Transcripción
00:00Pia returns, Petra is dying and Kuro suffers.
00:09Episode 692 of The Promise, which will air on Wednesday, October 8, is full of drama, tension and decisions on the edge.
00:22While Petra is between life and death, Samuel embarks on a race against time to get an anti-tetanus serum that could save her.
00:30Amidst the chaos, Martina tries to stay calm by taking care of Catalina's children, although her dedication causes friction with Jacobo.
00:44Pia, who has just returned to the palace, must face cold looks and uncomfortable silences, but manages to regain her position as housekeeper and witness an unexpected gesture of reconciliation from Cristobal.
01:00Kuro, on the other hand, is consumed by watching Angelus slip through his fingers while Manuel decides to make a statement and uncover Anora's lie to Tonio.
01:09An episode where hope, betrayal and love are intertwined at the heart of The Promise.
01:19The air in The Promise had become thick, almost unbreathable.
01:27It clung to the skin like the dampness of an autumn morning, but instead of freshness it brought with it the metallic stench of fear.
01:34The silence that reigned in the corridors was not one of peace, but of restraint.
01:43A heavy, expectant silence, like that which precedes the bursting of a dam.
01:47Each tick of the wall clock in the great hall felt like a hammer blow to the anvil of fate, forging an uncertain future for one of its oldest and most controversial inhabitants.
02:05Petra Arcos struggled between life and death.
02:08In the service room for the sick, the atmosphere was even more oppressive.
02:17The light filtering through the small window seemed reluctant to enter, drawing a pale rectangle on the cold tiled floor that did not quite touch the bed.
02:30There sat Petra, her face, normally a mask of rigidity and disdain.
02:35Now it was stripped of all its armor.
02:37Her skin had the cerulean pallor of watered-down milk, flecked with a feverish sweat that beaded her forehead and temples.
02:53Her lips, usually pressed into a thin line of disapproval, were now parted, dry and cracked,
02:59emitting erratic, shallow breathing that was the only sound of life in her deathly stillness.
03:03The doctor of the Hearns had left barely an hour ago and his words still hung in the room like specters.
03:21Tedanus had been pronounced and the word had fallen on those present with the weight of a tombstone.
03:25A terrible infection contracted through a minor cut on a rusty wire in the garden too many days ago.
03:38An incident that Petra and her pride had ignored and hidden.
03:47Now the toxin coursed through her veins, seizing her muscles, threatening to paralyze her heart.
03:52Her condition is critical, the doctor had added, with the professional gravity of someone who has seen death win too many battles.
04:07Without the specific antitetanous serum administered immediately, her chances are
04:12slim, slim, around the bed, the small group that kept vigil processed the sentence in their own way.
04:27Pia Adair, recently reinstated in her duties but with her soul still bruised,
04:32watched the woman who had been her nemesis for years.
04:34She
04:36felt no triumph, not even bitter satisfaction.
04:43What she felt was an icy emptiness, the contemplation of human frailty in its rawest form.
04:52She saw Petra not as the harpy who had tormented her,
04:55but as a woman alone, fighting a losing battle in an anonymous bed.
04:59Romulo, the butler, stood by the door, his back straight, but his shoulders burdened with the
05:10weight of responsibility.
05:16Every labored breath Petra took was a reproach for her inability to protect her staff.
05:21She knew Petra had been with him for decades.
05:28He knew her deceit, her malice, but also her unwavering and often twisted loyalty to the
05:33Martianess.
05:38Seeing her like this, so vulnerable, caused him profound unease.
05:42But it was Samuel, the young master, who seemed most affected.
05:46He was cornered in the shadows, his fists clenched and a storm in his eyes.
05:59Guilt nodded at him, he had been there when Petra had cut herself.
06:03She had minimized the wound and he, absorbed in his own problems, had not given it much importance.
06:08Now, every gasp from Petra was a direct accusation.
06:17Elizzy was a relentless torture in his mind.
