00:06Damien Confesses Everything in Chapter 403, September 29
00:15Dreams of Freedom continues to surprise us with an important confession from Damien in Chapter 403 of Monday, September 29.
00:22The air in Toledo on that afternoon of Monday, September 29, seemed laden with the weight of unrevealed secrets, a dense, gray veil that clung to the ancient stones of the city and filtered through the cracks in the windows of the queen's house.
00:40Inside, in the majestic hall, where portraits of ancestors silently judged from the walls, Gabriel moved with the restlessness of a caged animal.
00:48The amber liquor in his glass trembled, betraying the agitation that ran through his veins.
00:59Maria, sitting in one of the velvet armchairs, watched him with a mixture of concern and patience.
01:06It can't be her, Gabriel said, stopping in front of the large window. It can't be Marta.
01:12I spoke to her, Maria. I looked into her eyes. There is pain in her, a sorrow so deep it consumes everything.
01:22But there is no betrayal, there is none.
01:25Quote, his voice was a hoarse murmur, conviction struggling to assert itself over a nagging doubt.
01:31He had spent hours, days turning over the same idea, the same suspicion that nod at him from within.
01:37Who was Don Pedro's informant? His first instinct, his cold, legalistic logic, had pointed to Marta.
01:45He had the motive, the access, the intelligence, but the conversation he had had with her had disarmed him.
01:52He had seen a broken woman, not a conspirator.
01:55So who, Gabriel?
02:03Maria asked softly, her voice and anchor in her cousin's storm.
02:08If it's not Marta, who is left?
02:11Gabriel turned and a new spark lit his eyes, one that wasn't of desperation, but of calculation.
02:16He walked over to the coffee table, set down his glass with a thud, and leaned toward her.
02:26I've changed my focus, I've been thinking about every detail, every conversation, every glance, and I've remembered something, something I overlooked.
02:34Pileo's political rise, who supported him from the beginning?
02:41Who pulled the strings in the shadows so that a relatively unknown man could gain influence so quickly?
02:46Quote
02:47Maria frowned, following the train of thought.
02:52Don Pedro?
02:53Exactly.
02:55Don Pedro, he promoted him.
02:57He put him on the board.
02:59Why?
02:59Out of pure benevolence, I don't think so.
03:01Don Pedro never gave anything without expecting to receive double in return.
03:07Pileo was his investment.
03:10His man in politics, and a man like that.
03:13A man like that owes him absolute loyalty.
03:17A loyalty that could include passing on information about us, about the company, about Marta.
03:25The theory, once verbalized, took on a terrifying solidity.
03:29It fit, it fit, it fit in such a perverse and logical way that Gabriel wondered how he hadn't seen it before.
03:38Pileo's kindness, his apparent concern for Marta, it could all be a facade.
03:42A carefully constructed mask to hide his true alliance.
03:49I have to talk to him, Gabriel said, his resolve hardening his features.
03:53But not directly, I can't warn him, I have to set a trap for him, I have to get the information out of him without him realizing he's being interrogated.
04:04His lawyer's mind was already working, designing the strategy, the tricky questions, the calculated pauses.
04:09He would become a hunter and Pileo, the politician with the easy smile and eloquent words, would be his prey.
04:24While Gabriel sharpened his dialectical weapons in another part of the city, in the Carpona House, the atmosphere was one of stifling solemnity.
04:32Don Pedro's wake was taking place in almost absolute silence, broken only by muffled coughs and the monotonous murmur of prayers.
04:45The candles cast dancing shadows across the faces of those present, masks of mourning that hid a whirlwind of conflicting emotions.
04:52Dignis stood, rigid as a statue beside the closed chest.
05:00She was not crying.
05:01Her dry eyes were two wells of an emotion too complex to be defined as simple sorrow.
05:07It was relief, it was guilt, it was rage, it was the weight of decades of silence.
05:14Irene approached her stealthily, a warm presence in the cold atmosphere of the room.
05:18He was a complicated man, Irene whispered, searching for the right words that did not exist.
