(static buzzes)

Is there anybody in Australia

that we can contact on your behalf?

Any family?

And you are Fin Jian?

Is that your real name?

So, do you want me to call you Fin or Crystal?

Please, can you help me?

I just need one dollar!

To make a, I have to make a phone call please!

Just, that's, thank you so much!

(deep melancholy music)

(static buzzes)

Hello? (pants)

Yes, I'm calling to, I'm looking for Rubi,

her name is Rubi,

she works at the Tiger Palace, I think...

(rhythmic instrumental music)

- [Case Officer] I just have to ask you

a couple questions here.

You entered the country on a tier 676

short stay tourist visa on the fourth of October,

is that right?

And then you applied for protection visa

on the 10th of November for refugee status.

- [Crystal] I'm not refugee.

- [Case Officer] And then your application was reviewed

by the RRT and that was declined on the 22nd of April.

So Crystal, do you understand any of this?

You're actually on an illegal visa.

- [Crystal] I'm not refugee.

Mr. Huang, he applied for refugee status

on your behalf, for a protection visa.

But that's been declined now Crystal,

do you understand this?

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to send you to IDC

which is the Merrywood Detention Center

and from there you're being deported.

No, no detention, no! Crystal,

Crystal, I am trying to help you here, okay?

Oh, 'scuse me?

Hi, can you tell me where they're holding the Chinese girl?

Her name is Crystal, they sent me here.

Hi, I'm Ashley Hudson,

they said I could see her for a few minutes.

This way.

Crystal, I don't know what else to do.

They won't give you another protection visa.

I come to make money for my family.

Seven month here,

I have nothing.

Oh Crystal.

Um, can we just have a few more minutes please.

You can have one more minute.

Yeah, thank you. All right?

Crystal, you must tell them.

If I tell them, they will find my sister.

They have friend in place--

Crystal, Crystal, they were lying to you, okay?

No.

They were just trying to scare you.

Look, I have a friend, she works in a law firm.

I'll give her a call, maybe she can help.

But Crystal, listen,

you must tell them.

You must tell them.

(traffic rushes past)

Oh, Jonathon, hi,

Ashley Hudson from TI Insurance, how are you?

Good, thanks, look, just wanted to clarify,

that was the corner of Kuyong and James?

I know, but we only cover damage to the car.

So there's no way you can cross-check your records?

The last time I checked it was still Friday.

Well there's nothing we can do for a faulty LPG tank.

Blows the carport away.

Yep, you have a nice weekend too.

- [Gabi] Hello!

Hello.

You've forgotten lunch, haven't you?

Hey, what are you doing tomorrow.

Say between one and three?

No no, it's not shopping,

Dave and I are going to Daylesford for the weekend,

we could use a favor.

Dave's friend just needs to be picked up from the airport.

What's wrong with the shuttle?

Well he flew international.

So? So?

So you're not seeing anyone.

Oh Christ, Gabs!

Oh come on, Ash, you know I reckon

you just need to get out there a little bit!

Steve's really very nice.

Oh, oh, Steve!

Yeah, and, Ash,

it's not actually a blind date.

You're just giving someone a lift

and then you see what happens from there.

You know, I hate you doing this.

(airport intercom drones)

So you're a friend of Dave's girlfriend's, yeah?

Gabi, yeah, yeah.

She organized all this.

Yeah, so how was your flight?

Oh it was fucked, the headset was fucked.

Sunee, this is Sunee, my friend.

Hello, I'm Ashley.

She's from China,

I thought I'd save her a cab fare, give her a lift.

Could you fit her in, yeah?

Yeah, yeah, no problem,

(phone beeps)

(traffic roars)

Thanks for the lift, could have easily caught the shuttle.

Yep, see you around.

Yeah, for sure.

Um, 'scuse me, have you seen like an Asian woman?

She's wearing a gray coat with like a red?

Thank you. Good luck.

Excuse, can I have your address?

My card.

(birds chirp)

Ashley, there's a woman waiting for you at your desk.

I don't know who she is,

she doesn't speak very good English.

