quick, only happened yesterday.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14How'd you find time to do that in amongst doing the books?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17It's just a trial. We're trying to keep this low-key.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19So, do we get an introduction?
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Hiya, Finn is it? How are you doing, son? I'm Scarlett.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30This is my daughter, Kelly-Marie.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Kelly-Marie works with me. And she's my pal. Wrong way round!
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Kelly-Marie's my pal, and she works with me.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Hiya.- Hi.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41You coming over to the salon after your lunch?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I wasn't planning on it.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I think you could spare five minutes, don't you?
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Always.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51We could shoot some hoops till you're done.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52There's a court just up the road.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Yeah, whatever.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Right, Ma, come on, I don't have much time.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Aye, all right, see you later, son.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Nice to meet you, ladies.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Oh, ladies! you'll need to watch this one.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I'm sorry I never told you, there hasn't been time.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Aye, cos sending a text takes hunners of time.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18I did give you a reference.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Can you give us a minute?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24So when were you going to tell me?
0:24:24 > 0:24:25It's just...
0:24:25 > 0:24:27We're trying to keep below the radar,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29we don't want to freak Finn out with loads of folk.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31I'm not "loads of folk".
0:24:31 > 0:24:32I know. But I'm up to high doh.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I don't want any questions, not even from you.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I just want to do this right.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39How can I help you if you don't let me in?
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Robbie, this is a really big deal.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42That's just it.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I didn't realise how big until I set eyes on him.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I see you with Cal and how easy you make it look.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Look,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56just be yourself and you'll be fine.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I can't believe our luck.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Look, why don't you go away and "shoot some hoops".
0:25:02 > 0:25:04That sounds like a dad thing to do.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Or I could put the kettle on and tell you the story so far?
0:25:07 > 0:25:08I'd like that.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- Oh!- Oh, dear! Oh, dear.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29THEY LAUGH
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Oh!
0:25:36 > 0:25:37FINN LAUGHS
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Yes!
0:26:29 > 0:26:30You forgot these.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I don't want them.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33It's from your mum.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35So?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37You could sell that ticket on.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39You want it? Take it.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Chuck the card.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44It's yours.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Everything all right?
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Yeah, fine.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Come on, let's go meet Robbie.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Oh, don't tell me I've missed the shooting of the hoops?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I'm a pure pro as well.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Right. Hang Tuff?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Eh? Oh, yes.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I've booked a session at the indoor climbing centre.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08What do you think?
0:27:09 > 0:27:10I've never done it before.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- You'll love it. - You can totally say no.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Is it dangerous?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18You wear a helmet and a harness. It's perfectly safe.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- TANNOY:- 'Staff Nurse Gray to reception, please...'
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Don't.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33It could've been his neck.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Thanks.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39At least it's not broken. Poor wean.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41I knew this was a bad idea.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Well, you never said.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Because, I didn't want to be the killjoy.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47You know everything about sport and teenagers.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49I wish you'd stop saying that.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Here he is.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57How is it?
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Not too bad. Just a bruise on my meta-something.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Does he not need crutches?
0:28:01 > 0:28:02He'll be fine.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06I'm really sorry.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08We never should have done that race to the top.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10I rushed the final move. It was my fault.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12It was not your fault!
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Look at your faces - I'm fine - it was a laugh!
0:28:15 > 0:28:17We thought we'd killed you for a minute.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Takes a lot more than that to kill me.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21You're going to have to try harder.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22You're a wee trooper.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- You going to carry me up the stairs? - I'm a policeman, not a fireman.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54- Go on, I dare you.- No chance.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Come on, then. Take your time.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29Can I help you?
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Sorry, I didn't mean to give you a fright.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38I'm Murray, the centre manager.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Kirsty. I heard there was a drama group.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43I'm afraid the drama group only runs during term time.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45You'll have to wait till after the holidays.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Mind you, the way things are going we'll be lucky to have the Community Centre never mind a drama group.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51I wish we'd never moved here.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53Can't be that bad?
