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.
