This program me contains strong language and some scenes that some viewers may find upsetting.

What's your idea of the perfect... person or relationship?

Well, for me, that is...

[SHE EXHALES DEEPLY]

just someone that

is genuine, kind, um

they're willing to do life with me.

Um...

Someone who's sensitive to how I feel,

and someone who loves me for me,

like, they genuinely love me.

Like, they won't look

in another direction,

they have a genuine love for me

and I have a genuine love for them.

Um...

Like, you journey together, no matter what life may bring,

or what you may face.

You journey together and you

you accept each other's flaws

and you,

and you work through it together.

And what if you meet that person

and then they don't end up being like that?

Then it wasn't for me.

But, Danni, your standards are so high.

This guy's going to have to be a superhero.

[THEY LAUGH]

Nice. Looks good.

Beautiful.

Looking good. Karima, right? Yeah.

How are you, are you good? I'm well, good.

You guys got started already.

Yes, we have, do you want to have a look at some? Yes, yes.

Don't like the full bodied look. OK.

The white is just not doing it for me. Yeah.

Little bit more of a...

Do you want to bring down the lights a bit on the main one?

Little bit. Yeah, yes, please. Sure.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

Ooh.

Got it?

Yes, please review your amazing self.

Told you I was right.

I'm always right.

Beautiful, wow, OK, hold that.

Something happens to Karima when I get on.

[THEY LAUGH]

These are amazing.

Last couple of shots, five, and then we're good.

Hello? Hey.

I just saw you in the corridor.

Yeah. How are you?

I'm good, yeah. Are you happy with what you're wearing?

Uh, yeah. I really like this jumper, I really like it.

And what about what you have on your feet?

Yeah, they're different, but, yeah, I like them,

they're nice. They're comfortable. OK, good.

OK.

Nice, that's it.

What's your name?

Uh, Michael. Michael.

Are you Danielle, right?

Mm-hm.

All right, Karima, you did an amazing job.

I don't want to waste your time,

so I'm going to swap you out for Michael. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Same deal. Yeah, with glasses?

Mm, yeah.

Can you take them off?

It's good.

Do you want me to carry on? Mm-hm.

OK, let's try some without the glasses, actually.

So we're going to do halfway, yeah. OK.

Looks good. Keep going, nice.

Can I have a smile?

That's it, that's it, nice.

If you just fix the collar,

that's it, perfect.

Hey, Danielle, sorry to disturb you,

I just wanted to say, thank you so much for today.

It was amazing.

Oh, no problem.

You're amazing, so, yeah.

Hopefully we can work again some time.

If... Sure... you're up for that?

Sure, bless you.

Thank you. You did a good job. Thank you. Thanks.

Do you want me to turn the lights out for you?

Yes, please. Yeah? Thanks.

Transfer them? Yes, yeah, thank you.

I can do that for you. Love you.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Dee? Ah.

[WOMAN HUMMING AND FINGERS CLICKING]

I had such a good night,

and I met this guy who, Danni, is so fit.

So, I don't know, I'm not going to jump too ahead yet, I'm just...

I'm excited, it was fun.

It's too keen to text him straight away. I mean,

obviously I want to come off as, like, I need to be busy.

I am busy.

But I want to appear busier.

He got my number.

Yeah, he got my number.

Right.

Are you busy? Got a lot of work?

You seem a bit...

What? What do you want me to say?

Nothing.

Just I had a fun night, I'm excited.

Why are you always trying to find your happiness in other people?

Why do you keep doing that? Why can't you have anything stable?

Why do you feel the need to go around with

so many different people?

I don't think I do that.

Why do you let people hurt you?

Like, you put yourself out there to be hurt. Why?

And you keep hoping and wishing that the next time

is going to be a little bit better.

Yeah, but what else is there to do?

I want to meet someone but it's hard.

I want you to be happy as well.

I want you... I'm going to have that.

I don't know when I'm going to have it but I'm going to have it.

I don't know when.

I don't know how.

And you're right, it is hard. Mm.

SHE SNIFFS

I hope you get what you're looking for.

Love you.

It's not easy, you know.

I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

I'm just trying, that's what I'm trying to do.

I know.

But I just don't want you to settle for less.

I know what you mean.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

When was the last time you were with somebody?

I...

I'd rather not talk about it, is that all right?

OK.

