Previously on Matrioshki ...

Son ...

l'm getting out.

Getting out?

What will you do with the 69? - l've talked to Ray.

The building will still belong to us.

But he'll run the business.

And what about me?

You can carry on working there, same as now.

l've got to work for Ray, Dad?

l can sell that Eva.

For how much? - 1 1 ,000.

Go for it! - Sounds like a fair price.

She's a pain in the arse. - By the way ...

Did you agree that she doesn't have to be an escort anymore?

ls she allowed to get away with more than the others?

Says who?

So we can just book her? - Yes.

Well, which is it?

l've had a visit from a bailiff.

Luna Leonova. She seems to have been in hospital for three months now.

At our expense.

She has no medical insurance.

Have you any idea what that costs?

Luna.

Luna. lt's me.

Luna, please.

Forgive me.

You have to make a wish now! - OK.

l wish that Luna will get better soon.

Didn't you go to see her, yesterday?

Yes. But she was asleep. l couldn't wake her up, could l?

No, but how was she? How much longer will she have to stay there?

l don't know. l didn't have the chance to talk to her.

Mmmm, delicious.

Will you ask Ray if we could all visit Luna for my birthday?

You don't mean today, do you? - Why not?

Come on, Kalinka. You can do that, can't you?

Well, yeah ... - We'll take her a piece of cake!

She can't be ...

Customers want to see a bit of a show.

Who wants to come and see some Russian bimbos hanging off a pole?

My dad just doesn't understand.

We used to have different girls every month. How long have we had these?

Come on, let's be honest, the two of us, you and me,

do we really need Ray?

'Need' him ...

What d'you mean by need?

Listen ...

l know very well you've been screwin' us around.

What? When you sold that skinny rake to that plumber,

did you really think l didn't know? Huh?

And as long as you don't overdo it, l won't say a word.

But when it comes to the crunch, l hope you'll know whose side to choose.

l don't want to strip today.

They won't close the club tonight just because Luna's dead.

l'm working today. l've hardly made any money this week.

l don't know.

What's the matter with you lately?

Don't you care about anything?

No. l want to make money.

Well?

Oh no?

What?

What did you say?

Stay here then. There, now you don't have to strip anymore.

Hello, son.

You must be Eva.

Eva speaks English.

That's what l mean, son.

Come on, Dad. - lt's the truth, son.

l never thought it would come to this.

What do you mean by that? - Do l really need to explain?

How low can you sink, son?

He's a dangerous lunatic! - What does he want?

He wants you out! He wants to run the place!

He even claimed l'd been fleecin' you guys!

You wouldn't dare, eh?

You're kidding, right?

Bloody hell. Now what?

She wouldn't strip!

Was it really necessary? Look! She can't work like that!

l tried talking to her but she wouldn't listen. So l had to slap her a bit.

Had to ...

This is gonna cost us. Use your head!

Poor thing!

You fuckin' bastard! You stupid bloody idiot!

Right ...

You pig! - lt's fuckin' broken!

For Christ's sake! Aren't we in enough shit?

Get Danny to take her to hospital.

Go on!

ls Daria back yet? - No, not yet.

They've been sitting there all night drinking beer.

l only had one client in the separe and he wouldn't pay extra.

l made no money at all.

Me neither. l made 10 Euro stripping. l want to go to bed.

By the way, where is Deborah?

l saw her coming out of your room.

Out of our room?

l saw her coming out of the VlP with some old guy.

She isn't very choosy lately. - Just as long as they pay.

Yesterday she was with this really sleazy guy. He stank of sour milk. Bah!

Yeah! l saw that too! He was horrible!

She didn't think it a problem. Hold your nose, legs apart, let the money roll in!

l never should have left her alone with that monster.

How long have you been working for us?

Ten, eleven years? - Something like that.

Do you think it's right that, after all these years,

you have to go back to driving those bitches around?

No, it's not right!

By the way, fuckin' nice duck, pal!

Ray doesn't show respect!

Business is slow in the 69 and it's his fault! The only clients are old farts.

We have to turn the 69 into a club, a sex club. And put on shows.

A gang bang, that's what draws the crowds these days.

Have you discussed this with your dad?

OK, here's the deal.

l get Ray kicked out, along with that loser Eddy.

