Please will you testify?
My name is Leandra.
Where are you from?
I'm from São Paulo, Brazil.
And what brought you to England in the first place?
Erm. My boyfriend. I just came here to be with him.
And he knows what you do?
Yes. Yes, he does.
He's OK with that?
Yeah, he's not jealous.
It's just...it's a side thing, I think.
For me to settle...
It really helps me to get money, to study.
What does he do?
He...he's a businessman.
I just really came here because I fell in love.
And it wasn't like I want to...I was happy where I was.
So no it wasn't my dream to live abroad, but now I like it.
Whenever you're ready
just start with your name and your age
and where you come from.
My name is Ariella Filippa Sousa de Silva.
I am 20 years old.
And I was born in São Paulo, Brazil.
People in London always ask me,
what was it like growing up in a favela?
Was it as bad as it is in the movies?
You are strong.
The answer is no.
You are strong, daughter!
It was worse.
I was not meant to have a shift at the restaurant that day.
I had done like 10 hours of cleaning.
And I was a the carer for the elderly.
Hello, Sheila!
And I was studying business.
Cousin Pedro
Don't go, my child.
We already have the money for this month, we don't need it.
Stay home, you need to study.
You have to dedicate yourself to your studies.
Ariella, it's me. Can you work for me today?
Thank you very much, God bless you.
You have to dedicate yourself to your studies too, my child.
-You already do so much. -Mama...
Stubborn like your father, huh?
I guess I was greedy, maybe, because I'd
made enough rent for the month.
And we had enough food, but I just...
something felt right for me to go.
That's exactly what I want to do. Exactly.
Exactly that. I want to bring what we've done in Soho,
and I want to create it here in the middle of São Paulo.
In this chaos, I want to
-Cousin, hey! -bring the essence of what
we've done in London and have you guys help us to set it up
and launch it.
But yeah, I know...
I just want to say thank you very much for your time.
When I get back to the UK we'll have a call-
And there he was.
I'm going to get the check.
But it's a pleasure.
Thank you.
This guy, this beautiful guy.
He was bright and so different.
Hi.
Do you speak English?
Yes.
I'm Ben.
Ariella.
That's a beautiful name.
-We just...we just hit it off. -Does it err? Does it mean something?
I don't think so.
No.
I should probably pay, right?
Sorry.
There you go.
-Oh, I'm sorry. -Sorry.
I...
It's...it's...I guess that's it?
That's it, I guess?
Yeah. OK. Thank you.
In another life, then, right?
Bye.
I don't know you're probably going to think I'm crazy.
And this is a little bit mad.
But I, I have an hour and a half until my flight.
So I have some time-
you don't understand a word I'm saying.
No. Yes, yes.
You do?
I'm not speaking too quickly?
No.
OK.
I don't know whether you have time just to take a break
and sit and have a coffee with me?
I don't know, I, I just got here.
Vai, vai.
Vai.
He's saying yes?
-Yeah. -Yes?
-Yeah OK. -You can?
Yeah?
-Yeah. -OK.
Cool.
No, we're thinking about setting up one of the businesses that we have
because we have these clubs and lounges.
So originally, my great uncle started it. And then he kind of raised me, actually.
And then, yeah, I've just started working with him. And so-
You're, like, the owner?
I'm gonna to be one day.
Yeah, he's...he's...it's his business.
But I'm...I'm kind of running it, I would say.
What about you? What about your life, your family, your mum and dad?
Where are they?
I...I live with my mama.
OK.
And your dad?
Erm...he died....
So it's just me and my mama.
-I'm sorry. -Sorry, I don't know why I...
I lost my dad as well.
Yeah.
He had lost his father, too.
So we really understood each other.
You know, it felt like we connected.
Do you ever feel like you just kind of know somebody
without knowing anything about them?
-You know what I'm trying to say? -Yeah
When his eyes were looking in mine.
It felt like I could feel my father's hand on my shoulder.
-You've never been, right? -No.
Like...even that was OK because it led to this.
I only met you 20 minutes ago, but
I, I would love to see you again.
It's like he made a deal with someone up there.
Yeah.
We did long distance for a bit.
He arranged, like, for us to play games online and things.
