:09:03
I'm scared.
:09:09
Trust me.
:09:31
I think I should explain...
:09:33
...there are certain criteria that must be
met before we can grant asylum.
:09:38
An individual must prove
that he is unable to return...
:09:41
...to his homeland for fear of persecution.
:09:44
I understand. That's why I'm here.
:09:47
You've been touring
with Mr. Gillespie's United Nation band.
:09:51
-Are you here with your family?
-No.
:09:54
My wife and son
are waiting for me in London.
:09:57
-You're seeking asylum for them as well?
-Yes.
:10:03
Is there a problem?
:10:06
I just need some information.
:10:09
Okay.
:10:12
So, you've been a musician
for how many years?
:10:16
Since I was six years old.
:10:20
I taught my cat how to walk on a tight rope
while I played the bongos.
:10:25
It was like an animal act.
:10:29
And you were educated at
a government-run music school?
:10:32
Yes.
:10:33
You were classically trained?
:10:36
Yes.
:10:38
It says you were a member
of the Cuban Music Academy.
:10:44
Is that right?
:10:47
Yes.
:10:48
Is that a state-sponsored organization?
:10:51
Yes.
:10:53
Your first professional job....
What is that? "Orquesta--"
:10:57
Cuban Modern Music Orchestra.