- [Ashley] I really think you should contact the police.

No police, no care for non-citizen.

Well what about the people you're staying with?

English bad, no one help them.

Three year before ago.

German tourist, quick quick.

- [Ashley] This is Li?

- [Sunee] Li Rong.

Rong.

She's pretty.

She come maybe prostitute.

Please, you help find her?

Sunee, I don't really want to get involved.

I really wouldn't even know where to start.

Please, Ashley Hudson.

Look, Sunee, maybe I can

make a few phone calls for you, contact immigration,

get an address.

Make poster, missing?

No, no, no, no poster.

But I'll see what I can do.

(ominous instrumental music)

(drum music intensifies)

(static zaps)

(tense electronic music)

Wait here.

(elaborate classical piano music)

Hi, Tom.

(music ceases)

What brings you here?

Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

this was actually a really bad idea.

You know what I thought?

I came home from practice,

I thought we'd been robbed.

I actually called the cops.

I'm sorry, Tom.

I wrote you a note and,

and I tore it up.

Ashley Hudson.

I'm sorry, Sunee, this is Tom.

Sunee thinks her daughter might be caught up in prostitution

anyway, she wrote this card

and I figured that since you're the ex-posty

you might be able to figure out where it was posted from.

Nothing to tell.

South, somewhere South,

could nail it down to a few post offices.

So how are you?

Good, you?

I'm okay.

Seeing anyone?

Gabi's trying to organize my life.

Lucky you.

Can you do me one more favor?

Can you make a phone call?

(distant door closes)

Hello, hello, hello?

Hello?

Hello?!

Hello?

Uh, I was just wondering if you had young Asian girls.

I don't know, 18, 19,

sort of petite, named Li Rong, yeah,

good blow job, that's the one,

and her name's Li Rong.

What's your address?

29 Mayfield Road, brilliant, yep, good, thanks.

This is a total wild goose chase.

So, you don't know what suburb you were in?

Did you see the name of the street?

The number of the house you were in?

You remember anything about where you were?

Very, very bad place.

(ominous music)

So, when did he tell you

you were gonna be a prostitute?

I dancer, I not want to work in brothel.

When did he tell you how much you were gonna get paid?

No, no, no pay.

Debt.

- [Dyce] It's only 700 jobs.

No.

It'll be okay, I'll look after you.

I am dancer.

You heard of King's Cross?

It's famous.

Come on, eat up, don't waste it.

There's some Singapore noodles

and that's chicken in black bean sauce.

Now you're absolutely certain she hasn't been in here?

I'm not sure, sorry.

She could've got stamps, or, oh look,

isn't this your postmark?

- [Postal Worker] I can't make it out.

(knocks on door)

Oh hello, just wanted to leave one of these with you.

We're looking for a girl, her name's Li Rong.

She's about 19 years old and I was--

I run a local business here.

Look, I don't like your chances, she could be anywhere.

Sunee, no one around here seems to have seen her.

Look, I've really got to get back to the office.

I stay.

Maybe I've got an hour on Saturday morning?

(fingers drum)

(ominous music)

One already paid for you, so he's expecting you.

I no work in a brothel!

We fly you out, arrange a work permit,

a new fucking life.

Do you want a new life, hmm?

You owe us 50-fucking-thousand dollars.

No.

Yeah!

I call the police.

I call the police!

The police? (laughs)

My best friend is the police.

Huh?

And he'll send you to detention.

Have you heard of detention in Australia?

Have you, hmm?

They stitch people's lips together

so they'll starve, huh?

And then throw them on razor wire.

They even lock Australians away in solitary

so they go crazy and mad and shit.

Do you think anyone here cares about girls like you?

Look, I don't want no trouble.

The girls come in, they go to Cross, they go on.

Easy, understand?

I come to dance on the table.

Let's make this easy for both of us, huh?

No.

Fuck!

What the fuck did you think you were coming here to do?

Work in fucking McDonald's?

I come to be a dancer on the table.

You can't dance on the fucking table!

No! Come here!

No! Come here!

