Uma equipe extraordinária de agentes infiltrados ao redor do mundo encara o quase impossível: penetrar os cantos mais sombrios da internet para resgatar crianças e levar esperança onde ela parecia inexistente.
Operando além de fronteiras, culturas e divisões políticas, essa rede internacional atua em uma colaboração rara entre países como Brasil, Portugal, Rússia e Estados Unidos.
O documentário mostra como esses criminosos atuam em plataformas digitais projetadas para não deixar rastros — e como os investigadores encontram a resiliência e determinação exigidas para enfrentar esse universo.
O jornalista João Fellet, da BBC News Brasil, trabalhou junto à equipe global da BBC Eye, que teve acesso exclusivo às investigações por mais de sete anos, acompanhando de perto até onde as autoridades são capazes de ir para identificar culpados e proteger vítimas.

00:03:14Em 2012, pedófilos já estavam se reunindo na Dark Web, criando sites secretos voltados ao abuso de crianças.

00:05:20efetivamente as fotos de abuso em busca de alguma pista.
00:06:13A equipe recebeu uma lista com cerca de 40 mil pessoas que haviam comprado aquele imóvel.
00:06:20Elas moravam em 29 estados diferentes.
00:06:24Para encontrar o comprador, a equipe precisaria analisar dezenas de milhares de endereços.
00:06:52Os vítimas que nunca nos identificaram.
00:06:58Mas você não pode deixar de dar.
00:07:00Se nós não vamos fazer isso, quem vai fazer isso?
00:07:04Depois, você vai ter algo que vai chegar lá.
00:07:17Eu me lembro clear as day.
00:07:19Eu estava falando sobre, você sabe, ele tem muito cuidado e ele está tomando coisas da foto que, você sabe,
00:07:28ele tem que identificar a mulher e a locatória e tudo mais.
00:07:31Mas a pergunta naquela época era, como, o que não pode mudar?
00:07:40Clothing pode mudar, bedding pode mudar, todas essas coisas podem mudar.
00:07:44Mas é algo que não pode mudar?
00:07:47E aí é como nós começamos a olhar para o BRICS.
00:07:53How often do you see an exposed brick wall inside of a child's bedroom?
00:08:00So I started just Googling BRICS, and it wasn't too many searches that I found the BRIC Industry Association.
00:08:08So I called, I just, there was a number on there in Virginia, and I said, hey, you know, my
00:08:13name's Greg Squire, I work for the Homeland Security, and, you know, we're working a case of a missing girl.
00:08:18And the woman on the phone was awesome, she was like, how can the BRIC industry help?
00:08:25I said, well, I have a picture, I want to know if somebody can tell me something about these BRICs.
00:08:31She said, we have BRIC experts all over the country, we can share it with our distribution list.
00:08:37And we're wrapping things up for the day, and I don't think I was even at the car before I
00:08:42started getting emails.
00:08:44And I think we all kind of felt like that rush of adrenaline was that, all of a sudden, maybe
00:08:51something could come of this.
00:09:01John Harp trabalha como vendedor de tijolos desde 1981.
00:09:07Ele calcula já ter comercializado mais de 300 modelos de tijolos com cores e formatos distintos.
00:09:16That day, I was sitting at my desk, doing my normal, probably, paperwork or report or something for corporate.
00:09:24And it popped up in my inbox, and I read the email, and I knew exactly what the BRIC was.
00:09:30I noticed that the BRIC was a very pink cast brick, and it had a little bit of a charcoal
00:09:35overlay on it.
00:09:36It was a modular 8-inch brick, and it was square-edged.
00:09:39Immediately made the BRIC pop out to me that it was a flaming Alamo.
00:09:45We made that BRIC from the late 60s through about the middle part of the 80s.
00:09:51And I had sold millions of BRIC from that plant.
00:09:54So I emailed Agent Squire.
00:09:58I'm thinking, this is great.
00:10:00And so in my mind, I'm going, well, you know, would you have sales records of something like that?
00:10:07He's like, we've been selling this BRIC since the 70s.
00:10:11And it's all just a pile of notes and stuff like that.
00:10:14And I was like, .
00:10:16And it kind of took the steam out of me a little bit.
00:10:19And he says, I think he called me son.
00:10:22He says, hey, you know what BRICs are?
00:10:26And I'm like, you got me, sir, I don't know.
00:10:30He goes, BRICs are heavy.
00:10:35What I explained to Greg was that BRIC are heavy.
00:10:38And we can only haul about 10,000 to a truck.
00:10:41So we're not transporting BRICs typically all the way across the country.
00:10:46So don't be looking way, way out.
00:10:48You need to be looking within this smaller area.
00:10:53He says, that BRIC didn't travel 50 miles out of this plant.
00:10:59What a, like, I was so excited at that point.
00:11:04They were looking in 29 different states and it was a needle and a haystack.
00:11:08It narrowed it down to possibly one state, one city.
00:11:13We have an extremely small area to look in now.
00:11:17A equipe conseguiu uma relação dos compradores do tijolo
00:11:20e passou a examinar aqueles que moravam nas proximidades da fábrica.
00:11:27Se antes os policiais tinham uma lista com mais de 10 mil clientes,
00:11:31agora a busca se concentrava em menos de 50 pessoas.
00:11:37Eles vasculhavam as redes sociais desses compradores em busca de alguma foto de Lucy.
00:11:45And probably by 9am, we were flipping through social media pages
00:11:50and there was Lucy right in front of us.
00:11:55Couldn't believe it.
