"The story that follows is real,

and among the participants, they are and some of its original protagonists. "

"Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening,

during a major police business,

by the forces of the public class in Madrid,

a member of the terrorist ETA organization,

he was killed and two others were injured, according to various estimates.

From the early afternoon, with the cooperation of the forces ...

of the Police Headquarters in Barcelona, ​​

The first two arrests were made, that sounded an alarm,

at the police headquarters in Madrid,

who found her presence of ETA fighters,

consisting of 4 people, which, as it became known,

traveled with a Reno 12, with license plate M-5126-AC.

The vehicle in question was located parked at the junction of the streets ...

Paseo de la Castelliana and Maria de Molina.

Soon a spectacular start tracking in the area, first,

through the crossing roads, towards the north side of the city, to Samartin,

where the terrorists left the car, and they continued ...

their desperate flight, on foot, in the surrounding streets.

Witnesses argue that one a terrorist killed himself when he was surrounded.

Other sources report that he was killed, when he was trapped by the police,

in his attempt to escape.

In other news, the president of the government, Carlos Arias Navarro,

In the afternoon, she did one meeting with Spanish journalists,

who accompany him to Helsinki. "

- All OK; - Yes Sir.

Nice.

I called you all here, because I was informed by the Directorate General,

for an escape plan from this detention center.

I hope this is just a rumor or a wrong alarm,

but nevertheless as a precautionary measure,

i ordered the visit to stop until further notice.

During the day, the baths and the dining room will remain closed,

and they will only open for meals

and whenever we consider it necessary.

The number will also increase of daily counts

and the courtyard will be isolated from the interiors.

If we find out the slightest indication of an escape attempt,

then you will suffer the consequences of your actions.

That's for now, Thank you very much.

Here.

The bastards!

Give me that and go notify the Director.

You stay here and watch out, there are weapons.

Yes Sir.

They found them!

They made the entrance to the bathrooms.

- How did they manage to do it? - We do not know.

About 50 prisoners worked, incessantly, for 4 months.

But in the support team there was a hafiz.

And as you know very well, our boredom was lost.

- And then what did you do? - Something very simple.

We started digging another hole.

But, this time, they took part only the team fighters.

For the first time, she participated in one part of the Trotskyites, right?

Yes, we were together ... Well, anyway ...

... we were psyched ... And the most important was ...

... that we knew very well the sewer system.

From the previous hole, we kept all the materials ...

... some tiles, some cement and many other things.

Then we waited to see what would be Madrid's reaction.

The discovery of a hole like this dimension, it would not be left unanswered.

To tell the truth, they knew how to choose the right time.

- At the time of oppression? - Exactly, right now.

Jose Elgeta Alcorta, single, adult,

a prisoner in the Segovia prison.

I respectfully present my positions,

for my country, which is down from a fascist oppression,

her wealth, found in the hands of a minority,

its guided culture, its sovereignty, abolished by the power of arms,

and which deprives them of their rights, and in particular the citizens,

Juan Paredes Manot and Jose Maria Otayegi,

who are being tried on 28 of them of the month,

for actions against the regime,

facing the penalty of death ...

... and I require immediate action the release of my comrades,

as well as independence and socialism for the Basque Country,

and for all the nations that ask for it.

For these reasons, I'm complaining and I denounce this regime,

declaring a hunger strike, By default.

Segovia, August 25, 1975. Dear Sir, General Manager

of penitentiary institutions. "

From what I see, you are all the same.

This goes beyond competencies of the Directorate-General,

all i can do is to hand it over to the Director,

to gain legal status, I do not know, however, what opinion he will have.

A hunger strike, now, they are crazy.

Yes, they were waiting until we started the hunger strike.

At that time, it had begun a campaign ...

... against executions of Chiki and Otayegi.

Two days after launch hunger strike,

11 companions moved in Puerto de Santa Maria.

Even the doctor, almost, to be arrested.

- The doctor ... in prison? - Yes, this doctor.

This strike was a very difficult one a test for all.

