When you were saying you missed me,
you really meant it, yeah? Yeah.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Who is that? HE SIGHS

Give me a minute.

KNOCK AT DOOR

I'm coming!

Bosco Champion?

No. No, you've got the wrong...

We're here from the KTS
debt collecting agency,

acting on behalf of the HMRC.

Unless you've got 30 grand, we're
here to recoup what you owe.

You can't be serious, man!

Unless you can pay us, we're here
to remove goods to the value.

You're... Get out! Just go!

Don't make this any
worse than it already is.

SHE LAUGHS Oh, my
gosh! This is mad!

Are you filming
me? SHE CHUCKLES

Hey, yo, delete that,
man! I said delete it!

All right, baby? Beat it!

HE CHUCKLES

Good afternoon,
beautiful people.

You're tuned in to
Champion Steady Radio.

This is Beres Champion

spinning your favourite reggae
tunes every day from 12 until two...

..coming live and
direct with pure vibes.

First up, one from the
classic rhythm selection.

You know what it is.

Jah Jah Why? By
Floyd Seivright

CLATTERING Oh, for... sake!

Lord God, Aria, take your
head out of the oven!

Please! Things can't be that
bad, surely. Cooker's gone.

Let me take a look.

Oh!

I swear, if it's not one thing
with this place, it's another.

Well, aren't you lucky
that you've got me here...

♪ To fix it all for you? ♪

THEY CHUCKLE

I'm going to have to
go and talk to big boss

about getting a new one. You're
forgetting I'm here, Aria.

Every time something
happens in this place, it's,

"Big boss this, big boss that."

He co-owns the place. There's
nothing we can do about it.

Not for now, anyhow.

They're sending a car for me.
It's mad. Don't f*ck it up, then.

I'll see you and those
dimples tonight, yeah?

Maybe tomorrow cos I'm
about to be really busy.

All right. Well, I'm
sure you could fit me in

that busy, busy schedule
of yours, huh? Huh?

See you later. Yeah?

And we'll tell Bos,
yeah? Yeah, we'll see.

Can you come on? I need you to help me out
in the kitchen. Sorry, Mum. I'm not staying.

I just needed to check you
was all right before I...

Check if I'm all right?

You've got a shift to do and
this place is falling apart.

I said I was going
to the studio.

What you on about? I
literally said that yesterday.

Mark booked it for me.

Mum, this was so
exciting... Exciting?

So, instead of
supporting your family,

you're going to go
off and have fun? Fun?

This is an opportunity.

How can you help me if you're
mucking about in a studio?

My car's here. Thanks
for your support.

What do you mean,
"My car's here"?

All set, Ms Champion? Mm-hm.

Yeah, I spoke to your
building manager earlier.

Let's just say he's not interested
in taking promises as payments.

It's not good, is it? No,
Dawn, it's not good at all!

How has this happened?

This is going to sound
a lot worse than it is,

so please bear with me,

but you are presently bankrupt.

So, who's been watching my
money whilst I've been away?

Well, your dad's been keeping
an eye on your finances,

but you don't know
the cost of everything

he had to pay for
when you went into...

Look, at least
there's a way forward.

The label will get your single,
we'll get you out on tour,

and - boom, bam - everything
back to normal, Bos.

It's not as easy as that, man.

I can't just drop a new
single out of nowhere.

You used to deliver hits in
your sleep. What's changed, eh?

Listen, you better get
working on that single,

and make it a banger, yeah?

Cos we're all counting on you

cos there's a lot of people waiting
to get paid, Bosco, me included.

Oh, and listen, yeah?
One more thing...

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

WHITE NOISE BUILDS

This place is the business, V.

All the greats
have recorded here.

Now it's your turn.
This is insane.

Beautiful, isn't it?

It's all for you.

You should see some of the
studios Bosco records in. Yeah?

Well, today's not
about Bosco, OK?

OK. OK. Let's jump
straight in, shall we?

You know Laurent -

best sound engineer
this side of the river.

Laurent, are you ready? Always.