00:11:58Nine months of looking and we're sitting there staring at her
00:12:01and we all looked and said, 100% this is her.
00:12:07100%.
00:12:09We literally started with a picture that could have started anywhere in the world
00:12:14and then we narrowed it down to one house.
00:12:17That was a good feeling.
00:12:20They had also figured out that living in the house was the mother's boyfriend
00:12:25and that that was a convicted sex offender living there.
00:12:30I mean, at that point it's 10 or 11am
00:12:34and our first thought was,
00:12:37how do we get there before she's home from school
00:12:41and eliminate the chance of him having access to her even one more time?
00:12:48And by 4 o'clock, our whole team was in that house,
00:12:53safeguarded Lucy,
00:12:56head start the interview process
00:12:57and by 5 o'clock,
00:13:01the suspect was in custody.
00:13:05I got an email saying we found her.
00:13:08This little girl now is safe and out of harm's way.
00:13:13My wife and I have been foster parents for over 20 years.
00:13:16We've had over 150 different children in our home.
00:13:19We've adopted three.
00:13:21So, doing that over those years,
00:13:24we have a lot of children in our home that were abused,
00:13:28that were neglected, both physical and sexual abused.
00:13:32And it leaves a mark on you.
00:13:35It leaves a mark on your psyche that stays with you.
00:13:42What they do day in and day out and what they see
00:13:46is a magnification of hundreds of times of what I've seen or had to deal with.
00:13:54So, I can't imagine what they have to take home with them at night.
00:14:20After the case of Lucy, Greg and her team will pass on to the dark web.
00:14:28The number of users on the platform grew rapidly.
00:14:33It was a growing increase
00:14:35by a greater offer of sites
00:14:37related to abuse of children.
00:14:41That was our first glimpse of them creating forum-based websites.
00:14:46Those sites just look like a regular forum of people who all had a shared interest.
00:14:52People can belong to woodworking forums and gun forums and car forums.
00:14:58The structure is exactly the same, but for the content.
00:15:03They trade child abuse material all through the day and all through the night.
00:15:10Each site kind of has their own niche.
00:15:13So, this might be only boys.
00:15:15This might be only girls or only hardcore.
00:15:20You build a community around it and you quickly find out
00:15:23that there aren't just ones and twos of guys interested in this,
00:15:27but there's thousands.
00:15:29And it just becomes a breeding ground for who can be the more shocking person.
00:15:37Who can take things to the next level.
00:15:40We saw the abuse of children getting younger and getting more violent.
00:15:47Probably it was out there, you know, ten years ago.
00:15:50But now we saw it all in one place.
00:15:53And with this anonymous network, they were hiding nothing.
00:15:59They felt free to say whatever they wanted.
00:16:02And that's frightening.
00:16:13We needed to be in there.
00:16:15We needed to try to find out how we could infiltrate these networks,
00:16:19how we could disrupt them.
00:16:22What could be done to take on a group of a hundred thousand guys
00:16:28with the resources we had, which, you know, to this day remain very small.
00:16:35This was really the beginning of having dedicated online undercover officers
00:16:43that would function full-time being part of these communities.
00:16:50A lot of undercover work, which Greg took the lion's share of,
00:16:55being able to be accepted by such a group is a pretty heavy task.
00:17:01It's like going undercover with the mob or something.
00:17:06Face-to-face undercover, there's a lot written about that.
00:17:11People going into gangs and going into doing these really deep undercover roles.
00:17:17But this was brand new.
00:17:19You know, we were entering and working in a borderless environment.
00:17:25that was operating 24 hours a day.
00:17:31We realized the need for some help.
00:17:39In 2014, a group of police officers from diversos countries
00:17:43uned forces.
00:17:45Agents began to infiltrate them
00:17:48in reds of pedophiles on the dark web.
00:18:11When I started to investigate these types of crimes,
00:18:15the change was because of the shock.
00:18:16of being confronted with the atrocities that are made to children, to babies.
00:18:23Who doesn't cry, when is confronted with some of these situations,
00:18:30can't be sure to do a good job.
00:18:37I'm a police officer for 23 years.
00:18:41What is certain is that when we work in this area,
00:18:45it changes a lot of things inside us.
00:18:48Definitely.
00:18:50We are aware of how a human being is a bad guy.
00:18:54Or how it can be a bad guy.
00:18:58The Portuguese police officers joined the Global Coalition
00:19:01to investigate abusers of children on the dark web.
00:19:05It's something that doesn't have borders.
00:19:07It's worldwide.
00:19:09In all countries, there are people who do this,
00:19:13who share it,
00:19:15and, therefore, the only way to work this
00:19:19has to be collaboration.
00:19:21Globally, we were all trying to find our way.
00:19:24trying to find a strategy so that we were focusing on the most violent offenders,
00:19:30the most dangerous offenders.
00:19:34In 2015, a dark web site opened up called Baby Heart.
00:19:42O Baby Heart era um dos fóruns mais perturbadores da dark web.
00:19:48A plataforma era dedicada ao abuso sexual de bebês.
00:20:07A busca por Twinkle
00:20:09virou uma prioridade para os policiais.
00:20:19A busca por Twinkle virou uma prioridade para os policiais.
00:20:2215 children, at that point,
00:20:24that we could attribute to this one guy.
00:20:28And to watch somebody
00:20:31abuse, rape,
00:20:34a baby,
00:20:37there's nothing human about it.
00:20:38that we could do it.
00:20:39In any way,
00:20:41having passwords,
00:20:42it's always easier.
00:20:43That became an instant focus
00:20:45for our online undercover work.