The protest was the express one desire to give up.

but we were threatened with implementation of the most recent ...

anti-terrorist law, that of Aria.

But the doctor behaved Very good.

Among other things, We stayed for 3 months ...

... isolated in our cells.

When summer arrived, we had returned to normal ...

... we were still wearing it our winter clothes.

Nevertheless, our team, had not left ...

... the idea of ​​a new hole.

There were many points that we could dig.

While the guards were guarding them corridors, we ...

... we were trying to open it hole through the toilet.

Okay, we could get there to the sewer.

They don't know how to deal with it these people.

The executions must have been a heavy blow for you.

Spaniards, Spaniards,

Franco ...

...passed away.

An excellent person,

who before God and history,

took on a huge responsibility

to meet the requirements and the sacrifices

and serve Spain,

to dedicate his life,

giving battles day by day

and hour by hour,

to fulfill

of this supreme mission.

I know these moments

my voice, will reach your homes

wrinkled and confused

from the sounds

of your bends

and your prayers.

Eventually they left us quiet. Nevertheless we were still waiting for amnesty ...

... with a hole halfway through Moreover...

... with the rumors circulating, for transfer to Soria prisons.

- And the gift of grace? - Giving thanks? What awards?

We didn't expect many things, but this gift of grace ...

... it was a hidden hope, still and for the less optimistic.

They were released from our cells only 3 people and one of them ...

... had it in his boots, the designs of the tunnel.

- In the end, only three were released! - But didn't you expect a general amnesty?

Yes, because of the given situation, we thought we would soon be awarded.

But there was no contradiction in what we did and in what we expected.

What mattered was getting out as soon as possible. Either one ...

... either way.

- When will this be published? - In a week.

"No, no, Iturbo, no ...

... you will never fuck,

you will die in prison.

The worms will eat you, Iturbe,

and you and your cock. "

What happens; Do we have a count? We want another hour.

We have counting. And I'll ask for it, whenever I want.

Wait here. I'll be back immediately.

- Who's missing? - They are all.

End of count.

You know that a notice came for my trial,

for April 3? They will definitely take me.

As you can see, they will fuck me away.

And so, why don't you try to request postponement.

Yes, but still, they will in Madrid. Even if it's postponed ...

...the trial, the transfer will not be canceled.

The only solution is to get sick.

If we can persuade the doctor will not take you.

Yes, but how am I going to do that?

I don't know, we'll think about something.

Get it.

Look.

This is about constipation.

This is for diarrhea.

- This is for the fever ... - What do you want me to kill?

Come on, don't be silly, think of escape.

This is for the flu.

Perfect.

It took us so long, fucking.

- And when will it arrive? - At the latest, in three days.

Hector is visiting tomorrow and his wife will take it.

When are the meetings?

The first at 10. And the second at 15.

One of them will arrive. For sure...

And by the end of the month, You'll fuck outside, fucker.

Look what the junk did. They put railings here ...

How nice!

It's late, we have to leave.

Drop by.

Tomorrow I have a visit and I would like to return this book to my wife.

Ah, "Moby Dick." It's her the whale movie, right?

No, this is the whale book.

- It's the movie. - No, the book.

Good good. I understood.

Don't forget to say to your wife to ask for it.

- Okay, goodbye. - Goodbye.

Hello.

How are you;

Hmm, how do you want me to be?

Look, we're going to ship a statement, outwardly,

to support the campaign to provide amnesty.

There are some out there,

who think we can hurt these mobilizations

and that's why we have to make it clear, our position.

We will all sign, so that there is no doubt.

Even the guards will sign.

- Hi how are you; My name is Oriole. - Hello.

- Can we get through? - Yes Yes. Come in.

Inside the pants lining some of your partner ...

... we discovered this document.

The terminology used can be considered criminal

as it supports and incites violence on the streets.

- Do you recognize your signature? - No.

Very well. Bring the next one.

They want us locked up in cells, as a punishment for yesterday's signatures.

We need to find someone watch the hole.

Iturbe!

The passage must be safe. Many will pass.

