before that.

What you just did

will triple your debt.

So from now on, sweetheart,

you will do what men tell you,

and smile when you do it

till all your debt is cleared.

Do you understand?

No! I won't!

Help me! Help me!

Help me!

You that b*tch?

Mind your bloody business.

Child! Apologize!

Apologize to the sahib!

Sorry, sir.

Sorry.

I'll take care of everything.

- Ha?

- Hmm.

You'll have beat.

She'll learn

one way or the other.

- Go

try to run now.

Help! Help!

Help!

What are you doing?

If you yell again,

I'll cut your tongue out!

First time in Kolkata?

Mm-hmm.

Let me out!

Let me out of here!

You'll be fine.

If you do exactly

as you're told, okay?

Hmm?

You want to eat?

Or you want to die?

Hmm?

Hmm? That's how you

want to have it?

Mumtaz?

Enough!

You do something

about this girl now!

Come, come.

I have an appointment

with Mrs. Tripathi.

Thank you so much for coming.

- Thank you.

- Pleasure.

Let me introduce you

to everyone.

This is Vikram.

He's our chief investigator.

- Hi. How you doing?

- Hi. Thank you. Nice.

And this is Sam.

He's from the U.S.

He's training under Vikram

as an investigator.

And this is Sophia

the photographer

I was telling you both about.

I'm honored to be here.

We would love for you

to photograph our girls.

I wouldn't mind shooting where

they've come from as well

if that's possible.

I don't think

that's gonna be possible.

Because if you're

talking about the ones

from the red light district,

photography

is not permitted there.

- Sorry. -Yeah, no

one wants evidence

that can put them behind bars.

- 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.