06:23What if he had insisted that she see a doctor and if he had cleaned the wound himself?
06:32The doctor had mentioned in passing that the only serum available,
06:35an experimental but potent batch, brought from Germany,
06:38was in the military dispensary in Cordoba hours away.
06:46An impossible journey in the time they had left.
06:49It was a death sentence disguised as medical information.
06:56It was at that moment that collective despair as something snapped inside Samuel.
07:00Inaction became a poison he could no longer swallow.
07:09He could not stand there and watch a woman's life snuffed out by his negligence.
07:17He stormed out of the room with such abrupt determination that Romulo and Pi flinched.
07:26Sir Samuel, where are you going?
07:28Romulo asked in a hoarse voice.
07:31Samuel turned and his face held an intensity they had never seen before.
07:39I will not stand here and watch her die, he said, his voice tense, vibrating with feverish energy.
07:49The doctor said there is a serum in Cordoba.
07:51Well, I will go to Cordoba to get it.
07:54But, sir, that is madness, Pia intervened, coming closer.
07:58It is a round trip of almost a day, even with the best horse.
08:07The doctor said he needs the serum immediately, in a matter of hours.
08:10Then I will not use a horse, Samuel replied, his mind working at breakneck speed.
08:20I will use the marquise's car.
08:25I will use the marquise's car.
08:27Impossible, exclaimed Romulo.
08:30The marquis would never authorize it, much.
08:32Less to save a member of the service.
08:38It sounds cruel, but it's the truth.
08:44Well, I won't ask for permission, Samuel said with a rebellious spark in his eyes.
08:49I'd rather face my uncle's wrath than the death of a person because of my cowardice.
08:56Romulo, I need the keys and I need you to cover me.
09:05Make something up.
09:06Say I had a family emergency in Lujan.
09:08Anything, quote.
09:14Romulo stared at him, seeing in the young man's eyes not the recklessness of youth,
09:18but a deep need for redemption.
09:22He
09:25saw a man willing to defy all conventions to do the right thing.
09:28And at that moment, the butler made a decision.
09:36He nodded slowly.
09:38The keys are in my office.
09:43And the gasoline.
09:44I'll check the tank.
09:46Godspeed, Mr. Samuel, and may speed be your ally, quote.
09:54As Samuel embarked on his mission against the clock,
09:57life in the rest of the palace tried to continue its course,
10:00although tension seeped through every crack.
10:03Soured the atmosphere.
10:08On the main floor, the drama had a very different tone,
10:11one centered on care and control.
10:18Martina, her heart heavy with the absence of her cousin Catalina and the responsibility
10:23that had been bequeathed to her, had thrown herself body and soul into caring for the
10:27children.
10:32The little ones, oblivious to the tragedies of the adults but sensitive to the charged atmosphere,
10:37were more restless than usual.
10:44Martina had turned the playroom into a refuge,
10:46a realm of fantasy to isolate them from the shadow that loomed over the promise.
10:50Louder, Aunt Martina, louder, the little boy shouted as she rocked him on her knees,
11:01imitating the trot of a horse.
11:02Martina laughed as she tickled him, and the boy's laughter was a bomb in the midst of so much anguish.
11:18She
11:22Read them stories in exaggerated voices.
11:26She built castles with cushions that they would then knock down in a pitched pillow fight,
11:29and she made sure their meals were a game, cutting the fruit into the shapes of stars and ships.
11:34She
11:40tried to make up for her mother's absence, not only with care,
11:43but with a joy and dedication that sprang from her genuine love for them and her cousin.
11:49It
11:49was in the middle of one of these games, while pretending to be a monster chasing the laughing
11:57children down the hallway, that Yacobo appeared.
12:05Stopping dead in his tracks with a serious face and an eyebrow raised in disapproval.
12:13The game was over, interrupted her instantly.
12:15The children's laughter died down, replaced by a sudden shyness before their uncle's austere figure.
12:25Martina, what the hell is this scandal?