00:20:48And at that moment,
00:20:51we received information
00:20:52with the collaboration
00:20:53of Interpol,
00:20:55of Europol,
00:20:56of some authorities in the United States,
00:20:58Australia,
00:20:59Brazil.
00:21:01The Baby Heart went from a couple thousand
00:21:03to a hundred thousand members.
00:21:06But trying to work on the identification of Twinkle
00:21:09was difficult.
00:21:10The paranoia in this community is ever present.
00:21:15There really is no letting your guard down.
00:21:20Twinkle had to be careful
00:21:21of not letting the identity
00:21:23on the dark web.
00:21:28He wrote in different languages,
00:21:30like French,
00:21:31English, Spanish
00:21:32and Portuguese.
00:21:36Until, in a conversation
00:21:37in English with another user,
00:21:39Twinkle used a typical language
00:21:41of the Portuguese language.
00:21:43It took the eyes of my face.
00:21:47Foi a primeira pista
00:21:48sobre a nacionalidade do criminoso.
00:22:08Na prisão realizada no Brasil,
00:22:11a polícia encontra uma prova crucial.
00:22:13na prisão.
00:22:14What they found was
00:22:16a link
00:22:17to a Facebook page
00:22:19in Portugal.
00:22:21That is what, in fact,
00:22:22broke open the case.
00:22:28Some of the pictures that we had
00:22:29of Twinkle abusing the children,
00:22:31we could see his hand.
00:22:33And his hand
00:22:34had a skin condition.
00:22:36and once we started that deep dive
00:22:39on that page,
00:22:41we saw a few pictures
00:22:43of that individual's hand.
00:22:46When the thing changed
00:22:47and saw that he was Portuguese,
00:22:49the world fell a little
00:22:50above us.
00:22:51Above all, I think
00:22:53what made this investigation
00:22:54more stressful
00:22:56was to know
00:22:57that every day
00:22:58that was passed,
00:22:59every time
00:23:00that was passed,
00:23:01we knew
00:23:02that those children
00:23:04continued to be
00:23:05victims of abuse.
00:23:08We felt comfortable enough
00:23:10to get a team together
00:23:12to head down to Portugal.
00:23:14Greg viaja a Portugal
00:23:16pra ajudar a polícia
00:23:17a encontrar
00:23:18e capturar
00:23:19Twinkle.
00:23:34A gente saiu de Lisboa
00:23:35e está indo agora
00:23:36pro norte de Portugal
00:23:37pra um vilarejo
00:23:38numa zona rural
00:23:40onde Twinkle
00:23:42criou um dos sites
00:23:44mais violentos
00:23:46de abuso sexual
00:23:47de crianças.
00:23:50Após meses de investigações,
00:23:52é hora de agir.
00:23:54Às seis horas da manhã,
00:23:56a equipe de policiais
00:23:57parte rumo
00:23:58à casa de Twinkle.
00:23:59Uma das prioridades
00:24:00dos agentes
00:24:01é encontrar
00:24:02os arquivos
00:24:03onde ele armazena
00:24:04seus vídeos,
00:24:04material que pode ajudar
00:24:06a identificar
00:24:06outros criminosos.
00:24:25os agentes
00:24:26param diante da casa.
00:24:28Ao arrombar a porta,
00:24:30encontram Twinkle
00:24:31dentro de um quarto.
00:24:32Ele está deitado na cama.
00:24:35Ao lado dele, duas crianças.
00:24:39de um quarto.
00:24:41Ele está deitado na cama.
00:24:44Ele está deitado na cama.
00:24:58Ele está deitado na cama.
00:25:06devem entender
00:25:06o material
00:25:07no quarto.
00:25:07Eu e o outro.
00:25:07He está deitado na cama.
00:25:08Ele está deitado na cama.
00:25:09Ele está deitado na cama.
00:25:11Mas a equipe de Forensica
00:25:13havia isolado
00:25:14um computador de Оrgede.
00:25:16ele estava deitado na cama.
00:25:17Ele estava deitado na cama.
00:25:18O problema foi
00:25:19que a máquina rouba fora.
00:25:25Ricardo pergunta a Twinkle onde estão os arquivos em que ele armazenava seus vídeos
00:25:32Twinkle então pede aos policiais que o acompanhem
00:25:47Os agentes entram na floresta com cautela
00:25:50Estão preocupados com a possibilidade de que algum comparsa esteja escondido por ali
00:25:59Ou de que o próprio Twinkle tente fugir
00:26:20Twinkle conduz a equipe até um arbusto e aponta para o chão
00:26:35Twinkle tira um saco plástico de dentro de um buraco
00:26:45Na sacola estão os arquivos dele
00:27:00O sentimento de ter chegado, ter à pessoa certa, ter conseguido encontrar tudo o que necessitaram-nos para a investigação
00:27:08Ter encontrado duas crianças na cama com eles foi um dia que nos sentimos muito bem ao final do dia
00:27:18As the search continued and the questions were being asked of Twinkle
00:27:24We went out to look at his car
00:27:26And when we opened the trunk of the car
00:27:28It looked like Twinkle was leaving for the weekend
00:27:31There was some kids toys, like some pool toys in the car
00:27:37Cameras, there was handcuffs, sex toys
00:27:40And what he ended up admitting was that he had a weekend planned
00:27:45And that he was leaving that morning
00:27:50To go meet another offender
00:27:54And that they had organized this weekend
00:27:56To bring each other's children to this Airbnb
00:28:02To have a weekend of abusing all the kids together
00:28:08Um, no, this was completely, completely new to me
00:28:15And everybody that was there, you know
00:28:17There weren't, there was a pretty experienced group there
00:28:20And this was certainly the first time for all of us to go
00:28:25You know
00:28:27They had a planned weekend to, you know, sexually abuse babies, you know
00:28:36So the team sort of got a plan together
00:28:39I think it was about an hour away
00:28:42The guy showed up pretty much on time
00:28:46The primary police officers went and removed him from the vehicle
00:28:50And when they looked in the back
00:28:53His two kids were in the back
00:28:55He decided to start confessing shortly thereafter
00:29:01Told us he was the one that they call the forgotten
00:29:23And it's impossible I don't think that humanity
00:29:26He traveled to a good place
00:29:33Because every day I'm surprised with worse things
00:29:36B worse than that I saw five years ago
00:29:39B worse than that I saw 10 years ago
00:29:43And when we think that there is no limit
00:29:47That limit is again surpassed
00:29:50ultrapassado.