05:28Dignis turned her head slowly, her eyes meeting Irene's.
05:33A bitter, almost imperceptible smile played on her lips.
05:39Complicated, wasn't it?
05:41Irene was an evil man, evil in its purest, most selfish form.
05:45Let's not fool ourselves, not even now.
05:49Irene nodded, not daring to contradict the raw honesty of this woman who had endured the unspeakable.
05:58She saw in Dignis' eyes not only the reflection of her own pain,
06:02but also the confirmation of the confession that Don Pedro had made to her on his deathbed,
06:06a confession that weighed on her conscience like a stone.
06:09At that moment, the deep, resonant voice of Don Augustine, the parish priest,
06:15rose above the murmurs, beginning the prayer service.
06:20We gather today to bid farewell to a good man, Don Pedro,
06:24a pillar of our community, a devout Christian whose life was an example of rectitude and charity.
06:29The words flowed neatly and sacredly,
06:34weaving a geography that could not have been further from reality.
06:39And while the priest praised the supposed goodness of the deceased,
06:43very different images were projected into Dignis' mind and perhaps into that of a few others.
06:50Raw, silent flashbacks, fragments of a life lived at the antipodes of divine grace.
06:55A flashback, a younger Don Pedro, dismissing with contempt a worker who begged him for an advance
07:04for his sick son's medicine.
07:09Your incompetence is none of my business, he spat before turning his back.
07:14Another flashback, Don Pedro in a shouting match with his niece Cristina years before,
07:19threatening to disinherit her if she did not follow the path he had laid out for her.
07:23You belong to me, child, your future is mine.
07:28One last, brutal flashback.
07:30Quote, the image that haunted Damien and that Dignis now recalls.
07:35Pedro, standing over a dying Jesus,
07:38watching with cold indifference as life slipped away from his nephew,
07:41without lifting a single finger to help him.
07:43An act of omission as lethal as the most active of poisons.
07:50Don Augustine continued,
07:51And we pray to the Lord that he will welcome him into his bosom and grant him eternal rest.
07:57Dignis closed her eyes.
07:59Rest in peace.
08:00A soul like Pedro's would find no peace, neither on earth nor in heaven.
08:04His own personal hell, she suspected with dignity, had barely begun,
08:12and a part of her, the part that had seen her son consumed by guilt,
08:15couldn't help but feel a dark and terrible satisfaction.
08:20Far from the incense and prayers,
08:22in the industrial heart of the Queen's perfumery,
08:25the noise of life and work continued.
08:27In the saponification area, a space that smelled clean and chemical,
08:33Andres explained to Tassio the renovations that were being carried out.
08:38He moved with an ease and knowledge that left Natasio's mouth open.
08:44He spoke of pressures, temperatures,
08:47catalysts and yields with the passion of an artist describing his masterpiece.
08:54And by modifying the steam inlet at this stage,
08:57Andres said,
08:58pointing to a complex network of new pipes,
09:00we not only speed up the process by 15%,
09:03but we also improve the purity of the soap base,
09:05which will allow us to use subtler essences without being corrupted.
09:12Tassio listened to him,
09:14nodding,
09:14but his mind was in chaos.
09:16He felt like an imposter,
09:18a child in men's shoes.
09:21He was the director,
09:23the one who should have had that vision,
09:24that control,
09:25but it was Andres,
09:26the man who had given up everything,
09:28the one who seemed to carry the factory in his blood.
09:33The admiration he felt for his brother-in-law was tinged with a deep and bitter insecurity.
09:40Andres,
09:41Tassio interrupted him,
09:42his voice more serious than usual.
09:45Listening to you,
09:47the detail,
09:47the passion,
09:48is incredible.
09:50I'm asking you seriously.
09:52Have you never considered being the general manager of this factory?
09:54The question hung in the air amidst the hum of the machinery.
10:02Andres stopped and looked at Tassio.
10:03There was no arrogance in his gaze,
10:07but a calm sincerity.
