All language subtitles for Upon Entry (2022)

-Anyway.
-Let's get to work and stop fooling around.

So on Friday, February 15th, 2019,

we're back here at APM Radio and we
are dedicating the program to Donald Trump.

Because our friend Donald
Trump says he wants to declare

a national emergency so he can start
building the Mexico border wall!

The fact is, the President of
the United States needs 5.7 billion

to start building the wall.

This man knows lots about
money, and if he says that...

Yeah, he can't be far off.

Well, you know, together all
of us could start a crowdfunding

donate what we can for Trump's wall.

-One euro, two, one hundred...
-Terminal 1, 2...?

-Terminal 1.
-Which airline?

AirFlight.

So now, today's news.

- What's wrong?
- I think I forgot...

- Your what?
- My passport.

Can you stop a second, please?

- Check in this...
- Okay, got it.

- Yes?
- Found it.

- Keep going?
- Yes, yes.

Hi, dad!

Yes, yes, we're on our way.
Everything's all set.

Dad, we'll be back every year.

Say hi to them.

Diego says hello too.

Okay, I'll call you when we arrive.

Love you. Me too.

Bye.

Yes, we are. We're on
our way to the airport.

I'll call you when I get there.

Thanks.

Fucking hell...

Ari! So, we just...

landed in New York, and now we've got
about 2 hours or so for our connection

to Miami. And anyway, we'll...

we'll put you on the list of all the people
that will be coming to visit us. So...

I hope Sergi is alright. Give him a
kiss and I hope Bernat feels better.

And I'll talk to you when I arrive, okay?

Kisses! Love you.

Go stand at the end of the line.

Do you have the water?

-I'm starving.
-Yeah...

Do you have the form, or did I keep it?

You kept it. Look in your pockets.

No, no. We lost it.

No. You lost it.

Listen, over there, where the line
starts, there are plenty to fill out.

Thanks. Wait, hold this.

Hold this for me.

-Do you need a hand with this?
-No!

Don't worry about it.

I can do it.

You came in from Barcelona?

Yes.

You speak very good Catalan.

I have a very good teacher.

Yeah. I thought I saw
you guys on the plane.

Intimidating, isn't it?

I'd said it's downright scary.

You're Latino, right?

Yes.

The form.

Good to go. Do you have the pen?

No, no. I don't have a pen.

-Excuse me. Do you have a pen?
-Yes, sure.

Thank you.

Fruit... no. Vegetables no.

Animals no.

10,000 euros in cash. No.

I hope we get the guy at number 18.

How do we declare ourselves here?
Residents or visitors?

-Leave it blank. Yes, leave it blank.
-Sorry.

-You can give it back when we get in.
-Okay. Thanks.

-You're welcome.
-Thanks.

Okay...

Family... two. Okay.

Finished!

All done. What were you saying?

That I hope we get the guy at number 18.

Number 18, come on...

Hello, good morning.
-Hello. Hi.

Sir, could you put that down?

Passports please.

Passport sir, please.

Are you related ?
-Yes.

We are with our immigrant visas.

Sir, could you place your four right hand
fingers on the scan for me please?

Could you try that again?
- Yeah.

Alright. Now your right thumb.

Now your left hand.

Now your left thumb.

Alright. Look in the camera for me please.

Okay.

Now you miss, same thing.
Right hand.

Alright, now you right thumb.

Now the other hand.

Now the thumb.

Okay. Look at the camera for me please.

Follow me.
- Is everything alright?

Please follow me.

Maybe they just want to
check our visas and that's all.

Sorry, where are we going?

The secondary special.

Take a seat here please.

We have to ask them what's going on.

Yeah.

-Let's do it?
-Hang on.

Hello sir, sorry...

Is this going to take long?

We have a connecting flight to Miami.

Everybody has a connecting flight.

Please take a seat.

Right.

We won't have time to see my brother.

The flight doesn't depart
for another two hours.

Yeah, but he's waiting for us outside.

I'm going to call him.

Sir! No phones here.

What did she say?

I'm sorry, no phones? OK.

Mr. Bucher, can you come here please?

Why are you traveling with so much luggage?
I'm bringing presents for my family.

How long you think they'll keep us here?

I don't think it will be long.

