"Previously on Matrioshki ..." "We've asked around and it seems someone's got it in for us." "But he's too yellow to say it to us." "Playtime is over now." "You have to entertain clients." "Make them drink,make they buy drink for you." "Take them to the separe and upstairs to the Vip room." "I don't want to have sex with clients." "You'll do what I tell you to do." "And when I tell you to fuck with clients, you'll fuck with clients!" "Understand?" "And you start striping again tonight." "Do you hear me?" "No more favours." "Please, mister, please." "Tonight, you strip." "Turn it off." " Who are you?" "Police." "Turn it off!" "Police!" "Everyone stay in their seats!" "Where are we going?" " Get in the bus!" "Police!" "Come out, please!" "What's so urgent?" "It's always full of Russians and we only find two!" "What a coincidence!" "I did warn you." " You're right." "You warned us, too." "What d'you mean?" " You know what." "Been in contact with Dockx recently?" "No." "You know your back's to the wall?" "You just wait!" "Good afternoon." "We can't just kick her out!" " I'm not getting involved." "Just tell her she can't stay here!" "Right." "I'll call the police." "No, no police, please ..." "Lut, hold on a minute!" "Can't we think of something?" " I don't want whores here." "You can sleep here tonight." "We'll think of something." "If you don't like it, go to your mother's." "But at the airport, you need a passport, you know." "And I'm ask you ..." "So, you gave her a pair of your pyjamas as well?" "Take it easy." " I can't see why I should!" "If she's not out of here today, I am." "I don't want whores here!" "She's not a whore!" " Of cours not!" "You want me to go away?" " Yes!" "No, no, no, no." "We will find a solution ..." "We'll find something." "OK?" "Can't you see the girl is unhappy?" "Be reasonable, will you." "Have you seen this?" "We're in the papers again!" "Women traffickers raided" "How do they know all this?" " Beats me." "Bloody hell!" "John's gonna be really pissed off!" "You remember, Irina's father signed a contract" "He has to pay 3,000 euro now." "That's lot of money." "What is he saying?" "Her parents signed the contract and must pay 3,000 euros." "Just one simple phone call to my Lithuanian friend Arnas, and he's going to get my money back." "But,Irina's parents hasn't money." "Her father hasn't job." "That's not my problem,darlin', there is a contract." "But there is nothing in the contract about strip dancing." "Or about being locked up in here." "Or about having sex with the clients." "Why did you go with us?" "Why didn't you stay at home, in Russia?" "You know why." " Of course, I know why." "Because you wanted to make money." "You don't have problems with taking your clothes off." "And you like me, I know." "At least, in Vilius you did ..." "What did he mean, Inesa?" " What?" "What happened in Vilnius?" "Nothing." " Nothing at all?" "You know what my father's like." "He'd never sign." "So?" "Neither would mine!" "I signed it myself!" "I didn't dare." " Why not?" "So what did you do then?" "I went to their hotel." "To talk about it." " 'To talk about it'?" "You didn't go to bed with that scumbag, did you?" "Did you go to bed with him?" "You were a whore before you even arrived here!" "You don't understand!" " I do." "Perfectly!" "And also why you didn't mind going to the separe with those men." "I never expected this from you." "You slut!" "Uncle." "Caught anything yet?" "Oh, you've just come to feed 'em!" "Why bother with your hook if the food simply comes flying down all around them?" "Seen the newspaper today?" "We're getting too soft." "Too soft?" "What d'you mean?" "We're letting 'em make fools of us." "We've go to do something about it." "Since working with the Eastern bloc all we've had is trouble." "How long ago was the last raid on the 69?" "Three years?" "Four years." "Remember those Filipino girls and the ones from Thailand?" "Always friendly, always attentive, always smiling." "Happy to work for us." " Clients don't want slit eyes anymore." "No ..." "These days, they're into white meat again." "Heard from Clem?" "A complaint's been filed against him." "Some guy from another department." "I'm getting out, son." "Out of what?" " The 69." "Everything, in fact." "You havin' me on?" " No, I'm not having you on." "Just because of a stupid raid?" "I'm tired of the whole circus." "I'll be 62 next month." "It's no fun anymore." "Have you told Vincent about this yet?" " Not yet." "Good morning." "Are you Peter Jones?" "We've been informed you're sheltering an illegal immigrant." "A Russian girl." "You're aware that this is an offence?" " There's nobody here." "It was your wife who called us, sir." "I'm here on my own." "Let us take the girl." " You don't have a search warrant." "We can get one within the hour." " Right ..." "Stupid fool!" "We can't stay here!" " Why?" "We must go." "Clem." "What would you do if you were in my