It makes me glow so much.

It casts a spell.

It rings a bell.

The magic touch.

Oh, when I feel your charm.

It's like.

So much you've got.

I'm getting married in the morning.

Ding dong, the bells are going to chime.

Morning. Pull out the slippers.

I'm going to have a whopper. And get me to the church on time.

I'm getting married in the morning.

All right, Totspin. You may turn inside.

Sarah should stop asking him stuff because they've got work to do.

Hosanna!

Please, please.

Hey, will you take your time?

Hosanna!

Put them things back.

Fast and bronze is a live and breathe. Come in, sit.

If you don't take your hand off her, I'll kill you.

Yeah? Well, then I'll put this through here, you know, until it comes through

the other side.

Sit.

Bloody woman!

Get in there! Come on! Come on! Come on! That's right!

Come on, no!

Listen to me, Prince Charming.

Let me out! You owe me.

You owe me.

You owe me, too.

Big time.

You ain't come to me.

I've come here.

And now, I'm taking anything I want.

And then, well, maybe then, we'll be all square.

He took me care.

Surely that was enough.

Your death will be clear when I say so.

Understand?

Mr. Duke.

That's not mine.

That's Leah's, my sister.

It's her part of the money, and she need it.

I will pay you back. It just need more time.

I know, I know, I know, I know.

Hold on.

Hold him.

That's nice.

Very nice.

Let me out.

Let's go, lads.

I'm dead.

Has that never hurt you?

What happened?

Then it broke off me finger.

We are lucky not to be dead.

Oh, yeah.

OK.

Breathe. Ah.

OK.

Ah!

OK, I'm sorry.

OK.

And that's good?

I delivered a 10 -pound baby and a potato field back home.

This is nothing.

What are we going to do?

I still not tried to forgive the baby.

that I could deal with that.

But this could have been a fight in Athens if he had just, if he had just

honest with me.

You've had visitors.

They made a bloody big mess upstairs.

I thought they were Aston's friends.

They weren't friends. They were bastards.

They took your money.

Everything.

Shit.

Aston.

Aston. Aston. Why let the man speak for a pound of money?

That was for the children's ball fair.

You turn simple.

Are you alright?

Hosanna.

Aston loves you.

Whatever he's done.

Aston has a child!

Aston has a child!

Aston has a child!

That's what he has done!

Bob, Hosanna, I never know. Oh.

All this time.

All this time, Astana's been running up and down.

Up and down the street with side by side with Satan.

Come on now, Hosanna.

Astana's a good man.

And you know that in your heart.

Chanterelle, slow down.

I'm not on roller skates, you know. Jimmy, don't have time for no

today. Leah says she wants us to find perfect wedding gifts.

Are you all right?

Anything you want, Chanterelle, I'll sway over you.

I love you.

Is that so?

What is it about me you love so much?

We like the same music.

You like fast cars.

So do I.

You like movies and books?

So do I.

I mean, come on, we're meant for each other.

We should get married.

Jimmy, you and I are just friends.

I'd value that friendship, but that's as far as it goes.

It's not exactly a definite no, though, is it?

I'm not.

You're in, Daddy.

Where is this baby of yours?

Mrs. Boyce, my name is Leah.

This is my brother.

He tells me he hasn't met his daughter.

Let's put that right today.

Now, you listen to me. You can't just come here. Who is it?

Mrs. Boyce, you know what it's like to lose a child.

Well, so do I.

The ones I still have are in Jamaica, and every day I don't see them.

It kills me.

I bet if you could hold your daughter right now, you'd do anything to make

happen.

Mrs. Boyce, let me hold her.

Please.

They've come about Gwyneth.

I don't want him anywhere near her.

Mr. Blythe.

I'm her father.

I don't know what's got into you.

Bringing coons into my house.

My house!

Piss off out of it!

That's enough.

Get out!

You can't treat people like this.

They're not people.

