🏋🏾 REP BY REP

Episode 1: “I Don’t Care, I’m Obese.”

📍 Peckham, South London — March 5, 1997

🏥 In a small apartment above a barber shop, Efua, a Ghanaian woman, groans and clutches her belly.

Efua: “Honey… I think I’m in labour!”

Desmond (Jamaican, tall, loud, dramatic): “Whaaat?! Already?! Okay babe, let’s go to de hospital now now now!” 🚗💨

They rush out. After 2 hours of intense labour...

👶 A baby boy is born — crying loud, arms flailing like a fighter.

Desmond: “Ahh look pon di bwoy! What should we name him, my Queen?”

Efua (smiling through sweat): “Let’s call him… Darius Mensah Thompson.”

Desmond: “Yes! A beautiful, powerful name for a strong man.” 💪🏾✨

📆 2000 – Age 3

Little Darius wobbles from couch to couch, then takes his first steps.

🎉 He opens his mouth and says his first word:

Darius: “Mama.”

Efua screams with joy. Desmond records it on a crusty camcorder. 🎥

👧🏾 2006 – Age 9

Efua gives birth again — this time to a bouncing baby girl.

Desmond: “She’s so bright. Let’s name her Amara.”

Darius (now chubby) peeks over the hospital bed:

Darius: “Can I still be the baby too?” 😭

Everyone laughs.

📱 2012 – Age 15

Darius, now 15 and 116kg, scrolls his cheap Android phone.

Darius: “Amara… you ever heard of YouTube?”

Amara (age 6): “Yeah! It’s fun! Go try it, bro!” 😁

Darius: “Alright then. Let me do something mad.”

He downloads the app and creates a channel:

📺 Channel Name: Big D Vlog

🖊️ Bio: “Hi my name Darius, this my new channel — just follow and like 💥”

For his banner, he uses a screenshot of a red subscribe button he cropped badly.

Then he struggles to take a profile pic…

🧍🏾 In front of the mirror:

Shirt 1: Rips at the chest

Shirt 2: Won’t pass his head

Shirt 3: “Nope.”

He finally finds a tight red shirt and white shorts that almost don’t fit.

He takes a selfie — belly sticking out, smiling like a warrior. 😎

📸 Click — profile picture done.

🎥 FIRST VIDEO:

Title: “Welcome! This My First Video”

Darius hits record on his cracked phone camera:

Darius: “Hi guys, my name is Darius. This my first video — let’s see how fat I am.” 😅

He drags out a rusty scale. Steps on it…

🔢 116.4 kg.

Darius: “I am obese. You see it. I don’t care. I’m obese and I’m proud.” 😤

Then he turns to his table — a chaos feast:

🍛 Jollof Rice

🍜 Indomie

🍖 Red meat chunks

🥤 Fufu smoothie (yes, fufu blended in)

🔥 Pepper sauce dripping

Darius: “LET IT BEGIN.”

He devours the whole plate while humming Burna Boy songs, burping between bites. 💀

✂️ He edits the video using a laggy app — adds terrible music and a shaky transition.

He uploads it that night and goes to sleep.

🏋🏾 REP BY REP

Episode 2: “Hate Me Now... But Watch Me Grow.”

📆 March 2012 — Peckham, South London

Darius is in his small bedroom, hunched over his phone. The YouTube app is open.

His upload schedule is going crazy.

“Full Plate of Fufu & Egusi + Indomie Smoothie 🤮”

“Trying 5 Nigerian Snacks in 5 Minutes 💥”

1,823 views...

💥 One even hits 4,100 views in 3 days!

Darius: “Yoo this might go viral, you know!”

😤 DARIUS SAYS TO CAMERA:

Darius: “Say what you want. Laugh now. I’m still gonna do me. I’m not ashamed of my size. Big D is here.”

He ends the vlog with a giant spoon of jollof stuffed in his mouth.

He grins. But deep down... the hate is getting to him.

🍻 NIGHT OUT — April 5, 2012

Darius sneaks into a bar with some older boys. Loud afrobeats, cheap alcohol, greasy wings.

Friend: “Big D, come take a shot!”

Darius: “Say lessssss fam!”

He downs two. Then four. Then more.

🚓 Police arrive.

A female police officer named Officer Emily Rowe steps into the smoky lounge.

Officer Emily: “We’ve had noise complaints. All underaged need to clear out. Now.”

Darius (drunk): “Go away, fam. No one called you.”

Officer Emily: “What’s your name?”

Darius: “I’m Darius Thompson. You mad?”

Officer Emily: “How old are you?”

Darius: “Fifteen.”

Officer Emily: “You're 15... and drinking?” 😐

She steps closer.

Officer Emily: “Go home. Last warning.”

Darius: “No. Get out. Beat me then.”

Officer Emily: “What?”

Darius: “Come swing then! Do it!”

She raises an eyebrow, sighs… then—

💥 DARIUS TRIPS BACKWARD AND FALLS HARD.

BOOM! His head hits the wall. He blacks out.

🚔 JAIL — Peckham Station, 9:22 PM

Darius wakes up on a cold metal bench. His shirt smells like alcohol and jollof.

Sheriff Michael: “You know how many crimes you broke?”

Darius: “I didn’t do anything wrong.” 😞

Sheriff Michael: “Really? Underage drinking. Not cooperating with police. Verbal harassment. You think that’s nothing?”

Darius stays quiet.

📞 Sheriff: “What’s your parents’ number?”

Darius: “...9904-3457-5667.”

He’s shivering. Eyes red.

