Marta le confiesa toda la verdad a Andrés. Avance en video del capítulo 406 de 'Sueños de libertad' del jueves 2 de octubre.
El aire en la habitación de Isabel parecía haberse solidificado, denso y cargado de una tensión tan palpable que podría haberse cortado con un cuchillo. Sostenía el auricular del teléfono con una mano que temblaba, no de miedo, sino de una furia helada y decidida. ...

00:10in episode 406 october 2nd marta confesses the whole truth to andres
00:19video preview of episode 406 of dreams of freedom from thursday october 2nd
00:24the air in isabel's room seemed to have solidified dense and charged with attention
00:29so palpable that it could have been cut with a knife
00:31she held the telephone receiver with a hand that trembled not with fear but with an icy and
00:40determined fury on the other end of the line the voice of damien de la reyna patriarch and
00:47axis of the family that she now yearned to destroy it sounded distant oblivious to the bomb that was
00:52about to explode isabel are you still there you seem strange to me is something wrong
00:59gabriel watched her from across the room his eyes wide with panic
01:03every muscle in his body was tense like a cornered animal
01:09he had underestimated her pain her ability to push herself to the limit
01:14the woman he loved the woman he had dragged into his personal abyss
01:20was one breath away from annihilating it all
01:22his plan his revenge his very life hung in the balance of her next words
01:30yes damien something is happening something very serious isabel began her voice in iceberg
01:39something you need to know about your nephew about gabriel
01:44gabriel's heart hammered against his ribs with insane violence
01:48no no no he lunged at her not to snatch the phone from her for that would only confirm
01:57damien's suspicions but to plead with her with his eyes
02:00his eyes normally filled with seductive confidence were now two pools of desperation
02:08he shook his head at her over and over again a silent frantic gesture
02:15isabel please he whispered a plea that was barely audible
02:19she ignored him her eyes fixed on an invisible point on the wall
02:26as if she were gathering her strength to deal the final blow
02:29gabriel is not who he seems damien he's been lying to you he's been lying to all of us
02:36in that instant gabriel's mind worked at breakneck speed
02:43searching for a way out a crack in the wall of her resolve
02:46he couldn't appeal to logic he couldn't threaten her
02:52he only had one weapon left the twisted love that united them
02:56the promise of a shared revenge that he himself had planted in her heart
03:00the plan his voice exclaimed a little louder than he intended charged with an urgency that made isabel
03:08hesitate for a fraction of a second
03:10isabel you've forgotten our plan this is all for us to take back what's ours
03:18damien heard gabriel's voice on the other side gabriel are you with isabel what plan
03:26what are you talking about isabel closed her eyes gabriel's voice her anchor and her downfall
03:33echoed in her mind
03:34our plan the words were sweet poison she had come to toledo for him
03:42she had believed in his cause she had let his seditiousness consume her until it became her own
03:47to betray him now was to betray herself to nullify the last months of her life and reduce them to the
03:56pathetic story of a woman deceived
03:57damien i the determination in her voice cracked
04:03she looked at gabriel saw the sweat on his brow the plea in his eyes and a whirlwind of emotions assailed her
04:10love rage confusion gabriel knelt slowly before her never breaking eye contact
04:18he took her free hand the one not holding the phone and squeezed it tightly
04:25trust me she murmured her words soundless
04:29one more time i will explain everything everything but not now not like this the pause seemed endless
04:38damien impatient insisted isabel what's going on there i demand an explanation
04:46isabel took a deep breath making a decision at that crossroads of fate
04:51the anger that had driven her dissipated replaced by an exhausted resignation
04:57gabriel had won again quote it's nothing damien she finally said her voice now tired empty
05:07it's just that i'm a little upset the trip the emotions gabriel was just trying to calm me down
05:15i'll call you later okay but goodbye damien
05:21she hung up the phone abruptly dropping the receiver into its cradle with a click that resonated like a
05:27gunshot in the silence of the room
05:29the relief that flooded gabriel was so immense that he almost collapsed
05:34he fell to his knees with his head bowed catching his breath
05:38you almost ruined everything he whispered without looking up
05:45me isabel replied her voice now laced with bitter sarcasm
05:50or it was you with your lies with your secrets queen begonia gabriel
05:57really while i was wasting away over you you were playing happy family with your cousin's wife