12:28His voice was cold, cutting.
12:30This feels more like a madhouse than the home of the Marquises of Lujan.
12:38Martina straightened up, trying to control the irritation that was rising up her neck like a red tide.
12:45Martina, what the hell is this?
12:46Martina, what the hell is this?
12:47We were just playing, Yacobo.
12:51Children need distraction, they sense that something is happening.
12:57What they need is discipline and routine,
12:59not for you to spoil them with this chaos, he replied, coming closer.
13:03His gaze swept over the scene.
13:11Cushions on the floor, an open book face down, a half-eaten piece of cookie on a small table.
13:20Catalina would never allow this disorder.
13:23She was strict, but fair.
13:25You are turning them into little savages.
13:27The comparison with Catalina was like a slap in the face.
13:34Don't you dare tell me how Catalina would raise her children.
13:37Martina snapped, lowering her voice so that the children would not hear her.
13:41Heard, but filled with contained fury.
13:48You have no idea.
13:49Catalina gave them love and freedom.
13:52She didn't keep them in a gilded cage as you seem to claim.
13:59I only care about their education and well-being, and this behavior is not beneficial to them.
14:09They should be studying or at least doing some quiet and edifying activity.
14:12Not rolling around on the floor like animals.
14:20They are children, Jacobo, children who miss their mother.
14:24Don't you have an ounce of empathy in your body or is your heart as stiff as your starch collar?
14:33Sparks flew between them.
14:34Two worldviews, two ways of understanding grief and responsibility, colliding in the narrow hallway.
14:45Jacobo saw in Martina's attitude a chaos that threatened the order he worked so hard to maintain.
14:54Martina saw in Jacobo's rigidity an insensitive cruelty that ignored the emotional needs of two wounded children.
15:00My heart is none of your business, he said through clenched jaw.
15:10But these children are.
15:15And while Catalina is gone, I also have a say in their upbringing.
15:19And I demand that you moderate these.
15:21Displays.
15:26From now on there will be schedules, study hours, hours of silent play, and hours of rest.
15:36And they will be observed.
15:38He turned and walked away, leaving Martina trembling with rage and frustration,
15:43with the two children looking at her with wide, frightened eyes, having understood,
15:47without understanding the words, that joy had been outlawed.
15:53Meanwhile, in the servants' areas, another return was causing its own waves of tension.
16:02Paya Dare was officially the housekeeper of the promise once again.
16:05However, the position they were taking back was not the same one she had left.
16:18The shadow of Ricardo, the butler of Spoda,
16:21and her own absence had left scars on the staff and on the dynamics of the house.
16:25Her first encounter with Santos, the footman who had prospered under Ricardo's regime,
16:36was a clear example of this.
16:41She found him in the pantry calmly rearranging some cans.
16:45Deliberate.
16:51Santos, Pia said in a firm but calm voice.
16:54I need you to prepare a tray with broth and fresh water for Mrs. Petra.
17:02And to tell Maria Fernandez to change her sheets.
17:06Santo turned slowly, an insolent smile on his lips.
17:14He didn't say anything, he simply looked her up and down,
17:17as if assessing whether her authority was real or a farce.
17:21Did you?
17:23Hear what I said?
17:25Pia insisted, feeling her patience beginning to wear thin.
17:33I heard you perfectly, Mrs. Adair, he replied, drawing out the word,
17:37Senora, with a hint of mockery.
17:39I was just wondering if the orders now come directly from you or if they still have to
17:47go through the filter of Mr. Cristobal.
17:49I wouldn't want to commit a fall.
17:54I wouldn't want to commit a fall.
17:56The venom in his words was evident.
17:59It was veiled in subordination, a direct challenge to his newly regained power.
18:03Pia held his gaze, her eyes dark as steel.
18:11The orders come from me, Santos.
18:12And remember that I am the housekeeper.
18:18That would be a fall.
18:21Precisely not to obey them immediately.