Shit, you were right. We should
have had something to eat.

I'm always right.

Sorry...
- Yep.

How long have you been waiting here?

About... three chapters
- What?

Three hours.

Thank you.

We have an hour and a half.

-Hey.
-What are you doing?

Are you alright?

Yes.

Mr. Hernandez, miss Pamies.

What's the purpose of your visit?

We are moving here.
- OK.

And we have our immigrant
visas approved in Spain.

And did you fly straight from Spain?
- Yes.

So no connecting flights.
- Ah, well...

We did Barcelona Madrid, Madrid New York.

OK then, you did fly straight from Spain.

Yes.
- That's all I ask.

Who bought the tickets?
- We did.

Where?

Internet
- Okay

Have a seat please. Thank you.

Sorry, is there anywhere to get some food?

No ma'am.
- Water?

No.

It's better not to keep asking.

-The less we complain, the better.
-Why?

Because if they get pissed, they screw you.

Well, if they piss me off, I can
screw them over even more.

No, fuck. Just wait.
We have to see the big picture.

But if they're going to hold us here for
five hours, at least they could tell us.

At the very least we should
know what's going on.

Well, it's simple.

They check information.
You have to wait here.

Then they call you to the desk
to ask you a couple of questions.

And that's that.

But if you make them uncomfortable...

they can be a pain in the ass.

You mean even more of a pain in the ass?

This is some welcome!

Ma'am, sir, follow me.

Let's go.

Ma'am, sit down.

You, put your luggage on the table.

Can you open it?
- Yes.

Who packed this suitcase?

Me. Well... us.

What is that?
- Routine check.

Do you have any devices with you?
Ipad, cellphone...

If I had my cellphone...
- Can you turn it off?

Put it in the carry-on and lock it.

Someone is waiting for us, outside.

We have to let them know we're here.

Is your final destination New York city?

No, it's Miami.

Then why is someone waiting for you out here?

Well, it's my brother.
- We wanna say hi before we fly to Miami.

You know how long it takes to get out and back in through security?

Can you put your cellphone and luggage away please.

Sir, sit down.

Ma'am, can you bring yours.

Who packed this carry-on?
- Me.

You or both of you?
- Me.

Read a lot?

Yes, is that a problem?

What's this?

My medicine.

And this?
- My insulin shots.

I'm diabetic.

What's he doing?

I can't believe it.

I'm freaking out.

Ma'am, cellphone.

Great.

And this?

This is the open bag.

We have all papers here.

Let me see.

Ma'am. Sit down.

Here. Here here.

Come on. Here.

Mr. Hernandez, can you step here please.

Did someone hand you something on the plane
or any point in the air?

No.
- Turn around please.

Did anyone hand you something on the plane or in the airport?

No.

Turn around.

Turn around please.

You can both sit now.

Come on.

Wait here, an officer will be with you shortly.

- This isn't normal, is it?
- No.

Why are they searching us like this?

The lawyer said they might ask us
more questions, but not fucking all this.

I don't know. I've never been
searched like this in my life.

In my life!

Maybe it's because of your lost passport.

-"Stolen".
-Well...

No, but that was supposedly taken care of.

I don't know.

Do you think we're being filmed?

No.

I don't think so.

But hey, they can film us if they want to.

I don't give a shit!

You didn't leave a joint somewhere
on you or anything else, right?

No.

Diego Hernandez?

Miss. Sit down.

So...

Diego Hernandez

Born July 14th 1981 in Venezuela?

Yes.

Pamies. Pamies Baseras?

Born in Spain.
- Barcelona.

Yes.

Do you have your medical exams and papers with you?

Sorry, but we have a connecting flight.

We should be heading to the boarding gate right now.

We also have someone outside waiting for us.

So you have a connecting flight or you have someone waiting for you.
- Which one?

Well, both.

I wouldn't worry about either one right now.

Can you hand me your medical exams?

Mr. Hernandez first.
- Yes.

Now yours miss Pamies please.

Do you have any previous passports with you?

I don't.

You got them?

Entries to the United States in the past 10 years?

Yes.

Countries visited in the last 10 years?

It's on the same paper.

They should be on two different papers.
And so you know.

Social media accounts and user names.

Yes.