OK, great. Let's get
her set up in here, OK?

Erm, Mark, I've been thinking.

I just wanted to talk to
you about... about the song.

Erm, it's not...
It's not very me.

Erm, and I'm not really,
like, one of those, erm,

sexy kind of girls.

Don't overthink it, OK?

OK. OK, Laurent, you ready?

BACKING TRACK CONTINUES PLAYING

I'm sorry, but these
lyrics just aren't me.

I'll try again in a
second, but I just can't...

Hey, hey, hey, don't worry.
You're doing great, all right?

All the ingredients are
there. Just... I don't know.

Just try and go with it a bit more.
But, Mark, the thing is, I just...

Listen, V, if we can
get this out this week,

then we're eligible for
New Music Friday, OK?

Then we sh**t the video.

By that point, everyone's
going to know who you are.

Yeah, but, Mark,
this is fake, OK?

And most artists, they blow
because what they're singing about,

or rapping about, feels real.

Listen, Vita, we all have to put on
a bit of a mask in this industry,

compromise a little.

You're just going
to have to trust me.

All right, let's...
let's have a break.

PHONE RINGS She's just got
to try a bit more, man.

All right, I've
got to take this.

Yo. No, I'm at the studio.

How's it going,
mate? Not well.

All right! Mm! That good?

Yo! But make sure you
don't eat too much, though.

Please! You can't even
afford to look at me.

What you saying, babe?

Hey. And how is my
favourite barber?

You all right, Honey?

You know the work I put in
to get into that studio.

And not only does she come in and
take my whole thing away from me,

she acted like it was
making her sad to do it.

SHE SCOFFS

Look, it's cool if
you're not at a place

where you can be happy for her

or whatever, but...

..you need to let go of this.

I can't go back
to Lorenzo's, Tay.

When I left, I told that man
to shove his mic up his mum.

TAYO CHUCKLES

Oh, he's forgiven
you before, Honey.

He'll forgive you again.

You're the best singer
that place has ever seen.

You feeling good
otherwise, though?

I know what'll make me
feel better. Honey...

..come on.

You know I'm seeing
someone. Hmm.

Yeah, but is she as good with
her hands as I am, though?

No comment. THEY LAUGH

Yo. You OK?

So, what, like, are you
used to harder bars, yeah?

Erm, yes.

Ah, sorry.

I didn't know I was talking
to the female Giggs. Right.

Listen, yeah? Mm-hm.

Basically, not only do
I write my own stuff,

but I write most
of Bosco's, too.

That don't leave this room.

Wait, you being for real?

I know.

Meant to be some global
superstar, Bosco Champion,

and he needs his little sister to
write most of his songs for him.

I mean, he's a performer.
OK, sure. Great.

But he ain't a lyricist.

What, you think he wrote a
song about the beauty and power

within black women? Please!

He must have really done
something to piss you off, innit?

I'm not sure I'm going to
make it, mate, to be honest.

I'm not even surprised he's
scared about his little comeback.

Hold on one second.
Hold on one sec.

He's a selfish prick

who relies on his little
sister to write his songs.

Yeah. His sister!

Songs that she doesn't even
get thanks or credit for. Yeah.

Ever since we were kids!

Sorry. No, that's cool.

I just swear that guy knows how
to rile me up like no-one else.

Look, all this talk about you
being your brother's barsman,

I ain't hearing
anything from you.

Forget what Mark
wants for a sec.

Why don't you...

..sing something that's yours?

Really? Really.

OK. Yeah? Yeah,
let me get into it.

Yeah, let me just clear
the space for you.

DOOR OPENS

Sorry. I was just
playing about. You ready?

Did you write that? Erm, yeah.

I wrote it ages ago for me and Honey
to sing when we were, like, 15.

That's the single. It's perfect.

Huh? No, no.

I can sing something else.

Why would you sing anything
else? That track is golden!

Laurent, reload that. No, I'll
have to check with Honey first.

Hey, V, it's perfect.
Same again. Yes!

