FAINT LAUGHTER
MAN: We're about ready.
WOMAN: Action!
# I used to sing sad songs alone
# Didn't need no-one else
# Never believed in myself
# Oh, I don't know where I let
my courage go
# You said I was a star
# No-one saw from afar
# Made me believe in myself
# And now I'm just a girl
# Deep in love, deep in love
# Yeah, there's something 'bout us
# Everything I need and I can't get
enough, enough
# You're my fire
Won't let you go
# You go
# You take me higher
# I lose control
# Control
# You're my fire
# Don't you know?
# You know
# You're my fire, baby
My fire, baby

Oi!

# It's like I was made for you... #
I'd die for you.

You're disgusting.

Anton, I am ringing
you for f*ck's sake.
Hmm.
WOMAN: Sasha, you better not be
smoking up there.
Sasha!
No, I'm not smoking,
thank you very much.
DAD: Sasha, didn't you hear what
your mum said?
Yes, I'm not deaf.
I said I'm not smoking.
DAD: She is.
Sing for them, babe.
I'm not singing.
You sing. My baby does...
My baby girl's a bad gyal singing.
Sing, baby.
# Get the camera out my face. #
THEY LAUGH
I'm not singing.
I told you.
Hey.
Last night was a lot.
I didn't feel well, so I came home
and went straight to bed.
I'm sorry for what I told ya.
But can we talk?
I would never look styling
like this, though.
I love this filter.
People at school will think you're
twins. Oh, twins. Did you hear that?
MWAH
Ew, you two are so annoying.
Sasha, do you like my hair?
Your sister copied me.
Nice.
I told you. They're really good in
that salon.
And I told you they don't cut curly
hair, so... Sasha, can have a word?
About what?
It'll only take a minute.
My mother is over for lunch
this afternoon, so I don't want
any trouble or smoking.
I weren't smoking.
Well, I smell smoke.
Can you take this upstairs?
No, I'm going out.
You woke me and your mum up again
last night. And you woke me up.
Listen, I don't feel well.
So I come home early and I went
straight to bed.
Woke up the whole street.
No, I never.
Can you borrow me some money?
No, take these.
You came in at 3:00 in the morning,
there was shouting, rapping,
swearing. Recording your EP that
no-one's ever going to listen to.
So sad.
DOORBELL CHIMES
I'll get that.
I want to talk
to you about something, actually.
Can I borrow 20 quid?
SHE SIGHS
I'll pay you it back.
You drank too much.
I barely drank last night.
Laura.
Laura, please come through.
What's going on, Kevin?
Hello, I'm Officer Stevens.
I was explaining to your husband,
I'm only here for an informal chat
with your daughter.
Are you Sasha?
MEGAN: You're in trouble.
OFFICER: Would you be able to tell
me your whereabouts last night?
Sasha, take off your hood.
What's this about?
Last night someone set fire
to Mr Anton Mills' front garden.
Oh, my God, that's awful.
Megan, I think you should go
to your room, please.
Oh, why?
Oh, that is crazy.
Is everyone all right?
No-one was injured, but
this is a case of arson
that we're investigating,
at the very least. Deary me.
Thank God someone wasn't k*lled.
I'm a strategic liaison and support
manager for the local council,
so I am happy to cooperate.
Why are you saying that?
I have nothing to hide, Sasha.
Anton Mills said you followed him
to the nightclub.
No. I was shown a text message you
sent to Mr Mills saying,
"OMW" at 1.40am.
What does that mean?
It's slang for "on my way".
No, it means...
..oh, my word.
You don't even know what it means.
Come on, now. We know that you
and your ex-boyfriend...
He's not my ex boyfriend,
he's my....
Look, I was here last night,
so all of this is very wild.
I see.
Well, I won't be making
any arrests today, but this is now
an ongoing investigation.
So I suggest you do not contact
Mr Mills or go near his premises.
Understood.
Hmm.
Thank you.
Wait!
Do you know if Anton's phone's
working, then?
Right, thank you, sir.
I can't apologise enough.
You are obviously very busy,
so thank you. What??
Why are you looking at me
like that?
Where are you going?
Not to see Anton.
The police said. What did you do?
Nothing, I swear.
I swear on...on Kevin's life.
This is nothing to do with me.
Please, can you not swear
on my life?
"Oh, my name's Kevin.
"And I know everything because I go
to bed at f*cking 7.00pm
"and I don't watch Love Island."
Sasha!
I swear.
You called the police?
Are you f*cking mad?
How can you even think I would do
something like that?
f*cking call me back.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean
that, yeah. Can you...?
Can you call me?

Megan, I'm not in the mood.
Please.
Yeah, well, then go upstairs to

You're joking.
I didn't expect you back so early.
Stop. Stop. Joan's coming over.
You should have said if you were

I've made a special lunch

Right.
What happened with you and Anton?
Nothing. We broke up.
People break up.
But when? Why is he saying
all this stuff?
Doesn't matter.
Do I look like the sort of person
who goes around starting fires?
SHE LAUGHS
Here.
Explain why I found this
in your room earlier.
You can't just go in my room.
You need to own up to
what you've done.
Of course you believe everyone
but me.
You're coming in your pants
at the thought of me going
to prison. Sasha!
The things you do
affect other people.
I don't want to affect other people.
I am just trying to live my truth.
What truth?
Grow up!
Your whole generation
is self-obsessed.
Social media has convinced you
that you're all going to be
the next Lisa Stansfield.
I don't even know who that is, bruv.
I'm not getting involved.
You are involved, Laura.
I can't take this any more.
The police! I can't live like this.
Sasha.
We're moving.
No, we're not. No, no.
WE are moving.
Megan and us,
we're selling up and moving.
And you...
You are not coming. Kevin!
I wanted to talk to you.
You're an adult.
You keep telling us you're an adult.
Well, it's time to bloody

You'd let him kick me out?
Kevin!

No, you're always high.
You don't know what it means
to have it hard.
Someone needs to tell you.
Music career? Ha!
Never going to happen.
You have the face of a nonce.
So I'm not surprised you're always
sticking up for Megan,
cos you're probably trying
to f*ck her. Sasha!
Oh, my God! I hate you!
Ow! Girls, stop it!
Ow, ow!
Ah!
Oh, God.
SHE PANTS
Are you happy?
Kevin's mum's just left.
Yes, very.
What are you doing?
You're moving out.
You didn't even tell me.
You attacked Kevin!
Megan attacked me!
You know what? I don't need this
family
cos I've been taking care of myself
since I was five years old!
You remember that, do you?
So it's my fault?
It's always my fault!
I know I made mistakes with your dad
and Megan's dad,
but I tried my best,
and it wasn't easy,
having you at 17.
Oh, here we go.
Sorry for being born!
You always got what you wanted!
Piano lessons. Singing lessons.
You spent all your grandma's
money on that EP!
I'm still working on it!
You know, none of you lot
want me here,
so I'm f*cking going.
Why are you so angry all the time?
I'm not angry!
I'm not going to beg you to stay.
Did I ask you to?
You don't give a sh*t about my

No, I don't.