No, no, no!

(screams and struggles)

Okay, okay, okay okay.

(grunts)

(groans in pain)

No!

(screams and pounds door)

No!

Come here, fuckin' come here!

No, no, no! (screams)

Come here!

(grunts)

(screams)

(dark melancholy music)

Nobody can fucking hear you!

- [Mollica] Rape.

He raped you.

When I come to Sydney,

he tells me he make me

he make me.

(groans and gasps)

(sniffs)

- [Mollica] Fin Jian?

How many times did he rape you?

Four, four time.

(grunts)

- [Gabi Voicemail] Hi Ash, it's me, again.

Look, I'm sorry about Saturday, I am.

I'm gonna make it up to you, I promise.

So, look, we met this guy there in Daylsford, Dennis.

And look, he's keen to meet you

even after I told him about your baggage.

(machine beeps)

- [Jen Voicemail] Hi Ash, it's Jen,

I'll call you back tomorrow.

(machine beeps)

[Dennis Voicemail] Ashley, I presume this is your phone.

Gabi said you might be keen to hook up.

Maybe dinner one night, or lunch?

Oh, this is Dennis by the way, Dennis Leary.

(phone rings) Anyway,

I know this little, I presume you like North African cuisine

I mean you don't have any allergies, right?

Ash?

- [Dennis] Anyway, I'd love to meet up, my number is...

No, I'm sorry mate, I think you've got the wrong girl.

(deep voice talks on phone)

No man, I'm just looking for someone.

- [Dennis] See ya. (machine beeps)

- [Voice On Phone] I saw your number,

aw come on bitch, bet I'm not the first one you had tonight.

Bet you're gagging for it.

(toaster pops)

(sighs)

(phone rings)

Listen you sick fuck, lose my number!

- [Dennis] Uh, Ashley?

This is Dennis.

Dennis!

- [Dennis] Yeah, hi.

Hi.

- [Dennis] Is this a bad time?

No, I'm just getting obscene phone calls.

- [Dennis] How's Moroccan sound for dinner?

Moroccan's fine, that's great.

- [Dennis] Great, okay, excellent.

Okay, well, next Saturday, it's a date.

Immigration are no help.

I heard they deported five girls back to Bangkok on the 11th

so she could even be back in China.

Look, Sunee, I'm not your person, okay?

I just push papers and files around.

You need to contact the police.

Please, no police.

Well a private detective then,

someone who can actually investigate and trail people,

you know, someone who can hot-wire cars

or open doors with credit cards.

I don't even have a credit card.

I'm sorry, Sunee.

- [Mollica] So after four, five weeks,

you were taken to Melbourne?

With two girl, Vanya and Rubi.

Dyce, he take us,

take us on long drive to Melbourne.

(emotional instrumental music)

Rubi needs to pee.

She needs to pee.

- [Dyce] Be there in 40 to 50 minutes so fucking hold it.

Just piss in the car.

- [Dyce] Fuck!

(cries out)

Oh you!

(girls laugh and speak foreign language)

(dark music warps)

Tiger Palace, Doris speaking.

Yes, $65.

Come on in.

(breathes heavily)

(dark music builds)

We work for Vic Glassman in Melbourne.

He say we do 450 job.

- [Vic] You girls are doing good.

In brothel.

Soon it'll be Sundays just for you, okay?

Be careful, lock the doors, okay?

Sorry, Vic.

- [Vic] Melbourne's a fuckin' dangerous city.

- [Crystal] When we finish work,

we go to nother place

and very bad, no good.

(dogs bark in distance)

(traffic hums outside)

- [Man] Thanks, Rubi.

Can you post again?

Yeah, sure.

Oh Crystal,

(giggles) ooh yeah, oh Crystal,

oh you feel so good!

Oh Crystal!

Oh yeah, Crystal!

(grunts and groans)

Oh Crystal, oh Crystal!

(girls laugh loudly and imitate men)

You do that one too! Oh please!

(laughter fades)

After one month, Vic he tell Lai and Wade

(emotional music)

- [Crystal] Rubi, come!

