"Sure, they didn't nail you... on anything big." " Then why bring us here?" " This is a depot." "They'll have to make a decision." "They'll release you, you're no use to them." "And you?" "What about me?" "Will they release you?" "I'm a hostage." "I may be useful to them." "Officially, I was killed in a clash." "That's why I'm not blindfolded." "Don't worry!" "Bye, Osvaldo." "Come here." "Remember: "The makers of revolutions are the people, not individuals."" "I'll remember." "Claudia." "You're so thin." "I look horrible." "No, you look pretty."

"Captain, they're just kids." "So what?" "You don't know the UES, the Che Guevara Youth, the GESA." "They're the hotbeds of subversion, the guerrilla's logistic support." "I don't understand." "First you know nothing, now they're subversive." "Don't misunderstand me." "Your daughter has probably gone underground... or abroad, it's quite common." "I know my daughter." "She'd get in touch with me." "I know her." "That'll be all." "Good day." "Ivana?" "I prefer Patricia." "It's old fashioned." "So?" "It's cute." "It's horrible." " Laura?"

"Tell me." "Your children were taken away on September 16th?" "Yes." "Accept it with Christian resignation, ladies." "You'll never see them again." "What?" "What's that?" "I can't deceive you." "There must be a mistake." "There's no mistake." "Only God is infallible." "It can't be." "Aterrible injustice." "Accept the facts." "They won't be back." "For you." "Blockheads!" "Think of yourfamilies." "It's Christmas Eve." "Claudia, will you pray with me?" " Will it help you?" " Yes." "All right." "Why pray?" "If God existed, he'd get us out." "He's too busy." "What?" "Either that, or he's a fascist." "Don't say that." "Don't argue." "Let's sing something together." "Come on, Claudia." "If we all sing." "I'll sing if I know the lyrics."

"You're going to live." "We'll take you away but I'm warning you... and I want it to be crystal clear." "You must forget everything." "Better still, you were never here." "Understand?" "The bastards!" "Who do they think they are?" "Remember, you're leaving tonight." "Horacio, what's the NEP?" " Why?" " What about the NEP, Pablo?" "I'm with the NEP now." "Then you're legalized." "It's the National Executive Power." "Now you're legally arrested." "That's wonderful!" "I told you, blockheads, they'd let you out." "No, we'll be killed." "No, no!" "Claudia, can you hear me?" "Claudia!" "Let's go." "Wait!" "I have to see Claudia." "Please, before I leave." "OK, only a minute." "Or they'll kill me." "Look at me." "Remember me." "I never tortured you or anything."
