1:57:02
at the moment of the shooting.
1:57:05
My mother's words were in my head
like a scream that went on and on.
1:57:11
And I could fell a pain.
1:57:14
They were pulling at my hair
and cutting it off with a razor.
1:57:17
And then they put the braids
in my mouth...
1:57:21
and tied them around my neck
to make a gag.
1:57:25
Then they ran clippers across my head.
1:57:30
I commenced to cry, because until then
I'd been too frozen to feel anything.
1:57:37
In the mirror,
I could see the men laugh.
1:57:42
I couldn't look away from the horror
my face made with braids in my mouth.
1:57:53
When they took me out,
I stumbled over the dead barber.
1:57:57
They had shot him
because he belonged to a union.
1:58:00
Then I saw my best friend
being dragged in by two more men.
1:58:05
When she saw me, she screamed.
She screamed the whole time
1:58:09
they were shoving me
across the square
1:58:11
and into the doorway
and up the stairs of the city hall,
1:58:16
to the office of my father, where they
put me on the couch. - MarĂa.
1:58:25
The worst things were done there.
- Quiet. Don't think about it.
1:58:33
I was going to tell you
on the way back from El Sordo,
1:58:37
but I was glad
when you wouldn't let me.
1:58:41
Then I was happy,
as if it had never happened.
1:58:44
No. Tonight, Pilar said
I must tell you everything.
1:58:50
And now you won't love me.
1:58:54
Tomorrow you'll take me through the
lines and I'll never see you again.
1:58:59
Never. You won't want me.
