Lioness (2024) Movie Script
Excuse me...
We have to quit for today.
We'll continue tomorrow.
The number you are calling is either
switched off or out of range.
Well?
It is blackmail.
How can you be so cynical?
What if she has hurt herself again?
She does all this to hurt me.
Well, does it... hurt?
Hello!
Where were you?
Damn... Darling...
I'm so sorry.
Please don't to this again.
LIONESS
Thank you.
Let's work it this way today:
everyone gets a word, and we listen.
Really listen what the other has to say.
We do not criticise, interrupt,
just listen and try to understand.
It's the foundation of any
trust building, right? - Of course.
Stefi, you first.
And try to speak as if there were
perfect strangers here.
| have told this 100 times.
- Understood.
But | am hearing you for the first time.
Right?
Okay.
| don't like school.
No one likes me at school either.
That's it.
And why do you think that?
- You're yourself making your own life difficult,
behaving like this, looking like that.
- Sure, yeah.
Can | go to the toilet?
- Yes, of course, quick.
We had an agreement, hadnt we?
Its Stefis turn now.
But tell me Stefi if there is a place
where you can be as you are?
With friends.
Didnt you just say that
you didnt have friends? - Hey!
Hello.
Hello.
Oh, damn...
Why can't we have
a lock on bathroom door?
Like normal people.
If you hadn't locked yourself in here...
It was 100 years ago!
Shall | wash these?
- No need.
I'm actually happy
that you've found some friends.
That... That redhead
seems to be a nice girl.
What's her name?
Mariann.
What school does she attend?
| don't know.
Where does she live?
| don't know.
You're together so often now,
maybe you can give me her number?
What for?
I'll kill you.
- What are you doing?
You're down.
- How'd you learn that?
No! | get it, | get it!
Please, die!
Why am | jumping here?
- No!
What happened?
| won!
- No way.
What rice is not eaten?
- Paris.
Which mines do not explode?
- Vitamins.
Which mite does not bite?
- Termite.
No! Dynamite!
Okay. Next.
Which corn is not edible?
Wait!
- Think!
Foot corn!
Mom, what's foot corn?
They are sort of hard calluses
appearing on feet.
Yuck!
Only old hags have them.
What are you doing?
- Who are you talking to?
No! Give it back!
- Who's Mariann?
Shut up!
Mom, who's Mariann?
- It doesn't matter. Give it back!
Stop it!
Stef...
Promise me you'll try. Stay till
the end. Keep your phone on.
Let's wait for a moment.
We won't spy on her.
Positioning.
Loading map.
Mom, please come!
Mom, | need some help.
Damn girl! Nothing but promises.
You can say: " | told you!"
It would be even better now, than...
Why nobody hears me!
| said | need help.
Mom...
At what time did you come home today?
As usual.
| won the fourth place today.
- And was Stefi home then?
Yeah.
And the red headed girl was here again.
They spent like an hour in bathroom.
And when they finally came out,
then Stefi had strange clothes on
and her face made up.
Did they say where they were going?
- | really can't do this on my own.
Show me.
- | want that mom...
| can't right now.
I'll go and ride around a bit.
Show me...
Honey, what are you
blushing about?
Take it easier somehow!
You're a super star!
I'll come right away. Hi!
-Hi!
Well... did you eat them up all by yourself?
Raise your hands! And get your hips moving!
See what | found.
Is this your mother?
You have your phone on?
Yo, dudes, we have a visitor.
- Fuck it!
Let's say hello.
You can't stalk me like that.
- Hello!
So you are Stef's mother, right?
But of course! You are so alike.
I'm Mariann. Pleased to meet you.
So?
No one says hello anymore.
We have a little open air seminar
going on here.
Combining business and pleasure.
Stef is, like, a total genius.
And very beautiful, too.
Right, darling?
Yo, cops!
Alright, we are going home.
We are going home, Kitty!
Was nice to meet you,
we have to go now.
We are going home now!
Hey missis, we're in the middle
of something. -
Stefi is 15! And she's not
in the middle of anything here!
In India, they have kids at 15!
You coming?
But ok, she'll be home by sunrise,
good God.
Fucking hell!
Leave me alone.
Take him away!
Wow!
Look who's here!
Good evening!
Your ID, please.
Let go of me!
Why are you sitting here?
You don't have to guard me.
One of these jerks is my son.
Paul, 17.
Stefi is just 15.
One of the girls there is 13.
Maybe younger.
And guess where she's from?
From hundreds of miles away.
Do you imagine, they run off their
homes, hitchhike through the country
in order to hang with these dickwits
in some stinky tunnel.
How do they get acquainted?
- In the web
They do everything in the web.
Get drugs, sex, friends...
But from home they run off for real.
Unpunishable troop of monkeys.
That redhead... Who is she?
Mariann?
A tough chick.
The main string-puller,
She has twisted my Paul very well
around her finger.
| don't know how, but | suggest
you must cut this thing off.
Before it's too late.
Hang on.
Take the other side.
- What happened?
Where did you find her?
- I'll tell you later
Go get a washbowl.
I'm not a baby!
What are you...
Let's go to the other room.
Mariann: Everything ok?
PS. You have wicked ( )v( )
Stefi, what are you doing?
Easy! Easy!
Kaarel!
No!
Kaarel!
No! Kaarel!
Kaarel, come and help!
Stefi! Let go!
Come here.
We managed to stabilize her.
Your girl had quite a cocktail
in her system.
We can't keep pace
with these street chemists.
| think she took something at home, too.
