WEBVTT - La 40

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey, podcast listeners, just a heads up. This episode contained

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 1>some intense material, including references to severe violence, some of

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>which might not be appropriate for children. Please take care

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>while listening. From executive producers Daniel Ramidez and myself Eva Longoria,

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>The Sisters of the Underground tells the powerful story of

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the middle of our sisters, real life Latina's who sacrificed

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>everything for the fight for freedom. In nineteen fifty nine,

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>an expedition of fifty four armed men who had been

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>trained in Kuba landed in the mountains of Constanza Whey

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>to fight alongside Mommy and Poppy against the regime. But

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>they never got the chance. Before they could even get

0:00:56.200 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>off the plane through He's men who were on them, Kanyo,

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>our military is on our left. Prepare your were button

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and if I stop, we're done for soldiers. You gotta

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 1>jump on hunt. If you still turn cop it, we'll

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>divide into fruit support. Let's move go golf, golf, follow

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 1>for the hills. Everyone got almost everyone escaped into the mountains,

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>though barely only four combatants were caught, but the military

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>knew that there were others, and through heat you order

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a systematic hunt in that area. Commanding his men to

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>leave no one alive. They even dropped bombs in the area.

0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Constanza was turned into an apocalyptic sea God. Residents were

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>promised money in exchange for revealing the locations of any

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Garia fighter, and at this time the regime was primed

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>to anticipate any move by the revolutionaries. Five days after

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:26.239
<v Speaker 1>this first attempt, another expedition arrived by sea. This group

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>was practically annihilated to just before landing in my Mond

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>yesterday own their boats were sunk by Trudo's air force.

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>One hundred and forty four members of the expeditionary force

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>were killed. It was a devastating loss for the opposition,

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>but this setback would only make other movements grow. One

0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>group that San Diego pamphleteers, rageously handed out flyers and

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>posted notices flyers. They even stage the risky event at

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the San Diego Cemetery. Hey take this, what is it?

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>A revolution? Here to read? Let me see long live

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>the revolution, down with the tyrant, freedom or death? Now

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>this side and help me share this message. Sorry for

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the expression, but through is a piece of ship. Wow,

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>you guys are brave, but I absolutely agree thr is

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>a piece of ship. Things were shaping up for us

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>and through ju he was going through a rough back.

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>He knew that he could be the next Baptista, but

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>he was not going to surrender easily. He had always

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>been paranoid, but not the paranoia was in embedded in

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the government. In seven he created his own version of

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the Gestapo. Said we shouldn't tell hinds emilita or commonising

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:17.039
<v Speaker 1>the same. It was a police and military apparatus that

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>practiced persecution, torture and murder both inside and outside the country.

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Harvis, a ruthless and cold blooded man who was

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the head of the SIM We got all of that

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>selling Santiago. It was a group of young community students.

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Here's the pamphlet that were distributing true Here is a

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>piece of ship. I think that we can call this

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>a direct provocation and threat toward governments and laws. One

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 1>came to find this as an atop treason. I say,

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>it's also a direct provocation and threat to my safety.

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:05.679
<v Speaker 1>My piece of line. Round them all up, already done.

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>They're on the way to La Guarenta. The electric chair

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>is just sitting patiently for them. Good. Make sure the

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>last words include recantation. And high prices. For they're heavy.

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 1>We would say that it's heavy. You know, the revolution

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>in Googa is struggling. More and more communists are surfacing

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>here thinking they can succeed in toppling me. We need

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:38.919
<v Speaker 1>to get Castro taking down. That would send a loud

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>message to the Vision and all the service. Taking out

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Castro will sent a signal. But we have more important

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>problems here that must be addressed. We need more men

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>in the streets. I don't care who is involved or how,

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>but we need eyes and ears all over the country.

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.919
<v Speaker 1>And let it be known. I trust no one. I

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>have no qualms about putting my own family six ft

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:09.160
<v Speaker 1>under if there is the slightest suspicion that they were

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:16.039
<v Speaker 1>acting against me, you can't throws me. I'm more than family,

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:21.119
<v Speaker 1>am I'm like a loyal dog at your service. Good

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>keep me in form, will do. Johnny As made good

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>on his promise that Santiago pamphleteers were horribly tortured, and

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven of them were executed in the capital on January.

