Meanwhile,

the NO supporters marched today

to where the freeway

meets the road in Santiago.

The main speaker there

was the spokesman

for the NO coalition

and Christian Democrat leader,

Patricio Aylwin.

I've said it clearly:

if the referendum is held

under the correct conditions,

we will accept the result,

whatever it is.

NO to hunger!

NO to exile!

NO to violence!

NO to suicide!

We will dance together for this NO

We will dance together for this NO!

We ask the authorities

to not attack us!

F***, my car!

Remain calm!

Here! Give me your hand!

No violence!

Please!

We ask the authorities...

Come! Close your eyes!

What's happening, Daddy?

Murderers! Murderers!

What are you doing?

Why are you there?

Go home!

Hold on tight!

Come on! Let's go!

Daddy!

Give me your hand!

Get in! And stay here!

And Mommy?

Did you hear me? Stay here!

Take Simon home!

Take Simon home!

Where are you going?

Where are you going, Saavedra?

She's my wife!

Go home.

Hello.

The officer in charge?

Yes, Colonel.

She's here, they told me.

Thanks, Lucho.

Don't worry,

I'd have done it for any of my people.

Happiness, huh?

My congratulations.

Unbeatable.

Thank you very much.

It's quite alright.

Hello. This is our last program.

For the last 27 days, I've been here

showing you the whole of Chile.

This morning, we'd like to say

while you stay at home and rest,

NO to hatred,

NO to violence.

And in this message, we are not alone.

Remember that the ballot is secret

and the future of your country

is in your hands.

The pain of Chile over these long years

has been the pain of all of us.

We'll be with you in our hearts

on October 5.

NO-EWS

Which flags do you sell most of?

YES or NO ones?

NO ones mostly.

Do the YES ones sell?

A little. Not much.

How many badges sold today?

1,500 NO badges.

And 50 YES ones.

More NO ones.

That's why I've only got NO things here.

That's what sells best.

This program is coming to an end.

We've run out of time.

From now on,

you will only hear the official opinion.

Freedom for Chile and its TV coverage

now depends on you.

Happiness is in your hands.

See you soon.

THE YES CAMP WILL USE

ITS 15 LEGAL MINUTES

My love,

say YES.

Honey, it's NO.

Tell me YES.

Come over here.

Tell me YES.

YES!

YES!

In the other campaign,

this ends with a NO.

In this campaign,

it ends with a YES.

You choose!

Consider that this country

has a great future ahead of it!

Great expectations!

Don't throw it all away.

I don't recommend myself.

You judge.

If I did wrong, forgive me.

But if you do the math,

it adds up pretty positively.

A winning country...

YES!

In compliance...

with the laws

governing the electoral process,

the TV channels have been integrated

into the state channel.

From now on,

retransmissions can continue

separately.

Long live Chile and Pinochet!

Of course.

You have a call.

Excuse me.

Go right ahead.

Don't worry.

Everything's fine.

Where will you celebrate?

With the family...

and friends.

Are you confident?

The little campaign's over.

It's now a matter of state.

Let them dance a while.

Are you celebrating?

Yes.

Are you going to eat?

From north to south,

the best team.

All the news and information

from where it happens,

across the entire country.

Televisin Nacional of Chile.

Across the capital

and the rest of the country,

voting booths were set up

early in the morning.

The public,

following official recommendations,

began arriving to vote

from first light,

causing some traffic jams

in certain areas.

A few minutes before 11am,

the President exercised

his right as a citizen,

voting at table number 1.

The images show the Head of State

completing each stage of the process.

Patricio Aylwin Azocar voted

at table number 16.

91, 92, 93,

94, 95, 96...

The Undersecretary of the Interior

is on the podium.

I shall now read

the third official count

by the Ministry of the Interior

which is currently announcing

a 57.36% YES vote,

and a 40.54% NO vote.

He can't give those results.

Of course they want to win,

but they can't.

They can't, right?

I don't think so.

Easy, now.

I didn't want to say it out loud,

but apparently, the old f***er

refuses to accept the results.

The cops are leaving.

I don't understand.

Maybe Ricardo knows...

They've all gone?

Simon!

Come.

It's a self-coup!

Get out the torches.

They want to screw us!

We have to back up the computers.

What's the procedure?

For those counting votes by hand,

you are each responsible.

They're robbing us!

There's foreign journalists everywhere.

So?

It'll be OK.

Will the foreigners help?

We need help!

Let's call some journalists!

International help or we're screwed!

This is critical.

We cannot lose.

Jos Toms!

Listen!

Our parallel count shows that we won.

This can't go on.

They're trying to buy some time.

This may keep happening

more and more frequently.

We don't know anything either.

F***ing military!

The TV, please!

...outside the Moneda Palace,

where all the generals are arriving.

They've been summoned

to an emergency meeting

by President Pinochet.

General Matthei!

Does the government have the results?

To me, it really looks like

the NO vote has won.

It seems pretty clear to me now.

That was the General of the Air Force,

Fernando Matthei...

The generals are abandoning Pinochet.

They're forcing him

to recognize the victory.

So that means...

this thing is over.

Sh*t, we won!

We won!

Really?

Yes! We won!

The YES vote won

43.04%.

The NO vote won

54.68%.

Today, a new Chile is born.

Fairer and more unified,

with no privileges;

we all have the right

to think different...

Bravo!

Where we all have

the same opportunities.

Because after this long day,

without a single drop of blood shed,

we have overthrown this dictatorship

simply by saying, loud and clear, NO!

Therefore...

long live Chile!

Chile

Happiness is coming!

Did you see that?

Up there!

Thank you.

We are happy. Chile wins.

It's a triumph,

a personal triumph

that represents

a choice, I would say...

We don't have to impose our opinions.

People are taking to the streets

to celebrate the NO vote winning

over 54% of the total vote.

Thousands of people are there.

Who doesn't jump for joy? Pinochet!

I'm going to leave you with Ren.

He will present the piece.

Ren is one of the main creators

of the successful NO campaign.

Thank you, Lucho.

Well...

First of all,

I'd like to say

that what you're about to see

fits with the current social context.

We believe the country is ready

for communication like this.

Absolutely.

Let's be honest:

Today,

Chile is thinking about its future.

Alright?

Shall we?

Santa Maria tower's heliport

welcomed

10 women in formal gowns

and 5 men who admired their beauty.

Suddenly,

the soap opera's hero, Estban Greve,

played by Osvaldo Silva,

appeared in a helicopter

offering a bunch of flowers

to these Beautiful and Bold women.
