Raya. Raya. Come on.

These girls work here.

They have all documents...

...passports.

And you can f*** off!

Really?

Fakes.

- Bad ones.

- And you, too, f*** off.

- Okay, Viko,

- And you, too,

...f*** you!

- Get the blankets out of the van

and get these girls out of here.

Okay, girls, come on.

You're safe. Just come.

All right, come.

Let's go, Let's go.

Don't be afraid, we can all go now.

Raya, come on.

It's going to be okay.

All right?

Come on, Raya. Let's just...

Come on, what's the matter?

What?

What's the matter?

What the f*** are you doing here?

We got a call about this raid.

Oh, yeah. From who?

Get out.

Get out. Come on, get out.

Get out. Out!

- Get out right now! Get out.

- Get your hands off me.

F***!

Don't look at these guys.

Don't be afraid of these guys.

Just say you want to go

and I can walk you... Raya,

I can walk you out of here,

right now.

You just have to say

you want to go, that's all.

Don't look at him.

Look at me.

I want you to look at me.

You safe.

You are safe.

Listen to me,

don't look at him.

Out of here!

Just get out! F***!

Okay, Raya, just look at me,

just look at me. Please.

Okay just say yes.

Just say yes.

It's all you have to do.

Raya, please.

Just say you want to go.

No.

Just say you want to go.

No.

F***! What the f***

is the matter with you?

Don't you know anything!

We are supposed

to protect these people.

- You're a crazy b*tch!

...to protect these people.

I know this girl.

I know this girl.

I can't leave her here.

Let's go. Come on,

Raya. Let's go.

I can't leave her here.

- I can't leave her here.

- Look at me! Kathy!

We cannot force them.

Nothing will hold up in court.

Please understand.

They will be brought

down here, punished.

You want blood on your hands?

You f***!

You piece of sh*t. You f***!

What the f*** is the matter

with you people?

What is the matter with you.

My husband arranged for me a job.

But his friend bought me for $2,000.

With renewed funding from USAID

the Global Displacement Agency...

...continues to be a pioneer at

international counter-trafficking.

My sister arranged for my papers.

Her boyfriend

did this for 12 other girls.

Mostly traffickers prey

on those they know,

banking on the fact

that the girl will trust them.

Traffickers can be fathers,

brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles...

Are you sure you want to see?

Excuse me.

Would you please cover her up?

Could you find a blanket, please?

Could you cover her up?

I am a police officer

obligated to report crimes.

I have taken statements from women

describing their physical...

...psychological...

...and emotional torture.

On arriving in Bosnia,

these women are sold...

...and forced to provide

sexual services.

Their clientele consists of SPOR...

...IPTF...

...local police...

...and international employees.

Worse,

they have become involved

in the trade itself.

It is time each

and every one of you realize

this is a serious organized crime...

...with enormous profits.

We are peacekeepers

who came to protect the innocent...

...but now prey upon them

in the worst ways possible.

We maybe accused

of thinking with our heart

instead of our heads...

...but we will have our humanity.

Good morning.

I have to ask you

to surrender your ID.

What?

What's going on?

You've been ordered

out of this mission.

You can't be serious.

I'll need the ID.

Thank you. Guys...

Come on.

Why do you want to get rid of her?

Madeleine, I have to protect this

organization and so should you.

The UN is too fragile, too important.

That's what immunity is for.

Immunity not impunity.

The United Nations was formed

from the ashes of Auschwitz.

The United States led the way

and it's a point of honour with me...

...that the UN is not remembered

for raping the very people

we must protect.

Those girls are whores of war.

It happens.

I will not dictate for morality.

So what are we dictating for?

I'll go to Washington. I'll go to

the State Department if I must.

Democra isn't even

based out of the States,

it's based out of England.

It's a private corporation.

We work in the real world.

Thank you so much.

Really helpful.

I had to send that e-mail.

They killed Raya.

- They shot her in the head.

- I know.

She wanted to testify

and they made an example of her.

I'm responsible for this.

No, dear, you're not.

I promised her I would protect her.

Oh God, I can't stop

thinking about her mother.

How do we tell people

what's happening here?

Democra is registered

in the UK, in Britain.

So you are entitled

to appeal your dismissal.

We've got to get those files out

of the mission right away.

Because you're a whistleblower,

so the press will want to know.

I handed in my ID and my keys.

Sh*t!

I don't know how to get in there.

We'll have to find a way.

Zoe, Zoe.

What are you doing here?

I need to get something out

of my office.

I was wondering

if you could get me a set of keys.

Kathy, I can't.

It's too risky.

I would lose my job.

I wish I could help, I really do.

I'm sorry. I'm just not like you.

You scared me.

Sorry, I didn't recognize the coat.

We don't have much time.

Kathy I can't go up there with you.

- You understand, right?

- Yes.

Alright, now make certain

you get everything.

And that includes any files

you didn't send to I.A. Or to me.

Yes.

If anybody's going to believe this,

the press needs to see it all.

Okay, I'll meet you in the atrium,

...right.

- Okay.