BOSCO SIGHS

Got to pack the rest
of my stuff, innit?

What, you've got to leave
this place, as well?

Yo, obviously, I'd say you
could come stay with me,

but it's just all a
bit close right now.

My brother's wife has just
moved in and... It's calm, bro.

Don't worry about it.

I've got to ask a
question, though.

I need to make this new track.

Well, boy, you better get on
the phone to V, then, innit?

All that chat, man...

I've got to make this track
and go back out on tour...

..all the old stuff, and
I'm going to need a DJ.

A tour?

You just got out of pen. You should
be going to see your daughter.

That's what you should be doing.

Bos, I want to...

I want to chat to you about a couple of things. I've
got to get my money back up, man. Don't you see this?

They took all my sh*t! I
just... I don't know, man.

Like, you know I would, but
I've got bookings and that now.

Yeah, yeah, man, we know.

It'll be like old
days, man. Come on!

You're really telling me you don't
miss it, bro? The freedom, the gyal.

Huh? Hmm?

Bro, you're moving
like a virgin.

What, you cuffed up or
something now? No, man.

You've got to apologise
to her, you know? To who?

Who do you think? To Vita.

Blud, what's it to you?!

Who's going to write
the single you need?

She's already writing
for herself, bro,

and that prick Bulla.
What, you forgot?

I don't need her.

BOSCO TUTS AND SIGHS
I'll do it myself, man.

Whoa, Giggs!

All this talk about
you being nervous,

but you're k*lling it.

I just never knew it
could feel so good, innit?

Well, it sounds as good
as it feels for you.

Who messaged you to change
your mood like that?

You got a man keeping
tabs on you or something?

No, no, it's nothing like that.

I'm going to head back
inside, yeah? Thanks.

MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY

That's the last one.

Why? Are you sure you're sure?

I have never known a man with a
collection like yours, you know.

Yeah, well, Glenn, better take it
before I change my mind, you hear?

Me hear that.

Do I need to count it? No.
You know where me live.

GLENN CHUCKLES

Look after them, yeah?

My babies now. My
turn. My babies now.

Are you going to be good?

Why are you here?

Shouldn't you be looking

I'm here to support you.

Wait, what? Support me?

Or watch me make a

Always finding the negative,

I don't need you to

Yikes! Yeah, we need to talk.

We're from the KTM debt collecting
agency. Get out! Just go!

Yo, delete that, man!
Unless you've got 30 grand,

we're here to

You can't be serious, man!

I said delete it! Get out!

Bosco?

You all right?

Look, I came home as
soon as I heard. I...

I didn't know. I've
been busy all day.

It's going to be
fine, you know. Is it?

They want me to do
a whole tour, man.

Look, I know you want to go,

but I think you should
tell them you can't.

I don't think you're
ready right now.

I don't think that's an option.

All right. Well,
we'll figure it out.

But remember what
I always tell you -

remember who you are.

This is only temporary.
We've been through worse.

We'll get through this.

So, why are you doing
all this to me, then?

Forget it.

Yo, people!

You know what time it is
tonight? The big Bulla show.

We've got a special
guest, as well.

We've got Vita Champion on the
show, Bosco's little sister.

He ain't going to be
too happy about that.

Bosco, if you're a bad boy,
then come do something.

Make sure you're there. Pow!

SIZZLING Flip's
sake, man! Come on!

Dumb thing's not

Mm! What we having, Chef?

What's up?

Nothing. Well, that's
not true, is it?

Talk to me.

I've been asked to
perform tonight.

That's great, isn't it? Is it?

I just feel like it's another
way for me to piss people off.

Honey's not going to like it.

Bosco's definitely not going to
like it. No, no, no, stop it.

Stop thinking about whether or
not other people will like it.

Do you like it?

Well, obviously,
I'm kind of nervous,

but it's kind of cool, too.

Well, there you go, then. So, what, you want me and
your mum to come and see you? Yeah, no, thank you.

Why don't you go upstairs

and try your new uniform
on and show Daddy?

Hmm? Yeah. Yeah?

