- Do everything you can in order to stay here. Good luck.

- We have a school. - A school?

- Hurry up.

- I heard the prisoners might be transferred from here.

- Can you help us, sir? - No. I'm sorry.

- We're going to dig up Altamirano one way or another.

- I want him alive.

[dramatic music playing]

- Good morning.

Would you like some breakfast?

- We heard loud noises and shooting. The kids woke up.

- We're safe as long as they don't get in.

- They cut the power twice yesterday. - Are you sure they won't get in?

- This is the safest place for you.

- 90 meals. - What's that?

- From where?

- From the airport. With Eliana's help.

- From the Socialist Party, you mean.

It's the best way to use our savings.

- Thanks, Eliana. Let me help you.

- Okay. Thanks.

- Tapani.

I want to leave.

- Seriously? - There's nothing we can do here.

I miss my friends. They are all in Cuba.

I should be there with them. To help them get organized.

Could you get me a safe conduct?

- I can always try. - Thank you.

- What can I do for you?

- What time do we leave?

- In an hour. Are you all set to go?

- Yes. But...

Is it safe to leave the school?

- Your safe conducts are in order.

There shouldn't be any problems.

- I'm afraid.

- Relax.

Soon you'll start a new life in the GDR.

- That's what I keep telling her.

- Is the airport safe?

- Ilkka and I will see you to the airport.

- Thank you.

- Comrades, activists, and friends of the Socialist Party.

Comrades of the coalition party Unidad Popular.

- Who shot this? - I did.

- It's the last film I developed. - This is a hard and bitter time

for the Chilean revolutionary process.

- We've lost the battle... - That gesture.

- ...of liberation and independence.

These setbacks shouldn't discourage the revolutionaries.

- He shouldn't have held this speech.

The president was preparing a referendum.

He just needed some time.

- Were you there? - Yes.

- So you knew him personally?

- ...those who call themselves democrats.

They try to paralyze the country...

- Carlos Manríquez.

Thank you.

- What do I do with this? - Keep it safe.

- Documents. There you go.

- Relax. I'll drive behind you the whole way.

You will travel safely with the minister of health.

- Ex minister.

- Ready.

- Will you follow me? - Yeah.

[knocks on door]

- Mr. Roberto? You haven't touched your food.

- I'm fine. Don't worry.

- Do you need something? - No, thanks.

- Okay.

- Everything is fine.

- Have a good trip. - Thank you.

- Thank you for everything.

- Thank you.

- Have a good trip. - Thanks.

- Thank you, ambassador. - Have a good trip.

- Héctor!

- Silvia, keep walking! - Tapani, outside!

- Please, sir. I'm innocent.

Seriously. Please, sir. I'm innocent!

- Hey!

- Now we'll start from D. - Okay.

- F minor.

A. E minor. Then D.

A major and D.

- ...that blesses the glory and the shame

- How's that? It's not so difficult. It's your turn now.

- It wasn't so hard. - Not at all.

- 45 minutes outside!

- Let's go!

- We have time to play once more.

- Okay.

-I don't sing for the sake of singing

- Relax the wrist.

- Nor because I have a good voice

I sing because my guitar

- Sir.

- You have Eliana Aguilera. - Yes.

- We have to study carefully the charges against her.

- You do what you have to do.

- Are you doubting our abilities?

- No. I haven't said anything.

Could you pass me the list for a second?

- Héctor Solano. Didn't you... - Yes.

He received a visa 48 hours ago.

But we lost him.

We'll search until we find him.

When he's found, we need a safe way to take him out of the country.

A safer way than the previous one.

- Please, Mr. Ambassador.

Without the location of a person, you can't include them on the list.

That's the protocol.

- Can you help me to find him?

- Me?

Mr. Ambassador...

I'm stuck in here handing out visas.

In the case of a missing person, I recommend you contact the police.

- It hasn't always been like this.

I used to be the only one queuing.

- Does your husband act? - Excuse me?

- In the play at the end of the year.

My son dances cueca.

- I don't think so. I didn't know about it.

- They act every year. It's beautiful, and relaxing for them.

- How long has he been in prison?