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Sit down a minute.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07You want to talk about it?
0:30:09 > 0:30:10I'm a good listener.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- Oh, hello, I hope I'm not interrupting.- Not at all.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Kirsty was just saying how little there is to do around here.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Kirsty, this is Liz.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25I know. Hi, Mrs Hamilton.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Little to do? Honestly, you young people.
0:30:28 > 0:30:33When I was your age, there weren't enough hours in a day.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Now, these are for the planning meeting.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38So, will you make sure they're prominently displayed?
0:30:38 > 0:30:39Will do.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44In fact, why don't the pair of you distribute some of them outside?
0:30:44 > 0:30:47I'd do it myself but I've got to get back to Malcolm.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48No, thanks.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Uch, away you go.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54You'll get rid of them no time, pair of fit young things like you.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Word to the wise - I say we do it.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Not many people refuse Liz.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Maybe somebody should.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07Treat yourself after?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Just these?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Be your good deed for the day.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13Yeah, OK.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15That's the stuff.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22We'll take a side each for maximum penetration.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Nobody leaves Montego Street un-leafleted.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Tell you what.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29There's another fiver in it if you're done before me.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51What are you doing?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53An old dear asked me to help out.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- Have you read this?- No.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03These are stirring up the bampot protesters trying to ruin me.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Our livelihood - our future - depends on this project going ahead.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07What's going on?
0:32:07 > 0:32:09You're some piece of work.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Dad! He was asked to help out too.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15I didn't know she was your daughter.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19She came in asking about drama classes. Which, thanks to you, may never happen again.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20She's helping with these. That's it.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24My daughter's got better things to do with her time than run errands for you.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25Sure about that?
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Dad, it's OK.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33If you want to litter the street with your pointless leaflets, go ahead.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35But never use my daughter again. Move.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- You're over-reacting.- I never overreact when it comes to my family.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49I should be doing that, you've got a sore foot.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- I like cooking.- Even so.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57At the care home, if I help the cook, I get off the dishes.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Same deal here.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02What's your favourite food?
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Everything. Just don't like mushrooms. Can't stand them.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18Anyway, at my last foster home, my mum made me
0:33:18 > 0:33:21clean everything off my plate, even the mushrooms.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27"If I cooked it, you'll eat it, you little sod."
0:33:35 > 0:33:37She never did.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40I don't like mushrooms, either.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42I mean, who really wants to eat fungus?
0:33:44 > 0:33:45It's way better here.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Listen, if you ever want to talk about any of this, you can.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58I'm OK. Where do you keep the pasta?
0:33:58 > 0:33:59I'll get it for you.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09TV ON
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Anything good on?
0:34:24 > 0:34:25I'm not really watching it.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28TV OFF
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Can I have a look?
0:34:54 > 0:34:55When did you get this?
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Yesterday.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Netball?
0:35:11 > 0:35:12That all she put?
0:35:22 > 0:35:24You have to stop wishing she'll come back.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Why? You do it too.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52TV ON
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Yeah. Think I'm going to go play the game player.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58You not enjoying the film?
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Film's fine.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05Can I have the wifi password?
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I'd love to say yes, but Sandra said no internet.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Finn, we'd like this weekend to
0:36:15 > 0:36:18be about getting to know each other, spend some time together.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Just to chill out and play a few games.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22We've already tried to kill you today.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24So, we don't want any grief from Sandra as well.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25Don't tell her.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Oh, right, cos lying's the answer.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Can you not play offline?
0:36:31 > 0:36:32It's crap offline.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Sorry, mate, it's a no.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Just hang in there, I'm sure she'll let you back online soon enough.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12That's Finn's. Put that down!
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Just checking to see if it's wifi enabled. It's pretty basic.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16Forgot my phone.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19What are you doing? That's mine.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- I was just going to bring it through to you.- Give it here!
