But in the evening and night,

we want you to stay inside, okay?

Most of you come here to have a better life, and I hope you will succeed.

However, I have to warn you.

You are vulnerable. You are an easy target.

There are bad people outside who wanna use you to make money.

They wanna use you in the sex industry as whores.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

I'm sorry, sir. We don't understand.

What kind of industry?

[Henk] There you go.

Thank you, sweetie.

- And what are your names? - My name is Charity, ma'am.

- [Madam] Charity. And you? - Happy.

[Madam] Happy. Okay.

Can I? I wanna take a look.

Can you come forward a little bit?

- Yes, ma'am. - [Madam] Okay.

Can you turn around for me?

Nice.

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

Can you give me a smile?

No, I wanna see the teeths.

Voilà. Beautiful.

Oi. What a nice color.

- Thank you, ma'am. - [Madam] Good.

And you.

Loosen up.

Come on. Good.

Can you turn around?

Nice.

Mmm, 'kay.

Give me a smile.

[Charity] Thank you, ma'am.

[Madam] Start your day with prayer,

and put God first.

Make sure you're always clean.

Look good. Take good care of your physique.

Put on nice perfumes.

No chewing of gums.

Your debt is 60,000 each.

Uh, how much per client?

[Madam] Twenty euro.

In one year, you'll be done with it.

That is, if you work well.

[Charity] Thank you, ma'am.

You lied to me.

Don't tell me you didn't know.

I know you're not stupid.

Don't worry. It's not a big deal.

I mean, you wanna earn money?

I asked you a question. You no wanna earn money?

- [Happy] Yes... - [Charity] Uh-huh. This the way.

- How do you think I raised you? - Do I care?

- I resent you. - [Charity chuckles] Let me tell you,

every girl in Nigeria does it.

- I'm not everybody! - It's not a big deal.

I will teach you what to do. It's not a big deal.

I'm not everybody. I want to go to school and become somebody.

I'm not like you, where they open legs for a man.

- I resent you. - [Charity scoffs] Okay.

Hey! What--

What do you think you do? Where do you think you go?

- Where do you think you go? - I don't want to do this job.

Are you mad?

You no get a choice. That woman, we come here,

we and her get deal, and we go do that deal.

Whether you like it or not.

And thank God she even did nice.

I'll put cream and make it like an afro.

[coughs]

As I told you, there's nothing to worry about.

It's a normal thing that everybody does.

So don't go lie about saying everybody don't.

Don't think too much, yeah?

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.

You just follow the man into the room, open your legs.

Let them have their way, and before you know it, it's over.

Yeah?

- You've never done before? - No.

- Never slept with a man before? - No.

Okay.

I'll give you, um-- I'll give you something for you to rub for there.

You rub on for your vagina.

It will make everything easy and smooth.

[Happy clicks tongue] Don't worry, I don't like that.

- I don't need it to use it. - You need it. If not, it will pain you.

[Charity scoffs]

Don't say no. Open your hand.

- Open your hand! - Did you use it?

[Charity] I'm a pro. Now open your hand.

[speaking foreign language]

On your area. Rub it.

Rub it on your vagina.

You know what a blow job is?

You know?

Okay, I show you. They put their penis into your mouth like this.

Hmm? Mmm, mmm.

You do it, do it, do it, they will cum.

- [Destiny] First time in Europe? - Mm-hmm.

[Destiny] You like it?

[Charity] We're here to work, so...

[Destiny] If I was you, I would take the white guys.

I like the white men.

Their dicks are not as strong as the black dicks.

- [Charity] Really? - Mmm.

You can take more than ten in one day. You won't feel it.

Their way is easy.

- They cum quickly. Eh? - Okay.

And the white guys, eh? They pay extra.

- [Charity] Oh? - Mm-hmm.

And you know, white men like us.

They like us of our skin.

And we are better and stronger than white women.

- [chuckles] - [Destiny] It's true.

They like it when we are strong, eh?

When we act wild.

- [laughs] Really? - Mm-hmm.

just as the moon will one day hurt the sun and occur as an eclipse.

But at the end, you'll grow, and maybe not.

If we say the animals prey on each other, who are we to trust?

We shall say our creator is the master of trust,

not our blood nor friends."

- You like it? - Wow!

- That's really deep. - Thank you.

- I love it. - Thank you.

I want to become a writer.

[Precious] Yeah, you should. You should.

Happy, I had a complaint from one of your clients.

That you did not cooperate well.

Now, what is it that worry you?

That they're crazy?

I invest so much on you and your sister.

See, your sister, she do work fine.

But you. You dare act like the whole world have come fall on your head.

Hey, don't play with me, now.

Your life is in my hands.

[Madam] What do you talk?

Nothing, ma'am.

- [Madam] Repeat what you just talk. - Nothing, ma'am.

Go now, leave my office.

Sorry, ma'am.

After the warning Madam gave us. Still you chat with a man.

