Always. Those are some serious words. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.840 Be careful who you talk to about, Mr Gandhi, and 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.800 don't get any big ideas. Why not I want big ideas. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.400 I want something better for myself when I grow up. 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.319 What do you mean you want something better?

Patria, she wants to become a nun. You 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:29.320 should consider that too, fine, then I'll be like Santa. 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.920 She wrote about women's liberty. She says that the world 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.240 has us cornered into the system that oppresses and controls us. 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:40.640 Don't you want your daughters to be free, and of 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:45.360 course he did don't and Cricket did allow Mommy Patrian 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:51.320 did it to attend the prestigious private school called collect Conception, 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:56.920 although he worried all the time for their safety.

Many people in the country loved him and 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.120 thought he was a great leader, and some even prospered 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:34.800 under his rule, or at least at first. But deep 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:42.880 down he really wanted control, especially over women, and the 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:56.000 Midrabal family saw this first hand.

You know after the 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:32.040 play through you asked to visit Lena backstage and no 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:37.679 one ever saw her again. Well where did she go 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:43.120 to one of his secret hideouts where he kept girls 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:47.840 like her apart from everyone? Wasn't she too young to 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:52.600 be angel? No? No, not like black Guarina. It was 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:59.320 a little different than a prison. Yah. Yeah, you know, 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:03.240 maybe you are still too young for the story. Please? 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:10.000 How can I put this? What happened to Lena also 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:14.439 happened to many other beautiful and smart school girls in 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:18.000 the country. They had all been brought up to Revere 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:27.160 Trito and they became his possessions. Oh so came back, 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:33.480 that's right. After Lena disappeared, Mammy started to see who 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:37.080 this man really was, and her anger grew as she 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:41.560 became older. But it would be a while before anyone 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:47.440 took action to stop these crimes. Mostly, the nineties were 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:51.359 pretty good to les. Mirable Dia Patria got married to 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:57.720 Pedro Gonzalez and the other day married him Fernandez. Maria 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:02.040 Theresa continued her studies. The family lived in relative peace 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:08.639 for a while. Still, Mommy was becoming more outspoken about 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:14.919 religious regime, and one afternoon, nearly ten years after Man 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:25.920 of us first encounter with the dictator, things started to change. Matty, 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:28.479 be careful on that bike. You're going to run right 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:35.879 into my bed of roses. Sorry, Mommy, they look so beautiful. Enrique, 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:42.320 who is this? Are you expecting someone? I do not 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:48.240 worry chair.

Consider yourself one of the 0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:15.400 lucky ones. Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, that's too fast. 0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:20.040 It was all part of an elaborate game. As Themia 0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:23.680 spun her, she lost her balance and landed in the 0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:33.320 cold arms of Tijo. Oh my god, hell sneat ditch 0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:37.840 dance with him. She had no choice. There he was 0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:43.440 with a gray, imposing mustache and menacing dark eyes, thinking 0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:48.440 he was untouchable, believing he was God's gift to men 0:31:48.520 --> 0:31:56.440 and women, God's gift to scare you. Finally, I get 0:31:56.440 --> 0:32:00.280 you along without your family all around you. You are 0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:05.040 a good dancer too.
