Original subtitles

- Go, Juanchi - Blow the candles

Blow them out

Simón, I wasn't sure if you were here I've been calling you

- My bad, I slept in - Okay, it's not that bad

As usual, some clients called last minute

I have to show the apartment Can you tidy up?

This one in particular is a corner unit

Which, for me, is one of the best layouts in the building

Here we are As I mentioned, the unit is currently unoccupied and

Simón, come on Pick up the speed

I'm on it

Cumin?

Freeze, motherfucker

- I got you good - Oh, you think you're tough?

- How's it going, bro? - All good?

- Chillin', all good - You good?

So, here I am, brother What's up?

What do you think?

Are you for real?

How the fuck am I supposed to get on that?

Are you scared? Don't you know how to swim?

There's duct tape all over this shit It won't float

Don't be a wuss, Chucho Help me get it out

- You're shitting me, right? - No way, man

For real?

For fuck's sake We're going to sink

Keep rowing, come on

No way Check this out

Who's scared now?

Like Gattuso

- Get over here - Come on, then

Hey, coach, bench this fool

Bring it

You could've reached that

Listen, bro

I've been thinking

It's time

Let's go back

The sun's still up

No, dumb-ass Back to Venezuela

I think things have cooled down

I say we fly to Colombia

And we go in through Cúcuta We have to avoid the airports

If we get caught, we're fucked

Flights are like $500 right now

We work for a month, save up, and we're out

We go back home, bro

Simón, so good to see you

- Helena - How are you?

How is everything? Good?

One second, we just received new donations

Families keep arriving from Venezuela

But tell me

Are you going to file for asylum? Did you find a lawyer?

I don't think I can afford one, right now I

You know what? I got you

Melissa Come here

Melissa, this is Simón

- Simón, this is Melissa - Hi

She's a volunteer here

And soon, she'll be going to law school, right?

Potentially, yes

So, Simón here needs help with his asylum application

Helena, you don't have to, I can--

- Can you help him? - Yes, I can totally help you with that

Yeah

- Thanks - You're welcome

And, hey, just tell me if you need anything

Towels, sheets, shoes, anything

Helena, the mattress you gave me the other day

it burst, I--

Yes, yes It burst

Those things don't even last a month

The mattress

Don't worry about it

Meli, can you help him to check if we have a mattress?

- Oh, yeah - I'm pretty sure there's at least one

- Yeah, I think so - Yeah, okay

Thanks

So, I just met with my professor from undergrad

Basically, we need to submit your application as soon as possible

Before your tourist visa expires

Okay And then we'll wait for an interview to be set by an immigration officer

and he will decide whether to grant asylum or not

Okay?

Um So, I'm thinking I'll record you, if that's okay?

And then I can listen to it back and I'll make sure to, um

you know, summarize the important details on paper, yeah?

Okay Let me set this up

Okay

Okay

So, maybe you can

tell me a little

Okay, um

I started going to protests since 2014

Me and my best friend

But then, in the university, I

put together a team

Because the dictatorship kept getting worse

and there's no future for us

unless things change

More students joined

It soon became an official student movement

We were like a family, we

FREEDOM

What do you think, Joaquín?

Simón Simón

What happened?

Um

It's just I just needed some air

You okay?

Could we do it here, like, just?

Yes, of course

What did you study?

Engineering

Fix and build boats

You always knew you wanted to do that?

Yeah, I don't I

I just liked being in the ocean

Me too

I used to go fishing a lot with my dad

We would catch these huge dolphins

- You caught dolphins? - Yeah

Oh, no--

No, no, not the not the mammal What's it called? Uh

Like this, mahi-mahi

Sorry, it's like a Florida thing

- "Golden Fish" - Yeah

- In Spanish - Yeah

It's great

Your dad knows how to fish?

Yeah, he really did

I never finished

The university shut down a lot and

we spent more and more time being activists rather than students

♪ We wish ♪

♪ A happy birthday, to you ♪

Blow them out

Blow them out, Juanchi

You missed one

"Salita"

♪ I will give you ♪

♪ I will give you something ♪

- ♪ I will give you something ♪ - Come on

♪ Something that starts with a "B" ♪

A beating

Chill, chill

- Cut it up - Who's got the knife?

- Happy birthday - Adri Adri

"Salita"

Did anyone bring gifts?

- Leave him alone - No one brought a gift?

Don't be so annoying

How old are you now?

- No one brought gifts - Don't ask that

How many fingers am I holding up?

