Previously on Matrioshki ...

Clients 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.

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'?

Last night we had fifteen customers. Fifteen!

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

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

You 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.

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!

l haven't got very good news.

He does indeed have a lumbar spinal fracture.

Two vertebrae have been crushed, damaging the spinal cord.

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

What do you mean?

l'm sorry.

Hello, son.

How are you?

No better than yesterday.

Ray came by yesterday. - Yeah. For ten minutes.

Well? - Well what?

What did he say? - Nothing. What's he supposed to say?

He's got what he wanted now.

What d'you mean? - The 69. He's got it all to himself now.

That's what you wanted too, isn't it?

He phoned me last night. - Oh?

l don't know.

l've got nothing more to say to Ray. Nothing.

Three months later

Well well, look who's here.

Come on, let's go and sit somewhere else.

Take a seat.

Shoot. - Rudi, l may have a witness.

You're not working on that again!

l've come across a girl who managed to escape.

Does she want to press charges? - No, l don't think so.

But you could at least talk to her.

When things get serious, they back off. - You can hardly blame them.

Let her come here then. - That's a bit of a problem.

ls it?

She's probably in the country illegally.

Can't she testify anonymously?

Would she do that? - l don't know. Maybe ...

Maybe l can persuade her.

Does she know anything we could build a case with?

And what's in it for you?

More articles in that rag of yours? - l don't know.

You're not in love, are you? - No, of course not!

You wouldn't be the first one, you know!

Jan, 120 Euro? - Yeah.

For a whole evening? - l've had five phone calls. Five!

Two false alarms, the third one thought it was too expensive.

One guy wanted Kalinka but, surprise surprise, she wasn't in the mood.

And the fifth one only had enough money for half an hour.

Who'd you take? - Olga.

He won't be phoning again.

He said he could buy an inflatable doll for that money.

Sorry Ray, but we won't make any money with these tarts.

They don't like doin' it and the clients aren't happy.

The only one they sometimes phone back for is the redhead.

Apparently, she's very good at something.

Ask Eddy. - What? Eddy and that redhead?

Now and then she makes some extra cash in this office!

He'll be comin' out in boils again!

What are we gonna do?

l'd sell 'em all and go get some others.

We've never had such a godawful group before.

Have you seen Vincent lately? - He can go home the day after tomorrow.

Now all that shit'll start all over again. - You're safe up here, aren't you?

He can't get up the stairs by himself!

Very funny!

Do you know what his plans are?

ls he coming back to the 69? - Yeah, he said he is.

Good morning.

Good morning. - Hello, Eva.

Good afternoon!

Stop stuffin' your face for a moment.

Well! Hello!

Good afternoon to you, too.

Drop somethin' on the floor?

No you don't. Stay here, you.

Hey, what's going on? - We're gonna search the place.

No calls. - Oh yeah?

l've got the right to call my lawyer. - You've got the right to shut up!

Go and stand over there, scumbag.

Hey, take it easy, will ya! Fuckin' idiot!

Hey, take it easy! - Shut your face, you.

Deborah Pogodina?

Visa has expired. 15th September.

Olga Yuganova?

Where is she? - l'm not talking to you anymore.

lnga Pryakhina?

Take these two ladies with you and you bring that idiot.

Olga Yuganova? - Yuganova.

Same thing.

No no ... Over there you.

There you go. And keep your trap shut.

We brought in three Russian women. All three have a visa that has expired.

You'll have to hang naked from that pole yourself tonight!

Eighteen years old.

Don't you have a daughter of that age?

You could put her on stage in her birthday suit! How about that?

Or send her to the separe with a couple of drunk clients.

Where's your daughter at the moment? - Don't know.

What do you mean, you don't know? - At university, l think.

Right, we were in Vilnius. ln Lithuania.

You made those girls sign a contract there.

ln Greek.

Do you speak Greek, Mr Camps?

You've been asked a question! Do you speak Greek, yes or no?

No. - Why are the contracts in Greek?

They were translated. Everyone could ask questions.

Maybe Van Mechelen speaks Greek?

No, but we use a Greek impresario.

That's a big word ... l'm surprised you can get your gob round it.

Were all those girls of age? - Yes, of course.

What did you say, Camps?

Luna Leonova.

Looks like you've heard of her, right?

Was she of age when she was raped at your place?

l don't know what you're on about. - No!

l'm not saying another word without my lawyer here.

Send a car to pick up his daughter.

She's got nothing to do with this. - But she may talk without a lawyer.

We can always ask her if she knows what daddy does for a living, eh Camps?

Mr Stoefs? Come with me.

l'm telling them everything.

That's up to you. Remember, this is all one big show!

l've got nothing to lose. - Nothing to lose?

A month before you arrived,

two girls from my group escaped. They went to the police.

A bit later, they were found in a river. Without their heads.

What? - What l said.

They'd been chopped off. Know where they found those heads?

ln the freezer of the former bouncer of Studio 69.

l don't believe you. - Ask Esther.

That bouncer was her boyfriend. He'd just been fired.

And d'you think anyone was convicted?

ln Belgium everything is allowed. lt's worse here than in Russia.

l'm not telling the cops anything. Ray always finds out in the end.

He has friends everywhere.

What are you going to do? - None of your business.

Why were those passports in your desk drawer?

Don't know. - There's not a lot you do know, eh?

What do you do there anyway? - l take care of things.

See the girls have clean clothes, etc. - Sounds like a full-time job!

Arrange things with the cleaning lady. - Really?! ...