And then l make you the manager.

What d'you think of that? - What'd the dough be like?

What d'you mean, the dough?

lt'd be a lot more than you get now, playing cab driver, pal!

Come in.

Mr Wilson.

Take a seat.

Listen, you tried her out first.

So don't come and tell me that we sold you a pig in a poke.

No, of course not. - So what's your problem then?

She's not in love with me. - Not in love.

Well!

You have to give these things time, Mr Wilson.

Can l have part of my deposit back?

Mr Wilson, we're businessmen. lf we start that, we can shut up shop!

You still owe me 9,375 Euro.

What if l let you keep the deposit ...

We still lose money. You must realise that.

Would you like another one maybe?

l've got a little blond one, from Lithuania.

Friendly, nice pair of knockers, firm bottom ... A good girl.

This is Mr Wilson, who was going to take over our contract with Eva.

Raymond Van Mechelen.

But now he wants to give her back. - What's the problem?

She's not in love with him.

Want another one?

Give him the redhead.

l think she's just your type, mister.

Full amount been paid? - Just a deposit.

That's not the way we work around here!

Where is she now? Eva? - At my place.

And what if she runs off?

Eva?

Eva!

Give me a couple of days. - No, no. Not a good idea.

Pay up now! Besides ...

You'll get your money back soon, anyway.

l haven't got that much money.

Ah? And if Eva hadn't ran off, how were you planning to pay us?

You probably don't realize,

but you're very lucky you're dealing with me and not one of my colleagues.

Otherwise you'd be on your knees by now, lookin' for your teeth.

But l believe in dialogue.

l'll be back tonight. At seven.

And by then you'll have 10,000 Euro for me. ln cash.

10,000? - The balance of 9,375

plus some interest for me. For driving over here.

Or did you expect me to work for free?

How are you doing?

lt's just fractured, not completely broken. And l have mild concussion.

l've got to rest for a week. Get as much sleep as possible, avoid noise.

lt gives me a headache.

Do you want something to drink?

Have you eaten yet? - No. l bring everything back up.

l'm sorry, Daria. For not staying with you yesterday in the dressing room.

Honestly.

We would both have got beaten up then.

l have to pay for everything myself: the hospital, the doctor.

We're not insured here. - What did you say?

Danny advanced me the money. Almost 150 Euro.

That's not possible! All my money's gone!

What? - Look!

You don't think l ...

Everything l'd saved was in there.

You were in our room yesterday. - How do you know?

Olga saw you come out.

She's lying. - You're not serious!

Daria's money has disappeared. - What are you saying?

Have you been in our room or not? - Are you deaf or what?

Deborah, l saw you come out. You saw me too.

That's not true! - You stole her money.

See that door? Get out! - All her savings are gone.

How could you? - Didn't you hear me?

What were you doing in our room then? - l was never in your room. Get out!

Think l don't dare? - Deborah, no!

Shut up! lt wouldn't be the first time!

Those Russian bitches are ripping us off, right under your nose!

How would you know? Got any proof? You're never there!

Enough to know we're being ripped off!

He's talking out of his arse. - Talking out of my arse?

Kalinka, her with the attitude, lives with him now.

She's out of control. She does exactly as she pleases.

And all that is just fine by him!

Did you shack up with her? - Of course not.

Like hell he didn't!

Last night we had fifteen customers. Fifteen!

ls that my fault? - Fuckin' right it's your fault!

This week was extremely bad.

We had a police car with two cops out front for days! What d'you expect?

You just don't know how to run things! Just admit it!

That's enough.

We've been over this before, Vincent. Ray is in charge of the 69, end of story.

You'll see where that gets you.

Just wait!

Goodbye, Dad.

John, things are getting really difficult with Vincent.

What do you want me to do?

Throw him out, or what?

That's not what l mean. - He's still my son, OK!

My only son.

Did you take money from Daria? - Are you calling me a thief?

Were you in their room yesterday? - That's none of your business.

How can you do something like that? To a friend?

Daria is no friend of mine. - Those were her entire savings!

You can prove nothing. Nothing! - Prove nothing? She doesn't even deny it.

You've got exactly one hour to give Daria's money back and apologize.

Or l'll see you get kicked out. Without a cent.

