I told you
girls to smile. [buzzer] [screams] [tires screech] [tires screech] [door opens and closes] Galia, they're going to kill us. They'll kill us, I know it. I don't want to die. Don't show them you're scared. They'll kill us I don't want to die. Calm down. Calm down. Wait. Wait! Where is it?. Where is it?. It's mine! It's mine! Quiet! Quiet! [crying] No. No. [shouts] No! Give it to me! It's mine! Give it to me! It's mine! [screams] [shouts] What do you think you're doing? Is this the thanks I get for all l do for you?. Hm? Do you want to end up like Nina?. They buried her in Rishon Beach, three meters under the ground. They plan to do the same to you. Are you not listening to me?. Wash your damned face, change your clothes, and go back to the nest. There's no time. Everything hurts. Galia, you're not listening to me. I'm not going back there. They'll burn your body, and sweep the ashes away till nothing's left. Let me go. Listen, bitch. Who the hell are you to tell me what you want or don't want?. Who the hell are you?. You dirty whore! You abandoned your child! You make a living thanks to me! You bitch! You're still alive because I say so! You want to leave?. Want me to help you?. So help me, too. Nothing in life is free. Give it to me. Here, it's yours from now on. Now you get out of the car, go there, put a bullet in the guard's head, and two in that fat guy. Is that clear?. You want to leave the nest, right?. This is the quick way out. You want me to call the guys and tell them to go to Dobrinensky 37, apartment 6?. Is it apartment 6?. Third floor, apartment 6. Is that what you want?. It's not a problem. Look what they sent me. Look what they sent me...just now. All this technology, it's unbelievable. Someone on the other side of the world takes a picture, and it's here in a second. Fantastic. Calm down. Calm down! Save your strength. Relax. They won't kill her. Are you crazy?. We're not animals. It's a shame. She's so beautiful. They'll turn her into what you've become. What a shame. She'll go down the same road as you. She'll pay for what you've done, if you don't do this. Is that what you want?. Is it?. Is it?. I want my passport. And my money. Oh, thank God. That's what I wanted to hear. You're a smart girl. That's why I like you. You grasp things so quickly! Passport and money! Shut up! I'm not deaf! You'll get it. Do what I asked you to. Go ahead, before they leave. [people shouting] You like it? Go shopping, find yourself some decent clothes. And fix this place up. We'll talk later. Is this all?. Where's the rest of the money and my passport?. I'll be here at 8:.00. (little girl) Hello? Who is this? (man) Hello? Hello? Who is this? It's me. Galia. How are you?. What do you want? T o talk. Let me talk to her, please. I'm coming home. What for? I want to see her. Don't come back. I told her you are dead. (little girl) Daddy? Daddy, what are we having for lunch? Lena, be quiet. I'm on the phone. Please. Let me speak with her. [phone off the hook] [man and woman arguing] [glass smashes] [arguing continues] [man arguing] [slap, woman cries] (Mishka) You're my best worker. This is my last job. And if l say it's not?. But you promised. I thought we'd celebrate properly, with Humus and Vodka. But you have no patience. T ake it. In two weeks. It's not first class, but it's a window seat. Where's the rest of the money?. Do your job now. Come back in two days to get your money and passport. I'm sick of your sour face. I won't miss yours, either. Aerosvit 238. T el Aviv-Kiev. [man and woman arguing] [muffled pop music] [banging, man shouting] M usic very loud. T urn off music, please. T urn off music now or I call police. Get inside already! Stop following me! Leave me alone! I don't need your help. It's 19.90 NlS. Here. Thanks. It's 85 NlS. I owe you bottle of water. Also tissue. What?. I don't have tissue, but I have toilet paper, extra soft. It's closest I found. You cooking something?. It's good, these noodles. I like this, too. Just that you have to know how to, um, toss it, how to jump it, you know. And make the sauce good. I follow instructions. Yes, but with this kind, instructions no good. Here instructions in Russian. He's gonna be back soon. If I'm not home, he gets angry, you know. If