There was a lot of them where the bad guys got away. There was some of them where I had operators that got killed. I had one operator that got stabbed 27 times in the Dominican Republic.

We had identified nine traffickers that were, and we needed to figure out how, if we just take down one of them, the rest of them just disappear and we lose those kids.

He had this huge scar that was going all the way down his neck. And I had connected with him through a taxi driver who had worked with the cartel down there who had introduced me to this guy and got us in that ring.