- How many? - Somewhere between 20 and 30.

- It's a big number. - That's why it has to be safe.

- When will it be done; - In 15 days, approx.

Nice. I think the place is ideally, to escape to Espinal.

Watch out ... from here.

If you need something, knock on the door and call your cell number.

You have to stay in isolation, so don't talk to anyone.

- Did I understand? - Ok, I got it.

For God's sake!

Guardian! Guardian!

- What's up; - They put a new inmate at 18 ...

... and complained because his toilet is clogged

The plumber will come in the afternoon. What will we do?

I don't know, he was waiting to think.

- What are we going to do? - Wait, fuck.

There is no one who can to get into the hole.

What;

No one can get in the hole.

- If you want, explain it to me. - No, no, it's very difficult.

Get me out of here, guys, I'm drowning!

Get me out of here! Open the door!

Get me out of here! Children! Open the door!

I just looked at it and it shows very excited.

If they don't let you out,

there are serious chances to injure yourself,

or cause trouble.

Look at his folder.

It has a history of claustrophobia.

Well, if you think the situation it's so serious ...

Please, you can shout the Guardian?

Of course.

Can you go?

- Sir. - Get Iturbe out of the cell ...

... and let him live normally.

This is clogged ... Your eye is clogged.

- And why so much rush? Leave us... - Listen, it's true, I swear to you.

Clogged, huh? You won't be with your good.

Be careful how you talk to me.

Come on, now, man. Come on. How am I talking to you ...

These 21 days ... locked in cells, it was for us ...

... the worst time in prison.

It's amazing what that means to be isolated when you know ...

that there is a tunnel ready. We spent our days ...

with the thought that the guards, could discover it ...

or that we just got out of cells, they would send us to Soria.

ZUMARAGA

Did you arrange meetings?

Do not worry. Everything is ready.

All that's left is to give you the slogan

so that you know when you will you must notify the "carrier."

They'll call you.

"At nine o'clock, on the farm, on behalf of Juan. "

"At nine o'clock, on the farm, on behalf of Juan. "

- Will you remember that? - Yes ... stop!

Here, Radio France, you hear the show in Catalan.

There are no younger than him Gibuzcao's manufacturer,

Angel Beratanti Urbe, who, probably abducted by the EDF.

As we know, his car, a 280 Mercedes,

with San Sebastian 6675E plates, was found parked ...

next to the RESTOP restaurant, on the Bilbao-Bechobia Highway.

It looks like ransom requested by the kidnappers,

They amount to 100,000,000 of pessaries. Lord Berathanti,

Factory CEO sewing machine Sigma in Elgoibar ... "

"The train that is parked on the first line, departs for ... "

It is dangerous to move around loaded, with these bags.

- Calm down. Let's go to a safe place. - It's far away;

No. Only the distances here they are a little bigger.

Yes definitely!

That's a craze. I can not to understand how you endure it for so long.

At first it was difficult. Then you know people ...

you make friends and everything changes.

- Are you doing well with them? - Very well.

We still lack clothes.

They have to be delivered today without fails, to get them out.

I repeat to you, I should be nice, summer clothes,

so that they don't take up space in the bags. Also, I would advise you,

take a couple with you rubber shoes.

Sneakers will fill shit,

like everything you wear, they will get dirty, passing the tunnel.

And the belts should be tightly tied so your pants won't fall off.

Good good. Because that's how you want it.

No, I'm serious. There is no space and you will move forward with your hands.

What about Oriole?

He still knows nothing. We'll tell him in a bit.

We have his measures and we have she also takes off clothes for him.

What if he doesn't want to? She has been a PCE member again.

Will do. It is anarchist and he also has many convictions.

Why wasn't he notified earlier?

We had to learn about him first and Barcelona didn't answer us.

Well, we continue. No farewell.

No hugs.

Each team will wait one and a half slim and will cross the courtyard

Next to the basket Pamlito will stand.

When you see the ball bounce, means that there is no risk.

Any question?

- What's up; Good morning. - What's up;

We want to carry furniture from Segovia ...

