I will tell your family that you come to this country to become a dirty whore! You want money? Yes, you want money. And then my family, my family. (mumbles)! Take your clothes off. Right now. - No. - No? Take your fucking clothes off! (loud thump) - [VOICEOVER] Hello. - Hi. - I came to pick up the order. - Oh yes. - Thank you. - Hello, gorgeous. You having a party or what, huh? Hey, I bet she works in the brothel next door. Don't you reckon, (mumbles)? - Could be. You never know. - Watch this. I'm gonna get her. She's mine. Well what's wrong with me then, huh? Come on. - [VOICEOVER] No offense, darling. She just don't wanna serve you, that's all. - [VOICEOVER] You still didn't answer my question. - [VOICEOVER] You're drunk, I can't serve you. - [VOICEOVER] You know what? You've got an attitude problem, bitch. Why don't you just fuck off back to your own country? - [VOICEOVER] You don't talk to me like that! - [VOICEOVER] You know what, fuck her. Fuck all of you! - [VOICEOVER] Fuck you as well! - Hello, and how are you? - All right, darling? Haven't seen you around. - I'm just passing by. - We've got two gorgeous girls just for you. You can either have one at a time or both. Both girls are beautiful. Here's one of them. Would you like to see the other one? - You want a cigarette? - No thanks, darling. I quit last year. I used to smoke cigarillos. Cigars is my poison now. We just launched a VIP service. - Well that's ingenious. I was wondering. Do you get any... Weirdos coming in? - You know, the other day there was this guy. I was playing backgammon on my mobile right here. He said do you know what it feels like to die. I closed my game. I said excuse me, am I hearing right? I lost the game on my mobile. The cheek, he comes here, insults me, and causes me to lose my game. Lucky I didn't call Alex. He'd have ripped his balls apart. Sorry, that reminds me, I'm gonna call my sister about it. - Jesus. What a shithead. - Hang on dear, I'll call you right back. - Her. I want her. - Okay, follow me. - I just want a massage. - Okay. 60 pounds. Thank you. Make yourself comfortable, I'll be right back. He's cute. - Have a good time, darling. - You're not taking your clothes off? - That's because I like giving rather than receiving. - Oh, that sounds interesting. - Hold on, hold on, wait a minute please. Keep it on. I like you like that. (gentle acoustic guitar music) - Who are you, special man? - Who do you think I am? - Robert? - [VOICEOVER] As well. - As? - [VOICEOVER] (mumbles), fossil fuel, art. Life. (mumbles), music. - Hey, you want to come to party tonight? - Did you hurt yourself? - No, I fell upstairs. So you come to party tonight? - I want to. Yeah, why not. Could be fun. - Hey, Suzanne. I got something I think you could be interested in. I met this woman in a brothel. Not quite what it sounds like. She invited me to one of her parties and I said okay. Now I'm not so sure. Public interest? A world exclusive? Inside the sex trafficking trade. The $32 billion industry, over 800,000 women enslaved every year, 100,000 per year, per woman, tax free. I need working cash. I'll get you (mumbles). Hey, I'm your man. This is gonna be bigger than the hacking scandal. I never knew you could read in the dark. - What's up? I don't have much time. - Sex trafficking. - Do you got evidence? You know we need it. Come on Radu, spill the beans. - Maybe another day. - No now, we're gonna get shit kicked out of us. Come on, we need a good one. - I'm tired. My body aches, this thing I'm doing, it's... Dirty. - What do you got? - I've seen this pimp. - And? - Could be tricky. He looks like someone that will make things tricky. - Is there a story? You're studying to be a journalist, a reporter. - Yes. I have... I've got something, but I just need to go deeper. - How deep? - There's this girl and she seems to like me. - So? - She invited me to one of her parties. I need money. - How much does one visit cost? - Something like 60 to 100. - So you need more money, more time. - Yes, yes I do. - At least get your finger out, Radu. Come on, we gotta work. Here, take this, it looks like a regular glasses case, but it's not. Don't lose it. - How long have I got? - How many minutes are there in a day? - Short notice. - Look Radu, go and get the evidence. We need it. - All right, all right. - Fuck off, Radu, just fuck off. - Hey, one thing though. If I do get this story, promise me