Apartment 407 (Selling Isobel)

What you're about to see

is not just based on a true story,

it's based on my true story,

a story I lived through

and memories I live with every day.

There are millions of people out there right now

being bought and sold.

I want to share this film for awareness

and not as a victim, as a survivor.

Happy anniversary.

Happy anniversary.

You gonna make me a nice breakfast?

Huh, I think you should be making me a nice breakfast.

How do you know I didn't?

Mm.

Because in three years,

when did you ever make me a nice breakfast?

Go on then, now's your chance, eh?

It's not gonna make itself.

Well, we could make breakfast together.

Or...

We'll make something else entirely.

Um, I'd rather just have breakfast,

-but thanks for the offer. -No, no, no, no, no.

Um...

Mommy, I'm hungry.

Oh no, too bad, sweetie.

No breakfast today.

His majesty here would rather sleep than feed his girls.

But I'm hungry.

Okay, let's see what we can scrape up.

His majesty?

No!

Look what he's done.

Apology accepted.

Yeah, that's good, keep it goin', keep it goin'.

Chest relaxed.

Keep your chest open.

Lengthen your arms.

Protect your backs.

How's your back, Maria?

You have 10 more seconds, 10, nine, eight,

seven, six, five, four,

three, two, one, hold it.

Is it burning yet?

- Yes. - Good!

Hey Maria, you looked really good out there today.

Eh, I looked okay.

You feeling stronger?

Yes, yes.

So you're coming tomorrow?

Uh, no.

-No? -No. The insurance company,

they, you know, they stopped paying for the classes,

so I'm going to take a break, I guess.

That sounds to me like you're not gonna come back.

I want to,

it's expensive, so.

You sure this is your last class?

Yes, yes, today is the last.

'Cause it looks to me that you have five more classes

in your account.

No, no, I looked, it's definitely the last one today.

Well, I'm looking right now,

and you definitely have five more classes in your account.

But I looked this morning, it say--

We're gonna get you better, okay?

We're gonna get you stronger.

-Well, thank you. -Come here.

Spare a dollar?

Spare a dollar?

Spare a dollar?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

- Just one? - Yeah, just one, sorry.

Thanks.

Spare a dollar?

Um, I don't know if I have any change.

Let me s-- let me look.

Lady, it's just a dollar.

I don't have any change.

- Really? - I'm, I'm sorry.

Cigarette?

I don't smoke.

Great, we got a healthy one here, yay.

What are you looking at?

You gonna eat all this?

Come on, dude.

What?

Really?

- Yeah. - Really?

Yeah.

It's just a sandwich.

She paid for it.

You know what, have it, it's fine, have it.

Fuck you.

Nice to meet you.

Excuse me, miss?

Can I-- can I have the other half?

Sure.

No one eats.

Um, check please?

Seriously, that was nice, not even a thank you,

you're-- you're a good person.

Um, I'm sorry to bother you again.

First you get your sandwich taken,

and then, now you gotta deal with me.

I swear, I don't normally just, I mean,

I don't ever just go up to some girl I don't know

and yap her ear off, I just thought we sorta had a moment.

Yeah, um, I have a boyfriend, if that's--

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Well, of course you do, look at you.

- I'm n-- I swear, I'm- - I'm totally not,

absolutely not tryin' to pick you up.

I'm married, happily.

It's just that my day went to crap because of this client

that I'm tryin' to please,

and um, now they don't just want a model,

they want an everyday girl.

See where this is going?

Uh, no.

I'm just hoping, maybe, maybe consider,

if you could come over to the studio,

just try out for it.

Uh, that's, you know, it's really nice of you to ask me,

but, um, I don't think so.

Bring someone along, a friend, neighbor, FBI agent.

Um, thank you very much for asking me,

but no, I'm gonna have to turn it down, I'm sorry.

No, no, please don't apologize.

I'm sorry, I came over here, your poor sandwich,

and then I... badgering you.

Check out the website, it's totally legit, I swear.

That's, uh, thank you, but I don't think so.

Seven grand.

Pays seven grand for half a day's work.

-That's a lot of money. -Yeah.

-For half a day? -They have deep pockets.

I'll um, I just, I don't, I mean, I don't know you, so.

Okay, I can feel you.

Look, just keep the card, no worries,

please don't apologize.

And, either way, it was nice talkin' to you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was nice, nice to meet you.

Yep.

Thank you, bye.

I looked at the site, and I think you should try it.

Oh, but I'm just a mom, I'm not a model.

Yeah, but you're a hot mom.

It is a lot of money.

Look, call him back and check it out, okay?

What have you got to lose?

I tell you what, call Brittany,

call Brittany and tell her to come with you,

or somebody just in case he's a total whack job, okay?

She's working all day, but I'll call her.

Look, I gotta go.

Okay, kick some ass, okay, and call me afterwards.

Just so I know that everything's okay, all right?

Hey, it's Isobel again.

Um, I'm outside, I think,

but I'm not sure this is your building.

I, um, uh, it doesn't look like--

Isobel.

Hey, I was just leaving you a message.

Aw, sorry about that.

Is this where you live?

We have a lot of creatives who work here,

photographers, internet startups, writers.

I've been here five years now,

um, uh, my neighbor, builds websites.

Nice guy.

I don't know what to say.

You know, I might, I'm just gonna go home.

Okay, uh, hold on one second, one second.

Chloe, can you come out front?

Uh, oh, oh, no, no, no, carry on, my assistant.

Uh, yeah, it's just she's, she's kinda having second thoughts.

Okay, okay.

Look, I know how this looks,

but maybe you could call somebody and have 'em come over.

Well, um, my boyfriend knows where I am.

-Great. -And he said he might even

-stop by, though. -Okay, great, cool, yeah.

-Uh. -How long is it gonna be?

Oh, you'll be outta here in 15 minutes.

Um, what are the shots for?

Caribbean Waterways, it's the biggest cruise line

in the tourism industry.

Maybe you've heard of them?

-No. -No?

Well, they're huge.

Hence the money.

Um.

I don't mean to make you uncomfortable. Uh...

okay, if you don't want to, it's cool.

I mean, I'm here now, I feel kind of--

No, no, no, no, please, come in.

You're more than welcome, Chloe's upstairs.

-Shall we? -Chloe, Chloe?