06:02gabriel stood up his face now a mask of seriousness he knew the next battle had just begun
06:11he had to rebuild the bridge he had just burned
06:14it's not what it seems isabel begonia means nothing
06:19she's a piece a necessary tool to reach jesus and through him to the entire family
06:25i needed to get closer to gain their trust in order to gain access to the company to their lives
06:33do you think i enjoy faking this affection
06:37every second is torture but it's a necessary sacrifice for our ultimate goal
06:43he walked toward the window his back to her
06:46it was a calculated maneuver a way of showing false vulnerability
06:50my plan is much bigger than you're telling me imagine
06:55this isn't just about getting my father's money back
06:58it's about dismantling the queen's perfumeries from the inside
07:04turning the brothers against each other
07:06sowing discord exposing their darkest secrets until the empire crumbles in on itself
07:10and for that i need to be on the inside
07:15to be one of them to be the loving nephew the loyal friend
07:19he turned to look at her his eyes shone with the feverish intensity of a fanatic
07:25and when they are at their lowest point when they have lost everything
07:31then and only then will we two come together and claim the ashes
07:35isabel listened to him torn part of her the rational one screamed at him that this was madness
07:44another string of well-woven lies
07:46but another part the one blinded by love and thirsty for revenge wanted to believe him
07:53she wished with all her soul that his words were true
07:58why didn't you tell me
08:00he asked in a softer voice
08:02because it was too dangerous he replied leaning closer cupping her face in his
08:09hands
08:10i couldn't risk one misplaced word one glance putting you in danger
08:17i wanted to protect you my only mistake was underestimating how much it would hurt you
08:23and for that i beg your forgiveness
08:25he kissed her a kiss that wasn't one of passion but of persuasion
08:31a kiss to seal the rift to reassert his control
08:34isabel exhausted and confused surrendered to him
08:39i want to stay she said against his lips
08:42i want to help you i want to see your faces when it all falls apart
08:48gabriel smiled a genuine smile for the first time in hours
08:52but it was a smile of triumph not affection
08:57no my love
08:58your role is far more important away from here
09:01i need you to go to paris
09:04you will be safe there and from there when the time comes
09:08you will pull the strings i tell you to
09:10you are my queen on this chessboard
09:14and a queen never exposes herself on the front lines of battle
09:17go to paris enjoy yourself live and wait for my signal
09:23victory will be all the sweeter
09:24he persuaded her
09:26with honeyed words and promises of a glorious future
09:30he charmed her once more
09:31he accompanied her to pack her bags
09:34helped her organize her departure
09:36acting as the devoted lover she yearned for
09:38and as he watched her board the train that would take her away from toledo
09:44gabriel felt the pain of something akin to remorse
09:47but he crushed it immediately
09:49there was no room for weakness
09:53isabel was a risk an uncontrollable variable
09:56far away she was a useful pawn up close she was a threat
10:01the question hanging in the air however was unsettling
10:05how long would her loyalty last
10:08how long would it take for doubt to take root in her heart again
10:11while gabriel put out one fire another was rekindled in the carpina house
10:18don pedro's office once a sanctuary of order and routine
10:22was now a chaos of papers books and memories
10:25irene and her daughter christina were immersed in a desperate search
10:32digging through the past in the hope of finding a clue to the future
10:35the air was heavy with the smell of dust and old paper
10:43every drawer opened every letter read
10:45it was a journey into the life of a man who was no longer there
10:48i don't understand anything mom christina said
10:53placing a stack of bills on the table with a frustrated sigh
10:56everything seemed so normal
11:01receipts bank correspondence letters from suppliers
11:04nothing to indicate that uncle jose was in trouble or planning an escape
11:11irene ran a hand through her hair a gesture of growing anxiety
11:15there has to be something christina
11:18your uncle wouldn't just disappear someone has to know where he is
11:23the search was exhausting not only physically but emotionally
11:28they were searching through the belongings of a lost brother
11:31while the ghost of a recently deceased father watched them from every photograph
11:35from every personal object
11:37the house which had always been a bustling home
11:42now felt immense empty and silent
11:44the echo of their footsteps on the wood was the only sound that broke the stillness
11:51it was that sense of emptiness that prompted irene to speak