You've got five minutes!

(ocean rushes)

(girls squeal with delight)

Come on.

Rubi.

I got this for you.

Maybe when you've done your jobs for Vic

I'll ask him if you can stay with me.

Would you like that?

That'd be good, right?

Hey, dickhead, hurry up!

(whimpers)

(sad violin music)

(wails)

(sobs)

(hushes)

(wails and sobs)

Shh.

(sings softly in foreign language)

Four, five,

six, seven,

and a half. (phone rings)

Yep?

Oh hello.

(chuckles) Did Mrs. Snyder like your art project?

And how's your new music teacher?

Good, good.

Okay, can you put mummy on?

Yeah, I had a look at that spices and kiln,

it'll be good, no it's a stew--

yeah it's just a stew, dear, look, I've gotta go.

Yeah, okay, I should be home about eight.

Hey, wake up!

Hey!

The fuck's going on in here?

What'd you do to her?

She pass out, I didn't do anything!

She doesn't want to wake up!

Bitch! Wade!

Okay, we'll get you another girl, all right?

We'll get you a Russian girl.

Fuckin' Jesus.

We need Vanya, Vanya!

Rubi, what'd you do to her?

Come on Rubi.

- [Man] Is she breathing, is she okay?

Don't know man, come on, Rubi.

Get the fuck out of here.

Rubi?

Look, I want no part of this.

I can't be part of it!

Rubi!

Call an ambulance!

No more of this shit, mate! I can't be part of this!

Please, call an ambulance!

Get out of here, get out of here!

No, call an ambulance!

Please Rubi, Rubi! (sobs)

- [Vic] Get out of here!

Rubi, she take drug.

No good, very bad.

Vanya want to call an ambulance.

Please call an ambulance!

She's all right.

Come on, Lai, get her out.

Come on, get her out of here.

Please call an ambulance!

But Vic say no, he no call.

He tell lie to get rid of her.

Okay, just dump her, just get rid of her anywhere.

(melancholy instrumental music)

Fuck, fuck fuck!

(seagull caws)

- [Lai] What're you staring at, eh?

We're out of money.

I told you, Vic's keeping it safe.

Safe like he keeps Rubi safe?

(door slams) (spits)

(train roars)

There's a girl here, she needs some help.

What happened?

Dunno, just found her in this parking lot.

Do you know this woman?

No!

Tell me that you'll help her, right?

- [Medic] Bring her this way, mind the door...

(medics murmur)

Where did you find her?

(intense ominous music)

Yeah, we met at a party,

and I dunno, we went out for three, maybe four years,

and I don't know what happened, just kinda fizzled.

What about you?

Gabi said you and, um.

Tom. Tom, yeah, right.

When did you guys?

Hope she didn't put all my baggage on the washing line.

No, just said you had to get out

at least once a month.

I'm sure she was kidding.

She wasn't. (laughs nervously)

- [Dennis] So, why the move to Melbourne?

Family.

Great, you've got family here?

No, my mum lives in Brisbane

and my sister lives in Newcastle.

Ah, right, Brizzy's nice.

And your dad, where's he?

Um, he was a war journalist

but he was killed about 15 years ago

in a kidnapping just off the Basilan Islands.

Oh, sorry.

The Moroccan lamb.

Vegetable tagine.

Thanks, mate.

- [Waiter] Enjoy.

Smells good.

And what about yourself, are you a Melbourne boy, or?

Melbourne born and bred.

I grew up in Saint Kilda

and then made the big move to Saint Kilda East.

Still getting over it.

(phone rings) Oh!

Oh, take it.

Hello?

Hello, hello?

The girl that you are looking for is Rubi?

I'm sorry, who?

Her name is Rubi.

She works at the Tiger Palace

it's on Lyle Street, 213.

I'm sorry, what?

She's in hospital tonight!

Which hospital?

(pants) (suspenseful music)

Hello, hello?

(phone beeps)

Is someone in the hospital?

I don't think so, no, um...

Everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.

