Original subtitles

(female #1) Darkness breeds darkness.

It hides monsters in closets and under beds.

I used to think closing my eyes and covering my ears

would make them go away.

I used to think..

...a lot of things.

[intense music]

(male #1) 'BB!'

'Come back here, BB!'

You no good piece of crap!

[panting]

'Come back here!'

Before I call them cops after you!

I used to think trafficking didn't really exist..

...or only happened overseas in faraway places.

I don't anymore.

In the land of the free and the home of the brave

slavery was supposed to be abolished

a hundred and fifty years ago..

...but it wasn't really.

It has simply taken on another form.

[sobs]

Aren't you sweet?

- I think I'll call you Sugar. - No! Mommy, no!

No! Mommy, no!

'Mommy, no! Mommy, no!'

'Stop! Why? Mommy!'

'Mommy! Why?'

Darkness.

Monsters.

Trading human beings.

Selling children into sex slavery.

What happened to all men are created equal?

Without these basic human rights

our society, our humanity..

...crumbles.

[intense music]

I know because I've seen it.

I know because I've lived what no one wants to admit is true.

What no one wants to talk about.

The only thing necessary for evil to triumph

is for good men to do nothing.

And we've done nothing.

I...did nothing.

[sobbing]

(male #2) 'Fresh merch!'

'Let's go.'

[screaming]

- Shut up! - 'Let's go.'

- Let's go! - 'You!'

- Hey, let's go! - No, please!

No! Please.

- No! - Let's go.

- 'Come on.' - No! No!

What's up, Sugar?

You remember me?

No! No, no!

Mommy! Let me go!

No! Let me go!

- Let me go! - Don't cry.

- Nobody can save you. - No, stop!

- Walk. Walk. - What are you doing?

Let me go! Where am I?

Right where you need to be. Just walk.

Stop!

Stop! Let me go!

Get in there.

'Now I don't want to hear another word from any of you.'

[door closes]

No one ever wakes up thinking they'll be kidnapped

or grows up wanting to be a prostitute.

This shouldn't happen here..

...but it does..

...everyday and everywhere.

(male #3) 'BB.'

'...you know you're my girl, right?'

Yes, daddy.

[gasps]

[instrumental music]

[sobbing]

I just gotta make sure that everybody knows.

BB! You come back here, BB!

Have you always been this sweet?

[intense music]

That's why they call me Sugar.

[instrumental music]

[thinking] Mommy, no!

Mommy, no! Stop! Mommy! Mommy!

No! Mommy!

We're all human, aren't we?

Every life is worth saving.

♪ Oh eight days ♪

♪ Save.. ♪♪

I can't close my eyes or cover my ears anymore.

Sex trafficking was something I didn't want to know about.

I wish I still didn't

but that doesn't make it go away.

We miss you. Orleans is so fun. You have no idea.

Oh, hey, Reid, come say hi to Amber.

Hi.

Guess who?

Oh, hey.

Hey.

Yeah, um..

...sorry you guys didn't work out.

Have fun with your mom.

[instrumental music]

(female #2) 'Guys, y'all need to get dressed.'

Amber, why aren't you dressed yet?

Because it's spring break, remember?

[Amber sighs] 'Mom, I just..'

I really wanted to go on that class trip.

I saved and I planned.

- I know. - Mom, Luke's hitting me.

- Emily started it. - Take your toys and go, now.

Get dressed.

- 'Great job, Luke.' - Amber, hands up!

Go.

I just.. You don't understand, I just really wanted to go.

- I just.. - Are you..

I'm sorry.. I'm-I'm.. I didn't mean..

We have errands to run, okay?

Go get dressed.

Wait. Mom, please, can I just stay home?

By yourself? No.

[Amber sighs]

(Amber) I'm afraid to ask, but mom knows Drew.

So...this should be okay.

Hi.

[bell ringing]

[instrumental music]

Was that your girlfriend?

Aw. Oh, look at him. He's blushing.

[laughs]

I mean, we met his whole family.

Thank you for coming over.

- Oh, you're welcome. - I appreciate it

It's important that we know who Amber hangs out with.

- 'We understand.' - We just..

Yeah, we just always want to make sure that she's safe.

We understand that. Well, she's safe with Drew.

So sorry.

(male #3) 'So, how long have you guys been here?'

Five? Five years? Five and a half?

- Five and a half. - Hmm.

