Rocio!
Hello. I'm Giselle.
I heard you singing in the market.
Remember?
Yes.
Wow...
You're even prettier than I remember.
Is your daddy home?
OK. OK.
Mister Aguilar?
Yes.
Giselle.
Founder of “Discover Your Dreams”.
Nice to meet you.
I'd love to steal five minutes of your time.
I believe Rocio may have the talent to be in the entertainment business.
But of course,
you'd need to bring her to our annual audition tomorrow.
If I were you, I'd convince him.
And who is this cutie?
Is he your little brother?
Yes.
What's your name?
No.
No stage-fathers allowed.
But pick-up is at 7 p.IN. Sharp.
- Okay. - Bye, daddy.
Bye, sweetie.
Give me a hug.
See you later, okay?
Take good care of them.
Don't worry.
Yeah. Let's see a cute smile.
Let's fix something. Your hair like this.
Yeah, you look like a star.
He's in.
He's uploading.
If he logs out
we can kiss the max sentence goodbye.
It's messed up world, man.
You know, I've been to a lot
of murder scenes.
This shit's different.
Like, as soon as I lay down
all I see are those kids faces.
I don't think I can do this job. Tim.
Let me ask you something.
How many pedophiles, you caught?
as of today,
288, not so bad.
How many kids you found?
It is a high probability
that most of those kids are outside of the US, Chris.
So our job,
is to get the pedophiles.
And that's it?
It's a messed up world, right
Hello, Mr. Oshinsky
I'm Agent Ballard.
I'm in charge of your case.
Everybody's gone home for the weekend,
So it's just the two of us.
How about we grab some fresh air?
Come on, put your shoes on.
I really feel connected to you.
Like maybe you'll understand.
But I need to know.
Can I trust you?
See, part of my job,
is looking
at everything.
You tell me how I'm supposed to gaze
at so much beauty,
without...
being drawn to it?
Without wanting it.
You want me to believe you're one of us?
You think I'm that stupid?
"Only the courageous act.
The rest are tyrannized
by a legal system, made by cowardly men
who cannot admit their true desires."
End quote.
So what?
You read my book.
I studied your book
Daddy's home!
Okay, everybody. Come on.
You gotta clear your plates now.
You're gonna be late. Let's go. Come on.
Are you okay?
Come on, Tim.
What's going on?
Just give me a week,
please.
That's all I'm asking.
One week.
Mr. Oshinsky...
Time to go home.
Bottom line, they've got you.
20 to 30, conservative.
But here's the thing...
Whatever they build up against you --
I'll knock down.
That's my job.
But,...
here's the thing I need...
I need a real one.
I don't act on my fantasies.
What about that trip you took last year?
The one out of Cartagena?
The "Butterfly Cruise".
Come on.
I need this, my friend.
Almost as bad as you do.
But I already have three copies.
Not like this.
There's an inscription on the inside.
Just for you.
"To the bravest man I know.
Though I didn't know it at the time."
So Sweet.
Flip the page.
His name is Teddy Bear.
My God, he's so little.
Yeah.
This time tomorrow,
that little boy
is gonna be yours for the whole weekend.
"Better a millstone
be hung around your neck
and you be cast into the sea
than that you should
ever hurt for one of these little ones."
What does that mean?
You're under arrest for crimes against children.
I trusted you.
Never trust a pedophile.
Line six.
Is there some kind of problem officer?
Oh, yeah, that... that's an old picture.
You know kids are these days.
They just grow up so fast.
That's him.
No, no, no, I'm his uncle.
I'm his uncle, you just ask him
Hello.
What's your name?
Teddy Bear.
No, not that name.
Your real name.
Miguel.
Miguel Aguilar.
Nice to meet you, Miguel.
Come with me.
Why don't you go right over there?
okay?
He has lacerations
consistent with ***ual abuse.
It's only three or four days old.
That's a Mustang.
That's a very fast car.
I'm hungry.
Wanna get a burger?
Let me guess.
You're seven and a half.
Is it April?
No. It's July. July 12. Why?
Then I'm eight.
I've got a son just your age.
His name's Kalen.
And I'm Tim.
Tim Ballard.
But you can call me Timoteo.
Timoteo?
That's my name in Spanish, right?
It has your name on it.
My sister gave it to me.
You rescue children, right?
Maybe you can help me find her.
Where is your sister?
The beach is the perfect spot for a photo shoot.
You like the beach, right?
Yes!
Simba? What's wrong?
My name is not Simba.
Well… From now on, it is.
Ma'am? But my papa doesn't know.
Your papa knows.
On your feet. Come down, come down.
Let's go.
Go.
