Short filmTranscript
00:00Pia and Ricardo. Cristobal's punishment, Vera's hidden truth. In the promise, Cristobal Guerrero
00:11demonstrates his sadism. He does not fire Pia, Dare, and Ricardo Pelissier, but destroys them
00:17from within, separating them from their son and relegating Ricardo to exile among day laborers.
00:24While this sentence sinks in, another bomb explodes. Don Federico reveals to Vera that
00:29she is not who she thinks she is, but the lost daughter of Aurora Montero and Sebastien Lujan,
00:34a truth written in letters and a diary that changes her blood.
00:41Catalina, betrayed by Martina, Jacobo and Adriano himself, decides to counterattack from the
00:46shadows with the living memory of the house and some old books that could sink her rivals.
00:54Angela's search in the forest offers evidence that turns out to be a macabre bait.
00:59Emmanuel, determined to break the web, ends his aerial dream to finance an investigation
01:06that already points to a hitman linked to Bartolome and Jacobo.
01:13Four flames ignite, resistance, truth, strategy, and justice, promising a dawn that no one will
01:20see coming. The air in the promise had become dense, almost unbreathable. It was not the persistent heat
01:30of a summer that refused to die, but a coldness that emanated from the very walls of the estate,
01:35an invisible frost that clung to the soul.
01:37Since Don Federico's return and with the poisonous presence of Don Cristobal Guerrero pulling the
01:46strings like a macabre puppeteer, each hallway seemed longer, each shadow more threatening.
01:50The silence was no longer peace, but the tense calm that precedes the storm.
01:59For Pia Adair and Ricardo Pellissier, that silence was a stifled cry.
02:02Manuel's intervention had been a momentary bomb, an outstretched hand in the middle of the darkness
02:13that had made them believe for an instant that justice still existed. He managed to keep Cristobal
02:20from firing them. Yes, but the smile that played on the soldiers' lips after their conversation was
02:26not one of defeat, but of sadistic inspiration. The real punishment was not exile, but internal torture.
02:36Cristobal had summoned them to his office, Don Alonso's former refuge that now reeked of expensive
02:41tobacco and tyranny. Pai entered first, her back straight, a dignity forged in a thousand battles
02:51that refused to bend. Ricardo followed her, his hands clenched into fists at his sides,
02:59his jaw clenched so tightly it hurt. They stood in front of the desk as a team,
03:06a united front against adversity.
03:13I will not dismiss you, Cristobal began, savoring each word,
03:16letting hope blossom in them only so he could crush it with even more fury.
03:25Manuel has made me see that your efficiency is indispensable to the smooth running of this house.
03:32It would be a mistake to do without you, he paused, his small,
03:36cruel eyes traveling from Pia to Ricardo.
03:38But your indiscretion, your immoral behavior under this roof cannot go unpunished.
03:49There must be consequences, exemplary consequences.
03:54Pia's heart hammered against her ribs.
03:58She knew what was coming would be worse than the streets.
04:00She knew what was coming to the streets.
04:02Starting tomorrow, Cristobal continued, steepling his fingers.
04:07You, Pellicier, will step down from your duties as head butler.
04:13You will be relegated to managing the fields and outside chores.
04:17You will sleep in the day laborers' quarters alongside them.
04:23You will not set foot in the main house again unless I expressly authorize it.
04:27Ricardo felt as if the ground was opening up beneath his feet.
04:36It was not the work that hurt, but the enforced distance, the separation from his son and Pia.
04:43It was an exile within his own home.
04:46Cristobal turned to Pia, and his smile widened.
04:52And you, Adair, you will continue to be the housekeeper.
04:56But on one condition, your son, little Diguaito, will be moved to the east wing, to the old nanny's room.
05:05He will be under the exclusive care of a maid of my choosing, a person I trust completely who will arrive tomorrow.
05:14You will only be able to see him for one hour a day, at dusk, and always under supervision.
05:19The world on her feet fell apart.
05:24The air left her lungs in an inaudible hiss.
