00:01:30All rise, court is now in session.
00:01:34The Honorable Judge Mesler presiding.
00:01:36Sit down.
00:01:55Mr. and Mrs. Sarr, I understand you are waiving your right to a jury, is that correct?
00:02:00Yes, Your Honor.
00:02:02And you understand the charges against you, Mrs. Sarr?
00:02:05Yes.
00:02:06You are charged with conspiracy, holding a person in involuntary service.
00:02:13How do you plead?
00:02:17Not guilty, Your Honor.
00:02:19Right. Let us proceed.
00:02:29You'll stay in here until I return.
00:02:32No!
00:02:34No!
00:02:34No, no, no!
00:02:42No college will take you with a C in calculus, or you want to end up in a community college, huh?
00:02:48Okay, I have four AP classes. I'm working my ass off. What more do you want from me?
00:02:53Do not use that language with your father.
00:02:55Look, I want a son that I can be proud of.
00:02:59Why do you think you came to America, huh? So you can have a good education and a good life.
00:03:05Well, I actually got all A's on my last report card.
00:03:09I have a book and a lot of people so I should have a good life with my father.
00:03:13OK.
00:03:15My dad.
00:03:15I'm always gonna go to the doctor's house.
00:03:16I will take a look at the shop and I will go to the shop.
00:03:19Look, I can't put on my hand in the house.
00:03:20You can't put on a board.
00:03:20You can't, you can't put on a card.
00:03:22I've got the work hard.
00:03:23I can't do anything but you can do anything but I don't know.
00:03:25I can't do anything but you can put on your heart.
00:03:26I can't do anything but you can
00:03:37I can do anything.
00:03:38Where's Zach?
00:03:51Zach!
00:03:52Always late.
00:03:54Zach!
00:04:16Do you speak Spanish?
00:04:28Hey, your eyes are here.
00:04:32My God.
00:04:33What's wrong?
00:04:35This woman is very rich, but very sweet.
00:04:40You come to the middle.
00:05:04Sweetie, I think you are a little hard on the girl.
00:05:09What do you mean?
00:05:10She's here to help us.
00:05:13She's your niece.
00:05:15You brought her to this country because your sister wanted a better life for her.
00:05:19This is a much better life than anything she could have had back home.
00:05:24And it's just building her character.
00:05:27Still.
00:05:29She is too young to be working this hard.
00:05:32Oh my God.
00:05:33I worked twice as hard when I was in her age.
00:05:37You know where you were when you were her age.
00:05:40It's a much better life than her age.
00:06:02Accident?
00:06:03What are you doing?
00:06:33I'm going to the market. Don't answer the phone and don't open the door.
00:07:03Elena? Why are you not up? You're not dying. This is your period that started. Here, you see this?
00:07:31Put this in your underwear. Change it every time you go to the bathroom. Do not flush it down the toilet.
00:07:37Now get up and go wash your clothes and your sheets. Come on!
00:07:41Come on!
00:07:49Hello!
00:08:11Hello!
00:08:18Do you speak English?
00:08:20Hey! How come you don't go to school like your brothers and sisters?
00:08:35Your Honor, I'd like to call Suzanne Sahal to the stand.
00:08:42Miss Sahal, you understand that you're under oath?
00:08:56Yes.
00:08:57Can you please describe how you treated the defendant?
00:09:04We treated her like one of our own children.
00:09:07And do your own children do chores?
00:09:11Some.
00:09:12Such as?
00:09:14They had to do their school work.
00:09:17School work is not a chore.
00:09:19For some it is.
00:09:21And what about the victim? What kind of chores did she have?
00:09:24Well, Leila cleaned our house and she prepared our meals.
00:09:28This is nothing more than American housekeepers would do.
00:09:31American housekeepers don't work 18 hours a day, seven days a week.
00:09:36And they're not 13-year-old children, Sahal.
00:09:39Objection.
00:09:40The number of hours per week has not been substantiated.
00:09:43Okay, fine.
00:09:45For now we will say X hours per week,
00:09:48but I think it's been well substantiated that this happened over an 18-month period
00:09:52when the victim was between 12 and 14 years old.
00:09:55In my country it is customary to employ children her age to help the domestic health.
00:10:01I was just following the customs of my homeland.
00:10:04Notwithstanding U.S. child labor laws,
00:10:07American housekeepers get to leave their jobs at the end of the day,
00:10:11and, well, they can resign if they feel so inclined.
00:10:13Leila could have left anytime she wanted.
00:10:16Oh, really?
00:10:18And done what?
00:10:19Hopped on a plane and go back to her family?
00:10:21Objection.