- Four years.

[applause]

- Bravo!

- A great artist!

- Thank you so much.

I don't sing for the sake of singing

nor because I have a good voice

I sing because my guitar

has a reason and a purpose

It has a heart made out of soil

and dove's wings

It's like holy water

that blesses the glory and the shame

- Well? - I can't find him.

They insist he wasn't arrested. And Silvia?

- She got out with the others. They'll be in Berlin tomorrow.

- What's this? - It's from Sand.

- I see.

- We need to focus on our main mission, promoting Finnish trade.

These are gifts for the forestry people.

- Who are we going to meet? - Decision makers, forest owners.

- People Marco Ponce invited. - Yes, important people in trade.

People are getting killed, and they want us to play with fishing lures?

Thousands of people got killed in those forests on September 11th.

- Why would they shoot people in the woods?

It makes no sense.

- The junta was afraid it would become the new Vietnam!

- Tapani, I need your signature.

- Of course.

Can you imagine

that we'll organize an official fishing trip?

- For how long? - One week, maximum.

- Fishing.

- Actually, we will promote forestry trade.

- That's what the ministry wants.

- And when are you coming back?

- On Sunday.

- Would you like to come along?

- To a Finnish promotional event?

No, thanks. I hope you have a nice trip.

- Thank you.

- I have the details for the operation.

- I need to call Berlin. - I can call.

- The head of state has called me every day because of this.

- No dates, no names on the phone. Only what's necessary.

- The rest will be encoded. - Of course.

- How is he? - Come.

- He won't eat. - At all?

- Unacceptable. We can't starve General Secretary Altamirano...

- "Roberto"! We can't use any other names.

He just wants to be alone.

- I need to call the head of state immediately.

- Just a moment, Mr. Voss.

- If he doesn't eat in weeks... - Only I am allowed to see him.

I'm worried about all the people.

- We must get him out as soon as possible.

- Do you have the information? - Of course.

- Can you see how it wiggles? - Yeah.

- It swims like a wounded vendace.

A predatory fish cannot resist the movement.

It sees a certain meal.

Then it comes and... devours the little fish.

- Can I try? - Sure.

- Tapi! - Wait a second.

- Be careful. - Tapi!

There are more and more soldiers. I don't trust the Germans.

- Why? - They are planning something.

I'm in danger there.

- We must get Rodrigo free, so we can leave now.

- We decided on the plan together.

- It's not enough! I want to do more.

What if I talked to the Chief of Protocol?

- I don't recommend it. Neither does your lawyer.

They'll only pay more attention to Rodrigo.

- You've made up your mind. - I can't just sit and wait.

- Seija, please be careful. - I will.

- Keep calm and stay in the queue.

- That's for you. - The glasses are over there.

- Thanks, my friend. - Take a glass from there.

- Come to this side, please.

- Hello. Good morning, Ambassador.

- Good morning, comrade. - May I ask you something?

- Could we walk a little? - Of course.

- I received a note from some friends

that you've promised to give us a radio. Right?

- Yes.

- I mean your embassy, the GDR. - Yes.

- So there's equipment to build a clandestine radio?

- For now, I have to ask you to wait.

- For what? - We need time.

- Why wait if the radio is in there? - I'm waiting for orders.

- I know that... - I'm sorry, Oscar.

Let's wait for the orders.

- Well done, Marco.

- There you go.

Well done.

Very good, Marco.

- There it is. - Let's see.

- Well done. - That's nice.

- That's perfect. - Take a picture.

- One more.

- Oh shit.

- The power is out.

- At least they are not bombarding us. - We should bombard them.

Instead of playing ping-pong here with you.

- Let's play.

- What's so funny? - He's serious.

- Of course. There are plenty of us who would act if they called us.

- No one will call us. - Then I'll act by myself.

- Would you kill Pinochet by yourself?

Let's play. Your turn. Shoot.

- Calm down.

- It's brutal. - Sure.

- Everything has changed. It's so much better now.

- Yes.

- Gentlemen. A gift for the best.

- Thank you so much.

- We won't run out of whisky. - That's good to know.

- Cheers!