Yeah, we've custom-built the home.

- It's awesome. - Labor of love, yeah.

Great view out here.

Some tough times during that time, but hey, it was great.

[laughing]

- 'Building's never easy.' - 'I wouldn't suggest building.'

Just buy.

Oh, we enjoyed it. Did you decorate yourself?

Oh, no. Color schemes.

Mm, decorator challenge.

(male #4) 'No, she's great, she's great.'

She actually did her own restaurant.

- Oh! - Color schemes.

- You have a restaurant? - Ah, don't.. Come on, you did.

I did not, I do the Yellow Rose.

- 'Dude, quit it!' - Hey, hey.

- 'It's not funny. Stop!' - Hey. Stop it.

(Amber) 'Mom, can Drew and I hang out with Jamie?'

- Hey, this is our room. - No girls allowed.

- Hey, stop. - Mom.

From class? Drew from class?

(Amber) 'Yeah, it's his cousin from South Africa, she just got in.'

- What is that? No. - 'I think he just..'

Mnh-mnh.

- Mom, please. We can-- - Mom, no.

We can just stop by, say hi. I'd really love to see her.

- No. - Would that be so bad?

Are you joking?

If you wanna hang out with him

it will be here and only until 9:00.

- No. - Ugh.

Help me clean up this room.

I am not kidding.

[sighs]

(female #2) 'Pick it up.'

[doorbell rings]

- Hi, Drew. - Hey.

Where's Jamie?

Uh..

Well, don't just stand there, come on in.

Hey, Drew, good to see you again.

Hey.

- Thank you, sir. - Call me Bart.

Amber does.

So, um, why don't we head in the living room?

- This way? - Yeah.

Go. Go.

Who are you talking to?

[chuckles]

Sorry.

Uh...it's Jamie.

Someone's throwing a party for her.

Um..

I...I should go.

Really? You just got here.

Yeah.

But I really shouldn't have come though.

Why did you then?

Because..

...I was hoping that you could come with me.

[chuckles]

Um..

I have an idea.

(Bart) 'No, no, no, no. Smells good, doesn't it?'

You better believe it, I'm a bad brownie cook.

Hey, hey. You're in for a treat.

You are in for the chef's special.

Hey, Bart, can we stop by Drew's cousins?

She just got in from South Africa.

It would mean so much to me if I could see her again.

Amber, we talked about this.

[cell phone vibrates]

[scoffs]

Come on, just for a minute?

Right, kiddo?

Okay, but come right back.

I have to close the restaurant, so text me when you get home.

- 'Okay.' - You are so sweet.

You are such a sweet woman.

Sweet women do not do dishes. Go.

Go, go, go.

Thank you. Go, go, go.

Before she changes her mind.

[instrumental music]

I just have to make one stop first.

'Fine with me.'

[engine starts]

She'll love it.

[chuckles] Yeah.

[chuckles]

Um..

Why are.. Why are we, um..

...waiting?

[indistinct]

Uh..

Oh, here they come.

Oh, my gosh.

Is that who you're waiting on?

I didn't even know you were friends with them.

Yeah.

Hey.

- Amber, right? - 'Yeah.'

'I've seen you around.'

I'm Justin.

[chuckles] Look at her.

She is cute.

I'm Candace, if you didn't know already.

Are you ready to come have fun with us tonight?

Are you?

Whoop, sorry.

Guess I owe you a dance at Jamie's party then.

Uh...yeah.

Are we not taking your car?

We're all going to the same place.

I might as well be the responsible one and drive.

My bad!

This is Tyler.

He's gonna be our driver tonight

because friends don't let friends drive..

What was it?

The word you're looking for is exceptionally inebriated.

- Let's get going. - No! No, it's drunk!

'Friends don't let friends drive drunk.'

You coming?

Yeah, sounds fun.

It's nice to meet you.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

That was fun, huh?

(Amber) I-I have no idea where Drew is, but he definitely left me.

[Amber grunts]

[door opens]

I'll take you home.

It's on my way.

Uh..

- See ya. - Yeah.

See ya.

Mm.

[sighs]

Let's get that out of your face.

[dramatic music]

[indistinct chatter]

Hi, guys. Is everything alright? Is everything going okay?

[indistinct chatter]

- Hi, guys. - Hi.

Hello, nice to see you.

Hey, Tammy. Tammy, guys.