0:37:23 > 0:37:25I wasn't looking at it.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27You shouldn't have touched it.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29I was just checking the wifi.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Actually, you know what? Just finish what you were doing.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Finn, I told you. I wasn't going through it.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37OK, guys, let's just calm down?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41Go on, look, there's my contacts - Sandra, the care home.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Actually, do you want to see my texts as well, yeah?
0:37:43 > 0:37:45I don't want to see your texts.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46Why not? Everyone else does!
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Finn, just come back!
0:37:58 > 0:37:59DOOR SLAMS
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Don't go in there!
0:38:03 > 0:38:04KNOCK ON DOOR
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Finn, you've got it all wrong, Will wasn't prying.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09Leave me alone.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11I just want to clear the air.
0:38:11 > 0:38:12Are you deaf?
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Get out of my space!
0:38:21 > 0:38:23What did you have to go and do that for?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25He was upset. I reacted.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27That's always your problem - you don't think.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29I was trying to fix your mess.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30By invading his privacy?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Nice. Coming from the guy who was caught using his phone.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36And why did you have to bring Sandra into it?
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Why not?
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Because this is our home, Finn's meant to be our family even
0:38:40 > 0:38:43though it's just for one weekend. Sandra shouldn't come into it.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Oh, right, so I'm supposed to make something up?
0:38:45 > 0:38:47I didn't say that, don't twist things.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50But now he'll think we're ganging up on him. No wonder he kicked off.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54So it's my fault? You're good.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57He kicked off because you got caught using his phone.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- Oh, stop it!- It's true! I got the brunt of it but it's your fault.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04MUFFLED: Right or wrong, I'd never leave an unhappy wean to stew by himself.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Sometimes you have to. He got a fright.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08We all got a fright!
0:39:14 > 0:39:17..Oh, thanks a bunch. Phone-hacker.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Where are you going?
0:39:19 > 0:39:20Get a drink.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Don't turn your back on me. Will? Will!
0:39:22 > 0:39:23DOOR SLAMS
0:39:51 > 0:39:52Night, Finn.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Our first day of blissful parenthood.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23What a fiasco.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Do you reckon he heard us?
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I've no idea. Hopefully never heard anything.
0:40:38 > 0:40:39We were stressed.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40We were out of order.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44We'll speak to him tomorrow. Start afresh.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50I'm sorry.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Me too.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37CREAKING
0:41:39 > 0:41:40Did you hear that?
0:41:40 > 0:41:42What?
0:42:10 > 0:42:11DOOR SHUTS
0:43:27 > 0:43:28HE SIGHS
0:43:58 > 0:43:59I've shouted twice.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04Finn? Breakfast.
0:44:10 > 0:44:11Finn...
0:44:24 > 0:44:27Robbie. Subway guy saw him go in first thing.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30- Description matched, the limp and everything.- No way.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32Right, we've got to phone the police, it's in our protocol pack.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35I am the police. How stupid will we look if he wanders back in five minutes?
0:44:35 > 0:44:38You're worried about looking daft in front of the guys?
0:44:38 > 0:44:40No, I'm just saying we should think.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42Well, you can't stop me phoning Sandra.
0:44:42 > 0:44:43Course not.
0:44:45 > 0:44:49Sandra, hi, it's Robbie. Is Finn with you?
0:44:56 > 0:44:58Let's just calm down.
0:44:58 > 0:44:59How are we supposed to do that?
0:44:59 > 0:45:02You given us a wean to look after and we've lost him.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04What is the full picture here?
0:45:04 > 0:45:07OK, he got on the subway, right?
0:45:07 > 0:45:09Soon as it opened.
0:45:09 > 0:45:10Right, well.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13There could be a number of reasons - couldn't sleep,
0:45:13 > 0:45:15a wee adventure in a new place.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20How were things up until then?
0:45:20 > 0:45:22Pretty good. Well...