- Cheers. - Cheers to that.

- I'm a city animal.

But I can't deny the beauty of these mountains and lakes.

What would we be without nature?

I'm happy you get to know this area. Isn't it beautiful?

- It surely is. - We've been here before.

We had a forestry project here.

We know these forests.

- I remember it well. I've read your technical reports.

- It wasn't so long ago.

- The consulting company basically wanted

to increase the cultivated land area

in order to promote the forestry sector.

- The Mercurio newspaper labeled us as Marxists

who wanted to steal the land from its owners.

- Jesus, that's politics, my friend.

The report is still valuable for us who understand the topic.

In fact, the report was quite useful.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- What now? - I'm sorry.

I didn't want to disturb. I got lost.

- Get out and close the door. - General Secretary.

Is that you?

I'm Oscar from GAP. Do you remember me?

- What are you doing here?

Are you alone? - Yes, sir.

No one knows I'm here.

I knew you were still in the country.

I knew you wouldn't let your people down like those traitors.

Sir,

people are losing faith.

When do we begin? - Begin what?

- Get back to the streets.

You once said:

"40 years of tradition of proletarian struggle,

ready to resist any coup attempt."

Vietnam is still standing heroically.

I've been waiting for your orders.

Let's go and take up arms, sir.

- I'm sorry, but I don't have the answer you're looking for.

- Yes, sir. I understand. Don't worry.

The most important thing is that you are alive.

I want you to know that outside,

there are still a lot of people ready to take to the streets.

Forward without compromise.

- Wait.

Don't tell anyone that you saw me here.

It could endanger everything.

- Yes, sir.

At your service.

- To ensure a permanent supply of high-quality trees,

pulp and lumber companies have just started to buy those lands.

- Who owns the land? - Excuse me?

- From here to Argentina?

- The ownership is changing.

- What did you mean by saying that our report was in good hands?

Do you have it? Are you the owners of these lands?

- No, not these lands.

We want to privatize the area

in order to build a solid industry.

Isn't that the idea?

Look. The Mapuches don't know how to monetize a piece of land.

We do, and we can help them

by giving everyone an opportunity to grow, including them.

We'll create a subsidy, so that anyone can invest in the forest.

- What do you mean by "anyone"?

- I'll give you a free piece of advice:

now is the moment to invest in land.

The second advice will cost you.

- Okay...

I think it's time for a cigar.

Tapani? - Yes.

- What the hell? Have you gone crazy?

"Patria y Libertad." Right-wing extremists trained here!

- These are Edwards's lands! - We won't discuss that here.

Remember who these people are! - Who are they?

- They are running this country.

- Shall we cooperate with those who made the coup happen?

Or with those who built this country with us?

- Remember that we work for Finland.

We must keep all channels open!

Especially because of those people who come to us for protection.

Trust me for once, goddammit!

We need these people.

Whether you like it or not.

- Tell them that I have problems at home.

Thanks.

GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC

- Yes. Just a moment, I'll connect.

- Are they here? - Who?

- Representatives of a German pharmaceutical company.

How do you do. Lovely to see you.

- Thank you.

- I'm Andreas Voss, the head of the group.

- I know. - Follow me.

- Can you explain why Mr. Roberto's hideout is now an asylum?

- Finnish diplomats brought them there without asking...

- It was a mistake to show them the school in the first place.

We're under Finland's protection now, it was...

- So you plan to keep him there for three more weeks

and take the risk that he'll be seen by... how many people?

- Hundreds. - Hundreds of refugees?

- I've examined other, faster options,

like crossing the border to Argentina. But it's too dangerous!

- Mr. Voss, what's dangerous is that no one listened to us!

We heard about the coup from a West German spy team

long before it happened.

These people would not be in danger if they had been taken to safety.

- Yes, but... - There's no time for excuses.

Mr. Herz, can we get Mr. Roberto safely to this building?

- Yes, there is a tunnel that connects the school and the embassy.

- We arrived by car, and we will also leave by car.

- Here.

- Something from my party?

If there's a letter from my party, I'm right here.

- Forget about your party and work with us.

We're not giving up.

- Do you have some kind of a plan then?