This is what happens every time. You
-don't trust me, you lose. -Yeah, we used to talk, like
-OK....you're gonna lose it please... -Whenever we could.
Which one?
The vest, please.
OK.
Very nice.
Happy?
I'm happy.
I miss you.
He even met my mama like that.
Hi.
Ben.
Mrs Sousa, Ola!
How are you?
Hi, Ola.
I'm good.
Finally, finally, once more I was complete.
So I came to London.
Ah, my daughter! At last!
Yes.
Are you all right, darling?
I'm very worried about you.
My heart is tight, it's not a good feeling.
Is everything all right there? Are you traveling? How are you? Tell me everything.
I'm arriving at work, I'm going to have to hang up. But call me later, will you, darling?
Take care.
Bye.
I missed you.
I missed you so much.
How was it?
It was good?
-How was it? -It was good.
-It was amazing? -Yeah. These are for you.
Wow, they're gorgeous.
Oh, this music.
Do you like it?
Yeah, this is like you and me.
It is.
Wanna do a spin?
No, no, you do a spin for me.
Mmm.
I love it.
Yeah, I was thinking it would be good for the club, you know?
Like with the lights on, I think it will work.
You think so?
Yeah.
I was also hoping maybe I can see the club soon?
Get an idea for the business plan.
I'm wanna start planning things.
-Baby, he's not dead yet. -Oh Benny!
I just mean.
We can't start anything.
Yet, OK?
You have to just dream it first, baby.
All right?
Let that beautiful mind
drift off into its magic space.
That's the most important part, baby.
The intention.
-You leave the rest to me, OK? -OK
What's wrong?
Baby.
Nothing.
Baby.
The...the mess, Ariella.
I tidied.
Look, you've been living here for three months now, OK?
It's not a holiday.
When I go away from a business trip and I come back, it,
stresses me out when there's mess everywhere we spoke about it.
And you didn't say thank for your flowers either.
I'm sorry.
Sorry, I love them.
Thank you.
I love them.
No, I'm sorry.
-I'm being ridiculous. -You're not being ridiculous.
You're not being ridiculous.
Your hands are so cold.
-I missed you so much. -Yeah?
-Show me. -Yeah I will.
Show me.
Touch it higher.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
That's it.
See who that is.
Ariella, see who that is.
It's an old man.
What?
It's an old man.
Did he see you?
Yeah, I think so. He looks nice.
Fuck.
OK.
Who is that?
It's my uncle.
Uncle Maxie!
Guess we're hosting Friday night dinner.
Ariella, I need to go out and get food, OK?
Ariella, I need you to set up in here, OK?
The table and the chairs, everything, just like I showed you, OK?
Ariella?
Yeah?
Immaculate, OK?
Yeah.
-Immaculate. -OK.
I love you.
All right.
Uncle Maxie.
Ben had told me all about Uncle Maxie.
-Bring the car round to the front. -I know.
Ah, my darling.
How are you?
Shabbos.
Those stairs. I should have sold this place years ago.
You own this place?
Yeah he's the landlord.
He's the 'Lord of Soho'.
Wow.
My family got off the boat with nothing.
You know, he opened the first adult entertainment club
in the world ever.
Before him, the girls were on the street.
There's not a town or a city in this world
where this man hasn't made an impact on it.
Salt of the earth he is, and like a father to me.
Took me from the streets and made me the man I am today.
We owe him everything, don't we, Ben?
So, Ariella, what about you?
I've studied business for a bit, so...
I hope I can help with the club and stay in London.
Let's eat. -Looks really good.
So, I get a phone call at 3 o'clock in the morning.
The girls are stuck in this hotel. They've got no money.
And who do they call? Maxie to go and rescue them.
So, I have to drive down to the hotel,
pay the phone bill, and pick them all up.
I love it.
Baby, it's fine.
Go and talk, enjoy yourself. It's fine.
Oh, before you go, grab your passport.
We need this so we can do the visa.
Maxie, I'll pick you up at 10 o'clock
For your treatment.
Don't wanna be late again, otherwise Deborah will have my balls.
Night, Ariella.
Night, Ronnie.
-Lovely to see you. -Yeah, listen.
If you ever need anything,
Just give me a call alright? Anything.
Don't worry about it.
I know it can get crazy down here in London.
Believe me, I know this.
