You've got legacy
behind you. Come on.

Look, let me in.

DOOR UNLOCKS

What's legacy when I've been
out of the game two years?

Bro, Bulla will
come and he'll go.

Being in prison don't mean people
have forgot you. It was two years.

People don't want
me any more, man.

Listen, this scene is yours.

Go out there, show yourself.

Show Bulla, show all of them.

Show them you're still the Bosco
Champion that people loved.

All right, all right,
Bulla and crew,

PA, selfies in 15.
It's all good, man.

We'll see who's talking about whose

It's all right, though.
You know what I mean?

She might have to earn it, though,
you know what I mean? Come here!

You need to watch that little
temper, blud. You know, like that?

But I know you don't want
to go back to the pen.

Let me go! Let me go! All

So what did you think, Dad?

Did all right.

Next time, think of the

You're too eager to
please them, you see me?

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Vita, don't forget
to put the cakes out.

Why would I forget?

And bring the coleslaw back in.

It's too hot out there for that.

Don't let her stress you, V.

She's always stressing me.

Come on. Give me a smile.

Come on, one lickle
smile. One lickle smile.

Sorry to break up the moment,
but can you help me organise

the table, please, Vita?

How are you getting on there?

Relax yourself, now, Aria.

Me have this thing
under control.

Yeah!

SHE CHUCKLES

Bosco will be happy. Yeah.

Speaking of Bosco,

maybe he can help?

It's his birthday, Vita.

He's 25. It's a big year.

What does that even mean?

Yes, how are you, big man?

Hey, bro, you all right?
How you doing, man?

Yeah, nice of you to join us.

Since when were
you my timekeeper?

Since always. HE SNIGGERS

You all right, Mummy?

You look good.

DOOR OPENS

Why are you sweating? Cos
ever since Bosco came out,

I've been running
around after him.

Mm-hm. Aria and Beres got you
back there. I knew they would.

If my parents could have got me
into that prison to look after him,

they would, you know. Well, make it
work for you, then. How d'you mean?

Look, you've been doing this
behind-the-scenes thing for years.

It's too small for you, babe.

Yeah, but... All I'm saying is,
if you don't ask, you don't get.

We need to be in a new
season of doing what we want

and getting what we want.

Oh. Looks like Tayo just got in.

I didn't realise
she was invited.

She didn't come alone either.

All right, come through with the
blue jumper and mad sunglasses.

If that's her new girl, you're
not allowed to talk to her.

Er, when you two got
together, what did I say?

You said it was bad enough that
your best friends have got together,

and that you were... Never getting
involved. Exactly. Whatever.

SHE SINGS

♪ Oh, girl you're too cool

♪ Tell me where you shine from

♪ Cos I wanna get mine on. ♪

Remember this one? How could
I forget? This was our riddim.

SHE LAUGHS

I can't believe you gave up the
music thing to be an assistant

to your dumb brother,

as well as write his bars.

When's he going to write
his music by himself?

Being a champion's work, innit?
From the top to the bottom.

Hmm! You don't even know.

And I swear his manager, Dawn,
Dusk, whatever her name is,

I swear she doesn't even do
anything. Honey, she does nothing.

Can't wait. Do you want
to ring the doorbell?

This time? Yeah.

DOORBELL RINGS Good
girl. Come here.

Hi! Hi!

Aw! Come in.

Sorry we're late. Mummy's wig
wasn't doing what she wanted.

Er, you talk too much,
Milan. ARIA CHUCKLES

Come here. Why don't
you go find your daddy

and go give him his
presents, yeah? OK. OK.

Hello. Hey.

Where's your
fiance? Oh, parking.

He'll be here in a sec. OK.

Granny, help me find him.

Who's my little
princess looking for?

Dad! Ha-ha! Happy birthday!

Thank you. You OK? Yeah.

Mum, where's the
rest of the napkins?

Excuse me. Head to the
garden when you're ready.

There's plenty of food, yeah?

You want to get some food? Yeah.

Let's go!

Ah.

And, er, how's my
other princess?

I'm fine.

Congrats. You made it
to 25 in one piece.

