Hi.

- Hey. - Hey.

Get in.

Hey there, baby!

Come here, baby!

Beautiful.

Mmm.

Thank you.

Hello?

Yes.

How are things?

What time?

Are you going to dress like a slut again?

And whine if you don't find a guy?

Hold on a second.

I'll call you back. I've got work to do.

I'll swing by your place.

See you tonight.

Do you have any more time left?

- Your thighs touch. - What?

Your thighs rub together.

Stop it!

It's your body shape.

Even if you weighed 30 kg, your thighs would still touch, like a baby's.

You're silly! Back off!

Why?

Babies are cute!

What's your name?

Rupert.

Nice to meet you.

- And you? - Electre.

Nice to meet you.

You coming? I'm fed up. Let's go home.

Not just yet.

I can't take any more.

Are you staying?

Seriously?

You'd stay for that?

"That" can drive you home, if you like.

Hey.

Do you like him?

A little.

You're not picky.

You think all guys are lame.

He's got a lousy car.

Well... thank you.

You're welcome.

Have a good night.

What do you do in London?

I work in an agency.

I find flats for French people.

Do you make a good living?

A living.

How about you?

A living.

Do you mind if I put on some music?

No.

Got anything happier?

No.

I have sadder stuff.

Do you enjoy suffering?

Ever wonder what life's like for these girls?

What?

Do you ever wonder what life is like for these girls?

No.

It's normal.

You're a great estate agent.

With estate agent's problems.

Their lives...

...despair, misery...

...concentrated violence.

You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

You caught a lucky break.

You see the girl in the red right there?

Maybe she's a great estate agent potentially.

Shut up!

I'm sorry, I...

Let's just have the music.

Excuse me.

Can you let me out? I'd like to walk a bit.

Anything wrong?

Fine, I...

I need some air.

I feel nauseous.

A walk will do me good.

- And you? - Charlotte.

Okay.

- Your name? - Imogen.

- Sorry? - Imogen.

- Okay. What's your name? - Chrissy.

Very good. Okay, could you laugh?

Could you show me your teeth?

Okay, your teeth?

Your teeth?

Okay.

Bit more relaxed.

Could you come on and walk?

Okay, come back.

Hello, beautiful!

What's new?

Nothing.

You look tired.

You think so?

Do you sleep well?

Very well.

Do you eat well?

Vegetables?

Lots of vegetables.

That's good.

You're prettier than ever.

Thanks.

I'd like to take off on holiday.

Where?

I don't know.

Not sure who with, either.

- Do you still see Marine? - No.

Good.

I'm fed up with seeing...

girls of the trade.

Do you want to go with me?

Yes.

Why not?

Do it as a favor.

They're good customers. They know you.

I trust you.

I know. But that's not it.

- I don't do that anymore. - I know.

But it's a one-time thing.

It's big money.

I'll think it over.

Yes, please do.

Still wild about me, Pussy?

You turn me on.

Shh.

I'll give you the papers Tuesday.

We're meeting then anyway.

Fine.

I'm counting on you, Virginie.

Stop looking at me.

I'll look if I want.

Get some rest.

Bye, Cook, honey!

You hate that I earn so much, eh?

You seem to be in a nasty mood, darling.

Not too nasty, I hope.

Sit down.

Don't touch.

- Hey, ebony lady! - Yo!

- How are you? - Fine and you?

Got time for lunch?

My aunt didn't show up this morning.

You should have phoned.

I was in the neighborhood.

Oh, Okay...

I'll take a cigarette break.

I'll be right back.

So, did you fuck the guy?

No...

I wouldn't mind if you had. You can tell me.

Well, I didn't.

What's up?

You got a secret or what?

Have you ever met a guy

and felt totally bewildered?

Like you're about to die? Like it's the end of your life?

No, forget it.

Hi.

Hello.

- Hello. - Thirty-Six Upper Street.

- Yeah, sure. - Thank you.

Hey!

Hey.

Thanks.

Why's he here?