00:10:22We are addressing the nature of the alleged victim's relationship to the Sahals,
00:10:27not some hypothetical hardship should she have separated from their employee.
00:10:32Sustained.
00:10:35Whether the relationship can be described as employee is yet to be determined.
00:10:39Oh, Miss Sahal, I do have one last question.
00:10:43Did you or any member of your family ever strike the girl?
00:10:48Objection, questions must pertain to the defendant only.
00:10:55Did you ever strike the alleged victim?
00:10:59Never.
00:11:01No further questions, Your Honor.
00:11:02No further questions, Your Honor.
00:11:03No further questions, Your Honor.
00:11:08No further questions.
00:11:09Good times.
00:11:10No further questions, Your Honor.
00:11:11No further questions, Nicolai.
00:11:12Hi.

00:15:31Here, have a seat.
00:15:33I got you a surprise.
00:15:43A book. It's an English book. I'll teach you.
00:15:53So, we can start with the letter A. That's the first letter, okay?
00:16:02Okay. So, look, uh, A is A.
00:16:10A?
00:16:11A. Again.

00:17:08Favourite?
00:17:28Presents for a family.
00:17:31Look what Santa Claus brought, she exclaimed.
00:17:38Who is Santa Claus?
00:17:41You don't know who Santa Claus is?
00:17:45Okay, he's a make-believe, like an elf or a dragon.
00:17:51And he brings presents on Christmas to all the good children in the world.
00:17:56And he's jolly, and he says, ho ho ho ho.
00:18:01Oh, he is the fat man in the red suit?
00:18:04Yes, but he is not real.
00:18:07I know that. He is in cartoons.
00:18:11Do not look at her with those evil eyes. She's your cousin.
00:18:21My cousin, huh? Don't you think it's strange she doesn't look like any of us?
00:18:25What do you mean?
00:18:26Have you ever asked mother which of her sisters is Leila's mother?
00:18:32You know, I do not track your insiduations about your mother.
00:18:36The only thing that concerns me is the impure thoughts in your heart.
00:18:40Go!
00:18:41Go!
00:18:49Go!
00:18:51Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah.

00:20:13Astaghfirullah.
00:20:14Astaghfirullah.
00:20:15No.
00:20:17You have to be careful.
00:20:19Here, siéntate.
00:20:21Papi, let me do it.
00:20:23No, just sit.
00:20:27What?
00:20:31What?
00:20:33Who are you?
00:20:41Where are your parents?
00:20:43My parents are in a country
00:20:45very far away.
00:20:47My family is
00:20:49very, very poor.
00:20:51We were to Hungary all the time.
00:20:53At least here, I'm not Hungary.
00:21:01But do you ever miss them?
00:21:03I have brothers and sisters
00:21:05and they live in Mexico.
00:21:07I miss them all the time.
00:21:09But
00:21:11me and my papi send them money.
00:21:13I barely remember my family.
00:21:23Look.
00:21:25This is going to be
00:21:27beautiful.
00:21:29Like you.
00:21:31You.
00:21:33You.
00:21:35You.
00:21:37You.
00:21:39You.
00:21:41You.
00:21:43You.
00:21:47You.
00:21:49You.
00:21:53You.
00:21:55You.
00:21:57I don't know.
00:22:27They shout, and they shout every night.
00:22:46Someone is always shouting about something.
00:22:49Miriam, your clothes are like a whore.
00:22:50Adam, you cannot date an American girl.
00:22:53Every night.
00:22:57What are you doing?
00:23:00What?
00:23:02That.
00:23:07Are you trying to shake something out of your hair?
00:23:10No.
00:23:11I saw the American woman do it on TV.
00:23:14With her new hair.
00:23:17You don't have to do that.
00:23:19Your hair is already...
00:23:20So, um...
00:23:29How come you can read and do math, but you don't go to school?
00:23:36When I was in Mexico, I went to school.
00:23:40Do you want to go back to Mexico?
00:23:42No, never.
00:23:45Never.
00:23:46I don't know.
00:24:16You're still getting bad grades in calcals.
00:24:29Look, Papa, what's the big deal with calc?
00:24:32I'm getting A's in everything else.
00:24:33Mathematics is the foundation of all technology and sciences.
00:24:38Math is the key to every success.
00:24:41Well, why don't you ask him about the numbers on his hand?
00:24:46It's nothing.
00:24:47What is it?
00:24:47Just a reminder. Homework problems.
00:24:49Homework?
00:24:50Yes.
00:24:51Written on your hand by a beautiful American girl.
00:24:55I mean, that looks like a phone number to me.
00:24:57An American girl?
00:24:59We live in America.
00:25:00What's the big deal if I wanted an American girl?
00:25:03He can date?
