[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[MOTOR RUNNING]
Bravo! You look great out there!
Sexy! [CLAPS]
[ARI ON RECORDING] I don't
know what came over me
or what I was thinking.
I'll meet you in half an hour
at the pier on the lake.
Please come and hear me out.
- I never got that message.
- It looks like it was sent to me.
I never got that message,
I'm telling you!
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING]
[OMAR BREATHING SHAKILY]
'Cause it's not the same at all.
Why isn't it the same thing? Go on.
Why?
[SIGHS] Because it was only sex for you.
So now you're hooked on
him? That's the deal?
[SIGHS] No fuckin' way.
No fuckin' way, Omar. Are you
fuckin' kidding me right now?
Look, Ander No.
I I mean No, no.
This can't be.
Please, man. I'm fucking
confused as hell. Ander!
- Let's go to the lake and talk, please.
- To talk about what?
- What's there to talk about?
- [OMAR SIGHS]
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [DOORBELL RINGS]
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[BIRDS SINGING OUTSIDE]
Rebeka's sleeping, so go
the fuck back home, okay?
[DOOR THUDS]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
- What are you doing? What's up? Hi.
- [MENCÍA] Hi.
- [SANDRA SIGHS]
- Please move.
[MENCÍA] Believe me. I had no idea
what I was getting myself into.
- [BIRDS SINGING]
- [REBE TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
You did it enough times.
You'd think you'd figured it out.
Rebe, I can't change something
that's already happened.
You know I desperately wish I
could, but that's not an option.
I can change my behavior from now on.
You serious right now?
Do you really think I'd
fall for that shit, huh?
[MENCÍA SIGHS]
[EXHALES] When I got home,
I made up an excuse
they never even asked for
because you and I both know they
didn't care what I'd been doing.
[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
They were just relieved to see you.
[MENCÍA] Well, yes.
And I liked feeling
that sense of relief
because it's the same relief
I felt in that hotel room
when you hugged me,
even after everything you saw.
- [SIGHS]
- [REBE SNIFFLES, EXHALES]
[MENCÍA CRYING SOFTLY]
[REBE] No, wait up.
[SNIFFLES] Come here.
["OUTER LOVE" PLAYING]
[REBE] Don't ever do that to me again.
Waiting in outer space ♪
Wishing to touch his face ♪
I'd tell it to his face ♪
Dreamin' of you all day ♪
[BENJAMÍN] Have you seen Ari?
[SIGHS] She told me
she would meet me here.
- [SAMU TYPING]
- [BENJAMÍN SIGHS]
[SAMU SIGHS, SNIFFLES]
- [BOOK THUDS]
- [BENJAMÍN SIGHS]
[BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
I would start with a
more personal approach,
then I'd go to the data.
Because data is boring.
It's really our emotions
that transcends it all.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
How was your weekend?
- Uh, good. It was pretty nice out.
- Yeah.
How's Mencía? Did she open up?
- No. With her, it's best not to talk.
- Right.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[BENJAMÍN EXHALES] Okay.
- All right, show me what you got.
- [SAMU] Okay.
No, no. Stay right there.
You're fine where you are.
[SAMU TAKES A DEEP BREATH,
CLEARS THROAT]
I can go first if you want.
I'm really eager to.
Very well.
[ARI TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
Prisoner reentry is just a utopian
ideal. Experience has proven it.
It all depends on the
prisoner's will and choices,
not on institutions.
I'd like to point out,
we are the country with the
biggest percentage of prisoners
- Not the most crime. They're not related.
- Whoa.
This isn't casual barroom banter.
Wait your turn to respond, and
please don't raise your voice again.
We're the highest in all of Europe.
A hundred and twenty-six prisoners
for every 100,000 citizens.
And that, Samuel, is a fact.
A hundred twenty-six prisoners
with 126 families,
friends, and loved ones.
Prisoners have people close to
them. You've thought about that?
[SCOFFS] Of course I thought about it,
but that's not what
we're talking about
We are. It's not the kind of
thing you can just gloss over.
What's your focus?
People or numbers? What?
Numbers, so you can distance
yourself and dehumanize them.
[ARI SCOFFS]
I mean, imagining myself, Samuel
García, being dragged into jail.
- [GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
- Looking at a bunch of years ahead of me.
And imagining every
Samuel García in jail.
My family and friends
might be able to help me,
but the system won't let them.
Because after a stint, all you'll
ever be seen as is a felon.
[MUSIC BUILDING]
And that's what happens when
you reduce people to labels.
You erase their humanity
in a single stroke.
Same with numbers.
On that note, uh, I'm done.
Thanks for listening.
Okay, we need to refine it a bit.
But keep up the good work.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [ARI SIGHS]
What on earth did you do all weekend?
It's best that Samuel
thinks he can beat me.
Well, I'm pretty sure
we just saw that he can.
And if that happened, well,
I would be extremely disappointed,
to say the very least.
[ARI SIGHS DEEPLY]
- [LOCK CLICKS]
- [ARI INHALES SHARPLY, EXHALES]
[CAYETANA AND PHILLIPE CHATTERING]
You! Where were you Friday afternoon?
- Excuse me?
- Mm [SCOFFS]
[ARI] I said, "Where were
