No, no.

Jack went to London.

He took Elle to see Skye

at a new school in London.

He went to London.

I'm sorry, Miss Aggie,

but we saw the flight confirmations.

Both he and Elle

are definitely in Greece.

Oh.

We don't know exactly

where they're staying,

but we do know that he's going

to try and sell her

at an underground auction on Friday.

- We do have that address.

- Auction.

There's still time. We can get in

and we can get her back.

Miss Aggie,

listen, I know how scary

this must be for you.

See I work for an organization

here in Louisiana

called Trafficking Hope.

And unfortunately,

we see this kind of thing all the time.

Alicia's organization is also working

with a group in Greece,

and they specialize

in rescuing women out of trafficking.

And they promised to help us.

We're not alone in this, Miss Aggie.

Hey, Wil.

You're gonna want

to take a look at this.

- Dad.

- Yeah.

Come see this.

- What made you look for this?

- I was going through

Jack's emails and something

just wasn't lining up about Skye

being at that school.

So I kept digging.

- There it was.

- There what was?

Miss Aggie, why don't you sit down.

No. No, thank you.

Okay. I'm not sure how to tell you this.

But Skye is...

not at an art school in London.

Several months ago

Jack took her to Greece

- and sold her to a brothel.

- No.

I know that's not true

because my Skye girl,

she's been sending me emails,

telling me how much

she loved that school.

You've been getting emails,

but they've been from Jack.

This is a fake account.

Good Lord.

That poor girl's been in

a brothel all this time?

- It looks like it.

- No.

I'm sorry.

I'm...

Aggie's heart broke the moment

she heard those words spoken.

How could this be happening?

Her mind took her back

to the sweet innocent Skye

that she had raised all those years ago.

Oh, Skye, girl.

Ah, see.

That's the pet bird

you wanted for your birthday.

- It's beautiful.

- Yeah.

I had it made especially for you.

You know you were born

to soar the skies,

just like that bird.

Don't you ever let anybody

put you in a cage.

You hear me?

- Mama?

- Uh-Huh?

- I love it.

- You do?

I'll wear it forever.

You promise?

Give me hugs.

Look at you.

Lately I don't

Recognize you

The fire in your eyes

Is fading into ambers

So while you're out there

In the darkness

I'm praying you'll remember

Alicia, can we speak with

your people in an hour?

Absolutely.

Tyler, do you have your passport?

All right.

We're gonna leave later this afternoon.

Hey Aeton, this is Wil DuLonde.

I need you to give me a call back

as soon as you get this message.

All right? I need your help.

Thanks.

What do you think you're doing?

Dad.

You're not gonna

do this single-handedly.

Dad, we don't have time to

wait around on the government.

All right, even with

your pals at the DOS.

I'll be in and out before they can even

formulate a plan.

Wil, just let me make the

phone calls I know to make.

Dad, I've been face-to-face

with some of the most

dangerous men in the world.

All right, I'm here.

I'm fine.

I can handle some

small town brothel owners.

Trafficking isn't a two-bit

organization, especially in Greece.

Guys, I'm aware of the risk.

Look at that picture.

That's Skye.

She looks just like Madison.

Yes, she does.

And what if it was Madison?

Would you not move

heaven and earth to get her?

Of course.

I couldn't be here for Madison, Dad.

Let me get these girls.

Please?

I know. Okay.

Miss Aggie.

We'll need you to go with us.

- What? I'm going to Greece?

- Yes, ma'am.

I know it's more dangerous for you

because you know Jack,

but we'll keep you sequestered

until we have the girls.

And once we have them, and you're there,

- they'll know they're safe.

- Yes, they will.

- Should your father and I go?

- Oh, no, no.

- Absolutely not.

- Dad's right.

The less amount of people

that know Jack, the better.

- But you could be recognized.

- I'll be fine, Mom.

And we'll keep you guys updated

every step of the way.

Miss Aggie, are you okay?

Oh, yes, I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

I'll do whatever it takes

to get my girls back.

So will I.

Trafficking was my new battlefield.

It was up to me to bring

Skye and Elle back home.

And I would stop at nothing.

Hurry up and finish.

The judges meet tonight.

Could you speed it up?

When I come back you'd better be ready.

Please answer, Mom, please, please.

What have you been doing?

Come on, let's go.

Okay.

Shh, shh.

- Tyler, I need you to check us in.

- Sure.

All right?

I'll be back.

- Where's he going?

- He's going to meet Aeton.

That's Wil's friend

who used to work

for the Greek Special Forces.

They met back in 2009,

when Wil came over to do some training.

Basically, Aeton's our ticket

into everywhere we need to go.

- Oh, that's a sign.

- What?

Wil's man, Aeton.

You think it's a coincidence

they met way back when?

No, no.

That's a sign.

No way.

That's a sign that my God

has been planning this since '09.

Yeah, he's gonna rescue the girls.

Let's get checked in.

- Taylor? Tyler?

- Tyler.

Tyler. Yeah, that's right.

Come on, now.

Where we going?

- Right this way.

- Okay.

Maxie!

Appreciate you coming out

of retirement for me, brother.

Only for you.

Were you able to make

any sense out of those faxes?

I think so,

but I can't believe your Uncle Jack

left all that info on his laptop.

Yeah, he's an idiot.

All I knew about Greece before

were beautiful islands

and the kind-hearted people,

but they, too, were dealing with

the horrors of human trafficking.

In a city with a population

of over 600,000...

we were attempting to find Skye.

With the help of my special

ops contact, Aeton,

we would search the red-light

district brothel by brothel.

I had no idea

what I was about to witness.

How do you look someone in the eye

that is being tortured every day

and not want to storm in

and rescue them.

Before we dive into our search,

there are two majors.

- All right, go.

- Number one.

The brothels here are nothing

like you would expect.

They look more like

residential apartments.

You know them by the light bulbs

at each door,

and once you're in the brothel district,

they are everywhere.

Literally, hundreds in Athens alone.

Wow.

Yeah, prostitution

is legal here, so, yeah.

So we look quick.

What's number two?

In Greece,

everything is done through relationship.

Especially to get into things,

like the auction,

this Friday.

It's all about who you know,

not how much money you have.

So you're gonna have

to let me do the talking.

All right.

I'm with you.

Great.

Tomorrow is our big meeting

to get access to the auction

where Jack is trying to sell Elle.

As far as finding Skye,

the organization here

has been a real help.

We went through the faxes

you sent and narrowed down

some areas where she might be.

But,

after being here for months...

Skye could be anywhere.