00:30:21Falei em muito a liberdade do meu filho e de alguns filhos de amigos meus, sim.
00:30:29Mas eu não tenho a culpa, não consigo despir daquilo que é o meu dia-a-dia.
00:30:37Olho para isso, sinto aquela revolta e penso, eu não quero que isto aconteça.
00:30:46Se for um dia muito, muito complicado, então eu prefiro sair.
00:30:55Não fico em casa porque não quero associar um mau pensamento no momento em que me estou a tentar desligar
00:31:03das coisas.
00:31:05Vou espalhando aquela má energia, aquele mau pensamento.
00:31:11Acho que ao longo do tempo fui conseguindo fazer o mesmo que muitos outros.
00:31:16Arranjar forças e esconder isto numa gaveta.
00:31:22Faz parte do trabalho suportar muitas das vezes essa dor internamente.
00:31:42Desculpa.
00:31:51Desculpa.
00:31:54Ok.
00:32:04Depois da prisão de Twinkle, os policiais imaginaram que conseguiriam tirar do ar o Baby Heart,
00:32:09o site administrado pelo criminoso português.
00:32:35O apelido Lubaza já circulava entre investigadores fazia algum tempo.
00:32:41Ele era conhecido por administrar até seis sites de abuso sexual de crianças,
00:32:46com centenas de milhares de usuários na Dark Web.
00:32:50Os policiais passaram a investigá-lo e estavam perto de descobrir sua identidade.
00:33:00O parque veio de outra agência.
00:33:04E eles vinham para o grupo de trabalho e disseram
00:33:06''Ei, escuta, nós pensamos que sabemos quem ele é.
00:33:14Nós acabamos indo para o Brasil.
00:33:28A gente chegou a esse nome. Chegou a Lubaza.
00:33:34Um indivíduo que falava muito pouco nos fóruns,
00:33:37mas que a gente percebia que tinha uma capacidade técnica apurada.
00:33:41Ele criava estrutura para que dois milhões de usuários estivessem ativos em cinco fóruns da Deep Web.
00:33:52Então, na nossa cabeça, ele era responsável por todos os crimes que aconteciam dentro desses locais.
00:34:03A gente já estava alguns meses nessa investigação, realizando inúmeras diligências.
00:34:11Ele deixou de ser um nome e passou a ser uma pessoa.
00:34:15Nós não revelaremos o nome real dele, porque isso poderia expor algumas de suas vítimas.
00:34:22A Lubaza é um outro nível.
00:34:24Se nós chegarmos para ele,
00:34:26nós teríamos acesso a tudo o que está acontecendo para ele, como um overlord.
00:34:32Ele nos dá, para a primeira vez, uma olhada de cima.
00:34:46A gente vai aqui, né, Cato?
00:34:49A gente vai aqui, né?
00:34:50Cato aí.
00:34:51Cato aí, tu tá demorando demais.
00:34:54Isso aqui tá demorando agora agora, vai.
00:34:55Se explica, é pergunte aí agora.
00:34:57Agora a vontade de...
00:34:59Você entendeu agora?
00:35:01Ele sabe bem o que tem ali, sabe bem os tribos penais ali tudo.
00:35:07Ele ficou surpreso, né? Apático, calado, como se aquilo fosse uma coisa inacreditável.
00:35:18A gente percebia que ele acreditava que era inatingível.
00:35:22Você pode dizer quais são os sets que tem ali?
00:35:26Diz a relação de sets que você domina.
00:35:29Estou perguntando por curiosidade, porque eu conheço uns oito, mas deve ter mais.
00:35:34Pode dizer aí?
00:35:37O Lubaza tinha 23 anos.
00:35:41O que nos surpreendeu, além da idade, foi essa capacidade que ele tinha de não se expor.
00:35:49Falava muito pouco, muito assertivo.
00:35:53Então parecia uma pessoa muito madura.
00:35:56A gente não veio aqui a...
00:35:58A gente não veio aqui pra brincar, ficar tirando...
00:36:00Eles cresceram com um telefone, eles cresceram com um laptop, eles cresceram com um computador.
00:36:06Mais frequentemente, trabalhando no campo da IT,
00:36:09um desenvolvedor de web, um engenheiro de software.
00:36:12Eu quero dizer, é uma habilidade que nunca vimos, até 10 anos atrás.
00:36:19Eles passaram 40, 50, 60 horas online.
00:36:23Isso foi a vida para esse cara.
00:36:25Tudo isso aqui são sacos com lixo.
00:36:31E o nível da cozinha está muito pior.
00:36:37É difícil descrever.
00:36:39Você tem que chegar aqui pra ver e cheirar.