11:54she stopped in her work and looked at her daughter who was standing with her back turned
12:00concentrating on an old tin box
12:02christina she said softly
12:06i've been thinking this house is too big for me alone
12:09the hallways the rooms everything reminds me of them of your father of jose
12:17christina turned around hearing the melancholy in her mother's voice
12:21what do you mean mom
12:24i mean maybe you should come live with me
12:28here together we would keep each other company
12:32the house would have some life again
12:35the proposal took christina by surprise
12:37she saw the longing in her mother's eyes
12:41her need to not be alone in her grief
12:43and it hurt her not to be able to give her an affirmative answer right away
12:47quote
12:48mom i don't know
12:50is it because of luis
12:52irene asked her tone soft but direct
12:55christina lowered her gaze
12:57how could she explain the knot in her chest
13:01her heart was anchored in toledo by love that seemed impossible
13:05while her mind and professional ambition pushed her to fly away
13:08in part she admitted but not only because of him
13:14i feel like my time here is running out
13:16that i need a change a new beginning
13:20before irene could respond an exclamation from christina interrupted them
13:25she had pulled a small blue covered book from the tin box
13:30look at this she said opening it
13:34it was an old savings book from jose
13:38most of the entries were routine
13:42small deposits modest withdrawals
13:44but eventually in the months leading up to his disappearance
13:50the pattern changed dramatically
13:52what is this irene murmured leaning closer to get a better look
13:58large withdrawals
14:00always in cash and always on the same day of the week
14:05christina turned the pages her pulse racing
14:08there was no income to justify them
14:11where did he get the money
14:13and more importantly what did he use it for
14:16or for whom irene added a shiver running through her
14:22the hope that had been waning returned with a vengeance
14:25this was something a real lead
14:30something has to be done about this christina said determinedly
14:34call the police maybe
14:38the police didn't pay much attention to us the first time irene replied skeptically
14:43they'll say it's a family matter that a grown man has the right to disappear
14:49we need someone who knows how to investigate this thoroughly
14:53that's when christina came up with a name
14:57angel ruiz the detective damien hired back then
15:02if anyone can make sense of this it's him
15:05the decision was made
15:08the call was made and the detective intrigued by the new information
15:13agreed to meet with them immediately
15:15hours later the three of them were sitting in the same office
15:21the passbook open on pedro carpona's desk
15:23a crucial piece of evidence
15:25angel ruiz a man of few words and a piercing gaze
15:31studied the movements for a long time
15:34this smells like blackmail or a very serious gambling debt
15:39he finally concluded
15:41my brother hesitated irene
15:43jose was not a gambler and was too prudent to get into trouble he could not control
15:50people change ma'am or they have secrets that no one knows
15:56the detective said without taking his eyes off the passbook
15:59what strikes me is the regularity
16:03this was a systematic payment
16:05let me make a few calls
16:07i will find out the origin of these withdrawals
16:11and perhaps that will give us a name
16:13the detective left leaving them with a knot of hope and fear
16:16the wait was torture
16:20finally the phone rang
16:22it was angel
16:24i have something
16:25his voice said deep and serious
16:27they are not going to like it
16:30i traced the withdrawals to the bank branch
16:32an employee remembered her brother
16:35she said he always seemed nervous and that on one occasion she saw him talking on the street with a man
16:41a man the employee knew
16:46who?
16:47irene asked
16:48holding her breath
16:49there was a pause on the other end of the line
16:53a sergeant in the civil guard
16:55his name is pablo zabalza
16:56apparently he's known in certain circles for not being entirely straightforward
17:02this is bigger and dirtier than we thought
17:05we're entering very dangerous territory
17:09irene and christina looked at each other
17:12fear in their eyes
17:13jose's disappearance was no longer a family mystery
17:18it had become a web of corruption and danger that involved the law itself
17:23and they were about to dive headfirst into it
17:25in the store
17:28oblivious to the drama unfolding in other parts of the neighborhood
17:31carmen and jemma felt like two generals in the middle of a battle
17:35the budding success of the passiana culta line had caught them a bit by surprise
17:41the orders were piling up
17:45the customers were constantly asking questions
17:48and the duties of marta
17:50now absent