What and how much?
| didn't have time to check.
Okey then.
We'll recheck the labs once more.
But anyway, we'll rinse
her clean this time
and keep her here
for at least couple of days.
But can't you take her in
for a longer period?
To a closed department.
No, that's out of question right now.
Kaarel!
Please wait!
Let's travel somewhere.
| don't know. Somewhere warm.
We have to cut it off
before it's too late.
I've always told you, let's travel
somewhere, together.
It has never suited you.
It's emergency.
- She won't come with us.
Not voluntarily anyway.
Hello.
- Well, hello.
We didn't get to it last time.
I'm Helena. - Priit.
How do you think can | help?
Everything has been tried out with Paul.
Therapy, shock imprisonment,
special school, madhouse...
Both police and the suits in parliament
have tried to get rid of this mob.
All these jerks
should be thrown to jail.
Every one on a different island.
1000 km of shark infested waters
between them, than it may work.
| sure would help if | knew how.
Believe me.
Can you stand up for me?
Lets try to stand up. Good.
Let's get out of here.
When she gets out of here,
everything will start all over.
| need some time.
We can't keep her here
after this weekend.
It's too early.
- Yes, but...
It can't be helped. Her readings are
fine and we don't treat heads here.
For sale.
You said yourself
that it has to be cut off.
Okay, how do you mean to do it?
You do realise that
it's absolutely forbidden?
It's criminal.
Do you have any other plan?
A plan of actions.
Not just endless discussions.
You do know...
- | need your help.
I'm a policeman.
- Exactly.
And a father.
Have you lost your mind?
| can't help you, | just can't.
| am not allowed!
At last, you look, like, super cool.
Like a serious player.
Don't cough, darling.
Hey, and this lingerie
suits you fully well
Let's not do it.
Don't be so shy.
You are both so cute there.
You wanted to show your mother
her right place.
Just think how much she's ready
to pay for this not to be published.
And think what we could have
for all this cash.
| mean, really. | don't want to.
- Stop whining.
For real, you're whining 24/7.
We had an agreement, right?
I'm trying to do you good.
| have given you clothes,
taken you with me to places,
you've found shitload of friends
just thanks to me.
And you arent even grateful for that.
Do you think all this party is for free?
Fucking funny!
But | didn't know it will go that far -
Hey, | don't want to be your friend
anymore if you're like this.
| didn't mean it like that.
- Listen!
You show this to your mommy and daddy,
Or | publish it on the web.
Got it?
Stefi!
Get dressed, we're going home.
Everything will be alright,
don't worry.
| promise.
We have checked the hospital...
- You are the professionals!
You have to find her. Take a dog.
Let it pick up scent.
Don't worry. The professionals
are working as we speak.
We have done all this.
Now we just need to understand
whether she is lost or ran away.
- What does it matter?
Lost or ran away!
She needs to be found.
What matters is whether
there's a threat to her life.
Or is she hiding,
wanting not to be found.
It's very hard to search for a person
wanting not to be found. You know that.
But who's responsible when
someone just disappears from hospital?
Hospital is not prison!
No one is being held there.
She was supposed
to be sent home tomorrow!
It very much seems
that she didn't want to go home.
What?
Don't you dare to say that!
Let's proceed as we normally do.
You call to her friends, acquaintances,
search the web.
And we keep on searching.
Did you bring the photo?
Why am | here?
What are you doing?
Drinking water
is in the little green jug.
You can do your business on the bucket
in the corner. Close the lid afterwards.
What are you talking about?
What is this place anyway?
You don't recognise?
It's Nana's old house.
We haven't been here for a long time.
Are you out of your mind?
Seriously, I'm scared.
Nothing to be scared of here.
| have prepared everything.
No one knows you are here.
I'll come to visit you every day.
| promise.
What do you mean, every day?
You were right.
We should have traveled somewhere.
No, that wasn't...
That wasn't a good plan.
I'm so tired.
| don't understand a thing anymore.
With Sannu, it's all clear.
What works and what doesn't.
What shall we tell to the boy?
The truth.
Help!
We don't know what the truth is here.
Are all the girls like that?
Difficult.
Help!
| don't know.
| wasn't.
Didn't have the luxury.
For how long do you mean
to accuse your mother in everything?
Forever.
Let me go!
It's my fault.
How come?
- You didn't want to have children.
You said you don't know how to be
a mother. | didn't believe you.
I'm glad you didn't.
So what shall we do now?
We wait.
You wait here, please!
I dont understand why we are here?
Someone saw a strangely dressed girl
here yesterday -
in her slippers.
Listen, please keep an eye on him.
At least drink something.
Even famous hunger strikers
drink water.
A couple of days more
and I'll put an IV drip on you.
Forcefully, if needed.
| hate you!
For real.
Till the end of my life.
I'll never forgive you.
- | can live with that.
Your hatred.
At least you're alive.
| know where you are.
Hello.
So how's it going?
Good.
| heard that Stefi went missing.
So you... You managed
to pull it through.
Do you want to come and see?
- No...
No, | believe... | prefer to believe
you know what you're doing.
In fact, | wanted to say that...
That you don't have to worry about me.
| won't tell anyone.
| promise.
Thanks.
Does your husband know?
For how long do you mean
to keep her here?
How's Paul doing?
Same old. As soon as he got out,
he disappeared.
Would you like some coffee?
Some other time maybe.
| heard the sound of a car.
It was Priit.
- Priit who?
Paul's father.
The policeman?
What did he want?
Is he involved in this, too?