05:30Her son was being torn from her.
05:33It was a cruelty so refined, so diabolical that it surpassed any physical punishment.
05:38Seeing her baby for just one hour a day as a stranger, as a visitor, was a sentence of death in life.
05:49Why?
05:51She whispered, her voice breaking, her strength cracking for the first time.
05:55Because sin has its price, Pia, Cristobal said, standing up and walking around the desk to stand before them.
06:08And the two of you will live each day remembering the price of your mistake.
06:12You will see the fruit of your love, but you will not be able to enjoy it.
06:18They will be under the same sky, but separated by an abyss of my creation.
06:24It is a fatal decision, don't you think?
06:28Fatal for their small and dirty happiness.
06:30Ricardo took a step forward, the protective instinct roaring inside him.
06:37He has no right.
06:38I have every right, Cristobal cut him off.
06:41His voice a whip.
06:48I am the lord of this house now and if I hear a single complaint, if I perceive the slightest
06:52subordination, the offer of the daily hour will disappear and the child will be sent to an orphanage
06:57that they will never hear about again.
07:01I have been clear.
07:05The threat, so blunt and direct, left them frozen.
07:09There was no choice, no escape.
07:11They were trapped in the monster's web.
07:16They left the office without saying a word, walking like automatons.
07:20When they reached the corridor, out of Cristobal's sight, Pia leaned against the wall, her legs
07:28trembling and the tears she had been holding back welled up with uncontrollable violence.
07:32Ricardo hugged her.
07:34Ricardo hugged her.
07:37A desperate, furious hug, helpless.
07:40She wasn't crying, but her entire body vibrated with murderous rage.
07:45In that silent embrace, in the darkness of the hallway, they made a promise to each other.
07:53They wouldn't give up.
07:53They would fight.
07:58Somehow, they would find a way to destroy Cristobal Guerrero, even if it was the last thing they did.
08:03Meanwhile, in another part of the house, a different kind of earthquake was shaking the foundations of another soul.
08:11Vera had been feeling the weight of Don Federico's gaze for days.
08:20It wasn't a look of lasciviousness or menace, but something much more disturbing.
08:25It was a look of recognition, tinged with a deep, almost unbearable sadness.
08:34When he finally asked her to accompany him to the library with the excuse of needing help arranging some books,
08:39she knew that the moment she had both feared and longed for had arrived.
08:42The library was immersed in a gilded gloom from the afternoon sun filtering through the heavy curtains.
08:55The smell of old leather and paper was comforting, but the tension in the air canceled it all out.
09:04Don't I ask you to come and sort the books, girl, Federico said, his voice hoarse with illness and grief.
09:12He sat down heavily in a wingback chair, motioning for Vera to take a seat across from him.
09:22Vera obeyed, her hands clasped tightly in her lap.
09:26So what for, Mr. Marquez?
09:31Federico studied her for a long moment, as if memorizing her features.
09:34I've seen the handkerchief you sometimes wear, the one embroidered with the initials AM.
09:45And I've seen the way you look around this house as if searching for something you've lost.
09:52Vera's heart skipped a beat, the handkerchief, a gift from her supposed mother.
09:57My mother gave it to me, sir.
09:59Your mother, Federico repeated, a bitter smile curving his lips.
10:06What I'm about to tell you is going to rock your whole world.
10:12And I'm asking you to listen to me to the end.
10:15I'm not doing this to hurt you, but because the truth, however terrible it may be, is better than a life built on lies.
10:21Vera nodded, unable to speak.
10:27The man you call your father, Federico began.
10:30The man who mistreated you and from whom you fled.
10:35He is not your biological father.
10:37He was the foreman of a farm next to some land my family owned in the north.
10:40A brutal and greedy man, and the woman who raised you as your mother, she stole you from.
10:51The room began to spin around Vera.
10:54The words made no sense.
10:58Steal from me, from whom?
11:00From your real mother, Federico said, and his eyes filled with tears.