Hey, listen, I'm gonna need one of you to stay late tonight.

Sarah can't come in, okay?

[cell phone vibrates]

Thank you.

Hey, Bart, Sarah's sick, so I..

What?

What do you mean she's not home yet?

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

That's my exit.

Where are we going?

[cell phone vibrates]

It's okay.

I got it.

[phone rings]

No, no, no, no.

[automated message] 'Hey, this is Amber's phone..'

- 'Hey, honey.' - Bart.

I need you to call Drew's parents now.

[panting] No! No!

[sobbing]

[grunting]

'No!'

- It's okay. - 'No!'

Try to open it again.

[sobbing]

Why are you doing this?

Where are you taking me?

'Where?'

[sobbing] 'Where are you taking me?'

[breathing heavily]

'Please, don't.. You don't have to do this.'

- 'Please, no.' - Yeah, alright.

- Shut up already. - 'Please, please.'

[sobbing]

Please stop.

Don't even think about it.

You try to get away..

...I will kill you and your family.

I know where you live.

[sobbing]

[intense music]

[sobbing] No! No!

Drew said he dropped her off at the door.

Then where is she? She's not here.

I-I've already been to Jamie's house and nobody's there.

I cannot believe that you let me let her go!

Amy, calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

Why haven't you found her already?

Well, you know someone has to watch our other kids too.

Look, look, I'm sure another friend just picked her up.

No, they're on that stupid trip!

No, there's something wrong.

I need you to e-mail, text, Facebook, I don't care

but find out if anybody knows anything.

You don't think that's a little premature?

Look, I'm sure she'll walk through that door any moment.

Come on, honey.

I know my child.

After the e-mail's out, I want you to call the police.

- Where are you going? - Do this for me.

I'm going to find her.

[sighs]

Clean yourself up.

'Bathroom's that way.'

[keys clacking]

[instrumental music]

[keys clacking]

Hurry up in there. We don't have all day.

[knock on door] You hear me?

[music continues]

[water running]

[sighs]

[rattling]

[door rattling]

[music continues]

[gasps]

Hey.

[instrumental music]

[keys clacking]

Go ahead.

You should really see this.

Please, you don't have to. Please.

Please.

Hey, hey, do this and you can go home.

And I won't have to kill your family.

Especially that pretty little sister.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello.

Yeah, we're leaving now.

Oh, Angel's worth every penny.

You will do everything he wants.

If you don't, I will know.

Ma'am, kids run away and come back every day.

I'm sure she's fine.

She has never done this before.

She wouldn't. She wouldn't.

I've looked, I've looked every where

that she could possibly go.

Drew is lying, he is lying.

If she hasn't turned up by tomorrow

we'll file the paperwork and we'll start a search, okay?

Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental music]

So Big D's letting you in, huh?

Yeah. Thanks for the hook up.

It seems like he can't resist fresh merch.

- The merchandise here? - Yes.

- Intact? - Yes.

Time to go.

[Amber groans]

[sniffles]

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I'm gonna miss you.

Have fun with that.

[engine starts]

Sugar, she here.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey. Oh..

[laughs]

Welcome to the family.

Look. Here.

Here take this.

You ain't got nothin' to worry about.

Daddy gonna take real good care of you.

[chuckles]

That's enough, Sugar.

Big D ain't gonna keep cleaning up after your sorry self!

How did you get to be bottom girl anyways, BB?

[chuckles]

You better start recognizing your place around here.

Your head hurt?

Come on.

Come on.

[coughing]

I want you to wait right here

because they gonna be coming back real soon, okay?

Stop it. You better act right.

You better act right.

You stupid girl!

'Stupid.'

Get away from her. You mess up..

You mess up stuff all the time. All the time, Sugar.

- I'm not messing up anything. - Just messing up.

She's already freaking messed up!

She's here because of your butt.

- 'Cause I'm-- - You're sloppy!

You're never together, it's always that stuff!

Now how are you gonna blame this on me?

No, because I.. Because look at you!

Look at this!

All the time!

All the time!

What you got to say now?

I ain't got nothing to say, BB!

He gets on me because of you!

He gets on me because of you!

I'm tired of taking heat for you, Sugar!

Dummy!

Look at this.

(BB) 'Help! Get her shoes.'

It's, it's alright.

It's alright, Angel.

'You gonna do real good. You gonna do real good.'