0:45:22 > 0:45:24He had a bit of an accident.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26We took him to an indoor climbing centre
0:45:26 > 0:45:28and he bruised his foot quite badly. He's limping.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30Right, well, these things happen.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32He seemed great about it.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35We had a bit of trouble with his game player thing.
0:45:35 > 0:45:36Right...
0:45:36 > 0:45:40And me and Will also had a couple of words at night,
0:45:40 > 0:45:42after he'd gone to bed.
0:45:42 > 0:45:46We were quite stressed out, I don't know, maybe he heard.
0:45:46 > 0:45:50Right, I take it you kept that hidden?
0:45:55 > 0:45:56OK, can we take a look?
0:46:01 > 0:46:02INAUDIBLE
0:46:10 > 0:46:13- Thank you for your help. - Sorry we can't help you.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40It's not the first time he's taken off.
0:46:40 > 0:46:44- What?- Well, he might be looking for his big sister.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47He's done that a couple of times before.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49The one that was adopted?
0:46:49 > 0:46:50Yeah. Catriona.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54You said there was no contact.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56Well, that's the problem.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59Finn's met her a few times when he was young but,
0:46:59 > 0:47:02Catriona's adoptive parents put a stop to it.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05So Finn was shut out?
0:47:05 > 0:47:07All he's got is a photo.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09He doesn't even know her last name.
0:47:09 > 0:47:10But you must do?
0:47:10 > 0:47:14Yeah, I mean she turns 18 next year,
0:47:14 > 0:47:19and she can contact him then if she wants, but for now - nothing.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21I think he struggles to accept it.
0:47:21 > 0:47:25No wonder. Why did you not tell us he runs off?
0:47:25 > 0:47:29- I just assumed he'd given up. - You still should've given us the full picture.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33Look Robbie, this is a trial weekend.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36You know, I've got a file on that boy that goes back 11 years.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38I mean, did you really want every detail?
0:47:38 > 0:47:40Hardly a detail.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43He's been online half the night.
0:47:43 > 0:47:44Chatrooms?
0:47:45 > 0:47:47And school websites.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51Searches for girls called Catriona in Greater Glasgow.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53That sounds like Finn.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Maps. Address finders.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58You can't just find a stranger's address online.
0:47:58 > 0:47:59You'd be amazed.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06..so down through the junction? Thank you so much.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Doesn't look like he's there.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17He took off in that direction about an hour ago.
0:48:17 > 0:48:18Let's just go.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23There's only one in that direction.
0:50:05 > 0:50:06Pull over! Pull over!
0:50:09 > 0:50:10Can you back up a bit?
0:50:24 > 0:50:25Finn, stop!
0:50:27 > 0:50:29Finn, come on, stop.
0:50:32 > 0:50:33Just leave me alone.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36- Come on, just let me help you up. - Leave me alone!
0:50:36 > 0:50:39Finn, come on, let's get you in the car, get your weight off that foot. You're hurt.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41We were worried sick about you.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44You just took off. We didn't know what had happened.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48Finn, we didn't know about your sister.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50It's hard for you, we want to help.
0:50:52 > 0:50:55No, you don't. You're just like the rest of them.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59I can look after myself. I don't need you.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01Or him.
0:51:02 > 0:51:06She can help! She can sort all this.
0:51:06 > 0:51:09Right, come on, let's get you back in the car.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16I just want to go back to my care home.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29So what now?
0:51:29 > 0:51:31Finn's safe for now. That's the main thing.
0:51:31 > 0:51:35I'll phone Sandra in the next day or two, see how he's getting on.
0:51:35 > 0:51:36What about us?
0:51:36 > 0:51:39Go back to work. Pretend it never happened.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43One day. Must be some kind of record.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45Don't.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48We meant well, did everything,
0:51:48 > 0:51:50read everything, it still blew up in our faces.