So, Gabi was saying that you're a Mechanical Engineer?

(suspenseful music)

I'm currently doing a study on magnesium alloys

in engine blocks, some of the alloys they use

are susceptible to corrosion, (voice fades)

so I'm designing electrochemical tests for engine coolants.

- [Vic] Found her?

Yeah, she's on Long Street,

heading back towards our street.

Long Street.

Hey, pull over just here.

My brother's an Engineer as well,

(voice fades) it kind of runs in the family

so family gatherings are a bit crazy,

everyone talking about torques and tensions and tolerance.

Oh God, I'm sorry, Dennis, I have to go!

Is everything okay?

No, everything's fine, I just have to find someone.

Well can I drive you somewhere or something?

Ashley!

(screams) Hello, beautiful!

Shh.

(ominous music)

(engine chugs)

So where you been?

Did you talk to anyone, huh?

- [Vanya] No.

- [Lai] You sure?

Yeah.

What it means if you got caught, huh?

You'd get deported, we've been through that,

then you're fucked.

I'm sorry.

We're both fucked! I'm sorry.

You're sorry? Yeah.

I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Okay?

Please don't hurt me. I'm not gonna hurt you.

It's okay.

(screams and struggles)

Fuck!

(smacks and yells)

Fuck!

Not the face, watch her face!

(squeals) No!

- [Lai] Fuck you!

No, no, no, look, okay.

(whimpers)

(sobs)

(urine spatters)

(melancholy music)

(music intensifies)

(knocks on door)

- [Gabi] Coming!

Who is it? Ash!

Ash, what's going on?

Gabs, can you come with me?

What, now?

Yes, now, grab your keys,

you're coming to Law Street with me.

Hey, hang on a bit, it's a bit late,

what's this about?

I'm sitting having dinner with your guy Dennis

and I get this phone call from some girl

with some foreign accent, Polish, or,

anyway, she says that the girl in the poster is Rubi,

okay, Rubi, that's Li Rong.

And she works in a brothel.

Ash, you shouldn't be getting messed up in this shit.

I'm going to bed.

No, Gabs, please, I saw the building.

All you have to do is just sit in the car.

I just want to knock on the door and ask

which hospital Rubi's in.

You know, for Christ's sake,

why don't you tell this Sunee woman

that it's not your problem anymore?

Just come with me.

Look, maybe this Rubi doesn't want her mother to find her.

Does that ring any bells?

Hey, no, look I'm,

Ash I'm sorry, come on,

come inside, please, promise me you will not go

knocking on brothel doors.

Now how did things go with Dennis?

Ah, I think the lobster should go there.

God, I just love that one, it's gorgeous.

- [Ashley] Mrs. Glassman?

Maybe we should move it over there, Arly.

Um, Mrs. Glassman?

Oh, oh hello, gee, gosh you're early.

I thought maybe the eats should go there

and maybe the drinks over there.

Oh no, I'm not the--

Oh, my apologies, I thought you were the caterer.

I called you at home, and they said I could find you here.

And I was just wondering if you could help us.

We're looking for this girl.

I don't understand,

I'm trying to set up an exhibition here.

Well I looked you up in the land title records

and they said that you own 213 Lyle Street in Collingwood?

Excuse me, who are you?

I'm Ashley.

And what's this about?

This lady's daughter is missing

and we think something's happened to her.

Please, can you help find her?

I'm sorry, can you please leave us

to set up the exhibition?

- [Arly] I'm moving it back.

- [Mrs. Glassman] Arly,

yeah, that's good there, I think that's fine.

Mrs. Glassman, 213 is an illegal brothel.

Did you know that?

Are you a reporter?

No.

I really don't appreciate your intonations.

We're just looking for this girl.

(emotional music)

That's great, Arly.

[Receptionist On Phone] Tiger Palace, Ru speaking.

Is Wade there?

(Wade's voice answers phone)

Wade.

- [Wade] Yeah?

Where did Lai drop Rubi?

- [Wade] I'm not sure, with a doctor at a clinic.

Pick her up.

She might have turned herself into an asset.