00:25:05No, he cannot date.
00:25:06Neither you do.
00:25:08Suzanne, this is your son.
00:25:10You raised him this way.
00:25:11Okay, and now you put all the fault in this life on me.
00:25:15You wanted to raise them the way you want?
00:25:18You forget where we come from?
00:25:20I want some rice.
00:25:23Okay.
00:25:24Be nice to the girl.
00:25:29The girl.
00:25:31I know.
00:25:32I don't want him to date an American girl either.
00:25:35Take away his car.
00:25:37No.
00:25:37No, not that girl.
00:25:39Talking about Layla.
00:25:41What about her?
00:25:46Which sister is her mother?
00:25:49What?
00:25:51Look at me.
00:25:56When you went back home and you brought a girl that I was not expecting,
00:26:00and you told me she was your niece.
00:26:02So, which niece is she?
00:26:09My sister, Sarah.
00:26:12That's not what the document says.
00:26:15Document?
00:26:17I found the contract between you and Layla's parents,
00:26:20and there is no Sarah's name on it.
00:26:23And since when do sisters have to write a contract, huh?
00:26:27Tell me!
00:26:31Okay.
00:26:32Sarah adopted her.
00:26:34She begged me to bring her here,
00:26:36just for a better life.
00:26:38After all I did for you,
00:26:40you do this to me, huh?
00:26:42I didn't do anything wrong.
00:26:44There's nothing wrong with it.
00:26:45You lied to me!
00:26:47This is what's wrong!
00:26:48Everything that I did
00:26:57was motivated by the desire
00:26:59to perform a charitable act
00:27:01for an impoverished family in my country.
00:27:04Don't you think that I could have hired
00:27:05a Mexican housekeeper in this country much easier?
00:27:09Really?
00:27:09For $30 a month?
00:27:12What?
00:27:14How much did she say?
00:27:15Really?
00:27:16For $30 a month?
00:27:17My God, it's not very much, is it?
00:27:20Huh?
00:27:21Sorry, proceed.
00:27:24We paid Layla's family more than $30 a month.
00:27:27She's lying if she says otherwise.
00:27:31$30 is ridiculous.
00:27:33Excuse me, Your Honor?
00:27:34I'd like to show you Exhibit C.
00:27:37This is a contract
00:27:38between Miss Sahal
00:27:40and Layla's parents
00:27:42for $30 a month
00:27:44for the term of 10 years.
00:27:47Well, $30
00:27:48for a poor family like that
00:27:50is equivalent to $300 American dollars.
00:27:53Then why didn't you just send them the money?
00:27:55Why work the child to the bone?
00:27:58Objection.
00:27:58To the bone is figurative language.
00:28:00It's non-quantifiable.
00:28:02Okay, fine.
00:28:02Then let's try this.
00:28:05Did the child come here willingly?
00:28:08Yes.
00:28:10She came very willingly.
00:28:11I said, no casa, no comida.
00:28:15Ah, Dios mio.
00:28:17Americans, they throw everything out.
00:28:19Everything.
00:28:20Everything is garbage to them.
00:28:23Can you fix it or what?
00:28:25If I can't fix it,
00:28:27no one can.
00:28:31Papi, can I ask you something?
00:28:32Can I go to school?
00:28:42My back, mijo.
00:28:44If our employers see me struggle,
00:28:47they will find someone younger
00:28:48and stronger.
00:28:51Comprende?
00:28:54Toma.
00:28:56Screw them back in.
00:28:57Bien, si.
00:29:15Got all the school you need right here.
00:29:17You want math?
00:29:18Get a lapis, I show you math.
00:29:25What else you want me to do fixed?
00:29:26What?
00:29:27What is that?
00:29:56You tell anyone about this,
00:30:18I'll let the police know that you're here
00:30:20and they'll come and put you in jail.
00:30:24Do you know what they do to little girls
00:30:26like you're in jail?
00:30:47Hey!
00:30:48What's up?
00:30:49What's up?
00:30:50Let's do this!
00:30:51Let's go!
00:30:52Let's go!
00:30:53Look!
00:30:54There are woods that help us explain it.
00:31:00We can read and figure it out.
00:31:01Mm-hmm.
00:31:02It doesn't matter.
00:31:03Don't you want to find out how Sherlock Holmes solved the mystery?
00:31:04No!
00:31:05No!
00:31:06No!
00:31:07No!
00:31:08No!
00:31:09No!
00:31:10Look, there are words that help us explain it.
00:31:23We can read and figure it out.
00:31:26It doesn't matter.
00:31:28Don't you want to find out how Sherlock Holmes solved the mystery?
00:31:32No. No.
00:31:34Math is the key to every success.