Do father and Sannu know?
| don't think father would ever agree
on anything like this. Or does he?
Of course not.
Stefi...
But why isn't anyone looking for me?
So no one cares about where | am?
Go away.
Go away.
What are you doing?
- Please switch that out, too.
Why?
| think Stefi won't come
because of us.
She just doesn't like us anymore.
If she'd think we're not home,
maybe she would come.
She will come.
She always does, doesn't she?
| just want her to be as she used to.
For how long do you mean
to keep me here?
| really don't know.
- Fucking hell.
Don't swear, it doesn't suit you.
- 1 don't get what do you want.
| can't let you to just disappear again.
Or hurt yourself again.
Why not?
I'm nothing but trouble, right?
You think I'm doing everything wrong.
- Darling...
I've tried to please you
for all my life.
| danced, | played piano...
But you managed to come
to listen me playing just once.
Bravo!
Well done.
Dad was always there.
Other moms were present every time.
Once, the teacher gave me
woolen slippers she had knitted
and said, you poor thing,
it seems you don't have a mom.
She shouldn't have said that.
But she was right.
Then | thought, okay...
Let's see what happens if | do
everything the other way round.
Do you really think | cut myself
because | seriously had no will to live?
So I'm right.
- What do you mean?
You do all this to hurt me.
To punish me.
You still don't get it.
You still don't.
Fucking hell.
Stefi!
Put it on.
My tummy aches.
When your tummy aches,
we need to go to see the doctor.
We do know what it's all about.
But this is exactly why
you must go to school right now.
| can't go to school
when you do nothing!
Hello. Is Stef home?
Hello! We came to see Stef.
Is she still ill?
We could cheer her up or something.
Where is she?
How should | know?
You are her new best friends.
Hold on, is she really missing?
We were absolutely sure it was
missis Doctor's clever media spin.
After we visited Stefi at the hospital.
What...
Stefi didn't tell or what?
To fuck on me like that!
Okay then.
We have something
that Stef should pay some cash.
500 and everything is forgotten.
You see, your Stefi
has a load of hidden talent.
That, I'm afraid, do not make
mommy and daddy happy.
What are you talking about?
Get out! - Calm down, oldie.
You know what relaxes the stiff
dull-asses like you the best?
A proper young man's cock!
Front, back and mouth.
- Hey, let's go!
Excuse us. Greetings to Stef,
tell her we're waiting.
Hey, you're not bad at all.
Paul, come!
She came back?
No.
Sannu said that's the redhead.
Did they know something about her?
- No.
Why did they come then?
- To look for her.
To look for her?
Something here does not add up.
The police can't find her.
These guys also don't know where she is.
| hoped she's with them...
Something is fundamentally wrong.
We have to tell the police immediately
that they were here.
Yeah.
So let's go!
- Of course. We have to.
I'll wait for you downstairs.
Sannu is in the car.
Did you even hear what | said?
You go there yourself.
I'll stay at home.
Just in case.
Well?
You're late today.
Im hungry already.
I'll make some right away.
Is that mom?
Where are we anyway?
Daddy! | should be at school!
What did he look like?
- Who?
Well, Paul, of course.
You texted that you saw him.
| don't think anyone is ready
for something like this.
Paul had the vegetable phase first.
He was so apathetic you had
to pinch him to see if he's breathing.
And then...
Then acne appeared
and next moment, he wanted
to blow up himself and the whole world.
He lived few weeks with me
and few weeks with his mother
Didn't have a proper home. | told him
to live with me permanently,
but my ex wouldn't agree.
Then she had two kids in a row
with some new jerk
and Paul lost ground completely.
Didn't sleep, wetted his bed at night.
Wait. Let me...
And then he didn't come home
for the first time.
The first time, it's like with sex.
Meaning that the first time
your child is missing is the worst.
It starts to haunt you.
Where were you?
What do you mean?
| called you several times.
Busy shift.
We have to go to school tomorrow.
The witnesses say
that Sander punched and kicked,
pulled hair and caused serious injuries.
| don't get it. To whom?
To a higher grade pupil.
| can't mention any names.
Sander has never
fought with anyone. Never.
Yes, that was the first time
here at school, too.
You did investigate the reason,
didn't you?
I'm afraid Sander is not willing
to explain why he did this.
You can't spend the rest of your life
under this blanket. Why'd you hit him?
What happened?
- Go away!
Come out...
- Go away!
Sander, it will pass...
- | don't want you here.
Everything will pass.
Nothing will ever pass in the Internet.
| can never go to school normally again.
Fucking slut!
- Language!
That's how they call her!
They made me to watch it.
- What?
The video.
- What video?
The video about Stefi!
About Stefi?
- Yeah!
What did she do there?
- Well...
Darling, you are worried already
or what?
Don't say you'll get cold feet.
- No...
Do you want a candy to encourage you?
What is it?
- Take it!
Who cares? You'll be all swell.
Here, wash it down with this.
Trust me.
You see? Once more.
Good girl!
But hey, show me your tits.
Show me! I'll help you.
My god how hot!
You have super nice tits!
Paul has a boner already, believe me.
He has it hard as rock. His penis.
Paul, come here!
You two are fucking perfect match!
Totally insane!
Paul, you do know how to please a girl.
| taught you, right?
Ok, stand closer.
It's mega nice to have sex!
Just like this, all of a sudden.
Dont touch me.
You go home! Go! Go!
Police will be here right now.
What the fuck are you doing, old slut?
What have you done, you crazy!
Why did you let it happen to you?
Tell me!
| just wanted to.
| can't understand why?
| can't understand
what's the big deal?
