All language subtitles for 2Point4 Children s07e07 The Heart Has Its Reasons

You awake?

No.

Is it the last night we'll ever have
like this?

I know.

Like what?

All of us together in this house.

Jenny through there in the next room.

Tomorrow it'll all be different.

Does that mean we can... No.

What I mean is, this is the end of a
chapter in our life.

Oh.

This is it. The final part of bringing
up our daughter.

Tomorrow's the beginning of a whole new
era.

So we can.

That's all you can think about?

Well, yeah, mostly. Why?

Do you realise how important this moment
is?

How?

Our little girl.

Grown up.

Nearly a woman about to leave home.

She's so vulnerable.

So fragile.

Will you stop talking? I'm trying to get
some sleep before one of the most

terrifying days of my entire life.

Shut it down!

Can we have it now, then?

Good play.

Where do we go?

Hang on.

Excuse me.

Is this where the... where the students
live?

Thank God you've come.

The showers in this place are an
absolute disgrace.

How can't you do something about the
water pressure?

Just because we're students doesn't mean
we have to suffer terrible plumbing.

Oh, no, I'm not here on a job.

Middle -class prats.

This is obviously it.

Don't they teach you many manners at
those Tony Blair Poncy schools?

I thought you looked quite nice.

I don't want my daughter mixing with
people like that. People like what?

Middle -class wallies. You know what
happens if you marry one of them, don't

you? You don't have to turn up to
university in a van.

Yeah.

There's a man with a full desk in there.
Yeah, that'll be the warder.

Warden? I'll go and ask him.

That's what they have in prison.

Yeah.

This is it. We've got you on a list.
Let's get the rest of your stuff.

Got your room number yet? No.

Kirsty's on the second floor.

Perhaps you'll be near each other.

Perhaps.

Not sure about the area.

Rather unpleasant -looking types.

Let me out of here!

So long, Mummy.

Bye -bye. Bye -bye.

What do you think you're doing? Do you
want me to start my college life as a

social outcast?

What is going on?

Your daughter is ashamed of us. Oh,
yeah, like normal people arrive with

own toilet. There's nothing wrong with
that. Does anyone help?

Hi.

How much further is it?

Hey, Burnett.

Oh, probably your friend, Kirsty.

What have you got in these bags?

Red loin knickers?

And a poke.

Well, it could be very... with a few
things.

It's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fine,
it's fine. Well, go on, unpack again.

Plenty of space for your clothes.

Oh.

Oh, somebody must have left it behind at
the end of last term.

Yes.

Ah, here's the basin.

Here's the new washer.

Daddy.

So where's the, uh... Well, perhaps you
should bring one out from the van.

No big deal.

Oh, this looks like it could be it.

Oh, hi.

Hi. I'm Keith Burnett.

Ah, Jenny Porter.

Would you like to put on a dressing
gown?

No, I lost it last term.

I'd been to the shower and I'm trying to
get my hair back to normal.

Well, I've got a hairdryer if you want
to borrow it.

Oh, yeah, well, that'd be... Great.

What are you doing in here?

That's my room through there.

What? Yeah, it's an old door.

I was supposed to lock it with your key.

Here's the hairdryer. Oh, right on.

Thanks.

Well, good boy.

Oh, yeah, yeah, totally, totally.

Well, I'll see you around.

Probably.

Give me that.

Oh, Dad.

I can push this up again. Why?

Why? There's a naked boy in the cupboard
and you're... me why?

Ben, it'll be fine. She's not a child
anyway. The door's locked. Jenny's got

key. The only one who can unlock it is
her.

Right. What?

Don't worry. He's not that type.

Oh.

Well, I suppose you'll both be going
now.

Oh.

Yes, I suppose we will, won't we? Well,

bye then, Mum.

Bye. Bye,

Dad. See you soon.

I'm emotional about it.

Well, you know, she's grown up.

Yeah. Don't need us anymore.

It's so fine.

It's nice round here.

I mean, they... Get out of here!

What do you think you're doing?

No, you don't.

Wait!

grow tapes.

Cheap rubbish anyway.

Hey! I'll pay ten quid for that and I
can't boot.

This was stolen once already.

What do you think you're doing breaking
into our van?

Nothing. Nothing?

We'll see if the police think it's
nothing, shall we?

The police?

All they can do is caution me. I'm not
old enough to do time.

Do you live round here? What if I do?

We're going to take a little trip to see
your...

Not yet. Coming.

I'm just moving some stuff around
upstairs.