We're not allowed to have boyfriends. Are you mad?

Why are you being stubborn?

Happy, I beg you.

If this woman catches you, she can do anything.

I won't be able to help you. I beg you in the name of God...

I can't do anything...

This man is a common cleaner. Not even a rich man.

She's not feeling fine.

I don't do business like this, eh?

Why don't you give her something like paracetamol,

or Panadol, or whatever?

So if she infects the clients?

What do you mean that she's gonna infect the clients?

Madam, it's just one day.

I think I will talk about that with you later.

Asa, where are you?

If you get this call, call me back.

Madam...

You don't see Happy?

I haven't seen her around here for a while.

I guessed.

Madam, I beg you, if you know where she is, tell me, I beg.

I never see her since Mon--

I have no idea.

Perhaps with her fucking shitty boyfriend.

Madam.

I beg in the name of God.

If--if you know anything, I beg,

Please, tell me, I beg--fuck.

- [Charity] Seen her? - [man] No, no, sorry.

[Charity] Yeah? You--sorry, sorry.

Have you seen her? No?

Hello?

- How are you? - Fine.

Please, have you seen my sister?

Happy is in the hospital.

[gasps] What happened?

She's hurt. She's okay, but she's hurt.

She's been beaten up.

Hmm.

Please, let's go.

Please, take me to her, please.

Please take me to her.

I think you know who did it, no?

What are you-- what are you talking about?

I know you know who did it.

Come on. Tell me.

Hmm?

Tell me who did it.

Come on, Charity.

Madam Dolores is a criminal.

We have to bring her to justice, so you need to testify.

Come on, I help you, you help me.

Gonna help me?

- Yeah? - Yeah.

All right.

Hi.

- Hey! - Hello. Hello!

- See, new people. - [woman 3] Hey, yeah.

[woman] Guess where they come from.

- Niger. - Niger.

[woman 3] Hey, there you go.

Pleased to meet you.

- Which state are you from? - Edo State.

- We Benin. - Nice to meet you.

So what are you girls doing here?

[chuckles] My sister.

They brought us here so that we testify.

About trafficking and our work.

They investigate...

So. [chuckles]

- What are you going to say? - What we're gonna say?

I'm going to make up a nice story, what do you expect?

- And then get out of here. - Exactly. Escape quickly.

And if you talk to your Madam boys from Niger,

they will finish your family, kill all of them.

How it works, is that after the trial,

you get deported straight away.

If they don't need you anymore,

they will put you on a plane.

Let me ask you...

Those policemen waiting outside, why you think they're there?

To protect us?

[all laughing]

I knew you would say that.

Where is she going? What's wrong with her?

[dog barking]

[footsteps approaching]

Let me put your eye drops.

Here?

[Happy sighs]

Move your head.

Oh, sorry. Sorry.

That's--sorry.

[Happy sighs]

I hope you slept well.

I know the beds are not always that good,

but you can ask for a new bed.

Have a seat.

I know it's not easy, but we will help you.

Okay?

I've invited John to join us this morning.

John is a priest.

That's Happy, and that's Charity.

He can undo the voodoo, the juju.

So you don't need to be afraid anymore.

No, we're not afraid, we're fine.

Thank you.

Are you sure you don't want some counseling?

Maybe it's hard for you to talk about all that happened to you?

No. You don't have to do this.

I can handle my own business myself.

[Johan] We can give you the support you need.

She just said no.

[Johan] Do you want Madam to be punished?

[both] Sure, we want her punished.

[Johan] Then you both have to testify.

[both] We'll see if we both testify.

So we can have a trial!

You mean you can have your trial!

So that we'll both disappear in your file?

- Two ladies with a sad smile? - I can ask for a residence.

- As a reward for our performance? - On humanitarian ground.

We will be humanitarian drowned.

We're doing this for you. We're trying to do good.

- Don't you want that, too? - No.

You are doing this for you. That's exactly the whole clue.

Nothing in it for us two, say, officer, "That's true."

You want these criminals set free?

At the end of the trial, where will you be?

At the airport, at terminal three?

Waving us goodbye, and let us free.

So that we carry it on, back to our misery.

I do something for you, you do something for me.

Think about your testimony.

[both] We will, officer, we will.

And by the way, my name is Kemi.

And my name is Asa, not Happy.

Fuckin' Madam Dolores. Who took this?

[Madam] Where are they?

Where is this stupid, nothing for good,

ungrateful woman?

I want my rent.

Pay me my rent.

Or you leave this building today.

And you, what are you doing here?

I don't see what you are doing with all this low class here.

Charity.

Where the hell have you been all this while?

Where have you been?

I want you and your sister to follow me to the office.

I said to the office! Am I not talking to you?

What the fuck is going on here?

You want to dare me? Madam Dolores?

Oh, you think you are big now.

You small ungrateful human being I raised up.

You dog, prostitute.