you Friday afternoon?"
Wow. Envy really isn't a
good look on you, Ivanka.
Isn't it enough for you to be
fought over by two guys already?
- I was with her.
- From what time to what time?
I don't know off the top of my head.
[CHUCKLES] Um, yeah.
Why the inquisition?
My sister had bruises on her body.
- "What time period?" I asked you.
- I have no idea.
He just told you we were together.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, just in case,
don't go near Mencía.
Are we clear? Not at all.
No idea. Who knows what that was.
[CAYETANA TYPING]
PHILLIPE VON TRIESENBERG ABUSE
[MOUSE CLICKS]
NO RESULTS FOUND FOR YOUR SEARCH
[CAYETANA SIGHS]
[SIGHS] Ari, you shouldn't
make false accusations.
[ARI] I have my reasons.
Oh, well, if you're so
sure he did that to her,
why don't you report him, then?
That's precisely why, Cayetana.
'Cause I don't have real evidence yet.
And I don't normally
report people without it.
- That's the kind of girl I am.
- [CAYETANA] Hmm.
Well, the girl from his country
didn't have evidence,
so I guess the both of you
must be the same kind of girls.
[ARI] Honey.
Look, I totally get that you're
really into Phillipe and all,
and I never for a moment said
he doesn't like you back.
[CAYETANA SCOFFS]
- [ARI] The thing is, it's not the same.
- [CAYETANA SIGHS]
Because you always expected
a no from a guy like that,
while he expected a yes.
People like Phillipe don't
understand the concept of no.
I'm sticking my nose in
someone else's business,
but if I were you, I wouldn't
wait to have proof with him.
Maybe once you have
proof, it'll be too late.
If there's one thing you
and I have in common,
it's that we're both women, honey.
And if women don't lend
each other a hand, who will?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[CAYETANA TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
I understand that, right
now, you're mad at me.
I just wanted to say I'm
here for you if you need it,
if you want.
Nobody forced anyone.
You don't need my forgiveness.
Yeah, but I'm just
I'm sorry about what I
said and how I told you,
so forgive me for that.
[SIGHS] Okay.
If you need me to forgive
you for something,
then sure, I forgive you.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] Cool.
Uh, thanks.
[SIGHS]
Ander
just a reminder, you spent a
whole year tied to a machine,
doing chemo.
No one should make you feel like
you have to beg or feel guilty
or ask permission.
[ANDER CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
OMAR, I NEED TO SEE YOU.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [BIRDS SINGING]
- [OMAR] What's the matter now?
[ANDER SIGHS]
Without you, I wouldn't
have survived cancer.
What you did was incredible, and, um
I won't ever forget it, but
No, don't say it.
Omar
maybe the cancer took its toll on us.
Please, no.
Not on me, no.
[BREATHING SHAKILY] I mean, okay, yes,
I've been in a fucking mental
fog, but I'm not anymore.
When I thought about losing
you, I Listen, uh
I only love you, Ander.
Listen, though.
I'm not talkin' about Patrick now.
I'm talking about me. I thought
I'd die, but here I am somehow.
I mean, I just wanna live.
There's a ton of things
I still have to do. A ton.
[OMAR SIGHS] But
you can do them with me.
[ANDER TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
[CRYING SOFTLY] It's me, dude.
It's Omar.
It's me.
- I know. I know.
- Omar.
And you have to keep being Omar.
[HESITATES] But that's why I'm
thinking it's best we end this here
because I don't want this to
become something else entirely.
- [OMAR CONTINUES SOBBING QUIETLY]
- [ANDER TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
- [OMAR SNIFFLES]
- Thank you.
Thank you, Omar.
From the bottom of my heart.
And I'm sorry too. I really am.
- [OMAR CONTINUES CRYING]
- [MUSIC SWELLS]
I was thinkin' of taking
you out to dinner tonight,
so you can clear your head a bit.
You sidetracked me last weekend already.
Rather be at the library
with him on Saturday?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Come to dinner at my place.
We can hang out together a while.
With your dad?
Not what I had in mind, to be honest.
[SAMU] Yeah, but after that,
everything goes smoothly.
[BENJAMÍN] Hmm.
Ari, García's gonna be coming over.
That way, I can go over
both of your arguments.
- How's it goin'?
- All good, thanks.
I'm goin' to your place for dinner.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
SHARE MY LOCATION
DID YOU BLOCK ME?
- [MENCÍA SIGHS]
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
What's the matter?
Armando.
Wait, what?
What the fuck does that asshole
want? We're calling the police now.
Hey, hold up. Want my
family knowing about it?
Oh, so you care about your family now?
I mean, yeah, my family
and the entire school
and kinda the whole world.
Just relax, okay?
It's all good.
I can handle this guy.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Do you know that, until the age
of three, all I ate was chocolate?
Oh, really?
Psst, hey!
Some dumbass guy sure as
hell isn't gonna spoil our
[IN SPANISH ACCENT] chocolate party.
- [REBE SCOFFS]
- [MENCÍA LAUGHS]
["NEEDED" PLAYING]
[MENCÍA CHUCKLES]
No, Mencía, I said
- [MENCÍA LAUGHS]
- [BOWL CLATTERS]
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
You know I just can't help myself.

