Life is all about choices - ones you want to make,

like, do you munch strawberry cheesecake

or ice cream at The Cheesecake Lounge?

Then, there are choices that we have to make.

And if you make the wrong choice,

it might come back to haunt you like a jumbie.

Armed police! Armed police!

Show me your hands! Do it now! Hands in the air!

On your head NOW! Where is it?! Where have you hidden Gertrude?

Who? What?

Where is it? Where? What's this?

It's not mine!

Hold this for a couple of days.

It's not mine!

VOICE: Yes, big man!

Oi! Mind how you go!

Gertrude?

GERTRUDE: It's rude to stare, you know.

How about you let me out? Give me a tour of your castle.

I can't hear anything.

Gertrude can't speak.

It's all in my imagination. Lemar! KNOCKING AT DOOR

Where's your washing? Wait, wait, nah, nah, nah, nah!

Shucks, shucks, shucks! Handle with care,

handle with care, I'm very delicate! Don't put me... Aw.

HE YELPS

Ooh! Nice falsetto.

Cheese and peas, Mum, privacy!

Who do you think you're talking to like that?

Just give me your washing. I'll do it myself.

Give me your washing!

Oh, this boy.

See ya! You all right?

Yeah!

Thank you!

GERTRUDE: Yes! I'm about to meet the gang! Your gang, my gang, our gang!

What do you want, me or the books?

Me, innit!

Package is so needy!

Nah, I don't want to go in the closet.

I thought I was going outside. Wait, no, no, plea... Aw.

I'll hide you in here, and if anyone tidies,

then I'll know they've been in here.

All right, this is all good, but, like, have you got some security?

Because I feel exposed.

CAMERA CLICKS Gertrude, please!

That's a good point.

Manjaro ain't going to like this, bab!

Jerome... Lawd have mercy! What? BABY CRIES

Somebody turn off this baby monitor, please,

because this pickney just haunt me like jumbie.

I'll do it!

This house is a madhouse, I tell ya something.

Wait up!

Yo. What artefact is this? Something the ancients used?

Yeah, for, like... ancient stuff. OK.

Feels like something's awry. Awry? Nothing.

Everything's...

...wry?

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

Yo.

Hi-five, hi-five!

Avert your eyes, you swine. BOTH: I wasn't looking at anything!

I was talking to Father Rapid.

You're acting more jumpy than soca boy on a carnival morning.

EAGLE SCREECHES

Don't ask me no questions, I don't know anything because...

...I left my textbooks in my locker!

What's baking his bread?

I don't know.

But I'm going to find out.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

HORSE NEIGHS

SHERIFF'S SPURS CLINK

Yo! Yo, Broski, hold up!

OK, listen up, my living disappointments.

Today, we are going to be learning the basics of portraits.

As you can see, we have a bunch of different styles...

Oh!

Nice of you to join us.

Seeing as you don't require the entire lesson,

why don't you share everything that you know about...

...portraits!

Er, a portrait...

The sick one at the corner of High Street and Crong Road,

you know, the G that got deleted a few weeks back -

that was a portrait right there!

Rest in power, Ghosty Skinteeth!

Yo, why are you talking? Ghosty Skinteeth was a snitch, fam.

Your mum's a snitch!

Yo, my mum was kind, she made you dinner, fam!

Yo, why are you talking, fam?

ALL TALK AT ONCE

RAUCOUS SQUEALING NOISE PLAYS

Sit down.

You're both really pathetic fighters.

KIDS LAUGH

You were saying, Lemar?

A portrait is a representation of a person.

Like the Mona Lisa.

I would agree that the picture of Ghosty Skinteeth is a portrait.

Although I didn't know them personally,

I know that he had a love for music.

A portrait doesn't just tell you what a person looks like,

it tells you who they are.

Yeah, that is...

That's pretty bang on. Um...

All right, that was surprising that you're that eloquent. Um...

Nice one. We'll just get into the rest of the lesson, I guess, um...