You killed my Maranoi.

She might forget.

This one, yeah?

Yes, she is.

Hello.

Go in there.

This is your daddy.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

I have to say, it's been a bit rough wheeling a brown baby up and down this

street.

She looked just like you.

Why my family didn't tell me she was pregnant?

She could have sent me a message.

She knew where I was.

She wanted to.

Father wouldn't let her.

Shall we see one more tree?

Aston, whenever you want to visit Gwyneth, I'll make it work, okay?

Thank you.

Sorry, Aston.

I can't marry you.

Hosanna. You promised me.

You said to me, you said, Hosanna, if the time comes and things don't work

I will take you back to Jamaica.

Well, time come.

You have to fix this, Ashton.

And I don't know what to do.

You feel like every last thing that's in your heart.

Me and Chantrelle will take care of everything else.

This wedding will happen.

Trust me.

And what do we tell everybody?

Tell them we're desperate.

We need everyone's help.

What about me and Hosanna? If this wedding doesn't happen now, it never

She's the best thing that's ever happened to you. And as far as

concerned, you and she's still getting married.

You just have to convince the bride to change her mind.

I'll do everything I can.

You have to do more than that.

Dear, I would say you're in trouble.

All my partner money gone.

How will I get the children over here now?

I have some savings put away.

I could organize them to come over here. And how would that work?

My children and me and you all under the same roof? We'd be a family.

All I'm trying to do is... Shut up.

Stop.

I don't need you to come to my rescue.

If you want to do something, help us get this wedding back on track.

They are weird.

I love you.

I've been here a while.

The loneliness.

Unbearable.

Did you love her?

I was younger then.

Looked foolish.

I tried to be the knight in shining armor.

But after my brother beat me one too many times, I wondered if the bruises

worth it.

If that was love, then certainly let me pay for it.

What a mess.

Because Anna, she gave me this once.

I hear what you're saying, Aston.

And I do understand, but this isn't easy for me.

I just need more time.

Everybody hush over.

Thank you.

No.

We have to reorganize Aston and Hosanna wedding tomorrow.

Because them have all kinds of trial and tribulation.

We need your help.

It was my turn to draw down a partner and let go, no?

Let me worry about that.

Well, what is the issue then?

The teeth, everything else as well.

So we need new outfits, transport to and from the wedding.

We have to pay for food and drink.

And we can't finish paying for the reception hall.

Anybody have any ideas?

Anybody have any spare change?

I lose count of the amount of money.

Islands after mm -hmm.

This is not some little dumb thing. He was asking for Everybody make mistakes.

We'll make sure he pays everybody back Help us, please

How we know any of this is true?

Mm -hmm Aston Brahms in debt to everybody

And his sister

She's a liar.

I sent telegram to my mother about how Leah Whittaker in England cheating

on her husband while I picked this dove in back of Jamaica.

Bitch, why you chatting about me in front of people?

Who you call him, bitch?

Slut.

Mind your business.

Somebody stop this man.

Best if you stay clear of the looking glass for a while.

I'm sorry for that.

That's not who I am.

Ephesian fear.

Let all bitterness be put away from you with all malice.

Aldo, Bernadette had it coming.

She too damn nosy.

Showman, Bernadette always chatting everybody business.

She was out to order.

All right.

So go down now.

Listen now.

We all know Austin and Hosanna.

They're good people.

And I believe that Leah is an honest and decent woman.

With a left hook like Sugar Dine Robinson.

All right.

The point is, they're our friends.

So we're going to help them.

Or what?

Yeah, man.

Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah?

We can't just sit around chatting foolishness like we on vacation.

The wedding is tomorrow.

So whatever suggestion or any money I've given now, so we can fix things for the

bride and groom.

Then finally give me the keys from the church.

We can do everything there.

That's progress.

I can cook food in time for reception tomorrow.

You better have curry goat on the rice, otherwise me no go nowhere.

Chanta.