17:50fell on her shoulders
17:52i can't keep up carmen
17:56jemma complained as she carefully wrapped a bottle of perfume in tissue paper
18:00between working the counter
18:04managing inventory
18:06and preparing shipments
18:07i need four hands
18:08has anyone heard from mrs marta
18:13carmen sighed
18:14making up an excuse on the spot
18:16she's very busy with her duties as the governor's wife
18:22you know
18:22official events
18:23receptions
18:24important things
18:25jemma raised an eyebrow
18:29clearly not convinced
18:31she knew marta and knew that whatever her new obligations were she would never neglect the store her project her refuge like that but she decided not to press the issue
18:42just then the ringing of the phone
18:44just then the ringing of the phone saved her from an uncomfortable conversation
18:46carmen picked up
18:50carmen picked up
18:51perfumerias de la reyna
18:53tell me
18:53a female voice
18:55vibrant and full of enthusiasm
18:57answered on the other end
18:58this is emma gobontes
19:01i'm speaking to the person in charge of that wonder called passiana culta
19:05carmen gasped for a second
19:08emma gobontes
19:09the trendy actress
19:11the star of the moment
19:12yes
19:14it's me carmen
19:16carmen de la reyna
19:17i'm one of the creators
19:20she replied
19:21trying to make her voice sound professional
19:23and not that of an excited fan
19:24honey
19:26you have to congratulate your entire team
19:29i just received the basket you sent me and i am absolutely in love
19:32that perfume is a work of art
19:37it smells of mystery
19:38of promise
19:39of a summer night
19:40it's exactly what i was looking for for my new character
19:46i'm delighted
19:47carmen's heart swelled with pride
19:49you have no idea how happy it makes us to hear that
19:53miss gobontes
19:54it means the world to us
19:57call me emma
19:59please
19:59and believe me
20:00all of madrid will be talking about this perfume
20:02i'll take care of it myself
20:05when carmen hung up
20:07she had a smile that was too big for her face
20:09she turned to gemma
20:11who was looking at her curiously
20:13it was emma gobontes
20:15she loved the perfume
20:17she said she was in love with passiana culta
20:20the news was like a bomb in the midst of chaos
20:24for a moment they forgot their tiredness and stress
20:28it was the validation they needed
20:31proof that their hard work was paying off
20:33and in carmen's mind
20:38a bold and brilliant idea began to take shape
20:40to take shape
20:41meanwhile in another corner of the neighborhood
20:45christina met with her friend claudia at the tavern
20:47in need of a break and some advice
20:49she told her about her mother's proposal and her own doubts
20:55i don't know what to do claudia
20:57a part of me wants to stay
20:59for my mother
20:59for louise
21:00but i feel like if i don't leave now
21:02i'll regret it for the rest of my life
21:04claudia listened to her attentively
21:08stirring her coffee
21:09and what do you really want to do
21:11forget about everyone else for a moment
21:13what does christina want
21:17christina looked out the window
21:19her eyes lost in the distance
21:21i want to learn
21:24i want to be the best
21:25i want to go to gra
21:26she said it out loud for the first time
21:28and the words rang true
21:30like an inescapable destiny
21:31it's the perfume capital of the world
21:36claudia
21:36the best teachers and the most advanced techniques are there
21:40i could train
21:43come back and
21:44who knows
21:45maybe create my own brand someday
21:47it sounds incredible
21:49claudia said with a mixture of admiration and sadness
21:52as she thought about the her friend's departure
21:53but for that i need money
21:58capital
21:58christina continued
22:00her voice more serious now
22:01and i've made a decision
22:05i'm going to sell my shares in the factory
22:08the statement left claudia's mouth open
22:10christina's shares
22:14inherited from her father
22:16were not a majority stake
22:17but they were significant enough
22:19to alter the delicate balance of power
22:21in the queen's perfumeries
22:22selling them could unleash an internal war between the brothers to get hold of them
22:29christina
22:32are you sure
22:32that
22:35that could change everything in the company
22:37i know
22:37but it's my future
22:38and for the first time
22:39i'm going to put it before everything else
22:41it's my dream
22:45and i'm going to fight for it
22:46at the dispensary
22:50begonia's day passed with the usual calm
22:52a routine that she appreciated
22:54while her mind was a whirlwind of doubts and suspicions
22:56the memory of gabriel's coldness
23:01his surly and distant attitude
23:03of the last few days
23:04weighed on her heart
23:05she clashed head on
23:09with the attentive and loving man
23:11she had known
23:11or who had known her
23:12thought she knew
23:13she felt foolish
23:18naive
23:18fearing
23:19with a blood-curdling dread
