during these times, I'm sorry

that I'm not able
to give you good news.

They've decided
to save Citizen Gómez

for another time.

Which time?

A time in which the government
is not in the eye of the storm.

And that's possible?

Listen, it's not my decision.

I'm just letting
you know Citizen Gómez

isn't happening.

Well, I have other ideas,