Bosco.

Happy birthday, brother.

Yeah. Thanks for
getting the family down.

Yeah, well, you know, it's my
job to keep them safe, innit?

Baby, I'm going to go grab some
food. Let you two talk shop.

Many happy returns, fella.

Aria! Nice to see you, darling.

Where's that famous
curried goat of yours?

Oi.

I miss you.

Of course you do.

Ahem!

Your mum said that
we need more salad.

You're lucky I
wasn't your brother.

We're going to
tell him soon. Mm.

Just let him enjoy
his birthday first.

And how's that going to go?

"Hi, Bos. I f*cked
your best friend."

How you doing, man? Good.
I'm good. I'm good, I'm good.

All right, all right. Who's
that you've come with, huh?

It's just a friend. Just a
friend. Don't watch that.

Don't watch that. Yo! I saw
you headlining, yeah? Yeah.

Come on.

Man, you need to spin a little
one-two tracks for Bosco.

You never knew you'd
be making that money.

Yeah, but look at you,
though. I see David Sims did

one of your shoots. Hey,
Bosco, this is your party.

Go have a cooler. Let
Mem do what he's doing.

Hey!

You all right? Mm-hm. Yo, Vita.

Looking nice! Always, yeah.

Cute. Yo!

Come here. Give me one sec.

Where's Dad? I dunno.

He should've been here by
now. I'll give him a call.

You know it started
three hours ago

and Bosco's been
looking for you?

Since Bosco a boy, him
always look for me.

Still, you're never there.

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

Happy Birthday You
men are joking, man.

BOSCO SIGHS

Wahey!

What? Come on, bro. What's the
matter with you? No, no, no.

It's your day, my guy. Huh?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Come on, Milan.

Yeah!

♪ Happy birthday to you

♪ Happy birthday to you

♪ Happy birthday to Daddy

♪ Happy birthday to you. ♪

CHEERING

Yes, Milan!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Are you
Bosco Champion? You know it's me.

What the hell's going on? We've
had multiple noise complaints -

a breach of your terms of release.
You ripped off my mum's gate

for noise?! This is your registered
address. Hey, shut up, man!

You lot have been on me
since I come out. Go away!

DISTANT VOICES

Which one of you's going to
pay for my gate? Is it you?

You lot should be ashamed of
yourselves! Don't touch my mum!

Get your hands off her!

Get off! What are you doing?
Get off my mum! Get off my mum!

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

Bosco Champion, I'm
arresting you on suspicion

of assaulting a police officer.

Get that phone out of my face!
How can you arrest someone

over a noise complaint?
All right, all right.

Easy, bruv. Why are
you arresting him?

I told you already, he
hasn't done anything!

Why are you arresting him?

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

No, I don't have to get
back! Don't press up on me.

Don't press up on me!

I swear to God. Why
are you arresting him?

Why don't you go and
arrest some real criminals?

He's not a criminal!

Back away from me!

Don't press up on me!

I swear to God,
don't press up on me!

Move back! Move back!

Back off! Give me my space!

Oh!

Bosco!

We've got you, Bosco.

Vita, Vita, I'm going to
try and calm your mum down.

Can you see if you can
sort this out, yeah?

It's all right, babes. We've
got this. We've got this.

Hmm? Mm-hm. Yeah.

Calm down, Vita. If he didn't
do anything, they'll let him go.

Come on, you're supposed
to be his manager.

He needs to call a solicitor.

DAWN CHUCKLES Um, you
see, the thing is...

Hello? Are you there?

Yeah, um...

Mm.

I don't think you need to be
calling anybody just yet. What?!

He needs a solicitor
down there now.

That's not that much. Bosco will
be fine. Please. I don't think

you're taking this seriously enough,
Dawn. And your problem, Vita,

is that you take things a
little bit too seriously.

Just give it a few hours.

They'll let him go.

They ain't got a case
against him, trust me.

Vita... Hello?

He did not deserve to
be treated like that.

Bosco back in the pen again?
Heard that boom, boom, boom.

Feds came to the
door. It's crazy.

