Original subtitles

I was walking in the street and a guy, he

just told me that

he was going to help me like to

find a job and

I believed him, but

it wasn't true.

And when we get to the place that I

was going to ask for the job.

They put something in the beverage

and I just start to sleep.

I started off in the CIA and then went to

the Department of Homeland Security where

they asked me to start a child crimes

group. You know Initially I said, No, I

can't can't do that. I've got kids, I

just can't imagine having to witness

that kind of thing. My boss said we need

you to to do this because this is so

hard. You have, you have a religious

background that's going to give you

the foundation so that you can deal with

this. But I didn't know if I could

actually do it. Then I

thought of one of my great heroes of

American history, Harriet Beecher Stowe.

She was confronted with fighting for

human freedom, and she didn't know what

to do either, being just one person, but

she knew she could write. So she wrote a

book, Uncle Tom's Cabin, sold

over 19,000,000 copies, inspired the

nation. She shined a light on the

darkness of slavery and created a

movement. People got on board

and slavery began to

end.

And though I never thought I could be

like her, I could at least

learn something from her and try.

I've been doing this ever since.

Everything from child pornography to

child trafficking to child sex tourism.

I've worked, you know, domestic overseas,

a lot of cyber, you know, computer

crimes. The first case I I

worked was was absolutely life-altering

for me. It was a little boy who had been

trafficked along with his sister back and

forth from Mexico and they were being

they were being raped. There's a video of

of this little boy being right there. The

monster's like he would take videos of it

and we come across this video and and

watching this little boy and we had to

watch it. That's one of the stomach

churning things. You've got to watch it

to find clues. Where is he?What's in the

background?Is there anything we can

identify at the scene of of rescue and

as things were kind of the dust was was

settling, they realized that they were

they were rescued. And this little boy

jumps into my arms and I have this moment

with him, just crying with him. And

he says to me, he says, I don't belong

here. And I thought, can I do

this?Can I,

can I possibly continue

in a job

that forces me to see this

again and again?

And ultimately I decided that that

it was that experience that actually

instead of. Dissuading me, actually, in

the end, encouraged me that I that's all

I will do. That's all I'll do for the

rest of my career, as far as my life.

Working for the United States government

has been great, but the sad reality is

that the vast majority, probably over 90%

of those kids out there who are being

trafficked, fall outside the purview of

the United States or any other developed

nation that has a plan, that has the

resources. And so it occurred to me,

maybe it's my responsibility to leave the

government and take the tools I've

learned and apply them as a private

individual, as a private organization.

And we created it. It's called Operation

Underground Railroad, a foundation, a

legal organization to go after these kids

and work with the foreign governments

that need help. Empower them, bring them

the tools, make them the heroes, teach

them how to continue rescuing kids long

after we're gone to create. A revolution

against this great plague that

infects the entire world, this plague of

child trafficking.

When I was an agent in the government,

there was this informant who was able to

get information and get access to

suffering children in ways that that

others just could not. We call this guy

Batman. That's his code name.

Words can't express how grateful I am

for Batman. He is an absolutely

integral part of this whole process. He

can go places and do things

that others, including myself.

Can't. We call him

Batman because he works in the dark. He

finds the traffickers, and more

importantly, he finds the children that

the traffickers are selling. He the guy's

a miracle. He has the ability to to

mix and mingle and connect with

evil in ways that are almost

incomprehensible.

I'm I'm proud to say that we did have

some successes together. We also had a

lot of frustrations. But I told them to

be patient, that I'm working on

something, the creation of a private

organization that would work not only

with the US government, but with all

governments. We could take the tools

we've learned and plug them into any

jurisdiction and save kids all around the

world.

I spent the better part of 15 years.

Laundering money for drug cartels all

over Latin America. When when my life

changed, I was at I had been at a high

point using a lot of

laundered money. I was the funder

of two hotels

totaling over $50 million. I I was

living on 9 different passports. I had I

had nine different passports, Canadian

passports. When I'd go down to these

countries to pick up the money, you know,

I I was just out of control. I was

drinking. I was using drugs, doing all

the things that I'm so

against now. When I realized what

God was calling me to, I was sitting in

an orphanage that is in the middle of a

red light zone in Mexico that was filled

with the sons and daughters of the

prostitutes. And I was talking to a 10

year old and a 12 year old girl, and they

were sharing the stories of what had

happened in their life. One of those

girls, Lupita, was 10 years old at the

time. And as she was sharing, I I asked

her, you know, what about your mom?And

she said, well, my mother was the one

that would allow her boyfriends to

to come to our house and touch me.