Now l'm scared!

l wouldn't try it if l were you ...

She's mad!

Mr Wilson.

l've got 5,000. - That's only half.

l can give you the rest next week. - That's not good enough.

We had an agreement. You and me. You had until seven o'clock.

And what time is it now? Seven o'clock.

l haven't heard anything from Eva.

They're all whores, mister.

How are we going to solve this?

Give me a few more days.

Got any friends or family you can borrow some money from?

No. - Are you sure?

Are you really sure?

Hi. - Hello, Dad.

Hello, sir.

lt's not really a loan as such.

We have made a legitimate business agreement with your son

and payment is overdue.

So there's a contract? ln that case, l'd like to see it first.

Just give him a cheque, Dad. l'll explain everything later.

No, Willem. l want to damn well know what's going on here.

Go on, just give us the 5,000 Euro and you can explain it all later.

No way. And now get out, before l call the police.

l wouldn't do that, Dad.

Oops.

We're wasting time.

Wim, has this got anything to do with that Eva?

Who's Eva?

OK. l'll get a cheque.

l'll go with you then. Just so you don't get lost along the way.

Don't let your soup get cold, missus.

Stay here!

Oops ...

Esther, you know l won't stand for that!

We warned you about this.

Everyone does it here. - That's not true!

Those Russians do just as they like!

You were kicked out because of dishonesty,

so you shacked up with Mike in his caravan.

And who got you out of that mess? That's right, we did!

You've only been back three months and you're at it again!

What do you expect?

Did he pay up? - Yeah.

Ah, she's whining already.

What should we fuckin' do with you?

Ask Jan to frisk you every time after you've been with a client?

As if Jan is so bloody honest.

lt's always someone else! You were the one pocketing money!

But l make next to nothing here! l can't compete with those Russians.

One of 'em even does it without a condom!

And who's that? - The redhead.

l heard it from two clients.

ls that a good reason to con us?

Yes?

Yes.

Something's happened to Kalinka. She's in the VlP.

Bloody hell!

Shit!

Did you have to do this? - What? The bitch is nuts!

She almost fuckin' bit my dick off!

Have you gone completely mad? Look at her!

l should've smashed her fuckin' skull in!

Get out of here! - Come again?

Get the fuck out of here! - l don't take orders from you, tosser!

Come on, Vincent, get up.

Vincent.

Don't be ridiculous. Get up.

Get up.

Damn. Pick up, will you.

Eddy, it's me. Call me back as soon as you can.

Uncle?

Shit.

Uncle, it's me. Could you call me back, please?

Talk to you then.

John. - John.

lt was a stupid accident.

He fell on his back and ... he couldn't get up anymore.

l wasn't there. l was downstairs, on the door.

Where is Ray? - He's still at the 69.

There wasn't enough room in the ambulance.

l tried to call you straight away, but you didn't answer.

Do they know anything yet? - No.

We've been waiting here at least two hours.

He tripped and fell and hit his back on the corner of a coffee table.

Tripped and fell and hit his back?

Who of you are family? - l'm his father.

Pleased to meet you. Dr Van Looy.

Maybe it would be better if we ...

l haven't got very good news.

He does indeed have a lumbar spinal fracture.

Two vertebrae have been crushed, damaging the spinal cord.

A number of nerve paths have been interrupted

and it's via these paths that communication occurs

between the brains, organs, muscles, etc.

That means that your son will probably never be able to walk again.

What do you mean?

l'm sorry.

And there's no chance that ... - No.

Can l see him? - He's still under sedation.

We'll take him to lntensive Care. l don't think there's much you can do now.

Try not to worry.

He'll never walk again.

What?

Well?

Go home, darlin'. The cleaning lady will take care of the rest in the morning.

Done the accounts? - Yes.

Leave them here. l'll take them to the office later.

See you tomorrow.

Well ...

Now what?

You shouldn't have pushed him, Ray.

What is that supposed to mean?

Those skirts work for us.

We shouldn't start fighting amongst ourselves if one ...

lf one almost gets beaten to a pulp. ls that what you're trying to say?

She almost bit his dick off, Ray.

He could've kept his dick in his trousers. - True ...

lt was an accident, Eddy.

Ray didn't push him on purpose. - l didn't say that.

What are you saying then?