And here we have it, it's the end of the lesson.

Yay, come and have a look,

see who you're paired up with.

Due in tomorrow after lunch, not before, don't disturb me.

Oh, yesss! You're with Saira! Yes, come on!

Oh, my gosh, you're with Saira!

Wait, who are you with? Boy From The Hills.

MCKAY LAUGHS

Unlucky, bud!

No way! Good luck.

Gran?

Cheese and peas!

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

Where's your food? You on the Rapid diet,

trying to get his skeletal figure?

Unprovoked!

I need to go the toilet.

Mentiroso.

Juniper! Juniper! Have you fixed it?

By jingo, I'm a genius!

I knew you'd fix it!

But can I just have that cable that's plugged into a potato

for my charger?

By the way, your room disgusts me.

La revedere!

Juniper?

Juniper!

MONITOR CHIMES

What the heck are you doing!

Might have just found me a guilty man.

Ain't nothing like a fall to make an outlaw crumble.

MCKAY! Mind your own!

What is up with you?

What's up with you? Following mans like a shadow all day.

You're acting higgy, you suddenly got sheckles,

you fixed your hairline miraculously,

new toehomes on your feet,

your sports day perfunctoryonics

and you're obsessed with the new ancient artefact.

What's going on? I demand answers! I'll tell you, OK?

Manjaro gave me something to hold. It's in my dungeon.

But if anyone finds it, I am deceased.

Mentiroso through your yellow teeth! Keep your voice down.

You can't work for Manjaro. What kind of frazzled is your hard drive?

I got to do this one thing, then I'm done. Little money for the family.

Doo-doo is going to hit every fan in Crongton.

I'm just the delivery guy. PLEASE, don't tell anyone.

Cuss up. I cuss up. My lips are shut like border force.

But YOU cuss up. You do this one thing, then it's over.

MONITOR BEEPS

State of your room, you ruffian.

HE SIGHS, SCHOOL BELL RINGS

Liccle Bit, abstract, pointillism, cubism.

Talk to me on techniques. I need to make Saira pop.

Er, I don't know, bro. Just be yourself.

Um, er, who you working with? That new kid.

Hi, new friend. Looks like we're a team.

Do you want to come to mine? No. Let's do it at mine. It's cleaner.

I mean closer. Closer, yeah. Er, yeah, OK.

Hey, Lemar! Hi... I was thinking,

maybe we should get started on the project after school, too.

Maybe at your place, because my dad's at home and, y'know...

Um, I have a thing. A package. A package being delivered.

A package? That's not a big deal.

Um, let's go! We're going to ace this.

Just go. Bye. Bye.

DOORBELL

Assalaamu Alaikum! For you.

Oh, my, thank you, McKay! Come in.

Have you been reading about Syrian manners? Maybe.

? Crongton! ?

BABY CRIES

You must be Venetia.

He talks about you all the time.

No, literally never mentioned you.

Not in a weird way.

Elaine? Mm-hm? Hush your gums.

Slow down, Rapid!

Quick. Get inside.

TV: Today, we've come to one of the Peak District's

most popular auction houses,

and there's some money to be made if you play your cards right.

Let me hold the baby. You've been hogging him all day.

Lemar, can I show you something quickly in my room?

Why you being so weird?

Now! But...

What the hell is wrong with your operating system, hmm?

No-one can know that Mo is here.

You can't be bringing people into the house. Gran can't keep a secret!

She keeps her PIN number on Post-it Notes!

Why couldn't you go to hers, huh?

Have you seen her dad? He will tear me limb from limb.

Not if I do it first.

Step off him. Look, he has to carry on like normal.

It would be more higgy if he didn't bring friends round.

Mm-hm. Manjaro's an idiot, but he's not speng.

He ain't to be messed with.

Who told you I was messing with Manjaro?

Is someone talking rubbish about me? Who?

No. I'm just saying he's not to be messed with, Lemar.

Just go do your homework in your room.

It's not safe, in case Mo gets seen.