You're Hernandez Armas, born July 14th 1981?

Yes.

What's wrong with this lady, she's
going to screw with us just because?

How many times do we
have to go through this?

As many times as necessary.

Right, sorry, but what we don't understand
is why we have to go through this,

repeating everything again and again.

For your own interest, I recommend you
answer the questions you're asked here.

And I remind you that lying
in this country is a felony.

Mr. Hernández, do you
have another nationality?

No.

What is your legal status in Spain?

I have a residence permit as
the partner of an EU member.

And that's all.

I applied for Spanish nationality.

-And did you receive an answer?
-Not yet.

And you don't have to be in
Spain to complete this process?

-Yes.
-So, you're giving up that opportunity?

It's just that we had a
deadline to come here.

What does that mean?

Well, that I'll have to continue
the process from here.

Can that be done?

I hope so.

And you're his partner?

Yes.

- Elena Pàmies, born in Spain...
- Pàmies.

- December 4, 1987.
- In Barcelona.

You received this Diversity Visa because
you applied to the U.S. Green Card Lottery.

- Correct?
- Correct.

- Who was the winner?
- Me.

- Sorry. Can I get some water?
- And you applied as well?

Yes.

- But you didn't win.
- No.

Was this your first time
applying for the visa lottery?

- Yes, for me yes.
- Not for me.

Which years did you apply?

This year.

In 2012 and the first
time in 2008, I think.

Third time is the charm.

You really want to come to the US huh?

No matter what.

What other family members
have applied for this visa?

My dad and my sister.

- And has either of them won the visa?
- No.

Are you married?

No, we're domestic partners.

- You're what?
- Domestic partners.

- Exactly.
- And why aren't you married?

Well... What for?

When did you sign your civil union?

- Two years ago.
- That's right.

Do you have relatives here?

My aunt and uncle and a
half-brother here in New York.

And are they American citizens?

My aunt and uncle are.
My brother isn't yet.

And you, Ms. Pàmies?

No, no one.

- You're a dancer?
- Yes.

Where did you train?

In Brussels.

How long were you in Brussels?

Three years.

There are lots of immigrants there, right?

Yes.

So, you are an urban planner?

That's right.

According to the data we
have here, we gather that...

when this procedure was approved,
you were unemployed.

Yes.

- And you?
- No, no. I had a job.

Doing what?

I was a teacher.

- Teaching what?
- Dance.

Where?

In Barcelona, at a dance school.

Who did you teach?

Children, young kids.

Why did you decide to come here?

- Well...
- To work.

Why not another European country,
isn't it easier for you?

Well, we wanted to try
somewhere outside of Europe.

And Canada?

Australia, even. There are some
good programs for foreign couples.

Well as a young couple, we
preferred to try something here.

32 and 38 years old isn't
considered a young couple here.

So, do you think it's easier to get a job
in the United States than in Spain?

I know that my job qualifications would be
much more highly valued here than in Spain.

But from what I see here,
you don't have any document

indicating that you have
a job offer or sponsor.

- I have a... I have an offer and...
- Do you have anything in writing?

No.

So, you don't have a contract or anything.

No, but I'm meeting him next week.

I remind you that you are not
officially in the United States yet.

Even though you won the Lottery Visa,

this interview has the last word.

And the decision is up to me.

What's your final destination city?

Our final destination is Miami.

And after that?

No, the idea is to stay in Miami.

If Miami doesn't work out, we thought
maybe New York or Philadelphia.

Or San Francisco...

Or San...

Are you aware of how far away and
different these cities are from each other?

Yes.

Well, we're open to all options.

And why Miami?

My aunt and uncle are there.

Did you give me the document
with your bank balance?

It's right here.

- We had a copy... here it is.
- Yes.

This is all you've got?

Yes.

We consider it to be sufficient.

Do you have any properties in your name,
in Spain, Venezuela?

Some other country?

No.

- A car?
- No.

Nothing in your name?

We have a dog.

Is it with you here?

Not now.

Have you ever been denied a visa?

For the United States?

Yes.

An extraordinary ability visa.

And what reason did they give you?

I don't know, they didn't explain it to us.

And what are these extraordinary abilities
that you included in your application?

My professional career.

And why didn't you apply with yours?

