If I give up my job, you'll take her back?

How? You owe me.

You have 8 weeks left to pay your debt.

Then you'll leave.

Business is that.

So that's what I am to you.

Business.

What do you want?

Look she's Maggie. She took my job.

Doesn't sound too good, does it?

Taking someone's job, my job, you f***ing b*tch.

Why you're here?

Why?

Feel guilty or come to see how poorly I live?

Or come to help?

I thought we were friends.

Friends, yes. I had a good job, good money. I help you, I teach you.

I even told Miky how good you are.

And that's a friend, I think.

And what did you do?

I didn't do anything.

You didn't do anything? You took my clients, you f***ing tourist.

Maybe -

Maybe just f*** off.

Got a cigarette?

How is your arm?

Miss Irina, please let me have the honor to show you something.

Just across the road, here.

Piazza Irina P.

That's for the best pay.

What happened to your arm?

Penis Elbow.

You don't just wank the panties, you train the girls.

With you here, this'll be the classiest place in Soho.

And you get 15% of all the girls earnings, in top of your earn.

What do you say?

But I still owe Miky.

How much do you owe?

Over P 4,000.

I'll take care of that.

You owe me. What do you say?

I've had an offer.

Who?

Someone called Dave, Sex-o-Roma.

It's a lot of money.

But I still owe you.

Tell me when you leave.

Where is she?

Maggie!

Maggie, stop please.

Why? I mean nothing to you.

I'm just another Luisa.

You are not Luisa.

Of course not, I'm valuable.

I'm business.

what I was thinking,

work in a place like that.

It's like being a Madam.

What am I doing here Miky?

I don't know what you are doing here.

I just came for Olly.

Who is Olly?

My grandson. He's dying.

He's dying and I'm wanking. It's mess.

What am I gonna do?

But you said yes?

No, I didn't. At leat I think I didn't.

- What do you want to do?

- Stay.

You should smile more.

Mom?

Hi Jane, it's me, Tom.

Tom, do you know what time it is?

Yes, I know, sorry it's late.

Is mom there? Just -

Of course not, why would she be? Is there a problem?

No, it's nothing. I remember, a thing, she's... she's somewhere else.

Are you sure?

Yes, okay, no, no, it's nothing.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

She said it was a secret.

And?

She left.

Went to America.

Wanted to be a doctor or find someone who coul give her ...

You never saw her again?

No ??.

How come you ended up in a place like this?

I hate people.

??

For retirement, if it's ever finished.

You know

I really do like your smile.

I like the way you work.

Thanks for walking me.

What'll I do about Dave?

I'll sort it out, it's okay.

I think I better go, I can't miss the last train.

Pretty sling.

How's that feel?

Not bad. It's a bit stiff.

It'll be alright in a couple of days.

Ease yourself back into it.

Take it easy.

Bye!

Goodbye and thank you very much.

It's nothing. It's been an honor to treat Irina Palm.

Bye girls!

After next one tell Maggie to come to my office.

I just want to see if you're alright.

Olly's dying, you're on the game, sunshine, what more can I want?

Tom.

I'm taking your money back.

I know you must be -

You must be what?

You must to understand!

No, I don't understand. No, I don't understand, not a thing.

I don't understand advanced maths, I don't understand black holes

or why people like the Beatles. I don't understand, I don't understand

why my mother is a whore.

I'm not a whore.

Tom, I think you should apologize..

Sorry, sorry, sex worker. Isn't that the bullshit term for a whore these days?

I'm not a whore, take that back.

I'm paying your money back, every penny. Every f***ing penny!

Every penny, mom!

Tom, please.

Every penny, and it's not enough so in the world that can clean what you've been doing.

- Tom are going to stop it now? - Every slimy penny!

We can't get the money back.

Don't tell me what I can do!

Stop telling me!

For the last five years people have been telling me: do this, do that

don't do this, don't do that, try this, try that, don't try this,

Just leave me alone! Don't f***ing tell me!

I don't regret what I've done.

And don't you ever call me that word again.

If you ever set foot in that place again, you'll never see Olly again.

Ever.

Never! Never!

He will not have grandmother who's a whore.

Tell them you're not coming back.

Tom, I -

You tell them, now!

It's not that simple.

I don't care mom. You tell them now, please.

Tell them now, right now, right this minute. Tell them please!

Sexy World.

Hello?

Can I speak to Miky, please?

Thank you.

Miky, this is Maggie.

What happened?

I'm sorry but it's my son.

I will coming back.

You have to.

Yes, I know -

Listen, she's not ever coming back.

Do you hear?

You're f***ing money! I'll bring it back!

Hi Maggie.

Hello.

Now meet the woman of mystery.

Yes, what's all this about the job?

It's no mystery.

Why all the secrecy?

I must say I was rather shocked by your behaviour.

I think someone's got a little secret.

Spill the ??, Maggs.

I've forgot ?? Maggs, what you're talking about isn't something dramatically interesting.

I wank men off.

Wank?

Masturbation?

You masturbate men?

Is that boring enough for you?

Why?

Money.

Whithout wishing to prime ??, how does it, not really anyone business of course, but -

How, how did you do?

Well, they stick their c*cks

through a whole in the wall

I wank them off, they come,

end of story.

Miky says I've got the best right hand in London.

Miky?

Club owner.

In Soho?

Sexy World.

I'm Irina Palm.

I'm the best.

Irina Palm?

Stage name.

Everyone has one.

These look delicious Jane,

Did you make them yourself?

Yes.

When you say c*cks, are any of them... are any of them... are they -

Big?

Yes.

Well, sometimes..

Every now and then, you do get one.

That's, well, I'm talking...

Penis Elbow.

Penis Elbow?

Yes.

Well,

goodbye.

I was just thinking of Trevor, if he'd been alive, would you have told him?

No, probably not.

I'm not giving back the money, it's for Olly.

Stop being so obstinate.

I don't care how she got the money. She got it that's all that matters.

To you, maybe.

Stop being so f***ing sanctimonious.

Thomas! Thomas!

Look we all ?? about what we would do for our kid,

how precious they are, how we would die for them.

Well, I've just found out what that means.

God knows if ??

But Maggie put herself in the line. For my son.

And I'm grateful.

Thanks.

How is he?

He'll come around.

I came here to say, to say -

Thanks, really.

It hasn't been a great deal between us, I know... What you've done!

We want you to come with us.

But you need the money.

It'll be a bit less.

Tom will come around, I'm sure he will.

Tell me he's gonna be alright.

Please!

Please tell me he's gonna be okay.

Busy.

Merry Christmas, Maggie.

Oh... we are honered.

Packet of ??, please Edith.

By the way, given your new profession I found, how should I say this,

a more salubrious partner.