a job as a reporter? - We'll see. Don't let me down. Don't let me down. Go. (gentle piano music) - Day one. Today I met... A beautiful human soul in the most unexpected of places. I'm gonna go and see her again tomorrow. The story begins here. (playful cheering) - Which part of London are you from, my friend? - [Radu] East. - East, okay. - Yeah, I love it to bits. - [VOICEOVER] What's so special about it? - I don't know, it's a rich tapestry, you know? (idle chatter) (playful cheering) - [Gino] Sorry my friend, members only. Are you a member? - I'll give you a phone number. - [Gino] So who do you know? - [VOICEOVER] All right, Gino? - Yeah, it's good. - I know your man here, how's it going? - Who's this? - He's been to a lot of bars, that's all. Listen kid, do you know who you're talking to? Take it easy, all right? Just beat it, get away. There's a nice peep joint just down the road, all right? - Get away, get away. - You have a talent. You have a goddamn talent. You should be somewhere else, not with these people. Let me help you get away. Give me a big kiss. Come on. (techno music) - Dick. - How you doing? - How are you? - Looking good. - Thanks. - There. That is the one, fresh meat. Good, but novice. - Well just let them take advantage, huh? - True. Why don't you go and dance with her? - You. You don't tell me how to wear and what to do! I do what I want! - Excellent. Great. Great. You take care of her later on. Come. (ominous music) - All right guys, we're stopping for a pee break here. Nataliya needs some fresh air. Don't you, Nataliya? (Nataliya whimpering) - [Nataliya] No! (sobs) No! (man grunting) (Nataliya sobbing and screaming) (girl coughing) - Poor girl. She fainted. Do you want some fresh air as well? (gentle piano music) - Day one (mumbles). I'm just going ahead and... Think I found a way in. I got (mumbles). I'm (mumbles) the buses. There's a girl who wants to run. (laughing) (speaking foreign language) - So... What's the name of that girl you raped and tortured? (laughing) - What are you talking about, you old woman? - [VOICEOVER] Old woman? Have you heard that, Bianca? - Do you want Marie to stick that heel in your ass? - Oh yes please, I would love that. (laughing) - No, oh not yet. - Okay. - (sobs) Don't kill me. - You enjoy raping people, do you? So what's her name again in case we didn't get it? - (mumbles) her name is Elena. - Her name's Elena. (phone rings) - Leo! What can I do for you? Shall I send Elena? - Who's she? - Beautiful girl. She'll knock your socks off even if they're smelly. (laughing) - Can I play? Yeah. Thank you. - Sure. (acoustic guitar music) How long, baby, how long Has that evening train been gone Tell me how long - Wow. - Wow. (laughing) I'm gonna make a very important call. You're gonna be needing someone very special, but before that, take some pictures, you pose. - Feels right. - And another one. Dan, you get in one. Dan, get in one. There. Incredible. (giggling) Let's make a call. One second. Nell, I'm gonna wanna keep her 'till the morning. Yeah. Okay. Don't tell anyone about this. It'll be our little secret, okay? - Okay. Who's coming to see me? - Bruce. - Who's Bruce? - He's a promoter. - Oooh. - Promoter from back home. - Oh really? - Yeah. - When is he coming? - Should be downstairs in the basement, in the foyer. Dan, you wanna see if Bruce is here? - Danny, honey bunny's home! (speaking French) Leo, huh? Would you so kindly introduce me to this heavenly lady? - Hi, I'm Elena. - Elena, this is Bruce. - You look like a million dollars. - Thank you. - Bruce is our man in the music industry. He's got over 20 years experience finding over 30 artists who sold over 100 number one records. - Wow. - He's made about $200 million. - Wow! - I... - I like your shoes by the way. They look great. - So do yours. - Why thank you. - You reckon you wanna be a singer? - Sorry? Well yes. (door closes) There's a problem with this. When can I go, I must get back. - Don't stop! Lady, we'll get you back soon. Okay, try that again. What's this I gotta get back thing? Is she a prisoner or something? - Yeah, something like that. - Well we gotta get her out of that situation. Her voice is a goldmine. Elena! Went to the station, I didn't see no train Down in my heart, I have an aching pain Say how long, yeah how long Just tell me how long (water running) - [Elena] Don't come near me! I hate you! I'll stab you! No. Don't