Yeah, sure, I'll just send the file right over.

(phone rings)

Okay, all right, thanks, bye.

(ominous music)

Hello?

You do?

She is?

No, I know we can contact her mother.

Okay. (pen scribbles)

Okay, I'll meet you in the park.

In debt?

For what?

(children yell in play)

He said here.

(birds sing)

Hey, don't touch.

Sorry.

I'm in the middle of a game.

My partner had to leave.

I'm black, do you want to play?

I'm sorry, but I'm actually waiting to meet someone.

Head of the pin in the fork.

It's when you round a threat, you strike back,

one move attacking two of your opponent's pieces.

So you must be Rubi's mother.

So you called?

Where is she?

You find my daughter?

Is she okay? Where's my daughter?

Rubi's fine, your move.

Her real name is Li Rong, is this her?

Yeah, that's her.

We go, we go to my daughter.

- [Lai] That's check.

Please, we just wanna see Rubi.

You're not wired, are ya?

Wired?

Look, I don't want any trouble.

I didn't want to get involved, so,

I'm just checking to see you don't have the cops

on these babies or anything, eh?

No, I'm not, I'm not, thank you.

Yeah, mother here gonna pay Rubi's debt, is she?

You got any cash, money?

I have money. Sunee put that away.

Yeah, Rubi owes these people a lot of money.

$1,600 for my daughter.

$1,600 is nothing to these people, okay?

People, all right then who the fuck are these people?

Listen, I am doing you a favor.

We go with you.

The best I can do is buy you some time, keep her safe.

But you're gonna have to do a lot better than this.

She's gonna have to come up with another 10 grand.

Fuck.

No! What the fuck?

They found my daughter!

He has her, my daughter!

We'll just go to the police.

You're not gonna open your mouth to anyone, are ya?

(chuckles) I'm gonna trust that you're not gonna go

to the cops or the media,

because if you do, I'm gonna find out where you live

and I'm gonna come and fuck you.

If for some reason I'm not around,

my friends will find you

and they'll do you over so badly

you won't be able to control your bodily functions.

Do you fuckin' understand?

Do you fuckin' understand?

Good, we're done.

(melancholy music)

(sniffs)

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

(mystical music)

(train passes)

(knocks on door)

(bright electronic music)

- [Tom] I'll take the couch.

No, I'll sleep here.

I said I'll take the couch.

(TV chatters)

(sighs)

These are really dodgy people, Tom.

I think they know where I live.

Just call the cops, Ash.

And where there has been speculation

over the last few days of a terrorist.

(tender music)

(train rumbles)

You ever been on a ferry?

Maybe we can go up to Sydney.

What about V?

- [Vanya] I need to catch a train.

[Woman In Recording] Where is the train station?

Where is train station?

[Woman In Recording] Please direct me to the eye doctor.

Please direct me to the eye doctor.

[Woman In Recording] These have a strong prescription.

These have a stronger prescription.

[Woman In Recording] Does this pair have UV protection?

Does this dick have UV protection?

(both laugh)

I have a prescription condom!

[Woman In Recording] When you pronounce,

imagine you have--

Vanya.

Ash?

Ash?

Yeah?

What are you doing?

I wanna go down there.

Christ, it's 1:30 in the morning.

Are you coming with me?

(yawns)

(groans)

Oh god.

He's alive.

Who?

My dad.

What?

My mother lied the whole time.

She said he was killed

in that bullshit Abu Sayyaf kidnapping

but he'd just run off with some woman from Manila.

Christ, that's fucked up.

Yeah, well there's a lot that's fucked up.

Hey, hang on, hang on,

that could be her.

Let's follow them, let's go.

(tense music)

We could get takeaway?

Maybe you could order us something too.

What are you doing?

Ash, what are you doing?

That's, Ash that's car grease, come on,

what are you doing?

You've gone mad, haven't you?

Ash, where are you going?

Get back in the car, Ash!

Ashley for Christ's sake, get back here!

Follow me.

- [Tom] No, I won't, I'm gonna call the cops, Ash!