And and she would put pornographic movies

on and I would have to do whatever was

happening in those movies with the with

her boyfriends. The next girl started to

share that her, her,

her life fell apart when she got raped,

which became a regular thing in her life.

Because her mother was a prostitute in

the red light zone, and it was

extremely convicting because her mother

was a prostitute in the same red light

zone where I used to spend

nights and and sometimes weeks. And I

went home that night. I I was living in a

in a crack hotel. That's where I was. I

was working out of at the time. And I

went back to the hotel that night and I I

literally cried myself to sleep because I

realized that what if?I

had hired this girl's mother for the

night, and because I was with the mother,

she was left alone, unprotected, and was

raped. I was suicidal. September

16th, September 15th, 2005.

I had a razor blade ready to take my

life, and

I had been. I had heard about God. I had

heard about Jesus. And I I

I literally that night, as I was ready to

take my life, I I made a a Hail Mary

prayer. And I called out to a God that I

didn't believe in, to a Jesus who I

didn't believe in. And I thought even if

those two existed, that they wouldn't

care about somebody like me. And

you know, God responded. I heard his

voice that night, and he literally called

me to do what I'm doing now. I mean, I

knew that night that the rest of my

life would be spent rescuing and saving

these little girls.

In a neighborhood just not far from here,

this girl was taken by a family member.

This this was the most tragic part of

this. And we see this often. Her aunt

lived with her and her mother and they

were they thought they were a happy

family. Well, the aunt, turns out,

had been hired by an American for months

on end. They they brought this little

girl, Maria, to his home. They drugged

her up. She she held her

down, her aunt and and

Just she was raped again and again and

again.

Part of our mission is we stay with these

kids. We don't just, we don't just save

them and and walk away. We stay with

them. We make sure they get the healing

that that's required. And we got Maria

into a safe place and now we're, you

know, we're following up. It takes time.

This, the healing, the damage these

monsters do to kids is just

overwhelming. It's unbearable.

OK.

No, but but to Martiempo,

bueno is kid is

kid. Gracias.

Adios.

I actually worked in Colombia

years ago, worked with Colombian

officials, and I got a sense that they

were serious about this. Cartagena

happens to be a place where travelers

come in and out. Cruise ships come in and

out. It is a high trafficking area in

that regard. And so it made sense to

start there. And so we hit the ground

running with this government that was

very supportive and interested in what we

were doing.

An operation works first and foremost by

finding the bad guys and finding, more

importantly, finding the kids that the

bad guys are enslaving.

Jump around so it doesn't see what's

coming.

We have to pretend to be sex

tourists, talking to taxi drivers,

sitting on the beach and waiting for a

vendor to come up and start offering us

everything from from drugs to

adult women. And eventually it comes

up. Well, how about children?At that

point we tell them that we want. To have

a party. We want to have a sex party

and we want children to

be the objects of lust for this

party.

We rent a house that's conducive to this

kind of a a party, and the traffickers

deliver.

We're going to

leave

at 10:30, go to this barrio where there's

nine prostitution bars together, and

the guy has already talked to a guy there

who says that the 12 year olds are not in

the bars but right outside on the streets

close to it. And he's going to we're

going to go meet this guy tonight and

then he's going to pick. The the five or

six girls that he's going to bring for us

to the party, 12 to 14 year olds.

That's the plan.

Are we doing a partying?I

don't know.

This guy's got the girls lined up. I just

need to. I need to look at these girls.

You make. They may tell me one thing and

then, yeah, you know what I want. We're

not going to be able to see him then?Can

we see him at 8:00 tonight?I'm going

first because I can find him right there

and then tonight have him here. Perfect.

No, here. No. No for you to look at.

Yeah, but not even here, man.

We'll go out there or we'll go old town

or something. Somewhere out, not

in this room. There you go. OK, So

what do you need?I need a front down the

page. Yeah, done. I can take him with me.

He's that what I had.

Now these girls want to come in. 13 to

15 years old. 13 to 15 years old.

That's what I'm doing. 13 to 15. OK,

perfect. Yeah. YeahOK. We're we're moving

out of here. We're moving into the house

today. OK. I'll call you. Yeah. Call me.

Word.

Oh, wait. Marco shows up. He needed 20.

He wanted 20,000 to go run over there

just to he wanted to talk to the girls

right now to make sure tonight they're

going to be there. And I'm like, yeah,

yeah, no problem. I gave him 50, 50,000.

I'm like, now, how old are these girls?

He's like, oh, you know, 13, 50. All of

them. Right on here. And it's perfect.

We've got three angles. You've got

triangle, audio, video, everything. I

love that. 6'10. OK, call me

when you're in the van heading here. And

I'll meet you at the restaurant. Peace.

Here you go. So

that's eight guaranteed. Done.