come close. (mumbles). - You look so beautiful with a knife. You want to stab me? Go ahead, stab me. Someone is going to stab me anyway. I'd rather be stabbed by a beautiful woman like you. Pretty face. What's the matter? (sobbing) - I want to go home. Have a family and a baby boy. - I want to go back. I want to go home too. I want a baby. I want a baby boy. (sobbing) I'm tired of this. This is not what I wanted to be in life. - Then let me go. Let me go. Let me go. Let me go. (sobbing) (gentle piano music) - Day two. Those girls are treading much worse than I thought. Alex was completely on edge. Feels like something bad could happen at any moment. (idle chatter) - See this? - Bruce Shirk. - Yeah, fucking Bruce Shirk. - Chairman, CEO, Shirk Concert Promotions. You want me to follow her. - Yes, now. - [Radu] I'll see you later. - See you later, I'm tired. (knocking) - [Alex] Ma! - Darling, long time no see. - How are you? I'm glad you made it. - I'm sorry I'm late, hun. I got held up in traffic. - It's okay, coming through, coming through. - Ah yes, let's get started, shall we? Take your clothes off, sweetie. - [Alex] Come here. - How many girls like her can you get? - As many as you need. Any more offers? No? She's yours. We'll deliver in one week. - [VOICEOVER] And what if she runs? - Three month guarantee. We replace her if she runs. (grunting) - Sorry (mumbles). (sobbing) Get in there! Get in there! (girl screaming and sobbing) Friends, sorry about that. Jak! More drinks. Drinks for girls. - To the girls. - To the girls. - To the girls. (gentle piano music) - [Nell] Easy with her now. - Day three. I got lucky. I captured a scene from a boat. It is an auction for the girls. I've never seen something like this before. Henry and Suzanne, they're gonna be shocked too. (door opens) - Have a look at this. - What is it? Is it an auction? - Yeah. Sickening. - What's wrong? - He's looking at her teeth like she's a... A horse? - A horse. An animal. - [Phillipa] Suzanne? Hi, I'm Phillipa, nice to meet you. - Hi, thank you for seeing me on this great matter. - Sure, no worries. - A few weeks ago our NGO managed to infiltrate a gang of sex traffickers. We've managed to amass some substantial evidence. - Presumably this is not the only ring out there obviously. - Yeah, we're all very much after the worst of them. - I presume that they would have links, so your undercover man would be able to go in again. - Hopefully, yeah. - You don't think he'd be in jeopardy now but... - I think it's a Constance. - You don't think people will be after him? - Day five. Today I got some footage that could put Alex behind bars. (gasps) You gave me a fright. How did you get in? - You didn't know? I was a locksmith once. - I know now. - Straight to the point. Are you after Elena? - Yeah. She's got that great ass. - Is that all? - She's seeing Sammy. - Sammy's okay. The real problem is the music guy. That fucking Bruce. You know Bruce? No? I thought you were watching her. Are you taking the piss here? Huh? Huh? (laughing) Relax, my friend. I was just joking. Respect must be earned. You know something? Back home I thought I could be important member of family. The economy crashed and I had the chance to work underground. Very often I think I should have been a football player. - You did well. You had the image of being someone important. That's what counts. - Yeah. You're a good guy. We can work together. Let's go. - What the hell is going on? You look terrible. - I'm tired, I had a long night. - I want you to wear this. - You have cocaine eyes. Alex is gonna be pissed. - Oh don't worry, I'll just put some makeup on. He's not gonna even notice. - [VOICEOVER] Sorry, how long is this guy gonna be with his, what you call it, round? - [Nell] Not long now dear, not long. A few minutes, few minutes. - Yeah. - [VOICEOVER] Tell me, is the beautiful Elena's here? - [Nell] She only works here one day a week, on Wednesdays. Why do you wanna see her? - [VOICEOVER] Just, you know... - Hey Trix, did you hear about that girl who got beat up? Some geezer called... Max? Trying to take over our patch. - Well fuck him. The money's here. We made 500 last night. - I know. - No payments, taking 80%. - Fuck him. Hey girl, I think we've got a live one, look. You all right, darling? Looking for business? - That's it, get the fuck out of here for good! - Who are you talking to? No you fucking didn't, no