Thank you, Ronnie.
-All right. -Okay.
Take care.
-Goodnight. -Goodnight.
Bye.
Ben said I could work for Uncle Maxie.
He said he could sponsor my visa.
And I just...I wanted to make a good impression.
The love of a woman is the greatest gift in the universe.
I should know. I've made a fortune off it.
Which I did.
See you in my office on Monday.
And remember...
The best way to learn a business is from the ground up.
Books don't teach you nothing but to read.
Thank you, Maxie, for the opportunity.
-I really mean it. -Oh, good girl.
-Oh, you're gorgeous. -You too.
See you Monday.
I'll be sleeping over.
I don't believe...
Do you think I'm gonna feel differently about you?
I am not gonna feel differently about you.
I will never feel differently about you.
This is just what he wants, this is an old man.
I don't care.
He wants everything.
He wants everything that I have.
And you are the only thing that I have that means anything.
That's why he wants it.
That's all it is.
I need you to do this for me. I know that you don't want to.
-But I need you to do this for me. -No...
And it will just be once.
It will just be once.
And then we will never speak about it again.
I promise you.
And I will not look at you differently.
I will never look at you differently.
Please. Please.
Please.
Hey.
You're so brave.
You're so brave. You're stronger than me.
It's just you and me.
That's all I think about.
That's all there is.
Yeah? That's all there is.
Sit on the bed, please.
Don't make me ask things twice.
We need a photo for your visa.
Oh, you look sexy, baby.
I love those eyes.
Show me that tongue.
Great.
What's this dress?
It's for work later.
What am I doing?
Ben?
Ben!?
Ben the door's locked!
Police!
Come on now, Ariella!
You are resisting arrest!
-You promised we would play! -You are resisting arrest!
What am I gonna do?
I just need you to be yourself.
...Mum if you don't like the Doctor don't go.
I don't know what I'm gonna do with my mum.
It's this one, ain't it?
Thank you.
Hi! Hi! Come in.
You looked a bit cold that's all. It's a nice warm seat. -Boobies! Boobies? Breasts!
-I'm Gerald. -Ariella.
Lovely to meet you.
Thank you.
And I'm Sarah, his wife.
I'm no good at these games. You wanna have a go?
Marie?
Pass the bowl over to Rebecca she's great at this game.
What she's gonna do, she's got a word, she's gonna describe it,
and you've gotta guess what it is without her saying the word.
Go, go, go.
So, hens lay them.
Chickens lay them.
-Eggs? -Eggs!
The most watched sport
And most played-
-Soccer.
in the world?
Yes!
Shots!
This is round two, so...
This is round two, so by the timer
and have to sort of act it this time. But still don't say the word yeah?
Elephant? -Yes.
Oh, that was good! -Shot! Shot! Shot!
Quick, quick, quick, quick!
If you don't know it, leave it!
-Ah! -Erections!
Shot! Shot! Shot!
Have you...
Have you seen the upstairs?
Do you wanna come have a look?
Yeah.
Amazing architecture, Italian designer.
I'll show you round. Come on.
Turn left here.
Straight through that door.
I've gotta show you.
Can you see the way the architect designed all the lines? -Wow
So when the moonlight comes into the room
it brings out all the lines, it's a beautiful glow.
It's absolutely amazing, what do you think? -Yeah it's gorgeous.
-It's lovely, isn't it? -Yeah
What are you doing?
I mean what are you doing..?
No!
OK. OK.
Just...relax.
Ben, look, it's the new Brazillian.
I've done something wrong, apparently.
Can you come and sort it out please?
[whispering]
Shh.
Everyone loves you.
Everyone's obsessed with you.
I want you to do this.
I'm sorry. I was a bit rough.
I didn't mean to be, yeah?
Can we start again? Can we?
I really like you. I really do.
Do you kiss?
You're so beautiful.
Do you like that?
-Do you like it? -Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Do you like that?
Do you like it when I rub that pussy?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah? You do?
Oh, God.
Why are you just fucking standing there?
You're making me anxious.
Oh what you're in fucking pain?
You're in pain?
Fucking...
You're driving me fucking crazy, you know that?
Take this.
Good girl.
Swallow.
Now I'm going to bed. OK?
You shower before you come in.