Beer everywhere, everywhere, everything.

And just say, hey, relax with us. We're

going to liquor, couple bottles of rum,

some beer.

Oh, got me, another non-drinker.

I'm a non-drinker. I really am never.

I've never had it. Actually, I never had

sip of out in my life. You're kidding.

I'm dead serious. But in your life, in

my life, I've never had a sip of beer.

Never. I never will.

But it does. It does serve a purpose for

me, and that is to give me a disguise. It

makes the bad guys feel comfortable with

me, and that is protection for me.

We'll be like, OK, that's good. I'm

comfortable. You're going to, you know,

I'll bring the boss down now and have

someone go get Dale and he'll be coming

down and like he looked like he looked at

the girls. Like we got a surprise in the

in the room for you, you know. And then

he'll be like, woo, scream like, yeah.

And then he'll come down and then he'll

give us a second opportunity for them to

emphasize again to him what these girls

are going to do. Like, because he'll come

down and say, hey, remember happening in

Guatemala?And then I'll be translating,

you know, to the bad guys. I was saying,

yeah, he's worried about Guatemala. I

never told you guys. And they'll be like,

no, no, no, these girls are going to

bleepity bleepity. They're going to. It

just gets them more excited to

re-emphasize all the dirty. And

then, all right, let's go. And then the

sign will be my hat off. I'll go like

this and scratch my head. And then he'll

be sitting here and say, go,

go. And then boom, the door's off the

hinges, whatever. So we're going to we're

going to save some kids in a couple

hours. It's going to be awesome.

Before these things, we always pray. So

we're going to say prayer.

Father, we just come to you now, Lord. We

just thank you that you're a God filled

with love. You're a God filled with mercy

and grace.

They have not got everything

signed. That the undercover stuff is not

signed by this guy, nor is the search bar

signed. Why?Or is there a reason?We just

had a call. They're here. The girls are

there. Yeah, they're there.

We're going the

way. I mean, we can't.

Hey. Dave, when when the van gets there,

hang where you are. Because our bachelor

guy, he's born a little bit late and we

don't want to bring you to the house

until he's here.

OK, but hang. When the van gets there,

hang there until I tell you to come to

the restaurant. OK, bye.

Yeah, but this is getting close, dude.

We're 5 degrees five.

What?

What about these little kids?

This is going to make them look horrible,

then the chase is like.

They just called it off. This is why

I operate black third time. This is

exactly why I do it.

How can you possibly turn back into the

streets?I don't understand it.

Is there still a possibility that's going

to happen from Fernando's standpoint?

There's always a possibility. Fernando

hung up and said I'll call you back. Like

somebody came in and said, call you back.

I've never seen a thing put together so

well with this thing. I mean, this thing

is a freak, a silver platter.

Why would they not want to do that?That's

always my question. Why would they not

want it?Just do it. And even if it

doesn't work, the prosecution doesn't

work. Save the kids.

I've never gotten it to this point where

20 minutes before go time, they say

no. I think we just tell them

that someone called the cops because

they're playing music too loud. The

boss got freaked out because the cops

showed up and he's called everything off.

We'll just tell him, sorry guys, stand

by. We're going to try again. We'll be in

contact. Let's keep your phone number.

It's bad luck this time, but maybe next

time.

It's off.

Everyone's gone. Everyone's gone home.

The lawyers went home. The cops went

home. It's over.

Yeah, we got guys here telling us they're

going to kill us. So we need to get

pictures. What?Those

last guys at the beach are here saying

they're going to kill us. Who's going to

kill us?The guys we got in the house. Why?

We want money for going around looking

for girls.

Get a picture of the

thing.

I'm going to go get this. Guys from the

beach, they were bringing us-- they were

bringing us kids. They wanted more money,

and so they showed up at our house. And

they knew we were where we were because

they actually helped us get the house.

They showed up, tried to extort us and

threatened to kill us.

The sooner they get over here with guns,

the better. Maybe maybe even send some

more folks over with guns just in case

the threat is real.

Oh boy.

What are

you

going to do?

No.

ohh

When

the operation in Cartena failed, it was

honestly one of the most depressing days

of my life.

It was unfathomable that

we had to watch 11 kids

leave our presence and go back into the

streets with these traffickers.

And there was nothing I could do aboutit.

I found some solace in a church, a

cathedral downtown Cartagena.

I went there and learned about. The first

abolitionist in the Americas, Pedro

Claver. This was a guy who had

a lot of failed attempts at eradicating

slavery himself, but he didn't give up.

