I think you have a shooting.

Why, why is that funny?

Oh.

I don't work. Nadya and I.

We don't know yet.

I know, I don't work.

Why?

I don't know why.

You feel you don't work?

I don't work in this week, next week.

Nadya doesn't work this week and next week.

Why?

I don't know.

This is your feeling.

This is not the reality,

because we don't know.

Still every day you're

doing castings, right?

Yeah.

But this week we know no job.

No job.

And then next week, casting, casting.

Casting, casting, no job.

But maybe the next week you have a job.

I don't know.

All right.

Nadya.

OK.

What I wanted out of life was...

...I want my own security.

When I go back and read

a lot of my writings,

a lot of the times I've been

modelling I feel really scared.

I obsess about money

and I just have to chill out.

I don't know.

Sometimes I think I'm not

being professional, you know.

There's a lot of things that I've done

that are bad in the business,

but I always try to play it off

like I'm so good.

Maybe I'm not really that good at all.

It's just growing.

It's producing. It's very active, you know.

It's just doing its own thing.

I mean, I would be happy

to be four months pregnant

with a healthy thing, but this is

just something that's growing

for no reason, that eventually

will have to be taken out.

One's here,

and one's here.

They said it's right at the top.

They just open it and

there it is, sitting right there.

So...

One is a fibroid, and one is a cyst.

But hopefully it will be

all right in ten days from now...

...when I get operated on by a robot.

Thank you so much.

I have diaries, probably more videotapes.

This is the truest evidence.

All the girls just want

to get out, so they try.

They can be athletes, they can be gymnasts,

they can be ballerinas, they can be models,

they can be prostitutes.

Most of the time,

they do a combination of both,

I mean, often, yeah.

They do.

There are certain agencies,

high-class agencies that will

help facilitate, and especially

ones if you have the experience

of making money and you are a model,

you only know how to make money as a model.

If you're not making money

as a model, you just know you're

a beautiful girl who uses her body,

so it's kind of natural to think,

"Well, I sell my body for the camera.

What's the difference?"

You know the DVDs I gave you,

and you could see, sometimes,

the girl presented herself in a certain way

at the castings in Russia.

Sometimes it was clearly like

she was presenting herself as a sex object.

Sometimes she was just a young girl.

I mean, those tapes are widely distributed.

And, of course, the goal is

that they get placed at modelling

agencies, but the reality is...

...that they get placed other places, too.

And I don't have first hand

experience of these things.

I mean, I'm not, obviously,

participating in this, so...

It's just normal to be a prostitute.

For them, you know.

Maybe it's easier than being a model.

I don't know.

I mean, in a lot of countries,

prostitution is not considered

a terrible thing.

Erm...

I don't really acknowledge that it exists.

I don't understand how new girls

like Nadya and Madlen can make you money,

can make Tigran money,

can make Ashley money.

If they don't make money,

why do you bring them in?

Here is some literature

just on the procedure you had.

This is very broad,

and it's not truly specific

to exactly what you had done.

You want to make sure you continue

to eat well, but things to look out

for that you would need to call your

doctor is if you notice any separation.

So it sometimes takes a little while

for the body to process

all that you've received.

- OK, so I'll be right back.

- OK.

It's painful to cough.

It's a small incision.

The fibroid they had to cut

in 20 pieces to take it out.

They thought it was ten centimetres,

but it was actually 15.

A baby's head, like, that big,

that came out of me.

And then another one, this one.

This thing.

So disgusting. Oh, my God.

This is the cyst.

This is blonde hair. They've never

seen one with so much blonde hair.

My egg, splitting on its own.

They said I could have a baby

in six months.

I mean, I want a baby,

because that's what I'm born to do.

I mean, I'm born with these organs.

I want a little bit of everything,

but I do want a baby.

Hopefully that could travel

with me to Russia.

So when I go to have a baby, I'll,

like, decide which date and then

just go and have the same operation

that I just had, basically.

OK.

Which girls, particularly,

are you looking for?

For my market, which is Japan,

we are quite specific,

so we like young girls,

fresh girls, new faces.

The girls that I see today,

the chances are I will book some of them.

They should expect to work

very hard in Japan,

but it's a very safe place,

and every model has success in Japan.

Unlike other markets,

where they might go into debt,

they never do in Japan.

They only win.

Very good.

Oh, she's cute.

Hello.

Hello.

Do you speak English?

Yes.

Yes, you do?

A little English?

Yes.

She's so cute.

Yes.

Maria.

Can you introduce yourself?

# My name is Maria, Maria. #

My name is Maria.

And you are 13 years old?

Your age is 13?

Beautiful.

Can you put your hair back?

You're so cute!

Do you think she'll grow a little bit?

She'll grow, right? She's 13.

Yes, for sure.