The whole world will see it!
Your father and your brother
had to watch it!
So what?
That's good.
I'm 15 and | can fuck whoever | want to.
- Stop it, Stefi!
What business is it yours
whom | show my tits and twat?
| gave birth to you.
Should not have done it.
| know you didn't want to have me.
By the way, that Mariann
came to look for you.
With her minions.
She's asking money for your performance.
Yes, nothing more than money.
- You're just envious!
You're just a frigid old bat.
And you can't believe
that someone could really like me.
| really like you!
| really love you.
Dont ... dont say its too late, Stef.
You haven't been to home at all?
What time is it?
The shift is starting.
It's all a total madness, isn't it?
| have spoiled everything.
Broken everything.
You are mending things now.
| believe everything can be mended.
You talk about your issues here and...
Sorry.
No, you are very...
You're doing very well.
| admire you.
| should have done the same
a while ago.
The girl will thank you for that
one day.
Our tech department established
that his video...
It's made a couple of weeks ago.
And IP address does not reveal anything.
They have covered
their tracks very well.
So the best lead so far is the pond.
Unfortunately.
But the ice is too thick now.
I'll check if our psychologist
can talk to you right now.
Please wait here.
| have to tell you something.
Not now.
| can't hide it any longer.
| may have done something very stupid.
You should know, it would be...
- Not now!
16 years. It's a long time.
Very long.
Happens to everyone.
At the moment,
we're dealing with our daughter.
| beg you.
When you were born...
You were so tiny.
Like Thumbelina.
When they handed you to me,
| felt this...
The greatest love in the world.
One that hurts terribly.
As a child, | was alone all the time.
| woke up alone.
Made myself a sandwich.
Cooked my own macaroni.
No one told me to be home by eight.
Because my beautiful and smart Nana
was convinced that | should
know myself how to live my life.
| had already had an abortion.
Secretly from your father.
But you didn't give up and came again.
| thought you do not sense it.
| hoped you wouldn't.
| hoped that...
That when | just do everything
the other way round like Nana, you won't notice.
But you felt right away
that something's rotten.
You didn't settle for this
halfway option.
And I'm grateful to you for that.
Very grateful.
Having you was not a mistake,
but the greatest success of my life.
Alright.
| apologise for all that.
Forgive me.
If...
Hello, Mrs Doctor.
Glad to see you.
So this is where you hide yourself.
Quite cosy.
Some party here or what?
How did you like our little film?
Stefi thought you're her friend.
But | am.
More than a friend.
Disgusting bastard.
Keep your Stef to yourself.
We don't give a fuck. But what you saw
was an innocent introduction
so you dickhead would get
that we're not bluffing.
Next time, there will be juicier stuff.
Want some?
And the deal is 500 for the last one,
plus 500 interest.
And you pay 1000 for us
not uploading the rest of it.
Shitheads!
Well, want some more?
Oris it clear now?
What are you doing, Paul?
Calm down!
- Let me go!
Do what you are told, you fuck!
Then why is she like that!
Calm down, Paul!
Stop it.
Mom!
Mom, do you hear me?
Mom!
Mom, please answer me.
Get the fuck out of here!
Move it!
Idiot!
Fucking Van Damme!
In fact, Stefi is lucky to have you.
Respect in that sense.
My Mrs Mom gave up long ago.
Mom!
Mom!
Please, open the door!
Mom!
I'm here! Please, open the door!
I'm scared already, | mean it!!
Mom!
Why didn't you answer?
| didn't know if you...
You shouldn't do like that.
- No | shouldn't.
| wouldn't have never believed that
you stood up for me like that.
We should call the police.
There is no point.
- Stefi...
You don't have to protect her.
I'm so stupid.
I've ruined everything.
No, Stefi.
Your life is just beginning.
It was just a small mistake, a lesson.
You'll get over it and just keep on living.
Do you hear me?
Just keep on living.
You're not asleep.
Shall we go home now?
I'd like to be here for some time.
Everything will be alright.
Where have you been?
What happened?
Do we have some cash at home?
What?
- | need some money.
We have what's stashed
in the encyclopaedia.
Do you want to tell me something?
I'll settle this first and tell then.
You settle what?
| think we should go
to the police right now.
Why?
- Your brow is slit.
It's my own fault.
Your fault or not, but if that fucking
cop did something to you, I...
What are you talking about?
- | saw you!
Well?
Where is she?
Here.
My god!
- She has been here.
All this time.
| kidnapped her from the hospital
and locked up here.
Have you lost your mind?
| had to do something.
Had to protect her somehow.
Okay.
What was the cop doing here?
Priit just helped me.
Helped you by slapping your face?
No, it wasn't like that.
You let me and Sannu
to worry ourselves sick!
I'm sorry.
So where is she?
Where is my daughter?
Tell me!
Look around! Stefi is not here!
She is missing.
Shes missing!
Has been missing for two weeks!
Stefi's not missing, | have
brought her food every day.
| fed her every day.
She was just here!
| embraced her.
Our daughter is in the bottom
of this pond! Under the ice!
Do you get it?
It's our fault! Yours and mine
fucking fault!
Shut up!
Shut up right now!
Can | go inside now?
| want to see Stefi, too.
| want to see Stefi, too.
Dad, what are you doing?
Stefi,
get dressed,
we're going home.
Where the hell are you?
Where are you?
Everything will be alright.
You'll see.
Everything will be alright.
Don't worry.
Everything will be alright.
| promise.
Mom, do you hear me?