00:36:43Um apartamento pequeno, escuro, insalubre, sujo mesmo.
00:36:48Isso é quase que um padrão nesses casos.
00:36:53O lugar em que a pessoa vive quase que reflete o que se passa internamente.
00:36:58Ele não tem cama, uma casa notada.
00:37:02E ainda, aqui está essa máquina de milhares de milhares
00:37:05que estávamos o abuso de 10 mil ou mais, sabe, vítimas de filhos.
00:37:22Teve alguns casos que me marcaram e que o pior foi que não havia imagens.
00:37:29Uma pessoa estava planejando abusar do filho que ainda não tinha nascido.
00:37:35E isso é inimaginável, né?
00:37:37Pensar que um bebezinho vai vir ao mundo pra sofrer, pra ser abusado ainda e ter a idade.
00:37:52A gente chega a ter consequências físicas mesmo, sabe?
00:37:57É enjoo, dor de estômago, dor de cabeça.
00:38:00Então, chega a momentos que você não consegue nem olhar.
00:38:06E isso traz inúmeras consequências, né?
00:38:09Em mim, me trouxe uma desconfiança, né, generalizada.
00:38:16E uma outra coisa que me trouxe é essa necessidade de trabalhar o tempo inteiro.
00:38:22Eu não consigo parar.
00:38:24Porque na minha concepção, quanto mais eu demoro pra resolver um caso,
00:38:29mais uma criança tá sofrendo.
00:38:38O confisco dos servidores de Lubaza foi a maior apreensão de arquivos da Dark Web da história.
00:38:48As informações tinham o potencial de desmascarar centenas de milhares de pedófilos mundo afora.
00:39:05Muitos de milhares foram sentados para procurar e arrestos
00:39:10dos indivíduos que tinham sido parte de Lubaza's network.
00:39:14Polícia, por favor! Come to the door!
00:39:17Os indivíduos estão no site, vendo child abuse material.
00:39:24E a gente sabia que aquela prisão seria o início de outras coisas.
00:39:30E uma sensação de que o trabalho não acabou.
00:39:34Ele tá recomeçando a partir dali.
00:39:38E mesmo que aquela pessoa não tenha tido suas mãos em crianças,
00:39:43eles são a razão por que os sites existem.
00:39:46Eles causam a demanda.
00:39:47Eles encorajaram os que têm acesso.
00:39:51Eles são as grande a parte do problema
00:39:54de que os outros cometem com os seus filhos.
00:39:59Os indivíduos sabem tudo sobre a segurança.
00:40:03Eles são técnico-savvy.
00:40:06E eles vão sempre fazer mudanças para tentar impedir a lei.
00:40:11Mas, thanks ao nosso online undercover work,
00:40:15nós estávamos fazendo coisas que, anos antes,
00:40:18você não teria pensado que fosse possível.
00:40:20Fazer arrestos e, você sabe,
00:40:22só fazer uma grande diferença.
00:40:24Você sabe, é um grande rush que...
00:40:27é difícil de se encaixar.
00:40:36At that point, my kids were a bit older and, you know, very independent, very successful
00:40:41young people, and, you know, that almost enables you to push harder.
00:40:46Like, I work 10 hours today.
00:40:48I bet I can work 12.
00:40:51I bet if I get up at 3 this morning, I can surprise somebody online and I can get something
00:40:57else done.
00:40:58You just push yourself and push yourself and push yourself, and you're rewarded, because
00:41:03that works.
00:41:05It is effective.
00:41:12But meanwhile, personally, you know, you're kind of losing...
00:41:19Who was I?
00:41:22Who's Greg?
00:41:23I don't even know what he likes to do.
00:41:31All of your friends all during the day, they're criminals.
00:41:36You know?
00:41:36They're pedophiles.
00:41:37All they do is talk about the most horrific things all day long.
00:41:42And, um, when that's over, close the laptop, and you look around...
00:41:50And it's just you.
00:41:58It was easy at the time, you know, to pick up the glass or a wall or whatever it was.
00:42:05And you don't think about you when you're having some drinks, you know?
00:42:09It's easy just to go, all right, the sooner tomorrow starts, the better off I am.
00:42:16Because tomorrow I get back to work.
00:42:19You know, I definitely had a time when alcohol was a bigger part of my life than it should have
00:42:27been.
00:42:29And I think that's a good thing.
00:42:29Numbing yourself for a number of hours is not a solution.
00:42:38We had been running at a heavy pace.
00:42:42There was no other focus than the job.
00:42:45It's very easy to go to some dark places, I think.
00:42:50Pete's my best friend, you know?
00:42:51And your best friends can see things that others can't.
00:42:55And they can see those little changes.
00:42:57And we had a talk or maybe a dozen talks, I think.
00:43:02I noticed things that were obviously affecting him.
00:43:09Definitely unfocused anger at times that seemed out of place.
00:43:14Uncharacteristic.
00:43:15It's just turned into, like, turned darker, I guess.
00:43:24It's hard when the thing that brings you so much energy and drive is also the thing that's, like, slowly
00:43:33destroying you.
00:43:38Not too long after I got divorced and just a lot of things were happening, you know, in my own
00:43:46headspace.
00:43:49I think the hardest part of that was, I guess, admitting it.
00:43:56And I remember calling up my sister, Robin.
00:44:00We went out into the backyard where I was living.
00:44:03And we sat there.
00:44:05And it took me a good four or five minutes to say,
00:44:12I think I'm suffering from pretty bad depression.
00:44:21I think I was ashamed, you know?
00:44:23I think I felt shame that I had kind of succumbed to that.