I'm going home, Ash!

(knocks on window)

Yeah.

Are you Rubi, are you Rubi, Li Rong?

No, Li, Li Rong.

Rubi, Rubi, Li Rong!

Are you Li Rong?

Hey chickie, hey what the fuck are you doing?

Hey, get out of there, get the fuck away from my car!

Sorry man this guy's been hassling me all night.

- [Wade] I don't care, don't tell me, sweetheart.

- [Ashley] Hey, just fuck off, man!

Ashley, let's just go, Ashley just get back in the car!

This guy's been hassling me, get fucked!

You talk, hey, what the fuck, hey!

(screams)

(yell and scuffle)

(pepper spray hisses) (screams)

(engine revs)

Fuck, get in the car!

(women scream)

(dramatic instrumental music)

(yells)

Oh, um, hello, sorry to wake you

but I was just actually trying to contact Sunee?

Yeah, no, we found her daughter.

So you guys can stay here a couple of days.

I know the owner, play here on Wednesdays.

The bathroom's just down the hall.

Yeah, we'll go and get some food, yeah, all right.

Oh, Li Rong, I think your mum should be here soon.

Okay.

(laughs gleefully)

Vic, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Fuck!

(gasps)

(knocks on door)

Hey, hey!

Please, I've got an 8:30 meeting in the morning,

just take it somewhere else!

(scream in Chinese)

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

You must tell her,

you must explain to her, Li Rong!

Li Rong!

(scream in Chinese)

Fuckin' shut up or I'll call the police!

Okay!

Shh, shh, Sunee, shush!

Calm down, shush!

Just calm down!

Li Rong?

Can you tell me what the problem is?

(emotional instrumental music)

They take me, they take me to Bangkok.

They sell her, they sell Rubi to pay debt.

Sunee?

Sunee, Sunee?

Tell her I not know they take her for prostitution.

I not know.

(train whooshes)

And the land became defiled,

so that I punished, punished its inequity.

And the land will vomited out its inhabitants.

(laughs and yells wildly)

We free, Rubi, we free!

And you shall keep my statutes and my ordinances

or you shall be cut off from your people

and I, your lord God, he sees all, he knows all.

He's watching us, he's protecting us...

(knocks on door)

Hello.

Rubi?

Rubi!

(emotional instrumental music)

Rubi?

Rubi, no, Rubi, no!

(dramatic music)

No, no, no, Rubi!

(gasps)

Rubi, Rubi, Rubi!

(screams and cries)

Rubi!

(tender emotional music)

Sunee, I'm so sorry this has happened.

(police sirens approach)

Here.

This way.

(office phone rings)

- [Mollica] Look, I'm just asking

for a little bit of cooperation.

You know as well as I do

that I can't hold her at IDC

unless you've got a justice visa.

How am I supposed to get a justice visa over the weekend?

You the AG's office is gonna be closed.

I just need you to hold her for a couple more days.

Ian, there's nothing I can do about that,

she's due out on the next scheduled flight.

Well just for a couple of days!

She's not my department,

you gotta go se Robinson down at IDC.

- [Mollica] What the hell is wrong with you guys?

No, no, no, no, you've been a great help, all right?

Okay, well speak to you in bit,

all right, bye, thanks, bye.

Hi, hi, how are you?

You've only got a couple of minutes outside.

All right, thanks, all right.

Okay, I've got some good news.

I just spoke to my friend who has this lawyer friend

and apparently you're actually eligible

for a humanitarian visa--

Ashley, please.

You must warn Vanya.

I don't think I can, Crystal, I don't know--

Please, you warn Vanya, please.

Um. Yes, yes, yes, okay?

- [Case Officer] Come on girls,

we've gotta wrap it up now.

Why, what's going on?

They're waiting to take her to Merrywood.

Merrywood?

What, detention?

Yeah, she doesn't want to testify.

Oh god, I don't believe this.

Look, I am just doing my job ma'am.

I don't have any option.

She's the one who came in on false papers.

Look, you can't do this.