18:22Now do as I have asked.
18:24Santos kept smiling for a second longer, as if measuring how far he could pull the string.
18:37Finally he seemed to decide that now was not the time.
18:41He dropped the can in his hand with a sharp thud and walked away without another word.
18:46But his erect back and arrogant gait screamed of the battle he had just declared against him.
18:54The next obstacle was even greater.
18:56Christopher Caliguri.
18:58Pia was summoned to his office, the same place where Ricardo had meted out his reign of terror.
19:07The air still seemed stale with his presence.
19:11Christopher stood, looking out the window with his back to her.
19:18Pia, he said without turning around.
19:21I am glad you have agreed to return to your post.
19:23The sentence was formal, proper, but lacking in warmth.
19:28It.
19:32Was the statement of an employer to an employee,
19:34not the greeting to a woman who had suffered an ordeal and returned to the only home she knew.
19:41I had nowhere else to go, young master, she replied sincerely, standing in the center of the room,
19:48feeling small and inspected.
19:56Christopher finally turned.
19:58His face was a mask of impassivity, but his eyes studied her with the coldness that chilled her.
20:03Ricardo's management was poor for being generous, he began.
20:12He left the service in a sorry state.
20:15There.
20:15Is resentment, disorganization.
20:21His departure was a disgrace, but also in a way an opportunity to start over.
20:25I trust that you can restore the order that always characterized the promise.
20:38Every word was a silent reproach.
20:41You left.
20:42You abandoned us.
20:43You are responsible for the chaos that followed.
20:46He felt the need to defend herself, to shout that she had left because her life was in danger,
20:55because Ricardo had threatened.
21:01But he knew it would be useless.
21:03In front of men like Cristobal, a maid's justifications were just excuses.
21:07I will do everything in my power, sir.
21:15He said in a firm voice despite the nod in his stomach.
21:23Well, that's what I expected, he said, walking towards his desk.
21:27Your first task will be to normalize the situation.
21:30The staff is tense.
21:36They need clear direction.
21:38Pia saw her opportunity.
21:39It was a gamble, but she had to take it.
21:46If you'll allow me, sir, I think I know where to start, she said, stepping forward.
21:50The system of faults that Don Ricardo established is a constant source of fear and resentment among the staff.
22:06People work with the anguish of making a mistake and that makes them make more.
22:14It doesn't foster efficiency, only resentment.
22:18Cristobal looked up from his papers, surprised by his audacity.
22:25And what do you propose, anarchy?
22:28That everyone does what they want without fear of the consequences.
22:36No, sir, I propose returning to the old system, to trust and responsibility.
22:40To correct mistakes with a fair reprimand, not with a financial punishment that can leave a family without food.
22:50The loyalty of the service is not bought with fear, it is earned with respect.
22:58There was a long silence.
23:04Cristobal drummed his fingers on the table, weighing his words.
23:08Pia held her breath.
23:13She knew that much was at stake.
23:16He could interpret it as insolence and put her in her place from day one.
23:19But to her surprise, Cristobal nodded slightly.
23:27It makes sense.
23:28He agreed in a voice that sounded almost human.
23:31Fear is a bad advisor.
23:35Fear is a bad advisor.
23:37Okay, Pia, the system of faults is eliminated.
23:40Communicate it to the rest of the service, but let it be clear, this is not an invitation to debauchery.
23:54I expect a firm hand from you when necessary.
23:58I will be firm, but fair as always, she assured me.
24:05I hope so, you may leave.
24:08Pia left the office with a bittersweet feeling.
24:11She had won an important battle, a small glimmer of hope for the staff.
24:19But Cristobal's coldness, that the unbridgeable distance between them had left a taste of ashen flavor in his mouth.
24:29Their return was not going to be a bed of roses.
24:32It was more like a climb up a hill full of thorns.
24:41Far from the intrigues of power, in the misty gardens of promise a much more silent and painful battle was being fought, that of the heart.