Because we thought that
his had a better chance.

Maybe it was the other way around.

Why are we answering the same
questions as at the Embassy?

Because we have new information.

We're comparing data.

When did you meet each other?

In Barcelona.

- When?
- Three years ago.

Barcelona. Where?

At a party.

Did you live together before
signing the civil union?

Yes.

How long before?

Six months.

Who proposed it?

Both of us.

And was there a religious act or anything?

No. We signed the papers.

Nothing else?

- Nothing else.
- You're not religious?

- No.
- No.

But we respect all religions.

And your parents approved of this union?

Yes, of course.

-Yes.
-Your parents, Mr. Hernández,

- do they live in Spain?
- No.

And did they go for the signing?

No, they couldn't come.

When the last time you entered the United States?

I think four years ago.

Is this the first time you've been brought in for interrogation?

Yes.

But you've been for secondary inspection before,
haven't you?

Yes.

It says here that you traveled
with a stolen passport.

Did you steal it?

No.
- Who did?

Nobody. I still have it.

Actually...
- This one.

Who reported it stolen?
- Don't know.

It was a misunderstanding.

This has been checked already.

By the way you speak very good English.
You practice a lot?

But your Spanish accent
sounds a little weird.

From many years being away.

Are you nervous?

A little.

And why is that?

This is making me nervous.

What's making you nervous?

Being questioned.

You know what makes me nervous?

-Liars.
-All this could make anyone nervous...

Lady! I'm talking to Mr. Hernández.

So, you two are almost living as de
facto spouses you could say, right?

Because the whole marriage
thing just isn't for you, is it?

Maybe marriage is a little old fashioned.

For the previous generation. Is that it?

Yes, I think so.

But that doesn't change
your love for your partner,

even if you don't want to marry her.

No, of course not.

And why were you married to an American?

You haven't been asked
that before, have you?

Were you married to an American?

-No, I wasn't. I'm not married.
-You're sure?

Yes, I'm sure I'm not married.

But even though you
don't believe in marriage,

you applied for a fiancé visa, didn't you?

-Yes.
-And why's that?

I was in a relationship

-and we got engaged.
-What year was that?

Well... I don't remember.

You should remember.
It wasn't that long ago.

It says here that visa was approved.

Yes. But I never went to the interview.

And why's that?

Because we ended the relationship.

Remind me... what was her name?

Kate Rodríguez.

Where does she live?

Back then she lived in Miami.

She no longer lives in Miami?

- Well, I don't know.
- What did she do for a living?

She was a cook.

Where did you two meet?

Online.

Where did you see each
other for the first time?

We never saw each other in person.

How's that?

We could never coincide.

I didn't have a visa
and she couldn't travel.

And you didn't keep in touch with her?

No.

How long did the relationship last?

About a year.

A year!

And you never saw each other?

No. Not in person, no.

When did you get engaged?

Ah... seven months into it.

How old were you?

I don't remember.

You lose your memory very quickly.

What was your age difference?

Eight... Ten. Ten years.

And who was older, her or you?

Her.

So, she was...

45.

Do you know that in this country a marriage
of convenience is considered a crime?

Yes. I know.

Were you in a relationship with
Kate Rodríguez for the papers?

No, that wasn't the case.

It says here this visa was approved

but you didn't go to the interview
at the consulate in Caracas.

You weren't in Caracas, were you?

No, I'd left already.

To Barcelona.

I think there's something
here that doesn't add up.

Were you engaged to Kate Rodríguez

at the same time you were her boyfriend?

That's why I left Kate. Because I
met Elena and everything changed.

But, unless you're lying to me,

it seems you got engaged seven months later
when your relationship had already begun.

Maybe you didn't want to miss out
on either of the two opportunities.

Could you answer something?

Why did you get engaged on that occasion,

and this time you decided on an open union?

- What changed?
- They're two totally different situations.

But for the same purpose, to obtain a visa.

No.

I understand you don't have any children.

No.

Are you pregnant?

No.

Any sons, daughters from
a previous relationship?

No.

You?

No.

Do you have any family members who
depend on you here or outside this country?

No.

Could you please take miss Pamies to the waiting hall and...

give her a glass of water.

Miss Pamies, would you please?