Something I want to ask her.

Have you tried the mobile?

No.

Well, we'll see where they are.

Hello?

Who's that?

Why would I want to buy a date of the
quoting?

No?

Nowhere. Next left.

I thought you said it was near.

I'm sorry for what I did.

It was wrong. I feel like I'm going to
cough over here.

We're not angry with you. Yes, we are.

I just want to have a word with you.

Just get it.

Get

off!

Get off!

Let's go!

He's not going anywhere, Ben.

Yeah, I suppose so.

Let's go back and stop off and get
something to eat on the way.

Oh, all right.

I've got my wallet.

Sorry, it's only fish paste. We were
going to stop off and get something.

You must have taken it when I first
grabbed him.

Have you tried ringing your mobile
again?

It's probably de -chipped by now.

You know, I'm almost glad I was too old
to adopt.

They might have grown up like that.

Not them, it's the parents.

I suppose that's Fatter's fault as well.
Well, it is.

She made everybody selfish.

Never mind whether you can give your
kids a decent upbringing, just have them

because you want one.

Who cares if you're some bubble -brained
slapper who has a different man every

week?

I didn't mean you, obviously.

Oh, thanks.

I can't go on like this. Somebody should
do something. What can you do with kids

like that?

Lock them up.

What would that do? Well, it'd keep them
away from my car radio for a start.

What happens when you let them out
again? I wouldn't let them out. What,

lock up ten -year -olds? What difference
does it make? Ten -year -olds? Five

-year -olds? I don't like to look at
some babies.

Thank you, King Herod. No.

No, what you want is one of those
things, those... What are they called?

they have to come home at a certain time
and spend the whole evening inside with

their families.

A marriage.

that goes flapping about the marshes.

That's a curlew.

No. Hang on, I know this one.

A curlew is one of those twiddly -widdly
bits at the end of a signature, you

know, like Elizabeth R.

That's a curlicue.

A curlicue? Nothing's called a curlicue.
Yes, it is. Steve Davis uses it for

trick shots round the corner.

Doesn't matter what it's called. How is
a curlew going to stop kids thieving?

What, a little bird?

and rob people during the day like they
did us. That's true.

Knock them out.

You don't really mean that. Well, what
would you do?

Well, all most of them need is security.

Well, that's what I said.

What I mean is a proper home life.

What sort of proper home life? Well, a
stable family like this.

This? Yes, somewhere where people
respect and care about each other and

one another.

Where do you think you're going?

What rubbish? Bring it over here.

Nothing. Just stuff we don't need
anymore. Let me see.

Mrs Jenny.

Say this.

She doesn't need them now.

It's all her stuff.

There isn't enough space in her room.
Yes, there is.

And which room would that be?

The one in the back.

You just move all your things right back
to where they came from. Oh, Mum. I

mean it.

Yeah, she's right. You've got a nerve.

Thank you.

I've got dibs on that for a games room.

I can't believe my ears. Jenny's only
been gone an hour and a half and you're

fighting over her room.

So why is there a sewing machine on her
table?

I just wanted to see what it looked
like. You wanted it yourself.

I wasn't going to use it immediately.

Well, I may as well get going.

You see? Now all this selfish
behaviour's embarrassed Rona.

I was hoping to persuade you to let me
put some of my junk up there.

It's not the same. We're supposed to
care about people here. Treat them like

human beings.

Now's your chance.

Is this him?

Yes.

I'll leave you to it, then.

Well, you'd better come in.

David. I know. Put it all back.

So.

I left a guess for lying about your van.

You ought to be more careful.

Well, you found us.

Ha! Not so sharp as you thought now, are
you? Fell right into our trap.

Oh, yeah?

Good trap.

You wait at home till the purse hammers
are coming in, jump up and lock the

door. What is that?

My wallet.

Oh, don't say thanks.

Well, why should I? You nicked it in the
first place.

What point is that? So?

He didn't have to do this, Ben.

Oh, and I'm supposed to be grateful?

Well, I think it's showing some kind of
conscience.

Is it?

Isn't it? No.

Well, maybe.

I think under the circumstances, you
might apologise.

I agree.

Me? What have I got to apologise for?

Not appreciating what he's done for you.
You what?

Well, he didn't have to bring it back.
He could have just kept it.

Yeah, all right. I suppose you did the
right thing.

Thank you.

Hang on, there was 40 quid in here.

I got a taxi.

You got a taxi from the East End?

Well, what do you want me to do, walk?