At least we brought a bottle, drink that shit up

Bro, I want to see you hammered

Hey

Allegedly, there was an internal investigation

and no one was found guilty of the shots fired at Juanchi's face

What?

What will we do about that?

We have to hit back

- Chucho - With what?

Chucho, we can't fight the military by force

They look for any excuse to shoot at us

And then we're the ones who end up screwed

Screwed? We're already screwed

- Adri Here - What difference does it make?

I'm going to get real with you guys And you too

Going out to the streets and protesting

It's over

Look at Juanchi

You want to keep hitting the streets so they can keep killing us?

Because that's what's gonna happen They will keep killing us

- Bro, you're just scared - Hey

- Scared my ass - Yeah, right

How many more dead do you want, Chucho?

- It's always the same - Take it

- What about the international community? - Are you kidding me?

But we can launch a campaign on social media to get more attention

- Yeah, sure Let's pay for ads - That doesn't work

What do you think, Joaquín?

I think we should stop protesting

- Are you insane? - That's whack

Are you serious, Joaquín?

The problem is the military

We have to find a way to get them on our side

Make sure they know they won't be tried if they support us and we achieve change

- Yeah, keep on dreaming - It's been tried

How do we convince them? We bring them flowers?

Damn, Adri Do you think it's okay

for the guy who shot Juanchi to get away with it?

Huh?

No

Those who shoot at their own people are fucking done

- That's right - They're done

Fuck them

Amnesty my ass

Guys, all you've been saying is that we need to wait for someone else

to get us out of this mess

The military, the international community

the opposition

- Right, the opposition - They're useless

No one will get us out of this mess

No one

Egypt, Libya, Ukraine

It's always the same deal

Everything begins

with people on the streets

And that's us

- But for how long? - Simón, us again?

It's always us, what about the others?

I know Hey, guys, I know

I know we're tired of hitting the streets

I know

I know we've done it again and again and we've even been millions at one point,

and we always get the same results

So many have died

yet nothing changes

On the contrary, it gets worse

And while we're on the highway taking fire and tear gas,

there are people three blocks away ordering whiskey at a restaurant

As if nothing's happening

- It's true - The irony

The nerve

But that's the problem

That's the problem

It can't just be some of us

It has to be everyone

Because you know what the hardest truth is?

That everything we've done in the past 20 years,

every generation before us

all the sacrifices we've made

everyone we've lost

All of that, still

it has not been enough

It's not that the protests don't work No, no, no

It's that if it hasn't worked,

it just has not been enough

If the military haven't turned, Adri,

the pressure hasn't been enough

If the international community hasn't done shit,

the pressure hasn't been enough

If we're still here talking shit while the government is still in power,

it's because the pressure

Has not been enough

What's wrong, Joaquín? You were kind of quiet today

You were smoking, weren't you? Pass it down, don't be stingy

What's up, Joaquín?

I'm scared shitless

I'm scared, too We all are

Speak for yourself I'm not scared

Knock it off, Chucho

We go out with cardboard shields and they go out with tanks

Of course it scares me

But you know what scares me more?

To stop fighting and lose the country for good

That shit scares me

It's going to be alright, brother

We're in it together

Why the hell did you stop?

- Back up Back up - What the fuck are you doing?

It's them Back up now, man

Shit

Chucho, send the team our location now

Okay, I'm on it

They're here Juanchi, grab my phone

What's going on?

- What's happening, Chucho? - Just stay calm

Which one is it?

Copilot

Hey Take that one

What the fuck are you doing?

Where are you taking him?

- Stay in the car - What did you do, Joaquín?

- Simón - Watch out for that one

Stay in the car, Chucho

Grab him

Joaquín, what's happening?

Smarten up, man Take him too

Joaquín What did you do?

He's coming with us too

Can we finish this another time?

Yes, yeah, of course Yeah

Just one thing

You should talk to your team over there

about getting signatures to corroborate all of this

It's considered essential evidence to support your case

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

I'M SO GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU WE'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK

MEETING WITH THE TEAM

WE CAN MEET AT 8 PM

STUDYING WHILE STARVING DOESN'T WORK

The crimes against humanity

committed by the government of Venezuela

For 20 years, this government has been in power

People are getting beaten brutally

The government of Venezuela is shooting and killing its own people

This is truly a repressive regime

Protests filled with extreme violence from the government

Hundreds have been injured and dozens have died

My question is how long will the protests last?

How do you overthrow a tyranny

when that tyranny is backed by the military?

protests and call for the military to back them up

Doesn't he have a phone?