He called. I invited him.

Is he your new boyfriend?

Not at all.

I just invited him.

I'm sorry about the other night.

It's no big deal.

Hold on.

Do you want me to drive you home?

I should never go out.

It's always an ordeal.

You don't have fun?

I don't know how to.

Me, either.

Talking with someone like you is my idea of fun.

Like me?

What am I like?

Not normal. Barely human.

No sad song?

I'm not going to put on any song at all.

I'm better when I'm alone.

I think I'm toxic for others.

Why do you say that?

No reason.

If you don't know how to have fun, and you don't chat,

can you sing?

A little.

Go ahead.

- What, here? - Yes.

Okay.

Hey you, tell me you love me.

Even if it's a lie

Even if we don't stand a chance

Life is so sad

Tell me you love me.

Every day is the same

I need some romance.

Come in.

I didn't lie, she's lovely.

What do you think?

She's beautiful.

Sit.

Sofia, this is Virginie.

She's the one you're going away with for the weekend.

She will make sure everything goes well for your first big trip.

Virginie and I have known each other for a long, long time.

I have complete trust in her.

You understand?

You must do everything she tells you.

It's very important.

Like me, trust her. Blind trust.

Okay? You are very lucky.

She is a nice girl. The nicest.

The sweetest.

Okay, thank you. You can go back.

There! It's done.

I'm relieved.

Damn!

- This will do, right? - Yes.

- What do you think? - She's pretty.

But not very bright.

Excuse me?

- You know my sister? - Sorry?

- Do you know my sister? - Yes, a little.

I've been waiting for her. I'm her sister.

We're in the pub right at the corner, if you want to come.

- Pub? - Yeah, come on.

Okay.

So how many of you are in your family?

Seven. I'm the youngest.

And before me... Malika.

- Malika? - My sister.

Right.

Why are you here?

What the fuck!

What happened?

I'm fed up. He drives me mad.

- Did you quarrel with Dad? - As usual. You know him.

How did you get the travel money?

I just did.

- How? - Baby-sitting left and right.

Malika, can you get me a job?

In your agency?

- The estate agency. - No.

They always need help.

- I can't. - Your boss will hire me.

It won't work.

You're a school kid!

Let me live with you.

They won't let you.

Dad will never allow it. You know that. You're no dummy.

Can you do me big favor?

Depends.

I have an important meeting.

Can you take my sister to a film?

What kind of movies does your sister like?

Ask her.

Okay.

Why were you on my doorstep?

Hmm?

Do we go now?

Yes.

- Cool. - Thank you.

Let's go to the cinema.

So, you know, there's no one in this room...

Are you my sister's boyfriend?

- No. - Too bad.

Do you have a girlfriend?

- No. - Do you want one?

Is everything alright?

Yes.

I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me.

- Nothing serious? - No, no.

I don't feel very well.

It's the first time something like that happens to me.

But it's okay.

- I'm off. I'm in a hurry. - Okay.

- Okay. - Take your time.

Get some rest.

Thank you. That's nice.

- See you next week. - Yeah.

Gramps wanted to drive, but he was drunk.

He didn't have his license.

And at that time, the cops were searching for him.

Talk about being in a fix!

So my grandmother hid...

...behind the door to hide the keys to prevent Gramps from taking them.

And they...

They had a row, and we had to separate them.

Malika picked up the first thing she could and threw it at him.

It knocked him out.

What a mess!

We died laughing!

Wait, I was scared.

When you're scared, you're violent.

It's your turn to tell a childhood memory.

I don't have any.

I don't have any memories.

Anyway, it's time to go.

You give this to Mom.

Okay.

Study hard.

Sure.

When you're 18, you can come.

I'll wait for you.

Okay.

Anyway, I'll come see you.

Really?

I promise.

Off you go.

Be careful.

I'll miss you.

So what do you want to do now?

Let's try to have some fun.

We're lousy at having fun.

Do you know this game?

What game?

- Do you know? - Of course, I do.