position?" "I have to pass it on to the public prosecutor." "Even the mayor phoned me!" "I don't get it." "How many times did I warn you?" "Warned me about what?" "Does your mother live on a boat owned by John Dockx?" "She's lived on it for 25 years." "I've worked here for 11." "Yes, but something like that doesn't help your case." "How did that reporter find this out now?" "That's not by chance!" "What do you mean?" " Come on, it's an obvious set-up!" "Who do you think told him all this?" "Have you got a good lawyer?" "We haven't a thing against John Dockx." "Firstly: we have against Van Mechelen and Van Mechelen works for Dockx." "Secondly:" "that wasn't an answer to my question." "Since when have Russian whores been a priority?" "Did you tip off those guys at the 69 about the raid or not?" "No!" "How many times do I have to tell you?" "OK." "We're going to suspend you for three months." "You know we have no other option." "Defend your case." "If you're cleared, we'll see you get a good transfer." "Thanks." "I work there too." " What exactly do you do there?" "I'm a whore, I fuck for money." "That's my job." "What part don't you understand?" "Whore?" "Fuck?" "Or for money?" "And what about the Russian girls, and those from Lithuania?" "They've only been there a week." "But why are you so interested?" "Oh, no reason ..." "No reason?" "Are they, er, whores too?" " What d'you think?" "I'll be right back." "But what does he really know?" " Very little if you ask me." "He's trying to find out about residence permits." "Did he mention any names?" " No!" "Who does he know in the police?" "He won't say!" "He thinks he's a real big shot now, with that article of his." "You should see him!" "He says they're gonna clean the whole place up." "Who told him about the raid?" "Ray, I told you, I don't know, he won't say!" "You can watch television." "Hello, Peter speaking." "Lut, that may well be, but going to the police ..." "I don't wanna know!" "Do as you like!" "Yes." "Oh, I knew you'd bring that up again." "Hello?" "Your wife?" " Yes." "I'm coming back tomorrow morning." "Close the door." "Look who's there!" "Hello Jan!" "Eddy." " I heard you've been a bad boy!" "So punctual this month!" "It's all there, pal." " Yeah, yeah." "You old crook!" "How are things around here?" " Don't you read the papers?" "We're having problems with those Russian bitches." "Ray is becoming far too soft." " Is he?" "They just do as they please." "They wouldn't if it were up to me." "You can tell John doesn't come around as often as he used to." "Is Esther working here now?" " Yeah, good for us!" "Or business would be very slow in the separes!" "Jan." " Ray ..." "And?" " Not a word, pal." "Today's newspaper, I suppose that's my fault too?" "I wasn't here." "I was home with my leg." "How is your leg?" " Bad." "Sorry." "We got it wrong." "I've been thinkin' about it ..." " A bit late now!" "You shouldn't have put Esther in that dump of Pedro's!" "I was just trying to help her out!" "And Clem?" " He's been suspended." "What?" " Because of that newspaper article?" "Well, that didn't help!" " Can they prove anything?" "Give a dog a bad name ..." "Nico Maes ..." "Want me to find out where he lives?" "Good evening, sir." "We got a call from your old lady." "She told us to come and pick something up." "Go and sit somewhere else." "What's the matter?" " Nothing." "Why isn't she joining us?" " Ask her yourself." "Have you two quarrelled?" "Will you stop it, dammit!" " Why?" "It's always the same!" "Give the guy time to think!" "Sit down in that armchair over there." "Bloody hell, Vincent!" "What d'you want with that girl, anyway?" "Are you in love?" "So why don't you tell us where she is?" "Danny, is he thinking now, or what?" "It doesn't work." "You can see it doesn't." "Our management invested a lot of money in that girl." "Why don't you buy her contract off us?" "8,500 euro and she's yours to do with as you please." "I haven't got that much." " We'll think of something." "You could talk to your wife." "Someone die?" "What's wrong?" "Have you had a fight with Daria?" "How long have you known her?" " We were at school together for 6 years." "Why?" "I think she may be in trouble." "What d'you mean?" "I've been here much longer than you" "So I know what'll happen next." "New girls get one month to prove themselves." "And those who don't bring in enough money or cause trouble, get sold and then who knows where you'll end up." "Just ask lnga." "They wanted to sell us to those Dutchman!" "That wasn't serious!" "Not serious?" "You weren't there, so you don't know." "Do you often go to the VIP room?" "Not that often, but ..." "If a client isn't too hideous, it's easy money." "Honestly." "You're all alone with the client." "Nobody knows how much you charge." "So you can keep as much money as you want." "Come on, don't tell me that in Lithuania you never met someone in a pub, whom you later went to bed with?" "And