Dedé 1994 and 1960
- This part is called "Part 3: 1960."
- Dedé wraps up her talk with the interviewer. She admits that she wasn't involved in the movement until it was too late.
- She offers to drive the interviewer to the turn so she won't get lost, but the woman says she'll make it.
- Just then another car comes up the drive. It's Minou, Minerva's daughter.
- She says she went to see Fela, but that she couldn't talk to any of the ghosts; their spirits must be at rest finally.
- Dedé says it's because they've been with her all afternoon.
- Minou asks her aunt why she didn't go along with them.
- Dedé remembers the day her three sisters came to visit her and asked for her help with the movement.
- Patria has already asked for help, but Jaimito has refused. They explain that they have a plot to kill "the goat," their code word for El Jefe, within three weeks. They ask her to join their cell.
- The girls argue over whether Jaimito and their father are supporters of Trujillo because of their silence. Then Patria brings back the peace.
- Dedé decides to leave Jaimito so she can join her sisters.
- While he's at his Sunday cockfight she will leave. She has been sneaking out at night to listen to her old crush, Lío, who broadcasts over the radio.
- As the day approaches, though, Dedé starts to get cold feet. She doesn't want to leave her sons. She goes to talk to Padre de Jesús, but when she gets to the church she sees him unloading boxes and realizes that he's in the group too. She abandons ship.
- When she gets home, Dedé finds her kids and husband gone. The maid tells her that they've gone to her mother-in-law's, with suitcases. She runs to her mom's and gets a ride with Minerva and Manolo to her mother-in-law's.
- Jaimito makes a scene, and Manolo makes peace. He convinces Jaimito to take Dedé on a second honeymoon.
- The following week, Leandro is arrested. Pedrito and Nelson are taken too, and Pedrito's family farm is burned down. Manolo, it turns out, hasn't escaped the SIM either.
- Then Minerva is taken, and Dedé and Jaimito go to get Minou and take care of her.
- When Dedé goes to her mother's house to tell her about Minerva, she finds Captain Peña of the SIM there, taking Mate.
- The family gathers and prays.
- Back in the present, Dedé realizes that she didn't invent her game of remembering a happy moment the night of her sister's arrest. Minerva taught it to her after she got out of prison. It was an exercise she did when she was in solitary confinement to maintain her sanity.
