00:00:07.424 --> 00:00:12.387
This series is based on real life stories
occurred in Chile during the civil-military dictatorship
00:00:12.387 --> 00:00:18.309
supported in the Rettig report, in judicial documents
and in the testimonies of relatives of Disappeared Detainees.
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:20.520
Shit
00:00:21.521 --> 00:00:24.524
Alan Bruce was my father\'s name,
same as me.
00:00:27.610 --> 00:00:29.487
But the day of his arrest
he changed his name
00:00:29.487 --> 00:00:32.115
to protect the leader
of his political movement.
00:00:32.699 --> 00:00:34.993
And he saw that it was not so dangerous
Miguel Henríquez.
00:00:36.202 --> 00:00:38.496
He was received by the head of
torture center,
00:00:38.496 --> 00:00:42.125
Marcelo Moren Brito,
whom he knew perfectly.
00:00:42.625 --> 00:00:45.295
Leave immediately from here
the two of you fuckers
00:00:45.503 --> 00:00:47.964
This fucerker is not Miguel Henríquez
00:00:47.964 --> 00:00:49.507
Moren Brito was my father\'s cousin
00:00:49.507 --> 00:00:50.508
But boss
00:00:50.508 --> 00:00:51.801
Get out of here mother fucker
00:00:51.801 --> 00:00:53.803
My grandparents had welcomed
Moren Brito during
00:00:53.803 --> 00:00:55.889
all your studies in
the Military School,
00:00:55.889 --> 00:00:59.517
housing him for years with my father,
in the same room.
00:01:00.018 --> 00:01:02.020
Don\'t get into trouble
motherfucker
00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:04.022
If I see you here again
I kill you myself.
00:01:04.898 --> 00:01:06.816
Why does he say that he is an ass
that is not an ass
00:01:06.816 --> 00:01:08.985
shut the fuck up
let me hear
00:01:09.694 --> 00:01:11.696
Marcelo what the fuck
have you became in.
00:01:11.988 --> 00:01:13.990
Do they know in the house that you are
doing these things?
00:01:13.990 --> 00:01:15.408
that you are torturing people
you fucker.
00:01:15.408 --> 00:01:18.995
Shut up motherfucker.
This a war and you are the enemy
00:01:38.014 --> 00:01:40.016
THE SUSPENDED MOURNING
00:01:40.892 --> 00:01:42.894
The military still did not know
that my father
00:01:42.894 --> 00:01:44.521
It was from the hard faction of the MIR.
00:01:44.813 --> 00:01:45.522
I do not know what the fuck you have,
00:01:45.522 --> 00:01:47.690
but you won\'t live
to tell this twice motherfucker
00:01:49.526 --> 00:01:52.112
My father put his life at risk
to confuse the DINA
00:01:52.112 --> 00:01:55.490
and at the same time he questioned
the fearsome personality
00:01:55.490 --> 00:01:58.493
with which Moren Brito was making
respect himself by his subordinates
00:02:00.286 --> 00:02:01.287
What the fuck is going on?
00:02:02.497 --> 00:02:04.499
-Boss, do you remember this asshole?
-Yes
00:02:06.292 --> 00:02:08.294
- What\'s the name of this fucker?
-Pedro García
00:02:08.294 --> 00:02:10.797
- Louder you piece of shit!
-¡Pedro García!
00:02:10.797 --> 00:02:14.008
Pedro García, one of the
most wanted men by the DINA,
00:02:14.008 --> 00:02:16.803
it was another pseudonym of Alan Bruce,
my father.
00:02:17.095 --> 00:02:19.013
Motherfucker!
00:02:27.689 --> 00:02:30.817
To arrest my dad became an
obsession for the DINA,
00:02:31.025 --> 00:02:32.986
but especially for Moren Brito.
00:02:34.487 --> 00:02:35.488
Stand there motherfucker
00:02:35.488 --> 00:02:36.489
Stand there motherfucker
00:02:36.823 --> 00:02:41.494
On February 13, 1975, my father
was arrested for the last time.
00:02:59.512 --> 00:03:00.889
No one in my family regretted
00:03:00.889 --> 00:03:03.099
of having helped Moren Brito
when he needed it.
00:03:04.017 --> 00:03:07.520
It was the right thing,
It was what it had to be done,
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.023
It was what anyone
would have done for a family member.
00:03:14.986 --> 00:03:17.488
On December 18, 2007,
the Gendarmerie reported
00:03:17.488 --> 00:03:20.491
that during a brawl
inside the Cordillera prison,
00:03:20.491 --> 00:03:23.494
Marcelo Moren Brito
was accused loudly by
00:03:23.494 --> 00:03:26.998
Maximiliano Ferrer, another former
agent of the DINA,
00:03:26.998 --> 00:03:29.500
of murdering his own cousin, Alan Bruce,
00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:33.004
drowning him with a plastic bag
on his head.
00:03:33.004 --> 00:03:36.007
Moren Brito died in 2015,
without giving any information
00:03:36.007 --> 00:03:39.010
about his cousin, who to this day
is still missing
00:03:41.012 --> 00:03:42.597
Alan Bruce, 24 years old
00:03:42.597 --> 00:03:44.224
arrested and disappeared
00:03:44.224 --> 00:03:46.017
February 13, 1975
00:03:48.019 --> 00:03:52.023