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>But their actions under deaths were not in vain. No,

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>We're putting they made the group headed by Mommy Bobby

0:06:55.160 --> 0:07:01.479
<v Speaker 1>even more determined and five days after the executions, when

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 1>they held a meeting with all other followers at Charlie

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Bogar's think his farmhouse in moun where no one would

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>expect to find them. We are here because we will

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>fight for our people. We will no longer stand by

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and watch our country be abused and neglected. Our spirit

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 1>is so strong that no one can break it. Now

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>our movement needs a new name, though, worthy of the

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 1>spirit that we're living here. What should it be? Any

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 1>ideas I believe in was honor the fallen Curos we've

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>just lost. If it wasn't for them, many of us

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 1>would not be here. Each stride taken by a group

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 1>is a step in the right direction for the whole movement.

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Out of respect, we must use their name and their agenda.

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I agree. I agree with you. Let us be. The

0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>second order of business is to set up the chain

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>of command in the group. We need a president, a secretary,

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 1>a treasure and a spokesperson. I can be the secretary.

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.239
<v Speaker 1>It's the kind of work I've done in the past.

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I think Monolo should be president. I second death, I

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 1>mean that was the one who gathered all of us here.

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know I think that's a better handled by

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>a man. Let's look at this subjectively. Of course, we

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>never is capable of leading us, But how would it

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>make us look in front of the young recruits? Under

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.599
<v Speaker 1>whose leadership would we look more serious? A man or

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.439
<v Speaker 1>a woman. That has nothing to do with whether one

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>is a man or a woman. It has to do

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>with how well we convey our message and demonstrate our effectiveness.

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I agree with my wife on this. Okay, So how

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>about we put this to a vote. Good idea? We

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 1>never do you agree? Like I said, it doesn't matter,

0:08:52.480 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>but okay, sure, all right, And on two three four

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 1>it's eleven votes from anolo our president. Okay, well that

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>settles it. Then you're appointed Treasurer Leandro, something familiar to you,

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and you people you've already said you'd act as secretary.

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 1>What's next? Well, first and foremost, we must set our

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>goals clearly. Our main objective is the overthrow of this

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>tyrannical regime, and that calls for the liquidation of Truigo,

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>no matter what the cost. If we succeed, we must

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 1>have fair and free elections. Write that down, people be

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 1>sure to use our code names to no sooner said

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>than done, sir, and not just one election, but every

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>four years, a real democracy, got it. We need land

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 1>reform badly. I should know. I come from the East

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Side and farmers are living in very depressing conditions. Yeah,

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I agree, very good. Wait wait wait wait wait wait

0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>oh that's great talk. No no, no, but we must

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.719
<v Speaker 1>also walk the walk. I think we're getting ahead of

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>ourselves here. What about our resources? Now? We need guns

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to take down through hell and a plan for organized revolt.

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Without a sling and a stone, we can't take down

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the light. We need weapons, at least revolvers, something we're

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>not planning to go down easily. Now, you're right, he's right,

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 1>he's right. We all know where the weapons are, Julio.

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>They're in the streets with the people, and there is

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.319
<v Speaker 1>where we should go get them. They're gathering. Is considered

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 1>a milestone in the history of the country. Moving became

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:46.839
<v Speaker 1>the most successful organization fighting against the radio regime. They

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:51.079
<v Speaker 1>were able to recruit more people and amass more weapons,

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>which we're hitting in Patre's house. This garage is perfect.

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.560
<v Speaker 1>No one know who they are, what will ever suspect

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 1>what we've got here in your house is the perfect

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 1>place to hide them. Here. Let me show you underneath

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the floor. We have a secret home. We can put

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the weapons and the paperworking there. Thank you, Patria. I

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.199
<v Speaker 1>know it's risky for you, but we really do need

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 1>a place. I'm here for you always. We must have

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>each other's backs. Math do you have the Christol guns?

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 1>They're lighter, easier for people with training. No, not yet.