Was that what you were doing when we came into your office?

So, in a nutshell, you know nothing, you do nothing,

nothing's allowed and you can't do a thing.

Two kings.

Four kings and a ten.

Four kings and a jack.

Well done! Off you go! Can't play with no readies, eh granddad?

Bye, granddad!

Ray was asking about you. - He needn't worry.

l won't bother his floozie anymore.

What?

Willy Wonka's as dead as a dodo.

Do they know that for sure? - Wanna check for yourself, maybe?

You never know, eh Jan?

Christ! So you'll never be able to ... er ...

No.

Hello.

John.

What?

Yeah.

The cops raided the 69. They took Eddy and three girls with them.

What about Ray? - They can't get hold of him.

Oh, right ...

Oh, right ...

For Christ's sake ... Forget it. Keep her here.

Got you this time, buster! - Really?

Employing illegal immigrants, moonlighting,

prostitution of minors, grievous bodily harm ...

lt's gonna be a long list.

Let's hope you'll be able to remember it all.

Mum! This isn't what you think. Honestly!

Uncle Robertas ...

Come with me.

Wait here a moment.

Who was that man there, sitting next to you?

He's a friend. He often comes there.

More of an acquaintance, actually.

All we have to do there is dance.

Like lnesa?

They pay me well. l've already been able to save some money.

Everything is going OK. We have a cosy apartment.

How did you get here? - By coach.

Yes, but how did you find out the address?

The police came to our house. - The police?

They had arrested a man

who was rounding up girls in Vilnius to go to Belgium and Holland.

And? - They think ...

The police think that that man may have ...

Two days after you left Vilnius,

they found Kasandra. - Kasia?

How is Kasia? - She was dead.

First the bastards raped her, then they beat her to death.

And then they threw her in a skip at the cemetery. Like some dead dog.

But why? And why didn't you phone me?

She was dead. Why should we have called you?

The police didn't know who'd done it.

But now they think it was those men

who round up girls for the Belgians and the Dutch.

Why didn't you write to us? We were so worried.

l did write! - Sure.

Honestly!

Ling. The bill.

How long are you staying in Antwerp?

We're leaving first thing tomorrow. l have to work Monday.

When are you coming home? - My contract's finished in a year.

But maybe l can get away a few months earlier.

Another year ...

Here, take this. Go on. Buy something nice for yourself and the children.

Go on, Mum. - l don't want it.

Take care.

Give lvan a big kiss from me.

Goodbye, Uncle Robertas.

But why didn't they arrest those Lithuanian birds too?

Because they don't need a visa, Dumbo. - l didn't know that!

What d'you mean? The Russians' visa was in order.

Eddy takes care of that.

You tell him!

lt kind of slipped my mind. - 'Slipped your mind'?

l had no idea they'd expired. - What the hell were you thinking?

l have to do everything myself.

D'you know how much this'll cost? For three!

How about if we deduct it from your pay?

We haven't got that many birds, eh Eddy?

You knew the cops had it in for us!

ldiot.

Why did they search the place now? - Don't know.

There's a leak. Someone's talking to the cops.

So what have we got left now?

Those two Lithuanian icicles. Kalinka ...

Marleen and Nancy.

The whole of Antwerp's shagged them.

And Sita. - She'll only squeeze their sausage.

She won't fuck.

Can't we get some new ones?

l can't get hold of Arnas. l've tried calling him.

Arnas? Who's he? - Our contact in Lithuania.

l can ask the other clubs if they've got anyone goin' spare who can help us out.

'Anyone goin' spare'?

So it's come to this. We have to work with other people's cast-offs.

Kasia is dead. - What?

The bastards killed her.

What do you mean, 'killed her'? Who did?

Say, how did your mother get here?

What's wrong?

Kasandra. Don't pretend you don't know anything about it!

Kasandra, wasn't that your tall friend back in Vilnius,

the one who wouldn't come to Belgium?

They murdered her! - Murdered?

Did her mother say that?

The police came to my home. They have arrested that guy Arnas.

Arnas? - Yes, Arnas. Ray's good friend.

Honestly, l don't know anything about this!

l don't think Ray has anything to do with it.

You don't believe that, do you?

Come on, we'll go and ask him! He's upstairs.

Come on.

But who is out to get us then? And why now all of a sudden?

We still know a couple of cops, right? - Oh yeah? Who?

Clem's still suspended and they're probably gonna kick him out.

He's of no use to us anymore.

What?

Christ!

Calm down.

You always have to wait ages here. Everything happens so slowly.

Ray will find a solution!

He knows the big boss of the police.

Then why did they arrest him too?

They can do nothing to us! Honestly. - But our visas have expired!

That can be arranged just like that. Eddy takes care of it.

Don't believe him! He's just trying to stop us filing a complaint.

l haven't got my money with me!

Arseholes, let me go!

Home sweet home.

..., two, three. Christ, you weigh a ton!

l can't see Ray's car.

l'd at least expected him to be waiting for me with a big bunch of flowers.

Where's Ray? lsn't he coming to the party?

lsn't he glad l'm back or what?

Or is he too busy fuckin' that Russian bird of his?

Tweet, tweet, tweet.

And what are you going to do? - Who, me?

l'm gonna sit in the office with you. All day, every day.

You thought you'd finally got rid of me. You just wait!

Nothing's going to change.

We get ourselves some new girls and it's back to business as usual.

Go ahead, smash the place up!

Vincent, to us!

Good to have you home! - Yeah, l can hardly hold back my tears!