10:09No,
10:10Tassio,
10:10never.
10:13But you would be brilliant,
10:14you are a thousand times more capable than I am.
10:17You know it.
10:18I know it,
10:18everyone knows it.
10:21Andres put a hand on Tassio's shoulder,
10:23a firm gesture,
10:24and brotherly.
10:26Being capable and wanting to be capable are two very different things.
10:31My place is not in an office signing papers and dealing with shareholders.
10:36My place is here,
10:38hands on,
10:39smelling the oils,
10:40watching an idea become something real.
10:45This is my world,
10:46the executive chair is yours.
10:48I'm not sure I deserve it.
10:52Of course you do.
10:53You're smart,
10:55you're hardworking,
10:56and most importantly,
10:57you have a good heart.
11:00Do you want this to work for the people who work here,
11:03not just for the profits?
11:07That's all that matters.
11:09Trust yourself more,
11:10Tassio.
11:11That's the only thing you're missing.
11:14Believe in yourself like Carmen believes in you,
11:16like I believe in you.
11:18Andres's words,
11:19spoken with such genuine conviction,
11:21were a bomb to Tassio's wounded soul.
11:26Maybe his brother-in-law was right.
11:28Maybe he just needed to stop comparing himself and start leading in his own way.
11:34He nodded,
11:35silent gratitude shining in his eyes.
11:38Thank you,
11:39Andres.
11:40You're welcome,
11:40brother.
11:43Now let me explain.
11:44The new filtering system.
11:47You're going to love it.
11:48In the small,
11:49dark developing room,
11:50time seemed to have stopped.
11:54The only sound was the soft drip of a poorly closed tap and the brush of Marta's hands over Fina's objects.
12:00The air smelled of chemicals and memories.
12:05Everything she touched was a ghost,
12:07a pang in her heart.
12:12A wooden clip with which Fina held the photographs to dry,
12:15a box of half-used photographic paper,
12:18a small notebook with notes on exposure times and compositions.
12:21Marta held each object with a reverential delicacy,
12:28as if she were holding the last breath of her love.
12:34Memories assaulted her in waves,
12:36Fina's laughter in that same room,
12:38illuminated by the red safety light,
12:40her face a map of shadows and happiness.
12:45The touch of her hands guiding hers in the developing tray,
12:48the magic of seeing an image appear from nowhere like her love.
12:54Each memory was both a treasure and a torture.
12:57She was so absorbed in her pain that she didn't she heard Palao's footsteps until his voice startled her.
13:04Marta, I've been looking for you everywhere.
13:07She turned around with moist eyes and a lost expression.
13:12Palao, what are you doing here?
13:14I've come to look for you.
13:15Don Pedro's funeral is about to begin.
13:18We have to go.
13:21Marta looked at her own clothes, a simple everyday dress.
13:24She hadn't even considered changing.
13:28The outside world, with its rights and obligations,
13:31seemed like a distant and alien planet to her.
13:36I'm not going, she said in a whisper.
13:39How come you're not going, Marta?
13:41You're one of the queens.
13:42Your absence would be noticed.
13:46I don't care.
13:47All I care about now is this, collecting her things.
13:52It's all I have left of her.
13:55Palao sighed, his patience beginning to fray.
13:57He had tried to be understanding for weeks, to give her space, to comfort her.
14:04But seeing her like this, wallowing in her misery, began to ignite a spark of frustration in him.
14:09How long, Marta?
14:13He said, his tone harsher than he intended.
14:15How long are you going to keep going like this?
14:18Locked in this dark room hugging ghosts.
14:23Marta looked at him, offended.
14:25How dare you?
14:26You have no idea what I'm feeling.
14:28Of course I don't, but I do know that life goes on.
14:33Fina is gone, but you're still here.
14:36You have a life, a responsibility.
14:38You can't let yourself sink into this bottomless pit.
14:42The argument escalated with dizzying speed,
14:45their voices bouncing off the small walls of the room.
14:50It was his frustration against her unfathomable pain.