he knows I'm here-- So go. This you paint?. Looks like Eilat. Eilat?. Yes. It's a city in the South. Nice place. Listen. My husband, he-- He's not always like this, you know. Sometimes he gets-- You know. Yes, I know. Sometimes he don't like your food, sometimes he has a bad day at work, sometimes too much money to pay for bills, sometimes weather no good. Yes, I know. So, we okay?. It's not your fault. Are you long time in lsrael?. Two. Really?. You speak Hebrew?. A little. What's up?. Goddamn it. Go fuck yourself. Nice! [telephone rings] I'm probably disturbing you. You're busy with this cooking and everything, so. I should go. You can take. What?. No, forget it. No. I can't. I have-- It's not nice, you don't know me. No, take it. [telephone rings] That one is better. This one is nothing special. This one, yes. This is on mivtza. You know, on sale?. You take one, you get one free. You know?. This one, the one you take, no mivtza. Okay?. If you already eat this shit, at least don't pay extra. Much better with mivtza. Come. Where did you take this from?. You never, never take milk from first row. Never. Always from the back. See?. Much better date. Two years you're here, and you don't know this?. Come, I'll put you in express line. Excuse me, pardon me. What's going on?. Nothing's going on, everything is okay. I work here, people. Relax, breathe. Everything's okay. Put 54 NlS on my tab. Okay, sweetie?. No problem. Wait here one minute. I finish here, you'll walk me home. This is what I owe. It's my treat. Forget it. All this?. I need to pay. Tell me. You like?. I'm not sure about color, but very comfortable. I like this. You didn't tell me your name. Galia. Galia. I know a Galia. There was a Galia with me in the army. Nice girl, very pretty. I hate her. Eleanor. Like the song. # Eleanor # # You're as pretty As an angel # You know Zohar?. What is Zohar?. The best singer in the world. You didn't hear of the songbird?. You didn't hear of the king?. The king is not Elvis?. Here, king is Zohar. The flower in my garden, Alone I shall walk. You don't know these songs?. Sis, two years in lsrael, and you don't hear a little classic lsraeli music?. You've got a lot to learn. I'm I'm no no sucker. sucker. Exactly. When someone tells you something you don't like, when you feel someone tries to make you look like an idiot, you just give them that look and you say, Hey, I'm no sucker. Like this they know you're not some stupid airhead. You understand me, Ahoti?. Hey, I'm no sucker. Nice! Yeah?. Yeah. See that guy over there? The tall one with the curly hair? Step out of the car, go to the side-entrance, you'll find our man. He'll let you in quietly. Go inside, and look for them in the crowd. Go over to the Barbie in the red dress, and put a bullet in her forehead. That's what Roni wants. That'll teach the bastard killing his bitch. Go ahead. Take it. Find someone else. I won't do it. Don't start this again. Do what has to be done. This is the last job. You'll get your passport and papers, and then you're free to go. Go ahead. [imitates sound of aircraft engines] [electronic music] Wanna dance?. Wanna dance with me?. Cigarette?. [cries] Don't kill me. Don't kill me. Please, don't kill me. [man and woman arguing] [banging] (Roni) Make sure it doesn't happen again. Am I being clear?. Goodbye, Mishka. Bye. We'll talk. I see you don't want to part with me. You did a lousy job. Barbie is still breathing. I did my part. I'm flying back home. I don't owe you people anything else. Yes, you do. Yes, you do. You have a job to finish. Clean cut, with no loose ends. That's what you owe us. I want my passport and my money. I want-- I want, I want. Why are you acting like a baby?. I told you a thousand times, Roni and Michael are locals. They're not like me. They have a different mindset. Why can't you understand that?. They don't trust you. Be a good girl, do what they ask and prove you're trustworthy. That's all. Barbie is in lchilov Hospital. Go there and waste her. [man and woman arguing] [shouts] Your things are here. Just a second. You want, I bring tea to put-- You put a tea bag on eye. It's good. Yes, I know. It doesn't work for me. A ticket costs around 20 NlS. Want to fill one out with me?. Ticket?. Football. The sports