You're sure he's in there now? No, I'm not sure.
But I didn't see him go out.
Is it urgent? Want me to give him a message? - No, I'll come back later.
They don't send your letters.
They throw them away! What do you mean? I want to tell my uncle.
He works for customs.
Maybe he can help us.
Try phoning him.
My mobile's not working.
My phone card has run out.
There's a phone over there.
- Can't use that.
Why not? You can't call abroad from it.
But there must be something we can do! I know a newspaper reporter.
A Belgian.
I got to know him in Vilnius.
He was here.
And he promised he would come back.
I could give him your letter to send.
- Really? Well, anyway, I could ask him.
- Would you? This is lnga.
She will replaces Deborah.
Where is Deborah? - Back to Moscow.
She didn't like it here! - Arsehole! Hey, you, no crude language! Are you Russian? - Yes.
Me too.
I'm lnga.
I don't know any Deborah.
I worked here until January.
But then they sold me.
What? - Sold you? Yes! Sold me.
For eihgt thousand Euro.
Are you waiting for me? - What the hell are you playing at? You haven't got a clue! Have you ever been to one of those clubs? Well? You here officially or ? I can always have you picked up by a police van.
Well, maybe I'd prefer that Look, I know exactly where you get all that crap from.
Oh yeah? - Yes.
Could we have a talk? Look, Raymond Van Mechelen's no saint.
I've never said he was.
But he knows how far he can go.
He's never been convicted, has he? Three months suspended sentence for assault.
That was ten years ago! - Right.
All those girls have a residence permit and a contract.
In Greek! Have you ever seen one of the contracts? - No.
Well, there you are, then They've got clean rooms and condoms.
Troublesome clients are kicked oud.
No girl has ever complained.
They're too scared to complain.
- Yeah, right! Scared of the police but not of dancing naked in front of 200 men! Right! 'Cause we're dangerous.
Too scared You're being used.
Really? Who by? Think I don't know who fed you all that rubbish? I would't be at all surprised if you had to pay for it! Tosser.
I must to go to the toilet.
Hello, let me out! Toilet,toilet! - And after we have sex? No, no sex.
- No sex, no toilet.
I'll go to the paper and give him one! I wouldn't do that.
-No? You just wait! He seems to be well informed.
How come? Who's givin' us grief? - How long have you got? That's not what I mean.
Who wants to screw us? Mike is dead - Yeah, BANG! How'd he know about Lithuania? - Only two of us were there.
He's been to the 69.
Maybe he chatted to one of the girls.
Doesn't a girl keep an eye on things? What's her name? - Kalinka, yes Shit! What's the matter? - Damn! She won't be pleased.
Did they force you to go with clients and er I mean, have sex? How did they do that? Here you just strip and, maybe, go to the separe with a client.
There are a lot of you and you can more or less decide youself who you sith with.
They don't let Turks in.
- What do you mean? Turks have no respect.
In their eyes you're nothing.
They treat you like shit.
And the Belgians? - Some are OK.
And some are really stupid.
In Sint-Truiden there's only four girls.
And? - And you can't hide there, like here.
Are you still here? What are you doing here? You know each other? - She made them sell me.
Oh, you're full of shit! - You'd sell your own mother if it suited you.
Whore! Yes, it's all there.
What did you expect? What was working for Van Mechelen like? Was there a specific arrangement? A contract? Like a regular umployee or what? - I don't know Are we doing another interview? - Come on, Esther! What? You get paid to write your little articles,don't you? Or do you do it for free? - Forget it.
Bloody hell I never saw no contract.
I got 20% on drinks, half if I took a client upstairs.
For sex, you mean? - No, for knitting lessons! And the foreign girls? - They get nothing the first few months.
They have to repay the travelling costs.
And later, if they start making a fuss, they give them a hundred Euros.
- So they have got a contract? You don't get it, do you? They make these girls sign something they can use against them.
If you want to call that a contract I had a chat with him this morning.
- And? That guy knows more than he should.
- Is that so? How come? Are we doing something wrong, maybe? Who told him? - Probably wasn't Mike.
He's dead! Then who did? - I've got no idea.
Esther? Didn't she use to work for you? After all you did for her.
What's she been up to since Mike died? Don't you know? - No.
No? I thought you always knew everything? She's working at the Washington.
You're joking! At Pedro's? John, your fish is getting cold.
How could you do this to me? - It was a mistake, OK? I forgot.
- How could you forget about it? Nobody wants to talk with me anymore.
- Poor Kalinka! Is she gonna stay here? - I don't know, darlin'.
The clients like her, so I'll make it up to you, OK? Listen, you can keep all the money you make tonight.
You don't have to pay us.
What? - What? Only one night? I don't believe this! OK, tonight and tomorrow.
Happy now? - No.
I want four nights.
Hello - Hello You were stupid, not me.
- Three nights.
And now get lost.
OK, three nights, strip money and separe.
Bitch! How can you live with yourself? - You're yust a silly cow! A beer, please.
Having fun? Please, sit down.
Wait, I'll come back in 2 minutes.
Christ! That journalist is here! He's sitting right at the front.
So he can have a good view.
Inesa's in the separe with a client.
- No! She is.
I saw her go in myself.
Shit! Have you got your letter here? - No, I'll get it.
Can you trust this reporter? - I think so.
