No. No food. I stuffed.
:42:05
OK. All right.
:42:07
Thank you.
:42:08
So, Mr. Navorski,
I have some very good news for you.

:42:12
What?
:42:14
I've figured out a way
to get you out of this airport.

:42:17
How?
:42:19
Well, we have laws here
that protect aliens

:42:23
who have a credible fear
of returning to their own country.

:42:27
If we can establish this fear with you,
:42:29
then the CBP will be forced
to begin Expedited Removal Procedures,

:42:34
to bring you to an immigration judge
and let you plead your case for asylum.

:42:40
- Asylum?
- Mm-hm, asylum.

:42:42
Unfortunately, the courts
are so backed up with asylum cases

:42:47
that the soonest you'd get before
a judge would be six months from now.

:42:52
Yes, and we would have no choice
:42:56
but to let you go for those six months.
It's the law. You'd be released.

:43:01
You would be free to wait
in New York until your court date.

:43:04
But, believe it or not, most people
never show up before the judge.

:43:09
- So I go New York City?
- Uh-huh.

:43:13
You can go to New York City tonight.
:43:15
But, you only get to go
if we can establish a credible fear.

:43:20
- Fear?
- Mm-hm, fear.

:43:22
- Fear.
- Fear.

:43:23
From what?
:43:26
That's the best part.
:43:27
It doesn't matter what you're afraid of.
It's all the same to Uncle Sam.

:43:32
So I'm going to ask you one question,
:43:34
if you give me the correct answer, I can
get you out of this airport tonight.

:43:41
So, I answer one question.
:43:44
Go to New York City. Tonight.
:43:46
- Tonight.
- Tonight.

:43:48
- Tonight.
- Tonight.

:43:53
- OK.
- OK.

:43:56
All right.
:43:57
Do you, at this time, have any fear
of returning to your own country?