We still don't know where that is

- What if he was threatened? - There's no way he'll bail

Guys

Simón

Simón, can you hear us?

I can hear you

Simón, how are you?

Where are you?

Miami

Damn

Miami

- How are the American girls? - Seriously?

Simón, how are you?

How are you guys? How are you holding up, Juanchi?

All good, brother I wish I could see you, but

I'm happy to hear your voice We've missed you

I have a question, Simón Why didn't you write to us in four months?

For real

Antonio, I'm sure he had his reasons

Sure, I just want to know what those reasons were

What happened?

Antonio, we don't know what happened to him

Of course we don't Nobody knows what happened to Simon

- Enough - No one knows anything

All we know is he left months ago and never contacted us again

Enough, Antonio

So I can't just sit here and pretend like nothing is wrong

Antonio, that's enough

- Come on, it's the first time he joins us - But we have a right to know why

- This isn't the way - We're in the dark while he's in Miami?

- She's out - Not again

Here, open this Hurry

Water

- What happened? - Adri fainted

Give her space

- Check her bag - It's got nothing

- Anyone have any chocolate? - Something sweet

You need sugar, right?

- She's back - I'm good, I'm good

- I'm fine - Don't you have anything in your bag?

No, but I'm good

As you can see, it's not the first time this happens

Adri ran out of insulin and we can't find any here

I'm glad you saw that

Though I'm sure now that you're in Miami, you don't give a shit about any of this

Antonio, stop

Cut it out

- You sure you're okay? - Yeah, I'm alright

I can get the insulin here

Send me the prescription I'll get it here Okay?

- Thank you, Simón - Thanks

See? It's much easier to get it there

He'll get it

- Look - I know

Helena, I was wondering

if it's possible to get insulin here with a Venezuelan prescription?

I have to send some right away

There's a Latin pharmacy that sometimes sells without prescription

- I can send you the address - Yes

In fact check this out

We are shipping these in three days

Here we have all the medication that has to be stored in a refrigerator,

like insulin

And what do you know? There's room for more

When you get it, we can ship it with this

But it needs to be ASAP This ships out Monday morning

- Sounds good? - For sure, yes

Great

Hey

You ready to grab a coffee and finish up?

Yeah, uh

Can you send me the address? I'd rather go right away

Yep, I'll send it now Head to Hialeah

- Thanks, Helena - I'll send it now

How can I help you guys?

I'm looking for insulin

This type

Yeah, sure, we got it

How many do you need?

For, like, two months So like, nine

Okay

You got a prescription?

I mean an American prescription

The situation is that the insulin is not for me

- It's for my friend - It's okay

No worries

That's gonna be 2830

Are you kidding me?

That's what it costs

The insulin isn't for me My friend in Venezuela is dying

Sorry about that

I can pay part of it now and give you my boss' number--

I can't do that

You know what you can do?

If you can find an American prescription,

you go online, you find one of those online coupons,

bring down the price to like a third

We can do that, yeah

She's not here I can't get a prescription or coupon

I'm just trying to help

You're not $3,000 for insulin?

- You're speaking English now? - Just trying to help

You were speaking Spanish before

There was a group rioting up ahead

The National Guard chased after them

They started running away

They ran into me,

and they took me instead

Listen

Our team is doing everything they can to locate us to get us out

So just hold on

Team? You guys were also rioting?

Yeah, we were Why?

You realize we're in here because of guys like you?

Listen up, asshole I highly suggest you shut the fuck up now or else--

If you'd just stayed put, they wouldn't have come for us

If we had all taken to the streets, we wouldn't be in this mess

What is this? What the fuck is that?

What's going on?

- They're going to burn us - No No

Look at me, look at me

Breathe

It's okay

Okay

What exactly is it that I can do for you?

We need a prescription

I'm not sure what Melissa told you,

but I'm a psychiatrist, I don't prescribe for diabetes

Really, Mom?

Would you excuse us?

Melissa, it's fine, I can talk to Helena--

Mom, all you have to do is sign a piece of paper

Prescription fraud is not only illegal,

I can have my medical license revoked

Nothing?

Nothing

What's with the long face? You're scaring the fish off

So what happened with the insulin?

Haven't found it yet

When are they shipping?

You're filing for asylum?

Sure you are

Are you serious?

Okay, so What about the team?

What are you saying? No way What's wrong with you?

- What do you want me to do, Chucho? - What the fuck do you mean by that?

We're going to abandon the team like that? Seriously? After all we've been through?