14:53Quote, you don't know anything about my love.
14:56You don't know anything about what we've lost.
14:58Marta cried, tears streaming freely down her cheeks.
15:03No, I don't know, but I do know that she would want you to move on, to be happy.
15:08No, this, this is not living, it's wallowing in your own sadness.
15:14I'm not wallowing, I'm remembering her.
15:17I'm trying to keep her alive.
15:19That's when Palaio, in a fit of desperation,
15:22of a brutal and misguided desire to make her react,
15:25uttered the words that should never have been said.
15:28Well, stop trying.
15:32Enough, Marta.
15:33You have to accept it, Fina is not coming back.
15:37The silence that followed that sentence was more deafening than any scream.
15:41The words hung in the air, sharp, cruel, definitive.
15:47It was the first time anyone had verbalized it in such a blunt way.
15:51Marta froze, her face a mask of disbelief and pain.
16:02The air seemed to escape from her lungs.
16:05The ground beneath her feet disappeared,
16:09the dam containing her sorrow shattered into a thousand pieces.
16:12A guttural sob, a torn, animalistic sound, erupted from her throat.
16:18She doubled over as if she had been struck, and collapsed to the floor, crying in utter despair.
16:26The echo of those words echoed in her skull.
16:30She won't come back, she won't come back, she won't come back.
16:34Palaio instantly realized the magnitude of his mistake.
16:37He knelt beside her, trying to touch her, but she pulled away.
16:44Marta, I'm sorry.
16:47But she no longer heard him.
16:49She was lost in an ocean of pain, drowning in the final, irrevocable certainty of her loss.
16:56She had broken, and Palaio, with his clumsy, cruel words, held the hammer.
17:01The tension was also palpable in the laboratory.
17:06The Marino brothers, Luis and Joaquin, worked in silence,
17:10but their minds were far from the formulas and the flasks.
17:15Death Don Pedro's plan, instead of bringing peace, had opened a Pandora's box.
17:22The possibility that Damien, now free from his father-in-law's influence,
17:27might decide to denounce his mother for the death of Jesus, was a ghost that haunted them.
17:31We can't go on like this, Joaquin said finally,
17:36putting a pipette down on the counter with more force than necessary.
17:42This uncertainty is killing us.
17:44Luis, what are you going to do?
17:46Are you going to denounce us?
17:47Are you going to send mom to jail?
17:50Luis ran a hand through his hair, his face drawn from lack of sleep and worry.
17:56I don't know, Joaquin.
17:58Damien is an upright man, but he also loved mom.
18:02He's caught between his conscience and his affection.
18:05Well, I can't wait for his conscience to win the battle.
18:09Mom wouldn't survive in prison.
18:12Not after everything she's been through.
18:13The image of his mother, dignified, a woman who had sacrificed everything for them behind bars,
18:21was more than Joaquin could bear.
18:26Determination took hold of him.
18:27I'm going to talk to him, he declared.
18:30Are you crazy?
18:31Luis replied.
18:32What if you provoke him?
18:35What if your questions push him to make a decision he hasn't made yet?
18:40It's a risk I have to take.
18:42I prefer a painful truth to this torture of not knowing.
18:47I need to look him in the eye and ask him what he intends to do with us.
18:51With mom.
18:54I'm going to look for him after the funeral.
18:56Quote, Joaquin took off his lab coat.
18:59His decision was unwavering.
19:00Luis watched him, too anguished to argue.
19:05Perhaps his brother was right.
19:09Perhaps the only way out of this labyrinth of fear was to walk straight towards the minotaur.
19:17In the queen's house, oblivious to the dramas unfolding around her,
19:21Begonia tried to weave a small haven of normality.
19:26She found Gabriel in the office, looking over some papers with a frown.
19:30She approached him with a bright smile, holding two pieces of cardboard in her hand.
19:38Gabriel, look what I've got, her voice said, full of childlike excitement.
19:44Two tickets to the premiere of the House of Bernardo Alba at the theater.