But my room's got that...

You probably got rats and all up in there!

You live in squalor! Listen, I don't want this for Venetia, yeah?

But it's not safe, so open a window or something!

DOOR SLAMS

This is kubba. Want some?

Thank you! Um...

Do we need to say a prayer? To Allah?

Five times a day covers all meals and snacks.

Keep the door open. No funny business!

My little brother. Still thinks we're in Syria

and he's the man of the house. Well, I know where I'd rather be!

You'd rather be in a war zone?

Mind your own business!

I mean... this is really delicious,

maybe even better than Crongton Fried Chicken.

What?! Are you crazy?

That was one of the first things I loved about here!

I ate 20 wings in one go.

20? You know that officially makes you local?

South Crongton for life now!

Um, do you ever get brain pain, being two things at once?

I know how it feels.

Sometimes. I think maybe... new me and old me have to mix

to find the next version of... me. Does that make sense?

Now I got brain pain.

You know what I mean, though.

Crongton doesn't take away what's come before.

Course not! You could dunk spicy wings into ghanoush all day.

Oh, I bet that would taste nice!

I feel like I do what people think I should do,

not what I want to do.

OK...

Funny you say that, cos I kinda put a mysterious flex on it.

This looks...

You see me.

RAISED VOICES OUTSIDE DOOR

Oh! You've started already.

You can't sit for a portrait like that.

With your hair. No, it's fine. Stop! It's fine. Mum!

What have I told you about your face?

Cream your face! Please wear a button-up shirt!

Please, Dad. Dad, oh, just stop! Just leave me!

Just trying to help. It's OK. If he wants to look like that...

...it's his choice. It's fine.

At least open a window. For freshness!

HE SIGHS

Sorry.

FLY BUZZES

KNOCKING

GERTRUDE: Oi, who's that? Who's that?

Come on, man, let me out, I want to meet her!

Shut up! Well, you don't have to be so rude, you know.

I mean shut up.

Look outside! Some beef going down.

People who get involved in drama are just speng.

Speng and stupid.

Yeah, so speng, they think waiters lift weights.

So speng they wear coats when they eat chilli.

So speng they think getting licks means getting a cat bath!

You know what Crongton needs? More positive Gs like us.

GERTRUDE: Yeah, more positive Gs like you, Liccle Bit.

Why don't you introduce us, show her how positive you are?

PHONE BEEPS It's six! I got to skip.

Good idea. Um, I mean, you wouldn't want your dad to...

We can finish this tomorrow.

Wait. I'm nearly done. Look.

Oh, that's a nice picture.

Lemar! That's amazing.

That isn't just me. It's my story.

CAR HORN TOOTS

Um, Sergio's picking me up, so I got to go. But thanks.

We're going to ace this assignment.

She... she hugged me! She hugged me!

Yes, she did! Don't know why, but do you know what?

We should go out and celebrate!

Shut up, Gertrude!

HE SUCKS HIS TEETH

HE SIGHS

This is so long, man.

Can I see?

Yeah.

It needs a little more work.

Anyway... you play Kick-Ball?

Yeah. Definitely better at Kick-Ball.

VIDEO GAME STARTS

GERTRUDE: # Liccle Bit

? Liccle Bit Don't for... ?

Lemar? You ready? I swear you lot used to knock!

Have you forgotten?

You're at your dad's tonight!

SHE SIGHS Oh, Lemar.

I know what's troubling you.

GERTRUDE: Come on, Liccle Bit, jump on the riddim!

? Liccle Bit... ? It's OK.

Blended families aren't easy.

Liccle Bit, Liccle Bit, come on, jump on the track.

That's what you call them, right?

Look, he's your dad

and he misses you.

So... so let's pack.

No, Mum, it's fine. I'll do it myself.

Right. OK. Well, make sure you clean up this room,

cos it smells like a swamp. SHE CHUCKLES

GERTRUDE: Finally! Look, if I was more fragile of spirit,

I would say you've spent the day ignoring me.