And I have some material that you can use for the wedding dress as well.

All the night if you cry to wine.

But both types, red and white.

I think Jimmy can find them a motor to take them to the church.

And my head is not too big, so it shouldn't be too hard to fill this up

some money.

I can run up a bridal outfit overnight and they will look like movie stars but

from back a yard.

So what we saying?

We doing this or what?

Whatever, huh?

Where?

She says she need more time.

She come wrong.

Oh, now this is interesting.

Oh, you know what this color signifies?

Purity, peace, and simplicity.

Although, by looking at Aston's face just now, we'd be better off with

and ashes.

Shakespeare said, because a true love never did run smooth.

How am I supposed to work with this?

I mean, who's on a wand?

Cinderella, this is the curtain monster from the black lacoon.

For thou art with me.

Thy rod and thy staff. Hosanna.

I will be your rod and staff.

Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. All right,

right.

Sorry.

Bloody hell, Claude. What?

I thought you said we look at the church.

I had to take this one. I'll wait another year.

The bishops here, they just need a little elbow grease.

Looks to me like it want elbow, knee, spine and back foot grease as well.

Come.

Ask them what you're doing here.

She said she don't trust me. She said she won't have to go back home. Can you

help? So it's up to me again?

I can't do everything.

It's bad enough you lost my money.

No, come back. I'm trying my best.

Everybody cleaning up Mr. Claude's church for the wedding tomorrow.

Then it's no better than Daddy.

Keeping secrets and running away when things get bad.

You still have his address.

Maybe you should find out if that's true.

I just want to go home.

Hosanna.

Look at me.

You trust me?

Yes.

We live to 400 years of slavery design

I'm running back home to finish the wedding dress. Do you have any room? We

no room.

What's the room?

We have to fix the room.

I thought you were... I didn't know where you were. I didn't know you.

I thought you'd come back.

Pastor Drake, Hosanna wants to go back to Jamaica.

I was thinking that you could take her.

She is your responsibility after all.

I can't go back to Jamaica.

Them will string me upside down and set fire to me head top.

I can't go back and neither can she.

You want them kill me?

Daddy, you left me to deal with everything.

You took every last piece of the church donation funds and you never said

nothing to anybody about what you were doing.

You let me down.

I thought you were the best man in the world.

But I'm not that.

I am not Jesus Christ.

I'm just a man.

Don't you think you owe her an apology?

Look at her.

Lady, I don't know you.

So stop telling me what to do in my own house. Please do not talk like that to

Leah, Daddy.

I was supposed to marry her brother tomorrow.

But he lied to me and kept secrets just like you.

After your mother died, I'd do my best to take care of you.

Give you everything.

I know it's an old -time saying, but I needed to feel wanted.

When I used to tell you, I'm going to convention, I wasn't doing that.

I was seeing somebody.

I had this stupid idea that we could all be a family.

You, me.

And her.

So I come over here, buy this place, ask her to join me.

She refused.

She didn't love me.

Daddy, why you never tell me where you was?

I am not a child.

You took the people's money and run away?

That's how church works.

You take a collection.

That pay for your upkeep. Anything left, you give the parishioners.

But I always put you first.

This church pay for everything.

How am I supposed to trust any man after what you did?

I am so disappointed in your daddy.

Hosanna.

Hold on. Hosanna.

This was a mistake.

Let's go.

I think I will take the late boss home.

You sure?

Oh, nice one, lads.

Shout out. Come.

I need you to practice your wedding ceremony.

Come and stand with Tara.

I don't think Leah would be happy with that.

Happy with what?

I need your help.

It's not that long.

Come.

What?

I

will

welcome the guest.

Then I will greet the happy couple.

We will exchange the bows, take her by the hand, and we'll exchange the rings.

I'll pronounce you husband and wife, and then you will seal the marriage with a

kiss.

I don't suppose now's the right time to give you this.