- [GUZMÁN] Thanks.
- [BENJAMÍN] Samuel?
No, I don't want any, thanks. Gotta
stay sharp for tomorrow's debate.
["PARADISE LOST" PLAYING
OVER SOUND SYSTEM]
[GUZMÁN] Hmm.
[SAMU SIGHS]
The winner's going to the
European debate competition,
where they'll have to present but
have to do it in French, right?
Hmm. Well, yes.
What would you do?
Don't you speak French?
I have a decent grasp of it.
- Yeah, for a local yokel, maybe.
- [PATRICK CHUCKLES]
What?
But don't worry.
Because since Ari's gonna win,
that won't be a problem, right?
You know, you should thank him, Samuel.
Why?
Because people like us rise to the
challenge when we're questioned.
I'm sorry. People like you?
Yeah, people who studied on scholarship.
Ah, right.
And haven't been as fortunate
as the three of you here.
[GUZMÁN MUNCHING]
[SAMU CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
I'm the one who's competing
with Samuel, Guzmán, not you.
- Me?
- Yeah.
I wasn't. I'm not worried.
I don't see you spending
Christmas with his family
in some shithole in Morocco.
- What?
- [GUZMÁN] Yeah.
His brother ran off there.
His mom went as well.
I was told he'd been exonerated, though.
More like he didn't
wait to get the verdict.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
So you're saying his brother fled
the country while on probation?
Just so you know the gem of
a brother-in-law you'd have.
- [CHUCKLES]
- [GUZMÁN] See you tomorrow.
[BICYCLE TIRES CLACKING]
[ARMANDO] Mencía!
- What are you doing here?
- I'm trying to have a conversation.
- [MENCÍA] You're following me.
- I saw your Instagram.
Mencía, please.
I just wanted to apologize.
What for?
I found out what happened
and I'm sorry.
- [MENCÍA SIGHS]
- Son of a bitch is done.
He can forget about his career and
basically everything. [GRUNTS]
- [MENCÍA SIGHS]
- Can I drive you home?
I gave it up.
Maybe you should get a new cell phone.
- Why?
- Doesn't that guy have your number?
Yeah, but I mean, I blocked him, so
Yeah, but he might give it to someone
else, harass you, whatever.
[SIGHS] Right. I hadn't thought of that.
Well, thanks.
- Where are we?
- [PARKING BRAKE CLICKS]
It'd be nice for us to have a
drink before heading home.
No, uh, I don't think my
girlfriend would think
that's a very good idea.
I'm sorry.
All right, but at least let me
take you home Mencía.
Mencía, please.
- Mencía.
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[MENCÍA SIGHS]
I'll take you home. I will.
- [EXCITED CHATTER]
- [WOMAN EXHALES]
[CAR ENGINE STARTS]
- [SAMU SIGHS]
- [DOORBELL RINGS]
Hey.
[SIGHS] I'm here to get all my stuff.
Right. Yeah, Omar let me know.
Do you want me to help you out?
No, I can do it alone.
Okay.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [BIRDS SINGING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[ENGINE STOPS]
[GENTLE MUSIC BUILDING]
[AZUCENA KISSES]
[AZUCENA] Wanna check to
see if everything's there?
Nothing's missing?
[OMAR SIGHS, SOBS SOFTLY]
