We don't have enough workers
this season as it is.

Laurie Ann:
I don't know why not,

since the borders
are so out of control.

We need people --

we need them to work
at a price.

Marvin:
Do you speak English?

Luis: No.

Quiero ir
a Carolina del Norte.

Navarro: He wants to go
to North Carolina.

Isaac: Me and my brother,
we got to go out

and get people
to work the fields.
Move, if you want to work!

It's hot out.
Want a ride?
[ Brakes squeal ]

How 'bout you come work
on the farm, get paid?

You need beer --
I got that.

You want other stuff...

Yeah, you got the money?

It's all good?
Yes.

How old are you?

18.

Good answer.

Freeze! Get your hands up!

Kimara: Shae?

My name is Kimara.

If you let me, I'll do
everything I can to help you.

♪♪

Amanda:
It's all about sex right now.

It's all about
sex and drugs.

Kimara: [ Chuckles ]

There was this article
in The Observer.

It was all about the heroin
crisis and sex trafficking

and how these kids
are trading their bodies

to support their habits.

Yeah, I read that.

The D.A. read it,

and now
it is his mission in life

to rid this county of drugs
and prostitution --

at least, until some other
article gets written.

Now we got this girl --
Shae Reese.

Mm-hmm.
I talked to her.

We need her
to testify against her pimp.

Mm, she --
she doesn't want to help.

She just wants to walk.

She knows she's not facing
any charges.

Now, this pimp was running
other kids.

She's 17.

If we can convict
on trafficking a minor,

that's a Class D felony.

That sticks.
That matters.

Look, you know this girl has
been in and out of the system

God knows how many times.

She's not gonna trust
us cops.

She's not gonna trust
us prosecutors.

You're not gonna
be doing this alone.

We will support you
in every way.

But if you could just put
any extra focus on this girl...

Billy Qualls.
Your pimp.

I'm not asking you --
I'm telling you.

He's under arrest.

Am I in trouble?

You're under
the age of consent.

You didn't do anything wrong.
You didn't commit a crime.

Nobody
wants to prosecute you.

The prosecutors --

they just want you
to testify against Billy.
So I can go?

I told them
I'm not doing that.

He ran you,

and he ran
five other kids.

Get them to do it.

Your testimony means more.

He didn't do nothing
to me.

All Billy did --
he gave me someplace to live.
He sent you out

and made you collect money
for sex.

I was bangin' people
before I met Billy.

How are you gonna put him
in jail

for what I was doing,
anyway?

You tell me
it felt right --

going to a motel,
going to an apartment,

taking in some man
who made you sick,

and then
taking the money...

How much did you get
a turn, Shae?

$50? $30?

And then taking that money back
to Billy because he said so?

And where was he?
Was he anywhere around?

You tell me
that that felt right to you,

and I'll leave you alone.

When's the trial gonna be?

There will be a few hearings,
and the trial itself --

maybe nine months.

I'm supposed to do what
for nine months?

We will get you
into a jobs program.

We'll get you
into a shelter --

For nine months?

[ Clears throat ]

You got no idea
when a trial would be.

You just want me to hang out
and be ready

for when you all want me
to speak against Billy.

Laura: There are rules
you have to follow.

Disobeying any of the rules
will lead to your expulsion.

First, no drugs.

You're not allowed
to take drugs,

and you're not allowed
to have drugs on the property.

There's chapel at 8:00 a.m.

You must attend chapel
every morning.

I'm not religious.

Chapel
is not about conversion.

It's about fellowship.

You must attend chapel
every morning.

There's a work program

for residents who've graduated
from high school.

For those who have not,
we offer mandatory GED courses.

Are you
a high-school graduate?

No.

Then you will be expected
to take the classes

and pass your test.

While you're a client,

you may no possess
any electronic devices,

have any
unauthorized visitors,

and leave the property
without consent.

How many people
stay in this room?

Eight beds, eight girls.

When I was with Billy,
there was only six to a room.

Abby: You say "slavery," and
people think you're hysterical.

Well, we are not.

In North Carolina alone,

39% of the state's
150,000 farm workers

report being
illegally trafficked

or otherwise abused.

So that is physical abuse,
sexual abuse,

death threats,
and wage theft.

And there's always,
you know, the possibility of,

you know,
exposure to farm chemicals,

toxins, pesticides.

There's all that on one side,

[Chuckling]
and on the other side,

there is
an agricultural business

that brings in over $200 billion
into the U.S. economy.

So...guess which side
has the edge.

Okay, when you're dealing
with workers in sex trafficking,

in manual labor,

in any area where there is
a possibility of abuse,

it's all about
seeing the signs.

-Thank you very much.
-Nice to see you.

I'll see you guys next week.
Thanks for coming.

Good talk.

[ Laughs ]

Yeah, if there's a good way
to talk about exploitation.

But, you know, I just --

I just try and, like,
drive home the warning signs --

you know, lack of communication,
housing conditions,

you know, the exposure
to the heroin crisis.

You know what I love?

I love that we're supposed
to call it a "crisis."

Like, when it was crack in
the inner cities, it was a...

An epidemic.

Yeah, epidemic,
like the black plague.

Now that's in heroin
in the suburbs, it's a crisis.

Just a -- Just a bad thing
that happens to good people.

Gosh, Abby. I thought
I was having a tough day.

Oh, you --
You can be a cynic

and still have
a heart of gold.

Honestly, I mean, I don't think
you can do this job

and not be one.

You know, I was with this girl
today that I'm trying to help,

and she says she thinks
she's better off with her pimp.

Ohh.

Well, that's --

that's not the first time
you've heard that.

[ Sighs ]

No. No, it's --
it's not, but it's...

You know, you go through
this space early on

that you hear
something like that,

and it depresses you,
you know?

And then
you teach yourself

not to let their perspective
get to you, and...

Then you realize
that the things you hear,

the things these kids say --
it just doesn't quite...

It just doesn't bring the pain
the way it used to.

[ Sighs ]

You feel
like you're burning out.

Abby, I feel like --
[ Sighs ]

I feel like
I'm on this lifeboat

that only holds 10 people,

and there was a time
that I didn't care

that it only held
10 people.

I'd try to get 100 people
on that boat.

But now...

I just accept 10
is all I can get.