Nah, cut the bullshit You're pissing me off, man

We have to stop bullshitting ourselves

into thinking we're going to change the country

We'd better move on

Asshole

Move on?

Be thankful no one from the team heard that crap coming out of your mouth

You think you can stay in Miami?

Living the life of Riley while everyone is screwed back home?

While the team is struggling?

Good luck with that, Simón Let's see how you sleep at night

You know what? You're swimming back to shore

Sorry, man, I'm sorry

I'm sorry

It was me, sir I'm sorry, it's not gonna happen again

You can take it out of my pay, if you want,

but it's not gonna happen again, I swear

Clean it up

Come on

I'll take care of it

- Sure? - Yeah I'm sorry, man

- Bye - Bye, take care

Bye, Simon

Bye

Hey, yo, yo

Heading home or what?

Yeah

Hey, listen, man

If you're tight on cash,

maybe we could, you know, do something

Do what?

You know, it's crazy

how much stuff people just leave in their car here

Bro, I know a guy who can sell anything

I had a car last week, Gucci bag, Louis bag, brand new pair of sunglasses

Cashed it in for two G's

If I got somebody to spot me

It's a lot of cash, man

I'm good

You sure?

Hey, think about it

What's up?

Oh, there's a girl at the door for you

Let's talk We'll talk after, yeah?

- Hey - Hey

What are you doing here?

I was just, um

on my way to the shipping center to drop off the cooler and

I wanted to show you this

I have nine more of them in the car

Ships out tomorrow

Meli, I'm gonna pay you as soon as I get the money

No, don't worry about it Don't worry about it

It it really was much cheaper with the prescription

I got it somewhere else

Okay

We closed lunch, but let me take you somewhere

Oh, okay

Thanks again, Meli

By the way, about my mom

I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have taken you there

- No, it's fine - No, it's not

The thing is

I'm not entirely sure I wanna go to law school anymore

My mom's pretty upset about it

But

you know, I work as a paralegal at this law firm right now

and I'm basically a glorified secretary

And none of the partners at the firm seem to care

about anything that's going on in the world

I just thought I was going to be making a difference and

I'm sorry, I shouldn't be complaining

I thought

I was making a difference

Hey, you Come with me

Where are you taking him?

Come on, we're going to get you cleaned up

You either come out or we drag you out

- Bro - It's okay I'll go with them

You sure?

Oh, boy, will you look at these two?

I'll bring your boyfriend back

That way

Move it

Chill out

Take him to the showers He fucking reeks

Motherfuckers

On your best behavior

Simón

Damn You're being accused of acts of terrorism

These are serious charges

You could stay locked up for a very long time

Oh, so you don't agree?

Do you know what a terrorist is?

A terrorist is an individual who commits acts of violence

for political purposes

Didn't you take your little group out on the street to attack the National Guard

for political reasons? Hm?

Don't worry, Simón

I'm not here to get you in trouble

No

I'm here to get you out of trouble

Okay?

SWORN STATEMENT

Sign

and you and your friend will be back home in an hour

It just says that

you call for all students to stop going out to the streets

Damn

You would stay locked up here for something as childish as your pride?

Hm?

You all fall for the same story time and time again

Those so-called "opposition leaders," they fill your heads with ideas

They talk of "freedom" and "justice"

Calling people to the streets against a so-called "dictatorship"

There is no dictatorship here

Can't you see?

All there is here

is a business

Don't you think they're all up in this business as well?

And you all go to the streets, with your signs

and your little rocks

thinking yourselves martyrs

You're no martyrs, Simón

All you are is children headed towards a slaughterhouse

because you haven't the faintest idea what you're actually up against

Tell me Do you think that, if you overthrow that fool,

things will change?

Nothing will change

And if you don't sign this,

it won't make a difference either

Because, if you don't sign,

the next one will

The only difference, Simón,

is that when the people get tired

when the protests stop,

and people go back to their normal lives,

as they always do

The only difference is that you'll have stayed locked up

Rotting

Like an idiot

And you will realize

that nothing you do

nothing

will make any difference at all

Sign, Simón

And go home

Sign

Because otherwise

things here will start getting ugly

SIGNATURE DATE

Have you had a chance to talk to your team about the signatures?

After we send the insulin

Speaking of, I've

I gotta drop that off at the shipping center

You wanna come with me?

- You okay with time? - Oh, yeah They're open 24/7, after--

No, no, no No, no

Goddammit

My bag and my laptop and my

Fuck

The meds, the insulin Someone took it

Goddammit, what am I gonna tell Helena?