You could have taken public transport.

Have you seen the villains who travel on
public transport?

I could get robbed.

I can't believe this. 40 quid on a cap.

It's going to make a seat out of 55.

Thank you.

Yeah, like you do clever thing around to
the tax man.

Yeah, well, we're not talking about me.
What about my phone and my tapes?

I didn't take them. What's on me to do
about that?

Well, you could tell us your name.

Declan. Well, Declan, are you going to
tell us why you decided to bring that

wallet back?

I don't know.

Did your parents find out?

Huh? What?

Parents. Do they know you've wandered
halfway across London today?

No.

Well, I think I'd better ring your mum
and let her know where you are, don't

you?

Oh, not quite so cocky now, are we?

Shut up!

Yeah, well, mention it to your mum and
you're not such a big man, eh?

What does she do, give you a good
telling off?

I don't know where she is.

What do you mean you don't know where
she is?

I don't.

Why not?

When did you last talk to her?

When they took me away from her and put
me into care.

When was that?

She's a stupid cow, right? She wouldn't
give a toss where I was now any more

than she ever did. I don't know what
bloke she's shacked up with any more

anyway. Probably still the one that
knocks me about so much I'll forget it.

I have.

So, um, you were in care?

If you could call it that, that's why I
split for London and I'm not going back.

So where are you living?

Here and there. But who's looking after
you? We look after each other.

Oh, what, you mean the other lads, the
ones who nicked my phone?

I don't have to answer all this. You got
your wallet back, now I'm going.

Uh -uh -uh. Aren't we forgetting
something, like what I've got in here?

Oh, no.

You mean this.

How did you get that?

Come here!

No, I'm not keeping it.

Declare. What?

I don't suppose you'd like a sandwich
before you go, would you?

Sandwich? I just made them, see?

Fish paste, I can nick... Better than
that from Mark. Is that the best you can

do? You should be grateful we're
offering you anything.

Thanks, but you don't have anything you
don't want.

What about a shower?

What? A real shower?

Dad's a plumber. We've got a power
shower, right?

Practically knocks your head off.

I've never had a shower.

Never had a wash by the smell of you.

Well, you're not supposed to do that,
then.

All right, all right. Is the water
really hot?

Be our guest.

You don't mind?

Of course we don't. Do we?

Top of the range model.

Then I'll have a go.

All right. Come on. I'll show you where
it is.

Thanks. Right.

What are you doing? Finding the police.

They can't do anything. He's underage.
They can find his mother.

Oh, yes, and get him hit by her
boyfriend again.

More social services, then. They'll be
gone home for the weekend.

Well, who am I supposed to phone?

Philip Schofield at Talking Telephone
Numbers?

There isn't anyone to phone that can
possibly do any good right at this

Well, what are we supposed to do?

Has the mobile phone account cancelled?

Ben? No.

Haven't said anything yet. We can't keep
him.

Apart from anything else, it's probably
illegal.

So you were thinking the same thing,
though? What if I was?

No, you're right. It's impossible.

It's going to be cold out tonight.

Is it?

Probably below freezing.

Yes.

And Jen's room is empty.

I know.

Have you ever read The Little Match
Girl?

What? My mum used to read it to me. It's
all about this poor little match girl

left outside. So she strikes all her
matches one by one until, eventually,

dies. Well, I'm not surprised if you're
an heavy smoker.

It must have kept her warm. It was very
sad.

What about Oliver?

What about him?

Well, Nancy hadn't rescued him in time.

He'd end up like the artful Dodger,
stealing for a living and being like

What, living with Hattie Jake?

He's trying to cheer him up.

You've left him on his own, have you?
He's on my PC.

He can wipe the floor with me on Mortal
Kombat.

Must spend half his life hanging around
amusement arcades.

It's a pity we can't let him stay with
us.

What's the matter?

Declan, will you come and sit down here
with us for a minute? We want to have a

talk with you.

I haven't done anything.

I didn't say you had. We just want to
talk to you.

We'd like to know what your plans are
now that you've had your shower.

I don't know.

Only, we think it's time you stopped for
a minute and thought about your future.

What future is that?

Well, I don't know where you're sleeping
at the moment, but is it warm?

And is it safe?

It's all right.

And these people you hang about with, do
they look after you? Yeah.

Oh, so that's why they ran off and left
you in our van.

You see, we all think you deserve a
better life than that. I'm not going

Arlo. You don't have to. On Monday, we
can go to social services and see about

trying to find you a proper home.