23:20that she was repeating
23:22the mistakes of the past
23:23having trusted another man
23:24who wore a mask
23:25the doorbell rang
23:29startling her from her thoughts
23:31she had expected a patient
23:33but instead a delivery man
23:35appeared with a bouquet of flowers
23:36so large she could barely see his face
23:38they were dozens of deep red roses
23:44perfect and fragrant for begonia the queen
23:46the young man asked
23:49struggling to hold the voluminous bouquet
23:51begonia nodded bewildered
23:55the delivery man set the flowers down on the counter
23:58taking up most of the space
23:59there was a small card in his trembling hands
24:04he opened it
24:06forgive my absence
24:07my mind has been elsewhere
24:09but my heart is always with you
24:11yours gabriel
24:14the gesture was spectacular
24:16grandiose
24:17a brazen
24:18opulent attempt to buy her forgiveness
24:20and that was precisely what irritated her the most
24:25she didn't want roses
24:27she wanted answers
24:28she wanted sincerity
24:29the bouquet seemed like an insult to her
24:32a way to paper over the cracks
24:34that had appeared in their relationship with beauty and money
24:36when lose entered the dispensary a short time later
24:41she found her looking at the roses with an expression of profound disappointment
24:45wow it looks like someone is trying to make up for something
24:51lose commented with her usual perceptiveness
24:54begonia sighed
24:57begonia sighed
24:57a sound full of frustration
24:59it's so obvious
25:00isn't it
25:01thinking that a bouquet of flowers can erase his behavior
25:05his distance
25:06his secrets makes me feel like an idiot
25:08lose
25:11you're not an idiot
25:12begonia
25:12you're a woman who wants to believe in people
25:17the problem is when people aren't worthy of that faith
25:20i'm so tired of doubting
25:24begonia confessed
25:25her voice cracking slightly
25:26i promise myself i wouldn't go through this again
25:30the uncertainty
25:33the fear of not knowing who you're really with
25:35i'm terrified that gabriel isn't who he says he is
25:39that it was all a lie
25:42lose put a comforting hand on her shoulder
25:45so don't settle for flowers
25:48demand the truth from him
25:51you deserve it
25:52her friend's words strengthened her resolve
25:55no she wasn't going to forgive him that easily
25:59this grand gesture wasn't the end of the conversation
26:02it was the the beginning
26:04gabriel would have to offer her much more than just roses to regain her trust
26:10distrust of gabriel was growing like a weed
26:16spreading its roots throughout the queen's family
26:18andres had spent the last two days with a knot in his stomach
26:24his cousin's absence so close to his apparent reconciliation with begonia
26:29made no sense
26:31and the excuse of a lightning business trip sounded hollow to him
26:36like a poorly constructed lie
26:38he entered his father's office with a frown and a determined step
26:43damien looked up from his papers
26:46andres do you hear something you seem worried
26:51it's gabriel father andres said bluntly
26:54he's been away for two days no one knows exactly where
27:00don't you think that's strange
27:02damien leaned back in his chair lacing his fingers together
27:05he said he had urgent business to attend to outside of toledo
27:10sometimes these things just happen
27:12and you believed him
27:14andres replied
27:16his tone heavy with skepticism
27:18i'm not starting to think that it's all a farce
27:21his love for begonia
27:25his interest in the family
27:27i'm afraid he's cheating on her father
27:29that he has another woman somewhere
27:31and i don't intend to let begonia suffer again
27:33she's been through enough already
27:37damien sighed
27:39he shared his son's suspicions
27:41although he was reluctant to admit them
27:42gabriel's arrival had been a bomb for the family
27:48but now he was beginning to sense that dangerous currents were stirring beneath that calm surface
27:52calm down son
27:56let's not jump to conclusions
27:58i'll ask him for a convincing explanation as soon as i get back
28:02trust me
28:05but the conversation did not go unnoticed
28:07maria
28:08who had come in to drop off some documents
28:11overheard the last part from the doorway
28:12the concern on andres's face and the seriousness on damien set off all her alarms
28:19she knew that she was gabriel's accomplice
28:23that his loyalty lay in the dangerously divided
28:26as soon as she had the chance
28:31she slipped away and called gabriel from the kitchen phone
28:34quote
28:35gabriel it's me
28:38she whispered urgently
28:39you've got big problems
28:41andres suspects you
28:43he thinks you have a mistress
28:46and damien is going to demand answers from you
28:48you'd better come up with a good
28:51believable excuse
28:52because the net is closing in
28:54meanwhile in the big house
28:58maria herself suffered a mishap that threatened to uncover another of her secrets
