( HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING )
We've been told
he used to come down here.
They said you'd know
where to find him.
( CHURCH BELL RINGING )
Let me help ya.
What are you doing here?
I just lied to the police.
You haven't changed at all.
If I could do something
else, I would do it.
What did the policeman say
when you gave him
the description?
He laughed at me.
He said it was
"too vague."
He said, "Tell
JOEY Jones to come
and speak
to us himself."
You mean they can't be
bothered to f***ing look
'cause she was a whore.
The truth is...
the police are more interested
in finding out more about you.
You're becoming famous, JOEY.
And Isabel isn't famous?
You really are a hypocrite.
You beat Taxman so bad
he's still in hospital.
You're not just an angel,
you're God Almighty
dispensing justice.
Yeah, well,
I believe in justice.
Sometimes you have to
make it happen yourself.
I'm not the only
hypocrite here.
Want a kiss?
( DOOR OPENS )
- Sorry.
- Get out of my car.
It's a van.
I suppose you think it was
very funny that I got drunk.
I've been drunk myself
on occasion.
What exactly happened?
You don't remember?
It's all a blur.
You asked me to kiss you,
so I kissed you.
( SIGHS )
You didn't have to kiss me
just because I asked.
I wanted to.
Why did you want to?
That's a really
stupid question.
Look in the mirror.
It's not my fault
that I'm f***ed up.
For a nun, your language
is pretty bad.
So whose fault is it?
He was my
gymnastics instructor.
It was in Warsaw.
It was my father who
made me do gymnastics.
I wanted to be a ballerina,
but he said no.
( DOOR OPENS )
CRISTINA:
If I hadbecome a ballerina,
it wouldn't have happened.
My instructor began to...
( SHUDDERS )
He began to do it
when I was 10 years old.
He did it 17 times.
It was going to be
the 18th time.
For a very long time,
I believed I belonged in hell.
Because I was so young...
they decided not
to send me to prison.
Instead, they sent me
to a convent.
JOEY, I...
I have never told this
to anyone before.
Want me to drive?
I want someone to drive.
CRISTINA:
Here will be fine.
( ENGINE STOPS )
How will you get home?
I'm a gangster.
I'll steal a car.
I'll walk.
It's a lovely morning.
( SIGHS )
Cristina, in the end,
I just took off
my uniform and ran.
And look what happened to you.
Sister Cristina,
I am deeply shocked.
You filled in
the Africa application.
My preference is for the Valley
Mission in Sierra Leone.
But what about your work here
at the Soho Mission?
Africa was always
part of my life plan.
Yes, in two years.
I want permission
to move it forward.
But why?
I am finding there are too many
distractions here in London.
You're blushing.
It's very warm in here.
It's even warmer
in Sierra Leone.
Hot, even.
I will wear a hat.
You have applied
to leave in this quarter.
I am ready to leave any time
after October the first.
( CAR SIREN PASSES )
JOEY, they said you wanted
to speak to the boss.
Come with me.
( SPEAKING CHINESE )
Sit.
Madame Choy.
Madame, you know
everything that happens
in your back garden.
( SPEAKING CHINESE )
If a man pays for girls
and he's violent,
he soon becomes famous.
( SPEAKING CHINESE )
We refuse to deal with them.
The Russians will
just charge double.
I understand you have
a blacklist of violent men.
JOEY:
I'm looking fora very violent man
who attacks girls.
He's young.
Around 30.
And he has a scar
above his eye.
He wears very expensive suits.
We know him.
The description
is not too vague for you?
We have a business to protect.
Madame, would you be able to
find out the name of this man?
Hmm.
( DRAWER OPENS )
( SPEAKS CHINESE )
A favor for a favor.
( AIR HORN BLASTING,
GULLS SQUAWKING )
( SPEAKING CHINESE )
( MEN COUGHING )
( CLICKING )
( THUNDER RUMBLES )
- Did they tell you?
- Tell me what?
They didn't tell you.
( CRIES ) No, no, stop!
- Ah!
- They didn't tell you.
( GROANING, SOBBING )
( GLASS BREAKING )
( MAN GRUNTING )
Stop.
( SLAPPING, YELPING WITHIN )
( HORN HONKS )
Some of them are kids.
And some of them are girls.
You want one?
I also asked for information.
It's coming, okay?
( SPEAKING CHINESE )
It's the latest.
Do you know how to work it?
Yes, of course.
You could afford to get
a professional to do this.
Yeah, but I wanted you.
So who are the photographs for?
My daughter.
You have a daughter?
Nine years old.
I came here with her once
when she was small.
She might remember.
I want her to have
some photographs of me
looking like a normal man.
What do you think?
Like this?
( IAUGHS )
Smile.
Why?
Okay, actually, you look okay.
Do I look like a good man?
What do you mean?
I want her to think
I'm a good man.
Yes, you look like a good man.
So take a picture.
( SHUTTER CLICKS )
Did your daughter
ask for photos?
No, but when she's older,
I want her to have something
to remind her of me.
You won't see her?
I don't think I'll look
like this for much longer.
Why not?
Why shouldn't you
stay like this?
Just take a picture.
( DOG WHINING )
You should have one like this.
More natural.
The businessman drinking
his morning coffee.
Such a successful man.
So rich.
- Charitable.
- Of course.
She will be very proud of you.
Enough.
I said enough.
At last a laugh.
There.
I am changing you.
Send those ones to me.
I'll take them with me
to Africa.
You're going to Africa?
A valley in Sierra Leone
where there is no water.
When do you leave?
Tomorrow.
So this is the end
of my crazy patch, JOEY.
And I've decided
I want to end it with you.
VENDOR:
Sport coats, shorts...
half price.
T-shirts half price.
I've got rain jackets
half price.
Fleece half price.
Walking boots half price.
Trousers, half price.
Keep the change.
...half price.
A massive 50...
...half price.
Rain jackets half price.
Hello?
Who's there?
( CRISTINA LAUGHING )
- ( CLICKING WITHIN )
- Hello?
( BUZZES )
JOEY:
Cristina!
Who the bloody hell are you?
Open this bloody door,
will you?
I don't know who you are,
but open this door.
( BUZZES )
DAMON:
Open this door.
Did you hear me?
I said open the door.
- ( DOORBELL BUZZES )
- ( POUNDING ON DOOR )
( LAUGHS )
Cristina.
There's enough money in here
to get us away.
We could go anywhere
in the world.
No, JOEY...
if you want to be a good man,
be a good man.
JOEY, will you come with me
to the ballet tonight?
I have a box.
There is room for two.
Tonight at 7:
00.CRISTINA:
My timehere at this mission
has been a fulfilling time.
Surprises all along the way.
Our mission has had
some failures.
Some tragedies...
the poor girl Isabel.
But we have also had successes.
And we have also had some who,
in spite of how it may appear,
give us reason to hope.
Who are you?
I've got something
for your mother.
And something for you.