11:04Your real mother was called Aurora Montero, the initials on the handkerchief.
11:13She was an extraordinary woman, intelligent, brave, and she was the fiance of my little brother, my brother Sebastian.
11:22Vera felt a shiver run down her spine.
11:24The name Sebastian Lujan was a forbidden legend in the family, the brother who had died in tragic circumstances.
11:38Sebastian and Aurora were deeply in love, Federico continued, his voice breaking with the memory.
11:46But our family, especially my father, was opposed to this union.
11:51Aurora wasn't born into the nobility.
11:54They were going to elope to start a life far from here, but the night before they were due to leave, there was a terrible accident.
12:05Or so we were told, an argument with my father, a gunshot.
12:09Sebastian died, and Aurora, who was pregnant with you, disappeared that same night.
12:17Broken by grief and fearing for her daughter Nanata's life, she fled.
12:21And how?
12:21How did I end up with those people?
12:27Vera stammered, trying to process the monstrous revelation.
12:31We believe that the woman who raised you worked for my father.
12:34That he ordered her to find Aurora and get rid of the child, the living proof of Sebastian's love, to avoid a scandal.
12:44But that woman, instead of obeying blindly, decided to keep you, perhaps out of a twisted sense of motherhood or sinful greed, thinking that one day she could use you for her own gain.
12:58She raised you in misery and fear, telling you a false story to ensure that you would never seek your true origins.
13:12Vera stood up, pacing the library, gasping for air.
13:17Her entire life, every memory, every scar was a farce.
13:25She wasn't the daughter of a monster, she was the daughter of a Lujan, she was the niece of the Marquis.
13:34The blood that ran through her veins was the same as Manuel's, Catalina's, Martinez.
13:38Why are you telling me this now?
13:43His voice asked, a trembling thread of rage and confusion.
13:49Because I'm dying, Vera, Federico confessed with a rawness that left her breathless.
13:57And I can't leave this world with this burden. I've spent years searching for you in secret.
14:03When you arrived at the promise, something about you struck me as familiar.
14:08The shape of your eyes, your bearing.
14:13You are the spitting image of Aurora. I have made many mistakes in my life.
14:17I have been a coward on countless occasions.
14:24I allowed my brother's name to be dragged through the mud and his daughter to grow up in hell.
14:31I want to make amends, even a little, for that terrible mistake.
14:34You are a fighter, Vera, and you deserve to know who you are.
14:42Federico's words were not a consolation, but a bomb that shattered the fragile refuge that Vera had built for herself.
14:48She left the library without saying anything else, her head buzzing and her heart shattered.
14:59All her certainties had turned to dust. She did not know who she was, where she came from, or where she belonged.
15:06She only knew one thing. The truth she had just discovered was a key. A key that could open the doors to heaven or hell.
15:17And for the first time in her life, she had the power to decide which one to turn.
15:24The conflict for power, although less violent, was also burned in Catalina's heart.
15:29After overhearing the secret conversation between Martina and Jacobo, in which they planned to undermine
15:38her authority and take over the management of the promise, she had felt betrayed and furious.
15:45She sought out Adriano, her husband, expecting to find in him an ally, a confidant, a pillar on which to lean.
15:52Reality, however, was an even harder blow. She found him in the gardens supervising the work of one of the
16:02servants with an air of superiority that made Catalina's stomach turn.
16:09She pushed him aside with an excuse and when they were alone by the fountain,
16:13she urgently related to him what she had heard.
16:15They planned to push me aside, Adriano, Jacobo is manipulating Martina.
16:23They are conspiring behind my back to control the estate, she explained, expecting to see indignation
16:28in his eyes. A spark of loyalty.
16:33Instead she found an icy blankness. Adriano shrugged, an expression of calculated indifference on his face.
16:40Catalina, my dear, perhaps you are exaggerating. Martina only wants the best for the promise.
16:51And Jacobo, well, he's a businessman. Maybe his methods aren't to your liking, but they seek efficiency.
