[Inaudible]
I need you to write out
an emergency number
for a relative
or someone.
I don't expect anything
to go wrong,
but we're crossing the border,
after all.
In case something
does go wrong,
I'm sure there's someone
you'd like me to contact.
I guess my mother.
Please, write her name
and number.
[Woman speaking in Spanish
over radio]
Uh, can I see your passport?
Yeah, I need to make sure you're
really who you say you are.
All right. I'll keep this
till we get to the US side.
Safer that way.
Hola.
Please get in the van.
Who are these guys?
They're from
the agency.
Come on.
I thought you wanted me to stay
in this parking lot forever.
Fucking living here.
Sorry, Lukasz,
it's out of my control.
Thank God it's out
of your control.
If it were up to you, we'd all
be permanent fucking residents.
You don't think I have
anything better to do tonight?
You got five
premium-quality girls here.
All models
and actresses.
I don't need
five girls.
I only need two.
This kind of stock does not
come around every day.
Now, I was sure
when you saw these girls...
- I need two.
- Lukasz, they're already here.
I'm sure we can
make a deal.
Deal?
Now I have to deal
with it.
Now it's my problem
they're already here.
[Speaking in foreign language]
You know the one in the middle,
she really looks like a horse.
She doesn't look

She totally looks like a horse.
Look at her.
Just watch her.
Neigh, neigh!
- Shh!

[Laughing]
I want all five in Houston
by tomorrow morning, all right?
[Speaking in foreign language]
All right, girls.
Everything's going
according to plan.
They really like
all of you,
and they're offering you
a very good contract.
I'm... I'm sorry.
When... When will I get
my passport back?
Oh, you forget about
your passport.
I told you you'd get it
when we crossed the border.
Now, before we move
forward.
we need to sign
some documents.
It's just a formality. We need
everything to be official.
It's America, after all.
They're waiting for you
in the office. Come on.

NATASHA:
This guy came to the place
where I worked.
He gave me a big tip
and said that he works for
a modelling agency in New York.
He said that he was
a scout
looking for girls
for the agency
He said that it's impossible
to get me a US visa
while I'm in Russia.
But if I paid him
$3,000
and bought a ticket
to Mexico,
he would arrange
everything else.
Move me across the border
to America.
And once I'm in America,
the agency would make me
a green card.
And I believed him.
I always knew that I would
go to America.
Where all the stars are.
Want to be
a star myself.
And all the people
from my town
would see me on TV.
They would see that I'm rich
and I'm happy.
And they would say,
"Wow, this is Natasha
from Irkutsk."
I didn't think
it would be like this.
Hey, honey.
What can I get for you?
Two pizza.
- You want two plain slices, then?
- Yes, ma'am.
All right.
Two cheese to go.
It'll be just a minute.
Here.
I can't eat like this.
I'm not going to fight you
again, I promise.
You do something
I don't like,
you will regret it.
Understand?
Yes.
[Cows lowing]
How long have you
been here for?
Long time.
You have a wife?
Yes.
You have kids?
Yes.
Five.
Four sons.
My girl is the oldest.
She's 26.
I'm 24.
Are they here?
SAYED:
No.
Port Said. Do you know
where is it?
No.
The same as America now.
Why?
American doesn't know nothing
about nothing.
If you don't like it
here so much,
why don't you go back
to your family?
You ask too many
questions.
I'll pay you a lot of money
if you let me go.
I have friends in Russia.
Very rich people.
I can get a lot
of money.
It's not about the money.
Of course
it's about money.
I told you,
it's not about the money.
What is it about, then?
You gave them your word
and you can't break it
because you're a man
of honour?
Or you sign a contract
with them?
Yes, a contract.
The kind of contract
you do not break.
What, are you
sacred of them?
I'm not scared
of no one.
But you should be.
You don't know
these guys.
If they told you they're going
to hurt your family, they will.

NATASHA:
This guy came to the place
where I worked.
He gave me a big tip
and said that he works for
a modelling agency in New York.
He said that he was
a scout
looking for girls
for the agency
He said that it's impossible
to get me a US visa
while I'm in Russia.
But if I paid him
$3,000
and bought a ticket
to Mexico,
he would arrange
everything else.
Move me across the border
to America.
And once I'm in America,
the agency would make me
a green card.
And I believed him.
I always knew that I would
go to America.
Where all the stars are.
Want to be
a star myself.
And all the people
from my town
would see me on TV.
They would see that I'm rich
and I'm happy.
And they would say,
"Wow, this is Natasha
from Irkutsk."
I didn't think
it would be like this.
Hey, honey.
What can I get for you?
Two pizza.
- You want two plain slices, then?
- Yes, ma'am.
All right.
Two cheese to go.
It'll be just a minute.
Here.
I can't eat like this.
I'm not going to fight you
again, I promise.
You do something
I don't like,
you will regret it.
Understand?
Yes.
[Cows lowing]
How long have you
been here for?
Long time.
You have a wife?
Yes.
You have kids?
Yes.
Five.
Four sons.
My girl is the oldest.
She's 26.
I'm 24.
Are they here?
SAYED:
No.
Port Said. Do you know
where is it?
No.
The same as America now.
Why?
American doesn't know nothing
about nothing.
If you don't like it
here so much,
why don't you go back
to your family?
You ask too many
questions.
I'll pay you a lot of money
if you let me go.
I have friends in Russia.
Very rich people.
I can get a lot
of money.
It's not about the money.
Of course
it's about money.
I told you,
it's not about the money.
What is it about, then?
You gave them your word
and you can't break it
because you're a man
of honour?
Or you sign a contract
with them?
Yes, a contract.
The kind of contract
you do not break.
What, are you
sacred of them?
I'm not scared
of no one.
But you should be.
You don't know
these guys.
If they told you they're going
to hurt your family, they will.