29:02she tripped on the stairs and a small vial fell out of her bag
29:08it rolled down the steps and came to a stop at the feet of manuela
29:12who was passing by
29:13the faithful maid picked it up
29:16quote
29:17madam you dropped this
29:19maria paled when she saw the vial in manuela's hands
29:22they were the pills the doctor had prescribed for her
29:26the ones that helped her cope with everything
29:28a secret she kept jealously
29:32quote
29:33thank you manuela
29:35he said
29:36snatching it from her more abruptly than necessary
29:38it's nothing
29:40just some vitamins
29:41but manuela's curious gaze told him that his excuse hadn't been entirely convincing
29:46secrets
29:50he realized with dread
29:51had a nasty habit of wanting to come to light
29:53marta's pain was a bottomless pit and alcohol was her only treacherous ladder to try to escape from it
30:03or at least to forget that she was trapped
30:05she was in the kitchen with the midday light streaming in through the window
30:10but perpetual night reigned in her soul
30:12she poured a generous shot of cognac into a coffee cup
30:17a pathetic attempt to hide her vice
30:19the warmth of the liquor as it went down her throat was both a punishment and a relief
30:26she was about to take another sip when a small voice interrupted her
30:31quote
30:32tita marta
30:33what are you doing
30:34julia was at the door
30:37in her pajamas
30:38her face a little pale and her eyes sleepy
30:40honey
30:43shouldn't you be at school
30:44marta asked
30:46hiding the cup behind a bowl of fruit
30:48mommy says i have a slight fever and that it's better if i stay home
30:54the girl explained
30:55i'm bored
30:57can we make something together
31:00dessert please
31:02quote
31:02marta looked at her
31:03her niece's innocence
31:07her simple desire to make a cake
31:09was a brutal contrast to the darkness that consumed her
31:11she had no strength
31:14she didn't feel like it
31:16but she couldn't say no
31:17seeing a shadow of disappointment on that little face would have been more than she could bear
31:22sure
31:25my love
31:26she said
31:26forcing a smile
31:27we'll make the best chocolate cake in the world
31:31soon
31:34the kitchen was filled with the sounds and smells of baking
31:36the sound of the whisks beating the eggs
31:39the aroma of the chocolate melting in a bain marie
31:42the cloud of flour covering everything
31:44julia laughed
31:48her hands and nose stained with dough
31:50and for a moment
31:52a very brief moment
31:53marta felt almost normal
31:55she allowed herself to immerse herself in the task
31:58in the simplicity of following a recipe
32:00now tita
32:02you have to add the lemon zest
32:04just like fina taught you
32:07julia said
32:08handing her the greater
32:09the name fina
32:11the word hit marta with the force of a punch to the stomach
32:15the image of fina appeared in her mind
32:20as vivid as if she were right there
32:22fina in that same kitchen
32:24laughing
32:25teaching her how to zest the lemon without getting to the white part because it was bitter
32:29the memory was so sweet and so painful that it made her feel sad
32:33she stole the air
32:34the greater fell from her hands
32:36making a metallic noise on the counter
32:38her eyes filled with tears
32:43thick hot tears that she couldn't hold back
32:45a sob escaped from her chest
32:49a guttural animal sound
32:52the lament of a broken soul
32:53she leaned against the table
32:57unable to hold herself up
32:59the world blurred through her sobs
33:01she was no longer in the kitchen
33:04she was back in the house in the mountains
33:06with the smell of pine and blood
33:08with the terrifying silence that followed the blow
33:10julia was scared
33:14she had never seen her aunt like this
33:16she put down the wooden spoon and ran towards her
33:18wrapping her little arms around her legs
33:20aunt what's wrong
33:24you've hurt yourself
33:25marta shook her head
33:28unable to speak
33:29she knelt down and hugged the girl with desperate strength
33:32as if she were clinging to a life preserver in the middle of a raging ocean
33:36she cried into her hair
33:40an inconsolable cry
33:41releasing a tiny part of her soul
33:43of the poison that was killing her inside
33:45it's nothing
33:48my love
33:48she managed to say between sighs
33:50it's just that tita is a little sad today
33:54that's all
33:54but julia
33:57with the intuitive wisdom of children
33:59knew that it was much more than that
34:00she didn't understand why
34:04but she felt the abyss of pain
34:06into which her aunt was sinking
34:07and she stayed there
34:08hugging her in silence
34:10offering her the only consolation she had
34:12her small and warm presence
34:14carmen's idea about emma gobontes wasn't just an idea
34:20it was a vision
34:21she saw the potential
34:24the opportunity to give hidden passion the final push
34:27together with gemma she prepared a proposal and they went to talk to tasio