Go, go. Go inside!
No! Where are you taking us? Please, take us home!
Shut up or you'll get a beating.
No, please! Help us, please.
Help! Please!
Get us out of here!
And where did they take you?
What do you see?
Four men.
Are they nice men?
Why are you giving me this? Dad gave it to you.
It's yours now. Don't lose it.
Stand up! Get in a line! Now!
Stand up! Come here! In line, standing up.
They're ready Amigo, you pick.
That one there.
No! No! No!
- Come. - No.
- Don't take him! No! - Come, come, come!
These are good for when he wake up.
Alright now, Fuego. Don't party too much.
Want another one?
Here's the deal:
I can help you, but you need to help me too.
If you don't help me,
the bad men...
will find out and they will kill your sister.
No, no, don't worry.
Just do what I say,
and your sister will be fine.
Promise me you'll do whatever I tell you.
Okay?
Come on, eat, eat up.
Eat, eat.
Ever flown in an airplane?
No?
Captain Miguel, with the stars.
You gonna love it.
You just gonna really love it.
Teddy Bear.
Do you like it?
“Teddy Bear.”
Teddy Bear. I like it. We're gonna call you Teddy Bear.
How long you were with her?
A week? A month?
A long time...
Mister Timoteo?
Yes?
Will they hurt my sister now?
I promise...
they will never find out what you told me.
I promise.
We don't know for certain,
but we think he spent about...
three months in Tijuana.
You're a father.
Yes.
May I?
Could you sleep at night knowing that one of your children's beds...
is empty?
She's just Miranda's age.
Imagine walking into her room right now...
Seeing an empty bed.
What would we do?
Please keep this.
No, it's yours.
Please.
You're gonna rot in jail, Earl,
the only question is which one?
And normally I'd extradite your ***
straight to Colombia.
There you'd be raped every day,
have your balls cut off.
Which quite frankly you deserve.
Or you can tell me what I need to know,
and stay in the U.S.
Get this to our embassy in Columbia as soon as
possible and set me up for another call with
the national police.
Got it.
Captain Jorge? I'm good, thank you. Hey, I...
Rocio Aguilar.
The boy's sister.
Now pull-up on the reins here, son --
we're going to hand this case to the prosecution,
and we're gonna let the Colombians mop-up Colombia.
Which means she'll disappear, sir.
For good.
We're Homeland Security,
you know we can't go off rescuing
Honduran kids in Colombia.
Look, the boy's back with his father --
that's a career-capper, take it and move on.
I can't.
I don't...
think you understand what I'm asking you.
See ah...
This job tears you to pieces.
And this is...
my one chance to put those pieces back together.
I suppose I could tell DC that you're...
You're going down there to have a "training seminar".
Fund it out of discretionary.
Keep it under ten grand.
Honey...
Hey...
Welcome to Cartagena.
Mucho gusto.
So, I took the liberty of sending your report
to a "non-police" type.
And he came back with a lead.
Welcome to his office.
Hey, Mami! Keep an eye on my Ferrari.
Okay.
There are two things you should know about Vampiro.
He ran the Cali cartel's money-laundering operations
in the nineties.
He did time in prison.
And the second thing: He buys children.
And then he sets them free.
He puts these kids in safe houses.
He gives them a new chance at life.
Vampiro!
Some ground-rules, Timoteo.
Don't ever step into my office again looking like
you just walked out of a friggin'
Banana Republic ad.
Hm?
Save that for Bogotá, man.
This is Cartagena.
It's a beach town, a party town.
Lighten up.
Jorge,
guy's down here looking for a little pedo-action,
what's he wear?
Chancletas, flip-flops, T-shirt.
Exactly. What I need to see
is some horny hung-over rich American,
stinking of beer,
crawling out of a big honking automobile.
Rent something obnoxious.
And black.
And now Timoteo, the kid.
Miguel.
He's back with his father, huh?
Yes.
How did that make you feel?
Giving a child his freedom?
Felt good.
Like, "back-rub" good, or "chicken-wings" good?
What kind of good are we talking about here?
The kind that gives hope.
Come on, amigo.
You've been at this for 12 years.
Why are you doing it?
Because God's children are not for sale.
That is why I am giving you my Friday night.
And the plan unfolds.
Now the sister, the pretty one,
What's her name?
Rocio.
As of this moment,
she could be a block down the road,
or she could be in Moscow, Bangkok, L.A.
And yes,
I do know an young attractive woman
who matches your "Giselle".
Major operator, runs 10, 15 kids.
Sources her children out of Central America,
so she doesn't have to deal with the Colombian cops.
Lures them in with her looks,
promises the sun and the moon...
a month later,
they're turning five, six tricks a night.