[ANDER BREATHING SHAKILY]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[DOOR OPENS]
[SAMU] You okay?
[ANDER CONTINUES PANTING]
[VOICE BREAKING] It's just that
No, no, this can't be real.
I mean, okay, yeah, it's
true I had doubts about it,
but I don't anymore.
I know what I want now.
[SNIFFLES] I can't believe
this hurts so much.
And if it hurts this much, it's
because I really love him, isn't it?
This is the worst part.
[ANDER CONTINUES BREATHING HEAVILY]
[WEAKLY] I can't breathe.
[AZUCENA] You think that knot in
your stomach will never go away.
[ANDER CONTINUES BREATHING SHAKILY]
[AZUCENA] But one day,
the knot starts to loosen up,
and it hurts less and less
until you suddenly realize that
[ANDER CRYING SOFTLY]
you haven't thought
about him all day.
You can't even remember
why it once hurt so much.
But there's no way I can forget him.
[SNIFFLES] I can't, and I don't want to.
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
Shit, I mean, it's Ander.
It's Ander.
- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
- [CROWD CHATTERING ON PHONE]
[MENCÍA CLICKS TONGUE]
Oh, yeah. He came looking for me.
Why the fuck did you tell me
you quit and then lie to me?
- [MENCÍA] He came to apologize to me.
- Yeah.
Look, this video shows
your mother's POV.
But what do you see?
'Cause it seems like you only
see what you wanna see.
Haven't you asked yourself why
your mother knows this guy?
Why he might've been at
the door of her place? No.
Because all you see is I'm lying to you.
What the fuck are you tryin'
to say about my mother?
Your mother saw us
together for the first time
when the two of us went to her spot.
We went there to have a drink and, um
also, so your mom could
sell him some coke.
[QUIETLY] No. No, no way.
That's impossible.
- My mother quit that for me.
- No, Rebe. I quit that shit for you.
I quit for you, and you
still trust your mother,
who, ironically, is the only
one here who's lying.
[REBE GASPS]
- [DOOR SLAMS LOUDLY]
- [MENCÍA HUFFS]
[SHOWERS RUNNING]
Patrick.
Yeah?
Uh
why don't we skip classes
today and go out somewhere?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] How come?
Don't know. I wanna treat myself.
Plus, they're having that
freakin' debate thing.
They won't notice we're gone.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] Okay. What
sort of plan do you have in mind?
[ANDER TAKES A DEEP BREATH] Hmm.
Was hoping you'd come up with it.
[PATRICK SCOFFS]
["BURN (MATADOR REMIX)" PLAYING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [OMAR] Mencía, have you seen Ander?
- Sorry.
- Have you seen Rebe?
- [OMAR] No.
[MENCÍA SIGHS DEEPLY]
[LINE RINGING]
[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]
[PATRICK] FYI, I'm ditching class.
I'm throwing a thing at the house,
so cover for me. Pretty please?
- [PHONE CHIMES]
- Fine.
I'll text when the debate's over.
Listen, don't trash
the house, all right?
Don't wanna invoke
the wrath of Benjamín.
Okay, love you.