Hey, yo, I can't believe
it. My boy Bosco arrested.

HE BREATHES RAPIDLY

Free Bosco! The system's
just always out to get us.

It's a disgrace. It's
actually outrageous.

How are the police
acting like this?

Man, these feds ain't
got nothing better to do.

Free Bosco. Why am I hearing
he's been locked up? Long day.

So you get one whiff of freedom

and now you're getting
locked up again?

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

No further action.

You know what? As a black man

in this England...

Easy on the bacon.
..this world, even,

I'll never be seen as innocent.

My name will always be up
for question. But guess what?

You can't hold a champion down.

And the next time you want to
come to my mum's house to nick me,

make sure you have
a warrant, blud.

Look at them!

Idiots. NFA, man. NFA.

Now, Vit.

Why haven't I heard anything?

I feel sick. DRILLING

Don't worry about Bosco.

He'll be fine.

He'll be better off than this
gate was, at the very least.

b*stards. Barging in here.

See that boy? Got a
temper just like Aria.

Pure fire.

Vita, though, she's like me.

She still, she focused.

Don't let her emotions run her.

But Bosco,

just like his mother.

I might let my emotions run me,
Beres, but I ran this house.

Yeah? I ran this house
when you couldn't.

I... HE MUTTERS

BERES HUMS

BOTTLES CLINK

Stop, he's coming.
Hey, chill out.

He's coming. All
right, all right.

Boy!

All right.

You know, in all these years,
I've never seen you this hungry.

Nah, I have, you
know. I really have.

Um... SHE CLEARS THROAT

Bos, I've got to
ask you something.

Ask, then.

I think I should
be your manager.

HE LAUGHS

Come on, Bos, man.

You know I'd do a good job.
I've been doing a good job.

No, Vita, man. Dawn is useless.

And I'm always,
always by your side.

And where was she when you got
arrested this time and the last?

Where was she when the organisers
decided that Bulla should

close the show instead of
you, and I had to sort it?

All right, Vita, man!

Settle yourself.

Let me sleep on it,

get my head straight and
I will think about it.

OK. Jesus! Thanks.

What are we doing now?

Vita?

Is that you?

Yeah, Mum, I'm really
tired, all right?

What? It's all over the internet
and I've been here losing my mind,

and you couldn't pick up the phone.
Mum, he's fine, OK? He's home.

Can we talk about this tomorrow? I'm
tired. I told you already, you need

to tell me what's going on with him.
I can't go through this again. Mum.

We need to make sure
that he's OK. All this

police business... Night, Mum.
..it's not good for him, Vita.

We need to be doing
more. I said, night, Mum.

DOOR OPENS

SHE SIGHS

I can't wait till we don't
have to hide any more.

And I can properly
take you out, yeah?

Hmm? Mm.

Show you off.

Hmm? Hmm?

We can go on holidays. Yeah.

Let's just focus on
telling Bosco first.

Yo! Where you at?

Yo, erm...

I'm at home, innit?

My home, just in my bedroom.

I just woke up.

Yeah, whatever, man.

Meet me at the label office at
one and pick up Vita on the way.

Come on! All right.

Oh, God. It's really
happening. What is?

Bosco's actually going to make
me his manager. I knew this day

would come. I've got plans.

I've got plans. V. Why d'you
even want to do this, man?

Because I have been doing this.
And it's, like, time I got

recognised for doing it. I
dunno. I just think, like...

..don't you want to do
something for yourself?

You've got talent.
Why don't you use it?

I'm better off behind
the scenes, man.

All right. If you say so.

Sorry for the wait.

Team Champion? Yo.
They're ready for you.

BOSCO SIGHS

CAMERA CLICKS It's
for your pass.

Better get a quick
pic of your manager.

Here she is. Sorry,
running late.

Oi! Memet, Vita. All right.

Right, can I get your pic?
Yes, let's do it. Cool.

I beg you, get me a tea, please.

And make sure it's got oat milk in
it, yeah? Cow milk's dead. What?!

You know it messes
up my stomach, innit?

V. It's bullshit!

Don't be like that, man!