Everything will be alright.
| promise.
We have to quit for today.
We'll continue tomorrow.
The number you are calling is either
switched off or out of range.
Well?
It is blackmail.
How can you be so cynical?
What if she has hurt herself again?
She does all this to hurt me.
Well, does it... hurt?
Hello!
Where were you?
Damn... Darling...
I'm so sorry.
Please don't to this again.
LIONESS
Thank you.
Let's work it this way today:
everyone gets a word, and we listen.
Really listen what the other has to say.
We do not criticise, interrupt,
just listen and try to understand.
It's the foundation of any
trust building, right? - Of course.
Stefi, you first.
And try to speak as if there were
perfect strangers here.
| have told this 100 times.
- Understood.
But | am hearing you for the first time.
Right?
Okay.
| don't like school.
No one likes me at school either.
That's it.
And why do you think that?
- You're yourself making your own life difficult,
behaving like this, looking like that.
- Sure, yeah.
Can | go to the toilet?
- Yes, of course, quick.
We had an agreement, hadnt we?
Its Stefis turn now.
But tell me Stefi if there is a place
where you can be as you are?
With friends.
Didnt you just say that
you didnt have friends? - Hey!
Hello.
Hello.
Oh, damn...
Why can't we have
a lock on bathroom door?
Like normal people.
If you hadn't locked yourself in here...
It was 100 years ago!
Shall | wash these?
- No need.
I'm actually happy
that you've found some friends.
That... That redhead
seems to be a nice girl.
What's her name?
Mariann.
What school does she attend?
| don't know.
Where does she live?
| don't know.
You're together so often now,
maybe you can give me her number?
What for?
I'll kill you.
- What are you doing?
You're down.
- How'd you learn that?
No! | get it, | get it!
Please, die!
Why am | jumping here?
- No!
What happened?
| won!
- No way.
What rice is not eaten?
- Paris.
Which mines do not explode?
- Vitamins.
Which mite does not bite?
- Termite.
No! Dynamite!
Okay. Next.
Which corn is not edible?
Wait!
- Think!
Foot corn!
Mom, what's foot corn?
They are sort of hard calluses
appearing on feet.
Yuck!
Only old hags have them.
What are you doing?
- Who are you talking to?
No! Give it back!
- Who's Mariann?
Shut up!
Mom, who's Mariann?
- It doesn't matter. Give it back!
Stop it!
Stef...
Promise me you'll try. Stay till
the end. Keep your phone on.
Let's wait for a moment.
We won't spy on her.
Positioning.
Loading map.
Mom, please come!
Mom, | need some help.
Damn girl! Nothing but promises.
You can say: " | told you!"
It would be even better now, than...
Why nobody hears me!
| said | need help.
Mom...
At what time did you come home today?
As usual.
| won the fourth place today.
- And was Stefi home then?
Yeah.
And the red headed girl was here again.
They spent like an hour in bathroom.
And when they finally came out,
then Stefi had strange clothes on
and her face made up.
Did they say where they were going?
- | really can't do this on my own.
Show me.
- | want that mom...
| can't right now.
I'll go and ride around a bit.
Show me...
Honey, what are you
blushing about?
Take it easier somehow!
You're a super star!
I'll come right away. Hi!
-Hi!
Well... did you eat them up all by yourself?
Raise your hands! And get your hips moving!
See what | found.
Is this your mother?
You have your phone on?
Yo, dudes, we have a visitor.
- Fuck it!
Let's say hello.
You can't stalk me like that.
- Hello!
So you are Stef's mother, right?
But of course! You are so alike.
I'm Mariann. Pleased to meet you.
So?
No one says hello anymore.
We have a little open air seminar
going on here.
Combining business and pleasure.
Stef is, like, a total genius.
And very beautiful, too.
Right, darling?
Yo, cops!
Alright, we are going home.
We are going home, Kitty!
Was nice to meet you,
we have to go now.
We are going home now!
Hey missis, we're in the middle
of something. -
Stefi is 15! And she's not
in the middle of anything here!
In India, they have kids at 15!
You coming?
But ok, she'll be home by sunrise,
good God.
Fucking hell!
Leave me alone.
Take him away!
Wow!
Look who's here!
Good evening!
Your ID, please.
Let go of me!
Why are you sitting here?
You don't have to guard me.
One of these jerks is my son.
Paul, 17.
Stefi is just 15.
One of the girls there is 13.
Maybe younger.
And guess where she's from?
From hundreds of miles away.
Do you imagine, they run off their
homes, hitchhike through the country
in order to hang with these dickwits
in some stinky tunnel.
How do they get acquainted?
- In the web
They do everything in the web.
Get drugs, sex, friends...
But from home they run off for real.
Unpunishable troop of monkeys.
That redhead... Who is she?
Mariann?
A tough chick.
The main string-puller,
She has twisted my Paul very well
around her finger.
| don't know how, but | suggest
you must cut this thing off.
Before it's too late.
Hang on.
Take the other side.
- What happened?
Where did you find her?
- I'll tell you later
Go get a washbowl.
I'm not a baby!
What are you...
Let's go to the other room.
Mariann: Everything ok?
PS. You have wicked ( )v( )
Stefi, what are you doing?
Easy! Easy!
Kaarel!
No!
Kaarel!
No! Kaarel!
Kaarel, come and help!
Stefi! Let go!
Come here.
We managed to stabilize her.
Your girl had quite a cocktail
in her system.
We can't keep pace
with these street chemists.
| think she took something at home, too.
What and how much?
| didn't have time to check.