00:31:37Where's your algebra book, Miriam?
00:31:39It was here. I don't... I don't know. I... I... I guess I don't have it.
00:31:46That's ten participation points off.
00:31:55Hey, Laila. Hi.
00:31:58We're going out. Adam and Miriam are coming with us. Zach will be home, though.
00:32:04Okay, be careful, okay? Take care.
00:32:08Zach! Zach, what's wrong? What's wrong?
00:32:23Zach! Zach, what's wrong? What's wrong?
00:32:38You want to come with your brother?
00:32:42I... I can't. I have to wait for the family.
00:32:45Do you have a phone number for them?
00:32:47I don't know it.
00:32:49Come on, we gotta go.
00:32:50Okay, tell them we're taking them to Scripps Memorial.
00:32:52Okay, I'm coming.
00:32:54Okay, I'm coming.
00:32:55Okay, I'm coming.
00:32:59Laila.
00:33:00They said he's going to be okay.
00:33:01I shouldn't be here.
00:33:02Everyone else can see you.
00:33:03Who do you think you are, huh?
00:33:04Suzanne, calm down. She did the right thing. The doctor said he could have died and his appendix would have burst.
00:33:18He'll be home tomorrow. And what about the big vomit mess she left on the carpet? Who's going to clean it, huh?
00:33:23Why don't you try to be a human being for once?
00:33:27Your Honor, the defense would like to call Sam Sahal to the stand.
00:33:57Mr. Sahal, could you please tell us what life would be like for Laila in her village had you not hired her?
00:34:19Objection, Your Honor. He did not hire her.
00:34:22Your Honor, when child actors receive wages in the U.S., they don't get paid directly. It goes to their parents.
00:34:31This is a very comparable situation where in which Laila's wages were paid directly to her parents.
00:34:37Objection overruled.
00:34:40Again, Mr. Sahal, could you tell us what life would be like in Laila's village?
00:34:45A girl like Laila would live with her parents and ten other siblings in a two-bedroom house made of crumbling concrete in a slum.
00:34:56The parents are most likely unemployed. They wouldn't know where their next meal is coming from.
00:35:02The children would live in a lice-infected mattress thrown on the floor.
00:35:09Laila, as the oldest child, was their only source of income.
00:35:15So if Laila were still living in this village, would she have any hope for education, for a career?
00:35:21Laila would have been forced to marry at age 16 or younger. She would never get a chance to go to school or get education.
00:35:33Objection, Your Honor. Speculation.
00:35:36Sustained.
00:35:38All right, Mr. Sahal, what would life be like for a girl like Laila if she remained there? Would she have any hope for an education or for a job?
00:35:49Only 15% of women in Laila's village are literate.
00:35:55Many families or parents prefer that their kids work in carpet factories or the fields.
00:36:01The percentage of female circumcision is as high as 90% of villages and small towns.
00:36:10So what is life like now for Laila in the United States?
00:36:18We live in a five-bedroom, one-million-dollar home in Chino Hills.
00:36:24She had three balanced meals.
00:36:27She had her own room, bed, and dresser.
00:36:32So from what I can see, you took Laila from a two-room hovel in an impoverished country and brought her to a California mansion.
00:36:42I mean, I don't live as well as she does.
00:36:45It sounds like the Sahals here are on trial for providing this young girl with the American dream.
00:36:51Objection, Your Honor.
00:36:54Laila was held in a rat-infested garage.
00:36:58We do not have rats.
00:36:59She had no air conditioning, no heating.
00:37:02She was held in domestic slavery.
00:37:04She got no education.
00:37:05She got no medical care.
00:37:07Federal prisoners live better than she lived.
00:37:10And now you're gonna stand there and call this the American dream?
00:37:13Objection sustained.
00:37:15Counsel, refrain from using figurative phrases like the American dream.
00:37:20Where do you think you're going?
00:37:27I told you you can't go outside.
00:37:29I'm going to give them their lunch.
00:37:32I can't take your lunch back.
00:37:33Wait.
00:37:34Um, I accidentally forgot something.
00:37:36Can you give me a minute?
00:37:37What did you forget?
00:37:38I... will...
00:37:40I give the boy a whole sandwich instead of half.
00:37:43Let me take the half out and I'll eat it the rest for lunch.
00:37:46Fine.
00:37:48Go change it.
00:37:50So...
00:37:51I'm going to try this one.
00:38:00Okay, listen.
00:38:02Like this one, I know, I don't write it.
00:38:18What's the same thing?
00:38:28Nothing, Dad.
00:38:48What do you want?
00:38:58I need to use the restroom.
00:39:00You can't use our restroom.
00:39:02I need to cagar.