'We gotta hike this up a little bit.'

'You screw up. Come on, Sugar.'

No.

Angel. Here.

(BB) 'Shoot.'

[upbeat music]

Put this on.

'Got company soon.'

It's alright, Angel.

You're not getting dressed yet.

Move.

[laughing]

Shh.

Shh.

(Amber) I, I want to scream.

I want to cry. I want to fight.

Anything, but this.

But I can't.

If I do, I'm dead.

I'm as good as dead already.

[laughing]

My man Tyler was right about you.

You gonna make me a lot of money.

[laughing]

So why don't you dance for me?

Ha! You can do better than that.

(Amber) 'No. Stop! Please don't hurt me!'

Hey! BB! BB!

(BB) 'Yeah.'

- Hey, fix this girl. - 'Alright.'

She got dates.

Can't have my Angel looking a mess.

(BB) 'Come on, Angel.'

'Come on.'

Shoot.

Shh. What the heck?

Shoot.

'Your roofie is just knocking her out.'

'She ain't going to be good to nobody like this.'

[gasps]

[groaning]

Come on.

[gasping]

(BB) 'Get up.'

'Come on.'

Sit down.

Shh. Sit.

Shh.

Shit.

Dang mess.

You.. Sit up straight.

'Sit up straight.'

Stop it!

Angel.

- Angel. - Hmm.

Look at me.

It's yours.

Hey, look..

We gotta make sure the new girl pretty.

No.

No.

Don't you dare feel sorry for me.

Retarded dummy.

[breathes heavily]

She in charge of us.

[instrumental music]

So she have to be like that.

[music continues]

[Sugar sighs]

You know, it is easier if you enjoy it.

'Shit.'

'Here we go.'

Come on.

[music continues]

[music continues]

Uh..

[coughing]

You enjoy it?

[whispers] Sugar.

I didn't say that.

[Amber sobbing]

You know, I don't have no choice neither.

And I never had.

I'm, I'm in so much pain.

I can't, I can hardly stand.

Come on, please, please, please, help me.

Please, help me!

We can go together. We can go together.

To get out! I have to get out!

[knocking on door]

Hey, uh...fix her hair or something too.

She got company at 10:00.

[music continues]

Look, this life's real tough.

And you can't talk like that if you wanna live.

Quit crying.

Both of you!

And get back to work.

You...get the heck up here now!

You do what I say.

Do you hear me?

Come on. Now.

[Amber crying]

Shoot.

Angel.

Dang, Sugar, Angel.

Both of you.

Dummy.

- Come on, Sugar, hurry up! - Okay, I'm sorry.

[Amber crying]

Shut the heck up!

'Shut up!'

'I'm trying to help you out.'

'Think I need this clip.'

'Angel, look.'

Look. Look!

Open your eyes.

- Open your eyes. - No.

Open your eyes.

I'm helping you.

You a woman now.

[sobbing]

Okay?

Look. Look.

[Amber crying]

Pick up that stuff.

Stop. Stop crying.

You're gonna mess up your face.

Look. You gonna mess up your face.

We can't have nothing messing up this pretty face.

See.

Look.

Put these earrings on.

Put the earrings on!

'Come, help me.'

'Here.'

Look.

Yeah. You're a pretty girl.

Look.

You ain't helping worth crap.

Yeah, go get me a drink.

Go.

See. Go on.

There you go.

'Stand up.'

'Dang girl, you gonna learn.'

I'm Heather Hays, as you know

we've been following the heartbreaking story

of missing teenager, Amber Stevens.

'Austen Williams is joining us..'

I don't even think that they're working.

I don't think they're even looking for her.

Honey, you know what?

Listen to me, listen, listen to me.

Look at my eyes, we are here for you

and we're gonna find her. We're gonna find her.

'Let's pray. Let's just pray.'

'Because it's all we can do.'

She jumped the freakin' phone.

I leave you in charge and this is what you do? Are you serious?

Man, I took a second to the restroom, dawg!

Man, I ain't got time for this, man.

[no audio]

- We need to get out of here. - Shut up, girl!

(male #5) 'She's right because I can't deal with cops.'

I ain't got time for this man. Put this on!

Just a drunk text.

School's not even out yet.

I didn't know Amber was such a partier.

Amber?

Reid, you know she's been missing for five days.

There's an investigation. We have to go now!

