The YES camp will have those 15 minutes

and all of the remaining time, too.

They didn't have that platform before.

Platform? How many parties are there?

Seventeen.

It'll be chaos.

They'll fight like cat and dog.

The general is respected everywhere.

Even the biggest hypocrites

know he's modernized this country.

Do you know what I've heard

my fellow Argentineans say?

"We want a Pinochet."

Everyone wants a Pinochet.

Show him.

You control the radio,

the newspapers, television. But...

we have to get him out of uniform,

and compose

an elegant, very Chilean anthem,

for the people to sing

with pride, to the general in a suit.

That spells trouble.

How about in black tie?

I prefer him in a suit.

I think we should take advantage

of his blue eyes, his smile.

We'd need to test it, Minister,

to be sure.

I'd make him wear a pearl.

It's very elegant.

I'll have to talk to him.

Pinochet out of uniform

is a government without soldiers,

in other words, progress.

This country's progress

has been stunning.

It's not like Latin America.

You don't realize the...

your influence in the world.

But these "gauchos" keep protesting.

The country is full of ingrates.

They forgot everything.

So scare them.

Excuse me?

You've lost me.

Shouldn't we show

a nicer face?

If you want to scare people,

scare them with their past.

Their past of poverty,

endless queues for bread.

The opposition

misses socialism,

but the only thing people care about

is handouts.

They know

socialism makes them unhappy.

Here, you have a system

in which anyone can get rich.

Careful, not everyone.

But anyone.

You can't lose when everyone

is dreaming about being that anyone.

Move, dammit!

Move, you idiot!

Free the political prisoners!

Free them all!

Why just some of them?

Veronica!

F***ing cops!

Stop it!

Why are you hitting her?

You're hitting a woman!

Out!

How can you hit a woman?

Let her go, motherf***er!

Let her go, a**hole!

Let go of me!

How much longer?

How much longer, for f***'s sake?

That's right.

Turn the news on.

OK.

There.

Free the nation

from frayed populist paths

and economical stagnation

and lead it to modernization

and progress for all Chileans.

Augusto Pinochet Ugarte.

from a very young age

showed his love for serving his country,

influenced by the stories

of the nation's forefathers

which set ablaze his courage,

and made him enter the military.

From dawn to dusk,

he worked tirelessly...

Give me that.

...Devoting all of his time,

his attention and his energy.

He sacrificed himself.

He endured everything

to accomplish his mission

to save Chile.

Iorana, President

Hear the voices of your people