00:39:04Okay.
00:39:08Fine. It's back there.
00:39:12Hey, take off your shoes.
00:39:18Senora?
00:39:20Senora, where do you want me to put your shrubs?
00:39:24I can not...
00:39:26I already explained this to you.
00:39:28I cannot stay away from you.
00:39:30There is no other way.
00:39:32If she catches me outside this house again,
00:39:34she'll take me to jail.
00:39:36That is a lie.
00:39:38She won't take you to jail.
00:39:40Who else will do the work?
00:39:42So what are you going to do?
00:39:44Visit me in the locked garage?
00:39:46Are you Superman?
00:39:52Next Wednesday, before she leaves,
00:39:56unlock the bathroom window.
00:39:58And what?
00:40:00You will crawl in?
00:40:02She will figure it out.
00:40:04She's like Sherlock Holmes.
00:40:06Please.
00:40:08Please.
00:40:10Just do it.
00:40:12Please.
00:40:18You see this?
00:40:20This is for dinner.
00:40:22Three more people.
00:40:24It's a very special occasion.
00:40:26Mr. Sal has invited his boss.
00:40:28Okay?
00:40:30Go.
00:40:31Go get it done.
00:40:32What are you doing?
00:40:40What are you doing?
00:40:44It was stuffy in here.
00:40:46What stuff?
00:40:47Come on down.
00:40:48Stuff.
00:40:49Get in there.
00:40:51Now.
00:40:54No sound.
00:40:55Family?
00:40:56I really enjoyed that.
00:41:04Oh yeah, definitely.
00:41:05That was funny.
00:41:06Well, Adam has 4.20 on his GPA.
00:41:10He's now taking three AP classes.
00:41:13Is that true?
00:41:14Mm-hmm.
00:41:16What colleges have you applied to?
00:41:18Oh, we're waiting to hear from Harvard, MIT, BU, and Stanford.
00:41:26Maya is also in the top ten of her school graduating seniors.
00:41:32And she received an early acceptance to Radcliffe.
00:41:36Impressive.
00:41:37Although, we're waiting to hear back from Columbia.
00:41:40Wow.
00:41:41Adam and Maya have a lot in common.
00:41:44Pass the restroom, please.
00:41:46Um, Maya can take you.
00:41:48It's right down the hall.
00:41:49I'm sure she can find it on her own.
00:42:01Hello.
00:42:02Please.
00:42:05I have to go to the bathroom.
00:42:12Who are you?
00:42:16A cigar?
00:42:17Anyone?
00:42:29So, Ibrahim, do you have anyone advising you about your daughter?
00:42:35Advising me about my daughter?
00:42:39I need an advice about my daughter?
00:42:42There are women that arrange these things.
00:42:46Arrange what things, Sam?
00:42:49You know, when you have a daughter and I have a son, they help us get together and...
00:42:54You're not asking me what I think you are, Sam.
00:42:58Are you talking about an arranged marriage?
00:43:03So, this is what the dinner was about?
00:43:07A matchmaking exercise?
00:43:09No.
00:43:10No.
00:43:11Of course not.
00:43:12You are...
00:43:13I left my country twenty years ago.
00:43:15I left it behind.
00:43:16Do you understand?
00:43:18I raised my daughter to be an intelligent, independent young woman.
00:43:21She makes her own choices.
00:43:22If she never gets married, that's okay.
00:43:28But we do not have to leave all the old ways behind us.
00:43:35Some of it still makes sense.
00:43:38Like parents knowing what's good for their children.
00:43:41I mean, is there anything wrong with you wanting a good son-in-law for your daughter?
00:43:46Somebody she can share heritage and tradition with?
00:43:51And then they pass it to their children.
00:43:54You know, shared values.
00:43:59Well, this one value we do not share.
00:44:16You need to make a good son-in-law for her, she is a grave.
00:44:18She is so small.
00:44:19It's a grave.
00:44:21She is an worker, she is a grave.
00:44:22She is not a grave.
00:44:24She is a grave.
00:44:25Her body is an actual grave.
00:44:26Stop.
00:44:27Come on.
00:44:28I am getting you out of here.
00:44:29She is a grave.
00:44:33I am getting you out of here.
00:44:34She is a grave.
00:44:36And here, put the bag like this.
00:44:41You see, Sam, you don't have to change hers.
00:44:42You see? Beautiful.
00:44:49Now come on, get on.
00:44:52Are you crazy? I can't go anywhere with you.
00:44:54Oh, yes you can.
00:44:56I broke into your house, and now I'm kidnapping you.
00:45:12We are in school, but we can't go to school.
00:45:31We have to go to work.
00:45:32We can.
