The driver managed to escape.
:19:25
The French authorities gave the men
water and time to rest...

:19:28
...then hustled them back into ltaly
and marked the incident closed.

:19:34
What were they? ltalians?
:19:36
No. Young Africans.
:19:39
This particular group was smuggled from
the lvory Coast to ltaly, then into France.

:19:44
Smuggled? Why?
:19:46
To do all the dirty, back-breaking jobs
white Europeans refuse to do.

:19:52
Road gangs, factories, kitchens....
:19:55
Maybe they needed the bread.
:19:57
The recruiters are luring thousands
of young Africans into Europe every month.

:20:01
They've no work permits,
no social security.

:20:04
If they complain, they're deported.
:20:07
They work a 16-hour day, 7 days a week,
for literally pennies.

:20:11
This, Mr. Shaft, is slavery
in the 20th century.

:20:16
Then just arrest the cats who are hustling
the people and that's the end of that.

:20:22
We want the men at the top.
:20:24
We need a trained investigator.
Somebody they don't know.

:20:28
To infiltrate their organization.
:20:31
To do this,
he has to let himself be recruited in Africa.

:20:37
So, get an African investigator.
:20:39
They know all our men.
:20:41
-Get someone who's not an investigator.
-We did.

:20:47
My son let himself be recruited
in East Africa.

:20:51
His body was found last week in Paris.
:20:54
In a ditch.