17:01Catalina looked at him incredulously. Efficiency. Efficiency over betrayal.
17:06They're my family and you're my husband. You're not going to defend me, you won't side with me.
17:15Adriana's reaction completely threw her. He sighed as if he were dealing with a capricious child.
17:24Taking sides would be unwise. Catalina, we shouldn't create any more conflict.
17:30Maybe you should listen to what they have to say.
17:31Delegate a little. You've been carrying a very heavy burden all by yourself.
17:39The words, seemingly reasonable, were poison daggers.
17:45It wasn't concern, it was condescension. In that instant, Catalina understood everything.
17:51The coldness of his marriage, his lack of interest in her beyond appearances, his sudden closeness to Jacobo.
17:59Adriana wasn't neutral, he was with them. Her marriage had been a sham, a commercial strategy to infiltrate her life and her inheritance.
18:11The pain of her cousin's betrayal was acute, but the discovery of her own husband's duplicity was an abyss that yawned beneath her feet.
18:22She felt more alone than ever, surrounded by enemies who wore the mask of family and love.
18:35But as the tears of helplessness struggled to escape, a different flame ignited within her.
18:39A flame cold and hard as steel. If she was alone, she would fight alone.
18:48They had been mistaken if they thought Catalina Lujan was an easy woman to bend.
18:55They had underestimated her intelligence, her tenacity and, above all, her love for the promise.
19:00The war had only just begun and she did not intend to surrender without putting up a fight that would make history.
19:13The tension between the cousins, far from dissipating, exploded that same afternoon.
19:19A dispute over the wages of the day laborers became the battlefield.
19:22Martina, influenced by Jacobo and Adriano, advocated drastic cuts to maximize profits.
19:35Catalina, on the other hand, defended the workers, arguing that their loyalty and well-being were the real wealth of the estate.
19:41We can't squeeze the people who feed us, Catalina exclaimed in the middle of the room, her voice ringing with a passion that caused several members of the staff to stop and listen discreetly.
20:00And we can't ruin the promise because of your sentimentality, Martina replied, her face hardening.
20:05Difficult decisions must be made, something that you, with your romantic and impractical outlook, seem incapable of understanding.
20:18The clash was brutal, a collision of two worlds, of two diametrically opposed visions.
20:29The truce, fragile as glass, shattered and the sharp fragments made it clear that peace was impossible.
20:35The confrontation had resurfaced with unusual force and this time it dragged all the inhabitants of the house with it, dividing them into irreconcilable factions.
20:50Far from the palace intrigues, in the vastness of the forest surrounding the promise, hope and fear fought their own battle.
20:56The search party, made up of civil guards and a few volunteer day laborers, combed the area where Angela was last seen.
21:11They had not found anything for days and were beginning to feel discouraged.
21:14But then one of the men screamed, caught in the thorns of a tree.
21:24In a thicket of bramble, near a stream, was a small piece of cloth.
21:27A piece of a white maiden's apron, delicately embroidered with blue flowers along the edge.
21:40Salvador, who had joined the search against Rumelo's orders, ran towards it.
21:44His heart stopped when he recognized it. It was Angela's. He knew this because Rumelo himself had told him how much he liked the embroidery.
21:57A shout of joy went through the group.
22:00Proof, the first real proof that Angela had been there.
22:03She could still be alive, she could be nearby.
22:10Hope, which had been a dying ember, was rekindled into a bonfire.
22:17The captain of the civil guard examined the find.
22:20She had been here, he confirmed, and not long ago.
22:27The cloth was still clean, but while euphoria gripped most, an elderly day laborer,
22:32one of those who knew every inch of that forest like the back of his hand, frowned.
22:41He approached the thicket, looked at the ground, at the way the cloth was caught.
22:48Captain, he said quietly, this is not right.
22:52What do you mean, man? The officer asked impatiently.
22:55Look, the old man pointed out, the thorns are broken outwards, not inwards.
23:08If she had run past and gotten caught, the tear would have been the other way around.