24:48Kuro was experiencing the agony of seeing the love of his life slip through his fingers like fine sand.
24:57Angela, the sweet and enigmatic maiden who had illuminated his world, had become an elusive shadow.
25:08He avoided her, it wasn't an impression, it was a fact.
25:16If he entered a room, she would find an excuse to leave.
25:19If their eyes met in a hallway, she would push him away immediately, as if eye contact burned her.
25:29He had tried to talk to her over and over again, but he always met with a wall of evasions.
25:38I can't now, Kuro.
25:44I have to take this to Miss Martina.
25:47Excuse me, Mrs. Pia is calling me.
25:49I'm very busy.
25:53I'm very busy.
25:55That afternoon that he saw her by the hedge maze picking flowers for a vase in the house.
26:04His heart skipped a beat.
26:06She was alone, this was his chance.
26:08He approached her, his heart pounding in his chest.
26:11Angela, he said in the softest voice he could muster.
26:19She started, almost dropping the flowers.
26:22She turned around and for an instant Kuro saw in her eyes the reflection of the girl he had fallen in love with.
26:32A warm, light-filled gaze.
26:38But it was only for an instant.
26:41The light went out, replaced by an expression of nervousness and distance.
26:48Sir Kuro, she said, bowing slightly.
26:53Do you need anything?
26:57The young master was like a stab.
27:00She never called him that when they were alone.
27:03It had.
27:06Always been Kuro.
27:08I need to talk to you, he said, ignoring the formality.
27:16Please, just five minutes.
27:19She looked around as if afraid someone would see them.
27:21I don't think that's a good idea, young master.
27:29Enough, he exclaimed, unable to bear it any longer.
27:32The pain overflowed from his voice.
27:38What have I done to you, Angela?
27:39Why do you treat me like a stranger?
27:41Why do you run away from me?
27:43A few weeks ago you told me you loved me and now.
27:46Now you can't even look me in the eyes.
27:52Tell me what's wrong.
27:53I beg you, if I've done anything to offend you, tell me and I'll beg your forgiveness on my knees if necessary.
28:03But don't torture me with this silence.
28:05His words, full of sincere desperation, seemed to have an effect on her.
28:15She saw his eyes fill with tears that he struggled to hold back.
28:18His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, as if a confession was struggling to come out.
28:28You haven't done anything, Kuro, she whispered in a broken voice.
28:33The problem isn't you, it's...
28:38Me.
28:39So what's the problem?
28:41Whatever it is, we can face it together.
28:43I love you, Angela.
28:47I love you more than my own life.
28:50I would do anything for you.
28:52She shook her head and a single tear rolled down her cheek.
28:56You.
29:00Can't.
29:01No one can, she said with desolate finality.
29:05What's ours?
29:05What's ours is impossible, Kuro.
29:07You have to forget about me.
29:12It will be better for both of us.
29:15No, he replied, trying to take her hand, but she pulled it away as if his touch burned her.
29:24Don't ask me to do that.
29:25I can't forget you.
29:26I don't want to.
29:27Give me a reason.
29:28Just one reason.
29:29Quote.
29:30Angela looked at him, and there was an abyss of sadness in her gaze.
29:33There are things that can't be told, secrets that are better left buried, she whispered.
29:46Please, Kuro, don't make this any harder.
29:49Get away from me.
29:51And without saying anything else, she turned and ran toward the house, leaving Kuro alone in the garden.
29:56His heart shattered and the echo of her words resonating in his head.
30:04What secrets?
30:06He wondered as the pain turned into a cold knot in his stomach.
30:13What could be so terrible is to destroy the love they had for each other.
30:18Helplessness and despair flooded him, and for the first time he felt that he had lost Angela forever.
30:23While some hearts were breaking, others were trying to build themselves on foundations of hope and, unknowingly, deception.
30:39Tonio, the chauffeur, was living in a haze of happiness.