They do make tea here, you know.

SUCKS TEETH

Are you all right?
No, I'm not all right.

Bosco basically said I
can be his manager, yeah?

And the next thing I know, Dawn's
walking in and he's telling me

some sh*t about oat milk...
OK, shut up, shut up.

I need you bad. Huh? I need you to
come meet me now. Where are you?

Don't worry, just...
I'm going to send you

the address. Are
you OK? Come now.

Bosco, good afternoon.
How goes it? Are you well?

I'm Philip. I'm going
to be heading up

our newly-created
Street Music division.

I'll level with you.

Your streaming numbers have gone
through the roof since the arrest.

Honestly, money can't buy
this kind of exposure.

I've genuinely, genuinely never seen
our marketing team more galvanised.

Oh! You hear that, Bosco?
You, Bosco Champion,

are going to be a very busy man.

We're talking UK tour,
we're talking hot new track.

So to really cash in on the
whole arrest thing, whatever,

you bring that out now. And we're
thinking, and this is brilliant,

we call it Locked Up.

COUGHING

And for the video, we can have
you in a makeshift prison cell,

anything prison... I don't
know about all that, bro.

UK tour sounds peak, but I don't
know about all that Locked Up stuff.

No, he'll do it. Sounds great!

You're going to be
a busy man, Bosco.

What's going on?

Are you all right?

Yes. I am gassed. About what?

Honey, you said it was an
emergency. It is. OK? Where are we?

Mate, where are we?

Why are we even here? Hey,
boys! Honey. How are you doing?

Yeah, all the
glamour! SHE GIGGLES

You know me! This is Vita.

Glamour's not really her thing.

Where do I know your face from?

Nowhere.

One minute. Yeah,
sure, you know.

Where are you going? I'm
about to do something

that's going to change our lives.
I don't want to change my life.

My life's just fine.

Look how your own brother
f*cked you over, again.

Don't you think it's time you
did something for yourself?

Trust me.

We're good. It's all good.

All right, then.

Babe, you all right? Yeah.

There's nothing to be
scared of, you know.

We're all harmless in here.
Are you sure? Yeah, I'm sure.

I'm Leron, by the way.

Hi, Leron. Honestly, babe,
just hear our voices.

We're exactly what you've
been missing. Yeah?

Well, we'll see
about that, innit?

Let me see what
you're dealing with.

You need to fix up, boy.

It's my family you
get the name Champion.

What me always a tell you?
Winners only. Me can't hear you.

Look to me when me talk to you!

Winners only. That's right.

Champion. Winners only. Dad, I get
it, you ain't got to lecture me.

If you go back to prison, what that
mean for the family? I'm not gonna

go back there. A w*r. A w*r.

The label want me to go on tour,
but... Them a pay you for that?

Yeah, they're going
to front the money.

I don't know if I want to
do it. What do you mean?

Just don't know if I'm ready for
them kind of things. Ready? Ready?!

You better get ready. What
are you waiting for, boy?

Go find your sister so we can
get to work, plan a new track.

And while me remember, the people
them tell me say the rent here late.

VOCAL TRACKS PLAY AGAIN

Let's play that back. Run

Need to hear that
now. Run it. Yeah.

THEY LAUGH

Yeah, get rid of that one there.

ISOLATES A VOCAL TRACK
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one's

definitely... What are you doing?
Just to see, we're just seeing.

♪ Life's a dream, time

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's
it. That's it. That's the sound.

See you? You got the voice.

That's it. What do you mean?

We come as a pair, you
know, both of our voices.

It's cos it's worked, innit?

Right, let's get a bit more volume
on that. "Both of our voices".

THEY LAUGH

♪ ..On my shelf... ♪

Vita, come on.

Oh. Are you on that?

THEY MUTTER AND LAUGH

Here we go.

Why were you singing? What
do you mean? Literally trying

to show me up, and now you've
done it. Are you happy now?

Why didn't you say anything when
they're just about to cut me out?

You let them cut me
out of the whole song!

You said you didn't want to be
here! Oi, oi. It's funny, though.

Hey, don't laugh.