He continued throughout his life to be an

abolitionist. I was able to

receive some comfort from from the father

who who ran the church, who understood

the evil of

slavery. Cathedral Tan,

Tan Bonito, Y

It's a

problem

that has never truly been eradicated,

but that does not mean that we shouldn't

move forward, that we shouldn't continue

to fight. I've sent

Batman deeper into Latin America.

He's in Ecuador, working to see what we

can find there.

A cabo de salir de esta pesadilla a se

casidos meses we rescatada en la

We're on our way to Haiti. Thousands,

thousands upon thousands of children are

fatherless, are motherless. It's a place

where traffickers come to take

children, to kidnap them, to push them

into into sex slavery, to push them into

into slave labor.

There's another reason we're going to

Haiti, and it's it's personal to me.

I have a friend there. His name is

Gessno. He lost his son Gardy.

He was kidnapped and trafficked. And

I made a promise to Gesno when I was an

agent that I would do all I can to find

his son. And so we're going there. We're

going to find this little boy and we're

going to find the traffickers who did

this to him.

Gesno is an amazing man. What he

does for a living is. He helps

children.

He runs one of the most successful

orphanages in Haiti.

Hundreds of kids come in and he seeks

homes for them. The children there,

they're happy. They love him. He's a

father figure to them. In fact,

ironically, the reason his son was

kidnapped was because he was

so successful at building an orphanage.

That people mistakenly believed he was a

rich man.

All of us are convinced involved in

Haiti. They're still there. But where?

The last time somebody thought they saw

Guardia was in Le Cay, right?Yes. So he

might, he could be there. Yeah, he used

to be there. He could be in purpose,

though. Hidden somewhere.

It was the nursery class that he was

taken out of?No, no, I would, no. It's

after the church. We were taken out. It's

after church?Kids running around. Yes,

members are seeing each other, you know,

I spent the whole church meeting

on my laps, you know, on my, in my arms.

I was teaching a lesson that day. And

after the sacrament, and I just let him

go to the mom, to the mother.

You know, and I waited for about

5 or 10 minutes, you know, talking to

members. So when we're ready to go, my

wife came back and said, Where's Cody?I

said, Look, he was with you. I said, No.

Then it happened.

I went to the police reporting that, you

know, we've lost a child. 35 minutes

later, I went to another police

department. Then my phone rang. The

call came anonymous,

you know, then I hung up.

Then they called me back immediately.

Then I see the number. I told to the

police officer, I said, look, there's a

number that I know just called me and

asking me money for the child that I've

just told you that I have lost. How much

money did they ask?150,000 American

dollars. And what happened with that?

Well Did you try to get the money?Well, I

gave them about one-- I gave them 150

Haitian goods, which is about, at that

time, 4,500 American dollars.

I paid as a ransom.

I paid that money on two occasions. They

never got the charge. And they just-- and

they didn't deliver.

We come in the front door, we always do

things above board. And we knew that if

we wanted to investigate this Guardia

case, we needed the support of the

Haitian government. We needed that case

file. We needed to open it up and pick up

wherever they left off. And so we went to

the police station to plead our case and

to get support.

We got in with the Inspector General who

runs the whole show and basically just

said whatever you guys want, you're

getting. It could not have gone better.

He pledged his full support. He told his

guys full on, this is your priority for

the week. Everyone dropped everything to

help these guys out. I believe in their

mission. I love what they're doing. This

is just the beginning. I hope that we can

work together with them more in the

future. I give you my full 100%

unequivocal support. I mean, it was

awesome. It was really, really cool.

The Haitian police actually made an

arrest in this case. His name was Carlos.

This is the guy who actually kidnapped

Gardi and tried to ransom him off

with some other thugs. We drove 3 hours

from Port-au-Prince to Le Cai, where

Carlos was in prison so we could

interrogate him, and we did. We learned

very easily that he was lying. That was

obvious, but we didn't get any full

confession. When Carlos gets into jail,

he makes this woman Amy Vros his point of

contact, his emergency point of contact.

And they still believed that she had

something to do with the kidnapping and

trafficking of Gardy. So the

logical step was to go in undercover and

see what Eros is all about, to see what

kind of business she was running.

Ohh

This is your condition. Bonjour.

Bonjour, team. Me cheetah?

OK, sis, go ahead and have a seat.

OK. Why?So

she says, we just need to be

careful. It's obviously a very sensitive

thing. We need to be careful, or else we

can become arrested. She

can become arrested. She

said that?Yeah. OK.

OK

She would.

She would buy. She would sell some kid

like this. I

think we shut her down.

It's the Haitians. It's all. I'm going to

leave it to the Haitians. It's ultimately

their decision. So we went to the

orphanage just now and just got back.

She's like, she's like, I can do it. She

said, Call me. Pick which one you

want and then call me.