00:45:35Just today. Wait.
00:45:37What is that?
00:45:49There. Now you are just like an American student.
00:45:53Only, you are the most beautiful.
00:46:00Come on.
00:46:00Come on, Layla. Come on.
00:46:11So natural selection is the ability to adapt to an environment in order to survive.
00:46:17In other terms, the strongest live, the weakest die.
00:46:21The strongest eat, the weakest.
00:46:23Now can you think of any example of natural selection?
00:46:25Yes?
00:46:29We are new students.
00:46:31Oh, welcome to biology class.
00:46:33I'm Mr. Norman.
00:46:34Do you have your class schedules?
00:46:41Are you ELL?
00:46:45English language learners.
00:46:47No, we speak English.
00:46:49All right.
00:46:49Just print your names on these cards.
00:46:51We'll get a biology textbook from that shelf there, and you can sit in those two empty seats over there.
00:46:57So like I said, the strongest lives, the weakest dies.
00:47:01The strongest eats the weakest.
00:47:05The strongest live, the weakest die.
00:47:08The strongest eat the weakest.
00:47:10Now can you think of any example of natural selection?
00:47:12And she was like, we're tight, right?
00:47:17So I'm all, whatever.
00:47:18You know, I'm like chill out, and she's all in my face.
00:47:21Like, WTF.
00:47:23Word up.
00:47:24Hey, you guys looking sick today.
00:47:26I got a B on my geometry test.
00:47:28I'm snapped.
00:47:30So I'm like, hey, get over it.
00:47:33That's just how I roll.
00:47:36What language are they speaking?
00:47:40That is English.
00:47:41That's English?
00:47:53Me either.
00:47:53I've never seen that before.
00:47:55Me either.
00:47:55It was crazy.
00:47:56It was really crazy.
00:47:57Did you see the little thing?
00:47:58Yeah, I saw there was green or something in there.
00:48:03I mean, I cannot believe this.
00:48:05Oh, and you brought the gardener with you to mow the lawn.
00:48:08How nice.
00:48:09We, um, are visiting school for the day.
00:48:13I finished all my housework.
00:48:17Does my mother know that you're out of the house?
00:48:20No?
00:48:23And you're not going to tell her?
00:48:26Oh, really?
00:48:29Well, see, I would call her right now and tell her.
00:48:32But I want to be home to see what she does to you.
00:48:37If you tell your mother about this, I would tell her about all the times you have snuck out of the house with your American boyfriend.
00:48:43You're not.
00:48:53I thought so good.
00:48:54No.
00:48:55I don't think so.
00:48:56This is where I live.
00:48:59But I don't see any houses in there.
00:49:04Because we don't live in the house. Me and my puppy live in a shack that is hidden.
00:49:11You're American, aren't you?
00:49:14Where are you hiding from?
00:49:18We are illegal too.
00:49:20We are hiding from La Migra.
00:49:23If they find us, they will send us back to Mexico.
00:49:29If you got sent back to Mexico, I would be lost.
00:49:42Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere.
00:49:51That is not happening. Don't worry.
00:49:59Me and my puppy, we're pretty good.
00:50:03We've been dead back, luckily.
00:50:14Fine.
00:50:19That was the best day of my life, Emilio. Thank you.
00:50:53I know what you've been doing.
00:50:59You've been reading that Mexican boy a secret.
00:51:03No.
00:51:07No.
00:51:09Please.
00:51:11No.
00:51:12Please.
00:51:14No.
00:51:15No.
00:51:17No.
00:51:22Please.
00:51:27No.
00:51:29No.
00:51:30No.
00:51:31No.
00:51:33No.
00:51:34No.
00:51:35No.
00:51:36No.
00:51:37No.
00:51:38No.
00:51:39No.
00:51:40No.
00:51:41No.
00:51:42No.
00:51:43No.
00:51:44No.
00:51:45No.
00:51:46No.
00:51:47No.
00:51:48No.
00:51:49No.
00:51:50No.
00:51:51No.
00:51:52No.
00:51:53No.
00:51:54No.
00:51:55No.
00:51:56No.
00:51:57No.
00:51:58No.
00:51:59No.
00:52:00No.
00:52:01No.
00:52:02No.
00:52:03No.
00:52:04No.
00:52:05Hush.
00:52:22Yes.
00:52:28I would like to call my family, please.
00:52:30Come here.
00:52:36Closer.
00:52:43What happened to you?
00:52:48I fell down the stairs.
00:52:50It was dark.
00:53:00Your family have no phone.
00:53:13Leila.
00:53:16Tomorrow I'll call somebody from the village and they'll let your mother or father know to call me.
00:53:21Collect.
00:53:23Okay?