Want to play?

Un, deux, three!

- One, two, three. - Two, three.

One more.

One, two...

Three.

Again.

One, two, three.

- Do you want a drink? - No.

Shit, I fell asleep.

I'll never go back to sleep.

Do you want to come up?

Yes.

Lola! Lola!

Come here, baby.

I don't have any alcohol.

How about hot chocolate?

Okay.

Thank you.

In French, what's the difference between a baiser and a bisou?

Um...

A bisou is...

friendly and on the cheek.

And a baiser...

is more for lovers,

on the mouth.

Show me.

Bisou.

Baiser.

I'm not quite sure I understand.

Show me again.

How do you have boyfriends in your line of work?

In my line of work?

I know what you do.

How so?

I know you're not an estate agent.

Are you a cop?

So, you're a cop?

No, I'm looking for this girl.

Get out.

She's a minor.

Whatever, get out.

I'm trying... I'm trying to find this girl.

Get out, okay?

Do you get that?

Do you get that?

Get out. Leave!

Lola.

Lola.

- Hello. - Hello.

Thirty-Six Upper Street, Electre Guichard. Okay?

Okay. Thank you.

- Be careful. Please. - It'll be fine.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

How are you, sweetie?

Shut up.

Do you know him?

No.

Need your fix, darling?

Talk nicely to her...

darling.

I'm okay.

I'm cold.

You're cold?

I'll turn on the heat.

It can't hurt.

I put a little heat for you.

Thank you.

Excuse me? No, this way.

How old are you?

How old are you?

Eighteen.

You should eat.

You'll be hungry afterwards.

Shit.

Stop it.

Come here.

Calm down.

Hey. Wake up. You need to prepare yourself.

- Can I stay with you? - No, no, no.

Go to dress.

Come on. Please.

I'm not your mother. Go to room!

- Don't scream. - Fast.

It is time.

Why you didn't wait for me?

Bad boys.

Come on, jump.

...get stuck inside.

I'm here.

Kiss each other.

Kiss each other. Kiss, kiss, kiss.

Kiss, kiss, kiss.

- Go on. - Ow.

Be nice, dad.

- Ow. - Hey, calm down.

Come, baby.

Ow. ow.

What are you doing?

- Ow! - Stop!

- Come on, dad! - Bad boy.

Calm down. I'm coming.

Hey, hey, calm down. I'm jealous.

I'm coming, okay?

- Okay. - Kiss daddy's belly.

Hey.

That's a little bit crazy.

Front... get the...

Hey. What are you doing?

Stop! Enough! Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Hey, stop!

Go!

I'll kill you, fucking little...

Come on.

Hey! Stop! Stop, girls! Stop! Stop!

I said stop!

I just wanna talk to you, alright?

Stop!

Quick!

Who are you?

Who are you?

A sort of priest.

I rescue girls like you.

Well, minors mainly.

Who pays?

Charities.

You must be kidding!

No. I'm going to drive Sofia home now.

Right now?

Can you drive? I'm falling asleep.

No.

Stop the car. I'm going to throw up.

I'll pull over then.

I'm screwed.

I'm screwed.

Sailing, sailing, over the bounding sea...

Over the bounding sea...

Sailing...

Let's see.

Yeah, I've got two rooms for you.

Let's get you into bed.

Sleep. It's okay. It's okay.

Don't cry.

I'll see if we can get a drink at the bar.

You all right?

You'll drive me to Electre's tomorrow.

I'll pick up my dog.

And I'll go see Raphäelle.

Everything will be fine.

Do you really think she is going to let you get away with it?

Do you want to start over like before?

Hmm.

Yes.

Exactly like before.

Before meeting you.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I can't sleep.

- Cigarette? - Thank you.

Come here.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. You're afraid.

Hello. Do you know where is the guy in room 27?

Has he left?

They left around six this morning.

The young lady was with him.

Everything has been paid for.

It is twenty past twelve, madam. It is time to check out.

Put this on.