Maybe she did it with a guardie.

We can stop her, though.

Yeah. What do you think?

Do you think she, do you think she?

But if she did, if she did, we can, we

can find, that's what, that's why we need

to get her, right?We get her in

the hot seat. Did you dig, is that what

you did to Guardi?Did you traffic Guardi?

What do you think?Do you like the plan?I

like it. I love it. I love it. And that

would be a blessing for the people that

are suffering over there. I know they're

suffering. I

mean, let's let's face it, these kids

that we're going to save tomorrow, they

are on the they're on the the auction

block. They're being sold. Any

gross pedophile can come in and buy any

of them. Any trafficker can buy any of

them like this. Look how easy it is.

Here's some cash. Take the kid out.

Wow. Yeah, this, this is, this

will do. This will

do. This is good. This

is good. This

is actually a great lookout because the

arrest will probably happen right there.

Where that truck is, that's that's where

that's where the that's where we talked

about it happening. Hey, hey

Oh, hey. I remember you.

Yeah, here. Let me just show them the

roof so we can get the guesses right.

Montreux de OA

de Machin police yo-yo, ma'am.

Epi.

A sandwich. Like

a sandwich. Yeah.

OK. Should

we kind of go outside and

just talk about

where the undercover is going to be

and show it?Yeah, let's walk him out and

just kind of show him.

The goal is to go straight from the

orphanage with her in our car and coming

directly here. When we called to confirm,

she said, oh, one slight change. You

know, I know I told you $10,000, but

actually I wouldn't. I had to check with

the other authorities. I don't know if

there really are authorities, but the

other directors, they said actually

it's $15,000. She's not doing much but

collecting cash and selling kits.

It's in God's hands now. We

are planned. We're ready.

Hello. Hello

Hey, little guy. Hi, Colin. Hi, Colin.

Yeah.

Hi. Say to ask her. You can't separate

these two, can you?He said, yeah, you

could. That'd be horrible, wouldn't it?

Ask her. Tell her. That'd be so sad.

Is it brother and sister?

Are they

healthy, all these kids?

Yes.

All right, let's go. We're going to hit

it.

As we were loading up, Yvros asked

another lady to come along with us. It

turned out it was her daughter, and I

wanted to know what her daughter knew.

And so I asked her if this was going to

be a dangerous thing we were doing. And

she stated unequivocally that absolutely

it was dangerous. This was illegal, in

fact, and that we could get in big

trouble. When are their birthdays?

We had a female undercover Haitian

officer playing the role as our nanny,

the lady who would come and take care of

these kids for us as we took them out of

the country. And Yves Rose came up with

this idea as we were negotiating. She

said that we should tell the kids. That

this Haitian officer, who was our nanny,

tell the kids that her name is Mama. That

is her legal official name. So that if

officers were to stop us at any point

along our smuggling route, the kids would

refer to this nanny as Mama,

and somehow that would help us to getout.

So when we count, when we count the

money, they don't want the kids to see

that. Yeah

I'm going to lay it out and you count in

in Creole. So there's a

real clear

12345678910.

OK, OK,

OK, so we'll

go. Let's get

out

of here. Maybe Thursday, Thursday

or Friday.

You can get down. Everyone just

get

down. Get down. Get empty.

Put your

head down.

ohh Who called the police, man?We haven't

done anything. We

can't do that.

Yeah. Yeah

He's like,

oh, these things are

over.

You don't

even

know how prevalent this

is. Little kids this age

being forced into sexual exploitation.

Like, you you have no concept of how real

and how huge it is. How huge it is.

There's thousands of people who do this

and they would love to get their hands on

little kids like this. And they're this

age and they're this age.

So this is

and I fear that people won't understand

because she doesn't look like a bad guy.

What a huge problem is. They never look

like bad guys. I've arrested dozens of

bad guys. None of them look like bad

guys. They look like you. They look like

me. But at the end of the day.

You can't traffic children. At the end of

the day, there's laws put in place to

protect kids. And one of those laws,

surprise, surprise, is you can't sell

them. You can't sell human

beings and put a price tag on them. And

that's what these two people did. Both of

them did it. Both of them knew they were

doing it. They didn't know who we were.

They knew us for an hour and no idea who

we were. If you guys were traffickers,

you'd come in just like this.

All the necessary

authorities know who we are. The judge

knows exactly who we are. He he's it's a

process they need to do like it's just a

step needs to happen. In Haiti you

need to have you need to have proof.

Yeah, that's part of the proof. The judge

sees the money. And he sees the kids.

He sees the fires.

Sell the kid. I

sell it. You're here.

People

are selling kits at

the at at the

office.

You're here because they they are

arrested. You've been arrested.