you didn't! - Piss off! - Fucking didn't, you piece of shit! - Come on! - Fuck you, fucking cunt! You fucking bastard, yeah! - Come on, Michelle, Michelle! - You fucking hit me, I'll fucking cut you, cunt! - Michelle! - Get the fuck out of here, go! - Leave her alone, you piece of shit, fuck off! Fuck off! - Listen, if I see you ever again... - Yeah, go fuck off! - I'll fucking chop your heads off! - Fuck off! - Go! - All right! Cunt. - (mumbles). Fucking bitches. Give me the thing again. Fucking hell. They have microphones everywhere. I think they're gonna move in at the house. (dramatic music) - I don't believe in God. Just money. My boyfriend, he was pretending to be an angel. He was giving me drinks, buying me clothes. He was the Casanova of Moldova. (laughs) Like a prince. He said marry me. He soon became friends with my parents, with my sister, (mumbles). He said let's go West, there is money and jobs. You'll be (mumbles). Fuck that. We came back, he fucking sold me. Now I'm a slave. - You didn't have a choice. - They are all like that. Telling you sweet stories at first and then trapping you in their cage. - Girls, girls, look what I found. A hotline number, stop the trafficking. A way out for us. - Alex will be so mad if you won't pay him back these debts. - We could just call this number. - But how? - Alex's phone. - Yeah. - If you can take it. - Yeah. (knocking) - [Alex] Hey, little snakes. I believe you plotting here something. Where is that card you talking about? Huh? Where is it? Where is it? Here? Ah. Is this joke? Is this joke? Hotline. Free phone. Is this a joke? Come here. (sobbing) Come here, you little mouse! (screams) Ah. Elena! Come here, Elena. Get in there. You are lucky that boss likes you. Not nice, Elena. What? Leave that shit for later! Huh? Get up. Get up now! Get up. Take your shower. Get ready! You have client waiting. Take her. And you. Here. Look at me. You piss me off... Once again, you're gonna be next. And you. You. You! (sobbing) (screaming) - (sobs) I wanna go home. - Where the (mumbles)? (screaming) More cards? Where is it? Where are they? Huh? Get up. Get up! Get up, ah. Aha, where is it? Between your legs? Huh? Where is it? - Maybe on the floor. - No more cards. No more cards, huh? I'll be back. (laughing) (whispering) - [Radu] Elena, I'm gonna take you to see Leo. He's asked to see you. - [Elena] I can't take it anymore. - [Radu] Just be strong. (gentle piano music) Day six. Alex is getting increasingly nervous. I suspect that the police are investigating the brothel and... I'm tired. - [VOICEOVER] Oh yeah. I'm ready for this. (coughs) Damn, I got a cold coming on. I hope not. I promise not to give it to you. A little kiss. These new shoes are so tight. Thanks. Oh yeah. - Is that good? - Yeah, really strong, really strong. There's a lot going on, I'm really tense. (grunts) Easy. That's it, that's it. Yeah. I needed this. Oh man. (phone rings) Anything about Leo? Get in there and don't come out until you have some answers! Sorry, gotta take a piss. Well this is unexpected. Can I get you anything? - [VOICEOVER] Coffee, thanks. I was just in the area and I thought I'd drop by and ask you a few questions if you don't mind. - We're out of coffee, can I get you a tea? - [VOICEOVER] Nah. - Hello, what's your name, princess? - You're a funny boy! - [VOICEOVER] I like you. (laughing) - Are you okay? - Yeah, of course, I am fine. Fantastic, that's great. Thank you. Hey, baby. - (mumbles). - (mumbles). - Get lost! (techno music) (giggles) - You bitch, you belong to me! - Let me go. - You wanna be a star, huh? Huh? - Let me go! - Alex, what the fuck is going on? While in my fucking club? This is no fucking with business, man. Alex, we gotta talk. - I'm not finished with you. - Alex, we gotta talk man. - What, man? - Alex. Me and you, we go back a long time, man. We have a good relationship. - Yeah. - Why let it get fucked up by a woman? She ain't good to you anyway. (speaks foreign language) Give her to me and I'll pay you. - She's demoted to day shift now, Sam. - Okay, fine, fine. I'll pay you now. - Sammy. - What? - Now. And I mean it. Wanker. (loud thud) (gentle piano music) - Day seven. I'm seriously on edge now. I can just feel a storm coming. - I want that woman. - It's (mumbles). - Simple as that, just go and pick up a girl, bring her to you. - How will I know where to find her? - [Nell] There she