- Sure.

- So taking pictures there

can be quite dangerous.

Of course you can just

walk in and have a look,

but just don't bring

that camera in.

Hmm.

Hi.

Free checkup.

Free clinic.

Hi.

Free checkup.

Ma'am, up here.

Help.

Help.

Help me get out of here.

Please.

Help.

Ahh!

Maybe you're right after all.

Maybe there's been a mistake.

I got you a peace offering.

Juice.

Do you like man we sent you?

Pick her up.

Get out.

Get out of the way.

- She's so heavy.

- Stop complaining.

I've been thinking about you.

Have you been thinking about me?

No!

The hard part's over.

From now on, it'll get

easier and easier.

You'll see, my sweet girl.

Ah! Ahh!

Leave me!

- Drink up.

- Don't spit it.

- Open up, swallow.

- Drink it, drink it.

- Come on, come on.

Stop it!

Stop fighting!

- Ah! Leave me!

- Come on, pull up.

Hold her.

I'll get her legs.

Shut up!

- Stop kicking!

Oh.

Lakshmi.

- I don't like her.

- -Okay. Okay.

Sorry.

Lakshmi, make us some

good money tonight.

Ugh!

She's probably 12.

My daughters age.

Mm, mm, mm.

Can I see?

We have to help this girl.

How did you manage

to take this picture?

In a nun outfit.

When you raid this brothel,

I want to be there

and take pictures.

Unfortunately, setting up a raid

can take weeks.

There are protocols

we must follow.

- Yah!

- -Eight!

Along with self-defense

we teach academics,

vocational skills.

This prepares them for life.

- Yah!

- Five.

- Yah!

- Six!

- Yah!

- Seven!

- No!

- Excuse me.

No! I said, "no!"

- All right.

- I will not testify!

Just tell me a name,

and we'll protect you.

- They know what I did.

- I know they know,

but still nothing will happen.

- They will kill my family.

- -Seema, calm down.

- What? Oh, hello, hello.

- No.

No pictures, please.

No pictures.

Go.

Nothing will happen

to your family.

- Okay?

- No!

Delete all photos of Vikram.

He works undercover.

If the photo got into the wrong

hands, he will be killed.

No problem.

Uh.

I still smell them.

They're not washing off.

Someone stole my Lakshmi statue.

It's gone.

You can't trust anyone

in this place.

Come.

Out.

I need this place.

Time to go.

I can go home?

Yes, of course.

After you've paid back

the 30,000 that you owe me.

30,000?

I had to pay Varun off

to save your life.

Now you can join the others

and roam the house.

But, if you try

to runaway again,

you've had it.

Give you some rice

and show her her bed.

Ah, you're here.

- Oh.

- This is...

A little birdie

told me that you...

What you staring at?

Go.

What a pretty young thing.

Hi, Pushpa.

Hi, Jeena.

Oh, she's sleeping.

Harish, up.

This is her bed now.

I'm not him.

I'm Renaldo.

You are from Nepal, aren't you?

What?

What did I say?

She's new.

Just go, okay?

Harish, come here.

This is your bed now.

You work and sleep here.

When you have a customer,

move this curtain closed.

Like this.

Okay?

Harish, I have a customer.

Go.

Want to fly kites?

Come.

Come.

Come.

Lakshmi.

Lakshmi, over here.

Here.

You try.

Here.

Yah.

Oh. Ah.

Watch out.

Ooh.

Good.

Put in.

Put it in.

- Great.

- Oh!

You let go.

Ah!

It's getting away.

Lakshmi.

There's a customer waiting.

Listen.

Take him to your bed, okay?

Do you want another mango juice?

Do you?

Come, come.

- Ugh!

- -Hey, stop it.

No! Ugh!

I've already paid for you.

- Stop!

- -You're mine.

- Stop! No!

Oh.

Lakshmi, what are you doing?

Lakshmi, give me your hand.

Come down.

Come down.

That's right.

Shh!

Shh. Shh. Shh.

- Hundred rupees.

- What? Hundred rupees?

I could have another

go with her for that.

This is not even cold.

- Hundred.

What are you doing here?

You are supposed to be working.

A hundred rupees a customer,

average ten a night

in 57 days.

I can go home.

That's not how Mumtaz

figures it.

I know maths.

Mumtaz has her own kind of math.

If Mumtaz finds you hiding here,

she'll bury you alive.

She's enjoying this.

You know this bride here?

She was the first girl

we ever rescued,

and today she's now like

the backbone of hope house.

How did you get

involved in all this?

- Who? Me?

- Hmm.

I was in the police force.

So one day I went into a

brothel with my captain.

It turned out

that he was taking bribes.

A little girl, maybe nine,

she came running and, uh,

put her arms around me

and just asked me

to get her out of that place.

The next day I went back,

and she was gone.

Get up! Lunch is ready!

Come.

Hey!

Hey, get up!

Wake up!

Time for lunch.

You want to eat?

Get up.

Old ones are gentle and fast.

And they tip,

but they smell bad.

Young ones take forever.

They smell a bit better,

but they leave you

black and blue.

And they fall in love,

which is exhausting.

Sometimes...

I imagine my customer

is an animal.

Dog... ruff!

Pig...

Snake.

Hide your tips.

People steal.

Don't trust girls,

especially Americans.

They will trick you into

running away, cut you open,

take a kidney, and leave

you to die in the gutter.

They say it happened

to someone here.

Use this.

They will protect you

from disease.

But don't insist.

If Mumtaz finds out you insist,

she'll beat you.

What is this for?

What you doing?

I'm making a kite for Harish.

Kites don't need tails.

Stand up.

Sit.

- Harish.

- Hmm?

- I made this for you.

- Oh, my gosh.

- For me?

- Yes.

Thanks.

It flies great.

Third time you tried to get out.

What are you men doing?

Where is that runaway?

Bloody bastards,

Tanak and Suren!

What the hell have you done?

You told us to punish

her for running.

Never touch faces.

Use chilies.

Faces are merchandise.

Only use chilies.

- Spread her legs.

- Hold her hands.

Here. Okay, okay.

No. No.

Show them how it's done.

Hold her. Hey!

I can't.

Shut up.

You see?

That's how you do it.

Now, how many times

have I told you

not to hit faces?

- Hungry?

- Yes.

Okay.

I'll get you some DAL and rice.

It was you, wasn't it?

I want it back.

- Where is it?

- Where is what?

My statue.

Give it back.

My mother gave that to me.

I don't know

what you are talking about.

Liar!

Thief!

I did not take your statue!

Huh!

I'm giving you this candle

to shine a light on your story.

When Lalita's parents died,

her cousin sold her

into the brothel.

Mahdu is an excellent artist.

She's going to be an animator.

Bindhu.

She wants to teach

homeless children

in train station schools.

You must understand

what is involved here.

What I understand

is every day she's there

she's raped and beaten.

I need to know

everything, right?

The entrances, the exits,

the hiding places,

and I need to earn

her trust first.

So be patient, please.

I heard her scream

as he beat her.

It's like that girl

who put her arms around you.

I just can't get her out

of my head.

I'll set up a raid

as soon as possible.

That's a promise.

So be patient.

That's mine.

Give it back.

What are you doing?

Give me my ball back.

Give me back my ball.