lottery. Sixteen million this week. Hm?. (Eleanor) Be'er Sheva or Petach Tikva? What do you say? I say Be'er Sheva wins, easy. Be'er Sheva had a very good season, you know? Now you. You know how?. You want I tell you the list of games?. I don't know teams. It's better you don't know. It's all luck, anyway. This is why I come here. It's quiet. You can concentrate. Maybe get some help from above. It works, the above?. Once, I got seven correct. I won twenty NlS. But the best place it works for me, not that I ever won there anything, but, just that I can feel a connection, something real, it's in the Mikveh. Where?. The Mikveh. It's where all the religious women go to shower. It's like this big, religious swimming pool. And every time I come out of there, I feel Iike a million dollars. Like I have this force. He never hits me when I come from there. Never. Makes you feel clean. Very special. And under water you can talk to God. You wouldn't believe it. And what will you do with money?. I don't know. I'll run away. Start somewhere new. Like you. Move to a new place. Not easy. A lot of problems. Problems?. You know what I have. Once, he loved me. He took care of me, he treated me nice. He made me feel like a woman. Today, I'm living with a monster. But your family, they help you, no?. Family. They say it's my fault. That I should try to be nice, that l should try to understand. I understand. I understand l have to get away. Somewhere, anywhere. Away from his fist. Can't let my baby suffer here. Did you tell him?. No. He doesn't deserve to know. This time I have to do something. Otherwise, either he'll kill me, or I'll kill him. And you?. You must do something with your hair. What?. I like my hair. Looks different, your drawing. Looks like Eilat. I was there a couple of times. I was there when I got married. It's a beautiful place. Eilat?. Yeah. You wanna go there?. Just the two of us. There's an express bus every hour. We can go. I can't. I have work. I'm just, uh, I'm just talking bullshit, you know?. What do I have in Eilat?. Did l lose there something?. [knocking at the door] Wait, maybe-- Get in the bathroom. What are you doing?. My hair. Alone?. [door opens] Hello. Hello. Eleanor, uh, please meet, this is Mishka. Mishka is, uh-- Uncle. Uncle for Galochka. Mishka. Eleanor. Nice to meet you. Neighbor of Galochka. Ah. Eleanor is doing my hair. It's very nice. Looks like a horse I had in Ukraine. You mean, your mother?. You're making new friends?. She's not a friend, just a neighbor. What are you two talking about?. She doesn't know a thing, relax. Sunflower seeds. Good seeds. Have some, please. I taught her some sentences. I guess she likes the language. Thank you. Do you like?. She's hot, huh?. Uh-huh. Yes. Like Miki Haimovich. Yes. Well, uh, you probably want to talk and everything, and I have things to do, so. Talk to me later?. Is this what you do instead of work?. I'm sick of looking like shit! Are you out of your mind?. I told you to finish the job! I finished it! I want my money and my passport! Go to lchilov Hospital and finish Barbie. Do it yourself. I won't kill women! Get out of here! You have 48 hours left. After that, you're on your own. Get out of here! A girlfriend of mine from work, she brought a picture from the ultrasound. It's amazing. I'm happy you come with me. It's in lchilov Hospital, yes?. Yes. I told you already three times. It's in lchilov. I go look for bathroom. Okay. Look. You can see the heart. You can tell already, huh? I have a stomach. Next month I'll look like a sweet potato. You'll look like a sweet potato, yes. But you will feel like elephant. Go fuck yourself! You'd better not draw me like this. Let me see. Let me see. I want you to take me to this place you told me. This place where a woman feels clean. What, the Mikveh?. They will never let you in. It's only for women who are married, and, me, I'm pregnant, and I have all these scars on me. They will never let me in. Take me there. I want to feel clean like normal woman. In a month you will be very heavy. If you say elephant one more time, I swear-- I had like this big. Oh. A lot of back pain. Oh. I didn't know. Yes, to carry a baby a lot of back pain. I didn't know you have a child. Girl. Really? Yes, really. Why