See you!

So, when's her first day
at this new school, then?

Not next Monday, but
the Monday after, Bos.

I told you last week.

You need to remember these
things without me reminding you.

She needs you to show
up. I know. I know.

Look, if you need to borrow
any money... No, man.

Don't worry. I'm sorting it.

A tour. You're joking! When?

End of next week.

SHE LAUGHS

Oh, it's always about you, Bos.

It's no wonder Vita's
doing her own thing.

Oh, she can do her little
music ting if she wants.

"Little music ting"?

Performing with Bulla doesn't look
very little from where I'm standing.

Mark told me tonight's show
sold out in ten minutes.

What show?

Oh, what, you didn't know?

No.

Here!

Look at Daddy's big girl!

Global superstar Bosco Champion,

and he needs his little sister to
write most of his songs for him.

What, you think he wrote a song

about the beauty and
power within black women?

At least Bulla's
not a selfish prick

who relies on his little
sister to write his songs.

Songs that she doesn't even
get thanks or credit for.

Yo, V. I didn't know
they was recording. V!

They set me up. Hey, hey!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

What? Get off me, man!

Can't believe this sh*t.

Hey, Vita!

Oh, domestics,
domestics, domestics.

Ah. Boy, am I glad to see you.

Today was just one thing after
another, honestly. Is that right?

Oh, you poor thing.
Yeah. Come here. Hmm?

Give me a kiss. Mm.

Turn around. No...
Hold on. My shoe.

Trust me, trust me.
Keep your eyes closed.

What are you doing? Back out fe
the door, come on. Oh, my God.

That's it. See it
there? All right? Mm-hm.

Now, you remember your
maths, yeah? Mm-hm.

OK, so 90 degrees
turn to the left. OK.

Oh, you remember! Good. Don't look
yet. Don't look. OK. Not looking.

OK, hold on, hold on.

Hurry up, now. Voila!

Now, now, it's not
new, but it works.

How did you afford
this? No mind that.

Open it.

Open what?

Oh, the oven. The oven.

THEY CHUCKLE

OVEN DOORS SQUEAK

Len... Aria.

Aria, look at me. Look at me.

So we've been together
for six years now, yeah?

CAR DOOR SLAMS We need
to talk about this!

And those have been the
best years of my life...

Don't chat with me ever
again in your life!

Lord have mercy! We'll
talk about this later.

Don't know how many
times I can say sorry!

For this, from the other day,

for doing anything you
don't want me to do.

Instead of always saying
sorry, why don't you just

flipping stop doing things
you have to be sorry for?

What does that even mean? Stop
this right now! Get in the house.

Don't know what explanation
you have for this,

but it'd better be a good one. Do
you want me to just sit in my room,

organising your life on my phone

and never leaving till
you say I'm allowed?

I've been doing that, Bos,
for a very long time! Yeah!

Look what happens when you
leave the yard, though.

Look what happens.

You're so dumb, bro.

You know you f*cked up,
right? You know that's not me.

I swear, I was just
talking to Laurent and...

Ain't gotta explain
nothing to me, Vita, yeah?

CAR DOOR SLAMS

Is what he told me true? Mum!

Quit trying to sit with
his girl, man. Vita?

I was in a studio and I
swear they were making me

sing a song that I hated, and I did
not know it was still recording.

When your dad
hears about this...

The Champion name is
everything to him!

I know what the Champion
name is, Mum, all right?

It was Mark - he was the one that
was trying to make me do the stuff.

You see how much trouble this
music business is causing?

It's enough now, Vita.

You don't want to work
for your brother any more?

Then you can take on some
more shifts at the restaurant.

I'm not going back to
the restaurant, Mum.

I'm not stopping my music
career before it's even started.

Really? You're
leaving my restaurant?

Well, you can leave my house,
too. What? You heard what I said.

Where am I going to go?

You're smart enough to chat your
brother's business behind his back,

then you're smart enough to
figure that one out for yourself.

Are you sure about this,
Aria? Out fe pickni!