It took Helena like two months to collect all that stuff

and it's, like, medicine for 15 families Now what am I gonna tell her?

- What will I tell her? - Stay here

- What? - Give me a second

- Where are you going? Simón - Trust me Stay here

We have chardonnay if you'd like, I could bring the whole bottle

- Jordan - If you guys, uh

- Jordan - Excuse me, give me one second

- Was it you? - What are you talking about?

The car outside, was it you?

- Was it you? - Come here

Listen, the cooler inside the car has insulin

- Huh? - My friend's dying, man

I don't care if it was you, I just need to get it back now

Please, man, yes Don't you understand English?

- I'll get it to you after my shift - I need it tonight

- I'm working - I'll get it, where is it?

- It's in storage - What storage?

The storage where we take all the stuff where we sell

Where is it? I'll get it, man

Oh, God

Here you go I'll text you the address, don't touch anything else

Send it

This is just an office

This way It's a storage

Okay

Where did he say it is?

It's like a "private" sign

Let's search

- Is this yours? - Yes

Hey

Going to steal from me? Put it on the ground

- On the ground - Easy

You can lower your weapon, we're not armed

- Who else is with you? - It's just us two

- You sure? - Yes, it's just us

Go back there

- Now - Just turn around

- Move, damn it - Easy or he will hurt us

Shut up

Stop

Turn

- What are you doing here? - Sir, we just--

What are you doing here, Simón?

Simón, answer him

What the fuck are you doing here? Tell me now

- We're looking for medication that-- - There's no medication here

Jordan took some medication by mistake He gave me the keys--

No Keep your hands out

- Sir, I work with Jordan - He gave you the keys?

Yes, that's how I was able to get in here

- I have the keys here - Let me see the keys

Slowly, slowly

These are the keys, right?

Jordan gave them to me

That's how I got in Here

I'll put them here

Son of a bitch

Goddammit

We managed to set a meeting with leaders of universities across the country

We're going to discuss what to do now that the protests died out

We decided that

you should be in that meeting

It's tonight We'll send you the link so you can join?

You guys don't know what I did

When I was in there

They asked me to sign something

- It's okay - Yeah, it doesn't matter

We don't mind

We don't care whatever it is you had to sign

Listen to me You're still part of this team

I'm not fucking going

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Who do you think you are to be yelling at me like that?

That attitude of yours is fucking pissing me off, Simón

First you say you're filing for asylum or whatever it is you want to do,

and now this?

Huh?

You're telling me you can't be there for a simple video call?

A fucking video call

Don't you get it's more than a video call? Don't you get it?

I'm starting from scratch here, barely making ends meet

I don't have it in me to get involved in what's going on over there

I'm not fucking going

Listen, bro, I don't know what the fuck is going on with you,

but here's a quick reminder

We don't have the luxury of not getting involved, and you know it

Do you have a wallet?

Driver's license? Some form of ID or something?

No, sir

Call Immigration

Assault Undocumented

I have a passport with a tourist visa in my apartment

I swear

Call CBP Run biometrics on him

Hi, excuse me

I need your help with something, I'm looking for

Yes, I got the email

She'll get back to you on Monday morning

Okay, I'll make a note

Simón Simón

Don't talk to them, don't say anything, okay?

I'll get help, I'll get help Call me

Call me, okay? Um

Seven, eight

- Six, six - Ma'am

- Please, step away from the window - One, one

Two, three

- Five, seven - Ma'am Officers

I'm going You got it?

- Ma'am, please step away - It's 7866112357

I'm going, I'm going

I'm going

So now they have him in holding and I'm not sure what to do

It's hard to say since they haven't charged him yet

If they determine it to be aggravated assault,

or moral turpitude,

they could deport him, even if he's requesting asylum

So, now what can I do?

Um What was the fight about? Who did he punch?

I'm not sure

Okay, well, try to find that out first

See who the guy was, maybe he'll cooperate

Okay, I can do that

- Thank you so much, this was helpful - You're welcome

at 12:45 You have it?

Yeah, look

Thank you

CLASS XXII HE WHO READS THIS IS A WUSS

BALL

Drop it

Go, go

Thanks

Joaquín

I'm a friend of Simón

He's in jail and he might get deported

What do you want me to do?

