Dirty Pretty Things Page #2

Hello. Front Desk.

No, I'm afraid the kitchen|is closed from midnight.

Tssk!

Hello?

Yeah, Room Service.

Sneaky doesn't know about this?

Sneaky knows about everything.

And you? You know everything|that goes on in the hotel?

No, no,|not so much butter, hey.

You guard the door, lvan.|You see who comes and goes.

You would know if somebody|came into the hotel,

and did not leave again?

Why would someone not leave,|Okwe?

I don't know.

You should remove the crusts,|like in the Ritz.

Everyone leaves, Okwe.

Some leave quickly.

Some stay for a long time.

If you want to stay,

don't concern yourself with|who comes and who goes.

It's the little touches|that make the difference.

That's capitalism.

Now go. Don't forget,|you accept only cash.

Room Service.

Thanks.

OK, you just make yourself|comfortable, and er...

I'll go and freshen up.|All right?

F***ing arsehole!

Come on, babe. Hurry up.

OK, OK.

Calm yourself, sweetheart.

- What are you doing?|- Have a drink first.

You look fine.|Just get out here.

Stop!

Enough. No more.

Where the f***|did you come from?

You, leave now.

- You don't have concussion.|- How the f*** do you know?

Christ, you must be bored,

getting your kicks|spying on me.

I was making sure the blockage|had not returned.

Perhaps...

- It's Juliette.|- You should go home and rest.

Rest?|Got three more before morning.

So...

Have you ever seen a lion?

Oh, yes.

On TV.

I had it cut. It is yours.

You were right.|This way is more sensible.

Okwe, you must not tell them|at the hotel

that you have a key.

- I tell them only the truth.|- Even so.

Show them that your back hurts,

so they know|you sleep on the floor.

But that is not true.|I sleep on the couch.

The couch is not as real|as the floor, Okwe.

Believe me, I am a woman.

And some of those b*tches|won't know what is a couch.

But they know floor.|They clean floors.

For you?

Lmmigration Enforcement|directive!

Open the door.

Miss Gelik?

Senay Gelik?|Turkish national?

Do you have your SAL handy?

Standard Acknowledgement|Letter. Your ID.

Oh, yeah, yeah.|I carry it always.

Neighbours, Senay.|They see things.

In the last few days they've|seen someone come and go.

A man.

Sometimes a woman in your position|can be exploited.

There are people living in|London without any papers.

- They prey on people like you.|- Pray?

- There is someone here.|- There is no-one here.

You are aware your ELR status|means you are unable to accept rent.

You are seeking asylum.

Or engage in employment of any|kind for at least six months.

- You're not working, are you?|- Mind if I use your bathroom?

Your case is under review.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Is that all you want?

No, no, no.

You know this stuff will not|only keep you awake.

It'll blow your brains out.|You know that, don't you?

- Hey, Okwe!|- Boy, your licence.

Keys, there you are.

Hey, Okwe, what happen, man?

Hey, somebody's husband|come home early, right?

Anyway, take this.

We don't want the doctor|getting sick, right?

I played them|one of these fellas' songs,

and, actually,|they were very helpful.

It's bound to happen.

You stay here too long.

You start dressing|like an Englishman.

- Where is he, then?|- Who?

I've a date.|Every pay-day, 4:45.

Hey!

Come on, lover boy!

Okwe, will you help me?

Hey, guy before you took L5,|huh?

- No, no, no, no.|- But you watch the door, huh?

Come, my little princess.

Come, come, come,|lille princesso!

Security room is out of bounds|for half an hour.

Five minutes, max!

Lmmigration Enforcement|directive.

Can I help you?

What time|do the maids clock in?

- Wakey wakey!|- Five o'clock.

Do you mind if we wait?

No.

Excuse me, sir.|This is a non-smoking area.

If you wish to smoke, you can|wait in the designated area.

It's for you.

Hello? Okwe?

But I am almost there.

Senay will be here|in two minutes.

You must stop her.

I have a medical condition!

Lightning doesn't strike twice!

- Is that the last of them?|- Yes.

This is an interesting place.

Would you like to see|a rate card?

I have a friend.

In her factory,|they always need people.

It's a sweatshop.

Is it any worse|than cleaning up after whores?

It's better money.

Oh, you are so sad for me.

I do not wish to cause harm|to anyone.

That is all it is?

I will collect my things|and go.

- Go?|- How can I stay?

Okwe, who will cook for me?

If it's OK, I will call on you|if I have the time.

But I'm owed three days' money|by the hotel.

I will see Senor Juan|tomorrow morning.

I have no money for food.

I will see him today.|Meet me at the cafe at four.

You are here to see Senor Juan?

Looking for work?

Vous travaillez?

- Francais?|- No, no, no.

M'aidez.

Yoruba? You speak Yoruba?

Bantu?

What the f***|are you doing here, Okwe?

Senay has decided to leave.

She asked me to collect|what she's owed.

Oh, yeah? What, are you|marrying her or something?

I'll get her money.

No, no. It's OK, it's OK.|I'm a doctor.

I'm a doctor, it's OK.

No, please, please...

Please.

You must get this man|to hospital now. Right now!

- He must go straight away.|- No, no.

If you are a doctor,|you can help this guy.

This is the wound|of an operation.

Where? Where did he have this|operation? Which country?

You must get this man|to hospital.

- They won't go to hospital.|- No, no, no, no hospital.

Guo Yi is here?

Sh*t.

It's my first day. I was told|to collect my green overall.

- Which shift are you on?|- Which shift?

Come on. Either you're late|or you're really late.

You couldn't do the bins|in the kitchen, could you?

OK...

You see these blue tablets?

He must take two every|two hours. You understand?

He must take two blue tablets|every two hours.

You speak English?

- And Somali?|- A bit.

He says to say thank you.|God is great.

Tell him he must take two|blue tablets every two hours.

And one white tablet|every six hours.

It is very important that|you get this exactly right.

Ask him|which hospital they went to

to have the kidney removed.

He says they didn't go to a hospital.

Ask him where they did this.

In a room.

He had his kidney removed|in the hotel, yes?

How much did he get|for risking his life?

He is English now.

He swapped his insides|for a passport?

The man at the hotel said it would be|like taking out a tooth.

Can I get you something?

- I've been here one hour.|- An hour and a half.

There.

I will go|and collect my things.

Why won't you sit down?

- Okwe, where have you been?|- Africa.

I thought you weren't coming.

I would have got you the money|somehow.

The money?

Do you feel that?|Do you feel anything?

I counted. I've seen you|laugh three times.

Four.

You think I'm so innocent.

In my village,|they chew those leaves

to forget|how hard their lives are.

I use it to keep awake.

You know it makes you look...

You should keep away from me.

You lost your job.

Because of me,|you are in a sweatshop.

And now you are going again.
