After all these years, Rodriguez praised his coworkers and said he was thankful for them. Then, he accepted full responsibility for his actions and said:

At the end of the video address, Carlos said:
“I hope you guys remember me for all the things. I hope that is my legacy. The good things, and just know that I’m very grateful for all of you. Okay? I’ll see you around, and remember, we’re Samurai. We thrive, not because we win, but because we always get back up.”