Yo, I be needing a new room.

I gotcha, Red, but...I wanna see BB again.

Shut up.

Let me know if you need anything, alright?

[Amber panting]

Ugh!

[Amber groaning]

[intense music]

You live because I let you live.

BB's with the clerk.

Get her ready!

[music continues]

[Amber grunts]

(Amy) 'Uh, well...what did they say?'

They got nothing from the text.

'No!'

[Amy crying]

'I can't lose her!'

We're not gonna stop fighting for her.

We're not gonna stop.

I shouldn't have let her go with Drew.

I shouldn't have let her go. Why did you think it was okay?

You said it would be okay! You said it would be okay!

[crying continues]

I'm sorry!

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[both crying]

We'll get her back.

Well, hello, Mrs. Lawrence.

How's our favorite politician's wife?

- What can we do for you? - Need you to investigate this.

- And I need you to do it now. - The runaway.

We haven't found anything.

Have you done an online trace?

I know this family and I'm telling you right now

she's missing.

Something is wrong.

Can you just look at the information.

That's all I'm asking you to do.

[instrumental music]

Okay.

I'm here with Amber's family

and the lead investigator on the case.

Thank you all for being with me.

Can you tell me, is there any new information

that you can share about where Amber might be?

Are we any closer to finding her?

Unless someone else steps forward with more information

the last known location of Amber

is right where we're standing, ma'am.

We just want her found.

If anyone knows anything..

...please..

Please help us.

Um, I miss my daughter.

Amber..

...wherever you are..

...we love you, we love you.

We love you.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to 16-year-old Amber Stevens

who is still missing.

(Amber) The line seems endless.

I can't see faces anymore.

I no longer have the energy to cry

much less fight.

Fifty men..

At least 50 men who have abused me.

Hey.

Hey, you watchin' this flick?

See, you can learn something if you ever gonna

make it in this life.

Mm.

Yeah.

Hey, D, check this out.

It's local news.

Official missing persons.

[Big D laughs] Yeah. Mm.

[cell phone vibrates]

Mm.

This one is good.

You do this..

...and you won't need a website no more.

(male #6) 'Everybody, I need your attention.'

This is the satellite feed

this is the overhead of the hotel.

Our online search puts Amber Stevens in room 117.

Room faces north.

We have a window on the east side.

We'll be approaching from the west.

Door hammer, team leader

officer two, three, four and five.

Door goes down.

We're gonna push in.

Check the bathroom.

'I don't know how big this wall is on the closet.'

Watch this wall.

Another entry point right here.

Anybody have any questions?

Guys, gather up! Team, come together, let's go.

Okay, guys. Focus.

Be safe. Lock and load.

Let's go get Amber.

[instrumental music]

Listen to me.

- Better do what I say. - No.

Angel, unloosen your fist.

Secondary complete.

Alright. We missed them.

- Call Forensics. Clear out. - 'No.'

They gotta be close. We gotta keep looking.

Clear out, officer! She's not here.

[screaming]

On me, on me. Stack up.

I need support.

It's okay. We got you.

We got you. We're gonna get you home, okay?

We're gonna get you home. It's okay. You're safe.

You're safe.

[Amber crying]

[instrumental music]

Do we have EMTs coming? You almost there, okay?

Just a few more steps.

Just a few more steps, okay?

Watch your step. Watch your step.

Watch your step. You're okay.

You can lean on us. You can lean on us, okay?

You're okay. It's okay.

We're almost there. We're almost there.

Can you get in there? Okay.

'You're gonna be okay.'

[music continues]

It's okay.

[sniffles]

Amber. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

[crying]

- Thank you. - It's okay.

No, it's okay. I know. It's okay. She's safe.

Ma'am, we're going to stay with you through your whole case.

[music continues]

Let's get her in.

Thank you. Thank you.

[indistinct announcement on PA]

[no audio]

[indistinct]

Hi, my name's Dr. Burton.

Amber, my name's Dr. Burton.

I know this is a really tough time for your family

but we do need to get started

'on your sexual assault examination'

'just as soon as possible.'

It's going to be fine, we're going to take care of her, okay?

(male #9) 'We'll be right outside.'

Thank you.

(Tyler) I'll kill you and your family.

(Bid D) You live... 'cause I let you live.

(Tyler) I know where you live.

[screaming]

No. No, no, no.

[instrumental music]

Here you go, baby.