I just wondered what you were

what your situation was or if you had a situation,

or if you

cos I can't really work out what you want.

It's just I've made a promise to myself that

I wouldn't waste my time with... with anyone.

I just don't want to do that again. Mm. And...

And I don't want to be in something that's not going to

result to anything. I just don't want it.

I'd rather be by myself.

Alone.

You might just want to be friends

and that's OK.

That's purely my intentions.

Yeah. I came in here as thinking as friends.

Yeah. Nothing, like, emotional, nothing deep.

OK, cool.

Like, I feel better now

that I know that this is, like, a cool friendship.

Yeah. That's all it is. Cool, good.

What, did you think it was something more? No!

Why would I think that?

I don't know, maybe I read

into the messages a little bit.

Maybe. A little bit.

Maybe but, yeah, I... I literally

just wanted to be friends with you.

I really wanted to get to know you.

OK. I guess I think I enjoy your company.

That's confusing. Oh, OK.

Anyway... What?

OK, no, I'm not... I am...

I know, OK, cool.

Friends. Cool. Friends.

So, spud me, then.

[THEY LAUGH]

Friends.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was my intention, so, yeah. Yeah.

I've... I've got to go. I've got a couple of meetings and, yeah.

OK, is it now? Yeah, but I can cover the bill and...

No, no, it's fine, I'll cover it. OK, cool.

You... Yeah. Are you sure?

Yeah, I might as well leave out with you, then, if you're leaving.

OK. Yeah? Yeah.

Thank you. Thank you, bye.

Can I just grab the bill for that table, please?

Yeah, sure.

Thank you. Right, thanks a lot. Cheers, bye.

OK, yeah, I'm probably going to head...

Wait, s...

Do you go...? Are you...?

No, because obviously I live round that way,

so I can just walk that way. Oh, OK.

So, yeah, do you know which way you're going?

Yeah, I'm just going to have a little walk down there.

What? Um... That way? Yeah.

OK. Uh, OK.

Well, uh, yeah, enjoy the weather

and guess I'm going to be going that way.

OK, all right.

See you. All right, see ya.

I'm back.

Hello.

You all right?

You look cute, where have you been?

Out.

OK.

Well, OK. Where did you go, then?

Somewhere...

Somewhere north.

Who have you been with? I know all of your friends.

What's wrong with you?

Danni!

God, I can't even go out without you asking me a question.

Danni! Always asking me stuff.

Do you want a tea?

Yeah.

You look so cute, what have you been doing, where you been?

I just went out somewhere.

I don't know, I think it was breakfast or brunch.

Something.

Right, what, a meeting?

I guess you can call it that.

Have you gone on a date?

That's not a no.

That's a yes.

Don't lie, I can see it.

Stop. OK, I'll stop pushing, I'll stop pushing.

I can see you're glowing, the sun is settling onto you, you're glowing.

It's weird taking photos of the river

but you have to find, like, metaphors.

I feel like images express how you feel a little bit more

more than words.

I'm trying to come into your world,

and see things how you see things.

Can you teach me how to shoot on that?

What do I do? Ah, god.

You just feel, feel and

let your instincts guide you.

Once you press this button, that's a moment in time, so make it count.

Oh, that's super cheesy.

[BIKE BELL RINGS]

A nice spot.

Is everything all right?

You're hard to read.

Am I supposed to be easy to read?

I find it hard to trust people,

and I don't think I can...

I don't know if I can trust you.

So? I respect that.

I can't break your heart, cos we're not in a relationship.

I can't break your trust

because I'm still getting to know you,

I guess, and you're still getting to know me.

That being said.

I like this.

Whatever this is.

It's a start, right? Thanks.

I just want to know...

I don't know.

You do know.

You do.

But you're not telling me nothing

and I'm just in a place in my life

where I need certainty.

I don't have a lot of time to

accommodate.

I just don't.

OK.

I don't want something that's meaningless.

I want... something more.

I want to know if you're for real.

And if you're not, that's OK, ,

but I just can't keep doing this.

I have things to do. Like, I'm missing work, like, I'm meant...

I make...

I have to make ends meet.

I have to make ends meet and spending time with you is nice,

but it has to be for some reason.

If it's not for a reason, then why are we doing it?

What's the point?

I just want to...

I just wanted to

let you know where I'm at

and what I want in life.