Just come with me to the station and tell them it was a mix-up

Tell them the bouncer grabbed the wrong guy

That's it

Come with me, I'll drive you, please

You know what will happen if they deport him, please

This is his ID

He was the one who got assaulted,

but there was a mix-up, and the bouncers grabbed the wrong person

He can tell you

We're still waiting on Immigration to ID him,

there's really nothing we can do

Well, I can ID him We can ID him Let me show you

Here

That's him, that's his passport

I've been helping him with his asylum papers

- Can I take this? - Yes, yes, of course

Is this your friend?

Yes, yes This is Simón

Is this the guy who assaulted you?

Is this him?

Is it him?

Didn't you ever wonder why I did it?

I don't give a fuck why you did it

It's just a misunderstanding

- They're clearing it up - What do you think?

That I did it for money?

Because I felt like it?

They threatened my family My family

They had pictures of me in the protests

They had pictures of my mom

Of my little sister

What was I supposed to do?

What would you have done?

You know if I said anything, they'd come for my family

For my little sister, who has nothing to do with any of this

What was I supposed to do?

I know what I did

Don't you think I bear that cross every day?

Knowing that it was me who betrayed the team?

They screwed us all, Simón

They weren't supposed to take Chucho

- Don't you say his name - Is it him or not?

I was there, man

I was there when they fucking beat Chucho to death

They sat me in a chair and beat him to his fucking death

- And that shit is on you - That's it

So I don't give a damn what you say Explain that shit to Chucho

Get the fuck out of my face, you coward

- No - Simón

It's time to go Out

Joaquín

Joaquín, please

Please

Fucking son of a bitch

He has the fucking nerve to come here with excuses

It wasn't his fault

Of course it was his fault

If it weren't for him, none of this would've happened

It wasn't his fault, Simón

He was just protecting his family

In fact, they got to him because he was with us

Am I wrong? It could have been any one of us

You know it Are you really gonna blame him?

What was he to do? Keep quiet? He got the short end of the stick

It wasn't his fault

It wasn't his fault

Fine It's true It wasn't his fault It was mine

It wasn't his fault It was my fault

So now it's your fault?

Yes, it was my fucking fault

I put the team together, Chucho I took you guys out on the streets

I was the one who got it into your heads that we, a bunch of students,

were going to save the country Yeah, right

That's why they got to Joaquín That's why they fucked Juanchi's face up

That's why they took you To get to me

Because I'm a fucking idiot and too proud to sign

That's why you're dead You're gone because of me

Am I wrong?

It's my fault that you're dead

You're right, Simón

You're an idiot

We all knew we could get into trouble That they could take us

But you know what? Everyone decided to own up to it

You know why?

Because you set the example and weren't full of shit like the others

I don't regret anything, bro It's okay

It's okay

Getting out of the car that night, I'd do it a thousand times again

And the fact that you didn't sign, Simón

It's the most badass shit ever

And I'm proud to call you my brother because of it

I miss you, brother

I miss you like hell

Shit, fuck

786

611

2357

Come on, come on

Pick up

Hi, Meli I hope this is your number

Things are not good

I think Immigration is gonna come get me

But I just wanted to tell you

Thank you

For everything

Thank you

And

One more thing

Can you send a message to Joaquín?

Just tell him

"I understand"

- Simón - Hey Hey

What happened?

My professor got me a meeting with the State Prosecutor

and then, um

Joaquín showed up

and he said he wasn't going to testify if charges were pressed,

so he had to drop them

You're free

It's done

Simón Wait

In your written statement,

it says that a couple of days later you were released

But it isn't clear to me why they released you

Could you explain that to me?

They let us go

because they wanted to

That's what they do

They

They take a group of people and beat them and break them

And then they release them

And then they take another group of people

and they do the same thing

all over again

It's like

It's like a revolving door

So, everyone who's fighting them,

at some point, goes through there

And

And then everyone's afraid

Do you have any reason to believe

that you'd be taken again if you went back?

When they released us, they

they told us we needed to report back to them

every two weeks, in person

Or they would come for us again

But I never did

I never reported back I left

You left?

After Chucho

I

I couldn't be there anymore

So I got on a plane

I didn't have a plan, I didn't tell anybody

I left

And

why would they just let you leave the country?

I'm not some important political figure

I was just a student

They don't care if I leave,

they only care that nobody there is fighting them anymore

And I'm not there fighting anymore

I just left, so

in the end

they got what they wanted

Okay, just give me one moment

So, if I understand correctly

In 2022,

the UN reported years of continuous crimes against humanity in Venezuela

Arbitrary detentions, torture and extrajudicial killing,

carried out by the government to suppress the dissident

To this day,

over 77 million Venezuelans have left their country

It is the largest exodus recorded in the history of the western hemisphere