not?. Nothing. It's just I didn't know. Your daughter, she's in Russia? Ukraine. And you came here to work, to make money for her? You're a good mother. I would do the same, you know. Don't touch it, leave it alone. Why you have this?. It's not your problem. Don't bullshit me, tell me the truth. Put it back. Teach me how to use it. I'm serious. This is not for pregnant women! Give it to me, it's dangerous. This thing is heavy. [shoots] You didn't answer me. Why do you have this?. With this rain and thunder, nobody heard anything. You owe me a TV. 21-inch plus remote control. You owe me an answer, Galia. Don't ask questions that answers you don't want to know. If you don't want to tell me, fine. At least teach me. I want to know how to use it. It's not for woman with baby. He's going to come back soon, and if you teach me to be strong like you, maybe he will stop. It's a waste of time. It does not help. Wait, Galia. Teach me. I want to know. A woman with baby needs to know how to protect herself. Two, three, four. [clap of thunder] Okay, to hit target is not most important thing. First you need to learn not to be afraid. Hold gun strong. Strong! Okay. Two, three, four. [clap of thunder] No fear, no fear. Point straight, okay?. Strong, hold the gun strong. Hazak! But I'm holding strong. No, you hold gun like little girl. Hold gun like woman. Don't let gun hold you. You hold gun. Two, three, four. [clap of thunder] Now, teach me how to aim. Who are you talking to? Tzipora. Send my regards to your sister. He sends regards, sis. Where's my drink? I n a sec. You said that an hour ago. Are you ready? Y es. Did you count like I told you?. My last period was one week ago. Y es, because they're like--The women over there are so fussy. Bring me some of the ice cream you bought. Okay. Can we go already?. Soon. Are you bringing it? The gorilla just woke up. I have to go. May you bring your mother much joy, you hear?. And many grandchildren. Thank you. Goodbye. God bless you, pious woman. Good that you came here. How are you?. Thank God. I just-- My head hit the wall. Show me. I don't think I can go in like this. It's not so bad. I'm accompanying a friend. Are you married?. She's engaged. I didn't see a ring, but okay. A bride to be. Congratulations. When is the wedding?. In two days. Did you count seven clean days?. Yes, we counted. What's your name, bride?. Galia. Galia Rasimova. Mazal! Bring out a cake, we have another bride. Maybe it is not a good idea. Give me your hand. Sure it is. It's not for me, this thing. Don't worry, it's nothing. Just like going naked into a swimming pool. Didn't you ever do this?. Not when God was looking at me. I'm not going in. Are you crazy?. They're waiting for you. Everybody has to be clean. That's for good people. But you are good people. He will see me, and he will know immediately how dirty I am. Stop talking bullshit, Galia. I did many things that are not good. In Ukraine. Also here. But worst thing I do, l-- I left me daughter and my husband. My daughter, when she was one year old, I just got up and left. What's her name? Yelena. She's five now. Why did you leave her?. She-- She didn't come out right. Hey. These things happen, Galia. It's not your fault. It just happens. The doctor said she has not enough oxygen in her brain. She will not be normal like everyone. It's all because of me. No, it's not. It's my fault. No, it's not. I know, I feel it. Hey. And I left her. I'm a monster. Galia. Hey. I can feel you love your daughter. I can feel you love her very much. Call them. I'm ready. Galia, darling, put your arms beside your body. Spread your legs a bit. Stretch your fingers out. Darling, spread your arms apart, touch no part of your body, immerse yourself three times, and you come out purified. Kosher. Kosher. Kosher. "Blessed are You, O Lord, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us regarding the immersion. " Galia?. How's it going?. Go home. Who is that?. People from work. Go home. Go, I said. Mishka asked to give you your passport and money. Come here and take it. Get out and show me. You didn't come home. You said there's bus every hour. Let's go. What, like this?. In the middle of the day?. Come on. Come. If I go, I can't come back. Can't come back after