Mr. Hernandez, stay here.

I'll be right back.

Mr. Hernandez....

You in love with your partner?

What is that?

It's my phone.

Supposed to have your cellphone off.

I need to answer, it's my brother.

He's waiting for us outside.

Take it out. Turn it off.

Why can't I answer my phone?

This is an interrogation.
Turn it off and sit down.

Yeah.

OK, I've had enough.
Just hand me your phone.

That's OK.
- I need the phone.

Unlock it.

Really?
- Yes.

What are you doing with my phone?
- Hiding something? - No but...

Now, we check your luggage, we can check your phone.

Got a laptop? A laptop.

Password?

Verdi217.

Can you spell it?

Lower case v...

e... r... d... i...

2-1-7.

Now sit down.

That right?

No capital letters, no spaces?

That's good.

So. Mr. Hernandez, are you in love with your partner?

Yes, of course.

And the other time I was in love too.

What side of the bed does she sleep?

Right side.

Is she a jealous type?

No, not really.

Not really, no?
Has she never been jealous?

Well, eh, maybe once.

Yeah? With who?

A friend of mine.

Yeah, what's her name?

Frederica.

Frederica?

Is everything alright?

Just answer the questions.
- Where would you like to retire?

I have no idea.

No idea. You never talked about it with her?

Not really, no.

When was the last time you traveled together?

This summer.

Which countries did you visit this past year?

Ehm, Italy, France.

Belgium.
- Any trips on your own?

Berlin, Caracas.

When did you last visit Venezuela?

Ah... last year.

For how long?
- A month.

Why?

It's fine.

Eh... visit family.

Anything else?

I renewed my passport.

You went all the way to Venezuela to renew your passport.

It's faster if you do it there.

When you went to Venezuela,
did your partner travel with you?

No.

Has she ever been?

No.

Why not?

It's not the best time to visit.

Yeah? Tell me about it.

You do know what's going on there.

It's become very violent and...

the political situation doesn't help either, so...

Why?

What do you mean why?
Have you seen the news?

Do you think I have time to watch news from Venezuela?

You could be thrown in a jail, shot at or disappear.

It's just the way it is.

You don't have police down there?

Police there is not like here, you know.

So you got in trouble?

I got kidnapped.

You got kidnapped by the police?

They said they were police.

When was that?

A year before I move.

And how did you get out of it?

I paid.

You bribed police officers?

How long did this last?

An entire day.

It's not that uncommon.

Would you go back to live in Venezuela?

Now? No.

You do know that you only have
your Venezuelan nationality, don't you?

Yes.

If you break up with your partner...

where would that leave you?

You have to go back to Venezuela.

Now.

Why would I break up with my partner?

What if she breaks up with you?

So why don't you tell us why you chose Barcelona.

I wanted to study there.

Where you already thinking about staying in Barcelona?

No, I had no idea that would happen.

When did you decide to stay and live in Barcelona?

Sorry?

I said when did you decide
to stay and live in Barcelona?

When I met Elena.

When I met Elena.

Did you have any relationships prior to miss Pamies?

In Spain you mean?

Between your first marriage and this one.

I did not get married then and I'm not married now.

When did you hook up, date anyone in that time period.?

Yes, yes I did.

Now who was she?

My roommate.

Where was she from?

Kassel.

Where is that?
- In Germany.

You have a taste for many nationalities.

Like to mix it up, don't you?

How often do you have intercourse?

Excuse me?

How often do you have
intercourse with your partner?

You're serious?

Twice a week.

Do you want to have children?

Yes.

Soon?

Yeah.

No, but not now?

Are you OK...

having children of your own.

Far away from home?

I've been away from family for a while.

It'll be OK.

Do you trust your partner?

Yes, of course.

You think she trusts you?

Yes.

Did you mention your previous engagement to her?

Yes.

We talked a little bit at some point.

So she knew?
- Yes.

She consciously knew about
your previous engagement?

Yes.

Diego.

I know this is uncomfortable.

And that a person like your partner
can make all the difference.

I know what you're doing.

And I don't judge you, okay?

I don't judge you.

I don't understand what
you're talking about.

You think you're the first immigrant to
come here with everything in place to stay?

My cousin did the same thing.
He married a gringuita and...

now he already has his green card.