00:53:24It's too late now.
00:53:26Go to sleep.
00:53:30Go to sleep.
00:54:01Leila.
00:54:03This is for you.
00:54:14Hello?
00:54:16Papa?
00:54:19No, Papa, please.
00:54:22No, Papa, please.
00:54:23Please.
00:54:24So you're telling me you know of a girl who was brought into this country illegally for domestic servitude?
00:54:54By whom?
00:54:57Officer Sanderson, I have a question first.
00:55:01What will happen to this person?
00:55:04The one who brought her into this country?
00:55:06Human trafficking is a felony with severe penalties.
00:55:11If convicted, we're talking about fines and imprisonment.
00:55:17Is the penalty for transporting the girl more harsh than employing her?
00:55:23Providing that the employment is not forced, yes.
00:55:28The trafficking is far more serious.
00:55:30What will happen if they bring her back to her family and her country?
00:55:42Uh, there is no crime then, right?
00:55:47I would advise them to let the government handle it.
00:55:51And to hire a good attorney.
00:55:53Milio, go away.
00:56:23My God.
00:56:26What happened to you?
00:56:30What happened to you?
00:56:32It's nothing, Milio, okay?
00:56:35I fell down the stairs.
00:56:36Who did this to you?
00:56:40Nobody.
00:56:41Did it to myself.
00:56:45Maybe I should ask around then, eh?
00:56:48Was it the father or the brother?
00:56:52Who should I start with?
00:56:54No one.
00:56:55Don't say a word to anyone.
00:56:57They will only deny it and then you'll lose your job.
00:57:01I don't care.
00:57:03It will be worth it.
00:57:06Don't, Emilio.
00:57:08They know you're illegal.
00:57:12They'll turn you into their, what are they called?
00:57:15La migra?
00:57:16I can't let them do this to you.
00:57:26You can stay with me and my puppy.
00:57:29You don't have to come back here.
00:57:30In what, Emilio?
00:57:34A canyon?
00:57:38At least here, I have a roof over my head.
00:57:46Just go away.
00:57:48I don't want to see you anymore.
00:57:50It was the father, wasn't it?
00:57:52It was the good father.
00:57:52It was the father, Elsie.
00:57:54No.
00:57:55Stop him.
00:57:58It was the brother.
00:58:01Stop.
00:58:22Detector again, I'll kill you.
00:58:25Mr. Sahal, who transported Layla to the United States with a forged passport?
00:58:32It wasn't forged.
00:58:34It was my daughter, Mariam's passport.
00:58:37Let me rephrase that.
00:58:40Who transported Layla to the United States with a fraudulent passport?
00:58:45I know this is difficult for you, Mr. Sahal.
00:59:00Yes, it is.
00:59:00It was my wife, Suzanne, who brought this girl to this country.
00:59:19And she was transported to the United States for the purpose of domestic labor in your home?
00:59:28Yes.
00:59:29And she was, at times, held, locked, against her will.
00:59:43Yes.
00:59:45I'm sorry, Mr. Sahal.
00:59:46You're going to have to speak a little more loudly.
00:59:49Yes.
00:59:57Thank you, Mr. Sahal.
00:59:59No further questions, Your Honor.
01:00:07Adam, what happened to your lab?
01:00:10It was an accident.
01:00:11Why didn't you tell us anything about this?
01:00:14Did you report it to school?
01:00:16He does not need to report everything to the school.
01:00:19He's not a baby.
01:00:21You look like a hideous monster.
01:00:23Hey, hey, don't take this out on your sister.
01:00:27You're a man now.
01:00:28You can't figure what to do.
01:00:31Everyone knows where the Mexican camp is.
01:00:34It's where you go to smoke pot.
01:00:35And when he's gone, I will do whatever I want with her.
01:00:41What are you doing?
01:01:03Huh?
01:01:03I'm getting out of here.

01:03:22No, I have nothing. I'm with him
01:03:25Okay
01:03:28Call the task force you got it. You're taking her come on, buddy. No
01:03:35We're taking him to the border what we have some people I need to speak to
01:03:39No, don't worry
01:03:43That I'm living through one and hoping if I was meant for you
01:03:52Give or take one or two maybe three days
01:03:58And I'll admit I was waiting for you
01:04:02for a year
01:04:06Mr. Mrs. Ibrahim, thank you so much for seeing me
01:04:09I want to ask you to reconsider
01:04:12Your position that you had earlier. Although we can prosecute this house without your testimony
01:04:16It will be very difficult to convict them
01:04:19With all due respect to your parents, Leila
01:04:22You're 18 now. Therefore, it is your call to make
01:04:31All rise
01:04:33Court is now back in session
01:04:39So, uh, do you have any other witnesses of this time?