Is she coming back in?

Hey, Vita. Hey, Vita... This is
why I don't work with females.

Hold up, just a
second, just a second.

What? Now, look, you're not...

You're not going to like
what I'm about to say here.

But someone with talent like yours
ain't ever going to have it easy.

Look, I know the whole
Bosco-Chantelle thing makes this

tricky, but I can
make you a star.

I'm good doing what I'm doing.
Thanks. Hey. You're working in

your mum's restaurant, when you're
not working for your brother.

Bosco's the one whose name everyone
knows, he's the golden boy.

And Vita's just someone
who looks after him.

They're never going to change.

But we, we can change your life.

It could be amazing. Look,
you don't understand, Mark.

That kind of thing doesn't run
with my family, let alone Bosco.

And besides, I ain't a star
kind of girl, so thank you. Hey.

Yes, you are. Trust.

Anyway, you just
think about it, yeah?

Yo, Mummy. Hey, Bos.

All right? Yeah.

How it going?

HE LAUGHS

You're acting up, man.

Don't be like that,
man. It's just business.

All right, just give me
a little time with Dawn.

Let me sort things out,
and it's all you. Yeah?

That's cool, but,
actually, I... Yeah, man.

Dawn come through
this time, innit?

But I see what you do for me, trust
me. All right, Bos, man, it's...

I kind of need you to...

I kind of need you to help me
make the song that the label want.

Come on, man! Do
I have a choice?

You know you want to
help your big bro.

Hmm? Hmm?

I might actually have
something that could work.

This one.

Went jail for a
lickle possession

Intent or not, it's a weapon

Same time, got a pending case

Looks like I'm gone for a second

You know man's got
expensive tastes

I need them creps
BOTH: In size seven

I told my girlfriend
that she can leave

I came home and knew
she got that message.

What?! When did you start writing
this? When you first got out.

"That message

"I'm home now We've
got to address it

"Everyone want to know
where man's head is..."

No, man, I'm not
even saying that.

Why? Because why you trying
to get man emotional for?

There's nothing wrong with
my head. I didn't say that.

Sorry, Vita, this
is the last of it.

You weren't hungry, were
you? Thank you, Mummy.

No. Let Bos eat.

I've got some news.

Who's gone and got you
f*cking pregnant, bro? What?

No-one. What's wrong
with you?! Oh, good!

No, it's about my career.

I told you, your time's
coming. No, no, Bos.

I'm going to be doing something
else, something kind of new.

New? What do you mean, "new"?

I'm going to be singing.

I mean, we both know
I can write, so...

HE LAUGHS

Singing where? Where are
you going to find the time

to do that when you're working
for me AND you're working here?

Stop being silly, man.

Well, you're not
going to like it,

but at first, I'm going to be
singing on Bulla's new track.

He heard my voice and he
thinks I might have something.

You're joking, innit? No.

I spoke to Mark earlier.
He's going to kind of, like,

trial-manage me for...
Mum! Are you hearing this?!

Leave me out of it! Vita,
that's my rival, you know?

This is about ME, doing something
I think I can do. How do you mean?

You've been there with me since
day one. You know how much that guy

annoys me. Yeah, I've been in it
with you from day one, and I'm still

in it now. Look at what I'm
doing. You're trying to f*ck up

my comeback, innit? Who can I trust
to write with me if you go, huh?

I'm f*cked. Write WITH you or
write FOR you? Vita, please!

Your brother's upset.
When isn't he upset, Mum?

We're all doing everything
to make sure he's OK.

If you'd just let me be your
manager, I wouldn't have to run off

and do my own thing. Stay in
your lane, man. No, no, no, no.

I've listened to you long enough,
Bosco, and I ain't staying in

any lane. I'm going to swerve
right into yours. Jealousy!

I always knew this was
going to happen. I knew it!

Jealous, Bosco?

I've been living, breathing,

writing and lying for you
ever since I can remember.

Everything I do is to
make sure you're good.

Ah! But in your head, I was always
going to be in your shadow, innit?

Well, it's Champion
versus Champion now,

so get ready.