That's who you sell 2 kits.

I've seen the case.

I'm just

not in the case.

If you don't tell the truth right now,

it's going to get worse and worse and

worse for you.

Now I want to know why you get arrested.

I get

arrested because I brought those two kids

at the hotel and they give me money for

them. She said yes. I

think she just said yes. I said I would

sell the kids. It's quiet.

That's called trafficking in English.

It's completely quiet.

It sounds emotional.

It's just resonating what you

just said.

Finding Gardy's a miracle, right?But

everything's come down to this point.

Like, she's admitting that five years ago

she did this. There's a reason I feel

like we're here. There's a reason, you

know what I mean?There's a reason we got

to this point. Like, this is the pivotal

moment right here. Will she just say it?

Will she say, yes, I sold, I sent,

I sent Gardy. You know what I mean?Like,

I think we should pray it right now.

Let's say it pray really first. He

started. Heavenly

Father, we we ask you to

please, please answer

all the millions of prayers that have

gone up to find this little boy.

If he's alive, and if she,

if if Frost knows where he's at,

please, please soften her

heart.

So that she will reveal this information

to us.

We plead with you to hear these prayers

and do all you can to to influence her to

do this. We might follow through and find

guardian. We say these things in the name

of Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen.

He just asked you to guard him, Marty,

the one that was kidnapped. This is the

time when you come clean on everything

right now. No

more lies. No more lies. Right now, you

can't give lie. We have all the evidence,

everything. This is the moment for you.

Point us in the right direction. We won't

send your daughter

to Brisbane.

She lied at first, then she confessed.

She-- She said yeah.

We worked that angle. That's the angle we

worked. She was very distraught because

she was already in such big trouble.

Where are the kids?

They were taken by the events,

took them to a place. And now I'm going

to go to your best tomorrow, because we

have to go tomorrow to the orphanage and

take all the other kids out. And when we

go to the orphanage, we're going to look

around still. They need to ask all the

older kids. Show a picture of Gardy. Can

you see this boy?

We're closer. We're closer. You know

we're closer. You know, I was hoping so

badly tonight would be the night.

The next day we went back to Eros'

illegal orphanage with the Child

Protection Services of Haiti to find

evidence about where Gardi might be and

also to get these kids out of there.

We pulled back the curtain on this

criminal enterprise and we were

absolutely shocked at what we saw.

Inhumane conditions, starving kids laying

there in their own feces. Just broken,

broken children. We couldn't wait to pull

them out and bring them to a place of

light. Each and every one of these

kids got pulled out of this place and

were taken to a good place. A lot of

them, a good number of them, ended up

going to Gessner's orphanage, a place

that we know is a place of light and

righteousness. And we got to go visit

them and be with them and see them be

healed.

And I lost book of message of

my

favorite

connect

economy

Pego this

year.

The

case in Colombia is different. The case

in Colombia is dealing with victims who

are already at that point where they're

being sexually exploited. They're being

forced into sex slavery.

We're back in Cartagena. Our spirits are

high. It feels much different than

when we left last time. We're going to

save these kids. In fact, we're going to

save more than what we were going to last

time. We're going to get the ones from

last time, about 15 more. We're

very encouraged that that this time it

will work. This time we will be

victorious.

We've been in close contact with the team

of prosecutors here in Colombia and

they're ready. They have their ducks in a

row. They've done all the legal

preparations necessary so that when these

guys show up with kids. These guys are

going to jail and they're not going to

get out. There's a

place in in one of the street markets

there where they openly sell child porn

in Guatemala. Yeah, you just walk

up and they got the video like here you

see the videos for sale. But these are

just straight up child porn

And they do that because there's demand.

People want to buy that, but they want to

buy that. And that's just, I mean those

people, those people are going to be.

You know, there's got to be another part

in hell, extra special,

just for those people. How

you

doing?.

These

traffickers actually will present these

children in these catalogs, children who

they are trying to sell. for sex. When I

see these kids in his catalog, it it

makes me want to do whatever I can to

find out where they are, where they're

being held, and throw all the resources

we can to pull them out.

oh There's There's plenty

of

places to hide cameras in this in this

room. It's just so

important that we have just this place

wired audio-video, like, perfectly.

What's happening

to you?All

right, so what do we got?We got some new

chickens. Yeah, what is?I got to go see

these six girls tonight, OK?Six chickens.

This girl, this guy, chicken is.

So you're talking about an extra 8

chickens?Yeah, 25, no, it

gives us 18 is what it does. The girls

that were there last time are coming

again, all of them, all of them are

coming because there's a couple of them

that were nice. I'll call you later today

and tell you where we're going to have

you meet, split up into two groups. We

don't want the whole town going, Gee,

where the hell is these 40 girls going?