30:43He was hopelessly in love with Honora, the French maid whose beauty and charm had captivated him from the very first day.
30:53To him, she was perfect, elegant, intelligent, and fun.
31:00Their future together was a blank canvas that he had already begun to paint with the brightest colors of his imagination.
31:05He found her in the kitchen helping Lope with the preparations for dinner.
31:15He waited patiently until she finished her task and when she went out into the patio to get some air,
31:20he intercepted her with a smile that lit up his entire face.
31:23Honora Monomore, he said, using one of the few French words he had learned to impress her.
31:38You're more beautiful than ever tonight, she smiled at him.
31:42A practiced smile, charming, but it did not quite reach her eyes.
31:46Tonio, always so gallant, what fly has bitten you?
31:54The fly of love, Honora.
31:57The fly of impatience, he said, taking her hands.
32:05I've been thinking, we've been together for a while now and I've never been more certain of anything in my entire life.
32:10I love you, Honora, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
32:19Honora's face tightened almost imperceptibly.
32:25I love you too, Tonio.
32:27I know it, and that's why I think the time has come.
32:30He continued, excitement vibrating in his voice.
32:37We should set a wedding date.
32:39Let's set a time.
32:41I want to shout from the rooftops that you're going to be my wife.
32:48I want everyone to know.
32:50We can start looking at churches, making plans.
32:57Nora's smile became a little more forced.
33:00She gently let go of Tonio's hands and stepped back, adopting an air of false solemnity.
33:09Oh, Tonio, my love, nothing could make me happier.
33:13But do you think this is the right time?
33:19Why wouldn't I?
33:21He asked, confused.
33:22Well, with everything that's going on in the house, she said with a studied expression of concern.
33:28Mrs. Petra being so sick, the absence of the gentleman, the tension.
33:38I wouldn't think it would be respectful to start celebrating a wedding under these circumstances.
33:42It would be a breach of decorum.
33:49The rules of the engagement are very strict regarding mourning and discretion, as you know.
33:57Tonio frowned.
33:59The excuse was plausible, but something inside him told him it was just that, an excuse.
34:04But now, this could last months.
34:11We can't put our lives on hold because of the gentleman's problems.
34:19Our happiness also matters, right?
34:22Of course it does.
34:23Quote.
34:24My life is what matters most to me, she said, leaning closer again and caressing his cheek.
34:34And that's precisely why I want our wedding to be perfect, without shadows, without worries.
34:43A moment of joy for everyone.
34:45I only ask for a little patience.
34:47Let's wait until the waters calm down.
34:50Will.
34:52You do it for me?
34:54Her voice was a seductive whisper.
34:57Her eyes looked at him with a calculated intensity.
34:59Antonio, as always, melted away.
35:06The doubt that had begun to sprout in his chest dissolved before her caress.
35:14Of course, my love.
35:16For you, whatever it takes.
35:18He said resignedly.
35:20I'll wait, but not too much, okay?
35:22Quote.
35:22Not too much, she promised, giving him a quick kiss on the lips.
35:30Quote.
35:31I have to go back inside now.
35:36Pai is reorganizing everything and I don't want her to miss me.
35:40She left him there in the courtyard, his heart torn between excitement and a growing, uncomfortable feeling of uncertainty.
35:48He.
35:48Loved her, but he couldn't help but feel that there was always something in the way, an invisible barrier that she herself put up.
35:58Every time he tried to get too close to the real commitment.
36:05What Tonyo didn't know was that someone had witnessed the conversation.
36:10Manuel, who had gone out into the courtyard in search of respite from the oppressive atmosphere inside, had heard everything from the shadow of a column.
36:18And each evasive word from Anora had been like a hammer blow to his conscience.
36:26Manuel had been fighting with himself for days.
36:32Ever since he had discovered Anora's deception with the aerodrome plans, he felt like an accomplice to a cruel farce.
36:38He had seen how his friend Tonyo became deluded, how he built castles in the air with a woman who behind his back had proven to be a liar and a manipulator.