00:44:26You're supposed to be bulletproof, right?
00:44:28You work in a space where horrible things happen every day.
00:44:33And you need to stand resolute every day and just be, you know, be tough or whatever we tell ourselves.
00:44:44And that was a big step in, I think, moving forward.
00:44:50I stopped drinking at that point, mostly out of fear.
00:44:58I think my birthday was the last day I had a drink that year.
00:45:04And I just, I had actually opened a beer.
00:45:10And I remember having a few sips of it and then just putting it down.
00:45:16And that was it for two full years.
00:45:18I just, that was that.
00:45:22And I needed to try to focus on getting my head straight.
00:45:32And a lot of that was for my kids, you know?
00:45:38I didn't ever want to be, you know, someone, I guess that, you know, they weren't proud of.
00:45:55Yeah, that was a lot of my motivation to get started.
00:45:58To get better.
00:46:11You said you were fearful?
00:46:14Yeah.
00:46:16What do you mean?
00:46:18Suicide.
00:46:19But I just didn't want to, I didn't want to have those thoughts anymore, you know?
00:46:29I didn't want to hide from the pain.
00:46:32I didn't want to run from the pain.
00:46:37I just, I didn't want to leave them behind, you know, I didn't want to end things that way.
00:46:47Because I wasn't winning, you know what I mean?
00:46:49I wasn't winning by myself.
00:46:50It just wasn't, it just wasn't going to happen.
00:46:52It wasn't going to be a fight that I was going to win.
00:46:59And if I didn't, if I didn't lean, reach out and talk to Robin, talk to Pete, you know, maybe
00:47:12be in a bad place.
00:47:15And I just didn't want to be there.
00:47:26It's funny to think about, like kind of diving in with the, you know, the case of looking at the
00:47:311A major.
00:47:33Pete entrou em ação pra ajudar o amigo.
00:47:37You know, I thank them.
00:47:38I'll always thank them for getting me away from a place that was kind of dangerous.
00:47:44And I feel very, very fortunate to work with all my friends across the globe and to have them to
00:47:50lean on and say, hey man, it's okay.
00:48:09I remember the first years of working, it was really difficult.
00:48:17I think it was hard.
00:48:19I think it was hard.
00:48:20Иногда, день, два, три, ты ходил в таком выключенном состоянии,
00:48:27и все время эти картинки, они были перед глазами.
00:48:33И вверх брали эмоции.
00:48:39Мы, как офицеры специализированных подразделений по всему миру,
00:48:45и все время, вы знаете, мы стали понимать друг друга просто с полуслово.
00:48:52Вот, наверное, настолько у нас, за время нашей работы…
00:49:00…
00:49:04…
00:49:05…
00:49:06…
00:49:07…
00:49:36…
00:49:37…
00:50:06…
00:50:36…
00:51:08…
00:51:09…
00:51:09…
00:51:11…
00:51:11…
00:51:11…
00:51:11Srochna, srochna, Ivan, trevoga.
00:51:15Eu vi a сообщinha, de Grega.
00:51:19Eu lhe dei uma descrição do garoto.
00:51:22Eu disse, talvez, seis, sete anos, cabelo blanco.
00:51:25Eu saberia quem ele é, se ele é, de fato, um filho que está morto.
00:51:37Os policiais passaram a examinar algumas fotos postadas por LBO.
00:52:00Eu sobe telefone do envolve-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou
00:52:07-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou-lou,
00:52:07que o olho vôr do seu filho que o seu filho de casa se foi volvou-lou.
00:52:17de escola.
00:52:26Essa é a ônibus de ônibus
00:52:28depois de estudar em escola.
00:52:31E, portanto, ele saiu e
00:52:33seguiu ao caminho
00:52:35do caminho
00:52:36ao caminho do seu casa.
00:52:52Uma mega-operação foi montada
00:52:54pra tentar localizar o menino.
00:52:57Casas abandonadas e fazendas
00:52:59foram vasculhadas.
00:53:0214 дней розыска
00:53:03в режиме нон-стоп.
00:53:05В этой поисковой операции
00:53:06были задействованы
00:53:07все возможные силы и средства.
00:53:10Правоохранители, военные,
00:53:11спасатели, криминалисты, опытные
00:53:13поисковики.
00:53:15В поисках мальчика принимают участие
00:53:17жители села и добровольцы из разных районов
00:53:19нашей области. Каждому дают посильную
00:53:21задачу.
00:53:23Мальчик приехал после уроков
00:53:25на школьном автобусе в родное село,
00:53:27но до дома так и не дошел.
00:53:29Полиция объявила награду
00:53:31за помощь в поиске мальчика
00:53:32в 1 миллион рублей.
00:53:59Ад called off the search October 11,
00:54:02в том, что они были просто
00:54:03looking for the boy's body.
00:54:06И, you know,
00:54:07now we had called, you know,
00:54:08relatively out of the blue,
00:54:10and said, you know,
00:54:11we think he's alive.
00:54:12While we breathed life into the investigation
00:54:15there, we also knew just how dangerous LBO was.
00:54:21And that was nerve-wracking.
00:54:24We knew we were going to need some serious resources to get this done.
00:54:28And, you know, those resources certainly included large data sets,
00:54:33large databases that Interpol holds.
00:54:35And, you know, one of my favorite people in the world is Gordana.
00:54:45I received a message from Greg asking me for help.
00:54:51I know Greg for a long time.
00:54:55We worked together.
00:54:57Greg knows that I speak Russian.