the morning after you thought, "Who is he?" "Yuck!"" "That may have happened once maybe." "But it's not the same thing ..." "No?" "At least here you make some money out of it!" "Just switch of your mind for ten minutes and collect the cash!" "Irina, I'm Peter." "What's wrong?" "What's happened to you?" "My wife's phone call   the sex club." "I'm sorry." "Really." "Mr Maes?" "We'd like to have a chat with you." "Sorry, I haven't got time." "It's none of my business, Mr Jones, but this is an important decision." "A goverment loan is a good investment." "To sell now would be a real shame." "And,without being indiscrete, may I ask why you need this money so quickly?" "It's personal." " I understand, Mr Jones." "It's none of my business." "And Mrs Jones knows about it?" "Right ..." "I'd also like to borrow 2,500 euro." "A loan." "I'll have to put in an application." "And we will need some kind of surety." "A family member who'll stand joint surety." "And without surety?" " That means more paperwork." "How long would that take?" " A week or so." "Sign here." "Down there, please." "Mr Maes." "I'm Raymond Van Mechelen." "You don't know me,we've never met before." "But that doesn't stop you from writing about me in the newspaper, does it?" "Stuff that isn't true." "The cops annoy my costumers, they don't come back anymore." "So what do I do?" "Send an angry letter to the paper?" "Did you ask "Mr Van Mechelen what do you think about this?"" "Or, "Is any of this actually true, Mr Van Mechelen?"" "He doesn't say much." "I'm just doing my job." " Is that so?" "Nice job." "Now what would you do, if you were me?" "I thought, I'll talk to this man." "I think that's the normal thing to do in these situations." "I read that we make girls dance naked and shag the costumers." "Girls who really don't want to." "Is your grandmother still alive?" "No." "My granny is 84 years old." "A sweet old dear, never hurt a fly." "She read all that too." "She called me to ask me if it was all true." "Not nice, eh?" "Sorry, it wasn't my intention to ..." "I could get in my car now and drive home, but who knows what I'll read in the paper tomorrow." "Well, what should I do?" "He doesn't want to talk to you, Ray." "He thinks we're idiots." " Isn't there another way to solve this?" "Oh, now he wants to talk." "Oh, forget it!" "Never mind ..." "Have fun." "Neat, eh?" "Now he's angry." "What?" "D'you think that's amusing?" "D'you think it's funny?" "Come on, take your trousers off." "Well?" "Am I speaking some foreign language, or what?" "Come on, guys ..." " Take your clothes off!" "Strip naked!" "We haven't got all day, you shite!" "Irina." "Irina!" "Thank you Peter,I do not want troubles for you." "Irina." "Further!" "Further!" "Stop!" "Turn around!" "Now what, newspaper boy?" "Think there'll be many at your funeral?" "Will it make the front page?" "Eh, Danny?" "Could do." "If nothing else happens today!" "If notning else happens today ..." "That's what I call funny!" "You don't seem to?" "Are you snivelling'?" "Are you a man?" "Take a last good look around." "Danny." "And me!" "Lie down on your stomach!" "On your stomach!" "Bye-bye, Mr Maes." "Out of bullets, or what?" "Bastard!" "Peter, Peter my boy!" "What have you got yourself into?" "You can't trust those Russian bitches!" "Some try to hide it, but they're all whores, the lot of them!" "You don't believe me?" "What are you gonna do now?" "Here ..." "I'd put her passport with her contract." "Because, in fact, we had a deal, right?" "We can't help it that you lost her,can we?" "Did you bring the money?" "What'll happen then?" " To you or to her?" "I've only got 6,000 euro." " That's not enough, is it?" "The deal was for 8,500." "This is a bit of a problem, pal." "Listen I'm going to be very reasonable." "Give me the six thousand for now." "And I'll make up the two and a half." "And you come back next Friday and pay me back the rest." "With a bit of interest." "You pay me three thousand." "What do you say?" "That's your phone." "Aren't you going to answer it?" "Peter speaking." "Yes." "Ok, stay there." "Bye." "Well ..." "What are we going to do, Peter?" "Are you going to pick her up or shall I?" "What is this?" "Come on, girs." "Go and entertain clients." "You, go sit over there." "Can I sit?" "Cheers." " Cheers." "Belgian chocolate." "Very tasty." "Thank you." "This is for on the way." "No, no." "Please, you need money to buy a food, to buy a train ticket in Berlin." "Now what?" "I don't want." " What?" "I don't want." " Let me see your tits." "Here!" "Come here!" "Come here, you!" "Come here, you!" "Luna!" "That bitch is crazy!" "I hardly touched her!" "Help her up." "Take her legs, you too." "Hold her legs." "Luna." "Luna." "Luna!" "You have to call an ambulance." "Anything else?" "But she needs to go to a hospital." "Luna, Luna, Luna!" "She needs help." "Call an ambulance." "No, no, nothing happened." "Call an ambulance, you fuckin' idiot!"