- and we're looking for a carrier. - When do you want it?

For today. But we must leave now.

Very nice, cheaper than me you are not going to find. Come on, let's go.

In the trip we will talk about pasta.

Listen ... he's a colleague of mine who wants to take advantage of the journey ...

... to jump for a job in Segovia.

If you don't mind, of course.

Talk to me, man. Tell me, where is it?

He'll be waiting for us on the road, just below.

Then keep in mind.

- Will there be "bars" for everyone? - No, guns are just for us.

What they have left will be shared to those who know how to use them.

- And when do you plan to do it? - Now, right after eating.

Now;

Damn it!

- Nevertheless... - We've found clothes for you outside.

In the bag with the number 14. It's very important to wear a belt,

otherwise, your pants will fall off.

At the beginning of the tunnel, you will move forward with your hands.

- And why did you choose me? - Man, because ...

You got a heavy sentence, right?

Who doesn't want liberty!

Well. we will start going out, after eating, in groups of five.

We just explained to you what to do.

From now on, you will only worry about it. Okay?

- Hello. - What's up;

- Come on, let's put them back. - Let's go.

What do you want;

Calm down, don't worry, we are from EDF and we want your truck.

If you don't do any nonsense, you will get nothing.

- Oh, you're from the EDF ... - Come on, leave the fairy tales and go up.

- Drop by. - Good morning.

The food is ready, we could...

... to serve it now. Otherwise we will eat it frozen.

Okay.

Long live Catalonia!

Izjari!

Please, I want your attention. Everyone, anyone with injuries or scratches,

tell me. We have little ones a quantity of iodine and oxyzene,

there isn't much, but at least, you will be disinfected.

I have a leg wound.

Listen to me, for a moment.

To let you know, let me know, how the truck transports firewood ...

... from Segovia to Burgette, with all documents neat.

Tonight, we will definitely pass the boundaries of Valkarlo ...

... and it's very important if truck stop, no one is talking.

- From outside I hear everything. Was it understood? - For a pee?

Not even for a pee. So usually, identify Portuguese immigrants.

Anyway, if one can't stand,

let's ask for a plastic bag.

Well, I'll share the money. It is about 25,000 pesetas for everyone.

At nine o'clock on the farm.

- Did you look in the baths? - Yes.

Again these bastards!

Close them in the cells.

Come on, fast. Get up.

Come on! Didn't you hear? Get up!

The "carrier" is not here. There is noone.

How is it not? It's not possible. If you knew the location perfectly ...

Unless something has happened.

Calm down, it will appear. It may have been delayed.

How to calm down with a truck crowded?

This can not be done.

Well, I'll go the other way, but I have to go through San Sebastian.

Don't worry, it will appear from time to time.

And what are we doing now;

But I don't know, we can't wait here for a long time.

I'm going to tell it to others. Take care.

Radio France here, the news in Spanish.

Although not confirmed Officially,

it seems that about 30 prisoners, mainly owned,

to the Basque ETA autonomous organization,

they escaped, this afternoon, from the central prison of Segovia.

According to the French agency news, they managed to escape,

from a tunnel, built months ago, and ended up in a nearby stream.

During the afternoons and the early morning hours,

a large police force, was mobilized, in the capital ...

of Segovia and its surroundings, to start the effort,

for escapist tracking. On the other issue ...

there are no more new ones for him Gibuzcao Angell's cavalier ... "

It would make more sense to go back in Pamplona, ​​to park the truck

and wait for us to come back in touch with the organization.

However, we are only 5 km away. from France. France is next to us.

We're going half an hour away, through the mountain and we arrived.

I find it very dangerous to move from place to place.

The driver has seen, at least two Jeeps of the Militia ...

... and don't forget that we are in a smuggling zone.

I think it's very dangerous and they can find us anytime.

- We have to make a decision now. - What to do, then?

We have to go. Let's go to the mountain, man.

- Here, we can't stay. - Okay, let's go.

Listen, if anything happens, go west and then up.