Okey then.
We'll recheck the labs once more.
But anyway, we'll rinse
her clean this time
and keep her here
for at least couple of days.
But can't you take her in
for a longer period?
To a closed department.
No, that's out of question right now.
Kaarel!
Please wait!
Let's travel somewhere.
| don't know. Somewhere warm.
We have to cut it off
before it's too late.
I've always told you, let's travel
somewhere, together.
It has never suited you.
It's emergency.
- She won't come with us.
Not voluntarily anyway.
Hello.
- Well, hello.
We didn't get to it last time.
I'm Helena. - Priit.
How do you think can | help?
Everything has been tried out with Paul.
Therapy, shock imprisonment,
special school, madhouse...
Both police and the suits in parliament
have tried to get rid of this mob.
All these jerks
should be thrown to jail.
Every one on a different island.
1000 km of shark infested waters
between them, than it may work.
| sure would help if | knew how.
Believe me.
Can you stand up for me?
Lets try to stand up. Good.
Let's get out of here.
When she gets out of here,
everything will start all over.
| need some time.
We can't keep her here
after this weekend.
It's too early.
- Yes, but...
It can't be helped. Her readings are
fine and we don't treat heads here.
For sale.
You said yourself
that it has to be cut off.
Okay, how do you mean to do it?
You do realise that
it's absolutely forbidden?
It's criminal.
Do you have any other plan?
A plan of actions.
Not just endless discussions.
You do know...
- | need your help.
I'm a policeman.
- Exactly.
And a father.
Have you lost your mind?
| can't help you, | just can't.
| am not allowed!
At last, you look, like, super cool.
Like a serious player.
Don't cough, darling.
Hey, and this lingerie
suits you fully well
Let's not do it.
Don't be so shy.
You are both so cute there.
You wanted to show your mother
her right place.
Just think how much she's ready
to pay for this not to be published.
And think what we could have
for all this cash.
| mean, really. | don't want to.
- Stop whining.
For real, you're whining 24/7.
We had an agreement, right?
I'm trying to do you good.
| have given you clothes,
taken you with me to places,
you've found shitload of friends
just thanks to me.
And you arent even grateful for that.
Do you think all this party is for free?
Fucking funny!
But | didn't know it will go that far -
Hey, | don't want to be your friend
anymore if you're like this.
| didn't mean it like that.
- Listen!
You show this to your mommy and daddy,
Or | publish it on the web.
Got it?
Stefi!
Get dressed, we're going home.
Everything will be alright,
don't worry.
| promise.
We have checked the hospital...
- You are the professionals!
You have to find her. Take a dog.
Let it pick up scent.
Don't worry. The professionals
are working as we speak.
We have done all this.
Now we just need to understand
whether she is lost or ran away.
- What does it matter?
Lost or ran away!
She needs to be found.
What matters is whether
there's a threat to her life.
Or is she hiding,
wanting not to be found.
It's very hard to search for a person
wanting not to be found. You know that.
But who's responsible when
someone just disappears from hospital?
Hospital is not prison!
No one is being held there.
She was supposed
to be sent home tomorrow!
It very much seems
that she didn't want to go home.
What?
Don't you dare to say that!
Let's proceed as we normally do.
You call to her friends, acquaintances,
search the web.
And we keep on searching.
Did you bring the photo?
Why am | here?
What are you doing?
Drinking water
is in the little green jug.
You can do your business on the bucket
in the corner. Close the lid afterwards.
What are you talking about?
What is this place anyway?
You don't recognise?
It's Nana's old house.
We haven't been here for a long time.
Are you out of your mind?
Seriously, I'm scared.
Nothing to be scared of here.
| have prepared everything.
No one knows you are here.
I'll come to visit you every day.
| promise.
What do you mean, every day?
You were right.
We should have traveled somewhere.
No, that wasn't...
That wasn't a good plan.
I'm so tired.
| don't understand a thing anymore.
With Sannu, it's all clear.
What works and what doesn't.
What shall we tell to the boy?
The truth.
Help!
We don't know what the truth is here.
Are all the girls like that?
Difficult.
Help!
| don't know.
| wasn't.
Didn't have the luxury.
For how long do you mean
to accuse your mother in everything?
Forever.
Let me go!
It's my fault.
How come?
- You didn't want to have children.
You said you don't know how to be
a mother. | didn't believe you.
I'm glad you didn't.
So what shall we do now?
We wait.
You wait here, please!
I dont understand why we are here?
Someone saw a strangely dressed girl
here yesterday -
in her slippers.
Listen, please keep an eye on him.
At least drink something.
Even famous hunger strikers
drink water.
A couple of days more
and I'll put an IV drip on you.
Forcefully, if needed.
| hate you!
For real.
Till the end of my life.
I'll never forgive you.
- | can live with that.
Your hatred.
At least you're alive.
| know where you are.
Hello.
So how's it going?
Good.
| heard that Stefi went missing.
So you... You managed
to pull it through.
Do you want to come and see?
- No...
No, | believe... | prefer to believe
you know what you're doing.
In fact, | wanted to say that...
That you don't have to worry about me.
| won't tell anyone.
| promise.
Thanks.
Does your husband know?
For how long do you mean
to keep her here?
How's Paul doing?
Same old. As soon as he got out,
he disappeared.
Would you like some coffee?
Some other time maybe.
| heard the sound of a car.
It was Priit.
- Priit who?
Paul's father.
The policeman?
What did he want?
Is he involved in this, too?
Do father and Sannu know?
| don't think father would ever agree
on anything like this. Or does he?
