He doesn't want her.

You can go. Bye.

How much d'you want for her?

Mum...

6,000 baht.

That's too much.

l can buy two who are still virgins for 6,000 baht.

But she is still a virgin! - Yeah, right!

3,000 or you can keep her. There are plenty of other girls.

She'll earn loads of money in the city.

She'll be able to send you a nice sum every month.

So, what are you going to do?

OK. 3,000 baht.

l'll give you 6,000 baht now...

and then you give me 3,000 baht back the day after tomorrow.

3,000 baht. You said 3,000 baht.

ls this clown trying to fleece us?

Don't fuck with me, you bastard!

Look who it is! lt's Eddy. - You scumbag!

Stop it, Eddy, dammit! l said stop it!

Christ, pal!

Put that fork down!

l'm gonna thump you if you're not careful!

Christ...

Just look at the place!

What's pissed you off?

What's pissed me off? Three years inside, pal!

Three years! - l did the same.

But l hadn't done anything! - Hadn't done anything!

Listen to Mother Theresa! - You smashed his head in!

Why don't you shout a bit louder? Maybe ask for a microphone?

And l kept my cakehole shut. - That's not true, Eddy.

That's not true. You didn't keep your cakehole shut.

They didn't believe you, that's not the same thing!

l've lost all my money. l've got nothing left.

Jan Verplancke ran off with it.

Join the club.

When they picked me up, l got him to empty my safe at the bank.

45,000 euro and a couple of very expensive rings.

Everything's gone, vanished.

So where is he now? - Dunno.

Bob Sels probably knows where he is.

Sels?

How long were you inside?

Did they need to make space in the cooler?

Can't she wait outside? - What for?

She doesn't understand Dutch. She's my dinner.

Doesn't look like you're very hungry.

Apparently, you know where Verplancke is.

Don't you want to tell us?

Jan's been in Thailand for over a year. Everyone knows that.

Thailand's a big place. Got an address?

Want to send him a postcard?

He's in Pattaya. He's got a bar there. With chicks.

With chicks?

Like her? - The T&A bar.

Gonna remember that or d'you want me to write it down?

Hello? - You'll never guess

who's just been to see me. Ray Van Mechelen.

What? ls he out already? - And Eddy Stoefs was with him too.

How come? How long were they inside? Three years max?

They smashed someone's fuckin' head in!

lt's disgraceful, Jan. There's no such thing as justice any more!

Yeah, yeah... What did they want? - What d'you think?

l don't think anything. - Your address!

You didn't give it to them, did you? - Scared they're gonna pay you a visit?

Did you, Bob? Did you tell them where l am or not?

Come on, Jan. We're pals, aren't we?

Bloody hell!

Hello Jan.

How did you get here?

Bloody hell!

Nice house.

How d'you get my address? - Does it matter?

No, no. Of course not, but... - From Bob Sels.

That old crook. - Yeah. Right.

My nail's gonna turn black now. Was that really necessary?

Are you two friends again?

We want our money back, Jan. - Hey, hey, steady on.

Aren't we gonna have a drink, first?

To celebrate. Being back together.

That's not why we've come here, Jan. As you well know!

Passports and visas.

Get out and come with me. Both of you.

Hello.

ls this yours? - He doesn't speak Russian.

Where's he from? - lt says on his passport.

Belgium. - Yes. Belgium.

What's he doing here? - He's here as a tourist.

As a tourist?

He hasn't got a visa. - No. Doesn't he have to get one here?

Come with me.

You wait here. - l can come and translate.

l told you to wait here.

He won't get in like this.

Visa. Where is your visa?

No.

Visa.

What? Now's not a good time, Jan. - Not a good time? Not a good time?

l couldn't give a fuck! lt's not a good time for me either.

Ray Van Mechelen is here! - Hold on, hold on.

Remember our agreement? Think carefully.

What d'you mean? - One all, Jan. Say hi to him for me.

Bye. - You fuckin' bast...

ls he slow to catch on, or what?

You can laugh, you bastard. You've got a problem.

28.

95.

40.

38.

lf you lose your number, you get fined.

Everyone gets three condoms.

Do you know what they are for?

Do you know what this is?

Tok, come over here a minute.

Hold this.

You unroll it a bit and pull it open. Then you slide it over it.

Always use a condom. Otherwise you may get ill and die.

l heard that there are men who don't want to use one.

Then they have to pay 2,000 baht extra.

But you can still get ill then, can't you?

A condom costs 15 baht. When all three are gone, come and see me.

You have to be here by 5 p.m. lf you're late, you'll get fined.

We'll deduct it from your wages.

How much do you charge? - Twenty dollars for two hours.

No one here will pay more than that.

How many clients do you have on average? - One or two a week.

l once had five in a week. My best week ever.

That happened once, Sveta.

We have to wait for businessmen at the hotel.

Men around here don't have enough money. - Right...

This is Robert, from the agency.

ln Belgium you get 200 dollar per client.

Two hundred? - For an hour.

Does Robert understand Russian? - No.

There are some costs involved.

Papers to get into Belgium, travelling and accommodation,

the agency that arranges the work... - How much do we keep ourselves?

Half. And more once the costs incurred have been recouped.

There are stories about girls who went to work there

and didn't get paid at all.

Some were even sold... - And kept prisoner.

Unfortunately that does happen. There are dishonest people everywhere.

Here too. - Hmm, yeah...

How do we know that we'll be OK?

l've got a three-year-old son. l don't just want to...

Have you got a picture of him? - Yes, hold on...

Serioja. - Serioja.

Have you... l mean, like us...

What d'you think?

Really?

Get dressed. You've got a client.

He's sitting there. - What do l have to do?

Go with him to his hotel. He'll pay you 2,000 baht for two hours.

Then you come straight back afterwards. lt'll be about midnight by then.

Not a bad choice!

They have to go. They can't stay...

No, Jan. No. Whose money did you use to pay for all this?

Excuse me! l work here, you know!

And l had some savings, too. - Savings? Savings?

And what about this club, eh?

What club? - The T&A club.

l work there. lt belongs to two English brothers.

Oh yeah? We heard you had a share in it too.

Just a little tiny share. - How big is a little tiny share?

Twenty, twenty-five percent. - You can't remember exactly, or what?

You bought into it with our money, Jan.

How was l supposed to know you would get out so quickly?

You're just making things worse, pal.

What should l have done with it? Bought stocks and shares?

You should've fuckin' kept it for us!

While we were wasting away inside, you were living it up.

What you did wasn't right, Jan. You do realise that, don't you?

We want our money back.

l can't give it back just like that. - Why not?

Sell your share in the club. - Who to?

That's your problem. - Sell it to those English guys.

Give me six months.

No, Jan. No. We want our money now. What did you expect?

We'd sit and twiddle our thumbs while you had fun under the palm trees? Eh?

l couldn't get away. l couldn't do anything...

Where were you last night? You were late.

You should've been back here by midnight but l didn't see you.

So that means a fine. 100 baht.

That's not fair. - Not fair?

l'll fine you too if you're not careful!

There were four of them. Four men raped her. Four!

Four? Did they pay extra?

That Arab took her back to his room, where three other men were waiting.

And he only paid you 2,000 baht?

You could've phoned. - They tied her up. Look.

That'll heal. Did they hit you?

You have to be careful with Arabs.

What could she do against four men?

Do you know how long your father has to work to make 2,000 baht?

My father is dead! - Well, think of your family then.

They can do with the money. Or do you want to let them down?
