- Vampiro: [about the kids singing and clapping after being rescued] Do you hear that? That's the sound of freedom.
- Tim Ballard: Amen.
- 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 Ballard: Do 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?
- Miguel: Is this April?
- Tim Ballard: No, it's July, July 12th. Why?
- Miguel: Then I'm 8.
- 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 Ballard: It'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 Ballard: If you would have, you'd be doing that right now.
- Tim Ballard: You know trafficking exists, you've heard of it, but you don't want to look.
- Chris: Let me ask you something. How many pedophiles you caught?
- Tim Ballard: As of today, 288, not so bad.
- Chris: How many kids you found?
- Tim Ballard: It is a high probability that most of those kids are outside of the US, Chris. So our jobs, is to get the pedophiles. And that's it.
- Chris: It's a messed up world, right?
- Vampiro: I think I may have to expand your mind to an entirely new reality.
- El Calacas: Okay?
- Vampiro: These 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]
- Vampiro: They 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.
- El Calacas: How young?
- Tim Ballard: [enters] Shock me. Which one is this?
- Vampiro: El Calacas.
- [they laugh]
- Vampiro: He used to deliver escorts for Escobar. He sold me a chicken last year, nine years old.
- El Calacas: And she was...
- [makes appreciative gesture by kissing the tips of his fingers]
- Vampiro: Then 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...
- Vampiro: Out of nowhere she starts talking. Turns out she's not 25, not even 20.
- Vampiro: This girl is 14 years old, Timoteo. - She's been doing it since she was 6.
- Vampiro: Looks 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.
- Vampiro: And I know, - the darkness has to die.
