00:00:18.309 --> 00:00:23.273
This series is based on real life stories
occurred in Chile during the civil-military dictatorship
00:00:23.273 --> 00:00:29.696
supported in the Rettig report, in judicial documents
and in the testimonies of relatives of Disappeared Detainees.
00:00:29.696 --> 00:00:34.492
Based on the letter from Silvia Vera to her husband Alfredo García,
arrested and disappeared on January 18, 1975.
00:00:36.077 --> 00:00:37.078
Dear Alfredo,
00:00:37.704 --> 00:00:39.372
this time without you
I\'ve noticed that
00:00:39.372 --> 00:00:41.374
there are days that
I easily forget
00:00:41.708 --> 00:00:43.877
and others that remain in the
memory forever.
00:00:46.671 --> 00:00:48.882
The 18 days we got
to enjoy together
00:00:48.882 --> 00:00:51.384
to our newborn son
00:00:51.384 --> 00:00:52.886
will never be erased from my mind.
00:01:11.905 --> 00:01:14.407
THE SUSPENDED MOURNING
00:01:19.871 --> 00:01:23.208
I started loking for you the day after
you didn\'t come back,
00:01:24.209 --> 00:01:26.586
I went through all of the prisons
but did not find you.
00:01:28.004 --> 00:01:30.882
Where were you?
Where did you go?
00:01:30.882 --> 00:01:32.675
Where did they take you?
00:01:34.677 --> 00:01:37.597
It was in your search how
I ended up knowing Pepe,
00:01:37.597 --> 00:01:38.890
a journalist of the MIR,
00:01:38.890 --> 00:01:41.893
He had also lost to his partner
in hands of the DINA.
00:01:44.896 --> 00:01:47.398
He was arrested
no charges against him
00:01:47.398 --> 00:01:49.776
but had no idea when
he was going to come out,
00:01:49.901 --> 00:01:52.904
and I kept looking for you,
next to Alfredito.
00:01:54.572 --> 00:01:57.909
We became close,
we support each other
00:01:58.910 --> 00:02:01.871
until one day he asked me
to be his partner but me,
00:02:01.871 --> 00:02:03.873
I still loved you.
00:02:05.875 --> 00:02:08.878
However, something made me believe in him
and accept his proposal,
00:02:10.880 --> 00:02:15.093
it was all so confusing and
I did not stop thinking about you.
00:02:18.388 --> 00:02:19.889
In November of 76
00:02:19.889 --> 00:02:22.600
Pinochet freed, due
to international pressures,
00:02:22.600 --> 00:02:25.603
Pepe and other political prisoners
That were without conviction.
00:02:26.271 --> 00:02:27.897
For me it was a terrible feeling,
00:02:27.897 --> 00:02:30.400
I was happy that they freed Pepe
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.402
but I imagined that you came out.
00:02:32.902 --> 00:02:35.905
I dreamed of seeing you in
your green jacket, your pretty face.
00:02:36.906 --> 00:02:39.200
It hurt my soul
every time your mom told me
00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:41.911
I was doing something that you
would never forgive me,
00:02:42.704 --> 00:02:45.373
but I swear to you every night
I was thinking about you.
00:02:47.375 --> 00:02:50.587
Over time I realized
that I needed Pepe,
00:02:50.587 --> 00:02:53.882
I started to see it well,
his shirt, his hair,
00:02:53.882 --> 00:02:58.678
the smell of his skin, but above all
the love and support for my Alfredito,
00:02:58.678 --> 00:03:00.680
to our Alfredito.
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.392
I also became supportive
for his children and I wanted that.
00:03:04.893 --> 00:03:07.395
I needed to know that someone
was next to me
00:03:07.770 --> 00:03:09.898
and Pepe was there,
He was always there.
00:03:11.608 --> 00:03:15.904
We continue together for 10 years and
the link we generated was so strong
00:03:15.904 --> 00:03:20.200
that every time he was 5 minutes late
I was beginning to think the worst.
00:03:21.075 --> 00:03:23.912
Until one day that fear
became a reality.
00:03:25.872 --> 00:03:29.709
Within a few days of taking him in detention,
Pepe was found
00:03:29.709 --> 00:03:33.379
thrown in a landfill
with 13 shots in the head.
00:03:34.088 --> 00:03:35.298
Why again?
00:03:39.010 --> 00:03:40.094
Dear Alfredo,
00:03:40.678 --> 00:03:46.392
I have not seen you again for 26 years
but today I come to give you good news
00:03:46.392 --> 00:03:50.480
our Alfredito is going to be a dad
of a little girl,
00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:53.399
that means, you are going to be
a grandfather.
00:03:53.483 --> 00:03:59.906
As you can see, despite everything
They did not manage to make you disappear.
00:04:17.173 --> 00:04:19.384
Alfredo García, 30 years old
00:04:19.384 --> 00:04:21.386

00:04:21.386 --> 00:04:22.971
