Hope Lost Page #3

She confessed quite

a bit about...

About everyone,

didn't you, Sofia?

MANOL:

I can only imagine.

These things seem to happen.

Over there.

Are you hungry?

Please. Yes?

Actually, no.

You deserve the most.

Scusa.

Considering your condition,

right?

Come on.

Look what else I found.

See? You don't hide things

from me. It's not right.

You're more expensive

than I thought.

You're getting

more expensive every day.

Did you know that Frank Sinatra

used to roll up his money

Just like that?

I need it.

For the abortion.

(Vacuum whirring)

No, no, no. Stop it!

It's too much!

Stop it, please! Please!

Fabian.

That's okay. Stop it.

I grew up Catholic.

We do not believe in abortion.

I think the life starts as soon

as the sperm enters the egg.

It's growing.

We should honor that life.

It's a gift from god.

Go. Go see your friend.

You'll take care of this baby?

No one's going to hurt

this child, I promise.

But will you take care of it?

Good.

Come.

Do you have any idea

How much a healthy baby is worth

on the black market?

(Laughing)

Go.

Ai-yi-yi...

I mean, we're talking about

a lot of money.

How much is it?

300,000. Maybe even 400.

It's gonna be okay,

believe me.

The last one we shot was skanky

whores, disgusting pigs.

Heroin addicts with

one tooth in their head.

I love them all, trust me.

This time the client,

they want classy.

So let's give them classy.

This is the duke.

He handles all my logistics.

Flash. He takes care of

treatment and disposal.

And this... this is Thomas.

The great professor.

He handles all my affairs

when I'm away.

You going someplace?

I gotta go up north

and handle some business.

Don't worry about it.

You're in good hands,

With professore.

Come.

Let's sort your business.

All right, we're all set.

We got the actors.

Everything's nice.

All we need is a director.

How come we don't

have a director.

Ah, we had one, but there was

a little controversy.

Little problem, so...

we had to let him go.

(Laughing)

I mean, like, let him go.

I know just the guy.

I'll give him a call.

Beautiful.

Listen... maybe they are

keeping us here,

Because they want to

sell us to another boss.

It can happen.

Okay, when?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow afternoon.

No. No, no, no.

Now. Let's get it done.

Okay. Let's get it done.

Okay.

(Speaking in foreign language)

Hey, did you

order the pizza?

Yeah.

All right, well go keep

an eye for it, will ya?

Goddamn thing.

(Laughing)

Watch it, you didn't

see it coming over here.

Boom!

If he has a left-handed

girlfriend, he's f***ed.

(Laughing)

(Muffled screaming)

Shh! Quiet!

Or they'll kill us all.

Who are you?

They want to kill you,

so I'll get you out of here.

What the f*** is going...

(Grunting)

Grab something.

We have to get out of here.

Now!

They wanna kill you

in a snuff film, Sofia.

Snuff.

You know what that is?

Manol called me

to film your death.

Tortured and killed, and then

they'll sell on the market.

I was supposed

to be the director.

Why?! Why did you sell me?!

Because I got a rope

around my neck!

I lost 80,000 euros

at poker with Manol,

And I couldn't pay up.

He was blackmailing me.

He said he'd get revenge

on my whole family.

But now it's finished.

I don't want to be

anybody's slave.

Look, I got your passports back.

There is a plane leaving

tomorrow at 7:
00.

Tomorrow morning,

we are in Bucharest.

We'll get your brother,

my mother, and my sister

Before those bastards

can arrive.

And we'll go away, Sofia.

We'll go away.

A friend of mine has a house

near that airport.

We'll hide there tonight.

And tomorrow, at dawn,

we'll take off.

I hate you.

Who is this friend?

An Italian movie director...

Who knows about my troubles.

He's out of town now.

And won't be back

until tomorrow evening.

We'll be leaving from here

in seven hours.

So you better rest a little.

Solider.

100 if you tell me

where Sofia is.

Excuse me?

Where is Sofia?

I don't know.

Who does?

Ali.

Ali.

I'm sorry.

That son of a b*tch, Hector,

tricked me.

I just wanted to help you.

I didn't want to...

Thank you.

Where is Sofia?

I asked you a question.

Where is Sofia?

She's not here.

Then where is she?

You will never see Sofia again.

Okay.

(Gunshot)

(Groaning in pain)

You b*tch!

Sh*t. Damn you. Damn!

Ali, wake up, Ali.

We have to go.

What's the matter?

The door was blocked.

You locked us in.

I didn't lock you in.

It's the door. Look.

You should pull it harder.

You see?

And what's that light?

There in the mirror.

You see?

Oh, yes.

Gabriel.

Gabriel!

What the hell have you done?

You evil bastard.

I didn't make you

come with me, Sofia.

Give him the money.

(Speaking foreign language)

Hey, whoa!

Finish the job.

That job to finish, right there.

For the last time, talk.

You have no idea what I've been

through in my life.

You think a woman

can make me talk?

(Electric buzzing)

(Chuckling)

(Yelling in pain)

Where is she?

Where is she?!

Aahh!

Where is she?!

Done.

Why... did you free us?

To make the film more realistic.

It's one of the

golden rules of cinema.

Before inevitable doom,

There must always be

a scene of hope.

In this game, the rule is:

"do it to her".

Simply pronounce

these magic words,

And the other has no choice

but to sacrifice herself

Instead of the one

who was chosen.

And the big prize

is really simple.

She who makes it till dawn,

will go back home.

Twenty lashes.

Will you take them, or do we

start on our little mom's back?

Aah!

Aahh!

Everyone talks in the end.

In honor of our financier,

A respectable Turkish

businessman,

Our next tool is a typical

affliction of that country.

The falaka.

This hurts more

than on the back.

20 stripes.

Do we give them to you,

or your friend?

Me.

Stop!

(Whipping)

(Screaming)

Please! Aah!

TORTURER:

Come on! Go on, say it.

No, no, I did not

understand you.

No... No...

Did you say "do it to her"?

No! Do it to her...

(Chuckling)

(Moaning in pain)

I need to change

the battery.

I'm gonna go outside

for a while.

I'm gonna go get a drink.

All the time with

those stupid masks.

What the f*** are they doing?

Almost done.

(Unzipping)

What do you expect?

For them to show their faces...?

Since you are so fond

of each other,

For your last admission,

we will allow you...

A sweet kiss.

A special kiss.

With this.

One of you will go back home...

And forget this ever happened.

The other... will die.

That's a good girl.

Kiss your friend.

Put the gun on the floor.

Kick it away.

GABRIEL:

Please, I need help.

Take me... to a hospital.

You can't go to a hospital,

you a**hole.

They'll call the cops.

Later, I'll take you

to a vet friend of mine.

Now just shut the f*** up.

But...

I said shut up!

I'll be finished here

in ten minutes.

Now you're gonna pay, huh?

I'm sorry.

I would've done anything

to save you.

MANOL:

Smoking kills, huh?

I'm getting sick of this sh*t.