0:51:50 > 0:51:54Look at us. Let's face it, we're not cut out for fostering.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00I thought we'd make awesome parents. You especially.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02You care so much.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06What if they offered us an easier child?
0:52:06 > 0:52:09Not straightaway, obviously...
0:52:09 > 0:52:13Define "easier". Finn was great when he arrived, look what happened.
0:52:13 > 0:52:14What are we going to tell people?
0:52:14 > 0:52:16It's none of their business.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19Kelly-Marie and Scarlett have already met him. Can't see them dropping it.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22Tell them the truth. Didn't work out.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38I'll drop it off to Sandra tomorrow.
0:52:38 > 0:52:39DOORBELL RINGS
0:52:46 > 0:52:48- Talk of the devil. - I'm sorry to bother you.
0:52:48 > 0:52:50Have you come for his game player?
0:52:50 > 0:52:52No, not exactly.
0:52:54 > 0:52:55How is he?
0:52:55 > 0:52:59He's not great, I've had a long chat with him.
0:53:01 > 0:53:02He'd like to see you.
0:53:04 > 0:53:05He's downstairs in the car.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ran off.
0:53:29 > 0:53:32We appreciate you saying that.
0:53:32 > 0:53:36But you knew we'd never fostered before and
0:53:36 > 0:53:40when you took off - that was the worst thing ever.
0:53:41 > 0:53:45And we know we made mistakes. You got injured and I regret that...
0:53:45 > 0:53:49but running off, mate, that's over the top.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52I didn't do it to get at you.
0:53:55 > 0:54:01Sometimes, I don't think about how my actions affect other people.
0:54:05 > 0:54:09And then...when I heard you guys arguing, it was...
0:54:11 > 0:54:13I just bailed.
0:54:14 > 0:54:15Sorry.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17That wasn't against you.
0:54:18 > 0:54:21Still it's like... "Here we go again."
0:54:32 > 0:54:33Can I come back?
0:54:33 > 0:54:35Sorry?
0:54:37 > 0:54:38To stay with you?
0:54:40 > 0:54:44I'm sorry, Finn. How'd we know you'd not just run away again?
0:54:44 > 0:54:45I won't.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48Hold on a minute... Why? After all this?
0:54:48 > 0:54:50It's either here or the care home.
0:54:54 > 0:54:58I've never really had a family that's wanted me for keeps.
0:55:02 > 0:55:03Least worst option, hey?
0:55:06 > 0:55:08Yeah.
0:55:08 > 0:55:11When you come chasing after me in the street?
0:55:11 > 0:55:14I thought you were going to be really angry and mad.
0:55:14 > 0:55:16But...
0:55:19 > 0:55:20..you wasn't.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28This has been hard for us, Finn.
0:55:33 > 0:55:34Don't worry.
0:56:24 > 0:56:25Sorry to inform you that,
0:56:25 > 0:56:27despite our best efforts, the battle's lost.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29The Planning Committee gave the go ahead.
0:56:29 > 0:56:32We're having a party at the Community Centre this afternoon.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35- OK.- You should come along, bring your friend.
0:56:35 > 0:56:37What's the occasion?
0:56:37 > 0:56:39Life and death, Bob, life on the dole
0:56:39 > 0:56:41and the death of the Community Centre.
0:56:41 > 0:56:43Sounds like a brilliant laugh, eh?
0:56:43 > 0:56:45He's got the right idea.
0:56:45 > 0:56:46Yeah, a wee drink would be nice.
0:56:46 > 0:56:50It's not about my employment prospects. My heart's here.
0:56:50 > 0:56:52I was after something a bit stronger?
0:56:52 > 0:56:54Do you want to come back when you're a wee bit older.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57It's just I don't want to grass you up to Will and Robbie.
0:56:57 > 0:57:01I believe in de-mystifying alcohol for young people,
0:57:01 > 0:57:03taking away the forbidden fruit element.
0:57:03 > 0:57:05- Yeah?- Cheers.