You got a photo?
That's the easy part.
Meet Miss Cartagena.
A verifiable beauty queen.
Her name's Katty Juarez.
She's clean,
not even a parking ticket in the colonial area.
No record of leaving Colombia since she was 12.
Set me up on a date.
Tell Miss Cartagena
you got a horny, hung-over, rich, American
looking for a little pedo-action.
You don't just set up a date with Katty Juarez.
She only deals with street traffickers,
people she knows, old friends.
She keeps her nails very clean.
That is a tough marlin to hook.
AMERICAN EXECUTIVE RAN CHILD *** CLUB IN THAILAND
Guy was making close to a quarter million a month.
Who's this?
You said that Katie has about 15-20 kids, right?
Scattered all over Cartagena?
Probably some in Cali, Medellin?
Timoteo?
So Rocio could be anywhere.
But what if we needed all those kids?
I don't understand, amigo.
You ever heard of Club Bangkok?
It's a members-only club full of rich perverts,
jet-setters, CEO's. It's a high-end facility,
stocked 24/7 with a hundred kids.
And who supplied them?
A bunch of *** traffickers who got greedy.
If they can build one in Bangkok
why can't we build one here?
You wanna build a high-end *** hotel?
Yes I do.
And I found just the right investor.
Pablo Delgado -- runs a four billion dollar
real estate development company, with holdings
all over the world.
He loves to play cop.
We've already used him on two separate missions,
he eats this stuff up.
That's the look, my friend.
And he can build a *** hotel
anywhere he wants.
you know someone who can bring a deal like this
to the marketplace?
Hi, love.
Hello, pretty.
Calacas!
Vampiro!
Where is your horny friend?
Change of plans.
Put on a bow tie.
We're going to the classy part of town.
This is sweet.
Like the old days.
Wow! This guy knows how to party.
That's it, amigo.
No more aguardiente.
I think I may have to expand your mind
to an entirely new reality.
Okay.
These gentlemen want to build
a one of a kind,
members-only club near Cartagena.
Annual fee:
one hundred grand per member.
They take care of the facility
we take care of the talent.
And the members,
they get a world-class resort
with full access to models, 24/7,
all-you-can-eat.
Live-in models. Young ones.
How young?
Shock me.
Which one is this?
El Calacas.
He used to deliver escorts for Escobar.
He sold me a chicken last year,
9 years old.
And she was...
Nine legit or a 15 year-old with pigtails?
I deal in pure cocaine, papi...
So how many chickens do you want?
For starters,
50 or 60.
Minimum.
Go big or go home. Right?
I think your amigo ate the worm.
I think he just sobered up.
That's a lot of chickens, papi.
No one can do that alone.
I'm not asking you if you can do it alone.
I'm just asking if you can do it.
...plus five support agents for a month in-country,
the penthouse in Bogota,
the mansion in Cartagena, on and on,
and yet somehow...
somehow, you have failed to bring me
one real-world lead,
or one American child, or one American trafficker,
or one reason DC would let you within a million
miles of this, and a bunch of glamor shots
of Miss Cartagena don't count!
She has the girl.
And I say the girl is in Russia.
Prove me wrong.
It's over, Tim.
Close up,
get on a plane and
come back home.
Bureaucracy is shit.
This is why I operate black.
Have a nice flight, Timoteo.
You were a cartel guy...
Yeah.
Kept your mouth shut, did your time.
Could've picked up where you left off,
bought yourself a condo on the beach.
Instead you're doing this. Why?
Really?
I had that condo on the beach.
Fifteenth floor, marble everything,
overlooking the whole bay.
First night out of jail I slept in my own bed.
Day two, I was back in business,
same old life.
But it doesn't feel right --
not the drugs, not the hookers.
But dammit if I didn't keep trying...
So one night
I'm leaving a bar all jacked up on coca
and I notice this young girl on the corner.
Fine looking, maybe 20, 25.
I take her up to my place, do the deed, pay the bill.
She's putting on her shoes,
and I notice something.
I notice her foot.
She's got these little
pink cat faces painted on her toenails.
And it hit me.
She's not 25.
Then she glances up and our eyes connect.
And
it was like I was granted a glimpse into her soul,
and all I saw was sadness...
Out of nowhere she starts talking.
Turns out she's not 25. Not even 20.
This girl is 14 years old, Timoteo.
She's been doing this since she was six.
Looks at me,
smiles,
takes the money,
walks out the door.
All of a sudden I'm hit by this tidal wave,
this tsunami of darkness,
and I know
I'm the sadness in her eyes. Me.
I'm the darkness.