But I'm not doing that.

Tell me the truth and
we'll be done with this.

You don't get in, of course, but...

you go back to Spain, where you
can easily finish your procedure.

Tell me the truth.

Now, if you don't tell me the
truth, we'll put you in jail,

I don't know for how long,

we'll deport you to
Venezuela, and you won't

be able to come back,
not even on vacation.

Say it!

"I'm with her for the papers".

And that's it.

I didn't do what your cousin did.

What?

- Are you judging my cousin?
- No, no, it's just that...

They're different cases.
They're separate cases.

Because you immigrated here with money.

Because you aren't one of
the ones who cross over.

You're a... What do you call it?

A snob.

Tell me something. Are you someone who
gets here and looks down on the newcomers?

Because let me tell you something.
To me, there's no difference.

You know what? I prefer the ones who
cross over. I have more respect for them.

Bring miss Pamies back in.

Miss Pamies, come on in.

How are you?

Mr. Hernandez go on with
the officer and wait in the hall.

I need some sugar.

I'm sorry, what?

I'm a diabetic, I need sugar.

Now.

Yes.

Can't wait?

Do you have some with you?
- In my carry-on.

Go ahead.

And bring me your phone.

Okay.

Password?

1 - 8 - 1 - 1

Mike, eh... 1811

Can you tell me what's happening?

English please.

OK to that.
- Alright.

Let me see what's going on.

Hey, guys!

Guys! Come on!
- I'm on it.

Are you okay?

Let's move out.

Go to room three.

No, just leave your stuff there. It's fine.

No, it'll be fine.

Mike, three is ready right?
- Yes.

Close that one for me.
- Yes sir.

Do you wanna have children?

What?

Why do you want to know,
it's none of your business.

It is.

Yes.

Soon?

Don't know.

Have you discussed it with your partner?

Yes.

You think you'd like to have children...

far away from your home.

the family, not a problem?

It will not be a problem.

You've given a lot of thought
to what you're leaving behind?

Yes.

And you're OK paying 600 dollars each...

per month for medical insurance, all that.

There's no other way.

Are you in love with your partner?

Yes.

You do know everything you
say in here is on the record.

Have you been married before?

No.

How many times do you have intercourse.
- With your partner.

You mean sex?
- Yes.

Depends on the season.

Have you been to Venezuela?

No.

How come?

I'd love to go, but eh....

But what?

He's worried about the situation.

The political situation, right?

Yes.

He's concerned something might happen to us.

Caracas is a very violent city.

So you don't know his friends?

You don't know where he lived?

How do you know everything he's told you is true?

I met his parents.

They came to visit us once

for a couple of months.

That long?

How did you get along?
- Fine. Fine.

And they live in Caracas, don't they?

Mhm.

How do they manage?

Well, it hasn't been easy for them.

They ever thought of leaving the country?

It's a possibility.

Where to?

There was a possibility of them coming to Spain.

Do they if he doesn't live there anymore?

I don't think so.

So now the plan is to bring them here.

Why not?

That would take forever.

You close with your family?

Yes.

They eh... they get along with Diego?

Yes.

Really?
-What?

Do they approve of... you know.

What's the point of this question?

See if you're being honest with us.

He gave us his version of the story,
we wanna hear yours.

Hey... my mum...

didn't like him at first
and now she's OK with him.

And my dad doesn't really care.

What she didn't like is that
he was from Latin America.

How does that make you feel?

I mean...

I understand my mum.
She was raised in different times.

So you're OK with your
mum being a little bit racist.

That's not racism.

It's just how she was raised.

How often do you see them in Barcelona?

Three times... per week.

Three times a week, that's eh...
twelve times a month.

For twelve months...

That's about 140, 150 times a year?

Yes.
- Yeah and how old are they?

My mum's 72 and my dad's 75.

So, what do you give them, 10, 20 years tops?

I don't know.

Yeah, and what would that add up to, about ten
or twenty more times you see them before they die.

Assuming they're in good health.

And if you can travel every year...

now which is not always the case.

Miss Pamies...

This is the first time you've been in the United States. Right?

Yes.

So you are willing to give all that up and move
to a country you have never been to before.

I don't get it.

