Dirty Pretty Things Page #3

Be sure you make it|to New York.

I will make it to New York,|Okwe, thank you.

Best if you don't show up|until after five.

Most porters are gone by then.|Only ghosts left.

Showers are here. Water's|not too hot, but it runs.

Couch in my office|is pretty soft.

Oh, I forgot.

You don't sleep, do you?

My friend, welcome to my hotel.

Beautiful, isn't it?

And the other residents|are very... very quiet.

- It would only be until...|- Until the world improves.

Ca va?

Best truffles|I've ever seen in England.

Dug up fifteen hours ago|in Provence.

Came through|on the night train.

Shall we say L1000?

I'm in the wrong f***ing hotel.

L1000, Senor Juan.|What do you say?

OK. L1000.

But if I give you that price,|I need a favour.

There is a night porter.|African.

He came from you so I guess|he came through Amsterdam.

Yes. What about him?

He is some kind of doctor.|What kind of doctor?

I need to know|what there is to know.

Police! Police!

Can I help you, gentlemen?

We're looking for someone|called Senay Gelik.

- She might be working here.|- Do you see anybody here?

If you see her,

give us a call.

You have been here|for two days,

and already, because of you,|I'm in trouble.

Maybe I should call|lmmigration.

Should I call them?

You wouldn't do that.

I need a good reason.|What can you give me?

If they find out you've been|working, what will they do?

They will put you in prison.

And here,|they mix the men and women.

So,|every night you will be raped.

If you want to be|like a Western girl,

that's what happens|to Western girls.

If you want to go to jail,|fine.

If you can't give me|a good reason,

I will call the lmmigration.

I'm a good man, Senay.

I know where to draw the line.

I don't want|to take your virginity, Senay.

I just want you|to help me to relax.

You have|such a beautiful mouth, Senay.

Achtung! Achtung!

My ladies and gentlemen,|your coach awaits!

Bitte. Bitteschon.

But you must take your own|luggage to the coach.

I will help only those who|cannot carry their own bags.

Okwe, get up here.

- This man is a doctor.|- I'm OK, I'm OK.

She's OK. She only needs|to rest a minute.

He qualified in Lagos.

He worked for|the Nigerian government.

His name is|Dr Olusegun Olatokumbo Fadipe.

We must hurry|or we'll miss the coach.

In the end, I find out all|about everyone in this place.

Here, take a look at this.

French. It's a work of art.

Lebanese guys I use,|who are the best in London.

All you do|is give them a photograph.

I have no idea what you are|talking about, Senor Juan.

If you were just some African,|the deal would be simple.

You give me your kidney,|I give you a new identity.

I sell the kidney|for ten grand, so I'm happy.

The person who needs|the kidney gets cured.

So, he's happy.

The person who sold his kidney

gets to stay in this beautiful|country, so he's happy.

My whole business|is based on happiness.

But for you, Dr Olusegun|Olatokumbo Fadipe,

I've a better idea.

I do not want to get involved,|Senor Juan.

Each time you operate,|you get three thousand.

A passport for you,|and one for Senay.

Take her on honeymoon.

I do not want to get involved.

You could even|go back to Africa.

And no-one would know|who the f*** you are.

Your choice. No rush.

I just wanted to put a little|wasp in your head.

Unusual.

Chinese guy with no family.

Maybe he's from|the back of a truck.

I cut off his buttons|so his spirit can escape.

I'm sewing up his pockets

so he can't take his bad luck|with him to the spirit world.

If he's an atheist,

I'm ruining a suit|no-one will ever see.

If he's a Buddhist, I'm giving|him eternal happiness,

for the price|of a piece of thread.

I have found out|why the heart was at the room.

They are removing kidneys.

One of their patients|died at their hands.

Another I treated|for a staphylococcal infection.

You're treating people?|I hope you charge.

Did you hear what I said?

There is nothing so dangerous|as a virtuous man.

Okwe, if you're so concerned,|you should go to the police.

Get yourself deported.

You think if it were just for|deportation I would not do it?

I'm a wanted man, Guo Yi.

Wanted for what?

Okwe, you didn't know|people sold their organs?

- Not here.|- What do you mean, "here"?

Here in London,|you think it doesn't happen

because the Queen|doesn't approve?

I heard in London|it's ten grand for a kidney.

For that, people take risks.

If I had the courage,|I'd sell my kidney.

Just to get out of here.

Just to save my brain.

The problem|with always being on time

is that you can|always be tracked down.

What do you think of the girl?

She's my next customer.

Eight years old.|She's called Rima.

Her family|brought her over from Saudi,

hoping for a miracle.

If she doesn't get a new kidney|in the next few weeks,

she's going to die.

The doctor we use is no good.

If he fucks up again,

there'll be another heart|down the lavatory.

Okwe, you still there?

So, I'm an evil man, right?

But I'm trying|to save her life.

That's weird, huh?

Kind of thing|that keeps you awake at night.

Tonight,|London is colder than Moscow.

I heard it on the radio.

Okwe... it is a crazy idea.

But we really can do it.

You said you liked New York.

But if not New York,|then maybe Boston.

Or Los Angeles.

I'm going there, Okwe.|What do you think?

And Okwe,|you could go there, too.

Are you OK?|Senay, where are you?

What has happened?

I knocked|but you did not hear me.

Are you OK? What has happened?

The factory does not suit me.

My hands are too soft.|I cut my fingers.

So...

I have decided|to go to America.

For America you would need|a visa, Senay.

Or maybe a European passport.

- Keep away from Senor Juan!|- It's like taking out a tooth.

He's lying!

Because you are poor, you will|be gutted like an animal.

They will cut you here,|or they will cut you here!

They will leave you to rot.

One of the laundry girls|did it, and now she's free.

Others are dead, Senay.

So, they are free, too.

What would your God say?

My God does not speak to me|any more.

Don't break. Save money.

Keep New York in your head|and work hard.

You know what kind of work|I do?

Lunch!

Aargh!

Okwe, somebody in|the back room looking for you.

She look like a film star, boy.

Look, Okwe, I know for sure|that this coat costs L300.

- This dress...|- Tell me what has happened.

We can sell the coat for L200.

Senay, where did you get these?

I bit, Okwe.

At the factory.

He said he would report me|to lmmigration,

and he made me suck.

But today, I bit.

I bit.

I bit!

Senor Juan sometimes has rooms|in the hotel.

- No, Senay.|- Just for tonight.

No.

Through there is hot water|and a shower.

Hurry, Senay.

What is this place, Okwe?

It is a place|where you can stay for tonight.

So cold.

If anyone comes,|you are a friend of Guo Yi.

Tomorrow we will find you|somewhere to live.

So... it is in there.

I can hear it.

Your heart.

Hello. Room Service.

Buenos dias... Negro.

Come on. Come on.

She's nil by mouth|the whole day.