34:32they found him in the warehouse going through some boxes
34:35they enthusiastically presented the idea to him
34:40hiring emma gobontes as the official image of the perfume
34:43tasio listened to them with his arms crossed and an expression of profound skepticism
34:50are you crazy that was his first reaction
34:55do you know how much an actress like her earns
34:57we don't have that kind of money
34:59we're barely making ends meet
35:02it wouldn't be a million dollar contract
35:05tasio
35:06carmen argued
35:06we could offer her a percentage of sales or payment in kind
35:12she loves perfume
35:15she's inclined
35:16imagine it
35:19her face in magazines associated with our product
35:22sales would skyrocket
35:24it's an investment
35:27not an expense
35:28it's a risk
35:29tasio insisted
35:30and if it goes wrong
35:32it would sink us completely
35:33an actress
35:36people will think it's something frivolous
35:38fleeting
35:38people will think it's glamorous
35:41desirable
35:42exclusive
35:43gemma corrected him
35:45tasio
35:47sometimes you have to take risks to win
35:50and this is a golden opportunity
35:51the discussion went on for a long time
35:53tasio was pragmatic
35:56cautious
35:57he saw the figures
35:58the problems
35:59the possible failures
36:00carmen and gemma saw the future
36:05the prestige
36:06the success
36:06in the end
36:08exhausted by her insistence
36:10and perhaps reluctantly infected
36:12by a bit of her enthusiasm
36:13tasio gave in
36:14okay
36:17he growled
36:18do it
36:19prepare a proposal
36:20but if this goes wrong
36:22the responsibility will be yours
36:24carmen and gemma exchanged a look of triumph
36:28they had won the battle
36:30now they just had to win the war
36:32in the cantina
36:35another man was faced with a decision
36:37that could change his life
36:38raul was having a drink with gas bar
36:42when the rope man approached his table
36:43the veteran mechanic had an expression
36:46that was somewhere between worried and excited
36:48quote
36:49bad news and maybe good news for you
36:53kid
36:53he said
36:54addressing raul
36:55iberto sanchez
36:59the pilot
37:00had broken his leg
37:01in a stupid accident
37:02at home
37:03he won't be able to race
37:05in next week's training
37:07raul felt a pang of pity
37:10for the pilot
37:11quote
37:12and what are you going to do
37:14the rope man smirked
37:16here comes the good news
37:17the team needs someone
37:20to test the cars
37:21to fine tune them on the track
37:23someone with talent
37:27with guts
37:28someone who knows what they're doing
37:29i've talked about you
37:30they want it to be you
37:32the offer hit raul like a bolt of lightning
37:35his dream
37:37the opportunity he'd been waiting for his whole life
37:40to feel the speed
37:42the roar of the engine
37:43the smell of gasoline and burning tires
37:46to be a driver
37:50even if only for a few days
37:52on a professional circuit
37:53but then the image of claudia appeared in his mind
37:57her fear of cars
38:00the trauma she'd been carrying
38:01since the accident that killed her family
38:03their relationship had been built on the promise
38:08that he would leave that world behind
38:10accepting this offer would be a betrayal
38:14i don't know
38:16he stammered
38:17the conflict evident on his face
38:18you don't know
38:21the guy exclaimed incredulously
38:22this is the opportunity of a lifetime
38:25these people have money
38:27connections
38:28if they like you
38:29it could be your entry into the professional world
38:32it's because of claudia
38:34raul confessed quietly
38:35looking at the to gaspar seeking support
38:38gaspar
38:39who knew the story
38:40remained cautious
38:41it's a difficult decision
38:45raul
38:46you have to weigh what's more important to you
38:48quote
38:49but both raul and gaspar were hiding things from each other
38:54raul hadn't told claudia the true extent of his passion for racing
38:58and gaspar hadn't told raul his own secrets
39:04his own ghosts from the past
39:05the conversation was full of silences and half truths
39:11think about it kid
39:13the guy said
39:14patting him on the shoulder
39:15but don't take too long
39:19opportunities like that don't wait
39:21raul stared into his glass
39:23seeing the reflection of a man torn apart
39:25his great passion versus his great love
39:30he knew that whichever he chose
39:32something would be broken forever
39:34andres found marta in the living room
39:38she was sitting on a sofa
39:39staring into space
39:41the cup of coffee or whatever it contained
39:47was on the small table next to a plate
39:49with the remains of a half-eaten cake
39:50there were traces of flour on her clothes
39:56and her eyes were puffy and red
39:57the unmistakable traces of recent crying
40:00he saw her so fragile
40:04so devastated
40:05that his heart sank
40:07the depression his sister was suffering
40:09was a monster that devoured her day by day