And I know
the darkness has to die.
So I get my 45.
Put it to my head.
Put my finger on the trigger.
Now if there's a time to ask if God exists,
that would be it.
So I did.
When God tells you what to do,
you cannot hesitate.
So you've thought of that...
of doing it on your own?
I won't be on my own.
I just have to convince Pablo.
Okay.
So you quit your job
and you go and rescue these kids.
My resignation's in your box.
Wait. You do realize
you're ten months away from vesting your pension.
I do.
You know I did everything I could,
but the law is the law.
Did you know that were over 22 million
new images of child ****ography
on the web this past year?
That's a five thousand percent
increase over the past five years.
Five thousand percent.
The fact is
it is the fastest growing international crime network
that the world has ever seen.
I agreed to it because we were working
with the U.S. government.
If you back out now this whole thing will blow!
It has already passed the illegal arms trade.
And soon it's gonna pass the drug trade.
You Wanna know why?
Because you can sell a bag of cocaine one time.
But a child, the most precious child...
You can sell a five year-old kid
five to ten times a day
for ten years straight!
And everyday ordinary people
don't want to hear it,
it's too ugly for polite conversation,
but meanwhile over two million children a year
are being sucked into the deepest recesses of hell.
Trust me, man. If we do nothing,
their pain is gonna spread and spread
till some day it's gonna reach the likes of you.
And that will be a nightmare
that you never gonna wake up from.
I'm sorry.
Sir, the gentleman who just left
asked me to give you this.
Jorge found us a property on Cartagena Bay.
It's a private island confiscated
by the Colombian government.
Here's some intel on that.
The palapa will be located here.
The traffickers will arrive up here...
So what do you think?
2.6 Not bad, huh?
So let's go meet him in Bogota
and get him excited.
My love…
Pablo Delgado. Nice to meet you.
Better?
Too stiff.
Loosen up!
If you don't know what to say,
just don't say anything at all.
Silence.
Don't forget to smile.
I forgot.
Loosen up! Loosen up!
My love...
My love…
Pablo Delgado. A pleasure.
Yeah. I don't know about the kiss.
Welcome. Beware of your heads.
My soul brother, let me introduce Katty.
Katty, this is the man that's gonna make
your dreams come true. Pablo.
A pleasure.
Gentlemen...
Adolfo.
Don Fuego.
You know El Calacas.
Extravagant.
Who would like a drink?
We've got fourteen members
showing up for the "Kick-Off Party," plus
a dozen prospects.
And we would like all our talent on site,
rested, tested and ready to rock
the day before the first guest arrives.
Absolutely.
So
how many can you deliver?
You asked for 50.
At least that,
more if you're lucky.
Tell me, amor...
What do you like?
Depends on the mood.
The pretty boy is horny!
Just deliver no less than 50 models.
And you will leave the island...
with 100 grand
Cheers.
Cheers, hermanos.
Cheers.
Ok, it's handled...
you have the support of our Embassy in Colombia,
One of our guys will track the raid
in case you need any legal back-up.
Hey Tim,
I hope you find her.
For you, papi.
Gracias.
Negotiation is over there.
I want the kids back here,
as far away from the traffickers as possible...
They didn't bring all the kids.
It doesn't surprise me.
It gotta be less than 30.
Let's go. Quick, so you don't get wet.
Remember, it's a party.
This is beautiful.
You keeping the rest of the talent
in the glove compartment?
They'll be here soon.
I died...
and went to heaven.
This is a paradise.
Osorio Rodriguez.
But my friends call me Carne.
Carne is our lawyer.
He got good friends at the borders.
He's our Don King, papi.
No, no, no, no, no.
No Don King.
I like to get in the ring.
Get happy. Cheer up, cheer up.
Tenacious. Love him.
That's it.
Excuse me. Want more?
And what's plan B?
We wait.
We're not gonna lose the kids in the other boat.
Rocio must be with them.
Jorge, listen to me.
When you land,
take their fat bulldog and get him off the island,
keep him separate and no handcuffs.
No, no, no, no, no. Sorry. He's mine.
Choose another.
You're joking, right?
You know where is the most
dangerous place in Colombia?
Between me
and my chicken.
You're a real big man, huh?
I can kill you without a glance.
Respect me, ***hole!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Brother…
Give the man what he wants.
Carne, tell your fathead goon to put this gun away.
Alright.
Come on, guys.
Let's have a drink, huh?
Hey,
you'll have all afternoon in that damn bungalow.
Now! Green light…
Hurray! Finally arrived!
Come, come.
Let's go to the party.
Stop! Hands up! Nobody moves!
I'm victim! I'm victim!