00:55:02Gordana was an investigator with great experience
00:55:05in cases of sexual abuse of children,
00:55:07and Greg decided to accion it.
00:55:12Can you tell me
00:55:13what information you had to start with?
00:55:19Loverboy only.
00:55:21LBO.
00:55:23Username.
00:55:24I have only username.
00:55:27and information that this username maybe kidnapped the boy.
00:55:36I start working on this case,
00:55:39and nothing else except the work.
00:55:43Everything disappeared.
00:55:45Because I know that probably the life of this kid is in our hands.
00:55:57To try to identify LBO,
00:55:59Gordana recorreu aos HDs confiscados pela Polícia Federal Brasileira
00:56:03during the capture of Lubaza.
00:56:08Nesses dados compartilhados com a Interpol,
00:56:11ela encontrou mais de 13 mil arquivos,
00:56:13como fotos, links e mensagens,
00:56:15relacionados à LBO.
00:56:21So I was reading all the comments,
00:56:25searching anything that can lead us to this guy.
00:56:40You know, from an undercover perspective,
00:56:43a lot of our job was doing kind of round-the-clock observation,
00:56:47observe the community and see what occurred.
00:56:49We were in literal constant contact,
00:56:5320-plus hours a day.
00:56:54I'm not sure Gordana was even sleeping,
00:56:57to be honest.
00:56:58All of us was in different time zones.
00:57:02But even if it's a night in the US and Russia,
00:57:06and I send a message,
00:57:07I get reply immediately.
00:57:09So because of that,
00:57:10I realized we are all not sleeping.
00:57:13We didn't even think about sleeping.
00:57:29I just think we must find him.
00:57:32We must find him.
00:57:35Because he will kill him.
00:57:38We weren't under the illusion that LBO would do anything
00:57:44but kill this boy.
00:57:46He had been talking about that stuff for years.
00:57:48Kidnapping and killing a boy.
00:57:58These users, they really care about security.
00:58:03Because of that, it was very difficult to find him.
00:58:07But they made mistake.
00:58:10And we are hunting for these mistakes all the time.
00:58:25The first one was that LBO seemed to suffer from schizophrenia.
00:58:31Now, in Russia,
00:58:34people that have diagnosed schizophrenia
00:58:38actually are entitled to a pension.
00:58:40Some compensation every month from the government.
00:58:44That would be something that Yvonne
00:58:45and their team could look into.
00:58:49The other point that they found was,
00:58:51he talked quite a bit about his brother's occupation.
00:58:55And it was an occupation that probably could be checked
00:58:58in databases there in Russia.
00:59:02And then the third point was,
00:59:04LBO had a conversation with another person
00:59:08about his mother being killed in a car accident.
00:59:11And actually had a date, a year rather,
00:59:14that that car accident had occurred.
00:59:15A polícia russa começou a cruzar as informações
00:59:19em busca de pistas que os levassem à LBO.
00:59:24And in one of the records, we saw that
00:59:27a pension for a psychiatric illness
00:59:30gets a kind of KPLU Dmitri,
00:59:32from 1994.
00:59:34We already turned on to us immediately.
00:59:38We thought, isn't it he?
00:59:40We called our colleagues
00:59:42and they confirmed that, yes,
00:59:43that his neighbor's neighbor
00:59:45works in their association.
00:59:50At that moment,
00:59:52the team had a certain sense
00:59:53about the identity of LBO.
00:59:57The only question was
00:59:58if the child sequestrated
01:00:00was still alive.
01:00:12And they were given a child
01:00:14who killed his orphan and his wife
01:00:19and had a best thought
01:00:19They were decided
01:00:23to check the son of KPLU.
01:00:27We were then
01:00:29that then
01:00:29for a while
01:00:30after that
01:00:32it was decided
01:00:33to try not to see
01:00:34the death of his family
01:00:35and get sick.
01:00:37We would have to get a bit
01:00:39from a mile from the store
01:00:40to him.
01:00:41The police were going
01:00:45Desculpe, desculpe, desculpe.
01:00:48Desculpe, desculpe.
01:01:08Desculpe, desculpe.
01:01:38Tudo, tudo, tudo, tudo!
01:01:42Tudo, tudo, tudo, tudo!
01:02:12Да ладно, сука, давай, блядь, парни, мальчик внутри!
01:02:18Пацаны!
01:02:19Дверь открой!
01:02:20Открывай дверь!
01:02:21Дверь открывай!
01:02:24Открывай корень!
01:02:26Ебашьте его там, блядь!
01:02:28Дверь открывай, блядь!
01:02:30Офицеры спецназа крикнули нам, что мальчик жив, он здесь!
01:02:35И мы закричали, что мальчик жив!
01:02:38Мальчик там, все, слава богу!
01:02:42Мальчик там!
01:02:43Да!
01:02:43Да, да, да!
01:02:47Дверь нам, блядь, открой!
01:02:49Братцы!
01:02:50Открывайте, пацаны!
01:02:52Дверь, блядь!
01:02:53Нормально!
01:02:54Да, да, живой!
01:02:55Братцы!
01:02:59Братцы!
01:03:00Братцы!
01:03:01Братцы!
01:03:02Братцы!
01:03:02Стоп!
01:03:02Стоп!
01:03:03Стоп!
01:03:04Стоп!
01:03:06Те сотрудники, которые проникли через окна, они практически
01:03:10сразу задержали взрослого мужчину, которым оказался
01:03:14Копылов Дмитрий.
01:03:16Так, три шиловы, Сергеевич!
01:03:17Пошли!
01:03:20Вон, пошли!
01:03:21Везти, а то это...