You fucking stink.
Ben?
-Ben? -What the fuck do you want?
An abortion!?
You're a retard, you know that?
You are a fucking retard.
What is actually wrong with you? Were you diagnosed with something?
Or is it just your general lack of fucking education?
Hello!?
-How could you? -How could I?
-You want to talk about me when you go and fuck other men? -You made me!
I made you!? Like I suppose I made you come here.
Like I suppose I made you live your fucking dream life
And give you everything you fucking wanted?
-Here, here, here! For your fucking work! -Fuck you!
-Fuck me!? Fuck me!? What you gonna do!? -Fuck you!
What are you gonna do?
I want my mama.
You want your mother? You think your mother gives a fuck about you, Ariella?
Check your phone. How many missed calls? -I hate you!
-You hate me? What the fuck are you gonna do? -I hate you so much!
What are you gonna fucking do? What are you gonna do? Huh?
What are you gonna fucking do?
I could fucking...
Don't.
Don't move.
You're not fucking worth that are you? Shush. Shush. Shush.
You're not worth that, are you?
You're not worth anything.
You disgust me, Ariella.
I'm gonna shower. You wanna shower with me? Baby?
Baby come and shower with me.
Come and shower with me, Ariella.
Babe?
Ronnie.
Baby.
I'm sorry.
I want you to come in here, I wanna make love to you.
Babe!
Ariella?
Babe? Where are you going?
I was just gonna make us dinner.
Babe.
Where are you gonna go!?
"The Lord is ready to receive you Soho!"
"They say they don't judge you without curse..."
-Are you okay? -Don't touch me!
Can I help? Are you-
I need a phone. Can I have your phone, please?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Thank you.
Ronnie? Ronnie, please, can you come and get me?
Please, hurry. Where am I?
You're on the corner of Greek Street and Shaftesbury Avenue
The corner of Greek Street and Shaftesbury Avenue.
Yes, please hurry, thank you. OK bye.
Thank you.
Do you want us to call the Police?
No! No, no, no, no, no. No, it's just some bitch at the club.
-All right.Take care, yeah? -Thank you, yeah.
You see her?
Pull up - there she is over there - pull up.
Just park it in front. Let me get out.
Heya, hey, hey. Come on, come on.
Let's get out of here. It's not safe, all right?
In you get.
Come on, Solly. Let's go.
Relax. Relax. Relax.
You can lay low with me till tomorrow morning, okay?
You will tell me everything?
Good. Then we can get him.
I'm so sorry.
You'll be safe with me.
Thank you, Ronnie.
Solly, make a right here.
-You okay? All right? -Thank you so much, Ronnie.
No problem.
Got to look after you, Princess.
That's it give us a smile.
You're safe now. Don't worry about a thing.
No-one's gonna touch you. No-one's gonna harm you.
No, Ronnie, no.
No. No. No. No.
No. What are you doing?
No, you said you would take me back.
No, you said you would...
-Ronnie, no! No! -Shush. Shush.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
No. No. No. No.
-Babe It's me. It's me. It's me. Calm down. -No. Get away! No.
Calm down. Calm down. Shush.
-Shush. It's me. Baby it's me. -No!
You're home, you're home.
It's me. You had me terrified. Come here. You had me terrified.
-Are you okay? Is she okay? You okay? -Yeah.
You're with me. You're with me. You're safe. You're safe.
You're with me okay? You're with me.
Hey I'm here. I'm here.
I booked you a flight.
And, uh, I put some money in your account.
I can get your passport today, OK?
[sigh]
I didn't...I didn't want it to end up like this.
Things just got so...out of control.
You just have this effect on people, Ariella.
You're so much stronger than me.
There's a way for you to do this...
however you want to do it.
My uncle hasn't got long left.
This is just from last night.
This is just the beginning.
We'll do this.
We'll keep paying him.
And then we'll have it all.
Just you and me.
I would tell myself that it was out of love.
That he needed me.
He...that he wouldn't lie about...
About this.
That I was saving him.
When I saw that money...
I was doing what was right.
I was finally being an adult. And I was taking responsibility. And...
And so...
I took my bag.
And I voluntarily wheeled myself into hell.
[Hebrew prayer]
Good Yom Tov.
Remember, remember, no touching!