19:47They say it's magnificent.
19:51It's tonight.
19:54I thought we could go to dinner later, like before.
19:58Gabriel looked up from his papers.
20:00For an instant he saw in Begonia's eyes the reflection of the woman he had fallen in love with,
20:05of the simple, happy life he longed for.
20:07The desire to say yes, to tell Isabel, Damus Oveda, and the whole farce to go to hell was an almost physical impulse.
20:19But duty, the dangerous mission he was immersed in, anchored him to reality.
20:23The mask of coldness returned to his face.
20:29I can't, Begonia.
20:30Her smile faltered.
20:33You can't.
20:34Why?
20:35It's important to me, Gabriel.
20:37To us.
20:38I have work to do.
20:41An urgent matter that can't wait.
20:44More important than your wife.
20:45More important than trying to save what little we have left.
20:49His voice cracked slightly.
20:52It's a matter of life and death, Begonia, believe me, he said.
20:57And the truth in that sentence was more literal than she could imagine.
21:02I'm sorry.
21:03He stood up and left the office, leaving Begonia alone with the two useless tickets in her hand.
21:10The rejection was like a slap in the face.
21:13It wasn't just a play, it was a future.
21:15A chance to reconnect that he had just dismissed without hesitation.
21:21And the reason, the real reason for his rejection,
21:25was being prepared at that very moment in a hotel room,
21:27waiting for the man she knew as Damas Veda.
21:32Gabriel headed toward Isabel's web,
21:35leaving his wife increasingly alone and confused in the cold immensity of their home.
21:41The confession of a dying man has the power of a ticking time bomb.
21:45Irene knew this as she sat with Cristina in a secluded corner of the Carpina house.
21:52Far from prying eyes, Cristina was pale, her eyes red from suppressed tears.
21:59The news of her uncle Pedro's death had shaken her,
22:02but what Irene was about to tell her would shatter her in an entirely new way.
22:05Cristina, I have to tell you something, Irene began quietly.
22:13Something that Don Pedro confessed to me just before he died.
22:17Cristina looked at her, a premonition that the words to come would bring no comfort.
22:24He told me, he confessed to me that he was behind Jose's disappearance.
22:29Cristina's world tilted on its axis.
22:30What? No, it can't be.
22:35He wanted it.
22:36He helped me look for him.
22:38It was a farce, Cristina.
22:41It was all a farce.
22:42He ordered him taken away.
22:44Irene paused, taking a deep breath to drop the second part of the bombshell.
22:48But there was something else, something good.
22:52He assured me that Jose is alive.
22:54Alive.
22:56The word echoed in Cristina's mind, a spark of hope in an ocean of betrayal.
23:02But the betrayal was overwhelming.
23:04Her uncle, the man who had raised her, the only pillar she had left in the world, had done this to her.
23:10He had manipulated her, had played on her pain, had turned her into a puppet in his cruel theater.
23:20The knowledge that she had allowed herself to be deceived in such a vile way filled her with the shame and rage that consumed her.
23:26He lied to me, she whispered, tears now welling uncontrollably.
23:32All these months he has been lying to my face.
23:37Irene hugged her, offering a comfort that barely scratched the surface of her agony.
23:44Later, seeking shelter, Cristina wandered aimlessly through the factory until she reached the laboratory.
23:52She saw Luis, also lost in his own dark thoughts.
23:56There was a kinship in their pain, an unspoken connection of wounded souls.
24:02Luis watched her enter, his face distraught.
24:05Cristina, are you okay?
24:07She shook her head, unable to speak.
24:11She moved closer to him, seeking human closeness, the warmth of someone who could understand even a fraction of her torment.
24:20Luis, moved by her vulnerability, put a hand on her arm.
24:24I'm so sorry, Cristina.
24:28For your uncle, but it wasn't her uncle she was crying for, it was the lie, the closeness, the empathy in Luis's eyes, the fragility of the moment.
24:38Everything conspired.
24:39In a desperate urge to feel something other than pain, to anchor herself to something real, Cristina leaned forward and sought his lips.