a week, crawling like an idiot, because then he-- I will take care of you. How?. With your gun?. I told him. Told him about the baby, and he promised that he will change. A baby needs a father. I want to give him another chance. T o do what?. He promised. To do what?. Huh?. Look at this. Your face, your wounds. This you can fix. A baby you can't. He promised. They always promise. It's hot there, very hot. I think all this hot weather and all the sun is not good for the baby, you know?. I also don't know the hospital there. I don't know if it's any good or not. Forget about him, okay?. Away from him you're safe. He'll find me. I can feel it. He'll find me and he'll finish me, I know it. I can't do this. It won't stop. He'll never change. You're making a mistake. You must confront this, you must not be afraid. You have to run away. No. I don't want to. You want to run?. You can go. I stay. You go back now, you put you and your baby in danger. I know what I'm doing, Galia. You come with me. No, let go of me! You're not my mother. I'm going home. You come with me. I help you! You're not helping me, you're hurting me! I do what is good for you! Who do you think you are? All you do is run away. You run away from your country, from your family, from your child. I don't need to run away, okay?. I can take care of myself. I want my money and I want my passport. I want my money and l-- "My money and my passport." Getting cocky, huh?. I want what is mine, and I go. What is yours, huh?. What is yours?. Nothing is yours. I own you. My money and my passport. Who do you think you are, bitch?. I own your pussy. I own your soul. Everything about you, I own. Now, you be good little girl. You do good work for three months, then...maybe we talk. Now, get the fuck out. I only want what is mine. [groans] You're a waste of money. My money. Now, take your tits and get the fuck out. My money and my passport. Now! Get 100,000 and the passport. A hundred and fifty. I'm no sucker. Put on floor, close door. Relax, guys. [screams] Everything is okay. Drop the guns. Zachi, don't even think about it. Nobody shoot. Open the door! Drop the guns!. Put down your guns. Come on! Hi. This is for Kiev?. Yes. Boarding is in one hour. We will announce the moment the gate is open for boarding. Have a nice flight. Thank you. Hi. Shalom. Eleanor?. It's Galia. How are you?. I wanted to apologize. It was wrong of me to make you leave. It's your decision. Anyway, I just wanted to say goodbye before I leave. Thanks for everything, Eleanor. Goodbye. You were right. He hurt me. Get me out of here. Please, get me out of here. I think I killed him. Would you like to play with him?. He needs somebody nice to play with. Somebody nice who'd care for him. His name is Poogi. Poogi the Penguin. He wants you to hug him tight. How are you?. Are you hurt?. I'm okay. Where is he?. Is he dead?. No, just unconscious. Get your bag. Take only what you need. I'll go get bandages. No, Galia, I'm not staying here alone with him. Don't worry. I'll be right back. Don't let anyone bother me. What do I do with you?. Huh?. What do I do with you?. You know, a lot of money I put on you. A lot of money. A lot of dingi. T o take you from Mishka the son of a bitch, you know?. Good one. Who do you think you are?. Huh? You whore? Huh, whore? You bitch! Nobody stick a gun to Roni's face! Nobody! Hey, hey. Nobody stick a gun on Roni's face, okay?. Huh?. It's a shame to waste you. [groans] [shouting] [yells] Bro, what's going on there? Yo, Roni! Did you kill her or what? Roni! Everything okay in there?. [groans] You bitch! You fucking bitch! You fucking bitch! Your boss is dead. You're out of work. Go. Go! Get out of here. Get out of here! [cell phone rings] Yes. Yes. Yes. Where is she?. Follow her. I'm on my way. Don't worry, leave her to me. I've had enough of her. I'm finishing her today, I'm burying her in the ground today. You work for me now. Two tickets to Eilat, please. Here you go. Good night. Thanks. What?. Nothing. Just keep walking. There! Eleanor, you must get off the bus. I'm not leaving you. These people, they won't let me go. I'm not leaving you, Galia. If we go, we go together. [girl screams] [man whistles] Galia! (Eleanor) No! (Galia) No! [gun clicks] [gunshots] |