So we've got 14, 20, 12 to beat.
Hello! Yes just there.
Look at David's son.
The moment he passed away, he sold it.
And now it's a fringe theatre.
A fucking fringe theatre in the heart of Soho.
Deborah is going to be protected.
At the time of your passing, 70% of all of your shares will go to me.
And I will manage everything.
And the rest of it will go to Deborah, and she will be looked after.
So, Gerald, you've looked all over this, I presume?
It's all about legacy, yeah?
Leaving the business in the right hands.
And I think you're doing the right thing.
If I may say.
I'll think about it.
-Are you sure you won't join us for the Seder, Ronnie? -Maxie, I can't, I can't get my mum out-
[chatter]
-Welcome, everybody, to my house. -Thank you for having us.
-On yet another Pesach. -Thank you.
Do you want to start us off?
-I'll read. Dad. -No. no.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
I need my glasses.
Where did you last have them?
He had them in the car. They'll be in his coat.
I'll go.
I'll get them.
[chatter]
I wish to transfer 70% of my shares in Stockman Entertainment Ltd
to Benjamin Stockman
at the time of my death.
The remaining 30% wil remain in my estate
and hence to my daughter Deborah Stockman.
Gerald's been great, sorting everything out.
Helping me look after this man, making sure he's alright.
Why is this night different from all other nights?
Because on this night we remember we were slaves.
So what do you want to do?
Come on, don't be shy.
I, uh...
Sex?
Please?
No.
Cum for me, baby.
Thank you, Jack. That was amazing.
You said that was 40, right?
Thank you.
See you around.
Are you OK?
No, I'm not fucking OK. What's wrong with you?
Just some 'John'. You?
It's my uncle.
The more ill he gets, the more sorry I feel for him. I don't fucking understand it.
It's normal. It's just part of life. You'll be OK.
Stop rubbing me.
I'm not a fucking child.
You need to put a smile on your fucking face. It's busy.
Yes?
Love you.
Yeah.
And so this is how it went.
I can't even say for how long. Maybe...
Maybe a year?
[chatter]
You never know who's coming through that door.
And that's the worst part of all.
Not the pain or the abuse, but the fear.
Let's go.
So don't even think about it. I promise you,
When you've done this a couple of times,
It's just...it just becomes a normal.
It's not nice, but I promise you this will keep you going.
It means you don't have to stop work, OK? -OK.
All right, pull it out.
Don't look at it. It's not nice. Don't look at it.
But that's going to keep you working on your period.
So you just do this inbetween each guy, you'll be fine.
I would service 10 to 20 men a day.
And I would hardly ever sleep.
I love you.
He would take me out and...
You're incredible, you know that?
You make me feel, I dunno, different.
You make me feel...
Say yes then, you stupid fucking cunt!
He could get angry if I didn't make enough, but...
I dunno like complete or something, you know?
What, relationships don't have fights, right?
-No stay. Stay with me. -I have to be, I have to meet somebody.
I have to meet somebody, it's late.
Who do you have to meet?
Maybe I can stay tomorrow. Maybe I can stay tomorrow.
You can stay tomorrow?
Yeah. Yeah, I can do tomorrow.
-Alright gorgeous! -What do you want?
It changes everything, you'll see.
If you put on this nail, you feel more powerful.
Yes.
It's incredible.
You just put the glue on these nails and press it on and that's it.
But you'll see that it changes a lot, you feel much more powerful.
Yes.
It's incredible.
Get on the bed.
On all fours, right now.
Sometimes the Police would come.
And once I even got arrested.
Who's Ben?
My Boyfriend.
But I told them the truth. Ben was my boyfriend.
It's off.
No boyfriend, nobody who loves you would want you to do this.
I wanted to do this.
And I know him.
You're not the first person who's been here, I'm sorry to say.
You're not the first.
But maybe, maybe you could be the last.
-I love you. -I love you
Do you really want to be doing this?
-Come on, why did you come here? For that? -Hey baby
I want you to take this please.
Please.
Please, it's from a charity, it's nothing to do with me,
it's nothing to do with the Police.
You don't have to say anything to me.
Ariella, your passport, Ben.
They didn't give you anything, did they?
Give me? No.
Like a, I don't know, a number or something?