📞 Phone Call – 10:13 PM

Sheriff Michael: “Hello, is this Mr. Desmond Thompson?”

Desmond: “Who’s this?”

Sheriff: “This is Sheriff Michael. Your son Darius has been arrested. Come to the station now.”

Desmond (quietly): “…I’ll be there.”

🚗 Station — 10:55 PM

Desmond storms in, angry and embarrassed.

Desmond: “What did my son do?”

Sheriff Michael: “Underage drinking, disrespecting a police officer, and harassment.”

Desmond (turns to Darius): “Seriously, Darius? In a bar? Cussing at police?”

Darius (crying): “I’m sorry, Dad…”

Sheriff: “This is a court matter. You’ll need a lawyer. His hearing is on April 19.”

Desmond: “You’re lucky we have Peter. If not, you’d rot in a cell.”

He walks away. Darius is left in silence.

🛏️ Later That Night — Cell, Alone

Darius curls up on the bench.

Tears stream down his face.

Darius (whispers): “I was just trying to be funny... just tryna be seen.” 😢

He cries himself to sleep.

🏋🏾 REP BY REP

Episode 3: “The Weight of a Sentence”

📅 April 19, 2012 – Hearing Day

📍 South London Youth Court

⛓️ Inside the holding cell, Darius is pacing. Sweat on his forehead. Eyes puffy from crying all night.

🚔 Sheriff Michael unlocks the gate.

Sheriff Michael: “Darius Thompson. Out. It’s time for your hearing.”

Darius: “Yes… sir.” 😔

🚶‍♂️ Courtroom Entrance – 9:12 AM

Darius walks into the courtroom in a grey hoodie and black joggers. His hands are slightly shaking.

He sees:

👨‍⚖️ Judge Sam sitting firm and cold behind the bench

👩‍✈️ Officer Emily standing near the witness box, arms crossed

👨‍💼 Lawyer Peter, in suit and tie, gives Darius a small nod

👨‍👩‍👧 Desmond, Efua, and Amara sitting quietly behind the bar. Amara’s eyes are red.

⚖️ The Hearing Begins

Judge Sam:

“Court is now in session for the case of Darius Mensah Thompson, age fifteen, charged with underage drinking, harassment of a law enforcement officer, and refusal to cooperate.”

Peter (lawyer):

“Your Honour, my client deeply regrets his actions and has no prior violent record. He’s a minor who made a grave mistake.”

Officer Emily:

“He was intoxicated, aggressive, and refused to leave after being warned multiple times. His behaviour was unacceptable.”

Judge Sam (looking at Darius):

“Mr. Thompson… you’ve admitted guilt. You’ve disrespected a law officer, endangered yourself, and violated public safety laws.”

Darius (quietly):

“I didn’t mean for it to go that far…”

🧑‍⚖️ SENTENCING

Judge Sam:

“I hereby sentence you to the following:

Three (3) months in juvenile detention

One hundred (100) hours of community service

While in custody, you will serve as the prison cleaner for the entire duration of your sentence.”

Judge Sam (stern):

“Let this be the moment your life turns around. Court adjourned.”

🔨 Gavel slams.

😢 Darius Breaks Down

Darius: “No! I can’t go to prison! Please!”

Peter (softly): “Mate… we tried everything we could.”

Troy (friend, stands up): “Darius! I’ll miss you, bro. We’ll wait for you.”

Amara (crying): “Big bro… don’t leave me…”

Troy (to Amara): “He’ll come back. Stronger.”

Darius (tears streaming): “Thanks… guys.”

He turns to see his parents.

Efua looks down, silent. Desmond crosses his arms, shaking his head.

Darius: “I’m sorry, Mum… Dad… I’m sorry.” 😢

Officers handcuff him gently and walk him out.

🏚️ Juvenile Detention Center – Arrival

Darius is led into a dull grey hallway. Metal doors. Concrete floors. Cold silence.

He enters his cell — Cell B4.

Inside:

One rusty bunk bed

A small window

A sink

A loud, rough-looking inmate sitting on the lower bunk

👤 Cellmate 1: “The Veteran”

Cellmate (gruff voice): “Shut up and stop sniffling, mate. I just got to sleep.”

Darius: “Sorry… Why are you in here?”

Cellmate: “I robbed 25 banks, 1,500 houses, and 45 stores. Been here for 12 years. Think I’m getting out soon?” 😐

Darius (shocked): “T-Twelve years?! I’m lucky it’s only three months…”

Cellmate: “Yeah. So don’t cry too loud.”

😩 Minutes Later — First Task

Another inmate across the hallway yells:

Cellmate 2: “OI! New recruit! Heard you're the prison cleaner. Come clean our toilet. It’s a mess!”

Darius sighs. 😓

🧹 TOILET CLEANING SCENE (Detailed)

He walks into Cell D2 holding a mop and gloves.

He opens the toilet lid — immediately gags. 🤢

Stains everywhere. Toilet paper shoved into corners. Water pooling on the floor.

He puts on gloves, grabs a brush, and starts scrubbing.

Splatters hit his shirt. A roach crawls past. He nearly throws up but keeps going.

He wipes the mirror, mops the floor, flushes twice.

Cellmate 2: “Took you long enough. My friend’s cell too, next door.”

Darius (quietly): “Okay…”

🛏️ Later That Night

Darius crawls into the top bunk, exhausted.

His hands are red. His back hurts. His pride is gone.

He whispers to himself:

“I’m better than this. I swear... I’m gonna change.”

A single tear rolls down his cheek as he stares at the tiny window above.

🌒 Fade to black.