[GUY 1] Hey.

That's the spirit.
[GUY 2] Hey, what's goin' on?

[PATRICK AND ANDER PANTING]
[MUSIC BUILDS]
- [SPITS]
- [PATRICK EXHALES]
[GRUNTS, PANTING]
[BENJAMÍN] Well said, Samuel. Thank you.
Ariadna, when you're ready.
- Thank you kindly.
- [REMOTE BEEPS]
Reentry depends on the
prisoner's willpower,
not on institutions.
Some may say, after jail,
they have been conditioned
to relapse into criminal behavior.
But maybe change isn't what they
want, or change isn't possible.
Recidivism rates speak for themselves,
not to mention concrete examples.
On this matter, I'm sure my
opponent is intimately familiar
with the case of a man accused
of murder only two years ago.
And the accused spent
several long weeks in jail,
then decided to flee while on probation,
thus breaking the law and
adding to his previous offenses.
My opponent is familiar
with this case
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
because that man is his brother.
[STUDENTS MURMURING]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [GUY 1] Why did she say that?
- [QUIETLY] Why'd you use that?
It's best to put a name to
the data. Simple as that.
Mentioning my brother is
completely inappropriate.
His case is well known to
everyone at the school.
I don't think I'm revealing
any state secrets here.
I'm sorry, Samuel, but
I think Ariadna's right.
- [ARI] Samuel's brother
- [POUNDS PODIUM]
- [FEEDBACK SQUEALS]
- [STUDENTS GASP]
[MURMURING]
- [BENJAMÍN] Samuel. Samuel!
- [GUY 2] He'll come back.
[PAPERS RUSTLING]
[BENJAMÍN SIGHS]
- What's with the childish tantrum?
- Maybe we're not that similar.
I'm over being questioned every day!
This is how you live your life?
You wallow in misfortune
and use it as an excuse
to stay stuck in the exact same place.
Don't give me another Jedi master
speech, 'cause I'm over it.
No, you wanna hear from the Jedi
master? You're gonna love this one.
[BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
Know why I have so much
respect for the art of debate?
Because like all other arts,
it represents life itself.
And you can load up on
arguments and reasons.
You can
[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
prepare to the point of exhaustion.
You can feel superior
and indestructible.
But without fail,
something unexpected
comes up without warning
and can shatter your protective armor.
Without fail.
And that is when you
discover how weak you are.
When you realize everything
you thought about yourself,
that everything you had prepared
is absolutely useless.
[BRIGHT MUSIC SWELLS]
[THUDS, DISTORTED]
- I was looking for you.
- Oh, hi.
Uh, wanna come sleep
over at my place tonight?
Um
Sure. Yeah, okay.
So you can either run
away, playing the victim
and hiding behind a series of
excuses that aren't even yours,
like that thing with your brother
or you can choose to rise up
and fight to bring out what
you would like to become.
[SIGHS]
Let me know what you decide.

