I took cab from JFK. I'm in Astoria going to his house. And then I see my uncle's wife. She's American, not Albanian, American born. And Patricia, she said, welcome. She's asking me, I did a few words, where's your uncle? I said, I don't see my uncle. Then she paged him, that time there was no cell phones, and then my uncle responds, said, where are you? I said, I'm in your apartment.

He used to come always from here in my country. Okay. He became a U.S. citizen, and he had no problem to come to visit us. And you didn't trust him? I didn't trust him because I was fearing if I get arrested, then I will put him in trouble. Gotcha. So I was trying to save him. Gotcha. You know how it's a loss. If he knows I'm coming with a fake passport, different name, he can get in trouble.
