And you can choose whatever you like.

You're not going to die.
The lady who was in that bed over there had cancer too.
She died yesterday.
Listen.
You're not going to die.
Everything's going to be fine.
l promise you.
Good morning.

Dr Petrov.

How are you today, princess? - Fine, doctor.
Can we have a chat outside? - Yes, of course.
l'll be right back.
Yes.
That's Danny.
Thank you.
He was suffering from depression.
Had been for some time.
- And Esther Vandewalle? When did you last see her? A week ago, l think.
- You think? But she lived at that apartment too, didn't she? And then, one day, she never came home? Didn't you ask Danny where she was? lt was none of my business.
l just slept there.
l thought you were good pals? We were.
But we never discussed things to do with women.
Oh, right.
So when Danny didn't come home last night, didn't you start to worry? - Of course l did! Did you try phoning him on his mobile? - No.
Did you go and look for him? - No.
Did you call anyone else to find out where he was? We're not ones for making phone calls.
Bloody hell! - Just drove into the water and drowned.
You didn't tell the cops anything, eh? - No.
The two of 'em tried to catch me out.
Did you phone him? Did you phone anyone to ask where he was? Did you go and look for him? And then about Esther.
For a whole hour.
Did they ask you anything about me? - No.
Phhh, man.
Now what? You should never have banged Esther.
How could l know he'd make such a mountain out of it? Huh! You knew damn well that he was a sensitive guy.
You'll be saying it's my fault in a minute! When's the funeral? They don't know.
They haven't released his body yet.
Why not? - Call 'em and ask 'em! Finally! l'm so pleased to see you.
- Me too.
He's OK, Sveta.
l'd never have got away without him.
lt wasn't easy for him either.
Child! lt's so good you're back.
Hello.
- Tony is from Belgium.
He's a friend from work.
Doesn't he speak Russian? They don't speak Russian in Belgium.
He only speaks English and Flemish.
Flemish - Yes.
Come on.
Mummy! - Sweetie! Hello, sweetheart.
Mummy's best boy! This is Tony.
Tony comes from Belgium.
They speak a very funny language there.
Wanna take a look in the safe yourself? Have you phoned him? - Loads of times.
He's not answering.
He still lives with his mother.
Have you tried there? What do you think? His mother didn't know anything? - She's not answering the phone either.
Something's up.
- Of course something is up! l've fuckin' well lost 150,000 euro! 150,000? - lt's all gone! Can't you claim on your insurance? What do l say? My staff's run off with my ill-gotten gains? You call him.
What d'you want me to say? Want me to play the innocent? Tell him that Danny's dead.
And try to find out where he is.
The bastard! Cheers.
lt's me, Tony.
Call me back.
Bye.
lt rang normally first.
l reckon he saw it was me.
D'you really think Bob will let you go just like that? You're crazy! - But l haven't done anything.
You haven't.
But Tony stole his money.
- l can't do anything about that now.
How much money are we talking about? - A lot.
l don't know exactly, but it's more than 50,000 euro.
Wow 50,000? Are you two crazy? - Honestly.
He also withdrew some money from the bank account.
What? - ls Tony in love with you? ls he or isn't he? - l don't know l think so.
A bit, anyway How long did he work for those sleazebags? A few years.
- Some of that money is ours.
You do realise that, don't you? We had to fuck stupid Belgians day in and day out for it! And you for even longer than me You can't stay here.
They know where you live and that you've got a kid.
But l haven't done anything! Try telling 'em that when they come for you.
But they won't come all this way, will they? They don't know that Tony's here.
D'you want to take the risk? With Serioja? Bob's got contacts here.
You know he has.
You should've got rid of that loser on the way here.
Good evening, Mrs Grooven.
We're friends of Tony's.
No one upstairs.
We're only trying to help your Tony, missus.
Just tell us where he is.
OK? Tony's a pal of ours.
Has been for years.
We work with your son.
- You're a couple of thugs! l don't like being called that, missus! Hello.
- Well? Discovered anything yet? We're trying to talk to her, Bob, but she's not letting on.
Maybe you need to encourage her.
She's an old girl, Bob.
l can't just sock her one, can l? Drink a nice fuckin' cup of coffee with her instead, then! Hello? Bob? He can kiss my fuckin' arse! You're not really helpin' your Tony, you know, missus.
A load of money has disappeared from the office.
And our boss thinks Tony has taken off with it.
lt's probably just a misunderstanding, but the money's gone.
Tony's not a thief! - No, but why did he suddenly disappear? You've gotta admit that's fishy.
- l'm angry with him.
Are you? Why? - He brought a girl home.
One that's no good.
A foreigner.
With a strange name.
She even spent the night here.
- Oh! He's never had a girlfriend before, then one appears at the table who could've been on the front of magazines.
l wasn't born yesterday! l'll phone you if anything happens.
Be careful.
- l'll text you when we arrive.
Go now.
Bye Mum.
Say hello to Aunt Yulia for me.
You've already said that four times! - Then you certainly won't forget! Oh, l forgot her present.
You can't get that in Bulgaria.
Don't drink it yourselves! Have a good trip.
He doesn't pay the girls.
They all want to leave.
So what are we gonna do? - Hold on! l know the night doormen of all the big hotels in the city.
l also know a lot of taxi drivers.
And l know a load of guys with a bulging wallet who like to have a good time.
And? There isn't a single decent escort service here in Antwerp.
They're all a shambles! Every single one.
Well? There's a gap in the market! l need twenty girls who can be trusted.
They need to be pretty and presentable.
No Belgians.
They're all social rejects.
They're nothing but trouble.
No, l just want birds from the EU.
Poles, Romanians, Bulgarians.
No more hassle with papers that aren't in order.
And they'll be paid properly.
So they're happy.
That's much better for the clients too.
Well? Your turn.
You've been abroad a lot, haven't you? So what can you do for me? Well That depends.
What's your budget? Five minutes.
Go on.
Nastya! l hardly recognised you! You don't look like yourself.
You've gone blonde! lt's been a long time! - Eight years.

