Tim Ballard[about child sex trafficking]It's already surpassed the illegal weapons trade, and soon it will surpass the drug trade. Do you know why? You can sell a bag of cocaine once. A 5-year-old child, you can sell them 5-10 times a day, for 10 years straight.

Tim BallardDo you know there are 22 million new images of child porn on the Internet? That's up 5,000% from just 5 years ago. 5000%.

Tim Ballard[speaking Spanish]Miguel, I'm guessing you must be about 7 1/2, right?
Vampiro[after realizing the prostitute he slept with was 14]I picked up my .45, and I put it against my head, and I put my finger on the trigger. If there's ever a time to ask "Does God exist?", that was it.

Tim BallardIt's funny because we all read history and we think, "Oh, I would have risen up, I would have fought, I would have been an abolitionist and tell them." No, you wouldn't have.
Tim BallardIf you would have, you'd be doing that right now.
Tim BallardYou know trafficking exists, you've heard of it, but you don't want to look.

ChrisLet me ask you something. How many pedophiles you caught?
VampiroThese gentlemen want to build a one-of-a-kind members-only club in Cartena. Annual fee: one hundred grand per member.
[which immediately intrigues El Calacas]
VampiroThey 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.

VampiroThen 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...
VampiroOut of nowhere she starts talking. Turns out she's not 25, not even 20.
VampiroThis girl is 14 years old, Timoteo. - She's been doing it since she was 6.
VampiroLooks at me, - smiles, - takes the money, - walks out the door.
Vampiro[dramatic pause, takes a drink]All of a sudden I'm hit by a tidal wave, - this tsunami of darkness. And I know, - I'm the sadness in her eyes. - Me. - I'm the darkness.