Sorry, I didn't...

I want to find that

that person to do life with.

I'm not here to waste your time.

I'm not.

I want you to know that.

I want to do this with you

and I mean it.

I'm sorry. OK.

I've messed up your shirt.

It's fine, it's fine.

It's fine. Sorry. It's fine.

Don't hurt me.

If there's anything that... that can happen, if we argue or

I know we're still getting to know each other and... and that's OK.

And if we fall out or anything like that or we don't agree,

or we get on, whatever it is, I'm cool with that.

But

don't hurt me.

Don't do that.

Pinky promise.

It's not a pinky promise.

It's a proper promise.

A real promise.

You're really special, you know that?

Yeah.

Oh, my legs.

Oh, my... [HE LAUGHS.]

Seriously? Yeah!

What's going on?

Mm?

What are you thinking?

You know when you meet someone

and then you leave, like, super confused?

All the time.

I get confused by guys all the time.

So a guy talks to you and he tells you something,

how do you know he's genuine?

Like, how do you know you can trust that?

If you can trust somebody?

Um...

Yeah, you can tell, you can see,

I think you can see in someone's eyes

if they're able to, like, look at you.

You know, like... sometimes you know when I'm lying to you,

do you know what I mean? So it's almost like that, a little bit.

You're always lying to me! I'm not always lying to you.

But it's, it's kinda like that.

If they say something that's kind of profound

and about you,

or they give you, like, a compliment, I don't know.

Like, how do you know that it's genuine?

I don't think you can know if they're genuine

until you get to know them a little bit.

Like, figure out who they really are.

OK, this is me.

This is nice.

Do you want a drink?

Coming right up.

Here you are.

Welcome to my safe place.

It's where I come to think about life.

Hmm.

Music on the decks,

and I stand here and people-watch.

I want to know more about you.

You hide so much.

Why?

We all have our

we all have our secrets.

Why me?

You're a special human being, you know that?

Has anyone told you that before?

No.

Good.

I don't wanna lose you. You won't.

I promise.

Shall we go to my room?

Wow, beautiful.

Ooh. What?

What's happened? Need more film? No. Oh.

See, good thing I brought mine. Yeah, it's done.

Good thing I brought mine.

There's gonna be so many pictures of me.

[SHE LAUGHS]

Let me see.

Ooh, gorgeous, gorgeous.

Oh, you're taking one of yourself, I think. No.

Huh? You can get in it if you want.

We look good. I know.

Woo, look at the sun. Woo, look at the sun! Oh, my God.

Well, I'm gonna post that. I think the last one's the best one.

Yeah, definitely.

What are you thinking about?

Are you gonna have some exes coming out of the woodworks

after this photo?

Cos it's a nice photo. No, course not.

Why would you think that? I don't do that sort of thing.

Well, you haven't even asked me anything about...

About? I might have some guys running after you.

Do you have any crazy exes that I need to know about?

Huh? A lady never tells.

Oh, so you could potentially have a crazy ex

and they could be coming after me and I don't know it.

I remember my mum saying stories about my dad and her, back home.

How they fell in love when they were kids.

And they grew up with that love.

They got married and they had me.

And she felt like she married her best friend.

Then they broke up.

And I promised myself that I'd never want that.

Literally don't wanna be with someone just for a moment

and then lose it all.

Have you ever thought about that?

Just like

not breaking up.

And being married.

Love and marriage is something that really matters in my life.

And I wanna share that love with you.

Would you share it with me?

Always.

What's this?

A thank you present.

For what?

You're welcome.

He's special. I know.

Like, I feel proper happy.

[MUSIC: I'm Every Woman by Chaka Khan.]

What are you doing? I'm not doing that.

I'm not doing that, no.

It's fun! Yes, you are.

One, two, three.

[MOBILE PHONE DINGS]

Hey. Hey.

Good to see you.

How are you? I'm all right, yeah. Yeah, good.

How are you?

Good.

Um... Yeah, long time since college.

Yeah, it's been a really long time.

Um, obviously, I...

I reached out to you

because I just feel like

you need to know.

I... I just...

I just... I feel like I've got this, like, responsibility or something to tell you.

[SHE SIGHS ]OK.

I saw your post,

and, it was like, the first time

that I'd seen Michael

in like, six years and it made me feel quite sick if I'm honest.