23:11And look at the ground, there are no signs of a struggle, not even fresh footprints, except ours.
23:25It's as if, as if someone had put it here on purpose, Salvador finished, his blood running cold.
23:30The joy vanished as quickly as it had come, replaced by an icy terror.
23:42This was not a test, it was bait, a trap. They had been watched.
23:48Whoever had Angela was playing with them, leading them where he wanted.
23:51The mystery of her whereabouts had not been solved, it had become infinitely darker and more dangerous.
24:05The forest, which moments before had seemed a place of hope,
24:08was transformed once again into a menacing labyrinth and they were at the center, vulnerable and exposed.
24:13Manuel watched this whole whirlwind from a distance, self-imposed.
24:22His decision to sell his share of the family aviation business had fallen like a bombshell on his inner circle.
24:30Tonio, his friend and partner, couldn't understand it.
24:34But why, Manuel?
24:36It was our dream. He had begged him during a tense conversation in the hangar.
24:40We've fought for this for years and you're just selling it like that, without further ado.
24:47What are you after?
24:51Manuel couldn't tell him the truth.
24:54He couldn't confess to him that the money wasn't for a whim or for a new business venture.
25:02It was a weapon, the only one he had to fight the enemies who had infiltrated his home.
25:06The ultimatum from Cristobal, Pia and Ricardo, Angela's disappearance, Jacobo's strange influence.
25:17Everything was connected, he felt it in his gut.
25:22Official channels were slow, corrupt and possibly controlled by his enemies.
25:29He needed to act on his own.
25:30With part of the money he had discreetly hired a private investigator in Madrid,
25:38an ex-policeman renowned for his efficiency and stealth.
25:43He had given him two missions, to investigate up to the last corner of Cristobal Guerrero and
25:48Jacobo de Lujan's past and, above all, finding Angela.
25:51It was a risky, almost desperate bet, but it was the only one he had.
26:00His intervention for Pia and Ricardo had been a small tactical victory,
26:04but he knew that he had only gained time.
26:09Cristobal was a snake, if you cut off his head, another, more poisonous one would grow.
26:14His new solution was the test. Separating Pia and Ricardo from their son was psychological torture
26:23designed to break their spirits.
26:27And Manuel was not going to allow it. The illusion that the summary spoke of was not that of a new
26:32air project, but the illusion of being able to save his family.
26:35The faith that with the right resources and acting from the shadows he could unmask the villains and
26:43restore peace to the promise.
26:49That was why he put up with Tonyo's incomprehension,
26:52the disappointment in Yana's eyes, the weight of the secret.
26:58He knew that he had made the right decision, even though the path that awaited him was lonely
27:03and full of dangers. The beginning of the end, a glimmer of hope.
27:11Night fell upon the promise, but this time darkness did not bring defeat.
27:19In the hearts of those who refused to surrender, small lights began to flicker, defying the gloom.
27:24In the day laborers shed, Ricardo Pellicer did not sleep.
27:33Instead of letting himself be consumed by rage, his sharp and strategic mind began to work.
27:41He knew that Cristobal's new nanny would be his eyes and ears.
27:44She would be his son's jailer, but she was also a weak link.
27:53He spent the night drawing up a plan, not a direct attack plan, but an intelligence plan.
28:01He would use his contacts with the field workers, people invisible to the masters,
28:05to keep an eye on this woman, to learn her routines, her weaknesses.
28:09And Pia, from the inside, would do the same.
28:16They would communicate through secret notes passed by the most loyal maid,
28:19Lopez in the kitchen, or even Di Guido himself in his diapers if necessary.
28:27They were not going to accept Cristobal's torture,
28:30they were going to turn his own prison into a weapon against him.
28:32When Pia received Ricardo's first note at dawn, hidden in the bread basket,
28:40a single word written on a piece of rolling paper.
28:44We fought.
28:45Her tears were no longer tears of despair, but tears of renewed and fierce determination.