Because right now I'm working on 18

girls. So I mean, if you need more than

that, of the girls that we already have

that are sure, how many of them are

actually minors?We have

seriously minors. I've got

nine that are minors. What are the ages?

I've got between 15. I got. I've

got 113 between 13 and 16 years old. I've

got a man. OK. I've got one that's 13

right now. That'll make me happy. Cool.

All right. Peace. Be careful. I'll call

you tonight. Good to see you. This

should be a major. Talking 25

kids, 30 kids.

And 5-6 guys going to jail for 30 years.

It's a big case. If this

works and the Colombian government is

willing to let us do this stuff, there's

lots of places to go here. Lots of

places. We're going to want a bunch of

girls out in the courtyard. Well, it's

quinceanera. No, we're going to tell them

it's quince. And they're going to dress.

We can. We make some signs that say

quinceanera, they whatever name and point

in this direction, balloons on the house

door. That's totally what we're going to

do. Yeah, that is totally what we're

going to do. We're going to make a sign

that says Feliz Complanos A Maria. We'll

get some balloons. Those girls can do

that. Yeah. So we're going to put that on

the door just in case. And that's for

lookie loos outside. We see 30 girls, 30

minors walking into a house thinking, Oh

my gosh, if they see a sign says happy

birthday, that's a birthday party. You

know, no big deal.

This is a this is a Colombian operation,

first and foremost. I want to make that

very clear. We we don't we don't have the

authority on our own to do this. This is

a this is a Colombian operation and

they're the top of this. So I want you to

understand how this is going to go down.

So first I'm going to tell you where the

where the Colombian officers are going to

be. OK. So there's going to be 6 up in

this room right where you're right now

staging for outside

surveillance, watching things from the

outside and who will also be in charge of

making sure everyone gets out and gets to

the rendezvous point and.

Two here and then Andrew will be hanging

out in this restaurant on the corner,

doing the same thing.

The rendezvous point, which a lot of you

know is the hotel at the end of this

street. Don't talk about that outside

this room. So at 5:45, roughly, we're

going to be, we're going to make the

phone calls and they're going to confirm,

yes, we're here. And those three guys who

are going to go out and bring them in and

they're going to usher the kids. through

here and to the backyard. So we'll

probably have seven bad guys arrested.

That's the number we're shooting for.

We always have to have somebody covering

the door over there and the stairs going

up.

Cafe de Le Mar.

Yeah, if you go there, we're going to

come and meet you. I just

want them to know when the call was made,

I'm just going to do this. That means the

call was made in, like, in about two

minutes. It's going to--

the breach will happen.

Everyone's coming in. Let

me go.

Hey! Marcos,

how you doing, man?Hey, what's

up?Oh, I speak English! I'm from Florida.

Oh, man, it's about time I got some

English here,

man. Hey, so, question for you. I

was telling these guys when the boss

comes,I mean, he's very respectful, of

course, but he doesn't want to get into

like a bad situation. You know

what I mean?I get in trouble. And it's

happened before where he'll go, like some

of the younger girls, you know, start

like trying to touch him and they get

scared like they're not. Is that going to

happen here at all?No, because what I did

is from what I was explaining that he

likes, I did bring one that's

young and. for him to look at for him to

check out. She's nice. She's nice. How

old is she?She's 14 years old. And she's

here?Yeah, she's beautiful. Look, can you

point her out?Just point her out to me so

I can see. She's nice.

Are the other ones at that age, too?

But you got the one that's the youngest?

Yeah. Okay. Which one?This one. This

one?Okay.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay.

OkayOK.

OKSo she's 14.

she'd better ask. Oral sex, though?Yeah.

problems. Exactly. I talked to her. And

she's 14. Yeah. YeahYou're the man.

You're the man. It's money

These are the two. OK.

Hey, how many for him?

Ohh

300 per girl. How many girls came?

15. 4.5 million

plus his personal money. OK, count,

kind of knew ahead of time, but I

want to make sure you're good.

OK, OK

up, man. You represent the United States,

man. You're You're the slowest one. Make

police?HuhMarco?

Oh

Dude,

Drinking cigars and smoking and drinking

beer. Colombia.

That's not against

the law. They're

going to catch you lying,

dude. OK. You think so?Yeah. I bet you

20 bucks. Every girl here is over 18.

Yeah. OK. Every girl is over

18. I make sure of that. I hope you're

right, man. I'm not worried about that.

That's why I'm relaxed

right now, dude. Something

musical chairs. What's going on?

And

then there were two.