I cannot possibly give her a 30-day stay.

I understand that. Because she is--

But the girl's just been through hell, okay?

She just saw her friend's suicide.

Okay, well I'll arrange

for some counseling for her at IDC.

Oh, fuck this!

Come on, come on, it's time to go, Crystal.

Crystal, you don't have to go anywhere

because you're eligible to stay here.

It's okay, it's okay.

No, Crystal!

Please warn Vanya!

I'll contact, fuck!

How can you lock her up like this?

(melancholy music)

Fuck!

(knocks on door)

- [Ashley] Delivery!

Got a delivery!

Hi.

Got a delivery, yep, here we go.

213 Lyle Street, right?

I don't think we ordered anything.

Yep, it's what your boss ordered.

Hey, come back, you can't go in there!

Hey, come back, you can't go in there!

(suspenseful music)

Vanya?

Hey wait, you can't go in there!

Vanya!

- [Receptionist] I said get back down here,

I'm gonna call management!

Vanya?

Oh I'm sorry.

- [Receptionist] Hey, wait, where are you?

(sobs)

Can I help you?

Where's Vanya? What are you doing?

Rubi's dead.

Who's Rubi, what are you doing with the phone?

You killed Rubi!

Give me the phone, huh?

Give me the fuckin' phone, huh?

Come on.

- [Ashley] I'm not, I came to warn Vanya.

- [Lai] Vanya, who's Vanya?

What are you fuckin' doing?

You're a fuckin' psycho, that's what you are!

Give me the phone, give me the phone!

- [Ashley] I have to warn Vanya

because immigration is gonna raid this place.

- [Lai] Are they, ooh?

- [Ashley] Yes!

(Vic and Ashley yell)

- [Vic] Who's Vanya?

- [Ashley] Vanya, Vanya, the girl with the blonde hair.

(suspenseful music) (Vic and Ashley yell)

You leave me alone, you leave me alone!

Just get out!

Just take me, do it!

(Vanya screams) (grunts)

(gasps)

Where's my passport?

(gasps) Fuck!

Where's my passport?

Where's my passport?

My passport?

(dramatic music)

Call an ambulance, call a fucking ambulance!

Get me a fucking towel!

Oh shit, here's some tissues.

(laughs giddily)

Shit!

Where'd that come from?

Where's Crystal and Rubi?

Where's Crystal and Rubi?

(screams and cries)

(dramatic melancholy music)

(yells) No, no, no!

(wails)

(intense music builds)

(audience applauds)

(guests laugh and chatter) (jazz music)

- [Mrs. Glassman] Nice to see you, thank you for coming.

Thank you very much for coming.

It's really--

Tell your husband Vanya wants her passport back.

Oh, it's lovely to see you, thank you for coming.

Excuse me.

It's lovely to see you!

Okay, speeches, words everyone!

Three talented artists,

and this is the result of many months

of long days and cold nights. (laughs)

And I would just like to thank my adorable husband

for putting up with my obsession

and making this all possible, so thank you, darling.

So enjoy the snacks-- (shouts in Russian)

(glass shatters)

Excuse me!

(guests murmur in disbelief) What's this all about?

I want to catch a bus downtown.

Please direct me to the nearest post office.

(girls laugh)

Hey listen, I really want you to come

and stay with me for a while, okay?

Just you, me, and Tom.

We'll figure something out, we'll find your passport,

I'll quit my shitty job.

No, no.

This, this is Vic's.

What?

Please phone police.

Okay.

You get the rest of the money to Crystal, okay?

Okay?

Vanya!

(deep emotional music)

Thank you, Ashley Hudson.

Vanya!

(car honks)

Vanya, Vanya!

Hi Mum, it's me.

You know, pretty much the same.

Listen, Mum, I was wondering

if I could come up and see you for a while.

Yeah, me and Tom.

Yeah, that sounds great.

I love you, Mum.

Okay, bye, bye.

(melancholy music)

Thank you, but I do not require your assistance.

Thank you, but I do not require your assistance.

Thank you, but I do not require your assistance.