What do you want to be when you're grown up?

I used to wanna be a writer.

What about you? What did you wanna do?

A girl.

Not a dog.

Just a girl, you know?

Yeah.

Don't stare!

I'll do as I want. You have no say about it.

I can pull over and clobber you.

You want me to?

You want me to?

Come on, move it!

Don't drag your feet.

Come on.

Admit it, you messed up.

Get in there!

Go get me a coffee, please.

Sit down.

You look awful.

I know.

Oh, you know?

You know you got me in trouble, too?

The old man's better, but you thrashed his son.

This is really bad. Do you see?

- Do you realize? - Yes.

I'm disappointed in you.

I never expected this from you.

Do you realize?

Do you realize this or not?

Was it the girl?

She couldn't bear the beatings.

We ran away. We walked and hitchhiked.

We found a hotel.

I fell asleep. When I woke, she was gone.

She was traumatized.

She's pretty, but too young.

What can I say? Men want younger and younger girls.

That's not the issue.

The thing is those blokes in the manor, especially the older one...

- And his son... - Yes, I know.

It won't happen again.

You'll have to go away on holiday.

You can't work looking like that.

Where to? Shall I arrange it?

No.

Go get some rest.

My birthday party's tonight.

Come tarted up! Cook will pick you up.

Come here.

Come over here.

Don't be childish.

I was very scared.

Come here.

I'm not a child anymore.

We're here, Sofia.

I'll be back in a minute.

Wow, you look terrible.

Plus, you're late.

You all right?

I'm all right.

My baby.

Is Rupert your boyfriend now?

No.

Oh, come on, you can tell me.

I said no.

You okay? You're being strange.

I'm all right.

I'll call you.

Hold on. I know you. I can see when things are wrong.

No, you don't know me.

What?

You don't know me.

I'm a whore. Did you know that?

He can't be my boyfriend. I'm a whore.

Yes, mate. Later.

The hotel confirmed the info.

The girls were with that bloke.

I'll settle it with them tonight.

You handle him.

- You okay? - No.

Later.

Did you glam up for me?

Thanks.

Don't look so sullen. Have fun. Mingle.

We'll talk about the guy at the hotel.

Have fun.

This is hardly a relaxing party.

We're working.

I can multitask. You can, too, right?

Who was the guy?

My boyfriend...

He's not in this business. I panicked and called him.

You should have called me.

I was scared.

You've got a boyfriend?

Since when? Is this recent?

Hmm.

He's not really my boyfriend. He's more like a friend.

You've got no room for a love life.

Hmm.

I know.

Especially a man like him.

He's not a friend.

What makes you happy?

- Me? - Mm-hm.

Everything.

Everything I own. Everything I've earned.

A nice life, the ease of things.

I've had a rough life, you know.

Like you, I guess.

If you work and don't screw up, you could have my job in a few years.

What do you think?

What's that snide look?

What's that snide look?

You're pissing me off. What is this?

Are you judging me?

You think you're superior?

Or you're stronger maybe?

Hey, Virginie, you'd be crap without me.

You know that?

All the money you made is thanks to me. You realize that?

Hey, little whore, lower your gaze now.

Lower your gaze!

Do as I say! Lower your gaze!

Lower your gaze now!

Do you hear me?

Lower your gaze!

Sorry! Sorry! Hey!

Clobber her!

Catch her and clobber her!

Virginie!

What are you doing?

I'm tired of running.

Virginie, help me!

Who the fuck are you?

Get the fuck out of here!

Malika, stop! Stop!

Don't call me that.

We don't know each other, okay?

I know you.

You don't.

Your money is as filthy as mine.

I'll miss you.

I know you.

For sure.

I'll miss you, too.

For sure.

- Take care of her. - Promise.

I'll come fetch her soon.

Okay.

...the final call for check-in.

Final call for check-in.

Welcome on board, sir. Take your seat on the left side.

Aren't you tired of rescuing whores?

I thought it was about time I saved myself.