24:48It was a quick, almost clumsy movement, but this time Luis was alert.
24:56He turned his face away just in time, his hands gently gripping her shoulders to keep their distance.
25:04Cristina, no, he said with a firmness tinged with compassion.
25:08Don't do this, not like that.
25:10The rejection, though gentle, was another wound in her already bleeding heart.
25:16She pushed away the humiliation, adding to her suffering.
25:20She felt completely alone, betrayed by the dead and rejected by the living.
25:24Without another word, she ran out of the laboratory, leaving Luis with the bitter taste of sorrow and complication.
25:36In the cantina, the atmosphere was one of farewell.
25:39Tassio had approached the bar where Gaspar was cleaning some glasses with a melancholy air.
25:44The contract for the transfer of the premises was on the table, ready to be signed.
25:51Gaspar, Tassio began, his voice full of sincere regret.
25:57I have come to apologize for everything, for how I have treated you, for my arrogance, for not having valued what you mean to this place.
26:06Gaspar put down the glass and looked at him.
26:08There was no rancor in his eyes, only a deep sadness.
26:11Water under the bridge, Tassio, it doesn't matter anymore.
26:16Yes, it does matter.
26:18And I've also come to say goodbye and ask you for one last thing.
26:23Tassio picked up the transfer contract and with a determined gesture tore it in half.
26:29And then again.
26:31Don't sign it, he said, leaving the pieces of paper on the bar.
26:37Stay.
26:38The bar needs you.
26:39I need you.
26:40I've been a fool, a novice director who didn't know how to see the talent in front of me.
26:47But I'm learning.
26:49Please, Gaspar, don't go.
26:51Gaspar looked at the pieces of the contract and then into Tassio's eyes.
26:56He saw a sincerity in them that he hadn't seen before, a newly acquired humility.
27:01The decision he had made, to leave and start over, suddenly wavered.
27:09Maybe, just maybe there was still something left to fight for in that place.
27:13The hotel room was impersonal and elegant, a perfect setting for a farce.
27:18Gabriel, now transformed into the serious and somewhat clumsy Damis or Venter in a dangerous play.
27:26Isabel greeted him with an effusive hug and a kiss that he accepted stiffly.
27:33My love, at last, she said, her voice is seductive purr.
27:38I have missed you so much.
27:42It seems like ages since we last saw each other.
27:45She moved about the room with a feline grace, pouring two glasses of wine.
27:49She wore a dress that accentuated her curves and her gaze was a mix of affection and barely concealed impatience.
28:00I have been very busy, Isabel.
28:03The work is overwhelming, Gabriel apologized, staying in character.
28:09Always the work, she replied, handing him a glass.
28:13Her smile did not reach her eyes.
28:15Sometimes I think it is just an excuse.
28:19What are you hiding from me, Damaso?
28:21Is there something you are not telling me?
28:25Gabriel felt a chill.
28:28Isabel's acumen was a sharp blade.
28:30He had to stay in control.
28:32Not letting any doubts creep in.
28:36Don't say that.
28:37You know you're the most important thing to me.
28:40It's just that this perfume business is more complicated than it seems.
28:45The competition, the trade secrets, he launched into a made-up spiel about corporate espionage,
28:53using his knowledge of the company to give it a veneer of credibility.
28:59Isabel listened to him with her head cocked like a cat studying a bird.
29:02I believe you, my love, he finally said, though his tone suggested otherwise.
29:10But promise me that soon this will all be over and we can be together.
29:16With no secrets, no excuses, she moved closer to him, closing the distance, her perfume enveloping him.
29:23Gabriel felt trapped.
29:25Every minute he spent in that room, every lie he uttered, distanced him further from Begonia, from himself.
29:35He was playing with fire and knew that sooner or later he would end up burning himself.
29:40The day, full of funerals and confrontations, was coming to an end.