40:12and he felt helpless
40:13marta
40:16he said
40:17sitting down carefully beside her
40:19i've been thinking
40:20this situation can't continue like this
40:22you're wasting away
40:25she didn't answer
40:26she didn't even look at him
40:28andres continued
40:29his voice full of protective determination
40:32it's because of fina
40:35isn't it
40:35this is all because of her
40:36well
40:37it's over
40:38i'm going to find her
40:39i promise you
40:40i'll go look for her wherever she is
40:44and i'll bring her back
40:45no matter what it takes
40:46his insistence
40:48his well-intentioned promise
40:49was the spark that ignited the gunpowder
40:51the mention of fina
40:56the idea of andres looking for her
40:58digging up the past
40:59uncovering the dirt they had worked so hard to cover up their secret
41:02was too much for marta
41:04she turned to him
41:08her eyes now blazing with panic and desperation
41:11no
41:12her voice cracked
41:13you can't
41:16you can't look for her
41:18leave her alone
41:19why
41:20andres asked
41:21confused by her violent reaction
41:23do you want her
41:25you need her
41:26and i can't keep seeing you like this
41:28don't you understand
41:29marta gasped
41:31standing up
41:32pacing back and forth
41:33like a caged animal
41:34if only it were that simple
41:38if only she was gone
41:40so explain it to me
41:42he pleaded
41:43standing up too
41:44trying to get closer
41:45help me understand
41:50marta please
41:51she stopped
41:53her back to him
41:54her shoulders shook with dimples
41:56the dam that had held the truth in for so long finally cracked
42:02the weight was too much
42:05the loneliness
42:06unbearable
42:07she needed to share it or she would drown in it
42:10she turned slowly
42:13her face was a mask of agony
42:15she didn't leave andres
42:17i threw her out with a sharp accent
42:19i made her leave
42:23why would you do something like that to protect her
42:26she screamed to protect us all
42:28she took a deep breath
42:31a shaky breath
42:32and the words began to flow
42:34an unstoppable torrent
42:36venomous and liberating
42:37it was at the house in the mountains
42:40Santiago found us
42:42he had followed us
42:43he was drunk
42:44furious
42:45he threatened me
42:48she said
42:49marta's voice dropped to a shaky whisper
42:52as if she were reliving every second of that horror
42:55she lost control
42:58andres lunged at fina
43:00he was going to hurt her
43:02hurt her badly
43:03she fought back
43:06grabbing the first thing she could find
43:08a poker from the fireplace
43:09all she wanted was for him to let go
43:13but he wouldn't stop and she hit him
43:15andres froze
43:17the color draining from his face
43:19the air became heavy
43:23unbreathable
43:24it hit him in the head
43:26marta continued with a blank stare
43:28he fell to the ground and didn't move anymore
43:33there was a lot of blood
43:36he wasn't breathing
43:37he couldn't finish the sentence
43:39the word dead got caught in her throat
43:43choking her
43:44Santiago is dead
43:47the confession finally whispered
43:49coming out like a last breath
43:51fina killed him
43:55andres's world stopped
43:57the pieces of the puzzle fit together
43:59in the most monstrous way possible
44:01fina's escape
44:04marta's depression
44:05the silence
44:06it all took on a terrible dark meaning
44:09but it wasn't his fault
44:11andres
44:12it was an accident
44:14it was self-defense
44:15he would have killed her
44:17marta said quickly
44:19as if she needed to convince him
44:20convince herself
44:22and then
44:25then paleo arrived
44:26he saw everything
44:27and he helped us
44:28the revelation of paleo's involvement
44:31was another blow to andres
44:32he helped us get rid of the body
44:36we buried it in the woods
44:38we made it look like Santiago had simply left
44:42that he had abandoned fina like a coward
44:44paleo arranged everything
44:48and i forced finn to leave
44:50i told her it was the only way
44:53that if she stayed they would find out
44:55that they would blame her
44:56in a high-pitched accent for save her
44:58marta collapsed completely
45:02falling to her knees on the floor
45:04her body shaken by seemingly endless sobs
45:06she had unearthed the truth
45:11and now it lay exposed between them
45:13horrible and naked
45:14andres
45:18having overcome his initial shock
45:20reacted
45:20knelt beside her
45:22wrapped his arms around her
45:23and held her to his chest
45:25letting her cry
45:26letting out all her pain
45:27there were no words
45:31what could he say
45:32in the face of such a harsh
45:33devastating revelation
45:34he could only do one thing
45:39console his sister
45:40hold her while her world fell apart
45:42knowing that now he too
45:44was part of that terrible secret
45:45Santiago's death
45:50was no longer a mystery
45:51but a burden
45:52a burden that from that moment on
45:55both of them would have to bear
45:56sorry
46:24in the case of such a large