- I'll inform you when the time is right.

Eric, pick up the trays.

- Would you please stand up? - Sorry?

- Stand up, please.

Follow me, please.

- Yes, of course.

- Can you please step in? - Me?

- I need to test this.

- Very unnoticeable. - How will he make it?

- It's a six-hour drive to the border.

- Are you okay?

Can you breath all right? - I guess.

- When they get to Argentina, he can sit comfortably in the front.

- Sir?

Do you have a second?

- Of course. After you.

Sit down.

- I'm here to talk about my husband, Rodrigo Sandoval.

He's been accused of crimes that he hasn't committed.

- For a moment, I thought you were the new secretary.

- You are a powerful man, who has influence on other people.

They listen to you.

- Look, madam.

We have to investigate all activities involving violence.

- But my husband...

- The government wants what's best for Chile.

- Rodrigo wouldn't be a problem for Chile.

Let him go, and we'll go immediately to my country, Finland.

- I understand.

- He won't stay here without his family.

We have a son.

- Madam, you are free to leave.

You can go back to your country whenever you want.

Please let me give you a piece of advice.

Leave, and take your son with you.

Go and spend Christmas at home with your family. Take my advice.

He'll stay here and receive the sentence he deserves.

So if you'll excuse me, you may go.

Is there something else?

- Are you sure of what we're doing? - Please trust us.

- Trust us, comrade. It's all right. Relax.

- This has gone quite well, eh?

A lot of positive things have happened.

- Bloody hell!

- Take it easy.

What now?

- Get out of the car. - We're diplomats.

- Get out. I have to check the car.

- This is not right. - I'll decide that. Get out.

- Open the boot. - No.

- It's a foreign car.

We have to check that you are not hiding criminals.

- I'm not hiding anybody!

Gun down, or you'll get into trouble. - Open the boot.

- Calm down. Please calm down, sir.

We are diplomats. You shouldn't do this, but it's all right.

Look.

- Goddamn!

Let's go.

- Hey. How did it go?

- It went all right.

How have you been? - We've been all right.

Hi. - Hi.

Here's something from our fishing trip.

- Thanks. - Come in for a drink.

- Maybe one.

[door slams]

- Hi. Relax, he's a friend.

- Hello.

- German Democratic Republic. Andreas Voss speaking.

- Mr. Voss, I'd like to thank you for helping my company in Santiago.

I thought I'd stay for a holiday here in Argentina.

- Really? So your trip went well?

- Yes. You should open a bottle of champagne.

- Good to hear. Thank you for letting me know.

- Where is he? - Who?

- Let's cut the crap. I know who was here, Andreas.

- I want to be part of it. We are on the same side.

Listen to me.

I was a bodyguard of the President of the Republic.

I know how to keep a secret.

- He's in Argentina.

- What? - I know. It's incredible.

We managed to get him out.

- Why are you so serious? - Me?

- I know that we're not living the happiest times ever but...

- We lost the forestry industry. They are...

The government is selling the lands at a cheap price to certain people.

There's no sense being part of it.

All the state-owned industries are getting new owners.

And we can't stop it.

- Are you leaving or what?

- We support the junta just by being in the country.

- No. If you weren't here, who would be watching them?

- I'm sorry to bother you,

but you've received a certified letter.

From the CIA.

Bad news?

- Berlin.

- Don't worry. No one has seen them yet.

- Please leave. - Excuse me.

- How is your family? - They're well, fortunately.

So much fun.

- Lots of work? Lots of communists? - Yes.

- The rats, the Reds.

- Every day, there are fewer of them. - Luckily.

They make you laugh, though. - You have to laugh sometimes.

- One was screaming, even crying for his mother.

- Communist cowards.

- Such brave little men.

- Forward without compromise!

- I don’t sing for the love of singing,

my voice doesn’t sound beautiful.

I listen to the language of the guitar,

I follow its heart, its mind.

It has a heart of earth,

and the wings of a dove.

Its chords are like holy water,

blessing my sorrow and grief.

My song has found a purpose

as Violeta would say.

Guitar hard at work,

shining and smelling of spring.