Where we off to?

GERTRUDE HUMS TUNELESSLY

See ya.

Bye. See you. Bye. Are you ready?

Oh, I forgot something.

All right. OK. See you downstairs.

Where you going?

HEAVY THUD Oi! What is that?

Nothing. Lemar, what is in the bag? I know that sound.

It was nothing.

Lemar, what is in that bag?! Mind your own!

Did Manjaro ask you to do something?

Why is there a Lemar in my room right now?

He, er, found your baby monitor. Mm-hm. That's good.

TOY SQUEAKS

BABY CRIES FROM MONITOR

SHE KISSES TEETH

I'm just going to, um...

I'm going to go to the bathroom.

Elaine, come take Jerome, man! Him ah make too much noise!

Yes, Gran.

GERTRUDE: Yeah, proper cuddle! Mm!

You know what? I love to be squeezed!

Have you eaten?

I can warm you something?

Like I said, I have to do some homework.

All right. When you're done,

I can warm you something, all right?

Lemar, Lemar, Lemar, Lemar, Lemar!

Stef! Stef! Slow down, OK? You should be resting.

You'll give yourself a flare. Dad, I have sickle cell,

I always have flares and I burn brightly.

Lemar! Come look at the painting I did.

I practised mixing colours just like you showed me.

I have to do some homework.

But as soon as I'm done, I'll come peep your masterpiece.

SHE SIGHS Hey, Lemar!

Sorry, I wouldn't want to pull you away from your schooling,

but just give me two minutes,

I just want to show you what to do if Stef has an episode.

I am not a TV show! You have to come look now!

OK, so her medication's all in here.

We have folic acid supplements, some cold compresses,

oh, and an oxygen monitor.

Yeah.

Look at my picture! Look at my picture!

I don't mean to give you an even bigger head then you already have,

but this is good!

Maybe even better than what I do!

Can I take it to school and put my name on it?

No way! OK.

Let's let Lemar start his work, shall we? Thank you, Lemar.

We're lucky to have a big brother

who knows what a responsibility that is.

GERTRUDE: Oi, man! This is no fun.

I want to see daylight!

You know what you need?

Hoops.

Come, let's go.

Whee!

What's on your mind, son? Cos you know the court don't lie.

You're playing like your feet stuck in mud. Eh?

What would you do if you said that you were going to do something,

but you don't want to do it any more?

Look, it's OK to change your mind, OK?

Just explain why you made the choice, yeah?

What if that person would be upset? Like really, really upset.

Look... sometimes people get upset by the things you do,

but YOU have to do certain things for you, yeah?

Ah!

It's just...

...there's this girl. DAD LAUGHS

Say no more. I knew it! HE LAUGHS

I knew only a girl would make you ignore my cooking.

I'm being serious.

If she was to find out what I'm doing, she would... I...

Look, but you haven't done it yet, right? No.

Look, people can't be upset by the things you haven't done, yeah?

People respect the things you HAVE done.

Yeah.

Look at this place. Yeah?

People like the good that someone has done here, you know?

Just a bit of tarmac. Some hoops.

You know?

It's not hard to make a difference.

PHONE PINGS AND BUZZES

Look, Stef needs me, OK? Practise your jump shot.

Back in two ticks. It's the sickle cell doctor.

Yeah.

GERTRUDE: Hello?! Why does no-one want to play with me?!

I'm a straight shooter! I could do that!

PHONE BUZZES

VENETIA: You know what Crongton needs? More positive Gs, like us.

HEAVY THUD

GERTRUDE: Whoa! Hey, hey! Get that idea out of your head right now.

Little man! Big man!

Please, don't put me in the dark! Don't put me in the dark!

I'm scared of the dark!

WE can hang out with the big mans, come on!

Don't leave me here. Bye, Gertrude! Don't leave me!

Don't leave me! Come on! Liccle man, Please!

YES!

Dad! I made the shot!

I made the shot.