Of course not.
Stefi...
But why isn't anyone looking for me?
So no one cares about where | am?
Go away.
Go away.
What are you doing?
- Please switch that out, too.
Why?
| think Stefi won't come
because of us.
She just doesn't like us anymore.
If she'd think we're not home,
maybe she would come.
She will come.
She always does, doesn't she?
| just want her to be as she used to.
For how long do you mean
to keep me here?
| really don't know.
- Fucking hell.
Don't swear, it doesn't suit you.
- 1 don't get what do you want.
| can't let you to just disappear again.
Or hurt yourself again.
Why not?
I'm nothing but trouble, right?
You think I'm doing everything wrong.
- Darling...
I've tried to please you
for all my life.
| danced, | played piano...
But you managed to come
to listen me playing just once.
Bravo!
Well done.
Dad was always there.
Other moms were present every time.
Once, the teacher gave me
woolen slippers she had knitted
and said, you poor thing,
it seems you don't have a mom.
She shouldn't have said that.
But she was right.
Then | thought, okay...
Let's see what happens if | do
everything the other way round.
Do you really think | cut myself
because | seriously had no will to live?
So I'm right.
- What do you mean?
You do all this to hurt me.
To punish me.
You still don't get it.
You still don't.
Fucking hell.
Stefi!
Put it on.
My tummy aches.
When your tummy aches,
we need to go to see the doctor.
We do know what it's all about.
But this is exactly why
you must go to school right now.
| can't go to school
when you do nothing!
Hello. Is Stef home?
Hello! We came to see Stef.
Is she still ill?
We could cheer her up or something.
Where is she?
How should | know?
You are her new best friends.
Hold on, is she really missing?
We were absolutely sure it was
missis Doctor's clever media spin.
After we visited Stefi at the hospital.
What...
Stefi didn't tell or what?
To fuck on me like that!
Okay then.
We have something
that Stef should pay some cash.
500 and everything is forgotten.
You see, your Stefi
has a load of hidden talent.
That, I'm afraid, do not make
mommy and daddy happy.
What are you talking about?
Get out! - Calm down, oldie.
You know what relaxes the stiff
dull-asses like you the best?
A proper young man's cock!
Front, back and mouth.
- Hey, let's go!
Excuse us. Greetings to Stef,
tell her we're waiting.
Hey, you're not bad at all.
Paul, come!
She came back?
No.
Sannu said that's the redhead.
Did they know something about her?
- No.
Why did they come then?
- To look for her.
To look for her?
Something here does not add up.
The police can't find her.
These guys also don't know where she is.
| hoped she's with them...
Something is fundamentally wrong.
We have to tell the police immediately
that they were here.
Yeah.
So let's go!
- Of course. We have to.
I'll wait for you downstairs.
Sannu is in the car.
Did you even hear what | said?
You go there yourself.
I'll stay at home.
Just in case.
Well?
You're late today.
Im hungry already.
I'll make some right away.
Is that mom?
Where are we anyway?
Daddy! | should be at school!
What did he look like?
- Who?
Well, Paul, of course.
You texted that you saw him.
| don't think anyone is ready
for something like this.
Paul had the vegetable phase first.
He was so apathetic you had
to pinch him to see if he's breathing.
And then...
Then acne appeared
and next moment, he wanted
to blow up himself and the whole world.
He lived few weeks with me
and few weeks with his mother
Didn't have a proper home. | told him
to live with me permanently,
but my ex wouldn't agree.
Then she had two kids in a row
with some new jerk
and Paul lost ground completely.
Didn't sleep, wetted his bed at night.
Wait. Let me...
And then he didn't come home
for the first time.
The first time, it's like with sex.
Meaning that the first time
your child is missing is the worst.
It starts to haunt you.
Where were you?
What do you mean?
| called you several times.
Busy shift.
We have to go to school tomorrow.
The witnesses say
that Sander punched and kicked,
pulled hair and caused serious injuries.
| don't get it. To whom?
To a higher grade pupil.
| can't mention any names.
Sander has never
fought with anyone. Never.
Yes, that was the first time
here at school, too.
You did investigate the reason,
didn't you?
I'm afraid Sander is not willing
to explain why he did this.
You can't spend the rest of your life
under this blanket. Why'd you hit him?
What happened?
- Go away!
Come out...
- Go away!
Sander, it will pass...
- | don't want you here.
Everything will pass.
Nothing will ever pass in the Internet.
| can never go to school normally again.
Fucking slut!
- Language!
That's how they call her!
They made me to watch it.
- What?
The video.
- What video?
The video about Stefi!
About Stefi?
- Yeah!
What did she do there?
- Well...
Darling, you are worried already
or what?
Don't say you'll get cold feet.
- No...
Do you want a candy to encourage you?
What is it?
- Take it!
Who cares? You'll be all swell.
Here, wash it down with this.
Trust me.
You see? Once more.
Good girl!
But hey, show me your tits.
Show me! I'll help you.
My god how hot!
You have super nice tits!
Paul has a boner already, believe me.
He has it hard as rock. His penis.
Paul, come here!
You two are fucking perfect match!
Totally insane!
Paul, you do know how to please a girl.
| taught you, right?
Ok, stand closer.
It's mega nice to have sex!
Just like this, all of a sudden.
Dont touch me.
You go home! Go! Go!
Police will be here right now.
What the fuck are you doing, old slut?
What have you done, you crazy!
Why did you let it happen to you?
Tell me!
| just wanted to.
| can't understand why?
| can't understand
what's the big deal?