No. They didn't give me anything.
Except a hard time.
So, you're going to take me out?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Where do you want to go?
That place on the corner.
If you think
for one single second, that this could be you,
then you should call that number.
They can get you out.
They can get you home.
You know, if you ever left me I'd jump in this water.
-You would jump in the water? -Yeah. If you ever did.
-That's crazy. -I would jump, and you can't swim in this water either.
You should jump from the top of the thing.
I'm being serious.
Yeah?
Yeah.
-Why are you saying you'd die without me? -I'm saying that I wouldn't want to live, yeah.
Would you? Would you want to live if I wasn't here?
Probably not.
Yeah...
All of your years, you never loved anyone?
I never met anyone. Never met anyone. No.
You meet people. But it's not the same. It's not this.
But you're so handsome.
-You're so...you're a catch. -It's not about that. It's about the mind though.
It's about how we think. It's about the connection that we have.
It's different than anything I've ever had. You haven't ever had this before?
-Course not. -It doesn't happen.
It doesn't happen.
It doesn't happen anywhere. It doesn't happen here.
Well, I'm lucky.
Maybe...
I think we're both lucky.
-Why are you scared? -It's not...Yeah, I am scared.
-I am scared. Well, I am scared. A little bit.. -You don't have to be scared.
I don't know whether you want to go back to Brazil. You want to go?
No I don't want to go back to Brazil.
I just want it to be just us, like...
-It will be just us. -Yeah.
-Unless we have children, then it won't be- -Just..yeah..
-But I don't want that yet. -No.
-I don't want that yet either, no. -Well, maybe one day.
Yeah.
They'd be beautiful.
-They would be beautiful. -They'd be so beautiful.
-They would be beautiful children. -They'd have your eyes.
And they would have your...heart.
What?
I just want to thank you for being the way that you are with me.
And I'm not always, like, the easiest person to be around, so...
-You are. -No, I know.
But sometimes I can be, you know...
You know how I can be sometimes.
-But everybody has those times though right? -Yeah, they do, yeah.
But now everyone, like...
Can be the way you are about it, you know what I'm saying?
So thank you.
You can go anywhere you want to go.
-Do anything. -And be anyone you want to be.
Maybe I'll change my name.
Oh, yeah?
What are you going to change it to?
-Mrs. Stockman? -Yeah, maybe!
-Sounds good, right? -If you ask me.
-I do have to ask you, I suppose. -Ariella "Stockman"...
"Stockman"...
-Mrs. Stockman.... -Mrs Stockman...
Ariella Stockman,
-What? Does it suit me? -Are you scared right now or are you scared?
-I'm not scared. Are you scared? -No.
You ever thought you'd have a wife?
This was my life.
This was my job.
It wasn't my dream job,
but, who does their dream job?
And soon...I forgot.
I was grateful to him.
For giving me this opportunity.
This life.
Mazel.
Congratulations, Maxie.
Great.
Well, I think we ought to propose a toast.
To Maxie.
His heir.
The future of the business
and everything we've worked so hard for.
L'chaim.
Here's the file from the arrest.
OK, I had to pull a lot of strings to get this for you.
Am I a good lawyer or am I a good lawyer?
She still won't testify, though.
Yep her, Ariella.
This is perfect.
You know, Deb,
your dad has signed a last will and testament.
If Ben is arrested, it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll inherit your dad's shares.
You know that right?
We're starting palliative care.
What's that?
It's end of life care. There's nothing more they can do.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
He wants to be home when it happens.
Have you considered 'Power of Attorney'?
What's that?
When a relative is no longer able to manage their estate or their legal matters,
they might be ill or elderly. Someone else can get the power to exercise that right.
So?
So it means you, my dear, would make all the business decisions.
You would put all your dad's shares into your name.
While he's alive, you put them all into your name,
But you leave one in your dad's name.
And then, when he does pass away,
Ben will inherit 70% of that one share.
70% of one share? What do I have to do to make that happen?
Oh, it's all on the government website. Fill in the form, print it off.
Your Dad signs it. You sign it.
An independent witness signs it. Then that's it.
Meet me at Dads later and send me the link for that form.
-Deb- -Look we don't have much time
this is is a big deal, Lau, for all involved.
OK...
Can we have a look at this one, please?