28:54The monster had separated them physically,
28:56but he had managed to forge between them an unbreakable bond of resistance.
29:03Vera, after wandering aimlessly through the gardens,
29:06took refuge in her small servant's room.
29:12Federico's words echoed in her head.
29:14A cacophony of pain and revelation.
29:20Aluhan, daughter of a forbidden love, seemed like a cheap novel,
29:24but deep in her heart she felt the weight of the truth.
29:26Then she remembered a small wooden trunk that her mother had always kept locked,
29:34warning her never to open it.
29:39After her escape, in an act of rebellion, she had taken it.
29:43She had never dared to force the lock.
29:48Until now, with her heart in her mouth and using a hairpin.
29:52After several minutes of tension, the lock gave way.
29:58There were no jewels inside.
30:00No money, just a small bundle of letters tied with a faded silk ribbon and a worn leather journal.
30:05The letters were from Sebastian Lujan to Aurora Montero, filled with a love so pure and intense that it took Vera's breath away.
30:19And the journal was from Aurora, her mother.
30:22The first page began in elegant, firm handwriting.
30:26My beloved Sebastian has died.
30:28I carry our daughter in my womb, the only light I have left in this world of darkness.
30:37I will flee, I will protect her, I will give her the future that was stolen from her father.
30:43She will be called Vera, which means truth, because one day she will know the truth and claim what is hers.
30:51Vera closed the journal, tears falling onto the leather.
30:54She was no longer lost, no longer a nameless victim.
31:00Seeing Lujan Montero and her mother's promise, written so many years ago, had become her own mission.
31:09The truth had not destroyed her, it had made her reborn.
31:13Catalina, feeling the weight of her husband's betrayal and her cousin, she didn't break down.
31:18Instead, a calculating coldness took hold of her.
31:25She realized that in order to fight snakes she had to think like one.
31:32That night, while everyone was asleep, she went to the kitchen.
31:36She wasn't looking for food, but for Simona and Candela,
31:39the two women who, together with Pi, were the true soul and memory of the promise.
31:43She found them drinking an infusion, their worried faces reflecting the tension in the house.
31:55Catalina didn't beat around the bush, she told them everything.
31:59Martina and Jacobo's conspiracy, Adriana's betrayal.
32:05She didn't ask them for help directly, but for advice.
32:09And in the wisdom of those two women, she found her best allies.
32:16If you want to control the accounts, Miss Catalina, Simona said astutely,
32:20you'll have to go through the books.
32:26And books sometimes tell more than they seem, especially the old ones.
32:30It was a spark, Catalina remembered some old accounting books of her grandfather's
32:38kept in a forgotten chest in the attic.
32:43Books that could contain secrets about properties, debts, and past business dealings.
32:52Secrets that Jacobo, in his eagerness to take possession of everything, surely did not know.
32:57Her happy ending that night was not a victory, but the discovery of a treasure map,
33:05a map that she hoped would lead her to the weapons she needed to defend her home.
33:08And for Manuel, the light came in the form of an urgent telegram.
33:19His investigator in Madrid had made an extraordinary first breakthrough.
33:25A shepherd from a village near the promise had testified.
33:29The night of Angela's disappearance, he saw a dark car without license plates,
33:33waiting on a secluded road.
33:39He saw two men force a young woman who matched Angela's description into the vehicle.
33:46And most importantly, he recognized one of the men.
33:50He was no ordinary thug, he was a former business partner of Don Bartolome de Lujan, Jacobo's father.
33:56A man with a reputation for violence and dirty work.
34:02The connection was undeniable.
34:06Angela's disappearance was not a crime of passion or a random kidnapping.
34:11It was directly related to the power struggles within the family.
34:14Jacobo and perhaps Cristobal was behind it all.
34:22Manuel clutched the telegram in his hand, a tense but triumphant smile on his lips.
34:31The enemy had made their first mistake, had left a witness.
34:34The chess game had just turned upside down.
34:36The promise continued under a dark sky, but in four different points of the estate,