He's saying that, he's saying that

they're all 18 plus. There's no way,

dude. There's no way, right?He's just

trying his hardest. He's trying his

hardest to, hopefully. Right?The other

guy, the other guy,

Leo, leaned over to him. He's like, he's

like, okay, listen, the ones that, the

ones that are minors, like, we took

their, they're sending us away.

Yeah, there's no way. I mean, if that

there's a couple of it, not all. I mean,

there was a lot of them that I could

tell. He leaned over to me. He's like a

couple of them are are the ones that he's

like, there are. He's like, he was

winking at me. He's like, dude, stop

talking. Don't say that. Some of them,

the ones that are minor, we took theirs,

we took their IDs away, he said. So don't

worry. Oh, geez, dude.

Yeah, that whole different. Yeah, we took

them away. Slow down. We took them away.

He said at least four for sure. He took

them away. He said at least four for

sure. We took the IDs away. But they

wouldn't even have IDs if they were under

18. Maybe they're school IDs or

something. I don't know. But I don't

know. All I know is I saw those girls,

dude. There's no way.

No way. He said

here's Marcos, right?Marcos. Hey,

everything's great, dude. Don't even

worry about it. Hey, give me a lawyer.

But no, we're fine, dude. We're going

home tonight. Hey, you better give me a

lawyer.

An interesting element in the Cartagena

case was the fact that the traffickers,

in addition to the 12 and 13 year old

girls, brought these adult prostitutes

who kind of hovered over the girls, kind

of groomed them, showed them what they're

supposed to do and kept an eye on them.

And these poor little girls are kind of

mixed and mingled within this larger body

of of adult prostitutes.

Laurie was getting and say, what's your

name and how old are you?They were

playing the age games like she was like,

how old do you think I am?And they would

say, and then she'd say, how old are you?

And one girl says, well, I'm 12. Really.

Yeah. And the other girl said, well, I'm,

I'm 13. This one girl, we're sitting next

to her and I I asked her, how old

are you?And and she said I'm 18. And

there's no way she was 18. Yeah. But she

goes, yeah, I have a three-year-old.

And she said, look, here's my cesarean

something. She shows us her scars for a

baby she had three years ago.

She couldn't. I'm sure she was so small

and so young. That's the only way she

could deliver a baby. And there was no

way she was. No way. No.

And right now. And so I was surprised at

how many of those we talked to him.

They're saying, Oh yeah, I have two kids

and these these babies are having babies.

Even the ones that are saying, yeah, I'm

18, I'm 18 and I've got a seven-year-old

and a four-year-old. On

the heels of the arrest, the government

of Colombia, their child Protection

Services, marched right in and took

charge, took charge of these kids. We're

a rescue operation, but the rescue

doesn't really get completed until these

kids get rehabilitated and healed. And

the process begins right away. We make

sure the process begins right away,

working with government authorities and

also with, in this case, a private

organization called Re Nacer that comes

in and identifies these kids, tries to

find their families, and begins the

healing process for these children, which

is a very difficult process.

For us, we leave. And it

hurts because we leave with these girls

thinking that we were these sexual

predators. But that just comes with the

territory of what we're doing.

I'm so glad that we had a great success

here, but we've got so much more to do.

We can't celebrate too long. This problem

is everywhere. It's in every country.

It's in every city. And so we have a lot

more work to do. The search for Guardy

continues. I promised his father I would

never give up and I never will. Whenever

I finish one operation, I immediately

think, What am I doing for Guardy?

The news of our success has traveled

pretty rapidly. So many countries are now

asking for our help, and we're active.

We went back to Cartagena to do some

follow-up work, and as usual,

we bumped into some people who were the

vendors, people who would lead you to

traffickers. Do they do any enforcement

down here?Yes. Big trouble before this

guy from the state. I want to want to the

small girls, man. It's no good. When?When

When did that happen?Cuando?No, no, no

It's impossible. But this happened before?

No, before. You speak Spanish.

Ci, ci, ci.

Cuando. Cuando, Esto. . I don't

know.

Americano. Americano.

Americano. Americano.

I don't know,

man. I don't know. Big trouble.

Who cares?Let me show you.

For the future, I want to go to college

and

be

a English

teacher. This is. And look and look at

all over there.

The General's List basically tells the

story of

of a of a man who in the end made a

difference and he spent his entire

fortune, which was a lot of money. He

spent every dime saving

Jews. If I were to make a statement,

the parallel would be the individual

and how one person can make a tremendous

difference in the lives of other people.

The Holocaust we can do nothing about.

That's now history. Today

we're on the we're on the forefront of

another Holocaust in its own way.

In our own way, we can step up. We can

get the word out. We can contribute money

to it, to other people that are that are

making that effort and do what we can

there to stop it.
