Synopsis: Adriana is a 13-year-old girl from Mexico City whose kidnapping by sex traffickers sets in motion a desperate mission by her 17-year-old brother, Jorge, to save her. Trapped and terrified by an underground network of international thugs who earn millions exploiting their human cargo, Adriana's only friend and protector throughout her ordeal is Veronica, a young Polish woman tricked into the trade by the same criminal gang.

have any business at all

Looks like you can't handle this job.

You have to deal with Vadim on this

and it's not going to be very pleasant.

What a loser.

You're an imbecile.

Let's go Adriana,

we got things to do.

I'm leaving got to take care of business.

Hello! Welcome to the Holiday Inn,

how may I help you?

I need two rooms if you got them.

Single or double, sir?

Let's see what you got..

It's fake.

You have internet here?

Sure, in the amusement center over there.

The passwords is (?), right?

Would you like to pay on a credit card?

Excuse me,

my wallet is here.

Be right out.

Hey... 2 pm

Here is your room key,

you go up and get some rest.

I'll be in his office,

I'm going over there now.

Detective Sheridan, how exactly

did you get involved in this case?

Ray not only investigates insurance fraud.

But in resent occasions he also get's involved with...

Detective Jefferson, no offense, but I like

to hear the story from Detective Sheridan himself.

The bottom line is, this girl

will be auctioned of in a few hours,

And I need to know what you

guys gonna do about that auction,

Look we've been monitoring this

group for quit some time.

We know where there Jersey operations are.

Ray, the real problem is

that this thing is global

Even though this group might be based in Mexico City,

they have operations all over the US..

And over every one of the continents.

Their server for example,

is located somewhere in Maldives.

Their banking is in South Africa.

There are many jurisdictions at work here

CIA, State Department, the

Interpol etc... etc...

So what we do is follow the money, connect

all the dots and we'll come up with the source.

I get all that, but you know

where the operation is in New Jersey.

Yeah.

But you can't be bothered and do

anything about this little Mexican girl,

You got bigger plans.

That's what you're saying,

or did I hear you wrong?

Well gentlemen, if you excuse me?

Thanks you

We are the f***ing Gringos, aren't we?

Sorry?

I said we are the f***ing Gringos!

Hi Patty, I'll be home in a few more days.

I want you to take out a big hunk

of money from our savings.

But I don't wanna do it unless

you say it's alright.

I guess I wont have to ask what it's for.

I'll tell you all about it when I get home,

and I promise no more secrets.

Have you found her?

Karla?

Karla that's her name?

Yeah.

Ray... if you find your daughter,

I want you to bring her home.

If I do, I will.

Patty...

Yeah?

Thanks you

You shouldn't thank me

for loving you, Ray.

Bye bye.

Hey, hey,

what's going on?

I got us some money,

you and me gonna do the auction.

And what about your friend?

Forget about him.

Sure you got tell to me something Gringo.

Why are you doing this?

Who is it?

It's my daughter.

Your daughter?

Yeah.

This is what you've been looking for?

That picture was taken 10 years ago,

I really don't know what I'm looking for.

I met her mother just after I was married

To Patty my wife,

and I was a happily married man

And then I met Eleanore,

and everything changed. She was...

Oh she was so... wild and alive.

I don't know what I was expecting

but I was ready to give up everything.

My marriage, everything,

so stupid! Stupid...

And then she met this other guy and...

He was everything I wasn't, I mean...

she found him exiting... and alive...

Anyway and then she told to me,

that she was pregnant with his child. And a...

That kind of did it, I left and a...

went back to Patty

Did Patty take you back?

Yep.

Go figure.

That would never happen in Mexico.

Just a few days ago I get a knock at my door from a

couple of officers and they told me that Eleanore has died.

From an overdose.

And they found this letter

in her apartment with my name on it.

That she's written 10 years

before, but never sent.

And she says she needs money,

and that Karla is my daughter.

Which I always... wondered about.

You didn't know she had a daughter did you?

I did.

We had our ups and downs years

We helped her out all we could,

but she's always in trouble

And the daughter?

In foster homes mostly,

but I always managed to get her back.

After you.

She went over the border to

Juarez about ten years ago.

Probably at the time when she

wrote you that letter.

Was her daughter with her?

We have no idea.

We do know, that she got back here

two years later,

The girl was gone

And the house was still a mess.

Did you...

Did you ask her what happened to the daughter.

She told us that she left her with her daddy.

We didn't know what kind of daddy she was talking about?

We couldn't prove anything, what are you talking about?

We think, she sold the girl

I don't know, but with junkies that happens

She sold her.

If I... if I gotten that letter 10 years before,

everything would be different.

Me and Patty always wanted a child.

She's pretty, ain't she?

Yes, she has beautiful eyes.

Green.. Like her mothers.

So, that's what you where

doing in the house in Juarez.

Well, by the time you climbed in to my trunk,

I've pretty much givin' up on everything.

But now I realized I gave up to soon.

Which is something I do a lot of...

I guess.

Veronica, I hope, you are happy in heaven.

If you can talk to Virgin Mary for me,

And ask her to have a good and

kind person buy me at the auction.

I'm very scared. Please help me.

Be well.

It's started already.

We need a name. Write: World Traveler.

Okay.

Alright we're in.

One bidder is on line, at $8,000.00,

Go $10,000.00

Little Buddha goes to twelve.

Try... try thirteen.

It's fifteen now

Go to eighteen.

A new one from South Africa went to...

All right. All right

Yeah.

Please, god help, I promise, no more tricks.

I shall not steal any more.

Go 25.

All right, all right go twenty

nine. No, go to 32,000.00.

But wait till there's only 2 seconds left

Okay.