And then poor Samuel just walks out,
right in the middle of the debate.
- [CAYETANA SIGHS]
- Ari didn't know what to do.
- She was stunned.
- [CAYETANA] Hmm.
Um, any chance you're hungry?
- Yeah, a little, yeah.
- Yeah?
I'll see if they can make something.
We can have it here.
- Okay? Okay.
- Okay.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
[EXHALES]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[TRACKPAD CLICKS]
[CAYETANA SIGHS]
Oh, I have to grab my cell pho
What are you doing?
Nothing. I just wanted
to put on some music.
I thought we would trust each other.
Sorry. Sorry. I'm so sorry.
I don't know. [SIGHS]
Ari's been doing a number
on me all day, and I just
Yeah, but Ari has no idea
where I was on Friday.
- [CAYETANA] I know.
- You do 'cause I was with you.
- Wasn't I? Don't you get it?
- It's just Please, I'm sorry.
You have so little self-esteem
that you can't understand how
someone like me would be with you.
And you look for any excuse to
ruin a good thing all the time.
[CAYETANA GASPS]
Will you always remind me
of my station? [SIGHS]
Looking for flaws under
some kind of microscope.
Closer and closer each time
till you no longer see me.
- You're wrong. I do see you.
- No.
Okay? I see you, and I like you.
I like you so much it hurts me.
I I'm not like those
girls from before.
[PHILLIPE SIGHS]
I'll go tell the driver
to come pick you up.
[SIGHS] If you want, you can
check that I deleted your video.
[SCOFFS] Snoop around
as much as you like.
- [GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [CAYETANA BREATHING SHAKILY]
Honey? Can you not hear me? I've
been hollering at you forever now.
- [PATRICK] Are you alone?
- Oh, shit.
The house stinks of testosterone.
[CHUCKLES]
- [PATRICK] Does it really?
- No. [LAUGHS]
Thank you.
What's this?
Don't know. It came
while we were partying.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
A NEW NUMBER SO YOU CAN STAR
FROM SCRATCH. BIG KISS, ARMANDO.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]
I RAN AWAY FROM HOME.
[GUZMÁN] I didn't tell you about
Nano so you'd use it against him.
And, Ari, that whole
winning-at-any-cost thing?
- It wasn't cool.
- Well, you're the one to talk.
I'm not the only one who's obsessed
with competing with Samuel.
No one would ever guess you're friends.
Well, we are. Seriously.
Samuel's a cool guy.
He's the best thing I've gotten out
of these past two shitty years.
And it's true that when he got here,
yeah, I looked down on him.
But look, the guy had
everything against him,
and he's beaten the odds every time.
But be real. You still look
down on him a little.
Not anymore, honestly.
In fact, that's why he
makes me so jealous.
And maybe, well, he makes
me scared I might lose you.
You're scared of losing me?
I mean, okay, not like
scared scared or terrified.
A little scared. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
What?
What?
Do you like that I'm
scared of losing you?
I like that you're not
afraid to say that.
- [TENSE MUSIC BUILDS]
- [FIREWORKS POPPING]
[GUY BREATHING SHAKILY]
[ARI ON RECORDING] I don't
know what came over me
or what I was thinking.
I'll meet you in half an hour
at the pier on the lake.
Please come and hear me out.

[ARI TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
Prisoner reentry is just a utopian
ideal. Experience has proven it.
It all depends on the
prisoner's will and choices,
not on institutions.
I'd like to point out,
we are the country with the
biggest percentage of prisoners
- Not the most crime. They're not related.
- Whoa.
This isn't casual barroom banter.
Wait your turn to respond, and
please don't raise your voice again.
We're the highest in all of Europe.
A hundred and twenty-six prisoners
for every 100,000 citizens.
And that, Samuel, is a fact.
A hundred twenty-six prisoners
with 126 families,
friends, and loved ones.
Prisoners have people close to
them. You've thought about that?
[SCOFFS] Of course I thought about it,
but that's not what
we're talking about
We are. It's not the kind of
thing you can just gloss over.
What's your focus?
People or numbers? What?
Numbers, so you can distance
yourself and dehumanize them.

García, being dragged into jail.
- [GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

My family and friends

ever be seen as is a felon.

you reduce people to labels.

Oh, well, if you're so

why don't you report him, then?
That's precisely why, Cayetana.
'Cause I don't have real evidence yet.
And I don't normally
report people without it.
- That's the kind of girl I am.
- [CAYETANA] Hmm.
Well, the girl from his country

Reentry depends on the
prisoner's willpower,
not on institutions.
Some may say, after jail,
they have been conditioned
to relapse into criminal behavior.
But maybe change isn't what they
want, or change isn't possible.
Recidivism rates speak for themselves,
not to mention concrete examples.
On this matter, I'm sure my
opponent is intimately familiar
with the case of a man accused
of murder only two years ago.
And the accused spent
several long weeks in jail,
then decided to flee while on probation,
thus breaking the law and
adding to his previous offenses.

with this case