Loads of people want to be foster
parents.

I'm sure there's someone right now who
wants another child in their house.

Someone to look after.

And for the rest of the weekend, you can
stay here with us.

What? In this dump?

What? Well, look at the stirrups. At
least three years old.

That was expensive.

It was only a joke. I didn't mean it.

Oh. Well, hilarious.

So you'll stay?

Mum, it's me.

Hello. I just wanted to say I'm all
unpacked and thanks for bringing me.

all right.

And don't worry, nobody's going to be
coming into my room in the middle of the

night. I know.

I've got to go.

Love to Dad.

Yeah, thanks for ringing. Bye.

Jenny sends her love. Come on, then.

I'll play you on some beanies.

You're a rubbish and mortal convert.

Oh, yeah.

I bet you're rubbish at that as well.
Come on, then.

I'm definitely going to beat you. I'm
going to beat you to the pieces.

I hope we're doing the right thing.

What time is it?

Oh, quarter to eight. I'd better get
going.

Going to wake up Declan?

No.

I think I'll let him have a night in.

Ben!

Right, right.

What? We've been burgled.

I knew it. No, don't jump to any
conclusions.

Declan!

Oh, no.

The stereo's gone.

The new TV.

He's gone.

They've even taken the hoover.

He's gone in my puffer jacket.

Oh, wow, we've been turned over.

Declan's gone as well.

Oh, God.

Well, we really fell for that one.

I know.

How could you be so stupid?

I know.

What do you mean, how could I be so
stupid?

You were the one who wanted it to stay.
So did you.

No, I didn't. I was against it all
along.

No, my decimal's gone. I saved up for
that. It was mine. You gave it to me.

Yeah, but I saved up for it. Doesn't
matter who saved up for it. Oh, you're

right. It doesn't matter.

See, I thought, really, we should have
known we couldn't have trusted him from

the start. That kind of low life is just
the kind of life they deserve.

Because that's what they'll always be,
you know.

Scum. And nothing will ever change that.

Declan. When did you get my thing?

Oh, my God, what's happened to this
place? Oh, yeah, like you don't know.

been done.

It looks like a professional job.

What did you do?

Let your mates in when we dropped off?
No, I haven't even seen them since

yesterday. I don't even know where they
are. Yeah, but you told them you were

coming to this address, though, didn't
you?

No. Ben?

All part of the plan, was it? Making out
you're a decent kid after all. I think

I'd better... Hang on. I need him, Ben.

Yeah, after all, I was being scum.

The wind's getting up. Two inches of
snow forecast tonight.

Homeless people die on that, don't they?
Yes, all right. Make me feel good, why

don't you? I'm not blaming you.

Yes, we are. No, it's not his dad's
fault. He just blurted out the first

that came into his head before he'd had
a chance to find out what had really

happened.

The first stupid thing that came into
his head. It's all right, all right.

Oh, don't feel too bad.

After all, in the long run, what can you
do?

Well, we could foster a kid ourselves.

What?

Well, you said it yourself. What they
really need is a place like this.

Would you really do that?

Start all over again? It's a great idea.

But you'll have to try a bit harder to
keep him next time.

Sorry.

I haven't watched a fire like this in
ages.

I think it's more interesting than the
telly.

It's got more on it than Channel 5.

Remember those letters we used to write
to Father Christmas?

We'd spend ages making lists of what we
really, really wanted.

Then when we'd finished, we'd take it
over to the fireplace and send it up the

chimney. Then before you knew where you
were, it had happened.

What? Chimney fire.

Three fire engines, two ambulances and a
Catholic priest out there.

Now what?

I look so surprised.

You invited me.

You must be completely frozen.

Are you all right?

I had to find out a few things.

You left these in your mobile phone
cover.

Your business cards.

That's how they found the address.

Happy now?

Look, I'm... Yeah, I know. You didn't
mean it.

So where have you been?

Sorting things.

What's this?

You've been fighting?

Not really. It just took a bit of
persuasion.

What did?

You want your things back, don't you?

Yeah, so why?

One way or another, they'll be coming to
you.

Well, do I get any food in this place or
what?

Well, that depends.

On what?

Whether you wash your hands and face
properly.

Wash my hands? I only just had a shower
yesterday.

It's up to you. Do you want food or not?

This is the house of horror I've come
to.

Come on, Tyson.

Let's have a look at that cup.

And I'll show you the basin.

And it's no good just dirtying the
towel.

I remember that trick.