Seeing how like

sweet and loving he was being with you, but...

Basically, about, like, six years ago,

me and Michael were, like, hanging out.

And...

It... it wasn't that long, like it was maybe the second time that,

that I saw him

but...

SHE SIGHS HEAVILY

we started to, you know, have sex.

And, um...

It started, like, it started to hurt and so I told him to stop.

[VOICE BREAKING:] I told him a few times, Danielle.

I told him to stop.

But he just wouldn't stop.

And he didn't stop until...

[SHE SOBS]

until he was until he wanted to.

So, yeah, like...

Michael raped me.

And, yeah, and then that was like the last time I saw him.

And so I think I just tried to live through it.

But I think it has affected relationships and how I am

when I'm intimate with people.

Like, I've really taken on a lot of people's shit

and I just feel like you just deserve to know.

I wish someone had told me.

I wish someone had warned me.

And, like, I just wouldn't want your experience to be anything like mine.

[SHE SIGHS HEAVILY]

I take it he hasn't spoken to you about anything like this before.

Well, he needs to man up and own up to it, cos it's going to

affect his relationships, I mean, it's affected mine.

I don't need him to say anything to me.

I... I don't need to take it anywhere.

But... [SHE SIGHS]

Michael raped me, like...

[DANIELLE GASPS]

[SHE BREATHES HEAVILY]

[LIFT DOOR CLOSES]

[LIFT DOOR OPENS]

[KNOCKING]

Hey, you, what's...

You OK?

[SHE BREATHES HEAVILY]

Danielle, what's wrong?

Talk to me.

Who's Natalie?

Wh... what? Who's Natalie?

I should've... I should've told you.

I know what I done was wrong, it wasn't right.

You know what you did? Yes. I know what I've done.

Oh, so now you can tell me?

All these months I've been with you, now you can tell me?! I'm really...

Listen to me. I don't want to listen to you. Listen to...

I don't want to listen to you, I don't want to listen to you.

I don't want to listen to you.

It doesn't make it right, what I done, but that's not me.

You know who I am. That's not me.

[SOBBING: ]You make me sick.

You make me sick, you make me sick. SHE SOBS

I didn't know how to deal with it, I didn't know how to say it to you.

But what can I do?

With you, I found someone that I love for the first time in my life.

I want to fix this.

I really want to fix this.

[SHE SOBS] I loved you with all I had,

I loved you with all I had.

I loved you with all I had. I know, I should've told you.

Everything I had.

What can I do to fix this? Please, I want to fix this.

I want to prove to you I'm a different man now.

[SHE SIGHS]

You're going to go apologise to her.

If that's what it takes, I'll do it.

You're going to go apologise to her, you're going to go to her,

you're going to go to police,

whatever you've got to go, you're going to go do it.

Whatever it takes, I'll do.

Want to make this right.

I'm not going to hide any more, there's nowhere for me to hide.

I'll go to the police,

I'll be a better person for you and for Natalie.

I'm going to do that.

I can't lose you, I really can't, I can't, I can't.

[WHISPERS:] I can't.

Danielle, please, please. Danielle, please!

Please.

[SHE BREATHES HEAVILY]

[BIRDS CHIRP IN DISTANCE]

[PLANE ENGINES ROAR IN DISTANCE]

Hey. Hey.

I'm sorry about running away.

I understand.

To hear something like that about your boyfriend, that's

that's a lot.

Um... I'm sorry.

I respect you so much.

And I thank you for being brave.

Letting me see what's the truth.

I just, I'm just really thankful that you could listen.

[VOICE BREAKING: ]Because like, you know, I didn't want...

I don't... I don't wish him bad,

like, I don't think he necessarily should be, like,

deemed a bad person cos he did a bad thing.

So long as he can accept it.

I just didn't want you to go through what I'm going through cos

it's really hard to live in denial about... something like that.

I don't know what to do.

Thanks for coming.

I want you to know that I've been to the police,

I've owned up to everything.

I want to make this work, Danielle.

I'm sorry.

I love you but I can't be with you.

I'm pleased you did the right thing.

Ready?

Yeah, you guys look amazing.

I need a lot of strength.

Let me see a reason why I should buy these clothes. Wow.

[CAMERA CONTINUES SNAPPING]

Wow, OK, hold that.

Oh, wow.