Did you used to travel a lot with the dance company?

Yes.

And did your partner travel with you?

No.

Ever affect your relationship?

No.

No?

Why would it?

No, yeah distance could be a problem sometimes.

Opportunities for new friends, new faces.

Old friends, Frederica, that sort of thing.

Do you still trust each other?

Yes.

Did you know he was engaged to this other woman here?

No.

Does it matter?

I don't know.
Does it?

What was Diego doing when you met?

He was finishing his masters.

In modern urbanism, right?

Correct.
- And you met that year?

Yes.

When he finished his studies, did he find a job?

No.

How did he support himself?

He worked part-time in my uncle's clothing factory.

And where did you live up till now, in Barcelona?

In a flat.

In your apartment?

My grandparents'.

So he not only got a job, he got a place to stay.

That's not bad.

Do you remember the date when
you signed you civil union agreement?

Around that time.

March, 2018.

And did you agree to meet his partner to help him out?

No.
- So you didn't want to help him out.

It wasn't the main reason.

But it was one of the reasons.
-Yes so.

We could continue together.

Like what his American fiancé did for him.

Did you ever think that maybe he was
with you only because of the papers?

No!

I mean, I know that was something that he needed, but...

I don't think that...
- So you're a dancer huh?

Yes.

What kind?
- Contemporary.

Contemporary. You studied for that?

Yes.

Can you show us something?

Show us a move.

Here?
- Yeah.

I'd rather not. I can show you a video
if you give me back my phone.

I'm not asking this, just show us some move.

What?

No.

I'm sorry?
- No.

I'd do it if I were you.

I won't do it.

You won't?

You understand what I'm saying, right?
- Yes. Yes.

Are you going to do it or not?
- No, I don't need to prove this.

You wanna get in or not?

Sit down.

Now go ahead, sit down.

Miss Pamies, don't you realize mr. Hernandez
is with you because you are a European citizen?

I don't agree with that.

Don't you realize mr. Hernandez is with you...

because you won the Lottery Visa.

Don't you realize mr. Hernandez is with you...

because you're his only way out.

Don't you see he's trying to do with you what he did with

Kate Rodriguez?
- He was dating both of you at the same time.

I guess you're the lucky one because he chose you.

But don't you think you maybe fell
in love just a little too fast?

Don't you think you signed your common law papers too fast?

I'm sure this is not the first time
someone tells you this, is it?

No, it's not the first time I've heard this, but what's...

the problem? Where can you date
someone who comes from a fucked-up country

and not be questioned about it.
- Listen...

Did you actually need, for you,
to sign those civil union papers?

Did you even want to?

Think about it miss Pamies.

Who do you think ends up better?

And get that immigration visa rejected in the first place?

Please stop!
- Who's idea was it to apply?

For the Lottery Visa.

It was his.

Did you even think of coming to the States before you met Diego?

No.

Miss Pamies...

You're the sole winner of his Lottery Visa.

If you want we can arrange for you to stay in the country.

Just you.

What's it gonna be, miss Pamies?

Let me explain it to you.

Not now.

Don't tell me just because I didn't tell
you about it, you believe all the rest.

I should have told you about it.

I made a mistake.

We missed the flight, you know?

Aren't you going to say anything?
What are you thinking?

I want to go back home.

But what was I supposed to say to you?

I was in a relationship,
and we got engaged,

but it didn't go anywhere
and we didn't get married.

Besides, you wanted to leave too.

Even before me.

You wanted a change of scenery because...

your parents were smothering you.

And the situation in Spain
was going nowhere, right?

I've put a lot of effort into this.

My life has revolved around you.

The volume down please.

You haven't risked as much as I have.

You always have a place to go back to.

I thought you were the one
who had a plan B in place.

I didn't handle it in the best way, but...

that relationship was never
important to me.

You were going to get married.

You know they asked me if I
knew you had been engaged?

And what did you tell them?

The truth.

That I had no fucking idea.

Did they ask you too?

And what did you tell them?

The truth.

Sorry, the toilet please.

Please take her.

Thank you.

Mr. Hernandez, miss Pamies, can you please come forward.

Your devices have been backed up in case we need to do further investigation.

Your carry-ons will be here with you shortly.

Welcome to the United States.