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Leandrew is going to get them soon. But I do

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 1>have three revolvers and a couple of Malta bombs. Let's

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>put them all in here. Careful with them, allot dogs,

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>they're unstable here here, I'll go inside and you can

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:47.199
<v Speaker 1>hand them down to me. But going against true hire

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>you was that? Can't you on task? Johnny Avis kept

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>his promise to will have it to fill the streets

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 1>with informants. There were government rats non as Scotties went

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 1>under cover everywhere and reported anybody who opposed the government.

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Once Mommy and her team tried to enlist a very

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 1>influential shaman and even he immediately reported them to the

0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:21.960
<v Speaker 1>sin That day on an official huntdown began, and it

0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>was only a matter of time before they would get

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 1>to our family. Nobody moved an immediately don't shoot, Please,

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>don't shoot. My family is here. I don't want any

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.959
<v Speaker 1>harm down to them. Just take me in. Where are

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you taking? Shut up? You're lucky. We're not taking you too.

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.599
<v Speaker 1>And don't you dare go anywhere you are implicated? Implicated

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 1>and what you can't just take him on a whim.

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 1>It's our right to know? Why? Am I right to

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.199
<v Speaker 1>know where he's going to work? God and getting Alyssimo

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.559

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 1>me sick. Let's go. Hey podcast listeners, just a heads up.

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.959
<v Speaker 1>This episode contained some intense material, including references to severe violence,

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>some of which might not be appropriate for children. Please

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:41.959
<v Speaker 1>take care while listening easy as this boss. Days after

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the January meeting, the political persecution hindered the daily operations

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 1>of the group, the men or the brunt of the

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 1>imprisonments and interrogations. Mommy stayed back home on their constant

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:03.439
<v Speaker 1>surveillance by the sim detention and anxiety were so intense

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 1>that she felt ill. How do you know? I know

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.719
<v Speaker 1>it because she wrote a letter to chair and we

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 1>actually still have it in that box with all the others.

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I see it, see Guidado. It's very delicate, like memories. Mommy.

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Some short time ago, I asked you to borrow money

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 1>from Mahia or from a bank to be paid back

0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 1>with a gao harvest. Confided that you were not able

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 1>to get it. As you know, Manolo is detained and

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 1>has to pay his obligations to the bank. I can't

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.400
<v Speaker 1>default on that. Please, I beg you to send me

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>three and fifty vessels. Thank you, Love you all, Minerva.

0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 1>The money situation was badding off. What we never didn't

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 1>want was the family to know that she was very sick.

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Exhaustion fear from man all safety had brought on too berculosis.

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 1>What's too bad colossis to Berculosis is a sickness in

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 1>your lungs, as if you were drowning. And so because

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 1>of this we went to to No's house to rest.

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Leaving her own home was very difficult, and it wasn't

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 1>long before the agents from sim We're hot knocking onto Nostre.

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't there that day, and I remember it as

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 1>if we were only yesterday. Are you all right, mommy,

0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.760
<v Speaker 1>And you feel so cold. I used to lie next

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 1>to her in bed to keep her company, to keep

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 1>her warm. I'm finding I'll be fine soon. I'm just tired.

0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm worried about your poppy, and we have so much

0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to do. Are you expecting someone? I'll go and see

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:09.200
<v Speaker 1>who it is. Open up? You got two minutes to

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>come out or we're breaking down the door all out?

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 1>How can I help you? We're here looking for Mrs Yes,

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 1>she is here, but she is very ill. We don't care.

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.600
<v Speaker 1>We have orders to take her to see that through Hillo.

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.800
<v Speaker 1>You cannot take her in this state. Can I talk

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to your superior officer please? My superior is at f

0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and he wants me Nerva. Now are you gonna let

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>me in or not? Yes? Yes, all right? You can

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 1>see for yourselves. Do you see Mrs Mirabile? Get dressed quickly.

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.280
<v Speaker 1>We have orders to take you to the capital city. No,

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>my mother is sick. That child is right. It's a

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.840
<v Speaker 1>really bad idea to take her in this condition. Those

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 1>are orders. Let me accompany her at the very least.

0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 1>No no, no, no, no no no. Don't ask for

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 1>more favors. If they must take me then let them.