Of course.
Thank you.
-Can we try it on? -Yeah, certainly.
OK...
Thank you, sir.
This looks beautiful.
My hair again.
We'll take it.
-Fantastic. -Thank you.
Actually, can you, um...
Of course.
Let's try that one.
There you go...
Hello, you.
Hiya.
Give me a kiss.
I have some news.
He signed.
Maxie, I need you to sign something for me.
Come on. Take the pen.
This is what we discussed, do you remember?
Come, give me a hand. I just need you to sign this.
It's so that Deborah can look after everything for you, keep it all safe.
The properties, the businesses. Come on, just sign there.
Fantastic. Well done. OK.
And the next one.
Just here as well.
Gerry?
It's bad news, I'm afraid.
Erm, I'm with the old man. He's handing 'Power of Attorney' over to Deborah.
How long do we have?
Legally. She could sort it out very, very quickly.
Tomorrow afternoon
Deborah could drain all of Maxie's shares into her name.
And leave you with 70% of nothing when he passes.
It's unfortunate.
Goodbye, Maxie.
Ronnie.
The chairman's gone with the lady.
Send him my regards tomorrow morning.
Otherwise it's too late.
It's unfortunate, Ron.
It's very unfortunate.
-Hi, Ronnie. -How's he doing?
Not well at all.
Could you get us a cup of tea?
Ronnie.
This is for the best.
Thank you.
Shh.
[singing in Hebrew]
Wish you long life.
-My cousin and then we can talk about it outside. -Alright.
-Thank you. -Thank you. Appreciate it.
Wish you long life, Deb.
Don't worry. I'll look after you.
Come on Rachel.
If you think I'm gonna let you have it, you grubby little pimp,
I'm gonna take you for everything you have. You understand me?
Don't make a scene, Deborah.
Rachel.
Let's go.
Yeah walk away. I'll see you in court!
Walk away! Go on!
Pimp!
Look at the coward.
One man who's at the front of this is the recently deceased
Maximilian 'Maxie' Stockman.
Maxie opened the first strip club in the world
The Lions Club.
It still operates today.
I'm here to here to meet up with Maxie's great-nephew and recent heir Ben Stockman.
To discuss his uncle's legacy, the future of The Lions Club,
And recent allegations against him by Maxie's daughter, Deborah.
They've always wanted to rid my uncle of his licence.
And that's what that was about.
They wanted to rid him of his licence so that they can come in
-and take control over another Soho property. -Right
..and continue just to rip the heart and the soul out of this entire area.
Unsuccessful they were, as Maxie's Soho empire grew,
as the 'Lord of Soho' continued to buy property in the area,
Many of which you'll see a strange handwritten sign on the door.
Hiya! Come on in.
How long have you been doing this for?
So, God, it must be about 15 years now.
I actually was at medical school.
Just trying to figure out how to pay the fees.
The money starts rolling in and then you get regular clients.
I'm taking holidays. I'm doing things I've never done before.
I'm not for my money.
And what do you think of people who say
that prostitution is all related
to human trafficking?
I don't think all prostitution is related to human trafficking
in any way, shape or form.
Some girls get very unlucky.
Some girls are not smart enough to know
what's going on around them.
Other girls, unfortunately, have very
unsupportive families
who push them into this and then pretend
that they don't know what's going on.
Everybody knows what's going on.
But people turn a blind eye
and to be honest with you,
most of the girls that I
know that have been 'trafficked',
they've got a nice lifestyle.
The rent is the issue.
Look at the buildings.
They need these back.
They want us out. They want the rent.
I just really came here
because I fell in love
and it wasn't like I
was happy where I was.
And he knows what you do?
Yes, yes, he does.
What does he do?
He...he's a businessman.
It's just a job. It's just
enough to keep me independent
and pay for everything that I need.
Look.
I don't believe you.
How?
I don't know, Photoshop or something.
Let me show you and then I'll never come back.
I swear on my daughter's life, please, Ariella.
Do you know what this is like for me? The guilt?
Please let me help you, bubba.
Please.
What are you afraid of? The truth?
What did he say? That he'll be with you?
That he'll marry you?
Well then why hasn't he?
My father's dead. What's stopping him?
I have to work.
I'll be outside.