36:51Keeping him quiet weighed like a millstone.
36:59His loyalty to Tonyo was at war with the instinct not to get into trouble and not to cause pain that he knew would be immense.
37:05But hearing her lie again, using the rules of the promise as a shield to avoid a commitment that she clearly did not want, was the straw that broke the camel's back.
37:17He could no longer continue to be a silent spectator.
37:25He could not allow his friend to continue living in such a miserable deception.
37:29Friendship demanded the truth, no matter how painful.
37:37He made a decision.
37:38He waited for Anora to disappear and approach Tonyo, who continued to stare into space with a melancholy expression.
37:48Tonyo, can we talk for a moment?
37:50Manuel's voice was serious.
37:52Devoid of its usual lightness.
37:54Tonyo was startled.
38:00Sir, of course, is something wrong?
38:02Yes, something is wrong.
38:04And I'm sorry to be the one to tell you.
38:10It's about Anora.
38:12Quote.
38:13The mention of her name made Tonyo defensive.
38:19What's wrong with her?
38:21Manuel took a deep breath.
38:22There was no easy way to do it.
38:24Tonyo, we're friends, right?
38:27And friends owe each other the truth.
38:28Even if it hurts.
38:30You're
38:31scaring me, sir.
38:35Get to the point.
38:37Anora lied to you.
38:38Quote.
38:39Manuel blurted out bluntly.
38:44The words hung in the cold afternoon air.
38:47She lied to you about something very important.
38:50Tonyo looked at him incredulously.
38:55Then a nervous smile crossed his lips.
38:58This is a joke.
38:59It's not funny.
39:02It's
39:02not a joke at all.
39:06I wish it were, Manuel insisted.
39:08His gaze fixed on him, conveying the full seriousness of the situation.
39:12Do you remember the aerodrome plans that disappeared from my office and then mysteriously turned up?
39:21Yes, of course.
39:28You said you misplaced them.
39:29I didn't misplace them.
39:31Someone stole them.
39:32And that person was right on time.
39:38Tonyo was left speechless.
39:40The accusation was so monstrous, so inconceivable, that his first reaction was furious denial.
39:45That's impossible.
39:51It's a lie.
39:52Why would she do something like that?
39:54She wouldn't hurt a fly.
39:56You're wrong.
40:01I'm not wrong, Tonyo.
40:03I saw her.
40:05Well, not directly, but I have proof.
40:08A crucial detail was missing from the plans that turned up.
40:10A detail that only someone who doesn't understand aeronautics would overlook.
40:14And I know she tried to sell them or at least get information from them.
40:23She's been using you and your trust.
40:30Manuel told her the whole story, the details of his trap, the conversation he had with her,
40:35how he had confronted her and how she, although she didn't openly admit it, gave herself away with her reaction.
40:44Every word was a crushing blow to Tonyo.
40:47His face went from disbelief to anger and from anger to a deep, overwhelming desolation.
40:56The bright canvas of his future was cracking before his eyes, revealing the rotting fabric beneath.
41:02No, it can't be, he whispered, more to himself than to Manuel.
41:11Anora's evasiveness about the wedding, her reluctance, everything was starting to come together in a horrible, painful way.
41:17She loves me, Tonyo, I'm sorry.
41:24I really am, Manuel said, putting a hand on his shoulder.
41:32I know this is terrible, but I couldn't let you continue living in this deception.
41:36You deserve better, you deserve someone who truly loves you, Tonyo didn't answer.
41:49He stood there, motionless as the truth tore through the layers of his love and his illusions, sweeping everything away in its path.
41:56The betrayal of the woman he loved, revealed by his best friend, was a slow-acting poison.
42:12He didn't scream, he didn't cry, he just stood there staring blankly as the world he had painstakingly built crumbled around him, piece by piece, leaving him alone in the ruins.
42:26The question hanging in the air, heavier than any words, was, what was he going to do now?