Thank you, officer.

Son of a.. He's gonna rot in prison.

[music continues]

Am-Amber, do you want some apple juice?

[music continues]

[sniffles]

I think your brothers made some, uh, fr-fresh orange juice too.

'It's okay.'

'We can get that later.'

[music continues]

[sobbing]

[music continues]

[sniffles]

[sighs]

I love you.

[Amy sniffles]

[music continues]

It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay.

[music continues]

I didn't know what was gonna happen to her.

Honest.

It was just quick cash.

- If I'd had known-- - You'd what? Quit your gang?

What about the others?

Like I said..

...it's not my problem.

Why'd you sell her out?

[scoffs]

Do I look like I care about some girl?

Tyler gave us drugs and money..

...that's all I care about.

This isn't like selling drugs, Justin.

You sold human beings.

People.

Someone's daughter.

Someone's sister.

It's your last chance.

[indistinct chattering]

- Drew Matlock? - Uh, yeah.

I'd like to ask you some questions about Amber Steven's

disappearance from a few weeks ago.

Okay.

It's my understanding you were with her

the night she disappeared.

Um, yeah.

Did you make prior arrangements

with Amber and her family to take her to that party?

No, I mean...she..

I thought she called her parents or something.

Hmm, so you're not aware that she lied to her parents

to get there that night?

No.

You didn't have anything to do with her going missing?

- Uh, no. - Mm.

Well, I may have some more questions for you.

We'll stay in touch.

Okay.

I'm watching you.

(Amber) Drew...that brought me to Jamie's party..

...and left me with Tyler..

...he never admitted to anything.

[crying]

Uh, I hope you now know what happens to a person

when they're treated like a slave.

No better than an animal.

I wish to God I didn't..

...but he held a gun to my head..

...and he, he threatened my family.

'I c-I couldn't lose them.'

I don't know what would've happened to me..

...if my mom didn't fight for me.

If...she didn't have people..

'...that fought with her.'

They're saying I'll have wounds..

...I may never fully recover from.

Just eight days.

Eight days and so much happened.

So much that I wanna forget.

But God saved me, so I know I'll get through this.

I can't undo what you've done to me..

...but I can make sure that you never hurt another girl.

(Amber) From that point on my mom and I realized

we could not be silent anymore.

This morning we are talking about human sex trafficking.

It is a silent epidemic in this country

affecting children of all ages, both boys and girls

and we are joined this morning by one of those victims.

'This is Amber and her mother.'

And, Amber, we will get to your story in a moment.

A miraculous rescue about a year ago

but now you've become a voice for the victims.

Yes, I have and what people don't know is

this is happening all around us

and we need to do something about it.

We need to be that voice for the victims

we need to raise awareness

and get people to make a difference, make a change.

Mm. Mom what happened here?

[sighs] Unfortunately, this is real.

My child was kidnapped and trafficked

by friends that we knew in our neighborhood.

It's a miracle..

...that she was found.

God heard my prayers and he rescued my daughter.

I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart

for you being here and supporting this cause

to stop human trafficking.

Um, together we can make a difference.

So thank you so much. God Bless.

♪ I'll rise like a rose through the thorns ♪

♪ Let your beauty shine through ♪

♪ All the pain ♪

♪ I'll rise.. ♪♪

This is happening all around us

and we need to do something about it.

(Amber) Today, there are more people trafficked

and treated like slaves than ever before in human history.

This crime is no longer just in red-light districts.

It's in our schools and in our communities.

It's in-between our houses.

This is not about class or race.

No child is immune to trafficking

and conditions that shorten life expectancy

to three to seven years.

This is wrong.

This is beyond unacceptable

and we have to do something about it.

My life was saved.

But what about the others?

What about the other children..

...that have been neglected and forgotten?

This is not okay.

Our fight will not be over until every child is safe.

(Amber) There is hope.

Agencies like Homeland Security Investigation

are rescuing victims and helping them become survivors

but we need more.

Lawmakers, officers, artists, advocates, counselors.

Everyone should work together. We need safe homes.

We can save lives. Every person matters.

If we do or say nothing, then the criminals win.

'We can't let that happen.'

And talking is good, but talking is not enough.

We must do. We must protect our children.

It's up to us to fight this crime

of child sex trafficking.

Together we can make a difference.

Together we can stop this crime.

That's right.

This ends now!