How's Dasha? Have you been to see her already? Yes, this morning.
l talked to the doctor.
She needs an urgent operation.
And then everything will be fine? - They don't know.
They're only giving her a thirty percent chance of survival.
Maybe they're wrong, maybe it's not as bad as all that.
We haven't got enough money for the operation.
How much does it cost? - 7,500 dollars.
She needs to see a specialist in Moscow.
Or Germany, but it costs even more there.
So what are you going to do? l don't know l really don't know, Nastya.

The same old song! lf l were to - Are you suddenly rolling in it then? No.
- So why are you being so awkward? How much are you prepared to pay? Ten percent each of what that dog pinched.
That's 15,000 apiece.
- ln his case, less what he owes me.
They've been to your house, Nastya.
They set about your mother.
What happened? - l'm not sure exactly, but they beat her up.
She's in hospital.
What? Who did it? - l only saw her for a few moments.
A man came round and asked where you were.
When she didn't answer, he punched her.
She was hard to understand.
She was confused.
l think it was that driver who works for Valhiev.
How is she? - Not too good She's got two broken ribs and is badly bruised.
He really went to town on her - Do they know where l am? l don't know, Nastya.
l'll call you if l hear anything else.

What about you? l don't know.
Now that Danny's no longer around But l haven't got a pot to piss in! - Neither have l.
How can you go abroad without any money? Well, to start with, it's cheaper there than here.

- lt belongs to Paul.
He asked me to do a little job for him.

You don't think l'm gonna wait forever? lt's not my money, Eddy.
- No, Jan.
l've waited long enough.
Hey! Give here! Come on! Give it back! What's got into you all of a sudden? l don't fuckin' believe it! Just sit there quietly and have a whisky.
OK? Listen.
l'll do that job for Paul and everything l earn is for you.