On the ground! On the ground!
- On the ground! On the ground! - Calm, calm!
Who set us up?
Shut up!
Your Don King?
Leave him with me.
Fifty four kids.
Did you get their names?
Rocio?
I'm sorry, Tim.
But we rescued 54.
Uncuff them.
Hear that?
That's the sound of freedom.
I hear it.
Come here.
Come here, son.
Do you know what happens to pedophiles in cell 142?
Just ask your friend Carne.
Okay, okay! Okay, you ***hole, okay!
Okay?
Okay, what?
***hole, what?
The Scorpion.
Hm.
Little princess...
It's time you make me some real money.
Fuego handed her off here.
At a village on the Guáitara River.
South of that river, it's all rebel territory.
No one goes in.
Not the army, not the police.
Not us.
What?
That's it?
You're talking about extracting
an 11 year-old girl from unknown terrain.
So?
It's controlled by an army of rebels!
Right.
Forget about what could happen to us!
She could be killed too...
Tim.
What if this was your daughter, Jorge.
Sorry, man. She's gone.
She got sold to the wrong guy!
Unless that guy needs our help.
I remember hearing about a groups
that could sweet-talk their way into those areas.
Medical folks,
treating cholera, malaria, dengue fever.
Makes me wonder
if there's any epidemics
going around the mountains these days.
Put up your hand.
What?
I said "put up your hand".
These gringos.
Now you're a doctor.
Moving up in life.
Tim!
I got orders.
I can go as far as the river.
No further.
When you get on that water,
you're on your own.
Do me a favor.
Keep these with you.
GPS?
You can keep it in your wallet or...
I don't know, inject it.
So you can locate our bodies, hm?
Gracias.
Hey, Timoteo...
If things go south tomorrow,
which is not particularly unlikely,
there's no Marine unit coming.
We're done.
Hey.
Take this.
I'll feel safer.
I think I'll be better off without it.
I hope we get a warm welcome.
We're doctors.
Don't shoot.
Don't shoot. Don't...
Get down! Are you out of your mind?
We're doctors. Don't shoot.
Get down! Get down!
We're doctors from the United Nations.
Down, down!
Lay down! Don't look at me.
Doctors from the United Nations.
Shut up!
Easy, easy!
What do they have?
Vaccines. They're clean.
Alacran? Alacran, copy?
It seems they're just vaccines.
Okay, boss.
Why the hell are you looking at me?
Just one of you will come with us.
Who?
- Who's coming? - Easy, easy.
Me, here.
The vaccines.
Pass them to me.
Come on.
Come on. Help him!
Yes. Easy.
If I come back in the dark, be ready to run.
What are you talking about?
Do you want your *** full of lead?
No.
Let's go.
What's happening?
He's on his own.
Boss!
Keep moving.
You got some cojones coming here, amigo.
The cholera must be bad.
There are cases in Leticia,
San Gil, and it can spread like wildfire.
So with your permission
I'd like to take the rest of the evening to
look for anyone
who might need our immediate attention.
If I do -- God forbid --
we'll have to evacuate them immediately.
It's the only way to make sure the cholera
doesn't spread.
Evacuate?
Yes. It's just our protocol.
Yeah, yeah.
If you find sick people --
God forbid --
you bring them to me.
My protocol.
Rocio!
Rocio Aguilar!
I came here… I came here to help you.
Come here.
Oh, shit!
You need… You need…
I need you to tell me where you sleep.
In which house?
Oh look.
There you are.
Is this one sick?
No, no, no. They're fine. She's fine.
Come on, come on! Get back to work.
Come on.
Take the gringo to check my boys.
Okay.
Ei, amigo.
Let's go, man.
Rocio... Rocio.
No! No!
No! No! No!
Take it.
Take some of this.
This guy doesn't know how to play. Come on. Just take a drink.
I'm gonna check on my little girl.
You need to do exactly what I tell you.
Or they'll kill us both.
Do you understand?
Why did you scream, my child?
A bad dream.
Poor thing.
Don't worry.
go away.
Calm down.
Why are you afraid?
You know I won't hurt you.
That's it.
Close your eyes.
It's time to go home now.
Tu casa.
Vamos.
Boss, boss...
Boss.
Alacran.
Alacran, Alacran!
Checho!
Piranha!
Piranha, Piranha!
Yes, sir?
Check the river.
Yeah, yeah. They took the boat!
Hey!
He's on the move.
Look.
Let's go, let's go.
Go, go, go, go, go.
It's okay, it's okay.
You guys good?
You alright?
yes
Yeah, we're fine.
Rocio. Rocio.
It's me. Your papa.
And your brother, Miguel.