The whole world will see it!
Your father and your brother
had to watch it!
So what?
That's good.
I'm 15 and | can fuck whoever | want to.
- Stop it, Stefi!
What business is it yours
whom | show my tits and twat?
| gave birth to you.
Should not have done it.
| know you didn't want to have me.
By the way, that Mariann
came to look for you.
With her minions.
She's asking money for your performance.
Yes, nothing more than money.
- You're just envious!
You're just a frigid old bat.
And you can't believe
that someone could really like me.
| really like you!
| really love you.
Dont ... dont say its too late, Stef.
You haven't been to home at all?
What time is it?
The shift is starting.
It's all a total madness, isn't it?
| have spoiled everything.
Broken everything.
You are mending things now.
| believe everything can be mended.
You talk about your issues here and...
Sorry.
No, you are very...
You're doing very well.
| admire you.
| should have done the same
a while ago.
The girl will thank you for that
one day.
Our tech department established
that his video...
It's made a couple of weeks ago.
And IP address does not reveal anything.
They have covered
their tracks very well.
So the best lead so far is the pond.
Unfortunately.
But the ice is too thick now.
I'll check if our psychologist
can talk to you right now.
Please wait here.
| have to tell you something.
Not now.
| can't hide it any longer.
| may have done something very stupid.
You should know, it would be...
- Not now!
16 years. It's a long time.
Very long.
Happens to everyone.
At the moment,
we're dealing with our daughter.
| beg you.
When you were born...
You were so tiny.
Like Thumbelina.
When they handed you to me,
| felt this...
The greatest love in the world.
One that hurts terribly.
As a child, | was alone all the time.
| woke up alone.
Made myself a sandwich.
Cooked my own macaroni.
No one told me to be home by eight.
Because my beautiful and smart Nana
was convinced that | should
know myself how to live my life.
| had already had an abortion.
Secretly from your father.
But you didn't give up and came again.
| thought you do not sense it.
| hoped you wouldn't.
| hoped that...
That when | just do everything
the other way round like Nana, you won't notice.
But you felt right away
that something's rotten.
You didn't settle for this
halfway option.
And I'm grateful to you for that.
Very grateful.
Having you was not a mistake,
but the greatest success of my life.
Alright.
| apologise for all that.
Forgive me.
If...
Hello, Mrs Doctor.
Glad to see you.
So this is where you hide yourself.
Quite cosy.
Some party here or what?
How did you like our little film?
Stefi thought you're her friend.
But | am.
More than a friend.
Disgusting bastard.
Keep your Stef to yourself.
We don't give a fuck. But what you saw
was an innocent introduction
so you dickhead would get
that we're not bluffing.
Next time, there will be juicier stuff.
Want some?
And the deal is 500 for the last one,
plus 500 interest.
And you pay 1000 for us
not uploading the rest of it.
Shitheads!
Well, want some more?
Oris it clear now?
What are you doing, Paul?
Calm down!
- Let me go!
Do what you are told, you fuck!
Then why is she like that!
Calm down, Paul!
Stop it.
Mom!
Mom, do you hear me?
Mom!
Mom, please answer me.
Get the fuck out of here!
Move it!
Idiot!
Fucking Van Damme!
In fact, Stefi is lucky to have you.
Respect in that sense.
My Mrs Mom gave up long ago.
Mom!
Mom!
Please, open the door!
Mom!
I'm here! Please, open the door!
I'm scared already, | mean it!!
Mom!
Why didn't you answer?
| didn't know if you...
You shouldn't do like that.
- No | shouldn't.
| wouldn't have never believed that
you stood up for me like that.
We should call the police.
There is no point.
- Stefi...
You don't have to protect her.
I'm so stupid.
I've ruined everything.
No, Stefi.
Your life is just beginning.
It was just a small mistake, a lesson.
You'll get over it and just keep on living.
Do you hear me?
Just keep on living.
You're not asleep.
Shall we go home now?
I'd like to be here for some time.
Everything will be alright.
Where have you been?
What happened?
Do we have some cash at home?
What?
- | need some money.
We have what's stashed
in the encyclopaedia.
Do you want to tell me something?
I'll settle this first and tell then.
You settle what?
| think we should go
to the police right now.
Why?
- Your brow is slit.
It's my own fault.
Your fault or not, but if that fucking
cop did something to you, I...
What are you talking about?
- | saw you!
Well?
Where is she?
Here.
My god!
- She has been here.
All this time.
| kidnapped her from the hospital
and locked up here.
Have you lost your mind?
| had to do something.
Had to protect her somehow.
Okay.
What was the cop doing here?
Priit just helped me.
Helped you by slapping your face?
No, it wasn't like that.
You let me and Sannu
to worry ourselves sick!
I'm sorry.
So where is she?
Where is my daughter?
Tell me!
Look around! Stefi is not here!
She is missing.
Shes missing!
Has been missing for two weeks!
Stefi's not missing, | have
brought her food every day.
| fed her every day.
She was just here!
| embraced her.
Our daughter is in the bottom
of this pond! Under the ice!
Do you get it?
It's our fault! Yours and mine
fucking fault!
Shut up!
Shut up right now!
Can | go inside now?
| want to see Stefi, too.
| want to see Stefi, too.
Dad, what are you doing?
Stefi,
get dressed,
we're going home.
Where the hell are you?
Where are you?
Everything will be alright.
You'll see.
Everything will be alright.
Don't worry.
Everything will be alright.
| promise.
Mom, do you hear me?
Everything will be alright.
| promise.