01:04:49Um, uh, yes, your honor. I'd like to call Suzanne Sahal to the stand
01:05:09Mr. Sahal, you understand that you're still under oath?
01:05:18Yes
01:05:19I have one final question
01:05:21Looking back
01:05:23Do you have any feelings of remorse for the unconscionable acts that you committed against a defenseless child?
01:05:30Being orphaned at the age of eight in a slum is unconscionable
01:05:35Being orphaned at the age of eight in a slum is unconscionable
01:05:39Begging and stealing to feed yourself and your younger sister
01:05:42And watching her die from malnourishment
01:05:46That's unconscionable
01:05:48Then to consider yourself as one of the lucky ones
01:05:52If you're taken in by a wealthy family, that is unconscionable
01:05:57When the family makes you to sleep in a stall with animals
01:06:01Beats you for any smallest infractions
01:06:05Then forces you to witness someone else's infant child
01:06:09When you're just a kid yourself
01:06:11If you can even imagine
01:06:14To be raped by different brothers of this family every night
01:06:20You always want to slash your wrists
01:06:23But you fear offending God
01:06:26And the only thing
01:06:27The only one who saves you from this hell on earth
01:06:31Is the youngest son of this rich family
01:06:34Who sees past through dirt and misery
01:06:37Who sees you
01:06:39Who offers you kindness
01:06:44And even love
01:06:47You persecute me
01:06:52You even dare persecute the man
01:06:55Who sacrificed everything
01:06:57His family
01:07:02His birthright
01:07:04His country
01:07:06All to give me a new life
01:07:12You judge me
01:07:14But judging him
01:07:15That's unconscionable
01:07:24No further questions, Your Honor
01:07:25Compelling
01:07:37Even for only half of it is true
01:07:48Your Honor
01:07:49I'd like to call Leila Abraham to the stand, please
01:07:55Please state your name.
01:08:14Leila.
01:08:25I experienced the pain that happened to me, the pain of my own business, but never the ultimate
01:08:43pain of betrayal, nothing was happened to me.
01:08:49There were times when I had to close my eyes and forget about everything, but there were
01:09:04also times when I wanted to scream at the top of my eyes just so some people can know
01:09:15that I had to close my eyes.
01:09:29Back in 20 minutes.
01:09:33All rise.
01:09:34Court is now in session.
01:09:45Mr. or Mrs. Saal, you know, I find it difficult to express my total disgust, I feel, for the
01:09:58inhumanity that you committed upon this young innocent child by enslaving her within the walls
01:10:07of your home.
01:10:11You robbed her of a precious, irreplaceable childhood.
01:10:18You denied her an education, medical care.
01:10:23And the one thing which I really abhor, you have really stopped her in her tracks from having
01:10:31a family and their love.
01:10:35We all need a family's love.
01:10:39She somehow, I'll never know how, but she has flourished.
01:10:43She's become a very vibrant and intelligent young woman.
01:10:47And believe it, you can take it from me, she will be a great asset to our society.
01:10:53And as for you, you claim to know the pain of inhumanity, but I'm sorry.
01:11:00I have no sympathy for you at all.
01:11:03So, Mrs. Suzanne Saal, I hereby sentence you to five years imprisonment to be interned
01:11:13at the Central California Women's Facility, and at this time I hand you over to the Department
01:11:18of Corrections.
01:11:21Bailiff?
01:11:24Now, Mr. Saal, as you obviously have no connection at all with bringing this fine young lady over
01:11:32to this country, and you have cooperated with the authorities, I am going to adhere to the
01:11:40agreement that you had with the prosecutor's office in a side letter.
01:11:45So I am censusing you to six months probation, a hundred hours of community service, and
01:11:51a fine of $10,000.
01:11:55Oh, and in anticipation of any civil action, I have also written a brief recommending that
01:12:03the victim be paid for her servitude in your house.
01:12:09Um, I say maybe just a minimum wage with accrued interest, and in my calculation that comes
01:12:19out to $152,000.
01:12:30The court is adjourned.
01:12:37We're very happy to have this victory today, I'm sure Layla will answer some questions.
01:12:41Congratulations, Miss Ibrahim.
01:12:43Can you tell us about your hopes for your future?
01:12:46Um, I would like to go to medical school.
01:12:48That is, if I'm accepted.
01:12:49I'll be impressed.
01:12:50Let's go.
01:12:51Maybe.
01:12:52Okay.
01:12:53Let's make it sound like this.
01:12:54I don't know.
01:12:56Well, I don't know.
01:12:57Oh, thank you.
01:12:58I'll be happy to have this victory today.