01:03:22Везда!
01:03:23Везда!
01:03:24Везда, Везда!
01:03:24У меня на куриц!
01:03:25Везда куриц!
01:03:26Как тебя зовут?
01:03:31Я подошел, взял его на руки.
01:03:36Молодец.
01:03:37Ничего не бойтесь.
01:03:37Все хорошо.
01:03:41Я думаю, то, что я почувствовал на этот момент уже у меня
01:03:45на лице, наверное, да?
01:03:50Ну, это был неописуемый, конечно, восторг.
01:03:52Foi uma alegria.
01:03:54Muitos policiais, e inclusive os policiais de especialistas,
01:03:57então morreram.
01:03:58Eles não poderiam descer de esta cena.
01:04:02E, claro, eu ensinava o Greg e o Gordano.
01:04:22E disse,
01:04:24''We have, we have the boy.
01:04:27He's safe.''
01:04:30F***ing awesome.
01:04:32You know, it was just,
01:04:33just the,
01:04:36just the best news
01:04:37that I think I had received.
01:04:40You know, and just staring at my phone,
01:04:43looking at that message.
01:04:45F***ing, I looked at Pete there and I said,
01:04:48''They f***ing found him.''
01:04:50It almost took your breath away.
01:04:51You know, that's how intense it was.
01:04:55It was maybe 3 in the morning
01:05:00and I just wake up in a little bit panic.
01:05:05I grab my phone,
01:05:08take a look,
01:05:09and I see my colleague holding the boy.
01:05:24No words to explain this moment.
01:05:43You know, and seeing that picture of his parents hugging him.
01:05:52Yeah, it's just,
01:05:55kind of makes you think of like when you hug your own kids, you know,
01:05:58and you, you, it just brings a totally different value to that.
01:06:02You know, and to, to know that they're safe and to know that they're in your arms.
01:06:05I mean, those parents were told a month earlier that, that their son was dead.
01:06:13Um, and that, you know, there was no more hope.
01:06:17And there they were holding him on the train.
01:06:22Maybe the most special moment, you know, in my career.
01:06:46There was a third time I was here.
01:06:50But I was like, I'm getting into this place.
01:06:55I'm getting into this place.
01:06:57Because here, of course,
01:07:01in one of the late days of 2020, just happened to a miracle.
01:07:05I can't call it.
01:07:07I can't call it.
01:07:12Fuh.
01:07:20Notcaps.
01:07:21I'm getting into this place.
01:07:32I don't want to get into this place.
01:07:36I'm sorry.
01:07:37And then when we're in love,
01:07:38we're in love, that and we're in love...
01:07:41We're in love with abusive lives.
01:07:45We're talking about new young young people.
01:07:47We're in love with us.
01:07:47And we're in love with us.
01:07:49de uma criança, de uma família, de um círculo de pessoas.
01:07:55E isso é indescritível, a sensação é muito boa.
01:08:00E é isso que nos move.
01:08:02É isso que move cada policial, tenho certeza que trabalha com isso.
01:08:07É ter essa sensação de dever cumprido ali, naquele momento, que aquilo acabou.
01:08:14Infelizmente, é um problema muito sério, que talvez seja difícil para a sociedade aceitar que ele exista.
01:08:23Que a gente precisa estar atento aos sinais que as crianças dão,
01:08:27que as polícias precisam se especializar mais para escutar essas crianças.
01:08:33Mas sim, nós precisamos ainda que a sociedade acorde para esse problema.
01:08:39Parece que a criança está sozinha.
01:08:41Porque como é um crime muito dentro ali do círculo íntimo da criança,
01:08:48ela acha que ela está sozinha.
01:08:49Mas não, tem milhares de policiais trabalhando para evitar que aquilo aconteça
01:08:54e para acabar com aquele sofrimento.
01:08:56É muito legal, assim, de que essas pessoas saibam.
01:09:00Vocês não estão sozinhas.
01:09:02Nós estamos aqui, estamos trabalhando dia a dia para acabar com isso,
01:09:07para minimizar isso.
01:09:17Mais de uma década após resgatá-la,
01:09:20Greg encontrou Lucy,
01:09:21a sobrevivente de seu primeiro caso na Dark Web.
01:09:34I told you a little bit about the bricks, the brick thing.
01:09:37I've known about the brick thing since the beginning.
01:09:40You did, yeah.
01:09:41Like the whole idea of even being able to have this conversation someday is still like feels super surreal.
01:09:47Yeah.
01:09:48Like it feels like a miracle in a way.
01:09:50I am incredibly lucky to have a good support system right now while I'm dealing with this.
01:09:55I have more stability, I'm able to have the energy to talk to people, which I could not have done
01:10:02this even like a couple of years ago.
01:10:05No, you know, you just move on and deserve to live like an awesome life.
01:10:09I would love to be, work on being a functional person.
01:10:13Memory loss is a big part of these things.
01:10:15And I just don't remember a lot of it, which is fine with me.
01:10:21Yeah, right.
01:10:24But like at that point, I was praying, praying actively for it to end.
01:10:32I had been at that point for years, but not to sound cliche, but it was a prayer to answer.
01:10:38Yeah.
01:10:39Yeah.
01:10:40Sounds weird, I'm sure, but like you wish there was some telepathy and you could reach out and be like,
01:10:43listen, we're coming.
01:10:45Yeah.
01:10:45Like, like that sounds cheesy, but like that's the genuine feeling when you're in the middle of those things and
01:10:51you just want to like reach out and go, we're going to get there.
01:11:09Yeah.
01:11:46We're going to get there.