I left the meeting and went in Hedaya because I thought ...

... did something change. The motto was: "At nine o'clock on the farm ...

... on behalf of Juan. " And the caller just said ...

"... at nine o'clock on the farm." That's what confused me.

- They are waiting for the "carrier." - But until tomorrow ...

... is not going to appear The Carrier." We were destroyed.

Do you see this light?

Yes I can see it.

The Militia!

Back, back, break up into groups.

Let's go.

- Does anyone know where we are? - No.

And there is no way to find out.

Let's go, we have to keep going!

We have to move on. The "carrier" must be close by.

Come on. Courage.

Hurry, come!

There is a cupboard full of preserves.

At least we will have food.

Lost?

He shouldn't have come On the other hand;

You are there;

You are there;

Something has to be done.

Unless we want to commit suicide in a conflict,

I think it would be better to get down to the city.

And it is also very likely someone to be killed.

It is possible. They may sound, and for us, the bells of death.

If they catch us with these lumps, we painted it.

It would be better to go down unarmed.

With these clothes, so dirty and with these in my hands ...

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

"When they tried to cross the border ...

... they were scattered and lost in a large wooded area,

when the Militia forces, under the command of General Atares,

they tried to circle them.

Along with tracking companies that started from the first moment,

with the help of the trainees of Militia dogs,

The recording of the possible began shelters that could

to use the escapes, among which they are ...

... the huts on the mountain tops and countless summer houses,

which are uninhabited during ... "

In the militia forces working in the area ...

Aid has been added from Logrono,

a Special Forces Battalion of the Army ...

... and one more, from the Constitution of the Mountain Commandments ... "

What happened;

"Obviously, the fog remains ..."

You have to be more careful, right?

"Although various sources from the Burgess Administration ...

report that the fog it will go away ... "

From now on we will exchange them purposes so that we can rest.

You will go ahead and you'll be in the window.

Come on.

Stop it, Militia!

- Real estate! - Real estate!

Stand on the wall.

Turn your head with your hands.

Come on, move on, let's go.

Everyone inside. Come on! Come on, fuck!

Let's go!

Let's go, everyone out. Get out! Get out!

"The delegation of which, president is an integer,

like Lord Amadeo Markos, that keeps going on,

promoting Navarre's progress and keeping it, year after year ... "

I want to eat something.

He wants to eat something.

What do I have to eat?

I only have fried eggs with spicy sauce.

And that makes me.

"The request for amnesty and freedom,

with the participation of several hundreds of people.

The appearance of the police, in those places,

brought about the dismantling of these groups. At the same time, in a ... "

- All OK! - Let's go.

- They left; - Yes.

Get covered.

- Where are you from; - We're from another group ...

... we went to see if they found him, but we were lost.

- Do you know who we are? - Sure, we've crossed the border.

But there is no way to we know where exactly we are.

The area is filled with militiamen.

Throw your weapons down and get up with your hands high!

You are surrounded! Dispose of your weapons!

Real estate!

What are you doing;

He lowered the gun. With the barrel on the ground. Take the bullet out of the chamber.

Take care of him.

You, pick up the weapons.

- They killed me. - Don't move, calm down.

Hands on head. Record them.

Calm, don't move.

- Real estate! Don't move! - Hands up!

Fall down! Bored him!

He had a bullet in the chamber, without security. The fucker!

Don't hit me! I am injured!

- Are you injured? Where? - Here, on the shoulder.

- Real estate! - Real estate!

Still or shoot!

Come on, let's go in!

Come on!

Let's go.

Do not try to solve for a few hours and you will have no problem.

As for the car, don't worry, we'll pay attention.

We leave you at Pta 30,000. We ate everything we found.

I think that's enough.

Let's go.

Quickly! With attention!

We're leaving. "Goodbye." "Goodbye."

Goodbye and good luck!

The four of us have succeeded to cross the border,

we stayed under restraint, by the French authorities,

on the Atlantic Ocean, from where we returned to action again.

As for the rest,

A few months later, were released through an amnesty