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to owe them or you anything anymore.

0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Are you okay? See me more? I cried a lot

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:25.439
<v Speaker 1>when that happened, and I could not believe that they

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 1>were dragging my mother out of burying her condition. Thank

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:40.320
<v Speaker 1>goodness for donal Hady. I really understood my mother's plight

0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:46.440
<v Speaker 1>and the struggle that she was involved in. I was

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:58.760
<v Speaker 1>never the same. Tru was on a witch hunt. Bobby

0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:04.920

<v Speaker 1>The calliers took over my house and destroyed everything looking

0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:38.879
<v Speaker 1>for weapons, and now they're following me everywhere I go.

0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to do. I haven't heard from

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Pedrito Rio. You have to stay over my house with

<v Speaker 1>the kids, all right? Today, Come on, masses starting, let's

0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:56.920
<v Speaker 1>take her seats and pray for their safety. For many years,

0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 1>our government has stripped away essential free ms, freedoms that

0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:04.639
<v Speaker 1>could only flourish when laws are in place to ensure

0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:09.200
<v Speaker 1>the respect and dignity of all. Today we gather here

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:11.920
<v Speaker 1>to call for the rights of every human being in

0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 1>our country. The Church had produced a historic letter denouncing

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:21.359
<v Speaker 1>the abuse of the dictatorship. It didn't take long for

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 1>tid to deport prespect to Spain and to attack the

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:30.240
<v Speaker 1>local ones. Join us as we pray to our Holy

0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 1>VI for the victims who have unjustly departed and those

0:24:35.840 --> 0:25:02.480
<v Speaker 1>who are awaiting trial. Did you sleep at all? Nothing? No,

<v Speaker 1>take me right in front of you? They can, that's right? Wait? Wait?

0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Can you bring me the paper? Any news? Please? I'll

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:30.159
<v Speaker 1>give you money when I leave. Leave. What makes you

0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 1>think you'll be living here alive? Poor fab That food

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 1>smells revolting? What is it? I don't know, but I'm sorry.

0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know. I don't think I can eat that.

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm gonna be sick. Stay strong, sister. If

0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 1>we don't eat, we'll die, and we need to stay

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:55.840
<v Speaker 1>alive to keep fighting. I know I need to see

0:25:55.840 --> 0:26:01.440
<v Speaker 1>my dabydro again here I haven't Dear, help me with

0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 1>this bucket handle? What are you doing using it as

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 1>a pen to keep track of how many days have

0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 1>gone by? If we don't keep track of time, it

0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:18.159
<v Speaker 1>dissolves and we'll go crazy. Day one, the days crawled

0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:23.960
<v Speaker 1>by each field with darkness, the screens of other prisoners,

0:26:24.800 --> 0:26:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and the unmistakable smell of death. Come with me, don't

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:37.600
<v Speaker 1>hurt her. It's okay, it's okay. Please just promise me

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:50.760

<v Speaker 1>a colosseum like the ancient Romans, where his special friend

0:27:00.680 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and even his family were invited to watch interrogations. Habits

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:12.920

<v Speaker 1>in the land of our benefactor b But to hear

0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:25.360
<v Speaker 1>you heavy, would you like to take a closer look.

0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Even in this state, she still looks good. All she

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:34.359
<v Speaker 1>needed is an aggressive man to dominate her. Weak men

0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:38.399
<v Speaker 1>always think that. And who are you? Some new l

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:43.280

<v Speaker 1>lived up to your name. Don't worry. I'll take care

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 1>of her. Oh, I see you're going to torture me too.

0:27:56.680 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Now to entertain your friend here, I'll talk to the

0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 1>virgin Mary if I had to, I doubt you Grace,

0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:11.080
<v Speaker 1>a murderer like you with her presence. H you think

0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:17.880
<v Speaker 1>this is a joke? Huh? Who were the others who

0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:21.919
<v Speaker 1>help you recruit members in your region? Your husband wouldn't

0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:24.160
<v Speaker 1>tell us, and you see what it had cost him.

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:29.200
<v Speaker 1>You know who I am, and you know what I want?

0:28:29.440 --> 0:28:34.199