is. - [VOICEOVER] Okay, I'll pay for it now. Hi. Don't fucking move, okay? I'm gonna cut your throat. Do you hear me? Yeah? Okay, I want you to walk with me. Down the stairs, at the comforter hit a right. Okay, yeah? Come on. (mumbles). Get the door. Get the door. (gentle piano music) - [Susan] You took your time. - Something to do with filming all this glamour. Rape, the killings. Being part of Alex's crew. I've had some delays. - [Susan] I need to get the police on this, and the report? - Susan, I know you need this report tomorrow, but... - [Susan] Brutal stuff, but we need more evidence. - Can you wait until tomorrow? - [Susan] Okay, tomorrow morning at the latest. We don't have many people on the inside. You are making history. If we lose this battle the traffickers will win and the rights of the trafficked victims to be free will be lost forever. (phone rings) - Alex. - [Alex] Meet me at Sam's nightclub at 10. - Yes, I'll be there. (phone rings) - [Alex] Lots of drugs at club, call Sammy tonight. It is going to be big. - Woo! (laughs) - [VOICEOVER] I've gotta go. - You can keep the watch. - [VOICEOVER] Hey thanks. - It's your turn. Thanks. - Hey Tim, it's Leo. I'm worried about Elena, she hasn't arrived yet and she's usually here on time. - [Tim] I think she's in a nightclub, but it could be dangerous, so stay away. - Okay. Bet it's Sammy's nightclub. (gentle piano music) - We're here. We're off tonight, baby. I have a plane waiting for us. You okay? - What about Alex? - Forget about Alex, Alex is gone. He's out of your life. What you do is you're going to sing and then we'll be off by one, I got the tickets, everything is ready. - I (mumbles). - Yes, make it a good one. But before you sing, I have something for you. Just a second. Something here which I bought to remind you of home. - Oh my God, it's so beautiful. - It's just as beautiful as you. - It's just like my grandmother's. (coughs) - Hey brother. Hey man I'm late, sorry. - I can't let you in, are you a member? - What? - [VOICEOVER] Are you a member? - No, I'm not a member. - So... I'm sorry, you'll have to go. - I'm gonna have to go? - Yeah, we're all members here. - Come on man, let me in the pub. - Sorry, I can't help you. - It's cold, mister. - I know it's cold, but listen, it's not up to me. - It's not up to you. - It's not up to me. - Get the manager, man. - Well I am the manager. - You're the manager? - I'm the manager. - But it's not up to you? - It's not up to me. - I see what this is, I'll make it worth you while, man. - Well many people have tried that one. - Come on. - Listen man, just go all right? - 50. - (laughs) All right, all right. All right, why don't you have some warm drinks? - Thank you, thank you manager. (gentle piano music) - [Radu] Yeah, she ran away. Elena escaped. My article got published. Great, it made page five in a free daily newspaper. The police didn't investigate a thing. That didn't surprise me. No police force in the history of the world has be able to deal with this issue. What did I get out of this? A lousy job as a junior reporter. I feel like Macbeth when he was crowned King of Scotland. Can't remember the last time I had an erection. Fuck the newspapers. They use this type of story to titillate and to sell copy. How many girls choose to become prostitutes, or sex workers if I'm going to be politically correct? They're duped, forced, sold into it. It's happening everywhere. What the hell have I done to help? I could've done more by attending a pro-legislation rally. Nobody can do a damn thing about this. Eagle Eyes here could eliminate the thugs like Alex. It could get the girls the medical attention they need, but surely they'd still be treated as commodities. As Benjamin Franklin put it, in this world nothing could be said to be certain except death and taxes. To that I would add prostitution. The world's oldest profession lives on. (gasps) (heavy breathing) - [Elena] I came here to sing. Do you sing? (high-pitched buzzing noise) - [Alex] Everything all right, my friend. Sorry about that. I've got everything under control. Just a little bit of misunderstanding. Drink to the girls. - [Radu] You want me to follow her? - [Alex] Yes, now. My head is fucking exploding here. - [Radu] All right, all right. Alex. Alex. - [Elena] I want to go home. - [VOICEOVER] Are we (mumbles)? Why do you think I'm lying here? (gasps) (heavy breathing) (gentle piano music) |