I wouldn't want you to give up on everything.

Lord Jesus Christ, you can't.

You've got a dream.

I want to be part of that.

Siobhan.

I am so happy that you're here.

But I have to make a wedding dress overnight.

Show me what we're doing and we'll plough through it like a knife through

butter.

Are we good?

We're good.

Little better than I was there before.

Good night, everybody.

See you tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow. Good night.

So what happened with Rosanna?

She's deciding where to call home.

Rosanna! Rosanna, thank God you come back.

Listen, I love you.

So whatever you want to do, we are going to do.

Forget about the past, Aston.

So you'll forgive me?

God has.

And with the help of my sisters, I'm sure I will.

In the meantime, I think we should get married.

Yes.

Right.

Looking good, gentlemen.

You ready?

20 pounds.

No bother yourself.

It's tradition for the right to be. I look for it, man.

All right. Easy, man.

It's good, man.

Beryl don't know anything else.

A person of care this big, you need all the help you can get.

Come on, ladies.

We're live.

I want to show off my dress.

You want to show off your dress.

You all look gorgeous.

Thank you.

Let's get you straightened out, all right?

You ready?

Don't think this is all a bit too much.

Hosanna, if there's one time to look like a trollop, it's your wedding day.

Hosanna, come now. We have to start the procession.

Rosanna. Daddy.

Rosanna, you look beautiful.

Just like your mother.

I don't want to cry, but I don't want to spoil my makeup.

Tell Beryl to play the tune now.

All right.

Tell Beryl, baby, please.

Tell Beryl.

Tell Beryl.

Tell Beryl.

Beryl. Finally.

I'm glad you're here.

You look amazing.

I'm sorry. I never get the finger at a church you wanted.

This will do just fine as done.

In its own way, it's perfection.

Who will give this woman to be with this man?

That's me.

I'm the father of the bride.

It's me.

Thank you, Pastor Drake.

You can't take your seat now.

I know.

I've done weddings before.

Today we are here to witness the marriage of Astan Brahm and Hosanna

They are to be joined together in holy matrimony for the rest of their days.

Hosanna and Astan, could you face each other, please?

Who have the ring?

You take everything. I forget all about the ring.

What do you mean you don't have the ring?

A stone.

A stone?

There has to be a ring.

This is embarrassing.

What are we going to do?

Just take care of this.

It was your mother's.

Act on Bustamante Brahms. Do you think it was Anna Louise's dream to

be your awful wedding wife?

I do.

Right there.

You're going to pay everybody back home what you owe them?

I do my best, but it might take a while.

Pastor Drake, I just want to say I will look after your daughter just as well as

you did.

Cheers.

Shelter.

When I said that I don't need anyone's help earlier, that's not true.

Look, if you really meant it, I would like to take you up on...

I mean... I

accept your help.

Gratefully.

You? Of course.

There's too much for me here now.

The only thing that kept me going yesterday was when I hear you say, you

me.

In the street, in the middle of a crisis, you just blast that out there

hand grenade or something.

Anybody called Aston Brahms here?

I'm Aston Brahms. It's my wedding day. We know I'm in trouble.

Aston, if this is another one of your fancy women, I do not care if we are

married. I will take this cake and jam it in your... Hold on now. Settle.

This is Winifred Atwell.

Winifred Atwell!

How's she jump out of the jubilee?

Your sister Chantrelle is a very persuasive young woman, Mr. Brahms.

She said I had to come and play for some Jamaican as a change from my usual

audience.

Somebody make up a plate for Miss Atwell and get her a lemonade.

I prefer rum.

Rum? All right, people.

This number is called Boogie Woogie Stomp.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

They look good together, don't they?

I love you, Sheraton Powell.

You tell Mama Gladius you don't want to come.

Okay.

It's all right.

Children, I want you to meet Mama's friend.

I hope you don't mind, but I take Gideon to get on coming instead.

Ephraim. We did.