Waiting all night.
-Hey, gorgeous. -How you doing baby?
I'm good. Yourself?
Yeah, I'm really good.
So, what do you want?
Um, something exotic.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
You sexy, baby.
Where are you from?
I'm from Brazil, baby.
Brazil?
Very nice.
Where's she from?
I'm from Russia, baby.
We're almost there.
-Why are you doing this? -Just watch.
You're sick. You're fucking sick, you know that?
I don't even know why I came with you. I feel sorry for you.
Just leave me alone.
-It's his cousin. -Why is he staying over?
-I don't know, he's babysitting or something. -It's not his cousin. It's his wife.
I'm so sorry.
He's tricked you. You're a victim, bubba.
You've been trafficked.
There's no shame.
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault, Ariella.
You have a fucking wife!?
Baby, it's over between us, she means nothing to me!
You just told me you fucking loved me.
How could I be so fucking blind!?
I'm your whore.
Baby, I do love you.
Of course I love you.
I'm your slave!
Do not listen to a fucking word she says.
She wants it for herself. She's trying to get in your fucking head.
Fuck you.
Baby, please. Just think about this, OK?
I will kick her out of the fucking house
right now if you just come inside.
Please, baby.
I want my daughter to meet her new mama.
Please, baby. Just come inside.
-Please. -Ariella, come on.
Just come inside, please. I can explain it.
I will explain it to you, Ariella. Please.
Ariella, please. Please.
Don't get in the car. Please.
Don't get in the car. Don't drive off.
Do not fucking drive the car Deborah I'm warning you.
Do not fucking drive the car.
Do not fucking drive this car away from me!
I'm fucking warning you do not drive the fucking car off!
Do not drive this fucking car off!
Baby?
You there?
Ariella?
What?
What do you fucking want? Just tell me.
To testify, to speak to the police.
No.
Come on camera then, just talk to the camera.
Then you can go home, I'll help you. I'll pay.
I don't want your fucking money.
Just let me out, please.
Think of the other girls, Ariella.
Do you think it stops with you?
I know you don't want to hear this,
but you can make a difference.
I can't do this without you.
I just want to go home.
And then what?
He won't find you? He knows where you live, right?
Your family.
I mean, what do you think he'll do to them?
Please, Ariella, just think for a second, clearly.
Just tell me your story.
I won't judge you.
You're a victim.
Stop fucking saying that!
I'm sorry.
You think this is your fault.
You think you made decisions, but you didn't.
It's all his tactics.
You think you made all these decisions voluntarily,
but that's the trafficking.
We've been made to believe it's just a violent crime,
but really it's not.
Not normally, and I know that hurts you,
because you are fiercely intelligent and street smart
and emotionally intelligent, so you don't want to accept the truth.
That I'm stupid.
That even someone like you with all your brains
and your passion and your ambition
can fall victim to this crime.
Because it's not a crime of the head, bubba.
It's of the heart.
It can happen to anyone.
I've seen them do this my whole life.
Do you really want anyone else to ever go through this?
No, no I don't.
Please.
Please will you testify?
Just tell me your story tonight and
tomorrow you go home.
I need my stuff, I need my passport.
Can you take me?
Come on, let's go.
I can't be the first person.
How many girls?
Now we get him.
We shut it down.
It's over.
You can go home.
Hey.
We'll, leave for the airport in 15 minutes. Is that OK?
Thank you, Deborah.
And you have your confirmation and boarding pass on your phone?
Yeah.
Can I check the details?
My husband booked it, he's a bit of an idiot.
Sure.
Thank you.
Oh, I forgot my glasses. One second.
Deborah!?
Deborah?
Deborah!?
Deborah?
Ben?
Deborah?
Have you got something for me?
Shall we do this?
Gentleman...
Great.
Excellent, there you go.
-Nice doing business with you. -You too, thank you.
Thank you.
See you Monday then, partner.
Pleased we could sort this.
Me too.
Come here.
Do you mind taking Gerry home for me?
I'll drive him.
Go to a hardware store.
Get two shovels.
And you wait for my call.
Shut up!
You're a whore.
I've made so many like you.
You're all the same.
Desperate, weak, easy.
I've known about you Ariella for years.
From your cousin.
Cum for me baby.
