This is my house! This is my life! I think maybe you should go back to your mum's.
I'm sorry.

.
but you need what I can give you.
Secret Diary of a Call Girl Season 4, Episode 7 So this is it.
Look, I know what I said inside but if you want to stay for a couple more days It's fine.
I'll be fine.
Everything's fine.
It seems silly to leave mum's big old house standing empty.
If you need anything, all right, anything at all, you just - I'll manage.
Big girl, all grown up.
Of course you are.
Bye.
Who would you rather be? Busy day? Yes.
But, you know what? I can reschedule.
Because today, I don't know, I don't want to go to work.
I'd rather spend the day with my gorgeous boyfriend.
That's you, by the way.
Thanks.
Love to.
Can't.
Have you seen the bar keys anywhere? Well, what if you were ill? You know, something bad but completely realistic like bird flu or Bubonic Plague.
Then I could just take care of you.
Picture of health.
Fine, then I'll just call and tell them you've been kidnapped.
And that it's going to take one whole day for me to find the ransom money.
Because I'm worth it, right? Of course you are.
Then we've just have to work on that trust thing.
Come on, Ben.
We've finally got the place to ourselves.
Let's have some fun.
You know, be bad with me.
Be bad with me.
Go to work, Han.
I couldn't make the change I might have known you had found So what have I missed? Bit of angst, lot of smoking.
So? I followed you.
Right.
You're not angry? No.
Never had a stalker before.
I just wanted to say sorry.
I sort of messed things up for you, didn't I? That wasn't ideal.
Erm, I was hoping that we could, you know, start again.
Forget the whole bed stunt and try the friends thing? Never did grudges.
Truce? Truce.
Hi.
Hi.
Up? Or were you planning on going down? No.
Allow me.
So is this a permanent career choice or are you just moonlighting? What can I say? Living the dream one floor at a time.
You know, I called and you didn't.
Hope you're not trying to avoid me? You know how it is.
Busy, busy.
I've got a client.
He likes role play.
Very specific.
And you take instruction so well.
This is nice.
Expensive? Very.
Sometimes it's good to blend in.
Does that mean you're undercover? You know, women usually find my job a turn on.
Whoa, must be hellish for you.
Thanks for being so understanding.
I think this is where you get off.
Yeah.
Why is it that people just love to dress up? We're all guilty.
The new haircut, that make-up we can't really afford.
Just the little things we do to try and turn ourselves into someone else.
All to find that day, that hour, that moment that makes us feel like we're really living.
reality can be so overrated.
He's here.
Special delivery.
How very mysterious.
I'm feeling very faint.
Make sure we're not disturbed.
Of course.
Now! Now! Ooh, sorry.
This is Ambrose.
A highly-regarded serious film critic for a magazine you probably buy every week He has a passion for old horror movies.
And little old me, of course.
Ah, the Ah, the children of the night.
What music they make! Who are you? What do you want from me? Do not be afraid.
I am, Dracule.
And I have come for you, my child.
No.
Soon you will know what it is to have me inhabit your very soul.
But first you must sleep.
Sleep! And the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress goes to Ooh So? What did you think? If they did it in 3D? You know, with the glasses like Avatar.
Philistine.
You want some? No, I'm fine.
Actually, I should probably get going.
Well Or we could just hang out? I was going to go and meet some uni friends later.
There's this cool place on the South Bank.
They don't bite.
Honest.
I should get back.
I promised to spend the day with Han.
Or rather, she offered.
Sure.
That's fine.
No problem.
Then I guess I'll just see you around? Yeah.
Definitely see you around.
Bye, then.
Bye, then.
How's your son Gabriel finding Oxford's dreaming spires? Do you know what? I often wonder what that would have been like.
Just partying and punting and .
.
you know, other things beginning with P Ahem.
Wakey-wakey, Count D.
Tea's up.
Hello! Ambrose.
Anyone home? You all right? Amb Ambrose? Ambrose? Ben.
I Shit, I can't talk now.
No, of course you can't.
Fuck! It's getting dark and it's getting cold And the nights are getting long And I don't know if you'll even notice That I'm long gone, babe, long gone And the things that keep us apart keep me alive The things that keep me alive Belle And the things that keep us apart keep me alive And the things that keep me alive keep me alone Hi, this is Ben.
Leave me a message.
Thank you.
Ben, it's me.
Erm I don't know I don't know where I am.
Something's happened.
It's fine.
I'm fine.
Can you give me a call when you get this, please? You OK? He He died.
Oh, God I didn't think that you'd come.
Neither did I.
I shouldn't have come.
I Well, then, why did you? Sometimes it's hard to hold onto the person you love when they're never fucking there.
You still love her? I've always loved her.
That's the problem.
Oh, I suppose people want what they want.
Well, maybe you just don't get a choice.
Yeah, like family.
Are you all right? Yes.
See the marketplace in old Algiers Send me photographs Hey.
No, you're all right.
Your need's greater than mine.
All right.
His son had just got into Oxford.
So proud of him, you wouldn't have believed it.
He was funny, Harry.
He just had this silly little thing he liked to do and I helped him do it.
You know, some people get to you some people make you care - whether you want to or not.
He wasn't even 40.
I mean, that's not even half a life.
At least he got the best half.
I mean, think about it.
Never have to see that first grey hair in the mirror.
Never have to get up in the middle of the night and pee.
Never have to watch the Antiques Roadshow.
Yeah, but you never get to see your son graduate.
It's just too sad.
Yeah.
Life's a bitch.
Come on.
I want to show you something.
'Ben, it's me.
Erm I don't know where I am.
Something's happened.
Can you give me a call when you get this, please? Shit! More games? Surprise.
Ow! My phone's ringing.
Will you get my phone? Who is it? Er, it's withheld.
What the fuck, Hannah? Where are we? Can I just take this off? No, no, wait! Just give me a second.
Ooh, easy, tiger! OK.
No.
Allow me.
Thought you could use a little perspective.
It's cool, isn't it? I mean, look at all those people down there, just living their lives.
Do you ever wonder how they do it? Wife, kids, Sunday lunch with the family.
All those things that are supposed to make you happy.
Well, maybe it does.
You know, I used to look down on them, until I realised, they were the lucky ones.
Harry! You feel that, right? Adrenaline.
Heart beats a little faster.
Eyes get a little wider.
But suddenly, life gets sweeter.
That is why I love coming up here.
It's where we belong Look! You can see it all.
You can feel it all.
You can be who you are.
Look! No! Oh, my God! Why? Why fight it? I mean, we both need more from life than the average Joe.
Or Ben.
That's a cheap shot.
It's the truth.
Because there really is nothing worse than predictability.
I can't.
You can.
You can do anything you want.
I've never lied to Ben.
Never.
Just take me home.
Hannah, I'm really worried about you now so just call me when you get this, please.
No kiss good night? I think we should just try and be like good friends.
You best go home, Belle.
Yes.
Shit, Han It's OK.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Who's that? No-one.
Your message scared me.
I freaked out.
It was a client.
It was nothing.
This isn't you, Hannah.
Fuck.
Just kiss me, Ben.
Please.
Please kiss me.
Please.
You OK? Yeah.
Everything's OK.
Everything's fine.
So, what can I do for you today? You're really a natural at this game.
You were born for it.
Every decision has consequences.
I love you, Hannah.
I want to build a future with you.
I shouldn't be doing this.
You shouldn't resist what you know you want.
I know what I want.
You.
And there's always a day of reckoning.
It's your decision, Han.
Who do you want to be?
I know, I just spoke to Stephanie.
Tame copper.
I want to book you.