What's in it? They we're locked up here and have to strip, I guess.
Well, did you enjoy it? Sorry, but I came here to make money.
As a whore I got 100 Euro for less than twenty minutes.
Well done! My father has to work two weeks for that kind of money, ten hours a day.
And what did you have to do for that? - Not much.
That's not an answer, Inesa.
- He touched me a bit.
And nothing else? - No.
Are you sure? - Yes.
It's my turn.
Are you angry? Good evening.
Raymond.
Mr John.
Would you like a drink? - No, that's not what we're here for.
Pedro, we're not happy.
We've been having trouble with this girl.
Unfair to the clients, dishonest with the boss, big mouth In short, she's bad for business.
And now we hear on the grapevine that she's working here, for you.
We are not very pleased Pedro! D'you realise that? You said, if John and Ray are mad at you, come and work for me.
John and Ray can kiss my arse! - No, no, that's not true.
I I didn't know, Raymond.
Mr John, I didn't know anything about this.
I just did it as a favour to Jan.
To Jan? Verplancke? Get your coat.
Didn't we treat you well? Yes Mike wanted me to leave here.
He was a real bright spark! I heard it was real cosy in his caravan.
And was it Verplancke's idea to work in Pedro's Turk-ridden shack? And to shoot your mouth off to that reporter? That as well! That was Jan's idea, too.
How come he knew this guy? I don't know.
He makes the guy pay for interviews.
Mike fell for it too.
I had to tell him all I knew about you.
About us? - And Jan gets money for it.
But I hardly told him anything! Which is why he put me in the Washington, to punish me.
What are you want? Go away! I paid for you.
I paid for you.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Good evening, sir.
Thank you.
Good evening.
Don't forget the doorman.
I haven't got anything smaller.
No problem, sir.
And I'd like that letter you got from one of the girls.
What letter? - It's in there, in that pocket.
Sorry, I don't know what you mean.
Come on, sir, d'you want me to take it out myself? I would like to leave.
- The letter first.
I'm just trying to do my job.
Give me the letter, then I won't have to hurt you.
One of the client gave this letter to Danny.
He said, 'I don't know what to do with it.
I don't think this is a love letter.
Do you know what it is? Why did you do it? Well? Why? We give you food, a place to sleep, you can make a lot of money here.
Look! And this is your way of say thank you? Well, thanks a lot.
Listen, if you break the rulles,you pay.
And now because of you, all of your friends got to pay too.
Solidarity.
No salary this week, no percentage.
No nothing! Come on! - It's not fair.
It's her fault, not mine.
Rulles of the house.
Dammit! Good afternoon.
Is he in? - I haven't seen him go out.
Looks like it's urgent.
- We'll come back later.
Bye.
He's there.
Looks like there's been a bit of a party! Now what? How should I know? We'll have to take him with us.
-Why? The old bird next door saw us.
She saw us ringing the doorbell and that we couldn't get in.
We'll have to take him with us.
- No way! We didn't kill him.
Danny listen, this is going to lead to trouble.
Vincent, she doesn't know we were in here! No? She's at the window! Bloody hell! - You stay here.
Open the door! Hurry up, open the door! Come on, pick up the phone.
Bloody hell! Now what's happened? She won't be ratting on us now! - You didn't! Are you mad or what? Was that necessary? What? The old girl was gonna rat on us! Rat on us about what? We haven't done a bloody thing! I'd like to see you explain that to the cops.
Let's get out of here.
- Hold on a minute! What if we put those two together in the middle of the garden? The cops will think that dirty old geezer wanted to shag the old girl And they got into fight.
I'm out of here! It was just a suggestion, Danny! Jesus! For Christ's sake! What? What would you have done? You find a corpse full of holes, then you see that woman gawking through the window.
Well? What about Deborah? She left a note saying she couldn't wait any longer and dinner was in the fridge! I'm here to make money! I made nearly 250 Euro last night, just dancing! How stupid can you get? It was nothing but an excuse so that they don't have to pay anyone! They didn't lose money! Wasn't even her letter! Then whose was it? - It doesn't matter.
What will you achieve? You either play the game or you carry on making a fuss.
Then you'll be sold.
God knows where you'll end up! Why don't we just try to make the best of it? I don't want to sleep with men for money.
Neither do I.
But for 50 Euro, they can paw you! I think they've been very patient with you.
If there's a client who wants to fuck one of you and he's willing to pay You have no say.
Really? - Yes.
Take my word for it.
Do you play golf? - Me? Nah? Wanna buy 'em? All brand new, fell off the back of the lorry just yesterday.
John is real mad at you, Jan.
But he hasn't come with you, has he? There's been a lot in the papers about us we don't like.
Really? And we've asked around and it seems someone's got it in for us.
But he's too yellow to say it to us.
Hey, I don't know anything about it.
I've got nothing to do with the paper.
We were at the Washington yesterday.
And Pedro also told us an odd story.
About you.
Are you talking about Esther? - We kicked Esther out,remember? Yeah, sure, but that was a while ago, wasn't it? Oh yeah? You're not doing very well, Jan.
You'll have to drive an automatic for a couple of months.
I think I'll take this with me.
I'm really pleased with it.
It's good.
You won't use it, anyway.
Miss, come with us, please.
Come on, don't make things worse.