29:44After the funeral, where Digna's inability to feign sadness had not gone unnoticed
29:52and where Manuela had offered a friendly shoulder to both the devastated Claudia and an oddly vulnerable Damien,
29:58the night brought the moment of truth.
30:03Damien de la Reyna appeared at the door of the Merino house.
30:06Joaquin, who was waiting for him with his heart in his mouth, was the one who opened the door.
30:13Don Damien, come in, please.
30:16I wanted to talk to you and I to you, Joaquin, or rather, to your mother.
30:22Are you home?
30:24Damien's voice was serious, lacking his usual warmth.
30:27Digna appeared at that moment from the living room,
30:30her face pale at seeing the patriarch of the Queen's family on her doorstep.
30:33The fear she had felt for weeks materialized in his presence.
30:41Damien, Digna whispered.
30:44We need to talk privately.
30:46Joaquin, despite his reluctance, withdrew,
30:49leaving his mother and Damien alone in the modest living room.
30:54They stared at each other in silence for a long moment.
30:57He had the weight of the world on his shoulders.
31:01She was prepared for the worst.
31:04I'm not going to denounce you, Digna, Damien said finally,
31:07and she felt her knees buckle with relief.
31:12But the look on his face wasn't one of forgiveness.
31:15I won't.
31:17I'm continuing, because I've discovered something,
31:20something that changes everything.
31:21I've spoken to the person who was with Jesus in his final moments,
31:27and she's told me the truth.
31:29Digna looked at him, confused.
31:32How true?
31:33She'd already told him everything.
31:36You weren't the one who killed him, Digna.
31:39Not directly.
31:40The poison you gave him weakened him.
31:42Yes.
31:42It left him vulnerable, but it wasn't the final cause.
31:48Damien took a step closer, his eyes fixed on hers,
31:51and every word he uttered was a sledgehammer blow.
31:53It was Peter.
31:57Peter was the one who let my son die.
32:00The revelation hit the room like a lightning bolt.
32:05Digna gasped, her mind trying to process the incredible.
32:08Peter, he was there, Damien explained.
32:12His voice cracked with renewed pain.
32:16Jesus begged him for help, asked him for the antidote,
32:19and Peter stood there watching him.
32:21He saw him convulse, he saw him drown, and he did nothing.
32:27He let him die with dignity out of pure hatred, out of ambition.
32:31He confessed this to Irene before dying.
32:33Digna put a hand to her mouth, horror reflected in her face.
32:39The image of Peter, watching impassively as Jesus suffered agony,
32:43was more monstrous than anything she could have imagined.
32:48The initial relief of knowing she was exonerated from the final blow
32:51was swept away by the magnitude of Peter's cruelty.
32:57I didn't know, she stammered.
32:59I know, Damien said.
33:01And then her gaze hardened and the forgiveness she had glimpsed vanished,
33:06replaced by a deep, unwavering reproach.
33:11But that does not exempt you from your guilt.
33:13There is one thing I cannot forgive you, and that is your silence.
33:18For all these years, Digna, all these damned years,
33:22you have seen me live with the idea that my son committed suicide.
33:27You have seen me blame myself, blame his memory.
33:30Have you seen my grandchildren grow up without their father,
33:33believing that he abandoned them?
33:36And you knew the truth.
33:38You knew that he had not taken his own life,
33:40that there had been a struggle, a poison.
33:44You remained silent.
33:46You allowed that lie to wrought us all inside.
33:49That, that, Digna, is something I do not know if I will ever be able to forgive you for.
33:53Damien's confession was not an act of absolution, but a different sentence.
34:02He would not hand her over to the law of men, but he condemned her with his own.
34:07The truth about Jesus, death had finally come to light,
34:10but instead of freeing them,
34:12it seemed to have forged new chains heavier and more complex than the previous ones.
34:16In the silence of that room,
34:21two families, united by tragedy and torn apart by secrets,
34:25faced an uncertain future,
34:27where old wounds had healed only to reveal others much deeper and more painful.
34:30The night in Toledo had barely begun.
34:36The night in Toledo had barely begun.
